{{faction|decepticon}}
{{disambig2|the RID 2015 Decepticon|similarly named characters|Overbite (disambiguation)}}
:''Underbite, Devourer of Nuon City, is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:Underbite.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|Say hello to goodbye, Dr. Venture!]]
Two things rule the thought processes of '''Underbite''': eating and bragging. This Decepticon [[Chompazoid]] is extraordinarily proud of his strength, which increases as he consumes more metal. To him, everything is a workout, all in the goal of pumping up and bulking out. He's even gone so far as to name his forearms "Thundercruncher" (right) and "Boltsmasher" (left). He kisses them.

He claims to have devoured the entirety of [[Nuon City]], a feat about which he brags endlessly. So proud is he that he reacts quite violently to anyone ''not'' aware of his reputation.

Physically, he has few equals... provided he's got a steady diet of metal to masticate. On mainly-organic worlds like [[Earth]], however, his rampages can drain him quickly, leaving him with little to juice up on. So strong is his need to feed that he'll ignore threats in favor of chasing down a pick-me-up.

{{bigquote|I know what you're thinking. Is that tall, dark, and handsome really Underbite, devourer of Nuon City?|Underbite|"[[Pilot (Part 1)]]"}}

==Fiction==
===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Liam O'Brien]] (English), [[Kōsuke Gotō]] (Japanese)|[[Su Xin]] (Chinese), [[Tamás Bognár]] (Hungarian), [[Silvio Pandolfi]] (Italian), [[Tilo Schmitz]] (German), [[Dafnis Fernández]] (Latin American-Spanish), [[Ridha Hassani]] (Arabic), [[Jean-Michel Vovk]] (French, first voice), [[Martin Spinhayer]] (French, second voice)}}
[[File:PilotPart2 Underbite Grimlock square off.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"We need more teeth."]]

Underbite was apparently arrested for destroying Nuon City, and was incarcerated aboard the prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]''. After it crashed on [[Earth]], he was freed from his [[stasis pod]] by the impact, and set off in search of food. He eventually encountered [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], and after a brief chase he tangled with the rest of [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s team. After spying a nearby scrapyard through the trees, he headed off to devour that instead. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} Despite tussling with [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]], Underbite began chowing down on the contents of the scrapyard, only to spot a bigger prize—nearby [[Crown City]]. Unfortunately, the organic matter he encountered along the way was unsuitable for his consumption, and he slowly weakened. Using [[Billy the Breakfast Beaver|metallic bait]], the Autobots managed to lure him to the edge of a quarry. Underbite managed to outfight them and prepared to munch [[Denny Clay]]'s pickup truck. Fortunately, a ghostly [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] intervened and helped defeat the Decepticon. The Autobots later placed the incapacitated Underbite back in his stasis pod. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 2)}}

[[File:Sideways Underbite vehicle mode.jpg|right|250px|thumb|So, would this fall under the term "muscle car"?]]

Underbite's stasis pod was stolen by Grimlock while the Dinobot was under the control of [[Minitron]]. Although the other Autobots were able to free Grimlock from the [[cyber-tick]]'s influence, [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], who had masterminded the heist in the first place, made off with the stasis pod and reactivated Underbite. {{storylink|True Colors}}

Now a member of Steeljaw's [[Steeljaw's Pack|pack]], Underbite was hanging out at the Decepticon hideout with [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] when Steeljaw arrived with newcomer [[Clampdown (RID)|Clampdown]]. After Clampdown fled due to [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]] threatening him, the other Decepticons tracked him to a garbage tip where they encountered the Autobots. Underbite fought with Grimlock, however this time the Autobot managed to take him out- first by force-feeding him plastic and then cannonballing him. Steeljaw later freed the gang, and they escaped back to their hideout. {{storylink|Sideways (episode)|Sideways}}

[[File:Lockout-underbiteflexes.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Underbite skips leg day.]]

Underbite took part in an attempt to free the prisoners in the Autobots' scrapyard. After Steeljaw trapped the Autobots outside using subsonics, Underbite was given the task of guarding the prisoners, only for them to escape while he was eying up some nearby scrap as potential food. Once the Autobots regained access to the scrapyard, Underbite was swiftly taken down by [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] and later fled back to base with the rest of Steeljaw's gang. {{storylink|Lockout}}

[[File:BattlegroundsPart2-Underbitepowersup.jpg|thumb|right|250px|I eat heavy metal and gargle premium gas. I drink heavy water and nitro-demitasse.]]

Out collecting parts for the device Steeljaw's [[The Fallen|mysterious friend]] wanted them to build, Underbite and Thunderhoof happened across Sideswipe and Strongarm, promptly capturing the pair with Fracture's help. When [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] flew over the steel mill hideout, Underbite was able to bring her down with a precisely thrown beam, adding her to their collection of hostages. The Decepticons were soon busy at work constructing the gateway Steeljaw's ally required, however when Bumbblebee and Drift arrived, Steeljaw assigned Underbite and Thunderhoof to intercept them. Underbite swiftly dealt with Drift, allowing Megatronus to arrive on Earth. He and the other Decepticons were rendered unconscious when [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] tried to interfere with the arrival. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}} They came around in time to prevent the Autobots getting hold of Megatronus's staff, however when Megatronus turned on Steeljaw, Underbite, Thunderhoof and Clampdown attempted to flee. They ran straight into Team Bee, and Underbite was taken out when Bumblebee cannonballed into him. The defeated Decepticons were later stored away in stasis pods. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}}

Underbite's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by Optimus Prime, Windblade and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

[[File:PrepareForDeparture Underbite guarding.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
When the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] released Steeljaw from prison to keep Bumblebee and his team occupied while they made plans to summon [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}} Underbite was also released with the promise of a full pardon should the Pack succeed in terminating the Bee Team. They returned to Earth where they mounted an assault on Denny's scrapyard that forced the Autobots out of their home. Switching tack, they headed to the [[Crown City Dam]] where they sabotaged it to draw the Autobots out, resulting in a fight which ended with the Decepticons falling into the river. {{storylink|Exiles}} Underbite and the other member of the Pack split up to search for members of the Bee Team. {{storylink|Breathing Room}} Gaining new orders from [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], the Pack were sent to a waste disposal site to dig up spent nuclear fuel, though Underbite played guard dog while the others excavated. When the Autobots inevitably turned up, Underbite battled an oddly-reluctant Grimlock until Clampdown hit paydirt and the Decepticons made off with their prize. The Pack stopped off in a warehouse so [[Quillfire (RID)|Quillfire]] could dispute the nuclear fuel towing arrangements, resulting in the Autobots catching up with them. During the fight which ensued, Underbite was stomping the Autobots when Sideswipe threw Grimlock at him. The Decepticons were again forced to retreat. {{storylink|Prepare for Departure}}

[[File:PrisonerPrinciples Underbite chomp.jpg|thumb|right|250px|]]
Steeljaw next set the Pack's sights on breaking into a nuclear plant, having Underbite and the others scan new color schemes to use as disguises. They managed to gain entry into the plant and started looting fuel rods until the Autobots again crashed their operation. Underbite did his best to keep Bumblebee busy, but was knocked out by his opponent. After Steeljaw set the plant to meltdown, Bumblebee and Strongarm had to carry Underbite's unconscious body clear. He and the other captured Pack members were temporarily housed in makeshift cells in the Autobot's cave. {{storylink|Prisoner Principles}} The Pack members were returned to the scrapyard when the Autobots took it back, however Underbite promptly escaped while Grimlock was trying to secure him in a stasis pod. During the ensuing battle, Underbite ate the field generator out of the [[GroundBridge]], which resulted in him randomly teleporting to different locations as the Bee Team struggled to keep up with him. Fixit was eventually able to GroundBridge him back to the scrapyard and nullify the field generator, after which Denny and [[Russell Clay|Russell]] tricked him back into a stasis pod. {{storylink|Something He Ate}}

After being reprimanded by Steeljaw, Underbite and Thunderhoof went for a stroll down to the Crown City docks, where they stumbled on [[Slink]]'s pet food hoarding operation. Underbite fought her lackeys [[Sneak]] and [[Snitch (RID)|Snitch]] until the Autobots arrived, at which point he battled Grimlock, until the Dinobot defeated him with Bumblebee's help. When Thunderhoof brought the warehouse down, Underbite departed with all haste. {{storylink|Sideswipe Versus Thunderhoof}}

Following the defeat of Megatronus, Underbite was among the Decepticons who were freed by Steeljaw and set to work mining [[energon]] for their new empire, though he hated being underground as people kept sneaking up on him. When Team Bee turned up, Underbite tackled Grimlock. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 6|Robots in Disguise #6}}

*'''Underbite''' (One Step Changers, 2015)
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 21|3-21]]-2015'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''TAV-06'''

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#One-Step Changers|One Step Changer]]s, Underbite changes from a Cybertronian four-wheeled tank-like car-thing into a Chompazoid. His spring-loaded transformation to each mode is triggered by pressing his back legs together. The back of his beast-head has a spring-loaded lever that activates his bitey-jaw gimmick.

: He is adorable.

: Like all ''Robots in Disguise'' toys, he has a bordered [[insignia]] on the top of his head/vehicle roof. However, it can't be scanned while he's still in-package, as it's behind the front-bubble instructions.

: The TakaraTomy release of Underbite features a brighter shade of his purple plastic, and a different scan-badge, which is compatible with the ''Transformers Chronicle'' app.

: Caution should be used with his transformation, as many early samples would lose the ability to lock into robo-[[beast mode]] with rigorous/repeated squeezing of the haunches (vehicle is the "default" state, beast mode relies on a tensed spring to stay locked in). This also shares to his Japanese release too. Also, Underbite cannot accommodate with [[Grimlock_(RID_2015)#Stomp_.26_Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]] due to him being quadrupedal.

:Unlike the Hasbro release, the toy features no scan-badges on the toy, instead it was printed on one small card, along with the other 3 badges.

:Available only in the Underbite Jetpack Takedown set, this set comes with both the Kreon and the buildable larger version of himself. As for his Kreon version, he reuses Knock Out's helmet, and a pair of Starscream's null ray-ish arm cannons. Also: his Kreon is bipedal rather than quadrupedal. The larger build version of Underbite features a firing missile on his back, which is (probably) strong enough to destroy the jetpack-equipped Optimus Prime flying around, equipped with a pair of pressure-firing missiles. Hope Underbite doesn't miss that shot.

:The set was first released in Taiwan and Singapore from January 2015, and later in Canada and the US (liquidated almost exclusively through TJ Maxx/Marshalls stores) from May 2015.

**''Number'': '''7/12'''

: Part of the initial assortment of ''[[Tiny Titans]]'' [[blindpacking|blindpacks]], this super-adorable version of Underbite is a very small, soft-plastic figure of him in his beast-robot mode.

: He includes a collectible card that includes a scan-badge for the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], which unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item.

**''McNumber'': '''5'''

: Part of the ''Robots in Disguise'' [[McDonald's]] Happy Meal promotion in April and May of 2015 (alongside ''[[My Little Pony]]''), McUnderbite is a non-transforming action figure of the beast-bot. Pushing down on his haunches sets him into a slow, steady rise until he suddenly jumps up, snapping at the air with his flappy-head.

: The bag he comes in and instruction sheet have a scan-badge that unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item. This badge is the same for all of the ''Robots in Disguise'' Happy Meal bags and instructions.

: Underbite can also be scanned into the McDonald's [[McPlay]] app, which recognizes the toy's silhouette. Doing so unlocks Underbite's version of the "[[Stasis Pod Battle]]" game.

{{-}}
===Radz===
*'''Underbite''' (Radz candy dispenser, 2015)
**''Blindbag code'': '''D'''

: The [[Radz]] candy-dispenser version of Underbite is a plastic spheroid with feet, spiky "hair", and a keychain fob. Pulling the hair back opens the toy's "mouth" and projects a little bowl-like tongue, dispensing a single colored sugar pellet. The hair can be taken off to refill the dispenser, and swapped with any other Radz.

:Underbite was available both on a card with a clear bubble, and in a blindpacked baggie, though the bag has a code number on the back under the "best by" date that tells you what's inside (only the last letter is the important part). Both versions come with a bag of sugar pellets, and a mini-poster with a collection checklist on the back.

===Transformers Adventure Gum===
*'''Fixit & Underbite''' (2016)

:Part of the new ''Adventure'' subline of the Transformers Gum series, this Underbite is a fully-transformable snap-fit kit based on his One-Step Changer toy, going from doggy-bot to Cybertronic land cruiser and back. He is molded in black and blue plastic, with customer-applied stickers for detailing.

:The kit is bundled with a similarly-buildable [[Fixit (RID)#Transformers Adventure Gum|Fixit]].

'''Hot Rod''' (aka '''Rodimus''' and '''Rodimus Prime''') is an Autobot who has been on Earth for a long time. Brother-in-arms to [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], as the two have fought in many battles together. Brave and patient, he has spent years undercover on earth after having been assigned to watch over [[Viviane Wembly]], who he has grown very fond of.<ref name="moviehotrod">[http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/08/04/hot-rod-coming-transformers-last-knight-321051]</ref><ref>[http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/12/06/transformers-last-knight-plot-roundup-329777]</ref> He is a close ally of [[Edmund Burton|Sir Edmund Burton]] and in addition to regular weapons, Hot Rod possesses a special weapon that can create temporary temporal bubbles in which time slows to a crawl. He also finds his inability to get rid of his hated French accent a source of constant frustration.

==Fiction==
===''The Last Knight'' film===
{{voiceactor|[[Omar Sy]] (English), [[Yōhei Tadano]] (Japanese)|[[Michel Elias]] (European French), [[Frédéric Desager]] (Canadian French), [[Pasquale Anselmo]] (Italian), [[José Antonio Macías]] (Latin American-Spanish), [[Rodrigo Oliveira]] (Portuguese)}}
[[File:TLKWW2Flashback.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Here is what I have that Shockwave doesn't: both of my arms, depth perception, and a pulse!]]
Hot Rod was an [[Autobot]] warrior who had been on [[Earth]] for some time. At some point after arriving on the planet, he somehow picked up a [[France|French]] accent that he did not know how to get rid of, something that caused him much frustration. Along with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], he joined the Allies in [[World War II]]; using their vehicle modes to infiltrate a Nazi convoy and attack an occupied Nazi command post. Their adventures in the war were documented and covered up by the [[Order of the Witwiccans]], who had covertly monitored Transformer activity on Earth for centuries.

[[File:TLK-CitroenHotRod.jpg|thumb|250px|Qu'est que c'est?]]

In the modern day, Hot Rod had become the primary confidant of the surviving Witwiccans, working closely with [[Edmund Burton]] and the father of [[University of Oxford]] professor [[Viviane Wembly]]. As Wembly was, in reality, the last living descendant of the ancient [[Merlin]] and thus the only one able to wield his Cybertronian staff, Hot Rod became her deep cover bodyguard, spending years disguised as her Citroen and coming to admire her. Following the disappearance of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the impending awakening of [[Unicron]], Burton tracked him down and told him the time to recruit Viviane to fulfill her destiny had come. The next day, as she prepared to leave for work, Hot Rod sprang into action, locking her in and racing through the London streets. When she broke his window in an attempt to escape, he broke cover, begging her to stop. With his true nature revealed, she mistook him for a [[Decepticon]] and grew more frantic in her escape, wondering aloud if he was "[[Soundwave (ROTF)|one of the]] [[Shockwave (Movie)|famous ones]]". He grew angrier as she continued to try and escape, and on the way, he scanned and upgraded into a new Lamborghini Centenario vehicle mode.

[[File:TLK-HotRodAndViviane.jpg|thumb|left|250px|That would be your mother.]]

He arrived with her at Burton's castle, mere seconds after the arrival of [[Cade Yeager]] and his old comrade Bumblebee. He transformed and attempted to calm the frantic Viviane, who he thought was being very difficult. After things had calmed down a bit, he formally introduced himself to Viviane, though she found understanding his accent very hard. He once again bemoaned his inability to get rid of the hated accent.

[[File:TLK-HotRodsWeapon.jpg|thumb|250px|Gentlemen.]]

When the [[Transformers Reaction Force|TRF]] and [[Secret Intelligence Service|MI6]] tracked them down and stormed the castle, Hot Rod volunteered to buy time to cover their escape, using his time bubble gun to slow down their pursuers while the group made their escape. The humans and Autobots raced to [[London]]'s {{w|Royal Navy Submarine Museum}} in search of a working water vehicle. When they found themselves pursued by the authorities on arrival, Hot Rod volunteered to lead them away so the others could continue the search for the Staff.

