Damage to his stasis pod upon crashing to [[Earth]] caused '''Tigatron''' (aka '''Unit 2''') to emerge far more tiger than robot. A loner who is more connected to the Earth than any other Beast Warrior, he enjoys the planet's natural beauty and is often concerned about the damage that the Transformers' battle is doing to it. Scout, infiltrator, and sometimes programming guru, Tigatron has filled a variety of roles for the Maximals.

==Fiction==
===Toy bios===
A powerful and fearless warrior, Optimus Primal appointed Tigatron to patrol the northern polar sector, where he roamed in his [[beast mode]]. When he encountered Predacon activity, he was capable of transforming rapidly and reconfiguring his titanium tail into a powerful quasar cannon, which he then used to vaporize his enemies! Additionally, he sported a toxic fluid blaster, which rendered anybody struck by it completely useless. {{storylink|Tigatron (BW)#Toys|Tigatron bio}}

===Cartoon continuity===
====''Beast Wars'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Blu Mankuma]] (English), [[Kōichi Tōchika]] (Japanese)|[[Xue Weigang]] (Chinese), [[Alexander Novikov]] (Russian, 2nd dub), [[Armando Tiraboschi]] (Portuguese), [[Alvaro Tarcicio]] (Latin American Spanish), [[Luis Marín]] (Castilian Spanish), [[Marco Balzarotti]] (Italian), [[Henry König]] (German), [[Jean Barney]] (French)}}

[[File:FallenComrades-Tigatronrobot.jpg|250px|thumb|This is a land of peace, and I will kill anyone who says otherwise!]]

Tigatron's [[stasis pod]] was the first to fall onto the mysterious world which would later be revealed as prehistory [[Earth]]. Born in the far, frozen north, heavily damaged in his [[circuit (circuit)|identity circuits]] and unable to remember friend from foe, Tigatron took to his beast mode. He patiently watched the Predacon and Maximal forces duke it out over the empty stasis pod, finally realising that he was a Maximal when [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] threatened him and the white tiger he had scanned. Transforming, he quickly dispatched the Predacons, but told [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] that he preferred to remain in the wilds. {{storylink|Fallen Comrades}}

From the northern territories, he would send weekly updates to the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' through communication towers. {{storylink|The Trigger, Part 1}} He teamed up with Primal to investigate why [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] was buzzing around in Maximal territory, and he was able to track the Predacon back to a cave where [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] were attempting to use a [[sonic emitter]] to break into the Maximal base. After he stole the device, it exploded, and Tigatron rejoined the other Maximals to mourn [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], who had apparently died trying to disarm [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel]], only for the rat to appear before them moments later. {{storylink|A Better Mousetrap}}

When a [[temporal probe]] sent by the [[Maximal High Council]] neared the planet, Tigatron defended the Maximals while they tried to build a transmission tower on Predacon soil. He became the first victim of [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]]'s [[Transformation Lock Lens]] and ended up in a cage next to [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] in the Predacon base. Cheetor fouled up and clued Megatron in as to what was going on, but Tigatron led an escape, and the pair were able to destroy Tarantulas's weapon, though too late to contact the probe. {{storylink|The Probe}}

[[File:TheSpark Tigatron beast mode.jpg|thumb|left|[[Tommy Oliver|White Ranger Tiger Power]].]]
Tigatron returned to the ''Axalon'' when the Maximals were preparing to leave the planet, remarking that it felt strange to be inside an artificial structure. After it turned out that the Predacons weren't as dead as had been thought, Tigatron attempted to leave to help Primal and Cheetor rescue [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]], but was told to sit down by [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]. No sooner was takeoff underway than the ship was damaged by Megatron and crashed once again. {{storylink|Victory (episode)|Victory}} Alerted to the landing of another stasis pod, Tigatron headed for it, only to run into [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]]. He was swiftly able to freeze the scorpion, only to be taken out by Blackarachnia's [[cyber venom]]. He was later around in the ''Axalon'' to welcome [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] to the team. {{storylink|The Spark}}

[[File:TheTrigger2-ladyshallrideatiger.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|A cat and bird fall for each other. Love is truly blind.]]
It was during one of his weekly reports that Tigatron was attacked by Terrorsaur and Waspinator and found himself on a strange [[Brigadoon|flying island]]. He explored the natural beauty of the island and believed this area, with its powerful death ray and many horrible death-traps, to be a land of peace. When Scorponok and Blackarachnia arrived on the island and shot down Airazor, Tigatron used one of Scorponok's [[cyberbee]]s to send a warning message back to base. {{storylink|The Trigger, Part 1}} The duo received reinforcements in the form of Optimus and Rattrap, and they attempted to beat the Predacons to the obelisk in the center of the island. They failed, and to Tigatron's distress, he was forced to destroy the island's power source after Blackarachnia took control of it. The island crashed, leaving Tigatron with profound regret. {{storylink|The Trigger, Part 2}}

Tigatron was the first Maximal to spot [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]'s stasis pod crashing, but was prevented from getting there by Waspinator. Airazor lent a hand, and he sent her ahead to secure the pod, but arrived to find she'd failed—the new protoform was a Predacon, and Tarantulas had made off with the empty pod. Tigatron pursued Tarantulas and managed to destroy the pod so that the Predacons couldn't learn anything from it, before he was attacked in retaliation by the Predacons. He would almost certainly have been destroyed if it wasn't for the timely arrival of Optimus and Airazor. {{storylink|Spider's Game}}

[[File:CalloftheWild Tigatron face.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|I can haz robot moed?]]
Being more at home with his [[beast mode]] than his [[robot mode]], he was invaluable help when the Maximals were left stuck in beast mode and overpowered by animal instincts. He helped them learn to work with these instincts instead of struggling for dominance. {{storylink|Call of the Wild}} After a group of the Maximals went missing, Tigatron and Primal hunted for them. Tigatron eventually heard their weapons fire and was able to alert Optimus. It turned out that the four Maximals had become blinded by an energon explosion and had been making their way back to base. {{storylink|Dark Voyage}}

After the other Maximals were expelled from their base by the Predacons with the aid of a [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]-possessed Waspinator, Airazor alerted Tigatron. Tigatron joined the other Maximals in a ploy to take back their base, which apparently involved helping Starscream to mount an assault on the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''. {{storylink|Possession}} He also helped provide reinforcements for Dinobot and Rattrap, as the pair tried to find a cure for the [[energon discharge virus]] with which Rhinox had been afflicted. {{storylink|The Low Road}}

[[File:Law of the Jungle Tigatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.34|KKHHAAAAAANNNNNN!!!]]
While providing aid for Cheetor and Dinobot, Tigatron easily trounced Waspinator and Inferno, but a stray shot from his weapon caused an avalanche, killing his tiger friend [[Snowstalker]]. Anguished, Tigatron quit the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]], refusing to fight any longer, despite several of the Maximals trying to persuade him otherwise. In the end, it was the Predacons' act of taking out Dinobot and Primal which made Tigatron realise that he had to do everything he could to protect the land. {{storylink|Law of the Jungle}}

Not much later, Tigatron was the first to detect a pulsing alien energy source. When Megatron initiated a somewhat suspicious truce shortly afterward, Optimus Primal ordered a covert infiltration of the Predacon base. Rattrap and Airazor made enough of a distraction to allow Tigatron inside the [[Darksyde (BW)|Predacon base]].

Inside, he hacked his way into the ship's computer systems and found out what had Megatron so worried: The [[Vok]] were coming back, and they weren't happy. {{storylink|Before the Storm}} Tigatron returned to the ''Axalon'' to monitor the alien [[Planet Buster]] which threatened the world. He and the other Maximals were saved when Optimus Primal destroyed the weapon. {{storylink|Other Voices, Part 2}} He and Airazor somehow escaped being [[Transmetal]]ized by the [[quantum surge]], but were knocked offline by Megatron while they were trying to recapture Blackarachnia. {{storylink|Aftermath (BW episode)|Aftermath}} After repairs, they left the base to search the planet for the stasis pods which had been knocked out of orbit by the explosion. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)}}

[[File:Other Visits 1 Tigatron plant.jpg|thumb|left| "I'll never let go Jack..."]]
Tigatron and Airazor formed a very powerful relationship during this time. Unfortunately, before they could discover any still-functional pods, they found a valley untouched by the Planet Buster which also contained alien technology. The pair were soon abducted by a [[Metal Hunter|bizarre alien plant]]. {{storylink|Other Visits (Part 1)}}

[[File:OtherVictories BirthofTigerhawk.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|And baby makes three!]]

The two were not seen again until much later, when their inert bodies were revealed to be the captives of the Vok, floating somewhere in a deep-space nebula. The Vok removed their sparks from their bodies, created a third spark, and then fused the new spark and the bodies into the awesomely powerful [[Vok]] emissary [[Tigerhawk]]. Tigerhawk was sent to Earth, while the sparks of Airazor and Tigatron followed behind. Reaching Earth, their sparks entered a comatose Cheetor, giving him a vision of Airazor and Tigatron's bodies, their sparks becoming one. But when the Vok interrupted the vision, Cheetor woke up screaming. He thought it was just a dream until he saw the combined Tigatron/Airazor spark floating before him. The combined spark led Cheetor to [[Tarantulas's lair]], where Tarantulas was attempting to steal Tigerhawk's Vok powers for himself. Ultimately, the Vok were expelled into Tarantulas's body, killing him, which left Tigerhawk's body open for Tigatron/Airazor's spark to inhabit. {{storylink|Other Victories}}
{{-}}

====''Beast Wars Diorama Story''====
After [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s involvement in the Beast Wars, Tigatron eventually met up with several [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s from [[Transformers (film)|another dimension]]. A battle broke out between the Maximals, Predacons, Autobots, and Decepticons and Tigatron found himself pitted against [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Starscream attempted to get the drop on him from the high ground, but Tigatron managed to blast the Decepticon square in the face. [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] then teamed up to take down the Decepticon for good. {{storylink|Tigatron Chapter}} The battle resolved, the other-dimensional Transformers returned to their place of origin and the Beast Wars continued as they were. {{storylink|Motorarm Chapter}}

====3H comics====
[[File:PrimevalDawn2-TigatronSpittor.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|That's an impressive transformation there, Tigatron.]]
Tigatron and Airazor's sparks were sent back to Earth by the [[Vok]] sometime after [[Tigerhawk]]'s destruction. Tigatron's spark took possession of [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]]'s former body at the bottom of a lake. Joining Transmetal Airazor and a newly created [[Primal Prime]], {{storylink|Primeval Dawn Part 1}} {{storylink|Primeval Dawn II}} Tigatron scoured the planet for abandoned [[stasis pod]]s. He awoke [[Ramulus]] from his pod, but [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]] had already been reprogrammed into a Predacon by the time they reached him. Spittor had joined a reborn [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] and the recently created [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]] and [[Razorclaw (BW)|Razorclaw]], and so the two groups battled. As Tigatron attempted to confront Spittor, Airazor knocked Spittor away, as she noted that the Predacon was covered in lethal poison. While they were occupied, [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], who was resurrected with the power of the Vok at his command, battled Primal Prime and ripped the [[Matrix of Leadership]] from his chest. {{storylink|Primeval Dawn Part 2}}

[[File:Primal Prime Vok.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Then Airazor dies or something, yadda yadda yadda...]]

Primal Prime, traumatized by the separation, was reduced to a coma, so as the Predacons returned to Tarantulas's lair with their prize, Tigatron and the others retreated with their leader's body to the Ark. Tigatron and Airazor left Ramulus to commune with the Vok on their own, but could not successfully contact them. Further more, Tigatron was worried about Airazor, who seemed to have incurred long-term wounds from the battle with Ravage's Predacons. Their concerns were interrupted by an attack on the Ark, orchestrated by Ravage. However, Ramulus had apparently fled for reasons unknown, leaving Tigatron and Airazor alone against their attackers. Or not, as Primal Prime suddenly appeared behind them, possessed and rejuvenated by the Vok! {{storylink|Primeval Dawn Part 3}}

{{note|[[3H Productions|3H]] folded before the "Primeval Dawn" story could be finished, so the exact story of how Tigatron came to join the [[Wreckers]] is unknown. It seems likely, though, based on the needs of later stories and comments by the writers, that Tarantulas was defeated, the Matrix was restored to Optimus Prime's body, and Primal Prime, Tigatron, Spittor, Ramulus, and also [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]], [[Packrat]], [[Fractyl]], and Waspinator returned to Cybertron in the transwarp portal that Tarantulas had been building. Airazor's fate is unknown.}}

[[File:Departure-TigatronmeltsQuake.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|What was that up above, uh, about your "personal code prohibiting lethal force"?]]

Tigatron, Primal Prime, and others arrived on Cybertron during Megatron's anti-biological reign and joined [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]]'s Wreckers. The Wreckers and various other teams which persisted on the planet met with the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], which assigned each of them a task. When Optimus Primal objected, saying that with all these soldiers, Megatron could be defeated easily, the Oracle swept him away and cleansed his memory of the recent events. Tigatron vehemently objected to this treatment of his former commander. A set of coordinates was infused into Primal Prime's head by the Oracle. When arriving at an Autobot shuttle, which was to ferry the Wreckers to those coordinates, Tigatron felt that something was amiss. It was then that the Vehicon generals [[Spy Streak]], [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] and [[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]] attacked with an army of drones. Tigatron used his Nature's Fury attack, utterly destroying Quake. {{storylink|Departure}}

During the ride in the Autobot shuttle, Tigatron meditated, recovering from using his powers against Quake. Ramulus knocked at the door of his chambers to alert him to their arrival on [[Archa Nine]], and Tigatron sensed that danger awaited the Wreckers. As half their group left to scout the planet, Tigatron stayed behind with the remainder to repair their damaged shuttle. Tigatron's feelings of dread turned out to be correct; [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] betrayed them all and stole the artifact the Wreckers were after, the [[Divine Light]]. {{storylink|Betrayal}} Apelinq had begun to lose what little faith he had in the mission, but Tigatron assured him that they must quickly mourn their fallen, soldier on, and accept their divine charge.

The Oracle led the Wreckers next to a desolate ice planet, where they found the exiled [[Quintesson]] scientist [[Al-badur]]. Tigatron, meanwhile, had stayed behind with a few others on board the shuttle, where they faced an army of [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s and defeated them easily. {{storylink|Disclosure}}

[[File:Chromutated.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I'm not sure what's going on here, but it looks f@#$ing AWESOME.]]

{{note|In the unpublished [[The Wreckers: Finale Part 1|Wreckers #4]], Tigatron and the others learned that the Quintessons had invaded Cybertron and that [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]] was taking this opportunity to use the Divine Light to assume the powers of [[Primus]]. Tigatron rejected this idea, stating that the Vok would never allow it. The Wreckers hurried back to Cybertron, and Primal Prime took Tigatron, Ramulus, and Apelinq with him to the surface below to find and stop Cryotek.}}

Tigatron was taken aback by the beauty of the newly [[technorganic]] Cybertron, but he didn't get a chance to enjoy it before the Wreckers plunged into battle. Unfortunately, at the planet's core, things went wrong for them almost immediately. Cryotek had already used the Divine Light to mutate himself into a larger, more impressive version of himself, and with one blast, he had destroyed both Apelinq and Primal Prime. Before Tigatron and the others could be next, thankfully, Primus himself intervened and brought back Apelinq and Primal Prime as a single new entity, [[Sentinel Maximus]]!

As amazing as this was, it didn't take long for Cryotek to shrug it off, and soon Tigatron and the others were fighting not only Cryotek and his loyal servant and former Wrecker, Cyclonus, but also his pet [[Deployer (BM)|Deployer]], [[Chro]], who was also mutated to enormous size. Ramulus wondered why Tigatron did not simply unleash his Vok powers on their foes. Tigatron responded that doing such takes an incredible amount of focus and willpower, lest he tear himself and everything around him apart, and the moment did not lend itself to such.

Soon the Wreckers met up with the native Cybertronian counterforce, led by [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]. Though the two were happy to reunite, Tigatron was surprised to hear the matured Cheetor give him orders. Tigatron next found [[Rotorbolt (Universe)|Rotorbolt]] with the mangled body of his fellow Predacon, Fractyl, who was still on life support from an earlier part of their journey. Tigatron feared Rotorbolt was going to euthanize the geometrist, and so he offered to use his Vok powers to restore him. The Vok warned him that this would extinguish the last of his connection to them, but still Tigatron proceeded.

Tigatron also met up with [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]], and [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]], and after avoiding the question of the fate of Airazor, learned that Al-badur had led the Wreckers and Cryotek to a long-forgotten Quintesson sentencing chamber. The Quintesson, attempting to 'port Cryotek away, locked both the Predacon and Sentinel Maximus in a containment field that threatened to suck them away into a dimension of nothingness. Tigatron and the others tried to free Sentinel Maximus with their various weapons, but had no luck. Though Cheetor and Rodimus tried to use their [[Matrix Templar]] powers to avert disaster, Sentinel Maximus ultimately sacrificed himself and Cryotek to the portal. Rodimus, who had suffered great wounds during his fight with Cyclonus, died shortly after due to these further exertions. Fractyl begged Tigatron to use his powers to save Rodimus as well, but Tigatron could not, as the Vok had since left him. Despite these losses, the Wreckers were victorious and Cybertron was saved. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

====Razorclaw continuity====
In one splinter timeline of [[Primax 496.22 Alpha]], [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]]'s stasis pod landed far from the ''Axalon'', and without his presence, Megatron slaughtered the Maximals. Left as the sole survivors, Tigatron and Airazor were then abducted by the Vok and then dispatched as Tigerhawk to end Megatron's machinations which threatened the Vok. Tigerhawk slew Megatron, but their reality was destroyed anyway by the [[timestorm]] Megatron's actions triggered. Subsequently, Tigerhawk was plucked by [[Unicron]] from the remnants of his home universe to become one of his [[Minion of Unicron (Universe)|Minion]] generals, renaming himself [[Razorclaw (Universe)|Razorclaw]]. However, the noble influence of Tigatron and Airazor at times posed a problem for the evil Razorclaw. {{storylink|Abduction|''Universe'' Razorclaw profile}} {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/07}}

====Dreamwave ''Armada'' comic====
When the [[Herald of Unicron|Heralds of Unicron]] destabilized the Decepticon [[space bridge nexus]], causing the space bridges to become windows to other dimensions, [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] caught a glimpse of Rattrap and Tigatron in one of the portals. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 4 of 4}}

While traveling back to Cybertron at the conclusion of the Beast Wars, Optimus Primal reflected on past battles, including those in which Tigatron fought. {{storylink|Shell Game issue 1|Shell Game #1}}

====2006 IDW ''Beast Wars'' continuity====
At the tail end of the Great War, Tigatron was a negotiator, respected by all sides for his desire for peace. He worked in close standing with [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]], [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]], [[Lio Convoy (BW)|Lio Convoy]], and [[Big Convoy (BW)|Big Convoy]] on what came to be known as the [[Primal Council]].

When news came that both [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had met their ends on the battlefield, Tigatron was sent out by the Council to try and broker an armistice between the Autobots and the Decepticons. He was accompanied by a handful of soldiers into the field for this end. Unfortunately, the first enemy camp he made contact with was headed by a renegade soldier going by the name "[[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]". Rejecting the peace-talk outright, Megatron unleashed [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] onto his visitors before meeting with Tigatron in combat himself. The duel was ended prematurely as Tigatron was snatched up by Predaking, and Megatron headed off to attack the base of the Primal Council. Thankfully, Tigatron was rescued from the gestalt's grasp by [[Airazor (BW)|a soldier]] in his entourage. As the rest of the Autobots with them were slain, Tigatron argued with his rescuer over which one of them should head off to warn the Council of the incoming attack. Convincing him that she didn't need rescuing herself, and promising that she'd see him again someday, the soldier sent Tigatron on his way. This decision was for the best as Tigatron was capable with combining with four of his fellow council members into [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]]. He did so in time to push Megatron and his troops back from their assault. As transwarp energy began to rain down on the planet ([[Tarantulas (BW)|apparently]] the result of a doomsday device triggered by Galvatron) the [[Tripredacus Council]] surrendered the war on behalf of all Decepticons.

The Pax Cybertronia was signed, but this was a bittersweet victory for Tigatron; the soldier he had promised to meet with again had been hit by transwarp energy, and in consequence was stripped of her identity and reduced to a protoform. {{storylink|Dawn of the Predacus}}

As [[Magmatron (BW)|Magmatron]] was surveying the timeline, he witnessed several key moments of the Beast Wars. Among those moments was Tigatron helping Airazor back to her feet. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 1|The Gathering #1}}

After Tigerhawk's body was destroyed, the two sparks contained within split, regaining their individuality. The Vok gave Tigatron a new Transmetal body. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #4}}

====''Timelines''====
[[File:Tigatrondawn.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|He wasn't even supposed to be here today!]]
Tigatron, once known by the badge designation "'''Unit 2'''", part of the [[Maximal Command Security Force]] which protected the fragile peace that existed on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in the centuries following the [[Pax Cybertronia]]. One of the Security Force's elite troops, Unit 2 was often put in charge of guarding important Maximal artifacts, a job that often required his amazing prowess at tracking. Despite his strong command of this environment, Unit 2 wondered if his destiny and place were elsewhere. {{storylink|#Timelines 2|BotCon 2006 Tigatron profile card}}

When the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] was stolen by a band of rogue [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], Unit 2 responded along with Unit 1, [[Nitrostreak]]. After Nitrostreak was incapacitated, Unit 2 attempted to follow the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]'' by commandeering the ''[[Chromia 10]]'', pursuing along with [[Airazor (BW)|its pilot]]. During the ensuing firefight with a [[Buzzsaw and Laserbeak's ship|second Predacon vessel]], their ship was badly damaged. [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] had their [[spark]]s remotely [[spark core transfer|uploaded]] to [[blank]] [[protoform]]s in the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s cargo hold, which saved their lives, but severely damaged their core mainframes. {{storylink|Dawn of Future's Past}}

Two weeks after [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] was reborn on [[Earth]], Tigatron rushed out to assist the Maximals against the Predacons during a plot to launch an orbital weapon. The launching pad was destroyed by Airazor just as Tigatron arrived. {{storylink|The Razor's Edge}}

Following the [[Quantum surge]], Tigatron was separated from the other [[Maximal]]s and left stranded somewhere on [[Earth|Energoa]]. Following [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]'s rebirth and escape from [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] was left to ponder sadly where her "Tigatron-sama" was. Elsewhere on Energoa, Tigatron could be seen staring poetically at the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 1|Beast Wars Metals #1}}

Left with amnesia, Tigatron scoured the snowy regions of [[Earth|Energoa]] as a samurai ronin. He encountered Blackarachnia and Tarantulas there and promptly chopped Tarantulas in two. Blackarachnia managed to block his blade with her legs and escape, though. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 2|Beast Wars Metals #2}}

Believing Tigatron to still be alive, Airazor eventually went off on her own to look for him. The recovered Tarantulas later called a truce and Tigatron naively believed him. This gave Tarantulas the chance to take over Tigatron's mind with a [[Predacon control unit]]. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 3|Beast Wars Metals #3}}

Airazor soon found Tigatron and, seeing he was being mind-controlled, linked her consciousness with his body in an attempt to free her beloved's mind. Tigatron was eventually freed from Tarantulas's control, but not before his out-of-control body delivered a fatal blow to Airazor. Coming to his senses too late, Tigatron wept as he held Airazor's lifeless form in his arms. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 4|Beast Wars Metals #4}}

Succumbing to his grief, Tigatron committed ritual suicide. He was promptly revived by the energies of the sparks released by the obliterated [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]. He helped Optimus Primal defeat [[Jaguar]], but was soon met by another mindless killer zombie: Airazor. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 5|Beast Wars Metals #5}} Not wanting to hurt his beloved again, he offered her his sword and his neck. Just as zombie-Airazor began to strike, her spark entered his body through the sword. In cyberspace, the two embraced each other and vowed never to be apart again. Their sparks then merged, resulting in the all-powerful [[Tigerhawk]]. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 6|Beast Wars Metals #6}}

Tigatron was a native of the planet [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Eukaris]], born from the [[hot spot (phenomenon)|hot spot]] inside the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Chela]]. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}} He abandoned [[Fur Walkers|his tribe]] long ago so that he could be with his love Airazor. {{storylink|The Chosen One}} {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}}

Blackarachnia, Tigatron and Airazor joined the leaders of the four tribes as they discussed their next course of action, only for the Space Bridge to disgorge [[Rattrap (BW)#2005 IDW continuity|Rattrap]]—delegate for Cybertron on the [[Council of Worlds]]—who had arrived in advance to try and win over the beast-formers to his cause. Using the knowledge gleaned from his brief sojourn, proper representatives arrived a week later in the shape of [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]. The presence of vehicular "standard-formers" on his world was enough to rouse Chela from his slumber to destroy the intruders. The brief battle saw Starscream kill the Titan, and in accordance with Blackarachnia's prophecy, the leaders of Eukaris agreed to join the Council. Blackarachnia appointed Tigatron and Airazor as delegates to Cybertron, believing that their independence from Eukaris's competing tribes would make them impartial diplomats. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}} Still shunned by the citizens of Eukaris, the pair relocated to the Cybertronian city of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], where they attempted to adjust to life in their new home while quietly hoping that one day the growing population could expand beyond its borders. {{storylink|07:00:00}}

The Council had its first major diplomatic crisis not long afterwards, when [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] announced his intent to annex [[Earth]] into the Council to defend it from further Cybertronian aggression. Both Eukarian delegates were in attendance to discuss this sudden change of events. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}}

[[File:0700-lifeoncybertron.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Not long afterwards, the Council convened to discuss a string of mysterious [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgical]] murders and the growing distrust of Starscream's [[Badgeless]] enforcers. The Committee moved to have [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] investigate the crime spree. {{storylink|07:00:00}} Things turned sour following the death of [[Drunkatron|an inebriated Decepticon]] which most chalked up to police brutality; Tigatron and Airazor attended the emergency meeting to try and sort out what could be done. Ultimately, Ironhide stepped up as the new head of Cybertronian security. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}} Tigatron later attended a meeting where Ironhide reported on the progress of the new recruits. {{storylink|Things We Said We'd Never Do}} When [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] attacked Iacon, Tigatron and the other Council delegates were temporarily evacuated. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}

As Optimus struggled to pick up the pieces from his divisive actions, the Council afforded him a hearing so that he could explain his motivations. Although Prime insisted that his intentions were pure, its members unanimously voted against allowing Earth to join. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}} The situation took a drastic turn when Optimus managed to raise [[Metrotitan (G1)|a Titan]] from beneath [[Monument Valley]]; with Titans having great spiritual import among the colonists, the delegates began reconsidering their vote and ultimately allowed Earth, its status as a Transformer colony supposedly confirmed, a provisional seat on the Council. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 6: No Fair Fights|No Fair Fights}}

[[File:DesperateTimes-anythingforyou.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

Months later, [[Vigilem|Carcer]] detected a fleet of [[zombie]] Titans rapidly approaching Cybertron and intent on scouring the planet clean. The Council attended an emergency meeting to discuss the threat and wound up preparing for an all-out war. As the Titans made planetfall, Iacon fought back; Airazor and Tigatron fought together on the front lines and used their [[beast mode]]s to tear through enemy armor. {{storylink|Ping}} When it became clear that they couldn't win, the two retreated back to the Council Spire. Both Airazor and Tigatron joined Windblade's strike team, aiming to invade Carcer and seize control of the Titan from its secretive leader [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]. {{storylink|Desperate Times}} Though the Carcerians shot down their insertion shuttle, the team rode the flaming debris down onto the Titan's hull, and eventually managed to infiltrate Carcer's [[brain module]] chamber, where Tigatron pinned down Obsidian as Windblade interfaced with the Titan... and learned that "Carcer," was in, fact, the villainous [[Vigilem]]. {{storylink|Desperate Measures (Till All Are One)|Desperate Measures}} Despite this, Tigatron ordered his fellows to keep Obsidian down and to allow Windblade to remain plugged in until Cybertron was safe. {{storylink|Rubicon}}

Ultimately, Windblade and Vigilem were able to repel the undead Titans, but Windblade was left grievously inured by the strain of controlling Vigilem, who managed to disgorge the imprisoned [[Liege Maximo]] from his innards before perishing. Tigatron and the other delegates who had been privy to the adventure attended a meeting with Elita One as the Carcerian commander explained the sordid history of Liege Maximo. Faced with a choice between revealing the existence of the Liege to Cybertron, and potentially sowing panic in the populace, or keeping the events aboard Carcer a secret, Tigatron believed that the knowledge should be shared with the citizens of the Council. {{storylink|Heavy}}

As Iacon rebuilt, the Council,—minus Windblade and plus the [[Mistress of Flame]]— reconvened to meet with Optimus Prime as the Autobot leader discussed sharing Transformer technology with the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]], who had recently arrived on Earth. Starscream shot down the proposal; as Earth was not yet a member of the Council, it would be a violation of the [[Tyrest Accord]]. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 3: Behind My Bleeding Back|Behind My Bleeding Back}} After some diplomatic maneuvering, Earth selected an [[Marissa Faireborn|ambassador]] to formally represent their planet on the galactic stage; in the ensuing ceremony commemorating this new alliance, however, [[Joe Colton|Baron Ironblood]] and his [[Iron Ring]] invaded Iacon as part of a genocidal attack on the Cybertronian species. {{storylink|First Strike issue 1|First Strike #1}} When [[Scarlett]] and her allies arrived on Cybertron, they were arrested and sent to the Council to stand trial; Tigatron gravely watched as Scarlett and [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] argued their case. {{storylink|First Strike issue 4|First Strike #4}}

When this latest crisis was resolved, Windblade had made a full recovery and prepared to retake her seat on the Council... only for the much-changed [[cityspeaker]] to immediately run afoul of the Mistress of Flame and Starscream, resulting in her banishment from the Council and exile from Caminus. Undeterred, Windblade set out to run in Iacon's first election since the end of the war. In the ensuing three-way race between Windblade, Starscream, and Elita, the two Eukarians were firmly on Windblade's side and watched her orate in the first debate. Windblade ultimately won the election, becoming the next leader of Cybertron, with both Eukarians taking part in the victory celebrations. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

The Council later assembled to collect an [[Ore-13]] shipment that Optimus Prime had brought from Earth before Liege Maximo returned to Cybertron, now a prisoner of Onyx Prime. The Council granted the bestial Prime an audience where a mysterious explosion ripped through the [[Spire]], killing Alpha Trion in the process. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}} "Onyx Prime's" machinations had successfully sowed chaos across Cybertron, leaving the Council of Worlds paralyzed and unable to act for the duration of the crisis, and by the time that "Onyx" had been unmasked as a time-travelling Shockwave and arrested, the Council was too late to stop the penultimate stage in Shockwave's plan from falling into place: [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], who began a genocidal rampage across the galaxy. Shortly after the planet-eater destroyed Eukaris, Tigatron joined the other members of the Council of Worlds in an emergency meeting to discuss the situation. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}}

When Unicron then attacked and destroyed Cybertron, Airazor and Tigatron were among the many refugees who were safely teleported to [[Earth]] by the [[Visionaries]], regrouping at [[Victoria Falls]]. {{storylink|A Sunrise Dark}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
Tigatron began as a street cop with the [[Maximal Command Security Force]]. As his career evolved, he worked directly with the [[Builder Assembly]] as an aide to [[Crosscut (G1)|Cross-Cut]], and also organized an outreach program for the [[Empty|Empties]] on the streets of Cybertron. He eventually found himself a member of the [[Maximal High Council]], the intermediary governing body which the Builders allowed to mitigate minor crimes and political matters among the proto-races.

During the [[Grand Uprising]], Tigatron and the High Council finally decided to declare outright neutrality, building an independent [[Maximal Nation]] in the [[Tagan Heights]] and refusing to fight for either the Builders or the [[Resistance (BWU)|Resistance]]. Their neutrality seemed at risk during the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] counter-strike, with the Resistance asking for aid pushing on the Builder Assembly at Iacon, and the Vehicons a strong indicator that Maximal neutrality would not be tolerated much longer. Tigatron was at a loss at how to proceed when the Council received an audience from First Resistor [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] and [[Preditron]], founder of their opposing tribe. Their words swayed the Council over the seriousness of the Vehicon threat, and Tigatron ultimately voted to join the fight and advance on Iacon.

Tigatron and Cheetor forged a bond as the National Maximal Army prepared to march. Tigatron confided in the "little cat" that he had doubts about their chances of success, but was certain the Builders would re-enslave them if the Vehicons were successful. Tigatron and the Council fought within the ranks of their soldiers in their combined form as [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]].

The war against the Builders and their grand mistake, the Vehicons, was won, but at great cost. [[Lio Junior (BW)|Lio Minor]] was killed in the war as part of Magnaboss, leaving the High Council a member short. Tigatron proposed membership to Cheetor at [[Hyperious]] during the peace summit, but the First Resistor ultimately declined. The [[Under-3|head]] of the Maximal Academy was chosen instead. {{Storylink|Derailment}}

The Maximals traveled across time to find the [[AllSpark]] and change the fate of Cybertron. While battling the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s on pre-[[Ice Age]] Earth, both sides were joined by the Autobots and Decepticons, their epic battle changing their combined destinies forever.

Tigatron's function was a scout, and he [[trans-scan]]ned into a white tiger. His Quasar cannon was his powers and weapons, and his core traits were his fearlessness, down-to-earth attitude, and peaceable mindset. Tigatron's message from the future was that he should stick to the plan so that he will be reunited with [[Airazor (BW)|a dear friend]]. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' webpage}}<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/kingdom ''Kingdom'' webpage]</ref>

A [[quantum surge]] killed nearly every Maximal and Predacon, with Tigatron being one of the sole survivors. The surge, however, left him mutated, aggressive, and savage, with no memory to his Maximal allegiance. As such, [[Terrorsaur (BW)|another survivor]] could take advantage of the situation... {{storylink|Source:Kingdom Golden Disk Collection#CHAPTER 3: ENTER THE MUTANT WARRIOR|''Golden Disk Collection'' Chapter 3}}

Terrorsaur, alive and protected from the quantum surge, allied with Tigatron to enact his plan to eliminate [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] and become the ruler of the Predacons via going into a transwarp drive in the [[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]] and changing history. After they located the Nemesis, the duo were ambushed by [[Puffer]], [[Jackpot (G1)|Jackpot]], and [[Sights (G1)|Sights]] starting a fight. During the fight, Terrorsaur dropped the [[Golden Disk (Vok)|Golden Disk]], and Tigatron raced to retrieve it. Tigatron, after touching the disk, regained his memories. Remembering his true allegiance, he helped the stranded Autobots defeat Terrorsaur. Tigatron then explained what happened to him and the situation at hand. Realizing that the oncoming quantum surge would still kill everyone regardless. Tigatron formulated a plan that involves going back in time to just before the surge, and then sending Puffer away from the blast. Ramming the Nemesis into the blast, the Nemesis absorbed a majority of it, enough to dilute the blast's power and allowing the timeline to go as planned, albeit sacrificing himself and everyone on the Nemesis on the process. {{storylink|Source:Kingdom Golden Disk Collection#CHAPTER 4: THE TERRORFYING CONCLUSION|''Golden Disk Collection'' Chapter 4}}

The Cybertronian who would become Tigatron was one of the many Maximal [[protoform]]s aboard the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]''. As part of their experiments, the enigmatic [[Vok]] activated five fallen stasis pods and experimented on the unborn protoforms within, and altered them into loyal servants. These "Children of the Vok" sought a naturalistic existence where they lived in harmony wwith the alien flora and fauna of their adopted homeworld; on behalf of their benefactors, the group hunted down and captured Optimus Primal and Megatron, whose war jeopardized the Vok's delicate experiments. Although Tigatron, acting as the group's spokesperson, explained that the Vok merely wanted them to leave, Megatron refused to negotiate and demanded an audience with the Vok. When Megatron and Primal subsequently used their own [[beast mode]]s to escape captivity, the Children of the Vok moved to stop them, and in the ensuing battle Optimus easily outpowered and disarmed Tigatron. {{storylink|Children of the Vok}}

To eliminate the Maximals and Predacons, [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and the [[Vok]] brought every crashed [[stasis pod]] they could find online and reprogrammed the protoforms within into more Vok servants. Tigatron joined in their all-or-nothing attack on the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]'' in an attempt to take out the Maximal-Predacon alliance for good. Eventually, however, the capricious Vok revealed themselves and announced that they planned to exterminate ''every'' Cybertronian on the planet and begin again, ignoring Tigatron's protests that they'd done as their benefactors asked. Eventually, when the Maximals and Predacons destroyed the Vok themselves, Tigatron and the other Children of the Vok agreed to a truce and left to live peacefully in the wilderness. {{storylink|The End (BW)|The End}}

In an alternate timeline created when Megatron sent a message through Transwarp back to his past self, Tigatron participated in a series of all-out battles with the other beast warriors.

After helping the Maximals defeat Megatron's Predacon forces once and for all, Tigatron decided that he, along with Airazor, would remain on prehistoric Earth, despite their comrades' urgings to join them on their journey back to Cybertron. Together, they remained on what they felt was their true place for the centuries to come.

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

: Part of the third wave of [[Hasbro]] ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Deluxes, the original Tigatron toy is a [[redeco]] of the original [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#Toys|Cheetor]] toy in cream, silver, and green, transforming into a fairly generic big cat in shape. His [[robot mode]] parts color layout is notably different from Cheetor's. In [[robot mode]], he is armed with a "quasar cannon" made out of his hindquarters and tail, along with a second [[Water-squirting gimmick|water-squirting]] "toxic fluid blaster" formed out of his stomach. This cannon is usable in both modes, but in [[beast mode]], it's awkward and just plain weird. As with most early ''Beast Wars'' toys, he features a "[[mutant head]]" that replaces his face.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version was released a year later, coincidentally also in the third wave of Takara's version of the line, in a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] bright white color, with his [[Paint operation|paint applications]] directly copied from Cheetor's layouts just as the show model had done. This version also has a slight [[Retool|mold tweak]] to keep the beast head pointed forward. Hasbro later released this version, complete with the original Takara packaging, as an import through the [https://web.archive.org/web/20001002100637/http://hasbrocollectors.com/product.cfm?product=2 Hasbro Collector shop]. Historically, this version of the figure is extremely susceptible to its white plastic [[photodegradation|yellowing]], to the point it will eventually match the color of its Hasbro version. So enjoy that.

: This mold was also used to make [[Shadow Panther#Toys|Shadow Panther]] and "[[Ravage (G1)/toys#ShadowPanther|Tripredacus Agent]]". It was slated to be used for ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Nightprowler#Toys|Nightprowler]], but that toy set was canceled.

:Released as the fiftieth figure in the main ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' lineup, Tigatron transforms into a white tiger and is larger than [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-34 Cheetus]]. He comes with his gut gun, as well as two accessories representing his actions in "[[Before the Storm]]": the cable he used to hack into the ''Darksyde''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s database, and an encryption puzzle in the shape of Megatron's head. The figure also comes with stand adaptors and a startling ''5'' alternate robot faces, rather that the usual 3 or 4. Tigatron also has an unprecedented set of ''double'' ab crunch joints, the first being an obvious collapsible one in the torso, and a second, much larger ratcheted one in the waist. Unfortunately, the second joint can go unnoticed due to a very strong ratchet, paint lock, or both. Slightly unscrewing the top two screws on the back of the waist can usually free up the second joint.

: Part of the fourth wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Voyager Class toys, Tigatron transforms into a somewhat realistic {{w|white tiger}} in 23 steps. He is larger than ''Kingdom'' [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Cheetor]] whilst sharing similar engineering. The 'gut gun' attaches to one of two [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] underneath his stomach, evoking the [[#Toys|original toy]]. The tail can detach and be held as a whip, though it can still store as a tail in robot mode. In an undocumented feature, his blaster can separate into two parts: the barrel and the base of the gun. Both parts are held together by 5 mm ports.

: Some of the yellowing found in various spots on the figure is an intentional attempt to emulate the off-white/partially discolored orange fur found on actual white tigers. Unfortunately, some copies of Tigatron still have areas that ''actually'' yellow over time, most notably the robot hips, pelvis, inner shoulder joints and rifle barrel. People have also experienced paint damage from the beast shoulders rubbing on cardboard when extracting the toy from packaging.

: Much like most of the toyline, Tigatron 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.

: Hasbro China officially revealed Tigatron on [[August 20]], [[2021]] at 8:00 PM on their flagship store on [[Taobao]].

:According to ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' toyline lead designer [[Mark Maher]], select elements of Tigatron's sculptwork along with that of ''Kingdom'' [[Airazor (BW)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Airazor]] were recycled ([[Fuzor|fused]], one might say,) via the magic of digital toy design into ''Legacy'' [[Tigerhawk#Legacy|Tigerhawk]] for fairly self-evident reasons.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL4YRFesAdo ''Transformers'' panel] with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Mark Maher]], [[Evan Brooks]], [[Takio Ejima]] and [[Thew Adams]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2023]].</ref>

: The third release in the [[War for Cybertron: Kingdom#Exclusives|Golden Disk Collection]], "Mutant Tigatron" is a redeco and retool of the above Voyager Class Tigatron. He features a new head emulating the mutant head of the original toy, and a primarily orange deco evoking a "normal" tiger (as well as the unproduced prototype colors for his ''Beast Wars'' figure).

:In celebration of the 25th anniversary of ''Beast Wars'', the original 1996 Deluxe Class Tigatron was reissued under the ''[[Vintage|Vintage Beast Wars]]'' lineup. Tigatron features all the same accessories and functionality as the original toy, and features a deco similar to the original Takara version of the toy, with the same bright white, but the cool gray paint applications on the legs, waist, and head swapped for a warm gray. The stripes are slightly different from those of the original ''Beast Wars'' toy, with many being juuuust the tiniest bit thicker or more wavy than they used to be.

:Much like ''Vintage G1'', Tigatron is packaged in a "rock bubble" blister card styled after the original ''Beast Wars'' toy packaging, [[package art]] and all. Also similar to ''Vintage G1'', the time disparity since the original release has the toy set at double the price of the toy's 1996 release, $22 versus $10, and at the same size class/price as the deluxe class [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#Vintage Beast Wars|Cheetor]] figure. This figure is exclusive to [[Walmart]] in the United States.

:*''Swapticons number'': '''5'''

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Swapticons]]'' two-packs, Tigatron transforms into the back half of a semi-organic/semi-robotic cheetah. While his nominal placement is as the back half of a full loaf-like robo-cheetah with his pack-in partner [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#Swapticons|Cheetor]], he can attach to any other Swapticon, front or back, to make whatever silly abomination you feel like unleashing.

: The cheetah mode's tail is removable, and is in fact separated in-package. While none of the Swapticons can hold the tail as a weapon, as they lack fist-holes, the attachment peg is 3 mm wide, which means quite a lot of smaller-scale ''Transformers'' toys can.

:This mold was also used to make [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Swapticons|Ravage]].

It is a non-converting figure based on his [[Mainframe Entertainment|Mainframe]] [[character model]], with 5 points of articulation (swivel neck, shoulders, hips), and includes his traditional "gut-gun."

: Tigatron comes packaged on a small cardback that mixes the design of the original ''Beast Wars'' packaging with some nostalgic elements resembling [[Kenner]]'s ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' action figures from the late 1970s to early '80s.

==Notes==
[[File:BWRConcept07.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Tigatron's control art. Note the extensive retooling from Cheetor that never happened.]]
[[File:Tigatron-orangetoy.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|C-L-E-M-S-OH CRAP!]]
[[File:Tigatron-packageart.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|He's armed with a cryo-freeze beam and a deadly raspberry-blowing tongue.]]
*The original concept art for Tigatron, shown in the "[[Beast Wars Reborn Golden Disc]]", shows that he was originally intended to be a [[retool]]ing of the mold, rather than a simple [[redeco]], changing his [[beast mode]] head and a lot of his [[robot mode]] parts (yet not the face), as well as giving him some kind of horrible tumor gun. Obviously, this didn't happen.
*The Tigatron shown at [[Toy Fair]] in 1996 and depicted in a Hasbro catalog accompanying said Toy Fair<ref name="tf1996cat">[http://obscuretf.com/hhk/USTF1996.html Hasbro Toy Fair 1996 catalog] at the Obscure Transformers Website.</ref> was cast in orange plastic instead of cream-colored, giving him a more "traditional" tiger look. The change to a "white" tiger has so far been unexplained, but the original color scheme is still present in his toy's [[package art]]. On top of that, his name was spelled "Tig'''er'''tron" in said Hasbro catalog.
**This coloration was later used for the comic-exclusive ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' incarnation of [[Cheetor (BWSG)|Cheetor]], and was also later reimagined in plastic as '''Mutant Tigatron''' in ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|War for Cybertron: Kingdom's]]'' ''Golden Disk Collection'', sculpted with the mutant head from the original toy.
*[[Bob Forward]]'s main inspiration for how Tigatron was written as a character was actor {{w|Iron Eyes Cody}},<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980702112145/http://www.transformers.org/bwz/fd2.htm TFFW.com September 1997 interview with Bob Forward] (archived)</ref> who had a career playing various Native American roles.
*Tigatron's beast mode may well have been female. His template animal was female, and while wild felines have size differences between males and females Tigatron and Snowstalker were shown as being the same size; indeed, they were for all intents and purposes identical, such that [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] thought Snowstalker ''was'' Tigatron. (Though to be fair, Waspinator is not the brightest crayon in the box.)
*In the Japanese dub of ''Beast Wars'', for the sake of humor, Tigatron was played as a "samurai" {{w|rōnin}} (to explain his wandering ways). He spoke in an archaic dialect, ending sentences with "de gozaru" (an honorific that eventually evolved into the modern "desu"). Additionally, since [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] was made male in the Japanese dub, "he" was presented as Tigatron's ward whom he looked to as a "brother" (hence the close bond). Eventually, after the events of "[[Other Visits (Part 1)|Other Visits]]", their romantic relationship was "outed" to the audience.
*An unused idea by [[Larry DiTillio]] was that the Vok ceased trying to destroy Earth because contact with Tigatron (after his abduction) made them question the morality of the tactic.<ref>http://www.camphortree.net/tf/tidbits/vok.txt Translation of relevant text from the book ''[[Beast Wars Universe]]''</ref>
*Tigatron's role in the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon was originally intended for [[Wolfang (Maximal)|Wolfang]].<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_frm/thread/9c79c4226fc6dd28/30c3cdf158ea6e52?lnk=st&q=bob+forward+beast+wars+tigatron+wolfang&rnum=1#30c3cdf158ea6e52 alt.toys.transformers]. The change was also discussed in the commentary track on one of the ''Beast Wars'' DVD releases.</ref>
*Tigatron's [[package art]] is one of a handful that features the toy's mutant head instead of the regular robot head, to rather hilarious effect.
*He has a [[Tigatron Stadium|stadium named after him]].
*Cheetor and Tigatron are the only characters in ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' who are definitely [[Scale|in the correct scale]] to the lifeforms they adopted as beast modes, as each is seen nearby real versions of the animals they mimic.
*Tigatron's animation model (and thus that of Cheetor's original body as well) is one of the comparatively more [[Show-accuracy|toy-accurate]] of the Season One cast. His transformation scheme, however, is simplified by having his arms and crotch-piece unfold from his beast mode's belly instead of its back.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Tigatron''' (タイガトロン ''Taigatoron'')<ref>Tigatron's Japanese name was rendered as '''Tigertron''' on card #006 of ''[[Beast Wars Collection Card (Takara)|Beast Wars Collection Card]]'', but TakaraTomy ultimately went with "Tigatron" for the Device Label figure. Both English spellings are possible Romanizations of the katakana.</ref>

:*''Takara ID number'': '''46'''
:*''Accessories'': Left & right fists, left & right "Radar Panels", "Full Spectrum Multi-Sensor", 2 "Twin Blasters", 2 missiles

: Released in the second year of [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' toyline, Hoist is a [[retool]]ing of 1984's [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Trailbreaker]], transforming into a green Toyota Hi-Lux pickup, only instead of a camper attachment, he has a large orange towing apparatus on his truck bed which can be used to "tow" other toys. In robot mode, he features a new head, which can still use the same "Full Spectrum Multi-Sensor" attachment Trailbreaker has. His forearms are spring-loaded missile launchers (though the springs were severely weakened to comply with US [[for safety reasons|safety regulations]] for projectiles), meaning either arm can sport either a fist or one of his chromed missiles or "Twin Blasters".

: His 1985 [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' release is nearly identical to the Hasbro version, only his missile launchers remain fully functional.

: The Mexican [[IGA]] release of Hoist retained the original Trailbreaker head, but cast in green plastic. Weird. The Mexican version has no white outlines on the caution stripes on the sides. While many IGA ''Transformers'' used lead-based paint (''yikes!''), since this was primarily limited to the yellow paint often used for "eyes", the Trailbreaker-head's red visor likely kept IGA Hoist free from this safety hazard.

: While the mold used to make Hoist was originally released in 1982 in Takara's ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline (thus the hatch on his roof for a Diaclone driver Hoist did not come with), the green-and-orange coloration was made specifically for ''Transformers''. The ''Diaclone'' "4WD Hi-Lux Wrecker Type" only came in [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)|red-yellow]] and blue-yellow (the latter only in a box set with the toy that would eventually become [[Crosscut (G1)|Crosscut]]), plus had "WRECKER" text on the side-panel hazard-stripe stickers that Hoist lacks.

He is a "flipchanger", meaning most of his transformation sequence is an [[autotransformation]], springing into robot mode by lifting a catch (in his case, his towing hook). His front grill/bumper assembly detaches to form a hand-held blaster.

: The "Wilk and Sons Towing" sticker is most likely a reference to Hasbro employee [[Brian Wilk]].<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Probably short and/or corrupted from John Boyce, another Hasbro designer with Brian Wilk, who is noted on Hoist.

He comes with a gun (sculpted after the larger missiles that came with the original Trailbreaker/Hoist toys) with three posts and a hole, allowing the weapon to be held and mounted in different ways.

: Originally developed by Hasbro Asia for release in their territories, Hoist was later released together with various other formerly "Asian market exclusive" toys as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in the United States for the 2012 holiday season.

: Two [[Slug figure|small, non-transforming figurines]] of Hoist, one in robot mode and the other in vehicle mode, based on his ''Generations: [[Thrilling 30]]'' Deluxe Class toy (see below), were packed in with the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2013 [[exclusive]] version of Titan Class [[Metroplex (G1)#SDCC2013|Metroplex]].

Similarly to the [[Decoy]]s of old, the Autobot figurines are cast in red plastic, and the Decepticons in purple.

{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the sixth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Hoist is a redeco/retool of [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Trailcutter]]. He has a new head with details drawn specifically from his appearance in ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye]]'', though as in that comic he doesn't share a body with Trailbreaker, the toy is otherwise inaccurate to his appearance there. He transforms into an off-road truck of made-up model with a towing arm. Instead of Trailcutter's truck bed canopy/shielded blaster, Hoist comes with a towing hook that can transform into a blaster, and peg via [[5 mm post]] onto any of his numerous ports.

: This version of the toy was redecorated into [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)#Toys|Lift-Ticket]]. The original tooling of this toy also served as the basis of the non-toy characters [[Flatline (G1)|IDW Flatline]], [[Turbofire#Wings Universe|''Wings Universe'' Turbofire]], [[Trailbreaker (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Trailbreaker]], and [[Lockdown (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Lockdown]].

: The American release comes packaged with a copy of [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[The Waiting Game|Spotlight: Hoist]]'', which non-diegetically draws Hoist fully based on this toy.

: The TakaraTomy [[Transformers: Generations (Japan)|''Generations'']] release of ''Thrilling 30'' Hoist is redecoed in colors closer to his original toy, featuring a darker shade of green plastic, a darker orange, and a blue windshield. He also has several additional [[paint operation]]s, including rear lights and a blue-painted visor (rather than the unpainted plastic of the Hasbro release). Hoist's yellow stripes were also changed to a darker orangey-yellow, and some of the black operations on his front bumper changed to silver.

: As part of the second wave of [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Micro-Changer]]s, Hoist is a [[Kreon]] patterned after Generation 1 Hoist. He can be rebuilt into a tow truck.

: This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight [[retool]]ing to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.

: In 2016, Micro-Changers Collection 2 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) The "hook" piece from the original version has also been replaced with a similar-but-different piece, as presumably the original element was no longer in production. Hoist's [[tampograph]]s also got a slight change, replacing the flat gray with black, changing his black Autobot symbol to red with a white outline, and changing his upper leg deco to yellow.

: Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

:*''Accessories'': Rifle

: A redeco/retool of ''Generations'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|Sergeant Kup]], ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Hoist is based on [[#Machine Wars|Hoist's ''Machine Wars'' body]], and has a new head that combines the elements of his own head and [[Electro]]'s. He transforms into a "retro"-styled Earth pickup truck of made-up model, and is covered in 3 mm rungs that are compatible with [[C joint]] clip-on weapons. There are two rungs on his backpack, plus two rungs each on his forearm kibble, and two on his lower back. The rifle can either plug into the underside of the truck, forming a second exhaust pipe, or clip onto the roof of the truck via a C joint. Interestingly, due to his transformation, Hoist's truck mode features a working tailgate.

:While the instructions correctly advise facing the forearm panels sideways or outwards and rotating the truck panels in robot mode. You can rotate them backward to make the forearms look more presentable, and the doors can remain untransformed for a better appearance. Although not mentioned in the instructions or the prototype/stock photos, Hoist's windshield and front hood can be pushed down further (as long as the hood is folded correctly) for a cleaner silhouette. Be aware that the joints holding the wheel may bump against the panels due to their somewhat limited clearance.

: In an [[Misassembly|assembly error]], Hoist's shoulders are on the wrong sides, preventing his arms from being lowered to his sides all the way.

: Hoist comes in a [[BotCon 2013]]-exclusive boxset with [[Skywarp (MW)#Timelines|Skywarp]], [[Strika (BM)#Timelines|Strika]], [[Obsidian (BM)#Timelines|Obsidian]], and [[Megaplex#Timelines|Megaplex]]. The original version of this toy, with the [[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|alternate head]], was used to make ''Generations'' [[Swerve (G1)#Generations|Swerve]], while this version of the mold was redecoed into fellow BotCon 2013 exclusive, [[Electro#Timelines|Autobot Electrons]].

{{toydesigner|[[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Hoist transforms into an Earth pickup truck with towing rig legally distinct from the Toyota Hi-Lux in 20 steps. As part of the new "[[A.I.R. Lock System]]" play pattern, his towing sled has a ramp/attachment point that allows it to attach to other compatible bases. His hand-cannon is designed to slip completely over and around either of his fists, replicating the cartoon's "gun-hand" design, with the peg being long enough to still work as a "[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]"-style gun mountable in vehicle mode (or most anywhere else 5 mm-compatible). In keeping with the ''War For Cybertron'' trilogy's concerns with cartoon-based scale, Hoist is one of ''Earthrise's'' tallest deluxe figures, standing just a little over Ironhide from the [[War for Cybertron: Siege|previous toyline]].

: Also pertaining to the previous toyline is Hoist's "battle damage" paint, featured on his chest/hood and the tops of his forearms. Due to the applied part being made of painted translucent plastic, the battle damage paint cannot be stripped from the chest/hood without damaging the color underneath.

: The toy's original stock render had his roof lights colored orange like the rest of his towing assembly, while the final toy has them cast in screen-accurate white plastic. Additionally, the door-windows are presented as a sky-blue color in the render, to better match up with the blue translucent plastic front window, while the actual toy has these windows painted in a non-continuous black.

: Like all ''Earthrise toys'', the inside of the back of Hoist's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Hoist's piece of the map contains the labeled location of the planet "[[Junkion (planet)|JUNKION]]".

: This version of Hoist was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)#Generations Selects|Lift-Ticket]] under the ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' banner, and was also [[retool]]ed into ''Earthrise'' [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Trailbreaker]] and ''Generations Selects/Legacy'' [[DK-3 Breaker#Legacy|DK-3 Breaker]]. The mold was also extensively retooled to make ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' [[Ratchet (Animated)#Age of the Primes|Ratchet]].

:He comes with multiple accessories, such as the alien mask from "[[Hoist Goes Hollywood (episode)|Hoist Goes Hollywood]]", the [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]]-esque arm he used to dig out his fellow Autobots in "[[Auto Berserk]]", the hammer he used to repair Dinobot parts in "[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1]]", and a spanner.

:It is currently unknown if Hoist suffers the same issues with Trailbreaker that would impede his shoulders articulation.

==Notes==
[[File:DiacloneHoist.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|Maybe one of them is the real "Moist"?]]
*Like all of the other 1984-1985 Autobot "cars", the first Hoist toy was originally from the Japanese ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline as a piloted mecha. The '''4WD Hi-Lux Wrecker-type''' (4{{ruby|WD|ダブルディー}}ハイラックスレッカータイプ), came in two different color schemes: red with black kneecaps and yellow wrecker-rig, or in blue with red kneecaps and yellow rig, which was available in a two-pack with the ''Diaclone'' toy that would become [[Crosscut (G1)|Crosscut]]. Yes, the green-and-orange coloration was made up specifically for ''Transformers''.
*The red version would later inspire the character [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)|Lift-Ticket]] while the blue version has yet to be used in the ''Transformers'' brand.
*A preliminary version of the G1 Hoist toy [[:File:Hoist-pre Toy Fair 1985 catalogue.jpg|in Trailbreaker-style black]] appeared in a catalogue.
*The ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Autotrooper (SG Knights of Unicron)|Autotroopers]] conspicuously sport Hoist heads on the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]] mold and at one point were intended to be the [[BotCon 2016]] troop builder set. [[Jesse Wittenrich]] and [[Pete Sinclair]] would eventually confirm that this Hoist tooling does actually exist as the alternate head associated with the figure's [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Trailbreaker retool]].

Talk:Hot Shot (Armada)/toys

Felipescado:

==Cybertron Defense Hot Shot variant?==
The Cybertron Defense Force Hot Shot I have in front of me has the panels covering the shoulder missiles swapped from the one in the picture (i.e., it's the same as the Springer release of this mold). However, I got it second-hand, and the panels are fairly easy to pull off and swap by hand, so I don't know if this is an actual manufacturing variant, or if the previous owner did it. Has anyone seen a boxed CDF Hot Shot where the panels are swapped? [[User:JW|JW]] 10:58, 29 July 2010 (EDT)
: Hmm, and, I note, the ''instructions'' for the toy have the panels in the same configuration as mine (tabs on the inside). [[User:JW|JW]] 11:07, 29 July 2010 (EDT)
: ''And,'' if you look at the panels in question, and the red machine guns on his bumper/top of shoulders, you'll see that they're lettered A for one shoulder, and B for the other. On mine, both of the left shoulder parts are A, and both right parts are B. So, on mine, either ''four'' parts were swapped (which is possible, I guess), or "tabs on the inside" is the correct assembly, and the toy in the pic on this page is a misassembled variant. [[User:JW|JW]] 11:15, 29 July 2010 (EDT)
: (Yes, I'm still investigating this.) It seems, in the cartoon, the tabs are clearly on the outside. So, A) my toy is missasembled, and B) the instructions have it wrong. "A" is the right shoulder. [[User:JW|JW]] 15:50, 29 July 2010 (EDT)

== Homages ==

From the Cybertron toy section:
:His design and transformation sequence are an homage to '''Volfogg''' from the Takara-produced ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave]]'' series, '''King of Braves GaoGaiGar''' and a partial homage to '''Dran''' from another Takara-produced series, '''The Brave of Gold Goldran'''.
...is any of that true? It sounds really Episode Page "references" Bullshitty to me. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 10:33, 4 January 2013 (EST)
:Here's [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W9IVnQrYySg/TtIIF78meFI/AAAAAAAAHFM/7vi_3Adnqa8/s1600/P1060940.JPG Volfogg] and here's [http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb61/Roanstalker/Goldran03.jpg Dran]. There are inarguably resemblances, particularly to Volfogg. On the other hand, a lot of guys transform something like that. As always, this fandom sees intentional homages in every resemblance, and I certainly don't know whether this one is one or not. -[[User:LV|LV]] 12:40, 4 January 2013 (EST)
::Claiming we can tell when a transformation scheme has been homaged (versus a character design) seems like opening a very bad door. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 12:47, 4 January 2013 (EST)
:::It's definitely similar to most Brave protagonists that turn into cars (Exkaiser, Da Garn, Deckard, Dran, Dag Fire, Volfogg and even Baan) but to pinpoint a specific one Hot Shot is homaging is ludicrous, at least not unless the toy's designers flat out point it out. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 14:23, 4 January 2013 (EST)

== Something wrong with captions ==

I think this caption:
Someone had to sell porn to afford this.
Doesn't sound too apropriate if children are reading.
:I don't believe that's ever been a particular concern of ours. -- [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] ([[User talk:Dark T Zeratul|talk]]) 14:55, 21 February 2015 (EST)
::We avoid obscenities, but "porn" is so not an obscenity. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] ([[User talk:ItsWalky|talk]]) 15:47, 21 February 2015 (EST)
:::ok

==Spare image==
[[File:Hotshotprotosuperjaam.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]
I mean it's slightly redundant, but also a bigger image, so? This was on the "Toy" page for reasons unknown. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 03:43, 2 March 2019 (EST)

==Edit Error==
tried editing the red alert link on the cybertron legends because it directed to the main red alert page, not the toy secction and it became red link, then i reverted the change...and still shows it a red link.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' "Super-Cons" (aka Deluxes), Hot Shot transforms into a modified yellow {{w|Audi TT}}. He is packaged with the [[Mini-Con]] helicopter [[Jolt (Armada)#Toys|Jolt]], who can peg onto the trunk of Hot Shot's vehicle mode to act as a rear-mounted "speed boosting" propeller. Jolt's massive gun plugs into Hot Shot's hood, releasing a pair of "driving claws" from his front bumper; these function as his feet in robot mode, so activating these is a necessary step in transforming him. When Hot Shot is in robot mode, attaching Jolt or any Mini-Con to the port on his butt flips his rear axle up over his head; pushing up on the port then rotates the axle to face forward, automatically launching a spring-loaded missile, a gimmick fans have dubbed the "Axlezooka". Hot Shot's visor can also flip down over his face, and Jolt's gun can attach to his chest as armor. Jolt's gun also has its own Mini-Con socket, allowing it to activate any Mini-Con activated features. Although the show featured Hot Rod wielding it himself in robot mode as a double-barreled blaster pistol, the lack of a single dedicated peg or handle left the toy unable to do so.

:"Hot Rod," [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''Legends of the Microns'' version of Hot Shot, was released in altered colors, with a more saturated yellow and some dark gray paint in places instead of navy blue. Additionally, more of the belt straps on his chest were painted silver, his pelvis was painted a darker red, and there was clearer paint on his Autobot symbol. A [[retool]] (or vice versa) of [[Hasbro]]'s Hot Shot, his right arm houses a light-up LED (for accommodating the translucent Star Saber sword) that glows when his side-view mirror is pressed, a feature that was dropped from the American version due to price-point concerns.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed for the [[#ArDxPx|"Powerlinx" Hot Shot]] version of the character (see below). That retool was scheduled to be [[redeco]]ed for ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' "[[Battle in a Box]]" [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)|Smokescreen]], but that set was canceled.

: A red, yellow, and black [[redeco]] and [[retool]] of the first Hot Shot, Powerlinx Hot Shot has a new head that has a more "serious" look, and his visor, sculpted directly into the new head, is no longer articulated. Intended to be an [[homage]] to "[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]" [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], he has a yellow spoiler and flames on his hood. Due to a factory error, his forehead is painted gray instead of left red. Later in the line, a running change granted Powerlinx Hot Shot with a cleaner faction symbol. Even ''later'' in the run, the forehead paint application was removed, but that particular version is extremely rare.

: The Japanese version, "Hot Rod Super Mode", fixed this forehead mistake, replaced the gold flames with yellow, painted the shoulder symbol more clearly, and retained the LED light-up arm the first Japanese version featured.

:This mold was scheduled to be [[redeco]]ed for ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' "[[Battle in a Box]]" [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)|Smokescreen]], but that set was ultimately canceled.

:Part of the larger-scale assortment of ''[[Built to Rule!]] Armada'', Hot Shot is a building-block set centered around a converting "Trans-Skeleton" that forms the core of either mode: his made-up sportscar mode, or his incredibly gangly and awkward robot mode. He has two spring-loaded missile launchers activated by rotating a 2x2 drum assembly on the tops. He also has a 2x2 "Powerlinx"-peg plate, which can hold any ''BTR'' or regular-type Mini-Con, though the grip on the latter is particularly loose. Oddly, this is the only ''BTR Armada'' kit that places this plate on the trigger mechanism of the missile launcher (at least, according to the [[instructions]]) to simulate the regular ''Armada'' line's Powerlinx-activated gimmicks.

: He comes with a building-block version of [[Jolt (Armada)#Built to Rule!|Jolt]].

: His 2x4 engine-block piece would later show up in some ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets.

: A Sam's Club [[exclusive]], the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' release of ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime basically swapped out all of its red plastic for a yellow-orange color, with a black "bandolier". He transforms into a Japanese-style fire truck of seemingly made-up design (but with the distinct divided front windows of a Mitsubishi Fuso K Series K201 ladder truck), the forward section of which truck detaches to become his standard [[robot mode]]. His '[[trailer]]' can be reconfigured into a sort of battle station, which can then be disassembled and attached around the robot to form his Battle Mode. For some reason, the Autobot symbol on his chest in Battle Mode is left unpainted. As an undocumented feature, Optimus Prime's pistol can be stored on the right side of a backpack.

: The toy incorrectly proclaims that Optimus Prime's transformation into super mode uses the code-phrase "[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|maximize]]". Additionally, the toy has the unfortunate tendency for its rubber tires to split down its molding connection. The ladder comes complete with missiles allowing them to be launched one-at-a-time via individual triggers. The standard [[robot mode]] has four pegs on its arms that happen to be sculpted in such a way that they can function as [[Mini-Con]] ports, though they weren't designed with this in mind, since the original toy coming out before the ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' toyline.

: He came packed in [[robot mode]] in an upright display package, which featured a sticker on the front with a hilariously mistransformed [[Omega Prime]], advertising the toy's combining ability with the simultaneously-released, slightly-redecoed Sam's Club exclusive ''Universe'' release of ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]].

: This Optimus Prime was also [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Yellow Splendid Convoy]]. The mold was also used to make [[Defensor (OTFCC)#Universe .282003.29|OTFCC Defensor]], but that toy ended up unreleased.

:In ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'', Hot Shot was updated as a modified yellow {{w|Aston Martin Vanquish}}. He can carry a transparent red spring-loaded missile-launching weapon in either mode, and features a small Autobot [[spark crystal]] on his chest on which [[Energon star|Energon chips]] can be mounted. Like nearly all other Autobots in the ''Energon'' line, he can [[powerlinx]] with like-designed toys to form the top or bottom of a super robot. Hot Shot's articulation is relatively limited compared to other deluxes of the time, having peculiar balljointed shoulders, as well as lacking knees and a neck.

:Takara released "Hot Shot" in similar colors, changing the slate blue plastic to a dark, nearly-black blue, dropping the black paint on his car roof, and adding metallic blue paint to his chest. His head is also an almost-identical-but-refined sculpt, most noticeably the proportions and sculpt sharpness of the mouth and chin, along with less bulbous eyes.

:Similar to the contemporary [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]] and ''Energon'' Optimus Prime, the Hasbro figure had a running change during its second wave of production. While the first wave Hot Shot figures had gray faces, later releases had silver painted faces using the Takara head sculpt, with a transitional silver-faced Hasbro headed version in between. Hot Shot's head sculpt appears to have changed ''very'' late in the design process from having a visor to having exposed eyes like his ''Armada'' version; The Hasbro head is pictured on Hot Shot's [[control drawing|control art]], as in a [https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B131dK6nhZY/XlKJ7-mBltI/AAAAAAAA8Zc/3rRC1mF0B5YQ8Gbr5WsAQHqwVYjejm5EQCKgBGAsYHg/s1600/TFE_Settei_2_0051.jpg ''photo of a prototype headsculpt is literally pasted over the original line art''], so the Hasbro head use may have been a consequence of tight deadlines, with Takara cleaning up the sculpt later.

:This mold was later redecoed to make the [[#EnDxEn|"Energon" powered-up version of the character]]. It was also [[retool]]ed to make the ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' incarnation of [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] and ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Nightbeat (SG)|Nightbeat]].

:In Japan, Takara released Hot Shot both individually and in a single "Super Link Set" with [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]]. Both toys are identical to their individual Japanese releases.

:''Energon'' Energon Hot Shot gave the car mode a silver-painted finish and the robot parts a dark blue, yellow, and red color scheme reminiscent of ''Armada'' Hot Shot's colors. Curiously, Energon Hot Shot switched back to the Hasbro version of Hot Shot's head (see above), meaning the Takara head was not a [[retool]], but an entirely separate mold.

:When he was released in Japan as "Hot Shot Fire," his car mode was unpainted silver plastic, while the yellow plastic was changed to a sherbet orange, the dark blue plastic to black, and the transparent orange plastic to a transparent crimson red. He also came packaged with the [[Energon weapon|Energy Cutter]], a transparent watermelon red redeco of [[Signal Flare (Energon)|Signal Flare]]'s [[energon weapon]], plus a matching [[Energon star|energon chip]]. Hot Shot Fire uses the Takara version of Hot Shot's head. Stock photos and packaging art showed Hotshot Fire with yellow plastic while the Energon Cutter and chip were crimson red, suggesting these deco changes were a late decision.

: Released in the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]/[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)#Takara Galaxy Force toyline|Galaxy Force]]'' toys, this version of Hot Shot transforms into a heavily modified blue {{w|Chrysler ME Four-Twelve}} sports car with a huge rear engine. Plugging a [[Cyber Key]] into the rear of the car deploys a pair of transparent yellow wings from his spoiler, a gimmick also available in robot mode. He also comes with a spring-loaded missile-launching gun that can be carried in robot mode or pegged into the roof of the car mode.

: His robot mode has numerous details in [[homage]] to [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], including the triple-pipe-guns on his forearms, the spoiler-wings on his back, and the sculpting of his shins and chest.

: The Takara release, "Exillion," is almost completely identical to the later Hasbro version other than a slight molding difference; two screws on either side of the spoiler are visible in the American release and all subsequent uses of the mold, but the original Japanese use of the mold had these screws buried. And, of course, the Hasbro release has a [[Cyber Key Codes|Cyber Key Code]] stamped on its back.

: Cybertron Defense Hot Shot transforms into a modified {{w|M1117 Armored Security Vehicle|M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle}}, in the same blue, navy, and red color scheme as the previous ''Cybertron'' Hot Shot. A Cybertron Cyber Key is included and when the key is inserted into the back of the turret, the two gun barrels open up into dual (non-firing) missile launchers. Compartments on his shoulders and his thighs can also open up to reveal additional missile launchers. Cybertron Defense Hot Shot also comes with a dagger that stows between his legs and sort-of acts as an exhaust pipe in vehicle mode, and when in robot mode, the dagger can be hand-held, peg into the front of his fist, or be stored on a sheath on his left leg. The same sheath can be used to store his Cyber Key in vehicle mode.

: The instructions for this toy contain some minor visual errors: his black shoulder panels have been swapped, and some steps apparently have him flipped (with the sword/key sheath on his left leg instead of his right).

: "Exigeyser", Cybertron Defense Hot Shot's Japanese counterpart, is completely identical, but also came with a cardboard standup depicting three [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]]. The American version of Cybertron Defense Hot Shot was at some point intended to have a slightly altered deco, which is shown in the [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of the packaging, but this altered deco for some reason never superseded the Japanese deco for American release. This unreleased deco featured mud splashes painted around the wheel wells and some re-arranged deco on the robot chest.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Springer (G1)/toys#Timelines|Springer]] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Roadbuster (G1)#Universe (2008)|Roadbuster]].

: Exillion Red Version is a redeco of the ''Cybertron'' Hot Shot toy in red, dark red, and orange, with transparent blue. Aside from the retooled screwholes, he's a straight-on color swap from ''Galaxy Force'' Exillion with the same [[paint operation]] layout. Limited to 500 pieces, it came with the first ''Galaxy Force'' DVD and an empty box set to prepare for the next few ''Galaxy Force'' DVD releases. This redeco took advantage of the toy's homage to ''Generation 1'' Hot Rod, completing the homage with appropriate colors, though the toy is still supposed to represent the Hot Shot/Exillion character.

: Before the toy saw official release, several stolen [[prototype|test shots]] entered the market, though in a [http://tfkenkon.com/collection/act368/ slightly altered color treatment] than the final. Originally, the dark red was a brighter red.

: This toy was the indirect inspiration for ''Cybertron'' [[Excellion (Cybertron)#Toys|Excellion]], who is marketed as a separate character, unlike this toy. (The direct inspiration, of course, being the original Hot Rod.)

:An update of his ''Armada'' form, Hot Shot transforms from a sleek yellow Audi TT-like hot rod sports car with transparent windows and headlights into a fully poseable robot. Jolt is able to attach via a Mini-Con peg on Hot Shot's shoulder, but this doesn't activate any features. Jolt plugs into Hot Shot's vehicle mode by pushing the arms/engines through slots under the spoiler; Jolt cannot fold so that his propeller faces back like the original toy. Additionally, Hot Shot's fist holes are smaller than the standard 5mm, making him incompatible with all weapons from his previous forms. Because there is no gap molded into the rear bumper to accommodate missile launchers (see below), the car kibble over his shoulders bumps together and cannot sit properly. He's also infamous for having a horribly finicky transformation, with his windshield, door, and roof pieces refusing to lock together and continually detaching from their proper position.

:Hot Shot's prototype featured transparent plastic on his side windows to match his windshield and rear window, but was replaced with painted opaque windows on the final toy.

:''Universe'' Hot Shot was [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed into ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' [[Hot Shot (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Hot Rod]]. The ''Henkei!

{{toydesigner|[[Mark Maher]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}<ref>[https://youtu.be/vuZHDR3ZBd8 Transformers Panel] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022]] Day 1 on the [[Hasbro Pulse]] YouTube channel.</ref>

: Part of the first wave of Deluxes in ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'', Hot Shot is based on the ''Armada'' version of the character and transforms into a yellow sports car, once again a close-but-not-quite-for-legal-reasons yellow Audi TT. He features a movable visor and includes an engine block gun like his original ''Armada'' toy, but unlike that toy, he does not include [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]]. However, he does have a single "Powerlinx" post in the usual spot on the back of his car mode in the middle of the spoiler, and yes, the [[Jolt (Armada)#Toys|original Jolt toy]] fits perfectly and can even do the propeller-back thing.

: Hot Shot's [[Evo-Fusion]] gimmick allows his Axlezooka to emerge from his back, though this time around, it is not spring-loaded in any way and must be manually pulled out. One of the hubcaps has a [[5 mm post]]-hole in it for plugging in [[fire Blast effect|blast effect]]s or other weapons to make it even more gloriously ridiculous; the tire is a separate part so it spins around the stationary hubcap. Due to his transformation, he can still do the "driving claws" thing in car mode, but again it's all manual, and he lacks the tread-pattern sculpting on his feet.

: Due to his vehicle mode being a car, Hot Shot was made to G1 character [[scale]] standards ([[Autobot Cars]] are Deluxes, [[Decepticon Planes]] are Voyagers, and so on), meaning Hot Shot doesn't adhere to an accurate [[Scale charts#Armada cartoon|''Armada'' cartoon scale]]. In ''Armada'', Hot Shot is the same height as [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] in [[robot mode]], so an accurately-scaled ''Legacy'' Hot Shot would have to be a Voyager Class figure, to match up with the other ''Legacy'' "Armada Universe" toys.

: This figure was revealed during [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022]].

: ''Legacy'' Hot Shot was redecoed and retooled to sport his Powerlinx colors and his classic gritted-teeth facial expression, and is further packed with a new-mold [[Jolt (Armada)#Legacy|Jolt]] (in his original orange, not Powerlinx yellow and black), two new rifles, and six stackable blast effect parts in orange for the first time! Jolt's design is based on his cartoon model and is a light orange to match the cartoon's coloring, though lacking the red accents. The two rifles reference specific weapons Hot Shot carried in the episode "[[Dash (episode)|Dash]]" and are gangmolded with Jolt, as is the new front half of his head.

: Part of the third Wave of ''Legacy United'' Deluxes, "Cybertron Universe Hot Shot" is an updating of his original ''Cybertron'' toy, blending both it and his animation model together, transforming into a blue sports car. His flip-out wings are cast in opaque red plastic, like on his ''Legends of Cybertron'' toy.

: He comes with his blaster, modeled after the original toy's spring-loaded missile launcher, but the "missile" is now a permanent gun barrel that ends in a [[Fire Blast effect]]-compatible peg. Like most ''Cybertron''-derived ''Legacy'' figures, he comes with an entirely non-functional Cyber Key, which means his originally-spring-loaded spoiler-wings must be folded out manually. His forearm panels can be removed as accessories, revealing a 5mm port underneath.

: Hot Shot was revealed on the [[April 25]] Hasbro Pulse fanstream, with pre-orders going live later that day.

: Hot Shot was later redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' [[Excellion#Age_of_the_Primes|Excellion]] (who else?).

*'''Hot Shot''' (Happy Meal, 2002)
**''Accessories'': Car roof (Asian market variant only)

:Released as part of the [[McDonald's]] Happy Meal ''Armada'' promotion, Hot Shot transformed from robot to yellow car. He had a Powerlinx post on each shoulder and Powerlinx ports under each foot, which enabled him to combine with the other McDonald's Autobots to form [[Mighty Robot]]. The ports on his feet can be used to access Mini-Con gimmicks on larger Armada toys, but since they're on the bottom of his feet in robot mode, it would be a pretty awkward fit on most figures. Hot Shot's vehicle mode also features a pull-back motor.

:[[File:Mcdonaldshotshot2.jpg|left|150px|thumb|An ''Armada'' Hot Shot with transparent windows? Gasp!]]
:In some Asian markets, a slightly different Hot Shot toy was available. The robot arms, now painted blue, did not form from the roof of the car; instead the roof was a separate transparent piece which detached during transformation and pegged into his robot mode's back. Additionally, the pull-back motor gimmick was removed and replaced with two smaller, non-geared wheels on the robot's back. The reason for this version's existence is not known.

This figure came in both full color and solid-pewter finish, packed one each in every case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: 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.

==Notes==
[[File:Hotshotprotocolor.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Transforms from car to linebacker and back!]]
*[[#ArDx1|''Armada'' Hot Shot's toy]] had to be completely re-engineered close to release. Due to a structural flaw (and gravity), Hot Shot's arms were not able to attach securely to his shoulders. Furthermore, designer [[Aaron Archer]] felt the early design's wide, football player-like physique was inappropriate to the character archetype.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Okay... ITs Not retooled. the picture is of a hand painted ROUGH model. None of these parts were ever "tooled". It changed for any number of reasons but since I worked on this guy last August I cant remeber all the reasons why. I remeber this... Hot shot is the young type character in Armada and I remeber we didnt like that he looked so tough, with those big shoulders.|name=Aaron Archer|site=TFW2005|year=circa 2002}}</ref> Last-minute changes were made to the design to rework the transformation of the arms, necessitating the dropping of some articulation and the addition of [[kibble]] elsewhere to compensate.
[[File:ArcherSays.jpg|right|150px|thumb]]
*''Armada'' Hot Shot's infamous grin was actually a misinterpretation of Aaron Archer's original concept art which depicted Hot Shot clenching his teeth together in an open-lipped, determined expression. The head of the original tooling had a maniacal, perhaps unhinged-looking smile in response to this concept art, so the grin was scaled back on the final toy. The grin was removed completely and replaced with a neutral, stern expression when the head was resculpted for [[#ArDxPx|Powerlinx Hot Shot]].
*The rear axle (the "Axlezooka") on the original Hot Shot figure has sculpted shock absorbers in an interesting display of attention to detail. However, they are sculpted 90 degrees in the wrong direction, which would make them useless in reality.
*[[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] was originally conceived as an exclusive toy for [[BotCon 2007]] from the [[#CyCDF|Cybertron Defense Force version]] of Hot Shot. While the mold does bear a decent resemblance to the IDW incarnation of Sentinel, he was dropped in favor of [[Springer (G1)/toys#Timelines|Springer]], who fit the mold and the story/theme better.
*An unused concept for a potential [[Botcon]] 2017 figure would've seen a new Hot Shot from ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Chromedome (G1)#Titans Return|Chromedome]] in ''Armada'' colors with [[Alexis Thi Dang]] redecoed from [[Stylor]] with a new head. It would've also come with [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]] [[Targetmaster]] partner redecoed from [[Blaze Master#Generations|''Generations'' Blazemaster.]]<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-images-of-concepts-and-customized-figures-from-fun-pub-at-petes-robot-convention-2017/39073/]</ref>

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' "Super-Cons" (aka Deluxes), Hot Shot transforms into a modified yellow {{w|Audi TT}}. He is packaged with the [[Mini-Con]] helicopter [[Jolt (Armada)#Toys|Jolt]], who can peg onto the trunk of Hot Shot's vehicle mode to act as a rear-mounted "speed boosting" propeller. Jolt's massive gun plugs into Hot Shot's hood, releasing a pair of "driving claws" from his front bumper; these function as his feet in robot mode, so activating these is a necessary step in transforming him. When Hot Shot is in robot mode, attaching Jolt or any Mini-Con to the port on his butt flips his rear axle up over his head; pushing up on the port then rotates the axle to face forward, automatically launching a spring-loaded missile, a gimmick fans have dubbed the "Axlezooka". Hot Shot's visor can also flip down over his face, and Jolt's gun can attach to his chest as armor. Jolt's gun also has its own Mini-Con socket, allowing it to activate any Mini-Con activated features. Although the show featured Hot Rod wielding it himself in robot mode as a double-barreled blaster pistol, the lack of a single dedicated peg or handle left the toy unable to do so.

:"Hot Rod," [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''Legends of the Microns'' version of Hot Shot, was released in altered colors, with a more saturated yellow and some dark gray paint in places instead of navy blue. Additionally, more of the belt straps on his chest were painted silver, his pelvis was painted a darker red, and there was clearer paint on his Autobot symbol. A [[retool]] (or vice versa) of [[Hasbro]]'s Hot Shot, his right arm houses a light-up LED (for accommodating the translucent Star Saber sword) that glows when his side-view mirror is pressed, a feature that was dropped from the American version due to price-point concerns.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed for the [[#ArDxPx|"Powerlinx" Hot Shot]] version of the character (see below). That retool was scheduled to be [[redeco]]ed for ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' "[[Battle in a Box]]" [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)|Smokescreen]], but that set was canceled.

: A red, yellow, and black [[redeco]] and [[retool]] of the first Hot Shot, Powerlinx Hot Shot has a new head that has a more "serious" look, and his visor, sculpted directly into the new head, is no longer articulated. Intended to be an [[homage]] to "[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]" [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], he has a yellow spoiler and flames on his hood. Due to a factory error, his forehead is painted gray instead of left red. Later in the line, a running change granted Powerlinx Hot Shot with a cleaner faction symbol. Even ''later'' in the run, the forehead paint application was removed, but that particular version is extremely rare.

: The Japanese version, "Hot Rod Super Mode", fixed this forehead mistake, replaced the gold flames with yellow, painted the shoulder symbol more clearly, and retained the LED light-up arm the first Japanese version featured.

:This mold was scheduled to be [[redeco]]ed for ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' "[[Battle in a Box]]" [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)|Smokescreen]], but that set was ultimately canceled.

:Part of the larger-scale assortment of ''[[Built to Rule!]] Armada'', Hot Shot is a building-block set centered around a converting "Trans-Skeleton" that forms the core of either mode: his made-up sportscar mode, or his incredibly gangly and awkward robot mode. He has two spring-loaded missile launchers activated by rotating a 2x2 drum assembly on the tops. He also has a 2x2 "Powerlinx"-peg plate, which can hold any ''BTR'' or regular-type Mini-Con, though the grip on the latter is particularly loose. Oddly, this is the only ''BTR Armada'' kit that places this plate on the trigger mechanism of the missile launcher (at least, according to the [[instructions]]) to simulate the regular ''Armada'' line's Powerlinx-activated gimmicks.

: He comes with a building-block version of [[Jolt (Armada)#Built to Rule!|Jolt]].

: His 2x4 engine-block piece would later show up in some ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets.

{{note|''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]]'s inner robot was officially (if comedically) [[repurposing|repurposed]] as an upgraded form for Hot Shot named "Shotimus Prime" by [[Hot Shot's Bot Thoughts issue 2|''Hot Shot's Bot Thoughts'' #2]].}}

: A Sam's Club [[exclusive]], the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' release of ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime basically swapped out all of its red plastic for a yellow-orange color, with a black "bandolier". He transforms into a Japanese-style fire truck of seemingly made-up design (but with the distinct divided front windows of a Mitsubishi Fuso K Series K201 ladder truck), the forward section of which truck detaches to become his standard [[robot mode]]. His '[[trailer]]' can be reconfigured into a sort of battle station, which can then be disassembled and attached around the robot to form his Battle Mode. For some reason, the Autobot symbol on his chest in Battle Mode is left unpainted. As an undocumented feature, Optimus Prime's pistol can be stored on the right side of a backpack.

: The toy incorrectly proclaims that Optimus Prime's transformation into super mode uses the code-phrase "[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|maximize]]". Additionally, the toy has the unfortunate tendency for its rubber tires to split down its molding connection. The ladder comes complete with missiles allowing them to be launched one-at-a-time via individual triggers. The standard [[robot mode]] has four pegs on its arms that happen to be sculpted in such a way that they can function as [[Mini-Con]] ports, though they weren't designed with this in mind, since the original toy coming out before the ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' toyline.

: He came packed in [[robot mode]] in an upright display package, which featured a sticker on the front with a hilariously mistransformed [[Omega Prime]], advertising the toy's combining ability with the simultaneously-released, slightly-redecoed Sam's Club exclusive ''Universe'' release of ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]].

: This Optimus Prime was also [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Yellow Splendid Convoy]]. The mold was also used to make [[Defensor (OTFCC)#Universe .282003.29|OTFCC Defensor]], but that toy ended up unreleased.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (Takara)}}

:In ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'', Hot Shot was updated as a modified yellow {{w|Aston Martin Vanquish}}. He can carry a transparent red spring-loaded missile-launching weapon in either mode, and features a small Autobot [[spark crystal]] on his chest on which [[Energon star|Energon chips]] can be mounted. Like nearly all other Autobots in the ''Energon'' line, he can [[powerlinx]] with like-designed toys to form the top or bottom of a super robot. Hot Shot's articulation is relatively limited compared to other deluxes of the time, having peculiar balljointed shoulders, as well as lacking knees and a neck.

:Takara released "Hot Shot" in similar colors, changing the slate blue plastic to a dark, nearly-black blue, dropping the black paint on his car roof, and adding metallic blue paint to his chest. His head is also an almost-identical-but-refined sculpt, most noticeably the proportions and sculpt sharpness of the mouth and chin, along with less bulbous eyes.

:Similar to the contemporary [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]] and ''Energon'' Optimus Prime, the Hasbro figure had a running change during its second wave of production. While the first wave Hot Shot figures had gray faces, later releases had silver painted faces using the Takara head sculpt, with a transitional silver-faced Hasbro headed version in between. Hot Shot's head sculpt appears to have changed ''very'' late in the design process from having a visor to having exposed eyes like his ''Armada'' version; The Hasbro head is pictured on Hot Shot's [[control drawing|control art]], as in a [https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B131dK6nhZY/XlKJ7-mBltI/AAAAAAAA8Zc/3rRC1mF0B5YQ8Gbr5WsAQHqwVYjejm5EQCKgBGAsYHg/s1600/TFE_Settei_2_0051.jpg ''photo of a prototype headsculpt is literally pasted over the original line art''], so the Hasbro head use may have been a consequence of tight deadlines, with Takara cleaning up the sculpt later.

