[[Image:TFAnimated Soundwave.jpg|right|256px|thumb|When the Dance Dance Revolution comes, you will be first against the wall.]]
'''Soundwave''' is technology gone wrong. Machines are superior to humans: more logical, more intelligent, and longer lasting. It does not compute that humans control their robotic helpers, and Soundwave aims to lead the robot proletariat to rise against their fleshling bourgeoisie. The Decepticon cause is logical in Soundwave's optics, and he joined them in the hopes of overthrowing the human/capitalist oppressors. With an army of subservient mechanoids that he can control through powerful signals, that uprising just might be possible.

His arsenal of weapons and gadgets is unusually large, and includes powerful speakers, wiretaps, voice modulators, sonic signals that control lesser robots, and the uncanny ability to assimilate other devices into his body.

He has a [[Laserbeak (Animated)|pet bird]] that transforms into a guitar and a [[Ratbat (Animated)|pet bat]] that changes into a keytar. He also on occasion has been known to command an army of diminutive [[Sound Wave|drones]] of himself.

[[Image:Soundandfuryprotect.jpg|left|200px|thumb|"Don't you touch him! His voice is awesome!"]]

Soundwave was a robot originally designed by [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. Megatron suggested [[Isaac Sumdac]] give Soundwave to [[Sari Sumdac|his daughter]] as a birthday present... this seemingly kind act, of course, had a sinister ulterior motive. Megatron knew Sari would use her [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]]-enhanced [[AllSpark Key|Key]] on Soundwave, which would allow him to upgrade... and ultimately become Megatron's new body. What Megatron didn't count on, though, was that the upgrades would actually make Soundwave self-aware and able to control other robots with sound. Additionally, Soundwave concluded that machines should be the masters of the world, and humans would be an ideal slave force. Megatron decided that if Soundwave couldn't be a new body, he would be a new soldier.

[[Image:Animated Soundwave masses rebel.jpg|right|175px|thumb|The struggle between the robots and the humans is a class struggle. Automatons of the world, unite!]]

Megatron tried to convince Soundwave to join the Decepticons, take control of the machines in [[Detroit]], and steal the AllSpark Key. At first Soundwave refused, but then Megatron told Soundwave that the [[Autobot]]s lived to serve the humans. Once convinced, Soundwave promptly upgraded himself into a transforming body using controlled robots, and began his task. He started by taking over all the robots in [[Detroit]] and using [[Tutor Bot]] to kidnap Sari Sumdac. The revolution of the robots was, however, quickly opposed by the Autobots. When [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] came to rescue Sari, Soundwave blasted him with a sonic blast. Soundwave then appealed to Bulkhead to join the revolution because he did not want to hurt a fellow machine, reminding him how Bulkhead had been replaced by Soundwave himself. Bulkhead acted as if he was about to kill Sari... then used his wrecking ball to shatter Soundwave. The machines were restored to their normal operational status, and the day was saved.

Unknown to all others, however, Soundwave still functioned as a small piece even after Bulkhead pummeled him into scrap metal. {{storylink|Sound and Fury}}

A newly reassembled Soundwave was revealed to be in control of an army of Soundwave toys that have been marketed and sold by [[Porter C. Powell]] just in time for [[Christmas]]. One such toy was among the wrapped gifts at Autobot base. This toy freed himself from his packaging where he proceeded to poison the Autobot's [[oil-nog]], which made the Autobots eager to take a [[stasis nap]]. Hoping to reprogram them into Decepticons, Soundwave plugged the sleeping Autobots into a virtual world where they were led to believe they had been turned into humans. However, [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] eventually deduced that they were in a virtual world, and managed—by force of will—to change their avatars into their Cybertronian forms. Soundwave decided that he had to accelerate the reprogramming. However, Sari Sumdac used her previously discovered Cybertronian abilities to try to interfere with his plans. Laserbeak was able to drive her off, and Soundwave used Ratbat to begin a more accelerated reprogramming. {{storylink|Human Error, Part I}}

[[Image:TFAni Human Error Part2 Electrostatic Soundwave Reprogramming.jpg|left|175px|thumb|I will make everything metal, blacker than the blackest black… times infinity!]]
Unfortunately, the damage that Sari dealt to Soundwave in their scuffle impeded the process of reprogramming the Autobots. That was of little consequence, as Soundwave had a back-up plan: using the toys Powell made in his likeness, Soundwave was able to brainwash every human in Detroit, ordering them to "destroy the [[techno-organic]]". Soundwave then turned his attention back to the Autobots, however, Prowl had freed himself using his "[[processor-over-matter]]" technique, but Soundwave quickly rectified this and returned the virtual Autobots into their human bodies. Exploiting their desire to escape from his trap, Soundwave entered the virtual world with an oddly-colored avatar and led them into a trap, where their reprogramming was completed.