He later made his way to [[Stonehenge]] and joined with the other Autobots, humans, and [[Guardian Knight]]s. The returned [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] rallied them all to save Earth from [[Quintessa (TLK)|Quintessa]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s plan to drain [[Unicron]], who resided within the planet, of energy to restore the recently arrived [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. En-route to Cybertron, he and the other Autobots were not impressed by the intimidating knights. As the battle began, he rode an [[Orbital Assault Carrier]] as they took on the airborne Decepticons.

[[File:TLK-HotRodGun.jpg|thumb|left|250px|You have not seen the last of Le Quack.]]

He was eventually shot down by [[Infernocus]] but survived and joined Optimus's charge on the control chamber, congratulating [[Sqweeks]] on his destruction of the enemy gun emplacement. He was very happy to see Viviane had returned rather than flee with the TRF. As the battle raged in the unstable chamber, he used his time gun to freeze Megatron, saving [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]]'s life. Quintessa and Megatron were quickly defeated and his beloved Viviane retrieved the Staff. As the control center fell to Earth, he managed to save Viviane and Cade from falling to their deaths by freezing them with his gun, buying them just enough time to be grabbed and flown to safety by Optimus. He and the other Autobots managed to survive the crash of the control center and soon bid farewell to the humans as they left to return home to Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

*'''Bumblebee / Soundwave''' with '''Rodimus''' (Cyberverse 3-pack, 2011)
:''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' "Rodimus" is a redeco of the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Rodimus]], transforming into an orange sports car. On the United States market, he is only available as a [[Walmart]] exclusive, as the "Bonus" figure in a pack with [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeSoundwaveRodimus|Bumblebee]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys#Cyberverse|Soundwave]]. This three-pack was also available as an Asda exclusive in the United Kingdom, from Rossmann stores in Germany and from Auchan stores in Hungary and Italy. Of note is that the [[Multilingual packaging|European packaging]] does ''not'' market Rodimus as a "bonus figure" (presumably so stores can charge full price for three toys), and his window lacks the yellow edges highlighting him as a special feature, despite still being separated from Bumblebee and Soundwave, who share a common window like in the U.S. version. Despite this, Rodimus still doesn't get a mention on the back of the packaging, which only features a one-sentence "bio" about Bumblebee planning to bring down Soundwave in twelve different languages.

:All versions of the packaging also lack any logos that label the toys as [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] products.

**''Series'': '''2'''
**''Bag Code'': '''P'''
:Released in Series 2 of [[blindpacking|blindbagged]] [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]]'' "Autobot Hot Rod" is a small soft-plastic transformable figure based that changes from robot to luxury sports car 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.

:He shares the same transformation and engineering with [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Tiny Turbo Changers|Bumblebee]] and [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Tiny Turbo Changer|Barricade]]. This mold is also used to make [[Mirage (Movie)#Movie Edition|''Movie Edition'' Autobot Dino]].

*'''Bumblebee & Autobot Hot Rod''' (1-Step Turbo Changer 2-pack, 2017)
:''The Last Knight'' 1-Step Turbo Changer Autobot Hot Rod is a retool of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' One-Step Changer [[Lockdown (ROTF)#OneStepChangers|Lockdown]], transforming from vehicle to robot by pressing a button on his vehicle mode. His only articulation is the elbows, which can only pivot up and down. After transforming into robot mode, Hot Rod needs to transform back into vehicle in two steps: Push down the button again while clamping the vehicle parts together by hand to make it secure.

:Hot Rod is entirely cast in a reddish shade of gunmetal plastic despite stock renders showing him possessing over-saturated midnight blue plastic.

:Like most of his figures from ''The Last Knight'', 1-Step Hot Rod was released as part of the exclusive ''Autobots Unite'' subline imprint. This figure was only available in a 2-pack with a redeco of 1-Step Turbo Changer [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#AutobotsUnite2Pack|Bumblebee]]. For the United States, the 2-pack was announced to be excusive to [[Walmart]], but was ultimately only available via Walmart's online store, and was found at discounter Ross around the same time. Internationally, the 2-pack was also available via other exclusive venues, namely Asda in the United Kingdom; Prisma in Finland; Walmart in Mexico; Bart Smit and Intertoys (owned by the same parent company) in the Netherlands; Intertoys in Germany; and ICA Hemma in Sweden.

:The One-Step Hot Rod toy is later re-released individually by TakaraTomy, under the ''Turbo Change Series'' lineup. The pins from the original Lockdown mold is most likely to be restored for for activating the second Battle Command Optimus Prime toy's gimmicks.

*'''Autobot Hot Rod''' (Flip & Change, 2017)
:''The Last Knight'' Flip & Change Hot Rod is a retool of ''Age of Extinction'' Flip & Change [[Lockdown (ROTF)#Robots in Disguise (2014)|Lockdown]] with a new head. He is a simplified toy that can auto-transforms from an unlicensed approximation of a Lamborghini Aventador rather than a Lamborghini Centenario LP770-4 into a Voyager-sized robot by pulling out the arms first, and then flip the figure over itself. He features articulation on his arms and features 5mm compatible hands. As part of the "Autobots Unite" [[subline imprint]], he was exclusively available at [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada, although he was apparently only ever available from Walmart's online store in Canada. In the United Kingdom, he was exclusive to Asda stores.

:Released as part of Walmart's ''Autobots Unite'' subline, ''The Last Knight'' Legion Class Hot Rod transforms from a robot into a fictionalized Lamborghini Centenario with an added spoiler.
:[[File:TF-TLK-Legion-Class-Hot-Rod-package-comparison.jpg|left|upright=1.33|thumb|How annoying.]]

:Legion Hot Rod was released as part of the ''Autobots Unite'' [[subline imprint]] that was announced to be exclusive to Walmart in the United States. Like his Deluxe Class counterpart, Deluxe Hot Rod was only available via Walmart's online store, but never found in stores, which applies both to the United States and Canada. Other international exclusive venues include Asda in the United Kingdom; Prisma in Finland; Líder in Chile; and ICA Hemma in Sweden. In Hasbro's Asian markets such as China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, Hot Rod was available at general retail, still in ''Autobots Unite'' packaging. (If you're in Malaysia, there are literally 0% chances of finding this toy, unless you're buying a whole goddamn case by import) A general retail version in standard ''The Last Knight Premier Edition'' packaging was listed at [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and the public US Walmart website, complete with all-new stock photos, but ultimately never materialized.

:This is the closest to a realistically proportioned Hot Rod that is not repainted or retooled from another figure. It does, however, [[Retool#Shared engineering|have a very similar transformation]] to ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Sideswipe (RID)#Legion Class|Legion Class Sideswipe]].

:Unless you're transforming him properly, Hot Rod's painted crotch is prone to chipping if you press him down while rolling on flat surfaces.

**''Takara ID number'': '''TLK-20'''

:''The Last Knight'' Deluxe Class Hot Rod is an ''extensive'' retool of ''Age of Extinction'' Deluxe Class [[Lockdown (ROTF)#Generations|Lockdown]], transforming into a Lamborghini Centenario. While almost the entire figure has been remolded, the lower legs and feet as well as some internal structuring parts remain unchanged. Along with added transformation steps, Hot Rod's new tooling makes him ''substantially'' taller than the original mold taking it from being one of the shorter Deluxe molds to being one of the tallest Deluxes in the line.
:[[File:TF-TLK-Deluxe-Hot-Rod-packaging-variants.jpg|left|upright=1.33|thumb|"And you'd better stay close to me, little lady."]]
:His Walmart exclusive (''and'' the Japanese release's) box art is strange in that it features a CG render of Hot Rod and Bumblebee standing side-by-side, however Bumblebee is in the forefront and is far more prominent. Unlike most modern instruction pamphlets, Hot Rod's instructions are printed in full color. (The TakaraTomy instructions, on the other hand, opts the usual monochrome) Additionally, he is thus far the only ''Premier Edition'' Deluxe Class figure to have a full-length bio on his box. As for the regular release, he features the same default ''Premier Edition'' style box that most figures use, omitting the bio.

:Uncommon for Deluxe Class toys, the figure does ''not'' include any weapons or accessories. However, grey prototypes displayed at [[HasCon 2017]] shows he originally came with ''Age of Extinction'' Deluxe Class Lockdown's cannon, but with additional parts to add a peg on the side of the cannon and to fill in the gap for the Lockdown's head.

:Deluxe Hot Rod was released as part of the ''Autobots Unite'' subline imprint that was announced to be exclusive to Walmart in the United States. Like his Legion Class counterpart, Deluxe Hot Rod was only available via Walmart's online store, but never found in stores, although he later appeared at Ross and Ollie's stores in mid-2018. In Canada, where he was also exclusive to Walmart, he ''did'' eventually see a retail release after being available from Walmart's online store for several months. Other international exclusive venues include Asda in the United Kingdom; Otto Simon and its subsidiary Top1Toys in the Netherlands; Bodega Aurrera in Mexico; Prisma in Finland; Dráčik in Slovakia and the Czech Republic; and ICA Hemma in Sweden. In Hasbro's Asian markets such as Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong, Hot Rod was available at general retail, still in ''Autobots Unite'' packaging. A general retail version in standard ''The Last Knight Premier Edition'' packaging was listed in Toys"R"Us's systems and later also at [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and the public US [[Target]] and Walmart websites, complete with all-new stock photos. Thus far, the figure has only been available in this packaging in mainland China and the Philippines.

===Bumblebee===
[[File:EnergonIgnitersSpeedHotRod.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|You know things are bad for good ol' Rod when the best he gets even in the smallest size class is a remake of an 11-year old figure.]]
*'''Autobot Hot Rod''' (Speed Series, 2018)
:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' Energon Igniters line, Speed Series Hot Rod transforms from robot to '80s muscle car, with engineering highly reminiscent of the original 2007 [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Legends Class toys|Legends Class Barricade]] toy. Like other Speed figures, he can use the Cores of larger Energon Igniters figures as a small towable trailer. and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly.

:Like Camaro Bumblebee and his rival Barricade, Hot Rod also features pinned wheels instead of the simple-assembly ones. As the port is 5mm compatible, Hot Rod can mount with other smaller weapons with the same post size, making him an efficient weapon-towing vehicle. Due to the placement of the core's hole, Hot Rod had his port sticking out from his left knee, which makes it glaring in robot mode, but more convincing as a "jet booster" in vehicle mode. Hot Rod's car roof has a special tab-hole, which is intended to be used for Barricade's light-bar.

:This mold was retooled from [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Energon Igniters|Energon Igniters Speed Barricade]].

:Unlike the Power Series figure below, Speed Series Hot Rod had a rather spotty distribution in Malaysia: While he was first available (in ''very'' limited numbers) in some stores like Parkson & Isetan, Hot Rod is the only Speed Series figure that never saw release in many [[Toys"R"Us]] stores after the lineup hit shelves on December 2018, making it an ''extremely'' rare figure. If you're lucky enough, you still can find him somewhere (albeit in VERY limited quantities) in late 2019.

*'''Autobot Hot Rod''' (Power Series, 2018)
:Standing at approximately five inches, ''Bumblebee'' Power Hot Rod transforms into a black and red muscle car loosely based on the first-generation Chevrolet Camaro. As with other Power Series figures, he can interact with the Cores of larger Energon Igniters toys.

:The figure shares tooling with the concurrently released [[Dropkick (Movie)#Bumblebee|Energon Igniters Power Dropkick]] and was later retooled into [[Shatter#Energon Igniters|Shatter]].

**''Accessories'': Blaster, "WWII Flashback" backdrop

:''[[Studio Series]]'' WWII Hot Rod is a retool of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS26|WWII Bumblebee]], transforming into a {{W|Humber Light Reconnaissance Car}} rather than a Steyr-Daimler-Puch 2000 truck. Despite this, some of his robot body parts are based on the on-screen vehicle kibble. He also comes with a blaster that doubles as a vehicle mode artillery barrel. Due to the lack of the multiple-barreled handgun from the original mold, Hot Rod's turret swivel is left bare.

:Like WWII Bumblebee, Hot Rod also features a psuedo-[[Automorph Technology|Automorph gimmick]]: His front chest panel can be pushed up and down, retracting/extending his head as long it faces upwards. Also, due to his transformation scheme, Hot Rod is a [[shellformer]], with the majority of the vehicle shells hanging on his rear like a backpack. Speaking of vehicle shells, the "backpack" also blocks the tab hole for display stands unless it's slightly lifted up. His package artwork depicts him with two identical weapons despite the toy only coming with one.

:Like the rest of the figures in the same wave, Hot Rod first saw release in some Toys"R"Us shops in Malaysia.

==Notes==
[[File:JoshNizzi-WWIIHotRod.jpg|thumb|upright=1|''Voila''! Dr. Le Quack at your service. I go in, steal all their valuables and they won't remember.]]
*Concept art for "Hot Rod" appeared in the "Transformers 3" section of [[Massive Black Volume 2]], along with various other designs.<ref>http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/flipbook/mb_2/index.php</ref>
*Early ''The Last Knight'' concept designs for Hot Rod were labeled under the working name "Side Kick".
*''Dark of the Moon'' Rodimus was developed independently of Hot Rod, but shares the same article for simplicity and because they are both based off [[Hot Rod (G1)|Generation 1 Hot Rod]].
*In the WWII flashback of ''The Last Knight'', Hot Rod is shown to transform into a Steyr truck, but his robot-mode kibble is from an {{w|M8 Greyhound|M8 armored car}}. Strangely, unlike the case with Bumblebee, this does ''not'' appear to be a consequence of using [[Josh Nizzi]]'s original concept art (at right), which depicts Hot Rod using distinctive vehicle parts from an {{w|M4 Sherman|M4 Sherman tank}}.
*In various internation dubs of ''The Last Knight'', Hot Rod is given a different accent in each one.
**In the European French dub, Hot Rod's accent is Italian.
**In the Canadian French dub, Hot Rod's accent is French-from-France.

:''Ratchet is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:PrimeRatchet.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Pour one out for our hopes and dreams of getting Jeffrey Combs versus [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lance Henriksen]].]]

The [[Autobot]]s' medical officer, '''Ratchet''' has a dry wit, often giving his wounded comrades a hard time for taking hits he somehow avoids. With the Energon supplies becoming less and less, he works to find new ways to make do, and he'd ''really'' prefer if the Autobots didn't risk injury (or worse) to protect [[human]]s. He'd also prefer the humans weren't brought back to [[Autobot Outpost Omega One]] but since ''he'' is unfamiliar with human tech, he needs [[Raf Esquivel]] to help him out. However, for all his views on humans, deep down Ratchet ''admires'' what the tiny fleshies bring to the fight. Maybe he'll even warm up to them.

[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s best friend, and ''de facto'' second-in-command, you'd be hard-pressed to find another Autobot who loves his leader as much as he does. Yet this is not to say Ratchet has blind faith in him; Ratchet resents Optimus' lack of action over the years regarding ending the war and many missed chances to kill [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]. He's as flawed as any normal being would be, and a huge vice is his Cybertronian pride. At least once, it's nearly cost him the life of a friend. Furthermore, his grief for his destroyed [[Cybertron (planet)|home world]] is what drives him. He didn't take the loss of Cybertron very well, and would do almost anything to get it back some day.

He works with the [[Mini-Con]] [[R.A.]], and has recently struck up a partnership with the taciturn [[Undertone]]. He is also [[Medix (RB)|Medix's]] uncle.

==Fiction==
===''The Covenant of Primus''===
Ratchet emerged from the [[Well of All Sparks]] before the [[Age of Wrath]]. In his youth, Ratchet left his primitive village behind, and embarked on a pilgrimage to the newly-founded city of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. There, he applied as a student to Iacon's medical units, and learned medical science from the then-current chief of surgery [[Remedy (COP)|Remedy]]. Over time, Ratchet slowly climbed the ranks, and eventually became a junior medic in one of Iacon's many medical clinics.