:This mold was later redecoed to make the [[#EnDxEn|"Energon" powered-up version of the character]]. It was also [[retool]]ed to make the ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' incarnation of [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] and ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Nightbeat (SG)|Nightbeat]].

:In Japan, Takara released Hot Shot both individually and in a single "Super Link Set" with [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]]. Both toys are identical to their individual Japanese releases. Likely owing to a tight schedule, the image on the front of the box actually depicts the Hasbro figures, complete with bug-eyed Hot Shot in a deco lightly altered in post to closer approximate the Takara version.

:''Energon'' Energon Hot Shot gave the car mode a silver-painted finish and the robot parts a dark blue, yellow, and red color scheme reminiscent of ''Armada'' Hot Shot's colors. Curiously, Energon Hot Shot switched back to the Hasbro version of Hot Shot's head (see above), meaning the Takara head was not a [[retool]], but an entirely separate mold.

:When he was released in Japan as "Hot Shot Fire," his car mode was unpainted silver plastic, while the yellow plastic was changed to a sherbet orange, the dark blue plastic to black, and the transparent orange plastic to a transparent crimson red. He also came packaged with the [[Energon weapon|Energy Cutter]], a transparent watermelon red redeco of [[Signal Flare (Energon)|Signal Flare]]'s [[energon weapon]], plus a matching [[Energon star|energon chip]]. Hot Shot Fire uses the Takara version of Hot Shot's head. Stock photos and packaging art showed Hotshot Fire with yellow plastic while the Energon Cutter and chip were crimson red, suggesting these deco changes were a late decision.

: His robot mode has numerous details in [[homage]] to [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], including the triple-pipe-guns on his forearms, the spoiler-wings on his back, and the sculpting of his shins and chest.

: The Takara release, "Exillion," is almost completely identical to the later Hasbro version other than a slight molding difference; two screws on either side of the spoiler are visible in the American release and all subsequent uses of the mold, but the original Japanese use of the mold had these screws buried. And, of course, the Hasbro release has a [[Cyber Key Codes|Cyber Key Code]] stamped on its back.

: Cybertron Defense Hot Shot transforms into a modified {{w|M1117 Armored Security Vehicle|M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle}}, in the same blue, navy, and red color scheme as the previous ''Cybertron'' Hot Shot. A Cybertron Cyber Key is included and when the key is inserted into the back of the turret, the two gun barrels open up into dual (non-firing) missile launchers. Compartments on his shoulders and his thighs can also open up to reveal additional missile launchers. Cybertron Defense Hot Shot also comes with a dagger that stows between his legs and sort-of acts as an exhaust pipe in vehicle mode, and when in robot mode, the dagger can be hand-held, peg into the front of his fist, or be stored on a sheath on his left leg. The same sheath can be used to store his Cyber Key in vehicle mode.

: The instructions for this toy contain some minor visual errors: his black shoulder panels have been swapped, and some steps apparently have him flipped (with the sword/key sheath on his left leg instead of his right).

: "Exigeyser", Cybertron Defense Hot Shot's Japanese counterpart, is completely identical, but also came with a cardboard standup depicting three [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]]. The American version of Cybertron Defense Hot Shot was at some point intended to have a slightly altered deco, which is shown in the [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of the packaging, but this altered deco for some reason never superseded the Japanese deco for American release. This unreleased deco featured mud splashes painted around the wheel wells and some re-arranged deco on the robot chest.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Springer (G1)/toys#Timelines|Springer]] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Roadbuster (G1)#Universe (2008)|Roadbuster]].

: Exillion Red Version is a redeco of the ''Cybertron'' Hot Shot toy in red, dark red, and orange, with transparent blue. Aside from the retooled screwholes, he's a straight-on color swap from ''Galaxy Force'' Exillion with the same [[paint operation]] layout. Limited to 500 pieces, it came with the first ''Galaxy Force'' DVD and an empty box set to prepare for the next few ''Galaxy Force'' DVD releases. This redeco took advantage of the toy's homage to ''Generation 1'' Hot Rod, completing the homage with appropriate colors, though the toy is still supposed to represent the Hot Shot/Exillion character.

: Before the toy saw official release, several stolen [[prototype|test shots]] entered the market, though in a [http://tfkenkon.com/collection/act368/ slightly altered color treatment] than the final. Originally, the dark red was a brighter red.

: This toy was the indirect inspiration for ''Cybertron'' [[Excellion (Cybertron)#Toys|Excellion]], who is marketed as a separate character, unlike this toy. (The direct inspiration, of course, being the original Hot Rod.)

{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro), [[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:An update of his ''Armada'' form, Hot Shot transforms from a sleek yellow Audi TT-like hot rod sports car with transparent windows and headlights into a fully poseable robot. Jolt is able to attach via a Mini-Con peg on Hot Shot's shoulder, but this doesn't activate any features. Jolt plugs into Hot Shot's vehicle mode by pushing the arms/engines through slots under the spoiler; Jolt cannot fold so that his propeller faces back like the original toy. Additionally, Hot Shot's fist holes are smaller than the standard 5mm, making him incompatible with all weapons from his previous forms. Because there is no gap molded into the rear bumper to accommodate missile launchers (see below), the car kibble over his shoulders bumps together and cannot sit properly. He's also infamous for having a horribly finicky transformation, with his windshield, door, and roof pieces refusing to lock together and continually detaching from their proper position.

:Hot Shot's prototype featured transparent plastic on his side windows to match his windshield and rear window, but was replaced with painted opaque windows on the final toy.

:''Universe'' Hot Shot was [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed into ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' [[Hot Shot (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Hot Rod]]. The ''Henkei!

He includes the "W-5 Holo-Beam Refraction Blaster" and "RT-10 IR Electro-Scope Launcher," which are compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], and can combine to form the "HD Vector-Beam Mega-Blaster," or can be mounted onto his shoulder. The Refraction Blaster comes with a detachable ammo clip, which can be stored in the bed of the jeep. Unlike most ''Selects'' redecoes, Hot Shot features "battle damage" paint applications on his bullbar and shins. He also has multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:His vehicle mode has a sculpted winch, in the center of which is a hole. If some thread is fed through, this makes his winch somewhat functional.

:Hot Shot debuted from [[Entertainment Earth]] at [[New York Comic Con]] 2019, also sold online by [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the USA and Canada. In the latter country, he was also available at EB Games stores.

: Part of the first wave of Deluxes in ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'', Hot Shot is based on the ''Armada'' version of the character and transforms into a yellow sports car, once again a close-but-not-quite-for-legal-reasons yellow Audi TT. He features a movable visor and includes an engine block gun like his original ''Armada'' toy, but unlike that toy, he does not include [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]]. However, he does have a single "Powerlinx" post in the usual spot on the back of his car mode in the middle of the spoiler, and yes, the [[Jolt (Armada)#Toys|original Jolt toy]] fits perfectly and can even do the propeller-back thing.

: Hot Shot's [[Evo-Fusion]] gimmick allows his Axlezooka to emerge from his back, though this time around, it is not spring-loaded in any way and must be manually pulled out. One of the hubcaps has a [[5 mm post]]-hole in it for plugging in [[fire Blast effect|blast effect]]s or other weapons to make it even more gloriously ridiculous; the tire is a separate part so it spins around the stationary hubcap. Due to his transformation, he can still do the "driving claws" thing in car mode, but again it's all manual, and he lacks the tread-pattern sculpting on his feet.

: Due to his vehicle mode being a car, Hot Shot was made to G1 character [[scale]] standards ([[Autobot Cars]] are Deluxes, [[Decepticon Planes]] are Voyagers, and so on), meaning Hot Shot doesn't adhere to an accurate [[Scale charts#Armada cartoon|''Armada'' cartoon scale]]. In ''Armada'', Hot Shot is the same height as [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] in [[robot mode]], so an accurately-scaled ''Legacy'' Hot Shot would have to be a Voyager Class figure, to match up with the other ''Legacy'' "Armada Universe" toys.

: This figure was revealed during [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022]].

: Part of the third Wave of ''Legacy United'' Deluxes, "Cybertron Universe Hot Shot" is an updating of his original ''Cybertron'' toy, blending both it and his animation model together, transforming into a blue sports car. His flip-out wings are cast in opaque red plastic, like on his ''Legends of Cybertron'' toy.

: He comes with his blaster, modeled after the original toy's spring-loaded missile launcher, but the "missile" is now a permanent gun barrel that ends in a [[Fire Blast effect]]-compatible peg. Like most ''Cybertron''-derived ''Legacy'' figures, he comes with an entirely non-functional Cyber Key, which means his originally-spring-loaded spoiler-wings must be folded out manually. His forearm panels can be removed as accessories, revealing a 5mm port underneath.

: Hot Shot was revealed on the [[April 25]] Hasbro Pulse fanstream, with pre-orders going live later that day.

: Hot Shot was later redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' [[Excellion#Age_of_the_Primes|Excellion]] (who else?).

**''Accessories'': Car roof (Asian market variant only)

:Released as part of the [[McDonald's]] Happy Meal ''Armada'' promotion, Hot Shot transformed from robot to yellow car. He had a Powerlinx post on each shoulder and Powerlinx ports under each foot, which enabled him to combine with the other McDonald's Autobots to form [[Mighty Robot]]. The ports on his feet can be used to access Mini-Con gimmicks on larger Armada toys, but since they're on the bottom of his feet in robot mode, it would be a pretty awkward fit on most figures. Hot Shot's vehicle mode also features a pull-back motor.

:[[File:Mcdonaldshotshot2.jpg|left|150px|thumb|An ''Armada'' Hot Shot with transparent windows? Gasp!]]
:In some Asian markets, a slightly different Hot Shot toy was available. The robot arms, now painted blue, did not form from the roof of the car; instead the roof was a separate transparent piece which detached during transformation and pegged into his robot mode's back. Additionally, the pull-back motor gimmick was removed and replaced with two smaller, non-geared wheels on the robot's back. The reason for this version's existence is not known.

*'''Hot Rod''' (Big Transformers, 2002)

:[[Kabaya]] released a set of three separately-boxed ''Legends of the Microns'' figurines, dubbed "Big Transformers", which featured nontransformable, lightly-articulated plastic toys of Hot Shot, Megatron, and Optimus Prime. Each came with a tiny plastic representation of their respective Mini-Con partners in vehicle mode, which could peg onto them. Like most Kabaya toys, Hot Shot came with barely-edible gum.

Hot Shot was represented by a yellow Audi TT with decals of himself, the Autobot symbol, and the ''Legends of the Microns'' logo across the surface of the car. It also comes with a package of terrible gum.

Also contained in the capsule was an unpainted rubber figurine of a ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I.

: Part of the first assortment of ''[[Attacktix]]'' Booster Packs, Hot Shot is a "Super Rare" piece with a spring-loaded "shield-missile" attack. His Special Power "Rally" allows you to return one of your previously-defeated [[Autobot]] pieces back into play. The figure commonly has a black base, but like all Boosters, a rarer chrome-silver-base version was randomly packed into boxes as well.

: This mold was also used to make ''Attacktix'' Excellion, who was also a wave-1 Booster piece.

==Notes==
[[File:Hotshotprotocolor.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Transforms from car to linebacker and back!]]
*[[#ArDx1|''Armada'' Hot Shot's toy]] had to be completely re-engineered close to release. Due to a structural flaw (and gravity), Hot Shot's arms were not able to attach securely to his shoulders. Furthermore, designer [[Aaron Archer]] felt the early design's wide, football player-like physique was inappropriate to the character archetype.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Okay... ITs Not retooled. the picture is of a hand painted ROUGH model. None of these parts were ever "tooled". It changed for any number of reasons but since I worked on this guy last August I cant remeber all the reasons why. I remeber this... Hot shot is the young type character in Armada and I remeber we didnt like that he looked so tough, with those big shoulders.|name=Aaron Archer|site=TFW2005|year=circa 2002}}</ref> Last-minute changes were made to the design to rework the transformation of the arms, necessitating the dropping of some articulation and the addition of [[kibble]] elsewhere to compensate.
[[File:ArcherSays.jpg|right|150px|thumb]]
*''Armada'' Hot Shot's infamous grin was actually a misinterpretation of Aaron Archer's original concept art which depicted Hot Shot clenching his teeth together in an open-lipped, determined expression. The head of the original tooling had a maniacal, perhaps unhinged-looking smile in response to this concept art, so the grin was scaled back on the final toy. The grin was removed completely and replaced with a neutral, stern expression when the head was resculpted for [[#ArDxPx|Powerlinx Hot Shot]].
*The rear axle (the "Axlezooka") on the original Hot Shot figure has sculpted shock absorbers in an interesting display of attention to detail. However, they are sculpted 90 degrees in the wrong direction, which would make them useless in reality.
*[[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] was originally conceived as an exclusive toy for [[BotCon 2007]] from the [[#CyCDF|Cybertron Defense Force version]] of Hot Shot. While the mold does bear a decent resemblance to the IDW incarnation of Sentinel, he was dropped in favor of [[Springer (G1)/toys#Timelines|Springer]], who fit the mold and the story/theme better.
*An unused concept for a potential [[Botcon]] 2017 figure would've seen a new Hot Shot from ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Chromedome (G1)#Titans Return|Chromedome]] in ''Armada'' colors with [[Alexis Thi Dang]] redecoed from [[Stylor]] with a new head. It would've also come with [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]] [[Targetmaster]] partner redecoed from [[Blaze Master#Generations|''Generations'' Blazemaster.]]<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-images-of-concepts-and-customized-figures-from-fun-pub-at-petes-robot-convention-2017/39073/]</ref>

Tankette

Felipescado:

:''Tankette is an [[Autobot]] drone from the [[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Legends Tankette.jpg|thumb|300px|Pronounced the Italian way.]]

'''Tankette''' (タンケッテ) is [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]]'s loyal [[Partner Drone]] who can transform between a tank or jet for his smaller self to ride and a weapon for his [[transtector]] to wield. Although a drone, she's intelligent and capable of speech and displays an energetic and helpful personality.

==Fiction==
===''Legends'' comic===
Tankette was created in conjunction with Hardhead's new transtector, built as part of a partnership between the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] and the [[Axalon Trading Company]]. She first introduced herself to [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] who, having complained about not getting his transtector yet, was told to ride her into battle instead. Crewed by Chromedome and [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], she contributed with her weapon mode when Hardhead tried to fight off an incoming meteor, though her blasts were ineffective. After Hardhead injured himself destroying the meteor with a headbutt, Tankette looked after him. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 21|Bonus Edition Vol. 21}} Tankette carried Chromedome into battle with [[Skullcruncher (G1)|Skullcruncher]], only to have Skullcruncher's own drone, [[Butla]], snatch him off of her. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 22|Bonus Edition Vol. 22}}

Tankette cheered Hardhead on when he performed in a concert. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 27|Bonus Edition Vol. 27}} She was with him and Chromedome when they went drinking after work, and dragged the two drunks back home after they were knocked out by [[Rarigo]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 30|Bonus Edition Vol. 30}} [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] would later comment that Hardhead had calmed down a lot after "getting married", referring to Tankette. She then carried Hardhead into battle during a fight between Fortress Maximus and [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 31|Bonus Edition Vol. 31}} She helped defend the Autobot-Axalon base when the [[Astroforce]] attacked, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 40|Bonus Edition Vol. 40}} and later watched as Hardhead performed maintenance on his transtector. {{storylink|LGEX Headmaster Set Chapter}}

Tankette helped build a new [[Godbomber]], {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 42|Bonus Edition Vol. 42}} and was hanging out on Maximus's city mode following the reconstruction of [[Akihabara]]. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Prologue}} When Hardhead left the office life to set up [[Hardhead's|a bar]], Tankette worked with him as a bartender. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 59|Bonus Edition Vol. 59}} She bore witness to [[Majin Zarak]]'s arrival in the [[Legends World]], {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One|Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One}} and when said world was destroyed, she traveled to the [[G1 World]] where she fought the [[Laser Beast]]s alongside Hardhead. {{storylink|The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 1}}

She transforms from a tank to a plane which Hardhead's Headmaster unit (or any other Titan Master/Headmaster figures) can ride on/combine with, and has a [[5 mm post]] that folds out to become a weapon for larger figures.

: Unlike most of the ''Titan Master'' vehicle accessories, Tankette's gun mode handle does not seem to easily pop off when wielded by many 5mm-compatible closed hands.

:This [[redeco]] of [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'']] [[Starscream (Armada)/toys#LOC|Starscream]] appeared pretty much out of the blue one day, when, without fanfare, it was offered as a promotional giveaway in the United Kingdom to those who purchased the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'' video game from [http://www.shopto.net ShopTo.Net]. He transforms into a Cybertronic jet fighter and features hidden weapons in his wing-sections/biceps: the right arm hides a blade, while the left arm has a non-firing cannon.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the first wave of ''[[transformers: Prime (toyline)#First Edition (2011)|Prime: First Edition]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Starscream transforms from a jet resembling a {{w|General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon}} into a skinny robot and back! He comes with two missile pod accessories that can either attach onto tabs on the underside of his wings, or onto the rear wings on his arms in [[robot mode]]. Additionally, he has a [[5 mm post|5mm peg]] hole that goes through each arm, both of which become the sides of his jet mode tail. Since the tail stabilizers fold into the sides of the tail to become the arms, the hole isn't very deep in robot mode unless you leave these fins folded out.

:Undocumented in either of his [[Hasbro]] and [[TakaraTomy]] [[instructions]], Starscream has a couple of features that help make him slightly more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]]: he has a deployable winglet on the back of each of his legs, and his large wing kibble can tilt slightly upward.

:Some units have the head aerial deformed in-package due to being made of soft plastic. This is due to friction preventing it from hinging back. The aerial is supposed to fold back along the head for transformation, but can be tough enough to get in place due to simply flexing instead of changing position. His knee spikes also tend to deform.

:As with all Hasbro-release "First Edition" toys, a cardboard stand is included. The Takara release omits the stand in order to fit the toy into the bubble in robot mode, it also features black plastic and matching paint applications instead of the very dark blue of the Hasbro release.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed/redecoed to make [[TakaraTomy]] ''[[transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Skywarp (WFC)#Prime|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (WFC)#Prime|Thundercracker]], and was differently retooled to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Slipstream (WFC)#Timelines|Slipstream]].

{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

:Part of the first wave of ''Prime'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 2|Series 2 Cyberverse]] Commander Class toys, this smaller-scale Starscream is cast partly in translucent plastic so that the toy can be lit using the electronic lights featured in the larger playsets. He also comes with two translucent "missile cannon" weapons that can peg in various ways onto Starscream and each other via their numerous [[C joint|3mm posts and ports]].

:Starscream's arms can separate from the nosecone fuselage on the elbow joint for greater show-accuracy, if you ignore the giant jet pieces hanging off his arms. He features a small, almost irrelevant partial autotransform gimmick: When his shoulders are swung out into place, his head moves out a little bit, allowing you to swing the head into position easily.

:The Hasbro release comes with a pack-in file card. In addition to the regular version, Starscream was also released in a special "advance release" assortment alongside [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Cyberverse|Optimus Prime]], [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Cyberverse|Bulkhead]] and [[Megatron (WFC)#Cyberverse|Megatron]], with each figure including a mini-DVD that contains the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' episode "[[Masters & Students]]".

:Oddly, his weapons are cast in a significantly more flexible (and also more creamy and less translucent) plastic than the ones that come with his Hasbro counterpart. In addition, the ridge on the forehead is slightly thicker and thus less pointy. [[For safety reasons|Usually, it's the other way round.]]

:Unfortunately, because of how the figure is packaged, most Starscreams in this set had rear tail fins bent in-package. It also had a tendency to [[Photodegradation|slightly green over time]].

He now comes with the "[[Thunder Talon]]", a massive claw-like weapon which can mount via 3mm post, and launch its "claw" as a [[missile]] via pressure-launch.

*'''Bumblebee vs. Starscream: Ultimate Opponents''' (Entertainment Pack, 2012)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missile pods

:This Deluxe Class ''[[transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Starscream is a [[redeco]] of his First Edition release in lighter gray plastic with several purple highlights, possibly intended to represent his powering up with [[Dark Energon]] in the episode [[Shadowzone (episode)|"Shadowzone"]]. Unlike the original release of this mold, this version features [[paint operation]]s on its soft plastic parts, such as his forehead crest and missile-tips.

:Starscream came packed-in with a redeco of First Edition [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#EntertainmentPack|Bumblebee]], [[Slug figure|small unarticulated figurines]] of [[Silas#Prime|Silas]] and [[MECH Commando|a MECH soldier]], as well as a DVD containing the episodes "[[Convoy (episode)|Convoy]]", "[[Sick Mind]]", and "[[Out of His Head]]". The two-pack was also available in Australian markets virtually unchanged, except the DVD was replaced with a booklet including short (and by that, we mean one sentence) [[bio]]s as well as [[Tech Spec]]s for [[Breakdown (WFC)|most]] [[Airachnid (Prime)|of]] the characters.

:The [[stock photography]] on the packaging depicts Starscream's cockpit and abdomen as translucent, and with the stripes on his wings being on the leading edges instead of their final placement.

:Part of the second wave of ''Prime: Robots in Disguise'' Voyager Class toys, Starscream now comes with two missiles, as well as a missile pod attached to a half-translucent base of random parts, both of which can be mounted (via 5 mm posts) behind his canopy/on his back, or onto his wings, arms, and hands. Additionally, the missile pod itself features a peg-hole on each side, and his wings each feature a [[Mini-Con]]-compatible peg. The missile pod transforms into his "null-ray blaster", all while being illuminated by a red LED as a sort of "Energon glow". As with other Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, the deployed weapon cannot lock into place.

:His prototype stock photography depicts additional [[paint operation]]s on the wings and vertical stabilizer that were omitted in the final product. His [[instructions]] and stock photos also incorrectly show his completed robot mode's shoulder-pads as being left flipped-up, despite the instructions telling [[you]] to flip them down ''just a few steps before''.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] release, which was part of the fourth wave of ''Prime'' product in Japan (despite his ID numbering placing him ''before'' toys released in the third wave), loses many of his detail-based [[paint operation]]s, replacing them with customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s. Instead of the light-up cannon-thing, he comes with the Arms Micron [[Guru]], a robotic eagle that transforms into a bladed plasma weapon.

:Part of the second wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' toys, Starscream transforms into an armored fighter jet resembling a heavily-modified General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon.

It features a 5mm peg on its underside and on the tail-end, allowing the weapon to be held/mounted in different ways, as well as store on his back. The weapon also features places to mount the missiles onto, with a pair of slots on its top and underside, as well as a pair of tabs on top. The slots also allow the weapon to be mounted onto the underside of the jet mode.

{{toydesigner|[[Aaron Archer]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the third wave of [[2012]]-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Starscream transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter, in particular his high-speed mode. He comes with two spinning, triple-barreled "assault 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 ''Fall of Cybertron''. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5 mm 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.

:In an undocumented feature, Starscream's tail-fin is attached via a 5 mm 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'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. He was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity#The Chosen One|Generation 1 Starscream]] in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comic series.

*'''Army Starscream''' (Kreon Warrior, 2015)
**''Set number'': '''B0945'''
**''Series'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand-plate, 2 clip-on rifles

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Kreon]] Warriors, Starscream has been re-imagined as if he was part of a World War I era fighting force, with prop-plane vehicle kibble deco and an old-timey leather pilots' helmet and goggles (originally used by ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]]'' [[Crosshairs (AOE)#Kre-O)|Crosshairs]]). His face deco (like all of the Kreon Warrior Starscreams) is very, very ''Prime'' Starscream, even if his colors owe more to the [[Starscream (G1)|original Starscream]].

: 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.

: 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.

His sais are clipped to his arms by a pair of small double-clips, evoking his arm-cannons, while his bladed straw hat (originally from the [[Hard Master]] Kreon in the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I.

**''Japanese release date'': October 2016 (Toys"R"Us exclusive version), [[November 26]] 2016 (TAV62 version)
**''Accessories'': 2 rifles

:Warrior Class Starscream transforms from robot to Cybertronian fighter jet. He comes with two rifles with 5 mm posts which can be hand-held, mounted on his forearms (as small null-rays), or mounted under his wings. The small tabs on top of the guns also allow them to fit into the slots on his shoulders, which can each hold both guns at once. The fandom knew ''nothing'' about the existence of this toy before it suddenly appeared at retail—something that basically never happens in the modern era.

:His scannable Decepticon insignia is on his left shoulder. Scanning the badge temporarily unlocks that toy as a playable character in the ''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game, and can only be scanned once per day. While accessible in Robot Mode, the badge is impossible to be scanned in vehicle mode.

: Starscream was initially released in mid-2016 as part of the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive ''Clash of the Transformers'' subline imprint (though oddly co-branded as part of the ''Mini-Con Weaponizers'' subline imprint, which was also used for non-exclusive releases), but was later re-released in late 2016/early 2017 as part of the general retail Warrior Class assortment, now branded as part of the ''Combiner Force'' subline imprint. The only difference with the original release is a new sticker badge: scanning it now unlocks eight Ultra Sparks and two tickets for [[Cryostase]] to unlock a random character.

: In Japan, Starscream saw two releases under TakaraTomy's ''Adventure'' line as well: The first version was also available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive under the ''Clash of the Transformers'' subline imprint, with no differences compared to the Hasbro release other than the obligatory different scan badge. The packaging used the same cardback as the Hasbro version, but featured a different cardboard name insert and covered half of the back of the card with a Japanese language sticker. The second release, which came out merely a month after the exclusive version, was given the new designation "TAV62" and was sold at general retail under the ''Prime of Micron'' subline imprint. Unlike all the other releases, this version features additional paint operations to more closely match his appearances in the cartoon.

: This sculpt was also used to make [[Skywarp (WFC)#Robots in Disguise (2015)|Skywarp]], but shockingly, was not made into a [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]].

:Released as a Toys"R"Us exclusive under the ''Clash of the Transformers'' subline, Power Surge Starscream is a Voyager-sized figure that transforms from robot to fighter plane and back in just a few steps. He also comes with [[Lancelon]], a Mini-Con that transforms into a sword and can also be worn as chest armor for Starscream. Power Surge Starscream also features a voice gimmick, activated by pressing down his head. Voice lines include:

:*"No one can stop me now!"
:*"Decepticons Unite!"
:*"Mini-Con Power Up!"
:*A flying sound effect.

:When you leave the toy idled for several seconds, he will play a transforming sound accompanied with a flying sound effect.

:As with the Warrior Class figure, his scannable Decepticon insignia is on his left shoulder, accessible when in-package.

:The ''Adventure'' release of the toy, released under the name '''Hyper Surge Starscream''', features some show-accurate paint details, and a different insignia sticker which is compatible to TakaraTomy's ''Transformers Chronicle'' app. The Hasbro version of the toy was ''also'' released as a Toys"R"Us Japan exclusive, with no changes on the original deco with an exception of the badge.

:Part of the first wave of Combiner Force Legion Class figures, Starscream changes from fighter jet to robot in a few steps. While otherwise a completely new figure, his arms are borrowed from Legion Class [[Windblade (RID)#Legion|Windblade]]. He features 3mm port compatible hands, allowing him to wield ''Cyberverse'' weapons. For some reason, his nose cone has been completely covered in the same light blue as his shoulders and feet, presumably to better match the small hinge that connects it to his body. He is decently articulated for a Legion class figure, but lacks forward movement at the shoulder. He features a scannable badge on his left wing, impossible to access in-package. Instead of unlocking the character, his badge only gives a few Ultra Sparks and two tickets.

:There are a few differences between the CG stock photos and the final product: the joint that attaches the cockpit is now replaced with the same unpaintable turquoise plastic used for the majority of the joints and arms, and the feet feature slightly more paint.

:Part of the 3rd wave of ''[[Studio Series]] Gamer Edition'' Voyagers, Starscream is based on his appearance in the ''War for Cybertron'' video game and transforms into a Cybertronian jet in 27 steps, in particular based on the jet's "hover" mode. Though accurate to the CAD model used, the hover mode's tail fins should be angled outward per the game itself. He also a lacks the Decepticon symbol on the jet's rear that could be prominently seen during gameplay. Due to it storing his head and neck for transformation, this figure features a notably larger cockpit than the in-game model.

:He comes with a mace and a [[Fire Blast effect]]-compatible Null-ray. Like other ''Gamer Edition'' figures, his right forearm can be detached to equip the Null-ray or other ''Gamer Edition'' weapons.Unfortunately, there is no storage for the detached arm. Following feedback from previous figures, the Null-ray also has a [[5 mm post]] to allow it to be held normally, though the ''very'' short length of the post can make it difficult for other figures to hold. For some reason, the very bottom of the mace's handle features a nonstandard 4mm post that goes unused. Both weapons can store on his back in robot mode and on the rear of the jet mode. Starscream's collar pieces are packaged with the shaft of his mace and are user-assembled.

:Coincidentally, Starscream can also wield his [[#Generations|''Generations'' figure's]] Neutron Assault Rifle using the ''Gamer Edition'' arm gimmick as the rifle's combined mode sports a 5mm port.

:Likely due to how he is packaged, most copies of Starscream have slightly warped mushroom pegs on his wing assemblies; this results in the wings not sitting flush with the back in robot mode but otherwise has no effect on the figure. His instructions use an unusual dark burgundy color rather than the typical Decepticon purple.

:Starscream was revealed alongside the rest of the first wave of 2024 Studio Series product at MCM London 2023. He was redecoed with a new weapon into [[Skywarp (WFC)#Studio Series|Gamer Edition Skywarp]].

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Arceemovie.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|She's got legs, she knows how to use them. Temporarily, anyway.]]
Originally a member of the Autobots' science team, '''Arcee''' never stood out as being the "soldier" type until the war broke out. Though small compared to many of her peers and adversaries, she compensates with speed and aggressive maneuvers. Quickly developing hunter skills to be reckoned with, Arcee became one of the most dangerous Autobots around.<ref>''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'' trade paperback bonus material</ref> She is a crack shot with her crossbow weapon, and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] has trained her to use her speed to her advantage in battle, striking suddenly and swiftly and then vanishing away again as fast as she appeared.

The events at [[Tyger Pax]] created a nagging doubt in Arcee about her abilities. She carries some guilt about [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s injuries, and part of what drives her is the desire to prove herself, not only in the optics of her friends, comrades, and even her sisters [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]], but most importantly in her own.

For a time, Arcee used experimental technology that allowed her mind to control ''three'' bodies at once! When two of these bodies were destroyed, she stayed out of sight to adjust to the return to single-body status.<ref>Hasbro's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/characters/arcee Vector Sigma: Arcee profile]</ref>

{{note|The film goes into no detail on whether or not Arcee is one entity, or three separate beings. See [[#Notes|Notes]] at the bottom of this article for a thorough dissection; for the purposes of this section, all three bike-bots are collectively referred to as "Arcee".}}

Arcee was held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, Arcee pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in her way, but ultimately, none of her three components were able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and he quickly put the Decepticon down.

While not on missions, Arcee was parked with the other Autobots in their hangar at [[Diego Garcia]]. It was here that the Autobots received word from the [[President of the United States]], via [[Theodore Galloway|Director Galloway]], that the White House was concerned that the Autobots' living on Earth was the reason for the Decepticon activity, and that if need be, they would ask the Autobots to leave. Later, after Optimus Prime died in battle and [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia.
[[File:ROTF Arcee shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Michael Bay displays his usual attitude towards women.]]
NEST had a different idea, and instead shipped Arcee and the other Autobots to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, Sam and Mikaela attempted to make their way through the bombed-out Egyptian town that had become the battlefield. Arcee arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to escort them through the warzone, but unfortunately, two of her bodies were shot down by enemy forces, with only the blue component remaining operational when last seen. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Arcee was among the Autobots fending off a wave of Decepticon forces led by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], where Arcee tried to contact the capital of the last remaining Autobot city for reinforcements only to fail in establishing a connection. She was eventually ordered to retreat by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

[[File:Foudnation2 ArceeChromiaElita.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Arcee lived in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] with her sister Chromia, while their eldest sibling, Elita-One, became a follower of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Following Sentinel's successful unification of the warring tribes of Cybertron, Arcee and Chromia came to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to hear his speech for the future. It was announced that the planet would be governed by a [[Science Division]] headed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and a [[Defense Force]] led by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]; while Chromia elected to join the latter, Arcee, intrigued at the prospect of investigating the legacy of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], signed up with Optimus's team. The Science Division began an archaeological excavation of the area around [[Simfur]], uncovering a strange object that they believed to be connected to the Dynasty. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

[[File:Defiance1 Arcee vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"I transform into a vacuum cleaner!"]]

Some time later, while Optimus was showing Megatron around their work, Arcee's team discovered a mysterious relic with a [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] etched into it. She led her superiors to the ancient relic and watched as Megatron and Optimus began to argue when the former demanded the relic be relocated to his private quarters, with Optimus relenting due to a sudden alien attack. Arcee assisted with its evacuation from the dig site. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

After the attack, Arcee tried to save the life of one of the aliens, but was unsuccessful. She and [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] moved the bodies to [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s lab, where they discovered that the beings were similar in structure to the Cybertronians, only lacking the ability to [[transformation|transform]]. Before they could speculate further about the common ancestry of the two races, [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]] arrived with orders from Optimus to assemble at the Simfur excavation site for a meeting. There, Arcee and the other scientists learned of Protector Megatron's demand for war and Optimus's thoughts on the issue. After most of the scientists agreed to follow Optimus, they travelled to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to watch Megatron deliver his saber-rattling war rally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

[[File:Foundation4Arceechromiaknockeoutbymegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|That's not how you treat 2 ladies, Megatron.]]

Ratchet, Arcee and Elita-One returned to the lab to analyze the other relic fragments recovered from the Simfur excavation, while Optimus, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] broke into Megatron's quarters to examine the intact relic. Before Optimus could explain to Ratchet the strange condition of the artifact, Arcee reported finding a symbol that appeared in the same place on all the different fragments: the same symbol that was on Optimus's head. Ratchet theorised that the legend of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] was true, and that Optimus was somehow connected to all of this. Later, at the dig site near [[Burthov]], Arcee, Ratchet and Optimus were arrested by Prowl's security forces on orders from Megatron for treason. What they didn't know was they were all being led into a trap, and the assassins Megatron sent would only take Optimus alive. After [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]'s initial attack, Optimus ordered the group to escape to Burthov while he took care of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and his soldiers. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}{{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

Arcee was part of the team who captured the disenchanted soldier [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and brought him before Optimus Prime. Ironhide pledged allegiance to Prime and brought news of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', a massive starship that Megatron was building. While observing its construction and taking images of the ship, Arcee remarked that she had never seen its like before. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} From [[Tyger Pax]], she witnessed the departure of the ''Nemesis'' with the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

[[File:MoviePrequel1 Arcee Bumblebee.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"Can I say something?" "Whatever it is, now is not the right time!"]]

During the subsequent civil war, Arcee defended civilians who were being targeted by Megatron's Decepticons for refusing to join in the war against Optimus Prime's Autobots. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As the war raged on, Sentinel invented a "[[pillar|torch]]" that he promised would end the war, which required the [[AllSpark]] to be activated. Arcee and Chromia flanked Ironhide at the lead of the assault on Simfur Temple. As the battle raged, Arcee and Chromia were swatted aside by Megatron, but Optimus attacked, allowing Elita to activate the torch and deliver it to Sentinel. Sentinel arrived in the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], but Starscream blew up the ship. Ironhide picked up Arcee and Chromia as the Autobots retreated. However, the assault had weakened Decepticon morale and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] commanded another [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]] for Arcee and Chromia to steal the AllSpark itself! {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Later, Arcee fought the Decepticons during an attempt to reclaim the Cube at Tyger Pax. However, Arcee and the rest of those under Bumblebee's command didn't know the true purpose of their battle: they were a diversion to keep Megatron busy while other Autobots readied the AllSpark for launch from Cybertron. She was captured and interrogated by the Decepticons but survived the ordeal. She recounted to their Autobot rescuers Bumblebee's heroics in delaying Megatron, which prevented the Decepticon from intercepting the wormhole-bound AllSpark. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

[[File:ReignofStarscream4 Arcee.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb]]

Following the Autobots' victory in Mission City, which culminated in the death of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the destruction of the AllSpark on [[Earth]], Arcee was in command of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] and led [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] and others in an attack on [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's ship]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} While her team made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones the Decepticons sent against them, Arcee killed the Decepticon sniper [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] before he could take out [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. Her teammates were unprepared for the arrival of [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], however, and he quickly slew [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] and wounded [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]]. Remembering her failure at Tyger Pax, Arcee leapt into action, and soon she and Cliffjumper had Thundercracker at their mercy. The arrival of Starscream changed that, as he killed Smokescreen and Air Raid and badly damaged Cliffjumper. As she attempted to pull the last surviving member of her team to safety, Arcee was kicked aside by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

However, Arcee recovered an instant later. The Decepticon starship was already taking off, but she jumped and grabbed onto a piece of landing gear, holding on tight... through the [[space bridge]]. Wow. Later, she made her way back to an Autobot facility, where she unexpectedly met Clocker and [[Crosshairs (Movie)|Crosshairs]]. Along with a large force of Autobots, the three moved in on the Simfur temple, where Starscream was using captured Autobots for a strange project of his. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

She split her troops into two forces: One would attack the city of Trypticon as a diversion, while the other moved in on Simfur. Arcee and her team could only watch helplessly as Starscream drained the life out of the Autobot prisoners strapped onto the [[replica AllSpark]], despite her sister Elita-One's pleas for mercy. An opportunity to cause havoc presented itself when [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]'s forces attempted a coup. Arcee lined up her sights on the generator holding the life energy of the deceased prisoners, dedicated the shot to Elita, and destroyed it, annihilating the Cube and sending the Decepticons into disarray. Arcee's team fought their way through the disorganised Decepticons, linked up with [[Wingblade]]'s team, and rolled out just as the crippled starship came crashing down on the city. With the destruction of the capitol and the defeat of a significant portion of the Decepticon drone army, Arcee considered this to be the turning point of the war, but as long as Starscream was alive, he was a threat that she had to track down. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-Arceeprotoforms.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|The best part of waking up is ... still being in your own body.]]

Some time later, a ship carrying Arcee and her crew was shot down over an unidentified planet, and when Arcee managed to escape the wreckage, she saw that the culprit was her old nemesis, Thundercracker. She blacked out, and an indeterminate amount of time later, she awoke on an operating table—or rather, next to her old body on an operating table. Her [[spark]] had been transplanted into a new body by the Decepticon mad scientist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], as part of a twisted plan to create a new breed of tripartate soldier by using her spark to reignite those of her deceased sisters, Elita-One and Chromia. Flatline had not considered Arcee's strong will, however, and her original programming persisted. She broke free and escaped with two of Flatline's other experiment victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], but was surprised to learn that Flatline's experiment had worked: her sisters lived again in two bodies similar to her own new form, but now, they were connected at the spark, sharing the thoughts, feelings and memories of one another, thinking with one mind yet still retaining a degree of autonomy and recollection of their previous selves. [[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|WASSSS A MAAANNN (now three man)]] The united sisters defeated Flatline, and with the Twins, headed for the exit, but Thundercracker and some Decepticon drones blocked them. Thundercracker laughed, since Arcee hadn't fared too well the last time they tangled, but... that was then. Thundercracker was easily bested by the new and improved Arcee, and escaped while Flatline's headquarters detonated by remote. Arcee wondered whether her weird new existence was a mistake, or if she was merely destined for greater things. Regardless, she refused to become bent on revenge against Thundercracker for the deaths of her crew, so she and the Twins made plans to join the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, Arcee and her sisters, along with [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wreckers]] ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While 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}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:ArceeROTFIDWCombo.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|Remember what [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] did with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and the [[Duocon]]s?]]
Arcee participated in the [[Shanghai]] battle. When [[Twins (ROTF)|the Twins]] botched their chase of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], the Arcee motorcycles gave chase before [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] finished the job. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 1|Revenge of the Fallen #1}} When the Autobots were on the move to the US East Coast investigating on multiple detected Decepticon contacts, at least one of the Arcee bikes was seen alongside [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Later, while Optimus was fighting [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] in the forest, at least two Arcee bikes were approaching the battle site alongside [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. An Arcee robot was also seen with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and Ironhide when the latter was firing at Starscream and Megatron who were fleeing from the site. The Arcee robot was the first one to notice Optimus Prime's severe damage before Ratchet pronounced him "nearly gone". {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 2|Revenge of the Fallen #2}} All three Arcee robots were with the other Autobots when they were facing the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] in the desert of Egypt. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

[[File:TFSpaceCase-SpaceCasehitsArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
Sometime later after [[Operation: Firestorm]], Arcee joined Bumblebee and Sam for a picnic, which was cut short when they went to investigate an energy signal that had appeared after an earthquake. The trio proceeded deep underground and, just as Arcee was admonishing Sam to be careful, Space Case ambushed them. Despite their numeric superiority, the Autobots had trouble with their enemy because they were afraid firing weapons might cause their unstable surroundings to collapse. Space Case, angry at what he perceived as persecution from the Autobots, activated his plasma afterburners and rocketed out of the cave, triggering the feared cave-in and burying Sam and the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Space Case}} Arcee managed to send out a distress signal, to which Ratchet responded. The medic fended off Space Case and managed to free Arcee from a pile of rubble, allowing her to go after Space Case a fleeing Space Case. {{storylink|Transformers: Ratchet}} The chase took them towards a densely populated city. Despite Space Case's engine damage, he still had a significant speed advantage over Arcee. As she paused to consider her options, she received a holographic communication from Ratchet. The Autobot medic reported that Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee had survived their encounter with Space Case with no serious injuries, and suggested that Arcee meet back up with them. Arcee cut him off abruptly, inwardly observing that while Ratchet thought she continued to chase Space Case out of a misplaced sense of pride, that's not really what she was doing at all. Arcee then caught up with Space Case. Panicking, Space Case threw Arcee through a storefront and took to the air in another attempt to escape. Arcee, determined not to let anything keep her down, sped after Space Case, used a building to ramp up to his altitude, and destroyed his other engine. Space Case went plummeting into the distance, headed for the waterfront. As he vanished from sight, he promised to be back. Arcee knew she'd be ready for his eventual return. {{storylink|Transformers: Arcee}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ArceeInjured.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
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, Arcee and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's incredulity about the Autobots "sending their women" to do their fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The battle aggravated the wounds Arcee had taken in Egypt the previous year, however, and she was brought back to Diego Garcia for medical attention courtesy of Ratchet. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

After Sam Witwicky contacted Optimus Prime as Philadelphia was being attacked by Decepticons, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left out of the fight due to Arcee's wounds. Arcee wanted to go despite Chromia's attempt to let her stay behind while her two sisters went. In the end, Optimus decided to allow her to go with Chromia and Elita-1. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

[[File:RisingStorm 3 Arcee, Ravage and Ratbat.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Ravage and Ratbat teach you how to get dates]]

She and her sisters went to New York thinking they would get information on Starscream selling his weapons to humans, but instead they found Astrotrain and a monster. And they also found out that Shockwave was on earth, so they tried to inform Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communication and sent his minions after the girls. Arcee and Chromia told Elita-1 to find Optimus. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

As Ravage was attacking her. Arcee began to feel the pain of her wounds (and Chromia began to feel them too), later Elita-1 died and Arcee and Chromia felt her death. Despite Arcee's attempts to stop her, Chromia activated some bombs they brought with them (which possibly killed Soundwave's minions). Arcee and Chromia survived the explosion. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

===Titan movie comics===
Originally, Arcee didn't serve either faction, working alone to solve injustices in her own way. [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] personally decided to make an example of her, and only an Autobot extraction team led by [[Kup (Movie)|Kup]] saved her life. This debt saw her join the Autobots. She's chimerical in nature and is constantly changing her [[Alternate mode|altmode]] in an effort to go as fast as possible (maybe that's why her [[robot mode]] always looks different!). She [[Arcee (G1)|previously had a hover-car form]], but on Earth takes a modified bike mode. Once you earn her trust, she's [[Rick Astley|never going to let you down]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Arcee bio}}

During the AllSpark launch, she led the six-bot team that drew Megatron's attention to Tyger Pax. And Optimus only told ''Bumblebee'' that's what their mission was! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|#2's reprint of Movie Prelude}}

[[File:Titan5 Sidewayssideswipes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|I'm such good friends that I all dress alike!]]

Arcee had been on Earth for some time before [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] arrived. When using all three of her bodies, she refers to her collective self as "we". Back then, she was keeping her pink paint job!

She went on to assist Optimus Prime in a [[NEST]] mission in [[Australia]], and so was in a perfect position to capture the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Pursuing him in bike(s) mode, she found it near impossible to blow out his tyres and kept getting sideswiped by him during the pursuit. When a stunned Optimus ordered her to stay on the Decepticon's tail, she responded that the Decepticon's alt mode was far better suited for the terrain... inspiring Optimus to ''blow up'' that terrain.
[[File:Titan2-8 dronesurrender.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Geez, this just getting ''confusing''.]]
With Sideways stunned and taking robot form, Arcee sent one bike in to take him down but almost got hit before human military helicopters arrived to back her up. The mission over, she and Optimus took their prisoner back to [[Diego Garcia]], with Arcee escorting him to a cell. But surprise, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] was waiting to free him! She was quickly stunned and unable to stop the Decepticons escaping. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

She later decided it'd be fun to switch back to her older, single-form body! Her old body got a good workout when she was part of the strike team on the Decepticon's [[Mars (planet)|Phobos]] base. After a brief but violent battle, the [[Purple generic drone|drone hordes]] surrendered to her and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

====Alternate timeline====
[[File:Titan13 Arcee.jpg|thumb|"I don't ''want'' to look retro!!"]]
In an [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma|alternate timeline]] where the Decepticons won the battle of [[Mission City]], Arcee was a member of a small group of reinforcements summoned to Earth by the remaining Autobots on the planet. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to await contact from Earth, they were attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], but the quick-thinking Arcee took command and rallied the troops. When this still failed to work, she ordered them to Earth (following [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]]'s initiative) and their prearranged targets. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Joining up with the Earth-bound Autobots, Arcee refused to accept defeat, and helped [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]] defend [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] while he destroyed the AllSpark, foiling the Decepticons' plan to cyberform Earth using its power. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

Arcee was left bewildered by the idea that Humanity would not trust and love the Autobots, and Optimus explained to her that, from a human point of view, all the Transformers are alien horrors fighting on their planet. Following this, she guarded the [[Savannah]], [[Georgia]] shelter and was caught in an ambush staged by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

[[File:Titan22 Arcee.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|"''That's'' better!"]]

Later, after serving with Bumblebee in protecting an Alaskan pipeline, among other engagements to protect the American infrastructure, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} Arcee was part of Ironhide's team in retrieving [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from Cybertron, which ran afoul of [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} She acted as Bumblebee's distraction, drawing [[Storm Surge (Movie)|Storm Surge]] and [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] away, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}} and doubled back to regroup with Ironhide (and pull him out of rubble) when [[Unicron]] arrived. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} Later, she got Optimus Prime up to speed on the situation. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Following the Decepticon re-conquest of Savannah, Arcee was part of the raid to rescue [[Mikaela Banes]]. She got off one bit of bravado about how hitting things was her kind of shindig before [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] hit ''her''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

When the Autobots launched their final strike, Arcee was part of the spearhead team hitting the [[Decepticon Heartland]]. She started off the 'tagging' of Decepticons to teleport them away from Earth, getting [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] in the back and looking very happy about it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

{{Note|Arcee was also the host of a "Lonely Hearts" letter column in the comic's [[letters page]]. Really!}}

===Toy bios===
Arcee was well trained by Ironhide, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots. She believes without question that the Decepticons must be stopped at all costs. {{storylink|#Scout Class toys|Arcee (Scout)}}

Arcee honed her speed by hunting [[turbofox]]es with other speedsters, challenging herself to get as close as possible before tagging them with her bow. Arriving on [[Earth]] at some point in the early 21st Century, she would spend her days stalking unsuspecting Decepticons until she drew them close enough to strike. {{storylink|#2007dlx|Arcee (Movie Deluxe)}} However, when the situation on Earth began to ramp up into out-and-out combat, Arcee was reassigned to the [[Charii system]].

Nevertheless, Arcee jumped at the chance to get back on Earth and was soon handed control of her own strike team, made up of robots similar to her in attitude and design. She stalked Decepticons and killed them on the quiet. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 2|Arcee (ROTF Deluxe)}} She also started following the tradition of inscribing Cybertronian words on your chassis: while she wasn't superstitious, the ''Decepticons'' sure were!

Whenever Arcee partook in a fight, she was fighting to win. She always made sure her weapons were fully charged and her engine was tuned to perfection. By the time Decepticons saw Arcee in their rearview mirrors, there was no escape for them. {{storylink|#Fast Action Battlers|Cyber Pursuit Arcee}}

*'''Arcee''' (Target exclusive Scout Class, [[2007]])
**''Accessories'': Launcher, missile, scope, 2 tailpipes, "Energon" star

: Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]], replacing her pinks and most of her whites and blacks with blue, and her translucent red with smoky brown plastic. She transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle. Unusually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do. Instead, her Energon Bow mounts on a peg on either arm, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey "arrow" missile.

:Arcee (and the rest of the Scout wave) were [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores, where they were all part of a [[Robo-Vision]] promotion. Arcee came with a Robo-Vision Decoder which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code ("BULLSEYE") printed on her cardback. Starting [[June 2]], 2007, Target's website allowed users to input those codes to access exclusive content, a concept similar to the online [[Cyber Planet Key]] info from the [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]].

:This toy was also sold as a Farmers exclusive in [[New Zealand]], and was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]'s Cybertronian form in the [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] movie comics.

:This mold was also used to make ''Superlink'' Ariel Paradron Type, as well as the [[BotCon 2005]] "[[Descent into Evil]]" set's [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]], [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]], and the fellow Target-exclusive [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|movieverse]] [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], which was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Arcee (SG)|Arcee]].

*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, [[2007]])
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Launcher, missile
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Arcee has references [[tampograph]]ed on her [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], such as her motorcycle's fictional model name, "RC 1100" (Get it? "RC" as in "Arcee"), and her [[Massachusetts]] [[license plate]] marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.

: Arcee's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted, which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm in [[robot mode]] is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.

: Undocumented in the instructions, the two shoulder-mounted half-wheels contain a small niche on the edge of the tires. By folding the wheels down with the hubcaps pointing towards the chest and turning the tires towards the shoulders, one can feel the wheels gently click into place via the tire niches and hidden tabs in the shoulders, allowing the wheels to remain in place and more closely resemble the figure as pictured on its packaging. Probably coincidentally, Arcee is almost perfectly scaled to 3.75 inch figures like Hasbro's own ''G.I. Joe'', though this would put her vehicle mode more in line with the size of the larger Kawasaki Ninja than the Firebolt.

: As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike; unfortunately, it's mounted so low that she will fall in the opposite direction if it is fully extended.

*'''Arcee''' (Legends, 2010)

:Legends Arcee is a pink and black motorcycle that transforms into a pink and black robot. Black chunks are strategically placed on her two wheels so she can stand up in robot mode. There's an odd jointed piece above her rear wheel that has a [[Powerlinx]]-like [[5 mm post|hardpoint]] and a peg hole on the other side; since the entire piece serves no function, it may have been designed with a combined form similar to the Deluxes in mind.

*'''Chromia''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cycle cannons

:[[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] converts from a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} to... a unicycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. There is also a piece on the bottom of the vehicle mode (or back of the robot mode) that folds out, but there is no indication in the instructions as to what this piece is for. However, the piece can slide into a similar piece in the later Arcee toy, starting the supposed combined mode.

:While the instructions depict the motorcycle seat remaining flat so that it ends up covering the bottom wheel, the robot mode more closely resembles the movie design if the seat is folded in and locked into a slot on the motorcycle's bottom, as shown on the back of the packaging. The packaging photo also shows Chromia's front wheel resting behind the robot's shoulders, while the instructions leave it above her head. Furthermore, while it is not mentioned either in the instructions or shown on the box, the stand can be attached backwards and rotated with the guns facing up so that it acts as a prop for the toy, allowing the wheel to actually touch the ground, and letting the toy look from the front like it is unsupported. In addition, the stand can also be attached to right arm as an inordinately large handgun by sliding the two pegs inside the gun into two slots on the inside of the arm.

:The stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it.

:Though the instructions do not explain it, the back of the blister card mentions she has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in her left arm. While it isn't quite the "spinning gears" the card refers to, swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun.

:Deluxe class ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Arcee converts from a {{w|Ducati 848}} to a robot mode that can look quite awkward if not properly aligned. The figure has a sidecar which can become a Dual Sniper Pistol<ref name="battlebio"/> or a display stand. In robot mode, she is equipped with a small cannon on her right wrist that can deploy a spring-loaded energy blade. Small [[Cyberglyphics]] inscriptions are molded onto the surface of the blade.

:Her [[Mech Alive]] feature is located not in her elbow, as the packaging would suggest, but instead in her chest; tilting her neck up and down causes a pair of exposed gears to turn.

*'''Cyber Pursuit Arcee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Exhaust pipes/missile

:A simplified version of her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy, [[Fast Action Battlers]] Arcee is targeted at the age 5 and under demographic, being a simplified version of her Deluxe-Class toy and having more limited articulation (that's better than most Fast Action Battlers toys). This version does away with the sidecar/stand in favor of a built-in, fully retractable stand, as well as featuring a kickstand and free spinning wheels. Her main gimmick is the ability to fire her dual exhaust pipes as a single missile in both robot and vehicle mode. She features fully working suspension, but due to the transformation locking both wheels in place, it is not available in vehicle mode.

:Despite being intended for a sub-line that focuses on fast and fairly easy transformations, the design of the shoulder joints and the nature of the transformation can make transforming from robot to vehicle mode frustrating. Ironic.

*'''Autobot Skids / Arcee / Mikaela Banes''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-25'''
{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Coming with [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mikaela Banes]], ''[[Human Alliance]]'' Arcee is a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. As with the other Human Alliance vehicles, Mikaela can ride her in her vehicle mode.

: This figure, which is somewhere in between [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends]] and [[size class|Scout Class]] size, has a motorcycle mode that is slightly similar to Arcee's Ducati 848, with some elements resembling the Aprilia RS125 Mikaela is riding at one point in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|movie]], and some elements entirely made up. The robot mode, meanwhile, is clearly that of the blue motorcycle, [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]. Hasbro explained in their monthly Q&A that it ''is'' meant to resemble Mikaela's bike, and they called it "Arcee" so kids wouldn't be confused by two separate red/pink bikes.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65426 Hasbro December 09 Q&A, AllSpark]</ref> Also, the face, which is mostly unpainted save for a few small details, doesn't resemble ROTF Arcee's movie design at all. In fact, the head design bears some resemblance to [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]].

: Despite being larger than a Legends Class figure, Arcee features less [[articulation]] than most of them. While her right elbow features a swivel joint, the left arm is sculpted in one piece, and the elbow fixed in a permanent position.

: This mold was later redecoed into ''Dark of the Moon'' Human Alliance [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]].

*'''Mudflap / Chromia / Seymour Simmons''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

: Coming with [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and [[Seymour Simmons]], Human Alliance Chromia is, you guessed it, a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. Simmons can ride her in her vehicle mode as well.

: Aside from the colour scheme, this "Chromia" is clearly meant to be Arcee as it has the main component's robot mode, and its vehicle mode is closer to Arcee's than either the motorcycle included with Human Alliance Skids or the Deluxe Chromia. Its higher level of movie-accuracy includes a much more accurate head sculpt, and although its left arm is also cast in one piece, the extra articulation in the shoulders, waist and hips makes the figure more posable than the other HA motorcycle.

: The transformation is surprisingly complex and fiddly for a figure this size, which is basically a non-autotransforming version of the larger FAB. In robot mode the figure has a piece than the wheels can stand on to support them, or be rotated behind to prop the figure up with some care. The kickstand is too short to hold the bike upright in vehicle mode, although this is easily fixed by gluing a small piece of black plastic to its base to lengthen it. She suffers from balance issues in robot mode as well, since her robot-mode stand ends up placed more towards her left side instead of at the center, meaning she tends to fall to her right side often.

: She also comes packaged incompletely transformed, with her (difficult to open) right hand left untransformed as the motorbike's seat. Good luck getting ''that'' out.

**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cannons

:Elita-1 is a black, white and metallic pink [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank threads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her license plate has ''3L 174'' written on it as an stylish way of spelling her own name. [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

She comes packaged with new molds of [[Chromia (ROTF)#Studio Series|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)#Studio Series|Elita-1]] in a three-pack priced at the standard Deluxe Class price value, making the three the smallest toys in the ''Studio Series'' line to date.

:Part of the 16th wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Arcee is an extremely accurate depiction of her appearance in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' and transforms into a Cybertronian vehicle that incorporates significant visual cues from [[Arcee (G1)|G1 Arcee]]'s Cybertronian convertible mode. Like most of ''Bumblebee'''s Cybertronian characters in the toyline, her alternate mode was created by Hasbro and TakaraTomy for the toy as the film model was not designed to transform.<ref>"SS BB intro figures all have altmodes designed post-film by Hasbro/TT for this line" — [[Chris Ho|Vangelus]] on [https://twitter.com/Vangelus/status/1466819619063308289 Twitter], from the December 3, 2021 ''Transformers'' team roundtable</ref>

:She comes with two pistols based on her weapon in the film, itself a shrunken down version of the larger blaster the other Autobots used. Since she only used one in the film, the other can be given to ''Studio Series'' [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Studio Series|Cliffjumper]], who did not include the smaller blaster he had in the movie. The blasters can store on tabs molded onto her thrusters/backpack in robot mode. In vehicle mode, they are meant to be held in her hands at the rear of the vehicle. The tabs on her thrusters can also be used, but doing so will leave her hands ''very'' exposed. The heels can fold down to become wheels for Arcee to skate on in robot mode. There are molded gaps in the front wheels that are meant to line up with other parts of her feet; forgetting about them means the feet will not collapse all the way.

:Oddly, Arcee has no blue paint for her optics, giving her a very dead-eyed look. On some copies, it can be difficult to keep her neck tabbed into the front of her torso.

:Like all other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop. As with most ''Bumblebee'' ''Studio Series'' figures, this backdrop depicts a war-torn Cybertron as it appears in the beginning of the film.

:Arcee was officially revealed during the [[December 3]], [[2021]], ''Transformers'' team roundtable with fans.

*'''Arcee''' (Core Class, [[2023]])
**''Movie'': '''''Rise of the Beasts'''''
**''Accessories'': blaster
{{toydesigner|[[Sam Smith]] (Hasbro), [[Koki Yamada]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the fifth wave of Studio Series Core Class figures, Arcee is based on her appearance in ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]'' and transforms into an unlicensed approximation of her {{w|Ducati 916}} motorcycle in 11 steps. Her small size is to scale with other characters from the movie. She comes with her blaster, which stores underneath the motorcycle to form a kickstand. Like her ''Bumblebee'' toy above, the wheels on her legs can be flipped down as roller skates.

:The stock photo of her motorcycle mode is badly mistransformed, neglecting to transform the rear entirely. According to Sam Smith, this Arcee's face is pink and her wheels are on her legs based on an earlier version of the movie design.

:Arcee and her wavemate [[Freezer]] were first revealed via [[Amazon.com|Amazon Australia]] listings, days before their official reveal by Hasbro on [[January 10]], 2023.

==Notes==
[[File:Movie scale chart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|In the time before time...]]
===Single Arcee===
*Arcee was originally going to be a member of the live-action movie's Autobot cast, but was later replaced by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. According to screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]], they would have needed to explain the point behind female robots, which there wasn't any time for in the movie.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2007/07/02/exclusive-interview-robert-orci?page=3 Roberto Orci explaining the reasons for Arcee's removal from the script in an interview with IGN.]</ref> Oddly enough, there was no attempt to do so in ROTF.
*In another interview, Alex Kurtzman cited "scale issues" as an additional reason for dropping Arcee; allegedly, Michael Bay simply considered her too small as compared to the rest of the Autobots.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070714214451/http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies/transformersmovie/005082421.cfm?page=1 Wizard interview with Kurtzman and Orci]</ref>
*As part of [[BotCon 2007]]'s Hasbro tour, fans viewed "Robot Scale Chart v03", dated 11.22.05, which showed Arcee's height as 9' (2.7m). However, all of the designs on this chart were very early and later heavily revised (though [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] was revised far less than the others).
*It's commonly assumed that Arcee's big part in the movie would have been the scene in which [[William Lennox]] starts his solo assault on [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] using an abandoned motorcycle. However, the screenwriters rejected that notion, stating that this scene wasn't written until ''after'' Arcee had already been dropped from the script—but if she ''had'' remained in the movie, that scene ''would'' have probably featured her as the motorcycle.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/2288318-post539.html Orci once again clearing up the story between Arcee and the motorcycle Lennox uses during the final battle]</ref>
*Arcee came ''this'' close to being killed off in ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', as the trade states that two revisions of the plot had her dying.
[[File:BB-Arcee-model.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Ok, her legs were too skinny before, but now we're exaggerating..]]
*Arcee's Cybertronian design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily inspired by her Generation 1 [[Arcee (G1)|namesake]].

===Arcee triplets===
[[File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|So apparently Chromia and Elita-1 were green and silver at some point? Okay.]]
*It's not especially clear whether ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee is one consciousness controlling three bodies, or three separate individuals. Writer [[Roberto Orci]] explained that she was written as a singular entity, but that [[Michael Bay]] "kept them as individuals".<ref>[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2009/07/ask-orci-final-edition.html Roberto Orci answers questions on the Transformers Live blogspot, July 13, 2009.]</ref> If this was Bay's intention, it does not particularly come across in the movie (as the trio doesn't really ''do'' anything), beyond perhaps Arcee referring to her components in the plural form in one instance. The novelization of the film adheres to the script's intent, describing Arcee as a "[[Multi-component Transformer|Tripartite Cybertronian]]", while the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline chose instead to identify Arcee as only ''one'' of the bikes (the pink/red one), and characterize the other two as the separate characters [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]], who were characterised as Arcee's sisters.
**IDW Publishing's ''[[Transformers: Tales of the Fallen|Tales of the Fallen]]'' mini-series, complimented a few years later by ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm|Rising Storm]]'', goes to some lengths to marry the two concepts, depicting Arcee, Elita-1 and Chromia as a trio of robots animated by one spark, sharing thoughts and feelings but still possessing some degree of autonomy from one another.
**[[Titan Books|Titan]]'s comics, on the other hand, depict Arcee as having three bodies in their comic strips (sometimes even forgetting about ''that'' and drawing her in her original first movie toyline body), only to have their letters pages make the contradictory claims that a) they ''were'' separate robots who aren't related and Arcee's just the only one namechecked, and b) that ''nobody knows'' and that it depends "on who you ask".
**Hasbro ''Dark of the Moon'' website adheres to the original idea for Arcee, identifying her as a "a single mind that operates three bodies". Further, it follows through on the events of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' by stating that two of her components were destroyed during the battle at Giza. That, of course, is in fairly complete contradiction to previous Hasbro bios that have Elita-One still operating in the post-movie [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] setting.
[[File:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|SIX! SIX BIKE GIRLS! ah ha ha ha *sob*]]
*It was originally intended that the three individual "Arcees" would combine into a singular, larger robot in the film, but Michael Bay chose to drop the idea for fear of the confusion it would cause given how much else was already going on in the film.<ref>[http://www.siggraph.org/s2009/computer_animation_festival/sessions/details/?id=131 Q&A session with ILM effects supervisor Scott Farrar at Siggraph 2009]</ref> The idea evidently remained until comparatively late in production; both an unknown designer (see right) and [[Steve Jung]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 created a model] for the combined robot, and it appears in both the film's novelization and in the animatic for the Shanghai battle scene included on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD. A vestigial reference to the combination even exists in the finished Arcee, Chromia and Elita-1 toys in the form of a fold-out tab on each that allows them to link up back-to-back. Despite claims made by Hasbro that instructions for the trio's combined form would be made available online, the eventual relegation of Elita to a simple redeco of Chromia neutralized any real chance of the figures attaining any true combination capability, though this was returned to in ''Studio Series''.
**The combined form of the ''Studio Series'' toy appears to be based on [[:File:Rotf-scale-autobots2-1-.jpg|concept art used in the Autobot scale chart]] that appeared on the film's second DVD, rather than any of the other concepts that can be found online.
*The toy [[bio]] for ''Revenge of the Fallen''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s other motorbike Autobot [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] seems to refer to Arcee's change in form between the first and second movie toylines, claiming that he wants to undergo the new "combiner retrofit" he's been hearing about, strongly implying that Arcee underwent the same process. The absence of Arcee's combined mode from the film and IDW's own later explanation for her change in form never matched this implication, though.
*The animatics of the Shanghai battle scene included on the ROTF DVD serve to '''make Arcee more confusing'''. The "Lamborghini Jump" animatic depicts a trio of three female motorcycle Transformers (two red, one either silver or black) chasing Sideways, similar to the scene with Arcee and her compatriots as it appears in the final film. However, as the animatic continues, at least two of the bike-girls jump on Sideways in mid-pursuit, who he manages to throw off and into a building by swerving. Sideways is then confronted by ''another'' trio of bikes (pink, yellow and blue), who merge into a single robot and flip towards him, only to inexplicably disappear immediately afterwards. What the ''hell?''
*At some point between the film and the concept art stages of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Arcee's body was flipped horizontally; this resulted in all of her toys (at the time) being based on the concept art, making them inaccurate to her appearance in the film. Many years later, the ''Studio Series'' toy would correct this to be more in line with her CGI model used in the film.
*While ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shots that take down Arcee are fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would later claim that all three Arcee components were killed<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blu-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[https://www.mtv.com/news/1608508/michael-bay-reveals-transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-death/ Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref> IDW's comics ignored this and continued to feature the three sisters in ''Rising Storm''.
**[[Harold Attinger|Attinger]]'s playing card of Arcee lists her as "deceased", indicating that Orci and Kurtzman's claim has been supported. Of course, said card uses an image of Elita-1.

Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)

2022-09-10T23:48:20Z

Felipescado: /* Takara imports */

{{nav-bwj}}
'''''Transformers: Beast Wars''''' (トランスフォーマービーストウォーズ) is the overarching title given to [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s Japanese release of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|''Beast Wars'' toyline]], omitting the more ostentatious title "''Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers''" given to the dubbed version of the accompanying [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]].

''Beast Wars'' would not hit Japan until over a year after its Hasbro-market debut, most likely due to waiting for the full first season of the show to finish production so it could be run in its totality in a single stretch, as is the norm for Japanese kids media with toy tie-ins. The show's long production time also resulted in the need for "filler" after that first year, resulting in two Japan-original cartoons and associated toylines before the line returned to the Mainframe show setting. However, even though those two series were given their own titles, "''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars II]]''" and "''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (cartoon)|Beast Wars Neo]]''", those brandings never appeared on the toys' packaging. Instead, similar to how Takara's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' version of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|''Transformers'' toyline]] maintained its title for six years despite constantly changing cartoon titles, the Japanese ''Beast Wars'' toys were all branded simply ''Transformers: Beast Wars'' for three years, until 1999 saw the toys adopt the ''Beast Wars Metals'' branding given to the dubbed version of seasons 2 and 3 of the American cartoon.

{{anchor|BW}}
==1997-1998 (''Beast Wars'')==
Starting in summer 1997, the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Beast Wars'' toyline began very similarly to the Hasbro version, with only a handful of minor color differences appearing in the first wave of product. However, by wave 2, several toys had considerably different decos, as well as an all-new villain character (created to fill out the VS-packs evenly). On top of that, several of the first-wave toys got more "show-accurate" [[variant|running changes]] in January 1998, though the level of "show accuracy" varied pretty wildly. But as the back end of the line began and Takara started bringing over non-show-character molds, most of the releases returned to being nigh-identical to their Hasbro counterparts.

==1998 (''Beast Wars II'')==
{{Nav-bwii}}
The first of the two Takara-"original" ''Beast Wars'' line-ups, the toys collectively associated with the title ''Beast Wars II'' were released beginning in March 1998. It is a very strange beast, so to speak; an eclectic mix of already-existing sculpts that had previously not been used in Japan yet, which not only included more toys from Hasbro's ''Beast Wars'' line, but also ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' vehicle-bot figures that had never before been sold in Japan (and some that had previously never even been released by Hasbro!), plus a few figures scavenged from the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''Generation 1'' toyline]], many of them [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed (some of them extensively so), plus a few supplemental toys apparently intended for release in ''[[Microman]]''. Ultimately, only three characters received new toy sculpts: [[Moon (BW)|Moon]], [[Lio Convoy]], and [[Galvatron (BW)|Galvatron]]. We'd like to say it all fit together cohesively, but... no, not really. It's weird.

The toyline was backed up by a [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (cartoon)|cel-animated anime series]] and a [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (manga)|short-lived monthly manga]] in ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'', though neither one exactly set the world on fire or helped move many toys.

As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, the toys related to the ''Beast Wars II'' fiction were not actually sold under that banner, but were branded with the normal ''Beast Wars'' logo... despite the complete change in packaging design and the use of ''Beast Wars II'' on checklists.

==1999 (''Beast Wars Neo'')==
{{nav-bwneo}}
[[Image:BWN-toy_Break.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Break, the shelliest shellformer who ever shelled.]]
The second of the two Takara-"original" ''Beast Wars'' line-ups, the toys collectively associated with the title ''Beast Wars Neo'' were released in [[1999]]. Takara apparently put the time saved by the previous year's rampant recycling of existing sculpts to good use, as the follow-up's biggest feature is probably the fact that it is positively ''heavy'' with all-new sculpts, plus a handful of retools, and only a very small number of straight redecos. Some of these toys would later see release in Hasbro markets, while others remain unreleased in Western markets to this very day.

The "Cybertrons" (i.e. Maximals) kept the mostly-mammals theme, while the "Destrons" (i.e. Predacons) had a theme of dinosaurs and other big scary prehistoric animals. Every new mold also had a pseudo-third "attack mode", typically a weapon or trap, though quite often they can be simply described as "pile of animal parts with a gimmick sticking off it".

The ''Neo'' line-up is also notable for being ''extremely'' short-lived at retail, with the majority of its product released over the span of a mere five months, quickly making way for ''Beast Wars Metals''. Supposedly, this is related to the fact that these toys did not fare well sales-wise. Japanese fans at the time cited the overly-complex toys being too difficult for the younger age group ''Transformers'' had been traditionally aimed at in Japan. Despite the Japanese ''Beast Wars'' media being aimed at the lower single-digits ages, these toys were ''notoriously'' complicated for that age group, with even grown adults finding the [[transformation]]s utterly frustrating, as they require multiple panels on [[ball joint|ball-jointed]] struts to be positioned ''precisely'' right for the [[beast mode]] to lock into place. On top of that, several of the toys are infamous for being "[[shellformer]]s"—[[Break]], in particular, could have all of his beast-mode panels/parts removed and ''still leave a fully functional robot mode behind''!

On top of that, the Cybertrons lacked appeal to kids as they largely had benign, not-exactly-combat-ready beast modes (likely why [[Hasbro]] has left most of those molds alone). Reportedly, ''Neo'' sold ''so'' bad it actually poisoned the well for the incoming ''Metals'' line, as kids largely left ''Transformers'' alone... which would force Takara to make some [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|drastic changes]] a little later on.

Like ''Beast Wars II'', ''Neo'' had a [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (cartoon)|cel-animated cartoon]] and ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'' [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (manga)|manga]] to shill the toys. Despite this, the toys were still just branded ''Transformers: Beast Wars'', even though the packaging was redesigned again. For [[Japanese language|whatever reason]], the packaging rendered the faction names "Cybertron" and "Destron" as "Cybertoron" and "Destoron".

==1999 (''Beast Wars Metals'')==
{{nav-bwm}}
[[File:BW-toy Rattrap Metals.jpg|upright=1.33|thumb|Metals Rattrap, with subtle but important differences from the Hasbro Rattrap.]]
With seasons 2 and 3 of the Mainframe ''Beast Wars'' show finally wrapped up, Takara was able to send the show out as a full season with accompanying toyline. ''Metals'' was a smaller line than its predecessors, sticking entirely with characters who appeared in the show (even if not in Transmetal bodies). The first wave of toys had different, more "show-accurate" decoes and, notably, name [[tampograph]]s were replaced with generic "CYBERTRON" and "DESTRON" markings. However, toys in later waves were functionally the same as Hasbro releases (other than minor changes to Optimal Optimus/Powered Convoy). The line also included a Takara-only [[retool]] of Transmetal Cheetor into [[Ravage (G1)#Beast Wars|Ravage]] (a character that appeared on the show in that design), which was quickly a very sought-after item outside Japan.

Of particular note are the character [[bio]] cards that come with each toy. While bio cards had been in all previous Takara ''Transformers'' toylines (and were part of most toylines for many years after), for ''Metals'' the card fronts were three-stage lenticular-printed, showing the characters' robot, beast, and pre-Transmetal beast modes.

Along with the show, ''Metals'' got a ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'' [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Metals (manga)|manga]] that is... kind of ''insane'', having little to nothing to do with the show outside of some very broad-strokes story elements, but it ''does'' feature all the characters in their toy-Transmetal bodies, at least.

Unfortunately, despite the initial ''Beast Wars'' line being very popular, the return to that cast and cartoon could not overcome the sales that had been slumping ever downward over the previous two years. As such, this line was ''incredibly'' short-lived, a mere four months long, plus Takara opted to pass on the Hasbro sequel series ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' in favor of their own original followup line, ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]'', that hewed more closely to classic Transformers... mostly, at least. Though, ''Beast Machines'' would eventually get a limited release in Japan, several years later.

===Takara imports===
To combat their dwindling supply of domestic ''Beast Wars'' product (which sold like hotcakes) at the end of 1997, Takara resorted to importing toys made for the American market and slapping localized stickers on their packaging, although this resulted in prices double that of domestic product. And badly spelled names. This would be done again for some of the Transmetals 2 subline, with some sold at theaters and the rest at Toys"R"Us. Notably, three toys sold in theaters have minor paint variants not found in mainstream releases (which were identical in both Takara and Hasbro markets)—Depth Charge, Cheetor, and Dinobot.

===Hasbro imports===
[[Magmatron#Beast Machines|Magmatron]] was released by Hasbro in the United States as a [[Target]] exclusive. The toy itself was mostly unchanged, but put in ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' ''[[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobots]]'' packaging that also featured the Japanese ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' logo, Magmatron's own name in Katakana, and text taken from his original ''Beast Wars Neo'' packaging.

Additionally, Hasbro imported several other Japanese ''Beast Wars'' toys and made them available via their [https://web.archive.org/web/20001001070721/http://hasbrocollectors.com:80/brand.cfm?brand=8 "Hasbro Collectors" website]. Unlike Magmatron, these were just existing stock in their original packaging. All of them could be bought at a bit of a markup... though ultimately, they would end up being blown out at half-price.

===Sonokong ''Beast-War'' Korean series===
In [[South Korea]], Takara licensee [[Sonokong]] released a selection of ''Beast Wars II'' toys, under the title '''''Transformers: Beast-War''''' (트랜스포머 비스트-워 ''Teuraenseupomeo Biseuteu-Wo''). Subsequently, some of the ''Beast Wars Neo'' toys were released under the title '''''Beast-War Neo''''' (비스트-워 네오 ''Biseuteu-Wo Ne'o''), leaving out the "''Transformers''" part of the title from the previous line.

====''Beast-War''====
Each of the figures sold in the ''Beast-War'' toyline came with a minimum of two cardboard "{{w|Rock paper scissors|Jan-ken-pon}}" cards in place of the Japanese bio cards. Each card is printed on a single side with a picture of the character (usually just a straight reuse of the packaging art) and has either a rock, paper or scissors symbol printed in the top right corner. While the packaging and instructions give no explanation as to what this feature is for, a rough estimate would suggest that each card indicates which figure is stronger than the other, based on either of the three symbols. Additionally, there are unique dice rolls on each of the cards which suggests that a die must be used to play the game—''whatever that game may be''.

Some figures have been known to come with more than two cards—and in some extreme cases—the two cards that are supposed to be packaged with the respective figures are not included at all.

====''Beast-War Neo''====
Unlike the previous line, the ''Beast-War Neo'' figures include actual bio cards made of a similar material to that of the Japanese cards, rather than a piece of cardboard with a single side printed. For whatever reason, each of the figures in the line include a handful of randomly selected bio cards; meaning you could end up with multiples of the same character's card or none of the respective characters included in the box itself.

==Post-''Beast Wars'' releases==
As ''Beast Wars''—at least the first phase—was a big seller for Takara, they've dedicated ample space in later toylines for returns to those characters. For the same on Hasbro's side of things and post-brand unification toys (barring ''Masterpiece''), see [[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)#Post-Beast Wars releases|that toyline's corresponding article]].

===''Beast Wars Reborn'' (2006)===
*''Main article: [[Beast Wars Reborn]]''

In celebration of the upcoming 10th anniversary of ''Beast Wars'', Takara released a set containing the original Ultra Class Convoy and Megatron toys with new, show-accurate heads and cartoon-based decos under the ''Beast Wars Reborn'' banner. Those toys were accompanied by a four-part text story serialized in ''[[Figure Ō]]'' magazine.

===''Beast Wars Telemocha Series'' (2007)===
[[File:Blackarachniatelemocha.jpg|thumb|250px|''Telemocha'' Blackwidow (Blackarachnia)]]
*''Main article: [[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series]]''

[[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''Telemocha'' line (a combination of the words "'''tele'''vision" and "o'''mocha'''", the Japanese word for "toy") was much the same concept as Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|10th Anniversary]]'' line, being spruced-up versions of the original molds packaged with DVDs of key episodes. However, not only did Takara ''really'' slather on the paint, but they made some odd additions to the line, including a couple of characters from ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1998 (Beast Wars II)|Beast Wars II]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1999 (Beast Wars Neo)|Beast Wars Neo]]'', as well as an entirely new Predacon named [[Wolfang (Predacon)#Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Wolfang]] (pronounced "Volfang").

*'''Arcee''' (Autobot Car?, <s>198?</s>)

: Despite being a major character in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', no transforming toy of Arcee was made during the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original toyline]]'s run. Images of a hand-sculpted [[prototype]] based on Arcee's original character design ([[Arcee (G1)#Notes|see "Notes"]]) have appeared in several Japanese publications—including a booklet included with ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'' {{w|LaserDisc}} set and ''[[Transformers First Series Complete]]''—but it appears the toy never progressed beyond this stage.

*'''Arcee''' (Headmaster, <s>198?</s>)
[[File:Concept-HeadmasterArcee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Pinkdome.]]

: The Japanese ''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'' book shows a piece of concept artwork of the Headmaster [[Chromedome (G1)#Generation 1|Chromedome]]'s car mode in pink and white, labeled "Arcee". This was evidently a proposal for a redeco of the toy as Headmaster Arcee from "[[The Rebirth]]". (Presumably, then, this was a Hasbro-initiated idea.) The idea does not appear to have gone any further.

*'''Arcee''' (Mega, 2001)
**''Accessories'': Spider-fang grappling line

: The very first true transforming Arcee toy is a [[redeco]] and minor [[retool]]ing of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Transmetal 2]] [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#TM2|Blackarachnia]], transforming into a malformed mish-mash of machine and organic parts in the form of a large spider. The spider mode fangs become a grappling weapon for her [[robot mode]] which extend on a [[Retractable string gimmick|retractable string]]. She has a special [[spark crystal]] that changes her [[insignia]] from [[Autobot]] to [[Maximal]] when rotated. The [[robot mode]] also features a spring-powered waist-swivel for "power kick" action. Arcee lacks the Blackarachnia toy's additional chest armor, and thus has oddly-placed holes in her... well, chest, that keep the armor in place.

: Arcee was available only as an [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2001]], and along with [[Tigatron#BotCon2001|Tigatron]] was the first time since the inception of [[3H Productions|3H]] that they were allowed to use existing characters for convention exclusives. Arcee is also the first convention toy to feature retooling. Preorders received their Arcees with a bonus; the box contained a light-sensitive sound chip featuring voice actress [[Susan Blu]]'s voice saying "Don't underestimate me, I'm more than just a pretty face. Arcee, MAXIMIZE!". These chips were VERY light-sensitive, with many fans finding that the box would chatter at little provocation for years afterwards.

:Both Arcee and Tigatron were limited to 1200 pieces.

*'''Arcee''' (2008)
**''ID number:'' '''BT-21'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun

:Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Decepticharge]] (himself a [[retool]] of [[Windcharger (G1)#Alternators|Windcharger]]/[[Overdrive]]), using Honda's "Pearl White" for the car bodywork. The figure transforms into a "street performance" Honda S2000. Her hardtop roof can be removed for an open-top [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] and used as a shield in [[robot mode]]. The engine and driveshaft may be removed and used as a long-barreled rifle (as the toy is Japanese issue and not subject to the same issues that removed the long barrel from the [[Hasbro]] versions of the mold).

: A redeco of this toy as [[Paradron Medic#Binaltech|Paradron Medic]] was originally planned to be released simultaneously, but was canceled. This fate also befell a redeco meant to be Arcee's occasional mold-mate [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#Binaltech|Blackarachnia]]. The [[robot mode]] was used as the base model for the non-toy car-form [[Legion]].

*''' Arcee''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2013)
**''Collection'': '''2'''
**''Bag number'': '''*****69'''
**''Accessories'': Stand-brick (or plate, 2015 releases only), 2 small pistols

: As part of the second wave of ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Micro-Changer]]s, [[Kreon]] Arcee can be rebuilt into a sports car. She uses the [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]] style helmet.

: This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight [[retool]]ing to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.

*'''Kreon Class of 1984''' (Kreon figure set, 2014)
**''Set number'': '''B0090'''
**''Voted'': Prom Queen
**''Accessories'': 2 small pistols

: This version of Arcee, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]], uses a darker magenta base color, and has much more extensively-detailed [[tampograph]]s than her Micro-Changer version, including a nose! She still uses the [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]] style helmet.

: She was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984"... despite the fact that the character of Arcee wasn't introduced until 198''6''. Huh. This set was made for sale at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was to be sold through the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online store, but the set sold out at the convention.

*'''Arcee''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
**''Collection'': '''2'''
**''Accessories'': Stand-plate, 2 small pistols

:In 2016, the Collection 2 Micro-Changers were re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Arcee's [[paint operation]]s have also been slightly altered (much less so than most others in the collection), mostly just replacing her white paint with a very light pink.

:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

===''Generations''===
[[File:Generations 30 deluxe Arcee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|And the fandom rejoiced.]]
*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2014)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #021'''
**''Accessories:'' Large gun, small gun, two swords

:''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Arcee is the holy grail that, after 28 years, many thought would never happen. Originally scheduled for March 2014 in the ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' subline of ''Generations'' along with [[Chromia (G1)#Generations|Chromia]], Arcee was delayed to Fall of that year.

:Based directly upon her original Generation 1 character model, Arcee transforms into a "futuristic" pink and white sports car. She is armed with two guns, and a pair of translucent blue swords that pay homage to her ''[[Arcee (Animated)|Animated]]'' and IDW incarnations; all four weapons each feature several universally-sized rectangular pegs that allows them to be tabbed into multiple matching ports in her fists, forearms, hips, shoulders, and the sides and rear of her car mode. Additionally, her two guns can store beneath her car mode, though this is not mentioned in her instructions. The smaller gun is not depicted in Arcee's original [[stock photography]], but is instead featured in a stock photo of her [[wave]]-mate Chromia. This was most certainly due to a mix-up error; the gun's design, especially the size and shape of its handle and additional pegs (which are identical to those of Arcee's other weapon), make it very obvious that it was always intended to go with Arcee rather than Chromia.

: There was a [[variant#Running changes|running change]] to the sculpt, with the first release having her fists rounded closed, with longer thumbs, whereas the later version has them in an open position, with shorter thumbs. Unfortunately, an added protrusion at the lower end of the later version's hands prevents the handles of her weapons from being fully inserted.<ref name="genvariant">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW-3CB5EbQY Comparison of both variants of ''Generations'' Deluxe Class Arcee] at YouTube.</ref>

: Thanks to her transformation, a secondary pair of joints in her thighs allow for an extended degree of leg poseability, including being able to achieve a cross-legged pose.

: Overall care should be taken when handling Arcee, due to the fact her paint is highly susceptible to chipping and flaking off. The areas most prone to paint damage are the pink paint on her thighs, and the white paint on her car's grille.

:This figure was retooled into ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Nightbird (G1)#Legends|Nightbird Shadow]] and redecoed as [[Lifeline (G1)#Generations|Figure Subscription Service 5.0 Lifeline]] and ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' [[Chun-Li]]. Her weapons were also used for [[Impactor (G1)#TFSS|Figure Subscription Service 4.0 Impactor]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 swords, [[Combiner Slayer]] sword

:The ''Combiner Hunters'' [[redeco]] (and slight [[retool]]) of ''Generations'' Arcee can be considered a [[black repaint]], but in fact mostly stands out for its new accessory: a gigantic Combiner Slayer sword that is both taller and wider than Arcee herself. The tooling for this weapon was originally used by the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#BH|Beast Hunters]]'' Ultimate Class [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Ultimate|Optimus Prime]] figure. She also includes the two swords from her original release, but lacks the two guns that said release came with. Arcee herself has her hands retooled in order to allow her to wield the Combiner Slayer, but as a consequence unfortunately only allow for an incomplete and slightly awkward wielding of her other accessories. The final version doesn't have the white plastic on her biceps and crotch like it was shown on the official image shown here on the right, as well as having a pink autobot symbol on her cheek rather than red and lacks the pink line on that side as well and have instead extra paint aps on the hood front fenders of the alt mode.

:This version of Arcee was only available in a [[giftset|gift set]] together with ''Combiner Hunters'' redecos of ''Generations'' [[Windblade (G1)#Combiner Wars|Windblade]] and [[Chromia (G1)#Combiner Wars|Chromia]], each with their own giant new melee weapons.

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', Arcee is a redeco of her [[#Generations|''Thrilling 30'' Deluxe Class toy]], featuring metallic pink paint operations and replacing all the black plastic parts and paint operations with either white or pink. Unfortunately, this set features the later version of the ''Generations'' sculpt, with hands unable to fully hold her weapons due to molded tabs at the bottom of the palm.

She comes with a new [[Titan Master]], Leinad ("Daniel" backwards) who forms her robot head and fits into her cockpit.

**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''ER-09'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': '''[[November 28]], 2020'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, hoverboard/vehicle rear

:Part of a second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this mold of Arcee transforms into her classic futuristic car mode and is armed with a clear blue blaster. In contrast to the 2014 ''Thrilling 30'' [[#Generations|Arcee mold]] which incorporated the chest and legs into the vehicle mode, this ''Earthrise'' toy is a true [[shellformer]], the entire humanoid body folding up underneath a vehicle mode shell, which becomes a backpack for her robot mode. She utilizes a faux vehicle center-front for the chest, with the real part folding down behind her head. Part of the backpack (the rear half of her car shell) can detach to act like a hoverboard that robot-mode Arcee can ride, by pegging her feet onto the 3 mm posts on the board designed to accommodate the ''War for Cybertron'' Fire Blast effect parts. Arcee has notably few such posts for her size, and has a similarly small number of [[5 mm post|5 mm]] [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] ports. A lack of a 5 mm port on her back in both backpack configurations means she cannot on her own recreate [[Cog (G1)|Cog]] weaponizing her as seen in the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon. A new accessory packed with [[Security Officer | Red Cog]] would later allow this combination.

