Popular beast alternate modes

[[File:Class06-toy Grimlock.jpg|thumb|upright=2|There's more of these than you'd think.]]
Earth is a planet literally teeming with organic life forms. Millions of genera, of all shapes and sizes, inhabit the planet, and a [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] might scan any of them for a potential [[alternate mode]]. Some genera, however, are extremely popular with Cybertronians.

{{SITENAME}} has certain requirements for an animal to be listed here. There must be at least '''three unique toy molds''' (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share the [[beast mode]]. There must also be at least '''one unique character per mold'''—a single character getting numerous revamps in similar bodies over the years would not count as a "popular mode."

Each mold is listed on its own line, with all different-character decoes/[[retool]]s on the same line. The list is (more or less) organized in chronological order of toy release or fictional appearance.

Brimstone (Cybertron)

2026-04-18T22:58:46Z

E198517: /* Cybertron */

{{factions|jungleplanet|decepticon|autobot}}
{{disambig3|Brimstone}}
:''Brimstone is an [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Animatron]]ian [[Decepticon]] turned [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family]].''

[[File:Brimstone-card.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|DEATH FROM ABOVE!! DEATH FROM ABOVE!!]]
'''Brimstone''' isn't much for thinking. He's more comfortable taking orders from his leader [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]], but when left on his own, would rather simply follow [[Undermine (Cybertron)|Undermine]]'s lead. He really enjoys his position as one of Scourge's right-claw mechs, since it gives him an unrivaled opportunity to beat people up without reprisal.

About the only thing Brimstone's brain is good for is playing [[Cybertronian games#Praxus Fold 'Em|Praxus Fold 'Em]]. He and Undermine typically play during quiet nights in the [[Hyperborea (Cybertron)|Jungle Temple]], with chores as the high stakes.

==Fiction==
===''Cybertron'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Terry Klassen]] (English), [[Yasuyuki Kase]] (Japanese)|[[Ari Wirta]] (Finnish, unknown episodes), [[Joonas Suominen]] (Finnish, episodes 43 - 51), [[Jeong Myeong-jun]] (Korean), [[José Granadillo]] (Latin-American Spanish, episode 17), [[Rolman Bastidas]] (Latin-American Spanish, episode 21)}}
[[File:Cyb ep20 great wars.jpg|left|thumb|Lord of the Lobsters]]
Brimstone was a denizen of [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Jungle Planet]], one of [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]]'s acolytes who joined him during his quest to enforce peace on Jungle Planet by any means necessary. {{storylink|Honor}} In the present, he attended to Scourge's needs at the Jungle Temple. Although Brimstone missed [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s arrival, he was present to observe a sparring match between Megatron and Scourge, and was impressed by the Decepticon's control and power. {{storylink|Deep}} Later, Brimstone was going for a walk in the park with his friends when some [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|loudmouthed Humvee]] had to challenge Scourge's strength. Never a good idea. {{storylink|Race}} Brimstone and [[Undermine (Cybertron)|Undermine]] watched eagerly as Scourge pounded on Overhaul and didn't notice [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]] sneak off to help the interloper. When Overhaul returned for a second match, Scourge initially said he couldn't be bothered to fight the Autobot. He changed his tune after Brimstone and Undermine were battered aside by Overhaul as proof of his worthiness in battle. {{storylink|Detour (episode)|Detour}}

When [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] arrived on Jungle Planet, Brimstone journeyed out to confront the Autobot leader with Scourge. Unwilling to negotiate with anyone who hadn't proved their strength in battle, Scourge demanded that the Autobots and Decepticons fight before he heard any more about the Cyber Planet Key quest. Brimstone and Undermine kept Snarl and [[Backstop (Cybertron)|Backstop]] out of the contest at first, but soon it broke into a free-for-all with the Jungle Planet residents each aiding the Autobot and Decepticon camps. {{storylink|Savage}} As Scourge's entourage met the Autobots again in a narrow canyon, Brimstone matched his vanadium wing blades against Backstop's horn. {{storylink|Sand}}

As Optimus Prime came to Scourge's temple to once again ask for the Cyber Planet Key, Brimstone watched guardedly from the sidelines. The Jungle Planet warriors openly mocked Optimus for his refusal to fight for what he wanted and for battling with his own arm in [[Optimus Prime Super Modes#Unicron Trilogy|Savage Claw Mode]], as [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Leobreaker]] bristled for combat. Later on, Brimstone and Undermine tried to prevent Backstop from entering the temple until Scourge granted his old sensei an audience. It seemed Optimus Prime had changed his mind and would now meet Scourge for battle at a time and place of his choosing. {{storylink|Honor}} Brimstone and Undermine aided Scourge as he began to train vigorously for the match. He had himself chained to the temple pillars while still fighting off attacks by his subordinates. Eventually, Brimstone and Undermine called it quits, because even a handicapped Scourge was too much for them. Once Prime arrived at the temple, he introduced them to the ambassadors from other worlds threatened by the black hole: [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]] of [[Velocitron]] and [[Lori Jiménez|Lori]] of [[Earth]]. Brimstone was curious about the pint-sized creature and moved in for a closer look. {{storylink|Primal (Cybertron)|Primal}}

After Optimus Prime defeated Scourge in battle, he claimed the Cyber Planet Key, but allowed Scourge to remain the ruler of Jungle Planet. Scourge, Brimstone, and Undermine remained uninvolved in the conflict that followed as the Decepticons attempted to steal back the Cyber Planet Key from the Autobots. {{storylink|Trust (Cybertron)|Trust}}

As [[Primus]] continued his efforts to hold back the expansion of the black hole, Brimstone, Undermine, and Backstop were seen warily regarding the singularity from Jungle Planet. {{storylink|City}} The black hole's spatial turbulence had begun to upset the local weather and environment of various planets it threatened. On the already unstable Jungle Planet, the effects were even more pronounced, and Brimstone had trouble even staying aloft during a massive monsoon. He was struck by lightning in mid-air and would've tumbled into an open lava vein if Backstop hadn't leapt over the crevasse and caught him as he fell. Brimstone gave thanks to the elderly rhinoceros, but mused darkly about whether he'd ever get the chance to return the favor before the universe came to an end. {{storylink|Challenge}}

When Galvatron claimed the full power of the Omega Lock and the four Cyber Planet Keys, he communed with the black hole itself and decided to make Jungle Planet his first target. Tendrils of dark energy pulled the entire planet through the Space Bridge to the site of the black hole. This had cataclysmic results for the planet, and Brimstone passed along the favor Backstop did him earlier by saving Undermine from a nasty fall into the lava. (He did drop a few snarky comments about the spinosaurus's weight, though.) All was not lost, however, as Scourge returned to lead his people to safety, and they escaped the dying planet aboard the ''[[Ogygia (Cybertron)|Ogygia]]'' and the newly rediscovered starship of Jungle Planet, the ''[[Hyperborea (Cybertron)|Hyperborea]]''. Scourge rallied Brimstone and his warrior-like people to the Autobot cause, and they all pledged themselves to defend Cybertron and the universe at Optimus Prime's command. {{storylink|Homecoming (episode)|Homecoming}}

[[File:Thunderblast-Giant.jpg|right|thumb|It's ''Jurassic Park 3'' all over again!]]
In the fight against Galvatron's minions, Brimstone and Undermine attacked the super-sized [[Thunderblast (Decepticon)|Thunderblast]]. They might have stood a chance if they hadn't called her a cow. A ''boy'' cow. Not smart. {{storylink|End}} After Galvatron was defeated and the black hole closed, Brimstone and the denizens of Jungle Planet worked alongside the Autobots to construct planetary thrusters to move their world back through the Space Bridge and into its normal orbit again. {{storylink|Unfinished}}

Life after the black hole settled into a new routine. A championship of strength was held to re-establish the proper leadership of Jungle Planet, and Brimstone and Undermine cheered from the sidelines as Scourge defeated Leobreaker and rescued his rule of their homeworld. They were slightly chagrined, however, when they heard Scourge declare there would be no more meaningless fighting. Perhaps at Scourge's request, Brimstone joined the Space Bridge project aboard the ''[[Lemuria (Cybertron)|Lemuria]]'' under [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]]'s command, representing Jungle Planet. Although he still seemed a bit contemptuous of those who couldn't fly, Brimstone allowed himself to be shooed away by [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] and joined up with Undermine before the launch of the starships towards their new destiny. {{storylink|Beginning}}

: As part of the [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Jungle Planet]] theme, Brimstone transforms into a robotic ''Pteranodon''. Plugging a [[Cyber Key]] into his back releases a pair of spring-loaded blades from his wings, a gimmick available in both modes.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Galaxy Force'' "Terashaver" and the Hasbro ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' "Brimstone" have a variety of small color differences between very similar looks, mostly the core body's tone: Terrashaver has a more neutral-gray-tinted body, where Brimstone's body leans more towards tan-gray. And of course, Brimstone's Cyber Key has a [[Cyber Key Codes|Cyber Key Code]] stamped on its back that Terrashaver's lacks.

: This toy also provided inspiration for the non-toy ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' incarnation of [[Swoop (SG)|Swoop]].

==Notes==
* A preliminary Japanese name for the character used identical katakana to the Japanese name for ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' '''[[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]]''', perhaps indicating an early intent for the character. On Hasbro's end, Brimstone's name was still undecided quite late in development, with the toy simply having the working name of "Flying Dino".<ref>{{citesocial|quote=A mysterious document. 神秘の文書。|link=https://x.com/tfwiki/status/1122035675560325125|name=Monzo|site=Twitter|year=2019|month=04|day=27}}</ref>

The '''Constructicons''' are a group of Decepticons that take the form of various construction vehicles, many sharing alternate modes, [[body-type]]s and even names. Constructicons have been built since the dawn of the Transformer race, and used to be considered simple [[drone]]s.<ref>[[Tales of the Fallen issue 3|''Tales of the Fallen'' #3]]</ref>

Unlike previous continuities, it seems as if only ''some'', not all, of the Constructicons are [[combiner]]s. They combine into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]].

[[NEST]] followed Demolishor to [[Shanghai]], [[China]], and he was executed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

After the [[AllSpark]] shard was retrieved from NEST's secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]], and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. They were eventually joined by [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]], carrying [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] and an [[AllSpark]] fragment. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dived down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of Scrapmetal to rebuild Megatron, a request that Long Haul and Mixmaster readily granted. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

[[File:Constructicons-ROTFcanyon.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|You'd better have a good reason for bringing us here!]]
[[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]], [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]], another Long Haul, and a [[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|yellow dump truck]] waited in a quarry near the [[Egypt]]ian [[pyramid]]s for the arrival of [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]], [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], another Mixmaster, and a [[Unknown Constructicon shovel|second bulldozer]], and they combined into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. Devastator battled [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], before climbing up the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] to excavate the [[Star Harvester]] within. Devastator was blown up by an experimental [[rail gun]] fired by the [[USS Kidd|USS ''Kidd'']].

Elsewhere during [[Operation: Firestorm]], Rampage, Long Haul, Mixmaster, and a non-combiner Scrapper hunted for [[Sam Witwicky]] in an abandoned town. Rampage was ordered by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to spring a trap by demanding Sam hand over the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in exchange for his captive parents [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky|Judy]], but [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] attacked and killed him. [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] killed Mixmaster, while the others died in a bombing raid by the [[United States Air Force]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
{{note|The Constructicons' involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel "[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel]]" and the storybook "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Electronic Voice Changer]]".}}

===IDW comics===
[[File:Defiance4 Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|The Constructicons build a monument to their manhood.]]
In the distant past, the [[AllSpark]] Cube created the [[Dynasty of Primes]], a race of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the AllSpark's 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. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

The "builder" workers were among the very first of these new beings, who would construct a [[Star Harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the AllSpark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} The Primes ruled harvesters could not be used on a sun that replenished life, but one of them began to defy this rule and gathered together a few rogue "construction drones" and a [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] to secretly harvest suns and ignoring the genocide they caused. The other Primes found out and followed them to [[Earth]], and [[The Fallen]] Prime teleported his servants elsewhere, but the Seeker [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] turned on the builders and killed them. {{Storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}}

It is assumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, the remaining builders sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of their only surviving ancient master, The Fallen. In Megatron's [[Decepticon]] army, they became known as the Constructicons. In at least one battle, [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] was present. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2|Tales of the Fallen #2}}

There were many Constructicons aboard the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', as they were needed to excavate the harvester. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] did not consider them smart enough to be allowed on the bridge. When the ''Nemesis'' and ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' collided, Soundwave had them placed in the cargo hold of the ''[[Longshot (DOTM)|Longshot]]'' when they gave pursuit of the Autobot ship. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}} When they returned to the ''Nemesis'', the Constructicons grumbled at almost immediately having to return to [[Earth]], so Soundwave placed them in stasis. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

During the war, [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] destroyed an [[Autobot]] colony guarded by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], who swore revenge and tracked him to [[Buenos Aires]], Argentina.

Some of the Constructicons combined into Devastator and revealed the star harvester hidden beneath a pyramid. Devastator was destroyed by a prototype [[rail gun]] soon afterwards.

===''The Veiled Threat''===
The Constructicons [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Trample]], and [[Tread]] came to Earth hoping to be able to revive their leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. They were mining for uranium in the [[Australia]]n outback in the hopes that if they collected enough energy, they could jump-start Megatron's spark.

[[NEST]] became aware of their presence when they picked up their intermittent energy signatures. They sent a strike team consisting of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], [[William Lennox]], and [[Kaminari Ishihara]] to take care of them. The three Constructicons put up a good fight but were killed. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

The Decepticons recovered Devastator's remains, and brought them to the peaks of [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], so that the behemoth could be repaired by a squad of Constructicon drone units. These drones appeared to be a model of [[purple generic drone]]s, and had both crane and front load shovel forms. That nasty [[Stratosphere]] blew up the poor drones and then destroyed the half-rebuilt Devastator. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

{{note|This figure was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as a generic [[Buffalo MPV Decepticon|Constructicon drone]] in issues #3 and #4 of [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[Transformers: Tales of the Fallen|Tales of the Fallen]]'' comic.}}

: Bonecrusher transforms into a {{w|Buffalo (mine protected vehicle)|Buffalo mine-protected vehicle}}, with an articulated "mine-fork" for removing mines or cars or robots or unsuspecting buildings from his path. Although the fork is packaged with its sets of tines opposing one another, they can be rotated into a more appropriate side-by-side vehicle mode configuration, which the instructions fail to call out. He has six rolling wheels in this mode, and two sculpted, non-functional spare wheels.

: His robot mode is, like most of the movie toys, based on pre-final design work, explaining his ''extremely'' long extensible arms as seen on some concept art. The mine-fork splits to form a grabber-claw, which can snap onto victims with a geared slider [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] mechanism. His hips can often detach from the codpiece holding them together.

: He is extremely short compared to many contemporary Deluxes.

: He is named "Bonescrusher" on the Canadian [[cross-sell]]. Guess how Bonecrusher feels about ''that'' little misspelling.

: ''[[EZ Collection]]'' "DX Devastator" is made up of the seven [[:File:TF-ROTF-EZ-Collection-Constructicons.jpg|individually-carded]] Constructicon toys [[Hightower (ROTF)#Toys|Hightower]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)#Toys|Long Haul]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)#Toys|Mixmaster]], [[Overload (ROTF)#Toys|Overload]], [[Rampage (ROTF)#Toys|Rampage]], [[Scavenger (ROTF)#Toys|Scavenger]], and [[Scrapper (ROTF)#Toys|Scrapper]], resulting in a roughly Deluxe-sized toy. Due to his size and the complexity of even getting this to work at all, he ends up with little articulation outside of a bit of swivel at the limb connections.

: Takara stock imagery shows him with a silver-painted face, but the final product has this reduced to a bunch of small "weathering" paint applications on gray plastic.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends Class multi-pack, [[2010]])

: In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, the Legends-class Constructicons were only sold together in a 7-pack. They are otherwise identical to the prior Takara releases. In the United States and Canada, said exclusive lies with [[Walmart]]. In the United Kingdom, the set was only available through Argos.

: Takara reissued the complete team of seven Legend class Constructicons in a singular box set. This time around, every toy has been redone in a Generation-1-[[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]-inspired bright green and purple color scheme. He even comes packaged in the same clear box set the Hasbro version used.

: In keeping with the "Generation 1" theme of the set, two of the Constructicons have been renamed, with the truss crane now being [[Hook (ROTF)|Hook]] and the bulldozer [[Bonecrusher (ROTF Constructicon)#Toys|Bonecrusher]]. (Overload has not been renamed as he has no Generation 1 proxy.)

====Deluxe Class====
[[File:ROTF-Rampage-yellow.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb]]
*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RD-06'''

:Rampage transforms from a yellow bulldozer similar to a Komatsu D575A into one of two robot mode configurations, the first of which (his actual in-fiction robot form) is distinctly [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]-esque. It lacks any functional legs, instead featuring a spring-loaded "jackhammer" assembly. When the figure is bounced along the ground in this mode, his [[Mech Alive]] feature is activated, and a pair of pistons that frame his head pump back and forth. The shovel can be removed in this mode and used as a stand. If legs are preferred, his jackhammer splits and his elaborate [[kibble]] backpack unfolds, together forming four leg-struts to create a free-standing robot form that is rather centaurian in design. Though not mentioned in the instructions or package, the aforementioned backpack can remain folded in robot mode for a more movie-accurate, two-legged 'play' mode of sorts. He features real rubber treads which become arm-mounted whip weapons in robot mode. Unfortunately, due to this design, the treads themselves do not function in vehicle mode.

:Like several toys in the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline, Rampage has had a mold change done somewhere between his instructions being drawn up and the final version of the toy. On the final toy, the rear flap behind the cabin of the bulldozer runs into a screw section used to hold the robot pelvis together. This change also affects where the rear flap and the bulldozer shovel connect in robot mode. On the instructions, this flap is shown as folding flat against the back of the vehicle and said flap is also folded down much farther in robot mode to connect to the shovel. The mold change seems to account for the shovel connection issue in robot mode, but not the problem in vehicle mode. Unlike some others, this change does not directly affect any of the toy's action features or articulation.

*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe Class, 2010)
**''TakaraTomy name:'' '''Decepticon Rampage Desert Combat'''
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RD-21'''

:As a redeco of Rampage's first Deluxe Class toy in red, this release of Rampage represents a more [[show-accuracy|movie accurate]] version of the Rampage who fought Bumblebee in Egypt. Hasbro's version of red Rampage is a straight colour swap, with his yellow plastic replaced with red plastic. As one of the last two figures released in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class assortment, the red version of Rampage and his casemate [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]] were insanely difficult (if not impossible) to find in U.S. retail stores.

:TakaraTomy went much further than Hasbro with their version of red Rampage, dubbed "Decepticon Rampage Desert Combat"; Rampage features redecoing on his shovel blade to match the one used on the Rampage prop vehicle seen in the movie (including horizontal lines to match the slatted look of the prop). The figure also features a more screen-accurate red and yellow color scheme, much like his on-screen counterpart.