One day, Ratchet was interrupted from his studies by the arrival of [[Coldwelder]], a working-class [[Energon]] miner who claimed to have been abducted and experimented on by [[Quintesson|aliens]]. Ratchet was skeptical of his claims, but ordered his intern [[Crankhandle]] to help run a diagnostic on the frightened victim. While examining his patient with his colleague [[Cogwheel]], Ratchet discovered a probe of unknown origin had indeed been planted in Coldwelder's cranium. Ratchet was more than happy to let Cogwheel deal with the fallout of this strange discovery but felt guilty afterwords for passing the matter off to her to deal with.

Much later, the outbreak of the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Ratchet chose to join the Autobots under Optimus Prime. After the Autobot scout [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] was grievously wounded by Megatron, Ratchet attempted to patch up Bumblebee. Although the medic was able to repair Bumblebee's leg, he was unable to save his voice box, rendering Bumblebee mute.

After the great exodus from Cybertron, Ratchet was one of the handful of Autobots who travelled to [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus}}

===Aligned novels===
Ratchet made his name during the [[Praxus|Praxian]] stalemate. He and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] fought in a few battles together, during which he taught the younger Autobot how to apply first aid. He repaired his throat after [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] destroyed it in revenge for ejecting the [[AllSpark]] into space, enabling Bumblebee to speak from time to time.

After Megatron invaded [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and took the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], Ratchet welded [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]]'s face and stabilized [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]]'s condition. When [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] asked Ratchet if Omega was ready to fight again, the offended medic responded that if Optimus wanted Omega to fight after the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] blew him out of the sky, [[Dark Energon]]-infused gladiators attacked him and Megatron tore out the Chamber out of his chest, then he wanted another surgeon. Optimus knew he had to apologize but was too preoccupied with rescuing [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]].

When the Autobots left Cybertron on the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'', Ratchet informed Optimus and [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] that Omega was repaired and ready to distract [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

Onboard the ''Ark'', Ratchet figured out that the hologram projected by the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] was a star map, and pointed out the "you are here" symbol. He then wondered why it was in the Matrix in the first place, thus getting into a minor skirmish with [[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]] about whether or not the Matrix was sentient/magical. When the Autobots figured out where exactly they were, Ratchet marvelled at the fact that anyone came that far.

Ratchet was on the second landing party to [[Velocitron]] with "[[Makeshift (Prime)|Hound]]", [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe,]] and [[Prowl (WFC)|Prowl]]. He commented that a Velocitronian's only limit to racing a million times was how often they could be put back together. He "answered" Optimus' question about whether the Velocitronians would surrender their identity to survivve by saying it was a gloomy question. He was participant in meetings with Optimus, [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], and [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]], and later Hound. He was also working on repairing the [[Space bridge]] near Velocitron, and acting as Bumblebee's translator.

Ratchet was the first to leap into action and ask what happened when 777 sabotaged the ''Ark'', and the engines exploded. But they got it repaired, and left Velocitron. Ratchet wanted to just hurry up and go through the Space Bridge, since he didn't fix it for nothing. When they went through, they were at [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]]. Ratchet commented that another Space Bridge in the area hadn't been used since before its records began. But it was working. Apparently, he never would have guessed that Bots built the Space Bridge. He, not unlike [[Perceptor (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Perceptor]], suggested that they make additional repairs on the planet.

Ratchet was on the first landing team to Junkion, with Optimus, Hound, and Ironhide. They all died. Or at least, they would have, if Optimus hadn't shown off the Matrix to the Junkions who were scavenging them, starting with Ratchet. He was the one who figured out that [[Wreck-Gar (Prime)|Wreck-Gar]] wanted to know what the Matrix was. He noticed that Hound was gone. Hmm... but he was distracted when he had to tell a random Junkion that it couldn't have his leg.

Optimus noted to himself that even though Ratchet had [[Corrostop]], he didn't want an outbreak of [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust.]]

Ratchet correctly assumed that Wreck-Gar thought Optimus was making up the stuff about the Matrix and the AllSpark so that he'd feel bad and help them.

Once more, when 777's second bomb exploded, Ratchet was the first to give a verbal reaction. He scanned for [[Spark]]s on the Ark, but had too much interference to get an accurate reading. The best he could come up with was "Lots of survivors." He, Jazz, [[Clocker (Prime)|Clocker]], and [[Mainspring]] were the damage assessment team. He and Ironhide were also put in charge for when Optimus went to the tomb of [[Solus Prime]]. Before that, though, he examined Optimus after the Matrix told him to jump into a furnace (seriously).

He analyzed the body of the [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]] named [[Shearbolt]] to determine that he died before Prowl talked to him, leading to the realization that their traitor was a [[Shifter]]. He then had the unpleasant task of explaining to Wreck-Gar that a Shifter was responsible.

Ratchet told Optimus about the distress signal from [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] about how Velocitron was now at full-out war.

When the Decepticons arrived on Junkion, Ratchet helped his colleagues give Optimus a status report. But that was overshadowed by the [[Blades of Time]] all coming together. Ratchet and Optimus simultaneously realized that it was a gateway. He escaped what was left of Junkion with the rest of the Autobots on the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

Ratchet was one of Optimus Prime's senior advisors on the Ark when the Matrix led them to [[Aquatron]]. Although the planet seemed like a godsend, Optimus confided in his old friend and physician that he felt adrift from the Matrix, a deep disconnect down to his spark that told him something was wrong with him or the Matrix. Ratchet joined the main Autobot force when it touched down on the planet, making contact with the [[Inquirata (Prime)|Curator]] and his Aquatronians. When Optimus experienced an unexplained seizure, the Autobots were forced to bring him to Doctor [[Xeros]] at an Aquatronian medical facility. Although Ratchet monitored the doctor's treatment, he failed to recognize the deep scans their hosts were performing on the Prime and his Matrix.

The Curator was revealed as a [[Quintesson]] with a grudge millions of years old against the Cybertronians, and Ratchet was among the Autobots who were captured and forced to face trial on ridiculous trumped up charges. The Autobots and Decepticons escaped during the trial and met up with their comrades aboard the Ark and Nemesis to fend off the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] hordes and ultimately escape the planet. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
In [[Uniend 610.23 Zeta]], {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime}} Ratchet was present for a meeting amongst [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s most trusted lieutenants about [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]]'s plan to launch the [[AllSpark]] into space to keep it from [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], and then took part in the Battle at [[Tyger Pax]]. {{storylink|Bumblebee at Tyger Pax}}

Ratchet served during the war for Cybertron, where he "proved [his] mettle". {{storylink|Triage (episode)|Triage}} After Bumblebee was captured at [[Tyger Pax]], Ratchet was the field medic who put him back together, but was unable to repair his voice box. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} At some point after Team Prime arrived on Earth, Ratchet modified [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]]'s jet, allowing him to fly without a flight suit. {{storylink|Grill (episode)|Grill}}

[[File:DarknessRising1-Ratchettragedy.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|You're drawn to his eccentric charm.]]
Ratchet was on patrol in a snowy region when news came in that [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] was battling a platoon of Decepticons solo. Ratchet and the other Autobots returned to base to [[GroundBridge]] to his location, but they were too late: Cliffjumper was nowhere to be found, and Ratchet confirmed that his lifesigns had ceased. It was Ratchet's belief that continuing to operate on Earth and aid humans would only result in more tragedy, and as such, it was no surprise that he vehemently objected to the Autobots becoming protectors for [[Jack Darby]], [[Miko Nakadai]] and [[Raf Esquivel]] soon after—though the kids' incessant questions didn't help their case, either. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} Ratchet's mood was not improved when [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] accidentally crushed an important piece of lab equipment, and things got even worse when he was instructed to stay at base and watch the children while the other Autobots investigated the reappearance of Cliffjumper's lifesign. He did, however, start to see the value in the kids' presence when Raf helped him in his continuing struggle to master the inferior human computer systems the Autobot base ran on. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}

[[File:Optimus Prime Ratchet Zombies Darkness Rising 4.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|He performs surgery with these. Carefully.]]

The other Autobots returned from their mission with the news that Cliffjumper had been revived by the Decepticons as a [[zombie]], and when [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] began feeling dizzy, Ratchet examined her and discovered a trace of the mysterious substance that had reanimated Cliffjumper. While examining it, Ratchet inadvertently dripped some on the equipment Bulkhead had broken, transforming it into a vicious little monster. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}} Optimus Prime helped him destroy it, and both realized that they were dealing with [[Dark Energon]]. Realizing that [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] planned to raise an undead army, Optimus took Ratchet to the site of an ancient Transformer battle on Earth, but they arrived too late to prevent Megatron from using Dark Energon to raise the buried corpses of the warriors as a legion of [[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcons]]. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}} Ratchet quickly deduced that the best way to stop them was dismemberment, and he and Prime managed to cut down the entire army despite the debilitating effects of the Dark Energon. Ratchet sustained a wounded arm in the battle, and Megatron was able to escape. Returning to base, Ratchet examined some plans that Miko had obtained from the Decepticons in his absence, and speculated that the villains were building a [[space bridge]] so they could use Dark Energon to raise a zombie army on Cybertron and bring them to Earth. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}} Given his injuries, Ratchet stayed behind at the base to man the GroundBridge, sending the other Autobots to the orbiting space bridge for battle, and the kids to the [[Giant Sized Array]] radio telescope in [[Texas]] to cut off the Decepticons' targeting systems. While the kids failed in their endeavour, they did succeed in obtaining schematics for the space bridge, which Ratchet used to determine a means of destroying it. He instructed Arcee's team on sabotaging the space bridge, and bridged everyone back to base before the inevitable explosion. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}

[[File:Masters&Students-Ratch-animator.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|I was busy pushing bodies around as you well know and what would a note say, Dan? "Cat dead, details later"?]]
Ratchet was initially dismayed to learn that the kids were working on their school science projects in the Autobot base, but changed his tune in short order and actually turned down combat duty to stay and help them. Unfortunately for the kids, he completely took over their projects, building a large volcano for Raf, a model of Cybertron for Miko, and an advanced engine for Jack. None of the projects went down well at school, much to Ratchet's disappointment. {{storylink|Masters & Students}}

[[File:Scrapheap-Ratchetinfected.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|My kingdom for a [[Charlie Fong]]!]]
Ratchet found another reason to be grateful to have the kids around when a [[Scraplet]] infestation in the base left the GroundBridge disabled, and Ratchet at the mercy of the metal-eating monsters. Jack used a fire extinguisher to freeze the creatures, saving Ratchet's life, but the medic remained too badly wounded to effect repairs to the GroundBridge, and had to entrust the job to the humans. They succeeded, and Ratchet was able to patch up himself and his fellow Autobots. {{storylink|Scrapheap (episode)|Scrapheap}} Problems with the GroundBridge lingered, however, and Ratchet continued working on it during a visit by Bulkhead's old buddy [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]], while trying to ignore the distractions caused by the other Autobots partying and Wheeljack and Bulkhead [[Cybertronian sport#Lobbing|Lobbing]]. The delays caused by Ratchet's repairs resulted in "Wheeljack" being exposed as [[Makeshift (Prime)|a Decepticon imposter]]. Unfortunately this also meant that when the real Wheeljack turned up, Ratchet was subjected to another round of partying. {{storylink|Con Job}}

Ratchet continued to play the role of tech support over the Autobots next few missions. He remained in the base to monitor the Autobot convoy as they transported the [[Dynamic Nuclear Generation System]] across country, alerting them to an incoming Decepticon attack and—under protest—working with Raf to GroundBride Miko and Jack onto a moving track so they could stop the forces of [[MECH]] from stealing the device. [[File:SickMind-RatchetOP.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|"I've heard that humans quite often wake up late with black eyes. They call the condition 'a hangover'."]]{{storylink|Convoy (episode)|Convoy}} The episode burnt Raf's laptop out, but Ratchet later helped fix it. {{storylink|Raf's Notes|Raf's Notes #5}} When the Decepticons stole an [[Energon Harvester]] from a human museum, Ratchet manufactured a replica to replace it, despite Bulkhead breaking his frame welder. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}

When Ratchet and Optimus Prime investigated a [[Autobot plague ship|crashed Autobot vessel]], they discovered that it was a plague ship carrying deceased victims of [[Cybonic plague]], a pathogen created by Megatron himself. Optimus contracted the disease, which was beyond even Ratchet's ability to cure. In search of a treatment, he GroundBridged Arcee and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] to the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'' so they could obtain the cure from Megatron's mind via [[cortical psychic patch]], a controversial procedure banned by Autobots but in which Ratchet was well-versed. While watching the link, Ratchet recorded the hologram of the plague antidote Megatron showed to Bumblebee, and was able later to produce a cure for Optimus. {{storylink|Sick Mind}}

[[File:OutHead-RatchetMegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|I hope you've been practicing "The Man Who Sold the World", Megatron, because you're about to be ''unplugged!'']] While Optimus was given a clean bill of health, Ratchet was more concerned about Bumblebee; learning that the scout was seeing visions of Megatron following their psychic link-up, Ratchet induced a shutdown to give his systems time to recover. The other Autobots soon left the base on a mission, and Ratchet was left with Raf, who was sitting by the unconscious Bumblebee's beside. Trying to explain to the boy that this was unnecessary only resulted in Ratchet being subjected to pictures of Raf's family. The discussion was cut off when Bumblebee suddenly reactivated, leading Ratchet to realize that Megatron had taken over his comrade's body. Unable to stop the Decepticon leader from escaped through the GroundBridge, Ratchet and Raf followed Bumblebee to the Decepticon ship. There, they tried fruitlessly to stop Bumblebee from restoring Megatron to life, and had to retreat under Vehicon fire after Megatron's resurrection. They found Optimus's team on the ground below and returned to base where Ratchet checked over Bumblebee's processor for any lingering traces of Megatron's influence. {{Storylink|Out of His Head}}

Due to his experience with Dark Energon, Ratchet—much to his own surprise—was tapped to take Arcee's place when the Autobots deployed to confront [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. He was attempting to use the evil substance to revive [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]]. Discovering that the kids had followed them through the GroundBridge, Ratchet ordered them to head back through to base, only for a Decepticon GroundBridge to manifest at the same time, causing a disruption that hurled the children into a parallel dimension. Deducing what had happened, Ratchet was able to recreate the original feedback loop and create a portal the kids could escape through. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}} Ratchet also went into the field on the Autobots' next mission: After patching up Bulkhead following a skirmish with Breakdown in which the 'Con was captured by MECH, Ratchet joined the effort to rescue the Decepticon. Following an Energon signature but finding only Breakdown's plucked-out eye, Ratchet attempted to extract images from the eye to help in the Autobots' search, but it turned out to be a MECH booby-trap, and the team only narrowly avoided the bomb explosion that resulted. They later tracked down Bulkhead in time to rescue him from Starscream and Breakdown. {{storylink|Operation: Breakdown}}

[[File:StrongerFaster-Ratchetvehicle.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|A rare sighting.]]

