Cybertron Forever: /* Warning regarding your edits on the Dylan Gould-related pages */ Grammar.

== Dylan Gould's pets ==

How many pets does Dylan Gould has? because in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], when the [[Chicago]] invasion began, he mentioned dogs in plural when he ordered their transfer to the back of his apartment in [[Trump Tower]], which means is more than one, and later when [[Carly Spencer|his prisioner]] was observing [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel]] through a telescope, it's possible to see two dogs, but i fear that he has more than just two, and more animal species beyond just dogs as pets. If anyone knows how many he has, just type it here the answer. Thanks! --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 10:15, 23 November 2020 (EST)
:I'm currently rewatching the film right now and I just wanted to let you know that from what I can see, Dylan only refers to them on-screen as "the dogs". I'll wait until the credits and see If I can find anything else that may make mention of them. If you're serious about making a page for them I think the most suitable name for the page would be '''Dylan Gould's Dogs'''. If you would like, I would be more than willing to start the page and the dog actor pages up with the information that we and Abates have found on them.

::Just thought I'd update you, we've made the pages for the [[Dylan Gould's watchdogs|in-film roles]] and the [[Shooter and Hottie|actors themselves]]. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 02:55, 9 December 2020 (EST)

== Signing ==

:Please type four tildes like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> after each message on a talk page instead of typing your signature yourself. The wiki will automatically code your signature with an accurate timestamp. You'll also find it at the bottom of the screen in the box of templates whenever you make edits to pages under "'''Sign your name:'''"
:Thanks. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 18:29, 27 November 2020 (EST)

:Wow that's an very useful typing tip, thanks! Also did you noticed that i made talked to you in your talk page two days ago? --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 17:07, 30 November 2020 (EST)

== Deletion of character pages. ==

Do not put character pages up for deletion because the same information is on a subgroup page. Subgroup pages are not made for character read ups, only for collective plot references. Subgroup pages are made to have as little information regarding the individuals as possible as the individual character pages are made for that purpose. As for the [[Twins (ROTF)|Twins]] page, there are still discussions on Discord being carried out on whether or not the page should exist. We admit that it is not very fair on the other users that aren't in the Discord server as the discussions can't be seen by them, but this is the only way we have been able to reply instantly and not have questions that would usually be made in discussion pages being left unanswered. Also, on a side note, please read talk pages on main articles before making any big edits, as there can sometimes be crucial information found there (ie: the Twins page discussion on only have their combined toys listed).

We thank you for your dedication into making pages and edits into things that we have missed. We are all guilty of making mistakes from time to time, so no harm done, that's the beauty of being able to revert and edit things! [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 18:04, 15 December 2020 (EST)

:It's ok, i also make mistakes sometimes, it won't happen again. Thanks! --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 21:04, 19 December 2020 (EST)

== Before you make any big changes... ==
Hello! I've noticed you taking on large projects and performing large edits. In general, before you carry out a task like that, please discuss it either on the [[Transformers Wiki talk:Community Portal|Community Portal]] or our [https://discord.com/channels/656241088826441729/656248887534944265 Discord page]. I highly recommend the Discord, since you can often talk with other editors in real time! Please do ''not'' make decisions to do large edits by using a particular user's talk page (such as abates or Fanofcoolstuff). That won't get you the consensus of other editors. Thank you! [[User:Prime Radiant|Prime Radiant]] ([[User talk:Prime Radiant|talk]]) 18:19, 17 January 2021 (EST)

==Changing image captions==
As per [[Transformers Wiki:Captions|our captions policy]], you should not be changing image captions written by other users (unless there is a community consensus that a joke is bad/offensive/etc.). Please do not keep changing the caption on the Dino article – consider this a formal warning on the matter. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 16:36, 28 January 2021 (EST)

:Oh come on, why i don't have permition to do this but you guys have? This is not fair! --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 00:07, 1 March 2021 (EST)

== Talk page edits ==

Hi, please don't make small talk page edits to complain no one has responded to you yet. People will respond to your messages when and if they can. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 21:44, 31 January 2021 (EST)

==Talk page use==

Please cease using talk pages for trying to start discussions on fan theories you have, they are meant for discussions on improving the page, not fanon. [[User:McBaggins|McBaggins]] ([[User talk:McBaggins|talk]]) 21:39, 11 February 2021 (EST)

:Okay, i won't do it again. In fact, every mistake i do that everyone talk to me about in my talk page i fix and stop repeating, Prime Radiant once told me to talk about big changes on the community portal, and now i'm doing that. Jalaguy, told me to not change the image captions made other users, so i'm not doing this anymore. Abates told me to not make small edits to complain no one has replied to me, so i'm not doing it. So if i'm saying i won't use talk pages to start discussions my theories, than i won't do it never again. You have my word. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 23:15, 11 February 2021 (EST)

== Some writing tips. ==

{{correctenglish}}
Hi there, first of all I wanted to say that your collaborations to the wiki are very appreciated, but please be a little more careful with your grammar and always proofread your edits before saving them. You frequently mispells the names of characters/movies/TV shows/etc and writes some of their initial letters in lowercase when they should be in uppercase. I also noticed that you sometimes try to translate by yourself the titles of movies and TV shows from their Brazilian titles back to English, when it would take you mere seconds to search the web for their actual original titles and use them instead. And one more tip, the correct spelling is always "a Brazilian" and never "an Brazilian".

Again, you're doing a fine job overall so please don't take this badly, I just want to help you improve your skills before your edits start to be reverted for not being up to standards.--[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 14:40, 19 February 2021 (EST)

== Regarding your edits on the Dylan Gould-related pages ==

Can you please stop on the undo-edits war? And as the others have said, you're reading a bit too much into it regarding Dylan. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 18:44, 24 February 2021 (EST)

:Sorry if i caused trouble by doing that but the thing is the edits that i've done on those pages are based on what i found out by reading the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|DOTM novelization]] and the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|IDW comic adaptation]], and i'm including them here so that they can be more complete. And the reason i'm doing this with them is because i HATE DYLAN GOULD! I hate him so much that just by looking at his face or his bodyguards or [[Dylan Gould's assistant|his assistant]] or [[Dylan Gould's watchdogs|his dogs]], i have the feeling that i gonna have an heart-attack. I only created his assistant's page so that i could create the page about [[Hotchkiss Gould Investments]], since i decided i would create it once the company's most known employees had their pages, and his assistant was the only one who didn't have-it at that time. And i asked about creating an article about his dogs since i couldn't help but to feel sorry for them, from being adopted by an evil human and to be traumatized by hearing the fire that killed all of his body guards in the attack at [[Trump Tower]] and surviving the onslaught just like how Dylan did. I know that what i said about his body guards dying in the slaughter sounds like speculation, but read the parts where i talked to Abates and Fanocoolstuff27 in [[User_talk:Abates#Human_Collaborators|their]] [[User_talk:Fanofcoolstuff27#Human_Collaborators|talk]] pages to learn more. And i'm still talking with them about it, in fact i found more evidences about that fact in the novelization and comic adaptation themselves and i'll tell this to them later. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 19:17, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::If you hate Dylan so much maybe you should consider not editing his page anymore. --[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 20:06, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::I want to stop, but first i need to include every single info about him and everything related to him that everyone here are still glossing over. Exemple: in the novel and comic adaptation Dylan ordered [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to execute the Autobot prisoners just because [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] destroyed his apartment. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 20:16, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::::That you want to add info to the wiki about Gould and his company is fine. In regards to you "hating" Gould, like Fritz said, you would be better off of not editing his page in the future, because those recent edits aren't contributing anything substantive to the wiki. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 20:26, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::::I will stop, i just need to make this edit about this detail in her page that his assistant was killed after the party where he revealed to [[Sam Witwicky]] that he works for the Decepticons, that in the novel and comic he ordered Soundwave to kill the prisoners because of what Bumblebee did to his apartment, and that his body guards died in the slaughter that occurred in Trump Tower and i'm done with it. His assistant's death is obvious since she is a human collaborator and in the movie [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] ordered them to kill all the collaborators in the moment set in africa, but his body guards' deaths is gonna be hard to convince, since almost everyone on this wiki don't believe that, only Renato, my parents, our friends from college before Renato and i got married and the members from our transformers' fan club do believe that, specially because they're the one who showed me evidences of their deaths in the novelization and IDW comic adaptation, so before i do those edits, i'll talk to Abates and Fanocoolstuff27 first. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 22:23, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::::::This is ''still'' just speculation. She doesn't appear any further in the film past the big reveal of working with the Decepticons. Please stop trying to convince us of speculative information that isn't displayed in any media. The wiping out of collaborators took place at the beginning-to-mid section of the film, Dylan Gould's revelation takes place in the mid-to-end section. There is absolutely no evidence that Dylan's workers were killed as part of Laserbeak/Soundwave/any other Decepticon's assassinations, nor Bumblebee's gun fire on the apartment. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 22:40, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::::::I'm not trying to convince anyone with theories, i'm telling what i know and learned. They were killed because they're collaborators and Megatron ordered them to '''''kill all of them''''', his assistant was probably killed after the party just happening off-screen and as i read in the answers to my questions in [[Talk:Hotchkiss Gould Investments|his company's talk page]] we can only include facts established onscreen, so i won't edit her page, but his body guards did died, because we saw them panicking when Bumblebee opened fire at the apartment and he did that because he felt that they should all pay for their crimes with their lives, besides as i'm saying a lot of times on Fanocoolstuff27 and Abates pages, besides that there is the superhero movie clichê where the villain and all of his henchmen are standing still, witnessing the hero escape after saving the one they love, and that happened in the film in the form of Dylan approaching the edge of his apartment after the fire was over and as we could see, no body guards where with him to see the Orbital Assault Carrier falling from the sky, nor they were with him when he approached [[35 East Wacker]] to inform about the Autobots' survival and didn't even shown their disgustingly ugly faces when Dylan ordered Soundwave to kill the prisoners. Last but no least, in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|''DOTM'' novelization]] Dylan survived the onslaught by throwing himself backward, hitting the floor on the opposite side of the living room from where the fire was occuring, and at the time Bumblebee opened fire, everyone inside Trump Tower where on the room that was obliterated by the guns' bullets (that's the evidence that confirms the deaths of his bodyguards that comes from the novelization that i mentioned before. I was going ti write this in Abates and Fanocoolstuff27's talk pages, but because of what he wrote to answer me, i decided to do it here). Fanocoolstuff27, if you're reading this and think that what my last is all invented by me, go read the novel and you'll see that it's written like this quote: 'The guns aboard the fighter plane cut loose, strafing the penthouse apartment, blasting Laserbeak against the wall. Dylan threw himself backward, hitting the floor on the opposite side of the living room from Carly. He let out a scream and cowered behind a Louis XIV chair. The guns stopped firing. Carly, sensing her moment, jumped to her feet and bolted for the balcony.' If you still don't believe i don't care, because the ugly truth is: His assistant and body guards weren't supposed to exist in the movie, since in the earlier versions of the movie's script, which is can be read and seen in all [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|of]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel|it's]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|adaptation]] material, they don't even exist, meaning that by the time he revealed to Sam that he works for the Decepticons, Dylan is the only collaborator to still be alive. They only exist in the movie because [[Michael Bay]] wanted that way and he does whatever he wants when he's directing a blockbuster movie. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 18:53, 26 February 2021 (EST)
::::::::I feel like we're going in circles here. Don't know about you guys but I quit. --[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 22:06, 26 February 2021 (EST)
::::::::Unless you can show us actual text that says that these people were killed, or actual footage from the movie showing it, or another character in the movie saying specifically that these people were killed, then you cannot say that they were killed. Anything else is just your speculation. They may have been killed. Or they may have run off to Costa Rica and opened an ice cream parlor. We don't know. We can't say. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 22:35, 26 February 2021 (EST)
:That's what i tried to explain Khajidha, they may have been killed off screen, the last time his assistant appeared was while Dylan asked "You why we didn't returned to the moon after 1972?", and the last time his bodyguards appearead was right when 'Bee opened fire at the apartment, but because of what what in those scenes and no one in the film asking what happened to them (which i think was good because i hate his assistant and bodyguards too) then there fates are up to interpretation, which means you like me can think they died while others can think they're alive since none of them are wrong. Despite DOTM being my favorite movie of all 5 movies that Michael Bay directed (even being better than the [[Transformers (film)|first]]), i think that Bay jumped the shark when he decided to include these guys and make leave their fates the way it was shown, as this is causing this trouble to the wiki that i began in [[Calendar|December]] of last year with this heated conversation that's taking months and people claiming "its a theory" or "it's fanfiction" or what the [[Slag (slang)|slag]] anyone here want to say. In the end i think it's better their fates to be up to [[Fandom|one's]] [[Personal canon]], and i think they shouldn't have never appeared in first place, which is something that the original version of the script did well, (it can be seen and read in the novels and comic adaptation). --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 23:26, 26 February 2021 (EST)
::"May have been" = your speculation. Such speculation does not belong on the page. You can believe that they died, but you must not write anything about that here. Your beliefs are just that, your beliefs. The only thing causing trouble here is you trying to put your beliefs in the articles as if they were facts. When you write about what happens in the movie, you should write only what is shown in the movie. If that means that some characters don't have resolutions to their story, that's fine. Write what they were shown to do and stop writing when you get to the last thing they were shown to do. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 23:33, 26 February 2021 (EST)
::Sssssssssssstooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 23:38, 26 February 2021 (EST)
:::It's okay then, and M Sipher, i want you to apoligize! Since the way you wrote the word "Stop" the reason why you wrote-it here offended me, because now, i feel relieved at reading what you wrote to me Khajidha, thank you very much. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 23:42, 26 February 2021 (EST)
:In ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', Dylan answered the phone and said "I'm watching [[Megatron (Movie)|him]] drive up right now." and it was because of that call that [[Dutch (DOTM)|Dutch]] managed to hack into his phone and triangulate his location, and what buggs me in this part (which took me a lot of nights without sleeping when i was younger) is who called him to talk with him on the phone? I know i promise i wouldn't use talk pages to ask questions that i want to be answered, but this is something that's killing me out of curiosity. In fact not even my husband knows the answer. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 00:07, 1 March 2021 (EST)
::The wiki has been around for a long time. It needs some things. It does not need other things. At least a dozen people have weighed in, so in case it's not clear, let me tell you one thing the wiki does not need.
::The wiki.
::Does not.
::I repeat.
::''Does not.''
::Need any more information about Dylan Gould.
::It does not need multi-page-long rants about minutiae about a supporting character in one movie.
::Many people have weighed in. It's time to move on.

== Warning regarding your edits on the Dylan Gould-related pages ==
Consider this a second formal warning. Please stop trying to force your speculation into ''any'' pages involving Dylan Gould, or you will be temporarily blocked from editing. You have been told multiple times by both other editors and some of the admin to stop doing so. Do '''not''' make any more edits regarding Dylan Gould, or his watchdogs, or his assistants, or on ''any other'' pages that even mentions Dylan Gould. Speculation is speculation, and the wiki can not accept anything that is speculation - the wiki only accepts official materials and interviews that can be cited. We understand your zeal, but there comes a stopping point. As Prime Radiant pointed out, your help with the Brazilian voice actors is much more appreciated. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 07:31, 1 March 2021 (EST)

:I know about that, and i'll stop doing that, but first i want to know, who called him to talk to him on his phone when he arrived at his apartment in Trump Tower? Because he told to the caller that he could see Megatron coming, and it was because of him answering the call that Dutch managed to hack into his phone and track him down. I know you told me to not use talk pages to ask about questions, but that is killing me out of curiosity and not even Renato knows the answer. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 11:13, 1 March 2021 (EST)

:::I'll also add this:
{{notachatroom}}
:::Discussion of who Dylan talked to - or ''anything else related to Dylan'' that's not mentioned in either movie or books - is best done at fan forums, ''not'' the wiki Talk pages.

:Since the day you guys threaten to block me if i did it again, i stopped editing those pages and moved on. In fact, the last time i edited those pages was almost one month ago. I haven't edited them ever since then. In the [[Ask Vector Prime]] [[Talk:Ask Vector Prime|talk page]], i just said that i i was disapointed to find out that that the Tumblr version is fanmade because i wanted to ask him those questions for him to answer, so i just said that i'll wait until his "official" return so that i can ask him. I know i inserted the links to their pages on my reply, but i did that because i like to add links to articles when i'm talking to anyone about something here on the Wiki. Besides, i only mentioned them, nothing else. In other words, when said i wasn't going to do it again, i made a promise, and when i make one, i keep it. And [[User:Riptide|Riptide]] blocked me just because i mentioned them. Am i also forbidden to mention them in talk pages? Because i feel this the "real" reason why she (or he) blocked me!

::As per above, you were specifically asked "Do '''not''' make any more edits regarding Dylan Gould, or his watchdogs, or his assistants, or on ''any other'' pages that even mentions Dylan Gould." which would include bringing them up on unrelated talk pages. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 01:23, 20 March 2021 (EDT)

:::Well, then i guess i really diseverd that. However, nobody told me that i wasn't allowed to menton Dylan and/or his dogs or his assistant (you guys should stop writting assistant in plural because he has only one in the film) or his bodyguards or anyone and/or anything related to him outside of their talk pages, the ''only'' thing you guys told me was to not edit those pages. That was the only thing you said about it, nothing else, if you didn't wanted me to mention them outside of their talk pages, then you should have told me about it, so would be more careful to not mention them in in my replies on the Ask Vector Prime talk page yesterday. Since as said before, i never break any promises that i make, and i made a promise when i said i would stop doing it. This time, however, i accidently broke my promise because i did something i wasn't allowed without knowing that i wasn't allowed to do, since you all ommited it from me.

Yes, i read his post above, but i've only understood that i should ask questions about him at fan forums, since they exist to debate about whether something happened or not. I didn't know that also meant i shouldn't mention them outside of their talk pages. Besides i didn't asked a single question about them in the Ask Vector Prime talk page anyway, i only said that the questions i want to ask to Vector Prime once he returns in an official way rather than [https://askvectorprime.tumblr.com/ an fan project] are if his assistant was killed before the Decepticons raided Chicago and if Dylan's body guards where murdered in Trump Tower before the battle of Chicago in Tyran 707.04 Delta. Beyond that, nothing, i didn't asked what happened to them there, just told what are the questions i want to ask him when he comes back. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 15:54, 20 March 2021 (EDT)

Cybertron Forever: /* Warning regarding your edits on the Dylan Gould-related pages */ i thought i should explain myself as to why i didn't know i wasn't allowed to mention them outside of their talk pages.

== Dylan Gould's pets ==

How many pets does Dylan Gould has? because in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], when the [[Chicago]] invasion began, he mentioned dogs in plural when he ordered their transfer to the back of his apartment in [[Trump Tower]], which means is more than one, and later when [[Carly Spencer|his prisioner]] was observing [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel]] through a telescope, it's possible to see two dogs, but i fear that he has more than just two, and more animal species beyond just dogs as pets. If anyone knows how many he has, just type it here the answer. Thanks! --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 10:15, 23 November 2020 (EST)
:I'm currently rewatching the film right now and I just wanted to let you know that from what I can see, Dylan only refers to them on-screen as "the dogs". I'll wait until the credits and see If I can find anything else that may make mention of them. If you're serious about making a page for them I think the most suitable name for the page would be '''Dylan Gould's Dogs'''. If you would like, I would be more than willing to start the page and the dog actor pages up with the information that we and Abates have found on them.

== Deletion of character pages. ==

Do not put character pages up for deletion because the same information is on a subgroup page. Subgroup pages are not made for character read ups, only for collective plot references. Subgroup pages are made to have as little information regarding the individuals as possible as the individual character pages are made for that purpose. As for the [[Twins (ROTF)|Twins]] page, there are still discussions on Discord being carried out on whether or not the page should exist. We admit that it is not very fair on the other users that aren't in the Discord server as the discussions can't be seen by them, but this is the only way we have been able to reply instantly and not have questions that would usually be made in discussion pages being left unanswered. Also, on a side note, please read talk pages on main articles before making any big edits, as there can sometimes be crucial information found there (ie: the Twins page discussion on only have their combined toys listed).

== Before you make any big changes... ==
Hello! I've noticed you taking on large projects and performing large edits. In general, before you carry out a task like that, please discuss it either on the [[Transformers Wiki talk:Community Portal|Community Portal]] or our [https://discord.com/channels/656241088826441729/656248887534944265 Discord page]. I highly recommend the Discord, since you can often talk with other editors in real time! Please do ''not'' make decisions to do large edits by using a particular user's talk page (such as abates or Fanofcoolstuff). That won't get you the consensus of other editors. Thank you! [[User:Prime Radiant|Prime Radiant]] ([[User talk:Prime Radiant|talk]]) 18:19, 17 January 2021 (EST)

==Changing image captions==
As per [[Transformers Wiki:Captions|our captions policy]], you should not be changing image captions written by other users (unless there is a community consensus that a joke is bad/offensive/etc.). Please do not keep changing the caption on the Dino article – consider this a formal warning on the matter. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 16:36, 28 January 2021 (EST)

==Talk page use==

:Okay, i won't do it again. In fact, every mistake i do that everyone talk to me about in my talk page i fix and stop repeating, Prime Radiant once told me to talk about big changes on the community portal, and now i'm doing that. Jalaguy, told me to not change the image captions made other users, so i'm not doing this anymore. Abates told me to not make small edits to complain no one has replied to me, so i'm not doing it.

== Some writing tips. ==

{{correctenglish}}
Hi there, first of all I wanted to say that your collaborations to the wiki are very appreciated, but please be a little more careful with your grammar and always proofread your edits before saving them. You frequently mispells the names of characters/movies/TV shows/etc and writes some of their initial letters in lowercase when they should be in uppercase. I also noticed that you sometimes try to translate by yourself the titles of movies and TV shows from their Brazilian titles back to English, when it would take you mere seconds to search the web for their actual original titles and use them instead. And one more tip, the correct spelling is always "a Brazilian" and never "an Brazilian".

Again, you're doing a fine job overall so please don't take this badly, I just want to help you improve your skills before your edits start to be reverted for not being up to standards.--[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 14:40, 19 February 2021 (EST)

== Regarding your edits on the Dylan Gould-related pages ==

Can you please stop on the undo-edits war? And as the others have said, you're reading a bit too much into it regarding Dylan. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 18:44, 24 February 2021 (EST)

:Sorry if i caused trouble by doing that but the thing is the edits that i've done on those pages are based on what i found out by reading the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|DOTM novelization]] and the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|IDW comic adaptation]], and i'm including them here so that they can be more complete. And the reason i'm doing this with them is because i HATE DYLAN GOULD! I hate him so much that just by looking at his face or his bodyguards or [[Dylan Gould's assistant|his assistant]] or [[Dylan Gould's watchdogs|his dogs]], i have the feeling that i gonna have an heart-attack. I only created his assistant's page so that i could create the page about [[Hotchkiss Gould Investments]], since i decided i would create it once the company's most known employees had their pages, and his assistant was the only one who didn't have-it at that time. And i asked about creating an article about his dogs since i couldn't help but to feel sorry for them, from being adopted by an evil human and to be traumatized by hearing the fire that killed all of his body guards in the attack at [[Trump Tower]] and surviving the onslaught just like how Dylan did. I know that what i said about his body guards dying in the slaughter sounds like speculation, but read the parts where i talked to Abates and Fanocoolstuff27 in [[User_talk:Abates#Human_Collaborators|their]] [[User_talk:Fanofcoolstuff27#Human_Collaborators|talk]] pages to learn more. And i'm still talking with them about it, in fact i found more evidences about that fact in the novelization and comic adaptation themselves and i'll tell this to them later. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 19:17, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::If you hate Dylan so much maybe you should consider not editing his page anymore. --[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 20:06, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::I want to stop, but first i need to include every single info about him and everything related to him that everyone here are still glossing over. Exemple: in the novel and comic adaptation Dylan ordered [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to execute the Autobot prisoners just because [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] destroyed his apartment. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 20:16, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::::That you want to add info to the wiki about Gould and his company is fine. In regards to you "hating" Gould, like Fritz said, you would be better off of not editing his page in the future, because those recent edits aren't contributing anything substantive to the wiki. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 20:26, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::::I will stop, i just need to make this edit about this detail in her page that his assistant was killed after the party where he revealed to [[Sam Witwicky]] that he works for the Decepticons, that in the novel and comic he ordered Soundwave to kill the prisoners because of what Bumblebee did to his apartment, and that his body guards died in the slaughter that occurred in Trump Tower and i'm done with it. His assistant's death is obvious since she is a human collaborator and in the movie [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] ordered them to kill all the collaborators in the moment set in africa, but his body guards' deaths is gonna be hard to convince, since almost everyone on this wiki don't believe that, only Renato, my parents, our friends from college before Renato and i got married and the members from our transformers' fan club do believe that, specially because they're the one who showed me evidences of their deaths in the novelization and IDW comic adaptation, so before i do those edits, i'll talk to Abates and Fanocoolstuff27 first. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 22:23, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::::::This is ''still'' just speculation. She doesn't appear any further in the film past the big reveal of working with the Decepticons. Please stop trying to convince us of speculative information that isn't displayed in any media. The wiping out of collaborators took place at the beginning-to-mid section of the film, Dylan Gould's revelation takes place in the mid-to-end section. There is absolutely no evidence that Dylan's workers were killed as part of Laserbeak/Soundwave/any other Decepticon's assassinations, nor Bumblebee's gun fire on the apartment. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 22:40, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::::::I'm not trying to convince anyone with theories, i'm telling what i know and learned. They were killed because they're collaborators and Megatron ordered them to '''''kill all of them''''', his assistant was probably killed after the party just happening off-screen and as i read in the answers to my questions in [[Talk:Hotchkiss Gould Investments|his company's talk page]] we can only include facts established onscreen, so i won't edit her page, but his body guards did died, because we saw them panicking when Bumblebee opened fire at the apartment and he did that because he felt that they should all pay for their crimes with their lives, besides as i'm saying a lot of times on Fanocoolstuff27 and Abates pages, besides that there is the superhero movie clichê where the villain and all of his henchmen are standing still, witnessing the hero escape after saving the one they love, and that happened in the film in the form of Dylan approaching the edge of his apartment after the fire was over and as we could see, no body guards where with him to see the Orbital Assault Carrier falling from the sky, nor they were with him when he approached [[35 East Wacker]] to inform about the Autobots' survival and didn't even shown their disgustingly ugly faces when Dylan ordered Soundwave to kill the prisoners. Last but no least, in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|''DOTM'' novelization]] Dylan survived the onslaught by throwing himself backward, hitting the floor on the opposite side of the living room from where the fire was occuring, and at the time Bumblebee opened fire, everyone inside Trump Tower where on the room that was obliterated by the guns' bullets (that's the evidence that confirms the deaths of his bodyguards that comes from the novelization that i mentioned before. I was going ti write this in Abates and Fanocoolstuff27's talk pages, but because of what he wrote to answer me, i decided to do it here). Fanocoolstuff27, if you're reading this and think that what my last is all invented by me, go read the novel and you'll see that it's written like this quote: 'The guns aboard the fighter plane cut loose, strafing the penthouse apartment, blasting Laserbeak against the wall. Dylan threw himself backward, hitting the floor on the opposite side of the living room from Carly. He let out a scream and cowered behind a Louis XIV chair. The guns stopped firing. Carly, sensing her moment, jumped to her feet and bolted for the balcony.' If you still don't believe i don't care, because the ugly truth is: His assistant and body guards weren't supposed to exist in the movie, since in the earlier versions of the movie's script, which is can be read and seen in all [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|of]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel|it's]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|adaptation]] material, they don't even exist, meaning that by the time he revealed to Sam that he works for the Decepticons, Dylan is the only collaborator to still be alive. They only exist in the movie because [[Michael Bay]] wanted that way and he does whatever he wants when he's directing a blockbuster movie. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 18:53, 26 February 2021 (EST)

::::::::Unless you can show us actual text that says that these people were killed, or actual footage from the movie showing it, or another character in the movie saying specifically that these people were killed, then you cannot say that they were killed. Anything else is just your speculation. They may have been killed. Or they may have run off to Costa Rica and opened an ice cream parlor. We don't know. We can't say. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 22:35, 26 February 2021 (EST)
:That's what i tried to explain Khajidha, they may have been killed off screen, the last time his assistant appeared was while Dylan asked "You why we didn't returned to the moon after 1972?", and the last time his bodyguards appearead was right when 'Bee opened fire at the apartment, but because of what what in those scenes and no one in the film asking what happened to them (which i think was good because i hate his assistant and bodyguards too) then there fates are up to interpretation, which means you like me can think they died while others can think they're alive since none of them are wrong. Despite DOTM being my favorite movie of all 5 movies that Michael Bay directed (even being better than the [[Transformers (film)|first]]), i think that Bay jumped the shark when he decided to include these guys and make leave their fates the way it was shown, as this is causing this trouble to the wiki that i began in [[Calendar|December]] of last year with this heated conversation that's taking months and people claiming "its a theory" or "it's fanfiction" or what the [[Slag (slang)|slag]] anyone here want to say. In the end i think it's better their fates to be up to [[Fandom|one's]] [[Personal canon]], and i think they shouldn't have never appeared in first place, which is something that the original version of the script did well, (it can be seen and read in the novels and comic adaptation). --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 23:26, 26 February 2021 (EST)
::"May have been" = your speculation. Such speculation does not belong on the page. You can believe that they died, but you must not write anything about that here. Your beliefs are just that, your beliefs. The only thing causing trouble here is you trying to put your beliefs in the articles as if they were facts. When you write about what happens in the movie, you should write only what is shown in the movie. If that means that some characters don't have resolutions to their story, that's fine. Write what they were shown to do and stop writing when you get to the last thing they were shown to do. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 23:33, 26 February 2021 (EST)

== Warning regarding your edits on the Dylan Gould-related pages ==
Consider this a second formal warning. Please stop trying to force your speculation into ''any'' pages involving Dylan Gould, or you will be temporarily blocked from editing. You have been told multiple times by both other editors and some of the admin to stop doing so. Do '''not''' make any more edits regarding Dylan Gould, or his watchdogs, or his assistants, or on ''any other'' pages that even mentions Dylan Gould. Speculation is speculation, and the wiki can not accept anything that is speculation - the wiki only accepts official materials and interviews that can be cited.

As Prime Radiant pointed out, your help with the Brazilian voice actors is much more appreciated. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 07:31, 1 March 2021 (EST)

:I know about that, and i'll stop doing that, but first i want to know, who called him to talk to him on his phone when he arrived at his apartment in Trump Tower? Because he told to the caller that he could see Megatron coming, and it was because of him answering the call that Dutch managed to hack into his phone and track him down. I know you told me to not use talk pages to ask about questions, but that is killing me out of curiosity and not even Renato knows the answer. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 11:13, 1 March 2021 (EST)

:Since the day you guys threaten to block me if i did it again, i stopped editing those pages and moved on. In fact, the last time i edited those pages was almost one month ago. I haven't edited them ever since then. In the [[Ask Vector Prime]] [[Talk:Ask Vector Prime|talk page]], i just said that i i was disapointed to find out that that the Tumblr version is fanmade because i wanted to ask him those questions for him to answer, so i just said that i'll wait until his "official" return so that i can ask him. I know i inserted the links to their pages on my reply, but i did that because i like to add links to articles when i'm talking to anyone about something here on the Wiki. Besides, i only mentioned them, nothing else. In other words, when said i wasn't going to do it again, i made a promise, and when i make one, i keep it. And [[User:Riptide|Riptide]] blocked me just because i mentioned them. Am i also forbidden to mention them in talk pages? Because i feel this the "real" reason why she (or he) blocked me!

:::Well, then i guess i really diseverd that. However, nobody told me that i wasn't allowed to menton Dylan and/or his dogs or his assistant (you guys should stop writting assistant in plural because he has only one in the film) or his bodyguards or anyone and/or anything related to him outside of their talk pages, the ''only'' thing you guys told me was to not edit those pages. That was the only thing you said about it, nothing else, if you didn't wanted me to mention them outside of their talk pages, then you should have told me about it, so would be more careful to not mention them in in my replies on the Ask Vector Prime talk page yesterday. Since as said before, i never break any promises that i make, and i made a promise when i said i would stop doing it. This time, however, i accidently broke my promise because i did something i wasn't allowed without knowing that i wasn't allowed to do, since you all ommited it from me.

Yes, i read his post above, but i've only understood that i should ask questions about him at fan forums, since they exist to debate about whether something happened or not. I didn't know that also meant i shouldn't mention them outside of their talk pages. Besides i didn't asked a single question about them in the Ask Vector Prime talk page anyway, i only said that the questions i want to ask to Vector Prime once he returns in an official way rather than [https://askvectorprime.tumblr.com/ an fan project] are if his assistant was killed before the Decepticons raided Chicago and if Dylan's body guards where murdered in Trump Tower before the battle of Chicago in Tyran 707.04 Delta. Beyond that, nothing i did'nt asked what happened to them there, just told what are the questions i want to ask him when he comes back. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 15:54, 20 March 2021 (EDT)

== Dylan Gould's pets ==

How many pets does Dylan Gould has? because in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], when the [[Chicago]] invasion began, he mentioned dogs in plural when he ordered their transfer to the back of his apartment in [[Trump Tower]], which means is more than one, and later when [[Carly Spencer|his prisioner]] was observing [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel]] through a telescope, it's possible to see two dogs, but i fear that he has more than just two, and more animal species beyond just dogs as pets. If anyone knows how many he has, just type it here the answer. Thanks! --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 10:15, 23 November 2020 (EST)
:I'm currently rewatching the film right now and I just wanted to let you know that from what I can see, Dylan only refers to them on-screen as "the dogs". I'll wait until the credits and see If I can find anything else that may make mention of them. If you're serious about making a page for them I think the most suitable name for the page would be '''Dylan Gould's Dogs'''. If you would like, I would be more than willing to start the page and the dog actor pages up with the information that we and Abates have found on them.

== Deletion of character pages. ==

Do not put character pages up for deletion because the same information is on a subgroup page. Subgroup pages are not made for character read ups, only for collective plot references. Subgroup pages are made to have as little information regarding the individuals as possible as the individual character pages are made for that purpose. As for the [[Twins (ROTF)|Twins]] page, there are still discussions on Discord being carried out on whether or not the page should exist. We admit that it is not very fair on the other users that aren't in the Discord server as the discussions can't be seen by them, but this is the only way we have been able to reply instantly and not have questions that would usually be made in discussion pages being left unanswered. Also, on a side note, please read talk pages on main articles before making any big edits, as there can sometimes be crucial information found there (ie: the Twins page discussion on only have their combined toys listed).

So if i'm saying i won't use talk pages to start discussions my theories, than i won't do it never again. You have my word. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 23:15, 11 February 2021 (EST)

== Some writing tips. ==

{{correctenglish}}
Hi there, first of all I wanted to say that your collaborations to the wiki are very appreciated, but please be a little more careful with your grammar and always proofread your edits before saving them. You frequently mispells the names of characters/movies/TV shows/etc and writes some of their initial letters in lowercase when they should be in uppercase. I also noticed that you sometimes try to translate by yourself the titles of movies and TV shows from their Brazilian titles back to English, when it would take you mere seconds to search the web for their actual original titles and use them instead. And one more tip, the correct spelling is always "a Brazilian" and never "an Brazilian".

Again, you're doing a fine job overall so please don't take this badly, I just want to help you improve your skills before your edits start to be reverted for not being up to standards.--[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 14:40, 19 February 2021 (EST)

== Regarding your edits on the Dylan Gould-related pages ==

Can you please stop on the undo-edits war? And as the others have said, you're reading a bit too much into it regarding Dylan. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 18:44, 24 February 2021 (EST)

:Sorry if i caused trouble by doing that but the thing is the edits that i've done on those pages are based on what i found out by reading the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|DOTM novelization]] and the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|IDW comic adaptation]], and i'm including them here so that they can be more complete. And the reason i'm doing this with them is because i HATE DYLAN GOULD! I hate him so much that just by looking at his face or his bodyguards or [[Dylan Gould's assistant|his assistant]] or [[Dylan Gould's watchdogs|his dogs]], i have the feeling that i gonna have an heart-attack. I only created his assistant's page so that i could create the page about [[Hotchkiss Gould Investments]], since i decided i would create it once the company's most known employees had their pages, and his assistant was the only one who didn't have-it at that time. And i asked about creating an article about his dogs since i couldn't help but to feel sorry for them, from being adopted by an evil human and to be traumatized by hearing the fire that killed all of his body guards in the attack at [[Trump Tower]] and surviving the onslaught just like how Dylan did. I know that what i said about his body guards dying in the slaughter sounds like speculation, but read the parts where i talked to Abates and Fanocoolstuff27 in [[User_talk:Abates#Human_Collaborators|their]] [[User_talk:Fanofcoolstuff27#Human_Collaborators|talk]] pages to learn more. And i'm still talking with them about it, in fact i found more evidences about that fact in the novelization and comic adaptation themselves and i'll tell this to them later. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 19:17, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::If you hate Dylan so much maybe you should consider not editing his page anymore. --[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 20:06, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::I want to stop, but first i need to include every single info about him and everything related to him that everyone here are still glossing over. Exemple: in the novel and comic adaptation Dylan ordered [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to execute the Autobot prisoners just because [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] destroyed his apartment. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 20:16, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::::That you want to add info to the wiki about Gould and his company is fine. In regards to you "hating" Gould, like Fritz said, you would be better off of not editing his page in the future, because those recent edits aren't contributing anything substantive to the wiki. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 20:26, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::::I will stop, i just need to make this edit about this detail in her page that his assistant was killed after the party where he revealed to [[Sam Witwicky]] that he works for the Decepticons, that in the novel and comic he ordered Soundwave to kill the prisoners because of what Bumblebee did to his apartment, and that his body guards died in the slaughter that occurred in Trump Tower and i'm done with it. His assistant's death is obvious since she is a human collaborator and in the movie [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] ordered them to kill all the collaborators in the moment set in africa, but his body guards' deaths is gonna be hard to convince, since almost everyone on this wiki don't believe that, only Renato, my parents, our friends from college before Renato and i got married and the members from our transformers' fan club do believe that, specially because they're the one who showed me evidences of their deaths in the novelization and IDW comic adaptation, so before i do those edits, i'll talk to Abates and Fanocoolstuff27 first. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 22:23, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::::::This is ''still'' just speculation. She doesn't appear any further in the film past the big reveal of working with the Decepticons. Please stop trying to convince us of speculative information that isn't displayed in any media. The wiping out of collaborators took place at the beginning-to-mid section of the film, Dylan Gould's revelation takes place in the mid-to-end section. There is absolutely no evidence that Dylan's workers were killed as part of Laserbeak/Soundwave/any other Decepticon's assassinations, nor Bumblebee's gun fire on the apartment. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 22:40, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::::::I'm not trying to convince anyone with theories, i'm telling what i know and learned. They were killed because they're collaborators and Megatron ordered them to '''''kill all of them''''', his assistant was probably killed after the party just happening off-screen and as i read in the answers to my questions in [[Talk:Hotchkiss Gould Investments|his company's talk page]] we can only include facts established onscreen, so i won't edit her page, but his body guards did died, because we saw them panicking when Bumblebee opened fire at the apartment and he did that because he felt that they should all pay for their crimes with their lives, besides as i'm saying a lot of times on Fanocoolstuff27 and Abates pages, besides that there is the superhero movie clichê where the villain and all of his henchmen are standing still, witnessing the hero escape after saving the one they love, and that happened in the film in the form of Dylan approaching the edge of his apartment after the fire was over and as we could see, no body guards where with him to see the Orbital Assault Carrier falling from the sky, nor they were with him when he approached [[35 East Wacker]] to inform about the Autobots' survival and didn't even shown their disgustingly ugly faces when Dylan ordered Soundwave to kill the prisoners. Last but no least, in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|''DOTM'' novelization]] Dylan survived the onslaught by throwing himself backward, hitting the floor on the opposite side of the living room from where the fire was occuring, and at the time Bumblebee opened fire, everyone inside Trump Tower where on the room that was obliterated by the guns' bullets (that's the evidence that confirms the deaths of his bodyguards that comes from the novelization that i mentioned before. I was going ti write this in Abates and Fanocoolstuff27's talk pages, but because of what he wrote to answer me, i decided to do it here). Fanocoolstuff27, if you're reading this and think that what my last is all invented by me, go read the novel and you'll see that it's written like this quote: 'The guns aboard the fighter plane cut loose, strafing the penthouse apartment, blasting Laserbeak against the wall. Dylan threw himself backward, hitting the floor on the opposite side of the living room from Carly. He let out a scream and cowered behind a Louis XIV chair. The guns stopped firing. Carly, sensing her moment, jumped to her feet and bolted for the balcony.' If you still don't believe i don't care, because the ugly truth is: His assistant and body guards weren't supposed to exist in the movie, since in the earlier versions of the movie's script, which is can be read and seen in all [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|of]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel|it's]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|adaptation]] material, they don't even exist, meaning that by the time he revealed to Sam that he works for the Decepticons, Dylan is the only collaborator to still be alive. They only exist in the movie because [[Michael Bay]] wanted that way and he does whatever he wants when he's directing a blockbuster movie. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 18:53, 26 February 2021 (EST)

::::::::Unless you can show us actual text that says that these people were killed, or actual footage from the movie showing it, or another character in the movie saying specifically that these people were killed, then you cannot say that they were killed. Anything else is just your speculation. They may have been killed. Or they may have run off to Costa Rica and opened an ice cream parlor. We don't know. We can't say. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 22:35, 26 February 2021 (EST)
:That's what i tried to explain Khajidha, they may have been killed off screen, the last time his assistant appeared was while Dylan asked "You why we didn't returned to the moon after 1972?", and the last time his bodyguards appearead was right when 'Bee opened fire at the apartment, but because of what what in those scenes and no one in the film asking what happened to them (which i think was good because i hate his assistant and bodyguards too) then there fates are up to interpretation, which means you like me can think they died while others can think they're alive since none of them are wrong. Despite DOTM being my favorite movie of all 5 movies that Michael Bay directed (even being better than the [[Transformers (film)|first]]), i think that Bay jumped the shark when he decided to include these guys and make leave their fates the way it was shown, as this is causing this trouble to the wiki that i began in [[Calendar|December]] of last year with this heated conversation that's taking months and people claiming "its a theory" or "it's fanfiction" or what the [[Slag (slang)|slag]] anyone here want to say. In the end i think it's better their fates to be up to [[Fandom|one's]] [[Personal canon]], and i think they shouldn't have never appeared in first place, which is something that the original version of the script did well, (it can be seen and read in the novels and comic adaptation). --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 23:26, 26 February 2021 (EST)
::"May have been" = your speculation. Such speculation does not belong on the page. You can believe that they died, but you must not write anything about that here. Your beliefs are just that, your beliefs. The only thing causing trouble here is you trying to put your beliefs in the articles as if they were facts. When you write about what happens in the movie, you should write only what is shown in the movie. If that means that some characters don't have resolutions to their story, that's fine. Write what they were shown to do and stop writing when you get to the last thing they were shown to do. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 23:33, 26 February 2021 (EST)

Speculation is speculation, and the wiki can not accept anything that is speculation - the wiki only accepts official materials and interviews that can be cited.

Because he told to the caller that he could see Megatron coming, and it was because of him answering the call that Dutch managed to hack into his phone and track him down.

I know i inserted the links to their pages on my reply, but i did that because i like to add links to articles when i'm talking to anyone about something here on the Wiki. Besides, i only mentioned them, nothing else. In other words, when said i wasn't going to do it again, i made a promise, and when i make one, i keep it. And [[User:Riptide|Riptide]] blocked me just because i mentioned them. Am i also forbid to mention them in talk pages? Because i feel this the "real" reason why she (or he) blocked me!

Cybertron Forever: /* Ask Vector Prime on Tumblr */ i thought that Ask Vector Prime did returned, but its a fan project so not official. Sorry guys!

There is also precedent for Transformers to be aware of fictionalized accounts of their adventures, and to comment on them. I'm thinking of the UK letter column. Should we expand the last bit to account for that? [[User:Chip|Chip]] 00:36, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

D'oh. How'd I manage to get all the way through this thing and not remember to put in a link? --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 01:01, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Just an idea here, but do you think it would be a good idea to put everything established via vector prime (characters, pieces of fiction, etc.) in a category of some sort?[[User:Transfan 1992|Transfan 1992]] ([[User talk:Transfan 1992|talk]]) 19:24, 12 August 2015 (EDT)

== "Mentioned Characters" section ==

I'm thinking of adding a "Mentioned Characters" section to this page, as is the norm for our articles on Facebook-based "blog" type entries. The only reason I hesitate doing so is because, well, it would be enormous. I don't mind the amound of work I'd have to put in for it, I just want to make sure nobody would get opposed to the idea of the section's inclusion to the article before I do spend all that time making it. So, if anyone wants to argue against the inclusion of a "Mentioned Characters" section, now's your chance. Clarification: I'm planning to make a "Featured/Mentioned Characters" sub-section for each section on the page (Hasbro Website, AllSpark Almanacs, Facebook, Guest Columns...) --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 15:22, 22 October 2015 (EDT)
:I'm not sure. It feels like a bad fit somehow. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 15:29, 22 October 2015 (EDT)
:Not really worth it. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 15:33, 22 October 2015 (EDT)
::That it would be so enormous is one of the reasons why there isn't a "Featured Characters" section for the G1 cartoon article, so the same would probably go for here as well. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 15:34, 22 October 2015 (EDT)

:::::I like your idea, Ascendron, but as with others I think the list would be too long. Perhaps such a list should get its own page? Or maybe you can make list of strictly AVP-original characters or characters (like some GoBots) making proper debuts in ''Transformers'' fiction via AVP. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D.

::::::I'd rather make it its own page than have a list that would be incomplete. Especially since the it would include the order in which the characters appeared in, which would just get confusing. If I go through with this, I'll create a sandbox of some sort first, and continue asking for feedback from the rest of the wiki. (And as Giggidy, points out, it would open a few options for some funny stuff. Like saying it'd probably be easier to name every character that hasn't appeared in the column, or something like that.) --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 17:51, 22 October 2015 (EDT)

Cybertron Forever: I did this because he is from Brazil, and i wanted to make an homage to his home country, just like in Jorge Figueroa's page, but you can undo if you want.

[[Image:Santos-tlk-image.jpeg|right|250px|thumb|]]

A queda do [[Cemetery Wind|Vento do Cemitério]] não consertou todos os problemas para os Autobots automáticamente. Isso fica bem óbvio na forma do comandante da [[Transformers Reaction Force|T.R.F.]] '''Santos'''. Apesar de não possuir o menosprezo por vidas inocentes que definiu os antecessores da TRF, Santos ainda sim carrega o sentimento de que todos os transformers são uma ameaça que precisa ser destruída. Ele viu muitas almas boas serem mortas nas inúmeras batalhas dos Transformers na [[Earth|Terra]], e não vai parar em nada para evitar que mais vidas sejam perdidas. É esse desejo de proteger os inocentes que sugere que há um pouco de esperança para que Santos possa ver a luz do desejo se tornar realidade algum dia, mas por enquanto, ele vê cada Transformer que encontra com uma arma. E vai retaliar na hora porquê todos os [[Brazil|Brasileiros]] são assim.

Santos led the TRF on a mission to [[Chicago]] when drones detected Transformers there. He encountered [[Cade Yeager]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], but was prevented from apprehending them by three factors: Bumblebee went on a reassembling spree and injured many of his men, [[William Lennox]] encouraged him to stand down, and [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] arrived and threatened them with his Gatling gun. Santos had to retreat for the day. He later followed [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s Decepticon team into another mission to Cade Yeager's junkyard and pursued the Autobots when they beat it out of there. His TRF forces surrounded the abandoned city Cade was using as refuge. He controlled a fleet of drones which Cade had a heck of a time avoiding, but was forced into another retreat when the mother drone was destroyed by Cade. He then led a squad of TRF troops and pursued the [[HMS Alliance|HMS ''Alliance'']], which was being captained by Cade and [[Viviane Wembly]]. Arriving at the ancient Cybertronian ship, Santos's submarine was forced to use a narrow, perilous tube for entry after the gate closed behind Cade. He managed to make it in and engaged [[Skullitron|a knight]] who threatened Cade and Viviane. He then tried to convince Viviane to hand over the [[Staff of Merlin]], only for her to turn the tables on them when she revealed she was the only one who could use it. Santos had to stand down. He rendezvoused with the rest of the TRF when the ship broke the ocean surface and was provided with Ospreys to reach the [[ignition chamber]]. He boarded the same plane as Lennox, Cade, and Viviane (and unknowingly [[Izabella]] and [[Sqweeks]]) and had a talk with Cade. Realizing that his belief about all Cybertronians being enemies was wrong, Santos and his troops removed the TRF badges from their uniforms and threw them to the floor. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

Something I've noticed when I'd pop in every once in awhile when checking the Recent Changes/User Creation Log is that once a new user account has been created, there's no activity. Granted, some have been blocked for various reasons (mostly the autoblocks), but I wonder whether there should be anything done to the others (aside of just leaving them alone). Like, delete the username after a certain period of no activity, or would that affect the IP address? I'm reminded of how one user had a history of creating and then camping subreddits, which was against Reddit's TOS. -- [[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 00:12, 7 January 2020 (EST)

== Minor skin tweak ==

The latest version of Firefox was making the scrollbars look funky and blue on our site, so I have put some css in to fix them. Hopefully this should not affect any other browsers, but please let me know if you're using Chrome or IE7 or something and it is causing a problem. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 20:20, 8 January 2020 (EST)

== 2007 Movie Universe and 2018 Movie Universe ==

Since Bumblebee is officially a reboot, will we be separating the sections on the movies similar to what has been recently done with the IDW 2005 and 2019 sections? --[[User:Waspscream|Waspscream]] ([[User talk:Waspscream|talk]]) 21:36, 16 January 2020 (EST)
: No, because we don't know it's a proper reboot yet, so we have no reason to do so. This has been discussed at length already. [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Bumblebee|Please read this.]] -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:05, 16 January 2020 (EST)

== Prime Wars Placement ==

I'm probably being an idiot and there's a perfectly valid reason for it, but why aren't the Prime Wars Trilogy bios placed in character's G1 Cartoon sections? Is it the slight IDW influence, or not enough evidence that they belong there? --[[User:Waspscream|Waspscream]] ([[User talk:Waspscream|talk]]) 23:16, 26 January 2020 (EST)
:The Prime Wars Trilogy is a completely separate continuity from the G1 cartoon. The G1 Cartoon sections are for information detailing a character's exploits in continuities tied directly or nearly directly to that 1984-1987 animated series produced by Marvel Productions and Sunbow Productions, which the Prime Wars Trilogy has no connection to and therefore gets it own separate section on each character's page. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 23:25, 26 January 2020 (EST)
::I could agree to that back when Combiner Wars was out, but by the time of Power Of The Primes, there were a lot of additions, such as Megatron once having been Galvatron and Unicron stuck as a head, that seem to attempt to connect it to the cartoon. At the very least, it's somewhat tied to the cartoon, even with many incongruities. -- [[User:Waspscream|Waspscream]] ([[User talk:Waspscream|talk]]) 16:20, 27 January 2020 (EST)
:::It's really not. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:41, 27 January 2020 (EST)
:::"Things are referencing the first really huge piece of popular media most people are familiar with" is not exactly slam-dunk proof of "actually part of the same timeline". --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 21:13, 27 January 2020 (EST)
:::: Admittedly, I didn't explain my opinions very well, but while Megatron being Galvatron is common, the use of it here seems like an attempt to reconcile the series as somewhat connected to the G1 cartoon, on a similar level to Beast Wars, I guess. There were other examples, that was just the first that came to mind. There isn't really any true proof for it, so I guess I'll leave it at that. I guess the entire thing is in a grey area free for personal interpretation of where it could belong. I'm kinda new around here, and I'm not trying to start an argument, just get some clarification about what belongs where. -- [[User:Waspscream|Waspscream]] ([[User talk:Waspscream|talk]]) 21:38, 27 January 2020 (EST)
:::::Power of the Primes also hinted that when Unicron turned Megatron into Galvatron, it was by the power of the Matrix of Chaos, a device that did not exist in the G1 cartoon and thus which was not used by Unicron to turn Megatron into Galvatron in the 1986 movie. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 00:39, 28 January 2020 (EST)
::::::And that Unicron was destroyed in ancient times by the Requiem Blaster, a thing that very much did not happen in the original cartoon. (And for the record, we don't treat Beast Wars as a direct cartoon followup either since it blends elements from both Marvel and Sunbow.) -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 00:57, 28 January 2020 (EST)
::::::: I am aware of that. -- [[User:Waspscream|Waspscream]] ([[User talk:Waspscream|talk]]) 22:13, 29 January 2020 (EST)
:::::::Given the prominence of the G1 cartoon, it is not surprising that so many later stories make reference to it or homage it. But that's all that this is, referencing and homages. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 08:13, 28 January 2020 (EST)

== Franchise pages ==

I wanted to float an idea regarding our franchise pages. They're typically pretty sparse and some which aren't are just plain paragraphs of text with lists. What do people think about formatting the franchise pages more like the main page? I've made an [[User:Abates/Franchise sandbox|example sandbox]]. I used Rescue Bots Academy as an example, since we currently have it linked on the sidebar, so there's boxes for the cartoon, toyline, major characters, and a featured article (which I think would be best as a random article rather than manually being changed each month). --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:46, 20 March 2020 (EDT)
:I like this a LOT. That said, how would this template handle pages with way more information like Beast Wars? Also, a suggestion made on the Discord was for the featured article to change between premade selections similar to the [[Main Page/disambig|main page disambiguation template]] or [[multilingual packaging]]. Would that be worth exploring? -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:34, 20 March 2020 (EDT)
::That was my thinking as to how the featured article section would work. As for something like Beast Wars, probably everything below, say, "A dramatic change" could stay as is. The idea is to present the main info in a more appealing manner, but there's nothing to say we couldn't have more conventional sections further down. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 21:39, 20 March 2020 (EDT)

== Source namespace ==

We currently have a bunch of source documents which have names like "Angry Birds Transformers bios/src". It's possible to create a Source namespace so instead they would be at names like "Source:Angry Birds Transformers bios".