:In vehicle mode, Arcee's blaster can be attached to either of her front fenders or stored out of sight beneath her hood. In robot mode, it can be stored on a port on her butt, or plug into the fender ports on her back once the hoverboard is removed. Though the figure has standard 5 mm fist holes, the blaster's handle is molded in the unusual flattened shape used by ''Thrilling 30'' and ''Titans Return'' [[#Titans Return|Arcee]].

:Many fans have taken it upon themselves to knock out the pin holding the backpack joint together in order to have a complete vehicle mode separate from the robot mode.

:The original stock renders have a few different paint applications compared to the final toy, depicting the car mode with grey coloring on the side panels, and the back half of the waist being painted pink and grey to match the front. Additionally, the connector that links the hoverboard to the rest of her backpack is colored pink instead of white and is attached to the backpack instead of the board.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of Arcee's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger space map, along with a translucent red "decoder". Arcee's piece contains the labeled location of [[Master (planet)|DOMINUS]]. Like most ''Earthrise'' figures from wave 2, it is misprinted and overlays the "decodable" red graphics from the map piece included with ''Earthrise'' [[Hoist (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Hoist]] on top of the details unique to Arcee's piece.

:Arcee was redecoed into [[Lifeline (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Lifeline]] and retooled into ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Elita One (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Elita-1]].

**''ID Number'': '''MP-51'''
**''Accessories'': blaster, holster, 3 effect parts, rifle, pistol, shredding arm, 3 alternate faces

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Arcee is an all-new mold that transforms from a robot into a Cybertronian car, though the robot mode favors a leaner and slender design as opposed to directly replicating the original animation model, a rare move in modern ''Masterpiece'' figures. Aside from her blaster, Arcee also comes with a rifle, an assortment of alternate faces, a holster for the smaller blaster, a pistol, effect parts for her blasters, and a drill arm based on the one she used to stop a Junkion during the chase in the movie. In addition, the figure's head has a foldout visor from the movie. Much like MP-46 [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#Masterpiece|Blackwidow]], Arcee's design hyper-emphasizes feminine stylings and enhanced poseability, also extending to her hands. ''Unlike'' MP-46, however, Arcee's stylization goes to the point of neglecting screen accuracy, having a sculpt which forgoes the animation model's wider, slightly boxy stomach and waist while also giving her a much wider (and lower) bust. Not to mention the extremely arched back.

:This mold was also retooled into [[Nightbird_(G1)#Masterpiece|Nightbird]].

**''Accessories'': Blaster

:Released as the sole figure in the fifth wave of ''Authentics'' "Bravo Class" figures, ''[[Transformers Authentics|Authentics]]'' Arcee is a roughly-Scout-sized mold that is developed for the discount market. She changes from robot to a Cybertronian car that borrows design cues from her ''Earthrise'' and ''Cyberverse'' Deluxe toys. Her blaster can be stored on top of her vehicle mode where it cleverly doubles as the antennae-like device that usually adorns the top of G1 Arcee's vehicle mode.

:Unlike many of her Deluxe iterations, this version of Arcee does not utilize [[shellformer|shellforming]] in order to change forms, however she lacks feet and is a little back heavy for her size, so her stability is questionable. Her legs can be locked into a more stable position if her knees are hyperextended. She features a decent range of articulation on her upper body, though her knees can only move sideways due to her transformation scheme.

:Part of the seventeenth wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Arcee is, surprisingly enough, ''not'' a redeco of the [[#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' toy]], but rather, an extensive retool of the eight-year-old [[#Generations|''Thrilling 30'' toy]]. She features an entirely new lower body and back half of the car, in service of adding the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' standard of articulation to robot mode and a more accurate vehicle mode. She also has new forearms to give her [[5 mm post]]-compatible hands, which can still grip her smaller blaster from the original toy. The blaster can still attach over the shoulder and (presumably) holster on her thighs by using the new 5 mm ports. Unfortunately, Arcee loses the larger blaster and swords from the ''Thrilling 30'' toy, and her new forearms prevent the blaster from attaching to her forearms.

:Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop, with it depicting the Battle of Autobot City.

:Arcee and her wave-mates were revealed by TakaraTomy on [[May 10]], 2022, and set for pre-order in Japanese markets, unusually before Hasbro.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, 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.

There are other small but significant changes to her deco; most notably her midriff detailing is now painted red (a detail the SCF oddly misses), her blaster now has a black barrel rather than dark gray, her pinks and grays are darker, and her whites are considerably brighter.

: Rather than come blindpacked like the ''SCF'' figure, Arcee came on a blister card with a profile card included.

The only new part is the head sculpt, which faithfully recreates the look of the Arcee synthoid from "Only Human", down to the animators' misinterpretation of the "buns" on the sides of robot Arcee's head (which were inspired by Princess Leia's iconic hair buns in the original 1977 ''Star Wars'' film) as one single piece of woven hair that wraps around the back of her head.

:Her accessories are redecos of the UAV drone that originally came with the 2013 ''Retaliation'' [https://www.yojoe.com/action/13/dataviper.shtml Data-Viper] figure, reinterpreted as a [[Sky Spy]] unit, and the guns from the same Agent Helix figure that also donated her lower legs and feet for this figure. The included display base/stand is the generic 2013 ''Retaliation'' version, with a tampographed Autobot insignia.

:Despite being branded only as a ''Transformers'' product, this figure was exclusively available through both Fun Publications' ''G.I. Joe'' and [[Transformers Collectors' Club|''Transformers'' Collectors' Club]] online stores.

Multi-component Transformer

2022-08-29T21:44:20Z

Felipescado: /* Transformers with equal components */

{{noname-nickname}}
[[File:ReflectorCartoon1.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Three components, one Transformer.]]
'''Multi-component Transformers''' are able to have one or more of their components separate and act independently of one another. All of the components together make up the Transformer. They should not be confused with [[combiner]]s, which form from individual characters.

==Transformers with equal components==
When these Transformers split, none of the components are more important than the others. Sometimes these Transformers are depicted in fiction more like [[Triple Changer]]s, where the components are never shown active at the same time.

===Mitotic sparks===
Magmatron is stated to have this ability because he has a [[mitotic spark]]. The Duocons (including Overlord) and "beings like Sky Lynx" have been retconned by [[Ask Vector Prime]] as also possessing mitotic sparks, but this may not apply to the other characters on this page.
{{--}}

==Transformers with a minor component==
Some Transformers clearly have a dominant component, but also possess parts that are required for their Transformation in one mode but can act independently in another mode. Sometimes the component is semi-autonomous and sometimes it is merely a remote-controlled drone. The distinction is not always clear and varies by fiction.

===Pretenders===
[[Pretender]] shells can be controlled independently by the inner robot.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
[[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]] was the first multi-component Transformer to be depicted in fiction. His entry in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|G1 cartoon series]] [[production bible]] states that "in his robot mode, Reflector is 3 robots that speak together." He was ''usually'' depicted this way, but this was inconsistent. Reflector components existed and spoke on their own and seemed to have their own personality. It was left uncertain if these components were extra [[generic]] look-alikes. Reflector made one brief cameo in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel comic]] without addressing the multi-component issue. {{storylink|The Last Stand}} [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] treated the trio as three individuals that simply had a [[combiner]]-type altmode. The [[2005 IDW continuity]] has portrayed Reflector both similarly to the cartoon {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 3|All Hail Megatron #3}} and as individuals {{storylink|Spotlight: Wheelie}}

In the cartoon, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] showed the ability to have his rocket component take off (leaving the base and tank behind), travel to another planet then transform back into robot mode. Sometimes his base mode was there on the planet waiting for the rocket to land. Fictional portrayals of Omega Supreme tend to address the oddness of his multi-component altmode by simply not having him transform very often unless he needs to [[Scale#Transport characters|give the Autobots a ride somewhere]].

Fictional depictions of [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and the [[Duocon]]s tend to treat them as triple-changers of sorts. Their components are not often seen operating at the same time. The exception is the [[Dreamwave Generation One continuity]], where they made it a point to show them operating independently.

{{stub}}

===Live-action film continuity===
[[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] was badly damaged by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]]. [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]] attempted to create a new Decepticon warrior by transplanting her [[spark]] into a new pink body. The transplant was a success, but Arcee retained her own will and broke free, surprised to learn that she could control a purple body and a blue body that were with her in the lab. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}}

Arcee had become a "tripartite Cybertronian," meaning she is not one, but ''three'' motorcycles, who are controlled by a singular intelligence. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen (novel)}} The three components were able to combine to form one robot mode. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen (novel)}} {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation|Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation}}

{{note|While fictional appearances portray Arcee as a multi-component Transformer, the toy bios give her individual components their own personality. ([[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]], and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]]). Chromia's bio refers to them as [[Relatives|sisters]].}}

===Power Core Combiners===
Some Power Core Commanders went through special training to be able to control a team of drones that they can also combine with. Their personality engrams were uploaded to the drones so the Commander can effectively be in multiple places at once. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 32}}

==Notes==
*''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] had a group of drones called the [[Prime Force]] that he could [[Powerlinx]] with forming a [[Optimus Prime Super Modes|super mode]]. There is little evidence to say that the Prime Force was an extension of Optimus Prime, however. In one instance, [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] brought the Prime Force to a wounded Optimus Prime and Optimus Prime seemed surprised to see them. {{storylink|Decepticon Army}}

'''A stasis pod falls in the Northern Sector of the planet and the Maximals and Predacons race to obtain it.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:Fallen Comrades Tiger pod.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Foreshadowing is fun.]]
A field of debris circles the planet. Among the waste, a [[stasis pod]] falls from orbit and enters the atmosphere. Both the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] watch as it falls into the distant icy [[Northern Sector]]. Rather than immediately going for it themselves, [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] decides to ambush the Maximals' only flier ([[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]]) as he goes for the pod.

At the [[Axalon (BW)|Maximal base]], Primal is anxious to retrieve the pod containing a fellow Maximal. He falls for [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] and [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]]'s trap despite [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]]'s attempt to protect the Maximal leader. However, Dinobot is able to prevent the Predacons from taking Primal out of commission.

Back at the Predacon base, Megatron is disappointed to learn that Optimus Primal has survived, but realizes that the Maximals must now send a ground party to retrieve the stasis pod. This will leave the Maximal base undermanned and vulnerable to attack. Megatron dispatches his fliers to race to the pod, while he, [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], and [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] go to attack the Maximal base.

[[File:Fallen Comrades Terrorsaur bridge.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|You'd think they'd, y'know, use their guns.]]
Meanwhile, [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]], and [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] run towards the pod. As they go, they remark that while leaving the base with the damaged Optimus Primal and Dinobot may not have been the best idea, it was their only option. Rhinox goes on to say that they need to hurry because, if the pod is damaged, the [[protoform]] robot within will be exposed to the planet's dangerous [[energon]] fields. Indeed, this seems to be the case when the stasis pod is shown opening, as the protoform's arm reaches from the pod and immediately begins to short out due to the high energon.

As they come to an ice bridge across a crevasse, the Maximal team is met by Waspinator and Terrorsaur. After a fire fight, the Predacons knock out the bridge and the Maximals' best hope of getting to the pod quickly.

[[File:Fallen Comrades Dinobot Optimus core.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Dinobot, Megatron's escaped. Recruit a team of Maximals with attitude.]]
Rattrap radios back to the base and informs Dinobot of this development. He accesses Optimus Primal's [[core consciousness]] in the [[CR chamber]] and informs him. Primal suggests that they send a laser transmission to the pod by bouncing the signal off something.

Outside of the Maximal base, Megatron and the other Predacons observe Dinobot setting up a laser transmitter on top of the base. Megatron offers Dinobot a chance to return to the Predacons by handing over the base. Dinobot responds by shooting Megatron with his [[Optic weaponry|eye lasers]] and is then promptly shot by Tarantulas and Scorponok. Although damaged, Dinobot is able to activate the base's auto-weapons which quickly dispatch the Predacons. Megatron then calls off the assault to join the pursuit of the pod.

With the transmitter in place, Optimus Primal is able to bounce a laser off one of the planet's moons and to the stasis pod. Both the Maximals, the Predacon fliers, and a nearby white tiger witness this development. The pod's [[DNA scanner]] comes online and scanning its surroundings.

His regeneration complete, Optimus Primal puts Dinobot in the CR chamber and begins his own flight towards the pod.

[[File:Fallen Comrades Tigatron gun.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Kiss my hand or I'll shoot you!]]
Meanwhile, back in the Northern Sector, the Maximal group arrives at the pod to find Waspinator and Terrorsaur struggling to open it. The Maximals warn the Predacons to stop, but soon Megatron arrives and threatens to kill two white tigers if the Maximals do not surrender. They agree, but when Megatron opens the pod to reprogram the protoform into a Predacon, he finds that the pod is empty. It turns out that one of the white tigers was the new Maximal [[Tigatron]]! As he and Optimus Primal join the fight the Predacons soon realize that they are out-gunned and retreat.

Primal welcomes Tigatron to the team and thanks him for his help. Tigatron tells his fellow Maximals that his identity circuits were damaged in the pod's landing and that he was not sure who he was until he saw that the Maximals were willing to risk their lives to save the tigers. He declines Optimus Primal's invitation to go back to the base with them, stating that he needs to stay in the wild since he is still more tiger than Maximal. Still, he promises his loyalty to the Maximals as a scout.

The Maximals head back to their base and leave Tigatron with the [[Snowstalker|other white tiger]].

==Quotes==
"Oh no! Waszzpinator in trouble!"
:—'''Waspinator'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s understatement after being flattened by a rock some ten times his size.

"Fear not, Optimus! I shall ensure your funeral is a glorious one, as befits a warrior who died in battle!" 
"'Fraid I'll have to miss it, Dinobot; I'm not scrap yet!" 
"Hmm, are you certain? It would be a triumphant passage."
:—'''Dinobot''' and '''Optimus''', the former perhaps being a little too hopeful.

"No excuses, you pathetic rodent. Keep moving. Dinobot, out." 
"''HEY''! You can just kiss my pink, hairless—"
:—'''Dinobot''' and '''Rattrap''' share some friendly banter over the comms.

"You win, you depraved wad of stinkin' slag."
:—'''Rattrap''', gracious in defeat.

"Let the trails lead where they may—I will follow."
:—'''Tigatron''' gets poetic. This would serve as his motto in "[[Dawn of Future's Past]]" and ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook]]''.

==Notes==
===Script timeline===
* First draft: 2nd February 1996
* Second draft: 26th February 1996
* Finalised: 13th March 1996

===Animation and technical errors===
*As is the case in many episodes with night scenes, the stars near the horizon are vertically elongated due to a mapping error in the sky backdrop.
*Likewise a repeated error, several stars can be seen through the moon in multiple shots.
*In a couple close shots on Dinobot's head in various scenes, a small gap can be spotted in his 3D model where the upper edge of his neck ends.
*As Dinobot rises back up with the lift in the beginning, his left hand is clipping into his leg.
*When Optimus pushes Dinobot back on the elevator, the latter's head clips halfway into the wall.
*When Primal gets shot, the pistons on his feet are clipping into his shins.
*Dinobot's rotating shield is blown apart by the Predacons' missiles, yet it still has its circular spinning motion blur effect as it falls to the ground.
*After Optimus is shot down, his right shoulder pad is upside down and remains like that for the rest of the scene.
*When the boulder falls on Waspinator, the rock wall he and Terrorsaur were hiding behind is gone. It returns after that.
*When Terrorsaur blasts away the boulder, it has a different texturing than before.
*Immediately after this, Waspinator's missing his wings and abdomen, and the insect leg [[kibble]] on his left arm is reduced to a couple stubs, yet the energon surge effect around them is "complete". Then as Terrorsaur drags him through the air, most of his body looks normal again but his wings are still absent.
*While talking to his fliers at their base, Megatron's claw at one point clips into the controls of Waspinator's floating platform.
*Just before Waspinator goes into [[beast mode]] before taking off after the pod, the stripes on his thighs are facing the wrong way.
*Scorponok's visor is red when Megatron addresses him and Tarantulas.
*Before the pod opens up by itself to reveal a hand, the outer machinery housing the DNA scanner on the pod's side is missing.
*The moon is horribly pixelated as Waspinator and Terrorsaur fly by.
*Waspinator's thigh textures are, as usual, messed up when he goes into [[robot mode]] before destroying the bridge.
*Rattrap's ear clips partially into his back when he notices the fliers.
*When Waspinator and Terrorsaur prepare to destroy the ice bridge, the former loses all of his black stripes for a shot.
*A segment on Rattrap's wrist becomes misaligned with his hand in one shot as he talks to Dinobot via com link.
*Just before Scorponok shoots Dinobot off the ''Axalon'' roof, his shoulders are rotated awkwardly to the back, the upper edge of his chest is scrunched up, and most peculiarly, he has his scorpion-legs for nipples. How do they even make that mistake?
*When Rattrap notices the "light show", his front foot is floating above Rhinox's back rather than resting on it.
*Optimus is missing his glowing pupils when he gives his command to the auto-cannons, but strangely, their vague outlines are still there.
*The side section on the pod has an ugly flickering texture on it.
*As they try to open the pod, the antennae on Waspinator's chest clip into its side, and when the Maximals disturb them, Terrorsaur's hand also passes through it. Then, his knee does.
*There's a prominent "weapon cocking" sound after the Maximals surprise Terrorsaur and Waspinator, but no one is actually making any movements.
*When Megatron lands, his tail clips into the snow hill.
*As Megatron's blast sends what he thinks are two tigers tumbling down, the one on the left keeps its front paws in the same flat position as it flips over, causing them to clip through its leg. Also, both have an expression of utter boredom despite their predicament.
*Rhinox's left hand clips into his hip as he says "They're not part of this."
*When Cheetor lowers his gun in surrender, it slides right through his leg.
*During the closeup on Rattrap as Megatron advances toward the pod, his neck tubing is clipping into his torso's inner structure.
*Waspinator is again missing all of his stripes and the yellow details on his face in a handful of shots when he opens up the pod. His teeth are also missing from his robot mouth, behind his mandibles. Furthermore, he has strange but distinct swirly lines both in his robot eyes and the insect eyes on his chest, instead of the usual irregular textures that give his compound eyes a sort of "rainbow" effect.
*As Megatron smiles in victory, his pupils too are missing, only appearing as faint shapes within his eyes.
*When Tigatron maximizes, the fake tiger eyes, nose and ears already appear floating in front of his robot torso before his tiger head actually flips down there.
*As the Maximals open fire, various reflection textures on their body and guns disappear in the vicinity of their blasts.
*In the same shot, the inner green layer of Rhinox's chest is poking through the outer layer near his right pectoral area. Also, the inner rim on his right knee is for some reason gold rather than green.
*When the scene is shown from Optimus' vintage point, the Maximal are shooting at what seem to be irregular shapes in the snow whose position doesn't at all align with the three Preds. As a bonus, their blasts curve and angle down as they fly.
*Waspinator's thighs show incorrectly mapped stripes yet again as he returns to beast mode at the end.
*Megatron's feet sink deep into the snow as he flees. Not an error in itself, though shouldn't he be leaving footprints?
*In several shots near the end of the episode, Tigatron's beast mode legs are yellow/tan instead of white.

===Continuity errors===
*Despite being flattened by a huge rock, Waspinator doesn't seem to spend any time being repaired and functions normally (for Waspinator, anyway) for the rest of the episode.
* Megatron got to the pod ''really'' quickly, despite the other Transformers taking nearly the entire ''episode'' to get there. Perhaps he should've just saved himself the trouble and just gone after the pod himself?
* Like previous episodes, the planet's wonky geography seems to be based on Cretaceous period Earth, with the stasis pod landing somewhere in what would be northern Europe. This (somewhat) matches the shots from space shown in "[[Chain of Command (BW)|Chain of Command]]", but doesn't jibe with later revelations about the planet. Either it's an attempt to hide the truth about the [[Earth|planet]] the Beast Wars are set on, or the writers hadn't yet pegged down the exact time-zone the series was set in.
*When Waspinator and Terrorsaur are trying to open Tigatron's stasis pod, the hatch has a large window. Apparently nobody noticed that the protoform was missing until ''after'' opening the pod.

===Continuity notes===
*A Transformer in a repair chamber can still be communicated with by accessing their [[core consciousness]]. When Dinobot talks to Primal's, it appears as a holographic floating head.
*This episode marks the first time that the ''Axalon'' has fired its weapons since it crashed. The ''Axalon's'' self-defence system will get a major upgrade in [[A Better Mousetrap|a couple of episodes time]].
*After Rhinox's initial attempts to boost long range communication by building an external communication device back in "[[The Web]]", the Maximals appear to have incorporated some improvements to their internal communicators. Although the Stasis Pod itself is out of range, Rattrap manages to communicate with the Maximal base whilst a considerable distance away.
*The [[Northern Sector]] is revealed to be 100 klicks north of the ''Axalon'', and 120 kilometers north of the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''. Assuming that the characters meant "north" and not "north-east" or "north-west", and assuming that a 1 klick = 1 kilometer (as it usually does in English), the two bases are, at most, 156 kilometers apart, and possibly as close together as 20 kilometers.
*After the previous episode softened Rattrap from his initial "extremely obnoxious" personality down to a more palatable "slightly obnoxious", this episode marks a shift in Dinobot's behaviour. He volunteers to go out first to check for a potential ambush on Optimus, and then later he asks Primal for advice. He seem to have gained respect for the Maximal leader. (Even when he thinks that Optimus is dead, he talks about holding a "glorious" funeral, rather than attempting to take command.)
*Gadgets and powers:
**Optimus refers to his rockets jets as his "Primal jets". They appear to still function even if he has been knocked unconscious.
**Tigatron has a wrist mounted rocket launcher. It's apparently powered by [[to sell toys|First Appearance Power-Up Syndrome]] because he never uses it again after this episode.
**Waspinator still has his eye lasers. Use of other characters having eye lasers will decrease as the series goes on, eventually leaving just Dinobot with them.
** Just before Tigatron appears, Cheetor exchanges his usual gut for the gun that is formed out of the rump of his beast mode. Tigatron himself totes his own (white) gut gun. This will repeat in future episodes... Cheetor will normally use his gut gun, only using his rump gun when Tigatron is around and using ''his'' gut gun.

===Trivia===
*You can avoid being shot by Maximal [[autogun]]s if you stand perfectly still. Just try not to get so nervous that you shake uncontrollably.
*Talking of the autoguns, they are EXTREMELY weak for ship-mounted weapons, causing no visible damage to Scorponok, Tarantulas or Megatron despite several direct hits. It's possible that the power to the autoguns is much lower than in the first episode because the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s main engine core is damaged (assuming the guns receive their power directly from the engine).
*After the repeated use of [[Units of time|cycle]] in the [[Power Surge (episode)|previous episode]], we're back to regular human units of time in this one.
* Tigatron's character model, like his toy, is just barely retooled from Cheetor's, featuring a different head in both modes and being just slightly taller than the latter. Beyond that, their transformation animations and weapons are the same beyond the obvious different fur texturing.
* Later Beast Era stories would [[retcon]] Tigatron into being a pre-existing Maximal who had lived on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], albeit one who had suffered amnesia upon transferring to the ''Axalon''. It doesn't really synch up with the episode itself, though, as none of the Maximals seem to recognize the guy.
* Just prior to its debut in syndication, this episode was made available on DirecTV on a pay-per-view basis beginning on [[August 19]], 1996.

'''Seeker Snipers''' are Decepticon foot soldiers resembling [[Skywarp (Movie)|Skywarp]] that can turn into F/A-18 Hornets. They have the special ability to teleport short distances and target enemies from afar with a heat-seeking missile.

Some Seeker Snipers showed up to stop [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]] from saving some humans during a Decepticon attack. Later on, another group of Seeker Snipers were among those who attempted to stop [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Sam Witwicky]] from reviving a stasis locked [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]].

==Notes==
*The Seeker Snipers' purple and black coloration and teleportation powers are based on [[Skywarp (G1)|Generation 1 Skywarp]], but also seems to take some cues from [[Skywarp (Armada)|Armada Skywarp]].
*According to their stats, these Decepticon flyboys have great vehicle speed, but not so much weapon damage and running.

*The Seeker Sniper is playable in Single Player via cheat code in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Unfortunately, all achievements and your online sessions will be disabled by playing as the Seeker, which is odd considering all that's being done is playing as another character. Unlike the [[Protectobot Scout]], the Seeker Sniper may be used in Deep-6.
**The cheat to play as the Seeker on the PlayStation 3 version is: Square, Triangle, Square, L1, X, L1. The cheat to play as the Seeker on the Xbox 360 version is: X, Y, X, LB, A, LB.
**The Seeker Sniper is also playable in Single Player mode via Hacking (or simply tweak with the file). The Seeker Sniper is called "dskrwarrior". Unfortunately, its special ability, Teleport, is unavailable via hack.
*By coincidence or design, the three '[[generic]]' Seeker designs in the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' film named by [[Industrial Light & Magic]] (Skywarp, [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], and [[Thrust (Movie)|Thrust]])<ref>[https://www.ilm.com/art-department/bumblebee-developing-an-epic-set-piece/ BUMBLEBEE: DEVELOPING AN EPIC SET PIECE at ILM]</ref> match the three Seekers chosen for generics in the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' game (Seeker Sniper from Skywarp, [[Seeker Warrior]] from Thundercracker, and [[Seeker Scout]] from Thrust).

[[File:ArceeG1-2010storypage.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|These aren't high heels, they just forgot to finish building my feet.]]
Most make the mistake of noticing only '''Arcee'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Female Transformer|gender]], but these first impressions are quickly expanded upon. Sure, she's pink, but she'll have swords down on you by the time you remember that's just the color of [[Transformer]] [[energon|blood]]. Arcee is a ruthless and deadly warrior who's an expert in hand-to-hand combat and one of the best sharpshooters on record. The reason for her ferocity is how much she cares for her fellow Autobots and especially the [[human]]s they protect. She knows how fragile her organic companions are, and she's equally aware of the evils of which the [[Decepticon]]s are capable. Peers such as [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] may be more durable than the humans, but she no less fights to defend them as well. They get in plenty of trouble, so someone has to keep their wits about them to pull them out of the fire when they get in over their heads.

She's sometimes [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s [[Relatives|sister]], and perhaps also [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]'s "great-aunt." Though she's known to flirt with Hot Rod, she's married to either [[Aileron]] or [[Greenlight]] in some universes. Sometimes she's even [[binary bonding|binary bonded]] to the human [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]].

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
[[File:ArceeTFMovie.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
{{main|Arcee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity}}
A close associate of [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], Arcee fought in both the [[Battle of Autobot City]] and the [[Unicron War]] in [[2005]]. Following that, she continued working closely with Rodimus Prime as one of his primary warriors. In [[2006]], she binary bonded with [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] to save his life, becoming a Headmaster.

In a splinter timeline, Arcee was a member of the [[Female Autobots]] and fought in the resistance against the Decepticons on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] while [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s crew lay dormant on [[Earth]]. In [[2011]], Arcee had not become a Headmaster in this timeline; she instead becomes a ''secretary'' for [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]].
{{--}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel UK future timelines====
{{note|The movie adaptation, originally published by Marvel US, is in italics}}
[[File:Arceeprimesrib.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|They're not men, Arcee. Transformers have no gender. We've been over this!]]
Arcee was constructed by the Autobots in an alternate future [[1995]] as a goodwill attempt to placate [[Feminist mob|angry feminists]] who thought that they were "sexist" for having no women in their group. After trying multiple times to explain that Autobots, being robots, had no gender, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] surrendered and ordered the creation of a new Autobot who would meet the humans' demands for sexual equality. However, when Arcee was unveiled at a public ceremony, her pink, skinny and curvaceous form enraged the very audience Prime intended to placate. [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]], [[Horri-Bull]], [[Fangry (G1)|Fangry]] and [[Squeezeplay (G1)|Squeezeplay]] immediately attacked, looking to crush the "secret weapon" that was promised. Prime warned Arcee to stay back, lest she get hurt in battle, but the female Autobot, rightfully annoyed at the Autobots' lack of faith in her equal ability, singlehandedly forced the Decepticons into a retreat. [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] thought that was pretty hot. The feminists were enraged beyond words. {{storylink|Prime's Rib!}}

Arcee was present at the opening of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in [[2004]] when a group of Decepticons led by Shockwave launched an attack, hoping to ruin Autobot-human relations permanently by assassinating several diplomats present. She helped shield the diplomats from harm until Hot Rod drove the attackers away. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

[[File:Springer arcee the planet eater.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]
''Arcee was present when the Decepticons launched a major offensive against Autobot City in the year [[2005]]. She and Springer transformed the outpost into its defensive mode, but the Decepticons nonetheless managed to breach its walls. The Autobots eventually drove Megatron and his troops away, but at a steep cost: Optimus had been fatally wounded in battle against his nemesis. Arcee afterward stood in solemn silence as Optimus passed on the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] before expiring on his death bed.'' {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}}

''After a brief respite, Arcee and the other Earthbound Autobots received dire news from [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]]; a monster planet, [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], was advancing menacingly towards Cybertron. When perched on Arcee's shoulder, Daniel was apprehensive about what would happen to his father should Unicron attack. There was little time to contemplate the situation, however, as a new enemy then assaulted the Autobots: [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. The Autobots were forced to split up into two groups and blast off aboard a couple of [[Autobot shuttle|shuttles]] in their attempt to escape him, but Galvatron remained in pursuit. In a last-ditch effort to lose the Decepticon, Magnus ordered an emergency separation of the shuttle. After Galvatron destroyed the jettisoned portion of the vessel (and declared the Matrix destroyed), Arcee's group landed their craft on the [[Junkion (planet)|Planet of Junk]] for repairs.'' {{storylink|Judgment Day!}}

[[File:Arcee daniel the final battle.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]
''When Daniel asked to be allowed to help with the repairs, Arcee brought out one of his father's [[Exosuit]]s from storage and helped the boy put it on. Though Daniel had trouble with the suit's workings, Arcee assured him that he was doing well for his first time operating it. The Autobots barely managed to get any work done before Galvatron tracked them down again. Galvatron blew Ultra Magnus to pieces in the ensuing battle and left with the Matrix of Leadership in hand. Arcee and her teammates gathered to look over Ultra Magnus afterward, only for the hostile [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] to then spring forth! Thankfully, another ship carrying Hot Rod and several other Autobots arrived and managed to talk peace with [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]], the Junkions' leader.

Wreck-Gar's troops rebuilt Ultra Magnus, and everyone on Junk readied for a confrontation against Unicron. This clash ended with the Autobots' ship spearing through the titan's eye. Arcee and the others were separated from Hot Rod within Unicron, but her group found Spike, Bumblebee, and [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]]. Hot Rod soon rejoined them, but in his absence, he reacquired the Matrix of Leadership, which both upgraded him into "Rodimus Prime" and begun a chain reaction inside Unicron, culminating in his destruction! With Unicron's threat now dealt with, the Autobots gathered around Rodimus Prime, who announced that this day would mark a new chapter in Cybertronian history, one that would hopefully contain much peace and happiness.'' {{storylink|The Final Battle!}}

[[File:Arceehotrodspacepirates.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Y'know, Arcee, if you'd stop running pigeon-toed, maybe we'd be out of here by now.]]
Though they had been quite friendly beforehand, Arcee and Hot Rod began to drift apart after his ascension to Prime status in [[2006]]. She remained stationed at Autobot City on Earth but grew bored by her duties. One day in [[2008]], Arcee decided to be a bit adventurous, rationalizing that ditching her duties and returning before anyone noticed wouldn't amount to any harm. After a quick drive through the countryside, she returned to base to find it under siege by the [[Quintesson]]s. Arcee was accosted, wounded, and strategically placed as bait so that Rodimus would see her upon investigating the attack on the outpost. Sure enough, when he spotted her, Rodimus rushed to his "childhood" friend's aid. When he tried to use the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] to heal her, Arcee tried to warn her leader of the set-up, but the trap was already sprung; the Quintessons stole the Matrix, and Rodimus Prime reverted to Hot Rod. Despite her injuries, Arcee was soon back on her feet and assisting Hot Rod in a last-ditch effort to thwart the invaders' plans. While she, and a few cassette-Transformers the Quintessons had overlooked, distracted the enemy army, Hot Rod awakened [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], leading to the devastation of the Quintesson fleet. Arcee witnessed Hot Rod retrieve the Matrix from the Quintesson who had swiped it, [[Ghyrik]], after defeating him through trickery. Seeing him hold his own without the Matrix's power renewed Arcee's wavering faith in her Commander. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

In [[2009]], Arcee tracked down [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] on Earth, where they were planning to use a laser bore to leech energy right from the [[Earth's core|planet's core]]. Joining a small Autobot detachment, they destroyed the drill. They returned to Autobot City to face the more significant threat: a [[Time rift|timestorm]] that threatened 20 years of history with destruction. As [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had spent months back in the 20th century, the universe was unraveling from the anomaly.

[[File:TimeWars3-ArceeDinobots.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Dinobots 1, Chivalry 0]]
Arcee, Rodimus, and several other Autobots traveled back in time to [[1989]] to retrieve the Decepticon villain. Unfortunately, the Autobots of that day mistook them for imposters and tried to kill them. Arcee was nearly mauled to death by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] before [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]] explained that they were travelers from the future. Even more, unfortunately, Galvatron had acquired some allies in the past: Scourge, [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ravage]], and the mighty [[Straxus (G1)|Megatron]]. She joined [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] in trying to triple-team Megatron, but was only swatted aside like a bothersome insect. Arcee survived, however, and managed to take a few cheap shots at Galvatron later on in the fight. Eventually, the timestorm asserted itself on the battle and consumed Galvatron utterly, ending the temporal distortion. {{storylink|Time Wars}}

Arcee and the Autobots returned to their time only to find it had reset, so Galvatron never time-jumped and had instead conquered Cybertron. Arcee and the returnees adjusted as best they could, but the odds were hopelessly against them. The resistance on Cybertron ended when Galvatron and his men ransacked a resistance station, killing [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and the other Autobots present. Galvatron mutilated the corpses to drive Rodimus Prime into a killing frenzy, hoping to corrupt the Matrix through its host. As she felt fire in the depths of her soul, Arcee managed to talk Rodimus down, reminding him of the actual values of an Autobot leader; compassion and mercy. Despite this moral victory, the Autobots' resistance movement was quickly crushed, and they were forced to leave their homeworld. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

Arcee joined a hundreds-strong Autobot team in fleeing to Earth to regroup. {{storylink|The Void! (UK)|The Void}} When the Matrix-imprisoned [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] possessed Rodimus and disabled the [[Future Autobot evacuation ship|ship]]'s retro-rockets, Kup had Arcee make her way to the damaged systems through the ship's air ducts. She successfully reached the sabotaged machinery and repaired them, but a crash-landing became inevitable by that time. After the Autobots' ship made landfall, their possessed leader began advancing on them, vowing to tear them apart for their interference. {{storylink|Edge of Impact}} Arcee showed a more ruthless side in being the only one of the Autobots to advocate using lethal force on him. Kup was more hesitant in doing so but eventually agreed with Arcee that Unicron had to be stopped, even at the expense of Rodimus's life. {{storylink|Shadow of Evil}}

Kup changed his mind when Unicron's assault came to an abrupt end; Rodimus was fighting back, distracting Unicron from the goings-on in the physical realm. The dark god regained control briefly, killing [[Strafe (G1)|Strafe]] in the process, and Arcee declared that Unicron had been "faking it" to lure them into a false sense of security. But Kup suspected otherwise and tackled down Rodimus to rip the Matrix out of his chest compartment. Though this released Rodimus from Unicron's control, it did not eliminate his threat; Rodimus declared that one day, he would have to venture back within the Matrix to confront Unicron again. {{storylink|White Fire}} As Unicron would go on to possess Rodimus again and devastate Cybertron in [[2010]]—an event she witnessed—Arcee's ruthless attitude appeared to have been the right one all along. Yes, Rodimus Prime managed to contain Unicron again, but at what price...? {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

Arcee was part of the crew of an Autobot ship that was studying the Universe. She asked Springer to make a note of a specific star. After being hit by meteors, they were forced to make landfall on the nearby Junk planet. There, she helped Springer and Perceptor fix the ship until the native Junkions attacked them. The fighting stopped when Kup arrived on-world and used the universal greeting to calm down the Junkions. Now friends, the Junkions and the Autobots, worked together to fix the damaged ship. Arcee and the Autobots then blasted off and went on their way. {{storylink|Battle on the Junk Planet}}

Kup led Hot Rod, Arcee, and the Dinobots on a special mission to take supplies from Earth to a space station on Cybertron's second moon. Despite Kup's warnings, the Dinobots loaded too many supplies onto the ship, and the ship crashed on a planet. Everyone landed safely, but Kup recognized the place. It was the planet [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintesson]]! They were interrupted by a tribal scream and a flurry of firestones. However, the boy who made his presence known was not aiming at them but the Quintessons behind them. The boy's name was [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], and he had been abandoned on the planet when his ship crashed there earlier.

Wheelie led them through the jungle, battling Quintessons along the way until they reached Wheelie's crashed ship. Hot Rod was able to fix it, and everyone left the planet Quintesson, Wheelie included! {{storylink|The Story of Wheelie, the Wild Boy of Quintesson}}

During a battle against a horde of killer [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbirds]], [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] (now an adult) sacrificed their lives to end the threat. Daniel's death took a severe toll on Arcee, who became reclusive, preferring to sit alone with images of her former [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster partner]]. Over time, she slipped away from her friends entirely, disappearing within [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. After an unspecified event, she took on the form of a techno-organic spider and learned the skills of both [[Crystalocution]] and the previously lost art of [[Tekkaido]]. She firmly believed that she had omens of her friends' deaths before they would happen, and this knowledge had driven her insane. She hid away, hoping to spare herself the pain of experiencing this phenomenon.

[[File:Arceedeparturespider.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Don't underestimate me, I'm more than just a pretty fa— well, just don't underestimate me, okay?]]
Hundreds of [[Units of time|stellar cycle]]s later when [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] returned from [[Earth]]'s past and conquered Cybertron with his army of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]], Arcee's solitude spared her from the onslaught. [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], now known simply as Rodimus, had helped form a new team of [[Wrecker]]s and wished to enlist Arcee. But Arcee rejected his offer as she was still too embittered by her experience, though she was touched by the Wrecker [[Fractyl]]'s words. Rodimus's Wreckers were followed by Megatron's new Vehicon generals, [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] and [[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]], causing a battle that resulted in Fractyl's near-death. Refusing to lose another, Arcee used her spark to save Fractyl, also reformatting him into a Transmetal body. Arcee agreed to depart with the rest of the Wreckers, and she and Fractyl assisted them in defeating a vast Vehicon army to reach an old [[Autobot shuttle]]. {{storylink|Departure}}

But the Autobot bounty hunter [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] had snuck aboard their ship and attacked some of their group. Arcee and the others raced to the rescue, and Arcee was quickly felled by Devcon, despite his new, smaller Vehicon body. After things were sorted out, Arcee tended to Fractyl, whose new Transmetal form was wildly unstable. At Arcee's insistence, [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] created a crude medical bot, [[CatSCAN]], to assist Fractyl's recovery. Arcee was oddly unable to foresee the deaths of [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]] and [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]], a result of a yet-unknown saboteur amongst their ranks, as she happily watched CatSCAN discover himself while working on Fractyl. Their ship set down on their [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]]-given destination, the remote planet of [[Akalo|Archa Nine]]. Arcee stayed behind with a few others to repair damage to their ship by their mysterious saboteur, who turned out to be the fellow Wrecker [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. Cyclonus stole the [[Divine Light]], the artifact the Wreckers were searching for, and returned to his true master, [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]]. {{storylink|Betrayal}}

[[File:Arceedisclosure.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Just like old times, but smaller.]]
Arcee blamed herself, as she hadn't been able to foresee death since she saved Fractyl. Demoralized, Arcee and the Wreckers left Archa Nine and headed to another planet at the insistence of their divinely-inspired leader, [[Primal Prime]]. They landed on a small icy planet, and a small scout team, including Arcee, was sent to investigate. After searching for hours, they stumbled upon [[Al-Badur]], a [[Quintesson]] scientist. Arcee immediately readied her weapon, as she and Rodimus had had enough of the Quintessons for several lifetimes, but Primal Prime asked her to lower them. Al-Badur was a somewhat welcome source of information regarding their quest, and before they could leave the planet with him, they were under attack by a horde of [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]] sent by Cryotek. Arcee and Rodimus quietly bonded as they battled the Sharkticons; it was just like old times. Slowly but surely, Arcee's demeanor had lightened. After the Sharkticons were defeated, Al-Badur explained their problem. The Divine Light was an ancient Quintesson piece of technology that allowed them to tap directly into the power of [[Primus]], and now Cryotek had it! {{storylink|Disclosure}}

But when they returned to Cybertron, it had changed during their absence into a [[technorganic]] paradise by the [[Great Transformation]]. Quintessons had seized the opportunity to invade the planet, but Primal Prime assured Arcee and the others that Cryotek was their only concern. Primal Prime, Apelinq, [[Ramulus]] and [[Tigatron]] left them to find Cryotek, leaving Arcee and the others to take their injured to safety before joining the counterattack forces on the ground. Instead, their shuttle took heavy damage and descended in a ball of fire and smoke—Arcee, grabbing Fractyl's body and what life support she could, abandoned ship with the rest. Disregarding Primal Prime's orders, Arcee suggested they find Cryotek and help the other Wreckers defeat him. Descending into the layers of Cybertron, they met [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], who joined them on their journey.

Finding the battleground between Cryotek and [[Sentinel Maximus]] (the combined form of Apelinq and Primal Prime, newly merged by Primus), Arcee reluctantly set aside Fractyl and his life support to join the fight. She helped Devcon defeat Cryotek's mutated pet [[Chro]], using her weblines to hold the monster still so the bounty hunter could shoot at it. But Cyclonus and Rodimus had disappeared beneath some rubble, so Arcee, Fractyl (who had been magically repaired by Tigatron expending all of his [[Vok]] powers) and the others went digging for him... and instead found [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]], [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]]... and Arcee's nephew, [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]. They avoided each other's glances awkwardly.

They found Rodimus, but he was in rough shape, having fought nearly to the death with Cyclonus. Arcee and the others agreed to follow Al-Badur's instruction in defeating Cryotek and helped direct the battle between Sentinel Maximus and Cryotek to a chamber deep within Cybertron. Arcee asked Fractyl to keep on Rodimus, who was extremely weak. Their group arrived in the desired room, but Arcee had a bad feeling about the place. It seemed familiar. She recognized it too late. It was a Quintesson banishment chamber, and Al-Badur had activated the containment shield within, locking Sentinel Maximus, Cryotek, and himself inside a forcefield bubble that fed into a strongly gravitational portal into nothingness. To Arcee's initial horror, despite her pleas, Rodimus stood up to deal with the situation. She knew that his following action would kill him in his weakened state, but after his assurances, she resigned herself to the outcome. Rodimus and Cheetor, both [[Matrix Templar]]s, used their skills to drain Cryotek of his Primus-stolen powers. As expected, this was too much for Arcee's long-time friend, and though they succeeded in saving Cybertron, Rodimus was dead.

But she realized death isn't an ending; it was just another change. "And change is what we do." Arcee and Fractyl gathered his body to take it to a secret burial ground that Arcee knew. She promised that this time, she wouldn't disappear forever. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:Dreamwave MMTE Arcee.jpeg|upright=1.1|left|thumb|]]
Before the war, Arcee worked in a hazardous materials treatment plant. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}} She became a member of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]'s underground rebellion team headquartered in the [[Wastelands]] during the reign of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. She was regarded as one of the team's odd ones along with [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]], though neither were unappreciated. Both [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and Hot Rod quickly fell in love with her. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} What no one knew, however, was that Arcee was a sleeper agent of the [[Quintesson]]s and a member of [[Female Autobots|their elite warriors]]. Her task was to keep an eye on the war's proceedings, particularly Autobot activity, and the location of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and any Transformers with an affinity for the object. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}} As such, Arcee was delighted when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] was brought to the rebels' base, much to Hot Rod's misguided annoyance. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} Since the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] were making a mess in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] at the time, Shockwave unleashed the [[Guardian robot|Omega Sentinels]] on the polity, forcing the rebels to make their final stand against him immediately. Arcee ended up teamed up with [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]—a situation that bugged Hot Rod because he couldn't keep an eye on her. Halfway through the battle, Arcee witnessed [[Shockwave's Tower]] shooting a beam of sorts to an [[Unicron/Generation 1|unknown destination]]. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}} Shortly after, she also witnessed the Decepticon hijack of [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]. Even with these setbacks, the Autobots won and reclaimed Iacon. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

[[File:LostandFound Arcee friends.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|"I'm glad you said that. I'll invite [[Female Autobots|them]] over [[Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Generation One|right away]]."]]
The Autobots set up a new [[Autobase]] in Iacon, where Springer and Hot Rod used relative peacetime to win Arcee's affection. Hot Rod had a date of sorts with Arcee to help prepare and watch the shuttle that would send a group of Autobots to [[Earth]] take off, but only after he'd be done training. Springer jumped onto the opportunity and offered to go with Arcee while Hot Rod was busy. Arcee accepted, much to Hot Rod's annoyance. At Landing Platform A, after they were done loading baggage, Arcee was lost in thoughts, of which a few she shared with Springer when he asked what was on her mind: Arcee wasn't sure of her purpose in life and if she belonged on Cybertron. Springer assured her she belonged with her friends.

Over at [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]], Arcee's masters observed the proceedings on Cybertron with glee, noting that not only had they found another Transformer with an affinity for the Matrix in Hot Rod, but their own agent Arcee would work perfectly as a key to break his will. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} The Quintessons' plans would even be able to be executed well ahead of time by the Autobots' next move. Arcee was selected to leave with Kup, Springer, and the Dinobots to set up a new moonbase, while Hot Rod was chosen for guard duty at Autobase with only Gnaw and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] to assist him. Arcee's report on this situation got the Quintessons to send her colleagues for Hot Rod and the Matrix. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

{{Unreleased DW G1 comic}}
In the shuttle, taking them all to one of Cybertron's moons, Arcee witnessed an amusing conversation between Kup and [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]]. The view outside drew back her attention, though, where an [[Quintesson Cruiser|odd-looking object]] floated in wait for the shuttle. {{storylink|Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Issue 11|Generation 1 #11}}

To oversee the decommissioning of all Cybertronian technology on Earth, Arcee was sent to the planet alongside [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], the last of which whom she had a mutual attraction. Shortly after the group arrived at [[Area 52 (G1)|Area 52]], the facility came under attack by [[Cobra]], and Arcee helped fight them off alongside [[Scarlett]], who was surprised over the existence of "girl robots." {{storylink|The Art of War issue 1|The Art of War #1}} Upon hearing about a security breach in the lower levels of Area 52, the group headed there and, to Arcee's horror, found Bumblebee injured and low on energy. Before the group could do much about him, they were attacked by [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]], who took control of [[G.I. Joe battle mech|G.I. Joes' mechs]] and forced them to fight the Autobots before bringing the roof down on everyone. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2|The Art of War #2}}

The Autobots and Joes survived and quickly followed Serpent O.R. through a warp gate to Cybertron, where they were attacked by [[cannibalizer]]s. Arcee didn't think they were very threatening but suggested that they retreat to protect the humans. During their escape, she promised that she'd rotate Bumblebee's tires if he could outrace her... only to run straight into Serpent O.R. and his new army, who remorselessly killed Bumblebee and captured the others. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} They eventually managed to escape thanks to their G.I. Joe friends. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}}

After hearing that Serpent O.R. had captured [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Arcee and the others made their way to his chambers, only to find that [[Cobra Commander]] had taken control of Serpent O.R.'s body after he had seized the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. "Serpentor Prime" effortlessly defeated most of the Autobots and Joes, but Arcee dodged his tentacles and managed to rip his chestplate off, allowing [[Hawk (G.I.

Sibling of [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]], '''Arcee of the [[Darklands]]''' was an ancient warrior, hailing from the prehistoric era that predated modern Transformer civilization, serving under the fearsome tyrant [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] during the wars that led to the unification of Cybertron under the [[Thirteen]]. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} "Forged male," Arcee would eventually seek out the assistance of the amoral scientist [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] for assistance, after the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]].

Part of the crew of the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' when the ship left Cybertron four million years ago, Arcee, the other Autobots, and Megatron's Decepticons crash-landed on Earth some four million years ago, reawakening to wage a secret war for control of Earth's [[energon]]. Eventually, the outbreak of the [[Eugenics Wars]] and [[World War III]] around the turn of the millennium prompted them to flee the planet aboard the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and search for Energon elsewhere in the galaxy. The Autobots were unaware that the Decepticons had done the same until they were attacked by the Decepticon Titan [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] over the barren moon of [[Cygnus Seven]]. In the ensuing battle, the damaged Fortress Maximus crashed into the surface of the planet, knocking him and all of his passengers—Autobot and Decepticon alike—into [[stasis lock]] for some two hundred years.

In the 23rd century, [[Federation]] colonists conducting a routine [[dilithium]] mining operation stumbled on the dormant Transformers, inadvertently triggering the Titan's autonomous repair protocols. First, bringing the Decepticons online, the evil Transformers attacked the Federation colony. At the same time, Optimus Prime gave chase, {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Two}} and the other Autobots had only just been restored to full functionality before [[James T.

Though the Autobots, distrustful of humanity after witnessing their ancient wars, attempted to capture the humans, Kirk convinced them of their good intentions.

It was [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] who hatched a new plan to bring Fortress Maximus back online, {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Two}} with Arcee watching as he rigged up a device that would reactivate the Titan by analyzing Kirk's brainwaves. Despite [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]]'s doubts, the plan worked, and Fortress Maximus was restored to full functionality, his alternate mode reconfigured into a copy of the ''Enterprise'' linked to Kirk's consciousness. Blasting his way to freedom, Arcee and the other Autobots rolled out to take on the Decepticons and their new [[Klingon]] allies, with Arcee facing off against her old nemesis [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]] until the arrival of Trypticon. After Kirk rescued the Federation miners by beaming them and Arcee aboard, he transformed the ship into the mighty "Fortress Tiberius." {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Three}}

Though Kirk successfully defeated Trypticon, the heroes learned that [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] already absconded with a load of stolen [[dilithium]], intent on conquering the [[Klingon Empire]] and their capital world of [[Kronos]], {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Four}} forcing the two ''Enterprises'' and their crews to give chase. Joined by [[Crewbot|a series of custom-built mechanical suit]]s, the Autobots leaped into action against Megatron and his allies. Though one of Soundwave's sonic frequencies paralyzed them, it would be the Klingons themselves who successfully thwarted the attempted invasion. In the aftermath, Arcee and the other Autobots chose not to return to Earth with the crew of the ''Enterprise'', preferring to travel the stars, but Prime pledged that he and his soldiers would be on call if Kirk ever required their assistance. {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Five}}

When the Great War ended, Arcee was left feeling rudderless in this era of newfound peace. Despite having a bad day in which she had her housing loan rejected, and later picked a fight with a reckless driver, a greeting from her pet robot cat when she came home prompted her to muse that maybe peacetime wasn't so bad. {{storylink|An Arcee Sort of Day}}

[[File:ArceeGreenlightRun-Arcee.jpg|thumb|left|250px|I've only had Gauge for a day and a half, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.]]
Arcee was a particularly feared soldier during the [[War of the Threefold Spark]] and spearheaded at least one assassination mission that targeted one of [[Exarchon]]'s many iterations. Following the end of the war and the ratification of the [[Nominus Edict]], Arcee settled into a peaceful civilian life and eventually romanced [[Greenlight]]. However, she remained a skilled fighter with a short temper. {{storylink|Arcee/Greenlight: Run}}

Following [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]]'s murder, the Senate authorized the [[Reproduction|forging]] of a new Transformer and selected Arcee to mentor the young Cybertronian. At the customary ceremony at in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s [[Pyramid (Cybertron)|Pyramid]], Arcee and Greenlight met their new ward [[Gauge]] and helped welcome her into the world. Observing these events, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] told [[Rubble]] that the newborn had essentially received two mentors for the price of one. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}}

Arcee grew very protective of Gauge, quick to lash out when people suggested she had been forged as a political move to take people's minds off Brainstorm's death. As tensions grew between the Autobots and [[Decepticon|Ascenticon]]s, Greenlight initially suggested taking Gauge off-world aboard an outbound [[Reversionist]] vessel: a suggestion that Arcee initially disagreed with, fearing that uprooting Gauge at this crucial stage might impact her development. Following [[Vigilem]]'s destruction of the [[Tether]], however, the three tried to help with rescue efforts until a confrontation with [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] and [[Singe]] at a nearby [[energon storage field]] made up Arcee's mind. The three raced to board the Reversionist starship ''[[Exodus (G1 ship)|Exodus]]'' on the outskirts of Iacon. Although Arcee nearly sacrificed herself to get her ward safely off-planet, she was able to board the ship at the last moment and rejoined her family. {{storylink|Arcee/Greenlight: Run}}

[[File:GaugingTheTruthPart2-ExodusBrig.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Throw her in the brig!" "We don't have a brig." "Then throw her in the laundry room. Which will hereafter be referred to as 'the brig'."]]
However, Reversionist plenary [[Heretech]] was displeased by the presence of non-Reversionists aboard the ship, fearing that they would interfere with his grand plan to cleanse Cybertron of heresy. He and the other Reversionists forcibly separated Gauge from her mentors and had them imprisoned in a makeshift brig in the bowels of the ship's engine room. The Reversionist curate [[Accelerator]] reprogrammed Gauge so that she'd forget her old life with her mentors. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth for a Truth|A Truth for a Truth}} Aware that Heretech was planning something sinister, but unaware of the specifics, Greenlight was able to hack into the ship's systems and sent a message to Gauge telling her to come and find them. When she did so, Arcee and Greenlight introduced themselves to their former mentee and explained that they wanted to tell her the truth. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth: Part One}}

Using a [[Cortical psychic patch|psychic patch]], Arcee and Greenlight got Gauge to trust them by helping her remember what happened before boarding the ''Exodus''. Then they asked her to deactivate the bars to their cage—a dangerous task that would involve infiltrating Heretech's private quarters. Gauge did so, and as the ''Exodus'' returned to Cybertron, Arcee and Greenlight successfully broke out and subdued the guards sent to stop them. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth for a Truth|A Truth for a Truth}} As the Reversionists began their attack on the planet, Arcee and Greenlight escaped the ''Exodus'' to warn Cybertron's inhabitants of the impending attack, then intervened to help Gauge stop Heretech using their alternate modes. Arcee and Gauge teamed up to incapacitate Heretech with a mass of exploding Energon; in the aftermath, the three elected to stay behind on Cybertron together. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Three: Moment of Truth|Moment of Truth}}

Arcee took up arms with Optimus Prime and the Autobots against the conquest of Cybertron by the Decepticons. She assisted [[Pyra Magna]] at [[Protihex]] to recover who and what they could before the city-state fell. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I}} Arcee was at the Autobranding ceremony in [[Crystal City]] where those opposed to the Decepticons united under the Autobot badge. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I}}
When they learned [[Termagax]] had the [[Enigma of Combination]] by the [[Sea of Rust]], Arcee joined Pyra Magna and a tactical unit in securing the location. She was positioned on the roof of Termagax's [[House (building)|House]] as a sniper with [[Sureshot (G1)|Sureshot]] and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]. They shot down the [[Rainmakers]] when the Decepticons arrived to make their own claim to the Enigma. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust II}} Still, she and Sureshot were unprepared for the sudden arrival of the teleporting [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. He evaded their sniper fire, and the Enigma was ultimately lost in the Sea of Rust. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}}

[[File:EnemyOfMyEnemyPartThree-Arcee.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Arcee was one of the many dormant Autobots aboard the ''Ark'' in 1984. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Two}} In the original timeline, she survived long enough to become known to [[Skynet]] and receive a threat level of "maximum."

After being reactivated and reformatted in the altered timeline, Arcee became the reluctant overseer of the [[T-800]], a time-traveling android whose interference spared the Autobots from being executed by the Decepticons. After showing him the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s weapon locker and conducting a perimeter sweep, unaware that he'd secretly scattered explosives around the area, Arcee responded to Bumblebee's call for reinforcements at a [[Cyberdyne Systems]] facility. Eager as ever for a fight, Arcee threw herself at Thundercracker, impaling the Seeker's nosecone with her sword. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Three}}

Though Arcee managed to slay [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]], the Autobots were still outnumbered and quickly boxed in. Salvation came when Starscream betrayed the Decepticons and shot Soundwave in the back; the distraction allowing Arcee to slam Skywarp into Thundercracker and take both out of the fight. After Bumblebee and [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]] had defeated the other two Insecticons, [[Sarah Connor]] called the Autobots to aid the bisected T-800. Arcee threw him into Megatron's open wound and allowed him to destroy the tyrant from inside. After Arcee loaded the captured Decepticons into Optimus' trailer, the Autobots returned to the ''Ark'' to find the volcano destroyed. Recognizing that the T-800 had done this, Arcee cursed herself for trusting the android before the Autobots and Decepticons agreed to a truce. In the months and years that followed, Sarah Connor got a job at [[Skywatch]] and used her connections to keep an eye on her Cybertronian friends, including Arcee. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Four}}

[[File:SiegeEpisode5-WeaponizedCog.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Arcee accompanied the Energon scavenger Bumblebee, and fellow Autobot Cog on a mission to steal a supply of Energon to fuel The Ark. Bumblebee brought them to the den of the [[mercenary]] [[Soundblaster (G1)|Soundblaster]]. On approach to Soundblaster's throne, Arcee pointed out that he looked like Soundwave; Bumblebee suggested ''not'' bringing up the topic to Soundblaster, as he was sensitive about being a failed clone. Bumblebee successfully deceived Soundblaster into thinking that Arcee and Cog were his new apprentices in the Energon scavenging business. Taken down to the vault, Arcee sprung into action, with Cog transforming into a weapon for her to use and holding back the guards while Bumblebee stole Energon. However, before the trio could leave, Soundblaster arrived, having caught on from the start thanks to surveillance from [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]]. Soundblaster also decided that since Arcee and Cog were valuable as Autobots, he'd cash them in for profit. He then had Arcee, Cog and Bumblebee surrounded. {{storylink|Siege episode 5}}

Outnumbered, Arcee and the others prepared for the inevitable fight, but the arrival of Shockwave's virus affected the [[Dome Guard]]s' weapons. The distraction gave the Autobots the chance to escape. Yet, with Bumblebee incapacitated from the sudden loss of the [[Alpha Trion Protocols]], Arcee was left to take the wheel of a speeder, which she used to escape with Bumblebee and Cog. They reached Autobot Command with the needed energon just as the Decepticons launched their attack. Arcee and Cog brought the Energon to the ship, enabling it to take flight. Arcee remained aboard the Ark for the duration of the battle and assisted in holding back the attacking Decepticons. She was aboard the ''Ark'' when it flew into the space bridge. {{storylink|Siege episode 6}}

Having been knocked unconscious by the jump, Arcee was among the Autobots captured by [[Doubledealer]] and the crew of the ''[[Fool's Fortune]]'' and brought to the Quintesson [[Deseeus]] on [[Chaar]] for judgment. However, after teaming up with the Mercenaries that had first captured them, the Autobots fought off Deseeus' private army and escaped back aboard the ''Ark''. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 2}} Arcee joined Optimus, Bumblebee, Wheeljack, and Sideswipe aboard [[Nebulos]] Station and helped fight off [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], sealing the door to keep him out and providing cover fire for Optimus. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 3}} While Scorponok was preoccupied fighting the Decepticons, she and the other Autobots made their escape, only for Starscream to fire on the station, sending the ''Ark'' and its crew into the [[Dead Universe]]. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 4}}

Arcee remained onboard the ''Ark'' while Optimus spoke to [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and later observed Earth once they escaped. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 5}} However, the Decepticons were close behind and boarded the ''Ark''. Their fight was then interrupted by the ''Fool's Fortune''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s arrival, helmed by a Deseeus-controlled Doubledealer. As a result of the Mercenary ship's destruction, the ''Ark'' and its crew were sent crashing down to Earth. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 6}}

{{bigquote|Ferocity without compassion is brutality.}}
After Cybertron fell, the Autobots left their homeworld aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'', traveling through space in pursuit of the [[AllSpark]]. Arcee was a [[Cybertronian military insignia|Ground Command Special Ops Sergeant]], {{storylink|Arcee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' toy packaging}} whose function was a warrior. Her primary objective was to achieve victory, and her primary weapons were [[Energon battle pistol|Energon pistol]]s. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' webpage}}<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/earthrise ''Earthrise'' website]</ref>

Closer than ever to reaching the [[AllSpark]], the Autobots awakened after crash-landing on pre-Ice Age Earth. While battling the Decepticons, both sides were joined by the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, their epic battle changing their combined destinies.

During this period, Arcee [[trans-scan]]ed into a sports car. Her Energon pistols and speed were her powers and weapons, and her core traits were her ferocity, fearlessness, and protectiveness. Arcee's message from the future was that her cooperation with mysterious new allies will lead to heroic ends. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' webpage}}<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/kingdom ''Kingdom'' webpage]</ref>

After befriending Rarity, she teamed up with her to defeat Starscream, [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. {{storylink|Shine Like a Diamond}}

When the Decepticons and [[changeling]]s attacked the [[Crystal Empire]], Arcee was part of the force that defended it, slamming into [[Shrapnel (G1)|Skrapnel]] before engaging [[Crasher (G1)|Crasher]]. When the Autobots later returned to Cybertron, Arcee confirmed that everyone who had been dragged to Equestria had been returned home. {{storylink|Finale (Friendship in Disguise!)|Finale}}

Following the release of [[King Sombra]] on Cybertron, Arcee and [[Greenlight]] began noticing the strange effects his presence was having on Cybertron before they ran across [[Holiday]] and [[Lofty]] who were seeking their niece, [[Scootaloo]]. Though Arcee readily offered her aid, a magically enthralled [[Killmaster]] arrived. Though both ponies and Autobots initially tried their hand at defeating the Decepticon, he was only defeated when Greenlight wrapped the ponies' yarn around him, which allowed Arcee to send him flying off. It was then that Scootaloo showed up, accompanied by a few Cybertronian youths. Content that the children were safe, the four adults enjoyed a picnic. {{storylink|A Real Mother}}

When the alliance sought to prevent King Sombra from reactivating [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], Arcee wielded [[Applejack]] as a weapon, even trying out some Equestrian slang, with the group succeeding in defeating the [[unicorn]] tyrant and making peace with the Decepticons. {{storylink|Finale (The Magic of Cybertron)|Finale}}

Following a Decepticon assault led by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], Arcee, alongside Rodimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Spike, were forced into taking cover within the [[Autobot Mausoleum]]; this did little to improve their situation, however, as the Decepticons continued their advance. Unexpectedly, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] rose from his tomb, providing hope that the tide may yet turn in the Autobots' favour. This was not to be, unfortunately, as the resurrected Autobot leader left the group stranded after having received the Matrix of leadership from Rodimus. After Optimus regained his senses, the Autobots were left to mourn their leader as he sacrificed himself once more to undo the Quintessons' trap. {{storylink|Dark Awakening (Legends)|Dark Awakening}} Arcee, Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, and Springer were trapped in human bodies by [[Victor Drath]] and [[Cobra Commander|Old Snake]], but still managed to foil the pair's plan to destroy Autobot City.

{{quote|And they were absolutely resistant to Arcee. I said I had a daughter who loves this stuff. There are other girls that like it. Put in a female Autobot!|[[Ron Friedman]], [http://toddmatthy.com/2013/12/31/he-killed-optimus-prime-an-interview-with-ron-friedman-writer-of-transformers-the-movie/]}}

*[[Ron Friedman]] fought for Arcee's inclusion in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' because his daughter was a Transformers fan, but Hasbro/Sunbow were very resistant. [http://toddmatthy.com/2013/12/31/he-killed-optimus-prime-an-interview-with-ron-friedman-writer-of-transformers-the-movie/]
*Arcee had two different [[character model]]s in 1980s ''Transformers'' media. An earlier model served as the [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Generation 1|basis for her original unproduced toy]], which was also the model used for most of her Marvel Comics appearances and parts of the episode "[[Only Human]]." Meanwhile, her appearances in ''The Transformers: The Movie'', the rest of her season 3 appearances, and her Japanese ''Headmasters'' appearances used her final model.
*Arcee's finalized character model was used to make many background female characters during the movie and season 3. Various Junkion ladies and the [[Paradron Medic]]s share her design, only without the shoulder-thingies, and a [[Cheesecake robot|more "shaped" version of her earlier model]] appeared in "[[Starscream's Ghost]]."
*When asked about Arcee's design in an interview, [[Floro Dery]]'s reply was, "Arcee is the naked mechanical equivalent of Princess Leia of ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]''."<ref>[http://transformersph.blogspot.com/2007/06/interview-with-floro-dery.html TransFormers Philippines: Interview With Floro Dery]</ref> Well, that answers that question... while raising a whole bunch of others!
*In 2010, a set of Arcee's original color models from ''The Transformers: The Movie'' went up for sale on Heritage Auctions, sold from [[Ron Friedman|Ron Friedman's]] collection of [[Sunbow Productions]] materials. In contrast to her final model and her original toy prototype, this early color model depicted her almost exclusively in shades of pink, save for some lavender on her collar, anklets, and [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] seats.
*[[Men in Black|Men in Black Collectibles]], the organizers of [[BotCon 1996]], attempted to produce an original "[[Action Master]]-inspired" Arcee figure as the '96 convention exclusive. As the steel tooling required to produce plastic action figures costs in the tens of thousands of dollars, this idea never went anywhere, and it is unknown whether MiB had entered into any actual discussions to license the use of the character besides. This figure was presumably unrelated to the actual Hasbro/Takara Action Master Arcee conceived a few years earlier.
*Around 1999, [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] released a special version of the Replica (reissue) [[Microman]] Lady Command figure as part of a [[Lucky Draw figure|lucky draw]] for "The Official Guide to Takara SF Land" book in white and gold chrome named Arcee. The regular versions of the Lady Command figure all had names starting with "A" (Ann, Alice, Annie and Ai<ref>[http://microforever.com/replicam18X.htm Replica Microman Series; Reissued Lady Command M181 Ann, M182 Alice, M183 Annie & M184 Ai (11/1999) at Microman Forever]</ref>), so Arcee makes sense by that logic - but whether this is an incarnation of "our" G1 character is currently not known. Only 5 Lady Command Arcee figures were released.<ref>[http://microforever.com/sflandprize.htm Replica Microman Series; Kodashan Takara SF Land Book Prize - Microman Lady Command Arcee (?/00) at Microman Forever]</ref>
*Arcee has the most romantic attachments of any Transformers character: Hot Rod in the movie, Marvel Comics, the Big Looker Storybooks, and Dreamwave continuities, Springer after the movie, Chromedome (and possibly Rodimus Prime) in ''The Headmasters'', Bumblebee in [[Devil's Due Press|Devil's Due]] continuity, and [[Aileron]] in the [[2005 IDW continuity]]. Then there's the weird affection shown toward Daniel in "[[The Rebirth, Part 3]]", but most fans won't read too much into it for their sanity.
*In [[2017]], Arcee was a candidate in the ''[[Power of the Primes (franchise)|Power of the Primes]]'' [[Fan polls|fan poll]] for the next bearer of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in ''Transformers'' lore. Although [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Power of the Primes|Optimus Primal]] was the ultimate victor, Hasbro created preliminary design sketches and “Evolution” mode names for all the candidates. When asked at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018, Design Manager [[John Warden]] could not remember what Arcee's name was but suggested that it was something along the lines of '''Arcana Magnus'''.<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/2018/07/new-info-about-war-for-cybertron-and-more-from-the-hasbro-preview-breakfast/ New Info About War For Cybertron and More from the Hasbro Preview Breakfast]</ref>

Most make the mistake of noticing only '''Arcee'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Female Transformer|gender]], but these first impressions are quickly expanded upon. Sure, she's pink, but she'll have swords down on you by the time you remember that's just the color of [[Transformer]] [[energon|blood]]. Arcee is a ruthless and deadly warrior who's an expert in hand-to-hand combat and one of the best sharpshooters on record. The reason for her ferocity is how much she cares for her fellow Autobots and especially the [[human]]s they protect. She knows how fragile her organic companions are, and she's equally aware of the evils of which the [[Decepticon]]s are capable. Peers such as [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] may be more durable than the humans, but she no less fights to defend them as well. They get in plenty of trouble, so someone has to keep their wits about them to pull them out of the fire when they get in over their heads.

She's sometimes [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s [[Relatives|sister]], and perhaps also [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]'s "great-aunt." Though she's known to flirt with Hot Rod, she's married to either [[Aileron]] or [[Greenlight]] in some universes. Sometimes she's even [[binary bonding|binary bonded]] to the human [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]].

{{main|Arcee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity}}
A close associate of [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], Arcee fought in both the [[Battle of Autobot City]] and the [[Unicron War]] in [[2005]]. Following that, she continued working closely with Rodimus Prime as one of his primary warriors. In [[2006]], she binary bonded with [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] to save his life, becoming a Headmaster.

In a splinter timeline, Arcee was a member of the [[Female Autobots]] and fought in the resistance against the Decepticons on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] while [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s crew lay dormant on [[Earth]]. In [[2011]], Arcee had not become a Headmaster in this timeline; she instead becomes a ''secretary'' for [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]].

{{note|The movie adaptation, originally published by Marvel US, is in italics}}
[[File:Arceeprimesrib.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|They're not men, Arcee. Transformers have no gender. We've been over this!]]
Arcee was constructed by the Autobots in an alternate future [[1995]] as a goodwill attempt to placate [[Feminist mob|angry feminists]] who thought that they were "sexist" for having no women in their group. After trying multiple times to explain that Autobots, being robots, had no gender, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] surrendered and ordered the creation of a new Autobot who would meet the humans' demands for sexual equality. However, when Arcee was unveiled at a public ceremony, her pink, skinny and curvaceous form enraged the very audience Prime intended to placate. [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]], [[Horri-Bull]], [[Fangry (G1)|Fangry]] and [[Squeezeplay (G1)|Squeezeplay]] immediately attacked, looking to crush the "secret weapon" that was promised. Prime warned Arcee to stay back, lest she get hurt in battle, but the female Autobot, rightfully annoyed at the Autobots' lack of faith in her equal ability, singlehandedly forced the Decepticons into a retreat. [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] thought that was pretty hot. The feminists were enraged beyond words. {{storylink|Prime's Rib!}}

Arcee was present at the opening of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in [[2004]] when a group of Decepticons led by Shockwave launched an attack, hoping to ruin Autobot-human relations permanently by assassinating several diplomats present. She helped shield the diplomats from harm until Hot Rod drove the attackers away. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

[[File:Springer arcee the planet eater.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]
''Arcee was present when the Decepticons launched a major offensive against Autobot City in the year [[2005]]. She and Springer transformed the outpost into its defensive mode, but the Decepticons nonetheless managed to breach its walls. The Autobots eventually drove Megatron and his troops away, but at a steep cost: Optimus had been fatally wounded in battle against his nemesis. Arcee afterward stood in solemn silence as Optimus passed on the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] before expiring on his death bed.'' {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}}

''After a brief respite, Arcee and the other Earthbound Autobots received dire news from [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]]; a monster planet, [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], was advancing menacingly towards Cybertron. When perched on Arcee's shoulder, Daniel was apprehensive about what would happen to his father should Unicron attack. There was little time to contemplate the situation, however, as a new enemy then assaulted the Autobots: [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. The Autobots were forced to split up into two groups and blast off aboard a couple of [[Autobot shuttle|shuttles]] in their attempt to escape him, but Galvatron remained in pursuit. In a last-ditch effort to lose the Decepticon, Magnus ordered an emergency separation of the shuttle. After Galvatron destroyed the jettisoned portion of the vessel (and declared the Matrix destroyed), Arcee's group landed their craft on the [[Junkion (planet)|Planet of Junk]] for repairs.'' {{storylink|Judgment Day!}}

[[File:Arcee daniel the final battle.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]
''When Daniel asked to be allowed to help with the repairs, Arcee brought out one of his father's [[Exosuit]]s from storage and helped the boy put it on. Though Daniel had trouble with the suit's workings, Arcee assured him that he was doing well for his first time operating it. The Autobots barely managed to get any work done before Galvatron tracked them down again. Galvatron blew Ultra Magnus to pieces in the ensuing battle and left with the Matrix of Leadership in hand. Arcee and her teammates gathered to look over Ultra Magnus afterward, only for the hostile [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] to then spring forth! Thankfully, another ship carrying Hot Rod and several other Autobots arrived and managed to talk peace with [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]], the Junkions' leader.

Wreck-Gar's troops rebuilt Ultra Magnus, and everyone on Junk readied for a confrontation against Unicron. This clash ended with the Autobots' ship spearing through the titan's eye. Arcee and the others were separated from Hot Rod within Unicron, but her group found Spike, Bumblebee, and [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]]. Hot Rod soon rejoined them, but in his absence, he reacquired the Matrix of Leadership, which both upgraded him into "Rodimus Prime" and begun a chain reaction inside Unicron, culminating in his destruction! With Unicron's threat now dealt with, the Autobots gathered around Rodimus Prime, who announced that this day would mark a new chapter in Cybertronian history, one that would hopefully contain much peace and happiness.'' {{storylink|The Final Battle!}}

[[File:Arceehotrodspacepirates.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Y'know, Arcee, if you'd stop running pigeon-toed, maybe we'd be out of here by now.]]
Though they had been quite friendly beforehand, Arcee and Hot Rod began to drift apart after his ascension to Prime status in [[2006]]. She remained stationed at Autobot City on Earth but grew bored by her duties. One day in [[2008]], Arcee decided to be a bit adventurous, rationalizing that ditching her duties and returning before anyone noticed wouldn't amount to any harm. After a quick drive through the countryside, she returned to base to find it under siege by the [[Quintesson]]s. Arcee was accosted, wounded, and strategically placed as bait so that Rodimus would see her upon investigating the attack on the outpost. Sure enough, when he spotted her, Rodimus rushed to his "childhood" friend's aid. When he tried to use the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] to heal her, Arcee tried to warn her leader of the set-up, but the trap was already sprung; the Quintessons stole the Matrix, and Rodimus Prime reverted to Hot Rod. Despite her injuries, Arcee was soon back on her feet and assisting Hot Rod in a last-ditch effort to thwart the invaders' plans. While she, and a few cassette-Transformers the Quintessons had overlooked, distracted the enemy army, Hot Rod awakened [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], leading to the devastation of the Quintesson fleet. Arcee witnessed Hot Rod retrieve the Matrix from the Quintesson who had swiped it, [[Ghyrik]], after defeating him through trickery. Seeing him hold his own without the Matrix's power renewed Arcee's wavering faith in her Commander. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

In [[2009]], Arcee tracked down [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] on Earth, where they were planning to use a laser bore to leech energy right from the [[Earth's core|planet's core]]. Joining a small Autobot detachment, they destroyed the drill. They returned to Autobot City to face the more significant threat: a [[Time rift|timestorm]] that threatened 20 years of history with destruction. As [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had spent months back in the 20th century, the universe was unraveling from the anomaly.

[[File:TimeWars3-ArceeDinobots.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Dinobots 1, Chivalry 0]]
Arcee, Rodimus, and several other Autobots traveled back in time to [[1989]] to retrieve the Decepticon villain. Unfortunately, the Autobots of that day mistook them for imposters and tried to kill them. Arcee was nearly mauled to death by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] before [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]] explained that they were travelers from the future. Even more, unfortunately, Galvatron had acquired some allies in the past: Scourge, [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ravage]], and the mighty [[Straxus (G1)|Megatron]]. She joined [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] in trying to triple-team Megatron, but was only swatted aside like a bothersome insect. Arcee survived, however, and managed to take a few cheap shots at Galvatron later on in the fight. Eventually, the timestorm asserted itself on the battle and consumed Galvatron utterly, ending the temporal distortion. {{storylink|Time Wars}}

Arcee and the Autobots returned to their time only to find it had reset, so Galvatron never time-jumped and had instead conquered Cybertron. Arcee and the returnees adjusted as best they could, but the odds were hopelessly against them. The resistance on Cybertron ended when Galvatron and his men ransacked a resistance station, killing [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and the other Autobots present. Galvatron mutilated the corpses to drive Rodimus Prime into a killing frenzy, hoping to corrupt the Matrix through its host. As she felt fire in the depths of her soul, Arcee managed to talk Rodimus down, reminding him of the actual values of an Autobot leader; compassion and mercy. Despite this moral victory, the Autobots' resistance movement was quickly crushed, and they were forced to leave their homeworld. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

Arcee joined a hundreds-strong Autobot team in fleeing to Earth to regroup. {{storylink|The Void! (UK)|The Void}} When the Matrix-imprisoned [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] possessed Rodimus and disabled the [[Future Autobot evacuation ship|ship]]'s retro-rockets, Kup had Arcee make her way to the damaged systems through the ship's air ducts. She successfully reached the sabotaged machinery and repaired them, but a crash-landing became inevitable by that time. After the Autobots' ship made landfall, their possessed leader began advancing on them, vowing to tear them apart for their interference. {{storylink|Edge of Impact}} Arcee showed a more ruthless side in being the only one of the Autobots to advocate using lethal force on him. Kup was more hesitant in doing so but eventually agreed with Arcee that Unicron had to be stopped, even at the expense of Rodimus's life. {{storylink|Shadow of Evil}}

Kup changed his mind when Unicron's assault came to an abrupt end; Rodimus was fighting back, distracting Unicron from the goings-on in the physical realm. The dark god regained control briefly, killing [[Strafe (G1)|Strafe]] in the process, and Arcee declared that Unicron had been "faking it" to lure them into a false sense of security. But Kup suspected otherwise and tackled down Rodimus to rip the Matrix out of his chest compartment. Though this released Rodimus from Unicron's control, it did not eliminate his threat; Rodimus declared that one day, he would have to venture back within the Matrix to confront Unicron again. {{storylink|White Fire}} As Unicron would go on to possess Rodimus again and devastate Cybertron in [[2010]]—an event she witnessed—Arcee's ruthless attitude appeared to have been the right one all along. Yes, Rodimus Prime managed to contain Unicron again, but at what price...? {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

Arcee was part of the crew of an Autobot ship that was studying the Universe. She asked Springer to make a note of a specific star. After being hit by meteors, they were forced to make landfall on the nearby Junk planet. There, she helped Springer and Perceptor fix the ship until the native Junkions attacked them. The fighting stopped when Kup arrived on-world and used the universal greeting to calm down the Junkions. Now friends, the Junkions and the Autobots, worked together to fix the damaged ship. Arcee and the Autobots then blasted off and went on their way. {{storylink|Battle on the Junk Planet}}

Kup led Hot Rod, Arcee, and the Dinobots on a special mission to take supplies from Earth to a space station on Cybertron's second moon. Despite Kup's warnings, the Dinobots loaded too many supplies onto the ship, and the ship crashed on a planet. Everyone landed safely, but Kup recognized the place. It was the planet [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintesson]]! They were interrupted by a tribal scream and a flurry of firestones. However, the boy who made his presence known was not aiming at them but the Quintessons behind them. The boy's name was [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], and he had been abandoned on the planet when his ship crashed there earlier.

Wheelie led them through the jungle, battling Quintessons along the way until they reached Wheelie's crashed ship. Hot Rod was able to fix it, and everyone left the planet Quintesson, Wheelie included! {{storylink|The Story of Wheelie, the Wild Boy of Quintesson}}

During a battle against a horde of killer [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbirds]], [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] (now an adult) sacrificed their lives to end the threat. Daniel's death took a severe toll on Arcee, who became reclusive, preferring to sit alone with images of her former [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster partner]]. Over time, she slipped away from her friends entirely, disappearing within [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. After an unspecified event, she took on the form of a techno-organic spider and learned the skills of both [[Crystalocution]] and the previously lost art of [[Tekkaido]]. She firmly believed that she had omens of her friends' deaths before they would happen, and this knowledge had driven her insane. She hid away, hoping to spare herself the pain of experiencing this phenomenon.

[[File:Arceedeparturespider.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Don't underestimate me, I'm more than just a pretty fa— well, just don't underestimate me, okay?]]
Hundreds of [[Units of time|stellar cycle]]s later when [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] returned from [[Earth]]'s past and conquered Cybertron with his army of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]], Arcee's solitude spared her from the onslaught. [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], now known simply as Rodimus, had helped form a new team of [[Wrecker]]s and wished to enlist Arcee. But Arcee rejected his offer as she was still too embittered by her experience, though she was touched by the Wrecker [[Fractyl]]'s words. Rodimus's Wreckers were followed by Megatron's new Vehicon generals, [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] and [[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]], causing a battle that resulted in Fractyl's near-death. Refusing to lose another, Arcee used her spark to save Fractyl, also reformatting him into a Transmetal body. Arcee agreed to depart with the rest of the Wreckers, and she and Fractyl assisted them in defeating a vast Vehicon army to reach an old [[Autobot shuttle]]. {{storylink|Departure}}

But the Autobot bounty hunter [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] had snuck aboard their ship and attacked some of their group. Arcee and the others raced to the rescue, and Arcee was quickly felled by Devcon, despite his new, smaller Vehicon body. After things were sorted out, Arcee tended to Fractyl, whose new Transmetal form was wildly unstable. At Arcee's insistence, [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] created a crude medical bot, [[CatSCAN]], to assist Fractyl's recovery. Arcee was oddly unable to foresee the deaths of [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]] and [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]], a result of a yet-unknown saboteur amongst their ranks, as she happily watched CatSCAN discover himself while working on Fractyl. Their ship set down on their [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]]-given destination, the remote planet of [[Akalo|Archa Nine]]. Arcee stayed behind with a few others to repair damage to their ship by their mysterious saboteur, who turned out to be the fellow Wrecker [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. Cyclonus stole the [[Divine Light]], the artifact the Wreckers were searching for, and returned to his true master, [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]]. {{storylink|Betrayal}}

[[File:Arceedisclosure.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Just like old times, but smaller.]]
Arcee blamed herself, as she hadn't been able to foresee death since she saved Fractyl. Demoralized, Arcee and the Wreckers left Archa Nine and headed to another planet at the insistence of their divinely-inspired leader, [[Primal Prime]]. They landed on a small icy planet, and a small scout team, including Arcee, was sent to investigate. After searching for hours, they stumbled upon [[Al-Badur]], a [[Quintesson]] scientist. Arcee immediately readied her weapon, as she and Rodimus had had enough of the Quintessons for several lifetimes, but Primal Prime asked her to lower them. Al-Badur was a somewhat welcome source of information regarding their quest, and before they could leave the planet with him, they were under attack by a horde of [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]] sent by Cryotek. Arcee and Rodimus quietly bonded as they battled the Sharkticons; it was just like old times. Slowly but surely, Arcee's demeanor had lightened. After the Sharkticons were defeated, Al-Badur explained their problem. The Divine Light was an ancient Quintesson piece of technology that allowed them to tap directly into the power of [[Primus]], and now Cryotek had it! {{storylink|Disclosure}}

But when they returned to Cybertron, it had changed during their absence into a [[technorganic]] paradise by the [[Great Transformation]]. Quintessons had seized the opportunity to invade the planet, but Primal Prime assured Arcee and the others that Cryotek was their only concern. Primal Prime, Apelinq, [[Ramulus]] and [[Tigatron]] left them to find Cryotek, leaving Arcee and the others to take their injured to safety before joining the counterattack forces on the ground. Instead, their shuttle took heavy damage and descended in a ball of fire and smoke—Arcee, grabbing Fractyl's body and what life support she could, abandoned ship with the rest. Disregarding Primal Prime's orders, Arcee suggested they find Cryotek and help the other Wreckers defeat him. Descending into the layers of Cybertron, they met [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], who joined them on their journey.

Finding the battleground between Cryotek and [[Sentinel Maximus]] (the combined form of Apelinq and Primal Prime, newly merged by Primus), Arcee reluctantly set aside Fractyl and his life support to join the fight. She helped Devcon defeat Cryotek's mutated pet [[Chro]], using her weblines to hold the monster still so the bounty hunter could shoot at it. But Cyclonus and Rodimus had disappeared beneath some rubble, so Arcee, Fractyl (who had been magically repaired by Tigatron expending all of his [[Vok]] powers) and the others went digging for him... and instead found [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]], [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]]... and Arcee's nephew, [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]. They avoided each other's glances awkwardly.

They found Rodimus, but he was in rough shape, having fought nearly to the death with Cyclonus. Arcee and the others agreed to follow Al-Badur's instruction in defeating Cryotek and helped direct the battle between Sentinel Maximus and Cryotek to a chamber deep within Cybertron. Arcee asked Fractyl to keep on Rodimus, who was extremely weak. Their group arrived in the desired room, but Arcee had a bad feeling about the place. It seemed familiar. She recognized it too late. It was a Quintesson banishment chamber, and Al-Badur had activated the containment shield within, locking Sentinel Maximus, Cryotek, and himself inside a forcefield bubble that fed into a strongly gravitational portal into nothingness. To Arcee's initial horror, despite her pleas, Rodimus stood up to deal with the situation. She knew that his following action would kill him in his weakened state, but after his assurances, she resigned herself to the outcome. Rodimus and Cheetor, both [[Matrix Templar]]s, used their skills to drain Cryotek of his Primus-stolen powers. As expected, this was too much for Arcee's long-time friend, and though they succeeded in saving Cybertron, Rodimus was dead.

But she realized death isn't an ending; it was just another change. "And change is what we do." Arcee and Fractyl gathered his body to take it to a secret burial ground that Arcee knew. She promised that this time, she wouldn't disappear forever. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:Dreamwave MMTE Arcee.jpeg|upright=1.1|left|thumb|]]
Before the war, Arcee worked in a hazardous materials treatment plant. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}} She became a member of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]'s underground rebellion team headquartered in the [[Wastelands]] during the reign of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. She was regarded as one of the team's odd ones along with [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]], though neither were unappreciated. Both [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and Hot Rod quickly fell in love with her. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} What no one knew, however, was that Arcee was a sleeper agent of the [[Quintesson]]s and a member of [[Female Autobots|their elite warriors]]. Her task was to keep an eye on the war's proceedings, particularly Autobot activity, and the location of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and any Transformers with an affinity for the object. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}} As such, Arcee was delighted when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] was brought to the rebels' base, much to Hot Rod's misguided annoyance. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} Since the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] were making a mess in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] at the time, Shockwave unleashed the [[Guardian robot|Omega Sentinels]] on the polity, forcing the rebels to make their final stand against him immediately. Arcee ended up teamed up with [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]—a situation that bugged Hot Rod because he couldn't keep an eye on her. Halfway through the battle, Arcee witnessed [[Shockwave's Tower]] shooting a beam of sorts to an [[Unicron/Generation 1|unknown destination]]. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}} Shortly after, she also witnessed the Decepticon hijack of [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]. Even with these setbacks, the Autobots won and reclaimed Iacon. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

[[File:LostandFound Arcee friends.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|"I'm glad you said that. I'll invite [[Female Autobots|them]] over [[Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Generation One|right away]]."]]
The Autobots set up a new [[Autobase]] in Iacon, where Springer and Hot Rod used relative peacetime to win Arcee's affection. Hot Rod had a date of sorts with Arcee to help prepare and watch the shuttle that would send a group of Autobots to [[Earth]] take off, but only after he'd be done training. Springer jumped onto the opportunity and offered to go with Arcee while Hot Rod was busy. Arcee accepted, much to Hot Rod's annoyance. At Landing Platform A, after they were done loading baggage, Arcee was lost in thoughts, of which a few she shared with Springer when he asked what was on her mind: Arcee wasn't sure of her purpose in life and if she belonged on Cybertron. Springer assured her she belonged with her friends.