Ratchet was at the Autobot base when Jack and Arcee brought Jack's mother [[June Darby]] in to introduce her to everyone. {{storylink|Crisscross (episode)|Crisscross}} When June next visited the base, the on-edge medic assumed her car was a Decepticon, though he didn't object to June, a nurse, respectfully calling him "doctor". While in conversation with June, Ratchet detected a magnetic anomaly and dispatched Bulkhead and Arcee to find it; when they returned magnetically stuck together, he realized they were dealing with a [[polarity gauntlet]]. Bulkhead and Arcee were eventually able to retrieve the device and present it to Ratchet back at base. {{storylink|Metal Attraction}} Ratchet's tech expertise came to the fore again when he detected the activation of a crashed [[Harbinger|Decepticon ship's]] computer system: when Bumblebee and Arcee returned from investigating with two frozen comrades and the pieces of the [[immobilizer|Decepticon weapon]] responsible, Ratchet was able to repair the weapon and use it to restore Prime and Bulkhead. {{storylink|Partners (Prime)|Partners}}

[[File:StrongerFaster-crouchbehindrock.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Stronger, faster, squatter]]

While most of the other Autobots went out to retrieve a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]], Ratchet stayed at base to monitor them and annoy Bulkhead and Miko by interrupting their monster truck footage. After Bulkhead was called out to the field, Ratchet assigned Miko cleaning duties, only for her to rush off to the battlefield and inadvertently cause the contents of the cylinder to be downloaded into Bulkhead's brain. Ratchet initially gave Bulkhead a clean bill of health, but when Bulkhead started painting complex formulae, Ratchet made two discoveries: one, that the formulae were for [[Synthetic Energon]], and two, that the data was slowly destroying Bulkhead's mind. After much of the formula had been transcribed, the data was beamed out of Bulkhead into space, leaving him comatose. Ratchet's suggestion that a familiar sound might rouse the Autobot led Miko to wake Bulkhead with her guitar playing. {{storylink|T.M.I.}} Working from Bulkhead's incomplete formula, Ratchet appeared to succeed in synthesizing a batch of the Synthetic Energon, and used himself as a guinea pig. Supercharged by the new substance at the expense of his mental stability, Ratchet was made strong enough to trash an entire squad of Vehicons on his own and to throw Bulkhead through a wall while sparring. When he went too far in interrogating a [[Decepticon Miner]] under the auspices of being more "proactive", Optimus was forced to confine him to base. Escaping, Ratchet went to confront Megatron on his own, infiltrating the Decepticons' Energon mine and making short work of Breakdown. Unfortunately, Megatron proved more formidable than expected, and Ratchet was seriously injured and left for Knock Out to extract a sample of Synthetic Energon from. Drained of the SynthEn and its effects, Ratchet managed to raise enough strength to fight back and destroy the sample, and was then rescued by the other Autobots and taken back to base for treatment. Ratchet apologized for his behavior, though at least they'd gained a supply of real energon from the mine out of it. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}

[[File:OneShallRise2-Ratchethumans.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|Professionals never look directly into the camera, Ratchet]]

When Optimus became interested in a prophecy from the [[Covenant of Primus]], Ratchet worked out that the planetary alignment mentioned was mere days away. Shortly after, Raf was injured during a mission to stop the Decepticons from gathering space bridge components. Ratchet's lack of knowledge of human physiology left him unable to treat the boy, so June Darby was called in to help. Ratchet refused to allow Raf to be taken to a hospital, as human doctors wouldn't have any experience with Energon contamination, but it became apparent that this wasn't what was ailing Raf. He had been infected with ''Dark'' Energon. Ratchet took the risk of applying an infusion of regular Energon to neutralize the Dark, and Raf recovered. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}} Immediately thereafter, Ratchet joined Arcee and Bulkhead in rescuing Optimus from a battle with Megatron, then set about analyzing a series of natural disasters that began across the Earth, deducing that the tremors were the heartbeat of [[Unicron]], slumbering within the Earth and threatening to destroy it with his awakening. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}} When Megatron approached the Autobots with the proposition of an alliance to stop Unicron from destroying the planet, Ratchet scoffed at the notion. He grew increasing incredulous to the idea that he would GroundBridge the others into the Earth's very core, following co-ordinates provided by Megatron, so the Optimus could use the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to deactivate Unicron, but was nonetheless forced to go along with the plan when Optimus accepted Megatron's offer. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 2}}

Remaining behind in the base with the kids and unable to contact the Autobots in the planet's depths, Ratchet passed the time telling the humans about the old days when Optimus was known as Orion Pax, and was shocked to discover that Optimus had entrusted Jack with the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] before departing. A final tremor that Ratchet shielded the kids from heralded Autobot victory within the planet, but when Ratchet GroundBridged the others back, they reported that Optimus had lost his memories and left with Megatron. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}

Ratchet reasoned that Optimus's amnesia must have been a result of emptying the Matrix, and that the solution involved the Key to Vector Sigma. He started tinkering with the GroundBridge to try and find a way to reach Cybertron, though when frustrations boiled over at their lack of success in getting Optimus back, Jack suggested they might use the Decepticon space bridge instead. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}} Thought he continued his tinkering with the GroundBridge, Ratchet was demoralized after the first test with Raf's radio-controlled car resulted in the destruction of the toy. The real breakthrough came when Ratchet was able to trade Starscream medical attention for information on the location of the space bridge. Once Ratchet and the others secured the bridge, they sent Jack and Arcee through. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} Ratchet, Bulkhead and Bumblebee monitored Jack's progress from the Earth end of the space bridge. When Megatron arrived to take back control, Ratchet and the others were tossed around like rag dolls by the Decepticon leader. Luckily for them their plan worked out, and Ratchet and the others returned to base with Optimus Prime restored. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}

[[File:OperationBumblebee2 delirious Ratchet.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|"And if you think that's bad, you should see what I did to Injector!"]]
Optimus and Ratchet followed an ancient signal and tangled with Megatron in the process of retrieving the [[spark extractor|Spark Extractor]]. After another altercation, Ratchet discovered that Bumblebee's [[transformation cog|T-cog]] was missing. Ratchet was therefore forced to pick Raf up after school, and told the boy the story of how Bumblebee's voice box was damaged. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} Guilty at his inability to do anything, Ratchet offered his own T-cog and, after talking Optimus into letting him do it, selected Arcee to perform the procedure. When he woke up, it was to find that the operation had been aborted, and Bumblebee had gone after MECH. Bumblebee returned with his lost cog, though in a damaged state, and Ratchet was able to repair it enough to restore Bumblebee's ability to transform. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}

Ratchet patched up Wheeljack after the Wrecker returned to Earth and was involved in a scrap with [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]]. {{storylink|Loose Cannons}} Receiving another coded signal, Ratchet and Bulkhead again found Starscream in need of medical attention. They were able to get information from him about Airachnid's status and the presence of an [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]] on Earth. {{storylink|Crossfire (Prime)|Crossfire}} When Fowler was attacked by a truck that resembled Optimus, Ratchet tracked Optimus's signal to confirm the offender wasn't their leader. They soon established that the truck in question was a MECH-created clone of Optimus, and Ratchet patched up the Autobots after they defeated Silas and [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|Nemesis Prime]]. {{storylink|Nemesis Prime (episode)|Nemesis Prime}} Ratchet dispatched Optimus, Bumblebee and Arcee to investigate underground activity, and they returned with Airachnid in stasis lock. {{storylink|Armada (episode)|Armada}}

Optimus's attempt to attack the ''Nemesis'' with the [[spark extractor|Spark Extractor]] failed, Ratchet returned the stasis-locked team to base and GroundBridged Fowler and the kids aboard the ship. With his guidance, they were able to shut down the intelligence guiding the ship, and he even stepped aboard himself to retrieve Jack and the [[transfer drive]] full of [[Project Iacon]] data. {{storylink|Flying Mind}}

[[File:Prime-TriageRatchet&Wheeljack.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|"Hey Wheeljack, do you think it looks weird when I cross my legs? I mean, I can't help if I have such girly legs."]]
When Optimus decided they would need to secure all four relics at once, Ratchet pointed out that they were short-manned as it was. {{storylink|Tunnel Vision}} He was unimpressed when Optimus decided that Wheeljack would be called in to help him on his part of the mission since he was a capable warrior. {{storylink|Triangulation}} Ratchet disapproved of Wheeljack's behavior as they set off in the ''[[Jackhammer (Prime)|Jackhammer]]'', particularly being called "Doc". He also was far from impressed with his methods when attacking Soundwave and Laserbeak before they crashed landed. When they noticed the downed Laserbeak nearby, he struck on the idea of implanting a virus into the disabled Laserbeak, which would upload the Iacon database to the Autobots. With Raf's help, Ratchet managed to do so while Wheeljack kept Soundwave occupied, and managed to keep out of sight when Soundwave arrived to retrieve his pet. He attempted to convince Wheeljack to return to base for repairs, and thanked him for his back-up. When he returned to base, he found the virus was downloading the Iacon database into the Autobots' mainframe, but his joy was short-lived, as Bulkhead came flying through the GroundBridge with a smoking back {{storylink|Triage (episode)|Triage}} after being shot by [[Hardshell]] {{storylink|Toxicity}}

Ratchet worked frantically to stabilize Bulkhead and, with the help of the other Autobots, managed to succeed, though Bulkhead remained comatose. {{storylink|Hurt}} He continued to oversee Bulkhead's recovery, though when Miko started getting too rough with the patient, he insisted on Bulkhead taking a break. {{storylink|Out of the Past}} When Raf found a report of a Cybertronian escape pod, Optimus took a team including Ratchet to investigate. Ratchet was almost slagged by an Insecticon, but newcomer [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] arrived and helped them win. Back at base, Ratchet was left in charge when Optimus went out to retrieve some [[Red Energon]], and Smokescreen talked him into letting the new Autobot go to Optimus's aid with the [[phase shifter]]. {{storylink|New Recruit}}

Bulkhead continued to try to pressure Ratchet into letting him go back out on missions. Ratchet finally gave in during a mission to protect a military base, though rather than sending him to the base, Ratchet sent him to protect Raf, who was hacking into a [[Project Damocles]] satellite. {{storylink|The Human Factor}}

Ratchet chastised Smokescreen when the latter broke cover to scare a human driver. After Optimus Prime opined that Smokescreen needed a human to teach him local customs and rules, Ratchet grumbled in disgust at the idea of ''yet another'' human being included in their ranks, to the uncomfortable silence of the other Autobots. Shortly thereafter, Ratchet detected a homing beacon from an Iacon relic and a team led by Optimus was sent to investigate in [[China]]. However, a second signal was then detected elsewhere, and with Optimus's team unreachable, Smokescreen was sent in their steed. After discovering that the Decepticons have found the legendary [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], Smokescreen was captured and Jack was pursued by Insecticons, but not before he managed to notify Ratchet of their findings, who GroundBridges to Optimus' position to fill him in. After the Autobots returned to base with their new prize, Ratchet sent Jack home at the request of a very angry Arcee and witnessed Optimus Prime enter a trance while communing through the Star Saber with [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]]. {{storylink|Legacy (episode)|Legacy}}

Ratchet was happy at the news they would soon be able to return home to Cybertron, and when the other Autobots realized they would have to leave their human friends behind, Ratchet suggested they could sent texts. While he worked on a way for Optimus to properly wield the Star Saber, the weapon was later destroyed in battle against Megatron, though Ratchet reminded the other Autobots that Optimus didn't need a sword to be a great warrior. {{storylink|Alpha/Omega}} Ratchet found himself busy repairing the other Autobots after a number of failed missions to retrieve Omega Keys and monitored Optimus's work decoding coordinates, though it turned out that the final set were a picture of Smokescreen. {{storylink|Hard Knocks}}

With Smokescreen a prisoner on the Decepticon warship, Ratchet was unable to track him, but once he freed himself, Ratchet provided a GroundBridge back to base. A short time later they were contacted by Starscream, who offered the final key they needed in exchange for the replacement of his T-Cog. Unfortunately it was a trap, and while Optimus, Ratchet and Bulkhead were examining the corpse of one of [[Starscream clone (Prime)|Starscream's clones]], the real Starscream made off with the Omega Keys. {{storylink|Inside Job}}

[[File:DarkestHour-Ratchetleaves.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|"And Optimus, before you come back to life, be sure to tell Cliffjumper he still needs to pay his medical bills!"]]

Ratchet was surprised to learn that Optimus had kept the existence of the [[Omega Lock]] a secret from everyone. After Optimus modified the GroundBridge into a space bridge, he sent the other Autobots to Cybertron and monitored their progress, though he had to field a phone call from Jack asking why no one had picked the kids up. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}} He had to field a further call from June Darby, and a power surge that disrupted the base computers. When the Autobots finally returned, it was with the news that the Omega Lock had been destroyed, much to Ratchet's shock. When the Decepticons attacked the base, the Autobots were forced to abandon it, and Ratchet GroundBridged to a location elsewhere in the US. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}

[[File:Scattered-Bigfoot.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|"If I have to kill humans for beef jerky one more time..."]]
Despondent, Ratchet hid in a scrap yard outside Woodland Park. He was caught on camera, enabling Bumblebee and Raf to track him down, but they were at first unable to convince him to help them fight back. After experiencing a change of heart, he followed them to the ''Harbinger'' to help get the ship working. {{storylink|Scattered}}
He was able to get the ship's GroundBridge working and used the Decepticon frequencies to contact Fowler. The trio were shortly after joined by most of the other surviving Autobots, accompanied by the newly arrived [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]]. {{storylink|Prey (episode)|Prey}}

Ratchet utilized the GroundBridge and communications systems to lure the Decepticons away from [[Darkmount (Earth)|Darkmount]], with the help of the kids. He monitored the Autobot attack on the fortress from the ''Harbinger'', and was thus able to detect the incoming Optimus Prime, shortly before their leader turned up to save the day. The Autobots later assembled at a human military base, and Ratchet assured Smokescreen that he'd made the right choice in repairing Optimus with the Forge. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}} As the others salvaged technology from their old base, Ratchet set about getting it working in their new one and was able to make the GroundBridge functional again. He also restarted his work on Synthetic Energon, though he warned Optimus not to expect too much. {{storylink|Project Predacon}}

Upon Wheeljack’s return to base after a failed mission, Ratchet asked him to accompany Arcee on another errand, lest Ratchet be forced to abandon his work and venture out of his comfort zone. Though Ratchet was later willing to go out to fetch yet another Predacon bone from a museum (albeit grudgingly), agent Fowler informed him that this was unnecessary, as he was more than capable of retrieving it himself. Things went wrong once more, unfortunately, and the Decepticons acquired the fossil once more. {{storylink|Plus One (Prime)|Plus One}}

[[File:PersuasionFaceoff.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|"Look, if you've kidnapped me to ask about Char Gar Gothikon, let me tell you, this is not the craziest thing the fandom has done!]]
While he continued his work, he also had to take time out to repair the other Autobots, such as when Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack came off second-best against [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]]. {{storylink|Evolution}} He did his best to replace Magnus's hand, but was only able to manage a claw. When the Decepticons began stealing technology, the Autobots captured Soundwave, but were unable to make him talk. Ratchet decided he would have to open the Decepticon up to examine his hard drives directly, but Soundwave merely erased the drives and crashed himself. A Decepticon attack on the [[Solaris particle collider]] led Ratchet to believe that the Decepticons intended to repair the Omega Lock, but while the ramifications were still sinking in, Laserbeak reactivated Soundwave with new orders to capture Ratchet. {{storylink|Minus One}} Ratchet awoke on the ''Nemesis'' and was subjected to a cortical psychic patch. Once the Decepticons realized that he had not completed the Synthetic Energon formula, Megatron revealed to him the reason why he had been captured. The threat of harm to the other Autobots was not enough, but when Megatron explained that the Synth-En was needed to restore Cybertron, and showed off the Omega Lock they'd restored, he reluctantly agreed to help. {{storylink|Persuasion}}

[[File:TFP-Synthesis-PredakingandRatchet.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|Ratchet: "Sean Connery called, he wants his title back." Predaking: "But I ''am'' the last dragon!"]]
With the help of Decepticon engineering, Ratchet completed the formula, but rather than hand Megatron the power to recreate Cybertron, he attempted to destroy it and escape. Unfortunately he was stopped by Megatron, who handed him over to Predaking as a plaything. Though Predaking was keen to avenge his lost species, Ratchet revealed what he'd overheard—that Megatron had allowed the Autobots to find Shockwave's lab. During Predaking's resulting rampage, Ratchet dropped the warship's shields and made contact with the other Autobots to let them know Megatron was planning to cyberform Earth. {{storylink|Synthesis}} Ratchet made his way to the Omega Lock control room, where he did his best to keep Shockwave occupied. He and the others present witnessed Bumblebee kill Megatron, and he was overjoyed to discover that Bumblebee's voice box had been restored as the result of exposure to the Omega Lock. The Autobot took control of the warship and used the Omega Lock to restore Cybertron, however Ratchet opted to remain on Earth to help the humans. {{storylink|Deadlock}}

Ratchet was called to Cybertron to tend to Ultra Magnus, after the Wrecker was wrecked by some new Predacons. When Unicron arrived on the planet using Megatron's body, Ratchet was able to use the ship's sensors to pinpoint Unicron's location, and reveal that the dark god was raising an army of undead Predacons with which to destroy Primus. He was kept out of the battle to save Cybertron, but was present when Optimus sacrificed himself to restore the AllSpark to Cybertron. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}

====Titan ''Prime'' comic====
[[File:Titan4.1 Ratchet.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Optimus! Check out my giant shoulder pads!!!]]
In the lower levels of Outpost Omega One, Ratchet constructed a training room he dubbed the [[Safe]], though the inferior Earth materials he was forced to use meant it wasn't as good as it could be. Indeed, Bulkhead began tearing his way merrily through it, only to uncover something Ratchet hadn't found—a nuclear missile which promptly activated. Ratchet and Raf were assigned to deal with the bomb, however as Raf was the expert on Earth technology, Ratchet deferred to him. Luckily Raf managed to reverse the bomb's timer, and Fowler arrived with some scientists to take care of the rest. After Bulkhead apologized to Ratchet for smashing up the room, Ratchet suggested he and Raf design a new Safe. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.1|The Safe and the Failsafe}}