====Voyager Class====
[[File:ROTF-Demolishor.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Demolishor''' (Voyager Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RD-03'''

:Demolishor transforms from a red [http://www.mining-power.de/rh400/erh400.html Terex RH400 mining excavator] into a unique robot mode via a surprisingly complex transformation. His [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in robot mode is a drum in each arm that spins when you move his lower arm (not in the shoulders as the packaging call out states). He has real rubber treads that sadly can't move, and no little plastic wheels that help it move either. He is almost impossible to stand up—let alone pose—but it ''can'' be managed.

:In the film, Demolishor's vehicle mode features a lot more white. This toy's colors are actually a match to [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]]'s colors.

:Like several ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, such as [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 2|Voyager Class Starscream]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|Leader Class Optimus Prime]], Demolishor is yet another victim of late mold changes due to 2008-2009 economic problems. On the back of the box, his treads are pictured as being made of several individual, linked plastic sections. The sections were apparently recast as a single rubber tread ring instead for the final toy.

:Also, left out on the instruction was that the shovel "teeth"/robot mode fingers are articulated (albeit via a very tight joint).

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

: Voyager Class ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Mixmaster transforms into a gray and silver cement mixer with purple windows and headlights, based loosely on the {{w|Mack Trucks|Mack Granite}} truck seen in the film. He is notoriously one of the hardest to transform toys from the Movie toyline. The vehicle mode's mixing drum is incapable of rotating due to the transformation, but does boast a pair of gigantic Decepticon logos on either side (though in a different orientation than what is seen in the final film). The cement chute at the rear of the vehicle mode can accurately raise and lower on a hinge, and the cannon can be fixed to fire directly overhead or behind at pursuing vehicles.

: The packaging calls out [[Mech Alive]] gimmickry in the form of "spinning gears" on his chest, but the feature is only present in the thighs and forearms, which reveal shifting internal bits when the joints are rotated. The robot mode's missile-firing cannon is locked in place on its back pointing straight upward; it can be raised over Mixmaster's head, although this involves letting the cab hang loose on his back as it's designed to attach to the cannon. Alternately the toy can be transformed to its artillery cannon-like Battle Mode that has him essentially performing a belly flop, letting the launcher fire forward. At least, according to the Battle Mode's official depiction in the instructions.

: The instructions and the box pictures show the joint that attaches the cab to the robot to be inverted, with the released toy having the cab joint [[Misassembly|upside-down]] as compared with what is in the instructions and box pictures. Out of the box, the toy cannot exactly mimic the battle mode of the instructions or [[stock photography|stock photo]]s, but it's close enough for most people to assume they were doing something wrong until one realizes this mis-assembly. The joint can be corrected by the removal and re-attachment of the metal pin behind the front-bumper, but this is not as easy as it sounds and may potentially be damaging to the toy. This only applies to the Hasbro version of the instructions, however, as the Japanese Takara release had instructions depicting a completely different battle mode,<ref>[http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=124022&postcount=13 Thread about Mixmaster's faulty instructions.]</ref> which utilised the joint in the direction it is assembled, as well as pegs and holes present on the rear wheel segments and the inside of the cab respectively (see image to the right with highlighted circles).

: The image of the cement mixer mode on the packaging has been flipped horizontally as well, leaving the location of the ladder switched. Additionally, the robot mode image on the packaging has a different mold for the mixing drum shells, with rectangular-shaped pegs rather than circular.

:Available only in the [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] "Back Road Brawl" figure pack with [[Hoist (Movie)|Hoist]], this release of Mixmaster features a new head that was gang-molded to Mixmaster, but until now went unused.

He is decorated with a small [[tampograph]] reading "Ol' Lefty", a reference to how Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] formed [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s left leg.

:Part of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class wave 5, Long Haul transforms from a green genericized "earth mover" dump truck with a functional truck bed into a bulky [[robot mode]]. In robot mode, he has three [[Mech Alive]] gimmicks in which turning his head also turns a cog in his chest, while bending his elbows moves some pistons and finally the "springs" connected to his feet move inwards when moving them. Only the piston gimmick is advertised on the packaging. Meanwhile, each forearm houses a spring-loaded flip-out sword.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Supreme Combiner Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RD-16'''
**''Accessories'': Mixmaster's truck "nose", Scavenger's shovel-bucket
{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Shogo Hasui]] (initial concept)}}

:Devastator is formed from the combination of six transforming construction vehicle toys that do not have individual robot modes. Unlike [[Duocon|prior]] [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|cases]] of this format, Devastator's vehicles represent separate Transformers, [[Scavenger (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|and]] [[Rampage (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|most]] [[Long Haul (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|of]] [[Mixmaster (ROTF)#Combiner Class toys|them]] have other non-combiner toys that ''do'' have robot modes.

:Despite the figure's complex appearance (from the front anyway), the limbs' transformations into combined mode are rather simple. Fortunately, this makes him a lot easier to muck with than some of the other larger-scale ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys. This is good, because Devastator is ENORMOUS. His smallest limbs (his legs) are the size of Deluxe-class toys, and his largest components are bigger than Leader-class toys. While the legs can not be swapped (unless for some reason you want a backwards walking Devastator), the arms can be swapped around. The pegs meant to plug Rampage and Long Haul into Devastator's hips also fit snugly into the sockets meant for connecting Scrapper and Hightower to Scavenger... if you're inclined to have a random arm connected to a stray leg with no body in between, or a vehicle mode about as useful as a poorly matched [[Micromaster Combiner]] pair.

:The toy's electronics are all in the Mixmaster component. Pressing the button makes Devastator's mouth open and activates voice clips and engine sounds, as well as green lights in his mouth and eyes. Pressing the button for a few seconds activates his "Vortex grinder". However, the button trigger is so sensitive that he ''never shuts up''. In Devastator mode, his mouth can be locked into the open position by clicking his lower jaw sections into the large tank treads that form his shoulders. His mouth is enormous, and it lights up all pretty and green. He can easily swallow any Legends-class toy and spit it out the other side by opening up the back of his head. Covering Devastator's head when separating him from the torso and turning him back into Mixmaster's vehicle mode activates the transformation noise, and after that somehow makes engine stalling noises without pulling the trigger.

:Sadly, Devastator has a hard time standing on all four of his limbs, and is most stable standing on his hind legs. This is mainly because the most weight is located in the head, and his fingers are not made to hold that weight. He will also look straight to the ground unless you lock his head in place with the lower jaw.

:The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of this figure has extra paint applications on Devastator's face, for a better resemblance to the final CG model.

:This Legends Class Rampage is an all-new mold that is different from the Legends class Rampage that came with Legends Class Constructicon Devastator. Because he is not encumbered with the need to combine, both his robot and vehicle modes are much more accurate and detailed. His "jackhammer" mode can be achieved by connecting his legs together and flipping his cab-feet down as the tip (as per the [[stock photography|stock photos]]), although he will not be able to stand up well. Meanwhile, his [[instructions]] depict a more stable biped configuration, with his legs spread out and his cab-feet folded back in their vehicle mode position as his "heels".

:Announced to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Devastator consists of eight (yes, eight) Constructicons to combine into one mechanical giant. While being meant to celebrate the tenth anniversary, some members were released in 2020.

:The second bulldozer who forms Devastator's left hand in the film is replaced entirely by an excavator, [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] (who died before Devastator was formed on-screen). [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] was redecoed into [[Skipjack (ROTF)|Skipjack]] as an option for a more accurate Devastator. An even more accurate Devastator was released as a boxset with all eight Constructicons as a shared exclusive.

:For those new to the movie franchise, [[:File:StudioSeries Dev Sym.jpg|Devastator's picture]] is on the side of the packaging for his components to signify their involvement in his assembly, similar to the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'' combiner bots. This in turn is the faction symbol used for the Devastator boxset. A large picture of the prototype CG model for Devastator is also present.

:Unlike the vast majority of the ''Studio Series'' line, the Constructicons all lack Decepticon insignias in robot, vehicle and combined mode... unless one counts the extremely stylized hood ornament on Mixmaster.

==Notes==
*In the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel adaptation]], the four Constructicons that accompany Ravage to the [[Laurentian Abyss]] are not named, but described as bipedal, disqualifying Rampage and Scavenger. This is contradicted by the movie, as the Rampage that later battles [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] is almost certainly one of the four.
*[[:File:T2_Constructicon_Nurse.jpg|One abandoned Constructicon concept]] by artist [[Steve Jung]] was a "nurse" that would have transformed into a Volvo wheel loader. It is unknown if this character later evolved into the character referred to as [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]], who alternately transformed into a Volvo excavator and a yellow front-end loader. Humorously, the Nurse's torso was seemingly reused for the design of [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], whose model was used to represent Scrapmetal in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)| Revenge of the Fallen]].''

*Other abandoned Constructicon concepts by Jung include a Vermeer rockwheel trencher whose robot mode body was built around the vehicle's large sawblade and a Sennebogen material handler that somehow managed to turn one crane arm into two.

===Constructicons defined===
{{bigquote|There are other Constructicons too, but we only have so much space on the page!|[[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]|"[[Transformers Comic issue 2.17|Law and Disorder]]"}}

Determining who is and who isn't a Constructicon is a little more problematic than it may first appear. The subgroup is not especially well defined. Over time, ''any'' Decepticon from the 2009 film and related media/toys that has a construction vehicle [[alternate mode]] has been said to be a Constructicon. This is then complicated by the amount of Constructicons with the same name and form as each other, which indicates "Constructicon" is a type of drone... except then, with Constructicon Scouts and the drones in Titan Comics, there are ''explicit'' drones without individual names! Add in that bios and other media have given Constructicons individual personalities, even though they have counterparts: does this mean every Rampage, for example, has anger issues?

Also, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' film taken by itself does not feature any Constructicons with individual robot modes that also form a part of Devastator. There's only construction vehicles that turn into individual robots, and construction vehicles that combine into Devastator. If one were to only watch the movie and not be aware of the toys or other media, one might come to the conclusion that Devastator is simply a really large member of the Constructicons that splits up into multiple construction vehicles for his alternate mode.

Having built up his reputation as the first combiner, '''Devastator''' has a lot of toys.

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Mark Watts]] (packaging artist)}}

:The first [[combiner]] in the [[The Transformers (toyline)|''Transformers'' toyline]], Devastator is a [[redeco]] of the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Construction Vehicle Robo" team. He is created by assembling all six Constructicons ([[Bonecrusher (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Bonecrusher]], [[Hook (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Hook]], [[Long Haul (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Long Haul]], [[Mixmaster (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Mixmaster]], [[Scavenger (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Scavenger]], and [[Scrapper (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Scrapper]]), who, unlike the later [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and 2010)|Scramble City]]-style combiners, cannot be rearranged into other configurations. The large pieces of [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] weaponry the Constructicons came with form important connector pieces for the giant robot. The forearm-launchers can be equipped with silver-chrome drill attachments instead of his fists, but their spring-loaded firing mechanism was severely weakened by [[Hasbro]] [[for safety reasons]]. He is armed with Mixmaster's [[magna laser]], though his own [[bio]] identifies his weapon as a [[solar energy beam rifle]].

:The combined form suffers from [[design flaw|several issues in the toy's design]], mainly down to pegs and holes not made in the correct places and leaving some component parts on an almost hair trigger-like connection. The most notable of these is the chest plate which has the friction clip barely reaching its correct spot on Hook, causing it to sit twisted towards the right side of the combined form. There is also a tab on the chest plate clearly made to go into Long Haul's grill, but due to how far his chest sticks out, it can't reach it at all. With hardly anything holding the chest plate on, it is likely to fall off if bumped. The connector that houses Devastator's head also has its posts and holes misaligned with the respective connectors on Long Haul, leaving the combined form torso/waist stuck at a very slight permanent twist to the right as well. It's no wonder the Scramble City combiner design became the "standard" in later years.

:On the European continent, the individual Constructicons were first released by Hasbro subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] in 1985, then re-released in 1986 by Hasbro proper, this time in a ''yellow'' coloration manufactured by [[Joustra]].<ref name="frenchcon">[http://tfsource.com/blog/french-connection/ "French Connection"] at the TF Source blog.</ref><ref name="europestrange">[http://tfsource.com/blog/europes-strangest-attractions/ "Europe's Strangest Attractions"] at the TF Scource blog.</ref><ref name="frenchconst">[http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vjap6.html "French TFs: G1 Yellow Constructicons"] at Fred's Workshop.</ref> These figures are not to be confused with the yellow European Constructicons released in 1992, who featured grey parts and could not combine into Devastator, nor with the yellow ''Generation 2'' Constructicons (see below), who lacked the [[rubsign]]s and forearm-launcher tabs that this version featured.

:In the United States, Canada, and Japan, the Constructicons were originally available both sold separately on individual blister cards (with the additional Devastator parts split up between them) and as a boxed [[Giftset|gift set]] of all six. All of the toys in this set are identical to their individual releases.

:The gift set was also released by GiG in Italy, and it would be reissued a handful of years later by [[Greece|Greek]] company [[El Greco]] in 1991. Rumors are that an MB-branded Devastator giftset was also released in continental Europe, but thus far no packaged sample has surfaced.<ref>[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/transformers/mb-transformers-collection/ "MB Transformers Collection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector.</ref>

{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

:Part of the second assortment of individually-carded [[Action Master]]s released in the seventh and final year of the original US line (sixth and not-final in Europe), Devastator is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure. His sculpt is based largely on his original [[Character model|animation model]], but with a great many toy-based elements added for extra detail; most notably, his head is based on the toy instead of the very different animation model. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s.

:Devastator came with his small animal [[Action Master partner|partner]], [[Scorpulator#Toys|Scorpulator]], who transforms into an [[acid spray gun]] that Devastator can wield, with his detachable leg assembly forming a "Gripper Backpack" plugged into Devastator's back. Gun-mode Scorpulator can be augmented by attaching Devastator's magnifier blaster into his gunbarrel.

:As an [[Action Master]], Devastator received a set of Power Plans, viewable [[:File:Devastator Power Plans.jpg|here]]. Not surprisingly, none of his listed parts line up with those found in the STARS manual (see notes). Additionally, the Devastator in the Power Plans is missassembled: Mixmaster and Scrapper are on the wrong legs. [[:File:1990protoactionmasters.jpg|A prototype of Action Master Devastator]] features a different head coloration.[[File:1990protoactionmasters.jpg|1px]]

:[[Redeco]]s of all six Constructicons were released individually as part of the first assortments of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' products, now colored yellow like the European version from 1986. They were not ''identical'' to that earlier version, however: they featured a lighter purple plastic, lacked rubsigns, had all their spring-loaded accessories (such as Devastator's forearms) [[retool]]ed to remove the firing [[gimmick]] completely, and a ''Generation 2''-style Decepticon [[insignia|logo]] and the word "DECEPTICON" [[tampograph]]ed on them.

:Famously, a slightly later—and far less common—run of the figures changed the yellow plastics to bright, saturated orange. Anecdotal claims from the time are that this version of the team was exclusive to [[KB Toys]] stores, though the yellow version was still shipping concurrently. Whatever the case, neither color version was available as a gift set.

While similar to the [[Decepticon Sixbuilder|Destron Sixbuilder]] redeco, this version is molded in distinctly different colors with far more purple and black paint applications. When separated into his component robots, the leftover combiner [[kibble]] can combine to form a single-pilot jet.

:A [[KB Toys]] [[exclusive]], the Micromaster Constructicons were also ultimately available from {{w|Sears, Roebuck and Company|Sears}} during [[Christmas]]time and [[Kmart]]'s online store.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Multi-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Two claw [[energon weapon]]s, two pincer energon weapons
:''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Devastator is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' combiner [[Constructicon Maximus]]. As this mold is a five-bot combiner in the "Scramble City" style, rather than Devastator's traditional six, the team now consists only of Scavenger (redecoed from [[Steamhammer (Energon)|Steamhammer]]), Scrapper, Bonecrusher (both redecoed from the [[Sledge (Energon)|Sledge]]/[[Bonecrusher (Energon)|Bonecrusher]] mold), Long Haul, and enigmatic new member [[Hightower (Classics)|Hightower]] (redecoed from the [[Duststorm (Energon)|Duststorm]]/[[Wideload (Energon)|Wideload]] mold). Hightower replaces Mixmaster and Hook, but his bio combines elements of both the missing members', leading to some interesting speculation.

:Scavenger forms Devastator's main body, while the other four robots attach via universal connectors to form any of his limbs, using their energon weapon accessories to form clawed hands and feet for their combined form. Being a redeco, this of course means Devastator's components can also connect with any of the other combiner robots from the ''Energon'' series. Devastator was only available in a full five-pack, [[exclusive]] to Wal-Mart stores.

:The Devastor Gift Set was made available once more as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Encore]]'' series of reissues. Apparently cast from a newly created set of molds (given the presence of a Tomy copyright stamp rather than the original Hasbro/Takara one), the team features numerous small differences from the original toys, though none that serve to change Devastator's appearance in any significant way.

:Initially solicited as a "yellow version", this second ''Encore'' release of Devastator instead proved to be a redeco and retool based upon the character's appearance in the original Generation 1 cartoon. All six figures are notably a brighter, more yellowish-green plastic color with a purple mixing drum for Mixmaster, and feature assorted different paint details such as painted torsos (for Gren and Mixmaster) and painted red optics (for everyone). Devastor now comes with black forearms, and most significantly, a new headsculpt based on the cartoon's visored look. His package art is modified to reflect these changes, and an additional window is added to the box to showcase his new noggin in-package.

:Depending on the individual copy of the toy, this release is prone to some [[quality control]] issues: Scavenger, Long Haul, Hook and Scrapper are plagued with transformation-related problems due to mold degradation, some of the Mixmasters were missing their robot heads, and the optional stickers seemed to become less adhesive.

: The Devastator Kreon is based on the original Generation 1 Devastator, using [[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]]'s helmet and carrying a black pistol based on [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Generation 1 Megatron]]'s alternate mode. Like most of the 2012 sets, the Devastator Kreon comes with his own extra clear "Energon" torso piece.

:Part of the first wave Kreon [[Micro-Changer]] combiner sets, this iteration of Devastator is made up of only four Kreons: [[Bonecrusher (G1)#Kre-O|Bonecrusher]], [[Mixmaster (G1)#Kre-O|Mixmaster]], [[Scavenger (G1)#MicroChangerCombiner|Scavenger]] and [[Scrapper (G1)#MicroChangerCombiner|Scrapper]]. Each Kreon can be rebuilt into individual vehicle modes, as well as their combined Devastator form.

:(The missing two members of the team, [[Hook (G1)#Kre-O|Hook]] and [[Long Haul (G1)#Kre-O|Long Haul]], were part of the [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] Micro-Changer assortments. You can try and integrate them into Devastator if you want; after all, they are interchangeable building block toys.)

