'''Costco Wholesale Corporation''' is a membership-only retail warehouse club based in the United States, specializing in bulk sales and large items.

Over the years, Costco has carried a few [[exclusive]] ''Transformers'' [[toy]]s, in addition to the regular mass retail releases. Their exclusives are usually of the "large multi-pack of unchanged toys" variety, but occasionally they have gotten truly unique items. Not so much anymore though. Either way, these items are typically sold at prices '''''way''''' below normal retail prices at other outlets.

==Costco exclusive toys==
===Energon===
[[File:Energon Costco OptimusPrimeOverload.jpg|upright=1.33|thumb|Overload & Optimus]]
Costco's first exclusive, for the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series, was... a lot. Both in terms of sheer mass and deco tone. This set is easily Costco's most distinctive exclusive, as from here on out, it's pretty much all just minor changes or straight re-packs.

===Cybertron===
[[File:Cybertrontoy ridprime magnus 2pack.jpg|upright=1.33|thumb|Very slightly different from other versions]]
The ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' Magnus/Optimus multi-pack is a weird one. The Ultra Magnus is a straight re-packaging of the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' redeco of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (RID)#Universe (2003)|Magnus]] offered by Sam's Club a few years prior, while the accompanying Optimus Prime is a redeco of that Sam's Club set's [[Optimus Prime (RID)#Universe (2003)|Optimus]], but with the yellow turned ''back'' to red, making it look a lot like the original toy, but it kept the Sam's paint colors, making it ''just'' a bit different.

The Optimus/Wing Saber set, meanwhile, is a straight repackaging of normal retail releases, just with a bonus DVD.

Rubsign

2023-01-27T14:35:54Z

Engledogg:

[[File:Rubsign.gif|304px|thumb|Wax on, wax off.]]
A '''rubsign''' is a small pre-applied heat-sensitive sticker. Rubbing the sticker reveals a hidden symbol.

==Operating principles==
[[File:Rubsign inactive.png|left|37px]]
Demons make the color change. Anybody who tells you otherwise is a witch, and should be burned, burned at the stake. Death to the evildoers! ''Ahem.'' The working part of a rubsign is a layer of Mylar plastic which contains thermochromic liquid crystals. At different temperatures, the liquid crystals' molecular structure changes reflecting different wavelengths of light and making a visible [[Insignia|faction symbol]] appear. {{w|Mood ring}}s work by the same principle but have more bogus magical properties.

==Toys==
===''The Transformers''===
[[File:G1-toy Mini-spy buggy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|It's like a Kinder egg toy, but without the Kinder. Or the egg.]]
[[File:G1toy frenzy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1||[[FIRRIB|Frenzy is the one with the rubsign.]]]]
The first toys to sport rubsigns were the [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] from the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original toy line]] in early 1985, miniature Transformers that came with repackages of the 1984 [[Mini Vehicle|Mini-Car]] toys. The faction of a Mini-spy remained hidden until someone opened up the package and rubbed the rubsign revealing an Autobot or Decepticon [[insignia]]... or if it got warm enough to activate the sticker while the toy was still sealed away.

Later that year, '''''all''''' ''Transformers'' toys featured a rubsign that revealed an Autobot or Decepticon insignia. The purpose of these rubsigns was (in theory) to help consumers distinguish genuine [[toy|Transformers toys]] from the many [[knockoff]]s their success inspired (off-brand versions of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and [[Mini-Cassette#Toys|his cassettes]] were particularly common in 84/85), as well as [[Tonka]]'s ''[[GoBots]]'' toys and similar toys of other competitors. Re-releases of 1984 toys sometimes had rubsigns slapped on in odd places in addition to their standard customer-applied insignia [[sticker]]s, but some, like the aforementioned Mini Cars, had their factory-applied insignia replaced with rubsigns.

<center>
[[File:Fastlane.png|70px]]      
[[File:Cloudraker.png|70px]]      
[[File:Pounce.png|70px]]      
[[File:Wingspan.png|70px]]      
</center>

The [[Clone (subgroup)|Clones]] from 1987's series had special rubsigns that revealed their personal insignia. The rubsign could be activated so their true identity could be revealed without having to transform them (or, you know, [[Kibble|rotate them slightly]]).

By [[1988]], rubsigns were dropped from the line (presumably as most of the competition had been long-buried, but cost-saving may also have played into it), even though several toys from that year still had molded spots for them. Later releases/reissues of various toys designed with rubsign indents were [[retool]]ed to remove or otherwise alter those indents.
{{--}}

===''Beast Wars''===
[[File:BW Razorclaw toy.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb]]
Rubsigns would not appear again on ''Transformers'' toys until the second year of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' product in 1997, called "hidden energon chips". These decals lacked the silver border of the prior rubsigns, being solid black when cool. When warmed, the ''background'' changes color into rainbow hues, revealing a solid-black [[Maximal]] or [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] insignia.

"Energon chips" continued to be used through the following year's [[Fuzor]]s and [[Transmetal]]s toys, but were replaced by the time of the [[Transmetal 2]]s (and in the ''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (franchise)|Beast Wars Neo]]'' new-mold toys) with "[[spark crystal]]s".

{{-}}

===''Classics''===
[[File:Classics Cliffjumper toy.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|]]
Rubsigns were reintroduced to the ''Transformers'' line in [[2006]] with the ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' series, appearing on all toys at the Deluxe and higher price-point. They are effectively the same as the originals, having silver borders and rainbow-hued symbols.

{{-}}

===''Reveal the Shield''===
[[File:TF2010toy-Strafe.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb]]
Rubsigns were used as the main [[gimmick]] of the ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]] of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toy line]]. These versions are not square, but borderless black decals cut into a rough silhouette of the Autobot symbol, though the Decepticon insignia fit snugly in there as well.

The toy packaging directed people to "Press to reveal Autobot or Decepticon allegiance." However, the back of the packaging ''also'' featured a large faction symbol for the character, spoiling the "mystery" of the character's allegiance.

{{-}}

===Reissue toys===
[[File:G1-toy RicochetCommSeries.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb]]
Many/most of the reissued "Generation 1" toys released over the years also have rubsigns, though often their positioning has changed from the originals. At some point, the older style of rubsign was replaced with a new version, featuring a near-mirror-like silver border, and solid-red insignia regardless of faction. These are most notable on the various [[Walmart]]-exclusive reissues from the latter half of the 2010's, but have appeared on other recent re-releases.

{{-}}

===''Generations Selects''===
[[File:Selects-Leader-ToyGalvatron.jpeg|upright=1.4|thumb]]
''[[Generations Selects (toyline)#Hasbro|Generations Selects]]'' [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Selects|Galvatron]] features an optional [[sticker]] sheet as a throwback to the original "Generation 1" stickers, including a Decepticon rubsign intended to be placed on the right side of the cannon. A black bar has been added beneath the faction border's "chin" to make it less pentagonal.

==Fiction==
===''Battle Beneath the ice''===
[[File:BBTI-RunaboutandRodimus.jpg|thumb]]
Having ''EXTREMELY'' toy-accurate artwork, many of the Transformers sported rubsigns. {{storylink|Battle Beneath the Ice}}

===''Transformers Comic-Magazin''===
[[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]], [[Darkwing (G1)|Darkwing]] and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] were hiding in an airbase in Nevada before revealing their liquid crystal Decepticon insignias and flying off. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 6#Transformers in the Battle for Peace: A Big Day for Powermaster Optimus Prime|A Big Day for Powermaster Optimus Prime}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:Rubsign Smokescreen.JPG|thumb]]
[[Dreamwave Productions]], famous for their re-launching Transformers comics and generally featured a few [[posters]] of Transformers featuring rubsigns.

Rubsigns were used as a way of disguising [[Autobot]] [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]]'s faction symbol which had been outlawed. {{storylink|War and Peace}}

===2005 IDW continuity===

The bounty hunter [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] appears to sport a rubsign probably to indicate that he's just in it for the parts and hunts he gets out of it. {{storylink|The Thrill of the Hunt}}

After being 'dishonorably discharged' and sent to [[Stockade (Animated)|the Stockade]], [[Wasp]] has been seen wearing a rubsign probably to indicate he's not with the Autobots anymore. When he was reformatted into Waspinator, he completely changed sides and instead sported a Decepticon insignia. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Animated)|Predacons Rising}}
{{-}}

==Commercial Appearances==
===Generation 1===
[[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] let a yellow Mini-spy into the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. They then got suspicious and rubbed his rubsign, revealing him to be a Decepticon. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1}}

==Notes==
*The original patent for the [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] rubsigns is shared by [[Henry Orenstein]] and [[George Dunsay]]. The patent term expired a few years ago.
*A variation on the rubsigns was also used in the spin-off [[Hasbro]]/[[TakaraTomy|Takara]] toyline ''[[Beastformers|Battle Beasts]]''. Of special note is that late in the line, those rubsigns changed to have full-color illustrations revealed, rather than the "rainbow" effect of prior rubsigns.

Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys

2020-03-26T03:22:17Z

Engledogg:

{{suite}}
[[File:OptimusPrimeUT-Armada.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Hiyaaah...]]
Like [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|other Optimuses]], [[Unicron Trilogy]] '''[[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]''' has a lot of toys.

==Toys==
===Armada===
{{anchor|SuperBase}}
[[File:Superbase ArmadaPrime.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Stand up and be counted, container!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Super Base, 2002/2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/base/armor, light-up rifle, missile, left & right smokestacks

: The first [[Unicron Trilogy]] Optimus Prime toy transforms into a longnose truck cab of made-up model. His clear-plastic smokestacks can detach and form a double-barrelled pistol that he can hold in [[robot mode]], and a button on top of his head causes his [[mouthplate]] to jiggle up and down as if he were talking (the irony being that while this was a familiar trait of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|G1 cartoon Optimus Prime]], in the ''Armada'' animated series, this Prime's mouthplate remained static when he talked). He can also hold a large cannon that is stored within his [[trailer]], and his chest flips down to reveal a (non-removable) [[Matrix of Leadership/toys|Matrix of Leadership]]. He is packaged with his Mini-Con partner [[Sparkplug (Armada)#Toys|Sparkplug]].

:The toy's primary gimmick is its auto-transforming trailer, which assumes one of three configurations when triggered by an infra-red signal transmitted from the cab robot. Transforming the cab into robot mode will cause the trailer to automatically flip open into a battle station for Mini-Cons, which Prime can stand in the centre of. The base features a central tower with a pop-out artillery emplacement and a mount for Prime's large cannon; a rotating missile-firing turret; two Mini-Con storage bays, one of which featured a manually-activated tab to launch Mini-Cons out; and two live Mini-Con hardpoints, one of which pops up a non-firing turret, the other activating a laser noise.

:Prime's cab and trailer can also combine to form a super robot mode. Transforming the cab into the torso portion sends the transformation command to the trailer, which raises itself up off the ground to become a pair of immobile, statuesque legs (as long as you're not playing with it on carpet), and when the pair are connected, the super-robot head pops up with a metallic shriek sound effect. Pressing the Autobot symbol on the figure's chest activates a pulsing laser sound effect, and the small grey button on his right shoulder illuminates his fist with a red LED, which can illuminate either of his guns, as well as the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] sword (the Star Saber was specifically cast in clear plastic for this purpose, but in practice, the light failed to carry even halfway up the blade).[[File:Armada JetOptimusMegaweapon toy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Gunjob Spacepants!]] Prime's firing missile and Mini-Con activated gimmicks remain accessible in this mode, but look a bit doofy if you deploy them. The initial [[Hasbro]] release of Prime had tabs in its Super Mode shoulders that prevented them from rotating above the horizontal default position, so as not to break the wires that run through the toy's right arm. Coupled with the limited elbow joints, this left Optimus Prime able only to point his weapons towards the ground, and the tabs were removed on subsequent editions of the figure.

:Instead of his trailer, Prime can alternately combine with ''Armada'' [[Jetfire (Armada)#Toys|Jetfire]], who forms a pair of legs, as "'''Jet Prime'''" ('''Jet Optimus''' on the cartoon, or "'''Jet Convoy'''" if you own the Japanese version). In addition to this, ''Armada'' [[Overload (Armada)#Toys|Overload]] can form a pair of massive cannons that attach to either Prime's base mode, or mount over the shoulders of his super robot torso (with either his trailer or Jetfire as legs), forming '''Optimus Prime Megaweapon''' (or '''Magna Convoy''').

:[[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s release of Optimus Prime the following year made a few changes, noticeably replacing the gold paint and plastic of the Hasbro toy with bright yellow and much brighter gold. The deco has been tweaked to be a bit closer to the original prototype glimpsed in early catalogs, with yellow added back to cab Prime's feet and the cab grill painted silver, and the Super Mode's waist getting much more paint. This version of the figure was never burdened with the mobility-inhibiting shoulder tabs. Completing the Super Mode combination triggered a new clip of Prime shouting "Convoy, Super Mode!" in Japanese instead of generic mechanical sounds. Late in the run, [[JUSCO]] stores offered this toy with blind-packed "Space Galaxy" versions of the individual [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]] members, one toy per box.

{{-}}{{anchor|Super-Con}}
[[File:Supercon ArmadaPrime.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Fans typically refer to this mold as "Bendy Prime", but it's really more of a shimmy-shimmy Prime. Mini-Con-activated shimmy-shimmy.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Super-Con, 2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MC-06'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right smokestacks
:This deluxe-size, highly-poseable version of ''Armada'' Optimus Prime is an entirely new mold, retaining the ability to tow Super Base Prime's trailer, though he cannot combine with it. He comes with the Mini-Con [[Over-Run (Armada)#Toys|Over-Run]], who can transform into a gun for him, or can peg onto the [[Powerlinx]] plug on Optimus's back to activate a double-fisted "punching" action (that looks more like hyperactive shrugging). Like the Super Base figure, Prime has a flip down chestplate, but lacks a molded-in Matrix, and his smokestacks can be removed (and in many cases will simply fall off), but cannot peg together as a gun. Shipping in a great many waves throughout most of the later run of the line, Super-Con Optimus became a notorious [[shelfwarmer|pegwarmer]].

:The figure features a minor design flaw. The forearm parts, which shift up to reveal the robot mode fists, do not lock down after being transformed, and are easily prone to falling back down due to a complete lack of tension to hold them in place.

:The initial release of the figure featured silver lights on his roof; later on, the lights were changed to yellow, and later still, an Autobot emblem was added to the hood of the vehicle. These changes were not made on the Japanese release of the figure, which bore the unfortunate appellation of "STD", meaning "standard".

: This mold was redecoed for inclusion in the ''Cybertron'' and ''Universe'' lines (see below), as well as to create the new characters of ''Armada'' [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)#Toys|Ultra Magnus]].

*'''Kinpika Convoy''' (Super Base Lucky Draw figure, August 2003)
**''Accessories:'' Prime Mini-Con, trailer/armor, light-up rifle, missile, left & right smokestacks
:This Japanese-exclusive [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] golden redeco of Super Base Optimus Prime, whose name means "Shining Golden", was available as a prize in several draws, including a colouring contest held in the pages of ''[[TV Boy]]'' magazine, and in-store lottery draws at Tobu Department Stores. Between the draws, at least 58 "Kinpika" Prime toys are known to have been given away, making it one of the more widely available [[Lucky Draw figure]]s, comparatively speaking. It came packaged in a plain white box, and including all the accessories and features of the standard release of the figure, including a gold-chromed Sparkplug (or "Prime", as he's confusingly known in Japan).

*'''Powerlinx Optimus Prime''' (Super Base, 2003)
**''Accessories:'' Corona Sparkplug Mini-Con, trailer/armor, light-up rifle, missile, left & right smokestacks

: A late-run extensive redeco of the Super Base ''Armada'' Optimus Prime toy, "Powerlinx" Optimus Prime sports the darker color scheme the character takes on in the [[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|''Armada'' cartoon]] episode "[[Origin]]" following a Mini-Con power-up, but he is not precisely [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]]—the deco would later be fine-tuned with more accurate details for release in Japan as the Magna Convoy DX giftset ([[#MagnaConvoyDX|see below]]). In addition to now sporting fully-mobile Super Mode arms without the movement-impeding tabs, Prime still comes with all his features and accessories, though for this release, his Mini-Con partner Sparkplug got retooled with a new rear chassis and a blinged-out golden chrome body as "Corona Sparkplug".

**''Accessories:'' Surge Mini-Con, left and right smokestacks

: A Japanese ''[[TV Magazine]]'' [[exclusive]], this release of the Super-Con class Prime toy has almost all of his parts cast in translucent coloured plastics—hence the 'crystal' moniker—representing the character's disembodied [[spark]] after his destruction in the ''Armada'' cartoon episode "[[Crisis (Armada)|Crisis]]" and resurrection in "[[Miracle]]". What that means for poor Over-Run (or "Surge" in Japan), also cast in translucent plastic, we couldn't say! Available via mail-order, only 5000 pieces were distributed in October of 2003.

Optimus Prime's red plastics and paint were replaced with gold, the only changes made to anyone in the set. It is this set from which the name of Optimus Prime's combined mode with Jetfire, '''Jet Prime''', comes.

: This set is a [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] Japan exclusive, consisting of Powerlinx Optimus Prime (dubbed "Convoy Final Battle Coloration" and redecoed with more show-accurate colours, principally a silver [[mouthplate]] instead of red and varying color saturation from the Hasbro version), a "crystal" version of [[Overload (Armada)#MagnaConvoy|Overload]] ("Ultra Magnus Special Clear Version") made out of transluscent plastics, and an exclusive [[X-Dimensions Micron|X-Dimension]] redeco of the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team#XDimension|Street Action Mini-Con Team]]. This set is entirely "new" content not available in the normal mass-retail ''Micron Legend'' line, and is also the last release of "X-Dimension" Mini-Cons. Rather than come with individual bio cards for the various characters, the set came with only a single card for Magna Convoy.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (McDonald's Happy Meal toy, 2002)
:An extremely simplified version of Optimus Prime, this [[McDonald's]] Happy Meal toy transforms into a trailer-less truck cab. He is formed out of a large percentage of translucent plastic, and can combine with the other Happy Meal Armada toys (Hot Shot, Red Alert, and Smokescreen) into a human (well, robot) pyramid-style configuration, notionally considered a "[[Mighty Robot]]".