Optimus took the Autobots and the kids on a trip to [[Valley of Fire State Park]]. When Raf impressed the others with his knowledge and worried it made himself sound geeky, Ratchet proclaimed himself Autobot geek and proud. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.2|War Story}}

Ratchet alerted the others to the fact that Fowler was about to arrive at the base, and indeed, Fowler walked in moments later with the news that the Decepticons had hijacked [[Yamal|a nuclear ship]] near [[Antarctica]]. When Optimus, Bumblebee and Ratchet arrived at the ship, they found the crew were unconscious. Ratchet wondered what could have done that, but he was answered moments later by [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], who knocked him out with a [[sonic lance]]. By the time Ratchet recovered, the fight was over, and as they returned to the base, he said he'd be fine so long as he stayed away from any ice. Unfortunately in their absence, the others had turned the base into an ice skating ring, and as soon as he stepped through the GroundBridge, Ratchet ended up flat on his back. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.3|Ice Breaker}}

[[File:Titan4.4 Ratchet.jpg|thumb|270px]]
As Raf was playing ''[[Invasionauts II]]'' at the base, Ratchet observed that the alien robots he was fighting in the game looked a lot like Autobots. After the game hypnotised Raf into operating the GroundBridge and letting in Vehicons, Ratchet initially blamed Bulkhead, but helped hold off the Decepticons until Raf recovered and reconfigured the bridge to suck the Vehicons back in. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.4|Tinker, Tailor, Gamer, Spy!}}

Upon hearing that several schools in Jasper County had mysteriously exploded, Jack came to suspect something was afoot. Ratchet approved of the way Jack was starting to sound as paranoid as him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.5|School Is... Out!}}

After the [[President of the United States]] was kidnapped by Starscream, Ratchet and the Autobots tracked the Decepticon to the [[Grand Canyon]]. Ratchet and Bulkhead protected [[Air Force One]] while the others rescued the President. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.6|All the President's 'Bots!}}

When he lost contact with Optimus Prime while their leader was exploring a scrap-metal facility in [[Zhejiang Province]], [[China]], Ratchet dispatched Bulkhead and Arcee to help, but was forced to drop them ten kilometers from the target due to interference. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.8|The Mind Trap!}} Ratchet was forced to GroundBridge [[Novo|Agent Novo]] to China after the MECH operative took Miko hostage. To make up for it, he discovered a way to track [[Miko's phone]], pointing the other Autobots to the location of MECH's base. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.9|The Novo Incident}}

After deploying Optimus's team to the [[Deep Driller]] oil platform, Ratchet monitored the situation from base, and was amused by the sight of Prime and the others being defeated by a bunch of humans in [[robotic battle suit]]s. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.10|Mad Dogs & Autobots}} Ratchet operated the GroundBridge so the other Autobots could take the kids onto the ''Nemesis'' to search for Bulkhead, who had been abducted after a solo mission. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.11|The Battle for Bulkhead}} During a battle in [[The Wave]], Bumblebee was injured by a sniper, so Ratchet patched him up and sent him back to base with Raf. When the Autobots later returned to base, Ratchet was surprised to find the pair had trashed the place. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.12|The Evil Shred}}

Agent Fowler managed to intercept a Decepticon broadcast, which alerted Ratchet and the rest of the Autobots to the Decepticons' next plot; the desecration of the [[Statue of Liberty]]. But as Liberty Island, now occupied by the Decepticons, was too small to launch a full frontal assault against, Ratchet stayed behind while Optimus and Bumblebee led a stealth operation against Megatron's troops. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.13|Protecting the Lady}}

Ratchet remained on Cybertron after Prime's sacrifice and the rebirth of Cybertron, {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} with a statue of him built in his honor. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} However, Ratchet was blacklisted by the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of Optimus Prime, {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}} and was assigned the job of hunting down any remaining war criminals. Knowing that this was effectively a banishment, and that protesting would only land him in prison, Ratchet reluctantly accepted. Partnered with the [[Mini-Con]] [[Undertone]], he tracked down and captured rogue Decepticons.

[[File:DecepticonIsland2 Ratchet.jpg|thumb|right|200px|"Back in action!"]]

Ratchet eventually tracked a Decepticon to Earth, where he ran across [[Clampdown (RID)|Clampdown]]. Shortly afterwards, he encountered Bumblebee and the rest of the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]], including a reborn Optimus Prime. Making his way back to the scrapyard base, he explained the circumstances of his mission to the team, only to be interrupted by the arrival of [[Toolbox]], an escaped Mini-Con. Along with the other Autobots, he decided to take part in the raid on the Decepticon base. He also privately counseled Optimus about whether or not the former Autobot leader should re-take command. The team slipped into the base by masquerading as [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]]'s captives, although they were eventually spotted and surrounded by [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]'s new army of Decepticon fugitives. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}}

Thanks to Windblade providing the team with a distraction, the Autobots were able to make a break for it and slip away from Steeljaw's troops. They then split up into smaller teams, and Ratchet found himself fighting alongside [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] and his Mini-Con students against [[Overload (RID)|Overload]] to free [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] from a stasis pod. Ratchet was overpowered by the hulking Decepticon and thrown into another nearby pod, although [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] managed to escape when Drift was similarly imprisoned. [[File:FreedomFighters Ratchet vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|left|250px|MEDIC!]]The Mini-Cons released the medic and Windblade, giving them another shot at defeating their opponent. Drift escaped from his pod in due course as well, and together the Autobots were able to put Overlord in stasis, after deliver a decisive blow to the narcissist's face.
Ratchet and Undertone then escaped with the other Autobots after Bumblebee and Optimus detonated a [[stasis bomb]] inside the ship, freezing all those still within. In the aftermath, Ratchet and Undertone decided to return to Cybertron with Windblade to help Optimus investigate Cybertron's government. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

During a visit to the remains of Outpost Omega One, Grimlock stepped on an old armor buffer discarded by Ratchet, and mistook it for a mine. {{storylink|History Lessons}}

While investigating the High Council, Ratchet was also studying ShadowZone particles. After one of the particles registered on Earth, indicating something traveled from the ShadowZone to Earth. He informed Optimus of his discovery, who promptly headed to Earth to investigate.{{storylink|Collateral Damage}}

Ratchet was able to fit ''[[Prime Force One]]'' with a more advanced cloaking device, shortly before he accompanied Optimus and the rest of the team to Earth to recruit Bumblebee's team. While the Bee Team traveled to Cybertron, Optimus, Jazz, Ratchet, Windblade and Bulkhead remained on Earth temporarily. They soon found action when a signal led them to the steel mill that had just been burgled by a Cybertronian advance force. Within, they found a list of items pointing to the fact the advance force was building a space bridge receiver, and also a bomb which promptly exploded. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}} [[File:RIDAllStarsNewHighCouncil.jpeg|thumb|right|300px|So thas it? What? We some kinda...Suicide Squad?]]The group was saved by Ratchet's [[Triage Shield]]. They continued to follow the trail to the [[Crown City]] docks, where Ratchet again deployed the Triage Shield in order to conceal the ensuing battle from any human eyes. Following the destruction of the space bridge portal that had been opened, the team returned to Cybertron where Optimus nominated the rest of the group as a provisional council. {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}}

{{voiceactor|[[Todd Perlmutter]] (English)}}
Ratchet's nephew [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] speculated that he might be the new teacher at the [[Rescue Bot Training Center|Rescue Bot Training Academy]]. The other recruits were both excited and impressed upon learning of Medix's famous relative. {{storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}}

Ratchet developed the [[Aptitude Analyzer]], which after putting the recruits through a series of tests, he was able to use to match them all with appropriate mentors. {{storylink|Back to School}} He additionally designed a new set of rescue simulations for the recruits, which he delivered to them personally. After [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] and [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] recovered a crashed spaceship, Ratchet set about accessing the cargo in its vault. {{Storylink|Mission Dinobot}} Ratchet developed some echo-location goggles. The demonstration of this new tech was hampered by the fact Medix had brought a [[Mister Flappy|live bat]] with him. {{storylink|Medix Steps Up To The Bat}} After extracting the vault from the crashed spaceship, Ratchet had trouble opening it and let the recruits try. This led to him becoming trapped in an ancient sim until the recruits were able to rescue him. Once the vault opened, Ratchet found it contained an ancient artifact. {{storylink|The Vault Of The Primes}}

Ratchet attended the opening of the [[Museum of Future Tech Art]] in [[Griffin Rock]]. {{storylink|Museum Mystery}} He had Perceptor check the artifact recovered from the vault to confirm it was the [[Sparksayer]]. After the relic bestowed new rescue tools on the recruits, he had them run through a sim exercise to test them. {{storylink|Power Up And Energize}} After Medix accidentally activated Ratchet's diagnostic tools, resulting in chaos across the academy, the young bot confessed everything to his uncle. {{Storylink|Good Advice}}

Though the Mul-T-Cogs also found in the vault were inactive, Ratchet was able to get Hot Shot to use his cog to activate them. Ratchet cautioned Hot Shot that the devices would need testing before use, but Hot Shot got the other recruits to try them anyway, resulting in Hot Shot having to drain his own cog to restore the other recruits' ability to transform. Fortunately Ratchet was able to come up with a solution that had the other recruits reactivate Hot Shot's cog using theirs. {{storylink|Small Cogs}}

[[File:RatchetWFCScreenshotAttack.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|"Just let me patch you up with my [[Energon repair ray|ENORMOUS HEALING CANNON]]!"]]
During the [[Decepticon]]s' siege of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Ratchet was assigned to Optimus, and helped him rescue a courier named [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], who informed Optimus that with the presumed death of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], the Council was putting him in command. The three of them headed back to the command center, receiving a message from [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] that the [[Aerialbot (WFC)|Aerialbots]] were being overwhelmed and needed support. It was decided that the planetary guns, disabled earlier by [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron's]] forces, needed to be brought back online. Informing Jetfire that he was taking temporary command, Optimus took Ratchet and Bumblebee with him on the mission, though when Ratchet questioned the "temporary" part, Optimus brushed it aside.

When that mission was completed, they decided their next stop was the [[Decagon]], in order to re-establish communications and coordinate Iacon's defense. Hitting serious resistance, including several [[Decepticon war machine]]s and more than a few damaged lifts which Ratchet puzzled out a way around, they nonetheless prevailed with help from Jetfire and [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]], before reaching the Decagon itself, where they encountered the former Autobot [[Air Commander|Sky Commander]], [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. They managed to defeat him as well and retook the Decagon. He boosted the signal of a message from the captive Zeta Prime and cautioned Optimus not to act as it was clearly a trap.

After Optimus was named the new [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], he went on a mission to free [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s core of Megatron's [[Dark Energon]] corruption. In order to do so, however, he needed to open the [[Omega Gate]], which would require freeing [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] from Decepticon captivity. Omega was still badly damaged from his battle with Megatron's forces, so Optimus called in Ratchet, whom Prime, [[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]], and Ironhide protected during his operation to repair Omega Supreme. After the Omega Gate was opened, Ratchet returned to base with Omega, as field repairs could only do so much.

When [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] began destroying fleeing Autobot ships on Megatron's order, Ratchet declared the Decepticon leader completely insane. Once Trypticon fell to the surface from orbit, Ratchet organized the rescue effort. After Trypticon was defeated, he praised Optimus on his success, but the price paid was costly - many Autobots were lost, and those remaining were now forced to abandon Cybertron while the planetary [[Primus|Core]] repaired the damage. Ratchet was one of those who stayed behind with Optimus to resist Megatron's schemes, and to build an ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' to carry them from their home when the time came. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

[[File:WFCDS Ratchet.jpg|thumb|124px|"Doctor, are you sure this will work?" 
"I HAVE NO IDEA!"]]
When the Decepticons started poking around an Autobot base, Ratchet tracked their search patterns and instructed a [[Autobot rookie|rookie]] on where to go to find whatever it was they were looking for. Ratchet was in the control room to greet the rookie on arrival, and hand him over to [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] for basic training. Unfortunately the Decepticons destroyed the rookie and found the intel they were after. Following Zeta Prime's capture, the Autobot leader managed to contact Ironhide and Ratchet, but the data links powering the communications grid were severed. Ratchet greeted another rookie, who managed to repair the data links.

Ratchet would go on to become a member of Optimus' inner circle. Following the retaking of Iacon, he reported that the Data-net was back online and Zeta Prime could contact them again. He later worked with Jetfire to analyse core samples, and discovered that the core would be healing itself if it weren't for the influence of the Dark Energon corruptors. Optimus's team successfully freed the core, but the planet was no longer able to sustain them. When Ratchet asked what they'd do, Optimus responded that their new mission was to leave the planet. Ratchet was among the Autobots who defeated Megatron's secret weapon, the monstrous titan Trypticon. Upon Trypticon's defeat, Ratchet left the planet along with Optimus's team. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|War for Cybertron - Autobots/Decepticons}}

===''Transformers: Cybertron Adventures''===
Ratchet attempted to aid and evacuate survivors from an orbital blast form Megatron's new weapon, [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]], when the Decepticon leader tracked him down. After exchanging gunfire, Ratchet was forced onto a ledge, and Megatron tauntingly kicked him off. The Autobot survived the fall, but was pinned down by debris. Fortunately [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] was in the area and came to the rescue. As the two made their trek back to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Ratchet informed Sideswipe that he had information about the Decepticon superweapon that needed to get to Optimus right away... {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}
{{note|Ratchet is not a playable character; he appears as a boss in the Decepticon campaign, and only in a single cutscene in the Autobot campaign.}}

===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron''===
{{voiceactor|[[Fred Tatasciore]] (English)}}
Ratchet was deeply hurt by the torment of having to watch his home planet power down around him. He recorded several audio logs in order to acknowledge and reflect on the cause of the planet's slow demise, hoping that a future generation would never have to endure such a sight. Ratchet came to fear the very likely reality that the Transformers' war would not end when "all were one" - but rather, due to their own extinction from lack of Energon. It was this need for Energon that forced the Autobots to begin to siphon power from [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]'s inert, but still alive body; a gruesome last resort that shook Ratchet to his core, praying that there was some justification to be found for the Autobots' desperate act.

During the preparations for the Ark's launch, Ratchet worked with Optimus Prime, [[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]], and the other Autobots to recover the energon necessary for lift-off. In addition, he and Optimus tended to a wounded [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]]. Grimlock later identified a space bridge for the Autobots to use to escape Cybertron, but upon its' destruction, Ratchet reported that it was becoming unstable and they needed to launch as soon as possible. Thanks to the sacrifice of [[Metroplex (FOC)|Metroplex]], they were able to do so immediately, but they came under attack by the ''Nemesis''. When cornered while trying to treat Bumblebee during the initial assault, Ratchet slyly used a flashing beacon to disorient the Decepticons while feigning submission. Ratchet guided Bumblebee through the ''Ark'' until he found the dueling Optimus and Megatron.

=== ''Transformers: Prime - The Game'' ===
[[File:Transformers prime the game ratchet.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
{{voiceactor|[[Jeffrey Combs]] (English)|[[Philippe Dumond]] (French)}}

When Team Prime mobilized to untether the [[Dark Energon]] meteor that the Decepticons were towing into orbit via the ''Nemesis'', Ratchet per usual stayed behind to run the GroundBridge. When the meteor fell to Earth, taking Team Prime with it, Ratchet left the human allies to man the Bridge in order to retrieve [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], who was the only Autobot whose energy signature they were able to locate... ''before'' Ratchet teleported out, at least.

Ratchet found Prime next to the largest surviving chunk of the meteorite, which also contained the colossus [[Thunderwing (Prime)|Thunderwing]]. The giant awoke, and quickly swatted Ratchet away with its one free arm. Ratchet made his way bac kto the ruins where Optimus and Thunderwing had landed, but the ''Nemesis'' had also arrived and began raining plasma fire into the area to subdue Thunderwing. Optimus and Ratchet bolted for a GroundBridge portal opened by Arcee (as she had luckily fallen close to [[Jasper]] and was able to make it back to the base on-wheel), but stray cannon-fire sent Ratchet flying away once again. The timed portal closed without him, and left Ratchet to be captured by the Decepticons.

