&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;&#039;&#039; starred in a film series that made billions of dollars. Woohoo!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; (2007)==&lt;br /&gt;
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only &#039;&#039;Movie&#039;&#039; Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Japanese name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;EZ Collection Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Legends class Optimus Prime is an &#039;&#039;extremely&#039;&#039; simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in [[robot mode]]. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy&#039;s [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver&#039;s side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. His hands are designed to hold 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm-compatible weapons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy&#039;s subsidiary Subarudo.&lt;br /&gt;

: The previously-released Legends Class Optimus Prime toy is redecoed to match the Leader class Nightwatch Optimus Prime deco.

&lt;br /&gt;
:Based upon the &amp;quot;[[Protoform]]&amp;quot; (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his &amp;quot;entry&amp;quot; mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime&#039;s windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the &amp;quot;vehicle&amp;quot;, creating the illusion of a flaming comet&#039;s tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth, with an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble saying &amp;quot;Exclusive movie poster!&amp;quot;. It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It was the last transformers toy I hands-on worked on. It is not a strong design so i was surprised to see a redeco at #toysrus yesterday.

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Optimus Prime mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[e-HOBBY]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic its frozen state in the &amp;quot;coldness&amp;quot; of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the &amp;quot;entry&amp;quot; mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear &#039;&#039;blue&#039;&#039; plastic, with the tail end being covered in &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; paint.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the third wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;]] Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into on-screen. His driver cabin now features a small interior with an opening driver-side door with a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver&#039;s side door is opened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg onto his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a &amp;quot;Supermetal finish&amp;quot;, resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved &#039;flame&#039; paint decorations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for &#039;&#039;20th Anniversary&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime. The package also includes a Robo-Vision Decoder. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy has been retroactively declared part of the &#039;&#039;Premium Series&#039;&#039; of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.&lt;br /&gt;

Limited to only 3 pieces, it is insanely rare. The photographed sample here features a chromed truck grill, while a boxed unit has an unchromed grey grill; the owners of both pieces, the Mapes Brothers of [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/ Transformers @ The Moon], believe both are genuine TakaraTomy toys, so it is unclear if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Released as part of the &#039;&#039;Allspark Power&#039;&#039; refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the [[transformation]], this figure actually ends up being &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can&#039;t have your cake and eat it too, folks.&lt;br /&gt;

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

: A second Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, the gray molded pieces were recolored beige-grey, and multiple parts that were previously molded in blue and red (the chest, shoulder pads, and leg interiors) had their mold colors swapped, with extra [[paint operation]]s to make up the difference. As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the sculpt, in a &amp;quot;doing things differently to achieve a very similar end result&amp;quot; sense.

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released in the first wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;]] Leader Class toys, this Optimus Prime, at the time, was the most accurate representation of the CGI designs&#039; complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [https://web.archive.org/web/20070814100030/http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His [[Ion blaster]] weapon is stored in the rear of the truck&#039;s bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel hitch is sculpted in the rear of the truck. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime&#039;s legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus&#039;s final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime&#039;s eyes, accompanied by a &amp;quot;powering up&amp;quot; sound effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints, and ankles. His hands even have individually articulated fingers and thumbs!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The first Nightwatch Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of the previously released Leader-class Optimus Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black. In fact, he resembles the original [[Diaclone]] Powered Convoy color scheme of &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]]&#039;s truck cab. The previously blue and red flames have been replaced with silver flames, while various other decos have been replaced by copper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This version was released in the UK several months before the &#039;&#039;AllSpark Power&#039;&#039; version. Available exclusively through Argos stores, it came in an American-style box with the original Movie packaging design. This version was also released by [[TakaraTomy]] in Japan.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the &amp;quot;[[AllSpark Power]]&amp;quot; second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers. The translucent parts were also cast in purple translucent plastic instead of black translucent plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Another difference is that this version comes in an &#039;&#039;AllSpark Power&#039;&#039;-style box instead of the original style.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Detachable, Retractable &amp;quot;energy sword&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a [[retool]] and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The paint deco is... unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners, and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unlike the initial &#039;&#039;Premium Series&#039;&#039; toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment. The instructions still depicts the original Leader Class mold&#039;s head.&lt;br /&gt;

:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro&#039;s release. Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro&#039;s Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its &amp;quot;powered up&amp;quot; appearance.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[Fast Action Battlers|Fast Action Battler]] Power Hook Optimus Prime is a (roughly) Deluxe sized figure made for younger children than the rest of the mainline and was designed to have a quick conversion and an action feature. This actually translates to him being made of a series of Automorph mechanisms that facilitate what is for the most part, a one step transformation. Just split the front of the truck along the seam and Optimus&#039; chest and arms swing into place while his feet pop out. The sides of the truck even feature little sculpted arrows to remind you what to do! He has a little string attached to his missile tied to his &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; to let you imagine he&#039;s reeling things in with his hook. It also means little ones don&#039;t lose it, but other figures in the line featured firing missiles which weren&#039;t tied to anything, so that&#039;s probably not why it&#039;s there. The launching hook isn&#039;t Prime&#039;s only gimmick though, as his waist is spring loaded in one direction for a punch (or maybe even kick) attack. For whatever reason, the balls in his hip joints are cast from clear blue plastic so they may be a point of fragility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unsurprisingly, he is relatively inaccurate to the film&#039;s design.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Trans-scan]]ning Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a &amp;quot;[[core body]]&amp;quot;. To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be transform into his meteor-like &amp;quot;entry mode&amp;quot;. This mode can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime&#039;s Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. Compared to the overly simple transformation of the protoform mode, his truck mode&#039;s transformation can be described as an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging &#039;&#039;mess&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; Legends class Optimus Prime is a much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn&#039;t inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy. It should be noted that he was molded in only one paintable plastic color, with red and blue deco patterns decked on it. The top of the truck&#039;s bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn&#039;t mentioned in the instructions, though they&#039;re hardly needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Compared to the final product, stock photos of the figure loses blue paint operations on his knee armor. This mold was also used to make [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Darkside Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event. Optimus also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen EZ Collection sets. And like all the first waves, he comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the Revenge of the Fallen toyline. His pair of legs is also mistranformed to fit in the bubble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Malaysia, this toy was one of the four Legends Class toys to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He could be obtained starting from the 12th of July, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be warned, there is a very convincing-looking [[knockoff]] that&#039;s been making the rounds. While the paint applications are pretty much identical to the real deal, the pegs on the legs/trunk front can be a little too tight when attached. in some worst cases; it can break off if attempted to pull off by force. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|first movie&#039;s toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot [[insignia|logo]] on the side of the truck&#039;s bunk, and hanzi (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word &amp;quot;上海将军&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;Shanghai General&amp;quot;, while &amp;quot;大将&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;Grand general&amp;quot;. The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Japanese version of the toy, named &amp;quot;Optimus Prime Revenge Edition&amp;quot;, was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail &#039;&#039;Revenge&#039;&#039; toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the [[tampograph]]ed Chinese.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:An &amp;quot;Asia&amp;quot; version of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Voyager-Class Optimus Prime (see above) was released in a two-pack, except with different writing on him. The writing on this version &amp;quot;勇猛果敢 武士道&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;brave and fierce, resolute and courageous, bushido&amp;quot;, which interestingly can be read in Chinese and Japanese with the same semantic meaning, albeit differing pronunciations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.tfw2005.com/2010/01/30/revenge-of-the-fallen-optimus-prime-and-ravage-redecos-169082&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which is very fitting for Optimus Prime.

This two-pack has been confirmed to have been released in Malaysia and was apparently also sold in Indonesia and India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like his pack-in mate Bumblebee, a near-identical [[knockoff]] of the 2-pack has been making the rounds since the 2010s, with Optimus Prime being one of the dead giveaways; He possesses a lighter shade of opaque blue paint on the thighs.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime would have been a redeco of the 2007 Optimus Prime Voyager-Class mold in a similar style to the Leader-Class Buster Optimus Prime (see below), with a much more accurate and detailed paint scheme, including white stenciled flames. He would have come with a set of [[Jetfire (Movie)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]] armour parts to form the powered-up Optimus Prime seen at end of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039;, and due to not having to form Jetfire&#039;s robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie&#039;s design of them than the leader class Jetfire toy could manage. While not combined to Optimus Prime, the armour can be arranged to form a sort of weapon emplacement mode or a jet engine on the back of Optimus&#039;s vehicle mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Both Jet Power Optimus Prime and the accompanying redeco of Voyager-Class &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#UniteMegatron|Megatron]] would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|&#039;&#039;Unite for the Universe&#039;&#039; comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece Movie]]&#039;&#039; releases of Leader-Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]].

:Voyager-Class [[Stratosphere]] comes with a transformable Optimus Prime mini-figure that deploys from his cargo bay, based upon scenes from the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; movie. The articulation is limited to hinges on his arms, legs and shoulders, all three of them being contingent from his transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Towering at only barely over two inches, this is actually not just the smallest movie-verse Optimus but even the smallest transformable figure of Optimus Prime for a while - ironically enough, being even slightly tinier than the [[Smallest Transforming Transformers]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (Leader, 2009)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;RA-01&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie&#039;s Leader-class Optimus Prime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie&#039;s [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime&#039;s entire pectoral region &amp;quot;flexes&amp;quot;, lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot; in [[Peter Cullen]]&#039;s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just &amp;quot;Optimus Prime&amp;quot;; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime&#039;s arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime&#039;s arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable. The blades are removable by unscrewing the three screws on the arm lower panel. Removing the blades makes the arms swivel. The flip-out blades would be omitted in the Jetwing and Striker releases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro&#039;s photos is that the sun visors above Prime&#039;s windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime&#039;s lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Overall, the robot mode of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who&#039;s your daddy? He is.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] to form Jetpower Optimus Prime by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy. It is best to not constantly attach and remove Jetfire&#039;s missile gun on the pin of Optimus arm since the pressure applied will bend the pin holding the arm panel of the hood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rotf optimus stock photo 1.jpeg|thumb|right|upright=1]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Like several new-mold &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro&#039;s stock photos of the hand-painted [[prototype]] (pictured right), the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. The rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime&#039;s CG design. The lower arms were originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Finally, his fingers are no longer articulated, and instead the entire hand is now one molded piece. The articulated fingers would later be used for the &#039;&#039;Asia Premium Series&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Movie The Best&#039;&#039; releases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As a result of striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime ends up being remarkably complex for the time, with the figure essentially exploding into a series of chunks and panels that need to be aligned just right in order to come together in truck mode. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even &#039;&#039;harder&#039;&#039;. Also, let us not forget that, upon transforming him back to robot mode, he will declare his identity over and over and over and over and over until you&#039;re finished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release. This version can also attach [[Energon star]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The entire mold became a victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from upscaled (and sometimes simplified) molds to high-quality clones. Several of his redecoes/retools below also suffers from this. &lt;br /&gt;

The red and blue plastic colors also vary from the original release, to better match his film appearance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with Optimus Prime Black Version, Buster Optimus Prime uses the improved instructions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market-[[exclusive]] Leader Class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (Movie)#JetfireBuster|Jetfire]] and a slightly altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but unlike the standalone Buster Prime, has a head with a faceplate, itself containing more paint details than the first release of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version &#039;&#039;doesn&#039;t&#039;&#039; use the improved version of Optimus&#039; [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This release of Buster Optimus Prime was susceptible to a paint scraping issue on the silver painted slide-out barrel of his blaster. This problem was fixed for the [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|DOTM Re-release]] by relocating the silver paint app from the barrel to the inside wall of an exposed gas tank that had been previously left as unpainted grey plastic. The black paint app on the barrel was left unchanged. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In mid 2010, this set was released in Australia. In early 2011, it was released in the Philippines. In late 2011, [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|this set]] was [[Rebranding|re-released]] in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; [[packaging]].&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the second wave of 2010 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Voyagers, Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design, while also being much more movie accurate than the previous Voyager incarnations. He features two [[Dual Energon Swords|energon swords]] made of soft plastic, similar to his Leader Class incarnation, albeit not spring-loaded. They can be detached from the mushroom joints they&#039;re on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also has a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] in his chest which is made of unpainted gray plastic. In an awesome homage, the Movie Matrix rests on a stand molded to look like its Generation 1 incarnation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two &amp;quot;[[barrage cannon]]s&amp;quot;. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime&#039;s transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime&#039;s head magically clipping through his chest to transform. The instructions also neglect to mention that his heel/bumper pieces must be slid out until they &#039;&#039;click&#039;&#039;, making the figure just that bit more stable, and that the rotating truck door panels on his upper arms can be pulled further out (but not off) from their sockets, allowing more space for the panels to swing around his hood-arms during transformation. It should be noted that the chest windows on all releases of this sculpt are prone to slight cracking, often out of the packaging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The TakaraTomy &#039;&#039;Autobot Alliance&#039;&#039; release of this toy has some significant differences. Color-wise, the red plastic is in a darker shade, his shin and wheel joints are grey rather than Hasbro&#039;s bronze, and the Matrix of Leadership has been painted silver. More immediately noticeable is that the dual energon swords have been replaced with a pair of battle hooks, similar to 2010&#039;s Leader Class Optimus Prime (see below). However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the swords rather than the hooks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;

He has a darker paint job and sports black splotches on his body and head to signify battle damage. However, due to these extra &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; release were omitted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime!&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;We must stop the Decepticons!&amp;quot; The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated &amp;quot;Optimus Prime&amp;quot; sound clip as the original release. To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about &#039;&#039;anywhere&#039;&#039; outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia). The box also mentions racing sounds, which may or may not be referring to the button-activated diesel engine noises carried over from the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; version of the figure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version uses the TakaraTomy version of the instructions, which improved upon the original Leader-Class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.&lt;br /&gt;

(オプティマスプライムクリアVer.) was only available blindpacked as part of TakaraTomy&#039;s EZ Collection Vol. 3, under the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]&#039;&#039; banner. It is a clear version of the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; mold, cast in (entirely colorless) clear plastic with opaque paint operations (which is the same paint mask from the original Legends Class toy albeit slightly darker) on the details. This redeco also uses the slightly small fuel tank/elbow tabs from the Battle Damaged release. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The toy had a preliminary name: &amp;quot;Optimus Prime Tokubetsu Color&amp;quot; (オプティマスプライム特別カラー, &amp;quot;Optimus Prime Special Color&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;

:Released as part of The blindpacked &#039;&#039;EZ Collection Real&#039;&#039; by TakaraTomy&#039;s &amp;quot;TakaraTomy A.R.T.S&amp;quot;, this Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Legends Class figure, sharing the same paint mask with the [[#LegendsBattleDamage|Battle Damaged]] figure sans the weathering. Like all land-based vehicles in this line, He features an extra paint applications on the wheels rims, which is only seen in the stock photo compared to the final product, which is left bare due to being molded with unpaintable plastic. This redeco also uses the slightly small fuel tank/elbow tabs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like his EZ Collection Real brethren, Optimus Prime comes with two different variants: The &amp;quot;Real Color&amp;quot; features a flat shade on the plastic colors and paint, while the &amp;quot;Metallic Color&amp;quot; features metallic paint and plastic instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Stock photos showed that his blue paint applications being brighter. This could be a trick of a lightning, since the final product&#039;s blue paint applications is still the same dark blue color seen in the Battle Damaged figure.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released as part of the first wave of the [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander class figures, this Optimus Prime is a roughly Scout-sized figure. He comes with a jetpack that can combine with both his truck and robot modes. The jetpack attaches via [[C joint]] clips, and the jetpack can transform in and out of a winged configuration when Optimus is in truck mode. Optimus himself features C joint bars for his smokestacks and trailer hitch, as well as bars on the top of his headache rack, while his hands and jetpack can hold/mount his rifles via C joint-related 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm clips/holes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DOTM 3DPreview Cyberverse OptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|right|150px|These glasses allow Optimus to see the aliens in his midst. Wait a minute..]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus was first released as a &amp;quot;Limited Edition Preview&amp;quot; in [[Calendar|March]] [[2011]], over two months before the full release of the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; toyline on [[May 16]], 2011. He comes packaged with a pair of {{w|Anaglyph image|Anaglyph}} 3-D glasses for use on the transformers.com website, but they cannot be used to view 3D movies in cinemas. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy is also notorious for being a shelfwarmer in a small number of Walmart stores for 8 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure also saw regular release, with no changes of the figure but lacks 3D glasses.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe&lt;br /&gt;
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], Deluxe Class Optimus Prime features a high range of motion, with ball jointed shoulders and hips, swivels at the neck, knees, and feet, and double swivels in the elbows. As a result of the transformation process, he can also rotate at the waist, though this is hindered considerably by his &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded &amp;quot;Automorph&amp;quot; feature in his head, if the truck kibble pushes the small grey switch from his back before splitting the chest into half. And due to how close the head of the faceplate and the front unpaintable piece is, Optimus&#039; &amp;quot;nose&amp;quot; section has a tendency to chip off after many transformations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime features a [[MechTech]] Blaster that can convert into an Energon Battle Axe reminiscent of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 character]]&#039;s [[Energon-axe|iconic weapon]], though the weapon cannot be locked in battle axe mode. There is also a pair of C joint rods on the underside of both forearms. His MechTech blaster can plug into the port on each of his arms or be held in either hand in robot mode, or plug into one of two holes on his truck roof/robot shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:After step 5, the instructions did not mention that you should fold back the shoulder panels to form the sleeper part until the 11th step. Care must be taken while transforming the legs: the small peg located on the lower leg can be snapped off due to the peg being slightly thick to accommodate with the hole. Also, take note that Optimus Prime cannot wield 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm weapons with longer posts, as the way that his pinky finger is molded prevents the post from pegging down through his hands. Also, take note that the legs&#039; sculpted small rectangle peg (the one that locks the robot mode legs in place) is prone to warping if care is not taken during transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The hand-painted prototype photos from both the packaging and the instructions shows that Prime had long smokestacks, but it was shortened for safety reasons in the final product.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]&#039;s weapon. This figure was also sold at Universal theme parks in new packaging with &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]&#039;&#039; branding. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The &amp;quot;Standard&amp;quot; version sports an extremely detailed &amp;quot;premium&amp;quot; and screen-accurate paint job, while the Black version sports a black deco that makes him look very much like [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|if he is dead]].&lt;br /&gt;

:Each figure was sold separately in a black box with a black movie Optimus Prime silhouette that is visible thanks to the &amp;quot;Exclusive Optimus Prime&amp;quot; and the Milk&#039;s 10th anniversary logo.

&lt;br /&gt;
:Release exclusively in Japan, this Optimus Prime is a [[retool]] of the figure above, removing the heat shield and solar panels, as well as replacing any rocket booster parts (such as his heels) and gas tanks with normal truck parts. His light-piping eyes are painted in translucent light blue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also has a new [[MechTech]] Ion Blaster with a flip-out [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], and like all Voyager Class MechTech weapons, it can lock into place by latching one of the levers to the body of the gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His MechTech [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|trailer]] opens up much like Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s trailer (as well as being able to stand up to harken back to the Generation 1 [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]&#039;s upright mode), includes storage for many MechTech weapons inside and out, and is able to transport up to two Deluxe class (or one smaller Voyager) Autobots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The flame deco on Optimus&#039; forearm parts (hidden by the wheels) are flipped in the stock photos, which is present in the vehicle mode.

Meanwhile, all of the stock photos of the Ion Blaster/Energy Blade (sans the extra step instruction) depicts the blade as a painted opaque piece.&lt;br /&gt;

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] redeco and retool of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toyline]] [[#Voyager Class toys 3|&amp;quot;Battle Blades&amp;quot; Optimus Prime toy]] features the Japanese release&#039;s hooks (instead of swords), plus an all-new [[mouthplate]]-less, mouthed face. As part of the set&#039;s lunar theme, reflections of stars are painted across his vehicle mode sides and on his windshield, with a sharp reflection of [[Earth]]&#039;s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in one of his windows. This time, his [[Matrix of Leadership]] is cast in orange plastic. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This exclusive has a peculiar and common error in that the arm hooks&#039; hubs stick out farther than they should, causing a gap that runs down the middle of the cab&#039;s nose in vehicle mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech trailer]], as the original mold has no trailer hitch to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus comes with a &amp;quot;bonus value&amp;quot; Deluxe Class toy, [[Comettor (DOTM)|Comettor]]. The pair together cost a dollar less than a regular Voyager Class toy. It was also available at Galeria Kaufhof department stores in Germany, with Comettor &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; highlighted as a &amp;quot;bonus&amp;quot; figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In [[Australia]], this release was available at [[Kmart]] for a considerably lower price than a regular Voyager Class toy.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Fireburst Optimus Prime is a redeco of the standard &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Optimus Prime, sporting a darker shade of blue and a &amp;quot;burning&amp;quot; color scheme that includes replacing all translucent blue parts with translucent orange. Because of this, his light-piped eyes were neutered by opaque light blue paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a MechTech rifle that converts into a large battle axe, and can be locked in by pulling the lever all the way in and tilting it into a gap to the left. The rifle has a separate flip-out handle, while the axe uses the rifle&#039;s long barrel as the handle, meaning that Optimus can grip the axe with both of his hands. This weapon was also retooled in a running change, adding a stop to the handle instead of relying solely on the gear system to prevent the locking assembly from flying off into parts unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Eliminator Gun &amp;amp; Assault Blaster (forms [[Mega Striker]]), shield/battle shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Labeled as a &amp;quot;[[Triple Changer]]&amp;quot;, Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus Prime, with new weapons. The base figure has most of the same mold changes as Jetwing Optimus Prime (see below), but has been altered further; in particular, the transforming smokestacks and fuel tanks/ion blaster parts have been replaced with retooled regular tanks that now function as mounts for the new accessories. The colors on the toy are darker than Jetwing Optimus, with a different flame deco that extends farther along the sides of the toy. Additionally, two new 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us|Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot; saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the &amp;quot;We must stop the Decepticons!&amp;quot; saying of 2010 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a shield with a fold-out handle, allowing Optimus to hold onto it with either hand in robot mode. It has a simple transformation gimmick for vehicle mode which is activated by pressing a button at the top of the shield, causing the sides to spring outwards. In vehicle mode, the shield can be laid flat across the bed of the truck, attaching via a post on the back onto the truck’s trailer hitch. Alternatively, the bumpers on the shield can be rotated outwards, and the front can be bent down in order to form a new front end and hood for &amp;quot;battle vehicle mode&amp;quot;, resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicle modes seen in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the &amp;quot;Eliminator Gun&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Assault Blaster&amp;quot;, which combine into the &amp;quot;Mega Striker&amp;quot;, a rifle that closely resembles the one used in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In &amp;quot;battle vehicle mode&amp;quot;, the sides of the truck are rotated up, and the guns can be attached by small pegs to holes in the modified smokestacks, or they can plugged into any of the standard connection points with their [[5 mm post|5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all Japanese &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime&#039;s ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime&#039;s blaster is painted silver with a black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is left as unpainted grey plastic (exactly like the blaster on the original single-boxed ROTF Buster Optimus Prime). After receiving numerous reports from customers that the silver paint on the slide-out barrel was easily scraped off by merely transforming it from gas tank to blaster, Takara-Tomy briefly stated in an interview that they had addressed the issue for the Dark of the Moon packaged version by swapping the placement of the silver paint application. Thus, the Dark of the Moon packaged version now features the slide-out barrel on Prime&#039;s blaster as unpainted grey plastic with an unchanged black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is now painted silver.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader class Buster Optimus Prime, with an accompanying large jet pack and massive dual Gatling Cannons. The base Optimus Prime figure has several modifications including: a new stomach area and elbow flares to reflect the changes to Optimus Prime&#039;s CG model in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, modified lower arms to incorporate MechTech ports and clips for the cannons, and a retooled area under his back so the jet pack can fit on more securely. The dual energon blades mounted on his arms have been removed. The toy retains Buster Optimus Prime&#039;s electronics, but batteries are not included. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Jetwing jet pack attaches onto Optimus Prime via a part that hooks onto one of the hinges behind his neck, and a spring-loaded clamp that latches onto a recessed area under Optimus&#039; back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus&#039; Ion Blaster must be removed for this mode, and they can be stored inside the engines for the jet pack. The Jetwing can be used on previous Leader Optimus Primes from &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; onwards, but due to the lack of modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn&#039;t as stable. The jet pack features four MechTech ports on the main wing articulation points, and two [[C joint]] mounting points on each wing. The Gatling Cannons both feature two MechTech ports and 2 C joint mounts on either side of each cannon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime&#039;s flight tech for &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all Japanese &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Jetwing Optimus Prime was available for early purchase in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 (held at Tokyo Bic Sight) on [[June 18]] to [[June 19|19]], shortly before its wide release in July.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Billed on his packaging as &amp;quot;BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!&amp;quot;, Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; Optimus Prime on its own, roughly equivalent to a Voyager in size and complexity, though with a lower degree of screen-accuracy than most large Optimus toys. Prime has 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm fist holes, as well as additional 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports on his front wheel wells and both sets of external fuel tanks. Four of these remain available in robot mode. The trailer has twelve more 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus&#039; trailer]] transforms into nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although this renders the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation, having no leg articulation whatsoever aside from swinging the hips out slightly and twisting at the ankles for maximum stability. The armor adds six more 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the four from the cab robot and the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has his own pair of 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can hold itself up using folding blue supports, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime&#039;s gigantic Ultimax Super Cannon, an electronic light-and-sound weapon the size and mass of a Deluxe figure. The whole cannon attaches to a special socket slightly behind Prime&#039;s shoulders, can store on the back or flip over to be gripped in both fists in armor mode, or stored upside-down underneath the trailer in truck mode. When pointed forward, the cannon has a larger helmet styled after Prime&#039;s own with a large translucent face shield featuring a painted targeting system. The weapon has three electronic modes: each of two small buttons plays its own weapon-firing noise and flashes one set of lights, while the large pull-switch in the cannon&#039;s center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot;. The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot;, allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus&#039; imaginary &amp;quot;flight&amp;quot; operations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Although the trailer is made exclusively for the cab with which it comes, it is scaled much more closely to and can be pulled by Optimus Prime&#039;s &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader class iteration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:Available exclusively at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] and their booth at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, this version of Ultimate Optimus Prime is presented in vehicle mode, packaged into a large, foil-embossed bubble packaging (similar to late &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]&#039;&#039; packaging) styled after Optimus Prime&#039;s trailer, with an additional foil-embossed sleeve styled after the hood of Optimus Prime&#039;s truck. Exclusive to this release is a set of stickers one can apply to [[Armored Weapons Platform#SDCCUltimatePrime|the trailer]]. The toy itself is otherwise identical to the regular retail release.&lt;br /&gt;

:This is a redeco of Ultimate Optimus Prime. While Prime himself only features a red grill, the [[Armored Weapons Platform#YOTDPrime|trailer]] has been extensively redecoed, with an ornate golden Chinese dragon being painted on the trailer panels, and the various gray parts of the trailer panels, armor, and cannon being replaced by blue, red, gold, and burgundy. The toy was released as a &amp;quot;{{w|Dragon (zodiac)|Year of the Dragon}}&amp;quot; Special Edition in [[2012]], since the Chinese Zodiac sign for that year is the Dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the original Asian release of this figure was sold in [[multilingual packaging|bilingual]] English/Chinese packaging, it was later made available in North America as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive, this time in English-only packaging.&lt;br /&gt;

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Optimus Prime (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. You simply slam him down on the big blue button on the back end of his truck mode and he transforms thanks to spring-loaded mechanisms. To transform him back, just slam him down again on the same blue button. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockingly, he actually has arm articulation! Swivels at his shoulders allow you to rotate his arms 360 degrees! Go little Prime! Unfortunately, because his big blue button sits right under his feet, his robot mode is a little unstable when it comes to standing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Prime was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn&#039;t be transformed in package.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Bash Bots&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is a small, rock-em-sock-em-styled toy that transforms from a super-deformed truck into a robot by pulling or pushing the lever below it&#039;s built-in stand.

:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Go-Bots toys. Prime&#039;s pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, the motor gimmick really comes to the fore—his head, shoulders, and legs move in time with his forward movement. His legs pump up and down, his shoulders pump up and down, and his head rocks side-to-side. This gives the toy the illusion that it&#039;s running, rather than just rolling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The other gimmick for Prime is his auto-transform gimmick. From truck mode, push him down on his back bumper and his bonnet automatically folds back and his arms automatically pop out. He needs to be transformed back manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, Go-Bots Optimus Prime has a limited swivel joint for head articulation, and while he has other movable joints, all of them are spring-loaded and unable to hold a pose.&lt;br /&gt;

The figure lacks the chrome of previous releases, instead opting for silver paint. The pin-striping is also absent, but he does have painted pupils. The figure also features 2-2-1 articulated fingers, which the [[#Leader Class toys 2|first Leader Class]] did not have due to budget cuts. The ion cannon included lacks the black paint application, leaving it completely silver. When purchased from select retailers, this toy will also include a shiny metal number plate and a bonus mini [[AllSpark]] cube accessory. His instructions depict a weaponized mode which has some clearance issues, as his Gatling guns are shown attached to the Jetwing, which pushes against his arms. His Eliminator Gun and Assault Blaster cannot tab into the Gatling gun tightly either.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of &#039;&#039;Kre-O&#039;&#039;. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable &amp;quot;sleeper&amp;quot; cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set&#039;s two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|&#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a &amp;quot;headquarters&amp;quot; which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it&#039;s a building kit, surely you can find &#039;&#039;someplace&#039;&#039; to apply most of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 Optimus]]), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional &amp;quot;Matrix chest&amp;quot; Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.&lt;br /&gt;

He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the &#039;&#039;Kre-O Battleship&#039;&#039; aliens) plus a spare hand, as well as a buildable battle-axe, a buildable smokestack-pack, and an extra [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]]-style wing-pack.&lt;br /&gt;

:This set popped up at Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us a few short weeks after the initial product without any advance warning... and retailed for a mere $25, despite the size of the set.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This set was only available on [[June 28]] as part of a special promotion at Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us, given away free from noon to 2pm (roughly) as part of an in-store building event that coincided with the opening weekend of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]&#039;&#039; and the final day of a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale on all &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; product.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The building set also comes with a poster with a preview of all Kre-O Transformers products released in 2014. Remaining stock of the kit (new condition, of course) is later dumped to several Hobby Shops in Asia.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of &amp;quot;movie&amp;quot; Optimus is based on his &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; incarnation, as that&#039;s how he appears in &amp;quot;[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]&amp;quot; and as a mascot character on the park grounds. He is available exclusively in a box set sold at The Ride&#039;s gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks. After several years of &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; being available at the park proper, the four-pack was eventually added to Universal&#039;s online store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies. Optimus&#039;s [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged. This set would later see slight production changes; all of the figures&#039; tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, while Optimus&#039;s medium-pearlescent-gray plastics (his arm-mounted smokestacks) have been lightened considerably and lost a significant amount of metallic sheen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In mid-2020, the set was revamped again &#039;&#039;again&#039;&#039;, now removing Evac and replacing him with the [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]]. This version of the set uses the latter version of the other three characters with the thicker tampograph lines and lighter medium-gray plastic.&lt;br /&gt;

:&amp;quot;Mini-Con Combiner&amp;quot;&#039; Optimus comes with one standard Kreon and four &#039;&#039;Cityville&#039;&#039;-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: One of the Mini-Con limb-bots (Soundwave helmet) is based on the original movie version of Optimus. The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus&#039;s original body. Two of his limbs are based on &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet).

:Another redeco of Deluxe-Class &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Prime, this release uses a darker grey, a less magenta-y red, and less gold on the front end. Included is the trailer originally available with the &#039;&#039;Chronicle&#039;&#039; release. The trailer holds up to seven MechTech or similar 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm peg accessories. Four holes are located on the top-front end of the trailer, with another three inside. The door also folds down to become a ramp, and the inside of the trailer is big enough for several Legion or Commander Cyberverse toys, or one smaller-end Deluxe figure. Two [[C joint]] bars also run along the bottom of both sides. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The center section of the inner trailer floor has been retooled so it can no longer be pulled out and flipped over, since bottle cap figurines aren&#039;t really sold in the West outside of import shops. However, the framework on the bottom of the trailer can be unscrewed to allow this piece to be flipped or, for the more industrious fan, have the tabs removed to restore the function. There is still an indent to make flipping the sliding section up easier, hinting at the neutered feature.&lt;br /&gt;

:Unlike both the Walmart exclusive Deluxe figure and the Japanese release, no weapon accessories are included.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; toy line]]. Prime is a Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star &amp;quot;5700 OP&amp;quot; concept truck vehicle mode and his updated robot mode from the film (well, mostly based on his initial design rather than the final design in the movie). His transformation is much simpler than his counterparts from the previous three movie lines, being billed as transforming in &amp;quot;15 easy steps.&amp;quot; His torso, shoulders, upper legs, and the vehicle mode grill are all completely chromed with the exception of minor blue and red details painted on his chest. However, this comes at the expense of his smokestacks and wheels being bare gray plastic, whereas they are chromed in the film. His [[shellformer|simplified transformation]] also comes at the expense of having a very bulky &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. His truck kibble can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own, though this is not an intended feature of the toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via a 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post. In truck mode, the sword is stored underneath, while the shield mounts onto the trailer hitch. The sword also features a [[5 mm post|5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime&#039;s trailer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was only available as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, but was also released at brick and mortar retails in Australia and Hasbro&#039;s Asian markets, such as Singapore.

&lt;br /&gt;
:A redeco of First Edition Optimus Prime in the &#039;Silver Knight&#039; scheme, molded in light grey plastic and sporting many paint operations, with the sword and shield molded in clear light blue plastic. Like all of the AOE &amp;quot;Silver Knight&amp;quot; Optimus Prime toys, this was a Target exclusive.

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Sword of Judgement&lt;br /&gt;
:Another redeco of First Edition Optimus Prime with a retooled faceplated head and a more stylised flame deco(now based of the red-orange fade seen in the original Peterbilt Optimus) and is slathered in chrome. He comes in a two-pack with a redecoed &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class [[Sideswipe (Movie)/toys#Age of Extinction|Sideswipe]], using the alternate [[Swerve (Movie)#Revenge of the Fallen|Swerve]] head, along with the &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|MP-10 Convoy]]/[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10hasbro|Optimus Prime]] trailer without [[Roller (G1)#Masterpiece|Roller]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime comes with the same sword, now molded in orange plastic with no paint operations. This set omits the shield seen in the First Edition and Silver Knight versions of this mold. It is omitted as there is no place in the truck mode to store it, since the trailer now takes over the trailer hitch, which is where the shield was supposed to be stored, though you &#039;&#039;technically&#039;&#039; could have stored it in the trailer. This toy is still compatible with the First Edition and Silver Knight versions of the shield, though neither match the color scheme well.&lt;br /&gt;

:The stock photo on the right shows him with the side panels of the truck on his backpack incorrectly flipped out. They should be split and tabbed together.&lt;br /&gt;

:In the United States, this set was a &amp;quot;shared exclusive&amp;quot; between [[BigBadToyStore]], [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]], and [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]. In Canada and Singapore, it was exclusive to Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us, whereas in Australia, it was a Myer exclusive.

:A redeco of the &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class toy, this Optimus Prime has large portions of his body, mostly his truck parts, vacuum metalized silver, and his light-piped eyes were neutered by blue paint. He comes with a redeco of Generation 1 [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]]&#039;s sword, which can be wielded by his 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, &#039;&#039;especially&#039;&#039; with the shoulder kibble &amp;amp; the bottom leg&#039;s posts (This can be amended if you slightly widen the holes with 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm hand drills). As with the original &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class figure, the instructions don&#039;t mention about forming the sleeper part until step 10, the pinky finger prevented the sword to peg down through his hands, and of course: his truck mode can attach with the Armored Weapons Platform included in the &#039;&#039;Chronicle&#039;&#039; or the &#039;&#039;Movie Trilogy Series&#039;&#039; figure. This figure has slightly loose shoulder joints.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro), [[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class toys, &amp;quot;Evasion Mode Optimus Prime&amp;quot; is based on the character&#039;s initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime&#039;s White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a &amp;quot;default&amp;quot; 90° position. Also, while you transform him back to truck mode, his hands must be in the same sideways position to ensure the truck kibble is properly flushed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus includes a spring-loaded missile-firing &amp;quot;ion cannon&amp;quot; modeled after Megatron&#039;s shotgun from &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, with the missile features a sculpted shotgun nozzle on the front section. It can be held in his hand or attached to the top of the truck cab or truck bed via 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In time-honored tradition, Prime&#039;s instructions depict the toy with an alternate &amp;quot;[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]&amp;quot; head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]&#039;&#039; and &amp;quot;Rusty&amp;quot; releases of the figure (see below). Additionally, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him with extra white/silver [[Paint operation|paint detail]]s, especially on his chest and wheel rims, as well as having gray upper arms with red details, among other differences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy, but slightly larger than his &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; toy&#039;s truck) he is quite tall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Movie Advanced Series&#039;&#039; toys, is dubbed &amp;quot;Classic Optimus Prime&amp;quot;, and opts for a deco closer to Prime&#039;s previous on-screen appearances, omitting the blue paint on his feet and hands to reveal the gray plastic underneath, and adding new paint details all over. Instead of painting it in clear light blue, his light-piping eyes are neutered with opaque light blue paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:The Autobots United 5 Pack includes another redeco of Voyager Class Evasion Mode Optimus Prime. This release features the faceplated headsculpt and, unlike the rest of the set, which strives for screen-accuracy, features a heavily Generation 1-inspired deco. Deco changes include replacing most of the blue &amp;amp; grey plastic into red, with blue paint applied on it, and his dark grey plastic is now a lighter shade. His Ion Cannon is now painted black to resemble his &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; toy&#039;s blaster, color-wise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He came in the BBTS shared exclusive &amp;quot;Autobots United&amp;quot; set along with screen-accurate redecos of [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] and [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]].&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction: Generations&#039;&#039; Leader Class toys, this is yet &#039;&#039;another&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;big&amp;quot; Optimus Prime figure. While smaller than the First Edition toy, this one features more silver and chrome paint in vehicle mode, a more poseable robot mode, and a Vector Shield accessory instead of the Sentinel Shield. Unlike the First Edition figure, Leader Class Optimus Prime&#039;s pauldrons and hip-skirts are formed from truck kibble, giving him a marginally smaller backpack. His accessories have roughly the same functionality as the First Edition toy, with his sword being hand-held and pegged onto his hands or storing underneath the truck, and his shield mounting onto his left forearm or storing on the back of the truck. Additionally, the sword sheath underneath the truck can be folded up and used in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It should be noted that this Optimus Prime can accommodate the [[Dual Energon Swords#Dark of the Moon|Battle Blade]] accessories to recreate the scene of him fighting against Galvatron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure was only made available as a store [[exclusive]] in parts of Europe, at least in the United Kingdom (at Argos) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Apparently, early plans for the shield were to have it colored gold and silver, but it was later changed to gray and red. When a hand-painted [[prototype]] of the toy was first displayed at the 2013 New York Comic Con, the shield was colored yellow and silver; in addition, the original versions of the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] also depict the gold color, but the versions featured on the back of the toy&#039;s [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy&#039;s colors for the shield. Meanwhile, the versions of the stock photos provided to websites and online retailers depict the shield in its final colors for the robot mode, whereas the vehicle mode photo is the unedited version featuring the shield&#039;s original colors. Furthermore, UK-based retailer Argos also featured unedited versions of the stock photos for both modes in one of its catalogs, causing some confusion among fans.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;argos&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/991761-uk-getting-different-leader-decos-optimus-yellow-vector-shield.html TFW2005 thread] about outdated stock photos used in Argos catalog.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Sometimes, the spring loaded &amp;quot;[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]&amp;quot; feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Movie Advanced Series&#039;&#039; toys, features numerous silver paint details, and alters the deco on his chest to be more screen-accurate, among many other changes. This figure&#039;s Vector Shield accessory is later redecoed as the &amp;quot;Golden Vector Shield&amp;quot;, as the giveaway item for the 2nd &#039;&#039;The Last Knight&#039;&#039; Campaign in Japan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime, he transforms into a Western Star &amp;quot;5700 OP&amp;quot; concept truck as seen in the film, in &#039;&#039;4 steps&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
::1. Press 2 buttons on the truck steps make the side panels pop out in position.&lt;br /&gt;
::2. Fold down the front section to transform it&#039;s robot mode legs.&lt;br /&gt;
::3. Fold back the rear parts to form the kibble.&lt;br /&gt;
::4. Position the arms into place, and Optimus will announce &amp;quot;Transform!&amp;quot;, with a classic transformation sound effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Like Stomp &amp;amp; Chomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers, activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He has notably less kibble than other &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime toys... from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so lucky, with large chunks of truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he&#039;s wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Sword of Judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; leader class Optimus, but cast in flat grey rubbery plastic rather than the transparent plastic and paint operations of the initial release. This Optimus Prime erroneously features blue paint on his feet instead of the screen-accurate red.&lt;br /&gt;

:This Optimus Prime matches the character&#039;s more cartoony and simplified appearance in the &#039;&#039;[[Q-Transformers (cartoon)|Q-Transformers]]&#039;&#039; cartoon. The &amp;quot;Watashi ni ii kangae ga aru&amp;quot; added to his name means &amp;quot;I have a good idea&amp;quot; (私にいい考えがある). A line originally spoken by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 Optimus Prime]] at various times in the Japanese dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]], it has a reputation as a catchphrase of his among Japanese fans and has been reused by many Optimus Primes since, including the Prime in the &#039;&#039;Q-Transformers&#039;&#039; cartoon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

He also uses the faceplated head and the dark gray-colored Ion Cannon used for the Evolution 2-pack/&#039;&#039;Platinum Edition&#039;&#039; 5-pack release. While his deco had taken cues from both the TakaraTomy release of Evasion Mode Optimus Prime and the &#039;&#039;Platinum Edition&#039;&#039; Breakout Battle figure, the weathering pattern bears a similar resemblance to his rusty version of the figure. Unfortunately, this release suffers from &#039;&#039;heavy&#039;&#039; mold degradation, particularly in the form of ill-fitting tabs around the truck front/shoulder area.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released to conclude the 10th Anniversary of the live-action film series, &#039;&#039;[[Masterpiece Movie Series]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime transforms from a 25 cm-tall robot (a little taller than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]) resembling how the character appeared in the first live action movie into a &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;Kenworth W900&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; modified Peterbilt 379, in 43 steps, with many of the engineering cues being distinctively based and improved on the [[#Leader_Class_toys_2|&#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader Class mold]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure has diecast metal in its feet, shins, and abdomen. It features pinstriped flames, articulated fingers, a headsculpt with a face that can rotate between masked and unmasked modes in a method identical to Armor Knight Optimus Prime&#039;s, and an abdomen that opens to reveal a chamber housing a diecast Matrix of Leadership. He comes with said Matrix, his &amp;quot;Rifle&amp;quot; (aka &amp;quot;Ion Cannon&amp;quot;), and a pair of &amp;quot;Energy Swords&amp;quot; that tab in behind his wrists in a technically inaccurate fashion (they should replace the hands entirely). All three weapons can combine and store on the trailer hitch in vehicle mode or robot mode. Speaking of, Optimus can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|trailer]] from &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; MP-10 Convoy. Possibly due to this feature, he is actually too short in robot mode, deviating from the scale much more than his peers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/mpm-3rd-party-scale-discussion.1194209/page-2#post-17949152 Thread discussion on the MPM scale], which lists Weijiang&#039;s upscaled knockoff of MPM Optimus deviating from the scale by being 0.93 cm too short; and taller than the real MPM by 3 inches.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:Though the figure does a much better job of conveying the on-screen character model than the ROTF Leader Class mold did, there are still a few inaccuracies—most notably the forearm and shoulder pad designs and the head/torso proportions. The final product also lacks certain paint details visible in stock and packaging imagery, such as the blue rings on his feet and the gold on his pelvis. In both the final product and stock photography, the silver detailing on the forehead is the wrong shape as there should not be a break in the silver. It should be noted that this mold does not combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Leader Class toys|Jetfire]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In addition, it is very difficult, if not impossible for the vehicle mode to tab together properly. The entire cab assembly breaks apart very easily as the tabs lack sufficient friction to keep it together, resulting in either a gap forming between the front windows and the hood or part of the hood raising up. This is due to a mold change seen in early prototypes and the toy packaging where the red abdomen sections tab in lower, inaccurately exposing the hinge between it and the chest windows. The pipes that are supposed to connect to the bottom of the smokestacks also don&#039;t swing out far enough to properly do so if the feet are tabbed together completely. Two sets of plastic rings on posts connect each of the shoulders to the torso - the ring that ends up on top in vehicle mode is slightly too thick and often filled with stress marks straight out of the packaging and can create stress marks on the torso piece it&#039;s connected to. The same ring can also make it &#039;&#039;extremely&#039;&#039; difficult to tab the cab together. Since the lower ring is on a separate part and still keeps the joint connected, it can be helpful to disassemble the figure and cut away the upper ring to alleviate both problems, but do so at your own risk. Since the windows don&#039;t tab in in vehicle mode, the chest piece, which is &#039;&#039;rather&#039;&#039;  thin and tabs in to the grille as well, is under an extreme amount of stress. This cause breakages on a few number of copies, specifically in the piece which swivels outwards on the secondary joint of the chest piece. While this breakage is rare, care should still be taken when transforming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy release replaces the dark gray plastic on the Hasbro version with lighter tan gray as well as adding some of the missing paint applications shown on the box, with the thighs and gas tanks still missing silver paint. The mold tolerances have been adjusted, and transforming to truck mode properly is possible with a degree of variation on some copies. The Hasbro and TakaraTomy versions both have misassemblies on the sleeper cabin hinges, where they are reversed, although this does not affect transformation. The TakaraTomy release is packaged in truck mode, whereas the Hasbro version is packaged in robot mode. Due to the changes made for the Takara release, it is theorised that the Hasbro version was rushed to meet the anniversary year and/or Toys &#039;R Us exclusivity deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Much like his ROTF ancestor, he is a frequent victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from clones that fix the issues above to high quality upscales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[Starscream (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|As]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|expected]], the [[:File:MPM4Optimus.jpg|Hasbro stock photos]] have the figure mistransformed in both modes. The backpack is a mess, the chest and torso bits aren&#039;t properly configured, and the smokestacks in truck mode aren&#039;t extended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the United States, Canada, and Hasbro&#039;s Asian markets, &#039;&#039;Masterpiece Movie Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime was exclusively available from [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]], whereas in Spain, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour. It&#039;s currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply &amp;quot;Toys-Shop&amp;quot;, but again might have been available online only.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The second &#039;&#039;Masterpiece Movie Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime transforms from a robot based on his appearance in the &#039;&#039;Bumblebee&#039;&#039; mid-credits scene into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film&#039;s ending scene, much like the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; toy [[#SS38|below]]. He comes with his &amp;quot;Ion Blaster&amp;quot; used in the Cybertron sequences in the film, which can be folded and stored behind his cab. He also includes a new [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#MPM12|Matrix of Leadership]], despite the Matrix never appearing or being mentioned in the movie. Similar to the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece Movies Series&#039;&#039; toy above, Optimus Prime can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP44|trailer]] included with MP-44 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|Convoy]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, due to reduced parts count and possibly cost-cutting measures, the trigonal [[kibble]] on his shoulders ends up slightly protruding on the vehicle mode. This also results in a somewhat amusing appearance for the truck mode, as the placement of the said kibble looks like it has a pair of cat-ears. The truck bed is also quite unfinished, having little semblance to the real thing. Additionally, he is one of the lightest(even compared to the carbots) MPM figures to date. For a MPM figure of this price and size, he has an unusually low count of die-cast parts, since he only has die-cast gas tanks(which are small) and a die-cast Matrix of Leadership.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For an MPM figure, his hands are rather compromised in articulation, as his index finger can only open to 90 degrees, lacking the double joint on it that most figures with a 3 finger-trigger finger split have. This may have been because his fingers needed to be posed at a 90 degrees pose for a secure grip on his matrix, but [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|other figures]] have been able to do it without the fingers needing to be locked, so this is purely a cost cutting measure done by Hasbro. Prime also has a design flaw in his wrists. Its flips out on a joint for transformation, but the joint is too weak to support the weight of the ion blaster. Combine that with a gaping hole in his arm underneath his wrists, his hands end up drooping downwards if Prime holds the blaster in a 90 degree or downwards arm angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hasbro [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLtuM8DJeY9/ stock photography] depicts much brighter and saturated colors, as well as clear blue windows. TakaraTomy stock photography (right), which was revealed months later, features darker, more film-accurate colors, and clear grey windows. Despite both versions of the toy using TakaraTomy&#039;s stock photography, only TakaraTomy&#039;s version includes the accurate grey windows, as well as unpainted red plastic sun visors. The box also features the peculiar (&#039;&#039;especially&#039;&#039; for a Masterpiece figure) call-out &amp;quot;Articulated Head&amp;quot; depicting Optimus just... turning his head to the left. The photography is also strangely low resolution compared to previous releases in the line, possibly a consequence of 2020 pandemic complications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was revealed on February 25, 2021 via live-stream. It is a [[Target]] exclusive in the United States and a [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] exclusive in Canada. The toy was reissued in the fall of 2024, $6 cheaper than its original price. &lt;br /&gt;

:This Optimus Prime is a &#039;&#039;minor&#039;&#039; redeco of the One-Step Changer figure, &#039;&#039;omitting&#039;&#039; the paint apps on the knees, the flames on his shoulders, and changing the robot mode chest&#039;s deco.

As with the first wave of the Turbo Changers, Optimus features a nearly invisible tampograph on his vehicle front, which can be revealed with [[Dragonstorm#MegaTurboChanger|Mega Turbo Changer Dragonstorm]]&#039;s UV-powered Cyberfire gimmick.&lt;br /&gt;

:Knight Armor Turbo Changer Optimus Prime is a Voyager-sized figure that transforms from truck to robot in just 2-steps: pulling his whole truck kibble to the front then fold down to complete the robot mode, although converting him back requires some few steps. His only articulation is the elbows, and he features 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm compatible hands. He also features a &amp;quot;Knight Armor&amp;quot; gimmick, which consists of his mask popping out to his head with the press of the button on his chest. Take note that you need to flip back the mask manually before you turn him back into Truck Mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy release of the figure features extensive paint applications to resembles his on-screen appearances, and his pop-out mask is now vacuum metallized with some gold details.&lt;br /&gt;

:Legion Class Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the first &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Legends Class figure, with the deco resembling the paint job from Optimus Prime&#039;s Western Star &amp;quot;5700 OP&amp;quot; concept truck. While the main body is identical to the figure, the arms and legs are newly tooled, with simple assemblies for the wheels. The retooled legs now features a more solid stopping point, which prevents the center front grill/legs to swing back further. It should be noted that his flame decals are &#039;&#039;painted over&#039;&#039; the side windows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The newly tooled legs also feature unreasonably long pegs to secure their connection in vehicle mode. They have a tendency to snap off over time, though this doesn&#039;t affect the toy too much.&lt;br /&gt;

Internationally, it was available in Hong Kong (possibly as a non-exclusive general retail release), at Walmart&#039;s subsidiary Asda in the United Kingdom, as a Prisma exclusive in Finland, and as a Walmart exclusive in Mexico. It was also listed at the websites of Dutch retailers Bart Smit and Intertoys (owned by the same parent company), but again, it&#039;s unsure if it was ever actually released in the Netherlands.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;Cybertron Optimus Prime&amp;quot; now features a darker grey plastic, and mostly shares the same paint mask to the original Deluxe class figure, with added paint details on his head and the mesh-like pattern on the front of his &amp;quot;entry&amp;quot; mode. The silver paint on his chest was slightly changed from the original and he lacks the paint on his feet, his &amp;quot;headlights&amp;quot;, and the top of his &amp;quot;entry&amp;quot; mode. Lastly, he features Cyberglyphics on his vehicle mode windows, and the rear sides of the vehicle. His flame attachment is now cast in translucent red plastic with orange sprays.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Although &#039;&#039;MechTech&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime&#039;s deco is similar to the initial release, some of his parts (robot shoulder flaps, chest piece/truck front) were recast in blue plastic (with the chest being painted red), and his paint applications on the pelvis, headlights &amp;amp; thighs are omitted. His front truck hood/backpack&#039;s deco is altered: the truck steps and the fenders were painted blue, and the gold gradients on the flame tampographs are removed, while he features additional flame tampos on both sides of his front hood, and an Autobot Insignia on his left robot shoulder. He still retains the light-piping gimmick, but cast in clear plastic, with the eyeballs being (halfheartedly) painted with clear blue. His MechTech weapon is cast in transparent orange plastic, with the exception of the scope/lever and the gun barrel, which remained opaque silver plastic due to being cast with unpaintable plastic. He also features Cyberglyphics on the left side of his vehicle mode front hood.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This Voyager-sized Optimus Prime has a similar transformation scheme to [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Generations|&#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Galvatron]], notably the shoulders, rooftop backpack, and the leg/wheels combo based on his Leader Class figure. He features a similar but different transformation scheme, which results in a somewhat clean robot mode, although most of his vehicle kibble hangs on his back. He also features the sword &amp;amp; the shield based on his final design in the movie, albeit the sword being painted similarly to the Armor Knight Optimus Prime&#039;s sword. His sword can store underneath his Vehicle mode or his robot mode backpack, while the shield can be stored on the truck&#039;s fifth wheel hitch, which can also tow the trailer included from the Japanese exclusive [[#VoyagerTrailer|Mechtech Voyager]]. Although the pectoral armor can be slightly pushed up a little bit further, the pieces have to actually stop at where the rectangular peg holes are located.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Surprisingly, this was also the first Hasbro exclusive transforming Movie Optimus Prime figure to be based on the final design seen in &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039;. He even features the forearms that Prime had before obtaining the Sword of Judgement, which unfortunately means that he is inaccurate to his appearance in the battle of Hong Kong and the entirety of &#039;&#039;The Last Knight&#039;&#039;. The sword&#039;s blade is still painted as the heated-up version from the concept art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like the larger &#039;&#039;First Edition&#039;&#039; figure, this toy is a rather egregious [[shellformer]], to the point where you can actually separate the robot mode from his vehicle shell if you &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; wanted to.&lt;br /&gt;

To that end, he features movie-accurate flame patterns, which are larger and more elaborate than the ones on the regular release or the SDCC exclusive, on his vehicle mode exterior and robot pectoral armor.

&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;San Diego Comic-Con 2017&#039;&#039; exclusive Optimus Prime figure is another redeco of the &#039;&#039;Premier Edition&#039;&#039; figure, which aims for a more movie-accurate look than the original by still sharing the same paint masks, but replacing the chest&#039;s deco with flames and adding extra paint applications on the legs, arms, chest, head, tire rims, both sides of the engine compartment, and the sword and shield... but for some reason still sports the movie-inaccurate blue &#039;collar&#039;, as well as the smaller, less accurate vehicle flame tampographs instead of the more movie-accurate ones used on Dark Optimus Prime. His Autobot insignia is also moved on the upper back section of the air dam. He is packaged in a stylish, display-case-like-box similar to later &#039;&#039;Transformers: Alternators&#039;&#039; releases and the Hasbro Toy Shop/SDCC 2011 exclusive figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hilariously, Optimus Prime also comes with an &#039;&#039;authentic tire piece&#039;&#039; from a Western Star 5700XE truck (no seriously, look it up.). His stock photo is also &#039;&#039;slightly&#039;&#039; mistranformed: his pectoral armor is not rotated properly in robot mode. Also, the fifth wheel hitch pieces seem to be missing on his robot mode stock photos.&lt;br /&gt;

:This redeco of the [[#Voyager Class toys 4|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Optimus Prime]] figure features a really unusual deco pattern consisting of red transparent tires, the vehicle front grill and fuel tanks (the fenders remained opaque red due to unpaintable plastic). Some of his parts like the vehicle front hood and the truck roof feature a pattern similar to the ones used for the [[Tech Spec]]s in the &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; toys. He features a new sword and shield accessory, which can be used to decode the patterns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the United Kingdom, this Optimus Prime was released as an Argos exclusive along with several other sets branded as part of the &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; [[subline imprint]]. His United States release was initially claimed to be exclusive to [[Target]] by online retailers from Asia, but even though the other &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; products eventually became available at Target, Voyager Class Optimus Prime was released as a [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] exclusive in the United States instead, complete with a &amp;quot;Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us exclusive&amp;quot; sticker. Also, both his United States and Asian releases lack the &amp;quot;Reveal the Shield&amp;quot; logo the United Kingdom release has (but still feature the &amp;quot;Reveal hidden images&amp;quot; call-out).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released exclusively in Asia, Shadow Spark Optimus Prime is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; [[#Leader Class toys 5|Leader Class Optimus Prime]], featuring dark grey plastics, weathered deco patterns, and some opaque plastic which was recasted from transparent plastics. He features a scratched Autobot insignia on the right side of his sleeper-cab, and a Cyberglyphic on the left side of the front hood. Some weathered parts does not match well with some other parts (the fenders, for example).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In May 2017, the figure was released as a lucky draw item by Coca-Cola, along with the limited edition cans, as part of China&#039;s promotion for the movie.

:This Optimus Prime is a somewhat/nearly screen-accurate redeco (dedeco?) of the Leader Class figure, but uses the original Leader mold instead of the Armor Knight retool, unfortunately. In comparison to the first &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Leader Class figure, his vacuum-metalized front truck bumper, sun visors, robot mode chest, smokestacks, and side tanks were omitted, revealing the grey plastic underneath. His chromed chest was also stripped of chrome for adding paint operations, his shield was unpainted, and both of his sword and truck mode windows were cast in colorless plastic. He also features some extra silver paint on his robot mode forehead, and his white-colored Autobot insignia is slightly tampographed on the left. And lastly, his light-piping eyes are neutered by blue paint.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID Number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;TLK-15&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Temenos Sword, Calibur Axe, Overshield/Fifth Wheel Hitch, Energon Sword (limited edition)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Calibur Optimus Prime is a retool of the Armor Knight Optimus Prime figure, itself a retool of the original &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Leader Class figure. In a clever bit of [[partformer|partforming]], the fifth wheel hitch now forms a handheld shield based on the one used in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], which results in a backpack-less robot mode. As such, the shield that came with prior versions has been omitted (though it&#039;s still fully compatible, of course). The figure can be transformed without partsforming if so desired, leaving a backpack like the original leader, but the sword will not store on his back due to the remolding. He also comes with an axe based on the one used in the third film.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The initial release of the figure comes with a limited edition Energon Sword. According to [https://amzn.asia/d/9lU57nG Amazon Japan&#039;s page] and the instructions, the included Energon Sword &amp;amp; Axe is compatible with &#039;&#039;Movie The Best&#039;&#039; MB-11 Optimus Prime figure (seen above), which basically makes Calibur Optimus Prime a weapon expansion pack for said figure. Said compatibility, however, makes the weapons(other than the sword)too big for this figure, since the ROTF Leader mold is bigger than this one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unlike the &#039;&#039;Movie Advanced Series&#039;&#039;&#039; Armor Knight figure, the blue plastic and red paint are less metallic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The back of the packaging features a small typo, notably the word &amp;quot;kinetic&amp;quot; being written as &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Kinetic&#039;&#039;&#039;k&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;. The bio also denotes the elemental metal as &amp;quot;Cyber-Matter&amp;quot; living metal, which is a term that originates from the [[Aligned continuity family]]. Oddly, TakaraTomy&#039;s stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout &amp;quot;battle figure&amp;quot; included with Telebi Magazine&#039;s [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Calibur Axe was later redecoed into &amp;quot;Bronze Calibur Axe&amp;quot;, as a giveaway accessory for the 3rd &#039;&#039;The Last Knight Final Battle Campaign&#039;&#039; in Japan. In 2018, Optimus Prime is released along with [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TLKLeader|Megatron]] as part of the TakaraTomy Mall exclusive &amp;quot;Optimus Prime VS Megatron&amp;quot; set. &lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Studio Series]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime transforms from a robot into a Peterbilt 379 semi-truck. He comes his [[dual Energon Swords]], which can be mounted onto his arms or store on the back of his robot mode or truck bed. The figure combines engineering concepts from his &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; [[#Voyager Class toys 5|Voyager Class figure]] with techniques previously used on &#039;&#039;Prime: First Edition&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Prime: First Edition|Optimus Prime]]. He also features a more subdued color scheme compared to other Optimus Prime figures. Like the rest of the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; figures, the figure prioritizes robot mode [[scale]] and thus stands shorter than his Voyager Class wavemate [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Starscream]].

:While the 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm compatible arms can fit with most weapons with the same post size, some of the weapons&#039; handles can barely fit on it due to either the slightly thickened tab or thin sculpted panels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The rear truck cabin/back kibble can turn slightly floppy over time in robot mode, as there are no tabs and holes to secure it. Despite being labeled as the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; version of the character, this mold is not meant to combine with the later released [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], although it can be achieved with some [[Fan mode|fiddling]]. However, it &#039;&#039;can&#039;&#039; carry (but not combine with) &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[#SS44|44 Optimus Prime]]&#039;s trailer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While stock photos and renders show the figure with a faceplate, this [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/1859790330757819/?type=3&amp;amp;theater image] posted by the Transformers Facebook page shows him with his mouth exposed. This was later found as a variant at least [http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/05/07/transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-faceplate-less-variant-images-363449 once]. A running change was made, [https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/variant-transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-with-blade-colour-difference/41133/ changing the blades to be more translucent]. The semi-translucent blades release features a date code &amp;quot;73461&amp;quot;, whereas the translucent orange blades version features a date code written as &amp;quot;80171&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:TakaraTomy&#039;s stock photo of the robot mode depicts the right elbow bent &#039;&#039;backwards&#039;&#039; instead of forwards. Ouch!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; (though sold under the first &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film&#039;s branding), this &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is an extensive retool of the figure above, featuring many new parts, namely a new backpack, chest piece, back of thighs, forearms, a (removable) abdominal area, and lower legs with a pair of non-transforming fenders. These new parts lead to [[Show-accuracy|a better resemblance]] to his appearance in the first two movies and allow him to combine with &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]] to form &amp;quot;Jetwing Optimus Prime,&amp;quot; while resulting in a somewhat more involved transformation. His color scheme features a much higher contrast than the previous release. Inexplicably, he has silver paint apps added on his forearms that actually make him &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; accurate than if it were left as the bare red plastic underneath, while forgetting to accurately paint a different section of his forearms blue. Unfortunately, as a trade-off for having a more accurate robot mode, his vehicle mode suffers; his front drive tires lift off the ground, he&#039;s missing the toolboxes behind his fuel tanks, some of his robot mode kibble is exposed beneath his doors, and several of the floodlights above his windshield are gone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Instead of Energon Swords, he now comes with an [[Ion blaster]] like that used in the battle of [[Mission City]]. It can be stored on various rectangular peg holes in Prime&#039;s vehicle mode or on the larger rectangular pegs on his cab nose/forearms or on the robot mode&#039;s back. While this Optimus figure can use the first mold&#039;s blades, the new molding prevents the swords from being properly stored on the robot&#039;s back, and using the intended &amp;quot;underslung&amp;quot; grip displaces his forearm armor slightly. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the highway fight with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the first &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film. Since the Leader Class figure below is a redeco of this one, it should come as no surprise that this one is fully compatible with the trailer and jet pack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The panels with the fuel tanks are connected to his back by small friction pegs, and have a tendency to pop off during transformation, though they can easily be reattached. This was fixed in later versions of the mold. As the front grills rely on a hook-and-tab assembly to complete the truck mode and combined with the fact that they&#039;re molded in translucent plastic completely painted over in silver, the painted tabs can wear down and break off during transformation, leaving a gap in the front of the truck mode. Care must be taken when combining him with Jetfire, as it can place much stress on the hinges that the grills are connected to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The packaging stock photo features him having a misassembled hip, which is facing backward. Speaking of misassembly, a small number of Optimuses have two left or right upper arms. These errors prevent the front section from fully transforming. This can be identified by viewing the front section while he&#039;s still in-package.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His rear wheels were later reused for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|&#039;&#039;Earthrise&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime]], while the front wheels appear to have been slightly retooled for use on the &#039;&#039;Earthrise&#039;&#039;&#039;s trailer as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus was reissued through [[Walmart]] in November 2025. The reissue does have the pinned back panels seen with later uses of the mold, and the package art has been updated slightly, most notably removing the cross-sell of &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Bonecrusher (Movie)#Studio Series|Bonecrusher]] that was on the back.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/possible-studio-series-ss-32-voyager-optimus-prime-reissue-found-at-us-retail.1284174/#post-23830862 Comparison between original and reissue boxes of SS-32, TFW2005]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The third &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is based on his appearance in &#039;&#039;[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]&#039;&#039;, and as such closely resembles the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 Optimus design]]. He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film&#039;s final scene. As a result, the truck frame is about half the length of the one used in the film, lacking the prominent gap between the gas tanks and the rear axle, but this makes him appear closer to the truck he turned into in G1. Optimus comes with the [[Ion blaster]] he is seen wielding in the film&#039;s Cybertron sequences and a backdrop featuring the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] where he meets up with Bumblebee. The blaster can peg into the fifth wheel hitch in vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While his truck mode scales with most of the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; brethren, Optimus&#039;s robot mode shares the same height as the other Optimuses in this section, which means that he towers over his original size in the film. Unlike his appearance in the movie, this Optimus&#039;s design closely resembles [[Mark Yang]]&#039;s concept art of the character, complete with flat feet. Unlike most of the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; figures, this Optimus doesn&#039;t have any insignia tampographed or sculpted on. The silver weathering on his stomach varies from figure-to-figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, the grey lower leg panels tend to disconnect/dislodge if the feet are swiveled, or if the pressure is applied downwards while standing. The silver-painted hinged panels on the sides of his truck mode (and to an extent, the painted crotch) are prone to chipping due to being involved in the transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Some versions of this figure feature tabs on the top of the inside of the front window frame, that have no hole to peg into on the robot torso, seeming to be remnants of a late-stage design change, that do interfere with vehicle mode holding together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was one of the items that were released as part of Hasbro&#039;s Transformers 35th Anniversary promotional mailer box&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/21/transformers-35th-anniversary-promo-box-in-hand-388546&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and was also given a repaint as part of TakaraTomy&#039;s own [[#35th Anniversary|35th Anniversary exclusive set]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was reissued as a GameStop exclusive shortly after the [[March 28]], [[2024]] fanstream.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the second toy with a new stomach area that is molded to be accurate to his appearance in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, complete with a new trailer forming his weapons platform and combat armor. His arsenal includes two cannons, an energon axe, an energon sword, a shield, and a slightly redecoed (de-decoed?) Ion blaster from the second toy, losing its blackened barrel. He also comes with a unique backdrop depicting his confrontation with the [[Driller]] in the Battle of Chicago. His fellow Leader Class Autobot, [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], comes packaged with a replacement &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;-accurate abdomen piece, allowing them to combine... though the piece is color-matched to Optimus&#039;s first &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; 05 release, a figure that lacks this figure&#039;s new molding and is thus incompatible with Jetfire. In addition to the new deco and molding, the hinges on his back that the panels with the fuel tanks are attached to now have pins, preventing the pieces from popping off when swiveling them into position during conversion. Care should still be taken when transforming the front grill, as the tab needed to hold it together still has the potential to break on this version of the mold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In terms of deco, Optimus features gradient orange paint on his forearms/truck front which the Voyager Class release didn&#039;t have, while the formerly transparent parts are now cast in opaque blue plastic, with both his real and [[kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|faux windows]] painted silver. Meanwhile, the CG stock renders feature several color and deco details that are inaccurate to the final toy; notably, the joints on his grille section are shown to be orange rather than gray, the windows are shown to be transparent rather than opaque, and all the weapons are shown to be painted, even though the only weapon that actually features &#039;&#039;any&#039;&#039; paint on the final toy is the sword. Conversely, both the CG render &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; the near-final stock photo of the robot mode show the new abdomen piece as being painted in a single red color, while the final product (including the TakaraTomy stock photos) have the details in the center section painted in movie-accurate silver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The CG render on the front packaging is a rather lazily edited version of the Optimus Prime art (complete with &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;-styled abdomen), with the Jetwing unit slapped on his back. There are also a few obvious design oversights, with no actual means of attaching the shield to Prime&#039;s arm in a shield-like manner, the handle of the axe colliding with the arm panel if pushed in all the way, and no official instructions on how to store the Ion blaster in the trailer. At least for the blaster, it can still use the ports on the truck as before, and there is sufficient space in the trailer itself to store the blaster or a few other accessories. And while Prime himself has been improved to prevent parts popping off, the dark grey &amp;quot;shoulder straps&amp;quot; on the Jetwing have a frustrating tendency to pop off due to the raised rectangular details directly under them, meant to hold them in place with friction but instead causing the part to flex and deform under pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Despite the figure&#039;s size classification, Prime himself is Voyager-sized (obviously, seeing as he&#039;s a retool of a previous &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Voyager). The Leader Class price point comes from the extra accessories that he comes packaged with.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;15th Anniversary&amp;quot; Optimus Prime is a redeco of the second &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; figure, featuring slightly minimized/altered paint applications and plastic color changes. Aside from that, he doesn&#039;t come with the Ion blaster included with the regular release but instead comes with the two swords included with the original &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; version of the mold, cast in a slightly more reddish clear orange and painted a brighter silver instead of gunmetal. In terms of deco, Optimus&#039;s metallic gray plastic is replaced with a light shade of grayish silver, the paint operations on his forearms and lower legs are omitted, and the previously colorless plastic used on the real/faux truck windows is now translucent black. The new blue paint used for most of the torso/truck cab is a noticeably different shade compared to the blue plastic, whereas the blue paint on the original release was a much closer match to the plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Interestingly, the robot mode stock render and photo show Optimus wielding his swords with the blades on the inside of the arms instead of the outside. Unlike the original SS-32 release, this release comes with the securely pinned back hinges used for the Leader Class figure. There has been one instance of yellowing on the grey plastic used, but it is not known if it is a widespread issue or an isolated instance. As with previous versions of this mold, the tabs that hold the front grill together in truck mode have the potential to break.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure comes in an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive 5-pack alongside redecoes of &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Bumblebee]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ironhide]], [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ratchet]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#SS15thAnniversary|Jazz]], released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the first live-action [[Transformers (film)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film]].

:&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; 15th Anniversary&amp;quot; Optimus Prime is another release of the [[#SS32|SS-32 mold]] with [[#Studio Series|SS-05]]&#039;s Energon swords, though this time both sport their original decos.

&lt;br /&gt;

Although this version of Optimus is technically for the first movie, its inclusion makes sense as this mold is the one that combines with Jetfire. The box meanwhile reuses SS-05&#039;s package art. The pack comes with a unique reversible backdrop with the first version of the &amp;quot;Pyramid Desert Battle&amp;quot; scene on one side and the &amp;quot;Shanghai Pursuit&amp;quot; scene on the other.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the 18th wave of &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Leader Class figures, Optimus Prime is based on his &amp;quot;knight&amp;quot; appearance in &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039;, specifically with the arm design prior to obtaining the Sword of Judgment, though he still includes the sword. He is about the same height as his prior &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Voyagers, filling out his price point with higher mass and parts count, including opening fingers and enough articulation to hold his sword with both hands. Easily missed, the truck hood on his backpack can be hinged up, which gives more room for his waist to rotate. His waist rotation does not include his crotch armor, which can make some poses look a little awkward. Curiously, his thigh armor has been incorrectly rendered as separate hip skirts like on his [[#Leader Class toys 5|2014 Leader Class mold]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He transforms into a licensed Western Star 5700EX truck in 44 steps. The fifth wheel hitch works with the trailers of his Generation 1 counterpart&#039;s most [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Earthrise|recent]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Studio Series|toys]], though they both end up hanging at an angle. He can&#039;t tow the trailer of his [[#SS44|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; version]] due to that trailer’s larger peg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus includes the Sword of Judgement, the Vector Shield, a silver-painted Energon blade, and a storage adapter piece. The sword features a removable hilt so figures without opening hands can wield it. The Vector Shield can be reassembled into its cannon mode using 5 mm connections. The sword and shield connect to the adapter piece to store on his robot back (this unfortunately results in his roof panel sticking up obtrusively behind his head) and in the truck hitch. The Energon blade can tab into his wrist and stores on tabs on either side of his back (though this risks chipping the paint on those tabs) and on tabs at the back of the truck mode.Undocumented, the blade can also attach to an otherwise unused tab underneath the shield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus&#039;s large kibble backpack can be easily popped off its mushroom peg to give him a cleaner profile at the cost of weapon storage. There is also a [https://youtu.be/Kwk2zBPpL7o&amp;amp;t=1045 fan mode] that provides a more secure (and cleaner!) storage for the Sword in truck mode. This is done by opening the back of the truck cab and threading the hilt end of the sword into the oddly-perfectly sized space between the smokestacks and back of the cab, and then closing it back up. The adapter piece with shield attached can still be slid onto the blade and attached securely onto the fifth wheel hitch. Care should be taken not to damage the Sword when transforming back to robot mode, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus is missing some sculpting on the smokestacks that is present in the instructions, as well as having the tips of his smokestacks trimmed off. His official product description includes two major errors: the first mislabels Optimus&#039; truck mode as a Western Star 4900EX rather than a 5700EX. The second is the mention of a swappable head gimmick, which designer Evan Brooks quickly clarified would not be the case.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citesocial|quote=Hello! That description seems to be an error. He doesn&#039;t come with an alternate head.|link=https://twitter.com/TFHypeGuy/status/1879335782542168556|name=Evan Brooks (via TFHypeGuy)|site=Twitter|year=2025|month=01|day=14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to being larger and heavier than previous Voyagers, this Optimus can barely ride &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Grimlock (AOE)#Studio Series|Grimlock]], another Leader Class figure from years prior. Fortunately, a Titan Class version of [[Grimlock (AOE)#SSTitan|Grimlock]] was released the next year, featuring a dedicated spot and peg for this Optimus to ride!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus was first teased at the October 2024 MCM Comic Con London, before being officially announced on [[January 13]], 2025. Pre-orders went live the next day.&lt;br /&gt;

He comes with the updated forearms and biceps (though his hand armor was not retooled to match), an unmasked headsculpt, Quad Barrel Shotgun, and wrist blade based on &#039;&#039;The Last Knight&#039;&#039;, omitting the Energon sword. In addition to his red war paint, he features a darker color scheme to signify his brainwashing by Quintessa and further differentiate him from the prior release. Due to all the new parts being cast in blue plastic, he is even &#039;&#039;more&#039;&#039; blue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For the first time ever, Nemesis is designated as a Decepticon on his packaging, though he retains his Autobot insignias on the figure itself. Hasbro stock photography (right) has a bent left antenna.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to its simplified transformation, Optimus&#039; robot shoulder parts ended up sticking out from his truck mode, and his upper cabin panel ends up being integrated with his head.

:This &#039;&#039;Premium Finish&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is a redeco of the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|SS-05]] mold, replacing the more subdued color with additional silver paint operations (notably the head and gas tanks) and extensive details to closely resemble his on-screen appearance in the second film. Despite this, he is missing notable red and silver paint apps on his inner legs and still has incorrectly colored forearms much like his Studio Series counterparts. He comes with two of the same Ion Blaster accessory included in the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS32|second &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Voyager mold]] in addition to the two swords from the first release. The paint on the Energon Swords&#039; 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm handles are slightly reduced to prevent possible paint chipping.&lt;br /&gt;

While the mold is unchanged, there are some very slight deco differences. The blue plastic is slightly darker and red slightly lighter, while the red paint used on the abs is a lot more matte and desaturated. Oddly, the instructions states that the set transforms in 63 steps, whilst the original lists 44.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Sam Smith]] (Hasbro), [[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[May 16]], [[2023]]&#039;s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPFnqhvXhTs Hasbro Pulse Transformers Fanstream] on YouTube, with [[Evan Brooks]], [[Ben MacCrae]], and [[Sixo]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Released as part of the &#039;&#039;[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]&#039;&#039; subline, Optimus Prime is now based on his appearance in &#039;&#039;Rise Of The Beasts&#039;&#039; - reusing only the windshield, wheels, and some transformation cues from [[#SS38|SS-38 Optimus Prime]]. He is rather impressively made using only 4 new molds compared to the usual 9. Optimus includes a new blade and arm cannon accessory. The blade can be handheld or mounted on his wrists, and both accessories can be used on either arm or stored on his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a Freightliner FLT. Both accessories can be stored in the truck bed. The vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed in the stock images; the panels with the Autobot symbols on the front of his arms should be folded down and the fuel tanks in his legs should be folded out. He shares some transformation elements with MPM-12 Prime above, particularly in the arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure is rather notorious for a number of design choices that are questionable at best, and outright designs flaws at worst. The shoulder articulation is extremely limited, resulting in him only being able to shrug when his arms are raised to the sides. Due to the mold and budget limitations, the truck has some prominent kibble in the rear and lacks a fifth wheel hitch. In some copies, his transformation scheme causes his rearmost tires to lift off the ground. The instructions imply the chest panels open out 90 degrees, but they only open to about 45. There&#039;s enough clearance and the plastic is thick enough that it shouldn&#039;t break if forced, but don&#039;t try to force it regardless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also features design flaws in the grey panels on each forearm designed to open and allow the transformation of the hands. If opened all the way, a surface on the interior of each panel obstructs the fist you&#039;re trying to fold out or in and places undue stress on the wrist joint which can lead to Prime&#039;s hands snapping off at the base of their mushroom peg connection. So exercise caution and only open these grey panels to 45 degrees which paradoxically affords more clearance, rather than the full 90 to try and avoid this. There&#039;s also clearance issues between those panels and the roundel in the elbow which can pop the flaps off if the elbow is anything but straight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Whether by coincidence or by design, his chest can open up along with a third panel (that includes a faux grill not seen in either mode for some reason) in a manner that replicates his Matrix chamber in the 1986 movie, though no Matrix of Leadership toys can fit inside without impeding his transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the United States, this figure is exclusive to [[Target]] stores like the rest of the &#039;&#039;Buzzworthy Bumblebee&#039;&#039; line, though a small quantity was also offered for preorder via [[Hasbro Pulse]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:If you really wanted to, you can swap the head with SS-38 Optimus to give that one a more accurate head, since they share the same sized ball joint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As per [[Hasbro]] designer [[Evan Brooks]] in the [[Hasbro Pulse]] livestream debuting &#039;&#039;[[Studio Series]]&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Rise of the Beasts&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)#Optimus Primal|Optimus Primal]], &amp;quot;spare space on the tooling&amp;quot; was used to pack in an axe accessory with Primal specifically intended for this figure that was costed out of the initial release.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[June 20]], 2023&#039;s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjLY0uamTKM Hasbro Pulse Transformers Fanstream] on YouTube, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Mark Maher]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Rich Pellegrino]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:Released as part of the first wave of &amp;quot;Core&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (toyline)|Rise of the Beasts]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime is based on early control art for the movie, and thus comes with his Ion Blaster accessory (He would end up having an arm mounted cannon in the film), which can be wielded in his hands, mounted on the 5 mm port on his back for robot mode storage, or mounted on the trailer hitch for vehicle mode storage. Due to him being based on control art, his mask&#039;s Cybernetic details and accessory is different from the movie. His gas tanks &#039;&#039;may&#039;&#039; have a tendency to pop off, so don&#039;t pull on them too hard during transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus is mostly molded in gray plastic, with most of his red and &#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039; of his blue details being painted on. Care should be taken when handling the figure, as the black paint on his crotch is prone to chipping over time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Prime is compatible with most of the recent trailers released with his fellow Primes, but they all end up hanging at an angle as the trailer hitch is elevated up too far due to his feet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed in the image to the right, the fuel tanks that are on the back of his legs in robot mode should be folded out for vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;

Unlike most other Robosen &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; product, this Optimus does not transform, leaving him stuck in robot mode. He&#039;s nevertheless still a vague in-between of &amp;quot;toy&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;high-end showroom tech&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

The Corvette C7 GT3-R mode features a new grill, sides, and a detachable spoiler that can attach to a new gun accessory. The gun stores on the back of the car. This toy still includes the dual SMGs from the original Crosshairs toy, which can store on the &amp;quot;coattails&amp;quot; of Optimus&#039;s &amp;quot;trench coat&amp;quot; in both modes.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*The original design for what would become &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;&#039;s [[#UltimatePrime|Ultimate Optimus Prime]] toy was significantly different. As Hasbro&#039;s toy designers did not know the purpose of the trailer in the film yet, they created a trailer that opened up to reveal a rotating cannon that Optimus would sit in. Once it was revealed to become a jetpack, the designers had to rush to redesign the toy. Takara&#039;s take became [[#Supreme Class toys|Jetwing Optimus Prime]], though it is currently unknown if theirs was also a last minute change.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citesocial|link=https://twitter.com/playwiththistoo/status/1595146431534600199|quote=That Hasbro trailer was very last minute. The original trailer opened up to a rotating cannon Op could sit it which was a far superior design. Takara nailed it with their take.|site=Twitter|name=Rik Alvarez|year=2022|month=11|day=22}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;&#039;&#039; starred in a film series that made billions of dollars. Woohoo!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; (2007)==&lt;br /&gt;
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only &#039;&#039;Movie&#039;&#039; Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Legends Class toys===&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Japanese name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;EZ Collection Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Legends class Optimus Prime is an &#039;&#039;extremely&#039;&#039; simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in [[robot mode]]. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy&#039;s [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver&#039;s side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. His hands are designed to hold 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm-compatible weapons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy&#039;s subsidiary Subarudo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Based upon the &amp;quot;[[Protoform]]&amp;quot; (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his &amp;quot;entry&amp;quot; mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime&#039;s windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the &amp;quot;vehicle&amp;quot;, creating the illusion of a flaming comet&#039;s tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth, with an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble saying &amp;quot;Exclusive movie poster!&amp;quot;. It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Aaron Archer designed this toy in a single day; it was the last toy he personally worked on.

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Optimus Prime mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[e-HOBBY]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic its frozen state in the &amp;quot;coldness&amp;quot; of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the &amp;quot;entry&amp;quot; mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear &#039;&#039;blue&#039;&#039; plastic, with the tail end being covered in &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; paint.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the third wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;]] Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into on-screen. His driver cabin now features a small interior with an opening driver-side door with a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver&#039;s side door is opened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg onto his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a &amp;quot;Supermetal finish&amp;quot;, resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved &#039;flame&#039; paint decorations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for &#039;&#039;20th Anniversary&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime. The package also includes a Robo-Vision Decoder. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy has been retroactively declared part of the &#039;&#039;Premium Series&#039;&#039; of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:A gold-chromed version of the Voyager Optimus Prime toy was available as part of the same Lucky Draw contest as the Golden Protoform Optimus (see above) in the December 2007 issue of &#039;&#039;TV Magazine&#039;&#039;. Limited to only 3 pieces, it is insanely rare. The photographed sample here features a chromed truck grill, while a boxed unit has an unchromed grey grill; the owners of both pieces, the Mapes Brothers of [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/ Transformers @ The Moon], believe both are genuine TakaraTomy toys, so it is unclear if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.&lt;br /&gt;

: Released as part of the &#039;&#039;Allspark Power&#039;&#039; refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the [[transformation]], this figure actually ends up being &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can&#039;t have your cake and eat it too, folks.&lt;br /&gt;

: A second Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, the gray molded pieces were recolored beige-grey, and multiple parts that were previously molded in blue and red (the chest, shoulder pads, and leg interiors) had their mold colors swapped, with extra [[paint operation]]s to make up the difference. As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the sculpt, in a &amp;quot;doing things differently to achieve a very similar end result&amp;quot; sense.

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released in the first wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;]] Leader Class toys, this Optimus Prime, at the time, was the most accurate representation of the CGI designs&#039; complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [https://web.archive.org/web/20070814100030/http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His [[Ion blaster]] weapon is stored in the rear of the truck&#039;s bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel hitch is sculpted in the rear of the truck. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime&#039;s legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus&#039;s final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime&#039;s eyes, accompanied by a &amp;quot;powering up&amp;quot; sound effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints, and ankles. His hands even have individually articulated fingers and thumbs!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the &amp;quot;[[AllSpark Power]]&amp;quot; second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers.

&lt;br /&gt;
:The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a [[retool]] and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The paint deco is... unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners, and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unlike the initial &#039;&#039;Premium Series&#039;&#039; toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment. The instructions still depicts the original Leader Class mold&#039;s head.&lt;br /&gt;

Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro&#039;s Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs.

&lt;br /&gt;
:[[Fast Action Battlers|Fast Action Battler]] Power Hook Optimus Prime is a (roughly) Deluxe sized figure made for younger children than the rest of the mainline and was designed to have a quick conversion and an action feature. This actually translates to him being made of a series of Automorph mechanisms that facilitate what is for the most part, a one step transformation. Just split the front of the truck along the seam and Optimus&#039; chest and arms swing into place while his feet pop out. The sides of the truck even feature little sculpted arrows to remind you what to do! He has a little string attached to his missile tied to his &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; to let you imagine he&#039;s reeling things in with his hook. It also means little ones don&#039;t lose it, but other figures in the line featured firing missiles which weren&#039;t tied to anything, so that&#039;s probably not why it&#039;s there. The launching hook isn&#039;t Prime&#039;s only gimmick though, as his waist is spring loaded in one direction for a punch (or maybe even kick) attack. For whatever reason, the balls in his hip joints are cast from clear blue plastic so they may be a point of fragility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unsurprisingly, he is relatively inaccurate to the film&#039;s design.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Trans-scan]]ning Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a &amp;quot;[[core body]]&amp;quot;. To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be transform into his meteor-like &amp;quot;entry mode&amp;quot;. This mode can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime&#039;s Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. Compared to the overly simple transformation of the protoform mode, his truck mode&#039;s transformation can be described as an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging &#039;&#039;mess&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;Optimus Prime Figure&amp;quot; (オプティマスプライム・フィギア)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Named as such in &#039;&#039;Transformers Generations 2009&#039;&#039; Vol. 2, page 52.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; is a redeco of [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039;]] [[Spychanger]] [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]], transforming into a Western Star 4964EX truck. Like most Spychangers, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy has been &#039;&#039;extensively&#039;&#039;, if not &#039;&#039;ridiculously&#039;&#039; painted up to resemble the live-action version Optimus Prime as closely as possible, also making use of metal-flake paint for extra sheen. Of note is the [[tampograph]]ed detailing on his chest resembling movie Prime&#039;s distinctive chest design. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy was a [[campaign item|promotional freebie]], exclusively available in Japan with a pre-order for the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]&#039;&#039; DVD/HD-DVD from Paramount Pictures Japan.&lt;br /&gt;

: Made under license by [[RadioShack]]. The three-function infrared remote, in Optimus Prime&#039;s signature colors, gives you control of the truck with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a truck styled after the Movie character, it also transforms to robot mode.

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; Legends class Optimus Prime is a much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn&#039;t inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy. It should be noted that he was molded in only one paintable plastic color, with red and blue deco patterns decked on it. The top of the truck&#039;s bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn&#039;t mentioned in the instructions, though they&#039;re hardly needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Compared to the final product, stock photos of the figure loses blue paint operations on his knee armor. This mold was also used to make [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Darkside Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event. Optimus also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen EZ Collection sets. And like all the first waves, he comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the Revenge of the Fallen toyline. His pair of legs is also mistranformed to fit in the bubble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Malaysia, this toy was one of the four Legends Class toys to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He could be obtained starting from the 12th of July, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be warned, there is a very convincing-looking [[knockoff]] that&#039;s been making the rounds. While the paint applications are pretty much identical to the real deal, the pegs on the legs/trunk front can be a little too tight when attached. in some worst cases; it can break off if attempted to pull off by force. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|first movie&#039;s toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot [[insignia|logo]] on the side of the truck&#039;s bunk, and hanzi (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word &amp;quot;上海将军&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;Shanghai General&amp;quot;, while &amp;quot;大将&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;Grand general&amp;quot;. The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Japanese version of the toy, named &amp;quot;Optimus Prime Revenge Edition&amp;quot;, was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail &#039;&#039;Revenge&#039;&#039; toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the [[tampograph]]ed Chinese.&lt;br /&gt;

:An &amp;quot;Asia&amp;quot; version of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Voyager-Class Optimus Prime (see above) was released in a two-pack, except with different writing on him. The writing on this version &amp;quot;勇猛果敢 武士道&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;brave and fierce, resolute and courageous, bushido&amp;quot;, which interestingly can be read in Chinese and Japanese with the same semantic meaning, albeit differing pronunciations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.tfw2005.com/2010/01/30/revenge-of-the-fallen-optimus-prime-and-ravage-redecos-169082&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which is very fitting for Optimus Prime.

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime would have been a redeco of the 2007 Optimus Prime Voyager-Class mold in a similar style to the Leader-Class Buster Optimus Prime (see below), with a much more accurate and detailed paint scheme, including white stenciled flames. He would have come with a set of [[Jetfire (Movie)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]] armour parts to form the powered-up Optimus Prime seen at end of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039;, and due to not having to form Jetfire&#039;s robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie&#039;s design of them than the leader class Jetfire toy could manage. While not combined to Optimus Prime, the armour can be arranged to form a sort of weapon emplacement mode or a jet engine on the back of Optimus&#039;s vehicle mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie&#039;s Leader-class Optimus Prime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie&#039;s [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime&#039;s entire pectoral region &amp;quot;flexes&amp;quot;, lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot; in [[Peter Cullen]]&#039;s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just &amp;quot;Optimus Prime&amp;quot;; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime&#039;s arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime&#039;s arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable. The blades are removable by unscrewing the three screws on the arm lower panel. Removing the blades makes the arms swivel. The flip-out blades would be omitted in the Jetwing and Striker releases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro&#039;s photos is that the sun visors above Prime&#039;s windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime&#039;s lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Overall, the robot mode of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who&#039;s your daddy? He is.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] to form Jetpower Optimus Prime by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy. It is best to not constantly attach and remove Jetfire&#039;s missile gun on the pin of Optimus arm since the pressure applied will bend the pin holding the arm panel of the hood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rotf optimus stock photo 1.jpeg|thumb|right|upright=1]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Like several new-mold &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro&#039;s stock photos of the hand-painted [[prototype]] (pictured right), the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. The rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime&#039;s CG design. The lower arms were originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Finally, his fingers are no longer articulated, and instead the entire hand is now one molded piece. The articulated fingers would later be used for the &#039;&#039;Asia Premium Series&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Movie The Best&#039;&#039; releases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As a result of striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime ends up being remarkably complex for the time, with the figure essentially exploding into a series of chunks and panels that need to be aligned just right in order to come together in truck mode. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even &#039;&#039;harder&#039;&#039;. Also, let us not forget that, upon transforming him back to robot mode, he will declare his identity over and over and over and over and over until you&#039;re finished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release. This version can also attach [[Energon star]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The entire mold became a victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from upscaled (and sometimes simplified) molds to high-quality clones. Several of his redecoes/retools below also suffers from this. &lt;br /&gt;

:This version of Leader-class Optimus Prime features a new lower face sculpt that lacks a [[Mouthplate]], as well as the replacement of his fuel tank/exhaust assemblies with new, transforming versions that can combine into his ion blaster/barrage cannon. To the simultaneous pleasure and displeasure of people who had already purchased the first release of Leader-class &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime, Buster Optimus Prime features an extensive paint job that closely matches Prime&#039;s appearance on the big screen, including covering almost all of his grey plastic with silver paint or chrome, expanding and outlining all of the flame tampographs white for greater accuracy to [[Industrial Light &amp;amp; Magic|ILM]]&#039;s computer model, and generally painting in small details, nooks and crannies that were neglected on the first release due to cost-cutting reasons. The red and blue plastic colors also vary from the original release, to better match his film appearance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market-[[exclusive]] Leader Class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (Movie)#JetfireBuster|Jetfire]] and a slightly altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but unlike the standalone Buster Prime, has a head with a faceplate, itself containing more paint details than the first release of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version &#039;&#039;doesn&#039;t&#039;&#039; use the improved version of Optimus&#039; [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This release of Buster Optimus Prime was susceptible to a paint scraping issue on the silver painted slide-out barrel of his blaster. This problem was fixed for the [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|DOTM Re-release]] by relocating the silver paint app from the barrel to the inside wall of an exposed gas tank that had been previously left as unpainted grey plastic. The black paint app on the barrel was left unchanged. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In mid 2010, this set was released in Australia. In early 2011, it was released in the Philippines. In late 2011, [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|this set]] was [[Rebranding|re-released]] in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; [[packaging]].&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the second wave of 2010 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Voyagers, Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design, while also being much more movie accurate than the previous Voyager incarnations. He features two [[Dual Energon Swords|energon swords]] made of soft plastic, similar to his Leader Class incarnation, albeit not spring-loaded. They can be detached from the mushroom joints they&#039;re on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also has a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] in his chest which is made of unpainted gray plastic. In an awesome homage, the Movie Matrix rests on a stand molded to look like its Generation 1 incarnation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two &amp;quot;[[barrage cannon]]s&amp;quot;. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime&#039;s transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime&#039;s head magically clipping through his chest to transform. The instructions also neglect to mention that his heel/bumper pieces must be slid out until they &#039;&#039;click&#039;&#039;, making the figure just that bit more stable, and that the rotating truck door panels on his upper arms can be pulled further out (but not off) from their sockets, allowing more space for the panels to swing around his hood-arms during transformation. It should be noted that the chest windows on all releases of this sculpt are prone to slight cracking, often out of the packaging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The TakaraTomy &#039;&#039;Autobot Alliance&#039;&#039; release of this toy has some significant differences. Color-wise, the red plastic is in a darker shade, his shin and wheel joints are grey rather than Hasbro&#039;s bronze, and the Matrix of Leadership has been painted silver. More immediately noticeable is that the dual energon swords have been replaced with a pair of battle hooks, similar to 2010&#039;s Leader Class Optimus Prime (see below). However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the swords rather than the hooks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the first wave of &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Leader class toys, this [[retool]] of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader Class Optimus Prime features the head from [[#BusterOptimus|Buster Optimus Prime]], and has had his blades replaced with semi-articulated Battle Hooks for face-destroying action! He has a darker paint job and sports black splotches on his body and head to signify battle damage. However, due to these extra &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; release were omitted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime!&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;We must stop the Decepticons!&amp;quot; The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated &amp;quot;Optimus Prime&amp;quot; sound clip as the original release. To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about &#039;&#039;anywhere&#039;&#039; outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia). The box also mentions racing sounds, which may or may not be referring to the button-activated diesel engine noises carried over from the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; version of the figure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version uses the TakaraTomy version of the instructions, which improved upon the original Leader-Class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: During the period between [[December 26]] 2010 and [[January 31]] 2011, Hasbro ran their &amp;quot;[[Supercharge Your Holidays]]&amp;quot; promotion: for every $20 spent on Hasbro-branded product, customers could receive a free, random product from a list provided by Hasbro. Among the items on the list was &amp;quot;Transformers Activator &amp;amp; Speed Stars Mini Vehicle&amp;quot;. According to [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=75487 this discussion thread on Allspark.com], Rally Rumble Optimus Prime (as the figure is listed in the thread) was one of the figures distributed. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released as part of the first wave of the [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander class figures, this Optimus Prime is a roughly Scout-sized figure. He comes with a jetpack that can combine with both his truck and robot modes. The jetpack attaches via [[C joint]] clips, and the jetpack can transform in and out of a winged configuration when Optimus is in truck mode. Optimus himself features C joint bars for his smokestacks and trailer hitch, as well as bars on the top of his headache rack, while his hands and jetpack can hold/mount his rifles via C joint-related 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm clips/holes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DOTM 3DPreview Cyberverse OptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|right|150px|These glasses allow Optimus to see the aliens in his midst. Wait a minute..]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus was first released as a &amp;quot;Limited Edition Preview&amp;quot; in [[Calendar|March]] [[2011]], over two months before the full release of the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; toyline on [[May 16]], 2011. He comes packaged with a pair of {{w|Anaglyph image|Anaglyph}} 3-D glasses for use on the transformers.com website, but they cannot be used to view 3D movies in cinemas. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy is also notorious for being a shelfwarmer in a small number of Walmart stores for 8 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure also saw regular release, with no changes of the figure but lacks 3D glasses.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe&lt;br /&gt;
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], Deluxe Class Optimus Prime features a high range of motion, with ball jointed shoulders and hips, swivels at the neck, knees, and feet, and double swivels in the elbows. As a result of the transformation process, he can also rotate at the waist, though this is hindered considerably by his &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded &amp;quot;Automorph&amp;quot; feature in his head, if the truck kibble pushes the small grey switch from his back before splitting the chest into half. And due to how close the head of the faceplate and the front unpaintable piece is, Optimus&#039; &amp;quot;nose&amp;quot; section has a tendency to chip off after many transformations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime features a [[MechTech]] Blaster that can convert into an Energon Battle Axe reminiscent of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 character]]&#039;s [[Energon-axe|iconic weapon]], though the weapon cannot be locked in battle axe mode. There is also a pair of C joint rods on the underside of both forearms. His MechTech blaster can plug into the port on each of his arms or be held in either hand in robot mode, or plug into one of two holes on his truck roof/robot shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:After step 5, the instructions did not mention that you should fold back the shoulder panels to form the sleeper part until the 11th step. Care must be taken while transforming the legs: the small peg located on the lower leg can be snapped off due to the peg being slightly thick to accommodate with the hole. Also, take note that Optimus Prime cannot wield 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm weapons with longer posts, as the way that his pinky finger is molded prevents the post from pegging down through his hands. Also, take note that the legs&#039; sculpted small rectangle peg (the one that locks the robot mode legs in place) is prone to warping if care is not taken during transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The hand-painted prototype photos from both the packaging and the instructions shows that Prime had long smokestacks, but it was shortened for safety reasons in the final product.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]&#039;s weapon. This figure was also sold at Universal theme parks in new packaging with &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]&#039;&#039; branding. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.&lt;br /&gt;

:The &amp;quot;Standard&amp;quot; version sports an extremely detailed &amp;quot;premium&amp;quot; and screen-accurate paint job, while the Black version sports a black deco that makes him look very much like [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|if he is dead]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; Voyagers, Optimus Prime transforms into an unlicensed modified Peterbilt 379 semi-truck, with heatshield details in his sculpting and translucent solar panels on various parts of his body and huge gas tanks. Optimus himself is differently proportioned, having larger feet and a smaller torso and arms. He also features some [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|faux-kibble/parts]]: His actual windshield chest is being covered by a sculpted panel featuring his characteristic deformed windshield-chest, and a pair of sculpted tires on his thighs. His pair of optics is designed to have a light-piping gimmick, but it was rendered useless since it was painted in smoke gray on top of the colorless transparent plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a large [[MechTech]] Ion Blaster that can convert into a &amp;quot;Battle Cannon&amp;quot;. Like all of the MechTech Voyager class toys, this deployed form can lock into place. Specifically, the weapon must be pressed all the way in and rotated to lock it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Japan, he was released as &amp;quot;Space Optimus Prime&amp;quot;,&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime / MechTech Trailer&#039;&#039;&#039; (MechTech Voyager, [[May 14]], 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;DA-03&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; MechTech Ion Blaster/Energy Blade, MechTech trailer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Release exclusively in Japan, this Optimus Prime is a [[retool]] of the figure above, removing the heat shield and solar panels, as well as replacing any rocket booster parts (such as his heels) and gas tanks with normal truck parts. His light-piping eyes are painted in translucent light blue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also has a new [[MechTech]] Ion Blaster with a flip-out [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], and like all Voyager Class MechTech weapons, it can lock into place by latching one of the levers to the body of the gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His MechTech [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|trailer]] opens up much like Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s trailer (as well as being able to stand up to harken back to the Generation 1 [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]&#039;s upright mode), includes storage for many MechTech weapons inside and out, and is able to transport up to two Deluxe class (or one smaller Voyager) Autobots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The flame deco on Optimus&#039; forearm parts (hidden by the wheels) are flipped in the stock photos, which is present in the vehicle mode. The updated version of the photo (seen in the packaging) features the correct deco. Meanwhile, all of the stock photos of the Ion Blaster/Energy Blade (sans the extra step instruction) depicts the blade as a painted opaque piece.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The instructions also depict his fuel tank assemblies being positioned like the first figure&#039;s gas tanks, though you can swivel them frontwards for a better appearance, as seen in the stock photo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure omits the extended pieces of the side doors in vehicle mode (the ones which can be seen above the gas tanks in robot mode), leaving the sides of the robot mode&#039;s chest exposed. There was a variant version which has the extended pieces, covering the gaps behind the front wheels in truck mode.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze-p4S9Lm7c]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

As part of the set&#039;s lunar theme, reflections of stars are painted across his vehicle mode sides and on his windshield, with a sharp reflection of [[Earth]]&#039;s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in one of his windows. This time, his [[Matrix of Leadership]] is cast in orange plastic. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This exclusive has a peculiar and common error in that the arm hooks&#039; hubs stick out farther than they should, causing a gap that runs down the middle of the cab&#039;s nose in vehicle mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech trailer]], as the original mold has no trailer hitch to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus comes with a &amp;quot;bonus value&amp;quot; Deluxe Class toy, [[Comettor (DOTM)|Comettor]]. The pair together cost a dollar less than a regular Voyager Class toy. It was also available at Galeria Kaufhof department stores in Germany, with Comettor &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; highlighted as a &amp;quot;bonus&amp;quot; figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In [[Australia]], this release was available at [[Kmart]] for a considerably lower price than a regular Voyager Class toy.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Fireburst Optimus Prime is a redeco of the standard &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Optimus Prime, sporting a darker shade of blue and a &amp;quot;burning&amp;quot; color scheme that includes replacing all translucent blue parts with translucent orange. Because of this, his light-piped eyes were neutered by opaque light blue paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a MechTech rifle that converts into a large battle axe, and can be locked in by pulling the lever all the way in and tilting it into a gap to the left. The rifle has a separate flip-out handle, while the axe uses the rifle&#039;s long barrel as the handle, meaning that Optimus can grip the axe with both of his hands. This weapon was also retooled in a running change, adding a stop to the handle instead of relying solely on the gear system to prevent the locking assembly from flying off into parts unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;DA28&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Eliminator Gun &amp;amp; Assault Blaster (forms [[Mega Striker]]), shield/battle shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Labeled as a &amp;quot;[[Triple Changer]]&amp;quot;, Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus Prime, with new weapons. The base figure has most of the same mold changes as Jetwing Optimus Prime (see below), but has been altered further; in particular, the transforming smokestacks and fuel tanks/ion blaster parts have been replaced with retooled regular tanks that now function as mounts for the new accessories. The colors on the toy are darker than Jetwing Optimus, with a different flame deco that extends farther along the sides of the toy. Additionally, two new 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us|Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot; saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the &amp;quot;We must stop the Decepticons!&amp;quot; saying of 2010 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a shield with a fold-out handle, allowing Optimus to hold onto it with either hand in robot mode. It has a simple transformation gimmick for vehicle mode which is activated by pressing a button at the top of the shield, causing the sides to spring outwards. In vehicle mode, the shield can be laid flat across the bed of the truck, attaching via a post on the back onto the truck’s trailer hitch. Alternatively, the bumpers on the shield can be rotated outwards, and the front can be bent down in order to form a new front end and hood for &amp;quot;battle vehicle mode&amp;quot;, resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicle modes seen in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the &amp;quot;Eliminator Gun&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Assault Blaster&amp;quot;, which combine into the &amp;quot;Mega Striker&amp;quot;, a rifle that closely resembles the one used in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In &amp;quot;battle vehicle mode&amp;quot;, the sides of the truck are rotated up, and the guns can be attached by small pegs to holes in the modified smokestacks, or they can plugged into any of the standard connection points with their [[5 mm post|5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all Japanese &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime&#039;s ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime&#039;s blaster is painted silver with a black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is left as unpainted grey plastic (exactly like the blaster on the original single-boxed ROTF Buster Optimus Prime). After receiving numerous reports from customers that the silver paint on the slide-out barrel was easily scraped off by merely transforming it from gas tank to blaster, Takara-Tomy briefly stated in an interview that they had addressed the issue for the Dark of the Moon packaged version by swapping the placement of the silver paint application. Thus, the Dark of the Moon packaged version now features the slide-out barrel on Prime&#039;s blaster as unpainted grey plastic with an unchanged black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is now painted silver.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader class Buster Optimus Prime, with an accompanying large jet pack and massive dual Gatling Cannons. The base Optimus Prime figure has several modifications including: a new stomach area and elbow flares to reflect the changes to Optimus Prime&#039;s CG model in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, modified lower arms to incorporate MechTech ports and clips for the cannons, and a retooled area under his back so the jet pack can fit on more securely. The dual energon blades mounted on his arms have been removed. The toy retains Buster Optimus Prime&#039;s electronics, but batteries are not included. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Jetwing jet pack attaches onto Optimus Prime via a part that hooks onto one of the hinges behind his neck, and a spring-loaded clamp that latches onto a recessed area under Optimus&#039; back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus&#039; Ion Blaster must be removed for this mode, and they can be stored inside the engines for the jet pack. The Jetwing can be used on previous Leader Optimus Primes from &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; onwards, but due to the lack of modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn&#039;t as stable. The jet pack features four MechTech ports on the main wing articulation points, and two [[C joint]] mounting points on each wing. The Gatling Cannons both feature two MechTech ports and 2 C joint mounts on either side of each cannon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime&#039;s flight tech for &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all Japanese &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Jetwing Optimus Prime was available for early purchase in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 (held at Tokyo Bic Sight) on [[June 18]] to [[June 19|19]], shortly before its wide release in July.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.&lt;br /&gt;

:This redeco of Jetwing Optimus Prime is a North American [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.com]] and 2013 [[Black Friday (event)|Black Friday]] [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] exclusive. Among other deco changes, he features Generation 1-style trailer stripes on his Jetwing jet pack, Movie-style flame color gradient on his Gatling Cannons, and [[AllSpark Power]] blue paint on the mechanical detailing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The box seems to have been created rather hastily from the Japanese original. It is roughly identical to the Tomy release, but with the Japanese text edited out... mostly. Random Japanese text remains floating in space on the top of the back panel and underneath the &amp;quot;Jetwing Optimus Prime&amp;quot; name on the front. Curiously, the left flap has been rewritten to eliminate mention of [[NEST]] and the jetpack&#039;s ability to detach, while the right flap has been (badly) edited to remove all mentions of [[MechTech]].&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Billed on his packaging as &amp;quot;BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!&amp;quot;, Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; Optimus Prime on its own, roughly equivalent to a Voyager in size and complexity, though with a lower degree of screen-accuracy than most large Optimus toys. Prime has 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm fist holes, as well as additional 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports on his front wheel wells and both sets of external fuel tanks. Four of these remain available in robot mode. The trailer has twelve more 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus&#039; trailer]] transforms into nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although this renders the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation, having no leg articulation whatsoever aside from swinging the hips out slightly and twisting at the ankles for maximum stability. The armor adds six more 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the four from the cab robot and the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has his own pair of 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can hold itself up using folding blue supports, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime&#039;s gigantic Ultimax Super Cannon, an electronic light-and-sound weapon the size and mass of a Deluxe figure. The whole cannon attaches to a special socket slightly behind Prime&#039;s shoulders, can store on the back or flip over to be gripped in both fists in armor mode, or stored upside-down underneath the trailer in truck mode. When pointed forward, the cannon has a larger helmet styled after Prime&#039;s own with a large translucent face shield featuring a painted targeting system. The weapon has three electronic modes: each of two small buttons plays its own weapon-firing noise and flashes one set of lights, while the large pull-switch in the cannon&#039;s center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot;. The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot;, allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus&#039; imaginary &amp;quot;flight&amp;quot; operations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Although the trailer is made exclusively for the cab with which it comes, it is scaled much more closely to and can be pulled by Optimus Prime&#039;s &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader class iteration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Japan, Ultimate Optimus Prime comes with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;

:This is a redeco of Ultimate Optimus Prime. While Prime himself only features a red grill, the [[Armored Weapons Platform#YOTDPrime|trailer]] has been extensively redecoed, with an ornate golden Chinese dragon being painted on the trailer panels, and the various gray parts of the trailer panels, armor, and cannon being replaced by blue, red, gold, and burgundy. The toy was released as a &amp;quot;{{w|Dragon (zodiac)|Year of the Dragon}}&amp;quot; Special Edition in [[2012]], since the Chinese Zodiac sign for that year is the Dragon.&lt;br /&gt;

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Optimus Prime (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. You simply slam him down on the big blue button on the back end of his truck mode and he transforms thanks to spring-loaded mechanisms. To transform him back, just slam him down again on the same blue button. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockingly, he actually has arm articulation! Swivels at his shoulders allow you to rotate his arms 360 degrees! Go little Prime! Unfortunately, because his big blue button sits right under his feet, his robot mode is a little unstable when it comes to standing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Prime was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn&#039;t be transformed in package.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Bash Bots&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is a small, rock-em-sock-em-styled toy that transforms from a super-deformed truck into a robot by pulling or pushing the lever below it&#039;s built-in stand.