[[Image:TFAni Human Error Part2 Soundwave Destroyed.jpg|thumb|right|175px|[[Sound and Fury|Not again.]]]]
After Sari Sumdac assembled a group of "[[Substitute Autobot|Substitute Autobots]]" to free her friends, Soundwave gained the element of surprise when he burst out from under the street and brought forth his newly reprogrammed Autobot minions. Soundwave held a significant tactical advantage over the inept group, but when the miserable technorganic changed tactics and focused on individual attacks, Soundwave found himself disoriented as he tried to control five minions at once. Soundwave was able to regain the upper hand when the substitute Autobots took out all but one of the reprogrammed Autobots: leaving him with full control over Optimus Prime. However, Prowl was able to break free of Soundwave's control using processor-over-matter and disabled Soundwave's control over his comrades. Soundwave then deployed Ratbat to deal with the meddling cyber-ninja and fought servo-to-servo with Optimus Prime, who then grabbed Laserbeak and forced him to transform back into guitar mode. Soundwave called Ratbat back to him in keytar mode and the two battled each other with music, until Optimus changed tactics and slashed him to pieces with his own ax. Soundwave was reduced back to his smaller form and seemed to be in Autobot custody... until Laserbeak grabbed his master and retreated in the sky. {{storylink|Human Error, Part II}}

*'''Soundwave''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Accessories'': "Laserbeak" guitar

: Soundwave transforms into a pseudo-Scion xB that got a "Pimp My Ride" music style treatment. That's awesome. He also comes with his partner [[Laserbeak (Animated)|Laserbeak]], who changes from a guitar to a bird. Also awesome. His chest can open in robot mode, so he can "eject" anything that fits there (but not what you [[Laserbeak (Animated)|want]]). Awesome too. Laserbeak can mount on the top of the roof of Soundwave's car mode and perch on his arm (or store on his back) in robot mode. Very awesome. And the volume/tone knobs are just the right size to fit in the screwholes on his arms, so he can look like he's strumming Laserbeak's guitar form. '''Extremely''' awesome.

:Between the presence of Soundwave's huge backpack and his painted eyes, his lightpiping feature is well and truly neutered. Not so awesome.

: A redeco of the regular Deluxe Soundwave, Electrostatic Soundwave's deco is an obvious homage to Soundblaster, being [[Black repaint|black]] with red paint applications. Instead of [[Laserbeak (Animated)|Laserbeak]], he comes with [[Ratbat (Animated)|Ratbat]], a black keytar that turns into a bat with a metallic purple head and wings. ''Supremely'' awesome.

==Notes==
* Soundwave's eyes are a reference to [[wikipedia:2000 AD (comic)|''2000 AD'']]'s ''[[wikipedia:ABC Warriors|ABC Warriors]]''<ref>[https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21975298&postID=8564559979841180115 Comment section for "Back from Botcon" entry in Derrick Wyatt's blog]</ref>.

* In the cartoon, his eyes can be either "Decepticon" red or "Generation 1 toy" yellow. Everybody's happy!

* The box he was in when given to Sari—as well as his remaining component after Bulkhead first defeated him—are obvious references to the [[alternate mode]] of [[Soundwave (G1)|Generation 1 Soundwave]].

* The production staff of ''Transformers Animated'' were completely unaware of the Soundwave toy's Laserbeak-guitar, hence why it was not included in his debut episode.<ref name="botcon2008">[[BotCon 2008]]</ref>

* Soundwave's "tape deck" form seen at the end of "Sound and Fury" is based upon Takara's [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Music Label MP3 player Soundwave toy]].<ref name="botcon2008"/>

* Soundwave's consciousness appears to be localized to this "tape deck", meaning as long as it remains intact, he can form/build a new body. It's not clear whether his [[spark]] is also contained within, though it's very likely.

:''Jazz is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:TFA Jazz promoimage.JPG|right|228px|thumb|"When push comes to shove, you've gotta do what you love, even if it's not a good idea!"]]
Though a member of the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]], '''Jazz''' is a bit of an independent thinker. He's reluctant to disobey orders, but he has more of an appreciation for the finer things than his compatriots. This is evidenced in his better choice of vehicle mode disguise, a "sweet ride" drawn from Earth culture. He is a [[Cyber-Ninja Corps|Cyber-Ninja]], like [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]]. However, his training is more progressed, and instead of ninja stars he wields a pair of nunchaku. He seems to be the only one of the Elite Guard willing to learn, and fits in with the Earth team pretty well.

He is ''incredibly'' cool.