On board the ''Nemesis'', Ratchet was forced to repair the giant Thunderwing, as the Decepticons had also kidnapped Miko and Raf and used them as hostages. Ratchet, indignant as always, performed just enough work to look like he was doing what he was told, but spent more time seeking out a weak point in the monster. When Megatron returned with the final major component to bringing Thunderwing back to full power, Ratchet looked to be out of options... until the Decepticon leader was momentarily distracted by the return of Starscream, who himself was being held hostage by Bulkhead. Ratchet took the chance to bolt from his cell and lock Megatron in, making his way through the security system and hordes of Vehicons to free Miko and Raf.

Once the humans were free, they took a service elevator up to the main communications hub of the ''Nemesis'' in order to get word out to the other Autobots, and hopefully use the Decepticon SpaceBridge to escape. After taking out numerous Vehicons, the three made it to the main comm hub, only to find Soundwave at the controls. Raf patched into the room's defense systems to briefly drop energy shielding on four computer towers, allowing Ratchet to destroy them and drop the force field that surrounded the main comm console. Forced to fight one-on-one, Soundwave made clever use of the Space bridge to warp in and out of the control room, but eventually found himself bested by the veteran Autobot and was forced to retreat. Now in control, Ratchet was able to communicate with the other Autobots who had infiltrated the ''Nemesis'', and successfully warped them off the ship as it collapsed due to the damage Thunderwing had caused in his escape.

Back at the base, Ratchet informed the others that he could develop a siphon that could drain at least some of Thunderwing's Dark Energon, hopefully weakening the beast enough to allow them to destroy him. He stayed behind to work on the device as Bumblebee, Arcee and Bulkhead mobilized near a Dark Energon volcano that Thunderwing was headed towards. Ratchet was forced to bring the incomplete device with him to the volcano upon Thunderwing's arrival. He informed the other Autobots that due to the short amount of time he had to work on it, the siphon would only be truly effective if it was practically ''inside'' Thunderwing. Things looked hopeless until stowaways Miko and Jack piped up, Miko showing the Autobots a [[Miko's phone|cell phone picture]] of a break in Thunderwing's chest armor that Ratchet had never repaired... a break just big enough for a human to fit into. Though reluctant to put the humans at risk, Ratchet handed over the siphon to Jack, who rode Arcee to the beast, and successfully installed the siphon, allowing Optimus Prime to finish Thunderwing once and for all. {{storylink|Transformers: Prime - The Game}}

{{note|Ratchet is only playable in a single stage of Story Mode: "The Escape!". He is available as a playable character in the game's multi-player battle modes from the start, however. 
In this game, Ratchet oddly does not have his blades. Instead, when he enters his "upgrade" mode, he deploys a massive wrench from his left wrist socket (seriously, it's as big as his forearm!) which he uses to clobber opponents. This is also the only time we see Prime-cartoon-era Ratchet employ a blaster for combat.}}

Ratchet enlisted [[you]] for a top secret mission; you were to infiltrate Shockwave's lab and retrieve data on Shockwave's experiments, the Predacons. Ratchet instructed you to scour the lab for the data, and report back to him immediately upon its discovery. Throughout your investigation, Ratchet would aid you to overcome many obstacles with his instructions, such as how to rewire the controls to a busted lift, or turn on the Energon stabilization protocols. Once the data on the Predacons has been gathered, Ratchet informed you that the Autobots would prepare for the looming threat of the Predacons with new weapons called "[[Beast Gear]]." He then uploaded data on the Autobots to keep you informed on their Predacon-battling capabilities, and thanked you for your service. {{storylink|Hunt the Beasts}}

===''Transformers Prime: Terrorcon Defense''===
Ratchet discovered a way to send Autonomous Defense Turrets through the Ground Bridge. He shipped these out to the battle whenever other Autobots in combat situations requested them. He also walked through the other Autobots through their missions while he stayed behind at Autobot headquarters, coordinating their efforts. He would also occasionally send Energon to the Autobots in the field when he detected an incoming threat that was particularly imposing. {{Storylink|Transformers Prime: Terrorcon Defense|Terrorcon Defense}}

*Ratchet's model is usable in ''War for Cybertron'' multiplayer as the Medic Rig-type chassis for [[Leader (WFC)|Leader]]-class characters. His parts are also available in ''Fall of Cybertron'', now classified as Mercenary-type components for [[Destroyer (FOC)|Destroyer]]-class characters.
*''Transformers'' alumnus [[Michael Bell]] originally auditioned for the part of Ratchet in ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'', but ultimately lost the role to [[Jeffrey Combs]].
*His license plate number in "[[Stronger, Faster]]" is '''449 EPQ'''.
*Ratchet's body parts are available to use in the Hub website's [[Vector Sigma Bot Builder]] online game. Normally, you cannot configure a generic 'bot using all Ratchet parts, but you can see what one would look like at right through the magic of Photoshop.
*Ratchet's [[evergreen]] design in ''Rescue Bots Academy'' strongly resembles [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|''Cyberverse'' Ratchet]]. They even have identical voices similar to [[Ratchet (Animated)|''Animated'' Ratchet]].

===Arms Up Modes===
In the Japanese ''Prime'' toyline, Ratchet has several powered-up modes when given various [[Arms Micron]]s in certain configurations:

[[File:DarknessRising4 CybSat-RatchetAntiTerror.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|"I am ze ÜBERMENSCH!"]]

*'''Destroy Mode''' (デストロイモード ''Desutoroi Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, C.L., O.P., R.A.
: Ratchet's rather uncharacteristically-named "Destroy Mode", as seen on his box-back photo, uses a combined-weapon made up of [[R.A.]] and [[B.2]] in his right hand, [[O.P.]] on his left arm, and [[C.L.]] on his left leg.

*'''''Sekkensenrenzan'' Mode''' (接近戦連斬モード ''Sekkensenrenzan Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': C.L., Gora, O.P. (x2), R.A. (x2)
:Meaning "Close-combat Multi-slash Mode", and revealed in the "[[From the Cybertron Satellite, Transformers Division|Cybertron Satellite]]" segment from "[[Darkness Rising, Part 4|Infiltration Transformation! Battleship Nemesis]]", this "Anti-Terrorcon" mode is... just ''brutal''. He's got an R.A. on each forearm, with an O.P. attached to the back of each, with [[Gora]] (?) on his right leg, and C.L. on his left.

*'''Stealth Mode''' (ステルスモード ''Sterusu Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': R.A. (x4!), Zori (x2)
:''Four'' R.A.s are joined to create a super-large [[shuriken]]-like weapon that stores on Ratchet's back. A pair of [[Zori]]s hang from Ratchet's shoulders, with the claw-tails hanging down to create a "cloak of invisibility". This mode is for "stealthily backing up Optimus Prime and the others", according to the [http://youtu.be/QJUMhgggH-Q TakaraTomy developer video where it premiered], hosted by TakaraTomy designer [[Hironori Kobayashi]].
:There is also a variant configuration, '''Defense Mode''', which opens up the panels on Ratchet's arms and moves the Zoris to the "wrist-mounted blade" positions, which cross in an "X" in front of Ratchet as a stealth shield.
:Kobayashi also made custom carbon-black stickers for Ratchet's shoulders and chest, and in the video shows viewers how to customize their own stickers.

Bulldog was active in the Great War, where his exploits were documented and covered up by the [[Order of the Witwiccans]]. In the present day, Bulldog—his physical and mental facilities now severely degraded—was one of the several elderly Autobots that had come under the care of Sir Edmund Burton in the [[United Kingdom]].

When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Cade Yeager]] arrived on the premises, Bulldog mistook the two for enemies and fired on them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[[File:OriginMyths-Megatronuskillspeople.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"[[Megatron (Movie)|You still fight for the '''weak!''' That is why you '''lose!'''"]]]]

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

In the era that followed, the seven Primes were joined by five more, giving rise to the [[Thirteen]], who ruled over the [[Thirteen Tribes]]. Many of the Primes had grown arrogant, however, and began spreading rumors that only a Prime could kill another Prime so as to maintain their superiority over their followers. {{storylink|The Crucible}} At Onyx's urging, [[Prima]] began a program of interstellar expansion; aiming to spread [[Pax Cybertronia]] across the galaxy, he sent Megatronus, Onyx, Alpha Trion, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] and the [[Guardian robot|Omega Sentinels]] to lead an extraplanetary colonization mission to neighboring [[Antilla]], claiming that their deeds would spread the "enlightenment" of Cybertronian civilization to other worlds. The Cybertronian colonization force quickly encountered severe resistance from the Antillans; the devastating Antillan/Cybertronian war would end when an [[Unicron's creator|Antillan scientist]] deployed a [[Talisman (G1)|doomsday weapon]] that scoured all life on the planet, and the fallout from the war would ensure that the rest of the universe would come to fear the destructive power of the Transformers. {{storylink|Our Finest}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

Prima was enraged to learn that their benevolent mission had failed and blamed Megatronus for the disaster; when an insulted Megatronus was subsequently approached by Liege Maximo, the manipulative Prime stoked Megatronus's resentment and eventually brokered a secret alliance, a sequence of events that had been deliberately orchestrated by Shockwave so as to bring about the fall of the Primes as history had foretold. Megatronus and Liege Maximo sought to overthrow Prima, but in the ensuing struggle [[Solus Prime]] sacrificed her life to defend their leader, allowing Megatronus to run her through with her own [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} Their conspiracy unveiled, the grand alliance between the Primes collapsed and their followers fell to fighting amongst one another, heralding the beginning of the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]]. {{storylink|Heavy}} Megatronus subsequently fled the planet, leaving his co-conspirator to be imprisoned aboard his own [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Vigilem]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

Without Megatronus leading his tribe, his empire collapsed and his followers went their own ways; Galvatron became notable for deserting his post in Megatronus's faltering army in order to wage a personal crusade against the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s of [[Nexus Prime]]. {{storylink|The Crucible}} {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}} By the time that Galvatron hunted down and killed Nexus Prime, many of the remaining Primes had fled Cybertron entirely {{storylink|The Crucible}} and Megatronus had taken up residence on the barren world of [[Tsiehshi]], using its voltaic blooms to fuel his systems.

[[File:TheFirstWhoWasNamed-Megatronus.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|"I '''SMELL''' you, boy!"]]

Seeking to bring him to justice, Prima, Alpha Trion, and Onyx Prime left Cybertron to search for him aboard the Titan [[Emissary (IDW)|Emissary]]. They tracked him to Tsiehshi, where Prima and Onyx faced down the rogue Prime in a final duel; in the ensuing battle, Megatronus simply bisected Prima with his Star Saber. To ensure that the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in the sword's hilt would find its way to its [[Nova Prime|next owner]] when the time was right, however, Onyx coldly informed his student that his usefulness was at an end and murdered him, telling him that—thanks to the impending rise of Megatron—Cybertronians would, after a fashion, remember his name.

On returning to Alpha Trion, Onyx told the record-keeper the version of events that would find their way into the records of Cybertronian myth, lying that Prima had heroically slain Megatronus at the cost of his own life... a fabrication based on the stories that Shockwave had been told in his youth. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

[[File:OP18-MegatronusDead.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.5|"Who would you be without me, Prime?" "Time to find out."]]
Megatronus's name was stricken from the Cybertronian records for his crimes, and on both Cybertron and its colony worlds he was only remembered as "The Fallen." {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} When Alpha Trion recounted the story of the war's end to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], he was unable to elaborate on why Megatronus and Megatron shared such similar names. {{storylink|The Crucible}} He was, however, able to point out that Shockwave had sent one of his [[Regenesis]] ores, [[Ore-8]], to Tsiehshi, where Megatronus had once resided; unbeknownst to Trion, this was because "Onyx Prime" had manipulated events so that his younger self would select this planet for the Regenesis project. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

On the eve of [[Earth]]'s official induction into the [[Council of Worlds]], Alpha Trion told Optimus Prime, [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]], and [[Pyra Magna]] the story of how Megatronus's conquests had first brought the Thirteen together all those years ago. Starscream questioned if he was represented in this story by Arcee or Megatronus, believing the latter to be a made-up name. {{storylink|Origin Myths}}

When "Onyx Prime" and his tribe of [[Maximal]]s invaded Cybertron some weeks later, [[Devastator (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Devastator]], driven on by [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]]'s religious fanaticism, reached an earth-shattering epiphany: the duplicitous, backstabbing Starscream was the reincarnation of Megatronus. Initially unsure of this revelation, Starscream went with it until Shockwave, unmasked as an impostor, revealed that he had orchestrated the decidedly mortal Starscream's disastrous rise and fall from power. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|The Hallowing}}

Long ago, Megatronus was hailed as a hero for his defeat of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] using the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]]. However, he and his lover [[Solus Prime]] clashed over what to do with the Blaster afterwards, as Megatronus wanted to keep it for his own rather than see it destroyed. {{storylink|The Swamp}} As the two fought, the weapon was accidentally discharged, killing Solus and leaving Megatronus to grieve. {{storylink|Without Warning}} The other Primes took back the Blaster from Megatronus, sealing it away, and he placed himself into exile until he could find a way to reunite with his deceased love. {{storylink|Athenaeum Sanctorum (episode)|Athenaeum Sanctorum}}

Many years later, Megatronus orchestrated the events of both the [[Combiner Wars (event)|Combiner Wars]] and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s resurrection from behind the scenes in an attempt to claim the [[Enigma of Combination]] and the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. To this end, he recruited [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] to his cause and guided him to the [[Matrix of Conquest|Matrix of Chaos]] within Unicron's remains, promising Overlord immense power after his plan had succeeded. [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] also joined the ranks of his acolytes after Overlord used the Matrix of Chaos to turn him into Rodimus Cron. {{storylink|Volcanicus (episode)|Volcanicus}} After Trypticon's defeat, [[Victorion]] attempted to claim the Enigma and Matrix, but Megatronus surrounded them with a fiery aura, destroying part of Victorion's [[Dust Up|arm]]. He appeared before the other Transformers, warning them that their time had come to an end. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] attempted to distract Megatronus with an angry outburst, giving [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] a chance to surprise attack him, but Megatronus brushed Maximus aside and killed Optimus.