:Like the entire Micro Changer combiner sets, Devastator comes with only one Kre-O display brick, and a sticker sheet composed of his leg detailing & a Kre-O logo. Due to the leg stickers being slightly transparent, applying them into the black-colored leg parts can render the details being semi-transparent. The instructions also did not mention on where you should put the Kre-O logo sticker. Also, Devastator's combined mode's waist part is somehow prone to falling off from the assembly while posing, and he has a problem standing straight due to how the legs are constructed.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (detailing), [[Mark Maher]] (deco artist)}}

:''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Devastator is a Titan-class combiner formed from six Voyager-class Constructicons. All his components are sold together in a massive box. When separated into the individual Constructicons, Devastator's forearms, chest shield, and gun all transform into smaller weapons that they can hold: his forearms become (non-firing) missile launchers, the fins of his chestplate disconnect to become (rather awkward) swords, leaving the central crest to become a double-barreled gun, and his gun splits into two smaller guns. The robot modes of the individual Constructicons have less articulation than other Voyager Class figures in the Combiner Wars subline, though when fully assembled Devastator himself is extremely articulated (He even has ''ankle'' articulation!). We dare you to find another huge toy that can do high kicks without support.

: The thin tabs situated on Long Haul's shoulders can be put through serious strain when connected for Devastator. Sometimes, their smaller portions can break off within Hook; thankfully, there are many other connection points across the combiner's torso, to ensure everything remains secure.

:The stock photo at right features Hook's crane arm assembled upside down and erroneously pointing forward.

:As a part of a promotion in Hasbro's Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the Constructicons was given out when purchasing the set. As such, Devastator was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.

:Devastator also comes with a Collector Card based on his packaging art. Devastator was reissued and sold exclusively through [[Amazon]] in 2021.

:''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' "Devastor" is a redeco and slight retool of Hasbro's version, the most notable differences being the inclusion of individual handguns for the Buildrons and a new combiner head that can switch between visored and non-visored faces. Every member has been retooled in some manner from the Hasbro versions: Hook, Mixmaster, Long Haul, and Scrapper have been remolded to sport better elbows, and Bonecrusher and Scavenger have been remolded to sport better knees. In addition to this, Devastator utilizes ratchet joints in his shoulders. Each Buildron features a G1 style gun that pegs into an existing slot or hole and can be stored in Devastator's back (which is Long Haul's truck bed).

:Devastor and each Buildron's deco is heavily based on the original G1 animation. This includes adding many painted details. The most notable changes to Devastor himself are a metallic gray face (instead of silver), matching purple on the treads that compose his chest, purple hands, and a left foot that is painted to resemble the cab portion of G1 Mixmaster's alt mode.

:While a similar green and purple to Hasbro's release, the colors vary slightly from the ''Combiner Wars'' version.

*'''Devastator''' (Walmart exclusive reissue, 2018)
**''Accessories:'' Robot head, head laser, 2 forearms/launchers, 2 fists, 2 drills, "super wing" chest plate, "missile mount" hip connector, "wing" pelvis armor, "magna laser"/"solar energy rifle", individual robot guns, Mixmaster's 2 missiles

:The original Devastator toy was once again available, this time in the [[Walmart]] exclusive ''[[Vintage|Vintage G1]]'' series. Unlike [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Vintage G1|Bumblebee]], Devastator does not use the cartoon-accurate head from the ''[[#Encore|Encore]]'' release.

:Aside from the changes like the tightened joints, the removal of the forearms' springs and molding the green plastic with a yellowish tone, this Devastator featured many changes compared to previous molds, but it's best to redirect to their individual components' pages for more details. Their [[rubsign]]s are an all-new type used on all of the ''Vintage G1'' toys; the insignia only turns red rather than the mood-ring multicolor of older rubsigns, plus the silver border is mirror-level reflective.

:Formed from the six ''[[Studio Series]]'' 86 Constructicons, Devastator was released via his single-packed components throughout [[2025]]. Boasting greater cartoon accuracy than ever before, Devastator was scaled down from his [[#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'']] counterpart to bring him more in line with ''Legacy'' [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]] and other contemporary combiners. However, ''unlike'' said contemporary combiners, his components do not mount onto a skeletal body frame. Despite size class differences, all six Constructicons are roughly the same size, though Scrapper and Mixmaster were upgraded to Voyager class (price-wise) to allow for ratcheted ankle joints for the combined form. Hook and Long Haul are also roughly Voyager Class, but sold together as a single Commander Class release with the majority of the kibble needed to form the combined mode (which can combine into a trailer Long Haul can tow). While none of the individual Constructicons feature functioning waist swivels, Devastator does, owing to his pelvis being made from an entirely separate part.

:Devastator’s lower legs are notably positioned slightly off center from his thighs, which designer Evan Brooks said was done to prevent them from grinding together; had they centered them, they would have had to make the waist wider in a way that would mess up the proportions of the figure. <ref>{{citesocial|quote=The reason they're off center like that is so they don't grind into each other when standing straight up. We wanted to capture the animation proportions and we would have needed to widen the waist to an unnatural level for the legs to slot into the center. It just threw off all the proportions|link= https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/2025-studio-series-listings.1259521/page-691#post-22969146|name=Evan Brooks|site=Instagram|year=2024|month=12|day=27}}</ref>

:Hook's crane and Scavenger's bucket arm are connected via 5 mm posts and can be removed for further [[Show-accuracy|cartoon accuracy]]. The tip of Long Haul's gun can also be removed to more accurately recreate Mixmaster's "toe" from the cartoon. There's even a dedicated slot for storage on his lower-backpack in case you're afraid of losing it!

===Decoy===
[[File:Devastator decoy.jpg|thumb|Relax, I'm not the first Devastator to be the same size as my comrades...]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)

:Devastator was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" soft rubber ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the figures in the series, Devastator featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. He was available in purple as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, in peach as part of various other randomly-packed box sets released by Takara subsidiary [[Seven]], and in a wide variety of different colors in "gachapon" capsule machines.

*'''Devastator''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''48'''

:The Devastator figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy (G1)|Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number. Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was cast in purple and available as a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. Very early in the promotion, a red version of Devastator was also available, which was packaged ''only'' with the Throttlebots; unsurprisingly, this version is much rarer.

*'''Devastator''' (Bust, 2003)

[[File:SCF Devastator.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Devastor''' (Super Collection Figure, 2001)
**''Act'': '''5'''
**''Accessories:'' Stand

: A three-inch tall PVC figure based on the cartoon rendition of Devastator was part of the fifth "Act" of Takara's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like the other figures in the wave, Devastator was available in both full-color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, at a ratio of one each per case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: Care should be taken when moving the joints of the pewter version, as is not uncommon for the connector pegs to have gotten painted as well, resulting in stuck limbs and tearing joints. Shaving the interior of the socket slightly with a hobby knife is usually sufficient to relieve the issue.

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of the figure came packed with the waist and tail for the wave's collectible [[Scorponok (G1)#Super Collection Figure|BlackZarak]] "build-a-figure". These parts could be in either full-color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal ratio of 4:4.

: Released in the fifth wave of ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'', this Hasbro-released version of the ''SCF'' Devastator figure uses the same sculpt, but is molded in red translucent plastic and painted over to allow for a [[light-piping]] gimmick in its eyes.

: The figure was sold on an individual blister card rather than blindpacked, and came with a collector card and the left arm for the [[Metroplex (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Metroplex]] build-a-figure.

:At only one inch in height, this Devastator "bottlecap" figurine (so named because its display base is the size of a bottlecap) was one of fourteen blindpacked figures available in Kabaya's Transformers [[Generation 1 Figure-Collection]]. The figure was rendered in a "retro" black and white color scheme, and came with a leaflet, personalized with cartoon screen captures.

:Devastator features as part of [[Kaiyodo]] and Takara's [[KT Figure Collection]], appearing in a small diorama figure that recreates the scene from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' of him ripping through the walls of Autobot City, with [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] added into the mix. Designed by [[Yuki Ohshima]], the figure was available in an individually-sold blindpacked box, or as part of a complete box set of all five figures from the series and came with a card featuring some artwork of Devastator from [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s [[Prime Directive issue 5|''Prime Directive'' #5]].

:Standing at over a foot tall, [[Palisades Toys]]' statue of Devastator was one of the final products released by the company before it folded. It was limited to only 421 pieces, and in a cute touch, came disassembled in box, requiring the buyer to "combine" the legs and arms with the torso to ready Devastator for display on his large Decepticon insignia base.

===Mecha Nations===

*'''Devastator''' (2015)
**''ID Number:'' '''MN08'''
**''Accessories:'' Alternate hands, gun, 6 x magnetic infrared LED modules, display stand.

:Created by [[Kids Logic]], this [[super deformed]], non-transforming and non-separating G1 Devastator stands approximately 8" tall and is articulated, featuring a shiny metallic color scheme, articulated hands, LED light up eyes, Decepticon insignia on his chest, and windows in his component vehicle modes. He includes a flip-down visor for if you prefer this look over separate eyes. Pressing the button on Devastator's gun causes all his LEDs to light up simultaneously (achieved via infrared receivers), accompanied by the classic transformation sound.

:While he was released as part of the Mecha Nations line of larger sized figures, he is intended to tower over the smaller Kids Nations 3" figures, and can be regarded as the combined form of the contemporaneously released [[Constructicon (G1)#Kids Nations|Kids Nations TF04 Constructicons mini-figures set]].

: Part of the fourth assortment of ''[[Tiny Titans]]'' [[blindpacking|blindpacks]], this version of Devastator is a very small, soft-plastic figure of him in robot mode.

: He includes a collectible card that renders him in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] styling. The card 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.

: This wave saw fairly minimal release at "big box" retailers, but unlike other waves, was ''not'' picked up by drug stores and the like later, making them particularly hard to find.

:Devastator, Towering Colossus can be formed by playing the Battle Card [[Enigma of Combination|Constructicon Enigma]] (included in the pre-constructed battle deck) while all six Constructicons are in Bot Mode on the battlefield and/or KO area.

===''ReAction''===
*'''Devastator''' (2020)
**''Accessories'': Solar energy rifle

: Released in the third wave of [[Super7]]'s line of multi-property 3.75-inch "retro" action figures, ''[[ReAction]]'' Devastator is a non-converting 3 3/4-inch-scale action figure based on his appearance in the original cartoon, with 5 points of articulation (swivel neck, shoulders, hips) and holes in his feet for use with some variety of stand. As the first combiner to get the ''ReAction'' treatment, Devastator is a "giant-sized" 6 inch figure instead of just being slightly larger than normal like some of the others in the line.

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

*'''Wrecking Crew Devastator''' (2024)
**''Accessories:'' Magna Laser

: "Wrecking Crew Devastator" is a yellow, orange, and blue redeco of the standard ''ReAction'' figure, meant to resemble its ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[:File:Diaclone Constructicons.jpg|appearance]]. This version had window box packaging instead of a card.

{{toydesigner|[[Akira Amemiya]] (concept artist)}}

:Released as part of the ''Furai Model'' line by [[Flame Toys]], this Devastator is an articulated, non-transforming/combining, roughly-Voyager Class-sized {{w|Gunpla}}-style model kit. He is molded in green, purple, white, and gray plastic, and translucent red for the eyes and visor.

:Unlike most of the ''Furai Model'' kits, Devastator features no foil stickers for detailing. For beginners, the kit can be panel-lined and touched-up with several panel-lining and paint markers (water/acrylic-based markers are recommended, as alcohol-based markers like ''Gundam Markers'' can potentially damage the ABS plastic). If one desires; the kit's pieces, aside from the translucent parts, can be fully coated with spray paints to recreate the finished sample seen in the stock photos.

===Imaginarium Art===
[[File:ImaginariumDevastator.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Buying a used car and putting a Transformers sticker on it would cost less.]]
*'''Devastator''' (2021)

:Already known for producing very large expensive Transformers statues, [[Imaginarium Art]] went even further than usual with their Devastator statue. It stands over 41 inches tall, weighs 150 pounds, with an MSRP of $3,000. Only 100 were produced. The set includes two different heads with alternate facial expressions. The gigantic solar energy beam rifle has 4 [[Light-emitting diode|LEDs]] in its barrel.

:This statue forms the centerpiece for the "Legacy of Cybertron" statue subline, each of which has a base that can be linked up so they are all surrounding, fighting, looking at, or in some way interacting with Devastator.

:Early reviewers noted that the piece came intensely disassembled but lacking any instruction manual, with only a promotional photo as a guide, and that it was easily broken during assembly.

:Its design seems to have been based off the [[IP infringement|unlicensed "Green Giant" figure]]... oops!

:The Constructicon vehicles released in the first three ''[[Blokees]]'' Galaxy Version Defender series of blind boxes feature peg holes and ball joint sockets underneath, which allow them to serve as components for a Devastator combiner. However, the combiner components needed to complete the gestalt are exclusively sold at the Blokees Figure Club in China, where they can be redeemed by scanning the QR codes from the collector cards of each Constructicon vehicle.

:In addition to his signature Solar Energy rifle, Devastator features two different face parts/neck joints for the builder to choose from/interchange with. Swapping them can be a little bit difficult, as the head parts need to be split with the assistance of a plastic parts separator/auxiliary key.

:Despite what the instructions say, some components, particularly Scavenger and Hook, can be modified in several ways for a slightly improved appearance; As seen in the gray prototype render, Scavenger's excavator arm can be extended outwards for a better range of arm articulation, or just rotate the cab 180 degrees for a toy/show-accurate rearrangement. Meanwhile, Hook's crane arm can rotate and face backward for a cleaner look. However, Devastator is still not a fully self-contained combiner, as Long Haul's rear chassis and Mixmaster's front wheels must be removed and set aside for the combined mode.

:At the time of its release, the add-on set was only available for sale in China, while being unavailable in Western markets. This was due to the add-on somewhat violating Hasbro's policies, which discourage most officially licensed third-party items from transforming or combining unless they have permits like Flame Toys and Robosen. As a result, most customers had to find a way to import the add-on if they wanted a complete gestalt. Eventually, the add-on was later made available in the UK as an exclusive for the [[unofficial conventions|TFNation 2025]] event. It later became available in the Western markets via the official Blokees site in September, and was also generally released in [[South Korea]] via the official Korean Blokees online store. In a rather amusing error, at least one English text in the front package refers to Devastator as "Hercules," which is a direct and literal translation of his Mandarin Chinese name.

:''Chop Shop is a [[Decepticon]] from [[Transformers: Cyberworld (franchise)|Cyberworld]].''
[[File:Cyberworld ChopShopProfile.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66|Oh no, the game's full of bugs!]]

A chittering, skittering scavenger, '''Chop Shop''' aimlessly wanders the biomes of the [[Cyberworld (location)|Cyberworld]] in a single- and simple-minded search for whatever [[energon]] he can get his mandibles on. Seemingly uninterested in the Autobot/Decepticon conflict, he'll happily follow whoever seems the most likely to lead him to his next meal, whether they want him to or not... and they usually don't. He's kinda creepy.

This fixation on fuel does tend to leave him ''incredibly'' vulnerable to the Cyberworld's many, many traps and hazards as he thoughtlessly wanders into game zones. But he must be part robo-roach, because for all the abuse he takes, he just keeps going, a bug that is genuinely hard to squash.

==Fiction==
===''Cyberworld'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[James Alexander]] (English)|[[Douglas Guedes]] (Brazilian Portuguese)}}
Chop Shop stumbled into a face-off between [[Megatron (Cyberworld)|Megatron]] and [[Optimus Prime (Cyberworld)|a]] [[Elita-1 (Cyberworld)|group]] [[Bumblebee (Cyberworld)|of]] [[Grimlock (Cyberworld)|Autobots]] while seeking energon in the jungle biome. After momentarily noticing the crowd, he quickly ignored them and wandered off... right into an opening game zone, leaving the others to follow.

Megatron reluctantly recruited Chop Shop onto his team, as it was a three-versus-three race to the top of a series of floating platforms. Despite being hit by various traps, Chop Shop still made it to the top alongside his teammate [[Mirage (Cyberworld)|Mirage]], netting him the energon he craved once Megatron joined them and won the game. With the game over, Chop Shop wandered off alongside his apparent new boss. {{storylink|What Goes Up}}

:*''Environment'': Desert
:*''Accessories'': Pincer gearbox weapon, pincer blades, mandibles

: Released in the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Cyberworld (toyline)|Cyberworld]]'' Armored Cyber Changers, Chop Shop transforms from 4-inch tall robot mode to a stag beetle in 4 steps, with his whole torso compressing in one motion as his chest is flipped up, drawing in his arms and shifting the backpack down to meet his calves. The figure comes with a gear driven hammer-like weapon with flip out grabby pincers and a blade in its center. The contraption can also be held as a gun, though Chop Shop can't hold it like one in robot mode since the insect legs on the toy's arms get in the way.

: Like other Cyber Changers, the toy has limited articulation, with ball-jointed shoulders, hips, and hinged knees. He has three [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] on his back and one on each arm; no 3 mm stand port though! The beast mode mandibles, as well as the pincers of the weapon, are all removable and attach via 5 mm posts. The stock photo at right shows the bug legs on his shins pointing down, but they can be positioned pointing upwards for a slightly more pleasing look.

==Notes==
*Chop Shop's overall robot mode design is based on [[Insecticon (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Insecticon]] while his color scheme draws from [[Insecticon (Energon)|''Energon'' Insecticon]] and the toys of the [[Insecticon_(WFC)#Prime|''Prime'' Insecticons]].

Chop Shop (Cyberworld)

{{factions|decepticon|}}
{{Disambig3|Chop Shop}}
:''Chop Shop is a [[Decepticon]] from [[Transformers: Cyberworld (franchise)|Cyberworld]].''
[[File:Cyberworld ChopShopProfile.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66|Oh no, the game's full of bugs!]]

A chittering, skittering scavenger, '''Chop Shop''' aimlessly wanders the biomes of the [[Cyberworld (location)|Cyberworld]] in a single- and simple-minded search for whatever [[energon]] he can get his mandibles on. Seemingly uninterested in the Autobot/Decepticon conflict, he'll happily follow whoever seems the most likely to lead him to his next meal, whether they want him to or not... and they usually don't. He's kinda creepy.

This fixation on fuel does tend to leave him ''incredibly'' vulnerable to the Cyberworld's many, many traps and hazards as he thoughtlessly wanders into game zones. But he must be part robo-roach, because for all the abuse he takes, he just keeps going, a bug that is genuinely hard to squash.

==Fiction==
===''Cyberworld'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[James Alexander]] (English)}}
Chop Shop stumbled into a face-off between [[Megatron (Cyberworld)|Megatron]] and [[Optimus Prime (Cyberworld)|a]] [[Elita-1 (Cyberworld)|group]] [[Bumblebee (Cyberworld)|of]] [[Grimlock (Cyberworld)|Autobots]] while seeking energon in the jungle biome. After momentarily noticing the crowd, he quickly ignored them and wandered off... right into an opening game zone, leaving the others to follow.

Megatron reluctantly recruited Chop Shop onto his team, as it was a three-versus-three race to the top of a series of floating platforms. Despite being hit by various traps, Chop Shop still made it to the top alongside his teammate [[Mirage (Cyberworld)|Mirage]], netting him the energon he craved once Megatron joined them and won the game. With the game over, Chop Shop wandered off alongside his apparent new boss. {{storylink|What Goes Up}}

:*''Environment'': Desert
:*''Accessories'': Pincer gearbox weapon, pincer blades, mandibles

: Released in the second wave of ''[[Transformers:_Cyberworld_(toyline)#Armored_Cyber_Changers|Cyberworld]]'' Armored Cyber Changers, Chop Shop transforms from 4-inch tall robot mode to a stag beetle in 4 steps, with his whole torso compressing in one motion as his chest is flipped up, drawing in his arms and shifting the backpack down to meet his calves. The figure comes with a gear driven hammer-like weapon with flip out grabby pincers and a blade in its center. The contraption can also be held as a gun, though Chop Shop can't hold it like one in robot mode since the insect legs on the toy's arms get in the way.