*'''Optimus Prime''' (McDonald's Happy Meal toy, 2004-2006)
**''Accessories'': Energon Cube, "Mini-Con" remote
:The Happy Meal version of ''Energon'' Optimus Prime features a very similar transformation sequence to his larger figure, though his limited articulation means that his shoulder insignias aren't visible in robot mode when his arms are facing forward. His torso is hollow to contain his electronic "Energon Cube" accessory, which generates effects when activated by remote control. This remote is in the form of the Mini-Con jet [[Wreckage (Energon)|Wreckage]], and can mount on the top of his cab in truck form.

:Unreleased in the United States, Prime and his fellow Happy Meal toys initially appeared in (at least) the [[Netherlands]] in September 2004, before making their way to the [[United Kingdom]] in February 2005, to [[New Zealand]] in March, and to [[Australia]] in November.

:In 2006, the figure was also released in Brazil, albeit as a variant: this one was missing the Energon Cube and even had the plastic tab that holds the cube removed. In addition, the gray plastic is a slightly different shade, and the facial details are a lot crisper.<ref name="happymeal">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/851927-happy-meal-energon-optimus-prime-variant.html Comparison of both versions of the Happy Meal Energon Optimus Prime figure]</ref>

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2003)
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles
:''Armada'' ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' Optimus Prime transforms into a fair approximation of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], but the robot mode is quite inaccurate, due to the very broad, flat Trans-Skeleton with thin, stick-like limbs attached to it. The set came with a very simplistic "Mini-Con" Sparkplug partner kit that did have a more dedicated "Powerlinx" connector than the standard construction pegs, though these are a bit too thin to be used as attachment points for regular Mini-Cons (they stay, sort of, but it's a very loose connection). The 101-piece set also features pressure-launch missile-firing "smokestack" cannons.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Built to Rule!, 2005)
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles''

: The ''Energon'' version of ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' Optimus Prime was designed with a much more solid skeleton with larger, blockier limbs. He can be rebuilt from a Cybertronic truck cab with a trailer-mounted, pressure-launch dual-missile cannon (with electronic lights and sounds) to a robot, to basically whatever you feel like doing with the parts.

: Unfortunately, due to the slow performance of the ''Built to Rule!'' line overall, the ''Energon'' versions only had a limited, test-market release initially in and around Cincinnati, Ohio. The sets later filtered out into many Tuesday Morning and Ollie's chain stores at drastically dropped prices.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Super, 2003, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Fire-1, Copter-2, Digger-3, Submarine-4, trailer, rifle, missile

: Super class ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Optimus Prime transforms into a Cybertronic short-nosed truck cab. A switch on his back offers four selectable sound effects, each one corresponding to one member of the [[Prime Force]], the four drone vehicles contained within Prime's parallelogram-shaped trailer. A tiny, slightly recessed button above the switch activates the sounds. When Prime transforms to robot mode, the trailer stands upright to become a launch base of sorts for the Prime Force, with three of the trailer's four storage compartments featuring launching mechanisms that propel the vehicles into action. The Prime Force consists of Fire-1, a fire truck with an extending ladder and rotating turret; Copter-2, a helicopter with spinning rotors; Digger-3, a drill tank with a gear-wheel-activated spinning drill; and Submarine-4, a submarine with opening capture claws beneath its bow. The four interchangeable drones can combine with Prime to create his Super Mode; any drone is capable of forming any limb. When in Super Mode, Prime's chest panels are opened, in turn pressing a button on his side that creates more electronic sounds and lights up a red LED in his chest, representing the [[Spark of Combination]].

: Prime is armed with a spring-loaded missile launcher that stores on the rear of his truck mode (which becomes the backpack of his robot mode) when not in use. Like most of the weapons of the ''Energon'' line, it sports a [[5mm post]], allowing it to be held by most every ''Energon'' figure, to combine with assorted other weapons and [[Energon weapon]]s released in the series, and to peg into numerous compatible ports shared by many figures, like the hole in the radar of Prime's own trailer, or even conveniently placed 5mm screw holes like those of the Prime Force.
[[File:Energontoy prime combinations.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2]]
:In lieu of combining with the Prime Force, Optimus Prime can also merge with ''Energon'' [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]] in a similar fashion, with Wing Saber splitting into four components that connect to Prime as limbs. Wing Saber's red and white torso components can become arms for Prime while his legs attach to Prime's own, creating Prime's "Flight Mode", but the parts can also be swapped around, with Wing Saber's legs deploying large missile launchers and becoming arms to make Prime's "Fight Mode". Alternately, Prime can combine with ''Energon'' [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] to form what his packaging calls "Powerlinx Omega Supreme", but which the cartoon named "Optimus Supreme". The Prime Force drones can attach to four connectors on Optimus Supreme's body.

:The earliest releases of ''Energon'' Optimus Prime have no ridges on the inside of the chest windows and a different head sculpt featuring an [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]-style mouth-slit in Prime's mouthplate. This was soon replaced with a full mouthplate, and it was this version of the toy which appeared in the [[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|''Energon'' cartoon]] and was released by Takara. Other changes made to Takara's version of the toy involved a chromed front grill, more vibrant plastic colors on Digger-3 and Submarine-4, a darker blue plastic on Prime himself, and more intricate [[paint operation]]s. Takara's release lacks the electronic sound effects seen in Hasbro's version, which were commonly gutted for the Japanese releases of any Autobot toys who had them, though Prime retains his light-up chest.

:The mouth-plated version of this mold was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' "Year of the Snake" [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Platinum Edition|Optimus Prime]].

: As had first been done in the ''Armada'' line, Takara elected to supplement their release of the Super class Optimus Prime figure with a new-mold Deluxe class toy. Coming without trailer, Prime Force or electronics, this Prime discarded the larger toy's ability to form Super Mode in favor of being able to [[Powerlinx]] with the other compatible toys of the ''Energon'' line, forming either a torso or a pair of legs that the other Autobots could connect to. Like the Deluxe ''Armada'' Prime, this one too was on the small side for its size class, but just as that figure could, this small Prime can still tow the Super class figure's trailer.

: The SS-03 version of Takara's Deluxe-class Optimus figure, based on the Anniversary release, was released in Hasbro markets in a two pack with the smaller Japanese [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Energon|Megatron]] figure. There are some tiny but notable differences between this and the Anniversary figure; the Hasbro version uses a more neutral dark-gray for the main body as opposed to the Takara version's blue-tinted dark-gray, plain dark-blue plastic rather than dark-blue-with-sparkles, and plain yellow paint for the cab's lights rather than sparkly-yellow/gold.

: This set was a Toys"R"US exclusive in the US, but sold at pretty much any retailer that wanted to carry it elsewhere in the world.

[[File:Cybertrontoy leader optimus prime.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|"Well... a fire truck is bigger."]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2005)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/armor, rifle, three missiles, Matrix of Leadership, [[Cyber Key]]

: The first ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into a heavily-armed fire truck of made up origin, topped with two large cannons. The left fires a spring-loaded translucent blue missile, while the right features electronic sound effects and a flashing red LED. The cannons and the sides of the truck fold down to create an unlikely flight mode for the vehicle.

:In true Prime style, the forward portion of the vehicle mode detaches to become Prime himself, while the rear "trailer" transforms into a gun emplacement. In robot mode, the barrel of the truck's left cannon detaches to become a hand-held rifle for Prime, and the figure features an opening chest compartment concealing a removable Matrix of Leadership accessory. Prime's gigantic hands mean that he can't hold it especially ''neatly'', but he can certainly grip hold of it. Atypical of both most Unicron Trilogy figures and indeed, [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Primes]] in general, Prime's hands are ''not'' designed to accommodate weapons with [[5mm post]]s, instead featuring a small peg-hole in his palm that allows him to tightly grip objects designed to fit there, like his own rifle, [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Leobreaker]]'s whip, ''Cybertron'' Wing Saber's swords, and ''Cybertron'' [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]]'s [[Sparkdrinker|axe]]. However ''Cybertron'' Wing Saber's sword hilts will also act as adaptors allowing Prime to hold and use 5mm weapons.

:As this is the Unicron Triogy we're talking about, it should come as no surprise that Prime can transform into a Super Mode by combining with his trailer, which becomes a massive winged backpack and a pair of large boots, generally evocative of [[Ginrai (human)|God Ginrai]]. To complete his Super Mode look, a small lever of the back of Prime's head raises his traditional mouthplate into place, covering his Optimus Primal-style mouth slot, and two "crests" fold out from either side of his helmet. Hasbro's instructions and stock photography for the figure orient the wings so that the two cannons point over Prime's shoulders, but Takara's have wings arcing up past his shoulders, with the cannons slung under his arms. This was the way Prime appeared in the cartoon series, and was the way all subsequent Hasbro redecos of the toy were positioned. In Super Mode, Prime is a rather top-heavy robot, and his hip joints are not that tight, which makes standing him up a challenging prospect.

:Prime comes with a unique Cyber Key, designed after the twin-handled appearance of the Matrix of Leadership, bearing the [[Cyber Key Codes|code]] '''l8p3'''. When inserted into the cannon that the rifle is part of, a pair of additional spring-loaded missile launchers flip down from the its sides. Slotting the key into the electronic cannon opens up the panels covering the front of the barrel, unlocking a different sound with its button is pressed. The paint job of the key is the principal difference between the Hasbro and Takara versions of the figure; the Japanese release features a metallic gold paint border around the key, furthering its resemblance to the Matrix. Other differences include more thoroughly painted knees, the two cannons on top of him and leg-armor cannons, yellow-painted signal lights above the cab, a silver paint line across his face, and the use of metal hinges to hold on his wing tips, which were removable on Hasbro's version, and came disconnected in-package. Also the wheels on the rear of the robot (which form his legs) are painted gold just like the front wheels in the ''Takara'' version, while the ''Hasbro'' version leaves this part unpainted.

:In Super Mode, Optimus Prime can combine with [[Overhaul (Cybertron)#Voyager|Leobreaker]] to form "Savage Claw Mode", which sees the feline Autobot become a gigantic clawed arm for his leader. Alternately, if Prime's backpack is removed, he can merge with [[Wing Saber (Energon)#Cybertron|Wing Saber]] into "Sonic Wing Mode", with the aerial ace forming a new winged backpack and chestplate for Optimus, and providing him with new hand-held sword weapons and firing missile launchers that connect to his Super Mode boots. The nature of the combination means that the two partners cannot combine with Prime at once—at least, not without physically removing one of Prime's own arms.

:Optimus is slightly mistransformed in the image to the right, in vehicle mode his chest windows should be folded round to the sides of the cab to cover the arm sockets.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends of Cybertron, 2005)

: [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends of Cybertron]] Optimus is a very simplified version of ''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime, with no weapons or trailer, just the front portion of the truck. It transforms into the standard robot mode, with a very similar [[transformation scheme]] to the full-sized toy, and has no useful articulation of the shoulders.

:The figure was released in Japan along with Legends Megatron and [[Starscream (Armada)#Toys|Starscream]], under the "EZ Collection" banner, in the same packaging as the Hasbro release but with a small card insert featuring the Japanese logo and nomenclature, similar to a [[USA Edition]]. As with all the EZ Collection figures, this release features a substantially greater number of paint operations that increase Optimus's resemblance to his larger figure.

:This redeco of Leader-class Optimus Prime replaced most of the plastics in the cab robot with colored translucent equivalents, with chromed silver wrist-pipes, a golden chrome Matrix, and red chrome window frames. His trailer remained opaque, but was cast in much deeper red plastic, with a more metallic silver used for his cannons. He was available only in a Toys"R"Us Japanese exclusive giftset released in October 2005, with a redeco of Wing Saber, and the [[Cobybot|Coby Sen'yō Rumble]].

*'''Galaxy Force Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Trailer/armor, rifle, three missiles, Matrix of Leadership, Cyber Key

:Released in the latter stages of the ''Cybertron'' toyline, this redeco of the Leader-class Optimus Prime figure introduced a new colour scheme that several other tail-end releases would emulate. Taking its name from the Japanese version of ''Cybertron'' and with a bio noting that this new body depicts Prime after he embarks on his galaxy-spanning mission at the end of the ''Cybertron'' cartoon, "Galaxy Force" Optimus Prime replaces the original toy's blue parts with black and the translucent blue with smokey clear, and moulds several—but not all—grey parts out of red plastic, including the toy's rifles, rail gun covers, missile launchers, and Super Mode leg guns. In the realm of new paint operations, Prime now sports all four Cyber Planet Key symbols on his shoulders, and his unique Matrix-shaped Cyber Key (now with the code '''lo9x''') finally has a gold-painted border, as it had always had in Japan. Additionally, Prime's hip joints were tightened up with this release, making it easier to stand him up in Super Mode.

:Optimus is slightly mistransformed in the image to the right, in vehicle mode his chest windows should be folded round to the sides of the cab to cover the arm sockets.

: This toy was later re-released in a [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'']] multi-pack ([[##VsCrumplezone|see below]]).

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Left and right smokestacks, Cybertron Cyber Key

:The first Deluxe Optimus Prime figure in the ''Cybertron'' line was a redeco of ''Armada'' [[#Super-Con|Super-Con ''Armada'' Optimus Prime]], recolored in red and black to resemble the Leader Class Galaxy Force Optimus Prime figure.

: He does not come with his Mini-Con partner Over-Run in this release; instead, Optimus Prime and his [[wave]]-mate [[Demolishor (Armada)#Cybertron|Demolishor]] debuted a new brand of Cyber Key: [[retool]]ed from the standard Cybertron style key, this version lacked a sculpted [[insignia]], so that any symbol could be [[tampograph]]ed on to it, and featured a [[Mini-Con]]-style [[Powerlinx]] socket on the back, allowing it to operate the figure's formerly-Mini-Con-activated "punching" feature without the figure itself having to be retooled.

: The key sports a tampographed Autobot insignia, a red border, and the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] "'''D56B'''" tampographed on the back. This code, when entered on Hasbro's website, was supposed to unlock additional information on the character or the toy, but due to an error on behalf of Hasbro, it unlocked information intended for Optimus Prime's wave-mate, the aforementioned Deluxe Class Demolishor; Optimus Prime's information was instead unlocked using the code "dt67", which was tampographed on the back of the Cyber Key included with said Demolishor toy.

: As was the case with the ''Universe'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Universe|"Battle in a Box" Ultra Magnus]] release of this sculpt, initial shipments of Optimus Prime had the forearms [[Misassembly|swapped]], leaving his elbow joints useless. This was corrected for later shipments. A further [[variant|running change]] saw tampographeded graphics depicting the four planet symbols added to the truck mode's cab.
: This sculpt was later redecoed once again for a 2008 ''Universe'' [[#Universe_.282008.29|multi-pack release]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Jetboard, missile, Jungle Planet Cyber Key

: This unusual iteration of Optimus Prime is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|Beast Wars 10th Anniversary]]'' Optimus Primal, transforming into a robotic gorilla in the pseudo-[[technorganic]]-looking style of the other [[Animatron|Jungle Planet]] toys. He comes with a Jungle Planet Cyber Key stamped with the code '''d7s9''', which plugs into his flying surfboard accessory to reveal a spring-loaded missile launcher. His brown and cream deco seems inspired by Donkey Kong, while the scar over his [[beast mode]] eye seems intended to homage Peter Jackson's [[King Kong]].

: This figure contains an unusual amount of sculpted detail on the inside of the plastic. The gorilla mode's chest has a ribcage, and the inside of the gorilla's face has a sculpted microphone, which lines up perfectly with the robot mode's head! Also, opening this toy's chest in robot mode reveals sculpted detail resembling the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] as it appeared in [[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]].

: While this mold was first released earlier in 2006 as part of the ''Beast Wars 10th Anniversary'' line and is obviously meant to be Optimus Primal, it was developed to fit in with ''Cybertron's'' Jungle Planet aesthetic, "in case" the ''Beast Wars'' Anniversary release didn't pan out (according to [[Aaron Archer]]'s statements at [[BotCon 2005]]).

: This mold was also used for [[BotCon 2014]] [[Apelinq (BM)#Timelines|Apelinq]] and [[Primal Prime#Timelines|Primal Prime]].

:The first in TakaraTomy's ''[[Hybrid Style]]'' series, Galaxy Convoy is a partly die-cast figure with scaled-down equivalents of the accessories that came with the Leader-class figure. This highly-intricate figure retains all the transformation abilities of the original figure—vehicle, flight mode, robot, and Super Mode—and even its Cyber Key-activated features (even coming with two keys so they can be deployed simultaneously), with additional touches like spring-loaded mechanisms that snap his cannons into place, and hand-grips on the weapons for Super Mode. While he does lack electronics or firing missiles, Prime still includes his Matrix, super-tiny yet still removable, and has four alternate sets of hands: two clenched fists, two with pointing index fingers, two with splayed palms, and two curved hands for holding his various weapon handles. Given the figure's small size, a reconfigurable head was infeasible, so it also comes with an alternate Super Mode head with a mouthplate and crests deployed, though the standard head must be attached in order for the figure to be transformed to vehicle mode.

In lieu of combining with his drones, Optimus Prime can also combine with ''Platinum Edition'' [[Omega Supreme (WFC)#Platinum Edition|Omega Supreme]] to form what his instructions ''also'' call "Super Optimus Prime". The drones are color-matched to Omega Supreme, and can attach to four connectors on his body. In an undocumented feature, Prime can also merge with ''Energon'' [[Wing Saber (Energon)#Energon|Wing Saber]].

:Though the [[stock photography]] shows the original mouthed-face head and smooth inner chest windows, the final toy uses the face-plated head and ridged inner windows. The [[packaging]]'s [[bio]] is every [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Prime]] bio ever (well, [[Optimus Prime (SG)|mostly]]), [[Ask Vector Prime]] would eventually declare him to be a version of Unicron Trilogy Optimus.