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (2011)&lt;br /&gt;
:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Go-Bots toys. Prime&#039;s pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, the motor gimmick really comes to the fore—his head, shoulders, and legs move in time with his forward movement. His legs pump up and down, his shoulders pump up and down, and his head rocks side-to-side. This gives the toy the illusion that it&#039;s running, rather than just rolling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The other gimmick for Prime is his auto-transform gimmick. From truck mode, push him down on his back bumper and his bonnet automatically folds back and his arms automatically pop out. He needs to be transformed back manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, Go-Bots Optimus Prime has a limited swivel joint for head articulation, and while he has other movable joints, all of them are spring-loaded and unable to hold a pose.&lt;br /&gt;

The figure lacks the chrome of previous releases, instead opting for silver paint. The pin-striping is also absent, but he does have painted pupils. The figure also features 2-2-1 articulated fingers, which the [[#Leader Class toys 2|first Leader Class]] did not have due to budget cuts. The ion cannon included lacks the black paint application, leaving it completely silver. When purchased from select retailers, this toy will also include a shiny metal number plate and a bonus mini [[AllSpark]] cube accessory.

&lt;br /&gt;
: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of &#039;&#039;Kre-O&#039;&#039;. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable &amp;quot;sleeper&amp;quot; cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set&#039;s two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|&#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a &amp;quot;headquarters&amp;quot; which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it&#039;s a building kit, surely you can find &#039;&#039;someplace&#039;&#039; to apply most of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 Optimus]]), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional &amp;quot;Matrix chest&amp;quot; Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This set was only available on [[June 28]] as part of a special promotion at Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us, given away free from noon to 2pm (roughly) as part of an in-store building event that coincided with the opening weekend of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]&#039;&#039; and the final day of a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale on all &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; product.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Optimus rifle&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of &amp;quot;movie&amp;quot; Optimus is based on his &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; incarnation, as that&#039;s how he appears in &amp;quot;[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]&amp;quot; and as a mascot character on the park grounds. He is available exclusively in a box set sold at The Ride&#039;s gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks. After several years of &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; being available at the park proper, the four-pack was eventually added to Universal&#039;s online store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies. Optimus&#039;s [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged. This set would later see slight production changes; all of the figures&#039; tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, while Optimus&#039;s medium-pearlescent-gray plastics (his arm-mounted smokestacks) have been lightened considerably and lost a significant amount of metallic sheen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In mid-2020, the set was revamped again &#039;&#039;again&#039;&#039;, now removing Evac and replacing him with the [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]]. This version of the set uses the latter version of the other three characters with the thicker tampograph lines and lighter medium-gray plastic.&lt;br /&gt;

With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: One of the Mini-Con limb-bots (Soundwave helmet) is based on the original movie version of Optimus. The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus&#039;s original body. Two of his limbs are based on &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). And the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]! The heck?&lt;br /&gt;

Four holes are located on the top-front end of the trailer, with another three inside. The door also folds down to become a ramp, and the inside of the trailer is big enough for several Legion or Commander Cyberverse toys, or one smaller-end Deluxe figure. Two [[C joint]] bars also run along the bottom of both sides. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The center section of the inner trailer floor has been retooled so it can no longer be pulled out and flipped over, since bottle cap figurines aren&#039;t really sold in the West outside of import shops. However, the framework on the bottom of the trailer can be unscrewed to allow this piece to be flipped or, for the more industrious fan, have the tabs removed to restore the function. There is still an indent to make flipping the sliding section up easier, hinting at the neutered feature.&lt;br /&gt;

:Dino Sparkers Optimus Prime is a static, non-artiulated figure of Optimus Prime&#039;s &amp;quot;evasion mode&amp;quot; body, wielding a sword and riding on a translucent chunk of plastic that sorta resembles [[Grimlock (AOE)#Dino Sparkers|Grimlock]]&#039;s [[beast mode]]. Pulling back and releasing it causes [[sparking gimmick|&amp;quot;cold&amp;quot; sparks]] to flash inside the dino&#039;s back end.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;First Edition Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (2014)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;&#039;14 OF 30&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; toy line]]. Prime is a Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star &amp;quot;5700 OP&amp;quot; concept truck vehicle mode and his updated robot mode from the film (well, mostly based on his initial design rather than the final design in the movie). His transformation is much simpler than his counterparts from the previous three movie lines, being billed as transforming in &amp;quot;15 easy steps.&amp;quot; His torso, shoulders, upper legs, and the vehicle mode grill are all completely chromed with the exception of minor blue and red details painted on his chest. However, this comes at the expense of his smokestacks and wheels being bare gray plastic, whereas they are chromed in the film. His [[shellformer|simplified transformation]] also comes at the expense of having a very bulky &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. His truck kibble can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own, though this is not an intended feature of the toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via a 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post. In truck mode, the sword is stored underneath, while the shield mounts onto the trailer hitch. The sword also features a [[5 mm post|5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime&#039;s trailer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was only available as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, but was also released at brick and mortar retails in Australia and Hasbro&#039;s Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as &amp;quot;14 of 30&amp;quot; in Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]&#039;&#039; campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;fepress&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; First Edition Optimus Prime]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies &#039;&#039;another&#039;&#039; product as &amp;quot;14 of 30&amp;quot;, which doesn&#039;t sport any such markings on its packaging &#039;&#039;either&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;retro&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Hasbro Thrilling 30 retrospective] on Facebook, mirrored [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/hasbro-transformers-30th-anniversary-thrilling-30-exclusives-retrospective-gallery-181598/ here] on TFW2005.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:A redeco of First Edition Optimus Prime in the &#039;Silver Knight&#039; scheme, molded in light grey plastic and sporting many paint operations, with the sword and shield molded in clear light blue plastic. Like all of the AOE &amp;quot;Silver Knight&amp;quot; Optimus Prime toys, this was a Target exclusive. [[:File:PlatinumEditiontoy-SilverKnightOptimusPrime.jpg|Initial stock photos]] of the toy were missing the silver and chrome paint apps, which were later corrected.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime with Trailer and Sideswipe&#039;&#039;&#039; (2014)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Sword of Judgement&lt;br /&gt;
:Another redeco of First Edition Optimus Prime with a retooled faceplated head and a more stylised flame deco(now based of the red-orange fade seen in the original Peterbilt Optimus) and is slathered in chrome. He comes in a two-pack with a redecoed &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class [[Sideswipe (Movie)/toys#Age of Extinction|Sideswipe]], using the alternate [[Swerve (Movie)#Revenge of the Fallen|Swerve]] head, along with the &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|MP-10 Convoy]]/[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10hasbro|Optimus Prime]] trailer without [[Roller (G1)#Masterpiece|Roller]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime comes with the same sword, now molded in orange plastic with no paint operations. This set omits the shield seen in the First Edition and Silver Knight versions of this mold. It is omitted as there is no place in the truck mode to store it, since the trailer now takes over the trailer hitch, which is where the shield was supposed to be stored, though you &#039;&#039;technically&#039;&#039; could have stored it in the trailer. This toy is still compatible with the First Edition and Silver Knight versions of the shield, though neither match the color scheme well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The stock photo on the right shows him with the side panels of the truck on his backpack incorrectly flipped out. They should be split and tabbed together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the United States, this set was a &amp;quot;shared exclusive&amp;quot; between [[BigBadToyStore]], [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]], and [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]. In Canada and Singapore, it was exclusive to Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us, whereas in Australia, it was a Myer exclusive.

It was unclear whether the now-blue flame effect was meant to represent his jetpack blast effect or his atmospheric entry heat effect, which is for no reason: entirely blue instead of hot red.&lt;br /&gt;

:A redeco of the &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class toy, this Optimus Prime has large portions of his body, mostly his truck parts, vacuum metalized silver, and his light-piped eyes were neutered by blue paint. He comes with a redeco of Generation 1 [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]]&#039;s sword, which can be wielded by his 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, &#039;&#039;especially&#039;&#039; with the shoulder kibble &amp;amp; the bottom leg&#039;s posts (This can be amended if you slightly widen the holes with 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm hand drills). As with the original &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class figure, the instructions don&#039;t mention about forming the sleeper part until step 10, the pinky finger prevented the sword to peg down through his hands, and of course: his truck mode can attach with the Armored Weapons Platform included in the &#039;&#039;Chronicle&#039;&#039; or the &#039;&#039;Movie Trilogy Series&#039;&#039; figure. This figure has slightly loose shoulder joints.&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class toys, &amp;quot;Evasion Mode Optimus Prime&amp;quot; is based on the character&#039;s initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime&#039;s White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a &amp;quot;default&amp;quot; 90° position. Also, while you transform him back to truck mode, his hands must be in the same sideways position to ensure the truck kibble is properly flushed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus includes a spring-loaded missile-firing &amp;quot;ion cannon&amp;quot; modeled after Megatron&#039;s shotgun from &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, with the missile features a sculpted shotgun nozzle on the front section. It can be held in his hand or attached to the top of the truck cab or truck bed via 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In time-honored tradition, Prime&#039;s instructions depict the toy with an alternate &amp;quot;[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]&amp;quot; head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]&#039;&#039; and &amp;quot;Rusty&amp;quot; releases of the figure (see below). Additionally, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him with extra white/silver [[Paint operation|paint detail]]s, especially on his chest and wheel rims, as well as having gray upper arms with red details, among other differences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy, but slightly larger than his &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; toy&#039;s truck) he is quite tall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Movie Advanced Series&#039;&#039; toys, is dubbed &amp;quot;Classic Optimus Prime&amp;quot;, and opts for a deco closer to Prime&#039;s previous on-screen appearances, omitting the blue paint on his feet and hands to reveal the gray plastic underneath, and adding new paint details all over. Instead of painting it in clear light blue, his light-piping eyes are neutered with opaque light blue paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction: Generations&#039;&#039; Leader Class toys, this is yet &#039;&#039;another&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;big&amp;quot; Optimus Prime figure. While smaller than the First Edition toy, this one features more silver and chrome paint in vehicle mode, a more poseable robot mode, and a Vector Shield accessory instead of the Sentinel Shield. Unlike the First Edition figure, Leader Class Optimus Prime&#039;s pauldrons and hip-skirts are formed from truck kibble, giving him a marginally smaller backpack. His accessories have roughly the same functionality as the First Edition toy, with his sword being hand-held and pegged onto his hands or storing underneath the truck, and his shield mounting onto his left forearm or storing on the back of the truck. Additionally, the sword sheath underneath the truck can be folded up and used in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It should be noted that this Optimus Prime can accommodate the [[Dual Energon Swords#Dark of the Moon|Battle Blade]] accessories to recreate the scene of him fighting against Galvatron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure was only made available as a store [[exclusive]] in parts of Europe, at least in the United Kingdom (at Argos) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Apparently, early plans for the shield were to have it colored gold and silver, but it was later changed to gray and red. When a hand-painted [[prototype]] of the toy was first displayed at the 2013 New York Comic Con, the shield was colored yellow and silver; in addition, the original versions of the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] also depict the gold color, but the versions featured on the back of the toy&#039;s [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy&#039;s colors for the shield. Meanwhile, the versions of the stock photos provided to websites and online retailers depict the shield in its final colors for the robot mode, whereas the vehicle mode photo is the unedited version featuring the shield&#039;s original colors. Furthermore, UK-based retailer Argos also featured unedited versions of the stock photos for both modes in one of its catalogs, causing some confusion among fans.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;argos&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/991761-uk-getting-different-leader-decos-optimus-yellow-vector-shield.html TFW2005 thread] about outdated stock photos used in Argos catalog.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Sometimes, the spring loaded &amp;quot;[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]&amp;quot; feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...&lt;br /&gt;

: A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime, he transforms into a Western Star &amp;quot;5700 OP&amp;quot; concept truck as seen in the film, in &#039;&#039;4 steps&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
::1. Press 2 buttons on the truck steps make the side panels pop out in position.&lt;br /&gt;
::2. Fold down the front section to transform it&#039;s robot mode legs.&lt;br /&gt;
::3. Fold back the rear parts to form the kibble.&lt;br /&gt;
::4. Position the arms into place, and Optimus will announce &amp;quot;Transform!&amp;quot;, with a classic transformation sound effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Like Stomp &amp;amp; Chomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers, activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He has notably less kibble than other &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime toys... from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so lucky, with large chunks of truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he&#039;s wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Sword of Judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; leader class Optimus, but cast in flat grey rubbery plastic rather than the transparent plastic and paint operations of the initial release. This Optimus Prime erroneously features blue paint on his feet instead of the screen-accurate red.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released to conclude the 10th Anniversary of the live-action film series, &#039;&#039;[[Masterpiece Movie Series]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime transforms from a 25 cm-tall robot (a little taller than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]) resembling how the character appeared in the first live action movie into a &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;Kenworth W900&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; modified Peterbilt 379, in 43 steps, with many of the engineering cues being distinctively based and improved on the [[#Leader_Class_toys_2|&#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader Class mold]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure has diecast metal in its feet, shins, and abdomen. It features pinstriped flames, articulated fingers, a headsculpt with a face that can rotate between masked and unmasked modes in a method identical to Armor Knight Optimus Prime&#039;s, and an abdomen that opens to reveal a chamber housing a diecast Matrix of Leadership. He comes with said Matrix, his &amp;quot;Rifle&amp;quot; (aka &amp;quot;Ion Cannon&amp;quot;), and a pair of &amp;quot;Energy Swords&amp;quot; that tab in behind his wrists in a technically inaccurate fashion (they should replace the hands entirely). All three weapons can combine and store on the trailer hitch in vehicle mode or robot mode. Speaking of, Optimus can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|trailer]] from &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; MP-10 Convoy. Possibly due to this feature, he is actually too short in robot mode, deviating from the scale much more than his peers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/mpm-3rd-party-scale-discussion.1194209/page-2#post-17949152 Thread discussion on the MPM scale], which lists Weijiang&#039;s upscaled knockoff of MPM Optimus deviating from the scale by being 0.93 cm too short; and taller than the real MPM by 3 inches.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:Though the figure does a much better job of conveying the on-screen character model than the ROTF Leader Class mold did, there are still a few inaccuracies—most notably the forearm and shoulder pad designs and the head/torso proportions. The final product also lacks certain paint details visible in stock and packaging imagery, such as the blue rings on his feet and the gold on his pelvis. In both the final product and stock photography, the silver detailing on the forehead is the wrong shape as there should not be a break in the silver. It should be noted that this mold does not combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Leader Class toys|Jetfire]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In addition, it is very difficult, if not impossible for the vehicle mode to tab together properly. The entire cab assembly breaks apart very easily as the tabs lack sufficient friction to keep it together, resulting in either a gap forming between the front windows and the hood or part of the hood raising up. This is due to a mold change seen in early prototypes and the toy packaging where the red abdomen sections tab in lower, inaccurately exposing the hinge between it and the chest windows. The pipes that are supposed to connect to the bottom of the smokestacks also don&#039;t swing out far enough to properly do so if the feet are tabbed together completely. Two sets of plastic rings on posts connect each of the shoulders to the torso - the ring that ends up on top in vehicle mode is slightly too thick and often filled with stress marks straight out of the packaging and can create stress marks on the torso piece it&#039;s connected to. The same ring can also make it &#039;&#039;extremely&#039;&#039; difficult to tab the cab together. Since the lower ring is on a separate part and still keeps the joint connected, it can be helpful to disassemble the figure and cut away the upper ring to alleviate both problems, but do so at your own risk. Since the windows don&#039;t tab in in vehicle mode, the chest piece, which is &#039;&#039;rather&#039;&#039;  thin and tabs in to the grille as well, is under an extreme amount of stress. This cause breakages on a few number of copies, specifically in the piece which swivels outwards on the secondary joint of the chest piece. While this breakage is rare, care should still be taken when transforming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy release replaces the dark gray plastic on the Hasbro version with lighter tan gray as well as adding some of the missing paint applications shown on the box, with the thighs and gas tanks still missing silver paint. The mold tolerances have been adjusted, and transforming to truck mode properly is possible with a degree of variation on some copies. The Hasbro and TakaraTomy versions both have misassemblies on the sleeper cabin hinges, where they are reversed, although this does not affect transformation. The TakaraTomy release is packaged in truck mode, whereas the Hasbro version is packaged in robot mode. Due to the changes made for the Takara release, it is theorised that the Hasbro version was rushed to meet the anniversary year and/or Toys &#039;R Us exclusivity deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Much like his ROTF ancestor, he is a frequent victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from clones that fix the issues above to high quality upscales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[Starscream (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|As]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|expected]], the [[:File:MPM4Optimus.jpg|Hasbro stock photos]] have the figure mistransformed in both modes. The backpack is a mess, the chest and torso bits aren&#039;t properly configured, and the smokestacks in truck mode aren&#039;t extended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the United States, Canada, and Hasbro&#039;s Asian markets, &#039;&#039;Masterpiece Movie Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime was exclusively available from [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]], whereas in Spain, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour. It&#039;s currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply &amp;quot;Toys-Shop&amp;quot;, but again might have been available online only.&lt;br /&gt;

This also results in a somewhat amusing appearance for the truck mode, as the placement of the said kibble looks like it has a pair of cat-ears. The truck bed is also quite unfinished, having little semblance to the real thing. Additionally, he is one of the lightest(even compared to the carbots) MPM figures to date. For a MPM figure of this price and size, he has an unusually low count of die-cast parts, since he only has die-cast gas tanks(which are small) and a die-cast Matrix of Leadership.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For an MPM figure, his hands are rather compromised in articulation, as his index finger can only open to 90 degrees, lacking the double joint on it that most figures with a 3 finger-trigger finger split have. This may have been because his fingers needed to be posed at a 90 degrees pose for a secure grip on his matrix, but [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|other figures]] have been able to do it without the fingers needing to be locked, so this is purely a cost cutting measure done by Hasbro. Prime also has a design flaw in his wrists. Its flips out on a joint for transformation, but the joint is too weak to support the weight of the ion blaster. Combine that with a gaping hole in his arm underneath his wrists, his hands end up drooping downwards if Prime holds the blaster in a 90 degree or downwards arm angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hasbro [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLtuM8DJeY9/ stock photography] depicts much brighter and saturated colors, as well as clear blue windows. TakaraTomy stock photography (right), which was revealed months later, features darker, more film-accurate colors, and clear grey windows. Despite both versions of the toy using TakaraTomy&#039;s stock photography, only TakaraTomy&#039;s version includes the accurate grey windows, as well as unpainted red plastic sun visors. The box also features the peculiar (&#039;&#039;especially&#039;&#039; for a Masterpiece figure) call-out &amp;quot;Articulated Head&amp;quot; depicting Optimus just... turning his head to the left. The photography is also strangely low resolution compared to previous releases in the line, possibly a consequence of 2020 pandemic complications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was revealed on February 25, 2021 via live-stream. It is a [[Target]] exclusive in the United States and a [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] exclusive in Canada. The toy was reissued in the fall of 2024, $6 cheaper than its original price. &lt;br /&gt;

While the main body is identical to the figure, the arms and legs are newly tooled, with simple assemblies for the wheels. The retooled legs now features a more solid stopping point, which prevents the center front grill/legs to swing back further.

:Although &#039;&#039;MechTech&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime&#039;s deco is similar to the initial release, some of his parts (robot shoulder flaps, chest piece/truck front) were recast in blue plastic (with the chest being painted red), and his paint applications on the pelvis, headlights &amp;amp; thighs are omitted. His front truck hood/backpack&#039;s deco is altered: the truck steps and the fenders were painted blue, and the gold gradients on the flame tampographs are removed, while he features additional flame tampos on both sides of his front hood, and an Autobot Insignia on his left robot shoulder. He still retains the light-piping gimmick, but cast in clear plastic, with the eyeballs being (halfheartedly) painted with clear blue.

&lt;br /&gt;
:This Voyager-sized Optimus Prime has a similar transformation scheme to [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Generations|&#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Galvatron]], notably the shoulders, rooftop backpack, and the leg/wheels combo based on his Leader Class figure. He features a similar but different transformation scheme, which results in a somewhat clean robot mode, although most of his vehicle kibble hangs on his back. He also features the sword &amp;amp; the shield based on his final design in the movie, albeit the sword being painted similarly to the Armor Knight Optimus Prime&#039;s sword. His sword can store underneath his Vehicle mode or his robot mode backpack, while the shield can be stored on the truck&#039;s fifth wheel hitch, which can also tow the trailer included from the Japanese exclusive [[#VoyagerTrailer|Mechtech Voyager]]. Although the pectoral armor can be slightly pushed up a little bit further, the pieces have to actually stop at where the rectangular peg holes are located.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Surprisingly, this was also the first Hasbro exclusive transforming Movie Optimus Prime figure to be based on the final design seen in &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039;. He even features the forearms that Prime had before obtaining the Sword of Judgement, which unfortunately means that he is inaccurate to his appearance in the battle of Hong Kong and the entirety of &#039;&#039;The Last Knight&#039;&#039;. The sword&#039;s blade is still painted as the heated-up version from the concept art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like the larger &#039;&#039;First Edition&#039;&#039; figure, this toy is a rather egregious [[shellformer]], to the point where you can actually separate the robot mode from his vehicle shell if you &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; wanted to.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:In some countries like Malaysia, Prime could be obtained by buying some certain items for an expensive price, given away along with a similarly &#039;battle-damaged&#039; redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]]. He was also released as a prize figure for the Transformers Atrium Fair in Takashimaya B2 Atrium located in Singapore from 13 till 26th June 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was also available at the movie launch event in a Toys R&#039;Us in Hong Kong, as a prize for spending HKD$1,500 on Transformers-related products.&lt;br /&gt;

:This exclusive redeco of Optimus Prime features darker shades of red and blue than his other releases and has extensive paint applications to resemble his on-screen appearances in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]&#039;&#039;, particularly his Nemesis Prime alter ego. To that end, he features movie-accurate flame patterns, which are larger and more elaborate than the ones on the regular release or the SDCC exclusive, on his vehicle mode exterior and robot pectoral armor. His eyes and sword are also painted metallic purple, but his shield is completely unpainted for some reason. His lighter gray plastic has been totally replaced by a &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; dark grey(almost black) plastic.&lt;br /&gt;

:The &#039;&#039;San Diego Comic-Con 2017&#039;&#039; exclusive Optimus Prime figure is another redeco of the &#039;&#039;Premier Edition&#039;&#039; figure, which aims for a more movie-accurate look than the original by still sharing the same paint masks, but replacing the chest&#039;s deco with flames and adding extra paint applications on the legs, arms, chest, head, tire rims, both sides of the engine compartment, and the sword and shield... but for some reason still sports the movie-inaccurate blue &#039;collar&#039;, as well as the smaller, less accurate vehicle flame tampographs instead of the more movie-accurate ones used on Dark Optimus Prime. His Autobot insignia is also moved on the upper back section of the air dam. He is packaged in a stylish, display-case-like-box similar to later &#039;&#039;Transformers: Alternators&#039;&#039; releases and the Hasbro Toy Shop/SDCC 2011 exclusive figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hilariously, Optimus Prime also comes with an &#039;&#039;authentic tire piece&#039;&#039; from a Western Star 5700XE truck (no seriously, look it up.). His stock photo is also &#039;&#039;slightly&#039;&#039; mistranformed: his pectoral armor is not rotated properly in robot mode.

:This redeco of the [[#Voyager Class toys 4|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Optimus Prime]] figure features a really unusual deco pattern consisting of red transparent tires, the vehicle front grill and fuel tanks (the fenders remained opaque red due to unpaintable plastic). Some of his parts like the vehicle front hood and the truck roof feature a pattern similar to the ones used for the [[Tech Spec]]s in the &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; toys.

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released exclusively in Asia, Shadow Spark Optimus Prime is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; [[#Leader Class toys 5|Leader Class Optimus Prime]], featuring dark grey plastics, weathered deco patterns, and some opaque plastic which was recasted from transparent plastics.

:This Optimus Prime is a somewhat/nearly screen-accurate redeco (dedeco?) of the Leader Class figure, but uses the original Leader mold instead of the Armor Knight retool, unfortunately. In comparison to the first &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Leader Class figure, his vacuum-metalized front truck bumper, sun visors, robot mode chest, smokestacks, and side tanks were omitted, revealing the grey plastic underneath. His chromed chest was also stripped of chrome for adding paint operations, his shield was unpainted, and both of his sword and truck mode windows were cast in colorless plastic. He also features some extra silver paint on his robot mode forehead, and his white-colored Autobot insignia is slightly tampographed on the left. And lastly, his light-piping eyes are neutered by blue paint.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Temenos Sword, Calibur Axe, Overshield/Fifth Wheel Hitch, Energon Sword (limited edition)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Calibur Optimus Prime is a retool of the Armor Knight Optimus Prime figure, itself a retool of the original &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Leader Class figure. In a clever bit of [[partformer|partforming]], the fifth wheel hitch now forms a handheld shield based on the one used in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], which results in a backpack-less robot mode. As such, the shield that came with prior versions has been omitted (though it&#039;s still fully compatible, of course). The figure can be transformed without partsforming if so desired, leaving a backpack like the original leader, but the sword will not store on his back due to the remolding. He also comes with an axe based on the one used in the third film.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The initial release of the figure comes with a limited edition Energon Sword. According to [https://amzn.asia/d/9lU57nG Amazon Japan&#039;s page] and the instructions, the included Energon Sword &amp;amp; Axe is compatible with &#039;&#039;Movie The Best&#039;&#039; MB-11 Optimus Prime figure (seen above), which basically makes Calibur Optimus Prime a weapon expansion pack for said figure. Said compatibility, however, makes the weapons(other than the sword)too big for this figure, since the ROTF Leader mold is bigger than this one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unlike the &#039;&#039;Movie Advanced Series&#039;&#039;&#039; Armor Knight figure, the blue plastic and red paint are less metallic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The back of the packaging features a small typo, notably the word &amp;quot;kinetic&amp;quot; being written as &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Kinetic&#039;&#039;&#039;k&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;. The bio also denotes the elemental metal as &amp;quot;Cyber-Matter&amp;quot; living metal, which is a term that originates from the [[Aligned continuity family]]. Oddly, TakaraTomy&#039;s stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout &amp;quot;battle figure&amp;quot; included with Telebi Magazine&#039;s [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Calibur Axe was later redecoed into &amp;quot;Bronze Calibur Axe&amp;quot;, as a giveaway accessory for the 3rd &#039;&#039;The Last Knight Final Battle Campaign&#039;&#039; in Japan. In 2018, Optimus Prime is released along with [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TLKLeader|Megatron]] as part of the TakaraTomy Mall exclusive &amp;quot;Optimus Prime VS Megatron&amp;quot; set. &lt;br /&gt;

:The use of a G1-based Orion Pax design and an Aligned-based Optimus Prime design with Movie Optimus Prime packaging art makes it hard to know where on the wiki this should go, but given the general movie-themed bent of the &#039;&#039;Tribute&#039;&#039; line, we&#039;re putting it here. A few months after the 2-pack&#039;s release, &#039;&#039;Tribute&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime &amp;amp; Orion Pax saw worldwide release through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], including an Amazon Japan listing bearing a &#039;&#039;The Last Knight&#039;&#039; ID number. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Studio Series]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime transforms from a robot into a Peterbilt 379 semi-truck. He comes his [[dual Energon Swords]], which can be mounted onto his arms or store on the back of his robot mode or truck bed. The figure combines engineering concepts from his &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; [[#Voyager Class toys 5|Voyager Class figure]] with techniques previously used on &#039;&#039;Prime: First Edition&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Prime: First Edition|Optimus Prime]]. He also features a more subdued color scheme compared to other Optimus Prime figures. Like the rest of the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; figures, the figure prioritizes robot mode [[scale]] and thus stands shorter than his Voyager Class wavemate [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Starscream]]. The CG renders depict him possessing long smokestacks, but the final product has them shortened... again. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the forest battle from &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm compatible arms can fit with most weapons with the same post size, some of the weapons&#039; handles can barely fit on it due to either the slightly thickened tab or thin sculpted panels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The rear truck cabin/back kibble can turn slightly floppy over time in robot mode, as there are no tabs and holes to secure it. Despite being labeled as the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; version of the character, this mold is not meant to combine with the later released [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], although it can be achieved with some [[Fan mode|fiddling]]. However, it &#039;&#039;can&#039;&#039; carry (but not combine with) &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[#SS44|44 Optimus Prime]]&#039;s trailer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While stock photos and renders show the figure with a faceplate, this [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/1859790330757819/?type=3&amp;amp;theater image] posted by the Transformers Facebook page shows him with his mouth exposed. This was later found as a variant at least [http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/05/07/transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-faceplate-less-variant-images-363449 once]. A running change was made, [https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/variant-transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-with-blade-colour-difference/41133/ changing the blades to be more translucent]. The semi-translucent blades release features a date code &amp;quot;73461&amp;quot;, whereas the translucent orange blades version features a date code written as &amp;quot;80171&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:TakaraTomy&#039;s stock photo of the robot mode depicts the right elbow bent &#039;&#039;backwards&#039;&#039; instead of forwards. Ouch!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; (though sold under the first &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film&#039;s branding), this &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is an extensive retool of the figure above, featuring many new parts, namely a new backpack, chest piece, back of thighs, forearms, a (removable) abdominal area, and lower legs with a pair of non-transforming fenders. These new parts lead to [[Show-accuracy|a better resemblance]] to his appearance in the first two movies and allow him to combine with &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]] to form &amp;quot;Jetwing Optimus Prime,&amp;quot; while resulting in a somewhat more involved transformation. His color scheme features a much higher contrast than the previous release. Inexplicably, he has silver paint apps added on his forearms that actually make him &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; accurate than if it were left as the bare red plastic underneath, while forgetting to accurately paint a different section of his forearms blue. Unfortunately, as a trade-off for having a more accurate robot mode, his vehicle mode suffers; his front drive tires lift off the ground, he&#039;s missing the toolboxes behind his fuel tanks, some of his robot mode kibble is exposed beneath his doors, and several of the floodlights above his windshield are gone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Instead of Energon Swords, he now comes with an [[Ion blaster]] like that used in the battle of [[Mission City]]. It can be stored on various rectangular peg holes in Prime&#039;s vehicle mode or on the larger rectangular pegs on his cab nose/forearms or on the robot mode&#039;s back. While this Optimus figure can use the first mold&#039;s blades, the new molding prevents the swords from being properly stored on the robot&#039;s back, and using the intended &amp;quot;underslung&amp;quot; grip displaces his forearm armor slightly. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the highway fight with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the first &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film. Since the Leader Class figure below is a redeco of this one, it should come as no surprise that this one is fully compatible with the trailer and jet pack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The panels with the fuel tanks are connected to his back by small friction pegs, and have a tendency to pop off during transformation, though they can easily be reattached. This was fixed in later versions of the mold. As the front grills rely on a hook-and-tab assembly to complete the truck mode and combined with the fact that they&#039;re molded in translucent plastic completely painted over in silver, the painted tabs can wear down and break off during transformation, leaving a gap in the front of the truck mode. Care must be taken when combining him with Jetfire, as it can place much stress on the hinges that the grills are connected to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The packaging stock photo features him having a misassembled hip, which is facing backward. Speaking of misassembly, a small number of Optimuses have two left or right upper arms. These errors prevent the front section from fully transforming. This can be identified by viewing the front section while he&#039;s still in-package.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His rear wheels were later reused for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|&#039;&#039;Earthrise&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime]], while the front wheels appear to have been slightly retooled for use on the &#039;&#039;Earthrise&#039;&#039;&#039;s trailer as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus was reissued through [[Walmart]] in November 2025. The reissue does have the pinned back panels seen with later uses of the mold, and the package art has been updated slightly, most notably removing the cross-sell of &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Bonecrusher (Movie)#Studio Series|Bonecrusher]] that was on the back.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/possible-studio-series-ss-32-voyager-optimus-prime-reissue-found-at-us-retail.1284174/#post-23830862 Comparison between original and reissue boxes of SS-32, TFW2005]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The third &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is based on his appearance in &#039;&#039;[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]&#039;&#039;, and as such closely resembles the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 Optimus design]]. He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film&#039;s final scene. As a result, the truck frame is about half the length of the one used in the film, lacking the prominent gap between the gas tanks and the rear axle, but this makes him appear closer to the truck he turned into in G1. Optimus comes with the [[Ion blaster]] he is seen wielding in the film&#039;s Cybertron sequences and a backdrop featuring the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] where he meets up with Bumblebee. The blaster can peg into the fifth wheel hitch in vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While his truck mode scales with most of the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; brethren, Optimus&#039;s robot mode shares the same height as the other Optimuses in this section, which means that he towers over his original size in the film. Unlike his appearance in the movie, this Optimus&#039;s design closely resembles [[Mark Yang]]&#039;s concept art of the character, complete with flat feet. Unlike most of the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; figures, this Optimus doesn&#039;t have any insignia tampographed or sculpted on. The silver weathering on his stomach varies from figure-to-figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, the grey lower leg panels tend to disconnect/dislodge if the feet are swiveled, or if the pressure is applied downwards while standing. The silver-painted hinged panels on the sides of his truck mode (and to an extent, the painted crotch) are prone to chipping due to being involved in the transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Some versions of this figure feature tabs on the top of the inside of the front window frame, that have no hole to peg into on the robot torso, seeming to be remnants of a late-stage design change, that do interfere with vehicle mode holding together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was one of the items that were released as part of Hasbro&#039;s Transformers 35th Anniversary promotional mailer box&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/21/transformers-35th-anniversary-promo-box-in-hand-388546&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and was also given a repaint as part of TakaraTomy&#039;s own [[#35th Anniversary|35th Anniversary exclusive set]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was reissued as a GameStop exclusive shortly after the [[March 28]], [[2024]] fanstream.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the second toy with a new stomach area that is molded to be accurate to his appearance in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, complete with a new trailer forming his weapons platform and combat armor. His arsenal includes two cannons, an energon axe, an energon sword, a shield, and a slightly redecoed (de-decoed?) Ion blaster from the second toy, losing its blackened barrel. He also comes with a unique backdrop depicting his confrontation with the [[Driller]] in the Battle of Chicago. His fellow Leader Class Autobot, [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], comes packaged with a replacement &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;-accurate abdomen piece, allowing them to combine... though the piece is color-matched to Optimus&#039;s first &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; 05 release, a figure that lacks this figure&#039;s new molding and is thus incompatible with Jetfire. In addition to the new deco and molding, the hinges on his back that the panels with the fuel tanks are attached to now have pins, preventing the pieces from popping off when swiveling them into position during conversion. Care should still be taken when transforming the front grill, as the tab needed to hold it together still has the potential to break on this version of the mold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In terms of deco, Optimus features gradient orange paint on his forearms/truck front which the Voyager Class release didn&#039;t have, while the formerly transparent parts are now cast in opaque blue plastic, with both his real and [[kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|faux windows]] painted silver. Meanwhile, the CG stock renders feature several color and deco details that are inaccurate to the final toy; notably, the joints on his grille section are shown to be orange rather than gray, the windows are shown to be transparent rather than opaque, and all the weapons are shown to be painted, even though the only weapon that actually features &#039;&#039;any&#039;&#039; paint on the final toy is the sword. Conversely, both the CG render &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; the near-final stock photo of the robot mode show the new abdomen piece as being painted in a single red color, while the final product (including the TakaraTomy stock photos) have the details in the center section painted in movie-accurate silver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The CG render on the front packaging is a rather lazily edited version of the Optimus Prime art (complete with &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;-styled abdomen), with the Jetwing unit slapped on his back. There are also a few obvious design oversights, with no actual means of attaching the shield to Prime&#039;s arm in a shield-like manner, the handle of the axe colliding with the arm panel if pushed in all the way, and no official instructions on how to store the Ion blaster in the trailer. At least for the blaster, it can still use the ports on the truck as before, and there is sufficient space in the trailer itself to store the blaster or a few other accessories. And while Prime himself has been improved to prevent parts popping off, the dark grey &amp;quot;shoulder straps&amp;quot; on the Jetwing have a frustrating tendency to pop off due to the raised rectangular details directly under them, meant to hold them in place with friction but instead causing the part to flex and deform under pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Despite the figure&#039;s size classification, Prime himself is Voyager-sized (obviously, seeing as he&#039;s a retool of a previous &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Voyager). The Leader Class price point comes from the extra accessories that he comes packaged with.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;15th Anniversary&amp;quot; Optimus Prime is a redeco of the second &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; figure, featuring slightly minimized/altered paint applications and plastic color changes. Aside from that, he doesn&#039;t come with the Ion blaster included with the regular release but instead comes with the two swords included with the original &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; version of the mold, cast in a slightly more reddish clear orange and painted a brighter silver instead of gunmetal. In terms of deco, Optimus&#039;s metallic gray plastic is replaced with a light shade of grayish silver, the paint operations on his forearms and lower legs are omitted, and the previously colorless plastic used on the real/faux truck windows is now translucent black. The new blue paint used for most of the torso/truck cab is a noticeably different shade compared to the blue plastic, whereas the blue paint on the original release was a much closer match to the plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Interestingly, the robot mode stock render and photo show Optimus wielding his swords with the blades on the inside of the arms instead of the outside. Unlike the original SS-32 release, this release comes with the securely pinned back hinges used for the Leader Class figure. There has been one instance of yellowing on the grey plastic used, but it is not known if it is a widespread issue or an isolated instance. As with previous versions of this mold, the tabs that hold the front grill together in truck mode have the potential to break.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure comes in an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive 5-pack alongside redecoes of &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Bumblebee]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ironhide]], [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ratchet]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#SS15thAnniversary|Jazz]], released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the first live-action [[Transformers (film)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film]].

&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; 15th Anniversary&amp;quot; Optimus Prime is another release of the [[#SS32|SS-32 mold]] with [[#Studio Series|SS-05]]&#039;s Energon swords, though this time both sport their original decos. The digital render and stock photos for this release have him holding the swords correctly. This also comes with the securely pinned back hinges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure comes in an Amazon exclusive pack alongside &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Jetfire (Movie)#SSROTF15th|Jetfire]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)#SSROTF15th|Chromia]], [[Arcee (Movie)#SSROTF15th|Arcee]], and [[Elita-One (Movie)#SSROTF15th|Elita-1]], released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the second live-action Transformers film. Although this version of Optimus is technically for the first movie, its inclusion makes sense as this mold is the one that combines with Jetfire. The box meanwhile reuses SS-05&#039;s package art. The pack comes with a unique reversible backdrop with the first version of the &amp;quot;Pyramid Desert Battle&amp;quot; scene on one side and the &amp;quot;Shanghai Pursuit&amp;quot; scene on the other.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the 18th wave of &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Leader Class figures, Optimus Prime is based on his &amp;quot;knight&amp;quot; appearance in &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039;, specifically with the arm design prior to obtaining the Sword of Judgment, though he still includes the sword. He is about the same height as his prior &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Voyagers, filling out his price point with higher mass and parts count, including opening fingers and enough articulation to hold his sword with both hands. Easily missed, the truck hood on his backpack can be hinged up, which gives more room for his waist to rotate. His waist rotation does not include his crotch armor, which can make some poses look a little awkward. Curiously, his thigh armor has been incorrectly rendered as separate hip skirts like on his [[#Leader Class toys 5|2014 Leader Class mold]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He transforms into a licensed Western Star 5700EX truck in 44 steps. The fifth wheel hitch works with the trailers of his Generation 1 counterpart&#039;s most [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Earthrise|recent]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Studio Series|toys]], though they both end up hanging at an angle. He can&#039;t tow the trailer of his [[#SS44|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; version]] due to that trailer’s larger peg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus includes the Sword of Judgement, the Vector Shield, a silver-painted Energon blade, and a storage adapter piece. The sword features a removable hilt so figures without opening hands can wield it. The Vector Shield can be reassembled into its cannon mode using 5 mm connections. The sword and shield connect to the adapter piece to store on his robot back (this unfortunately results in his roof panel sticking up obtrusively behind his head) and in the truck hitch. The Energon blade can tab into his wrist and stores on tabs on either side of his back (though this risks chipping the paint on those tabs) and on tabs at the back of the truck mode.Undocumented, the blade can also attach to an otherwise unused tab underneath the shield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus&#039;s large kibble backpack can be easily popped off its mushroom peg to give him a cleaner profile at the cost of weapon storage. There is also a [https://youtu.be/Kwk2zBPpL7o&amp;amp;t=1045 fan mode] that provides a more secure (and cleaner!) storage for the Sword in truck mode. This is done by opening the back of the truck cab and threading the hilt end of the sword into the oddly-perfectly sized space between the smokestacks and back of the cab, and then closing it back up. The adapter piece with shield attached can still be slid onto the blade and attached securely onto the fifth wheel hitch. Care should be taken not to damage the Sword when transforming back to robot mode, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus is missing some sculpting on the smokestacks that is present in the instructions, as well as having the tips of his smokestacks trimmed off. His official product description includes two major errors: the first mislabels Optimus&#039; truck mode as a Western Star 4900EX rather than a 5700EX. The second is the mention of a swappable head gimmick, which designer Evan Brooks quickly clarified would not be the case.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citesocial|quote=Hello! That description seems to be an error. He doesn&#039;t come with an alternate head.|link=https://twitter.com/TFHypeGuy/status/1879335782542168556|name=Evan Brooks (via TFHypeGuy)|site=Twitter|year=2025|month=01|day=14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to being larger and heavier than previous Voyagers, this Optimus can barely ride &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Grimlock (AOE)#Studio Series|Grimlock]], another Leader Class figure from years prior. Fortunately, a Titan Class version of [[Grimlock (AOE)#SSTitan|Grimlock]] was released the next year, featuring a dedicated spot and peg for this Optimus to ride!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus was first teased at the October 2024 MCM Comic Con London, before being officially announced on [[January 13]], 2025. Pre-orders went live the next day.&lt;br /&gt;

He comes with the updated forearms and biceps (though his hand armor was not retooled to match), an unmasked headsculpt, Quad Barrel Shotgun, and wrist blade based on &#039;&#039;The Last Knight&#039;&#039;, omitting the Energon sword. In addition to his red war paint, he features a darker color scheme to signify his brainwashing by Quintessa and further differentiate him from the prior release. Due to all the new parts being cast in blue plastic, he is even &#039;&#039;more&#039;&#039; blue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For the first time ever, Nemesis is designated as a Decepticon on his packaging, though he retains his Autobot insignias on the figure itself. Hasbro stock photography (right) has a bent left antenna.&lt;br /&gt;

:Nemesis Prime was revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2025 and went up for pre-order on &amp;quot;[[September 17|Transformers Day]]&amp;quot; later that year.&lt;br /&gt;

Hence, unlike the &#039;clean&#039; approach taken by the 35th Anniversary figure, this Optimus is cast in less saturated colors and features additional paint operations replicating the slight amounts of weathering and grime that were present on his CG model. He also includes the same ion blaster weapon as the other releases of this mold, now cast in gunmetal plastic.&lt;br /&gt;

Despite this, he is missing notable red and silver paint apps on his inner legs and still has incorrectly colored forearms much like his Studio Series counterparts. He comes with two of the same Ion Blaster accessory included in the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS32|second &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Voyager mold]] in addition to the two swords from the first release.

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released as part of the &#039;&#039;[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]&#039;&#039; subline, Optimus Prime is now based on his appearance in &#039;&#039;Rise Of The Beasts&#039;&#039; - reusing only the windshield, wheels, and some transformation cues from [[#SS38|SS-38 Optimus Prime]]. He is rather impressively made using only 4 new molds compared to the usual 9. Optimus includes a new blade and arm cannon accessory. The blade can be handheld or mounted on his wrists, and both accessories can be used on either arm or stored on his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a Freightliner FLT. Both accessories can be stored in the truck bed. The vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed in the stock images; the panels with the Autobot symbols on the front of his arms should be folded down and the fuel tanks in his legs should be folded out. He shares some transformation elements with MPM-12 Prime above, particularly in the arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure is rather notorious for a number of design choices that are questionable at best, and outright designs flaws at worst. The shoulder articulation is extremely limited, resulting in him only being able to shrug when his arms are raised to the sides. Due to the mold and budget limitations, the truck has some prominent kibble in the rear and lacks a fifth wheel hitch. In some copies, his transformation scheme causes his rearmost tires to lift off the ground. The instructions imply the chest panels open out 90 degrees, but they only open to about 45. There&#039;s enough clearance and the plastic is thick enough that it shouldn&#039;t break if forced, but don&#039;t try to force it regardless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also features design flaws in the grey panels on each forearm designed to open and allow the transformation of the hands. If opened all the way, a surface on the interior of each panel obstructs the fist you&#039;re trying to fold out or in and places undue stress on the wrist joint which can lead to Prime&#039;s hands snapping off at the base of their mushroom peg connection. So exercise caution and only open these grey panels to 45 degrees which paradoxically affords more clearance, rather than the full 90 to try and avoid this. There&#039;s also clearance issues between those panels and the roundel in the elbow which can pop the flaps off if the elbow is anything but straight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Whether by coincidence or by design, his chest can open up along with a third panel (that includes a faux grill not seen in either mode for some reason) in a manner that replicates his Matrix chamber in the 1986 movie, though no Matrix of Leadership toys can fit inside without impeding his transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the United States, this figure is exclusive to [[Target]] stores like the rest of the &#039;&#039;Buzzworthy Bumblebee&#039;&#039; line, though a small quantity was also offered for preorder via [[Hasbro Pulse]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:If you really wanted to, you can swap the head with SS-38 Optimus to give that one a more accurate head, since they share the same sized ball joint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As per [[Hasbro]] designer [[Evan Brooks]] in the [[Hasbro Pulse]] livestream debuting &#039;&#039;[[Studio Series]]&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Rise of the Beasts&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)#Optimus Primal|Optimus Primal]], &amp;quot;spare space on the tooling&amp;quot; was used to pack in an axe accessory with Primal specifically intended for this figure that was costed out of the initial release.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[June 20]], 2023&#039;s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjLY0uamTKM Hasbro Pulse Transformers Fanstream] on YouTube, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Mark Maher]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Rich Pellegrino]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:Released as part of the first wave of &amp;quot;Core&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (toyline)|Rise of the Beasts]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime is based on early control art for the movie, and thus comes with his Ion Blaster accessory (He would end up having an arm mounted cannon in the film), which can be wielded in his hands, mounted on the 5 mm port on his back for robot mode storage, or mounted on the trailer hitch for vehicle mode storage. Due to him being based on control art, his mask&#039;s Cybernetic details and accessory is different from the movie. His gas tanks &#039;&#039;may&#039;&#039; have a tendency to pop off, so don&#039;t pull on them too hard during transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus is mostly molded in gray plastic, with most of his red and &#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039; of his blue details being painted on. Care should be taken when handling the figure, as the black paint on his crotch is prone to chipping over time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Prime is compatible with most of the recent trailers released with his fellow Primes, but they all end up hanging at an angle as the trailer hitch is elevated up too far due to his feet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed in the image to the right, the fuel tanks that are on the back of his legs in robot mode should be folded out for vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;

Prime can wield Chainclaw in chainsaw mode either in his hands, or via 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports on his forearms. He also features 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports on his back and lower legs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like the same line&#039;s Primal, the stock photo of his packaging depicts him being positioned on the left (with Chainclaw on the right) before the actual product swaps their positions. The stock renders depict his front robot crotch being bare silver while the actual product features a spot of black paint on it.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*The original design for what would become &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;&#039;s [[#UltimatePrime|Ultimate Optimus Prime]] toy was significantly different. As Hasbro&#039;s toy designers did not know the purpose of the trailer in the film yet, they created a trailer that opened up to reveal a rotating cannon that Optimus would sit in. Once it was revealed to become a jetpack, the designers had to rush to redesign the toy. Takara&#039;s take became [[#Supreme Class toys|Jetwing Optimus Prime]], though it is currently unknown if theirs was also a last minute change.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citesocial|link=https://twitter.com/playwiththistoo/status/1595146431534600199|quote=That Hasbro trailer was very last minute.

&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;&#039;&#039; starred in a film series that made billions of dollars. Woohoo!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; (2007)==&lt;br /&gt;
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only &#039;&#039;Movie&#039;&#039; Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Legends class Optimus Prime is an &#039;&#039;extremely&#039;&#039; simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in [[robot mode]]. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy&#039;s [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver&#039;s side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. His hands are designed to hold 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm-compatible weapons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy&#039;s subsidiary Subarudo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Based upon the &amp;quot;[[Protoform]]&amp;quot; (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his &amp;quot;entry&amp;quot; mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime&#039;s windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the &amp;quot;vehicle&amp;quot;, creating the illusion of a flaming comet&#039;s tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth, with an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble saying &amp;quot;Exclusive movie poster!&amp;quot;. It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the third wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;]] Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into on-screen. His driver cabin now features a small interior with an opening driver-side door with a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver&#039;s side door is opened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg onto his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a &amp;quot;Supermetal finish&amp;quot;, resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved &#039;flame&#039; paint decorations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for &#039;&#039;20th Anniversary&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime. The package also includes a Robo-Vision Decoder.

Limited to only 3 pieces, it is insanely rare. The photographed sample here features a chromed truck grill, while a boxed unit has an unchromed grey grill; the owners of both pieces, the Mapes Brothers of [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/ Transformers @ The Moon], believe both are genuine TakaraTomy toys, so it is unclear if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.&lt;br /&gt;

: Released as part of the &#039;&#039;Allspark Power&#039;&#039; refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the [[transformation]], this figure actually ends up being &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can&#039;t have your cake and eat it too, folks.&lt;br /&gt;

: A second Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, the gray molded pieces were recolored beige-grey, and multiple parts that were previously molded in blue and red (the chest, shoulder pads, and leg interiors) had their mold colors swapped, with extra [[paint operation]]s to make up the difference. As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the sculpt, in a &amp;quot;doing things differently to achieve a very similar end result&amp;quot; sense.

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released in the first wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;]] Leader Class toys, this Optimus Prime, at the time, was the most accurate representation of the CGI designs&#039; complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [https://web.archive.org/web/20070814100030/http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His [[Ion blaster]] weapon is stored in the rear of the truck&#039;s bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel hitch is sculpted in the rear of the truck. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime&#039;s legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus&#039;s final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime&#039;s eyes, accompanied by a &amp;quot;powering up&amp;quot; sound effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints, and ankles. His hands even have individually articulated fingers and thumbs!&lt;br /&gt;

:The first Nightwatch Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of the previously released Leader-class Optimus Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black.

&lt;br /&gt;
:The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the &amp;quot;[[AllSpark Power]]&amp;quot; second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers. The translucent parts were also cast in purple translucent plastic instead of black translucent plastic.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Detachable, Retractable &amp;quot;energy sword&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a [[retool]] and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The paint deco is... unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners, and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unlike the initial &#039;&#039;Premium Series&#039;&#039; toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment. The instructions still depicts the original Leader Class mold&#039;s head.&lt;br /&gt;

Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro&#039;s Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its &amp;quot;powered up&amp;quot; appearance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:[[Fast Action Battlers|Fast Action Battler]] Power Hook Optimus Prime is a (roughly) Deluxe sized figure made for younger children than the rest of the mainline and was designed to have a quick conversion and an action feature. This actually translates to him being made of a series of Automorph mechanisms that facilitate what is for the most part, a one step transformation. Just split the front of the truck along the seam and Optimus&#039; chest and arms swing into place while his feet pop out. The sides of the truck even feature little sculpted arrows to remind you what to do! He has a little string attached to his missile tied to his &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; to let you imagine he&#039;s reeling things in with his hook. It also means little ones don&#039;t lose it, but other figures in the line featured firing missiles which weren&#039;t tied to anything, so that&#039;s probably not why it&#039;s there. The launching hook isn&#039;t Prime&#039;s only gimmick though, as his waist is spring loaded in one direction for a punch (or maybe even kick) attack. For whatever reason, the balls in his hip joints are cast from clear blue plastic so they may be a point of fragility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unsurprisingly, he is relatively inaccurate to the film&#039;s design.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Trans-scan]]ning Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a &amp;quot;[[core body]]&amp;quot;. To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be transform into his meteor-like &amp;quot;entry mode&amp;quot;. This mode can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime&#039;s Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. Compared to the overly simple transformation of the protoform mode, his truck mode&#039;s transformation can be described as an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging &#039;&#039;mess&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.&lt;br /&gt;

Like most Spychangers, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy has been &#039;&#039;extensively&#039;&#039;, if not &#039;&#039;ridiculously&#039;&#039; painted up to resemble the live-action version Optimus Prime as closely as possible, also making use of metal-flake paint for extra sheen. Of note is the [[tampograph]]ed detailing on his chest resembling movie Prime&#039;s distinctive chest design. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy was a [[campaign item|promotional freebie]], exclusively available in Japan with a pre-order for the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]&#039;&#039; DVD/HD-DVD from Paramount Pictures Japan.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don&#039;t I look awesome with my corpse backpack?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; Legends class Optimus Prime is a much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn&#039;t inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy. It should be noted that he was molded in only one paintable plastic color, with red and blue deco patterns decked on it. The top of the truck&#039;s bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn&#039;t mentioned in the instructions, though they&#039;re hardly needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Compared to the final product, stock photos of the figure loses blue paint operations on his knee armor. This mold was also used to make [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Darkside Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event. Optimus also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen EZ Collection sets. And like all the first waves, he comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the Revenge of the Fallen toyline. His pair of legs is also mistranformed to fit in the bubble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Malaysia, this toy was one of the four Legends Class toys to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He could be obtained starting from the 12th of July, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be warned, there is a very convincing-looking [[knockoff]] that&#039;s been making the rounds. While the paint applications are pretty much identical to the real deal, the pegs on the legs/trunk front can be a little too tight when attached. in some worst cases; it can break off if attempted to pull off by force. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|first movie&#039;s toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot [[insignia|logo]] on the side of the truck&#039;s bunk, and hanzi (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word &amp;quot;上海将军&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;Shanghai General&amp;quot;, while &amp;quot;大将&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;Grand general&amp;quot;. The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Japanese version of the toy, named &amp;quot;Optimus Prime Revenge Edition&amp;quot;, was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail &#039;&#039;Revenge&#039;&#039; toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the [[tampograph]]ed Chinese.&lt;br /&gt;

:An &amp;quot;Asia&amp;quot; version of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Voyager-Class Optimus Prime (see above) was released in a two-pack, except with different writing on him. The writing on this version &amp;quot;勇猛果敢 武士道&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;brave and fierce, resolute and courageous, bushido&amp;quot;, which interestingly can be read in Chinese and Japanese with the same semantic meaning, albeit differing pronunciations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.tfw2005.com/2010/01/30/revenge-of-the-fallen-optimus-prime-and-ravage-redecos-169082&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which is very fitting for Optimus Prime.

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime would have been a redeco of the 2007 Optimus Prime Voyager-Class mold in a similar style to the Leader-Class Buster Optimus Prime (see below), with a much more accurate and detailed paint scheme, including white stenciled flames. He would have come with a set of [[Jetfire (Movie)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]] armour parts to form the powered-up Optimus Prime seen at end of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039;, and due to not having to form Jetfire&#039;s robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie&#039;s design of them than the leader class Jetfire toy could manage. While not combined to Optimus Prime, the armour can be arranged to form a sort of weapon emplacement mode or a jet engine on the back of Optimus&#039;s vehicle mode. &lt;br /&gt;

For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just &amp;quot;Optimus Prime&amp;quot;; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime&#039;s arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime&#039;s arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable. The blades are removable by unscrewing the three screws on the arm lower panel. Removing the blades makes the arms swivel. The flip-out blades would be omitted in the Jetwing and Striker releases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro&#039;s photos is that the sun visors above Prime&#039;s windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime&#039;s lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Overall, the robot mode of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who&#039;s your daddy? He is.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] to form Jetpower Optimus Prime by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy. It is best to not constantly attach and remove Jetfire&#039;s missile gun on the pin of Optimus arm since the pressure applied will bend the pin holding the arm panel of the hood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rotf optimus stock photo 1.jpeg|thumb|right|upright=1]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Like several new-mold &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro&#039;s stock photos of the hand-painted [[prototype]] (pictured right), the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. The rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime&#039;s CG design. The lower arms were originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Finally, his fingers are no longer articulated, and instead the entire hand is now one molded piece. The articulated fingers would later be used for the &#039;&#039;Asia Premium Series&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Movie The Best&#039;&#039; releases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As a result of striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime ends up being remarkably complex for the time, with the figure essentially exploding into a series of chunks and panels that need to be aligned just right in order to come together in truck mode. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even &#039;&#039;harder&#039;&#039;. Also, let us not forget that, upon transforming him back to robot mode, he will declare his identity over and over and over and over and over until you&#039;re finished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release. This version can also attach [[Energon star]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The entire mold became a victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from upscaled (and sometimes simplified) molds to high-quality clones. Several of his redecoes/retools below also suffers from this. &lt;br /&gt;

:This version of Leader-class Optimus Prime features a new lower face sculpt that lacks a [[Mouthplate]], as well as the replacement of his fuel tank/exhaust assemblies with new, transforming versions that can combine into his ion blaster/barrage cannon. To the simultaneous pleasure and displeasure of people who had already purchased the first release of Leader-class &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime, Buster Optimus Prime features an extensive paint job that closely matches Prime&#039;s appearance on the big screen, including covering almost all of his grey plastic with silver paint or chrome, expanding and outlining all of the flame tampographs white for greater accuracy to [[Industrial Light &amp;amp; Magic|ILM]]&#039;s computer model, and generally painting in small details, nooks and crannies that were neglected on the first release due to cost-cutting reasons. The red and blue plastic colors also vary from the original release, to better match his film appearance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market-[[exclusive]] Leader Class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (Movie)#JetfireBuster|Jetfire]] and a slightly altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but unlike the standalone Buster Prime, has a head with a faceplate, itself containing more paint details than the first release of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version &#039;&#039;doesn&#039;t&#039;&#039; use the improved version of Optimus&#039; [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This release of Buster Optimus Prime was susceptible to a paint scraping issue on the silver painted slide-out barrel of his blaster. This problem was fixed for the [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|DOTM Re-release]] by relocating the silver paint app from the barrel to the inside wall of an exposed gas tank that had been previously left as unpainted grey plastic. The black paint app on the barrel was left unchanged. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In mid 2010, this set was released in Australia. In early 2011, it was released in the Philippines. In late 2011, [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|this set]] was [[Rebranding|re-released]] in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; [[packaging]].&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the second wave of 2010 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Voyagers, Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design, while also being much more movie accurate than the previous Voyager incarnations. He features two [[Dual Energon Swords|energon swords]] made of soft plastic, similar to his Leader Class incarnation, albeit not spring-loaded. They can be detached from the mushroom joints they&#039;re on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also has a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] in his chest which is made of unpainted gray plastic. In an awesome homage, the Movie Matrix rests on a stand molded to look like its Generation 1 incarnation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two &amp;quot;[[barrage cannon]]s&amp;quot;. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime&#039;s transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime&#039;s head magically clipping through his chest to transform. The instructions also neglect to mention that his heel/bumper pieces must be slid out until they &#039;&#039;click&#039;&#039;, making the figure just that bit more stable, and that the rotating truck door panels on his upper arms can be pulled further out (but not off) from their sockets, allowing more space for the panels to swing around his hood-arms during transformation. It should be noted that the chest windows on all releases of this sculpt are prone to slight cracking, often out of the packaging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The TakaraTomy &#039;&#039;Autobot Alliance&#039;&#039; release of this toy has some significant differences. Color-wise, the red plastic is in a darker shade, his shin and wheel joints are grey rather than Hasbro&#039;s bronze, and the Matrix of Leadership has been painted silver. More immediately noticeable is that the dual energon swords have been replaced with a pair of battle hooks, similar to 2010&#039;s Leader Class Optimus Prime (see below). However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the swords rather than the hooks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the first wave of &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Leader class toys, this [[retool]] of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader Class Optimus Prime features the head from [[#BusterOptimus|Buster Optimus Prime]], and has had his blades replaced with semi-articulated Battle Hooks for face-destroying action! He has a darker paint job and sports black splotches on his body and head to signify battle damage. However, due to these extra &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; release were omitted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime!&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;We must stop the Decepticons!&amp;quot; The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated &amp;quot;Optimus Prime&amp;quot; sound clip as the original release. To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about &#039;&#039;anywhere&#039;&#039; outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia). The box also mentions racing sounds, which may or may not be referring to the button-activated diesel engine noises carried over from the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; version of the figure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version uses the TakaraTomy version of the instructions, which improved upon the original Leader-Class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: During the period between [[December 26]] 2010 and [[January 31]] 2011, Hasbro ran their &amp;quot;[[Supercharge Your Holidays]]&amp;quot; promotion: for every $20 spent on Hasbro-branded product, customers could receive a free, random product from a list provided by Hasbro.

According to [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=75487 this discussion thread on Allspark.com], Rally Rumble Optimus Prime (as the figure is listed in the thread) was one of the figures distributed. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released as part of the first wave of the [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander class figures, this Optimus Prime is a roughly Scout-sized figure. He comes with a jetpack that can combine with both his truck and robot modes. The jetpack attaches via [[C joint]] clips, and the jetpack can transform in and out of a winged configuration when Optimus is in truck mode. Optimus himself features C joint bars for his smokestacks and trailer hitch, as well as bars on the top of his headache rack, while his hands and jetpack can hold/mount his rifles via C joint-related 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm clips/holes.&lt;br /&gt;

He comes packaged with a pair of {{w|Anaglyph image|Anaglyph}} 3-D glasses for use on the transformers.com website, but they cannot be used to view 3D movies in cinemas. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe&lt;br /&gt;
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], Deluxe Class Optimus Prime features a high range of motion, with ball jointed shoulders and hips, swivels at the neck, knees, and feet, and double swivels in the elbows. As a result of the transformation process, he can also rotate at the waist, though this is hindered considerably by his &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded &amp;quot;Automorph&amp;quot; feature in his head, if the truck kibble pushes the small grey switch from his back before splitting the chest into half. And due to how close the head of the faceplate and the front unpaintable piece is, Optimus&#039; &amp;quot;nose&amp;quot; section has a tendency to chip off after many transformations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime features a [[MechTech]] Blaster that can convert into an Energon Battle Axe reminiscent of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 character]]&#039;s [[Energon-axe|iconic weapon]], though the weapon cannot be locked in battle axe mode. There is also a pair of C joint rods on the underside of both forearms. His MechTech blaster can plug into the port on each of his arms or be held in either hand in robot mode, or plug into one of two holes on his truck roof/robot shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:After step 5, the instructions did not mention that you should fold back the shoulder panels to form the sleeper part until the 11th step. Care must be taken while transforming the legs: the small peg located on the lower leg can be snapped off due to the peg being slightly thick to accommodate with the hole. Also, take note that Optimus Prime cannot wield 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm weapons with longer posts, as the way that his pinky finger is molded prevents the post from pegging down through his hands. Also, take note that the legs&#039; sculpted small rectangle peg (the one that locks the robot mode legs in place) is prone to warping if care is not taken during transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The hand-painted prototype photos from both the packaging and the instructions shows that Prime had long smokestacks, but it was shortened for safety reasons in the final product.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]&#039;s weapon. This figure was also sold at Universal theme parks in new packaging with &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]&#039;&#039; branding. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.&lt;br /&gt;

:These redecoes of the aforementioned Deluxe Class Optimus prime are exclusives to Hong Kong&#039;s [[Milk Magazine]]. They are officially licensed items produced in association with Hasbro Hong Kong to celebrate the magazines&#039; 10th year anniversary in [[2011]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The &amp;quot;Standard&amp;quot; version sports an extremely detailed &amp;quot;premium&amp;quot; and screen-accurate paint job, while the Black version sports a black deco that makes him look very much like [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|if he is dead]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Each figure was sold separately in a black box with a black movie Optimus Prime silhouette that is visible thanks to the &amp;quot;Exclusive Optimus Prime&amp;quot; and the Milk&#039;s 10th anniversary logo. The outside of the box prevents anyone from seeing the figure inside, meaning that you have to open to see if the version that you&#039;ve got is the &amp;quot;Standard&amp;quot; version or the Black version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:They come packed with the same Mechtech weapon from the first release. The stock photos shows the gun with the same colors from the first release of the mold but all chromed all over when in reality it&#039;s all silver.&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; Voyagers, Optimus Prime transforms into an unlicensed modified Peterbilt 379 semi-truck, with heatshield details in his sculpting and translucent solar panels on various parts of his body and huge gas tanks. Optimus himself is differently proportioned, having larger feet and a smaller torso and arms. He also features some [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|faux-kibble/parts]]: His actual windshield chest is being covered by a sculpted panel featuring his characteristic deformed windshield-chest, and a pair of sculpted tires on his thighs. His pair of optics is designed to have a light-piping gimmick, but it was rendered useless since it was painted in smoke gray on top of the colorless transparent plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a large [[MechTech]] Ion Blaster that can convert into a &amp;quot;Battle Cannon&amp;quot;. Like all of the MechTech Voyager class toys, this deployed form can lock into place. Specifically, the weapon must be pressed all the way in and rotated to lock it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Japan, he was released as &amp;quot;Space Optimus Prime&amp;quot;,&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime / MechTech Trailer&#039;&#039;&#039; (MechTech Voyager, [[May 14]], 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;DA-03&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; MechTech Ion Blaster/Energy Blade, MechTech trailer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Release exclusively in Japan, this Optimus Prime is a [[retool]] of the figure above, removing the heat shield and solar panels, as well as replacing any rocket booster parts (such as his heels) and gas tanks with normal truck parts. His light-piping eyes are painted in translucent light blue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also has a new [[MechTech]] Ion Blaster with a flip-out [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], and like all Voyager Class MechTech weapons, it can lock into place by latching one of the levers to the body of the gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His MechTech [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|trailer]] opens up much like Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s trailer (as well as being able to stand up to harken back to the Generation 1 [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]&#039;s upright mode), includes storage for many MechTech weapons inside and out, and is able to transport up to two Deluxe class (or one smaller Voyager) Autobots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The flame deco on Optimus&#039; forearm parts (hidden by the wheels) are flipped in the stock photos, which is present in the vehicle mode. The updated version of the photo (seen in the packaging) features the correct deco. Meanwhile, all of the stock photos of the Ion Blaster/Energy Blade (sans the extra step instruction) depicts the blade as a painted opaque piece.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The instructions also depict his fuel tank assemblies being positioned like the first figure&#039;s gas tanks, though you can swivel them frontwards for a better appearance, as seen in the stock photo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure omits the extended pieces of the side doors in vehicle mode (the ones which can be seen above the gas tanks in robot mode), leaving the sides of the robot mode&#039;s chest exposed. There was a variant version which has the extended pieces, covering the gaps behind the front wheels in truck mode.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze-p4S9Lm7c]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

As part of the set&#039;s lunar theme, reflections of stars are painted across his vehicle mode sides and on his windshield, with a sharp reflection of [[Earth]]&#039;s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in one of his windows. This time, his [[Matrix of Leadership]] is cast in orange plastic. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This exclusive has a peculiar and common error in that the arm hooks&#039; hubs stick out farther than they should, causing a gap that runs down the middle of the cab&#039;s nose in vehicle mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech trailer]], as the original mold has no trailer hitch to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;

:Optimus comes with a &amp;quot;bonus value&amp;quot; Deluxe Class toy, [[Comettor (DOTM)|Comettor]]. The pair together cost a dollar less than a regular Voyager Class toy.

:Fireburst Optimus Prime is a redeco of the standard &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Optimus Prime, sporting a darker shade of blue and a &amp;quot;burning&amp;quot; color scheme that includes replacing all translucent blue parts with translucent orange. Because of this, his light-piped eyes were neutered by opaque light blue paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a MechTech rifle that converts into a large battle axe, and can be locked in by pulling the lever all the way in and tilting it into a gap to the left. The rifle has a separate flip-out handle, while the axe uses the rifle&#039;s long barrel as the handle, meaning that Optimus can grip the axe with both of his hands. This weapon was also retooled in a running change, adding a stop to the handle instead of relying solely on the gear system to prevent the locking assembly from flying off into parts unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Eliminator Gun &amp;amp; Assault Blaster (forms [[Mega Striker]]), shield/battle shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Labeled as a &amp;quot;[[Triple Changer]]&amp;quot;, Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus Prime, with new weapons. The base figure has most of the same mold changes as Jetwing Optimus Prime (see below), but has been altered further; in particular, the transforming smokestacks and fuel tanks/ion blaster parts have been replaced with retooled regular tanks that now function as mounts for the new accessories. The colors on the toy are darker than Jetwing Optimus, with a different flame deco that extends farther along the sides of the toy. Additionally, two new 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us|Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot; saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the &amp;quot;We must stop the Decepticons!&amp;quot; saying of 2010 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a shield with a fold-out handle, allowing Optimus to hold onto it with either hand in robot mode. It has a simple transformation gimmick for vehicle mode which is activated by pressing a button at the top of the shield, causing the sides to spring outwards. In vehicle mode, the shield can be laid flat across the bed of the truck, attaching via a post on the back onto the truck’s trailer hitch. Alternatively, the bumpers on the shield can be rotated outwards, and the front can be bent down in order to form a new front end and hood for &amp;quot;battle vehicle mode&amp;quot;, resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicle modes seen in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the &amp;quot;Eliminator Gun&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Assault Blaster&amp;quot;, which combine into the &amp;quot;Mega Striker&amp;quot;, a rifle that closely resembles the one used in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In &amp;quot;battle vehicle mode&amp;quot;, the sides of the truck are rotated up, and the guns can be attached by small pegs to holes in the modified smokestacks, or they can plugged into any of the standard connection points with their [[5 mm post|5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all Japanese &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime&#039;s ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime&#039;s blaster is painted silver with a black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is left as unpainted grey plastic (exactly like the blaster on the original single-boxed ROTF Buster Optimus Prime). After receiving numerous reports from customers that the silver paint on the slide-out barrel was easily scraped off by merely transforming it from gas tank to blaster, Takara-Tomy briefly stated in an interview that they had addressed the issue for the Dark of the Moon packaged version by swapping the placement of the silver paint application. Thus, the Dark of the Moon packaged version now features the slide-out barrel on Prime&#039;s blaster as unpainted grey plastic with an unchanged black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is now painted silver.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader class Buster Optimus Prime, with an accompanying large jet pack and massive dual Gatling Cannons. The base Optimus Prime figure has several modifications including: a new stomach area and elbow flares to reflect the changes to Optimus Prime&#039;s CG model in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, modified lower arms to incorporate MechTech ports and clips for the cannons, and a retooled area under his back so the jet pack can fit on more securely. The dual energon blades mounted on his arms have been removed. The toy retains Buster Optimus Prime&#039;s electronics, but batteries are not included. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Jetwing jet pack attaches onto Optimus Prime via a part that hooks onto one of the hinges behind his neck, and a spring-loaded clamp that latches onto a recessed area under Optimus&#039; back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus&#039; Ion Blaster must be removed for this mode, and they can be stored inside the engines for the jet pack. The Jetwing can be used on previous Leader Optimus Primes from &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; onwards, but due to the lack of modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn&#039;t as stable. The jet pack features four MechTech ports on the main wing articulation points, and two [[C joint]] mounting points on each wing. The Gatling Cannons both feature two MechTech ports and 2 C joint mounts on either side of each cannon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime&#039;s flight tech for &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all Japanese &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Jetwing Optimus Prime was available for early purchase in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 (held at Tokyo Bic Sight) on [[June 18]] to [[June 19|19]], shortly before its wide release in July.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Billed on his packaging as &amp;quot;BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!&amp;quot;, Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; Optimus Prime on its own, roughly equivalent to a Voyager in size and complexity, though with a lower degree of screen-accuracy than most large Optimus toys. Prime has 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm fist holes, as well as additional 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports on his front wheel wells and both sets of external fuel tanks. Four of these remain available in robot mode. The trailer has twelve more 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus&#039; trailer]] transforms into nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although this renders the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation, having no leg articulation whatsoever aside from swinging the hips out slightly and twisting at the ankles for maximum stability. The armor adds six more 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the four from the cab robot and the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has his own pair of 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can hold itself up using folding blue supports, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime&#039;s gigantic Ultimax Super Cannon, an electronic light-and-sound weapon the size and mass of a Deluxe figure. The whole cannon attaches to a special socket slightly behind Prime&#039;s shoulders, can store on the back or flip over to be gripped in both fists in armor mode, or stored upside-down underneath the trailer in truck mode. When pointed forward, the cannon has a larger helmet styled after Prime&#039;s own with a large translucent face shield featuring a painted targeting system. The weapon has three electronic modes: each of two small buttons plays its own weapon-firing noise and flashes one set of lights, while the large pull-switch in the cannon&#039;s center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot;. The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot;, allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus&#039; imaginary &amp;quot;flight&amp;quot; operations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Although the trailer is made exclusively for the cab with which it comes, it is scaled much more closely to and can be pulled by Optimus Prime&#039;s &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader class iteration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Japan, Ultimate Optimus Prime comes with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;

The toy was released as a &amp;quot;{{w|Dragon (zodiac)|Year of the Dragon}}&amp;quot; Special Edition in [[2012]], since the Chinese Zodiac sign for that year is the Dragon.&lt;br /&gt;

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Optimus Prime (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. You simply slam him down on the big blue button on the back end of his truck mode and he transforms thanks to spring-loaded mechanisms. To transform him back, just slam him down again on the same blue button. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockingly, he actually has arm articulation! Swivels at his shoulders allow you to rotate his arms 360 degrees! Go little Prime! Unfortunately, because his big blue button sits right under his feet, his robot mode is a little unstable when it comes to standing.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Bash Bots&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is a small, rock-em-sock-em-styled toy that transforms from a super-deformed truck into a robot by pulling or pushing the lever below it&#039;s built-in stand.

:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Go-Bots toys. Prime&#039;s pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, the motor gimmick really comes to the fore—his head, shoulders, and legs move in time with his forward movement. His legs pump up and down, his shoulders pump up and down, and his head rocks side-to-side. This gives the toy the illusion that it&#039;s running, rather than just rolling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The other gimmick for Prime is his auto-transform gimmick. From truck mode, push him down on his back bumper and his bonnet automatically folds back and his arms automatically pop out. He needs to be transformed back manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, Go-Bots Optimus Prime has a limited swivel joint for head articulation, and while he has other movable joints, all of them are spring-loaded and unable to hold a pose.&lt;br /&gt;

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of &#039;&#039;Kre-O&#039;&#039;. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable &amp;quot;sleeper&amp;quot; cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set&#039;s two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|&#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a &amp;quot;headquarters&amp;quot; which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it&#039;s a building kit, surely you can find &#039;&#039;someplace&#039;&#039; to apply most of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 Optimus]]), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional &amp;quot;Matrix chest&amp;quot; Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.&lt;br /&gt;

He has a ferrous-metal backpack, which is used to interact with the magnetic parts in the various sets. In this specific set&#039;s case, it&#039;s so he can be grabbed by the buildable [[Strafe (AOE)#Kre-O|Strafe]]&#039;s dino-claws, once Strafe uses said claws to open up the &amp;quot;laser&amp;quot; cage made to contain Optimus. (Yeah, we know Strafe appears way after Optimus ditched this look in the movie.)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This version of Optimus uses the micro-Kreon build introduced in the &#039;&#039;Kre-O Cityville Invasion&#039;&#039; sets. He comes with a mini-build of dino-mode [[Grimlock (Kre-O)#DinobotRide|Grimlock]] as part of a small bagged kit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This set was only available on [[June 28]] as part of a special promotion at Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us, given away free from noon to 2pm (roughly) as part of an in-store building event that coincided with the opening weekend of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]&#039;&#039; and the final day of a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale on all &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; product.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The building set also comes with a poster with a preview of all Kre-O Transformers products released in 2014. Remaining stock of the kit (new condition, of course) is later dumped to several Hobby Shops in Asia.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Optimus rifle&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of &amp;quot;movie&amp;quot; Optimus is based on his &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; incarnation, as that&#039;s how he appears in &amp;quot;[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]&amp;quot; and as a mascot character on the park grounds. He is available exclusively in a box set sold at The Ride&#039;s gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks. After several years of &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; being available at the park proper, the four-pack was eventually added to Universal&#039;s online store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies. Optimus&#039;s [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged. This set would later see slight production changes; all of the figures&#039; tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, while Optimus&#039;s medium-pearlescent-gray plastics (his arm-mounted smokestacks) have been lightened considerably and lost a significant amount of metallic sheen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In mid-2020, the set was revamped again &#039;&#039;again&#039;&#039;, now removing Evac and replacing him with the [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]]. This version of the set uses the latter version of the other three characters with the thicker tampograph lines and lighter medium-gray plastic.&lt;br /&gt;

With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: One of the Mini-Con limb-bots (Soundwave helmet) is based on the original movie version of Optimus. The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus&#039;s original body. Two of his limbs are based on &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). And the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]! The heck?&lt;br /&gt;

Included is the trailer originally available with the &#039;&#039;Chronicle&#039;&#039; release. The trailer holds up to seven MechTech or similar 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm peg accessories. Four holes are located on the top-front end of the trailer, with another three inside. The door also folds down to become a ramp, and the inside of the trailer is big enough for several Legion or Commander Cyberverse toys, or one smaller-end Deluxe figure. Two [[C joint]] bars also run along the bottom of both sides. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The center section of the inner trailer floor has been retooled so it can no longer be pulled out and flipped over, since bottle cap figurines aren&#039;t really sold in the West outside of import shops. However, the framework on the bottom of the trailer can be unscrewed to allow this piece to be flipped or, for the more industrious fan, have the tabs removed to restore the function. There is still an indent to make flipping the sliding section up easier, hinting at the neutered feature.&lt;br /&gt;

:Unlike both the Walmart exclusive Deluxe figure and the Japanese release, no weapon accessories are included.&lt;br /&gt;

:Similar to the &#039;&#039;[[Activators]]&#039;&#039; toyline, One-Step Changer Optimus Prime features a spring-loaded transformation. He features swivel articulation in the head and both arms. He shares a similar (not identical) transformation with his fellow One-Step changer, Hound. Also, due to his transformation scheme, his shoulders can be pushed forward (the arms is pushed on the same time), which also allows him to wield a close ranged weapons with longer handles with both hands.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;First Edition Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (2014)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;&#039;14 OF 30&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; toy line]]. Prime is a Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star &amp;quot;5700 OP&amp;quot; concept truck vehicle mode and his updated robot mode from the film (well, mostly based on his initial design rather than the final design in the movie). His transformation is much simpler than his counterparts from the previous three movie lines, being billed as transforming in &amp;quot;15 easy steps.&amp;quot; His torso, shoulders, upper legs, and the vehicle mode grill are all completely chromed with the exception of minor blue and red details painted on his chest. However, this comes at the expense of his smokestacks and wheels being bare gray plastic, whereas they are chromed in the film. His [[shellformer|simplified transformation]] also comes at the expense of having a very bulky &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. His truck kibble can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own, though this is not an intended feature of the toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via a 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post. In truck mode, the sword is stored underneath, while the shield mounts onto the trailer hitch. The sword also features a [[5 mm post|5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime&#039;s trailer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was only available as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, but was also released at brick and mortar retails in Australia and Hasbro&#039;s Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as &amp;quot;14 of 30&amp;quot; in Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]&#039;&#039; campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;fepress&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; First Edition Optimus Prime]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies &#039;&#039;another&#039;&#039; product as &amp;quot;14 of 30&amp;quot;, which doesn&#039;t sport any such markings on its packaging &#039;&#039;either&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;retro&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Hasbro Thrilling 30 retrospective] on Facebook, mirrored [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/hasbro-transformers-30th-anniversary-thrilling-30-exclusives-retrospective-gallery-181598/ here] on TFW2005.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Like all of the AOE &amp;quot;Silver Knight&amp;quot; Optimus Prime toys, this was a Target exclusive.

&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime comes with the same sword, now molded in orange plastic with no paint operations. This set omits the shield seen in the First Edition and Silver Knight versions of this mold. It is omitted as there is no place in the truck mode to store it, since the trailer now takes over the trailer hitch, which is where the shield was supposed to be stored, though you &#039;&#039;technically&#039;&#039; could have stored it in the trailer. This toy is still compatible with the First Edition and Silver Knight versions of the shield, though neither match the color scheme well.&lt;br /&gt;

:The stock photo on the right shows him with the side panels of the truck on his backpack incorrectly flipped out. They should be split and tabbed together.&lt;br /&gt;

He comes with a redeco of Generation 1 [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]]&#039;s sword, which can be wielded by his 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, &#039;&#039;especially&#039;&#039; with the shoulder kibble &amp;amp; the bottom leg&#039;s posts (This can be amended if you slightly widen the holes with 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm hand drills). As with the original &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class figure, the instructions don&#039;t mention about forming the sleeper part until step 10, the pinky finger prevented the sword to peg down through his hands, and of course: his truck mode can attach with the Armored Weapons Platform included in the &#039;&#039;Chronicle&#039;&#039; or the &#039;&#039;Movie Trilogy Series&#039;&#039; figure.

 &lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class toys, &amp;quot;Evasion Mode Optimus Prime&amp;quot; is based on the character&#039;s initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime&#039;s White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a &amp;quot;default&amp;quot; 90° position. Also, while you transform him back to truck mode, his hands must be in the same sideways position to ensure the truck kibble is properly flushed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus includes a spring-loaded missile-firing &amp;quot;ion cannon&amp;quot; modeled after Megatron&#039;s shotgun from &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, with the missile features a sculpted shotgun nozzle on the front section. It can be held in his hand or attached to the top of the truck cab or truck bed via 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In time-honored tradition, Prime&#039;s instructions depict the toy with an alternate &amp;quot;[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]&amp;quot; head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]&#039;&#039; and &amp;quot;Rusty&amp;quot; releases of the figure (see below). Additionally, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him with extra white/silver [[Paint operation|paint detail]]s, especially on his chest and wheel rims, as well as having gray upper arms with red details, among other differences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy, but slightly larger than his &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; toy&#039;s truck) he is quite tall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Movie Advanced Series&#039;&#039; toys, is dubbed &amp;quot;Classic Optimus Prime&amp;quot;, and opts for a deco closer to Prime&#039;s previous on-screen appearances, omitting the blue paint on his feet and hands to reveal the gray plastic underneath, and adding new paint details all over. Instead of painting it in clear light blue, his light-piping eyes are neutered with opaque light blue paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction: Generations&#039;&#039; Leader Class toys, this is yet &#039;&#039;another&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;big&amp;quot; Optimus Prime figure. While smaller than the First Edition toy, this one features more silver and chrome paint in vehicle mode, a more poseable robot mode, and a Vector Shield accessory instead of the Sentinel Shield. Unlike the First Edition figure, Leader Class Optimus Prime&#039;s pauldrons and hip-skirts are formed from truck kibble, giving him a marginally smaller backpack. His accessories have roughly the same functionality as the First Edition toy, with his sword being hand-held and pegged onto his hands or storing underneath the truck, and his shield mounting onto his left forearm or storing on the back of the truck. Additionally, the sword sheath underneath the truck can be folded up and used in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It should be noted that this Optimus Prime can accommodate the [[Dual Energon Swords#Dark of the Moon|Battle Blade]] accessories to recreate the scene of him fighting against Galvatron.&lt;br /&gt;

:This figure was only made available as a store [[exclusive]] in parts of Europe, at least in the United Kingdom (at Argos) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Apparently, early plans for the shield were to have it colored gold and silver, but it was later changed to gray and red. When a hand-painted [[prototype]] of the toy was first displayed at the 2013 New York Comic Con, the shield was colored yellow and silver; in addition, the original versions of the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] also depict the gold color, but the versions featured on the back of the toy&#039;s [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy&#039;s colors for the shield. Meanwhile, the versions of the stock photos provided to websites and online retailers depict the shield in its final colors for the robot mode, whereas the vehicle mode photo is the unedited version featuring the shield&#039;s original colors. Furthermore, UK-based retailer Argos also featured unedited versions of the stock photos for both modes in one of its catalogs, causing some confusion among fans.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;argos&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/991761-uk-getting-different-leader-decos-optimus-yellow-vector-shield.html TFW2005 thread] about outdated stock photos used in Argos catalog.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Sometimes, the spring loaded &amp;quot;[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]&amp;quot; feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime, he transforms into a Western Star &amp;quot;5700 OP&amp;quot; concept truck as seen in the film, in &#039;&#039;4 steps&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
::1. Press 2 buttons on the truck steps make the side panels pop out in position.&lt;br /&gt;
::2. Fold down the front section to transform it&#039;s robot mode legs.&lt;br /&gt;
::3. Fold back the rear parts to form the kibble.&lt;br /&gt;
::4. Position the arms into place, and Optimus will announce &amp;quot;Transform!&amp;quot;, with a classic transformation sound effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Like Stomp &amp;amp; Chomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers, activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He has notably less kibble than other &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime toys... from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so lucky, with large chunks of truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he&#039;s wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Sword of Judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; leader class Optimus, but cast in flat grey rubbery plastic rather than the transparent plastic and paint operations of the initial release. This Optimus Prime erroneously features blue paint on his feet instead of the screen-accurate red.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released to conclude the 10th Anniversary of the live-action film series, &#039;&#039;[[Masterpiece Movie Series]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime transforms from a 25 cm-tall robot (a little taller than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]) resembling how the character appeared in the first live action movie into a &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;Kenworth W900&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; modified Peterbilt 379, in 43 steps, with many of the engineering cues being distinctively based and improved on the [[#Leader_Class_toys_2|&#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader Class mold]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure has diecast metal in its feet, shins, and abdomen. It features pinstriped flames, articulated fingers, a headsculpt with a face that can rotate between masked and unmasked modes in a method identical to Armor Knight Optimus Prime&#039;s, and an abdomen that opens to reveal a chamber housing a diecast Matrix of Leadership. He comes with said Matrix, his &amp;quot;Rifle&amp;quot; (aka &amp;quot;Ion Cannon&amp;quot;), and a pair of &amp;quot;Energy Swords&amp;quot; that tab in behind his wrists in a technically inaccurate fashion (they should replace the hands entirely). All three weapons can combine and store on the trailer hitch in vehicle mode or robot mode. Speaking of, Optimus can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|trailer]] from &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; MP-10 Convoy. Possibly due to this feature, he is actually too short in robot mode, deviating from the scale much more than his peers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/mpm-3rd-party-scale-discussion.1194209/page-2#post-17949152 Thread discussion on the MPM scale], which lists Weijiang&#039;s upscaled knockoff of MPM Optimus deviating from the scale by being 0.93 cm too short; and taller than the real MPM by 3 inches.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:Though the figure does a much better job of conveying the on-screen character model than the ROTF Leader Class mold did, there are still a few inaccuracies—most notably the forearm and shoulder pad designs and the head/torso proportions. The final product also lacks certain paint details visible in stock and packaging imagery, such as the blue rings on his feet and the gold on his pelvis. In both the final product and stock photography, the silver detailing on the forehead is the wrong shape as there should not be a break in the silver. It should be noted that this mold does not combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Leader Class toys|Jetfire]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In addition, it is very difficult, if not impossible for the vehicle mode to tab together properly. The entire cab assembly breaks apart very easily as the tabs lack sufficient friction to keep it together, resulting in either a gap forming between the front windows and the hood or part of the hood raising up. This is due to a mold change seen in early prototypes and the toy packaging where the red abdomen sections tab in lower, inaccurately exposing the hinge between it and the chest windows. The pipes that are supposed to connect to the bottom of the smokestacks also don&#039;t swing out far enough to properly do so if the feet are tabbed together completely. Two sets of plastic rings on posts connect each of the shoulders to the torso - the ring that ends up on top in vehicle mode is slightly too thick and often filled with stress marks straight out of the packaging and can create stress marks on the torso piece it&#039;s connected to. The same ring can also make it &#039;&#039;extremely&#039;&#039; difficult to tab the cab together. Since the lower ring is on a separate part and still keeps the joint connected, it can be helpful to disassemble the figure and cut away the upper ring to alleviate both problems, but do so at your own risk. Since the windows don&#039;t tab in in vehicle mode, the chest piece, which is &#039;&#039;rather&#039;&#039;  thin and tabs in to the grille as well, is under an extreme amount of stress. This cause breakages on a few number of copies, specifically in the piece which swivels outwards on the secondary joint of the chest piece. While this breakage is rare, care should still be taken when transforming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy release replaces the dark gray plastic on the Hasbro version with lighter tan gray as well as adding some of the missing paint applications shown on the box, with the thighs and gas tanks still missing silver paint. The mold tolerances have been adjusted, and transforming to truck mode properly is possible with a degree of variation on some copies. The Hasbro and TakaraTomy versions both have misassemblies on the sleeper cabin hinges, where they are reversed, although this does not affect transformation. The TakaraTomy release is packaged in truck mode, whereas the Hasbro version is packaged in robot mode. Due to the changes made for the Takara release, it is theorised that the Hasbro version was rushed to meet the anniversary year and/or Toys &#039;R Us exclusivity deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Much like his ROTF ancestor, he is a frequent victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from clones that fix the issues above to high quality upscales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[Starscream (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|As]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|expected]], the [[:File:MPM4Optimus.jpg|Hasbro stock photos]] have the figure mistransformed in both modes. The backpack is a mess, the chest and torso bits aren&#039;t properly configured, and the smokestacks in truck mode aren&#039;t extended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the United States, Canada, and Hasbro&#039;s Asian markets, &#039;&#039;Masterpiece Movie Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime was exclusively available from [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]], whereas in Spain, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour. It&#039;s currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply &amp;quot;Toys-Shop&amp;quot;, but again might have been available online only.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The second &#039;&#039;Masterpiece Movie Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime transforms from a robot based on his appearance in the &#039;&#039;Bumblebee&#039;&#039; mid-credits scene into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film&#039;s ending scene, much like the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; toy [[#SS38|below]]. He comes with his &amp;quot;Ion Blaster&amp;quot; used in the Cybertron sequences in the film, which can be folded and stored behind his cab. He also includes a new [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#MPM12|Matrix of Leadership]], despite the Matrix never appearing or being mentioned in the movie. Similar to the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece Movies Series&#039;&#039; toy above, Optimus Prime can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP44|trailer]] included with MP-44 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|Convoy]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, due to reduced parts count and possibly cost-cutting measures, the trigonal [[kibble]] on his shoulders ends up slightly protruding on the vehicle mode. This also results in a somewhat amusing appearance for the truck mode, as the placement of the said kibble looks like it has a pair of cat-ears. The truck bed is also quite unfinished, having little semblance to the real thing. Additionally, he is one of the lightest(even compared to the carbots) MPM figures to date. For a MPM figure of this price and size, he has an unusually low count of die-cast parts, since he only has die-cast gas tanks(which are small) and a die-cast Matrix of Leadership.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For an MPM figure, his hands are rather compromised in articulation, as his index finger can only open to 90 degrees, lacking the double joint on it that most figures with a 3 finger-trigger finger split have. This may have been because his fingers needed to be posed at a 90 degrees pose for a secure grip on his matrix, but [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|other figures]] have been able to do it without the fingers needing to be locked, so this is purely a cost cutting measure done by Hasbro. Prime also has a design flaw in his wrists. Its flips out on a joint for transformation, but the joint is too weak to support the weight of the ion blaster. Combine that with a gaping hole in his arm underneath his wrists, his hands end up drooping downwards if Prime holds the blaster in a 90 degree or downwards arm angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hasbro [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLtuM8DJeY9/ stock photography] depicts much brighter and saturated colors, as well as clear blue windows. TakaraTomy stock photography (right), which was revealed months later, features darker, more film-accurate colors, and clear grey windows. Despite both versions of the toy using TakaraTomy&#039;s stock photography, only TakaraTomy&#039;s version includes the accurate grey windows, as well as unpainted red plastic sun visors. The box also features the peculiar (&#039;&#039;especially&#039;&#039; for a Masterpiece figure) call-out &amp;quot;Articulated Head&amp;quot; depicting Optimus just... turning his head to the left. The photography is also strangely low resolution compared to previous releases in the line, possibly a consequence of 2020 pandemic complications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was revealed on February 25, 2021 via live-stream. It is a [[Target]] exclusive in the United States and a [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] exclusive in Canada. The toy was reissued in the fall of 2024, $6 cheaper than its original price. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure would be redecoed into MPM-12N [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)#Masterpiece|Nemesis Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;

:Knight Armor Turbo Changer Optimus Prime is a Voyager-sized figure that transforms from truck to robot in just 2-steps: pulling his whole truck kibble to the front then fold down to complete the robot mode, although converting him back requires some few steps.

While the main body is identical to the figure, the arms and legs are newly tooled, with simple assemblies for the wheels.

:Although &#039;&#039;MechTech&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime&#039;s deco is similar to the initial release, some of his parts (robot shoulder flaps, chest piece/truck front) were recast in blue plastic (with the chest being painted red), and his paint applications on the pelvis, headlights &amp;amp; thighs are omitted. His front truck hood/backpack&#039;s deco is altered: the truck steps and the fenders were painted blue, and the gold gradients on the flame tampographs are removed, while he features additional flame tampos on both sides of his front hood, and an Autobot Insignia on his left robot shoulder.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Voyager-sized Optimus Prime has a similar transformation scheme to [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Generations|&#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Galvatron]], notably the shoulders, rooftop backpack, and the leg/wheels combo based on his Leader Class figure. He features a similar but different transformation scheme, which results in a somewhat clean robot mode, although most of his vehicle kibble hangs on his back. He also features the sword &amp;amp; the shield based on his final design in the movie, albeit the sword being painted similarly to the Armor Knight Optimus Prime&#039;s sword. His sword can store underneath his Vehicle mode or his robot mode backpack, while the shield can be stored on the truck&#039;s fifth wheel hitch, which can also tow the trailer included from the Japanese exclusive [[#VoyagerTrailer|Mechtech Voyager]]. Although the pectoral armor can be slightly pushed up a little bit further, the pieces have to actually stop at where the rectangular peg holes are located.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Surprisingly, this was also the first Hasbro exclusive transforming Movie Optimus Prime figure to be based on the final design seen in &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039;. He even features the forearms that Prime had before obtaining the Sword of Judgement, which unfortunately means that he is inaccurate to his appearance in the battle of Hong Kong and the entirety of &#039;&#039;The Last Knight&#039;&#039;. The sword&#039;s blade is still painted as the heated-up version from the concept art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like the larger &#039;&#039;First Edition&#039;&#039; figure, this toy is a rather egregious [[shellformer]], to the point where you can actually separate the robot mode from his vehicle shell if you &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; wanted to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The 2018 giveaway event-exclusive [[Quad Barrel Shotgun#Generations|Quad Barrel Shotgun]] accessory can be used for this figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:At least a &#039;&#039;very small&#039;&#039; number of units feature a faceplate-less head sculpt.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Transformers The Last Knight Voyager Optimus Prime Variant Found&amp;quot; at [https://news.tfw2005.com/2017/05/10/transformers-last-knight-voyager-optimus-prime-variant-found-338649 TFW2005]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Hasbro stock photos of the toy are &#039;&#039;slightly&#039;&#039; mistransformed: his pectoral armor is not folded correctly in robot mode. This figure was also released in Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us Japan on May 1st, 2017 as a store exclusive, likewise identical to the Hasbro release. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The CG stock photos feature extra silver paint apps on the lower thighs and hands, which the final product does not feature.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released as one of the prizes from the &amp;quot;Midnight Madness&amp;quot; event in a Toys R&#039;Us in Singapore, this Optimus Prime is a redeco (of sorts) of the Voyager Class figure. The figure&#039;s deco is unchanged from the standard release, but he now has weathered battle damage paint all over him (yes, this includes applying to unpaintable plastic). In addition, the bright yellow paint is applied onto the blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In some countries like Malaysia, Prime could be obtained by buying some certain items for an expensive price, given away along with a similarly &#039;battle-damaged&#039; redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]]. He was also released as a prize figure for the Transformers Atrium Fair in Takashimaya B2 Atrium located in Singapore from 13 till 26th June 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was also available at the movie launch event in a Toys R&#039;Us in Hong Kong, as a prize for spending HKD$1,500 on Transformers-related products.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Sword, Shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This exclusive redeco of Optimus Prime features darker shades of red and blue than his other releases and has extensive paint applications to resemble his on-screen appearances in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]&#039;&#039;, particularly his Nemesis Prime alter ego. To that end, he features movie-accurate flame patterns, which are larger and more elaborate than the ones on the regular release or the SDCC exclusive, on his vehicle mode exterior and robot pectoral armor. His eyes and sword are also painted metallic purple, but his shield is completely unpainted for some reason. His lighter gray plastic has been totally replaced by a &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; dark grey(almost black) plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Dark Optimus Prime could be purchased along with advance tickets for &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]&#039;&#039; via movie cards from June 25, 2017, on the Omni7 website, and from September 29, 2017, if the item was purchased without advance tickets.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;San Diego Comic-Con 2017&#039;&#039; exclusive Optimus Prime figure is another redeco of the &#039;&#039;Premier Edition&#039;&#039; figure, which aims for a more movie-accurate look than the original by still sharing the same paint masks, but replacing the chest&#039;s deco with flames and adding extra paint applications on the legs, arms, chest, head, tire rims, both sides of the engine compartment, and the sword and shield... but for some reason still sports the movie-inaccurate blue &#039;collar&#039;, as well as the smaller, less accurate vehicle flame tampographs instead of the more movie-accurate ones used on Dark Optimus Prime. His Autobot insignia is also moved on the upper back section of the air dam. He is packaged in a stylish, display-case-like-box similar to later &#039;&#039;Transformers: Alternators&#039;&#039; releases and the Hasbro Toy Shop/SDCC 2011 exclusive figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hilariously, Optimus Prime also comes with an &#039;&#039;authentic tire piece&#039;&#039; from a Western Star 5700XE truck (no seriously, look it up.). His stock photo is also &#039;&#039;slightly&#039;&#039; mistranformed: his pectoral armor is not rotated properly in robot mode. Also, the fifth wheel hitch pieces seem to be missing on his robot mode stock photos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:This redeco of the [[#Voyager Class toys 4|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Optimus Prime]] figure features a really unusual deco pattern consisting of red transparent tires, the vehicle front grill and fuel tanks (the fenders remained opaque red due to unpaintable plastic). Some of his parts like the vehicle front hood and the truck roof feature a pattern similar to the ones used for the [[Tech Spec]]s in the &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; toys. He features a new sword and shield accessory, which can be used to decode the patterns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the United Kingdom, this Optimus Prime was released as an Argos exclusive along with several other sets branded as part of the &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; [[subline imprint]]. His United States release was initially claimed to be exclusive to [[Target]] by online retailers from Asia, but even though the other &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; products eventually became available at Target, Voyager Class Optimus Prime was released as a [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] exclusive in the United States instead, complete with a &amp;quot;Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us exclusive&amp;quot; sticker. Also, both his United States and Asian releases lack the &amp;quot;Reveal the Shield&amp;quot; logo the United Kingdom release has (but still feature the &amp;quot;Reveal hidden images&amp;quot; call-out).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released exclusively in Asia, Shadow Spark Optimus Prime is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; [[#Leader Class toys 5|Leader Class Optimus Prime]], featuring dark grey plastics, weathered deco patterns, and some opaque plastic which was recasted from transparent plastics. He features a scratched Autobot insignia on the right side of his sleeper-cab, and a Cyberglyphic on the left side of the front hood. Some weathered parts does not match well with some other parts (the fenders, for example).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In May 2017, the figure was released as a lucky draw item by Coca-Cola, along with the limited edition cans, as part of China&#039;s promotion for the movie.