Advantages: Everything that's an official document would be all in one namespace, searchable independently of mainspace articles.<br />
Disadvantages: We wouldn't be able to have a namespace article with a title starting "Source:", but I think it's unlikely to be an issue. We have [[Source]] which is a redirect, but I don't believe it would be affected.

What does everyone think? --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:32, 26 April 2020 (EDT)
:Makes sense to me. There's a lot of online-only text that's disappeared from official websites (Legends card game, Robotmasters, Cloud, lots of bios, etc.) Preserving this stuff would help in the future. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 19:38, 26 April 2020 (EDT)
::I'm in agreement. I think the pros heavily outweigh the cons, and I'm sure we can find a workaround if there's a story title that starts with "Source" down the line. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19:57, 26 April 2020 (EDT)
:::If there aren't any objections then, I'll get it set up! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 01:55, 27 April 2020 (EDT)

== Should we add a category for "Toy of the Year" winners of the Hall of fame? ==

Seeing that we already have categories for "Hall of Fame characters," and "Hall of Fame creators," we probably should make a category for the "Toy(s) of the Year(s)." Just my opinion. [[User:DDog|DDog]] ([[User talk:DDog|talk]]) 17:03, 1 May 2020 (EDT)

== Minor edits ==

I just wanted to post a reminder about minor edits, because I've seen people mark edits as minor which I don't think should be considered minor. Minor edits are things like spelling and grammar corrections, formatting corrections, and the like. If you're adding an entire sentence to an article or a whole new note, it shouldn't be marked minor. We've got a brief section on this here: [[Help:Style guide#Minor and major edits]]. I'm not looking to single anyone out, just post a reminder because it seems to be more common recently. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:09, 3 May 2020 (EDT)

=="Japanese ID number"==
I dunno if "uncomfortable" is the right word, but "Japanese ID number" feels off for a variety of reasons, including these toys not being sold ONLY in Japan. I'm increasingly thinking there's a better option for this info in the toy entries.
*For entries that cover both the Hasbro and Takara versions, "Takara ID number" works better. (Conversely, those handful of Hasbro toys w/ numbers, "Hasbro ID number")
*For entries about toys ONLY released in Takara lines, just plain old "ID number" should suffice.
I realize this is... a buttload of changes across the wiki, and not a top priority or anything, but maybe something folks can pick up here and there while making other edits in the relevant sections. Thoughts? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 00:50, 5 May 2020 (EDT)

== Do Euro-Classics get their own listing or not? ==
We are currently very inconsistent on whether [[Classics (Europe)]] counts as a G1 toy release as distinct as a Targetmaster or Pretender upgrade. Look at [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys]] and [[Prowl (G1)/toys]] and compare to [[Sludge (G1)]] or [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys]]. I think they should all be listed distinctly - that the Sunstreaker approach is right. Is there any reason why we wouldn't do this? --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 20:26, 5 May 2020 (EDT)
:I think it's just that no one has bothered to do it. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 21:07, 5 May 2020 (EDT)
::Pretty much. A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of old stuff on this wiki -particularly the toy entries- needs to be dusted off and looked at and brought up to modern standards/consistency. But that's a pretty dang involved process and while it seems many of us have more spare time now, it's still... a kinda draining, droning way to spend it. (I've been tackling BW but hoofta, it's a lot.) --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 00:01, 6 May 2020 (EDT)

== TF Car Robots concept materials? ==
Z226_JUPITER on [https://twitter.com/Z226_JUPITER Twitter] had been tweeting several behind-the-scenes stuff on ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Car Robots]]'', namely design notes, storyboards, and [https://twitter.com/Z226_JUPITER/status/1258406704334532614 height chart], like how the Almanacs were for Animated. One of the more recent [https://twitter.com/Z226_JUPITER/status/1260473367192317955 tweets] noted a possible 176-page book being released, as well a PDF version. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone here who's fluent in Japanese to be able to better ask Z226_JUPITER about it, much less how a copy could be obtained to further supplement the wiki here for non-Japanese readers. One thing is that I don't know if this is something like a fan-release thing or something OKed by Takara, given how there have been the occasional official doujinshi/fan-supplemented materials green-lit by companies. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 17:42, 14 May 2020 (EDT)
:I've crossposted this to the Discord server and one of our Japanese speaking users there (Star-Spangled Sam) volunteered to look into it. Abates and I looked at it a bit too, and found that Z226_Jupiter has a link in his Twitter profile to his works on booth.pm. That site appears to be a place for self publishing fan works and related to Pixiv, a Japanese site which is similar to DeviantArt. The book can be purchased from that site. As for whether it has any approval from TakaraTomy, that's unclear so far. The description when run through Google Translate reads like the speaker is not affilated with TT (which makes sense given this is a fanwork) but beyond that there's no indication. We're waiting to see what Sam comes up with. --[[User:Tigerpaw28|Tigerpaw28]] ([[User talk:Tigerpaw28|talk]]) 14:34, 3 June 2020 (EDT)

== New bot proposal ==
After some discussion on the Discord about the need for a new bot and having been thinking about writing one for awhile now, I've put together a proposal for how a new bot would work, and what kinds of things it might likely do. This done with the idea that [[User:Deceptitran|Deceptitran]]'s functionality would need to be replaced, given [[User:Derik|Derik]]'s infrequent appearances these days and no else having access to run Deceptitran. There's also a distinct possibility Deceptitran isn't functional at the moment as the URL for the Emopanda site Derik was using for hosting things externally (I presume this includes Deceptitran) is abandoned.

The way I see it, the bot could run a number of recurring tasks at different intervals, plus any one time "on demand" requests from Wiki editors/staff. Requests would made by editing a subpage of the bot's user page and filling out a template. This would be much the same as link fix requests worked with Deceptitran.

Every 15-30 minutes, the bot would check it's user page for new "on demand"/"editor generated" requests and process them.
For these requests, I see two levels of approval they could go through: 1. Request approval and 2. Result approval. The former would be approval of the request before any processing occurs. The latter would be approval of the results of a request before the bot actually makes any changes on the Wiki.

I think the first level of approval could be handled by checking Wiki rights/permission of the requesting user. A bot request approval permission could be created and assigned to any trusted non-mod or Admin user. Then only requests from those users, mods and admins would be processed. This would prevent anons and other untrusted accounts from using the bot for nefarious purposes without requiring active moderation of the request submissions by a human.

Result approvals would be to prevent the bot from making tons of errant changes. Someone would have to manually go through the list of changes proposed by the bot to see if anything looks wrong. To limit the amount of time we have to spend looking over stuff like this, I think it would make sense to make this a requirement only for requests that would produce a minimum (10? 20?) number of changes. This limit could be gradually increased as we become more confident in the bot's logic.

Verification of these changes would be done by logging into a site running on my hosting service, same as the bot would be. As for who would do it, I am willing to do it and/or we could set it up for any mods/admins that would like to. I've also thought about the possibility of having email notifications for when a request needs to be reviewed.

I've come up with the following ideas for what kinds of tasks could be done on demand:
::Link fixing
::Category tagging/untagging
::Section reordering by header level
::Mass page moving

In addition to the recurring on demand processing job, I've come up with some other recurring jobs that I think might be beneficial:

::At least once a day:
:::Page deletion
:::Welcoming users (placing the welcome template on their talkpage)
:::Fix redirects

::Daily:
:::Remove stale dated templates

I'm open to any other ideas on what tasks we'd like to have the bot perform. I'd also like to hear some thoughts on which tasks should get added as functionality first.

==G2 Go-Bots mold templates==
Hey y'all, I just knocked out a set of mold templates for the original six G2 Go-Bot toolings, I think I've gotten everything consistent as far as how to refer to stuff, but it's a little idiosyncratic because unlike say, the CW limb guys, you've got a case where Motormouth was released in two slightly different but clearly distinct plastic colors (clear vs opaque) and then RID Ironhide/CR Ox had multiple different uses of the tooling in different colorways, all intended to be the same character, which I'm struggling to think of a comparable situation. If someone else wants to go over the nomeclature I used (especially for the various store exclusive redecos) be my guest.

If I'm feeling REALLY masochistic, I might try to do a template like this for the Armada Mini-Con toolings, which are probably ''Classics'' Seeker level of reused. '''EDIT TO ADD:''' If I were to do the UT Mini-Cons, would the mold templates use the names the toys were sold under (e.g. "X-Dimension Sail") or the names that were retroactively applied by Ask Vector Prime? I'm inclined towards the former and to not even mention the retronyms, because otherwise the box gets really cluttered. I sort of flirted with this with 2003 Universe Camshaft and Hoist, who were just straight reissues of KB W.A.R.S. and Ironhide, but at least they were available on shelves under those names. I didn't bother with the Prowl and Ironhide that were retroactively "declared" to be Red Alert and Trailbreaker because who cares, lol. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] ([[User talk:Hooper X|talk]]) 14:44, 10 July 2020 (EDT)
:Mold templates are indeed geared to names of toys themselves. As you point out, a Japanese-exclusive toy should not use an English retronym. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 15:37, 10 July 2020 (EDT)

== World of Warships article? ==
When Warships first announced this back in August, I was laughing so hard at the reactions. I'm a bit surprised to not see even a stub article about it.

--[[User:Primestar3|Primestar3]] ([[User talk:Primestar3|talk]]) 18:47, 18 September 2020 (EDT)
:First two are for sure good, as they were produced for Hasbro (and are even mirrored on the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVnDLnA9mro Transformers YouTube channel]). I'm hesitant at best about HISHE and Lumaken, and absolutely against Pewdiepie's. Also, if we were to document all "approved" videos, we'd have to include every video where Hasbro ever sent an outlet or YouTuber a product for review, and that would be tantamount to lunacy because of just how many videos that would include. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19:18, 18 September 2020 (EDT)
::I think in regards to reviewers, they can get individual pages and have their approved videos be listed on those pages corresponding to the reviewer in question.--[[User:Primestar3|Primestar3]] ([[User talk:Primestar3|talk]]) 19:51, 18 September 2020 (EDT)
:::Again documenting every outlet/individual and instance in which they've been sponsored or sent something would be far too much of an undertaking, and these people are only tangentially related at best. For example, IGN has been sent press kits for TF games, been granted interviews with devs, and received toys for review, but they don't get their own article; we just link to the content where appropriate, like in a game's development section. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:05, 18 September 2020 (EDT)
::::Even then, the videos I've posted above all have some sort of narrative. That's far more distinctive than simple reviews and there are less approved narrative-based videos than approved review videos, so it wouldn't be as hard to document.

::::I think there's precedeence to this idea as this wiki documents videos on the official Transformers Youtube channel featuring narrative such as How to Ride your Dinobot but not every other video posted on that channel (most of which aren't short narrative based videos).--[[User:Primestar3|Primestar3]] ([[User talk:Primestar3|talk]]) 20:58, 18 September 2020 (EDT)
:::::We can't go documenting everything that Transformers has sponsored or we'd be here all millennium. If they're hosted on the official Transformers YouTube account, then that's something Hasbro produced and worth mentioning. But otherwise, it's tantamount to trying to list every single instance where a Transformers commercial has aired on TV. There's been episodes of TV shows sponsored by Transformers too. It's notable that Transformers has sponsored things in general and the types of things they've sponsored. But the individual things are not notable on their own unless Hasbro or a licensee produced it or paid someone else to produce it. HISHE might have an argument as the content creator asserts that Paramount approved it. The other two not on the official channel don't. Not really sure what SpaceApe's involvement was with the Lumaken video, but it seems like some of their people helped with filming or effects. That said, the video isn't corporately sponsored and thus their involvement does not appear to qualify the video as being an official production. Pewdiepie's has no Hasbro or licensee involvement whatsoever, it's just a paid ad. They bought airtime essentially. He just happened to theme the video around the advertisement.

== T-Beast ==

Hey all, I was just wondering if the T-Beast Art books were official publications through TakaraTomy? If they are, how come we haven't made pages for them on this wiki? I would make the pages if I knew much about them, but as I can't read or speak Japanese, I'd much rather leave that job for someone who knows more about them or who can translate any of whats in the books. I've watched Emgo316's review on the books on youtube and with the overuse of official names (sometimes ''Engrish'' translated) and faction insignias, it would suggest to me that it is a TakaraTomy publication. I know we won't cover the 3rd party molds based off of the designs from the books because *gasp* that's blasphemous, but the books are worth mentioning.

== A moratorium on expanding toy entries? ==

There's been some discussion on the Discord recently about entries for newly-released toys getting clogged up with overlong crufty notes, as a result of people rushing in to expand the entries as soon the figure starts trickling out into the wild. I thought it could be worth discussing ways of combating these editing habits – a potential idea I'd had was a moratorium on expanding entries for newly-released toys, similar to what we did to curb poor editing habits in relation to the Facebook Ask Vector Prime? Maybe do it relative to the first US retail sighting or something? Thoughts welcome! [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 18:35, 27 November 2020 (EST)
:For starters, I'm gonna suggest immediate reversion of any claims of "widespread" defects or quality/sensitivity of pieces for the first month or two of release, so as to determine if it's *actually* a widespread issue and not someone adding personal commentary on the state of their own toy. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19:00, 27 November 2020 (EST)
::I agree with this, I see mentionings of supposed "widespread" issues mentioned on here all the time that don't have sufficient evidence to back up these claims. [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420's]] idea of holding off for a month or so would probably be a good solution for this. It gives enough time for people to have a figure in-hand long enough to compare and document issues, allowing for us to have a better idea of whether these are as widespread as claimed or whether this is just one out of several million that has had issues with their personal figure. Especially when some people are buying stolen products long before their expected release and note issues that probably aren't even on the finished product and could possibly just be a result of a stolen test-shot.

There doesn't seem to be a consistent way to manage significant retools - the Classics Seeker template makes a lot of distinctions, while the Universe Sunstreaker template treats all the retools as one consistent toy. I'm also trying to figure out how to thread the needle on the weird international variants of the minicars, like the "Huffer in Pipes colors" that supposedly came out in Greece and also came out in a different set of "Pipes colors" in Mexico...

== Changing format of some older pages. ==

Hey everyone, it had been discussed earlier today on Discord that the G1 [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] page is in need of a complete revamp. Suggestions had been made to archive the original format of the page to keep the joke alive and available for those who still wish to see and admire it, while starting fresh in our standard character page format. It is nothing against the running joke per se, it mainly boils down to the rhyming starting to take its toll on the information that the page is supposed to present to readers of the wiki. I myself, before joining the wiki and even now, always avoid the page like a plague, as it is hard to navigate and actually obtain any information from, which goes against what the page is intended to do.

That doesn't mean all of the rhyming has to go, it is still welcome in the opening paragraph and image captions, but general consensus on Discord is that it could do to be more informative. I also believe that the long-running joke is starting to take its toll on editors adding any new additions while trying to keep with the rhyming format and quite frankly, I believe that to be another downfall to the article since the wiki is made to be as accessible as possible for anyone to edit and it just adds another layer of complications. I bring this up here rather than on the talk page as it has also been suggested that the same be done to G1 [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]]'s page too for the same reasons.

I advice that you please make these discussions on the individual talk pages: '''[[Talk:Wheelie (G1)]]''' and '''[[Talk:Rewind (G1)]]'''.

Feel free to bring up any other pages worth making similar changes to '''here''' as there is bound to be others that could do to be looked over too.

:'''Just a quick follow up after reading back over what was said on Discord:''' We could possibly keep the pages as is and keep them as the featured articles they are currently, while having a suite with a link to a more informative version, therefore keeping the jokes and also having a variant that actually makes "sense".

== All the human collaborators should have a page ==

The Human collaborators is the concept of [[Human]]s being allied with the [[Decepticon]]s. It exists since the beginning of the brand, brought to existence in the [[Megatron's Master Plan]] Duology from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Transformers G1 cartoon]] and appeared for the last time in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]], With DOTM 10th year anniversary on the horizon, i'm thinking of creating a page for all them. In fact i'm creating a sandbox about it and i want to know if its a good idea to do that or not. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 14:21, 18 January 2021 (EST)
:Our existing "Category:Humans" is in pretty bad shape. It's divided into dozens of subcategories already so that the "main" listing is nowhere near a single comprehensive list. Instead people went and added subgroups like "Classified Humans" and "Military Humans" and many many etc. From an educational resource perspective it would probably be more useful to streamline the category we already have. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 14:41, 18 January 2021 (EST)

:::Decepticon human collaborators have been around a lot longer than just season 2 of G1. [[Doctor Arkeville]] was actually the first Decepticon ally. Even then, characters collaborating with Decepticons had been around in the years in between G1 and DOTM. the Marvel G1 comics, Dreamwave comics, IDW comics and such, more than likely had a lot of instances where that was a thing too (I'm not too familiar with a lot of those comics). ''Animated'' had some of the human villains working with the Decepticons on some occassions too.

:::As for the human collaborators page, I don't feel that a separate page needs to be made, there was never a collective group or organization of them, just occassional cases of random people being told what to do while more or less being held at gun point, or on some occassions, given the sweet promise of world domination. I think if anything, Thylacine's idea of making a subcategory would probably be your best bet, but a better name would be "Decepticon allied humans" or something. As far as I'm aware, there is no page for Autobot allied humans (which there are crap tons of), so there is really no point in making one for the Decepticon allies.

:::: It most certainly is not "my idea to make a new subcategory." We have too many subcategories already.

:There really is little to no point to a page for this concept; a category will do. That'd just be opening up for countless list-pages of random Things People In Fiction Sometimes Do, and this wiki is historically not keen on list pages. There's a lot of stuff characters do/are that don't have pages just because the concept is too vague, too broad, or too obvious that a page would not actually provide any new information (or comedy potential) on how its use within ''Transformers'' fiction is different from the immediately obvious. There's no page for "ninjas" (that just links to the Category), but "Cyber-Ninja Corps", a very specifically-defined group of ninjas, does get a page.

:Besides "bad guys" like Shawn Berger or Doctor Arkeville, does Spike count when he went nuts as Autobot Spike and used Megatron to fire on the Autobots? Or do [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] count when the Autobots had a truce with the Decepticons against a [[Dark Star|cosmically-powered Starscream]]? Or take [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Skywarp]]: he joined G.I.Joe and worked with them. Does that make all of G.I. Joe human collaborators? I hope not. If someone has to think this hard about who actually belongs to a category, it will actually clutter up the wiki instead of clarify relationships. Everything that ''could'' be grouped doesn't necessarily benefit from a page or category. It may be worth noting briefly ''on individual character pages'' about some characters' tendencies to work with Decepticons.

:::I honestly think that is the ''opposite'' of what we need. The first thing to be done after streamlining should not be the addition of more subcategories. The point has been made that there are too many human subcategories already, and I agree. You seem very intent on specifically adding information about Decepticon-allied humans. Keep in mind that this is not an official faction. This is effectively like creating a category about "Humans With Yellow Boots and Blue Pants and Hard Hats". Yes, that group exists, but unless it's very funny, we don't need it. Going forward, I recommend focusing on contributing to what the wiki lacks (say, by adding information on our pages with stubs) instead of searching for differences without distinction.

== Micro-Sized ==

Hey all, was wondering if we should make a page/archive for the Mini-Con/Micro-Sized profiles from the Collectors' Club website and magazine?

They seem to be rather important pieces of fiction for a lot of those Mini-Cons and I feel we should have some form of proper write ups or a proper link to archives of the profiles themselves at the very least. Half the character pages have the profiles summed up in brief opening paragraphs but some people (me included) may want to read some of the online profiles which the Collectors' Club website doesn't appear to have anymore.

Just an idea I thought might be interesting to look into. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 20:04, 31 January 2021 (EST)

== Reducing negative ''Energon'' episode notes. ==

Alrighty, since the wiki has been taking a pretty neutral approach to things over recent years and we had already decided on reducing excessive sarcasm and negativity to the ''Energon'' cartoon page, I feel the episode pages should probably follow suit.

I'm just started my annual rewatch of the show and I'm going to add, subtract and alter things like I did in the ''Armada'' episode pages after each watch. I'm already making a start on removing pieces of sarcasm listed as "trivia" that ''really'' doesn't need to be highlighted and is only there for the sake of bashing the show.

That being said, errors, plotholes, continuity issues etc. are fine, but the "pain count" sections probably should either be removed or be relabelled as "stock phrase count" or something along those lines. I'm personally still alright with the caption jokes and quote jokes, but the excessive "This character sucks because the show sucks." is definitely a no go.

After a disscussion on Discord, it had also been suggested that we list common stock phrases from the Unicron Trilogy on a separate page much like we do for [[Furmanism]]s. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 03:25, 2 March 2021 (EST)
:Before anyone goes to the trouble of creating an entire "Energonisms" page, it is worth examining whether the series is well-known or well-liked enough for that to be worthwhile. Furman wrote hundreds of comics & scripts across multiple series and about 25 years; his repeat phrases are more noticeable and important. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 07:36, 2 March 2021 (EST)

:::I'll be honest, the Furmanisms page is filled with rather common oldschool comicbook phrases that aren't ''really'' unique to him or ''Transformers'' for that matter. You can almost guarantee that those phrases have been used in even older comics from the 60s, like ''X-Men'' for example. Hell, they've possibly been used in material even older than that. I generally stay clear of anything that makes references to that page, because it is full of blurred lines. Perhaps this should also be a topic for discussion. In terms of Energonisms, I personally don't agree with it either, but I thought I better bring it up for those who aren't on Discord.
:::My main concern right now is whether we should remove the "pain count" sections from the episode pages. As I've been binging the show and updating episode info, I've been working around them, but they still hold a heavy tone of negativity while everything else around them has been altered to the neutral tone. I've tried to think of a better title to use in its place, but the further through the episode pages I go, the more excessively negative it seems to get. Yes there are a ''lot'' of stock phrases used, but if people start to include other ones that haven't already been listed—and there are quite a few—pretty soon we're gonna end up with entire dub scripts for the episodes listed lol. As for stock footage counts, it's common in practically every Japanese ''Transformers'' series (From BWII onwards at the very least), so listing them is just another example of adding things to bash the show. Our [[Transformers Wiki:Captions#Captions and jokes we're sick of|captions/jokes policies]] also state that ''Energon'' jokes are pretty much frowned upon by today's wiki standards.
:::As I am writing this post, it has also occured to me that ''Cybertron''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s episode pages have pain counts that follow the same outline too (listing stock phrases and stock footage), so perhaps we should look into removing those for the same reasons. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 06:11, 5 March 2021 (EST)
::::I feel it should be pointed out that many of the stock phrases from Energon ("Uh...", "Huh?" "Let's do it!", "Wait up!" etc.) were first used by the same dubbing team back in Armada. If any new page is going to be created for those phrases, it's only fair that those from Armada (and probably from Cybertron too) be included since those phrases are not exclusive to Energon even if it's in that show that they're the worst offender. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 09:58, 5 March 2021 (EST)

:::::::It's funny you say that, Fritz. ''Armada'' was the first place to use the stock phrases, yet the episode pages were absent of any pain counts or any real negativity in general. As for ''Cybertron'', listing the pain counts on those pages seems to hold the same weight as the negativity I pruned down on the main ''Armada'' page a couple of weeks ago. They seem to be an outdated case of critisms that were made when the show first came out. In my experience, ''Cybertron'', while still not perfect, still remains the pretty widely enjoyed out of the three shows among the Facebook groups and stuff I've been in.

:::::::At the end of the day, I don't feel it's really the wiki's place to tell people how to feel towards something. It's one thing to mention issues and critisms, but when you're pushing personal opinions onto the reader, making them steer clear of the show entirely instead of letting them form their own opinions, it doesn't really help keep the history of the brand we're supposed to be documenting alive. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 15:28, 5 March 2021 (EST)
::::::::The keyword there is "outdated." Energon is from 2003 and the "pain count" stuff was probably all written in 2007 or so. In 2021 no one is creating canon with ironic joking references to a hypothetical Energonism, and even if they did, the whole source of complaint is that the dialogue is so interchangeable and empty that if someone were to say it in a future series it would probably just be seen as unrelated new bad dialogue. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 15:44, 5 March 2021 (EST)

::::::::::Totally agree with you there, Fanofcoolstuff27. I watched ''Energon'' and ''Cybertron'' for the first time just last year and actually enjoyed the latter a lot.

:The pain counts can go, but I'm 100% against removing the overal tone of negativity.

To try and soften that in the Energon articles almost feels like a disservice to 20 years of near-universal fan rejection. (And the reason we say not to make Energon jokes on the caption page was because they were getting excessive across the whole wiki. That said, while other pages shouldn't be saddled with such jokes, there's no reason to sugarcoat things on the Energon articles themselves.) -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:41, 5 March 2021 (EST)

Energon is garbage in any language, and I feel we do a disservice to act like it's not a rushed, cheap, ugly job by the lowest bidder that runs out of plot halfway through its episode count and has to start over even BEFORE you take into account the first-draft English dub. And yes, the captions page remark about it and many other objects of derision is mostly about the ''unoriginality'' and ''over-use'' of adding ''new'' joke captions about it, not "it's wrong". --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 17:35, 5 March 2021 (EST)
:::See, my issue here isn't neccessarily the negativity itself, more the overuse of it. I've already taken it upon myself to remove silly pieces of "trivia" that aren't trivia at all and are more just an attempt to bash a bad show. You can mention all of it's flaws and whatever, there is no problem with that. It's the constant nitpickiness that is added, when just about ''every'' Transformers show has more or less the ''exact'' same issues. The line between openly pointing out issues in one show and turning a blind eye to those same issues in other shows is ''very'' blurred.

:::Given our recent response on Discord towards the removal of "Pain counts" from the Energon episode pages, perhaps we could at least settle with a mid-ground compromise. My proposal: The removal of stock footage from the counts. It's not exclusive to Energon at all, so listing them as a ''bad'' thing builds a pretty poor case. Yeah, there is a ''lot'' of stock footage use, but the show is to sell Transformers toys, so highlighting the brand's main attraction is hardly a crime. BWII, BWN, RID/Car Robots, Robot Masters, Armada/Legends of the Microns, Energon/Super Link, Cybertron/Galaxy Force, Animated, Go!, RID 2015 and I wanna say Cyberverse (?) are all guilty of using stock footage. Only about three of them are English-speaking original shows, while the rest of them are Japanese shows. It's practically been a tradition to include stock footage transformations and combinations at this point. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 18:31, 5 March 2021 (EST)

== Voice actor categorization ==

I really don't like the idea of putting voice actors into company categories based on shows or games they've appeared in (see [[:Category:Activision]] or [[:Category:DreamWorks]] for example). This seems a little disingenuous, considering that none of these are employees of these companies, but rather freelance. Furthermore, this doesn't include all the different shows' production companies, but rather more like picking and choosing at random. If you were to categorize them at all, I would either do so based on the studio the series was recorded at (such as Voicebox or Studiopolis) or make new "(show) voice cast" categories. (But honestly, my first choice would be to not do so at all.) -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 00:17, 6 March 2021 (EST)

== Energon Terrorcons ==

I'm having issues with the way we have the ''Energon'' Terrorcon pages currently set up. The pages have a lot of misinformation being spread within them and between them and I'm not entirely sure how we should handle it.

The show presents three different colour variants/breeds/races of flying Terrorcon: Divebomb, a "Stealth Divebomb" (which is the Command Ravage colour palette placed on Divebomb), and the Shadowhawk Cosmo Type/Blackout colour scheme. I've just gone and removed the stealth colour scheme write ups from Blackout's page as they are clearly not the same thing and it would fall under potential citogenesis.

My proposal for this issue would be to move "Blackout (Terrorcon)" to "Shadowhawk Cosmo Type" and just make mention of the Energon dubs' cock up with the names as a note or that an individual Terrorcon named "Blackout" is also among them. Much like "Command Ravage", "Shadowhawk Cosmo Type" is also an official name and it's my understanding that if Hasbro names aren't available, we generally opt for the Takara names instead (e.g. [[Mirror]]), and because "Blackout" is referred to as an individual rather than a race/breed, it would be hard to use that as an offical English-language designation. I also don't feel that there would be enough to warrant an individual Shadowhawk Cosmo Type page and a Blackout page, as they'd contain most of the same information.

Secondly, I'm wondering if the stealth decoed Divebombs warrant their own page under a nickname title? e.g. [[Watchdog (G1)]]. They are clearly a different breed to the two aforementioned races and with the Command Ravages being present alongside them, it only seems fair to mark them on a separate page too. If others agree, I was thinking maybe "Stealth Divebomb" or something, as the title—unless ''Super Link'' has a better term used in the episode?

Thirdly, and the least important of noting on this list of issues: The Planet Q natives featured in the flashback (before the planet was destroyed) use both the Shadowhawk Cosmo Type model and a recoloured version of the Battle Ravage model in the same colours. Do these Battle Ravage redecos warrant a page or is a note on the respective mold pages enough for them?

Thank Primus that the Insecticons and Cruellocks don't suffer from this issue of multiple breeds/repaints presented on-screen.

Let me know what you think. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 05:49, 10 March 2021 (EST)

:I would make a "Shadowhawk Cosmo Type" article for that color scheme in general, but keep the Blackout article for that specific individual. All of the other weird color schemes like "Shadowhawk Desert Type" could just go on the regular article, with notes pointing out their existence. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 15:35, 10 March 2021 (EST)

== Excessively long toy pages ==

Let's face it. A few pages such as "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys]]" and "[[Megatron (G1)/toys]]" have become so long that they can slow down a device just to be loaded. Will we allow indefinite expansion such that page scrolling time will balloon further? We need to do some kind of split that will set up a second page for many years to come. Some months back, there was a discussion on the Discord server suggesting the start of ''Generations'' in 2010 as a useful dividing boundary. Thoughts? [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D.

== Merge or not to merge the ROTF toyline and N.E.S.T. Global Alliance pages. ==

I think we should merge the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|ROTF toyline]] and the [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]] pages, since they're both from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]] movie, along with the fact that some toys from that [[subline imprint]] are in the ROTF page. Besides, the reason why users here want their pages to be merged is the same from the [[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]] and The Unicron Battles, which by the time of this talk, they're already merged. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk: Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 16:52 18 March 2021 (EST)

==User account created, but no activity==
Something I've noticed when I'd pop in every once in awhile when checking the Recent Changes/User Creation Log is that once a new user account has been created, there's no activity. Granted, some have been blocked for various reasons (mostly the autoblocks), but I wonder whether there should be anything done to the others (aside of just leaving them alone). Like, delete the username after a certain period of no activity, or would that affect the IP address? I'm reminded of how one user had a history of creating and then camping subreddits, which was against Reddit's TOS. -- [[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 00:12, 7 January 2020 (EST)

== Minor skin tweak ==

The latest version of Firefox was making the scrollbars look funky and blue on our site, so I have put some css in to fix them. Hopefully this should not affect any other browsers, but please let me know if you're using Chrome or IE7 or something and it is causing a problem. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 20:20, 8 January 2020 (EST)

== 2007 Movie Universe and 2018 Movie Universe ==

: No, because we don't know it's a proper reboot yet, so we have no reason to do so. This has been discussed at length already.

== Prime Wars Placement ==

I'm probably being an idiot and there's a perfectly valid reason for it, but why aren't the Prime Wars Trilogy bios placed in character's G1 Cartoon sections? Is it the slight IDW influence, or not enough evidence that they belong there? --[[User:Waspscream|Waspscream]] ([[User talk:Waspscream|talk]]) 23:16, 26 January 2020 (EST)
:The Prime Wars Trilogy is a completely separate continuity from the G1 cartoon. The G1 Cartoon sections are for information detailing a character's exploits in continuities tied directly or nearly directly to that 1984-1987 animated series produced by Marvel Productions and Sunbow Productions, which the Prime Wars Trilogy has no connection to and therefore gets it own separate section on each character's page. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 23:25, 26 January 2020 (EST)
::I could agree to that back when Combiner Wars was out, but by the time of Power Of The Primes, there were a lot of additions, such as Megatron once having been Galvatron and Unicron stuck as a head, that seem to attempt to connect it to the cartoon. At the very least, it's somewhat tied to the cartoon, even with many incongruities. -- [[User:Waspscream|Waspscream]] ([[User talk:Waspscream|talk]]) 16:20, 27 January 2020 (EST)
:::It's really not. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:41, 27 January 2020 (EST)
:::"Things are referencing the first really huge piece of popular media most people are familiar with" is not exactly slam-dunk proof of "actually part of the same timeline". --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 21:13, 27 January 2020 (EST)
:::: Admittedly, I didn't explain my opinions very well, but while Megatron being Galvatron is common, the use of it here seems like an attempt to reconcile the series as somewhat connected to the G1 cartoon, on a similar level to Beast Wars, I guess. There were other examples, that was just the first that came to mind. There isn't really any true proof for it, so I guess I'll leave it at that. I guess the entire thing is in a grey area free for personal interpretation of where it could belong. I'm kinda new around here, and I'm not trying to start an argument, just get some clarification about what belongs where. -- [[User:Waspscream|Waspscream]] ([[User talk:Waspscream|talk]]) 21:38, 27 January 2020 (EST)
:::::Power of the Primes also hinted that when Unicron turned Megatron into Galvatron, it was by the power of the Matrix of Chaos, a device that did not exist in the G1 cartoon and thus which was not used by Unicron to turn Megatron into Galvatron in the 1986 movie. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 00:39, 28 January 2020 (EST)
::::::And that Unicron was destroyed in ancient times by the Requiem Blaster, a thing that very much did not happen in the original cartoon. (And for the record, we don't treat Beast Wars as a direct cartoon followup either since it blends elements from both Marvel and Sunbow.) -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 00:57, 28 January 2020 (EST)
::::::: I am aware of that. -- [[User:Waspscream|Waspscream]] ([[User talk:Waspscream|talk]]) 22:13, 29 January 2020 (EST)
:::::::Given the prominence of the G1 cartoon, it is not surprising that so many later stories make reference to it or homage it. But that's all that this is, referencing and homages. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 08:13, 28 January 2020 (EST)

== Franchise pages ==

I wanted to float an idea regarding our franchise pages. They're typically pretty sparse and some which aren't are just plain paragraphs of text with lists. What do people think about formatting the franchise pages more like the main page? I've made an [[User:Abates/Franchise sandbox|example sandbox]]. I used Rescue Bots Academy as an example, since we currently have it linked on the sidebar, so there's boxes for the cartoon, toyline, major characters, and a featured article (which I think would be best as a random article rather than manually being changed each month). --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:46, 20 March 2020 (EDT)
:I like this a LOT. That said, how would this template handle pages with way more information like Beast Wars? Also, a suggestion made on the Discord was for the featured article to change between premade selections similar to the [[Main Page/disambig|main page disambiguation template]] or [[multilingual packaging]]. Would that be worth exploring? -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:34, 20 March 2020 (EDT)
::That was my thinking as to how the featured article section would work. As for something like Beast Wars, probably everything below, say, "A dramatic change" could stay as is. The idea is to present the main info in a more appealing manner, but there's nothing to say we couldn't have more conventional sections further down. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 21:39, 20 March 2020 (EDT)

== Source namespace ==

We currently have a bunch of source documents which have names like "Angry Birds Transformers bios/src". It's possible to create a Source namespace so instead they would be at names like "Source:Angry Birds Transformers bios".

Advantages: Everything that's an official document would be all in one namespace, searchable independently of mainspace articles.<br />
Disadvantages: We wouldn't be able to have a namespace article with a title starting "Source:", but I think it's unlikely to be an issue. We have [[Source]] which is a redirect, but I don't believe it would be affected.

What does everyone think? --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:32, 26 April 2020 (EDT)
:Makes sense to me. There's a lot of online-only text that's disappeared from official websites (Legends card game, Robotmasters, Cloud, lots of bios, etc.) Preserving this stuff would help in the future. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 19:38, 26 April 2020 (EDT)
::I'm in agreement. I think the pros heavily outweigh the cons, and I'm sure we can find a workaround if there's a story title that starts with "Source" down the line. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19:57, 26 April 2020 (EDT)

== Should we add a category for "Toy of the Year" winners of the Hall of fame? ==

Seeing that we already have categories for "Hall of Fame characters," and "Hall of Fame creators," we probably should make a category for the "Toy(s) of the Year(s)." Just my opinion. [[User:DDog|DDog]] ([[User talk:DDog|talk]]) 17:03, 1 May 2020 (EDT)

== Minor edits ==

I just wanted to post a reminder about minor edits, because I've seen people mark edits as minor which I don't think should be considered minor. Minor edits are things like spelling and grammar corrections, formatting corrections, and the like. If you're adding an entire sentence to an article or a whole new note, it shouldn't be marked minor. We've got a brief section on this here: [[Help:Style guide#Minor and major edits]]. I'm not looking to single anyone out, just post a reminder because it seems to be more common recently. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 19:09, 3 May 2020 (EDT)

=="Japanese ID number"==
I dunno if "uncomfortable" is the right word, but "Japanese ID number" feels off for a variety of reasons, including these toys not being sold ONLY in Japan. I'm increasingly thinking there's a better option for this info in the toy entries.
*For entries that cover both the Hasbro and Takara versions, "Takara ID number" works better. (Conversely, those handful of Hasbro toys w/ numbers, "Hasbro ID number")
*For entries about toys ONLY released in Takara lines, just plain old "ID number" should suffice.
I realize this is... a buttload of changes across the wiki, and not a top priority or anything, but maybe something folks can pick up here and there while making other edits in the relevant sections. Thoughts? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 00:50, 5 May 2020 (EDT)

== Do Euro-Classics get their own listing or not? ==
We are currently very inconsistent on whether [[Classics (Europe)]] counts as a G1 toy release as distinct as a Targetmaster or Pretender upgrade. Look at [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys]] and [[Prowl (G1)/toys]] and compare to [[Sludge (G1)]] or [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys]]. I think they should all be listed distinctly - that the Sunstreaker approach is right. Is there any reason why we wouldn't do this? --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 20:26, 5 May 2020 (EDT)
:I think it's just that no one has bothered to do it. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 21:07, 5 May 2020 (EDT)
::Pretty much. A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of old stuff on this wiki -particularly the toy entries- needs to be dusted off and looked at and brought up to modern standards/consistency. But that's a pretty dang involved process and while it seems many of us have more spare time now, it's still... a kinda draining, droning way to spend it. (I've been tackling BW but hoofta, it's a lot.) --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 00:01, 6 May 2020 (EDT)

== TF Car Robots concept materials? ==
Z226_JUPITER on [https://twitter.com/Z226_JUPITER Twitter] had been tweeting several behind-the-scenes stuff on ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Car Robots]]'', namely design notes, storyboards, and [https://twitter.com/Z226_JUPITER/status/1258406704334532614 height chart], like how the Almanacs were for Animated. One of the more recent [https://twitter.com/Z226_JUPITER/status/1260473367192317955 tweets] noted a possible 176-page book being released, as well a PDF version. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone here who's fluent in Japanese to be able to better ask Z226_JUPITER about it, much less how a copy could be obtained to further supplement the wiki here for non-Japanese readers. One thing is that I don't know if this is something like a fan-release thing or something OKed by Takara, given how there have been the occasional official doujinshi/fan-supplemented materials green-lit by companies. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 17:42, 14 May 2020 (EDT)
:I've crossposted this to the Discord server and one of our Japanese speaking users there (Star-Spangled Sam) volunteered to look into it. Abates and I looked at it a bit too, and found that Z226_Jupiter has a link in his Twitter profile to his works on booth.pm. That site appears to be a place for self publishing fan works and related to Pixiv, a Japanese site which is similar to DeviantArt. The book can be purchased from that site. As for whether it has any approval from TakaraTomy, that's unclear so far. The description when run through Google Translate reads like the speaker is not affilated with TT (which makes sense given this is a fanwork) but beyond that there's no indication. We're waiting to see what Sam comes up with. --[[User:Tigerpaw28|Tigerpaw28]] ([[User talk:Tigerpaw28|talk]]) 14:34, 3 June 2020 (EDT)

== New bot proposal ==
After some discussion on the Discord about the need for a new bot and having been thinking about writing one for awhile now, I've put together a proposal for how a new bot would work, and what kinds of things it might likely do. This done with the idea that [[User:Deceptitran|Deceptitran]]'s functionality would need to be replaced, given [[User:Derik|Derik]]'s infrequent appearances these days and no else having access to run Deceptitran. There's also a distinct possibility Deceptitran isn't functional at the moment as the URL for the Emopanda site Derik was using for hosting things externally (I presume this includes Deceptitran) is abandoned.

The way I see it, the bot could run a number of recurring tasks at different intervals, plus any one time "on demand" requests from Wiki editors/staff. Requests would made by editing a subpage of the bot's user page and filling out a template. This would be much the same as link fix requests worked with Deceptitran.

Every 15-30 minutes, the bot would check it's user page for new "on demand"/"editor generated" requests and process them.
For these requests, I see two levels of approval they could go through: 1. Request approval and 2. Result approval. The former would be approval of the request before any processing occurs. The latter would be approval of the results of a request before the bot actually makes any changes on the Wiki.

I think the first level of approval could be handled by checking Wiki rights/permission of the requesting user. A bot request approval permission could be created and assigned to any trusted non-mod or Admin user. Then only requests from those users, mods and admins would be processed. This would prevent anons and other untrusted accounts from using the bot for nefarious purposes without requiring active moderation of the request submissions by a human.

Result approvals would be to prevent the bot from making tons of errant changes. Someone would have to manually go through the list of changes proposed by the bot to see if anything looks wrong. To limit the amount of time we have to spend looking over stuff like this, I think it would make sense to make this a requirement only for requests that would produce a minimum (10? 20?) number of changes. This limit could be gradually increased as we become more confident in the bot's logic.

Verification of these changes would be done by logging into a site running on my hosting service, same as the bot would be. As for who would do it, I am willing to do it and/or we could set it up for any mods/admins that would like to. I've also thought about the possibility of having email notifications for when a request needs to be reviewed.

I've come up with the following ideas for what kinds of tasks could be done on demand:
::Link fixing
::Category tagging/untagging
::Section reordering by header level
::Mass page moving

In addition to the recurring on demand processing job, I've come up with some other recurring jobs that I think might be beneficial:

::At least once a day:
:::Page deletion
:::Welcoming users (placing the welcome template on their talkpage)
:::Fix redirects

::Daily:
:::Remove stale dated templates

I'm open to any other ideas on what tasks we'd like to have the bot perform. I'd also like to hear some thoughts on which tasks should get added as functionality first.

==G2 Go-Bots mold templates==
Hey y'all, I just knocked out a set of mold templates for the original six G2 Go-Bot toolings, I think I've gotten everything consistent as far as how to refer to stuff, but it's a little idiosyncratic because unlike say, the CW limb guys, you've got a case where Motormouth was released in two slightly different but clearly distinct plastic colors (clear vs opaque) and then RID Ironhide/CR Ox had multiple different uses of the tooling in different colorways, all intended to be the same character, which I'm struggling to think of a comparable situation. If someone else wants to go over the nomeclature I used (especially for the various store exclusive redecos) be my guest.

If I'm feeling REALLY masochistic, I might try to do a template like this for the Armada Mini-Con toolings, which are probably ''Classics'' Seeker level of reused. '''EDIT TO ADD:''' If I were to do the UT Mini-Cons, would the mold templates use the names the toys were sold under (e.g. "X-Dimension Sail") or the names that were retroactively applied by Ask Vector Prime? I'm inclined towards the former and to not even mention the retronyms, because otherwise the box gets really cluttered. I sort of flirted with this with 2003 Universe Camshaft and Hoist, who were just straight reissues of KB W.A.R.S. and Ironhide, but at least they were available on shelves under those names. I didn't bother with the Prowl and Ironhide that were retroactively "declared" to be Red Alert and Trailbreaker because who cares, lol.

--[[User:Primestar3|Primestar3]] ([[User talk:Primestar3|talk]]) 18:47, 18 September 2020 (EDT)
:First two are for sure good, as they were produced for Hasbro (and are even mirrored on the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVnDLnA9mro Transformers YouTube channel]). I'm hesitant at best about HISHE and Lumaken, and absolutely against Pewdiepie's. Also, if we were to document all "approved" videos, we'd have to include every video where Hasbro ever sent an outlet or YouTuber a product for review, and that would be tantamount to lunacy because of just how many videos that would include. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19:18, 18 September 2020 (EDT)
::I think in regards to reviewers, they can get individual pages and have their approved videos be listed on those pages corresponding to the reviewer in question.--[[User:Primestar3|Primestar3]] ([[User talk:Primestar3|talk]]) 19:51, 18 September 2020 (EDT)
:::Again documenting every outlet/individual and instance in which they've been sponsored or sent something would be far too much of an undertaking, and these people are only tangentially related at best. For example, IGN has been sent press kits for TF games, been granted interviews with devs, and received toys for review, but they don't get their own article; we just link to the content where appropriate, like in a game's development section. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:05, 18 September 2020 (EDT)
::::Even then, the videos I've posted above all have some sort of narrative. That's far more distinctive than simple reviews and there are less approved narrative-based videos than approved review videos, so it wouldn't be as hard to document.

::::I think there's precedeence to this idea as this wiki documents videos on the official Transformers Youtube channel featuring narrative such as How to Ride your Dinobot but not every other video posted on that channel (most of which aren't short narrative based videos).--[[User:Primestar3|Primestar3]] ([[User talk:Primestar3|talk]]) 20:58, 18 September 2020 (EDT)
:::::We can't go documenting everything that Transformers has sponsored or we'd be here all millennium. If they're hosted on the official Transformers YouTube account, then that's something Hasbro produced and worth mentioning. But otherwise, it's tantamount to trying to list every single instance where a Transformers commercial has aired on TV. There's been episodes of TV shows sponsored by Transformers too. It's notable that Transformers has sponsored things in general and the types of things they've sponsored. But the individual things are not notable on their own unless Hasbro or a licensee produced it or paid someone else to produce it. HISHE might have an argument as the content creator asserts that Paramount approved it. The other two not on the official channel don't. Not really sure what SpaceApe's involvement was with the Lumaken video, but it seems like some of their people helped with filming or effects. That said, the video isn't corporately sponsored and thus their involvement does not appear to qualify the video as being an official production. Pewdiepie's has no Hasbro or licensee involvement whatsoever, it's just a paid ad. They bought airtime essentially. He just happened to theme the video around the advertisement. BIG no on that one. --[[User:Tigerpaw28|Tigerpaw28]] ([[User talk:Tigerpaw28|talk]]) 22:24, 18 September 2020 (EDT)

== T-Beast ==

Hey all, I was just wondering if the T-Beast Art books were official publications through TakaraTomy? If they are, how come we haven't made pages for them on this wiki? I would make the pages if I knew much about them, but as I can't read or speak Japanese, I'd much rather leave that job for someone who knows more about them or who can translate any of whats in the books. I've watched Emgo316's review on the books on youtube and with the overuse of official names (sometimes ''Engrish'' translated) and faction insignias, it would suggest to me that it is a TakaraTomy publication. I know we won't cover the 3rd party molds based off of the designs from the books because *gasp* that's blasphemous, but the books are worth mentioning.

== A moratorium on expanding toy entries? ==

There's been some discussion on the Discord recently about entries for newly-released toys getting clogged up with overlong crufty notes, as a result of people rushing in to expand the entries as soon the figure starts trickling out into the wild. I thought it could be worth discussing ways of combating these editing habits – a potential idea I'd had was a moratorium on expanding entries for newly-released toys, similar to what we did to curb poor editing habits in relation to the Facebook Ask Vector Prime? Maybe do it relative to the first US retail sighting or something? Thoughts welcome! [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 18:35, 27 November 2020 (EST)
:For starters, I'm gonna suggest immediate reversion of any claims of "widespread" defects or quality/sensitivity of pieces for the first month or two of release, so as to determine if it's *actually* a widespread issue and not someone adding personal commentary on the state of their own toy. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19:00, 27 November 2020 (EST)
::I agree with this, I see mentionings of supposed "widespread" issues mentioned on here all the time that don't have sufficient evidence to back up these claims. [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420's]] idea of holding off for a month or so would probably be a good solution for this. It gives enough time for people to have a figure in-hand long enough to compare and document issues, allowing for us to have a better idea of whether these are as widespread as claimed or whether this is just one out of several million that has had issues with their personal figure. Especially when some people are buying stolen products long before their expected release and note issues that probably aren't even on the finished product and could possibly just be a result of a stolen test-shot.

::I'm going to agree with the """widespread""" issues notes needing to be held off on, but I'm not sure that waiting to just fill out basic info for an entry is going to actually curb the "overlong crufty" parts. That's... just a standard writing/editing issue that can affect toy writeups done years after a toy's release, or character profile entries, or etc. It's part of why I've been trying to "formalize" toy writeups a bit, a kind of "info goes in more or this order, try not to jump around between mode-features, paragraph breaks for X Y Z".

== Messing around with mold templates ==

As seen [[User:Hooper_X/SANDBALLS/Template:G1BumblebeeMold|here for G1 Bee]], [[User:Hooper_X/SANDBALLS/Template:G1CliffjumperMold|here for the rest of the 84 minibots]], [[User:Hooper_X/SANDBALLS/Template:G1CombaticonMolds|here for the Combaticons]] and [[User:Hooper_X/SANDBALLS/Template:G1SeekerMold|here for the G1 Seekers]]. There doesn't seem to be a consistent way to manage significant retools - the Classics Seeker template makes a lot of distinctions, while the Universe Sunstreaker template treats all the retools as one consistent toy. I'm also trying to figure out how to thread the needle on the weird international variants of the minicars, like the "Huffer in Pipes colors" that supposedly came out in Greece and also came out in a different set of "Pipes colors" in Mexico... I'm gonna leave some time for y'all to comment and cogitate on it before I actually start adding these things all over the place.

:The difference between the ''Classics'' Starscream template and the ''Universe'' Sunstreaker template is simple—if there has been a significant change to the body besides just a new head tooling and accessories, then there is a new group to sort by body style.

What I'd really love would be little flag emoji to represent the relevant nations - Argentina for Antex, Peru for Lynsa, etc. We could waive these for Hasbro's worldwide releases I suppose.

== Changing format of some older pages. ==

Hey everyone, it had been discussed earlier today on Discord that the G1 [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] page is in need of a complete revamp. Suggestions had been made to archive the original format of the page to keep the joke alive and available for those who still wish to see and admire it, while starting fresh in our standard character page format. It is nothing against the running joke per se, it mainly boils down to the rhyming starting to take its toll on the information that the page is supposed to present to readers of the wiki. I myself, before joining the wiki and even now, always avoid the page like a plague, as it is hard to navigate and actually obtain any information from, which goes against what the page is intended to do.

That doesn't mean all of the rhyming has to go, it is still welcome in the opening paragraph and image captions, but general consensus on Discord is that it could do to be more informative. I also believe that the long-running joke is starting to take its toll on editors adding any new additions while trying to keep with the rhyming format and quite frankly, I believe that to be another downfall to the article since the wiki is made to be as accessible as possible for anyone to edit and it just adds another layer of complications. I bring this up here rather than on the talk page as it has also been suggested that the same be done to G1 [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]]'s page too for the same reasons.