:''Platinum Edition'' Optimus Prime is exclusive to BigBadToyStore and Amazon.com in America, but was also released at Philippine mass retail in limited quantities, in Australia as a Kmart exclusive and in Canada as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive. All electronics have been omitted from this version, even the light-up feature retained by Takara's Superlink release, trading the LED for an open hole in the chest.

: Two of his limbs are based on ''Armada'' Optimus Prime; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus's original body. Another limb-bot is based on [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus]] (Soundwave helmet), and the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]!

:This small version of ''Energon'' Optimus Prime was released by Kabaya as part of their ''[[DX Transformers]]'' line of candy toys. Prime transforms in the same manner as the larger ''Energon'' figures do, though his arms have to be removed at the shoulder and reinserted into his back to form truck mode. The Prime Force were sold in a separate set in the ''DX Transformers'' series, and can combine with Prime to form his Super Mode. Optimus came with a stick of gum.

**''ID number:'' '''PKS 01'''
**''Accessories:'' Fire-1, Gyro-2, Digger-3, Submarine-4, Convoy Gun, 3 "bullets", [[Energon star]], standard robot mode feet (x2), standard mode head, Super Mode head, antenna

: This miniature model kit of ''Energon'' Optimus Prime comes unassembled and unpainted, moulded mainly from white, red and black ABS plastic and featuring some stickers for essential detail. Standing at around 4.5 inches tall, he comes with his Prime Force drones and can combine with them in the usual ways; while Fire-1, Gyro-2 and Digger-3 are moulded in their normal colours, Submarine-4 is stuck being black, and like every other non-color-molded, non-stickered detail on the kit, must be painted by the buyer. Prime's transformation involves removing his feet and head (an alternate Super Mode head is included, as his antenna does not transform into a helmet), and he does not come with a trailer for the Prime Force, but his gun can shoot small orange plastic BBs via a pressure-launching mechanism, and he comes with a small gold-chromed Energon star that fits onto his left shoulder. The kit also comes with "Episode 1" of the "[[Optimus Prime VS Scourge]]" mini-comic, printed on the back of the instructions.

:The kit was later [[redeco]]ed into Grand Convoy Super Mode White Version (see below) and [[Grand Scourge]], which came with episode 2 of the Convoy VS Scourge story.

It is a solid white version of the normal model kit, possessing all the features of the normal figure, which was intended to be used in a customization/painting contest held at the convention. It lacks the comic of the normal release.

:The Grand Convoy Pla-Kit was also used to make Grand Scourge.

:Produced by the [[Chupa Chups]] lollipop company, this small version of Prime is essentially a battery-powered "holder" for lollipops, which fit behind his head and are spun around by a motor that activates when his pelvis is pressed. Prime has articulation in his shoulders, and his fists feature small holes that allow him to hold and store two more lollipops, in addition to the strawberry sucker he comes with. Weirdly, his [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] compartment is open instead of having the grill front-and-center.

:This ''Cybertron'' spin pop consists of a generic handle with an Optimus Prime sticker, topped with a figurine of Prime through which the included lollipop slots. When the handle is squeezed, a manual gear mechanism spins both the figure and lollipop—no batteries necessary! The handle was also redecoed in orange for a Megatron spin pop, with a figure of the Decepticon leader on top.

The figure's shoulder cannons came on a separate sprue in-package and had to be removed by the buyer. Prime's head can be removed and attached to the ''Hyper Transformers'' Omega Supreme figure, creating Optimus Supreme. As a candy toy, Prime came with a stick of gum.

[[File:TransformersEnergonFigurePen.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|"Standing up—my one weakness!"]]
*'''Transformers Energon Figure pen''' (2004)

: The Transformers Energon figure pen is based on Optimus Prime in his standard Energon body. About the size of a scout class toy, he transforms from truck mode to robot mode almost identically to his mainline toys, apart from the fact that his feet contain the pen and cannot bend. It's really hard to write with, and almost impossible to pose, even though it has full arm articulation. Amusingly, this figure can position itself to transform into his super robot mode (by flipping his helmet on, opening his chest and flipping his hands in), but because there are no versions of the Prime Force drones in this scale, it's impossible to complete him.

:The pen was manufactured and distributed by Stylus.

Additional Super Mode pieces were not created for this line, as that wasn't the point.

:Based on Cybertron Optimus Prime's fire truck mode, this figure is basically a support figure for your Super Optimus Prime robot mode figures. The figure's very reliable ''Transform'' power allows a player to get the expensive 40 point Super Optimus Prime figure into play for only 30 points.

*One of the earliest ''Armada'' Optimus Prime concepts depicts him as being an ENORMOUSLY HUGE MONSTER TRUCK. Makes one wonder about the origins of the "Monster Convoy" inscription on Super Base Optimus Prime's tires.

*''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime has some design similarities to GaoGaiGar from ''{{w|The King of Braves GaoGaiGar}}'', such as the chin protrusion and cheekguards.

*''Energon'' Optimus Prime's combination with the Prime Force is...well, it's pretty much as close to a Sentai Robo that Transformers has ever gotten. It's also highly reminiscent of Voltron, as noted by our captions for that toy's image. That being said, Transformers characters who combine with non-sentient drones have become more common in the years since ''Energon'', so it seems less unusual now than when it was new.

* '''Galvatron''' (Decepticon, 1986/1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-62'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser Rifle, Particle Cannon, Particle Cannon connector

: Galvatron transforms into a Cybertronic treaded field artillery unit with an alternate hand-held gun mode. His paintjob is based on the Marvel comics version of the character, therefore being predominantly gray with red and dark purple accents.

:Using a 9-volt battery, he features a light-up barrel in cannon or gun mode, light-up eyes in robot mode, and three different electronic warbly noises in all of his modes. Galvatron is notable as one of the most well-articulated toys in the ''Generation 1'' line, with ratcheting shoulders and hips, as well as swivel waist, elbows, mid-biceps, knees, and ankle joints. He was also armed with a small, black laser rifle. In Japan, he was released as part of the ''[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]'' sub-line.

: The original Galvatron toy was much later [[redeco]]ed and re-released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] into a sort-of more show-like appearance, being primarily purple instead of gray. His face mold was slightly [[retool]]ed into a more manic, screeching expression, and his electronics were totally overhauled, now running on two AA batteries instead of a 9-volt. Gone are his three different electronic squeals: the three positions of Galvatron's sliding switch now denote a singular laser noise, the transformation sound effect (played forwards and backwards), and five speech clips by his Japanese voice actor, [[Seizō Katō]]: "Wa-ha-ha-ha, kono orokamono-me!" (Bwah ha ha ha! You fools!), "Eei, Cybertron wo hineri-tsubuse!" (Hrr--crush the Autobots!), "Kono yaku-tatazu mono ga!" (You're all useless!), "Eei, hakai shite kureru wa!" (Grrah, I'll destroy you!), and "Destron gundan, transform!" (Decepticon army, transform!). He also comes with a golden redeco of the die-cast [[Matrix of Leadership]] accessory previously included with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#NewYearConvoy|New Year Special Convoy]], which features a small removable chain that allows it to hang around his neck, as seen in the film.

: This version of the mold was later redecoed into the original toy's colors for the [[e-HOBBY]]-exclusive [[Galvatron II]], with a new speech clip.

*'''Galvatron''' (Deluxe Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Galvatron transforms into a tank reminiscent of the [http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/israel/merkava.htm Israel Weapons Industries Merkava] main battle tank with some design elements taken from [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron's]] old [[Neutro-Fusion Tank]]. On the tank turret is the slogan "GALV-25", in reference to the [[franchise]]'s 25th anniversary.

:This toy has many undocumented features in the form of small moving parts that play no role in either mode; most conspicuous are two articulated feet for the tank mode. In one of the [[Hasbro Q&A]] sessions, it was confirmed that these are remnants of an early design version of Galvatron, which would have been at a larger size class and [http://www.toymania.com/news/messages/10873.shtml featured a third mode as a "walking tank."] It is still possible to manipulate his parts into a mode greatly resembling the original concept design.

:There were several odd paint choices used on this figure. The left arm is molded in purple plastic to properly match the rest of the robot mode... but is then painted over in tank-mode grey paint, even though the arm is not visible in tank mode at all. The vehicle mode's wheels are molded in the same translucent orange as the cannon, and then painted over with ''a slightly different shade of orange''. [[Hasbro]] lead designer [[Bill Rawley]] commented at [[BotCon 2010]] that these must have been paint-assignment errors.

:Galvatron's transformation is almost insanely complex for a Deluxe Class figure–and in addition, the toy is notorious for having poor plastic tolerances that make it prone to simply falling apart during transformation. The ''Henkei'' version (see below) is noticeably sturdier.

:Hasbro's print advertisement for this figure (featuring Galvatron in combat with [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Sideswipe]]) depicts it with the right arm held away from the body and pointing upwards... which is a pose the toy cannot actually assume, short of digital manipulation and/or breaking and creatively gluing the arm.

:Galvatron has a peculiar 5mm peg smack dab on the top of his turret, which allows him to be held in a most hilarious fashion by other Transformers who can manage the clearance around the turret's fin.

**''ID number:'' '''D-06'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:''Henkei! Henkei!'' Galvatron is a redeco of ''Universe'' Galvatron. As with all ''Henkei'' releases, TakaraTomy have attempted to make the toy better resemble his cartoon counterpart, so most of the bright orange plastic from the ''Universe'' toy is now black. The shade of purple used on ''Henkei'' Galvatron is the lighter, lavender shade commonly seen on Takara's Galvatron toys, rather than the deeper purple seen on Hasbro's Galvatron toys. The left arm now retains the "correct" robot-mode plastic color, instead of being painted over in tank colors as the Hasbro version was. The gray is also lighter and a cooler shade of gray than the warm shade used on the Hasbro version.

:Galvatron features [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] plastic, though in Galvatron's case it is the most random and illogical usage of the gimmick yet in the ''Henkei'' toyline. Galvatron's entire tank turret and the equipment on the vehicle side skirts are vacuum-metallized silver, making him one hell of a blingin' tank. His six-pack... errr, four-pack abs are likewise covered in reddish chrome, a design choice that had also been used on the 2005 "anime-colored" G1 Galvatron reissue and on ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Energon|Galvatron]].

:Also of note, the box art on the back of the packaging shows the mythical third "turret" mode, but has no instructions on how to convert the toy into it.

*'''Specialist: Decepticons''' (2014)
**''Accessories:'' Missile
:This redeco of the'' [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' Galvatron toy was aimed at being even more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] than the Henkei version shown above. Galvatron now features metallic blue paint on most of his robot body and metallic red on his abdominal plates. His cannon barrel is completely unpainted and translucent, likewise to better resemble both the show and the original toy. He now has Decepticon [[insignia]]s on his robot chest and tank turret, for the first time in the history of the [[mold]].

:All promotional photographs of this piece showed it deliberately mistransformed in vehicle mode, with the cannon left stretched above the turret, apparently to make it look <s>more show-accurate</s> less like a real-world tank.

:Galvatron was sold as part of a "Specialist: Decepticons" [[giftset]] alongside [[Astrotrain (G1)#Generations|Astrotrain]] and [[Octane#Generations|Octane]]. This was a Hasbro Asian market release, with the packaging and paperwork entirely in English.

*'''Nucleon & Galvatron''' (Voyager Class, 2016)
**''Series / Number:'' '''?'''
**''Accessories:'' 'Nucleon' Titan Master partner, cannon

:Galvatron is a new Voyager-class mold as part of the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' subline imprint, partially inspired by Guido Guidi's design from ''[[Spotlight: Galvatron]]''. He transforms into his original cannon mode and also has a third mode as a space fighter. He includes a new "[[Nucleon (Generations)|Nucleon]]" [[Titan Master]] partner that can turn into the robot's head, or can pilot the vehicle modes. Like many of the weapons in the ''Titans Return'' line, his particle cannon features a cockpit for a Titan Master figure; it is undocumented in his instructions, but can be found by simply flipping up the back of the weapon.

:Like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager-class figures, Galvatron has a spring-loaded pop-out adornment to "bulk up" his head to slightly more appropriate proportions. In his case, it's a "mask" of sorts that consists of his signature crown and chinstrap that swings out of his chest. Unfortunately, it doesn't sit flush against his face due to the mask's overall thickness, and has minimal neck articulation, which has the effect of immobilizing the head pretty much entirely. Initial prototypes of the figure showed Nucleon with purple paint applications to help blend in with the surrounding mask, but the retail version is entirely unpainted grey plastic. The Takara ''Legends'' release however, features the same paint mask as the prototypes.

:Many samples of this mold suffer from the running Titan Master design flaw, leading to loose or overly-tight neck ports. Several purple parts of the figure are in fact black plastic painted purple, the shade of which is visually mismatched to the actual purple plastic.

:The promotional images for this figure, shown above, depict a different sculpt for the crown-mask. This tooling lasted late enough in the development process that it surfaced on [[:File:TR-Galvatron-prototype-alt-mask.jpg|some prototypes]].

**''Accessories'': Gun, Missile, Matrix of Leadership
:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Galvatron is another redeco of the 2008 ''Universe'' Deluxe Class figure, meant to be in "[[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]]" colors but attempting so in a manner slightly different from previous versions. Notably, it features the return of the "mistaken" tank mode paint color on the left arm. It also uses the Decepticon insignia from the [[live-action film series]] instead of the ''Generation 1'' variety.

:Galvatron was available as part of a 2-pack with [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#RiseOfRodimus|Rodimus Prime]] (a redeco of the ''[[#Titanium Series|Titanium Series]]'' figure), aptly named "Rise of Rodimus Prime", which also contained a [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Platinum Edition|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory, a redeco of the Matrix originally included with ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|MP-10 Convoy]]/[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10hasbro|Optimus Prime]] which Galvatron can loosely hold in his right hand.

:Like several of the 2016 ''Platinum Edition'' sets, "Rise of Rodimus Prime" saw a very limited release: Basically, the two-pack was released in some of Hasbro's Asian markets, was stocked by some online retailers in the United States that obtain their stock through Asian vendors (such as [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource), and aside from that apparently only ever saw a wider release in ''Brazil'', of all places, where it was also first officially revealed by Hasbro at ABRIN (the Brazilian Toy Fair) in April of 2016. ''That's it''. The set never saw an official Hasbro-initiated release in the United States.

It was subsequently re-released in the 1990s by Takara as merchandise for the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'' line]] in the USA. The watch featured Galvatron's torso with a clock in his chest. It included a mechanism whereby when a lever was pushed, the tiny Galvatron torso "transformed" into a full tiny Galvatron figure complete with legs, standing up on the watch band. The figure cannot be removed from the watch, but the arms do rotate. In Japan, these were considered "roleplay" items representing [[wrist-communicator]]s.

:Galvatron was one of three non-transforming ''[[Super Hybrid Model]]'' vinyl figurines created in 1987 by Japanese collectables company [[MC Axis]]. Standing at about eight inches tall and featuring articulation in the neck and shoulders, Galvatron and his fellows ([[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]) were based on their [[Studio OX]] character models, featuring much more anime-styled proportions and detailing.

: While the mass-market release of the ''Super Hybrid Model'' line was cancelled, Galvatron eventually saw the light of day as the exclusive toy for [[BotCon Japan 1997]]. The figure was initially available in two versions: "standard" purple and a translucent orange "lava bath" version limited to 100 pieces. In subsequent years, at least two more versions of this figure would be released for online sale: one that replaced the orange paint on the cannon barrel with an orange molded plastic piece, and another that replaced the entire purple body coloration with royal blue.

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.

==Notes==
[[File:Megalvatron.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|This toy IS a time paradox.]]
* In the [[Toy Fair 1986|1986 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair catalog]], Galvatron's orange cannon is [[:File:ToyFair1986-TFpage09a.jpg|colored dark (either black or a dark purple)]]. Presumably, this version of the toy was based upon his early color model.
* A triple changer was proposed which would switch between a very awkward Galvatron, Megatron, and a Walther P-38 handgun with added futuristic silencer and laser sight. It is notable that the strange "Reverse Megatron" design has a mild resemblance to the also-unproduced Galvatron [[Action Master]], especially in the chest design.
* A Galvatron Action Master was planned at one point, but apparently went no further than a concept sketch. It is only vaguely similar to Galvatron's normal appearance and may possibly have been a "powered up" Galvatron of some sort.

:''Air Raid is an [[Autobot]] [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]] and sometimes [[Cyberjet]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:TFU Air Raid.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Danger? HA! I laugh at danger! LAUGH, I TELL YOU!!!]]
Some might call '''Air Raid''' reckless, the way he dives out of nowhere, charging enemy units head on. Air Raid would laugh at that. A rash and fearless young warrior who loves surprises (especially those that leave his foes too stunned to fight back), he has only one real goal in life: to have fun. Needless to say his attitude puts him in a lot of danger, but you can be sure he's enjoying himself the whole time.

Air Raid combines with his fellow [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] to form [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] or with other Transformers to form [[Galvatronus (Generations)|Galvatronus]].