&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus Prime is a somewhat/nearly screen-accurate redeco (dedeco?) of the Leader Class figure, but uses the original Leader mold instead of the Armor Knight retool, unfortunately. In comparison to the first &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Leader Class figure, his vacuum-metalized front truck bumper, sun visors, robot mode chest, smokestacks, and side tanks were omitted, revealing the grey plastic underneath. His chromed chest was also stripped of chrome for adding paint operations, his shield was unpainted, and both of his sword and truck mode windows were cast in colorless plastic. He also features some extra silver paint on his robot mode forehead, and his white-colored Autobot insignia is slightly tampographed on the left. And lastly, his light-piping eyes are neutered by blue paint.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Temenos Sword, Calibur Axe, Overshield/Fifth Wheel Hitch, Energon Sword (limited edition)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Calibur Optimus Prime is a retool of the Armor Knight Optimus Prime figure, itself a retool of the original &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Leader Class figure. In a clever bit of [[partformer|partforming]], the fifth wheel hitch now forms a handheld shield based on the one used in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], which results in a backpack-less robot mode. As such, the shield that came with prior versions has been omitted (though it&#039;s still fully compatible, of course). The figure can be transformed without partsforming if so desired, leaving a backpack like the original leader, but the sword will not store on his back due to the remolding. He also comes with an axe based on the one used in the third film.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The initial release of the figure comes with a limited edition Energon Sword. According to [https://amzn.asia/d/9lU57nG Amazon Japan&#039;s page] and the instructions, the included Energon Sword &amp;amp; Axe is compatible with &#039;&#039;Movie The Best&#039;&#039; MB-11 Optimus Prime figure (seen above), which basically makes Calibur Optimus Prime a weapon expansion pack for said figure. Said compatibility, however, makes the weapons(other than the sword)too big for this figure, since the ROTF Leader mold is bigger than this one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unlike the &#039;&#039;Movie Advanced Series&#039;&#039;&#039; Armor Knight figure, the blue plastic and red paint are less metallic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The back of the packaging features a small typo, notably the word &amp;quot;kinetic&amp;quot; being written as &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Kinetic&#039;&#039;&#039;k&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;. The bio also denotes the elemental metal as &amp;quot;Cyber-Matter&amp;quot; living metal, which is a term that originates from the [[Aligned continuity family]]. Oddly, TakaraTomy&#039;s stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout &amp;quot;battle figure&amp;quot; included with Telebi Magazine&#039;s [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Calibur Axe was later redecoed into &amp;quot;Bronze Calibur Axe&amp;quot;, as a giveaway accessory for the 3rd &#039;&#039;The Last Knight Final Battle Campaign&#039;&#039; in Japan. In 2018, Optimus Prime is released along with [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TLKLeader|Megatron]] as part of the TakaraTomy Mall exclusive &amp;quot;Optimus Prime VS Megatron&amp;quot; set. &lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers Tribute]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is a redeco of the [[#Leader_Class_toys|2007 Leader Class toy]], to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the [[live-action film series]]. While the deco&#039;s paint mask is the same as the said figure, he features a more saturated blue and red, and chromed feet/front grills and front fenders used for the [[#LeaderMA21|MA-21]] redeco, and he also features chrome on both sides of the stomach. While the Hasbro stock photo shows that his feet are &#039;&#039;slightly&#039;&#039; mistransformed in robot mode, the Takara stock photos shows his feet correctly flipped out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was also released as an Amazon Japan exclusive. &lt;br /&gt;

:Released as part of a new line called &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Tribute]]&#039;&#039;, Orion Pax is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Titans Return&#039;&#039; [[Kup (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Sergeant Kup]], and transforms from a red-and-blue Cybertronic pickup truck which is also an homage to &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;Generation 1 [[Crosshairs (G1)#Generation 1|Crosshairs]]&#039;s vehicle mode&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Collector&#039;s Edition|Orion Pax&#039;s original e-HOBBY toy]]. His Titan Master, retooled from [[Recoil (G1)#Generations|Flintlock]], features a new face that is based on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Deluxe|&#039;&#039;Thrilling 30&#039;&#039; Orion Pax toy]]. As a redeco of the Kup mold, Orion Pax still suffers the leg panel misassembly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The set also includes a redeco of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|&#039;&#039;Generations War for Cybertron&#039;&#039;]] Optimus Prime figure, which changes the original figure&#039;s dark red plastic to a brighter, more vibrant red, changes the gray plastic to a darker charcoal tone, changes the &amp;quot;windows&amp;quot; from gray to nearly black, and replaces most of the original figure&#039;s pink-ish red paint details (which were yellow on the redeco from the &amp;quot;Rage over Cybertron&amp;quot; three-pack) to teal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The use of a G1-based Orion Pax design and an Aligned-based Optimus Prime design with Movie Optimus Prime packaging art makes it hard to know where on the wiki this should go, but given the general movie-themed bent of the &#039;&#039;Tribute&#039;&#039; line, we&#039;re putting it here. A few months after the 2-pack&#039;s release, &#039;&#039;Tribute&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime &amp;amp; Orion Pax saw worldwide release through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], including an Amazon Japan listing bearing a &#039;&#039;The Last Knight&#039;&#039; ID number. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Studio Series]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime transforms from a robot into a Peterbilt 379 semi-truck. He comes his [[dual Energon Swords]], which can be mounted onto his arms or store on the back of his robot mode or truck bed. The figure combines engineering concepts from his &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; [[#Voyager Class toys 5|Voyager Class figure]] with techniques previously used on &#039;&#039;Prime: First Edition&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Prime: First Edition|Optimus Prime]]. He also features a more subdued color scheme compared to other Optimus Prime figures. Like the rest of the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; figures, the figure prioritizes robot mode [[scale]] and thus stands shorter than his Voyager Class wavemate [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Starscream]]. The CG renders depict him possessing long smokestacks, but the final product has them shortened... again. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the forest battle from &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm compatible arms can fit with most weapons with the same post size, some of the weapons&#039; handles can barely fit on it due to either the slightly thickened tab or thin sculpted panels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The rear truck cabin/back kibble can turn slightly floppy over time in robot mode, as there are no tabs and holes to secure it. Despite being labeled as the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; version of the character, this mold is not meant to combine with the later released [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], although it can be achieved with some [[Fan mode|fiddling]]. However, it &#039;&#039;can&#039;&#039; carry (but not combine with) &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[#SS44|44 Optimus Prime]]&#039;s trailer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While stock photos and renders show the figure with a faceplate, this [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/1859790330757819/?type=3&amp;amp;theater image] posted by the Transformers Facebook page shows him with his mouth exposed. This was later found as a variant at least [http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/05/07/transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-faceplate-less-variant-images-363449 once]. A running change was made, [https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/variant-transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-with-blade-colour-difference/41133/ changing the blades to be more translucent]. The semi-translucent blades release features a date code &amp;quot;73461&amp;quot;, whereas the translucent orange blades version features a date code written as &amp;quot;80171&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:TakaraTomy&#039;s stock photo of the robot mode depicts the right elbow bent &#039;&#039;backwards&#039;&#039; instead of forwards. Ouch!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; (though sold under the first &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film&#039;s branding), this &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is an extensive retool of the figure above, featuring many new parts, namely a new backpack, chest piece, back of thighs, forearms, a (removable) abdominal area, and lower legs with a pair of non-transforming fenders. These new parts lead to [[Show-accuracy|a better resemblance]] to his appearance in the first two movies and allow him to combine with &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]] to form &amp;quot;Jetwing Optimus Prime,&amp;quot; while resulting in a somewhat more involved transformation. His color scheme features a much higher contrast than the previous release. Inexplicably, he has silver paint apps added on his forearms that actually make him &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; accurate than if it were left as the bare red plastic underneath, while forgetting to accurately paint a different section of his forearms blue. Unfortunately, as a trade-off for having a more accurate robot mode, his vehicle mode suffers; his front drive tires lift off the ground, he&#039;s missing the toolboxes behind his fuel tanks, some of his robot mode kibble is exposed beneath his doors, and several of the floodlights above his windshield are gone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Instead of Energon Swords, he now comes with an [[Ion blaster]] like that used in the battle of [[Mission City]]. It can be stored on various rectangular peg holes in Prime&#039;s vehicle mode or on the larger rectangular pegs on his cab nose/forearms or on the robot mode&#039;s back. While this Optimus figure can use the first mold&#039;s blades, the new molding prevents the swords from being properly stored on the robot&#039;s back, and using the intended &amp;quot;underslung&amp;quot; grip displaces his forearm armor slightly. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the highway fight with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the first &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film. Since the Leader Class figure below is a redeco of this one, it should come as no surprise that this one is fully compatible with the trailer and jet pack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The panels with the fuel tanks are connected to his back by small friction pegs, and have a tendency to pop off during transformation, though they can easily be reattached. This was fixed in later versions of the mold. As the front grills rely on a hook-and-tab assembly to complete the truck mode and combined with the fact that they&#039;re molded in translucent plastic completely painted over in silver, the painted tabs can wear down and break off during transformation, leaving a gap in the front of the truck mode. Care must be taken when combining him with Jetfire, as it can place much stress on the hinges that the grills are connected to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The packaging stock photo features him having a misassembled hip, which is facing backward. Speaking of misassembly, a small number of Optimuses have two left or right upper arms. These errors prevent the front section from fully transforming. This can be identified by viewing the front section while he&#039;s still in-package.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His rear wheels were later reused for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|&#039;&#039;Earthrise&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime]], while the front wheels appear to have been slightly retooled for use on the &#039;&#039;Earthrise&#039;&#039;&#039;s trailer as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus was reissued through [[Walmart]] in November 2025. The reissue does have the pinned back panels seen with later uses of the mold, and the package art has been updated slightly, most notably removing the cross-sell of &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Bonecrusher (Movie)#Studio Series|Bonecrusher]] that was on the back.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/possible-studio-series-ss-32-voyager-optimus-prime-reissue-found-at-us-retail.1284174/#post-23830862 Comparison between original and reissue boxes of SS-32, TFW2005]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The third &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is based on his appearance in &#039;&#039;[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]&#039;&#039;, and as such closely resembles the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 Optimus design]]. He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film&#039;s final scene. As a result, the truck frame is about half the length of the one used in the film, lacking the prominent gap between the gas tanks and the rear axle, but this makes him appear closer to the truck he turned into in G1. Optimus comes with the [[Ion blaster]] he is seen wielding in the film&#039;s Cybertron sequences and a backdrop featuring the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] where he meets up with Bumblebee. The blaster can peg into the fifth wheel hitch in vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While his truck mode scales with most of the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; brethren, Optimus&#039;s robot mode shares the same height as the other Optimuses in this section, which means that he towers over his original size in the film. Unlike his appearance in the movie, this Optimus&#039;s design closely resembles [[Mark Yang]]&#039;s concept art of the character, complete with flat feet. Unlike most of the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; figures, this Optimus doesn&#039;t have any insignia tampographed or sculpted on. The silver weathering on his stomach varies from figure-to-figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, the grey lower leg panels tend to disconnect/dislodge if the feet are swiveled, or if the pressure is applied downwards while standing. The silver-painted hinged panels on the sides of his truck mode (and to an extent, the painted crotch) are prone to chipping due to being involved in the transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Some versions of this figure feature tabs on the top of the inside of the front window frame, that have no hole to peg into on the robot torso, seeming to be remnants of a late-stage design change, that do interfere with vehicle mode holding together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was one of the items that were released as part of Hasbro&#039;s Transformers 35th Anniversary promotional mailer box&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/21/transformers-35th-anniversary-promo-box-in-hand-388546&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and was also given a repaint as part of TakaraTomy&#039;s own [[#35th Anniversary|35th Anniversary exclusive set]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was reissued as a GameStop exclusive shortly after the [[March 28]], [[2024]] fanstream.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the second toy with a new stomach area that is molded to be accurate to his appearance in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, complete with a new trailer forming his weapons platform and combat armor. His arsenal includes two cannons, an energon axe, an energon sword, a shield, and a slightly redecoed (de-decoed?) Ion blaster from the second toy, losing its blackened barrel. He also comes with a unique backdrop depicting his confrontation with the [[Driller]] in the Battle of Chicago. His fellow Leader Class Autobot, [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], comes packaged with a replacement &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;-accurate abdomen piece, allowing them to combine... though the piece is color-matched to Optimus&#039;s first &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; 05 release, a figure that lacks this figure&#039;s new molding and is thus incompatible with Jetfire. In addition to the new deco and molding, the hinges on his back that the panels with the fuel tanks are attached to now have pins, preventing the pieces from popping off when swiveling them into position during conversion. Care should still be taken when transforming the front grill, as the tab needed to hold it together still has the potential to break on this version of the mold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In terms of deco, Optimus features gradient orange paint on his forearms/truck front which the Voyager Class release didn&#039;t have, while the formerly transparent parts are now cast in opaque blue plastic, with both his real and [[kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|faux windows]] painted silver. Meanwhile, the CG stock renders feature several color and deco details that are inaccurate to the final toy; notably, the joints on his grille section are shown to be orange rather than gray, the windows are shown to be transparent rather than opaque, and all the weapons are shown to be painted, even though the only weapon that actually features &#039;&#039;any&#039;&#039; paint on the final toy is the sword. Conversely, both the CG render &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; the near-final stock photo of the robot mode show the new abdomen piece as being painted in a single red color, while the final product (including the TakaraTomy stock photos) have the details in the center section painted in movie-accurate silver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The CG render on the front packaging is a rather lazily edited version of the Optimus Prime art (complete with &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;-styled abdomen), with the Jetwing unit slapped on his back. There are also a few obvious design oversights, with no actual means of attaching the shield to Prime&#039;s arm in a shield-like manner, the handle of the axe colliding with the arm panel if pushed in all the way, and no official instructions on how to store the Ion blaster in the trailer. At least for the blaster, it can still use the ports on the truck as before, and there is sufficient space in the trailer itself to store the blaster or a few other accessories. And while Prime himself has been improved to prevent parts popping off, the dark grey &amp;quot;shoulder straps&amp;quot; on the Jetwing have a frustrating tendency to pop off due to the raised rectangular details directly under them, meant to hold them in place with friction but instead causing the part to flex and deform under pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Despite the figure&#039;s size classification, Prime himself is Voyager-sized (obviously, seeing as he&#039;s a retool of a previous &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Voyager). The Leader Class price point comes from the extra accessories that he comes packaged with.&lt;br /&gt;

:&amp;quot;15th Anniversary&amp;quot; Optimus Prime is a redeco of the second &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; figure, featuring slightly minimized/altered paint applications and plastic color changes. Aside from that, he doesn&#039;t come with the Ion blaster included with the regular release but instead comes with the two swords included with the original &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; version of the mold, cast in a slightly more reddish clear orange and painted a brighter silver instead of gunmetal. In terms of deco, Optimus&#039;s metallic gray plastic is replaced with a light shade of grayish silver, the paint operations on his forearms and lower legs are omitted, and the previously colorless plastic used on the real/faux truck windows is now translucent black. The new blue paint used for most of the torso/truck cab is a noticeably different shade compared to the blue plastic, whereas the blue paint on the original release was a much closer match to the plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Interestingly, the robot mode stock render and photo show Optimus wielding his swords with the blades on the inside of the arms instead of the outside. Unlike the original SS-32 release, this release comes with the securely pinned back hinges used for the Leader Class figure. There has been one instance of yellowing on the grey plastic used, but it is not known if it is a widespread issue or an isolated instance. As with previous versions of this mold, the tabs that hold the front grill together in truck mode have the potential to break.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure comes in an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive 5-pack alongside redecoes of &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Bumblebee]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ironhide]], [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ratchet]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#SS15thAnniversary|Jazz]], released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the first live-action [[Transformers (film)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film]]. The pack comes with a unique reversible backdrop depicting the alley where the Autobots first met Sam on one side and the exterior of Sam&#039;s house on the other.&lt;br /&gt;

:&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; 15th Anniversary&amp;quot; Optimus Prime is another release of the [[#SS32|SS-32 mold]] with [[#Studio Series|SS-05]]&#039;s Energon swords, though this time both sport their original decos. The digital render and stock photos for this release have him holding the swords correctly. This also comes with the securely pinned back hinges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure comes in an Amazon exclusive pack alongside &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Jetfire (Movie)#SSROTF15th|Jetfire]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)#SSROTF15th|Chromia]], [[Arcee (Movie)#SSROTF15th|Arcee]], and [[Elita-One (Movie)#SSROTF15th|Elita-1]], released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the second live-action Transformers film. Although this version of Optimus is technically for the first movie, its inclusion makes sense as this mold is the one that combines with Jetfire. The box meanwhile reuses SS-05&#039;s package art. The pack comes with a unique reversible backdrop with the first version of the &amp;quot;Pyramid Desert Battle&amp;quot; scene on one side and the &amp;quot;Shanghai Pursuit&amp;quot; scene on the other.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the 18th wave of &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Leader Class figures, Optimus Prime is based on his &amp;quot;knight&amp;quot; appearance in &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039;, specifically with the arm design prior to obtaining the Sword of Judgment, though he still includes the sword. He is about the same height as his prior &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Voyagers, filling out his price point with higher mass and parts count, including opening fingers and enough articulation to hold his sword with both hands. Easily missed, the truck hood on his backpack can be hinged up, which gives more room for his waist to rotate. His waist rotation does not include his crotch armor, which can make some poses look a little awkward. Curiously, his thigh armor has been incorrectly rendered as separate hip skirts like on his [[#Leader Class toys 5|2014 Leader Class mold]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He transforms into a licensed Western Star 5700EX truck in 44 steps. The fifth wheel hitch works with the trailers of his Generation 1 counterpart&#039;s most [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Earthrise|recent]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Studio Series|toys]], though they both end up hanging at an angle. He can&#039;t tow the trailer of his [[#SS44|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; version]] due to that trailer’s larger peg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus includes the Sword of Judgement, the Vector Shield, a silver-painted Energon blade, and a storage adapter piece. The sword features a removable hilt so figures without opening hands can wield it. The Vector Shield can be reassembled into its cannon mode using 5 mm connections. The sword and shield connect to the adapter piece to store on his robot back (this unfortunately results in his roof panel sticking up obtrusively behind his head) and in the truck hitch. The Energon blade can tab into his wrist and stores on tabs on either side of his back (though this risks chipping the paint on those tabs) and on tabs at the back of the truck mode.Undocumented, the blade can also attach to an otherwise unused tab underneath the shield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus&#039;s large kibble backpack can be easily popped off its mushroom peg to give him a cleaner profile at the cost of weapon storage. There is also a [https://youtu.be/Kwk2zBPpL7o&amp;amp;t=1045 fan mode] that provides a more secure (and cleaner!) storage for the Sword in truck mode. This is done by opening the back of the truck cab and threading the hilt end of the sword into the oddly-perfectly sized space between the smokestacks and back of the cab, and then closing it back up. The adapter piece with shield attached can still be slid onto the blade and attached securely onto the fifth wheel hitch. Care should be taken not to damage the Sword when transforming back to robot mode, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus is missing some sculpting on the smokestacks that is present in the instructions, as well as having the tips of his smokestacks trimmed off. His official product description includes two major errors: the first mislabels Optimus&#039; truck mode as a Western Star 4900EX rather than a 5700EX. The second is the mention of a swappable head gimmick, which designer Evan Brooks quickly clarified would not be the case.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citesocial|quote=Hello! That description seems to be an error. He doesn&#039;t come with an alternate head.|link=https://twitter.com/TFHypeGuy/status/1879335782542168556|name=Evan Brooks (via TFHypeGuy)|site=Twitter|year=2025|month=01|day=14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to being larger and heavier than previous Voyagers, this Optimus can barely ride &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Grimlock (AOE)#Studio Series|Grimlock]], another Leader Class figure from years prior. Fortunately, a Titan Class version of [[Grimlock (AOE)#SSTitan|Grimlock]] was released the next year, featuring a dedicated spot and peg for this Optimus to ride!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus was first teased at the October 2024 MCM Comic Con London, before being officially announced on [[January 13]], 2025. Pre-orders went live the next day.&lt;br /&gt;

He comes with the updated forearms and biceps (though his hand armor was not retooled to match), an unmasked headsculpt, Quad Barrel Shotgun, and wrist blade based on &#039;&#039;The Last Knight&#039;&#039;, omitting the Energon sword. In addition to his red war paint, he features a darker color scheme to signify his brainwashing by Quintessa and further differentiate him from the prior release. Due to all the new parts being cast in blue plastic, he is even &#039;&#039;more&#039;&#039; blue.&lt;br /&gt;

:Released as part of the &#039;&#039;Bumblebee&#039;&#039; Energon Igniter&#039;s Speed Series line, this Optimus is a Legends/Legion-sized mold that transforms from robot into a Cab-over truck with the transformation scheme shared with the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers (2010)]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#2010Legend|&#039;&#039;Reveal The Shield&#039;&#039; Legends Class toy]], and he features 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm compatible hands.

&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to its simplified transformation, Optimus&#039; robot shoulder parts ended up sticking out from his truck mode, and his upper cabin panel ends up being integrated with his head.

To this end, he features less swirly, flat grey plastic and additional paint operations on the hand dorsals, the front windows&#039; joints, the lower legs&#039; grey plastic, and the stomach section (with the weathering removed). The gunmetal on his forehead and faceplate is now silver, the knees&#039; details are omitted, and he features tampographed Autobot insignias on his shoulders. In preliminary stock imagery such as the images to the right the shoulder insignias were depicted as only white outlines on the red plastic without the &#039;face&#039; and &#039;eyes&#039; filled out in red and white respectively, but the actual product had the insignias correctly colored.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released as part of the &#039;&#039;[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]&#039;&#039; subline, Optimus Prime is now based on his appearance in &#039;&#039;Rise Of The Beasts&#039;&#039; - reusing only the windshield, wheels, and some transformation cues from [[#SS38|SS-38 Optimus Prime]]. He is rather impressively made using only 4 new molds compared to the usual 9. Optimus includes a new blade and arm cannon accessory. The blade can be handheld or mounted on his wrists, and both accessories can be used on either arm or stored on his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a Freightliner FLT. Both accessories can be stored in the truck bed. The vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed in the stock images; the panels with the Autobot symbols on the front of his arms should be folded down and the fuel tanks in his legs should be folded out. He shares some transformation elements with MPM-12 Prime above, particularly in the arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure is rather notorious for a number of design choices that are questionable at best, and outright designs flaws at worst. The shoulder articulation is extremely limited, resulting in him only being able to shrug when his arms are raised to the sides. Due to the mold and budget limitations, the truck has some prominent kibble in the rear and lacks a fifth wheel hitch. In some copies, his transformation scheme causes his rearmost tires to lift off the ground. The instructions imply the chest panels open out 90 degrees, but they only open to about 45. There&#039;s enough clearance and the plastic is thick enough that it shouldn&#039;t break if forced, but don&#039;t try to force it regardless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also features design flaws in the grey panels on each forearm designed to open and allow the transformation of the hands. If opened all the way, a surface on the interior of each panel obstructs the fist you&#039;re trying to fold out or in and places undue stress on the wrist joint which can lead to Prime&#039;s hands snapping off at the base of their mushroom peg connection. So exercise caution and only open these grey panels to 45 degrees which paradoxically affords more clearance, rather than the full 90 to try and avoid this. There&#039;s also clearance issues between those panels and the roundel in the elbow which can pop the flaps off if the elbow is anything but straight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Whether by coincidence or by design, his chest can open up along with a third panel (that includes a faux grill not seen in either mode for some reason) in a manner that replicates his Matrix chamber in the 1986 movie, though no Matrix of Leadership toys can fit inside without impeding his transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the United States, this figure is exclusive to [[Target]] stores like the rest of the &#039;&#039;Buzzworthy Bumblebee&#039;&#039; line, though a small quantity was also offered for preorder via [[Hasbro Pulse]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:If you really wanted to, you can swap the head with SS-38 Optimus to give that one a more accurate head, since they share the same sized ball joint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As per [[Hasbro]] designer [[Evan Brooks]] in the [[Hasbro Pulse]] livestream debuting &#039;&#039;[[Studio Series]]&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Rise of the Beasts&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)#Optimus Primal|Optimus Primal]], &amp;quot;spare space on the tooling&amp;quot; was used to pack in an axe accessory with Primal specifically intended for this figure that was costed out of the initial release.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[June 20]], 2023&#039;s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjLY0uamTKM Hasbro Pulse Transformers Fanstream] on YouTube, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Mark Maher]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Rich Pellegrino]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:Released as part of the first wave of &amp;quot;Core&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (toyline)|Rise of the Beasts]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime is based on early control art for the movie, and thus comes with his Ion Blaster accessory (He would end up having an arm mounted cannon in the film), which can be wielded in his hands, mounted on the 5 mm port on his back for robot mode storage, or mounted on the trailer hitch for vehicle mode storage. Due to him being based on control art, his mask&#039;s Cybernetic details and accessory is different from the movie. His gas tanks &#039;&#039;may&#039;&#039; have a tendency to pop off, so don&#039;t pull on them too hard during transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus is mostly molded in gray plastic, with most of his red and &#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039; of his blue details being painted on. Care should be taken when handling the figure, as the black paint on his crotch is prone to chipping over time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Prime is compatible with most of the recent trailers released with his fellow Primes, but they all end up hanging at an angle as the trailer hitch is elevated up too far due to his feet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed in the image to the right, the fuel tanks that are on the back of his legs in robot mode should be folded out for vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*The original design for what would become &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;&#039;s [[#UltimatePrime|Ultimate Optimus Prime]] toy was significantly different. As Hasbro&#039;s toy designers did not know the purpose of the trailer in the film yet, they created a trailer that opened up to reveal a rotating cannon that Optimus would sit in. Once it was revealed to become a jetpack, the designers had to rush to redesign the toy. Takara&#039;s take became [[#Supreme Class toys|Jetwing Optimus Prime]], though it is currently unknown if theirs was also a last minute change.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citesocial|link=https://twitter.com/playwiththistoo/status/1595146431534600199|quote=That Hasbro trailer was very last minute. The original trailer opened up to a rotating cannon Op could sit it which was a far superior design. Takara nailed it with their take.|site=Twitter|name=Rik Alvarez|year=2022|month=11|day=22}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; (2007)==&lt;br /&gt;
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only &#039;&#039;Movie&#039;&#039; Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Legends class Optimus Prime is an &#039;&#039;extremely&#039;&#039; simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in [[robot mode]]. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy&#039;s [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver&#039;s side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. His hands are designed to hold 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm-compatible weapons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy&#039;s subsidiary Subarudo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Based upon the &amp;quot;[[Protoform]]&amp;quot; (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his &amp;quot;entry&amp;quot; mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime&#039;s windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the &amp;quot;vehicle&amp;quot;, creating the illusion of a flaming comet&#039;s tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth, with an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble saying &amp;quot;Exclusive movie poster!&amp;quot;. It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the third wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;]] Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into on-screen. His driver cabin now features a small interior with an opening driver-side door with a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver&#039;s side door is opened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg onto his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a &amp;quot;Supermetal finish&amp;quot;, resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved &#039;flame&#039; paint decorations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for &#039;&#039;20th Anniversary&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime. The package also includes a Robo-Vision Decoder. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy has been retroactively declared part of the &#039;&#039;Premium Series&#039;&#039; of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.&lt;br /&gt;

:A gold-chromed version of the Voyager Optimus Prime toy was available as part of the same Lucky Draw contest as the Golden Protoform Optimus (see above) in the December 2007 issue of &#039;&#039;TV Magazine&#039;&#039;. Limited to only 3 pieces, it is insanely rare. The photographed sample here features a chromed truck grill, while a boxed unit has an unchromed grey grill; the owners of both pieces, the Mapes Brothers of [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/ Transformers @ The Moon], believe both are genuine TakaraTomy toys, so it is unclear if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Released as part of the &#039;&#039;Allspark Power&#039;&#039; refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the [[transformation]], this figure actually ends up being &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can&#039;t have your cake and eat it too, folks.&lt;br /&gt;

: A second Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, the gray molded pieces were recolored beige-grey, and multiple parts that were previously molded in blue and red (the chest, shoulder pads, and leg interiors) had their mold colors swapped, with extra [[paint operation]]s to make up the difference. As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the sculpt, in a &amp;quot;doing things differently to achieve a very similar end result&amp;quot; sense. This version was only available in a pack with an unchanged Deluxe Class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)#FreewayBrawl|Bonecrusher]].&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Released in the first wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;]] Leader Class toys, this Optimus Prime, at the time, was the most accurate representation of the CGI designs&#039; complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [https://web.archive.org/web/20070814100030/http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His [[Ion blaster]] weapon is stored in the rear of the truck&#039;s bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel hitch is sculpted in the rear of the truck. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime&#039;s legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus&#039;s final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime&#039;s eyes, accompanied by a &amp;quot;powering up&amp;quot; sound effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints, and ankles. His hands even have individually articulated fingers and thumbs!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the &amp;quot;[[AllSpark Power]]&amp;quot; second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers. The translucent parts were also cast in purple translucent plastic instead of black translucent plastic.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a [[retool]] and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The paint deco is... unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners, and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unlike the initial &#039;&#039;Premium Series&#039;&#039; toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment. The instructions still depicts the original Leader Class mold&#039;s head.&lt;br /&gt;

:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro&#039;s release. Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro&#039;s Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its &amp;quot;powered up&amp;quot; appearance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:[[Fast Action Battlers|Fast Action Battler]] Power Hook Optimus Prime is a (roughly) Deluxe sized figure made for younger children than the rest of the mainline and was designed to have a quick conversion and an action feature. This actually translates to him being made of a series of Automorph mechanisms that facilitate what is for the most part, a one step transformation. Just split the front of the truck along the seam and Optimus&#039; chest and arms swing into place while his feet pop out. The sides of the truck even feature little sculpted arrows to remind you what to do! He has a little string attached to his missile tied to his &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; to let you imagine he&#039;s reeling things in with his hook. It also means little ones don&#039;t lose it, but other figures in the line featured firing missiles which weren&#039;t tied to anything, so that&#039;s probably not why it&#039;s there. The launching hook isn&#039;t Prime&#039;s only gimmick though, as his waist is spring loaded in one direction for a punch (or maybe even kick) attack. For whatever reason, the balls in his hip joints are cast from clear blue plastic so they may be a point of fragility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unsurprisingly, he is relatively inaccurate to the film&#039;s design.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Display stand, set of truck mode armor, set of protoform armor, open-palmed hands&lt;br /&gt;
{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Trans-scan]]ning Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a &amp;quot;[[core body]]&amp;quot;. To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be transform into his meteor-like &amp;quot;entry mode&amp;quot;. This mode can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime&#039;s Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. Compared to the overly simple transformation of the protoform mode, his truck mode&#039;s transformation can be described as an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging &#039;&#039;mess&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.&lt;br /&gt;

Like most Spychangers, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy has been &#039;&#039;extensively&#039;&#039;, if not &#039;&#039;ridiculously&#039;&#039; painted up to resemble the live-action version Optimus Prime as closely as possible, also making use of metal-flake paint for extra sheen. Of note is the [[tampograph]]ed detailing on his chest resembling movie Prime&#039;s distinctive chest design. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don&#039;t I look awesome with my corpse backpack?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; Legends class Optimus Prime is a much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn&#039;t inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy. It should be noted that he was molded in only one paintable plastic color, with red and blue deco patterns decked on it. The top of the truck&#039;s bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn&#039;t mentioned in the instructions, though they&#039;re hardly needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Compared to the final product, stock photos of the figure loses blue paint operations on his knee armor. This mold was also used to make [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Darkside Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event. Optimus also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen EZ Collection sets. And like all the first waves, he comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the Revenge of the Fallen toyline. His pair of legs is also mistranformed to fit in the bubble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Malaysia, this toy was one of the four Legends Class toys to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He could be obtained starting from the 12th of July, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be warned, there is a very convincing-looking [[knockoff]] that&#039;s been making the rounds. While the paint applications are pretty much identical to the real deal, the pegs on the legs/trunk front can be a little too tight when attached. in some worst cases; it can break off if attempted to pull off by force. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|first movie&#039;s toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot [[insignia|logo]] on the side of the truck&#039;s bunk, and hanzi (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word &amp;quot;上海将军&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;Shanghai General&amp;quot;, while &amp;quot;大将&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;Grand general&amp;quot;. The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Japanese version of the toy, named &amp;quot;Optimus Prime Revenge Edition&amp;quot;, was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail &#039;&#039;Revenge&#039;&#039; toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the [[tampograph]]ed Chinese.&lt;br /&gt;

The writing on this version &amp;quot;勇猛果敢 武士道&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;brave and fierce, resolute and courageous, bushido&amp;quot;, which interestingly can be read in Chinese and Japanese with the same semantic meaning, albeit differing pronunciations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.tfw2005.com/2010/01/30/revenge-of-the-fallen-optimus-prime-and-ravage-redecos-169082&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which is very fitting for Optimus Prime.

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime would have been a redeco of the 2007 Optimus Prime Voyager-Class mold in a similar style to the Leader-Class Buster Optimus Prime (see below), with a much more accurate and detailed paint scheme, including white stenciled flames. He would have come with a set of [[Jetfire (Movie)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]] armour parts to form the powered-up Optimus Prime seen at end of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039;, and due to not having to form Jetfire&#039;s robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie&#039;s design of them than the leader class Jetfire toy could manage. While not combined to Optimus Prime, the armour can be arranged to form a sort of weapon emplacement mode or a jet engine on the back of Optimus&#039;s vehicle mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Both Jet Power Optimus Prime and the accompanying redeco of Voyager-Class &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#UniteMegatron|Megatron]] would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|&#039;&#039;Unite for the Universe&#039;&#039; comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece Movie]]&#039;&#039; releases of Leader-Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]].

&lt;br /&gt;
:Voyager-Class [[Stratosphere]] comes with a transformable Optimus Prime mini-figure that deploys from his cargo bay, based upon scenes from the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; movie. The articulation is limited to hinges on his arms, legs and shoulders, all three of them being contingent from his transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Towering at only barely over two inches, this is actually not just the smallest movie-verse Optimus but even the smallest transformable figure of Optimus Prime for a while - ironically enough, being even slightly tinier than the [[Smallest Transforming Transformers]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy is also the basis for the fiction-only [[Transformers Part One]] version of [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:ROTF Leader OptimusPrime.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I will not stop telling you that I am Optimus Prime. Ever!]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (Leader, 2009)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;RA-01&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie&#039;s Leader-class Optimus Prime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie&#039;s [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime&#039;s entire pectoral region &amp;quot;flexes&amp;quot;, lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot; in [[Peter Cullen]]&#039;s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just &amp;quot;Optimus Prime&amp;quot;; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime&#039;s arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime&#039;s arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable. The blades are removable by unscrewing the three screws on the arm lower panel. Removing the blades makes the arms swivel. The flip-out blades would be omitted in the Jetwing and Striker releases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro&#039;s photos is that the sun visors above Prime&#039;s windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime&#039;s lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Overall, the robot mode of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who&#039;s your daddy? He is.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] to form Jetpower Optimus Prime by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy. It is best to not constantly attach and remove Jetfire&#039;s missile gun on the pin of Optimus arm since the pressure applied will bend the pin holding the arm panel of the hood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rotf optimus stock photo 1.jpeg|thumb|right|upright=1]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Like several new-mold &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro&#039;s stock photos of the hand-painted [[prototype]] (pictured right), the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. The rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime&#039;s CG design. The lower arms were originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Finally, his fingers are no longer articulated, and instead the entire hand is now one molded piece. The articulated fingers would later be used for the &#039;&#039;Asia Premium Series&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Movie The Best&#039;&#039; releases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As a result of striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime ends up being remarkably complex for the time, with the figure essentially exploding into a series of chunks and panels that need to be aligned just right in order to come together in truck mode. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even &#039;&#039;harder&#039;&#039;. Also, let us not forget that, upon transforming him back to robot mode, he will declare his identity over and over and over and over and over until you&#039;re finished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release. This version can also attach [[Energon star]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The entire mold became a victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from upscaled (and sometimes simplified) molds to high-quality clones. Several of his redecoes/retools below also suffers from this. &lt;br /&gt;

He is another in a long line of [[black repaint]]s, swapping most of his red and blue plastic for black, some of his bright grey plastic for a cool grey and blue, and is covered with gold and silver flames.

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of Leader-class Optimus Prime features a new lower face sculpt that lacks a [[Mouthplate]], as well as the replacement of his fuel tank/exhaust assemblies with new, transforming versions that can combine into his ion blaster/barrage cannon. To the simultaneous pleasure and displeasure of people who had already purchased the first release of Leader-class &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime, Buster Optimus Prime features an extensive paint job that closely matches Prime&#039;s appearance on the big screen, including covering almost all of his grey plastic with silver paint or chrome, expanding and outlining all of the flame tampographs white for greater accuracy to [[Industrial Light &amp;amp; Magic|ILM]]&#039;s computer model, and generally painting in small details, nooks and crannies that were neglected on the first release due to cost-cutting reasons. The red and blue plastic colors also vary from the original release, to better match his film appearance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market-[[exclusive]] Leader Class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (Movie)#JetfireBuster|Jetfire]] and a slightly altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but unlike the standalone Buster Prime, has a head with a faceplate, itself containing more paint details than the first release of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version &#039;&#039;doesn&#039;t&#039;&#039; use the improved version of Optimus&#039; [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This release of Buster Optimus Prime was susceptible to a paint scraping issue on the silver painted slide-out barrel of his blaster. This problem was fixed for the [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|DOTM Re-release]] by relocating the silver paint app from the barrel to the inside wall of an exposed gas tank that had been previously left as unpainted grey plastic. The black paint app on the barrel was left unchanged. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In mid 2010, this set was released in Australia. In early 2011, it was released in the Philippines. In late 2011, [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|this set]] was [[Rebranding|re-released]] in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; [[packaging]].&lt;br /&gt;

: This release of Optimus Prime is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime with predominately red forearms and red/silver thighs, which it was meant to be a &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039;-inspired deco.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He comes bundled with redecos of [[The Fallen#Transformers (2010)|The Fallen]], [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Legends Class toys 3|Megatron]], [[Jetfire (Movie)#Legends Class toys 2|Jetfire]], and [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Legends Class toys 3|Starscream]] in a [[Kmart]]-exclusive five-pack. To date, this is the only Hasbro release of this figure that acknowledges the combining feature between Jetfire and Optimus Prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This redeco was also re-released as part of the &#039;&#039;Chronicle&#039;&#039; EZ Collection lineup. ([[#Chronicle|See below]].) &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This Japanese-exclusive release of Optimus Prime features much more black coloring than the previous releases, and it&#039;s (coincidentally) based on the Fast Action Battlers Power Armor Optimus Prime toy, so as to be used with the similarly-repainted Legends Jetfire figure to form the Optimus&#039; powered up combination. For some reason, he has red eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This redeco also uses the slightly-smaller fuel tank/elbow tabs from the &amp;quot;Battle Damaged&amp;quot; release. &lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the second wave of 2010 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Voyagers, Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design, while also being much more movie accurate than the previous Voyager incarnations. He features two [[Dual Energon Swords|energon swords]] made of soft plastic, similar to his Leader Class incarnation, albeit not spring-loaded. They can be detached from the mushroom joints they&#039;re on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also has a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] in his chest which is made of unpainted gray plastic. In an awesome homage, the Movie Matrix rests on a stand molded to look like its Generation 1 incarnation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two &amp;quot;[[barrage cannon]]s&amp;quot;. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime&#039;s transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime&#039;s head magically clipping through his chest to transform. The instructions also neglect to mention that his heel/bumper pieces must be slid out until they &#039;&#039;click&#039;&#039;, making the figure just that bit more stable, and that the rotating truck door panels on his upper arms can be pulled further out (but not off) from their sockets, allowing more space for the panels to swing around his hood-arms during transformation. It should be noted that the chest windows on all releases of this sculpt are prone to slight cracking, often out of the packaging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The TakaraTomy &#039;&#039;Autobot Alliance&#039;&#039; release of this toy has some significant differences. Color-wise, the red plastic is in a darker shade, his shin and wheel joints are grey rather than Hasbro&#039;s bronze, and the Matrix of Leadership has been painted silver. More immediately noticeable is that the dual energon swords have been replaced with a pair of battle hooks, similar to 2010&#039;s Leader Class Optimus Prime (see below). However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the swords rather than the hooks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the first wave of &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Leader class toys, this [[retool]] of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader Class Optimus Prime features the head from [[#BusterOptimus|Buster Optimus Prime]], and has had his blades replaced with semi-articulated Battle Hooks for face-destroying action! He has a darker paint job and sports black splotches on his body and head to signify battle damage. However, due to these extra &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; release were omitted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime!&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;We must stop the Decepticons!&amp;quot; The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated &amp;quot;Optimus Prime&amp;quot; sound clip as the original release. To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about &#039;&#039;anywhere&#039;&#039; outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia). The box also mentions racing sounds, which may or may not be referring to the button-activated diesel engine noises carried over from the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; version of the figure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version uses the TakaraTomy version of the instructions, which improved upon the original Leader-Class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: During the period between [[December 26]] 2010 and [[January 31]] 2011, Hasbro ran their &amp;quot;[[Supercharge Your Holidays]]&amp;quot; promotion: for every $20 spent on Hasbro-branded product, customers could receive a free, random product from a list provided by Hasbro.

:Released as part of the first wave of the [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander class figures, this Optimus Prime is a roughly Scout-sized figure. He comes with a jetpack that can combine with both his truck and robot modes. The jetpack attaches via [[C joint]] clips, and the jetpack can transform in and out of a winged configuration when Optimus is in truck mode. Optimus himself features C joint bars for his smokestacks and trailer hitch, as well as bars on the top of his headache rack, while his hands and jetpack can hold/mount his rifles via C joint-related 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm clips/holes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], Deluxe Class Optimus Prime features a high range of motion, with ball jointed shoulders and hips, swivels at the neck, knees, and feet, and double swivels in the elbows. As a result of the transformation process, he can also rotate at the waist, though this is hindered considerably by his &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded &amp;quot;Automorph&amp;quot; feature in his head, if the truck kibble pushes the small grey switch from his back before splitting the chest into half. And due to how close the head of the faceplate and the front unpaintable piece is, Optimus&#039; &amp;quot;nose&amp;quot; section has a tendency to chip off after many transformations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime features a [[MechTech]] Blaster that can convert into an Energon Battle Axe reminiscent of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 character]]&#039;s [[Energon-axe|iconic weapon]], though the weapon cannot be locked in battle axe mode. There is also a pair of C joint rods on the underside of both forearms. His MechTech blaster can plug into the port on each of his arms or be held in either hand in robot mode, or plug into one of two holes on his truck roof/robot shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:After step 5, the instructions did not mention that you should fold back the shoulder panels to form the sleeper part until the 11th step. Care must be taken while transforming the legs: the small peg located on the lower leg can be snapped off due to the peg being slightly thick to accommodate with the hole. Also, take note that Optimus Prime cannot wield 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm weapons with longer posts, as the way that his pinky finger is molded prevents the post from pegging down through his hands. Also, take note that the legs&#039; sculpted small rectangle peg (the one that locks the robot mode legs in place) is prone to warping if care is not taken during transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The hand-painted prototype photos from both the packaging and the instructions shows that Prime had long smokestacks, but it was shortened for safety reasons in the final product.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]&#039;s weapon. This figure was also sold at Universal theme parks in new packaging with &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]&#039;&#039; branding. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The &amp;quot;Standard&amp;quot; version sports an extremely detailed &amp;quot;premium&amp;quot; and screen-accurate paint job, while the Black version sports a black deco that makes him look very much like [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|if he is dead]].&lt;br /&gt;

:Each figure was sold separately in a black box with a black movie Optimus Prime silhouette that is visible thanks to the &amp;quot;Exclusive Optimus Prime&amp;quot; and the Milk&#039;s 10th anniversary logo. The outside of the box prevents anyone from seeing the figure inside, meaning that you have to open to see if the version that you&#039;ve got is the &amp;quot;Standard&amp;quot; version or the Black version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:They come packed with the same Mechtech weapon from the first release. The stock photos shows the gun with the same colors from the first release of the mold but all chromed all over when in reality it&#039;s all silver.&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; Voyagers, Optimus Prime transforms into an unlicensed modified Peterbilt 379 semi-truck, with heatshield details in his sculpting and translucent solar panels on various parts of his body and huge gas tanks. Optimus himself is differently proportioned, having larger feet and a smaller torso and arms. He also features some [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|faux-kibble/parts]]: His actual windshield chest is being covered by a sculpted panel featuring his characteristic deformed windshield-chest, and a pair of sculpted tires on his thighs. His pair of optics is designed to have a light-piping gimmick, but it was rendered useless since it was painted in smoke gray on top of the colorless transparent plastic.&lt;br /&gt;

:He comes with a large [[MechTech]] Ion Blaster that can convert into a &amp;quot;Battle Cannon&amp;quot;. Like all of the MechTech Voyager class toys, this deployed form can lock into place. Specifically, the weapon must be pressed all the way in and rotated to lock it.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime / MechTech Trailer&#039;&#039;&#039; (MechTech Voyager, [[May 14]], 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;DA-03&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; MechTech Ion Blaster/Energy Blade, MechTech trailer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Release exclusively in Japan, this Optimus Prime is a [[retool]] of the figure above, removing the heat shield and solar panels, as well as replacing any rocket booster parts (such as his heels) and gas tanks with normal truck parts. His light-piping eyes are painted in translucent light blue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also has a new [[MechTech]] Ion Blaster with a flip-out [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], and like all Voyager Class MechTech weapons, it can lock into place by latching one of the levers to the body of the gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His MechTech [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|trailer]] opens up much like Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s trailer (as well as being able to stand up to harken back to the Generation 1 [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]&#039;s upright mode), includes storage for many MechTech weapons inside and out, and is able to transport up to two Deluxe class (or one smaller Voyager) Autobots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The flame deco on Optimus&#039; forearm parts (hidden by the wheels) are flipped in the stock photos, which is present in the vehicle mode. The updated version of the photo (seen in the packaging) features the correct deco. Meanwhile, all of the stock photos of the Ion Blaster/Energy Blade (sans the extra step instruction) depicts the blade as a painted opaque piece.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The instructions also depict his fuel tank assemblies being positioned like the first figure&#039;s gas tanks, though you can swivel them frontwards for a better appearance, as seen in the stock photo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure omits the extended pieces of the side doors in vehicle mode (the ones which can be seen above the gas tanks in robot mode), leaving the sides of the robot mode&#039;s chest exposed. There was a variant version which has the extended pieces, covering the gaps behind the front wheels in truck mode.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze-p4S9Lm7c]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

As part of the set&#039;s lunar theme, reflections of stars are painted across his vehicle mode sides and on his windshield, with a sharp reflection of [[Earth]]&#039;s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in one of his windows. This time, his [[Matrix of Leadership]] is cast in orange plastic. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This exclusive has a peculiar and common error in that the arm hooks&#039; hubs stick out farther than they should, causing a gap that runs down the middle of the cab&#039;s nose in vehicle mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech trailer]], as the original mold has no trailer hitch to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;

Because of this, his light-piped eyes were neutered by opaque light blue paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a MechTech rifle that converts into a large battle axe, and can be locked in by pulling the lever all the way in and tilting it into a gap to the left. The rifle has a separate flip-out handle, while the axe uses the rifle&#039;s long barrel as the handle, meaning that Optimus can grip the axe with both of his hands. This weapon was also retooled in a running change, adding a stop to the handle instead of relying solely on the gear system to prevent the locking assembly from flying off into parts unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Eliminator Gun &amp;amp; Assault Blaster (forms [[Mega Striker]]), shield/battle shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Labeled as a &amp;quot;[[Triple Changer]]&amp;quot;, Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus Prime, with new weapons. The base figure has most of the same mold changes as Jetwing Optimus Prime (see below), but has been altered further; in particular, the transforming smokestacks and fuel tanks/ion blaster parts have been replaced with retooled regular tanks that now function as mounts for the new accessories. The colors on the toy are darker than Jetwing Optimus, with a different flame deco that extends farther along the sides of the toy. Additionally, two new 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us|Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot; saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the &amp;quot;We must stop the Decepticons!&amp;quot; saying of 2010 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a shield with a fold-out handle, allowing Optimus to hold onto it with either hand in robot mode. It has a simple transformation gimmick for vehicle mode which is activated by pressing a button at the top of the shield, causing the sides to spring outwards. In vehicle mode, the shield can be laid flat across the bed of the truck, attaching via a post on the back onto the truck’s trailer hitch. Alternatively, the bumpers on the shield can be rotated outwards, and the front can be bent down in order to form a new front end and hood for &amp;quot;battle vehicle mode&amp;quot;, resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicle modes seen in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the &amp;quot;Eliminator Gun&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Assault Blaster&amp;quot;, which combine into the &amp;quot;Mega Striker&amp;quot;, a rifle that closely resembles the one used in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In &amp;quot;battle vehicle mode&amp;quot;, the sides of the truck are rotated up, and the guns can be attached by small pegs to holes in the modified smokestacks, or they can plugged into any of the standard connection points with their [[5 mm post|5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all Japanese &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime&#039;s ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime&#039;s blaster is painted silver with a black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is left as unpainted grey plastic (exactly like the blaster on the original single-boxed ROTF Buster Optimus Prime). After receiving numerous reports from customers that the silver paint on the slide-out barrel was easily scraped off by merely transforming it from gas tank to blaster, Takara-Tomy briefly stated in an interview that they had addressed the issue for the Dark of the Moon packaged version by swapping the placement of the silver paint application. Thus, the Dark of the Moon packaged version now features the slide-out barrel on Prime&#039;s blaster as unpainted grey plastic with an unchanged black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is now painted silver.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader class Buster Optimus Prime, with an accompanying large jet pack and massive dual Gatling Cannons. The base Optimus Prime figure has several modifications including: a new stomach area and elbow flares to reflect the changes to Optimus Prime&#039;s CG model in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, modified lower arms to incorporate MechTech ports and clips for the cannons, and a retooled area under his back so the jet pack can fit on more securely. The dual energon blades mounted on his arms have been removed. The toy retains Buster Optimus Prime&#039;s electronics, but batteries are not included. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Jetwing jet pack attaches onto Optimus Prime via a part that hooks onto one of the hinges behind his neck, and a spring-loaded clamp that latches onto a recessed area under Optimus&#039; back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus&#039; Ion Blaster must be removed for this mode, and they can be stored inside the engines for the jet pack. The Jetwing can be used on previous Leader Optimus Primes from &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; onwards, but due to the lack of modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn&#039;t as stable. The jet pack features four MechTech ports on the main wing articulation points, and two [[C joint]] mounting points on each wing. The Gatling Cannons both feature two MechTech ports and 2 C joint mounts on either side of each cannon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime&#039;s flight tech for &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all Japanese &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Jetwing Optimus Prime was available for early purchase in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 (held at Tokyo Bic Sight) on [[June 18]] to [[June 19|19]], shortly before its wide release in July.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The box seems to have been created rather hastily from the Japanese original. It is roughly identical to the Tomy release, but with the Japanese text edited out... mostly. Random Japanese text remains floating in space on the top of the back panel and underneath the &amp;quot;Jetwing Optimus Prime&amp;quot; name on the front. Curiously, the left flap has been rewritten to eliminate mention of [[NEST]] and the jetpack&#039;s ability to detach, while the right flap has been (badly) edited to remove all mentions of [[MechTech]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Trailer/Omega Combat Armor, MechTech Ultimax Super Cannon&lt;br /&gt;
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Billed on his packaging as &amp;quot;BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!&amp;quot;, Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; Optimus Prime on its own, roughly equivalent to a Voyager in size and complexity, though with a lower degree of screen-accuracy than most large Optimus toys. Prime has 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm fist holes, as well as additional 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports on his front wheel wells and both sets of external fuel tanks. Four of these remain available in robot mode. The trailer has twelve more 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus&#039; trailer]] transforms into nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although this renders the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation, having no leg articulation whatsoever aside from swinging the hips out slightly and twisting at the ankles for maximum stability. The armor adds six more 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the four from the cab robot and the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has his own pair of 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can hold itself up using folding blue supports, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime&#039;s gigantic Ultimax Super Cannon, an electronic light-and-sound weapon the size and mass of a Deluxe figure. The whole cannon attaches to a special socket slightly behind Prime&#039;s shoulders, can store on the back or flip over to be gripped in both fists in armor mode, or stored upside-down underneath the trailer in truck mode. When pointed forward, the cannon has a larger helmet styled after Prime&#039;s own with a large translucent face shield featuring a painted targeting system. The weapon has three electronic modes: each of two small buttons plays its own weapon-firing noise and flashes one set of lights, while the large pull-switch in the cannon&#039;s center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot;. The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot;, allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus&#039; imaginary &amp;quot;flight&amp;quot; operations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Although the trailer is made exclusively for the cab with which it comes, it is scaled much more closely to and can be pulled by Optimus Prime&#039;s &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader class iteration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Japan, Ultimate Optimus Prime comes with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;

The toy was released as a &amp;quot;{{w|Dragon (zodiac)|Year of the Dragon}}&amp;quot; Special Edition in [[2012]], since the Chinese Zodiac sign for that year is the Dragon.&lt;br /&gt;

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Optimus Prime (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. You simply slam him down on the big blue button on the back end of his truck mode and he transforms thanks to spring-loaded mechanisms. To transform him back, just slam him down again on the same blue button. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockingly, he actually has arm articulation! Swivels at his shoulders allow you to rotate his arms 360 degrees! Go little Prime! Unfortunately, because his big blue button sits right under his feet, his robot mode is a little unstable when it comes to standing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Prime was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn&#039;t be transformed in package.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Bash Bots&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is a small, rock-em-sock-em-styled toy that transforms from a super-deformed truck into a robot by pulling or pushing the lever below it&#039;s built-in stand.

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (2011)&lt;br /&gt;
:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Go-Bots toys. Prime&#039;s pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, the motor gimmick really comes to the fore—his head, shoulders, and legs move in time with his forward movement. His legs pump up and down, his shoulders pump up and down, and his head rocks side-to-side. This gives the toy the illusion that it&#039;s running, rather than just rolling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The other gimmick for Prime is his auto-transform gimmick. From truck mode, push him down on his back bumper and his bonnet automatically folds back and his arms automatically pop out. He needs to be transformed back manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, Go-Bots Optimus Prime has a limited swivel joint for head articulation, and while he has other movable joints, all of them are spring-loaded and unable to hold a pose.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (2011) &lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Set number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;30689&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Pieces&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;542&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Kreons&#039;&#039;: Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Skywarp, two Stunt Drivers&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Optimus rifle, weapons sprue (sniper rifle, pistol, submachinegun, handcuffs, radio, ammo box), large tool sprue (shovel, hammer, electric drill, clamp), small tool sprue (socket wrench, screwdriver, wrench, hatchet), 2 traffic cones&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of &#039;&#039;Kre-O&#039;&#039;. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable &amp;quot;sleeper&amp;quot; cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set&#039;s two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|&#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a &amp;quot;headquarters&amp;quot; which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it&#039;s a building kit, surely you can find &#039;&#039;someplace&#039;&#039; to apply most of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 Optimus]]), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional &amp;quot;Matrix chest&amp;quot; Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.&lt;br /&gt;

He has a ferrous-metal backpack, which is used to interact with the magnetic parts in the various sets. In this specific set&#039;s case, it&#039;s so he can be grabbed by the buildable [[Strafe (AOE)#Kre-O|Strafe]]&#039;s dino-claws, once Strafe uses said claws to open up the &amp;quot;laser&amp;quot; cage made to contain Optimus. (Yeah, we know Strafe appears way after Optimus ditched this look in the movie.)&lt;br /&gt;

Curiously, this set does &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; come with an Optimus Kreon, but it&#039;s not like there&#039;s not a ton of them in other sets.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This version of Optimus uses the micro-Kreon build introduced in the &#039;&#039;Kre-O Cityville Invasion&#039;&#039; sets. He comes with a mini-build of dino-mode [[Grimlock (Kre-O)#DinobotRide|Grimlock]] as part of a small bagged kit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This set was only available on [[June 28]] as part of a special promotion at Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us, given away free from noon to 2pm (roughly) as part of an in-store building event that coincided with the opening weekend of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]&#039;&#039; and the final day of a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale on all &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; product.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The building set also comes with a poster with a preview of all Kre-O Transformers products released in 2014. Remaining stock of the kit (new condition, of course) is later dumped to several Hobby Shops in Asia.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Optimus rifle&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of &amp;quot;movie&amp;quot; Optimus is based on his &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; incarnation, as that&#039;s how he appears in &amp;quot;[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]&amp;quot; and as a mascot character on the park grounds. He is available exclusively in a box set sold at The Ride&#039;s gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks. After several years of &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; being available at the park proper, the four-pack was eventually added to Universal&#039;s online store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies. Optimus&#039;s [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged. This set would later see slight production changes; all of the figures&#039; tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, while Optimus&#039;s medium-pearlescent-gray plastics (his arm-mounted smokestacks) have been lightened considerably and lost a significant amount of metallic sheen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In mid-2020, the set was revamped again &#039;&#039;again&#039;&#039;, now removing Evac and replacing him with the [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]]. This version of the set uses the latter version of the other three characters with the thicker tampograph lines and lighter medium-gray plastic.&lt;br /&gt;

With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: One of the Mini-Con limb-bots (Soundwave helmet) is based on the original movie version of Optimus. The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus&#039;s original body. Two of his limbs are based on &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). And the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]! The heck?&lt;br /&gt;

:Another redeco of Deluxe-Class &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Prime, this release uses a darker grey, a less magenta-y red, and less gold on the front end. Included is the trailer originally available with the &#039;&#039;Chronicle&#039;&#039; release. The trailer holds up to seven MechTech or similar 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm peg accessories. Four holes are located on the top-front end of the trailer, with another three inside. The door also folds down to become a ramp, and the inside of the trailer is big enough for several Legion or Commander Cyberverse toys, or one smaller-end Deluxe figure. Two [[C joint]] bars also run along the bottom of both sides. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The center section of the inner trailer floor has been retooled so it can no longer be pulled out and flipped over, since bottle cap figurines aren&#039;t really sold in the West outside of import shops. However, the framework on the bottom of the trailer can be unscrewed to allow this piece to be flipped or, for the more industrious fan, have the tabs removed to restore the function. There is still an indent to make flipping the sliding section up easier, hinting at the neutered feature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unlike both the Walmart exclusive Deluxe figure and the Japanese release, no weapon accessories are included.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Smash &amp;amp; Change Optimus Prime is a simple figure that transforms by &amp;quot;smashing&amp;quot; the rear end of the truck/the robot&#039;s feet into the ground. He features only elbow articulation in robot mode and includes a sword accessory that can be held in his hand or mounted on the side of his truck mode. The handle on the rear of his truck mode is molded to emulate his Vector Shield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, a large amount of people have stated their copies have had loose mushroom pegs on the arms, causing them to fall off, combine that with a loose [[5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post]] on his sword and now you have an immobile [[brick (term)|brick]]!&lt;br /&gt;

:Similar to the &#039;&#039;[[Activators]]&#039;&#039; toyline, One-Step Changer Optimus Prime features a spring-loaded transformation. He features swivel articulation in the head and both arms. He shares a similar (not identical) transformation with his fellow One-Step changer, Hound. Also, due to his transformation scheme, his shoulders can be pushed forward (the arms is pushed on the same time), which also allows him to wield a close ranged weapons with longer handles with both hands.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:AOEtoy-FirstEditionOptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|If you paid 80 bucks for this... you have our condolences.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;First Edition Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (2014)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;&#039;14 OF 30&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; toy line]]. Prime is a Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star &amp;quot;5700 OP&amp;quot; concept truck vehicle mode and his updated robot mode from the film (well, mostly based on his initial design rather than the final design in the movie). His transformation is much simpler than his counterparts from the previous three movie lines, being billed as transforming in &amp;quot;15 easy steps.&amp;quot; His torso, shoulders, upper legs, and the vehicle mode grill are all completely chromed with the exception of minor blue and red details painted on his chest. However, this comes at the expense of his smokestacks and wheels being bare gray plastic, whereas they are chromed in the film. His [[shellformer|simplified transformation]] also comes at the expense of having a very bulky &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. His truck kibble can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own, though this is not an intended feature of the toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via a 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post. In truck mode, the sword is stored underneath, while the shield mounts onto the trailer hitch. The sword also features a [[5 mm post|5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime&#039;s trailer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was only available as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, but was also released at brick and mortar retails in Australia and Hasbro&#039;s Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as &amp;quot;14 of 30&amp;quot; in Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]&#039;&#039; campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;fepress&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; First Edition Optimus Prime]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies &#039;&#039;another&#039;&#039; product as &amp;quot;14 of 30&amp;quot;, which doesn&#039;t sport any such markings on its packaging &#039;&#039;either&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;retro&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Hasbro Thrilling 30 retrospective] on Facebook, mirrored [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/hasbro-transformers-30th-anniversary-thrilling-30-exclusives-retrospective-gallery-181598/ here] on TFW2005.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime comes with the same sword, now molded in orange plastic with no paint operations. This set omits the shield seen in the First Edition and Silver Knight versions of this mold. It is omitted as there is no place in the truck mode to store it, since the trailer now takes over the trailer hitch, which is where the shield was supposed to be stored, though you &#039;&#039;technically&#039;&#039; could have stored it in the trailer. This toy is still compatible with the First Edition and Silver Knight versions of the shield, though neither match the color scheme well.&lt;br /&gt;

:The stock photo on the right shows him with the side panels of the truck on his backpack incorrectly flipped out. They should be split and tabbed together.&lt;br /&gt;

:In the United States, this set was a &amp;quot;shared exclusive&amp;quot; between [[BigBadToyStore]], [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]], and [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]. In Canada and Singapore, it was exclusive to Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us, whereas in Australia, it was a Myer exclusive.

He comes with a redeco of Generation 1 [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]]&#039;s sword, which can be wielded by his 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, &#039;&#039;especially&#039;&#039; with the shoulder kibble &amp;amp; the bottom leg&#039;s posts (This can be amended if you slightly widen the holes with 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm hand drills). As with the original &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class figure, the instructions don&#039;t mention about forming the sleeper part until step 10, the pinky finger prevented the sword to peg down through his hands, and of course: his truck mode can attach with the Armored Weapons Platform included in the &#039;&#039;Chronicle&#039;&#039; or the &#039;&#039;Movie Trilogy Series&#039;&#039; figure.

:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class toys, &amp;quot;Evasion Mode Optimus Prime&amp;quot; is based on the character&#039;s initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime&#039;s White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a &amp;quot;default&amp;quot; 90° position. Also, while you transform him back to truck mode, his hands must be in the same sideways position to ensure the truck kibble is properly flushed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus includes a spring-loaded missile-firing &amp;quot;ion cannon&amp;quot; modeled after Megatron&#039;s shotgun from &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, with the missile features a sculpted shotgun nozzle on the front section. It can be held in his hand or attached to the top of the truck cab or truck bed via 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In time-honored tradition, Prime&#039;s instructions depict the toy with an alternate &amp;quot;[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]&amp;quot; head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]&#039;&#039; and &amp;quot;Rusty&amp;quot; releases of the figure (see below). Additionally, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him with extra white/silver [[Paint operation|paint detail]]s, especially on his chest and wheel rims, as well as having gray upper arms with red details, among other differences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy, but slightly larger than his &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; toy&#039;s truck) he is quite tall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Movie Advanced Series&#039;&#039; toys, is dubbed &amp;quot;Classic Optimus Prime&amp;quot;, and opts for a deco closer to Prime&#039;s previous on-screen appearances, omitting the blue paint on his feet and hands to reveal the gray plastic underneath, and adding new paint details all over. Instead of painting it in clear light blue, his light-piping eyes are neutered with opaque light blue paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The faceplated version of the mold was used to make [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction: Generations&#039;&#039; Leader Class toys, this is yet &#039;&#039;another&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;big&amp;quot; Optimus Prime figure. While smaller than the First Edition toy, this one features more silver and chrome paint in vehicle mode, a more poseable robot mode, and a Vector Shield accessory instead of the Sentinel Shield. Unlike the First Edition figure, Leader Class Optimus Prime&#039;s pauldrons and hip-skirts are formed from truck kibble, giving him a marginally smaller backpack. His accessories have roughly the same functionality as the First Edition toy, with his sword being hand-held and pegged onto his hands or storing underneath the truck, and his shield mounting onto his left forearm or storing on the back of the truck. Additionally, the sword sheath underneath the truck can be folded up and used in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It should be noted that this Optimus Prime can accommodate the [[Dual Energon Swords#Dark of the Moon|Battle Blade]] accessories to recreate the scene of him fighting against Galvatron.&lt;br /&gt;

:This figure was only made available as a store [[exclusive]] in parts of Europe, at least in the United Kingdom (at Argos) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Apparently, early plans for the shield were to have it colored gold and silver, but it was later changed to gray and red. When a hand-painted [[prototype]] of the toy was first displayed at the 2013 New York Comic Con, the shield was colored yellow and silver; in addition, the original versions of the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] also depict the gold color, but the versions featured on the back of the toy&#039;s [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy&#039;s colors for the shield. Meanwhile, the versions of the stock photos provided to websites and online retailers depict the shield in its final colors for the robot mode, whereas the vehicle mode photo is the unedited version featuring the shield&#039;s original colors. Furthermore, UK-based retailer Argos also featured unedited versions of the stock photos for both modes in one of its catalogs, causing some confusion among fans.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;argos&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/991761-uk-getting-different-leader-decos-optimus-yellow-vector-shield.html TFW2005 thread] about outdated stock photos used in Argos catalog.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Sometimes, the spring loaded &amp;quot;[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]&amp;quot; feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;TakaraTomy ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;LA01&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;TakaraTomy release date&#039;&#039;: [[July 19]] 2014&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime, he transforms into a Western Star &amp;quot;5700 OP&amp;quot; concept truck as seen in the film, in &#039;&#039;4 steps&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
::1. Press 2 buttons on the truck steps make the side panels pop out in position.&lt;br /&gt;
::2. Fold down the front section to transform it&#039;s robot mode legs.&lt;br /&gt;
::3. Fold back the rear parts to form the kibble.&lt;br /&gt;
::4. Position the arms into place, and Optimus will announce &amp;quot;Transform!&amp;quot;, with a classic transformation sound effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Like Stomp &amp;amp; Chomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers, activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He has notably less kibble than other &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime toys... from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so lucky, with large chunks of truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he&#039;s wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Sword of Judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; leader class Optimus, but cast in flat grey rubbery plastic rather than the transparent plastic and paint operations of the initial release. This Optimus Prime erroneously features blue paint on his feet instead of the screen-accurate red.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In Japan, buying this toy at [[AEON]] stores got the customer a [[campaign item|free]] [[Paulie|Dinobot Micron Paulie]].&lt;br /&gt;

It features pinstriped flames, articulated fingers, a headsculpt with a face that can rotate between masked and unmasked modes in a method identical to Armor Knight Optimus Prime&#039;s, and an abdomen that opens to reveal a chamber housing a diecast Matrix of Leadership. He comes with said Matrix, his &amp;quot;Rifle&amp;quot; (aka &amp;quot;Ion Cannon&amp;quot;), and a pair of &amp;quot;Energy Swords&amp;quot; that tab in behind his wrists in a technically inaccurate fashion (they should replace the hands entirely). All three weapons can combine and store on the trailer hitch in vehicle mode or robot mode. Speaking of, Optimus can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|trailer]] from &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; MP-10 Convoy. Possibly due to this feature, he is actually too short in robot mode, deviating from the scale much more than his peers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/mpm-3rd-party-scale-discussion.1194209/page-2#post-17949152 Thread discussion on the MPM scale], which lists Weijiang&#039;s upscaled knockoff of MPM Optimus deviating from the scale by being 0.93 cm too short; and taller than the real MPM by 3 inches.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:Though the figure does a much better job of conveying the on-screen character model than the ROTF Leader Class mold did, there are still a few inaccuracies—most notably the forearm and shoulder pad designs and the head/torso proportions. The final product also lacks certain paint details visible in stock and packaging imagery, such as the blue rings on his feet and the gold on his pelvis. In both the final product and stock photography, the silver detailing on the forehead is the wrong shape as there should not be a break in the silver. It should be noted that this mold does not combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Leader Class toys|Jetfire]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In addition, it is very difficult, if not impossible for the vehicle mode to tab together properly. The entire cab assembly breaks apart very easily as the tabs lack sufficient friction to keep it together, resulting in either a gap forming between the front windows and the hood or part of the hood raising up. This is due to a mold change seen in early prototypes and the toy packaging where the red abdomen sections tab in lower, inaccurately exposing the hinge between it and the chest windows. The pipes that are supposed to connect to the bottom of the smokestacks also don&#039;t swing out far enough to properly do so if the feet are tabbed together completely. Two sets of plastic rings on posts connect each of the shoulders to the torso - the ring that ends up on top in vehicle mode is slightly too thick and often filled with stress marks straight out of the packaging and can create stress marks on the torso piece it&#039;s connected to. The same ring can also make it &#039;&#039;extremely&#039;&#039; difficult to tab the cab together. Since the lower ring is on a separate part and still keeps the joint connected, it can be helpful to disassemble the figure and cut away the upper ring to alleviate both problems, but do so at your own risk. Since the windows don&#039;t tab in in vehicle mode, the chest piece, which is &#039;&#039;rather&#039;&#039;  thin and tabs in to the grille as well, is under an extreme amount of stress. This cause breakages on a few number of copies, specifically in the piece which swivels outwards on the secondary joint of the chest piece. While this breakage is rare, care should still be taken when transforming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy release replaces the dark gray plastic on the Hasbro version with lighter tan gray as well as adding some of the missing paint applications shown on the box, with the thighs and gas tanks still missing silver paint. The mold tolerances have been adjusted, and transforming to truck mode properly is possible with a degree of variation on some copies. The Hasbro and TakaraTomy versions both have misassemblies on the sleeper cabin hinges, where they are reversed, although this does not affect transformation. The TakaraTomy release is packaged in truck mode, whereas the Hasbro version is packaged in robot mode. Due to the changes made for the Takara release, it is theorised that the Hasbro version was rushed to meet the anniversary year and/or Toys &#039;R Us exclusivity deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Much like his ROTF ancestor, he is a frequent victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from clones that fix the issues above to high quality upscales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[Starscream (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|As]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|expected]], the [[:File:MPM4Optimus.jpg|Hasbro stock photos]] have the figure mistransformed in both modes. The backpack is a mess, the chest and torso bits aren&#039;t properly configured, and the smokestacks in truck mode aren&#039;t extended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the United States, Canada, and Hasbro&#039;s Asian markets, &#039;&#039;Masterpiece Movie Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime was exclusively available from [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]], whereas in Spain, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour. It&#039;s currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply &amp;quot;Toys-Shop&amp;quot;, but again might have been available online only.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The second &#039;&#039;Masterpiece Movie Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime transforms from a robot based on his appearance in the &#039;&#039;Bumblebee&#039;&#039; mid-credits scene into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film&#039;s ending scene, much like the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; toy [[#SS38|below]]. He comes with his &amp;quot;Ion Blaster&amp;quot; used in the Cybertron sequences in the film, which can be folded and stored behind his cab. He also includes a new [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#MPM12|Matrix of Leadership]], despite the Matrix never appearing or being mentioned in the movie. Similar to the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece Movies Series&#039;&#039; toy above, Optimus Prime can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP44|trailer]] included with MP-44 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|Convoy]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, due to reduced parts count and possibly cost-cutting measures, the trigonal [[kibble]] on his shoulders ends up slightly protruding on the vehicle mode. This also results in a somewhat amusing appearance for the truck mode, as the placement of the said kibble looks like it has a pair of cat-ears. The truck bed is also quite unfinished, having little semblance to the real thing. Additionally, he is one of the lightest(even compared to the carbots) MPM figures to date. For a MPM figure of this price and size, he has an unusually low count of die-cast parts, since he only has die-cast gas tanks(which are small) and a die-cast Matrix of Leadership.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For an MPM figure, his hands are rather compromised in articulation, as his index finger can only open to 90 degrees, lacking the double joint on it that most figures with a 3 finger-trigger finger split have. This may have been because his fingers needed to be posed at a 90 degrees pose for a secure grip on his matrix, but [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|other figures]] have been able to do it without the fingers needing to be locked, so this is purely a cost cutting measure done by Hasbro. Prime also has a design flaw in his wrists. Its flips out on a joint for transformation, but the joint is too weak to support the weight of the ion blaster. Combine that with a gaping hole in his arm underneath his wrists, his hands end up drooping downwards if Prime holds the blaster in a 90 degree or downwards arm angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hasbro [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLtuM8DJeY9/ stock photography] depicts much brighter and saturated colors, as well as clear blue windows. TakaraTomy stock photography (right), which was revealed months later, features darker, more film-accurate colors, and clear grey windows. Despite both versions of the toy using TakaraTomy&#039;s stock photography, only TakaraTomy&#039;s version includes the accurate grey windows, as well as unpainted red plastic sun visors. The box also features the peculiar (&#039;&#039;especially&#039;&#039; for a Masterpiece figure) call-out &amp;quot;Articulated Head&amp;quot; depicting Optimus just... turning his head to the left. The photography is also strangely low resolution compared to previous releases in the line, possibly a consequence of 2020 pandemic complications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was revealed on February 25, 2021 via live-stream. It is a [[Target]] exclusive in the United States and a [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] exclusive in Canada. The toy was reissued in the fall of 2024, $6 cheaper than its original price. &lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime / Cybertron Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (Multi-pack, 2017)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe / Gun, flame attachment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us-exclusive &amp;quot;Mission to Cybertron&amp;quot; imprint, this 2-pack release of Optimus Primes are redecoes of [[#Deluxe Class toys 2|&#039;&#039;MechTech&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class Optimus Prime]] and [[#Deluxe Class toys|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; (2007) Protoform Optimus Prime]]. It includes two collector cards that form part of a poster with decodable Cyberglyphics on the back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;Cybertron Optimus Prime&amp;quot; now features a darker grey plastic, and mostly shares the same paint mask to the original Deluxe class figure, with added paint details on his head and the mesh-like pattern on the front of his &amp;quot;entry&amp;quot; mode. The silver paint on his chest was slightly changed from the original and he lacks the paint on his feet, his &amp;quot;headlights&amp;quot;, and the top of his &amp;quot;entry&amp;quot; mode. Lastly, he features Cyberglyphics on his vehicle mode windows, and the rear sides of the vehicle. His flame attachment is now cast in translucent red plastic with orange sprays.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Although &#039;&#039;MechTech&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime&#039;s deco is similar to the initial release, some of his parts (robot shoulder flaps, chest piece/truck front) were recast in blue plastic (with the chest being painted red), and his paint applications on the pelvis, headlights &amp;amp; thighs are omitted. His front truck hood/backpack&#039;s deco is altered: the truck steps and the fenders were painted blue, and the gold gradients on the flame tampographs are removed, while he features additional flame tampos on both sides of his front hood, and an Autobot Insignia on his left robot shoulder. He still retains the light-piping gimmick, but cast in clear plastic, with the eyeballs being (halfheartedly) painted with clear blue. His MechTech weapon is cast in transparent orange plastic, with the exception of the scope/lever and the gun barrel, which remained opaque silver plastic due to being cast with unpaintable plastic. He also features Cyberglyphics on the left side of his vehicle mode front hood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:All Cyberglyphs in this set translate to &amp;quot;PRIME&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Voyager-sized Optimus Prime has a similar transformation scheme to [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Generations|&#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Galvatron]], notably the shoulders, rooftop backpack, and the leg/wheels combo based on his Leader Class figure. He features a similar but different transformation scheme, which results in a somewhat clean robot mode, although most of his vehicle kibble hangs on his back. He also features the sword &amp;amp; the shield based on his final design in the movie, albeit the sword being painted similarly to the Armor Knight Optimus Prime&#039;s sword. His sword can store underneath his Vehicle mode or his robot mode backpack, while the shield can be stored on the truck&#039;s fifth wheel hitch, which can also tow the trailer included from the Japanese exclusive [[#VoyagerTrailer|Mechtech Voyager]]. Although the pectoral armor can be slightly pushed up a little bit further, the pieces have to actually stop at where the rectangular peg holes are located.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Surprisingly, this was also the first Hasbro exclusive transforming Movie Optimus Prime figure to be based on the final design seen in &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039;. He even features the forearms that Prime had before obtaining the Sword of Judgement, which unfortunately means that he is inaccurate to his appearance in the battle of Hong Kong and the entirety of &#039;&#039;The Last Knight&#039;&#039;. The sword&#039;s blade is still painted as the heated-up version from the concept art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like the larger &#039;&#039;First Edition&#039;&#039; figure, this toy is a rather egregious [[shellformer]], to the point where you can actually separate the robot mode from his vehicle shell if you &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; wanted to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The 2018 giveaway event-exclusive [[Quad Barrel Shotgun#Generations|Quad Barrel Shotgun]] accessory can be used for this figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:At least a &#039;&#039;very small&#039;&#039; number of units feature a faceplate-less head sculpt.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Transformers The Last Knight Voyager Optimus Prime Variant Found&amp;quot; at [https://news.tfw2005.com/2017/05/10/transformers-last-knight-voyager-optimus-prime-variant-found-338649 TFW2005]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Hasbro stock photos of the toy are &#039;&#039;slightly&#039;&#039; mistransformed: his pectoral armor is not folded correctly in robot mode. This figure was also released in Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us Japan on May 1st, 2017 as a store exclusive, likewise identical to the Hasbro release. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The CG stock photos feature extra silver paint apps on the lower thighs and hands, which the final product does not feature.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released as one of the prizes from the &amp;quot;Midnight Madness&amp;quot; event in a Toys R&#039;Us in Singapore, this Optimus Prime is a redeco (of sorts) of the Voyager Class figure. The figure&#039;s deco is unchanged from the standard release, but he now has weathered battle damage paint all over him (yes, this includes applying to unpaintable plastic). In addition, the bright yellow paint is applied onto the blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In some countries like Malaysia, Prime could be obtained by buying some certain items for an expensive price, given away along with a similarly &#039;battle-damaged&#039; redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]]. He was also released as a prize figure for the Transformers Atrium Fair in Takashimaya B2 Atrium located in Singapore from 13 till 26th June 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was also available at the movie launch event in a Toys R&#039;Us in Hong Kong, as a prize for spending HKD$1,500 on Transformers-related products.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Sword, Shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This exclusive redeco of Optimus Prime features darker shades of red and blue than his other releases and has extensive paint applications to resemble his on-screen appearances in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]&#039;&#039;, particularly his Nemesis Prime alter ego. To that end, he features movie-accurate flame patterns, which are larger and more elaborate than the ones on the regular release or the SDCC exclusive, on his vehicle mode exterior and robot pectoral armor. His eyes and sword are also painted metallic purple, but his shield is completely unpainted for some reason. His lighter gray plastic has been totally replaced by a &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; dark grey(almost black) plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Dark Optimus Prime could be purchased along with advance tickets for &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]&#039;&#039; via movie cards from June 25, 2017, on the Omni7 website, and from September 29, 2017, if the item was purchased without advance tickets.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;San Diego Comic-Con 2017&#039;&#039; exclusive Optimus Prime figure is another redeco of the &#039;&#039;Premier Edition&#039;&#039; figure, which aims for a more movie-accurate look than the original by still sharing the same paint masks, but replacing the chest&#039;s deco with flames and adding extra paint applications on the legs, arms, chest, head, tire rims, both sides of the engine compartment, and the sword and shield... but for some reason still sports the movie-inaccurate blue &#039;collar&#039;, as well as the smaller, less accurate vehicle flame tampographs instead of the more movie-accurate ones used on Dark Optimus Prime. His Autobot insignia is also moved on the upper back section of the air dam. He is packaged in a stylish, display-case-like-box similar to later &#039;&#039;Transformers: Alternators&#039;&#039; releases and the Hasbro Toy Shop/SDCC 2011 exclusive figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hilariously, Optimus Prime also comes with an &#039;&#039;authentic tire piece&#039;&#039; from a Western Star 5700XE truck (no seriously, look it up.). His stock photo is also &#039;&#039;slightly&#039;&#039; mistranformed: his pectoral armor is not rotated properly in robot mode. Also, the fifth wheel hitch pieces seem to be missing on his robot mode stock photos.&lt;br /&gt;

:This redeco of the [[#Voyager Class toys 4|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Optimus Prime]] figure features a really unusual deco pattern consisting of red transparent tires, the vehicle front grill and fuel tanks (the fenders remained opaque red due to unpaintable plastic). Some of his parts like the vehicle front hood and the truck roof feature a pattern similar to the ones used for the [[Tech Spec]]s in the &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; toys. He features a new sword and shield accessory, which can be used to decode the patterns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the United Kingdom, this Optimus Prime was released as an Argos exclusive along with several other sets branded as part of the &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; [[subline imprint]]. His United States release was initially claimed to be exclusive to [[Target]] by online retailers from Asia, but even though the other &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; products eventually became available at Target, Voyager Class Optimus Prime was released as a [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] exclusive in the United States instead, complete with a &amp;quot;Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us exclusive&amp;quot; sticker. Also, both his United States and Asian releases lack the &amp;quot;Reveal the Shield&amp;quot; logo the United Kingdom release has (but still feature the &amp;quot;Reveal hidden images&amp;quot; call-out).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released exclusively in Asia, Shadow Spark Optimus Prime is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; [[#Leader Class toys 5|Leader Class Optimus Prime]], featuring dark grey plastics, weathered deco patterns, and some opaque plastic which was recasted from transparent plastics. He features a scratched Autobot insignia on the right side of his sleeper-cab, and a Cyberglyphic on the left side of the front hood. Some weathered parts does not match well with some other parts (the fenders, for example).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In May 2017, the figure was released as a lucky draw item by Coca-Cola, along with the limited edition cans, as part of China&#039;s promotion for the movie.

&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus Prime is a somewhat/nearly screen-accurate redeco (dedeco?) of the Leader Class figure, but uses the original Leader mold instead of the Armor Knight retool, unfortunately. In comparison to the first &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Leader Class figure, his vacuum-metalized front truck bumper, sun visors, robot mode chest, smokestacks, and side tanks were omitted, revealing the grey plastic underneath. His chromed chest was also stripped of chrome for adding paint operations, his shield was unpainted, and both of his sword and truck mode windows were cast in colorless plastic. He also features some extra silver paint on his robot mode forehead, and his white-colored Autobot insignia is slightly tampographed on the left. And lastly, his light-piping eyes are neutered by blue paint.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Temenos Sword, Calibur Axe, Overshield/Fifth Wheel Hitch, Energon Sword (limited edition)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Calibur Optimus Prime is a retool of the Armor Knight Optimus Prime figure, itself a retool of the original &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; Leader Class figure. In a clever bit of [[partformer|partforming]], the fifth wheel hitch now forms a handheld shield based on the one used in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], which results in a backpack-less robot mode. As such, the shield that came with prior versions has been omitted (though it&#039;s still fully compatible, of course). The figure can be transformed without partsforming if so desired, leaving a backpack like the original leader, but the sword will not store on his back due to the remolding. He also comes with an axe based on the one used in the third film.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The initial release of the figure comes with a limited edition Energon Sword. According to [https://amzn.asia/d/9lU57nG Amazon Japan&#039;s page] and the instructions, the included Energon Sword &amp;amp; Axe is compatible with &#039;&#039;Movie The Best&#039;&#039; MB-11 Optimus Prime figure (seen above), which basically makes Calibur Optimus Prime a weapon expansion pack for said figure. Said compatibility, however, makes the weapons(other than the sword)too big for this figure, since the ROTF Leader mold is bigger than this one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unlike the &#039;&#039;Movie Advanced Series&#039;&#039;&#039; Armor Knight figure, the blue plastic and red paint are less metallic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The back of the packaging features a small typo, notably the word &amp;quot;kinetic&amp;quot; being written as &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Kinetic&#039;&#039;&#039;k&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;. The bio also denotes the elemental metal as &amp;quot;Cyber-Matter&amp;quot; living metal, which is a term that originates from the [[Aligned continuity family]]. Oddly, TakaraTomy&#039;s stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout &amp;quot;battle figure&amp;quot; included with Telebi Magazine&#039;s [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Calibur Axe was later redecoed into &amp;quot;Bronze Calibur Axe&amp;quot;, as a giveaway accessory for the 3rd &#039;&#039;The Last Knight Final Battle Campaign&#039;&#039; in Japan. In 2018, Optimus Prime is released along with [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TLKLeader|Megatron]] as part of the TakaraTomy Mall exclusive &amp;quot;Optimus Prime VS Megatron&amp;quot; set. &lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers Tribute]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is a redeco of the [[#Leader_Class_toys|2007 Leader Class toy]], to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the [[live-action film series]]. While the deco&#039;s paint mask is the same as the said figure, he features a more saturated blue and red, and chromed feet/front grills and front fenders used for the [[#LeaderMA21|MA-21]] redeco, and he also features chrome on both sides of the stomach. While the Hasbro stock photo shows that his feet are &#039;&#039;slightly&#039;&#039; mistransformed in robot mode, the Takara stock photos shows his feet correctly flipped out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

His Titan Master, retooled from [[Recoil (G1)#Generations|Flintlock]], features a new face that is based on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Deluxe|&#039;&#039;Thrilling 30&#039;&#039; Orion Pax toy]]. As a redeco of the Kup mold, Orion Pax still suffers the leg panel misassembly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The set also includes a redeco of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|&#039;&#039;Generations War for Cybertron&#039;&#039;]] Optimus Prime figure, which changes the original figure&#039;s dark red plastic to a brighter, more vibrant red, changes the gray plastic to a darker charcoal tone, changes the &amp;quot;windows&amp;quot; from gray to nearly black, and replaces most of the original figure&#039;s pink-ish red paint details (which were yellow on the redeco from the &amp;quot;Rage over Cybertron&amp;quot; three-pack) to teal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The use of a G1-based Orion Pax design and an Aligned-based Optimus Prime design with Movie Optimus Prime packaging art makes it hard to know where on the wiki this should go, but given the general movie-themed bent of the &#039;&#039;Tribute&#039;&#039; line, we&#039;re putting it here. A few months after the 2-pack&#039;s release, &#039;&#039;Tribute&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime &amp;amp; Orion Pax saw worldwide release through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], including an Amazon Japan listing bearing a &#039;&#039;The Last Knight&#039;&#039; ID number. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Studio Series]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime transforms from a robot into a Peterbilt 379 semi-truck. He comes his [[dual Energon Swords]], which can be mounted onto his arms or store on the back of his robot mode or truck bed. The figure combines engineering concepts from his &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; [[#Voyager Class toys 5|Voyager Class figure]] with techniques previously used on &#039;&#039;Prime: First Edition&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Prime: First Edition|Optimus Prime]]. He also features a more subdued color scheme compared to other Optimus Prime figures. Like the rest of the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; figures, the figure prioritizes robot mode [[scale]] and thus stands shorter than his Voyager Class wavemate [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Starscream]]. The CG renders depict him possessing long smokestacks, but the final product has them shortened... again. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the forest battle from &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the 5&amp;amp;nbsp;mm compatible arms can fit with most weapons with the same post size, some of the weapons&#039; handles can barely fit on it due to either the slightly thickened tab or thin sculpted panels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The rear truck cabin/back kibble can turn slightly floppy over time in robot mode, as there are no tabs and holes to secure it. Despite being labeled as the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; version of the character, this mold is not meant to combine with the later released [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], although it can be achieved with some [[Fan mode|fiddling]]. However, it &#039;&#039;can&#039;&#039; carry (but not combine with) &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[#SS44|44 Optimus Prime]]&#039;s trailer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While stock photos and renders show the figure with a faceplate, this [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/1859790330757819/?type=3&amp;amp;theater image] posted by the Transformers Facebook page shows him with his mouth exposed. This was later found as a variant at least [http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/05/07/transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-faceplate-less-variant-images-363449 once]. A running change was made, [https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/variant-transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-with-blade-colour-difference/41133/ changing the blades to be more translucent]. The semi-translucent blades release features a date code &amp;quot;73461&amp;quot;, whereas the translucent orange blades version features a date code written as &amp;quot;80171&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:TakaraTomy&#039;s stock photo of the robot mode depicts the right elbow bent &#039;&#039;backwards&#039;&#039; instead of forwards. Ouch!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; (though sold under the first &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film&#039;s branding), this &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is an extensive retool of the figure above, featuring many new parts, namely a new backpack, chest piece, back of thighs, forearms, a (removable) abdominal area, and lower legs with a pair of non-transforming fenders. These new parts lead to [[Show-accuracy|a better resemblance]] to his appearance in the first two movies and allow him to combine with &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]] to form &amp;quot;Jetwing Optimus Prime,&amp;quot; while resulting in a somewhat more involved transformation. His color scheme features a much higher contrast than the previous release. Inexplicably, he has silver paint apps added on his forearms that actually make him &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; accurate than if it were left as the bare red plastic underneath, while forgetting to accurately paint a different section of his forearms blue. Unfortunately, as a trade-off for having a more accurate robot mode, his vehicle mode suffers; his front drive tires lift off the ground, he&#039;s missing the toolboxes behind his fuel tanks, some of his robot mode kibble is exposed beneath his doors, and several of the floodlights above his windshield are gone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Instead of Energon Swords, he now comes with an [[Ion blaster]] like that used in the battle of [[Mission City]]. It can be stored on various rectangular peg holes in Prime&#039;s vehicle mode or on the larger rectangular pegs on his cab nose/forearms or on the robot mode&#039;s back. While this Optimus figure can use the first mold&#039;s blades, the new molding prevents the swords from being properly stored on the robot&#039;s back, and using the intended &amp;quot;underslung&amp;quot; grip displaces his forearm armor slightly. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the highway fight with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the first &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film. Since the Leader Class figure below is a redeco of this one, it should come as no surprise that this one is fully compatible with the trailer and jet pack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The panels with the fuel tanks are connected to his back by small friction pegs, and have a tendency to pop off during transformation, though they can easily be reattached. This was fixed in later versions of the mold. As the front grills rely on a hook-and-tab assembly to complete the truck mode and combined with the fact that they&#039;re molded in translucent plastic completely painted over in silver, the painted tabs can wear down and break off during transformation, leaving a gap in the front of the truck mode. Care must be taken when combining him with Jetfire, as it can place much stress on the hinges that the grills are connected to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The packaging stock photo features him having a misassembled hip, which is facing backward. Speaking of misassembly, a small number of Optimuses have two left or right upper arms. These errors prevent the front section from fully transforming. This can be identified by viewing the front section while he&#039;s still in-package.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His rear wheels were later reused for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|&#039;&#039;Earthrise&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime]], while the front wheels appear to have been slightly retooled for use on the &#039;&#039;Earthrise&#039;&#039;&#039;s trailer as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus was reissued through [[Walmart]] in November 2025. The reissue does have the pinned back panels seen with later uses of the mold, and the package art has been updated slightly, most notably removing the cross-sell of &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Bonecrusher (Movie)#Studio Series|Bonecrusher]] that was on the back.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/possible-studio-series-ss-32-voyager-optimus-prime-reissue-found-at-us-retail.1284174/#post-23830862 Comparison between original and reissue boxes of SS-32, TFW2005]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The third &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime is based on his appearance in &#039;&#039;[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]&#039;&#039;, and as such closely resembles the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 Optimus design]]. He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film&#039;s final scene. As a result, the truck frame is about half the length of the one used in the film, lacking the prominent gap between the gas tanks and the rear axle, but this makes him appear closer to the truck he turned into in G1. Optimus comes with the [[Ion blaster]] he is seen wielding in the film&#039;s Cybertron sequences and a backdrop featuring the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] where he meets up with Bumblebee. The blaster can peg into the fifth wheel hitch in vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While his truck mode scales with most of the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; brethren, Optimus&#039;s robot mode shares the same height as the other Optimuses in this section, which means that he towers over his original size in the film. Unlike his appearance in the movie, this Optimus&#039;s design closely resembles [[Mark Yang]]&#039;s concept art of the character, complete with flat feet. Unlike most of the &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; figures, this Optimus doesn&#039;t have any insignia tampographed or sculpted on. The silver weathering on his stomach varies from figure-to-figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, the grey lower leg panels tend to disconnect/dislodge if the feet are swiveled, or if the pressure is applied downwards while standing. The silver-painted hinged panels on the sides of his truck mode (and to an extent, the painted crotch) are prone to chipping due to being involved in the transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Some versions of this figure feature tabs on the top of the inside of the front window frame, that have no hole to peg into on the robot torso, seeming to be remnants of a late-stage design change, that do interfere with vehicle mode holding together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was one of the items that were released as part of Hasbro&#039;s Transformers 35th Anniversary promotional mailer box&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/21/transformers-35th-anniversary-promo-box-in-hand-388546&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and was also given a repaint as part of TakaraTomy&#039;s own [[#35th Anniversary|35th Anniversary exclusive set]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the second toy with a new stomach area that is molded to be accurate to his appearance in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, complete with a new trailer forming his weapons platform and combat armor. His arsenal includes two cannons, an energon axe, an energon sword, a shield, and a slightly redecoed (de-decoed?) Ion blaster from the second toy, losing its blackened barrel. He also comes with a unique backdrop depicting his confrontation with the [[Driller]] in the Battle of Chicago. His fellow Leader Class Autobot, [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], comes packaged with a replacement &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;-accurate abdomen piece, allowing them to combine... though the piece is color-matched to Optimus&#039;s first &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; 05 release, a figure that lacks this figure&#039;s new molding and is thus incompatible with Jetfire. In addition to the new deco and molding, the hinges on his back that the panels with the fuel tanks are attached to now have pins, preventing the pieces from popping off when swiveling them into position during conversion. Care should still be taken when transforming the front grill, as the tab needed to hold it together still has the potential to break on this version of the mold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In terms of deco, Optimus features gradient orange paint on his forearms/truck front which the Voyager Class release didn&#039;t have, while the formerly transparent parts are now cast in opaque blue plastic, with both his real and [[kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|faux windows]] painted silver. Meanwhile, the CG stock renders feature several color and deco details that are inaccurate to the final toy; notably, the joints on his grille section are shown to be orange rather than gray, the windows are shown to be transparent rather than opaque, and all the weapons are shown to be painted, even though the only weapon that actually features &#039;&#039;any&#039;&#039; paint on the final toy is the sword. Conversely, both the CG render &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; the near-final stock photo of the robot mode show the new abdomen piece as being painted in a single red color, while the final product (including the TakaraTomy stock photos) have the details in the center section painted in movie-accurate silver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The CG render on the front packaging is a rather lazily edited version of the Optimus Prime art (complete with &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;-styled abdomen), with the Jetwing unit slapped on his back. There are also a few obvious design oversights, with no actual means of attaching the shield to Prime&#039;s arm in a shield-like manner, the handle of the axe colliding with the arm panel if pushed in all the way, and no official instructions on how to store the Ion blaster in the trailer. At least for the blaster, it can still use the ports on the truck as before, and there is sufficient space in the trailer itself to store the blaster or a few other accessories. And while Prime himself has been improved to prevent parts popping off, the dark grey &amp;quot;shoulder straps&amp;quot; on the Jetwing have a frustrating tendency to pop off due to the raised rectangular details directly under them, meant to hold them in place with friction but instead causing the part to flex and deform under pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Despite the figure&#039;s size classification, Prime himself is Voyager-sized (obviously, seeing as he&#039;s a retool of a previous &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Voyager). The Leader Class price point comes from the extra accessories that he comes packaged with.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;15th Anniversary&amp;quot; Optimus Prime is a redeco of the second &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; figure, featuring slightly minimized/altered paint applications and plastic color changes. Aside from that, he doesn&#039;t come with the Ion blaster included with the regular release but instead comes with the two swords included with the original &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; version of the mold, cast in a slightly more reddish clear orange and painted a brighter silver instead of gunmetal. In terms of deco, Optimus&#039;s metallic gray plastic is replaced with a light shade of grayish silver, the paint operations on his forearms and lower legs are omitted, and the previously colorless plastic used on the real/faux truck windows is now translucent black. The new blue paint used for most of the torso/truck cab is a noticeably different shade compared to the blue plastic, whereas the blue paint on the original release was a much closer match to the plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Interestingly, the robot mode stock render and photo show Optimus wielding his swords with the blades on the inside of the arms instead of the outside. Unlike the original SS-32 release, this release comes with the securely pinned back hinges used for the Leader Class figure. There has been one instance of yellowing on the grey plastic used, but it is not known if it is a widespread issue or an isolated instance. As with previous versions of this mold, the tabs that hold the front grill together in truck mode have the potential to break.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure comes in an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive 5-pack alongside redecoes of &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Bumblebee]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ironhide]], [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ratchet]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#SS15thAnniversary|Jazz]], released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the first live-action [[Transformers (film)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film]].

:&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; 15th Anniversary&amp;quot; Optimus Prime is another release of the [[#SS32|SS-32 mold]] with [[#Studio Series|SS-05]]&#039;s Energon swords, though this time both sport their original decos. The digital render and stock photos for this release have him holding the swords correctly. This also comes with the securely pinned back hinges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure comes in an Amazon exclusive pack alongside &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Jetfire (Movie)#SSROTF15th|Jetfire]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)#SSROTF15th|Chromia]], [[Arcee (Movie)#SSROTF15th|Arcee]], and [[Elita-One (Movie)#SSROTF15th|Elita-1]], released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the second live-action Transformers film. Although this version of Optimus is technically for the first movie, its inclusion makes sense as this mold is the one that combines with Jetfire. The box meanwhile reuses SS-05&#039;s package art. The pack comes with a unique reversible backdrop with the first version of the &amp;quot;Pyramid Desert Battle&amp;quot; scene on one side and the &amp;quot;Shanghai Pursuit&amp;quot; scene on the other.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the 18th wave of &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Leader Class figures, Optimus Prime is based on his &amp;quot;knight&amp;quot; appearance in &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039;, specifically with the arm design prior to obtaining the Sword of Judgment, though he still includes the sword. He is about the same height as his prior &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; Voyagers, filling out his price point with higher mass and parts count, including opening fingers and enough articulation to hold his sword with both hands. Easily missed, the truck hood on his backpack can be hinged up, which gives more room for his waist to rotate. His waist rotation does not include his crotch armor, which can make some poses look a little awkward. Curiously, his thigh armor has been incorrectly rendered as separate hip skirts like on his [[#Leader Class toys 5|2014 Leader Class mold]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He transforms into a licensed Western Star 5700EX truck in 44 steps. The fifth wheel hitch works with the trailers of his Generation 1 counterpart&#039;s most [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Earthrise|recent]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Studio Series|toys]], though they both end up hanging at an angle. He can&#039;t tow the trailer of his [[#SS44|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; version]] due to that trailer’s larger peg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus includes the Sword of Judgement, the Vector Shield, a silver-painted Energon blade, and a storage adapter piece. The sword features a removable hilt so figures without opening hands can wield it. The Vector Shield can be reassembled into its cannon mode using 5 mm connections. The sword and shield connect to the adapter piece to store on his robot back (this unfortunately results in his roof panel sticking up obtrusively behind his head) and in the truck hitch. The Energon blade can tab into his wrist and stores on tabs on either side of his back (though this risks chipping the paint on those tabs) and on tabs at the back of the truck mode.Undocumented, the blade can also attach to an otherwise unused tab underneath the shield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus&#039;s large kibble backpack can be easily popped off its mushroom peg to give him a cleaner profile at the cost of weapon storage. There is also a [https://youtu.be/Kwk2zBPpL7o&amp;amp;t=1045 fan mode] that provides a more secure (and cleaner!) storage for the Sword in truck mode. This is done by opening the back of the truck cab and threading the hilt end of the sword into the oddly-perfectly sized space between the smokestacks and back of the cab, and then closing it back up. The adapter piece with shield attached can still be slid onto the blade and attached securely onto the fifth wheel hitch. Care should be taken not to damage the Sword when transforming back to robot mode, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus is missing some sculpting on the smokestacks that is present in the instructions, as well as having the tips of his smokestacks trimmed off. His official product description includes two major errors: the first mislabels Optimus&#039; truck mode as a Western Star 4900EX rather than a 5700EX. The second is the mention of a swappable head gimmick, which designer Evan Brooks quickly clarified would not be the case.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citesocial|quote=Hello! That description seems to be an error. He doesn&#039;t come with an alternate head.|link=https://twitter.com/TFHypeGuy/status/1879335782542168556|name=Evan Brooks (via TFHypeGuy)|site=Twitter|year=2025|month=01|day=14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to being larger and heavier than previous Voyagers, this Optimus can barely ride &#039;&#039;Studio Series&#039;&#039; [[Grimlock (AOE)#Studio Series|Grimlock]], another Leader Class figure from years prior. Fortunately, a Titan Class version of [[Grimlock (AOE)#SSTitan|Grimlock]] was released the next year, featuring a dedicated spot and peg for this Optimus to ride!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus was first teased at the October 2024 MCM Comic Con London, before being officially announced on [[January 13]], 2025. Pre-orders went live the next day.&lt;br /&gt;

In addition to his red war paint, he features a darker color scheme to signify his brainwashing by Quintessa and further differentiate him from the prior release.

:Released as part of the &#039;&#039;Bumblebee&#039;&#039; Energon Igniter&#039;s Speed Series line, this Optimus is a Legends/Legion-sized mold that transforms from robot into a Cab-over truck with the transformation scheme shared with the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers (2010)]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#2010Legend|&#039;&#039;Reveal The Shield&#039;&#039; Legends Class toy]], and he features 3&amp;amp;nbsp;mm compatible hands. Optimus&#039; truck mode can also be attached with the Energon Igniters core, and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly, making him a fast-moving truck. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to its simplified transformation, Optimus&#039; robot shoulder parts ended up sticking out from his truck mode, and his upper cabin panel ends up being integrated with his head. Unlike most Speed Series toys, he also shares a similar pivoting shoulder articulation from his &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; counterpart, and his Energon Igniter port ends up under his right foot in robot mode rather than on his knee.&lt;br /&gt;

The gunmetal on his forehead and faceplate is now silver, the knees&#039; details are omitted, and he features tampographed Autobot insignias on his shoulders. In preliminary stock imagery such as the images to the right the shoulder insignias were depicted as only white outlines on the red plastic without the &#039;face&#039; and &#039;eyes&#039; filled out in red and white respectively, but the actual product had the insignias correctly colored.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released as part of the &#039;&#039;[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]&#039;&#039; subline, Optimus Prime is now based on his appearance in &#039;&#039;Rise Of The Beasts&#039;&#039; - reusing only the windshield, wheels, and some transformation cues from [[#SS38|SS-38 Optimus Prime]]. He is rather impressively made using only 4 new molds compared to the usual 9. Optimus includes a new blade and arm cannon accessory. The blade can be handheld or mounted on his wrists, and both accessories can be used on either arm or stored on his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a Freightliner FLT. Both accessories can be stored in the truck bed. The vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed in the stock images; the panels with the Autobot symbols on the front of his arms should be folded down and the fuel tanks in his legs should be folded out. He shares some transformation elements with MPM-12 Prime above, particularly in the arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure is rather notorious for a number of design choices that are questionable at best, and outright designs flaws at worst. The shoulder articulation is extremely limited, resulting in him only being able to shrug when his arms are raised to the sides. Due to the mold and budget limitations, the truck has some prominent kibble in the rear and lacks a fifth wheel hitch. In some copies, his transformation scheme causes his rearmost tires to lift off the ground. The instructions imply the chest panels open out 90 degrees, but they only open to about 45. There&#039;s enough clearance and the plastic is thick enough that it shouldn&#039;t break if forced, but don&#039;t try to force it regardless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also features design flaws in the grey panels on each forearm designed to open and allow the transformation of the hands. If opened all the way, a surface on the interior of each panel obstructs the fist you&#039;re trying to fold out or in and places undue stress on the wrist joint which can lead to Prime&#039;s hands snapping off at the base of their mushroom peg connection. So exercise caution and only open these grey panels to 45 degrees which paradoxically affords more clearance, rather than the full 90 to try and avoid this. There&#039;s also clearance issues between those panels and the roundel in the elbow which can pop the flaps off if the elbow is anything but straight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Whether by coincidence or by design, his chest can open up along with a third panel (that includes a faux grill not seen in either mode for some reason) in a manner that replicates his Matrix chamber in the 1986 movie, though no Matrix of Leadership toys can fit inside without impeding his transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In the United States, this figure is exclusive to [[Target]] stores like the rest of the &#039;&#039;Buzzworthy Bumblebee&#039;&#039; line, though a small quantity was also offered for preorder via [[Hasbro Pulse]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:If you really wanted to, you can swap the head with SS-38 Optimus to give that one a more accurate head, since they share the same sized ball joint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As per [[Hasbro]] designer [[Evan Brooks]] in the [[Hasbro Pulse]] livestream debuting &#039;&#039;[[Studio Series]]&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Rise of the Beasts&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)#Optimus Primal|Optimus Primal]], &amp;quot;spare space on the tooling&amp;quot; was used to pack in an axe accessory with Primal specifically intended for this figure that was costed out of the initial release.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[June 20]], 2023&#039;s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjLY0uamTKM Hasbro Pulse Transformers Fanstream] on YouTube, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Mark Maher]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Rich Pellegrino]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:Released as part of the first wave of &amp;quot;Core&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (toyline)|Rise of the Beasts]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime is based on early control art for the movie, and thus comes with his Ion Blaster accessory (He would end up having an arm mounted cannon in the film), which can be wielded in his hands, mounted on the 5 mm port on his back for robot mode storage, or mounted on the trailer hitch for vehicle mode storage. Due to him being based on control art, his mask&#039;s Cybernetic details and accessory is different from the movie. His gas tanks &#039;&#039;may&#039;&#039; have a tendency to pop off, so don&#039;t pull on them too hard during transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus is mostly molded in gray plastic, with most of his red and &#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039; of his blue details being painted on. Care should be taken when handling the figure, as the black paint on his crotch is prone to chipping over time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Prime is compatible with most of the recent trailers released with his fellow Primes, but they all end up hanging at an angle as the trailer hitch is elevated up too far due to his feet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed in the image to the right, the fuel tanks that are on the back of his legs in robot mode should be folded out for vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*The original design for what would become &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;&#039;s [[#UltimatePrime|Ultimate Optimus Prime]] toy was significantly different. As Hasbro&#039;s toy designers did not know the purpose of the trailer in the film yet, they created a trailer that opened up to reveal a rotating cannon that Optimus would sit in. Once it was revealed to become a jetpack, the designers had to rush to redesign the toy. Takara&#039;s take became [[#Supreme Class toys|Jetwing Optimus Prime]], though it is currently unknown if theirs was also a last minute change.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citesocial|link=https://twitter.com/playwiththistoo/status/1595146431534600199|quote=That Hasbro trailer was very last minute.

The job of &#039;&#039;&#039;Ricochet&#039;&#039;&#039;, aka &#039;&#039;&#039;Stepper&#039;&#039;&#039; (ステッパー &#039;&#039;Suteppā&#039;&#039;), is Rapid-Fire Attack, and he&#039;s well suited to it. He is the most accurate marksman the Autobots have and a [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] as well, further augmenting his incredible skill. Unfortunately he&#039;s also quick-tempered and very easily provoked. This leads to him having a hard time maintaining friendly relations or even conversations with his teammates. In his favor, Ricochet has an uncommonly strong sense of justice (exactly twice as strong as the ordinary Autobot).&lt;br /&gt;

Ricochet accompanied [[Artfire]], [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]], and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] in responding to a building fire. While the Autobots attempted to rescue people and put out the flames, the [[Decepticon]] Targetmasters attacked. However, the arrival of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], who dropped [[fire-retardant foam]] on the buildings in starship mode, gave the two Autobot Targetmasters the chance they needed to combine with their gun-partners and send the Decepticons flying away uncontrollably. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 7|The Headmasters #7}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
At some point after [[2011]], Ricochet&#039;s metabolic functions were damaged in an incident. Nebulon, an engineer on the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], volunteered to help him by undergoing a unique form of [[binary bonding]]. While ostensibly becoming a Targetmaster, Nightstick&#039;s gun mode wasn&#039;t merely hand-held. He instead plugged into Ricochet&#039;s [[robot mode]] back, serving as a life-support system.&lt;br /&gt;

In the late 1980s, Ricochet was among the Autobots who fought to protect the [[Transform Super Cog]] from being stolen by the [[Decepticon]]s, but the [[Battlecharger]]s were able get past their defenses. {{Storylink|Slugslinger&#039;s Ambition}}&lt;br /&gt;

A devastating [[nano-virus]] plagued the Earthbound Autobots, a plague that Headmasters or Targetmasters like Ricochet were mysteriously immune from. [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] charged Ricochet with leading a team of unafflicted Autobots to [[Nebulos]], where the supreme scientist [[Zella]] had crafted an antidote. Ricochet worried aloud that their departure would leave Autobot City vulnerable, but Perceptor assured him that it would be [[Drift (G1)|properly guarded]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Ricochet&#039;s team arrived on Nebulos, [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] warned him he was having a bad feeling about all this. And sure enough, Kup&#039;s intuitions were correct, as an army of Decepticons led by [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] appeared via an inter-dimensional portal. The nano-virus was part of a larger plot to draw out the Headmasters and Targetmasters so that their Nebulan partners could be collected. As the Autobots concentrated their attacks on Straxus, Ricochet slipped through the battle to pick up Zella&#039;s antidote, blasting his way through [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] in the process. By the time he returned with a cart full of the stuff, his Autobots had defeated the Decepticons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The antidote was successful, and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] personally thanked Ricochet for his brave efforts. {{storylink|The Fierce Fighting on Planet Nebulos}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Tread&amp;amp;Circuits1 RicochetHotShotStunt.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|]]&lt;br /&gt;
Ricochet was a member of the [[Wreckers]], a covert operations team disguised as a traveling stunt show. They were active among and between the Cybertronian colonies after the [[War of the Threefold Spark]]. Ricochet and his partner [[Hot Shot (G1)|Hot Shot]] were the main talent in the act and they shared a competitive dynamic over which one was faster and better (both on and off camera). One of the Wreckers&#039; broadcasts was interrupted by dissidents on [[Velocitron]] called [[Mayhem Attack Squad|Mayhem]], who objected to the position of First Senator being picked by the outcome of the [[Speedia 500]] race, and promised to disrupt it. Wreckers leader [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]] brought the stunt show to Velocitron after that and entered the team in the race as a show of support for Velocitron (and to get close to the action to stop Mayhem). {{storylink|Tread &amp;amp; Circuits Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before the race, the Wreckers did recon of the other competitors, suspicious that Mayhem may have an inside &#039;bot at the Speedia. Ricochet observed the reclusive biker [[Sideways (RM)|Sideways]], but was unable to get a read on him. Their recon was interrupted when the Wreckers&#039; chronicler [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]] spotted Mayhem in the city, but was sniped and critically injured. [[Minerva (G1 robot)|Minerva]] took to watching over Circuit as the other Wreckers gathered at the starting line and the Speedia 500 began. {{storylink|Tread &amp;amp; Circuits Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tread&amp;amp;Circuits3 HotShotDragStripRicochet.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|]]&lt;br /&gt;
Thunderclash gave Ricochet and Hot Shot permission to go all out in the race. They found themselves neck-and-neck with the dirty trickster called [[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Strip]]. Mayhem attacked the race course, causing an avalanche which Drag Strip negotiated around. Hot Shot gave Ricochet a boost over the rubble, but they were targeted by Mayhem&#039;s [[Thunderblast (G1)|Thunderblast]] and [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]] from the air. Hot Shot took a hit, but the rest of the racers caught up, leading to an all-out melee. The remaining racers dragged themselves across the finish line, but even the arrival of [[Security Operations]] didn&#039;t stop Mayhem from escaping. {{storylink|Tread &amp;amp; Circuits Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Days later, the racers gathered at the Velocitronian Senate as the winner Knock Out was sworn in as the new First Senator. Mayhem made another strike at the ceremony, and Ricochet and Hot Shot got a rematch with Thunderblast and Slugslinger. They tag-teamed the terrorists and knocked them out, but Minerva ended up being arrested under suspicion of attacking the First Senator. With Minerva incarcerated and Circuit passing away from his injuries, the Wreckers questioned whether they should go on. Although their stunt show went on hiatus, Thunderclash tried to boost his troops&#039; spirits by suggesting a recruitment drive for the future. {{storylink|Tread &amp;amp; Circuits Part 4}}&lt;br /&gt;

As a [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]], he came with a smaller partner robot named [[Nebulon (Headmasters)#Toys|Nebulon]]. In gun mode, Nebulon could peg into Stepper&#039;s retooled car mode spoiler, or could attach to a separate bracket that mounted over his robot mode shoulder. Stepper did not come with any of Jazz&#039;s accessories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As a late addition to the Japanese &#039;&#039;Headmasters&#039;&#039; series (he was a tail-ender release and was unlikely to have been on shelves for very long as stores would reset for the new [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#Masterforce|&#039;&#039;Super-God Masterforce&#039;&#039; toyline]]) and one of the earliest Japanese-only Transformers, though Stepper was not &#039;&#039;particularly&#039;&#039; rare, he was perceived as such in the West. As such, for several years Stepper commanded top dollar on the secondary market... until the reissue (see below) pretty much iced that.&lt;br /&gt;

: Stepper was reissued as part of Takara&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]&#039;&#039; series, and almost simultaneously by Hasbro in their &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]&#039;&#039; (see below). This version of the figure featured a bolstered arsenal that now included golden-chromed versions of Jazz&#039;s weapons; additionally, Nebulon was retooled with a slender peg extension to allow Stepper to actually hold him in his hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The reissue also featured some small remolding, with the easily-broken plastic clasp that held Stepper&#039;s legs in being altered to a more sturdy pin and solid plastic holder combination. Also, the [[mold]] degradation that had plagued Jazz&#039;s head sculpt since the days of the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; toyline]]—which had reduced his face to a distorted grimace—was finally amended, restoring the figure&#039;s original appearance. This restored tooling was subsequently used for the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Encore]]&#039;&#039; reissue of Jazz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Unlike every other [[Generation 1 reissues|Generation 1 reissue]] up to that point, Stepper was initiated by Hasbro, to be released alongside their &#039;&#039;Commemorative Series&#039;&#039; release (see below).