: Like other Cyber Changers, the toy has limited articulation, with ball-jointed shoulders, hips, and hinged knees. He has three [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] on his back and one on each arm; no 3 mm stand port though! The beast mode mandibles, as well as the pincers of the weapon, are all removable and attach via 5 mm posts. The stock photo at right shows the bug legs on his shins pointing down, but they can be positioned pointing upwards for a slightly more pleasing look.

: Chop Shop's overall robot mode design is based on [[Insecticon (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Insecticon]] while his color scheme draws from [[Insecticon (Energon)|''Energon'' Insecticon]] and the toys of the [[Insecticon_(WFC)#Prime|''Prime'' Insecticons]].

Hardtop (ES)

2025-08-21T01:29:03Z

E198517: Added image of Hardtop's vehicle mode.

{{factions|decepticon}}
{{disambig3|Hardtop}}
:''Hardtop is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: EarthSpark (franchise)|EarthSpark]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:ESHardtop.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|It took me 20 years, but it feels so good to finally be on TV!]]

'''Hardtop''' is the muscle of the two-bot crime spree he forms with his brother [[Swindle (ES)|Swindle]]. Heavily armed in both modes, he's able to run-and-gun, providing cover for the pair's various crimes.

==Fiction==
===''EarthSpark'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Nolan North]] (English), [[Kōji Yusa]] (Japanese)|[[Gábor Maday]] (Hungarian), [[Humberto Torres]] (Brazilian Portuguese), [[Javier Francisco Martínez]] (Castilian Spanish), [[Sebastián Rosas]] (Latin-American Spanish, first voice), [[Eduardo Martínez]] (Latin-American Spanish, second voice), [[Laurent Gris]] (French), [[Szymon Roszak]] (Polish), [[Sim Seung-han]] (Korean)}}

[[File:ES-Hardtop altmode.JPG|thumb|left|upright=1.67]]

Hardtop participated in the final battle of the Transformers War, wherein [[Arcee (ES)|Arcee]] rammed into him. {{storylink|Warzone}} Many years later, Hardtop and Swindle traveled to a trainyard in [[Witwicky (town)|Witwicky]] on a hot tip, eager to score some unguarded [[energon]]. However, the hot tip turned out to be a hot trap, set up by [[Elita-1 (ES)|Elita-1]], and the pair ended up facing both her and [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]]. Elita alone proved to be more than a match for both Decepticons, boxing them both into an arena of fallen train cars, a perfect setup for Optimus to hurl a boxcar at them. Hardtop pushed his brother out of the way, taking the brunt of the blow. Swindle managed to escape (thanks to interference from a swarm of [[Arachnamech]]s), and Hardtop was taken into custody by [[G.H.O.S.T.]] agents.
[[File:SecretLegacy ES Hardtop armloss.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.30|#PRAYFORHARDTOP]]
As he was being transported to G.H.O.S.T. headquarters for incarceration, the convoy was attacked by another squad of Arachnamechs, and Hardtop was captured a ''second'' time. {{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 1}} The mechs took him to the secret base of their creator, [[Mandroid|Dr. Meridian]], who promptly removed the Decepticon's right arm in order to replace his own missing limb. He then put Hardtop under mental control, turning him into a silent enforcer. Hardtop and several other captured Decepticons were then sent to cover Meridian's escape when Optimus, [[Megatron (ES)|Megatron]], [[Dot Malto]] and Elita-1 arrived to rescue his latest prisoners, the new "[[Terran]]" Transformers [[Twitch]] and [[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]]. Hardtop took multiple clumsy swings at Elita, but between the missing limb and the rudimentary mind control dulling his movements, she was able to very quickly take him down.

Following the battle, whatever Meridian had done to the Decepticons wore off, and Hardtop found himself a prisoner once again, this time of his former commander. He and the others were then taken into G.H.O.S.T. custody. {{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 2}}

Swindle continued to look for his brother, attacking G.H.O.S.T. trucks and installations to steal gear and info in the hopes of locating Hardtop. Spotting easy suckers in Thrash and [[Mo Malto]], he was able to quickly convince them he was really a good guy just out looking for his missing brother... and while the latter half of that was true, the first part definitely wasn't. He used them to try and steal equipment from a G.H.O.S.T. truck, with Mo able to get through the Transformer-proof energon force field, though he had to drop the ruse and threaten their lives to get her to do so. The timely arrival of Dot and [[Bumblebee (ES)|Bumblebee]] foiled his plans, and Swindle had to run off empty-handed, no closer to finding Hardtop. {{storylink|House Rules}}

When the Terran [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]] inadvertently deactivated the Decepticon cells, Hardtop participated in the attempted prison uprising, co-opting a woefully undersized G.H.O.S.T. rifle and being unintentionally impervious to stasis cuffs to his missing limb. {{storylink|Hashtag: Oops}}. Hardtop once again found himself at the mercy of Mandroid when the scientist was recruited by G.H.O.S.T. director [[Karen Croft|Agent Croft]], who offered up the Decepticon prisoners under her watch as his test subjects. {{storylink|Home, Part 2}} He was still incarcerated, scraping the days of his sentence into the walls of his cell, as his brother tried to free him once more by going through the tunnels beneath the base, only for Swindle to be put away too after a fight with Optimus Prime and the Maltos.{{Storylink|Disarmed}}

After being freed by the Terrans with the other Decepticons after G.H.O.S.T. was dissolved by Mandroid, his brother and [[Soundwave (ES)|Soundwave]] rode into battle atop him to fight against the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]] [[Razor-Fin]] and [[Blitzwave]]. He, along with all the other bots, was killed by Mandroid and revived by [[Robby Malto|Robby]] and [[Mo Malto]]. {{storylink|The Last Hope, Part 2}}

When [[Aftermath (ES)|Aftermath]] brought a body-swapped [[Twitch]] back to Decepticon Base, Hardtop could be seen bench-pressing his brother with his one arm. {{storylink|The Imposters}} When Aftermath stole Optimus Prime's trailer, the two stole it from him, taking it to the quarry to open it. The two tried shooting it, to no avail, before then putting it on a mobile conveyor belt to break it open on the rocks at the bottom of the quarry. As they were doing that, [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]] and Robby Malto attacked them to get it back, before both parties lost it to [[Skywarp (ES)|Skywarp]] and [[Nova Storm (ES)|Nova Storm]]. Later, all five thieves attempted to take the trailer one more time, before getting quickly repelled by the trailer's array of firepower. {{storylink|Dude, Where's My Trailer?}}

He was present when [[Starscream (ES)|Starscream]] made a grand speech to the Decepticons about his plans to make Earth into "New Cybertron" with the [[Emberstone]], when the [[Autobot]]s and [[Terran]]s attacked, Hardtop taking part in the ensuing battle. When Starscream used the Emberstone to raise [[Terratronus]], he and Swindle debated whose side their commander was really on, Hardtop unsure whether they were on his side. He was proven right when a mindless blow from the massive [[Titan (group)|Titan]] destroyed the cliff the Decepticons were observing the battle from. He then followed [[Shockwave (ES)|Shockwave]]'s attempt to flee, before being stopped by the [[force field]] the Terrans and Maltos created to contain the rampaging Titan. {{storylink|Witwicky, Part 2}}

When an Autobot spacecraft landed in the dome, Hardtop and the other cons sought to seize it. They hoped to use it to return to Cybertron. Their initial attack was repelled by the autocannons. After the ship ran out of power, they made another play for it. During the fight, Hardtop was soundly trounced by Optimus, greatly angering Swindle. Eventually, Optimus and Prowl were overpowered, and all the Decepticons boarded the ship and blasted off into space. {{storylink|No Soldier Left Behind}}

: ''[[Transformers: Cyberworld (toyline)#Larger_toy|Cyberworld]]'' Scorponok is the largest figure in the range, transforming from 14-inch tall robot to robotic scorpion in 4 steps. As a larger Cyberworld toy, he has a bunch of features designed to interact with smaller Cyberworld figures -his stinger can combine with his removable arms or sword to form a hover-bike, his left claw can grab and hold figures, his shoulder guns can become turret emplacements which smaller figures can man, and his chest can open up to seat toys as a battle platform. He also has a variety of lights and sounds that you can trigger by pressing in his head, which change depending on the mode. He even plays the classic transformation sound during transformation!

: The ports used to attach his claw and buzzsaw are compatible with [[Grimlock (Cyberworld)#ChompBattle|Grimlock's]] arms, so you can give him a ''T.rex'' head if you really want.

: ''[[Transformers: Cyberworld (toyline)#Larger_toy|Cyberworld]]'' Scorponok is the largest figure in the range, transforming from 14-inch tall robot to robotic scorpion in 4 steps. As a larger Cyberworld toy, he has a bunch of features designed to interact with smaller Cyberworld figures -his stinger can combine with his removable arms or sword to form a hover-bike, his left claw can grab and hold figures, his shoulder guns can become turret emplacements which smaller figures can man, and his chest can open up to seat toys as a battle platform. He also has a variety of lights and sounds that you can trigger by pressing in his head, which change depending on the mode. He even plays the classic transformation sound during transformation!

: The ports used to attach his claw and buzzsaw are compatible with [[Grimlock (Cyberworld)#ChompBattle|Grimlock's]] arms, so you can give him a ''T.rex'' head if you really want.

Menasor (G1)

{{featured}}
:''Menasor is a [[Decepticon]] [[combiner]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Menasor studioox.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Dennis the Menasor]]
'''Menasor''' was meant to be the ultimate Decepticon weapon, and perhaps he would have been if not for the fatal flaw in his design. His mind was designed to merge the psyches of the five [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] who compose his form. Unfortunately the great depth of resentment the four limb components feel towards [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]], plus the extreme differences in attitude that makes them less a team and more a destruction derby, and of course the tiny detail that they're all psychotic, has created a primal psychological rift and left Menasor an unpredictable mass of conflicting, chaotic impulses.

Extremely powerful, highly mentally unstable, and prone to violent tantrums where he lashes out at anything in range, Menasor is not a weapon to point and fire, but a raging monster to turn loose on the battlefield and then get as far out of range as possible.

Menasor is the combined form of all five Stunticons:

*[[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] (torso)
*[[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] (left arm)
*[[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] (left leg)
*[[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Strip]] (right arm)
*[[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] (right leg)

In some universes, [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]] or [[Brake-Neck (G1)|Brake-Neck]] replaces Wildrider on the team, and sometimes the "[[roller car]]" or [[Blackjack (G1)|Blackjack]] act as a sixth component forming a chestplate for the combiner.

[[File:KtVS2 Introducing Menasor.jpg|thumb|left|Don't offend the little ones, Prime!]]
Created by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] to counteract the [[Autobot]]s' rule of the road, the Stunticons were powerful in their own right, but were also equipped with a secret ability by the Decepticon leader: they were the second Decepticon combiner team, able to merge into the towering Menasor. Megatron had the Stunticons unveil their combined form to battle the Autobots' new team, the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], but [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] had predicted Menasor's existence, and had given the Aerialbots the power to combine into [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. Menasor quickly took the upper hand in the fight that ensued between the two giants, his sheer aggression driving the Autobot combiner back, trapping him in a landslide. Just as Menasor was charging his opponent with intent to impale him on a factory smokestack, however, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] appeared to intercept the Stunticon gestalt's attack. Omega freed Superion, and the two Autobots overpowered Menasor, forcing him to disengage and retreat. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

[[File:CosmicRust Menasor holds aloft bug.jpg|thumb|By the power of bumblebees!]]
When the Autobots obtained the weather-manipulating [[Pearl of Bahoudin]], Megatron had the Stunticons merged into Menasor to reclaim the device. His heavy-handed efforts did more harm than good, however, as the Pearl was knocked free from [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]]'s grasp and was swept up into a cyclone of its own making. Megatron abandoned the field of battle, leaving Menasor to menace the Autobots until the Pearl's storms wiped out all life on Earth. Bumblebee, [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] and [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] tried burying Menasor in a crevasse, but the giant's prodigious strength allowed him to tear free easily, forcing the Autobots back into a corner as he pressed his attack. Moments before the Autobots met their end, the <s>raging jackass</s> champion driver [[Auggie Cahnay (G1)|Auggie Cahnay]] hopped a cliff in his specially-designed car, launching it full speed ''straight into Menasor's face.'' Even Menasor couldn't shrug off an impact like that, and went down like a sack of tironium bricks. {{storylink|Trans-Europe Express}}

Menasor's size and strength were brought into play when the Decepticons targeted the [[Statue of Liberty]] for destruction, as he could wield the [[Antilla]]n [[Lightning Bug]] heat ray as a hand-held weapon. The Autobots defend the statue, and before Menasor could open fire with the Lightning Bug, a strafing run from the Aerialbots caused him to drop the weapon. His flying foes combined into Superion and the two titans grappling over the weapon until Superion triumphed, throwing Menasor so hard that he splintered into his component Stunticons, giving the Aerialbot combiner the chance to destroy the Lightning Bug. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

[[File:Masquerade Menasors.JPG|left|thumb|"If you are me, then who am I? This is all way too confusing for me."]]
While gathering up the components required for a new Decepticon laser weapon, the Stunticons wound up being captured by the Autobots. Looking to find out what Megatron was up to, a squad of Autobots used [[camouflage paint]] to disguise themselves as Stunticons to infiltrate the Decepticons camp, but while they were away on the mission, Breakdown managed to shake the true Stunticons free from their cells. The team united into Menasor, who felled their Autobot captors, then smashed his way out of the Autobots' volcano and took off for the Decepticons' temporary base. His arrival confused everyone, as he insisted that the "Stunticons" already present were impostors, but the Autobots were able to maintain their deception a while longer by "merging" into a Menasor form of their own through a combination of [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]'s magnetic powers and [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]]'s illusions. The two Menasors battled, but the Autobots' makeshift combination couldn't stand up to a slash from the true Menasor's sword, and their true identities were exposed. Menasor stood strong in the hail of firepower the Autobots proceeded to unleash against him, but when a cavalry of other Autobots then arrived, the combiner decided he had had enough, and fled. {{storylink|Masquerade}}

[[File:FiveFaces1 Menasor wields sword.jpg|thumb|I'll kill you if you point out that I'm just Motormaster with some cars attached to my arms!]]
When the treacherous [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] rampaged with his new [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] army, Megatron requested the assistance of the Stunticons, only to be rebuffed by Drag Strip. The Stunticons finally decided to take notice when the Combaticons' combined form of [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] defeated [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]; at first, the rowdy bunch of cars did not care if Megatron was destroyed, but they realized Starscream would not simply stop at eliminating his former leader. The team quickly formed Menasor, who dispatched Bruticus with one mighty punch. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

In 2005, following their expulsion from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the Stunticons retreated with the rest of the Decepticons to the planet of [[Chaar]]. When [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] returned with a pittance of [[energon]] to go around, the Decepticons began fighting over the small handful of cubes, but Menasor held back until a victor had emerged in the form of Devastator, whom he then attacked. Menasor chopped the energy-deprived [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] combiner into his constituent 'bots, but before he could claim his prize, the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] swooped in to snatch up the cube. At that point, [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cyclonus]] arrived to chastise the squabbling Decepticons; Menasor and Astrotrain shared a wearied look as Cyclonus and the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]]s mindlessly chanted their loyalty to the absent [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}}

In 2006, the Stunticons attempted to attack a weakened [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]], who was missing [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]], as he rescued a falling train. Unfortunately for them, no sooner had they combined into Menasor than [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] blasted their combined form in the back, disabling him before he even laid a hand on Defensor. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

[[File:FSRLFstorypage combaticon menasor.jpg|thumb|left|Brutisor, or Menacus. You decide!]]
When Menasor clashed with Superion in the heart of a major metropolitan area, the Stunticon combiner took the upper hand in the fight, but was bested when the Aerialbots separated and bound their opponent with energy ropes, making him an easy target for [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]]'s firepower. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 8|Story page #8}} Later, Menasor teamed up with Devastator to wreak some havoc on the Autobots, but the Autobots had some new backup in the form of Defensor. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 12|Story page #12}}

During a later battle with the Autobots, Motormaster combined with the Combaticons to form a variant version of Menasor with [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] and [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]] as arms, and [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] and [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] as legs. The Autobots were aghast at the sight of this new menace, {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 13|Story page #13}} but likely not ''quite'' as aghast as they were at the sight of Menasor, Devastator, and Bruticus's [[:File:GestaltTrioTVMagazine.jpg|deformed bodies]] when they later gathered for another major battle. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 16|Story page #16}}

=====Scramble City=====
{{voiceactor|[[Kōji Totani]] (Japanese)}}
[[File:Scramblecity breakdown forms an arm.jpg|thumb]]

After the Aerialbots prevented an attempt by the Decepticons to attack the subterranean construction site of their Scramble City project, the Stunticons were called into action and soon combined into Menasor to battle their airborne rivals. When Superion unveiled the full extent of the Aerialbots' [[Scramble Power]], reconfiguring his limbs to increase his power, Menasor shocked the Autobots by revealing that he too had the same ability. The Stunticons had a slightly better handle on the power, too; when [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]] forgot his position on the combiner, leaving Superion legless, Menasor disconnected Wildrider and had him take the place of Superion's missing limb, crippling the Aerialbot gestalt. A barrage from the other Autobots severed Wildrider, and the restored Superion toppled Menasor, but the Combaticons then arrived to aid the Stunticons. Menasor and Bruticus tag-teamed Superion, but were both stopped when [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City itself]] was brought into battle to end the conflict. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

=====''Transformers 2010'' story pages=====
[[File:2010storypage mixed up menasor.jpg|thumb|upright=0.5|left]]
Following the return of Galvatron and their alliance with the [[Quintesson]]s, the Decepticons renewed their offensive against the Autobots. Menasor, Bruticus and Devastator joined the Decepticons' newest combiner [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] in battling Superion and Defensor, though Predaking did most of the work as Menasor held back and smirked at the sight of his old rivals taking a beating. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (story page)#Part 2|Story page #2}} To fight back, the Autobots had to take the threat posed by Menasor and the other combiners into consideration and develop appropriate countermeasures. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (story page)#Part 4|Story page #4}}

In an "imaginary tale" that proposed an alliance between the Stunticons, Aerialbots, Combaticons and Protectobots, a version of Menasor was formed who had Vortex for a right arm, [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] as his left arm, [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] as his right leg, and Fireflight as his left leg. {{storylink|Fight!