Determined to reunite with Solus, Megatronus turned his sights towards the missing Requiem Blaster. Unsure where it might have been hidden, he began searching its most likely hiding places, burning them to the ground when left empty-handed. {{storylink|The Swamp}} In the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of Sparks]], he began gathering the sparks of Overlord's and Rodimus Cron's victims and installed the Enigma and Matrix into an device which, when combined with the Blaster, would be capable of ripping the spark from every Transformer. {{storylink|Without Warning}} Taking notice of the Blaster being fired, Megatronus rushed to the [[Athenaeum Sanctorum]], where he revealed his plan. After clashing with Megatron, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] and a Unicron-possessed Rodimus, he grabbed the Blaster and took off to put his plan into motion. {{storylink|Consequences}}

Megatronus returned to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of Sparks]] and installed the Blaster, activating his doomsday weapon. The machine began to drain everyone's sparks as planned, causing Solus to manifest, but they were interrupted by the arrival of Megatron and his team. Refusing to lose, Megatronus shot down Windblade, but was restrained by Grimlock and Optimus Primal. However, the sight of his nearly-resurrected lover gave him the strength to break free, and he burned all the others except Megatron, who moved to protect them. Before he could finish them off, their battle was interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Rodimus Cron, now totally under Unicron's control. {{storylink|Collision Course}} Determined to destroy Megatronus and Solus for being part of [[Primus]]'s Thirteen, along with the Matrix, Megatronus battled against Unicron while repeatedly having to divert his attention towards the others attacking his device. Temporarily incapacitating Unicron, Megatronus attacked the others despite Solus's pleas for him to stop, but was unable to prevent them from releasing the relics as the Matrix transformed Primal into Optimal Optimus. While Unicron attacked the new Prime, Megatronus made a grab for the Enigma and Blaster, only to be restrained by the other heroes. {{storylink|Megatronus Unleashed}} He managed to overtake them and grab the Blaster, seeking vengeance for the failure of his plans, but was caught off guard when new arrival [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] landed on him from above. The two briefly battled before Megatronus gained the upper hand and ripped off his head, and he attempted to stop Megatron from destroying Solus. His lover, however, suddenly grew in size and grabbed him. Despite his pleas that his love for her was everlasting, she rebuked him and dragged him into the Well, finally killing him. {{storylink|Saga's End}}

Though [[Vector Prime]] did not necessarily think history was wrong to record Megatronus as a monster, he ''was'' his brother, and Vector still had happy memories of their time together before Megatronus's fall from grace. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/14}} During the Thirteen's time in ancient Greece in some [[universal stream]]s, the holomatter avatar that the rage-filled Megatronus used to interact with the human population inspired the myth of {{w|Ares}}. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/20}} He used to have an impressive collection of antique melee weapons before [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] ruined it with Cosmic Rust... at least, according to Sideways. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Sideways, 2015/07/02}}

[[Vector Prime]] noted that this was not the only reality where Megatronus was drawn to human pyramids and wondered if there was any link to [[Devil Z]]'s own affinity for pyramids and the Nazca Lines. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/30}} [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)|Cy-Kill]] would even be heard to swear by the Evil One. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric (1), 2015/10/13}}

Jealous of his brothers and sisters, Megatronus was motivated to move against his siblings, and targeted Prima's [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], intending to take it for his own. To keep it out of his hands, [[Solus Prime]] shattered the blade with her [[Forge of Solus Prime|Forge]], and each piece was taken by one of [[Nexus Prime]]'s components and scattered across the multiverse. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/18}} {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}}

While visiting [[Primax 509.28 Epsilon|one universe]]'s Cybertron as part of his quest for the sword's fragments, Nexus decided to tell his companion [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]] about his quest. As he explained the danger of the artifact falling into evil hands, the face of The Fallen flashed through his mind. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

[[File:TheFallen-ROTFwithPrimes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.95|''Ocupado!'']]
Nineteen thousand years ago, The Fallen accompanied [[Dynasty of Primes|his brother Primes]] to [[Earth]] in an attempt to harvest the [[Sun|star]] it orbited. Just as they had completed construction of the [[Star Harvester]], however, The Fallen discovered [[Human|a primitive race of hunters]]. The Primes invoked their rule of the sanctity of life and refused to activate the harvester, but The Fallen despised the humans as simple insects and attempted to activate the Harvester. A great battle took place, but ultimately, The Fallen was defeated and the remaining Primes hid themselves and the [[Matrix of Leadership]], and The Fallen's harvester was concealed within a pyramid in [[Egypt]]. The Fallen dispatched the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]] to locate the Matrix, but they proved unable and he eventually abandoned them. The Fallen became known as the first [[Decepticon]], and he became the master of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], leader of the faction. He employed Megatron in the pursuit of the [[AllSpark]], but after Megatron's defeat at [[Mission City]], the AllSpark was reduced to a mere fragment.

[[File:TheFallen-ROTFNemesis.jpg|thumb|upright=1.95]]

Upon Megatron's revival he traveled to the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', where The Fallen stayed in a life-support chair while [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] oversaw the creation of a new army of Decepticons. Prostrating himself before the Fallen, Megatron said that he had failed his master and their race by allowing the AllSpark to be destroyed. Amused by his disciple's misinformation, The Fallen revealed that the cube was merely a vessel, while the knowledge within the AllSpark was instead placed within the mind of the human who had challenged Megatron, [[Sam Witwicky]]. With the knowledge within Sam's mind, they could find the Star Harvester and the Matrix needed to activate it. Megatron asked permission to avenge himself and reclaim the AllSpark, but The Fallen asked for patience, though he could understand his desire, as The Fallen himself hungered to return to the wretched planet where his brother Primes had betrayed him. The Fallen also explained that the only threat to him was the last surviving Prime, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]. Since Optimus would protect Sam, The Fallen ordered Megatron to capture the boy and draw out the Prime.

Megatron's mission was partially successful: although the boy escaped, Optimus came to defend him and died in the process. The Fallen sensed his death and was very pleased, knowing that the time to strike was now. When the Decepticons traveled to the Earth's surface in [[transition form|re-entry mode]]s, The Fallen accompanied them, destroying an [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71)|aircraft carrier]] as well as attacking several cities. As the aircraft carrier sank into the ocean, The Fallen quietly intoned that revenge was finally his. The Fallen tapped into Earth's communication network, and announced the presence of the Transformers on Earth on worldwide television, demanding the "human hive" hand over Sam or be destroyed.

[[File:ROTF Fallen headchop.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Can't. Take. Our. Sun. Unless you got buns, hon! And, oh man, he don't.]]
Unfortunately, Sam was in Egypt hunting for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] after being told it might be able to revive Optimus. He succeeded, but moments after Prime's resurrection, The Fallen appeared amongst the assorted NEST troops, scattering the soldiers, pinning Optimus and stealing the Matrix. He then teleported to the now uncovered harvester, and as he inserted the Matrix into the machine, he declared that his brothers had failed as he now claimed the Sun. While it charged, the humans attempted to destroy the harvester with their heavy weapons. Unimpressed with their display, The Fallen demonstrated his considerable power by destroying the attacking military forces with telekinesis, then raised a blockade of debris to prevent an air strike. However, a super-powered Optimus Prime, now fused with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]], destroyed the harvester and attacked The Fallen, sending them both falling to the ground below.

Enraged, The Fallen commanded Optimus to join his brothers in death and two engaged in a fierce duel, but it quickly became apparent that Optimus was strong enough to face The Fallen. Megatron attacked Optimus in an attempt to help his master, but was quickly overpowered and knocked out. The Fallen counterattacked Optimus, managing to rip off Prime's left rocket thruster and strike him in the face with it. However, Optimus eventually managed to impale The Fallen through the shoulder with his own spear, then demanded his face, tearing it off. The Fallen tried to flee, but Optimus Prime punched through his chest and ripped out his spark core, finally killing The Fallen.

Afterwards, a wounded and horrified Megatron fled with Starscream, and the Autobots and their allies declared victory. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|The Fallen's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]," "[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel]]" and "[[The Last Prime]]"; the "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]" and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; and the storybooks "[[I Am Optimus Prime (ROTF)|I Am Optimus Prime]]," "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]", "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Electronic Voice Changer]]" and "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Mix & Match]]." Most of these adaptations are based on early drafts of the script and provide more backstory for The Fallen, such as his hunt for the descendants of his brother Primes, and his promise to Megatron that he would make him a Prime—something Optimus exposes as a lie during their final battle, as one can only be born a Prime, leading Megatron to abandon his teacher. In several, Optimus defeats him not by killing him, but by [[:File:TheFallen-thrownintospace.jpg|hurling him into space]].}}

According to The Fallen, he and his brothers were the first creations of the [[AllSpark]]. The planet that would become [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was mostly barren, but as the AllSpark gradually shaped Cybertron around them and gave The Fallen and his brothers power beyond measure, the cube's own power was depleted. They learned that the its power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions using triangular "[[sarcophagus|sarcophagi]]". {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As he quested, The Fallen came to believe that the AllSpark was speaking to him, telling him of a grander destiny than that of his brothers, picking him as its "chosen one." {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}

To aid the Dynasty of Primes in their quest, the AllSpark created for them a race of [[Transformer|workers]] that had a power of their own: the ability to transform their bodies into new forms! Some, called "[[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]]", could change into interstellar crafts that could locate stars for them, the energies of which would then be harvested to power the AllSpark by massive devices built by the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|other workers]]. The Dynasty tempered their search with the rule of sparing stars with inhabited worlds, but The Fallen believed that the Dynasty's compassion would ultimately doom the Cybertronians to inevitable extinction. As he sought a way to fix this problem, The Fallen came to think evil thoughts. What if there were no other Primes to share the AllSpark with? What if its power was his alone? {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

[[File:JetfireROTF-TalesoftheFallen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I'm trustworthy!]]

The Fallen began to court some Transformers to his side. He selected a small number of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] drones to do his bidding in private, ultimately in service of subverting the Dynasty of Primes in favor of his own agenda. He called this group the Decepticons. [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]], The Fallen's most trusted and capable Seeker, began to unwittingly harvest the stars of inhabited star systems; the two would scan a system together, but The Fallen would report that his search areas were devoid of life. This practice got The Fallen and Jetfire into trouble with the other Primes, and so The Fallen began to sow seeds of mistrust in Jetfire. He claimed the Primes' refusal to sacrifice life to save their own planet would be its downfall, and that an army had to be readied in case the Primes betrayed them all. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen4-theyshallpay.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Yummy, yummy, yummy, I got hate in my tummy!]]

The Fallen attempted to build a Star Harvester on his own, powered by a counterfeit [[Matrix of Leadership]] he had constructed. However, it was unstable, and the resulting explosion infused The Fallen with power he had never known. He now burned with dark, unimaginable powers from within. The Fallen, feeling a darker sense of purpose that complemented his darker powers, traveled from world to world to world, killing scores of organisms and assimilating their technology, and leaving the dry husks of planets in his wake. He evolved, and during his ascension he planned for the eventual battle with his brothers. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}

As Jetfire joined the Decepticons, The Fallen took them to a planet named Earth, and they built a [[Star Harvester]] to claim the [[Sun]]. However, it, too, harbored life: The Fallen was building the harvester there to either bait his brothers into taking action (while he was prepared to kill them all) or to remain in limbo. Either way, he won! Jetfire finally turned against his master, just as the remaining Primes arrived, falling into the traitor's trap. The Fallen warped Jetfire and his other underlings away and faced his brothers alone. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen4-notlikethis.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Ever since he was a child, he was hated by triangles.]]

The battle between The Fallen and the other Primes was costly. They did not expect The Fallen to have so much power, and one by one they fell by his wretched hand. He had "expanded [his] consciousness—absorbed the mental mass of a hive intelligence seventy trillion strong, probed the neural functions of creatures that swim in unrefined thought..." Since last they met, he was "so much more" than they were. The Fallen was able to grab weapons from his stockpile through personal dimensional portals, and one by one he murdered his brothers until there was only one Prime left to oppose him. With one last desperate gamble, the final Prime fled, and he and The Fallen warped from location to location; The Fallen thought this Prime was merely stalling, but he was gravely mistaken. The final Prime had gathered up the bodies of his defeated brothers, and when at last he had collected them all and The Fallen was weak from overteleportation, he used their combined lifeforce to banish The Fallen forever. The Fallen was sent through his sarcophagus and trapped in another dimension, where he crashed into a desolate landscape, swearing revenge. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}{{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

Knowledge of this was lost through the ages, and the Dynasty of Primes became little more than a myth. Thousands of years later, however, The Fallen's sarcophagus was unearthed on modern-day Cybertron and brought to the quarters of the planet's military leader Megatron. There, sensing the fury and resentment, The Fallen established contact with Megatron, filling him with a new resolve to destroy those who sought out the AllSpark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} In the aftermath of Megatron's ruthless battle against a band of [[Ejoornian|aliens]] seeking the AllSpark, The Fallen further counseled him to seize control of Cybertron to make way for The Fallen's return. He also told him that [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] sought the AllSpark for himself, and Megatron immediately decided that Optimus and his followers deserved to be killed for this transgression. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

[[File:Defiance4 Megatron TheFallen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|left|All right, who changed the thermostat!?]]

But simply taking the planet would not be enough. The Fallen also ordered Megatron to build a [[Nemesis (Movie)|space cruiser]] to seek out the Matrix, which he said was a prerequisite to his return. As the ship's construction came to an end, The Fallen told Megatron the story of his origin and his plans regarding the harvester on Earth. The Fallen ordered Megatron to put his sarcophagus on the ship and then stay behind to fight Optimus's forces and safeguard the AllSpark. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and a majority of the Decepticon soldiers crewed the ship.
Meanwhile, on Cybertron, civil war raged between Optimus's Autobots and Megatron's Decepticons, a war which eventually led to the AllSpark being launched into space. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

The ''Nemesis'' came across the AllSpark's energon signature, to Soundwave's disbelief. The Fallen began speaking to Soundwave just as a [[Ark (DOTM)|ship]] crashed into the ''Nemesis'', and disappeared once more through a portal. After landing the ship on a dead planet, Soundwave was commanded to pursue the ship via the portal—that The Fallen recognized as a [[space bridge]]—it left behind. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}} Later, Megatron found the abandoned ''Nemesis'' during his pursuit of the AllSpark. He once again spoke with The Fallen, who was furious that Megatron had taken this detour. He ordered him to resume the chase immediately, confident that the Cube would guide them to the harvester. Megatron obeyed, leaving the sarcophagus in the barren wreckage. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

Thousands of years later, Soundwave returned, having recovered a space bridge [[pillar]] from the Autobot ship. The Fallen informed Soundwave of Megatron's visit, and Soundwave deduced Megatron was one of the Cybertronians rumored to held captive by the humans, prompting him to return. The Fallen then used the pillar to warp space and time, leaving his prison at last... {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

====''Transformers: The Movie Universe''====
The original Transformers, all of them Primes, were united by a directive that safeguarded all life, and as such they refused to utilize the harvester on the inhabited Earth. One of their number, however, decided "I want Energon!" and slaughtered his brothers so he could harvest the Sun. He threw away his original name and became the Fallen. In the end, he slaughtered all of his brethren, but they were still able to imprison him in a pocket dimension and save the Earth. In the process, his appearance had changed to a terrifying, cage-like exostructure burning with chaotic energies from the universe's creation, forces that had purged him of all morality. Since his body was never meant to contain the unholy power flowing through it, he had to steadily vent that energy to ensure his own continued existence. This created the visual effect of a constant fiery nimbus.

While effectively harmless to the universe outside his prison, his powers remained vast: He could generate space bridges spontaneously, as well as focus his energies into discrete blasts that could unmake creation itself. Were he ever able to escape, he would be a supremely powerful danger. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|The Movie Universe}}

Their task was to harvest Energon for the AllSpark without endangering alien life, but the Fallen cared nothing for the [[Human|puny meatsacks]] of Earth and tried to harvest the Sun! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|The Fallen Profile}} His duped servant Jetfire watched in horror as the Fallen imprisoned the other six Primes! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Jetfire Profile}} However, the Primes still managed to sacrifice themselves to hide the Creation Matrix, key to the AllSpark, while the Fallen was imprisoned in a pocket dimension on one of Saturn's moons... until Megatron released him! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|The Fallen Profile}}

[[File:Titan1 FallenStarscream.jpg|upright=3|thumb|Behold my <s>resting</s> mighty hand!]]

Soon after Megatron's death in Mission City, The Fallen made contact with [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and used him to organise the Decepticon army and lay the groundwork for his return. He ordered Starscream and his forces to go to Cybertron and await further instruction, and promised that once the Matrix was found, [[Earth]] would ''burn''! Unfortunately for The Fallen, Autobot twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] learned the Starscream was colluding with The Fallen (though not who or what The Fallen ''was''), and headed for Earth to warn Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Training Day}} The Fallen had [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] contact one of his Seekers still on the planet, [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], and had him dispatched him to deal with the Twins. He angrily warned Starscream not to fail again, grrrr! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}} However, due to his imprisonment, the Fallen could only communicate with his generals and not Ransack directly, which led to Soundwave taking his own actions and working his own angles to try and find the Tomb of the Primes, which included recruiting the Twins, rather than eliminating them. In a fitting act of cosmic irony, the twins turned out to be faking their defection, and they put an end to Soundwave's treacherous scheme. Ransack intended to inform the Fallen, but evidently never made it, while Skids and Mudflap decided that, after all the trouble they had gotten in to after coming to Earth, they'd better not telling anyone about that whole "Fallen" thing they'd learned about after all. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

Sensing the loss of his servants, The Fallen summoned a new army of Decepticons (including [[Blue Maximus]], [[Chopsaw]], [[Undertow (PCC)|Undertow]], and [[Duststorm (TF 2010)|Duststorm]]) to terrorise Earth!

====''The Covenant of Primus''====
[[File:MegatronusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|To have a helmet as good as this will cost you your soul...and also ten cents.]]

Megatronus was the twelfth Prime created by Primus to defeat [[Unicron]]. Rightfully proud of his power and unwaveringly loyal to his creator [[Primus]], he thought of himself as a warrior first and foremost, but his dark powers and conflicted nature meant that he was rarely at peace with himself. His artifact of power—the deadly [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]]—used stellar fusion as an energy conduit, exponentially increasing his already destructive powers. Viewing himself as an outsider, he frequently butted heads with the warrior of light [[Prima]], to the point where even his closest allies among the Thirteen viewed him as an unpredictable and unstable presence. In spite of this, he struck up a close friendship with Solus Prime, which eventually blossomed into a mutual romance. Not even Solus Prime's comforting presence could rein in Megatronus' chaotic tendencies; his private insecurities and hidden fears continued to fester, and soon gave way to something darker.