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Rob Paulsen]] (English), [[Kenyū Horiuchi]] (Japanese), [[Kōki Kataoka]] (Japanese, "War Dawn"), [[Show Hayami]] (Japanese, "Thief in the Night"), [[Masashi Ebara]] (Japanese, "Fight or Flee"), [[Yoku Shioya]] (Japanese, "The Ultimate Weapon")|[[Xu Hong]] (Chinese), [[Wolfgang Mascher]] (German, ''Forever Is a Long Time Coming''), [[Imo Heite]] (German, ''Starscream's Ghost''), [[Bernd Simon]] (German, ''Thief in the Night''), [[Reinhard Brock]] (German, ''Fight or Flee'' and ''The Big Broadcast of 2006''), [[Fritz von Hardenberg]] (German, ''The Ultimate Weapon''), [[Gerd Wiedenhofen]] (German, Generation 2 Dub)}}

At one point during the eternal war with the Autobots on Earth, [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] grew fed up with how his opponents ruled the roads and created a group of Decepticon cars known as the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]]. In order to give his new warriors life and intellect, he brought them to Cybertron and tracked down the ancient supercomputer, [[Vector Sigma]], to input cybernetic personalities into the Stunticons. Thanks to a series of traps and drones in their way, the Autobots failed to prevent Megatron from succeeding and returning to Earth. Seeking to even the playing field, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] conceived of the idea of retrofitting several broken-down Cybertronian ships into Earthly jets, and bringing them to life as a team of Autobot flyers. With the help of his tech-savvy soldiers, [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]], Wheeljack, [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], and Prime's own creator, [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], Optimus' plan was enacted and the Aerialbots were born. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

Like most of the Aerialbots, Air Raid was slow to learn the Autobots' ways. Overly impressed with the flying skills of [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] and his wingmen, the Aerialbots were easily lured onto a [[Kronosphere]] platform, and cast more than nine million years into the past. They had the opportunity to view Megatron's evil firsthand, as the early Decepticons deactivated their new friends [[Elita One (G1)|Ariel]], [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Orion Pax]]. Air Raid and the others soon returned to the future with a newfound resolve to oppose the Decepticons' tyranny. {{storylink|War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn}}

Air Raid led the Aerialbots in a flight around the Statue of Liberty, which the Autobots were gracefully coating with [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]'s new invention, [[Corrostop]], to prevent corrosion. Unfortunately, the Decepticons were just as interested in Perceptor's work, and the Stunticons arrived to kidnap him. Air Raid and the others chased the Stunticons aboard [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] all the way back to the Decepticons' undersea base, but were driven off by the [[Lightning Bug]]. This impressive heat ray zapped Air Raid's missile in mid-flight, then tagged his tail for good measure. He was forced to sit there and smolder while giving his report to Optimus Prime before being allowed to pick up some replacement parts. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

[[File:Airraidairassault.jpg|thumb|225px|left|Happybot!]]Air Raid was with the Aerialbots when they answered a distress call about a canyon cave-in, but the team soon discovered the call was a trap laid by the Combaticons. After taking out Slingshot the Combaticons claimed the upper hand, until the arrival of Autobot reinforcements changed their minds and the tide of battle. As the Combaticons retreated, Silverbolt held Air Raid back from pursuing the Combaticons in order to get his help in digging out Slingshot. After his recovery, Slingshot volunteered to be a decoy as part of Skydive's plan to investigate a plane smuggling ring. Air Raid sarcastically told his fellow jets to enjoy their 'vacation' as he departed.

Returning later to assist Slingshot and Skydive, Air Raid and Silverbolt took on Vortex, Ramjet, Blast Off and a fleet of drone jets while under fire from the Combaticons and Megatron's [[Giant Purple Griffin|purple griffin fortress]]. After the Combaticons formed Bruticus, Air Raid tried to distract the giant Decepticon from smacking Silverbolt, and got smacked himself instead. With the arrival of Fireflight, the Aerialbots combined into Superion and wrestled with Bruticus, then separated again. With a well-placed shot, they set an [[oil]] field ablaze and the resulting blast sent the defeated Decepticons and Bruticus flying into the sky.

[[File:AirraidandaliassaultG1.jpg|thumb|225px|What!!! A fly in my energon soup?!]]
After regrouping in [[Jumal|Prince Jumal]]’s palace, Air Raid threatened some good old fashioned Autobot justice against captured Decepticon minion [[Ali (Sunbow)|Ali]], but Silverbolt said the Aerialbots should let Prince Jumal deal with his fellow human. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}}

After the death of Megatron and the retaking of Cybertron, Air Raid and the Aerialbots became part of the Autobot Fleet. When [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] and Spike were kidnapped to [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]], the rescue party alerted the Aerialbots to swoop by for covering fire and pick-up. Air Raid and Skydive made the strafing run that took out the Quintessons' defensive [[proton cannon]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}} When the Quintessons destroyed their own planet to get at the Autobots, the resulting blast wave destroyed the Aerialbots' ship, sending Air Raid and the rest hurtling through space. They eventually impacted on [[Goo 8739B]], {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} and were rescued by [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

{{Note|In the episode "[[Dark Awakening (episode)|Dark Awakening]]", several jets in the Autobot Fleet resembling the Aerialbots' alt modes were destroyed by the Quintessons. Repeatedly. Since the Aerialbots unquestionably survived the attack, it would seem their character models were merely used to build up the size of the fleet, and the casualty figures.}}

When Perceptor's science team were attacked in space, Air Raid and the Aerialbots accompanied [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] in rescuing them. As Superion, they confronted a horde of Quintessons and drove them off. After Silverbolt disengaged their super mode, Air Raid still wanted to chase after the Quintessons, but Silverbolt reined him in. Air Raid chastised him for having no sense of adventure, to which Silverbolt retorted that was exactly why he was in charge. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (episode)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

One lovely afternoon in space, Air Raid was playing cat-and-mouse with [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. Once he had finished his fun, Air Raid led the Decepticon duo into an asteroid field where his fellow Aerialbots were waiting to spring an ambush. The Aerialbots messed the Decepticons up pretty badly, especially after they transformed into Superion. Eventually, they chased the Decepticons through a strange warp in space. This proceeded to have no consequences for [[Sandstorm (G1)|anyone]] [[Paradron|whatsoever]]. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}}

[[File:Airraidfightorflee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left|I'll kill you, asteroid!]]Air Raid and the Aerialbots were spending a relaxing day watching home movies on [[Teletraan II]] when things suddenly got serious, as the Autobots' computer off-handedly informed them [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] was never destroyed in his last battle with [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. When they tracked Trypticon to his new staging grounds, Air Raid and the Aerialbots launched from [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], but the Decepticon presence in [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]] was more than they had anticipated. Still, Air Raid paid tribute to his leader Silverbolt by reciting his famous battle-cry, "Good-bye, cruel world!" He dipped his singed tailfins in the ocean and managed to make a hasty retreat with Broadside and his fellow Aerialbots. The Aerialbots soon returned with reinforcements and drove the Decepticons from Carbombya. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

When Starscream possessed [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and attempted to get rid of Galvatron, he lured him into an Autobot trap involving Rodimus Prime and the Aerialbots. {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}}

During a battle in space, Air Raid and the Aerialbots may or may not have been present. Superion, at least, was surely there on the planet [[Eurythma]]...sometimes. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}}

After [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] took some hostile fire over the [[Junkion (planet)|planet of Junk]], Rodimus Prime dispatched Air Raid and the Aerialbots to investigate. They were caught in a crossfire between the brain-addled Junkions and the Quintessons, who were responsible for messing with the Junkions' air waves, and their minds. Even after becoming Superion, the Aerialbots took heavy fire and had to be brought back to [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] on Cybertron for repairs. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

On one occasion, Air Raid was buzzing too close to [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] during a battle on Earth, and the dinosaur city unleashed his full plasma breath. Air Raid's tail-fins were scorched and he had to set down in a small lake, but his sacrifice gave Silverbolt a chance to fly down Trypticon's throat now that his flame was temporarily used up. The Aerialbot leader was then able to cause serious internal damage to the giant Decepticon before flying back out again. And Air Raid ''totally'' planned it that way. No, really. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

During the Decepticon invasion of Japan, the Aerialbots fought against [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] when he tried to derail a bullet train full of passengers. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}} Sometime thereafter, Air Raid and the Aerialbots were recruited by Rodimus Prime to rescue the body of Optimus Prime from [[Gregory Swofford|Swofford]] and [[Mark Morgan|Morgan]]. Unfortunately, this only meant they were among the first Autobots exposed to the [[Hate Plague]]. Despite the madness induced by the red dust, the Aerialbots were apparently still willing to form Superion. Superion ran amok, causing serious property damage, infecting [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]], and taking several other Autobots out of action. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

When the Decepticons invaded Cybertron searching for the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], the Aerialbots tried to stop them. Unfortunately, they didn't reckon with [[Sixshot]]. Flying heedlessly into battle, Air Raid was shot down first by the [[Six Changer]]'s siege tank mode. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} The [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] then took his [[power pack]] to use as fuel for the giant rocket engine they were constructing for [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}} Fortunately, the Autobots won the day and ushered in a new Golden Age for Cybertron. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

When the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] confronted Menasor at a baseball stadium, Air Raid and the Aerialbots arrived as back-up. They formed Superion to engage Menasor and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. After [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] was injured, Superion targeted the Decepticon combiners' legs, shaking them loose and giving the smaller Protectobots a chance to link up with the Decepticon gestalts and override control of their bodies. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 5|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #5}} After the Autobots discovered a utopia island paradise, it was besieged by Megatron and the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]], who wanted to build an impregnable fortress. [[Kenji]] radioed for help, and Optimus Prime sent Air Raid and the Aerialbots to the rescue. As Superion they fought off [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], using their smarts to outthink the evil warriors. As [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] cast a massive hologram of Metroplex, Air Raid detached from Superion to buzz around Trypticon's head, tricking him into charging at the not-quite-there Autobot. Instead of grappling with his foe, Tryppy tripped over a cliff into the waters below. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 6|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #6}}

=====Scramble City: Mobilization=====
Air Raid and the Aerialbots were dispatched from the [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]] project by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] to aid Optimus Prime in battle with the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] and [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. Their aerial firepower frankly overwhelmed the marauding Decepticons, and sent them home with their transistors between their struts. On his second attempt, Megatron sent the Stunticons, who were considerably more successful in engaging the Autobots. Damaged in jet modes, Air Raid the Aerialbots chose instead to merge and form Superion. As Superion, they possessed scramble combining abilities, but so did the Stunticons when they formed Menasor. The Aerialbots were in the midst of reconfiguring their limb formation when Fireflight, being... well, a daydreaming idiot, mixed up whether he was supposed to be the right leg or the left. His indecision gave Menasor time to shoot him down, and [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] assumed the place of Superion's right leg instead, corrupting his programming. Air Raid and the others were trapped as Superion, literally fighting themselves, until Fireflight retook his place as Superion's limb. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

=====Full Throttle Scramble Power!=====
The Decepticons, up to their usual tricks, threatened to plunder Earth's resources. The Aerialbots pleaded with Optimus Prime to allow them to deal with their bitter rivals, the Stunticons, currently attacking a powerplant. Though Optimus was hesitant at first, the Aerialbots being new and inexperienced, he allowed them this chance to prove themselves. The two teams met, and quickly combined into their gestalt forms to do battle. Though Superion was initially crippled by the [[Omega Whip]], a new weapon controlled by the Decepticons, he held his own until the Autobots dispatched enough reinforcements to turn the tide of battle, and send the Decepticons fleeing. {{storylink|Full Throttle Scramble Power!}}

=====''The Great Transformer War''=====
In [[2010]], Galvatron kidnapped [[Dalton]] of [[Eran]] to utilize his skills and improve the Decepticons' combiner technology. Air Raid and the Aerialbots joined the Protectobots in assaulting Trypticon, in hopes of rescuing the hostage scientist. Air Raid and his team formed Superion for a first strike, but the Decepticon combiners countered with their deployment modes, launching the Stunticon and [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] troops with enough force to tear Superion apart. The Protectobots stood guard over [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] as he performed battlefield triage on the Aerialbots in his repair bay mode, bringing them back on-line. Silverbolt then transformed into launcher mode and unleashed Air Raid and the other Aerialbots in their own scramble attack, blinding Menasor and Bruticus long enough for the Autobots to escape safely with Dalton. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}

=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
Air Raid and the Aerialbots were stationed at Autobot City on Earth in 2011. When Galvatron attacked Cybertron via the old [[space bridge]] network, the Aerialbots were summoned to Cybertron as reinforcements. They soon arrived with the [[Trainbot]]s and quickly joined the battle. Air Raid and his team formed Superion and battled [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and Devastator. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Later, the combined Aerialbots fought alongside [[Raiden]] and Defensor against the Decepticon combiners, and were nearly crushed when Bruticus collapsed a building on their position. They were bailed out by the arrival of the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]]. When [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] began his search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] on Earth, Air Raid and the Aerialbots returned to the humans' planet to assist him. They confronted the Stunticons in the desert, pitting Superion against Menasor yet again. The battle was so fierce it eventually carried them to the Arctic where Hot Rod was searching. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

Air Raid and his flying comrades joined the [[Triple Changer]]s in distracting the Decepticons long enough for [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Twincast]] to sneak inside Trypticon and gather data on the [[Madmachine]]. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}Sometime later, Air Raid and the Aerialbots were on a research vessel that passed near a [[Metamorphose|strange meteorite]]. The meteorite had been altered by Galvatron to produce magnetic warping waves whenever it detected metal, and so it sent the Aerialbots and their ship twisting through space. Although the Decepticons tried to intervene, the Autobots eventually recovered Air Raid and his injured colleagues. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}}

Following a lengthy repair cycle, Air Raid and the Aerialbots were ready for action when Galvatron and the Decepticons laid siege to Cybertron one last time. Transporting to Cybertron from Earth, they raced into battle (on foot, for some reason). Air Raid and the team got the drop on the Stunticons when they merged into Superion, smashing and scattering the 'Cons before they could form Menasor. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} As the fighting continued, the Aerialbots battled Abominus as Superion and later separated to trade blaster fire with the Stunticons. The warring only came to an end once [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s bombs blew up [[Vector Sigma]] and annihilated the planet.{{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

When [[buridanka|a giant carnivorous plant]] attacked San Francisco, Ultra Magnus dispatched Air Raid and the Aerialbots to combat it. Although they made frequent bombing runs on the organism, the Aerialbots were unable to stop it. Only the arrival of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] and his powerful giant [[Transtector]] brought an end to the creature's rampage. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} Air Raid and the Aerialbots were part of a strike team that flew to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to disrupt Scorponok's gathering of Decepticons. They immediately formed Superion upon entering the battle. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}}

When one of Scorponok's Death Towers emerged in Washington D.C., Air Raid and the Aerialbots were dispatched to investigate it. As part of Superion, Air Raid participated in the Autobots final battle with Scorponok's Decepticons at the North Pole. He lent his energies to the Headmasters' [[Head Formation]] to revitalize Fortress Maximus at the critical moment. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

They went on to accompany Broadside to the [[Legends World]] and help him defeat [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]], who then started living with them on Broadside's giant [[transtector]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 53|Bonus Edition Vol. 53}} The Aerialbots later visited Metroplex, another visitor to this world, and hosted their annual barbecue party on his city mode together with their old friend, [[Jumal|King Hassan]]. {{storylink|Unite Warriors Offshot|Energon BBQ Today!}} {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Metroplex)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}

''Thanks to his previous connection to the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]], [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]] began experiencing dreams and visions of new Transformers, beginning with an etching of Superion he made without even being consciously aware of it.'' {{storylink|Devastation Derby!}} ''By sharing his visions with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], Buster was able to clarify the images and understand the future of the evolution of the Cybertronian race—amalgam model robots like the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]' [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], capable of a more-streamlined merging into a more powerful form.'' {{storylink|Second Generation!}} ''Together, Optimus and Buster witnessed a prophetic vision in which Skydive and the other Aerialbots assisted the Protectobots in defending the [[Pullen Power Plant]] from the Combaticons and the Stunticons by combining into their gestalt forms.'' {{storylink|The Special Teams Have Arrived}} ''It was this vision which allowed Optimus Prime and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] to conceive of and construct the Aerialbots.'' {{storylink|Second Generation!}}

[[File:Air raid aerialbots over america.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"Character models? HA! I laugh at character models!"]]
Working on a plan to reverse engineer the gestalt technology the Decepticons used to create Devastator, Optimus Prime and the Autobots staged a daring raid on the Decepticon base of operations, giving [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]] enough time to digitally record the Constructicons' electrical transformation pattern for study. {{storylink|Command Performances!}} Working off that blueprint, Wheeljack successfully created Air Raid and the Aerialbots. During the new warriors' testing phase, however, the Autobots were alerted to a Decepticon operation at Hoover Dam. Only the Aerialbots were fast enough to reach the location in time, and so Prime was forced to send them into battle before their programming was completed.

Air Raid proved to be the most effective of the new Aerialbots in battle. After his fellow jets took a few hits in battle with the Cybertronian [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]], Air Raid singlehandedly shook their formation and tore up [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]]'s nosecone with his torque rifle, giving the other Aerialbots time to regroup.

The Aerialbots eventually turned the tide on the Decepticons and drove them off, giving them time to focus on the energy siphon which was the core of the problem. At Silverbolt's command, they merged into Superion and began dismantling the drill device. A problem arose, however, when [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]]'s [[cerebro-shell]] controlled pawn [[Ricky Vasquez]] pointed [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] (in his gun mode) at the giant Autobot. Because the majority of the Aerialbots were not programmed specifically to protect human life, Superion only saw a potential threat that needed to be eliminated. As the human fought against the Decepticons' control, Silverbolt too fought inside Superion's gestalt mind to protect the human. In the end, Silverbolt was forced to disengage Superion to keep him from destroying the human. Luckily, Ricky was more successful and managed to break the cerebro-shell's hold long enough to point Megatron at the drill and destroy it, ending the threat. {{storylink|Aerialbots over America!}}

[[File:Aerialbots minds wiped marvel 22.jpg|thumb|"Being lobotomized? HA! I laugh at being lobotomized!"]]
After the near disaster at Hoover Dam, Optimus Prime had the Aerialbots shut down and their programming completely erased. Returned to a blank slate, he then inputted fully-programmed personalities for them with the Matrix before their next mission. It, uh...didn't help. In battle with [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] as Superion, the Aerialbots were attacked by [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]], deactivated, and captured by [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]]. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic!}} It was only when the [[Battlecharger]]s went on a rampage across America and Circuit Breaker wanted to take them down that she struck a deal with her Autobot captives—they could go free if they allowed themselves to be temporarily combined into a [[Circuit Breaker's Autobot suit|battlesuit]] that she could use to defeat the Decepticons. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}}

[[File:Aerialbots all fall down.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.7]]
Optimus Prime sent Air Raid and the Aerialbots to back up Bumblebee as he investigated possible Decepticon activity at the unveiling of [[Power Station Alpha]]. They arrived just in time to see Bumblebee being blown away by the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] team guarding the power station and combined into Superion in an attempt to retrieve his body. {{storylink|Blood on the Tracks}} Upon learning that Optimus Prime had died in battle while the Aerialbots were on their mission Superion immediately disengaged and returned to the Ark. {{storylink|Power Struggle}} United with both G.I. Joe and [[Cobra]] against the Decepticons, who planned to use Power Station Alpha to destroy the world, Slingshot and the Aerialbots entered the battle and once more formed Superion, this time to defeat Devastator. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!}}

''The Aerialbots would once again encounter Menasor at a [[Blackrock Enterprises|Blackrock]] plant. When they combined into Superion this time their individual personalities merged and Air Raid and the others discovered that Silverbolt suffered from vertigo. Horrified at his fear of heights being found out, he drove their combined form into a vicious, brutal fury.'' {{storylink|...Perchance to Dream}}

''Later, Air Raid and the other Aerialbots fell under Jetfire's command, investigating enemy activity in a small East Coast town. Little did they suspect that Jetfire had been tasked with undermining each one of them as a means of testing their psychological limits. Early in the mission, Air Raid and Skydive teased Silverbolt over his displacement as team leader, unaware on how deep their words cut.''