[[File:HM2 menasor uses hotrod as shield.jpg|thumb|''"Made... In... China...?"'']]
The Stunticons participated in Galvatron's siege on Cybertron in the year 2011. They formed Menasor to fight their Autobot counterparts, but were steamrolled by the might and firepower of the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]]. Returning to Earth, they were deployed to stop what appeared to be an attempt by the Aerialbots to steal a cache of Decepticon energon in the desert, but this was a feint to keep them busy and prevent them from interfering in Hot Rod's quest for the missing [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Realizing they had been had, the team formed Menasor and sped to Hot Rod's location in the Arctic, but Superion followed and took Menasor down despite his attempt to use Hot Rod as a shield. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

In [[San Francisco]], Menasor assisted Bruticus in using [[buridanka|a carnivorous plant]] to distract the Autobots from [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s plans on [[Zarak (planet)|Zarak]]. He fought against the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]]' combined form, [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} Much later, the Stunticons assembled in the desert as their Ninja Commander [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] began issuing orders. They formed Menasor and took part in the escalating Decepticon war effort as five separate Autobot outposts were attacked simultaneously at Sixshot's command. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

[[File:HMep35 sixshot strikes menasor.jpg|thumb|left|he got hit with a getsuga tensho'']]
Following the Decepticons' apparent expulsion from Earth, Menasor was among the group who secretly did not leave the planet, but who instead withdrew to the sub-oceanic city of [[Lemuria (myth)|Lemuria]], where he oversaw the processing of [[crysmagnetal]] for Scorponok's fiendish [[Death Tower]]s. Following the towers' deployment, he joined the entire Decepticon army in battling the Autobots at the North Pole, where he would have killed [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] if Sixshot hadn't intervened on the boy's behalf, charging the combiner head-on and toppling him. When Scorponok's plan was foiled, Menasor escaped into space along with the rest of the Decepticons as the battle climaxed. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

Menasor was among the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] recruited by the Decepticons' newest [[Emperor of Destruction]], [[Violengiguar]]. Outfited with new armor and weaponry—including a giant shield that he could sling at his enemies, and some kind of funky transparent-green Phantom-of-the-Opera-lookin' half-face mask—Menasor was somewhat dubiously christened the "Intelligence General" of the group, and sent forth to conquer planets in pursuit of Violengiguar's goal of creating a [[Decepticon Zone]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} At some point, the Generals schooled [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]] and the [[Metrosquad]] in the ways of evil, making them more than formidable foes for the [[Powered Master]]s. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 7}}

Together with Overlord and Abominus, Menasor laid waste to the world of Feminia, destroying the entire planet and nearly killing Autobot leader Star Saber. With the Autobots left in disarray, Violengiguar gathered all nine of his generals together and instructed them to gather the energy sources necessary for him to create a Decepticon Zone: the Energon Z of planet Zone, and the mysterious [[Zodiac]], concealed on Earth. Menasor joined Overlord, Abominus and Bruticus in attacking Zone; the armament of the Autobots' Zone Base was no match for the giants, and Menasor smashed the [[Gasoline Base]] component to pieces with his huge shield. Overlord tore the Energon Z power core out of Zone Base, and the team immediately departed to redenzvous with the other generals and hand over the Energon Z so they could take it with them to Earth. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

=====e-HOBBY comics=====
Menasor was charging into battle against the Autobots when the dimensional intruder [[Grand Scourge]] suddenly dropped in through a tear in space-time. Menasor cared little about the new arrival's identity, moving in to crush him immediately. But with a single swift blow of Grand Scourge's [[Matrix Breaker]] sword, Menasor was split into his individual components. The Stunticons were then forced to combine with Grand Scourge, save Motormaster, who fled in terror. {{storylink|Decepticon Dark Commander Grand Scourge}}

In [[2050]], Menasor and the Decepticons joined the revolution of the [[Selector]]s against their human masters.

In battle with a scrambled version of [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], Abominus crashed into Bruticus and Menasor and stole some of their limb components to make an even stronger version of himself. {{storylink|Abominus comic 2}}

In the late 1980s, under orders from [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], Menasor joined the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] in an energy raid on [[Tokyo]]. Though challenged by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and a unit of Autobots, Menasor made short work of them by punching all he could in the face with his giant fist. His evil was bested, however, when Prime drove up a ramp and punched ''him'' in the face. The blow was powerful enough to force him to retreat. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 1|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #1}}

Menasor later attacked a baseball stadium where [[Kenji]] was on a date, intending to turn it into a new Decepticon base. Kenji quickly summoned [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] to battle the Decepticon, but Menasor was immediately aided by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. After a short skirmish, Decepticon victory seemed in the bag until Menasor got his legs knocked off. [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] and [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] then latched onto the stumps and blasted Menasor away, dumping him in the Pacific Ocean, far away from Japan. {{storylink|Fight!

Realizing in short order that these dreams were, in fact, visions of the future granted to Buster by the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] his brain had briefly housed, the Autobots and Decepticons devised a way to peer into his mind. In this dream-vision, they watched as the Stunticons formed Menasor to combat the Protectobots as they attempted to save humans at the [[Pullen Power Plant]]. Menasor found himself physically outmatched by the Protectobot gestalt Defensor, but back-up soon arrived in the form of Bruticus. While Defensor and Bruticus grappled, Superion arrived to engage Menasor; unfortunately for the Stunticon combiner, his personality problems handicapped him, with Dead End taking objection to being ordered about, leading to him firing his weapons too late to hit Superion and accidentally blasting Bruticus instead. Menasor attempted to flee, but Superion stopped his flight by opening a crevasse under his feet with his [[stress fracture cannon]].'' {{storylink|Second Generation!}} {{storylink|The Special Teams Have Arrived}}

[[File:Menasor superion heavy traffic.jpg|thumb|left]]
''Using these dreams as a blueprint'', the Decepticons constructed the Stunticons and imbued them with life via one of [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]]'s [[cerebro-shell]]s, which siphoned off the energies of the Creation Matrix as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] used it to bring the similarly created Aerialbots to life. When the two teams subsequently met in battle over the Autobot named [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] and his human passenger, [[Donny Finkleberg]], they merged into Menasor and Superion for the first time. The two gargantuan gladiators shattered a freeway overpass (or was it an entrance ramp...?) before engaging in hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately for the Autobots, the ever-unhelpful robot hunter named [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]] entered the fray for [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]] and zapped Superion, temporarily overloading his circuitry and allowing Menasor to administer the coup-de-grace, courtesy of his [[cyclone gun]]. Skids and Finkleberg disappeared in the melee, though, forcing the Stunticons to disconnect and begin searching for them anew. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic!}}

''Later, Menasor attacked a [[G.B. Blackrock|Blackrock]] fuel plant, once again drawing the attention of the Aerialbots. [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] and his team were forced to combine into Superion in order to battle the united Stunticons. Unfortunately for Silverbolt, this meant his teammates learned about his fear of heights due to the mental bleedover. Ashamed, he caused Superion to fight back extremely savagely against Menasor, almost injuring innocent civilians in the process.'' {{storylink|...Perchance to Dream}}

In [[2008]], the renegade Decepticons [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] teamed up with the freelance peacekeeping agent named [[Death's Head (G1)|Death's Head]] to assassinate Commander [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]. Cut off from the battle by a set of blast doors, [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] summoned Menasor to help him break through and deal with the traitors. The super-robot eventually succeeded, but it was too late. Shockwave was dead, and the Decepticons were forced to accept Scourge and Cyclonus as their new leaders. {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}}

===The Special Teams===
A malfunction in the systems of the Autobots' new combiner team, the Aerialbots, caused them to briefly defect to the Decepticons, but when they returned to the Autobot ranks, Megatron was inspired to compensate for their loss by creating the Stunticons. After Starscream collected the freshly-created Stunticons from Cybertron, Megatron ordered them all to rendezvous with the rest of the Decepticon force at the recently evacuated [[Pullen Power Plant]]. The Stunticons merged into Menasor to smash through the Protectobots guarding the plant, but Menasor was unprepared for the Protectobots' own ability to combine into Defensor. Bruticus soon arrived to back him up, but Superion then join the fray; Menasor and Superion squared off, with the Aerialbot combiner successfully damaging Menasor's armor with his stress fracture cannon. Having taken enough lumps for one day, Menasor disengaged into the individual Stunticons and fled. {{storylink|The Special Teams}}

Menasor was one of several combiner robots based on the original prototype, [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. He existed as the combined form of Motormaster's Stunticons, but was effectively forced into retirement by the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]], which outlawed the use of super-robots among the factions. {{storylink|Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|War Within: The Dark Ages}}

At some point in Cybertron's recent history, the Stunticons were deemed psychotic and too dangerous to function in society, and as a result were placed into perpetual stasis lock inside of a [[Detention Banks|prison facility]], much to the relief of security officer [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]]. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye #6}} However, in the year 2003, in an attempt to create a diversion while he set his final plans in motion, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] had [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] surreptitiously release the Stunticons, unleashing Menasor on an unsuspecting world once again. The deranged combiner ran amok for a while, crushing Defensor and the Wreckers when they tried to stand in his way, until [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] arrived and took up the fight. Insulting the individual Stunticons as he battled, Magnus was able to fracture Menasor's mind, causing the five Stunticons' consciousnesses to began to bickering inside his head over whose fault it was that they were losing. Temporarily paralyzed by this mental turmoil, Menasor was left wide open, and Ultra Magnus rammed the combiner in the chest, forcing him to separate into his disabled component parts. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}}

This misshapen monstrosity's raw power struck fear in all the Decepticons, but the Constructicons, Combaticons and Stunticons found the courage to combine and counter-attack. When the Beast effortlessly felled Bruticus and Devastator, however, Menasor thought twice about going through with an attack, and instead cowered before the monster, begging for mercy.

[[File:EnemiesoftheSystem menasor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|left|Menasor's only purpose in IDW fiction is get beaten up by everyone and everything.]]
Gestalt technology was the product of [[Nexus Prime]]'s [[Enigma of Combination]] in the ancient past of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and when it was lost, many dedicated themselves to rediscovering it. {{storylink|The Crucible}} Perhaps the most unexpected success was that accomplished by [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]], who stole what little of the technology had been re-engineered, reunited the scattered Stunticons after they were left behind on Earth following the Decepticon evacuation of the planet, and gave them the ability to combine into Menasor. Keeping his accomplishment a secret, Swindle forged a phoney alliance with a splinter group of Autobots led by Hot Rod, but once they had completed construction of the spacecraft to take them off Earth, he revealed his intent to steal the ship and kill the Autobots, and had the Stunticons merge into Menasor before their horrified eyes. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 4: "Enemies of the System"|Enemies of the System}} Fortunately for the Autobots, the combination wasn't seamless, and the Stunticons were left with individualized consciousnesses instead of a gestalt Menasor mind. ''Un''fortunately for Swindle's chosen first target, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]], they didn't disagree about killing him...only ''how'' to kill him. The arrival of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] gave Menasor momentary pause, long enough for [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] to recognize how uncoordinated Menasor's mind(s) was, and instruct the Autobots on exploiting that weakness. By selectively targeting the individual Stunticon components, the Autobots forced them to think of their own safety instead of Menasor's, making the giant easy prey. He was overwhelmed by their firepower, and broken down into separate Decepticons before capture. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 5: "Earthworks"|Earthworks}}

The Stunticons' makeshift combination would never function again, but represented a further step in the continuing rediscovery of the technology; Shockwave studied the records of his creation, {{storylink|Shockpoint}} which fed into the Decepticons' subsequent perfection of the process. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} When [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] later took rulership of Cybertron, he encouraged [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] to help him create a functioning combiner of his own, citing Menasor as a particularly worrisome example of a combiner created by an unlikely source. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}}

[[File:CW-returnofmenasor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|Basically the only time that Menasor posed a threat to anyone... for about five minutes or so.]]
After [[The Question|a particularly humiliating defeat]] resulted in [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] leaving the Stunticons, Offroad was brought in to replace him. As the Stunticons were explaining to him how they operated, they were approached by Swindle, who piqued their interest by showing them that he had with him the Enigma of Combination. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} Beforehand, Starscream had also arranged for [[Blackjack (G1)|Blackjack]] to join the Stunticons, fully aware that the cop's anger issues would affect the personality of a combiner... {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}}

After using the Enigma to upgrade Menasor—allowing the Stunticons to properly merge their minds—the Stunticons combined, and accompanied Swindle to the colony world of [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], ready to steal anything of value from its people. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} He appeared in front of the [[Alpha Squadron]] to menace his enemies and when [[Afterburner (G2)|one of them]] tried to arrest him, he stomped the poor bot flat. By this point Swindle realized Starscream had arranged for the Stunticons to play villains so that he could take them down and become the "savior" of Caminus, but his attempts to convince Menasor to stand down were in vain due to Blackjack's influence, which turned the combiner into an unhinged, raging monster. Menasor made short work of both Camien defenders and Starscream's reinforcements from Cybertron, but was finally brought down when Starscream and Optimus Prime deployed the Autobot combiner [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], whose mental stability prevailed over Menasor's blind rage. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}}

The Stunticons and Swindle were incarcerated in Starscream's secret prison while Starscream built relations with the Camiens. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} However, in the interim, [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] and the Constructicons returned to Cybertron and tried to use [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] to forcibly sever contact between Cybertron and Caminus, only to bet thwarted when Starscream created the Autobot combiner [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. {{storylink|The Possible Light}} {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}} Meanwhile, Starscream's advisor [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], also not wanting Starscream to form a Cybertronian empire, was colluding with Prowl. While Starscream gained Devastator's loyalty, Rattrap freed Swindle to cause a distraction while Rattrap freed Prowl. Swindle graciously complied, breaking out the Stunticons and proceeding to lie to them and several Decepticons that a better life awaited them on Caminus. The Stunticons combined into Menasor, leading the charge to Metroplex's space bridge chamber. Menasor tried to enter the portal only for Devastator to oppose him; Defensor and Superion soon joined the four-way fray. During the ensuing clash, a stray shot from Swindle hit the space bridge's control panel and destabilized the portal. Menasor and Superion fell through to an unknown, alien planet and were soon joined by Defensor and then Devastator, who demands that the other three calm down or else he would make them calm down. But then they were joined by the result of Prowl's machinations: the new combiner [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]]! {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} The combiners fought as they travelled from planet to planet, and Menasor was subsequently knocked out by Defensor and dragged back to Cybertron, where Windblade and Chromia helped subdue him. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

Later, when the [[Mistress of Flame]] wanted [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] released to Camien custody, she suggested Swindle or Menasor could be handed over instead to face justice for their crimes. Wanting to keep Menasor and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] on his side, Starscream opted to release Chromia. {{storylink|Heavy}}

===''Titanium Series'' Menasor toy bio===
With the help of experimental technology, the gestalt frame of Menasor was unified into a singular body. While the dominant personality of this new body was Motormaster, the constant mental assault on him by the supressed personalities of his Stunticon teammates made Menasor little more than a destructive monster of rage and agony, making him unable to reach his potential to be the ultimate weapon.

The creation of Menasor and his ilk led to Optimus Prime's realization that the Transformers' civil war had become a never-ending arms race, one that could only end in Cybertron's destruction. {{storylink|Prelude to Transformers: Combiner Wars - Optimus Prime}}

Menasor and [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] fought one another, a fight that spilled over to [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]]. Menasor was able to put down his Autobot enemy for good, but was soon set upon by [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Maxima]]. Declaring that combiners were here to stay, he killed Maxima after she blasted him in the eye - but Maxima's sacrifice allowed Windblade to kill the combiner. {{storylink|The Fall}} For this incident, Windblade swore vengeance against the combiners and all who followed them. {{storylink|Prelude to Transformers: Combiner Wars - Windblade}} Menasor's remains were brought back to Cybertron, where Starscream absorbed them into his giant super-combiner form. {{storylink|A War of Giants}}

For some reason or the other, Menasor and [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] were later brought back to life. Probably due to the [[Enigma of Combination]]. {{storylink|Destruction's Dawn}}

Menasor assisted in the reconstruction efforts following the end of the Combiner Wars. {{storylink|Aftermath and Rebirth}} When [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] attacked, he and the other Combiners were recruited by the [[Mistress of Flame]] to search for [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|Our Heroes Respond}} They eventually reached the [[Titan (group)|Titan]], where Menasor got distracted by a flashing button and pressed it, inadvertently launching a [[Emissary (TR)|missile]]. {{storylink|The Fight Begins}} When [[Victorion]] took control of Fortress Maximus's weapons and prepared to fire them at Trypticon, Menasor spoke up in protest, noting that the barrage would hit [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] as well, but was overruled. {{storylink|Overlord and Emissary}}

When [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] arrived at Fortress Maximus and revealed the Mistress of Flame had perished, Menasor and the other Combiners assumed him responsible and attacked. Menasor managed to grab Megatron, but was forced to release him after taking a shot to the face from his [[fusion cannon]]. Once Windblade arrived and the fight stopped long enough for Megatron to explain, Menasor fused with the other Combiners using the Enigma of Combination, turning Victorion into a super-Combiner. {{storylink|Desperate Actions}} Unfortunately, they proved no match for Trypticon and were ultimately forced to separate again, though Menasor was quick to jump back into the fray. He and Computron attempted to attack Trypticon's foot to knock him off balance, later joining the others in attacking Trypticon's fortress mode from all sides. {{storylink|In Good Hands}} When Trypticon swallowed Victorion and the Enigma, he used its power to take control of Menasor and the other Combiners, forcing them to attack Maximus and Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Consumed}} Menasor was freed form Trypticon's control after the Titan expelled the Enigma, and he bore witness to the return of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] and the death of Optimus. Believing he intended to restart the Decepticons, Menasor was all but ready to kill Megatron, but cooler heads eventually prevailed and he agreed to follow Megatron's lead in hopes of stopping Megatronus. {{storylink|All Things Must Pass}}

Unfortunately, while the others went searching for the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]] in [[Primal Swamp]], Menasor and his team were cornered by [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Cron]]. Though he refused to admit Megatron's whereabouts and tried to fight back, he was eventually restrained by Overlord, who forced him to watch as Rodimus destroyed each of [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s limbs. Finally cracking, Menasor confessed where the others had gone, only for Rodimus to finish Devastator off and Overlord to crush Menasor's neck, killing him again, causing his spark to float away. {{storylink|Volcanicus (episode)|Volcanicus}}

:Menasor is formed out of all five Stunticon toys, with Motormaster serving as the central body component, and the four smaller team members as limbs, using additional attachments for Menasor's hands and feet, a mask for his head, waist armor, and a chestplate formed from the "roller car" figure included with Motormaster. He is armed with Motormaster's sword and cyclone rifle. As a "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and Transformers 2010)|Scramble City]]"-style combiner, Menasor's limbs are fully interchangeable; any of his limb-components, or any members of the other compatible combiner teams, are able to form either an arm or leg for the giant. Menasor is the smallest, but sturdiest, of the Scramble City combiners.

:Along with Metroplex, Superion, Bruticus, and Defensor, Menasor was designed for an aborted ''[[Diaclone]]'' line that would have been called ''[[Diaclone#Jizai Gattai|Jizai Gattai]]'' (自在合体 "Limitless Combination"), which was shelved to make way for the ''Transformers'' line. Menasor's five Stunticon components could be purchased either individually, or in a giftset. A Japanese "VS-A" set that would have packaged Menasor with Superion was planned, but went unreleased.

:In his original release year of 1986, Menasor's five Stunticon components could be purchased either individually, or in a [[giftset]]. The individual Stunticons were later reissued in [[Europe]] as part of the ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' series in 1990.