Over at [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]], Arcee's masters observed the proceedings on Cybertron with glee, noting that not only had they found another Transformer with an affinity for the Matrix in Hot Rod, but their own agent Arcee would work perfectly as a key to break his will. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} The Quintessons' plans would even be able to be executed well ahead of time by the Autobots' next move. Arcee was selected to leave with Kup, Springer, and the Dinobots to set up a new moonbase, while Hot Rod was chosen for guard duty at Autobase with only Gnaw and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] to assist him. Arcee's report on this situation got the Quintessons to send her colleagues for Hot Rod and the Matrix. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

{{Unreleased DW G1 comic}}
In the shuttle, taking them all to one of Cybertron's moons, Arcee witnessed an amusing conversation between Kup and [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]]. The view outside drew back her attention, though, where an [[Quintesson Cruiser|odd-looking object]] floated in wait for the shuttle. {{storylink|Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Issue 11|Generation 1 #11}}

To oversee the decommissioning of all Cybertronian technology on Earth, Arcee was sent to the planet alongside [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], the last of which whom she had a mutual attraction. Shortly after the group arrived at [[Area 52 (G1)|Area 52]], the facility came under attack by [[Cobra]], and Arcee helped fight them off alongside [[Scarlett]], who was surprised over the existence of "girl robots." {{storylink|The Art of War issue 1|The Art of War #1}} Upon hearing about a security breach in the lower levels of Area 52, the group headed there and, to Arcee's horror, found Bumblebee injured and low on energy. Before the group could do much about him, they were attacked by [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]], who took control of [[G.I. Joe battle mech|G.I. Joes' mechs]] and forced them to fight the Autobots before bringing the roof down on everyone. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2|The Art of War #2}}

The Autobots and Joes survived and quickly followed Serpent O.R. through a warp gate to Cybertron, where they were attacked by [[cannibalizer]]s. Arcee didn't think they were very threatening but suggested that they retreat to protect the humans. During their escape, she promised that she'd rotate Bumblebee's tires if he could outrace her... only to run straight into Serpent O.R. and his new army, who remorselessly killed Bumblebee and captured the others. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} They eventually managed to escape thanks to their G.I.

After hearing that Serpent O.R. had captured [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Arcee and the others made their way to his chambers, only to find that [[Cobra Commander]] had taken control of Serpent O.R.'s body after he had seized the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. "Serpentor Prime" effortlessly defeated most of the Autobots and Joes, but Arcee dodged his tentacles and managed to rip his chestplate off, allowing [[Hawk (G.I.

Sibling of [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]], '''Arcee of the [[Darklands]]''' was an ancient warrior, hailing from the prehistoric era that predated modern Transformer civilization, serving under the fearsome tyrant [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] during the wars that led to the unification of Cybertron under the [[Thirteen]]. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} "Forged male," Arcee would eventually seek out the assistance of the amoral scientist [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] for assistance, after the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]]. Seeking to reintroduce the concept of "gender" to the species after its mysterious elimination, Arcee would be altered at the genetic level—but Jhiaxus's callous treatment of his patient would change Arcee into a raging berserker. She could only focus on exacting bloody revenge against him and all that he had created, {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}} {{storylink|Post}} finally getting even with her tormentor after the thwarting of [[Nova Prime]]'s [[Expansion]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

It would not be until after the end of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] that Arcee would truly embark on the long road to recovery; first falling in with the amoral [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] as a private enforcer, {{storylink|A Better Tomorrow}} and later with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}} Arcee was able to slowly work past her many demons, finding companionship, camaraderie, and even [[Transformer romance|love]] in her new role as Optimus Prime's advisor—having lived through the era of the Thirteen and experienced their many atrocities firsthand, Arcee remained unafraid to call out her new leader as he verged closer and closer to repeating their mistakes. But when those mistakes came home to roost in the form of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], {{storylink|Unstopped and Unstoppable}} Arcee played an instrumental role in the battle against the planet-eater before settling into a new life on Earth with [[Aileron]]. {{storylink|Post}}

Arcee was Optimus's strong-willed and humble friend. With the rest of Autobots, they boarded the Ark to search for Energon among the stars. They came to Earth and fought back against the Decepticons when they started trouble. Arcee leaped up to bring Starscream down to the ground, where Drift shoved him into a river!

Part of the crew of the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' when the ship left Cybertron four million years ago, Arcee, the other Autobots, and Megatron's Decepticons crash-landed on Earth some four million years ago, reawakening to wage a secret war for control of Earth's [[energon]]. Eventually, the outbreak of the [[Eugenics Wars]] and [[World War III]] around the turn of the millennium prompted them to flee the planet aboard the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and search for Energon elsewhere in the galaxy. The Autobots were unaware that the Decepticons had done the same until they were attacked by the Decepticon Titan [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] over the barren moon of [[Cygnus Seven]]. In the ensuing battle, the damaged Fortress Maximus crashed into the surface of the planet, knocking him and all of his passengers—Autobot and Decepticon alike—into [[stasis lock]] for some two hundred years.

In the 23rd century, [[Federation]] colonists conducting a routine [[dilithium]] mining operation stumbled on the dormant Transformers, inadvertently triggering the Titan's autonomous repair protocols. First, bringing the Decepticons online, the evil Transformers attacked the Federation colony. At the same time, Optimus Prime gave chase, {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Two}} and the other Autobots had only just been restored to full functionality before [[James T. Kirk|Captain Kirk]] and the crew of the starship ''[[USS Enterprise|Enterprise]]'' sent an away team to investigate the mineshaft. {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part One}}

[[File:PrimesDirectivePart3-Arcee.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Though the Autobots, distrustful of humanity after witnessing their ancient wars, attempted to capture the humans, Kirk convinced them of their good intentions. The two factions brokered an alliance to rescue the wounded Optimus—only for the Decepticons to cave in the mineshaft. It was [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] who hatched a new plan to bring Fortress Maximus back online, {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Two}} with Arcee watching as he rigged up a device that would reactivate the Titan by analyzing Kirk's brainwaves. Despite [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]]'s doubts, the plan worked, and Fortress Maximus was restored to full functionality, his alternate mode reconfigured into a copy of the ''Enterprise'' linked to Kirk's consciousness. Blasting his way to freedom, Arcee and the other Autobots rolled out to take on the Decepticons and their new [[Klingon]] allies, with Arcee facing off against her old nemesis [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]] until the arrival of Trypticon. After Kirk rescued the Federation miners by beaming them and Arcee aboard, he transformed the ship into the mighty "Fortress Tiberius." {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Three}}

Joined by [[Crewbot|a series of custom-built mechanical suit]]s, the Autobots leaped into action against Megatron and his allies.

[[File:ArceeGreenlightRun-Arcee.jpg|thumb|left|250px|I've only had Gauge for a day and a half, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.]]
Arcee was a particularly feared soldier during the [[War of the Threefold Spark]] and spearheaded at least one assassination mission that targeted one of [[Exarchon]]'s many iterations. Following the end of the war and the ratification of the [[Nominus Edict]], Arcee settled into a peaceful civilian life and eventually romanced [[Greenlight]]. However, she remained a skilled fighter with a short temper. {{storylink|Arcee/Greenlight: Run}}

Following [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]]'s murder, the Senate authorized the [[Reproduction|forging]] of a new Transformer and selected Arcee to mentor the young Cybertronian. At the customary ceremony at in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s [[Pyramid (Cybertron)|Pyramid]], Arcee and Greenlight met their new ward [[Gauge]] and helped welcome her into the world. Observing these events, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] told [[Rubble]] that the newborn had essentially received two mentors for the price of one. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}}

Arcee grew very protective of Gauge, quick to lash out when people suggested she had been forged as a political move to take people's minds off Brainstorm's death. As tensions grew between the Autobots and [[Decepticon|Ascenticon]]s, Greenlight initially suggested taking Gauge off-world aboard an outbound [[Reversionist]] vessel: a suggestion that Arcee initially disagreed with, fearing that uprooting Gauge at this crucial stage might impact her development. Following [[Vigilem]]'s destruction of the [[Tether]], however, the three tried to help with rescue efforts until a confrontation with [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] and [[Singe]] at a nearby [[energon storage field]] made up Arcee's mind. The three raced to board the Reversionist starship ''[[Exodus (G1 ship)|Exodus]]'' on the outskirts of Iacon. Although Arcee nearly sacrificed herself to get her ward safely off-planet, she was able to board the ship at the last moment and rejoined her family. {{storylink|Arcee/Greenlight: Run}}

[[File:GaugingTheTruthPart2-ExodusBrig.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Throw her in the brig!" "We don't have a brig." "Then throw her in the laundry room. Which will hereafter be referred to as 'the brig'."]]
However, Reversionist plenary [[Heretech]] was displeased by the presence of non-Reversionists aboard the ship, fearing that they would interfere with his grand plan to cleanse Cybertron of heresy. He and the other Reversionists forcibly separated Gauge from her mentors and had them imprisoned in a makeshift brig in the bowels of the ship's engine room. The Reversionist curate [[Accelerator]] reprogrammed Gauge so that she'd forget her old life with her mentors. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth for a Truth|A Truth for a Truth}} Aware that Heretech was planning something sinister, but unaware of the specifics, Greenlight was able to hack into the ship's systems and sent a message to Gauge telling her to come and find them. When she did so, Arcee and Greenlight introduced themselves to their former mentee and explained that they wanted to tell her the truth. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth: Part One}}

Using a [[Cortical psychic patch|psychic patch]], Arcee and Greenlight got Gauge to trust them by helping her remember what happened before boarding the ''Exodus''. Then they asked her to deactivate the bars to their cage—a dangerous task that would involve infiltrating Heretech's private quarters. Gauge did so, and as the ''Exodus'' returned to Cybertron, Arcee and Greenlight successfully broke out and subdued the guards sent to stop them. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth for a Truth|A Truth for a Truth}} As the Reversionists began their attack on the planet, Arcee and Greenlight escaped the ''Exodus'' to warn Cybertron's inhabitants of the impending attack, then intervened to help Gauge stop Heretech using their alternate modes. Arcee and Gauge teamed up to incapacitate Heretech with a mass of exploding Energon; in the aftermath, the three elected to stay behind on Cybertron together. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Three: Moment of Truth|Moment of Truth}}

Arcee took up arms with Optimus Prime and the Autobots against the conquest of Cybertron by the Decepticons.

Arcee was one of the many dormant Autobots aboard the ''Ark'' in 1984. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Two}} In the original timeline, she survived long enough to become known to [[Skynet]] and receive a threat level of "maximum."

After being reactivated and reformatted in the altered timeline, Arcee became the reluctant overseer of the [[T-800]], a time-traveling android whose interference spared the Autobots from being executed by the Decepticons. After showing him the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s weapon locker and conducting a perimeter sweep, unaware that he'd secretly scattered explosives around the area, Arcee responded to Bumblebee's call for reinforcements at a [[Cyberdyne Systems]] facility. Eager as ever for a fight, Arcee threw herself at Thundercracker, impaling the Seeker's nosecone with her sword. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Three}}

Though Arcee managed to slay [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]], the Autobots were still outnumbered and quickly boxed in. Salvation came when Starscream betrayed the Decepticons and shot Soundwave in the back; the distraction allowing Arcee to slam Skywarp into Thundercracker and take both out of the fight. After Bumblebee and [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]] had defeated the other two Insecticons, [[Sarah Connor]] called the Autobots to aid the bisected T-800. Arcee threw him into Megatron's open wound and allowed him to destroy the tyrant from inside. After Arcee loaded the captured Decepticons into Optimus' trailer, the Autobots returned to the ''Ark'' to find the volcano destroyed. Recognizing that the T-800 had done this, Arcee cursed herself for trusting the android before the Autobots and Decepticons agreed to a truce.

Arcee accompanied the Energon scavenger Bumblebee, and fellow Autobot Cog on a mission to steal a supply of Energon to fuel The Ark. Bumblebee brought them to the den of the [[mercenary]] [[Soundblaster (G1)|Soundblaster]]. On approach to Soundblaster's throne, Arcee pointed out that he looked like Soundwave; Bumblebee suggested ''not'' bringing up the topic to Soundblaster, as he was sensitive about being a failed clone. Bumblebee successfully deceived Soundblaster into thinking that Arcee and Cog were his new apprentices in the Energon scavenging business. Taken down to the vault, Arcee sprung into action, with Cog transforming into a weapon for her to use and holding back the guards while Bumblebee stole Energon. However, before the trio could leave, Soundblaster arrived, having caught on from the start thanks to surveillance from [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]]. Soundblaster also decided that since Arcee and Cog were valuable as Autobots, he'd cash them in for profit. He then had Arcee, Cog and Bumblebee surrounded. {{storylink|Siege episode 5}}

Outnumbered, Arcee and the others prepared for the inevitable fight, but the arrival of Shockwave's virus affected the [[Dome Guard]]s' weapons. The distraction gave the Autobots the chance to escape. Yet, with Bumblebee incapacitated from the sudden loss of the [[Alpha Trion Protocols]], Arcee was left to take the wheel of a speeder, which she used to escape with Bumblebee and Cog. They reached Autobot Command with the needed energon just as the Decepticons launched their attack. Arcee and Cog brought the Energon to the ship, enabling it to take flight. Arcee remained aboard the Ark for the duration of the battle and assisted in holding back the attacking Decepticons.

After befriending Rarity, she teamed up with her to defeat Starscream, [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. {{storylink|Shine Like a Diamond}}

When the Decepticons and [[changeling]]s attacked the [[Crystal Empire]], Arcee was part of the force that defended it, slamming into [[Shrapnel (G1)|Skrapnel]] before engaging [[Crasher (G1)|Crasher]]. When the Autobots later returned to Cybertron, Arcee confirmed that everyone who had been dragged to Equestria had been returned home. {{storylink|Finale (Friendship in Disguise!)|Finale}}

Following the release of [[King Sombra]] on Cybertron, Arcee and [[Greenlight]] began noticing the strange effects his presence was having on Cybertron before they ran across [[Holiday]] and [[Lofty]] who were seeking their niece, [[Scootaloo]]. Though Arcee readily offered her aid, a magically enthralled [[Killmaster]] arrived. Though both ponies and Autobots initially tried their hand at defeating the Decepticon, he was only defeated when Greenlight wrapped the ponies' yarn around him, which allowed Arcee to send him flying off. It was then that Scootaloo showed up, accompanied by a few Cybertronian youths. Content that the children were safe, the four adults enjoyed a picnic. {{storylink|A Real Mother}}

When the alliance sought to prevent King Sombra from reactivating [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], Arcee wielded [[Applejack]] as a weapon, even trying out some Equestrian slang, with the group succeeding in defeating the [[unicorn]] tyrant and making peace with the Decepticons. {{storylink|Finale (The Magic of Cybertron)|Finale}}

Arcee was part of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita 1]]'s team as they made a series of raids on Decepticon bases. Unfortunately, her nemesis [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]]'s knowledge of her tactics allowed the Decepticon to put a stop to the team's successful run. {{storylink|Fatal Furies}} At some point, she changed her color scheme from blue to pink.

Arcee was still an active participant in the Autobot/Decepticon war when Ultra Magnus decided to reunite with his unit from the planet Junkion, only to be attacked by the Insecticons. {{storylink|Junkion Reunion}} When [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Kup (G1)|Kup]], and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] were abducted by [[Skuxxoid]]s during the [[Galactic Olympics|Galactic Games]], Arcee, and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] gave chase. Instead of finding the Skuxxoids, they caught up with [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]], just as their leader had a vision that the [[Quintesson]]s were behind the kidnapping. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness: Part 1}}

Following a Decepticon assault led by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], Arcee, alongside Rodimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Spike, were forced into taking cover within the [[Autobot Mausoleum]]; this did little to improve their situation, however, as the Decepticons continued their advance. Unexpectedly, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] rose from his tomb, providing hope that the tide may yet turn in the Autobots' favour. This was not to be, unfortunately, as the resurrected Autobot leader left the group stranded after having received the Matrix of leadership from Rodimus. After Optimus regained his senses, the Autobots were left to mourn their leader as he sacrificed himself once more to undo the Quintessons' trap. {{storylink|Dark Awakening (Legends)|Dark Awakening}} Arcee, Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, and Springer were trapped in human bodies by [[Victor Drath]] and [[Cobra Commander|Old Snake]], but still managed to foil the pair's plan to destroy Autobot City. They were later successfully returned to their robot bodies. {{storylink|Only Human (Legends)|Only Human}}

In the aftermath of the restoration of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Arcee was part of a team led by [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] which attempted to map the changes to their planet.

Appearances... can be deceptive. Quick-witted and formidable in battle, Arcee is compassionate to her allies but utterly ruthless to her enemies. Streamlined bodywork and light alloy construction only mean she's faster, more agile, and ultimately deadlier than most of her fellow Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars| Arcee Bio}}

Arcee had been dispatched on a mission by Optimus Prime but ran into trouble when [[Nightbird (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Nightbird]] caught up to her.

However, as the battle on Earth heats up, Optimus sent a signal for Arcee to return to the Autobots.

{{quote|And they were absolutely resistant to Arcee. I said I had a daughter who loves this stuff. There are other girls that like it. Put in a female Autobot!|[[Ron Friedman]], [http://toddmatthy.com/2013/12/31/he-killed-optimus-prime-an-interview-with-ron-friedman-writer-of-transformers-the-movie/]}}

*[[Ron Friedman]] fought for Arcee's inclusion in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' because his daughter was a Transformers fan, but Hasbro/Sunbow were very resistant. [http://toddmatthy.com/2013/12/31/he-killed-optimus-prime-an-interview-with-ron-friedman-writer-of-transformers-the-movie/]
*Arcee had two different [[character model]]s in 1980s ''Transformers'' media. An earlier model served as the [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Generation 1|basis for her original unproduced toy]], which was also the model used for most of her Marvel Comics appearances and parts of the episode "[[Only Human]]." Meanwhile, her appearances in ''The Transformers: The Movie'', the rest of her season 3 appearances, and her Japanese ''Headmasters'' appearances used her final model.
*Arcee's finalized character model was used to make many background female characters during the movie and season 3. Various Junkion ladies and the [[Paradron Medic]]s share her design, only without the shoulder-thingies, and a [[Cheesecake robot|more "shaped" version of her earlier model]] appeared in "[[Starscream's Ghost]]."
*When asked about Arcee's design in an interview, [[Floro Dery]]'s reply was, "Arcee is the naked mechanical equivalent of Princess Leia of ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]''."<ref>[http://transformersph.blogspot.com/2007/06/interview-with-floro-dery.html TransFormers Philippines: Interview With Floro Dery]</ref> Well, that answers that question... while raising a whole bunch of others!
*In 2010, a set of Arcee's original color models from ''The Transformers: The Movie'' went up for sale on Heritage Auctions, sold from [[Ron Friedman|Ron Friedman's]] collection of [[Sunbow Productions]] materials. In contrast to her final model and her original toy prototype, this early color model depicted her almost exclusively in shades of pink, save for some lavender on her collar, anklets, and [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] seats.
*[[Men in Black|Men in Black Collectibles]], the organizers of [[BotCon 1996]], attempted to produce an original "[[Action Master]]-inspired" Arcee figure as the '96 convention exclusive. As the steel tooling required to produce plastic action figures costs in the tens of thousands of dollars, this idea never went anywhere, and it is unknown whether MiB had entered into any actual discussions to license the use of the character besides. This figure was presumably unrelated to the actual Hasbro/Takara Action Master Arcee conceived a few years earlier.
*Around 1999, [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] released a special version of the Replica (reissue) [[Microman]] Lady Command figure as part of a [[Lucky Draw figure|lucky draw]] for "The Official Guide to Takara SF Land" book in white and gold chrome named Arcee. The regular versions of the Lady Command figure all had names starting with "A" (Ann, Alice, Annie and Ai<ref>[http://microforever.com/replicam18X.htm Replica Microman Series; Reissued Lady Command M181 Ann, M182 Alice, M183 Annie & M184 Ai (11/1999) at Microman Forever]</ref>), so Arcee makes sense by that logic - but whether this is an incarnation of "our" G1 character is currently not known. Only 5 Lady Command Arcee figures were released.<ref>[http://microforever.com/sflandprize.htm Replica Microman Series; Kodashan Takara SF Land Book Prize - Microman Lady Command Arcee (?/00) at Microman Forever]</ref>
*Arcee has the most romantic attachments of any Transformers character: Hot Rod in the movie, Marvel Comics, the Big Looker Storybooks, and Dreamwave continuities, Springer after the movie, Chromedome (and possibly Rodimus Prime) in ''The Headmasters'', Bumblebee in [[Devil's Due Press|Devil's Due]] continuity, and [[Aileron]] in the [[2005 IDW continuity]]. Then there's the weird affection shown toward Daniel in "[[The Rebirth, Part 3]]", but most fans won't read too much into it for their sanity.
*In [[2017]], Arcee was a candidate in the ''[[Power of the Primes (franchise)|Power of the Primes]]'' [[Fan polls|fan poll]] for the next bearer of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in ''Transformers'' lore. Although [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Power of the Primes|Optimus Primal]] was the ultimate victor, Hasbro created preliminary design sketches and “Evolution” mode names for all the candidates. When asked at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018, Design Manager [[John Warden]] could not remember what Arcee's name was but suggested that it was something along the lines of '''Arcana Magnus'''.<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/2018/07/new-info-about-war-for-cybertron-and-more-from-the-hasbro-preview-breakfast/ New Info About War For Cybertron and More from the Hasbro Preview Breakfast]</ref>

Most make the mistake of noticing only '''Arcee'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Female Transformer|gender]], but these first impressions are quickly expanded upon. Sure, she's pink, but she'll have swords down on you by the time you remember that's just the color of [[Transformer]] [[energon|blood]]. Arcee is a ruthless and deadly warrior who's an expert in hand-to-hand combat and one of the best sharpshooters on record. The reason for her ferocity is how much she cares for her fellow Autobots and especially the [[human]]s they protect. She knows how fragile her organic companions are, and she's equally aware of the evils of which the [[Decepticon]]s are capable. Peers such as [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] may be more durable than the humans, but she no less fights to defend them as well. They get in plenty of trouble, so someone has to keep their wits about them to pull them out of the fire when they get in over their heads.

She's sometimes [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s [[Relatives|sister]], and perhaps also [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]'s "great-aunt." Though she's known to flirt with Hot Rod, she's married to either [[Aileron]] or [[Greenlight]] in some universes. Sometimes she's even [[binary bonding|binary bonded]] to the human [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]].

{{main|Arcee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity}}
A close associate of [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], Arcee fought in both the [[Battle of Autobot City]] and the [[Unicron War]] in [[2005]]. Following that, she continued working closely with Rodimus Prime as one of his primary warriors. In [[2006]], she binary bonded with [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] to save his life, becoming a Headmaster.

In a splinter timeline, Arcee was a member of the [[Female Autobots]] and fought in the resistance against the Decepticons on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] while [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s crew lay dormant on [[Earth]]. In [[2011]], Arcee had not become a Headmaster in this timeline; she instead becomes a ''secretary'' for [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]].

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel UK future timelines====
{{note|The movie adaptation, originally published by Marvel US, is in italics}}
[[File:Arceeprimesrib.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|They're not men, Arcee. Transformers have no gender. We've been over this!]]
Arcee was constructed by the Autobots in an alternate future [[1995]] as a goodwill attempt to placate [[Feminist mob|angry feminists]] who thought that they were "sexist" for having no women in their group. After trying multiple times to explain that Autobots, being robots, had no gender, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] surrendered and ordered the creation of a new Autobot who would meet the humans' demands for sexual equality. However, when Arcee was unveiled at a public ceremony, her pink, skinny and curvaceous form enraged the very audience Prime intended to placate. [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]], [[Horri-Bull]], [[Fangry (G1)|Fangry]] and [[Squeezeplay (G1)|Squeezeplay]] immediately attacked, looking to crush the "secret weapon" that was promised. Prime warned Arcee to stay back, lest she get hurt in battle, but the female Autobot, rightfully annoyed at the Autobots' lack of faith in her equal ability, singlehandedly forced the Decepticons into a retreat. [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] thought that was pretty hot. The feminists were enraged beyond words. {{storylink|Prime's Rib!}}

Arcee was present at the opening of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in [[2004]] when a group of Decepticons led by Shockwave launched an attack, hoping to ruin Autobot-human relations permanently by assassinating several diplomats present. She helped shield the diplomats from harm until Hot Rod drove the attackers away. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

[[File:Springer arcee the planet eater.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]
''Arcee was present when the Decepticons launched a major offensive against Autobot City in the year [[2005]]. She and Springer transformed the outpost into its defensive mode, but the Decepticons nonetheless managed to breach its walls. The Autobots eventually drove Megatron and his troops away, but at a steep cost: Optimus had been fatally wounded in battle against his nemesis. Arcee afterward stood in solemn silence as Optimus passed on the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] before expiring on his death bed.'' {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}}

''After a brief respite, Arcee and the other Earthbound Autobots received dire news from [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]]; a monster planet, [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], was advancing menacingly towards Cybertron. When perched on Arcee's shoulder, Daniel was apprehensive about what would happen to his father should Unicron attack. There was little time to contemplate the situation, however, as a new enemy then assaulted the Autobots: [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. The Autobots were forced to split up into two groups and blast off aboard a couple of [[Autobot shuttle|shuttles]] in their attempt to escape him, but Galvatron remained in pursuit. In a last-ditch effort to lose the Decepticon, Magnus ordered an emergency separation of the shuttle. After Galvatron destroyed the jettisoned portion of the vessel (and declared the Matrix destroyed), Arcee's group landed their craft on the [[Junkion (planet)|Planet of Junk]] for repairs.'' {{storylink|Judgment Day!}}

[[File:Arcee daniel the final battle.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]
''When Daniel asked to be allowed to help with the repairs, Arcee brought out one of his father's [[Exosuit]]s from storage and helped the boy put it on. Though Daniel had trouble with the suit's workings, Arcee assured him that he was doing well for his first time operating it. The Autobots barely managed to get any work done before Galvatron tracked them down again. Galvatron blew Ultra Magnus to pieces in the ensuing battle and left with the Matrix of Leadership in hand. Arcee and her teammates gathered to look over Ultra Magnus afterward, only for the hostile [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] to then spring forth! Thankfully, another ship carrying Hot Rod and several other Autobots arrived and managed to talk peace with [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]], the Junkions' leader.

Wreck-Gar's troops rebuilt Ultra Magnus, and everyone on Junk readied for a confrontation against Unicron. This clash ended with the Autobots' ship spearing through the titan's eye. Arcee and the others were separated from Hot Rod within Unicron, but her group found Spike, Bumblebee, and [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]]. Hot Rod soon rejoined them, but in his absence, he reacquired the Matrix of Leadership, which both upgraded him into "Rodimus Prime" and begun a chain reaction inside Unicron, culminating in his destruction! With Unicron's threat now dealt with, the Autobots gathered around Rodimus Prime, who announced that this day would mark a new chapter in Cybertronian history, one that would hopefully contain much peace and happiness.'' {{storylink|The Final Battle!}}

[[File:Arceehotrodspacepirates.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Y'know, Arcee, if you'd stop running pigeon-toed, maybe we'd be out of here by now.]]
Though they had been quite friendly beforehand, Arcee and Hot Rod began to drift apart after his ascension to Prime status in [[2006]]. She remained stationed at Autobot City on Earth but grew bored by her duties. One day in [[2008]], Arcee decided to be a bit adventurous, rationalizing that ditching her duties and returning before anyone noticed wouldn't amount to any harm. After a quick drive through the countryside, she returned to base to find it under siege by the [[Quintesson]]s. Arcee was accosted, wounded, and strategically placed as bait so that Rodimus would see her upon investigating the attack on the outpost. Sure enough, when he spotted her, Rodimus rushed to his "childhood" friend's aid. When he tried to use the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] to heal her, Arcee tried to warn her leader of the set-up, but the trap was already sprung; the Quintessons stole the Matrix, and Rodimus Prime reverted to Hot Rod. Despite her injuries, Arcee was soon back on her feet and assisting Hot Rod in a last-ditch effort to thwart the invaders' plans. While she, and a few cassette-Transformers the Quintessons had overlooked, distracted the enemy army, Hot Rod awakened [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], leading to the devastation of the Quintesson fleet. Arcee witnessed Hot Rod retrieve the Matrix from the Quintesson who had swiped it, [[Ghyrik]], after defeating him through trickery. Seeing him hold his own without the Matrix's power renewed Arcee's wavering faith in her Commander. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

In [[2009]], Arcee tracked down [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] on Earth, where they were planning to use a laser bore to leech energy right from the [[Earth's core|planet's core]]. Joining a small Autobot detachment, they destroyed the drill. They returned to Autobot City to face the more significant threat: a [[Time rift|timestorm]] that threatened 20 years of history with destruction. As [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had spent months back in the 20th century, the universe was unraveling from the anomaly.

[[File:TimeWars3-ArceeDinobots.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Dinobots 1, Chivalry 0]]
Arcee, Rodimus, and several other Autobots traveled back in time to [[1989]] to retrieve the Decepticon villain. Unfortunately, the Autobots of that day mistook them for imposters and tried to kill them. Arcee was nearly mauled to death by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] before [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]] explained that they were travelers from the future. Even more, unfortunately, Galvatron had acquired some allies in the past: Scourge, [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ravage]], and the mighty [[Straxus (G1)|Megatron]]. She joined [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] in trying to triple-team Megatron, but was only swatted aside like a bothersome insect. Arcee survived, however, and managed to take a few cheap shots at Galvatron later on in the fight. Eventually, the timestorm asserted itself on the battle and consumed Galvatron utterly, ending the temporal distortion. {{storylink|Time Wars}}

Arcee and the Autobots returned to their time only to find it had reset, so Galvatron never time-jumped and had instead conquered Cybertron. Arcee and the returnees adjusted as best they could, but the odds were hopelessly against them. The resistance on Cybertron ended when Galvatron and his men ransacked a resistance station, killing [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and the other Autobots present. Galvatron mutilated the corpses to drive Rodimus Prime into a killing frenzy, hoping to corrupt the Matrix through its host. As she felt fire in the depths of her soul, Arcee managed to talk Rodimus down, reminding him of the actual values of an Autobot leader; compassion and mercy. Despite this moral victory, the Autobots' resistance movement was quickly crushed, and they were forced to leave their homeworld. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

Arcee joined a hundreds-strong Autobot team in fleeing to Earth to regroup. {{storylink|The Void! (UK)|The Void}} When the Matrix-imprisoned [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] possessed Rodimus and disabled the [[Future Autobot evacuation ship|ship]]'s retro-rockets, Kup had Arcee make her way to the damaged systems through the ship's air ducts. She successfully reached the sabotaged machinery and repaired them, but a crash-landing became inevitable by that time. After the Autobots' ship made landfall, their possessed leader began advancing on them, vowing to tear them apart for their interference. {{storylink|Edge of Impact}} Arcee showed a more ruthless side in being the only one of the Autobots to advocate using lethal force on him. Kup was more hesitant in doing so but eventually agreed with Arcee that Unicron had to be stopped, even at the expense of Rodimus's life. {{storylink|Shadow of Evil}}

Kup changed his mind when Unicron's assault came to an abrupt end; Rodimus was fighting back, distracting Unicron from the goings-on in the physical realm. The dark god regained control briefly, killing [[Strafe (G1)|Strafe]] in the process, and Arcee declared that Unicron had been "faking it" to lure them into a false sense of security. But Kup suspected otherwise and tackled down Rodimus to rip the Matrix out of his chest compartment. Though this released Rodimus from Unicron's control, it did not eliminate his threat; Rodimus declared that one day, he would have to venture back within the Matrix to confront Unicron again. {{storylink|White Fire}} As Unicron would go on to possess Rodimus again and devastate Cybertron in [[2010]]—an event she witnessed—Arcee's ruthless attitude appeared to have been the right one all along. Yes, Rodimus Prime managed to contain Unicron again, but at what price...? {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

Arcee was part of the crew of an Autobot ship that was studying the Universe. She asked Springer to make a note of a specific star. After being hit by meteors, they were forced to make landfall on the nearby Junk planet. There, she helped Springer and Perceptor fix the ship until the native Junkions attacked them. The fighting stopped when Kup arrived on-world and used the universal greeting to calm down the Junkions. Now friends, the Junkions and the Autobots, worked together to fix the damaged ship. Arcee and the Autobots then blasted off and went on their way. {{storylink|Battle on the Junk Planet}}

Kup led Hot Rod, Arcee, and the Dinobots on a special mission to take supplies from Earth to a space station on Cybertron's second moon. Despite Kup's warnings, the Dinobots loaded too many supplies onto the ship, and the ship crashed on a planet. Everyone landed safely, but Kup recognized the place. It was the planet [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintesson]]! They were interrupted by a tribal scream and a flurry of firestones. However, the boy who made his presence known was not aiming at them but the Quintessons behind them. The boy's name was [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], and he had been abandoned on the planet when his ship crashed there earlier.

Wheelie led them through the jungle, battling Quintessons along the way until they reached Wheelie's crashed ship. Hot Rod was able to fix it, and everyone left the planet Quintesson, Wheelie included! {{storylink|The Story of Wheelie, the Wild Boy of Quintesson}}

During a battle against a horde of killer [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbirds]], [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] (now an adult) sacrificed their lives to end the threat. Daniel's death took a severe toll on Arcee, who became reclusive, preferring to sit alone with images of her former [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster partner]]. Over time, she slipped away from her friends entirely, disappearing within [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. After an unspecified event, she took on the form of a techno-organic spider and learned the skills of both [[Crystalocution]] and the previously lost art of [[Tekkaido]]. She firmly believed that she had omens of her friends' deaths before they would happen, and this knowledge had driven her insane. She hid away, hoping to spare herself the pain of experiencing this phenomenon.

[[File:Arceedeparturespider.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Don't underestimate me, I'm more than just a pretty fa— well, just don't underestimate me, okay?]]
Hundreds of [[Units of time|stellar cycle]]s later when [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] returned from [[Earth]]'s past and conquered Cybertron with his army of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]], Arcee's solitude spared her from the onslaught. [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], now known simply as Rodimus, had helped form a new team of [[Wrecker]]s and wished to enlist Arcee. But Arcee rejected his offer as she was still too embittered by her experience, though she was touched by the Wrecker [[Fractyl]]'s words. Rodimus's Wreckers were followed by Megatron's new Vehicon generals, [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] and [[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]], causing a battle that resulted in Fractyl's near-death. Refusing to lose another, Arcee used her spark to save Fractyl, also reformatting him into a Transmetal body. Arcee agreed to depart with the rest of the Wreckers, and she and Fractyl assisted them in defeating a vast Vehicon army to reach an old [[Autobot shuttle]]. {{storylink|Departure}}

But the Autobot bounty hunter [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] had snuck aboard their ship and attacked some of their group. Arcee and the others raced to the rescue, and Arcee was quickly felled by Devcon, despite his new, smaller Vehicon body. After things were sorted out, Arcee tended to Fractyl, whose new Transmetal form was wildly unstable. At Arcee's insistence, [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] created a crude medical bot, [[CatSCAN]], to assist Fractyl's recovery. Arcee was oddly unable to foresee the deaths of [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]] and [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]], a result of a yet-unknown saboteur amongst their ranks, as she happily watched CatSCAN discover himself while working on Fractyl. Their ship set down on their [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]]-given destination, the remote planet of [[Akalo|Archa Nine]]. Arcee stayed behind with a few others to repair damage to their ship by their mysterious saboteur, who turned out to be the fellow Wrecker [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. Cyclonus stole the [[Divine Light]], the artifact the Wreckers were searching for, and returned to his true master, [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]]. {{storylink|Betrayal}}

[[File:Arceedisclosure.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Just like old times, but smaller.]]
Arcee blamed herself, as she hadn't been able to foresee death since she saved Fractyl. Demoralized, Arcee and the Wreckers left Archa Nine and headed to another planet at the insistence of their divinely-inspired leader, [[Primal Prime]]. They landed on a small icy planet, and a small scout team, including Arcee, was sent to investigate. After searching for hours, they stumbled upon [[Al-Badur]], a [[Quintesson]] scientist. Arcee immediately readied her weapon, as she and Rodimus had had enough of the Quintessons for several lifetimes, but Primal Prime asked her to lower them. Al-Badur was a somewhat welcome source of information regarding their quest, and before they could leave the planet with him, they were under attack by a horde of [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]] sent by Cryotek. Arcee and Rodimus quietly bonded as they battled the Sharkticons; it was just like old times. Slowly but surely, Arcee's demeanor had lightened. After the Sharkticons were defeated, Al-Badur explained their problem. The Divine Light was an ancient Quintesson piece of technology that allowed them to tap directly into the power of [[Primus]], and now Cryotek had it! {{storylink|Disclosure}}

But when they returned to Cybertron, it had changed during their absence into a [[technorganic]] paradise by the [[Great Transformation]]. Quintessons had seized the opportunity to invade the planet, but Primal Prime assured Arcee and the others that Cryotek was their only concern. Primal Prime, Apelinq, [[Ramulus]] and [[Tigatron]] left them to find Cryotek, leaving Arcee and the others to take their injured to safety before joining the counterattack forces on the ground. Instead, their shuttle took heavy damage and descended in a ball of fire and smoke—Arcee, grabbing Fractyl's body and what life support she could, abandoned ship with the rest. Disregarding Primal Prime's orders, Arcee suggested they find Cryotek and help the other Wreckers defeat him. Descending into the layers of Cybertron, they met [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], who joined them on their journey.

Finding the battleground between Cryotek and [[Sentinel Maximus]] (the combined form of Apelinq and Primal Prime, newly merged by Primus), Arcee reluctantly set aside Fractyl and his life support to join the fight. She helped Devcon defeat Cryotek's mutated pet [[Chro]], using her weblines to hold the monster still so the bounty hunter could shoot at it. But Cyclonus and Rodimus had disappeared beneath some rubble, so Arcee, Fractyl (who had been magically repaired by Tigatron expending all of his [[Vok]] powers) and the others went digging for him... and instead found [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]], [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]]... and Arcee's nephew, [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]. They avoided each other's glances awkwardly.

They found Rodimus, but he was in rough shape, having fought nearly to the death with Cyclonus. Arcee and the others agreed to follow Al-Badur's instruction in defeating Cryotek and helped direct the battle between Sentinel Maximus and Cryotek to a chamber deep within Cybertron. Arcee asked Fractyl to keep on Rodimus, who was extremely weak. Their group arrived in the desired room, but Arcee had a bad feeling about the place. It seemed familiar. She recognized it too late. It was a Quintesson banishment chamber, and Al-Badur had activated the containment shield within, locking Sentinel Maximus, Cryotek, and himself inside a forcefield bubble that fed into a strongly gravitational portal into nothingness. To Arcee's initial horror, despite her pleas, Rodimus stood up to deal with the situation. She knew that his following action would kill him in his weakened state, but after his assurances, she resigned herself to the outcome. Rodimus and Cheetor, both [[Matrix Templar]]s, used their skills to drain Cryotek of his Primus-stolen powers. As expected, this was too much for Arcee's long-time friend, and though they succeeded in saving Cybertron, Rodimus was dead.

But she realized death isn't an ending; it was just another change. "And change is what we do." Arcee and Fractyl gathered his body to take it to a secret burial ground that Arcee knew. She promised that this time, she wouldn't disappear forever. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:Dreamwave MMTE Arcee.jpeg|upright=1.1|left|thumb|]]
Before the war, Arcee worked in a hazardous materials treatment plant. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}} She became a member of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]'s underground rebellion team headquartered in the [[Wastelands]] during the reign of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. She was regarded as one of the team's odd ones along with [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]], though neither were unappreciated. Both [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and Hot Rod quickly fell in love with her. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} What no one knew, however, was that Arcee was a sleeper agent of the [[Quintesson]]s and a member of [[Female Autobots|their elite warriors]]. Her task was to keep an eye on the war's proceedings, particularly Autobot activity, and the location of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and any Transformers with an affinity for the object. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}} As such, Arcee was delighted when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] was brought to the rebels' base, much to Hot Rod's misguided annoyance. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} Since the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] were making a mess in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] at the time, Shockwave unleashed the [[Guardian robot|Omega Sentinels]] on the polity, forcing the rebels to make their final stand against him immediately. Arcee ended up teamed up with [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]—a situation that bugged Hot Rod because he couldn't keep an eye on her. Halfway through the battle, Arcee witnessed [[Shockwave's Tower]] shooting a beam of sorts to an [[Unicron/Generation 1|unknown destination]]. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}} Shortly after, she also witnessed the Decepticon hijack of [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]. Even with these setbacks, the Autobots won and reclaimed Iacon. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

[[File:LostandFound Arcee friends.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|"I'm glad you said that. I'll invite [[Female Autobots|them]] over [[Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Generation One|right away]]."]]
The Autobots set up a new [[Autobase]] in Iacon, where Springer and Hot Rod used relative peacetime to win Arcee's affection. Hot Rod had a date of sorts with Arcee to help prepare and watch the shuttle that would send a group of Autobots to [[Earth]] take off, but only after he'd be done training. Springer jumped onto the opportunity and offered to go with Arcee while Hot Rod was busy. Arcee accepted, much to Hot Rod's annoyance. At Landing Platform A, after they were done loading baggage, Arcee was lost in thoughts, of which a few she shared with Springer when he asked what was on her mind: Arcee wasn't sure of her purpose in life and if she belonged on Cybertron. Springer assured her she belonged with her friends.

Over at [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]], Arcee's masters observed the proceedings on Cybertron with glee, noting that not only had they found another Transformer with an affinity for the Matrix in Hot Rod, but their own agent Arcee would work perfectly as a key to break his will. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} The Quintessons' plans would even be able to be executed well ahead of time by the Autobots' next move. Arcee was selected to leave with Kup, Springer, and the Dinobots to set up a new moonbase, while Hot Rod was chosen for guard duty at Autobase with only Gnaw and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] to assist him. Arcee's report on this situation got the Quintessons to send her colleagues for Hot Rod and the Matrix. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

{{Unreleased DW G1 comic}}
In the shuttle, taking them all to one of Cybertron's moons, Arcee witnessed an amusing conversation between Kup and [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]]. The view outside drew back her attention, though, where an [[Quintesson Cruiser|odd-looking object]] floated in wait for the shuttle. {{storylink|Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Issue 11|Generation 1 #11}}

To oversee the decommissioning of all Cybertronian technology on Earth, Arcee was sent to the planet alongside [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], the last of which whom she had a mutual attraction. Shortly after the group arrived at [[Area 52 (G1)|Area 52]], the facility came under attack by [[Cobra]], and Arcee helped fight them off alongside [[Scarlett]], who was surprised over the existence of "girl robots." {{storylink|The Art of War issue 1|The Art of War #1}} Upon hearing about a security breach in the lower levels of Area 52, the group headed there and, to Arcee's horror, found Bumblebee injured and low on energy. Before the group could do much about him, they were attacked by [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]], who took control of [[G.I. Joe battle mech|G.I. Joes' mechs]] and forced them to fight the Autobots before bringing the roof down on everyone. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2|The Art of War #2}}

The Autobots and Joes survived and quickly followed Serpent O.R. through a warp gate to Cybertron, where they were attacked by [[cannibalizer]]s. Arcee didn't think they were very threatening but suggested that they retreat to protect the humans. During their escape, she promised that she'd rotate Bumblebee's tires if he could outrace her... only to run straight into Serpent O.R. and his new army, who remorselessly killed Bumblebee and captured the others. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} They eventually managed to escape thanks to their G.I.

After hearing that Serpent O.R. had captured [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Arcee and the others made their way to his chambers, only to find that [[Cobra Commander]] had taken control of Serpent O.R.'s body after he had seized the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. "Serpentor Prime" effortlessly defeated most of the Autobots and Joes, but Arcee dodged his tentacles and managed to rip his chestplate off, allowing [[Hawk (G.I.

Sibling of [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]], '''Arcee of the [[Darklands]]''' was an ancient warrior, hailing from the prehistoric era that predated modern Transformer civilization, serving under the fearsome tyrant [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] during the wars that led to the unification of Cybertron under the [[Thirteen]]. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} "Forged male," Arcee would eventually seek out the assistance of the amoral scientist [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] for assistance, after the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]].

[[File:PrimesDirectivePart2-Arcee.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]
Part of the crew of the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' when the ship left Cybertron four million years ago, Arcee, the other Autobots, and Megatron's Decepticons crash-landed on Earth some four million years ago, reawakening to wage a secret war for control of Earth's [[energon]]. Eventually, the outbreak of the [[Eugenics Wars]] and [[World War III]] around the turn of the millennium prompted them to flee the planet aboard the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and search for Energon elsewhere in the galaxy. The Autobots were unaware that the Decepticons had done the same until they were attacked by the Decepticon Titan [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] over the barren moon of [[Cygnus Seven]]. In the ensuing battle, the damaged Fortress Maximus crashed into the surface of the planet, knocking him and all of his passengers—Autobot and Decepticon alike—into [[stasis lock]] for some two hundred years.

In the 23rd century, [[Federation]] colonists conducting a routine [[dilithium]] mining operation stumbled on the dormant Transformers, inadvertently triggering the Titan's autonomous repair protocols. First, bringing the Decepticons online, the evil Transformers attacked the Federation colony. At the same time, Optimus Prime gave chase, {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Two}} and the other Autobots had only just been restored to full functionality before [[James T. Kirk|Captain Kirk]] and the crew of the starship ''[[USS Enterprise|Enterprise]]'' sent an away team to investigate the mineshaft. {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part One}}

[[File:PrimesDirectivePart3-Arcee.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Though the Autobots, distrustful of humanity after witnessing their ancient wars, attempted to capture the humans, Kirk convinced them of their good intentions. The two factions brokered an alliance to rescue the wounded Optimus—only for the Decepticons to cave in the mineshaft. It was [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] who hatched a new plan to bring Fortress Maximus back online, {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Two}} with Arcee watching as he rigged up a device that would reactivate the Titan by analyzing Kirk's brainwaves. Despite [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]]'s doubts, the plan worked, and Fortress Maximus was restored to full functionality, his alternate mode reconfigured into a copy of the ''Enterprise'' linked to Kirk's consciousness. Blasting his way to freedom, Arcee and the other Autobots rolled out to take on the Decepticons and their new [[Klingon]] allies, with Arcee facing off against her old nemesis [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]] until the arrival of Trypticon. After Kirk rescued the Federation miners by beaming them and Arcee aboard, he transformed the ship into the mighty "Fortress Tiberius." {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Three}}

[[File:PrimesDirective5-autobots.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Though Kirk successfully defeated Trypticon, the heroes learned that [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] already absconded with a load of stolen [[dilithium]], intent on conquering the [[Klingon Empire]] and their capital world of [[Kronos]], {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Four}} forcing the two ''Enterprises'' and their crews to give chase. Joined by [[Crewbot|a series of custom-built mechanical suit]]s, the Autobots leaped into action against Megatron and his allies. Though one of Soundwave's sonic frequencies paralyzed them, it would be the Klingons themselves who successfully thwarted the attempted invasion. In the aftermath, Arcee and the other Autobots chose not to return to Earth with the crew of the ''Enterprise'', preferring to travel the stars, but Prime pledged that he and his soldiers would be on call if Kirk ever required their assistance. {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Five}}

When the Great War ended, Arcee was left feeling rudderless in this era of newfound peace. Despite having a bad day in which she had her housing loan rejected, and later picked a fight with a reckless driver, a greeting from her pet robot cat when she came home prompted her to muse that maybe peacetime wasn't so bad. {{storylink|An Arcee Sort of Day}}

[[File:ArceeGreenlightRun-Arcee.jpg|thumb|left|250px|I've only had Gauge for a day and a half, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.]]
Arcee was a particularly feared soldier during the [[War of the Threefold Spark]] and spearheaded at least one assassination mission that targeted one of [[Exarchon]]'s many iterations. Following the end of the war and the ratification of the [[Nominus Edict]], Arcee settled into a peaceful civilian life and eventually romanced [[Greenlight]]. However, she remained a skilled fighter with a short temper. {{storylink|Arcee/Greenlight: Run}}

Following [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]]'s murder, the Senate authorized the [[Reproduction|forging]] of a new Transformer and selected Arcee to mentor the young Cybertronian. At the customary ceremony at in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s [[Pyramid (Cybertron)|Pyramid]], Arcee and Greenlight met their new ward [[Gauge]] and helped welcome her into the world. Observing these events, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] told [[Rubble]] that the newborn had essentially received two mentors for the price of one. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}}

Arcee grew very protective of Gauge, quick to lash out when people suggested she had been forged as a political move to take people's minds off Brainstorm's death. As tensions grew between the Autobots and [[Decepticon|Ascenticon]]s, Greenlight initially suggested taking Gauge off-world aboard an outbound [[Reversionist]] vessel: a suggestion that Arcee initially disagreed with, fearing that uprooting Gauge at this crucial stage might impact her development. Following [[Vigilem]]'s destruction of the [[Tether]], however, the three tried to help with rescue efforts until a confrontation with [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] and [[Singe]] at a nearby [[energon storage field]] made up Arcee's mind. The three raced to board the Reversionist starship ''[[Exodus (G1 ship)|Exodus]]'' on the outskirts of Iacon. Although Arcee nearly sacrificed herself to get her ward safely off-planet, she was able to board the ship at the last moment and rejoined her family. {{storylink|Arcee/Greenlight: Run}}

[[File:GaugingTheTruthPart2-ExodusBrig.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Throw her in the brig!" "We don't have a brig." "Then throw her in the laundry room. Which will hereafter be referred to as 'the brig'."]]
However, Reversionist plenary [[Heretech]] was displeased by the presence of non-Reversionists aboard the ship, fearing that they would interfere with his grand plan to cleanse Cybertron of heresy. He and the other Reversionists forcibly separated Gauge from her mentors and had them imprisoned in a makeshift brig in the bowels of the ship's engine room. The Reversionist curate [[Accelerator]] reprogrammed Gauge so that she'd forget her old life with her mentors. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth for a Truth|A Truth for a Truth}} Aware that Heretech was planning something sinister, but unaware of the specifics, Greenlight was able to hack into the ship's systems and sent a message to Gauge telling her to come and find them. When she did so, Arcee and Greenlight introduced themselves to their former mentee and explained that they wanted to tell her the truth. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth: Part One}}

Using a [[Cortical psychic patch|psychic patch]], Arcee and Greenlight got Gauge to trust them by helping her remember what happened before boarding the ''Exodus''. Then they asked her to deactivate the bars to their cage—a dangerous task that would involve infiltrating Heretech's private quarters. Gauge did so, and as the ''Exodus'' returned to Cybertron, Arcee and Greenlight successfully broke out and subdued the guards sent to stop them. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth for a Truth|A Truth for a Truth}} As the Reversionists began their attack on the planet, Arcee and Greenlight escaped the ''Exodus'' to warn Cybertron's inhabitants of the impending attack, then intervened to help Gauge stop Heretech using their alternate modes. Arcee and Gauge teamed up to incapacitate Heretech with a mass of exploding Energon; in the aftermath, the three elected to stay behind on Cybertron together. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Three: Moment of Truth|Moment of Truth}}

Arcee took up arms with Optimus Prime and the Autobots against the conquest of Cybertron by the Decepticons. She assisted [[Pyra Magna]] at [[Protihex]] to recover who and what they could before the city-state fell. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I}} Arcee was at the Autobranding ceremony in [[Crystal City]] where those opposed to the Decepticons united under the Autobot badge. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I}}
When they learned [[Termagax]] had the [[Enigma of Combination]] by the [[Sea of Rust]], Arcee joined Pyra Magna and a tactical unit in securing the location. She was positioned on the roof of Termagax's [[House (building)|House]] as a sniper with [[Sureshot (G1)|Sureshot]] and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]. They shot down the [[Rainmakers]] when the Decepticons arrived to make their own claim to the Enigma. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust II}} Still, she and Sureshot were unprepared for the sudden arrival of the teleporting [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. He evaded their sniper fire, and the Enigma was ultimately lost in the Sea of Rust. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}}

[[File:EnemyOfMyEnemyPartThree-Arcee.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Arcee was one of the many dormant Autobots aboard the ''Ark'' in 1984. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Two}} In the original timeline, she survived long enough to become known to [[Skynet]] and receive a threat level of "maximum."

After being reactivated and reformatted in the altered timeline, Arcee became the reluctant overseer of the [[T-800]], a time-traveling android whose interference spared the Autobots from being executed by the Decepticons. After showing him the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s weapon locker and conducting a perimeter sweep, unaware that he'd secretly scattered explosives around the area, Arcee responded to Bumblebee's call for reinforcements at a [[Cyberdyne Systems]] facility. Eager as ever for a fight, Arcee threw herself at Thundercracker, impaling the Seeker's nosecone with her sword. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Three}}

Though Arcee managed to slay [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]], the Autobots were still outnumbered and quickly boxed in. Salvation came when Starscream betrayed the Decepticons and shot Soundwave in the back; the distraction allowing Arcee to slam Skywarp into Thundercracker and take both out of the fight. After Bumblebee and [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]] had defeated the other two Insecticons, [[Sarah Connor]] called the Autobots to aid the bisected T-800. Arcee threw him into Megatron's open wound and allowed him to destroy the tyrant from inside. After Arcee loaded the captured Decepticons into Optimus' trailer, the Autobots returned to the ''Ark'' to find the volcano destroyed. Recognizing that the T-800 had done this, Arcee cursed herself for trusting the android before the Autobots and Decepticons agreed to a truce. In the months and years that followed, Sarah Connor got a job at [[Skywatch]] and used her connections to keep an eye on her Cybertronian friends, including Arcee. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Four}}

[[File:SiegeEpisode5-WeaponizedCog.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Arcee accompanied the Energon scavenger Bumblebee, and fellow Autobot Cog on a mission to steal a supply of Energon to fuel The Ark. Bumblebee brought them to the den of the [[mercenary]] [[Soundblaster (G1)|Soundblaster]]. On approach to Soundblaster's throne, Arcee pointed out that he looked like Soundwave; Bumblebee suggested ''not'' bringing up the topic to Soundblaster, as he was sensitive about being a failed clone. Bumblebee successfully deceived Soundblaster into thinking that Arcee and Cog were his new apprentices in the Energon scavenging business. Taken down to the vault, Arcee sprung into action, with Cog transforming into a weapon for her to use and holding back the guards while Bumblebee stole Energon. However, before the trio could leave, Soundblaster arrived, having caught on from the start thanks to surveillance from [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]]. Soundblaster also decided that since Arcee and Cog were valuable as Autobots, he'd cash them in for profit. He then had Arcee, Cog and Bumblebee surrounded. {{storylink|Siege episode 5}}

Outnumbered, Arcee and the others prepared for the inevitable fight, but the arrival of Shockwave's virus affected the [[Dome Guard]]s' weapons. The distraction gave the Autobots the chance to escape. Yet, with Bumblebee incapacitated from the sudden loss of the [[Alpha Trion Protocols]], Arcee was left to take the wheel of a speeder, which she used to escape with Bumblebee and Cog. They reached Autobot Command with the needed energon just as the Decepticons launched their attack. Arcee and Cog brought the Energon to the ship, enabling it to take flight. Arcee remained aboard the Ark for the duration of the battle and assisted in holding back the attacking Decepticons. She was aboard the ''Ark'' when it flew into the space bridge. {{storylink|Siege episode 6}}

Having been knocked unconscious by the jump, Arcee was among the Autobots captured by [[Doubledealer]] and the crew of the ''[[Fool's Fortune]]'' and brought to the Quintesson [[Deseeus]] on [[Chaar]] for judgment. However, after teaming up with the Mercenaries that had first captured them, the Autobots fought off Deseeus' private army and escaped back aboard the ''Ark''. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 2}} Arcee joined Optimus, Bumblebee, Wheeljack, and Sideswipe aboard [[Nebulos]] Station and helped fight off [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], sealing the door to keep him out and providing cover fire for Optimus. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 3}} While Scorponok was preoccupied fighting the Decepticons, she and the other Autobots made their escape, only for Starscream to fire on the station, sending the ''Ark'' and its crew into the [[Dead Universe]]. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 4}}

Arcee remained onboard the ''Ark'' while Optimus spoke to [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and later observed Earth once they escaped. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 5}} However, the Decepticons were close behind and boarded the ''Ark''. Their fight was then interrupted by the ''Fool's Fortune''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s arrival, helmed by a Deseeus-controlled Doubledealer. As a result of the Mercenary ship's destruction, the ''Ark'' and its crew were sent crashing down to Earth. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 6}}

{{bigquote|Ferocity without compassion is brutality.}}
After Cybertron fell, the Autobots left their homeworld aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'', traveling through space in pursuit of the [[AllSpark]]. Arcee was a [[Cybertronian military insignia|Ground Command Special Ops Sergeant]], {{storylink|Arcee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' toy packaging}} whose function was a warrior. Her primary objective was to achieve victory, and her primary weapons were [[Energon battle pistol|Energon pistol]]s. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' webpage}}<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/earthrise ''Earthrise'' website]</ref>

Closer than ever to reaching the [[AllSpark]], the Autobots awakened after crash-landing on pre-Ice Age Earth. While battling the Decepticons, both sides were joined by the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, their epic battle changing their combined destinies.

During this period, Arcee [[trans-scan]]ed into a sports car. Her Energon pistols and speed were her powers and weapons, and her core traits were her ferocity, fearlessness, and protectiveness. Arcee's message from the future was that her cooperation with mysterious new allies will lead to heroic ends. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' webpage}}<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/kingdom ''Kingdom'' webpage]</ref>

After befriending Rarity, she teamed up with her to defeat Starscream, [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. {{storylink|Shine Like a Diamond}}

When the Decepticons and [[changeling]]s attacked the [[Crystal Empire]], Arcee was part of the force that defended it, slamming into [[Shrapnel (G1)|Skrapnel]] before engaging [[Crasher (G1)|Crasher]]. When the Autobots later returned to Cybertron, Arcee confirmed that everyone who had been dragged to Equestria had been returned home. {{storylink|Finale (Friendship in Disguise!)|Finale}}

Following the release of [[King Sombra]] on Cybertron, Arcee and [[Greenlight]] began noticing the strange effects his presence was having on Cybertron before they ran across [[Holiday]] and [[Lofty]] who were seeking their niece, [[Scootaloo]]. Though Arcee readily offered her aid, a magically enthralled [[Killmaster]] arrived. Though both ponies and Autobots initially tried their hand at defeating the Decepticon, he was only defeated when Greenlight wrapped the ponies' yarn around him, which allowed Arcee to send him flying off. It was then that Scootaloo showed up, accompanied by a few Cybertronian youths. Content that the children were safe, the four adults enjoyed a picnic. {{storylink|A Real Mother}}

When the alliance sought to prevent King Sombra from reactivating [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], Arcee wielded [[Applejack]] as a weapon, even trying out some Equestrian slang, with the group succeeding in defeating the [[unicorn]] tyrant and making peace with the Decepticons. {{storylink|Finale (The Magic of Cybertron)|Finale}}

Following a Decepticon assault led by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], Arcee, alongside Rodimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Spike, were forced into taking cover within the [[Autobot Mausoleum]]; this did little to improve their situation, however, as the Decepticons continued their advance. Unexpectedly, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] rose from his tomb, providing hope that the tide may yet turn in the Autobots' favour. This was not to be, unfortunately, as the resurrected Autobot leader left the group stranded after having received the Matrix of leadership from Rodimus.

Put in a female Autobot!|[[Ron Friedman]], [http://toddmatthy.com/2013/12/31/he-killed-optimus-prime-an-interview-with-ron-friedman-writer-of-transformers-the-movie/]}}

*[[Ron Friedman]] fought for Arcee's inclusion in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' because his daughter was a Transformers fan, but Hasbro/Sunbow were very resistant. [http://toddmatthy.com/2013/12/31/he-killed-optimus-prime-an-interview-with-ron-friedman-writer-of-transformers-the-movie/]
*Arcee had two different [[character model]]s in 1980s ''Transformers'' media. An earlier model served as the [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Generation 1|basis for her original unproduced toy]], which was also the model used for most of her Marvel Comics appearances and parts of the episode "[[Only Human]]." Meanwhile, her appearances in ''The Transformers: The Movie'', the rest of her season 3 appearances, and her Japanese ''Headmasters'' appearances used her final model.
*Arcee's finalized character model was used to make many background female characters during the movie and season 3. Various Junkion ladies and the [[Paradron Medic]]s share her design, only without the shoulder-thingies, and a [[Cheesecake robot|more "shaped" version of her earlier model]] appeared in "[[Starscream's Ghost]]."
*When asked about Arcee's design in an interview, [[Floro Dery]]'s reply was, "Arcee is the naked mechanical equivalent of Princess Leia of ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]''."<ref>[http://transformersph.blogspot.com/2007/06/interview-with-floro-dery.html TransFormers Philippines: Interview With Floro Dery]</ref> Well, that answers that question... while raising a whole bunch of others!
*In 2010, a set of Arcee's original color models from ''The Transformers: The Movie'' went up for sale on Heritage Auctions, sold from [[Ron Friedman|Ron Friedman's]] collection of [[Sunbow Productions]] materials. In contrast to her final model and her original toy prototype, this early color model depicted her almost exclusively in shades of pink, save for some lavender on her collar, anklets, and [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] seats.
*[[Men in Black|Men in Black Collectibles]], the organizers of [[BotCon 1996]], attempted to produce an original "[[Action Master]]-inspired" Arcee figure as the '96 convention exclusive. As the steel tooling required to produce plastic action figures costs in the tens of thousands of dollars, this idea never went anywhere, and it is unknown whether MiB had entered into any actual discussions to license the use of the character besides. This figure was presumably unrelated to the actual Hasbro/Takara Action Master Arcee conceived a few years earlier.
*Around 1999, [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] released a special version of the Replica (reissue) [[Microman]] Lady Command figure as part of a [[Lucky Draw figure|lucky draw]] for "The Official Guide to Takara SF Land" book in white and gold chrome named Arcee. The regular versions of the Lady Command figure all had names starting with "A" (Ann, Alice, Annie and Ai<ref>[http://microforever.com/replicam18X.htm Replica Microman Series; Reissued Lady Command M181 Ann, M182 Alice, M183 Annie & M184 Ai (11/1999) at Microman Forever]</ref>), so Arcee makes sense by that logic - but whether this is an incarnation of "our" G1 character is currently not known. Only 5 Lady Command Arcee figures were released.<ref>[http://microforever.com/sflandprize.htm Replica Microman Series; Kodashan Takara SF Land Book Prize - Microman Lady Command Arcee (?/00) at Microman Forever]</ref>
*Arcee has the most romantic attachments of any Transformers character: Hot Rod in the movie, Marvel Comics, the Big Looker Storybooks, and Dreamwave continuities, Springer after the movie, Chromedome (and possibly Rodimus Prime) in ''The Headmasters'', Bumblebee in [[Devil's Due Press|Devil's Due]] continuity, and [[Aileron]] in the [[2005 IDW continuity]]. Then there's the weird affection shown toward Daniel in "[[The Rebirth, Part 3]]", but most fans won't read too much into it for their sanity.
*In [[2017]], Arcee was a candidate in the ''[[Power of the Primes (franchise)|Power of the Primes]]'' [[Fan polls|fan poll]] for the next bearer of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in ''Transformers'' lore. Although [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Power of the Primes|Optimus Primal]] was the ultimate victor, Hasbro created preliminary design sketches and “Evolution” mode names for all the candidates. When asked at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018, Design Manager [[John Warden]] could not remember what Arcee's name was but suggested that it was something along the lines of '''Arcana Magnus'''.<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/2018/07/new-info-about-war-for-cybertron-and-more-from-the-hasbro-preview-breakfast/ New Info About War For Cybertron and More from the Hasbro Preview Breakfast]</ref>

Quintesson Judge (G1)

:''The Quintesson Judge is a type of [[Quintesson]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:QuintessonTFMMarvel.jpg|thumb|300px]]

Leaders of the [[Quintesson]] race, the '''Quintesson Judges''' determine the sentences of their unfortunate victims in [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]]'s courtrooms and serve as the face of their many business and war excursions.

{{bigquote|All shall be judged.|Quintesson Judge's ''Earthrise''<ref name="earthrise">[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/earthrise ''Earthrise'' webpage]</ref> motto}}

==Faces==
A Quintesson Judge's most distinctive physical characteristic is its set of five rotating faces. Each face represents a different aspect of the Quintesson, and not only does their physical sequence vary, so do their meanings. The only face identified during the run of the original ''Transformers'' cartoon was the "Face of Death", memorably called out directly by the narrator of the ''[[Secret Files of Teletraan II]]''.

The script for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''—the first appearance of the Quintessons—called for the other four faces to be "angry", "smiling", "grimacing", and "suspicious", and artist [[Floro Dery]] designed the faces to represent these emotions. A spread in the January 1987 issue of Japan's ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'' would also reflect this intent, using mostly direct translations of the English descriptors—''Shi'' (死, "Death"), ''Ikari'' (怒り, "Anger"), ''Warai'' (笑い, "Laughter"), ''Jūmen'' (渋面, "Grimace"), and ''Utagai'' (疑い, "Suspicion"). This would remain unknown to Western audiences until circa 2002, when fan [[Andrew Hall]] provided a translation, identifying the faces as "Rage", "Laughter", "Bitterness", and "Doubt".

These newly translated designations were not prevalent in the fandom at the time, so when author [[Simon Furman]] penned the 2004 book, ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'', he invented his own names for the other four faces. While he struck lucky dubbing the "angry" face "Wrath", the others—"War", "Wisdom", and "Judgement"—have no connection to the actual intent behind the Quintessons' design.

In 2020, the Quintessons made their big comeback as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' franchise. The instruction manual for the Quintesson Pit of Judgement multi-pack (see [[#War for Cybertron Trilogy|below]]) gave the "smiling" face the new name of "Wit", while using a mix of established names for the others; these names were reinforced by their use in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''Earthrise'' cartoon]], which was released a few months later.

*'''Quintesson Judge''' (Voyager Class, [[2020]])
**''Hasbro ID number'': '''WFC-E22'''
**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''ER EX-08'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[August 29]], 2020
**''Accessories:'' Blaster, cage, throne, levitation beam

: The ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Quintesson Judge is the first release of a "Generation 1" Quintesson toy. A trigger on his "back" activates a face-spinning gimmick. The faces of Death, Wisdom, and Wrath have opening jaws; the faces of Wrath and Doubt come detached in the package, requiring owners to clip them into their respective sides, with Wrath reported by many owners to be quite a challenge to attach correctly. The order of the faces matches the arrangement from ''The Transformers: The Movie'', with Wisdom and Wit surrounding Death, which is slightly different from that used in the cartoon, which flanked Death with Wrath and Doubt. Unscrewing and detaching every face except Wrath can be used to replicate [[Deseeus]] cutting off his faces in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix cartoon]], although the bare plastic under the faces can be considered unsightly.

: The lower body's five soft-plastic tentacles are on swivel joints to raise and lower, and each has three 3mm effects pegs designed to accommodate ''War for Cybertron'' blast effects parts. Using these pegs, the Quintesson can hold its blaster accessory, and the tentacles can also be pegged into specifically-positioned holes on the Judge's body to better "aim" the weapon forward. The Judge also includes a transparent "levitation beam", which pegs onto the included throne via a 5mm post-hole, then attaches to the Judge's underside via a clip; it does not function as an effects part. Promotional renders color the beam in translucent yellow, but the finalized figure leaves it uncolored.

: Because it has to transform into ''something'', the Judge converts via [[partformer|partforming]] into a tower with a prison cage in 16 steps. The top of the tower and the cage do not actually attach to the base; they only balance on it. The cage is large enough to fit a [[Battle Master#Toys|Battle Master]] (or other similarly-sized figures), and has a post-hole on top to fit the blaster. The throne/platform and the panel under the Death face have [[A.I.R. Lock System]] ramp connections, allowing it to connect to ramps from other compatible toys, notably the Quintesson-allied [[Slitherfang#Toys|Slitherfang]].

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of the Judge's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. The Judge's piece of the map contains the labeled location of the planet "[[Quintessa (planet)|QUINTESSA]]". Like most ''Earthrise'' figures from wave 2 onward, however, it is misprinted, and overlays the "decodable" red graphics from the map piece included with [[Starscream (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Starscream]] on top of the details unique to the Judge's piece.

: The Judge was originally supposed to be released in the second wave, but was pushed back to the third for unknown reasons, with Starscream taking his place in wave 2 cases. In Japan, the Quintesson Judge was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.

[[File:WFCT-toy QuintessonJudge.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|They've got this case all wrapped up.]]
*'''Quintesson Pit of Judgement''' (giftset, 2020)
**''Accessories:'' Blaster, cage, throne, levitation beam

: A redeco of the ''Earthrise'' Quintesson Judge is the centerpiece of this box set of toys, presenting the "trial" of [[Kranix (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Kranix]] during ''The Transformers: The Movie''. The overall coloration is generally brighter, with some faces getting fairly extensive color changes. The tentacles are now bright green, the levitation beam clear-blue, and the throne base gray (as opposed to the stock photography's bright blue, the same photographs showed the Quintesson body to have a pink tint,which is not the case in the final version either). Thankfully, all five faces come pre-attached, saving a lot of hassle and hurt digits.

: This set also includes the [[Quintesson Bailiff#Toys|Quintesson Bailiff]], a new-deco [[Sharkticon (species)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Sharkticon]], and mini-figures of the [[Quintesson Prosecutor#Toys|Quintesson Prosecutor]] and [[Kranix (G1)#Toys|Kranix]]. The packaging interior forms a diorama of the "courtroom", with poor Kranix on a gangplank over the Sharkticon pit with the Judge hovering above.

: This set was announced to the public before the "standard" version of the Judge was released, and was first made available for people who attended the Hasbro Fans Expo in [[Hong Kong]] and preordered the set. It was later made a [[Hasbro PulseCon 2020]] [[exclusive]] in the United States and Canada (except for Quebec), available to Premium members on [[September 23]] 2020, then opened up to all members on [[September 24|the 24th]], where it sold out, went to pre-orders for more, then sold out of pre-orders within a few short hours despite a (stated) 1-per-customer limit.

==Notes==
*In their first appearance in ''The Transformers: The Movie'', the two speaking Quintessons are voiced by [[Regis Cordic]] (who plays the judge) and [[Roger C. Carmel]] ([[Quintesson Prosecutor|the prosecutor]]). These two actors then became the primary recurring voices of the Quintessons in the third season of the cartoon, usually playing judges, with [[Jack Angel]] normally serving as a third in episodes where more than two speaking roles were required. In [[AKOM]]-animated episodes, Cordic's Quintesson (usually designated "Quintesson #1" in scripts) would commonly speak from the Face of Doubt, while Carmel's ("Quintesson #2") used the Face of Laughter; Angel's intermittently-appearing third Quintesson would most often use the Face of Death, but animation errors, and Quintesson face-rotating meant that these were not ''absolute'' rules. In [[Toei Animation|Toei]] episodes, judges usually spoke from the Face of Death regardless of actor, and prosecutors got more screen time, with Cordic, as the "lead" Quintesson actor, voicing most of them. Numerous guest actors also played assorted "guest" Quintesson roles in various episodes.

Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys

Felipescado: /* Turbo Change Series */

{{suite}}

'''[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]''' starred in a film series that made billions of dollars. Woohoo!

==''Transformers'' (2007)==
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only ''Movie'' Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader).

===Legends Class toys===

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Optimus Prime'''

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' 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's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. He can also hold small weapons, such as [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]].

:The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy's subsidiary Subarudo.

: The previously-released Legends Class Optimus Prime toy is redecoed to match the Leader class Nightwatch Optimus Prime deco. He comes with a predominantly black and silver redeco of [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Allspark2pack|Starscream]]. The robot mode is mistransformed: his body is not collapsed down to the waist.

:In Asia, at least some units (often separated from Starscream) got dumped to Hobby Shop dealers and were sold at a lower price.

*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MA-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, flame attachment

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet'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 resembles previous Optimus characters in robot mode: his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. 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.

: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 "Exclusive movie poster!". It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Prima|member]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]]. His alternate mode served as a basis for the [[Vok|Vok Novaroids]] for [[The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 5: LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part Two]].

**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, flame attachment

: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 "coldness" of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Twin Blaster Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[2007]]-[[Calendar|8]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy 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. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features a small interior with opening doors and a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt. However, due to the aforementioned lessened complexity, significant sacrifices had to be made, such as "cheats" to the transformation sequence to achieve this. He is thus less accurate overall than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. Nevertheless, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: 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.

*'''Robo-Vision Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", 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 'flame' paint decorations.

: 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 ''20th Anniversary'' 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.

: This toy has been retroactively declared part of the ''Premium Series'' of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.

:All international versions came in the same packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

: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 ''TV Magazine''. 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 unsure if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.

*'''First Strike Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: Released as part of the ''Allspark Power'' refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon ''Generation 1'' and ''Classics'' 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 ''less'' like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can't have your cake and eat it too, folks.

As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the sculpt, in a "doing things differently to achieve a very similar end result" sense. This version was only available in a pack with an unchanged Deluxe Class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)#FreewayBrawl|Bonecrusher]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

:The largest 2007 ''Transformers'' movie Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime featured, at the time, the most accurate representation of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [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'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, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. 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.

:Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime'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. 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'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's eyes, accompanied by a "powering up" sound effect.

: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!

:This version was released in the UK several months before the ''AllSpark Power'' 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.

However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a ''very'' 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.

*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"

: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.

: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.

:Unlike the initial ''Premium Series'' toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment. The instructions still depicts the original Leader Class mold's head.

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MA-21'''

:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro'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'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 "powered up" appearance.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[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 "[[core body]]". 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.

: 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 manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This blue-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Optimus Prime's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. We would go into what an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess'' this transformation is, but we wouldn't want to fill up the rest of the page.

: 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.

[[File:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don't I look awesome with my corpse backpack?]]

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, 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'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's bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn't mentioned in the instructions, though they're hardly needed.

: 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]].

: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' 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.

:In Malaysia, this toy is also one of the four Legends Classes to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can 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.

:Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be warned, there is a very convincing-looking [[knockoff]] that'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.

:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|first movie'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's bunk, and kanji (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军" means "Shanghai General", while "大将" means "Grand general". The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.

:The Japanese version of the toy, named "Optimus Prime Revenge Edition", was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail ''Revenge'' 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 kanji lettering.

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]'' 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 ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', and due to not having to form Jetfire's robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie'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's vehicle mode.

:Both Jet Power Optimus Prime and the accompanying redeco of Voyager-Class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#UniteMegatron|Megatron]] would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader-Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]].

*'''Stratosphere''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-17'''

:Voyager-Class [[Stratosphere]] comes with a transformable Optimus Prime mini-figure that deploys from his cargo bay, based upon scenes from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie. The articulation is limited to hinges on his arms, legs and shoulders, all three of them being contingent from his transformation.

:Towering at only barely over two inches, this was 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]] - that is, until he was later "out-tinied" by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Q-Transformers|two]] [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Tiny Turbo Changers|other]] cute super deformed versions.

===Leader Class toys===
[[File:ROTF Leader OptimusPrime.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I will not stop telling you that I am Optimus Prime. Ever!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-01'''

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie's Leader-class Optimus Prime.

:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime's entire pectoral region "flexes", lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares "I am Optimus Prime" in [[Peter Cullen]]'s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just "Optimus Prime"; 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.

: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'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's arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable.

:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro's photos is that the sun visors above Prime'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's lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy.

:Overall, the robot mode of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 ''Transformers'' Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.

[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who's your daddy? He is.]]
: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.

:Like several new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted [[prototype]], the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, 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's CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release. His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have. Meanwhile, the articulated fingers was later used for the ''Asia Premium Series'' & ''Movie The Best'' releases.

: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 ridiculously complex. Transforming him back into a truck is probably more complicated than shown in the movie and can only be considered ''torture''. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being amazingly vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even ''harder''. 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're finished.

: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.

:The entire mold also became a victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from upscaled (and sometimes simpified) molds to high-quality clones. Several of his redecoes/retools below also suffers from this too.

*'''Buster Optimus Prime''' (Leader, Japan 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-24'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 fuel tank/exhaust assemblies - combine into [[Ion blaster]]

: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 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Optimus Prime, Buster Optimus Prime features an extensive paint job that closely matches Prime'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 & Magic|ILM]]'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.

**''Accessories:'' 2 fuel tank/exhaust assemblies - combine into [[Ion blaster]]
[[File:ROTF-JetpowerOptimusPrime2Pack-CombinedMode.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]

: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 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' 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.

:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version ''doesn't'' use the improved version of Optimus' [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.

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.

: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 ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[packaging]].

*'''Battle Blades Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2010)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''AA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Matrix of Leadership, 2 Fuel Tank-Gun assemblies, removable Energon Swords

:Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a brand new sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design. He is 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're on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp.

: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 G1 incarnation.

:His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two [[barrage cannon]]s. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point.

:The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime's transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime'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 ''click'', 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.

:The TakaraTomy "Autobot Alliance" release of this toy has some significant differences, including casting the red plastic in a darker shade, making his shin and wheel joints grey rather than Hasbro's bronze, painting the Matrix of Leadership silver, and swapping out the dual energon swords for battle hooks, similar to 2010's Leader Class Optimus Prime (see below). However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the dual energon swords rather than the hooks. He retains the masked face used for the Hasbro release.

:This mold was also used to make ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

:This retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class Optimus Prime features the head from 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 "battle damage" paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the Revenge of the Fallen release were omitted. He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous "I am Optimus Prime!" with "We must stop the Decepticons!" The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated "Optimus Prime" sound clip as the original release. To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about ''anywhere'' outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia).

:A [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] set featuring a [[redeco]] of the first Cyberverse Commander Optimus Prime figure, featuring moderately brighter colors and paint, while his jetpack and rifles are now black, with the jetpack's wings having silver flames. He also lacks the flame pattern on top of his hood, and features different flame patterns on the sides of the hood.

:As with Battle Steel Optimus Prime, his legs haven't been extended in the stock photo. His Jetpack/rifle combo is also installed in the wrong way.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe

:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], this Deluxe Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, close in scale to Voyager Class [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|Megatron]]. He has 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 "backpack" [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded "Automorph" 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' "nose" section has a tendency to chip off after many transformations.

: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]]'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.

: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 5mm 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' 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.

: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.

:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]'s weapon. This figure is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:These Redecos of the aforementioned Deluxe Class Optimus prime are exclusives to Hong Kong's [[Milk Magazine]]. They are officially licensed items produced in association with Hasbro Hong Kong to celebrate the magazines' 10th year anniversary in [[2011]].

The "Standard" version sports an extremely detailed "premium" 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]].

Each figure was sold separately in a black box with a black movie Optimus Prime silhouette that is visible thanks to the the "Exclusive Optimus Prime" and the Milk'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've got is the "Standard" version or the Black version.

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's all silver.

**''Accessories:'' MechTech Ion Blaster/Battle Cannon

:''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold. He features 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#"Faux-parts"|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.

:He comes with a large [[MechTech]] Ion Blaster that can convert into a "Battle Cannon". 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.

*'''Optimus Prime / MechTech Trailer''' (MechTech Voyager, [[May 14]], 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Ion Blaster/Energy Blade, MechTech trailer

: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.

: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.

:His MechTech [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|trailer]] opens up much like Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]'s trailer (as well as being able to stand up to harken back to the Generation 1 [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'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.

:The flame deco on Optimus' 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.

:The instructions also depict his fuel tank assemblies being positioned like the first figure's gas tanks, though you can swivel them frontwards for a better appearance, as seen in the stock photo.

: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's chest exposed. There was a variant version which has the extended pieces, covering the gaps behind the front wheels in truck mode.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze-p4S9Lm7c]</ref>

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] redeco and retool of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]] [[#Voyager Class toys 3|"Battle Blades" Optimus Prime toy]] features the Japanese release's hooks (instead of swords), plus an all-new [[mouthplate]]-less, mouthed face.

This time, his [[Matrix of Leadership]] is cast in orange plastic.

:This exclusive has a peculiar and common error in that the arm hooks' hubs stick out farther than they should, causing a gap that runs down the middle of the cab's nose in vehicle mode.

: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.

:Optimus comes with a "bonus value" 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 ''not'' highlighted as a "bonus" figure.

:Fireburst Optimus Prime is a redeco of the standard ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime, sporting a darker shade of blue and a "burning" color scheme that includes replacing all translucent blue parts with translucent orange. Because of this, his light-piping eyes were neutered by opaque light blue paint.

: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'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.

*'''Striker Optimus''' (MechTech Leader, [[November 17]] 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA28'''
**''Accessories:'' Eliminator Gun & Assault Blaster (forms [[Mega Striker]]), shield/battle shield

: Labeled as a "[[Triple Changer]]", Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of ''Dark of the Moon'' 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 5mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys"R"Us|Toys"R"Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The "I am Optimus Prime" saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the "We must stop the Decepticons!" saying of 2010 ''Transformers'' Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included.

: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 "battle vehicle mode", resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicle modes seen in ''Dark of the Moon''.

:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the "Eliminator Gun" and "Assault Blaster", which combine into the "Mega Striker", a rifle that closely resembles the one used in ''Dark of the Moon''. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In "battle vehicle mode", 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|5mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' 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.

:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode.

The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime's ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime'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'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.

**''Accessories:'' Tank A & Tank B (forms Ion Blaster), Jetwing jet pack, Arm Gatling Cannon A & B, Leg Armor A & B

:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' 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's CG model in ''Dark of the Moon'', 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's electronics, but batteries are not included.

: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' back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus' 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 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' onwards, but due to the lack modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn'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.

:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime's flight tech for ''Dark of the Moon'', and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' 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.

: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.

:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.

Random Japanese text remains floating in space on the top of the back panel and underneath the "Jetwing Optimus Prime" name on the front. Curiously, the left flap has been rewritten to eliminate mention of [[NEST]] and the jetpack's ability to detach, while the right flap has been (badly) edited to remove all mentions of [[MechTech]].

*'''Ultimate Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Ultimate, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA32'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Omega Combat Armor, MechTech Ultimax Super Cannon

:Billed on his packaging as "BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!", Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a "normal" 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 5mm fist holes, as well as additional 5mm 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 5mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.

:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus' 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 5mm 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 5mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can support itself using folding blue landing gear, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic.

:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime'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'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'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's center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration "I am Optimus Prime". The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the "backpack", allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus' imaginary "flight" operations.

: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's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class iteration.

: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.

**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Omega Combat Armor, MechTech Ultimax Super Cannon

: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 "{{w|Dragon (zodiac)|Year of the Dragon}}" Special Edition in [[2012]], since the Chinese Zodiac sign for that year is the Dragon.

:This toy was later made available in North America as an Amazon.com exclusive.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
: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.

: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.

: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't be transformed in package.

:''Bash Bots'' 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's built-in stand. He & his stand can connect with any Bash Bots to fight with, especially the included Starscream (instead of his nemesis Megatron).

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the ''Dark of the Moon'' Go-Bots toys. Prime's pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.

: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's running, rather than just rolling.

: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.

: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.

:The first release in the Asian-exclusive ''[[Asia Premium Series]]'' toyline is an extensive redeco of the previously-Japanese exclusive [[#Leader Class toys 4|Striker Optimus]]. He features a comprehensive paint scheme directly based on [[#JetfireBuster|Jetpower Optimus Prime]], with blue pinstriped flames, lots of silver paint, and [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] parts, although his hands are left unpainted in favor of painting his mirrors silver. Along with his standard accessories, he also comes with 2 battle blades, which were previously exclusive to Toys"R"Us Japan. He features the "We must stop the Decepticons!" voice chip, but batteries are not included. Rather helpfully, his instructions are supplemented with text instructions written in English for all the steps, as well as the additional photographs used for the previous Striker Optimus toy.

:Originally set for a September 28th release, it ended up being delayed to 6th November instead.

:[[Asia Premium Series]] Optimus Prime Ultimate Edition is an extensive screen-accurate redeco of Jetwing Optimus Prime (with a maskless head from Buster Optimus Prime), this figure features '''loads''' of accessories from the Striker & Jetwing figures, and includes brand-new knuckle and battle hooks based on the HFTD Optimus', which can be installed in either hand. 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 [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#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.

:Mold degradation is evident in this release, as the bumper of the vehicle mode is notably bent.

Instead of the blaster/axe MechTech weapon the original release of the figure came with, Prime is armed with a redeco of ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Dark of the Moon|Jolt]]'s Blaster/Hand Cannon weapon.

:The set comes with a deluxe-scaled version of Prime's ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Armored Weapons Platform#Chronicle|trailer]], which is compatible with both figures, and sports [[5 mm post|5mm post]]-holes that will hold (among many other things) G1 Prime's laser rifle and the [[MechTech]] weapon Movie Prime is armed with.

**''Set number'': '''30689'''
**''Pieces'': '''542'''
**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Skywarp, two Stunt Drivers
**''Accessories'': 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

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set'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|''Classics'' 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 "headquarters" 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's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: 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 "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

: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.

He has a ferrous-metal backpack, which is used to interact with the magnetic parts in the various sets. In this specific set's case, it's so he can be grabbed by the buildable [[Strafe (AOE)#Kre-O|Strafe]]'s dino-claws, once Strafe uses said claws to open up the "laser" cage made to contain Optimus.

**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle

:This version of "movie" Optimus is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' incarnation, as that's how he appears in "[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]" and as a mascot character on the park grounds. He is available exclusively in a box set sold at The Ride's gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks. After several years of ''only'' being available at the park proper, the four-pack was eventually added to Universal's online store.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies. Optimus'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' tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, while Optimus's medium-pearlescent-gray plastics (his arm-mounted smokestacks) have been lightened considerably and lost a significant amount of metallic sheen.

: In mid-2020, the set was revamped again ''again'', 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.

*'''First Edition Optimus Prime''' (2014)
**'''14 OF 30'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield

: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toy line]]. Prime is an all-new Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star "5700 OP" 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 "15 easy steps." 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 simplified transformation also comes at the expense of having a very bulky "backpack" of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. However, his truck [[kibble]] can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own.

:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via a 5mm 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|5mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime's trailer.

: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's Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as "14 of 30" in Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]'' campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.<ref name="fepress">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for ''Age of Extinction'' First Edition Optimus Prime]</ref> To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies ''another'' product as "14 of 30", which doesn't sport any such markings on its packaging ''either''.<ref name="retro">[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Habro 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.</ref>

:Part of the first wave of TakaraTomy ''[[Movie Advanced Series|Lost Age: Movie Advanced]]'' toys, this Japanese-exclusive redeco of [[#Deluxe Class toys|2007 ''Transformers'' Protoform Optimus Prime]] is given a ''Generation 1''-styled color scheme (which is ''also'' based on his appearances in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Foundation]]'' comic-book mini-series). Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. His now-blue flame decoration piece fits the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail (Not sure if this 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). The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.

**''Accessories:'' Sword
:A redeco of the ''Dark of the Moon'' 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]]'s sword, which can be wielded by his 5mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, ''especially'' with the shoulder kibble & the bottom leg's posts (This can be amended if you slightly widen the holes with 3mm hand drills). As with the original ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class figure, the instructions did not 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 ''Chronicle'' or the ''Movie Trilogy Series'' figure. This figure has slightly loose shoulder joints.