''Air Raid's sensors detected the Decepticons upon the team's arrival, but the group's chance to strike in an organized manner was lost when Slingshot rushed a surprise attack. The Aerialbots came upon Starscream, Skydive, and Thundercracker syphoning electricity to create Energon cubes, and a stray shot caused the cache to detonate. The group managed to escape the explosion, and the Aerialbots merged into Superion to do away with Starscream, the other two Decepticons having already escaped. Superion proved destructive and slow-witted as ever, and his target managed to escape. Despite the mission ending on a sour note, Jetfire gave the Aerialbots a positive review, having been unconscious during Superion's poor showing.'' {{storylink|The Return of the Transformers}}

Air Raid and the other Autobots aboard the Ark watched as [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ratchet]] tried and failed to revive Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend!}} As [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] took over the Autobots, Air Raid and the other Aerialbots took an extended leave of absence from the war, since the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] commander focused Autobot resources on repairing their fallen comrades and prepping the Ark to become spaceworthy again. Back on Earth, the human [[Ethan Zachary]] replayed some of Optimus Prime's memories of Air Raid in an attempt to convince him that he was more than just a computer program. {{storylink|Pretender to the Throne!}} Air Raid disembarked with the rest of the Earth-bound Autobots from the Ark onto Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], where he and the other Autobots witnessed a battle for leadership between [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]. This was a moment of opportunity for [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s Decepticons, who attacked Slingshot and the others on the moon's surface. Though the Decepticons struck a devastating first blow, Blaster and Grimlock managed to temporarily put aside their differences in order to lead their troops together. Though many Autobots were severely damaged, the Decepticons were successfully pushed into a retreat. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

''At some point, the Aerialbots shot down [[Dreadwing (G1)|Dreadwing]] over one of Earth's oceans. Unfortunately the Decepticon was carrying a vital power source, requiring the resurrected Optimus Prime and the Autobot [[Powermaster]]s to go down to the sea bed to retrieve it.'' {{storylink|Dreadwing Down!}}

[[File:Aerialbots buster marvel 50.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"Kids ODing? HA! I laugh at kids ODing!"]]
Sometime later, it was Air Raid, [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]], and [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]] who were the first to respond to a distress call from Buster Witwicky, the Autobots' old human ally who had been the Decepticons' prisoner for nearly a year. They found the boy nearly frozen to death on an iceberg, and brought him to the care of his older brother, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]], and the latter's binary bonded partner, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. But the Autobots had been led into a trap laid out by Starscream, who had planted Buster outside the Decepticons' secret base. Though a brief fire-exchange ensued, the Autobots and Decepticon forces joined together when they realized that [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]], planning to acquire the nigh-infinite power of the [[Underbase]], posed a greater threat. Together, they were able to prevent him from absorbing most of the Underbase's power. Unfortunately, the fraction Starscream did manage to take into himself still bestowed him with unimaginable power. In an effort to protect the Earth from his rampage, the Aerialbots were Starscream's first victims, wiped out in a single blast of cosmic power in the skies over [[New York City]]. {{storylink|Dark Star}}

Along with the other deactivated Autobots aboard the Ark, Air Raid and the Aerialbots were eventually revived by the [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] super-energy Grimlock and the Dinobots recovered from [[Hydrus Four]]. He was ambushed and killed by [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s forces on [[Klo]], then revived by the mystical powers of the [[Last Autobot]]. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

[[File:Air raid mystery.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Problem?]]
One dark and stormy night, Air Raid heard a commotion in the halls of Earthforce's makeshift shuttle base, and turned on the lights to find [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] struggling with each other in the dark. The story was, Skydive had come by to relieve Wheeljack from guard duty, only to find the post abandoned and signs of a serious struggle in place of his comrade. There was a smoldering patch of ground, a hastily discarded blaster, and animal tracks all over. Thinking quickly, Skydive concluded that [[Fantasy Predacon|one]] of the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] had entered the base and ambushed Wheeljack where he sat. He rushed back to the shuttle and found the door had been forced. Seeing a shadowy figure carrying a heavy burden in the dark, Skydive figured it for the Predacon carrying Wheeljack's remains and LEAPT into action!

[[File:Aerialbots the house that wheeljack built.jpg|thumb]]
As it turned out, Wheeljack had just overheated the makeshift heating unit he had brought out to keep warm. Getting tangled in the smoking heater, Wheeljack knocked over his own table and broke the lamp. The noise brought an angry [[polar bear]] over, and a frantic Wheeljack tore out of there carrying the still smoldering heater, forcing the door to the shuttle when he reached it. Then some NUT jumped him from out of nowhere!

Air Raid suggested everyone go to bed and forget the incident ever happened. The motion carried. {{storylink|Mystery!}}

Air Raid was present with the entire Earthforce team outside Autobot Earthbase when Wheeljack unveiled his brand-new unbreachable defensive system. This was unfortunate, as Wheeljack had forgotten that, once activated, the system could only be turned off from the inside. [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]] elected to run the gauntlet and reach the shutdown console inside, and the Aerialbots provided air support for him. Air Raid and his buddies gunned down the [[Acid Bat]]s at the entryway, giving Prowl his chance to get through. {{storylink|The House that Wheeljack Built!}}

[[File:Aerialbots big broadcast of 2006.jpg|thumb]]
After receiving reports from [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] that [[Quintesson|strange goings-on]] were happening around the [[Junkion (planet)|planet of Junk]], [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodiums Prime]] sent Air Raid and the Aerialbots to investigate. Encountering a [[Quintesson Cruiser]] above the planet, they formed Superion, who fired his jets at the ship's force fields. The resultant explosion not only damaged the Quintesson craft but also knocked Superion unconscious. He was recovered by Sky Lynx, who returned him to Cybertron for repairs. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

[[File:Air raid escalation.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Why are you crumbling? You're not the [[Slingshot (G1)|guy]] with [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]].]]
After the defeat of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and his Decepticons on [[Klo]], the Autobots split into smaller combat units throughout the universe. Once Optimus Prime and Grimlock learned of the threat posed by the second generation [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian army]], though, the Autobot forces reconsolidated under their command. Air Raid and the other Aerialbots were first seen after the Autobots had retreated to an asteroid sanctuary for retraining. They were, um, outsmarted by [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] during the war games, and led into a Dinobot ambush. {{storylink|The Power and the Glory}} Later, he was rescued by the Decepticon [[Skywarp (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Skywarp]] in the skies over [[Ethos]] while battling [[Ethos raiding party|Cybertronians]]. {{storylink|Escalation!}} Still, he managed to do a little better against the Cybertronians the second time around, popping jets out of the sky so that the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] could, ah... greet them on the ground below. {{storylink|Total War!}} He was last seen preparing for the Autobot-Decepticon alliance's last stand against the [[Swarm (G2)|Swarm]] on Earth. {{storylink|A Rage in Heaven!}}

[[File:Aerialbots destiny.jpg|thumb|"Mission aborted? Ha! I laugh at missions being aborted!"]]
After Silverbolt was reformatted into a new [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]]-free body, he was reunited with Air Raid and the rest of the Aerialbots, flying scouting missions for [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s [[Cybertronian Civil Defense]]. They were recalled to base before they were able to stumble upon [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s Neo-Decepticons, which may have been fortunate as Soundwave had [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] waiting for them. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Three}} Soon after that Air Raid and the Aerialbots flew alongside [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] as he located Ultra Magnus, missing since his first bout with [[Galvatron II|Galvatron]], and updated him regarding the arrival of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s ''[[Warworld]]'' and its invading army of [[Blitz Engine]]s above Cybertron. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Four}} Air Raid and the Aerialbots then joined [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], Blades, [[Doubleheader]], [[Skyhammer (G1)|Skyhammer]], [[Cloudraker (G1)|Cloudraker]], [[Dogfight (G1)|Dogfight]] and [[Crossblades (G1)|Crossblades]] in attacking the ''Warworld'' directly, providing a distraction so that the [[Wrecker]]s could sneak aboard. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Five}}

===The Special Teams===
Air Raid was created on Cybertron, where Vector Sigma first ignited the spark of life within him. Air Raid, and the rest of the Aerialbots were nearly convinced to join the Decepticons upon their initial alliance with the Autobots. This was due to a fault in the Aerialbots’ programming, present due to a sudden drop in the mega-computer when they were being created. The Aerialbots were sent over by Optimus to help the Protectobots defend the [[Pullen Power Plant]] from the Decepticons. Happening upon Bruticus and Menasor teaming-up to take on Defensor, the Aerialbots combined into Superion to even the odds. Bruticus fell early in the battle, prompting the Aerialbots to separate and give chase to Starscream while Defensor took over the fight with Menasor. {{storylink|The Special Teams}}
{{-}}

===Ladybird Books continuity===
When an Autobot salvage expedition was unexpectedly ambushed by Decepticons, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] became concerned that the Cons had developed a new form of surveillance. Silverbolt suggested his men perform a full scan of the area for any spy installation. The Aerialbots were unable to locate any sites on the ground, but a ghost of a radar contact at high altitude caught their attention. Forming Superion, they flew as high as possible and confirmed that ''something'' was out there in the upper atmosphere. {{storylink|Galvatron's Air Attack}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
At some point in Cybertronian history, roughly around the time of the [[Dark Ages]], Air Raid and his Aerialbot comrades became a combiner subgroup, able to merge to form Superion. Because Superion and his fellow super-robots began causing too much sheer devastation during the war, however, the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]]s were signed by the various factions, prohibiting the use of super-robots. Combiner sub-group members could either join different factions separately (like [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]]) or remain together as a neutral, unaligned group (like the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]]). What Air Raid and the Aerialbots chose to do is unknown. {{storylink|Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|War Within: The Dark Ages}}

[[File:PrimeDirective6 AirRaid punches Starscream.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who's the best F-15?? ME!]]
At some point in the late 20th century, Air Raid and the Aerialbots joined the crew of the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' in defeating the Decepticons on Earth, only to be deactivated when the ''[[Ark II]]'' exploded in mid-air on its journey back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 1|Prime Directive #1}} In reality the ship was sabotaged by the rogue engineer-turned arms dealer Adam Rook, known as [[Lazarus]], and General [[Robert Hallo]], who planned on reprogramming the Transformers into the service of the United States military. The Aerialbots were some of the few Transformers who were not recovered by Lazarus for his reprogramming venture, now aimed at hiring out the Transformers to the highest bidder. Instead, they lay immobile in the Arctic waters until reactivated as Superion in 2002 by Optimus Prime, using the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 2|Prime Directive #2}}

Air Raid and the Aerialbots in their Superion form, battled the Decepticons in the Northwest Territories of [[Canada]] {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 3|Prime Directive #3}} and again in [[San Francisco]]. However, during the initial skirmish, Superion was broken down into his individual components by the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]], and the Autobots watched in horror as [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] hoisted Air Raid in his hand in triumph. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 4|Prime Directive #4}} The Autobots were then tied up with steel girders while Megatron tried to convince Optimus to join him, purporting that humans were too morally bankrupt to be worth his efforts. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 5|Prime Directive #5}} But thanks to the interference of some humans, the Autobots were freed and proceeded to clobber the Decepticons, with Air Raid punching [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. However, the insane General Hallo launched a nuclear missile at San Francisco in the hopes of wiping out all the Transformers. Before Optimus Prime could stop them, the Aerialbots formed Superion and intercepted the missile, ramming it head-on. Superion, and by extension the Aerialbots, were destroyed in stopping the missile. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6|Prime Directive #6}}

The remains of Air Raid and the other Aerialbots were gathered up and studied by [[Earth Defense Command]]. {{storylink|Generation 1 issue 0|Generation 1 issue #0}}

===''Transformers/G.I. Joe''===
The Aerialbots were awakened on the [[Fera Islands]] in [[1939]] and were reformatted as [[World War II]]-era fighter planes. After joining the battle against [[Cobra]] and the Decepticons, Air Raid and the others battled the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]], forcing them back. {{storylink|Trial by Fire}} When [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Roadblock (G.I. Joe)|Roadblock]] fell off a cliff, the Aerialbots combined into Superion and rescued them. {{storylink|Wolves}}

As Superion, they came under fire from [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], {{storylink|Trenches}} eventually succumbing to his firepower, and were destroyed. {{storylink|The Iron Fist}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[Megatron Origin issue 2|''Megatron Origin'' #2]]; [[Chaos Part Two: Numbers|''Transformers vol. 1'' #26]] (modern era)

Before the war, Air Raid was a fan of the underground gladiatorial games in which [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] participated. He was witness to Megatron killing [[Cy-Kill (G1)|Cy-Kill]], and cheered at the spectacle. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}}

Early in the war, the Aerialbots responded to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus]]' rallying call for additional support against the Decepticons and fought against the Seekers in the battle that followed. {{storylink|Broadcast}} Air Raid and the Aerialbots later buzzed [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] when that Spawn of [[Mortilus]] was reactivated on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|The Illusion of Control}}

Thousands of years later, Air Raid was among the Autobots poised to fight against [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]'s army on Cybertron. Led by [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]], he and the other Autobot fliers attacked [[Kimia Facility]] and fought with the many [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]] defending it. {{storylink|Chaos Part Two: Numbers|Numbers}}

[[File:StickTogether-Aerialbots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
After the war ended years later, Air Raid and his fellow Aerialbots worked crowd control on the Decepticons after [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] was murdered. He later followed Silverbolt's lead along with the rest of the Aerialbots in deserting Bumblebee's fledgling government. {{storylink|Stick Together}} Shortly after leaving [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] behind and traveling into the untamed wilderness Cybertron had become, the Aerialbots were the first to fall victim to Megatron's experiments with a [[combiner]] energy that influenced their minds and made them turn on each other. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} Air Raid eventually teamed up with the other Aerialbots and tried to do Silverbolt in, tracking him for three days. After Silverbolt finally succumbed to the influence of the signal, the team was forcibly merged into a single being: [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]! {{storylink|Night and the City}}

Superion soon fell in battle against a [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]]-controlled [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], leaving all the surviving Aerialbots comatose and on life support. {{storylink|Three Monologues}} They were eventually rebuilt and resuscitated through the efforts of [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] and the [[Enigma of Combination]]. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} As part of [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]'s political maneuvers, Air Raid and the new Aerialbots were deployed to [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]] to stop [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]; Superion was able to dispatch the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]] combiner. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} Following another clash with Devastator, Superion was briefly reduced to his components, although Starscream thought otherwise and forcibly reintegrated the Aerialbots back into Superion. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}}

Much to Optimus Prime's concern, Superion hadn't separated since the fight with Devastator; Prowl commented that for all intents and purposes Superion ''was'' the new default form for the Aerialbots. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}}

As Superion joined Optimus Prime's Autobots on Earth, he disassembled into his individual Aerialbot components from time to time. Air Raid and the Aerialbots performed a "bombing" run in the arid desert, releasing payloads that caused dramatic botanical growth where they fell, providing food to support the local humans. Air Raid and the Aerialbots then fled the air resistance they faced, reluctantly holding to Prime's orders to not engage any human counter-strikes. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 2: Edge of the Earth|Edge of the Earth}}

During a conflict with [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]], however, the ancient Decepticon manipulated the power of the Enigma of Combination through the Onyx Interface's source code, creating new combiners under his control and disrupting existing ones. As a natural-born combiner, uncreated by the Enigma, Superion had some immunity. He copied and isolated the Onyx code into his own core-processor then dismantled himself, neutralizing the Onyx code so long as the Aerialbots remained separated. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 5: As Above...So Below|As Above...So Below}} Air Raid and the other discombobulated Aerialbots were recovered from the site of the ocean battle {{storylink|White Light}} and returned to the newly-established [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Autobot City]] to recover. {{storylink|White Heat}}

Air Raid and the Aerialbots returned to Cybertron and took to the skies when [[Shockwave (G1)|Onyx Prime]] descended on their homeworld in his [[Nemesis (BWII)|personal vessel]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}}

When the Autobots learned that the Decepticons were planning to create a new batch of Decepticons, the Autobots responded by returning to Cybertron and building the Aerialbots. Both they and the Stunticons were brought to life at the same time before Vector Sigma, and Air Raid and the Aerialbots fought to defend the supercomputer from the Decepticons. Though it seemed that the Decepticons might win thanks to the power of Menasor, the Aerialbots managed to rout the Decepticons and chase them away. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1 (Legends)|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}} Air Raid and the rest of the Aerialbots clashed against the Stunticons once more on Earth, when the Decepticons attempted to use the power of the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] to transform the planet into a new Cybertron. He and his teammates merged into Superion, and they were ultimately victorious. {{storylink|Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

Air Raid and the other Aerialbots managed to drive [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]] into a retreat after this twisted creation of [[Doctor Arkeville]] was unleashed on the world. {{storylink|Nemesis Rising}} Air Raid was among the Autobots who fought the Decepticons after they joined forces with the Quintessons. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness: Part 2}}

**''Team ID number'': '''A5'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''C-54'''
**''Accessories'': "[[Torque rifle]]"

:Air Raid transforms from a black {{w|F-15 Eagle}}. He can combine with his fellow Aerialbots to form Superion, and as a [[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]-style limb toy, he can also combine with any Scramble City team leader, though his nominal position is as Superion's left leg.