:[[Redeco]]s of all five Stunticons were planned for release in [[1994]], but were canceled, with only a handful of test shots and production samples made, including a small run of [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdowns]] produced as a [[BotCon 1994|1994 BotCon]] exclusive. Given the ''Generation 2'' toyline's handling of other combiners, it is unlikely Menasor would have been released as a giftset even if the individual figures had made it to retail.

:While the number of collectors who own ''Generation 2'' Menasor is vanishingly small in ''this'' universe, at least one collector in [[Unicron Trilogy|''another'' universe]] has managed to snag himself [[Generation 2 Defensor and Menasor|a set]]—Decepticon toy aficionado [[Shortround (Cybertron)|Shortround]]!

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

:Part of the third wave of [[Kreon]] [[Micro-Changer]] combiner sets, Menasor comes as a set of four component Kreons: Breakdown, Dead End, Drag Strip, and Motorbreath. The Kreons can be built into their robot modes or their vehicle modes, or they can be built into Menasor by taking them apart and combining their pieces.

:Like the entire Micro Changer combiner sets, Menasor comes with only one Kre-O display brick, and a sticker sheet composed of his leg detailing and a ''Kre-O'' logo. Due to the leg stickers being slightly transparent, applying them into the black-colored leg parts can render the details being semi-transparent. The instructions also did not mention on where you should put the ''Kre-O'' logo sticker. Also, Menasor's combined mode's waist part is somehow prone to falling off from the assembly while posing, and he has a problem standing straight due to how the legs are constructed.

:As Kreon combiners only involve four components, ''Kre-O'' [[Wildrider (G1)#Kre-O|Brake-Neck]] instead ended up as a Series 4 blind-bagged figure. However he can built along with the gestalt if you have any creativity.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

:Part of the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' subline, ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Menasor is an entirely new mold Scramble City-style combiner made up of four Deluxe figures ([[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Dragstrip]], [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]], [[Dead End (G1)#Combiner Wars|Dead End]], and new member [[Offroad (CW)#Toys|Offroad]]) as limbs, a Voyager figure ([[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]]) as the torso, and [[Blackjack (G1)#Generations|Blackjack]] for the chestplate. He can wield a large, [[5 mm post]] sword formed by connecting Motormaster's smaller sword to his gun and can also hold any of the Deluxe components' smaller weapons. He was announced at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[2014]] along with fellow combiner Superion. His stock photo cleverly concealed an online listing image of ''Generations'' Huffer and Blackjack. A few months after the other Stunticons' release, [[Wildrider (G1)#Generations|Brake-Neck]] (actually Wildrider, renamed due to trademark reasons) was announced and released shortly thereafter, intended to replace Offroad and complete the original Stunticon roster.

:Menasor is considered the least-stable Combiner of the entire ''Combiner Wars'' line, due to the various design failures that plague Motormaster's design which will more likely than not cause him to fall apart. Such issues include but are not limited to: bad hip articulation due to poorly-designed ratchet joints which complicates his ability to stand any way other than straight and stiff (further complicated by the lack of ankle articulation necessary to compensate), shoulder mechanisms that come untabbed due to weak lock tolerances if the arms are moved, a problematic waist swivel caused by the skirt flap being attached to the stomach instead of the pelvis, and the inability to keep Blackjack securely attached to the chest due to incorrectly-molded sizing in the tabs. Although the hip ratchet problem was (slightly) resolved with an updated re-release of Motormaster that included remolded ratchets, the other problems were not addressed by the rerelease or subsequent redecos.

:Although heavily based on the G1 design for Menasor, the Generations iteration of Menasor instructs the legs to be attached with the car body facing forward, as opposed to facing backwards like the G1 toy. Although the undersides of the Stunticons resemble the G1 toys enough to resemble the G1 design if attached backwards, doing so will rob Menasor of his functional knees, ironic due to the fact the reverse was done to give the G1 Menasor toy functioning knees.

:As a part of the first and second wave promotion in Hasbro's Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s and [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]]s was given out when purchasing any four Deluxe Class toys from those waves. As such, Menasor was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-generations-combiner-wars-free-g1-sticker-sheet-with-tru-singapore/32469/ Aerialbot and Stunticon sticker promotion on Seibertron.com]</ref> These sticker sheets did not include stickers for Brake-Neck or Blackjack, however.

{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] and [[Hisao Nishimoto]] (TakaraTomy)}}
:Takara's ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' iteration of Menasor was sold in a gift set including all five "Stuntrons" (minus [[Runabout (RID)|the Blackjack mold]]) with Wildrider (a retooled Dead End) included instead of Offroad. He has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon. Most notably, Motormaster has more black on his vehicle mode, "Drag Stripe" has red details instead of purple, and Dead End lacks his usual gold stripe. The set also features some minor improvements to the original sculpts, such as improved hip-ratchets for Motormaster for increased stability. In addition, Breakdown's hand/foot/gun accessory (which was designed with the intended Sunstreaker redeco/retool in mind, doubling as his "supercharger" engine) was replaced with another version of Dragstrip's hand/foot/gun accessory, which also increases the symmetry for the hands and feet.

:As the entirety of Motormaster is molded in [[Gold Plastic Syndrome#Other notable instances|swirly plastic]], Menasor/Motormaster's waist can eventually crack and split the torso in half.

:Printed on his instructions is the second chapter of ''[[Unite Warriors Offshot]]''. Undocumented in the instructions, ''Unite Warriors'' Menasor's chest can attach ''Adventure'' [[Runabout (RID)|Runabout]] (or his mold mates Blackjack and Rodimus) on his combined mode chest.

:The giftset also included a collector commemorative coin when purchased in select retailers outside Japan.

:The first combiner figure released in the main ''Generations'' line since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Menasor is based heavily on the character's appearance in the original Generation 1 cartoon. To match this design—which depicted the Stunticons as if they were simply hanging off Menasor's limbs, rather than actually forming the limbs themselves—the toy features a very unconventional combination method that involves Motormaster's trailer splitting into five combiner-body pieces—two arms, two legs, and a torso—to which the individual Stunticons attach. When attached to the arm pieces, hidden buttons on the arm Stunticons are pressed that allow them to split in two, giving Menasor a full range of elbow articulation; the leg Stunticons, meanwhile, activate an auto-transform feature in the leg pieces themselves, closing up the front of the leg to "complete" its appearance. Motormaster himself forms the upper block of the chest and the head. Nearly every one of Menasor's joints is constructed using strong ratchets, adding a great deal of stability to him overall.
[[File:Hasbro China Tmall Exclusive Legacy Menasor Boxset.jpg|thumb|left]]

:As the other Stunticons themselves do not actually play a role in the combination process, it is possible—and indeed, advertised on the back of Motormaster's packaging—to combine most of the trailer pieces into a skeletal, incomplete Menasor even if you don't have any of the limb-bots. Unlike past toys of Menasor, the ''Legacy'' Stunticons are not interchangeable, each designed to form a specific limb; at most, you can swap the legs, Breakdown and Wild Rider, for one another. Although the ''Legacy'' Stunticons are not designed to be reverse-compatible with the older ''Combiner Wars'' figures, Motormaster's combination system features ''Combiner Wars'' joint-sized recesses, which technically allow any ''Combiner Wars''-compatible figure to be used as a leg for Menasor, although the connected ''Combiner Wars'' leg will not secure inside the recess and not scale properly if used with a native Menasor leg. The middle portion of Motormaster's trailer is also not involved in the combination. ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' [[Superion (G1)#Age of the Primes|Superion]] makes use of the same frame system as Menasor, and can swap his parts with him, although the bots that connect to the frames cannot be attached to the other combiner’s ones, in addition to the fact Superion's legs are somewhat shorter than Menasor's. Both of his shins share identical detailing due to the scrapped original plan for Breakdown to be a straight redeco of Wildrider with zero retooling.

:His forearms have molded details based on his arm blasters from "[[Masquerade]]".

:According to designer [[John Warden]], he devised the basics of this unique combination scheme with Shogo Hasui, passing a napkin back and forth as they split a hamburger.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=I remember famously splitting a hamburger Hasui, I tell this story all the time, where we went to a bar and grill and the hamburger was too big, and so we split it down the middle, and we were drawing on napkins having a back-and-forth to each other, and during that meeting we devised the idea of how to make Menasor.

:In January 2023, the entirety of Menasor was sold as a boxset exclusive to Hasbro China's Tmall store. It contained all 5 components, unchanged and in their original packaging, inside of a larger box decorated with an illustration of Menasor. The set came with an enamel pin based on the combiner's original G1 box illustration. The set was limited to 100 copies.

:An unpainted figurine of Menasor was available as part of the second range of [[Kabaya]]'s line of ''[[Transformers Ramune]]'' [[candy toy]]s, tying in with the ''Scramble City'' toyline. Like all figures in the series, Menasor was sold in a [[Blindpacking|blindpacked]] box with fizzy "ramune" candy, and featured a main body was made of hard red plastic, with soft grey PVC limbs articulated at the hips and shoulders.

:Later in 1986, in the third ''Ramune'' wave, Menasor was among the characters immortalized as a soft rubber figurine, known as a ''keshigomu'' in Japan. He was available in either red, blue, or yellow colors, and as before, came blindpacked with ramune candy. While similar to the separate range of ''keshigomu'' figures released by Takara that would later be imported by Hasbro as part of their [[Decoy]] promotion, Menasor and his wave-mates saw no American release.

All five figures are snap-together model kits that use stickers for details and come with a stick of gum; Dead End and Breakdown share a mold, as do Drag Strip and Wildrider, each kit affecting minor differences in how they are assembled to differentiate the figures beyond color, which, aside from Motormaster, bear no resemblance to any previous established color schemes for the Stunticons.

==Notes==
[[File:MenasorEarly.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9|Menasor got dressed in a rush this morning.]]
[[File:MenasorDevastationConcept.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

* Menasor's [[instructions]] and [[package art]] depict Drag Strip and Breakdown as his arms, and Wildrider and Dead End as his legs, while the [[character model]] used for the cartoon and comic—which has gone on to become the "default" arrangement for Menasor in most subsequent media—makes Drag Strip and Dead End the arms, and Breakdown and Wildrider the legs. An alternate model, designed by [[Studio OX]] for the ''[[TV Magazine]]'' manga and story pages, seen at the top of this article, makes Drag Strip and Wildrider the arms, and Breakdown and Dead End the legs. Drag Strip's the only one in the same place in every configuration!
* An alternate animation character sheet from the original cartoon exists for Menasor. It features all of the limbs in different orientations (the arms upside-down, the legs upside down and reversed with the car sides facing front) from the final model ''and'' the chest sports an Autobot symbol, suggesting, perhaps, that the Stunticon and Aerialbot toy factions may have originally been the other way around. This model was used for the toy [[commercial]] which appeared to introduce the Stunticons and Aerialbots, though with the faction symbol corrected.
* The animators frequently misinterpreted Menasor's character model in the original cartoon. Instead of having the four small Stunticons as his actual limbs (with, for example, his fist directly attached to Drag Strip's form), he was drawn as though the four cars attached on top of generic blocky limbs that extended from Motormaster.
** Menasor's original design featured in IDW's [[The Transformers (IDW)|ongoing series]] features a modified version of this idea; Motormaster's separating parts form the torso, forearms, hands, and feet of Menasor's body, with the Stunticons filling the missing gaps in the body. When Menasor returned after being rebuilt by the Enigma of Combination, his design was altered to resemble the toy featured in the concurrently running ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' toyline, and returns to the traditional combiner limb setup.
** Conversely, Menasor's appearance in ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]'' combines his classic Generation 1 and ''Combiner Wars'' designs. While combining, the Stunticons instead attach directly on top of Motormaster's limbs before merging with them to form Menasor's limbs. The resulting Menasor design uses the torso and arms from his G1 design, and uses the CW design for the legs, chest and head. Offroad is featured in this design instead of Wildrider, and although he does not appear with the Stunticon grouping prior to combining or when Menasor briefly separates, Blackjack takes the place of the Roller Car on Menasor's chest, materializing directly from Motormaster himself.

[[File:Volcanicus-Machinima.jpg|right|thumb|300px|K ...I ...L ...L]]

'''Volcanicus''' is the fearsome combination of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] that was 65 million years in the making, and is now ready to deliver the [[Decepticon]]s a world of pain. Considering the Dinobots' reputations as brainless brutes, Volcanicus is similarly a mindless beast as a result, but given how it hasn't stopped the Dinobots before, it's not much of a problem.

Volcanicus comprises:
*[[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] (torso)
*[[Slag (G1)|Slug]] (left arm)
*[[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] (right arm)
*[[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] (left leg)
*[[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] (right leg)

He sometimes consists of six Dinobots with an alternative configuration.

* Grimlock (left leg)
* Slug (upper torso)
* Sludge (lower torso)
* [[Skar (IDW)|Scarr]] (left arm)
* Swoop (right arm)

The Dinobots attacked [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and his team in [[Primal Swamp]], believing the Decepticon leader to be behind the recent apocalyptic threat. When all five were forced to the ground, the Dinobots formed Volcanicus to turn the tide of the battle. {{storylink|The Swamp}} He tussled with the others for a while, being pretty much untouchable, until he was knocked off guard by a surprise attack from the arriving [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. {{storylink|Volcanicus (episode)|Volcanicus}} He quickly recovered from this and began chasing Predaking, who himself was chasing the others. They both finally stopped their assault as they witnessed Megatron enter a mysterious dome. {{storylink|Without Warning}} As they waited for Megatron to re-emerge, he started another fight with Predaking, but was knocked to the ground and got stuck in an energon pool.

When the [[Quintesson]]s escaped their dimensional prison, they arrived on [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]] in the year [[2050]], where they spotted and hoped to subdue the Dinobots to use as merchandise. Towards this goal, they summoned [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], who had the Dinobots on the ropes till Grimlock was encouraged by telepathic messages from the [[Primus|Oracle]] of the past universe to use [[Earth]]'s [[Angolmois Energy]] to manifest his heart's strength in reality. With this energy and the lending of an [[Energon Matrix]] from [[Kakuryu (G1)|Grimmaster]], Grimlock and the other four original Dinobots combined into the mighty Volcanicus. Predaking attempted to use [[Slash (POTP)|Slash]] as a hostage, but the [[Magma Blade (GS)|Magma Blade]]s-armed Volcanicus was nevertheless able to slash Predaking apart into his [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]] components, who quickly retreated, and save his "little sister". Soon after, Volcanicus was contacted by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]] about the [[Selector]] revolt at [[Neo Scramble City]], so Volcanicus's components split up to go and assist their allies. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 1}}

The Dinobots aided the humans against the [[Cybertron Alliance]] and Selectors because of their loyalty to Carly. The [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s were also loyal to their father, Grimlock, and merged with him as a variant of Volcanicus called [[Volcaticon]]. The Quintessons intervened on the battle with anti-Transformer gas, and so Volcaticon deconstructed so that Grimlock could reform Volcanicus with the Dinobots while the Technobots assembled separately as [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. {{Storylink|Volcanicus comic 2}}

Volcanicus and Computron soon realized they were at a disadvantage against the arriving [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s, though. Computron had restored Grimlock's super-intelligence when they merged as Volcaticon, and now lacked the accumulated knowledge necessary to feed his analytics. Meanwhile, the hyper-intelligent Grimlock inside Volcanicus lost his animal ferocity in this "improved" state. {{Storylink|Abominus comic 1}} Given a reprieve, Computron reabsorbed his intelligence from Volcanicus before engaging the Terrorcons' combiner, [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], but to no avail. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] infused himself with Angolmois Energy to counter Abominus, only to be driven out of control himself. Volcanicus used the Angolmois in his Magma Blade to deflect the reformatted Megatron Omega's attack, teaming up with Abominus against him. Volcanicus and Abominus could not prevail, but soon a wormhole opened in space, drawing the Primitive warriors back into the past. {{Storylink|Abominus comic 2}}

Volcanicus and the Dinobots were used as pawns by Primus, knowing they could be easily directed against their old enemy and his rival, [[Primacron]]. Grimlock assembled Volcanicus to fight Neo Primus, the transformed [[Blue Planet (GS)|Blue Planet]] and the first planet-sized robot Primacron created. {{Storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Prelude|Finale Prelude}} Even Volcanicus could not defeat a planet alone, but [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]] and the Terrorcons had followed through the wormhole and chowed down on the Angolmois inside the Blue Planet. Hun-Gurr caught the Magma Blade when Volcanicus was disarmed and charged it with the energy inside him, returning it as the Angolmois Blade. This sword was powerful enough to disrupt Neo Primus, converting it back into the Blue Planet. {{Storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}

After Snarl returned from Nebulos and retrieved the plans for the Quintesson Hive Matrix, he stated that the Dinobots would soon be one. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Mission Accomplished}}

Grimlock wanted to form his combined form almost immediately, so he got help from Jetfire to open the Enigma vault and got his hands on the Enigma. But Swoop noticed a cerebro-shell in the back of Jetfire's head! Trying to form Volcanicus, Grimlock ordered the Dinobots to combine, but nothing happened. As it turned out, the Dinobots didn't know ''how'' to work the Enigma. Soon, Bruticus and Superion arrived on the scene, and the two duked it out while Grimlock desperately tried to figure out how to use the Enigma.

Learning of the Dinobots' actions, Optimus activated the Enigma, creating Volcanicus and Predaking in the process! Springer retrieved the Enigma, but the Dinobots and Predacons had unfinished business, so they settled on finishing the score later, in their new combined forms.

*'''Weapons''': Volcanicus is surprisingly versatile being the Dinobot Combiner. He attacks by jumping onto things and smashing them with his fists or his sword.

*'''Abilities''':
**'''Energo-Sword''' - Jump and strike with the Energo-Sword! Deals massive damage to the target and anything directly behind it.
**'''Fire And Brimstone''' - Set a wide area on fire dealing an average of 2,280 damage over 8 seconds.

:Part of the ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' subline of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'', Volcanicus is formed from Voyager Class Dinobot Grimlock and the four Deluxe Class Dinobots. ([[Slash (POTP)#Toys|Slash]] isn't officially part of the combiner, but it can be done [[Fan mode|if you're particularly creative]].)

:As a ''[[Combiner#TermsForCombiners|Scramble City]]''-style combiner, Volcanicus can also utilize any ''Combiner Wars''-style Deluxe as a limb. His [[Enigma of Combination]] is dubbed the '''Dinobot Enigma''', and can be installed within Grimlock's dino-head's mouth on Volcanicus's chest, or it can also be stored in any of the fists or feet (and by extension, so can a [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]], [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]], even an entire Matrix of Leadership). The two extraneous hands can be used to either bulk up the lower torso or peg into the backs of the feet as heels for additional stability.

:Due to his very wide shoulders and top-heavy design, Volcanicus is very prone to leaning forward, though not enough to topple over thanks to his long feet. His hips are also formed from Grimlock's thighs with no means of securing them in place, which can lead to some crouching poses collapsing under the weight of his upper body. The shoulders also have the tendency to disconnect from Grimlock's robot wings.