&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Hasbro]] actually announced their reissue of Stepper prior to [[TakaraTomy|Takara]], finally christening him with the new English name of &amp;quot;Ricochet&amp;quot; seventeen years after his creation. Released as part of the ninth and final wave of [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] [[exclusive]] &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]&#039;&#039; reissues, Ricochet shared all the modifications made to Takara&#039;s reissue, except that—as had previously been the case with Hasbro&#039;s [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Commemorative Series|&#039;&#039;Commemorative Series&#039;&#039; reissue of Jazz]]—his rifle and missiles were un-chromed black plastic, and both the missiles and launcher were elongated to standard [[for safety reasons|safety-regulation]] length in order to retail actual missile-launching functionality (the only &amp;quot;Autobot car&amp;quot; releases in the line to have working launchers).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Ricochet was initially listed as &amp;quot;[[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys|Sunstreaker]]&amp;quot; in Canadian and Australian Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us computers, leading to some confusion among fans. What&#039;s worse, the public Canadian Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us website even illustrated their listing with a non-[[stock photography|official photo]] of the Generation 1 Sunstreaker toy lifted straight off a [http://www.ggaub.com/tf/toy.html fan&#039;s website], complete with watermark!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Amusingly enough, after years of demand by the fandom, Ricochet didn&#039;t sell particularly well at all. He was eventually sent to the &amp;quot;closeout&amp;quot; chain Tuesday Morning, where he could be purchased for $8 (original TRU price: $35). Japan saw similar clearance sales on its version.&lt;br /&gt;

Like Silverstreak, Ricochet&#039;s alternate mode is a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] Subaru Impreza WRX featuring opening doors, hood and trunk and a detailed interior. The intercooler becomes a hand-held (non-firing) weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Ricochet was among the first &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; figures to feature a state-specific [[license plate]]; Ricochet is registered in [[New Jersey (Earth)|New Jersey]]. With his attitude, he&#039;ll fit right in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Though early official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] (including those printed on the underside of the packaging) depict Ricochet with a fully-gold face, the final product&#039;s nose is white for unknown reasons. Contrary to popular belief, it was not left unpainted, as his head is made out of black plastic.&lt;br /&gt;

Stepper has deployable speakers in both robot and vehicle mode, which can combine with his rifle via 3 mm clips to form a super rifle or be used on any other [[C joint|clip-compatible]] &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Curiously, Ricochet&#039;s engineering includes wrist swivels, but the panels molded underneath his forearms render them largely worthless.

&lt;br /&gt;
: It is currently unknown if Ricochet suffers the same breakage problems with his translucent plastic as his mold-mate. So far, seems good.&lt;br /&gt;

: Ricochet comes with a &amp;quot;Prime Armor&amp;quot; accessory with a socket for a [[Prime Master]], [[Titan Master]], [[Enigma of Combination]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]], which can also transform into a hand for a combiner robot. He also comes with a piece that can fill the gap in the Prime Armor or be held as a gun. To connect the armor, the grill portion of Ricochet&#039;s chest has two indents that fit the tabs on the &amp;quot;thumbs&amp;quot; when inserted at a slight angle. This Prime Armor mold was also used for [[Moonracer (G1)#Generations|Moonracer]], [[Firestar (G1)#Generations|Novastar]], and [[Punch (G1)#Power of the Primes|Punch-Counterpunch]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*The &amp;quot;Stepper/Ricochet&amp;quot; name situation is a bit of a rare one in &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;: while it &#039;&#039;was&#039;&#039; very common for toy characters to get name changes when making the jump from Takara to Hasbro markets and vice-versa up through the mid-2000s, there&#039;s usually not a lot of time between the character&#039;s creation and said jump, rarely more than a year in the majority of cases. In this one, the character was exclusively &amp;quot;Stepper&amp;quot; for nearly &#039;&#039;twenty years&#039;&#039; before Hasbro brought him over as &amp;quot;Ricochet&amp;quot;. (Nowadays, with both companies working so close together, characters making the cross-company jump typically keep their original name, or a close-enough-to-pass-legal version thereof.) As is TFWiki&#039;s policy, we use his English-market name throughout this article, though we do admit that it can sometimes feel a little... dishonest? ...given how long he was just &amp;quot;Stepper&amp;quot;. We no longer do the same for [[Nebulon (Headmasters)|his partner]] due to the unique complications with that matter.&lt;br /&gt;
*Stepper and Artfire&#039;s Targetmaster partners&#039; names were switched from their [[Nightstick (G1)|English-language]] [[Fracas|counterparts]]. There has been some speculation among fans that &amp;quot;Stepper&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Artfire&amp;quot; may have been switched as well, given that Artfire is the one with a ladder to step on and Stepper is the one with art of fire on him. This is fueled by the fact that [[Hot Shot (RID)|Hot Shot]], the Ricochet homage in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; franchise]], was named Art Fire in Japan (albeit with a different pronunciation than the Targetmaster), not Stepper.&lt;br /&gt;
*Hasbro designer [[Aaron Archer]] picked the name Ricochet, as the reissue meant that &amp;quot;the character was &#039;&#039;coming back&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;, and as he&#039;d enjoyed the [[1991]] movie &#039;&#039;{{w|Ricochet (1991 film)|Ricochet}}&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citesocial|quote=We couldn&#039;t use the name Stepper for some reason. I named him Ricochet for no really good reason other than the character was coming back—you know, like, &#039;&#039;ricochet&#039;&#039;—and it was also a movie that I kind of enjoyed, a weird movie, at one time... so I just thought it was an interesting name.|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwZF8BdltK4&amp;amp;t=2039s|name=Aaron Archer|site=The Toy Armada|title=&amp;quot;Toy Armada Friday Night LIVE - Armada Hot Shot and more!&amp;quot;|year=2023|month=11|day=10}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]&#039;&#039; Galvatron transforms into a Cybertronic treaded field artillery unit with an alternate hand-held gun mode.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Galvatron, like the other new characters created for &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;, was designed for animation first, and his toy was based on these early designs. However, as with the other characters, his animation model underwent further modifications before being finalized. This is particularly noticeable with Galvatron; his toy is in a largely gray color scheme, but his most prominent media appearances in the movie and animated series feature him decked out in a regal shade of purple. His outdated character model and colors would live on over in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel Comics]] continuity – including a particularly toyetic example in his [[:File:Target 2006 Prologue Galvatron, Scourge %26 Cyclonus.jpg|debut issue]] – as well as other ancillary media produced to advertise the toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: 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 &#039;&#039;[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]&#039;&#039; sub-line.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: 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 angry, sneering 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&#039;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]]: &amp;quot;Wa-ha-ha-ha, kono orokamono-me!&amp;quot; (Bwah ha ha ha! You fools!), &amp;quot;Eei, Cybertron o hineri-tsubuse!&amp;quot; (Hrr--crush the Autobots!), &amp;quot;Kono yaku-tatazu mono ga!&amp;quot; (You&#039;re all useless!), &amp;quot;Eei, hakai shite kureru wa!&amp;quot; (Grrah, I&#039;ll destroy you!), and &amp;quot;Destron gundan, transform!&amp;quot; (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. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version of the mold was later redecoed into the original toy&#039;s colors for the [[e-HOBBY]]-exclusive [[Galvatron II#Generation 1|Galvatron II]], with a new speech clip.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro), [[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; 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#ActionMaster|Megatron]]&#039;s old [[Neutro-Fusion Tank]]. On the tank turret is the slogan &amp;quot;GALV-25&amp;quot;, in reference to the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; brand&#039;s 25th anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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&amp;amp;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 &amp;quot;walking tank.&amp;quot;] It is still possible to manipulate his parts into a mode greatly resembling the original concept design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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&#039;s wheels are molded in the same translucent orange as the cannon, and then painted over with &#039;&#039;a slightly different shade of orange&#039;&#039;. [[Hasbro]] lead designer [[Bill Rawley]] commented at [[BotCon 2010]] that these must have been paint-assignment errors. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hasbro&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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&#039;s fin.&lt;br /&gt;

Bizarrely enough, this redeco is frequently said to have even more stability problems than the original version.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]&#039;&#039; Galvatron is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Galvatron. As with all &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; releases, TakaraTomy have attempted to make the toy better resemble his cartoon counterpart, so most of the bright orange plastic from the &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; toy is now black. The shade of purple used on &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; Galvatron is the lighter, lavender shade commonly seen on Takara&#039;s Galvatron toys, rather than the deeper purple seen on Hasbro&#039;s Galvatron toys. The left arm now retains the &amp;quot;correct&amp;quot; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron features [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] plastic, though in Galvatron&#039;s case it is the most random and illogical usage of the gimmick yet in the &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; toyline. Galvatron&#039;s entire tank turret and the equipment on the vehicle side skirts are vacuum-metallized silver, making him one hell of a blingin&#039; 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 &amp;quot;anime-colored&amp;quot; G1 Galvatron reissue and on &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]&#039;&#039; [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Energon|Galvatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Noticeably, it&#039;s often reported that a lot of the stability issues present in his &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; counterpart have been fixed with his version, with his limbs being much less floppy and prone to falling off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Also of note, the box art on the back of the packaging shows the mythical third &amp;quot;turret&amp;quot; mode, but has no instructions on how to convert the toy into it. &lt;br /&gt;

He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the &#039;&#039;Kre-O Battleship&#039;&#039; aliens), plus a buildable combination drill/gatling cannon, a club (that can also accommodate the blade), a large rifle, a dual-missile backpack, and the [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]]-style wing-pack.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This redeco of the&#039;&#039; [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; 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]]. It also has the distinction on being the only version of the mold to have a metallic purple turret, further increasing screen accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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 &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;more show-accurate&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; less like a real-world tank. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron was sold as part of a &amp;quot;Specialist: Decepticons&amp;quot; [[giftset]] alongside [[Astrotrain (G1)/toys#Generations|Astrotrain]] and [[Octane#Generations|Octane]]. This was a Hasbro Asian market release, with the packaging and paperwork entirely in English. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron is a Voyager-class mold as part of the &#039;&#039;[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]&#039;&#039; subline imprint, partially inspired by Guido Guidi&#039;s design from &#039;&#039;[[Spotlight: Galvatron]]&#039;&#039;. He transforms into his original cannon mode and also has a third mode as a space fighter. He includes a &amp;quot;[[Nucleon (TR)|Nucleon]]&amp;quot; [[Titan Master]] partner that can turn into the robot&#039;s head, or can pilot the vehicle modes. Like many of the weapons in the &#039;&#039;Titans Return&#039;&#039; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like all &#039;&#039;Titans Return&#039;&#039; Voyager-class figures, Galvatron has a spring-loaded pop-out adornment to &amp;quot;bulk up&amp;quot; his head to slightly more appropriate proportions. In his case, it&#039;s a &amp;quot;mask&amp;quot; of sorts that consists of his signature crown and chinstrap that swings out of his chest. Unfortunately, it doesn&#039;t sit flush against his face due to the mask&#039;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 &#039;&#039;Legends&#039;&#039; release however, features the same paint mask as the prototypes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/9/9a/20210826202636%21TitansReturnGalvatron3modes.jpg promotional images for this figure] 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]]. According to [[John Warden]], the mold included a [[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]] alternate head which was &amp;quot;an animated Galvatron&amp;quot;, and a toy-based silver version of the figure had been conceptualised, but neither of these possibilities were followed through on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20210508015032/https://www.allspark.com/2017/10/our-nycc-2017-interview-with-john-warden-design-manager/ NYCC 2017 John Warden interview]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]&#039;&#039; offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;, this Galvatron is another redeco of the 2008 &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class figure, meant to be in &amp;quot;[[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]]&amp;quot; colors but attempting so in a manner slightly different from previous versions. Notably, it features the return of the &amp;quot;mistaken&amp;quot; tank mode paint color on the left arm. It also uses the Decepticon insignia from the [[live-action film series]] instead of the &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; variety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron was available as part of a 2-pack with [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#PERORP|Rodimus Prime]] (a redeco of the &#039;&#039;[[#Titanium Series|Titanium Series]]&#039;&#039; figure), aptly named &amp;quot;Rise of Rodimus Prime&amp;quot;, which also contained a [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Platinum Edition|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory, a redeco of the Matrix originally included with &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]/[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10hasbro|Optimus Prime]] which Galvatron can loosely hold in his right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like several of the 2016 &#039;&#039;Platinum Edition&#039;&#039; sets, &amp;quot;Rise of Rodimus Prime&amp;quot; saw a very limited release: Basically, the two-pack was released in some of Hasbro&#039;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 &#039;&#039;Brazil&#039;&#039;, of all places, where it was also first officially revealed by Hasbro at ABRIN (the Brazilian Toy Fair) in April of 2016. &#039;&#039;That&#039;s it&#039;&#039;. The set never saw an official Hasbro-initiated release in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;

The original announcement showed a sculpt based on Galvatron&#039;s &#039;&#039;Titans Return&#039;&#039; design, in three colors, but the final released figurine was based on the G1 design, in a single color. Due to this toy&#039;s tiny size and the fact that it is completely painted, many of its details are indistinct. Also in comparison to the prototype seen in a hobby magazine, the space between the arms and torso is held by a thin plastic burr, mainly to prevent fragility.&lt;br /&gt;

:The sole new release in the third wave of  &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]&#039;&#039; Leader Class toys, Galvatron transforms from an extremely [[show-accuracy|accurate]] robot into a treaded, tripod &amp;quot;Galactic cannon&amp;quot; in 33 steps.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pulse&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In first, by concealing the base of the cannon within the robot torso, the toy&#039;s transformation manages to depict the purple-upper body-to-grey-cannon trick as seen in the animation, a design goal since the 2008 &#039;&#039;[[#Universe (2008)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; toy. The rear &amp;quot;leg&amp;quot; of the cannon is on multiple hinges, allowing the toy to aim at different elevations. He features [[Tampograph|printed]] light purple &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; on his upper torso along with opaque orange &amp;quot;particle&amp;quot; effects at the base of his cannon barrel, and [[Paint operation|painted]] battle damage on his lower legs, similar to figures from the previous two &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron Trilogy&#039;&#039; toylines. As part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]/[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]], Galvatron has multiple [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]], though he is missing 3 mm posts on his body for [[Fire Blast effect]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron&#039;s particle beam cannon can be mounted onto multiple 5 mm ports, including his forearm or upper arm, or separated into two pieces for cannon mode. He also includes the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Galvatron|Matrix of Leadership]], modified from the one first included with &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]]. The changed molding allows it to mount onto an included chain via a 5mm post, which can rest around his neck or attach at the base of the cannon barrel in his alternate mode. Galvatron also includes two unpainted grey &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron Trilogy&#039;&#039; [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Unicron]]-[[scale]]d &#039;&#039;[[Revenge (G1)|Revenge]]&#039;&#039; ships that Galvatron can hold as blasters, combine into a larger gun, store on his back (at two-different heights), or attach parallel to the barrel in his cannon mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the treads on his arms can be securely locked into holes in the shoulders, doing this restricts arm articulation. His feet have flip-out heel extensions, though they&#039;re hardly needed since he&#039;s heavy enough to be sturdy in most poses. Tip: The ankle tilts are slightly restricted due to the engineering in his legs. Untabbing the purple clips below his knees should help get more tiltage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Earlier specimens of Galvatron have a [[misassembly]] in the robot shoulders:  the center joint is installed upside-down, causing the shoulders to sit lower than intended. The height issue can be somewhat corrected by using the reversible transformation joint to have the back of the shoulders face forward instead, but this results in flathead pins being left prominently exposed, while adding one more extra step on the transformation. The holes the pins are placed in are 5mm compatible, so you may be able to use the misassembly to your advantage. A [[Variant|running change]] later fully corrected the shoulder assembly; the condition of the shoulders is visible in [[Mint in sealed box|packaged specimens]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://twitter.com/ThatJohnD/status/1432147420486512646]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Much like most of the toyline, Galvatron comes with one of four possible holographic [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] cards for his wave, which reveals a [[Source:Golden Disk destinies|possible destiny]] of a key character. Specifically, [[Megatron (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy marketing material|Megatron]]&#039;s destiny for his wave is becoming Galvatron. &lt;br /&gt;

These mini-figures can also be placed in the bridge of &#039;&#039;Kingdom&#039;&#039; [[Ark (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Autobot Ark]]&#039;s starship mode.&lt;br /&gt;

: The figure is missing the battle damage from the &#039;&#039;Kingdom&#039;&#039; release (claimed by Hasbro to be due to &amp;quot;buyer feedback&amp;quot;), making him appear more cartoon-accurate as a result, and the paint on the cannon barrel has been removed as well.&lt;br /&gt;

With the push of a lever he &amp;quot;transformed&amp;quot; into a full tiny figure complete with legs, standing up on the watch band. The figure cannot be removed from the watch, but the arms do rotate.&lt;br /&gt;

:The cannon barrel can detach and is &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; easily lost.  &lt;br /&gt;

:Takara originally planned a North American release of the Galvatron watch toy in 1986 and photographs of it were shown in their 1986 US product catalog. For unknown reasons, its intended 1986 release in the US was cancelled.  It eventually came out as part of &#039;&#039;[[Generation 2]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron was one of three non-transforming &#039;&#039;[[Super High-Breed Model]]&#039;&#039; vinyl figurines created in 1987 by Takara. 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: While the mass-market release of the &#039;&#039;Super High-Breed Model&#039;&#039; 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: &amp;quot;standard&amp;quot; purple and a translucent orange &amp;quot;lava bath&amp;quot; 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.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Very rarely, specimens from the intended 1987 release will surface on the secondary market.  That version of Galvatron can be distinguished by the Decepticon [[insignia]] on its chest, and also by its cardboard box packaging instead of clear plastic.  &lt;br /&gt;

And by &amp;quot;extensively,&amp;quot; we mean &#039;&#039;about 4 pounds of it&#039;&#039;.

The figure is sculpted to resemble his anime-styled [[Studio OX]] [[character model]], while also including a rifle based on the accessory from the original G1 toy.  The arm cannon lights up via [[LED]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* 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 &amp;quot;Reverse Megatron&amp;quot; design has a mild resemblance to the also-unproduced Galvatron [[Action Master]], especially in the chest design.&lt;br /&gt;
* 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&#039;s normal appearance and may possibly have been a &amp;quot;powered up&amp;quot; Galvatron of some sort.&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]&#039;&#039; Galvatron transforms into a Cybertronic treaded field artillery unit with an alternate hand-held gun mode.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Galvatron, like the other new characters created for &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;, was designed for animation first, and his toy was based on these early designs. However, as with the other characters, his animation model underwent further modifications before being finalized. This is particularly noticeable with Galvatron; his toy is in a largely gray color scheme, but his most prominent media appearances in the movie and animated series feature him decked out in a regal shade of purple. His outdated character model and colors would live on over in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel Comics]] continuity – including a particularly toyetic example in his [[:File:Target 2006 Prologue Galvatron, Scourge %26 Cyclonus.jpg|debut issue]] – as well as other ancillary media produced to advertise the toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: 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 &#039;&#039;[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]&#039;&#039; sub-line.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: 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 angry, sneering 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&#039;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]]: &amp;quot;Wa-ha-ha-ha, kono orokamono-me!&amp;quot; (Bwah ha ha ha! You fools!), &amp;quot;Eei, Cybertron o hineri-tsubuse!&amp;quot; (Hrr--crush the Autobots!), &amp;quot;Kono yaku-tatazu mono ga!&amp;quot; (You&#039;re all useless!), &amp;quot;Eei, hakai shite kureru wa!&amp;quot; (Grrah, I&#039;ll destroy you!), and &amp;quot;Destron gundan, transform!&amp;quot; (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. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version of the mold was later redecoed into the original toy&#039;s colors for the [[e-HOBBY]]-exclusive [[Galvatron II#Generation 1|Galvatron II]], with a new speech clip.&lt;br /&gt;

{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro), [[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; 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#ActionMaster|Megatron]]&#039;s old [[Neutro-Fusion Tank]]. On the tank turret is the slogan &amp;quot;GALV-25&amp;quot;, in reference to the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; brand&#039;s 25th anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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&amp;amp;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 &amp;quot;walking tank.&amp;quot;] It is still possible to manipulate his parts into a mode greatly resembling the original concept design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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&#039;s wheels are molded in the same translucent orange as the cannon, and then painted over with &#039;&#039;a slightly different shade of orange&#039;&#039;. [[Hasbro]] lead designer [[Bill Rawley]] commented at [[BotCon 2010]] that these must have been paint-assignment errors. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hasbro&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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&#039;s fin.&lt;br /&gt;

Bizarrely enough, this redeco is frequently said to have even more stability problems than the original version.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]&#039;&#039; Galvatron is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Galvatron. As with all &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; releases, TakaraTomy have attempted to make the toy better resemble his cartoon counterpart, so most of the bright orange plastic from the &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; toy is now black. The shade of purple used on &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; Galvatron is the lighter, lavender shade commonly seen on Takara&#039;s Galvatron toys, rather than the deeper purple seen on Hasbro&#039;s Galvatron toys. The left arm now retains the &amp;quot;correct&amp;quot; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron features [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] plastic, though in Galvatron&#039;s case it is the most random and illogical usage of the gimmick yet in the &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; toyline. Galvatron&#039;s entire tank turret and the equipment on the vehicle side skirts are vacuum-metallized silver, making him one hell of a blingin&#039; 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 &amp;quot;anime-colored&amp;quot; G1 Galvatron reissue and on &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]&#039;&#039; [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Energon|Galvatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Noticeably, it&#039;s often reported that a lot of the stability issues present in his &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; counterpart have been fixed with his version, with his limbs being much less floppy and prone to falling off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Also of note, the box art on the back of the packaging shows the mythical third &amp;quot;turret&amp;quot; mode, but has no instructions on how to convert the toy into it. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This redeco of the&#039;&#039; [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; 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]]. It also has the distinction on being the only version of the mold to have a metallic purple turret, further increasing screen accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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 &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;more show-accurate&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; less like a real-world tank. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron was sold as part of a &amp;quot;Specialist: Decepticons&amp;quot; [[giftset]] alongside [[Astrotrain (G1)/toys#Generations|Astrotrain]] and [[Octane#Generations|Octane]]. This was a Hasbro Asian market release, with the packaging and paperwork entirely in English. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron is a Voyager-class mold as part of the &#039;&#039;[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]&#039;&#039; subline imprint, partially inspired by Guido Guidi&#039;s design from &#039;&#039;[[Spotlight: Galvatron]]&#039;&#039;. He transforms into his original cannon mode and also has a third mode as a space fighter. He includes a &amp;quot;[[Nucleon (TR)|Nucleon]]&amp;quot; [[Titan Master]] partner that can turn into the robot&#039;s head, or can pilot the vehicle modes. Like many of the weapons in the &#039;&#039;Titans Return&#039;&#039; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like all &#039;&#039;Titans Return&#039;&#039; Voyager-class figures, Galvatron has a spring-loaded pop-out adornment to &amp;quot;bulk up&amp;quot; his head to slightly more appropriate proportions. In his case, it&#039;s a &amp;quot;mask&amp;quot; of sorts that consists of his signature crown and chinstrap that swings out of his chest. Unfortunately, it doesn&#039;t sit flush against his face due to the mask&#039;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 &#039;&#039;Legends&#039;&#039; release however, features the same paint mask as the prototypes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/9/9a/20210826202636%21TitansReturnGalvatron3modes.jpg promotional images for this figure] 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]]. According to [[John Warden]], the mold included a [[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]] alternate head which was &amp;quot;an animated Galvatron&amp;quot;, and a toy-based silver version of the figure had been conceptualised, but neither of these possibilities were followed through on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20210508015032/https://www.allspark.com/2017/10/our-nycc-2017-interview-with-john-warden-design-manager/ NYCC 2017 John Warden interview]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]&#039;&#039; offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;, this Galvatron is another redeco of the 2008 &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class figure, meant to be in &amp;quot;[[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]]&amp;quot; colors but attempting so in a manner slightly different from previous versions. Notably, it features the return of the &amp;quot;mistaken&amp;quot; tank mode paint color on the left arm. It also uses the Decepticon insignia from the [[live-action film series]] instead of the &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; variety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron was available as part of a 2-pack with [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#PERORP|Rodimus Prime]] (a redeco of the &#039;&#039;[[#Titanium Series|Titanium Series]]&#039;&#039; figure), aptly named &amp;quot;Rise of Rodimus Prime&amp;quot;, which also contained a [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Platinum Edition|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory, a redeco of the Matrix originally included with &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]/[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10hasbro|Optimus Prime]] which Galvatron can loosely hold in his right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like several of the 2016 &#039;&#039;Platinum Edition&#039;&#039; sets, &amp;quot;Rise of Rodimus Prime&amp;quot; saw a very limited release: Basically, the two-pack was released in some of Hasbro&#039;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 &#039;&#039;Brazil&#039;&#039;, of all places, where it was also first officially revealed by Hasbro at ABRIN (the Brazilian Toy Fair) in April of 2016. &#039;&#039;That&#039;s it&#039;&#039;. The set never saw an official Hasbro-initiated release in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;

The original announcement showed a sculpt based on Galvatron&#039;s &#039;&#039;Titans Return&#039;&#039; design, in three colors, but the final released figurine was based on the G1 design, in a single color. Due to this toy&#039;s tiny size and the fact that it is completely painted, many of its details are indistinct. Also in comparison to the prototype seen in a hobby magazine, the space between the arms and torso is held by a thin plastic burr, mainly to prevent fragility.&lt;br /&gt;

:The sole new release in the third wave of  &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]&#039;&#039; Leader Class toys, Galvatron transforms from an extremely [[show-accuracy|accurate]] robot into a treaded, tripod &amp;quot;Galactic cannon&amp;quot; in 33 steps.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pulse&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In first, by concealing the base of the cannon within the robot torso, the toy&#039;s transformation manages to depict the purple-upper body-to-grey-cannon trick as seen in the animation, a design goal since the 2008 &#039;&#039;[[#Universe (2008)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; toy. The rear &amp;quot;leg&amp;quot; of the cannon is on multiple hinges, allowing the toy to aim at different elevations. He features [[Tampograph|printed]] light purple &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; on his upper torso along with opaque orange &amp;quot;particle&amp;quot; effects at the base of his cannon barrel, and [[Paint operation|painted]] battle damage on his lower legs, similar to figures from the previous two &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron Trilogy&#039;&#039; toylines. As part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]/[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]], Galvatron has multiple [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]], though he is missing 3 mm posts on his body for [[Fire Blast effect]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron&#039;s particle beam cannon can be mounted onto multiple 5 mm ports, including his forearm or upper arm, or separated into two pieces for cannon mode. He also includes the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Galvatron|Matrix of Leadership]], modified from the one first included with &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]]. The changed molding allows it to mount onto an included chain via a 5mm post, which can rest around his neck or attach at the base of the cannon barrel in his alternate mode. Galvatron also includes two unpainted grey &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron Trilogy&#039;&#039; [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Unicron]]-[[scale]]d &#039;&#039;[[Revenge (G1)|Revenge]]&#039;&#039; ships that Galvatron can hold as blasters, combine into a larger gun, store on his back (at two-different heights), or attach parallel to the barrel in his cannon mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the treads on his arms can be securely locked into holes in the shoulders, doing this restricts arm articulation. His feet have flip-out heel extensions, though they&#039;re hardly needed since he&#039;s heavy enough to be sturdy in most poses. Tip: The ankle tilts are slightly restricted due to the engineering in his legs. Untabbing the purple clips below his knees should help get more tiltage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Earlier specimens of Galvatron have a [[misassembly]] in the robot shoulders:  the center joint is installed upside-down, causing the shoulders to sit lower than intended. The height issue can be somewhat corrected by using the reversible transformation joint to have the back of the shoulders face forward instead, but this results in flathead pins being left prominently exposed, while adding one more extra step on the transformation. The holes the pins are placed in are 5mm compatible, so you may be able to use the misassembly to your advantage. A [[Variant|running change]] later fully corrected the shoulder assembly; the condition of the shoulders is visible in [[Mint in sealed box|packaged specimens]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://twitter.com/ThatJohnD/status/1432147420486512646]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Much like most of the toyline, Galvatron comes with one of four possible holographic [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] cards for his wave, which reveals a [[Source:Golden Disk destinies|possible destiny]] of a key character. Specifically, [[Megatron (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy marketing material|Megatron]]&#039;s destiny for his wave is becoming Galvatron. &lt;br /&gt;

The instruction manual does not depict one of Galvatron&#039;s forehead stickers or any of those for his belt, and it also suggests applying his cannon-mode insignias in a way that would leave them upside down.

&lt;br /&gt;
: The figure is missing the battle damage from the &#039;&#039;Kingdom&#039;&#039; release (claimed by Hasbro to be due to &amp;quot;buyer feedback&amp;quot;), making him appear more cartoon-accurate as a result, and the paint on the cannon barrel has been removed as well.&lt;br /&gt;

With the push of a lever he &amp;quot;transformed&amp;quot; into a full tiny figure complete with legs, standing up on the watch band. The figure cannot be removed from the watch, but the arms do rotate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The cannon barrel can detach and is &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; easily lost.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Takara originally planned a North American release of the Galvatron watch toy in 1986 and photographs of it were shown in their 1986 US product catalog. For unknown reasons, its intended 1986 release in the US was cancelled.  It eventually came out as part of &#039;&#039;[[Generation 2]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron was one of three non-transforming &#039;&#039;[[Super High-Breed Model]]&#039;&#039; vinyl figurines created in 1987 by Takara. 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: While the mass-market release of the &#039;&#039;Super High-Breed Model&#039;&#039; 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: &amp;quot;standard&amp;quot; purple and a translucent orange &amp;quot;lava bath&amp;quot; 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.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Very rarely, specimens from the intended 1987 release will surface on the secondary market.  That version of Galvatron can be distinguished by the Decepticon [[insignia]] on its chest, and also by its cardboard box packaging instead of clear plastic.  &lt;br /&gt;

And by &amp;quot;extensively,&amp;quot; we mean &#039;&#039;about 4 pounds of it&#039;&#039;.  This figure has fewer moving parts and action features than its assortment-partner [[Hot Rod (G1)/merchandise#Ultimetal|&#039;&#039;Ultimetal&#039;&#039; Rodimus Prime]] but reaches the same [[price point]] through far more metal mass.  The figure is sculpted to resemble his anime-styled [[Studio OX]] [[character model]], while also including a rifle based on the accessory from the original G1 toy.  The arm cannon lights up via [[LED]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In addition to the instruction manual, a separate card warns owners that they must manually pull Galvatron&#039;s hips down and away from his pelvis before posing him, or else his codpiece will scratch the paint off his upper legs.  &lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the sixth wave of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers R.E.D.]]&#039;&#039; figures, Galvatron is a 6-inch tall non-transforming action figure based directly on his cartoon/movie appearance. He includes his Matrix of Leadership necklace, three different sets of interchangeable hands in various poses, and a freestanding backdrop depicting the scrolling line grid during his creation sequence in the animated movie.

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Megalvatron.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|This toy IS a time paradox.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In the [[Toy Fair 1986|1986 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair catalog]], Galvatron&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
* 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 &amp;quot;Reverse Megatron&amp;quot; design has a mild resemblance to the also-unproduced Galvatron [[Action Master]], especially in the chest design.&lt;br /&gt;
* 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&#039;s normal appearance and may possibly have been a &amp;quot;powered up&amp;quot; Galvatron of some sort.&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]&#039;&#039; Galvatron transforms into a Cybertronic treaded field artillery unit with an alternate hand-held gun mode.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Galvatron, like the other new characters created for &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;, was designed for animation first, and his toy was based on these early designs. However, as with the other characters, his animation model underwent further modifications before being finalized. This is particularly noticeable with Galvatron; his toy is in a largely gray color scheme, but his most prominent media appearances in the movie and animated series feature him decked out in a regal shade of purple. His outdated character model and colors would live on over in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel Comics]] continuity – including a particularly toyetic example in his [[:File:Target 2006 Prologue Galvatron, Scourge %26 Cyclonus.jpg|debut issue]] – as well as other ancillary media produced to advertise the toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: 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 &#039;&#039;[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]&#039;&#039; sub-line.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: 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 angry, sneering 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&#039;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]]: &amp;quot;Wa-ha-ha-ha, kono orokamono-me!&amp;quot; (Bwah ha ha ha! You fools!), &amp;quot;Eei, Cybertron o hineri-tsubuse!&amp;quot; (Hrr--crush the Autobots!), &amp;quot;Kono yaku-tatazu mono ga!&amp;quot; (You&#039;re all useless!), &amp;quot;Eei, hakai shite kureru wa!&amp;quot; (Grrah, I&#039;ll destroy you!), and &amp;quot;Destron gundan, transform!&amp;quot; (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. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version of the mold was later redecoed into the original toy&#039;s colors for the [[e-HOBBY]]-exclusive [[Galvatron II#Generation 1|Galvatron II]], with a new speech clip.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; 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#ActionMaster|Megatron]]&#039;s old [[Neutro-Fusion Tank]]. On the tank turret is the slogan &amp;quot;GALV-25&amp;quot;, in reference to the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; brand&#039;s 25th anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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&amp;amp;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 &amp;quot;walking tank.&amp;quot;] It is still possible to manipulate his parts into a mode greatly resembling the original concept design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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&#039;s wheels are molded in the same translucent orange as the cannon, and then painted over with &#039;&#039;a slightly different shade of orange&#039;&#039;. [[Hasbro]] lead designer [[Bill Rawley]] commented at [[BotCon 2010]] that these must have been paint-assignment errors. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hasbro&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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&#039;s fin.&lt;br /&gt;

Bizarrely enough, this redeco is frequently said to have even more stability problems than the original version.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]&#039;&#039; Galvatron is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Galvatron. As with all &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; releases, TakaraTomy have attempted to make the toy better resemble his cartoon counterpart, so most of the bright orange plastic from the &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; toy is now black. The shade of purple used on &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; Galvatron is the lighter, lavender shade commonly seen on Takara&#039;s Galvatron toys, rather than the deeper purple seen on Hasbro&#039;s Galvatron toys. The left arm now retains the &amp;quot;correct&amp;quot; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron features [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] plastic, though in Galvatron&#039;s case it is the most random and illogical usage of the gimmick yet in the &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; toyline. Galvatron&#039;s entire tank turret and the equipment on the vehicle side skirts are vacuum-metallized silver, making him one hell of a blingin&#039; 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 &amp;quot;anime-colored&amp;quot; G1 Galvatron reissue and on &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]&#039;&#039; [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Energon|Galvatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Noticeably, it&#039;s often reported that a lot of the stability issues present in his &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; counterpart have been fixed with his version, with his limbs being much less floppy and prone to falling off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Also of note, the box art on the back of the packaging shows the mythical third &amp;quot;turret&amp;quot; mode, but has no instructions on how to convert the toy into it. &lt;br /&gt;

He now has Decepticon [[insignia]]s on his robot chest and tank turret, for the first time in the history of the [[mold]]. It also has the distinction on being the only version of the mold to have a metallic purple turret, further increasing screen accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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 &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;more show-accurate&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; less like a real-world tank. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron was sold as part of a &amp;quot;Specialist: Decepticons&amp;quot; [[giftset]] alongside [[Astrotrain (G1)/toys#Generations|Astrotrain]] and [[Octane#Generations|Octane]]. This was a Hasbro Asian market release, with the packaging and paperwork entirely in English. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron is a Voyager-class mold as part of the &#039;&#039;[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]&#039;&#039; subline imprint, partially inspired by Guido Guidi&#039;s design from &#039;&#039;[[Spotlight: Galvatron]]&#039;&#039;. He transforms into his original cannon mode and also has a third mode as a space fighter. He includes a &amp;quot;[[Nucleon (TR)|Nucleon]]&amp;quot; [[Titan Master]] partner that can turn into the robot&#039;s head, or can pilot the vehicle modes. Like many of the weapons in the &#039;&#039;Titans Return&#039;&#039; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like all &#039;&#039;Titans Return&#039;&#039; Voyager-class figures, Galvatron has a spring-loaded pop-out adornment to &amp;quot;bulk up&amp;quot; his head to slightly more appropriate proportions. In his case, it&#039;s a &amp;quot;mask&amp;quot; of sorts that consists of his signature crown and chinstrap that swings out of his chest. Unfortunately, it doesn&#039;t sit flush against his face due to the mask&#039;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 &#039;&#039;Legends&#039;&#039; release however, features the same paint mask as the prototypes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: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.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/9/9a/20210826202636%21TitansReturnGalvatron3modes.jpg promotional images for this figure] 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]]. According to [[John Warden]], the mold included a [[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]] alternate head which was &amp;quot;an animated Galvatron&amp;quot;, and a toy-based silver version of the figure had been conceptualised, but neither of these possibilities were followed through on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20210508015032/https://www.allspark.com/2017/10/our-nycc-2017-interview-with-john-warden-design-manager/ NYCC 2017 John Warden interview]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]&#039;&#039; offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;, this Galvatron is another redeco of the 2008 &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class figure, meant to be in &amp;quot;[[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]]&amp;quot; colors but attempting so in a manner slightly different from previous versions. Notably, it features the return of the &amp;quot;mistaken&amp;quot; tank mode paint color on the left arm. It also uses the Decepticon insignia from the [[live-action film series]] instead of the &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; variety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron was available as part of a 2-pack with [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#PERORP|Rodimus Prime]] (a redeco of the &#039;&#039;[[#Titanium Series|Titanium Series]]&#039;&#039; figure), aptly named &amp;quot;Rise of Rodimus Prime&amp;quot;, which also contained a [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Platinum Edition|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory, a redeco of the Matrix originally included with &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]/[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10hasbro|Optimus Prime]] which Galvatron can loosely hold in his right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like several of the 2016 &#039;&#039;Platinum Edition&#039;&#039; sets, &amp;quot;Rise of Rodimus Prime&amp;quot; saw a very limited release: Basically, the two-pack was released in some of Hasbro&#039;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 &#039;&#039;Brazil&#039;&#039;, of all places, where it was also first officially revealed by Hasbro at ABRIN (the Brazilian Toy Fair) in April of 2016. &#039;&#039;That&#039;s it&#039;&#039;. The set never saw an official Hasbro-initiated release in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;

The original announcement showed a sculpt based on Galvatron&#039;s &#039;&#039;Titans Return&#039;&#039; design, in three colors, but the final released figurine was based on the G1 design, in a single color. Due to this toy&#039;s tiny size and the fact that it is completely painted, many of its details are indistinct. Also in comparison to the prototype seen in a hobby magazine, the space between the arms and torso is held by a thin plastic burr, mainly to prevent fragility.&lt;br /&gt;

:The sole new release in the third wave of  &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]&#039;&#039; Leader Class toys, Galvatron transforms from an extremely [[show-accuracy|accurate]] robot into a treaded, tripod &amp;quot;Galactic cannon&amp;quot; in 33 steps.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Pulse&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In first, by concealing the base of the cannon within the robot torso, the toy&#039;s transformation manages to depict the purple-upper body-to-grey-cannon trick as seen in the animation, a design goal since the 2008 &#039;&#039;[[#Universe (2008)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; toy. The rear &amp;quot;leg&amp;quot; of the cannon is on multiple hinges, allowing the toy to aim at different elevations. He features [[Tampograph|printed]] light purple &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; on his upper torso along with opaque orange &amp;quot;particle&amp;quot; effects at the base of his cannon barrel, and [[Paint operation|painted]] battle damage on his lower legs, similar to figures from the previous two &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron Trilogy&#039;&#039; toylines. As part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]/[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]], Galvatron has multiple [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]], though he is missing 3 mm posts on his body for [[Fire Blast effect]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron&#039;s particle beam cannon can be mounted onto multiple 5 mm ports, including his forearm or upper arm, or separated into two pieces for cannon mode. He also includes the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Galvatron|Matrix of Leadership]], modified from the one first included with &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]]. The changed molding allows it to mount onto an included chain via a 5mm post, which can rest around his neck or attach at the base of the cannon barrel in his alternate mode. Galvatron also includes two unpainted grey &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron Trilogy&#039;&#039; [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Unicron]]-[[scale]]d &#039;&#039;[[Revenge (G1)|Revenge]]&#039;&#039; ships that Galvatron can hold as blasters, combine into a larger gun, store on his back (at two-different heights), or attach parallel to the barrel in his cannon mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the treads on his arms can be securely locked into holes in the shoulders, doing this restricts arm articulation. His feet have flip-out heel extensions, though they&#039;re hardly needed since he&#039;s heavy enough to be sturdy in most poses. Tip: The ankle tilts are slightly restricted due to the engineering in his legs. Untabbing the purple clips below his knees should help get more tiltage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Earlier specimens of Galvatron have a [[misassembly]] in the robot shoulders:  the center joint is installed upside-down, causing the shoulders to sit lower than intended. The height issue can be somewhat corrected by using the reversible transformation joint to have the back of the shoulders face forward instead, but this results in flathead pins being left prominently exposed, while adding one more extra step on the transformation. The holes the pins are placed in are 5mm compatible, so you may be able to use the misassembly to your advantage. A [[Variant|running change]] later fully corrected the shoulder assembly; the condition of the shoulders is visible in [[Mint in sealed box|packaged specimens]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://twitter.com/ThatJohnD/status/1432147420486512646]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Much like most of the toyline, Galvatron comes with one of four possible holographic [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] cards for his wave, which reveals a [[Source:Golden Disk destinies|possible destiny]] of a key character. Specifically, [[Megatron (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy marketing material|Megatron]]&#039;s destiny for his wave is becoming Galvatron. &lt;br /&gt;

It includes sparkly plastic on the cannon barrel, a factory-applied classic Decepticon [[rubsign]], and an optional [[sticker]] sheet to mimic the details of the G1 toy. The instruction manual does not depict one of Galvatron&#039;s forehead stickers or any of those for his belt, and it also suggests applying his cannon-mode insignias in a way that would leave them upside down.

: Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]&#039;&#039; Leader Class toys, Galvatron is a [[package refresh]] of the previous &#039;&#039;Kingdom&#039;&#039; figure above in &#039;&#039;Legacy&#039;&#039; packaging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The figure is missing the battle damage from the &#039;&#039;Kingdom&#039;&#039; release (claimed by Hasbro to be due to &amp;quot;buyer feedback&amp;quot;), making him appear more cartoon-accurate as a result, and the paint on the cannon barrel has been removed as well.&lt;br /&gt;

With the push of a lever he &amp;quot;transformed&amp;quot; into a full tiny figure complete with legs, standing up on the watch band. The figure cannot be removed from the watch, but the arms do rotate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The cannon barrel can detach and is &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; easily lost.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Takara originally planned a North American release of the Galvatron watch toy in 1986 and photographs of it were shown in their 1986 US product catalog. For unknown reasons, its intended 1986 release in the US was cancelled.  It eventually came out as part of &#039;&#039;[[Generation 2]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Galvatron was one of three non-transforming &#039;&#039;[[Super High-Breed Model]]&#039;&#039; vinyl figurines created in 1987 by Takara. 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: While the mass-market release of the &#039;&#039;Super High-Breed Model&#039;&#039; 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: &amp;quot;standard&amp;quot; purple and a translucent orange &amp;quot;lava bath&amp;quot; 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.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Very rarely, specimens from the intended 1987 release will surface on the secondary market.  That version of Galvatron can be distinguished by the Decepticon [[insignia]] on its chest, and also by its cardboard box packaging instead of clear plastic.  &lt;br /&gt;

:Unfortunately, Galvatron and the rest of the &amp;quot;Generation One&amp;quot; series were casualties of the general discontinuation of First 4 Figures&#039; &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; output, which was attributed to a challenging market and a lack of retailer support.&lt;br /&gt;

As he comes with no accessories (his arm cannon is permanently affixed to his right arm), both of his hands are closed fists, a rarity at this point in the line.&lt;br /&gt;

And by &amp;quot;extensively,&amp;quot; we mean &#039;&#039;about 4 pounds of it&#039;&#039;.  This figure has fewer moving parts and action features than its assortment-partner [[Hot Rod (G1)/merchandise#Ultimetal|&#039;&#039;Ultimetal&#039;&#039; Rodimus Prime]] but reaches the same [[price point]] through far more metal mass.  The figure is sculpted to resemble his anime-styled [[Studio OX]] [[character model]], while also including a rifle based on the accessory from the original G1 toy.  The arm cannon lights up via [[LED]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In addition to the instruction manual, a separate card warns owners that they must manually pull Galvatron&#039;s hips down and away from his pelvis before posing him, or else his codpiece will scratch the paint off his upper legs.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The package blurb describing Galvatron is a very close paraphrase of his writeup from &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye#Issue .232|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye]]&#039;&#039;, right down to the opinions from other characters.  &lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the sixth wave of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers R.E.D.]]&#039;&#039; figures, Galvatron is a 6-inch tall non-transforming action figure based directly on his cartoon/movie appearance. He includes his Matrix of Leadership necklace, three different sets of interchangeable hands in various poses, and a freestanding backdrop depicting the scrolling line grid during his creation sequence in the animated movie. Bizarrely, the protruding purple kneepads of his boots are molded as part of his thighs, which is not how Galvatron&#039;s boots normally work.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Megalvatron.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|This toy IS a time paradox.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In the [[Toy Fair 1986|1986 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair catalog]], Galvatron&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
* 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 &amp;quot;Reverse Megatron&amp;quot; design has a mild resemblance to the also-unproduced Galvatron [[Action Master]], especially in the chest design.&lt;br /&gt;
* 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&#039;s normal appearance and may possibly have been a &amp;quot;powered up&amp;quot; Galvatron of some sort.&lt;br /&gt;

If there is a large, flying [[Autobot]] toy that&#039;s not an [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]], it&#039;s probably one of &#039;&#039;&#039;Jetfire&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Jetfireg1toy.jpg|upright=1.77|thumb|Don&#039;t expect Takara to reissue this toy any time soon.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Jetfire&#039;&#039;&#039; (Autobot Air Guardian, [[1985]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Photon Missile Launcher&amp;quot;, rifle mounting pod, &amp;quot;Turbo Thruster&amp;quot; booster pack, 2 leg guards (left &amp;amp; right), 2 arm guards, 2 fenders&lt;br /&gt;
{{toydesigner|[[Shōji Kawamori]] ([[Takatoku Toys]])|[[Mark Watts]] (packaging artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Released in the second year of the [[Hasbro]] &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]&#039;&#039; toyline, Jetfire is a [[redeco]] of the [[Takatoku Toys]] &#039;&#039;Macross&#039;&#039; VF-1S Super Valkyrie. Jetfire features three modes: robot, jet, and an &amp;quot;alternate transformation&amp;quot; (called the &amp;quot;Gerwalk&amp;quot; form in &#039;&#039;Macross&#039;&#039;, and the &amp;quot;Guardian&amp;quot; form in &#039;&#039;Robotech&#039;&#039;) that deploys his arms and legs in [[alternate mode|jet mode]]. Additionally, Jetfire comes with several red pieces of armor and a rocket booster backpack that can snap onto his arms, legs, and back in any mode. He has noticeably more articulation than the other &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; in the line at the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The shoulder assembly where the jet mode folds in half for [[robot mode]] is one of the more commonly broken parts in the early &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toy line. Additionally, the thin, rigid plastic used on the armor pieces puts their attachment clips at high risk of breaking off; anyone actually transforming a Jetfire in this day and age would be better off &#039;&#039;gently&#039;&#039; pulling the peg-and-socket-construction armor pieces apart and then reuniting them around his arms and legs without relying on the clips. And finally, the small black clip-piece that attaches Jetfire&#039;s rifle to his jet mode is possibly one of the most commonly missing accessories on secondhand Jetfires, if not secondhand Transformers all around. The fact that the instructions don&#039;t tell you what to do with it doesn&#039;t help. The piece is used to hold Jetfire&#039;s rifle via the clip attached to the arm, as well as under the jetmode as a belly gun. It is very difficult to find a complete Jetfire toy, let alone an undamaged one. The figure&#039;s white coloration is also heavily succeptible to [[photodegradation|yellowing]], even if properly stored.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Variant|Early specimens]] of Jetfire featured the &#039;&#039;Macross&#039;&#039; [[United Nations|U.N.]] Spacy logo on the wings; the very earliest had this painted on, while a mid-stage release used a [[sticker]]. These &amp;quot;Macross&amp;quot; Jetfires also have an extra black stripe across the jet canopy, and the robot head guns have more complex sculpting with thinner plastic at their bases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: For what should be &#039;&#039;screamingly obvious reasons&#039;&#039;, Jetfire was not released in the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] &#039;&#039;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]&#039;&#039; toyline.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Takara ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;TRF-16&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 armor-piercing missiles&lt;br /&gt;
{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Jetfire was released in the Hasbro &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; line as part of the second [[wave]] of [[Cyberjet]]s. He is a redeco of the Decepticon [[Hooligan (G2)#Toys|Hooligan]], transforming into a proposed swing-wing naval variant of the F-22 Raptor. He is armed with a pressure-launched missile fired from his right arm, which also forms a weapon in fighter mode. He can also store his extra missile on his forearm/jet undercarriage via simple friction-tabs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy was released in the Takara &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#Takara G-2 line|G-2]]&#039;&#039; line, missing the factory-applied stickers on his vertical stabilizers, but otherwise identical to the Hasbro toy. It also came with an [[:File:Jetfire-JG2decal.jpg|extra decal sheet]] featuring white tiger markings, extra &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; Autobot symbols, and &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; markings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: 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 &amp;quot;Mini-Jets&amp;quot;), 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&#039;s name. Thus, Hooligan was available in Jetfire&#039;s colors but still marketed as Hooligan 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. This would also explain why the &amp;quot;Jetfire&amp;quot; release of the figure has Decepticon [[Insignia|faction symbol]] stickers, despite being released as an Autobot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This sculpt was also used to make &#039;&#039;[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]&#039;&#039; [[R-Blade#Toys|R-Blade]], &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; [[Wind Sheer (Universe)#Toys|Wind Sheer]], and [[BotCon 2005]] [[Ricochet (Timelines)#Toys|Ricochet]]. R-Blade&#039;s expanded bio in the &#039;&#039;Robotmasters&#039;&#039; sourcebook specifically mentions Jetfire as the leader of the Autobot Cyberjets, even though no mention of this is made in Jetfire&#039;s &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; bio, in the U.S. &#039;&#039;or&#039;&#039; Japan.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Titanium Series]]&#039;&#039; Jetfire is based on [[Don Figueroa]]&#039;s design as seen in [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;The War Within&#039;&#039; miniseries, which in turn was based on Figueroa&#039;s [[Customizing|scratch-build custom]] Transformer, [http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/kitbashes/Don_Figueroa/Kitbash_Retrospective/?dgallery_show=./strikefire_2.jpg Strikefire]. He transforms into a Cybertronic fighter plane with armor add-ons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all &#039;&#039;Titanium Series&#039;&#039; figures, Jetfire&#039;s toy is constructed of both die-cast metal and molded plastic, and it comes with a plastic display stand featuring his name and his faction logo. In jet mode, landing gear can be deployed from underneath the fuselage and both legs. In robot mode, the two wing cannons can be removed to be held by the robot either separately or combined together into a single weapon.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]&#039;&#039; Jetfire&#039;s design is an amalgam of the original cartoon/comic model for Jetfire/Skyfire and the original toy. It not only features removable armor like the original toy, but the toy-inspired head can be removed like a helmet to reveal a cartoon/comic-inspired head. The Cybertronic swing-winged fighter jet mode is primarily based on the {{w|F-14 Tomcat}} (itself the inspiration for the &#039;&#039;Macross&#039;&#039; {{w|VF-1 Valkyrie}} design), but with various visual elements taken from Skyfire&#039;s [[character model]], most notably the squared-off nosecone. The toy&#039;s add-on booster packs have flip-out reveal cannons, and it also features arm-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:An unexpected level of detail can be found on the black non-firing rifle; when it is assembled, the halves of the gun&#039;s &amp;quot;sight&amp;quot; come together in a way that would be functional on a full-size weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The toy&#039;s design was first featured on the solicited cover to [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Stormbringer|Stormbringer]]&#039;&#039; #1. Contrary to popular belief, it was not designed by [[Don Figueroa]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A &amp;quot;ghost&amp;quot; [[redeco]] of this toy, with black plastic and silvery electric paint deco, was shown by [[Hasbro]] in a news broadcast about their attempts to cheer up a Rhode Island orphan. Sadly, this version was never released.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was [[retool]]ed to make the [[BotCon 2007]] version of [[Dreadwind (G1)#Timelines|Dreadwind]], and [[redeco]]ed to make the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; version of [[Tread Bolt#Universe (2008)|Tread Bolt]].&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]&#039;&#039; Skyfire is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Jetfire. The primary changes to his deco are mainly for better resemblance to Skyfire&#039;s Generation 1 cartoon model&#039;s appearance (in particular painting most of the canopy to make it appear smaller), rather than the Jetfire/&#039;&#039;Macross&#039;&#039; design. Of amusement is the fact the fighter&#039;s airbrake has been painted blue to be a faux secondary canopy. As with all &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; toys, he lacks the heat-sensitive rubsign seen on the &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; release, but instead has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts (his jetpack&#039;s exhaust nozzles).&lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the &#039;&#039;[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)#Gentei! Gentei!|Gentei! Gentei!]]&#039;&#039; subline of &#039;&#039;Henkei!&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;Dark Skyfire&amp;quot; is a [[TakaraTomy Mall|Toy Hobby Market]]-[[exclusive]] [[black redeco]] and [[retool]] of &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Jetfire. The primary changes to his deco are mainly for making him, uh, darker. Specifically, he&#039;s cast in glossy black and purple plastic, with painted purple details and new thin white stripes on his wings. The tips of his backpack cannons have been significantly remolded to make the barrels and stalks on which they are mounted a single, newly-jointed piece, with the result being that the cannons&#039; bodies stick out ever so slightly from their housing. This change is likely to make the barrels more durable under the constant spring-loaded strain of being hidden, as well as allow one to pivot and deploy the cannons without sliding back the panels that are keeping them hidden, due to the fact that deploying the cannons this way with the previous tooling often resulted in the (detachable) tips of the cannons to pop out and send them flying. As with all &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; toys, he lacks the heat-sensitive rubsign seen on the &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; release, but instead has some vacuum-metallized parts (his jetpack&#039;s exhaust nozzles).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The extent of Dark Skyfire&#039;s &#039;Dark&#039; originally varied from image to image: early pre-production mockup images showed a dark matte grey similar to e-Hobby [[Astrotrain (G1)/toys#Collector.27s_Edition|Astrotrain]], whilst later images appeared gloss black with high-contrast silver details, leading to speculation that this redeco is the previously unreleased &#039;ghost&#039; &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Jetfire. Some possible hints of this remain, such as the Hasbro &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039;-styled open cockpit instead of &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;s &#039;&#039;half-painted version, as well as some entirely new paint operations, such as the added stripes on the sides of the intakes just behind his shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Pre-orders for Dark Skyfire opened up on [[November 12]]th and closed on [[December 11]]th [[2009]], with the toys finally shipping in March of 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

: Exclusive to [[Cybertron Con 2013]], Jetfire features a similar deco to the regular &#039;&#039;Henkei!

:Part of the third wave of &#039;&#039;[[Bot Shots (toyline)|Bot Shots]]&#039;&#039;, Jetfire is a teeny little jet with a spring-loaded automatic transformation to robot mode triggered when his nosecone is pressed.

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]&#039;&#039; Jetfire&#039;s design is an amalgam of the original cartoon/comic model for Jetfire/Skyfire and the original toy. It features removable armor like the original toy, but the toy-inspired head can be removed like a mask to reveal a more proportioned cartoon/comic-inspired head. The jet mode is again based on a navalized {{w|F-22 Raptor}} with {{w|F-14 Tomcat}}-like variable geometry wings (The F-14 itself being the inspiration for the &#039;&#039;Macross&#039;&#039; {{w|VF-1 Valkyrie}} design), but with a faux cockpit reminiscent of his Skyfire&#039;s [[character model]] underneath the jet&#039;s fuselage, most notably the faux squared-off nosecone in his robot mode. The toy&#039;s add-on booster pack which can be rotated 360 degrees, arm and leg mounted cannons are [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] bright metallic red. Jetfire also carries a [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] spring-loaded &amp;quot;photon&amp;quot; missile launcher/rifle. All five weapons can combine into a larger weapon, and the removable face armor can be stowed by plugging into the rifle while both arm cannons can also be attached to the peg hole located on both sides of his Turbo Thruster pack. This toy first appeared as Jetfire&#039;s new body in the &amp;quot;[[Dawn of the Autobots]]&amp;quot; arc of &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:All versions of this mold have a design flaw in the strut that connects the pelvis to the chest. The very small, very thin plastic on either side of where the strut pins in between the legs has a tendency to eventually break, especially after repeated transformations. The primary cause appears to be when the friction pin starts to work its way into both the inner and outer pieces. Checking the clearance between the pieces and the position of the pin can help prevent untimely damage. Some units also have an &#039;&#039;insanely&#039;&#039; tight pin hole here, where it requires less force to &#039;&#039;ratchet the pieces apart&#039;&#039; than to rotate properly. Removing the pin and opening the hole on the inner piece of the joint can also lengthen the effective lifespan of the figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was also retooled into &#039;&#039;Generations [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Thundercracker]], [[Starscream (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Starscream]], and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Skywarp]].&lt;br /&gt;

Unlike the base mold, his wings can swing in and out like his original G1 figure. However, there are two pegs on each wing that are used to lock them in position (either full sweep or high-maneuverability), and a lack of clearance requires the wing assembly to be opened to move them in addition to unpegging them from the back of the arms.

&lt;br /&gt;
:The first of the large &amp;quot;Commander Class&amp;quot; toys, this iteration of Jetfire is based &#039;&#039;heavily&#039;&#039; on his 1984 [[Jetfire (G1)#Generation 1 cartoon continuity|cartoon]] and [[Jetfire (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|comic]] [[character model]], transforming into a Cybertronian superjet with a massive, brick-like top-mounted &amp;quot;Turbo Thruster Booster Pack&amp;quot;. He is one of the few toys in the &#039;&#039;Siege&#039;&#039; line &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; sporting battle damage paint applications, though he does have a very light &#039;reentry fade&#039; on his lower legs and nosecone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, the faction symbol on his chest can flip around to be either Autobot or Decepticon, a reference to the original &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]&#039;&#039; cartoon episode &amp;quot;[[Fire in the Sky]]&amp;quot; and to recreate his faction swap in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|&#039;&#039;Siege&#039;&#039;]] cartoon (alternately, you can pretend he&#039;s performing the [[Rite of the Autobrand]] as seen in the original Marvel comic). The [[5 mm post]]-hole rings in his hands are designed to recess into his palms when his fingers are extended forward so he looks less awkward in an open-handed pose. Adding the Skyshield Aerial Armor and Skyshield Battle Mask gives his robot mode a &#039;&#039;slightly&#039;&#039; more original-toy appearance. Some copies may have difficulty attaching his chest armor properly due to the small flip-out panels not lining up perfectly: pulling the chest panels open and then putting them back once the armor is attached can help, or it can be attached by a single panel instead of both. While Jetfire does have ankle tilts, there are small but fairly strong clips that lock them in, so a bit of force may be required to unlock them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In jet mode, along with deployable landing gear with rolling wheels, he features four pop-out handles on his underside that allow other &#039;&#039;Siege&#039;&#039; figures (or any toy or accessory with a 5 mm grip) to hang underneath him, letting him air-drop his comrades into battle. He can also carry up to three [[Titan Master#Toys|Titan Master]]s or [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]]s in jet mode: removing the filler computer core inside his cockpit (by folding down the nosecone) reveals space for one Master, while the back end of the Turbo Thruster Booster Pack lifts up to reveal space for two more Masters. Oddly, this feature is not shown in his instructions. The core also has a 5 mm hole in it so um... there&#039;s that. There is a 5 mm hexagonal port on his underside that appears to be for heavier-duty flight stands, since it is recessed too far to peg in any of his own weapons. Some transformation joints on his wings can also simulate working air flaps. During development, the jet was originally designed as a different &amp;quot;Cybetronian&amp;quot; jet akin to the rest of &#039;&#039;Siege&#039;&#039;, but Shogo Hasui pushed for it to more closely match his cartoon appearance instead, just like the robot mode.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Gen2020&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In either mode, his many many [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] weapons can be mounted on him in a variety of ways. His two &amp;quot;JF-25 HS Photon Missile Sky Launcher&amp;quot; rifles can be combined into a single double-barreled gun vaguely similar to the original animation model&#039;s double-barreled cannon. In this configuration, they form the core of a massive pile of weapons and armor that goes on top of his jet mode (as if he wasn&#039;t anti-aerodynamic &#039;&#039;enough&#039;&#039;). In &#039;&#039;another&#039;&#039; undocumented feature, his &amp;quot;JF-15 HP Jetboost Particle Beam Cannons&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;SF-M2 Radiograph Booster&amp;quot; double-cannons are two-part weapons that can be pulled apart for even more versatility. He also has a large number of 3 mm &amp;quot;blast effect&amp;quot; hardpoints all over his body and on the tips of his weapons. His two multi-part blast effects have 5 mm posts with 3 mm holes in the middle on each part, making them very versatile in simulating his jet thrusters or outgoing or incoming weapons fire. Jetfire was also intended to interact with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]] [[Six-Gun#War for Cybertron: Siege|Sixgun]] in jet mode, though this was, &#039;&#039;once again&#039;&#039;, never advertised.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://twitter.com/tf__tf/status/1205868925067513857 Siege Jetfire and Sixgun combination] from &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Generations 2020]]&#039;&#039; book&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For those curious, the computer core accessory appears to be a reference to the episode &amp;quot;[[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain]]&amp;quot;, where a close-up of &#039;&#039;Skyfire&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s cockpit interior is shown as he is being defrosted by [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzq3C4hkfNE&amp;amp;t=373 &amp;quot;Fire on the Mountain&amp;quot; episode timestamp 6:13] - on [[Hasbro Pulse]]&#039;s official YouTube channel.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, Jetfire is among one of a long list of figures to suffer from [[photodegradation]] in his [[unpaintable plastic]] parts, as a result of unknown causes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Bizarrely, many [[Walmart]] stores in the US put him on instant clearance, causing him to ring up at $40 rather than the actual $80 he&#039;s supposed to cost. This made some people very happy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure saw reissues in late-2022 and mid-2024 and was also redecoed into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]&#039;&#039; [[Jetfire (SG)#Shattered_Glass_Collection|Jetfire]]. &lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;Jetfire&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Skyfire&amp;quot; is an absolutely humongous figure, nearly 14 inches tall in [[robot mode]], about 2 inches taller than the &#039;&#039;Siege&#039;&#039; Commander-class toy above. Inspired by the Generation 1 cartoon in design, he transforms into a space jet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skyfire comes with a multitude of accessories. For vehicle mode, there is a display stand, and three small, articulated figurines (&amp;quot;Convoy&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Meister&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;Wheeljack&amp;quot;) that scale with the vehicle mode and can ride inside of it. Skyfire features several opening hatches for this purpose. As for robot mode, Skyfire comes with three robot faces, including one based on the original masked &#039;&#039;Macross&#039;&#039; design (no antennae though). He also has three interchangeable chest plates displaying an Autobot insignia, a Decepticon insignia, and one that is blank, to replicate the scene in &amp;quot;[[Fire in the Sky]]&amp;quot; where he removes his Decepticon badge and changes allegiances to the Autobots. Also inspired by that same episode, Skyfire&#039;s helmet opens up to reveal a brainwave monitor. Lastly, he has his iconic &amp;quot;Photon Missile Launcher&amp;quot;, which can be used in robot mode or clipped onto his vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:And yes, he is able to turn into a gerwalk mode. Awesome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Confirmed in an interview seen in the 278th issue of &#039;&#039;[[Figure Ō]]&#039;&#039; magazine, Skyfire was officially revealed on [[June 2]], [[2022]]. In [[Japan]] this figure was [[exclusive]] to [[TakaraTomy Mall]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:On many specimens, the large strong springs inside Skyfire&#039;s ankles shove too firmly against the pins holding his heel extensions in place, preventing the feet from opening fully flat and thus interfering with some standing poses. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:On [[July 22]], [[2013]], Harmony Gold, owner of the rights to the &#039;&#039;Robotech&#039;&#039; franchise and U.S. claimant to the &#039;&#039;Macross&#039;&#039; rights, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131014085251/http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/07/23/Transformers.pdf filed a copyright infringement suit against Hasbro]. In the filing, Harmony Gold argued that the release somehow infringed upon the intellectual property of the Veritech, but noted that &amp;quot;damages are difficult to ascertain&amp;quot;. They demanded that Hasbro recall all Jetfires that had been sold, that all Jetfires (including the recalled ones) be either destroyed or handed over to Harmony Gold, and that Hasbro turn over all profits relating to the sales; this was to happen in addition to payment for all actual damages to Harmony Gold (despite Harmony Gold itself not knowing how much the actual damages were) and all punitive assessments assigned against Hasbro.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Subsequently, an order was filed on September 23rd, 2013, to [http://generalsjoes.com/2013/10/10/hasbro-and-harmony-gold-reportedly-settle-lawsuit-over-sdcc-exclusive-jetfire/ dismiss the case with prejudice], implying that Harmony Gold and Hasbro have reached a settlement. Although confirmation of a settlement, much less details thereof, has not been revealed, the fact that the case was dismissed &#039;&#039;with prejudice&#039;&#039; means that Harmony Gold cannot sue over the Jetfire issue again. By early October the set was made available on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]], where it quickly sold out.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released in the second wave of [[Super7]]&#039;s line of multi-property 3.75-inch &amp;quot;retro&amp;quot; action figures, &#039;&#039;[[ReAction]]&#039;&#039; Skyfire is a non-converting 3 3/4-inch action figure based on his appearance in the original cartoon, with 5 points of articulation (swivel neck, shoulders, hips) and holes in his feet for use with some variety of stand. Unlike the first-wave figures, both of his hands are open and can grip his included cannon accessory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all releases in the &#039;&#039;ReAction&#039;&#039; toyline, Skyfire comes packaged on a small cardback that emulates the nostalgic packaging style of [[Kenner]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]&#039;&#039; action figures from the late 1970s to early &#039;80s.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:TakatokuSuperValkyrie.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|C&#039;mon, Hasbro. You &#039;&#039;&#039;know&#039;&#039;&#039; you want to make a &amp;quot;Skull Squadron&amp;quot; version of &#039;&#039;some&#039;&#039; [[Jetfire (disambiguation)|Jetfire]]. What&#039;s [[Bandai]] going to do?]]&lt;br /&gt;
*As mentioned above, unlike most of the early &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; range, the Jetfire toy was designed by [[Takatoku Toys]], being a [[redeco]] (with minor retools to blunt the nosecone and add two tabs to keep the wings from their forward-most position) of their 1/55 [https://web.archive.org/web/20180120173238/http://1501bc.com:80/pretf/macross.html &#039;&#039;Macross&#039;&#039; VF-1S Super Valkyrie]. Naturally, because he was not designed by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]], Jetfire was not released in Japan, since the toy (or, at least, a dozen variations of it) was released by one of Takara&#039;s rival toy companies.&lt;br /&gt;
*Jetfire&#039;s [[#Generation 2|&#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; colour scheme]] nearly inspired the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; multi-pack incarnation of the Mini-Con [[Terradive (Armada)#Notes|Terradive]], but this did not come to fruition.&lt;br /&gt;
*Harmony Gold released a modern toy of the VF-1S Super Valkyrie recolored into the original color scheme of Generation 1 Jetfire in 2023 under the cheeky name of &amp;quot;God of Flame&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/kitzconcept-jetfire-god-of-flame-standard-and-shattered-glass.1246636/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Is it deeply hypocritical that they would try - and fail - to frivolously slap suit Hasbro for their &#039;&#039;G.I. Joe&#039;&#039; Jetfire crossover and then use the very color scheme that Hasbro invented in one of their own toys in a pretty clear attempt to cut into their market? Absolutely. Is this surprising? No, because Harmony Gold [[Super Dimension Fortress Macross#Attempted interference by a terrible company|is an absolutely pathetic company that is universally despised by fans of the mecha genre]].&lt;br /&gt;

Remember, &amp;quot;robots talk slowly and enunciate each word&amp;quot;!

:Ultra Magnus was one of three characters released as digital watches in Japan by Takara in 1986 to promote the [[Scramble City (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Scramble City&#039;&#039; toyline]] (the others being [[Superion (G1)#Watchbot|Superion]] &amp;amp; [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Watchtron|Galvatron]]). Cross-promoted in [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (manga)|&#039;&#039;TV Magazine&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s manga]] as a [[wrist-communicator]], &amp;quot;Watchbot&amp;quot; (ウォッチボット) Ultra Magnus is a small representation of the character with a clock in his chest. With the push of a lever he &amp;quot;transformed&amp;quot; into a full tiny figure complete with legs, standing up on the watch band. The figure cannot be removed from the watch, but the arms do rotate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Takara originally planned a North American release of the Ultra Magnus watch toy in 1986 and photographs of it were shown in their 1986 US product catalog. For unknown reasons, its intended 1986 release in the US was cancelled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Ultra Magnus and the other watches were later re-released in 1993 as part of an expanded line of Transformers watches that was sold directly in North America by Takara as &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; merchandise.&lt;br /&gt;

:Like the Galvatron figure packaged with &#039;&#039;Transform Jr&#039;&#039; Ultra Magnus listed [[#Transform Jr|above]], Ultra Magnus was one of several characters released by Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of sets, in packaging similar to the &#039;&#039;Transform Jr&#039;&#039; line (though lacking the &amp;quot;Jr&amp;quot; part of the logo). Magnus came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular &amp;quot;Scramble Gun&amp;quot;), an Autobot badge, and four peach-colored [[Decoy]] figures. He took the place of a figure of Optimus Prime, who had been included in the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Vinyl figurine|&amp;quot;Part.1&amp;quot;]] version of the set. {{-}}[[File:Ultra Magnus Vinyl Dart Set.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1|200pts for hitting Magnus]]&lt;br /&gt;

:A model kit of Ultra Magnus was among the many released by [[Kabaya]] as part of their &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Gum]]&#039;&#039; line of [[candy toy]]s. Released as part of the line&#039;s third wave, Magnus is molded in red, white and blue plastic, lacking in paint applications but featuring stickers for detail. As a downsized model, he lost some of the features of his larger toy: His cab no longer transforms into a small robot, simply converting into the transitional form necessary to combine with the trailer, though it does still feature a flip-out small robot head for Magnus&#039;s large head to attach to. As the name suggests, he also came with a stick of gum.&lt;br /&gt;

:A new, smaller version of Ultra Magnus was released as part of the revived &#039;&#039;Transformers Gum&#039;&#039; line in 2010, debuting as part of the second wave of figures. A wholly new sculpt (based on the Titanium figure), the new kit is made mostly of dark blue plastic, with a little bit of white and black, and a positively &#039;&#039;ungodly&#039;&#039; amount of stickers to add color and detail; for instance, Magnus&#039;s (non-transforming) cab is completely covered all around in white stickers to cover the fact it&#039;s made of blue plastic!&lt;br /&gt;

: Collegeville also immortalized Magnus in their line of &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; masks. Made from flat styrofoam, the mask featured a hinge that allowed the wearer to lift it up and down, transforming from kid to robot in the blink of an eye!&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;quot;clearness&amp;quot; of the clear-plastic version can vary, from clean clear nigh-colorless to a somewhat yellowed tint that appears to have nothing to do with [[photodegradation]].&lt;br /&gt;

: This redeco of the original &#039;&#039;Super Collection Figure&#039;&#039; Magnus figurine was available in the fourth wave of the &#039;&#039;SCF&#039;&#039; line, rendered in a color scheme based on the original [[Diaclone]] &amp;quot;Powered Convoy&amp;quot; figure, as seen in the famous [[The Transformers: The Movie promo|early trailer]] for &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;. The figure was available in both full color and metallic silver &amp;quot;pewter&amp;quot; versions, again one each per case of twelve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In eight out of ten cases of the Act, the pewter version of Magnus came packed with the head and guns of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] &amp;quot;build-a-figure&amp;quot;. These parts were also available in either full-color or clear-plastic, at an equal ratio of 4:4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage at the shoulders, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ultra Magnus&#039;&#039;&#039; (Heroes of Cybertron, 2003/2006)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Ultra Magnus&#039;s original &#039;&#039;Super Collection Figure&#039;&#039; PVC was later released by Hasbro as part of the third wave of their &#039;&#039;[[Heroes of Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; line. Like all the figures in the series, Magnus was given a [[light-piping]] gimmick by being cast entirely in translucent blue plastic then painted everywhere (using a considerably darker shade for the red parts) except on his eyes and the back of his head. Unlike the Japanese version, he was sold on a clearly-marked blister card.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Magnus was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived &#039;&#039;Heroes of Cybertron&#039;&#039; revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;. This version of Magnus was cast in solid blue plastic rather than translucent plastic. This makes him &#039;&#039;almost&#039;&#039; identical to the &#039;&#039;SCF&#039;&#039; version above, with the only (barely) noticeable differences being that &#039;&#039;Heroes&#039;&#039; Magnus&#039;s eyes are painted darker-than-the-plastic blue and his chestplate is unpainted blue plastic, unlike the &#039;&#039;SCF&#039;&#039; version&#039;s unpainted-blue-plastic eyes and painted-blue chestplate. This version also paints the blue parts on his back the same darker-than-the-plastic blue as the eyes, for whatever reason.&lt;br /&gt;

Sculpted from polystone and limited to 500 pieces, the statue is based on the artwork of [[Pat Lee]]. It was initially sold by Palisades exclusively at [[OTFCC 2003]], with any remaining units that did not sell at the convention later made available on the company&#039;s website.&lt;br /&gt;

Artist submissions would be narrowed down to a top ten by the TFW2005 staff, before being narrowed down to a top five by forum voting, and finally a simple poll on the F4F homepage, with the winning design being turned into a real figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The winning design, depicting an unhappy Ultra Magnus after an amusingly unfortunate attempt at opening the Matrix of Leadership, was created by fan Xu Wei (aka Ironbird), and was limited to 500 pieces in the U.S., and 500 pieces in Europe. An even more limited version of 100 pieces, decoed in the colours of the &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; toy [[Delta Magnus|Powered Convoy]], was available exclusively at the F4F online store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;[[Revoltech]]&#039;&#039; Ultra Magnus is, unsurprisingly, a redeco of a simultaneously released Optimus Prime/Convoy figure. A non-transforming but &#039;&#039;highly&#039;&#039; articulated action figure, &#039;&#039;Revoltech&#039;&#039; Magnus uses the Revoltech &amp;quot;revolver joints&amp;quot; for maximum poseability. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat &amp;quot;serfdom&amp;quot; Lee]]&#039;s interpretation of Prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Magnus comes with a photon rifle accessory, as well as a few alternate hands, but understandably lacks the Matrix of Leadership accessory that came with Prime. In its place is a unique extra &amp;quot;hand&amp;quot;, a single molded piece of Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime&#039;s hands clasped together diagonally, so that when attached to both Prime and Magnus&#039;s respective wrists, it allows one to create a scene of the two Autobot leaders shakin&#039; like homies. Additionally, although Magnus comes pre-assembled with the standard black revolver joints that Prime has, his packaging includes a sheet of replacement white joints one can use to customize Magnus with less obtrusive matching white joints (although not enough joints of the right style are included to swap out all black joints to optimal effect).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Revoltech&#039;&#039; Ultra Magnus is released as a &#039;&#039;Friend Shop&#039;&#039; exclusive.&lt;br /&gt;

He comes with a suite of hands in pairs: closed fists, splayed-out relaxed hands, and three different pairs meant to specifically hold each one of the aforementioned accessories.

:Released in the third wave of the &#039;&#039;Galaxy Version&#039;&#039; line of blind boxes, &#039;&#039;[[Blokees]]&#039;&#039; Ultra Magnus is a roughly 4-inches tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Autobot Commander, redecoed from parts of the first wave&#039;s Optimus Prime to represent his unarmored appearance in the &#039;&#039;Dreamwave&#039;&#039; comics. He is built on a &amp;quot;Standard Body&amp;quot; skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Magnus has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes, or three times across four cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite what the instructions depict regarding the retooled secure joint, Magnus still utilizes the circular hinge connection for his head and faceplate construction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Magnus comes with a pair of closed and open hands, his Ion Blaster, and a hilted Energon axe. The barrel of the Ion Blaster is compatible with the blast effects included with other &#039;&#039;Galaxy Version&#039;&#039; kits. He also has a stand with four studs on top, which he can be plugged into and connected to similar stands. Magnus can accommodate the jetpack included in Sideswipe, released on the &amp;quot;Shining Version&amp;quot; lineup, if one chooses.&lt;br /&gt;

:Sculpted in the likeness of Ultra Magnus but unnamed on its blister card packaging, this &amp;quot;Electronic Voice Synthesizer&amp;quot; produced by Nasta ran on a 9-volt battery and allowed children to &amp;quot;talk like a robot&amp;quot; by mouthing words into the plastic straw attached to its back and holding down the button on its side. Remember, &amp;quot;robots talk slowly and enunciate each word&amp;quot;! Since it was able to create synthesized speech from mouth movements without sound, the toy was used as an inexpensive replacement for electrolarynx devices.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://articles.latimes.com/1987-03-16/business/fi-6286_1_toy &#039;Toy&#039; Gives a Voice to the Voiceless]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://gtalumni.org/Publications/techtopics/spr92/robot.html Ramblin&#039; Robot has a Sense for Trouble]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://gtalumni.org/Publications/magazine/fall90/bloomfie.html Bloomfield&#039;s Robot]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Synthesized Voice by David J.

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Matsuda]] (TakaraTomy)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Ultra Magnus was one of three characters released as digital watches in Japan by Takara in 1986 to promote the [[Scramble City (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Scramble City&#039;&#039; toyline]] (the others being [[Superion (G1)#Watchbot|Superion]] &amp;amp; [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Watchtron|Galvatron]]). Cross-promoted in [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (manga)|&#039;&#039;TV Magazine&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s manga]] as a [[wrist-communicator]], &amp;quot;Watchbot&amp;quot; (ウォッチボット) Ultra Magnus is a small representation of the character with a clock in his chest. With the push of a lever he &amp;quot;transformed&amp;quot; into a full tiny figure complete with legs, standing up on the watch band. The figure cannot be removed from the watch, but the arms do rotate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Takara originally planned a North American release of the Ultra Magnus watch toy in 1986 and photographs of it were shown in their 1986 US product catalog. For unknown reasons, its intended 1986 release in the US was cancelled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Ultra Magnus and the other watches were later re-released in 1993 as part of an expanded line of Transformers watches that was sold directly in North America by Takara as &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; merchandise.&lt;br /&gt;

:Like the Galvatron figure packaged with &#039;&#039;Transform Jr&#039;&#039; Ultra Magnus listed [[#Transform Jr|above]], Ultra Magnus was one of several characters released by Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of sets, in packaging similar to the &#039;&#039;Transform Jr&#039;&#039; line (though lacking the &amp;quot;Jr&amp;quot; part of the logo). Magnus came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular &amp;quot;Scramble Gun&amp;quot;), an Autobot badge, and four peach-colored [[Decoy]] figures. He took the place of a figure of Optimus Prime, who had been included in the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Vinyl figurine|&amp;quot;Part.1&amp;quot;]] version of the set. {{-}}[[File:Ultra Magnus Vinyl Dart Set.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1|200pts for hitting Magnus]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:A model kit of Ultra Magnus was among the many released by [[Kabaya]] as part of their &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Gum]]&#039;&#039; line of [[candy toy]]s. Released as part of the line&#039;s third wave, Magnus is molded in red, white and blue plastic, lacking in paint applications but featuring stickers for detail. As a downsized model, he lost some of the features of his larger toy: His cab no longer transforms into a small robot, simply converting into the transitional form necessary to combine with the trailer, though it does still feature a flip-out small robot head for Magnus&#039;s large head to attach to. As the name suggests, he also came with a stick of gum.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:A new, smaller version of Ultra Magnus was released as part of the revived &#039;&#039;Transformers Gum&#039;&#039; line in 2010, debuting as part of the second wave of figures. A wholly new sculpt (based on the Titanium figure), the new kit is made mostly of dark blue plastic, with a little bit of white and black, and a positively &#039;&#039;ungodly&#039;&#039; amount of stickers to add color and detail; for instance, Magnus&#039;s (non-transforming) cab is completely covered all around in white stickers to cover the fact it&#039;s made of blue plastic!&lt;br /&gt;

: Released by [[Warren (company)|Warren]], this piece of Ultra Magnus merchandise was a jigsaw puzzle in disguise! The 100-piece puzzle, titled &amp;quot;Ultra Magnus frees Bumblebee from the Decepticon Ice Cave!&amp;quot;, forms a 20&amp;quot; by 26 1/2&amp;quot; scene that depicted Ultra Magnus trying to rescue a frozen [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] (though identified as [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]) from [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]], [[Scavenger (G1)|Scavenger]], [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]], [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]], and [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel ]]. The puzzle can then be broken down, and 17 of the puzzle pieces could be assembled into a three-dimensional model of Ultra Magnus standing 10&amp;quot; tall in [[robot mode]]. It can also be reassembled into his car carrier [[alternate mode|truck mode]], albeit with a red Optimus Prime]]-style cab instead of his own traditional white.&lt;br /&gt;

:Ultra Magnus was one of a small number of characters that [[Collegeville Costumes]] turned into a Halloween costume. This two-piece outfit adhered to the crappy, time-worn tradition of consisting of a sculpted, thin plastic mask held over the wearer&#039;s face with elastic, and a smock with a picture of Ultra Magnus and his name on it.&lt;br /&gt;

The figure was available in both full color and metallic silver &amp;quot;pewter&amp;quot; versions, again one each per case of twelve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In eight out of ten cases of the Act, the pewter version of Magnus came packed with the head and guns of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] &amp;quot;build-a-figure&amp;quot;. These parts were also available in either full-color or clear-plastic, at an equal ratio of 4:4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage at the shoulders, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ultra Magnus&#039;&#039;&#039; (Heroes of Cybertron, 2003/2006)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Ultra Magnus&#039;s original &#039;&#039;Super Collection Figure&#039;&#039; PVC was later released by Hasbro as part of the third wave of their &#039;&#039;[[Heroes of Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; line. Like all the figures in the series, Magnus was given a [[light-piping]] gimmick by being cast entirely in translucent blue plastic then painted everywhere (using a considerably darker shade for the red parts) except on his eyes and the back of his head. Unlike the Japanese version, he was sold on a clearly-marked blister card.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Magnus was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived &#039;&#039;Heroes of Cybertron&#039;&#039; revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;. This version of Magnus was cast in solid blue plastic rather than translucent plastic. This makes him &#039;&#039;almost&#039;&#039; identical to the &#039;&#039;SCF&#039;&#039; version above, with the only (barely) noticeable differences being that &#039;&#039;Heroes&#039;&#039; Magnus&#039;s eyes are painted darker-than-the-plastic blue and his chestplate is unpainted blue plastic, unlike the &#039;&#039;SCF&#039;&#039; version&#039;s unpainted-blue-plastic eyes and painted-blue chestplate. This version also paints the blue parts on his back the same darker-than-the-plastic blue as the eyes, for whatever reason.&lt;br /&gt;

Sculpted from polystone and limited to 500 pieces, the statue is based on the artwork of [[Pat Lee]]. It was initially sold by Palisades exclusively at [[OTFCC 2003]], with any remaining units that did not sell at the convention later made available on the company&#039;s website.&lt;br /&gt;

:In September 2005, model company [[First 4 Figures]] partnered with fan site [http://www.tfw2005.com TFW2005.com] to run a contest to create an original &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; statue in the [[super deformed]] style.  Artist submissions would be narrowed down to a top ten by the TFW2005 staff, before being narrowed down to a top five by forum voting, and finally a simple poll on the F4F homepage, with the winning design being turned into a real figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The winning design, depicting an unhappy Ultra Magnus after an amusingly unfortunate attempt at opening the Matrix of Leadership, was created by fan Xu Wei (aka Ironbird), and was limited to 500 pieces in the U.S., and 500 pieces in Europe. An even more limited version of 100 pieces, decoed in the colours of the &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; toy [[Delta Magnus|Powered Convoy]], was available exclusively at the F4F online store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;[[Revoltech]]&#039;&#039; Ultra Magnus is, unsurprisingly, a redeco of a simultaneously released Optimus Prime/Convoy figure. A non-transforming but &#039;&#039;highly&#039;&#039; articulated action figure, &#039;&#039;Revoltech&#039;&#039; Magnus uses the Revoltech &amp;quot;revolver joints&amp;quot; for maximum poseability. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat &amp;quot;serfdom&amp;quot; Lee]]&#039;s interpretation of Prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Magnus comes with a photon rifle accessory, as well as a few alternate hands, but understandably lacks the Matrix of Leadership accessory that came with Prime. In its place is a unique extra &amp;quot;hand&amp;quot;, a single molded piece of Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime&#039;s hands clasped together diagonally, so that when attached to both Prime and Magnus&#039;s respective wrists, it allows one to create a scene of the two Autobot leaders shakin&#039; like homies. Additionally, although Magnus comes pre-assembled with the standard black revolver joints that Prime has, his packaging includes a sheet of replacement white joints one can use to customize Magnus with less obtrusive matching white joints (although not enough joints of the right style are included to swap out all black joints to optimal effect).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{disambig3.5|the heroic Decepticon Micromaster|his evil counterpart|Whisper (G1)|Whisper}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Whisper is a heroic [[Decepticon]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SGWhisper Bio.jpg|right|thumb|250px|HELLO THERE!!! MY NAME IS WHISPER!!!]]&lt;br /&gt;
If you hear roaring engines and a bellowing voice, but find no [[Decepticon]] fleet or looming [[combiner]] in sight, there&#039;s a good chance you&#039;ll look down and see little &#039;&#039;&#039;Whisper&#039;&#039;&#039; instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A tiny [[Micromaster]] with a big and loud personality, the ironically named Whisper and his brothers [[Nightflight (SG)|Nightflight]], [[Storm Cloud (SG)|Storm Cloud]], and [[Tailwind (SG)|Tailwind]] are the newest generation of Decepticons. Built after the war started, using advanced engineering to produce smaller, more efficient bodies, the four have never known a [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] at peace. The optimistic and energetic Whisper sees this as a way to improve himself, however, rather than as something to lament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That irrepressible personality was what led [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]] to partner him with the dour [[Sideswipe (SG)|Sideswipe]]. Though Sideswipe was put off at first, Whisper eventually lifted his spirits. The two are now a tight-knit and loyal team, able to combine to grant Sideswipe more power, flight, and enhanced weapon capabilities. Showing how close they&#039;ve become, Sideswipe has even nicknamed Whisper, calling him his &amp;quot;[[Mini-Con]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|&amp;quot;Okay, students...what have we learned [from Whisper]?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Fools rush in.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Sometimes you have to be loud to go unnoticed.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Both good answers.

===Fun Publications &#039;&#039;Shattered Glass&#039;&#039; continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SGWhisperAltmode ShatteredGlass.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
Led by [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]] and [[Divebomb (SG)|Divebomb]], Whisper assisted in the bombing run on [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Ark (SG)|Ark]]&#039;&#039;, focusing on the launching pad. This made [[Jazz (SG)|Jazz]] very upset. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Megatron was kidnapped and held by [[Ricochet (SG)|Ricochet]] in the [[Temple of Knowledge]] as a gambit to delay the &#039;&#039;[[Nemesis (SG)|Nemesis]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s pursuit of the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039;, Whisper and the [[Predacon (SG)|Predacon]]s were sent out by Starscream and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] on a rescue mission while the others continued launch preparations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they reached the Temple, [[Razorclaw (SG)|Razorclaw]] attempted to conduct a lesson while surveying the situation. Whisper was off in his own thoughts, however, until Divebomb spotted a vent and wondered how they could get in without being seen. Whisper then came to attention and told them to watch as he transformed and took to the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He flew behind the Temple, out of sight, then created the aural illusion of dozens of Decepticon jets flying over. This caused the Temple&#039;s defenses to spring to life and shoot at the sky, letting the Predacons slip through with only minimal retaliation. Then, as the Predacons stared at the sky, wondering when he would come down, Whisper surprised them by suddenly showing up behind them, then gave them a wave as he dove headlong into the vent and took off out of sight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As he worked his way through the Temple, Whisper made enough noise that he attracted the attention of [[Scoop (SG)|Scoop]], who had been sent to scout for the intruders. Though Whisper was hiding in the dark, his clanging allowed Scoop to fire off a shot in his direction that punched holes in one of Whisper&#039;s wings. Suddenly stuck with no means of flight, and knowing he was no match in battle for the [[Autobot]], Whisper decided to think his way out...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He proceeded to start projecting his voice to impersonate the &amp;quot;ghost of [[Boltax (SG)|Boltax]]&amp;quot; threatening to take vengeance on the Autobots. It was a rather &#039;&#039;bad&#039;&#039; impersonation, but still enough to spook the perpetually skittish Scoop—until Whisper was surprised by [[Holepunch (SG)|Scoop&#039;s gun]] pep-talking Scoop to not be fooled by the charade, then transforming and tracking down Whisper&#039;s position. Whisper tried to fight back with a sonic blast, but he was chased out of cover into the open. He then found himself on the wrong end of a rampage of weapons fire from a now-annoyed Scoop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fortunately, Whisper came up with another plan. He projected his voice to convince Scoop to shoot in various specific directions, resulting in the ceiling finally giving way and burying Scoop and his talking gun. Giggling madly at the result, Whisper made his way further into the Temple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He eventually reached the spot where Megatron was being held, though he was disappointed to learn it was after Megatron and the Predacons had already emerged victorious against the Autobots. {{storylink|Do Over}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Months later, Whisper was dispatched to answer a Decepticon distress signal. As he arrived at its source, he startled [[Heatwave (Timelines)|Heatwave]]—who had been expecting an entire fleet from the sound of Whisper&#039;s engines—and thought it was &amp;quot;sparkin&#039; awesome&amp;quot; to find out that the engineer was still alive. After Heatwave explained he had gotten sent back in a [[Space bridge#Shattered Glass|stellar spanner]] accident and everyone else was still back on [[Earth]], Whisper led Heatwave to return to base and report to Megatron. {{storylink|Blitzwing Bop}}&lt;br /&gt;

Visper led the [[Air Strike Patrol (SG)|Air Strike Patrol]] to investigate the Autobots&#039; operation inside [[Metroplex (SG)|Metroplex]]. It went disastrously, and Visper was killed by [[Wheeljack (SG)|Slicer]] at nearly point-blank range.{{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 3|Shattered Glass II #3}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Non-poseable, non-transforming figurines of Bumblebee and three of his Mini-Vehicle chums (Cliffjumper, [[Gears (G1)|Gears]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys|Brawn]]) comprised the very first line of Transformers [[List of Transformers restaurant promotions|Happy Meal toys]], but alas, the figures did not see a full release, and were only test-marketed in St. Louis, Missouri. The two-tone figures were available in a variety of colour variations, with at least six different combinations for each of the four characters: Bumblebee is known to have been available in blue and red, red and black, green and black, blue and black, black and yellow, and black and red... yet not his traditional yellow and black!&lt;br /&gt;

:A soft rubber figurine—known in Japan as a &#039;&#039;keshigomu&#039;&#039;— of Bumblebee was released as part of the first wave of [[Kabaya]]&#039;s earliest [[candy toy]] line, &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]&#039;&#039;.