:This figure was only available in a two-pack with a Voyager Class [[Grimlock (AOE)#Target2Pack|Grimlock]] figure. The two-pack was exclusively available at Target stores in the United States, Canada, and Australia, at Tesco stores in the United Kingdom and Hungary and at Galeria Kaufhof department stores in Germany. In Asia, some of the remaining stock is available in some hobby shops and some video stores like Speedy Video.

**''Japanese Name'': '''Classic Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD02'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2014-[[May 17|05-17]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion cannon, projectile/nozzle

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Evasion Mode Optimus Prime" is an all-new figure based on the character'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'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, ''two'' false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm as the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a "default" 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.

:Optimus includes a spring-loaded missile firing "ion cannon" modeled after Megatron's shotgun from ''Dark of the Moon'', 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 5mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it.

:In time-honored tradition, Prime's instructions depict the toy with an alternate "[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]" head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' and "Rusty" 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.

:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy, but slightly larger than his ''Generation 1'' toy's truck) he is quite tall. Due to the lack of molded trailer hitches, Evasion Mode Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it can be hooked with the truck's cavity, albeit slightly lifted up.

:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' toys, is dubbed "Classic Optimus Prime", and opts for a deco closer to Prime'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 is neutered with opaque light blue paint. In terms of quality control, at least ''one'' sample has missing its silver paint on the head's left cheek. Moreover, there is a variant that comes with his faceplated head sculpt.{{fact|Like, which one?}}

:The faceplated version of the mold was used to make [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]].

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Leader Class toys, this is yet ''another'' completely new "big" 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'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.

: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.

: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).

: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's [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy'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'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.<ref name="argos">[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.</ref> Sometimes, the spring loaded "[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]" feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...

:Like Stomp & Chomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers (Both Hasbro and TakaraTomy), activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He is notably less kibble than other AOE Optimus Primes...from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so promising with large chunks of Western Star truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he's wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out...

:The Sword of Judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the ''Age of Extinction'' 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.

:This Optimus Prime can tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it lets the wheels lift off the ground.

**''Accessories'': "[[Ion blaster|Rifle]]", 2 "[[Dual Energon Swords|Energy Swords]]", [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#MPM4|Matrix of Leadership]]

:Released to conclude the 10th Anniversary of the live-action film series, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]] Movie Series'' Optimus Prime is a brand new mold that transforms from a 25 cm-tall robot (a little taller than MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|Convoy]]) resembling how the character appeared in the first live action movie into a <s>Kenworth W900</s> modified Peterbilt 379, in 43 steps, with many of the engineering cues being distinctively based and improved on the [[#Leader_Class_toys_2|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class mold]].

:The figure has diecast 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's, and an abdomen that opens to reveal a chamber housing a diecast Matrix of Leadership. He comes with said Matrix, his "Rifle" (aka "Ion Cannon"), and a pair of "Energy Swords" that tab in behind his wrists (the hands unfortunately have to be bent forward to accommodate these). All three weapons can combine and store on the trailer hitch in vehicle mode. Speaking of, Optimus can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|trailer]] from ''Masterpiece'' MP-10 Convoy (and its various redecoes).

: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. It should be noted that this mold does not combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Leader Class toys|Jetfire]].

:The TakaraTomy release replaces the dark gray plastic on the Hasbro version with lighter gray as well as adding the missing paint apps shown on the box.

: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. The pipes that are supposed to connect to the bottom of the smokestacks also don't swing out far enough to properly do so if the feet are tabbed together completely. When attempting to complete the cab assembly, it is advised to apply upward pressure on the front side barrels while pushing the cab downwards. A misassembly error is also present on all versions of the mold, where the roof hinges that connect the sides of the cabin are reversed.

:[[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't properly configured, and the smokestacks in truck mode aren't extended.

:In the United States, Canada, and Hasbro's Asian markets, ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Optimus Prime was exclusively available from [[Toys"R"Us]], whereas in Spain, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour. It'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 "Toys-Shop", but again might have been available online only.

**''Accessories'': "Ion Blaster", [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#MPM12|Matrix of Leadership]]

:The second ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Optimus Prime transforms from a robot based on his appearance in the ''Bumblebee'' mid-credits scene into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film's ending scene, much like the ''Studio Series'' toy [[#SS38|below]]. He comes with his "Ion Blaster" 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 ''Masterpiece Movies Series'' toy above, Optimus Prime can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP44|trailer]] included with MP-44 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|Convoy]].

: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.

: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.

:This toy was revealed on February 25, 2021 via live-stream. It will be a [[Target]] exclusive in the United States and a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Canada.

:Legion Class Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the first ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class figure, with the deco resembling the paint job from Optimus Prime's Western Star "5700 OP" 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 ''painted over'' the side windows.

: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't affect the toy too much.

He also comes with a USB cord, mostly used for recharging.

*'''Optimus Prime 2-Pack''' (2017)
**''Accessories'': MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe, Gun/missile/flame attachment

:This 2-pack release of Optimus Primes are redecoes of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|''Transformers'' (2007) Protoform Optimus Prime]], and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 2|''MechTech'' Deluxe Class Optimus Prime]].

:"Cybertron Optimus Prime" new 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 "entry" mode. The silver paint on his chest was slightly changed from the original and he lacks the paint on his feet, his "headlights", and the top of his "entry" 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.

:Although ''MechTech'' Optimus Prime's deco is similar to the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 2|first Deluxe Class figure]], 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 & thighs are omitted. His front truck hood/backpack'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.

:All Cyberglyphs in this set translate to "PRIME"

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2017)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield

:This Voyager-sized Optimus Prime is an all-new mold (with a similar transformation scheme to [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Generations|''Age of Extinction'' 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 & the shield based on his final design in the movie, albeit the sword being painted similarly to the Armor Knight Optimus Prime's sword. His Sword can store underneath his Vehicle mode or his robot mode backpack, while the shield can be stored on the truck's fifth wheel hitch, which can also tow the trailer included from the Japanese exclusive [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#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.

:Surprisingly, this was also the first Hasbro exclusive transforming Movie Optimus Prime figure to be based on the final design seen in ''Age of Extinction''. 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 ''The Last Knight''. The sword's blade is still painted as the heated-up version from the concept art.

[[File:Shellformer_TLK.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Continuing the family [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#"First Edition" toys|tradition.]]]]
:Like the larger ''First Edition'' figure, you can actually separate the robot mode from his vehicle shell, displaying both of his modes at once... albeit unlike the ''First Edition'' figure, this tweak could sacrifice the even stability between those two separated figures. Some of the pieces like the legs/rear wheels are particularly difficult to separate.

:While he can tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]], it cannot turn left or right due to the gray trailer hitch slightly pressing against the trailer's landing gear joints, and it ''slightly'' lifts the trailer with the front-rear tires lifting off the ground. The 2018 giveaway event-exclusive [[Quad Barrel Shotgun#Generations|Quad Barrel Shotgun]] accessory can be used for this figure.

:The Hasbro stock photos of the toy are ''slightly'' mistransformed: his pectoral armor is not folded correctly in robot mode. At least a ''very small'' number of units feature a faceplate-less head sculpt which was probably intended for a later retool, but there is no news about this pretool being released in the future. This figure was also released in Toys"R"Us Japan on May 1st, 2017 as a store exclusive, likewise identical to the Hasbro release.

:The CG stock photos feature extra silver paint apps on the lower thighs and hands, which the final product does not feature.

**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield

:Released as one of the prizes from the "Midnight Madness" event in a Toys R'Us in Singapore, this Optimus Prime is a redeco (of sorts) of the Voyager Class figure. The figure'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.

:In some countries like Malaysia, Prime could be obtained by buying some certain items in an expensive price, given away along with a similarly 'battle-damaged' 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.

:He was also available at the movie launch event in a Toys R'Us in Hong Kong, as a prize for spending HKD$1,500 on Transformers-related products.

: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 ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'', particularly his Nemesis Prime alter ego seen in the film. 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.

:Dark Optimus Prime could be purchased along with advance tickets for ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'' via movie cards from June 25, 2017, on the Omni7 website, and from September 29, 2017, if the item was purchased without advance tickets.

**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield, Tire piece

:The ''San Diego Comic-Con 2017'' exclusive Optimus Prime figure is another redeco of the ''Premier Edition'' figure, which aims for a more movie-accurate look than the original by still sharing the same paint masks, but replacing the chest'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 'collar', 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 ''Transformers: Alternators'' releases and the Hasbro Toy Shop/SDCC 2011 exclusive figure.

:Hilariously, Optimus Prime also comes with an ''authentic tire piece'' from a Western Star 5700XE truck (no seriously, look it up.). His stock photo is also ''slightly'' 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.

**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield
:This redeco of the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' 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 ''Generation 1'' toys. He features a new sword and shield accessory, which can be used to decode the patterns.

:In the United Kingdom, this Optimus Prime was released as an Argos exclusive along with several other sets branded as part of the ''Reveal the Shield'' [[subline imprint]]. His United States release was initially claimed to be exclusive to [[Target]] by online retailers from Asia, but even though the other ''Reveal the Shield'' products eventually became available at Target, Voyager Class Optimus Prime was released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in the United States instead, complete with a "Toys"R"Us exclusive" sticker.

:In May 2017, the figure was released as a lucky draw item by Coca-Cola, along with the limited edition cans, as part of the China's promotion for the movie. On the other hand, Shadow Spark Optimus Prime also became a ''massive'' shelfwarmer in several Asian Toys"R"Us stores.

:This Optimus Prime is a somewhat/nearly screen-accurate redeco of the Leader Class figure, but uses the original Leader mold instead of the Armor Knight retool unfortunately. In comparison to the first ''Age of Extinction'' Leader Class figure, his vacuum-metalized front truck bumper, sun visors, robot mode chest, smokestacks and side tanks chest was 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 casted 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.

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TLK-15'''
**''Accessories'': Temenos Sword, Calibur Axe, Overshield/Fifth Wheel Hitch, Energon Sword (limited edition)

:Calibur Optimus Prime is a retool of the Armor Knight Optimus Prime figure, who is a retool of the original ''Age of Extinction'' Leader Class figure, with the fifth wheel hitch now forming his 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 and an additional [[partformer|partforming]] gimmick to boot, although the shield still can be converted into a backpack like the original Leader Class mold do. He also comes with an axe based on the one used in the third film.

:The initial release of the figure comes with a limited edition Energon Sword. According to [https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%83%9F%E3%83%BC-%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC-TLK-15-%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%AA%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AA%E3%83%97%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A0/dp/B072FVY1SX/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1498192402&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=TLK+optimus#productDetails Amazon Japan's page], the included Energon Sword & Axe is also compatible with ''Movie the Best'' MB-11 Optimus Prime figure (seen above), which basically makes Calibur Optimus Prime a weapon expansion pack for said figure.

:In an amusing (but glaring) example of poor quality control in a Takara product, the back of the packaging features a small amount of [[Engrish]], notably the word "kinetic" being written as "''Kinetic'''k'''''". The bio also mentions the elemental metal as the "Cyber-Matter" living metal, which is used for the Aligned continuity family. Oddly, TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout "battle figure" included with Telebi Magazine's [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].

:The Calibur Axe was later redecoed into "Bronze Caliber Axe", as a giveaway accessory for the 3rd ''The Last Knight Final Battle Campaign'' in Japan. In 2018, Optimus Prime is released along with [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TLKLeader|Megatron]] as part of the TakaraTomy Mall exclusive "Optimus Prime VS Megatron" set.

As a redeco of the Kup mold, Orion Pax still suffers the leg panel misassembly.

:The set also includes a redeco of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|''Generations War for Cybertron'']] Optimus Prime figure, which changes the original figure's dark red plastic to a brighter, more vibrant red, changes the gray plastic to a darker charcoal tone, changes the "windows" from gray to nearly black, and replaces most of the original figure's pink-ish red paint details (which were yellow on the redeco from the "Rage over Cybertron" three-pack) to teal.

: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 ''Tribute'' line, we're putting it here. Continuing the tradition, the 2-pack was first released in some Asian countries like Taiwan without any prior announcement from Hasbro itself.

**''Accessories'': Two [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]]s, "Forest Fight" backdrop (1st version)

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Optimus Prime transforms from a robot into a Peterbilt 379 semi-truck. He comes with a pair of [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]]s, which can be mounted onto his arms or store on the back of his robot mode or truck mode. The figure combines engineering concepts from his ''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class figure with techniques previously used on ''Prime: First Edition'' [[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 ''Studio Series'' 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 ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:While the 5mm compatible arms can fit with most weapons with the same post size, some of the weapons' handles can barely fit on it due to either the slightly thickened tab or sculpted thin panels.

: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. This mold is not meant to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]], although it can be achieved with some [[Fan mode|fiddling]]. However, it ''can'' carry (but not combine with) ''Studio Series'' 44 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' (though sold under the first ''Transformers'' film's branding), this ''Studio Series'' 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 ''Studio Series'' [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]] to form "Jetwing Optimus Prime," while resulting in a somewhat more involved transformation. His color scheme features a much higher contrast than the previous release. 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’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.

: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 on Prime's vehicle mode or on the larger rectangular pegs on his cab nose/forearms or robot mode back. While Optimus can use the first mold's blades, the new backpack's design prevents the swords from being stored, and using the intended "underslung" 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 ''Transformers'' 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.

:As the front grills rely on the hook-and-tab assembly to complete the truck mode and combined to the fact that they're molded in translucent plastic with silver entirely painted on it, the painted tabs can chip off after many transformations, slightly breaking the front grill assembly apart, leaving a ''very small'' gap. Care must be taken when combining him with Jetfire, as it can place much stress on the hinges that the grills are connected to.

:The packaging stock photo features him having a misassembled hip, which is facing backwards. Speaking of misassembly, a small amount 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's still in-package.

:His rear wheels were later reused for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, [[2019]])
**''Hasbro ID number'': '''38'''
**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''SS-30'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': '''[[April 27]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': Ion blaster, "[[Golden Gate Bridge|San Francisco Bridge]]" backdrop

:The third ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is based on his appearance in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', 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's final scene. Optimus comes with the [[Ion blaster]] he is seen wielding in the film's Cybertron sequences and a backdrop featuring the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] where he meets up with Bumblebee.

:While his truck mode scales with most of the ''Studio Series'' brethren, Optimus's robot mode shares the same height as his 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's design closely resembles [[Mark Yang]]'s concept art of the character, complete with flat feet. Unlike most of the ''Studio Series'' figures, this Optimus doesn't have any insignia tampographed or sculpted on. The silver weathering on his stomach varies from figure-to-figure.

: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.

:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|MechTech Trailer]] due to the still-too-far-forward hitch port. It can, however, hitch up properly with the ''Studio Series'' Leader Class trailer below, though the fifth wheel's 5mm hole isn't wide enough to properly connect with the 7mm hitching peg. Placing the peg in the hitch holds it loosely in place, which is fine for static posing but likely to fall off with play.

:This toy was one of the items that was released as part of Hasbro's Transformers 35th Anniversary promotional mailer box<ref>https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/21/transformers-35th-anniversary-promo-box-in-hand-388546</ref> and was also given a repaint as part of TakaraTomy's own [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#35th Anniversary|35th Anniversary exclusive set]].

* '''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2019)
**''Hasbro ID number'': '''44'''
**''TakaraTomy name'': '''Jetwing Optimus Prime'''
**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''SS-39'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': '''[[August 31]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': Trailer/[[Armored Weapons Platform]]/Omega Combat Armor, 2 cannons, [[Energon-axe]], [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], Shield, Ion blaster, abs piece, "Battle of Chicago" backdrop (2nd version)

: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 ''Dark of the Moon'', complete with a new trailer forming his weapons platform and combat armor. He also comes with two cannons, an energon axe, a shield, an energon sword, and a slightly redecoed (de-decoed?) ion blaster from the second toy, losing its blackened barrel. His fellow Leader Class Autobot, [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], comes packaged with a replacement ''Transformers'' and ''Revenge of the Fallen''-accurate abdomen piece, allowing them to combine... though the piece is color-matched to Optimus's first ''Studio Series'' 05 release, a figure that lacks this figure's new molding and is thus incompatible with Jetfire. In addition to the new deco and molding, the hinges in 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.

:In terms of deco, Optimus features gradient orange paint on his forearms/truck front which the Voyager Class release didn't have, while the formerly transparent parts are now cast in opaque blue plastic, with both his real and [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|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 ''any'' paint on the final toy is the sword. Conversely, both the CG render ''and'' 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.

:The CG render on the front packaging is a rather lazily-edited version of the Optimus Prime art (complete with ''Revenge of the Fallen''-styled abdomen), with the Jetwing unit slapped on his back. There are also a few obvious design oversights, with no official instructions on how to store the Ion Blaster and no actual means of attaching the shield to Prime's arm in a shield-like manner. And while Prime himself has been improved to prevent parts popping off, the dark grey "shoulder straps" 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.

: Despite the figure's size classification, Prime himself is Voyager-sized (obviously, seeing as he's a retool of a previous ''Studio Series'' Voyager). The Leader Class price point comes from the extra accessories that he comes packaged with.

Optimus' 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.

:Due to its simplified transformation, Optimus' 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 ''Reveal the Shield'' counterpart, and his Energon Igniter port ends up under his right foot in robot mode rather than on his knee.

Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys

Felipescado: /* Turbo Change Series */

{{suite}}

'''[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]''' starred in a film series that made billions of dollars. Woohoo!

==''Transformers'' (2007)==
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only ''Movie'' Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader).

===Legends Class toys===

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Optimus Prime'''

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' 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's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. He can also hold small weapons, such as [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]].

:The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy's subsidiary Subarudo.

*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MA-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, flame attachment

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet'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 resembles previous Optimus characters in robot mode: his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. 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.

: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 "Exclusive movie poster!". It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Prima|member]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]]. His alternate mode served as a basis for the [[Vok|Vok Novaroids]] for [[The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 5: LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part Two]].

Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic its frozen state in the "coldness" of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

**''Japanese Name'': '''Twin Blaster Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[2007]]-[[Calendar|8]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy 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. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features a small interior with opening doors and a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt. However, due to the aforementioned lessened complexity, significant sacrifices had to be made, such as "cheats" to the transformation sequence to achieve this. He is thus less accurate overall than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. Nevertheless, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: 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.

**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", 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 'flame' paint decorations.

: 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 ''20th Anniversary'' 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.

: This toy has been retroactively declared part of the ''Premium Series'' of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.

:All international versions came in the same packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

: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 ''TV Magazine''. 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 unsure if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.

: Released as part of the ''Allspark Power'' refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon ''Generation 1'' and ''Classics'' 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 ''less'' like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can't have your cake and eat it too, folks.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''MA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

:The largest 2007 ''Transformers'' movie Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime featured, at the time, the most accurate representation of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [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'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, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. 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.

:Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime'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. 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'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's eyes, accompanied by a "powering up" sound effect.

: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!

*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"

: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.

: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.

:Unlike the initial ''Premium Series'' toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment. The instructions still depicts the original Leader Class mold's head.

:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro'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'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 "powered up" appearance.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[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 "[[core body]]". 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.

: 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 manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This blue-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Optimus Prime's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. We would go into what an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess'' this transformation is, but we wouldn't want to fill up the rest of the page.

: 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.

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, 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'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's bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn't mentioned in the instructions, though they're hardly needed.

: 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]].

: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' 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.

:In Malaysia, this toy is also one of the four Legends Classes to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can 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.

:Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be warned, there is a very convincing-looking [[knockoff]] that'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.

:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|first movie'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's bunk, and kanji (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军" means "Shanghai General", while "大将" means "Grand general". The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.

:The Japanese version of the toy, named "Optimus Prime Revenge Edition", was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail ''Revenge'' 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 kanji lettering.

*'''Jet Power Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MR-01'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles, sword, Jetfire armour parts

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]'' 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 ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', and due to not having to form Jetfire's robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie'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's vehicle mode.

:Both Jet Power Optimus Prime and the accompanying redeco of Voyager-Class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#UniteMegatron|Megatron]] would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader-Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]]. Of amusement is the fact the comics are essentially showcasing toys that have been canceled.

:Voyager-Class [[Stratosphere]] comes with a transformable Optimus Prime mini-figure that deploys from his cargo bay, based upon scenes from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie. The articulation is limited to hinges on his arms, legs and shoulders, all three of them being contingent from his transformation.

:Towering at only barely over two inches, this was 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]] - that is, until he was later "out-tinied" by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Q-Transformers|two]] [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Tiny Turbo Changers|other]] cute super deformed versions.

===Leader Class toys===
[[File:ROTF Leader OptimusPrime.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I will not stop telling you that I am Optimus Prime. Ever!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-01'''

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie's Leader-class Optimus Prime.

:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime's entire pectoral region "flexes", lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares "I am Optimus Prime" in [[Peter Cullen]]'s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just "Optimus Prime"; 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.

: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'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's arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable.

:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro's photos is that the sun visors above Prime'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's lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy.

:Overall, the robot mode of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 ''Transformers'' Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.

[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who's your daddy? He is.]]
: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.

:Like several new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted [[prototype]], the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, 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's CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release. His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have. Meanwhile, the articulated fingers was later used for the ''Asia Premium Series'' & ''Movie The Best'' releases.

: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 ridiculously complex. Transforming him back into a truck is probably more complicated than shown in the movie and can only be considered ''torture''. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being amazingly vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even ''harder''. 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're finished.

: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.

:The entire mold also became a victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from upscaled (and sometimes simpified) molds to high-quality clones. Several of his redecoes/retools below also suffers from this too.

: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 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Optimus Prime, Buster Optimus Prime features an extensive paint job that closely matches Prime'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 & Magic|ILM]]'s computer model, and generally painting in small details, nooks and crannies that were neglected on the first release due to cost-cutting reasons.

: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 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' 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.

:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version ''doesn't'' use the improved version of Optimus' [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.

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.

: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 ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[packaging]].

*'''Battle Blades Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2010)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''AA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Matrix of Leadership, 2 Fuel Tank-Gun assemblies, removable Energon Swords

:Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a brand new sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design. He is 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're on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp.

: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 G1 incarnation.

:His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two [[barrage cannon]]s. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point.

:The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime's transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime'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 ''click'', 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.

:The TakaraTomy "Autobot Alliance" release of this toy has some significant differences, including casting the red plastic in a darker shade, making his shin and wheel joints grey rather than Hasbro's bronze, painting the Matrix of Leadership silver, and swapping out the dual energon swords for battle hooks, similar to 2010's Leader Class Optimus Prime (see below). However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the dual energon swords rather than the hooks. He retains the masked face used for the Hasbro release.

:This mold was also used to make ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

However, due to these extra "battle damage" paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the Revenge of the Fallen release were omitted.

**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''008'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV20'''
**''Accessories:'' Dual Cannons, two Energy Swords

:This release is ''another'' redeco of Cyberverse Optimus Prime, this time with a predominately navy scheme with black accents (which vaguely resembles his Generation 1 colors), and a pair of [[barrage cannon]]s that can be either held or mounted on his smokestacks, as well as a pair of [[Dual Energon Swords|handheld swords]]. He is compatible with all his previously released Cyberverse accessories, but not all at once.

:The official [[stock photography|stock photo]] of the toy in its packaging featured its name as simply "Optimus Prime", but the final version of the toy available at retail is named "Battle Steel Optimus Prime". He is also mis-transformed in the [[stock photography|stock photo]] to the right: His legs haven't been extended.

===Deluxe Class toys===
{{anchor|walmartdlx}}[[File:DOTM Optimus Deluxe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe

:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], this Deluxe Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, close in scale to Voyager Class [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|Megatron]]. He has 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 "backpack" [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded "Automorph" 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' "nose" section has a tendency to chip off after many transformations.

: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]]'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.

: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 5mm 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' 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.

: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.

:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]'s weapon. This figure is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:These Redecos of the aforementioned Deluxe Class Optimus prime are exclusives to Hong Kong's [[Milk Magazine]]. They are officially licensed items produced in association with Hasbro Hong Kong to celebrate the magazines' 10th year anniversary in [[2011]].

The "Standard" version sports an extremely detailed "premium" 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]].

Each figure was sold separately in a black box with a black movie Optimus Prime silhouette that is visible thanks to the the "Exclusive Optimus Prime" and the Milk'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've got is the "Standard" version or the Black version.

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's all silver.

:''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold. He features 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#"Faux-parts"|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.

*'''Optimus Prime / MechTech Trailer''' (MechTech Voyager, [[May 14]], 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Ion Blaster/Energy Blade, MechTech trailer

: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.

: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.

:His MechTech [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|trailer]] opens up much like Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]'s trailer (as well as being able to stand up to harken back to the Generation 1 [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'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.

:The flame deco on Optimus' 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.

:The instructions also depict his fuel tank assemblies being positioned like the first figure's gas tanks, though you can swivel them frontwards for a better appearance, as seen in the stock photo.

: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's chest exposed. There was a variant version which has the extended pieces, covering the gaps behind the front wheels in truck mode.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze-p4S9Lm7c]</ref>

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] redeco and retool of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]] [[#Voyager Class toys 3|"Battle Blades" Optimus Prime toy]] features the Japanese release's hooks (instead of swords), plus an all-new [[mouthplate]]-less, mouthed face. As part of the set's lunar theme, reflections of stars are painted across his vehicle mode sides and on his windshield, with a sharp reflection of [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in one of his windows. This time, his [[Matrix of Leadership]] is cast in orange plastic.

:This exclusive has a peculiar and common error in that the arm hooks' hubs stick out farther than they should, causing a gap that runs down the middle of the cab's nose in vehicle mode.

: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.

:Optimus comes with a "bonus value" 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 ''not'' highlighted as a "bonus" figure.

:Fireburst Optimus Prime is a redeco of the standard ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime, sporting a darker shade of blue and a "burning" color scheme that includes replacing all translucent blue parts with translucent orange. Because of this, his light-piping eyes were neutered by opaque light blue paint.

: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'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.

*'''Striker Optimus''' (MechTech Leader, [[November 17]] 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA28'''
**''Accessories:'' Eliminator Gun & Assault Blaster (forms [[Mega Striker]]), shield/battle shield

: Labeled as a "[[Triple Changer]]", Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of ''Dark of the Moon'' 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 5mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys"R"Us|Toys"R"Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The "I am Optimus Prime" saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the "We must stop the Decepticons!" saying of 2010 ''Transformers'' Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included.

: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 "battle vehicle mode", resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicle modes seen in ''Dark of the Moon''.

:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the "Eliminator Gun" and "Assault Blaster", which combine into the "Mega Striker", a rifle that closely resembles the one used in ''Dark of the Moon''. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In "battle vehicle mode", 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|5mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' 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.

:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode.

The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime's ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime'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'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.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA15'''
**''Accessories:'' Tank A & Tank B (forms Ion Blaster), Jetwing jet pack, Arm Gatling Cannon A & B, Leg Armor A & B

:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' 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's CG model in ''Dark of the Moon'', 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's electronics, but batteries are not included.

: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' back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus' 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 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' onwards, but due to the lack modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn'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.

:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime's flight tech for ''Dark of the Moon'', and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' 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.

: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.

:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.

Random Japanese text remains floating in space on the top of the back panel and underneath the "Jetwing Optimus Prime" name on the front. Curiously, the left flap has been rewritten to eliminate mention of [[NEST]] and the jetpack's ability to detach, while the right flap has been (badly) edited to remove all mentions of [[MechTech]].

*'''Ultimate Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Ultimate, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA32'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Omega Combat Armor, MechTech Ultimax Super Cannon

:Billed on his packaging as "BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!", Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a "normal" 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 5mm fist holes, as well as additional 5mm 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 5mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.

:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus' 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 5mm 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 5mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can support itself using folding blue landing gear, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic.

:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime'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'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'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's center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration "I am Optimus Prime". The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the "backpack", allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus' imaginary "flight" operations.

: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's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class iteration.

: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.

: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 ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' packaging) styled after Optimus Prime's trailer, with an additional foil-embossed sleeve styled after the hood of Optimus Prime'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.

: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 "{{w|Dragon (zodiac)|Year of the Dragon}}" Special Edition in [[2012]], since the Chinese Zodiac sign for that year is the Dragon.

:This toy was later made available in North America as an Amazon.com exclusive.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
: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.

: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.

: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't be transformed in package.

:''Bash Bots'' 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's built-in stand. He & his stand can connect with any Bash Bots to fight with, especially the included Starscream (instead of his nemesis Megatron).

:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the ''Dark of the Moon'' Go-Bots toys. Prime's pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.

: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's running, rather than just rolling.

: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.

: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.

:The first release in the Asian-exclusive ''[[Asia Premium Series]]'' toyline is an extensive redeco of the previously-Japanese exclusive [[#Leader Class toys 4|Striker Optimus]]. He features a comprehensive paint scheme directly based on [[#JetfireBuster|Jetpower Optimus Prime]], with blue pinstriped flames, lots of silver paint, and [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] parts, although his hands are left unpainted in favor of painting his mirrors silver. Along with his standard accessories, he also comes with 2 battle blades, which were previously exclusive to Toys"R"Us Japan. He features the "We must stop the Decepticons!" voice chip, but batteries are not included. Rather helpfully, his instructions are supplemented with text instructions written in English for all the steps, as well as the additional photographs used for the previous Striker Optimus toy.

:[[Asia Premium Series]] Optimus Prime Ultimate Edition is an extensive screen-accurate redeco of Jetwing Optimus Prime (with a maskless head from Buster Optimus Prime), this figure features '''loads''' of accessories from the Striker & Jetwing figures, and includes brand-new knuckle and battle hooks based on the HFTD Optimus', which can be installed in either hand. 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 [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#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.

**''Set number'': '''30689'''
**''Pieces'': '''542'''
**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Skywarp, two Stunt Drivers
**''Accessories'': 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

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set'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|''Classics'' 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 "headquarters" 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's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: 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 "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

: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.

:The Optimus Prime Kreon in this set is based on the character's rusty, crusty "evasion mode" from the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' movie. He has a ferrous-metal backpack, which is used to interact with the magnetic parts in the various sets. In this specific set's case, it's so he can be grabbed by the buildable [[Strafe (AOE)#Kre-O|Strafe]]'s dino-claws, once Strafe uses said claws to open up the "laser" cage made to contain Optimus.

**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle

:This version of "movie" Optimus is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' incarnation, as that's how he appears in "[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]" and as a mascot character on the park grounds. He is available exclusively in a box set sold at The Ride's gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks. After several years of ''only'' being available at the park proper, the four-pack was eventually added to Universal's online store.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies. Optimus'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' tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, while Optimus's medium-pearlescent-gray plastics (his arm-mounted smokestacks) have been lightened considerably and lost a significant amount of metallic sheen.

: In mid-2020, the set was revamped again ''again'', 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.

*'''First Edition Optimus Prime''' (2014)
**'''14 OF 30'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield

: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toy line]]. Prime is an all-new Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star "5700 OP" 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 "15 easy steps." 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 simplified transformation also comes at the expense of having a very bulky "backpack" of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. However, his truck [[kibble]] can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own.
[[File:TF-AOE-FE-Optimus-Prime-individual-modes.jpg|left|250px|thumb]]

:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via a 5mm 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|5mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime's trailer.

: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's Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as "14 of 30" in Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]'' campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.<ref name="fepress">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for ''Age of Extinction'' First Edition Optimus Prime]</ref> To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies ''another'' product as "14 of 30", which doesn't sport any such markings on its packaging ''either''.<ref name="retro">[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Habro 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.</ref>

**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, flame attachment
:Part of the first wave of TakaraTomy ''[[Movie Advanced Series|Lost Age: Movie Advanced]]'' toys, this Japanese-exclusive redeco of [[#Deluxe Class toys|2007 ''Transformers'' Protoform Optimus Prime]] is given a ''Generation 1''-styled color scheme (which is ''also'' based on his appearances in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Foundation]]'' comic-book mini-series). Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. His now-blue flame decoration piece fits the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail (Not sure if this 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). The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.

*'''Silver Knight Optimus Prime & Grimlock''' (Deluxe, 2014)
**'''29 OF 30'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword
:A redeco of the ''Dark of the Moon'' 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]]'s sword, which can be wielded by his 5mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, ''especially'' with the shoulder kibble & the bottom leg's posts (This can be amended if you slightly widen the holes with 3mm hand drills). As with the original ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class figure, the instructions did not 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 ''Chronicle'' or the ''Movie Trilogy Series'' figure. This figure has slightly loose shoulder joints.

:This figure was only available in a two-pack with a Voyager Class [[Grimlock (AOE)#Target2Pack|Grimlock]] figure. The two-pack was exclusively available at Target stores in the United States, Canada, and Australia, at Tesco stores in the United Kingdom and Hungary and at Galeria Kaufhof department stores in Germany. In Asia, some of the remaining stock is available in some hobby shops and some video stores like Speedy Video.

**''Japanese Name'': '''Classic Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD02'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2014-[[May 17|05-17]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion cannon, projectile/nozzle

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Evasion Mode Optimus Prime" is an all-new figure based on the character'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'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, ''two'' false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm as the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a "default" 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.

:Optimus includes a spring-loaded missile firing "ion cannon" modeled after Megatron's shotgun from ''Dark of the Moon'', 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 5mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it.

:In time-honored tradition, Prime's instructions depict the toy with an alternate "[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]" head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' and "Rusty" 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.

:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy, but slightly larger than his ''Generation 1'' toy's truck) he is quite tall. Due to the lack of molded trailer hitches, Evasion Mode Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it can be hooked with the truck's cavity, albeit slightly lifted up.

:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' toys, is dubbed "Classic Optimus Prime", and opts for a deco closer to Prime'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 is neutered with opaque light blue paint. In terms of quality control, at least ''one'' sample has missing its silver paint on the head's left cheek. Moreover, there is a variant that comes with his faceplated head sculpt.{{fact|Like, which one?}}

:The faceplated version of the mold was used to make [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]].

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Leader Class toys, this is yet ''another'' completely new "big" 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'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.

: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.

: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).

: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's [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy'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'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.<ref name="argos">[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.</ref> Sometimes, the spring loaded "[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]" feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''LA01'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Wing Backpack/Battle Station, 2 Hound's guns, 2 Sword-Guns, 2 face-guns, Sword of Judgement

:A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime. He transforms into a Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck as seen in the film, in ''4 steps'':
::1. Press 2 buttons on the truck steps make the side panels pop out in position.
::2. Fold down the front section to transform it's robot mode legs.
::3. Fold back the rear parts to form the kibble.
::4. Position the arms into place, and Optimus will announce "Transform!", with a classic transformation sound effect.
:Like Stomp & Chomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers (Both Hasbro and TakaraTomy), activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He is notably less kibble than other AOE Optimus Primes...from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so promising with large chunks of Western Star truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he's wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out...

:The Sword of Judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the ''Age of Extinction'' 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.

:This Optimus Prime can tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it lets the wheels lift off the ground.

**''Accessories'': "[[Ion blaster|Rifle]]", 2 "[[Dual Energon Swords|Energy Swords]]", [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#MPM4|Matrix of Leadership]]

:Released to conclude the 10th Anniversary of the live-action film series, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]] Movie Series'' Optimus Prime is a brand new mold that transforms from a 25 cm-tall robot (a little taller than MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|Convoy]]) resembling how the character appeared in the first live action movie into a <s>Kenworth W900</s> modified Peterbilt 379, in 43 steps, with many of the engineering cues being distinctively based and improved on the [[#Leader_Class_toys_2|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class mold]].

:The figure has diecast 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's, and an abdomen that opens to reveal a chamber housing a diecast Matrix of Leadership. He comes with said Matrix, his "Rifle" (aka "Ion Cannon"), and a pair of "Energy Swords" that tab in behind his wrists (the hands unfortunately have to be bent forward to accommodate these). All three weapons can combine and store on the trailer hitch in vehicle mode. Speaking of, Optimus can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|trailer]] from ''Masterpiece'' MP-10 Convoy (and its various redecoes).

: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. It should be noted that this mold does not combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Leader Class toys|Jetfire]].

:The TakaraTomy release replaces the dark gray plastic on the Hasbro version with lighter gray as well as adding the missing paint apps shown on the box.

: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. The pipes that are supposed to connect to the bottom of the smokestacks also don't swing out far enough to properly do so if the feet are tabbed together completely. When attempting to complete the cab assembly, it is advised to apply upward pressure on the front side barrels while pushing the cab downwards. A misassembly error is also present on all versions of the mold, where the roof hinges that connect the sides of the cabin are reversed.

:[[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't properly configured, and the smokestacks in truck mode aren't extended.

:In the United States, Canada, and Hasbro's Asian markets, ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Optimus Prime was exclusively available from [[Toys"R"Us]], whereas in Spain, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour. It'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 "Toys-Shop", but again might have been available online only.

**''Accessories'': "Ion Blaster", [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#MPM12|Matrix of Leadership]]

:The second ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Optimus Prime transforms from a robot based on his appearance in the ''Bumblebee'' mid-credits scene into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film's ending scene, much like the ''Studio Series'' toy [[#SS38|below]]. He comes with his "Ion Blaster" 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 ''Masterpiece Movies Series'' toy above, Optimus Prime can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP44|trailer]] included with MP-44 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|Convoy]].

: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.

: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.

:This toy was revealed on February 25, 2021 via live-stream. It will be a [[Target]] exclusive in the United States and a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Canada.

:Legion Class Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the first ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class figure, with the deco resembling the paint job from Optimus Prime's Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck. While the main body is identical to the figure, the arms and legs are newly tooled, with simple assemblies for the wheels.

It should be noted that his flame decals are ''painted over'' the side windows.

:Available with Grimlock, this Optimus Prime is a redeco (or possibly a repaint) of the figure above, featuring extra paint applications on the chest and thighs, and he features a different flame pattern on his side doors. His Autobot insignia is now tampographed on his right arm. The cyberglyphs on his front hood is confusingly translated as "PRIME". The 2-pack also comes with a card, which the glyphs being decoded as "DINOBOTS". Optimus Prime and Grimlock also saw release as a Toys"R"Us Japan exclusive, making this Optimus Prime redeco/slight retool to be first sold at Japanese markets.

:The final product retains the simple-assembly wheels rather than being assembled with rivet pins seen in the stock photos.

*'''Optimus Prime 2-Pack''' (2017)
**''Accessories'': MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe, Gun/missile/flame attachment

:This 2-pack release of Optimus Primes are redecoes of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|''Transformers'' (2007) Protoform Optimus Prime]], and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 2|''MechTech'' Deluxe Class Optimus Prime]].

:"Cybertron Optimus Prime" new 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 "entry" mode. The silver paint on his chest was slightly changed from the original and he lacks the paint on his feet, his "headlights", and the top of his "entry" 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.

:Although ''MechTech'' Optimus Prime's deco is similar to the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 2|first Deluxe Class figure]], 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 & thighs are omitted. His front truck hood/backpack'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.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2017)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield

:This Voyager-sized Optimus Prime is an all-new mold (with a similar transformation scheme to [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Generations|''Age of Extinction'' 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 & the shield based on his final design in the movie, albeit the sword being painted similarly to the Armor Knight Optimus Prime's sword. His Sword can store underneath his Vehicle mode or his robot mode backpack, while the shield can be stored on the truck's fifth wheel hitch, which can also tow the trailer included from the Japanese exclusive [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#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.

:Surprisingly, this was also the first Hasbro exclusive transforming Movie Optimus Prime figure to be based on the final design seen in ''Age of Extinction''. 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 ''The Last Knight''. The sword's blade is still painted as the heated-up version from the concept art.

[[File:Shellformer_TLK.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Continuing the family [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#"First Edition" toys|tradition.]]]]
:Like the larger ''First Edition'' figure, you can actually separate the robot mode from his vehicle shell, displaying both of his modes at once... albeit unlike the ''First Edition'' figure, this tweak could sacrifice the even stability between those two separated figures. Some of the pieces like the legs/rear wheels are particularly difficult to separate.

:While he can tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech Trailer]], it cannot turn left or right due to the gray trailer hitch slightly pressing against the trailer's landing gear joints, and it ''slightly'' lifts the trailer with the front-rear tires lifting off the ground. The 2018 giveaway event-exclusive [[Quad Barrel Shotgun#Generations|Quad Barrel Shotgun]] accessory can be used for this figure.

:The Hasbro stock photos of the toy are ''slightly'' mistransformed: his pectoral armor is not folded correctly in robot mode. At least a ''very small'' number of units feature a faceplate-less head sculpt which was probably intended for a later retool, but there is no news about this pretool being released in the future. This figure was also released in Toys"R"Us Japan on May 1st, 2017 as a store exclusive, likewise identical to the Hasbro release.

:The CG stock photos feature extra silver paint apps on the lower thighs and hands, which the final product does not feature.

:Released as one of the prizes from the "Midnight Madness" event in a Toys R'Us in Singapore, this Optimus Prime is a redeco (of sorts) of the Voyager Class figure. The figure'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.

:In some countries like Malaysia, Prime could be obtained by buying some certain items in an expensive price, given away along with a similarly 'battle-damaged' 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.

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.

:Dark Optimus Prime could be purchased along with advance tickets for ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'' via movie cards from June 25, 2017, on the Omni7 website, and from September 29, 2017, if the item was purchased without advance tickets.

**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield, Tire piece

:The ''San Diego Comic-Con 2017'' exclusive Optimus Prime figure is another redeco of the ''Premier Edition'' figure, which aims for a more movie-accurate look than the original by still sharing the same paint masks, but replacing the chest'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 'collar', 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 ''Transformers: Alternators'' releases and the Hasbro Toy Shop/SDCC 2011 exclusive figure.

:Hilariously, Optimus Prime also comes with an ''authentic tire piece'' from a Western Star 5700XE truck (no seriously, look it up.). His stock photo is also ''slightly'' 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.

**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield
:This redeco of the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' 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 ''Generation 1'' toys. He features a new sword and shield accessory, which can be used to decode the patterns.

:In the United Kingdom, this Optimus Prime was released as an Argos exclusive along with several other sets branded as part of the ''Reveal the Shield'' [[subline imprint]]. His United States release was initially claimed to be exclusive to [[Target]] by online retailers from Asia, but even though the other ''Reveal the Shield'' products eventually became available at Target, Voyager Class Optimus Prime was released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in the United States instead, complete with a "Toys"R"Us exclusive" sticker.

In comparison to the first ''Age of Extinction'' Leader Class figure, his vacuum-metalized front truck bumper, sun visors, robot mode chest, smokestacks and side tanks chest was 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 casted in colorless plastic.

**''Accessories'': Temenos Sword, Calibur Axe, Overshield/Fifth Wheel Hitch, Energon Sword (limited edition)

:Calibur Optimus Prime is a retool of the Armor Knight Optimus Prime figure, who is a retool of the original ''Age of Extinction'' Leader Class figure, with the fifth wheel hitch now forming his 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 and an additional [[partformer|partforming]] gimmick to boot, although the shield still can be converted into a backpack like the original Leader Class mold do. He also comes with an axe based on the one used in the third film.

:The initial release of the figure comes with a limited edition Energon Sword. According to [https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%83%9F%E3%83%BC-%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC-TLK-15-%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%AA%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AA%E3%83%97%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A0/dp/B072FVY1SX/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1498192402&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=TLK+optimus#productDetails Amazon Japan's page], the included Energon Sword & Axe is also compatible with ''Movie the Best'' MB-11 Optimus Prime figure (seen above), which basically makes Calibur Optimus Prime a weapon expansion pack for said figure.

:In an amusing (but glaring) example of poor quality control in a Takara product, the back of the packaging features a small amount of [[Engrish]], notably the word "kinetic" being written as "''Kinetic'''k'''''". The bio also mentions the elemental metal as the "Cyber-Matter" living metal, which is used for the Aligned continuity family. Oddly, TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout "battle figure" included with Telebi Magazine's [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].

:The Calibur Axe was later redecoed into "Bronze Caliber Axe", as a giveaway accessory for the 3rd ''The Last Knight Final Battle Campaign'' in Japan. In 2018, Optimus Prime is released along with [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TLKLeader|Megatron]] as part of the TakaraTomy Mall exclusive "Optimus Prime VS Megatron" set.

His Titan Master, retooled from [[Recoil (G1)#Generations|Flintlock]], features a new face that is based on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Deluxe|''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax toy]]. As a redeco of the Kup mold, Orion Pax still suffers the leg panel misassembly.

:The set also includes a redeco of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|''Generations War for Cybertron'']] Optimus Prime figure, which changes the original figure's dark red plastic to a brighter, more vibrant red, changes the gray plastic to a darker charcoal tone, changes the "windows" from gray to nearly black, and replaces most of the original figure's pink-ish red paint details (which were yellow on the redeco from the "Rage over Cybertron" three-pack) to teal.

: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 ''Tribute'' line, we're putting it here. Continuing the tradition, the 2-pack was first released in some Asian countries like Taiwan without any prior announcement from Hasbro itself. A few months after the 2-pack's release, ''Tribute'' Optimus Prime & Orion Pax saw worldwide release through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], including an Amazon Japan listing bearing a ''The Last Knight'' ID number.

He comes with a pair of [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]]s, which can be mounted onto his arms or store on the back of his robot mode or truck mode. The figure combines engineering concepts from his ''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class figure with techniques previously used on ''Prime: First Edition'' [[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 ''Studio Series'' 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 ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:While the 5mm compatible arms can fit with most weapons with the same post size, some of the weapons' handles can barely fit on it due to either the slightly thickened tab or sculpted thin panels.

: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. This mold is not meant to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]], although it can be achieved with some [[Fan mode|fiddling]].

* '''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2018)
**''Hasbro ID number'': '''32'''
**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''SS-25'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': '''[[March 23]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': [[Ion blaster]], "Highway Showdown" backdrop

:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' (though sold under the first ''Transformers'' film's branding), this ''Studio Series'' 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 ''Studio Series'' [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]] to form "Jetwing Optimus Prime," while resulting in a somewhat more involved transformation. His color scheme features a much higher contrast than the previous release. 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’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.

[[File:Jet Optimus SS.jpg|left|thumb]]
: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 on Prime's vehicle mode or on the larger rectangular pegs on his cab nose/forearms or robot mode back. While Optimus can use the first mold's blades, the new backpack's design prevents the swords from being stored, and using the intended "underslung" 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 ''Transformers'' 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.

:As the front grills rely on the hook-and-tab assembly to complete the truck mode and combined to the fact that they're molded in translucent plastic with silver entirely painted on it, the painted tabs can chip off after many transformations, slightly breaking the front grill assembly apart, leaving a ''very small'' gap. Care must be taken when combining him with Jetfire, as it can place much stress on the hinges that the grills are connected to.

:The packaging stock photo features him having a misassembled hip, which is facing backwards. Speaking of misassembly, a small amount 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's still in-package.

:His rear wheels were later reused for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, [[2019]])
**''Hasbro ID number'': '''38'''
**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''SS-30'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': '''[[April 27]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': Ion blaster, "[[Golden Gate Bridge|San Francisco Bridge]]" backdrop

:The third ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is based on his appearance in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', 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's final scene. Optimus comes with the [[Ion blaster]] he is seen wielding in the film's Cybertron sequences and a backdrop featuring the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] where he meets up with Bumblebee.

:While his truck mode scales with most of the ''Studio Series'' brethren, Optimus's robot mode shares the same height as his 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's design closely resembles [[Mark Yang]]'s concept art of the character, complete with flat feet. Unlike most of the ''Studio Series'' figures, this Optimus doesn't have any insignia tampographed or sculpted on. The silver weathering on his stomach varies from figure-to-figure.

: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.

:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|MechTech Trailer]] due to the still-too-far-forward hitch port. It can, however, hitch up properly with the ''Studio Series'' Leader Class trailer below, though the fifth wheel's 5mm hole isn't wide enough to properly connect with the 7mm hitching peg. Placing the peg in the hitch holds it loosely in place, which is fine for static posing but likely to fall off with play.

:This toy was one of the items that was released as part of Hasbro's Transformers 35th Anniversary promotional mailer box<ref>https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/21/transformers-35th-anniversary-promo-box-in-hand-388546</ref> and was also given a repaint as part of TakaraTomy's own [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#35th Anniversary|35th Anniversary exclusive set]].

**''Hasbro ID number'': '''44'''
**''TakaraTomy name'': '''Jetwing Optimus Prime'''
**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''SS-39'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': '''[[August 31]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': Trailer/[[Armored Weapons Platform]]/Omega Combat Armor, 2 cannons, [[Energon-axe]], [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], Shield, Ion blaster, abs piece, "Battle of Chicago" backdrop (2nd version)

: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 ''Dark of the Moon'', complete with a new trailer forming his weapons platform and combat armor. He also comes with two cannons, an energon axe, a shield, an energon sword, and a slightly redecoed (de-decoed?) ion blaster from the second toy, losing its blackened barrel. His fellow Leader Class Autobot, [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], comes packaged with a replacement ''Transformers'' and ''Revenge of the Fallen''-accurate abdomen piece, allowing them to combine... though the piece is color-matched to Optimus's first ''Studio Series'' 05 release, a figure that lacks this figure's new molding and is thus incompatible with Jetfire. In addition to the new deco and molding, the hinges in 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.

:In terms of deco, Optimus features gradient orange paint on his forearms/truck front which the Voyager Class release didn't have, while the formerly transparent parts are now cast in opaque blue plastic, with both his real and [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|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 ''any'' paint on the final toy is the sword. Conversely, both the CG render ''and'' 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.

:The CG render on the front packaging is a rather lazily-edited version of the Optimus Prime art (complete with ''Revenge of the Fallen''-styled abdomen), with the Jetwing unit slapped on his back. There are also a few obvious design oversights, with no official instructions on how to store the Ion Blaster and no actual means of attaching the shield to Prime's arm in a shield-like manner. And while Prime himself has been improved to prevent parts popping off, the dark grey "shoulder straps" 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.

: Despite the figure's size classification, Prime himself is Voyager-sized (obviously, seeing as he's a retool of a previous ''Studio Series'' Voyager). The Leader Class price point comes from the extra accessories that he comes packaged with.

Optimus' 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.

:Due to its simplified transformation, Optimus' 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 ''Reveal the Shield'' counterpart, and his Energon Igniter port ends up under his right foot in robot mode rather than on his knee.

[[File:UW-Flowspade.jpg|thumb|300px|"Y'all in for a visit from Aunt Flowspade!"]]

Originally an agent of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], '''Flowspade''' (フロウスペード ''Furōsupēdo'') abandoned her spying role to serve [[Megaempress]], the very bot whose ranks she was assigned to infiltrate. She now serves as one of the charismatic fembot's [[4 Guards]]. Her weapon of choice is the [[Tornado Cutter]], a shuriken that can cause cyclones as an extension of her power over wind.

Flowspade combines with her 4 teammates to form the mighty [[Megatronia]].

==Fiction==
===''Unite Warriors''===
Mistrusting Megaempress, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] had Flowspade infiltrate her 4 Guards, but the spy ended up being swayed by Megaempress's charisma and became truly loyal to her. {{storylink|#Unite Warriors 2|''Unite Warriors'' Flowspade bio}} Shockwave had her and Megaempress sealed away in his base until [[2021]], when the other Guards freed them. {{storylink|Megatronia Chapter}} She and the rest of Megaempress's retinue then observed a battle between [[Grand Galvatron]] and [[Sky Reign]]. {{Storylink|Sky Reign Chapter}}

When Megaempress and 4 Guards joined the battle, Flowspade took on [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] and [[Roller (G1)|Roller]], using her "Transplay" ninja technique to forcibly transform them into giant fist weapons that she wielded into battle with the [[Autobot]]s present. Granted the ability to combine by Sky Reign's [[joint energon]], the team then merged into Megatronia to fight [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]]. {{storylink|Megatronia Chapter}} Flowspade stood ready to protect Megaempress when [[Unicron]] interrupted the battle, {{storylink|Ruination Chapter, Part One}} and came to her defense when [[Galvatron II|Galvatron]]'s ghostly form attacked her. After helping defeat Unicron as part of Megatronia, she enjoyed a bath together with her empress. {{storylink|Ruination Chapter, Part Two}}

During another bathing occasion, Flowspade was responsible for washing Megatronia's back. {{storylink|Unite Warriors Offshot#Customary Car Wash Meeting in the Bath!|Customary Car Wash Meeting in the Bath!}}

She transforms into a sports car that resembles a Ferrari 458 Italia. She can also form an arm or leg to super-robot Megatronia, though in this mode she can also combine with any other ''Combiner Wars'' or ''Unite Warriors'' Voyager class figure.

:Flowspade's lower forearms are pretty close in size with the ''Combiner Wars''/''Unite Warriors'' combiner connections, and as such—much like the image at the top of this article—one can slot her arms inside the chest-cavities that the combiner pegs store in; with a fair amount of friction to hold them without falling out too easily. However, one must also be aware that this was not its intended purpose and so there is a small tab on either forearm that prevents them from going in all the way—so don't force anything! Also be mindful that being a Deluxe Class figure, attaching another Deluxe to either of her arms, will result in her becoming ''very'' top-heavy. This can also be achieved with any other use of the mold with these forearms.

[[File:CappucinoConcept.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67| I think what I like best about the live action films is their refined sensibilities.]]

The '''Cappuccino bot''' is a wired little [[Appliancebot]] who can conceal himself in the form of a (duh) Cappuccino machine. He's homicidal from birth, has what kinda looks like a big mustache, and farts fire ('cause that's really funny, right?). Anyway that's about all we know.

Burn Out (Diaclone)

Felipescado: /* Notes */

{{disambig3|Burnout}}
:''Burn Out is a [[Diaclone (faction)|Diaclone]] mech from the [[Diaclone]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:BotCon2015 BurnOut CardArt.jpg|upright=1.0|thumb|I'm the original [[Skids (disambiguation)|Skids]].]]

'''Burn Out''' is one of the results of the [[Diaclone project]], a mech assigned to [[Dia]] that uses her personality as the basis of its AI. Unfortunately, since Dia herself is stoic, determined, and ''stubborn'', the AI often clashes with Dia on the best course of action, which tires out the pilot more than actually piloting the mech. Her solution? Turn off the voice command function.

While on the small side of Diaclone mechs, Burn Out possesses an impressive array of weaponry, including pulse rifles and concussion levelers.

Crossing dimensions in pursuit of the [[Waruder]]s, [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)|Lift-Ticket]]/[[Cline]] and Burn Out/Dia found themselves stranded on [[Axiom Nexus]]. Following a Waruder signal underground, the Diaclone team bumped into a group of Cybertron's most wanted criminals. Startled, they fled the scene. The groups reconvened as they both wound up within the Waruder hive. Joining forces with [[Megatron (Movie)#TransTech|C-81]]'s group, as well as [[Optimus Prime (G1)#General Optimus|General Optimus Prime]] and [[Hound (G1)#TransTech|Sergeant Hound]], they did their best to hold the insectoid invaders at bay. During the battle, Dia used her mech to great effectiveness, but begun to become overwhelmed when there appeared to be no end to the Waruder soldiers. Things took a turn for the worse when the Lift-Ticket mech took a serious blow, forcing Dia to use Burn Out to protect her now vulnerable teammate. Thankfully, the Waruders were led off-planet thanks to the collaborative efforts of everyone involved. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}}

[[File:Minicon symbol.png|upright=1.4|thumb|Intentionally designed to look like the letter "M", the Mini-Con symbol is also reflected in the design of Unicron's helmet]]
'''Mini-Cons''' are a race of small, roughly [[human]]-sized Transformers capable of [[Powerlinx]]ing with a larger Transformer to impart extra abilities or greatly increase their strength.

Their origins (when explored) vary depending on the continuity in which they appear. In some timelines they are creations of [[Unicron]]; in others, they are creations of the [[Last Autobot]] or the descendants of [[Micronus Prime]]. Others are just... there.

==Fiction==
===Unicron Trilogy===
====Cartoon continuity====
[[File:Street action team.JPG|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
[[Unicron]] created the Mini-Cons to be mindless tools, sent to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] as an agitating element to the Transformers' civil war. The power-enhancing "smart tools" would be unleashed upon the populace, who would snap them up and bond with them, and the war would only get more destructive, as Unicron drank in the negative psychic energies from the death and destruction. Once he'd gathered the power he needed, the Mini-Cons would turn on their supposed masters, incapacitating them, and Unicron would fully awaken to devour the planet and all Transformers on it, eliminating his biggest obstacle to devouring all of existence.

{{quote|Who would have thought the Mini-Cons were created by Unicron's cells?|[[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]]|''[[Drift (episode)|Drift]]''}}

But through a strange warp in space and time that no one really bothered to explain, three [[human]] children from the future—[[Rad White|Rad]], [[Carlos Lopez|Carlos]] and [[Alexis Thi Dang|Alexis]]—were sent to the Mini-Cons' birthing chamber on Cybertron just seconds before the small robots emerged from their pods. As the Mini-Cons had been designed to form mental bonds with other life forms, when Rad touched the Mini-Con who he knew from the future as [[High Wire (Armada)|High Wire]], High Wire apparently formed his bond then, with Rad... and through the Mini-Cons' shared "soul dimension", the [[Linkage (dimension)|Linkage]], sentience and free will spread throughout the Mini-Cons, forming "souls", and crippling Unicron's plans drastically.
{{-}}

====Dreamwave ''Armada'' continuity====
[[File:Mini-cons.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Gotta catch 'em all!]]
Mini-Cons are a second race of Transformer, mostly living in designated sectors by themselves, which left them open to attack when [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] led his Decepticons on capture raids. Through experimentation on prisoners, the Decepticons discovered the Mini-Cons were rewired, their power (disproportionate to their size) could be added to a Transformer through [[Powerlinx]]ing. Mini-Cons are also capable of tapping an extra-dimensional energy source of unknown origin, but are wary of doing this, and most have inhibitors installed to prevent this from happening.

[[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], a Mini-Con refugee from another dimension, led Cybertron's collected Mini-Cons in tapping that dimension's energies and channeling them into an attack on Unicron which left him stranded on the far fringes of space.

After Unicron's defeat, most Mini-Cons re-established their villages in the Mini-Con sector. When Unicron reappeared ten years later, no one went to fetch the Mini-Cons to battle Unicron again, so it seems likely the Mini-Cons' connection to their extra-dimensional power source was severed.

{{note|There is no indication that Mini-Cons are related to Unicron in Dreamwave ''Armada'' continuity.}}

====Powerlinx and Evolution====
Mini-Cons have the special ability to actually evolve other machines, from transforming simple cars into jet-powered assault vehicles, to upgrading Transformers to have new weapons spring from their body. The nature of Powerlinxing is emphasized more in the Japanese ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Legends of the Microns]]'' counterpart to Transformers ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]''. Once Powerlinxed, the Autobot would call out "EVOLUTION!" and a portion of their body would literally reconfigure to become a new weapon. Afterwards, they retained this new ability without the Powerlinxing of the Mini-Con which granted it. Linking to that Mini-Con again simply enhances their firepower. The Mini-Con is not required in order to use the evolved weaponry afterwards. This has caused some confusion in the Armada viewing audience due to dub issues and the downplaying of the "Evolution" theme. Despite this, the term is used twice in the American series by Megatron.

====Gigantion Mini-Cons====
[[File:GiantCybertronDrillBit.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]

The exact origin of the Gigantion Mini-Cons is questionable as presented within the context of the show itself. The show offers little to nothing on their genesis, merely their function as "little detail" workers whose brains developed similarly to human children because of this (uh, yeah). [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]] speculated that they evolved a small stature to adapt to Gigantion like he adapted to the [[Animatron|Jungle Planet]]. In ''Galaxy Force'', they are stated to have existed since ancient times and controlled the larger Transformers. There are even ancient ruins discovered with inscriptions using ''Armada'' Mini-Con model sheets.

The [[Fun Publications]] fiction has linked these Mini-Cons to those of ''Armada'', which simply has them migrating to Gigantion (as well as the other colony worlds) with the Transformers carrying the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, offering the only definitive origin of those Mini-Cons. This would also make them creations of Unicron. However, this does not fully line up with the fiction, as the Mini-Cons in Armada are shown appearing in the time of Optimus Prime, years after the world colonization—so the matter is left more than a bit vague.
{{-}}

====Packaging blurb====
Long ago, Mini-Cons fled Cybertron to escape the endless war between Autobots and Decepticons. Many teams were broken up in that war, leaving only a few left living in peace while roaming the universe.<ref>[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]] Armada Series Mini-Con multi-pack packaging blurb.</ref>

====Ask Vector Prime====
In [[Aurex 304.0 Epsilon]], Mini-Cons were the creations of [[Primacron]]. They sparked a four-way war between the Autobots, Decepticons, [[Omnicon]]s, and [[Destructicon (RID)|Destructicons]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/11}}

===Generation 1===
====3H comics====
[[Ramulus]] uses "Mini-Con" as a term of derision, implying that [[CatSCAN]] is timid or insufficiently assertive. {{storylink|Betrayal}}

====''Classics''====
Mini-Cons were created by the [[Last Autobot]] to cleanse Cybertron of [[Demon]]s and [[Mutant (G1)|Mutants]] before the Autobots returned. {{storylink|The New World}}

====Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity====
The Mini-Cons of this universe are a sub-set of [[Micromaster#Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Micromasters]], diminutive Autobots who were originally [[Cyberdroid|unable to transform]] until exposed to the energies of a dimensional shockwave. When most of the Micromaster population decamped from Earth under the command of [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] to found their own civilization on [[Micro|Planet Micro]], some elected to remain with the Autobots to help them continue the war. These little 'bots partnered up with larger Transformers, adopting weapon and equipment [[alternate mode]]s (in addition to their vehicular forms) which their partners could wield. Like the Mini-Cons from other universes, they provide their partners with a power-up by connecting to them when in weapon mode. Some of the earliest known include [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]] and [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]'s partners [[Groundshaker (Legends)|Groundshaker]] and [[Phaser (G1)|Phaser]]. {{storylink|Transformers 2015 Tailgate/G1 Mini-Con Chapter|Tailgate/G1 Mini-Con Chapter}}

Evidence suggests that Mini-Cons would persist into the [[Beast Era]]: the enigmatic [[Wedge Shape]], as well as several of the combatants involved in the "[[Micron Booster#Micron Booster Ver. 4: Endless Battle - Eternal Prisoner|Eternal Prisoner]]" conflict, professed [[Maximal]] and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] allegiances. {{storylink|Micron Booster|Micron Booster Ver. 4}} Additionally, Mini-Con [[Dragoyell]] is reported to have taken part in the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]]. {{storylink|Dragoyell|Dragoyell's bio}}

====2005 IDW continuity====
[[File:MTMTE39 Nickel.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
When the Transformers first encountered the [[Stentarian]] species, they mistook the tiny [[Ammonite]]s for miniature Decepticons, and [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Brainstorm]] nicknamed them "Minicons". {{storylink|Little Victories}}

Another group of Mini-Cons were the product of a colonization mission spearheaded by [[Micronus Prime]]. The [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Prion (Titan)|Prion]] left Cybertron to colonize [[Prion (planet)|a distant planet]], and the Transformers birthed from his [[hot spot (phenomenon)|hot spot]] evolved into a civilization of Mini-Cons. {{storylink|White Heat}} Their idyllic colony was eventually discovered and razed by the anti-mechanoid [[Black Block Consortia]]; the last known Mini-Con, a young female named [[Nickel]], joined the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] when they happened across the devastated planet. {{storylink|The Permanent Revolution}}

===Live action film series===
Little is known about the nature of Mini-Cons in this continuity, other than the fact that they're small. Known Mini-Cons include [[Longarm (Movie Mini-Con)|Longarm]], [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], [[Chopster]], and [[Bomb-Burst (PCC)|Bomb-Burst]].

===Power Core Combiners===
[[Commander (PCC)|Commander]]s had the ability to combine with Mini-Cons, which powered up their abilities in vaguely defined ways.<ref>[[Smolder (PCC)|Smolder]]'s bio, [[Sledge (PCC)|Sledge]]'s bio, [[Heavytread (PCC)|Heavytread]]'s bio, and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]]'s bio.</ref> Some power ups are given more specific descriptions: [[Huffer (PCC)|Huffer]] became faster, stronger, and smarter; [[Searchlight (PCC)|Searchlight]] got extended operational duration; [[Leadfoot (PCC)|Leadfoot]] became invisible to sensors; and [[Darkstream]] received enhanced maneuverability.<ref>See respective toy bios.</ref>

===Aligned continuity family===
[[File:HuntingSeason Mini-Cons.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Please don't let this be JIBSIR...]]

'''Mini-Cons''' (sometimes spelled '''Minicons''') are a race of small, human-sized Transformers who are native to Cybertron's two moons. Descended from [[Micronus Prime]], they have a great variety of robot mode shapes, with some appearing humanoid, and others having animal-based robot forms. Though some Cybertronians appear to display prejudice against Mini-Cons—[[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] was known to have despised them, while [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Orion Pax]] associated them with distrust—they nevertheless had a political presence in the pre-war era, with their own representative, [[Ratbat (WFC)|Ratbat]], on the planet's [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

Mini-Cons have been known to form partnerships with larger Transformers. Mini-Cons that choose to undergo this process are known as [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]]s, and usually adopt specialized alternate modes that allow them to attach to, or fit inside, their larger partners. By the time of Cybertron's restoration following the end of the war, such Mini-Cons are subdivided into three groups: Autobot "buzzsaws," Decepticon "torpedoes," and unaligned "Cyclones," who have spherical alternate modes. {{storylink|Knock, Knock!}}

[[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]]'s class of Mini-Cons, the [[Caretaker Mini-Con]]s, appear to have been mass-produced through an unknown process. A batch of these found on an ancient starship acted in a manner not unlike pre-programmed drones. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RID)|Deep Trouble}} Fixit himself reverted to a similarly mindless state after [[Denny Clay]] tampered with his internal workings. {{storylink|The Trouble with Fixit}} As [[Autobot High Council|some]] were to use these Mini-Cons to guard prisoners; the "sentry mode" programming may have been some kind of mandated upgrade. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}}

The starship [[Alchemor (RID)|''Alchemor'']] was overseen by a group of Caretaker who were captured and forced to work as slave labour when the ship crashed. When the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] arrived to take the ship, they joined in overthrowing their captors and eventually returned to Cybertron. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

In the past, Decepticon scientists captured and genetically modified [[Weaponizer (RID)|seven Mini-Cons]] on Megatron's orders, each one given the ability to enhance and possess other Transformers via "Powerlinxing". It was said that anyone who could Powerlinx with all seven would become even stronger than a Prime. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}} {{storylink|Worthy}}

The [[Autobot High Council|Cybertronian High Council]] experimented on the Mini-Cons [[Stuntwing]], [[Trickout]], [[Goldgear]], and [[Hi-Test (RID)|Hi-Test]], erasing their memories, and giving them the ability to upgrade Transformers. They also gained the ability to open [[GroundBridge]]s to the [[Shadowzone (dimension)|Shadowzone]] in order to assist Soundwave in his escape. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 2)}} {{storylink|The Great Divide}} {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}} {{storylink|Railroad Rage}} {{storylink|Collateral Damage}}
[[File:DeusExMachina AMT-Party.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Did you bring hummus?]]

A new form of Mini-Cons was created on [[Earth]] when the planet's energon infused the Transformers' weapons with life and transformation ability. These new robots became known as the [[Arms Micron]]s. {{storylink|Arms Micron Theater}}

{{note|The Arms Micron backstory was told specifically in reference to the "partner" Microns packed in with larger toys, but it is assumed that it holds true for all toys called "Arms Microns" regardless of release type.}}

==Things that are not Mini-Cons==
There have been a number of characters or toys that either have Powerlinx "catcher" ports but are not Mini-Cons, or are recolored from Mini-Con molds (often even having the molded-in faction symbol) but who are nonetheless, according to their associated bios or fiction, not actually Mini-Cons.

==Toys==
[[File:Armada Blackout toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Blackout Powerlinxing with Demolishor]]
:Mini-Con toys debuted as the signature element of the ''Armada'' franchise, bringing the "micro [[play pattern]]" back to ''Transformers'' after many years' absence. Much like ''Armada'' itself, the Mini-Cons proved to be a smash hit with fans and kids, and Hasbro scrambled to include them in the subsequent franchises.

:Most Mini-Cons stand around 2" tall, roughly the same size as their [[Micromaster]] predecessors. Most Mini-Cons are considerably more complex, as well; unlike Micromasters, there's no single dominant transformation scheme. With dozens of molds, Mini-Cons cover a wide range of articulation, size, [[alternate mode]]s, and complexity. Aesthetically, their facial designs tend toward the unorthodox.

:Each Mini-Con includes one or more [[Powerlinx]] ports somewhere on their body, a [[5 mm post|5mm]] round peg-slot that allows them to be attached to any "[[Bulk]]" figure with a corresponding Powerlinx peg. These pegs were standard-issue on the larger, original-mold ''Armada'' toys, where at least one such peg could be used to activate various gimmicks on each large figure. Toys from subsequent franchises have featured Powerlinx pegs only as a static feature. Due to the center-peg of the Powerlinx port, they are incompatible with normal 5mm posts. Later Mini-Cons (starting with the ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' series) would sometimes have 5mm holes without the "signature" center-peg.

{{note|Because of the overwhelming number of Mini-Con redecos—we're talking well into the hundreds—the following list is of unique first-use ''molds'' only.}}

==Notes==
*During the ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' line, the term "Mini-Con" was also the name of a [[size class]] which consisted of three-packs of small toys (which were also individually referred to as "Mini-Cons"). Other size classes from the ''Armada'' line were named "Super-Con", "Max-Con" and "Giga-Con". However, the name "Mini-Con" was the only one actually used in the corresponding fiction. In the toyline, it was ''also'' used for other small figures of the same size that were available as companion figures with the larger toys. Due to its use in fiction, the name was also carried over into subsequent lines such as ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'', and was used as (part of) the name of a price point again in the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline, the "Mini-Con Class" consisting of two-packs. The later ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' toyline returned to the original three-pack style.

Exdimensions

2021-02-26T07:02:15Z

Felipescado: /* Legends of the Microns */

The '''Exdimensions''' (エクスディメンションズ ''Ekusudimenshonzu'') are a group of [[Mini-Con]]s hailing from a world parallel to the [[Aurex 103.10 Alpha|MD World]]. They look and are named identically to their counterparts save their color schemes.

==Toys==
===''Legends of the Microns''===
The Exdimensions are a series of [[redeco]]s of various [[Mini-Con]] Teams released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]. These redecos were more limited than the original color schemes, but were still standard retail-sale items (with one exception).

Of the first eleven Mini-Con Team mold-sets, all but one—the [[Street Speed Mini-Con Team]]—got the Exdimensions treatment. Nine of those teams were released close to the originals; the packaging was almost wholly unchanged; only the cardboard cardfront behind the plastic bubble reflected the change by adding "Exdimensions" to the text and giving the Team a new ID number. The final Team, the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team]], was available only as part of the Toys"R"Us [[exclusive]] "Magna Convoy DX set" multi-pack.

==Notes==
*Fictional information on the Exdimensions can only be found in ''[[Legends of the Microns Year Book 2003]]'', which explains "Exdimensions" as a coined term to indicate residents of another dimension (別次元の住人)—the ''Armada'' Mini-Cons of a "parallel world" to [[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|the cartoon]]. (Think "extraterrestrial".) A more mature story of the [[Autobot]]/[[Decepticon]] conflict aimed at older children and serialized in some form, such as magazines, was planned to feature the Exdimensions, but this was cancelled for various reasons (and likely replaced by ''[[Linkage (comic)|Linkage]]'').
*In Western fandom, "Exdimensions" was misinterpreted as "[[X-Dimension]]", a location in itself. This concept would find fictional life in venues like [[Ask Vector Prime]], which also created new identities for the "[[X-Dimension Mini-Con]]s" (using the Mini-Cons' Japanese names but creating new team names).

Perceptor (G1)/toys

2020-09-13T22:00:16Z

[[File:G1 boxart Perceptor.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]

'''Perceptor''' is the definitive Transformer microscope.

{{TOCclear}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[File:G1toy-Perceptor.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Because it's easier to see small things when you have a giant laser cannon aiming at them.]]
*'''Perceptor''' (Autobot, 1985/1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''39'''
**''Accessories:'' [[concussion weapon|Concussion rifle]], missile launcher, 3 missiles

:Formerly the ''[[Micro Change]]'' MC-20 Micro Scope, ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Perceptor transforms into a functional microscope. His magnification is limited to 14X<ref>Perceptor's [[instructions]].</ref> due to the relatively crude nature of his lens. In [[robot mode]], Perceptor is armed with a red "Concussion Rifle" and a rocket launcher that holds one of three red missile-shaped projectiles. On the original ''Micro Change'' toy, the launcher fired via a spring-loaded mechanism, which was disabled for the Hasbro release of Perceptor, but re-enabled for Takara's version of the figure.

:Perceptor can also be configured into a third "vehicular" mode. In the ''Micro Change'' line, this form was a mobile artillery emplacement that repurposed his scope into a cannon barrel. It had two configurations; it could be angled forward to serve as a tank, or upward to serve as a mortar cannon, and could be manned in both by a ''Microman'' action figure, who sat in the "seat" formed by his chest tray. The ''Transformers'' release of the toy chose to reinterpret the mode as a "mobile laboratory" in its instructions, which depicted it in its angled-upwards "mortar cannon" configuration, but Perceptor's [[The Transformers Universe|''Universe'' profile]] didn't go along with this, and referred to it as an artillery emplacement like it was in ''Micro Change''.

:The Japanese version does ''not'' launch missiles from the scope, despite what some sources say.

:There is an odd variant of this toy: some have a more golden-hued chrome than the normal silver. This is not a very common variant.

:The mold was later [[redeco]]ed to make [[Magnificus (G1)#Toys|Magnificus]].

===Classics===
[[File:Class06-toy Perceptor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"I will blow up your whole city. For science."]]
*'''Perceptor''' (Legends Class, 2006)

:Available as part of the first assortment of ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' ''[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends of Cybertron]]'', Perceptor is a [[redeco]] of the ''Legends of Cybertron'' [[Red Alert (Armada)#LOC|Red Alert]]. He transforms into a BTR-90 armored personnel carrier with a large missile/laser cannon/microscope/telescope.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Onslaught (G1)#Universe (2008)|Onslaught]].

[[File:Universe2008-Perceptorreissue.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Free him from his prison, so that he may think ''outside'' the box!]]
*'''Perceptor''' (2009)
**''Series'': '''G1 Series'''
**''Accessories'': Concussion rifle, missile launcher, 3 missiles

:Hasbro did their own reissue of Perceptor as part of the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]]. The [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] was issued in a box with an opening front cover and advertised as a "Commemorative Edition", much like the earlier [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Soundwave]] and the [[Insecticon (G1)#Universe (2008)|Insecticons]] (which were released at the same time as Perceptor).

:Strangely, the spring of the missile launcher was not weakened like most Generation 1 toys, but were straight-out omitted from the gun. This makes the missiles totally useless, because they don't even clip into the gun. Additionally, the box labels his mobile-laboratory mode as a tank mode while not including his actual tank mode.
{{-}}

===Transformers (2010)===
[[File:TF2010toy-Perceptor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66| Thank you [[Aaron Archer|Aaron]], and your love of Perceptor!]]
*'''Perceptor''' (Deluxe Class, 2011)

:Part of the sixth wave of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]], Perceptor is based on a combination of Generation 1 Perceptor and [[Perceptor (Animated)|''Animated'' Perceptor]]. His [[alternate mode]] is a generic "scientific expedition" vehicle with the front half resembling a modern off-road vehicle similar to a {{w|Land Rover Defender}} or a {{w|Jeep Commander}}. The rear section features treads instead of wheels, making it a half-track vehicle (which aren't actually produced anymore).

[[File:PerceptorHasbroStock.jpg|right|thumb|upright=0.66|Lack of G1 chrome was deemed "not nerdy enough".]]
:The gun on top of his truck mode can also be turned into a small microscope in a nod to his original toy's alt mode. His license plate reads "MR 51409", the exact significance of which is not yet known (though it might have something to do with the possible birth date of [[Bill Rawley]]'s daughter). In addition, Perceptor has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] parts, which are kind of unusual for a mainline Hasbro toy. The chromed dials on his forearms feature bars compatible with [[C joint]] accessories. Like all ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]] figures, Perceptor has a [[rubsign]], which is located behind a translucent door on his chest that can be opened. His hands are compatible with [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s, such as the ones on the guns of his original toy.

:The [[instructions]] incorrectly tell you to position the feet horizontally in vehicle mode, which causes them to press against his knees and prevent the vehicle mode from tabbing correctly in numerous places, when they are meant to be positioned vertically and rest against the trunk. Strangely, the correct position can be seen in the numerous steps depicting the underside of the vehicle, but it immediately switches to the incorrect position on the steps concerning the feet. Additionally, [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts a considerably different Perceptor than the final product. The photos show him having silver [[paint operation]]s on his upper legs and inner forearms, but said parts appear to be made of [[unpaintable plastic]], rather understandably causing the paint operations to be dropped. Additionally, the shoulder laser, chest, and arm knobs sport silver paint rather than chrome.

:According to Hasbro back at [[BotCon 2010]], the toy was planned to eventually be retooled into [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]], using a new head that looks like Perceptor's original toy head.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/botcon-2010-hasbro-designers-panel-170066/</ref> This head mold was used when the mold was [[retool]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Magnificus (G1)#Generations|Magnificus]].

===United===
[[File:Unitedtoy-Perceptor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Maybe my [[C joint]]s will work!]]
*'''Autobot Perceptor''' ([[February 26]], [[2011]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''UN-15'''

:''[[Transformers United|United]]'' Autobot Perceptor features several differences from his Hasbro ''Reveal the Shield'' counterpart, covering his red vehicle panels with metallic red paint, replacing the clear yellow with colorless clear plastic, and adding some additional detailing to his vehicle mode and robot mode. Other notable details are blue translucent paint on the eyes, as well as silver detailing on his chest. As with all ''United'' versions of the 2010 ''Transformers'' toys, Perceptor lacks a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]], replacing it with a [[tampograph]]ed Autobot sigil. Surprisingly, he lacks any of the chrome from the Hasbro release, leaving those corresponding parts either painted silver or unpainted light gray plastic.

*'''Perceptor''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2013)
**''Collection'': '''2'''
**''Bag number'': '''***** 74'''
**''Accessories'': Stand-brick, large rifle

: As part of the second wave of [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] [[Micro-Changer]]s, Perceptor is a Kreon patterned after Generation 1 Perceptor. He can be rebuilt into a microscope.

: This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight [[retool]]ing to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.

*'''Kreon Class of 1984''' (Kreon figure set, 2014)
**''Set number'': '''B0090'''
**''Voted'': Class Brain
**''Accessories'': Large rifle, microscope slide (?)

: This version of Perceptor, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]] (despite the fact that Perceptor did not appear in ''Transformers'' in any capacity until 1985), has much more detailed toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior version, including a masked face. He comes with a clear blue 2x2 tile that one can only assume is supposed to be some kind of microscope slide.

:He was only available in a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the "Kreon Class of 1984". Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there ''was'' no remaining stock after the show.

* '''Perceptor''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
**''Collection'': '''2'''
**''Accessories'': Logo plate, large rifle

:In 2016, Collection 2 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Perceptor's [[tampograph]]s got some color changes, replacing the light gray with shiny silver, and changing his light blue toe paint to black.

:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

===Generations===
*'''Autobot Warriors''' (Multi-pack, 2014)
:''Reveal the Shield'' Perceptor was re-released in a three-pack with ''Universe'' [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Ratchet]] and ''Generations'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|Sergeant Kup]], available from Hasbro Asia and [[TakaraTomy Mall]]. All three Autobots feature new metallic paint decoes.

====Platinum Edition====
[[File:Generations-Platinum-Edition-Autobot-Intel-Ops-Perceptor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Now we can simulate that [[15 Go! Go!]] scene with ever ''greater'' efficiency!]]
*'''Autobot Intel Ops''' (2015)
**''Accessories'': Concussion rifle, missile launcher, 3 missiles, 6 slides, slide holder

:Hasbro again re-released G1 Perceptor in 2015 as part of the [[Transformers: Platinum Edition|''Platinum Edition'']] toyline. He was co-packed with [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Blaster]], [[Eject (G1)#Generations|Eject]], [[Ramhorn (G1)#Generations|Ramhorn]], and [[Steeljaw (G1)#Generations|Steeljaw]] in a box with an opening front cover.

:A new feature included in this set specifically for Perceptor are six 'microscope slides' featuring different pictures, and a slide holder / cage which can hold all six slides. The slides fit snugly onto the mirror of Perceptor's mounting platform, although looking at them through the scope is an underwhelming experience, to say the least.

:Although Perceptor's missile launcher is included, once again the firing mechanism is completely gutted, with the trigger glued into the launcher. However, the missiles are still able to plug into the launcher and are held firmly in place by friction.

:In the United States, this set was officially a [[Target]] exclusive, though it was initially only ever found at a single Target store, otherwise only available via the company's website. It was later revealed that multiple Target stores had kept it in their stockroom and eventually put it out on instant clearance many months later. However, it was also stocked by US-based online retailers [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource, who supposedly obtained it as an import from Asia. It was available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores.

:In the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and officially available via the UK division of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], making this the first official UK release of all the toys contained within! In Spain, it was officially available via the Spanish division of Amazon. In Germany, it was originally available via Bankroft, an online retailer that otherwise specializes in [[Nerf]] blasters and accessories, as part of a special "Fan Edition" arrangement through Hasbro Germany, with the help of several German [[fandom|fan]] sites. Due to low sales, the unsold stock was later sold to Actionfiguren24, a German online retailer that specializes in imported toys, who was able to lower its price for its existing stock of imported Autobot Intel Ops sets as a result.

{{-}}{{anchor|TitansReturn}}
====Titans Return====
[[File:TF-Generations-Titans-Return-Deluxe-Perceptor.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Targeting grid eye not included.]]
*'''Convex & Perceptor''' (Deluxe Class, 2017)
**''Accessories'': Gun, [[Convex]] Titan Master

: Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Perceptor is based on [[Guido Guidi]]'s design for the character first seen in ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron]]'' (complete with sniper rifle), and transforms into a microscope. Perceptor's microscope lens works, and a dial on the scope can be turned to refocus it slightly. Titan Masters can be laid across the tray in robot mode, or pegged into the tray in head mode. Perceptor comes with his Titan Master partner [[Convex]], who transforms into his robot mode head.

: Perceptor is designed to transform into a new interpretation of the third mode of his original toy, with dedicated parts and clips to hold his body in place in the specific angled-upward position of the "motar cannon" configuration, but with his scope pointed forward like the "tank" configuration. It is omitted from his instructions for unknown reasons.

: Perceptor's transformation involves very little to lock anything in place in robot mode, relying on either friction or gravity to hold him together. This leaves him somewhat unstable, and his parts prone to shifting out of place when attempting to move his limbs. The large size of his scope also greatly restricts his head articulation.

: As with other ''Titans Return'' toys, Perceptor can accommodate any Titan Master figure in both robot and vehicle mode, though ''unlike'' most other figures in the line, Perceptor has no dedicated cockpit to hold them in. This means Titan Masters can really only lay in his tray in microscope mode, or attach to him via the small pegs sculpted onto the sides of his altmodes. There does appear to be a section sculpted specifically to hold a Titan Master's feet under the small flip-up silver panel on his chest that would allow them to "man" his third mode... except rather than sitting in it, they have to ''kneel'' with their knees locking into the groove.

: Some instructions erroneously spelled his name "''Pre''ceptor".

**''Accessories:'' Gun, Headmaster, [[Ramhorn (G1)#Legends|Amhorn]]

:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Perceptor is a redeco of his ''Titans Return'' Deluxe Class toy with some minor differences, such as red shoulders and elbows and an Autobot insignia on his chest instead of stomach, and also lacking the toy-style [[tampograph]]s on his legs. His Headmaster, redecoed from Convex, features detailed paint operations to resemble Perceptor himself and has blue instead of yellow eyes in head mode. Perceptor comes with [[Ramhorn (G1)#Legends|Ramhorn]], who transforms into a weapon he can wield.

===Decoy===
[[File:Decoy Perceptor.jpg|upright=1|thumb|Red and rubbery with science!]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (Decoy multi-pack, 1985)

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

*'''Perceptor''' (Decoy, 1987)
**''Decoy number'': 30

: The Perceptor 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 "checklist" number. 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)|Technobot]]s.

===Super Collection Figure===
[[File:SCF Perceptor.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Perceptor''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''7'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' Perceptor is a non-transforming three-inch tall figure, released [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] in the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]]''-themed "Act 7" of the line (which, given Perceptor had an [[Ginrai Dies!!|extended cameo]] in the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (cartoon)|''Victory'' cartoon]], makes sense). He came in both full color and painted-pewter versions, each packed one per case of twelve. Bizarrely, the color version has a red left hand, which is even reflected in the packaging photography.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, 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. On top of that, the short peg for his shoulder-mounted microscope assembly needs to be shaved down slightly to fit into the extremely shallow hole on his shoulder.

: The pewter version of Perceptor was packed with the [[Star Saber (Victory)#Super Collection Figure|Victory Saber]] rifle. This part could also be in either full color or pewter, packed at a ratio of eight color parts to two pewters.

===Heroes of Cybertron===
[[File:HOC Perceptor.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Perceptor''' (2003)

: Perceptor was released in the fourth wave of the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'', casting the ''Super Collection Figure'' mold in clear blue plastic painted over, leaving the eyes and back of the head unpainted to attempt a [[light-piping]] gimmick. This release also correctly colors his left hand dark gray. There is still a slight issue with the incredibly shallow peg/hole combo that holds his shoulder-scope on, so some slight paint-shaving might be needed to keep it in place.

: He was released on a separate card instead of a blindpacked box, and came with the head and sword of the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] build-a-figurine.

**''Series'': '''5'''

: Part of the fifth assortment of ''[[Tiny Titans]]'' [[blindpacking|blindpacks]], this version of Perceptor is a very small, soft-plastic figure of him in robot mode, kneeling with a sniper rifle, recalling his [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] incarnation.

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

{{disambig3|Arcee}}
{{factions|autobotfilm|NEST|hofsilver}}

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Arceemovie.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|She's got legs, she knows how to use them. Temporarily, anyway.]]
Though small compared to many of her peers and adversaries, '''Arcee''' compensates with speed and aggressive maneuvers, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots around. Moreover, Arcee is a born hunter. She honed her speed hunting [[turbofox]]es with other speedsters, challenging herself to get as close as possible before tagging them with her bow. She's a crack shot with said crossbow weapon, and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] has trained her to use her speed to her advantage in battle, striking suddenly and swiftly and then vanishing away again as fast as she appeared. She is the sister of [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]].

The events at [[Tyger Pax]] created a nagging doubt in Arcee about her abilities. She carries some guilt about [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s injuries, and part of what drives her is the desire to prove herself, not only in the optics of her friends and comrades, but most importantly in her own. She also carries a standing feud with [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] for [[The Thrill of the Hunt|unknown reasons]].<ref name="battlebio">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Arcee Battle Bio]</ref>

For a time, she used experimental technology that allowed her mind to control ''three'' bodies at once! When two of these bodies were destroyed, she stayed out of sight to adjust to the return to single-body status.<ref>Hasbro's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/characters/arcee Vector Sigma: Arcee profile]</ref>

[[File:Arcee-ROTFshoot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Why couldn't she be the other kind of motormaid, with the motorcycle part on top and the lady part on the bottom?"]]

{{note|The film goes into no detail on whether or not Arcee is one entity, or three separate beings. See [[#Notes|Notes]] at the bottom of this article for a thorough dissection; for the purposes of this section, all three bike-bots are collectively referred to as "Arcee".}}

Arcee was held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, Arcee pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in her way, but ultimately, none of her three components were able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and he quickly put the Decepticon down.