:In China, Volcanicus was released in a box set as an exclusive for Hasbro China's T-Mall site. The box set also came with a Volcanicus-themed notepad, and a code for the ''Earth Wars'' game.<ref>https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=559183834163&skuId=3853426938808</ref>

:''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' Volcanicus is a redeco of his earlier ''Power of the Primes'' self, but with a cartoon-inspired deco taking cues from Generation 1 and Volcanicus's appearance in the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'' cartoon. Every member is now generously coated in silver paint and some plastics have been swapped around for further Generation 1 cartoon-accuracy. He also comes with new parts such as the gestalt feet, a pair of guns based on Grimlock's original handgun, two "Volca-Vulcan" cannons meant to fill in gaps in Volcanicus's chest, and a huge pair of "Magma Blades" (based on the sword he wields in ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]'', itself based on that of ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]).

: He also reuses several combiner parts from ''Generations Selects'' [[King Poseidon#Generations|King Poseidon]], most obviously the fists. Furthermore, the combiner joint ratchets throughout have been strengthened (including Grimlock's leg joints), which makes this Volcanicus more stable than his predecessor, although it is slightly difficult to flip the joints out of the Dinobots' chests.

:Volcanicus was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive, also made available from [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the USA.

: A multi-wave undertaking in ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Evolution|Legacy: Evolution]]'', Volcanicus is formed from six Core Class toys. Slug and Sludge form the upper and lower torso, with Grimlock as the left leg, Scarr and Swoop as the arms, and Snarl as the right leg. This formation is completely different from the original ''Power of the Primes'' figure, but it is a dead-ringer for [[Dinoking]]; which this figure was eventually retooled into.

:Volcanicus's limbs are not designed to swap with each other, as the ports for Swoop and Scarr's fist guns are different, while Grimlock and Snarl's combiner knee joints are differently positioned.

:Volcanicus is capable of wielding Snarl's sword in either hand, though it's relatively tiny compared to his body.

==Notes==
*Volcanicus's sword in ''Earth Wars'' is based on the one used by ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]. The ''Power of the Primes'' toy does not include this sword, whereas the ''Generations Selects'' toy includes two.
*The ''Earth Wars'' design, the [[New York Comic Con|NYCC]] 2017 prototype, the packaging art, and the ''Power of the Primes'' cartoon depict Volcanicus with Sludge's head facing down, but the instructions show his head pointing upwards. Similarly, Slug's head points outwards in ''Earth Wars'' and the packaging art, but upwards in the cartoon and on the toy itself.
*Back in [[1990]], four of the original five Dinobot designs served as the templates for the "Geisters", recurring villainous henchmen on the Takara/Sunrise co-production ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave Exkaiser]]''. In what might be called a vision of things to come, the four were once briefly fused into a single robot called "[[:File:MadGeister.jpg|Mad Geister]]" (マッドガイスター ''Maddo Gaisutā''). However, because each Geister controlled a portion of the combined body—and they had the accumulated brain power of a Froot Loop—this ended rather badly for them. In a more successful (if not [[Mega-Dinobot|also prescient]]) later development, the Geisters learned to merge in groups of two, with Ptera Geist and Thunder Geist forming the centaur-esque "[[:File:PtederAndHormor.jpg|Pteder]]" (プテダー ''Putedā'') and Horn Geist and Armor Geist forming "[[:File:PtederAndHormor.jpg|Hormor]]" (ホーマー ''Hōmā'').

([[Slash (POTP)#Toys|Slash]] isn't officially part of the combiner, but it can be done [[Fan mode|if you're particularly creative]].)

:As a ''[[Combiner#TermsForCombiners|Scramble City]]''-style combiner, Volcanicus can also utilize any ''Combiner Wars''-style Deluxe as a limb. His [[Enigma of Combination]] is dubbed the '''Dinobot Enigma''', and can be installed within Grimlock's dino-head's mouth on Volcanicus's chest, or it can also be stored in any of the fists or feet (and by extension, so can a [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]], [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]], even an entire Matrix of Leadership). The two extraneous hands can be used to either bulk up the lower torso or peg into the backs of the feet as heels for additional stability.

:Due to his very wide shoulders and top-heavy design, Volcanicus is very prone to leaning forward, though not enough to topple over thanks to his long feet. His hips are also formed from Grimlock's thighs with no means of securing them in place, which can lead to some crouching poses collapsing under the weight of his upper body. The shoulders also have the tendency to disconnect from Grimlock's robot wings.

:In China, Volcanicus was released in a box set as an exclusive for Hasbro China's T-Mall site. The box set also came with a Volcanicus-themed notepad, and a code for the ''Earth Wars'' game.<ref>https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=559183834163&skuId=3853426938808</ref>

:*''Hasbro ID number'': '''TT-GS11'''
:* ''Accessories'': 2 guns, 2 swords, 2 "[[Magma Blade (GS)|Magma Blade]]s", 2 arm-mounted "Volca-Vulcan" cannons, twin 'stunner' laser rifle, 2 foot-plates, left & right fists

:''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' Volcanicus is a redeco of his earlier ''Power of the Primes'' self, but with a cartoon-inspired deco taking cues from Generation 1 and Volcanicus's appearance in the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'' cartoon. Every member is now generously coated in silver paint and some plastics have been swapped around for further Generation 1 cartoon-accuracy. He also comes with new parts such as the gestalt feet, a pair of guns based on Grimlock's original handgun, two "Volca-Vulcan" cannons meant to fill in gaps in Volcanicus's chest, and a huge pair of "Magma Blades" (based on the sword he wields in ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]'', itself based on that of ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]).

: He also reuses several combiner parts from ''Generations Selects'' [[King Poseidon#Generations|King Poseidon]], most obviously the fists. Furthermore, the combiner joint ratchets throughout have been strengthened (including Grimlock's leg joints), which makes this Volcanicus more stable than his predecessor, although it is slightly difficult to flip the joints out of the Dinobots' chests.

:Volcanicus was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive, also made available from [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the USA.

: A multi-wave undertaking in ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Evolution|Legacy: Evolution]]'', Volcanicus is formed from six Core Class toys. Slug and Sludge form the upper and lower torso, with Grimlock as the left leg, Scarr and Swoop as the arms, and Snarl as the right leg. This formation is completely different from the original ''Power of the Primes'' figure, but it is a dead-ringer for [[Dinoking]]; which this figure was eventually retooled into.

:Volcanicus's limbs are not designed to swap with each other, as the ports for Swoop and Scarr's fist guns are different, while Grimlock and Snarl's combiner knee joints are differently positioned.

:Volcanicus is capable of wielding Snarl's sword in either hand, though it's relatively tiny compared to his body.

==Notes==
*Volcanicus's sword in ''Earth Wars'' is based on the one used by ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]. The ''Power of the Primes'' toy does not include this sword, whereas the ''Generations Selects'' toy includes two.
*The ''Earth Wars'' design, the [[New York Comic Con|NYCC]] 2017 prototype, the packaging art, and the ''Power of the Primes'' cartoon depict Volcanicus with Sludge's head facing down, but the instructions show his head pointing upwards. Similarly, Slug's head points outwards in ''Earth Wars'' and the packaging art, but upwards in the cartoon and on the toy itself.
*Back in [[1990]], four of the original five Dinobot designs served as the templates for the "Geisters", recurring villainous henchmen on the Takara/Sunrise co-production ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave Exkaiser]]''. In what might be called a vision of things to come, the four were once briefly fused into a single robot called "[[:File:MadGeister.jpg|Mad Geister]]" (マッドガイスター ''Maddo Gaisutā''). However, because each Geister controlled a portion of the combined body—and they had the accumulated brain power of a Froot Loop—this ended rather badly for them. In a more successful (if not [[Mega-Dinobot|also prescient]]) later development, the Geisters learned to merge in groups of two, with Ptera Geist and Thunder Geist forming the centaur-esque "[[:File:PtederAndHormor.jpg|Pteder]]" (プテダー ''Putedā'') and Horn Geist and Armor Geist forming "[[:File:PtederAndHormor.jpg|Hormor]]" (ホーマー ''Hōmā'').

[[File:BB1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|You'll shoot your eye out, kid.]]
'''BB''' ({{ruby|BB|ビービー}} ''Bībī'') isn't particularly intelligent. You can tell by looking at him and ''especially'' by listening to him. His personal dictionary begins and ends with the word "Roger" which he uses as an affirmative, as a query, and as a complete sentence. BB opts to let his partner [[Starscream (BW)|Starscream]] do most of his thinking for him and unquestioningly goes along with all his power plays.

Luckily for BB, intelligence isn't necessarily required to make use of the firepower he's packing. Loaded to capacity with missiles, missiles, ''missiles'', BB will carpet bomb his enemies back to the Stone Age before they even hear him say "-ger". And in addition to his jet and tank modes, BB can combine with Starscream to create the [[Formation Scream]], as if he wasn't tough enough already.

Eventually, BB was upgraded by [[Angolmois Energy]] into the [[Cyborg Beast]] '''Max-B''' (マックスビー ''Makkusu Bī''). While it didn't improve his intellect, the power boost has made him even stronger in combat. It also slightly improved his expressive vocabulary with the word "Max".

[[File:NewForces CybertronBBStarscream.jpg|left|thumb|"Get em', Knuckles!"]]
BB was the brawn of a [[Combatron (BW)|Combatron]] jet duo with [[Starscream (BW)|Starscream]]. They served [[Galvatron (BW)|Galvatron]] aboard the ''[[Galvaburg II]]'' when he brought his Predacons to the planet [[Gaia]], in search of the amazing powers of [[Angolmois Energy]]. {{storylink|The New Forces Arrive!}} When Galvatron fell into a coma shortly after arriving on the planet, BB aided in Starscream's conspiracy to ingratiate themselves with the new self-appointed [[Emperor of Destruction]], Galvatron's [[relatives|younger brother]] [[Megastorm]]. They planned to be the first to capture the mysterious white lion that had caught the interest of both Galvatron and Megastorm. While aiding Starscream during the capture mission of the white lion, BB mistakenly fired a missile payload at it—something the comedy duo, [[Dirge (BW)|Dirge]] and [[Thrust (BW)|Thrust]] witnessed. Being humiliated, Starscream had BB block their competition out in a smokescreen missile, leading Dirge and Thrust to crash into a cliffside. Starscream and BB then captured the lion in a net missile and presented the net humbly to Megastorm back at base. Unfortunately, the lion was actually the Maximal commander [[Lio Convoy]], who unleashed his rage and arsenal on the Predacons for the damage they had done to the creatures and natural order of Gaia. Starscream, BB, and Megastorm were quickly driven into retreat. {{storylink|White Lion, Run!}}

[[File:BWII Starscream Riding BB.jpg|thumb]]
After the last debacle, Megastorm wanted the chance to redeem himself against Lio Convoy and take credit for dispatching him. He ordered his subordinates to find Lio Convoy but not engage, merely report the Maximal commander's position to him. Starscream and BB avoided conflict with other, less-important Maximals while on their search and dispatched Dirge and Thrust in a rockslide to prevent any competition. The Maximal [[Bighorn]] would not be denied, however, and his thirst for combat finally forced Megastorm, Starscream, and BB to fight with him, where he proved surprisingly effective. {{storylink|Bighorn's Rage}}

BB was present when Starscream orchestrated a plot to catch the Maximals in a lakeside trap. When the plan was spoiled, BB started firing missiles in the tight hallways of the pressurized, underwater base. Megastorm, deciding to cut his losses, remotely blew up the base with his men still inside. {{storylink|The Lake Trap}}

BB continued taking part in Starscream's plans to gain Megastorm's favor. {{storylink|Galvatron Revived}} However, after retrieving the recently woken—and recently put back into a coma—Galvatron without Megastorm's consent, Starscream and BB left Megastorm off-balance on whether they were conspiring against him. {{storylink|Mystery of the Ancient Ruins}}

When Dirge and Thrust were trounced thoroughly by [[Insectron]]s native to the Southern Continent, Starscream confidently told Megastorm he could devise a plan to eliminate the threat. Starscream and BB set up a series of energy nets in the Insectrons' territory, planning to capture the bugs and then free them, claiming the traps had been set by the Maximals. They successfully made contact with [[Bigmos]] and [[Tonbot]] this way, and left the Insectrons with a falsified data disc containing information on the Maximals. This sent Bigmos and Tonbot into a battle with Lio Convoy's crew, which Starscream and BB secretly intervened on by trying to collapse an entire ravine on the two factions with their missiles. The Maximals and Insectrons survived, but Starscream and BB's involvement in the rockslide was left undiscovered. {{storylink|The Insect Corps Arrive}}

For his next trick, Starscream and BB fired upon the Maximals Diver, Bighorn, and Tasmania Kid, luring them into the nest of another group of Insectrons, [[Scissor Boy]], [[Powerhug (BW)|Powerhug]], and [[Drill Nuts]]. He begged his Insectron "friends" to save them from the pursuing Maximals, leading to another fight between the two groups. When the Maximals dropped low on power from fighting the Insectrons, BB and the other Combatrons emerged to finish them off. Unfortunately, Lio Convoy and the other Maximals arrived to reinforce their ailing friends. {{storylink|Friend or Foe? The Insect Robos}}

BB once again aided Starscream in his final plot involving the Maximals and Insectrons. Alas, when Galvatron found Starscream's special stash of oil used to fulfill his plan, their drunken leader's rampage proved to be the final catalyst for the Maximals and Insectrons joining forces and making a lasting peace. {{storylink|The Strongest Tag Team?}}

After their previous failures, Megastorm had the Autorollers dispatched to deal with the Insectrons. Disgraced, Starscream and BB shadowed the Autorollers and discovered their leader, [[Autostinger]], was owed a debt from the Insectrons' leader Bigmos from long ago. Stinger tried to get Bigmos to return the debt by stepping aside so the Autorollers could eliminate the Maximals, but Bigmos escaped the debt another way and challenged Autostinger to a duel. As the Maximals, Insectrons, and Autorollers present entered a cave system for the bout, Starscream saw an opportunity. He had BB blast the mountain with missiles, hoping to eliminate his competition and enemies in one act. Unfortunately for Starscream and BB, all the combatants survived the sneak attack. {{storylink|Autorollers Roll Out!}}

Starscream and BB were out on patrol when the Autorollers brought their captives Tasmania Kid and [[Scissor Boy]] back to the ''Galvaburg II''. Megastorm tried to call the Combatrons back to help him when the Maximals and Insectrons arrived to protect their friends, but they arrived too late and Megastorm had to move the ship to escape their enemies' onslaught. {{storylink|Danger! Scissor Boy}}

Starscream was spying on the Autorollers' fortress operation after their failures led to the unit being removed from Insectron duty. Rejected, the Autorollers planned to undermine Starscream's standing in the Predacons and eliminate the Insectrons in one swoop by causing explosions of Angolmois Energy around the continent using their underground pipelines. To preserve his status, Starscream had BB shut down the main pipeline, causing a build-up back at the Autorollers' fortress that would destroy the would-be-usurpers permanently. Starscream's dazzling victory dance was interrupted when simple BB asked if Starscream would be doing the Autorollers' heavy-lifting assignments once they were destroyed. As Starscream stopped short to consider the indignity of manual labor, the rampaging Galvatron pierced the pipelines and began guzzling Angolmois Energy, growing to gigantic size. As his former leader-turned-kaiju started stomping through the countryside, Starscream motioned to BB and they fled before anyone realized what they had done. {{storylink|Galvatron Rampages}}

As Megastorm ordered a massive attack on the South Continent, Starscream, BB and the Combatrons fought against the Maximals and Insectrons once more. {{storylink|Predacon General Offensive!}}

Soon, Galvatron was back on his feet and in control of his own mind. Starscream's boot-licking immediately shifted back to Galvatron instead of Megastorm, much to the Duke of Destruction's chagrin. Starscream and BB were dispatched to locate a mysterious ship making a forced landing on Gaia, and got into a battle with the Maximals over the wreck. They were soon confronted with the pilots, however, a trio called the [[Jointron]]s in their combination form as [[Tripledacus]]. Tripledacus humbled Starscream and BB, sending them fleeing back to the ''Galvaburg II''. Galvatron wanted this mighty warrior dealt with, and sent the duo back out to find him. However, they had no idea Tripledacus was a combiner, and ignored the Jointrons when they first spotted them. {{storylink|The Combined Giant, Tripledacus}}

[[File:BW II e16 Starscream BB Combine.jpg|right|thumb]]
BB continued to aid in Starscream's attempts to seek Galvatron's favor, subtly undermining Megastorm and putting him down while advancing his own position. {{storylink|The Festive Jointrons}} In an attempt to eliminate the Jointrons, Starscream and BB coated two of the three Jointrons with their bacteria bombs, leaving them incapable of forming Tripledacus and on the run. Unfortunately, Lio Convoy and the other Maximals arrived to teach the Jointrons a lesson in teamwork, and the trio shared energy to eradicate the bacteria bomb's effects, driving off Starscream and BB once more. {{storylink|A Fearsome Combination Plan?}}

Galvatron modified his orders, dictating that the Jointrons be captured so that their transformation sequence could be analyzed for the creation of a Predacon combiner. Starscream and BB rigged some net missiles and staked out one of the Autorollers' fortress sites to catch their prey. The Jointrons were squabbling with each other, making the Predacons' job that much easier. Starscream left the mission of transporting the individually-snared Jointrons to BB, Dirge, and Thrust, staying behind to monitor the Autorollers' fight with the remaining Maximals. BB and the other two Combatrons returned, admitting they all lost their catches. The Jointrons reunited, formed Tripledacus, and Starscream's men were forced to flee. {{storylink|Who Is the Leader!?}}

[[File:BlackBB.jpg|left|upright=1.3|thumb|Who framed Roger Rabbit... Roger?]]
Later on, the Autorollers uncovered an unknown device in the ancient ruins. Starscream evaluated the device and determined it was a [[Copy Machine]]. At Galvatron's command, Starscream tested the device on BB, creating a [[Copy BB]]. The clone proved to be inherently opposite of the original, prompting an idea by Galvatron to deposit the Copy Machine where the Maximals could find it. Sure enough, Tasmania Kid soon used the device to create [[Black Lio Convoy|Copy Convoy]], an evil copy of Lio Convoy who broke free on his own. Starscream and BB found Copy Convoy running through the forest, and Starscream found the evil Convoy respectably diabolical and a little bit snuggly. When Copy Convoy fired on Starscream and BB they left, but Starscream privately told BB the Copy did that because the Maximals were watching, and respected his deviousness. {{storylink|The Black Lio Convoy}}

When Artemis and Moon compared the strength of the Maximals and Predacons, Starscream defended BB when his partner was compared to Bighorn, stating BB's firepower and strength were far greater than mere strength alone. {{storylink|Who Is the Strongest Warrior!?}}

Starscream's efforts to undermine Megastorm finally provoked a reaction. When Galvatron needed a recon team to determine the threat posed by the [[Seacon (BW)|Space Pirate Seacons]], Starscream naturally volunteered himself and BB. Megastorm shot down Starscream's request, however, and gave the assignment to Dirge and Thrust instead. Galvatron still allowed Starscream and BB to carry out the next Seacon mission, over Megastorm's objections. {{storylink|The Tentacular Scuba}} BB was present during Starscream's comments towards Megastorm's math after the latter made contact with the Seacons. {{storylink|Megastorm's Reckoning}} BB was seen on board the bridge of the ''Galvaburg II'' when Galvatron manipulated [[Halfshell]] and the Seacons into attacking the Maximals without payment by wounding his ego. {{storylink|Showdown in the Sea}}