:Bumblebee was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;keshigomu&#039;&#039; figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Bumblebee was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Bumblebee was available as part of a nine-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Dinosauruer Strategy Game and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.&lt;br /&gt;

:The Bumblebee figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple &amp;quot;checklist&amp;quot; number (26, in Bumblebee&#039;s case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].&lt;br /&gt;

:The Bumblebee and Spike figurines were later sold in the fourth wave of [[Hasbro]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Heroes of Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; line, but since Hasbro didn&#039;t have the [[trademark]] on Bumblebee&#039;s name at the time, the set was simply collectively named the &amp;quot;Autobot Espionage Team&amp;quot;. This version of the duo was cast in clear-blue plastic then painted over, with Bumblebee&#039;s eyes and the back of his head unpainted to attempt a [[light-piping]] gimmick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The pair were sold on a blister card, packaged with a character card and the right leg of the wave&#039;s collectible [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] &amp;quot;build-a-figure&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

: Released in the first wave of [[Super7]]&#039;s line of multi-property 3.75-inch action figures, &#039;&#039;[[ReAction]]&#039;&#039; Bumblebee is a non-converting &amp;quot;retro-style&amp;quot; action figure with 5 points of articulation, based on his appearance in the original cartoon. He comes with a small blaster which can only be held in his right hand. He has holes on the bottom of his feet for mounting him on some manner of figure stand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As with all releases in the &#039;&#039;ReAction&#039;&#039; toyline, Bumblebee comes packaged in a small cardback that emulates the nostalgic packaging style of [[Kenner]] &#039;&#039;[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]&#039;&#039; action figures of the late 1970s and early &#039;80s, the figure format the entire line is based around.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Egg holder/obstacle piece&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:D&#039;elicce once again released a &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;-themed Easter egg exclusive to Lojas Americanas in 2022. The included toy is now an evergreen Bumblebee car with the robot mode head sticking out of the roof, creating the illusion that Bumblebee is driving himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The car is made of pure yellow plastic (except for the wheels which are black) and is completely hollow underneath due to the egg being stored inside of it in-packaging. It does come with a curved piece made of black plastic attached to its underside that helps to keep the egg in place, but it&#039;s not supposed to stay attached after removing the egg since it prevents the car from touching the ground with its own wheels. The piece can be loosely stuck inside the car for improvised storage, but it&#039;s clearly not designed to attach in any other way. Instead, the piece itself features a phrase (written in Portuguese) embossed on its inner side suggesting that it should be used as an &amp;quot;obstacle&amp;quot; for the car to play with. Hey, at least they tried to get creative with it. Meanwhile, an Autobot logo is embossed on the outer side of the piece.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The toy features no paint applications and instead comes with a sticker sheet with 16 stickers—including the car&#039;s front grille, headlights, windows and decorative stripes—and instructions on where to apply them. Attention must be paid while applying the stickers, however, as the instructions incorrectly show the headlights and the rear side windows being applied to the opposite side to the one they were actually intended. The transparent plastic used as packaging tries (and fails) to give the impression that the windows come pre-applied, but in reality only the robot&#039;s face actually comes as a pre-applied sticker.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Super Cyborg&#039;&#039; Bumblebee is an 11-inch-tall non-transforming vinyl figure produced by [[Super7]].  Its most significant feature is the ability to remove the entire front of the torso to reveal sculpted inner mechanical detailing.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Bumblebee&#039;s chest plate can be removed to reveal details meant to represent his &amp;quot;inner workings&amp;quot;.  He comes with two sets of hands: one pair of closed fists, and one pair of open hands for holding weaponry and accessories.  Speaking of which, he also includes a small blaster accessory (though his product description claims he has two), along with a pair of fire blast effects to simulate weapons discharge.  He also comes with an Energon cube.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all &#039;&#039;R.E.D.&#039;&#039; toys, Bumblebee was a Walmart exclusive in Canada and the United States, and was later made available on [[Hasbro Pulse]] in limited quantities.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Attactix los.gif|right|upright=1.95|thumb|Optimus Prime likes to hide behind words.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of [[Hasbro]]&#039;s gaming properties. Players select an &amp;quot;army&amp;quot; of figures, then try to use the figures&#039; special abilities (firing missiles, spring-loaded strike attacks, and the like) to knock down the opposing force. The games rules are set as such that the game can be played very simply and quickly between two players, or more involved battles with multiple players and more rules and turnarounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initially, the &#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039; line consisted solely of &#039;&#039;[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]&#039;&#039; characters, the first wave being released in 2005 to coincide with &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Sith&#039;&#039;; however, Hasbro has since introduced &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; characters to the mix -using a combination of characters from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] and [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] series, even dipping into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]&#039;&#039;, the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie]] (nearly) and a few unique creations, plus recently added heroes and villains from [[Marvel Comics]]. Most strikingly, the Attacktix line featured an &amp;quot;Intergalactic Showdown&amp;quot; crossover pack, pitting &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; characters AGAINST &#039;&#039;Star Wars&#039;&#039; characters for utter supremacy of the Male Action market. [[Marvel Comics]] characters received their own assortments thereafter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AttacktixBoosters.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|HA HA FETT.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the pieces are available in randomized, blind-packed Booster sets. Originally these came three to a pack, but with the addition of &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;, the sets were reduced to cheaper two-packs. The Booster-pack figures are (somewhat misleadingly) rated &amp;quot;Rare&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Super Rare&amp;quot;: each pack contains one of each, but there are twice as many &amp;quot;Super Rare&amp;quot; pieces in an assortment as there are &amp;quot;Rares&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;All&#039;&#039; of the Attacktix characters are compatible and you can use multiples of any one; you can have a team consisting of [[Yoda]], [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]] and [[Spider-Man]] if you wish, or nothing but multiple [[Decepticlone]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Wicked&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The entire line was put on &amp;quot;indefinite hiatus&amp;quot; in early 2007, with a great many planned and revealed pieces intended for Series 2 placed in limbo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Gameplay Basics==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AttacktixDemo.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|Tabletop gaming condensed down to simply knocking things over. Awesome.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The most basic setup of the game involves two players picking an equal number of pieces and placing them on a smooth surface about three feet apart. Players then move as many pieces as they wish as many &amp;quot;tix&amp;quot; as shown on their piece by &amp;quot;rolling&amp;quot; them. At any time during movement, the player can attack with a set number of their pieces; the last player to have any pieces standing wins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most pieces fall under two attack categories: Missiles or Melee. (There are a few special cases, but so far, all &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; pieces are combat-only.) Missile-launching pieces can attack from a distance (the spring mechanisms in Attacktix pieces are very strong), but typically cannot move as many &amp;quot;tix&amp;quot; per turn. Melee pieces need to get up-close for their swipes, stabs, and lifting actions to be effective, so to counter that they typically can move a greater number of &amp;quot;tix&amp;quot; per turn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More advanced methods of play are set up using &#039;&#039;&#039;Point Values&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Special Powers&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Point Values===&lt;br /&gt;
Every piece is rated a certain number of points. Typically, the higher the point value, the more effective the piece is in battle (more &amp;quot;tix&amp;quot; per turn, more effective attacks/special powers, wider bases to make knocking them down more difficult, etc.). While most pieces range from 10 to 40 points, the large and very powerful &amp;quot;Battle Master&amp;quot; pieces can be worth up to 80. Players may set a maximum total point value to even the playing field, adjusting strategy to match: use a large force of weaker troops to wear down the other team with multiple attacks, or only a few very strong ones in the hopes of overpowering the opponent quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Special Powers===&lt;br /&gt;
On the bottom of every piece&#039;s base is a Special Power that goes into effect when the piece is knocked over, &#039;&#039;if&#039;&#039; the &amp;quot;Attacktix Window&amp;quot; on the bottom shows white. These vary wildly, from giving you retaliatory moves and/or attacks, replacing the fallen figure with another piece of a specified Class, Allegiance or even a specific character, and such. It is a good idea to assemble a team whose Special Powers complement each other; while this typically means sticking with a &amp;quot;theme&amp;quot; (Imperials, Autobots), this is not always the case, thanks to the Class markings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Transformers Attacktix pieces==&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|More detail on each pieces&#039; Special Powers are given on their individual pages.}}&lt;br /&gt;
===Series 1===&lt;br /&gt;
Transformers Attacktix initially concentrated on the [[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]] and [[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] franchises. Series 1 was sold in &amp;quot;Booster Packs&amp;quot;, a single &amp;quot;Starter Set&amp;quot;, a single &amp;quot;Battle Masters&amp;quot; set and a single &amp;quot;Star Wars vs. Transformers&amp;quot; crossover set. A [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Attacktix|Galvatron]] piece was to be released with a &amp;quot;Battle Case&amp;quot;, but was cancelled due to poor sales of the &#039;&#039;Star Wars&#039;&#039; equivalent. A white [[Decepticlone]] was packed as a bonus piece with a Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] re-release of the aforementioned &amp;quot;Starter Set&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

===Series 2===&lt;br /&gt;
Transformers Attacktix Series 2 was set to expand the Attacktix universe to include [[The Transformers (franchise)|G1]] and [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]], with fully-painted prototypes displayed at various Hasbro appearance. However, further Transformers Attacktix figured were placed &amp;quot;on hold&amp;quot;, along with the rest of the line. According to &#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039; creator [[Brian Wilk]] in an interview at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2007, Hasbro was re-evaluating the presentation of the line, from packaging (how the pieces are presented, emphasis on the game, the whole blind-packed issue) to placement in the aisles to better grab kids before re-launching the line. &lt;br /&gt;

In Europe, the set was released in limited numbers in Blokker stores.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other known pieces===&lt;br /&gt;
Several additional Attacktix pieces from G1 and the live action movie were revealed at various conventions (oddly enough, most at the Star Wars &amp;quot;Celebration IV&amp;quot; convention), or through official solicitations, but ultimately never saw release. Some were slated to be in &amp;quot;starter packs&amp;quot;, but most were likely boosters. Most of their in-game statistics are unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Attactix los.gif|right|upright=1.95|thumb|Optimus Prime likes to hide behind words.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of [[Hasbro]]&#039;s gaming properties. Players select an &amp;quot;army&amp;quot; of figures, then try to use the figures&#039; special abilities (firing missiles, spring-loaded strike attacks, and the like) to knock down the opposing force. The games rules are set as such that the game can be played very simply and quickly between two players, or more involved battles with multiple players and more rules and turnarounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initially, the &#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039; line consisted solely of &#039;&#039;[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]&#039;&#039; characters, the first wave being released in 2005 to coincide with &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Sith&#039;&#039;; however, Hasbro has since introduced &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; characters to the mix -using a combination of characters from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] and [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] series, even dipping into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]&#039;&#039;, the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie]] (nearly) and a few unique creations, plus recently added heroes and villains from [[Marvel Comics]]. Most strikingly, the Attacktix line featured an &amp;quot;Intergalactic Showdown&amp;quot; crossover pack, pitting &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; characters AGAINST &#039;&#039;Star Wars&#039;&#039; characters for utter supremacy of the Male Action market. [[Marvel Comics]] characters received their own assortments thereafter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AttacktixBoosters.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|HA HA FETT.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the pieces are available in randomized, blind-packed Booster sets. Originally these came three to a pack, but with the addition of &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;, the sets were reduced to cheaper two-packs. The Booster-pack figures are (somewhat misleadingly) rated &amp;quot;Rare&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Super Rare&amp;quot;: each pack contains one of each, but there are twice as many &amp;quot;Super Rare&amp;quot; pieces in an assortment as there are &amp;quot;Rares&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;All&#039;&#039; of the Attacktix characters are compatible and you can use multiples of any one; you can have a team consisting of [[Yoda]], [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]] and [[Spider-Man]] if you wish, or nothing but multiple [[Decepticlone]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Wicked&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The entire line was put on &amp;quot;indefinite hiatus&amp;quot; in early 2007, with a great many planned and revealed pieces intended for Series 2 placed in limbo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Gameplay Basics==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AttacktixDemo.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|Tabletop gaming condensed down to simply knocking things over. Awesome.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The most basic setup of the game involves two players picking an equal number of pieces and placing them on a smooth surface about three feet apart. Players then move as many pieces as they wish as many &amp;quot;tix&amp;quot; as shown on their piece by &amp;quot;rolling&amp;quot; them. At any time during movement, the player can attack with a set number of their pieces; the last player to have any pieces standing wins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most pieces fall under two attack categories: Missiles or Melee. (There are a few special cases, but so far, all &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; pieces are combat-only.) Missile-launching pieces can attack from a distance (the spring mechanisms in Attacktix pieces are very strong), but typically cannot move as many &amp;quot;tix&amp;quot; per turn. Melee pieces need to get up-close for their swipes, stabs, and lifting actions to be effective, so to counter that they typically can move a greater number of &amp;quot;tix&amp;quot; per turn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More advanced methods of play are set up using &#039;&#039;&#039;Point Values&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Special Powers&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Point Values===&lt;br /&gt;
Every piece is rated a certain number of Points. Typically, the higher the point value, the more effective the piece is in battle (more &amp;quot;tix&amp;quot; per turn, more effective attacks/special powers, wider bases to make knocking them down more difficult, etc.). While most pieces range from 10 to 40 points, the large and very powerful &amp;quot;Battle Master&amp;quot; pieces can be worth up to 80. Players may set a maximum total point value to even the playing field, adjusting strategy to match: use a large force of weaker troops to wear down the other team with multiple attacks, or only a few very strong ones in the hopes of overpowering the opponent quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Special Powers===&lt;br /&gt;
On the bottom of every piece&#039;s base is a Special Power that goes into effect when the piece is knocked over, &#039;&#039;if&#039;&#039; the &amp;quot;Attacktix Window&amp;quot; on the bottom shows white. These vary wildly, from giving you retaliatory moves and/or attacks, replacing the fallen figure with another piece of a specified Class, Allegiance or even a specific character, and such. It is a good idea to assemble a team whose Special Powers complement each other; while this typically means sticking with a &amp;quot;theme&amp;quot; (Imperials, Autobots), this is not always the case, thanks to the Class markings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Transformers Attacktix pieces==&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|More detail on each pieces&#039; Special Powers are given on their individual pages.}}&lt;br /&gt;
===Series 1===&lt;br /&gt;
Transformers Attacktix initially concentrated on the [[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]] and [[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] franchises. Series 1 was sold in &amp;quot;Booster Packs&amp;quot;, a single &amp;quot;Starter Set&amp;quot;, a single &amp;quot;Battle Masters&amp;quot; set and a single &amp;quot;Star Wars vs. Transformers&amp;quot; crossover set. A [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Attacktix|Galvatron]] piece was to be released with a &amp;quot;Battle Case&amp;quot;, but was cancelled due to poor sales of the &#039;&#039;Star Wars&#039;&#039; equivalent. A white [[Decepticlone]] was packed as a bonus piece with a Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] re-release of the aforementioned &amp;quot;Starter Set&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

===Series 2===&lt;br /&gt;
Transformers Attacktix Series 2 was set to expand the Attacktix universe to include [[The Transformers (franchise)|G1]] and [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]], with fully-painted prototypes displayed at various Hasbro appearance. However, further Transformers Attacktix figured were placed &amp;quot;on hold&amp;quot;, along with the rest of the line. According to &#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039; creator [[Brian Wilk]] in an interview at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2007, Hasbro was re-evaluating the presentation of the line, from packaging (how the pieces are presented, emphasis on the game, the whole blind-packed issue) to placement in the aisles to better grab kids before re-launching the line. &lt;br /&gt;

In Europe, the set was released in limited numbers in Blokker stores.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other known pieces===&lt;br /&gt;
Several additional Attacktix pieces from G1 and the live action movie were revealed at various conventions (oddly enough, most at the Star Wars &amp;quot;Celebration IV&amp;quot; convention), or through official solicitations, but ultimately never saw release. Some were slated to be in &amp;quot;starter packs&amp;quot;, but most were likely boosters. Most of their in-game statistics are unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Chromia is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chromiamodelsheet.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|&amp;quot;At least our animated character models didn&#039;t have [[Heel struts|high heels]].&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Chromia&#039;&#039;&#039; is a seasoned, tough-as-nails infiltrator who&#039;s adept at unflinching sabotage. Bluntly honest and a little married to her job, she doesn&#039;t make an ideal friend, but she can nevertheless be fiercely protective, a quality which also makes her an exceptional bodyguard. Her rough edges often find her a kinship with other like-minded security officers such as [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. More diplomatic peers such as [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] have attempted to socialize her, but beware—she might &amp;quot;arrange&amp;quot; an exit out of an overwhelming interpersonal situation with a quietly-placed detonator.  &lt;br /&gt;

Four million years ago, Chromia tried to board the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], while it was being attacked, with the rest of Elita One&#039;s team. The plan failed though, and she and the others appeared to be destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia led a mission to steal [[energon cube]]s from [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]]. When [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] got trapped after disobeying orders, Chromia confronted the alerted Shockwave and managed to trick him into freeing Moonracer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly thereafter, a team of [[Decepticon]]s from [[Earth]] came to capture Elita One. In doing so, [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] destroyed the Female Autobots&#039; underground base, trapping them inside. When they managed to free themselves, Chromia took charge of the search for their missing leader. On their way, they met up with a group of Earth-stationed Autobots who had come looking for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and Chromia was reunited with [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]]. The two teams together fought the Decepticons, eventually winning when Optimus and Elita returned. Given a new base by [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], Chromia stayed with Elita&#039;s squad on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when Optimus&#039; team returned to Earth. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}&lt;br /&gt;

Chromia and the rest of the team defeated a gigantic Decepticon. Chromia and her compatriots seemed confident that they could retake Cybertron on their own, though Elita One insisted that Optimus Prime was still their last hope to win the war. {{storylink|The Transformers (MC Axis manga)|The Transformers: Elita One}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Tigatron]] of the [[Legends World]] had a dream in which Chromia appeared before him and warned him he was in danger, soon followed by all kinds of heroic female Transformers. Sure enough, a group of evil female Transformers then showed up to kidnap Tigatron, but Chromia picked him up and kept him safe during the ensuing battle. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 11|Bonus Edition Vol. 11}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During [[Halloween]], Alpha Trion summoned the real Chromia into the Legends Universe to help stop [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]&#039;s latest grab for energy. Dressed up as a bunny girl, she confronted Megatron and his underlings alongside Arcee and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], though she was confused and embarrassed as to why it being Halloween meant she had to dress like that. The three were then defeated and tied up by [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], but it turned out the Decepticons hadn&#039;t gotten any energy anyway. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 17|Bonus Edition Vol. 17}} Tigatron later had another dream of Chromia in which she explained that her new body was the result of changing armor parts, displayed her new altmode and ability to fly, and traded armors with Arcee. {{Storylink|Transformers Legends: Chromia Chapter|Chromia Chapter}} Chromia later swooned over the [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] from her home universe when he crossed over to the Legends Universe. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 19|Bonus Edition Vol. 19}} Chromia and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] were tied up by [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] during his mission to send all interdimensional visitors to the Legends Universe back to where they came from, though he eventually gave up and allowed them to stay. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 20|Bonus Edition Vol. 20}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While acting as cheerleaders at a soccer game for whatever reason, Chromia and the other girls found themselves being harassed by [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 29|Bonus Edition Vol. 29}} After [[Metroplex (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Metroplex]] was sold off to the [[Tera-Kura Co.|Decepticon Tera-Kura Co.]], Chromia joined the Decepticon organization so that she could remain with the city-bot. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 31|Bonus Edition Vol. 31}} As Alpha Trion had done the same, she was near him when he was looking for his [[10.2 ultra-drill|ultra-drill]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 33|Bonus Edition Vol. 33}} As an office worker she wore a snazzy suit, though [[Apeface]] ripped it to pieces while displaying his telekinetic powers. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 38|Bonus Edition Vol. 38}} She later started taking [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]&#039;s new commuter service to work, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 40|Bonus Edition Vol. 40}} and was exasperated with Alpha Trion when he lost his drill again. {{storylink|LG-43 Trypticon Project Chapter}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Decepticon Headmasters turned on Tera-Kura Co. and came to steal Metroplex&#039;s transformation cog, Chromia was defeated by [[Trickdiamond]]&#039;s earthquake powers. {{storylink|LG43 Trypticon Mobilization Chapter: Decepticon Civil War|Decepticon Civil War}} She hung back at the office while the cog was used to rebuild [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], then cheered Metroplex on when he defeated the beast. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|Bonus Edition Vol. 43}} She was later among those pestered by [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]] and his clone army. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 47|Bonus Edition Vol. 47}}&lt;br /&gt;

To gather energy for the energy-sapped Autobots, a crew was formed to pilot the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039;. Chromia was to be part of the crew, but a Decepticon attack blocked her and others from reaching the ship before it departed. Soon after, as their current reserve of energies was dangerously low, Chromia joined her comrades still on the planet in stasis hibernation as an energy-saving measure. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}&lt;br /&gt;

Chromia was a member of an elite squad of five warriors under the command of the [[Quintesson]]s. [[The Route of All Evil|Following a report]] from their Autobot sleeper agent, [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], that the awaited situation to commence their mission had come, [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] used a [[space bridge]] to get to the [[Autobase]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Chromia and the others waited patiently for her to signal that they could follow. Chromia joined her commander soon after it came. With only [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] still to get through the portal, the group was attacked by [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]], but [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] and Elita One took care of that. While the rest of the team went further into the Autobot facility, Chromia was sent back to [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]] with an unconscious [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. {{storylink|Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Issue 11|Generation 1 #11}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Chromia-DIE.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Just off-panel: Virulent Clone with apple on head.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia and her ward [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]] were part of an Autobot strike force tasked with destroying the [[Decepticon]] general [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]&#039; cloning lab on [[Ceti Alpha Seven]]. Although the pair had handily beaten Deathsaurus&#039;s [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] underling [[Buzzclaw (G1)|Buzzclaw]] on [[Regulon Four]] some time previous, they were taken by surprise by the first production run of clones. Although Chromia fought effectively against the clones, she was no match for Deathsaurus himself when he entered the battle personally. Falling before the general&#039;s might, she was taken captive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia, along with her teammates &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; the backup team of Ironhide and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], was ultimately rescued when [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]], who had evaded capture, came to the rescue of the entire Autobot party. {{storylink|Descent into Evil}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DarkCybertron7 Chromia.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
One erroneous account presented Chromia as a Cybertronian, who was among those attended [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]]&#039;s funeral. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} However, every other account shows that Chromia was born from the hot spot contained in the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Caminus (Titan)|Caminus]], who founded [[Caminus (planet)|a distant colony in his name]] that was cut off from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] long before the war and whose citizens retained differentiated genders. Her people&#039;s isolation ended with the arrival of [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]], who had come seeking help from a [[Cityspeaker]] in order to aid [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. The chosen Cityspeaker, [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], needed a bodyguard, however, and so Chromia (and [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]]) were enlisted. {{storylink|A &#039;Bot and Her City|A Bot and Her City}} {{storylink|If I Know You}} The three joined the crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Vis Vitalis]]&#039;&#039; shortly before it crossed paths with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. The legendary Autobot was preoccupied with an important quest, so the three volunteered to watch after Metroplex for him and keep him alive. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} Under their watch, Metroplex&#039;s insides were besieged with invaders, so Chromia and Nautica hunted them down to confront them and fight them off, if necessary. They found a small group of robots and Chromia threatened to put the hurt down on them. {{storylink|The Dead Are Not Enough: Dark Cybertron Chapter 7|The Dead Are Not Enough}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their adversaries turned out to be fellow Autobots from the &#039;&#039;[[Lost Light]]&#039;&#039; who were battling an army of angered [[Ammonite]]s. Chromia and Nautica led them back to their boss, Windblade, who explained their mission, and subsequently the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039; was able to give Metroplex a jump, allowing him to [[space bridge|spacebridge]] back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} On arrival, they couldn&#039;t do much but hang on tight within Metroplex as the city-bot did battle with the [[Quintessa (IDW)|Necrotitan]]. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}} Following Metroplex&#039;s victory, Chromia and her pals got to mingle with the locals, including another female Autobot named [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]]. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} When [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]]&#039;s army of Ammonites invaded Cybertron, the three Camiens returned to Metroplex to convince him to fight the invaders. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}} Toward the end of the battle, [[Mainframe (G1)|Mainframe]] contacted Chromia to let them to know the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039; was about to ram [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]], though she got frustrated by the vague, dramatic way he phrased it. {{storylink|...And the Damage Done: Dark Cybertron Finale|...And the Damage Done}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia accompanied Nautica to her audition to join the crew of the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039;, helping out by keeping her friend&#039;s rambling to a minimum. Chromia and Windblade later attended [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]&#039;s trial. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}} The pair went to find cover when a group of Decepticons disrupted proceedings with the intent to rescue the defendant. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner&#039;s Guide|Predestination: A Beginner&#039;s Guide}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Six months later, Chromia had stayed behind on Cybertron in order to protect and train Windblade as she performed her role as Metroplex&#039;s Cityspeaker. She was highly untrusting of Cybertron&#039;s elected ruler, [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]], though Windblade preferred to give him the benefit of the doubt. When Windblade sought advice on how to best interact with Starscream, Chromia scoffed at Windblade&#039;s choice of talking to the &amp;quot;mopey&amp;quot; [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]], but was visibly upset when Windblade teased her about telling Ironhide she described him as such. Later, Chromia accompanied Windblade as the pair investigated an area of the city that might reveal why Metroplex was suffering blackouts, and at the end of the day Chromia insisted they not over-exert themselves and reconvene in the morning. {{storylink|A &#039;Bot and Her City}} Chromia planted a bomb near where they&#039;d be, in an attempt to make Windblade return to Caminus. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} In the morning, when she and Windblade returned to the area, the bomb exploded, damaging Windblade. Chromia dragged her to medical care. {{storylink|A &#039;Bot and Her City}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Windblade3-altmodes.jpg|left|thumb|No, it&#039;s true, they actually elected Starscream.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia was guarding Windblade when Starscream paid her a visit, and afterwards encouraged Windblade to pursue the idea that Starscream was behind the bomb. Enlisting Ironhide&#039;s help, they followed up a lead in the form of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] whom Chromia had to physically tackle when he tried to run. Chromia stayed in [[Blurr (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Blurr]]&#039;s bar while Windblade went with Waspinator. After Windblade discovered Starscream was trying to mine ore from Metroplex, Chromia joined a team that went down to investigate. {{storylink|A Long Way Down}} They were attacked by the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and Chromia went instinctively to Windblade&#039;s aid, eventually managing to avoid being arrested when Starscream and Rattrap arrived. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}} She arranged for Metroplex&#039;s spacebridge to activate, {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} and organized a jail break, successfully springing Windblade and the others. As they headed for Metroplex, Windblade revealed that she believed Starscream wasn&#039;t behind the bomb. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pair rushed to Metroplex, where Chromia insisted Windblade merge with the Titan&#039;s mind. She fought with Starscream when he arrived, but he managed to injure Windblade and sliced off Chromia&#039;s right arm. Windblade, merged with Metroplex, was able to subdue him with the Titan&#039;s internal defenses and revealed she&#039;d discovered Chromia was behind the bomb. Though Chromia encouraged Windblade to make Metroplex jump back to Caminus, Windblade instead opted to shut the spacebridge down in favor of making a deal with Starscream. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was among the group present when [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] was brought back online, though she wasn&#039;t as enthusiastic about the event when she observed how happy Starscream was. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}} Chromia then participated in the violent arrest of the [[Firecon]]s, primary suspects in a series of murders, {{storylink|Quest for Fire}} and was present when they were locked up. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia and Ironhide found Windblade and Optimus Prime being attacked by Decepticons and Chromia managed to stop the fight through sheer force of intimidation. They retired to Metroplex to contemplate the spacebridge, now linked to Caminus. Optimus ordered Chromia and Ironhide to guard the portal; however they were unable to prevent [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] from taking [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] through. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} They headed through the portal with Starscream&#039;s forces and attacked Menasor. The giant briefly held Chromia in his fist until she broke free. In the end, the battle was decided when [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] joined in. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} Chromia was taking part in the subsequent cleanup on Caminus when [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] arrived and started smashing more things. As the giant started trying to smash the spacebridge, Chromia rallied those present to fight him until Superion and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] defeated him. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}} As Starscream returned to Cybertron, Chromia went with him to make sure no one started shooting. She was later back on Caminus when Menasor again went through the spacebridge and started fighting with the combiners already there. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} As a combiner incorporating Optimus joined the fight, Chromia led a group back through to Cybertron to help prevent the Decepticons there from attacking Caminus. {{storylink|All That Remains}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AnUneventfulNight-ChromiaVsArcee.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|&#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; Arcee vs. G1 Arcee.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Windblade and Chromia were returning to Cybertron through the spacebridge while Optimus communicated with [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}} To celebrate the union between Cybertron and Caminus, the Mistress of Flame declared an official holiday that saw Chromia temporarily don some Cityspeaker-style face paint for the occasion. While she was guarding the [[Enigma of Combination]] with a [[Badgeless]], Arcee stole the artifact. Chromia and Windblade pursued her into the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] where their confrontation was interrupted by the [[Torchbearer]]s. After the Torchbearers were merged into [[Victorion]], the trio fought to survive the giant&#039;s onslaught until Windblade managed to talk the giant into separating. Chromia later returned the Enigma and resumed guarding it. {{storylink|An Uneventful Night}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She and Windblade interceded in a quarrel between visiting Camiens and Decepticons, though Chromia was a little too aggressive with the Decepticons. Windblade left her to finish sorting things out. She later joined Windblade, Ironhide, and Blurr for a trip to [[Velocitron]], where they found themselves in the path of [[Delta]], a city fleeing a wall of fire. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade vol. 2 #4}} Chromia managed to encourage Ironhide into safely making it onto the city by staying by his side. She accompanied Windblade and [[Clocker (G1)|Clocker]] to inspect [[Navitas]], the Titan on which the city was built, and stood by as Windblade talked to the Titan directly. {{storylink|Race Against the Light}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TheWillOfTheFew-secondchances.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Windblade returned disappointed from [[Eukaris]] following the death of [[Chela]], Chromia believed she&#039;d done her best to save the Titan. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} Following the formation of the [[Council of Worlds]], Starscream declared [[Chosen One Day]], a new holiday. Windblade hugged Chromia and forgave her for past discretions...if only for a night. {{storylink|Choose Me}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia, Ironhide, and Windblade helped re-secure the spacebridge nexus after a gaggle of Decepticons stormed it. Chromia was present when Optimus Prime used the bridge to go to Earth and annex it in advance of [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]&#039;s invasion. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} Shortly after taking this drastic step, Optimus had a nightmare where he saw Windblade and Chromia bowing down before him. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} The real Chromia, meanwhile, had gone off to attend an emergency Council meeting to discuss this problem. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TheLineBetweenUs-ChromiaGoesToJail.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The uneasy peace on Cybertron was growing increasingly threatened by the distrust of the Badgeless, and compounded by a spree of [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgical]] attacks on several Decepticons within Iacon, including a supplier of parts to [[Vigilem|Carcer]]. The Committee moved to have [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] investigate the issue. When the meeting was adjourned, Chromia went off to spar with [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]. {{storylink|07:00:00}} Tensions boiled over after the suspicious death of [[Drunkatron|a disgruntled Decepticon]], and Chromia participated in a Council meeting that saw Ironhide step up as the new head of Cybertronian security. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] reawoke, Chromia was walking around in the Decepticon ghetto outside of Metroplex. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} On learning that Windblade was being forced to help Starscream because he knew of Chromia&#039;s actions in bombing Acrolight, Chromia took over decoding security footage related to Swindle&#039;s death and discovered the Decepticon&#039;s body had been taken by Wheeljack and Rattrap. She visited Wheeljack, only for the pair of them to be taken prisoner by the rest of the Combaticons, who forced Wheeljack to lead them to Swindle&#039;s brain-dead body. {{storylink|Things We Said We&#039;d Never Do}} After the Combaticons used the Enigma to merge into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], Chromia worked with Windblade to talk the Combaticons down, however Ironhide took matters into his own hands and blasted Bruticus. In the aftermath, Chromia coopted [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]]&#039;s broadcast to make a public confession of her actions in Acrolight, and was arrested by Ironhide. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia being in prison was later one of the factors Windblade mentioned that had demoralized her. {{storylink|Ping}} When a fleet of undead Titans arrived to destroy Cybertron (as they do), Chromia was marched onto a prison ship when Starscream gave the evacuation order. She broke the prison line to speak to Ironhide about Metroplex being felled and urged him to help Windblade who was doubtlessly with the Titan. Ironhide said Windblade was at the [[Spire]] (and he was right) and there was no need to worry but Chromia was convinced that without Ironhide, Windblade would do something stupid (she was also right). {{storylink|Desperate Times}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Said stupid thing turned out to be releasing [[Vigilem|Carcer]]. When the evil Titan made planetfall, Chromia rushed back to Ironhide to try and find Windblade, only for the irritable warden to grab her and stuff her in a prison cell to be killed by the undead. However, Metroplex managed to release her and direct her to Windblade&#039;s location with Carcer so she could free her friend. Chromia rushed to the Titan and scaled up his body, breaching his body and arriving at his [[brain module]] just as [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] had blown it into chunks, seemingly killing Windblade. {{storylink|Rubicon}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia was subsequently put back into prison and set to be tried for crimes against Cybertron. The [[Mistress of Flame]] attempted to get Starscream to turn Chromia over to her but when Starscream refused, she demanded Swindle and Menasor in exchange. The ghost of Bumblebee urged Starscream to hand over Chromia. Starscream instead opted to free Chromia and turn her into a hit-bot to hunt down and kill [[Liege Maximo]], offering her a pardon in exchange, as well as saying he&#039;d lost his own chance to be better, telling Chromia not to waste hers. {{storylink|Heavy}} Starscream and [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] provided Chromia with the &#039;&#039;[[Sabre]]&#039;&#039;, with [[Greenlight]] and [[Lancer]] as her crew, while the Camien herself recorded a goodbye message for Windblade, encouraging her friend to stay strong while she was away. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after setting out, however, the crew ran afoul of the [[Maximal]]s. Though they managed to triumph over their foes, the Maximals had damaged the &#039;&#039;Sabre&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s long range communication, leaving them unable to contact [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Liege Maximo returned to Cybertron as a prisoner of [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]], Windblade asked whether the bestial Prime had encountered Chromia or her team. Onyx chose to ignore the question and grill [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] instead. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the &#039;&#039;Sabre&#039;&#039; finally repaired its communications, the crew had caught up with the [[Decepticon Vengeance Division]] facing off against [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] in [[G Nebula 89]]. Calling Cybertron, Chromia was quickly caught up on the recent political changes before she reported that, despite their incredible firepower, the Decepticons were failing to damage the Chaos Bringer. Unicron unleashing the Maximals on the Decepticons was enough incentive for Chromia to order a quantum jump back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Sabre&#039;&#039; arrived back home to find Unicron had beaten them there and assumed a robot mode to attack the planet, while having warped the DVD into his service. Acting as a coordinator, Chromia tried to deter [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] from charging head-on to no success, the Carcerian confident in her plan. {{storylink|Our Finest}}&lt;br /&gt;

: The toy was originally intended to be [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]], but [[Fun Publications]] could not secure the [[trademark]] on the name. As such, Chromia&#039;s toy is in Moonracer&#039;s teal and white colors and has a head that resembles Moonracer&#039;s.

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations#Thrilling 30|Generations: Thrilling 30]]&#039;&#039; Chromia is a heavy [[retool]] of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; [[Arcee (WFC)#Robots in Disguise|Arcee]], transforming into a Cybertronian motorbike. Her blaster weapon can be mounted on the bottom of her bike mode. Originally scheduled for March 2014 along with [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Generations|Arcee]], Chromia was delayed to fall of that year and ultimately not released until December.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hasbro&#039;s [[:File:Generations Chromia stock photo edited.jpg|original stock photo for the figure]] depicting a hand-painted prototype (which is also featured on the back of the toy&#039;s packaging) showed her holding one of her [[wave]]-mate Arcee&#039;s guns along with her own. This was most certainly due to a mix-up error; the weapon&#039;s design, especially the size and shape of its handle and additional pegs (which are identical to those of Arcee&#039;s other weapon), make it very obvious that it was always intended to go with Arcee rather than Chromia. A [[:File:Generations Chromia Second Stock Photo.jpg|different version of the stock photo]] was released in November 2014 on the official &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Facebook page, with the extra gun edited out. Some specimens of Chromia also feature a sticker on the back of the packaging that says &amp;quot;Additional weapon not included.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to the nature of her transformation, Chromia&#039;s paint is extremely prone to chipping, especially the white paint on her head. Caution and care is recommended when transforming her to avoid damaging her paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original version of this sculpt was also used to make [[BotCon 2014]] [[Flareup (G1)#BotCon2014|Flareup]], and was &#039;&#039;differently&#039;&#039; retooled to make &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime: Beast Hunters]]&#039;&#039; [[Arcee (WFC)#Beast Hunters|Arcee]].

She includes the &amp;quot;RT-5 Anti-thermo Blaster,&amp;quot; a gun compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Two &amp;quot;EMP-Grenades&amp;quot; can connect to the barrel, and the &amp;quot;SR Hushfuze&amp;quot; scope can be detached and can extend the barrel as well, allowing you to change the length of the barrel and/or scope. The grenades can also attach to the back of the vehicle, as if they are big exhaust pipes. As with all non-gimmick &#039;&#039;Siege&#039;&#039; figures, Chromia features &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; paint applications on her vehicle mode front. She also features multiple hardpoints all over herself and her weapon to accommodate &amp;quot;Fire Blasts&amp;quot; from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.&lt;br /&gt;

*Though other female Transformers may be more well known, Chromia holds the distinction of being the first female Transformer to appear in ANY media. She&#039;s the first of the Female Autobots to appear on screen in &amp;quot;The Search for Alpha Trion&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Though the first to appear in any media, [[Minerva (Masterforce human)|Minerva]] was the first female Autobot to receive a toy, and [[Freezon]] the first female Transformer to receive one (though due to a retcon). That being said, Chromia finally did get a toy as a Botcon exclusive 20 years after her debut, and a mass-released figure in the &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; line 29 years after her debut. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Linda Gary&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[November 4]], [[1944]] - [[October 5]], [[1995]]) was an American voice actress.  Born &#039;&#039;&#039;Linda Gary Dewoskin&#039;&#039;&#039;, she played a number of memorable roles during her career, including Teela, the Sorceress, and Evil-Lyn on &#039;&#039;Masters of the Universe&#039;&#039;, Grandma Knight on &#039;&#039;[[Tim Curry|Gabriel Knight]]: Sins of the Fathers&#039;&#039;, Aunt May on two separate &#039;&#039;[[Spider-Man]]&#039;&#039; cartoons, and basically half of the cast of &#039;&#039;She-Ra: Princess of Power&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;I&#039;ve been going back over the G1 cartoon lately, and I cannot buy into the idea that Linda Gary did any of the voices listed. All the credits I have removed were guesswork on the part of Zobovor back in the days of his voice actor list, based on her being credited in the third season alone. Linda Gary&#039;s got a very distinctive voice (if you&#039;ve watched He-Man, you know that), and she doesn&#039;t sound like any of the women who voiced those characters. I could certainly believe that some of them were voiced by the same person (Chromia and Talaria, perhaps), but I have to remove these for my own sanity. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 13:44, 30 August 2015 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:Is there a chance the VA was Susan Silo? She voiced [http://picosong.com/wynsT/ Sandra in Inhumanoids] (which had a lot of cast/personnel in common with Transformers) and [http://picosong.com/wynsz here&#039;s Chromia for comparison]. The voices sound pretty similar to me but that&#039;s just my two cents. The thought of it being her was brought up to me on another site and inspired by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGqQJV9cGbQ&amp;amp;lc=z231xduiesfzh30saacdp43a4pnvggaomoe51zeqv1dw03c010c.1515443200645899 someone else&#039;s suggestion on a Youtube comment], and it seems like a decent case. --[[User:NCZ|NCZ]] ([[User talk:NCZ|talk]]) 23:23, 9 January 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015, Chris McFeely removed [[Linda Gary]] as the voice talent for [[Chromia (G1)]], based seemingly on a feeling that Ms. Gary did not &amp;quot;sound&amp;quot; like Chromia and the absence of her name from the Season Two end credit sequence. Since then, no one has come forward with concrete proof that Ms. Gary was not the contributing actor, and the credit spot has remained vacant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I submit that, particularly in the absence of any solid evidence to the contrary, Linda Gary is Chromia. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Multiple sources have listed her in this role. The in-depth Cybertron Chronicle (http://cybertronchronicle.freewebspace.com/cartoon-dossier/season-2/cast/700-52-principals.html) lists her among the principal cast. Ms. Gary is also attributed the role in IMDB (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0308881/), Behind the Voice Actor (https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Linda-Gary/), and wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Gary). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover, Ms. Gray was known for her versatility, as evidenced by this profile in the LA Times in 1987 (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-03-12-vw-9229-story.html). Quote: &amp;quot;Linda is one of the most versatile and talented ladies in the voice field in L.A.,&amp;quot; said Erika Scheimer, who casts and directs for Filmation of Canoga Park, a major producer of cartoons. &amp;quot;So if we need someone really versatile, she&#039;s the person we call.&amp;quot; During one studio session, to get the feel of being a witch, Gary shriveled her 5-foot-9 frame into a wizened, sputtering, spitting, evil creature with a gravel voice. &amp;quot;You have to have some empathy with the character you&#039;re playing to make them real,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;When you&#039;re doing a character, especially a cartoon, your body has to move, your face has to move, you have to contort yourself into what that character is doing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, her absence from a generic season-wide end credit is to be expected in an era when credit was not always given where do. There are in fact only two female voice actors listed in the Season Two era - Morgan Lofting (well-known to Sunbow as the Baroness in G.I. Joe) and Arlene Banas (who was a mainstay as Carly throughout Season 2 and 3) - and none in Season One. It is not surprising then that Ms. Gary would not be included in this list, as other female actors were also omitted from the Transformers credit sequent. For example, [[Mona Marshall]], who portrayed [[Luisa]] in [[Fire on the Mountain (episode)]] and [[Aron]] in [[Child&#039;s Play (episode)]], was omitted from both the Season One and Season Two end credit sequences. Within [The Search for Alpha Trion]] episode itself, [[Elita One (G1)]] herself, [[Marlene Aragon]], is not listed in the Season Two end credit sequence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The evidence points to Linda Gary as Chromia. It is time to adjust the profile of Chromia, and of Ms. Gary herself, to reflect this. [[User:fairplaythings|fairplaythings]] 30 June 2019&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

:&#039;&#039;Chromia is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Chromiamodelsheet.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|&amp;quot;At least our animated character models didn&#039;t have [[Heel struts|high heels]].&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Chromia&#039;&#039;&#039; is a seasoned, tough-as-nails infiltrator who&#039;s adept at unflinching sabotage. Bluntly honest and a little married to her job, she doesn&#039;t make an ideal friend, but she can nevertheless be fiercely protective, a quality which also makes her an exceptional bodyguard. Her rough edges often find her a kinship with other like-minded security officers such as [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. More diplomatic peers such as [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] have attempted to socialize her, but beware—she might &amp;quot;arrange&amp;quot; an exit out of an overwhelming interpersonal situation with a quietly-placed detonator.  &lt;br /&gt;

Four million years ago, Chromia tried to board the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], while it was being attacked, with the rest of Elita One&#039;s team. The plan failed though, and she and the others appeared to be destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia led a mission to steal [[energon cube]]s from [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]]. When [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] got trapped after disobeying orders, Chromia confronted the alerted Shockwave and managed to trick him into freeing Moonracer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly thereafter, a team of [[Decepticon]]s from [[Earth]] came to capture Elita One. In doing so, [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] destroyed the Female Autobots&#039; underground base, trapping them inside. When they managed to free themselves, Chromia took charge of the search for their missing leader. On their way, they met up with a group of Earth-stationed Autobots who had come looking for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and Chromia was reunited with [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]]. The two teams together fought the Decepticons, eventually winning when Optimus and Elita returned. Given a new base by [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], Chromia stayed with Elita&#039;s squad on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when Optimus&#039; team returned to Earth. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}&lt;br /&gt;

Chromia and the rest of the team defeated a gigantic Decepticon. Chromia and her compatriots seemed confident that they could retake Cybertron on their own, though Elita One insisted that Optimus Prime was still their last hope to win the war. {{storylink|The Transformers (MC Axis manga)|The Transformers: Elita One}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Tigatron]] of the [[Legends World]] had a dream in which Chromia appeared before him and warned him he was in danger, soon followed by all kinds of heroic female Transformers. Sure enough, a group of evil female Transformers then showed up to kidnap Tigatron, but Chromia picked him up and kept him safe during the ensuing battle. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 11|Bonus Edition Vol. 11}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During [[Halloween]], Alpha Trion summoned the real Chromia into the Legends Universe to help stop [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]&#039;s latest grab for energy. Dressed up as a bunny girl, she confronted Megatron and his underlings alongside Arcee and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], though she was confused and embarrassed as to why it being Halloween meant she had to dress like that. The three were then defeated and tied up by [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], but it turned out the Decepticons hadn&#039;t gotten any energy anyway. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 17|Bonus Edition Vol. 17}} Tigatron later had another dream of Chromia in which she explained that her new body was the result of changing armor parts, displayed her new altmode and ability to fly, and traded armors with Arcee. {{Storylink|Transformers Legends: Chromia Chapter|Chromia Chapter}} Chromia later swooned over the [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] from her home universe when he crossed over to the Legends Universe. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 19|Bonus Edition Vol. 19}} Chromia and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] were tied up by [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] during his mission to send all interdimensional visitors to the Legends Universe back to where they came from, though he eventually gave up and allowed them to stay. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 20|Bonus Edition Vol. 20}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While acting as cheerleaders at a soccer game for whatever reason, Chromia and the other girls found themselves being harassed by [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 29|Bonus Edition Vol. 29}} After [[Metroplex (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Metroplex]] was sold off to the [[Tera-Kura Co.|Decepticon Tera-Kura Co.]], Chromia joined the Decepticon organization so that she could remain with the city-bot. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 31|Bonus Edition Vol. 31}} As Alpha Trion had done the same, she was near him when he was looking for his [[10.2 ultra-drill|ultra-drill]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 33|Bonus Edition Vol. 33}} As an office worker she wore a snazzy suit, though [[Apeface]] ripped it to pieces while displaying his telekinetic powers. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 38|Bonus Edition Vol. 38}} She later started taking [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]&#039;s new commuter service to work, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 40|Bonus Edition Vol. 40}} and was exasperated with Alpha Trion when he lost his drill again. {{storylink|LG-43 Trypticon Project Chapter}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Decepticon Headmasters turned on Tera-Kura Co. and came to steal Metroplex&#039;s transformation cog, Chromia was defeated by [[Trickdiamond]]&#039;s earthquake powers. {{storylink|LG43 Trypticon Mobilization Chapter: Decepticon Civil War|Decepticon Civil War}} She hung back at the office while the cog was used to rebuild [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], then cheered Metroplex on when he defeated the beast. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|Bonus Edition Vol. 43}} She was later among those pestered by [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]] and his clone army. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 47|Bonus Edition Vol. 47}}&lt;br /&gt;

To gather energy for the energy-sapped Autobots, a crew was formed to pilot the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039;. Chromia was to be part of the crew, but a Decepticon attack blocked her and others from reaching the ship before it departed. Soon after, as their current reserve of energies was dangerously low, Chromia joined her comrades still on the planet in stasis hibernation as an energy-saving measure. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}&lt;br /&gt;

Chromia was a member of an elite squad of five warriors under the command of the [[Quintesson]]s. [[The Route of All Evil|Following a report]] from their Autobot sleeper agent, [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], that the awaited situation to commence their mission had come, [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] used a [[space bridge]] to get to the [[Autobase]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Chromia and the others waited patiently for her to signal that they could follow. Chromia joined her commander soon after it came. With only [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] still to get through the portal, the group was attacked by [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]], but [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] and Elita One took care of that. While the rest of the team went further into the Autobot facility, Chromia was sent back to [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]] with an unconscious [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. {{storylink|Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Issue 11|Generation 1 #11}}&lt;br /&gt;

Chromia and her ward [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]] were part of an Autobot strike force tasked with destroying the [[Decepticon]] general [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]&#039; cloning lab on [[Ceti Alpha Seven]]. Although the pair had handily beaten Deathsaurus&#039;s [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] underling [[Buzzclaw (G1)|Buzzclaw]] on [[Regulon Four]] some time previous, they were taken by surprise by the first production run of clones. Although Chromia fought effectively against the clones, she was no match for Deathsaurus himself when he entered the battle personally. Falling before the general&#039;s might, she was taken captive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia, along with her teammates &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; the backup team of Ironhide and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], was ultimately rescued when [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]], who had evaded capture, came to the rescue of the entire Autobot party. {{storylink|Descent into Evil}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DarkCybertron7 Chromia.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
One erroneous account presented Chromia as a Cybertronian, who was among those attended [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]]&#039;s funeral. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} However, every other account shows that Chromia was born from the hot spot contained in the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Caminus (Titan)|Caminus]], who founded [[Caminus (planet)|a distant colony in his name]] that was cut off from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] long before the war and whose citizens retained differentiated genders. Her people&#039;s isolation ended with the arrival of [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]], who had come seeking help from a [[Cityspeaker]] in order to aid [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. The chosen Cityspeaker, [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], needed a bodyguard, however, and so Chromia (and [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]]) were enlisted. {{storylink|A &#039;Bot and Her City|A Bot and Her City}} {{storylink|If I Know You}} The three joined the crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Vis Vitalis]]&#039;&#039; shortly before it crossed paths with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. The legendary Autobot was preoccupied with an important quest, so the three volunteered to watch after Metroplex for him and keep him alive. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} Under their watch, Metroplex&#039;s insides were besieged with invaders, so Chromia and Nautica hunted them down to confront them and fight them off, if necessary. They found a small group of robots and Chromia threatened to put the hurt down on them. {{storylink|The Dead Are Not Enough: Dark Cybertron Chapter 7|The Dead Are Not Enough}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their adversaries turned out to be fellow Autobots from the &#039;&#039;[[Lost Light]]&#039;&#039; who were battling an army of angered [[Ammonite]]s. Chromia and Nautica led them back to their boss, Windblade, who explained their mission, and subsequently the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039; was able to give Metroplex a jump, allowing him to [[space bridge|spacebridge]] back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} On arrival, they couldn&#039;t do much but hang on tight within Metroplex as the city-bot did battle with the [[Quintessa (IDW)|Necrotitan]]. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}} Following Metroplex&#039;s victory, Chromia and her pals got to mingle with the locals, including another female Autobot named [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]]. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} When [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]]&#039;s army of Ammonites invaded Cybertron, the three Camiens returned to Metroplex to convince him to fight the invaders. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}} Toward the end of the battle, [[Mainframe (G1)|Mainframe]] contacted Chromia to let them to know the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039; was about to ram [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]], though she got frustrated by the vague, dramatic way he phrased it. {{storylink|...And the Damage Done: Dark Cybertron Finale|...And the Damage Done}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia accompanied Nautica to her audition to join the crew of the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039;, helping out by keeping her friend&#039;s rambling to a minimum. Chromia and Windblade later attended [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]&#039;s trial. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}} The pair went to find cover when a group of Decepticons disrupted proceedings with the intent to rescue the defendant. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner&#039;s Guide|Predestination: A Beginner&#039;s Guide}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BotAndHerCity-nottechnicallydawn.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Six months later, Chromia had stayed behind on Cybertron in order to protect and train Windblade as she performed her role as Metroplex&#039;s Cityspeaker. She was highly untrusting of Cybertron&#039;s elected ruler, [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]], though Windblade preferred to give him the benefit of the doubt. When Windblade sought advice on how to best interact with Starscream, Chromia scoffed at Windblade&#039;s choice of talking to the &amp;quot;mopey&amp;quot; [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]], but was visibly upset when Windblade teased her about telling Ironhide she described him as such. Later, Chromia accompanied Windblade as the pair investigated an area of the city that might reveal why Metroplex was suffering blackouts, and at the end of the day Chromia insisted they not over-exert themselves and reconvene in the morning. {{storylink|A &#039;Bot and Her City}} Chromia planted a bomb near where they&#039;d be, in an attempt to make Windblade return to Caminus. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} In the morning, when she and Windblade returned to the area, the bomb exploded, damaging Windblade. Chromia dragged her to medical care. {{storylink|A &#039;Bot and Her City}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Windblade3-altmodes.jpg|left|thumb|No, it&#039;s true, they actually elected Starscream.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia was guarding Windblade when Starscream paid her a visit, and afterwards encouraged Windblade to pursue the idea that Starscream was behind the bomb. Enlisting Ironhide&#039;s help, they followed up a lead in the form of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] whom Chromia had to physically tackle when he tried to run. Chromia stayed in [[Blurr (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Blurr]]&#039;s bar while Windblade went with Waspinator. After Windblade discovered Starscream was trying to mine ore from Metroplex, Chromia joined a team that went down to investigate. {{storylink|A Long Way Down}} They were attacked by the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and Chromia went instinctively to Windblade&#039;s aid, eventually managing to avoid being arrested when Starscream and Rattrap arrived. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}} She arranged for Metroplex&#039;s spacebridge to activate, {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} and organized a jail break, successfully springing Windblade and the others. As they headed for Metroplex, Windblade revealed that she believed Starscream wasn&#039;t behind the bomb. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pair rushed to Metroplex, where Chromia insisted Windblade merge with the Titan&#039;s mind. She fought with Starscream when he arrived, but he managed to injure Windblade and sliced off Chromia&#039;s right arm. Windblade, merged with Metroplex, was able to subdue him with the Titan&#039;s internal defenses and revealed she&#039;d discovered Chromia was behind the bomb. Though Chromia encouraged Windblade to make Metroplex jump back to Caminus, Windblade instead opted to shut the spacebridge down in favor of making a deal with Starscream. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was among the group present when [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] was brought back online, though she wasn&#039;t as enthusiastic about the event when she observed how happy Starscream was. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}} Chromia then participated in the violent arrest of the [[Firecon]]s, primary suspects in a series of murders, {{storylink|Quest for Fire}} and was present when they were locked up. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AllThatRemains-ChromiaHasHadEnough.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia and Ironhide found Windblade and Optimus Prime being attacked by Decepticons and Chromia managed to stop the fight through sheer force of intimidation. They retired to Metroplex to contemplate the spacebridge, now linked to Caminus. Optimus ordered Chromia and Ironhide to guard the portal; however they were unable to prevent [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] from taking [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] through. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} They headed through the portal with Starscream&#039;s forces and attacked Menasor. The giant briefly held Chromia in his fist until she broke free. In the end, the battle was decided when [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] joined in. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} Chromia was taking part in the subsequent cleanup on Caminus when [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] arrived and started smashing more things. As the giant started trying to smash the spacebridge, Chromia rallied those present to fight him until Superion and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] defeated him. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}} As Starscream returned to Cybertron, Chromia went with him to make sure no one started shooting. She was later back on Caminus when Menasor again went through the spacebridge and started fighting with the combiners already there. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} As a combiner incorporating Optimus joined the fight, Chromia led a group back through to Cybertron to help prevent the Decepticons there from attacking Caminus. {{storylink|All That Remains}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AnUneventfulNight-ChromiaVsArcee.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|&#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; Arcee vs. G1 Arcee.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Windblade and Chromia were returning to Cybertron through the spacebridge while Optimus communicated with [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}} To celebrate the union between Cybertron and Caminus, the Mistress of Flame declared an official holiday that saw Chromia temporarily don some Cityspeaker-style face paint for the occasion. While she was guarding the [[Enigma of Combination]] with a [[Badgeless]], Arcee stole the artifact. Chromia and Windblade pursued her into the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] where their confrontation was interrupted by the [[Torchbearer]]s. After the Torchbearers were merged into [[Victorion]], the trio fought to survive the giant&#039;s onslaught until Windblade managed to talk the giant into separating. Chromia later returned the Enigma and resumed guarding it. {{storylink|An Uneventful Night}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She and Windblade interceded in a quarrel between visiting Camiens and Decepticons, though Chromia was a little too aggressive with the Decepticons. Windblade left her to finish sorting things out. She later joined Windblade, Ironhide, and Blurr for a trip to [[Velocitron]], where they found themselves in the path of [[Delta]], a city fleeing a wall of fire. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade vol. 2 #4}} Chromia managed to encourage Ironhide into safely making it onto the city by staying by his side. She accompanied Windblade and [[Clocker (G1)|Clocker]] to inspect [[Navitas]], the Titan on which the city was built, and stood by as Windblade talked to the Titan directly. {{storylink|Race Against the Light}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TheWillOfTheFew-secondchances.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Windblade returned disappointed from [[Eukaris]] following the death of [[Chela]], Chromia believed she&#039;d done her best to save the Titan. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} Following the formation of the [[Council of Worlds]], Starscream declared [[Chosen One Day]], a new holiday. Windblade hugged Chromia and forgave her for past discretions...if only for a night. {{storylink|Choose Me}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia, Ironhide, and Windblade helped re-secure the spacebridge nexus after a gaggle of Decepticons stormed it. Chromia was present when Optimus Prime used the bridge to go to Earth and annex it in advance of [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]&#039;s invasion. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} Shortly after taking this drastic step, Optimus had a nightmare where he saw Windblade and Chromia bowing down before him. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} The real Chromia, meanwhile, had gone off to attend an emergency Council meeting to discuss this problem. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TheLineBetweenUs-ChromiaGoesToJail.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The uneasy peace on Cybertron was growing increasingly threatened by the distrust of the Badgeless, and compounded by a spree of [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgical]] attacks on several Decepticons within Iacon, including a supplier of parts to [[Vigilem|Carcer]]. The Committee moved to have [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] investigate the issue. When the meeting was adjourned, Chromia went off to spar with [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]. {{storylink|07:00:00}} Tensions boiled over after the suspicious death of [[Drunkatron|a disgruntled Decepticon]], and Chromia participated in a Council meeting that saw Ironhide step up as the new head of Cybertronian security. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}&lt;br /&gt;

Shortly after [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] reawoke, Chromia was walking around in the Decepticon ghetto outside of Metroplex. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} On learning that Windblade was being forced to help Starscream because he knew of Chromia&#039;s actions in bombing Acrolight, Chromia took over decoding security footage related to Swindle&#039;s death and discovered the Decepticon&#039;s body had been taken by Wheeljack and Rattrap. She visited Wheeljack, only for the pair of them to be taken prisoner by the rest of the Combaticons, who forced Wheeljack to lead them to Swindle&#039;s brain-dead body. {{storylink|Things We Said We&#039;d Never Do}} After the Combaticons used the Enigma to merge into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], Chromia worked with Windblade to talk the Combaticons down, however Ironhide took matters into his own hands and blasted Bruticus. In the aftermath, Chromia coopted [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]]&#039;s broadcast to make a public confession of her actions in Acrolight, and was arrested by Ironhide. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia being in prison was later one of the factors Windblade mentioned that had demoralized her. {{storylink|Ping}} When a fleet of undead Titans arrived to destroy Cybertron (as they do), Chromia was marched onto a prison ship when Starscream gave the evacuation order. She broke the prison line to speak to Ironhide about Metroplex being felled and urged him to help Windblade who was doubtlessly with the Titan. Ironhide said Windblade was at the [[Spire]] (and he was right) and there was no need to worry but Chromia was convinced that without Ironhide, Windblade would do something stupid (she was also right). {{storylink|Desperate Times}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Said stupid thing turned out to be releasing [[Vigilem|Carcer]]. When the evil Titan made planetfall, Chromia rushed back to Ironhide to try and find Windblade, only for the irritable warden to grab her and stuff her in a prison cell to be killed by the undead. However, Metroplex managed to release her and direct her to Windblade&#039;s location with Carcer so she could free her friend. Chromia rushed to the Titan and scaled up his body, breaching his body and arriving at his [[brain module]] just as [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] had blown it into chunks, seemingly killing Windblade. {{storylink|Rubicon}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia was subsequently put back into prison and set to be tried for crimes against Cybertron. The [[Mistress of Flame]] attempted to get Starscream to turn Chromia over to her but when Starscream refused, she demanded Swindle and Menasor in exchange. The ghost of Bumblebee urged Starscream to hand over Chromia. Starscream instead opted to free Chromia and turn her into a hit-bot to hunt down and kill [[Liege Maximo]], offering her a pardon in exchange, as well as saying he&#039;d lost his own chance to be better, telling Chromia not to waste hers. {{storylink|Heavy}} Starscream and [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] provided Chromia with the &#039;&#039;[[Sabre]]&#039;&#039;, with [[Greenlight]] and [[Lancer]] as her crew, while the Camien herself recorded a goodbye message for Windblade, encouraging her friend to stay strong while she was away. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after setting out, however, the crew ran afoul of the [[Maximal]]s. Though they managed to triumph over their foes, the Maximals had damaged the &#039;&#039;Sabre&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s long range communication, leaving them unable to contact [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Liege Maximo returned to Cybertron as a prisoner of [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]], Windblade asked whether the bestial Prime had encountered Chromia or her team. Onyx chose to ignore the question and grill [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] instead. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the &#039;&#039;Sabre&#039;&#039; finally repaired its communications, the crew had caught up with the [[Decepticon Vengeance Division]] facing off against [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] in [[G Nebula 89]]. Calling Cybertron, Chromia was quickly caught up on the recent political changes before she reported that, despite their incredible firepower, the Decepticons were failing to damage the Chaos Bringer. Unicron unleashing the Maximals on the Decepticons was enough incentive for Chromia to order a quantum jump back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Sabre&#039;&#039; arrived back home to find Unicron had beaten them there and assumed a robot mode to attack the planet, while having warped the DVD into his service. Acting as a coordinator, Chromia tried to deter [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] from charging head-on to no success, the Carcerian confident in her plan. {{storylink|Our Finest}}&lt;br /&gt;

She has multiple clear-plastic &amp;quot;[[energon]]&amp;quot; parts that form side-thrusters in bike mode, and combine to form a massive compound bow with a spring-loaded missile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The toy was originally intended to be [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]], but [[Fun Publications]] could not secure the [[trademark]] on the name. As such, Chromia&#039;s toy is in Moonracer&#039;s teal and white colors and has a head that resembles Moonracer&#039;s. (Fun Publications&#039; intent was for the head to be a compromise between the Moonracer and Firestar head designs.)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/e39fbfb4b4bd2b3a alt.toys.transformers post] by [[Lanny Lathem]] explaining the Moonracer/Chromia SNAFU.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/timelines/descent/chromia Chromia toy notes at BWTF.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Later Fun Publications stories would [[repurposing|repurpose]] the Chromia toy as Moonracer.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Chromia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe Class, 2014)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Series / Number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;02 / #022&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Rifle&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations#Thrilling 30|Generations: Thrilling 30]]&#039;&#039; Chromia is a heavy [[retool]] of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; [[Arcee (WFC)#Robots in Disguise|Arcee]], transforming into a Cybertronian motorbike. Her blaster weapon can be mounted on the bottom of her bike mode. Originally scheduled for March 2014 along with [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Generations|Arcee]], Chromia was delayed to fall of that year and ultimately not released until December.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hasbro&#039;s [[:File:Generations Chromia stock photo edited.jpg|original stock photo for the figure]] depicting a hand-painted prototype (which is also featured on the back of the toy&#039;s packaging) showed her holding one of her [[wave]]-mate Arcee&#039;s guns along with her own. This was most certainly due to a mix-up error; the weapon&#039;s design, especially the size and shape of its handle and additional pegs (which are identical to those of Arcee&#039;s other weapon), make it very obvious that it was always intended to go with Arcee rather than Chromia. A [[:File:Generations Chromia Second Stock Photo.jpg|different version of the stock photo]] was released in November 2014 on the official &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Facebook page, with the extra gun edited out. Some specimens of Chromia also feature a sticker on the back of the packaging that says &amp;quot;Additional weapon not included.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to the nature of her transformation, Chromia&#039;s paint is extremely prone to chipping, especially the white paint on her head. Caution and care is recommended when transforming her to avoid damaging her paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original version of this sculpt was also used to make [[BotCon 2014]] [[Flareup (G1)#BotCon2014|Flareup]], and was &#039;&#039;differently&#039;&#039; retooled to make &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime: Beast Hunters]]&#039;&#039; [[Arcee (WFC)#Beast Hunters|Arcee]]. This version of the mold served as the model for the non-toy &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]&#039;&#039; version of [[Blackarachnia (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Blackarachnia]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;Combiner Hunters&#039;&#039; [[redeco]] of Chromia not only has many of her coloring details changed, but in fact mostly stands out for its new accessory: a huge [[Primeon Blade]] sword. The tooling for this weapon was originally used for the 16&amp;quot;-tall electronic version of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;[[Titan Heroes]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#ETitan|Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;

In the U.S., this set was [[exclusive]] to the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website and the Hasbro Toy Shop booth at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2015. In Asia, it was also available at Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong 2015 and subsequently stocked by Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us Hong Kong. Later, it was also available at The Falcon&#039;s Hangar booth at Singapore Toy, Game &amp;amp; Comic Convention 2015.&lt;br /&gt;

Despite &#039;&#039;looking&#039;&#039; similar to [[Moonracer (G1)#Toys|Moonracer]]/[[Firestar (G1)#Toys|Novastar]]&#039;s toy from &#039;&#039;[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]&#039;&#039;, she is a new mold, transforms differently, and cannot transform into a limb for a &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039;-style combiner. She includes the &amp;quot;RT-5 Anti-thermo Blaster,&amp;quot; a gun compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Two &amp;quot;EMP-Grenades&amp;quot; can connect to the barrel, and the &amp;quot;SR Hushfuze&amp;quot; scope can be detached and can extend the barrel as well, allowing you to change the length of the barrel and/or scope. The grenades can also attach to the back of the vehicle, as if they are big exhaust pipes. As with all non-gimmick &#039;&#039;Siege&#039;&#039; figures, Chromia features &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; paint applications on her vehicle mode front. She also features multiple hardpoints all over herself and her weapon to accommodate &amp;quot;Fire Blasts&amp;quot; from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Chromia-Sarah Stone-WindbladeV1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Though other female Transformers may be more well known, Chromia holds the distinction of being the first female Transformer to appear in ANY media. She&#039;s the first of the Female Autobots to appear on screen in &amp;quot;The Search for Alpha Trion&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Though the first to appear in any media, [[Minerva (Masterforce human)|Minerva]] was the first female Autobot to receive a toy, and [[Freezon]] the first female Transformer to receive one (though due to a retcon). That being said, Chromia finally did get a toy as a Botcon exclusive 20 years after her debut, and a mass-released figure in the &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; line 29 years after her debut. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Chromia&#039;&#039;&#039; is a seasoned, tough-as-nails infiltrator who&#039;s adept at unflinching sabotage. Bluntly honest and a little married to her job, she doesn&#039;t make an ideal friend, but she can nevertheless be fiercely protective, a quality which also makes her an exceptional bodyguard. Her rough edges often find her a kinship with other like-minded security officers such as [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. More diplomatic peers such as [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] have attempted to socialize her, but beware—she might &amp;quot;arrange&amp;quot; an exit out of an overwhelming interpersonal situation with a quietly-placed detonator.  &lt;br /&gt;

Four million years ago, Chromia tried to board the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], while it was being attacked, with the rest of Elita One&#039;s team. The plan failed though, and she and the others appeared to be destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia led a mission to steal [[energon cube]]s from [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]]. When [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] got trapped after disobeying orders, Chromia confronted the alerted Shockwave and managed to trick him into freeing Moonracer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly thereafter, a team of [[Decepticon]]s from [[Earth]] came to capture Elita One. In doing so, [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] destroyed the Female Autobots&#039; underground base, trapping them inside. When they managed to free themselves, Chromia took charge of the search for their missing leader. On their way, they met up with a group of Earth-stationed Autobots who had come looking for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and Chromia was reunited with [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]]. The two teams together fought the Decepticons, eventually winning when Optimus and Elita returned. Given a new base by [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], Chromia stayed with Elita&#039;s squad on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when Optimus&#039; team returned to Earth. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}&lt;br /&gt;

Chromia and the rest of the team defeated a gigantic Decepticon. Chromia and her compatriots seemed confident that they could retake Cybertron on their own, though Elita One insisted that Optimus Prime was still their last hope to win the war. {{storylink|The Transformers (MC Axis manga)|The Transformers: Elita One}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Tigatron]] of the [[Legends World]] had a dream in which Chromia appeared before him and warned him he was in danger, soon followed by all kinds of heroic female Transformers. Sure enough, a group of evil female Transformers then showed up to kidnap Tigatron, but Chromia picked him up and kept him safe during the ensuing battle. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 11|Bonus Edition Vol. 11}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During [[Halloween]], Alpha Trion summoned the real Chromia into the Legends Universe to help stop [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]&#039;s latest grab for energy. Dressed up as a bunny girl, she confronted Megatron and his underlings alongside Arcee and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], though she was confused and embarrassed as to why it being Halloween meant she had to dress like that. The three were then defeated and tied up by [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], but it turned out the Decepticons hadn&#039;t gotten any energy anyway. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 17|Bonus Edition Vol. 17}} Tigatron later had another dream of Chromia in which she explained that her new body was the result of changing armor parts, displayed her new altmode and ability to fly, and traded armors with Arcee. {{Storylink|Transformers Legends: Chromia Chapter|Chromia Chapter}} Chromia later swooned over the [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] from her home universe when he crossed over to the Legends Universe. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 19|Bonus Edition Vol. 19}} Chromia and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] were tied up by [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] during his mission to send all interdimensional visitors to the Legends Universe back to where they came from, though he eventually gave up and allowed them to stay. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 20|Bonus Edition Vol. 20}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While acting as cheerleaders at a soccer game for whatever reason, Chromia and the other girls found themselves being harassed by [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 29|Bonus Edition Vol. 29}} After [[Metroplex (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Metroplex]] was sold off to the [[Tera-Kura Co.|Decepticon Tera-Kura Co.]], Chromia joined the Decepticon organization so that she could remain with the city-bot. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 31|Bonus Edition Vol. 31}} As Alpha Trion had done the same, she was near him when he was looking for his [[10.2 ultra-drill|ultra-drill]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 33|Bonus Edition Vol. 33}} As an office worker she wore a snazzy suit, though [[Apeface]] ripped it to pieces while displaying his telekinetic powers. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 38|Bonus Edition Vol. 38}} She later started taking [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]&#039;s new commuter service to work, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 40|Bonus Edition Vol. 40}} and was exasperated with Alpha Trion when he lost his drill again. {{storylink|LG-43 Trypticon Project Chapter}}&lt;br /&gt;

To gather energy for the energy-sapped Autobots, a crew was formed to pilot the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039;. Chromia was to be part of the crew, but a Decepticon attack blocked her and others from reaching the ship before it departed. Soon after, as their current reserve of energies was dangerously low, Chromia joined her comrades still on the planet in stasis hibernation as an energy-saving measure. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}&lt;br /&gt;

Chromia was a member of an elite squad of five warriors under the command of the [[Quintesson]]s. [[The Route of All Evil|Following a report]] from their Autobot sleeper agent, [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], that the awaited situation to commence their mission had come, [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] used a [[space bridge]] to get to the [[Autobase]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Chromia and the others waited patiently for her to signal that they could follow. Chromia joined her commander soon after it came. With only [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] still to get through the portal, the group was attacked by [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]], but [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] and Elita One took care of that. While the rest of the team went further into the Autobot facility, Chromia was sent back to [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]] with an unconscious [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. {{storylink|Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Issue 11|Generation 1 #11}}&lt;br /&gt;

Chromia and her ward [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]] were part of an Autobot strike force tasked with destroying the [[Decepticon]] general [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]&#039; cloning lab on [[Ceti Alpha Seven]]. Although the pair had handily beaten Deathsaurus&#039;s [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] underling [[Buzzclaw (G1)|Buzzclaw]] on [[Regulon Four]] some time previous, they were taken by surprise by the first production run of clones. Although Chromia fought effectively against the clones, she was no match for Deathsaurus himself when he entered the battle personally. Falling before the general&#039;s might, she was taken captive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia, along with her teammates &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; the backup team of Ironhide and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], was ultimately rescued when [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]], who had evaded capture, came to the rescue of the entire Autobot party. {{storylink|Descent into Evil}}&lt;br /&gt;

One erroneous account presented Chromia as a Cybertronian, who was among those attended [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]]&#039;s funeral. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} However, every other account shows that Chromia was born from the hot spot contained in the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Caminus (Titan)|Caminus]], who founded [[Caminus (planet)|a distant colony in his name]] that was cut off from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] long before the war and whose citizens retained differentiated genders. Her people&#039;s isolation ended with the arrival of [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]], who had come seeking help from a [[Cityspeaker]] in order to aid [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. The chosen Cityspeaker, [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], needed a bodyguard, however, and so Chromia (and [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]]) were enlisted. {{storylink|A &#039;Bot and Her City|A Bot and Her City}} {{storylink|If I Know You}} The three joined the crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Vis Vitalis]]&#039;&#039; shortly before it crossed paths with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. The legendary Autobot was preoccupied with an important quest, so the three volunteered to watch after Metroplex for him and keep him alive. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} Under their watch, Metroplex&#039;s insides were besieged with invaders, so Chromia and Nautica hunted them down to confront them and fight them off, if necessary. They found a small group of robots and Chromia threatened to put the hurt down on them. {{storylink|The Dead Are Not Enough: Dark Cybertron Chapter 7|The Dead Are Not Enough}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their adversaries turned out to be fellow Autobots from the &#039;&#039;[[Lost Light]]&#039;&#039; who were battling an army of angered [[Ammonite]]s. Chromia and Nautica led them back to their boss, Windblade, who explained their mission, and subsequently the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039; was able to give Metroplex a jump, allowing him to [[space bridge|spacebridge]] back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} On arrival, they couldn&#039;t do much but hang on tight within Metroplex as the city-bot did battle with the [[Quintessa (IDW)|Necrotitan]]. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}} Following Metroplex&#039;s victory, Chromia and her pals got to mingle with the locals, including another female Autobot named [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]]. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} When [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]]&#039;s army of Ammonites invaded Cybertron, the three Camiens returned to Metroplex to convince him to fight the invaders. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}} Toward the end of the battle, [[Mainframe (G1)|Mainframe]] contacted Chromia to let them to know the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039; was about to ram [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]], though she got frustrated by the vague, dramatic way he phrased it. {{storylink|...And the Damage Done: Dark Cybertron Finale|...And the Damage Done}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia accompanied Nautica to her audition to join the crew of the &#039;&#039;Lost Light&#039;&#039;, helping out by keeping her friend&#039;s rambling to a minimum. Chromia and Windblade later attended [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]&#039;s trial. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}} The pair went to find cover when a group of Decepticons disrupted proceedings with the intent to rescue the defendant. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner&#039;s Guide|Predestination: A Beginner&#039;s Guide}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:BotAndHerCity-nottechnicallydawn.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Six months later, Chromia had stayed behind on Cybertron in order to protect and train Windblade as she performed her role as Metroplex&#039;s Cityspeaker. She was highly untrusting of Cybertron&#039;s elected ruler, [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]], though Windblade preferred to give him the benefit of the doubt. When Windblade sought advice on how to best interact with Starscream, Chromia scoffed at Windblade&#039;s choice of talking to the &amp;quot;mopey&amp;quot; [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]], but was visibly upset when Windblade teased her about telling Ironhide she described him as such. Later, Chromia accompanied Windblade as the pair investigated an area of the city that might reveal why Metroplex was suffering blackouts, and at the end of the day Chromia insisted they not over-exert themselves and reconvene in the morning. {{storylink|A &#039;Bot and Her City}} Chromia planted a bomb near where they&#039;d be, in an attempt to make Windblade return to Caminus. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} In the morning, when she and Windblade returned to the area, the bomb exploded, damaging Windblade. Chromia dragged her to medical care. {{storylink|A &#039;Bot and Her City}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Windblade3-altmodes.jpg|left|thumb|No, it&#039;s true, they actually elected Starscream.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia was guarding Windblade when Starscream paid her a visit, and afterwards encouraged Windblade to pursue the idea that Starscream was behind the bomb. Enlisting Ironhide&#039;s help, they followed up a lead in the form of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] whom Chromia had to physically tackle when he tried to run. Chromia stayed in [[Blurr (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Blurr]]&#039;s bar while Windblade went with Waspinator. After Windblade discovered Starscream was trying to mine ore from Metroplex, Chromia joined a team that went down to investigate. {{storylink|A Long Way Down}} They were attacked by the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and Chromia went instinctively to Windblade&#039;s aid, eventually managing to avoid being arrested when Starscream and Rattrap arrived. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}} She arranged for Metroplex&#039;s spacebridge to activate, {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} and organized a jail break, successfully springing Windblade and the others. As they headed for Metroplex, Windblade revealed that she believed Starscream wasn&#039;t behind the bomb. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pair rushed to Metroplex, where Chromia insisted Windblade merge with the Titan&#039;s mind. She fought with Starscream when he arrived, but he managed to injure Windblade and sliced off Chromia&#039;s right arm. Windblade, merged with Metroplex, was able to subdue him with the Titan&#039;s internal defenses and revealed she&#039;d discovered Chromia was behind the bomb. Though Chromia encouraged Windblade to make Metroplex jump back to Caminus, Windblade instead opted to shut the spacebridge down in favor of making a deal with Starscream. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was among the group present when [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] was brought back online, though she wasn&#039;t as enthusiastic about the event when she observed how happy Starscream was. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}} Chromia then participated in the violent arrest of the [[Firecon]]s, primary suspects in a series of murders, {{storylink|Quest for Fire}} and was present when they were locked up. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia and Ironhide found Windblade and Optimus Prime being attacked by Decepticons and Chromia managed to stop the fight through sheer force of intimidation. They retired to Metroplex to contemplate the spacebridge, now linked to Caminus. Optimus ordered Chromia and Ironhide to guard the portal; however they were unable to prevent [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] from taking [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] through. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} They headed through the portal with Starscream&#039;s forces and attacked Menasor. The giant briefly held Chromia in his fist until she broke free. In the end, the battle was decided when [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] joined in. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} Chromia was taking part in the subsequent cleanup on Caminus when [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] arrived and started smashing more things. As the giant started trying to smash the spacebridge, Chromia rallied those present to fight him until Superion and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] defeated him. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}} As Starscream returned to Cybertron, Chromia went with him to make sure no one started shooting. She was later back on Caminus when Menasor again went through the spacebridge and started fighting with the combiners already there. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} As a combiner incorporating Optimus joined the fight, Chromia led a group back through to Cybertron to help prevent the Decepticons there from attacking Caminus. {{storylink|All That Remains}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AnUneventfulNight-ChromiaVsArcee.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|&#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; Arcee vs. G1 Arcee.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Windblade and Chromia were returning to Cybertron through the spacebridge while Optimus communicated with [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}} To celebrate the union between Cybertron and Caminus, the Mistress of Flame declared an official holiday that saw Chromia temporarily don some Cityspeaker-style face paint for the occasion. While she was guarding the [[Enigma of Combination]] with a [[Badgeless]], Arcee stole the artifact. Chromia and Windblade pursued her into the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] where their confrontation was interrupted by the [[Torchbearer]]s. After the Torchbearers were merged into [[Victorion]], the trio fought to survive the giant&#039;s onslaught until Windblade managed to talk the giant into separating. Chromia later returned the Enigma and resumed guarding it. {{storylink|An Uneventful Night}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She and Windblade interceded in a quarrel between visiting Camiens and Decepticons, though Chromia was a little too aggressive with the Decepticons. Windblade left her to finish sorting things out. She later joined Windblade, Ironhide, and Blurr for a trip to [[Velocitron]], where they found themselves in the path of [[Delta]], a city fleeing a wall of fire. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade vol. 2 #4}} Chromia managed to encourage Ironhide into safely making it onto the city by staying by his side. She accompanied Windblade and [[Clocker (G1)|Clocker]] to inspect [[Navitas]], the Titan on which the city was built, and stood by as Windblade talked to the Titan directly. {{storylink|Race Against the Light}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When Windblade returned disappointed from [[Eukaris]] following the death of [[Chela]], Chromia believed she&#039;d done her best to save the Titan. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} Following the formation of the [[Council of Worlds]], Starscream declared [[Chosen One Day]], a new holiday. Windblade hugged Chromia and forgave her for past discretions...if only for a night. {{storylink|Choose Me}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia, Ironhide, and Windblade helped re-secure the spacebridge nexus after a gaggle of Decepticons stormed it. Chromia was present when Optimus Prime used the bridge to go to Earth and annex it in advance of [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]&#039;s invasion. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} Shortly after taking this drastic step, Optimus had a nightmare where he saw Windblade and Chromia bowing down before him. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} The real Chromia, meanwhile, had gone off to attend an emergency Council meeting to discuss this problem. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TheLineBetweenUs-ChromiaGoesToJail.jpg|thumb|left]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The uneasy peace on Cybertron was growing increasingly threatened by the distrust of the Badgeless, and compounded by a spree of [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgical]] attacks on several Decepticons within Iacon, including a supplier of parts to [[Vigilem|Carcer]]. The Committee moved to have [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] investigate the issue. When the meeting was adjourned, Chromia went off to spar with [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]. {{storylink|07:00:00}} Tensions boiled over after the suspicious death of [[Drunkatron|a disgruntled Decepticon]], and Chromia participated in a Council meeting that saw Ironhide step up as the new head of Cybertronian security. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] reawoke, Chromia was walking around in the Decepticon ghetto outside of Metroplex. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} On learning that Windblade was being forced to help Starscream because he knew of Chromia&#039;s actions in bombing Acrolight, Chromia took over decoding security footage related to Swindle&#039;s death and discovered the Decepticon&#039;s body had been taken by Wheeljack and Rattrap. She visited Wheeljack, only for the pair of them to be taken prisoner by the rest of the Combaticons, who forced Wheeljack to lead them to Swindle&#039;s brain-dead body. {{storylink|Things We Said We&#039;d Never Do}} After the Combaticons used the Enigma to merge into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], Chromia worked with Windblade to talk the Combaticons down, however Ironhide took matters into his own hands and blasted Bruticus. In the aftermath, Chromia coopted [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]]&#039;s broadcast to make a public confession of her actions in Acrolight, and was arrested by Ironhide. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia being in prison was later one of the factors Windblade mentioned that had demoralized her. {{storylink|Ping}} When a fleet of undead Titans arrived to destroy Cybertron (as they do), Chromia was marched onto a prison ship when Starscream gave the evacuation order. She broke the prison line to speak to Ironhide about Metroplex being felled and urged him to help Windblade who was doubtlessly with the Titan. Ironhide said Windblade was at the [[Spire]] (and he was right) and there was no need to worry but Chromia was convinced that without Ironhide, Windblade would do something stupid (she was also right). {{storylink|Desperate Times}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Said stupid thing turned out to be releasing [[Vigilem|Carcer]]. When the evil Titan made planetfall, Chromia rushed back to Ironhide to try and find Windblade, only for the irritable warden to grab her and stuff her in a prison cell to be killed by the undead. However, Metroplex managed to release her and direct her to Windblade&#039;s location with Carcer so she could free her friend. Chromia rushed to the Titan and scaled up his body, breaching his body and arriving at his [[brain module]] just as [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] had blown it into chunks, seemingly killing Windblade. {{storylink|Rubicon}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia was subsequently put back into prison and set to be tried for crimes against Cybertron. The [[Mistress of Flame]] attempted to get Starscream to turn Chromia over to her but when Starscream refused, she demanded Swindle and Menasor in exchange. The ghost of Bumblebee urged Starscream to hand over Chromia. Starscream instead opted to free Chromia and turn her into a hit-bot to hunt down and kill [[Liege Maximo]], offering her a pardon in exchange, as well as saying he&#039;d lost his own chance to be better, telling Chromia not to waste hers. {{storylink|Heavy}} Starscream and [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] provided Chromia with the &#039;&#039;[[Sabre]]&#039;&#039;, with [[Greenlight]] and [[Lancer]] as her crew, while the Camien herself recorded a goodbye message for Windblade, encouraging her friend to stay strong while she was away. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after setting out, however, the crew ran afoul of the [[Maximal]]s. Though they managed to triumph over their foes, the Maximals had damaged the &#039;&#039;Sabre&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s long range communication, leaving them unable to contact [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Liege Maximo returned to Cybertron as a prisoner of [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]], Windblade asked whether the bestial Prime had encountered Chromia or her team. Onyx chose to ignore the question and grill [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] instead. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the &#039;&#039;Sabre&#039;&#039; finally repaired its communications, the crew had caught up with the [[Decepticon Vengeance Division]] facing off against [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] in [[G Nebula 89]]. Calling Cybertron, Chromia was quickly caught up on the recent political changes before she reported that, despite their incredible firepower, the Decepticons were failing to damage the Chaos Bringer. Unicron unleashing the Maximals on the Decepticons was enough incentive for Chromia to order a quantum jump back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Sabre&#039;&#039; arrived back home to find Unicron had beaten them there and assumed a robot mode to attack the planet, while having warped the DVD into his service. Acting as a coordinator, Chromia tried to deter [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] from charging head-on to no success, the Carcerian confident in her plan. {{storylink|Our Finest}}&lt;br /&gt;

Chromia was part of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita 1]]&#039;s team which carried out a series of raids on Decepticon installations, until they were taken down in a trap planned by [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]]. {{storylink|Fatal Furies}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chromia was dispatched by Elita One in response to Flamewar&#039;s squad&#039;s retaliatory attacks on a number of Autobot bases. {{storylink|Fatal Furies: Flamewar&#039;s Revenge}}&lt;br /&gt;

Chromia participated in battles against a variety of opponents, both Autobots and Decepticons. Sometimes there were many of her! She was a Super Rare character who could be recruited by collecting 250 units of Cybermetal, 75 units of Transmetal, and 10 cores of this character. {{storylink|Transformers: Battle Tactics}}&lt;br /&gt;

: Available only as part of [[BotCon 2005]]&#039;s &amp;quot;Descent into Evil&amp;quot; set (along with [[Buzzclaw (G1)|Buzzclaw]], [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], [[Dirge (Timelines)|Dirge]], [[Outback (G1)|Fallback]], [[Ironhide (G1)/toys|Ironhide]] and [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]]), &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]&#039;&#039; Chromia is a [[retool]] of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]&#039;&#039; Energon Class [[Arcee (Energon)#Toys|Arcee]], transforming into a Cybertronic racing motorcycle. She has multiple clear-plastic &amp;quot;[[energon]]&amp;quot; parts that form side-thrusters in bike mode, and combine to form a massive compound bow with a spring-loaded missile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The toy was originally intended to be [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]], but [[Fun Publications]] could not secure the [[trademark]] on the name. As such, Chromia&#039;s toy is in Moonracer&#039;s teal and white colors and has a head that resembles Moonracer&#039;s. (Fun Publications&#039; intent was for the head to be a compromise between the Moonracer and Firestar head designs.)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/e39fbfb4b4bd2b3a alt.toys.transformers post] by [[Lanny Lathem]] explaining the Moonracer/Chromia SNAFU.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/timelines/descent/chromia Chromia toy notes at BWTF.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Later Fun Publications stories would [[repurposing|repurpose]] the Chromia toy as Moonracer.&lt;br /&gt;

====Thrilling 30====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Gen-toy Chromia.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.66|STILL the fastest thing on the Grid.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Chromia&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe Class, 2014)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Series / Number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;02 / #022&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Rifle&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations#Thrilling 30|Generations: Thrilling 30]]&#039;&#039; Chromia is a heavy [[retool]] of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; [[Arcee (WFC)#Robots in Disguise|Arcee]], transforming into a Cybertronian motorbike. Her blaster weapon can be mounted on the bottom of her bike mode. Originally scheduled for March 2014 along with [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Generations|Arcee]], Chromia was delayed to fall of that year and ultimately not released until December.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hasbro&#039;s [[:File:Generations Chromia stock photo edited.jpg|original stock photo for the figure]] depicting a hand-painted prototype (which is also featured on the back of the toy&#039;s packaging) showed her holding one of her [[wave]]-mate Arcee&#039;s guns along with her own. This was most certainly due to a mix-up error; the weapon&#039;s design, especially the size and shape of its handle and additional pegs (which are identical to those of Arcee&#039;s other weapon), make it very obvious that it was always intended to go with Arcee rather than Chromia. A [[:File:Generations Chromia Second Stock Photo.jpg|different version of the stock photo]] was released in November 2014 on the official &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Facebook page, with the extra gun edited out. Some specimens of Chromia also feature a sticker on the back of the packaging that says &amp;quot;Additional weapon not included.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to the nature of her transformation, Chromia&#039;s paint is extremely prone to chipping, especially the white paint on her head. Caution and care is recommended when transforming her to avoid damaging her paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original version of this sculpt was also used to make [[BotCon 2014]] [[Flareup (G1)#BotCon2014|Flareup]], and was &#039;&#039;differently&#039;&#039; retooled to make &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime: Beast Hunters]]&#039;&#039; [[Arcee (WFC)#Beast Hunters|Arcee]]. This version of the mold served as the model for the non-toy &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]&#039;&#039; version of [[Blackarachnia (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Blackarachnia]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;Combiner Hunters&#039;&#039; [[redeco]] of Chromia not only has many of her coloring details changed, but in fact mostly stands out for its new accessory: a huge [[Primeon Blade]] sword. The tooling for this weapon was originally used for the 16&amp;quot;-tall electronic version of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;[[Titan Heroes]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#ETitan|Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of Chromia was only available in a &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; [[giftset|gift set]] together with &#039;&#039;Combiner Hunters&#039;&#039; redecos of &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Arcee]] and [[Windblade (G1)#Combiner Wars|Windblade]], each with their own giant new melee weapons. In the U.S., this set was [[exclusive]] to the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website and the Hasbro Toy Shop booth at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2015. In Asia, it was also available at Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong 2015 and subsequently stocked by Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us Hong Kong. Later, it was also available at The Falcon&#039;s Hangar booth at Singapore Toy, Game &amp;amp; Comic Convention 2015.&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the second wave of &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class figures, Chromia transforms into a Cybertronian car.  Despite &#039;&#039;looking&#039;&#039; similar to [[Moonracer (G1)#Toys|Moonracer]]/[[Firestar (G1)#Toys|Novastar]]&#039;s toy from &#039;&#039;[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]&#039;&#039;, she is a new mold, transforms differently, and cannot transform into a limb for a &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039;-style combiner. She includes the &amp;quot;RT-5 Anti-thermo Blaster,&amp;quot; a gun compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Two &amp;quot;EMP-Grenades&amp;quot; can connect to the barrel, and the &amp;quot;SR Hushfuze&amp;quot; scope can be detached and can extend the barrel as well, allowing you to change the length of the barrel and/or scope. The grenades can also attach to the back of the vehicle, as if they are big exhaust pipes. As with all non-gimmick &#039;&#039;Siege&#039;&#039; figures, Chromia features &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; paint applications on her vehicle mode front. She also features multiple hardpoints all over herself and her weapon to accommodate &amp;quot;Fire Blasts&amp;quot; from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.&lt;br /&gt;

Her wheels feature more black and much of her bike kibble is coated in metallic blue paint, including the back half of her canopy, which is now cast in translucent blue. Her eyes are also painted blue. Chromia comes with a leaflet featuring a character profile, tech specs, and the mini-manga &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Legends]]&#039;&#039; [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 11|Bonus Edition Vol. 11]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chromia-Sarah Stone-WindbladeV1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Though other female Transformers may be more well known, Chromia holds the distinction of being the first female Transformer to appear in ANY media. She&#039;s the first of the Female Autobots to appear on screen in &amp;quot;The Search for Alpha Trion&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Though the first to appear in any media, [[Minerva (Masterforce human)|Minerva]] was the first female Autobot to receive a toy, and [[Freezon]] the first female Transformer to receive one (though due to a retcon). That being said, Chromia finally did get a toy as a Botcon exclusive 20 years after her debut, and a mass-released figure in the &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; line 29 years after her debut. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;First 4 Figures&#039;&#039;&#039; is a United Kingdom and Hong Kong-based toy and model company known for manufacturing high-end collectible figures and statues. Established in 2003, their licenses have included Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Super Mario, Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Alchemist, Spyro the Dragon, and Sonic the Hedgehog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beginning in 2005, First 4 Figures announced plans for a number of statues and bust lines, based on various Transformers properties of the day. The most notable and ambitious of these, the Transformers Battlefield line, was envisioned as a series of interlocking dioramas featuring a variety of Generation One characters. The first release featured a conflict between [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron, and included a number of interchangeable parts including a second head for Megatron with detachable helmet and an extra hand for Optimus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First 4 Figures also produced statues based on the [[Devil&#039;s Due Press]] [[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers]] crossover, specifically a rendering of Storm Shadow atop the disembodied head of Optimus Prime [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise|Optimus Prime]], as well as a version of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise|Optimus Prime]], depicted as a transformed HISS Tank, holding a battle-ready Snake Eyes. Other proposed cross-over statues, including a sculpted Baroness and Ravage, were later cancelled due to poor retail interest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further in 2005, First 4 Figures partnered with fansite tfw2005.com on a contest to create a fan-designed super deformed original Transformers statue. The top ten entries were announced in October 2005, and included renderings of ultimate winner, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise|Ultra Magnus]], along with Cosmos, Jazz, Shockwave, Unicron, Skybyte, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Jazz and Trypticon.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.toymania.com/news/messages/7662.shtml&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; All entries were later incorporated into a collage-style poster made available through the First 4 Figures website. &lt;br /&gt;
They also produced G1 film cells for sale through their website.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.tfw2005.com/2005/10/05/limited-edition-transformers-g1-filmcells-from-first4figures-3692&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;First 4 Figures&#039;&#039;&#039; is a United Kingdom and Hong Kong-based toy and model company known for manufacturing high-end collectible figures and statues. Established in 2003, their licenses have included Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Super Mario, Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Alchemist, Spyro the Dragon, and Sonic the Hedgehog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beginning in 2005, First 4 Figures announced plans for a number of statues and bust lines, based on various Transformers properties of the day. The most notable and ambitious of these, the Transformers Battlefield line, was envisioned as a series of interlocking dioramas featuring a variety of Generation One characters. The first release featured a conflict between Optimus Prime [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Merchandise]]and Megatron, and included a number of interchangeable parts including a second head for Megatron with detachable helmet and an extra hand for Optimus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also in 2005, First 4 Figures partnered with fansite tfw2005.com on a contest to create a fan-designed super deformed original Transformers statue. The top ten entries were announced in October 2005, and included renderings of ultimate winner, Ultra Magnus[[Ultra Magus (G1)/Merchandise]], along with Cosmos, Jazz, Shockwave, Unicron, Skybyte, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Jazz and Trypticon.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.toymania.com/news/messages/7662.shtml&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; All entries were later incorporated into a collage-style poster made available through the First 4 Figures website. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First 4 Figures produced statues based on the Dreamwave GIJoe verses the Transformers crossover, specifically a rendering of Storm Shadow atop the disembodied head of Optimus Prime [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Merchandise]], as well as a version of Optimus Prime[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Merchandise]], depicted as a transformed HISS Tank, holding a battle-ready Snake Eyes. Other proposed cross-over statues, including a sculpted Baroness and Ravage, were later cancelled due to poor retail interest.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] has always looked and will always look a lot like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. There are many [[Starscream (G1)/toys|toys of Starscream]] and where there is a Starscream toy, a Thundercracker toy (usually) soon follows.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
==Toys==&lt;br /&gt;
===Generation 1===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:G1toy thundercracker.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Thundercracker&#039;&#039;&#039; (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985/1986)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;24&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left &amp;amp; right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 incendiary guns, 2 rockets, left &amp;amp; right wings, left &amp;amp; right tail fins, left &amp;amp; right tail wings, landing gear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Originally a &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Jet Robo Acrobat-Type&amp;quot;, Thundercracker transforms into a metallic blue F-15 Eagle fighter jet. His transformation essentially involves removing and reattaching most of his plane parts, though it is possible to do so without removing &#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039; of them, the way the instructions tell you to. As a result of his rather piecemeal design and the fact that neither mode uses all his parts, it can be quite difficult to find an intact original Thundercracker on the secondary market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thundercracker is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in [[robot mode]], and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short rockets are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Thundercracker&#039;s incendiary guns. The original &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the earliest releases of Thundercracker were basically identical to its &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; predecessor, some small modifications were soon made to the figure which became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. These included the hollowing out of the inner edges of his wings and the tips of his tail-wings, the lengthening of the pegs on his wings, and the addition of extra clips on the inner sides of his fist-gauntlets, allowing them to grip his arms better but creating a visible slit on them. Like all his 1984 brethren, Thundercracker gained a factory-applied [[rubsign]] in 1985, which was added to the left side of his fuselage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thundercracker ceased to be shipped to toy stores in 1986, but continued to be available as a mail-away item in the &amp;quot;[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]&amp;quot; flier packed with most boxed &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toys. He cost $10 and two [[Robot Point|robot points]]. He has been [[Generation 1 reissues|reissue]]d several further times down through the years; this article strives to list each separate release under its own header.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thundercracker shares his mold with his simultaneously-released teammates [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]], and was later [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. This mold was also [[retool]]ed into [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Thundercracker&#039;&#039;&#039; (Action Master Exo-suit, 1991)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Solo Mission Jet Plane, sonic boom blaster, 2 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Released only in European and Australasian markets, [[Action Master]] Thundercracker is, once again, a [[redeco]] of Starscream, a non-transforming action figure that combined elements of both the character&#039;s cartoon model and toy-form. Like all Action Masters, Thundercracker came with a transformable accessory — in his case, a Solo Mission Jet Plane vehicle resembling an F-117 Nighthawk that converted into [[Action Master Exo-suit|exo-suit]] battle armor. For whatever reason, Action Master Thundercracker forewent any attempt at rendering the character in his traditional blue and silver color scheme, but instead opted for a fantastically nauseating blend of magenta, purple, blue, gold, and two shades of green that would become the stuff of legend as the ultimate example of the flair this era&#039;s European Transformers had for the [[neon|gaudy]]. In fact, this slightly horrifying color scheme would later be used for &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]&#039;&#039; [[Thundercracker (SG)|Thundercracker]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Thundercracker&#039;&#039;&#039; (Basic, 1996)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Two-part rifle&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Sharing a mold once again with [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Skywarp]], Thundercracker transforms into a green Dassault Rafale fighter jet with spring-loaded one-step transformation from jet to robot. The two halves of his rifle store in his lower legs. Like all &#039;&#039;[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]&#039;&#039; toys, Thundercracker was an [[exclusive]] to Kay-Bee stores and related stores like Toy Liquidators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was originally developed for &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039;, but was canceled when that line went under. It is unknown if it was intended to be a new character or a recurring one, though odds are it would have been later [[redeco]]ed into a recurring character if the former was true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]&#039;&#039; [[Dirge (BWII)#Toys|Dirge]], &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; [[Skyfire (RID)#Toys|Skyfire]], &#039;&#039;[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]&#039;&#039; [[Wingstun#Toys|Wingstun]], and the &amp;quot;[[Dawn of Future&#039;s Past]]&amp;quot; version of [[Waspinator (BW)/toys#Timelines|Waspinator]]. The toy was repurposed as the [[Thundercracker drone]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

:The original Thundercracker toy was reissued for the first time in 2001 as part of Takara&#039;s small &#039;&#039;[[Collector&#039;s Edition]]&#039;&#039; series, which made several Generation 1 toys available as convention [[exclusive]]s. Sold in new open-faced packaging with no notable changes from the original figure, Thundercracker was an exclusive at the Japanese science fiction convention &amp;quot;Super Festival 21&amp;quot;, available only in a set with Skywarp and limited to 1000 pieces. The pair are often mistakenly identified as [[e-HOBBY]] exclusives.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The original Thundercracker toy was made available again as part of Hasbro&#039;s line of [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] reissues in. Released in the third wave of the series, it featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. His incendiary guns didn&#039;t turn out &#039;&#039;too&#039;&#039; bad, but as you can see, the once-small rockets just wound up looking &#039;&#039;stupid&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the third wave of &#039;&#039;[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]&#039;&#039; product (dubbed wave &amp;quot;2.5&amp;quot; and available only at CVS stores in Japan), Thundercracker is, of course, a redeco of this line&#039;s Starscream. Like all toys in the series, he is a tiny, simplified version of the original Generation 1 toy, transforming into an F-15 fighter jet. As with all previous waves of &#039;&#039;Smallest Transforming Transformers&#039;&#039;, these figures were sold [[blindpacking|blindpacked]], with Thundercracker as one of the wave&#039;s two rare [[chase figure]]s (the other being a cartoon-colored version of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s [[Combat Deck (G1)|trailer]]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]&#039;&#039; Thundercracker is a redeco of [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] from the same series, a smaller yet more advanced version of the original toy, adding more articulation and reducing the amount of [[Partformer|part-forming]] required. He was available only in a two-pack with [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]], which also came with a Decepticon sigil pin and chromed missile pods. This set was the very last product released in the &#039;&#039;Robotmasters&#039;&#039; line, and wasn&#039;t even strictly sold in a box from that series; instead, it used an e-Hobby Generation 1 reissue box, with a small &#039;&#039;Robotmasters&#039;&#039; sticker in the corner tab noting its origin from the front.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Left &amp;amp; right launchers, 2 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Much clamored for by fans following the release of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]&#039;&#039; Starscream and Skywarp in order to complete the original Seeker trio, &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]&#039;&#039;/&#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Thundercracker was eventually released as part of the &amp;quot;Games of Deception&amp;quot; boxset exclusive to [[BotCon 2007]], along with [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Timelines|Bugbite]], [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Timelines|Dirge]], [[Dreadwind (G1)#Timelines|Dreadwind]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys#Timelines|Thrust]], only 1500 of which were produced. He is, naturally, a [[redeco]] of the &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Starscream toy, using the slightly modified version of the mold first seen with Skywarp which features shoulders with a decreased slope and a fifth rectangular marking. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Like the other entries in the &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; series, Thundercracker is a faithful &amp;quot;modernizing&amp;quot; of his original Generation 1 form, updating his original toy with modern standards of toy engineering, transformation, sculpting detail and articulation. He still transforms into an F-15 Eagle, but has the nose of an {{w|F-14 Tomcat}} fighter jet, and sports a shade of blue closer to that of his &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; progenitor. As ever, he is armed with a pair of missile launchers, which can mount under his wings, on his shoulders, or in his fists, and fire spring-loaded projectiles. The large size of the missiles (necessary for safety reasons) restricts his arm movement somewhat in robot mode, as they bump into his wings. Like all &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; figures, he has a heat-activated rubsign, positioned along his fuselage as on his original toy.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 missile launchers (left and right), 2 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]&#039;&#039; Thundercracker is a Genbo store exclusive redeco of &#039;&#039;Henkei! Henkei!&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]]. He features a metallic flake blue version of his cartoon color scheme, rather than his darker blue Generation 1 toy colour scheme. &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; Thundercracker and his fellow [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]] were opened for pre-order on [[May 22]]nd through [[June 20]], and mailed out in September 2008. A second batch was made available on [[November 6]]th, 2008. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soon after release, there were numerous complaints from both Japanese and Western collectors about the poor quality control for both Thundercracker and Skywarp. Thundercracker in particular suffered from a widespread issue where his missile launchers did not fit into the holes in his shoulders, due to the holes being too big. Some reported both toys suffering misassembly issues such as having two left or two right thighs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Several minor changes were made to this mold for this release. The holes for his missile launchers in his arms were widened, but not the launcher&#039;s insertion pegs. The wing&#039;s missile launcher insertion points were lengthened and are now curved at the end. The last rectangle on his air intakes, was further modified from the Classics version this time the bottom most rectangle goes completely across the air intake&#039;s surface rather than just the center. &#039;&#039;Henkei! Henkei!&#039;&#039; Skywarp and &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Generation 1 Series|Starscream]] also saw most of these changes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The second release (while extremely limited) did not see any of the quality control issues of the early, more heavily produced release. This version of Thundercracker uses the 2nd version of the Classics Seeker mold that was reinstated with [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Henkei.21 Henkei.21|Ghost Starscream]] and all subsequent releases thus far. Oddly these versions of Thundercracker do not feature a date stamp etched into his leg like the earlier release.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-7&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 &amp;quot;Machine Guns&amp;quot;, 2 AIM missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot, Megatron Gun clasp, display stand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A redeco of &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]], &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Thundercracker eschews the cartoon accuracy that the line normally strives for, transforms into a highly-accurate F-15 Eagle while sporting a more stylized robot mode. He comes with all the features and accessories included with the previous release of the mold: flip-up missile racks built into his pectorals, a two-piece display stand that can be configured to display the figure in mid-flight in either jet or robot mode, a miniature [[Doctor Arkeville]] figurine that fits in his cockpit (now cast in blue plastic), a clip to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime in jet-mode, and an extensive sheet of optional stickers to allow buyers to customize him to their liking. Also like Starscream and Skywarp, Thundercracker features a rotating face with two swappable expressions; a normal, stoic gaze (retooled from Starscream&#039;s original one, despite the popular misconception that it is the same) and a new growling glare, replete with bared teeth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Some &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Thundercrackers feature an assembly error: His left and right pectorals are flipped. This misassembly does not affect transformation at all, and is most noticeable when compared to prior &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Seekers. The 2008 pressing of &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Skywarp also features this part swap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was also used for the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; version of [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Skywarp]]. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure, [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|Starscream]], which was then redecoed to create [[Sunstorm (G1)#Masterpiece|Sunstorm]] and [[Acid Storm (G1)#Masterpiece|Acid Storm]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Like [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Masterpiece11SW|MP11SW Skywarp]], but unlike MP-11 Starscream and the cartoon, the insignias on his wings are the correct way up in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;A-04&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thundercracker is a redeco of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]&#039;&#039; [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Alternity|Skywarp]], transforming into a licensed 1:32 scale {{w|Mitsuoka Orochi}}. Thundercracker replaces Skywarp&#039;s purple, flat black, light purple, and metallic gray for metallic blue, glossy black, light blue, and silver. Like the other toys in the line, he features [[die-cast]] metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. This is also currently the only &#039;&#039;Alternity&#039;&#039; mold to feature [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|a fake kibble chest]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In car mode, small wings are &#039;&#039;supposed to&#039;&#039; be able to flip out from under Thundercracker&#039;s rear wheels, giving him the appearance of a flying car. Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath &#039;&#039;deforming the rims and chipping the tires&#039;&#039;. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s &#039;&#039;very easily&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;Alternity&#039;&#039; [[Banzai-Tron (G1)#Alternity|Banzai-Tron]], while the original version of it was used by &#039;&#039;Alternity&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Alternity|Starscream]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This version of Thundercracker features a darker blue than both the greenish-blue of the BotCon release, and the blue of the &#039;&#039;Henkei! Henkei!&#039;&#039; release.

Thundercracker&#039;s deco is slightly different from the EZ collection figure, omitting the black paint on his shins in favor of giving him full-color [[Decepticon]] [[insignia]]s on his wings, and a black painted nosecone. He comes with two compatible guns that are heavily based on Generation 1 Thundercracker&#039;s Incendiary Guns (based more on the [[character model|animation model]] rather than the original toy). Each gun features two posts, allowing them to mount/be held in different ways. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Originally developed by Hasbro Asia for release in their territories, Thundercracker was later released together with various other formerly &amp;quot;Asian market exclusive&amp;quot; toys as a [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us|ToysЯUs]] exclusive in the [[United States of America|United States]] for the 2012 holiday season.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the sixth wave of [[2012]]-onwards &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class toys, &#039;&#039;[[Thrilling 30]]&#039;&#039; Thundercracker is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Generations: [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; Starscream, and transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. He comes with two spinning, triple-barreled cannons which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the [[Neutron assault rifle]] from &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039;. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Thundercracker features numerous 5mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thundercracker&#039;s tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle&#039;s top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], and store on his back in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thundercracker is minimally mis-transformed in-package: his jet mode nosecone is extended, rather than folded in as it should be in robot mode. He comes packaged with a copy of [[IDW Publishing|IDW&#039;s]] &#039;&#039;[[The Hunting Party (IDW)|Spotlight: Thundercracker]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Japanese release of Thundercracker features a shiny metallic finish and an orange canopy, as well as a few different paint details such as black kneecaps and silver on his face and gun barrels. He was sold exclusively at select Edion, Yodobashi Camera, Yamada Denki, and Best Denki stores, and did not come with a comic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite using a mold and deco matching [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]]&#039;s appearance in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, this toy &#039;&#039;technically&#039;&#039; represents G1 Thundercracker, thanks to his [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] pack-in fiction. Consequently, the toy is listed in the former&#039;s page as a [[repurposing]]. This toy was also utilized as &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]&#039;&#039; Thundercracker and was also redecoed into TakaraTomy &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039; [[Skywarp (WFC)#Generations|Skywarp]] as well as &#039;&#039;Thrilling 30&#039;&#039; [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Generations|Skywarp]]. Compared to the Starscream and Skywarp versions however, Thundercracker&#039;s joints are considerably looser for reasons unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Thundercracker is an extensive retool of &#039;&#039;Generations Thrilling 30&#039;&#039; Leader Class [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Generations|Jetfire]], replacing the head, chest, upper arms, and wings so as to resemble the same Guidi design as the preceding Legends Class figure. He transforms from a robot into a jet fighter, and includes Jetfire&#039;s original missile launcher and four limb-mounted weapons, plus two new guns based on the traditional Seeker arm rifles. He also features a faux cockpit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thundercracker does not include Jetfire&#039;s &amp;quot;Turbo Thruster&amp;quot; booster pack accessory, but is still compatible with it. In an undocumented feature, any of his other guns can be mounted on the sides of his missile launcher, or all of them can be combined together to create an enormous multi-barreled weapon.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]&#039;&#039; Thundercracker is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Legends Class Starscream. He transforms into an F-15 with many fuselage details borrowed from the Masterpiece version. This is the first Seeker mold in many years to attempt an entirely new transformation, with the arms now forming the rear of the jet and the legs folding under the wings. Thundercracker was available only in Japan, and like many Japanese &amp;quot;EZ Collection&amp;quot; toys, is [[blindpacking|blindpacked]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Surprisingly, Thundercracker was made available months before Starscream was released in the same line.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Two AIM missile racks, hologram pilot, Megatron gun clasp, display stand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A redeco of the newer &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 Starscream]] mold, [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;]] Thundercracker features some extensive retooling to wind the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Seeker design back into Kawamori&#039;s original, more Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered Incendiary Guns attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Other than the replaced incendiary guns, Thundercracker comes with all the accessories included with the previous releases of the mold, with Dr. Arkeville being replaced with the newer hologram pilot figurine. He features several whimsical [[tampograph]]s, which include Thundercracker holding [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] in tape deck mode, [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]] in camera mode, &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;D-24&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; (Thundercracker&#039;s Japanese line designation), and various call outs to Hasbro designers, such as &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Joe Kyde|LTC Joe &#039;Big Daddy&#039; Kyde]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Cpt. J. &#039;Dragon&#039; Sass&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;. The stock photos of the figure (as shown to the right), however, show all-red Reflector tampographs on the front of his shoulders; on the actual production toy, Reflector appears in full color on the &#039;&#039;back&#039;&#039; of the shoulders (visible on the sides of Thundercracker&#039;s jet mode), while the front of his shoulders features the &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; angled shoulder stripes, colored red to match his &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Curiously, the accessories, packaging, and instructions for Masterpiece Thundercracker are all specific to the older version of the mold (prior to the changes for MP-11 Starscream), and the packaging recycles the [[package art]] from &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; Thundercracker and features no pictures of the actual toy itself. The figure may have been intended for release with the older version of the Masterpiece Seeker mold before changes were made to use the newer version of the mold.&lt;br /&gt;

: This version of Thundercracker is heavily based on his cartoon appearance. He features a light blue (lighter than the Henkei!

Instead of using [[Blitzwing (G1)#Construct-Bots|Blitzwing]]&#039;s wing and gatling gun parts, Thundercracker uses Triple-Changer [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Construct-Bots|Bumblebee]]&#039;s wing, back armor, and nosecone parts, as well as [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Construct-Bots|Megatron]]&#039;s blasters. &lt;br /&gt;

:Thundercracker was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;keshigomu&#039;&#039; figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Thundercracker was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. He is, surprisingly enough, &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; identical to either Starscream or Skywarp: the stance of his legs and the position of his Decepticon symbols differ, but he is, of course, most prominently distinguished by his raised right arm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thundercracker was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, in a peach coloration in several other box sets, including the Decepticon &amp;quot;Mini Mini Collection&amp;quot;, and in a wide variety of colours in &amp;quot;gachapon&amp;quot; capsule machines.&lt;br /&gt;

: The Thundercracker figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple &amp;quot;checklist&amp;quot; number (34, in Thundercracker&#039;s case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.&lt;br /&gt;

Like all the &#039;&#039;Heroes&#039;&#039; figures, he was cast entirely in translucent plastic then painted over, leaving his eyes and the back of his head unpainted to create a [[light-piping]] effect. Moreover, &#039;&#039;Heroes&#039;&#039; Thundercracker features grey pectorals instead of white, black forearms instead of grey (to match his helmet and feet), and a yellow cockpit instead of an orange one. He was sold in individual blister packaging with a profile card.&lt;br /&gt;

Many toys have been made of [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, enough to warrant this page!&lt;br /&gt;

===Generation 1===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:G1Starscream toy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|[[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Then]] [[Sunstorm (G1)|about]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|eight]] [[:File:G1BlackStarscream toy.jpg|million]] [[Seeker (body-type)|redecos]] [[E-HOBBY|followed]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Starscream&#039;&#039;&#039; (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985/1986)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;22&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left &amp;amp; right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null-rays, 2 cluster bombs, left &amp;amp; right wings, left &amp;amp; right tail fins, left &amp;amp; right tail wings, landing gear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Starscream&#039;s first toy began life as &amp;quot;Jet Robo&amp;quot; from the &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; line, transforming into a grey, red and blue F-15 Eagle fighter jet. To transform Starscream, one must essentially take most of his plane parts off and transform his body, then reattach most of plane parts on again, along with the addition of two blue fists. If you don&#039;t mind being fiddly, though, transformation can certainly be achieved by only removing the fists, weapons and landing gear (which can store in Starscream&#039;s cockpit). Owing to the modular nature of his design and the fact that it is impossible to store all the parts in either mode, it can be quite difficult to find an intact original set of this toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Starscream is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in robot mode, and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short &amp;quot;[[cluster bomb]]&amp;quot; projectiles are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Starscream&#039;s [[null-ray]]s. The original &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; version of the Starscream mold featured tailfins with solid tips and solid fists, and both these features carried over to the earliest &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; releases. Soon, however, the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; mold was modified to add hollow tips to the fins, and tabs to the insides of the fists to allow them to hold onto his arms tighter, resulting in a visible slit on either side of each one. These altered versions became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. Like all his 1984 brethren, a [[rubsign]] was added to Starscream in 1985.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Starscream&#039;s mold was [[redeco]]ed into the concurrently-available [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]]. It would later be redecoed again to make [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]], and [[retool]]ed into [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]]. On top of this, given his role as a major Generation 1 character, Starscream himself would be reissued many times down the years; this article strives to list each reissue of the figure under its own header. The long lifespan of his toy actually began in 1986, when Starscream remained part of the assortment for that year despite the departure of nearly every other 1984 toy from store shelves.&lt;br /&gt;

:The first new Starscream toy since the original brought the treacherous Air Commander back as a [[Classic Pretender]].

He is armed with a pair of blue lasers, which become his tail fins in jet mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Starscream&#039;s two-piece [[Pretender]] shell resembles a human in a teal, grey and brown space armored suit with a removable helmet. The shell is armed with a large blue rifle.

This version of Starscream featured a silver face, as opposed to the Hasbro version&#039;s black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Italy, [[GiG]] also forewent releasing the individual Classic Pretenders, and instead released their own version of the Hero Set named &amp;quot;Set Commandos&amp;quot;. Starscream was given the name &amp;quot;Tornado&amp;quot;, which was originally the Italian name of [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]].