[[File:Arcee-ROTFthreebikes.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|The [[Chromia (ROTF)|blue one]] likes to sit next to [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] for [[transformer romance|some reason]].]]

While not on missions, Arcee was parked with the other Autobots in their hangar at [[Diego Garcia]]. It was here that the Autobots received word from the [[President of the United States]], via [[Theodore Galloway|Director Galloway]], that the White House was concerned that the Autobots' living on Earth was the reason for the Decepticon activity, and that if need be, they would ask the Autobots to leave. Later, after Optimus Prime died in battle and [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia.
[[File:ROTF Arcee shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Michael Bay displays his usual attitude towards women.]]
NEST had a different idea, and instead shipped Arcee and the other Autobots to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, Sam and Mikaela attempted to make their way through the bombed-out Egyptian town that had become the battlefield. Arcee arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to escort them through the warzone, but unfortunately, two of her bodies were shot down by enemy forces, with only the blue component remaining operational when last seen. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Arcee’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]''; the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]'' and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; and the storybook "[[The Last Prime]]".}}

Arcee was among the Autobots fending off a wave of Decepticon forces led by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], where Arcee tried to contact the capital of the last remaining Autobot city for reinforcements only to fail in establishing a connection. She was eventually ordered to retreat by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. Tasked with finding other Autobots scattered throughout the galaxy and rendezvous on [[Earth]], they left Cybertron in various escape pods. {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Foudnation2 ArceeChromiaElita.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Arcee lived in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] with her sister Chromia, while their eldest sibling, Elita-One, became a follower of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Following Sentinel's successful unification of the warring tribes of Cybertron, Arcee and Chromia came to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to hear his speech for the future. It was announced that the planet would be governed by a [[Science Division]] headed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and a [[Defense Force]] led by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]; while Chromia elected to join the latter, Arcee, intrigued at the prospect of investigating the legacy of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], signed up with Optimus's team. The Science Division began an archaeological excavation of the area around [[Simfur]], uncovering a strange object that they believed to be connected to the Dynasty. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

[[File:Defiance1 Arcee vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"I transform into a vacuum cleaner!"]]

Some time later, while Optimus was showing Megatron around their work, Arcee's team discovered a mysterious relic with a [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] etched into it. She led her superiors to the ancient relic and watched as Megatron and Optimus began to argue when the former demanded the relic be relocated to his private quarters, with Optimus relenting due to a sudden alien attack. Arcee assisted with its evacuation from the dig site. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

After the attack, Arcee tried to save the life of one of the aliens, but was unsuccessful. She and [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] moved the bodies to [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s lab, where they discovered that the beings were similar in structure to the Cybertronians, only lacking the ability to [[transformation|transform]]. Before they could speculate further about the common ancestry of the two races, [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]] arrived with orders from Optimus to assemble at the Simfur excavation site for a meeting. There, Arcee and the other scientists learned of Protector Megatron's demand for war and Optimus's thoughts on the issue. After most of the scientists agreed to follow Optimus, they travelled to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to watch Megatron deliver his saber-rattling war rally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

[[File:Foundation4Arceechromiaknockeoutbymegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|That's not how you treat 2 ladies, Megatron.]]

Ratchet, Arcee and Elita-One returned to the lab to analyze the other relic fragments recovered from the Simfur excavation, while Optimus, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] broke into Megatron's quarters to examine the intact relic. Before Optimus could explain to Ratchet the strange condition of the artifact, Arcee reported finding a symbol that appeared in the same place on all the different fragments: the same symbol that was on Optimus's head. Ratchet theorised that the legend of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] was true, and that Optimus was somehow connected to all of this. Later, at the dig site near [[Burthov]], Arcee, Ratchet and Optimus were arrested by Prowl's security forces on orders from Megatron for treason. What they didn't know was they were all being led into a trap, and the assassins Megatron sent would only take Optimus alive. After [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl's]] initial attack, Optimus ordered the group to escape to Burthov while he took care of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and his soldiers. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}{{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

Arcee was part of the team who captured the disenchanted soldier [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and brought him before Optimus Prime. Ironhide pledged allegiance to Prime and brought news of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', a massive starship that Megatron was building. While observing its construction and taking images of the ship, Arcee remarked that she had never seen its like before. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} From [[Tyger Pax]], she witnessed the departure of the ''Nemesis'' with the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

[[File:MoviePrequel1 Arcee Bumblebee.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"Can I say something?" "Whatever it is, now is not the right time!"]]

During the subsequent civil war, Arcee defended civilians who were being targeted by Megatron's Decepticons for refusing to join in the war against Optimus Prime's Autobots. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As the war raged on, Sentinel invented a "[[pillar|torch]]" that he promised would end the war, which required the [[AllSpark]] to be activated. Arcee and Chromia flanked Ironhide at the lead of the assault on Simfur Temple. As the battle raged, Arcee and Chromia were swatted aside by Megatron, but Optimus attacked, allowing Elita to activate the torch and deliver it to Sentinel. Sentinel arrived in the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], but Starscream blew up the ship. Ironhide picked up Arcee and Chromia as the Autobots retreated. However, the assault had weakened Decepticon morale and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] commanded another [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]] for Arcee and Chromia to steal the AllSpark itself! {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Later, Arcee fought the Decepticons during an attempt to reclaim the Cube at Tyger Pax. However, Arcee and the rest of those under Bumblebee's command didn't know the true purpose of their battle: they were a diversion to keep Megatron busy while other Autobots readied the AllSpark for launch from Cybertron. She was captured and interrogated by the Decepticons but survived the ordeal. She recounted to their Autobot rescuers Bumblebee's heroics in delaying Megatron, which prevented the Decepticon from intercepting the wormhole-bound AllSpark. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

[[File:ReignofStarscream4 Arcee.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb]]

Following the Autobots' victory in Mission City, which culminated in the death of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the destruction of the AllSpark on [[Earth]], Arcee was in command of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] and led [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] and others in an attack on [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's ship]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} While her team made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones the Decepticons sent against them, Arcee killed the Decepticon sniper [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] before he could take out [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. Her teammates were unprepared for the arrival of [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], however, and he quickly slew [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] and wounded [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]]. Remembering her failure at Tyger Pax, Arcee leapt into action, and soon she and Cliffjumper had Thundercracker at their mercy. The arrival of Starscream changed that, as he killed Smokescreen and Air Raid and badly damaged Cliffjumper. As she attempted to pull the last surviving member of her team to safety, Arcee was kicked aside by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

However, Arcee recovered an instant later. The Decepticon starship was already taking off, but she jumped and grabbed onto a piece of landing gear, holding on tight... through the [[space bridge]]. Wow. Later, she made her way back to an Autobot facility, where she unexpectedly met Clocker and [[Crosshairs (Movie)|Crosshairs]]. Along with a large force of Autobots, the three moved in on the Simfur temple, where Starscream was using captured Autobots for a strange project of his. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

She split her troops into two forces: One would attack the city of Trypticon as a diversion, while the other moved in on Simfur. Arcee and her team could only watch helplessly as Starscream drained the life out of the Autobot prisoners strapped onto the [[replica AllSpark]], despite her sister Elita-One's pleas for mercy. An opportunity to cause havoc presented itself when [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]'s forces attempted a coup. Arcee lined up her sights on the generator holding the life energy of the deceased prisoners, dedicated the shot to Elita, and destroyed it, annihilating the Cube and sending the Decepticons into disarray. Arcee's team fought their way through the disorganised Decepticons, linked up with [[Wingblade]]'s team, and rolled out just as the crippled starship came crashing down on the city. With the destruction of the capitol and the defeat of a significant portion of the Decepticon drone army, Arcee considered this to be the turning point of the war, but as long as Starscream was alive, he was a threat that she had to track down. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-Arceeprotoforms.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|The best part of waking up is ... still being in your own body.]]

Some time later, a ship carrying Arcee and her crew was shot down over an unidentified planet, and when Arcee managed to escape the wreckage, she saw that the culprit was her old nemesis, Thundercracker. She blacked out, and an indeterminate amount of time later, she awoke on an operating table—or rather, next to her old body on an operating table. Her [[spark]] had been transplanted into a new body by the Decepticon mad scientist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], as part of a twisted plan to create a new breed of tripartate soldier by using her spark to reignite those of her deceased sisters, Elita-One and Chromia. Flatline had not considered Arcee's strong will, however, and her original programming persisted. She broke free and escaped with two of Flatline's other experiment victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], but was surprised to learn that Flatline's experiment had worked: her sisters lived again in two bodies similar to her own new form, but now, they were connected at the spark, sharing the thoughts, feelings and memories of one another, thinking with one mind yet still retaining a degree of autonomy and recollection of their previous selves. [[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|WASSSS A MAAANNN (now three man)]] The united sisters defeated Flatline, and with the Twins, headed for the exit, but Thundercracker and some Decepticon drones blocked them. Thundercracker laughed, since Arcee hadn't fared too well the last time they tangled, but... that was then. Thundercracker was easily bested by the new and improved Arcee, and escaped while Flatline's headquarters detonated by remote. Arcee wondered whether her weird new existence was a mistake, or if she was merely destined for greater things. Regardless, she refused to become bent on revenge against Thundercracker for the deaths of her crew, so she and the Twins made plans to join the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, Arcee and her sisters, along with [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While 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}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

Arcee participated in the [[Shanghai]] battle. When [[The Twins]] botched their chase of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], the Arcee motorcycles gave chase before [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] finished the job. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 1|Revenge of the Fallen #1}} When the Autobots were on the move to the US East Coast investigating on multiple detected Decepticon contacts, at least one of the Arcee bikes was seen alongside [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Later, while Optimus was fighting [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] in the forest, at least two Arcee bikes were approaching the battle site alongside [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. An Arcee robot was also seen with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and Ironhide when the latter was firing at Starscream and Megatron who were fleeing from the site. The Arcee robot was the first one to notice Optimus Prime's severe damage before Ratchet pronounced him "nearly gone". {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 2|Revenge of the Fallen #2}} All three Arcee robots were with the other Autobots when they were facing the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] in the desert of Egypt. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

[[File:TFSpaceCase-SpaceCasehitsArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
Sometime later after [[Operation: Firestorm]], Arcee joined Bumblebee and Sam for a picnic, which was cut short when they went to investigate an energy signal that had appeared after an earthquake. The trio proceeded deep underground and, just as Arcee was admonishing Sam to be careful, Space Case ambushed them. Despite their numeric superiority, the Autobots had trouble with their enemy because they were afraid firing weapons might cause their unstable surroundings to collapse. Space Case, angry at what he perceived as persecution from the Autobots, activated his plasma afterburners and rocketed out of the cave, triggering the feared cave-in and burying Sam and the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Space Case}} Arcee managed to send out a distress signal, to which Ratchet responded. The medic fended off Space Case and managed to free Arcee from a pile of rubble, allowing her to go after Space Case a fleeing Space Case. {{storylink|Transformers: Ratchet}} The chase took them towards a densely populated city. Despite Space Case's engine damage, he still had a significant speed advantage over Arcee. As she paused to consider her options, she received a holographic communication from Ratchet. The Autobot medic reported that Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee had survived their encounter with Space Case with no serious injuries, and suggested that Arcee meet back up with them. Arcee cut him off abruptly, inwardly observing that while Ratchet thought she continued to chase Space Case out of a misplaced sense of pride, that's not really what she was doing at all. Arcee then caught up with Space Case. Panicking, Space Case threw Arcee through a storefront and took to the air in another attempt to escape. Arcee, determined not to let anything keep her down, sped after Space Case, used a building to ramp up to his altitude, and destroyed his other engine. Space Case went plummeting into the distance, headed for the waterfront. As he vanished from sight, he promised to be back. Arcee knew she'd be ready for his eventual return. {{storylink|Transformers: Arcee}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ArceeInjured.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
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, Arcee and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's incredulity about the Autobots "sending their women" to do their fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The battle aggravated the wounds Arcee had taken in Egypt the previous year, however, and she was brought back to Diego Garcia for medical attention courtesy of Ratchet. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

After Sam Witwicky contacted Optimus Prime as Philadelphia was being attacked by Decepticons, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left out of the fight due to Arcee's wounds. Arcee wanted to go despite Chromia's attempt to let her stay behind while her two sisters went. In the end, Optimus decided to allow her to go with Chromia and Elita-1. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

[[File:RisingStorm 3 Arcee, Ravage and Ratbat.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Ravage and Ratbat teach you how to get dates]]

She and her sisters went to New York thinking they would get information on Starscream selling his weapons to humans, but instead they found Astrotrain and a monster. And they also found out that Shockwave was on earth, so they tried to inform Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communication and sent his minions after the girls. Arcee and Chromia told Elita-1 to find Optimus. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

As Ravage was attacking her. Arcee began to feel the pain of her wounds (and Chromia began to feel them too), later Elita-1 died and Arcee and Chromia felt her death. Despite Arcee's attempts to stop her, Chromia activated some bombs they brought with them (which possibly killed Soundwave's minions). Arcee and Chromia survived the explosion. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Originally, Arcee didn't serve either faction, working alone to solve injustices in her own way. [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] personally decided to make an example of her, and only an Autobot extraction team led by [[Kup (Movie)|Kup]] saved her life. This debt saw her join the Autobots. She's chimerical in nature and is constantly changing her [[Alternate mode|altmode]] in an effort to go as fast as possible (maybe that's why her [[robot mode]] always looks different!). She [[Arcee (G1)|previously had a hover-car form]], but on Earth takes a modified bike mode. Once you earn her trust, she's [[Rick Astley|never going to let you down]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Arcee bio}}

During the AllSpark launch, she led the six-bot team that drew Megatron's attention to Tyger Pax. And Optimus only told ''Bumblebee'' that's what their mission was! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|#2's reprint of Movie Prelude}}

[[File:Titan5 Sidewayssideswipes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|I'm such good friends that I all dress alike!]]

Arcee had been on Earth for some time before [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] arrived. When using all three of her bodies, she refers to her collective self as "we". Back then, she was keeping her pink paint job!

She went on to assist Optimus Prime in a [[NEST]] mission in [[Australia]], and so was in a perfect position to capture the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Pursuing him in bike(s) mode, she found it near impossible to blow out his tyres and kept getting sideswiped by him during the pursuit. When a stunned Optimus ordered her to stay on the Decepticon's tail, she responded that the Decepticon's alt mode was far better suited for the terrain... inspiring Optimus to ''blow up'' that terrain.
[[File:Titan2-8 dronesurrender.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Geez, this just getting ''confusing''.]]
With Sideways stunned and taking robot form, Arcee sent one bike in to take him down but almost got hit before human military helicopters arrived to back her up. The mission over, she and Optimus took their prisoner back to [[Diego Garcia]], with Arcee escorting him to a cell. But surprise, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] was waiting to free him! She was quickly stunned and unable to stop the Decepticons escaping. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

She later decided it'd be fun to switch back to her older, single-form body! Her old body got a good workout when she was part of the strike team on the Decepticon's [[Mars (planet)|Phobos]] base. After a brief but violent battle, the [[Purple generic drone|drone hordes]] surrendered to her and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

====Alternate timeline====
[[File:Titan13 Arcee.jpg|thumb|"I don't ''want'' to look retro!!"]]
In an [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma|alternate timeline]] where the Decepticons won the battle of [[Mission City]], Arcee was a member of a small group of reinforcements summoned to Earth by the remaining Autobots on the planet. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to await contact from Earth, they were attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], but the quick-thinking Arcee took command and rallied the troops. When this still failed to work, she ordered them to Earth (following [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm's]] initiative) and their prearranged targets. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Joining up with the Earth-bound Autobots, Arcee refused to accept defeat, and helped [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]] defend [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] while he destroyed the AllSpark, foiling the Decepticons' plan to cyberform Earth using its power. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

Arcee was left bewildered by the idea that Humanity would not trust and love the Autobots, and Optimus explained to her that, from a human point of view, all the Transformers are alien horrors fighting on their planet. Following this, she guarded the [[Savannah]], [[Georgia]] shelter and was caught in an ambush staged by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

[[File:Titan22 Arcee.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|"''That's'' better!"]]

Later, after serving with Bumblebee in protecting an Alaskan pipeline, among other engagements to protect the American infrastructure, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} Arcee was part of Ironhide's team in retrieving [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from Cybertron, which ran afoul of [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} She acted as Bumblebee's distraction, drawing [[Storm Surge (Movie)|Storm Surge]] and [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] away, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}} and doubled back to regroup with Ironhide (and pull him out of rubble) when [[Unicron]] arrived. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} Later, she got Optimus Prime up to speed on the situation. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Following the Decepticon re-conquest of Savannah, Arcee was part of the raid to rescue [[Mikaela Banes]]. She got off one bit of bravado about how hitting things was her kind of shindig before [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] hit ''her''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

When the Autobots launched their final strike, Arcee was part of the spearhead team hitting the [[Decepticon Heartland]]. She started off the 'tagging' of Decepticons to teleport them away from Earth, getting [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] in the back and looking very happy about it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

{{Note|Arcee was also the host of a "Lonely Hearts" letter column in the comic's [[letters page]]. Really!}}

===Toy bios===
Arcee was well trained by Ironhide, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots. She believes without question that the Decepticons must be stopped at all costs. {{storylink|#Scout Class toys|Arcee (Target Exclusive)}}

Arcee was on [[Earth]] for a short time at the beginning of the conflict there, presumably arriving shortly after Bumblebee in the early part of the 21st Century. {{storylink|#2007dlx|Arcee's bio}} When the situation on Earth began to ramp up into out-and-out combat, she was reassigned to the [[Charii system]], where her stealth skills would be of more use fighting against a Decepticon splinter cell working on a star-breaking weapon. {{storylink|#Robovision|Arcee's Robovision bio}} She nevertheless jumped at the chance to get back on Earth and was soon handed control of her own strike team, made up of robots similar to her in attitude and design. Arcee stalked Decepticons and killed them on the quiet. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 2|Arcee (ROTF)}}

In 2010, she had to fight the dread [[Tailwhip]] and was trapped in his vortex! Arcee's only chance was to shoot out the blades of the evil robot above her.{{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 3|Rotorwash Rumble}}

In later years, she started following the tradition of inscribing Cybertronian words on your chassis: while she wasn't superstitious, the ''Decepticons'' sure were! It also gave her a nice confidence boost. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 4|Arcee (2011 Target exclusive)}}

*'''Arcee''' (Target exclusive Scout Class, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Launcher, missile, scope, 2 tailpipes, "Energon" star

: Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]], replacing her pinks and most of her whites and blacks with blue, and her translucent red with smoky brown plastic. She transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle. Unusually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do. Instead, her Energon Bow mounts on a peg on either arm, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey "arrow" missile.

:Arcee (and the rest of the Scout wave) were [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores, where they were all part of a [[Robo-Vision]] promotion. Arcee came with a Robo-Vision Decoder which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code ("BULLSEYE") printed on her cardback. Starting [[June 2]], 2007, Target's website allowed users to input those codes to access exclusive content, a concept similar to the online [[Cyber Planet Key]] info from the [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]].

: This mold also was used to make ''Superlink'' Ariel Paradron Type, as well as the [[BotCon 2005]] "[[Descent into Evil]]" set's [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]], [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]], and the fellow Target-exclusive [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|movieverse]] [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], which was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Arcee (SG)|Arcee]].

*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Launcher, missile

: Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Arcee has references [[tampograph]]ed on her [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], such as her motorcycle's fictional model name, "RC 1100" (Get it? "RC" as in "Arcee"), and her Massachusetts [[license plate]] marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.

: Arcee's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted, which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm in [[robot mode]] is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.

: Undocumented in the instructions, the two shoulder-mounted half-wheels contain a small niche on the edge of the tires. By folding the wheels down with the hubcaps pointing towards the chest and turning the tires towards the shoulders, one can feel the wheels gently click into place via the tire niches and hidden tabs in the shoulders, allowing the wheels to remain in place and more closely resemble the figure as pictured on its packaging.

: As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike; unfortunately, it's mounted so low that she will fall in the opposite direction if it is fully extended.

:Legends Arcee is a pink and black motorcycle that transforms into a pink and black robot. Black chunks are strategically placed on her two wheels so she can stand up in robot mode. There's an odd jointed piece above her rear wheel that has a [[Powerlinx]]-like [[5 mm post|hardpoint]] and a peg hole on the other side; since the entire piece serves no function, it may have been designed with a combined form similar to the Deluxes in mind.

*'''Chromia''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cycle cannons

:[[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] converts from a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} to... a unicycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. There is also a piece on the bottom of the vehicle mode (or back of the robot mode) that folds out, but there is no indication in the instructions as to what this piece is for. However, the piece can slide into a similar piece in the later Arcee toy, starting the supposed combined mode.

:While the instructions depict the motorcycle seat remaining flat so that it ends up covering the bottom wheel, the robot mode more closely resembles the movie design if the seat is folded in and locked into a slot on the motorcycle's bottom, as shown on the back of the packaging. The packaging photo also shows Chromia's front wheel resting behind the robot's shoulders, while the instructions leave it above her head. Furthermore, while it is not mentioned either in the instructions or shown on the box, the stand can be attached backwards and rotated with the guns facing up so that it acts as a prop for the toy, allowing the wheel to actually touch the ground, and letting the toy look from the front like it is unsupported. In addition, the stand can also be attached to right arm as an inordinately large handgun by sliding the two pegs inside the gun into two slots on the inside of the arm.

:The stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it.

:Though the instructions do not explain it, the back of the blister card mentions she has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in her left arm. While it isn't quite the "spinning gears" the card refers to, swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun.

:Deluxe class ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Arcee converts from a {{w|Ducati 848}} to a robot mode that can look quite awkward if not properly aligned. The figure has a sidecar which can become a Dual Sniper Pistol<ref name="battlebio"/> or a display stand. In robot mode, she is equipped with a small cannon on her right wrist that can deploy a spring-loaded energy blade. Small [[Cyberglyphics]] inscriptions are molded onto the surface of the blade.

:Her [[Mech Alive]] feature is located not in her elbow, as the packaging would suggest, but instead in her chest; tilting her neck up and down causes a pair of exposed gears to turn.

[[File:ROTF-toy FAB CyberPursuitArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Cyber Pursuit Arcee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Exhaust pipes/missile

:A simplified version of her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy, [[Fast Action Battlers]] Arcee is targeted at the age 5 and under demographic, being a simplified version of her Deluxe-Class toy and having more limited articulation (that's better than most Fast Action Battlers toys). This version does away with the sidecar/stand in favor of a built-in, fully retractable stand, as well as featuring a kickstand and free spinning wheels. Her main gimmick is the ability to fire her dual exhaust pipes as a single missile in both robot and vehicle mode. She features fully working suspension, but due to the transformation locking both wheels in place, it is not available in vehicle mode.

:Despite being intended for a sub-line that focuses on fast and fairly easy transformations, the design of the shoulder joints and the nature of the transformation can make transforming from robot to vehicle mode frustrating. Ironic.

: This figure, which is somewhere in between [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends]] and [[size class|Scout Class]] size, has a motorcycle mode that is slightly similar to Arcee's Ducati 848, with some elements resembling the Aprilia RS125 Mikaela is riding at one point in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|movie]], and some elements entirely made up. The robot mode, meanwhile, is clearly that of the blue motorcycle, [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]. Hasbro explained in their monthly Q&A that it ''is'' meant to resemble Mikaela's bike, and they called it "Arcee" so kids wouldn't be confused by two separate red/pink bikes.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65426 Hasbro December 09 Q&A, AllSpark]</ref> Also, the face, which is mostly unpainted save for a few small details, doesn't resemble ROTF Arcee's movie design at all. In fact, the head design bears some resemblance to [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]].

: Despite being larger than a Legends Class figure, Arcee features less [[articulation]] than most of them. While her right elbow features a swivel joint, the left arm is sculpted in one piece, and the elbow fixed in a permanent position.

: This mold was later redecoed into ''Dark of the Moon'' Human Alliance [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]].

*'''[[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] / Chromia / [[Seymour Simmons]]''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

: Coming with Mudflap and Seymour Simmons, Human Alliance Chromia is, you guessed it, a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. Simmons can ride her in her vehicle mode as well.

: Aside from the colour scheme, this "Chromia" is clearly meant to be Arcee as it has the main component's robot mode, and its vehicle mode is closer to Arcee's than either the motorcycle included with Human Alliance Skids or the Deluxe Chromia. Its higher level of movie-accuracy includes a much more accurate head sculpt, and although its left arm is also cast in one piece, the extra articulation in the shoulders, waist and hips makes the figure more posable than the other HA motorcycle.

: The transformation is surprisingly complex and fiddly for a figure this size, which is basically a non-autotransforming version of the larger FAB. In robot mode the figure has a piece than the wheels can stand on to support them, or be rotated behind to prop the figure up with some care. The kickstand is too short to hold the bike upright in vehicle mode, although this is easily fixed by gluing a small piece of black plastic to its base to lengthen it. She suffers from balance issues in robot mode as well, since her robot-mode stand ends up placed more towards her left side instead of at the center, meaning she tends to fall to her right side often.

: She also comes packaged incompletely transformed, with her (difficult to open) right hand left untransformed as the motorbike's seat. Good luck getting ''that'' out.

*'''Elita-1''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cannons

:Elita-1 is a black, white and metallic pink [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank threads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her license plate has ''3L 174'' written on it as an stylish way of spelling her own name. [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

:Originating from [[TakaraTomy]], this ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe class Arcee is a redeco and minor retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Chromia, adding two [[5 mm post]] hole MechTech ports on her sculpted engine, which end up on her arms in robot mode. She comes with a retool of [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon, replacing the chainsaw with a new Sonic Blade sword.

:Unlike the official image(left),the figure uses white plastic on more pieces, specially in the arms, noticeable in both modes.

:Arcee comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of her MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:A redeco of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee figure, this version is mostly cast in smoky clear pink plastic, with her sidecar being white this time. Liberally scattered across her body are opaque pink [[Cyberglyphics]]. The packaging callouts return to falsely indicating that her left elbow contains moving gears.

:As with the other [[Target]] [[exclusive]] "Cyberglyph" redecos ([[Space Case (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Space Case]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Cyberglyph|Bumblebee]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Autobot Jazz]]), she comes with a comic book by [[IDW Publishing]], ''[[Transformers: Arcee]]''.

: She was also made available in Canada as a Zellers exclusive, in New Zealand as a Farmers exclusive (both in English-only US-style packaging minus the "only at Target" sticker), in the United Kingdom as a Tesco exclusive, and in Germany as a Müller exclusive (both in typical [[multilingual packaging|multilingual European packaging]] including a multilingual comic).

:At both [[BotCon 2011]] and [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, the Hasbro slide presentation referred to this figure as Elita-1. Alrighty then.

:This mold Elita-1 is redecoed from actually uses Chromia's robot design (similarly to Elita-1's Deluxe-class toy) despite originally being named and colored like Arcee, meaning that the purple bike is a recolor of the red bike who somehow had the blue bike's body. Confused yet?

:Released in series 5 of [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Arcee is a new mold based off of her appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', turning into a pink motorcycle. For reasons unknown, Arcee came without instructions... at least, no samples of her ''with'' instructions have been reported, but that's a small sample size because...

:...Series 5 of ''Movie Edition'' Tiny Turbo Changers only barely made it to retail. Very few retailers and virtually no online outlets offered this Series, and the few places they could be found, like [[Target]], apparently got very very few of them.

**''Accessories'': 3 wheel stands, cannon, sword, shoulderpad, "[[Shanghai]] Pursuit" backdrop

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Arcee is a brand-new Legion Class-sized mold accurate to her appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', transforming into a pink Ducati 848 sportbike unlike her previous toys, which were generally colored bright red. She comes packaged with new molds of [[Chromia (ROTF)#Studio Series|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)#Studio Series|Elita-1]] in a three-pack priced at the standard Deluxe Class price value, making the three the smallest toys in the ''Studio Series'' line to date. The set includes three unique stands for each sister's bottom wheels, helping them stay upright, and a cardboard backdrop display of their pursuit of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] in Shanghai streets.

:[[File:Studio_Series_52_Arcee_combiner.JPG|upright=0.85|thumb|left]]
:Though not included in the toys' instructions, the three sisters combine into a kind of motorbike-centaur form, as originally proposed for (but cut from) the movie (see "Notes," below). The combined form is assembled using special tabs on Elita and Chromia's stands to link the figures together, and its appearance is completed with three accessories: a pink cannon, a blue sword, and blue shoulder pad, which all attach to Arcee. Arcee can also wear the parts while in her individual robot mode, but neither they nor the sisters' stands store anywhere in vehicle mode.

:Like the rest of the figures in the same wave, Arcee first saw release in some Toys"R"Us shops in Malaysia and independent stores in Hong Kong.

==Notes==
[[File:Movie scale chart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|In the time before time...]]
===Single Arcee===
*Arcee was originally going to be a member of the live-action movie's Autobot cast, but was later replaced by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. According to screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]], they would have needed to explain the point behind female robots, which there wasn't any time for in the movie.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2007/07/02/exclusive-interview-robert-orci?page=3 Roberto Orci explaining the reasons for Arcee's removal from the script in an interview with IGN.]</ref> Oddly enough, there was no attempt to do so in ROTF.
*In another interview, Alex Kurtzman cited "scale issues" as an additional reason for dropping Arcee; allegedly, Michael Bay simply considered her too small as compared to the rest of the Autobots.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070714214451/http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies/transformersmovie/005082421.cfm?page=1 Wizard interview with Kurtzman and Orci]</ref>
*As part of [[BotCon 2007]]'s Hasbro tour, fans viewed "Robot Scale Chart v03", dated 11.22.05, which showed Arcee's height as 9' (2.7m). However, all of the designs on this chart were very early and later heavily revised (though [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] was revised far less than the others).
*It's commonly assumed that Arcee's big part in the movie would have been the scene in which [[William Lennox]] starts his solo assault on [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] using an abandoned motorcycle. However, the screenwriters rejected that notion, stating that this scene wasn't written until ''after'' Arcee had already been dropped from the script—but if she ''had'' remained in the movie, that scene ''would'' have probably featured her as the motorcycle.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/2288318-post539.html Orci once again clearing up the story between Arcee and the motorcycle Lennox uses during the final battle]</ref>
*Arcee came ''this'' close to being killed off in ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', as the trade states that two revisions of the plot had her dying.
[[File:BB-Arcee-model.jpg|thumb|Ok, her legs were too skinny before, but now we're exaggerating..]]
*Arcee's Cybertronian design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily inspired by her Generation 1 [[Arcee (G1)|namesake]].

===Arcee triplets===
[[File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|So apparently Chromia and Elita-1 were green and silver at some point? Okay.]]
*It's not especially clear whether ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee is one consciousness controlling three bodies, or three separate individuals. Writer [[Roberto Orci]] explained that she was written as a singular entity, but that [[Michael Bay]] "kept them as individuals".<ref>[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2009/07/ask-orci-final-edition.html Roberto Orci answers questions on the Transformers Live blogspot, July 13, 2009.]</ref> If this was Bay's intention, it does not particularly come across in the movie (as the trio doesn't really ''do'' anything), beyond perhaps Arcee referring to her components in the plural form in one instance. The novelization of the film adheres to the script's intent, describing Arcee as a "[[tripartite Cybertronian]]", while the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline chose instead to identify Arcee as only ''one'' of the bikes (the pink/red one), and characterize the other two as the separate characters [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]], who were characterised as Arcee's sisters.
**IDW Publishing's ''[[Transformers: Tales of the Fallen|Tales of the Fallen]]'' mini-series, complimented a few years later by ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm|Rising Storm]]'', goes to some lengths to marry the two concepts, depicting Arcee, Elita-1 and Chromia as a trio of robots animated by one spark, sharing thoughts and feelings but still possessing some degree of autonomy from one another.
**[[Titan Books|Titan]]'s comics, on the other hand, depict Arcee as having three bodies in their comic strips (sometimes even forgetting about ''that'' and drawing her in her original first movie toyline body), only to have their letters pages make the contradictory claims that a) they ''were'' separate robots who aren't related and Arcee's just the only one namechecked, and b) that ''nobody knows'' and that it depends "on who you ask".
**Hasbro ''Dark of the Moon'' website adheres to the original idea for Arcee, identifying her as a "a single mind that operates three bodies". Further, it follows through on the events of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' by stating that two of her components were destroyed during the battle at Giza. That, of course, is in fairly complete contradiction to previous Hasbro bios that have Elita-One still operating in the post-movie [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] setting.
[[File:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|SIX! SIX BIKE GIRLS! ah ha ha ha *sob*]]
*It was originally intended that the three individual "Arcees" would combine into a singular, larger robot in the film, but Michael Bay chose to drop the idea for fear of the confusion it would cause given how much else was already going on in the film.<ref>[http://www.siggraph.org/s2009/computer_animation_festival/sessions/details/?id=131 Q&A session with ILM effects supervisor Scott Farrar at Siggraph 2009]</ref> The idea evidently remained until comparatively late in production; both an unknown designer (see right) and [[Steve Jung]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 created a model] for the combined robot, and it appears in both the film's novelization and in the animatic for the Shanghai battle scene included on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD. A vestigial reference to the combination even exists in the finished Arcee, Chromia and Elita-1 toys in the form of a fold-out tab on each that allows them to link up back-to-back. Despite claims made by Hasbro that instructions for the trio's combined form would be made available online, the eventual relegation of Elita to a simple redeco of Chromia neutralized any real chance of the figures attaining any true combination capability, though this was returned to in ''Studio Series''.
*The [[bio]] for ''Revenge of the Fallen''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s other motorbike Autobot [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] seems to refer to Arcee's change in form between the first and second movie toylines, claiming that he wants to undergo the new "combiner retrofit" he's been hearing about, strongly implying that Arcee underwent the same process. The absence of Arcee's combined mode from the film and IDW's own later explanation for her change in form kinda screwed this, though.
*The animatics of the Shanghai battle scene included on the ROTF DVD serve to '''make Arcee more confusing'''. The "Lamborghini Jump" animatic depicts a trio of three female motorcycle Transformers (two red, one either silver or black) chasing Sideways, similar to the scene with Arcee and her compatriots as it appears in the final film. However, as the animatic continues, at least two of the bike-girls jump on Sideways in mid-pursuit, who he manages to throw off and into a building by swerving. Sideways is then confronted by ''another'' trio of bikes (pink, yellow and blue), who merge into a single robot and flip towards him, only to inexplicably disappear immediately afterwards. What the ''hell?''
*For some reason, Arcee's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body is flipped horizontally between the toy and her actual appearance in the film, with her gun and motorcycle mode fairing appearing on opposite sides in each representation.
*While ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shots that take down Arcee are fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would later claim that all three Arcee components were killed<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blu-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1608508/story.jhtml Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref> IDW's comics ignored this and continued to feature the three sisters in ''Rising Storm''. ''Age of Extinction'' would support Orci and Kurtzman's claim by having Arcee amongst the card deck of dead Transformers.

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Arceemovie.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|She's got legs, she knows how to use them. Temporarily, anyway.]]
Though small compared to many of her peers and adversaries, '''Arcee''' compensates with speed and aggressive maneuvers, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots around. Moreover, Arcee is a born hunter. She honed her speed hunting [[turbofox]]es with other speedsters, challenging herself to get as close as possible before tagging them with her bow. She's a crack shot with said crossbow weapon, and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] has trained her to use her speed to her advantage in battle, striking suddenly and swiftly and then vanishing away again as fast as she appeared. She is the sister of [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]].

The events at [[Tyger Pax]] created a nagging doubt in Arcee about her abilities. She carries some guilt about [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s injuries, and part of what drives her is the desire to prove herself, not only in the optics of her friends and comrades, but most importantly in her own. She also carries a standing feud with [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] for [[The Thrill of the Hunt|unknown reasons]].<ref name="battlebio">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Arcee Battle Bio]</ref>

{{note|The film goes into no detail on whether or not Arcee is one entity, or three separate beings. See [[#Notes|Notes]] at the bottom of this article for a thorough dissection; for the purposes of this section, all three bike-bots are collectively referred to as "Arcee".}}

Arcee was held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, Arcee pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in her way, but ultimately, none of her three components were able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and he quickly put the Decepticon down.

[[File:Arcee-ROTFthreebikes.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|The [[Chromia (ROTF)|blue one]] likes to sit next to [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] for [[transformer romance|some reason]].]]

While not on missions, Arcee was parked with the other Autobots in their hangar at [[Diego Garcia]]. It was here that the Autobots received word from the [[President of the United States]], via [[Theodore Galloway|Director Galloway]], that the White House was concerned that the Autobots' living on Earth was the reason for the Decepticon activity, and that if need be, they would ask the Autobots to leave. Later, after Optimus Prime died in battle and [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia.
[[File:ROTF Arcee shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Michael Bay displays his usual attitude towards women.]]
NEST had a different idea, and instead shipped Arcee and the other Autobots to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, Sam and Mikaela attempted to make their way through the bombed-out Egyptian town that had become the battlefield. Arcee arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to escort them through the warzone, but unfortunately, two of her bodies were shot down by enemy forces, with only the blue component remaining operational when last seen. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

[[File:Defiance1 Arcee vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"I transform into a vacuum cleaner!"]]

Some time later, while Optimus was showing Megatron around their work, Arcee's team discovered a mysterious relic with a [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] etched into it. She led her superiors to the ancient relic and watched as Megatron and Optimus began to argue when the former demanded the relic be relocated to his private quarters, with Optimus relenting due to a sudden alien attack. Arcee assisted with its evacuation from the dig site. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

After the attack, Arcee tried to save the life of one of the aliens, but was unsuccessful. She and [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] moved the bodies to [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s lab, where they discovered that the beings were similar in structure to the Cybertronians, only lacking the ability to [[transformation|transform]]. Before they could speculate further about the common ancestry of the two races, [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]] arrived with orders from Optimus to assemble at the Simfur excavation site for a meeting. There, Arcee and the other scientists learned of Protector Megatron's demand for war and Optimus's thoughts on the issue. After most of the scientists agreed to follow Optimus, they travelled to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to watch Megatron deliver his saber-rattling war rally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

[[File:Foundation4Arceechromiaknockeoutbymegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|That's not how you treat 2 ladies, Megatron.]]

Ratchet, Arcee and Elita-One returned to the lab to analyze the other relic fragments recovered from the Simfur excavation, while Optimus, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] broke into Megatron's quarters to examine the intact relic. Before Optimus could explain to Ratchet the strange condition of the artifact, Arcee reported finding a symbol that appeared in the same place on all the different fragments: the same symbol that was on Optimus's head. Ratchet theorised that the legend of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] was true, and that Optimus was somehow connected to all of this. Later, at the dig site near [[Burthov]], Arcee, Ratchet and Optimus were arrested by Prowl's security forces on orders from Megatron for treason. What they didn't know was they were all being led into a trap, and the assassins Megatron sent would only take Optimus alive. After [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl's]] initial attack, Optimus ordered the group to escape to Burthov while he took care of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and his soldiers. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}{{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

Arcee was part of the team who captured the disenchanted soldier [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and brought him before Optimus Prime. Ironhide pledged allegiance to Prime and brought news of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', a massive starship that Megatron was building. While observing its construction and taking images of the ship, Arcee remarked that she had never seen its like before. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} From [[Tyger Pax]], she witnessed the departure of the ''Nemesis'' with the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

[[File:MoviePrequel1 Arcee Bumblebee.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"Can I say something?" "Whatever it is, now is not the right time!"]]

During the subsequent civil war, Arcee defended civilians who were being targeted by Megatron's Decepticons for refusing to join in the war against Optimus Prime's Autobots. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As the war raged on, Sentinel invented a "[[pillar|torch]]" that he promised would end the war, which required the [[AllSpark]] to be activated. Arcee and Chromia flanked Ironhide at the lead of the assault on Simfur Temple. As the battle raged, Arcee and Chromia were swatted aside by Megatron, but Optimus attacked, allowing Elita to activate the torch and deliver it to Sentinel. Sentinel arrived in the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], but Starscream blew up the ship. Ironhide picked up Arcee and Chromia as the Autobots retreated. However, the assault had weakened Decepticon morale and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] commanded another [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]] for Arcee and Chromia to steal the AllSpark itself! {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Later, Arcee fought the Decepticons during an attempt to reclaim the Cube at Tyger Pax. However, Arcee and the rest of those under Bumblebee's command didn't know the true purpose of their battle: they were a diversion to keep Megatron busy while other Autobots readied the AllSpark for launch from Cybertron. She was captured and interrogated by the Decepticons but survived the ordeal. She recounted to their Autobot rescuers Bumblebee's heroics in delaying Megatron, which prevented the Decepticon from intercepting the wormhole-bound AllSpark. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

[[File:ReignofStarscream4 Arcee.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb]]

Following the Autobots' victory in Mission City, which culminated in the death of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the destruction of the AllSpark on [[Earth]], Arcee was in command of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] and led [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] and others in an attack on [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's ship]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} While her team made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones the Decepticons sent against them, Arcee killed the Decepticon sniper [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] before he could take out [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. Her teammates were unprepared for the arrival of [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], however, and he quickly slew [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] and wounded [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]]. Remembering her failure at Tyger Pax, Arcee leapt into action, and soon she and Cliffjumper had Thundercracker at their mercy. The arrival of Starscream changed that, as he killed Smokescreen and Air Raid and badly damaged Cliffjumper. As she attempted to pull the last surviving member of her team to safety, Arcee was kicked aside by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

However, Arcee recovered an instant later. The Decepticon starship was already taking off, but she jumped and grabbed onto a piece of landing gear, holding on tight... through the [[space bridge]]. Wow. Later, she made her way back to an Autobot facility, where she unexpectedly met Clocker and [[Crosshairs (Movie)|Crosshairs]]. Along with a large force of Autobots, the three moved in on the Simfur temple, where Starscream was using captured Autobots for a strange project of his. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

She split her troops into two forces: One would attack the city of Trypticon as a diversion, while the other moved in on Simfur. Arcee and her team could only watch helplessly as Starscream drained the life out of the Autobot prisoners strapped onto the [[replica AllSpark]], despite her sister Elita-One's pleas for mercy. An opportunity to cause havoc presented itself when [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]'s forces attempted a coup. Arcee lined up her sights on the generator holding the life energy of the deceased prisoners, dedicated the shot to Elita, and destroyed it, annihilating the Cube and sending the Decepticons into disarray. Arcee's team fought their way through the disorganised Decepticons, linked up with [[Wingblade]]'s team, and rolled out just as the crippled starship came crashing down on the city. With the destruction of the capitol and the defeat of a significant portion of the Decepticon drone army, Arcee considered this to be the turning point of the war, but as long as Starscream was alive, he was a threat that she had to track down. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-Arceeprotoforms.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|The best part of waking up is ... still being in your own body.]]

Some time later, a ship carrying Arcee and her crew was shot down over an unidentified planet, and when Arcee managed to escape the wreckage, she saw that the culprit was her old nemesis, Thundercracker. She blacked out, and an indeterminate amount of time later, she awoke on an operating table—or rather, next to her old body on an operating table. Her [[spark]] had been transplanted into a new body by the Decepticon mad scientist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], as part of a twisted plan to create a new breed of tripartate soldier by using her spark to reignite those of her deceased sisters, Elita-One and Chromia. Flatline had not considered Arcee's strong will, however, and her original programming persisted. She broke free and escaped with two of Flatline's other experiment victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], but was surprised to learn that Flatline's experiment had worked: her sisters lived again in two bodies similar to her own new form, but now, they were connected at the spark, sharing the thoughts, feelings and memories of one another, thinking with one mind yet still retaining a degree of autonomy and recollection of their previous selves. [[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|WASSSS A MAAANNN (now three man)]] The united sisters defeated Flatline, and with the Twins, headed for the exit, but Thundercracker and some Decepticon drones blocked them. Thundercracker laughed, since Arcee hadn't fared too well the last time they tangled, but... that was then. Thundercracker was easily bested by the new and improved Arcee, and escaped while Flatline's headquarters detonated by remote. Arcee wondered whether her weird new existence was a mistake, or if she was merely destined for greater things. Regardless, she refused to become bent on revenge against Thundercracker for the deaths of her crew, so she and the Twins made plans to join the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, Arcee and her sisters, along with [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While 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}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:ArceeROTFIDWCombo.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|Remember what [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] did with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and the [[Duocon]]s?]]
Arcee participated in the [[Shanghai]] battle. When [[The Twins]] botched their chase of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], the Arcee motorcycles gave chase before [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] finished the job. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 1|Revenge of the Fallen #1}} When the Autobots were on the move to the US East Coast investigating on multiple detected Decepticon contacts, at least one of the Arcee bikes was seen alongside [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Later, while Optimus was fighting [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] in the forest, at least two Arcee bikes were approaching the battle site alongside [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. An Arcee robot was also seen with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and Ironhide when the latter was firing at Starscream and Megatron who were fleeing from the site. The Arcee robot was the first one to notice Optimus Prime's severe damage before Ratchet pronounced him "nearly gone". {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 2|Revenge of the Fallen #2}} All three Arcee robots were with the other Autobots when they were facing the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] in the desert of Egypt. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

[[File:TFSpaceCase-SpaceCasehitsArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
Sometime later after [[Operation: Firestorm]], Arcee joined Bumblebee and Sam for a picnic, which was cut short when they went to investigate an energy signal that had appeared after an earthquake. The trio proceeded deep underground and, just as Arcee was admonishing Sam to be careful, Space Case ambushed them. Despite their numeric superiority, the Autobots had trouble with their enemy because they were afraid firing weapons might cause their unstable surroundings to collapse. Space Case, angry at what he perceived as persecution from the Autobots, activated his plasma afterburners and rocketed out of the cave, triggering the feared cave-in and burying Sam and the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Space Case}} Arcee managed to send out a distress signal, to which Ratchet responded. The medic fended off Space Case and managed to free Arcee from a pile of rubble, allowing her to go after Space Case a fleeing Space Case. {{storylink|Transformers: Ratchet}} The chase took them towards a densely populated city. Despite Space Case's engine damage, he still had a significant speed advantage over Arcee. As she paused to consider her options, she received a holographic communication from Ratchet. The Autobot medic reported that Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee had survived their encounter with Space Case with no serious injuries, and suggested that Arcee meet back up with them. Arcee cut him off abruptly, inwardly observing that while Ratchet thought she continued to chase Space Case out of a misplaced sense of pride, that's not really what she was doing at all. Arcee then caught up with Space Case. Panicking, Space Case threw Arcee through a storefront and took to the air in another attempt to escape. Arcee, determined not to let anything keep her down, sped after Space Case, used a building to ramp up to his altitude, and destroyed his other engine. Space Case went plummeting into the distance, headed for the waterfront. As he vanished from sight, he promised to be back. Arcee knew she'd be ready for his eventual return. {{storylink|Transformers: Arcee}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ArceeInjured.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
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, Arcee and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's incredulity about the Autobots "sending their women" to do their fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The battle aggravated the wounds Arcee had taken in Egypt the previous year, however, and she was brought back to Diego Garcia for medical attention courtesy of Ratchet. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

After Sam Witwicky contacted Optimus Prime as Philadelphia was being attacked by Decepticons, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left out of the fight due to Arcee's wounds. Arcee wanted to go despite Chromia's attempt to let her stay behind while her two sisters went. In the end, Optimus decided to allow her to go with Chromia and Elita-1. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

[[File:RisingStorm 3 Arcee, Ravage and Ratbat.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Ravage and Ratbat teach you how to get dates]]

She and her sisters went to New York thinking they would get information on Starscream selling his weapons to humans, but instead they found Astrotrain and a monster. And they also found out that Shockwave was on earth, so they tried to inform Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communication and sent his minions after the girls. Arcee and Chromia told Elita-1 to find Optimus. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

As Ravage was attacking her. Arcee began to feel the pain of her wounds (and Chromia began to feel them too), later Elita-1 died and Arcee and Chromia felt her death. Despite Arcee's attempts to stop her, Chromia activated some bombs they brought with them (which possibly killed Soundwave's minions). Arcee and Chromia survived the explosion. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

===Titan movie comics===
Originally, Arcee didn't serve either faction, working alone to solve injustices in her own way. [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] personally decided to make an example of her, and only an Autobot extraction team led by [[Kup (Movie)|Kup]] saved her life. This debt saw her join the Autobots. She's chimerical in nature and is constantly changing her [[Alternate mode|altmode]] in an effort to go as fast as possible (maybe that's why her [[robot mode]] always looks different!). She [[Arcee (G1)|previously had a hover-car form]], but on Earth takes a modified bike mode. Once you earn her trust, she's [[Rick Astley|never going to let you down]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Arcee bio}}

During the AllSpark launch, she led the six-bot team that drew Megatron's attention to Tyger Pax. And Optimus only told ''Bumblebee'' that's what their mission was! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|#2's reprint of Movie Prelude}}

[[File:Titan5 Sidewayssideswipes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|I'm such good friends that I all dress alike!]]

Arcee had been on Earth for some time before [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] arrived. When using all three of her bodies, she refers to her collective self as "we". Back then, she was keeping her pink paint job!

She went on to assist Optimus Prime in a [[NEST]] mission in [[Australia]], and so was in a perfect position to capture the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Pursuing him in bike(s) mode, she found it near impossible to blow out his tyres and kept getting sideswiped by him during the pursuit. When a stunned Optimus ordered her to stay on the Decepticon's tail, she responded that the Decepticon's alt mode was far better suited for the terrain... inspiring Optimus to ''blow up'' that terrain.
[[File:Titan2-8 dronesurrender.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Geez, this just getting ''confusing''.]]
With Sideways stunned and taking robot form, Arcee sent one bike in to take him down but almost got hit before human military helicopters arrived to back her up. The mission over, she and Optimus took their prisoner back to [[Diego Garcia]], with Arcee escorting him to a cell. But surprise, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] was waiting to free him! She was quickly stunned and unable to stop the Decepticons escaping. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

She later decided it'd be fun to switch back to her older, single-form body! Her old body got a good workout when she was part of the strike team on the Decepticon's [[Mars (planet)|Phobos]] base. After a brief but violent battle, the [[Purple generic drone|drone hordes]] surrendered to her and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

====Alternate timeline====
[[File:Titan13 Arcee.jpg|thumb|"I don't ''want'' to look retro!!"]]
In an [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma|alternate timeline]] where the Decepticons won the battle of [[Mission City]], Arcee was a member of a small group of reinforcements summoned to Earth by the remaining Autobots on the planet. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to await contact from Earth, they were attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], but the quick-thinking Arcee took command and rallied the troops. When this still failed to work, she ordered them to Earth (following [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm's]] initiative) and their prearranged targets. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Joining up with the Earth-bound Autobots, Arcee refused to accept defeat, and helped [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]] defend [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] while he destroyed the AllSpark, foiling the Decepticons' plan to cyberform Earth using its power. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

Arcee was left bewildered by the idea that Humanity would not trust and love the Autobots, and Optimus explained to her that, from a human point of view, all the Transformers are alien horrors fighting on their planet. Following this, she guarded the [[Savannah]], [[Georgia]] shelter and was caught in an ambush staged by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

[[File:Titan22 Arcee.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|"''That's'' better!"]]

Later, after serving with Bumblebee in protecting an Alaskan pipeline, among other engagements to protect the American infrastructure, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} Arcee was part of Ironhide's team in retrieving [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from Cybertron, which ran afoul of [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} She acted as Bumblebee's distraction, drawing [[Storm Surge (Movie)|Storm Surge]] and [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] away, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}} and doubled back to regroup with Ironhide (and pull him out of rubble) when [[Unicron]] arrived. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} Later, she got Optimus Prime up to speed on the situation. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Following the Decepticon re-conquest of Savannah, Arcee was part of the raid to rescue [[Mikaela Banes]]. She got off one bit of bravado about how hitting things was her kind of shindig before [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] hit ''her''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

When the Autobots launched their final strike, Arcee was part of the spearhead team hitting the [[Decepticon Heartland]]. She started off the 'tagging' of Decepticons to teleport them away from Earth, getting [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] in the back and looking very happy about it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

{{Note|Arcee was also the host of a "Lonely Hearts" letter column in the comic's [[letters page]]. Really!}}

===Toy bios===
Arcee was well trained by Ironhide, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots. She believes without question that the Decepticons must be stopped at all costs. {{storylink|#Scout Class toys|Arcee (Target Exclusive)}}

Arcee was on [[Earth]] for a short time at the beginning of the conflict there, presumably arriving shortly after Bumblebee in the early part of the 21st Century. {{storylink|#2007dlx|Arcee's bio}} When the situation on Earth began to ramp up into out-and-out combat, she was reassigned to the [[Charii system]], where her stealth skills would be of more use fighting against a Decepticon splinter cell working on a star-breaking weapon. {{storylink|#Robovision|Arcee's Robovision bio}} She nevertheless jumped at the chance to get back on Earth and was soon handed control of her own strike team, made up of robots similar to her in attitude and design. Arcee stalked Decepticons and killed them on the quiet. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 2|Arcee (ROTF)}}

In 2010, she had to fight the dread [[Tailwhip]] and was trapped in his vortex! Arcee's only chance was to shoot out the blades of the evil robot above her.{{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 3|Rotorwash Rumble}}

*'''Arcee''' (Target exclusive Scout Class, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Launcher, missile, scope, 2 tailpipes, "Energon" star

: Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]], replacing her pinks and most of her whites and blacks with blue, and her translucent red with smoky brown plastic. She transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle. Unusually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do. Instead, her Energon Bow mounts on a peg on either arm, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey "arrow" missile.

:Arcee (and the rest of the Scout wave) were [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores, where they were all part of a [[Robo-Vision]] promotion. Arcee came with a Robo-Vision Decoder which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code ("BULLSEYE") printed on her cardback. Starting [[June 2]], 2007, Target's website allowed users to input those codes to access exclusive content, a concept similar to the online [[Cyber Planet Key]] info from the [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]].

: This mold also was used to make ''Superlink'' Ariel Paradron Type, as well as the [[BotCon 2005]] "[[Descent into Evil]]" set's [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]], [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]], and the fellow Target-exclusive [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|movieverse]] [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], which was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Arcee (SG)|Arcee]].

*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Launcher, missile

: Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Arcee has references [[tampograph]]ed on her [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], such as her motorcycle's fictional model name, "RC 1100" (Get it? "RC" as in "Arcee"), and her Massachusetts [[license plate]] marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.

: Arcee's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted, which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm in [[robot mode]] is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.

: Undocumented in the instructions, the two shoulder-mounted half-wheels contain a small niche on the edge of the tires. By folding the wheels down with the hubcaps pointing towards the chest and turning the tires towards the shoulders, one can feel the wheels gently click into place via the tire niches and hidden tabs in the shoulders, allowing the wheels to remain in place and more closely resemble the figure as pictured on its packaging.

: As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike; unfortunately, it's mounted so low that she will fall in the opposite direction if it is fully extended.

*'''Arcee''' (Legends, 2010)

:Legends Arcee is a pink and black motorcycle that transforms into a pink and black robot. Black chunks are strategically placed on her two wheels so she can stand up in robot mode. There's an odd jointed piece above her rear wheel that has a [[Powerlinx]]-like [[5 mm post|hardpoint]] and a peg hole on the other side; since the entire piece serves no function, it may have been designed with a combined form similar to the Deluxes in mind.

[[File:ROTF Deluxe Chromia.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Hey, I'm Arcee too, sometimes! Well, actually most times.]]
*'''Chromia''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cycle cannons

:[[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] converts from a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} to... a unicycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. There is also a piece on the bottom of the vehicle mode (or back of the robot mode) that folds out, but there is no indication in the instructions as to what this piece is for. However, the piece can slide into a similar piece in the later Arcee toy, starting the supposed combined mode.

:While the instructions depict the motorcycle seat remaining flat so that it ends up covering the bottom wheel, the robot mode more closely resembles the movie design if the seat is folded in and locked into a slot on the motorcycle's bottom, as shown on the back of the packaging. The packaging photo also shows Chromia's front wheel resting behind the robot's shoulders, while the instructions leave it above her head. Furthermore, while it is not mentioned either in the instructions or shown on the box, the stand can be attached backwards and rotated with the guns facing up so that it acts as a prop for the toy, allowing the wheel to actually touch the ground, and letting the toy look from the front like it is unsupported. In addition, the stand can also be attached to right arm as an inordinately large handgun by sliding the two pegs inside the gun into two slots on the inside of the arm.

:The stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it.

:Though the instructions do not explain it, the back of the blister card mentions she has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in her left arm. While it isn't quite the "spinning gears" the card refers to, swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun.

*'''Arcee''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-23'''
**''Accessories:'' Sidecar/blaster/figure stand

:Deluxe class ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Arcee converts from a {{w|Ducati 848}} to a robot mode that can look quite awkward if not properly aligned. The figure has a sidecar which can become a Dual Sniper Pistol<ref name="battlebio"/> or a display stand. In robot mode, she is equipped with a small cannon on her right wrist that can deploy a spring-loaded energy blade. Small [[Cyberglyphics]] inscriptions are molded onto the surface of the blade.

:Her [[Mech Alive]] feature is located not in her elbow, as the packaging would suggest, but instead in her chest; tilting her neck up and down causes a pair of exposed gears to turn.

[[File:ROTF-toy FAB CyberPursuitArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Cyber Pursuit Arcee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Exhaust pipes/missile

:A simplified version of her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy, [[Fast Action Battlers]] Arcee is targeted at the age 5 and under demographic, being a simplified version of her Deluxe-Class toy and having more limited articulation (that's better than most Fast Action Battlers toys). This version does away with the sidecar/stand in favor of a built-in, fully retractable stand, as well as featuring a kickstand and free spinning wheels. Her main gimmick is the ability to fire her dual exhaust pipes as a single missile in both robot and vehicle mode. She features fully working suspension, but due to the transformation locking both wheels in place, it is not available in vehicle mode.

:Despite being intended for a sub-line that focuses on fast and fairly easy transformations, the design of the shoulder joints and the nature of the transformation can make transforming from robot to vehicle mode frustrating. Ironic.

*'''Autobot [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] / Arcee / [[Mikaela Banes]]''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-25'''

: Coming with Skids and Mikaela Banes, ''[[Human Alliance]]'' Arcee is a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. As with the other Human Alliance vehicles, Mikaela can ride her in her vehicle mode.

: This figure, which is somewhere in between [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends]] and [[size class|Scout Class]] size, has a motorcycle mode that is slightly similar to Arcee's Ducati 848, with some elements resembling the Aprilia RS125 Mikaela is riding at one point in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|movie]], and some elements entirely made up. The robot mode, meanwhile, is clearly that of the blue motorcycle, [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]. Hasbro explained in their monthly Q&A that it ''is'' meant to resemble Mikaela's bike, and they called it "Arcee" so kids wouldn't be confused by two separate red/pink bikes.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65426 Hasbro December 09 Q&A, AllSpark]</ref> Also, the face, which is mostly unpainted save for a few small details, doesn't resemble ROTF Arcee's movie design at all. In fact, the head design bears some resemblance to [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]].

: Despite being larger than a Legends Class figure, Arcee features less [[articulation]] than most of them. While her right elbow features a swivel joint, the left arm is sculpted in one piece, and the elbow fixed in a permanent position.

: This mold was later redecoed into ''Dark of the Moon'' Human Alliance [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]].

*'''[[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] / Chromia / [[Seymour Simmons]]''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

: Coming with Mudflap and Seymour Simmons, Human Alliance Chromia is, you guessed it, a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. Simmons can ride her in her vehicle mode as well.

: Aside from the colour scheme, this "Chromia" is clearly meant to be Arcee as it has the main component's robot mode, and its vehicle mode is closer to Arcee's than either the motorcycle included with Human Alliance Skids or the Deluxe Chromia. Its higher level of movie-accuracy includes a much more accurate head sculpt, and although its left arm is also cast in one piece, the extra articulation in the shoulders, waist and hips makes the figure more posable than the other HA motorcycle.

: The transformation is surprisingly complex and fiddly for a figure this size, which is basically a non-autotransforming version of the larger FAB. In robot mode the figure has a piece than the wheels can stand on to support them, or be rotated behind to prop the figure up with some care. The kickstand is too short to hold the bike upright in vehicle mode, although this is easily fixed by gluing a small piece of black plastic to its base to lengthen it. She suffers from balance issues in robot mode as well, since her robot-mode stand ends up placed more towards her left side instead of at the center, meaning she tends to fall to her right side often.

: She also comes packaged incompletely transformed, with her (difficult to open) right hand left untransformed as the motorbike's seat. Good luck getting ''that'' out.

*'''Elita-1''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cannons

:Elita-1 is a black, white and metallic pink [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank threads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her license plate has ''3L 174'' written on it as an stylish way of spelling her own name. [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

:Originating from [[TakaraTomy]], this ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe class Arcee is a redeco and minor retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Chromia, adding two [[5 mm post]] hole MechTech ports on her sculpted engine, which end up on her arms in robot mode. She comes with a retool of [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon, replacing the chainsaw with a new Sonic Blade sword.

:Unlike the official image(left),the figure uses white plastic on some pieces, noticeable in both modes.

:Arcee comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of her MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:A redeco of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee figure, this version is mostly cast in smoky clear pink plastic, with her sidecar being white this time. Liberally scattered across her body are opaque pink [[Cyberglyphics]]. The packaging callouts return to falsely indicating that her left elbow contains moving gears.

:As with the other [[Target]] [[exclusive]] "Cyberglyph" redecos ([[Space Case (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Space Case]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Cyberglyph|Bumblebee]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Autobot Jazz]]), she comes with a comic book by [[IDW Publishing]], ''[[Transformers: Arcee]]''.

: She was also made available in Canada as a Zellers exclusive, in New Zealand as a Farmers exclusive (both in English-only US-style packaging minus the "only at Target" sticker), in the United Kingdom as a Tesco exclusive, and in Germany as a Müller exclusive (both in typical [[multilingual packaging|multilingual European packaging]] including a multilingual comic).

:At both [[BotCon 2011]] and [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, the Hasbro slide presentation referred to this figure as Elita-1. Alrighty then.

:This mold Elita-1 is redecoed from actually uses Chromia's robot design (similarly to Elita-1's Deluxe-class toy) despite originally being named and colored like Arcee, meaning that the purple bike is a recolor of the red bike who somehow had the blue bike's body. Confused yet?

For reasons unknown, Arcee came without instructions... at least, no samples of her ''with'' instructions have been reported, but that's a small sample size because...

:...Series 5 of ''Movie Edition'' Tiny Turbo Changers only barely made it to retail. Very few retailers and virtually no online outlets offered this Series, and the few places they could be found, like [[Target]], apparently got very very few of them.

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Arcee is a brand-new Legion Class-sized mold accurate to her appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', transforming into a pink Ducati 848 sportbike unlike her previous toys, which were generally colored bright red. She comes packaged with new molds of [[Chromia (ROTF)#Studio Series|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)#Studio Series|Elita-1]] in a three-pack priced at the standard Deluxe Class price value, making the three the smallest toys in the ''Studio Series'' line to date. The set includes three unique stands for each sister's bottom wheels, helping them stay upright, and a cardboard backdrop display of their pursuit of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] in Shanghai streets.

:[[File:Studio_Series_52_Arcee_combiner.JPG|upright=0.85|thumb|left]]
:Though not included in the toys' instructions, the three sisters combine into a kind of motorbike-centaur form, as originally proposed for (but cut from) the movie (see "Notes," below). The combined form is assembled using special tabs on Elita and Chromia's stands to link the figures together, and its appearance is completed with three accessories: a pink cannon, a blue sword, and blue shoulder pad, which all attach to Arcee. Arcee can also wear the parts while in her individual robot mode, but neither they nor the sisters' stands store anywhere in vehicle mode.

:Like the rest of the figures in the same wave, Arcee first saw release in some Toys"R"Us shops in Malaysia and independent stores in Hong Kong.

==Notes==
[[File:Movie scale chart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|In the time before time...]]
===Single Arcee===
*Arcee was originally going to be a member of the live-action movie's Autobot cast, but was later replaced by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. According to screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]], they would have needed to explain the point behind female robots, which there wasn't any time for in the movie.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2007/07/02/exclusive-interview-robert-orci?page=3 Roberto Orci explaining the reasons for Arcee's removal from the script in an interview with IGN.]</ref> Oddly enough, there was no attempt to do so in ROTF.
*In another interview, Alex Kurtzman cited "scale issues" as an additional reason for dropping Arcee; allegedly, Michael Bay simply considered her too small as compared to the rest of the Autobots.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070714214451/http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies/transformersmovie/005082421.cfm?page=1 Wizard interview with Kurtzman and Orci]</ref>
*As part of [[BotCon 2007]]'s Hasbro tour, fans viewed "Robot Scale Chart v03", dated 11.22.05, which showed Arcee's height as 9' (2.7m). However, all of the designs on this chart were very early and later heavily revised (though [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] was revised far less than the others).
*It's commonly assumed that Arcee's big part in the movie would have been the scene in which [[William Lennox]] starts his solo assault on [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] using an abandoned motorcycle. However, the screenwriters rejected that notion, stating that this scene wasn't written until ''after'' Arcee had already been dropped from the script—but if she ''had'' remained in the movie, that scene ''would'' have probably featured her as the motorcycle.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/2288318-post539.html Orci once again clearing up the story between Arcee and the motorcycle Lennox uses during the final battle]</ref>
*Arcee came ''this'' close to being killed off in ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', as the trade states that two revisions of the plot had her dying.
[[File:BB-Arcee-model.jpg|thumb|Ok, her legs were too skinny before, but now we're exaggerating..]]
*Arcee's Cybertronian design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily inspired by her Generation 1 [[Arcee (G1)|namesake]].

===Arcee triplets===
[[File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|So apparently Chromia and Elita-1 were green and silver at some point? Okay.]]
*It's not especially clear whether ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee is one consciousness controlling three bodies, or three separate individuals. Writer [[Roberto Orci]] explained that she was written as a singular entity, but that [[Michael Bay]] "kept them as individuals".<ref>[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2009/07/ask-orci-final-edition.html Roberto Orci answers questions on the Transformers Live blogspot, July 13, 2009.]</ref> If this was Bay's intention, it does not particularly come across in the movie (as the trio doesn't really ''do'' anything), beyond perhaps Arcee referring to her components in the plural form in one instance. The novelization of the film adheres to the script's intent, describing Arcee as a "[[tripartite Cybertronian]]", while the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline chose instead to identify Arcee as only ''one'' of the bikes (the pink/red one), and characterize the other two as the separate characters [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]], who were characterised as Arcee's sisters.
**IDW Publishing's ''[[Transformers: Tales of the Fallen|Tales of the Fallen]]'' mini-series, complimented a few years later by ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm|Rising Storm]]'', goes to some lengths to marry the two concepts, depicting Arcee, Elita-1 and Chromia as a trio of robots animated by one spark, sharing thoughts and feelings but still possessing some degree of autonomy from one another.
**[[Titan Books|Titan]]'s comics, on the other hand, depict Arcee as having three bodies in their comic strips (sometimes even forgetting about ''that'' and drawing her in her original first movie toyline body), only to have their letters pages make the contradictory claims that a) they ''were'' separate robots who aren't related and Arcee's just the only one namechecked, and b) that ''nobody knows'' and that it depends "on who you ask".
**Hasbro ''Dark of the Moon'' website adheres to the original idea for Arcee, identifying her as a "a single mind that operates three bodies". Further, it follows through on the events of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' by stating that two of her components were destroyed during the battle at Giza. That, of course, is in fairly complete contradiction to previous Hasbro bios that have Elita-One still operating in the post-movie [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] setting.
[[File:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|SIX! SIX BIKE GIRLS! ah ha ha ha *sob*]]
*It was originally intended that the three individual "Arcees" would combine into a singular, larger robot in the film, but Michael Bay chose to drop the idea for fear of the confusion it would cause given how much else was already going on in the film.<ref>[http://www.siggraph.org/s2009/computer_animation_festival/sessions/details/?id=131 Q&A session with ILM effects supervisor Scott Farrar at Siggraph 2009]</ref> The idea evidently remained until comparatively late in production; both an unknown designer (see right) and [[Steve Jung]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 created a model] for the combined robot, and it appears in both the film's novelization and in the animatic for the Shanghai battle scene included on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD. A vestigial reference to the combination even exists in the finished Arcee, Chromia and Elita-1 toys in the form of a fold-out tab on each that allows them to link up back-to-back. Despite claims made by Hasbro that instructions for the trio's combined form would be made available online, the eventual relegation of Elita to a simple redeco of Chromia neutralized any real chance of the figures attaining any true combination capability, though this was returned to in ''Studio Series''.
*The [[bio]] for ''Revenge of the Fallen''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s other motorbike Autobot [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] seems to refer to Arcee's change in form between the first and second movie toylines, claiming that he wants to undergo the new "combiner retrofit" he's been hearing about, strongly implying that Arcee underwent the same process. The absence of Arcee's combined mode from the film and IDW's own later explanation for her change in form kinda screwed this, though.
*The animatics of the Shanghai battle scene included on the ROTF DVD serve to '''make Arcee more confusing'''. The "Lamborghini Jump" animatic depicts a trio of three female motorcycle Transformers (two red, one either silver or black) chasing Sideways, similar to the scene with Arcee and her compatriots as it appears in the final film. However, as the animatic continues, at least two of the bike-girls jump on Sideways in mid-pursuit, who he manages to throw off and into a building by swerving. Sideways is then confronted by ''another'' trio of bikes (pink, yellow and blue), who merge into a single robot and flip towards him, only to inexplicably disappear immediately afterwards. What the ''hell?''
*For some reason, Arcee's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body is flipped horizontally between the toy and her actual appearance in the film, with her gun and motorcycle mode fairing appearing on opposite sides in each representation.
*While ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shots that take down Arcee are fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would later claim that all three Arcee components were killed<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blu-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1608508/story.jhtml Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref> IDW's comics ignored this and continued to feature the three sisters in ''Rising Storm''. ''Age of Extinction'' would support Orci and Kurtzman's claim by having Arcee amongst the card deck of dead Transformers.

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Arceemovie.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|She's got legs, she knows how to use them. Temporarily, anyway.]]
Though small compared to many of her peers and adversaries, '''Arcee''' compensates with speed and aggressive maneuvers, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots around. Moreover, Arcee is a born hunter. She honed her speed hunting [[turbofox]]es with other speedsters, challenging herself to get as close as possible before tagging them with her bow. She's a crack shot with said crossbow weapon, and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] has trained her to use her speed to her advantage in battle, striking suddenly and swiftly and then vanishing away again as fast as she appeared. She is the sister of [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]].

The events at [[Tyger Pax]] created a nagging doubt in Arcee about her abilities. She carries some guilt about [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s injuries, and part of what drives her is the desire to prove herself, not only in the optics of her friends and comrades, but most importantly in her own. She also carries a standing feud with [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] for [[The Thrill of the Hunt|unknown reasons]].<ref name="battlebio">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Arcee Battle Bio]</ref>

{{note|The film goes into no detail on whether or not Arcee is one entity, or three separate beings. See [[#Notes|Notes]] at the bottom of this article for a thorough dissection; for the purposes of this section, all three bike-bots are collectively referred to as "Arcee".}}

Arcee was held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, Arcee pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in her way, but ultimately, none of her three components were able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and he quickly put the Decepticon down.

While not on missions, Arcee was parked with the other Autobots in their hangar at [[Diego Garcia]]. It was here that the Autobots received word from the [[President of the United States]], via [[Theodore Galloway|Director Galloway]], that the White House was concerned that the Autobots' living on Earth was the reason for the Decepticon activity, and that if need be, they would ask the Autobots to leave. Later, after Optimus Prime died in battle and [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia.
[[File:ROTF Arcee shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Michael Bay displays his usual attitude towards women.]]
NEST had a different idea, and instead shipped Arcee and the other Autobots to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, Sam and Mikaela attempted to make their way through the bombed-out Egyptian town that had become the battlefield. Arcee arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to escort them through the warzone, but unfortunately, two of her bodies were shot down by enemy forces, with only the blue component remaining operational when last seen. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Arcee was among the Autobots fending off a wave of Decepticon forces led by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], where Arcee tried to contact the capital of the last remaining Autobot city for reinforcements only to fail in establishing a connection. She was eventually ordered to retreat by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. Tasked with finding other Autobots scattered throughout the galaxy and rendezvous on [[Earth]], they left Cybertron in various escape pods. {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Foudnation2 ArceeChromiaElita.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Arcee lived in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] with her sister Chromia, while their eldest sibling, Elita-One, became a follower of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Following Sentinel's successful unification of the warring tribes of Cybertron, Arcee and Chromia came to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to hear his speech for the future. It was announced that the planet would be governed by a [[Science Division]] headed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and a [[Defense Force]] led by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]; while Chromia elected to join the latter, Arcee, intrigued at the prospect of investigating the legacy of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], signed up with Optimus's team. The Science Division began an archaeological excavation of the area around [[Simfur]], uncovering a strange object that they believed to be connected to the Dynasty. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

[[File:Defiance1 Arcee vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"I transform into a vacuum cleaner!"]]

Some time later, while Optimus was showing Megatron around their work, Arcee's team discovered a mysterious relic with a [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] etched into it. She led her superiors to the ancient relic and watched as Megatron and Optimus began to argue when the former demanded the relic be relocated to his private quarters, with Optimus relenting due to a sudden alien attack. Arcee assisted with its evacuation from the dig site. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

After the attack, Arcee tried to save the life of one of the aliens, but was unsuccessful. She and [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] moved the bodies to [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s lab, where they discovered that the beings were similar in structure to the Cybertronians, only lacking the ability to [[transformation|transform]]. Before they could speculate further about the common ancestry of the two races, [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]] arrived with orders from Optimus to assemble at the Simfur excavation site for a meeting. There, Arcee and the other scientists learned of Protector Megatron's demand for war and Optimus's thoughts on the issue. After most of the scientists agreed to follow Optimus, they travelled to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to watch Megatron deliver his saber-rattling war rally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

[[File:Foundation4Arceechromiaknockeoutbymegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|That's not how you treat 2 ladies, Megatron.]]

Ratchet, Arcee and Elita-One returned to the lab to analyze the other relic fragments recovered from the Simfur excavation, while Optimus, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] broke into Megatron's quarters to examine the intact relic. Before Optimus could explain to Ratchet the strange condition of the artifact, Arcee reported finding a symbol that appeared in the same place on all the different fragments: the same symbol that was on Optimus's head. Ratchet theorised that the legend of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] was true, and that Optimus was somehow connected to all of this. Later, at the dig site near [[Burthov]], Arcee, Ratchet and Optimus were arrested by Prowl's security forces on orders from Megatron for treason. What they didn't know was they were all being led into a trap, and the assassins Megatron sent would only take Optimus alive. After [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl's]] initial attack, Optimus ordered the group to escape to Burthov while he took care of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and his soldiers. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}{{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

Arcee was part of the team who captured the disenchanted soldier [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and brought him before Optimus Prime. Ironhide pledged allegiance to Prime and brought news of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', a massive starship that Megatron was building. While observing its construction and taking images of the ship, Arcee remarked that she had never seen its like before. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} From [[Tyger Pax]], she witnessed the departure of the ''Nemesis'' with the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

[[File:MoviePrequel1 Arcee Bumblebee.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"Can I say something?" "Whatever it is, now is not the right time!"]]

During the subsequent civil war, Arcee defended civilians who were being targeted by Megatron's Decepticons for refusing to join in the war against Optimus Prime's Autobots. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As the war raged on, Sentinel invented a "[[pillar|torch]]" that he promised would end the war, which required the [[AllSpark]] to be activated. Arcee and Chromia flanked Ironhide at the lead of the assault on Simfur Temple. As the battle raged, Arcee and Chromia were swatted aside by Megatron, but Optimus attacked, allowing Elita to activate the torch and deliver it to Sentinel. Sentinel arrived in the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], but Starscream blew up the ship. Ironhide picked up Arcee and Chromia as the Autobots retreated. However, the assault had weakened Decepticon morale and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] commanded another [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]] for Arcee and Chromia to steal the AllSpark itself! {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Later, Arcee fought the Decepticons during an attempt to reclaim the Cube at Tyger Pax. However, Arcee and the rest of those under Bumblebee's command didn't know the true purpose of their battle: they were a diversion to keep Megatron busy while other Autobots readied the AllSpark for launch from Cybertron. She was captured and interrogated by the Decepticons but survived the ordeal. She recounted to their Autobot rescuers Bumblebee's heroics in delaying Megatron, which prevented the Decepticon from intercepting the wormhole-bound AllSpark. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

[[File:ReignofStarscream4 Arcee.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb]]

Following the Autobots' victory in Mission City, which culminated in the death of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the destruction of the AllSpark on [[Earth]], Arcee was in command of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] and led [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] and others in an attack on [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's ship]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} While her team made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones the Decepticons sent against them, Arcee killed the Decepticon sniper [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] before he could take out [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. Her teammates were unprepared for the arrival of [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], however, and he quickly slew [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] and wounded [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]]. Remembering her failure at Tyger Pax, Arcee leapt into action, and soon she and Cliffjumper had Thundercracker at their mercy. The arrival of Starscream changed that, as he killed Smokescreen and Air Raid and badly damaged Cliffjumper. As she attempted to pull the last surviving member of her team to safety, Arcee was kicked aside by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

However, Arcee recovered an instant later. The Decepticon starship was already taking off, but she jumped and grabbed onto a piece of landing gear, holding on tight... through the [[space bridge]]. Wow. Later, she made her way back to an Autobot facility, where she unexpectedly met Clocker and [[Crosshairs (Movie)|Crosshairs]]. Along with a large force of Autobots, the three moved in on the Simfur temple, where Starscream was using captured Autobots for a strange project of his. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

She split her troops into two forces: One would attack the city of Trypticon as a diversion, while the other moved in on Simfur. Arcee and her team could only watch helplessly as Starscream drained the life out of the Autobot prisoners strapped onto the [[replica AllSpark]], despite her sister Elita-One's pleas for mercy. An opportunity to cause havoc presented itself when [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]'s forces attempted a coup. Arcee lined up her sights on the generator holding the life energy of the deceased prisoners, dedicated the shot to Elita, and destroyed it, annihilating the Cube and sending the Decepticons into disarray. Arcee's team fought their way through the disorganised Decepticons, linked up with [[Wingblade]]'s team, and rolled out just as the crippled starship came crashing down on the city. With the destruction of the capitol and the defeat of a significant portion of the Decepticon drone army, Arcee considered this to be the turning point of the war, but as long as Starscream was alive, he was a threat that she had to track down. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-Arceeprotoforms.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|The best part of waking up is ... still being in your own body.]]

Some time later, a ship carrying Arcee and her crew was shot down over an unidentified planet, and when Arcee managed to escape the wreckage, she saw that the culprit was her old nemesis, Thundercracker. She blacked out, and an indeterminate amount of time later, she awoke on an operating table—or rather, next to her old body on an operating table. Her [[spark]] had been transplanted into a new body by the Decepticon mad scientist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], as part of a twisted plan to create a new breed of tripartate soldier by using her spark to reignite those of her deceased sisters, Elita-One and Chromia. Flatline had not considered Arcee's strong will, however, and her original programming persisted. She broke free and escaped with two of Flatline's other experiment victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], but was surprised to learn that Flatline's experiment had worked: her sisters lived again in two bodies similar to her own new form, but now, they were connected at the spark, sharing the thoughts, feelings and memories of one another, thinking with one mind yet still retaining a degree of autonomy and recollection of their previous selves. [[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|WASSSS A MAAANNN (now three man)]] The united sisters defeated Flatline, and with the Twins, headed for the exit, but Thundercracker and some Decepticon drones blocked them. Thundercracker laughed, since Arcee hadn't fared too well the last time they tangled, but... that was then. Thundercracker was easily bested by the new and improved Arcee, and escaped while Flatline's headquarters detonated by remote. Arcee wondered whether her weird new existence was a mistake, or if she was merely destined for greater things. Regardless, she refused to become bent on revenge against Thundercracker for the deaths of her crew, so she and the Twins made plans to join the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, Arcee and her sisters, along with [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While 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}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:ArceeROTFIDWCombo.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|Remember what [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] did with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and the [[Duocon]]s?]]
Arcee participated in the [[Shanghai]] battle. When [[The Twins]] botched their chase of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], the Arcee motorcycles gave chase before [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] finished the job. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 1|Revenge of the Fallen #1}} When the Autobots were on the move to the US East Coast investigating on multiple detected Decepticon contacts, at least one of the Arcee bikes was seen alongside [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Later, while Optimus was fighting [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] in the forest, at least two Arcee bikes were approaching the battle site alongside [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. An Arcee robot was also seen with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and Ironhide when the latter was firing at Starscream and Megatron who were fleeing from the site. The Arcee robot was the first one to notice Optimus Prime's severe damage before Ratchet pronounced him "nearly gone". {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 2|Revenge of the Fallen #2}} All three Arcee robots were with the other Autobots when they were facing the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] in the desert of Egypt. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

[[File:TFSpaceCase-SpaceCasehitsArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
Sometime later after [[Operation: Firestorm]], Arcee joined Bumblebee and Sam for a picnic, which was cut short when they went to investigate an energy signal that had appeared after an earthquake. The trio proceeded deep underground and, just as Arcee was admonishing Sam to be careful, Space Case ambushed them. Despite their numeric superiority, the Autobots had trouble with their enemy because they were afraid firing weapons might cause their unstable surroundings to collapse. Space Case, angry at what he perceived as persecution from the Autobots, activated his plasma afterburners and rocketed out of the cave, triggering the feared cave-in and burying Sam and the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Space Case}} Arcee managed to send out a distress signal, to which Ratchet responded. The medic fended off Space Case and managed to free Arcee from a pile of rubble, allowing her to go after Space Case a fleeing Space Case. {{storylink|Transformers: Ratchet}} The chase took them towards a densely populated city. Despite Space Case's engine damage, he still had a significant speed advantage over Arcee. As she paused to consider her options, she received a holographic communication from Ratchet. The Autobot medic reported that Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee had survived their encounter with Space Case with no serious injuries, and suggested that Arcee meet back up with them. Arcee cut him off abruptly, inwardly observing that while Ratchet thought she continued to chase Space Case out of a misplaced sense of pride, that's not really what she was doing at all. Arcee then caught up with Space Case. Panicking, Space Case threw Arcee through a storefront and took to the air in another attempt to escape. Arcee, determined not to let anything keep her down, sped after Space Case, used a building to ramp up to his altitude, and destroyed his other engine. Space Case went plummeting into the distance, headed for the waterfront. As he vanished from sight, he promised to be back. Arcee knew she'd be ready for his eventual return. {{storylink|Transformers: Arcee}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ArceeInjured.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
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, Arcee and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's incredulity about the Autobots "sending their women" to do their fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The battle aggravated the wounds Arcee had taken in Egypt the previous year, however, and she was brought back to Diego Garcia for medical attention courtesy of Ratchet. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

After Sam Witwicky contacted Optimus Prime as Philadelphia was being attacked by Decepticons, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left out of the fight due to Arcee's wounds. Arcee wanted to go despite Chromia's attempt to let her stay behind while her two sisters went. In the end, Optimus decided to allow her to go with Chromia and Elita-1. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

[[File:RisingStorm 3 Arcee, Ravage and Ratbat.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Ravage and Ratbat teach you how to get dates]]

She and her sisters went to New York thinking they would get information on Starscream selling his weapons to humans, but instead they found Astrotrain and a monster. And they also found out that Shockwave was on earth, so they tried to inform Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communication and sent his minions after the girls. Arcee and Chromia told Elita-1 to find Optimus. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

As Ravage was attacking her. Arcee began to feel the pain of her wounds (and Chromia began to feel them too), later Elita-1 died and Arcee and Chromia felt her death. Despite Arcee's attempts to stop her, Chromia activated some bombs they brought with them (which possibly killed Soundwave's minions). Arcee and Chromia survived the explosion. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Originally, Arcee didn't serve either faction, working alone to solve injustices in her own way. [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] personally decided to make an example of her, and only an Autobot extraction team led by [[Kup (Movie)|Kup]] saved her life. This debt saw her join the Autobots. She's chimerical in nature and is constantly changing her [[Alternate mode|altmode]] in an effort to go as fast as possible (maybe that's why her [[robot mode]] always looks different!). She [[Arcee (G1)|previously had a hover-car form]], but on Earth takes a modified bike mode. Once you earn her trust, she's [[Rick Astley|never going to let you down]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Arcee bio}}

During the AllSpark launch, she led the six-bot team that drew Megatron's attention to Tyger Pax. And Optimus only told ''Bumblebee'' that's what their mission was! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|#2's reprint of Movie Prelude}}

[[File:Titan5 Sidewayssideswipes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|I'm such good friends that I all dress alike!]]

Arcee had been on Earth for some time before [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] arrived. When using all three of her bodies, she refers to her collective self as "we". Back then, she was keeping her pink paint job!

She went on to assist Optimus Prime in a [[NEST]] mission in [[Australia]], and so was in a perfect position to capture the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Pursuing him in bike(s) mode, she found it near impossible to blow out his tyres and kept getting sideswiped by him during the pursuit. When a stunned Optimus ordered her to stay on the Decepticon's tail, she responded that the Decepticon's alt mode was far better suited for the terrain... inspiring Optimus to ''blow up'' that terrain.
[[File:Titan2-8 dronesurrender.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Geez, this just getting ''confusing''.]]
With Sideways stunned and taking robot form, Arcee sent one bike in to take him down but almost got hit before human military helicopters arrived to back her up. The mission over, she and Optimus took their prisoner back to [[Diego Garcia]], with Arcee escorting him to a cell. But surprise, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] was waiting to free him! She was quickly stunned and unable to stop the Decepticons escaping. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

She later decided it'd be fun to switch back to her older, single-form body! Her old body got a good workout when she was part of the strike team on the Decepticon's [[Mars (planet)|Phobos]] base. After a brief but violent battle, the [[Purple generic drone|drone hordes]] surrendered to her and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

====Alternate timeline====
[[File:Titan13 Arcee.jpg|thumb|"I don't ''want'' to look retro!!"]]
In an [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma|alternate timeline]] where the Decepticons won the battle of [[Mission City]], Arcee was a member of a small group of reinforcements summoned to Earth by the remaining Autobots on the planet. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to await contact from Earth, they were attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], but the quick-thinking Arcee took command and rallied the troops. When this still failed to work, she ordered them to Earth (following [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm's]] initiative) and their prearranged targets. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Joining up with the Earth-bound Autobots, Arcee refused to accept defeat, and helped [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]] defend [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] while he destroyed the AllSpark, foiling the Decepticons' plan to cyberform Earth using its power. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

Arcee was left bewildered by the idea that Humanity would not trust and love the Autobots, and Optimus explained to her that, from a human point of view, all the Transformers are alien horrors fighting on their planet. Following this, she guarded the [[Savannah]], [[Georgia]] shelter and was caught in an ambush staged by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

[[File:Titan22 Arcee.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|"''That's'' better!"]]