The thirteen newly created Primes soon began experimenting with their powers and strategizing for the upcoming conflict. Megatronus considered himself a warrior and trained alongside Vector Prime, Prima, [[Onyx Prime]], and [[Amalgamous Prime|Amalgamous]]. Megatronus, having the closest connection to Unicron, offered advice to Solus Prime on how to create the best weapons to defeat the chaos-bringer. Among their collaborative efforts were [[Dark Energon skin]]s, which would protect the Primes from the toxic [[Dark Energon]]. Megatronus eventually requested that a blaster be made for him by Solus Prime. She reluctantly agreed, and the Requiem Blaster was forged. Solus had doubts about the weapon, but her deep faith in Megatronus was what allowed her to trust him with the Blaster.

[[File:COP-Megatronusshootssolus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|"How could this happen? We started out like Romeo and Juliet but it ended up in tragedy!"]]

When the fight against Unicron came, Megatronus fought alongside his siblings, and was ultimately triumphant. However, some of Unicron's darkness had rubbed off on all of them; a fact that Megatronus strangely appeared to revel in. In the era of peace and rebuilding that followed, Megatrous worked alongside [[Liege Maximo]], [[Micronus Prime]], and Amalgmous Prime, refining [[Energon]] for future use. He slowly befriended more of the Thirteen, although his love for Solus Prime never faded.

Unfortunately, this period of peace was not to last. Megatronus and Solus Prime were both being manipulated by Liege Maximo, who managed to drive a schism between the two lovers. Megatronus confronted Solus Prime over a newly created suit of armor intended for Maximo's "farm". Their disagreement eventually grew into a full-fledged fight after Megatronus killed her pet, which had secretly been recording Solus Prime's actions. In the chaos, Megatronus fired the Requiem Blaster without thinking, fatally wounding Solus Prime. Before Solus passed away, however, she professed her love for him.

Megatronus hid himself away in the untamed regions of Cybertron, until the surviving Primes discovered him. Megatronus confessed his crime, but also accused Maximo of setting up the whole plot, and aimed to kill him once and for all. The accusations flew quickly, and before long the argument descended into a free-for-all. In the aftermath, Liege Maximo was apparently blown apart by a shot from the Requiem Blaster, although [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]] could not identify just who had fired the weapon. Along with the surviving Primes, a repentant Megatronus attended Solus's funeral. Renaming himself "the Fallen", he donned Solus Prime's suit of armor and went into exile in space, never to be seen again.

Eons later, a young gladiator and social rhetorician named [[Megatron (WFC)|D-16]] took inspiration from ancient folk tales, renaming himself "Megatronus". {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

====Aligned novels====
Megatronus conceived the idea of the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]], a weapon so powerful that it dwarfed all other weapons in existence. With great reluctance, Solus Prime agreed to forge the weapon for Megatronus, and even then only after Megatronus convinced other members of the Thirteen to petition her on his behalf as well. Even after the weapon was completed, Solus Prime showed great reluctance in allowing it to remain in existence. After demonstrating its awesome power to the Thirteen, she asked for a vote as to whether the Requiem Blaster should be destroyed. Megatronus led the group who voted in favor of retaining the Blaster, and they won by the slimmest of margins, 7-to-6.

At some later date, Megatronus killed Solus Prime in a fit of rage, and became the Fallen, forever more. The reason for the murder is not fully known at this point, although Solus did favor [[Nexus Prime]] over others in the Thirteen, a fact that had stirred jealousy in Megatronus in the past. Though a terrible thing, Vector Prime considered the Fallen lashing out in a moment of anger forgivable over Liege Maximo's active plotting. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

Megatron, who took his name to inspire fear, took a favorable view of the Fallen, considering him the one member of the Thirteen who refused to bow down to the others, and the only Prime who sought his own destiny. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

In the distant past, Megatronus killed Solus Prime. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}} He was eventually imprisoned in another dimension, and held both [[Earth]] and Cybertron responsible for his defeat. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}} He maintained a degree of agency over the events in this world, and he was able to influence events so that the prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' crash-landed on Earth, releasing its cargo of [[Decepticon]] convicts in the process. From there, Megatronus bided his time. Eventually, he contacted the Decepticon revolutionary [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], who had just suffered a humiliating rout at the hands of [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s [[Autobot]]s. Introducing himself as "the first Decepticon", Megatronus struck a bargain with Steeljaw: if Steeljaw helped free him from his prison, Megatronus would let Steeljaw and his gang have the Earth. Steeljaw reluctantly agreed. {{storylink|Lockout}}

[[File:RID-Megatronus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|caption|Kitty ears of DOOM.]]

Megatronus interrupted Steeljaw while the latter was scheming, demanding to know if they had made progress on the device that would allow him to escape. Steeljaw retorted that he needed more Decepticons to help him with the task, but Megatronus was less than moved, using his telekinetic powers to make [[Clampdown (RID)|Clampdown]] pull on his arm hard until Steeljaw capitulated. Megatronus informed his new servant that the device would require a mass of sufficient metal to anchor the energies generated by his arrival- namely, the [[Crown City Colossus]]. Although the Autobots, accompanied with a reborn [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], attempted to intervene, their efforts weren't enough to stop Steeljaw from activating the portal. A triumphant Megatronus materialized, ready to carry out his plan. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}}

[[File:Battlegrounds2-Megatronus.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"I'll show you the dark side." "You may try, but you cannot deny the truth that is your family." "You're so right.".]]

Megatronus moved to attack the weakened Autobots, but was intercepted by Optimus, and the two began dueling. Megatronus gained the upper hand and managed to slash at Optimus, knocking him into the water and temporarily taking him out of the fight. Megatronus retieved his fallen [[Spark fuser]] and activated it, intending to draw the remnants of [[Unicron]]'s anti-[[spark]] from the Earth's core and merge it with the AllSpark, destroying both Earth and Cybertron. When Steeljaw realized this, Megatronus retorted that the had never technically lied to him about his right to own Earth... or whatever would be left of it. Megatronus restrained the furious Steeljaw with his telekinesis and opened a rift in the sky.

[[File:RID-megatronustank.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Megatronus deploys his dreaded drill-nipples.]]

Fighting Steeljaw distracted Megatronus long enough for Bumblebee to resuscitate Optimus, and the two Autobot leaders moved in to finish him off after Megatronus hurled Steeljaw away. While Optimus once again dueled with Megatronus, Bumblebee, [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] used their [[Decepticon Hunter]]s to power themselves up. Optimus managed to shatter Megatronus's Spark fuser, closing the rift and ruining his plan. Furious, Megatronus redoubled his attack. [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] helped to drop part of the Colossus on Megatronus. The weight of the statue was enough that Bumblebee's team could blast him with a sustained burst of energy, disintegrating his body and seemingly destroying him, though Bumblebee questioned if he truly was destroyed. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}}

With Optimus Prime seemingly defeated, The Fallen and the Decepticons journeyed to Egypt, where he uncovered the Star Harvester from inside the Great Pyramid of Giza and commenced his plans to destroy the Sun. However, the last of the Primes had survived his battle with Megatron and now revealed to the enraged Decepticon leader that The Fallen had betrayed him. The Fallen's promise to Megatron that he would make his student a Prime would never be fulfilled, as Primes were born, not made. Megatron demanded what he had been promised, but the Fallen, disgusted with the creature that he no longer needed, attacked. Righteous indignation fueled Megatron through this battle, and ultimately, he ended The Fallen's mastery over the Decepticons by impaling him through his head and letting the corpse fall into the depths of the Star Harvester. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

Optimus Prime had survived his battle with Megatron and merged with the parts of Jetfire, and now this new, powered-up form faced the might of The Fallen at the Great Pyramid. Optimus's ancestor mocked this young upstart who dared to face his elder, telekinetically throwing debris at the Autobot, summoning great bursts of energy from the ground, and unleashing an army of Decepticon drones. However, Optimus Prime's new armour more than enabled him to survive this onslaught, and as he rained energy slugs into The Fallen, the ancient Cybertronian called out to Megatron for help, but to no avail, for his student had since learned of The Fallen's treachery. Optimus ended The Fallen's reign of terror by impaling him through his head and letting the corpse fall into the depths of the Star Harvester. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

==Notes==
===Generation 1===
[[File:Fallenpatlee.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|I'm The Fallen, and I can't get up!]]
*The Fallen was created by [[Simon Furman]] for [[Dreamwave Productions]]' ''[[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|War Within: The Dark Ages]]'' comic book. Furman used him to recycle some of the plans he had for the [[Last Autobot]] in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|original Marvel comic]], but which he was unable to use as a result of the comic's cancellation.<ref>[http://www.camphortree.net/tf/tidbits/otfcc2004.txt OTFCC 2004 convention report]</ref>
*The Fallen design was created by [[Pat Lee]], his first (and only) original Transformers character. The early design concept differed incredibly from the final product, noticeably lacking The Fallen's characteristic mouthplate. He was envisioned as a medieval, ancient-looking Transformer who glowed like a furnace, but he was not depicted as being perpetually on fire until [[Andrew Wildman]] penciled his appearances in ''The Dark Ages'' and the colorists caught on. When questioned about him constantly being aflame, Furman responded that they went with it "because it looks cool."
[[File:Thefallentank.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|The Judasmobile.]]
*Though Lee designed a tank alternate mode for The Fallen, which was shown in the profile series ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'', it was never used in-fiction. Similarly, The Fallen is said to have ''no'' alternate mode in IDW's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics, and he does not actually transform in the film or the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'' cartoons.
*Very little of The Fallen's backstory was given in his first fictional appearances, leaving much of ''The Dark Ages'' somewhat confusing on its own. Helpful inserts from ''More Than Meets The Eye'' and Dorling Kindersley's ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'', published around the same time, spelled out more. Eventually, the packaging profile printed on his Titanium figure gave the rest. Oh, and then years later, he was the titular villain of a summer blockbuster film.
*The proper treatment of his name, with its capital-T "The", is established both in the comics and the ''Ultimate Guide''. The one dissenting source is his on-package [[bio]], which simply calls him "'''Fallen'''" (as in, "'''Fallen''' forgot his real name long ago"). The reason for this awkward treatment is unknown, though the usual culprits behind toy-name oddities—[[trademark]] issues—are suspected.
*The Fallen can speak Spanish.<ref>Fanclub-exclusive Mini Mayhem strip, March 19, 2007</ref>
[[File:TFGenerations2014 Rejected TheFallen.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85]]
*The Fallen's appearance in the ''Train Wars'' manga is based on a mock-up created for a poll in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014]]'' Vol. 1, one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. A redeco of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Onslaught (WFC)#Generations|Onslaught]], it would have featured the [[Ruination (FOC)|Ruination]] head in combiner mode, but ultimately only claimed 5% of the votes.<ref>[http://millionhero.sblo.jp/article/101898683.html Poll results at Hero-X]</ref>
*In the [[2005 IDW continuity]], Megatronus's design is based on [[Megatron (Movie)|the live-action incarnation of Megatron]].
*Megatronus was again redesigned for the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'' cartoons, amalgamating elements of his incarnations from the Aligned continuity (enlarged shoulders, fusion cannons), ''Revenge of the Fallen'' (glowing red accents, an Egyptian-crown-like head) and Dreamwave (his blocky shape, lots of fire). This design would reappear in ''Forged to Fight'', which also revealed his alternate mode to be a Cybertronian jet like his movie counterpart.

===''Revenge of the Fallen''===
*Michael Bay attempted to hide The Fallen's involvement in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', going so far as to claim that statements made by Simon Furman at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2008<ref>[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17412 Simon Furman confirms The Fallen is a character in an interview with Comic Book Resources (Fallen details removed)]</ref> and [[Chris Mowry]] in an interview with MTV Splash Page <ref>[http://splashpage.mtv.com/2008/07/28/exclusive-transformers-2-prequel-comic-gives-inside-scoop-on-2009-movie/ MTV Splash Page interviews Chris Mowry (Fallen details removed)]</ref> were part of a disinformation campaign, and that only a small number of people had seen the script.<ref>[http://www.shootfortheedit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=44729&postcount=2 A post made by Michael Bay on his forum]</ref> On August 5, 2008, after a fan posted on Michael Bay's forum pointing out that several IDW representatives had said they had the script, all references to The Fallen were removed from the aforementioned interviews, as well as any references to IDW Publishing having the script.
*Voice actor [[James Arnold Taylor]] was originally cast as The Fallen in the film version of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' (which led to him getting the same role in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Revenge of the Fallen: The Game]]''), but was replaced by [[Tony Todd]] in the final edit of the film, to his disappointment. [[Leonard Nimoy]] was also considered for the role, but did not get it on the basis Bay feared Nimoy would have been paid too little money.{{fact}}
[[File:TheFallen-ROTFstaff.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Give him the stick! Don't give him the stick!]]
*The Fallen's "Command Staff" (also known as the "[[Void Scepter]]"<ref>[http://www2.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/characters/the-fallen The Fallen's bio at Hasbro.com]</ref>) seemed to be a later addition to the film, as the staff made no appearances in secondary fiction and was not included with The Fallen's original toy releases. The later Voyager class figure includes said staff, and the toy's hands were retooled to be able to hold it.
*[[Paul Ozzimo]] and [[Josh Nizzi]] designed Earth modes for The Fallen to take on in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', but like many of the Decepticons he does not assume one in the finished film. Ozzimo clarified on his website he was to turn into an {{w|Aurora (aircraft)|Aurora}} stealth bomber, the alleged modern replacement for the [[Jetfire (Movie)|SR-71 Blackbird]].
*Various on-package [[Hasbro]] [[bio]]s for the Fallen in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline utilize the derogatory term "flesh slugs" for humanity; the term originally appeared in the same manner in the 1980s ''[[Inhumanoids]]'' cartoon, based on another toyline by Hasbro.
*The Fallen was originally going to be ''huge'' in ''Revenge of the Fallen'': the novelization describes him as making Optimus look like an infant, and ''Defiance'' issue 4 depicts him as about the size of a pyramid. In the finished film, Fallen is only slightly bigger than Optimus and Megatron, and ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe]]'' clarifies he is 42 feet tall.
*Michael Bay doesn't actually like the Fallen, calling him "kind of a (expletive) character".<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2010-06-11-Transformers11_ST_N.htm?csp=usat.me USA Today, "Next 'Transformers' is due for a switch"]</ref>
*In early drafts of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', the Fallen doesn't appear in person until the climax, communicating with Megatron aboard the ''Nemesis'' via an interdimensional window. This led to the [[sarcophagus]] storyline in the comics, where only discovering the harvester's location would free him. When dropped from the film to give the character more screentime, it led to a massive plot hole in the comic storyline that was only resolved two years later by [[John Barber]] in ''[[Transformers: Convergence|Convergence]]''.

===Aligned===
*Until the ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon introduced Megatronus as the "first Decepticon" (an idea taken from the live-action Fallen), the Aligned version of the character had no direct connection to the Decepticons in his backstory. He has, however, always had a helmet shaped like their insignia, an idea that also comes from the live-action film character.
*Megatronus's cartoon robot mode is a mishmash of his prior incarnations. He has the general blockiness and tank vehicle mode from the ''[[War Within (comic)|War Within]]'' comics, and his four-lined visor resembles the slots on that Fallen's faceplate. In addition to his status as "the first Decepticon" and his Decepticon-insignia-shaped helmet, he also features the movie character's telekinetic powers and similar forearm [[kibble]], though said kibble is actually put to use as [[fusion cannon]]-like arm weapons.
*Despite not appearing again after the first-season finale of ''Robots in Disguise'', [[Adam Beechen]] stated in a deleted blog that he survived his apparent destruction but left his fate beyond that in the air.

===Fun Publications===
*The Evil One being an incarnation of The Fallen was inspired by an edit of this very page back in 2012 noting the similarity. Although removed soon afterwards, it eventually became canon a few years later.<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/129168-out-of-printhard-to-find-media-mega-thread/page-9#entry3440904 Post by Verity Carlo on the Allspark Forums, 2017/02/12]</ref>