I advice that you please make these discussions on the individual talk pages: '''[[Talk:Wheelie (G1)]]''' and '''[[Talk:Rewind (G1)]]'''.

Feel free to bring up any other pages worth making similar changes to '''here''' as there is bound to be others that could do to be looked over too.

:'''Just a quick follow up after reading back over what was said on Discord:''' We could possibly keep the pages as is and keep them as the featured articles they are currently, while having a suite with a link to a more informative version, therefore keeping the jokes and also having a variant that actually makes "sense".

== All the human collaborators should have a page ==

The Human collaborators is the concept of [[Human]]s being allied with the [[Decepticon]]s. It exists since the beginning of the brand, brought to existence in the [[Megatron's Master Plan]] Duology from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Transformers G1 cartoon]] and appeared for the last time in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]], With DOTM 10th year anniversary on the horizon, i'm thinking of creating a page for all them. In fact i'm creating a sandbox about it and i want to know if its a good idea to do that or not. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 14:21, 18 January 2021 (EST)
:Our existing "Category:Humans" is in pretty bad shape. It's divided into dozens of subcategories already so that the "main" listing is nowhere near a single comprehensive list. Instead people went and added subgroups like "Classified Humans" and "Military Humans" and many many etc. From an educational resource perspective it would probably be more useful to streamline the category we already have. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 14:41, 18 January 2021 (EST)

:::Decepticon human collaborators have been around a lot longer than just season 2 of G1. [[Doctor Arkeville]] was actually the first Decepticon ally. Even then, characters collaborating with Decepticons had been around in the years in between G1 and DOTM. the Marvel G1 comics, Dreamwave comics, IDW comics and such, more than likely had a lot of instances where that was a thing too (I'm not too familiar with a lot of those comics). ''Animated'' had some of the human villains working with the Decepticons on some occassions too.

:::As for the human collaborators page, I don't feel that a separate page needs to be made, there was never a collective group or organization of them, just occassional cases of random people being told what to do while more or less being held at gun point, or on some occassions, given the sweet promise of world domination. I think if anything, Thylacine's idea of making a subcategory would probably be your best bet, but a better name would be "Decepticon allied humans" or something. As far as I'm aware, there is no page for Autobot allied humans (which there are crap tons of), so there is really no point in making one for the Decepticon allies. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 18:10, 18 January 2021 (EST)
:::: It most certainly is not "my idea to make a new subcategory." We have too many subcategories already.

:There really is little to no point to a page for this concept; a category will do. That'd just be opening up for countless list-pages of random Things People In Fiction Sometimes Do, and this wiki is historically not keen on list pages. There's a lot of stuff characters do/are that don't have pages just because the concept is too vague, too broad, or too obvious that a page would not actually provide any new information (or comedy potential) on how its use within ''Transformers'' fiction is different from the immediately obvious. There's no page for "ninjas" (that just links to the Category), but "Cyber-Ninja Corps", a very specifically-defined group of ninjas, does get a page.
:And... look, not to sound mean, but... if you have no idea how a big major overhauling project might be done, maybe you should leave that task to someone else. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 18:40, 18 January 2021 (EST)

:Besides "bad guys" like Shawn Berger or Doctor Arkeville, does Spike count when he went nuts as Autobot Spike and used Megatron to fire on the Autobots? Or do [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] count when the Autobots had a truce with the Decepticons against a [[Dark Star|cosmically-powered Starscream]]? Or take [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Skywarp]]: he joined G.I.Joe and worked with them. Does that make all of G.I. Joe human collaborators? I hope not. If someone has to think this hard about who actually belongs to a category, it will actually clutter up the wiki instead of clarify relationships. Everything that ''could'' be grouped doesn't necessarily benefit from a page or category. It may be worth noting briefly ''on individual character pages'' about some characters' tendencies to work with Decepticons.

::Coming up with the answer to your question is the bulk of the task itself. It's a lot of work and there's no immediately obvious and clear approach.

:::I honestly think that is the ''opposite'' of what we need. The first thing to be done after streamlining should not be the addition of more subcategories. The point has been made that there are too many human subcategories already, and I agree. You seem very intent on specifically adding information about Decepticon-allied humans. Keep in mind that this is not an official faction. This is effectively like creating a category about "Humans With Yellow Boots and Blue Pants and Hard Hats". Yes, that group exists, but unless it's very funny, we don't need it. Going forward, I recommend focusing on contributing to what the wiki lacks (say, by adding information on our pages with stubs) instead of searching for differences without distinction.

== Micro-Sized ==

Hey all, was wondering if we should make a page/archive for the Mini-Con/Micro-Sized profiles from the Collectors' Club website and magazine?

They seem to be rather important pieces of fiction for a lot of those Mini-Cons and I feel we should have some form of proper write ups or a proper link to archives of the profiles themselves at the very least. Half the character pages have the profiles summed up in brief opening paragraphs but some people (me included) may want to read some of the online profiles which the Collectors' Club website doesn't appear to have anymore.

Just an idea I thought might be interesting to look into. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 20:04, 31 January 2021 (EST)

:Yeah, but... is it legal for us to archive that material? I honestly don't know what the current status is of fiction produced under FP (or 3H, for that matter). Does Hasbro "own" it? Does Brian Savage? Does anybody? [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] ([[User talk:Hooper X|talk]]) 12:48, 24 February 2021 (EST)

== Reducing negative ''Energon'' episode notes. ==

Alrighty, since the wiki has been taking a pretty neutral approach to things over recent years and we had already decided on reducing excessive sarcasm and negativity to the ''Energon'' cartoon page, I feel the episode pages should probably follow suit.

I'm just started my annual rewatch of the show and I'm going to add, subtract and alter things like I did in the ''Armada'' episode pages after each watch. I'm already making a start on removing pieces of sarcasm listed as "trivia" that ''really'' doesn't need to be highlighted and is only there for the sake of bashing the show.

That being said, errors, plotholes, continuity issues etc. are fine, but the "pain count" sections probably should either be removed or be relabelled as "stock phrase count" or something along those lines. I'm personally still alright with the caption jokes and quote jokes, but the excessive "This character sucks because the show sucks." is definitely a no go.

After a disscussion on Discord, it had also been suggested that we list common stock phrases from the Unicron Trilogy on a separate page much like we do for [[Furmanism]]s. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 03:25, 2 March 2021 (EST)
:Before anyone goes to the trouble of creating an entire "Energonisms" page, it is worth examining whether the series is well-known or well-liked enough for that to be worthwhile. Furman wrote hundreds of comics & scripts across multiple series and about 25 years; his repeat phrases are more noticeable and important. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 07:36, 2 March 2021 (EST)
::I still disagree with the concept of "Furmanisms". They're just pulpy phrasing. It's hardly unique to him. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 09:14, 2 March 2021 (EST)
:::I'll be honest, the Furmanisms page is filled with rather common oldschool comicbook phrases that aren't ''really'' unique to him or ''Transformers'' for that matter. You can almost guarantee that those phrases have been used in even older comics from the 60s, like ''X-Men'' for example. Hell, they've possibly been used in material even older than that. I generally stay clear of anything that makes references to that page, because it is full of blurred lines. Perhaps this should also be a topic for discussion. In terms of Energonisms, I personally don't agree with it either, but I thought I better bring it up for those who aren't on Discord.
:::My main concern right now is whether we should remove the "pain count" sections from the episode pages. As I've been binging the show and updating episode info, I've been working around them, but they still hold a heavy tone of negativity while everything else around them has been altered to the neutral tone. I've tried to think of a better title to use in its place, but the further through the episode pages I go, the more excessively negative it seems to get. Yes there are a ''lot'' of stock phrases used, but if people start to include other ones that haven't already been listed—and there are quite a few—pretty soon we're gonna end up with entire dub scripts for the episodes listed lol. As for stock footage counts, it's common in practically every Japanese ''Transformers'' series (From BWII onwards at the very least), so listing them is just another example of adding things to bash the show. Our [[Transformers Wiki:Captions#Captions and jokes we're sick of|captions/jokes policies]] also state that ''Energon'' jokes are pretty much frowned upon by today's wiki standards.
:::As I am writing this post, it has also occured to me that ''Cybertron''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s episode pages have pain counts that follow the same outline too (listing stock phrases and stock footage), so perhaps we should look into removing those for the same reasons. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 06:11, 5 March 2021 (EST)
::::I feel it should be pointed out that many of the stock phrases from Energon ("Uh...", "Huh?" "Let's do it!", "Wait up!" etc.) were first used by the same dubbing team back in Armada. If any new page is going to be created for those phrases, it's only fair that those from Armada (and probably from Cybertron too) be included since those phrases are not exclusive to Energon even if it's in that show that they're the worst offender. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 09:58, 5 March 2021 (EST)
:::::I agree with removing the pain counts and overall negativity from the UT-related pages, while I disagree with creating the "Energonisms" page because that would neuter our efforts to remove said negativity.

::::::I don't think there's a need for Energonisms, but I think Furmanisms need to stay based solely on the fact that they're a known factor and both Furman and other creators have leaned into their existence in self-referential and parodical ways, enough that it makes sense to have a page explaining them. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 13:34, 5 March 2021 (EST)
:::::::It's funny you say that, Fritz. ''Armada'' was the first place to use the stock phrases, yet the episode pages were absent of any pain counts or any real negativity in general. As for ''Cybertron'', listing the pain counts on those pages seems to hold the same weight as the negativity I pruned down on the main ''Armada'' page a couple of weeks ago. They seem to be an outdated case of critisms that were made when the show first came out. In my experience, ''Cybertron'', while still not perfect, still remains the pretty widely enjoyed out of the three shows among the Facebook groups and stuff I've been in.

:::::::At the end of the day, I don't feel it's really the wiki's place to tell people how to feel towards something. It's one thing to mention issues and critisms, but when you're pushing personal opinions onto the reader, making them steer clear of the show entirely instead of letting them form their own opinions, it doesn't really help keep the history of the brand we're supposed to be documenting alive. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 15:28, 5 March 2021 (EST)
::::::::The keyword there is "outdated." Energon is from 2003 and the "pain count" stuff was probably all written in 2007 or so. In 2021 no one is creating canon with ironic joking references to a hypothetical Energonism, and even if they did, the whole source of complaint is that the dialogue is so interchangeable and empty that if someone were to say it in a future series it would probably just be seen as unrelated new bad dialogue. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 15:44, 5 March 2021 (EST)

::::::::::Totally agree with you there, Fanofcoolstuff27. I watched ''Energon'' and ''Cybertron'' for the first time just last year and actually enjoyed the latter a lot. At the time I felt that the pain counts were harming my own enjoyment of reading the wiki after watching each episode and I even consider removing them by myself. So I'm glad this is finally up for debate and other people are agreeing on getting rid of them. --[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 16:27, 5 March 2021 (EST)
I think this kind of went off on a big digression about "Energonisms" and personal liking of the series, but I think this is enough consensus to reduce the negativity of the Energon articles. (The episodes could use better summaries as well.) [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 16:35, 5 March 2021 (EST)
:The pain counts can go, but I'm 100% against removing the overal tone of negativity. Like it or not, Energon is a dull show with an objectively mediocre dub, and consistently remains the most disliked of any televised Transformers cartoon. To try and soften that in the Energon articles almost feels like a disservice to 20 years of near-universal fan rejection. (And the reason we say not to make Energon jokes on the caption page was because they were getting excessive across the whole wiki. That said, while other pages shouldn't be saddled with such jokes, there's no reason to sugarcoat things on the Energon articles themselves.) -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:41, 5 March 2021 (EST)
::Agreed, and definitely on that last point. Energon is garbage in any language, and I feel we do a disservice to act like it's not a rushed, cheap, ugly job by the lowest bidder that runs out of plot halfway through its episode count and has to start over even BEFORE you take into account the first-draft English dub. And yes, the captions page remark about it and many other objects of derision is mostly about the ''unoriginality'' and ''over-use'' of adding ''new'' joke captions about it, not "it's wrong". --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 17:35, 5 March 2021 (EST)
:::See, my issue here isn't neccessarily the negativity itself, more the overuse of it. I've already taken it upon myself to remove silly pieces of "trivia" that aren't trivia at all and are more just an attempt to bash a bad show. You can mention all of it's flaws and whatever, there is no problem with that. It's the constant nitpickiness that is added, when just about ''every'' Transformers show has more or less the ''exact'' same issues. The line between openly pointing out issues in one show and turning a blind eye to those same issues in other shows is ''very'' blurred.

:::Given our recent response on Discord towards the removal of "Pain counts" from the Energon episode pages, perhaps we could at least settle with a mid-ground compromise. My proposal: The removal of stock footage from the counts. It's not exclusive to Energon at all, so listing them as a ''bad'' thing builds a pretty poor case. Yeah, there is a ''lot'' of stock footage use, but the show is to sell Transformers toys, so highlighting the brand's main attraction is hardly a crime. BWII, BWN, RID/Car Robots, Robot Masters, Armada/Legends of the Microns, Energon/Super Link, Cybertron/Galaxy Force, Animated, Go!, RID 2015 and I wanna say Cyberverse (?) are all guilty of using stock footage. Only about three of them are English-speaking original shows, while the rest of them are Japanese shows. It's practically been a tradition to include stock footage transformations and combinations at this point. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 18:31, 5 March 2021 (EST)

== Voice actor categorization ==

I really don't like the idea of putting voice actors into company categories based on shows or games they've appeared in (see [[:Category:Activision]] or [[:Category:DreamWorks]] for example). This seems a little disingenuous, considering that none of these are employees of these companies, but rather freelance. Furthermore, this doesn't include all the different shows' production companies, but rather more like picking and choosing at random. If you were to categorize them at all, I would either do so based on the studio the series was recorded at (such as Voicebox or Studiopolis) or make new "(show) voice cast" categories. (But honestly, my first choice would be to not do so at all.) -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 00:17, 6 March 2021 (EST)

== Energon Terrorcons ==

I'm having issues with the way we have the ''Energon'' Terrorcon pages currently set up. The pages have a lot of misinformation being spread within them and between them and I'm not entirely sure how we should handle it.

The show presents three different colour variants/breeds/races of flying Terrorcon: Divebomb, a "Stealth Divebomb" (which is the Command Ravage colour palette placed on Divebomb), and the Shadowhawk Cosmo Type/Blackout colour scheme. I've just gone and removed the stealth colour scheme write ups from Blackout's page as they are clearly not the same thing and it would fall under potential citogenesis.

My proposal for this issue would be to move "Blackout (Terrorcon)" to "Shadowhawk Cosmo Type" and just make mention of the Energon dubs' cock up with the names as a note or that an individual Terrorcon named "Blackout" is also among them. Much like "Command Ravage", "Shadowhawk Cosmo Type" is also an official name and it's my understanding that if Hasbro names aren't available, we generally opt for the Takara names instead (e.g. [[Mirror]]), and because "Blackout" is referred to as an individual rather than a race/breed, it would be hard to use that as an offical English-language designation. I also don't feel that there would be enough to warrant an individual Shadowhawk Cosmo Type page and a Blackout page, as they'd contain most of the same information.

Secondly, I'm wondering if the stealth decoed Divebombs warrant their own page under a nickname title? e.g. [[Watchdog (G1)]]. They are clearly a different breed to the two aforementioned races and with the Command Ravages being present alongside them, it only seems fair to mark them on a separate page too. If others agree, I was thinking maybe "Stealth Divebomb" or something, as the title—unless ''Super Link'' has a better term used in the episode?

Thirdly, and the least important of noting on this list of issues: The Planet Q natives featured in the flashback (before the planet was destroyed) use both the Shadowhawk Cosmo Type model and a recoloured version of the Battle Ravage model in the same colours. Do these Battle Ravage redecos warrant a page or is a note on the respective mold pages enough for them?

Thank Primus that the Insecticons and Cruellocks don't suffer from this issue of multiple breeds/repaints presented on-screen.

Before, it was the Legends Constructicons. Now, it's Buster Optimus Prime.

I'm wondering if we should be really thorough and list them under "Currently only confirmed for Japan" until we see evidence to the contrary, or whether we should jump the gun and just assume that Hasbro will release them eventually. As the Constructicons example shows, that can be a little presumptuous, and the venue might turn out to be wrong. They were originally listed under "Legends", and then Hasbro said they will be a store exclusive.

Now, Buster Optimus Prime is slated by Takara for a higher price than the original ROTF Leader Prime. Either Hasbro will gut a lot of the accessories, or they will release him as an exclusive, or... Anyway, any of that is pure speculation, and I'd prefer to have the toy list reflect information that is actually known (i.e. "only confirmed for Japan"), not speculation.--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 03:45, 6 July 2009 (EDT)

:''Optimus Prime is the [[Autobot]] leader from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Movieprime meettheautobots.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Hello, pretty bird. GIVE ME YOUR FACE.]]

'''Optimus Prime''' is the leader of the [[Autobot]]s. Long ago, he was the humble leader of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s science division, which studied the [[AllSpark]], and were protected by [[Lord High Protector]] [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s military. When Megatron was corrupted by [[The Fallen]], Optimus discovered that he was the last of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], hidden away when The Fallen destroyed their lineage. In response to Megatron's attempts to seize the AllSpark and conquer other worlds, Optimus assumed his proper [[Prime (rank)|title]] and rallied the Autobots to stand against the [[Decepticon]]s.

As obsessively as Megatron strives to achieve his objective, Optimus is equally as dedicated to stopping him, even at the cost of his life, his world, and—if necessary—his own people. It was on his order that the AllSpark was jettisoned into space, dooming Cybertron to a slow death and his people to a nomadic life. The sacrifices he has made weigh heavily on his [[spark]], but they must be done, for there is no other choice. He knows the ambitions that lurk in Megatron's spark, and they must never see the light of day. Lives must be kept free from the threat of Megatron's tyranny, no matter the cost. This obsession with the defeat of Megatron has robbed Optimus of some of his early idealism. This has created a certain ruthlessness beneath his otherwise honest and caring personality. Prime is not one for second chances and is willing to consider any action that might lead to victory, short of directly sacrificing those he cares about.

Optimus Prime and his Autobots were forced to depart their homeworld of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] thousands of years ago, after the life-giving [[AllSpark]] was lost to the far reaches of space. In the year 2007, having received word from [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] that the AllSpark was on the planet [[Earth]], Optimus brought his troops to the small, blue world. After descending through Earth's atmosphere in his [[transition form]], Optimus [[Trans-scan|scanned]] a passing truck, then quickly learned the planet's languages via the [[internet]]. Meeting up with Bumblebee, Prime and his men were introduced to [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]], with whom Prime shared their history and their reason for being on Earth.

[[File:TF2007 optimus truckmode.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.5|Like a Boss.]]

Prime and the Autobots returned with Sam to his house, so that he could obtain for them [[Archibald Witwicky's glasses|a family heirloom]]: a pair of [[glasses]] belonging to his ancestor [[Archibald Witwicky]], which contained the location of the AllSpark encoded across its lenses. Prime had his troops wait outside while Sam and Mikaela searched for the glasses, but the Autobot leader's thunderous footsteps, clumsy attempts to hide, and general impatience made the whole experience quite a trial. Nevertheless, the Autobots managed to keep themselves hidden from Sam's parents long enough for Sam to find the glasses—at which point, the forces of [[Sector Seven]] arrived to take Sam and Mikaela into custody. Prime intercepted the S7 convoy, tearing the roof off the SUV containing the two kids and demanding that the organization's director [[Seymour Simmons]] release them. Sector Seven back-up soon arrived, however, forcing Prime to hide beneath a bridge, carrying Sam and Mikaela on his shoulders. When the humans slipped, Bumblebee was forced to break cover to rescue them, which resulted in all three of them being captured by S7. Now in possession of the glasses which could tell him the location of the AllSpark, Optimus remorsefully left Bumblebee in Sector Seven's hands despite protestations from [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]; Prime was unwilling to employ the deadly force he knew would be required to save their teammate, as he knew humanity held the potential to be something great.

[[File:Movie2007 Prime sword.jpg|left|upright=1.85|thumb|Swiss army Prime.]]

Using the glasses to trace the AllSpark to the [[Hoover Dam]], Prime led his men there, but while they were en route, the [[Decepticon]]s who were also in hiding on the planet launched an attack on the facility. Sam, Mikaela, Bumblebee and the forces of Sector Seven met up with Prime and his team on the road, and they all headed for nearby [[Mission City]] to hide the AllSpark. On the way, Prime was attacked by [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]]; a brief but brutal struggle followed, concluding when Prime succeeded in decapitating the hate-filled Decepticon. Joining his men in the streets of Mission City, Prime was met in battle by his ancient enemy Megatron, who quickly proved to be superior both in physical strength and in terms of firepower. [[File:TF2007 optimus vs megatron.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.85|"You, Kakarot. I choose you to be the first of my victims."]] Realizing that there was only one way to end the fighting, Optimus instructed Sam to push the AllSpark into his chest if all hope seemed lost, which would merge the cube with his own [[spark]], destroying both it and himself. As it turned out, Sam did just the opposite, instead thrusting it into ''Megatron's'' chest, killing the Decepticon leader and destroying the AllSpark. Prime regretted the necessity of the action, but knew there had been no other choice.

Though the Decepticons were defeated and their bodies dumped in the [[Laurentian Abyss]] by the military, the loss of the AllSpark meant the Autobots were unable to use its power to restore their homeworld. Electing to remain on Earth, Prime sent a message into deep space to any surviving Autobots in the galaxy to come to join them there. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

[[File:ROTF optimus takes aim.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.8|''My OptiPrime don't want none<br>Unless he's got GUNS<br>Hun'']]

In the two years which followed the events in Mission City, Optimus Prime and the Autobots—including a group of new arrivals who had responded to Prime's message—became part of a Transformer/human military group called [[NEST]]. Together, they hunted down the remaining Decepticons in hiding across Earth. After a destructive clash with [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] in [[Shanghai]] went awry, Optimus was air-dropped onto a highway and crippled the Decepticon. Demolishor taunted Optimus about the mysterious force known as "[[The Fallen]]", who would rise again. Prime ensured that Demolishor would not be around to see it, as he unceremoniously executed him.

[[File:ROTF Prime blades.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|Optimus' rampage through the Hundred Acre Wood left no survivors.]]

When the Decepticon [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] stole the remaining shard of the AllSpark from NEST's [[Diego Garcia]] base, Optimus Prime arranged a meeting with Sam Witwicky, who had since left home to go to college, hoping for the boy's help. Sam, unfortunately, was presently focused on having some semblance of a normal life, and was not receptive Optimus's pleas, but Optimus feared that the choice to be involved would soon be taken out of Sam's hands. This soon proved true when Megatron—resurrected by the AllSpark shard—abducted Sam to draw out the wisdom of the AllSpark that was hidden within the human's mind. Optimus and Bumblebee ambushed the Decepticons in the [[Broadwater Metal Works|abandoned industrial complex]] where Sam was being held and managed to whisk the boy away, but Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] gave chase, resulting in a ferocious three-on-one battle between Prime and the Decepticons in the depths of the nearby forest. Prime held his own, even managing to kill Grindor, but the underhanded Megatron was able to impale him on his pincer-blade and blast him open with point-blank shot. Although the rest of the Autobots soon arrived and drove off Megatron and Starscream, Optimus Prime was [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|dead]].

[[File:ROTF optimus dead body.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.8|This is what happens when you get close to [[Stephanie Sheh|Nui Harime]].]]

Prime's body was brought back to Diego Garcia, but was soon covertly transported to [[Egypt]] by [[William Lennox]] and [[Robert Epps]] when they got word from Sam that he had discovered a possible means of restoring the Autobot leader to life: the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. In the midst of a battle between the Autobots and The Fallen's Decepticons in the Egyptian desert, Sam plunged the Matrix into Optimus's chest, and his gamble proved successful, as Optimus Prime lived again. To help Prime defeat The Fallen and destroy his [[Star Harvester|sun-harvesting weapon]] hidden within the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]], the turncoat Decepticon [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] sacrificed his life, entreating Prime to use his parts to gain "a power he had never known". [[File:ROTF movie Powered-Up Optimus Prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|I'm bringing sexy back.]] [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] transplanted Jetfire's remains onto Prime's body, upgrading him into a heavily-armed, flight-capable powerhouse. Prime immediately took flight and disabled the harvester, after which he engaged The Fallen in battle. Megatron attempted to intervene, but Optimus overpowered his old enemy and used his own fusion cannon to shoot half his face off. Resuming his fight with The Fallen, Optimus tore the ancient Decepticon's face off, and when the villain attempted to flee, Prime punched through his abdomen and crushed his spark, finally killing him.

On the return voyage home, Optimus thanked Sam for saving his life, as the boy thanked the Autobot leader for believing in him. Following this, Optimus Prime sent another transmission into space, detailing recent events so that the pasts of both races would be remembered, and also declaring that Humanity and the Autobots would face the future together. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

[[File:DOTM optimus armored weapons platform.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.8|Chevron seven locked.]]
Three years after the defeat of The Fallen, the Autobots and NEST took to dealing with human conflicts in the absence of the Decepticons. Optimus's vehicle mode was now complemented by a [[Armored Weapons Platform|large transformable trailer]], containing an armory of various weapons and flight equipment. While investigating a tip that a piece of Cybertronian technology could be found in the ruins of the [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant]], Optimus and his NEST allies were attacked by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his pet [[Driller]], who attempted to steal the component. Optimus drove off Shockwave and his monstrous "pet", but was perturbed to discover that the recovered Cybertronian tech was a piece of the ancient Autobot spacecraft known as the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]''—flagship of his mentor and predecessor, [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], and believed destroyed during the war on Cybertron millennia beforehand.
[[File:DOTM optimus with trailer.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.8|"Callin' all trucks, this here's the duck. We're about to go a-huntin' bear."]]
Demanding an explanation from National Intelligence Director [[Charlotte Mearing]], Prime learned from both her and astronaut [[Buzz Aldrin]] that humanity had discovered the ruins of the ''Ark'' on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] in the 1960s. Travelling to the moon with Ratchet aboard the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'', Prime discovered the comatose form of Sentinel within the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crash vault, along with a small fraction of the special cargo the ''Ark'' had been carrying—five [[pillar]]s capable of opening a [[space bridge]]. Optimus brought his old mentor back to Earth and used the Matrix of Leadership to reactivate him; showing him the peace and beauty of Earth, Optimus expressed his willingness to cede leadership back to Sentinel once more, but Sentinel refused.

[[File:DOTMSentinelOptimus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.8|Sentinel, can you put that sword somewhere else so we can talk?]]

Unfortunately, it would soon transpire that Sentinel was in league with Megatron, when he murdered Ironhide and brought the pillars to [[Washington, D.C.]]. A shocked Optimus confronted his mentor at the National Mall reflecting pool, pleading with him to stop, but Sentinel was unmoved, and opened a space bridge through which at 200 Decepticon troops launched a vicious assault on the city. In the chaos that followed, Optimus tried to fight Sentinel; Sentinel defeated him, but spared his life in the belief he would come around to his side eventually. Naturally, Optimus refused, which led to Sentinel publicly denouncing him and his Autobots as rebels, falsely leading humanity to believe that their planet would be spared if they exiled Optimus's team into space aboard the ''Xantium''. Appearing to willingly comply, Optimus suspected Decepticon treachery—and he was right, as Starscream fired upon the ''Xantium'' soon after launch, destroying it. To all watching, it appeared Optimus and the Autobots had been destroyed, but in actuality, Prime had had his men hide within one of the ship's booster rockets, which had detached before the vessel's destruction.
[[File:DOTM optimus with flight tech.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.8|"That's my secret, Captain. I ''always'' want faces."]]
Optimus's team headed for [[Chicago]], which had been conquered by the Decepticons in their absence, and arrived just in time to rescue Sam, Epps and a team of former NEST soldiers from a Decepticon [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighter ship]]. Venturing into the heart of the city, the Autobots were ambushed by Shockwave and the Driller, and Prime was separated from his trailer in the brawl. Leaving his Autobots to battle on without him, Prime quickly recovered the trailer and donned the flight tech within, which he used slay the Driller. Unfortunately, he was then blasted by Shockwave and wound up tangled in the cables of a construction crane, temporarily taking him out of the fight.

By the time the [[Wrecker]]s cut Optimus free, Sentinel had activated his space bridge and begun teleporting Cybertron itself into Earth's [[Solar System]]. Prime went on a rampage, scything through the Decepticons on the main battlefield on his way to a final confrontation with Shockwave; after killing the cyclopean Decepticon, he used Shockwave's own cannon to blast the space bridge's control pillar, stalling Cybertron's transportation. [[File:DOTM optimus executes sentinel.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.8|Hey, you guys remember when Optimus Prime used to crack jokes and play basketball? Good times.]] Optimus then demanded that Sentinel face him; his one-time mentor complied, and the pair engaged one another in a battle which Optimus initially dominated, but in which Sentinel eventually got the upper hand when he sliced off Prime's right arm. Before Sentinel could deliver a killing blow, however, Megatron himself intervened, attacking the elder Prime from behind and heavily damaging him. Megatron proposed a truce to Optimus, wishing only to be in charge of the Decepticons again; Optimus's response was to plunge his energon axe into Megatron's head and tear it from his shoulders, killing his eternal foe once more. The damaged and helpless Sentinel begged for mercy, claiming that all he ever wanted was their race's survival, but Optimus refused, claiming Sentinel didn't betray the Autobots, but rather ''himself.'' With bitter regret, Optimus executed his treacherous master with Megatron's shotgun. With Cybertron now apparently destroyed by the deactivation of the space bridge, Prime and the Autobots accepted Earth as their new home, and Optimus declared that the Autobots would never forsake the defense of the planet or its people. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

[[File:AoE-junkeroptimus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|Optimus' years of hard drinking and wild partying had finally caught up with him.]]

Following the battle in Chicago and the dissolution of NEST, the US government continued granting Optimus and the other Autobots asylum on Earth, in spite of the negative reputation the Autobots had gained. The White House believed that [[Harold Attinger]] was working alongside Optimus Prime to hunt down the last of the Decepticon fugitives; what the President didn't know was that Attinger's [[Cemetery Wind]] taskforce had began hunting down Autobots and terminating them. Learning of the betrayal, Optimus broadcast an urgent message to the Autobots on Earth, ordering his troops to cut off all contact with humans and go into hiding. Optimus successfully evaded Cemetery Wind for several years, but was eventually pinned down in [[Mexico]], caught in an ambush set by Attinger's lieutenant [[James Savoy]] and their Cybertronian ally, the bounty hunter [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]. Though badly wounded, Prime threw off his pursuers by scanning a dilapidated cab-over truck, and fled north to Paris, [[Texas]], where he hid in an abandoned movie theater and succumbed to stasis lock induced by his grevious injuries.

[[File:AOE-injuredoptimus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.8|Cade Yeager was able to rebuild Optimus in a BARN! [[Iron Man|With a BOX OF SCRAPS!]]]]

Prime remained inert until aspiring roboticist [[Cade Yeager]] visited the theater for salvage. Hoping to strip the seemingly ordinary truck and sell the parts, he purchased Optimus and towed him home to his workshop, whereupon his examination of the truck's unusual inner workings led him to realize he had discovered a Transformer. Though Cade's daughter [[Tessa Yeager|Tessa]] and partner [[Lucas Flannery|Lucas]] wanted to turn Optimus in for a cash reward, Cade argued against it, wanting to increase his technical expertise by studying Optimus's systems further. To prove that the Transformer was "dead" and unable to retaliate, Cade opened the truck up and discovered a live missile from the truck's inner workings. When the missile was removed, Optimus suddenly awoke and transformed into robot mode. Confused and disoriented, Optimus threatened the humans, but Cade was able to calm him down, and offered to help repair him as best he could. Before he could get very far, Savoy's forces stormed the farm, forcing Optimus to hide underneath the barn, but when Savoy threatened Tessa's life, Optimus burst from concealment to aid his new human friends. A running battle with Lockdown ensued, culminating in an abandoned factory, where Prime regrouped with the Yaegers and Tessa's boyfriend [[Shane Dyson]] and escaped.

[[File:AOE optimus new altmode.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.8|Cemetery Wind would never think to go after a red and blue truck covered in flames!]]

After confirming that they had shaken their pursuers, Optimus summoned the surviving Autobots to a rendezvous point in the desert, scanning a passing truck on the way to adopt a new alternate mode and repair his injuries. Reuniting with Bumblebee, [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]], and [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]], an angry and embittered Prime announced his intent to break his long-held vow and kill the humans responsible for the Autobots' suffering. With Cade's help, the Autobots learned that the bodies of their fallen comrades were being taken to [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated]] in [[Chicago]], where they were being melted down for [[Living metal|raw material]] to produce KSI's own Transformers. Enraged to learn that Ratchet had recently suffered this gruesome fate, Optimus led the Autobots in a furious attack on KSI, but stopped short of killing company head [[Joshua Joyce]] when the human shamed him by declaring the mankind had advanced past the Transformers. [[File:AOE optimus reformatted.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.6|I need a face. '''AND I'M LOOKIN' AT YOURS!''']] The Autobots pulled out, but Attinger ordered KSI creations "Galvatron" and [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]] to be sent after them; Optimus faced off against Galvatron, but before the battle could conclude, Lockdown shot down Optimus and dragged him away.

Imprisoned aboard Lockdown's ship, Optimus learned that the bounty hunter had been hired by the Transformers' mysterious [[Creator (AOE)|creators]] to round up their renegade creations, starting with the ancient "knights" to whom the ship had once belonged, a group that Optimus himself had apparently once been part of. Optimus was soon rescued by his fellow Autobots, and they escaped by detaching the section of the ship they were in from the main body without Lockdown's notice. After the team regrouped, [[Brains]] revealed that Galvatron was, in fact, a rebuilt Megatron, and was planning to detonate a cyberforming [[seed]]—given to Attinger by Lockdown—in [[Hong Kong]]. Though Prime lacked a strong reason to defend humankind after his recent experiences, Cade petitioned him to have faith in, if not humanity itself, then in their potential to be better.

[[File:AOEOptimusRidingGrimlock.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.8|I have a giant robot dinosaur. Your argument is invalid.]]

Arriving in Hong Kong, the Autobots' stolen ship was shot down by Galvatron's forces and crashed in the Wulong Valley. In need of reinforcements, Optimus took a shield and sword from the ship's armory and freed the other captive knights aboard the ship, the [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobots]], and proposed that they let him lead them into battle. Their leader [[Grimlock (AOE)|Grimlock]] was not receptive to this idea, and challenged Optimus, but the Autobot leader triumphed over him, and offered Grimlock freedom under his leadership, or death under his foot. Grimlock conceded defeat, and allowed Optimus to ride him into battle in his massive ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' mode. The Autobot-Dinobot alliance decimated Galvatron's army, forcing the Decepticon to retreat, but just when it seemed the day was won, Lockdown returned. Optimus disabled Lockdown's ship's tractor beam in order to allow his comrades to pull back while he faced the bounty hunter alone; during the course of their one-on-one fight, Optimus was forced to briefly break away to save Cade's life by shooting Attinger. [[File:OptimusPrimeleavesAOE.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.8| ''So if you care to find me'' <br> ''Look to the western sky!'' <br> ''As someone told me lately'' <br> ''Everyone deserves a chance to fly!'']] Unfortunately, this distraction allowed Lockdown to impale Optimus on his own sword, immobilizing him, but Bumblebee and Cade intervened to hold off Lockdown while Shane and Tessa freed Optimus, enabling him to finally kill Lockdown. Optimus set off one of Lockdown's grenades to finish off Galvatron's remaining drones, and flew the humans to safety as it detonated.

After releasing the Dinobots from his command, Optimus prepared to depart into space, to both remove the seed from Earth, and to investigate the mystery of his creators, who still had a price on his head. His innate faith in humanity reignited by Cade and his family and friends, Optimus entreated the humans to think of one of the stars as his soul, and instructed the Autobots to guard the Yaegers, their allies, and all the humans they could.

As he left the planet, Optimus sent a message to the creators: leave Earth alone, because he was coming for them... {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

Optimus's decision proved a foolish one, however, as he exhausted his Energon in the vicinity of [[Jupiter]] and fell into [[stasis lock]], drifting through space. When [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] entered the Sol system, its gravitational pull affected Optimus and caused him to crash land on his homeworld, its atmosphere reviving him. Optimus awoke and despaired at the state of Cybertron. It was at this point that [[Quintessa (TLK)|Quintessa]] made herself known to Optimus, claiming to be his creator.

Quintessa accused Optimus of destroying Cybertron, but Optimus protested that Megatron had started the Great War. Quintessa however, retorted Optimus was responsible for Cybertron's state as he had been the one to launch the [[AllSpark]].

With the Prime in chains, Quintessa explained her plan to him and why she needed him. She revealed to him that the Earth had formed around the body of [[Unicron]] and that she wanted Optimus to retrieve [[Staff of Merlin|her staff]] from the [[Guardian Knight|Knights of Iacon]] on Earth. With the staff, Quintessa would drain the life out of Unicron and use his energy to revive Cybertron. Brainwashing Optimus into "'''Nemesis Prime'''", she sent him back to Earth to complete the task.

[[File:TLK Optimus confronts Viviane.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Happy birthday, Kryptonian. I give you oblivion.]]
Nemesis Prime arrived back on Earth in the Knights' ship and slew two of their number before demanding that [[Viviane Wembly]] hand over the staff. His former ally Cade Yeager tried to reason with Optimus but Nemesis Prime reasserted his identity and claimed to fight only for Cybertron and its people. Once Viviane had handed over the staff, [[Santos]] (futilely) opened fire on Nemesis, who swatted the [[Transformers Reaction Force|TRF]] aside with his [[Quad Barrel Shotgun|shotgun]] and exited the ship. On the surface, Nemesis was assaulted by Bumblebee, whom the Prime easily bested in combat before the sound of Bumblebee's true voice allowed Optimus Prime to return.

[[File:TLKOptimusVsBumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|It was at this point that Optimus' obsession with faces went too far.]]
The moment was short lived, as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] flew in to steal the staff and the Knights arrived to slay Optimus for serving "Quintessa the Deceiver". While Optimus offered no resistance, viewing his execution as proper atonement, Cade managed to activate the [[Talisman (TLK)|Talisman]] and call off the Knights. Optimus then allied with the Knights and they flew off in the [[Knight Ship]] to confront Megatron and Quintessa on Cybertron. Arriving on [[Dragonstorm]], Optimus finally destroyed Infernocus by [[decapitation|decapitating]] all six Infernocons in a single mighty swing of his sword, reminding them that he is Optimus Prime. [[File:TLK Optimus decapitates Infernocons.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"Yeeart!"]]

In the [[ignition chamber]], Optimus engaged his old foe once again who tried to reignite their old friendship and offered Optimus the chance to stand beside them as they restored Cybertron. Optimus rebuked him, and was forced on the defensive before his fellow Autobots intervened and the Prime kicked Megatron out the side of the chamber.. Optimus then distracted Quintessa so Bumblebee could slay her when her defences were down as Vivian removed the staff, stopping Cybertron's destruction of Earth but leaving the two planets connected to one another. Optimus saved Cade and Vivian from falling to their death and, to the relief of their human allies, emerged from the destruction of the ignition chamber in his alternate mode with the two humans in his cab.

Despite the destruction of Earth being stopped, enough of Unicron's life force had been transmitted to Cybertron that it could again support its people. Optimus reflected that both humans and Cybertronians would have to work together to rebuild both their worlds before he sent out a call for all Autobots across the galaxy to return to Cybertron so they could begin rebuilding.

Leader of the Autobot rebels during the war for [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Optimus Prime took part in the final battle for Cybertron against the Decepticons. Though he dispatched numerous [[Seeker (Movie)|Seeker]]s in the fight, he soon concluded that the Autobots were on the brink of being overrun by the Decepticon advance. As the Autobot rearguard battled [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], Optimus explained to his troops that they would need to abandon Cybertron and regroup elsewhere in the galaxy, and as they headed to a nearby launchpad. Prime explained to his scout, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|B-127]], that he had selected [[Earth]] as the site of a new Autobot base, instructing him to reconnoiter the planet while he and the other refugees gathered Autobots throughout the galaxy to rendezvous at Earth.

As the other Autobots evacuated via escape pods, Optimus Prime stayed behind to delay any pursuit, leaping from the launchpad just as the Decepticons brought it down and fighting on alone. Soundwave confronted him, forcing Optimus to struggle briefly against Ravage. Though Optimus fought Ravage off, the distraction cost him his gun and allowed the Decepticons to surround him. Together, they advanced on the outnumbered and defenseless Autobot leader.

Prime was somehow able to escape the Decepticons and leave Cybertron; at some point afterwards, the Decepticons [[Shatter]] and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] fruitlessly attempted to interrogate [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] about Prime's whereabouts. What the Decepticons didn't know was that Prime had landed on Earth shortly before the other Autobots made planetfall, and adopted a cab-over truck mode as a terrestrial disguise. It was in this form that he met up with B-127—now calling himself "Bumblebee"—on the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] after Bumblebee and [[Charlie Watson]] parted ways.

That night, Prime and Bumblebee took refuge in a nearby forest, with Optimus thanking the scout for his efforts and commending his bravery as they watched more Autobot escape crafts descend to Earth. {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}

====''Ghosts of Yesterday''====
Before coming to Earth, Optimus Prime led the search for the AllSpark in the transport vessel, the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]''. In 1969, Earth-time, in an abandoned solar system, Prime and the crew discovered [[Ghost 1|a vessel]] of strangely Cybertronian design, which they pursued to a nearby planet. Prime dispatched Bumblebee to the surface to investigate the ship while he and the other Autobots battled Decepticons from the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]''; Prime personally took on and defeated [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], and [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]]. Contact having been lost with Bumblebee during the fight, Prime headed down to the planet to join him, where a joint attack by Starscream and the alien ship sent the two Autobots tumbling into a subterranean cavern network.

Fleeing an attack by [[Worm-thing|indigenous worm-creatures]], Optimus Prime and Bumblebee came across the alien vessel, which Prime deduced was trying to surrender. Lines of communication were opened, and Prime realized that Starscream had duped the little aliens into attacking him. However, the creatures, who called themselves "[[human]]s", explained that they held Megatron, whom they called the Ice Man, on their home world, [[Earth]]. Realizing the destruction Megatron would wreak upon the defenseless humans if he escaped, Prime vowed to see them return to their world to warn it.

Prime blasted a way out of the caverns, but on the way back to the ''Ark'', the Decepticons attacked again, and Prime found himself in the difficult position of fighting Starscream and protecting the human ship. Speared by Bonecrusher's tail, Optimus seemed doomed to perish at Starscream's hand until the humans interceded, opening fire on Starscream. The Decepticon destroyed the humans and their ship in retaliation, but Optimus Prime, inspired by their courage and sacrifice, resolved to locate Earth—and the AllSpark which he speculated had come to rest there—before the Decepticons did... and hopefully before Megatron came back online. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

====''The Veiled Threat''====

{{bigquote|I know Megatron. I know all of you. You would not have taken the AllSpark and left this world in peace. You would have subdued it and made slaves of its people. Even in the absence of the AllSpark, my conscience and that of my friends could not have allowed that.|Optimus Prime to [[Macerator (ROTF)|Macerator]]}}

Following the battle for the AllSpark in Mission City and the formation of NEST, Optimus and Lennox led a team of Autobots to investigate a Decepticon sighting in [[Zambia]]. They found a trap waiting for them, which resulted in Optimus being dragged over [[Victoria Falls]] by the Decepticon [[Macerator (ROTF)|Macerator]]; Prime saved himself by grabbing an outcropping and was hauled to safety by rookie Autobot [[Beachbreak]]'s tow line, but Starscream then killed Beachbreak in retaliation. Prime took the Autobot's death personally, regarding it as a failure of his leadership. The team proceeded to hunt down their Decepticons prey, and after a lengthy fight at the [[Kariba dam]], Optimus decapitated Macerator. The other Decepticons escaped however, and Optimus prevented Ironhide from firing after [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] for fear of harming nearby humans.

Another mission to [[Australia]] saw Optimus and his team spend days searching the outback for Decepticons, during which they discussed the possibility that the Decepticons might be hunting for energy to resurrect Megatron. Optimus doubted there was an energy source on the planet that could do so. They eventually encountered [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Trample]] and [[Tread]], three [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s mining for minerals. Optimus found Kickback's sonic charge weapon to be a challenge, but with some help from Lennox, killed the Decepticon.

The narrow streets of [[Rome]] proved a challenge for Optimus's truck mode to navigate when NEST travelled there to hunt down [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] and [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]]. After [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knockout]] dealt to the two Decepticons, a furious Starscream challenged Optimus to one-on-one combat in the nearby [[Colosseum]]. Naturally it was a trap — Starscream had allied himself with a human, [[Bruno Carrera]], and together they trapped Optimus in a pit and set Barricade on him. With the help of four humans, Optimus broke free, threw Barricade into the pit and sealed him there. He then had only to show his face outside to where Starscream was fighting Ironhide, Ratchet and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], and the would-be Decepticon leader fled. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

====''Classified''====
[[File:Tfc-battlemountain.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1]]

After the massive battle in Egypt and the defeat of The Fallen, NEST continued to hunt Decepticons around the Earth. When a trio of Decepticons
attacked the [[United States Air Force]] [[Nevada Test and Training Range]], Optimus Prime and Ironhide responded; Optimus attempted to talk [[Dropshot (Classified)|Dropshot]] into abandoning the Decepticon cause, but was forced to kill him when he attempted to kill some human soldiers. Likewise, when [[Bombshock (PCC)|Bombshock]] threatened to blow up some humans, Optimus and Ironhide took him down with a pincer movement they had practised during the war back on Cybertron, in the [[Battle of Polyhex]]. Returning to base, Optimus took part in a meeting of some generals, though he had to talk his way into doing so, as they were initially reluctant to include the aliens. Optimus disagreed that the Decepticons' target was [[Area 51]] and correctly deduced it to be [[Hawthorne Army Depot]]. When he arrived there with Ironhide, Bumblebee and Ratchet were already engaged in a battle with [[Reverb (ROTF)|Reverb]], however the Decepticon's personal [[force field]] made him impossible to hit and he did substantial damage to Prime. Once the shield was eliminated, Optimus defeated Reverb. Though Reverb asked Optimus to finish him off, Optimus instead took him prisoner. He also talked [[Marcus|General Marcus]] into allowing [[Kevin Bowman]] to join NEST. {{storylink|Transformers Classified: Switching Gears|Switching Gears}}

After supervising a test of a prototype [[Hyperdynamix]] tank, Optimus returned to the [[NEST Rapid Response Base]] for a briefing on a new Cybertronian storehouse detected at [[Battle Mountain]]. Before they had a chance to investigate, Optimus was forced to go defend Hyperdynamix against Decepticon attackers and was kept busy there trying to find the three aggressors. {{storylink|Transformers Classified: Battle Mountain|Battle Mountain}}

During a visit to Hyperdynamix Aerospace to learn about the [[Hyperdynamix Orbital Debris Disposal Initiative Station|HODDIS]] station intended to track incoming Cybertronians, and the satellite with which [[Alexander Porter|Dr. Porter]] intended to wipe out the Decepticons, incoming meteoroids were detected. Optimus and his team went to the crash site in [[Idaho]], and found themselves having to fight the giant [[robo-pede|robot centipedes]] which came out of the meteoroids. Despite suffering major damage, Optimus was able to dispatch two of them on his own. {{storylink|Transformers Classified: Satellite of Doom|Satellite of Doom}}

[[File:Foundation1 optimus and sentinel.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5|'''Optimus:''' Hey Sentinel! Wouldn't it be funny if you died on a ship, came back to life using the Matrix, betrayed your own kin, aided Megatron and killed my right-hand man? '''Sentinel:''' Heh, heh, heh. That'll never happen!]]

Optimus Prime was the last surviving descendant of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], orphaned and hidden away to protect him from the evil of The Fallen. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}} Optimus grew up with no knowledge of who he was, and was eventually found by Sentinel Prime, who claimed to be descended from [[Primus]] himself. Joining Sentinel's tribe of "Autobots", Optimus worked with his teacher and other pupils Megatron and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] to restore order to an energy-starved Cybertron by helping to locate the lost AllSpark, buried far beneath Cybertron's surface. Re-energized by a star harnessed by the science of [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]], the AllSpark restored life and energy to Cybertron, unifying the planet once more, but the old and weary Sentinel Prime had no desire to lead this new, united populace. At last, he revealed to Optimus the secret of his heritage, and that he, as "Optimus Prime", ought to succeed him as leader. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Unable to believe that he was a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], Optimus turned the role down, proposing instead that he investigate Cybertron's history, in an attempt to bring some of the good the Primes created back to the world. Accordingly, Sentinel redrew his plans for Cybertron, having Optimus lead the archaeological [[Science Division]], while placing Megatron in charge of Cybertron's [[Defense Force]]. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Alas, neither Sentinel nor Optimus realized that Megatron had eavesdropped on their conversation. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Megatron was consumed with anger and jealousy at the knowledge that he was Sentinel's second choice, and further lost all respect for Prime because he had turned down an incredible birthright. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Nevertheless, the pair were able to govern Cybertron together for two generations, their two personalities creating a balance; Prime was fair while Megatron was firm. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} When [[Malcontent]] activity opposing Sentinel's order began escalating, however, Megatron intimidated Optimus into giving him supreme power in defense of the planet. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

[[File:Defiance1 Megs Prime argument.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"Hey, I wanted a mouthplate!"]]

When ''Lord'' High Protector Megatron toured a Science Division excavation site near the AllSpark [[Simfur Temple|temple]] at [[Simfur]], he and Optimus clashed over several issues; all Megatron cared about was whether the site contained power similar to the AllSpark, while Optimus insisted on taking things slowly with the reminder that it was ''his'' division was in charge of the proceedings. Subsequently, after the dig uncovered a mysterious [[sarcophagus|relic]], Optimus and Megatron's argument over what should be done with it was interrupted by an attack from [[Ejoornian|aliens]] from the neighbouring [[Eshems Nebula]]. Megatron ordered that the relic be taken to his personal quarters for protection during the battle, and Optimus could not argue. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}} After the aliens were repelled, Optimus ordered his science teams to help the survivors of the attack while he went to confer with Megatron, only to nearly come to blows with the High Protector when he demanded that Optimus marshal the Science Division for war against the aliens. Fear that Megatron sought to divide Cybertron, Optimus called a meeting of the Science Division and appealed to all those who served under him not to join Megatron on his crusade, asking them instead to stay by his side and continue on with their mission of peaceful research. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} With help from closest confidants [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], Optimus broke into Megatron's quarters in search of some clue to his brother-in-arms' sudden compulsion towards war, but only had time to observe that the enigmatic relic had somehow been restored to pristine condition before he was forced to leave to avoid detection. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

[[File:Defiance3 optimus cybertron alt mode.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8|Guys, stop look'n at me! I'm transforming here!]]