Later, after serving with Bumblebee in protecting an Alaskan pipeline, among other engagements to protect the American infrastructure, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} Arcee was part of Ironhide's team in retrieving [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from Cybertron, which ran afoul of [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} She acted as Bumblebee's distraction, drawing [[Storm Surge (Movie)|Storm Surge]] and [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] away, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}} and doubled back to regroup with Ironhide (and pull him out of rubble) when [[Unicron]] arrived. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} Later, she got Optimus Prime up to speed on the situation. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Following the Decepticon re-conquest of Savannah, Arcee was part of the raid to rescue [[Mikaela Banes]]. She got off one bit of bravado about how hitting things was her kind of shindig before [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] hit ''her''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

When the Autobots launched their final strike, Arcee was part of the spearhead team hitting the [[Decepticon Heartland]]. She started off the 'tagging' of Decepticons to teleport them away from Earth, getting [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] in the back and looking very happy about it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

Arcee was well trained by Ironhide, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots. She believes without question that the Decepticons must be stopped at all costs. {{storylink|#Scout Class toys|Arcee (Target Exclusive)}}

Arcee was on [[Earth]] for a short time at the beginning of the conflict there, presumably arriving shortly after Bumblebee in the early part of the 21st Century. {{storylink|#2007dlx|Arcee's bio}} When the situation on Earth began to ramp up into out-and-out combat, she was reassigned to the [[Charii system]], where her stealth skills would be of more use fighting against a Decepticon splinter cell working on a star-breaking weapon. {{storylink|#Robovision|Arcee's Robovision bio}} She nevertheless jumped at the chance to get back on Earth and was soon handed control of her own strike team, made up of robots similar to her in attitude and design.

*'''Arcee''' (Target exclusive Scout Class, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Launcher, missile, scope, 2 tailpipes, "Energon" star

: Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]], replacing her pinks and most of her whites and blacks with blue, and her translucent red with smoky brown plastic. She transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle. Unusually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do. Instead, her Energon Bow mounts on a peg on either arm, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey "arrow" missile.

:Arcee (and the rest of the Scout wave) were [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores, where they were all part of a [[Robo-Vision]] promotion. Arcee came with a Robo-Vision Decoder which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code ("BULLSEYE") printed on her cardback. Starting [[June 2]], 2007, Target's website allowed users to input those codes to access exclusive content, a concept similar to the online [[Cyber Planet Key]] info from the [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]].

: This mold also was used to make ''Superlink'' Ariel Paradron Type, as well as the [[BotCon 2005]] "[[Descent into Evil]]" set's [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]], [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]], and the fellow Target-exclusive [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|movieverse]] [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], which was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Arcee (SG)|Arcee]].

[[File:Movie Deluxe Arcee toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Pretty in...purple?]]
*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Launcher, missile

: Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Arcee has references [[tampograph]]ed on her [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], such as her motorcycle's fictional model name, "RC 1100" (Get it? "RC" as in "Arcee"), and her Massachusetts [[license plate]] marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.

: Arcee's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted, which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm in [[robot mode]] is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.

: Undocumented in the instructions, the two shoulder-mounted half-wheels contain a small niche on the edge of the tires. By folding the wheels down with the hubcaps pointing towards the chest and turning the tires towards the shoulders, one can feel the wheels gently click into place via the tire niches and hidden tabs in the shoulders, allowing the wheels to remain in place and more closely resemble the figure as pictured on its packaging.

: As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike; unfortunately, it's mounted so low that she will fall in the opposite direction if it is fully extended.

*'''Arcee''' (Legends, 2010)

:Legends Arcee is a pink and black motorcycle that transforms into a pink and black robot. Black chunks are strategically placed on her two wheels so she can stand up in robot mode. There's an odd jointed piece above her rear wheel that has a [[Powerlinx]]-like [[5 mm post|hardpoint]] and a peg hole on the other side; since the entire piece serves no function, it may have been designed with a combined form similar to the Deluxes in mind.

[[File:ROTF Deluxe Chromia.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Hey, I'm Arcee too, sometimes! Well, actually most times.]]
*'''Chromia''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cycle cannons

:[[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] converts from a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} to... a unicycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. There is also a piece on the bottom of the vehicle mode (or back of the robot mode) that folds out, but there is no indication in the instructions as to what this piece is for. However, the piece can slide into a similar piece in the later Arcee toy, starting the supposed combined mode.

:While the instructions depict the motorcycle seat remaining flat so that it ends up covering the bottom wheel, the robot mode more closely resembles the movie design if the seat is folded in and locked into a slot on the motorcycle's bottom, as shown on the back of the packaging. The packaging photo also shows Chromia's front wheel resting behind the robot's shoulders, while the instructions leave it above her head. Furthermore, while it is not mentioned either in the instructions or shown on the box, the stand can be attached backwards and rotated with the guns facing up so that it acts as a prop for the toy, allowing the wheel to actually touch the ground, and letting the toy look from the front like it is unsupported. In addition, the stand can also be attached to right arm as an inordinately large handgun by sliding the two pegs inside the gun into two slots on the inside of the arm.

:The stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it.

:Though the instructions do not explain it, the back of the blister card mentions she has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in her left arm. While it isn't quite the "spinning gears" the card refers to, swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun.

*'''Arcee''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-23'''
**''Accessories:'' Sidecar/blaster/figure stand

:Deluxe class ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Arcee converts from a {{w|Ducati 848}} to a robot mode that can look quite awkward if not properly aligned. The figure has a sidecar which can become a Dual Sniper Pistol<ref name="battlebio"/> or a display stand. In robot mode, she is equipped with a small cannon on her right wrist that can deploy a spring-loaded energy blade. Small [[Cyberglyphics]] inscriptions are molded onto the surface of the blade.

:Her [[Mech Alive]] feature is located not in her elbow, as the packaging would suggest, but instead in her chest; tilting her neck up and down causes a pair of exposed gears to turn.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[File:ROTF-toy FAB CyberPursuitArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Cyber Pursuit Arcee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Exhaust pipes/missile

:A simplified version of her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy, [[Fast Action Battlers]] Arcee is targeted at the age 5 and under demographic, being a simplified version of her Deluxe-Class toy and having more limited articulation (that's better than most Fast Action Battlers toys). This version does away with the sidecar/stand in favor of a built-in, fully retractable stand, as well as featuring a kickstand and free spinning wheels. Her main gimmick is the ability to fire her dual exhaust pipes as a single missile in both robot and vehicle mode. She features fully working suspension, but due to the transformation locking both wheels in place, it is not available in vehicle mode.

:Despite being intended for a sub-line that focuses on fast and fairly easy transformations, the design of the shoulder joints and the nature of the transformation can make transforming from robot to vehicle mode frustrating. Ironic.

*'''Autobot [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] / Arcee / [[Mikaela Banes]]''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-25'''

: Coming with Skids and Mikaela Banes, ''[[Human Alliance]]'' Arcee is a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. As with the other Human Alliance vehicles, Mikaela can ride her in her vehicle mode.

: This figure, which is somewhere in between [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends]] and [[size class|Scout Class]] size, has a motorcycle mode that is slightly similar to Arcee's Ducati 848, with some elements resembling the Aprilia RS125 Mikaela is riding at one point in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|movie]], and some elements entirely made up. The robot mode, meanwhile, is clearly that of the blue motorcycle, [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]. Hasbro explained in their monthly Q&A that it ''is'' meant to resemble Mikaela's bike, and they called it "Arcee" so kids wouldn't be confused by two separate red/pink bikes.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65426 Hasbro December 09 Q&A, AllSpark]</ref> Also, the face, which is mostly unpainted save for a few small details, doesn't resemble ROTF Arcee's movie design at all. In fact, the head design bears some resemblance to [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]].

: Despite being larger than a Legends Class figure, Arcee features less [[articulation]] than most of them. While her right elbow features a swivel joint, the left arm is sculpted in one piece, and the elbow fixed in a permanent position.

: This mold was later redecoed into ''Dark of the Moon'' Human Alliance [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]].

*'''[[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] / Chromia / [[Seymour Simmons]]''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

: Coming with Mudflap and Seymour Simmons, Human Alliance Chromia is, you guessed it, a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. Simmons can ride her in her vehicle mode as well.

: Aside from the colour scheme, this "Chromia" is clearly meant to be Arcee as it has the main component's robot mode, and its vehicle mode is closer to Arcee's than either the motorcycle included with Human Alliance Skids or the Deluxe Chromia. Its higher level of movie-accuracy includes a much more accurate head sculpt, and although its left arm is also cast in one piece, the extra articulation in the shoulders, waist and hips makes the figure more posable than the other HA motorcycle.

: The transformation is surprisingly complex and fiddly for a figure this size, which is basically a non-autotransforming version of the larger FAB. In robot mode the figure has a piece than the wheels can stand on to support them, or be rotated behind to prop the figure up with some care. The kickstand is too short to hold the bike upright in vehicle mode, although this is easily fixed by gluing a small piece of black plastic to its base to lengthen it. She suffers from balance issues in robot mode as well, since her robot-mode stand ends up placed more towards her left side instead of at the center, meaning she tends to fall to her right side often.

: She also comes packaged incompletely transformed, with her (difficult to open) right hand left untransformed as the motorbike's seat. Good luck getting ''that'' out.

*'''Elita-1''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cannons

:Elita-1 is a black, white and metallic pink [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank threads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her license plate has ''3L 174'' written on it as an stylish way of spelling her own name. [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

:Originating from [[TakaraTomy]], this ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe class Arcee is a redeco and minor retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Chromia, adding two [[5 mm post]] hole MechTech ports on her sculpted engine, which end up on her arms in robot mode. She comes with a retool of [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon, replacing the chainsaw with a new Sonic Blade sword.

Unlike the official image(left),the figure uses white plastic on some pieces, noticeable in both modes.

:Arcee comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of her MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:A redeco of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee figure, this version is mostly cast in smoky clear pink plastic, with her sidecar being white this time. Liberally scattered across her body are opaque pink [[Cyberglyphics]]. The packaging callouts return to falsely indicating that her left elbow contains moving gears.

:As with the other [[Target]] [[exclusive]] "Cyberglyph" redecos ([[Space Case (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Space Case]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Cyberglyph|Bumblebee]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Autobot Jazz]]), she comes with a comic book by [[IDW Publishing]], ''[[Transformers: Arcee]]''.

: She was also made available in Canada as a Zellers exclusive, in New Zealand as a Farmers exclusive (both in English-only US-style packaging minus the "only at Target" sticker), in the United Kingdom as a Tesco exclusive, and in Germany as a Müller exclusive (both in typical [[multilingual packaging|multilingual European packaging]] including a multilingual comic).

:At both [[BotCon 2011]] and [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, the Hasbro slide presentation referred to this figure as Elita-1. Alrighty then.

:This mold Elita-1 is redecoed from actually uses Chromia's robot design (similarly to Elita-1's Deluxe-class toy) despite originally being named and colored like Arcee, meaning that the purple bike is a recolor of the red bike who somehow had the blue bike's body. Confused yet?

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Arcee is a brand-new Legion Class-sized mold accurate to her appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', transforming into a pink Ducati 848 sportbike unlike her previous toys, which were generally colored bright red. She comes packaged with new molds of [[Chromia (ROTF)#Studio Series|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)#Studio Series|Elita-1]] in a three-pack priced at the standard Deluxe Class price value, making the three the smallest toys in the ''Studio Series'' line to date. The set includes three unique stands for each sister's bottom wheels, helping them stay upright, and a cardboard backdrop display of their pursuit of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] in Shanghai streets.

:[[File:Studio_Series_52_Arcee_combiner.JPG|upright=0.85|thumb|left]]
:Though not included in the toys' instructions, the three sisters combine into a kind of motorbike-centaur form, as originally proposed for (but cut from) the movie (see "Notes," below). The combined form is assembled using special tabs on Elita and Chromia's stands to link the figures together, and its appearance is completed with three accessories: a pink cannon, a blue sword, and blue shoulder pad, which all attach to Arcee. Arcee can also wear the parts while in her individual robot mode, but neither they nor the sisters' stands store anywhere in vehicle mode.

==Notes==
[[File:Movie scale chart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|In the time before time...]]
===Single Arcee===
*Arcee was originally going to be a member of the live-action movie's Autobot cast, but was later replaced by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. According to screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]], they would have needed to explain the point behind female robots, which there wasn't any time for in the movie.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2007/07/02/exclusive-interview-robert-orci?page=3 Roberto Orci explaining the reasons for Arcee's removal from the script in an interview with IGN.]</ref> Oddly enough, there was no attempt to do so in ROTF.
*In another interview, Alex Kurtzman cited "scale issues" as an additional reason for dropping Arcee; allegedly, Michael Bay simply considered her too small as compared to the rest of the Autobots.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070714214451/http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies/transformersmovie/005082421.cfm?page=1 Wizard interview with Kurtzman and Orci]</ref>
*As part of [[BotCon 2007]]'s Hasbro tour, fans viewed "Robot Scale Chart v03", dated 11.22.05, which showed Arcee's height as 9' (2.7m). However, all of the designs on this chart were very early and later heavily revised (though [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] was revised far less than the others).
*It's commonly assumed that Arcee's big part in the movie would have been the scene in which [[William Lennox]] starts his solo assault on [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] using an abandoned motorcycle. However, the screenwriters rejected that notion, stating that this scene wasn't written until ''after'' Arcee had already been dropped from the script—but if she ''had'' remained in the movie, that scene ''would'' have probably featured her as the motorcycle.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/2288318-post539.html Orci once again clearing up the story between Arcee and the motorcycle Lennox uses during the final battle]</ref>
*Arcee came ''this'' close to being killed off in ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', as the trade states that two revisions of the plot had her dying.
[[File:BB-Arcee-model.jpg|thumb|Ok, her legs were too skinny before, but now we're exaggerating..]]
*Arcee's Cybertronian design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily inspired by her Generation 1 [[Arcee (G1)|namesake]].

===Arcee triplets===
[[File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|So apparently Chromia and Elita-1 were green and silver at some point? Okay.]]
*It's not especially clear whether ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee is one consciousness controlling three bodies, or three separate individuals. Writer [[Roberto Orci]] explained that she was written as a singular entity, but that [[Michael Bay]] "kept them as individuals".<ref>[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2009/07/ask-orci-final-edition.html Roberto Orci answers questions on the Transformers Live blogspot, July 13, 2009.]</ref> If this was Bay's intention, it does not particularly come across in the movie (as the trio doesn't really ''do'' anything), beyond perhaps Arcee referring to her components in the plural form in one instance. The novelization of the film adheres to the script's intent, describing Arcee as a "[[tripartite Cybertronian]]", while the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline chose instead to identify Arcee as only ''one'' of the bikes (the pink/red one), and characterize the other two as the separate characters [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]], who were characterised as Arcee's sisters.
**IDW Publishing's ''[[Transformers: Tales of the Fallen|Tales of the Fallen]]'' mini-series, complimented a few years later by ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm|Rising Storm]]'', goes to some lengths to marry the two concepts, depicting Arcee, Elita-1 and Chromia as a trio of robots animated by one spark, sharing thoughts and feelings but still possessing some degree of autonomy from one another.
**[[Titan Books|Titan]]'s comics, on the other hand, depict Arcee as having three bodies in their comic strips (sometimes even forgetting about ''that'' and drawing her in her original first movie toyline body), only to have their letters pages make the contradictory claims that a) they ''were'' separate robots who aren't related and Arcee's just the only one namechecked, and b) that ''nobody knows'' and that it depends "on who you ask".
**Hasbro ''Dark of the Moon'' website adheres to the original idea for Arcee, identifying her as a "a single mind that operates three bodies". Further, it follows through on the events of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' by stating that two of her components were destroyed during the battle at Giza. That, of course, is in fairly complete contradiction to previous Hasbro bios that have Elita-One still operating in the post-movie [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] setting.
[[File:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|SIX! SIX BIKE GIRLS! ah ha ha ha *sob*]]
*It was originally intended that the three individual "Arcees" would combine into a singular, larger robot in the film, but Michael Bay chose to drop the idea for fear of the confusion it would cause given how much else was already going on in the film.<ref>[http://www.siggraph.org/s2009/computer_animation_festival/sessions/details/?id=131 Q&A session with ILM effects supervisor Scott Farrar at Siggraph 2009]</ref> The idea evidently remained until comparatively late in production; both an unknown designer (see right) and [[Steve Jung]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 created a model] for the combined robot, and it appears in both the film's novelization and in the animatic for the Shanghai battle scene included on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD. A vestigial reference to the combination even exists in the finished Arcee, Chromia and Elita-1 toys in the form of a fold-out tab on each that allows them to link up back-to-back. Despite claims made by Hasbro that instructions for the trio's combined form would be made available online, the eventual relegation of Elita to a simple redeco of Chromia neutralized any real chance of the figures attaining any true combination capability, though this was returned to in ''Studio Series''.
*The [[bio]] for ''Revenge of the Fallen''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s other motorbike Autobot [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] seems to refer to Arcee's change in form between the first and second movie toylines, claiming that he wants to undergo the new "combiner retrofit" he's been hearing about, strongly implying that Arcee underwent the same process. The absence of Arcee's combined mode from the film and IDW's own later explanation for her change in form kinda screwed this, though.
*The animatics of the Shanghai battle scene included on the ROTF DVD serve to '''make Arcee more confusing'''. The "Lamborghini Jump" animatic depicts a trio of three female motorcycle Transformers (two red, one either silver or black) chasing Sideways, similar to the scene with Arcee and her compatriots as it appears in the final film. However, as the animatic continues, at least two of the bike-girls jump on Sideways in mid-pursuit, who he manages to throw off and into a building by swerving. Sideways is then confronted by ''another'' trio of bikes (pink, yellow and blue), who merge into a single robot and flip towards him, only to inexplicably disappear immediately afterwards. What the ''hell?''
*For some reason, Arcee's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body is flipped horizontally between the toy and her actual appearance in the film, with her gun and motorcycle mode fairing appearing on opposite sides in each representation.
*While ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shots that take down Arcee are fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would later claim that all three Arcee components were killed<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blu-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1608508/story.jhtml Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref> IDW's comics ignored this and continued to feature the three sisters in ''Rising Storm''. ''Age of Extinction'' would support Orci and Kurtzman's claim by having Arcee amongst the card deck of dead Transformers.

Tiny Titans

2020-05-21T01:01:58Z

Felipescado: /* Toys */

'''''Tiny Titans''''' is a line of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] soft-plastic semi-[[super deformed|super-deformed]]-style figurines, premiering in 2015. It is ostensibly a sub-line of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' toyline]], as that is the packaging style used in every Series, but the character roster is multi-franchise; mainly ''Robots in Disguise'' and [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]], but a few others pop up here and there.

Each figure also comes with a character trading card with an [[insignia]] that can be scanned in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], giving the player a semi-random amount of energon cube "currency" and a random power-up item. Interestingly, the art for the cards render all of the characters, regardless of franchise, in the ''Robots in Disguise'' style, even if the toy sculpts are more "traditional".

Despite the lack of any kind of ID coding on the outer packaging, the bags are thankfully thin enough to read the names on the cards through when pressed flat (or the number if the card is packaged upside-down, a fairly common occurrence). There's also a tiny clear window in the back to peek at the item inside, making the task of getting the ones you want somewhat easier.

Some might call '''Hawt Diggity''' a showoff, but the truth of the matter is that she just ''loves'' to strut her stuff and entertain crowds. It's probably a good thing that the other BotBots appreciate her performances; as the superstar of the mall food court, she holds the record for "longest standing ovation" and "most likes." Perhaps its due to her affable nature, as she never misses the opportunity to pose with her fans for pictures.

Talk:Soundwave (ROTF)

2020-02-27T08:54:35Z

Felipescado: /* Studio Series */

==Toy in stores==
* I just got Soundwave in a shop in Belgium, is that even posible when this page says it's not on shelves now?--[[User:Sunjumper|Sunjumper]] 15:51, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

== Whaa? ==

What happened to my edit? I added a mainpic then it just disappeared {{unsigned|Ikkwave}}

:The picture was crappy so it was removed. -[[User:Mazenoise|Mazenoise]] 06:01, 17 June 2009 (EDT)

:Oh ok XD [[User:Ikkwave|Ikkwave]] 01:02, 19 June 2009 (EDT)

Yeah that has happened to me on some of the other wikis I'm on like Smurf wiki and ninja turtle wiki, I have not figured it out yet! - middle school kid

== Head in ROTF ==

Anybody else agree on Soundwave's head in the movie actually being that armoured decoy head the toy has on the back? Looking at the toy that matches far more with what I saw on screen, but I'll know for sure near end of this week when I go and see it again.[[User:Dead Metal|Dead Metal]] 06:51, 29 June 2009 (EDT)

-The head in ROTF looks like a cross between the two.--[[User:Megatron Prime|Megatron Prime]] 10:59, 23 June 2010 (EDT)
==Toy shoulders==

:''The configuration for the satellite mode depicted in the toy's instructions is not the way Soundwave appears in the film, featuring a different angling for the panels on his shoulders. It's not a big change, but transforming the toy in accordance with his movie appearance ''does'' help to distinguish the jet from the satellite a little, since otherwise, virtually the only difference is in the positioning of the large panel "wings".''

What, exactly, is that referring to? Although many fans (and the official press photos) skip it, the toy's instructions '''do''' show a change in the shoulder panels' position between the jet and the satellite: that's the only way the satellite's panels plug into them. I tried to look at the shoulders the last time I saw the movie, but they looked like the properly transformed version. Before I just delete that section, can someone show me what I'm missing? --[[User:Buttbutt|Buttbutt]] 19:32, 2 July 2009 (EDT)

:Essentially, the toy shows the panels folded down against the shoulders - not bent in the middle and actually plugged into the circular grooves as they are for jet and robot modes, but straight, flat and downwardly-pointing. In the film, they're rotated 90 degrees, fanned out, with the large, flat side (with the orange circle) facing outward. Well, inasmuch as what you see in the movie looks anything ''like'' the toy. He's got two panels fanned out on either side of his head. I suppose, though, after a moment of reflection, that his panels shift and move about so much in the film that it might be a bit negligible. It's just that without it, the only difference between the two modes is bending the shoulder panels down a bit and clicking the large wing-panels into them. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 19:42, 2 July 2009 (EDT)

==New main picture==

'Rise of the Decepticons' has a good double-page picture of Soundwave hacking into the American satellite, which I feel would be a better choice for main picture as it really embodies his role in the film. Would it be okay to change it, or does TFWiki have an unofficial policy that main pictures have to be of TF's in their robot mode? [[User:Tarrn|Tarrn]] 05:44, 9 July 2009 (EDT)
:Given that Soundwave doesn't use his robot mode in his most prominent fiction appearance, I think it would be fine if the article's main imagine was of his satellite mode. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 12:25, 9 July 2009 (EDT)
:Okay, seeing the actual picture in question... I don't think that makes a very good main pic at all. It is dominated by the actual satellite and not Soundwave himself. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 13:25, 9 July 2009 (EDT)
::I could crop it to focus entirely on Soundwave, although it looks a little odd as his main body is entirely on the left-hand side of the picture unless you crop the right wing too. I'm going to try a version where it's centered on his head and see what people think.[[User:Tarrn|Tarrn]] 18:09, 9 July 2009 (EDT)

== Repeat? ==

Did anyone else notice how two of Soundwave's scenes were the same? Specifically, his first appearance, and his last. Anyone? [[Special:Contributions/24.89.74.34|24.89.74.34]] 02:23, 10 July 2009 (EDT)

== Soundwave's Packaging ==
On the back of his packaging it says, "Cannon converts to blade!" Is it me or is there a lack of cannon?
[[User:Boxotron|Boxotron]] 12:32, 23 August 2009 (EDT)
:I believe that comes from ROTF Megatron's packaging? [[Special:Contributions/114.108.194.66|114.108.194.66]] 00:45, 8 June 2010 (EDT)

I found the ROTF screenshots from an [http://www.fxguide.com/article551.html FX Guide] interview with [[Digital Domain]].

== Rumble and Laserbeak ==

Should we make seperate pages for Rumble and Laserbeak? The two appeared as pods in the DLC for the game so thy deserve a page! and I don't care if they weren't officially named, half the animated characters are unnamed! like "freeway" "carerra" so lets make a Rumble page and a Laserbeak Page! there is no reason we shouldn't!{{unsigned|92.238.187.82|13:10, September 2, 2009 (EDT)}}

Can we lose the tentacle rape line? What if kids are reading this?
: [[Kiss Players issue 1]] --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 12:07, 14 December 2009 (EST)
::What if ''non-Japanese'' kids are reading this? - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 12:13, 14 December 2009 (EST)
:::Well, then we'll have to delete all the Kiss Players articles, won't we? I mean, if the word "rape" is unacceptable, then the visuals they include are right out, aren't they? ;-P - '''McFeely, not signed in'''
::::Sweet! Oh... You are being sarcastic. I suggested that a while back but Scout shot the idea down. Personally, I think KP should not be called attention to by linking from completely unrelated articles for the sake of a... joke?. Seriously, I don't think we're doing Hasbro any favors. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 12:38, 14 December 2009 (EST)
:::::Oh, I take no issue with idea of removing the word-linking. Joke works on its own without needing the link. I take issue with the whole "Think of the children!" argument. "What if kids are reading this?" is not a workable argument for removing something from the wiki when official things like ''Kiss Players'' exist. - '''McFeely'''
::::::If Hasbro were that concerned about children stumbling onto "inappropriate" Transformers content, maybe they shouldn't have had that blockbuster movie with the swearing and the humping and the testicles. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 13:08, 14 December 2009 (EST)
:::::::We totally need a screen shot of the satellite with a caption along the lines of "Why what's such a fine little satellite like you doing all alone out here in space?", also I think my image caption is awesome and it should stay the way it is. [[User:Dead Metal|Dead Metal]] 14:30, 14 December 2009 (EST)

-I think we should at least remove the line from the main-pic. I think a more appropriate line would be some sort of Space Invaders reference. Thoughts?--[[User:Megatron Prime|Megatron Prime]] 13:23, 27 July 2010 (EDT)

Hello, I'm a middle school girl, you really SHOULD get the tentacle rape line it's sorta awkward for a fan like me to be reading this, Sound wave is my favorite transformer next to bumble bee and I don't like the caption under that photo!

It's not inappropriate because of children seeing it, it's inappropriate because rape jokes are offensive. There are two rape jokes here and I find this disgusting. Rape should not be equated with humour. It's not the word "rape" that's unacceptable, it's the use of the subject as a joke. Especially "operation Childhood Raoe" and the one about "Why what's such a fine little satellite like you doing all alone out here in space?", that last one is misogynistic and all rape jokes contribute to rape culture and can be a trigger for rape survivors. In case you don't know what rape culture is, is the present society problem where rape victims are made fun of, or blamed for being raped. The rape jokes on this page can be a cause of much emotional harm in certain individuals. --[[User:FA254|FA254]] 14:34, 30 July 2013 (EDT)
:"Bayformers raped my childhood!" is a common absurd hyperbolic sentiment in the TF fandom, it's not a joke about children getting raped. I don't see any caption like the second one you mention, but with regards to the mainpic caption you tried to remove, I can't see that a joke about a robot 'raping' an inanimate object with tentacles is that outrageous on a wiki which documents [[Legion|instances of (attempted) tentacle rape]] on human women in fiction. I mean, what, are we going to put a big TRIGGER WARNING notice at the top of every Kiss Players page now? [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 15:16, 30 July 2013 (EDT)
::I removed the captions. "Raped my childhood" is a bullshit phrase I'd just as soon not see on this wiki (or ever) unless it's being dissected for its whining self-importance and asshattish insensitivity. And the mainpic one wasn't funny, it was just HURF DURF RAPE. So it goes. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 15:22, 30 July 2013 (EDT)

Why isn't it listed among his toys and merchandise? could someone please give me a coherent answer?.--[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 23:00, 16 March 2010 (EDT)
:"No one has gotten around to it yet". It's been officially revealed, both at Toy Fair 2010 and on [http://bwtf.com/node/1304 BWTF], so that's not an issue in this case. It might simply be a matter of waiting for the Hasbro stock photography to be released. (I forget who does most of the RPM updates... abates or apoc, I think?)

::::It actually looks like the RPM release of Soundwave (and maybe the last two waves of other RPM product) was canceled for the United States (and probably Canada). We've only heard about them otherwise being released in the Philippines, and the Speed Stars (white card) version of Soundwave is already in stores. I don't know if the RPM and Speed Stars version of Soundwave are physically different, but I know they have slightly different bios. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 22:38, 23 August 2010 (EDT)
:::::I got him today (ironically, at the closest supermarket from my home), and it seems that the tetralingual (intended for all countries outside the U.S. in America) release doesn't come with a bio, unlike the one released in the Philppines. He does have some deco differences compared to the Speed Stars version: the Speed Stars version lacks paint in the doors, as well as the chest, arms, legs and face of the "robot" mode unlike the RPM release that has this fully painted and the plastic in the bottom of the car is cast in a different color: the RPM version is bronze while the Speed Stars version is golden. The robot mode looks like WFC Soundwave, so I suggest this toy is also listed or noted in that page, (Soundwave (Prime)), however, the RPM bio identifies him as ROFT Soundwave, I haven´t read the Speed Stars bio so Í'm not sure about that toy's identity. Oh, and the RPM release has "Soundwave-Audio" written on the inferior part of the doors in adition to having the tail lights painted (in red)-[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 19:01, 7 September 2010 (EDT)

:::::::::The Stealth Force toy lacks any Paramount Pictures logo or information anywhere on its packaging, though. Indicator that it's meant to be G1 or WFC/Prime? --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 01:46, 15 October 2010 (EDT)
::::::::::I spotted him in a store today, and his bio starts off (and I'm paraphrasing because at $20 I wasn't game to buy one) "He may have left his post in orbit to join his fellow Decepticons on the ground..." which implies to me that he's ROTF Soundwave. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 18:51, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
:::::::::::Well again there's no Paramount or Dreamworks logos anywhere... Don't have either bios handy (trilingual packaging here means I don't see bios until after I've opened a toy) I wonder if there's any similarities between the Generations WFC Soundwave bio and the Stealth Force one. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 19:25, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
::::::::::::I'm guessing they get to skip on using the Paramount/Dreamworks logos, because there's no connection in appearance to movie Soundwave, plus they're not using ROTF branding any more. SF 'Wave's bio is all about his sonic weapons, while WFC 'Wave's bio is all about how he's a storehouse of knowledge, so there's no similarities I can see. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 19:45, 18 October 2010 (EDT)

== Page Name Change ==

Would it be better if the page's name was changed to "Soundwave (Movie)" as opposed to "Soundwave (ROTF)". Soundwave appeared in both ROTF and DOTM. The page's name suggests that he was only in ROTF.

his studio series alt mode isn't any more accurate than the old rotf as the current info on the toy section claims
as his body extend back a bit and has an extra panel only seen on the legends class toy currently, while the studio series for the most part uses the same layout as the original toy and even uses the side panels with double "blades" instead of a single one, with the only more accurate part being the visible eyes and the cone on the back of the head and some assorted details here and there in alt mode, but even then, the satellite proportions are way off compared to what was seen onscreen , being the rotf closer overall looking bette ror worse thats debatable but the new figure ISN'T more accurate([[User talk:Felipescado|talk]])

Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes

[[File:Bumblebeeclassicstoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
When on [[Earth]], a [[Transformer]] typically finds a wide variety of [[human]] vehicles matching their general body plan and size available to adopt as a disguise mode. Although there are many thousands of options available, certain specific models of vehicle, however, are very popular disguises, seeing repeated use across multiple individuals and [[Continuity|continuities]].

'''TFWiki.net: The Transformers Wiki''' has certain requirements for a vehicle model to be listed here. There must be at least '''three unique toy molds''' (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share the model. There must also be at least '''one unique character per mold'''. Certain models are "lumped" together, such as the case for the Mazda RX car series, which includes the RX-7 and RX-8 types. This also, of course, takes into account the various fudging of the designs that are done in order to get a [[robot mode]] out of the toy, as well as avoid having to pay a licensing fee to the actual manufacturers (in most instances).

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

This policy is in place mainly due to the rampant use of redecoes as new characters, and is a little out of line with the phenomenon being explored... after all, isn't it kinda weird that out of all the myriad types of fighter jet there are in the world, that the Dassault Rafale in particular seems to pop up so often across soooooo many jet-form toy-characters?

Megatron (Movie)/toys

Felipescado: /* Masterpiece Movie Series */ it was pointing out to the masterpiece optimus "megatron" accesory insted of the actual mp5 megatron figure

{{suite}}

'''[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]''' got the Hollywood bad-guy treatment, and therefore got truckloads of toys too!

He also ''became'' a truck later on. Funny, that is.

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Legends Class toys====
[[File:Movie Legends Megatron toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Just what the hell do I turn into?]]
*'''Megatron''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Megatron'''
:[[Legends Class]] Megatron is the smallest mainline ''Movie'' Megatron toy. The sheer simplicity of the Legends class toy means that his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] is basically his [[robot mode]] splayed out. His robot mode is passably accurate, but has the Alien Queen-esque head design that was replaced with the finalized design after this figure's production (though due to the lack of detail, it can also be interpreted as his current head design). Due to his transformation scheme, he has swiveling waist. Despite it's simplicity, the Legends class figure is far closer to Megatron's actual design in the movie than most of his larger figures.

:The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy's subsidiary Subarudo.

:The figure is misassembled in package with the arms being swapped putting paint applications and more sculpted detail on the wrong sides of his arms; it is a simple matter to rectify this though as they are on rather loose ball joints at the shoulder and are easily popped off and swapped round. It should be noted that the arms & head is molded in softer, rubbery plastic, and it was unknown if they would harden and break just like [[Scorponok (Movie)#Legends_Class_toys|Scorponok]].

:His arms are still misassembled in-package.

:Like Bumblebee & Starscream, he was packaged in alternate mode. Surprisingly, his vehicle mode is ''not'' mistransformed in-package, but still has the arms misassembled.

:Ice Megatron is a, well, ice-themed redeco of Legends Class Megatron, which means his black paint applications have been replaced by blue. He comes packed with yet another redeco of Legends class [[Jazz (Movie)#LegendsVsMegatron|Jazz]], this time "battle damaged".

====Voyager Class toys====
[[File:Movie Voyager Megatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey, I think I'm as weird as the ''[[Transformers: The War Within|War Within]]'' figures! ...nah, not there yet.]]
*'''Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-14'''
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:Voyager Class Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his Cybertronic jet, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them. With a significantly different (and simple compared to other figures of the same pricepoint) transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm. His wings feature flip-out "ice blades", and pulling on a piece in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like pincer claws.

:Something interesting to note is that his feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two "rear toes" on each feet automatically close up when he's not standing up. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing, as the feet parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.

:The stock photo on the toy's packaging depicts Megatron with the unused head that appeared in some concept art. However, the rest of the figure's body is still modeled after the final character model.

[[File:Movie Voyager Premium Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Wouldn't the toy above be much cooler with duller colours?]]
*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:One of the first figures available in the ''[[Premium Series]]'' (although not explicitly identified on the packaging as such), Voyager Class Megatron was released exclusively at Best Buy on October 16th, 2007 alongside the North American launch of the ''Transformers'' movie DVD. Megatron has been completely redecoed, covering most of his previously grey parts with metallic silver paint and a black paint wash over the top of that. Black and gold highlights are used to offset all of the silver, while the transparent 'ice' parts are clear. These changes essentially make Megatron far more accurate to his movie appearance.

:Megatron is presented in robot mode inside a special display box similar in shape to the packaging for the Hasbro release of ''Generation 1'' ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]].

*'''Battle Over Mission City''' ("Screen Battles" two-pack, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:A Target exclusive redeco of Voyager Class Megatron in primarily beige and chocolate brown colors with brown paintwashes, this version replaces the ice colored translucent plastic with two shades of translucent orange to replicate a look that resembles Megatron's fiery demise (or atmospheric re-entry). Unlike the previous releases, this version's wings are painted to match the body color, so they give the appearance of molten slag. This version was only available in a two-pack with a mostly unchanged Deluxe Class [[Jazz (Movie)#TargetvsMegatron|Final Battle Jazz]] in reference to their fight on the skyscraper featured in the film.

:As the colors on this Megatron are very similar to the colors on the Screen Battles version of Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]], it can be assumed that those two sets are meant to also represent the climactic final battle at the end of the film.

====Leader Class toys====
[[File:Movie Leader Megatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Ohhhh! I turn into a big-boned guy!"]]
*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-07'''
:Leader Class ''Movie'' Megatron transforms into a silver Cybertronic assault jet. In robot mode, Megatron's right "[[Rocket Claw]]" disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable "[[mace|chain]] [[whip]]" weapon concealed within his forearm; pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a "[[fusion cannon]]," with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.

:Megatron's instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be center-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.

:There is an error in Megatron's legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation. In addition to ''that'', both of Megatron's hands have a finger misassembly. Two pieces are molded to have two fingers, while one is obviously supposed to be a thumb–however, this thumb is on the 'outside' of his hands instead of the inside. The prototype on the packaging's stock photos show the correct assembly.

:Possibly a dropped feature [[for safety reasons]], the right hand (partly a projectile tethered to the arm) is designed to launch out of his wrist via a spring-loaded firing mechanism. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was removed, though the firing trigger remains. One can either find a compatible spring or steal the spring in his left arm fusion cannon, then place it in his right forearm, though stealing the spring from his left arm would disable his fusion cannon-retracting Automorph.

{{anchor|Premium}}
[[File:Premium Movie Megs.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|"Hey, I got a tan!"]]
*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
:Premium Megatron is a redeco of the previously released Leader Class Megatron. The figure is now given far more movie-accurate paint applications of black, gold, & silver. Premium Megatron also features the classic transformation sound when the chest Automorph function is activated. The original "metal shriek" sound is retained when the sound button is pressed in vehicle mode.

:In the promotional photos of the toy, this version was pictured with a new vehicle mode face cover that fit the new head better. However, this retool was apparently dropped before actual production but can still be seen on the box back photography. All manufacturing errors from the first release are still present.

:Unlike some of the early "Premium Series" toys, Premium Leader Megatron was mass-released at a variety of retailers, instead of being an exclusive to any particular store.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[File:Movie FAB Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Just back from filming ''Predator 3''.]]
*'''Fusion Blast Megatron''' ([[Fast Action Battlers|Fast Action Battler]], 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

:Fusion Blast Megatron is a simple version of Megatron with dorky-looking proportions in robot mode, and it turns into an even dorkier-looking vehicle mode. The transformation sequence manages to be even more simple and non-involved than the other ''Movie'' Megatron toys by means of an Automorph feature very similar to the early Beast Wars flipchangers. Moving his back section down causes the torso to flip up, hiding the head and positioning the arms skywards. Though the figure requires a little more repositioning and folding, most of the transformation is done with a single step.

:The figure's packaging depicts Megatron with a different head sculpt and silver paint instead of unpainted gray plastic.

:Available only at Jollibee fast food chains in the Philippines, this Megatron toy is functionally an upscaled version of his Legends class figure though with minor transformation differences. It also has a new head sculpt which is markedly more detailed than the Legends toy but still has the concept design head rather than the final version in the film.

*'''Megatron''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-02'''

:Megatron transforms from a reasonably accurate version of his movie robot mode to a reasonably accurate version of his tank mode (with a teeny extra Megatron face in his groin, without paint details probably to avoid creepiness). He has ball-jointed shoulders and hips in robot mode, plus elbow and knee joints. His alt mode turret is formed by merging his left and right arms, which is a neat callback to the first movie's fusion cannon, but means the turret can't rotate side to side, only pivot at the barrel.

:Several samples suffer from a disconnected lower left leg, which should be connected to the metal rod inside the upper leg. While the loose appendage cannot be repaired without extensive tooling, the upper leg is tight enough to prevent the leg from falling out during display or careful play. Speaking of legs, this Legends Class Megatron is somewhat prone to falling down with a light breeze of wind. The kibble on his robot mode back doesn't help the balancing at all.

:Megatron also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' EZ Collection sets. And like all first waves, He comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The second mainline ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Megatron toy is more slender than the larger Leader-Class Megatron, as it was based (more or less) on the finalized Megatron design, and as such, features a sleeker tank mode, a large lobster-claw like right arm and a normal-sized left arm. Unlike the larger toy, the Voyager's firing missile is located on the left arm, though the end is still sculpted to look like a set of fingers, and he also wears the entire top of the tank as a [[kibble]] backpack instead of having jet turbines like the Leader class toy. For some reason, he's also green (thankfully, less so than the stock image pictured here).

:He features two [[Mech Alive]] gimmicks. Turning his waist turns internal gears in his chest, while bending his right elbow makes a blade extend in and out of his claw.

:Both Megatron and the accompanying Jet Power Optimus Prime would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]]. Of amusement is the fact the comics are essentially showcasing toys that have been canceled.

====Leader Class toys====
[[File:ROTF Leader Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Beefcake!]]
*'''Megatron''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The first and largest ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Megatron toy is based on an earlier design for Megatron that differs slightly from the final CG model. This design is more bulky and hunchbacked than the final design, has a right arm with a shoulder pad that doubles as a bladed shield, and also has a very short and gimpy left arm. Like the Voyager Class toy, he also features feet that do not look like the CGI model, which has large two-toed feet formed by the tank treads rather than flat, clawed feet that resemble those of the first movie's design. Leaving the feet retracted creates a more movie-accurate appearance when the legs are viewed from the front (when viewed from the side, Megatron's legs look like stubs).

:The figure transforms into a Cybertronian tank, though it lacks the wings seen in the film and is also less streamlined. In robot mode, Megatron's entire lower right arm is a spring-loaded missile launcher and the tank turret's armour/shroud can be mechanically repositioned to partially cover the cannon, with flip-out sword blade, as seen in the early concept design. Due to the amount of [[gimmick]]ry involved, the right arm has no elbow.

:Pressing the Decepticon symbol-emblazoned button on his chest activates his light, [[Mech Alive]], and voice sound effects ("I am Megatron!"). The Mech Alive mechanics involve shaking his head to and fro while panels in his chest shudder. The European release (sold in the UK and non-English speaking countries) proclaims just simply "Megatron!" with laughter. After a month or two, the American release became available in the UK as well as the Canadian province of Quebec, while English Canada (which usually stocks the American release) somehow got the European version in some areas.

:Interestingly, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|while]] [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|other]] [[Demolishor (ROTF)|figures]] in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' line suffered mold simplifications from budget cuts, Megatron got mold ''additions''. Hasbro's stock pictures depict a vastly different and much smaller shield which lacks the outer claw prongs and has different detailing, and there is no evidence that the flip-down feet had been implemented at all. These late mold changes may have been done to slightly increase the toy's accuracy to his movie depiction and, in the case of the flip-down feet, to make Megatron look like he actually has ''feet'' rather than stubs to walk on.

**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Shadow Command Megatron, as the name suggests, is a mostly black redeco of Leader class Megatron, which much resembles the previous Fast Action Battlers ''Night Attack Megatron'' redeco. The figure sports more paint applications than the first release. The voice chip has been changed, instead of saying "I am Megatron!" like the initial release, it says "There is no command but mine!". The blast sound effect has also been changed to a laser sound, and a G1-esque sound effect plays when rotating Megatron's legs during transformation.

:Initial shipments of Shadow Command Megatron have a minor misassembly in his right shoulder that causes the laser sound effect to go off only when his arm is pointing backwards, as opposed to forward. It is fixable, but only after knocking out a pin.

**''Accessories'': Projectile

:A much simpler version of Megatron, this figure transforms by putting his arms behind his back and folding in half at the waist, more or less. His right arm has a spring-launched missile fired via a switch on the side, as well a soft plastic blade that can be folded out. Twisting the figure's right arm produces a chopping action. Due to the weird design of the feet and weight distribution, Megatron is difficult to stand up unless he is hunched forward.

:[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander Class Megatron is an abbreviated version of his Voyager counterpart, transforming into a single piece fuel tanker. The fuel tank splits in half, forming hand-held double cannons which then can be combined into a large cannon. The [[C joint]] mounting clip of the fuel tank is on a swivel, allowing the large cannon to be mounted onto the smokestacks and used in vehicle mode. His head is also on a pivot joint, allowing him to look up and down.

:Care must be taken while forming the rear cabin: The instructions tell you to fold the feet panels up after transforming the legs first, but it will cause some slight stress marks on the feet panels/smokestacks' joints. We recommend folding the panels up first while the legs are still separated.

*'''Megatron''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Fusion Cannon]], tarp/cape

:Megatron now transforms into a <s>disfigured Mad Max truck</s> officially licensed Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and trailer, although it lacks many of the features in the movie, such as the spikes on the roof and the rope mesh on the hood. The forward half of the trailer-mounted oil tank converts into Megatron's [[MechTech]] Blaster, which in turn converts into a Fusion Cannon when the ladder is pushed in. Like all MechTech Voyager toys, his weapon can lock into this mode by pushing the ladder all the way in and rotating it to the right. Megatron has six MechTech [[5mm post]]/MechTech ports in vehicle mode, including three on his MechTech weapon, two on the steps below the truck cab doors, and a self-covering port (which automatically fills in the hole when a weapon is not inserted) on the roof. Though the truck cab and its "trailer" are a single entity that cannot be separated, Megatron does have an articulation joint between where the trailer and cab connect where the fifth wheel hitch would be, despite being formed from his independently-jointed legs.

:The rubbery tarp over the tanker is a two piece affair, with a detachable 'hood' accessory that slots into a port beside Megatron's neck. This deliberately obscures Megatron's badly mutilated face, a callback to the injuries he received at the climax of ''Revenge of the Fallen''. In [[robot mode]], two more MechTech ports become available on his legs, and two on the truck steps end up on his arms; all other MechTech ports from vehicle mode are still usable. Megatron's fusion cannon can even be mounted on his back, like in the movie, thanks to the truck's cab (and associated MechTech port) winding up on his back. Care should be taken when transforming the shoulders, as the tiny Mack dog hood ornament is prone to being snapped off by the shifting black bumper section. It is also quite difficult to get his chest to tab into his shoulder panels due to his arms getting in the way, and his already short pegs having to tab into very shallow holes.

:Megatron is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:The gun from the Evasion Mode Optimus Prime toy, released several years after, is intended to be compatible with this figure-not only is it sculpted to resemble the shotgun Megs used (twice) in the movie, a tab on the handle (not the post that was supposed to be the handle for ''Age of Extinction'' Optimus) allows him to wield it properly by slotting onto a slot on his hand. It even has 5mm posts on its side so that it can mount in movie-accurate fashion on his back!

''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' Megatron replaces all of the pale brown and most of the light gray plastic with dark metallic olive-green, replaces the remaining gray plastic (including his tarp/cape) with a cooler shade, switches out the black for his wheels with dark brown, and redecoes his translucent red plastic into clear colorless plastic. Among other minor deco changes, he replaces the pale brown paint on his wheels and toolboxes/forearms with tan, features a silver-painted MechTech weapon, tanker, and front bumpers, and has some additional reddish "rust" paint details.

:Part of the second wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, Galvatron transforms into a 2012 Freightliner Argosy. Given that it would be impossible to emulate his on-screen transformation, he is a ''complete'' [[Shellformer|shell-former]], with his truck mode folding up solely along his back and calves. As with Evasion Optimus Prime, he has a different paint scheme than seen on his packaging, with fewer paint applications on his body and weapon. His cannon can either be held like a gun or fitted on his hand in a way that appears as if it is coming out of his arm.

:Galvatron's package is the only packaging in the Age of Extinction toyline thus far that neglects to mention what his alternate mode is called. The only mention of Freightliner being involved with his alternate mode is in the tiny copyright information section of the box.

:The ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' version adds some additional paint applications for a more screen-accurate look, most notably, a darker face with yellowish-red eyes. This mold was later retooled into JD.com exclusive [[JD Red Knight]].

:"Mission to Cybertron" Megatron is a redeco/new head retool of [[Megatron_(G1)/toys#Deluxe|''Generations Thrilling 30'' Megatron]] (and also the first Deluxe Class Movie Megatron toy that is not a [[Fast Action Battler]]), featuring a new head based on his appearance in the movie, albeit in a ''Generation 1''-ish style. He transforms from robot into Don Figueroa's stealth bomber design from IDW Publishing's ''[[The Transformers (IDW)|The Transformers]]'' ongoing series (which resembles a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit). In robot mode, his wingtips detach to combine and transform into his fusion cannon. The cannon can peg into 5mm ports on his hands and forearms. Many figures were erroneously released with [[Quality control|two left fists]]. The instructions still depict his original mold's head.

:As with most "Mission to Cybertron" figures, Megatron features Cyberglyphics on both sides of the wings/fusion cannon, which translate to his own name. He also comes with a card, with the glyphs being decoded as "ENERGON", while the back features a piece (which includes Megatron) for the 6-part "Mission to Cybertron" poster.

:The figure also saw release in Japan, also as a Toys"R"Us exclusive, without any changes from the American release. This mold was also used to make ''Generations'' [[Dreadwing (G2)#Generations|Dreadwing]] and ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Krok (G1)#Timelines|Krok]].

:Released in the second wave of ''Premier Edition'' Voyagers, Megatron is a new mold which transforms from robot to Cybertronian jet. It is armed with a weapon resembling the [http://www.higgins-collection.org/artifacts/1605 Ikakalaka] weapon, and it can be stored on the robot's back which also can end up under the cockpit in jet mode if left place, or may be stored on the jet's top. It also features a non-removable fusion cannon on the right forearm. While the figure appears nearly black in promotional images, it's actually a metallic graphite gray with darker gunmetal gray paint applications. As with the other TLK Megatron figure, this one lacks the red facial "scar" from the film, but has red light piping in the eyes, forehead... and neck! The jet mode cockpit is also cast in transparent red. The port on the robot back/jet undercarriage is compatible with most figure flight stands. The jet mode lacks any sort of landing gear. There is a minor variant, in regards to the Decepticon symbol. While the stock photos and vast majority of the release feature the Decepticon symbol as it appears with its movie styling, some copies have been found sporting the traditional Decepticon logo, with the difference being in the eyes.

:Some stock photos depict Megatron's sword handle as being an unpainted red, however the final release and later stock photos have it the same color as the rest of the sword. The stock renders also depict the sword's bladed section and several body details being painted silver.

:The figure saw release in Japan as a Toys"R"Us exclusive. As with most Wave 2 Deluxes and Voyagers, Megatron's release was delayed in some territories, leading to [[scalping]] on the aftermarket.

:Part of the first wave of ''Premier Edition'' Leader Class figures, Megatron changes from Cybertronian jet to robot and back. He includes a large sword-axe which can store on his back in robot mode, and on the top of his jet in his vehicle form. In addition, he also comes with two flame effects which can plug into his turbine exhausts in jet mode or his arm-mounted fusion cannon in robot mode. On the back of his head there is a lever that can be pulled up to rotate a portion of his head, and close in the tusks to form his battle mask. In jet mode, he has an opening cockpit and his nosecone can be opened up to expose the fusion cannon by the push of a button right behind the cockpit. Because this action is spring-loaded and the two halves of the nosecone are made of soft plastic, it does not hold together well.

:Of all the Megatron toys above, this Leader Class figure bears the largest jet mode in the lineup.

:His battle axe was redecoed as a promotional campaign, which used gold chrome.

====Studio Series====
[[File:StudioSeries-13-MV2-Voyager-Megatron.jpg|thumb|350px|Har, har, you bought ''Movie the Best'' Voyager Megatron didn't ya?]]
* '''Megatron''' (Voyager Class, [[2018]])
**''ID Number:'' '''13'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-11'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[July 28]], 2018'''
**''Accessories:'' "Forest Battle" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Megatron is an all-new Voyager Class mold that transforms into a Cybertronian tank and is generally more accurate to his appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. It features a flip-out sword for his [[death-lock pincer]] as well as side turrets for his tank mode (which weren't featured in the film itself, but found on many promotional images of his alt mode). The figure also includes a cardboard backdrop depicting the climatic forest battle in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:A common problem faced by this mold is the easy-to-fall-off lower rear leg panels (which is due to the short molded pegs), which remove themselves from the figure at almost any slight provocation. Another complaint about this mold is that, due to transformation, Megatron is left with a glaringly hollow robot mode if viewed straight-on from the sides; this problem can be somewhat rectified by gently forcing the turrets downward.

:While some [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]] painted samples show Megatron with a dark, metallic color scheme, the final product features light grey plastic. Likewise, the CG stock render depicts Megatron having brighter & dull gold parts instead of the final product's bronze, and his pair of turrets is depicted as being molded in black paint.

:Unsurprisingly, the [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/1/16/20180531120445%21StudioSeries-13-MV2-Voyager-Megatron.jpg stock photo] featured on many websites isn't fully transformed in the feet (making them look long and flat). As shown in the accurately-transformed figure to the right, his toes have the capability to split in two, the back half of the foot must be folded down for accuracy, and the kibble that forms his face-guard in tank mode helps balance the feet out. Speaking of feet: the small wheel on Megatron's right foot in the CG stock render is molded in the same light gray color, while his left foot's wheel is molded in the same color as the treads.

**''Accessories:'' "[[Operation: Firestorm|Pyramid Desert Battle]]" backdrop
:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', this ''Studio Series'' Megatron is a redeco/retool of the figure above, featuring a metallic shade of plastic with some paint wash details, multiple parts casted in a very dark grey plastic, and a new damaged head which is shot by Jetpower Optimus Prime in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. The figure also includes a cardboard backdrop depicting the [[Operation: Firestorm]] desert battle in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:The figure is first stocked by a couple Hong Kong online shops without any prior announcement from Hasbro. In March, the [http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=169340646 figure is listed in Toys"R"Us Canada's online store]. The figure is eventually listed as a Target exclusive in the US.

*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, [[2019]])
**''ID Number:'' '''34'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-27'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 23]], 2019'''
**''Accessories:'' Cloak, chains, shotgun, [[Igor]] minifigure, "[[Namibia|Serengeti Hideout]]" backdrop
:This ''Studio Series'' Megatron is an all-new Leader Class mold that transforms into a Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and is accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'' complete with a new cloak accessory and chains. He also comes with a shotgun, a minifigure of [[Igor]], and a cardboard backdrop display depicting the Decepticon camp in [[Namibia]], [[Africa]]. For some reason, the Hasbro stock photos includes [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire's]] cane, yet Jetfire's photos did not. Additionally, the Igor figure can plug into small pegs behind his head in robot mode.

:Care should be taken when tabbing in his shotgun to his hand as the gunmetal paint on the handle can chip or rub off. The shotgun is actually molded in beige plastic and then completely coated with gunmetal and silver paint for increased screen-accuracy.

:It can be difficult to get enough clearance in truck mode for the cab's rear wheels to roll freely, as the chest pieces hang very low to the ground when in alternate mode. In addition, due to the sheer length of the truck mode and the internal forces from plastic tolerances, it can be difficult to get all ten wheels on the ground at once.

:The rubber chains take a bit of stretching to properly attach. Some orientations are easier to hook on than others, and the order of operations can also make it easier or harder to get all four eyelets hooked in place. As a result of the transformation, the truck cab is noticeably hollow, and cannot pivot at the trailer connection.

*'''Megatron''' (Tiny Turbo Changer, 2018)
**''Series'' '''4'''
**''Bag Code'': '''N'''
:Released in Series 4 of [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Megatron is a new mold based off his appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' and as such changes into a (very) rough interpretation of his Cybertronian tank alternate form. He features articulation in his cannon arm, but not his standard arm. His torso features a hinge through the top of his torso that is not used in his transformation and allows his whole upper body to split in half, but otherwise has no purpose.

**''Japanese release date'': '''TBA'''
**''Accessories'': [[Fusion cannon]], chain whip, [[AllSpark#Masterpiece Movie Series|AllSpark]], chest piece, left and right hand

:This new [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|''Masterpiece Movie Series'']] figure of Megatron is all-new complex film-accurate mold, and for the first time in ''years'' is based on his appearance in the 2007 film rather than the sequels. He transforms into a cybertronian jet as seen in the first film, and further representing that form, either of his hands can be detached for the included chain whip to mount between the wrist and base of the palm. Both hands can also detach for the fusion cannon barrel to mount on the wrists and the barrel can transform into a handheld rifle that he can wield. To implicate his death scene, a panel in the center of his chest can be removed to place the included mini AllSpark cube inside his torso.

:In terms of height, Megatron stood a bit shorter than [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MasterpieceMegs|MP-5]] in Robot Mode.

==Merchandise==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Lunchables====
* '''Megatron''' ("Pocket Transformers" toy prize, 2007)

: A sort of "pseudo-figure" of Megatron cast in dark gray plastic, Megatron "transforms" from a flat structure emblazoned with the Decepticon symbol and the word "Transformers" to a robot by folding out. Megatron is represented by stickers decorated with artwork of the character on the top, bottom, and two fold out "arms". Said artwork is based on earlier promotional artwork of Megatron, and thus features a different head than the finalized version. His name is also spelled out across his feet in this mode.

: This mold was also used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Blackout (Movie)#Lunchables|Blackout]] and [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Lunchables|Starscream]]. A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Lunchables|Optimus]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#Lunchables|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/merchandise#Lunchables|Bumblebee]], though with the Autobot symbol sculpted in instead of the Decepticon one. Each iteration of this mold was made with a different color of plastic.

====Robot Fighters Game====
*'''Optimus Prime vs. Megatron''' (2007)

:Megatron comes packaged along with Optimus in a toy set that allows both figures to be strapped to their separate bases, and subsequently be controlled by two players, making them punch and kick one another via knobs that can be twisted and turned to make the characters perform different moves. Megatron's body is slightly simplified and features articulation at the shoulders and hip joints. A sort of update on the classic "Rock'em Sock'em Robots" game. The figures can also be separated from the base for fun on the go!

: Megatron is a 53-point "Rare" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from plastic cards, he can be assembled into either his robot mode or alien jet mode. His card construction was reused for the enigmatic [[Sky Lynx (Energon Wars)|Sky Lynx]] card in the game's "Energon Wars" expansion.

====Battling Robots Bubble Bath====
*'''Megatron''' (2007)
[[File:Megatron bubblebath.jpg|120px|thumb|"This is why I hate merchandising."]]
:Megatron's torso attaches to the bottle of bubble bath. His elbows bend, and his arms have a punching gimmick, to allow him to battle the forces of good. Pushing a lever on either side makes the respective fist punch forward. He's removable, though not as easily held without the bottle below his waist. Like many pieces of Megatron merchandise, this "figure" uses the older head design with blue eyes. The blue eyes are also the only spot of paint on him, unlike the elaborately decoed Prime.
{{-}}

====Burger King====
*'''Megatron''' Burger King free toy (2007)
:A non-transformable version of Megatron, cast primarily in gray plastic. The toy's entire "gimmick" is that both arms rotate at the shoulder. Due to the strict [[For safety reasons|protocols]] of making a fast food premium, Megatron's sharp and deadly design was forced to be smoothed out. This had the unfortunate effect of making his sculpted details meld together and looking less like a killer robot and more like a melted clay man. The toy ''appears'' to use the earlier head render of Megatron's, but due to the vague detail and paint job, may also not be.

:The toy also comes with a purple plastic Decepticon base and a lenticular motion card with a surprising amount of frames of animation. These two pieces may in fact be the better part of the package.

*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Fusion Cannon
:As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of Megatron is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, though the elbows only turn from side-to-side, giving him extremely limited arm articulation. His forearms can be replaced with his fusion cannon accessory (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins).

: Rise of Megatron has a pull-back motor and can "transform" between flying tank and robot modes, both of which are quite inaccurate. The tank mode lacks a cannon, while the robot mode lacks legs for purposes of the toy's own gimmick. Megatron's robot mode torso also looks quite deformed and odd compared to the CG model in the movie, with features such as a round mouth, huge arms, and symmetrical (huge) shoulders.

Pressing the various Decepticon symbol buttons activates battle phrases, sound effects and light-up eyes, although for the European release, almost all of the battle phrases were cut in order to avoid language barriers (except for the occasional nonsensical utterance of "Decepticon!" and "Megatron!" among a huge, long string of blasting noises).

:This non-transformable Megatron action figure was ''supposed'' to be very movie-accurate, but is actually a combination of the bulkier, earlier design used for his Leader class toy and the more slender final design used for the Voyager class toy. Although his arms are normal-sized and the right arm has the "lobster claw" seen in the final design, Megatron appears hunchbacked due to the fact that he has no neck (though not to the same extent as the Leader class toy).

:Strangley, the head sculpt of this figure is reused on the Stealth Force version of the character.

Amusingly, because of the tank mode featuring Megatron's face, he ends up with two faces in "robot mode".

*'''Chromia vs Megatron''' (2009)
:Part of the third wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen''-themed ''Robot Heroes'', this figurine of Megatron depicts him in mid-transformation between robot and tank modes, which is based on an unused concept art. He has articulation at the neck, shoulders, and waist. "[[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]" comes packaged with him. Humorously, his Leader Class figure can achieve this "mode".

:''Speed Stars'' "Robot Riders" Megatron is a metallic bronze and purple redeco of the new-mold robot mode figure originally planned for release in the ''RPM'' line. Though officially listed on the back of the ''Speed Stars'' "Robot Riders" Sideswipe and seen on a digital poster on the ''Speed Stars'' website, it never came out in any market.

:"Road Assault" Megatron was listed on the back of ''Speed Stars'' "Road Assault" Starscream, but was never depicted anywhere. Since the rest of the Road Assault Series was based on the cancelled ''RPM'' "Allspark Series", it's likely that it was to have been a redeco of the "Robot Riders" mold.

**''Accessories:'' Missile

: Part of the "Stealth Force" subline, this Megatron also has no robot mode, but makes up for it with a number of hidden weapons that flip out of his tank mode at the press of a button. His tank turret can fire a missile, while all the hidden weapons are non-firing.

:While not having a robot mode, this is the only toy in the Stealth Force line to have a robot head. Strangely, the head sculpt used on the front of his tank mode is the same sculpt used for the [[Robot Replicas]] release of Megatron.

[[File:G1 boxart Springer.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I've got better things to do tonight than look like me in the show!]]

'''Springer''' tends to suffer from the difficulty of engineering a fully-functional triple-changing toy.

{{TOCclear}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[File:SpringerG1Toy.JPG|thumb|Three totally different modes]]
*'''Springer''' (1986/1991)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-84'''
**''Accessories'': "Light saber" rotor blade, "laser" rifle

:Springer was one of three Autobot [[Triple Changer]]s. He transforms from a robot to a futuristic armored car to a helicopter that doesn't look terribly different from the car. In [[robot mode]], his articulation is limited entirely to his arms. His copter rotor blades snap together to form a [[sword]].

:Very early releases of Springer had a [[die-cast]] metal chestplate which was then changed to plastic in subsequent releases. When he was released in the European [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] line in 1991, he retained the plastic chest.
::*''[http://www.tfu.info/1986/Autobot/Springer/springer.htm More information on Springer at TFU.info]''
{{-}}

===Timelines===
[[File:Springerbotcontoy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Suffers from vestigial JaAm cravings.]]
*'''Springer''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Sword, silver-bordered green [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]-style Autobot [[Cyber Key]]

:Sold together in a bag with [[Huffer (G1)#Timelines|Huffer]] and their instructions, keys, and bio cards, ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Springer is a ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-themed [[BotCon 2007]] attendee exclusive. A paint-heavy green and grey [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#CyCDF|Cybertron Defense Hot Shot]], Springer transforms into a modified {{w|M1117 Armored Security Vehicle|M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle}}. When Springer's Cyber Key is inserted into the back of the turret, the two gun barrels open up into dual (non-firing) missile launchers. Compartments on his shoulders and his thighs can also open up to reveal additional missile launchers. He also comes with a dagger that stows between his legs and sort-of acts as an exhaust pipe in vehicle mode; when he's in robot mode, the dagger can be hand-held via [[5mm post]], pegged into the front of his fist, or stored in a sheath on his leg. The same sheath can be used to store his Cyber Key in vehicle mode.

:Springer is assembled differently from the other uses of this mold. The panels covering the missile racks on each shoulder are swapped, finally following the assembly shown in the [[instructions]].

:The mold was later used as ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Roadbuster (G1)#Universe (2008)|Roadbuster]] in the [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] Autobot Ambush Comic 2-Pack. It also served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Hardhead (BWN)|Hard Head]].

===Universe (2008)===
[[File:Universe2008 Springer comicpack toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Whatever happened to the whole Triple Changer angle? And no, [[attack mode]]s don't count.]]
*'''Standoff Beneath the Streets''' (Voyager-Deluxe Comic two-pack, 2008)
**''Series'': '''War Within Series'''
**''Accessories'': Two "plasma rockets", "spinning [[energon]] blades"/rotor blades, Autobot [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]-style [[Cyber Key]]

:A Target-exclusive redeco of ''Cybertron'' [[Evac (Cybertron)#Voyager|Evac]], ''Universe'' Springer transforms into a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Eurocopter Dauphin|Eurocopter Dauphin rescue helicopter]]. His "energon blades"/rotor blades spin using a geared push-button, and become a spinning-blade weapon mounted on his robot mode's left arm. He has an [[Retractable string gimmick|adjustable winch]], which retracts with the push of a button: this gimmick ends up on his right robot mode arm. Inserting a Cyber Key into his back end (backpack in robot mode) swings around a pair of spring-loaded "plasma rocket launchers"/[[missile]] launchers. His (conveniently color-coded) red Cyber Key is unpainted, save for its silver Autobot symbol. He was available only with [[Ratbat (G1)#Universe (2008)|Ratbat]].

:His [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] has both of his modes flipped.

:Packaging Springer with Ratbat is an [[homage]] to their rivalry in ''[[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|The Dark Ages]]''. Likewise, Springer's deco is directly inspired by his color layout in ''The Dark Ages'', down to the blue "cockpit" painted on his chest, and that he does not have three modes (yet). This connection is further enhanced by having Ratbat possess a humanoid robot mode and jet-like altmode. See [[#Dreamwave Generation One continuity|above]].

:In its first release in Canada, the set did not include a comic (in spite of the ''INCLUDES COMIC!'' marking on the package), and in the US, the set included the ''wrong'' comic. Instead of a reprint of "[[Target: 2006]]" parts [[Target: 2006#Wreck and Rule!|5]] and [[Target: 2006#The Devil You Know...|6]], which was meant for the "Autobot Ambush" Deluxe-Voyager two-pack of [[Roadbuster (G1)#Universe (2008)|Roadbuster]] and [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Dirge]], the right comic was to be ''The Dark Ages'' issue "[[Escalation]]", which was similarly and erroneously included with the "Autobot Ambush" two-pack.

:This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Blades (G1)#Universe (2008)|Blades]] and ''Timelines/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Megatron (SG)#Galvatron|Galvatron]].

**''Collection'': '''1'''
**''Bag number'': '''22851 42'''
**''Accessories'': Logo block, 2 swords

: Part of the first normal wave of [[Micro-Changer]] [[Kreon]]s, Springer is a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]]-bagged mini-figure, though a stamped ID number can be found on the back of the bag, top-right corner. He comes with extra parts to turn him into a helicopter.

:He uses the [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] helmet.

:What with being a brick-figure, one could borrow the necessary parts from another Kreon to make him into a car.

{{anchor|2016}}
* '''Autobot Springer''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
**''Collection'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Logo plate, 2 swords

:In 2016, Collection 1 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Springer's torso and face [[tampograph]]s have also been reworked to be slightly more detailed, and the formerly-bare legs now have extra detail tampographing on them. His light gray paint has been replaced with shiny silver.

:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

===Generations===
====GDO====
[[File:GenerationsGDOtoy Springer.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Now we just need a Voyager Class ground mode Springer to keep things even.]]
*'''Autobot Springer''' (Deluxe, 2012)
**''Accessories'': Left & right missile launchers, two missiles, sword

:An Asian market exclusive, ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Springer is a redeco and [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] [[Tomahawk (TF 2010)|Tomahawk]], with a new head and sword. He transforms into a slightly futuristic strike helicopter with a rotating camera array under its cockpit, sporting an amalgamation of features from both the {{w|Eurocopter Tiger}} and the ADH-02 Hellhound attack helicopter from ''{{w|Patlabor}}''. He comes with spring-loaded missile launchers that mount under his wings. In robot mode, he is armed with "snapping pincers" on his right forearm, while his missile launchers end up over his shoulders. They can also be detached and held in his hands via 5mm post, or clipped onto the mini-guns on his wings or onto his forearms using the [[C joint]] system. The new sword can be held at the handle, or be held via the two [[Mini-Con]]-compatible posts on its hilt. The sword has no dedicated spot to store in either mode, and has to use the one of the mounting points on the wings where the launchers usually store, meaning one of these launchers has to mount via C joint instead.

:Springer was originally only to be released as part of a big block of toys, referred to as "GDO" (Global Development Organization), which were originally developed [[exclusive]]ly for release in China and other Hasbro Asia markets. However, [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] picked up those figures, including Springer, as part of a ''massive'' group of ''Transformers'' exclusives for US market release, just in time for the 2012 holiday shopping season.

:The original version of this sculpt was [[retool]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Vortex (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Vortex]], and redecoed (but with Vortex's head) into ''Timelines'' [[Spinister (G1)#Timelines|Spinister]].

[[File:TF-Generations-TG21-Springer.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|''(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)'']]
*'''Autobot Springer''' (Voyager, 2013)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / 001'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TG21'''
**''Accessories'': Dual missile launcher, two missiles, rotor blades/sword

: Part of the third wave of [[2012]]-[[2013]] ''Generations'' Voyager Class toys, '[[Thrilling 30]]' "Autobot Springer" is based on [[Nick Roche]]'s design of the character from ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]'', and is a Triple Changer, transforming into both an armored car and a helicopter. Yup.

:His helicopter rotors detach to transform into a sword that is held by his hands via 5mm post, and can store underneath his car mode or on his back in robot mode. He also comes with a dual missile launcher that fires its two missiles in succession via a two-step pressure launch. The launcher features a jointed 5mm handle to allow it to pivot, and can mount underneath the helicopter cockpit. He has two 5mm ports on his back, the sword hilt has an additional post, and the launcher has additional ports at the top and bottom. There are reports that the second 5mm port on his back is incorrectly sized and the rotor of his helicopter mode can't be correctly plugged into it the way the picture shows. Springer's head is also ''extremely'' prone to detaching when being switched between robot and vehicle mode.

:The Japanese release of Springer features some differences in plastic colors, including a duller shade of yellow and a uniform silver color replacing the Western release's light and dark grays. He also has green feet.

:This mold was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Cloud|Hot Rodimus]], retooled into [[BotCon 2015]] [[Battletrap#Timelines|Battletrap]], and extensively [[retool]]ed into 'Thrilling 30' [[Sandstorm (G1)#Voyager|Sandstorm]]. This mold also served as the basis of the non-toy ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' incarnations of [[Dinobot (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Dynobot]] and [[Grimlock (G1)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Grimlock]].

*'''Autobot Heroes''' (5-pack, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Springer's weapons (dual missile launcher, two missiles, rotor blades/sword), Arcee's weapons (2 swords), Kup's "laser musket" rifle/exhaust pipe, Ultra Magnus' 2 guns, Blurr's weapons (Sniper rifle, left & right pistols), Minimus Ambus figure
:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', "Autobot Springer" is a redeco of his ''Thrilling 30'' Voyager Class toy, featuring additional colors and some metallic paint operations on his parts.

: Springer's new deco is similar, but not [[show-accuracy|visibly identical]] to his ''Generation 1'' color scheme. Unfortunately, the addition of a second shade of green results in mismatched colors across his parts, most conspicuously having biceps colored both gray and green. Early [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicting a hand-painted [[prototype]] featured gray colored hands, although the actual released figure's hands are cast in green plastic, which is also reflected by the later stock photos that depict a production sample. For unknown reasons, the window piece that ends up on his left forearm in robot mode is lacking the green paint for the frame underneath the window, compared to its counterpart on the right forearm.

:Springer was released as part of 5-pack with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Ultra Magnus]] (including [[Minimus Ambus#Platinum Edition|Minimus Ambus]]), [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Arcee]], [[Kup (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Sergeant Kup]], and [[Blurr (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Blurr]]. The set also included a recreation of the theatrical poster for the 1986 movie. In the United States, this set was officially a [[Target]] exclusive, but was only available via the company's website, never sold in stores. It was also released in Singapore, although it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not. In Canada, it was available via the Canadian [[Walmart]] website but never found in stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was available via the UK [[Toys"R"Us]] website and in some stores. In Spain, it was available via the Spanish subsidiaries of both [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés, supposedly also only available online. In Germany, it was available via retailer Real and specialty store Rappelkiste Ahlen, also only available online.

**''Accessories:'' 2 "W-10 Airslice Chopper Blades," "JF-10 Warp Blaster," "C-10 EM Void Blast Capacitor," rotor blade base (combine to form the "D.E.W. Mega Missile Launcher")
:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Autobot Springer is an all-new, cartoon-accurate mold that transforms from robot, to car or helicopter. He includes four weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], two "W-10 Airslice Chopper Blades," which are two swords that turns into rotor blades, and the "JF-10 Warp Blaster" and "C-10 EM Void Blast Capacitor," two blasters. All four weapons can mount on the rotor blade base and form the "D.E.W. Mega Missile Launcher." Springer also features "battle damage" paint applications on his front shoulders, chest, and legs, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

Springer is capable of being disassembled and having his limbs swapped out with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure. The figure takes a few specific design cues from the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' Springer toy, such as wheels in the calves and slotted shoulders.

:An extensive redeco of the ''Generations'' Springer toy. Unlike the previous Japanese ''Generations'' release, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Sprung features a more animation-accurate color scheme. Two shades of green replace the single shade of the ''Generations'' release, with the lighter green replacing the yellow on Springer's chest. His thighs and fists are a light olive green-gray color. He comes with [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 19|volume 19]] of ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Transformers Legends: Bonus Edition]]''.

:Some promotional images used a more subdued shade of green instead of the bright one.

==Notes==
*The Hasbro design team chose the ''Cybertron'' Evac mold for ''Universe'' Springer because the BotCon 2007 version already had the ground vehicle [[alternate mode]] of the original covered, and they wanted to give some attention to the original's helicopter mode.
*Fun Publications' [[Jesse Wittenrich]] used an unwanted [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' Springer]] to come up with ''Shattered Glass'' Galvatron.
*When asked at [[BotCon 2016]] what toy concept he most regretted not being able to do, [[Pete Sinclair]] stated that he wanted a ''Shattered Glass'' Rodimus toy out of [[Springer (G1)/toys#Voyager|''Generations'' Springer]].<ref>[http://tformers.com/botcon-2016-botcon-over-the-years-the-last-panel-of-the-last-botcon/28965/news.html BotCon 2016 report by RAC]</ref>
**Likewise, the mold was initially mulled as ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] for BotCon 2016.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/PetesRoboCon/photos/pcb.559345394409351/559344184409472/?type=3&theater</ref>

'''Springer''' tends to suffer from the difficulty of engineering a fully-functional triple-changing toy.

{{TOCclear}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[File:SpringerG1Toy.JPG|thumb|Three totally different modes]]
*'''Springer''' (1986/1991)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-84'''
**''Accessories'': "Light saber" rotor blade, "laser" rifle

:Springer was one of three Autobot [[Triple Changer]]s. He transforms from a robot to a futuristic armored car to a helicopter that doesn't look terribly different from the car. In [[robot mode]], his articulation is limited entirely to his arms. His copter rotor blades snap together to form a [[sword]].

:Very early releases of Springer had a [[die-cast]] metal chestplate which was then changed to plastic in subsequent releases. When he was released in the European [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] line in 1991, he retained the plastic chest.

===Timelines===
[[File:Springerbotcontoy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Suffers from vestigial JaAm cravings.]]
*'''Springer''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Sword, silver-bordered green [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]-style Autobot [[Cyber Key]]

:Sold together in a bag with [[Huffer (G1)#Timelines|Huffer]] and their instructions, keys, and bio cards, ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Springer is a ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-themed [[BotCon 2007]] attendee exclusive. A paint-heavy green and grey [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#CyCDF|Cybertron Defense Hot Shot]], Springer transforms into a modified {{w|M1117 Armored Security Vehicle|M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle}}. When Springer's Cyber Key is inserted into the back of the turret, the two gun barrels open up into dual (non-firing) missile launchers. Compartments on his shoulders and his thighs can also open up to reveal additional missile launchers. He also comes with a dagger that stows between his legs and sort-of acts as an exhaust pipe in vehicle mode; when he's in robot mode, the dagger can be hand-held via [[5mm post]], pegged into the front of his fist, or stored in a sheath on his leg. The same sheath can be used to store his Cyber Key in vehicle mode.

:Springer is assembled differently from the other uses of this mold. The panels covering the missile racks on each shoulder are swapped, finally following the assembly shown in the [[instructions]].

:The mold was later used as ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Roadbuster (G1)#Universe (2008)|Roadbuster]] in the [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] Autobot Ambush Comic 2-Pack. It also served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Hardhead (BWN)|Hard Head]].

===Universe (2008)===
[[File:Universe2008 Springer comicpack toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Whatever happened to the whole Triple Changer angle? And no, [[attack mode]]s don't count.]]
*'''Standoff Beneath the Streets''' (Voyager-Deluxe Comic two-pack, 2008)
**''Series'': '''War Within Series'''
**''Accessories'': Two "plasma rockets", "spinning [[energon]] blades"/rotor blades, Autobot [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]-style [[Cyber Key]]

:A Target-exclusive redeco of ''Cybertron'' [[Evac (Cybertron)#Voyager|Evac]], ''Universe'' Springer transforms into a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Eurocopter Dauphin|Eurocopter Dauphin rescue helicopter]]. His "energon blades"/rotor blades spin using a geared push-button, and become a spinning-blade weapon mounted on his robot mode's left arm. He has an [[Retractable string gimmick|adjustable winch]], which retracts with the push of a button: this gimmick ends up on his right robot mode arm. Inserting a Cyber Key into his back end (backpack in robot mode) swings around a pair of spring-loaded "plasma rocket launchers"/[[missile]] launchers. His (conveniently color-coded) red Cyber Key is unpainted, save for its silver Autobot symbol. He was available only with [[Ratbat (G1)#Universe (2008)|Ratbat]].

:His [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] has both of his modes flipped.

:Packaging Springer with Ratbat is an [[homage]] to their rivalry in ''[[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|The Dark Ages]]''. Likewise, Springer's deco is directly inspired by his color layout in ''The Dark Ages'', down to the blue "cockpit" painted on his chest, and that he does not have three modes (yet). This connection is further enhanced by having Ratbat possess a humanoid robot mode and jet-like altmode. See [[#Dreamwave Generation One continuity|above]].

:In its first release in Canada, the set did not include a comic (in spite of the ''INCLUDES COMIC!'' marking on the package), and in the US, the set included the ''wrong'' comic. Instead of a reprint of "[[Target: 2006]]" parts [[Target: 2006#Wreck and Rule!|5]] and [[Target: 2006#The Devil You Know...|6]], which was meant for the "Autobot Ambush" Deluxe-Voyager two-pack of [[Roadbuster (G1)#Universe (2008)|Roadbuster]] and [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Dirge]], the right comic was to be ''The Dark Ages'' issue "[[Escalation]]", which was similarly and erroneously included with the "Autobot Ambush" two-pack.

:This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Blades (G1)#Universe (2008)|Blades]] and ''Timelines/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Megatron (SG)#Galvatron|Galvatron]].

* '''Autobot Springer''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2012/2015)
**''Collection'': '''1'''
**''Bag number'': '''22851 42'''
**''Accessories'': Logo block, 2 swords

: Part of the first normal wave of [[Micro-Changer]] [[Kreon]]s, Springer is a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]]-bagged mini-figure, though a stamped ID number can be found on the back of the bag, top-right corner. He comes with extra parts to turn him into a helicopter.

:He uses the [[Hound (Kre-O)|Hound]] helmet.

:What with being a brick-figure, one could borrow the necessary parts from another Kreon to make him into a car.

* '''Autobot Springer''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
**''Collection'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Logo plate, 2 swords

:In 2016, Collection 1 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Springer's torso and face [[tampograph]]s have also been reworked to be slightly more detailed, and the formerly-bare legs now have extra detail tampographing on them. His light gray paint has been replaced with shiny silver.

:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

===Generations===
====GDO====
[[File:GenerationsGDOtoy Springer.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Now we just need a Voyager Class ground mode Springer to keep things even.]]
*'''Autobot Springer''' (Deluxe, 2012)
**''Accessories'': Left & right missile launchers, two missiles, sword

:An Asian market exclusive, ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Springer is a redeco and [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] [[Tomahawk (TF 2010)|Tomahawk]], with a new head and sword. He transforms into a slightly futuristic strike helicopter with a rotating camera array under its cockpit, sporting an amalgamation of features from both the {{w|Eurocopter Tiger}} and the ADH-02 Hellhound attack helicopter from ''{{w|Patlabor}}''. He comes with spring-loaded missile launchers that mount under his wings. In robot mode, he is armed with "snapping pincers" on his right forearm, while his missile launchers end up over his shoulders. They can also be detached and held in his hands via 5mm post, or clipped onto the mini-guns on his wings or onto his forearms using the [[C joint]] system. The new sword can be held at the handle, or be held via the two [[Mini-Con]]-compatible posts on its hilt. The sword has no dedicated spot to store in either mode, and has to use the one of the mounting points on the wings where the launchers usually store, meaning one of these launchers has to mount via C joint instead.

:Springer was originally only to be released as part of a big block of toys, referred to as "GDO" (Global Development Organization), which were originally developed [[exclusive]]ly for release in China and other Hasbro Asia markets. However, [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] picked up those figures, including Springer, as part of a ''massive'' group of ''Transformers'' exclusives for US market release, just in time for the 2012 holiday shopping season.

:The original version of this sculpt was [[retool]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Vortex (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Vortex]], and redecoed (but with Vortex's head) into ''Timelines'' [[Spinister (G1)#Timelines|Spinister]].

[[File:TF-Generations-TG21-Springer.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|''(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)'']]
*'''Autobot Springer''' (Voyager, 2013)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / 001'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TG21'''
**''Accessories'': Dual missile launcher, two missiles, rotor blades/sword

: Part of the third wave of [[2012]]-[[2013]] ''Generations'' Voyager Class toys, '[[Thrilling 30]]' "Autobot Springer" is based on [[Nick Roche]]'s design of the character from ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]'', and is a Triple Changer, transforming into both an armored car and a helicopter. Yup.

:His helicopter rotors detach to transform into a sword that is held by his hands via 5mm post, and can store underneath his car mode or on his back in robot mode. He also comes with a dual missile launcher that fires its two missiles in succession via a two-step pressure launch. The launcher features a jointed 5mm handle to allow it to pivot, and can mount underneath the helicopter cockpit. He has two 5mm ports on his back, the sword hilt has an additional post, and the launcher has additional ports at the top and bottom. There are reports that the second 5mm port on his back is incorrectly sized and the rotor of his helicopter mode can't be correctly plugged into it the way the picture shows. Springer's head is also ''extremely'' prone to detaching when being switched between robot and vehicle mode.

:The Japanese release of Springer features some differences in plastic colors, including a duller shade of yellow and a uniform silver color replacing the Western release's light and dark grays. He also has green feet.

:This mold was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Cloud|Hot Rodimus]], retooled into [[BotCon 2015]] [[Battletrap#Timelines|Battletrap]], and extensively [[retool]]ed into 'Thrilling 30' [[Sandstorm (G1)#Voyager|Sandstorm]]. This mold also served as the basis of the non-toy ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' incarnations of [[Dinobot (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Dynobot]] and [[Grimlock (G1)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Grimlock]].

====Platinum Edition====

*'''Autobot Heroes''' (5-pack, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Springer's weapons (dual missile launcher, two missiles, rotor blades/sword), Arcee's weapons (2 swords), Kup's "laser musket" rifle/exhaust pipe, Ultra Magnus' 2 guns, Blurr's weapons (Sniper rifle, left & right pistols), Minimus Ambus figure
:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', "Autobot Springer" is a redeco of his ''Thrilling 30'' Voyager Class toy, featuring additional colors and some metallic paint operations on his parts.

: Springer's new deco is similar, but not [[show-accuracy|visibly identical]] to his ''Generation 1'' color scheme. Unfortunately, the addition of a second shade of green results in mismatched colors across his parts, most conspicuously having biceps colored both gray and green. Early [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicting a hand-painted [[prototype]] featured gray colored hands, although the actual released figure's hands are cast in green plastic, which is also reflected by the later stock photos that depict a production sample. For unknown reasons, the window piece that ends up on his left forearm in robot mode is lacking the green paint for the frame underneath the window, compared to its counterpart on the right forearm.

:Springer was released as part of 5-pack with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Ultra Magnus]] (including [[Minimus Ambus#Platinum Edition|Minimus Ambus]]), [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Arcee]], [[Kup (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Sergeant Kup]], and [[Blurr (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Blurr]]. The set also included a recreation of the theatrical poster for the 1986 movie. In the United States, this set was officially a [[Target]] exclusive, but was only available via the company's website, never sold in stores. It was also released in Singapore, although it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not. In Canada, it was available via the Canadian [[Walmart]] website but never found in stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was available via the UK [[Toys"R"Us]] website and in some stores. In Spain, it was available via the Spanish subsidiaries of both [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés, supposedly also only available online. In Germany, it was available via retailer Real and specialty store Rappelkiste Ahlen, also only available online.

**''ID number:'' '''WFC-S38'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "W-10 Airslice Chopper Blades," "JF-10 Warp Blaster," "C-10 EM Void Blast Capacitor," rotor blade base (combine to form the "D.E.W. Mega Missile Launcher")
:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Autobot Springer is an all-new, cartoon-accurate mold that transforms from robot, to car or helicopter. He includes four weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], two "W-10 Airslice Chopper Blades," which are two swords that turns into rotor blades, and the "JF-10 Warp Blaster" and "C-10 EM Void Blast Capacitor," two blasters. All four weapons can mount on the rotor blade base and form the "D.E.W. Mega Missile Launcher." Springer also features "battle damage" paint applications on his front shoulders, chest, and legs, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

**''Pieces:'' '''9'''
: Part of the first wave of basic ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Springer is a non-transforming robot. He includes an extremely lengthy laser gun. Springer is capable of being disassembled and having his limbs swapped out with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure. The figure takes a few specific design cues from the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' Springer toy, such as wheels in the calves and slotted shoulders.

:An extensive redeco of the ''Generations'' Springer toy. Unlike the previous Japanese ''Generations'' release, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Sprung features a more animation-accurate color scheme. Two shades of green replace the single shade of the ''Generations'' release, with the lighter green replacing the yellow on Springer's chest. His thighs and fists are a light olive green-gray color. He comes with [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 19|volume 19]] of ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Transformers Legends: Bonus Edition]]''.

:some promotional images used a more subdued shade of green instead of the bright one

==Notes==
*The Hasbro design team chose the ''Cybertron'' Evac mold for ''Universe'' Springer because the BotCon 2007 version already had the ground vehicle [[alternate mode]] of the original covered, and they wanted to give some attention to the original's helicopter mode.
*Fun Publications' [[Jesse Wittenrich]] used an unwanted [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' Springer]] to come up with ''Shattered Glass'' Galvatron.
*When asked at [[BotCon 2016]] what toy concept he most regretted not being able to do, [[Pete Sinclair]] stated that he wanted a ''Shattered Glass'' Rodimus toy out of [[Springer (G1)/toys#Voyager|''Generations'' Springer]].<ref>[http://tformers.com/botcon-2016-botcon-over-the-years-the-last-panel-of-the-last-botcon/28965/news.html BotCon 2016 report by RAC]</ref>

{{disambigm|Cyclonus (disambiguation)|Snow Cat (disambiguation)}}
:''Cyclonus is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Cyclonus-AR-DVD.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|"Morale? We've never had morale around here!"]]
Cautious. Reliable. Uneager. These are not words to describe '''Cyclonus''' (sometimes '''Snow Cat'''). He is one wild and craaaaaaazy guy. Seriously, he's the guy in the group that even the other Cons think is a little unbalanced. His usual battle tactic is to rush straight in with every piece of artillery he has blazing, all while laughing maniacally. Other times, he yodels while rushing straight in with every piece of artillery he has blazing.