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left &amp;amp; right fists, left &amp;amp; right wings, left &amp;amp; right tail fins, left &amp;amp; right tail wings, landing gear, 2 missile launchers, 3 missiles, sound/light energy unit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Starscream&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; release is a slight [[retool]] of his original toy, armed with new, functional spring-loaded launchers and missiles, and an electronic light-and-sound &amp;quot;energy unit&amp;quot; in the shape of a tank. The electronic box lights up with the press of either button, and emits electronic &amp;quot;machine gun&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;jet engine&amp;quot; noises. In robot mode, the box attaches to Starscream&#039;s back; in jet mode, it plugs into his tail-end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The new accessories were also used, in different colors, for &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; Ramjet.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (limited test market release)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: 12 missiles, 2 missiles launchers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: A planned-but-more-or-less-canceled redeco of &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]], &amp;quot;Advanced Tactical Bomber&amp;quot; [[Megatron (G1)/toys#ATB|Megatron]] would have come with Starscream, a redeco of Dreadwing&#039;s partner [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. The pair could combine into the &amp;quot;flying wing&amp;quot; Advanced Tactical Bomber, while Starscream coud detach to become a smaller solo jet, leaving Megatron to transform into a treaded tank mode. According the Toy Fair 1995 Transformers presentation, the toy&#039;s missiles were intended to glow in the dark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy&#039;s deco (but not the glow-in-the-dark missiles) was used to make &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]&#039;&#039;&#039;s [[BB]] and [[Starscream (BWII)|Starscream]] out of the same mold-set. This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; [[Dreadwind (RID)|Dreadwind]] and [[Smokejumper]], while Starscream&#039;s mold was sold separately during the &#039;&#039;[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]&#039;&#039; line as [[Smokesniper]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This figure was only released to test markets in Ohio in very limited quantities. It was never available as a wide release.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Starscream&#039;&#039;&#039; (Ultra, 1997)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 10 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
: Starscream&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]&#039;&#039; incarnation is a redeco of the [[Predator (subgroup)|Predator]] [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]], transforming into a large bomber jet based vaguely upon an SR-71 Blackbird. The main feature of the toy is its &amp;quot;carpet bombing&amp;quot; gimmick; each wing contains a drum that holds up to four missiles, which drop out as the drum is rotated. A further two missiles can also store on each wing, and one on each side of his fuselage, but while Skyquake came with enough missiles to fill all these ports, Starscream only comes with ten. The short length of the missiles necessary for this gimmick to function means that Starscream does not come with Skyquake&#039;s firing missile launcher, since the missiles are shorter than [[for safety reasons|safety reasons]] allow, although it is incorrectly shown on his packaging. Starscream also lacks Skyquake&#039;s [[Megavisor]] gimmick. The figure also features a barely noticeable yet enormous Decepticon symbol on the [http://www.seibertron.com/transformers-toys/view/machine-wars/starscream/608/2/25/ top of the plane] rendered in black paint on black plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Starscream is known to have come with either pale grey missiles, better fitting his new color scheme, or bright green missiles like Skyquake&#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was later redecoed to make [[King Atlas]]. The toy was repurposed as the [[Starscream drone]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Starscream&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Starscream would have been made available in the aborted &#039;&#039;[[Transcendent Technomorph|Transtech]]&#039;&#039; series in 2001. Control art and early [[Prototype]] images have surfaced, showing that the toy would have been at the Deluxe scale and featured internal lighting mechanisms that changed color depending on its mode. The toy is clearly a homage to his &#039;&#039;Machine Wars&#039;&#039; body, which at the time of &#039;&#039;Transtech&#039;s&#039;&#039; intended release would have been the last form Starscream had inhabited in American markets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2008, this design would be [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]] universe&#039;s [[Starscream (TransTech)|Starscream]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This design was revived by [[Draxhall Jump]] when they were contracted to create the &#039;&#039;[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Megamorphs&#039;&#039; line for Toy Biz; Starscream ultimately became the [[Iron Man]] toy.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Available concurrently with the 2001 reissue of the original Generation 1 Starscream figure, &amp;quot;Starscream Ghost Version&amp;quot; is an [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]] &#039;&#039;[[Collector&#039;s Edition]]&#039;&#039; redeco of the 2001 Starscream reissue, cast almost entirely in translucent plastics (except for those parts made of die-cast metal) in homage to Starscream&#039;s tenure as a ghost in the third season of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original &#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039; cartoon]]. To make the toy further match Starscream&#039;s cartoon appearance, it features a notably lighter shade of blue, and a translucent orange cockpit as opposed to the traditional smoky grey. The toy came in unique monochrome-blue window box packaging featuring [[CGI]] artwork of Starscream.&lt;br /&gt;

The toy&#039;s [[bio]] makes a rare fictional reference to &#039;&#039;Machine Wars&#039;&#039;, describing [[Machine Wars (event)|the events]] of the series in the past tense. The toy shared the window-box packaging of the &amp;quot;Ghost Version&amp;quot; (see above), except its box was monochrome-black.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: The third exclusive redeco of the original Generation 1 Starscream toy released alongside the 2001 reissues, &amp;quot;Starscream Secret Version&amp;quot; was available through the [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] contest held in conjunction with the first edition of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Generations]]&#039;&#039; (with a &#039;&#039;[[Super Collection Figure]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp figurine as second prize). The figure was limited to only &#039;&#039;five&#039;&#039; pieces, making it one of the rarest officially-released &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toys in the world, and to cap it off, the toy was not actually &#039;&#039;shown&#039;&#039; during the contest, hence its &amp;quot;Secret&amp;quot; moniker. Given its amazingly limited availability, it was not even 100% known &#039;&#039;what the toy looked like&#039;&#039; until a picture of it appeared in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Generations 2009]]&#039;&#039;, showing it as being primarily clear and colorless. Prior to this appearance, it was suggested that both this toy and the &#039;&#039;SCF&#039;&#039; Skywarp were &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; officially released, due to the bankruptcy of &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; publisher [[Keibunsha]]. Whether or not this scenario is accurate is still unknown at this time, as no one has publicly translated the text regarding the figure from &#039;&#039;Generations 2009&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

:The first reissue of the original Starscream toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this &amp;quot;[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]&amp;quot; edition of the figure was a [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] exclusive. It featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. This didn&#039;t work out &#039;&#039;so&#039;&#039; badly with the null-rays, but the cluster bombs just wound up looking &#039;&#039;stupid&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:As another in an increasingly large number of reissues of the original Generation 1 Starscream toy, this entry in the Japanese-exclusive &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers Collection]]&#039;&#039; line of reissues decided to mix things up by giving the figure a full-scale redeco into [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] colors. His blue plastic became much lighter, while his cockpit was made bright orange, and even featured new grey paint applications running across it. Several of his stickers were replaced with new, show-accurate paint applications, including new wing-stripes and [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon symbols on his wings and nosecone (of course, Starscream didn&#039;t have one on his nosecone in the cartoon, so it isn&#039;t perfect!).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Starscream&#039;s fists were remolded with new circular peg-holes so he could wield his missile launchers in his hands, which also worked in conjunction with a new tab on the fists&#039; undersides to allow him to hold his new accessory: Megatron in gun mode. This miniature Megatron splits into two pieces at the handle, with each half plugging into the new hole and tab added to each of Starscream&#039;s fists. Megatron can also plug into Starscream&#039;s underside in jet mode, replicating the time the characters linked up in this fashion in the cartoon episode, &amp;quot;[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]&amp;quot;. The set also came with a remolded fist for the original Optimus Prime toy, allowing him to hold the Megatron accessory, and a DVD featuring a trailer for the upcoming Playstation 2 video game &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers (PS2)|The Transformers]]&#039;&#039; and Japanese toy [[commercial]]s for Optimus Prime, [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Starscream&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]&#039;&#039; toy is a re-imagining of the original Generation 1 figure, retaining its basic [[transformation scheme]], but designed to be closer to the animation model, with greater articulation and integrated parts that do not require detachment during transformation. The only pieces that now need to be removed are Starscream&#039;s null ray rifles, which move from his wings to his arms. He has three peg-holes on each arm, allowing the null rays to be mounted on his shoulders, on his forearms, or in his fists. These holes are also designed to accommodate the generic spring-loaded missile launcher weapon included with &#039;&#039;Robotmasters&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|G1 Convoy]], [[Optimus Primal/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Convoy]] and [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Megatron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Starscream came with two &amp;quot;missile pods&amp;quot; based on weapons Starscream used but once, in the Generation 1 cartoon episode &amp;quot;[[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain]]&amp;quot;. These chromed accessories plug into the square holes in Starscream&#039;s chest, and feature opening covers that reveal (non-firing) missiles within.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-3&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 null rays, 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip, two-piece display stand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The second new mold in [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; line, this highly-detailed version of Starscream is the &amp;quot;odd man out&amp;quot; of the series, eschewing the slavish cartoon-accuracy of the other &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figures in favor of creating as accurate an F-15 Eagle alternate mode as possible, with a somewhat more stylized robot mode. The toy features several unobtrusive built-in gimmicks, including &#039;&#039;numerous&#039;&#039; opening panels on his jet mode surface (highlighting the attention this mode received), flip-up panels in his chest that reveal missile racks based on the weapons seen in the Generation 1 episode &amp;quot;Fire on the Mountain&amp;quot;, and a rotating face that allows Starscream to switch his expression from stony-faced to sneering. Owners of the toy are given quite a few customization options, as Starscream comes with an extensive sheet of sticker decals, including variously sized Decepticon symbols, and squadron numbers and markings, including one of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]]!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In addition to his built-in features, Starscream comes with several accessories. He is armed with both his traditional null-ray rifles, but his familiar cluster bombs are replaced with a rack of (slightly inaccurate) Sidewinder missiles. He also comes with a clip that mounts under his nosecone, allowing him to hold the Megatron pistol accessory that came with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary.2FMasterpiece|&#039;&#039;20th Anniversary&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime]] in emulation of the way the characters linked up in &amp;quot;S.O.S. Dinobots&amp;quot;, and a small figurine of [[Doctor Arkeville]], his partner in crime from several first-season episodes of the Generation 1 cartoon, which can fit in his cockpit. Finally, he includes a two-piece, reconfigurable display base that allows the figure to be posed in mid-flight in either jet or robot mode, and can store Starscream&#039;s accessories while they are not in use. [[Control drawing|Control art]] for &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Starscream which showed the figure wearing his [[Transformer clothing|Crown of Leadership]] (as seen in the coronation scene of the original animated movie) and a pair of otherwise-pointless flip-out notches in the finished toy&#039;s shoulders indicated that Takara planned for a set of clip-on coronation gear. Ultimately, it would take &#039;&#039;six years&#039;&#039; before these accessories were finally released.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Starscream&#039;s creation was overseen by famed Japanese mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]], who was particularly intent on hiding the robot-mode details on the underside of the fighter mode. The first prototype for the figure was essentially an upgraded, more complex version of the original toy, with much more accurate robot and jet modes, but Kawamori&#039;s desire to avoid simply making a new version of an old toy saw the figure go through a major redesign into its finished form. Perhaps the most notable change was the repositioning of Starscream&#039;s tail-fin structures from his legs to his hips, with the intent of creating the feel of a samurai wearing a pair of swords at his waist (presumably, if somewhat oddly, based on the then-recent &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]&#039;&#039; cartoons&#039; portrayal of their [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] as a noble swordsman). Even so, Kawamori was still unhappy with the amount of robotic parts visible underneath the plane, but conceded that too many changes would essentially not make the toy look like Starscream in robot mode. In this pursuit of realism, the most visible concession to the design was the abandonment of his traditional color scheme, replaced with an all-over greenish-tinged grey. Given that this color is inaccurate to most real F-15 fighters (whose Gunship Gray coloration is &#039;&#039;much&#039;&#039; closer to Starscream&#039;s traditional shade), the question of why it was changed at all is not an unreasonable one. However, there are instances of [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6VLv-xwhhag/TZ7hPg5UX-I/AAAAAAAAAXo/UW1469Fm19M/s1600/F-15_three_shipper.jpg F-15 Strike Eagles] that actually utilize this (seldom seen) color scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was later retooled into the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; versions of [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thundercracker]], and was recolored by Hasbro into a [[#MasterpieceUS|more cartoon-accurate Starscream color scheme]] released under their &#039;&#039;[[#Classics|Classics]]&#039;&#039; line as well as redecoed into Hasbro&#039;s version of Masterpiece [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|Skywarp]] under the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]] line. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure, [[#MP11|Starscream]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Though not stated on the package, Starscream is in fact a 1/60 scale F-15. The same scale used by many popular Japanese mecha toys including Kawamori&#039;s own Macross Valkyries. Coincidence?&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 null rays, 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip, two-piece display stand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Cast almost entirely in translucent plastic, this &amp;quot;Ghost Version&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure is yet another callback to Starscream&#039;s spectral tenure from the Generation 1 cartoon. When purchased from [[e-HOBBY]], buyers will receive an [[MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.|exclusive comic]] packaged with the figure. Surprisingly Ghost Starscream comes with the same sticker sheet as the original MP-3 Starscream, only with the numbering designation changed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like Gentei Ghost Starscream, Masterpiece Ghost Starscream is cast in light purple translucent plastic instead of just colorless clear plastic like the G1 Ghost Starscream figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Extreme&#039;&#039; caution is needed while transforming/posing this toy: Several parts of him (especially the wing connectors) are prone to breakage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure was also released in [[Australia]], as an [[exclusive]] through [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]], in late [[2010]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Crown, pauldrons (left and right), cape, 2 null rays, hologram pilot figurine&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Following up on the original plan for the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Starscream figure six years after the fact, MP-11 decks Screamer out in his coronation gear from &#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039;, including crown, twin shoulder pads, and a sculpted plastic cape (rather than a fabric one). In addition to his new accessories—which also include a new hologram pilot figure in place of Doctor Arkeville—Starscream features some extensive retooling to wind his &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; design away from Kawamori&#039;s original, less Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered null rays attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation. Despite the similarity to the original MP-3 prototype, the retooled parts are in fact a whole new design heavily based on the original concept. This new version of the mold was redecoed into [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] and (without the coronation gear) into Hasbro&#039;s [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Transformers .282010.29|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Masterpiece11SW|Skywarp]] and [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]]. It was later retooled into the [[Seeker (body-type)#Coneheads|Coneheads]] [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Ramjet]], [[Thrust (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thrust]] and [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Dirge]], although the mold by that point had noticeably [[Mold#Deterioration|deteriorated]], resulting in numerous quality control issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:2013 saw a China only re-release of MP-11 Starscream. While announced as the same as the original, it featured some changes. Chief among them are the head is no longer molded in light gray plastic painted over gloss black and dark metallic gray (for the face) but it&#039;s molded in a more cartoon accurate dark gray (for the helmet) and a lighter metallic gray for the face. This release also features the nosecone molded in light gray plastic rather than molded in blue and then painted over light gray. The black tabs on the top of the jet are now the same grey as the rest of the jet. It also included a collector&#039;s coin like the original Asian (excluding Japan) release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 null-ray cannons (left and right), 2 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Like the other entries in the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]&#039;&#039; series, Starscream is a faithful &amp;quot;modernizing&amp;quot; of his original Generation 1 form, updating his original toy with modern standards of toy engineering, transformation, sculpting detail and articulation (not dissimilar in principle from his &#039;&#039;[[#Robotmasters|Robotmasters]]&#039;&#039; incarnation, but with less of an adherence to his cartoon [[character model]]). Sharing many design elements with his &#039;&#039;[[#Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; toy, Starscream still transforms into an F-15 Eagle, but has the nose of an {{w|F-14 Tomcat}} fighter jet. His color scheme is, of course, based on the traditional Starscream palette, but seems to owe its new layout to {{w|File:F-15A first prototype 2.jpg|the original F-15 prototype}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As usual, Starscream is armed with his familiar null-rays, which can mount under his wings, on his shoulders, or in his fists, and fire spring-loaded projectiles. The large size of his null-rays (necessary [[for safety reasons]]) restrict his arm movement somewhat in robot mode, as they bump into his wings. Like all &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; figures, he has a heat-activated rubsign on his left wing. Certain parts of Starscream, like his back panel and tailfin assemblies, are made of unusually rigid gray plastic that is slightly prone to cracking or breaking, and should be handled with care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Variant#Running changes|Later versions]] of Starscream saw a [[retool]] in the jet intake area, which involved the slope of his shoulders being decreased, and a fifth small rectangle being added to the vertical area. This version of Starscream is the harder to find of the two, but was used as the basis for all subsequent redecos and retools.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: A [[Walmart]] exclusive, Hasbro&#039;s Masterpiece Starscream is an &#039;&#039;extensive&#039;&#039; redeco of the previous year&#039;s &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure from Takara, recolored to resemble the character&#039;s animation model, down to the orange canopy and the silver nosecone, although the cartoon-accurate silver paint on the nosecone actually covers &#039;&#039;toy&#039;&#039;-accurate blue plastic.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/206593-clean-mp-ss-cleanscream-blue-nosecone.html Clean MP SS - Cleanscream(blue nosecone) - tfw2005.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In an effort to bring out detail in the sculpt, he has also been given an extensive paint wash to bring out his panel lines. His colors were not the only thing changed, however; the tips of his vertical stabilizers were shortened and rounded, and the plastics used overall have greater resilience to impact and damage than the fragile Japanese release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Starscream includes the same accessories as the Takara version of the toy, including a two-piece display stand, null rays, sidewinder missiles, a small figurine of Doctor Arkeville (which now has the correct skin color), and a clip to hold 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime&#039;s Megatron gun while in jet mode. Starscream was finally given the correct tech spec stats he was originally supposed to have back in 1984 for this release, which had been mistakenly given to Skywarp instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Takara got in on the act the following year when they released Hasbro&#039;s version of Masterpiece Starscream as a &amp;quot;[[USA Edition]]&amp;quot;, adding a Japanese sticker to the Hasbro &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; packaging. This version of the toy was not without a few changes: the original mold for the tail fins was used, an extra Decepticon symbol was added to Starscream&#039;s nosecone (which was present on his original toy, but not his animation model), and his black &amp;quot;scorch mark&amp;quot; [[paint operation]]s were dialed back, and those that remained were switched to a lighter gray.&lt;br /&gt;

: Available only as a mail-away exclusive offered through &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Generations 2009]]&#039;&#039; Vol 2 that was released in November 2009, this redeco of Starscream is the second in the character&#039;s history to pay homage to his time as a ghost in the third season of the Generation 1 cartoon by casting him almost entirely in traslucent colored plastic. Parts of the figure made in softer plastic, like his thighs, remain opaque.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Starscream Ghost Version uses the altered version of the &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Starscream mold that originated with Classics [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]] and was last seen with [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]] (down to the 2006 copyright date stamped on it), rather than the modified version first used on &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Starscream and the iterations that followed ([[#Universe (2008)|see below]]). He has the date K0409 (11/04/2009) etched into the inside of his leg.&lt;br /&gt;

Henkei!&#039;&#039; release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Several minor changes were made to the sculpt for this release: his launcher pegs were widened, and the peg-holes for them on his shoulders and wings were modified in order to accommodate them. His air intakes were further modified (on top of the changes made to the mold for [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|&#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Skywarp]]) so that the bottom-most rectangle goes completely across the air intake&#039;s surface rather than just the center.&lt;br /&gt;

:The &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;first&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; [[Action Master|second]] Starscream toy not to turn into a jet, &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]&#039;&#039; Starscream transforms into a licensed 1:32 scale {{w|Mitsuoka Orochi}}. Like the other toys in the line, he features [[die-cast]] metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. This is also currently the only &#039;&#039;Alternity&#039;&#039; mold to feature [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|a fake kibble chest]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In car mode, small wings are &#039;&#039;supposed to&#039;&#039; be able to flip out from under Starscream&#039;s rear wheels, giving him the appearance of a flying car. Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath &#039;&#039;deforming the rims and chipping the tires&#039;&#039;. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s &#039;&#039;very easily&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold, with a different head sculpt, was also used to make the simultaneously released &#039;&#039;Alternity&#039;&#039; [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Alternity|Skywarp]], and later [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Alternity|Thundercracker]] and [[Banzai-Tron (G1)#Alternity|Banzai-Tron]] as well.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Starscream&#039;&#039;&#039; (Legends Class, 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Starscream is a new sculpt based on his Generation 1 jet appearance with many fuselage details borrowed from the [[#Masterpiece|Masterpiece version]]. This is the first Starscream in many years to attempt an entirely new transformation for him, with the arms now forming the rear of the jet and the legs folding under the wings. Amusingly, he has &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; cockpits, with the one that is actually part of his jet mode folding &#039;&#039;right behind&#039;&#039; the [[kibble#faux-parts|fake]] one on his chest in robot mode. As part of the &amp;quot;[[Reveal the Shield]]&amp;quot; [[subline imprint]], Starscream sports a [[rubsign]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Early specimens of the toy released in Asia and at United States retail feature an unpainted gray-plastic helmet, a comparatively rare [[variant]]. This variant is the one featured in the Hasbro [[stock photography]], although the stock photo depicting the figure in [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] has the more common black helmet, as this was the only version ever available at European retail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The &amp;quot;Reveal the Shield&amp;quot; Legends figures saw exceedingly limited release at large-scale retail chains in the US. Throughout 2011, they eventually started appearing in discount stores like Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Tuesday Morning, with perhaps the largest and most consistent outlet being Five Below stores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This sculpt was also redecoed and retooled to make &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]&#039;&#039; [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Chronicle|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Chronicle|Skywarp]], as well as &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]&#039;&#039; [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Generations|Thundercracker]] and [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; (2014)]] [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Skywarp]].&lt;br /&gt;

A later [[variant#running changes|running change variant]] featured the new tooling originally used for &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; Legends Class [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Legends|Thundercracker]], with not only the retooled hands and holes inside his wings compatible with [[C joint|3mm posts]], but also Thundercracker&#039;s gun accessories.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]&#039;&#039; Starscream is a redeco of the Legends Class Starscream toy. This version of the figure is nearly identical to the painted helmet variant of the Hasbro release, except &#039;&#039;the entirety&#039;&#039; of his head is painted black (making it look strange in F-15 mode) and his heat sensitive symbol is replaced with a [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon symbol on each wing.

He comes with two spinning, triple-barreled &amp;quot;assault cannons&amp;quot; which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the [[Neutron assault rifle]] from &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039;. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Starscream features numerous 5mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In an undocumented feature, Starscream&#039;s tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the two pegs found on the underside of the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle&#039;s top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

He has an [[autotransformation]] feature that folds up his wings when his gun barrel is extended.&lt;br /&gt;

He also features different wing stripes and his torso is coated in metallic red and silver paint.

He comes with two &amp;quot;Energon Swords&amp;quot; which he holds via 5mm post, and can fold up and store on his wings. He has numerous [[Powerlinx]] plugs on his forearms and turbines. Additionally, his turbines can each fire a missile in either mode via pressure-launch, and can be positioned in robot mode to either face forward or lay flat on his back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:Starscream is a redeco of &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; Leader Class [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Thundercracker]], itself a retool of &#039;&#039;Thrilling 30&#039;&#039; [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Generations|Jetfire]]. He transforms from a robot into a jet fighter, and includes a missile launcher and four limb-mounted weapons, two guns based on the traditional Seeker arm rifles, and the infamous crown based on the equally infamous coronation scene from &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;, which fits around his head. He also features a faux cockpit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: 2 null-ray rifles&lt;br /&gt;
:As one of seven toys in the [[Transformers: Generations#Cyber Battalion Seres|Cyber Battalion]] series, Cyber Series Starscream is a Voyager-sized figure intended to be sold at a cheaper price point. Starscream features a transformation similar to his &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; Legends Class counterpart. Undocumented in the instructions and as shown in the packaging art, Starscream&#039;s rifles can be attached underneath his wings and his robot mode arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, the figure did not get distribution in the United States, but has been reported showing up in Asian markets and was also solicited to South America. Toy importers did stock this series in a limited capacity and they sold out quickly in 2015 and effectively disappeared at that time. In 2016, the Cyber Battalion Starscream figure (along with &#039;&#039;Cyber Battalion&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime and Bumblebee) saw release in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and finally ended up being turned into a Walgreens exclusive.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 null rays, 2 missile racks, hologram pilot figurine, two-piece display stand, gun clip&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Hasbro version of [[#MP11|MP-11]] differs from the Takara release in a toy-accurate blue nose cone, borders around the Decepticon logo, a slightly different grey plastic, the tabs of the top of the jet are in grey (like the second release of MP-11) and is missing the coronation gear. However, he does come with the stand from previous Masterpiece Seekers and two racks of missiles that can peg onto the bottom of his wings in place of the null rays. Neither the box nor the instructions mention this, but he comes with the gray clip that can hold the Megatron gun that came with other &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figures, such as MP-1 Optimus Prime or MP-13 Soundwave. Official images, including the box art, shows the top of the wings mis-transformed in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite still using the numbering system of Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; line begun in 2013, Starscream was [[co-branding|co-branded]] as part of the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]&#039;&#039; line.

:&#039;&#039;[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]&#039;&#039; Starscream is an all new mold that transforms from robot that utilizes the [[Evergreen]]-styled design into a fighter jet. He also features some markings on his jet mode: an Autobot kill count on the right side of the cockpit, and a Decepticon symbol with the number &amp;quot;D-22&amp;quot; (a reference to Starscream&#039;s Japanese ID number). Starscream can also form the torso of [[Starscream Combiner|an unnamed combiner]] using any selection of &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039;-style Deluxe Class figures as limbs. His instructions and [[TakaraTomy]] stock photos depict him with the &#039;&#039;Power of the Primes&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class figures from Wave 1. He also includes Prime Armor that can hold a [[Prime Master]] (and by extension, a [[Titan Master]], Enigma, or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and can turn into feet for said unnamed combiner. The silhouette of Starscream&#039;s torso mode appears to homage the robot mode of another [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Starscream includes an Enigma of Combination (dubbed the &#039;&#039;Seeker Enigma&#039;&#039;), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to Starscream via the previously mentioned Prime Armor or the combined mode chest, which can also facilitate the other previously mentioned objects. It&#039;s very possible the ability to combine is a reference to the [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Deviations|Deviations combiner Megascream]], but it could also just be a thing they did because why not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:There are several reports of the peg that connects the wings often refusing to connect well. In 2018, a running change was made in the re-release of the toy: the peg that connects between the wings and the robot back has been retooled to connect firmly. The only way to identify this running change is the code &amp;quot;73101&amp;quot; stamped onto the box.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Starscream was later retooled into [[Elita One (G1)#Generations|Elita-1]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 &amp;quot;HPI [[Null-ray|Null-Ray]] Laser Launchers&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the second wave of &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class figures, Starscream transforms from a heavily G1-inspired robot to a Cybertronian &#039;tetrajet&#039; based on the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers&#039;]] appearance in &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&amp;quot; and back; although the jet mode has the robot legs sticking out from the undercarriage.  He includes two &amp;quot;HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers,&amp;quot; which can mount on his upper arms, or under the wings in jet mode. Fitting with the rest of Siege, Starscream has 5 mm ports on his biceps, forearms, shins, under his feet (thrusters), and wings. The 3mm pegs on his shins, forearms, left bicep, and the tips of his Null-Rays can accommodate effects parts sold separately. Similar to his wavemate Soundwave, Starscream is absolutely &#039;&#039;slathered&#039;&#039; in battle damage paint, heavily coating his legs, chest, forearms and the &#039;&#039;entirity&#039;&#039; of his jet form. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like the rest of &#039;&#039;Siege&#039;&#039;, his robot mode focuses on articulation, with double-jointed elbows, knees that bend at nearly 180 degrees, ankle rockers, and waist articulation(!) being notable articulation points for a Starscream toy. Being a rather heavy shellformer, Starscream can be separated into both a wingless robot mode and a nearly complete tetrajet easily, via a friction hinge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking of friction hinges, the initial release of Starscream suffers from a production flaw: His robot chest flap’s joint usually pops off during transformation, due to the lack of pins added to stabilize it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Amusingly, the panel on his instruction sheet demonstrating where to attach [[C.O.M.B.A.T.]] weapons depicts him mistransformed, with his left forearm opened along the transformation hinge. &lt;br /&gt;

He comes with a launcher modeled after a jet, which is named the &#039;&#039;Harbinger&#039;&#039; in his online bio. The launcher can attach to him like a trailer, or open up into a base mode. Like all the Base-launchers, the weapon on top of it is an homage to a different version of the character it came with. In Starscream&#039;s case, it has a gun resembling G1 Starscream&#039;s Null-Ray laser gun.&lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the third wave of Series 2 launchers, Starscream was to be a redeco of the [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#SuperBot|Super Bot Skywarp]], itself a new mold, transforming into a futuristic forward-swept wing fighter jet with two blasters at the front. As a Flip Shot, an impact to the front of his vehicle mode would cause him to flip up when autotransforming. He would be packaged with a launcher and a target. Like many of the Bot Shots from the second year, however, he was cancelled before release.&lt;br /&gt;

Also, only the left 1/3 of his helmet painted its proper black, with the rest being left in unpainted gray. Rarely 2/3 of it is black, and if you&#039;re lucky, the whole head might be black!

:Another release of the &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; Legends Class sculpt. The deco for its initial release is unchanged from the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; release from 2012, whereas the tooling is identical to the 2012 release&#039;s running change variant, with the retooled hands and holes inside his wings compatible with [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] [[C joint|3mm]] pegs. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; Legends Class Starscream/Waspinator two-pack&#039;s packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; Starscream&#039;s packaging and only slightly altered, advertising a &amp;quot;[[Reveal the Shield]]&amp;quot; [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn&#039;t actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro&#039;s official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the toy with the Null Rays that came with the running change variant of the sculpt&#039;s 2012 release, even though the actual toy doesn&#039;t include the weapons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Legion Class Starscream has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the purple Decepticon insignia with black versions. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure was made available again, without any changes, in 2015, this time in new packaging resembling the then-concurrent packaging design for the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]&#039;&#039; line, but replacing the name &amp;quot;Generations&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Authentic Transformers&amp;quot;. It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released &#039;&#039;again&#039;&#039;, this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version&#039;s packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing &amp;quot;Reveal the Shield&amp;quot; gimmick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia.&lt;br /&gt;

: Starscream is a [[redeco]] of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class [[Doubledealer#Generations|Doubledealer]], itself a redeco/[[retool]] of [[Blitzwing (G1)/toys#Generations|Blitzwing]] from the same line. Starscream transforms into two vaguely futuristic vehicles: a jet with an opening cockpit and back-mounted rocket boosters, as well as a tank with a rotating turret and a spring-loaded &amp;quot;Vertex Cannon&amp;quot; that launches its missile when the barrel is compressed. The cannon can also be swung out and deployed for use in jet mode. He lacks Doubledealer&#039;s blaster and sword accessories, but instead comes with two of [[#Masterpiece|&#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Starscream]]&#039;s [[null-ray]] cannons that can plug into the [[5 mm post]]s on his shoulders/vehicle sides, cannon base, and wings. Unfortunately, his shoulders suffer from the same [[design flaw]] Blitzwing and Doubledealer suffered from. Starscream was sold exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]].&lt;br /&gt;

He comes with two null-rays that can attach to his arms or under his wings. His transformation is nigh-identical to his &#039;&#039;[[Thrilling 30]]&#039;&#039; toy, with a few minor changes; his null rays can now peg to his wings, his face is hidden in jet mode, and the nosecone no longer flips back when forming his chest.&lt;br /&gt;

:Amusingly, the Decepticon symbol on his chest is &#039;&#039;ridiculously&#039;&#039; tiny, to the point where it&#039;s little more than a purple triangle. &lt;br /&gt;

The Prime Armor has a place for a [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]] (or [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and can transform into a hand for a Combiner. He also comes with a piece that can fill the gap in the chest armor or be held by Starscream as a gun.

**Somewhat confusingly, there appear to be two different pieces of artwork related to this redeco concept: one is simply a palette-swapped version of Starscream&#039;s [[:File:G2StarscreamPackageArt.jpg|&#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; artwork]] (down to having exactly the same color stickers), while the other features numerous alterations, among them new foot, knee, and shoulder intake detailing, differently positioned wings, and the missile launchers included with the &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; releases of Starscream and [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]]. Though unconfirmed, it is thought that the second piece of artwork was meant to go with the final release.&lt;br /&gt;
**Speaking of the final release: in 2012, it was revealed that &amp;quot;Black Death Starscream&amp;quot; was &#039;&#039;much&#039;&#039; further along in production than the fandom had previously suspected when a sticker-less test shot was discovered on the Chinese auction site TaoBao (from a seller also possessing loose &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and a production-colors [[Sandstorm (G2)|Sandstorm]]). The test-shot differs from the package art and mock-up by possessing black missiles instead of blue ones and having no Decepticon symbols on the rear stabilizers (although it&#039;s possible those were meant to be stickers).&lt;br /&gt;
**The actuality of the figure being intended as Starscream is uncertain. In fact, the &amp;quot;desert&amp;quot; redeco of Ramjet discovered at the same time has been revealed as having been intended as [[Sandstorm (G2)|a separate new character]] and not an alternate version of Ramjet as had been assumed. It very well may be that this toy was likewise intended as a new character with the working name &amp;quot;Black Death,&amp;quot; and not Starscream at all, but without confirmation of this it may as well remain listed here.&lt;br /&gt;
*A second unproduced redeco of Starscream for the &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; line was found in 2007, also in an auction on eBay. It is known to the fandom as &amp;quot;Jungle Attack Starscream&amp;quot;, although just as with &amp;quot;Black Death Starscream&amp;quot;, it is unclear if it was intended to actually be another Starscream toy.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:G1Skywarp package art.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] has always looked and will always look a lot like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. There are many [[Starscream (G1)/toys|toys of Starscream]] and where there is a Starscream toy, a Skywarp toy soon follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Toys==&lt;br /&gt;
===Generation 1===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:G1toy skywarp.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2.2]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skywarp&#039;&#039;&#039; (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;23&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left &amp;amp; right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, 2 &amp;quot;Machine Guns&amp;quot;, left &amp;amp; right wings, left &amp;amp; right rudders, left &amp;amp; right tail fins, landing gear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Skywarp began life as a &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Jet Robo&amp;quot;, but unlike team-mates [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]], with whom he shares his mold, his distinctive black-and-purple deco did &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; originate in that line. Skywarp transforms into an {{w|F-15 Eagle}} fighter jet, by a process which essentially involves removing and reattaching most of his plane parts. Though it is possible to do so without removing all of them, this rather piecemeal design and the fact that neither mode uses all his parts means it can be quite difficult to find an intact original Skywarp on the secondary market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in robot mode, and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short rockets are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Skywarp&#039;s machine guns. The original &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:G1catalog84-DecepticonPlanes-Redeco.jpg|left|thumb]] &lt;br /&gt;
:While the earliest releases of Skywarp were basically identical to the &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; mold, some small modifications were soon made to the figure which became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. These included the hollowing out of the inner edges of his wings and the tips of his tail-wings, the lengthening of the pegs on his wings, and the addition of extra clips on the inner sides of his fist-gauntlets, allowing them to grip his arms better but creating a visible slit on them. Like all his 1984 brethren, Skywarp gained a factory-applied [[rubsign]] in 1985, which was added to the left side of his fuselage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For some reason, the stats on Skywarp&#039;s, Starscream&#039;s and Thundercracker&#039;s [[Tech Spec]]s were switched around. Skywarp&#039;s box was given Starscream&#039;s numbers, giving him a high intelligence and rank that stood in contrast to the bio printed next to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Early Hasbro stock photos of Skywarp (left) show him with a plastic purple nosecone. This was changed to a soft, black rubber nosecone when the toy was actually released. However, a [http://tfarchive.com/toys/articles/toypics/mex_skywarp.jpg Mexican variant] retained the purple plastic nosecone. The same stock photos also show him with purple launchers with black triggers and muzzle rings, black feet, black shins, black outer arm panels, purple horizontal stabilizers, and both sets of purple missiles. These stock photos were also later used to promote Takara&#039;s 2001 reissue (see below).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] and retooled to make [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skywarp&#039;&#039;&#039; (Basic, 1997)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 rifle halves&lt;br /&gt;
: Sharing a mold once again with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Thundercracker]], Skywarp transforms into a white {{w|Rafale|Dassault Rafale}} fighter jet with spring-loaded one-step transformation from jet to robot. The two halves of his rifle store in his lower legs. Like all &#039;&#039;[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]&#039;&#039; toys, Skywarp was an [[exclusive]] to Kay-Bee stores and related stores like Toy Liquidators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the [[Skywarp drone]]s. This mold is also used by &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars II (toyline)|Beast Wars II]]&#039;&#039; [[Dirge (BWII)#Toys|Dirge]], [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; (2001)]] [[Skyfire (RID)|Skyfire]], &#039;&#039;[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]&#039;&#039; [[Wingstun#Toys|Wingstun]] and &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]&#039;&#039; [[Waspinator (BW)/toys#Timelines 2|Waspinator]]. &lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skywarp&#039;&#039;&#039; (reissue, 2001)&lt;br /&gt;

:The original Skywarp toy was reissued for the first time in 2001 as part of Takara&#039;s small &amp;quot;[[Collector&#039;s Edition]]&amp;quot; series, which made several Generation 1 toys available as convention [[exclusive]]s. Sold in new open-faced packaging with no notable changes from the original figure, Skywarp was an exclusive at the Japanese science fiction convention &amp;quot;Super Festival 21&amp;quot;, available only in a set with Thundercracker and limited to 1000 pieces. The pair are often mistakenly identified as [[e-HOBBY]] exclusives.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left &amp;amp; right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, 2 &amp;quot;Machine Guns&amp;quot;, left &amp;amp; right wings, left &amp;amp; right rudders, left &amp;amp; right tail fins, landing gear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The original Skywarp toy was made available again as part of Hasbro&#039;s line of [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] reissues. Released in the fourth wave of the series, it featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. His machine guns didn&#039;t turn out &#039;&#039;too&#039;&#039; bad; the missiles didn&#039;t fare so well. Rather than correct the erroneous Tech Spec numbers from Skywarp&#039;s original release, this reissue retained them and instead features a slightly re-written bio to remove the contradictions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp is a redeco of &#039;&#039;[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]&#039;&#039; [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]] in his Generation 1 colors. He transforms into a Cybertronic fighter jet, armed with two spring-loaded projectile launchers that can fire orange &amp;quot;energon&amp;quot; bolts. These launchers end up in his arms in robot mode. He has a third robot mode that collapses the legs around the cockpit (oh hush), with flip-out panels revealing an extra pair of thrusters. His [[spark]] crystal, revealed by flipping the purple hatch on his back, has a Decepticon [[insignia]] [[tampograph]]ed on top of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Although most previous versions of the mold have the wingtips swept forward in vehicle mode, Skywarp was packaged and depicted in his instructions with the wingtips swept back. His fictional appearances, however, use the conventional arrangement shown here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp was also used to make &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; [[Aero Drone|Sonic Attack Jet]], &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; [[Storm Jet (RID)|Storm Jet]], and &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; [[Jhiaxus (RID)|Jhiaxus]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]&#039;&#039; product, Skywarp is, of course, a redeco of this line&#039;s Starscream. Like all toys in the series, he is a tiny, simplified version of the original Generation 1 toy, transforming into an F-15 fighter jet, with most of the accessories from the original toy faithfully translated save for his machine guns. As with all previous waves of &#039;&#039;Smallest Transforming Transformers&#039;&#039;, these figures were sold [[blindpacking|blindpacked]], with Skywarp as one of the wave&#039;s two rare [[chase figure]]s&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was redecoed into &#039;&#039;Smallest Transforming&#039;&#039; Thundercracker, and retooled to make Thrust.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp is a redeco of [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] from the same series, a smaller yet more advanced version of the original toy, adding more articulation and reducing the amount of [[Partformer|part-forming]] required. He was available only in a two-pack with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]], which also came with a Decepticon sigil pin and chromed missile pods. This set was the very last product released in the &#039;&#039;Robotmasters&#039;&#039; line and wasn&#039;t even strictly sold in a box from that series; instead, it used an [[e-HOBBY]] Generation 1 reissue box, with a small &#039;&#039;Robotmasters&#039;&#039; sticker in the corner tab noting its origin from the front.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ultra Magnus vs Skywarp: Battle For Autobot City&#039;&#039;&#039; (Multi-pack, 2006)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left &amp;amp; right missile launchers, 2 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp is a Target-[[exclusive]] redeco and slight retool of &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Starscream]], transforming into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-15 Eagle fighter jet]], though with a canopy like that of an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-14 Tomcat]]. He comes with a pair of spring-loaded missile launchers that can be mounted on his biceps or used as hand-held weapons in robot mode and can attach under his wings in vehicle mode. As with most &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; toys, he also features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Skywarp was slightly [[retool]]ed from the earlier Starscream figures. The retool is present in the jet intake area. The slope of his shoulders was decreased from Starscream&#039;s, and a fifth rectangle was added to the vertical area. This retooled version was used for all subsequent releases of the mold, and was also used as a [[Variant#Running change|running change]] on Starscream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was only available as part of a two-pack with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Classics|Ultra Magnus]]. The set&#039;s price was $19.99, despite including both a Voyager Class and Deluxe Class mold in it, which would be approximately $30 worth of toys if they had been sold separately. He was also available in Woolworth stores throughout the United Kingdom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Stock photography]] of &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Skywarp showed [[:File:Classics Skywarp toy.jpg|a more detailed color scheme]] than the actual released figure. Much like &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Ultra Magnus, the changes were most likely due to an overabundance of [[paint operation]]s. This more detailed version was shown at [[BotCon 2006]], and at least one sample found its way to a collector&#039;s hands. The sample also used the original Starscream mold, and not the retooled version mentioned above.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp was released in Japan in September of 2007. He is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] mold in black, gray, silver, and purple, though the purple and silver are more minimal than usual. Skywarp is able to switch between a minimally retooled stoic face and a new snarly face, retooled from Starscream&#039;s previous smirk. The tiny [[Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figurine (this time molded black) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Masterpiece Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MPSkywarp stickers.jpg|upright=1.1|left|thumb|Sadly, no stair-pusher sticker.]]&lt;br /&gt;

:The second pressing of &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Skywarp (released in October 2008) features an assembly error: his left and right pectorals are flipped. This misassembly does not affect transformation at all, and is really only noticeable when compared to prior &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Seekers. The September 2007 pressing of &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Skywarp is assembled correctly. &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Thundercracker is misassembled as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It is a common misconception that the stoic face on Takara&#039;s &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker are the same, when all of them are in fact different sculpts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was later used for the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; version of [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thundercracker]]. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure, [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|Starscream]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skywarp&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[2015]]-[[January 5|01-05]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-11SW&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
***&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP11SW|Megatron Gun]], Doctor Arkeville pilot&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A redeco of the newer &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 Starscream]] mold, Skywarp features some extensive retooling to wind the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Seeker design back into the more Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered Machine Guns attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure features flip-up missile racks built into his pectorals. He comes with the original version of the Megatron gun that first came with &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|Optimus Prime]]. He also comes with a Doctor Arkeville pilot figure identical to the previous MP-6 release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp&#039;s deco is heavily based on his cartoon appearance and features the rarely reproduced in toy form entirely purple shoulders and arm cannons. Despite the focus on cartoon accuracy in his deco, he carries over the striping on his forearms, shoulders, and pectorals similar to his original MP-6 Masterpiece release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp was only released in China via Hasbro Asia under the TakaraTomy label; marking the second time an original TakaraTomy Masterpiece toy wasn&#039;t released for the Japanese market ([[Megatron (G1)/toys#MasterpieceGoldMegs|Masterpiece Megatron Gold Version]] was the first).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:On [[November 30]], [[2016]] MP-11SW Skywarp was released in Japan for the first time as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.  There are notable differences between this release and the original almost two years prior.  The shade of purple used on the later release is more warm and less cool in tone.  His biceps and knee flaps are now molded in black plastic rather than in purple plastic painted a glossy black.  The inner portion of his upper chest is no longer painted silver mold molded in silver plastic.  Many of the paint operations are also slightly different in color from the earlier Hasbro Asia release.  Hasbro Asia also re-released the figure to coincide with the Japanese release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:When purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Skywarp comes with a collector coin, mounted on a card resembling his wings, complete with his signature wing stripes. The coin was reissued in 2016, without change, alongside the figure.&lt;br /&gt;

As with all 6-inch Titanium Cybertron Heroes, he is constructed mostly of fully painted die-cast metal. He was available only at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] after the Titanium line had already been cancelled, and also Hasbro Toy Shop&#039;s booth at {{w|San Diego Comic-Con}} 2008.&lt;br /&gt;

Henkei!&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]]. Skywarp and his fellow [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] were opened for pre-order on [[May 22]]nd through [[June 20]], and mailed out in September 2008.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soon after release, there were numerous complaints from both Japanese and Western collectors about the poor quality control for both Thundercracker and Skywarp. Skywarp&#039;s most common fault was missing paint for one of his shoulders. Some reported both toys suffering misassembly issues such as having two left or two right thighs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Several minor changes were made to this mold for this release. The holes for his missile launchers in his arms were widened, as were the launcher&#039;s insertion pegs. The wing&#039;s missile launcher insertion points were lengthened and are now curved at the end. The last rectangle on his air intakes was further modified from the [[Transformers: Classics|Classics]] version, this time the bottom most rectangle goes completely across the air intake&#039;s surface rather than just the center. &#039;&#039;Henkei! Henkei!&#039;&#039; Thundercracker and &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; Starscream also saw most of these changes.&lt;br /&gt;

: A [[Walmart]] exclusive redeco of the original &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Starscream mold. Just like Starscream, Skywarp is able to switch between two different faces. This release uses the Starscream&#039;s stoic and smirking alternate faces rather than the Takara &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Skywarp&#039;s newly-tooled stoic and snarling faces. Hasbro designer [[Joe Kyde]] felt the alternate snarling face did not fit Skywarp&#039;s prankster personality, so he went with the Starscream smirk face instead when designing the deco for Hasbro&#039;s release. As a result of gang molding, Skywarp also uses Starscream&#039;s stoic face, the decision being the difference between Skywarp and Starscream&#039;s stoic face was negligible enough not to make a significant difference. The toy also features a more G1 toy styled deco rather than cartoon-based, particularly in the yellow eye color and wing stripes. His purple more closely matches that of the original toy than the purple used on the Takara version, and features a lighter flat black, like the original toy, instead of Takara&#039;s darker glossy black. The Hasbro version replaces some of the dark gray of the Takara version with a dark silver, removes the arm and chest striping, but adds additional red detailing, while removing some as well. Much like Hasbro&#039;s Starscream, he does not feature any of the warning or slogan tampographs, but features tampographed striping, Decepticon symbols, and some additional paint details not present on the Takara version. The nosecone features black paint over purple plastic, allowing for easy customization of &amp;quot;Mexican Masterpiece Skywarp&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
: The tiny Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine (molded in black with no paint applications) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime and a stand (featuring Skywarp&#039;s name) with a support beam for jet or robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
: Masterpiece Skywarp was also available as an Argos exclusive in the [[United Kingdom]].&lt;br /&gt;

This release of the figure replaced his Decepticon symbol stickers with [[tampograph]]s, and changed his purple stickers to a much bluer shade. Curiously, although Thundercracker&#039;s wing stripes were replaced with tampographs, Skywarp&#039;s remained factory-applied stickers.&lt;br /&gt;

Like the other toys in the line, he features [[die-cast]] metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. This is also currently the only &#039;&#039;Alternity&#039;&#039; mold to feature [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|a fake kibble chest]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In car mode, small wings are &#039;&#039;supposed to&#039;&#039; be able to flip out from under Skywarp&#039;s rear wheels, giving him the appearance of a flying car. Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath &#039;&#039;deforming the rims and chipping the tires&#039;&#039;. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s &#039;&#039;very easily&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

He transforms into an F-15 with many fuselage details borrowed from the Masterpiece version. This is also the first Seeker mold in many years to attempt an entirely new transformation, with the arms now forming the rear of the jet and the legs folding under the wings.

: This version of Skywarp is heavily based on his cartoon appearance. He features a glossy black, a medium warm purple, shiny metallic purple paint on most of his purple plastic, and an amber cockpit. Paint operations found on the Henkei! Henkei! release were shuffled around for the sake of cartoon accuracy, up to and including purple shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
: Original photos of Skywarp showed him with show-accurate all purple arm cannons, but due to gang molding (and lack of additional paint operations) only the upper most portion of his arm cannons ended up purple.&lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the [[TakaraTomy]] &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]&#039;&#039; line, &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (WFC)#Generations|Starscream]], and transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. His color layout is based on that seen in &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; promotional material, with purple wings, although much of the black is replaced with a dark metallic gray.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp comes with two spinning, triple-barreled &amp;quot;assault cannons&amp;quot; which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the [[Neutron assault rifle]] from &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039;. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Skywarp features numerous 5mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides. Additionally, his tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the two pegs found on the underside of the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle&#039;s top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;

This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp is minimally mis-transformed in-package: his jet mode nosecone is extended, rather than folded in as it should be in robot mode.

:Despite using a mold matching [[Skywarp (WFC)|Skywarp]]&#039;s appearance in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, this toy &#039;&#039;technically&#039;&#039; represents G1 Skywarp, thanks to his [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] pack-in fiction. Consequently, the toy is listed in the former&#039;s page as a [[repurposing]]. This toy was used as &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp&#039;s initial appearance and was redecoed into TakaraTomy &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039; Skywarp and &#039;&#039;Generations Thrilling 30&#039;&#039; [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Thrilling30|Thundercracker]].&lt;br /&gt;

He comes with two removable cannons that have [[5mm post#Multiple posts and double posting|both 5mm and 3mm pegs]].

&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;keshigomu&#039;&#039; figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Skywarp was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. He is, surprisingly enough, &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; identical to either Starscream or Thundercracker: the stance of his legs and the position of his Decepticon symbols differ, but he is, of course, most prominently distinguished by his raised arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, in a peach coloration randomly packed in several box sets and with other products produced by Takara subsidiary [[Seven]], and in a wide variety of colours in &amp;quot;gachapon&amp;quot; capsule machines.&lt;br /&gt;

: The Skywarp figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple &amp;quot;checklist&amp;quot; number (33, in Skywarp&#039;s case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots.

Limited to 200 pieces, he was only available as the second place prize in a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] contest held in conjunction with the first edition of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Generations]]&#039;&#039; (with the &amp;quot;[[Starscream (G1)/toys#SecretStarscream|Secret Starscream]]&amp;quot; toy as the first place prize).

: When the &#039;&#039;Super Collection Figure&#039;&#039; line was brought to the US as &#039;&#039;[[Heroes of Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, Skywarp was widely released as part of the first wave. As was the standard for the line, Skywarp was made from translucent red plastic that was mostly painted over, giving him [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes. In addition, he is distinguished from his &#039;&#039;Super Collection Figure&#039;&#039; counterpart by grey knee-vents and black foot-panels, versus the respetive purple and grey applications on the original (though several samples of the figure were missing the foot-panel paint, including the one shown at the TFU link below).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: A redeco of &#039;&#039;Mega Super Figure Collection&#039;&#039; G1 Starscream (minus the extra coronation accessories), Skywarp was to be among the first of the fan club exclusives offered by [[BotCon#BotCon history|OTFCC]] as well as the first in their &#039;&#039;Legends of Cybertron&#039;&#039; line. The figure was delayed and never saw a full release due to [[3H Productions|3H Enterprises]] losing the license to run the official Transformers fan club. At least a couple of sample versions were produced, of those most (but not all) had the open-palm hands and the hand wielding Megatron in gun mode painted blue rather than the correct purple.&lt;br /&gt;

: Skywarp was among the planned &#039;&#039;Transformers [[Attacktix]]&#039;&#039; game pieces that were showed at some conventions, but went unreleased as the line was canceled. He was to be a [[retool]] of sorts of the similarly unreleased &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], using the same weapon and base but a brand new jet mold. Skywarp would&#039;ve been able to detach from his base and fly on a string, enabling him to get better shots at opposing pieces. Any other details about his role in the game are unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

:Skywarp was one of the chase figures in the second wave of 3-inch tall [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] vinyl figurines produced by [[The Loyal Subjects]]. Featuring eight ball-jointed points of articulation. Unlike the other [[1984]] style Seekers, a Skywarp is not a redeco of the Starscream and Thundercracker figurine from the first wave (who were later redecoed to create the [[Rainmaker]] trio and [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]), but an all new mold with different construction and parts than his predecessors. He is slightly larger than the other &#039;84 Seekers and features more moving parts. He does share some parts with the simultaneously released [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]], and fellow chase figure [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]]. For every 96 figures from wave 2 of The Loyal Subjects, there is 1 Skywarp.&lt;br /&gt;

:A super deformed Skywarp model kit produced by [[Kotobukiya]] as part of their franchise-spanning &#039;&#039;[[D-Style]]&#039;&#039; line. Like [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#D-Style|Megatron]] he comes with three different faces and in line with the rest of the line, comes with a mini alt mode figure, in this case an F15 jet. He also contains a replaceable open hand. His chest contains flip-up panels in his chest that reveal missile racks based on the weapons seen in the Generation 1 episode &amp;quot;Fire on the Mountain&amp;quot;. The null rays can be removed and wielded as guns, and he can also hold Megatron&#039;s gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In order to get the figure looking like the promotional photos, required paint applications include coloring the screaming mouth, chest fans and panel lines, missile rack surrounds, null ray panel lines, and knee vents all in black. Eyes and cockpit come in translucent colored plastic and can also be painted to improve their look. Finally, the mini F15 jet comes as a single black piece and is missing all coloring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes in a two pack along with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#D-Style|Thundercracker]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Skywarpatron.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
*In a possible fit of madness, a triple changer was proposed that would switch between Skywarp (possibly mistaken for Starscream), [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], and Skywarp&#039;s jet mode.&lt;br /&gt;
*In modern times, Skywarp is often the last of the three primary Decepticon Seekers to see the use of a toyline&#039;s respective Seeker mold. This often leads to his figures becoming prominent shelfwarmers at the tail end of a line&#039;s run.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Soundwave And Condor Cassette: Buzzsaw&#039;&#039;&#039; (Decepticon, 1984-1986)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;17&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories (Hasbro release):&#039;&#039; [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys|Buzzsaw]], rocket launcher, 3 rockets, [[concussion weapon|concussion blaster]]&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories (Takara main release):&#039;&#039; [[Rumble (G1)/toys|Rumble]], tape case, rocket launcher, 3 rockets, headphones, microphone, concussion blaster&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories (Takara &amp;quot;Cassette Man&amp;quot; release):&#039;&#039; [[Rumble (G1)/toys|Rumble]] or [[Frenzy (G1)/toys|Frenzy]] or [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys|Laserbeak]], tape case, rocket launcher, 3 rockets, headphones, microphone, concussion blaster&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave began life as the &#039;&#039;[[Micro Change]]&#039;&#039; toy &amp;quot;Cassette Man&amp;quot;, and went mostly unchanged when he was imported by [[Hasbro]] to become part of the &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]&#039;&#039; toyline, save for exclusion of some accessories, and the removal of a molded &amp;quot;Cassette Man&amp;quot; logo and &amp;quot;MC-10&amp;quot; on his cassette door. He transforms into a realistically-sized blue and silver microcassette recorder, complete with an opening cassette door that can accommodate any of the numerous [[Mini-Cassette]] figures, and came packaged with [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys|Buzzsaw]] to fully exploit and advertise this interactive gimmick. Soundwave is armed with a shoulder-mounted cannon and a hand-held concussion blaster, which both transform into imitation batteries that store in a compartment on his back while he is in his alternate mode. The Hasbro instructions mistakenly state that a pair of trapezoid-shaped stickers intended to decorate these batteries should be attached to Soundwave&#039;s legs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Takara&#039;s release of Soundwave reinstated the extra Cassette Man accessories that Hasbro had excluded from their release: a set of headphones and a microphone, both non-functioning. To further emulate Cassette Man, Takara&#039;s Soundwave came with [[Rumble (G1)/toys|Rumble]], rather than Buzzsaw, and a clear plastic case that he could fit into in tape mode. Originally in the Cassette Man release, the figure came with either Rumble, Frenzy or Laserbeak, as different releases and copies varied. Soundwave&#039;s rocket launcher featured a spring-loaded firing mechanism that Hasbro had removed, as they did with all such features at the time. Takara also made a [[variant|running change]] to the [[mold]], re-sculpting the recessed buttons on Soundwave&#039;s pelvis into one solid, protruding piece, and moving the cassette door&#039;s hinge from inside the figure&#039;s chest to a lower, external position on either side of this new button assembly. This modification became the standard for all subsequent re-uses of the Soundwave mold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Aside from the aforementioned button remold, Soundwave&#039;s first notable modification was the addition of a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]] to his chest in 1985. The popularity of Soundwave and his interactive tape gimmick was evident from an early stage: his toy continued to be sold throughout 1986, after the vast majority of his 1984 brethren had been removed from toy shelves, and Mini-Cassette partners continued to be produced for him even after this, through 1988. Soundwave was subsequently reissued several times over the years, and this article lists each distinct edition of the figure under its own heading.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Prior to modifying his buttons, Takara also released Soundwave in a &amp;quot;versus&amp;quot; set along with [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]], lacking the additional headphone and microphone accessories and partnered with [[Frenzy (G1)/toys|Frenzy]] instead of Rumble. The set also included an audio cassette, and has become the rarest of the three &amp;quot;VS&amp;quot; sets Takara produced. The version of Soundwave included in this set was (supposedly) the earlier, pre-running change version with individual buttons on his chest.&lt;br /&gt;

: As part of the Japanese &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Headmasters (toyline)|Headmasters]]&#039;&#039; series, Soundwave was [[redeco]]ed in a new black and red color scheme, and his chest door was [[retool]]ed so that he could now hold two cassettes at once. Soundblaster came packaged with Buzzsaw, who now sported a new [[sticker]] which would reveal the weak spot of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys|Fortress Maximus]] when placed behind Soundblaster&#039;s translucent red chest door, in the same manner that [[Tech Spec]]s decoders worked. The figure&#039;s stickers, however, retain Soundwave&#039;s blue coloration instead of being changed to work with Soundblaster&#039;s black.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the very first wave of [[Action Master]]s, Soundwave is a non-transforming action figure which combines elements of his cartoon model and original toy.

&lt;br /&gt;
: Soundwave&#039;s [[instructions]] depict a different [[weapon]] than the one the toy actually comes with. The weapon depicted in Soundwave&#039;s instructions was available with [[Treadshot (G1)|Treadshot]] instead. As a consequence, several toy information websites and identification guides (including &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Generations|Generations]]&#039;&#039;) depict Soundwave with Treadshot&#039;s weapon, using the instructions as a reference.&lt;br /&gt;

He has no stickers, factory-applied or otherwise, but has a tampographed Linkin Park logo and Decepticon symbol. Linkin Park Soundwave: Special Edition was exclusive to [http://www.suru-la.com SURU] and limited to 2000 pieces. &lt;br /&gt;

:Released during the early portion of the &#039;&#039;[[Transform Jr]]&#039;&#039; toyline when it was still going by the short lived &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Transform Gōkin&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; name, &#039;&#039;Jr&#039;&#039; Soundwave is a smaller, simplified version of the original Generation 1 toy, lacking many stickers and paint applications, as well as the larger figure&#039;s retractable fists and the spring-activated release for his chest door. The chest door can still be manually opened, though, and Soundwave comes with a cassette partner to fit inside, albeit a non-transforming one (it&#039;s basically just a rectangle of plastic with a sticker on it; from the pattern on the sticker, it might be Rumble). He comes with only one gun, which can be placed either on his shoulder or in his fist, and features [[die-cast]] metal parts in his legs.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Just as his larger toy was, &#039;&#039;Jr&#039;&#039; Soundwave was redecoed and retooled to become Soundblaster the following year, sporting a black coloration and an enlarged chest door (though the door itself remains colorless, lacking the distinctive red tint of the large Soundblaster figure). Soundblaster retains all of Soundwave&#039;s accessories and features; the sticker for his non-transformable cassette partner remains the same, looking a lot like Rumble despite Soundblaster&#039;s [[package art]] now showing Buzzsaw.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: A [[redeco]] of the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Gearhead]], Soundwave transforms into a [[NASCAR]]-style Ford Thunderbird stock car with precision wheels and wire axles, compatible with &amp;quot;Hot Wheels&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Matchbox&amp;quot; playsets and tracks (which he was properly sized to fit). His &#039;&#039;exceptionally&#039;&#039; loud color scheme, being composed of bright shades of fluorescent yellow, pink and blue, is one of the few times fans can actually get away with describing a toy as &amp;quot;[[neon]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Soundwave was one of only three Go-Bots released in Japan by Takara, on a normal [[Hasbro]] card with stickers over key parts to add Japanese text to the mix. The other two releases, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Megatron]], were not too heavily altered, aside from the addition of Soundwave&#039;s distinctive large &amp;quot;T&amp;quot; hood deco to their own bonnets, but Soundwave himself was significantly altered: while his car shell remains fluorescent yellow, his internal parts are the same as the opaque version of his predecessor, Gearhead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make various versions of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; [[W.A.R.S.]] and the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; incarnation of [[Camshaft (G1)|Camshaft]]. It was planned to be used to make &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; [[Greasepit (G2)|Greasepit]], but that toy was canceled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This planned [[redeco]] of the [[Laser Cycle]] [[Road Pig (G2)|Road Pig]] would have seen Soundwave transform to a blue and silver Harley-Davidson Electra Glide touring motorcycle, with an LED-lit tailpipe that became an arm-mounted weapon in robot mode. Ultimately, however, it ended up as one of several planned late-1995 &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; redecoes that never made it to release. The cancellation was presumably a comparatively last-minute decision, since several of these toys, including Soundwave and fellow Laser Cycle redeco [[Jazz (G1)/toys#LaserCycle|Jazz]], &#039;&#039;were&#039;&#039; solicited in various store catalogues, such as the Sears Wish Book. Some packaged samples of this toy do exist, but there are estimated to be less than a dozen in existence.&lt;br /&gt;

His ICBM can mount on either shoulder or his back in robot mode, and retains Stalker&#039;s [[Megavisor]] gimmick; a panel on the top slides open to reveal a port for the smaller Predator jets to attach to, allowing their Megavisor slides to be viewed through the &amp;quot;scope&amp;quot; of the missile. Stalker&#039;s own unique built-in slide, however, was removed for the Soundwave version of the figure. Also missing from this version of the toy are Stalker&#039;s hand-held missile launcher and accompanying ammunition, due to [[for safety reasons|safety concerns]] over their small size.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The first reissue of Soundwave&#039;s original toy was released as part of Takara&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers Collection]]&#039;&#039;, and this time came with [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Laserbeak]]. The toy reinstates Soundwave&#039;s chest-mounted Decepticon symbol, relocating the rubsign to the cover of his battery compartment, but otherwise features no notable differences from the original, post-button-remold version of the figure. This was, however, many international fans&#039; first exposure to Soundwave&#039;s modified button mold, and it was erroneously assumed by many that the change had been first made for this release as an artefact of modifying the Soundblaster mold back into Soundwave.&lt;br /&gt;

:Not ones to waste the opportunity now that they had the mold back in action, Takara also reissued Soundblaster as part of the &#039;&#039;Transformers Collection&#039;&#039;, sweetening the deal by including not just his original partner Buzzsaw, but also the first reissue of [[Ravage (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Ravage]].

&lt;br /&gt;
: Standing at only two inches tall, &#039;&#039;[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]&#039;&#039; Soundwave is an extremely small-scale replica of his original Generation 1 toy. Although his retracting fists, rotating head and missile accessories are left out, the figure otherwise retains a surprising amount of the original toy&#039;s functions and features, including the ability to store his weapons as batteries and an opening chest door. This opening chest accommodates Soundwave&#039;s in-package partner, [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Smallest Transforming Transformers|&#039;&#039;Smallest Transforming Transformers&#039;&#039; Ravage]], who is probably &#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039; smallest Transformer ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave was originally released as part of the first &#039;&#039;Smallest Transforming Transformers&#039;&#039; wave, and was then made available again in the limited-availability &amp;quot;Wave 2.5&amp;quot; the following year, without changes. In both instances, as with the rest of the figures in the line, he was sold in [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] packaging.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Due to the lack of fiction for either toy in the set, it is &#039;&#039;possible&#039;&#039; that this incarnation is in fact an alternate-universe version of Soundwave, some incarnation of [[Soundwave (BW)|that OTHER Soundwave]], or possibly even a new character altogether.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Titanium Series]]&#039;&#039; Soundwave is a new toy cast in the image of his original Generation 1 figure, still transforming through a virtually identical process into a microcassette player mode. He retains his transforming weapons, which still store as batteries in a compartment on his back, and his opening chest door, which accommodates the diminutive transforming Laserbeak figure packaged with him. Soundwave comes with the standard display base that all other 6&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;Titanium Series&#039;&#039; figures come with, and a unique nameplate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Titanium&#039;&#039; Soundwave has been the subject of much criticism among fans, simply because the toy is patently inferior to the original Generation 1 figure that it seeks to emulate, despite being made with modern toy technology. In particular, its disproportionate, oddly-shaped crotch area makes it look like Soundwave is wearing a diaper, and its poor leg engineering makes it virtually impossible for them to stay extended, and as a result, the toy is barely able to stand up. The cumulative effect is a Soundwave who is not unlike [http://news.tfw2005.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/1969/12/39471474f18fcac9b2_0.jpg a baby].&lt;br /&gt;

Although displayed at [[BotCon 2007]], Soundblaster was ultimately canceled along with many other solicited 6&amp;quot; Cybertron Heroes, but this did not stop him from appearing as a cross-sell on the packaging for &#039;&#039;Titanium&#039;&#039; [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Prowl]] in late 2008 (which claimed he would have been &amp;quot;also available&amp;quot; as of November 2008), as Hasbro was unwilling to spend the resources on altering the packaging for these already-complete products.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Laserbeak, Battle Ravage, 2 tape cases, rocket launcher, 3 rockets, concussion blaster&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Hasbro&#039;s first reissue of the original Soundwave toy was originally intended to be part of their &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]&#039;&#039; of Generation 1 reissues, but when that line was cancelled, it was instead released as part of the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]&#039;&#039; toyline. The phrase &amp;quot;Commemorative Edition&amp;quot; is prominently displayed on the front and sides of the box, though, and it remains exclusive to [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]], as all Commemorative Edition toys were.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite both the packaging&#039;s claim that it is &amp;quot;identical to the original toy,&amp;quot; and the image on the packaging showing Soundwave with his traditional chest-door, the figure actually sports the double-wide door of Sound&#039;&#039;blaster&#039;&#039; (complete with extra tech-detailing), which allows him to carry both of his pack-in partners, Laserbeak and &amp;quot;Battle&amp;quot; Ravage. In an unusual move for a Hasbro release, the set also includes two clear-plastic cassette cases for the two tapes, previously only included with Takara versions of the figures. Per stringent child safety laws, his spring-loaded weapons were neutered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Sadly, in the Canadian markets, this version of Soundwave was pushed back over a year from the original release date, and very few Toys &amp;quot;R&amp;quot; Us&#039; had them. Dang.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave was later re-released in Hasbro&#039;s Asian markets in slightly altered packaging that omitted the Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us sticker (for obvious reasons) and changed the age recommendation from &amp;quot;Ages 8+&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Ages 5+&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Released as part of TakaraTomy&#039;s small &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]&#039;&#039; toyline, this incarnation of Soundwave drags the character kicking and screaming into the digital age as a working MP3 player. Despite his new electronic abilities, Soundwave still transforms, in a manner virtually identical to his original Generation 1 figure, no less. He still comes with his trademark pair of weapons (although they no longer double as batteries, since he&#039;s got a real one in there now!) plus three sets of hands: two clenched, two for holding his guns, and two posed as if he is pressing his &amp;quot;eject&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave runs on a single AAA battery, lasting for about six hours of continuous play, and operates using a miniSD card; the packaging claims it can only support up to 1GB, but reports indicate it can actually take up to 2GB. The distinctive buttons on Soundwave&#039;s pelvis are now working buttons that control the player: play/pause/power, next, previous, volume up and volume down. Naturally, the player also comes with a set of headphones, but an optional accessory, sold separately, can take their place: a set of &#039;&#039;transforming&#039;&#039; headphones in the image of Rumble and Frenzy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave was initially released in two color schemes: &amp;quot;Spark Blue&amp;quot;, his normal blue and silver colors; and &amp;quot;Sonic White&amp;quot;, a mostly white color scheme with some blue detailing, echoing the traditional [[iPod]] color scheme. When the toy received a second production run later in the year, the &amp;quot;Sonic White&amp;quot; version was replaced with a new Soundblaster-inspired &amp;quot;Blaster Black&amp;quot; deco.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The &amp;quot;Sonic White&amp;quot; version was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the mirror-universe &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]&#039;&#039; [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: During one of Hasbro&#039;s designer panels at [[BotCon 2008]], an audience member questioned the feasibility of releasing this figure in the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|2008 &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; toy line]], but &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;without&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; the expensive MP3 player electronics. Bizarrely, Hasbro design director [[Aaron Archer]] gave a seemingly prepared statement that did not answer the question at all, and instead stated that Hasbro were unlikely to release &#039;&#039;Music Label&#039;&#039; Soundwave in their markets due to the obscurity of the MiniSD memory card format. (For what it&#039;s worth, Hasbro&#039;s [[Greg Lombardo]] had given an actual answer to the same question at [[BotCon 2007]], when he stated that ML Soundwave&#039;s innards are so devoted to electronics that removing them might adversely impact the leftover toy&#039;s appearance and stability.)&lt;br /&gt;

:The original Soundwave toy was made available once again as part of TakaraTomy&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Encore]]&#039;&#039; series of reissues. Aside from a slightly lighter shade to his blue plastic and similar changes to his accompanying stickers, the figure remained unchanged from its previous reissues.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundblaster was available again as part of TakaraTomy&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Encore]]&#039;&#039; series of reissues. This release includes two new cassette partners: [[Enemy (G1)|Enemy]] and [[Wingthing (G1)|Wingthing]]. &lt;br /&gt;
:For this release Soundblaster features additional silver paint on his face plate and sides of his head, red metallic eyes instead of yellow, and the removal of the silver paint on his crest in an effort for animation accuracy. In addition he has a large Decepticon logo tampographed on his chest. All the label stickers from the previous releases of Soundblaster have been reproduced via tampographs as well, with the exception of the stickers for his weapons which come preapplied. The coloration of the blue labels has also been altered to replace some of the blue (but not all) with black.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: In 2009, Hasbro released yet another reissue of Soundwave as part of the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; line, this time as a [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] exclusive that was prominently offered at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2009. After Hasbro&#039;s last reissue of the figure had used the double-sized Soundblaster chest door, this version of Soundwave reinstated his original door, and came packaged with no fewer than &#039;&#039;four&#039;&#039; tapes: Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, and [[Ratbat (G1)/toys|Ratbat]]. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Retaining &#039;&#039;exactly the same&#039;&#039; plastic colors as his WFC toy, Soundwave instead features an extensive metallic blue/violet [[Paint operation|paint]] scheme that covers a majority of his vehicle mode (as well as some robot parts, like his head, for example). The purple highlights on the Hasbro version are replaced with a bright pink, the metallic details on his chest are a milder shade of gold, and his chest insignia is in full color.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Stock photography#Takara stock photos|Comically]], the action-oriented stock photo on the back of his packaging has him mis-transformed. His hinged crotch has not been pegged to his main body, with the result looking like Soundwave wearing a diaper... again.&lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the first assortment of &amp;quot;Custom Kreons&amp;quot;, this version of Soundwave comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His [[tampograph]]s are much more heavily-detailed than the original Kreon, based on the [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Soundwave toy]]. His &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; helmet and grenade launcher are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the &#039;&#039;Kre-O Battleship&#039;&#039; aliens), plus a buildable cannon based around the aforementioned chrome gun, a small scoped pistol, a double-barreled blaster, and a two-piece curved-blade sword.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Blaster&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version of Soundwave, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]], has much more elaborately toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior versions. He comes with a blue version of the new blaster from the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]] Kre-O&#039;&#039; sets, and a back-brace piece that we guess is there for gun-mounting purposes. There&#039;s also a bunch of &amp;quot;cassettes&amp;quot; based on the various [[Decepticon Mini-Cassette|Recordicon]]s packed in the box that ostensibly go with him, but are part of the big block of extra accessories and we&#039;re just filling space here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The head under the helmet has no mouth whatsoever, which is somehow creepier than the speaker-mouths of the prior Kreons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was only available in the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] &amp;quot;Kreon Class of 1984&amp;quot; set of thirty Kreons, commemorating the franchise&#039;s thirty years. Remaining stock was to be sold online at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]], but there &#039;&#039;was&#039;&#039; no remaining stock by the end of the convention.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Stand-plate, clip-on bird, double-bladed pike, orc shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave&#039;s second Kreon Warrior, also part of the second collection, is part of the Knight theme. He also has a clip-on &amp;quot;Laserbeak&amp;quot;-y bird, but this one is deco&#039;d up to look wooden. His shield also bears a coat of arms featuring two bird heads and a feline head. What could &#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039; mean? Hmmmmm....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His helmet and accessories all hail from the &#039;&#039;Kre-O Dungeons &amp;amp; Dragons&#039;&#039; sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Like all the Kreons released that year (at normal retail at least), he uses the new 2015-tooling Kreon body, which basically involves small construction changes on every part below the head, making them largely incompatible with the prior Kreon parts (heads still work fine), but the new tooling adds some extra functionality and structural support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Kreon Warriors were only released in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. The individual bags had also abandoned any kind of coding that identified the contents. This means getting the one you want from an unopened bag involves either trying to feel out the unique parts, or just buying the whole dang case.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Stand-plate, clip-on bird, 2 pistols&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the second wave of Kreon Warriors, &amp;quot;Wiseguy Soundwave&amp;quot; is a 1920s gangster-styled Kreon. He sports a slicked-back gray wig, dual pistols, and a clip-on bird that&#039;s painted like [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#Wiseguy|Laserbeak]] and probably &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039; meant to be Laserbeak but is not actually labeled &amp;quot;Laserbeak&amp;quot;. His body [[tampograph]]s suggest that he would turn into an old-timey jukebox. Awesome!&lt;br /&gt;

:Available in a two-pack set with [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Ratchet]], Battle Changers Soundwave is a built-up Kreon that transforms from robot to spaceship (somewhat resembling the [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|&#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; incarnation of Soundwave]]) and back &#039;&#039;without&#039;&#039; needing to be disassembled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Soundwave is loaded out with four different partners. [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Rumble]] become twin-blaster pods that can be mounted on his wings or legs. [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Laserbeak]] becomes chest armor for Soundwave&#039;s robot mode, or a set of tailfins for spaceship mode. And [[Ravage (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Ravage]] just kinda hangs on Soundwave&#039;s jet-mode underside, but becomes a backpack with over-the-shoulder blasters for Soundwave&#039;s robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This set, like all the Battle Changers, originally only saw release in Canada, Australia, and Asian markets. It eventually saw release in the U.S. in late 2015 through discount stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] Voyager Class &#039;&#039;Generations [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; toys, Soundwave is a larger mold, and comes with a shoulder cannon which can peg (via 5mm post) into his hands, right shoulder, and roof/back. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also comes with [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] [[Laserbeak (WFC)#Generations|Laserbeak]], who utilizes Soundwave&#039;s main [[gimmick]], storing and launching Laserbeak and other &amp;quot;[[data disc]]&amp;quot; minions. A button to the left of his head can be pressed to open his spring-loaded chest compartment, allowing up to three data discs to be stored inside. With discs stored, his back panel/roof now acts as a plunger, which can be moved forward in either mode to launch minions out. Launched minions should land on buttons on their undersides, thus triggering their [[Flipchanger|spring-loaded transformation mechanisms]] and springing them into action! ...Hopefully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As an undocumented feature, the seat on his vehicle roof holds &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; drivers. Additionally, Soundwave&#039;s trigger finger is molded into his left hand, presumably so he can push his own eject button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: For some reason, his [[stock photography]] and [[instructions]] depict him with the &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Optimus Prime]] toy&#039;s [[Ion blaster]] accessory, which isn&#039;t included with the final product.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The [[TakaraTomy]] release of Soundwave, part of the fourth wave of Japanese &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; toys, features different colors, using a more purple-ish metallic shade of blue and replacing almost all of his gray parts (the exceptions being his face and &amp;quot;grill&amp;quot;) with a much darker metallic shade. It also features none of the red and yellow [[paint operation|paint details]] on his arms and legs, and renders the seat on his roof black. He features new paint applications in addition to those not present from the Hasbro version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Soundwave was [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed into [[Blaster (FOC)#Toys|Autobot Blaster]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: A [[redeco]] and [[retool]] of [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Autobot Blaster]] (you may have expected this), Soundwave is part of the second wave of Leader Class &#039;&#039;[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]&#039;&#039; figures, transforming from robot to soundbar to stage mode and back (or even his Cybertronian lamppost mode in the &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; cartoon if you&#039;re feeling fiddly). In addition to Blaster&#039;s rifle and recolored rocket-sled, Soundwave also comes with his signature cannon &amp;quot;battery&amp;quot;, which can plug into his shoulder, or store on his back while he in alt mode. He includes a [[Titan Master]] partner, [[Soundblaster (Generations)#Toys|Soundblaster]], who can turn into his head or man Soundwave&#039;s &#039;stage&#039; mode. Soundwave is also capable of holding Legends Class &#039;spy-tablet&#039; figures in his chest compartment.  Unlike most Titans Return toys, Soundwave doesn&#039;t have an obvious place to store Soundblaster when he&#039;s in stereo mode, although he can be inserted into the underside of the rocket sled, which in turn can be stored inside Soundwave&#039;s body, at the cost of available space for any of the Legends figures. Soundwave also features many (nonfunctional but realistic-size) device ports on his back and legs, such as dual-prong power ports, headphone jacks and USB ports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave&#039;s instruction sheet contains an error where it says that his base mode is compatible with other &#039;&#039;Titans Return&#039;&#039; toys&#039; base modes: it has Powermaster Optimus Prime labeled as &amp;quot;Autobot Blaster&amp;quot;. Some toys have stress marks on the hatch that opens to hide his head in base and stereo mode even before opening the box.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was redecoed into &#039;&#039;[[#Golden Lagoon|Golden Lagoon]]&#039;&#039; Soundwave, and further retooled into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]&#039;&#039; [[Soundwave (ROTF)#Bumblebee|Soundwave]].&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the second wave of &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class figures, Soundwave transforms from a &#039;&#039;heavily&#039;&#039; G1-inspired robot to a rather unfocused &amp;quot;Patrol Hovercraft&amp;quot; and back. As noted by Hasbro designer [[John Warden]], he also has an &amp;quot;easter egg&amp;quot; third mode - a “Cybertronian Sensor Lamp” inspired by his appearance in &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&amp;quot;. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/siege-red-alert-revealed-stock-photos-for-nycc-siege-figures-design-notes-from-warden-nycc/42180/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; While not shown in the directions, an image of this mode can be found on the side flap of the bottom of the box of all places, as well as the side of the box when a black light is shone on it. Soundwave features an opening chest compartment that can accommodate his usual &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;[[Decepticon Mini-Cassette|Cassettes]]&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;[[Minicons]]&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;[[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]]s&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; [[Micromaster]]s [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Laserbeak]] and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ravage]], who are sold seperately in the Micro Masters assortment, and has his left index finger molded out so that he can be posed pressing his own &#039;eject&#039; button, as well as slots on his arms for Laserbeak to perch on. He also includes three weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], two of which are based on his classic sonic blaster and shoulder cannon, and all three can combine to form the &amp;quot;USW HF Sonic Compression Mega-Blaster.&amp;quot; Compared to his contemporaries in the &#039;&#039;Siege&#039;&#039; line, Soundwave is absolutely &#039;&#039;slathered&#039;&#039; in &#039;battle damage&#039; paint applications all over his body, meaning attempts to remove said paint will result in his design-origin paint details being removed as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave features a lightpiped yellow visor as an homage to [[#Generation 1|his G1 toy]], a rarity in modern Soundwave toys. His altmode is also slightly mistransformed in the image to the right, with the entire lower body twisted around. &lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Soundwave&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[January 26]], [[2013]]/[[September 28]], 2013)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;ID number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-13&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: [[Laserbeak (G1)#Masterpiece|Condor]], Condor &amp;quot;case&amp;quot;, energon cube &amp;amp; lid (three in total in the Amazon.co.jp version), display panel, concussion blaster, [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP13|Megatron gun]] (consists of pistol, scope, silencer, &amp;amp; stock), sensor&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Soundwave is a more intricately engineered version of his Generation 1 design, transforming into his classic tape deck alternate mode, but substantially thicker. His chest compartment still opens, of course, and remains scaled to accommodate the original &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; mini-cassette figures, as well as the new &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; mini-cassette figures, such as his pack-in partner, Condor. A spring-loaded panel inside his chest can be pushed back in increments to allow Soundwave to hold up to three cassettes at once; after one is removed, pressing a button on his back slides the panel forward, pushing the remaining cassettes up and putting the next into position, ready to be removed when his chest door his opened again. However, this feature is so &#039;&#039;finnicky&#039;&#039; that his [[instructions]] actually have to include a little segment telling owners what &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; to do with the toy to make sure it works.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave comes with his traditional concussion blaster weapon, and his non-firing rocket launcher is now an integrated, non-removable piece. Unlike the Generation 1 toy, both cannon and launcher do not become batteries for his alternate mode, instead storing on his back. He also comes with the wrist-mounted sensor from &amp;quot;[[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain]]&amp;quot;, and his forearm panel opens up to reveal sculpted speakers. He also comes with a [[retool]] of the Megatron gun [[Megatron (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|originally released]] with &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|MP-01 Convoy]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Additionally, Soundwave comes with an empty energon cube which can plug into his chest panel, and a grid-patterned display panel that also fits over his chest door. His instruction booklet includes two images that can be cut out and slipped between Soundwave&#039;s chest and the display panel to simulate readouts displayed in &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|More than Meets the Eye]]&amp;quot;: the [[Victory (G1)|Decepticon space cruiser&#039;s]] blue prints and intel reports hacked from [[Teletraan I]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave and his accessories can also interact with the other &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; mini-cassette figures in many other ways. Laserbeak or [[Buzzsaw (G1)#Masterpiece|Buzzsaw]] can perch onto the tabs on Soundwave&#039;s shoulders and forearms. Soundwave can also wear &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Rumble (G1)#Masterpiece|Rumble]] and/or [[Frenzy (G1)#Masterpiece|Frenzy]]&#039;s piledrivers on his forearms as cannons, and can store one set of Rumble or Frenzy&#039;s guns in compartments on Soundwave&#039;s feet/at the back of his tapedeck mode. Additionally, Soundwave&#039;s sensor can combine with Rumble and Frenzy&#039;s piledrivers to form the link cable used by Soundwave to hook up to a larger monitor in &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The edition purchased via [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.com]] in Japan came with two additional energon cubes. The Asian version includes a commemorative coin contained in a package looking like Soundwave&#039;s tapedeck mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For this release, some Soundwaves suffer from a [[Quality control|paint error]], leaving the small upside-down triangle on his forehead crest unpainted, though it is animation accurate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave was re-released on September 28th, 2013. The minor quality control issues with the re-release were lessened or not as widespread as the initial release.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: The Hasbro release of Masterpiece Soundwave features a slightly different deco than the Takara version, such as a yellow visor instead of a red one, and leaving the Rumble/Frenzy gun storage panels on his feet unpainted. All of the accessories included with the Takara release are ported over to the Hasbro set (with the exception of the cut-out images for use with his display panel), plus all five of the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; microcassettes. The cassettes also feature different decoes than their Takara counterparts (see their own articles for details), and their cases are cast in clear plastic instead of the translucent hot pink the Japanese versions came with. His highly truncated instructions omit any explanation of virtually all of his accessories, action features, and interactions with his minions. Finally, he has a designated number as part of the &#039;&#039;[[Thrilling 30]]&#039;&#039; line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave is exclusive to [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us|ToysЯUs]] stores. He was released earlier (with fellow &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Acid Storm (G1)#Masterpiece|Acid Storm]]) in limited numbers at San Diego Comic Con 2013.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soundwave was also reissued in 2016 by Hasbro Asia under &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]&#039;&#039; co-branding, packaged with a mini die cast cassette player based on his alt mode. Some of the images in this picture were plagiarized for the promotion.&lt;br /&gt;

: Following tradition, &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Soundblaster is a black redeco of the first MP Soundwave figure. While the chest door is cast in toy accurate red, the additional display panel is cast in translucent purple allowing for optional cartoon accuracy. Soundblaster includes all of the other accessories included with Soundwave as well, with the energon cube and Megatron gun now being cast entirely in translucent red plastic, as well as Ratbat. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The result of a team-up between [[Hasbro]] and Chinese consumer electronics company {{w|Xiaomi}}, Soundwave transforms from an officially licensed Mi Pad 2 tablet to a Voyager-sized robot in 30 steps. The transformation is accomplished through a series of clever folds and wraps to achieve a three-dimensional robot mode from such a flat and thin alternate mode. The robot mode lacks neck movement but otherwise features decent articulation with tiny ratchet joints. He is armed with a large blaster rifle, a shield, and even a [[Ratbat (G1)/toys|Ratbat]]-like minion that is formed from some of his kibble. The head sculpt shares a lot of similar structures with the [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Movie version]] of Soundwave, but with facial elements from G1 Soundwave. His [[instructions|instruction booklet]] is die-cut into a Decepticon symbol. As an added little easter egg, the Mi Pad logo is sculpted into the base of his robot mode neck, though it is covered when the halves of his head are aligned in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure&#039;s production was funded primarily through crowdfunding. Backers could pledge a minimum of 169 Yuan (or $26) to receive the figure if their funding goal was met. The amount of pledges more than tripled their goal amount which may lead to a wider release for the figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Whether by design or coincidence, the Mi Pad&#039;s camera ends up on the robot mode&#039;s right shoulder where Soundwave usually has his iconic shoulder cannon.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*According to an interview in the magazine &#039;&#039;Otaku USA&#039;&#039; (issue 3, pg. 102-3), the original Microchange toy and the accompanying cassettes were at least partially designed by famed mecha designer and anime director [[Shinji Aramaki]]. He did not come up with the transformation scheme, but designed most of the outward appearance and details. He also worked on the toys that became the deluxe [[Insecticon (G1)#Generation 1|Insecticons]], [[Reflector (G1)#Generation 1|Reflector]], and [[Perceptor (G1)#Generation 1|Perceptor]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Including the &#039;&#039;[[Micro Change|Microchange]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Cassette Man&amp;quot; version, the original Soundwave mold has sported at least four different tape doors:&lt;br /&gt;
**The original MC-10 version had a cassette door that had &amp;quot;Cassette Man&amp;quot; emblazoned on it and featured a hinge that was internal to the robot&#039;s body.&lt;br /&gt;
**For the initial &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; release by Hasbro, the &amp;quot;Cassette Man&amp;quot; text was removed.&lt;br /&gt;
**When [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] released the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; version of Soundwave in Japan, they [[retool]]ed the hinge so the bottom of the door attached to the outside of the robot, on either side of the &amp;quot;buttons&amp;quot;, which had also been retooled. Both versions of Soundwave were available in Japan, making the retool a running change [[variant]].&lt;br /&gt;
**The Soundblaster version had a door that retained the external hinge and added the capacity for holding a second cassette.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Classics Soundwave.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Pimp My Ride.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*The Decepticon faction insignia appears to be roughly based on Soundwave&#039;s head.&lt;br /&gt;
*Though Soundwave&#039;s toy is a microcassette recorder, his fictional appearances depict him as a stereo cassette deck or Walkman. (Likewise, his microcassette tapes are depicted as regular audio cassettes.)&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Years ago&amp;quot;, [[Don Figueroa]] created a concept drawing for a potential SUV-esque Soundwave toy for &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;classics&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.unicron.com/news_item/1132/ Don Figueroa, New Concept Art &amp;amp; comics news!]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Presumably, this toy would have been Voyager-sized.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;classicslineup&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/possible-transformers-classic-line-up-4336/ Early rumors about the line-up for Classics] (spot on except for Soundwave and a Deluxe-sized Optimus Prime who was later seen as a prototype)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Despite the [[fandom]]&#039;s immediate assumptions, &#039;&#039;Transformers Animated&#039;&#039; character designer [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] has said that this particular design did &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; in fact influence the [[Soundwave (Animated)|&#039;&#039;Animated&#039;&#039; version of Soundwave]], meaning any resemblance between the two is coincidental.&lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;quot;[[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Stealth Bumblebee]]&amp;quot; set includes a tiny buildable &amp;quot;cassette recorder&amp;quot; that includes a sticker of Soundwave&#039;s recorder mode. You wanna say it&#039;s Soundwave? Go right ahead on. It&#039;s what the [[Two Giant Bases! Everybody Getting Along, Come On, Fight!|Kre-O manga]] did, after all.&lt;br /&gt;
*Some of the writers of [[Ask Vector Prime]] planned to characterize the [[#Universe (2003)|2003 &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039;]] Soundwave toy and its package-mate [[Space Case (G2)#Universe (2003)|Space Case]] as [[Female Transformer|female]] and part of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039;]] continuity family. A backstory that was written for them were that they were known as the &amp;quot;Decepti-Sister Idols&amp;quot;, infamous for using their melodic voices and feminine charm to make the Autobots incapable of stopping them from committing certain crimes. Ultimately, however, this idea did not come to fruition.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/133737-beast-wars-uprising-ama/?p=3406831 Verity Carlo, Allspark post on 24th December 24:03]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; has many toys, so logic dictates that they should receive a page. Logic also dictates that they should be awesome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Toys==&lt;br /&gt;
===Generation 1===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:G1Shockwave toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|You can try to play Duck Hunt with him all day long, but it just doesn&#039;t work.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; (Decepticon, 1985)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;49&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Magnetic impulse defuser&amp;quot; barrel&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was one of the very first 1985 toys to see release, if not &#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039; first. Shockwave transforms into a large Cybertronian handgun, and features light and sound electronics powered by a 9-volt battery. Pulling his trigger activates a flashing light in his gun arm and one of two (fairly generic) blaster-sound frequencies, which are toggled between by a small switch on his backpack; in gun mode, the light winds up in his barrel. As a robot, he has a large, if not the most, amount of articulation for the era. Officially, his [[die-cast]] feet are rotated into his legs in gun mode, but if you wish to display him free-standing, leaving the feet out (as shown in the picture to the right) balances the figure and keeps him from tipping forward from the weight of his arms and barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The large Decepticon [[insignia]] on his chest has a thin purple outline tracing just beyond the margins of the symbol itself, a decorative feature unique in the entire history of the [[Transformers brand|brand]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was initially sold without a rub sign; one was later added to the side of his torso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The rubber hose covering the wires connecting his torso and arm&#039;s electronics is particularly prone to dry-rotting. Be careful!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Shockwave mold was licensed from the [[South Korea|Korean]] toy company [[ToyCo]].&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Shockwave with Fistfight&#039;&#039;&#039; (Action Master, 1990)&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Double-barreled &amp;quot;Turbo Rifle&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As an [[Action Master]], Shockwave is a non-transforming action figure who combines elements of his cartoon model and original toy, with a few more details. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. Part of the third wave of individually-carded Action Master figures, He came with his small robot [[Action Master partner|partner]] [[Fistfight (G1)|Fistfight]], who combines with Shockwave&#039;s handgun to form a &amp;quot;Lightning Gun&amp;quot; cannon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Reportedly, early &amp;quot;test market&amp;quot; releases came with a rubber hose that connects from his gun-arm to his back, like the original toy. There are holes in the toy&#039;s gun-arm and backpack; the black hoses found in many old &#039;&#039;[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]&#039;&#039; toys can fit in the holes.&lt;br /&gt;

===Alternators/Binaltech===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AlternatorsShockblast toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Guns akimbo.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Shockblast&#039;&#039;&#039; (Alternator, 2004)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Alternator ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;12&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese release date&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;[[April 4]], [[2005]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;BT-13&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Muffler-blaster&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]&#039;&#039; version of Shockwave is [[retool]] of &amp;quot;[[Jazz (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Meister]]&amp;quot; from the same line. Named &amp;quot;Shockblast&amp;quot; for [[trademark]] reasons, his [[alternate mode]] is a licensed, 1:24 [[scale]] {{w|Mazda RX-8}}, changing Meister&#039;s standard street model into a Mazdaspeed-modified version with new front and rear fenders, doors, side skirts and a spoiler (the Japanese &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; version, Laserwave, is specifically marketed as a &amp;quot;Mazdaspeed Version II&amp;quot;). He features [[rubber tires]], opening doors, hood and trunk, a detailed interior including seats and a dashboard complete with steering wheel, and a working &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism (which is not connected to the steering wheel, though). In robot mode, his muffler unfolds to become a hand-held blaster; it can also be arm-mounted thanks to the holes near the robot&#039;s elbow joints compatible with the muffler&#039;s vehicle-mode mounting peg. Shockblast also features a new head sculpt with a single eye that is illuminated using some very effective [[light-piping]], and an arm cannon made out of clear plastic that replaces his left hand. Undocumented in the instructions is a tab on the underside of each foot that can be positioned to make the figure more stable in certain poses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Takara&#039;s &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Laserwave has quite a number of small but significant changes from the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version. As per usual with &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; releases, his car shell partially constructed of [[die-cast]] metal rather than all-plastic, as well as having all the car body parts (including those made out of plastic) covered in a metal-flake paint. His passenger compartment has a hard-plastic steering wheel on the right-hand side of the car (as they are in Japan). He has [[Vacuum metallizing|vac-metal]] side-mirrors and &amp;quot;LWAVE&amp;quot; on his license plate (rather than Shockblast&#039;s &amp;quot;SHKWAV&amp;quot;). The &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism uses a magnet assembly to connect the steering axle to the front wheels instead of the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version&#039;s plastic insertion point. Plus it comes with a bonus large Decepticon [[insignia]] [[sticker]] that can be applied to a real car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockblast was later re-released as part of a Europe-only wave of &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toys in the same packaging style as the second North American &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; assortment, the latter of which Shockblast was &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; re-released in. Despite Hasbro re-claiming the &amp;quot;Shockwave&amp;quot; name by then, this re-release still calls him &amp;quot;Shockblast&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original Meister version of the sculpt was also released in a &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039;-only red version ([[repurposing|repurposed]] into &amp;quot;[[Zoom-Zoom]]&amp;quot; by the [[Story of Binaltech|official &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; fiction]]) and was later retooled into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]&#039;&#039; [[Autorooper]]. The Mazdaspeed car parts, but with Meister&#039;s original head sculpt and left hand, were later used to make the &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039;-only [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Argent|Argent Meister]].&lt;br /&gt;

Interestingly, Kreon Shockwave&#039;s chest is orange, like [[#ActionMaster|Action Master Shockwave]], while the lines in the orange section harken to [[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|&#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039;]] [[Shockblast]]&#039;s chest design.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Flask&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version of Shockwave has much more detailed, original-toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior version, plus his wrist-blaster is now clear-purple plastic. You can also replace the blaster with his clear-purple flask, which gives him a more &amp;quot;accurate&amp;quot; smaller blaster-hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was only available in a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the &amp;quot;[[Kreon Class of 1984]]&amp;quot;. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there &#039;&#039;was&#039;&#039; no remaining stock after the show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: His inclusion in the set is somewhat more justified than other 85~86 characters who appear in it, as while the original Shockwave toy was released in 1985, the character made an early debut in 1984 in both comics and cartoon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released as part of the second wave of Battle Changers, Shockwave is a massively built-up Kreon that transforms from robot to Cybertronic tank and back without removing any parts! The robot mode is based on that of Generation 1 Shockwave while the vehicle mode is based on that of [[Shockwave (WFC)|&#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; Shockwave]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:All of the 2015 &#039;&#039;Transformers [[Kre-O]]&#039;&#039; product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class toys, Shockwave transforms into a &amp;quot;Cybertronian mobile artillery&amp;quot; mode. The front center fuselage of the vehicle becomes a [[5 mm post|hand-held]] &amp;quot;laser cannon&amp;quot; that&#039;s modeled after the [[Sling Shock#Generations|Sling Shock]]. It can be stored on a 5mm port on his back, and undocumented in his [[instructions]], can replace his hands by folding either one of them in, revealing a socket on his wrist that a tab underneath his cannon can mount to. As another undocumented feature, the cannon actually consists of two pieces, with a large y-shaped barrel that can be removed, revealing the sculpted ends of a triple-barreled gun. The y-shaped barrel part can also be stored on Shockwave&#039;s back, forming some sort of [[jet pack|jet-pack]] exhaust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave features two examples of [[Kibble#faux-parts|faux-parts]]: The undersides of his heels resemble the front end of the y-shaped barrel part, effectively serving as an extension of the barrel in vehicle mode, whereas a fake replica of the top end of his head (including his signature &amp;quot;ear&amp;quot; panels) is sculpted on the top side of his vehicle mode (which ends up on the underside of his backpack in robot mode).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure has a &amp;quot;dramatic reveal&amp;quot; feature, where pressing the chest into place causes the head to pop up. The clasp used to hold the spring-loaded piece in place is fairly strong, and requires a small amount of force to latch if the head isn&#039;t pressed down before moving the chest assembly. Depending on the individual quality of the figure, this can cause the latch to wear out, and the spring is strong enough that the head will push the whole assembly out of place in vehicle mode if not properly retracted. As such, care should be taken on this step of conversion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was [[redeco]]ed/retooled into &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039; [[Fireflight (FOC)#Generations|Air Raid]] and [[BotCon 2014]] [[Brimstone (G1 Star Seeker)#Timelines|Brimstone]].&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the fifth wave of the &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; Legends Class figures, &amp;quot;Decepticon Shockwave&amp;quot; is an all new mold that transforms into a &amp;quot;cannon&amp;quot; that resembles his original laser gun mode!  Homaging a scene from &amp;quot;[[The Revenge of Bruticus]]&amp;quot;, a 5mm peg folds down from the bottom of the cannon to form a gun mode which &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039; [[Bruticus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Bruticus]] (or any other &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039;-style Combiner mode fist, or even his [[#Masterpiece|&#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure]]) can wield, though a molded gun handle a few millimeters ahead of the 5mm peg makes the connection incompatible with many figures. Shockwave&#039;s weight unfortunately prevents most figures from being able to actually hold up without bringing said figure&#039;s arm or entire body down, even the combiners made specifically to hold him. The 5mm peg/gun handle combo also plugs into either the back of Bruticus or on top of [[Onslaught (G1)#Combiner Wars|Onslaught]]&#039;s vehicle mode, though the open space for Bruticus&#039;s head makes the latter attachment somewhat unstable. Shockwave only features a 5mm-compatible right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave also comes with a collector card based on his packaging art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was later redecoed/retooled as [[BotCon 2016]] [[Reflector (G1)#Combiner Wars|Reflector]] and [[Flash Sentry#Toys|Flash Sentry]] and served as the model for the non-toy &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]&#039;&#039; incarnation of [[Movor#Beast Wars: Uprising|Movor]].&lt;br /&gt;

:Available only with &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039; G2 Bruticus set, this Shockwave is a redeco of the Legends Class figure above, which is inspired by both [[#ActionMaster|his Action Master toy]] and &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; Onslaught&#039;s missile launcher. Despite appearing in a G2-themed set with G1 logos, this Shockwave comes with the movie version of the Decepticon faction symbol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Initial prototype photos shows that Shockwave had a darker orange chest and left arm blaster; the final product changes it into chrome yellow. &lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Decepticon Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; (Cyber Battalion, 2018)&lt;br /&gt;
:Released in the third wave of the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]&#039;&#039; Cyber Battalion figures, Shockwave transforms into a spaceship in a few easy steps. Unlike most figures in the Cyber Series, Shockwave is not based on any existing &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; mold and has unique engineering. Additionally, he features a 5 mm-compatible fist and a well-articulated upper body, but lacks bicep swivels and knee articulation. His vehicle mode is loosely based on his original blaster mode but also takes some design cues from the [[#Fall of Cybertron|&#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039;]] and [[#Construct-Bots|&#039;&#039;Construct-Bots&#039;&#039;]] Shockwaves. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In vehicle mode, the upper body does not connect solidly anywhere resulting in parts moving out of place in copies with loose hinge joints. This is somewhat harder to correct than many figures due to how small the joint is and how it is recessed into the chest. His plastic is also cast in two different shades of purple, which contrast strongly against one another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Amusingly, considering how easily he transforms between modes, his alt-mode is mistransformed in the stock photo. The robot mode Shockwave head rotates to an altered head in a different shade of purple for the vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Debuting in Asian markets, this figure was later sold in the United States at Walgreens stores.&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]&#039;&#039; Leader Class figures, Shockwave is a heavily G1-inspired Voyager-sized robot that can assume a small Leader-sized super robot mode with &#039;&#039;four arms&#039;&#039; by combining with armor consisting of two shoulder pads, two platform boot pieces, and a backpack. These pieces are compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], and can be placed in many configurations on his body, but there are only two official ones. Shockwave features multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons (such as his cannon arm now called the &amp;quot;LV-1 Thermal Range Neuron Beam&amp;quot;) to accommodate &amp;quot;Fire Blasts&amp;quot; from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. Although promotional images of the figure depict the waist, upper arms, shoulder joints, and the backs of Shockwave’s calves as a more vibrant violet, the retail version has these molded in the deep indigo as the rest of the figure. Like other figures in the same line, Shockwave features &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; paint. Unlike the others however, the only paint applied to the primary figure is found on his feet, while a great deal has been applied to the armor pieces instead.  The figure also features two [[light-piping]] effects, one for the eye in robot mode and another for the bridge in spaceship mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave himself transforms into a spaceship resembling [[Sixshot#Generations|an upside-down laser gun]]. His armor pieces can also combine with this mode, augmenting it into a Cybertronian destroyer not entirely dissimilar to the &#039;&#039;[[Revenge (G1)|Revenge]]&#039;&#039;. The armor pieces can combine to form a hovercraft the figure can stand on as well. The platform boot pieces are nominally attached under Shockwave&#039;s feet to give him a height boost, but they can also attach to the sides of his legs to give him [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|leg-mounted guns]], as seen in the picture at right, which also has a different positioning for the shoulder cannons. This configuration is only in a few TakaraTomy stock photos, and along with the hovercraft, isn&#039;t featured in the instructions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Caution should be taken with the rubber hose on the figure, as it&#039;s very prone to stress and breaking, especially at the plug connection point.  This seems to be due to it being slightly too short, causing a great deal of tension on the point where it attaches to Shockwave&#039;s body when he&#039;s in spaceship mode or has his arm extended. Some of the 5mm ports on his body are also too large to fit securely, while some are just slightly too small to the point of making the hose difficult to remove and increasing the risk of breakage while trying.&lt;br /&gt;

As a [[Triple Changer]] he has a third Gerwalk-esque walking helicopter mode, called only an &amp;quot;alternate mode&amp;quot; to differentiate it from his &amp;quot;vehicle mode&amp;quot;, plus an official &amp;quot;Shockblast&amp;quot; cannon mode created by fiddling around with the toy. He has a pair of mechanical pincers which his &amp;quot;Astro Magnum&amp;quot; weapon can be fitted over and all four of his &amp;quot;Blast Arms&amp;quot; weapons can attach via c-clips to various sculpted rods. Shockwave was sold exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]] and came with the comic &amp;quot;[[TFC-D03]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Destron Laserwave&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[March 26]], [[2016]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-29&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left and right fists, translucent right fist, gun barrel (opaque and translucent), saluting right hand (opaque and translucent), &amp;quot;Laser Vulcan&amp;quot;, stand, die-cast Megatron Gun accessory (Asia reissue)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Destron Laserwave&amp;quot; is a painstakingly cartoon-accurate and toy-accurate figure, transforming into a large Cybertronian handgun and scaling with the rest of the Masterpiece line (since [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-09]]), standing slightly taller than the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 seeker mold]] and slightly shorter than [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-13 Soundwave]].  Though this figure&#039;s light purple coloration was controversial in some parts of the [[fandom]], it is based directly off Shockwave&#039;s original [[character model|animation model]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Similarly to [[#Generation 1|his original toy]], Laserwave has two separate electronic light gimmicks (but no sounds!). 2 LR44 batteries power the light in his left arm, which is activated by clicking a button on his forearm and causes his arm cannon to glow with purple light, pulsing in and out eight times after a single push. 2 AAA batteries power the light in the gun barrel, activated by—what else?—pulling his trigger; toggling a small switch on his abdomen determines if the gun barrel LED remains illuminated for as long as the trigger is held, or if it will automatically pulse in and out ten times. His eye lights up using [[light-piping]] from a large panel in the back of his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He includes a left fist that can be swapped out for his arm cannon, to replicate his two-handed appearance from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] episode &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, and an open &amp;quot;saluting&amp;quot; hand that can be swapped for his right fist based on the same scene from the same episode. Additionally, he includes translucent versions of his arm cannon and both right hands to match his original toy&#039;s appearance. The barrel of his gun mode ends up on his back in robot mode, in contrast to his original toy, for which it was attached as a separate piece (something that was also true for the cartoon, in which it usually flew in from off-screen when he transformed). To cover this change, he comes with a stand for his gun mode that folds up into a show-accurate backpack and clips over the barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a mini version of himself in gun mode which he can wield (called a &amp;quot;Laser Vulcan&amp;quot; in the instructions), as seen in the episode &amp;quot;[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, and a sticker sheet allowing him to have either classic Decepticon logos or cartoon-styled ones (with smaller eyes and a three-pointed central crest).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Asian countries outside of Japan, he comes with a collector coin. The coin package is shaped after Shockwave&#039;s chest on the outside with the inside part being decorated after his target scope, and refers to the character as Destron Laserwave (a deviation from the other collector coins, which always used the western names even for characters who have different names in Japan). In Asia, the figure was later reissued and came with a die-cast Megatron Gun accessory.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Defense Officer Laserwave&amp;quot; is a [[redeco]] of MP-29 sporting a much darker shade of purple that&#039;s more in line with both the [[#Generation 1|G1 toy]] and most of his animated appearances.  It was [[exclusive]] to [[TakaraTomy Mall]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He features a new head sculpt with slightly different details and proportions from the earlier Masterpiece, most obvious in his eye now being smaller and a less greenish shade. The hose on his small gun accessory is now made of plastic instead of fabric.  &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
:His forearms now feature tampographed G1-cartoon styled Decepticon symbols, rather than the [[Sticker|decal]] options of the original &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure. In addition, some of his dark purple is actually painted, as is the silver on the barrel of his gun mode. This means special care must be taken to avoid scratching the paint when clipping the backpack around the gun barrel in robot mode. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Unusually for a &#039;&#039;Legends&#039;&#039; release, he&#039;s referred to by his English market name rather than &amp;quot;Laserwave&amp;quot;, presumably for trademark and/or marketing reasons. [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|A later &#039;&#039;Legends&#039;&#039; story]] would note that in-universe, Laserwave had changed his name to &amp;quot;Shockwave&amp;quot;.

Like all the Decepticons in the series, Shockwave was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Shockwave was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.&lt;br /&gt;

Like all Decepticon Decoys, Shockwave was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots.