:Air Raid, along with his teammates, were released in the 1990 European/Australian "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]" reissue series of Generation 1 toys.

:In Japan, the Aerialbots were also later all made available again as mail-away items during ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Return of Convoy (toyline)|Return of Convoy]]''. The smaller toys cost 1000 yen (120 more than their original retail price!) and 2 [[Robot Point|robot points]].

:The first ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Air Raid was a [[redeco]] of the original. His [[alternate mode|plane mode]] was primarily blue and featured stickers with a pattern reminiscent of the costume of a [[human]] [[Spider-Man|superhero]]. His [[robot mode]] was mostly white and silver.

*'''Air Raid''' (Cyberjet, [[1995]])
**''Accessories'': 2 air-to-air heat-seeking missiles

:Air Raid's second ''Generation 2'' appearance was released as part of [[wave]] 2 of the [[Cyberjet]]s assortment, a redeco of [[Skyjack (G2)|Skyjack]] from wave 1 of the same assortment, whose altenate mode is a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-117A Nighthawk]]. He features a pressure-launch missile launcher that becomes his right arm in robot mode. His non-loaded missiles can be stored in clips on the undersides of his wings.

:This toy was sold in Japan without changes (though it did come with an extra decal sheet) as the separate character [[Aero Raid]]. Apparently, the decision to market the redecos as separate characters was a last-minute change of plans that was only put into use in America and Japan; in Europe, Hasbro supposedly stuck to the original idea for said assortment (here named "Mini-Jets"), with the redecos being sold as [[variant#Running changes|running change color variants]] of their wave 1 mold-mates instead, in unchanged packaging featuring [[package art]] in the original deco and the original character's name. Thus, Skyjack was available in Air Raid's colors but still marketed as Skyjack himself. This practice is only confirmed for the versions available in multilingual French/Dutch/German packaging; thus far, no specimens in English/Spanish/Portuguese packaging or in Italian [[GiG]] packaging have surfaced.

:Furthermore, this sculpt was also used to make the 2004 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[#Universe (2003)|version of Air Raid]], and ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)#Toys|Robotmasters]]'' [[Delta Seeker]].

The lack of [[bio]]s for ''Universe'' characters leaves open the possibility that this is not the original Air Raid. Then again, there's nothing that says it ''isn't'', either.

:Released under the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' subline of the [[Transformers: Generations|''Generations'']] toyline, Air Raid is a major [[retool]] of [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]] from the same assortment (keeping only the thighs, fronts of the lower legs, middles of the arms, combiner connector, and gun from the original mold), with the alternate mode changed to a black F-14 Tomcat fighter jet, whereas the robot mode homages his original form. He is also able to form either an arm or leg on any Voyager Class toys from the ''Combiner Wars'' or ''Unite Warriors'' lines or form one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber's]] legs, but is intended to be combined with the other Deluxe Class Aerialbots ([[Alpha Bravo#Generations|Alpha Bravo]], [[Fireflight (G1)#Generations|Firefly]], and the aforementioned Skydive) and the Voyager Class [[Silverbolt (G1)#Generations|Silverbolt]] to form [[Superion (G1)#Generations|Superion]].

:The hand-painted [[prototype]]s on display at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014, as well as the prototype used for early [[stock photography|stock photos]] of Superion, featured some minor coloring differences with the final product. Notably, Air Raid's upper arms were originally colored silver. However, the hand-painted prototype used for stock photos of Air Raid himself is closer to the final product.

:Air Raid comes with a copy of "Combiner Wars #7" (actually ''[[Plan for Everything|Robots in Disguise #15]]''). Non-American releases instead come with a collector card featuring art from the "[[Nemesis Rising]]" episode of ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]''.

:Air Raid was retooled into ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' [[Thrust (Armada)#Unite Warriors|Curse Armada Thrust]].

It was still available at general retail in Hasbro's Asian markets, though.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2019-07-06T14:38:07Z

Engledogg: /* 1990 */

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same '''''The Transformers''''' toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with the occasional noticeable [[variant]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|language variations]] on the [[packaging]]), but over time, they were either bought out by Hasbro or simply dropped in favor of a more and more unified European market.

After [[The Transformers (toyline)|the original ''The Transformers'' toyline]] ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994.
{{picsneeded|European-release toys in-package, GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (complete with advertisements touting that the toys were "In the shops now!") it seems likely that they were on-sale by mid-summer at the latest, only a few months after the line's US launch.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{note|Cliffjumper and Bumblebee were both available in red and yellow in 1984, and again in 1985, this time with rubsigns. Cliffjumper appears in yellow in the 1984 catalogue, but this was corrected for the following year's photos.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' and ''[[Microman]]'' toys domestically prior to that (''[[Trasformer]]'' by [[GiG]] in Italy; ''Diaclone'' by [[Joustra]] in France, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

<big>'''United Kingdom'''</big>

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. They were joined by the figures that had initially been omitted, namely the remaining Autobot cars and Megatron, who was reported by Hasbro to be available from around Easter. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release (see "1992" below). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

<big>'''Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain'''</big>

The earliest toys released in continental Europe (minus Italy) were distributed by [[Milton Bradley]], which was in the process of being taken over by Hasbro at that point. There's no solid evidence that all the MB toys were available in all these countries, but the packaging is sporting German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Toys|Optimus Prime]]. As a consequence, [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

<big>'''Italy'''</big>

[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's Transformers versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and launched their own version of the ''Transformers'' line, with the toys often sporting original Italian names (for example, the Autobots became "Autorobots", and the Decepticons "Distructors").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
<big>'''UK, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain'''</big>

Presumably, ''Transformers'' didn't sell well in Germany in 1985, as German was dropped as a language from the packaging until ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)| Generation 2]]''. Instead, Hasbro (who had finished taking over MB) consolidated the UK market with the rest of Europe (except for Italy, again). The 1986 releases that were now available in packaging with "Hasbro" rather than "MB" logos sported the four languages English, French, Dutch and Spanish (the order between English and French could occasionally be swapped).

Confirmed European Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

<big>'''Italy'''</big>

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. This only applied to the combiner limbs, though; the leaders/torsos came in boxes based on the Hasbro versions, including "A5", "P5", "S5" and "D5" numbers.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

<big>'''Greece'''</big>

[[El Greco]] released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market. The Autobots were called Αυτορομπότ (Autorobots). The only known El Greco releases include seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles (which all have minor coloration differences) and two combiner giftsets. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
<big>'''UK, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium'''</big>

Apparently realizing that tech specs in four different languages aren't exactly the optimal choice, Hasbro started breaking up the languages again. The UK got toys in English-only packaging, whereas France, Belgium, and the Netherlands got toys in bilingual French/Dutch packaging. Germany only got the English versions with safety warning stickers in German. Presumably, all toys were available in all language variants, but without solid evidence, this is pure speculation.

<big>'''Italy'''</big>

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
<big>'''UK, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium'''</big>

Toys were still available in English-only and French/Dutch packaging. The UK toys started sporting a yellow "Original HASBRO Transformers" sticker on their packaging, possibly as a reaction to the sudden flood of Mexican toys (although those didn't come out in Europe until late 1988/early 1989). This sticker is also the only way to tell a European toy in English packaging apart from its US counterpart, as the packaging itself appears to be identical. 1988 toys were available in Germany in English-only packaging including the "Original HASBRO Transformers" sticker, with additional safety warning stickers in German.

Known European toys from 1988 are (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

==1989==
<big>'''UK, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain'''</big>

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. Spain started getting toys in Spanish-only packaging (which are not to be confused with the unofficially imported Mexican toys by [[IGA]]). The smaller Pretenders, the Classic Pretenders, the Micromaster Stations and the Micromaster Transports were once again available in Germany in English packaging.

Confirmed releases include:

<big>'''Unofficial Mexican imports'''</big>

In addition to the regular toys released by Hasbro and GiG, [http://www.tfarchive.com/toys/articles/mexican_invasion.php Europe was also hit by a flood of Transformers toys imported from Mexico]. While these toys had been officially produced by [[IGA]] with the intention to release them on the Mexican market, a large unsold stock remained that was eventually exported to Europe without Hasbro's involvement. The toys were available in the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, Romania, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. This created a strange situation where unofficially imported (but officially produced) toys competed with official European releases. These toys are considered official for Mexico but unofficial for Europe.

==1990==
By 1990, Hasbro had mostly streamlined their European markets. Presumably, all toys that came out in one country were also available everywhere else. Even the Italian releases now sported a uniform look with the toys that were available elsewhere in Europe (even though they still sported a "[[GiG]]" logo and Italian names), with one exception. Also, with Hasbro cancelling the ''Transformers'' line in the USA for the time being, the European Hasbro branches continued releasing new toys which the USA would never get. By this time, [[Australia]] also was receiving releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s in English-only packaging. Also, GiG gave at least some of the Action Masters toys that were based on older characters the original Italian names again.

Confirmed releases include:

<big>'''"Classics" (Europe & Australasia)'''</big>

Possibly taking a cue from the popularity of the Classic Pretenders, Hasbro started re-releasing original toys from 1984-1987 in "gold" packaging based on the Classic Pretenders' boxes, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that. It's also possible "Classics" was a response to the unofficially-imported Mexican toys that flooded European and Australasian shelves with classic characters at the time, and therefore had never intended to be released in the US.

==1991==
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Those included numerous Action Masters, more "Classic" re-releases of older toys, and even toys that were originally only available in Japan, slightly redecoed for the European market. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

Again, Classics toys were available in English packaging in Germany. However, the Classic Combaticons might have not been available in Germany, due to the unpopular "war" theme. Also, again, the Italian and Spanish Classics don't say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging, unlike the English and French/Dutch versions. The rubsign indents on the Classic Protectobots, Combaticons, Throttlebots, and Triple Changers Springer and Octane, were filled in. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

==1992==
[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Predator Stalker (with Snare attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

In terms of languages, English and Spanish were now merged into bilingual English/Spanish packaging for the British, Spanish, Australian, and New Zealand markets, whereas France, Belgium, and the Netherlands still got toys in bilingual French/Dutch packaging, but now with alternate (English) names as well, and Italy still got toys in Italian-only packaging from GiG.

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys with a variety of gimmicks... though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (Rumor has it that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

Confirmed releases include:

The Transformers (European toyline)

2019-07-06T14:37:07Z

Engledogg: /* 1990 */

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same '''''The Transformers''''' toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with the occasional noticeable [[variant]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|language variations]] on the [[packaging]]), but over time, they were either bought out by Hasbro or simply dropped in favor of a more and more unified European market.

After [[The Transformers (toyline)|the original ''The Transformers'' toyline]] ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994.
{{picsneeded|European-release toys in-package, GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (complete with advertisements touting that the toys were "In the shops now!") it seems likely that they were on-sale by mid-summer at the latest, only a few months after the line's US launch.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' and ''[[Microman]]'' toys domestically prior to that (''[[Trasformer]]'' by [[GiG]] in Italy; ''Diaclone'' by [[Joustra]] in France, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

<big>'''United Kingdom'''</big>

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. They were joined by the figures that had initially been omitted, namely the remaining Autobot cars and Megatron, who was reported by Hasbro to be available from around Easter. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release (see "1992" below). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

<big>'''Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain'''</big>

The earliest toys released in continental Europe (minus Italy) were distributed by [[Milton Bradley]], which was in the process of being taken over by Hasbro at that point. There's no solid evidence that all the MB toys were available in all these countries, but the packaging is sporting German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Toys|Optimus Prime]]. As a consequence, [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

<big>'''Italy'''</big>

[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's Transformers versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and launched their own version of the ''Transformers'' line, with the toys often sporting original Italian names (for example, the Autobots became "Autorobots", and the Decepticons "Distructors").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
<big>'''UK, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain'''</big>

Presumably, ''Transformers'' didn't sell well in Germany in 1985, as German was dropped as a language from the packaging until ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)| Generation 2]]''. Instead, Hasbro (who had finished taking over MB) consolidated the UK market with the rest of Europe (except for Italy, again). The 1986 releases that were now available in packaging with "Hasbro" rather than "MB" logos sported the four languages English, French, Dutch and Spanish (the order between English and French could occasionally be swapped).

Confirmed European Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

<big>'''Italy'''</big>

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. This only applied to the combiner limbs, though; the leaders/torsos came in boxes based on the Hasbro versions, including "A5", "P5", "S5" and "D5" numbers.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

<big>'''Greece'''</big>

[[El Greco]] released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market. The Autobots were called Αυτορομπότ (Autorobots). The only known El Greco releases include seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles (which all have minor coloration differences) and two combiner giftsets. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
<big>'''UK, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium'''</big>

Apparently realizing that tech specs in four different languages aren't exactly the optimal choice, Hasbro started breaking up the languages again. The UK got toys in English-only packaging, whereas France, Belgium, and the Netherlands got toys in bilingual French/Dutch packaging. Germany only got the English versions with safety warning stickers in German. Presumably, all toys were available in all language variants, but without solid evidence, this is pure speculation.

<big>'''Italy'''</big>

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
<big>'''UK, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium'''</big>

Toys were still available in English-only and French/Dutch packaging. The UK toys started sporting a yellow "Original HASBRO Transformers" sticker on their packaging, possibly as a reaction to the sudden flood of Mexican toys (although those didn't come out in Europe until late 1988/early 1989). This sticker is also the only way to tell a European toy in English packaging apart from its US counterpart, as the packaging itself appears to be identical. 1988 toys were available in Germany in English-only packaging including the "Original HASBRO Transformers" sticker, with additional safety warning stickers in German.

Known European toys from 1988 are (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

==1989==
<big>'''UK, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain'''</big>

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. Spain started getting toys in Spanish-only packaging (which are not to be confused with the unofficially imported Mexican toys by [[IGA]]). The smaller Pretenders, the Classic Pretenders, the Micromaster Stations and the Micromaster Transports were once again available in Germany in English packaging.

Confirmed releases include:

<big>'''Unofficial Mexican imports'''</big>

In addition to the regular toys released by Hasbro and GiG, [http://www.tfarchive.com/toys/articles/mexican_invasion.php Europe was also hit by a flood of Transformers toys imported from Mexico]. While these toys had been officially produced by [[IGA]] with the intention to release them on the Mexican market, a large unsold stock remained that was eventually exported to Europe without Hasbro's involvement. The toys were available in the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, Romania, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. This created a strange situation where unofficially imported (but officially produced) toys competed with official European releases. These toys are considered official for Mexico but unofficial for Europe.

==1990==
By 1990, Hasbro had mostly streamlined their European markets. Presumably, all toys that came out in one country were also available everywhere else. Even the Italian releases now sported a uniform look with the toys that were available elsewhere in Europe (even though they still sported a "[[GiG]]" logo and Italian names), with one exception. Also, with Hasbro cancelling the ''Transformers'' line in the USA for the time being, the European Hasbro branches continued releasing new toys which the USA would never get. By this time, [[Australia]] also was receiving releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s in English-only packaging. Also, GiG gave at least some of the Action Masters toys that were based on older characters the original Italian names again.

Confirmed releases include:

<big>'''"Classics" (Europe & Australasia)'''</big>

Possibly taking a cue from the popularity of the Classic Pretenders, Hasbro started re-releasing original toys from 1984-1987 in "gold" packaging based on the Classic Pretenders' boxes, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that. It's also possible "Classics" was a response to the unofficially-imported Mexican toys that flooded European and Australasian shelves with classic characters at the time, and therefore had never intended to be released in the US.

==1991==
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Those included numerous Action Masters, more "Classic" re-releases of older toys, and even toys that were originally only available in Japan, slightly redecoed for the European market. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

Again, Classics toys were available in English packaging in Germany. However, the Classic Combaticons might have not been available in Germany, due to the unpopular "war" theme. Also, again, the Italian and Spanish Classics don't say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging, unlike the English and French/Dutch versions. The rubsign indents on the Classic Protectobots, Combaticons, Throttlebots, and Triple Changers Springer and Octane, were filled in. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

==1992==
[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Predator Stalker (with Snare attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

In terms of languages, English and Spanish were now merged into bilingual English/Spanish packaging for the British, Spanish, Australian, and New Zealand markets, whereas France, Belgium, and the Netherlands still got toys in bilingual French/Dutch packaging, but now with alternate (English) names as well, and Italy still got toys in Italian-only packaging from GiG.

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys with a variety of gimmicks... though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (Rumor has it that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)

2017-12-27T23:48:46Z

Engledogg: /* Exclusives */

{{Nav-RescueBots}}
The ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]'' toyline is released under [[Hasbro]]'s [[Playskool Heroes]] brand, the latest of many ''Transformers'' lines to be aimed at the preschool demographic.

Beginning in late [[2011]], the ''Rescue Bots'' toyline's initial offerings are noticeably divergent from [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|the cartoon]] that they inspired, featuring different robot stylings and a mostly different human cast. By year two (the line's ''Energize'' refresh), the line began to line up more stylistically with the cartoon, eventually adding toys based directly on in-show characters.

==Standard retail toys==
===Rescue Bots===
The Rescue Bots assortment consists of [[autotransformation|autotransforming]] figures, which can hold Rescue Gear in robot mode. These figures are larger than the later "mainline" toys. For the ''Energize'' [[subline imprint]], the original toys were partially [[redeco]]ed in clear blue plastic, and [[retool]]ed to include new rescue tools and additional [[5mm post|5mm ports]] to hold them in vehicle mode.

===Rescan Series===
Premiering in 2014, "Rescan" toys are the smaller successors to the Rescue Bot assortment, featuring brand-new molds of previous characters, some with new [[alternate mode]]s. This would become the main "scale" for the series going forward, including new characters.

===Beam Box Game System===
The [[Beam Box]] Game System is a basic video games console, inspired by the popular ''{{w|Skylanders}}'' model. The player places a static ''Rescue Bots'' figure into the eponymous "Box" and pushes a button, "transporting" the character into the video game. The "Expandable Starter Pack" includes the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#BeamBox|Optimus Prime]] figure.