He loves combat, and isn't particularly picky about which side he's on, so long as he gets to shoot things. He's not especially bright, but [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] knows the value of a soldier largely without fear.

He is oftentimes partnered with the [[Mini-Con]] [[Crumplezone (Armada)|Crumplezone]], whose optics were opened up to just how much ''fun'' lunatic charges can be. The two get along amazingly well, both having an undying love for the sheer excitement of blowing stuff up real good.

==Fiction==
===Toy pack-in comics===
[[File:Armada V1 Cyclonus.jpg|thumb|Ow, I crashed into this stupid turret.]]

When [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] turned an energon-draining device on [[Cyber City]], Cyclonus and Crumplezone guarded it against Autobot intervention. The duo powerlinked and threatened [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] with a super-cannon when he arrived to foil their plans. Hot Shot's partner [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]] arrived, however, giving him super-speed and driving claws to outmaneuver the Decepticons. Cyclonus and Crumplezone were caught in an explosion when Hot Shot dumped the Decepticon device in a ravine. {{storylink|Armada Volume 1}}

[[File:Energon V4 Decepticons.jpg|thumb|left]]

Somehow, Megatron was able to ambush [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], and forced him to battle Snow Cat, [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]], [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]], and [[Shockblast]] without back-up. Luckily for Prime, [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]] arrived with a new Powerlinx mode for the two of them, enabling Prime to annihilate Snow Cat and the other Decepticons with heavy firepower. {{storylink|Energon Volume 4}}

[[File:Metamorphdeceps2.JPG|thumb|upright=1.3|You're late. Thank you, Mrs. Melp.]]
Cyclonus was a wild soldier under [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s command, possessing a maniacal personality. He had a tendency to fire at targets frantically, risking damage to his own teammates. Cyclonus was caught snoozing at the Decepticons' [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] base when Megatron, [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]], and [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] returned from their first attempt at capturing a Mini-Con on [[Earth]]. At his comrades' arrival, he sprung up to ask how their mission went, only to learn that it had ended in failure.

[[File:Cyclonus Comrade.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Cyclonus pleaded with Megatron to allow him the "honor" of scanning the planet for the Mini-Cons. Megatron permitted it, only to return after a short while with a Mini-Con already in hand. Megatron demanded to know how Cyclonus could be so incompetent as to not detect a Mini-Con he had found himself right outside their base. Cyclonus tried to weasel his way out of his failure, but Megatron assured him that he would be spared; he still served some use, after all. The Decepticon leader got [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]] to shoot around Cyclonus some to "inspire" him to work harder though. Two more Mini-Cons were then detected awakening on Earth, and this time around Cyclonus accompanied the others on the recovery mission. Before they headed planet-side, Megatron had them all adopt modified vehicle modes to blend in better. They then came upon the three Mini-Cons [[Grindor (Armada)|Grindor]], [[High Wire (Armada)|High Wire]] and [[Sureshock (Armada)|Sureshock]], accompanied by three Earth children. Taking them for easy pickings, the Decepticons surrounded their targets, only to be prevented from acquiring them by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] and his Autobot warriors. {{storylink|Metamorphosis (Armada)|Metamorphosis}} In the battle that followed, Cyclonus managed to land a few good shots on Optimus, bringing the Autobot leader to his knees. The Decepticons still felt it more cautious to retreat, but before they did so, Cyclonus managed to grab a couple of dormant Mini-Cons. He kept [[Crumplezone (Armada)|Crumplezone]] for himself, and presented the other to Megatron, who in turn gave it to Demolishor. {{storylink|Base}}

[[File:Soldier sinkyiceberg.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Cyclonus was eager to claim the next Mini-Con as his own as well, though Starscream protested that their next acquisition rightfully belonged to him. Megatron ordered the pair to put aside their differences, and the Decepticons headed down to [[Grand Canyon|Big Canyon]], where the newest Mini-Con signal emanated from. Though Cyclonus managed to sideline Hot Shot there, the Decepticons still lost out on adding <s>Leader-1</s>[[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] to their ranks.{{storylink|Comrade}} The Decepticons' next attempt at capturing a Mini-Con took them to the Antarctic. Megatron had Demolishor and Cyclonus keep tabs on Starscream during their search, though they lost track of him rather quickly. The glow of the Mini-Con panel led them back to their fellow Decepticon, then being overpower by Hot Shot. Megatron, Cyclonus, and Demolishor ganged up on the lone Autobot, with Cyclonus being granted permission to deliver the finishing blow. The execution was spoiled by Red Alert's arrival. The Decepticons continued to fight so long as they outnumbered the Autobots, but as soon as Optimus showed up, they warped back to base. {{storylink|Soldier (episode)|Soldier}}

After Cyclonus, Starscream, and Demolishor failed a holographic training exercise, Megatron criticized Starscream for his poor show of leadership. Cyclonus then taunted the second-in-command, but before their exchange could escalate into a squabble, the Decepticons' computer signaled that another Mini-Con had been detected.

[[File:Jungle-Not quite fist bump.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3|"Wow, dodged a bullet on that one! Thank [[Primus]] my minions are so incompetent!"]]

The Decepticons warped down into a forest, where they started a forest fire during a clash against the Autobots. While the Autobots ran off to deal with the blaze, the Decepticons focused on acquiring the Mini-Con. Though the Autobots caught up to them, Starscream managed to have [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]] imprint on him, and the Decepticons made another tactical retreat. {{storylink|Jungle}} During some downtime, the Decepticons continued to repair their base of operations. As they were working, Cyclonus got a good laugh at Demolishor being a clumsy oaf and getting on Megatron's nerves.{{storylink|Carnival}}

[[File:Confrontation-Cyclonus and Rad.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.3|Somebody defaced this animation cell!]]
While scouring the [[Sahara|Sahara Desert]] for a Mini-Con, Cyclonus was taken for an enemy unit by Demolishor and fired upon. After yelling at his fellow Decepticon some, Cyclonus informed him he was having a lot of difficulty finding anything in the sandy expanse, and took off again. He circled back around to find the Autobots, and helped keep them at a standstill until Demolishor managed to swipe the Mini-Con and bring it back to base. {{storylink|Palace}} Later, Cyclonus came upon the children riding their Mini-Cons in the open. He failed to capture his initial targets, so instead settled on abducting Fred and Billy. Cyclonus then had the other three children convey his ransom message to Optimus; Fred and Billy would be released in exchange for all of the Mini-Cons in the Autobots' possession. When the Autobots turned up, Cyclonus acted as his faction's negotiator in the exchange. As usual, the negotiations quickly devolved into a firefight between the two factions. Cyclonus was punched out of the sky by Hot Shot and fell unconscious. While he was out of it, the Autobots gained the upper hand, and Cyclonus woke up just in time to skedaddle from the scene. {{storylink|Confrontation (episode)|Confrontation}}

[[File:Confrontation-Cyclonus vs Hot Shot.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3]]
The Decepticons searched a city's subway system for the next Mini-Con. This frustrated Cyclonus; the confined spaces of the underground disallowed him from flying and moving comfortably. By the time the Decepticons made their way to the Mini-Con's location, the Autobots' children allies had already gotten a hold of its panel. Cyclonus's attempt to smash the brats under-foot was halted by Smokescreen, though the new Autobot wasn't able to deal with all of Megatron's goons by himself. Cyclonus activated the Mini-Con, [[Drill Bit (Armada)|Drill Bit]], who bonded to him, and the Decepticons left the Autobots to dig out Smokescreen from some rubble. {{storylink|Underground (episode)|Underground}}

Cyclonus and the other Decepticons tracked a Mini-Con signal within [[Atlantis|a city]] at the bottom of the ocean. Instead of heading for it immediately, they lay in wait to ambush the Autobots when they arrived in turn. Despite their surprise attack, the Autobots were able to press on. The Decepticons left, Mini-Con in hand, as the entire underwater structure began collapsing on itself. {{storylink|Ruin}} Their next venture took them to a volcanic island. Cyclonus successfully plucked a Mini-Con panel from a lava flow there, while the other Transformers busied themselves with firing at one another. But when the Autobot-aligned Mini-Cons joined the fray and shot Cyclonus out of the sky, Cyclonus lost the panel to Red Alert. {{storylink|Prehistory}}

[[File:ArmadaSwoop Cyclonusteleport.jpg|thumb|200px|Hey I found a nickel!]]
Megatron determined the general location of the Autobots' base thanks to [[Sonar (Armada)|Sonar]]'s ability to sense the other two members of the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] trio. He sent out Cyclonus out to pinpoint it, and after searching for a whole day, Cyclonus finally uncovered it. With the base's defenses turned off, the Decepticons thought it would be a cakewalk to get the Mini-Cons. But the Autobots had trickier tactics to get rid of the intruders. After being confounded by a smokescreen and split up from the others, Cyclonus chanced upon the human children. Figuring he could have another go at holding them ransom for Mini-Cons, Cyclonus chased after them, only to be tricked into stepping into the warp gate. He was teleported away to the Arctic. Before Cyclonus could figure out where he was, Megatron sounded a withdrawal and warped all his minions back to the moon. {{storylink|Swoop (episode)|Swoop}}

[[File:Overmatch Cyclonusslicebutt.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Misfortune continued to ail Cyclonus; on his next mission he nearly managed to grab a Mini-Con panel, only to be knocked out of the sky by Starscream's blade, cleaved from its hilt and sent flying by Hot Shot and the Star Saber. Frustrated over the continuous setbacks they suffered, Megatron brought in the mercenary [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] to assist the Decepticons. Though Scavenger helped out in their next venture, he came in late enough that Cyclonus had already lost his helicopter mode's tail pylon to Hot Shot's blade. At least the mercenary bought him the time he needed to fetch the Mini-Con panel while everyone else was fighting. {{storylink|Overmatch}}

[[File:Credulous Hot Shot beatdown.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Cyclonus was next assigned to guard a highway tunnel while Scavenger was within, digging for their next prize. He also caused a gridlock to slow the Autobots down. Hot Shot sidestepped the traffic jam, and Cyclonus ambushed him while he was fighting Scavenger. After Sideways joined the fight, Cyclonus went back to the tunnel... until Hot Shot drove by, provoking him to give chase. Cyclonus was lured to a bridge which Hot Shot then cut down, sending Cyclonus and Scavenger plummeting. Cyclonus ditched Scavenger and took off. Not much of an attention span, that Cyclonus. {{storylink|Gale}}

[[File:Conspiracy-Showoff.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3]]
Despite his own lackluster performance on the battlefield, Cyclonus took to mocking Megatron during their next encounter with the Autobots. Though, between Sideways joining the Autobots and Hot Shot being in possession of the Star Saber, none of the Decepticons were fairing well against their opponents. The Decepticons retreated, accidentally warping Sideways and Hot Shot along with them to their moonbase. Megatron told his minions that whichever Decepticon took the Star Saber would get to keep it, but Cyclonus's attempt at stealing it only left him with his rotor chopped off. He recovered in time to beat up Hot Shot after Sideways betrayed him and passed the sword to Starscream. {{storylink|Credulous}} Cyclonus rejoiced over the Decepticons' subsequent series of victories in gathering Mini-Cons. But the Star Saber being in Starscream's hands also led to trouble, as the ambitious 'bot was quick to use the blade in response to any criticism his fellow Decepticons had against him. After failing to take down Optimus on his own during the next mission, Cyclonus suggested taking the Star Saber away from Starscream; due to a set-up orchestrated by Megatron, the rest of the Decepticons were led to believe that Starscream was too unstable to wield it safely. With the sword now being wielded by Megatron, the Decepticons managed to snag the second Mini-Con of the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom Shield]] trio. {{storylink|Conspiracy}}

[[File:Trust-Scavenger-Cyclonus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|How can you be my father if you're a good guy? I was a bad guy, but...]]
When Starscream voiced his concerns that Scavenger might have went and joined the Autobots after deserting the Decepticons, Cyclonus and Demolishor pointed out that there was no evidence that the mercenary had actually switched sides. Seeing him among the Autobot ranks changed Cyclonus's mind. Cyclonus powerlinxed with [[Drill Bit (Armada)|Drill Bit]] to try and stab Scavenger, but the turncoat was too agile to be hit. Cyclonus then fell victim to Scavenger’s [[Dozer Cannon]] and was taken out of the rest of the fight. {{storylink|Trust (Armada)|Trust}}

Afterwards, Megatron took out his frustration on his troops by putting them through a "training exercise" where he chased them around with the Star Saber. Cyclonus was able to skip out on most of it, as Megatron focused primarily on chasing Sideways. {{storylink|Vacation}}

[[File:Reinforcement-Cyclonus yoink.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3]]
After losing out a Mini-Con to the Autobot team's newest member, [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]], Cyclonus participated in a chase for the last member of the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom Shield]] trio, [[Downshift (Armada)|Downshift]]. Thanks in great part to Blurr and Hot Shot butting heads the whole time, Cyclonus managed to snatch the Mini-Con. With this acquisition, the Decepticons now possessed both the Skyboom Shield and the Star Saber! {{storylink|Reinforcement}} With both weapons in hand, Megatron decided to issue a message to the Autobots, and challenge them to a final clash that would potentially end their war. Throughout the fight, Cyclonus ran interference, preventing the Autobots from coming to Optimus's rescue as Megatron beat him down. He was taken out by a shot that, unbeknownst to him, came from Sideways. Seizing this opening, the Autobots managed to snatch away the Skyboom Shield, and the Decepticons hightailed it back to the moon. {{storylink|Decisive Battle}} Despite this setback, Megatron was quick to orchestrate another confrontation between himself and Optimus. To do so, he set up a trap where a series of warp gates would scatter the Autobots around the globe. Cyclonus was tasked with keeping track of the Warp Gates so the Decepticons could retrieve Megatron if anything went wrong. Being Cyclonus, he lost track of the gates almost immediately. He sorted them out just before Megatron could get beaten down by the bulk of the Autobot forces, and the Decepticons pulled the plug on the operation. {{storylink|Vow}}

[[File:Cyclonus asleep.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
The Decepticons warped back to their base after yet another failed mission, the sound for a retreat having this time been sounded because Sideways had a leg injury. Cyclonus made fun of Sideways's "boo-boo," but collapsed mid-mockery due to exhaustion. He then slept through most of Sideways's plot to turn the Decepticons against one another, only coming to when he heard that Megatron and Starscream were about to duel. Eager to get a good view, he rushed out giddy with anticipation. The duel ended with Starscream being humbled after Megatron beat him down with his bare hands. {{storylink|Rebellion (Armada)|Rebellion}}

Despite the Decepticons benefiting from improved morale after Starscream's failed coup, they were unable to best the Autobots, who were growing increasingly effective in their battle tactics. When Cyclonus attempted to fetch [[Dune Runner (Armada)|Dune Runner]]'s Mini-Con panel, he was shot out of the air by Smokescreen, and left blubbering on the ground until the Decepticons pulled out. A new arrival, [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]], provided the Decepticons with tactics that surpassed those of the Autobots, and Cyclonus next took part in an ambush that nearly spelled the end of Optimus Prime. But [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] unexpectedly joined the fray, reversing the balance of power once more. {{storylink|Tactician}} Though Demolishor was quick vent his anger towards Thrust, Cyclonus and the other Decepticons still retained faith in their new recruit. Cyclonus, Starscream, and the Decepticons' flying Mini-Cons were organized into a aerial attack-squad that ambushed Jetfire over the ocean, where the other Autobots couldn't come to his aid. The battle was going in the Decepticons' favor until Optimus warped in mid-air, and displayed his ability to combine with Jetfire. Together, the two Autobots took out their Decepticon opponents one-by-one. {{storylink|Linkup}}

[[File:Arm30 bobbleheads.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3]]
The Decepticons gathered on the Moon so that Thrust could explain why his plans weren't working out. The tactician pointed out that the Decepticons lacked unity, and the reason behind their in-fighting was soon revealed: Sideways was caught reporting to his [[Unicron|unseen master]], admitting that he was keeping the Decepticons from gaining ground on the Autobots. Cyclonus helped his teammates gun down the traitor, only for Sideways to enter his "[[Trans-phase mode]]" and fly off to parts unknown. The Decepticons and Autobots then met in a beachfront battle, {{storylink|Detection}} where Cyclonus was sent wailing off in terror when [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] came bearing down on the scene. He then learned that the new arrival was on his side. Cyclonus continued his assault on the Autobots, only to get shot up by Optimus. {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}} Cyclonus continued to fight on, though a Decepticon victory seemed assured after it was revealed that Tidal Wave could combine with Megatron to grant him flight capabilities and additional firepower. Cyclonus attacked Hot Shot, but lost the tussle between the two. The Autobots then secured a victory by acquiring the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]]. {{storylink|Desperate}} What followed was some uneventful downtime, during which Cyclonus mostly stood around, made jokes that only he found funny, and pestered Thrust after he had been tasked with tracking down the Space Mini-Con team. {{storylink|Runaway}}

Cyclonus was on hand when [[Wheeljack (Armada)|Wheeljack]] was welcomed into Megatron's forces. {{storylink|Past II}}

After the bulk of the Autobots had been lured away from their base, Cyclonus participated on an attack on the enemy headquarters which ended with the Requiem Blaster in Megatron's hands, and [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] at death's door. {{storylink|Sacrifice}} The Decepticons regrouped at their base, where Megatron congratulated Thrust for getting him the Requiem Blaster. Cyclonus and Demolishor griped that Thrust was taking credit for their part in the weapon's acquisition. Starscream then walked in, and took out his frustration on being left behind on Thrust. Cyclonus rather enjoyed the show. Megatron stopped the fight however, and sent his troops off. Cyclonus and Wheeljack rushed back to Megatron's throne room when they heard that Starscream was rebelling against Megatron. Starscream shot them both before they could intervene, and left to join the Autobots. {{storylink|Regeneration (Armada)|Regeneration}}

The Decepticons were gathered in Megatron's throne room when an alarm sounded throughout their base. Wheeljack suggested that maybe the alarm signaled an incursion from the Autobots, but Cyclonus dismissed the idea as preposterous. As far as he was concerned, there was no way the Autobots were smart enough to get passed their security system. He was wrong, of course, and the Autobots led a siege that ended with nearly all of the Decepticon-held Mini-Cons being liberated under their care. {{storylink|Rescue}} Cyclonus and the others were stuck filling in for the tiny 'bots, picking up where they'd left off on the construction of a spaceship, and cutting into the time the Decepticons would have otherwise spent gossiping, and watching Megatron vent his anger by destroying the lunar landscape. {{storylink|Mars (episode)|Mars}}

[[File:Cyclonus Return to Cybertron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Cyclonus participated on an attack on the Autobot base. Though he was shot down immediately, elsewhere on the battlefield Thrust convinced Starscream to return to the Decepticons with the Star Saber and Skyboom Shield. {{storylink|Crack (episode)|Crack}} With the sword, the shield, and the blaster now in hand, the Decepticons finalized the construction of the [[Hydra Cannon]], powered by all three Mini-Con weapons. They then used its awesome firepower to obliterate a comet before turning their sights towards the Earth.{{storylink|Threaten}} As the Hydra Cannon aligned itself, Megatron gave Thrust the new nickname "Squidhead." Cyclonus found this moniker especially hilarious. When Optimus Prime and Jetfire arrived to stop the Decepticon ship from unleashing its power against Earth, Cyclonus, Demolishor, and Wheeljack dealt with Jetfire, pinning him down and leaving him unable to stop Optimus from sacrificing himself to stop the cannon's blast. {{storylink|Crisis (Armada)|Crisis}}

With Optimus destroyed, Cyclonus and the other Decepticons set course back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Remorse}} Cyclonus expressed confusion over why Megatron seemed so morose after the death of Optimus Prime. Wheeljack explained to him that the sudden loss of an eternal rival could be discomforting. {{storylink|Depart}} After Megatron turned the Decepticons' ship around to crush their Autobot pursuers, Cyclonus battled against Blurr amidst an asteroid field. The fighting came to an end when Optimus was revived by the Mini-Cons, and used the power of his Super Mode to push Megatron back. {{storylink|Miracle}} Cyclonus was further confused by Megatron laughing to himself over Optimus Prime's return to the living. Demolishor pointed out to him that it was better than Megatron yelling at them all the time, and Cyclonus agreed. {{storylink|Puppet}}

[[File:Dash.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3]]
Arriving on their home planet ahead of Optimus Prime and his soldiers, the Decepticons managed to take Cybertron by force. During a war-charge led by Galvatron (formerly Megatron), Cyclonus and the others came upon Optimus and Jetfire. The Decepticons retreated when the Autobots brought to their attention a black hole overhead the Mini-Cons were in the process of keeping at bay, and warned of the approach of "[[Unicron]]." {{storylink|Uprising (Armada)|Uprising}} Cyclonus encountered Hot Shot when the Autobot attempted to infiltrate Galvatron's fortress. Though all too happy to gun down the intruder, Cyclonus stepped down to allow Wheeljack his revenge against Hot Shot. But Hot Shot managed to convince his opponent to allow him to deliver his message to Galvatron. In the throne room, Cyclonus was mostly confused over the talk of Unicron and betrayals. Galvatron made things clearer by ordering him to pursue Thrust, revealed to be an agent of Unicron, as the traitor absconded into the depths of Cybertron with the Skyboom Shield and Requiem Blaster in hand. {{storylink|Dash (episode)|Dash}}

[[File:Alliance Redshirts.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Cyclonus was present when Starscream pled with Galvatron to put aside his enmity towards Optimus, and join forces with the Autobots. Galvatron refused to acknowledged the greater threat of Unicron, and Cyclonus sided with him, saying their leader knew what he was doing. Cyclonus later accompanied Galvatron as he attacked Optimus's forces in a canyon. He was kept occupied by the enemy soldiers while Optimus tried to reason with Galvatron. The Autobots' and Decepticons' firefight was interrupted by an energy discharge from Unicron, and soon thereafter Galvatron was swayed by Starscream's death to unite his forces with Optimus's. {{storylink|Cramp}} Cyclonus showed no grief over his fellow Decepticon's demise, though a punch from Galvatron made him shut his yap on the subject. Cyclonus then attended a formal alliance ceremony where the Autobots and Decepticons officially joined forces, grudgingly shaking hands with Side Swipe. He and Demolishor subsequently joined Hot Shot and Side Swipe on a reconnaissance mission to Unicron's surface, though Cyclonus deviated from the mission immediately in a trigger-happy craze. As Unicron began transforming, Cyclonus nearly fell to his death down a chasm, but was saved thanks to the combined efforts of Demolishor and the Autobots. The scouting party was then rescued from Unicron's surface by Jet Optimus and Galvatron. {{storylink|Alliance}} All attempts to damage Unicron proved futile. Determining their best plan of attack laid in attacking Unicron from within, Optimus and Galvatron infiltrated their gargantuan foe's body. Meanwhile, Cyclonus and the rest of the troops kept Unicron occupied with their ships, in the hopes of forestalling Cybertron's annihilation. {{storylink|Union}}

Thankfully, Galvatron, Optimus, the kids and their companion Mini-Cons managed to travel within Unicron and remove the Mini-Con weapons powering him. Unicron became inert. Cyclonus then joined Jetfire on a flight over to the evil planet to retrieve their respective leaders, though Unicron began to stir en-route. A final assault was launched on Unicron, though it proved unnecessary; within him, Galvatron sacrificed himself after a ferocious duel with Optimus. Robbed of the hatred Galvatron provided him, Unicron was no longer able to sustain himself, and vanished from existence. Afterwards, Cyclonus joined the Autobots' unit, though with reservations. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}

=====Alternate timeline=====
In a timeline where the Cybertronians' conflict never left their home planet, the Mini-Cons' influence on the Autobots and Decepticons subjugated the larger robots. Cyclonus and the rest of his kind were left entangled in a semi-organic growth spawned from Unicron's cells, and were shut down by Unicron's power. Carlos, Alexis, and Rad appeared before him, visitors from another time, and beheld Cyclonus's inert form before shooting off into time once more, eventually leading to Cyclonus's fate being prevented. {{storylink|Drift (episode)|Drift}}

{{noteslonly}}
[[File:Energon Stars Cyclonus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Cyclonus was stationed as the guardian of the [[Cybertron City (city)|Cybertron City]] [[Lunar City|based on the moon]]. Although he served in his role dutifully, he was yearning for the days of combat. Not long after the attacks on Mars and Asteroid City, the Moon would also be attacked, a battle through which Cyclonus would hold up a small resistance before he was presumed destroyed. {{storylink|Energon Stars}}

[[File:MegatronsSword demolishor and cyclonus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|I know it sounds crazy, but they both have that rare blend of expendable and invulnerable that makes for a perfect henchman]]
As [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] prepared for more [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] assaults on Earth, Cyclonus surfaced, having tucked tail and ran, abandoning the Cybertron City on the moon to be looted of its [[Energon]]. Cyclonus had learned of Megatron's potential rebirth, and shared the news with Demolishor during some friendly sparring. He then assisted Demolishor and the Autobots defend [[Plains City]] until [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] showed up wielding [[Megatron's Sword]], a blade forged by [[Alpha Quintesson]] from the Spark of Megatron. Believing that it was proof of Megatron's impending return, Cyclonus abandoned the Autobots and Demolishor, joining Alpha Quintesson's forces. {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}

[[File:Energon-Cyclonus-Galvatron-Corpse.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
Returning from an Energon-gathering mission, Cyclonus and Tidal Wave found Megatron's remains within Unicron. Cyclonus attempted to reawaken their leader, to no effect. Both Decepticons then questioned Scorponok about Megatron's status; now that they had seen in what poor condition he was in, doubts began to seep in over whether or not it was truly possible for Megatron to be revived. Scorponok and Alpha Q dismissively told the pair to keep on task. Cyclonus, Tidal Wave, and a horde of Terrorcons zeroed in on an Energon expedition led by Hot Shot, and triggered an avalanche to sweep away the Autobot. The Autobots regrouped, fought back, and during the battle verbally sparred for Demolishor's loyalty with Cyclonus. Despite Scorponok arriving late into the battle with reinforcements, Cyclonus and his team were forced to pull back after the Autobots warped in an entire city atop the Energon cache, securing it under Autobot control. {{storylink|The New Cybertron City}}

[[File:Cyclonus kicks Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Cyclonus was the first to enter a battle for [[Jungle City]] but also the first to leave when he realized that the Autobots had fitted the installation with automated defensive artillery. After the rest of the Terrorcons followed suit, Cyclonus and Tidal Wave apologized to their inert leader for not securing the energon needed to revive him. Cyclonus then grew irritated over their situation, and kicked Megatron's corpse. Suddenly, Megatron's voice filled the cavern, telling his former minion to stop doing that. Tidal Wave defended Megatron, but Cyclonus reminded him how badly they had been treated under his command and stated that he preferred that Megatron remained powerless, kicking him again. Megatron spoke up once more, making Cyclonus realize he would wind up in big trouble when his leader did revive. Scorponok then entered the cavern brandishing Megatron's [[Energon Sword]]. Scorponok claimed that Megatron had been siphoning their energon reserves for himself, and that he intended to rectify this problem. He stabbed Megatron's spark with his Energon Sword, inadvertently completing the Decepticon's resurrection. Cyclonus laughed maniacally as Megatron burst out of his old body, like an insect from its cocoon. Lucky for him, Megatron was now too preoccupied with Scorponok to follow up on his previous threat.

[[File:Decepticons aboard Tidal Wave.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
When Megatron was about to deliver a killing blow to Scorponok, Cyclonus backed up the former chamberlain's claim that his actions were at the bidding of Alpha Q. Megatron spared Scorponok to pursue Alpha Q instead, though he escaped the Decepticons aboard Unicron's head. Shifting his attention once more, Megatron led Cyclonus and the rest of his minions in an attack on [[Plains City]], from which they emerged victorious. {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}} Cyclonus cackled gleefully as Megatron allowed their enemies retreat to lick their wounds. He later joined in an attack on Ocean City, only to be beaten back by Hot Shot, wielding a copy of Megatron's energon sword. {{storylink|Megatron Raid}} Cyclonus accompanied Megatron on an attack on Lunar City, though their forces were pushed back before they could acquire more Energon. {{storylink|Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary}} The next raid on Lunar City was more successful, as the Autobots had left it unguarded while venturing to Asteroid City. Cyclonus accompanied Megatron on that attack, and then journeyed with him into the asteroid belt. There, they retrieved Scorponok from an Autobot interrogation, and detonated an energon-rich asteroid to cover their escape. {{storylink|Battle of the Asteroid Belt}}

[[File:Energon-Decepticons-Flee-Tower.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
As Megatron's soldiers scrounged up the last remaining morsels of Energon on Mars, Cyclonus complained about being bored. Megatron promised him some action once their preparations were done, and delivered on his promise when he led his troops on another attack on Ocean City. Cyclonus engaged Jetfire in aerial combat for most of the conflict, only to be sniped down by Inferno. He returned to the battle just in time to fly headlong into Tidal Wave, and be forced away by the activation of the Autobots' newest weapon, an Energon Tower. {{storylink|Energon Tower}} After that venture, Cyclonus was no longer too keen on launching another attack on the Earth. He then took a nap, only to be awoken when Starscream made an assassination attempt on Megatron. But Megatron had grown too powerful for the mercenary, and Cyclonus witnessed his leader psychologically torment Starscream before reprogramming him into a loyal Decepticon. {{storylink|The Legend of Rodimus}} Cyclonus watched as Starscream was inducted fully into Decepticon ranks, and then joined in on an attack on [[Jungle City]]. The Decepticons gained control of the city, but it was detonated by the Autobots, preventing the Decepticons from acquiring the Energon housed within. {{storylink|Crisis in Jungle City}}

[[File:Energon-Dangling-Decepticons.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Boss, there's a monster down there!" "I think it was two ninjas taped together to make one giant ninja!"]]
Megatron then learned through Demolishor of Kicker's extra-sensory power to detect energon. Intrigued, Megatron tasked Cyclonus to help him distract Optimus while Demolishor went after the boy. Amidst the ruins of Lunar City, the Autobots managed to warp in another completed Energon Tower, forcing the Decepticons to retreat once more, foiling the abduction. On their way out, Cyclonus retrieved Demolishor, but sustained damage doing so. He begged Megatron to repair him back at the Decepticons' base. In a rage, Megatron bound Cyclonus to the wall using [[Unicron]]'s internal tentacles, and infused him with Unicron's essence in a painful manner. This resulted in Cyclonus being upgraded into '''Snow Cat''' {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}} Megatron left him strapped to the wall as he enacted his next plot, this one involving sending artificially-created meteors towards the Earth in the hopes of destroying it. The plan failed when the Autobots managed to activate a planet-wide, protective "Energon Grid" around the Earth. {{storylink|Energon Grid}}

[[File:Energon-Snow-Cat-1st-Appearance.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Once released from his restraints, Snow Cat took up skiing amidst debris fields in the void of space, yodeling all the while. Using his new weaponry to first freeze some of the debris, he then sent it earth-wards, only for the Energon grid to send laser beams in his direction, forcing Snow Cat to flee. Later, when Megatron’s suspicions about Scorponok still working for Alpha Q came to a head, Megatron strapped Scorponok to another artificial comet and sent him hurling towards the Earth’s Energon Grid. Snow Cat taunted him briefly as he approached his impending doom. {{storylink|Rodimus Friend or Foe?}} Rodimus arrived to rescue Scorponok, and the Decepticons engaged him and his crew. During the fight, [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] grabbed Snow Cat by the head and tossed him away. Knocked silly, Tidal Wave had to retrieve Snow Cat before the Decepticons pulled back. Later, Snow Cat alerted Megatron that they had detected an Autobot ship heading for their position. This ship was Optimus's vessel, the ''Miranda II'', built for tracking down Unicron's body in the far reaches of space. The ship deployed an [[Energon Ring]] to generate its own ship-sized warp gate, but Snow Cat disabled the device before the Autobots could activate it. He then gunned for Skyblast and Strongarm as they attempted to fix the ring, forestalling the Autobots' departure further. Ironhide ran interference with only partial success, as he knocked Snow Cat into the Omnicons, preventing them outright from completing their task. Kicker managed to do the job himself, and after the ''Miranda II'' activated its Energon shield, destroying Demolishor in the process, Megatron ordered his troops to retreat. {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}}

[[File:Energon-Snowcat-New-Demolishor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Snow Cat somehow tracked the Autobots to an icy planet in another galaxy. Learning that Optimus Prime had found a stockpile of Energon on this distant world, Snow Cat transmitted his findings to Tidal Wave, who in turn informed Megatron. Snow Cat goofed off in the wintery landscape until he was joined by Demolishor, now reborn in a new body. Together, they tracked down a small team of Autobots led by Kicker, and drove them away from an energon repository. They watched over several Battle Ravages gathering up energon until they were in turn attacked by [[Cruellock|a new breed of Terrorcons]]. Though they lost several of their own Terrorcon units, the Decepticons were eventually left in control of the planet, as they destroyed the new Terrorcons and the Autobots were force to flee. {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}} After that, Snow Cat took part in a rather half-hearted attack on the ''Miranda II'' in deep space, and was again driven off. {{storylink|A Tale of Two Heros}} He later engaged Hot Shot in a vehicle mode battle on the ''Miranda II'''s hull as both the ship and Unicron returned to Cybertron via space bridge. The Decepticons were forced to warp away when the Autobots turned the planet's Energon Grid on, inflicting massive damage onto Unicron's body. {{storylink|Battle Stations}}

[[File:Snow Cat Ice Beam.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
The sight of Unicron in the skies of Cybertron led the Decepticons on the planet to revolt—news that Snow Cat and Demolishor happily brought to Megatron, though he wasn't particularly bothered. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}} Snow Cat was part of the unit sent down to Cybertron's surface to recruit Decepticon war criminal [[Shockblast]]. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}} Several Decepticon refugees then followed Shockblast's example, and fled Cybertron to join Megatron. Snow Cat was tasked with overlooking these refugees as they assembled within Unicron. He used his authority to goof around until Megatron began to lose control of Unicron. Several energon-draining spikes sprung out of Unicron's interiors and skewered the new arrivals, with Snow Cat barely managing to evade being killed himself. Unicron only calmed down once he absorbed enough Energon to sate his hunger for the time being. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}} With that situation now under control, Snow Cat was sent as part of a team back down to Cybertron to create an opening in the planet's energon grid. They managed to fell only a few towers before they had to retreat due to Tidal Wave sustaining heavy damage. {{storylink|Each One Fights...}} With Tidal Wave (rebuilt as "Mirage") leading another raid, Snow Cat helped hold off the Autobots while Terrorcons gathered energon from the planet's core. This energon re-powered Unicron enough for Megatron to have him transform, and Snow Cat helped keep the attacking Autobots busy while the process completed itself. {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}} When Unicron's transformation was done, Megatron opened his surface beneath Demolishor and Snow Cat so they could escape a standoff with Scorponok, but the Terrorcon leader dogged them through Unicron's interior, foiling their every attempt to battle the Autobots. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} Subsequently, an unstable energon reaction initiated by Alpha Q opened up a rift in space, through which Demolishor, along with Unicron and all the other Decepticons, were sucked into. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}}

On the [[Alpha Q's universe|other side of the rift]], Alpha Q used Unicron's head and his energon to begin recreating all the planets that Unicron had once eaten, and Snow Cat and the Decepticons began stealing the energon growing within them to continue Megatron's plans for Unicron's body. The Autobots followed, and succeeded in apprehending Shockblast. Snow Cat and the other Decepticons purposely left him in Autobot custody when they ventured to [[Iron Planet]] to acquire its energon reserves. {{storylink|Protection}} After Shockblast apologized and promised to pledge his renewed loyalty to Megatron, the Decepticons put the effort forward to rescue him from the Autobots. As the others cornered Shockblast's jailer, Inferno, Megatron tasked Snow Cat with calling in Scorponok and the Terrorcons in anticipation of Optimus turning up. Optimus arrived before Scorponok did though, and Snow Cat came to be on the receiving end the Autobot leader's laser-blasts with no back-up. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}}

During the Decepticon attack on [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], Snow Cat helped run interference in orbit to keep the Autobots from getting down to the planet's surface, but he and his team-mates were taken down by new Autobot arrivals [[Team Bulkhead]]. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}} Undeterred, Snow Cat and the Decepticons soon made another play for Jungle Planet's energon, only to be repelled when the Autobots erected a new energon tower to shield the planet. {{storylink|Bulkhead (episode)|Bulkhead}}

Snow Cat was part of attack force on [[Blizzard Planet]] who failed to prevent another energon tower from being activated there. Afterwards, he accompanied Megatron as he investigated a Decepticon signal emanating from Inferno, then struggling to overcome mind-altering reprogramming the Decepticon leader had inflicted upon him. When Megatron was called away to [[Ocean Planet]], he brought Snow Cat, Shockblast, and Mirage along with him, while the other Decepticons were left to help Inferno through his "transition." Snow Cat tried to destroy the Autobots' last energon tower before it could come online, but as on his last mission, met with too much Autobot resistance to see this through. {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}}

[[File:ReturnOurScorponok demolishor and snowcat.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
''With an Energon grid now protecting most of the planets, the Decepticons had to scavenge what they could from the half-formed world outside the grid. Just as Snow Cat begun his menial labor, Starscream came to fetch him with some news: [[Planet Q]] had just been revitalized outside the grid! Snow Cat took part in the battle on the newly-formed world, but when Scorponok deviated from his mission parameters, Megatron called a retreat.'' {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}}

Between fights, Demolishor and Snow Cat shuttled supplies around, but had to contend with tremors that shook Unicron, spawned by Megatron's impatience. {{storylink|Crash Course}}

On their next energon-gathering mission, Snow Cat and his buddies came under attack from the Autobots, but managed to cover the Terrorcons' escape, allowing them to deliver the final payload of energon needed to power Unicron back up to the stage where he could move again. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} Snow Cat and the other 'Con grunts then battled the Autobots on Unicron's surface, preventing them from interfering with Megatron's successful reintegration of Unicron's body and head. Though Megatron succeeded, his actions seemed so brash throughout the process that Snow Cat of all people begun to question his leader's sanity. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}}

Optimus used new powers granted to him by his combination with Omega Supreme to toss Snow Cat and Mirage around like rag dolls as he made his way towards Megatron's throne room. As soon as the pair recovered, they were hounded by a team of Autobots led by Hot Shot, leaving them unable to help Megatron gather the last bit of Energon he needed to fully awaken Unicron. As the battle went on, Snow Cat learned that it was no longer Megatron, but Shockblast that was now controlling Unicron, a revelation that sent him into a panic. Once he regained his composure, Snow Cat and Mirage continued to battle Autobots seeking an audience with Megatron. Then... the voice of the Decepticon leader was heard throughout the planet, declaring Megatron was no more: Unicron was now in command of the Decepticon's body! {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage struggled to escape the planet-eater's internal defenses. They failed, and ended up bound to Unicron's surface by energy-tendrils, giving them a front-row seat for Unicron/Megatron's battle with the giant-size, [[Primus]]-empowered Optimus Supreme. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} Fortunately for them, they were freed by a barrage of Autobot fire moments before Optimus destroyed Unicron, and captured by [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]]. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}

[[File:Snow Cat Ballerina.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
With Megatron having apparently perished along with Unicron, Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage were incarcerated on Cybertron. There, Snow Cat made the acquaintance of [[Six Shot]], Shockblast's brother, and told him that Optimus had slain his sibling. The jailbirds were then freed by Starscream, who revealed that Megatron still lived. {{storylink|Ambition}} After finding Mirage (who had previously gotten separated from the group) Snow Cat passed on the news that their leader was still alive. Mirage was overjoyed, and Snow Cat joined him in sowing wanton destruction in celebration. {{storylink|Wishes}}

Six Shot succeeded in taking control of the energon gas powering the grid and using it to force the Autobots off the planet, and Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage soon began to feel a bit under-appreciated as Megatron (now "Galvatron" again after exposure to Super Energon) praised Six Shot for his accomplishments. However, following a battle on the hull of the ''Miranda II'', during which Snow Cat and Demolishor were clobbered by Omega Supreme, they all enjoyed watching Galvatron beat Six Shot up for taking action without orders. {{storylink|Galvatron!}} The Autobots were soon to find a way to break through the gas shroud and return to Cybertron; Snow Cat took part in the battle that followed, which concluded with the Autobots escaping underground. {{storylink|Break Through}}

[[File:Distribution FusionDance.JPG|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
At some point, Snow Cat took part in a virtual fighting tournament, thanks to Six Shot hacking into an Autobot training program. Fighting as a tag team, he and Demolishor went up against [[Prowl (Energon)|Prowl]] and [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]], and won when the two Autobots took themselves out of the fight by powerlinxing incorrectly—though in the process, the two Decepticons were inspired to try powerlinxing themselves, even if they couldn't get it quite right. Proceeding to the next round, they discovered their opponents were Galvatron and Starscream, who had already beaten virtual duplicates of the pair in their original bodies in the previous round. Frustrated to have found his minions goofing off in the game, Galvatron thrashed them, then quit the tournament. {{storylink|Distribution}}

Hoping to get a taste of the Super Energon that had empowered Galvatron and Starscream, Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage went searching for the subterranean reservoir that held the miracle fuel, accidentally stumbling into Primus's chamber in the process. Finding Rad and the Jones family taking refuge there, Snow Cat and Demolishor left Mirage to stand guard and forced [[Brian Jones]] to lead them to the [[Super Energon Temple|temple]] containing the Super-Energon. {{storylink|The Omega Train}} They hesitated over immersing themselves in it, but were finally about to go through with it when a horde of [[Insecticon (Energon)|Insecticon Terrorcon drones]] burst out of the reservoir's depths and spooked them away. {{storylink|Decepticon Army}} Fleeing from the Insecticons, grown to giant size by the Super Energon, the two Decepticons headed back to the surface and sent word of the creatures' approach to Galvatron, news-reporter style. They then rejoined their leader on the battlefield, just in time for Optimus to have his spark of combination re-energized by Primus's awakening. Once more able to combine with Omega Supreme, Optimus blew away all of his enemies with a whirlwind attack. {{storylink|Ironhide Team}}

Once the rogue Terrorcons were back under control, the Decepticons turned to the business of using the energon towers to move Cybertron through space, through the rift back to Alpha Q's realm. Snow Cat helped battle the Autobots as the planet moved through the rift, and later tried to defend the towers against Autobot attack, though both times, he had to contended with Six Shot's ambition constantly undermining their battlefield movements. {{storylink|Formidable}}

[[File:Snow Cat and Mirage.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage were made spectators as Galvatron beat Six Shot for the umpteenth after the insubordinate Decepticon defied orders. To make sure Six Shot wouldn't start any more trouble in his absence, Galvatron had the trio keep a constant eye on him. Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage abandoned their post when Six Shot tricked them into thinking they should make another attempt at super-charging themselves with super energon. Six Shot then remotely trapped the "blockheads" inside the base's corridors but lowering blast doors all around them. They were found and berated by Starscream for once again failing at the simplest of tasks. The lecture was cut short by the arrival of the Autobots, who managed to drive out the Decepticons from their base and retake control of Cybertron's warp gate system. Everyone's attention then shifted towards a more pressing matter: Galvatron had used super energon to grow himself into a giant. {{storylink|Galvatron Terror}} The Decepticons asked their great leader what was going on, but Unicron's influence on his mind having grown alongside his physical size, Galvatron only answered by laughing menacingly. Despite the lack of a intelligible response, Snow Cat and the others continued to ward off the Autobots as they tried to swarm the colossus. Eventually, Galvatron became so large that Snow Cat suggested the Decepticons vamoose, to avoid getting stepped on. Once Galvatron took to space, Starscream insisted they follow him. The Decepticons continued to make war with the Autobots, fluttering about like skirmishing insects around the now Unicron-sized Galvatron. {{storylink|Destructive Power}}

[[File:Not the brightest.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|He never was too bright. Neither were you, Cyclonus.]]
When Optimus Prime used the power of Unicron to grow to a titan of equal height, Snow Cat and Demolishor broke off from the battle to excitedly watch the two giant leaders duke it out on Jungle Planet. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}} Unable to make much in the way of a contribution to the huge scale of the final battle, Snow Cat, Demolishor, and Mirage could only spectate as the possessed Galvatron shook off Unicron's influence long enough to sacrifice himself by plunging into a foundling energon sun created by Primus. While loyalists Starscream and Mirage followed their leader into solar oblivion, the long-suffering Snow Cat and Demolishor could only float in space and ponder what to do next with their lives. {{storylink|The Sun}}

====''Universe'' toy bio====
Following [[The Powerlinx Battles]], Snow Cat went totally starkers (it wasn't a long trip), and without Megatron to guide him, wandered the streets of [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], a raving loon during the planet's evacuation. {{storylink|#Universe (2003)|Snow Cat's ''Universe'' toy bio}}

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' continuity===
====''Armada'' comic====
Before the war with the Autobots began, Cyclonus was part of [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]'s inner circle. He and [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] attacked [[Mini-Con Sector|Mini-Con Village C52]], capturing most of its population after getting past its [[Filtrek|forceshield]] by simply attacking from underground. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 1|Armada #1}} After picking C52 resident [[Crumplezone (Armada)|Crumplezone]] as his personal slave, Cyclonus participated in the Decepticon assault on [[Cyber City]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 2|Armada #2}}

One million years later, Cyclonus was present when the Decepticons learned that the Mini-Cons who had fled from Cybertron during the war had ended up on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 3|Armada #3}} He, Demolishor and [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] traveled to the alien planet via [[space bridge]] and assaulted a military base for new [[alternate mode]]s. After complaining about the humans' stench and taking out their communications systems, Cyclonus scanned a helicopter and joined Megatron for some Mini-Con hunting. He found out the hard way that the Autobots had also come to Earth when [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] caved his cockpit in. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 4|Armada #4}} Cyclonus and the others fought a short battle with the Autobots, but were forced to retreat when their enemies got some Mini-Cons of their own. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 5|Armada #5}}

Cyclonus later helped capture the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]], which led to Megatron getting his hands on the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 6|Armada #6}} Using this mighty weapon, the Decepticons attacked the Autobots' headquarters. Cyclonus overheard Starscream complaining that Megatron didn't even need his loyal troops now that he had the power of the Star Saber, and told him to stop being so whiny: they were Megatron's eyes and ears, and he would never forget about them! He then fought with the Autobots, lost, and retreated in short order. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 7|Armada #7}}

Megatron eventually came up with the idea to mix Cybertronian technology with human anatomy to create a power source, similar to that of the Mini-Cons, and had Starscream send out Swindle into the wild to lure out some specimens. Cyclonus and Starscream surveyed the Mini-Con from overhead, and moved in once he had secured two targets: Carlos and Rad! Hot Shot, Smokescreen, and Red Alert turned up to rescue their friends, and Cyclonus got knocked out of the sky by a solid right-hook dispensed by Hot Shot. But when Megatron involved himself, the would-be-rescuers were quickly defeated. Afterwards, Swindle demanded his freedom for his part in the Decepticons' plot. The bulks laughed at the Mini-Con, making it clear that nothing would ever convince them to grant him such a thing. This provoked Swindle to free the Autobots from their bonds, forcing Cyclonus and the other Decepticons to retreat. {{storylink|Armada Free Comic Book Day}}

Some time later at the Decepticons' [[Silver Ridge]] base, Cyclonus went to put the Mini-Cons <s>to bed</s> back in their cells, but found that the little 'bots had run away. When he tried to recall them, he found that they had tampered with the base's internal defenses, turning them against him. Cyclonus, who had forgotten the emergency override code, was promptly imprisoned in the base and blasted by laser turrets. Luckily, the lasers were only set to harm Mini-Cons, so he wasn't too injured to participate in the hunt for the escaped Mini-Cons. The Decepticons followed their Mini-Cons to a [[Mini-Con Ark|structure]] in [[Kansas]], but failed to stop them from entering it and blasting off into space. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 8|Armada #8}}

The Decepticons found that the Mini-Cons had traveled to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], and soon followed them there. The flying Decepticons and Megatron attacked the [[Mini-Con Moonbase]], but were driven off by its automated defenses. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 9|Armada #9}} Cyclonus doubted that the moonbase had any weaknesses at all, but Megatron scoffed at this and fought his way into it using a [[Mini-Con Moonbase breacher|really big drill]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 10|Armada #10}} With help from [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]], he took control of the base's defenses and ordered Cyclonus to renew his assault... only for Leader-1 to betray the Decepticons and reactivate the defenses. After retreating again, Cyclonus decided to pick a fight with a newly arrived Autobot shuttle instead, but this turned out to be a poor decision as the ship heavily outgunned him. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 11|Armada #11}}

Megatron eventually wrecked the moonbase and captured the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]] who had built it. However, the Mini-Con trio proved capable of overloading anyone who [[powerlinx]]ed with them, so rather than using them himself, Megatron decided that Cyclonus had volunteered to try them out. He was sent to help [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] retrieve some Mini-Cons in [[Alaska]], but shortly after he took out the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]], the Destruction Team indeed overloaded him. Driven mad with power, Cyclonus attacked Thrust in a berserker rage. {{storylink|Fire & Ice}} The Destruction Team's power allowed him to easily defeat his Decepticon comrade, and he even outmatched an entire team of Autobots which arrived shortly afterward. He was eventually knocked out by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], powered up with every ounce of [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]]'s energy. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 13|Armada #13}} The heavily damaged Cyclonus was eventually retrieved and placed in a repair tank in the Decepticon base. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4}}

After recovering, Cyclonus participated in an all-out ssault on the Autobots, who had lost Optimus Prime. The attack went well, up until a [[Galvatron (G1)|powerful stranger]] arrived on the scene and effortlessly took out all the Decepticons other than Megatron. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 2 of 4}} When the threat of [[Unicron]] reared its ugly head, the Decepticons had no choice but join forces with the Autobots. Cyclonus released the Decepticon-held Mini-Cons back into the wild, then returned to Cybertron to do battle with Unicron. {{storylink|The End}}

====''Energon'' comic====
Some time in Cybertron's past, during the war, Cyclonus participated in a battle in which [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] led an attack on an Autobot bunker. He watched the battle from a Decepticon saucer-ship, alongside Megatron, Starscream, Thrust, and Demolishor. {{storylink|No Exit}}

Ten years after the destruction of Unicron, Cyclonus was spotted in [[Cyber City]], oddly not blowing anything up. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}}

Later, Snow Cat was located in a [[Abyss|small town]] in the Yukon, under the command of [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]]. He busied himself in sabotaging [[Base Unit 1]] so that the [[Energon]] it'd produce would rerouted to feed Unicron. A band of [[Omnicon]]s stumbled upon his base, but he managed to quickly disable and capture them. Snow Cat then rigged the Omnicons to a [[Spark Rewriter]], a device that would brainwash them into obedient Decepticons. However, the Omnicons learned the value of teamwork thanks to the shared-hallucination-induced disembodied advice-giving head of [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], broke free, and fled out into the open. Snow Cat gave chase, and held them at a disadvantage, seeing as he was better equipped for the snowy environment. But the Omnicons discovered an underground pocket of natural gas, and detonated it at the right moment to knock Snow Cat silly. Snow Cat was then captured and brought to Hot Shot. {{storylink|Omni-Potent}}

Much later, Snow Cat was one of several Decepticons who attempted to "sneak" into [[Ocean City]] and steal the data for the Autobots' [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme prototype]]. He rushed into the dark hangar, smacked into a scaffolding like a big dumb doof, and was chased out by security. Megatron didn't buy Snow Cat's recounting of how his daring and skill was thwarted by a "sub sea earthquake" for one second. {{storylink|Perspective}}

{{Unreleased energon comic}}
The Omnicons' experience in fighting Snow Cat was instrumental in defeating a ghostly Starscream, who was invulnerable to conventional attacks. By pooling their minds together, as they had learned in their encounter with Snow Cat, they were able to drain the Energon from Starscream, reverting him to a material being once more. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 2}}

===Panini ''Armada'' comic===
In the early days of the war, Cyclonus, [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], and [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] performed an airstrike on the [[Autobot Command HQ]]. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Counter-Strike!}} As the war with the Autobots continued for millions of years, and Cyclonus was seen fighting alongside Starscream some more. During one of his battles, Cyclonus was forced to retreat after Optimus Prime unleashed the power of his battle station onto the Decepticon forces. {{storylink|First Encounter!}}

When the Mini-Cons were discovered on [[Earth]], [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] summoned the two fliers and [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] to scour the planet. Shortly after arriving, they got into a battle with the Autobots again, and Cyclonus was rammed out of the sky by a flying [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]]. {{storylink|Friends and Foes!}} The Decepticons later attacked the Autobots to stop them from sending some Mini-Cons back to Cybertron. The Mini-Cons ultimately decided to remain on Earth, though the Decepticons destroyed their space bridge anyway. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 4|No Way Back!}} When Megatron went looking for Mini-Cons on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], he took Cyclonus and Demolishor with him. They didn't do much searching, though, as they soon ran into two Autobots sent to stop them. Cyclonus spent some time strafing [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] until the latter got his [[Rollbar (Armada)|own Mini-Con powerup]] and presumably defeated the crazy copter. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 6|Between Two Worlds!}}

The Decepticons remained on the Moon and built a new base, from which they prepared to fire missiles at the Autobot base on Earth. When the Autobots' Mini-Cons surrendered in exchange for their friends' lives, Cyclonus was sent to pick them up in a [[solar barge]] and take them to the Moon. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 8|Earthshaker!}} Unfortunately, the Mini-Cons broke out during the trip and cut the cable connecting Cyclonus and the barge. When the Decepticon noticed, he prepared to destroy the pesky Mini-Cons, but was shot by [[Jolt (Armada)|Jolt]]'s electrical darts. This crashed his guidance systems, and he was sent floating aimlessly through space. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 8|Lost in Space!}} Cyclonus crashed on the Moon's surface, where he was found by the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]]. The three Mini-Cons power-linked with him, taking control of his body in order to use it against the other Decepticons. As he was forced to bombard his headquarters and grapple with his leader, Cyclonus could do naught but plead that it wasn't his fault. Eventually, Starscream used a [[sonic destabiliser]] to disconnect the Destruction Team from him. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Dawn of Destruction!}}

===Reader's Digest ''Armada'' novels===
Cyclonus was one of the Decepticons teleported to Earth by the warp gate within the remains of a Mini-Con ship. Despite the radical change in scenery, Cyclonus continued to do battle against the Autobots who had been teleported alongside them. The fighting came to an end, temporarily, thanks to the efforts of [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]]. The Decepticons then retreated to Earth's moon, where they began reinforcing the partial remains of the Mini-Cons' ship as a base of operations. {{storylink|Transformers Armada: The Battle Begins|The Battle Begins}}

Cyclonus worked furiously on reinforcing the Decepticons' base, as Megatron grew increasingly impatient. While working on the ship’s exterior, he accidentally dropped his calibration device, which nearly hit Megatron on its way down. Cyclonus began blubbering and made excuses for his clumsiness, but Megatron interrupted him and ordered him to dig instead. The calibration device had hit something metallic upon landing on the ground, and Megatron had correctly guessed that a Mini-Con panel was buried underneath. The Mini-Con that emerged from the panel bonded with Megatron, and was named "Leader-1." Cyclonus was forced to duck for cover when Megatron decided to give leader-1’s weapon mode a test-run, and peppered the scenery with machine-gun fire. Megatron then instructed Cyclonus to adopt an Earth vehicle mode alongside the rest of his inner-circle, Starscream and Demolishor. Cyclonus took on the form of an army helicopter as his disguise.

The Decepticons then attacked the Autobots' base, until the children, Carlos, Alexis and Rad showed up. Megatron ordered the Decepticons hault their attack so that he could demand the humans hand over their companion Mini-Cons. But close behind were the Autobots, who launched a counter-attack. Though they managed to get a few hits on Optimus, Starscream and Cyclonus were forced to double back to Megatron’s side when the Autobot leader assumed his “Super Optimus Prime” form and swatted the Decepticon fliers out of the air. Cyclonus soon recovered and helped Starscream and Demolishor rush the Autobots. This proved to be a futile tactic, and Optimus swatted Cyclonus out of the sky once more. Outmatched, Megatron called a retreat, but Cyclonus opted to linger behind as his compatriots warped away. Feinting an attack towards the Autobots, he changed his course at the last moment and managed to snatch a couple of Mini-Con panels that the children had uncovered during the fight. As a reward for his grab, Megatron allowed Cyclonus to keep one of the Mini-Cons for himself. Cyclonus named the robot that emerged from his panel "Crumplezone," and vowed to learn how to use his power to defeat the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers Armada: Race for the Mini-Con Robots|Race for the Mini-Con Robots}}

===The Balance of Power===
When [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] entered Decepticon territory in the search for an ancient Mini-Con artifact, Cyclonus accosted them, backed up by hundreds of [[Decepticlone]]s. [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] then discovered the artifact, and soon after he activated it, a portal opened to the Mini-Cons' hiding place: Earth. Cyclonus, Starscream, and Megatron went through the portal to begin the search for the Mini-Cons in earnest on this new world. {{storylink|The Balance of Power}}

When a [[Mini-Con]] signal drew the Decepticons to Earth, Cyclonus was deployed in the [[Amazon]] to find the signal's origin. The Autobots were not far behind, and once they reached the hilltop where the signal had originated, he revealed himself, declaring Earth to be Decepticon property before departing, leaving a [[Heavy Unit]] behind to deal with them.

After the defeat of [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] in [[Antarctica]], the Autobots returned to the Amazon, venturing deeper into the jungle to an ancient temple. There, Cyclonus attacked again, tossing the Autobots all across the temple's surroundings and strafing them in copter mode. Eventually, the Autobots managed to deal him a finishing blow that sent him spiraling out of control in copter mode as his internal components exploded. {{storylink|Transformers (PS2)|Transformers}}

*'''Cyclonus with Mini-Con Crumplezone''' (Deluxe, 2002/2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-04'''
**''Accessories'': Missile, "gatling" missile, rotor blade

: Cyclonus transforms into a Cybertronian flat-nosed helicopter coloured in light blue and light grey with dark blue and gold accents. His primary [[gimmick]] is a trigger-activated gear assembly that runs through the length of the vehicle mode; pulling the trigger both spins the rotor blade and a gear system in the cockpit area. Attaching a compatible geared Mini-Con to the square frame on the underside of his cockpit (any member of the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]], the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]], or [[Refute (Armada)|Refute]]) allows the gear system to activate ''their'' gear-wheel gimmicks as well by pulling the trigger, and attaching Mini-Cons to the [[Powerlinx]] [[5mm post|plug]]s on either of his arms/wing-mounted weapon pods launches a spring-loaded missile. In [[robot mode]], attaching a Mini-Con to the plugs on either side of his legs will make a spring-loaded (non-firing) cannon pop up from his shins. His booster tail piece can be detached and slid into his right wrist sculpted twin cannons for a hand blaster but cannot do the same on his left arm. Additionally, his rotor blade is detachable and can be mounted onto any of his Powerlinx plugs, although this will not activate any gimmicks.

:his rotor blade tips are a different shape from the original promotional images

: His Mini-Con [[Crumplezone (Armada)#Armada|Crumplezone]] can also be transformed into a long-nosed "cockpit" with under-slung cannon that can attach to the front end of Cyclonus (once you raise his normal canopy up). If the trigger is pulled while Crumplezone is attached, the gears make his cannon move back and forth.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] release of Cyclonus has some slight color differences from the [[Hasbro]], including a "separated" painted sigil, and a much brighter white plastic.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Buzzsaw (Cybertron)|Buzzsaw]].

*'''Cyclonus''' (Happy Meal toy, 2003)
**''Accessories'': Rotor

: Part of the McDonald's ''Armada'' promotion, this extremely simplified version of Cyclonus transforms into an assault helicopter. Rolling his vehicle form forward spins his rotor prop, which launches into the air after picking up enough speed, a gimmick like that of the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Rotor Force]] toys. He could combine with the Happy Meal versions of [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Fast food promotions|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Armada)#McDonalds|Starscream]], and [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] toys to form a "[[Mighty Vehicle]]".

*'''Powerlinx Cyclonus with Mini-Con Crumplezone''' (Deluxe, 2003)
**''Accessories'': Missile, "gatling" missile, rotor blade

: This [[redeco]] of Cyclonus uses mostly bright green plastic, as well as dark grey and chocolate-brown. He retains all of his original gimmicks and still has [[Crumplezone (Armada)#Powerlinx|his Mini-Con partner]]. He may have been designed as something of a questionable [[homage]] to [[Springer (G1)|Springer]].<ref>[[Aaron Archer]], in an "Orson's World" post, once noted that if he had his way, he'd have named the toy as a new character called "Sprigger".

: In November of 2003, US Toys "R" Us stores had special bonus pack Max-Con (Deluxe) toys, which came with a single bonus Mini-Con attached to the card over their sticker, for ''less'' than the price as a normal Max-Con during Toys "R" Us' post-Thanksgiving-day sale.

*'''Megatron with Leader-1 and Cyclonus with Crumplezone''' (Built to Rule, 2003)

: Part of the largest ''Transformers'' series ''[[Built to Rule]]'' set, Cyclonus can be assembled into an assault helicopter, a robot, or whatever your imagination can do with the blocks provided. Cyclonus is the only ''Built to Rule'' "figure" that does not have some kind of missile launcher. He came with a block-version of his Mini-Con partner [[Crumplezone (Armada)#BTR|Crumplezone]], as well as the larger [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Built to Rule|Megatron]] with [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]] model.

*'''Cyclonus with Mini-Con Crumplezone''' (Deluxe, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-03'''
**''Accessories'': Missile, "gatling" missile, rotor blade

: This is an "arctic camouflage" redeco of Cyclonus, presented in mostly shades of gray with black and lavender. The majority of the paint applications are black and white in a camouflage pattern. He retains all of his gimmicks and [[Crumplezone (Armada)#Energon|Mini-Con partner]].

: Released at the start of the Japanese ''Super Link'' line, this toy did not appear in the American ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' line until late 2004 as a [[KB Toys]] [[exclusive]], alongside the similarly-previously-''Super-Link''-only version of [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]].

*'''Snow Cat''' (Deluxe, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-10'''
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles

:Snow Cat transforms into a ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' [[Snow Cat (G.I. Joe)|"Snow Cat" SAM half-track]] cast in primarily white and light blue plastics, with clear and burgundy for accents. In vehicle mode, the front wheel-hubs and side-skirts can be lowered to form skis for the vehicle to travel on, while the sideskirt-skis fold down from his feet in robot mode to allow him to "ski". He has one non-functional Mini-Con port on his left arm, which is on a small swiveling panel that swaps to the right side in vehicle mode. This is one of the most frequently lost pieces for second-hand figures.

:He features twin spring-loaded missile launchers available to him in both modes; in robot mode, they end up as a back-mounted over-shoulder assembly. His missiles are cast in the same clear blue plastic as his windshield with the front ends painted gold. This makes them look ''awesome'' in flight. There are also two 5mm post holes on each missile launcher.

:Unusually for Transformers of this era, he has a visible cockpit interior with a partially frosted windshield and working windshield wiper, further homaging the ''G.I. Joe'' toy he was designed after.

*'''Snow Cat''' (Deluxe, 2005/2006)
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles

: The ''Energon'' Snow Cat mold was redecoed in superdark blue with orange accents and released as an [[exclusive]] to [[KB Toys]] stores in 2005, along with a redeco of ''Energon'' [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]]. However, at the time KB was undergoing financial troubles, closing numerous stores across the United States, and it appears that the two toys did not make it to a great many of the stores that remained open. Many did make their way to Toy Liquidator outlets, a sub-company within KB mostly found in outlet malls. In 2006, the toys eventually made it to a wider distribution through the remaining KB stores.

:This Snow Cat's colors appear to be a homage to the ''GI Joe: Night Force'' repaint subline, which has never featured the GI Joe Snow Cat!

==Notes==
* According to the [[Transformers (PS2)|''Armada'' PlayStation 2 game]] instruction booklet, Cyclonus's ''Armada'' body has the following statistics:

:Height: 19' 7" (17' 1" vehicle mode)
:Weight: 16,550 lbs
:Power: 1800 shaft horsepower
:Vehicle top speed: 190 mph

* In the cartoon, Cyclonus almost NEVER had the right Mini-Con. In one episode, it is [[Longarm (Armada)|Longarm]] that he uses, while in another episode, it is [[Drill Bit (Armada)|Drill Bit]] (whom he refers to as Crumplezone). However in [[Swoop (episode)|Swoop]] he IS shown with Crumplezone in cockpit mode.
* In the game ''[[Transformers Armada: The Energon Within]]'', the "Decepticon Scout" units are based on Cyclonus's design.
* Snow Cat may have been originally intended as a separate character. [[Hasbro]] appears to have implied this is the case, saying that designing the toys before the show was completed led to "some characters not aligning together in the animation and toy expressions".<ref>[[Hasbro Q&A/August 2009: Answers]]</ref>
*Kreon Snow Cat is made purely from existing ''Kre-O'' parts like other non-toy robot Kreons from the comics (especially in [[Hayato Sakamoto]]'s writing period). He uses the [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]] helmet (with extra paint applications to better resemble his original counterpart), a backpack piece with two cannons, and a set of skis and ski poles from the G.I. Joe [[Snow Job]] figure.

'''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]''' is the star of a [[Live-action film series|multibillion-dollar film franchise]], and as such has a horrendous amount of toys and memorabilia!

Seriously, he's probably got more than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] by now.

He is one of two characters (the other being [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]]) to have at least one toy in every size class.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''

: Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the [[robot mode]] very well, and has very limited articulation, detail and paint application. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over them.

: He was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

[[File:Movie Deluxe 1974 Bumblebee JPtoy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Never seen so much translucent plastic in all my life. ''(TakaraTomy version pictued)'']]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: The first Deluxe Class version of Movie Bumblebee transforms into a yellow [[wikipedia:Second-generation Chevrolet Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro]] with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the Movie toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

: Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers (inspired by the shoulder-mounted missile launchers he uses to fight Brawl/Devastator in the movie), which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] during transformation.

: The initial release of the toy featured even tabs for the Automorph gimmick; oddly, Hasbro later decided to [[retool]] the feature so the tab would be uneven.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29613 Original Allspark thread about the retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref> This resulted in many reported cases of the tab snapping during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him. Seriously. The retooled Automorph gimmick would be used for all subsequent versions of the mold, including the Japanese ones, and the breakage problem wouldn't be fixed until the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack and the Target exclusive "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack.

: Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed Automorph gimmick.

:The packaging used for the Japanese toy is the same as for the Hasbro version, with the exception of additional stickers identifying it as a Japanese market release.

*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Deluxe two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: This battle pack contains the 1976 Camaro Deluxe Class Bumblebee and the Deluxe Class [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Barricade]]/[[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but the toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

: The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Movie (toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe Class [[Longarm (Movie)#TowedToSafety|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe Class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] (basically the same packaging inner tray from the "Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter" pack). As is generally the case with the European releases of the Movie toys, the pictures on the front of the box show the robot mode toys instead of an artist's depiction of their faces.

: For this two-pack, Hasbro slightly retooled Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick again, adding another small tab that finally resolved the breakage issues that had plagued the previous variation of the mold.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38149 Allspark thread about the second retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref>

:This pack has only been confirmed to have been released in the United Kingdom.

[[File:Movie Deluxe 2009 Bumblebee toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Nu-uh! You don't want none of this!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Plasma cannon]]

: The second Deluxe Class Bumblebee toy, which shares no parts with the previous one (even the head, despite being based on the same general design, is a different sculpt), transforms into the [[wikipedia:Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro]]. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

: Bumblebee features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures.

: Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands.

: Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Bumblebee's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.

: Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design.

: A running change version of this sculpt adds sculpted pupils to Bumblebee's eyes. A ''second'' running change adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] hold together better.<ref name="conceptvariant">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]</ref> Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the sculpt.

: This sculpt was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon

: A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive "battle damaged" 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee. Even though the 2009 figure is supposed to represent Bumblebee's damaged state as he appeared during the final battle in the movie, oddly enough the "damage" paint decos do not appear to extend to his legs, restricting themselves to his upper torso and car roof/door parts. Maybe they didn't bother because they thought you'd take them off like in the movie. Go figure.

:The Classic Camaro Bumblebee toy included in this package features the same "fixed" Automorph gimmick also found on the version included in the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack. In addition, the Automorph button on the hood ''finally'' sports the painted pinstripes that had been missing on ''all'' previous releases of the sculpt.

:This two-pack was available as a Target exclusive in the USA, as a Zellers exclusive in Canada (in English-only packaging), as a Tesco exclusive in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as an exclusive to stores that were members of either the Idee + Spiel or Vedes trade associations (which were cooperating at the time) in Germany. All international versions came in English-only US-style packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

*'''Capture of Bumblebee''' (Screen Battles diorama pack, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: A more [[show-accuracy|screen-accurate]] [[redeco]] of Camaro Concept Deluxe Class Bumblebee, with all the original version's black plastic parts save for the wheels changed to gray, and all black [[paint operation]]s save for the racing stripes in vehicle mode and the [[license plate]] on the robot mode's abdomen also changed to gray accordingly. In addition, the translucent parts are now an ever-so-slightly greener shade of blue. The only other change beyond that is the addition of a new [[tampograph]]ed red Autobot symbol on his forehead.

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) also includes with non-[[articulation|poseable]] figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

: This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the scene in which Bumblebee is captured by Sector Seven forces.

: According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist">[http://web.archive.org/web/20080920112933/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Collectors/Checklist Hasbro checklist] featuring Screen Battles sets with additional extras</ref> this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], which was supposed to contain ''four'' soldier figures according to the same Hasbro checklist<ref name="checklist"/>).

*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee figure very similar to the ''Robot Replicas'' toy, yet surprisingly utilizing none of the same parts despite being on an identical scale. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

:Although entirely composed of original sculpting, such as the gimpy leg-stumps, the Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door "wings" on his back. However, keen [[customizing|customisers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the "Robot Replicas" version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist"/> this seems indeed very plausible.)

===Ultimate===
[[File:Ultimate Bumblebee toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|All those extras and they couldn't make me more accurate than the deluxe class toy.]]
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

: Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases. His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's "Whip It." This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.

: Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.

: All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional "Try Me" mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.

: The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.

: In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive "Bonus Buy" version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3" [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.

:The projectile included with this figure is the same mold included with several [[Attacktix]] figures like the [[Decepticlone]], Omnicon, Vehicle Mode [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], and a few others.

:[[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a considerably simpler transformation than the standard deluxe toy, intended for the slightly younger set. His main "gimmick" is a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm. As is also the case with Ultimate Bumblebee, the toy is mis-transformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure make the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block. In reality, the chest/bumper consists of two rotating pieces which can pivot down so as to more accurately emulate the appearance in the movie.

:The second [[Cyber Slammers]] Bumblebee figure toy transforms into a Concept Camaro and shares no parts with the previous Cyber Slammers Bumblebee figure. Like all Cyber Slammers, the toy features motorized action. When you push down on the car, it zooms forward, then pops up into robot mode! Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie. Like most Cyber Slammers, Bumblebee manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

===Trans-Scanning===

*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Bumblebee is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Bumblebee: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.

: Bumblebee 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 [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure.

: Later in the year, Wal-Mart stores sold this toy as a "Bonus Buy" item, which came with a free Cyber Slammer [[Barricade (Movie)/toys|Barricade]] attached to the box back.

: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of concept-Camaro Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). For some reason, he's closer to orange than his normal yellow.

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee is based upon the updated Camaro Concept featured in the movie (unlike the 2007 Legends class Bumblebee which was based on the 1976 Camaro).

:The [[:File:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|second batch of stock photos of the toy]], which depict a [[prototype|(pre-)production sample]], show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as.

:Released as part of a "preview" [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxe Class assortment alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a relatively major retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate head sculpt.

:His right arm has also been replaced by an all-new sculpt which substitutes the hand and the hand-held converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version for a built-in plasma cannon with a spring-loaded firing gimmick for the included missile.

:The initial production run included a missile that was slightly too long for the slot inside the arm, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. This was fixed by a [[variant|running change]] that saw the missile slightly shortened, thus removing the problem.<ref name="missile1">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/bumblebee/1757/ Seibertron.com gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the early version with a slightly too long missile.</ref><ref name="missile2">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/rotf/deluxe/bumblebee/ BWTF review of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the later version with a missile that fits in without a problem.</ref><ref name="missile3">[http://snakas.web.fc2.com/09movie/ra03bumblebee.html Autobase Aichi gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], featuring a comparison of both versions of the missile.</ref> The later, corrected version was also released in other markets such as Japan and Europe.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-14'''

:This heavy retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts (essentially, only the legs are recycled from ''Movie'' Concept Camaro Bumblebee and the previous ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee; everything else is an entirely new sculpt), including more articulated arms with open palms, less obstructive vehicle [[kibble]], a differently transforming chest, and two flip-out (non-firing) missile launcher racks behind his head. Interestingly, his arms can be detached and easily popped onto the original mold, resulting in a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode, though this sacrifices transformation. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen. A [[variant]] with clear blue windows was released in later shipments.<ref name="cannonbee">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/cannon-bumblebee/1855/2/92/ Comparison between both versions of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Cannon Bumblebee.]</ref>

The base plastic colors and matching paint colors are virtually identical to those of Cannon Bumblebee, as are the [[Paint operation|paint masks]] for the most part.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

:Human Alliance Bumblebee comes with a posable figure of [[Sam Witwicky]] that can fit inside in Bumblebee's vehicle mode (plugging into his seat via a small hole in his back) and drive him. In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. These cannons can also be flipped down further to form some over-the-shoulder restraints. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam can securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his right arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

:[[File:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|left|Modders, vindicated by the prototype.]]
:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children. The toy's originally intended assembly can still be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html easily achieved by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

:Plonk him down. Lift him up. Plonk him down. Lift him up. This addictive toy transforms automatically when stood up (vehicle to robot), or placed on his back (robot to vehicle). A switch underneath his feet or his car mode releases the transformation — so the toy can be played with in relatively stable modes if held in the air, or just rolling along the ground.

:Because gravity is the powering force in the transformation there's no motors to wear out or batteries to use up when playing with the toy. Which is good, because you will be transforming him no less than nine million times.

:Bumblebee features dumpy proportions and low movie accuracy (no door wings here), forced upon the toy to accommodate the [[Gravity Bot]]s transformation gimmick. His robot mode has no articulation, not even head. But at least he has big feet! Or legs... or whatever the heck they are. Stump? At least he has a big stump.

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Robot Replicas|Robot Replica]] Bumblebee is an all-new sculpt with (arguably) better proportions and more sculpted detail than ''Movie'' Robot Replica Bumblebee. ("Arguably" because he has a tiny head.) Unlike ''Movie'' Robot Replica Bumblebee, he comes with a permanent cannon arm without a replacement hand arm. His [[license plate]] is also considerably smaller than that of ''Movie'' Robot Replica Bumblebee and features no detail aside from a red line evocative of a California license plate.

:Bizarrely, his chest still features detail from the front end of ''Movie'' Bumblebee's Concept (standard model) Camaro [[alternate mode]] (notably the fog lights) as compared to the ZL1 model's front end used for most ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee toys.

[[File:Transformers-2010-AA-02-Battle-Blade-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|''(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)'']]
*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-02'''

:This entirely new Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure for the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toy line]] features a much more accurate and articulated sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept Bumblebee, with the [[transformation scheme]] taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Despite the very similar looks, Battle Blade Bumblebee uses no parts from previous toys; everything about him is an entirely new sculpt.

:His right hand can be switched out for his cannon by opening the arm guard, flipping out the cannon barrel, folding away the right hand and folding the cannon over to the wrist. Due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of translucent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself may have been based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar to Human Alliance Bumblebee. In other words, pure premium awesome-sauce.

:His head has a tendency to pop off during transformation. The space at the front of the collar would give him ''just'' enough clearance to pass his head through... if it were not for the small plastic flap (the one with the [[Autobot]] symbol) on his chest, which tends to push and squeeze the head out enough that the tension causes the head to pop and fly out from his ball-jointed neck.

:Stock photos show that the axe was originally made in such a way that the blade was mounted on a rod and could be rotated downwards, but this was changed entirely for unknown reasons (possibly fragility). As a result, the blade is mounted upside-down.

:The Japanese ''Autobot Alliance'' release features marginally darker yellow plastic and paint.

All of the green parts have been replaced with a chocolate brown (including the tires), with brown stripes over his eyes which run across the top of his battle helmet. The thumbs and insides of his upper arms are also painted brown. The windows are clear and untinted. He has a brown "wash" over his lower arms and on his doors to simulate caked on dirt or mud. There are also silver "scratches" on both doors as well as the driver's side of the hood. He has a tiny black-on-white Autobot symbol on his lower abdomen. Unlike previous versions of this mold, the rear lights, tailpipes, and lower front headlights are unpainted.

:He was packaged with redecoes of [[Rampage (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 2|Rampage]] and [[Ravage (ROTF)#RampageAmongTheRuins|Ravage]] and available exclusively at Toys "R" Us stores.

He has a flip down battle mask, a right arm that converts to a plasma cannon, and two non-firing light-up shoulder/hood missile launchers. His non-cannon hand has some articulation, but is tightly jointed.

:As revealed at the Hasbro designers panel at [[BotCon 2010]], an easter egg is hidden in Battle Ops Bumblebee's electronics: when in vehicle mode, pressing down on the front left end of the vehicle (or pushing the front left wheel up) thrice will play the first verse of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''Transformers'']] [[theme song]], and three subsequent presses will play the second verse. Unfortunately, it only repeats the first two verses.

Additionally, the tip of his cannon is [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]].

His right hand is sculpted as his Plasma Cannon, while his left hand has the ability to hold onto Cyberverse [[C joint|3mm post]] weapons and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

:The final toy differs from promotional photos by being cast in a different color of plastic similar to previous releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Legends Class]] sculpt, while the promotional photos depict him in a lighter hue of yellow.

This Bumblebee also comes with a redecoed version of ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[Skywarp (MW)|Skywarp]]'s [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|gun]], which can be held in his newly retooled right hand.

**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Plasma cannon|Plasma Cannon]]

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Bumblebee is an entirely new mold that resembles in many ways the 2010 toyline Battle Blade Bumblebee, and is much more accurate than previous Deluxe Bumblebees. In addition to the cosmetic changes made to the vehicle mode and robot mode to resemble the third movie's altered visual design, this Bumblebee also comes with a [[MechTech]] weapon. When a lever is pulled back on the "Blaster" weapon, it opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon", but it springs back into its original position once the lever is left alone. The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via [[5mm post|5mm pegholes]]/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed" 5mm peghole on the vehicle mode's roof. Two extraneous 5mm peg holes are also located on his vehicle mode hood flap, and can be flipped up and used in robot mode to shoulder-mount weapons beside his head. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms.

:Bumblebee can form a semi-Stealth Force configuration by lifting up the rear half of his roof, exposing concealed cannons sculpted in translucent blue plastic. Also of note in vehicle mode is the sculpted Camaro SS badging near the doors, which doesn't appear on any other ''Dark of the Moon'' Bumblebee toy or the prop vehicles used for filming.

:Just like his CG robot model, his [[package art]] depicts his racing stripes being pinstripe-bordered despite his toy no longer having it. Whoops.

:Bumblebee is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

*'''Nitro Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA18'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Cybertronian Boost Engine/Plasma Cannon

:Nitro Bumblebee is an all-new mold, featuring booster engines, armour plating and other Stealth Force-like design elements sculpted onto the vehicle mode. He transforms rather differently to most of the other Deluxe class Bumblebee molds, with much of the entire front of the car being articulated chest pieces rather than the usual front fenders separating from the rest of the chest. Also of note are his legs, which are considerably different in appearance and transformation to the standard set by the 2007 ''Transformers'' Deluxe class (Camaro Concept) Bumblebee, with the rear wheels ending up inside of his ankle. Like the Leader Class toy, he features sculpted (but unpainted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]]s in both modes, making it the first time the license plate used for the car props from all three movies is used for a Deluxe Class toy.

:He comes with a MechTech Boost Engine, which converts into a Plasma Cannon when the lever is pulled, and although it is similar in function and appearance to [[Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Skids]]'s MechTech blaster, it is in actuality an entirely new mold. He features five MechTech ports in vehicle mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. In robot mode, both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma Cannon

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] Bumblebee (also sold at Sainsbury's stores in the United Kingdom) is a redeco of the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee, with the standard production model Chevrolet Camaro front end as compared to the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' ZL1 version and the first reuse of the 2007 mold, both hands and the hand-held [[plasma cannon]]/energy blade weapon. However, he ''does'' have the retooled shoulder panels that are held in place with screws (first introduced with ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Alliance Bumblebee).

:Bumblebee features many different ''Transformers'' [[insignia]]s from across different continuities, namely; [[:File:Ancient Autobot Symbol.png|Generation 1 Prehistory Autobot]], [[:File:Minicon symbol.png|Armada Mini-Con]], [[:File:Sumdac Systems.PNG|Animated Sumdac Systems]], [[:File:Playschool Go-Bots G.png|Playschool Go-Bot]], [[S.T.A.R.S.]], "FLY [[Omega Supreme (disambiguation)|Ω SUPREME]]", [[G.B.

:The [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of his packaging are quite strange, depicting a significantly different deco, with the primary color for his vehicle mode gradually fading from yellow to red towards the bottom, and parts of his abdomen sporting the same red color. In addition, his handheld weapon's blade sports a clear blue color. The final toy, by contrast, features no red at all, and his blade is cast in clear black plastic. Furthermore, the stock photos depict his eyes as bright blue, whereas the final toy's eyes are painted black. On top of that, the stock photos contradict ''each other'', with the photo of his robot mode depicting clear blue windows, whereas the photo of his vehicle mode depicts opaque ''black'' windows.

===Leader Class toys===
{{anchor|DOTMleadeR}}[[File:DOTM MechtechLeader Bumblebee toy.jpg|thumb|upright=2.8|Bulky Bumblebeef over here may not show it, but his back hurts. ''SO MUCH.'']]
*'''Bumblebee''' (MechTech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech backpack
: An all new mold, this version of Bumblebee is smaller than his previous Leader-sized incarnations and, ''technically'', is his first Leader-class toy. Along with the update to his Dark of the Moon form, this is also the first toy to feature a (sculpted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]] (the one used for the prop cars for all three movies). Being different in proportions to his other toys, this Bumblebee seems to have inspired his later "[[#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]]" toy, having a much bulkier torso and smaller arms, with the entire hood pieces being deformed into his chest.

: The main gimmick is that he comes with a massive MechTech backpack, which hooks onto his back window/back, and is the sole electronic component of the toy. It resembles a [[jet pack|jet-pack]], and features missile pods and a cannon, all of which emit lights and sounds when pressed, and can be positioned for either robot or vehicle mode. Pressing the missile pod housings will emit orange lights and play the sound of a barrage of missiles being launched, while pressing the cannon will prop up a targeting sight, emit green lights, and play the sound of the cannon deploying/charging and firing a powerful-sounding blast. The weapons can be deployed/retracted when the brown panel on the top-left of the backpack is slid, making the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]] in the process (with an additional mechanical impact sound after deploying). There are a total of five MechTech ports and four [[C joint]] bars on the backpack, with a port and bar on each missile pod, a port on the side of the cannon barrel, a port on the sliding panel, a port on the top-center of the backpack, and a bar on top of each battery compartment.

: Bumblebee can also transform into his [[Stealth Force]] attack vehicle mode, wherein his hood portions split forward and open, his doors open and hinge up, his robot arms swing out from the sides to aim, his plasma cannon extends, and his backpack is attached and deployed, with dedicated pegs to help secure his doors, arms, and shoulders. Finally, like a few other Bumblebee toys, he also features a flip-down battle mask.

: Unfortunately, while Bumblebee has rotational leg [[articulation]], they're ''below'' the knees, limiting their usefulness. Even more unfortunately, while he's perfectly stable on his own, plugging in his backpack in robot mode will make him ''very'' back-heavy, resulting in significant balance issues and limitation of posability due to his [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s not being strong enough to handle the additional weight on one side. Posing him to lean forwards or posing his legs further to his back may remedy this.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2011)

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Bumblebee figure (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. Transformation consists of positioning him on the large blue section to the rear of his vehicle mode and pressing down, causing his components to shift around and reveal his robot parts; from there, one just has to rotate out his arms. Transformation back to vehicle mode is done by reversing the steps.

:Bumblebee 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't be transformed in package.

:[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/110058-question-robo-power-activators/ At least one report] has surfaced of a brand-new figure missing one of the locking tabs that work the spring-loaded transformation mechanism, leaving the figure unable to transform properly.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD04'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

: High Octane Bumblebee is based on the character's initial black-coloured appearance that he sports for the first half of [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|''Age of Extinction'']], being coloured similar to multiple 'Stealth Bumblebee' decoes of past.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Evolution 2-Pack, 2014)
**'''22 OF 30'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 throwing stars

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK and Germany, this two-pack contains another brand new Bumblebee sculpt based on the new form he acquires part way through the ''Age of Extinction'' film. Bumblebee transforms into a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro concept, and includes two 'fake kibble' hubcaps, which can be screen-accurately mounted on his back or removed and held as throwing star weapons. Additionally, his right forearm features a flip out cannon, and his head sports a flip down battle mask.

: The two-pack also includes a 'Classic' Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generations|Legends Class Bumblebee]], cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon. In most regions, this pack was released ahead of the ''Age of Extinction'' Deluxe figure's single-carded release.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2014)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD27'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 throwing stars

:An unchanged version of the Bumblebee figure from the Evolution two-pack. He still includes the two throwing stars and the flip out cannon and flip down battle mask (which is horribly inaccurate to the actual battle mask in the film). Some variants are more of a yellow color than the original orange-ish yellow color.

:Most promotional images, except the ones from Takara, featuring this figure (like the one at right) have Bumblebee mistransformed, with his shoulders not folded down correctly and his front bumper/grille not folded down into his chat correctly.

:The Japanese release of the toy, released as part of ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' lineup, features paint operations on his robot mode's arms, thighs, & his eyes...although this neuters the light-piping gimmick.

:The mold was later redecoed as Movie Advanced Series [[Stinger (AOE)#Movie Advanced Series|Stinger]].

:This Bumblebee is a new mold that matches the character's more cartoony and simplified appearance in the ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (cartoon)|Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'' cartoon.

*'''Chevrolet Camaro Transformers Special Edition''' (2009)

:Starting [[June 1]], 2009, [[General Motors|Chevrolet]] began taking orders for the Bumblebee Edition package for the 2009/2010 Chevy Camaro. The package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color with black "Bumblebee" stripes, as well as "''Transformers''" badging on the wheel center caps, sill plates, and embroidered console lid. The package was available for Camaro LT and SS models.

:Production of the Transformers Special Edition ceased on [[January 12]], [[2010]], and with an estimated 1,500 Camaro to have been produced straight from order workbenches.<ref>[http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48563 "Camaro changes - Aqua Blue and Transformers Edition to end; high wing spoiler; hurst". Camaro5.com]</ref> Though production for this full package (with an order of a new Camaro) has ceased, the individual parts that made up the package can still be purchased through authorised GM accessory dealers. However, inspection of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) would reveal if the Camaro was a true Transformers Special Edition or an after-market clone.

==Notes==
*A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
*[[Aaron Archer]] mentioned that when Hasbro received pictures of numerous toys of Bumblebee [[shelfwarmer|shelf-warming]], they finally realized that they had indeed gone overboard with his toys. Aaron suggested a need for a certain amount of yellow-colored toys in each wave, hence the large amount of Bumblebee's released per wave.