An image of this statue made a cameo in the 2009 film &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039;, featuring in a newspaper that was sucked up by [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was likely to have been one of several &#039;&#039;Transformers [[Attacktix]]&#039;&#039; Booster pieces, using a wide, powerful, spring-loaded &amp;quot;blaster&amp;quot; missile launcher attack. He was to be a 40-point Leader-class piece. Though displayed as part of the &#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039; display at the [[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]] &amp;quot;Celebration IV&amp;quot; convention, Shockwave was ultimately never released as the &#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039; toyline was put on ice.&lt;br /&gt;

The small figure was randomly included with single cans of the company&#039;s &amp;quot;Rainbow Mountain Blend&amp;quot; coffee, contained in a plastic capsule affixed to the top of can which then became a display base for the figurine once removed. Shockwave features articulation at the shoulders and waist, and came with a small catalog leaflet that could be folded up and attached to the lid/base to form a diorama background for added display value.&lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the third wave of [[Mighty Muggs]], Shockwave is a [[super deformed]], non-transformable PVC figure with articulated arms and head. As all Mighty Muggs are made from the same mold, he has a really weird-looking round head. His left arm, however, is [[retool]]ed to include his trademark gun hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was briefly believed to be canceled, but Hasbro revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 that his wave would be released. Along with the rest of his wave, Shockwave was eventually released as an exclusive at Diamond Distributors and [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] stores.&lt;br /&gt;

The toy&#039;s press release identifies the tapes as [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys|Laserbeak]], [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Ravage]] and [[Ratbat (G1)/toys|Ratbat]], but since all three sport the sculpted details of the original Laserbeak toy and are colored red, gold, and orange they visually appear to be Laserbeak and his redecos [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys|Buzzsaw]] and [[Sundor]], respectively.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ToyCoAstroMagnum.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|&amp;quot;Shackwave&amp;quot;? &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Shackwave&amp;quot;?!&#039;&#039;&#039; RADIOWAVE, [[fandom|you]] idiots!]]&lt;br /&gt;
*  Although Shockwave was depicted in the very first episode of the original cartoon series, he did not receive a toy release until early in 1985. Unlike the bulk of early Transformers that drew their molds from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Micro Change|Microchange]]&#039;&#039; toys, Shockwave&#039;s original form was first produced by [[ToyCo]] as the &amp;quot;[http://soundwavesoblivion.blogspot.com/2015/05/shockwave-toyco-variants-part-1.html 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]&amp;quot;. As such, similar non-Transformer toys using the same mold were released in 1985, including a [[RadioShack]] exclusive called &amp;quot;Galactic Man&amp;quot;. A minor but amusing difference between the RadioShack version, humorously called &amp;quot;Shackwave&amp;quot; by fans, and the [[Hasbro]] version, is that Shockwave&#039;s inconveniently placed trigger was remolded and appears less... inconvenient.&lt;br /&gt;
** A 1985 Hasbro briefing binder gives Shockwave&#039;s toy the name &amp;quot;Spark Man,&amp;quot; which probably was a name attached to the toy, considering its similarity to Radio Shack&#039;s &amp;quot;Galactic Man,&amp;quot; rather than being an early name for the Hasbro character.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/ron-friedman-auction-hasbro-briefing_15.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He still hadn&#039;t settled into his finalized name at the time the script for &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|More than Meets the Eye]]&amp;quot; was written; in it, he is referred to as &#039;&#039;&#039;Flash Beam&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://boltax.blogspot.com/2011/02/ron-friedman-auctions-scripts-part-3-of.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shockwave was released by ToyCo in Korea in the 1980s at the same time Hasbro released him elsewhere. The only difference between the Korean version and the Hasbro release is a large &amp;quot;ToyCo&amp;quot; sticker on the front of the box.&lt;br /&gt;
** The name &amp;quot;4 Changeable&amp;quot; refers to the fact that the toy was advertised as having four modes. Before you get excited, though, those other two modes are &amp;quot;Vulcan Base&amp;quot; (the gun mode with the legs separated and feet folded out) and &amp;quot;Gunborg&amp;quot; (gun mode, arms separated and splayed a bit, feet folded out). There&#039;s a reason you never noticed them before.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Astro Magnum mold also appears to have been licensed to a small company called Village Toys in the 1980s, where it showed up in their [http://counter-x.net/footnotes/convert-a-bots/index.html Convert-A-Bots] line under the name &amp;quot;N-4-SR&amp;quot; (...&amp;quot;Enforcer&amp;quot;, get it?). There are at least two variants; one was dark grey, with purple highlights,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;n4sr1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://plasticcrack.net/archives/2009/04/convert-a-bot_shockwave_that_is_not_shockwave Convert-A-Bots N-4-SR, variant 1]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the other pale green, also with purple highlights.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;n4sr2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1NVirID3fc Convert-A-Bots N-4-SR, variant 2]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Starbrigade.jpg|125px|thumb|Product and colors (and franchise) may vary.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*  Shockwave bears the rather strange distinction of receiving a number of particularly high quality [[knockoff]]s, all of which known retain the electronics and some even having odd {{w|Flash Gordon}}-esque [[retool]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
*  One of the earliest pictured versions of Action Master Shockwave features some awkward proportions and Fistfight with reversed colors. Another oddity of this version is that Shockwave&#039;s right hand is sculpted in an open position.&lt;br /&gt;
* A silhouette of Action Master Shockwave&#039;s card art appears on the back of the [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] [[Star Brigade]] action figure cardbacks... as [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]]!&lt;br /&gt;

{{disambig3|Mudflap}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Mudflap is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ROTF_Mudflap_promo.jpg|thumb|350px|Despite appearances, his chest is not someone&#039;s face.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The goofy-looking &#039;&#039;&#039;Mudflap&#039;&#039;&#039; and his [[The Twins|twin]] [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] are a result of a split spark, and share a close bond accordingly. Mudflap is hyperactive, noisy, argumentative, and eager... not that different from his brother. He&#039;s so desperate to impress that he comes off as having the robot equivalent of ADHD. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|The Movie Universe]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When they&#039;re not trying to outdo each other in crazy, daredevil antics, the twins are usually bickering with each other over anything. Like Skids, he possesses hyper-reactive optical imaging scanners, making him able to process tactical information faster than any other Transformer (except Skids).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Skids Profile, Transformers #1 (Titan, Vol.2)]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; As irritated as Mudflap gets from Skids&#039; vocal one-upmanship, he realizes that they actually work best as a team.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Mudflap Battle Bio]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each twin can transform into smaller, separate vehicles or combine into a single, more durable alternate mode, &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Skids Profile, Transformers #1 (Titan, Vol.2)]]—greatly expanded from his &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|The Movie Universe]]&#039;&#039; bio&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; but whether they can combine similarly into a larger robot mode remains to be seen. Upon first arriving on [[Earth]], Mudflap and his brother took the form of a beat-up old ice cream truck, but he later [[Scanning|scanned]] a Chevy Trax for a disguise, and, sometime after that, a Chevrolet Spark. That being said, it&#039;s unlikely the twins will keep an alt-mode for long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

After hearing Optimus Prime&#039;s call into space for all Autobots, Skids and Mudflap were captured by the Decepticons [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] and [[Flatline]] just before reaching Earth. Seeking to perfect some new medical experiments, Flatline tried to forcibly reprogram the brothers&#039; processors, but only succeeded in leaving them addled and confused. Another of Flatline&#039;s experiments, the tri-fold biker named [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], helped Skids and Mudflap escape. They picked up a ship and made their trek the rest of the way to Earth. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Alliance04 icecreamtruck.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Mudflap is the one in back.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Skids and Mudflap followed Optimus Prime&#039;s message to [[Earth]] and arrived on the planet with [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]], [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]], [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. The ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]], {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}{{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3}} The Twins both chose the [[combiner|combined]] form of an old, beat-up ice cream truck. The newly arrived Autobots joined the human-Transformer military alliance [[NEST]] and began training in earnest at [[Diego Garcia]], but soon had to be deployed to [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Mudflap first met [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] when they were about to be thrown into a [[smelting pool]]. It was fun! {{Storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mudflap and Skids happily stayed on Cybertron, going through intensive training (which &#039;&#039;totally&#039;&#039; wasn&#039;t goofing off) and having extreme-sports contests. Neither wanted to leave their homeworld, and they were the only Transformers on it until [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] turned up with [[Purple generic drones|a Decepticon army]]. When they heard him mention a [[Star Harvester]], Mudflap said they should tell someone...but was a bit upset to find out the fastest way to do that would be to leave Cybertron and tell the Autobots in person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decision was made for them when the Decepticons attacked. Mudflap took some hits, causing Skids to obliterate the Decepticons responsible, but for the most part, their training paid off. However, he realised they were running out of places to run, so he followed his brother in leaving the plane, with only one course of action remaining: follow the message [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] had beamed into space and head for [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Training Day}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The twins made it to Earth soon, crash-landing in Toronto, Canada. On the way in, Mudflap hit a [[Wikipedia: CN Tower|big tower]], and was a bit guilty since he knew how these primitive luddite humans still needed radio waves (the saps). They swam their way to Ball&#039;s Falls, where they picked up Earth alternate modes and, Mudflap taking charge, set out to try and find local Autobots and warn them about the Star Harvester. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Driving along the wrong side of the Interstate, the twins were attacked by the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], who pursued them across open countryside, trying to kill them on Starscream&#039;s orders. Mudflap transformed and blinded the old Decepticon with a fistful of dirt, which bought the twins some time to find cover. However, the airborne enemy kept up with the twins, and Mudflap lost a chance at cover when he ran back to save his brother. Luckily they were saved by Bumblebee, who attacked and forced Ransack to retreat. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Titan2-3_Mudflap_face.jpg|right|thumb|Sorry, [[Jon Davis-Hunt|Jon]], at some point you have to draw their ugly mugs.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now living at [[NEST]]&#039;s Californian base with Bumblebee as their minder, Skids and Mudflap repeatedly asked to deliver their info to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]—and only Optimus, much to [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide&#039;s]] annoyance. He was more annoyed when they ambushed him to get to Optimus...who, as it turns out, was away on a need-to-know mission anyway. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this defeat, and with Ironhide having bluntly told them nobody believed them, they desperately asked to join in a NEST op in [[Las Vegas]]...getting turned down, because they were too crap to get involved. Mudflap almost called their superior a very rude word over this, and after the team had left, he decided they should go to Vegas &#039;&#039;anyway&#039;&#039; to show Ironhide just what they could do! What they could do, it turned out, was screw up a successful mission by freeing [[Grindor (ROTF)|a captured Decepticon]] by trying to &amp;quot;shoot him down&amp;quot;. Mudflap was left mortified. Ironhide, recognising what they were trying to do, told him that maybe they could work on training the twins not to jump in without looking, and that the trick was to learn from mistakes. The twins claimed they&#039;d try. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They soon wished they hadn&#039;t, as they were condemned to NEST&#039;s [[United Kingdom|Orkney Islands]] base for days of sim-com (simulated combat) training under [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. Mudflap agreed with Skids&#039; theory that this was an excuse to keep them away from Optimus, and the whole situation got on his nerves. They both protested to Sideswipe that they could handle Decepticons. Him pointing out their failure with Grindor shut them up. However, the training was interrupted when [[Ravage (ROTF)|a huge metal cat monster]] broke into the base, KOed Sideswipe, and tried to eat the twins! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Titan4_Mudflapravage.jpg|left|thumb|250px| Nice kitty...nice kitty...]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They transformed and fled, with all attempts at holding it off failing. Mudflap hit on a plan of trapping the creature in the sim-com room and letting the drones shoot it down. He pulled this off, using himself as bait; in the process, he received a communication from [[Soundwave (ROTF)|the monster&#039;s master]], who demanded to know what the twins knew about some lost and fallen guy. Mudflap briefly wondered who this dude was, then shrugged and just sprang the trap on Ravage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that done, the twins tried to fill in the revived Sideswipe... except the creature had gone, leaving their instructor with the view that &#039;&#039;they&#039;d&#039;&#039; knocked him out in revenge for their training. Between that and Grindor, he thought they were up to something... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Titan2-5_twinsHEstartedit.jpg|right|thumb|Even the &#039;&#039;characters&#039;&#039; [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Notes|shift the blame]] over who came up with their dialogue!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The twins were later taken to Diego Garcia, and ecstatic to learn Optimus was coming there! Okay, he&#039;s only dropping a prisoner off, he&#039;s not here to see them and knows nothing about their story, but they ignored all that and drove off when Sideswipe wasn&#039;t looking so they could greet the leader. Mudflap squeed over how Optimus would be so proud with &#039;&#039;his&#039;&#039; work! Skids picked up on that and accused his brother of trying to steal the glory, and soon the two of them were having a big fight and slagging match...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so their first meeting with Optimus Prime was to be yelled at for conduct unbecoming of an Autobot warrior. (See the pic to the side to find out how &#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039; went.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] made his attack, blasting at the distracted Prime and moving to free the prisoner [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Mudflap swiftly grabbed a weapon to stop this escape, but Sideways snatched it from his hands and used it himself to cover his retreat. Sideswipe, watching from a distance, believed Mudflap had &#039;&#039;given&#039;&#039; over the weapon, and convinced Prime that the twins were traitors: they must have helped Scorponok get here and now assisted him in his mission, on top of freeing Grindor and attacking him! Mudflap and Skids protested they were being set up because they knew too much, but it fell on deaf ears as they were taken into custody... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Titan2-6_aimedatyourheart.jpg|left|thumb|Heart, head, near enough...]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following this, the decision was made to exile the twins into orbit. Mudflap and his brother moaned that they should&#039;ve just ignored the Fallen, but help was at hand... from the Decepticons? Mudflap angrily told [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Decepticon agent Wheelie]] that they didn&#039;t &#039;&#039;want&#039;&#039; to be freed by &#039;&#039;him&#039;&#039;, but the complaint fell on deaf ears: now the twins looked like even &#039;&#039;bigger&#039;&#039; traitors. The two went underground to clear their names, and hit on the foolproof plan of abducting [[Sam Witwicky]] from his house and pleading with him to tell their story to Optimus. All this did was cause Bumblebee to launch an attack to rescue Sam. Mudflap pleaded with the angry Bumblebee that they weren&#039;t traitors, that they had vital info...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...and then [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] gunned down the scout and offered the twins sanctuary in the Decepticons. Nowhere else to go, Mudflap took Soundwave&#039;s hand and said he&#039;d never liked Earth anyway... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Titan_deceptitwins.jpg|thumb|right|250px|&amp;quot;No offence, Sideways, but you&#039;re a boring, stupid, unimportant waste of metal and your mum hates you.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once in the Decepticons, he had fun dissing all the other members as being losers and getting on &#039;&#039;everyone&#039;s&#039;&#039; nerve, before Soundwave finally sent them on a mission to bring in a rogue member. Once on Earth again, he was genuinely surprised to find out Skids was only &#039;&#039;pretending&#039;&#039; to defect; his annoyed brother explained the plan was that, since Soundwave would send a minder to watch them, they could ambush their minder and have a prisoner to give to the Autobots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rogue member turned out to be Ransack, and Mudflap helped Skids lie to him that the Fallen had sent them. Talking instead of fighting? That annoyed &#039;&#039;both&#039;&#039; of their minders, and they came under attack by Grindor and Sideways! Mudflap was ordered after Sideways, and engaged him in a game of chicken; the Decepticon blinked first and crashed into a tree. He thought this was enough, but Skids was determined that they&#039;d now take the fight to Soundwave himself! (Mudflap&#039;s considered response was &amp;quot;YOWZA!&amp;quot;) {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Titan2-8_twinsanywaytowelcome.jpg|left|thumb|350px|]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon returning to the Phobos base, Mudflap was consulted about having a plan of attack. He decided why bother having plans &#039;&#039;now&#039;&#039;, just attack! The twins stormed the base, and Mudflap was able to defeat Ravage by ducking the beast&#039;s attacks and planting an electrical bomb on him. However, this success was quickly undone and Mudflap found himself about to be killed by Starscream... but the battle gave Ransack an opening to shoot the Seeker in the back and escape, causing the other Decepticons to chase after him! The twins had &#039;&#039;no&#039;&#039; idea what &#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039; was all about... but this was just a short respite, as the twins discovered just what that army massing on Cybertron had been planning: to arrive at the Phobos base en route to Earth...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The twins stood ready to make their last stand, and Mudflap prepared to take down as many drones as possible... when Optimus arrived with the other Autobots! The twins had been tracked to Phobos and to their shock, the other Autobots had realised they weren&#039;t traitors and were even apologising! And with all the street cred of uncovering the Phobos base, the twins were welcomed to the Autobots&#039; Earth division. Skids briefly wondered if they should mention &amp;quot;the &#039;&#039;Fa-&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; again, but Mudflap told him they were &#039;&#039;never&#039;&#039; mentioning &#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039; bloody thing again. Whatever happened, [[#Revenge of the Fallen movie|would happen]]... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Voice actor:&#039;&#039; [[Reno Wilson]] (English), [[Gerald Schaale]] (German), [[Yōhei Tadano]] (Japanese), [[Davide Lepore]] (Italian), [[Moisés Ivan Mora]] (Latin American-Spanish)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ROTF-icecreamtruck.jpg|thumb|right|250px|ICE CREAM!... ICE CREAM!... I&#039;m all out of ICE CREAM!...]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The twins were first into action for NEST&#039;s mission to Shanghai, slowly trundling through the city streets in their ice-cream truck mode and taunting Decepticons in the area to show themselves. Two Decepticons soon did: [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. At NEST&#039;s orders, the twins went after the smaller foe and, working with Arcee, managed to herd him into an alleyway. However, their slow, ungainly choice of alternate mode left them unable to keep up with Sideways. While Arcee leapt through a building to pursue the Decepticon, the twins tried to go around the building to catch him. However, the twins inadvertently split apart from one another when they rounded the corner too sharply, thus taking them out of the chase. Mudflap took the blame for the crash, but Skids still berated (and smacked) Mudflap for his failure.&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ROTF Twins truck robot modes.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Ben and Jerry?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Upon arrival to Diego Garcia and NEST headquarters, the twins were given new, individual alternate forms to make sure another incident like that never happened. Mudflap wanted the Chevy Beat as a vehicle form, but after a brief wrestling match with his brother, he was relegated to the form of the [[wikipedia: Chevy Trax|Chevrolet Trax]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, the twins, along with the other NEST-allied Autobots, were dispatched to look for [[Sam Witwicky]] when Decepticons were detected heading towards his college. After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was killed by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the twins helped the Autobot force fight off the Decepticon leader and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], allowing Sam, [[Leo Spitz]], [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to make good their escape. Skids and Mudflap met up with Bumblebee and the humans, and together they fled to a remote location. After the twins teased Leo for a while for his panic attack, Sam inquired whether one of them could interpret the Cybertronic symbols with which he had become obsessed. The twins claimed that they couldn&#039;t read the ancient Language of the Primes and weren&#039;t much into reading, anyway. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ROTF_movie_SkidsMudflap_bigmother.jpg|thumb|right|250px|And this is us when we traveled to...hey, Skids, where did we go again?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the help of the Decepticon [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], the group made their way to the Smithsonian, where the humans reactivated the venerable ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]]. He teleported them all to [[Egypt]] before telling them the tale of the original [[Dynasty of Primes|Primes]], the [[Star Harvester]], which had the potential to destroy all life on Earth, and finally, the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the key to activating the harvester and possibly the only thing that could bring Optimus Prime back to life. When the Matrix could not be found at the ruins of [[Petra]], Mudflap questioned why they where helping Sam, wondering what they had done for the Autobots. Skids pointed out that Sam &#039;&#039;had&#039;&#039; killed Megatron, but Mudflap said the point was moot since Megatron was now back. After calling each other &amp;quot;scared&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;ugly&amp;quot; the two began to fight with one another. After damaging the structure and nearly crushing the humans, Bumblebee picked the twins up, bashed them together, and threw them out the door. However, their bickering created a hole in the wall where the [[Tomb of the Primes]] lay, and with it, the Matrix.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ROTF Devastator Mudflap swallow.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Simon Furman]] would have had a [[Furmanism|field day]] with this scene.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Making their way back to the Pyramids where NEST waited with Optimus Prime&#039;s body, the group came under attack by Starscream. Mudflap, Skids, Leo and Simmons acted as a decoy to lure the Decepticons away from Sam and Mikaela. Unfortunately, they attracted the attention of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], who [[combiner|combined]] into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] and attacked by vacuuming up loose objects such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. Hanging on for dear life inside the monster&#039;s mouth, he tried to use his &amp;quot;[[Wikipedia:Kung-Fu grip|kung-fu grip]]&amp;quot;, but was sucked further inside, losing his shoulder guards in the process. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ROTF Mudflap vs Devastator.jpg|thumb|right|250px|&amp;quot;Wait Devastator! You have a bug on your face, let me shoot it for you!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
As Skids mourned the loss of his twin, Simmons realized that the safest place to be was directly under the giant. But he had survived being vacuumed up by Devastator, and to escape he had blasted a hole through its head. To buy the humans time to escape, Skids clambered up Devastator&#039;s [[Hightower (ROTF)|right forepaw]] to assist Mudflap. Skids threw a cable to Mudflap, who grabbed it and swung off Devastator&#039;s head onto his arm. However, once they had landed, Mudflap accidentally shot Skids in the face, knocking them off. At [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]&#039;s command, Devastator continued onto the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]]. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}&lt;br /&gt;

===Toy bios===&lt;br /&gt;
Young and eager, Mudflap idolizes Optimus Prime and the other great Autobot heroes. He and Skids went to Earth solely in the hope of joining up with their idols, and it&#039;s a dream come true for them! {{storylink|#Deluxe Class Toys|Deluxe Mudflap}} In an early mission, however, they found themselves used as guinea pigs for experimental combination technology; trying to &#039;&#039;stay&#039;&#039; combined in their gestalt vehicle mode took up more of their focus than fighting Decepticons! {{storylink|#Deluxe Class Toys|Autobot Skids and Mudflap}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, he must have impressed the Autobots as later, he was assigned to help Sideswipe take down an empowered [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]]! {{storylink|The Fury of Fearswoop}} Normally, his role is to create diversions. {{storylink|Skids (ROTF)#Robot Replicas|Robot Replica Skids}}&lt;br /&gt;

Skids and Mudflap were in [[Seattle]] with NEST tracking the Decepticon straggler, [[Alice]]. They helped guide her stolen RV right into Sideswipe&#039;s sights, and he then impaled the &amp;quot;girl&amp;quot; in her seat. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, when [[Theodore Galloway]] and his unit were attacked by [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] en route to investigate the mysterious activities of the enigmatic [[Initiative]] at [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots dispatched Skids and Mudflap to Galloway&#039;s aid. Together, they held Ransack off until a NEST strike team could arrive and finish him off. The Twins then accompanied Galloway and the soldiers to Hoover Dam, and while the Initiative forces had already cleared out, Skids and Mudflap realized what they had been after: residual energy from the [[AllSpark]] that had been kept there. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}} To uncover the Initiative&#039;s secret goals, the Autobots soon allied themselves with [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], and followed his lead to the Initiative&#039;s base of operations in [[Crater Lake]], [[Oregon]]. Skids and Mudflap were deployed to attack the base from the east; when they were met with resistance in the form of the Initiative&#039;s troops, they took them out of the equation by disabling the advanced weaponry they were wielding with precision blasts. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} He and Skids then worked as back-up for Bumblebee&#039;s team of cadets in the final battle at Crater Lake. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, The Twins joined Arcee and her sisters and the human forces of NEST in tackling them, the Decepticons we´re killed and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] taken as a prisoner. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}} after [[Sam Witwicky]] contacted NEST as [[Philadelphia]] was beign attacked by Decepticons, the Twins joined Prime and the Others. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} the Twins along the others arrived to Philadelphia. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}} Skids and Mudflap survived the battle and witness when the [[Driller]] took [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] away. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}&lt;br /&gt;

Skids was next to die, intercepting a shot meant for Bumblebee, sending Mudflap into a rage. He lunged at the turncoat Autobot, seeking revenge for his brother&#039;s death, but even his righteous anger could not make him a match for Sentinel, and he too met his ends moments later. Sentinel eulogized him with some degree of respect, remarking that he at least died a death worthy of an Autobot. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the third wave of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class figures, Mudflap transforms into a rust-orange Chevy Trax. He transforms similarly to (but not exactly like) the Deluxe toy of his twin brother, Skids. He also has similar gimmickry; for example, his [[Mech Alive]] gimmick is also activated by pushing in the grill on his chest. This causes some panels in his chest to sway and his head to, uh, headbang. Additional Mech Alive action is engineered into his larger left arm. When his fist folds in towards his wrist, panels on the outside of his forearm spread and reveal a raising, spring-loaded missile launcher. In vehicle mode, this missile is stored through a cross-shaped hole on the rear bumper. On a sadder note, the clip which holds his chest to his back has a lot of trouble actually connecting, so you&#039;re going to be stuck with just carefully posing him so that he doesn&#039;t come undone. In addition, the wheels can be locked behind his extended kneepads, which shortens and squattens his legs to create a more screen-accurate model.&lt;br /&gt;

:Mudflap initially came with a license plate that referenced his car model, &amp;quot;Trax.&amp;quot; A [[variant|running change variant]] later enlarged the license plate and changed it to &amp;quot;Mudflap&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;deluxevar&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-mudflap-variant-168024/ Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Mudflap variant] at TFW2005&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Japanese release only featured the later &amp;quot;Mudflap&amp;quot; version, skipping the earlier &amp;quot;Trax&amp;quot; version entirely. Both plates were apparently used for the movie (see notes below).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This two-pack of the twin Autobot brothers can combine into a single, old-fashioned ice cream truck. The vehicle splits in half right down the middle of its chassis (similar to how it does in the film) to create the two small robot forms. Other than the transformation, the toy features no [[gimmick]]s. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Mudflap&#039;s heels are too thick for his feet to fold up properly in vehicle mode, though this can be fixed by trimming them. Mudflap also has a springloaded neck socket...but the reason for it is not all that clear.(the instructions do document it, but the head is not even locked in packed on the card) Also, this toy may be the first Transformer to feature the typeface Comic Sans, which is used to write &amp;quot;MADE FRESH FOR YOU&amp;quot; across both front wheel hubs. But that&#039;s on Skids&#039;s half, so Mudflap is partly absolved here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Amusingly, the ice cream truck accommodates [[Human Alliance]] human figures &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Both Skids and Mudflap have sculpted rust detailing all over the Ice cream tuck, but for some reason, they are not painted.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Mudflap / [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] / [[Seymour Simmons]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (Human Alliance, 2010)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;RA-31&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: A larger-scale figure, [[Human Alliance]] Mudflap has a very similar transformation to his twin, which is understandable on a canonical level, since they&#039;re from the same spark. As usual, Simmons (or any other Human alliance driver figure) can be seated in Mudflap in his vehicle mode, with Mudflap&#039;s (still usable) seats ending up on his wrists/arms in robot mode. Simmons can also stand on Mudflap&#039;s palms in this mode. Mudflap comes with a transforming figure of [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] as well, which Simmons can ride in her motorbike mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He shares two features with his twin, having a pop-up mini-gun behind his head which a back-mounted Simmons can man, and having a similar action feature for his head: pressing down on an orange piece on his head opens and closes his mouth, simulating a talking motion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also has two unique features: the right seat has a twin-barreled gun molded into the base, and the left seat has a pop-up control panel for Simmons to operate, presumably to control the small [[Retractable string gimmick|grappling hook set]] above Mudflap&#039;s left hand, which a small winch can reel out and pull in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Unlike most transforming Mudflap figures, he is a more screen accurate shade of orange red, rather than just a rusty color. Also unlike the other Mudflap figures is the fact that this figure was stocked in much lower numbers, meaning he didn&#039;t end up [[Shelfwarmer|shelfwarming]] like the others and &#039;&#039;ironically&#039;&#039; ended up being quite rare.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Grapple Grip Mudflap&#039;&#039;&#039; (Fast Action Battler, 2009)&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Fast Action Battlers]]&#039;&#039; Mudflap has a simplified transformation for younger buyers. His left hand&#039;s middle finger can be extended (yes, ha ha) on a rope to function as a grappling hook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The toy&#039;s name, &amp;quot;Grapple Grip Mudflap&amp;quot;, is misspelled as &amp;quot;Grapp&#039;&#039;&#039;el&#039;&#039;&#039; Grip Mudflap&amp;quot; in various official instances, such as Hasbro&#039;s public website&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;fabhasbro&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/shop/details.cfm?guid=B237456C-7A23-1014-B596-FBA5EE4D560D&amp;amp;product_id=24286&amp;amp;src=endeca Hasbro website entry for FAB &amp;quot;Grappel Grip&amp;quot; Mudflap]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[:Image:GrappelGripMudflapEuro.jpg‎|and on]] the toy&#039;s [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]]. Presumably this typo didn&#039;t get caught by [[quality control]] until very late, so the North American packaging saw the error rectified in time, whereas the entire European production run had already been underway. Then again, [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;]] &amp;quot;[[Grapple|Solar Storm Grapp&#039;&#039;el&#039;&#039;]]&amp;quot; raises the question &#039;&#039;which&#039;&#039; version is officially to be considered the &amp;quot;incorrect&amp;quot; one, and whether the &amp;quot;Grappel&amp;quot; (mis)spelling is in fact intentionally used for [[trademark]] reasons...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: As a [[Gravity Bot]], Mudflap is a very boxy toy featuring no [[articulation]] whatsoever, relying solely on an [[autotransformation]] gimmick.

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the third wave of &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; [[MechTech]] Deluxe-Class toys, Mudflap transforms from a black Chevrolet Spark with wide orange stripes into a stumpy robot with big feet. He is a smaller and less articulated, but more stable and &amp;lt;strike&amp;gt;movie-accurate&amp;lt;/strike&amp;gt; comic-accurate figure, and comes with a Blaster that transforms into a Cybertronian Battle Axe when the scope is pulled. He features six MechTech ports in total, with two ports on the roof in vehicle mode, one for each of his hands, and one underneath each of his arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Unfortunately, Mudflap suffers from a [[design flaw]]: The connection holding his shoulders and upper arms together is very tight, and trying to swing his upper arms out to the side will occasionally result in the arms popping out of their plastic swivels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
* The ice cream truck is apparently based on a heavily customized 1930s Chevrolet truck.{{fact|confirmation needed}} [[Ben Procter]] apparently lifted the color scheme and deco for his early concept design for the ice cream truck&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;procterrotf&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://conceptartworld.com/?p=2772 Ben Procter&#039;s ROTF concept art at Concept Art World.]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;directly&#039;&#039; off a photo of an [[Australia]]n ice cream truck that had been added to the Wikipedia article for &amp;quot;ice cream van&amp;quot; in February 2006&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;wikipediaice&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ice_Cream_Truck_Sydney_Australia_-_crop.png Photo of an [[Australia]]n ice cream truck at Wikipedia, added in February 2006.]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, down to identical placement and design of the fonts and graphics. The details were later slightly tweaked for the final design that can be seen in the movie... but only very slightly so.&lt;br /&gt;
*One of the decals on the ice cream truck&#039;s side that was created specifically for the movie reads &amp;quot;[[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] suck my popsicle.&amp;quot; Classy. Too bad the toy &#039;&#039;does not have&#039;&#039; this decal. (Because, you know, for kids...)&lt;br /&gt;
**A &amp;quot;censored&amp;quot; version of the movie is rumored to exist with the aforementioned text edited out, with the somewhat nonsensical result of &amp;quot;[[Image:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] &amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;popsicle&amp;quot;. This version was supposedly shown in some theaters even though other theaters in the same market apparently got the uncensored version. The more likely explanation for this would be that different theaters simply used different lightings settings, which effectively rendered the words &amp;quot;suck my&amp;quot; (which were written in dark red on a black backdrop to begin with) invisible, with no actual intention of &amp;quot;censorship&amp;quot; behind it.&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:ROTFSmartCarTwinConcept.jpg|thumb|250px|Yeah, that&#039;s not phallic at all.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*The Twins&#039; final alternate modes in the film, the Chevrolet Beat (Skids) and Chevrolet Trax (Mudflap), were designed by General Motors as small car concept vehicles. At one point in the film&#039;s pre-production, another small car, the [[wikipedia:Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes-Benz]] [[wikipedia:Smart (automobile)|Smart]], was evidently considered as an option for a film character; concept art of a &amp;quot;third twin&amp;quot; based on it appears in various sections of the &#039;&#039;Revenge&#039;&#039; DVD special features, always in close proximity to concept art of Skids and Mudflap. Whether it was meant to be a third character related to Skids and Mudflap or if it was supposed to be used in place of one of them is unknown. What &#039;&#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039;&#039; known is that [[Hasbro]] has had great difficultly in the past trying to get likeness licenses from German automakers, which is probably why the vehicle/character was dropped.&lt;br /&gt;
*Oddly enough, even though Mudflap&#039;s Chevy Trax [[alternate mode]] features big blue &amp;quot;eyes&amp;quot; on his chest and the truck seems to have a similar &amp;quot;face&amp;quot; on its grill that does not appear on his brother (and fellow [[combiner]]) Skids&#039;s Chevy Beat form, he makes up the &#039;&#039;back&#039;&#039; of the ice cream truck. He does, however, still have &amp;quot;eyes&amp;quot; on his chest in his ice cream truck form which are created from the rear taillights of the vehicle. This is evidenced in one scene from the movie where they are lit up the color of red.&lt;br /&gt;
*In their combined ice cream truck mode, the Twins sport the [[license plate]] &amp;quot;KDM 814&amp;quot;. A minor variant of this, &amp;quot;KDM 0814&amp;quot; with an extra &amp;quot;0&amp;quot;, was later used for the life-sized Bumblebee prop on various displays from 2009 upuntil at least 2011. For the individual cars, two different sets of license plates were apparently used, either &amp;quot;Trax&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Beat&amp;quot; referencing their car models or &amp;quot;Mudflap&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Skids&amp;quot;, with the latter two being featured more prominently in the movie (the &amp;quot;BEAT&amp;quot; plate can be seen briefly during the New York City scene, and it&#039;s &#039;&#039;possible&#039;&#039; the &amp;quot;TRAX&amp;quot; plate was used for the same scene, although the car&#039;s plate is offscreen during that scene). All four plates were auctioned off in October 2009.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;licenseauct&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.icollector.com/Autobots-Skids-and-Mudfap-s-license-plates-from-Transformers-Revenge-of-the-Fallen_i8633012 Mudflap and Skids license plates for auction] at icollector.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The auction claims that the plates referring to their car models were used in vehicle mode, while those identifying the two Autobots by name were used in robot mode... which is &#039;&#039;directly&#039;&#039; refuted by screencaps from the movie included with the auction, which show the robot name plates on the cars in vehicle mode. Also, the two &#039;&#039;real&#039;&#039; Chevrolet Trax and Beat cars the Twins scan already feature individualized license plates sporting their robot names. Huh.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Twins have been accused of being derogatory racial stereotypes. Writers [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] claim to have followed [[Michael Bay]]&#039;s lead with the characters, while Bay says voice actors [[Tom Kenny]] (Skids) and [[Reno Wilson]] (Mudflap) came up with their schtick on their own. Reportedly, Wilson (who is African-American himself) was sad to learn his way of speaking was apparently offensive to himself.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jive&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/24/transformers-jivetalking-_n_220005.html The Huffington Post&#039;s coverage of the furore over the Twins]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Orci and Kurtzman said the twins&#039; portrayal was not in their script, that they were disappointed in the characters and admitted that they could understand if others were offended by the characters.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/orci-and-kurtzman-respond-to-claims-of-racism-in-transformers-2.php Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman respond to claims of racism on &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039;, Film School Rejects, June 24, 2009]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*The twins are less slangy in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]] and [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Titan comics]], which could either indicate it was a last-minute voice actor decision or [[Simon Furman]] just didn&#039;t want to try writing ebonics. &lt;br /&gt;
*Mudflap fights his way out of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]&#039;s head by punching and shooting his way through his eye and cheek and then continues to punch and shoot him, doing quite a bit of damage to the giant—and still some say the Twins don&#039;t do anything to justify their part in the film.&lt;br /&gt;
*In [[Tales of the Fallen issue 6|&#039;&#039;Tales of the Fallen&#039;&#039; #6]], it&#039;s revealed that the Twins&#039; processors were messed up by the medic Flatline. So perhaps they were NORMAL at some point? Wow. &lt;br /&gt;

*Amusingly, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro&#039;s Battle Bio] for Mudflap lists his arch-enemy as... [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]]. The Twins&#039; RPMs two-pack is also called &amp;quot;Skids vs Mudflap&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Despite promotional pictures and most of the merchandise made for Mudflap, in the film he is actually closer to red than orange. The RPM and Human Alliance figures are close to the actual character&#039;s colors in the film.&lt;br /&gt;
*Much like [[Mudflap (Cybertron)|the previous]] [[Mudflap (Movie)|two Mudflaps]], toys of this character tend to be [[shelfwarmer]]s. Maybe the &#039;&#039;name&#039;&#039; is cursed.&lt;br /&gt;

{{disambig3|Hot Rod}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Hot Rod is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. He has also been known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Rodimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Rodimus&#039;&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;&#039;Rodimus Major&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DVDbox3d1.jpg|right|301px|thumb|And yet he still gets carded.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Hot Rod&#039;&#039;&#039; is brash and headstrong, with an overwhelming self-confidence that borders on arrogance.  [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] has assumed the role of mentor and advisor to the impetuous young Hot Rod, offering him wisdom and advice when he needs it (though Hot Rod rarely feels that he does, much to Kup&#039;s annoyance). [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] also serves as a calming influence on Hot Rod, and tends to either worry about him when he is not around, or deride and tease him when he is. Their relationship is antagonistic, but friendly. Exactly how deep Hot Rod&#039;s feelings for Arcee might run is unknown, whether they be friendly, [[Transformer romance|romantic]], or otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In contrast, his &#039;&#039;&#039;Rodimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; persona—while still headstrong and stubborn—seems to suffer from a severe lack of confidence, often doubting his own decisions and expressing distress over his position as an [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]]. Of course, much of this comes from having immediately succeeded [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] as commander—and let&#039;s face it, shoes-to-be-filled just don&#039;t &#039;&#039;get&#039;&#039; much bigger than that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One thing that both sides of this Autobot&#039;s identity have in common is their impatience—neither Hot Rod nor Rodimus Prime can stand to wait around when they could be doing something instead. He is also very self-reliant, rarely sending others to do anything when he could be doing it himself. His [[Targetmaster]] partner is [[Firebolt]]. As Rodimus Prime, his vehicle sometimes splits between his robot and [[Mobile Defense Bay]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the year 2001, Hot Rod was on guard duty at the construction site of [[Autobot City]] on [[Earth]] while the main Autobot forces were evacuating from the Decepticon-conquered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. As he was complained about his boring assignment to [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], the Decepticon [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] struck, intent on stealing the [[Matrix of Leadership|Autobot Matrix of Leadership]] which Optimus Prime had secreted in a bunker at the building site. When he reclaimed the Matrix, Hot Rod received a vision of the future where he fought [[Galvatron (G1)|a powerful Decepticon]]. After returning the Matrix to Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader considered that perhaps Hot Rod&#039;s destiny was greater than any of them realized. Kup thought differently, however.  {{storylink|The Transformers (Madman)|The Transformers}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:HotRodFishing1.jpg|right|200px|thumb|&amp;quot;I&#039;m tellin&#039; you, Daniel, you HAD to kiss me to activate my fishing rod. STOP crying!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005, Hot Rod was one of the many Autobots based in the completed Autobot City. He was close friends with the young human [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] and seemed to have a reputation for being something of a troublemaker, judging from a few of Kup&#039;s comments to him at the time. Realizing that the Decepticons were invading, Hot Rod opened fire on their stolen shuttle and exposed their ruse before Megatron could enter the city. Although this did give the rest of the Autobots time to begin transforming Autobot City and raising their defenses, it also left Hot Rod trapped outside with Kup and Daniel. After defeating the Decepticons [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] and [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] with some help from Kup, Hot Rod managed to find a way inside the fortress city and took part in its defense. During [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime&#039;s]] battle with [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], Hot Rod intervened in an attempt to help, but succeeded only in giving Megatron the chance he needed to wound the Autobot leader mortally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Prime&#039;s death, Autobot City was attacked again—by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. While escaping, Hot Rod and Kup (and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]) were separated from the rest of the Autobots and crashed on the planet [[Quintessa]]. There, Hot Rod met the Quintessons, an enemy who would haunt him for some time to come. After escaping their sadistic trial and attempted execution (as well as meeting [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]), Hot Rod went on to the planet [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]], where he was just in time to stop [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] from destroying the rest of the Autobot City refugees with a timely use of the [[Universal greeting]]. Together, they all traveled to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to stop [[Unicron]] before he could eat more than just its moons. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RodimusPrimeMovie1.jpg|left|200px|thumb|&amp;quot;Stop putting in captions that are just blatantly not funny!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Inside of Unicron, Hot Rod was separated from the rest of his team when their ship crashed (something which happens to Hot Rod a lot). Alone, he found himself facing Galvatron in a battle to the death over the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Claiming the Matrix, Hot Rod [[Renaming|evolved into]] &amp;quot;Rodimus Prime&amp;quot;, an older, larger, and more powerful version of himself. After overpowering Galvatron and hurling him through Unicron&#039;s hide into the void of space, he opened the Matrix and destroyed Unicron from within. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peace reigned on Cybertron for at least long enough to put up some of the more important buildings, and Rodimus Prime began to ease into his role as the new Autobot leader. He even opened the first [[Galactic Olympics]], although the event was disrupted by mysterious assailants who kidnapped [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Kup and Spike Witwicky. In an attempt to discover if the Decepticons were responsible, Rodimus took [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] to spy on them, but the pair were discovered and attacked. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} The two Autobots were rescued by Arcee and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], but Rodimus had been injured in the attack, and his spirit entered the Matrix. The experience revealed to him that the Quintessons were behind the kidnapping. With this knowledge, the Autobots rescued their fellows from Quintessa, just as the Quintessons destroyed the planet. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:FFOD3 Rodimus in light.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Using the matrix gives you wrinkles.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots were flung through space, eventually crashing down on the planet [[Goo]].  After Springer&#039;s dismemberment at the hands of a giant machine, Rodimus faced the machine alone, clogging its intakes and causing it to crash.  Their troubles weren&#039;t over, as the Quintesson-led Decepticon army soon showed up to renew hostilities. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}}  Rescued by the Junkions, the Autobots were taken to Junk, where Rodimus short-circuited himself in order to consult the Matrix once again.  The knowledge of [[Transformer]] history and their creation at the hands of the Quintessons was revealed to him, leading him to realise that Cybertron was in deadly danger. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Cybertron, Rodimus lead the defence of the planet against Galvatron&#039;s strike force.  It wasn&#039;t until [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]&#039;s warning that the true nature of the threat was revealed: a [[large switch|switch]] deep under the planet&#039;s surface which controlled the life force of every Transformer in existence.  Although Rodimus headed off the contingent of Sharkticons who aimed to pull the switch, Galvatron himself pulled it, disabling all of the Transformers.  Fortunately, Spike was on hand to turn them all back on again.  After Galvatron was sent into retreat, Rodimus gave a speech to the Autobots about how they had won...for now. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RodimusMatrix.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Here&#039;s the Matrix, Optimus. I mean, it&#039;s not like this is a trap or anything!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout 2006, Rodimus Prime&#039;s greatest achievements revolved around his predecessor, Optimus Prime. While fleeing from a Decepticon attack, Rodimus and several other Autobots took refuge in a massive [[Autobot Mausoleum]] and discovered that their former leader seemed to have returned to life. Perhaps a little too trusting of Optimus (and possibly eager to relieve himself of the burden of leadership), Rodimus quickly passed the Matrix back to Optimus and, much to his glee, reverted back into Hot Rod. His happiness was short-lived, however, as Optimus was quickly revealed to be nothing more than a puppet of the Quintessons, sent to trick the Autobots into an ambush from which none of them would escape. With no other choice, Hot Rod was forced to do battle with Optimus Prime for the fate of the Autobots. Although their duel was clearly in the favor of the more powerful Optimus, Hot Rod was able to re-awaken the true spirit of his leader. Returning the Matrix to Rodimus, Optimus then piloted his ship into the heart of the ambush and sacrificed himself to save them all. {{storylink|Dark Awakening}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon after Perceptor left on a standard research mission to a nearby asteroid belt, Rodimus Prime and the Autobots received a distress call from the survey group. They arrived to find the asteroid infested with Quintessons, but managed to drive off the tentacled freaks and their Sharkticon shock troops. Perceptor was near deactivation due to injuries, however, and the rest of the Autobots were nowhere to be seen. The Quints attempted to retake the asteroid but, after failing, were soon desperate enough to tell the truth: Their technology on the rock was a [[Time Window]], and leaving it open was risking the fates of all time and space. With the help of the Quintesson scientist and a [[Alpha Trion (G1)|mysterious stranger with a devilish moustache]], Rodimus Prime retrieved his lost Autobots and shut down the time window. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Fightorflee Rodimus explosion.jpg|right|thumb|250px|He just needs a cigarette.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots learned of a lost Cybertronian colony known as [[Paradron]] after one of its citizens, [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]], arrived on Cybertron begging for help. It seemed that Galvatron and the Decepticons had seized control over the planet and its vast energon reserves. Rodimus Prime and the Autobots staged a tactical infiltration, but the escalation of violence between the two forces led to total devastation. Rodimus gave the pacifistic Autobots of Paradron his impassioned &amp;quot;Move it or lose it!&amp;quot; speech before hustling them off-world so that Ultra Magnus could blow up their home. As Sandstorm sat there mourning the loss of his world, Rodimus Prime gave him some solemn advice.&lt;br /&gt;
{{bigquote|Well, no need to get all mushy. Cybertron&#039;s a better place anyway—not so...perfect.|}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{storylink|Fight or Flee}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus and the Autobots were stumped when someone carried off [[Fort Knox]] in the middle of the night. They detected [[Dinosaur transform static]] at the scene (seriously), found a small pile of [[Energon cube|energon cubes]], and had just been informed by [[Teletraan II]] that Trypticon was still alive. It was a head-scratcher, all right. They eventually figured it out, though, and sieged the occupied nation of [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]] to chase the Decepticons away, then recovered Fort Knox and the other monuments Trypticon had stolen. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the freelance agent named [[Octane]] was being kidnapped right off of Cybertron&#039;s surface by Cyclonus and the Sweeps, Rodimus Prime and the Autobots stormed out to save their associate. Things were more complicated than they looked, however, as when Rodimus confronted Cyclonus, the Decepticon lieutenant spoke with [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]&#039;s voice! For some reason, learning Starscream was involved made Rodimus willing to let the Decepticons go. Crazy as it sounds, though, it worked—Starscream and Octane managed to lure Galvatron into an Autobot ambush. Rodimus Prime gave a friendly wave to Starscream for a job well done as he departed. &#039;&#039;Zuh&#039;&#039;? {{storylink|Starscream&#039;s Ghost}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While preparing for the first annual Cybertron peace conference, Rodimus Prime got together with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] to prepare a surprise party for Danny. They were interrupted by a [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] attack, as the Decepticons wanted to prevent the conference from occurring. The Combaticons were driven off, however, and only minor damage was done. {{storylink|Surprise Party}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During a diplomatic function, Rodimus Prime was forced to play statesman and deal with Ambassador [[Ynara]] and the other delegates. Curiously, when Daniel Witwicky went missing and Rodimus had an excuse to duck out of the &amp;quot;festivities&amp;quot;, he chose to delegate the search mission to Ultra Magnus and Blaster. Perhaps the normally action-hungry Rodimus Prime was actually becoming more accepting of his leadership duties. {{storylink|Madman&#039;s Paradise}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Daniel Witwicky began experiencing recurring nightmares, Rodimus never dreamed he would have to face those nightmares personally. The Quintessons&#039; latest experiment was to turn the young boy&#039;s imagination against his Autobot friends. Danny&#039;s own subconscious fought against the Quintessons&#039; manipulations, though, and helped the Autobots save themselves. After that experience, Rodimus Prime stayed by Danny&#039;s bedside until he conquered his fears and ended the nightmares. {{storylink|Nightmare Planet}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cybertron was put on high alert after [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] broke into Metroplex on Earth, stealing his eyes and blowing up a bomb in his brain. Rodimus and the Autobots were eventually able to suss out that Scourge was working with the ghost of Starscream, and they in turn were acquiring those eyes for Unicron. Rodimus put together a strike team and sent Ultra Magnus, Springer, [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] to Unicron to investigate, but they were repulsed by the Chaos-Bringer&#039;s defenses. Their second mission was more successful, detonating a series of explosives underneath Unicron once he came down to Cybertron, intent on connecting himself to the planet and turning it into his new body. After Unicron was successfully blasted back into orbit, Rodimus congratulated his men on a job well done. As a joke, he told Magnus and the others their next mission would be to return to the head of their Living Devil and retrieve his stolen eyes. That Roddy—he&#039;s hilarious.  {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus was dutifully overseeing some reconstruction work on Cybertron when [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] reported odd activity over the planet of Junk and among the Junkions themselves. He assembled a task force aboard [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] to take a look firsthand. [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] managed to neutralize the hypnotic signals influencing the Junkions, but the Autobots were unable to learn the cause of the whole situation. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At a galactic peace conference, Rodimus and Ultra Magnus attempted to end the centuries of war between the planets of [[Xetaxxis]] and [[Lanarq]]. They might as well have asked Galvatron, &amp;quot;Why you so &#039;&#039;crazy&#039;&#039;?&amp;quot; Every attempt at straight talk and reasonable discourse broke out into a brawl, fist-fighting and eventually laser fire. The two worlds only reached an accord once Blaster and Sky Lynx arrived with a Quintesson journal, detailing how the entire war between the two planets was a &amp;quot;case study&amp;quot; in escalation manipulated by the Quints to sell bigger and better armaments to both sides. {{storylink|The Quintesson Journal}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day, Rodimus Prime orchestrated the insertion of a new [[power core]] on Cybertron, designed by Perceptor to give the Autobots limitless free energy. Unfortunately, Perceptor also installed an emergency level to jettison the power core into space in the statistically impossible scenario that they would ever need to do such a wild, crazy thing. Sure enough, mere hours later, the power core was floating through space with a [[Trans-Organic]] [[Dweller|monster]] of Lovecraftian proportions latched to the outside of it. Rule of thumb: Installing any form of self-destruct switch increases the likelihood of needing said switch a billion percent. Encasing it behind glass adds another billion. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus Prime and the Autobots joined forces with the human police to help stop a domestic terrorist named [[Victor Drath]]. They grossly underestimated their opponent and were easily captured by Drath after he lured them to his residence with an anonymous phone call. Using some &amp;lt;strike&amp;gt;Cobra&amp;lt;/strike&amp;gt; mysterious technology, Drath siphoned the consciousnesses of Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, Springer and Arcee out of their bodies, inadvertently casting them into synthetic human forms. While trying to get back into Drath&#039;s headquarters, Rodimus and Springer were separated. Drath&#039;s girlfriend [[Michelle]] was intrigued enough by Rodimus&#039;s human form that she hid him from Drath&#039;s men. At least until after coffee...THEN she handed him over to Drath. Rodimus managed to overpower Drath and his men, and the villain&#039;s scheme was undone. Perceptor managed to reverse the process and restore the Autobots to their true forms. With one regretful look cast towards Michelle as she was led away by the police, Rodimus Prime rolled for home with the other Autobots. {{storylink|Only Human}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus Prime began to struggle with the burden of leadership again during a skirmish in Europe, where the Decepticons were working in conjunction with human terrorists. The pacifistic [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] chose to leave the Autobots after his refusal to fight cost Metroplex his transforming cog, and Rodimus chided himself for not having the words to convince the medic to stay. He was also unsettled by Galvatron&#039;s crowing about a new &amp;quot;[[Ultimate Weapon]]&amp;quot; which would bring the Autobots to their knees. Regardless of his internal strife, Rodimus continued the fight. He came up with a plan in which Spike and Daniel Witwicky posed as part of the (evil?) human repair crews working on Trypticon and liberated the Decepticon city-bot&#039;s transforming cog just as the &#039;Cons had taken Metroplex&#039;s. Rodimus and Ultra Magnus had to fight off Galvatron and the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]] in order to stall for time so that the Witwickys could complete their mission. Fortunately, the Stunticons had been off &amp;lt;strike&amp;gt;the shelves&amp;lt;/strike&amp;gt; the field for a while by this point, and so were utterly demolished by the two Autobots. Eventually, First Aid returned to the Autobots to finish repair work on the cog, and Rodimus ultimately called Galvatron&#039;s bluff and uncovered his &amp;quot;Ultimate Weapon&amp;quot; as the sham it was. These victories renewed Rodimus&#039;s confidence in his leadership abilities...until next time. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus and the Autobots arrived at the scene of a Quintesson quadrant lock as Galvatron was trying to claim it for himself. The Quintessons attempted to stop further investigation of the quadrant lock by casting the Transformers through a warp. Their encounter with the native [[Zamojin (species)|Zamojin]]s inside the lock was less than cordial, but the Autobots eventually managed to disable the quadrant lock and return starlight to the Zamojin people. {{storylink|The Face of the Nijika}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the unveiling of a new power generator, Rodimus Prime got frustrated at Grimlock&#039;s gross stupidity. Things only got worse when the Autobots discovered [[Anti-electron|anti-electrons]] being beamed out of the power generator and needed to negotiate the tunnels beneath Cybertron to reach the generator core...and Grimlock broke their only map. Luckily for Rodimus&#039;s sanity, Grimlock spontaneously developed super-intelligence after biting through the cables connecting the anti-electrons to the power generator. The Autobots then went on a mission to Unicron&#039;s head to prevent the Decepticons from recovering any more anti-electrons to use against them. They were nearly overwhelmed by the animalistic [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], but Grimlock constructed [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] and the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] as a counter-force against the bestial Decepticons. Rodimus and the others drove off the remaining Decepticons and restabilized the power generator for Cybertron&#039;s use. {{storylink|Grimlock&#039;s New Brain}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Earth&#039;s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], Rodimus Prime and the Autobots were engaged in trench warfare with the Decepticon for some vague but no doubt important reason. Rodimus demonstrated his keen tactical brilliance when the Decepticons attacked, suggesting the Autobots do the unexpected...and counter-attack. No, really—Galvatron seemed utterly amazed when they did that. However, the non-bestial Transformers on both sides were rendered lifeless when the energy-draining creature known as [[Tornedron]] attacked them while en route to Earth. When the threat was eliminated by Grimlock, Rodimus and the others came back to life without realising that anything had happened. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a particularly strenuous series of Decepticon attacks on Japan, Rodimus Prime was in no mood to be chewed out by the Japanese government for &amp;quot;not helping enough&amp;quot;. When [[Marissa Faireborn]] stopped by at just the wrong time with yet another problem, Rodimus blew her off and went racing on the back roads to let off some exhaust. Unfortunately, he was spotted by the Stunticons [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] and [[Wildrider]], who knocked him for a loop and (surprisingly) shook the Matrix of Leadership loose from his chest cavity. After the Stunticons made off with the Matrix, Rodimus woke up as Hot Rod. Shockingly to Springer and Ultra Magnus, Roddy was in no hurry to go after the thieves and recover the Matrix. His &#039;&#039;giri&#039;&#039; had become too burdensome, and Hot Rod was hardly interested in reclaiming the burden so soon. He returned to a dojo that had been upset by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] during the earlier attacks and observed the sensei and his pupils. After finding his center again, Hot Rod returned to the city, where the huntsman known as Scourge had been misusing the Matrix as a source of raw power to destroy everything around him. After a brief fight, Hot Rod reclaimed the Matrix from Scourge and became Rodimus Prime once more, accepting his path in life. Oh, and Kup was nodding sagely on the sidelines the entire time. Apparently, that helped somehow. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As it turned out, far from being destroyed, Optimus Prime had been retrieved by a team of human scientists who were hoping to use him (again) as a weapon against the Autobots—this time as the bearer of a malignant &amp;quot;[[Hate Plague]]&amp;quot; that would cause them to destroy one another. When he learned of this, Rodimus swiftly formed a rescue party and led them to retrieve Optimus&#039;s body so that their former leader could rest in peace. When all of the rest of the Autobots with him were exposed to the Hate Plague, only Rodimus was able to escape unharmed—and with the still-uninfected body of Optimus. Returning to Autobot City, Rodimus ordered [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky-Lynx]] to find a Quintesson to repair Optimus, then risked his life to shut down [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] before the Plague could spread to the titanic Autobot. Attacked by Ultra Magnus and Wreck-Gar in the process, he succumbed to the plague and became infected with hate. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} In order to stop the Plague, the resurrected Optimus had to defeat the crazed Rodimus and forcibly extract the Matrix from him, changing him back into Hot Rod once more. This time, as Optimus had decided to stick around, the change was a permanent one. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even after losing his position as Autobot leader, Hot Rod was not the sort to rest on his laurels. In 2007, he was among a group of Autobots who were caught in a blast from the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] and shot across the galaxy to the planet [[Nebulos]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} There, the Autobots fell in with a group of native rebels and aided them in opposing the tyrannical rule of the dictatorial [[Hive (G1)|Hive]]—a partnership that ultimately evolved into [[binary bonding]], the fusion of Transformer and Nebulan into [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] and [[Targetmaster|Targetmasters]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}} Hot Rod was linked to the Nebulan sharpshooter Firebolt and went on to aid in the defence of Cybertron as Galvatron attempted to use the Plasma Energy Chamber to destroy it. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

When Rodimus Prime hurled Galvatron into space at the conclusion of their battle within Unicron, he could not have predicted the tragic result of this action.  Galvatron crash-landed on Earth, on top of [[Tokyo]], [[Japan]], devastating the city and sparking off a massive anti-Transformer movement spearheaded by the [[Earth Defense Command]]. Horrified by what his actions had wrought, Rodimus gave up the Matrix to Ultra Magnus and reverted to Hot Rod once more, seeking a way to redeem himself for his unintentional misdeeds. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|A Big Catch Tonight?!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod returned to Earth in the year 2006, by which stage the planet had been scoured clean of Transformers by the E.D.C.. He was badly damaged by the [[anti-electron]] field that the E.D.C. had set up around the planet, and wound up falling out of the sky and crashing into the E.D.C.&#039;s headquarters, plunging through its levels into the subterranean chamber known as the [[Genital System]]. His explosive arrival interrupted a grotesque experiment involving former E.D.C. operative [[Shaoshao Li]] and the severed heads of several [[Legion]] (monstrous creatures created when Galvatron&#039;s cells, scattered by his impact, fused with Earthly creatures and machines). {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 2|Kiss Players #2}} The Legion attacked Hot Rod and began to [[ParasiTech|fuse]] with him, but a [[kiss]] from Shaoshao—one of the E.D.C.&#039;s [[Kiss Player]]s, also given fusing powers by Galvatron&#039;s cells—saved him, reformatting him into a Ford GT body. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 3|Kiss Players #3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Together with Shaoshao, Hot Rod went on the run, battling the E.D.C. and the Legion, while working to expose the evil intentions behind of Shaoshao&#039;s former employers. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #2}} Shaoshao, a longtime robot-hater, was not pleased about the partnership, disgusted by both the fact that she had to kiss Hot Rod {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #5}} and the Autobot&#039;s own smug self-confidence in his speed and sharpshooting skills. She insisted that he work hard on his martial arts training, but Rodimus preferred to simply use Shaoshao&#039;s own skills by fusing with her. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #8}} As part of his training, he learned to wield his tonfa weapons as guns, and embarked on a long-distance drive as a test of endurance. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #11}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Drawn to the E.D.C. headquarters by a massive Legion attack on the facility, Hot Rod and Shaoshao were shocked to see Optimus Prime at the head of the Legion swarm! Given that Prime had died the previous year, Hot Rod assumed he was facing an imposter and attacked, unaware that this was actually the genuine article, who had been brought back to life by the Kiss Player powers of Shaoshao&#039;s old friend, [[Marissa Faireborn]]. The battle was broken up and the Legions turned away by the E.D.C.&#039;s most powerful Kiss Player, [[Atari Hitotonari]], and Hot Rod and Shaoshao returned to their fugitive lifestyle. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 3|Kiss Players #3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:HotRodKP.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Flames on his arms and a naked girl in his tummy.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being on the lam, Hot Rod still had time for a little fishing now and then, (even though Shaoshao hated the fishy stench he would invariably return covered in) {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #17}} and even built himself a fishing pole that could transform into a set of blasters, dubbed the &amp;quot;Exhaust Rod&amp;quot;. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #20}} While Hot Rod was putting his new pole to use on a fishing trip to Tokyo Bay, he and Shaoshao were attacked by a mass of Legion and fused to fight back. It was during this latest fusion that Shaoshao glimpsed Hot Rod&#039;s memories and discovered that he was responsible for throwing Galvatron into space, and her fury caused the fusion to end quite violently. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|A Big Catch Tonight?!}} Despite Hot Rod&#039;s peace offering of new underwear (actually stolen from Marissa), {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #29}} Shaoshao concluded that she really didn&#039;t care about his guilt, and was just using him to win Marissa back from Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #26}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:KP002.jpg|right|thumb|200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Investigating a large number of Legion that seemed to be converging on Tokyo, Hot Rod and Shaoshao spotted a dark-haired girl riding on the shoulder of one of the creatures. As they watched, she disappeared into the Legion, and they believed she may have been a Kiss Player, until Hot Rod realised that his scanners had not picked up any body heat from the girl. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #32}} As if this haunting experience was not bad enough, Hot Rod then began to suffer from nightmares, filled with images of Megatron, caused by the Galvatron cells that the Legion had added to his system when they had tried to fuse with him. Shaoshao exploited the increase in Rodimus&#039;s violent tendencies that these nightmares caused by whispering in the Autobot&#039;s ear as he slept, telling him that he had to kill the impostor Optimus Prime so she could have Marissa back. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #35}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Marissa and Prime led another army of Legions in another attack on the E.D.C. headquarters, Shaoshao and Hot Rod were again there to face them. The two Autobots were overcome by the destructive impulses of their Galvatron cells and began viciously fighting, but as they did so, Marissa and Shaoshao were able to settle their own differences and bring the battle to an end, vowing to discover the dark secret at the heart of the E.D.C.. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #37}} Together with Atari, the group ventured down into the Genital System, where they discovered a secret plot by E.D.C. commander [[Hitoshizuku Amaō]] to resurrect her dead daughter (the ghost girl Hot Rod and Shaoshao had seen) in Atari&#039;s body. Atari thwarted Amaō&#039;s fusion process, however, and instead caused all of the scattered Galvatron cells to be re-absorbed into the Decepticon leader&#039;s comatose body. Hot Rod destroyed the anti-electron field generator, and was then reverted back to normal as his Galvatron cells were drawn out of him and reconstituted within Galvatron&#039;s body, which Atari then flung into space. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|You, I, and the Spinning Earth}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod went on his way, but did not take back the Matrix and leadership of the Autobots until the year 2010. It is unknown whether he ever discovered that the true instigators of the Tokyo incident were Unicron&#039;s minions, the [[Sparkbot]]s, who had altered Galvatron&#039;s trajectory.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus Prime faced numerous bizarre challenges in the year 2010, one of which involved Galvatron attempting to seize spaceships with his &#039;&#039;own&#039;&#039; spaceship that ate &#039;&#039;other&#039;&#039; spaceships.  Rodimus infiltrated the toothy craft in order to plant a bomb to destroy it.  Unfortunately, Galvatron trapped him inside and beat him senseless.  Rodimus was about to give up when the spirit of Optimus Prime spoke to him through the Matrix, urging him to fight on.  Rodimus snapped out of it and escaped through a hole created by Galvatron&#039;s cannon.  Before leaving, though, he dropped the bomb off in Cyclonus&#039; hands, detonating the ship.{{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During another adventure, Rodimus and his troops were taken under siege by a horde of Megatron clones calling themselves the [[Megatron Corps]].  The Megatron Corps made short work of Rodimus, leaving him to wonder how he could defeat a whole horde of the baddie, when Optimus Prime could barely deal with &#039;&#039;one&#039;&#039;.  Rodimus eventually realized that Galvatron was secretly controlling the clones and singled him out.  With Galvatron defeated, the Megatron Corps ceased to function.  {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not long after that, Galvatron attacked [[Autobot City]] on Earth with the power of [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]].  Though Trypticon was defeated by [[Six-Gun]], of all Autobots, Rodimus did not arrive on the scene until after the battle had ended.  Young blonde [[human]] girls squeeled at his hunkiness, though. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During another battle, he was forced to team with his arch-nemesis, Galvatron, to defeat the all-powerful [[Guiltaur]].  Guiltaur was a creation built by the [[Quintesson|Quintessons]] utilizing the powers of both Optimus Prime and Megatron.  Together, Rodimus and Galvatron defeated their foe (who it turned out was being controlled by the ghost of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]) and called off the truce.  {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After that, Rodimus lead the Autobots to the planet [[Feminia]] to protect it&#039;s [[Prime Energy Tower]] from Galvatron and the Decepticons.  The Autobots proved ineffectual against the might of [[Predaking]]...at least until the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibot]]s showed up to win the day. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5}}&lt;br /&gt;

After the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s rescued the scientist [[Doctor Dalton]] from the clutches of the Decepticons, Rodimus met with him to discuss upgrading the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus then watched on in horror as the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s made short work of the upgraded Technobots and nearly turned them into Decepticons with [[Cohesive Control Liquid]].  [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] managed to save the Technobots and send the Decepticons into retreat, swearing vengeance. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early in 2011, after having given up the Matrix of Leadership and reverted back to Hot Rod, he accompanied the newly resurrected Optimus Prime in a space battle against Galvatron and the Decepticons.  The Decepticons fled, and though Hot Rod wished to pursue them, Optimus ordered him the return to base, as the entire battle seemed fishy.  Indeed, it was all a distraction so that Galvatron could begin his ultimate invasion of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

One year after the Hate Plague affair and the resurrection of Optimus Prime, Hot Rod maintained a high-level position among the Autobots as well as a new sense of duty and responsibility. Hot Rod was stationed on [[Athenia]] when the Decepticons, bolstered with the addition of new Headmaster warriors, attacked Cybertron in an attempt to take control of [[Vector Sigma]], which had become destabilized as a result of the Matrix&#039;s energy being released.  {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}}  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a group of Autobot Headmasters arrived to help, Optimus Prime broke off from the battle and ventured into Cybertron&#039;s depths, hoping to find a way to stabilize Vector Sigma. This, however, would require the sacrifice of his own life if attempted without the Matrix, which was hidden somewhere on Earth, recharging. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Hot Rod and the Autobot Headmasters searched the Matrix out and returned to Cybertron with it, where the spirit of [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] recharged its empty shell, transforming Hot Rod back into Rodimus Prime. Optimus and Rodimus defeated the Decepticons together, but Optimus still wound up sacrificing himself to stabilize Vector Sigma, leaving Rodimus Prime in command of the Autobots once again. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}&lt;br /&gt;

Rodimus Prime chose to oversee Autobot operations largely from Athenia, leaving Earth as Ultra Magnus and Metroplex&#039;s jurisdiction, and maintaining a relatively minor presence on Cybertron itself. One of his actions as returning leader was to oversee the resurrection of [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], who gave his life during the recent search for the Matrix. He had [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] employ [[Master (planet)|Master]] technology to revive the communications expert in a new body as [[Twincast]]. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}} After Fortress and the Headmasters ran into trouble on the planet [[Beest]], Rodimus Prime brought the [[Trainbot]]s and [[Monsterbot]]s with him as reinforcements to foil Galvatron&#039;s plans. {{storylink|Rebellion on Planet Beest}} He also oversaw the Autobots&#039; efforts to defeat a [[Metamorpho|gravity-warping meteorite]], and encouraged Daniel to be courageous enough to help the Autobots against the metal-sensitive menace. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day, Rodimus Prime accompanied Ultra Magnus to an energy research laboratory, where a new power source had supposedly been discovered. Upon arrival, however, they discovered the research team had been killed and no new power source existed. Reviewing the tape announcing the discovery, Rodimus realized the broadcasting scientist was actually under the control of [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]], and the whole trip was to get him out of the way so that Scorponok could set a trap for the Headmasters on [[Praum]]. Taking the Trainbots, Rodimus Prime arrived on Praum in time to help the Headmasters chase off Galvatron and their evil counterparts. {{storylink|The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery}} Rodimus Prime soon supervised the Autobots during a series of terrorist threats around the globe. He allowed [[Shoki]] and the Trainbots to take first crack at the robot threatening their homeland of Japan. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Vector Sigma created a new kind of super-metal known as [[Cybertonuron]], Rodimus Prime realized it would be a tempting target for the Decepticons. Sure enough, Galvatron soon launched an all-out attack on Cybertron to capture Vector Sigma and the Cybertonuron. Rodimus assembled a massive counterstrike force to transport to Cybertron, but Fortress cautioned that the whole ordeal thus far might be a trap. Rodimus recognized the possibility, but stated the idea of Galvatron controlling the Cybertonuron was too dangerous to risk. Rodimus Prime traveled to Cybertron himself aboard the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]], and engaged Galvatron in hand-to-hand combat. Tragically, Rodimus was soundly defeated by his old foe, and would have been helplessly executed by Galvatron if [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundblaster]] hadn&#039;t insisted on giving his leader an office memo Right. That. Minute. TPS reports wait for no &#039;bot. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} As the fighting continued to escalate, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] decided it was too dangerous to risk the Autobots keeping control of the Cybertonuron. He had Mindwipe and the Headmasters plant a series of bombs at Cybertron core, resulting in a massive planetary explosion, leaving Cybertron a burnt-out husk. Deciding that his time was over, and that newer, younger Transformers should take over, Rodimus passed leadership of the Autobots to [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]], and departed for space with Kup and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] to search for a new planet that the Transformers could make their own. Arcee asked if she could go, too, but Rodimus instructed her to stay behind to look after Daniel and Wheelie.  {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
With Optimus Prime dead yet again, Hot Rod returned to being Rodimus Prime and erected a statue of his fallen commander on Cybertron.  During the dedication, the Decepticons were spotted approaching the planet.  Rodimus dispatched the [[Headmasters of Justice]] to deal with the threat. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, the Decepticons made a second attempt to seize planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]] while the Autobot [[Beastformer]] leader, [[White Leo]], was away.  Rodimus Prime sent the Headmasters of Justice to Beast in order to drive back the invading Decepticons. {{storylink|Great Decisive Battle of Planet Beast!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his journey through space in search of a replacement homeworld for the Autobots, Rodimus faced many dangers and hardships, but was supported by the wisdom of the Matrix and the energy of the Earth that now coursed within it. Learning a new admiration for the human race and the planet Earth, he returned to Earth in the wake of the defeat of Scorponok, and reunited with the Autobots.  {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 8|The Headmasters issue 8}}&lt;br /&gt;

=====&#039;&#039;The Battlestars&#039;&#039;=====&lt;br /&gt;
It would be many years before Rodimus resurfaced. He eventually returned at the same time as Optimus Prime was resurrected as [[Optimus Prime (G1)#The Battlestars story pages and comic|Star Convoy]], and was shown to have reverted back into Hot Rod, and been converted into a [[Micromaster]]. As a Micromaster, Hot Rod took up residence in Star Convoy&#039;s chest, boosting his Supreme Commander&#039;s power.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Hotrod-micro.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Well, at least this girl has clothes on.]]&lt;br /&gt;
During her travels through time and space, [[Teletraan 15]] encountered Micromaster Hot Rod, who rescued her from a strange mechanical monster, a [[Novaroid]].  Teletraan 15 noted that Hot Rod was considerably smaller than she remembered him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod asked if she was the one responsible for all the [[Transwarp]] travel and blamed her for the wormholes that were opening everywhere. Spotting a large wormhole opening, he transformed to vehicle mode and told her to climb inside, saying that something big was coming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Optimus Prime (G1)#The Battlestars story pages and comic|Star Convoy]] appeared and requested Hot Rod&#039;s assistance, telling him that [[Megatron (G1)|Ultra Megatron]] was fusing with [[Dark Nova]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Hot Rod said his farewells to Teletraan 15, he was suddenly struck by an immense blast from the wormhole overhead. The shadowy form of [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] descended from the rip in the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 leaped in front of Hot Rod to protect him, and was rewarded for her heroism by seeing her right arm torn off by the Decepticon&#039;s power. The severed arm gripped in his teeth, Galvatron throttled the much smaller Hot Rod. As [[Safety]] and [[Fly-Up]] of the [[Guard City]] team raced toward her, Teletraan 15 faded into unconsciousness, leaving Hot Rod&#039;s fate and the outcome of the battle unknown.  {{storylink|15 Go!

{{noteukonly}}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Several hundred years ago, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] dispatched Hot Rod and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] to search for habitable worlds. During this mission, the pair ran afoul of the [[Tyroxian]]s—unpleasant [[alien]]s who captured Blurr and pursued Hot Rod through space. While fleeing, Hot Rod crossed paths with the Autobot war veteran, Kup, living a nomadic existence wandering through space at the time, and the youth&#039;s bravado in attacking [[Tyroxia]] single-handed re-ignited Kup&#039;s fighting spirit. After saving Hot Rod and helping him to rescue Blurr, Kup joined the pair in returning to Cybertron.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Kup&#039;s Story!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BrothersinArmor-Targetmasters.jpg|left|thumb|350px|I&#039;m important!  Just not right now.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod was among the contingent of Transformers who ultimately accompanied Fortress Maximus in abandoning the war on Cybertron for a new world, [[Nebulos]]. The Autobots&#039; arrival on the planet immediately stirred civil unrest, however, which led to the Decepticons being brought to the planet, and the war continuing on a smaller scale. Technological advancements developed during the conflict saw Nebulans being bio-engineered into [[Binary bonding|partnerships]] with the Transformers. Hot Rod became a Targetmaster, and was bonded to the Nebulan sharpshooter, Firebolt (aka Sparks), who transformed into his gun. Eventually, the Autobots determined to move their war away from Nebulos, and followed a signal sent by [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]], received by Hot Rod, to the planet [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod and the other Autobots of Nebulos were soon incorporated into the larger Autobot force on Earth, under the command of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]. On one occasion, Hot Rod and several Autobots accompanied Prime on what appeared to be a simple mission to stop some Decepticon [[Micromaster]]s from attacking MacDill Air Force Base. {{storylink|Back from the Dead}} In fact, the attack was part of a much larger scheme by the deposed Decepticon leader [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], luring Prime and his forces away from the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and setting them against his rival for Decepticon leadership, the mighty [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Once Prime realized the greater threat at issue, he ordered his troops to immediately take the [[Ark shuttlecraft|shuttle]] back to the Ark, but Hot Rod recklessly chose to stay behind at Optimus&#039;s side to face the Decepticons. {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}} He was therefore on-hand when the newly resurrected [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] arrived, and began tearing through all Transformers present, in the name of Megatron. He managed to take a shot at Starscream&#039;s new [[Pretender]] shell, causing enough neural feedback to temporarily weaken the Decepticon, and give Scorponok time to strike and end the threat. {{storylink|Skin Deep}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cost was still high, though, as Optimus Prime returned to the Ark and learned that his good friend, [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], had sacrificed himself to help stop Megatron&#039;s schemes. This sent the Autobot leader into a depression, and Hot Rod took it upon himself to snap Optimus out of it. He had the crazy scheme of creating a mock threat with a [[Guardian (Marvel)|Guardian Mark V battle droid]], with predictable results. The robot proceeded to &#039;&#039;actually&#039;&#039; malfunction and endanger the Autobots, but Hot Rod&#039;s plan worked when Prime eventually snapped out of his funk and defeated the droid to save the day. Hot Rod needed to find a replacement hand after the Guardian snapped it off, but hey, all&#039;s well that ends well. {{storylink|Yesterday&#039;s Heroes!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hoverscooter.jpg|right|thumb|250px|whoopeee]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod continued to operate with Earth&#039;s Autobot forces aboard the Ark, and was present during [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]&#039;s rampage through the shuttle bay. He took some damage, but remained functional enough to continue on, and was later seen speeding into the battle with Unicron himself on a [[hoverscooter]], {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} He was also one of many Autobots destroyed by the Decepticons on [[Klo]], only to be revived by the [[Last Autobot]]. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At some unspecified point in time, Rodimus Prime defeated [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] in a battle inside [[Unicron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an alternate future of 2006, Rodimus Prime was the leader of the Autobots, who were in control of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] reported suspicious activity on [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]], so Rodimus sent the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s to investigate. [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] was defeated in battle but was able to send back an SOS before going offline. Sky Lynx was dispatched to retrieve him, and Rodimus decided to investigate himself. He took [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] in [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once there, the Autobots discovered a chaotic scene where aliens from many worlds, including the Decepticons, had arrived and were all engaged in a deadly battle with one another. Rodimus was immediately attacked by a hypnotized [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], and the two battled to a standstill. The other Autobots were able to disrupt a hypnotic signal that was causing everyone to fight one another. The [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] then added their strength against the Decepticons, causing the latter to retreat. Rodimus didn&#039;t care where the hypnosis signal had been coming from, as long as it was off for good. He never discovered that it was the work of the [[Quintesson]]s. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (US)}}&lt;br /&gt;

In an alternate future timeline, Hot Rod arose to become Rodimus Prime. However, the planet-eater known as Unicron managed to destroy Cybertron, leaving Rodimus to lead a failed Autobot/human defense of Earth when [[Galvatron II|that timeline&#039;s Galvatron]] attacked and eventually conquered it. Rodimus perished during the conflict, and his body was strung up between the ruined towers of the World Trade Center. In the year 2009, Galvatron returned to Manhattan to survey its devastated landscape, and fired upon Rodimus&#039;s corpse, demanding to know how many times he would have to kill him to erase his legacy. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}}&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;Hot Rod rose to greater prominence in the alternate future timeline of [[Earth-120185]]. In 1990, he, Kup and Blurr were captured by Megatron; although rescued by a double-agent named [[Warmonger]], Hot Rod was recaptured and bore witness first hand to Megatron&#039;s mercilessness when he executed Warmonger. Then, in 1991, he was part of a unit that escorted the captive [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], only to lose the Decepticon leader when forced to defend a human settlement against an attack by the [[Air Strike Patrol]].&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}} &#039;&#039;On another occasion in 1995, Hot Rod was present when Optimus Prime first unveiled the female Autobot, Arcee, to [[Feminist mob|a dubious crowd of human feminists]]. Hot Rod was more than a little flustered by Arcee&#039;s presence on the battlefield.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Prime&#039;s Rib!}} &#039;&#039;In 2003, he and Blurr were given &amp;quot;Ark duty,&amp;quot; assigned to stand guard over the [[Ark (G1)|Autobots&#039; spaceship]] while construction on [[Autobot City]] began. Kup was apparently instructed to deliver the plans of the city to the American government, and when Hot Rod saw him being jumped by the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], he disobeyed orders and sped out to the rescue. The Stunticons brutally beat on Hot Rod and took the plans, but Hot Rod learned a hard lesson when Kup informed him that it was meant to happen that way because the plans were a fake.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Ark Duty}} &#039;&#039;When the city was completed in 2004, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] attacked it on its opening day, and Hot Rod repelled him by attacking in a wildly illogical manner, tackling him down a mountain repeatedly.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}} &#039;&#039;Also, at some unknown point in the past, Hot Rod&#039;s Targetmaster partner Firebolt was killed in action. {{storylink|Headhunt}}&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In the year 2006, when the new Decepticon leader [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] travelled back in time to 1986 as part of a plan to free himself from the control of Unicron, the chaos-bringer used his mental powers to plant knowledge of Galvatron&#039;s plan into the minds of Hot Rod, Kup and Blurr and transported them to Cybertron, where they used Galvatron&#039;s equipment to follow him into the past. There, with help from the present-day incarnation of Ultra Magnus, they were able to convince Galvatron that he had, in fact, traveled back in time to a parallel universe, where his actions would have no effect on the future. Believing this, Galvatron returned to his own time, and after setting any remaining wrongs to rights, the trio of Autobots also returned to 2006.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Target: 2006}} &#039;&#039;Back in his native timeline, Hot Rod was subsequently involved in a battle with Galvatron inside Unicron&#039;s body, during which he opened the sacred Autobot talisman, the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]], and was transformed into Rodimus Prime. With this new strength, he hurled Galvatron through Unicron&#039;s hide and opened the Matrix, destroying the planet-eater.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It&#039;s believed that [[Primus]] &#039;&#039;deliberately&#039;&#039; caused Hot Rod&#039;s Prime form to resemble him. What an ego!&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Salvage!|#160&#039;s Grim Grams}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Rodimusprimerequestdenied.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Rodimus learned the wrong lesson from Optimus&#039;s death.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;As the new Autobot leader, Rodimus became paranoid about Galvatron&#039;s eventual return, since no body was ever recovered from space. He led the Autobot forces high and low searching the universe for the Decepticon leader, neglecting Cybertron in the process. As a result, Shockwave arose as the new Decepticon leader, and total war broke out on Cybertron once again. Unable to take the time to find Galvatron himself anymore, Rodimus rashly placed a bounty on the Decepticon&#039;s head. What Rodimus did not realize, however, was that Galvatron had time-jumped again, traveling back to 1987.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Wanted:Galvatron — Dead or Alive!}} &#039;&#039;In 2007, when the freelance peace-keeping agent [[Death&#039;s Head (G1)|Death&#039;s Head]] pursued Galvatron back to the &#039;80s, Rodimus was informed of this fact by an Autobot double-agent named [[Nautilus]], and, dismayed at the danger he had unleashed on the past, promptly headed back in time himself to stop the dual threats.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Burning Sky!}} &#039;&#039;Once again teaming up with the present-day Ultra Magnus, Rodimus and his team of Kup, Blurr and [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] tracked Galvatron down to [[Mount Verona]], where he was attempting to harness the volcano&#039;s molten energy. While arguing with Death&#039;s Head, Rodimus and the bounty hunter were both attacked, but when Ultra Magnus opened fire on his [[power siphon]], Galvatron was distracted long enough for Rodimus to escape.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Hunters}} &#039;&#039;Rodimus then arranged a plan that saw the Autobots capture Galvatron&#039;s time-jump mechanism, in order to have Wreck-Gar re-engineer it to return all the time-travelers to their point of origin. Rodimus engaged Galvatron in a protracted battle to buy Wreck-Gar time, but when the device was activated, Rodimus, Death&#039;s Head and the other Autobots were returned to 2007. Galvatron was left behind.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Fire on High!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Some time later, a disgruntled Death&#039;s Head accepted a contract from the Decepticons on Rodimus Prime&#039;s head, and ambushed him while he was inspecting Autobot lines. Their battle subsequently went underground, where [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] intervened, downing Death&#039;s Head in hopes of being the ones to defeat Rodimus, in order to reclaim their lost standing in the Decepticons&#039; ranks. Rodimus was able to lead Death&#039;s Head through the underground tunnels, right into the heart of the Autobot camp, where he offered him advance payment for a different contract—on Cyclonus and Scourge.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Headhunt}} &#039;&#039;Death&#039;s Head proceeded to track the two Decepticons for the remainder of the year, until the three of them fell under the mental control of Unicron when they discovered his disembodied head on the planet of [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]] in the early days of 2008. Under his control, they assassinated Decepticon leader Shockwave and reignited the stalemated Cybertronian civil war in order to keep the Autobots busy while Unicron worked on rebuilding his body. Rodimus, however, learned of the situation thanks to [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]], and led a small Autobot force to Junk, where Death&#039;s Head fought against Unicron&#039;s control long enough to project Rodimus&#039;s mind into a battle with the demi-god on the astral plane. During the battle, explosives planted by Wreck-Gar destroyed Unicron&#039;s head, and his mind was sealed within the Matrix.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Targetmaster-nomore.jpg|right|180px|thumb|&amp;quot;I&#039;m not being melodramatic, you&#039;re being insensitive!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Later in 2008, the alien Quintessons targeted Cybertron for colonization, and attacked the Autobots with a two-pronged assault on both Cybertron and Earth. When [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] shirked her guard duty at Autobot City, the Quintessons were given an opening that allowed them to take over the city, and when she returned, they gunned her down as bait for a trap for Rodimus Prime. Arriving at the city, Rodimus discovered the injured Arcee and opened his chest compartment to heal her with the Matrix, only to have it yanked from his grasp by the Quintesson general, [[General Ghyrik|Ghyrik]], causing him to revert to Hot Rod. Liberating [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]&#039;s cassettes for back-up, Hot Rod and Arcee proceeded to fight their way through the Quintessons to Autobot City&#039;s control room, where Hot Rod activated [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] to smash the alien threat. In battle with Ghyrik, Hot Rod duped the Quintessons with a bit of amateur ventriloquism and reclaimed the Matrix; transformed back into Rodimus Prime again, he routed the Quintessons.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Unbeknownst to Rodimus, the Quintessons had sought to colonize Cybertron because their own homeworld was being destroyed by a rift in space and time caused by the Transformers&#039; repeated time-travel. The rift continued to grow in size until it threatened both Earth and Cybertron at the beginning of both 2009 and 1989. To put an end to the threat, Rodimus and a squad of Autobots traveled back to 1989, only to wind up mass-displacing Optimus Prime (since the Matrix could not exist in two time periods at once) and a group of other Autobots to [[limbo]], leading to a brief but violent misunderstanding with the present-day Autobots. Optimus Prime was able to stabilize the situation by communicating with all involved through the power of the Matrix. Subsequently, Autobots and Decepticons from both the present and future teamed up to battle Galvatron and [[Straxus (G1)|Megatron]], but one by one they fell, until Optimus Prime used the Matrix to return himself to reality for a final showdown. After absorbing Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge, however, the rift was sealed by Shockwave, and Rodimus and the other future Autobots returned to 2009, vowing to destroy their time machines to prevent this from ever happening again.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Time Wars}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;As it transpired, however, things would not be that easy. In the wake of the massive chronal damage caused by the rift, time had attempted to heal its wounds, but reality was no longer as it had been. The future that Rodimus and the other Autobots came from no longer existed—in its place was a world where Galvatron had never traveled back in time, and had conquered Cybertron after Unicron&#039;s destruction. Rodimus quickly established a rebellion, but when Galvatron tracked down their headquarters, he killed Blurr and all others present, goading Rodimus into a ferocious battle in hopes of corrupting the Matrix within him. Rodimus realized what he was doing, however, and ended the fight before more damage could be done.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Rodimus and the Autobots escaped to Earth via hyperspace, only to find that their craft&#039;s guidance systems had been damaged. During the flight, Rodimus Prime vanished&#039;&#039; {{storylink|The Void! (UK)|The Void!}}, &#039;&#039;and Kup discovered that he was the saboteur,&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Edge of Impact}} &#039;&#039;deducing that he had been corrupted by an evil force from within the Matrix.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Shadow of Evil}} &#039;&#039;Inside the Matrix, Rodimus battled with the essence of Unicron, trapped there since the events of 2008, until Kup wrenched the Matrix from his chest, freeing him from the chaos-bringer&#039;s influence. But now, Rodimus knew that the evil of Unicron would be waiting for him within it...&#039;&#039; {{storylink|White Fire}} &#039;&#039;...and in 2010, Unicron&#039;s essence succeeded in taking over Rodimus&#039;s body, transforming it into a duplicate of his own and attacking Cybertron once more, until Rodimus was able to defeat him from within and re-seal him within the Matrix.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Centuries later, in the year 2356, Rodimus, his body withered and weakened from the continuous harmful influence of Unicron from within the Matrix, lectured a young Autobot [[student]] on the nature of evil, unwittingly setting the youth on the path towards villainy himself.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In an unidentified timeline in the year 2510, a healthy Rodimus Prime was overjoyed to announce that the Cybertronian war was finally over, and planned to step down as leader to allow [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] to take over. The sole remaining Decepticon, a double-agent named [[Triton]], spoke out against the decision to cause dissension, and succeeded—as Rodimus could only watch in dismay, arguments escalated into conflict, and the war was born again as [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]] fought [[Wrecker]], and the Autobot Civil War began.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Peace}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Generation 2====&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:HotrodG2Marvelcomic.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]After the defeat of the Decepticons on [[Klo]], the Autobots&#039; forces scattered throughout the galaxy as virtually independent splinter cells. A small group under Optimus Prime&#039;s command encountered Bludgeon and his soldiers on a desolate world, both sides looking for new weapons or technology, and were in danger of being overrun. Prime sent Hot Rod into a nearby mausoleum building in the hopes that he could conjure up some form of &amp;quot;graven image&amp;quot; to distract the superstitious Decepticon leader. Hot Rod emerged empty-handed from the ruins, only to find that just [[Guardian (G2)|such a graven image]] had conjured &#039;&#039;itself&#039;&#039;, chased off the trespassing Decepticons, and was now prepared to do the same to the Autobots. They managed a dignified, if rushed, scramble to safety. {{storylink|All or Nothing!|Ghosts}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometime after, Hot Rod was operating somewhere in the universe with Optimus Prime and Kup when Grimlock summoned them to deal with the threat of [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] and his Cybertronians. Together, they formed the initial Autobot resistance to the Liege Centuro. {{storylink|War Without End!}} Once Optimus&#039;s visions convinced him there was a much greater threat at work in the universe, however, he took the Autobots into hiding until they were ready to deal with the bigger picture. Stuck on a distant asteroid base, Hot Rod amused himself by running training with the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], and other soldiers as the army slowly regrouped and reorganized, but chafed at the lack of real action. {{storylink|The Power and the Glory}} Luckily, the Autobots soon joined forces with the old Decepticons, the fight ramped up to epic proportions... and Hot Rod proceeded to do nothing of import for the rest of the war.&lt;br /&gt;

Hot Rod was one of several troops stationed on Earth when [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] was in charge and the Transformers&#039; war was still a secret one. He got along well with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], the two spending their downtime looking at car magazines together, and was quite pleased to receive some snazzy gold wheel-trims from the boy.  {{storylink|Decepticon Hideout|Decepticon Hideout}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the time following this campaign, Hot Rod would mature into a more sensible warrior and even a team leader. During the early stages of the war on [[Nebulos]], Hot Rod was Autobot commander against [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus&#039;]] Decepticons before the return of Optimus Prime. At one point, he prevented the Decepticons causing Nebulos&#039; destruction via cosmic radiation.  {{storylink|Decepticons at the Pole|Decepticons at the Pole}}&lt;br /&gt;

Clutching a [[Blackball]], Rodimus Prime found himself being attacked by Galvatron. As the Decepticon leader attempted to throttle him, a light shone from Rodimus&#039;s chest, making Galvatron think it was the power of the Blackball. After Galvatron had fled, Rodimus revealed it was just a torch, and reflected on what an idiot his foe was. {{storylink|Transformer PD Type##11 &amp;quot;Take a Stand!

As Ultra Magnus left for a mission to find an Energon source, Hot Rod assured him that everything would be fine on Cybertron, and if there was any hint of trouble &amp;quot;Rodimus&amp;quot; would pop up and save the day.  When Magnus later checked in, Hot Rod reported that they&#039;d made some process on Headmaster technology. Though Magnus was more concerned about the threat of war, Hot Rod told him not to worry, unaware that [[Sixshot]] was planning to throw him a surprise. {{storylink|The Test (issue)|The Test}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod was pleased to have [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] back. Then [[Monitorus]] arrived with the news that [[Tau-Ursa]] had been attacked and leveled by Decepticons, and Hot Rod got to point out that the Tau-Ursans had refused the Autobots permission to build a defense base there. He shortly took part in an attempt to repel a Decepticon attack on Cybertron, finding himself fighting against Sixshot, who seemed more interested in goading him than fighting. This turned out to be a diversion, while [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] used his new [[Nullification Cannon]] on the planet&#039;s Energon supplies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod and Blurr next visited Tau-Ursa to check for Decepticons, and encountered [[Apeface|Ape Face]], who had found a [[Logicon]] warning beacon. The two Autobots wrestled it from him and returned to Cybertron, where the beacon was found to hold the coordinates to [[Metascan Alpha]], a major Energon storehouse. Prime placed Hot Rod in charge of one of two teams to search for the planet, though the operation was hampered slightly by the discovery of the two Decepticon [[Clone (subgroup)|Clone]]s spying on them. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Hotroddreamwave.jpg|150px|right|thumb|]]Hot Rod joined an underground Autobot cell led by [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] after [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave&#039;s]] takeover of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Among the members of the cell was [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], who Hot Rod became attached to. From the [[Wastelands]], Hot Rod, [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]], and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] observed an incoming Decepticon shuttle carrying the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]].  {{storylink|Cold War|Cold War}} Shortly afterward, the cell rescued [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] from [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]] and [[Runabout]], and took him to their base.  After awakening, Prime attacked [[Gnaw]], Blurr, and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], forcing Hot Rod (who didn&#039;t recognize him) to hold the Autobot leader at gunpoint. After being &amp;lt;strike&amp;gt;bitch slapped&amp;lt;/strike&amp;gt; admonished by Kup, Hot Rod apologized.  {{storylink|Passive Aggression|Passive Aggression}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Shockwave unleashed the [[Guardian robot]]s on [[Iacon]], Prime organized the resistance cell and other Autobot forces on the planet in an assault on Shockwave&#039;s citadel. Fighting alongside the Autobot leader, Hot Rod was amazed that the stories Kup had told him about Prime&#039;s courage and heroism had all been true. As an injured Prime breached the citadel, Hot Rod, Ironhide and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] provided cover fire, taking down a number of Guardians in the process.  Along with the rest of Iacon, they witnessed the divine light of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Autobot Matrix of Leadership]] when Shockwave activated it.  {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] battled Shockwave within the citadel, Hot Rod and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] took down [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] and [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]. Immediately afterward, they were confronted with the looming threat of a remaining Guardian robot—a threat that was soon neutralized by the arrival of the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]], the [[Autobot High Council]], and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. The unified Autobot group soon breached the citadel.  {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time later, Hot Rod ran a simulation combat scenario against Kup, and won using tactics that, in Kup&#039;s opinion, would have killed them both had it been real. Only after his victory did Hot Rod remember that he&#039;d promised to take Arcee to see an [[Earth]]-bound shuttle launch—a duty Springer was happy to relieve him of.  {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} Soon afterward, he was assigned to perimeter guard duty at [[Autobase (G1)|Autobase]] with Gnaw and Wheelie, separating him from Arcee.  {{storylink|The Route of All Evil|The Route of All Evil}}&lt;br /&gt;

===&#039;&#039;Universe: Featuring the Wreckers&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Skidswreckers2.jpg|left|250px|thumb|It&#039;s funny because Rodimus sucked at everything.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few months after the destruction of [[Unicron]] in 2005, Rodimus Prime spearheaded an effort to establish multiple recon posts to watch for advancing threats... even though some of his scientists said he shouldn&#039;t. When only two of the five launched ships were ever heard from again, Rodimus felt like a schmuck. Guy can&#039;t catch a break.  {{storylink|Betrayal}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Great Wars ended and the [[Pax Cybertronia]] was signed, he changed his name to simply &amp;quot;Rodimus&amp;quot; and decided to check out the new &amp;quot;[[Maximal Upgrade]]&amp;quot;. His relationship with [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] effectively ended shortly after, as the latter went through dark gripping emo depression over the death of [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] and vanished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus joined the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] at some undetermined point afterward. After [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] took over Cybertron with his [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon drones]], Wrecker leader [[Apelinq]] got stranded on prehistoric [[Earth]], leaving Rodimus in charge. True to form, he ditched leadership duties to [[Primal Prime]] as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Primal Prime got his marching orders from the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], he met Rodimus deep inside Cybertron&#039;s caverns, where an even more gothy-emo Arcee—in a new Maximal body—lurked and stewed in her depression. Realizing he couldn&#039;t convince her to give a damn about anything, he left, rejoining the main Wrecker force in battle. Making it onto an ancient Autobot shuttle, the Wreckers blasted off... with late-arrival Arcee.  {{storylink|Departure}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Arceedisclosure.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Except you&#039;re the size of my arm now.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus recognized the homing beacon emitting from [[Akalo|Archa Nine]] as one of those missing exploration parties mentioned before. When the shuttle landed, Rodimus stayed behind to help repair the damage the ship had suffered.  The entire Wrecker team later gathered in an [[Akalouthan]] village, where Rodimus was reunited with [[Glyph (G1)|Glyph]], who took them to see the artifact known as the [[Divine Light]]. The Wreckers&#039; analysis of the item was cut short, as it was stolen by the traitor [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. Rodimus saw the back-in-his-old-body [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] off, who was sent to chase after Cyclonus, while the Wreckers made for their next destination... even though several of them were now leery of the visions Primal Prime had been getting.  Because they&#039;d really done &#039;&#039;so well&#039;&#039; by the Wreckers so far. {{storylink|Betrayal}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon landing on the frozen planet, Rodimus was part of the search party immediately dispatched to look for... something.  Primal Prime wasn&#039;t too specific. They came across [[Al-Badur]], an exiled [[Quintesson]], who gave them a little history lesson. They were then promptly attacked by a school of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]], but the Wreckers made short work of them. They made their way back to the ship, with Al-Badur in tow, and made for their next destination...  {{storylink|Disclosure}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Sentinelcryotekwreckersfinale.jpg|left|thumb|300px|If Optimus can die, so can I!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...Cybertron. As Primal Prime took some Wreckers after their true foe, [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]], Rodimus tried to get their injured to a safe place. Unfortunately, the planet was under a full scale Quintesson invasion, and some anti-aircraft fire inevitably clipped the ship and sent them plummeting downwards. After they made it to safe ground, Rodimus and the crew hooked up with his fellow [[Matrix Templar]], [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], and followed his insight to the battle. They confronted Cryotek&#039;s underling, Cyclonus, and his purloined squad of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]]s. With casualties mounting on both sides, Cyclonus beat a safe retreat, collapsing the tunnel behind him to prevent pursuit. Rodimus was quick enough to dive through the falling debris, however, leaving the two old enemies alone to do battle. Centuries of bad blood carried them through the conflict, until both drew their weapons at point blank range, and fired. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horribly damaged by this last attack, Rodimus struggled to keep up with the other Wreckers and the running conflict between [[Sentinel Maximus]] and Cryotek. The fighting came to an end at a Quintesson banishing chamber, where the treacherous Al-Badur had attempted to toss Sentinel and Cryotek into a formless void. The two warriors were trapped behind an energy dome, barely able to fight off the portal&#039;s pull using their flight systems. Once [[Fractyl]] pointed out that Cryotek was empowered by the Divine Light, a fraction of Primus&#039;s own power, Rodimus realized that as Matrix Templars he and Cheetor could drain that power away from the Predacon. They managed to extract most of it before Cryotek cut off their siphoning effect. In the end, Sentinel Maximus sacrificed himself to pull Cryotek into the void with him. Rodimus finally expired from his wounds from fighting Cyclonus, quietly passing on into the Matrix. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}&lt;br /&gt;

Hot Rod was one of [[Teletran 3]]&#039;s unfortunate victims when the computer malfunctioned and transported a random number of Transformers to random points in Earth&#039;s timeline. Along with [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], Hot Rod ended up in mid-1970&#039;s [[San Francisco]], where he was locked into the form of a Ford Mustang muscle car. The dormant Autobot was soon stolen by a car thief, but was chased down by a group of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joes]] and [[Cobra]] members sent to retrieve the Transformers. Discovering [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] in the process, the humans equipped both vehicles with [[disruption unit]] that awakened the Transformers and sent them back to present-day Cybertron seconds after Hot Rod commented about feeling &amp;quot;really weird.&amp;quot; {{storylink|G.I.