Returning to Science Division headquarters, Optimus was greeted with a stunning discovery: Ratchet, Elita-One and Arcee had uncovered other ancient artefacts, each of which bore a symbol that matched one on Optimus's helmet: a symbol that proved Optimus was indeed a descendant of the Dynasty of Primes. Prime went with Arcee and Ratchet to the excavation site, where they discussed the ramifications of this new information, only for the group to be apprehended for treason by an unwilling Prowl, forced to do so on the orders of Megatron. This turned out to be a trap, however: while they were being escorted to the city of [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]], Megatron's forces ambushed them with intent to kill. Optimus bested Starscream and collapsed [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] on top of the attackers, {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}} then raced back to the embattled excavation site to usher Elite-One, Sentinel Prime and Wheeljack to safety, with a little help from Elita's sister [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]. Optimus informed Sentinel of the marking on his head that proved his mentor had been right all along: now, he was Optimus ''Prime''. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} All those loyal to Optimus regrouped at [[Burthov]], where Optimus was recognized as the leader of the group, with Prowl serving as his lieutenant. [[File:Foundation1 optimus is mad.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.3| If I had a face everytime I got angry, I'd be rich.]] Captain Ironhide—a former member of Megatron's Defense Force, who had now christened themselves the "Decepticons"—informed Optimus of the huge starship ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' that Megatron was building, and the newly christened Prime began working toward equipping his own side with similar vessels. Though the Autobots found themselves at an advantage when the ''Nemesis'' left Cybertron with the balance of the Decepticon forces, it was then that ''true'' war finally broke out between Optimus's and Megatron's forces. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

The war raged for thousands of years, with no end in sight until Sentinel came up with a solution: a "torch" that could bring the conflict to an end without the mass murder of the Decepticons. Contact with the AllSpark was required to activate it, so the Autobots made for Simfur Temple, {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} where Optimus held off Megatron so that Elita-One could activate the torch and deliver it to Sentinel. Sentinel loaded the torch aboard the Autobots' ship, the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'', but to Optimus and Megatron's disbelief, Starscream blew the ship out of the air. Consumed with grief and rage at the apparent death of his mentor, Optimus ordered Wheeljack to use the second, remaining ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'' to transport the AllSpark away Simfur, then declared he would be going on a suicide mission to kill Megatron. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}} Concerned for their friend, Ironhide and Elita-One stayed by Prime's side as he made his way through the soldiers guarding Megatron's [[Lord High Protector citadel|citadel]]. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Optimus demanded Megatron face him, but the Decepticon leader responded by dropping the [[smelting pool]] on him. Ironhide saved Prime from the fiery rain, and Optimus then entered Megatron's chamber alone, to discover his former ally surrounded by hungry [[hatchling]]s, confident that the "weak" Optimus would not harm the infants to get to him. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} At that point, Wheeljack's team removed the AllSpark from its temple, plunging Cybertron into darkness. Optimus escaped, leaving Megatron to fend off his ravenous hatchlings, and joined Ironhide in fending off Starscream and Shockwave. Returning to oversee the AllSpark's transportation, Optimus recognized that the drastic actions he had taken had forever fractured his relationship with Elita-One, and observed he still had a long way to go to being a great leader. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[File:Ark Bridge Defiance4.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5|"Who ''are'' all you people?"]]

To put the AllSpark's power beyond Megatron's reach, Optimus Prime made preparations to send it off-planet. Allowing word to reach the Decepticons that the cube was being held at Simfur, Prime and the main force of his Autobots occupied their enemies in battle there, while a small team led by Bumblebee guarded the AllSpark's true hiding place, [[Tyger Pax]]. The cube was launched into space, and Megatron immediately gave chase. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 2|Movie Prequel #2}} Optimus was immediately regretful of his decision, feeling that in buying the Autobots some time in the war, he had sentenced their world to death, but Prowl insisted he had made the right choice, and that he had turned death into a fighting chance to live. Bolstered by Prowl's words, Prime and his Autobots took off after the AllSpark and Megatron aboard the ''Ark'', hopeful that they could defeat the Decepticon leader while he was alone, and bring the cube back to heal their homeworld. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

[[File:AllianceOptimusHoloDriver.jpg|upright=1.8|thumb|[[Peter Cullen|Optimus Prime]] driving Optimus Prime! Sheer awesomeness!]]

Following Optimus and the Autobots' arrival on Earth, and the subsequent battle of [[Mission City]] and the destruction of Megatron and the AllSpark, {{storylink|Transformers: Movie Adaptation}} Optimus Prime helped eliminate the remaining [[AllSpark Mutation]]s skittering around the city, then requested the help of William Lennox and his men in getting the Autobots out of the city before other, less trustworthy humans could arrive. They located a trailer that Prime could use to transport the deceased body of his first lieutenant [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], and, equipped with a hologrammatic driver to avoid suspicion on the road, Prime led his Autobots in rolling out. Sector Seven's Seymour Simmons would later exploit this friendship between Prime and Lennox when, a month later, he convinced Lennox to request assistance from Prime and the Autobots in transporting the Decepticons' remains. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1|Alliance #1}} Prime's team was to escort a Sector Seven convoy from their Nevada base to a naval base at [[California|San Diego, California]], from whence the Decepticons and Jazz's remains would be buried at sea. Before departing Nevada, he entrusted the remaining AllSpark fragment to [[Vine|Professor Vine]] for safekeeping, but had second thoughts soon after leaving, and ordered Bumblebee and Ironhide to turn around and retrieve it. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2}} The two returned to discover that the base had been attacked in their absence by Decepticons [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] and Starscream; Prime soon arrived back to retake ownership of the shard. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}}

[[File:Alliance4 angryLennox Prime.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.8| Did I ever tell you about my unhealthy addiction?]]

Weeks later, following the aquatic interment of Jazz and the Decepticons, Optimus and Lennox agreed to a formal [[NEST|alliance between the Autobots and humans]] as the first line of offense and defense against the Decepticons. The team trained on the island of Diego Garcia, their mutual respect for one another growing, and soon word came in of new Decepticon sightings around Earth. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}} For their first mission, NEST was deployed to [[San Francisco]] to take out the Decepticons Deadend and Swindle, the former of whom was quickly dispatched by Prime via a head-on collision. Swindle's last words caused Prime concern, as they suggested more Decepticons would soon be coming to search the Earth for something; Lennox feared it might be Sam Witwicky, and Prime, sadly convinced the boy was destined to be a part of the conflict, decided to send Bumblebee to resume his role as Sam's guardian. {{storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:Alliance4 Prime killingspree.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.8|Freedom is the right of all '''non-Decepticon''' sentient beings.]]

Knowing that Lennox's superiors held little trust in the Autobots, Optimus Prime dedicated himself and his Autobots to working harder to prove their goodwill through continued success. NEST proceeded to hunt for Decepticons around the world over the next year, with Optimus Prime personally destroying [[Jetstorm (Movie)|Jetstorm]], [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] and [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]]. NEST's ranks continued to grow, with Autobot refugees even arriving on Earth in response to the message Optimus had sent into space, including Prime's old friend Elita-One. {{storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}} One particular new arrival proved a little troublesome, however: in November 2008, [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] caused chaos in [[Uruguay]] when he recklessly pursued his old Decepticon foe [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] towards [[Buenos Aires]]. Prime assured [[Morshower|Admiral Morshower]] that they would forcibly bring Sideswipe in if necessary, but fortunately, Ironhide was able to calm the rampaging Autobot down. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2|Tales of the Fallen #2}} Demolishor escaped, but was tracked to Shanghai by NEST the following year, and Prime's team headed out to finally take the giant Decepticon down. {{storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:Nefarious2 Prime on Soundwave.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.95|Ass-whooping. Noun. To have your posterior presented to you with overwhelming force.]]

After Optimus's death and rebirth during the conflict with The Fallen, {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation|Revenge of the Fallen movie adaptation}} NEST resumed its day-to-day business of hunting down rogue Decepticons. Optimus was dissatisfied with their present reactive state, however, insisting that they begin proactively rooting out Decepticons before they struck. With NEST low on resources, Optimus deployed several new Autobot arrivals to deal with a Decepticon attack on [[Kingdom Petrochemicals]]. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}} The presence of [[Initiative|unknown humans]] at the petrochemical plant gave Prime and Lennox something to puzzle over, and soon after, when NEST was tipped off to Decepticon activity in [[Utah]], the pair believed things to be connected. Optimus went to Ironhide and Sideswie's aid in Utah, besting [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and taking him into Autobot custody in order to learn everything he knew about the enigmatic human organization. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 2|Nefarious #2}} Optimus oversaw the preparations of the facilities for holding Soundwave, rather than face having to tell Major Lennox what they'd done, but this proved the wrong choice: when the plane carrying Soundwave was shot down by [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]], Prime's off-the-record actions meant that Lennox was unable to call in any help. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 3|Nefarious #3}}

[[File:Nefarious6 Optimus must feed allspark.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|I hope [[Rubik's Cube#Revenge of the Fallen|this cube]] isn't like the ones you find in [[Walgreens]].]]

When [[Theodore Galloway]] got too close to discovering the actions of the [[Initiative]], the mysterious human group, they sent the mind-controlled Decepticon [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] to eliminate him. Optimus sent [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to help him, after which Soundwave returned and proposed an alliance between himself and the Autobots to stop the Initiative for good. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}} Soundwave led the Autobots to the location of the [[Initiative base]] in [[California]], but the mobile headquarters had moved on by the time they arrived. Following its trail to Utah, Optimus sensed the power of something very like the [[AllSpark]] upon approach, and began to realize what they were up against—though he did not expect that the Autobots would then find themselves facing brainwashed Transformers, including [[Armorhide (Movie)|some]] [[Blazemaster|of]] [[Brawn (ROTF)|their]] [[Smokescreen (Movie)|own]] comrades! {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}}

During the battle, Optimus demanded their foe surrender the [[Project Nefarious|artificial AllSpark]] they possessed, but [[Carter Newell]], head of the Initiative, responded by trying to use the artifact to terminate all Cybertronian life. An injury courtesy of [[Reedman]] aborted the attempt, and Newell tried to flee, forcing Optimus to ram the truck he was in. From the wreck, Optimus pulled the rapidly-destabilizing faux-AllSpark, and was ready to feed it his own [[spark]] to stop the deadly chain reaction building within it. Luckily that turned out to be unnecessary, as [[Fortress (ROTF)|Fortress]]—a [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] who had long been the Initiative's captive—took the AllSpark from him and carried it into space, where it exploded safely. In the aftermath, Optimus noted that the Initiative databanks had been picked clean by Soundwave, and feared the possibility that anyone else might attempt to recreate the AllSpark. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ElitaandOptimus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5|Optimus, you don't wanna know.]]

The Autobot refugees rescued from the Initiative were eager to get back in the field, but Optimus encouraged them to take more time to recuperate, as they were clearly not fully healed. The havoc the Initiative wrought had convinced Optimus that the Autobots had to refocus their efforts on a new objective: ensuring that no other humans could exploit Cybertronian technology. A team inducing Elita-One and her sisters was deployed to recover Cybertronian weapons from an arms dealer; upon their return to Diego Garcia, Prime shared a quiet moment with Elita, learning more about the new symbiotic bond that had recently been forged between her and her sisters, and growing fearful of the violent streak she had developed. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

When word reached NEST that Sam Witwicky had come under attack from Decepticons in [[Philadelphia]], Optimus mobilized the Autobots to respond. With Arcee having been injured on the previous mission, he initially wanted her and her sisters to stay behind, but they insisted on going. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

During the flight to Philadelphia, Optimus tried once more to have Arcee sit out of the mission, but Elita reinforced her need for revenge—a sentiment that only opened old wounds between her and Prime, reminding both of the time in the past when Prime let his rage get the better of him. Elita's anger over Prime's abandonment of her on Cybertron, and the fact that her death and reunion with him had only led to more fighting and killing, boiled over, and she and her sisters angrily departed on their own mission: to infiltrate what the Autobots believe to be the Decepticons' base of operations in upstate New York. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

Optimus and the rest of the team proceeded on to Philadelphia, where they engaged and contained the Decepticons, but after a while, Elita reappeared, attempting to warn them that the whole thing was a trap laid by Shockwave. No sooner had she spoken his name, the cyclopean Decepticon himself rocketed down out of the air and crushed the life out of her. Driven into a rage by her death, Optimus Prime took Shockwave on one-on-one, and would have killed him had Shockwave's pet [[Driller]] not came to save his master. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Shockwave had also ravaged the Diego Garcia base and killed all the Autobots stationed there, requiring it to be shut down and NEST operations moved to Washington, D.C. Optimus oversaw the decommissioning of the facility, {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1|Dark of the Moon #1}} which was soon followed by the return and betrayal of Sentinel Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|Dark of the Moon adaptation}}

====''Schick Hydrobot and the Transformers''====
[[File:OptimusMegatronSchickComic.jpeg|thumb|right|300px|No Megatron! '''THAT FACE IS MINE!''']]
While searching for Decepticons, who had plans to build an Energon converter to create a massive army and enslave the Earth, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Hound came across [[Hydrobot (TLK)|Hydrobot]] and mistook him for a [[Decepticon]]. Before they could catch him, Hydrobot escaped from the Autobots' clutches. The trio started to realize that they might have judged the small 'bot wrongly when Hound found out that the [[H-Boostium|substance]] Hydrobot left behind was nothing like something a Decepticon would use. Optimus requested Hound to trace its source, which led the Autobots to a [[Schick]] R&D department. They gained access into it in vehicle mode by fooling the guard into believing that the vehicles modes they were using was ordered by the scientist Dr. [[Hiroshi Benson]] himself. Upon gaining access to the laboratory, they confronted Hiroshi in robot mode, which left the human scientist baffled.

Shortly after the scientist finished explaining the origin of the substance and Hydrobot, a squadron of Decepticons led by Megatron suddenly bursted through the wall, explaining their intent to use the devices inside Hiroshi's laboratory to build the Energon converter. Luckily, Hydrobot arrived at the scene to help the Autobots. Just before Megatron and Optimus could dish it out, Megatron grabbed a hold of Hiroshi but failed to stop the human from explaining how to use the [[Energy-field razor|control set]] against Decepticons. A surprise punch from Optimus staggered Megatron and gave Hydrobot enough time to snitch the device away and use it to release a shock burst through Bumblebee towards the Decepticons, prompting them to retreat. After all was said and done, Optimus apologised to Hydrobot for the misunderstanding. The trio and Hiroshi later realised that Hydrobot had forged a new life for himself. The trio then gave Hydrobot a lift and bid their farewells. {{storylink|A New Friend|A New Friend}}

[[File:OptimusMovie GeoffSenior.JPG|upright=1.4|left|thumb|Starting as he means to go on.]]

When war broke out, Optimus Prime studied the entire history of intergalactic warfare from any datatrack he could find—he studied whole campaigns to desperate last stands, gaining a focused "playbook" of warfare strategy. He understands warfare on a practical and psychological level, and in desperate battles knows to show no mercy to opponents beyond a swift death. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4|Autobot VS Decepticon Smackdown!}}

While preparing to launch the AllSpark into space, Optimus hesitated before pressing the fateful button, fearful that he was condemning his world to a slow death. Before he could reach a conclusion, Prime came under attack from a drone sent by Megatron to kill him, and instructed his assistant [[Arctus]] to launch the AllSpark if he had not returned from the fight within ten cycles. When Prime's battle with the drone carried them both into the AllSpark chamber, the drone attempted to alert Megatron to the cube's location, forcing a desperate Prime to transform into his cometary protoform and cannonball directly into his opponent. The drone was successfully blown it pieces, but Prime was knocked out by the impact, and experienced a prophetic vision of [[Mission City|a battle on another world]]. Realizing that the AllSpark's ejection could spread the Transformers' war to other planets, Prime awoke too late to change the course of fate, and could only watch as the AllSpark rocketed off into the sky... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 1|Prelude: Optimus Prime}}

Prime and his Autobots pursued the AllSpark to Earth and battled the Decepticons for it. Almost immediately after triumphing over their foes, however, Optimus and his men had to face them ''again'' when they somehow rose as [[zombie]]s. Despite having no idea how they could be stopped and having had his power drained by fighting Megatron, Optimus continued to fight the monsters rather than let them run amok. Fortunately, Ratchet deduced that they had been reanimated by energies scavenged from the AllSpark by Starscream, enabling the Autobots to target their power sources and slay them once more. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 7|Starscream's Militia}}

[[File:Titan5 Optimustwins.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.6|"Your slang is bad and you should ''feel'' bad!"]]

With the formation of NEST, Optimus found he had to strive daily to gain credibility with the human powers-that-be. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}} Working diligently to root out Decepticon threats around the globe, Prime was too busy to meet with new Autobot arrivals Skids and Mudflap, who claimed to have important information for him, though Ironhide noted that the twins had cried wolf so many times, even Optimus had trouble believing their stories these days. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}} While in [[Australia]] on NEST business, Prime went into action alongside Arcee to apprehend [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]; the two Autobots found the terrain down under to be a challenge, while Sideways was in his element, so Prime elect to just ''blow up'' the terrain instead. Taking the captive Sideways back to Diego Garcia, Prime was greeted on arrival with the sight of Skids and Mudflap brawling on the runway. He bawled them out over improper conduct, but before he could go further, Scorponok made an attack. In the firefight that followed, Optimus tripped over Skids, and by the time he had righted himself, Scorponok and Sideways had both escaped. Knowing that the enemy could ''not'' have got this close without NEST security being compromised, Optimus was convinced by Sideswipe's argument that the twins had turned traitor and had them taken away for questioning. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

When the twins were sprung by Decepticons, Prime agreed with Theodore Galloway that the Autobots would make finding the twins a number one priority. However, Optimus was left suspicious when a [[Soundwave (ROTF)|mysterious "friend"]] tipped the Autobots off about the twins. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}} [[File:Titan10 Optimusgetsout.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.8|Never had a human face before. GIVE ME IT ANYWAY!]] Soon, it came out that the twins were being framed and by tracking the two, Optimus and his men found out about a Decepticon base near [[Mars (planet)|Mars]]. Optimus led a raid on it, taking down the [[Purple generic drone|drone army]] stationed there. But he never did get to hear Skids and Mudflap's intel, about a mysterious threat known as The Fallen... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

Following The Fallen's attack on Earth, Optimus continued operations against the Decepticons. [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt's]] over-enthusiasm began to muck that up, causing damage and getting NEST into trouble, despite Optimus's attempts to point this out to him. Optimus had to confine him to base. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}} Soon after that, he was drawn out into a trap by [[Trophy White]] and the [[Free Men]], who wanted to take his head as a trophy. Optimus worked out their plan and allowed himself to be captured by the deranged hunter, in order to keep the fight away from civilians. He pretended to be securely chained down and listened to White's sociopathic ravings, before (at the moment he considered funniest) breaking free and taking White prisoner. Shockingly, he found keeping the severed heads of animals as trophies to be ''bad'', and destroyed Trophy's trophies. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.10| Bring Me the Head of Optimus Prime}}

[[File:DividedLoyalties prime striketeam.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.8]]

When several Decepticons escaped from NEST's [[Bloemfontein]], [[South Africa]] holding facility, Optimus ordered his men to let the prisoners flee: a battle outside [[World Cup|a major sports event]] would cause unacceptable civilian casualties. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} This led to a major collapse in Autobot popularity, and open battles with Decepticons in cities were just risking further alienation. In response, Prime created a secret covert unit (even under NEST's radar) that would monitor the Decepticons, wait for windows of opportunity out of the public eye, and then hit hard and fast. While this worked, Optimus was left disquieted: the tactics he was using were too akin to the Decepticons, and a fine line was being walked. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.18|Shadow War}} Tracking the Decepticons, led by [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]], to a base in [[Russia]], Optimus led a strike team in, unaware that [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] had sold them all out to Bludgeon and that they were walking into an ambush. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}} "Luckily," Megatron arrived to destroy Bludgeon in punishment for running a rival faction; rather than engage Optimus, Megatron departed with the ominous warning that a day of reckoning was coming soon. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.21|A Short, Sharp Lesson!}}

[[File:Titan3-3 OpSoundwavefaceoff.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8|"Sorry Soundwave, you're going to need braces."]]

When a relic of [[Ark (DOTM)|an unknown UFO]] was discovered in Fiesole, [[Italy]], Optimus led a NEST team to secure the find. Starscream launched a surprise attack to claim it: Optimus ordered the human archaeologist to keep digging and fought the Decepticon, taking two blows before overpowering and thrashing him. But Starscream kept fighting, asking Optimus if there were things worth dying for. Optimus agreed and said he was willing to die to save Earth from Decepticons... at which point Starscream suckerpunched him and stole the artifact. Optimus was left concerned about what the 'cons were up to {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.1|Fight for Fiesole}} but found himself distract by other plots hatched by Soundwave. After intel from Bumblebee led NEST to the Laguna De Guatavita, Optimus and Ratchet tracked down Soundwave working alongside the [[Tanto Gang]]. After the Decepticon and his allies had uncovered [[El Dorado]], Soundwave turned on the Tanto Gang, and the Autobots swooped in the middle of the carnage. Optimus beat down the Decepticon, and forced him to explain his motives: using El Dorado's gold, Soundwave planned on crashing the Earth's economy. Though the Autobots foiled the plot, both Soundwave and the Tanto Gang escaped when the latter triggered a bomb to cover their retreat. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.2|Blood And Gold}} Optimus then encountered Soundwave in [[Spain]] after he'd drawn [[Robert Epps]] and Bumblebee into an ambush. With Bumblebee near death, Optimus agreed to fight Soundwave without weapons if it would mean his comrade's survived, and he was nearly sent plummeting off the mountaintop in the resulting fight. However, he managed to use Soundwave's sonic blasts and the local environment against his foe; by locating a fissure, he snuck behind Soundwave, and shoved him into an avalanche triggered by the Decepticon's attacks. Soundwave was swept away and Optimus emerged victorious. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.3|Dealing with the Devil}}

When Ratchet contacted NEST to let them know there was trouble at the [[Tech Museum of Innovation]], Optimus himself turned out to help chase off Starscream and Barricade. He later tried to convince the anti-[[Transformer|Cybertronian]] protesters that the Autobots were here to help, but Ratchet and Ironhide's actions during the fight had already convinced them of that, and their leader, [[Marcus Castor]], was already producing anti-Decepticon T-shirts. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.4|Automatic for the People}}

[[File:ThousandIslandFight prime shield.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2]]

In the aftermath of the battle for Chicago, Optimus and Decepticon defector [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] were cleaning up ''Ark'' debris on the Moon. Optimus was bemused that Drift would rather be hunting down Decepticons instead, asking if he really wanted to fight his former allies, and pointing out this was necessary work. Soon after, Drift was horrified to find the corpse of his old comrade [[Knucklehead]]. He recounted a story involving them and the murderer, [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], and Prime said he was sorry for the loss. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.1|Adrift in Space and Time}}

A while later, Optimus, Bumblebee, and [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] engaged a trio of Decepticon survivors in [[Jakarta]], [[Indonesia]]. When their charges retreated, Optimus suggested that the three Autobots follow together, but Crosshairs insisted that he go it alone. After giving permission for this action, Prime commanded Bumblebee to keep a watchful eye on the new arrival and relay any findings back to him. With the three Decepticons located and single-handedly defeated by Crosshairs on the island of [[Pulau Bidadari]], Optimus informed Crosshairs that he was more than combat ready, but he had the feeling that they may have missed [[Lockdown (ROTF)|something...]] {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.2|Thousand Island Fight}}

[[File:AcceptNoSubstitute prime vs stinger.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2]]

When [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]] impersonated Bumblebee, Optimus found himself training his weapons on both of the 'bots, confident that the true Bumblebee would be able to prove his identity. He did not have long to wait, as Bumblebee saved a human who had fallen from a nearby burning building, and Optimus quickly overpowered Stinger and ordered him to get out of his sight, repulsed by his artificial nature. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.3|Accept No Substitutes!}}

Hearing a news report suggesting a potential Transformer threat in the town of [[Cullum]], Optimus Prime investigated alongside Crosshairs, and discovered that the area was being menaced by a powerful [[turbofox]]. Crosshairs had once lost an entire platoon to a pack of turbofoxes and struggled to overcome his fears in order to help Prime battle the creature, but fortunately, just as Prime was about to become fox-food, Crosshairs got his head in order and blasted the beast. Optimus congratulated him on conquering his fear, and hoped that humankind would be able to do the same and become allies of the Autobots' once again. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.5|Creature of Chaos}}

====Alternate timeline====

[[File:TitanUK9 frozen prime.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.5|The Prime Who Came In From The Cold]]

In a parallel universe, the battle of Mission City turned out very differently—Optimus was defeated and captured by Megatron, and the AllSpark fell into Decepticon hands. The Decepticons proceeded to conquer North America, and by the start of 2008, had begun a plan to cyberform the Earth using the AllSpark's energies. Working with Mikaela Banes and [[Tom Banachek]], the Autobots staged a plan to rescue Prime, who they knew was being held in Sector Seven's old Hoover Dam base, repurposed by the Decepticons as their new headquarters... but when Bumblebee and Mikaela infiltrated the base, they did not expect to find Prime frozen solid by the liquid nitrogen cooling system previously used to imprison Megatron. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} While Bumblebee distracted Megatron, Mikaela began her attempt to deactivate the system, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} but soon came under attack herself by [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Fortunately, she was able to dupe Frenzy into rupturing the liquid nitrogen tanks with his blades, damaging the system to the point where Prime began to thaw out. The revived Prime challenged Megatron to a duel, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} but as they fought, Optimus learned that Megatron's link to the AllSpark allowed his old enemy to instantly heal any damage Prime managed to inflict. Luckily, Bumblebee and Mikaela saved the day, hitting the distracted Megatron with an old [[Sector Seven]] nanovirus, which destroyed him from within. Simultaneously, Autobots elsewhere destroyed the AllSpark to halt its cyberforming of Earth, but despite this success and the death of Megatron, Prime could take no satisfaction in victory: this battle was won, but the war remained... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

[[File:Aftermathpt2 prime attacked by NATO.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5|Proportions? Never heard of it!]]

Surveying the damage done to Earth, Prime became resigned to the fact that Humanity, battered by Decepticon occupation, would view both Autobot and Decepticon as hostile invaders. Worse yet, although a fragment of the AllSpark had survived the cube's destruction, Optimus feared its contact with Megatron had corrupted it beyond all hope. In spite of these concerns, Prime was quick to order his men to protect a human shelter against Decepticon attack, but the Autobots' defense was misinterpreted as hostile action, and they came under attack from a [[NATO]] unit. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath, Part 1}} Optimus refused to allow his men to return fire, but fortunately, the crisis soon passed when the human who had ordered the attack was freed from the Decepticon mind-control that had guided his actions. Optimus surrendered to the humans, beginning an alliance between the Autobots and the United States government. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

After examining a particularly volatile spot of geological flux brought on by the AllSpark's energy in [[Okeechobee]], [[Florida]] alongside Tom Banachek and recently appointed [[Theodore Allen|President Theodore Allen]], Optimus Prime returned to the Autobots' base in [[Savannah]], [[Georgia]], where he was shocked to discover that Ratchet had used the AllSpark fragment that Prime had entrusted to him to resurrect Jazz. Prime assigned Ratchet and Jazz to monitor the Okeechobee situation, but warned Ratchet to keep a close eye on Jazz, fearing what the potentially-tainted AllSpark had done to him. Unfortunately, Prime's fears proved true, and Jazz soon revealed himself to have been left corrupted and amoral by the shard's power. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

[[File:ReturntoCybertron optimus allies with stockade.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.6|"Don't worry, readers, I'll just leave him to starve to death in #25." <br> "What was that?"<br>"I SAID I'M GONNA KILL YA"]]

Optimus Prime soon worked out that while the AllSpark's transformation of Earth had been halted, the damage had been done: the infection had reached [[Earth's core|the planet's core]], and the organic Earth and the technological transformation were now fighting for supremacy, killing the planet in the process. While he arranged for a specialist team to investigate and limit the damage, Prime reported his findings to President Allen, but refrained from telling him of the back-up plan he was putting into action lest humanity's hopes be unduly raised: a team led by Ironhide was to retrieve [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from the dead Cybertron in the hope it could be used to save Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron, Part 1}} Planetary surveyor [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] was appalled when Prime revealed the plan to him, knowing how unstable Nucleon could be, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron, Part 2}} and the bad news continued to pour in when a distress call from Ironhide's team reported that a band of Decepticons led by [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade's]] already had control of Cybertron's Nucleon. Optimus led the entirety of the Earth-bound Autobots (save Camshaft's team) to Cybertron as back-up, but was surprised to see Cybertron coming to ''them'', possessed by the evil entity [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron, Part 3}} Shot down by Unicron, Prime's team abandoned ship and made it to Cybertron using their cometary protoforms. Forming an alliance with Stockade, Prime formed a plan to drain off the Nucleon so Unicron couldn't use it as a power source, while the bulk of the Transformers provided a distraction by going underground and shooting up Unicron's body. The plan worked, Nucleon was secured for Earth, and Optimus extended an offer for Stockade to join them on Earth whenever he wished. Optimus was left optimistic that Autobots and Decepticons had come together in a common cause. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

[[File:Optimus Titan22.JPG|upright=1.6|left|thumb|Freedom is not dispensed here, sentient fools, only DEATH!]]

On returning to Earth, Prime found the Decepticons had seized the Autobot base and surrounding area; he made the decision to withdraw to [[Washington, D.C.]], knowing that this meant leaving Mikaela in Decepticon hands. Upon landing at an air base, the Decepticon-controlled President Allen lured him into a trap, and he found himself fighting Jazz, now a Decepticon hired gun. Optimus lured him away from humans and prepared to engage him, but when a second assassin named [[Kullt]] turned up, Jazz gunned it down out of annoyance. Optimus had viewed Jazz as a lost cause but now stated there was still some Autobot in him: he ''could'' have let Kullt do the work for him and then killed him, but he saved Prime instead. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}} Prime then took the Autobots to rescue Mikaela; he himself went first, launching himself in protoform mode to land in Savannah like a bomb and tearing his way through [[Swindle (Movie)|drone hordes]]. He was quickly gunned down by aerial units and about to be killed by Starscream, but this whole flashy attack had been a diversion—allowing other Autobots a chance to hit the distracted air forces and nab Mikaela. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

[[File:Revolutionpt3 optimus vs megatron.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.6]]

Optimus seemed to quickly bond with [[Seward|General Seward]], his military liaison at Andrews Air Base, but that didn't help when the mind-controlled President Allen had the government order the Autobots out of America. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution, Part One}} However, having deduced that Allen was under Decepticon control following his clash with Jazz, Prime had anticipated this. As expected, Allen attempted to nuke the Autobots' ship as it departed, but he only succeeded in blowing up a decoy ship Prime had had Ironhide and Bumblebee prepare. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution, Part Three}} Believed dead, the Autobots went undercover on Cybertron, making another deal with Stockade to have his team protect Earth in their absence, kicking off a [[Decepticon Civil War]]. Optimus didn't trust Stockade to not renege on the deal and just take control of Earth for himself, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution, Part Two}} but he ensured the Decepticons were set up for the Autobot's final strike: forcibly teleporting all of the enemy to Cybertron via Unicron's leftover teleportational engines, then stranding Cybertron in a remote solar system. Optimus led the troops to Earth and witnessed Megatron's return from the dead, but this proved no impediment to the Autobots' plan: Prime briefly distracted Megatron so he could be tagged with a teleporter like the other Decepticons, and the next minute, both Megatron, Stockade, and their entire armies were all teleported away. This left the Autobots stranded on Earth and with a lot of clean-up to do... but at long last, Optimus Prime had finally brought the war to an end. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution, Part Three}}

When the AllSpark was destroyed in Mission City, Optimus was bathed in its power and became a living receptacle: he could destroy or heal with the merest thought. He still remained dedicated to peace, and altered his exterior decorations to match the ones he bore as a young leader, before the beginning of the war. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys|First Strike Optimus Prime}} When Starscream came out of hiding, Prime teamed with Arcee to hunt him down, {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SamsClub3pk|Arcee, Starscream & Optimus Prime}} but as more Decepticons under Starscream's command began appearing on Earth, Prime had to use the AllSpark power within him to alter his body into a new sensor-transparent, super-silent form for stealth missions. Prime considered it dishonourable, but knew had to be done. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys|Nightwatch Optimus Prime}} Unfortunately, Starscream followed his lead and also modified himself for stealth so he could target Prime personally. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Legends Class toys|Nightwatch Optimus Prime vs. Stealth Starscream}}

Once the Decepticons were beaten on Earth, Optimus was provided with intelligence by [[Sector Seven]] about Decepticon bases on Mars. After assuming new colors, he headed to the red planet. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Fast Action Battlers|Fire Blast Optimus Prime}} As it turned out, though, the Decepticons would soon strike at Earth again; Prime upgraded his sensor suite and trained with Ironhide to better track their enemies. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#ROTFvoyager|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Optimus Prime}}

Following the battle with The Fallen in Egypt, Optimus made a particular point of tracking down Starscream, {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#HFTDleader|''Hunt for the Decepticons'' Leader Optimus Prime}} and enhanced his arsenal with weapons designed to take on airborne Decepticons. Unfortunately, these new weapons were not a great help in battling hypnotic Decepticon [[Mindwipe (ROTF)|Mindwipe]], who prevented Prime from opening fire by attacking him with mind-controlled humans. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#VoyagerDefender|Defender Optimus Prime}} Prime had more luck against [[Banzaitron (TF 2010)|Banzaitron]], who mistakenly believed that Optimus won his fights through raw power; in actuality, Prime's decades of training made him one of Cybertron's most skilled fighters, and Banzaitron held little challenge for him. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#BattleBlades|Battle Blades Optimus Prime}}

Optimus was known to team up with [[Comettor (DOTM)|Comettor]] for lunar missions. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#OptimusComettor|Optimus Prime & Comettor}} It was on the lunar surface that lost Autobot leader Sentinel Prime was found, and the team-up of these two Primes meant the Decepticons didn't stand a chance! {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#walmartdlx|Walmart Deluxe Optimus Prime}} Optimus continued to combat threats to the Autobots with various new upgrades like armor reinforced with [[Cybertanium]] {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Lunarfire|Lunarfire Optimus Prime}} and [[Tritanium]], {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#TritaniumPrime|Tritanium Optimus Prime}}, [[MechTech]] weapons that included a powerful Cybertanium battle axe {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#DOTMVoyFireburst|Fireburst Optimus Prime}} and the combining [[Mega Striker]] cannon, {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#StrikerOptimus|Striker Optimus}} and the incredible [[Omega Combat Armor]]. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#UltimatePrime|Ultimate Optimus Prime}}

During NEST's ongoing hunt for the Decepticons after the death of The Fallen, Optimus Prime recorded some information on the Autobot-Decepticon war for preservation in [[Vector Sigma]]. Bumblebee and Ironhide were reviewing the data when Bludgeon and Soundwave launched an attack on NEST command. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 1}} The next morning, Optimus had been informed of the attack and Soundwave's capture, and he ordered Ironhide to wait for reinforcements to assist in pursuing Bludgeon. Bludgeon made that difficult for Ironhide. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 2}} Later, Optimus contacted Ratchet to inform him that [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] was causing chaos in [[Mission City]], and he reminded the Autobot medic to be careful. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 3}}

Optimus and Sideswipe tracked Megatron to a disused factory, but the Decepticon leader eluded them by cloaking his spark signature. The hidden Megatron ambushed the two Autobots, and Optimus brought his swords to bear in battle, though he tried appealing to Megatron to surrender. Megatron's response came in the form of a blast that brought the fatory's roof down on the two Autobots, and though Megatron escaped, Optimus promised that he would no longer be able to hide. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 4}}

When Ironhide went missing after the incident with Bludgeon, Optimus searched for him, following directions from Bumblebee to a cave loaded with [[Energon]]. That cave turned out to be the hiding place of Decepticon hypnotist Mindwipe, who had Ironhide in his thrall, and tried to do the same to Optimus. The Autobot leader was able to resist Mindwipe's mesmerizing powers with a little help from his blaring truck horns, and defeated him, leaving a confused Ironhide to wonder what was going on. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 5}}

Reports of [[Smolder (PCC)|Smolder]] attacking a building in [[Scramble City (city)|Scramble City]] resulted in Optimus dispatching Bumblebee and Ratchet to investigate. He filled them in on the situation en route. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 9}} During another mission, Optimus warned Sideswipe and Ratchet that they were being tracked, moments before the pair were attacked by Starscream and Mindwipe. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 10}}

Bumblebee reported to Optimus that he'd managed to pinpoint the location where Megatron and Starscream were meeting, leading Optimus to confront the two Decepticons in an Arctic region. When Megatron expressed surprise that he'd come to fight them without backup, Optimus assured him that the Autobots were never far from their leader's side. While Starscream went to attack the others, Optimus and Megatron continued to fight, with Optimus emerging the eventual victor. As Megatron tried to goad him into finishing the fight, Optimus announced that the Autobots protected all sentient life, and that included the Decepticons. He subsequently allowed Megatron to flee. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 12}}

Prime set up an elaborate trap involving a hologram of Soundwave to lure the Decepticons to a spot in the wilderness. The ploy worked, and Optimus attacked Megatron while his men attacked Megatron's troops. At one point during the battle, Megatron threw a train car at him, and he simply somersaulted along its length. Though Megatron boasted that the Decepticons would win through sheer determination, Optimus knocked him to the ground and gave a speech about building alliances, which was the cue for the [[human]]s to turn up in force and surround the Decepticons. Optimus informed Megatron that he could either leave the planet peacefully or be destroyed. Once the rest of the Decepticons fled, Megatron delivered a final threat before taking off. Prime celebrated with another speech, before admiring the huge Autobot [[insignia]] Bumblebee had stomped into the ground. {{storylink|Decepticons Attack}}

===Transformers Annual 2011===
During NEST's global hunt for Decepticons in the time period between the battle of Mission City and The Fallen's attack on Earth, an alert of Decepticon activity in [[Tokyo]] sent Optimus, Ironhide, Ratchet and Sideswipe to investigate. Prime intervened in Sideswipe and Barricade's battle to lift the Decepticon into the air, only to find himself under attack by Grindor. Ordering Sideswipe and Ratchet to cover him, Optimus scaled the side of a nearby office block so he could punch the helicopter out of the air. Standing over the two Decepticons, Optimus was surprised when they informed him that they were simply providing a diversion. Optimus realised that Sam was in danger, and rushed back to America in time to find Starscream attempting to abduct the boy. He jumped on Starscream's back, causing the Decepticon to flee and saving Sam from a kidnapping. {{storylink|Sam in Danger}}

Optimus met up with Ironhide, Sideswipe and Bumblebee in a desert to train. He and Ironhide tackled a rough off-road trail, only for their training to be interrupted by a nearby dam bursting open. The two Autobots sealed up the dam using rocks from a nearby quarry. They met back up with Bumblebee and Sideswipe afterwards, who admitted to have encountered their own "natural disaster." The source of the disturbances soon revealed itself to be Megatron and Starscream tunneling underground. Though the two Decepticons attempted to ambush the Autobots, Optimus and the others were able to send them running thanks to the training they had gone through that day. {{storylink|Training Day (book)|Training Day}}

[[File:OptimusKOsStarscream-BuddyBrawl.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|And that's terrible]]
Optimus came upon Starscream attacking Sam and Mikaela, while Bumblebee and Wheelie argued with one another nearby on how to defeat the Decepticon. Optimus knocked out Starscream with a single punch before chastising both his subordinates for allowing their feelings get in the way of their mission to protect the humans. Sam and Mikaela attempted to have Wheelie and Bumblebee reconcile, but the two Autobots were too stubborn to apologize to one another. Optimus suggested that the humans give Bumblebee and Wheelie time to work things out. But Starscream suddenly regained consciousness, prompting Optimus to order Wheelie and Bumblebee to work together to defeat him while he protected the humans. The two Autobots managed to put their differences aside and accomplished their task. Optimus looked on with pride as the two friends thanked each other afterwards. {{storylink|Buddy Brawl}}

Optimus had assigned Skids and Mudflap to watch over Sam while Bumblebee was away on a mission. When he asked the Twins for their report on the situation, they informed him that they suspected the [[new lab assistant]] working at Sam's university to be a Decepticon spy. Optimus ordered the two Autobots to continue their vigil over Sam. The Twins' hunch turned out to be correct, and the Decepticon spy sent Optimus a false distress signal through Sam's computer. Optimus sped to meet Sam at his university, where he encountered Megatron. Using a supermagnet within the University lab, Megatron was able to lock Optimus in his vehicle mode. Megatron would have destroyed Optimus if not for Sam's timely intervention. Sam used the supermagnet on Megatron, allowing Optimus to escape, and get repaired by Ratchet. {{storylink|Prime Target (book)|Prime Target}}

[[File:AutobotsthankSam-SatelliteMeltdown.jpeg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|May I ''please'' take your face?]]
Optimus received word from human authorities that [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]] and [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]] were causing trouble. But thanks to Soundwave's tampering with communications, he and his Autobots wound up driving to an empty warehouse miles away instead of the location of the conflict. Upon arriving at the warehouse, Optimus and his troops quickly realized that they had been tricked. Thankfull, Sam and Bumblebee met them there, and led them to the correct location. Optimus took care of both Decepticons by himself, sending them fleeing. Optimus then met with the human military, and informed them of Soundwave in Earth orbit. Together, they managed to have the satellite to which Soundwave was attached to self-destruct, sending the Decepticon tumbling off into outer space. Sam later thanked Sam for his help in the mission. {{storylink|Satellite Meltdown}}

===''Spot the 'Bots''===
While on a mission to find Decepticons, Optimus found Megatron hiding behind a tree. Megatron tried to scamper away, but Optimus and his Autobots gave chase. A small group of both factions then met at an old warehouse, and they began to duke it out for the fate of the Earth! {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Spot the 'Bots}}

===''Unite for the Universe''===
[[File:Project Unite.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.5]]
In the wake of The Fallen's defeat, NEST initiated [[Project Unite]] to find a way of modifying Jetfire's parts so that Optimus could use them again. Unaware of the project's objective, but knowing that it held a great power, Starscream attacked the Unite facility to try stealing its fruits for himself, only to find a successfully powered-up Optimus Prime ready and waiting to take him on. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 1|The Secret of Project: Unite}} Starscream fled, but immediately began plotting on how he could take Optimus's new power for himself. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 1|Ambition Instigated}}

When word came in of another Starscream sighting on the [[Greece|Greek]] island of Delos, Optimus used his new abilities to fly there personally, where Sideswipe briefed him on what the Autobots had deduced: Starscream had managed to replicate the Unite process using the bodies of dead Decepticons, and was making a play for power. Knowing that Starscream did not have the necessary neural interface protocols to handle the Unite upgrade and would soon be driven mad, Optimus led the Autobots in tracking him to [[Taipei]], [[Taiwan]] for a confrontation... only for Megatron himself to show up, also dedicated to bring Starscream to heel! {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|On the Road of Destruction}} Tempting as it was to stand back and watch Megatron and Starscream duke it out, Optimus could not risk the Unite technology falling into Megatron's hands, and soon interceded in the Decepticons' battle. While Optimus kept Megatron busy, Ratchet hit Starscream with a scrambler weapon that burned out Starscream's new cyber-genetic sequencing, rending the Unite tech useless; Megatron departed, vowing vengeance. Optimus sadly reflected that in striving to create new and better weapons, the Autobots had almost handed the Decepticons victory, and swore that fortitude and valour would be the only weapons he relied on henceforth. {{storylink|The Strongest Weapon}}

Optimus found trying to ride [[Grimlock (AOE)|Grimlock]] was far from an easy task, which wasn't helped by his notably impatient attitude. First, Grimlock flung him into a wall when he first tried to get him to move. After [[Humanization|receiving a cast on his leg]] following the incident, he again lost his patience when trying to get his steed to move. However, it was all for naught, as now it was time for Grimlock to ride on Optimus's shoulders. Optimus could only groan in pain as he carried the massive Dinobot around, who was having a much better day than he was. {{storylink|How to Ride Your Dinobot Chapter 2: How to Ride|How to Ride}}

[[File:HowtoRide prime is an expert.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5]]
Intending to teach his Autobots the fine art of Dinobot-riding, Optimus Prime led his men through a Chinese forest to the Dinobots' stomping ground—though he refrained from ''telling'' the Autobots where he was taking them, so they couldn't say no! Hound and Bumblebee had little luck taming [[Slash (AOE)|Slash]] and [[Strafe (AOE)|Strafe]], but when Drift and Crosshairs managed to saddle up atop [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] and [[Scorn]], Optimus cautioned them against overconfidence, but suggested they try practising combat scenario. It did not go well. Bruised and tired, Hound pointed out that Optimus hadn't done any riding, but Optimus professed that he didn't ''need'' to, since he was already an expert. Grimlock evidently didn't get the message, as he flipped the unsuspecting Optimus onto his back, then took off running. Optimus called to the Autobots that Grimlock had picked up the scent of Decepticons, and instructed them all to RIDE OUT! {{storylink|How to Ride a Dinobot!}}

===Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base===
[[File:YokohamaBase movie primes vs nemesis.jpg|right|thumb|upright=0.75]]
''Two'' versions of Optimus Prime were hanging out at the [[Transformers Expo]] in [[Yokohama]] at the same time—one in his original Earth body, the other in his ''Age of Extinction'' form—when the evil clone of a ''different'' Optimus Prime, [[Yokohama Convoy|Nemesis Prime]], came crashing into the building. The Primes attacked him alongside Bumblebee, at which point Nemesis was backed up by some of the other Expo attendees: a ''second'' [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)|Nemesis Prime]] (this one Optimus's ''own'' evil duplicate) and [[Nemesis Grimlock]]! They glared at each other a bit, until suddenly, the combined energies of the AllSpark, the Matrix of Leadership and the [[seed]]—all on display at the Expo, naturally—began reacting with the [[Dark Energon]] within the first Nemesis Prime. This was all part of a complicated plot by [[Unicron]], but fortunately, Nemesis resisted the dark urges within himself, and channelled all the Dark Energon into the stickers his creator [[Doctor Arkeville]] had used to make him evil. Nemesis ripped the stickers off and hurled them into the air, where all the Autobots and Decepticons—and even the Expo's human attendees, using their cell phones—blasted them and stopped the chain reaction.

It was a ''super'' weird day. {{storylink|Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base}}

In this world, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Lockdown were aware that they were toys: specifically, ''Q-Transformers'', a new line of cute-looking ''Transformers'' merchandise produced to tie-in with the 30th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]]. Optimus sometimes changed his look to match other Optimus Prime toys, but his "default" form was that of a toy based on his ''Age of Extinction'' look. They hanged out at different famous service areas on Japanese expressways, and talked about the ''[[Transformers: Mystery of Convoy|Mystery of Convoy]]'' video game, and the remake produced as a tie-in with their toyline, ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (mobile game)|Mystery of Convoy Returns]]''.

Discussing the ins and outs of their cute designs, Optimus and his pals explained that they were created for the purpose of appealing to non-Transformers fans; Optimus suggested plush Transformers could be another way of tapping that market. {{storylink|Mystery of the 30th Anniversary Merchandise}} When the trio talked about and how terrible ''Mystery of Convoy'' was, Optimus huffed, insisting that, at the very least, it wasn't ''unbeatable''. Discussing traits that they thought made games bad, Optimus voiced a dislike for games without different difficulty settings. {{storylink|Mystery of Reliably Crappy Games}}

[[File:Qtransformers optimus on underwear.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.8|See? We weren't lying.]]

Lockdown suggested that re-releasing such a terrible game was like rubbing salt in a wound; Bumblebee didn't understand the expression, since, as Optimus pointed out, they were robots, and it didn't mean anything to them. While trying to come up with situations the phrase was applicable to, Lockdown suggested "accidentally sending your father an "I love you" text instead of your boyfriend or girlfriend"; the trio joked about what sort of response the father would send, and Optimus silenced everyone with the thoughtful answer: "I know". {{storylink|Mystery of Smearing Salt in the Open Wound}} The group then talked about the rubbish stage bosses in ''Mystery of Convoy'', particularly the [[Destron Mark|floating Decepticon insignia]], and wondered what sort of fictional scenarios it could be used in. {{storylink|Mystery of the Stage Bosses}}

[[File:Qtransformers optimus on psychics.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.8]]

Prime and company began being joined by their friends to discuss facets of the game. [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] participated in a talk about the differences between the original and the remake, {{storylink|Mystery of the Wittily Similar Circumstances}} while [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] highlighted the tonal "gap" between the cute character designs and the very ''un''-cute action in the game. Everyone tried to think of examples of similar "gaps": Optimus suggested a stylish young dude wearing unfashionable underwear, and started sweating when everyone laughed. {{storylink|Mystery of the Gap of Unpopular Men}} [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] joined them to talk about classic terrible games, which turned into a discussion about adventure and exploring, and the comforts an explorer might like to have with them on such a journey. {{storylink|Mystery of a Certain Explorer}} [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] and [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] also talked about some famously awful old games, seguing into a discussion about psychokinetic powers; Optimus remembered seeing a guy on TV who had the power to magnetize cutlery to his body. {{storylink|Mystery of a Certain Psychic}}

[[File:Qtransformers gtoptimus copenbee.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2]]

When [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] came along to share his thoughts on points of commonality among famously awful games, the group talked about the technical advancements of video games, but when Optimus wanted to talk about motion capture technology, he got confused and mixed it up with a CAT scan! {{storylink|Mystery of Game Balance}} [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] also had some opinions on the common themes of bad games, but Bumblebee and Optimus's willingness to settle for less frustrated Lockdown. {{storylink|Mystery of the Lowest Possible Standards}}

[[File:Qtransformers g1 convoy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.8|Only you, could prevent wild fires.]]

Optimus had changed his look to match that of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GTR|his ''Transformers GT'' incarnation]] when [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] dropped in. They talked about the changing faces of Optimus Prime through history, and how he used to be called "Convoy" in Japan, then Lockdown compared "Optimus Prime" and "Convoy" to the Mario Brothers. Everyone had a good chuckle when Jazz specified that Optimus would be the "Luigi" of the pair. {{storylink|Mystery of Convoy}} Bumblebee later told [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] about Optimus's fondness for ''Mystery of Convoy''. {{storylink|Mystery of Mystery of Convoy}}

When [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] turned up to join the argument over just how bad ''Mystery of Convoy'' was, the shocked Optimus quickly switched bodies, taking on the form of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|his Generation 1 self]]. They argued back and forth for a bit, discussing other ways the game could have been remade, until Optimus proposed the most drastic rebranding he could think of: calling it "Mysteryvoy of Con". {{storylink|Mystery of Return of Convoy}}

Tiring of talking about ''Mystery of Convoy'', Optimus noted the unexpected popularity of ''Q-Transformers'' itself and steered the towards other ways to reach a wider audience for ''Transformers''. His own suggestion was to make the franchise more like ''[[w:Mito Kōmon|Mito Kōmon]]''. {{storylink|The Road to Winning a New Fanbase}} The three decided to go over previous ''Transformers'' series to make sure they'd stay within established rules, but Optimus and Bumblebee immediately ran into an argument with Lockdown when they refused to acknowledge anything bad about [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the original cartoon]]. Lockdown argued that it was hard to tell the difference between Autobots and Decepticons, so the three discussed ways of making it more obvious. {{storylink|The Road to Easy Identification}}

Introducing a new "Q-Transformers Radio" segment, the trio invited Tracks to talk about popularity, and he brought along [[Yukimura Sanada]] from ''[[w:Sengoku Basara|Sengoku Basara]]''. After interviewing their guest on his franchise of origin, they struck upon the idea of having Transformers appear in ''Basara'' games, and Optimus failed to impress by imagining his in-game super move would be a car horn. {{storylink|The Road to Borrowing Popularity from Sengoku Basara}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
In [[Tyran 609.23-PX Kappa]], Megatron defeated [[The Fallen]] and returned to space to gather the Decepticon army, beginning new engagements which sent the Autobots on the defensive. Optimus Prime rose to the bait planted by Soundwave for Sam Witwicky and took the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' to the Moon to revive [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. Backed into a corner by the Decepticon offensive, Optimus revived Sentinel on the lunar surface, and Sentinel helped Megatron capture Optimus. The Decepticons gained control of Earth and brought Cybertron to Earth orbit. Sentinel spent time unsuccessfully trying to turn Optimus over to his way of thinking.

Everything changed with the arrival of [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] to Decepticon-controlled Earth. The bounty hunter demanded that Optimus be handed over to him; Megatron refused out of pride while Sentinel refused out of loyalty. While Sentinel debated over Lockdown's offer of a protomatter [[seed]], Optimus used the opportunity to reignite Sentinel's cold spark. Sentinel thus tricked Lockdown to seize control of [[Knight Ship|Lockdown's ship]]. Allying themselves with the [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]]s, Optimus and Sentinel waged a long guerrilla war against the Decepticons. After the long struggle, they managed to liberate Earth and revitalize Cybertron with the seed. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/22}}

In [[Tyran 511.0 Kappa]], once [[Cade Yeager]] had revived Optimus Prime, Optimus put out the call to all surviving Autobots. Bumblebee, [[Bulkhead (DOTM)|Bulkhead]], and [[Backtrack (Movie)|Backtrack]] joined...and so did the desperate Decepticons [[Axor|Axel]] and [[Wild Rider]]! The Autobots were initially skeptical of them but learned to appreciate Wild Rider, who remained loyal even in the face of Megatron's return as Galvatron.

The door opened, allowing Optimus to drink half of the Energon, giving the other half to Sentry. Optimus told Sentry he did a good job, relieved him of his guard duties, and flew off into space.

==Commercial appearances==
*As part of the hype buildup to the first movie's release, Optimus Prime made a brief cameo at the {{w|2007 MTV Movie Awards}}, interacting with host Sarah Silverman. The scene spliced Silverman into pre-existing movie footage, but featured new dialogue recorded for the event by Peter Cullen. Prime heavily hinted that he wanted to present an award, but was rejected for a regular MTV fan.