===''Mixable, Mashable Heroes!''===
Branded as ''Rescue Bots'', presumably due to the ''Playskool'' connection, this line of ''Transformers''-themed ''{{w|Mr. Potato Head}}'' toys is entirely unrelated to the rest of the line. Lotsa figures of Mr. Potato Head in different scales, dressing up as... [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] characters, with ''Rescue Bots'' characters finally getting into the mix late into the line (and barely hitting Us retail).

Kre-O

2017-12-27T02:52:27Z

Engledogg: /* 2015~2017 ("Budget store" releases) */

{{Nav-kreo}}
[[File:Kre-O-Bumblebeeandothers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.7|Car me now!]]
'''Kre-O''' is [[Hasbro]]'s second foray into the world of brick-based construction toy sets, several years after the ignoble effort that was ''[[Built to Rule]]''.

Unveiled at [[Toy Fair 2011]], ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits (generally) center around a ''Transformers'' character that can be taken apart and reassembled into a vehicle. Mini-figures called [[Kreon]]s are also included in the larger kits, and these mini-figures are a mix of ''Transformers'' characters and human drivers (mostly nameless generics). Prices range from $7.99 to $59.99, plus individually-bagged Kreon figures at $2.99.

The line launched in the US on [[June 6]]th, [[2011]]. Since then, ''Kre-O'' has expanded into a [[multi-property brand]], with sets based on other Hasbro franchises including ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'', ''Battleship'', and ''Dungeons & Dragons'', as well as the licensed properties ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''Cityville Invasion''.

In [[2013]], [[TakaraTomy]] brought the line to [[Japan]], primarily the second-year ''Transformers'' sets.

Currently, the line is in a sort-of limbo in ''most'' of Hasbro's markets. The [[2015]] series mostly shipped only to [[Canada]] and Asian markets, with US releases relegated to closeout stores, and several items not being released at all. As of [[2016]], most "new" ''Kre-O'' product in the US was made up of mostly re-released and repackaged kits sold through discount chains like Dollar General, and some all-new kits based on the [[DreamWorks]] ''Trolls'' movie. In [[China]], the line continues under the ''Armor Hero Captor'' brand, a live-action ''tokusatsu'' TV series similar to the ''Kamen Rider'' series.

It's not that thing that begins with an L! But it sure works with that thing that begins with an L. L employees are asked to please not view this webpage.

==Building sets==
===2011===
The first series saw widespread brick-and-mortar distribution in the US. The main focus of the sets were large robot/vehicle builds with a ''lot'' of parts. Really a lot. Limbs were many times thick masses of panel-parts laid over each other, and many sets had extremely limited posability, with simple swivel elbows & knees. Robot designs were varying degrees of [[live-action film series]]/[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] mashups.

The robot Kreons? ''VERY'' G1-inspired. And regrettably, with a fair number of tolerance issues.

===2012 (''Quest for Energon'')===
The second-year ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets mark a definite change in style. Dubbed "Quest for Energon", each set contains several "energon" pieces; at least one [[Skeletron|clear-plastic Kreon torso]] (blue for Autobots, purple for Decepticons), and several clear-purple "[[Dark Energon]]" parts to assemble a giant "[[ultimate Dark Energon weapon]]". The robot/vehicle builds in this year's sets are generally smaller, simpler, and less reliant on the "massive stack of flat plates" construction style common in the first year, relying a lot more on large ball-and-socket-jointed bricks to build limbs and bodies around.

There was a heavier focus on the Kreons overall, with mini-playsets, mini-vehicles and a pair of [[army-building|army builder]] sets. The robot Kreons are more often based on their [[Aligned continuity family]] incarnations than Generation 1. Human Kreons had new arm-pieces with rounded-off shoulders, rather than the blocky shoulders of all first-year Kreons.

This series also suffered a distribution issue in the US. [[Walmart]] stopped carrying ''Kre-O'' after its first year (with one tiny exception), and only [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] appeared to carry the entire second-year assortment; the "Rotor Rage" and "Destruction Site Devastator" sets in particular didn't seem to show up at certain retailers.

Most of these sets were also made available in Japan as part of the initial ''Kre-O'' roll-out by [[TakaraTomy]].

===2013 (''Beast Hunters'')===
Bringing the series in-line with the then-current ''[[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' branding of ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'', the focus of this years' sets were buildable beasts. Every kit came with one, though one set had a ''huge'' buildable beast with an alternate robot build. None of the other beasts have official robot builds, but hey, try making your own! Interestingly, the human Kreons were based on specific ''Transformers'' human characters from prior series rather than the prior two years' nameless generics... much to the bafflement of the [[fandom]], who wanted them to be doing that from the get-go.

This series was even ''more'' limited in its US distribution, seemingly available only at ToysЯUs and Meijer, though some sets eventually filtered out into discount stores.

===2014 (''Age of Extinction'')===
Tying in with that [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|big new movie in 2014]], the 2014 ''Kre-O'' line-up features dinosaurs aplenty. Many sets also feature "Dino Force Technology", which are pieces that include magnets in them so claws and dino-maws can snatch up Kreons wearing ferrous-metal backpacks or helmets. Each set also comes with a red 2x4 Kre-O brick.

Notably, this line also marks the complete abandonment of the 'rebuild to transform' [[play pattern]], in favor of the playset approach more typical of construction brick toys. As part of this change, human Kreons now use the small body style that debuted in the ''Kre-O {{w|CityVille}} Invasion'' line, to indicate a [[scale]] difference between them and the normal-sized Transformer Kreons.

By this point, ''Kre-O'' in its entirety became officially a [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] [[exclusive]] toyline.

===2015 (''Robots In Disguise''/Generation 1)===
2015's ''Kro-O'' product was largely split between sets based on the new [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|''Robots in Disguise'' series]], and Kreon-focused Generation 1-based product. Unfortunately, this is also the year that ''Kre-O'' all but vanished from US store shelves, relegated to Canada and Hasbro Asia markets. Even ToysЯUs dropped the line, and it wasn't until the latter half of the year when various sets began to filter into the US through discount chains like TJ Maxx and Marshalls, though some older sets got a second life through "dollar" stores (see below).

This was accompanied by a change in Kreon construction, including new hands designed with a raised "upper" part so they can act as pegs (aka "just like mini-figures from that L-company"), and a new inner post in the torso that slides into the waistpiece's now-hollow spine-post, allowing for a sturdier grip, needed for the much larger Kreon builds of most of the Generation-1-based sets. The 2x4 logo blocks were also dropped, replaced by a 3x4 flat plate with an unpainted Kre-O logo, but included only in the blindbagged toys.

;''Robots in Disguise''
:This series is based heavily on "vehicle" play, with non-transforming rigs loosely based on their pilots' alternate modes, though each one does have some sort of "action feature".

;Battle Changers
:After four years, the line ''finally'' releases buildable Transformers figures that transform "traditionally" rather than needing to be taken apart and rebuilt. How successful they are at this... varies. The figures are mostly based on their "Generation 1" forms, with some concessions to more modern media.

;Kreon Warriors
:Replacing Micro-Changers (see below) as the ''Kre-O'' line's blind-bagged assortment, Kreon Warriors features popular characters reimagined as historical warriors. Unlike their predecessors, the Kreon Warriors do not have vehicle modes. Their G1-y-ness is variable, with some versions owing a bit more to their ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]]'' or [[Live-action film series|live-action film series]] iterations in the facial feature department.

===2015~2017 ("Budget store" releases)===
Starting in mid-2015, numerous ''Kre-O Transformers'' sets were repackaged (sometimes combining multiple smaller sets) in a new red-box style, sold only at Dollar General stores in the US, for considerably lower than the original sets went for. Curiously, the packaging and instructions omit any reference to the large robot builds... yet the extra parts for the robot builds are still in the box, and the "robot only" parts are still in the parts checklist in the back. ''Why'' they did this is a mystery. These sets continued to come out in following years, and were joined by choice repackagings of ''Cityville Invasion'', ''Dungeons & Dragons'', and eventually ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' sets, shipped all together (but we won't list those because of The Reason).

Meanwhile, five '''Brick Box''' sets saw wider release at Dollar General, Family Dollar, Big Lots and Ollies stores. These $5 cubes come with two bags of bricks and at least one Kreon. The first two sets released are simple repackagings of prior smaller kits. While these releases come with all of the Kreons and parts of the original releases, there are no instructions, apparently an attempt to pass the set off as a "build what you want" deal. Three more sets were released later, only with a single all-new 2015-style Kreon and two bags of parts per box. The larger bags of parts all come from previous older sets. The second bag in each is a seemingly random collection of parts in the same color palette as the other bag. And no instructions. Weird!

In addition to all this, Collections 1 through 3 of the blind-bagged [[Micro-Changer]]s were re-released, at first primarily through Dollar General, but by 2017 expanding into Walgreens as well. These are ''new'' versions of the toys, re-made with 2015-style Kreon bodies, altered tampographs, some plastic color changes, a handful of parts changes... and no individual-identifying codes on the bags, so hope you're good at the "feel through the bag" method. (See below for links to the individual Micro-Changers in those assortments.) Bizarrely, in addition to keeping the flak jackets for the collection 1 re-release, the pack previews show the new tampographs *on* the flack jackets, a change that apparently did not make it through to production.
{{-}}

==Micro-Changers==
Introduced in 2012, the [[Micro-Changer]]s sub-line adds a new element to Kreon figures; extra parts allow each figure to "transform" into a vehicle or beast (or whatever).

{{note|For more extensive information on this series, see '''[[Micro-Changer]]'''.}}

===Blind-bagged figures===
This portion of the line features individual [[blindpacking|blind-packaged]] Kreons. During the initial run, code numbers printed on each bag allowed you to know which figure is inside... or at least avoid buying two of the same by accident. For all Collections, only the last two numbers are important for identification, so those are the only ones we're showing. The final assortment and the re-releases of prior sets lack ID numbers, so good luck feeling out parts through the bag!

Collections 1 through 3 have been re-made with the 2015-style Kreon bodies and re-released through Dollar General and Walgreens stores in the US.

===Micro-Changers Combiners===
Four Kreons per pack combine into one larger robot. Each set also comes with a single red stand-block, and extra limb pieces. Just in case. As most of the original teams these sets are based on have five or six members, the "lost" members saw release through the blind-bagged series.

==Custom Kreons==
First released at the back-end of 2013, the individually-carded [[Custom Kreon]]s include a number of extra body parts and accessories, many [[vacuum metallizing|chromed]] or translucent. They also come with a customizable "rack" to store their unused parts. Returning characters typically have altered and more extensive [[tampograph]]s across most of their opaque parts.

==Media==
===Videos===
{{main|Kre-O Transformers (cartoon)}}
A series of videos have been released on Hasbro's ''Kre-O'' website and on YouTube, featuring the wacky antics of the Kre-O Transformers and their Kreons.

===Games===
{{main|Online game#Kre-O}}

===Books===
*''[[Awesome Autobots Activity Book]]''—actually mainly a ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' book, but it has four Kre-O bonus pages and is [[co-branding|co-branded]] on the cover, as well as coming with a free Matrix Optimus Prime Kreon.
*''[[Transformers: Kre-O Character Encyclopedia]]''

===Online comics===
{{main|Kre-O Transformers (comic)}}
Short tongue-in-cheek gag strips drawn and written by [[Hayato Sakamoto]] and [[Makoto Wakabayashi]] for [[TakaraTomy]]'s Kre-O site.

==Notes==
*Kre-O bricks were manufactured by Korean toy company [http://www.oxfordtoy.co.kr/ Oxford],<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/415032-transformers-kre-o-thoughts-19.html#post6288246 Transformers Kre-O - Thoughts? on TFW2005]</ref>, who had been making not-L sets for a while, up through 2014. However, it is very much a lot of new part design work, especially the far more involved construction of the [[Kreon]]s; Oxford's pre-''Kre-O'' mini-figures were basically straight-up L Minifigure construction. The 2015 ''Kre-O'' product seems to have been produced by Hasbro proper, which would explain a lot of the changes to the product for that year, including the almost completely altered Kreons.
*Kreon [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] was among the upcoming items revealed at [[BotCon 2011]]... and was only announced to be released in late 2013, and wasn't released until midway through 2014. Amusingly, his helmet has become one of the most ubiquitous among the Kreons thanks to its very generic styling.
*Small images of a ''Kre-O Transformers'' set featuring a big mechanical scorpion and another set featuring a buildable [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] were shown at [[Toy Fair 2012]] during the slide presentation, as part of the demonstration of the "build a big energon weapon from parts of the different sets" concept. Neither were present in the showroom or mentioned in the press materials. This same slide was shown during a presentation at [[BotCon 2012]], again with no explicit mention of the mechanical scorpion or Soundwave.
*While the Kre-O bricks and such are compatible with L bricks, take care with mixing Kreon and Minifigure parts, particularly helmets. Full-coverage Kreon helmets like Optimus Prime's and Soundwave's are a bit tight, and getting a L Minifigure head out of them is exceedingly difficult. They'll pop off the neck before the helmet relinquishes the head. Open-face helmets like Starscream's, where you can get a "grip" on the head with the pad of your finger, should be fine. Just be a bit careful you don't scrape face-paint off.
*The L company has since released sets that are explicitly marketed as being able to assemble as robots and various vehicles and aircraft, very similar to the ''Transformers'' Kre-O concept.
*Several ''Kre-O'' bricks are reuses of Hasbro's long defunct ''Built to Rule'' interlocking brick system. Most Kre-O bricks, that is parts not designed specifically for Kreons, with detailed moulded surfaces (especially where the L counterpart has a smooth surface) are Built to Rule parts.

'''Twitcher F451''' is a bastard. After a few minutes of observation, he can formulate a target's complete psychological profile, including all of their weaknesses, hang-ups, and frailties. He then exploits all of those weaknesses to the best of his abilities, an act in which he takes immense pleasure. He likes it so much that he "practices" on his fellow Decepticons, ensuring that even his teammates treat him like [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]].

Power Core Combiners

2011-12-18T02:39:27Z

Engledogg: /* Exclusive value packs */

{{disambig2|the real-world toyline|the in-fiction technology|Power Core Combination}}

[[Image:PCCLogo.jpg|center]]

'''Power Core Combiners''' is a toyline, released concurrently with the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] and ''[[Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toylines.

The design of the toys relies heavily on the titular [[gimmick]], [[Combiner|combination]]. Every main character is a "[[Commander (PCC)|Commander]]" sold with either a [[Mini-Con]] (which connects in several configurations) or a set of four [[drone]] vehicles (which connect as limbs to form a larger robot). The Mini-Cons and drones can be attached to any Commander, leading to ''millions'' of possible combinations between all of the figures.

Unlike the Mini-Cons of [[Unicron Trilogy|previous]] [[Classics (2006)|lines]], the Power Core Combiner Mini-Cons lack their own independent vehicle or animal modes. Rather, they turn from robots into accessories for their Commanders. In vehicle mode, a Commander can use a Mini-Con as a weapon or tool. In robot mode, a Commander can wield a Mini-Con as a hand-held weapon or wear him as armor.

The drones are similar to ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]'s "[[Prime Force]]", being vehicles with no robot modes. While the drones are left/right interchangeable, an arm-drone cannot become a leg-drone (or vice versa) making them more limited than the Prime Force drones. However, the fact that there are several teams of drones who can be swapped among Commanders adds a [[Special Teams|Scramble-City-esque]] dimension of play. Also, people who love [[Transformer]]s but hate transforming can breathe easy in the knowledge that the drones [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] into and out of limb mode simply by being plugged into and removed from a Commander.

Fictionally, the Power Core Combiners are not strictly connected to any other [[continuity]],<ref name=continuityqa>"...they basically exist on their own." [http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=27064 October Hasbro Transformers Q&A Answers for Cybertron.ca]</ref> although Smolder and Chopster have made an appearance in the [[Movie continuity]] via ''[[Cyber Missions]]'', and Bombshock via ''[[Transformers Classified|the Classified]]'' novels.

==Fiction==
The toys' packaging presents a simple storyline about [[Power Core Combination]] technology being found on [[Earth]]. A more robust account was published in the [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 32|Collectors' Club magazine #32]]. As of yet, there has been no narrative fiction, only summaries and [[bio]]s.

===Place in continuity===
As for which larger continuity family (if any) this fits into, clues are scant and contradictory. The strongest evidence appears to suggest the [[live-action film series]]:
* The storyline blurb on the packaging references "monsters like [[Devastator (disambiguation)|Devastator]]" in terms that best match the [[Devastator (ROTF)|live-action version.]]
* [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]]'s bio is fairly explicit that he is his movie counterpart, even referencing his origin as an [[AllSpark Mutation]].
* [[Smolder]] has made an appearance in [[Cyber Missions 9|movie-related fiction]].
* [[Icepick (PCC)|Icepick]] received a new toy in the ''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' toyline.
* [[Bombshock (PCC)|Bombshock]] appears in ''[[Transformers Classified: Switching Gears]]'' novel.

However, other elements seem to hint towards [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]:
* [[Huffer (PCC)|Huffer]]'s bio says that he's "just as inclined to grumble as he's ever been,"<ref name=hufferbio>Huffer's on-package bio</ref> implying that he is a preexisting, familiar character. There are only [[Huffer (disambiguation)|a few Huffers]], and this points pretty clearly to [[Huffer (G1)|the original]].
* While less explicit, several characters have bios that are too similar to same-named characters in the [[Generation 1 continuity family]] to be a coincidence. [[Leadfoot (PCC)|Leadfoot]] is good at [[Leadfoot (G2)|infiltrating Decepticon bases]], [[Sledge (PCC)|Sledge]] is [[Sledge (G1)|noted for his loyalty and love of destruction]], [[Icepick (PCC)|Icepick]] wants to [[Icepick (G1)|scrap the obsolete]], and [[Stakeout (PCC)|Stakeout]] is [[Stakeout (G1)|a former ''loose cannon cop on the edge'' who has since mellowed out]]. Compare this to what [[Sea Spray]] got.