&lt;br /&gt;
Some time after his time travel adventure, Hot Rod reported to Optimus Prime that [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]&#039;s team on Earth had been sidetracked by a Cobra attack. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2|The Art of War #2}} When said team ended up disappearing in Cybertron&#039;s [[Gladiator Zone]], Hot Rod convinced Optimus to stay behind and take care of an Autobot peace ceremony instead of going out and searching for them. Hot Rod then assembled his own search party, but they failed to find the missing Autobots. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} Unfortunately, [[Serpent O.R.]]&#039;s forces attacked the peace ceremony and captured Optimus Prime, leading to Hot Rod assembling a new team intent on rescuing him. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}} They fought Serpent O.R.&#039;s Decepticon army together with reinforcements from G.I. Joe, and during the battle, Hot Rod paused in horror as he saw the light of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] being opened inside the Decepticon base. The Decepticon army eventually defeated, and by the time Hot Rod reached inside their base, Serpent O.R. had been killed as well. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #6}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few months later, Hot Rod questioned Optimus Prime&#039;s choice to go to Earth again, accusing his leader of feeling guilty about [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]&#039;s death at Serpent O.R.&#039;s hands and doing everything by himself just to prevent more people from dying. Prime just looked at him sadly before leaving, causing Ultra Magnus to tell Hot Rod that he really needed to learn when to stop talking. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2|Black Horizon, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:SpotlightHotRod rush.jpg|right|180px|thumb|WHEEEEEEE! AWESOME! TUBULAR! COWABUNGA! REAGANOMICS!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Years ago, Hot Rod was put in charge of a mission to the planet Ki-Aleta to obtain a powerful artifact named the [[Magnificence]] so as to keep it out of the hands of the Decepticons.  The mission started off smoothly enough, with [[Gizmo]] using a [[holomatter]] generator to distract the defense systems while the rest of the team went after the Magnificence.  Unfortunately, after that everything that could go wrong did go wrong.  First, the generator malfunctioned, then [[Download]] tripped the security lasers around the Magnificence itself.  Gizmo, Download, and [[Backbeat]] were destroyed by the security systems while Hot Rod and [[Doubledealer|Dealer]] fled.  Hot Rod, nearing the exit tunnels they had previously drilled, got a call from Dealer—he had been ambushed by a Decepticon attack squad and needed help.  Unfortunately, Hot Rod had been given his own, top secret orders: the Magnificence was to be the top priority of the mission, and placed before all else.  With a heavy heart, Hot Rod abandoned Dealer to his fate as he left Ki-Aleta with the Magnificence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Years later, Hot Rod learned that Dealer had not died that day; he was being held prisoner at the Decepticon penal colony known as [[Styx]].  Hot Rod stealthily infiltrated the prison complex, using a holomatter generator to disguise himself as a guard and then short-circuiting the power grid to cause all the cell doors to unlock.  During the chaos he snuck in, extracted Dealer, and took off while the Decepticons were busy getting the prisoners under control.  {{storylink|Spotlight: Hot Rod}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Escalation6 HotRod Koska.jpg|left|170px|thumb|Mine!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, Hot Rod was called to [[Earth]] to aid the crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Ark-19]]&#039;&#039; in procuring a Decepticon [[Facsimile Construct]] from [[Brasnya]], a former Soviet state in eastern Europe.  {{storylink|Escalation issue 3|Escalation #3}} He and [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] went down to Earth from the &#039;&#039;[[Ark-32]]&#039;&#039; against [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]]&#039;s wishes, and proceeded to join the battle unannounced. As Hardhead went to support the main battle, Hot Rod went after the facsimile... which led to him colliding with [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] as they both tried to stop the [[Georgi Koska]] facsimile from letting himself get gunned down by Soviet soldiers.  {{storylink|Escalation issue 4|Escalation #4}} Prowl and Hot Rod managed to defuse the situation and secure the facsimile in the end  {{storylink|Escalation issue 5|Escalation #5}}, but before he could return to his ship he was attacked by [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], unable to defend himself because he had to keep the facsimile alive. After returning to the &#039;&#039;Ark-32&#039;&#039;, he had to be put in a [[CR chamber]] to recover. His injuries were for nothing, as the facsimile melted during the bounce.  {{storylink|Escalation issue 6|Escalation #6}}&lt;br /&gt;

After Hot Rod was repaired and reformatted into a Dodge Viper, his &amp;quot;friend&amp;quot; Dealer tried to convince him to pull some strings to get him to Earth, but Hot Rod and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] had the more important task of rescuing [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]].  {{storylink|Devastation issue 1|Devastation #1}} They ran into a bit of trouble with the [[Machination]]&#039;s [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]].  {{storylink|Devastation issue 2|Devastation #2}} They managed to escape temporarily, but were found and Wheeljack was incapacitated. Hot Rod easily held his own with the Headmasters  {{storylink|Devastation issue 5|Devastation #5}}, and noted that for [[Sunstreaker (G1)|some]] [[Hunter O&#039;Nion|reason]] they had lost their &amp;quot;edge&amp;quot;. He received a little help from Hardhead, who was mainly there to take Hot Rod and the others back to the &#039;&#039;Ark-32&#039;&#039; for evacuation to [[Garrus-9]]. Hot Rod refused to go, wanting to see the Headmaster mystery through to the end. Hardhead reluctantly let him go.  {{storylink|Devastation issue 6|Devastation #6}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SPDHotRodM.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Oh, Magic 8-Ball, will I ever be Prime in this continuity?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod&#039;s search was interrupted by Dealer&#039;s arrival on Earth, with orders for Hot Rod: find the Magnificence and use it to learn what they could about the Expansion. Hot Rod took Dealer to his hiding spot, which turned out to be the planet where they first found the device. As Dealer and Hot Rod closed on the Magnificence, he went over his first visit to the planet in his mind, and how things could have gone so wrong. Eventually he began to have suspicions, and upon locating the Magnificence, asked it the question that haunted him: had Dealer betrayed him? Sadly, it revealed the truth, and Hot Rod was forced to kill Dealer as the traitor attacked. Looking down on his remains, Hot Rod realized the truth had been staring him in the face, he just hadn&#039;t wanted to accept it. He then used the Magnificence to find out all he could about the Expansion, and relayed the information to the Autobots.  {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:HotRodMaxDino02.jpg|right|200px|thumb|You&#039;re not fooling anyone, [[Judd Nelson| Bender]].  The next screw that falls out will be YOU.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Earth to continue his search, Hot Rod arrived at the gates of the Machination&#039;s complex, and Scorponok prepared himself to deal with the intruder. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 1|Maximum Dinobots #1}} Unfortunately, Hot Rod found himself fighting well out of his weight class as he was man handled by Scorponok, who cheerfully bashed his face in, put out one of his optics and snapped his leg. The Headmasters dragged him into Scorponok&#039;s control room where, with absolutely no prompting, the big man explained his entire plan for the Dynobots, Skywatch and the Machination. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 2|Maximum Dinobots #2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod seemed less than impressed with this rather mundane approach, which ticked Scorponok off enough for him to point out that it was obviously just the first stage in his master plan. He was also warned to remained awed or he&#039;d be of no further interest. When the Dynobots and newly-arrived [[Monsterbot]]s seemed to turn Scorponok&#039;s plan on its head, Hot Rod burst out laughing, at which point, Scorponok ordered him taken out and shot. In the lift to the surface, Hot Rod suddenly erupted in flames, killing his captors, but draining his power supply. Weakened and with a crippled leg, he collapsed on the floor.  {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 3|Maximum Dinobots #3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He made it out of the building and ran into the real Sunstreaker, who blasted the 2 clones following Hot Rod. Sunstreaker ignored Hot Rod&#039;s warning about Scorponok&#039;s army and stormed into the building so Hot Rod painfully wired himself to send a distress signal.  When Sunstreaker&#039;s real head was later disabled by Hunter, the Headmaster clones shut down, which Hot Rod explained to [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]].  The group was surprised by the arrival of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], but [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] had heard Hot Rod&#039;s distress call and was on his way to Earth.  {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 4|Maximum Dinobots #4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Scorponok knocked out [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] and Grimlock tended to him, the remaining Dynobots offered Hot Rod a lift aboard the Monsterbots&#039; ship. He refused though, and made it back into Machination HQ to take care of something &amp;quot;personal&amp;quot;.  He eventually found Scorponok&#039;s real head (and remarked how ugly it was).  Hunter also showed up and let Hot Rod know how to disable it, but before he could do so, Scorponok grabbed him.  Before Scorponok could crush Hot Rod&#039;s head, the Dynobots showed up and began to battle Scorponok.  Hot Rod told [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] which wires to sever, and he did just that, reducing Scorponok to a catatonic state. Ultra Magnus arrived took everyone back aboard his ship, which later docked with the &#039;&#039;Ark-32&#039;&#039;.  Within 3 days, Hot Rod was fully repaired, with a new body form design. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 5|Maximum Dinobots #5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time later, while traveling through space by himself, Hot Rod found himself under attack by the &#039;&#039;[[Torment]]&#039;&#039;, a Decepticon warship crewed by [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and the [[Pretender Monster]]s. He was shot down, but managed to transmit a distress call to the Autobot starship &#039;&#039;[[Trion]]&#039;&#039;, which came to his rescue. After the Decepticons were chased off, Hot Rod joined the crew of the &#039;&#039;Trion&#039;&#039;. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 15|Lost &amp;amp; Found}}&lt;br /&gt;

When the Decepticons&#039; galaxy-wide assault hit, the &#039;&#039;Trion&#039;&#039; was shot down over Cybertron. Hot Rod sent out a distress signal and was ecstatic when he ran into some other Autobots. They must&#039;ve come specifically to save his team and... wait, why do you all look surprised about my signal and appear beaten up and resourceless and... &#039;&#039;oh arsebiscuits&#039;&#039;!  {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 4|All Hail Megatron #4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod was taken back to base and relayed the story of how he and his other crew-mates from the &#039;&#039;Trion&#039;&#039; arrived on Cybertron, having been diverted there by Decepticon ships and forced to crash land.  Once on the surface, Hot Rod sent out his distress signal and was &#039;&#039;so&#039;&#039; sure someone heard it.  Kup arrived with the rest of the &#039;&#039;Trion&#039;&#039;&#039;s crew at that point, just in time to tell Hot Rod &#039;&#039;of course&#039;&#039; no one heard his message.  {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 5|All Hail Megatron #5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Autobots narrowly avoided the [[Insecticon swarm]] and Sunstreaker sacrificed himself, Hot Rod jumped to [[Drift (G1)|Drift]]&#039;s defense when he was being insulted by [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 9|All Hail Megatron #9}}  When the Autobots were later rescued by [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], Hot Rod was glad that he sent out the distress call.  He was then ferried to Earth with the other Autobots aboard Omega.  {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Ongoing issue 1-Hot Rod has had enough.jpg|right|thumb|150px|&amp;quot;Don&#039;t talk to me about stuck, Hot Rod, you&#039;re the one with that horrible sneer stuck on your face!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
For the next two years, the Autobots would remain on Earth as Prime feared the return of the Decepticons. Unfortunately, this lead to the capture of a number of Autobots by Skywatch, including [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]], [[Gears (G1)|Gears]] and Prowl. Hot Rod, already frustrated, lashed out at Optimus, accusing him of keeping the Autobots on the planet because he needed someone to protect and demanding he be allowed lead a team to rescue Prowl. An admonished Prime agreed to a covert operation, but with Ironhide along to watch over things. While Prowl was freed, it turned out the humans had used him as bait to draw the other Autobots in. However Wheeljack&#039;s new shielding protected Hot Rod&#039;s team from Skywatch&#039;s inhibitors and in a panic the soldiers switched to lethal measures. Hot Rod was targeted and Ironhide was killed protecting him. An enraged Hot Rod turned on the humans, damaging their equipment and machinery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After returning with Ironhide&#039;s body, Hot Rod was shocked as Optimus Prime resigned his position as leader. {{storylink|...For All Mankind}} Disgusted with Prime&#039;s decision and unimpressed with the undecisiveness of the others, Hot Rod and several of his comrades took off on their own. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His team later encountered a group of Decepticons led by [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and after a short skirmish agreed to join forces in order to leave Earth. {{storylink|New Arrivals, Old Encounters}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotrodface.jpg|right|thumb|100px|Hot Rod]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:FFOD3 Rodimus in light.jpg|right|thumb|100px|Rodimus Prime]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime look very similar in fiction, but there are ways to distinguish them by sight.&lt;br /&gt;
**Rodimus Prime&#039;s [[character model]] has extra lines on his face that go from the bottom of his nose and connect to another line forming a triangle shape. Hot Rod&#039;s cheeks are more clear and youthful.&lt;br /&gt;
**Despite their toys being the same color of red, the cartoon series rendered Hot Rod as magenta, and Rodimus a dark shade of burgundy (the movie, however, made Rodimus the same color as Hot Rod).&lt;br /&gt;
**In the comics, Hot Rod was also colored magenta (almost &#039;&#039;entirely&#039;&#039; so), while Rodimus was colored in the reds, oranges and yellows of his toy. Future comics and toys would ignore any differences in color between the character&#039;s two forms, presenting them both in the original toy colors (see the image at the head of the article for a good example).&lt;br /&gt;
**The Japanese &#039;&#039;[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]&#039;&#039; cartoon, in addition to featuring the coloration differences of the Generation 1 cartoon, also added some extra lines around the perimeter of Rodimus&#039;s eyes to further distinguish him from Hot Rod. These odd-looking lines appeared only intermittently, thankfully so—they made Rodimus look like he was wearing robo-mascara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;, Hot Rod does not transform the same way twice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Rodimus Prime&#039;s toy followed the model set by Optimus Prime before him by having a trailer that disconnected and transformed into a battle station (in this case, called the &amp;quot;[[Mobile Defense Bay]]&amp;quot;). Unlike Prime&#039;s [[Combat Deck]], however, Rodimus&#039;s Defense Bay failed to make the leap to fiction, with the cartoon simply depicting his trailer as somewhat unfeasibly folding up into his legs and body &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.allspark.com/content/stories/tfpulp/8704TVM/k.gif Image of Rodimus Prime&#039;s animated transformation scheme from TV Magazine]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (barring a few animation errors that depicted it as a separate unit). This transformation scheme was realized in toy form with Rodimus&#039;s 6&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;[[Titanium Series]]&#039;&#039; action figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Voice actor Ted Schwartz was originally cast to succeed Judd Nelson as the voice of Rodimus Prime for the third season of the animated series, but was subsequently replaced by [[Dick Gautier]]. Before his replacement, however, Schwartz recorded Rodimus&#039;s lines for several episodes (most likely all five parts of &amp;quot;[[Five Faces of Darkness]]&amp;quot;), and although Gautier re-recorded the dialogue, technical oversight led to some of Schwartz&#039;s readings making it into the finished episodes. He can be heard delivering all of Rodimus&#039;s lines in the recap for [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1|part 1]] that plays at the beginning of [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2|part 2]], and speaking one line during the scene on [[Goo]] in [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3|part 3]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hot Rod might be the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; character with the most names in the US.  From &amp;quot;Hot Rod&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Rodimus Prime&amp;quot;, to &amp;quot;Rodimus Major&amp;quot; to just plain &amp;quot;Rodimus&amp;quot;.  Varieties of &amp;quot;Rodimus&amp;quot; appear to be how he will be for a while, as Hasbro appears to be unable to secure the [[trademark]] on &amp;quot;Hot Rod&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]]&#039;s powered up form has a color scheme which resembles Hot Rod&#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Aside from the &#039;&#039;[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]&#039;&#039; [[Rodimus (Energon)|namesake character]], Hot Rod has also been [[Homage|homaged]] twice (or possibly thrice depending on how you look at it) in the [[Unicron Trilogy]].  For &#039;&#039;[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]&#039;&#039;, the &amp;quot;[[Powerlinx]]&amp;quot; upgrade of [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] was given a very Hot-Rod-inspired deco.  In &#039;&#039;[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] made a redeco of Hot Shot (well, &amp;quot;Exillion&amp;quot;), who already had some Hot Rod homage elements in his toy design, with Hot Rod deco as a DVD-pack-in [[exclusive]].  [[Hasbro]] then took this deco, altered it, and released it in the US line at mass retail as the new character [[Excellion]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One of the first concepts for Classics Rodimus was based around the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagani_Zonda Pagani Zonda] super car, before the [http://www.supercarnet.jp/File/File-Japan/File-Dome.htm Dome Zero] design was decided upon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* At [[BotCon 2002]], Dick Gautier &amp;quot;confirmed&amp;quot;, jokingly, that Rodimus Prime is gay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This Rodimus Prime, along with the original [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], and [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] makes a cameo appearance as one of the four elders who began the [[Space Bridge]] project in the &#039;&#039;[[Cybertron (cartoon)|Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; episode [[Balance]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Hot Rod is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. He has also been known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Rodimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Rodimus&#039;&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;&#039;Rodimus Major&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:DVDbox3d1.jpg|right|301px|thumb|And yet he still gets carded.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Hot Rod&#039;&#039;&#039; is brash and headstrong, with an overwhelming self-confidence that borders on arrogance.  [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] has assumed the role of mentor and advisor to the impetuous young Hot Rod, offering him wisdom and advice when he needs it (though Hot Rod rarely feels that he does, much to Kup&#039;s annoyance). [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] also serves as a calming influence on Hot Rod, and tends to either worry about him when he is not around, or deride and tease him when he is. Their relationship is antagonistic, but friendly. Exactly how deep Hot Rod&#039;s feelings for Arcee might run is unknown, whether they be friendly, [[Transformer romance|romantic]], or otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In contrast, his &#039;&#039;&#039;Rodimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; persona—while still headstrong and stubborn—seems to suffer from a severe lack of confidence, often doubting his own decisions and expressing distress over his position as an [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]]. Of course, much of this comes from having immediately succeeded [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] as commander—and let&#039;s face it, shoes-to-be-filled just don&#039;t &#039;&#039;get&#039;&#039; much bigger than that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One thing that both sides of this Autobot&#039;s identity have in common is their impatience—neither Hot Rod nor Rodimus Prime can stand to wait around when they could be doing something instead. He is also very self-reliant, rarely sending others to do anything when he could be doing it himself. His [[Targetmaster]] partner is [[Firebolt]]. As Rodimus Prime, his vehicle sometimes splits between his robot and [[Mobile Defense Bay]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also loves the cold. Big time!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the year 2001, Hot Rod was on guard duty at the construction site of [[Autobot City]] on [[Earth]] while the main Autobot forces were evacuating from the Decepticon-conquered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. As he was complained about his boring assignment to [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], the Decepticon [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] struck, intent on stealing the [[Matrix of Leadership|Autobot Matrix of Leadership]] which Optimus Prime had secreted in a bunker at the building site. When he reclaimed the Matrix, Hot Rod received a vision of the future where he fought [[Galvatron (G1)|a powerful Decepticon]]. After returning the Matrix to Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader considered that perhaps Hot Rod&#039;s destiny was greater than any of them realized. Kup thought differently, however.  {{storylink|The Transformers (Madman)|The Transformers}}&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Voice actors:&#039;&#039; [[Judd Nelson]] → [[Ted Schwartz]] → [[Dick Gautier]] (English), [[Hiroya Ishimaru]] (Japanese, &#039;&#039;Transformers 2010&#039;&#039;), [[Takase Akimitsu]] (Japanese, &#039;&#039;The Rebirth&#039;&#039;), [[Daniel Gall]] (French, Movie)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:HotRodFishing1.jpg|right|200px|thumb|&amp;quot;I&#039;m tellin&#039; you, Daniel, you HAD to kiss me to activate my fishing rod. STOP crying!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005, Hot Rod was one of the many Autobots based in the completed Autobot City. He was close friends with the young human [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] and seemed to have a reputation for being something of a troublemaker, judging from a few of Kup&#039;s comments to him at the time. Realizing that the Decepticons were invading, Hot Rod opened fire on their stolen shuttle and exposed their ruse before Megatron could enter the city. Although this did give the rest of the Autobots time to begin transforming Autobot City and raising their defenses, it also left Hot Rod trapped outside with Kup and Daniel. After defeating the Decepticons [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] and [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] with some help from Kup, Hot Rod managed to find a way inside the fortress city and took part in its defense. During [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime&#039;s]] battle with [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], Hot Rod intervened in an attempt to help, but succeeded only in giving Megatron the chance he needed to wound the Autobot leader mortally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Prime&#039;s death, Autobot City was attacked again—by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. While escaping, Hot Rod and Kup (and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]) were separated from the rest of the Autobots and crashed on the planet [[Quintessa]]. There, Hot Rod met the Quintessons, an enemy who would haunt him for some time to come. After escaping their sadistic trial and attempted execution (as well as meeting [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]), Hot Rod went on to the planet [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]], where he was just in time to stop [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] from destroying the rest of the Autobot City refugees with a timely use of the [[Universal greeting]]. Together, they all traveled to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to stop [[Unicron]] before he could eat more than just its moons. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RodimusPrimeMovie1.jpg|left|200px|thumb|&amp;quot;Stop putting in captions that are just blatantly not funny!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Inside of Unicron, Hot Rod was separated from the rest of his team when their ship crashed (something which happens to Hot Rod a lot). Alone, he found himself facing Galvatron in a battle to the death over the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Claiming the Matrix, Hot Rod [[Renaming|evolved into]] &amp;quot;Rodimus Prime&amp;quot;, an older, larger, and more powerful version of himself. After overpowering Galvatron and hurling him through Unicron&#039;s hide into the void of space, he opened the Matrix and destroyed Unicron from within. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peace reigned on Cybertron for at least long enough to put up some of the more important buildings, and Rodimus Prime began to ease into his role as the new Autobot leader. He even opened the first [[Galactic Olympics]], although the event was disrupted by mysterious assailants who kidnapped [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], Kup and Spike Witwicky. In an attempt to discover if the Decepticons were responsible, Rodimus took [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] to spy on them, but the pair were discovered and attacked. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} The two Autobots were rescued by Arcee and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], but Rodimus had been injured in the attack, and his spirit entered the Matrix. The experience revealed to him that the Quintessons were behind the kidnapping. With this knowledge, the Autobots rescued their fellows from Quintessa, just as the Quintessons destroyed the planet. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:FFOD3 Rodimus in light.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Using the matrix gives you wrinkles.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots were flung through space, eventually crashing down on the planet [[Goo]].  After Springer&#039;s dismemberment at the hands of a giant machine, Rodimus faced the machine alone, clogging its intakes and causing it to crash.  Their troubles weren&#039;t over, as the Quintesson-led Decepticon army soon showed up to renew hostilities. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}}  Rescued by the Junkions, the Autobots were taken to Junk, where Rodimus short-circuited himself in order to consult the Matrix once again.  The knowledge of [[Transformer]] history and their creation at the hands of the Quintessons was revealed to him, leading him to realise that Cybertron was in deadly danger. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to Cybertron, Rodimus lead the defence of the planet against Galvatron&#039;s strike force.  It wasn&#039;t until [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]&#039;s warning that the true nature of the threat was revealed: a [[large switch|switch]] deep under the planet&#039;s surface which controlled the life force of every Transformer in existence.  Although Rodimus headed off the contingent of Sharkticons who aimed to pull the switch, Galvatron himself pulled it, disabling all of the Transformers.  Fortunately, Spike was on hand to turn them all back on again.  After Galvatron was sent into retreat, Rodimus gave a speech to the Autobots about how they had won...for now. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RodimusMatrix.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Here&#039;s the Matrix, Optimus. I mean, it&#039;s not like this is a trap or anything!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout 2006, Rodimus Prime&#039;s greatest achievements revolved around his predecessor, Optimus Prime. While fleeing from a Decepticon attack, Rodimus and several other Autobots took refuge in a massive [[Autobot Mausoleum]] and discovered that their former leader seemed to have returned to life. Perhaps a little too trusting of Optimus (and possibly eager to relieve himself of the burden of leadership), Rodimus quickly passed the Matrix back to Optimus and, much to his glee, reverted back into Hot Rod. His happiness was short-lived, however, as Optimus was quickly revealed to be nothing more than a puppet of the Quintessons, sent to trick the Autobots into an ambush from which none of them would escape. With no other choice, Hot Rod was forced to do battle with Optimus Prime for the fate of the Autobots. Although their duel was clearly in the favor of the more powerful Optimus, Hot Rod was able to re-awaken the true spirit of his leader. Returning the Matrix to Rodimus, Optimus then piloted his ship into the heart of the ambush and sacrificed himself to save them all. {{storylink|Dark Awakening}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon after Perceptor left on a standard research mission to a nearby asteroid belt, Rodimus Prime and the Autobots received a distress call from the survey group. They arrived to find the asteroid infested with Quintessons, but managed to drive off the tentacled freaks and their Sharkticon shock troops. Perceptor was near deactivation due to injuries, however, and the rest of the Autobots were nowhere to be seen. The Quints attempted to retake the asteroid but, after failing, were soon desperate enough to tell the truth: Their technology on the rock was a [[Time Window]], and leaving it open was risking the fates of all time and space. With the help of the Quintesson scientist and a [[Alpha Trion (G1)|mysterious stranger with a devilish moustache]], Rodimus Prime retrieved his lost Autobots and shut down the time window. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Fightorflee Rodimus explosion.jpg|right|thumb|250px|He just needs a cigarette.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots learned of a lost Cybertronian colony known as [[Paradron]] after one of its citizens, [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]], arrived on Cybertron begging for help. It seemed that Galvatron and the Decepticons had seized control over the planet and its vast energon reserves. Rodimus Prime and the Autobots staged a tactical infiltration, but the escalation of violence between the two forces led to total devastation. Rodimus gave the pacifistic Autobots of Paradron his impassioned &amp;quot;Move it or lose it!&amp;quot; speech before hustling them off-world so that Ultra Magnus could blow up their home. As Sandstorm sat there mourning the loss of his world, Rodimus Prime gave him some solemn advice.&lt;br /&gt;
{{bigquote|Well, no need to get all mushy. Cybertron&#039;s a better place anyway—not so...perfect.|}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{storylink|Fight or Flee}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus and the Autobots were stumped when someone carried off [[Fort Knox]] in the middle of the night. They detected [[Dinosaur transform static]] at the scene (seriously), found a small pile of [[Energon cube|energon cubes]], and had just been informed by [[Teletraan II]] that Trypticon was still alive. It was a head-scratcher, all right. They eventually figured it out, though, and sieged the occupied nation of [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]] to chase the Decepticons away, then recovered Fort Knox and the other monuments Trypticon had stolen. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the freelance agent named [[Octane]] was being kidnapped right off of Cybertron&#039;s surface by Cyclonus and the Sweeps, Rodimus Prime and the Autobots stormed out to save their associate. Things were more complicated than they looked, however, as when Rodimus confronted Cyclonus, the Decepticon lieutenant spoke with [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]&#039;s voice! For some reason, learning Starscream was involved made Rodimus willing to let the Decepticons go. Crazy as it sounds, though, it worked—Starscream and Octane managed to lure Galvatron into an Autobot ambush. Rodimus Prime gave a friendly wave to Starscream for a job well done as he departed. &#039;&#039;Zuh&#039;&#039;? {{storylink|Starscream&#039;s Ghost}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While preparing for the first annual Cybertron peace conference, Rodimus Prime got together with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] to prepare a surprise party for Danny. They were interrupted by a [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] attack, as the Decepticons wanted to prevent the conference from occurring. The Combaticons were driven off, however, and only minor damage was done. {{storylink|Surprise Party}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During a diplomatic function, Rodimus Prime was forced to play statesman and deal with Ambassador [[Ynara]] and the other delegates. Curiously, when Daniel Witwicky went missing and Rodimus had an excuse to duck out of the &amp;quot;festivities&amp;quot;, he chose to delegate the search mission to Ultra Magnus and Blaster. Perhaps the normally action-hungry Rodimus Prime was actually becoming more accepting of his leadership duties. {{storylink|Madman&#039;s Paradise}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Daniel Witwicky began experiencing recurring nightmares, Rodimus never dreamed he would have to face those nightmares personally. The Quintessons&#039; latest experiment was to turn the young boy&#039;s imagination against his Autobot friends. Danny&#039;s own subconscious fought against the Quintessons&#039; manipulations, though, and helped the Autobots save themselves. After that experience, Rodimus Prime stayed by Danny&#039;s bedside until he conquered his fears and ended the nightmares. {{storylink|Nightmare Planet}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cybertron was put on high alert after [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] broke into Metroplex on Earth, stealing his eyes and blowing up a bomb in his brain. Rodimus and the Autobots were eventually able to suss out that Scourge was working with the ghost of Starscream, and they in turn were acquiring those eyes for Unicron. Rodimus put together a strike team and sent Ultra Magnus, Springer, [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] to Unicron to investigate, but they were repulsed by the Chaos-Bringer&#039;s defenses. Their second mission was more successful, detonating a series of explosives underneath Unicron once he came down to Cybertron, intent on connecting himself to the planet and turning it into his new body. After Unicron was successfully blasted back into orbit, Rodimus congratulated his men on a job well done. As a joke, he told Magnus and the others their next mission would be to return to the head of their Living Devil and retrieve his stolen eyes. That Roddy—he&#039;s hilarious.  {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus was dutifully overseeing some reconstruction work on Cybertron when [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] reported odd activity over the planet of Junk and among the Junkions themselves. He assembled a task force aboard [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] to take a look firsthand. [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] managed to neutralize the hypnotic signals influencing the Junkions, but the Autobots were unable to learn the cause of the whole situation. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At a galactic peace conference, Rodimus and Ultra Magnus attempted to end the centuries of war between the planets of [[Xetaxxis]] and [[Lanarq]]. They might as well have asked Galvatron, &amp;quot;Why you so &#039;&#039;crazy&#039;&#039;?&amp;quot; Every attempt at straight talk and reasonable discourse broke out into a brawl, fist-fighting and eventually laser fire. The two worlds only reached an accord once Blaster and Sky Lynx arrived with a Quintesson journal, detailing how the entire war between the two planets was a &amp;quot;case study&amp;quot; in escalation manipulated by the Quints to sell bigger and better armaments to both sides. {{storylink|The Quintesson Journal}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day, Rodimus Prime orchestrated the insertion of a new [[power core]] on Cybertron, designed by Perceptor to give the Autobots limitless free energy. Unfortunately, Perceptor also installed an emergency level to jettison the power core into space in the statistically impossible scenario that they would ever need to do such a wild, crazy thing. Sure enough, mere hours later, the power core was floating through space with a [[Trans-Organic]] [[Dweller|monster]] of Lovecraftian proportions latched to the outside of it. Rule of thumb: Installing any form of self-destruct switch increases the likelihood of needing said switch a billion percent. Encasing it behind glass adds another billion. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus Prime and the Autobots joined forces with the human police to help stop a domestic terrorist named [[Victor Drath]]. They grossly underestimated their opponent and were easily captured by Drath after he lured them to his residence with an anonymous phone call. Using some &amp;lt;strike&amp;gt;Cobra&amp;lt;/strike&amp;gt; mysterious technology, Drath siphoned the consciousnesses of Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, Springer and Arcee out of their bodies, inadvertently casting them into synthetic human forms. While trying to get back into Drath&#039;s headquarters, Rodimus and Springer were separated. Drath&#039;s girlfriend [[Michelle]] was intrigued enough by Rodimus&#039;s human form that she hid him from Drath&#039;s men. At least until after coffee...THEN she handed him over to Drath. Rodimus managed to overpower Drath and his men, and the villain&#039;s scheme was undone. Perceptor managed to reverse the process and restore the Autobots to their true forms. With one regretful look cast towards Michelle as she was led away by the police, Rodimus Prime rolled for home with the other Autobots. {{storylink|Only Human}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus Prime began to struggle with the burden of leadership again during a skirmish in Europe, where the Decepticons were working in conjunction with human terrorists. The pacifistic [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] chose to leave the Autobots after his refusal to fight cost Metroplex his transforming cog, and Rodimus chided himself for not having the words to convince the medic to stay. He was also unsettled by Galvatron&#039;s crowing about a new &amp;quot;[[Ultimate Weapon]]&amp;quot; which would bring the Autobots to their knees. Regardless of his internal strife, Rodimus continued the fight. He came up with a plan in which Spike and Daniel Witwicky posed as part of the (evil?) human repair crews working on Trypticon and liberated the Decepticon city-bot&#039;s transforming cog just as the &#039;Cons had taken Metroplex&#039;s. Rodimus and Ultra Magnus had to fight off Galvatron and the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]] in order to stall for time so that the Witwickys could complete their mission. Fortunately, the Stunticons had been off &amp;lt;strike&amp;gt;the shelves&amp;lt;/strike&amp;gt; the field for a while by this point, and so were utterly demolished by the two Autobots. Eventually, First Aid returned to the Autobots to finish repair work on the cog, and Rodimus ultimately called Galvatron&#039;s bluff and uncovered his &amp;quot;Ultimate Weapon&amp;quot; as the sham it was. These victories renewed Rodimus&#039;s confidence in his leadership abilities...until next time. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus and the Autobots arrived at the scene of a Quintesson quadrant lock as Galvatron was trying to claim it for himself. The Quintessons attempted to stop further investigation of the quadrant lock by casting the Transformers through a warp. Their encounter with the native [[Zamojin (species)|Zamojin]]s inside the lock was less than cordial, but the Autobots eventually managed to disable the quadrant lock and return starlight to the Zamojin people. {{storylink|The Face of the Nijika}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the unveiling of a new power generator, Rodimus Prime got frustrated at Grimlock&#039;s gross stupidity. Things only got worse when the Autobots discovered [[Anti-electron|anti-electrons]] being beamed out of the power generator and needed to negotiate the tunnels beneath Cybertron to reach the generator core...and Grimlock broke their only map. Luckily for Rodimus&#039;s sanity, Grimlock spontaneously developed super-intelligence after biting through the cables connecting the anti-electrons to the power generator. The Autobots then went on a mission to Unicron&#039;s head to prevent the Decepticons from recovering any more anti-electrons to use against them. They were nearly overwhelmed by the animalistic [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], but Grimlock constructed [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] and the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] as a counter-force against the bestial Decepticons. Rodimus and the others drove off the remaining Decepticons and restabilized the power generator for Cybertron&#039;s use. {{storylink|Grimlock&#039;s New Brain}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Earth&#039;s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], Rodimus Prime and the Autobots were engaged in trench warfare with the Decepticon for some vague but no doubt important reason. Rodimus demonstrated his keen tactical brilliance when the Decepticons attacked, suggesting the Autobots do the unexpected...and counter-attack. No, really—Galvatron seemed utterly amazed when they did that. However, the non-bestial Transformers on both sides were rendered lifeless when the energy-draining creature known as [[Tornedron]] attacked them while en route to Earth. When the threat was eliminated by Grimlock, Rodimus and the others came back to life without realising that anything had happened. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a particularly strenuous series of Decepticon attacks on Japan, Rodimus Prime was in no mood to be chewed out by the Japanese government for &amp;quot;not helping enough&amp;quot;. When [[Marissa Faireborn]] stopped by at just the wrong time with yet another problem, Rodimus blew her off and went racing on the back roads to let off some exhaust. Unfortunately, he was spotted by the Stunticons [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] and [[Wildrider]], who knocked him for a loop and (surprisingly) shook the Matrix of Leadership loose from his chest cavity. After the Stunticons made off with the Matrix, Rodimus woke up as Hot Rod. Shockingly to Springer and Ultra Magnus, Roddy was in no hurry to go after the thieves and recover the Matrix. His &#039;&#039;giri&#039;&#039; had become too burdensome, and Hot Rod was hardly interested in reclaiming the burden so soon. He returned to a dojo that had been upset by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] during the earlier attacks and observed the sensei and his pupils. After finding his center again, Hot Rod returned to the city, where the huntsman known as Scourge had been misusing the Matrix as a source of raw power to destroy everything around him. After a brief fight, Hot Rod reclaimed the Matrix from Scourge and became Rodimus Prime once more, accepting his path in life. Oh, and Kup was nodding sagely on the sidelines the entire time. Apparently, that helped somehow. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As it turned out, far from being destroyed, Optimus Prime had been retrieved by a team of human scientists who were hoping to use him (again) as a weapon against the Autobots—this time as the bearer of a malignant &amp;quot;[[Hate Plague]]&amp;quot; that would cause them to destroy one another. When he learned of this, Rodimus swiftly formed a rescue party and led them to retrieve Optimus&#039;s body so that their former leader could rest in peace. When all of the rest of the Autobots with him were exposed to the Hate Plague, only Rodimus was able to escape unharmed—and with the still-uninfected body of Optimus. Returning to Autobot City, Rodimus ordered [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky-Lynx]] to find a Quintesson to repair Optimus, then risked his life to shut down [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] before the Plague could spread to the titanic Autobot. Attacked by Ultra Magnus and Wreck-Gar in the process, he succumbed to the plague and became infected with hate. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} In order to stop the Plague, the resurrected Optimus had to defeat the crazed Rodimus and forcibly extract the Matrix from him, changing him back into Hot Rod once more. This time, as Optimus had decided to stick around, the change was a permanent one. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even after losing his position as Autobot leader, Hot Rod was not the sort to rest on his laurels. In 2007, he was among a group of Autobots who were caught in a blast from the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] and shot across the galaxy to the planet [[Nebulos]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} There, the Autobots fell in with a group of native rebels and aided them in opposing the tyrannical rule of the dictatorial [[Hive (G1)|Hive]]—a partnership that ultimately evolved into [[binary bonding]], the fusion of Transformer and Nebulan into [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] and [[Targetmaster|Targetmasters]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}} Hot Rod was linked to the Nebulan sharpshooter Firebolt and went on to aid in the defence of Cybertron as Galvatron attempted to use the Plasma Energy Chamber to destroy it. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

When Rodimus Prime hurled Galvatron into space at the conclusion of their battle within Unicron, he could not have predicted the tragic result of this action.  Galvatron crash-landed on Earth, on top of [[Tokyo]], [[Japan]], devastating the city and sparking off a massive anti-Transformer movement spearheaded by the [[Earth Defense Command]]. Horrified by what his actions had wrought, Rodimus gave up the Matrix to Ultra Magnus and reverted to Hot Rod once more, seeking a way to redeem himself for his unintentional misdeeds. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|A Big Catch Tonight?!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Kissplay3 hot rod tentacled.jpg|right|200px|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod returned to Earth in the year 2006, by which stage the planet had been scoured clean of Transformers by the E.D.C.. He was badly damaged by the [[anti-electron]] field that the E.D.C. had set up around the planet, and wound up falling out of the sky and crashing into the E.D.C.&#039;s headquarters, plunging through its levels into the subterranean chamber known as the [[Genital System]]. His explosive arrival interrupted a grotesque experiment involving former E.D.C. operative [[Shaoshao Li]] and the severed heads of several [[Legion]] (monstrous creatures created when Galvatron&#039;s cells, scattered by his impact, fused with Earthly creatures and machines). {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 2|Kiss Players #2}} The Legion attacked Hot Rod and began to [[ParasiTech|fuse]] with him, but a [[kiss]] from Shaoshao—one of the E.D.C.&#039;s [[Kiss Player]]s, also given fusing powers by Galvatron&#039;s cells—saved him, reformatting him into a Ford GT body. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 3|Kiss Players #3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Together with Shaoshao, Hot Rod went on the run, battling the E.D.C. and the Legion, while working to expose the evil intentions behind of Shaoshao&#039;s former employers. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #2}} Shaoshao, a longtime robot-hater, was not pleased about the partnership, disgusted by both the fact that she had to kiss Hot Rod {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #5}} and the Autobot&#039;s own smug self-confidence in his speed and sharpshooting skills. She insisted that he work hard on his martial arts training, but Rodimus preferred to simply use Shaoshao&#039;s own skills by fusing with her. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #8}} As part of his training, he learned to wield his tonfa weapons as guns, and embarked on a long-distance drive as a test of endurance. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #11}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Drawn to the E.D.C. headquarters by a massive Legion attack on the facility, Hot Rod and Shaoshao were shocked to see Optimus Prime at the head of the Legion swarm! Given that Prime had died the previous year, Hot Rod assumed he was facing an imposter and attacked, unaware that this was actually the genuine article, who had been brought back to life by the Kiss Player powers of Shaoshao&#039;s old friend, [[Marissa Faireborn]]. The battle was broken up and the Legions turned away by the E.D.C.&#039;s most powerful Kiss Player, [[Atari Hitotonari]], and Hot Rod and Shaoshao returned to their fugitive lifestyle. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 3|Kiss Players #3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:HotRodKP.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Flames on his arms and a naked girl in his tummy.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being on the lam, Hot Rod still had time for a little fishing now and then, (even though Shaoshao hated the fishy stench he would invariably return covered in) {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #17}} and even built himself a fishing pole that could transform into a set of blasters, dubbed the &amp;quot;Exhaust Rod&amp;quot;. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #20}} While Hot Rod was putting his new pole to use on a fishing trip to Tokyo Bay, he and Shaoshao were attacked by a mass of Legion and fused to fight back. It was during this latest fusion that Shaoshao glimpsed Hot Rod&#039;s memories and discovered that he was responsible for throwing Galvatron into space, and her fury caused the fusion to end quite violently. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|A Big Catch Tonight?!}} Despite Hot Rod&#039;s peace offering of new underwear (actually stolen from Marissa), {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #29}} Shaoshao concluded that she really didn&#039;t care about his guilt, and was just using him to win Marissa back from Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #26}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:KP002.jpg|right|thumb|200px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Investigating a large number of Legion that seemed to be converging on Tokyo, Hot Rod and Shaoshao spotted a dark-haired girl riding on the shoulder of one of the creatures. As they watched, she disappeared into the Legion, and they believed she may have been a Kiss Player, until Hot Rod realised that his scanners had not picked up any body heat from the girl. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #32}} As if this haunting experience was not bad enough, Hot Rod then began to suffer from nightmares, filled with images of Megatron, caused by the Galvatron cells that the Legion had added to his system when they had tried to fuse with him. Shaoshao exploited the increase in Rodimus&#039;s violent tendencies that these nightmares caused by whispering in the Autobot&#039;s ear as he slept, telling him that he had to kill the impostor Optimus Prime so she could have Marissa back. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #35}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Marissa and Prime led another army of Legions in another attack on the E.D.C. headquarters, Shaoshao and Hot Rod were again there to face them. The two Autobots were overcome by the destructive impulses of their Galvatron cells and began viciously fighting, but as they did so, Marissa and Shaoshao were able to settle their own differences and bring the battle to an end, vowing to discover the dark secret at the heart of the E.D.C.. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #37}} Together with Atari, the group ventured down into the Genital System, where they discovered a secret plot by E.D.C. commander [[Hitoshizuku Amaō]] to resurrect her dead daughter (the ghost girl Hot Rod and Shaoshao had seen) in Atari&#039;s body. Atari thwarted Amaō&#039;s fusion process, however, and instead caused all of the scattered Galvatron cells to be re-absorbed into the Decepticon leader&#039;s comatose body. Hot Rod destroyed the anti-electron field generator, and was then reverted back to normal as his Galvatron cells were drawn out of him and reconstituted within Galvatron&#039;s body, which Atari then flung into space. {{storylink|Kiss Players (radio drama)|You, I, and the Spinning Earth}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod went on his way, but did not take back the Matrix and leadership of the Autobots until the year 2010. It is unknown whether he ever discovered that the true instigators of the Tokyo incident were Unicron&#039;s minions, the [[Sparkbot]]s, who had altered Galvatron&#039;s trajectory.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus Prime faced numerous bizarre challenges in the year 2010, one of which involved Galvatron attempting to seize spaceships with his &#039;&#039;own&#039;&#039; spaceship that ate &#039;&#039;other&#039;&#039; spaceships.  Rodimus infiltrated the toothy craft in order to plant a bomb to destroy it.  Unfortunately, Galvatron trapped him inside and beat him senseless.  Rodimus was about to give up when the spirit of Optimus Prime spoke to him through the Matrix, urging him to fight on.  Rodimus snapped out of it and escaped through a hole created by Galvatron&#039;s cannon.  Before leaving, though, he dropped the bomb off in Cyclonus&#039; hands, detonating the ship.{{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During another adventure, Rodimus and his troops were taken under siege by a horde of Megatron clones calling themselves the [[Megatron Corps]].  The Megatron Corps made short work of Rodimus, leaving him to wonder how he could defeat a whole horde of the baddie, when Optimus Prime could barely deal with &#039;&#039;one&#039;&#039;.  Rodimus eventually realized that Galvatron was secretly controlling the clones and singled him out.  With Galvatron defeated, the Megatron Corps ceased to function.  {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not long after that, Galvatron attacked [[Autobot City]] on Earth with the power of [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]].  Though Trypticon was defeated by [[Six-Gun]], of all Autobots, Rodimus did not arrive on the scene until after the battle had ended.  Young blonde [[human]] girls squeeled at his hunkiness, though. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During another battle, he was forced to team with his arch-nemesis, Galvatron, to defeat the all-powerful [[Guiltaur]].  Guiltaur was a creation built by the [[Quintesson|Quintessons]] utilizing the powers of both Optimus Prime and Megatron.  Together, Rodimus and Galvatron defeated their foe (who it turned out was being controlled by the ghost of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]) and called off the truce.  {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After that, Rodimus lead the Autobots to the planet [[Feminia]] to protect it&#039;s [[Prime Energy Tower]] from Galvatron and the Decepticons.  The Autobots proved ineffectual against the might of [[Predaking]]...at least until the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibot]]s showed up to win the day. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5}}&lt;br /&gt;

After the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s rescued the scientist [[Doctor Dalton]] from the clutches of the Decepticons, Rodimus met with him to discuss upgrading the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus then watched on in horror as the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s made short work of the upgraded Technobots and nearly turned them into Decepticons with [[Cohesive Control Liquid]].  [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] managed to save the Technobots and send the Decepticons into retreat, swearing vengeance. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early in 2011, after having given up the Matrix of Leadership and reverted back to Hot Rod, he accompanied the newly resurrected Optimus Prime in a space battle against Galvatron and the Decepticons.  The Decepticons fled, and though Hot Rod wished to pursue them, Optimus ordered him the return to base, as the entire battle seemed fishy.  Indeed, it was all a distraction so that Galvatron could begin his ultimate invasion of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:DoubleConvoy1.jpg|left|200px|thumb|&amp;quot;Race ya to the Matrix!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Yer on!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
One year after the Hate Plague affair and the resurrection of Optimus Prime, Hot Rod maintained a high-level position among the Autobots as well as a new sense of duty and responsibility. Hot Rod was stationed on [[Athenia]] when the Decepticons, bolstered with the addition of new Headmaster warriors, attacked Cybertron in an attempt to take control of [[Vector Sigma]], which had become destabilized as a result of the Matrix&#039;s energy being released.  {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}}  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a group of Autobot Headmasters arrived to help, Optimus Prime broke off from the battle and ventured into Cybertron&#039;s depths, hoping to find a way to stabilize Vector Sigma. This, however, would require the sacrifice of his own life if attempted without the Matrix, which was hidden somewhere on Earth, recharging. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Hot Rod and the Autobot Headmasters searched the Matrix out and returned to Cybertron with it, where the spirit of [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] recharged its empty shell, transforming Hot Rod back into Rodimus Prime. Optimus and Rodimus defeated the Decepticons together, but Optimus still wound up sacrificing himself to stabilize Vector Sigma, leaving Rodimus Prime in command of the Autobots once again. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus Prime chose to oversee Autobot operations largely from Athenia, leaving Earth as Ultra Magnus and Metroplex&#039;s jurisdiction, and maintaining a relatively minor presence on Cybertron itself. One of his actions as returning leader was to oversee the resurrection of [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], who gave his life during the recent search for the Matrix. He had [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] employ [[Master (planet)|Master]] technology to revive the communications expert in a new body as [[Twincast]]. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}} After Fortress and the Headmasters ran into trouble on the planet [[Beest]], Rodimus Prime brought the [[Trainbot]]s and [[Monsterbot]]s with him as reinforcements to foil Galvatron&#039;s plans. {{storylink|Rebellion on Planet Beest}} He also oversaw the Autobots&#039; efforts to defeat a [[Metamorpho|gravity-warping meteorite]], and encouraged Daniel to be courageous enough to help the Autobots against the metal-sensitive menace. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day, Rodimus Prime accompanied Ultra Magnus to an energy research laboratory, where a new power source had supposedly been discovered. Upon arrival, however, they discovered the research team had been killed and no new power source existed. Reviewing the tape announcing the discovery, Rodimus realized the broadcasting scientist was actually under the control of [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]], and the whole trip was to get him out of the way so that Scorponok could set a trap for the Headmasters on [[Praum]]. Taking the Trainbots, Rodimus Prime arrived on Praum in time to help the Headmasters chase off Galvatron and their evil counterparts. {{storylink|The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery}} Rodimus Prime soon supervised the Autobots during a series of terrorist threats around the globe. He allowed [[Shoki]] and the Trainbots to take first crack at the robot threatening their homeland of Japan. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Vector Sigma created a new kind of super-metal known as [[Cybertonuron]], Rodimus Prime realized it would be a tempting target for the Decepticons. Sure enough, Galvatron soon launched an all-out attack on Cybertron to capture Vector Sigma and the Cybertonuron. Rodimus assembled a massive counterstrike force to transport to Cybertron, but Fortress cautioned that the whole ordeal thus far might be a trap. Rodimus recognized the possibility, but stated the idea of Galvatron controlling the Cybertonuron was too dangerous to risk. Rodimus Prime traveled to Cybertron himself aboard the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]], and engaged Galvatron in hand-to-hand combat. Tragically, Rodimus was soundly defeated by his old foe, and would have been helplessly executed by Galvatron if [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundblaster]] hadn&#039;t insisted on giving his leader an office memo Right. That. Minute. TPS reports wait for no &#039;bot. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} As the fighting continued to escalate, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] decided it was too dangerous to risk the Autobots keeping control of the Cybertonuron. He had Mindwipe and the Headmasters plant a series of bombs at Cybertron core, resulting in a massive planetary explosion, leaving Cybertron a burnt-out husk. Deciding that his time was over, and that newer, younger Transformers should take over, Rodimus passed leadership of the Autobots to [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]], and departed for space with Kup and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] to search for a new planet that the Transformers could make their own. Arcee asked if she could go, too, but Rodimus instructed her to stay behind to look after Daniel and Wheelie.  {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
With Optimus Prime dead yet again, Hot Rod returned to being Rodimus Prime and erected a statue of his fallen commander on Cybertron.  During the dedication, the Decepticons were spotted approaching the planet.  Rodimus dispatched the [[Headmasters of Justice]] to deal with the threat. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, the Decepticons made a second attempt to seize planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]] while the Autobot [[Beastformer]] leader, [[White Leo]], was away.  Rodimus Prime sent the Headmasters of Justice to Beast in order to drive back the invading Decepticons. {{storylink|Great Decisive Battle of Planet Beast!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his journey through space in search of a replacement homeworld for the Autobots, Rodimus faced many dangers and hardships, but was supported by the wisdom of the Matrix and the energy of the Earth that now coursed within it. Learning a new admiration for the human race and the planet Earth, he returned to Earth in the wake of the defeat of Scorponok, and reunited with the Autobots.  {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 8|The Headmasters issue 8}}&lt;br /&gt;

=====&#039;&#039;The Battlestars&#039;&#039;=====&lt;br /&gt;
It would be many years before Rodimus resurfaced. He eventually returned at the same time as Optimus Prime was resurrected as [[Optimus Prime (G1)#The Battlestars story pages and comic|Star Convoy]], and was shown to have reverted back into Hot Rod, and been converted into a [[Micromaster]]. As a Micromaster, Hot Rod took up residence in Star Convoy&#039;s chest, boosting his Supreme Commander&#039;s power.&lt;br /&gt;

During her travels through time and space, [[Teletraan 15]] encountered Micromaster Hot Rod, who rescued her from a strange mechanical monster, a [[Novaroid]].  Teletraan 15 noted that Hot Rod was considerably smaller than she remembered him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod asked if she was the one responsible for all the [[Transwarp]] travel and blamed her for the wormholes that were opening everywhere. Spotting a large wormhole opening, he transformed to vehicle mode and told her to climb inside, saying that something big was coming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Optimus Prime (G1)#The Battlestars story pages and comic|Star Convoy]] appeared and requested Hot Rod&#039;s assistance, telling him that [[Megatron (G1)|Ultra Megatron]] was fusing with [[Dark Nova]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Hot Rod said his farewells to Teletraan 15, he was suddenly struck by an immense blast from the wormhole overhead. The shadowy form of [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] descended from the rip in the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
15 leaped in front of Hot Rod to protect him, and was rewarded for her heroism by seeing her right arm torn off by the Decepticon&#039;s power. The severed arm gripped in his teeth, Galvatron throttled the much smaller Hot Rod. As [[Safety]] and [[Fly-Up]] of the [[Guard City]] team raced toward her, Teletraan 15 faded into unconsciousness, leaving Hot Rod&#039;s fate and the outcome of the battle unknown.  {{storylink|15 Go!

&#039;&#039;Several hundred years ago, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] dispatched Hot Rod and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] to search for habitable worlds. During this mission, the pair ran afoul of the [[Tyroxian]]s—unpleasant [[alien]]s who captured Blurr and pursued Hot Rod through space. While fleeing, Hot Rod crossed paths with the Autobot war veteran, Kup, living a nomadic existence wandering through space at the time, and the youth&#039;s bravado in attacking [[Tyroxia]] single-handed re-ignited Kup&#039;s fighting spirit. After saving Hot Rod and helping him to rescue Blurr, Kup joined the pair in returning to Cybertron.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Kup&#039;s Story!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:BrothersinArmor-Targetmasters.jpg|left|thumb|350px|I&#039;m important!  Just not right now.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod was among the contingent of Transformers who ultimately accompanied Fortress Maximus in abandoning the war on Cybertron for a new world, [[Nebulos]]. The Autobots&#039; arrival on the planet immediately stirred civil unrest, however, which led to the Decepticons being brought to the planet, and the war continuing on a smaller scale. Technological advancements developed during the conflict saw Nebulans being bio-engineered into [[Binary bonding|partnerships]] with the Transformers. Hot Rod became a Targetmaster, and was bonded to the Nebulan sharpshooter, Firebolt (aka Sparks), who transformed into his gun. Eventually, the Autobots determined to move their war away from Nebulos, and followed a signal sent by [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]], received by Hot Rod, to the planet [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod and the other Autobots of Nebulos were soon incorporated into the larger Autobot force on Earth, under the command of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]. On one occasion, Hot Rod and several Autobots accompanied Prime on what appeared to be a simple mission to stop some Decepticon [[Micromaster]]s from attacking MacDill Air Force Base. {{storylink|Back from the Dead}} In fact, the attack was part of a much larger scheme by the deposed Decepticon leader [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], luring Prime and his forces away from the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and setting them against his rival for Decepticon leadership, the mighty [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Once Prime realized the greater threat at issue, he ordered his troops to immediately take the [[Ark shuttlecraft|shuttle]] back to the Ark, but Hot Rod recklessly chose to stay behind at Optimus&#039;s side to face the Decepticons. {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}} He was therefore on-hand when the newly resurrected [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] arrived, and began tearing through all Transformers present, in the name of Megatron. He managed to take a shot at Starscream&#039;s new [[Pretender]] shell, causing enough neural feedback to temporarily weaken the Decepticon, and give Scorponok time to strike and end the threat. {{storylink|Skin Deep}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cost was still high, though, as Optimus Prime returned to the Ark and learned that his good friend, [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], had sacrificed himself to help stop Megatron&#039;s schemes. This sent the Autobot leader into a depression, and Hot Rod took it upon himself to snap Optimus out of it. He had the crazy scheme of creating a mock threat with a [[Guardian (Marvel)|Guardian Mark V battle droid]], with predictable results. The robot proceeded to &#039;&#039;actually&#039;&#039; malfunction and endanger the Autobots, but Hot Rod&#039;s plan worked when Prime eventually snapped out of his funk and defeated the droid to save the day. Hot Rod needed to find a replacement hand after the Guardian snapped it off, but hey, all&#039;s well that ends well. {{storylink|Yesterday&#039;s Heroes!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hoverscooter.jpg|right|thumb|250px|whoopeee]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod continued to operate with Earth&#039;s Autobot forces aboard the Ark, and was present during [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]&#039;s rampage through the shuttle bay. He took some damage, but remained functional enough to continue on, and was later seen speeding into the battle with Unicron himself on a [[hoverscooter]], {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} He was also one of many Autobots destroyed by the Decepticons on [[Klo]], only to be revived by the [[Last Autobot]]. {{storylink|End of the Road!

&lt;br /&gt;
At some unspecified point in time, Rodimus Prime defeated [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] in a battle inside [[Unicron]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an alternate future of 2006, Rodimus Prime was the leader of the Autobots, who were in control of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] reported suspicious activity on [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]], so Rodimus sent the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s to investigate. [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] was defeated in battle but was able to send back an SOS before going offline. Sky Lynx was dispatched to retrieve him, and Rodimus decided to investigate himself. He took [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] in [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once there, the Autobots discovered a chaotic scene where aliens from many worlds, including the Decepticons, had arrived and were all engaged in a deadly battle with one another. Rodimus was immediately attacked by a hypnotized [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], and the two battled to a standstill. The other Autobots were able to disrupt a hypnotic signal that was causing everyone to fight one another. The [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] then added their strength against the Decepticons, causing the latter to retreat. Rodimus didn&#039;t care where the hypnosis signal had been coming from, as long as it was off for good. He never discovered that it was the work of the [[Quintesson]]s. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (US)}}&lt;br /&gt;

In an alternate future timeline, Hot Rod arose to become Rodimus Prime. However, the planet-eater known as Unicron managed to destroy Cybertron, leaving Rodimus to lead a failed Autobot/human defense of Earth when [[Galvatron II|that timeline&#039;s Galvatron]] attacked and eventually conquered it. Rodimus perished during the conflict, and his body was strung up between the ruined towers of the World Trade Center. In the year 2009, Galvatron returned to Manhattan to survey its devastated landscape, and fired upon Rodimus&#039;s corpse, demanding to know how many times he would have to kill him to erase his legacy. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}}&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;Hot Rod rose to greater prominence in the alternate future timeline of [[Earth-120185]]. In 1990, he, Kup and Blurr were captured by Megatron; although rescued by a double-agent named [[Warmonger]], Hot Rod was recaptured and bore witness first hand to Megatron&#039;s mercilessness when he executed Warmonger. Then, in 1991, he was part of a unit that escorted the captive [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], only to lose the Decepticon leader when forced to defend a human settlement against an attack by the [[Air Strike Patrol]].&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}} &#039;&#039;On another occasion in 1995, Hot Rod was present when Optimus Prime first unveiled the female Autobot, Arcee, to [[Feminist mob|a dubious crowd of human feminists]]. Hot Rod was more than a little flustered by Arcee&#039;s presence on the battlefield.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Prime&#039;s Rib!}} &#039;&#039;In 2003, he and Blurr were given &amp;quot;Ark duty,&amp;quot; assigned to stand guard over the [[Ark (G1)|Autobots&#039; spaceship]] while construction on [[Autobot City]] began. Kup was apparently instructed to deliver the plans of the city to the American government, and when Hot Rod saw him being jumped by the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], he disobeyed orders and sped out to the rescue. The Stunticons brutally beat on Hot Rod and took the plans, but Hot Rod learned a hard lesson when Kup informed him that it was meant to happen that way because the plans were a fake.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Ark Duty}} &#039;&#039;When the city was completed in 2004, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] attacked it on its opening day, and Hot Rod repelled him by attacking in a wildly illogical manner, tackling him down a mountain repeatedly.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}} &#039;&#039;Also, at some unknown point in the past, Hot Rod&#039;s Targetmaster partner Firebolt was killed in action. {{storylink|Headhunt}}&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In the year 2006, when the new Decepticon leader [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] travelled back in time to 1986 as part of a plan to free himself from the control of Unicron, the chaos-bringer used his mental powers to plant knowledge of Galvatron&#039;s plan into the minds of Hot Rod, Kup and Blurr and transported them to Cybertron, where they used Galvatron&#039;s equipment to follow him into the past. There, with help from the present-day incarnation of Ultra Magnus, they were able to convince Galvatron that he had, in fact, traveled back in time to a parallel universe, where his actions would have no effect on the future. Believing this, Galvatron returned to his own time, and after setting any remaining wrongs to rights, the trio of Autobots also returned to 2006.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Target: 2006}} &#039;&#039;Back in his native timeline, Hot Rod was subsequently involved in a battle with Galvatron inside Unicron&#039;s body, during which he opened the sacred Autobot talisman, the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]], and was transformed into Rodimus Prime. With this new strength, he hurled Galvatron through Unicron&#039;s hide and opened the Matrix, destroying the planet-eater.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;It&#039;s believed that [[Primus]] &#039;&#039;deliberately&#039;&#039; caused Hot Rod&#039;s Prime form to resemble him. What an ego!&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Salvage!|#160&#039;s Grim Grams}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Rodimusprimerequestdenied.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Rodimus learned the wrong lesson from Optimus&#039;s death.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;As the new Autobot leader, Rodimus became paranoid about Galvatron&#039;s eventual return, since no body was ever recovered from space. He led the Autobot forces high and low searching the universe for the Decepticon leader, neglecting Cybertron in the process. As a result, Shockwave arose as the new Decepticon leader, and total war broke out on Cybertron once again. Unable to take the time to find Galvatron himself anymore, Rodimus rashly placed a bounty on the Decepticon&#039;s head. What Rodimus did not realize, however, was that Galvatron had time-jumped again, traveling back to 1987.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Wanted:Galvatron — Dead or Alive!}} &#039;&#039;In 2007, when the freelance peace-keeping agent [[Death&#039;s Head (G1)|Death&#039;s Head]] pursued Galvatron back to the &#039;80s, Rodimus was informed of this fact by an Autobot double-agent named [[Nautilus]], and, dismayed at the danger he had unleashed on the past, promptly headed back in time himself to stop the dual threats.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Burning Sky!}} &#039;&#039;Once again teaming up with the present-day Ultra Magnus, Rodimus and his team of Kup, Blurr and [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] tracked Galvatron down to [[Mount Verona]], where he was attempting to harness the volcano&#039;s molten energy. While arguing with Death&#039;s Head, Rodimus and the bounty hunter were both attacked, but when Ultra Magnus opened fire on his [[power siphon]], Galvatron was distracted long enough for Rodimus to escape.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Hunters}} &#039;&#039;Rodimus then arranged a plan that saw the Autobots capture Galvatron&#039;s time-jump mechanism, in order to have Wreck-Gar re-engineer it to return all the time-travelers to their point of origin. Rodimus engaged Galvatron in a protracted battle to buy Wreck-Gar time, but when the device was activated, Rodimus, Death&#039;s Head and the other Autobots were returned to 2007. Galvatron was left behind.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Fire on High!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Some time later, a disgruntled Death&#039;s Head accepted a contract from the Decepticons on Rodimus Prime&#039;s head, and ambushed him while he was inspecting Autobot lines. Their battle subsequently went underground, where [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] intervened, downing Death&#039;s Head in hopes of being the ones to defeat Rodimus, in order to reclaim their lost standing in the Decepticons&#039; ranks. Rodimus was able to lead Death&#039;s Head through the underground tunnels, right into the heart of the Autobot camp, where he offered him advance payment for a different contract—on Cyclonus and Scourge.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Headhunt}} &#039;&#039;Death&#039;s Head proceeded to track the two Decepticons for the remainder of the year, until the three of them fell under the mental control of Unicron when they discovered his disembodied head on the planet of [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]] in the early days of 2008. Under his control, they assassinated Decepticon leader Shockwave and reignited the stalemated Cybertronian civil war in order to keep the Autobots busy while Unicron worked on rebuilding his body. Rodimus, however, learned of the situation thanks to [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]], and led a small Autobot force to Junk, where Death&#039;s Head fought against Unicron&#039;s control long enough to project Rodimus&#039;s mind into a battle with the demi-god on the astral plane. During the battle, explosives planted by Wreck-Gar destroyed Unicron&#039;s head, and his mind was sealed within the Matrix.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}}&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;Later in 2008, the alien Quintessons targeted Cybertron for colonization, and attacked the Autobots with a two-pronged assault on both Cybertron and Earth. When [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] shirked her guard duty at Autobot City, the Quintessons were given an opening that allowed them to take over the city, and when she returned, they gunned her down as bait for a trap for Rodimus Prime. Arriving at the city, Rodimus discovered the injured Arcee and opened his chest compartment to heal her with the Matrix, only to have it yanked from his grasp by the Quintesson general, [[General Ghyrik|Ghyrik]], causing him to revert to Hot Rod. Liberating [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]&#039;s cassettes for back-up, Hot Rod and Arcee proceeded to fight their way through the Quintessons to Autobot City&#039;s control room, where Hot Rod activated [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] to smash the alien threat. In battle with Ghyrik, Hot Rod duped the Quintessons with a bit of amateur ventriloquism and reclaimed the Matrix; transformed back into Rodimus Prime again, he routed the Quintessons.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Unbeknownst to Rodimus, the Quintessons had sought to colonize Cybertron because their own homeworld was being destroyed by a rift in space and time caused by the Transformers&#039; repeated time-travel. The rift continued to grow in size until it threatened both Earth and Cybertron at the beginning of both 2009 and 1989. To put an end to the threat, Rodimus and a squad of Autobots traveled back to 1989, only to wind up mass-displacing Optimus Prime (since the Matrix could not exist in two time periods at once) and a group of other Autobots to [[limbo]], leading to a brief but violent misunderstanding with the present-day Autobots. Optimus Prime was able to stabilize the situation by communicating with all involved through the power of the Matrix. Subsequently, Autobots and Decepticons from both the present and future teamed up to battle Galvatron and [[Straxus (G1)|Megatron]], but one by one they fell, until Optimus Prime used the Matrix to return himself to reality for a final showdown. After absorbing Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge, however, the rift was sealed by Shockwave, and Rodimus and the other future Autobots returned to 2009, vowing to destroy their time machines to prevent this from ever happening again.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Time Wars}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;As it transpired, however, things would not be that easy. In the wake of the massive chronal damage caused by the rift, time had attempted to heal its wounds, but reality was no longer as it had been. The future that Rodimus and the other Autobots came from no longer existed—in its place was a world where Galvatron had never traveled back in time, and had conquered Cybertron after Unicron&#039;s destruction. Rodimus quickly established a rebellion, but when Galvatron tracked down their headquarters, he killed Blurr and all others present, goading Rodimus into a ferocious battle in hopes of corrupting the Matrix within him. Rodimus realized what he was doing, however, and ended the fight before more damage could be done.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Rodimus and the Autobots escaped to Earth via hyperspace, only to find that their craft&#039;s guidance systems had been damaged. During the flight, Rodimus Prime vanished&#039;&#039; {{storylink|The Void! (UK)|The Void!}}, &#039;&#039;and Kup discovered that he was the saboteur,&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Edge of Impact}} &#039;&#039;deducing that he had been corrupted by an evil force from within the Matrix.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Shadow of Evil}} &#039;&#039;Inside the Matrix, Rodimus battled with the essence of Unicron, trapped there since the events of 2008, until Kup wrenched the Matrix from his chest, freeing him from the chaos-bringer&#039;s influence. But now, Rodimus knew that the evil of Unicron would be waiting for him within it...&#039;&#039; {{storylink|White Fire}} &#039;&#039;...and in 2010, Unicron&#039;s essence succeeded in taking over Rodimus&#039;s body, transforming it into a duplicate of his own and attacking Cybertron once more, until Rodimus was able to defeat him from within and re-seal him within the Matrix.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Centuries later, in the year 2356, Rodimus, his body withered and weakened from the continuous harmful influence of Unicron from within the Matrix, lectured a young Autobot [[student]] on the nature of evil, unwittingly setting the youth on the path towards villainy himself.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In an unidentified timeline in the year 2510, a healthy Rodimus Prime was overjoyed to announce that the Cybertronian war was finally over, and planned to step down as leader to allow [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] to take over. The sole remaining Decepticon, a double-agent named [[Triton]], spoke out against the decision to cause dissension, and succeeded—as Rodimus could only watch in dismay, arguments escalated into conflict, and the war was born again as [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]] fought [[Wrecker]], and the Autobot Civil War began.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Peace}}&lt;br /&gt;

====Generation 2====&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:HotrodG2Marvelcomic.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]After the defeat of the Decepticons on [[Klo]], the Autobots&#039; forces scattered throughout the galaxy as virtually independent splinter cells. A small group under Optimus Prime&#039;s command encountered Bludgeon and his soldiers on a desolate world, both sides looking for new weapons or technology, and were in danger of being overrun. Prime sent Hot Rod into a nearby mausoleum building in the hopes that he could conjure up some form of &amp;quot;graven image&amp;quot; to distract the superstitious Decepticon leader. Hot Rod emerged empty-handed from the ruins, only to find that just [[Guardian (G2)|such a graven image]] had conjured &#039;&#039;itself&#039;&#039;, chased off the trespassing Decepticons, and was now prepared to do the same to the Autobots. They managed a dignified, if rushed, scramble to safety. {{storylink|All or Nothing!|Ghosts}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometime after, Hot Rod was operating somewhere in the universe with Optimus Prime and Kup when Grimlock summoned them to deal with the threat of [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] and his Cybertronians. Together, they formed the initial Autobot resistance to the Liege Centuro. {{storylink|War Without End!}} Once Optimus&#039;s visions convinced him there was a much greater threat at work in the universe, however, he took the Autobots into hiding until they were ready to deal with the bigger picture. Stuck on a distant asteroid base, Hot Rod amused himself by running training with the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], and other soldiers as the army slowly regrouped and reorganized, but chafed at the lack of real action. {{storylink|The Power and the Glory}} Luckily, the Autobots soon joined forces with the old Decepticons, the fight ramped up to epic proportions... and Hot Rod proceeded to do nothing of import for the rest of the war.&lt;br /&gt;

Hot Rod was one of several troops stationed on Earth when [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] was in charge and the Transformers&#039; war was still a secret one. He got along well with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], the two spending their downtime looking at car magazines together, and was quite pleased to receive some snazzy gold wheel-trims from the boy.  {{storylink|Decepticon Hideout|Decepticon Hideout}}&lt;br /&gt;

In the time following this campaign, Hot Rod would mature into a more sensible warrior and even a team leader. During the early stages of the war on [[Nebulos]], Hot Rod was Autobot commander against [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus&#039;]] Decepticons before the return of Optimus Prime. At one point, he prevented the Decepticons causing Nebulos&#039; destruction via cosmic radiation.  {{storylink|Decepticons at the Pole|Decepticons at the Pole}}&lt;br /&gt;

Clutching a [[Blackball]], Rodimus Prime found himself being attacked by Galvatron. As the Decepticon leader attempted to throttle him, a light shone from Rodimus&#039;s chest, making Galvatron think it was the power of the Blackball. After Galvatron had fled, Rodimus revealed it was just a torch, and reflected on what an idiot his foe was. {{storylink|Transformer PD Type##11 &amp;quot;Take a Stand!

As Ultra Magnus left for a mission to find an Energon source, Hot Rod assured him that everything would be fine on Cybertron, and if there was any hint of trouble &amp;quot;Rodimus&amp;quot; would pop up and save the day.  When Magnus later checked in, Hot Rod reported that they&#039;d made some process on Headmaster technology. Though Magnus was more concerned about the threat of war, Hot Rod told him not to worry, unaware that [[Sixshot]] was planning to throw him a surprise. {{storylink|The Test (issue)|The Test}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod was pleased to have [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] back. Then [[Monitorus]] arrived with the news that [[Tau-Ursa]] had been attacked and leveled by Decepticons, and Hot Rod got to point out that the Tau-Ursans had refused the Autobots permission to build a defense base there. He shortly took part in an attempt to repel a Decepticon attack on Cybertron, finding himself fighting against Sixshot, who seemed more interested in goading him than fighting. This turned out to be a diversion, while [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] used his new [[Nullification Cannon]] on the planet&#039;s Energon supplies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod and Blurr next visited Tau-Ursa to check for Decepticons, and encountered [[Apeface|Ape Face]], who had found a [[Logicon]] warning beacon. The two Autobots wrestled it from him and returned to Cybertron, where the beacon was found to hold the coordinates to [[Metascan Alpha]], a major Energon storehouse. Prime placed Hot Rod in charge of one of two teams to search for the planet, though the operation was hampered slightly by the discovery of the two Decepticon [[Clone (subgroup)|Clone]]s spying on them. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}&lt;br /&gt;

===Dreamwave comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotroddreamwave.jpg|150px|right|thumb|]]Hot Rod joined an underground Autobot cell led by [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] after [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave&#039;s]] takeover of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Among the members of the cell was [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], who Hot Rod became attached to. From the [[Wastelands]], Hot Rod, [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]], and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] observed an incoming Decepticon shuttle carrying the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]].  {{storylink|Cold War|Cold War}} Shortly afterward, the cell rescued [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] from [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]] and [[Runabout]], and took him to their base.  After awakening, Prime attacked [[Gnaw]], Blurr, and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], forcing Hot Rod (who didn&#039;t recognize him) to hold the Autobot leader at gunpoint. After being &amp;lt;strike&amp;gt;bitch slapped&amp;lt;/strike&amp;gt; admonished by Kup, Hot Rod apologized.  {{storylink|Passive Aggression|Passive Aggression}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Shockwave unleashed the [[Guardian robot]]s on [[Iacon]], Prime organized the resistance cell and other Autobot forces on the planet in an assault on Shockwave&#039;s citadel. Fighting alongside the Autobot leader, Hot Rod was amazed that the stories Kup had told him about Prime&#039;s courage and heroism had all been true. As an injured Prime breached the citadel, Hot Rod, Ironhide and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] provided cover fire, taking down a number of Guardians in the process.  Along with the rest of Iacon, they witnessed the divine light of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Autobot Matrix of Leadership]] when Shockwave activated it.  {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] battled Shockwave within the citadel, Hot Rod and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] took down [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] and [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]. Immediately afterward, they were confronted with the looming threat of a remaining Guardian robot—a threat that was soon neutralized by the arrival of the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]], the [[Autobot High Council]], and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. The unified Autobot group soon breached the citadel.  {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time later, Hot Rod ran a simulation combat scenario against Kup, and won using tactics that, in Kup&#039;s opinion, would have killed them both had it been real. Only after his victory did Hot Rod remember that he&#039;d promised to take Arcee to see an [[Earth]]-bound shuttle launch—a duty Springer was happy to relieve him of.  {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} Soon afterward, he was assigned to perimeter guard duty at [[Autobase (G1)|Autobase]] with Gnaw and Wheelie, separating him from Arcee.  {{storylink|The Route of All Evil|The Route of All Evil}}&lt;br /&gt;

===&#039;&#039;Universe: Featuring the Wreckers&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Skidswreckers2.jpg|left|250px|thumb|It&#039;s funny because Rodimus sucked at everything.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few months after the destruction of [[Unicron]] in 2005, Rodimus Prime spearheaded an effort to establish multiple recon posts to watch for advancing threats... even though some of his scientists said he shouldn&#039;t. When only two of the five launched ships were ever heard from again, Rodimus felt like a schmuck. Guy can&#039;t catch a break.  {{storylink|Betrayal}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Great Wars ended and the [[Pax Cybertronia]] was signed, he changed his name to simply &amp;quot;Rodimus&amp;quot; and decided to check out the new &amp;quot;[[Maximal Upgrade]]&amp;quot;. His relationship with [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] effectively ended shortly after, as the latter went through dark gripping emo depression over the death of [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] and vanished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus joined the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] at some undetermined point afterward. After [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] took over Cybertron with his [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon drones]], Wrecker leader [[Apelinq]] got stranded on prehistoric [[Earth]], leaving Rodimus in charge. True to form, he ditched leadership duties to [[Primal Prime]] as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Primal Prime got his marching orders from the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], he met Rodimus deep inside Cybertron&#039;s caverns, where an even more gothy-emo Arcee—in a new Maximal body—lurked and stewed in her depression. Realizing he couldn&#039;t convince her to give a damn about anything, he left, rejoining the main Wrecker force in battle. Making it onto an ancient Autobot shuttle, the Wreckers blasted off... with late-arrival Arcee.  {{storylink|Departure}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Arceedisclosure.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Except you&#039;re the size of my arm now.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rodimus recognized the homing beacon emitting from [[Akalo|Archa Nine]] as one of those missing exploration parties mentioned before. When the shuttle landed, Rodimus stayed behind to help repair the damage the ship had suffered.  The entire Wrecker team later gathered in an [[Akalouthan]] village, where Rodimus was reunited with [[Glyph (G1)|Glyph]], who took them to see the artifact known as the [[Divine Light]]. The Wreckers&#039; analysis of the item was cut short, as it was stolen by the traitor [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. Rodimus saw the back-in-his-old-body [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] off, who was sent to chase after Cyclonus, while the Wreckers made for their next destination... even though several of them were now leery of the visions Primal Prime had been getting.  Because they&#039;d really done &#039;&#039;so well&#039;&#039; by the Wreckers so far. {{storylink|Betrayal}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon landing on the frozen planet, Rodimus was part of the search party immediately dispatched to look for... something.  Primal Prime wasn&#039;t too specific. They came across [[Al-Badur]], an exiled [[Quintesson]], who gave them a little history lesson. They were then promptly attacked by a school of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]], but the Wreckers made short work of them. They made their way back to the ship, with Al-Badur in tow, and made for their next destination...  {{storylink|Disclosure}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Sentinelcryotekwreckersfinale.jpg|left|thumb|300px|If Optimus can die, so can I!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...Cybertron. As Primal Prime took some Wreckers after their true foe, [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]], Rodimus tried to get their injured to a safe place. Unfortunately, the planet was under a full scale Quintesson invasion, and some anti-aircraft fire inevitably clipped the ship and sent them plummeting downwards. After they made it to safe ground, Rodimus and the crew hooked up with his fellow [[Matrix Templar]], [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], and followed his insight to the battle. They confronted Cryotek&#039;s underling, Cyclonus, and his purloined squad of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]]s. With casualties mounting on both sides, Cyclonus beat a safe retreat, collapsing the tunnel behind him to prevent pursuit. Rodimus was quick enough to dive through the falling debris, however, leaving the two old enemies alone to do battle. Centuries of bad blood carried them through the conflict, until both drew their weapons at point blank range, and fired. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horribly damaged by this last attack, Rodimus struggled to keep up with the other Wreckers and the running conflict between [[Sentinel Maximus]] and Cryotek. The fighting came to an end at a Quintesson banishing chamber, where the treacherous Al-Badur had attempted to toss Sentinel and Cryotek into a formless void. The two warriors were trapped behind an energy dome, barely able to fight off the portal&#039;s pull using their flight systems. Once [[Fractyl]] pointed out that Cryotek was empowered by the Divine Light, a fraction of Primus&#039;s own power, Rodimus realized that as Matrix Templars he and Cheetor could drain that power away from the Predacon. They managed to extract most of it before Cryotek cut off their siphoning effect. In the end, Sentinel Maximus sacrificed himself to pull Cryotek into the void with him. Rodimus finally expired from his wounds from fighting Cyclonus, quietly passing on into the Matrix. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}&lt;br /&gt;

Hot Rod was one of [[Teletran 3]]&#039;s unfortunate victims when the computer malfunctioned and transported a random number of Transformers to random points in Earth&#039;s timeline. Along with [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], Hot Rod ended up in mid-1970&#039;s [[San Francisco]], where he was locked into the form of a Ford Mustang muscle car. The dormant Autobot was soon stolen by a car thief, but was chased down by a group of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joes]] and [[Cobra]] members sent to retrieve the Transformers. Discovering [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] in the process, the humans equipped both vehicles with [[disruption unit]] that awakened the Transformers and sent them back to present-day Cybertron seconds after Hot Rod commented about feeling &amp;quot;really weird.&amp;quot; {{storylink|G.I.

&lt;br /&gt;
Some time after his time travel adventure, Hot Rod reported to Optimus Prime that [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]&#039;s team on Earth had been sidetracked by a Cobra attack. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2|The Art of War #2}} When said team ended up disappearing in Cybertron&#039;s [[Gladiator Zone]], Hot Rod convinced Optimus to stay behind and take care of an Autobot peace ceremony instead of going out and searching for them. Hot Rod then assembled his own search party, but they failed to find the missing Autobots. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} Unfortunately, [[Serpent O.R.]]&#039;s forces attacked the peace ceremony and captured Optimus Prime, leading to Hot Rod assembling a new team intent on rescuing him. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}} They fought Serpent O.R.&#039;s Decepticon army together with reinforcements from G.I. Joe, and during the battle, Hot Rod paused in horror as he saw the light of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] being opened inside the Decepticon base. The Decepticon army eventually defeated, and by the time Hot Rod reached inside their base, Serpent O.R. had been killed as well. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #6}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few months later, Hot Rod questioned Optimus Prime&#039;s choice to go to Earth again, accusing his leader of feeling guilty about [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]&#039;s death at Serpent O.R.&#039;s hands and doing everything by himself just to prevent more people from dying. Prime just looked at him sadly before leaving, causing Ultra Magnus to tell Hot Rod that he really needed to learn when to stop talking. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2|Black Horizon, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;

Years ago, Hot Rod was put in charge of a mission to the planet Ki-Aleta to obtain a powerful artifact named the [[Magnificence]] so as to keep it out of the hands of the Decepticons.  The mission started off smoothly enough, with [[Gizmo]] using a [[holomatter]] generator to distract the defense systems while the rest of the team went after the Magnificence.  Unfortunately, after that everything that could go wrong did go wrong.  First, the generator malfunctioned, then [[Download]] tripped the security lasers around the Magnificence itself.  Gizmo, Download, and [[Backbeat]] were destroyed by the security systems while Hot Rod and [[Doubledealer|Dealer]] fled.  Hot Rod, nearing the exit tunnels they had previously drilled, got a call from Dealer—he had been ambushed by a Decepticon attack squad and needed help.  Unfortunately, Hot Rod had been given his own, top secret orders: the Magnificence was to be the top priority of the mission, and placed before all else.  With a heavy heart, Hot Rod abandoned Dealer to his fate as he left Ki-Aleta with the Magnificence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Years later, Hot Rod learned that Dealer had not died that day; he was being held prisoner at the Decepticon penal colony known as [[Styx]].  Hot Rod stealthily infiltrated the prison complex, using a holomatter generator to disguise himself as a guard and then short-circuiting the power grid to cause all the cell doors to unlock.  During the chaos he snuck in, extracted Dealer, and took off while the Decepticons were busy getting the prisoners under control.  {{storylink|Spotlight: Hot Rod}}&lt;br /&gt;

Recently, Hot Rod was called to [[Earth]] to aid the crew of the &#039;&#039;[[Ark-19]]&#039;&#039; in procuring a Decepticon [[Facsimile Construct]] from [[Brasnya]], a former Soviet state in eastern Europe.  {{storylink|Escalation issue 3|Escalation #3}} He and [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] went down to Earth from the &#039;&#039;[[Ark-32]]&#039;&#039; against [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]]&#039;s wishes, and proceeded to join the battle unannounced. As Hardhead went to support the main battle, Hot Rod went after the facsimile... which led to him colliding with [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] as they both tried to stop the [[Georgi Koska]] facsimile from letting himself get gunned down by Soviet soldiers.  {{storylink|Escalation issue 4|Escalation #4}} Prowl and Hot Rod managed to defuse the situation and secure the facsimile in the end  {{storylink|Escalation issue 5|Escalation #5}}, but before he could return to his ship he was attacked by [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], unable to defend himself because he had to keep the facsimile alive. After returning to the &#039;&#039;Ark-32&#039;&#039;, he had to be put in a [[CR chamber]] to recover. His injuries were for nothing, as the facsimile melted during the bounce.  {{storylink|Escalation issue 6|Escalation #6}}&lt;br /&gt;

He received a little help from Hardhead, who was mainly there to take Hot Rod and the others back to the &#039;&#039;Ark-32&#039;&#039; for evacuation to [[Garrus-9]]. Hot Rod refused to go, wanting to see the Headmaster mystery through to the end. Hardhead reluctantly let him go.  {{storylink|Devastation issue 6|Devastation #6}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:SPDHotRodM.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Oh, Magic 8-Ball, will I ever be Prime in this continuity?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod&#039;s search was interrupted by Dealer&#039;s arrival on Earth, with orders for Hot Rod: find the Magnificence and use it to learn what they could about the Expansion. Hot Rod took Dealer to his hiding spot, which turned out to be the planet where they first found the device. As Dealer and Hot Rod closed on the Magnificence, he went over his first visit to the planet in his mind, and how things could have gone so wrong. Eventually he began to have suspicions, and upon locating the Magnificence, asked it the question that haunted him: had Dealer betrayed him? Sadly, it revealed the truth, and Hot Rod was forced to kill Dealer as the traitor attacked. Looking down on his remains, Hot Rod realized the truth had been staring him in the face, he just hadn&#039;t wanted to accept it. He then used the Magnificence to find out all he could about the Expansion, and relayed the information to the Autobots.  {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}}&lt;br /&gt;

Returning to Earth to continue his search, Hot Rod arrived at the gates of the Machination&#039;s complex, and Scorponok prepared himself to deal with the intruder. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 1|Maximum Dinobots #1}} Unfortunately, Hot Rod found himself fighting well out of his weight class as he was man handled by Scorponok, who cheerfully bashed his face in, put out one of his optics and snapped his leg. The Headmasters dragged him into Scorponok&#039;s control room where, with absolutely no prompting, the big man explained his entire plan for the Dynobots, Skywatch and the Machination. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 2|Maximum Dinobots #2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod seemed less than impressed with this rather mundane approach, which ticked Scorponok off enough for him to point out that it was obviously just the first stage in his master plan. He was also warned to remained awed or he&#039;d be of no further interest. When the Dynobots and newly-arrived [[Monsterbot]]s seemed to turn Scorponok&#039;s plan on its head, Hot Rod burst out laughing, at which point, Scorponok ordered him taken out and shot. In the lift to the surface, Hot Rod suddenly erupted in flames, killing his captors, but draining his power supply. Weakened and with a crippled leg, he collapsed on the floor.  {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 3|Maximum Dinobots #3}}&lt;br /&gt;

He made it out of the building and ran into the real Sunstreaker, who blasted the 2 clones following Hot Rod. Sunstreaker ignored Hot Rod&#039;s warning about Scorponok&#039;s army and stormed into the building so Hot Rod painfully wired himself to send a distress signal.  When Sunstreaker&#039;s real head was later disabled by Hunter, the Headmaster clones shut down, which Hot Rod explained to [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]].  The group was surprised by the arrival of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], but [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] had heard Hot Rod&#039;s distress call and was on his way to Earth.  {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 4|Maximum Dinobots #4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Scorponok knocked out [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] and Grimlock tended to him, the remaining Dynobots offered Hot Rod a lift aboard the Monsterbots&#039; ship. He refused though, and made it back into Machination HQ to take care of something &amp;quot;personal&amp;quot;.  He eventually found Scorponok&#039;s real head (and remarked how ugly it was).  Hunter also showed up and let Hot Rod know how to disable it, but before he could do so, Scorponok grabbed him.  Before Scorponok could crush Hot Rod&#039;s head, the Dynobots showed up and began to battle Scorponok.  Hot Rod told [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] which wires to sever, and he did just that, reducing Scorponok to a catatonic state. Ultra Magnus arrived took everyone back aboard his ship, which later docked with the &#039;&#039;Ark-32&#039;&#039;.  Within 3 days, Hot Rod was fully repaired, with a new body form design. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 5|Maximum Dinobots #5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some time later, while traveling through space by himself, Hot Rod found himself under attack by the &#039;&#039;[[Torment]]&#039;&#039;, a Decepticon warship crewed by [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and the [[Pretender Monster]]s. He was shot down, but managed to transmit a distress call to the Autobot starship &#039;&#039;[[Trion]]&#039;&#039;, which came to his rescue. After the Decepticons were chased off, Hot Rod joined the crew of the &#039;&#039;Trion&#039;&#039;. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 15|Lost &amp;amp; Found}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Ironhide punches Hot Rod.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Ironhide has waited twenty-two years to pay Hot Rod back for [[The Transformers: The Movie|shooting down his shuttle]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
When the Decepticons&#039; galaxy-wide assault hit, the &#039;&#039;Trion&#039;&#039; was shot down over Cybertron. Hot Rod sent out a distress signal and was ecstatic when he ran into some other Autobots. They must&#039;ve come specifically to save his team and... wait, why do you all look surprised about my signal and appear beaten up and resourceless and... &#039;&#039;oh arsebiscuits&#039;&#039;!  {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 4|All Hail Megatron #4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hot Rod was taken back to base and relayed the story of how he and his other crew-mates from the &#039;&#039;Trion&#039;&#039; arrived on Cybertron, having been diverted there by Decepticon ships and forced to crash land.  Once on the surface, Hot Rod sent out his distress signal and was &#039;&#039;so&#039;&#039; sure someone heard it.  Kup arrived with the rest of the &#039;&#039;Trion&#039;&#039;&#039;s crew at that point, just in time to tell Hot Rod &#039;&#039;of course&#039;&#039; no one heard his message.  {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 5|All Hail Megatron #5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Autobots narrowly avoided the [[Insecticon swarm]] and Sunstreaker sacrificed himself, Hot Rod jumped to [[Drift (G1)|Drift]]&#039;s defense when he was being insulted by [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 9|All Hail Megatron #9}}  When the Autobots were later rescued by [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], Hot Rod was glad that he sent out the distress call.  He was then ferried to Earth with the other Autobots aboard Omega.  {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Ongoing issue 1-Hot Rod has had enough.jpg|right|thumb|150px|&amp;quot;Don&#039;t talk to me about stuck, Hot Rod, you&#039;re the one with that horrible sneer stuck on your face!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
For the next two years, the Autobots would remain on Earth as Prime feared the return of the Decepticons. Unfortunately, this lead to the capture of a number of Autobots by Skywatch, including [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]], [[Gears (G1)|Gears]] and Prowl. Hot Rod, already frustrated, lashed out at Optimus, accusing him of keeping the Autobots on the planet because he needed someone to protect and demanding he be allowed lead a team to rescue Prowl. An admonished Prime agreed to a covert operation, but with Ironhide along to watch over things. While Prowl was freed, it turned out the humans had used him as bait to draw the other Autobots in. However Wheeljack&#039;s new shielding protected Hot Rod&#039;s team from Skywatch&#039;s inhibitors and in a panic the soldiers switched to lethal measures. Hot Rod was targeted and Ironhide was killed protecting him. An enraged Hot Rod turned on the humans, damaging their equipment and machinery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After returning with Ironhide&#039;s body, Hot Rod was shocked as Optimus Prime resigned his position as leader. {{storylink|...For All Mankind}} Disgusted with Prime&#039;s decision and unimpressed with the undecisiveness of the others, Hot Rod and several of his comrades took off on their own. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His team later encountered a group of Decepticons led by [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and after a short skirmish agreed to join forces in order to leave Earth. {{storylink|New Arrivals, Old Encounters}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hotrodface.jpg|right|thumb|100px|Hot Rod]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:FFOD3 Rodimus in light.jpg|right|thumb|100px|Rodimus Prime]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime look very similar in fiction, but there are ways to distinguish them by sight.&lt;br /&gt;
**Rodimus Prime&#039;s [[character model]] has extra lines on his face that go from the bottom of his nose and connect to another line forming a triangle shape. Hot Rod&#039;s cheeks are more clear and youthful.&lt;br /&gt;
**Despite their toys being the same color of red, the cartoon series rendered Hot Rod as magenta, and Rodimus a dark shade of burgundy (the movie, however, made Rodimus the same color as Hot Rod).&lt;br /&gt;
**In the comics, Hot Rod was also colored magenta (almost &#039;&#039;entirely&#039;&#039; so), while Rodimus was colored in the reds, oranges and yellows of his toy. Future comics and toys would ignore any differences in color between the character&#039;s two forms, presenting them both in the original toy colors (see the image at the head of the article for a good example).&lt;br /&gt;
**The Japanese &#039;&#039;[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]&#039;&#039; cartoon, in addition to featuring the coloration differences of the Generation 1 cartoon, also added some extra lines around the perimeter of Rodimus&#039;s eyes to further distinguish him from Hot Rod. These odd-looking lines appeared only intermittently, thankfully so—they made Rodimus look like he was wearing robo-mascara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;, Hot Rod does not transform the same way twice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Rodimus Prime&#039;s toy followed the model set by Optimus Prime before him by having a trailer that disconnected and transformed into a battle station (in this case, called the &amp;quot;[[Mobile Defense Bay]]&amp;quot;). Unlike Prime&#039;s [[Combat Deck]], however, Rodimus&#039;s Defense Bay failed to make the leap to fiction, with the cartoon simply depicting his trailer as somewhat unfeasibly folding up into his legs and body &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.allspark.com/content/stories/tfpulp/8704TVM/k.gif Image of Rodimus Prime&#039;s animated transformation scheme from TV Magazine]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (barring a few animation errors that depicted it as a separate unit). This transformation scheme was realized in toy form with Rodimus&#039;s 6&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;[[Titanium Series]]&#039;&#039; action figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Voice actor Ted Schwartz was originally cast to succeed Judd Nelson as the voice of Rodimus Prime for the third season of the animated series, but was subsequently replaced by [[Dick Gautier]]. Before his replacement, however, Schwartz recorded Rodimus&#039;s lines for several episodes (most likely all five parts of &amp;quot;[[Five Faces of Darkness]]&amp;quot;), and although Gautier re-recorded the dialogue, technical oversight led to some of Schwartz&#039;s readings making it into the finished episodes. He can be heard delivering all of Rodimus&#039;s lines in the recap for [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1|part 1]] that plays at the beginning of [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2|part 2]], and speaking one line during the scene on [[Goo]] in [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3|part 3]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hot Rod might be the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; character with the most names in the US.  From &amp;quot;Hot Rod&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Rodimus Prime&amp;quot;, to &amp;quot;Rodimus Major&amp;quot; to just plain &amp;quot;Rodimus&amp;quot;.  Varieties of &amp;quot;Rodimus&amp;quot; appear to be how he will be for a while, as Hasbro appears to be unable to secure the [[trademark]] on &amp;quot;Hot Rod&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]]&#039;s powered up form has a color scheme which resembles Hot Rod&#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Aside from the &#039;&#039;[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]&#039;&#039; [[Rodimus (Energon)|namesake character]], Hot Rod has also been [[Homage|homaged]] twice (or possibly thrice depending on how you look at it) in the [[Unicron Trilogy]].  For &#039;&#039;[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]&#039;&#039;, the &amp;quot;[[Powerlinx]]&amp;quot; upgrade of [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] was given a very Hot-Rod-inspired deco.  In &#039;&#039;[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] made a redeco of Hot Shot (well, &amp;quot;Exillion&amp;quot;), who already had some Hot Rod homage elements in his toy design, with Hot Rod deco as a DVD-pack-in [[exclusive]].  [[Hasbro]] then took this deco, altered it, and released it in the US line at mass retail as the new character [[Excellion]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* One of the first concepts for Classics Rodimus was based around the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagani_Zonda Pagani Zonda] super car, before the [http://www.supercarnet.jp/File/File-Japan/File-Dome.htm Dome Zero] design was decided upon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* At [[BotCon 2002]], Dick Gautier &amp;quot;confirmed&amp;quot;, jokingly, that Rodimus Prime is gay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This Rodimus Prime, along with the original [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], and [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] makes a cameo appearance as one of the four elders who began the [[Space Bridge]] project in the &#039;&#039;[[Cybertron (cartoon)|Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; episode [[Balance]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Just wondering, would it be welcomed if I added some photos of some Mircoman toys (Including one using Megatron&#039;s Gun Turrent), or would it be considered unnecessary and a waste of space? If it would be alright, how many pictures should I limit it to, and what would be the best size for them?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I think that would be a great idea.  The article itself is pretty short right now, though...  At the current length I think no more than two pictures.  If somebody lengthens the article, more pictures could be added of course, although I&#039;d think five or six would be the most to put in, even if the article ends up quite a bit longer.  Pictures that are a few hundred pixels across/high are fine.  Just make sure you give them &amp;quot;thumb&amp;quot; attributes in the article so they don&#039;t mess up the formatting.  --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 23:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Cool, I&#039;ll try to take a couple photos over the weekend(One group one, one concentrating on the accessories). Maybe I can do some more research into them too. Although I&#039;ve become somewhat a collector of them, I know little about their actual background, though a DVD that some of them were bundled with gave some details of their production, including dates, though this might be a bit too much. I&#039;m pretty sure I can find a list of the different series somewhere online, that should be cool beefing up material. I just remembered the most awesome Mircoman figure of all. Microman Figures that come with Rubber Godzilla suits. No one can deny that is awesome...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Merge?==&lt;br /&gt;
It seems to me - as Micro Change was a subline of Microman - that perhaps the two articles should be merged into a single article covering both the main line and its directly TF-related subline. Thoughts? --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 00:52, 24 October 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Micronauts==&lt;br /&gt;
Given recent announcements by Hasbro on the future of Micronauts, shouldn&#039;t this entry be expanded to include a more fulsome recount of the Micronauts? (Or have a separate entry added to the wiki?)[[User:Fairplaythings|Fairplaythings]] 12:19, 21 January 2010 (EST)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Transformers Universe&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a four-issue limited series published by [[Marvel Comics]] in 1986 featuring expanded [[Bio|bios]] for the Transformers that had appeared thus far in the comic and toy lines.  The entries were organized alphabetically, with the exception that characters who first appeared in &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039; were held until Issue 4.  Each character had a lengthy write-up, divided into three sections: Profile, Abilities, and Weaknesses.  A header section gave the character&#039;s name, allegiance, function, and the issue number of their first Marvel Comics appearance, for those who had appeared in the book (which included the bulk of the entries).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Entries for characters from Transformers: The Movie differ greatly in style from the rest, sometimes omitting sections entirely.  The writing style for these characters suggests that their profiles are actually pre-production notes from very early in the characters&#039; development, before their character models had actually been designed; [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], for example, is described as a &amp;quot;multi-engine, and perhaps multi-wing&amp;quot; spacecraft, with weapons such as &amp;quot;an incendiary bomb rack&amp;quot; which are clearly not present on his character model.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Omissions==&lt;br /&gt;
* Divebomb&#039;s eagle mode is not shown at all.&lt;br /&gt;
* Metroplex&#039;s entry includes no individual art for Scamper, Six Gun and Slammer.&lt;br /&gt;
* Perceptor&#039;s third &amp;quot;artillery piece&amp;quot; mode is mentioned but not shown.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sky Lynx&#039;s combined bird-lynx mode is omitted.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tracks&#039; flying car mode is omitted.&lt;br /&gt;
* Like Metroplex, Trypticon&#039;s entry contains no artwork for Brunt and Full-Tilt (or even [[Wipe-Out]]).&lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;quot;base&amp;quot; modes for the four Scramble City combiner team leaders are neither mentioned nor portrayed.&lt;br /&gt;
* Characters entirely missing include the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]], the two [[Deluxe Vehicle|Deluxe Vehicles]] ([[Roadbuster]] and [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]]), the four [[Insecticon (G1)|Deluxe Insecticons]] ([[Barrage (Insecticon)|Barrage]], [[Chop Shop]], [[Ransack (G1)|Ransack]] and [[Venom (G1)|Venom]]), and... [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] and [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]. Yeah, we don&#039;t get it either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Errors==&lt;br /&gt;
* Bluestreak&#039;s name is parsed as two words: Blue Streak.&lt;br /&gt;
* Cassette-mode Buzzsaw is colored almost entirely red.&lt;br /&gt;
* Cliffjumper&#039;s &amp;quot;Weaknesses&amp;quot; are written as if he still has his preliminary nomenclature of &#039;Blow-Out&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hot Spot&#039;s name is parsed as &amp;quot;Hotspot&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Huffer&#039;s art features a rounded hood behind his head, out of keeping with his toy, alternate mode, and usual [[character model]].&lt;br /&gt;
* The lower half of Kickback&#039;s face is colored the same blue-black as his body, as if he had a faceplate instead of a standard mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
* Megatron&#039;s art is based on his pre-animation model, including the differently-shaped head and a trigger on his fusion cannon.  His pistol mode is mostly colored blue-black.&lt;br /&gt;
* Marvel had misplaced the model sheet for the front of Optimus Prime&#039;s vehicle mode, explaining why it is shown from behind.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ramhorn has a Decepticon symbol on both his rhino mode and his cassette mode.&lt;br /&gt;
* Roller and the Combat Deck are likewise not shown in Optimus Prime&#039;s entry.&lt;br /&gt;
* Perceptor&#039;s face gets the same colored-lower-half treatment as Kickback.&lt;br /&gt;
* The faces of Shrapnel, Sideswipe, Skywarp, Snarl and Slag are colored the same blue-black as their heads.  Most should be white or light gray.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sideswipe is missing his shoulder missile launcher.  &lt;br /&gt;
* Soundwave is drawn as though he has a mouth.  He&#039;s colored purple instead of blue, but this is consistent with his appearance in the Marvel comics.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sunstreaker&#039;s entry notes his disdain for his brother Sideswipe&#039;s rear-mounted engine... even though &#039;&#039;Sunstreaker&#039;&#039; is the one with said engine. &lt;br /&gt;
* Trailbreaker&#039;s forcefield projector is missing.&lt;br /&gt;
* Scourge&#039;s alternate mode is shown in the earlier (less toy-like) version which features his head poking out of the top, though his eyes have been replaced with some kind of scanner reading panel.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Movie characters&#039; write-ups are incomplete.  Arblus, Arcee, the Quintessons, and the Sharkticon are missing the &amp;quot;Abilities&amp;quot; section; Blurr, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Kup, Springer, Ultra Magnus, Wheelie and Wreck-Gar have no &amp;quot;Weaknesses&amp;quot; section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Universe01.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Eject? You&#039;re not even in this magazine. Let&#039;s put you on the cover and on the back. Arcee? Botton of the back page for you!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The series was later republished in a single volume although a handful of character profiles, such as [[Eject]], [[Rewind]], [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], [[Steeljaw (G1)|Steeljaw]], [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]], [[Tailgate]], [[Topspin (G1)|Top Spin]], [[Twin Twist]] and [[Pipes]] were left out (although their pictures appeared on the cover).&lt;br /&gt;
* Although cleaned up by artists [[Ian Akin]] and [[Brian Garvey]], all the character artwork was based upon [[Character model|character models]] for the animated series.&lt;br /&gt;
* Characters such as Cyclonus who had two different character models generally use the earlier version, showcasing the divide between models used for the cartoon and models used for the comic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Issue 4 includes the Transformers: The Movie characters, including several non-toy characters.&lt;br /&gt;
* The profiles were also used as part of the UK comic’s &amp;quot;Transformers A-Z&amp;quot; feature. &lt;br /&gt;
* Scans of the series frequently appear on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;
* Although the title on the cover is &#039;&#039;Transformers Universe,&#039;&#039; the title in the indicia is &#039;&#039;The Transformers Universe.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;Transformers Universe&#039;&#039; has essentially been supplanted by the &#039;&#039;[[More Than Meets The Eye (G1)|More Than Meets The Eye]]&#039;&#039; guide books, which include profiles for every G1 Transformer, including the Micromasters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Addendum==&lt;br /&gt;
With issue [[Club Con!|#47]] of the Marvel Comic, new post-1986 character entries under the &#039;&#039;Transformers Universe&#039;&#039; heading began appearing on a semi-regular basis, ending in issue [[The Last Autobot?|#79]]. In these cases, the artwork was based upon the character models used in the US toy commercials, although many 1987 and 1988 characters never received such profiles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Do we really need to scan these things for the wiki?  Scanning a full two pages seems kind of a little beyond fair usage.  And most of this isn&#039;t even particularly useful information, since it&#039;s existing artwork with text taken away or altered.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 19:46, 17 January 2010 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:I don&#039;t see the harm and I&#039;m a fan of these clips. It&#039;s historically interesting to see what Marvel did with the leftover space in these &amp;quot;digests&amp;quot; which have mostly been confined to the dustbin. It&#039;s also amusing that Marvel&#039;s policy seemed to be similar to the wiki&#039;s itself, with fun captions on the art.

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Transformers Universe&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a four-issue limited series published by [[Marvel Comics]] in 1986 featuring expanded [[Bio|bios]] for the Transformers that had appeared thus far in the comic and toy lines.  The entries were organized alphabetically, with the exception that characters who first appeared in &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039; were held until Issue 4.  Each character had a lengthy write-up, divided into three sections: Profile, Abilities, and Weaknesses.  A header section gave the character&#039;s name, allegiance, function, and the issue number of their first Marvel Comics appearance, for those who had appeared in the book (which included the bulk of the entries).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Entries for characters from Transformers: The Movie differ greatly in style from the rest, sometimes omitting sections entirely.  The writing style for these characters suggests that their profiles are actually pre-production notes from very early in the characters&#039; development, before their character models had actually been designed; [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], for example, is described as a &amp;quot;multi-engine, and perhaps multi-wing&amp;quot; spacecraft, with weapons such as &amp;quot;an incendiary bomb rack&amp;quot; which are clearly not present on his character model.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Omissions==&lt;br /&gt;
* Divebomb&#039;s eagle mode is not shown at all.&lt;br /&gt;
* Metroplex&#039;s entry includes no individual art for Scamper, Six Gun and Slammer.&lt;br /&gt;
* Perceptor&#039;s third &amp;quot;artillery piece&amp;quot; mode is mentioned but not shown.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sky Lynx&#039;s combined bird-lynx mode is omitted.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tracks&#039; flying car mode is omitted.&lt;br /&gt;
* Like Metroplex, Trypticon&#039;s entry contains no artwork for Brunt and Full-Tilt (or even [[Wipe-Out]]).&lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;quot;base&amp;quot; modes for the four Scramble City combiner team leaders are neither mentioned nor portrayed.&lt;br /&gt;
* Characters entirely missing include the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]], the two [[Deluxe Vehicle|Deluxe Vehicles]] ([[Roadbuster]] and [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]]), the four [[Insecticon (G1)|Deluxe Insecticons]] ([[Barrage (Insecticon)|Barrage]], [[Chop Shop]], [[Ransack (G1)|Ransack]] and [[Venom (G1)|Venom]]), and... [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] and [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]. Yeah, we don&#039;t get it either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Errors==&lt;br /&gt;
* Bluestreak&#039;s name is parsed as two words: Blue Streak.&lt;br /&gt;
* Cassette-mode Buzzsaw is colored almost entirely red.&lt;br /&gt;
* Cliffjumper&#039;s &amp;quot;Weaknesses&amp;quot; are written as if he still has his preliminary nomenclature of &#039;Blow-Out&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hot Spot&#039;s name is parsed as &amp;quot;Hotspot&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Huffer&#039;s art features a rounded hood behind his head, out of keeping with his toy, alternate mode, and usual [[character model]].&lt;br /&gt;
* The lower half of Kickback&#039;s face is colored the same blue-black as his body, as if he had a faceplate instead of a standard mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
* Megatron&#039;s art is based on his pre-animation model, including the differently-shaped head and a trigger on his fusion cannon.  His pistol mode is mostly colored blue-black.&lt;br /&gt;
* Marvel had misplaced the model sheet for the front of Optimus Prime&#039;s vehicle mode, explaining why it is shown from behind.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ramhorn has a Decepticon symbol on both his rhino mode and his cassette mode.&lt;br /&gt;
* Roller and the Combat Deck are likewise not shown in Optimus Prime&#039;s entry.&lt;br /&gt;
* Perceptor&#039;s face gets the same colored-lower-half treatment as Kickback.&lt;br /&gt;
* The faces of Shrapnel, Sideswipe, Skywarp, Snarl and Slag are colored the same blue-black as their heads.  Most should be white or light gray.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sideswipe is missing his shoulder missile launcher.  &lt;br /&gt;
* Soundwave is drawn as though he has a mouth.  He&#039;s colored purple instead of blue, but this is consistent with his appearance in the Marvel comics.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sunstreaker&#039;s entry notes his disdain for his brother Sideswipe&#039;s rear-mounted engine... even though &#039;&#039;Sunstreaker&#039;&#039; is the one with said engine. &lt;br /&gt;
* Trailbreaker&#039;s forcefield projector is missing.&lt;br /&gt;
* Scourge&#039;s alternate mode is shown in the earlier (less toy-like) version which features his head poking out of the top, though his eyes have been replaced with some kind of scanner reading panel.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Movie characters&#039; write-ups are incomplete.  Arblus, Arcee, the Quintessons, and the Sharkticon are missing the &amp;quot;Abilities&amp;quot; section; Blurr, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Kup, Springer, Ultra Magnus, Wheelie and Wreck-Gar have no &amp;quot;Weaknesses&amp;quot; section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Universe01.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Eject? You&#039;re not even in this magazine. Let&#039;s put you on the cover and on the back. Arcee? Botton of the back page for you!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The series was later republished in a single volume although a handful of character profiles, such as [[Eject]], [[Rewind]], [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], [[Steeljaw (G1)|Steeljaw]], [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]], [[Tailgate]], [[Topspin (G1)|Top Spin]], [[Twin Twist]] and [[Pipes]] were left out (although their pictures appeared on the cover).&lt;br /&gt;
* Although cleaned up by artists [[Ian Akin]] and [[Brian Garvey]], all the character artwork was based upon [[Character model|character models]] for the animated series.&lt;br /&gt;
* Characters such as Cyclonus who had two different character models generally use the earlier version, showcasing the divide between models used for the cartoon and models used for the comic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Issue 4 includes the Transformers: The Movie characters, including several non-toy characters.&lt;br /&gt;
* The profiles were also used as part of the UK comic’s &amp;quot;Transformers A-Z&amp;quot; feature. &lt;br /&gt;
* Scans of the series frequently appear on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;
* Although the title on the cover is &#039;&#039;Transformers Universe,&#039;&#039; the title in the indicia is &#039;&#039;The Transformers Universe.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;Transformers Universe&#039;&#039; has essentially been supplanted by the &#039;&#039;[[More Than Meets The Eye (G1)|More Than Meets The Eye]]&#039;&#039; guide books, which include profiles for every G1 Transformer, including the Micromasters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Addendum==&lt;br /&gt;
With issue [[Club Con!|#47]] of the Marvel Comic, new post-1986 character entries under the &#039;&#039;Transformers Universe&#039;&#039; heading began appearing on a semi-regular basis, ending in issue [[The Last Autobot?|#79]]. In these cases, the artwork was based upon the character models used in the US toy commercials, although many 1987 and 1988 characters never received such profiles.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:TFUMarvel1.jpg|right|180px|thumb|YELLOW POWER!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Transformers Universe&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a four-issue limited series published by [[Marvel Comics]] in 1986 featuring expanded [[Bio|bios]] for the Transformers that had appeared thus far in the comic and toy lines.  The entries were organized alphabetically, with the exception that characters who first appeared in &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039; were held until Issue 4.  Each character had a lengthy write-up, divided into three sections: Profile, Abilities, and Weaknesses.  A header section gave the character&#039;s name, allegiance, function, and the issue number of their first Marvel Comics appearance, for those who had appeared in the book (which included the bulk of the entries).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Entries for characters from Transformers: The Movie differ greatly in style from the rest, sometimes omitting sections entirely.  The writing style for these characters suggests that their profiles are actually pre-production notes from very early in the characters&#039; development, before their character models had actually been designed; [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], for example, is described as a &amp;quot;multi-engine, and perhaps multi-wing&amp;quot; spacecraft, with weapons such as &amp;quot;an incendiary bomb rack&amp;quot; which are clearly not present on his character model.&lt;br /&gt;

* The &amp;quot;base&amp;quot; modes for the four Scramble City combiner team leaders are neither mentioned nor portrayed.&lt;br /&gt;
* Characters entirely missing include the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]], the two [[Deluxe Vehicle|Deluxe Vehicles]] ([[Roadbuster]] and [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]]), the four [[Insecticon (G1)|Deluxe Insecticons]] ([[Barrage (Insecticon)|Barrage]], [[Chop Shop]], [[Ransack (G1)|Ransack]] and [[Venom (G1)|Venom]]), and...

&lt;br /&gt;
==Errors==&lt;br /&gt;

* Cassette-mode Buzzsaw is colored almost entirely red.&lt;br /&gt;
* Cliffjumper&#039;s &amp;quot;Weaknesses&amp;quot; are written as if he still has his preliminary nomenclature of &#039;Blow-Out&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Hot Spot&#039;s name is parsed as &amp;quot;Hotspot&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Huffer&#039;s art features a rounded hood behind his head, out of keeping with his toy, alternate mode, and usual [[character model]].&lt;br /&gt;
* The lower half of Kickback&#039;s face is colored the same blue-black as his body, as if he had a faceplate instead of a standard mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
* Megatron&#039;s art is based on his pre-animation model, including the differently-shaped head and a trigger on his fusion cannon.  His pistol mode is mostly colored blue-black.&lt;br /&gt;
* Marvel had misplaced the model sheet for the front of Optimus Prime&#039;s vehicle mode, explaining why it is shown from behind.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ramhorn has a Decepticon symbol on both his rhino mode and his cassette mode.&lt;br /&gt;
* Roller and the Combat Deck are likewise not shown in Optimus Prime&#039;s entry.&lt;br /&gt;
* Perceptor&#039;s face gets the same colored-lower-half treatment as Kickback.&lt;br /&gt;
* The faces of Shrapnel, Sideswipe, Skywarp, Snarl and Slag are colored the same blue-black as their heads.  Most should be white or light gray.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sideswipe is missing his shoulder missile launcher.  &lt;br /&gt;
* Soundwave is drawn as though he has a mouth.  He&#039;s colored purple instead of blue, but this is consistent with his appearance in the Marvel comics.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sunstreaker&#039;s entry notes his disdain for his brother Sideswipe&#039;s rear-mounted engine... even though &#039;&#039;Sunstreaker&#039;&#039; is the one with said engine. &lt;br /&gt;
* Trailbreaker&#039;s forcefield projector is missing.&lt;br /&gt;
* Scourge&#039;s alternate mode is shown in the earlier (less toy-like) version which features his head poking out of the top, though his eyes have been replaced with some kind of scanner reading panel.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Movie characters&#039; write-ups are incomplete.  Arblus, Arcee, the Quintessons, and the Sharkticon are missing the &amp;quot;Abilities&amp;quot; section; Blurr, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Kup, Springer, Ultra Magnus, Wheelie and Wreck-Gar have no &amp;quot;Weaknesses&amp;quot; section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
* The series was later republished in a single volume although a handful of character profiles, such as [[Eject]], [[Rewind]], [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], [[Steeljaw (G1)|Steeljaw]], [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]], [[Tailgate]], [[Topspin (G1)|Top Spin]], [[Twin Twist]] and [[Pipes]] were left out (though their pictures appeared on the cover).&lt;br /&gt;
* Although cleaned up by artists [[Ian Akin]] and [[Brian Garvey]], all the character artwork was based upon [[Character model|character models]] for the animated series.&lt;br /&gt;
* Characters such as Cyclonus who had two different character models generally use the earlier version, showcasing the divide between models used for the cartoon and models used for the comic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Issue 4 includes the Transformers: The Movie characters, including several non-toy characters.&lt;br /&gt;
* The profiles were also used as part of the UK comic’s &amp;quot;Transformers A-Z&amp;quot; feature. &lt;br /&gt;
* Scans of the series frequently appear on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;
* Though the title on the cover is &#039;&#039;Transformers Universe,&#039;&#039; the title in the indicia is &#039;&#039;The Transformers Universe.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;Transformers Universe&#039;&#039; has essentially been supplanted by the &#039;&#039;[[More Than Meets The Eye (G1)|More Than Meets The Eye]]&#039;&#039; guide books, which include profiles for every G1 Transformer, including the Micromasters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Addendum==&lt;br /&gt;
With issue [[Club Con!|#47]] of the Marvel Comic, new post-1986 character entries under the &#039;&#039;Transformers Universe&#039;&#039; heading began appearing on a semi-regular basis, ending in issue [[The Last Autobot?|#79]]. In these cases, the artwork was based upon the character models used in the US toy commercials, although many 1987 and 1988 characters never received such profiles.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Transformers Digest 10-back.jpg|right|250px|thumb|This scene never happened. Neither did the one with Skids and Megs passionately embraced.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* The Transformers Comic Magazine #10 was the last issue of the digest-size reprint series.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sky Lynx&#039;s profile fails to list his first appearance. He first appeared in Transformers [[Spacehikers!|#36]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Menasor&#039;s profile lists his first appearance as Transformers [[The Next Best Thing to Being There!|#10]]. He first appeared with his fellow Stunticons in Transformers [[Heavy Traffic!|#22]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Octane&#039;s profile fails to list his first appearance. He first appeared with his fellow Triple Changers in Transformers [[Crater Critters|#29]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Interestingly, Rumble is the final character profile for the now-defunct Comic Magazine. His brother, [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] was the four profile in the debut issue.&lt;br /&gt;
* The last page featuring Optimus Prime originates from Issue [[Pretender to the Throne!|#40]], page 13, which would have been released two months before this issue of the Transformers Comic Magazine hit newstands. This issue&#039;s black and white art depicts [[Galen]] overseeing the upgrade of Fortress Maximus in Transformers [[Trial by Fire!|#38]].&lt;br /&gt;