*According to a tie-in advertisement for [[Burger King]], Prime likes his Whoppers with no onions, no cheese, extra pickles, with a side of ????. However, due to a cruel twist of fate, he can never enjoy the sweet taste of beefy victory (and all because he needed a driver for him to receive his order). He saved the world from the Decepticons, and still he can't even have it his way? Where's the justice? {{storylink|Commercial/Transformers (2007)#Burger King|Transformers Burger King tie-in commercial}}

*Optimus fell on some guy's car, smashing it to scrap. The car's owner was rather upset about this development, but Optimus could only respond with "My bad..." {{storylink|Commercial/Transformers (2007)#General Motors|Transformers Chevy tie-in commercial}}

*Optimus Prime (in truck mode) made an appearance at [[BotCon 2007]], alongside the [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit]]. He was available for pictures all weekend. He made a second appearance at [[BotCon 2009]].

*Optimus was convinced that a man's new LG Versa was really a Decepticon in disguise. The phone's owner vehemently denied this, despite the phone demonstrating transformation capabilities. He laughed off Optimus's apparent fixation with Decepticons...until one dropped down behind him, sending him running. {{storylink|Commercial/Revenge of the Fallen#LG Versa|Revenge of the Fallen LG Versa tie-in commercial}}

*Optimus was tasked with delivering trailers of Strawberry and Peanut Butter [[M&M's]]. Instead of hauling them in his truck mode, he picked one up and threw it into the distance, clipping some power lines in the process. This earned him some sarcastic clapping from [[Red (M&M)|Red]]. {{storylink|Commercial/Revenge of the Fallen#M&Ms|Revenge of the Fallen M&Ms tie-in commercial}}

Optimus said it was nice to be there, although David was ''clearly'' concerned with having a 28-foot tall robot in the studio because of a bad history of robots messing up the place, and during the presentation Letterman decided there was something about Prime he didn't like.

[[File:Movie Primetruck before.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|8:30 pm: "Trick My Truck". Tonight's guest: [[Alpha Trion (disambiguation)|Alpha Trion]].]]
[[File:Movie OptimusPrime truckrear.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb]]
[[File:Movie Prime Trucklogomistake.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|In the darkness, a PA will misread "Truck A" as "Truck B", and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth — Revelation 11:7.]]
[[File:MBMovieOptimusAttacks.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85]]
*When Optimus's design was first revealed, [[GEEWUN|many fans of the Generation 1 series objected to the flames seen on Prime's body]]. When asked in an interview why he put the flames on, [[Michael Bay]] claimed he liked them because it was "cool". It was later revealed on a special featurette on the DVD that the flames were added because, apparently, red is not very good to film on camera, so Bay chose a blue truck but used the flames so that when Optimus transformed, the layout would result in maintaining his iconic red chest.
*In the director's commentary of the 2007 Transformers DVD, Michael Bay said that he had told the animators to seek inspiration from Liam Neeson in creating Optimus Prime's body language. ''Awesome.''
*Optimus Prime's truck mode is apparently intended to haul a flatbed trailer, based on the presence of the large silver "headache rack", a piece of optional equipment that protects the driver in case a flatbed load breaks free during braking. It is generally not installed on trucks hauling enclosed container trailers.
*[[TakaraTomy]] officially recognizes Optimus Prime's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] as a Kenworth W900 truck, even though the vehicle used for filming was a modified Peterbilt 379, a different model from a different brand, although both are made by the PACCAR company.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070809065140/http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=121424 Article at Edmunds.com on some of the vehicles used in the movie]</ref>
*When Optimus Prime scans a truck for his new body, the passing truck has what appears to be an Autobot sigil on its grill, but the actual truck that Prime turns into at the end of the scene has a much wider, flatter symbol on the grill, which looks rather more like that of Peterbilt. Then, Prime has an Autobot sigil on his grill while driving to meet the other Autobots.
*According to the free trading cards from the Boston Globe, Optimus is 28 feet tall, weighs 4.3 metric tons, and his primary weapon is an [[ion blaster]]. (Considering Optimus's height, however, this weight would seem implausible. It's also roughly half of the actual weight of the truck he's based on.)
*The [[Milton Bradley]] [[Transformers Battling Card Game]] depicts Prime with a unique a magnetic grapple attack, fired from the side of his arm. It also declares his forearm gun to be a chain gun (it's an ion blaster in other sources), and has him using a "judo kick", which... while it may not be out of the realm of plausibility for Prime to have learned an Earth martial art, judo does not actually '''use''' kicks, being focused on throwing moves. Oops.
*The Optimus Prime computer generated model consisted of 10,108 individual parts, 1,830,898 polygons, 27,744 rig nodes, and 2336 texture maps. The volume of all pieces combined came to 5445 cubic feet.<ref>Robertson, Barbara (2007). Heavy Metal. ''Computer Graphics, 30''(7), 12-17.</ref>
*The [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|''Autobots'' DS game]] notes that Megatron killed Optimus's father. Considering several pieces of movie tie-in fiction treat Optimus and Megatron as brothers, it's entirely possible that he killed his ''own'' father too. ''Dark of the Moon'' may have unintentionally (given the obscurity of the four-year-old tie-in game) retconned this, as Optimus believed [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], the mentor figure to both of them, had perished during a Decepticon attack as he tried to escape from Cybertron.
*During Optimus Prime's transformation from vehicle into robot in Mission City, a piece of Chevrolet intake manifold can be seen on Optimus Prime's left collar.
* After he left the screen following ''Dark of the Moon'' and returned with a new form, the truck was sold at the Barret Jackson Auction in 2016 for $110,000. Another prop was kept around for attraction purposes, while another sold prop was converted into a tow truck.

===Other films===
[[File:ROTF Optimus trailer super mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"One shall be scrawny...One shall be brawny"]]
*Optimus was supposed to combine with a trailer for ''Revenge of the Fallen'', something for which [[Ben Procter]] and [[Josh Nizzi]] drew up designs. In the end, Nizzi designed the combination with Jetfire. However, the idea of Optimus combining with his trailer was not forgotten, and showed up on screen in ''Dark of the Moon''.
*In ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', Optimus has ''[[Kibble#.22Faux-parts.22|Faux-parts]]'', when he transforms inside of the NEST base facing [[Charlotte Mearing|Mearing]] and [[William Lennox|Lennox]]. It is noticeable that the Optimus robot truck parts are not the same as that of the actual truck mode body parts (or at least not all of them). Notice the red chest panels are in fact hidden under the truck nose panels and his arm appears (God knows from where) already with its red/blue flames parts; meanwhile the rest of the front of the vehicle fragments and hides into the robot. This is the only Optimus transformation that occurs this way. In the other in-movie conversions some of his alternate mode's appearances seem to be absorbed into his body or outright disappear.
[[File:AOEOptimusComparison.jpg|thumb|upright=1.95|Fear is freedom! Subjugation is liberation! Contradiction is truth! Those are the facts of this world, and you will all surrender to them. You pigs in human clothing!]]
*The overwhelming majority of ''Age of Extinction'' toys and promotional images for Optimus, not to mention his RotDS in-game model, are based on a preliminary design for the character, not used in the final film. The differences are most noticeable on the chest, although there are minor design variations across pretty much the entire body. [[TakaraTomy]]'s later release schedule for their version of the line allowed them to somewhat remedy this situation – their Battle Command Optimus Prime toy appears to have had its chest and feet retooled before release to match the newer design, and their 'Armor Knight' re-release of the Leader Class toy features extensive retooling to similar effect.
*Optimus's "evasion mode" body possesses one of the more cheatsy transformation schemes in the series. Not only does Optimus manage to turn into a fairly small truck while retaining his normal [[robot mode]] height and mass, his windows and grille rather conspicuously change size whenever he transforms. The paint job is still Optimus Prime as in the first three films, but heavily saturated in brown rust.
*On [[September 30]], [[2014]], Optimus Prime was immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with a cement printing ceremony outside [[Grauman's Chinese Theatre]]. In lieu of hand prints, Optimus provided tire prints. [[Peter Cullen]] was also in attendance and provided hand prints alongside his alter ego.
*The red "scar" on Optimus/Nemesis Prime's face in ''The Last Knight'' came about one day when Michael Bay went into [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] and asked the animators to add red markings to Optimus Prime and Megatron's faces and come up with an explanation for them. Visual effects artist Chris Zammit came up with the idea that the markings were the use of [[Dark Energon]] due to its mind-control abilities and the presence of Unicron in the film.<ref name="MegatronScar">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mke7biooPA4&ab_channel=TFcon The Explanation for Megatron's Red Face Paint in Transformers The Last Knight Discussion at TFcon]</ref>
**In an early version of the fight between Nemesis Prime and Bumblebee, a canister filled with normal [[Energon]] (much like the jars Izabella used on the TRF Sentinels) could have been tossed onto Nemesis Prime to release him from Quintessa's control.<ref name="MegatronScar" /> The idea was scrapped, leaving the red markings as some kind of "paint" and Bumblebee's voice used as the device to restore Optimus Prime.
*Optimus Prime's design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily influenced by his Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)|namesake]], which is especially seen with his Earth mode body. The truck used as Prime was actually a rental, but given a new coat of G1-influenced paint for the role.

===Other notes===
*According to [[TakaraTomy]] marketing director [[Masahiko Yamazaki]], for the Japanese dub of ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'', the [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus]] featured in that show would become a young version of this one. Ultimately, this didn't make it into the end product as the show went largely unchanged.

The PlayStation Portable version of '''''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen''''' video game was developed by Savage Entertainment and published by [[Activision]], in conjunction with the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' movie.

==Gameplay==
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is a top-down perspective (similar to GTA Chinatown Wars) arcade shooter in which you cannot transform at will. Infact, a majority of the gameplay is played in robot mode with only two missions which you play in vehicle mode (and none of them allow you to fly). In comparison with the previous Transformers movie game, characters have less weapons only a primary infinite ammo weapon and a limited powerful secondary weapon, characters cannot interact or pick up objects (some objects can be destroyed), many character animations look awkward and cutscenes are replaced with dialogue lines.

Along with the Autobot and Decepticon campaign there is also a survival mode in which you can pick any Autobot or Decepticon and attempt to survive for as long as possible while racking up a high score.
==Synopsis==
===Autobots Campaign===
===='''Shanghai'''====
Sergeant Epps reports that Decepticons have resurfaced at Shanghai, Autobots rush to the site to prevent the Allspark falling into Decepticon hands.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld9AuUU6Gp0</ref> Bumblebee and Ratchet protect the convoy as it travels down the main street of Shanghai while NEST are awaiting more reinforcements. Sideswipe is reported to be missing and so the Autobots' attention is diverted to finding him. They soon find him in a construction site, and must fend off waves of Decepticons approaching his location. During this, Demolisher steals the Allspark fragment from the convoy. The Autobots then catch up with Demolisher on the highway and manage to damage him enough so that the he is unable to escape.
===='''North Atlantic'''====
The Decepticons have revived Megatron with the stolen Allspark fragment and have launched an attack on the Deep Six NEST base, with Megatron heading to the power core to restore his strength at full power. The Autobots fight their way through the Decepticon forces, and secured the power core. Heading for Megatron, who is not at full strength but still dangerous, the Autobots were able to beat him, which causes him, and the remaining Decepticons to retreat.
===='''U.S. East Coast'''====
Having learned that Sam Witwicky has been kidnapped by the Decepticons, the Autobots launch a rescue mission to save him. After finding Sam in the building he was taken into, the Autobots defeat Starscream, who flees after taking in too much damage. With the Decepticon attacks getting too serious, Optimus has agreed to give NEST the Axiom gun, to be transported to their base, with the Autobots serving as escorts against Decepticons attempting to destroy it. Sam decides to go see ex-Sector 7 agent Simmons, who now works in his mom's deli, to find out what the Decepticons want with him. Riding in Bumblebee, Sam is escorted by the Autobots who protect him from Decepticon forces attacking him. Once Sam gets to the deli and gains the information needed, the head to the Air & Space Museum to find Jetfire. Once Jetfire is awakened, he uses his transdimentional space bridge to get Sam and the Autobots to Egypt.
===='''Cairo'''====
Jetfire explains the history of the Star Harvesters, and the Fallen to the Autobots. Once the Autobots reached Cairo, they have to escort Sam & Bumblebee to the Tomb of the Twelve Ancients to find the answers they seek. Once they reach the tomb, the protect the entrance while Sam searches for answers. Soon, Megatron & Starscream arrive, and open fire on the tomb, and mortally wounding Jetfire, before fleeing the scene. Sam finds out the Decepticons are looking for the Harvester, Jetfire then gives his life to power up Optimus, who is the last of the Primes, and the Autobots now have the objective to find the Harvester before the Decepticons do. NEST forces report the Devastator has reached the Great Pyramids. Fighting their way through waves of Decepticons, ambushed by Starscream, and destroying Grindor, they are able to destroy Devastator, who proved to be the toughest they've ever fought, but moments later, The Fallen reveals himself, and fights against Optimus Prime, in which the Autobot leader stands victorious and destroys the traitorous Prime, ending the Decepticon threat. Sam, the Autobots, and NEST soon return home.

===Decepticons Campaign===
===='''Shanghai'''====
Sideways accidentally alerts NEST causing Autobots to deploy along with human reinforcements. Sideways fights his way to the convoy only to learn that it has taken the highway, Sideways quickly manages to catch up with it and hands the Allspark fragment to Demolisher. Sideways then attempts to escape but is stopped by Bumblebee, however Sideways manages to defeat Bumblebee but is not quick enough to kill him, as Ratchet and Ironhide arrive just in time to save Bumblebee.
===='''U.S. West Coast'''====
The Decepticons sought to obtain a fragment of the shattered AllSpark after learning that it was hidden in Mikaela Banes's home. Starscream decided that in order to accomplish this goal, a [[Viroid]] must be inserted into Earth's communications systems and set with the task of locating her. Soundwave prepared to launch the Viroid to the planet Earth but required the disruption of five communication towers in order to succeed. After Grindor destroyed the towers, the Viroid infiltrated the communications grid and discovered Mikaela's location. After acquiring it, Starscream then ordered Dead End to submit Director Galloway to interrogation in order to retrieve the last AllSpark shard. With the final fragment located, Sideways obtained it, and with the final AllSpark fragment in their possession, they traveled to the [[Laurentian Abyss]] and revived their leader.
===='''U.S. East Coast'''====
After being resurrected, Megatron went to a human base to feed on its power core and regain all his power that was lost during the time he was held captive. There, he fought against Ironhide and defeated him. Upon meeting with The Fallen, Megatron sent Starscream to eliminate all Autobot forces in the city so they could coax Optimus Prime out of hiding and capture Sam. After Prime is defeated, the Autobots sent Sam to Egypt, making Megatron believe that the [[Star Harvester]] might be there.
===='''Cairo'''====
Dead End is sent first to destroy the human defenses in the canyons. Once the defenses were destroyed, The Fallen discovered that the humans had [[Axiom Gun|a rail gun that could make them unstoppable]], and Megatron returned to Egypt to destroy it. After the Axiom Gun is destroyed, The Star Harvester is uncovered. Upon meeting with his master close to the [[Pyramid]] where the Star Harvester was located, Optimus Prime, now with his Jet-power upgrade, revealed that Primes are only born, never made, and that his master used him to achieve his goals. Megatron, mad after realizing that his archenemy was telling the truth, stood against The Fallen. After killing him, Optimus managed to destroy the Star Harvester. With his initial plan ruined, Megatron returned to the Nemesis and activated the Decepticon protoforms inside the ship, commanding his new army to arise.

Fighting their way through waves of Decepticons, ambushed by Starscream, and destroying Grindor, they are able to destroy Devastator, who proved to be the toughest they've ever fought, but moments later, The Fallen reveals himself, and fights against Optimus Prime, in which the Autobot leader stands victorious and destroys the traitorous Prime, ending the Decepticon threat. Sam, the Autobots, and NEST soon return home.

===Decepticons Campaign===
*'''Shanghai'''
Sideways accidentally alerts NEST causing Autobots to deploy along with human reinforcements. Sideways fights his way to the convoy only to learn that it has taken the highway, Sideways quickly manages to catch up with it and hands the Allspark fragment to Demolisher. Sideways then attempts to escape but is stopped by Bumblebee, however Sideways manages to defeat Bumblebee but is not quick enough to kill him, as Ratchet and Ironhide arrive just in time to save Bumblebee.
*'''U.S. West Coast'''
The Decepticons sought to acquire a fragment of the shattered All Spark which they learnt was hidden in the home of the human female Mikaela Banes. Starscream decided that in order to accomplish this goal, a [[Viroid]] was going to be inserted into their communications system and set with the task of locating her. Soundwave prepared to launch the Viroid into the planet Earth but required the disruption of five communication towers in order to bring about the success of the mission. After Grindor destroyed the towers, the Viroid infiltrated the communication grid and discovered Mikaela's location. After adquiring it, Starscream then set Dead End to find director Galloway for interrogation in order to adquire the last AllSpark shard. With the final fragment located, Sideways went to retrieve-it and with the final AllSpark fragment in their possession, they set to the [[Laurentian Abyss]] and revived their leader.
*'''U.S. East Coast'''
After being ressurected, Megatron went to a human base to feed on it power core and regain all his power that was lost during the time he was held captive, there he fought against Ironhide and defeated him. Upon meeting with The Fallen, Megatron sent Starscream to eliminate all Autobot forces in the city so they could coax Optimus Prime out of hiding and capture Sam, After Prime is defeated, the Autobots sent Sam to Egypt, making Megatron believe that the [[Star Harvester]] that his master craves for might be there.
*'''Cairo'''
Dead End is sent first to destroy the human defenses in the canyons, once the defenses were destroyed The Fallen informed that the humans have [[Axiom Gun|a rail gun that could make them unstoppable]], and Megatron returns to Egypt to destroy-it. After the Axion Gun is destroyed, The Star Harvester is uncovered. Upon meeting with his master close to the [[Pyramid]] where the Star Harvester is located, Optimus Prime, now with his Jet-power upgrade, revealed that Primes are only born, never made, and his master used him to achieve his goals, Megatron, mad after realizing that his Arch-enemy is telling the truth, stand against The Fallen, after killing him, Optimus managed to destroy the Star Harvester. With his initial plan ruined, Megatron returns to the Nemesis and activates the Decepticon protoforms inside the ship, commanding his new army to arise.

Moustache Man

2021-03-16T01:01:41Z

Cybertron Forever: /* Fiction */ Hello guys, I AM BAAAAAAAAAAACK! Boom!!!!!

{{factions|decepticonfilm}}
:''Moustache Man is a [[Decepticon]] holographic avatar from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Movie MustacheMan.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The real reason they have mustaches is so that they can twirl something while contemplating the conquest of the universe.]]
The '''Moustache Man''' is a [[Hologram|holographic image]], and the means by which the Decepticon forces can operate within the military branches and law enforcement agencies of the [[United States of America|United States]] without gaining the attention that an otherwise driver-less vehicle would obviously attract. While the Moustache Man can appear in different uniforms appropriate for the vehicle disguise his owner has assumed, the hologram appears to have only one face. With a fake mustache.

Moustache Man has a piercing, icy stare and the tendency to flicker before his owner carries out an operation.

==Fiction==
===''Transformers'' film===
''Actor:'' [[Brian Reece]]
[[Image:Movie Blackout holoavatar.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Where is Sarah Connor?!]]
[[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] projected the Moustache Man as his 'human' pilot when he arrived at [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]], successfully fooling the human soldiers. Base commander [[Sharp|Colonel Sharp]] ordered Moustache Man to power down Blackout and disembark his crew or risk being killed. Moustache Man flickered before Blackout transformed to lay waste to SOCCENT.

Later, after [[Air Force One]] was forced to make an emergency landing, [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] drove up to the plane with the Moustache Man activated, earning not a second glance from the many police officers and secret service agents protecting the aircraft. He reacted to [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy's]] complaints about being shot at by [[Human|stupid insects]] and his report of his failure to successfully access the information they were after with an ''icy stare''. Hey, better than [[dull surprise]].

[[Image:Movie Starscream holographavatar1.jpg|right|200px|thumb|No, really. Where is she? She owes me ten bucks.]]
Tracking down [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]], Barricade's Moustache Man tricked the human adolescent into believing he was a real police officer. The human recounted his escape from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|car that was following him]] and demanded the Moustache Man exit the vehicle. Needless to say, he didn't, but instead aped Barricade's movements as he bashed Sam with his car door.

After Frenzy reported the location of the [[AllSpark|All Spark]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] Moustache Man flickered and sat in his owner's cockpit impassively as the Decepticon second-in-command ordered the other Decepticons to move out. It is unknown if the Moustache Man was still being projected during the battle over [[Mission City]]. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===
Starscream was seen projecting a pilot hologram during the battle in [[Egypt]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] were the first to scan and destroy [[Earth]] vehicles for disguises when arriving on-planet. It can be assumed that the original Moustache Man was the operator of one of these two vehicles, mimicked to complete the disguise. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 4|Movie Prequel #4}}

===''Cyber Missions''===
[[Image:MoustacheManCyberMissions6.jpg|left|thumb|100px]]

Seeking the deactivation codes for [[NEST]]'s defence systems, Barricade used the hologram to fool a face recognition scanner at a secure facility in [[Scramble City (city)|Scramble City]]. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 6}}

{{-}}

==Notes==
* The Decepticon holographic avatar is referred to as "Mustache Man" in the script, following the American English spelling. He is credited as "M'''o'''ustache Man" in the credits of the final film, following the more international British English spelling of the word.
* In the February 28, 2006 revision of the script, Bumblebee has the same holographic driver as the Decepticons! Although presumably removed from later drafts because it ''makes no sense'', Bumblebee's Moustache Man shows up in [[Transformers: The Movie Storybook]], and is mentioned by Barricade in the [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers Autobots]] DS game. Similarly, ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] uses a "moustache man" hologram in his vehicle mode, though with the series' trend of long [[chin]]s, as well as the "man's" face resembling Prowl's own.
* [[Brian Reece]], the actor who plays Moustache Man, was actually the real pilot of one of the two MH-53 helicopters used as [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout's]] alternate mode. [[Michael Bay]] and [[Steven Spielberg]] both agreed that he looked ''exactly'' what they had pictured Moustache Man to look like, and as a result, he had to change his wedding and honeymoon schedules so that he could film all of Moustache Man's scenes for the ''Transformers'' movie.<ref>Transformers DVD audio commentary by director Michael Bay</ref> <ref>[http://www.abqtrib.com/news/2007/jun/30/kirtland-air-force-base-pilots-icy-stare-earned-hi/ Albuquerque Tribune article on Reece and the Moustache Man]</ref>
* If you pause the film while Moustache Man is flickering, the image of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s face is visible... yeah.
* Moustache Man's mustache serves a practical purpose... it conceals a swath of miniature antennae.<ref>2007 film novelization, pg 109</ref>

:''Sentinel Prime is an [[Autobot]] leader from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:DOTM-Sentinel-Heatscramble.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|What does [[Spock]] need with [[Ark (DOTM)|a starship]]?]]
'''Sentinel Prime''' hails from an older time when [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was the galaxy's crown jewel and the [[Transformer]] race was full of promise and potential. The only known remaining [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], he personified what a leader should be: wise, compassionate, and a more than worthy warrior. Revered by both [[Autobot]] and [[Decepticon]], few would dare stand against his shield and [[Primax Blade]].

But when Sentinel was presumably lost forever aboard the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], his hand-picked successor, was left to fill his void. The loss of Sentinel signaled the end of Cybertron's golden age, and the planet spiraled deeper into war. Some who recall Sentinel's reign bitterly remember when Transformers were masters of their fate, rather than scattered to the stars and living as exiles. Above all, Sentinel Prime is a staunch patriot. He loves his home planet with all of his [[Spark]] and will do anything—even go to extremes—to protect it.

[[File:DOTM-Sentinelsleeps.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2|Sentinel just can't get to sleep without his security [[pillar]].]]

Long ago, Sentinel Prime was the leader of the Autobots before Optimus Prime during the war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. But as the conflict dragged on, with no end in sight, Sentinel found himself forced to make a drastic choice: a secret alliance with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. Believing that it was only through the sacrifice of another world that Cybertron could be restored, Sentinel developed teleportational [[space bridge]] technology to transport resources across interstellar distances—but, knowing that Optimus would never condone his course of action, Sentinel kept his plans a secret, claiming the bridge was a means of transporting troops into battle. Sentinel's intention was to depart for the chosen planet—[[Earth]]—and meet Megatron there later, but during the battle that erupted around the departure of Sentinel's ship the [[Ark (DOTM)|''Ark'']], the vessel was damaged and sent spiralling off into the depths of space, presumed lost forever. The war was left to continue with none save Megatron aware of Sentinel's treachery.

In [[1961]], the ''Ark'' crashed on Earth's [[moon (moon)|moon]]. The impact was detected by [[NASA]], triggering the space race of the 1960s and leading to the [[United States of America]]'s eventual first trip to the moon in [[1969]], which was secretly an attempt to inspect the crashed alien ship. However, before [[Apollo 11]] got there, a team of Decepticons led by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], who had tracked the vessel, removed the majority of the space bridge [[pillar]]s from the ship to keep them out of human hands. The NASA astronauts found no trace of them, nor of Sentinel himself, safely sealed in the ship's crash vault with five remaining pillars.

[[File:DOTM-SentinelOptimusMatrix.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2|"Sorry Optimus, I don't want it. Because when I kill someone, I want them to ''stay'' dead."]]

In the present day, a mission to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]] resulted in Optimus Prime's Autobots discovery of a piece of the ''Ark'', which had been recovered by a later Russian moon mission. Demanding information from new National Security Director [[Charlotte Mearing]], Optimus learned that the ship was on the moon, and subsequently traveled there with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] to find and retrieve Sentinel Prime. Taking his mentor's body back to Earth, Optimus revived him with the [[Matrix of Leadership]], and Sentinel awoke in a crazed rage, briefly attacking Optimus before coming to his senses. Sentinel explained the space bridge to the Autobots and humans, lamenting the seeming loss of the pillars that the Decepticons had stolen, and took an immediate dislike to Mearing when she ordered the few remaining pillars taken into custody. Optimus proceeded to give Sentinel a tour of Earth, which led the old Autobot to marvel at the beauty and the life of the planet, after which Optimus offered Sentinel the Matrix back. Sentinel turned it down, feeling unable to lead on a planet he did not know, and telling Optimus that he was now his teacher, rather than his protege.

[[File:DOTMSentinelOptimus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2|Give me ''your'' face!]]

Discovering evidence that the Decepticons held the missing pillars, the Autobots' young human ally [[Sam Witwicky]] believed that the villains would soon be coming after Sentinel Prime, since only he could activate the technology. Several Autobots escorted Sentinel Prime back to NEST headquarters, fending off a [[Dread (DOTM)|team of Decepticons]] along the way, but once they had arrived at their destination, Sentinel allowed his facade to drop. Knowing that all was in readiness, he revealed his centuries-long alliance with Megatron by slaying [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] with his [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] cannon, tearing NEST headquarters apart to reclaim the pillars, and departing to meet his Decepticon co-conspirators at the [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln Memorial]]. There, Sentinel opened a small space bridge portal above, through which Decepticon troops in waiting on the moon poured. Optimus Prime arrived and pleaded with Sentinel to stop, but Sentinel refused, leading to a battle between the two. Sentinel overpowered his former pupil, but spared his life.

[[File:DOTM-SentinelandMegatron.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2|Sentinel and his new hobo friend.]]

Sentinel proceeded to deceive the [[United Nations]], claiming that he and the Decepticons would harmlessly take the resources they needed from Earth and depart with no further bloodshed if Optimus and his "Autobot rebels" were exiled from the planet. The humans wasted no time in agreeing, and the [[Xantium (DOTM)|''Xantium'']] was launched with Earth's remaining eleven Autobots inside... whereupon [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] blew the shuttle to bits. With their primary opponents now believed obliterated, the Decepticons set about conquering the city of [[Chicago]] and positioning pillars in strategic locations around the world. Megatron gloated over the success of their partnership, but Sentinel was quick to violently and physically remind him that he was working ''with'' Megatron, not ''for'' him.

With the pillars in place, Sentinel activated the space bridge, opening a huge portal above the Earth through which Cybertron itself began to materialize. Earth was not without defenders, however: Optimus and the Autobots had, in fact, staged their deaths, and had arrived in Chicago to stop Sentinel's plot. Optimus shot out the control pillar, deactivating the bridge, leading a furious Sentinel to engage him in battle once more. Unlike their last bout, Optimus held his own, leading Sentinel to call upon Decepticon fighter ships to fire on his ex-apprentice, while he broke off to fight his way through the other Autobots in an attempt to escape. NEST soldiers destroyed the ships, allowing Optimus to pursue Sentinel and re-engage him, but this time, Sentinel took the upper hand when he severed one of Optimus's arms.

[[File:DOTM-allIeverwanted.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2|Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?]]
Just before Sentinel could deliver the killing blow, however, he came under attack from Megatron, who, thanks to the goading of Sam's girlfriend [[Carly Spencer]], had realized the threat Sentinel posed to his leadership and had decided to once again take his rightful place at the top of the command chain. At the same time, the other Autobots destroyed the reactivated control pillar, thus destroying the space bridge and apparently Cybertron with it. Though Megatron's attack on Sentinel saved Optimus's life, the Autobot leader refused Megatron's offer of a truce and killed his eternal foe, leaving Optimus and the now-badly-damaged Sentinel alone once more. Sentinel abandoned his pride; he pleaded with Optimus for mercy, claiming all he ever wanted was the survival of their race. Optimus countered that Sentinel hadn't betrayed the Autobots, but rather ''himself'', and as his treacherous mentor howled at the ruination of his plans, Optimus unceremoniously executed Sentinel Prime with Megatron's fusion shotgun. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{note|Sentinel Prime's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel]]"; the "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation]]" and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; and the storybooks "[[Autobots Versus Decepticons]]," "[[Optimus Prime's Friends and Foes]]," "[[The Lost Autobot]]," "[[Dark of the Moon: Action Pop-ups!]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Mix & Match]]." Several adaptations include plot points from earlier drafts of the film, including Sentinel killing [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] along with Ironhide; his willingness to kill Optimus at the Lincoln Memorial, sparing him instead only to save the pillars when they come under attack; and his being slain by Optimus using his own Cosmic Rust cannon, rather than Megatron's weapon.}}

[[File:Sentinel head at KSI.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.66|He didn't get to live long and prosper ''quite'' as much as Leonard, but we'll give him points for trying.]]
After the battle of Chicago, Sentinel's head was recovered by [[Joshua Joyce]]'s [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]] to be used to help manufacture their own Transformers. [[Brains]] personally worked on it along with the remains of other fallen Transformers. Five years later, Sentinel himself was listed as "deceased" by the CIA taskforce "[[Cemetery Wind]]". {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Foundation1-SentinelPrimeaword.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|"That word is ''fart''."]]
Sentinel Prime was a direct descendant of the first Cybertronian, [[Primus]], and was believed to be the last of the [[Prime (rank)|Primes]]. He told tales to his much younger Cybertronian brethren of how the [[Dynasty of Primes]] had called upon a legendary artifact, the star-powered [[AllSpark]], to give life to their world. But the AllSpark had been lost to history, and their world had tumbled through the cosmos without a star to orbit for eons. Sentinel Prime had plans to rectify this, and he gathered followers who believed in his path to a new age of life on Cybertron. With the help of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], and their legions, they searched the planet for the legendary artifact and a way to power it. However, there were the [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]], a tribe of separatist Transformers who disbelieved in Sentinel Prime's vision, and warred against him and his followers. This conflict ended when, with the help of [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]], a sun to orbit was brought to Cybertron, and the AllSpark discovered and energized.

[[File:Foundation1 freedom.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.2|"Hey, a body! Buff, tanned... yeah, this is mine alright."]]

Though Sentinel Prime had finally returned the forgotten concept of "freedom" back to Cybertron, he felt he no longer had a part in its path to the future. He was old and tired, and spoke in confidence to Optimus, believing that young Autobot was also part of the Prime lineage and requesting that he take on the mantle of leadership. Though Optimus was too humble to accept, not believing Sentinel's claims about his heritage, Megatron overheard their conversation and became jealous of his "brother." {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Sentinel formulated another plan for Cybertron's future: it would be governed by Optimus's [[Science Division]] and Megatron's [[Defense Force]]. By having Optimus investigate the remains of the Primes' civilization, it would encourage him to believe in his lineage. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

Alas, after two generations of successful shared leadership, Megatron fell under the sway of [[The Fallen]], and reshaped his Defense Force as the [[Decepticon]]s, declaring war on Cybertron. Sentinel Prime was at the archaeological dig in Simfur when the first strike took place, and was quick to opt for a technique of self-preservation, rather than attempting to save the Science Division's work. Optimus soon arrived to fend the Decepticons off, and revealed that his studies had proven the truth of Sentinel's words: he was indeed a descendant of the Primes. He did not believe that this made him a born leader, but Sentinel impressed upon Optimus the necessity that he take up command of the [[Autobot]]s, that Cybertron might be saved from Megatron's destructive ambitions.

[[File:Foundation3 sentinels torch.jpg|left|thumb|"Jim... I am, and forever shall be, your friend."]]

As time passed, and the war rolled on with no signs of stopping, Sentinel Prime was forced to make a deal with Megatron to seek out another planet whose resources they can exploit to restore their homeworld. The chosen planet was the resting place of the Primes' Star Harvester. Sentinel recreated the Primes' lost [[space bridge]] technology, fashioning hundreds of pillars that would form a bridge large enough to teleport Cybertron itself across the cosmos {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3|Dark of the Moon #3}} Sentinel then invented a mysterious "torch" that he promised would end the war. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} The torch had to be brought into contact with the AllSpark to be activated, so the Autobots launched an attack on the Simfur temple to carry out this action while Sentinel stood by with a spacecraft, the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], to await delivery of the active torch. [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita One]] soon returned with the torch, at which point Sentinel instructed Wheeljack to take the [[Ark (Movie)|second Ark]] and collect the remaining Autobots from [[Tyger Pax]], while he himself headed to Simfur to collect Optimus's forces. Upon arrival at Simfur, however, Sentinel's Ark was attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and was consumed by a huge explosion, leaving all present to believe it, Sentinel, and all aboard had been destroyed. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

In actuality, Sentinel's Ark had not been vaporized as believed: it had been teleported away by the [[space bridge]] technology it was outfitted with. With all hands knocked into stasis by the explosion, the ship automatically jinked through space and time on a series of random space bridge jumps, until at last, its sensors locked on to the energy of the AllSpark, which had since been ejected from Cybertron and had crash-landed on the planet [[Earth]]. On its penultimate jump, the Ark crossed paths with the Decepticon ship ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', which had departed Cybertron just as the war was beginning, and was now also following the AllSpark's trail. The Ark materialized from its jump into the same physical space as the ''Nemesis'', crippling both ships beyond repair; the Ark made one final bridge jump, reappearing in the immediate vicinity of Earth in 1962, where it crashed violently onto Earth's [[moon (moon)|Moon]]. All the Autobots aboard perished save for Sentinel himself, who was in the crash vault and remained slumbering in stasis. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1|Convergence chapter 1}}

===Titan movie comics===
Sentinel was a direct descendant of [[Primus]], the first Cybertronian, and one of the last surviving Primes. With a firm but just hand, he ruled the Autobots before the war. During the war, he named Optimus his successor before departing on a mission into deep space, only for his ship to be shot down by enemy fire...

But his Ark merely crashed somewhere near Earth in 1962, a fragment of it landing in Fiesole, [[Italy]]. When a human discovered it in 2011, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] tried to prevent the Autobots from getting that fragment and finding their way to the lost Ark. The Autobots finding Sentinel was ''not'' an option for Starscream and the concept unnerved him... Apparently, the fragment had the power to make martyrs of the good and bad alike. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.1|Fight for Fiesole}}

Eventually, though, a new Prime arose, [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Rodimus Prime]]. {{storylink|Megatron (Movie)/toys#Timelines|BotCon 2015 Megatron profile card}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
In [[Tyran 609.23-PX Kappa]], Megatron, rather than Optimus Prime, defeated [[The Fallen]]. Megatron went on to gather his army and wage a successful campaign against the Autobots and [[NEST]] on Earth. Falling for baited clues that [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] left for [[Sam Witwicky]], Optimus Prime took the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' to the Moon. Backed into a desperate corner by the Decepticon offensive, Optimus revived Sentinel Prime right on the lunar surface. With Sentinel's aid, Megatron defeated and captured Optimus. With the aid of collaborationist humans, Megatron used space bridge technology to bring Cybertron to Earth orbit, and under [[Dylan Gould]]'s leadership, humans were put to work strip-mining Earth for resources to rebuild Cybertron.

All of this changed when [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] arrived. The bounty hunter demanded that Optimus be handed over to him. Megatron and Sentinel both refused, the former out of pride and the latter out of loyalty. Lockdown then offered a protomatter [[seed]] to Sentinel in exchange for Optimus. While Sentinel was sorely tempted, Optimus used the opportunity to reignite Sentinel's sense of justice. Sentinel proceeded to pretend to hand over Optimus, ambush and defeat Lockdown, and capture Lockdown's [[Knight Ship|ship]]. Allying themselves with the legendary [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]]s, Optimus and Sentinel waged a long guerilla campaign against Megatron and the Decepticons, eventually restoring freedom to Earth and revitalizing Cybertron with the seed. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/22}}

In [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma]], Sentinel Prime's true colors were exposed in part by [[Strafe (TF 2010)|Strafe]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/21}}

Sentinel Prime met with Optimus after Bumblebee had been taken captive in the Autobots' mission to retrieve the Optimus Prime Kre-O kit parts from within Decepticon headquarters. He specialized in defense, and could hold out his shield to either block enemy fire or provide a platform for his fellow Autobots to jump onto, gaining them access to hard-to-reach places. Eventually, the Autobots managed to infiltrate the Decepticons' base, and retrieved the kit parts, which were assembled by Ratchet into a colossal Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Kreon Chaos}}

[[File:DOTM_CyberverseCommander_SentinelPrime_toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Prime 3:16!]]
*'''Sentinel Prime''' (Cyberverse Commander, 2011)
**''Series'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''002'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV05'''
**''Accessories:'' Primax blade, shield/fire truck roof

: Sentinel Prime was released as part of the first [[wave]] of [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|''Dark of the Moon'']] ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toys. He transforms from a Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 airport fire truck to robot and back. He comes with his sword and shield, both of which he can wield in either hand. The sword stores underneath his vehicle mode, whereas the shield folds in half and becomes part of the fire truck roof (including the boom arm). Because the boom arm has a grip at the middle that allows Sentinel to hold it in shield mode, the grip can be used as a [[C joint]] bar in vehicle mode.

: Because of clearance issues, bringing and folding his arms to his back for vehicle mode can be rather difficult. The shoulders are more likely to pop off the plastic swivels they're on.

: On some (early?) releases, the Rosenbauer logo on the right side of the truck is reversed.

**''Accessories:'' Primax blade, shield

: Dark Sentinel Prime is a redeco of the previous ''Cyberverse'' Sentinel Prime. He's... lighter, but has some ''evil''-looking red eyes. The color changes of the unpaintable plastic makes his robot mode somehow screen-accurate, save for some of his chest & vehicle kibble deco differences.

*'''Sentinel Prime''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Cannon Sentinel Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date: '''[[2011]]-[[August 13|08-13]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA20'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Boom Lift/[[Fusion cannon]]

:Sentinel Prime is in the third wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' ''[[MechTech]]'' Voyagers. He converts from a Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 airport fire truck to robot and back. He features an itty-bitty flip out nozzle on his front. His rotating and extending MechTech Boom Lift (which looks like a giant cannon due to the [[5 mm post|peg]] at the tip) becomes a Fusion Cannon when a large button is pushed, but only if the button (which is rotatable) has its underside tabs aligned with its respective sockets on the weapon housing. The weapon can be locked in this mode if the button is rotated while pressed. The weapon itself features a MechTech port on each side panel, with the aforementioned peg at the tip of the Boom Lift.

:While his firetruck roof [[kibble]] is intentionally used as wings/a cape, he's still a pretty significant [[shellformer]], flopping nearly his entire firetruck side panels and front (along with his roof) onto his back, with only his wheels, leg panels, and feet being integrated in any way with his vehicle mode.

:Like the Cyberverse Dark Sentinel Prime, this figure's Autobot symbols are deliberately scratched out. However, his box bio remains coy about his true nature.

:As with all Japanese Dark of the Moon releases, Sentinel Prime (named Cannon Sentinel Prime) comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game. The toy was originally solicited as "New Sentinel Prime"

: His vehicle stock photos are mistransformed, with the back panels covering the rear wheels and the roof rack folded down instead of up.

====Leader Class toys====
[[File:DOTMtoy-SentinelPrimeMechtechLeader.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2.2|Live-action hyper goldfish!]]
*'''Sentinel Prime''' (MechTech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA02'''
**''Accessories:'' Primax Blade, MechTech Shield/Bladed Blaster

:''MechTech'' Leader Class Sentinel Prime converts from a Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 airport fire truck to robot and back! In vehicle mode, he features a rotating, extending firefighting boom arm, a small flip-up nozzle on the front fender, and siren lights and sounds, activated by a small grey button on the roof of the cabin. There are two [[5 mm post]] hole MechTech ports in this mode; the one on the right hand side of the vehicle has a button inside, that when pushed in (by plugging in a MechTech weapon), activates a weapon deploying sound effect. Pressing the cabin roof button in this mode activates a weapon firing sound. Removing the MechTech weapon activates the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation sound effect]].

:A [[Stealth Force]]-style attack vehicle mode can be formed by opening panels on the rearward sides of the vehicle to expose hidden weapons (that look like missiles) and two more MechTech ports, activating the MechTech Shield's Bladed Blaster mode (by pressing the large button on it marked by the [[Cyberglyphics]]) and attaching that to the vehicle MechTech ports, and clipping the Primax Blade's handle into the two tabs on top of the Shield/Bladed Blaster's turret. In a reversal of his Cyberverse toy, Sentinel's double-bladed Primax Blade folds in half and stores underneath the grey panels forming the roof of much of the vehicle, while the MechTech shield is stored under the truck.

:In robot mode, when the button on Sentinel Prime's chest is pushed, his eyes light up, his chin moves and he says "I am Sentinel Prime!" Two more phrases, "Good to see you alive, Optimus." and "What has happened to the [[AllSpark]]?" are heard when a weapon is inserted into the MechTech port with the button inside of it and the chest button pushed. Unfortunately, international releases of the toy only say the cut-down phrase "Sentinel Prime" (replacing the extra phrases with an electronic pulsing noise and another transformation sound effect) due to the need for the figure to be released in non-English-speaking markets. The siren lights and sounds can still be activated by pressing the grey button back and to the left of Sentinel Prime's head.

:In this mode, Sentinel has four more 5mm MechTech ports: one each on either shoulder and one each on either forearm. If that's still not enough, the screw holes under his wrists can accommodate 5mm weapons as well, for a total of eight weapons beyond those included with the figure. The Primax Blade and Shield can both be held via their respective handles in either of Sentinel's articulated hands; the shield can also be plugged into the MechTech port in Sentinel's forearms. While (possibly) unintended, one of his sword’s blades can be popped off to simulate the Primax blade’s one-sided form seen in the movie.

:The red detailing on the shield as seen in the stock photography is not present on the final product.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

**''Kreons'': Sentinel Prime, [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Soundwave]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Thundercracker]], [[Fire Chief (Kre-O)|Fire Chief]]

:Sentinel is part of the first [[wave]] of ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets and can be built in either robot or ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' inspired fire truck mode. A Kreon can fit in his cab.

:Like many other Kre-O sets, the stock photography features robot construction that differs from the final product. Sentinel Prime's shoulders, feet, and legs are a bit different than on the actual toy. The stock photography actually shows a robot mode that is more similar to his appearance in Dark of the Moon; specifically the shielded shoulders and pointed feet.

:Sentinel Prime's head shape is based on ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]]. The design of the Sentinel Prime Kreon is inspired by [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#2005 IDW continuity|IDW (2005) Sentinel Prime]]'s appearance in the ''[[The Transformers: Megatron Origin|Megatron Origin]]'' comic series, and his helmet is based on (and was later used for) Generation 1 [[Inferno (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Inferno]].

:"Galvatron Factory Battle" is based on [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]]'s factory complex, and one component of the playset build incorporates Sentinel Prime's severed head in a clear jar. He does not sport a helmet, likely due to the small size of the jar.

***''Fist strength'': '''980'''

***''Sword strength'': '''190'''

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Bot Shots (toyline)|Bot Shots]]'', Sentinel Prime is a teeny little fire truck with a spring-loaded automatic transformation to robot mode triggered when his front bumper is pressed. He has a "spinner" in his chest that shows his three attack types and power levels. He is heavily based on the live-action movie sentinel Prime, with his head based on the above Sentinel ''Kre-O'' figure (which is in turn inspired by ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]]'s head).

:As this "Super Bot" of this wave, Sentinel is mostly unpainted clear-plastic, has different power ratings (Including a much higher "Fist" score) than his (later) normal release, and is [[shortpacking|shortpacked]] to boot.

:This mold was also used to make ''Bot Shots'' [[Hot Spot (G1)#Bot Shots|Protectobot Hot Spot]] and the main body for ''BeCool'' [[Ganoh#BeCool|Ganoh]].

**''Accessories'': [[Primax Blade]], Firehose, "[[Chicago]] Warzone" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Sentinel Prime is a Voyager Class mold accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'', transforming to a Rosenbauer fire engine in 32 steps. He comes with a new [[Primax Blade]] accessory that splits in two for transformation and a cardboard backdrop display depicting a war-torn Chicago. His Primax Blade must be separated so that each end can be plugged into both sides of Sentinel's hand. However, unlike previous figures of the character, he does not come with a shield. His firehose can be detached and has a (short) 5mm peg, which can make it a makeshift weapon, albeit with a loose fit. However, the strut that the hose attaches to and the hose itself are made of flexible plastic that does not like to detach easily and can result in stretching that either leave stress marks, or worse, make the joint not clip together firmly anymore.

:Though more of a coincidence, the tab on Sentinel's left forearm can attach with the rectangular hole behind the [[Sentinel_Prime_(ROTF)#Leader_Class_toys|Mechtech Leader Class]]' shield.

:[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjTwjjoesw8 There are two ways his back cape can be configured.]

:What is noteworthy is that, as a nod to his betrayal in the film, this is the first toy of Sentinel to be explicitly classified as a Decepticon on his box, though he has a red Autobot-themed instruction booklet.

Transformers: Shadows Rising

Cybertron Forever: I hope this is not speculation!

{{videogame
|title= Transformers: Shadows Rising''
|prev=Transformers: Human Alliance
|image= Transformers-Shadows-Rising-Cabinet.jpg
|caption= Sit comfortably and fight!
|developer=Sega of China
|publisher=[[Sega]]
|date= [[2018]]
|platform= Sega RingEdge 2
}}

'''''Transformers: Shadows Rising''''' is an arcade rail shooter based on the [[Live-action film series|live action films]] and the follow-up to ''[[Transformers: Human Alliance]]''. Developed by [[Sega]] and released beginning in 2018, the game can be played with one or two players, and is available in a theater cabinet featuring a 55" HD screen.

==Gameplay==
Gameplay is largely identical to that of ''Human Alliance'', with up to two players using mounted gun turrets to fire at opponents on screen across four stages. The [[Pacific Ocean]], [[Wales]] and East [[China]] stages can be played in any order before moving on to the final stage, The [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. New to the game's control interface is the addition of a "Hyperenergy Tech" lever. This can be used to either create a shockwave that damages multiple enemies at once, or to generate a force field to protect the players from enemy attacks. Players can also push this lever in a specified direction at predetermined points to complete Action Sequence events and avoid potential damage. The game also includes an achievement system.

==Synopsis==
===Pacific Ocean===
Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Vanessa, Jake and a group of NEST soldiers headed to the Pacific Ocean to infiltrate a mysterious base under the sea. They battle their way against the Decepticon forces until three Decepticon Drones who resembles [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (Movie)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercreacker]] appeared to engage Optimus, thanks to Vanessa and Jake's help, Optimus kills Thundercracker and threw Starscream onto the sea. Skywarp attempted to bring them with him and exploded, but they all jump to the sea, after killing Starscream they find the base. Upon infiltrating it, both Jake and Vanessa are anchored and dragged through the corridors by an unnidentified Decepticon, another Deception who resembles Sideswipe appeared and they both engage him, after getting themselves free from the anchor and Bumblebee picked them up, the Decepticon who anchored them revealed to be identical to the one they are facing and after both of them are killed, Optimus realizes that all the unique Decepticons they killed are drones who resembles them, and the Humans couldn't have developed them.

===Wales===
Their next objective is to find out the source of an energy signal in Wales, where they could assist on the Dinobots. They're attacked by three Decepticon drones who resembles [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]], and they destroyed all of them.
After reaching the source, they are ambushed by Grimlock, who was being controlled by a device installed on his neck. After the device was destroyed, Grimlock recovered from what happened to him, Optimus then questions himself, who did that? And what for?

===East China===
Their next objective is to liberate [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]] HQ on East China, since workers were missing and the Decepticons have took control of the HQ for themselves. After reaching the rooftop, they're ambushed by an Decepticon Drone who resembles [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], after helping Sideswipe kill him, both Jake and Vanessa used sniper guns to take out the remaining 'Cons in the area.
Upon returning to the ground, they're all confronted by an Decepticon Drone who resembles Bumblebee, after destroying the drone, they access it's memories and discovered there was a [[Mothership|huge ship]] flying to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] and the missing workers were trapped inside as hostages. Optimus Prime then decided they must investigate.

===The Moon===
Their final mission is to rescue the hostages inside the ship on the moon and prevent i'ts data from being transferred, since it could be used to create an army powerful enough to decimate all life on [[Earth]]. While trying to find a way inside, Optimus Prime is ambushed by an Decepticon Drone who resembles himself, Optimus then faced him and with Vanessa and Jake's help, he triumphed over his doppelganger. After entering the ship, Optimus' clone returned, but he is soon killed by one who is behind all this Megatron. Optimus questions how is this possible, since the last time they've met He killed him, Megatron then revealed that KSI tried to analyze his corpse, but his brain was still function, and so he used their resources to build a new body and all the hostages were no longer alive. After this revelation, both Optimus and Megatron fight and with the help of Jake, Vanessa and the other Autobots, Megatron is lunched into space, before dying however, Megatron screams that he will be reborn. With everything done the data transfer is interrupted and so they went to a escape pod to return to their home, Optimus then stated that there's a diference between being a hero and being a memory.

==Quotes==
"We never never surrender!"<br>
:— '''Optimus Prime''' is apparently quick to give up.

"The light rises and shadows are gone. There's a thin line between being a hero, and being a memory. I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots."
:— '''Optimus Prime''' assembles an ending monologue from fortune cookie quotes.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* The game is set after ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' but ignore ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]''.
* Much of the cast of ''Human Alliance'' returns for ''Shadows Rising'', this time accompanied by ([[Slug (AOE)|most of]]) the Dinobots.
* The Decepticon [[Mothership|warships]] and [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighters]] from ''Dark of the Moon'' also reappear in the game.
* The M1 Abrams Decepticons from ''Dark of the Moon'' appear as enemy units.
* [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]], which was introduced in ''Age of Extinction'', appears during the East China stage.

===Transformers references===
* The assortment of enemy units are now joined by Seekers. And as is time-worn tradition, the Seekers are ([[Seeker (body-type)|obviously]]) recolors of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]].
* Just like in the previous game, various action scenes emulate those in the movies, such as Sideswipe bisecting one of his clones like he bisected [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''.
* The control room of the Decepticon warship Jake, Vanessa, and the Autobots board resembles that of [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]'s [[Knight Ship]].
* While never identified as such (the intro tag just labeling him as "Unidentified Unit"), the Optimus clone in the final stage is meant to be a version of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)|Nemesis Prime]], down to the blue flame details.
* Optimus's quote about being a hero or being a memory was said by his [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 counterpart]] back in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".

===Real-life references===

===Errors===
* You don't need to be an English major to know "We never never surrender" is both a double-negative and a pretty poor thing to shout when you're trying to encourage your troops.
* Megatron is somehow back to using his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body. And despite utilizing KSI technology to amass himself an army of Decepticons, he ''still'' hadn't attempted to fix his head wound from the same film.

===Trivia===
* During the credits, a voice will play advertising other contemporary Sega arcade titles, such as ''Hoopla'' and ''Daytona Championship USA''.

