'''Germany''' is a country within [[Europe]], and a [[NATO]] member-state. It had a tough old life in the 20th Century, what with a major war in the 1910s, being overrun by [[Cobra]] and then, from [[1945]] to <s>[[2011]]</s> [[1990]], being split into the democratic West Germany and the [[Soviet Union]] allied East Germany.

It is bordered by [[Belgium]], the [[Netherlands]], [[Switzerland|Switz]], [[France]], [[Ciech]], [[Poland]], and [[Austria]].

====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
[[File:Europa 2000.jpg|left|thumb|Oh, well close enough.]]
Germany was found on a map made to show the route of the [[Europa 2000]], with the geographic borders being a ''slightly'' inaccurate depiction of real-life Germany's geography at that time. (For that matter, its division into East and West Germany, later alluded to in the [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon]], is not shown.) {{storylink|Trans-Europe Express}}

====''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon====
The Decepticon [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmasters]] [[Buster (Masterforce)|Buster]] and [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]] were both born in East Germany.

The Autobot Godmasters once searched Germany as a possible location for the last Godmaster. {{storylink|Assemble! The Four Godmaster Gunmen}}

When the Decepticons unleashed a full onslaught on Earth, Hydra and Buster targeted West Germany as part of a plan to split up the Autobot forces. [[Lightfoot (Masterforce)|Lightfoot]] and [[Road King]] took them on. {{storylink|God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base}}

===Young Corgi continuity===
West Germany would presumably be part of the [[Federation of Western Europe]], in the near future of [[2000]]. {{storylink|Battle Beneath the Ice}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[Rolf Myer]], a chemist from [[Berlin]], was part of the [[Ark II]] crew. Now he's ash in the atmosphere! {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 1|Prime Directive #1}}

===''Transformers/G.I. Joe''===
Germany was briefly conquered by the might of [[Cobra]] and their Decepticon allies in [[1938]]. {{storylink|Transformers/G.I. Joe}}

===''Cybertron'' cartoon===
The German folklore tale of [[Lorelei]] and the {{w|Nix}}, a Germanic equivalent of the legendary sirens, turned out to be based on the Decepticon [[Thunderblast (Decepticon)|Thunderblast]]. {{storylink|United}}

===Live-action film series===
====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film====
Germany was the first government to confirm to the media that [[the Fallen]]'s blackmail message was a satellite hijack. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

====Titan movie comics====
During [[1918]], as part of the [[World War I|First World War]], Germany was involved in naval warfare against the [[United States of America]]. Apparently the Germans had some ''damn'' impressive airplanes, because [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] was automatically assumed to be a German weapon! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.15|Making Waves}}

====IDW movie comics====
During the [[World War II|Second World War]], Nazi Germany captured [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] and reverse-engineered him at [[Castle Neuschwanstein]] to create transforming war machines of their own. They'd just completed their ultimate weapon, the [[Panzer-Giganten]], when a [[Sector Seven]] commando team raided the castle and freed Jetfire. Neuschwanstein was destroyed and everyone involved in the project killed, leaving Germany with no chance of restarting the project. {{storylink|Weapon (issue)|Weapon}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
[[Merklynn|Garrison Kreiger]] claimed that he was descended from German immigrants to hide the truth behind his [[Prysmosian]] origins. {{storylink|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook issue 2|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook #2}} {{storylink|Schismatic}} During World War II, Germany was part of the Axis powers and occupied the nation of [[Kalistan]]. Discovering a hidden cache of [[IRON Trooper|robotic soldiers]] from an [[Axalon (BW)|unknown source]], the Germans used them as troops. Their presence on the battlefield was the cause of some bafflement on the part of [[Sgt. Savage]] and his [[Screaming Eagles]]. {{storylink|The Secret of the Mummy's Tomb}}

In the modern day, [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]]'s original Earth [[alternate mode]] was a German car, {{storylink|The Hanging Sword}} {{storylink|The Gift Horse}} specifically a classic Volkswagen Beetle, also nicknamed a "Bug". {{storylink|Infiltration issue 3|Infiltration #3}}

Later, [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]] and [[Aileron]] briefly visited Germany as part of the Autobots' international peacekeeping efforts. {{storylink|Concorde Hymn}}

==Notes==
[[File:Holgerfath.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|He loves us, each and every one.]]
* Germany is responsible for the glory of [[Holger Fath]]!
* German selective dog breeding brought us the German Shepherd in [[1899]], the [[alternate mode]] of [[K-9]].
* [[Condor Verlag]] reprinted Marvel stories in Germany, along with a variety of rather odd original text stories.