[[Hasbro]]'s official stance on the matter is that ''Power Core Combiners'' are not tied to any particular continuity family.<ref name=continuityqa /> This is in keeping with the company's recent apparent reluctance to tie its toylines to specific universes, and can be interpreted as "both," "neither," or not actually even an answer. Any conclusions are [[Personal canon|up to the reader to make.]]

==Toys==
===Power Core Combiners===
====Commander 2-packs====
[[Image:PCC-toy Smolder.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Smolder...]]
[[Image:PCC-toy Chopster.jpg|right|thumb|300px|... and his pack-in partner Chopster.]]

Each 2-pack contains a roughly-Scout-class-sized Commander figure as well as a partner Mini-Con.

Commanders transform from a robot to vehicle mode, as well as a "power up" torso-mode that can be combined with any of the drone sets from the 5-packs (see below). Commanders also have standard Mini-Con [[Powerlinx]] plugs, so they are compatible with ''any'' Mini-Cons, not just their pack-in partners.

Mini-Cons have multiple configurations to enhance their larger partners. Each one transforms from a robot to "armor" that any Commander can use (though with limited usefulness on the 5-pack Commander molds due to placement of their Powerlinx plugs). They also have weapon modes; most have separate configurations for Commanders' robot and alternate modes, though a few only really have one that works on both.

'''Wave 1'''
* [[Huffer (PCC)|Huffer]] (semi cab) and [[Caliburst (PCC)|Caliburst]] (anti-aircraft cannon/rifle)
* [[Searchlight (PCC)|Searchlight]] (rescue helicopter) and [[Backwind]] (winch/rifle)
* [[Smolder]] (fire department brush truck) and [[Chopster]] (flamethrower/axe)

'''Wave 2'''
* [[Icepick (PCC)|Icepick]] (arctic vehicle) and [[Chainclaw (PCC)|Chainclaw]] (missile launcher)
* [[Leadfoot (PCC)|Leadfoot]] (F1 racer) and [[Pinpoint]] (engine-cannon/rifle)
* [[Sledge (PCC)|Sledge]] (rockwheel trencher construction vehicle) and [[Throttler]] (drill)

'''Wave 3'''
* [[Windburn]] (rescue helicopter) and [[Darkray]] (anti-aircraft cannon/rifle)
* [[Darkstream]] (stealth jet) and [[Razorbeam]] (cannon/axe)
* [[Steelshot]] (cannon truck) and [[Beacon (PCC)|Beacon]] (winch/rifle)

'''Wave 4'''
* [[Heavytread (PCC)|Heavytread]] (tank) and [[Groundspike]] (mine plow/claw)
* [[Skyhammer (PCC)|Skyhammer]] (fighter jet) and [[Airlift (PCC)|Airlift]] (gun emplacement)

'''Wave 5'''
* [[Undertow (PCC)|Undertow]] (speedboat) and [[Waterlog (PCC)|Waterlog]] (gun emplacement)
* [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] (monster truck) and [[Bomb-Burst (PCC)|Bomb-Burst]] (missile launcher)
{{-}}

====5-packs====
[[Image:PCC-toy Bombshock.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Bombshock...]]
[[Image:PCC-toy Combaticons.jpg|right|thumb|300px|...and his Combaticons.]]

Each 5-pack contains a Commander and four drone-units.

Unlike the Commanders designed for the 2-packs, most (if not all) of the Commanders designed originally for the 5-packs do not have Powerlinx hardpoints that normally function for the 2-pack Mini-Cons' armor modes while in their standard Commander robot modes. However, these Commanders' power up modes allow for the proper placement of their Powerlix hardpoints.

The drones each [[Automorph Technology|automatically transform]] into a super-robot limb when they are attached to the bright blue connector points on any Commander's "power up" mode, and snap back to drone-mode once removed. Arm-drones and leg-drones cannot swap functions; they ''can'' be attached to each others' connection points, but arms will always be arms and legs will always be legs. Each drone also has Mini-Con [[Powerlinx]] [[peg|hardpoint]]s.

'''Wave 1'''
* [[Bombshock (PCC)|Bombshock]] (cannon truck) with [[Combaticon (PCC)|Combaticon]] drones
* [[Skyburst]] (stealth jet) with [[Aerialbot (PCC)|Aerialbot]] drones

'''Wave 2'''
* [[Double Clutch (PCC)|Double Clutch]] (sports car) with [[Rallybot]] drones
* [[Mudslinger (PCC)|Mudslinger]] (monster truck) with [[Destructicon (PCC)|Destructicon]] drones

'''Wave 3'''
* [[Stakeout (PCC)|Stakeout]] (fire response truck) with [[Protectobot (PCC)|Protectobot]] drones
* [[Crankcase (Movie)|Crankcase]] (semi cab) with [[Destron (PCC)|Destron]] drones

'''Wave 4'''
* [[Steamhammer (PCC)|Steamhammer]] (bulldozer) with [[Constructicon (PCC)|Constructicon]] drones
* [[Grimstone]] (''Styracosaurus'') with [[Dinobot (PCC)|Dinobot]] drones

'''Wave 5'''
* [[Over-Run (PCC)|Over-Run]] (F1 racer) with [[Stunticon (PCC)|Stunticon]] drones
{{-}}

====Exclusive value packs====

'''[[Walmart]]'''
: After most stores had long gotten rid of ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' (and a few waves of product virtually never hit normal retail shelves), Walmart put out these [[Black Friday (event)|Black Friday]] bonus packs of a 5-piece combiner team with a two-pack taped to the side... all for the whopping price of ''ten dollars''. '''''TEN DOLLARS.''''' These were placed mostly on pallets pretty much wherever there was room in the aisle. There does not appear to be any particular order to who got packed with what, but reported combinations include:

Downshift (Armada)

2011-09-04T15:51:30Z

Engledogg: /* Armada */

{{factions|minicon}}
{{picsneeded}}
{{disambig3|Downshift}}
:''Downshift is a [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Armada (franchise)|Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Armada Downshift cardart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
'''Downshift''' ''used'' to be a real jerk. A speed-demon race champion among the Mini-Cons, there was a time when the fact that he wasn't the absolute #1 would have chapped his lugnuts. He's matured since then, however, and has dedicated himself to fighting for Mini-Con freedom rather than personal glory.

However, some lines of that old bad code still linger in his system. Should the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom shield]] fall into [[Decepticon]] hands and remain there for too long, the corrupting influence can affect all three members of the [[Race Mini-Con Team]] even after they disengage, and the selfish, boastful, uber-competitive Downshift resurfaces. While the effect is only temporary, it's not something anyone on the Team wants to go through.

==Fiction==
===''Armada'' cartoon===
Downshift was a rare occasion among the Mini-Cons on Earth, as he activated himself and scanned a vehicle mode all without imprinting on a [[bulk]] Transformer first. Whereas most missions were little more than a scavenger hunt by both sides to find an inert panel, Downshift had to be actively chased down by both sides. The Decepticons and the arrogant Autobot officer [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]] were willing to shoot the fleeing Mini-Con into submission; only [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] fought to protect Downshift and offer him a ''choice'' to work with the Autobots. Despite Hot Shot's efforts on Downshift's behalf, however, the Mini-Con was snatched from his grasp by [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], who teleported back to the Decepticon base on the moon. There, Downshift reunited with [[Mirage (Armada)|Mirage]] and [[Dirt Boss (Armada)|Dirt Boss]] to form the Skyboom Shield for the first time in untold centuries. {{storylink|Reinforcement}}

In the next battle, Megatron assembled both the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Team]] and the Race Team into the two most powerful weapons in the universe. Armed with both the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] and the Skyboom Shield, he toyed with [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] until his overconfidence caused him to lose his grip on the Shield. Prime's Mini-Con partner [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] then "locked on" to the Skyboom Shield and brought it under Prime's control, thwarting Megatron's killing strike with the Saber and balancing the powers between the two sides. {{storylink|Decisive Battle}}

Because the Skyboom Shield was in such demand by the Autobots to protect them from the Star Saber (and later the [[Requiem Blaster]]), Downshift and the Race Team appeared quite infrequently as individuals. One day, they went for a walk with the kids to catch some fresh air. Unfortunately, their little stroll happened just as [[Billy (Armada)|Billy]] and [[Fred (Armada)|Fred]] reported that [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] had met with Starscream. Squidhead had asked for the Skyboom Shield Mini-Cons as collateral for letting Starscream back into the Decepticons, so their sudden disappearance from the base didn't look too good for the former Decepticon. The Autobots' distrust for Starscream in part led to his decision to take Thrust up on his offer, and so even after [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] uncovered the kids and the Race Team and cleared his name, Starscream stole the Skyboom Shield for Megatron and returned to the Decepticons. {{storylink|Crack}}

Downshift and the Race Team had little time to act as individuals after that, remaining powerlinxed as the Skyboom Shield while the Decepticons used the shield as one-third of the [[Hydra Cannon]], before it was stolen by Thrust and used to provide power to the heart of Unicron. Mirage, Dirt Boss and Downshift reawakened as individuals with the help of [[High Wire (Armada)|High Wire]] and the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Street Action Team]], who had journeyed to Unicron's core with Optimus Prime, [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] and the Earth children to grant the super-weapon Mini-Cons their freedom. {{storylink|Origin}} Downshift fled Unicron aboard the Autobot [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] just before the Chaos-Bringer was finally destroyed. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' comic===
Downshift and the other Race Team members were captured early on in the [[Decepticon]]s' Mini-Con kidnapping spree. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 1|Armada #1}} Alongside many other Mini-Cons, they escaped captivity and made it to [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|moon]], where they lived in peace for some time. Eventually, the Decepticons found them and attacked their [[Mini-Con Moonbase|home]], and Downshift and the others were forced to flee to Earth. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 11|Armada #11}} The Race Team subsequently allied themselves with the Autobots, and traveled to [[Alaska]] to assist the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team|Adventure Team]], who were up against [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] and [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]]. Upon arrival, they found Thrust unconscious, while Cyclonus was stronger and crazier than ever. Downshift and his team failed to harm him, but luckily [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] was around. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 13|Armada #13}}

Later, the Race Team joined the rest of the Earthbound Mini-Cons in traveling back to Cybertron, which was under attack by [[Unicron]]. They were presumably part of the [[Mini-Con Matrix]] ceremony at the [[Loop]], which caused Unicron some major damage. {{storylink|The End}}

===Cybertron toy bios===
Meanwhile, an alternate-universe version of Downshift fell through a rip in space-time and landed on [[Velocitron]]. He was found by the criminal [[Dirt Boss (Cybertron)|Dirt Boss]], who enslaved the Mini-Con and used his power-boost to terrorize Velocitron's equatorial cities.

Man. Downshifts just can't catch a break.

==Notes==
* [[Hasbro]] copy writer [[Forest Lee]] confirms that the ''Cybertron'' Tiny Tins exclusives were originally planned with two different Race Team decos in mind, hence the backstory involving one version of the Team being from an alternate universe and the Tins' decos showing the Mini-Cons in silhouette rather than the normal full-color images. He could not confirm ''what'' the then-chosen decos were, however.

* The Race Team are the only one of the three "legendary Mini-Con weapons" Teams to be released in all three chapters of the [[Unicron Trilogy]].

'''1-2-3 Transformers''' was a toyline intended for preschool-age children, released under the [[Tonka]] brand in 2001-2002. The 1-2-3 Transformers have simplistic transformations (involving only three steps) so that small children will be able to transform them and feature electronic sounds, while Rescue Roy, the largest of the 1-2-3 Transformers, also features flashing lights. The 1-2-3 Transformers came in only two price points: "Mega" (approximately $15) and "Ultra" (approximately $30), the latter of which had only one item, and it was the first in the series.

Rescue Roy was the first, and only, "ultra class" figure released under the [[1-2-3 Transformers]] line (2001), transforming from a robot to an red, black, and gray fire engine, in three steps.

Rescue Roy has no accessories, but more than makes up for his lack of accessories by having several sound and light effects.

The main gimmicks of the 1-2-3 Transformers line are simplistic transformations and electronic sounds (and lights, in the case of Rescue Roy).

In both robot mode and vehicle mode, if you slide the light/siren on his left to the side, his eyes (in robot mode) and red lights on his chest/cab will light up. Rescue Roy can say nine phrases, overall, by sliding this button.

# "You're the real hero, partner!"
# "We'll blast the red stuff with the wet stuff!"
# Fire engine honking
# Fire engine siren
# "We're a tough, two man team."
# "Let's save the day, in a big way!"
# "When danger calls, I answer with action!"
# "Chief, prepare the water cannon!"

While in robot mode, there is a second button, that when pushed will cause his wings to flip out/expand from his backpack. At this point, Rescue Roy will utter "Let's take to the air!" and jet engine sound effects are heard.

In vehicle mode, a third button (found behind his head area) can be also be used while in fire engine mode, producing the following sound effects/phrases:

# Fire Engine honking followed by a fire engine siren
# "This is Rescue Roy, let's go to robot mode!"

Finally, if you don't push any buttons for an extended period of time, Rescue Roy will "shut down", stating "This is Rescue Roy one, signing off."

In 2003, Rescue Roy was slightly redecoed and released as part of the Japanese "Rescue Hero Go-Bots" line, as Roy.

The 1-2-3 Transformers came in only two price points:

*1. "Mega" - approximately $15 (Airlift Andy, Charlie Chopper, Fire Marshal Mike, and Policeman Pete)
*2. "Ultra" - approximately $30 (Rescue Roy)

All five figures feature electronic sounds, while Rescue Roy also features flashing lights.

Policeman Pete

2007-05-04T16:54:38Z

Engledogg:

Policeman Pete was one of the first "mega class" figures released under the [[1-2-3 Transformers]] line (2002), transforming from a robot to an blue, black, and white SUV police cruiser, in three steps.

Policeman Pete has two accessories, a police shield and a police baton/nightstick.

The main gimmicks of the 1-2-3 Transformers line are simplistic transformations and electronic sounds (and lights, in the case of Rescue Roy).

By pushing down on the badge-shaped button on the robot's chest/SUV's hood, Policeman Pete can say eight phrases while in robot mode:

# "Read 'em their rights, chief!"
# "Let's go, 911!"
# "We'll protect, serve and defend!"
# "We'll protect them from danger!"
# "You're a great backup!"
# "Let's catch the badguys!"
# "Hey partner, we're on patrol!"
# "When there's danger, we'll help!", in that order.

A separate set of sound effects and phrases are used while in SUV mode:

# Siren noise
# "Buckle up, we're in pursuit!"
# More Siren noise
# "Let's go to robot mode!", in that order.

In 2002, a repaint of Policeman Pete named Fire Marshal Mike was released.

In 2003, Policeman Pete was slightly redecoed and released as part of the Japanese "Rescue Hero Go-Bots" line, as Peat.

Charlie Chopper

2007-05-04T16:54:10Z

Engledogg:

Charlie Chopper was one of the first "mega class" figures released under the [[1-2-3 Transformers]] line (2002), transforming from a robot to an orange and white rescue helicopter, in three steps.

Charlie Chopper has two accessories, a rescue shield and a life preserver ring.

The main gimmicks of the 1-2-3 Transformers line are simplistic transformations and electronic sounds (and lights, in the case of Rescue Roy).

By pushing down on a button on the robot's chest/helicopter's cockpit, Charlie Chopper can say a combination of random 2-part phrases while in robot mode. For example:
:"Leapin' lifters, you're a great wingman!"
:"Leapin' lifters, let's go to chopper mode!"
:"Twistin' turbines, let's go to chopper mode!", etc.

A separate set of fixed (non-random) sound effects and phrases are used while in chopper mode, in this order:
:"Thwup-thwup-thwup" (generic helicopter sounds)
:"Let's go to robot mode!"
:"Chief, we're ready for airlift, over."
:"Ten-four, buddy. We got the sky covered! Over."

In 2002, a repaint of Charlier Chopper named Airlift Andy was released.

In 2003, Charlie Chopper was slightly redecoed and released as part of the Japanese "Rescue Hero Go-Bots" line, as Chopper.

The main gimmicks of the 1-2-3 Transformers line are simplistic transformations and electronic sounds (and lights, in the case of Rescue Roy).

By pushing down on the badge-shaped button on the robot's chest/SUV's hood, Policeman Pete can say nine phrases while in robot mode:

# "Read 'em their rights, chief!"
# "Let's go, 911!"
# "We'll protect, serve and defend!"
# "We'll protect them from danger!"
# "You're a great backup!"
# "Let's catch the badguys!"
# "Hey partner, we're on patrol!"
# "When there's danger, we'll help!", in that order.

A separate set of sound effects and phrases are used while in SUV mode:

# Siren noise
# "Buckle up, we're in pursuit!"
# More Siren noise
# "Let's go to robot mode!", in that order.

In 2002, a repaint of Policeman Pete named Fire Marshal Mike was released.

In 2003, Policeman Pete was slightly redecoed and released as part of the Japanese "Rescue Hero Go-Bots" line, as Peat.

Charlie Chopper was one of the first "mega class" figures released under the [[1-2-3 Transformers]] line (2001), transforming from a robot to an orange and white rescue helicopter, in three steps.

Charlie Chopper has two accessories, a rescue shield and a life preserver ring.

The main gimmicks of the 1-2-3 Transformers line are simplistic transformations and electronic sounds (and lights, in the case of Rescue Roy).

By pushing down on a button on the robot's chest/helicopter's cockpit, Charlie Chopper can say a combination of random 2-part phrases while in robot mode. For example:
:"Leapin' lifters, you're a great wingman!"
:"Leapin lifters, let's go to chopper mode!"
:"Twistin' turbines, let's go to chopper mode!", etc.

A separate set of fixed (non-random) sound effects and phrases are used while in chopper mode, in this order:
:"Thwup-thwup-thwup" (generic helicopter sounds)
:"Let's go to robot mode!"
:"Chief, we're ready for airlift, over."
:"Ten-four, buddy. We got the sky covered! Over."

In 2002, a repaint of Charlier Chopper named Airlift Andy was released.

In 2003, Charlie Chopper was slightly redecoed and released as part of the Japanese "Rescue Hero Go-Bots" line, as Chopper.