:''Sentinel Prime is an [[Autobot]] leader from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:DOTM-Sentinel-Heatscramble.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|What does [[Spock]] need with [[Ark (DOTM)|a starship]]?]]
'''Sentinel Prime''' hails from an older time when [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was the galaxy's crown jewel and the [[Transformer]] race was full of promise and potential. The only known remaining [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], he personified what a leader should be: wise, compassionate, and a more than worthy warrior. Revered by both [[Autobot]] and [[Decepticon]], few would dare stand against his shield and [[Primax Blade]].

But when Sentinel was presumably lost forever aboard the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], his hand-picked successor, was left to fill his void. The loss of Sentinel signaled the end of Cybertron's golden age, and the planet spiraled deeper into war. Some who recall Sentinel's reign bitterly remember when Transformers were masters of their fate, rather than scattered to the stars and living as exiles. Above all, Sentinel Prime is a staunch patriot. He loves his home planet with all of his [[Spark]] and will do anything—even go to extremes—to protect it.

[[File:DOTM-Sentinelsleeps.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2|Sentinel just can't get to sleep without his security [[pillar]].]]

Long ago, Sentinel Prime was the leader of the Autobots before Optimus Prime during the war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. But as the conflict dragged on, with no end in sight, Sentinel found himself forced to make a drastic choice: a secret alliance with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. Believing that it was only through the sacrifice of another world that Cybertron could be restored, Sentinel developed teleportational [[space bridge]] technology to transport resources across interstellar distances—but, knowing that Optimus would never condone his course of action, Sentinel kept his plans a secret, claiming the bridge was a means of transporting troops into battle. Sentinel's intention was to depart for the chosen planet—[[Earth]]—and meet Megatron there later, but during the battle that erupted around the departure of Sentinel's ship the [[Ark (DOTM)|''Ark'']], the vessel was damaged and sent spiralling off into the depths of space, presumed lost forever. The war was left to continue with none save Megatron aware of Sentinel's treachery.

In [[1961]], the ''Ark'' crashed on Earth's [[moon (moon)|moon]]. The impact was detected by [[NASA]], triggering the space race of the 1960s and leading to the [[United States of America]]'s eventual first trip to the moon in [[1969]], which was secretly an attempt to inspect the crashed alien ship. However, before [[Apollo 11]] got there, a team of Decepticons led by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], who had tracked the vessel, removed the majority of the space bridge [[pillar]]s from the ship to keep them out of human hands. The NASA astronauts found no trace of them, nor of Sentinel himself, safely sealed in the ship's crash vault with five remaining pillars.

[[File:DOTM-SentinelOptimusMatrix.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2|"Sorry Optimus, I don't want it. Because when I kill someone, I want them to ''stay'' dead."]]

In the present day, a mission to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]] resulted in Optimus Prime's Autobots discovery of a piece of the ''Ark'', which had been recovered by a later Russian moon mission. Demanding information from new National Security Director [[Charlotte Mearing]], Optimus learned that the ship was on the moon, and subsequently traveled there with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] to find and retrieve Sentinel Prime. Taking his mentor's body back to Earth, Optimus revived him with the [[Matrix of Leadership]], and Sentinel awoke in a crazed rage, briefly attacking Optimus before coming to his senses. Sentinel explained the space bridge to the Autobots and humans, lamenting the seeming loss of the pillars that the Decepticons had stolen, and took an immediate dislike to Mearing when she ordered the few remaining pillars taken into custody. Optimus proceeded to give Sentinel a tour of Earth, which led the old Autobot to marvel at the beauty and the life of the planet, after which Optimus offered Sentinel the Matrix back. Sentinel turned it down, feeling unable to lead on a planet he did not know, and telling Optimus that he was now his teacher, rather than his protege.

[[File:DOTMSentinelOptimus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2|Give me ''your'' face!]]

Discovering evidence that the Decepticons held the missing pillars, the Autobots' young human ally [[Sam Witwicky]] believed that the villains would soon be coming after Sentinel Prime, since only he could activate the technology. Several Autobots escorted Sentinel Prime back to NEST headquarters, fending off a [[Dread (DOTM)|team of Decepticons]] along the way, but once they had arrived at their destination, Sentinel allowed his facade to drop. Knowing that all was in readiness, he revealed his centuries-long alliance with Megatron by slaying [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] with his [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] cannon, tearing NEST headquarters apart to reclaim the pillars, and departing to meet his Decepticon co-conspirators at the [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln Memorial]]. There, Sentinel opened a small space bridge portal above, through which Decepticon troops in waiting on the moon poured. Optimus Prime arrived and pleaded with Sentinel to stop, but Sentinel refused, leading to a battle between the two. Sentinel overpowered his former pupil, but spared his life.

[[File:DOTM-SentinelandMegatron.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2|Sentinel and his new hobo friend.]]

Sentinel proceeded to deceive the [[United Nations]], claiming that he and the Decepticons would harmlessly take the resources they needed from Earth and depart with no further bloodshed if Optimus and his "Autobot rebels" were exiled from the planet. The humans wasted no time in agreeing, and the [[Xantium (DOTM)|''Xantium'']] was launched with Earth's remaining eleven Autobots inside... whereupon [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] blew the shuttle to bits. With their primary opponents now believed obliterated, the Decepticons set about conquering the city of [[Chicago]] and positioning pillars in strategic locations around the world. Megatron gloated over the success of their partnership, but Sentinel was quick to violently and physically remind him that he was working ''with'' Megatron, not ''for'' him.

With the pillars in place, Sentinel activated the space bridge, opening a huge portal above the Earth through which Cybertron itself began to materialize. Earth was not without defenders, however: Optimus and the Autobots had, in fact, staged their deaths, and had arrived in Chicago to stop Sentinel's plot. Optimus shot out the control pillar, deactivating the bridge, leading a furious Sentinel to engage him in battle once more. Unlike their last bout, Optimus held his own, leading Sentinel to call upon Decepticon fighter ships to fire on his ex-apprentice, while he broke off to fight his way through the other Autobots in an attempt to escape. NEST soldiers destroyed the ships, allowing Optimus to pursue Sentinel and re-engage him, but this time, Sentinel took the upper hand when he severed one of Optimus's arms.

[[File:DOTM-allIeverwanted.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2|Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?]]
Just before Sentinel could deliver the killing blow, however, he came under attack from Megatron, who, thanks to the goading of Sam's girlfriend [[Carly Spencer]], had realized the threat Sentinel posed to his leadership and had decided to once again take his rightful place at the top of the command chain. At the same time, the other Autobots destroyed the reactivated control pillar, thus destroying the space bridge and apparently Cybertron with it. Though Megatron's attack on Sentinel saved Optimus's life, the Autobot leader refused Megatron's offer of a truce and killed his eternal foe, leaving Optimus and the now-badly-damaged Sentinel alone once more. Sentinel abandoned his pride; he pleaded with Optimus for mercy, claiming all he ever wanted was the survival of their race. Optimus countered that Sentinel hadn't betrayed the Autobots, but rather ''himself'', and as his treacherous mentor howled at the ruination of his plans, Optimus unceremoniously executed Sentinel Prime with Megatron's fusion shotgun. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{note|Sentinel Prime's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel]]"; the "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation]]" and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; and the storybooks "[[Autobots Versus Decepticons]]," "[[Optimus Prime's Friends and Foes]]," "[[The Lost Autobot]]," "[[Dark of the Moon: Action Pop-ups!]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Mix & Match]]." Several adaptations include plot points from earlier drafts of the film, including Sentinel killing [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] along with Ironhide; his willingness to kill Optimus at the Lincoln Memorial, sparing him instead only to save the pillars when they come under attack; and his being slain by Optimus using his own Cosmic Rust cannon, rather than Megatron's weapon.}}

After the battle of Chicago, Sentinel's head was recovered by [[Joshua Joyce]]'s [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]] to be used to help manufacture their own Transformers. [[Brains]] personally worked on it along with the remains of other fallen Transformers. Five years later, Sentinel himself was listed as "deceased" by the CIA taskforce "[[Cemetery Wind]]". {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Foundation1-SentinelPrimeaword.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|"That word is ''fart''."]]
Sentinel Prime was a direct descendant of the first Cybertronian, [[Primus]], and was believed to be the last of the [[Prime (rank)|Primes]]. He told tales to his much younger Cybertronian brethren of how the [[Dynasty of Primes]] had called upon a legendary artifact, the star-powered [[AllSpark]], to give life to their world. But the AllSpark had been lost to history, and their world had tumbled through the cosmos without a star to orbit for eons. Sentinel Prime had plans to rectify this, and he gathered followers who believed in his path to a new age of life on Cybertron. With the help of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], and their legions, they searched the planet for the legendary artifact and a way to power it. However, there were the [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]], a tribe of separatist Transformers who disbelieved in Sentinel Prime's vision, and warred against him and his followers. This conflict ended when, with the help of [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]], a sun to orbit was brought to Cybertron, and the AllSpark discovered and energized.

[[File:Foundation1 freedom.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.2|"Hey, a body! Buff, tanned... yeah, this is mine alright."]]

Though Sentinel Prime had finally returned the forgotten concept of "freedom" back to Cybertron, he felt he no longer had a part in its path to the future. He was old and tired, and spoke in confidence to Optimus, believing that young Autobot was also part of the Prime lineage and requesting that he take on the mantle of leadership. Though Optimus was too humble to accept, not believing Sentinel's claims about his heritage, Megatron overheard their conversation and became jealous of his "brother." {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Sentinel formulated another plan for Cybertron's future: it would be governed by Optimus's [[Science Division]] and Megatron's [[Defense Force]]. By having Optimus investigate the remains of the Primes' civilization, it would encourage him to believe in his lineage. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

Alas, after two generations of successful shared leadership, Megatron fell under the sway of [[The Fallen]], and reshaped his Defense Force as the [[Decepticon]]s, declaring war on Cybertron. Sentinel Prime was at the archaeological dig in Simfur when the first strike took place, and was quick to opt for a technique of self-preservation, rather than attempting to save the Science Division's work. Optimus soon arrived to fend the Decepticons off, and revealed that his studies had proven the truth of Sentinel's words: he was indeed a descendant of the Primes. He did not believe that this made him a born leader, but Sentinel impressed upon Optimus the necessity that he take up command of the [[Autobot]]s, that Cybertron might be saved from Megatron's destructive ambitions.

[[File:Foundation3 sentinels torch.jpg|left|thumb|"Jim... I am, and forever shall be, your friend."]]

As time passed, and the war rolled on with no signs of stopping, Sentinel Prime was forced to make a deal with Megatron to seek out another planet whose resources they can exploit to restore their homeworld. The chosen planet was the resting place of the Primes' Star Harvester. Sentinel recreated the Primes' lost [[space bridge]] technology, fashioning hundreds of pillars that would form a bridge large enough to teleport Cybertron itself across the cosmos {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3|Dark of the Moon #3}} Sentinel then invented a mysterious "torch" that he promised would end the war. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} The torch had to be brought into contact with the AllSpark to be activated, so the Autobots launched an attack on the Simfur temple to carry out this action while Sentinel stood by with a spacecraft, the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], to await delivery of the active torch. [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita One]] soon returned with the torch, at which point Sentinel instructed Wheeljack to take the [[Ark (Movie)|second Ark]] and collect the remaining Autobots from [[Tyger Pax]], while he himself headed to Simfur to collect Optimus's forces. Upon arrival at Simfur, however, Sentinel's Ark was attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and was consumed by a huge explosion, leaving all present to believe it, Sentinel, and all aboard had been destroyed. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

In actuality, Sentinel's Ark had not been vaporized as believed: it had been teleported away by the [[space bridge]] technology it was outfitted with. With all hands knocked into stasis by the explosion, the ship automatically jinked through space and time on a series of random space bridge jumps, until at last, its sensors locked on to the energy of the AllSpark, which had since been ejected from Cybertron and had crash-landed on the planet [[Earth]]. On its penultimate jump, the Ark crossed paths with the Decepticon ship ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', which had departed Cybertron just as the war was beginning, and was now also following the AllSpark's trail. The Ark materialized from its jump into the same physical space as the ''Nemesis'', crippling both ships beyond repair; the Ark made one final bridge jump, reappearing in the immediate vicinity of Earth in 1962, where it crashed violently onto Earth's [[moon (moon)|Moon]]. All the Autobots aboard perished save for Sentinel himself, who was in the crash vault and remained slumbering in stasis. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1|Convergence chapter 1}}

===Titan movie comics===
Sentinel was a direct descendant of [[Primus]], the first Cybertronian, and one of the last surviving Primes. With a firm but just hand, he ruled the Autobots before the war. During the war, he named Optimus his successor before departing on a mission into deep space, only for his ship to be shot down by enemy fire...

But his Ark merely crashed somewhere near Earth in 1962, a fragment of it landing in Fiesole, [[Italy]]. When a human discovered it in 2011, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] tried to prevent the Autobots from getting that fragment and finding their way to the lost Ark. The Autobots finding Sentinel was ''not'' an option for Starscream and the concept unnerved him... Apparently, the fragment had the power to make martyrs of the good and bad alike. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.1|Fight for Fiesole}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
In [[Tyran 609.23-PX Kappa]], Megatron, rather than Optimus Prime, defeated [[The Fallen]]. Megatron went on to gather his army and wage a successful campaign against the Autobots and [[NEST]] on Earth. Falling for baited clues that [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] left for [[Sam Witwicky]], Optimus Prime took the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' to the Moon. Backed into a desperate corner by the Decepticon offensive, Optimus revived Sentinel Prime right on the lunar surface. With Sentinel's aid, Megatron defeated and captured Optimus. With the aid of collaborationist humans, Megatron used space bridge technology to bring Cybertron to Earth orbit, and under [[Dylan Gould]]'s leadership, humans were put to work strip-mining Earth for resources to rebuild Cybertron.

All of this changed when [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] arrived. The bounty hunter demanded that Optimus be handed over to him. Megatron and Sentinel both refused, the former out of pride and the latter out of loyalty. Lockdown then offered a protomatter [[seed]] to Sentinel in exchange for Optimus. While Sentinel was sorely tempted, Optimus used the opportunity to reignite Sentinel's sense of justice. Sentinel proceeded to pretend to hand over Optimus, ambush and defeat Lockdown, and capture Lockdown's [[Knight Ship|ship]]. Allying themselves with the legendary [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]]s, Optimus and Sentinel waged a long guerilla campaign against Megatron and the Decepticons, eventually restoring freedom to Earth and revitalizing Cybertron with the seed. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/22}}

**''Series'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''002'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV05'''
**''Accessories:'' Primax blade, shield/fire truck roof

: Sentinel Prime was released as part of the first [[wave]] of [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|''Dark of the Moon'']] ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toys. He transforms from a Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 airport fire truck to robot and back. He comes with his sword and shield, both of which he can wield in either hand. The sword stores underneath his vehicle mode, whereas the shield folds in half and becomes part of the fire truck roof (including the boom arm). Because the boom arm has a grip at the middle that allows Sentinel to hold it in shield mode, the grip can be used as a [[C joint]] bar in vehicle mode.

: Because of clearance issues, bringing and folding his arms to his back for vehicle mode can be rather difficult. The shoulders are more likely to pop off the plastic swivels they're on.

: On some (early?) releases, the Rosenbauer logo on the right side of the truck is reversed.

**''Japanese Release Date: '''[[2011]]-[[August 13|08-13]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA20'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Boom Lift/[[Fusion cannon]]

:Sentinel Prime is in the third wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' ''[[MechTech]]'' Voyagers. He converts from a Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 airport fire truck to robot and back. He features an itty-bitty flip out nozzle on his front. His rotating and extending MechTech Boom Lift (which looks like a giant cannon due to the [[5 mm post|peg]] at the tip) becomes a Fusion Cannon when a large button is pushed, but only if the button (which is rotatable) has its underside tabs aligned with its respective sockets on the weapon housing. The weapon can be locked in this mode if the button is rotated while pressed. The weapon itself features a MechTech port on each side panel, with the aforementioned peg at the tip of the Boom Lift.

:While his firetruck roof [[kibble]] is intentionally used as wings/a cape, he's still a pretty significant [[shellformer]], flopping nearly his entire firetruck side panels and front (along with his roof) onto his back, with only his wheels, leg panels, and feet being integrated in any way with his vehicle mode.

:Like the Cyberverse Dark Sentinel Prime, this figure's Autobot symbols are deliberately scratched out. However, his box bio remains coy about his true nature.

:As with all Japanese Dark of the Moon releases, Sentinel Prime (named Cannon Sentinel Prime) comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game. The toy was originally solicited as "New Sentinel Prime"

: His vehicle stock photos are mistransformed, with the back panels covering the rear wheels and the roof rack folded down instead of up.

*'''Sentinel Prime''' (MechTech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA02'''
**''Accessories:'' Primax Blade, MechTech Shield/Bladed Blaster

:''MechTech'' Leader Class Sentinel Prime converts from a Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 airport fire truck to robot and back! In vehicle mode, he features a rotating, extending firefighting boom arm, a small flip-up nozzle on the front fender, and siren lights and sounds, activated by a small grey button on the roof of the cabin. There are two [[5 mm post]] hole MechTech ports in this mode; the one on the right hand side of the vehicle has a button inside, that when pushed in (by plugging in a MechTech weapon), activates a weapon deploying sound effect. Pressing the cabin roof button in this mode activates a weapon firing sound. Removing the MechTech weapon activates the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation sound effect]].

:A [[Stealth Force]]-style attack vehicle mode can be formed by opening panels on the rearward sides of the vehicle to expose hidden weapons (that look like missiles) and two more MechTech ports, activating the MechTech Shield's Bladed Blaster mode (by pressing the large button on it marked by the [[Cyberglyphics]]) and attaching that to the vehicle MechTech ports, and clipping the Primax Blade's handle into the two tabs on top of the Shield/Bladed Blaster's turret. In a reversal of his Cyberverse toy, Sentinel's double-bladed Primax Blade folds in half and stores underneath the grey panels forming the roof of much of the vehicle, while the MechTech shield is stored under the truck.

:In robot mode, when the button on Sentinel Prime's chest is pushed, his eyes light up, his chin moves and he says "I am Sentinel Prime!" Two more phrases, "Good to see you alive, Optimus." and "What has happened to the [[AllSpark]]?" are heard when a weapon is inserted into the MechTech port with the button inside of it and the chest button pushed. Unfortunately, international releases of the toy only say the cut-down phrase "Sentinel Prime" (replacing the extra phrases with an electronic pulsing noise and another transformation sound effect) due to the need for the figure to be released in non-English-speaking markets. The siren lights and sounds can still be activated by pressing the grey button back and to the left of Sentinel Prime's head.

:In this mode, Sentinel has four more 5mm MechTech ports: one each on either shoulder and one each on either forearm. If that's still not enough, the screw holes under his wrists can accommodate 5mm weapons as well, for a total of eight weapons beyond those included with the figure. The Primax Blade and Shield can both be held via their respective handles in either of Sentinel's articulated hands; the shield can also be plugged into the MechTech port in Sentinel's forearms. While (possibly) unintended, one of his sword’s blades can be popped off to simulate the Primax blade’s one-sided form seen in the movie.

:The red detailing on the shield as seen in the stock photography is not present on the final product.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

[[File:Sentinel Prime Kre-O.jpg‎|thumb|upright=1.4|Is he a traitor, a [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|jerk]], or will he just [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|show up and die?]] We don't know yet.]]
*'''Sentinel Prime''' (2011)
**''Set number'': '''30687'''
**''Pieces'': '''386'''
**''Kreons'': Sentinel Prime, [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Soundwave]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Thundercracker]], [[Fire Chief (Kre-O)|Fire Chief]]

:Sentinel is part of the first [[wave]] of ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets and can be built in either robot or ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' inspired fire truck mode. A Kreon can fit in his cab.

:Like many other Kre-O sets, the stock photography features robot construction that differs from the final product. Sentinel Prime's shoulders, feet, and legs are a bit different than on the actual toy. The stock photography actually shows a robot mode that is more similar to his appearance in Dark of the Moon; specifically the shielded shoulders and pointed feet.

:Sentinel Prime's head shape is based on ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]]. The design of the Sentinel Prime Kreon is inspired by [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#2005 IDW continuity|IDW (2005) Sentinel Prime]]'s appearance in the ''[[The Transformers: Megatron Origin|Megatron Origin]]'' comic series, and his helmet is based on (and was later used for) Generation 1 [[Inferno (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Inferno]].

:"Galvatron Factory Battle" is based on [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]]'s factory complex, and one component of the playset build incorporates Sentinel Prime's severed head in a clear jar. He does not sport a helmet, likely due to the small size of the jar.

***''Fist strength'': '''980'''
***''Blaster strength'': '''630'''
***''Sword strength'': '''190'''

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Bot Shots (toyline)|Bot Shots]]'', Sentinel Prime is a teeny little fire truck with a spring-loaded automatic transformation to robot mode triggered when his front bumper is pressed. He has a "spinner" in his chest that shows his three attack types and power levels. He is heavily based on the live-action movie sentinel Prime, with his head based on the above Sentinel ''Kre-O'' figure (which is in turn inspired by ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]]'s head).

:As this "Super Bot" of this wave, Sentinel is mostly unpainted clear-plastic, has different power ratings (Including a much higher "Fist" score) than his (later) normal release, and is [[shortpacking|shortpacked]] to boot.

:This mold was also used to make ''Bot Shots'' [[Hot Spot (G1)#Bot Shots|Protectobot Hot Spot]] and the main body for ''BeCool'' [[Ganoh#BeCool|Ganoh]].

**''Japanese release date'': '''[[April 25]], 2020'''
**''Accessories'': [[Primax Blade]], Firehose, "[[Chicago]] Warzone" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Sentinel Prime is a Voyager Class mold accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'', transforming to a Rosenbauer fire engine in 32 steps. He comes with a new [[Primax Blade]] accessory that splits in two for transformation and a cardboard backdrop display depicting a war-torn Chicago. His Primax Blade must be separated so that each end can be plugged into both sides of Sentinel's hand. However, unlike previous figures of the character, he does not come with a shield. His firehose can be detached and has a (short) 5mm peg, which can make it a makeshift weapon, albeit with a loose fit. However, the strut that the hose attaches to and the hose itself are made of flexible plastic that does not like to detach easily and can result in stretching that either leave stress marks, or worse, make the joint not clip together firmly anymore.

:Though more of a coincidence, the tab on Sentinel's left forearm can attach with the rectangular hole behind the [[Sentinel_Prime_(ROTF)#Leader_Class_toys|Mechtech Leader Class]]' shield.

:[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjTwjjoesw8 There are two ways his back cape can be configured.]

:What is noteworthy is that, as a nod to his betrayal in the film, this is the first toy of Sentinel to be explicitly classified as a Decepticon on his box, though he has a red Autobot-themed instruction booklet.

User talk:Cybertron Forever

Cybertron Forever: /* Regarding your edits on the Dylan Gould-related pages */ I forgot to put my sign.

== Dylan Gould's pets ==

How many pets does Dylan Gould has? because in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], when the [[Chicago]] invasion began, he mentioned dogs in plural when he ordered their transfer to the back of his apartment in [[Trump Tower]], which means is more than one, and later when [[Carly Spencer|his prisioner]] was observing [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel]] through a telescope, it's possible to see two dogs, but i fear that he has more than just two, and more animal species beyond just dogs as pets. If anyone knows how many he has, just type it here the answer. Thanks! --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 10:15, 23 November 2020 (EST)
:I'm currently rewatching the film right now and I just wanted to let you know that from what I can see, Dylan only refers to them on-screen as "the dogs". I'll wait until the credits and see If I can find anything else that may make mention of them. If you're serious about making a page for them I think the most suitable name for the page would be '''Dylan Gould's Dogs'''. If you would like, I would be more than willing to start the page and the dog actor pages up with the information that we and Abates have found on them. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 03:15, 8 December 2020 (EST)
::Just thought I'd update you, we've made the pages for the [[Dylan Gould's watchdogs|in-film roles]] and the [[Shooter and Hottie|actors themselves]]. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 02:55, 9 December 2020 (EST)

== Signing ==

:Please type four tildes like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> after each message on a talk page instead of typing your signature yourself. The wiki will automatically code your signature with an accurate timestamp. You'll also find it at the bottom of the screen in the box of templates whenever you make edits to pages under "'''Sign your name:'''"
:Thanks. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 18:29, 27 November 2020 (EST)

:Wow that's an very useful typing tip, thanks! Also did you noticed that i made talked to you in your talk page two days ago? --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 17:07, 30 November 2020 (EST)

== Deletion of character pages. ==

Do not put character pages up for deletion because the same information is on a subgroup page. Subgroup pages are not made for character read ups, only for collective plot references. Subgroup pages are made to have as little information regarding the individuals as possible as the individual character pages are made for that purpose. As for the [[Twins (ROTF)|Twins]] page, there are still discussions on Discord being carried out on whether or not the page should exist. We admit that it is not very fair on the other users that aren't in the Discord server as the discussions can't be seen by them, but this is the only way we have been able to reply instantly and not have questions that would usually be made in discussion pages being left unanswered. Also, on a side note, please read talk pages on main articles before making any big edits, as there can sometimes be crucial information found there (ie: the Twins page discussion on only have their combined toys listed).

We thank you for your dedication into making pages and edits into things that we have missed. We are all guilty of making mistakes from time to time, so no harm done, that's the beauty of being able to revert and edit things! [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 18:04, 15 December 2020 (EST)

:It's ok, i also make mistakes sometimes, it won't happen again. Thanks! --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 21:04, 19 December 2020 (EST)

== Before you make any big changes... ==
Hello! I've noticed you taking on large projects and performing large edits. In general, before you carry out a task like that, please discuss it either on the [[Transformers Wiki talk:Community Portal|Community Portal]] or our [https://discord.com/channels/656241088826441729/656248887534944265 Discord page]. I highly recommend the Discord, since you can often talk with other editors in real time! Please do ''not'' make decisions to do large edits by using a particular user's talk page (such as abates or Fanofcoolstuff). That won't get you the consensus of other editors. Thank you! [[User:Prime Radiant|Prime Radiant]] ([[User talk:Prime Radiant|talk]]) 18:19, 17 January 2021 (EST)

==Changing image captions==
As per [[Transformers Wiki:Captions|our captions policy]], you should not be changing image captions written by other users (unless there is a community consensus that a joke is bad/offensive/etc.). Please do not keep changing the caption on the Dino article – consider this a formal warning on the matter. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 16:36, 28 January 2021 (EST)

== Talk page edits ==

Hi, please don't make small talk page edits to complain no one has responded to you yet. People will respond to your messages when and if they can. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 21:44, 31 January 2021 (EST)

==Talk page use==

Please cease using talk pages for trying to start discussions on fan theories you have, they are meant for discussions on improving the page, not fanon. [[User:McBaggins|McBaggins]] ([[User talk:McBaggins|talk]]) 21:39, 11 February 2021 (EST)

:Okay, i won't do it again. In fact, every mistake i do that everyone talk to me about in my talk page i fix and stop repeating, Prime Radiant once told me to talk about big changes on the community portal, and now i'm doing that. Jalaguy, told me to not change the image captions made other users, so i'm not doing this anymore. Abates told me to not make small edits to complain no one has replied to me, so i'm not doing it. So if i'm saying i won't use talk pages to start discussions my theories, than i won't do it never again. You have my word. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 23:15, 11 February 2021 (EST)

== Some writing tips. ==

{{correctenglish}}
Hi there, first of all I wanted to say that your collaborations to the wiki are very appreciated, but please be a little more careful with your grammar and always proofread your edits before saving them. You frequently mispells the names of characters/movies/TV shows/etc and writes some of their initial letters in lowercase when they should be in uppercase. I also noticed that you sometimes try to translate by yourself the titles of movies and TV shows from their Brazilian titles back to English, when it would take you mere seconds to search the web for their actual original titles and use them instead. And one more tip, the correct spelling is always "a Brazilian" and never "an Brazilian".

Again, you're doing a fine job overall so please don't take this badly, I just want to help you improve your skills before your edits start to be reverted for not being up to standards.--[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 14:40, 19 February 2021 (EST)

== Regarding your edits on the Dylan Gould-related pages ==

Can you please stop on the undo-edits war? And as the others have said, you're reading a bit too much into it regarding Dylan. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 18:44, 24 February 2021 (EST)

:Sorry if i caused trouble by doing that but the thing is the edits that i've done on those pages are based on what i found out by reading the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|DOTM novelization]] and the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|IDW comic adaptation]], and i'm including them here so that they can be more complete. And the reason i'm doing this with them is because i HATE DYLAN GOULD! I hate him so much that just by looking at his face or his bodyguards or [[Dylan Gould's assistant|his assistant]] or [[Dylan Gould's watchdogs|his dogs]], i have the feeling that i gonna have an heart-attack. I only created his assistant's page so that i could create the page about [[Hotchkiss Gould Investments]], since i decided i would create it once the company's most known employees had their pages, and his assistant was the only one who didn't have-it at that time. And i asked about creating an article about his dogs since i couldn't help but to feel sorry for them, from being adopted by an evil human and to be traumatized by hearing the fire that killed all of his body guards in the attack at [[Trump Tower]] and surviving the onslaught just like how Dylan did. I know that what i said about his body guards dying in the slaughter sounds like speculation, but read the parts where i talked to Abates and Fanocoolstuff27 in [[User_talk:Abates#Human_Collaborators|their]] [[User_talk:Fanofcoolstuff27#Human_Collaborators|talk]] pages to learn more. And i'm still talking with them about it, in fact i found more evidences about that fact in the novelization and comic adaptation themselves and i'll tell this to them later. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 19:17, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::If you hate Dylan so much maybe you should consider not editing his page anymore. --[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 20:06, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::I want to stop, but first i need to include every single info about him and everything related to him that everyone here are still glossing over. Exemple: in the novel and comic adaptation Dylan ordered [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to execute the Autobot prisoners just because [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] destroyed his apartment. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 20:16, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::::That you want to add info to the wiki about Gould and his company is fine. In regards to you "hating" Gould, like Fritz said, you would be better off of not editing his page in the future, because those recent edits aren't contributing anything substantive to the wiki. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 20:26, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::::I will stop, i just need to make this edit about this detail in her page that his assistant was killed after the party where he revealed to [[Sam Witwicky]] that he works for the Decepticons, that in the novel and comic he ordered Soundwave to kill the prisoners because of what Bumblebee did to his apartment, and that his body guards died in the slaughter that occurred in Trump Tower and i'm done with it. His assistant's death is obvious since she is a human collaborator and in the movie [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] ordered them to kill all the collaborators in the moment set in africa, but his body guards' deaths is gonna be hard to convince, since almost everyone on this wiki don't believe that, only Renato, my parents, our friends from college before Renato and i got married and the members from our transformers' fan club do believe that, specially because they're the one who showed me evidences of their deaths in the novelization and IDW comic adaptation, so before i do those edits, i'll talk to Abates and Fanocoolstuff27 first. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 22:23, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::::::This is ''still'' just speculation. She doesn't appear any further in the film past the big reveal of working with the Decepticons. Please stop trying to convince us of speculative information that isn't displayed in any media. The wiping out of collaborators took place at the beginning-to-mid section of the film, Dylan Gould's revelation takes place in the mid-to-end section. There is absolutely no evidence that Dylan's workers were killed as part of Laserbeak/Soundwave/any other Decepticon's assassinations, nor Bumblebee's gun fire on the apartment.

They were killed because they're collaborators and Megatron ordered them to '''''kill all of them''''', his assistant was probably killed after the party just happening off-screen and as i read in the answers to my questions in [[Talk:Hotchkiss Gould Investments|his company's talk page]] we can only include facts established onscreen, so i won't edit her page, but his body guards did died, because we saw them panicking when Bumblebee opened fire at the apartment and he did that because he felt that they should all pay for their crimes with their lives, besides as i'm saying a lot of times on Fanocoolstuff27 and Abates pages, besides that there is the superhero movie clichê where the villain and all of his henchmen are standing still, witnessing the hero escape after saving the one they love, and that happened in the film in the form of Dylan approaching the edge of his apartment after the fire was over and as we could see, no body guards where with him to see the Orbital Assault Carrier falling from the sky, nor they were with him when he approached [[35 East Wacker]] to inform about the Autobots' survival and didn't even shown their disgustingly ugly faces when Dylan ordered Soundwave to kill the prisoners. Last but no least, in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|''DOTM'' novelization]] Dylan survived the onslaught by throwing himself backward, hitting the floor on the opposite side of the living room from where the fire was occuring, and at the time Bumblebee opened fire, everyone inside Trump Tower where on the room that was obliterated by the guns' bullets (that's the evidence that confirms the deaths of his bodyguards that comes from the novelization that i mentioned before. I was going ti write this in Abates and Fanocoolstuff27's talk pages, but because of what he wrote to answer me, i decided to do it here). Fanocoolstuff27, if you're reading this and think that what my last is all invented by me, go read the novel and you'll see that it's written like this quote: 'The guns aboard the fighter plane cut loose, strafing the penthouse apartment, blasting Laserbeak against the wall. Dylan threw himself backward, hitting the floor on the opposite side of the living room from Carly. He let out a scream and cowered behind a Louis XIV chair. The guns stopped firing. Carly, sensing her moment, jumped to her feet and bolted for the balcony.' If you still don't believe i don't care, because the ugly truth is: His assistant and body guards weren't supposed to exist in the movie, since in the earlier versions of the movie's script, which is can be read and seen in all [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|of]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel|it's]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|adaptation]] material, they don't even exist, meaning that by the time he revealed to Sam that he works for the Decepticons, Dylan is the only collaborator to still be alive. They only exist in the movie because [[Michael Bay]] wanted that way and he does whatever he wants when he's directing a blockbuster movie. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 18:53, 26 February 2021 (EST)

:That's what i tried to explain Khajidha, they may have been killed off screen, the last time his assistant appeared was while Dylan asked "You why we didn't returned to the moon after 1972?", and the last time his bodyguards appearead was right when 'Bee opened fire at the apartment, but because of what what in those scenes and no one in the film asking what happened to them (which i think was good because i hate his assistant and bodyguards too) then there fates are up to interpretation, which means you like me can think they died while others can think they're alive since none of them are wrong. Despite DOTM being my favorite movie of all 5 movies that Michael Bay directed (even being better than the [[Transformers (film)|first]]), i think that Bay jumped the shark when he decided to include these guys and make leave their fates the way it was shown, as this is causing this trouble to the wiki that i began in [[Calendar|December]] of last year with this heated conversation that's taking months and people claiming "its a theory" or "it's fanfiction" or what the [[Slag (slang)|slag]] anyone here want to say. In the end i think it's better their fates to be up to [[Fandom|one's]] [[Personal canon]], and i think they shouldn't have never appeared in first place, which is something that the original version of the script did well, (it can be seen and read in the novels and comic adaptation). --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 23:26, 26 February 2021 (EST)
::"May have been" = your speculation. Such speculation does not belong on the page. You can believe that they died, but you must not write anything about that here. Your beliefs are just that, your beliefs. The only thing causing trouble here is you trying to put your beliefs in the articles as if they were facts. When you write about what happens in the movie, you should write only what is shown in the movie. If that means that some characters don't have resolutions to their story, that's fine. Write what they were shown to do and stop writing when you get to the last thing they were shown to do. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 23:33, 26 February 2021 (EST)

Cybertron Forever: /* Regarding your edits on the Dylan Gould-related pages */

== Dylan Gould's pets ==

How many pets does Dylan Gould has? because in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], when the [[Chicago]] invasion began, he mentioned dogs in plural when he ordered their transfer to the back of his apartment in [[Trump Tower]], which means is more than one, and later when [[Carly Spencer|his prisioner]] was observing [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel]] through a telescope, it's possible to see two dogs, but i fear that he has more than just two, and more animal species beyond just dogs as pets. If anyone knows how many he has, just type it here the answer. Thanks! --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 10:15, 23 November 2020 (EST)
:I'm currently rewatching the film right now and I just wanted to let you know that from what I can see, Dylan only refers to them on-screen as "the dogs". I'll wait until the credits and see If I can find anything else that may make mention of them. If you're serious about making a page for them I think the most suitable name for the page would be '''Dylan Gould's Dogs'''. If you would like, I would be more than willing to start the page and the dog actor pages up with the information that we and Abates have found on them. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 03:15, 8 December 2020 (EST)
::Just thought I'd update you, we've made the pages for the [[Dylan Gould's watchdogs|in-film roles]] and the [[Shooter and Hottie|actors themselves]]. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 02:55, 9 December 2020 (EST)

== Signing ==

:Please type four tildes like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> after each message on a talk page instead of typing your signature yourself. The wiki will automatically code your signature with an accurate timestamp. You'll also find it at the bottom of the screen in the box of templates whenever you make edits to pages under "'''Sign your name:'''"
:Thanks. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 18:29, 27 November 2020 (EST)

:Wow that's an very useful typing tip, thanks! Also did you noticed that i made talked to you in your talk page two days ago? --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 17:07, 30 November 2020 (EST)

== Deletion of character pages. ==

Do not put character pages up for deletion because the same information is on a subgroup page. Subgroup pages are not made for character read ups, only for collective plot references. Subgroup pages are made to have as little information regarding the individuals as possible as the individual character pages are made for that purpose. As for the [[Twins (ROTF)|Twins]] page, there are still discussions on Discord being carried out on whether or not the page should exist. We admit that it is not very fair on the other users that aren't in the Discord server as the discussions can't be seen by them, but this is the only way we have been able to reply instantly and not have questions that would usually be made in discussion pages being left unanswered. Also, on a side note, please read talk pages on main articles before making any big edits, as there can sometimes be crucial information found there (ie: the Twins page discussion on only have their combined toys listed).

We thank you for your dedication into making pages and edits into things that we have missed. We are all guilty of making mistakes from time to time, so no harm done, that's the beauty of being able to revert and edit things! [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 18:04, 15 December 2020 (EST)

:It's ok, i also make mistakes sometimes, it won't happen again. Thanks! --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 21:04, 19 December 2020 (EST)

== Before you make any big changes... ==
Hello! I've noticed you taking on large projects and performing large edits. In general, before you carry out a task like that, please discuss it either on the [[Transformers Wiki talk:Community Portal|Community Portal]] or our [https://discord.com/channels/656241088826441729/656248887534944265 Discord page]. I highly recommend the Discord, since you can often talk with other editors in real time! Please do ''not'' make decisions to do large edits by using a particular user's talk page (such as abates or Fanofcoolstuff). That won't get you the consensus of other editors. Thank you! [[User:Prime Radiant|Prime Radiant]] ([[User talk:Prime Radiant|talk]]) 18:19, 17 January 2021 (EST)

==Changing image captions==
As per [[Transformers Wiki:Captions|our captions policy]], you should not be changing image captions written by other users (unless there is a community consensus that a joke is bad/offensive/etc.). Please do not keep changing the caption on the Dino article – consider this a formal warning on the matter. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 16:36, 28 January 2021 (EST)

== Talk page edits ==

Hi, please don't make small talk page edits to complain no one has responded to you yet. People will respond to your messages when and if they can. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 21:44, 31 January 2021 (EST)

==Talk page use==

Please cease using talk pages for trying to start discussions on fan theories you have, they are meant for discussions on improving the page, not fanon. [[User:McBaggins|McBaggins]] ([[User talk:McBaggins|talk]]) 21:39, 11 February 2021 (EST)

:Okay, i won't do it again. In fact, every mistake i do that everyone talk to me about in my talk page i fix and stop repeating, Prime Radiant once told me to talk about big changes on the community portal, and now i'm doing that. Jalaguy, told me to not change the image captions made other users, so i'm not doing this anymore. Abates told me to not make small edits to complain no one has replied to me, so i'm not doing it. So if i'm saying i won't use talk pages to start discussions my theories, than i won't do it never again. You have my word. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 23:15, 11 February 2021 (EST)

== Some writing tips. ==

{{correctenglish}}
Hi there, first of all I wanted to say that your collaborations to the wiki are very appreciated, but please be a little more careful with your grammar and always proofread your edits before saving them. You frequently mispells the names of characters/movies/TV shows/etc and writes some of their initial letters in lowercase when they should be in uppercase. I also noticed that you sometimes try to translate by yourself the titles of movies and TV shows from their Brazilian titles back to English, when it would take you mere seconds to search the web for their actual original titles and use them instead. And one more tip, the correct spelling is always "a Brazilian" and never "an Brazilian".

Again, you're doing a fine job overall so please don't take this badly, I just want to help you improve your skills before your edits start to be reverted for not being up to standards.--[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 14:40, 19 February 2021 (EST)

== Regarding your edits on the Dylan Gould-related pages ==

Can you please stop on the undo-edits war? And as the others have said, you're reading a bit too much into it regarding Dylan. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 18:44, 24 February 2021 (EST)

:Sorry if i caused trouble by doing that but the thing is the edits that i've done on those pages are based on what i found out by reading the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|DOTM novelization]] and the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|IDW comic adaptation]], and i'm including them here so that they can be more complete. And the reason i'm doing this with them is because i HATE DYLAN GOULD! I hate him so much that just by looking at his face or his bodyguards or [[Dylan Gould's assistant|his assistant]] or [[Dylan Gould's watchdogs|his dogs]], i have the feeling that i gonna have an heart-attack. I only created his assistant's page so that i could create the page about [[Hotchkiss Gould Investments]], since i decided i would create it once the company's most known employees had their pages, and his assistant was the only one who didn't have-it at that time. And i asked about creating an article about his dogs since i couldn't help but to feel sorry for them, from being adopted by an evil human and to be traumatized by hearing the fire that killed all of his body guards in the attack at [[Trump Tower]] and surviving the onslaught just like how Dylan did. I know that what i said about his body guards dying in the slaughter sounds like speculation, but read the parts where i talked to Abates and Fanocoolstuff27 in [[User_talk:Abates#Human_Collaborators|their]] [[User_talk:Fanofcoolstuff27#Human_Collaborators|talk]] pages to learn more. And i'm still talking with them about it, in fact i found more evidences about that fact in the novelization and comic adaptation themselves and i'll tell this to them later. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 19:17, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::If you hate Dylan so much maybe you should consider not editing his page anymore. --[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 20:06, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::I want to stop, but first i need to include every single info about him and everything related to him that everyone here are still glossing over. Exemple: in the novel and comic adaptation Dylan ordered [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to execute the Autobot prisoners just because [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] destroyed his apartment. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 20:16, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::::That you want to add info to the wiki about Gould and his company is fine. In regards to you "hating" Gould, like Fritz said, you would be better off of not editing his page in the future, because those recent edits aren't contributing anything substantive to the wiki. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 20:26, 24 February 2021 (EST)
:::::I will stop, i just need to make this edit about this detail in her page that his assistant was killed after the party where he revealed to [[Sam Witwicky]] that he works for the Decepticons, that in the novel and comic he ordered Soundwave to kill the prisoners because of what Bumblebee did to his apartment, and that his body guards died in the slaughter that occurred in Trump Tower and i'm done with it. His assistant's death is obvious since she is a human collaborator and in the movie [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] ordered them to kill all the collaborators in the moment set in africa, but his body guards' deaths is gonna be hard to convince, since almost everyone on this wiki don't believe that, only Renato, my parents, our friends from college before Renato and i got married and the members from our transformers' fan club do believe that, specially because they're the one who showed me evidences of their deaths in the novelization and IDW comic adaptation, so before i do those edits, i'll talk to Abates and Fanocoolstuff27 first. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 22:23, 24 February 2021 (EST)
::::::This is ''still'' just speculation. She doesn't appear any further in the film past the big reveal of working with the Decepticons. Please stop trying to convince us of speculative information that isn't displayed in any media. The wiping out of collaborators took place at the beginning-to-mid section of the film, Dylan Gould's revelation takes place in the mid-to-end section. There is absolutely no evidence that Dylan's workers were killed as part of Laserbeak/Soundwave/any other Decepticon's assassinations, nor Bumblebee's gun fire on the apartment.

'''Shockwave''' was left to watch [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] long ago, but he would eventually follow the call of the [[AllSpark]] to [[Earth]]. Deadly efficient with a cold devotion to logic, Shockwave is a killing machine like few others and one of the very few who could rival Megatron. This has made him quite popular amongst the Decepticons; [[Astrotrain (DOTM)|some]] respect him enough to willingly work with him while [[Nitro Zeus|others]] idolize him to the point of avenging his death. Nevertheless, Shockwave is ready and willing to destroy whichever Autobots dare stand in his way with his arm-mounted [[Astro Magnum|AstroMag Cannon]].

At some point during 2009, Shockwave was caught on film and the event was written up for a newspaper article.

[[File:DOTM - ShockwaveDriller.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|"We have wormsign."]]
Shockwave and his pet [[Driller]] attacked the Autobots when they were summoned to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]] by the Decepticon agent [[Alexi Voskhod]]. This was done as an act of misdirection to ensure that the Autobots did not realize that the Decepticons actually wanted them to find the fuel cell from the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] located within the facility. After Optimus retrieved the fuel cell from the Driller, Shockwave emerged from it to reveal himself to Optimus, and the pair quickly retreated underground, leaving Optimus very disturbed to see Shockwave on Earth.

Later, Shockwave took part in the invasion of [[Chicago]]. He and the Driller emerged from beneath the convoy of Autobots, and the Driller separated Optimus from his trailer. Shockwave left the Driller and proceeded to track down the Autobots. The [[Wrecker]]s were sent to distract him, peppering his armor with fire from their machine-guns. He used a car as a shield and fired at them, and once they drove off, he menacingly began to pursue them down the road, missing the two small Autobots, [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]], who quickly fled.

[[File:830px-Dotm-shockwave&driller-film-chicago.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Wanna pet my worm?]]
Later, he noticed humans inside a building, and sent his Driller into the fray to topple a building and kill [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Carly Spencer]], [[Robert Epps]], and the other humans inside. However, the beast was killed by Optimus Prime using his flight gear. Enraged by the death of his pet, Shockwave opened fire on the Autobot leader, briefly disabling him and taking him out of the fight.

[[File:DOTM-OptimusShockwave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Welcome to the refinery.]]
He soon joined [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] in rounding up the other Autobots. Brains and Wheelie forestalled the Decepticons from further executing their prisoners by taking control of a Decepticon gunship, and dropping [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighters]] onto the battlefield. Shockwave retreated further away with Barricade and some other Decepticons, but the human soldiers had set a trap and fired upon them. Shockwave's face was obscured by one of their parachutes, and his eye was then shot out by the Wreckers, causing it to dangle by its wires. He then attempted to escape, but Optimus Prime came charging back into the battle, and when Shockwave fired at him, the Autobot dodged the shot, donned a set of [[knuckle-spikes]], and punched Shockwave so hard that part of his abdomen shattered. Even ''this'' did not put Shockwave down, but Prime did not give up - he punched Shockwave again, pinned the Decepticon down and tore his dangling eye out through his throat, finally killing the bloodthirsty Decepticon. Optimus then used Shockwave's cannon to shoot out the control pillar set up in the city. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

After [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] had disappeared, Shockwave and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] assumed command of the Decepticon army. Under their joint leadership, the Decepticons conquered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] forcing the Autobots to abandon the planet. When the Decepticons launched a final assault on the last Autobot city, Shockwave ordered the [[Seeker (Movie)|Seekers]] to destroy the launch pad and prevent the Autobot evacuation. Despite the Seekers' attack, all the Autobots but [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] managed to escape immediate danger. After Prime was attacked by [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]], Shockwave and the other Decepticons closed in to attack the Autobot leader. Despite this, Prime managed to escape the planet. {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}

[[File:Foundation1-Shockwavedoesntlikeit.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"'''Your star burns!''' I require frozen treats."]]
Eons after the [[Dynasty of Primes]] were vanquished, Cybertron fell into dark times. The [[AllSpark]] had been buried somewhere within Cybertron and been dismissed as a legend, and the planet itself lacked a star to orbit. As energy became more and more scarce, Cybertronians segregated into tribes. Shockwave chose to rally behind [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], who claimed to be descended from [[Primus]] himself. However, he faced opposition from the non-believer [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]], and Shockwave joined [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and several others in repelling their attacks. Ultimately, Sentinel Prime won the day, as he and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] were successful in locating the lost AllSpark and harnessing a new sun to orbit. This, however, did not please Shockwave. Now that the war was over, he was dissatisfied, and he no longer knew his purpose. This shocked his old friend, Megatron, and Shockwave explained that it was the journey he enjoyed, not the destination. Plus, well, that new sun was kind of bright. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

The next day, Megatron detailed to Shockwave how he had eavesdropped on a conversation between Sentinel and Optimus, where Sentinel had tried to pass on leadership to Optimus, who refused, unable to accept he was also a Prime. At the outskirts of [[Thetacon (polity)|Thetacon]], they encountered a [[Driller]], a subterranean lifeform that had been brought to the planet's surface by the new energy flowing through it, which was attacking a group of [[Hatchling]]s and their protector [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Shockwave was amazed by the creature and called it "magnificent". After besting it, he joined the Cybertronian [[Defense Force]] that Sentinel placed under Megatron's command, rooting out dissident Transformers. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

After the war broke out he joined the Decepticons. As Starscream was asking what to do next minutes before the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|''Nemesis'']] went to space, Shockwave told him that they would obey Megatron's orders without any question. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} When the Autobots attacked [[Simfur Temple]], Shockwave attempted to apprehend [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], but with no success. When Starscream blew up the [[Ark (DOTM)|ship]] carrying Sentinel and his [[pillar|secret weapon]], Shockwave ordered the annihilation of the retreating Autobots, but Megatron made him stand down, gleefully predicting Optimus would return with a vengeance. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Shockwave returned with Megatron to his [[Lord High Protector citadel|citadel]] during Optimus's revenge attack. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Shockwave asked Megatron if he could kill Optimus Prime and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] after they had been stuck by the [[smelting pool]], but Megatron was disappointed by Shockwave's lack of vision. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Optimus got inside to fight Megatron, while Starscream and Shockwave attempted to kill their former comrade Ironhide. Suddenly, the skies darkened: the Autobots had attacked the citadel to distract the Decepticons from their true goal of stealing the AllSpark from the temple. Optimus blasted Starscream and Shockwave, and the two Autobots escaped. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[File:RisingStorm2-ShockwaveAllSpark.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]] Some time later, after the Autobots sent the All Spark into space, Starscream left Shockwave in charge of the Decepticons still on Cybertron as he went in search of his prize. During a battle with a team of Autobots, Shockwave heard the scream of the AllSpark when it was found by [[Sector Seven]]. Leaving [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] in charge of the Decepticons on Cybertron, Shockwave set out in an impossibly fast ship, swearing not to return without the AllSpark. He crashed in [[Tunguska]], [[Siberia]] in [[1908]].<ref>''Rising Storm'' issue 2 reveals that Shockwave caused the mysterious real-life [[Tunguska event]].</ref> He remained buried there in [[stasis lock]], healing until [[Soviet Union|Soviet Russia]] found him ten years later. Using stolen research from the U.S., who had found Megatron the same way, the Russians reverse-engineered his technology to invent nuclear power plants. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} {{storylink|Frozen}}

There were no digital records of Shockwave's existence, and the physical documents pertaining to him were lost, burned, shredded or stolen in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse. The Siberian facility was abandoned and Shockwave was left forgotten. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

[[File:RisingStorm_Shockwave_and_astrotrain.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Astrotrain, go away. You're spoiling the G1 ambiance around me."]]
Soundwave discovered the satirical article and its photograph, and deduced it was based on stolen Soviet documents. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} In [[2010]], Megatron freed Shockwave and brought him to his "base" in [[Namibia]], where he was eager to get back to killing Autobots as soon as possible. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

Shockwave and [[Astrotrain (DOTM)|Astrotrain]] made their presence known on Earth near [[Dalian]], [[China]], where they quickly disposed of the Autobots [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] and stole material for a mysterious construction project.