After performing a scan on the Seacons' [[Photon sailer]], Starscream determined they were in need of some particular parts for repairs. With Galvatron's approval, he approached the Seacons for another negotiation to eliminate the Maximals. Unlike Megastorm, Starscream retained the upper hand during the negotiations with [[Halfshell]], and managed to draft a fair deal with the Seacon captain. Starscream and BB later joined the Seacons in battle with the Maximals and Tripledacus, but were driven off. {{storylink|Face the Setting Sun}}

While eavesdropping on the Seacons, Starscream and BB learned of a duel between Lio Convoy and Halfshell. He proposed to Galvatron that the Predacons secretly observe the fight, hoping Lio Convoy lost and being ready to strike down the surely weakened Maximal commander even if he won. Unfortunately for Starscream's plan, Megastorm insisted on coming along and jumped the gun by firing off his Mega-Cannon. Not only did he fail to kill Lio Convoy with his sneak attack, he set off a deposit of Angolmois Energy and ended the bout prematurely. {{storylink|The Final Battle (BWII)|The Final Battle}}

As Galvatron's artificial planet [[Nemesis (BW)|Nemesis]] approached Gaia, its influence began to corrupt the Angolmois Energy on the planet, making it volatile. Starscream and BB were present to observe Galvatron enter a geyser of Angolmois Energy and seemingly get consumed by the eruption. They looked on knowingly as Megastorm cheered his brother's apparent demise and showed disappointment when Galvatron emerged more powerful than ever. {{storylink|Enter Lio Junior}}

BB aided Starscream in numerous plots to overthrow [[Galvatron (BW)|Galvatron]] and take leadership of the Predacons, even going so far as to dunk [[Megastorm]] into a pit of [[Angolmois Energy]] (this, however, only upgraded Megastorm into [[Megastorm|Gigastorm]]). {{storylink|Megastorm Reborn}} {{storylink|The New Weapon, Tako Tank}} {{storylink|Gigastorm's Treachery}}

[[File:MaxBHellscream.jpg|left|thumb|220px|Max Goof]]
They continued this for quite some time until, eventually, Gigastorm had enough. While battling the Maximals, Starscream and BB fell into a trap Gigastorm had set for the Maximals (an area riddled with bombs). Gigastorm held off at first, but after the Predacons were defeated, Starscream began to beg for mercy and even offered to switch sides. This disgusted Gigastorm, who then activated the explosives. The explosion dropped Starscream and BB into a pit of Angolmois Energy which upgraded them into Hellscream (a flying cybernetic shark) and Max-B (a flying cybernetic dog). {{storylink|The End of Starscream}}

[[File:MaxBMovie1.jpg|thumb|Mighty Max!]]
When a mysterious teleport gate crashed on Gaia, Galvatron sent the Cyborg Beasts out to secure the site. Max-B and his comrades attacked Tasmania Kid and the Magnaboss team to gain control of the gate and its command key. Although they secured the gate itself and seriously injured Kid, Lio Junior escaped with the key. Galvatron later tricked Lio Junior into turning over the key to him, taking the cub prisoner as well. After the Predacons unleashed the power of [[Majin Zarak]], Max-B and the Autorollers confronted the Maximals on the ground while Majin Zarak's firepower prevented any aerial attacks. The Predacon troops were all eventually routed by the Maximals, though. {{storylink|Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!}}

As the artificial planet Nemesis zeroed in on Gaia, the Maximals stepped up their counter-attacks, and the Predacon response increased as well. Hellscream and Max-B were sent to stop the Maximals from freezing the volatile corrupted Angolmois Energy drawn out by Nemesis's presence. They encounter Tripledacus trying to stop the flow of Angolmois Energy with one massive iceberg. Max Roger! {{storylink|The Great Angolmois Freezing Tactic}} Later, they targeted a giant artillery cannon the Maximals intended to use to obliterate Nemesis before it reached Gaia. Hellscream was suspicious by how obvious the Maximals were in transporting the cannon, and had Max-B scan the area. Max-B's optic emitter located Scuba and the Tako Tank transporting a ''second'' cannon. Locate! Locate! Unfortunately for the Predacons, that cannon was also a decoy. {{storylink|Knock Out Nemesis}}

Lio Junior increased his attacks on Autoroller fortress operations, forcing Hellscream and Max-B to step up when Dirgegun and Thrustor once again proved inadequate. When Galvatron emerged on the battlefield to run a con on Lio Junior, however, Hellscream and Max-B wisely stepped back and allowed their Emperor to carry on his scheme. {{storylink|Lio Junior's Revolt!?}}

Hellscream's "peeping head" uncovered news of a robot from Mars found by the Maximals which could allegedly retake control of the Angolmois Energy. Galvatron ordered him and Max-B to prevent the Maximals from doing so, but Lio Junior and the combined Magnaboss held off Hellscream and Max-B so that Lio Convoy and the emissary robot could continue. {{storylink|Emissary of the Fourth Planet}} Once it was clear the emissary robot intended to "control" the Angolmois Energy by destroying the planet, Galvatron ordered his Cyborg Beasts to withdraw so the Maximals could deal with the situation for them uncontested. Max Clever! {{storylink|The Crisis of Planet Gaia}}

Hellscream and Max-B discovered a Maximal missile catapult, which the heroes planned to use to launch into space and confront the Nemesis. The Cyborg Beasts damaged the catapult, but failed to prevent the Maximals from leaving Gaia. {{storylink|Fly Out! Planet Gaia}} Max-B and the Predacons followed the Maximals out into space aboard the ''Galvaburg II''. {{storylink|Revenge of the Space Pirates}}

On Nemesis, the Predacons shot down the Maximal ship and boarded the wreckage, only to find the Maximals weren't present. Empty! Empty! They barely escaped the pre-rigged self-destruct mechanism. Max-B and the Cyborg Beasts confronted the Maximals as Lio Convoy tried to shut down Nemesis at its Angolmois Energy core. {{storylink|Breaking into Nemesis}} When Galvatron emerged from the core, he told the assembled Maximals and Predacons that Lio Convoy and Lio Junior had been consumed by the Angolmois Energy he unleashed. Max-B and the Predacons cheered the death of Lio Convoy, but Galvatron bid them to be silent, mourning the loss of a valiant foe. {{storylink|Legend! The Green Warrior}} To everyone's surprise, Lio Convoy and Lio Junior emerged as the legendary Green Lion, powerful enough to drain all of Gigastorm's Angolmois Energy from him. When Galvatron left to reignite the sabotaged core, Max-B and the Beasts continued the fight against the remaining Maximals, despite the threat of Nemesis exploding at any moment. They eventually wised up, and the Cyborg Beasts got together and lugged the lumbering Gigastorm off of Nemesis before it exploded. Max Roger! {{storylink|Farewell! Lio Convoy}}

====The Maximal Brainwashing Operation====
BB captured Tasmania Kid and Diver while the two Maximals were out on patrol. He then brought the pair to Starscream, who brainwashed his captives into Predacons! BB then accompanied Starscream to oversee the altered 'bots ambush their former allies. After the initial sneak attack, the rest of the Predacons joined in on the assault against the Maximals. But while the attack was underway, Dirge and Thrust turned up fighting on the Maximals' side! Annoyed that Lio Convoy had "stolen his idea" to brainwash combatants, Starscream ordered BB to shoot the two jets out of the sky. As BB charged into the battlefield, the area was rocked by a powerful blast, courtesy of Megastorm. The Predacons were badly damaged by the explosion. BB hauled the unconscious Dirge and Thrust back to the Predacons' base when Galvatron called for a retreat. {{storylink|The Maximal Brainwashing Operation}}

===''Beast Wars II'' comic===
BB joined [[Galvatron (BW)|Galvatron]] and his [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] on [[Gaia]] in their quest for [[Angolmois Energy]]. After Galvatron absorbed some Angolmois Energy and fell into a deep sleep, Megastorm hooked up the Predacon leader to the machinery of the [[Galvatron Dekazura Tank]] to power it, and enlisted BB and his other fellow Predacons into piloting the vehicle against the Maximals. Their enemies soon came rushing towards them in a counter-offensive, and BB and Starscream manned the tank's turrets to blast them. Though they managed to shoot down Lio Convoy as he and Bigmos approached them from the air, they weren't as successful in stopping Tasmania Kid, who hoped over BB's head in scurried into the juggernaut. A secondary offensive from the Maximals led to the tank sinking into a nearby river, and finally Lio Convoy managed to battle Megastorm within it, resulting in the tank's self-destruct mechanism being activated. The Predacons were all blown away in the resulting explosion. {{storylink|Demolish the Superdreadnought Tank!}}

Max-B, a [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] follower, was present at [[Scourge (BW)|Scourge]]'s interrogation of the captured Tripredacus Agent [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]]. He was initially disguised as the Maximal [[K-9]]. {{storylink|Intimidation Game}}

BB was traumatized in a Maximal Prison "re-education center" before the [[Pax Cybertronia]], and due to the psychological damage, retreated into himself and says only "Roger". He befriended Starscream at this time and his loyalty to the smaller robot was cemented when Starscream took BB with him during his escape from the facility. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #1}} To boost the power of his troops, [[Megastorm|Gigastorm]] exposed them to [[Angolmois Energy]], and BB was transformed into Max-B. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #2}}

Max-B later become a [[Herald of Unicron|servant of Unicron]] and therefore a [[Herald of Shokaract]]. When [[Shokaract]], the vessel for [[Unicron]]'s return, engaged the Maximal field commander [[Big Convoy]], Max-B and the other Heralds arrived on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with Angolmois Capsules from the furthest reaches of the galaxy. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 3|The Ascending #3}} They proceeded to distribute the Angolmois amongst Cybertron's population, causing a frenzy of violence of mayhem. The Heralds fled when Shokaract disappeared and they were defeated by [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] with a well-thrown grenade. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4|The Ascending #4}}

In the [[Legends World]], BB was a worker at Starscream's "little brother cafe" in [[Akihabara]]. {{storylink|Windblade Sequel}} When Starscream was chewing out a new employee, [[Starscream (Armada)|another Starscream]], BB stood next to him saying "roger". {{storylink|LG-18 Armada Starscream Super Mode Prologue}}

{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''Beast Wars II'' products in the [[Japan]]ese ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1998 (Beast Wars II)|Beast Wars]]'' toyline, and packaged in an Ultra-sized set with his partner [[Starscream (BW)#Toys|Starscream]], BB is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Dreadwing (G2)#Toys|Dreadwing]], transforming into a {{w|Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit}} stealth bomber, with an under-slung, six-missile "BB Launcher". He can also form a more complete aircraft, the "[[Formation Scream]]", by plugging jet-mode Starscream into the open bay in BB' back end.

: He also has a third "tank" mode which is partially activated by removing Starscream from their combined jet mode, which flips up his wings, then completed by opening up his legs to reveal treads and swinging the BB Launcher around to the top of the vehicle mode.

: Twisting the back of the BB Launcher activates the "Gatling Launcher" attack, firing the six loaded "Bomber Missiles" one after the other. The Launcher has been slightly [[retool]]ed on the inside to actually hold the missiles in place when loaded (the original kinda let them slide out), and the missiles are actually slightly shorter than the original versions as well to accommodate (making them incompatible with the ''Generation 2'' version of the launcher). Each wing also holds three Bomber Missiles, which can be dropped by pressing small buttons on the tops of the wings. In robot mode, BB's BB Launcher winds up on his shoulder and functions the same way; the launcher's mounting arm has been [[retool]]ed to hold it in place in this mode. Despite the difference in name between Starscream and BB's missiles, they are all the exact same and can be fired or dropped from any of the designated launchers.

: BB's deco is based on—but not identical to!—the unreleased [[Megatron (G1)/toys#ATB|ATB Megatron]] & [[Starscream (G1)/toys#ATB|Starscream]] iteration of the mold. Importantly, BB uses silver plastic instead of Megatron's light gray, has much brighter yellow missiles, adds silver chrome to the front edges of his wings. And of course he has different stickers; an unfortunate case of bad [[Japanese language|transliteration]] results in the stickers on BB's arms calling referring to Starscream as "Starscrem".

: [[Sonokong]] also released this figure in their ''Beast-War'' toyline as '''BB'''. Aside from the difference in packaging, the [[South Korea|Korea]]n release of the figure is identical to the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] releases. In place of the bio cards of the Takara releases, BB comes with two "{{w|Rock paper scissors|Jan-ken-pon}}" cards.

{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: Part of the tenth wave of ''Beast Wars II'' products in the Japanese ''Beast Wars'' toyline, Max-B is a heavily [[retool]]ed version of the American ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Deluxe Class [[K-9#Toys|K-9]] toy (itself an extensive retool of [[Wolfang (Maximal)#Toys|Wolfang]]), transforming into a cyborg dog.

: In [[beast mode]], his back contains a spring-loaded missile launcher and spring-activated grabber claw—both of which are activated simultaneously by the same trigger to perform his "Slap Shot" attack. In [[robot mode]], this entire assembly becomes his "Back Slap" shield. His tail also detaches to become a hand-held containing a spring-loaded "Tail Gun". Alternatively, there is another handle located closer to the barrel end of the weapon, allowing for it to be used as his "Tail Hammer" flail weapon.

: Max-B's anchor-missiles store in grooves on his back, giving him a pair of spikes in his abdomen in either mode.

: The original incarnation of this mold was also used to make the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Wolfang (Predacon)#Toys|Wolfang]].

==Notes==
[[File:BW Sourcebook BB single vs trade.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I did this all just for you, Starscream.]]
* "BB" was originally a tentative name, short for "Black Bomber".<ref>[https://twitter.com/TFYUKI/status/271094613106888704 TF YUKI tweet]</ref> According to a humorous comic strip from ''[[Comic BomBom]]'', BB's name actually stands for "'''B'''om '''B'''om" because he is a regular reader of ''Comic BomBom''.
* Much like the rest of the new cast introduced from "[[Enter Lio Junior]]" onwards, Max-B received a completely original [[character model]] by [[Takashi Yamamoto]] for "[[Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!]]", whereas his cartoon character model was designed by one of three other model artists. In Max-B's case, he notably features his "Backslap" shield attached to his back in [[robot mode]].
* BB is (strangely) a golden orange color in his ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook]]'' profile entry. The profile's author [[Ben Yee]] has gone on the record that this is in fact an error of the colorist.<ref>[http://www.bwtf.com/comicbooks/idw/bwsourcebook1/ BWTF Review/Commentary on Beast Wars Sourcebook 1]</ref> It was corrected in the trade paperback.
* As mentioned at the very top of this article, BB's speech quirk is his repetitive use of the word "Roger". When he got reformatted into Max-B this quirk was changed to "Max-Roger".

{{disambig3|Strika}}
:''Strika is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Animated continuity family]].''
[[Image:Strikaanimated.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The kind you bring home to Mama.]]

'''Strika''' is [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s personally chosen "General of Destruction", and for good reason. She lives for war, for the glory of war. She is the ideal mix of brains and brawn, as her immense strength and brilliant military tactical mind make her a worthy adversary and a dangerous foe to the Autobots. To add to her power, her multi-wheeled heavily armored battle tank mode is equipped with weaponry that produce an enormous amount of fire power. On top of all this, she brought many victories to the Decepticons during the [[great War (Animated)|Great War]] on Cybertron.

She is also [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]]'s "consort", whatever that means.

[[Image:TeamChaar.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Strika pose!]]

As the leader of [[Team Chaar]], Strika and her team attempted to capture [[space bridge 687-030]]. After disabling [[Hot Shot (Animated)|Hot Shot]], and being damaged by [[Rodimus Prime (Animated)|Rodimus Prime]], she was back on her feet in time to criticize [[Blackout (Animated)|Blackout]] for disabling the Space Bridge and had him reactivate it. After ordering [[Cyclonus (Animated)|Cyclonus]] and [[Oil Slick (Animated)|Oil Slick]] to help free [[Spittor (Animated)|Spittor]] and secure the area, she jumped to the Space Bridge controls and contacted [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]], asking him for the coordinates for Cybertron. He refused and then told her the he was under strict orders from [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] to wait for his arrival. Strika, incensed, responded that Megatron was supposed to be there Mega-Cycles ago!

Still guarding the Space Bridge, Strika and her team prepared to face off against the [[Elite Guard|Cybertron Elite Guard]], something she was looking forward to. However, before they could, Megatron insisted on a full Decepticon retreat. Strika refused at first, only giving in when faced with the consequences of disobeying Megatron's orders. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

Later, Strika was apparently part of a Decepticon attack force which descended upon Detroit as the planet Cybertron was brought into Earth orbit. This was eventually revealed to be a virtual reality ruse on [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]]'s part, but it is uncertain how Soundwave came to the decision to integrate a simulation of her into the program, as he had never physically encountered her. {{storylink|Human Error, Part I}}

''After the Autobots defeated and captured Megatron, Strika orchestrated a daring rescue plan requiring [[Team Stunticon]] to masquerade as Autobots in a stadium show next to [[Trypticon Prison]]; the plan would have allowed them to both rescue their captive leader and bomb all the Autobots in the bleachers into oblivion. However, this plan was foiled by the cunning detective work of [[Sideswipe (Animated)|Sideswipe]] and [[Cheetor (Animated)|Cheetor]]. The Stunticons soon wound up sharing prison space with Megatron, and Sideswipe retired to a life of ease on an energon farm—where he was found and attacked by a revengecrazed Strika and Team Chaar!'' {{storylink|The Stunti-Con Job}}

==Notes==
[[File:Tfanimated strika altform.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
* [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] said this about Strika: "another personal Transformers life goal for yours truly".
* Strika is male in the Latin American Spanish dub of the show due to the third season being dubbed in Colombia rather than Chile as the other seasons were. Unfortunately, she is far from being the only fembot to suffer [[Flareup (Animated)|the same fate]]. Heck, [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] and [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]] were dubbed by a woman.
* Strika is also dubbed by [[Frédéric Popovic|a man]] in the French version of the show, and speaks with a German accent.
* Her primary weapons are her Reciprocating Blasters, and she has somehow obtained a small amount of [[forestonite]].
* Despite being described as [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]]'s "consort", the two have never been seen interacting in any media together to date, the relationship only being mentioned in ''The Allspark Almanac''.
* According to Lugnut, she is not fond of [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]] or [[Swindle (Animated)|Swindle]], due to them not being fully committed to the Decepticon cause.
*An almost-realized [[BotCon]] [[exclusive]] from [[Fun Publications]] was a redeco of [[Bulkhead (Animated)#Voyager Class|Voyager Class Bulkhead]] into Strika.<ref>[http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc14/bc14br.html BotCon 2014 attendee report]</ref>
*In his panel at [[unofficial conventions|TFNation 2019]], [[Marty Isenberg]] admitted that the inclusion of an ''Animated'' version of [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] in the outline for the unproduced episode "[[Trial of Megatron, Part 1]]" might have been a simple slip-up on his part, one that would have been corrected in the final cut by having Strika featured in Obsidian's place.