Shockwave began following the exploits of Earth's stranded Transformers from afar, and derided its war's combatants as idiots after watching a skirmish in [[California]]. After contacting Astrotrain for an update on their project, he tracked [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]]'s radiation trail back to Starscream's current base of operations, in a junkyard on the outskirts of [[Mexico City]]. Blasting his way through the Decepticons unwise enough to try defending Starscream, Shockwave informed the treacherous air commander that Megatron had "requested his services." Before the conversation could go any further, Astrotrain radioed Shockwave with some bad news: the "[[Brains|brain unit]]" scrap drone that held the control software for the machine he was constructing had escaped. Shockwave charged Starscream and his followers with recovering the drone. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

[[File:Risingstorm_3_shockwave_on_NEST.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Shock blast!]]
Shockwave contacted an angry Starscream who thought he was promised the Autobots would be occupied. Shockwave countered that they were occupied, but, you know, with Starscream, leaving Shockwave free to leave a message for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at the [[NEST]] Headquarters in [[Diego Garcia]]. After killing [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]], [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]], and other Autobots who stood in his way, Shockwave confronted the trembling humans left to fend for themselves. When Shockwave asked who was in command, [[Theodore Galloway]] told him that he was. Shockwave killed Galloway and the other humans save one, and he asked his question one more time. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

After killing [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]], he and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] left Diego Garcia, then he arrived in [[Philadelphia]] killing [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] in the process and shot down [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] and [[Dino|Mirage]]. Enraged by the death of Elita-One and the other Autobots, Optimus Prime battled Shockwave, quickly overpowering him and brutally pummeling the sadistic Decepticon. Prime was about to kill Shockwave, till Shockwave's [[Driller|"pet"]] came to save his master. The badly damaged Shockwave returned to Namibia along Starscream and Soundwave. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Under the orders of Starscream, Shockwave attacked [[Tranquility]] in an effort to interfere with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s attempt to rescue [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from [[Sector Seven]]. Prime actually had a grip on the helicopter net that held Bumblebee, but the force of Shockwave's entry mode's impact knocked him off, allowing Sector Seven to get away.

[[File:Tf2007console shockwave turret.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|Death Cannon OF LOGIC!]]
Landing in downtown, the [[Triple Changer|triple-changing]] Shockwave adopted a helicopter and an artillery emplacement as his alternate modes, promptly transforming into the latter and lobbing explosives around the city. Prime, forced to cut off his rescue, charged in and pounded Shockwave until the goliath transformed and retreated to another position. Prime doggedly kept at Shockwave, following him every time he retreated, eventually defeating the Decepticon and saving Tranquility. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

Later, when the Autobots returned to Cybertron, Shockwave appeared on the planet alongside (and presumably leading) an army of Decepticon drones. Optimus quickly defeated the drones and once more defeated Shockwave.

{{note|Shockwave is not a playable character in the game, appearing only as a boss character during the Autobot campaign.

[[File:Shockwave movie psp.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|He makes up for his loss of weapons by being the most awesome character in the game. It is only logical.]]

The massive Shockwave might ''look'' like he's purely about muscle and firepower, but he's actually remarkably shrewd and cunning. Coveting the position of Decepticon leader for himself, Shockwave has been working to oust Megatron for years. As you might imagine, he and Starscream don't get along very well.

When the Decepticons arrived on Earth in search of their lost leader, Megatron, Shockwave adopted a tank as his alternate mode. Shockwave was supposed to join [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] in his attack on the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]], but instead busied himself surrepticiously searching for leads to the location of the [[AllSpark]]. After receiving a communique from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], who informed him that the Autobots were on Earth and had discovered their own leads to the location of Megatron, Shockwave had [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] airlift him to Qatar, where he helped Blackout take care of the last few military units opposing him. He relayed Frenzy's message to Blackout, then departed for the Arctic with Thundercracker, intending to investigate the site where Megatron's body was discovered.

In the Arctic, Shockwave and Thundercracker faced resistance from an Autobot unit in the area, but fought their way through them to discover that Megatron's body had been moved by [[Sector Seven]]. The trip was not a wasted one, however: after scanning a computer terminal in the cavern, Shockwave discovered that Megatron had brought an army of drones with him to Earth to help in the search for the All Spark. These drones were presently lying dormant all over the Earth, and Shockwave schemed to reactivate them so that they could serve him as his personal army. The signal required to reanimated the drones had to be broadcast from a great height, so Shockwave and Thundercracker quickly made their way to a rocket launch site, where Shockwave programmed the code into a rocket that subsequently beamed the signal down over the Earth from space. Drones sprang to life all over the planet, and began attacking the Autobots. Shockwave's control of his
self-made army was short lived, however, as Autobots [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] successfully transmitted a virus that shut the drones down. Simultaneously, Shockwave received another message from Frenzy that the he had discovered the location of Megatron, and that the Decepticon leader was about to reawaken.

After the Autobots defeated Megatron and most of the other Decepticons in battle in [[Center City]], Shockwave retreated back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], as did Starscream. Back on their homeworld, Shockwave and Starscream faced off for leadership of the Decepticons, with Starscream ultimately claiming victory. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

Shockwave had crashed on Earth thousands of years ago and fell into stasis mode. He was later discovered by the Russians and a facility was built to contain him, where he was frozen to prevent him from waking up.

Three years after Megatron was wounded, the Decepticons took refuge in that same Russian facility to repair themselves. His leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] decided to release him, since he was needed for the upcoming operation. The base came under fire, however, thanks to Starscream leading the [[Autobot]]s straight to Megatron. The 'Cons abandoned base and left Shockwave and his [[Driller]] to thaw out.

[[File:Transformers DOTM Shockwave Game.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Give me your fac—er, I mean eye!]]
Optimus discovered Shockwave and ordered [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] to activate more freeze tanks to keep him frozen. Unfortunately, Shockwave's [[Driller|pet]] awoke from its slumber, and lashed out at the intruders. The attempts to keep him frozen eventually failed, and Shockwave woke up and decided to destroy the Autobot leader. Years under stasis meant that he wasn't fully combat ready, and it was something Optimus took advantage of when he attacked the Decepticon assassin. Shockwave soon managed to fully recover and lashed out at Prime with everything he had. Autobot reinforcements arrived to help in Optimus' assault, but were dispatched quite easily. During their skirmish, Optimus Prime (with a little help from Ratchet) deduced his weak spot as the three cylinder-shaped generators mounted on his back. With this knowledge, Optimus Prime was then able to take down Shockwave with his jetpack/machinegun upgrades, until the Driller decided to intervene, and blocked off the shots while retreating with its master.

Shortly after, Shockwave met up with Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] in Nambia, Africa. He was ordered to find a device in a nuclear power plant called Chernobyl. Shockwave agreed, and Megatron told him and the others of Operation Pillar... {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)}}

**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''006'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV19'''
**''Accessories:'' Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade, missile, Chicago

:The [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander class Shockwave is cast in a lighter purple than his Voyager class figure. Like that larger toy, he transforms into a Cybertronian tank, and features a removable cannon, blade, and hose. He also has a [[Fusion Tank add-on|back component]] that attaches to his vehicle to form a "Fusion Tank," and that can separately transform into "Ground Weapon" and "Battle Base" modes. For safety reasons, his knee spikes are molded in rubbery plastic. Likewise, his chest ribs are also molded with the same soft plastic. Due to the hose's slightly short length, raising the shoulder-mounted cannon in a firing position with the hose attached will cause it to occasionally pop off. Care must be taken on the tank mode's front wheels: Since they're painted, rolling them on uneven surfaces can cause the paint to chip.

:Shockwave's alternate mode has some rather annoying problems with the treads refusing to straighten out or peg onto his body and front "wheels" securely. As a result, combining him with the action set to form the "Fusion Tank" mode will result in the back treads becoming parallel with the rest of the tank... while the front treads split open and detach from the wheels.

:Like other action sets, Shockwave comes with a cardboard backdrop. In his case, it’s a scene of Chicago under attack. Oddly, the box bio mentions ''Shockwave'''s ability to drill through the ground, with no mention of his [[Driller|friend]].

*'''Shockwave''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD05'''
**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager Class [[MechTech]] toys, Shockwave transforms into a purple Cybertronian tank. He has a large, detachable MechTech Battle Cannon on his right arm with a rubber tube which connects to his back, and a removable blade on his left arm. When a button is pushed on the rear of his arm cannon, MechTech gearing opens up the cannon, widening it and exposing more gun barrels. [[C joint]] rungs are located on Shockwave's arm-blade, with one concealed underneath said blade, two on his AstroMag cannon, two more on his backpack, and two more on his feet. Other MechTech weapons can peg into Shockwave's hands, on the barrel of his cannon, and behind each shoulder blade. Due to the nature of his MechTech weapon being integrated with his arm, it is not a prime candidate for swapping with other toys; although it does fit with the Dark of the Moon Voyager Megatron, due to its shape and color.

:The instructions tell you to keep the cannon attached to his right arm in tank mode, though it is possible to stick it in between the arms. This is done by sliding the cannon's bottom in between Shockwave's thumbs. It is fairly stable, matches some stock photography, and makes for a more coherent tank.

:Shockwave's stock photography depicts him in a much, much brighter and bluer purple, while the MechTech lever on the cannon is bright red. Although partly cropped, his packaging photography on the box-front depicts an alternative placement of his gun hose in tank mode, plugging into the port on the side of his rear treads, which actually aligns better than the awkward frontal position depicted in the [[instructions]]; in the box-back. The gun hose in vehicle mode is not shown, but since the picture was taken from a left profile, it could just be covered by the toy itself, reinforcing the alternate placement. The stock photography also depicts Shockwave's hands to be articulated at the wrists, as the right arm in the photo has the hand rotated 90 degrees from the position actually possible with the figure. Many more paint applications are also present in the stock photography, not being limited to the red lever on the cannon, with vents on the vehicle mode being picked out in silver, gold details being present on the hips, and both halves of tread on each side of the body being painted silver. Overall, the colour scheme shown on the box photography is completely different from the actual figure within, with the stock photo's silver being replaced with a metallic lilac on the hands, feet spikes and knees.

*'''Army Shockwave''' (Kreon Warrior, 2015)
**''Set number'': '''B0945'''
**''Collection'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand-plate, hand grenade
:Part of the first wave of ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Kreon]] Warriors, Shockwave has been re-imagined as if he was part of a World War I era fighting force, with tank-kibble deco, a military-style helmet, and a combat knife taking the place of his traditional gun "hand". His "face" deco is very much ''Dark of the Moon'' Shockwave, even if his colors owe more to the [[Shockwave (G1)|original Shockwave]].

:Like all the Kreons released that year (at normal retail at least), he uses the new 2015-tooling Kreon body, which basically involves small construction changes on every part below the head, making them largely incompatible with the prior Kreon parts (heads still work fine), but the new tooling adds some extra functionality and structural support.

:The Kreon Warriors were only released in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. The individual bags had also abandoned any kind of coding that identified the contents. This means getting the one you want from an unopened bag involves either trying to feel out the unique parts, or just buying the whole dang case.

:Also part of the first wave of Kreon Warriors, Ninja Shockwave replaces his gun-hand with a huge lavender stabby-blade, and has a pair of shuriken pegged to his legs for quick throwing. He even has a ninja hood to emulate his enclosed helmet.

:All the aggravation of the blind-bagged, non-US distribution above applies to this one as well.

:Released as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Movie The Best]]'' toyline to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the [[live-action film series]], this Shockwave is an extensive redeco of his Voyager Class toy. Shockwave features a deco similar to, but not the same as, the ''Dark of the Moon'' prototype figure's paint applications.

:Released in Series 2 of [[blindpacking|blindbagged]] [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Shockwave is a small soft-plastic transformable figure based on his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon''. He changes from robot to Cybertronian tank in a few simple steps. He has articulated shoulders and his hands can grip 3mm posts and other small accessories. Like all Tiny Turbo Changers, he can't roll in vehicle mode.

:His [[instructions]] show his front-scoops/feet-soles with tech detailing that does not exist on the actual toy.

* '''Shockwave''' (Leader Class, [[2019]])
**''ID Number:'' '''56'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-45'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[February 29]], [[2020]]'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Brains#Studio Series|Brains]] figure, [[Wheelie (ROTF)#Studio Series|Wheelie]] figure, [[NEST]] Paratrooper, sword, "[[Chicago]] Warzone" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Shockwave transforms from robot mode to a Cybertronian tank in 17 steps. He is a mostly new sculpt (though he reuses some parts from the ''Studio Series'' [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Voyager Class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Megatron figure]], notably the arm joints, hip pieces as well as his tank treads), with the hose being connected into the cannon. He comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting a war-torn Chicago.

:While the original promotional render showcased his purple coloring in solid, brighter shade, the figure itself has purple color applied mostly with extensive dry-brushed paint applications over black plastic, with the only purple plastic being in his feet. Similar silver dry-brushing technique is also present in his arm-blade.

:While roughly Voyager-sized (as stated before, he even reuses some parts from a Voyager Class figure), he is sold under the Leader Class price point, with the additional budget being devoted not only to his large cannon and an arm blade, but also to a surprising ''three'' additional included figurines, namely with a scale accurate Brains, Wheelie and the parachuting NEST soldier that obscures his face, with a parachute made from clear white plastic film.

:With Wheelie and Brains being 1.5cm tall, you will ''definitely'' lose them. Unfortunately, the parachuting soldier does not descend slowly when you drop him from a high altitude.

:It is worth noting that there is an extensive use of rubbery plastic for this mold, possibly [[for safety reasons]], with his gun barrel, hose, spikes on his legs, hand, right thumb and blade being cast from said material.

:Although the instructions show that the hose port is facing backwards in the tank mode, due to the short length of the hose on the actual figure it is impossible to do this. Fortunately, the port can be rotated downwards and even inwards to avoid the tube from being awkwardly disconnected. While also not being noted in the instructions, there is another port that the hose can connect to further back on his cannon arm. This is more than likely where the hose is ''supposed'' to go in vehicle mode to stop the aforementioned issue.

:Depending on the individual quality of the figure, it can be a bit tricky to get Shockwave to stand up straight, as the weight of his backpack can cause him to fall back on his ankles.

:He first saw release in Hong Kong in December 2019.

==Notes==
[[File:TF2007game-ShockwaveConcept-ApacheTransform.jpg|thumb|upright=1.25|Being [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] is illogical. Resembling him is logical.]]
*[[Transformers The Game (console)|''Transformers: The Game'']] Shockwave was designed by artist [[Ken Christiansen]]. His original flying altmode was to be an {{w|Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II|A-10 Warthog}}, but to reduce the mass discrepancy with the {{w|howitzer}} mode, Christansen changed this to an {{w|Boeing AH-64 Apache|AH-64 Apache}} and bulked up the Howitzer into a made-up "super-howitzer".<ref>[http://badflipblog.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/tf1-shockwave-01.html TF1 - Shockwave 01:] ...apparently in the Traveler's Tales game design... they had Shockwave as a triple changer. Somehow Hasbro let us have it, and I went to work. Working on mass and trying to keep the ratios consistent on the other drones, I piped up and said no way a Howitzer can change into a Warthog. So I pitched the Apache helicopter, (because they wanted to retain the flying dynamic) with it's very slender body, it could at least be plausible to change into a Howitzer, with a little help..the math came out to the Apache having about 32% more mass than the Howitzer. So I took the opportunity to invent a SUPER Howitzer; to beef up the mass, add a few helicopter armament cues, and pull in some G1 Shockwave character cues, namely the diamond shaped chest elements, to create a more well-rounded three way mode</ref>
*Christansen originally intended TFTG Shockwave to be a dull green, as seen right, but was asked to make him purple for the final version, after attempting a "compromise" black.<ref>[http://badflipblog.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/tf1-shockwave-03.html TF1 - Shockwave 03:] I had set up Shockwave to be a military green, to match the other military based movie Decepts, but I did get asked to explore the purple. I thought it looked a little silly - OK, a lot silly - being the true purple of G1 lore, so I tried a compromise with a purple based black color...</ref>
*The "Attack Copter", "Recon Chopper" and "Stealth Chopper" [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-]][[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|A-Bot]] vehicle modes from the [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Nintendo DS video games]] transform into robot modes bearing some resemblance to Shockwave. The Attack Chopper is the only one that can be customized to appear purple, though.
*The photo on the newspaper article in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is of [[:Image:Shockwaveministatue.jpg|Palisades's statue]] of [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]], with something digitally added in the foreground.
*Promotion for ''Dark of the Moon'' heavily touted Shockwave as the new main villain of the film, presumably to conceal [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s unexpected betrayal halfway through the movie. Media coverage often described Shockwave as the ruler of Cybertron while the other Transformers were fighting on Earth,<ref name="pushpops">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/transformers-3-plot-summary-revealed-170756/ "Transformers 3 Plot Summary Revealed"], TFW2005, October 2010.</ref> and while IDW's comics would toy with this idea a little bit, it had no bearing on his depiction in the film. It's generally thought to have been a {{w|Chinese whispers|chinese whisper}} that resulted from mainstream media independently researching the character and reporting information on his [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Shockwave (G1)|namesake]] (though that didn't stop its inclusion in the ''official plot summary'' from Paramount's German branch, which also claimed that Shockwave was the robot inside the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' in the trailer).<ref name="germansite">[http://www.transformers3-film.de/ Official German DOTM site] including faulty plot summary.</ref>
*In what was presumably an attempt to hide his finalized movie design, Shockwave appeared in IDW's prequel comic with an alternate Cybertronian body with a jet alternate mode before being badly damaged at the end of ''Rising Storm'', necessitating his reconstruction into his movie form. While his toy transforms into a tank, he never transforms in either the film or the video game.
[[File:ShockwaveBoxartFace.jpg|thumb|150px|right|"Logically, I must gnaw your head off."]]
*Bucking tradition, this Shockwave has a mouth.
*In contrast to his highly promoted nature and major presence in the movie comics, Shockwave receives minimal screentime in the finished film, with only one understandable line of dialogue (snarling Optimus's name at Chernobyl). As with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] in the first film, and multiple characters in the second, he emits a lot of gnashing, gurgling noises that could be mistakenly interpreted as dialogue if one strains hard to hear something in them—one of his snarls to the Driller before it dives into the skyscraper, for instance, sounds sort of like "Commence". As happened with [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD, the subtitle writer misinterpreted one of Shockwave's snarls as the hilarious sentence, "Driller-bot is thirsty". In contrast, while he still has a minimal presence in ''Bumblebee'', he has two lines of intelligible dialogue more in line with [[Shockwave (G1)|his Generation 1 counterpart]].
*In the DOTM novel adaptation, Shockwave is described as gray colored.
*[[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]]'s original voice actor, [[Corey Burton]] had no desire to return to the role for ''Dark of the Moon'', explaining "[I] have practically no interest in that kind of mega-budget movie enterprise involvement". He noted that the inspiration for his Shockwave voice, {{w|David Warner (actor)|David Warner}}, was rumored to have been considered,<ref>[http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=2707&highlight=#2707 Corey Burton's message board post.]</ref> but in the end, Shockwave's almost-entirely-wordless-snarl-based role went to Frank Welker. There's a nice touch of symmetry in the casting, with Welker taking over a Burton-originated role not long after Burton took on a Welker-originated character in [[Megatron (Animated)|''Animated'' Megatron]].
*Hasbro's online bio for Shockwave claims he had spent decades trapped under Chernobyl, but this was not reflected in any actual media; both the video game and ''Rising Storm'' comics have him held at a different Russian facility from which he is freed shortly before the film's events, and the film itself doesn't give any indication that his appearance at Chernobyl in its opening scenes is an "escape" of any kind.
*Shockwave's AstroMag cannon is a reference to [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Notes|the original Shockwave]]'s toy mold being first released by ToyCo as the "[http://www.robot-japan.com/Gallery/Takara/Transformers/G1/AstroMagnum/Toybox-Astro-Magnum.asp 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]". Though described as a particle or laser cannon in most related ''Dark of the Moon'' media, it appears to be some variety of cluster missile launcher in the movie proper.
*Select [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US had a promotion for a Shockwave poster with the purchase of any [[Transformers brand]] [[toy]] from [[June 5]], 2011 to [[June 11]], 2011.
[[File:DOTM-Shock TLK-Nitro head comp.jpg|thumb|250px|right|"Logically, ''we'' must gnaw your head off."]]
*Early artwork for Shockwave for ''Dark of the Moon'' showed '''Blitzwing''' as a working name for the character, obviously an attempt to hide his identity during production.<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>
*Shockwave's appearance in a [[Burger King]] commercial that depicts him fighting Optimus Prime does not depict any scene in the film. Rather, the animation places Shockwave's model over Sentinel Prime's motions during part of his own fight against Optimus.
*Shockwave's model is reused for the "[[Two Head]]"s from ''Age of Extinction'', with the biggest differences being a second one-horned head and the lack of an arm cannon.
*Shockwave's head design is also reused and modified for [[Nitro Zeus]], hence the reason Shockwave is mentioned in his bio.
*Shockwave's design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily inspired by his Generation 1 [[Shockwave (G1)|namesake]].

Jerry was an employee at NASA who was blackmailed by [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] into becoming a Decepticon agent and doing their dirty work. One of these deeds included sabotaging satellites to conceal the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] on the dark side of the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]].

One day, a new employee named [[Sam Witwicky]] came in. Jerry immediately recognized him from his appearance in photos from [[Egypt]], and began to follow him until they were alone in the elevator, where he attacked Sam, and forced him into a tight spot. He then pulled out NASA documents on [[Apollo 11]]'s mission to the Moon, as well as documents of various NASA employees, in an attempt to clue Sam in on a conspiracy concerning the lunar race and the Decepticons.

Some time later, Jerry was being tortured by an evil and suspicious Decepticon computer, when Sam passed by and tried to talk to Wang about the paper documents he gave him. As Jerry was being heavily monitored, he drove Sam away. Realizing that Jerry was giving away secrets, Laserbeak transformed in front of him and tormented him. Despite begging Laserbeak to spare him, Laserbeak informed Jerry of his outlived usefulness, and that he was to be terminated. Jerry had other ideas, however, and pulled two pistols out at Laserbeak. Despite this tactic of intimidation, he was no match for the predatory bird-bot, who knocked him back into his chair and shoved him through one of the building's many glass windows, sending him plummeting to his splattery [[death]].

His actions prior to this weren't in vain however, as the documents he gave to Sam later provided some insight on what the Decepticons were up to. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

:''Elita-One is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Elita-oneros4.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|For once, we know what a version of Elita turns into.]]
'''Elita-One''' (also '''Elita-1''') is the first of the female Transformer robots. Naturally, she receives a lot of attention, which by no means displeases her, but she's more than a pretty face. She's a cunning fighter and an excellent marksman, capable of hitting a target from at least four miles away. When it comes time to rely on more than her gun, she's able to emit an "attraction field" that can cause those without protection to overheat without warning.

Older sister to [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and one of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s closest and longest-serving officers, Elita-One shares the Autobot commander's compassion and dedication for protecting the innocent and downtrodden. Every bit as skilled as she is compassionate, Elita-One is one of the Autobots' strongest leaders. Determined to protect the weaker from the ruthless Decepticons to the bitter end, she's a living definition of an Autobot.

{{note|Internal to the film itself, both Elita-1 and Chromia are simply treated as components of Arcee. We list her exploits here for completeness.}}
[[File:ROTF Elita-1 in Egypt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Elita-1? Flareup? Call me anything but Sweetie.]]
Elita-1 and her sisters were held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, the sisters pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in their way, but ultimately they weren't able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and proceeded to make short work of Sideways.

When [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia, but NEST disobeyed the orders, instead shipping Elita and the others to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect the recently deceased Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, the sisters arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to help escort Sam and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] through the warzone, but Elita-1 was one of the first Autobot casualties of the battle, being shot down from behind as she called for Sam and Mikaela to follow them. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Foudnation2 ArceeChromiaElita.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Elita-One was one of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s followers, alongside Optimus, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], and others who believed in his teachings of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] and the [[AllSpark]]. When Sentinel Prime proved the truth of his claims by unearthing the lost AllSpark from beneath the surface of Cybertron at [[Simfur]], Elita helped defend it against an attack by the non-believing [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]] until [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] was able to warp time and space and bring a sun into Cybertronic space, thereby repowering the AllSpark and the plant. With this, the Thetacons accepted that Sentinel Prime had been right all along, and an end was called to hostilities. In the wake of the conflict, as new life began to spring on Cybertron, Elita told Optimus of her two sisters in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] and her desire to see them again, and Optimus decided to go with her. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

[[File:Defiance3 labwork RatchetArceeElita.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Elita-One can't get enough of Optimus's eye tits.]]

Elita and her sisters were later present during Sentinel's speech on [[Unification Day]]. She told Optimus that her sisters would have ''killed her'' if they missed it. Elita and Arcee joined Optimus's [[Science Division]], while Chromia became part of Megatron's [[Defense Force]]. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Years later, when the Science Division unearthed a strange [[The Fallen|relic]] and Cybertron was attacked by the [[Ejoornian|aliens]] of the [[Eshems Nebula]], Megatron changed his military's mission to one of peaceful defense to aggressive offense, taking the fight to the aliens. Elita stayed behind on Cybertron, remaining true to Optimus's belief in the peaceful core values of their planet's society. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} Studying the relic fragments they had uncovered alongside Arcee and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], Elita discovered that they all bore the same symbol in the same area: a symbol was also on Optimus's head. Drawing a correlation between the symbol and the Dynasty of Primes, Ratchet theorized that Optimus was involved with it somehow, redubbing him "Optimus Prime". {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

When Megatron reformed the military into the [[Decepticon]]s and ordered the Primes to be assassinated, Elita came under fire with Sentinel and Wheeljack at the excavation site. Optimus and Chromia came to their rescue, and they escaped via a tunnel to [[Tyger Pax]]. Elita witnessed the departure of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' with the other [[Autobot]]s, and became one of Optimus's closest advisors with Sentinel and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. With the war tearing Cybertron apart, Sentinel proposed using a "torch" to end the war without further loss of life. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} It required the AllSpark to work: as Optimus battled Megatron at [[Simfur Temple]], Elita successfully activated the torch and delivered it to Sentinel. Sentinel boarded the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] and flew to Simfur, but it was all in vain after [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] blew up the ship. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[File:Foundation4ElitaoneOptimus.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Nobody cares about your pain, woman.]]

Elita-One joined a vengeful Optimus Prime in a charge on [[Lord High Protector citadel|Megatron's citadel]]. Shocked at the coldness and violence her old friend was displaying on the battlefield, Elita entreated him to stand down, telling him that such actions were not who he was, but he retorted that Megatron's death was all that mattered. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} She was left behind when Ironhide decided to help Optimus Prime. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Though Optimus did not go through with killing Megatron after her sisters stole the AllSpark, Elita still found herself unable to speak to him. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Sometime in [[1908]], Elita-One were part of an Autobot team sent to steal [[energon]] from the Decepticons. Instead they were ambushed by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his troops, and Chromia was killed in action. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

After the Autobots claimed victory in their first great battle with the Decepticons on Earth in 2007, Starscream began a plan of his own to create an artificial [[Replica AllSpark]], and had Elita-One, [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]], [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]], and [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] captured and put to work constructing it at Simfur. When Starscream arrived to inspect the cube, Elita pled with him for mercy, but none was dispensed. Upon the AllSpark's completion, she was strapped to it, with the intention of draining her life-force to power the cube. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}} Arcee arrived too late to stop her sister's death, but blew up the generators used to store the life energy in revenge, throwing the Decepticons into disarray. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Not long after, Elita-One's remains were acquired by the deranged Decepticon experimentalist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], along with those of her sister Chromia and taken to his lab at an outpost on an unknown planet to use in his attempts to create a new breed of tripartite soldier, three bodies fuelled by a single [[spark]]. After several failures, whether by coincidence or design, Flatline was presented by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] with a new test subject: Elita and Chromia's sister, Arcee. Through the use of Arcee's spark, implanted in a new body, Flatline reignited the life-forces of Elita and Chromia in new shells, albeit not as they had truly had been before: now, they were at one with their sister, a singular entity at the spark, each feeling the sensations and emotions of the other, yet retaining some degree of autonomy and memory of their own identity. "One as three, and three as one". Grappling with their new forms, the sisters broke free, liberating Flatline's other victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], in the process. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, the sisters, the twins, [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While the ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]]) {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3|Dark of the Moon #3}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime. Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ElitaandOptimus.jpg|thumb]]
When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, Elita and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's bewilderment that the Autobots were sending their women to do the fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The violent streak his old friend was now displaying gave Optimus Prime pause, reminding him of the time in the past when he too had sunk into the depths of rage, and how Elita had disapproved of it then.

Returning to base after the mission, Elita told Optimus she could feel things from her sisters whose spark she shared: The pain of Arcee's wounds, and the feel of Chromia's sword blade as she tested it against her fingertip. Prime quietly told her that she had never told him these things before, and she simply replied that he had never asked. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

When Starscream attacked [[Philadelphia]] and Sam Witwicky contacted NEST, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left behind due to damage that Arcee was still sustaining. However, in the end Optimus allowed Elita and her sisters to join the mission. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

During the flight, Optimus tried once more to have Arcee sit out of the mission. Elita reminded Optimus that was Arcee's decision, and her desire for revenge was as strong as Elita's. Optimus tried to explain to her that victory at any price comes at a high cost, recalling the time on Cybertron when Prime let such an emotion overcome him. Elita's anger boiled over and she chastised him for leaving her behind on Cybertron, only to witness Chromia's death and die herself, and said that she had come back to life only to fight and kill more Decepticons. Optimus reminded Elita that he too had experienced [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|death]], but Elita explained that when he died, the Autobots actually cared. She and her sisters were dispatched to upstate [[New York (state)|New York]] - thought to be Starscream's base of operations - and destroy it, although they quickly found out they were wrong and that Shockwave was on Earth. Elita tried to contact Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communications and sent his minions after her sisters. She attempted to flee and warn Optimus, but Astrotrain pursued her. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

[[File:Risingstorm4 Elitadies.jpg|thumb|left|She's dead, Jim.]]
After a short chase, Elita eventually got the drop on Astrotrain. A swipe of her blade cleaved his armor, causing him to explode above a building as Elita sped away. She was able to inform Optimus Prime that the events occurring were not Starscream's doing, but were in fact the result of Shockwave's manipulation. Just as she was delivering her message, she was caught off guard by a surprise attack by Shockwave and was brutally killed, while both of her sisters could only helplessly feel her pain as she died for a second time. Shockwave took a look at Elita-1's lifeless head and mockingly 'asked' her if he had interrupted her. Distraught and enraged by her death, Optimus battled the Decepticon and began to gain the upper hand, until Shockwave's pet Driller arrived and rescued the Decepticon. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Shortly after Elita's death, a "grave" was made for her and other Autobots in the form of shipping containers. Optimus Prime dwelled on their deaths for a few minutes, shortly before he left on a mission to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]]. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1|Dark of the Moon #1}}

Elita-One was part of a small team of Autobot reinforcements summoned to Earth by the surviving Autobots on the planet. Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Elita-One reminded [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]] that they were to wait until they heard from [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], as to act without the Earth-based Autobots' intel would be as good as just shooting themselves in the head there and then. Unfortunately, the Decepticons had detected the arrival, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] arrived to attack them, ironically just as Elita was expressing her desire for a fight. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Starscream's appearance led Elita to mistakenly conclude that the Autobots on Earth must have been destroyed, meaning the mission was a bust, so they team decided to go to Earth themselves—just as Starscream wanted. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}}

[[File:Elitalendsahand-TwilightsLastGleamingpart4.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.75]]
Once on Earth, Elita-One's group unsuccessfully helped Bumblebee in battle against [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. The tables turned when the captive Optimus Prime was freed and joined the fight, so Elita hung back and warned Strongarm to keep out of the leaders' battle. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

After the Decepticons were beaten, she was on sentry duty with [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]]. She was too busy swearing to look in more than one direction, causing the Decepticon attack force to reach Savannah without warning simply because they were approaching from behind her. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}} Somehow this didn't get her banned from further sentry duty. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

Elita-One joined Optimus, Longarm, Strongarm and Sky Blast in the [[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]], on a mission to gather [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from Cybertron. The team was surprised to find a [[Unicron]]-possessed Cybertron head in their direction after they had blasted off. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} She managed to survive Unicron's initial assault against the Autobots' shuttle, and later helped in fending off Unicron's drones while the rest of her team worked out the means to force Unicron into fleeing. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

She later piloted the ''[[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]]'' on its return flight to Earth, and was ordered to fly on to [[Washington, D.C.]] when it was discovered the Decepticons had taken over the Savannah base. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

Elita-1 came to find she had a lot in common with Sideswipe, and would team up to go Decepticon hunting with the Autobot swordsman whenever possible. In particular, the Decepticon bounty hunter [[Axor]] made an interesting challenge for the pair. {{storylink|#TF2010|Elita-1's bio}} Together with her sisters, Elita also got another shot at bringing Sideways down after they begged Optimus Prime to allow them the chance. {{storylink|#SneakAttack|Sideways Sneak Attack}}

When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], powered by [[Project Unite|Project: Unite]] attacked multiple [[human]] installations, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] led an Autobot force to combat the crazed Decepticon. Elita-One was among them, along with [[Scattorshot (ROTF)|Scattorshot]] and [[Hubcap (TF 2010)|Hubcap]]. They fired on Starscream, only managing to anger him, but he was soon blasted by even larger firepower, from a [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] seeking out Starscream's head for his disobedience. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|On the Road of Destruction}}

As Megatron and Starscream battled it out without regard to their Autobot spectators, Elita muttered that she'd rather let the two wear each other down and then take the survivor. However, Optimus Prime knew that keeping their distance would still potentially leave the Unite technology in the wrong hands, meaning the Autobots would have to separate the two and defeat both. While Optimus went after Megatron, he directed Elita and the other Autobots at Starscream. They and Decepticons loyal to Megatron kept Starscream busy until [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] was able to arrive and separate Starscream from his Unite technology. With the defunct Starscream still in the care of Elita and the Autobots, Megatron and his Decepticons fled. {{storylink|The Strongest Weapon}}

: A pinkish-copper and silver [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] toy, Elita-One transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle of undetermined and probably made-up model. Like previous versions of the mold, she comes with several separate weapon pieces that combine into her Energon bow, which pegs into a hole just above her hand, and an Autobot-style [[Energon star|energon chip]]. These items are cast in black plastic. One must take care when removing her black chip, as the star fits so tightly that careless removal can break her torso. Her deco meticulously matches that of [[Arcee (G1)|Generation 1 Arcee]].

*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Launcher, missile

: Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Arcee has references [[tampograph]]ed on her [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], such as her motorcycle's fictional model name, "RC 1100" <small>(Get it? "RC" as in "Arcee")</small>, and her Massachusetts [[license plate]] marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.

: Arcee's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted, which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm in [[robot mode]] is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.

: Undocumented in the instructions, the two shoulder-mounted half-wheels contain a small niche on the edge of the tires. By folding the wheels down with the hubcaps pointing towards the chest and turning the tires towards the shoulders, one can feel the wheels gently click into place via the tire niches and hidden tabs in the shoulders, allowing the wheels to remain in place and more closely resemble the figure as pictured on its packaging. Probably coincidentally, Arcee is almost perfectly scaled to 3.75 inch figures like Hasbro's own ''G.I. Joe'', though this would put her vehicle mode more in line with the size of the larger Kawasaki Ninja than the Firebolt.

: As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike; unfortunately, it's mounted so low that she will fall in the opposite direction if it is fully extended.

*'''Elita-1''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cannons

:Elita-1 is a black, white and purple(ish) [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Elita-1's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her [[license plate]] has ''3L 174'' written on it as a {{w|leet}} way of spelling her own name ("leet"/"Elita"... get it? Haw haw.). [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

: A purple redeco of ''Human Alliance'' Arcee, ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Elita-1 comes with a redeco of ''Human Alliance'' [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]]. Epps can ride her in vehicle mode.

:The mold that this Elita-1 is redecoed from actually uses Chromia's robot design (similarly to Elita-1's Deluxe-class toy), despite originally being named and colored like Arcee, meaning that the purple bike is a recolor of the red bike who somehow had the blue bike's body. Confused yet?

*'''Arcee, Chromia & Elita-1: 3-Pack''' (Deluxe Class, [[2019]])
**''ID number'': '''52'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-41'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[January 25|Jan 25]], 2020'''
**''Accessories'': 3 wheel stands, cannon, sword, shoulderpad, "Shanghai Pursuit" backdrop

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Elita-One is a brand-new Legion Class-sized mold accurate to her appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', transforming into a purple MV Agusta F4. She comes packaged with new molds of [[Chromia (ROTF)#Studio Series|Chromia]] and [[Arcee (Movie)#Studio Series|Arcee]] in a three-pack priced at the standard Deluxe Class price value, making the three the smallest toys in the ''Studio Series'' line to date. The three-pack comes also comes with a stand for each sister's bottom wheels, helping them stay upright, and a cardboard backdrop display of their pursuit of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] in Shanghai streets.

:[[File:Studio_Series_52_Arcee_combiner.JPG|upright=0.85|thumb|left]]
:Though not included in the toys' instructions, the three sisters can combine into a kind of motorcycle-centaur form, as originally proposed for (but cut from) the movie (see [[Arcee (Movie)#Arcee triplets|Arcee's page]] for details). The combined form is assembled using special tabs on Elita-1 and Chromia's stands to link the figures together, and its appearance is completed with three accessories—a pink cannon, a blue sword, and blue shoulder pad—which all attach to Arcee. Elita can wear the gun while in her individual robot mode, but neither it, the other weapons, nor the sisters' stands store anywhere in vehicle mode.

:This is notably the first transforming figure of Elita-1's on-screen robot design, as well as the first toy that doesn't depict her as a repaint of one of her sisters.

:Like the rest of the figures in the same wave, Elita-1 first saw release in some Toys"R"Us shops in Malaysia and independent stores in Hong Kong.

==Notes==
* In both [[IDW Publishing]]'s comics and [[Titan Books|Titan]]'s [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers magazine]], Elita's head (her original body's head, that is) was redesigned to resemble that of [[Elita One (G1)|her Generation 1 counterpart]]. As far as Titan goes, however, apparent lack of communication between artists has meant that this was not consistent across various issues, and that she is sometimes drawn with her toy-based head instead. And there's about a ''million'' different versions of her G1-ised head, one for each Titan artist...
*For her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' incarnation, Elita-1's name was originally announced as "Flareup" at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2hFSxnIsjE Hasbro's panel] during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2009.
**Not long after, at BotCon 2009, it was claimed that she was going to be a redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee.
**The three bike girls were originally going to combine into a larger robot-form, but this was cut from the final movie. A vestigal reference to this can be found in fold-out tabs attached to their action figures, but with Elita's relegation to a redeco, no real combination appears possible with the toys.
**Yeah, plans changed a lot with Elita.
*The third motorcycle in the movie was actually an {{w|MV Agusta F4 series|MV Agusta F4}}, a different model from both Arcee's {{w|Ducati 848}} and Chromia's {{w|Suzuki B-King}}.
*In pre-production artwork, the non-pink components of the proposed combined Arcee were variously shown to be [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 gold], [[:File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|green, or silver]]. Which portions of these monstrosities may have originally been Elita-1 is anyone's guess. Meanwhile, in the "Lamborghini Jump" animatic featured on the "Deconstructing Visual Bayhem" segment of the ROTF special features disk, the third member of the Arcee combiner is [[:File:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|yellow]].
[[File:TakaraWebsiteArceeTriplets.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|~"Wheeere did he go? / That Invisi-bo! / He's a menace to the town and to property / He wants to be in charge of you and me!"]]
*A piece of (adorable!) TakaraTomy website art shows Chromia with her finalized design, but the other two bike girls as pink and red versions of Arcee. As Arcee's toy is red, this would ''ostensibly'' make the pink one Elita-1...despite her film design being entirely different and her toy being a redeco of Chromia.
*''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] is actually Elita-1's model in Chromia's colors.
*While the film is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shot that takes down Elita is fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would claim that all three Arcee components were killed <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blue-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090406032626/http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1608508/story.jhtml Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref> IDW's comics ignored this and continued to feature the three sisters in ''Rising Storm''.

Cybertron Forever: /* Voyager Class toys */ It's a piece of information that i found recently!

{{suite}}

'''[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]''' starred in a film series that made billions of dollars. Woohoo!

==''Transformers'' (2007)==
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only ''Movie'' Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader).

===Legends Class toys===
[[File:Movie Legends Prime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Shortening the smokestacks is good; [[For safety reasons|it makes the toy safer]]. But removing ONE and keeping the other? Crazy.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Optimus Prime'''

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in [[robot mode]]. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. He can also hold small weapons, such as [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]].

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

: The previously-released Legends Class Optimus Prime toy is redecoed to match the Leader class Nightwatch Optimus Prime deco. He comes with a predominantly black and silver redeco of [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Allspark2pack|Starscream]]. The robot mode is mistransformed: his body is not collapsed down to the waist.

:In Asia, at least some units (often separated from Starscream) got dumped to Hobby Shop dealers and were sold at a lower price.

[[File:Movie ProtoformOptimusPrime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Until I find my feet, I have to use these giant robot hands.]]
*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, flame attachment

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.

:He resembles previous Optimus characters in robot mode: his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth, with an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble saying "Exclusive movie poster!". It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Prima|member]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]]. His alternate mode served as a basis for the [[Vok|Vok Novaroids]] for [[The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 5: LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part Two]].

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Optimus Prime mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[e-HOBBY]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic its frozen state in the "coldness" of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

[[File:Movie Voyager OptimusPrime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|The last one of you out of here gets a... gets a lead salad!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Twin Blaster Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[2007]]-[[Calendar|8]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features a small interior with opening doors and a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt. However, due to the aforementioned lessened complexity, significant sacrifices had to be made, such as "cheats" to the transformation sequence to achieve this. He is thus less accurate overall than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. Nevertheless, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg onto his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

*'''Robo-Vision Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a Robo-Vision Decoder. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

: This toy has been retroactively declared part of the ''Premium Series'' of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.

:All international versions came in the same packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

:A gold-chromed version of the Voyager Optimus Prime toy was available as part of the same Lucky Draw contest as the Golden Protoform Optimus (see above) in the December 2007 issue of ''TV Magazine''. Limited to only 3 pieces, it is insanely rare. The photographed sample here features a chromed truck grill, while a boxed unit has an unchromed grey grill; the owners of both pieces, the Mapes Brothers of [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/ Transformers @ The Moon], believe both are genuine TakaraTomy toys, so it unsure if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.

*'''First Strike Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: Released as part of the ''Allspark Power'' refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon ''Generation 1'' and ''Classics'' Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the [[transformation]], this figure actually ends up being ''less'' like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can't have your cake and eat it too, folks.

Although the assortment number and the general packaging style (which are both the same also used for the [[Premium Series]] redecos of Voyager Class [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#Premium|Autobot Ratchet]] and [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#VoyagerPremium|Megatron]]) seemed to indicate that this might be a Best Buy exclusive, it was later confirmed to be an "international market" exclusive.

As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the sculpt, in a "doing things differently to achieve a very similar end result" sense.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile
:The largest 2007 ''Transformers'' movie Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime featured, at the time, the most accurate representation of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His [[Ion blaster]] weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel hitch is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

:Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus's final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a "powering up" sound effect.

:Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints, and ankles. His hands even have individually articulated fingers and thumbs!

:The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the "[[AllSpark Power]]" second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a ''very'' bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers. The translucent parts were also cast in purple translucent plastic instead of black translucent plastic.

:Another difference is that this version comes in an ''AllSpark Power''-style box instead of the original style.

*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"
:The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a [[retool]] and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.

:The paint deco is... unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners, and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.

:Unlike the initial ''Premium Series'' toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment. The instructions still depicts the original Leader Class mold's head.

:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro's release. Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro's Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its "powered up" appearance.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

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

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This blue-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Optimus Prime's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. We would go into what an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess'' this transformation is, but we wouldn't want to fill up the rest of the page.

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

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-01'''
[[File:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don't I look awesome with my corpse backpack?]]

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn't inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy. It should be noted that he was molded in only one paintable plastic color, with red and blue deco patterns decked on it. The top of the truck's bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn't mentioned in the instructions, though they're hardly needed.

: Compared to the final product, stock photos of the figure loses blue paint operations on his knee armor. This mold was also used to make [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event. Optimus also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen EZ Collection sets. And like all the first waves, he comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the Revenge of the Fallen toyline. His pair of legs is also mistranformed to fit in the bubble.

:In Malaysia, this toy is also one of the four Legends Classes to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can be obtained starting from the 12th of July, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.

:Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be warned, there is a very convincing-looking [[knockoff]] that's been making the rounds. While the paint applications are pretty much identical to the real deal, the pegs on the legs/trunk front can be a little too tight when attached. in some worst cases; it can break off if attempted to pull off by force.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|first movie's toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot [[insignia|logo]] on the side of the truck's bunk, and kanji (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军" means "Shanghai General", while "大将" means "Grand general". The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.

:The Japanese version of the toy, named "Optimus Prime Revenge Edition", was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail ''Revenge'' toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the [[tampograph]]ed kanji lettering.

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]'' Optimus Prime would have been a redeco of the 2007 Optimus Prime Voyager-Class mold in a similar style to the Leader-Class Buster Optimus Prime (see below), with a much more accurate and detailed paint scheme, including white stenciled flames. He would have come with a set of [[Jetfire (Movie)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]] armour parts to form the powered-up Optimus Prime seen at end of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', and due to not having to form Jetfire's robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie's design of them than the leader class Jetfire toy could manage. While not combined to Optimus Prime, the armour can be arranged to form a sort of weapon emplacement mode or a jet engine on the back of Optimus's vehicle mode.

:Both Jet Power Optimus Prime and the accompanying redeco of Voyager-Class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#UniteMegatron|Megatron]] 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]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-01'''

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie's Leader-class Optimus Prime.

:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime's entire pectoral region "flexes", lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares "I am Optimus Prime" in [[Peter Cullen]]'s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just "Optimus Prime"; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises.

:Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime's arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime's arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable.

:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro's photos is that the sun visors above Prime's windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime's lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy.

:Overall, the robot mode of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 ''Transformers'' Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.

[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who's your daddy? He is.]]
:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] to form Jetpower Optimus Prime by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy.

:Like several new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted [[prototype]], the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, the rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime's CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release. His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have. Meanwhile, the articulated fingers was later used for the ''Asia Premium Series'' & ''Movie The Best'' releases.

:As a result of striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime ends up being ridiculously complex. Transforming him back into a truck is probably more complicated than shown in the movie and can only be considered ''torture''. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being amazingly vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even ''harder''. Also, let us not forget that, upon transforming him back to robot mode, he will declare his identity over and over and over and over and over until you're finished.

:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release. This version can also attach [[Energon star]]s.

:The entire mold also became a victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from upscaled (and sometimes simpified) molds to high-quality clones. Several of his redecoes/retools below also suffers from this too.

The red and blue plastic colors also vary from the original release, to better match his film appearance.

:As with Optimus Prime Black Version, Buster Optimus Prime uses the improved instructions.

[[File:ROTF-JetpowerOptimusPrime2Pack-CombinedMode.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]

:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market-[[exclusive]] Leader Class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (Movie)#JetfireBuster|Jetfire]] and a slightly altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but unlike the standalone Buster Prime, has a head with a faceplate, itself containing more paint details than the first release of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.

:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version ''doesn't'' use the improved version of Optimus' [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.

This release of Buster Optimus Prime was susceptible to a paint scraping issue on the silver painted slide-out barrel of his blaster. This problem was fixed for the [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|DOTM Re-release]] by relocating the silver paint app from the barrel to the inside wall of an exposed gas tank that had been previously left as unpainted grey plastic. The black paint app on the barrel was left unchanged.

:In mid 2010, this set was released in Australia. In early 2011, it was released in the Philippines. In late 2011, [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|this set]] was [[Rebranding|re-released]] in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[packaging]].

*'''Battle Blades Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Matrix of Leadership, 2 Fuel Tank-Gun assemblies, removable Energon Swords

:Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a brand new sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design. He is much more movie accurate than the previous Voyager incarnations. He features two [[Dual Energon Swords|energon swords]] made of soft plastic, similar to his Leader Class incarnation, albeit not spring-loaded. They can be detached from the mushroom joints they're on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp.

:He also has a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] in his chest which is made of unpainted gray plastic. In an awesome homage, the Movie matrix rests on a stand molded to look like its G1 incarnation.

:His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two [[barrage cannon]]s. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point.

:The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime's transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime's head magically clipping through his chest to transform. The instructions also neglect to mention that his heel/bumper pieces must be slid out until they ''click'', making the figure just that bit more stable, and that the rotating truck door panels on his upper arms can be pulled further out (but not off) from their sockets, allowing more space for the panels to swing around his hood-arms during transformation. It should be noted that the chest windows on all releases of this sculpt are prone to slight cracking, often out of the packaging.

:The TakaraTomy "Autobot Alliance" release of this toy has some significant differences, including casting the red plastic in a darker shade, making his shin and wheel joints grey rather than Hasbro's bronze, painting the Matrix of Leadership silver, and swapping out the dual energon swords for battle hooks, similar to 2010's Leader Class Optimus Prime. However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the dual energon swords rather than the hooks. He retains the masked face used for the Hasbro release.

:This mold was also used to make ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2010)

:This retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class Optimus Prime features the head from Buster Optimus Prime and has had his blades replaced with semi-articulated Battle Hooks for face-destroying action! He has a darker paint job and sports black splotches on his body and head to signify battle damage. However, due to these extra "battle damage" paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the Revenge of the Fallen release were omitted. He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous "I am Optimus Prime!" with "We must stop the Decepticons!" The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated "Optimus Prime" sound clip as the original release. To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about ''anywhere'' outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia). The box also mentions racing sounds, which may or may not be referring to the button-activated diesel engine noises carried over from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' version of the figure.
:This version uses the TakaraTomy version of the instructions, which improved upon the original Leader-Class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.

The jetpack attaches via [[C joint]] clips, and the jetpack can transform in and out of a winged configuration when Optimus is in truck mode.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe

:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], this Deluxe Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, close in scale to Voyager Class [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|Megatron]]. He has a high range of motion, with ball jointed shoulders and hips, swivels at the neck, knees, and feet, and double swivels in the elbows. As a result of the transformation process, he can also rotate at the waist, though this is hindered considerably by his "backpack" [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded "Automorph" feature in his head, if the truck kibble pushes the small grey switch from his back before splitting the chest into half. And due to how close the head of the faceplate and the front unpaintable piece is, Optimus' "nose" section has a tendency to chip off after many transformations.

:Optimus Prime features a [[MechTech]] Blaster that can convert into an Energon Battle Axe reminiscent of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 character]]'s [[Energon-axe|iconic weapon]], though the weapon cannot be locked in battle axe mode. There is also a pair of C joint rods on the underside of both forearms. His MechTech blaster can plug into the port on each of his arms or be held in either hand in robot mode, or plug into one of two holes on his truck roof/robot shoulders.

:After step 5, the instructions did not mention that you should fold back the shoulder panels to form the sleeper part until the 11th step. Care must be taken while transforming the legs: the small peg located on the lower leg can be snapped off due to the peg being slightly thick to accommodate with the hole. Also, take note that Optimus Prime cannot wield 5mm weapons with longer posts, as the way that his pinky finger is molded prevents the post from pegging down through his hands. Also, take note that the legs' sculpted small rectangle peg (the one that locks the robot mode legs in place) is prone to warping if care is not taken during transformation.

:The hand-painted prototype photos from both the packaging and the instructions shows that Prime had long smokestacks, but it was shortened for safety reasons in the final product.

:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]'s weapon. This figure is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

*'''Optimus Prime / MechTech Trailer''' (MechTech Voyager, [[May 14]], 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Ion Blaster/Energy Blade, MechTech trailer

:Release exclusively in Japan, This Optimus Prime is a [[retool]] of the figure above, removing the heat shield and solar panels, as well as replacing any rocket booster parts (such as his heels) and gas tanks with normal truck parts. His light-piping eyes are painted in translucent light blue.

:He also has a new [[MechTech]] Ion blaster with a flip-out [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], and like all Voyager Class MechTech weapons, it can lock into place by latching one of the levers to the body of the gun.

:His MechTech [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|trailer]] opens up much like Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]'s trailer (as well as being able to stand up to harken back to the Generation 1 [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'s upright mode), includes storage for many MechTech weapons inside and out, and is able to transport up to two Deluxe class (or one smaller Voyager) Autobots.

:The flame deco on Optimus' forearm parts (hidden by the wheels) are flipped in the stock photos, which is present in the vehicle mode. The updated version of the photo (seen in the packaging) features the correct deco. Meanwhile, all of the stock photos of the Ion Blaster/Energy Blade (sans the extra step instruction) depicts the blade as a painted opaque piece.

:The instructions also depict his fuel tank assemblies being positioned like the first figure's gas tanks, though you can swivel them frontwards for a better appearance, as seen in the stock photo.

:The figure omits the extended pieces of the side doors in vehicle mode (the ones which can be seen above the gas tanks in robot mode), leaving the sides of the robot mode's chest exposed. There was a variant version which has the extended pieces, covering the gaps behind the front wheels in truck mode.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze-p4S9Lm7c]</ref>

*'''Optimus Prime''' / '''Includes Deluxe Class Comettor''' (Multi-pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Matrix of Leadership, 2 fuel tank gun assemblies, removable Battle Hooks

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] redeco and retool of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]] [[#Voyager Class toys 3|"Battle Blades" Optimus Prime toy]] features the Japanese release's hooks (instead of swords), plus an all-new [[mouthplate]]-less, mouthed face. As part of the set's lunar theme, reflections of stars are painted across his vehicle mode sides and on his windshield, with a sharp reflection of [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in one of his windows. This time, his [[Matrix of Leadership]] is cast in orange plastic.

:This exclusive has a peculiar and common error in that the arm hooks' hubs stick out farther than they should, causing a gap that runs down the middle of the cab's nose in vehicle mode.

:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech trailer]], as the original mold has no trailer hitch to begin with.

:Optimus comes with a "bonus value" Deluxe Class toy, [[Comettor (DOTM)|Comettor]]. The pair together cost a dollar less than a regular Voyager Class toy. It was also available at Galeria Kaufhof department stores in Germany, with Comettor ''not'' highlighted as a "bonus" figure.

:In [[Australia]], this release was available at [[Kmart]] for a considerably lower price than a regular Voyager Class toy.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA24'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Rifle/[[Cybertanium]] Battle Axe

:Fireburst Optimus Prime is a redeco of the standard ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime, sporting a darker shade of blue and a "burning" color scheme that includes replacing all translucent blue parts with translucent orange. Because of this, his light-piping eyes were neutered by opaque light blue paint.

:He comes with a MechTech rifle that converts into a large battle axe, and can be locked in by pulling the lever all the way in and tilting it into a gap to the left. The rifle has a separate flip-out handle, while the axe uses the rifle's long barrel as the handle, meaning that Optimus can grip the axe with both of his hands. This weapon was also retooled in a running change, adding a stop to the handle instead of relying solely on the gear system to prevent the locking assembly from flying off into parts unknown.

*'''Striker Optimus''' (MechTech Leader, [[November 17]] 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA28'''
**''Accessories:'' Eliminator Gun & Assault Blaster (forms [[Mega Striker]]), shield/battle shield

: Labeled as a "[[Triple Changer]]", Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of ''Dark of the Moon'' Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus Prime, with new weapons. The base figure has most of the same mold changes as Jetwing Optimus Prime (see below), but has been altered further; in particular, the transforming smokestacks and fuel tanks/ion blaster parts have been replaced with retooled regular tanks that now function as mounts for the new accessories. The colors on the toy are darker than Jetwing Optimus, with a different flame deco that extends farther along the sides of the toy. Additionally, two new 5mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys"R"Us|Toys"R"Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The "I am Optimus Prime" saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the "We must stop the Decepticons!" saying of 2010 ''Transformers'' Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included.

:He comes with a shield with a fold-out handle, allowing Optimus to hold onto it with either hand in robot mode. It has a simple transformation gimmick for vehicle mode which is activated by pressing a button at the top of the shield, causing the sides to spring outwards. In vehicle mode, the shield can be laid flat across the bed of the truck, attaching via a post on the back onto the truck’s trailer hitch. Alternatively, the bumpers on the shield can be rotated outwards, and the front can be bent down in order to form a new front end and hood for "battle vehicle mode", resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicle modes seen in ''Dark of the Moon''.

:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the "Eliminator Gun" and "Assault Blaster", which combine into the "Mega Striker", a rifle that closely resembles the one used in ''Dark of the Moon''. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In "battle vehicle mode", the sides of the truck are rotated up, and the guns can be attached by small pegs to holes in the modified smokestacks, or they can plugged into any of the standard connection points with their [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode.

The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime's ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster is painted silver with a black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is left as unpainted grey plastic (exactly like the blaster on the original single-boxed ROTF Buster Optimus Prime). After receiving numerous reports from customers that the silver paint on the slide-out barrel was easily scraped off by merely transforming it from gas tank to blaster, Takara-Tomy briefly stated in an interview that they had addressed the issue for the Dark of the Moon packaged version by swapping the placement of the silver paint application. Thus, the Dark of the Moon packaged version now features the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster as unpainted grey plastic with an unchanged black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is now painted silver.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA15'''
**''Accessories:'' Tank A & Tank B (forms Ion Blaster), Jetwing jet pack, Arm Gatling Cannon A & B, Leg Armor A & B

:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class Buster Optimus Prime, with an accompanying large jet pack and massive dual Gatling Cannons. The base Optimus Prime figure has several modifications including: a new stomach area and elbow flares to reflect the changes to Optimus Prime's CG model in ''Dark of the Moon'', modified lower arms to incorporate MechTech ports and clips for the cannons, and a retooled area under his back so the jet pack can fit on more securely. The dual energon blades mounted on his arms have been removed. The toy retains Buster Optimus Prime's electronics, but batteries are not included.

:The Jetwing jet pack attaches onto Optimus Prime via a part that hooks onto one of the hinges behind his neck, and a spring-loaded clamp that latches onto a recessed area under Optimus' back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus' Ion Blaster must be removed for this mode, and they can be stored inside the engines for the jet pack. The Jetwing can be used on previous Leader Optimus Primes from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' onwards, but due to the lack modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn't as stable. The jet pack features four MechTech ports on the main wing articulation points, and two [[C joint]] mounting points on each wing. The Gatling Cannons both feature two MechTech ports and 2 C joint mounts on either side of each cannon.

:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime's flight tech for ''Dark of the Moon'', and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Jetwing Optimus Prime was available for early purchase in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 (held at Tokyo Bic Sight) on [[June 18]] to [[June 19|19]], shortly before its wide release in July.

:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.

:The box seems to have been created rather hastily from the Japanese original. It is roughly identical to the Tomy release, but with the Japanese text edited out... mostly. Random Japanese text remains floating in space on the top of the back panel and underneath the "Jetwing Optimus Prime" name on the front. Curiously, the left flap has been rewritten to eliminate mention of [[NEST]] and the jetpack's ability to detach, while the right flap has been (badly) edited to remove all mentions of [[MechTech]].

*'''Ultimate Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Ultimate, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA32'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Omega Combat Armor, MechTech Ultimax Super Cannon

:Billed on his packaging as "BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!", Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a "normal" Optimus Prime on its own, roughly equivalent to a Voyager in size and complexity, though with a lower degree of screen-accuracy than most large Optimus toys. Prime has 5mm fist holes, as well as additional 5mm ports on his front wheel wells and both sets of external fuel tanks. Four of these remain available in robot mode. The trailer has twelve more 5mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.

:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus' trailer]] transforms into nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although this renders the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation, having no leg articulation whatsoever aside from swinging the hips out slightly and twisting at the ankles for maximum stability. The armor adds six more 5mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the four from the cab robot and the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has his own pair of 5mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can support itself using folding blue landing gear, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic.

:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime's gigantic Ultimax Super Cannon, an electronic light-and-sound weapon the size and mass of a Deluxe figure. The whole cannon attaches to a special socket slightly behind Prime's shoulders, can store on the back or flip over to be gripped in both fists in armor mode, or stored upside-down underneath the trailer in truck mode. When pointed forward, the cannon has a larger helmet styled after Prime's own with a large translucent face shield featuring a painted targeting system. The weapon has three electronic modes: each of two small buttons plays its own weapon-firing noise and flashes one set of lights, while the large pull-switch in the cannon's center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration "I am Optimus Prime". The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the "backpack", allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus' imaginary "flight" operations.

:Although the trailer is made exclusively for the cab with which it comes, it is scaled much more closely to and can be pulled by Optimus Prime's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class iteration.

:In Japan, Ultimate Optimus Prime comes with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Optimus Prime (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. You simply slam him down on the big blue button on the back end of his truck mode and he transforms thanks to spring-loaded mechanisms. To transform him back, just slam him down again on the same blue button.

:Shockingly, he actually has arm articulation! Swivels at his shoulders allow you to rotate his arms 360 degrees! Go little Prime! Unfortunately, because his big blue button sits right under his feet, his robot mode is a little unstable when it comes to standing.

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

:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the ''Dark of the Moon'' Go-Bots toys. Prime's pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.

:In robot mode, the motor gimmick really comes to the fore—his head, shoulders, and legs move in time with his forward movement. His legs pump up and down, his shoulders pump up and down, and his head rocks side-to-side. This gives the toy the illusion that it's running, rather than just rolling.

:The other gimmick for Prime is his auto-transform gimmick. From truck mode, push him down on his back bumper and his bonnet automatically folds back and his arms automatically pop out. He needs to be transformed back manually.

:In robot mode, Go-Bots Optimus Prime has a limited swivel joint for head articulation, and while he has other movable joints, all of them are spring-loaded and unable to hold a pose.

[[File:KreO-Toy Optimus542pc.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Nigh-infinite configuration possibilities, and somehow a WORSE base mode than pretty much every other Optimus's trailer-bases. Wow.]]
* '''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
**''Set number'': '''30689'''
**''Pieces'': '''542'''
**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Skywarp, two Stunt Drivers
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle, weapons sprue (sniper rifle, pistol, submachinegun, handcuffs, radio, ammo box), large tool sprue (shovel, hammer, electric drill, clamp), small tool sprue (socket wrench, screwdriver, wrench, hatchet), 2 traffic cones

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

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

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

:The Optimus Prime Kreon in this set is based on the character's rusty, crusty "evasion mode" from the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' movie. He has a ferrous-metal backpack, which is used to interact with the magnetic parts in the various sets. In this specific set's case, it's so he can be grabbed by the buildable [[Strafe (AOE)#Kre-O|Strafe]]'s dino-claws, once Strafe uses said claws to open up the "laser" cage made to contain Optimus. (Yeah, we know Strafe appears way after Optimus ditched this look in the movie.)

:This Kreon of Optimus Prime is very, very similar to both the "[[Galvatron Factory Battle]]" and the "[[Decepticon Replicator]]" Optimus Kreons. This one however has silver hands, a light smirk under his facemask, and lacks the clip-on smokestacks.

: This set was only available on [[June 28]] as part of a special promotion at Toys"R"Us, given away free from noon to 2pm (roughly) as part of an in-store building event that coincided with the opening weekend of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' and the final day of a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale on all ''Transformers'' product.

**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle

:This version of "movie" Optimus is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' incarnation, as that's how he appears in "[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]" and as a mascot character on the park grounds. He is available exclusively in a box set sold at The Ride's gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks. After several years of ''only'' being available at the park proper, the four-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. Optimus'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 Optimus's medium-pearlescent-gray plastics (his arm-mounted smokestacks) have been lightened considerably and lost a significant amount of metallic sheen.

: In mid-2020, the set was revamped again ''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.

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

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

: Unfortunately, the Mini-Con Combiners apparently never saw release anywhere.

Four holes are located on the top-front end of the trailer, with another three inside. The door also folds down to become a ramp, and the inside of the trailer is big enough for several Legion or Commander Cyberverse toys, or one smaller-end Deluxe figure. Two [[C joint]] bars also run along the bottom of both sides.

:Unlike both the Walmart exclusive Deluxe figure and the Japanese release, no weapon accessories are included.

:Amusingly, the packaging still showcases 3 canceled Movie Trilogy Series Deluxe class toys.

He shares a similar (not identical) transformation with his fellow One-Step changer, Hound. Also, due to his transformation scheme, his shoulders can be pushed forward (the arms is pushed on the same time), which also allows him to wield a close ranged weapons with longer handles with both hands.

*'''First Edition Optimus Prime''' (2014)
**'''14 OF 30'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield

: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toy line]]. Prime is an all-new Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck vehicle mode and his updated robot mode from the film (well, mostly based on his initial design rather than the final design in the movie). His transformation is much simpler than his counterparts from the previous three movie lines, being billed as transforming in "15 easy steps." His torso, shoulders, upper legs, and the vehicle mode grill are all completely chromed with the exception of minor blue and red details painted on his chest. However, this comes at the expense of his smokestacks and wheels being bare gray plastic, whereas they are chromed in the film. His simplified transformation also comes at the expense of having a very bulky "backpack" of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. However, his truck [[kibble]] can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own.
[[File:TF-AOE-FE-Optimus-Prime-individual-modes.jpg|left|250px|thumb]]

:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via a 5mm post. In truck mode, the sword is stored underneath, while the shield mounts onto the trailer hitch. The sword also features a [[5 mm post|5mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:He was only available as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, but was also released at brick and mortar retails in Australia and Hasbro's Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as "14 of 30" in Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]'' campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.<ref name="fepress">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for ''Age of Extinction'' First Edition Optimus Prime]</ref> To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies ''another'' product as "14 of 30", which doesn't sport any such markings on its packaging ''either''.<ref name="retro">[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Habro Thrilling 30 retrospective] on Facebook, mirrored [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/hasbro-transformers-30th-anniversary-thrilling-30-exclusives-retrospective-gallery-181598/ here] on TFW2005.</ref>

:Part of the first wave of TakaraTomy ''[[Movie Advanced Series|Lost Age: Movie Advanced]]'' toys, this Japanese-exclusive redeco of [[#Deluxe Class toys|2007 ''Transformers'' Protoform Optimus Prime]] is given a ''Generation 1''-styled color scheme (which is ''also'' based on his appearances in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Foundation]]'' comic-book mini-series). Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. His now-blue flame decoration piece fits the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail (Not sure if this was meant to represent his jetpack blast effect or his atmospheric entry heat effect, which is for no reason: entirely blue instead of hot red). The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.

**''Accessories:'' Sword
:A redeco of the ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class toy, this Optimus Prime has large portions of his body, mostly his truck parts, vacuum metalized silver, and his light-piped eyes were neutered by blue paint. He comes with a redeco of Generation 1 [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]]'s sword, which can be wielded by his 5mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, ''especially'' with the shoulder kibble & the bottom leg's posts (This can be amended if you slightly widen the holes with 3mm hand drills). As with the original ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class figure, the instructions did not mention about forming the sleeper part until step 10, the pinky finger prevented the sword to peg down through his hands, and of course: his truck mode can attach with the Armored Weapons Platform included in the ''Chronicle'' or the ''Movie Trilogy Series'' figure.

*'''Evasion Mode Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2014)
**''Series / Number:'' '''M4 / #001'''
**''Japanese Name'': '''Classic Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD02'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2014-[[May 17|05-17]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion cannon, projectile/nozzle

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Evasion Mode Optimus Prime" is an all-new figure based on the character's initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime's White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, ''two'' false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm as the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a "default" 90° position. Also, while you transform him back to truck mode, his hands must be in the same sideways position to ensure the truck kibble is properly flushed.

:Optimus includes a spring-loaded missile firing "ion cannon" modeled after Megatron's shotgun from ''Dark of the Moon'', with the missile features a sculpted shotgun nozzle on the front section. It can be held in his hand or attached to the top of the truck cab or truck bed via 5mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it.

:In time-honored tradition, Prime's instructions depict the toy with an alternate "[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]" head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' and "Rusty" releases of the figure (see below). Additionally, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him with extra white/silver [[Paint operation|paint detail]]s, especially on his chest and wheel rims, as well as having gray upper arms with red details, among other differences.

:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy, but slightly larger than his ''Generation 1'' toy's truck) he is quite tall. Due to the lack of molded trailer hitches, Evasion Mode Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it can be hooked with the truck's cavity, albeit slightly lifted up.

:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' toys, is dubbed "Classic Optimus Prime", and opts for a deco closer to Prime's previous on-screen appearances, omitting the blue paint on his feet and hands to reveal the gray plastic underneath, and adding new paint details all over. Instead of painting it in clear light blue, his light-piping eyes is neutered with opaque light blue paint. In terms of quality control, at least ''one'' sample has missing its silver paint on the head's left cheek. Moreover, there is a variant that comes with his faceplated head sculpt.{{fact|Like, which one?}}

:The faceplated version of the mold was used to make [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]].

**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Vector Shield

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Leader Class toys, this is yet ''another'' completely new "big" Optimus Prime figure. While smaller than the First Edition toy, this one features more silver and chrome paint in vehicle mode, a more poseable robot mode, and a Vector Shield accessory instead of the Sentinel Shield. Unlike the First Edition figure, Leader Class Optimus Prime's pauldrons and hip-skirts are formed from truck kibble, giving him a marginally smaller backpack. His accessories have roughly the same functionality as the First Edition toy, with his sword being hand-held and pegged onto his hands or storing underneath the truck, and his shield mounting onto his left forearm or storing on the back of the truck. Additionally, the sword sheath underneath the truck can be folded up and used in robot mode.

:It should be noted that this Optimus Prime can accommodate the [[Dual Energon Swords#Dark of the Moon|Battle Blade]] accessories to recreate the scene of him fighting against Galvatron.

:This figure was only made available as a store [[exclusive]] in parts of Europe, at least in the United Kingdom (at Argos) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).

:Apparently, early plans for the shield were to have it colored gold and silver, but it was later changed to gray and red. When a hand-painted [[prototype]] of the toy was first displayed at the 2013 New York Comic Con, the shield was colored yellow and silver; in addition, the original versions of the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] also depict the gold color, but the versions featured on the back of the toy's [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy's colors for the shield. Meanwhile, the versions of the stock photos provided to websites and online retailers depict the shield in its final colors for the robot mode, whereas the vehicle mode photo is the unedited version featuring the shield's original colors. Furthermore, UK-based retailer Argos also featured unedited versions of the stock photos for both modes in one of its catalogs, causing some confusion among fans.<ref name="argos">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/991761-uk-getting-different-leader-decos-optimus-yellow-vector-shield.html TFW2005 thread] about outdated stock photos used in Argos catalog.</ref> Sometimes, the spring loaded "[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]" feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...

:A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime. He transforms into a Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck as seen in the film, in ''4 steps'':
::1. Press 2 buttons on the truck steps make the side panels pop out in position.
::2. Fold down the front section to transform it's robot mode legs.
::3. Fold back the rear parts to form the kibble.
::4. Position the arms into place, and Optimus will announce "Transform!", with a classic transformation sound effect.
:Like Chomp & Stomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers (Both Hasbro and TakaraTomy), activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He is notably less kibble than other AOE Optimus Primes...from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so promising with large chunks of Western Star truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he's wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out...

:The Sword of Judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the ''Age of Extinction'' leader class Optimus but cast in flat grey rubbery plastic rather than the transparent plastic and paint operations of the initial release. This Optimus Prime erroneously features blue paint on his feet instead of the screen-accurate red.

:This Optimus Prime can tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it lets the wheels lift off the ground.

**''Accessories:'' Ion cannon, projectile/nozzle

:Released as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Movie The Best]]'' toyline to conclude the 10th anniversary of the [[live-action film series]], this Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of his Evasion mode toy. He also uses the faceplated head and the dark gray-colored Ion Cannon used for the Evolution 2-pack/''Platinum Edition'' 5-pack release. While his deco had taken cues from both the TakaraTomy release of Evasion Mode Optimus Prime and the ''Platinum Edition'' Breakout Battle figure, the weathering pattern bears a similar resemblance to his rusty version of the figure. Unfortunately, this release suffers from ''heavy'' mold degradation, particularly in the form of ill-fitting tabs around the truck front/shoulder area.

:Like the rest of the ''Movie The Best'' figures, Optimus Prime is packaged in vehicle mode.

In terms of deco, he features a darker plastic color and paint (which resulted in two-tone shades of silver & gunmetal), which is meant to go with this line's Jetfire.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MPM-4'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[September 16]], 2017'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Cannon, 2 Energy Swords, Matrix of Leadership
:Released to conclude the 10th Anniversary of the live-action film series, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]] Movie Series'' Optimus Prime is a brand new mold that transforms from a 25 cm-tall robot (a little taller than MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|Convoy]]) resembling how the character appeared in the first live action movie into a <s>Kenworth W900</s> modified Peterbilt 379, in 43 steps, with many of the engineering cues being distinctively based and improved on the [[#Leader_Class_toys_2|ROTF Leader Class mold]].

:The figure has diecast in its feet, shins, and abdomen. It features pinstriped flames, articulated fingers, a headsculpt with a face that can rotate between masked and unmasked modes in a method identical to Armor Knight Optimus Prime's, and an abdomen that opens to reveal a chamber housing a diecast Matrix of Leadership. He comes with said Matrix, his Ion Cannon, and a pair of Energy Swords that tab in behind his wrists (the hands unfortunately have to be bent forward to accommodate these). All three weapons can combine and store on the fifth wheel in vehicle mode.

:Though the figure does a much better job of conveying the on-screen character model than the ROTF Leader Class mold did, there are still a few inaccuracies—most notably the forearm and shoulder pad designs and the head/torso proportions. The final product also lacks certain paint details visible in stock and packaging imagery, such as the blue rings on his feet and the gold on his pelvis. It should be noted that this mold does not combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Leader Class toys|Jetfire]].

:The TakaraTomy release replaces the dark gray plastic on the Hasbro version with lighter gray as well as adding the missing paint apps shown on the box.

:In addition, it is very difficult, if not impossible for the vehicle mode to tab together properly. The entire cab assembly breaks apart very easily as the tabs lack sufficient friction to keep it together, resulting in either a gap forming between the front windows and the hood or part of the hood raising up. The pipes that are supposed to connect to the bottom of the smokestacks also don't swing out far enough to properly do so if the feet are tabbed together completely. When attempting to complete the cab assembly, it is advised to apply upward pressure on the front side barrels while pushing the cab downwards. A misassembly error is also present on all versions of the mold, where the roof hinges that connect the sides of the cabin are reversed.

:[[Starscream (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|As]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|expected]], the [[:File:MPM4Optimus.jpg|Hasbro stock photos]] have the figure mistransformed in both modes. The backpack is a mess, the chest and torso bits aren't properly configured, and the smokestacks in truck mode aren't extended.

:In the United States, Canada, and Hasbro's Asian markets, ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Optimus Prime was exclusively available from [[Toys"R"Us]], whereas in Spain, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour. It's currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply "Toys-Shop", but again might have been available online only.

:This Optimus Prime is a ''minor'' redeco of the One-Step Changer figure, ''omitting'' the paint apps on the knees, the flames on his shoulders, and changing the robot mode chest's deco. Along with his wavemate Bumblebee, Optimus Prime loses his pin on his leg, which is used to activate Stomp & Chomp Grimlock's pop-out weapons and gimmicks. As with the first wave of the Turbo Changers, Optimus features a nearly invisible tampograph on his vehicle front, which can be revealed with [[Dragonstorm#MegaTurboChanger|Mega Turbo Changer Dragonstorm]]'s UV-powered Cyberfire gimmick.

:Knight Armor Turbo Changer Optimus Prime is a Voyager-sized figure that transforms from truck to robot in just 2-steps: pulling his whole truck kibble to the front then fold down to complete the robot mode, although converting him back requires some few steps. His only articulation is the elbows, and he features 5mm compatible hands. He also features a "Knight Armor" gimmick, which consists of his mask popping out to his head with the press of the button on his chest. Take note that you need to flip back the mask manually before you turn him back into Truck Mode.

:The TakaraTomy release of the figure features extensive paint applications to resembles his on-screen appearances, and his pop-out mask is now vacuum metallized with some gold details.

:Being only an inch and three quarters half, he is the second smallest transformable movie version of Optimus Prime around, only losing the first spot to the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Q-Transformers|Q-Transformers]] version. Much like the normal-colors [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#TinyTurboChanger|Bumblebee]], he was available in both Series 1 and 2 of the line, with no noteworthy changes between releases.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legion Class, 2017)

:Legion Class Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the first ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class figure, with the deco resembling the paint job from Optimus Prime's Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck. While the main body is identical to the figure, the arms and legs are newly tooled, with simple assemblies for the wheels. The retooled legs now features a more solid stopping point, which prevents the center front grill/legs to swing back further. It should be noted that his flame decals are ''painted over'' the side windows.

:The newly tooled legs also feature unreasonably long pegs to secure their connection in vehicle mode. They have a tendency to snap off over time, though this doesn't affect the toy too much.

:In 29th August to 29th September, the entire 1st wave of ''The Last Knight'' Legion Class figures that almost ''massively'' shelfwarmed in Malaysia's Toys"R"Us stores was sold as a giveaway item for the customers who purchased ''The Last Knight'' toys in a price of RM200 (approx $46) in a single receipt. Optimus is one of the four.

:"Cybertron Optimus Prime" new features a darker grey plastic, and mostly shares the same paint mask to the original Deluxe class figure, with added paint details on his head and the mesh-like pattern on the front of his "entry" mode. The silver paint on his chest was slightly changed from the original and he lacks the paint on his feet, his "headlights", and the top of his "entry" mode. Lastly, he features Cyberglyphics on his vehicle mode windows, and the rear sides of the vehicle. His flame attachment is now cast in translucent red plastic with orange sprays.

:Although ''MechTech'' Optimus Prime's deco is similar to the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 2|first Deluxe Class figure]], some of his parts (robot shoulder flaps, chest piece/truck front) were recast in blue plastic (with the chest being painted red), and his paint applications on the pelvis, headlights & thighs are omitted. His front truck hood/backpack's deco is altered: the truck steps and the fenders were painted blue, and the gold gradients on the flame tampographs are removed, while he features additional flame tampos on both sides of his front hood, and an Autobot Insignia on his left robot shoulder. He still retains the light-piping gimmick, but cast in clear plastic, with the eyeballs being (halfheartedly) painted with clear blue. His MechTech weapon is cast in transparent orange plastic, with the exception of the scope/lever and the gun barrel, which remained opaque silver plastic due to being cast with unpaintable plastic. He also features Cyberglyphics on the left side of his vehicle mode front hood.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2017)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield

:This Voyager-sized Optimus Prime is an all-new mold (with a similar transformation scheme to [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Generations|''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class Galvatron]], notably the shoulders, rooftop backpack, and the leg/wheels combo) based on his Leader Class figure. He features a similar but different transformation scheme, which results in a somewhat clean robot mode, although most of his vehicle kibble hangs on his back. He also features the sword & the shield based on his final design in the movie, albeit the sword being painted similarly to the Armor Knight Optimus Prime's sword. His Sword can store underneath his Vehicle mode or his robot mode backpack, while the shield can be stored on the truck's fifth wheel hitch, which can also tow the trailer included from the Japanese exclusive [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#VoyagerTrailer|Mechtech Voyager]]. Although the pectoral armor can be slightly pushed up a little bit further, the pieces have to actually stop at where the rectangular peg holes are located.

:Surprisingly, this was also the first Hasbro exclusive transforming Movie Optimus Prime figure to be based on the final design seen in ''Age of Extinction''. He even features the forearms that Prime had before obtaining the Sword of Judgement, which unfortunately means that he is inaccurate to his appearance in the battle of Hong Kong and the entirety of ''The Last Knight''. The sword's blade is still painted as the heated-up version from the concept art.

[[File:Shellformer_TLK.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Continuing the family [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#"First Edition" toys|tradition.]]]]
:Like the larger ''First Edition'' figure, you can actually separate the robot mode from his vehicle shell, displaying both of his modes at once... albeit unlike the ''First Edition'' figure, this tweak could sacrifice the even stability between those two separated figures. Some of the pieces like the legs/rear wheels are particularly difficult to separate.

:While he can tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]], it cannot turn left or right due to the gray trailer hitch slightly pressing against the trailer's landing gear joints, and it ''slightly'' lifts the trailer with the front-rear tires lifting off the ground. The 2018 giveaway event-exclusive [[Quad Barrel Shotgun#Generations|Quad Barrel Shotgun]] accessory can be used for this figure.

:The Hasbro stock photos of the toy are ''slightly'' mistransformed: his pectoral armor is not folded correctly in robot mode. At least a ''very small'' number of units feature a faceplate-less head sculpt which was probably intended for a later retool, but there is no news about this pretool being released in the future. This figure was also released in Toys"R"Us Japan on May 1st, 2017 as a store exclusive, likewise identical to the Hasbro release.

:The CG stock photos feature extra silver paint apps on the lower thighs and hands, which the final product does not feature.

His Autobot insignia is also moved on the upper back section of the air dam. He is packaged in a stylish, display-case-like-box similar to later ''Transformers: Alternators'' releases and the Hasbro Toy Shop/SDCC 2011 exclusive figure.

His United States release was initially claimed to be exclusive to [[Target]] by online retailers from Asia, but even though the other ''Reveal the Shield'' products eventually became available at Target, Voyager Class Optimus Prime was released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in the United States instead, complete with a "Toys"R"Us exclusive" sticker. Also, both his United States and Asian releases lack the "Reveal the Shield" logo the United Kingdom release has (but still feature the "Reveal hidden images" call-out).

:This Optimus Prime is a somewhat/nearly screen-accurate redeco of the Leader Class figure, but uses the original Leader mold instead of the Armor Knight retool unfortunately. In comparison to the first ''Age of Extinction'' Leader Class figure, his vacuum-metalized front truck bumper, sun visors, robot mode chest, smokestacks and side tanks chest was omitted, revealing the grey plastic underneath. His chromed chest was also stripped of chrome for adding paint operations, his shield was unpainted, and both of his sword and truck mode windows were casted in colorless plastic. He also features some extra silver paint on his robot mode forehead, and his white-colored Autobot insignia is slightly tampographed on the left.

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TLK-15'''
**''Accessories'': Temenos Sword, Calibur Axe, Overshield/Fifth Wheel Hitch, Energon Sword (limited edition)

:Calibur Optimus Prime is a retool of the Armor Knight Optimus Prime figure, who is a retool of the original ''Age of Extinction'' Leader Class figure, with the fifth wheel hitch now forming his handheld shield based on the one used in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], which results in a backpack-less robot mode and an additional [[partformer|partforming]] gimmick to boot, although the shield still can be converted into a backpack like the original Leader Class mold do. He also comes with an axe based on the one used in the third film.

:The initial release of the figure comes with a limited edition Energon Sword. According to [https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%83%9F%E3%83%BC-%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC-TLK-15-%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%AA%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AA%E3%83%97%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A0/dp/B072FVY1SX/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1498192402&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=TLK+optimus#productDetails Amazon Japan's page], the included Energon Sword & Axe is also compatible with ''Movie the Best'' MB-11 Optimus Prime figure (seen above), which basically makes Calibur Optimus Prime a weapon expansion pack for said figure.

:In an amusing (but glaring) example of poor quality control in a Takara product, the back of the packaging features a small amount of [[Engrish]], notably the word "kinetic" being written as "''Kinetic'''k'''''". The bio also mentions the elemental metal as the "Cyber-Matter" living metal, which is used for the Aligned continuity family. Oddly, TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout "battle figure" included with Telebi Magazine's [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].

:The Calibur Axe was later redecoed into "Bronze Caliber Axe", as a giveaway accessory for the 3rd ''The Last Knight Final Battle Campaign'' in Japan. In 2018, Optimus Prime is released along with [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TLKLeader|Megatron]] as part of the TakaraTomy Mall exclusive "Optimus Prime VS Megatron" set.

:Released as part of a new line called ''[[Transformers Tribute]]'', Orion Pax is a redeco of ''Titans Return'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Sergeant Kup]], and transforms from a red-and-blue Cybertronic pickup truck which is also an homage to <s>Generation 1 [[Crosshairs (G1)#Generation 1|Crosshairs]]'s vehicle mode </s> [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Collector's Edition|G1 Optimus's e-HOBBY toy]]. His Titan Master, retooled from [[Recoil (G1)#Generations|Flintlock]], features a new face that is based on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Deluxe|''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax toy]]. As a redeco of the Kup mold, Orion Pax still suffers the leg panel misassembly.

:The set also includes a redeco of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|''Generations War for Cybertron'']] Optimus Prime figure, which changes the original figure's dark red plastic to a brighter, more vibrant red, changes the gray plastic to a darker charcoal tone, changes the "windows" from gray to nearly black, and replaces most of the original figure's pink-ish red paint details (which were yellow on the redeco from the "Rage over Cybertron" three-pack) to teal.

:The use of a G1-based Orion Pax design and an Aligned-based Optimus Prime design with Movie Optimus Prime packaging art makes it hard to know where on the wiki this should go, but given the general movie-themed bent of the ''Tribute'' line, we're putting it here. Continuing the tradition, the 2-pack was first released in some Asian countries like Taiwan without any prior announcement from Hasbro itself. A few months after the 2-pack's release, ''Tribute'' Optimus Prime & Orion Pax saw worldwide release through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], including an Amazon Japan listing bearing a ''The Last Knight'' ID number.

**''Japanese release date'': '''[[April 28]], 2018'''
**''Accessories'': Two [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]]s, "Forest Battle" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Optimus Prime is an all-new Voyager Class mold that transforms from a robot into a Peterbilt 379 semi-truck. He comes with a pair of [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]]s, which can be mounted onto his arms or store on the back of his robot mode or truck mode. The figure combines engineering concepts from his ''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class figure with techniques previously used on ''Prime: First Edition'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Prime: First Edition|Optimus Prime]]. He also features a more subdued color scheme compared to other Optimus Prime figures. Like the rest of the ''Studio Series'' figures, the figure prioritizes robot mode [[scale]] and thus stands shorter than his Voyager Class wavemate [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Starscream]]. The CG renders depict him possessing long smokestacks, but the final product has them shortened... again. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the forest battle from ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:While the 5mm compatible arms can fit with most weapons with the same post size, some of the weapons' handles can barely fit on it due to either the slightly thickened tab or sculpted thin panels.

:The rear truck cabin/back kibble can turn slightly floppy over time in robot mode, as there are no tabs and holes to secure it. This mold is not meant to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]], although it can be achieved with some [[Fan mode|fiddling]]. However, it ''can'' carry (but not combine with) ''Studio Series'' 44 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:While stock photos and renders show the figure with a faceplate, this [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/1859790330757819/?type=3&theater image] posted by the Transformers Facebook page shows him with his mouth exposed. This was later found as a variant at least [http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/05/07/transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-faceplate-less-variant-images-363449 once]. A running change was made, changing the blades to be more translucent. The semi-translucent blades release features a date code "73461", whereas the translucent orange blades version features a date code written as "80171".

:TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode is mistransformed on the right elbow: His forearm is bent ''back'' instead of the front.

**''Accessories'': [[Ion blaster]], "Highway Showdown" backdrop
:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' (though sold under the first ''Transformers'' film's branding), this ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is an extensive retool of the figure above, featuring many new parts, namely a new backpack, chest piece, Back of thighs, forearms, a (removable) abdominal area, and lower legs with a pair of non-transforming fenders. These new parts lead to [[Show-accuracy|a better resemblance to his appearance in the first two movies]] and allow him to combine with ''Studio Series'' [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]] to form "Jetwing Optimus Prime," while resulting in a somewhat more involved transformation. His color scheme features a much higher contrast than the previous release. Unfortunately, as a trade-off for having a more accurate robot mode, his vehicle mode suffers; his front drive tires lift off the ground, he’s missing the toolboxes behind his fuel tanks, some of his robot mode kibble is exposed beneath his doors, and several of the floodlights above his windshield are gone.

[[File:Jet Optimus SS.jpg|left|thumb]]
:Instead of Energon Swords, he now comes with an [[Ion blaster]] like that used in the battle of [[Mission City]]. It can be stored on various rectangular peg holes on Prime's vehicle mode or on the larger rectangular pegs on his cab nose/forearms or robot mode back. While Optimus can use the first mold's blades, the new backpack's design prevents the swords from being stored, and using the intended "underslung" grip displaces his forearm armor slightly. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the highway fight with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the first ''Transformers'' film. Since the Leader Class figure below is a redeco of this one, it should come as no surprise that this one is fully compatible with the trailer and jet pack.

:As the front grills rely on the hook-and-tab assembly to complete the truck mode and combined to the fact that they're molded in translucent plastic with silver entirely painted on it, the painted tabs can chip off after many transformations, slightly breaking the front grill assembly apart, leaving a ''very small'' gap. Care must be taken when combining him with Jetfire, as it can place much stress on the hinges that the grills are connected to.

:The packaging stock photo features him having a misassembled hip, which is facing backwards. Speaking of misassembly, a small amount of Optimuses have two left or right upper arms. These errors prevent the front section from fully transforming. This can be identified by viewing the front section while he's still in-package.

:His rear wheels were later reused for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime]].

:The third ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is an all-new mold based on his appearance in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', and as such closely resembles the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 Optimus design]]. He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film's final scene. Optimus comes with the [[Ion blaster]] he is seen wielding in the film's Cybertron sequences and a backdrop featuring the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] where he meets up with Bumblebee.

:While his truck mode scales with most of the ''Studio Series'' brethren, Optimus's robot mode shares the same height as his other Optimuses in this section, which means that he towers over his original size in the film. Unlike his appearance in the movie, this Optimus's design closely resembles [[Mark Yang]]'s concept art of the character, complete with flat feet. Unlike most of the ''Studio Series'' figures, this Optimus doesn't have any insignia tampographed or sculpted on. The silver weathering on his stomach varies from figure-to-figure.

:Unfortunately, the grey lower leg panels tend to disconnect/dislodge if the feet are swiveled, or if the pressure is applied downwards while standing. The silver-painted hinged panels on the sides of his truck mode (and to an extent, the painted crotch) are prone to chipping due to being involved in the transformation.

:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|MechTech Trailer]] due to the still-too-far-forward hitch port. It can, however, hitch up properly with the ''Studio Series'' Leader Class trailer below, though the fifth wheel's 5mm hole isn't wide enough to properly connect with the 7mm hitching peg. Placing the peg in the hitch holds it loosely in place, which is fine for static posing but likely to fall off with play.

:This toy was one of the items that was released as part of Hasbro's Transformers 35th Anniversary promotional mailer box<ref>https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/21/transformers-35th-anniversary-promo-box-in-hand-388546</ref> and was also given a repaint as part of TakaraTomy's own [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#35th Anniversary|35th Anniversary exclusive set]].

:This Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the second toy with a new stomach area that is molded to be accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'', complete with a new trailer forming his weapons platform and combat armor. He also comes with two cannons, an energon axe, a shield, an energon sword, and a slightly redecoed (de-decoed?) ion blaster from the second toy, losing its blackened barrel. His fellow Leader Class Autobot, [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], comes packaged with a replacement ''Transformers'' and ''Revenge of the Fallen''-accurate abdomen piece, allowing them to combine... though the piece is color-matched to Optimus's first ''Studio Series'' 05 release, a figure that lacks this figure's new molding and is thus incompatible with Jetfire. In addition to the new deco and molding, the hinges in his back that the panels with the fuel tanks are attached to now have pins, preventing the pieces from popping off when swiveling them into position during conversion.

:In terms of deco, Optimus features gradient orange paint on his forearms/truck front which the Voyager Class release didn't have, while the formerly transparent parts are now cast in opaque blue plastic, with both his real and [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux windows]] painted silver. Meanwhile, the CG stock renders feature several color and deco details that are inaccurate to the final toy; notably, the joints on his grille section are shown to be orange rather than gray, the windows are shown to be transparent rather than opaque, and all the weapons are shown to be painted, even though the only weapon that actually features ''any'' paint on the final toy is the sword. Conversely, both the CG render ''and'' the near-final stock photo of the robot mode show the new abdomen piece as being painted in a single red color, while the final product (including the TakaraTomy stock photos) have the details in the center section painted in movie-accurate silver.

:The CG render on the front packaging is a rather lazily-edited version of the Optimus Prime art (complete with ''Revenge of the Fallen''-styled abdomen), with the Jetwing unit slapped on his back. There are also a few obvious design oversights, with no official instructions on how to store the Ion Blaster and no actual means of attaching the shield to Prime's arm in a shield-like manner. And while Prime himself has been improved to prevent parts popping off, the dark grey "shoulder straps" on the Jetwing have a frustrating tendency to pop off due to the raised rectangular details directly under them, meant to hold them in place with friction but instead causing the part to flex and deform under pressure.

: Despite the figure's size classification, Prime himself is Voyager-sized (obviously, seeing as he's a retool of a previous ''Studio Series'' Voyager). The Leader Class price point comes from the extra accessories that he comes packaged with.

Optimus' truck mode can also be attached with the Energon Igniters core, and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly, making him a fast-moving truck.

Upon securing the city of Chicago, 35 East Wacker served as [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s makeshift command center.

[[File:DOTM Dylan meets Sam.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|''"Can't you get me off the hook, Tom? For old times sake?"'']]
Seeking to exploit Carly's boyfriend [[Sam Witwicky]]'s connection to the [[Autobot]]s for the [[Decepticon]]s' own evil ends, Gould arranged a job interview for him at [[Accuretta Systems]], on whose board of directors he had a seat. Visiting Carly at work to tell her the good news, Sam took an immediate dislike to the smarmy Gould and the closeness he and Carly displayed, feeling further emasculated when he discovered Gould had set up the interview for him. Gould even gave Carly a [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG]], and invited the young couple to a party at his estate, but Sam refused to go as he had begun to unravel the lunar conspiracy, though he had no idea Gould was at the heart of it.

[[File:DOTM Dylan at party.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67]]
Soon after, when the recently revived Autobot leader [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] revealed his treachery and joined with the Decepticons in using his [[space bridge]] to attack [[Washington, D.C.]], Sam raced to Gould's estate to get Carly to safety. There, Gould finally showed his true colors: The "[[Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes]]" was revealed to be a disguised Soundwave, who held Carly hostage while Gould attached a [[Watch-bot|Decepticon watch]] to Sam's arm, instructing him to learn all he could about the Autobots' plans to fight back. With Carly being Gould's hostage and his nervous system tortured by the watch, Sam was forced to comply. But before leaving, he vowed to kill Gould. Sam learned that the Autobots were planning to leave Earth with no retaliation due to being exiled at the demands of Sentinel Prime. Content with this information, Gould gave the signal to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who blew the Autobots' [[Xantium (DOTM)|spacecraft]] out of the sky, apparently destroying them. Gould then declared "We all work for the Decepticons now".

[[File:DOTM Dylan suggests killing prisoners.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67]]
As the Decepticons set about razing [[Chicago]], turning the city into a fortress, Gould took Carly to his penthouse in [[Trump Tower]] and explained that the evil robots were planning to teleport [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] into the solar system, and put humanity to work rebuilding the planet: he had secured his and Carly's freedom by selling out his own race. When he tried to watch he was ordered to leave by Megatron ("I hate that guy, he's such a dick"). Gould was visibly disturbed by the Decepticons' invasion and massacre of Chicago, but when questioned by Carly, all the traitor had to say was that everything was alright, as long as he was safe.

Chicago soon became a battleground, however, when the Autobots' seeming deaths were revealed as a deception, and they helped Sam break into Gould's penthouse. Sam had Gould at gunpoint, but [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] entered the room, grabbed Sam and threw him off the side, but he was saved by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s [[Orbital Assault Carrier|commandeered fighter]] and saved Carly. Gould later reported the Autobots survival to Megatron himself. As the fighting grew more intense, several Autobots were captured by the Decepticons; formerly having viewed everything as "just business", Gould urged Soundwave to execute them all for making things personal. Fortunately, the intervention of [[Brains]] and [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] saved most of the Autobots, and in the renewed fighting that followed, the control [[pillar]] for Sentinel's space bridge was shot from its perch and knocked offline.

[[File:DOTM Dylan's death.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67|''SAM USED ELECTRICAL SHOCK! IT WAS SUPER-EFFECTIVE!'']]

With the Decepticon ships firing on [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], the Autobots battling Sentinel, and the Wreckers handling all ground-bound Decepticons, despite Sentinel's orders, the task fell to Gould to reactivate the Control Pillar. Gould made his way to the pillar but Sam tried to interfere, but Gould pointed Sam's own gun at him. Sam tried to plead with Dylan to not go through with the Decepticons, but Gould disagreed, stating that now there was no turning back from the future he had helped prepare for himself for years. However a piece of newspaper was caught on his face, providing a distraction and Gould was forced to fight off Sam to reactivate the pillar. Gould mockingly asked Sam if he thought he was a hero compared to himself, who had saved all of Cybertron. Sam denied, stating he was just a messenger, and struck him with a rebar. Toppling backward into the reactivated pillar, Dylan was fatally electrocuted by its energies.

It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

In the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|novelization]] and [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]], Gould ordered the Decepticons to kill the Autobot Prisioners just because Bumblebee destroyed his apartment and is killed by being disintegrated when he collided with the control pillar while it was activated.

===IDW movie comics===
[[Gould|Dylan's father]] was a [[NASA]] accountant, who was approached by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] in the early 1970s to manipulate the NASA budget and make further [[moon (moon)|moon]] landings financially infeasible, thereby preventing humanity from discovering the wreck of the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' on the lunar surface. Soundwave provided the money Gould desired by tapping the stock market, and so the man went to work, ensuring that the [[1972]] landing would be the last. Years later, in [[1979]], believing matters on Earth to be secure for the time being, Soundwave called another meeting with Gould to announce that he would be leaving the planet for a time. Gould brought Dylan to this meeting, as he intended for his son to take over his position as Decepticon liaison in the future. Soundwave was impressed with the child's tenacity, and could see in him greater desires than the base riches sought by his father.

Dylan had inherited his father's responsibilities when Soundwave return to Earth in [[2007]], now running the family company and continuing to maintain the veil of secrecy around the moon, with the help of Soundwave's numerous other human pawns. Summoning Gould upon his return, Soundwave could see that his desires had blossomed: not content purely with money as his father had been, Gould wanted ''power''. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

Gould poached administrative assistant [[Carly Spencer]] from the British Embassy some time after 2009 to serve as his personal assistant. According to her, fighting robots was kids' stuff compared to working for him. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

'''Jerry Wang''' used to work for [[NASA]] but became an employee at [[Accuretta Systems]]. He is a complete nutjob.

Jerry was an employee at NASA who was blackmailed by [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] into becoming a Decepticon agent and doing their dirty work. One of these deeds included sabotaging satellites to conceal the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] on the dark side of the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. He quit NASA and went to work at Accuretta Systems to try and escape, but was eventually found again by Laserbeak. Jerry began to lose his sanity and behave strangely, getting up in other employee's faces (even the bosses) and generally disrupting the office environment.

[[File:DOTM-JerryWangSam.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.6|I'm Chang, and I cannot die, I cannot die, I cannot— oops.]]
One day, a new employee named [[Sam Witwicky]] came in. Jerry immediately recognized him from his appearance in photos from [[Egypt]], and began to follow him until they were alone in the elevator, where he attacked Sam, and forced him into a tight spot. He then pulled out NASA documents on [[Apollo 11]]'s mission to the Moon, as well as documents of various NASA employees, in an attempt to clue Sam in on a conspiracy concerning the lunar race and the Decepticons.

Some time later, Jerry was being tortured by an evil and suspicious Decepticon computer, when Sam passed by and tried to talk to Wang about the paper documents he gave him. As Jerry was being heavily monitored, he drove Sam away. Realizing that Jerry was giving away secrets, Laserbeak transformed in front of him and tormented him. Despite begging Laserbeak to spare him, Laserbeak informed Jerry of his outlived usefulness, and that he was to be terminated. Jerry had other ideas, however, and pulled two pistols out at Laserbeak. Despite this tactic of intimidation, he was no match for the predatory bird-bot, who knocked him back into his chair and shoved him through one of the building's many glass windows, sending him plummeting to his splattery [[death]].

His actions prior to this weren't in vain however, as the documents he gave to Sam later provided some insight on what the Decepticons were up to. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

Seeking to exploit Carly's boyfriend [[Sam Witwicky]]'s connection to the [[Autobot]]s for the [[Decepticon]]s' own evil ends, Dylan arranged a job interview for him at [[Accuretta Systems]], on whose board of directors he had a seat. Visiting Carly at work to tell her the good news, Sam took an immediate dislike to the smarmy Gould and the closeness he and Carly displayed, feeling further emasculated when he discovered Dylan had set up the interview for him. Gould even gave Carly a [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG]], and invited the young couple to a party at his estate, but Sam refused to go as he had begun to unravel the lunar conspiracy, though he had no idea Dylan was at the heart of it.

Soon after, when the recently revived Autobot leader [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] revealed his treachery and joined with the Decepticons in using his [[space bridge]] to attack [[Washington, D.C.]], Sam raced to Gould's estate to get Carly to safety. There, Dylan finally showed his true colors: The "[[Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes]]" was revealed to be a disguised Soundwave, who held Carly hostage while Gould attached a [[Watch-bot|Decepticon watch]] to Sam's arm, instructing him to learn all he could about the Autobots' plans to fight back. With Carly being Dylan's hostage and his nervous system tortured by the watch, Sam was forced to comply. But before leaving, he vowed to kill Gould. Sam learned that the Autobots were planning to leave Earth with no retaliation due to being exiled at the demands of Sentinel Prime. Content with this information, Dylan gave the signal to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who blew the Autobots' [[Xantium (DOTM)|spacecraft]] out of the sky, apparently destroying them. Gould then declared "We all work for the Decepticons now".

As the Decepticons set about razing [[Chicago]], turning the city into a fortress, Gould took Carly to his penthouse in [[Trump Tower]] and explained that the evil robots were planning to teleport [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] into the solar system, and put humanity to work rebuilding the planet: he had secured his and Carly's freedom by selling out his own race. When he tried to watch he was ordered to leave by Megatron ("I hate that guy, he's such a dick"). Dylan was visibly disturbed by the Decepticons' invasion and massacre of Chicago, but when questioned by Carly, all the traitor had to say was that everything was alright, as long as he was safe.

Chicago soon became a battleground, however, when the Autobots' seeming deaths were revealed as a deception, and they helped Sam break into Gould's penthouse. Sam had Dylan at gunpoint, but [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] entered the room, grabbed Sam and threw him off the side, but he was saved by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s [[Orbital Assault Carrier|commandeered fighter]] and saved Carly. Gould later reported the Autobots survival to Megatron himself. As the fighting grew more intense, several Autobots were captured by the Decepticons; formerly having viewed everything as "just business", Dylan urged Soundwave to execute them all for making things personal. Fortunately, the intervention of [[Brains]] and [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] saved most of the Autobots, and in the renewed fighting that followed, the control [[pillar]] for Sentinel's space bridge was shot from its perch and knocked offline.

With the Decepticon ships firing on [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], the Autobots battling Sentinel, and the Wreckers handling all ground-bound Decepticons, despite Sentinel's orders, the task fell to Gould to reactivate the Control Pillar. Gould made his way to the pillar but Sam tried to interfere, but Gould pointed Sam's own gun at him. Sam tried to plead with Dylan to not go through with the Decepticons, but Gould disagreed, stating that now there was no turning back from the future he had helped prepare for himself for years. However a piece of newspaper was caught on his face, providing a distraction and Dylan was forced to fight off Sam to reactivate the pillar. Gould mockingly asked Sam if he thought he was a hero compared to himself, who had saved all of Cybertron. Sam denied, stating he was just a messenger, and struck him with a rebar. Toppling backward into the reactivated pillar, Dylan was fatally electrocuted by its energies.

It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{note|Dylan Gould’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|''Dark of the Moon'' novel]]; the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel|junior novel]]; the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|IDW comic adaptation]]; and the ''[[Movie Trilogy]]'' comics. In the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|novelization]] and [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]], Gould ordered the Decepticons to kill the Autobot Prisioners just because Bumblebee destroyed his apartment and is killed by being disintegrated when he collided with the control pillar while it was activated. In the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel|junior novelization]], his death is not noted.}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[Gould|Dylan's father]] was a [[NASA]] accountant, who was approached by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] in the early 1970s to manipulate the NASA budget and make further [[moon (moon)|moon]] landings financially infeasible, thereby preventing humanity from discovering the wreck of the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' on the lunar surface. Soundwave provided the money Gould desired by tapping the stock market, and so the man went to work, ensuring that the [[1972]] landing would be the last. Years later, in [[1979]], believing matters on Earth to be secure for the time being, Soundwave called another meeting with Gould to announce that he would be leaving the planet for a time. Gould brought Dylan to this meeting, as he intended for his son to take over his position as Decepticon liaison in the future. Soundwave was impressed with the child's tenacity, and could see in him greater desires than the base riches sought by his father.

Dylan had inherited his father's responsibilities when Soundwave return to Earth in [[2007]], now running the family company and continuing to maintain the veil of secrecy around the moon, with the help of Soundwave's numerous other human pawns. Summoning Gould upon his return, Soundwave could see that his desires had blossomed: not content purely with money as his father had been, Gould wanted ''power''. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

Gould poached administrative assistant [[Carly Spencer]] from the British Embassy some time after 2009 to serve as his personal assistant. According to her, fighting robots was kids' stuff compared to working for him. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}