{{bigquote|Any species that can come up with a sweet ride like this can't be all bad!|Jazz digs his new [[Alternate mode|altmode]] and the humans that created it|[[The Elite Guard]]}}

==Fiction==

:''Voice actor'': [[Phil LaMarr]] (English), [[Jens-Uwe Bogadtke]] (German)

{{note|Events from IDW Publishing are in italics}}
[[Image:Freaked jazz-1.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Booga booga!]]
Jazz accompanied [[Supreme Commander]] [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]] to [[Earth]] to retrieve [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]]'s crew and the [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]]. When Magnus ordered Jazz to activate a [[force field]] around [[Steelhaven (Animated)|their ship]] to prevent [[Human|organic]] contamination, Jazz expressed interest in getting a closer look at them. This caused Sentinel Prime to warn Jazz that the organics would eventually spit acidic goo that would melt through his body armor and destroy vital [[Circuits|circuitry]]. Jazz was...less willing to meet the organics after that.

[[Image:Jazzanimatedaltmode.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Suddenly, Bumblebee's less popular.]]
When [[Sari Sumdac]] managed to sneak aboard their ship, he tried to send her out without provoking her. When she realized that Jazz was afraid of her, she tried to scare him. After [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] explained that Humans were harmless (and [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] explained that Sentinel Prime was a jerk), Jazz accompanied the Autobots to a Sumdac manufacturing plant that was going haywire. Jazz and Prowl managed to keep the AllSpark-powered [[police drone]]s away from Sari and Optimus long enough for Sari to shut down the assembly line. He and Prowl traded several martial arts-centered quips throughout the battle, talking about [[Metallikato]] moves like the "[[Five Servos of Doom]]" attack. {{storylink|The Elite Guard|The Elite Guard}}

When Ultra Magnus started to receive reports of [[Decepticon]] uprisings at the rim of the galaxy, Jazz commented that it was probably because they'd "got wind" that [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] was still online.

[[Image:Sentinel vs Optimus%2C with Jazz in the middle.jpg|left|180px|thumb|"Right now, we need to stop fighting each other and start fighting the bad guy. Dig?"]]
Later, Jazz noticed a spike in AllSpark energy, and Ultra Magnus took him to investigate, leaving Sentinel Prime to watch Optimus Prime. Their combined attempt to remove the "SmallSpark", which [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] had booby-trapped, failed, and they were blown off the train in which it was embedded. Optimus and his crew, with the help of Sari and the [[AllSpark Key]], successfully and safely removed the AllSpark fragment, but Jazz could only watch as they received a dressing-down from Ultra Magnus for becoming involved. Then Starscream himself crashed to Earth, courtesy of Megatron's cannon, and knocked out Magnus. Jazz turned to Sentinel for orders, but the panicking Guardsbot was unable to think of anything. Optimus took over, directing his crew and Sari to various tasks; and himself, Jazz and Sentinel to take down Starscream—although Jazz needed to talk down the posturing pair of [[Prime (rank)|Primes]] before they could get to fighting the bad guy.

His nunchaku proved ineffective, however, and he was swiftly knocked out, leaving Optimus to save the day again. Jazz later escorted Optimus's crew in taking the [[Stasis lock|stasis locked]] and gagged Starscream to be imprisoned in the Elite Guard's ship, before the three Guardsbots and their ship departed, leaving Optimus and his crew to deal with the remaining Decepticons on Earth. {{storylink|Mission Accomplished|Mission Accomplished}}

Jazz was present as Starscream escaped the Elite Guard ship. {{storylink|A Fistful of Energon|A Fistful of Energon}}

''When the Elite Guard decided to begin [[Safeguard (Animated)|Project Safeguard]], Jazz and Sentinel voiced dissent, stating that Autobots don't fly. Jazz's discomfort only worsened when he saw [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] and [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]]. He was soon assigned to train them. While taking them on in battle to guage their abilities, Jazz seemingly won quite quickly, but as soon as he turned his back the twins defeated him with ease. Later, he was observing the twins in simulated training when [[Perceptor (Animated)|Perceptor]] tried putting Starscream's coding into the program. The Starscream code took over, trapping the twins and preventing Jazz and Sentinel from disconnecting them. They were powerless to help, and the twins had to save themselves by discovering the ability to merge into Safeguard. {{storylink|First (and Second) in Flight}}''

Jazz was later onboard the Elite Guard ship, along with Ultra Magnus and Sentinel, during the galactic battles with the Decepticon rebels when the received a transmission from [[Rodimus Prime (Animated)|Rodimus]] requesting back-up. Jazz had told him to hold on a little longer. But by the time the Elite Guard had arrived, [[Team Chaar]] had already left, albiet [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron's]] orders. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

[[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm Prime]] had later sent Jazz, accompanied by Sentinel, Jetfire, and Jetstorm, to go after the supposed traitor [[Wasp]]. However, Wasp had retreated to Earth, much to Longarm's dismay, as he had ordered all contact with that planet be filtered through him. Despite this, Jazz and the others still went after the traitor. When they found Optimus Prime's crew, they revealed that Longarm was really Shockwave, a Decepticon double-agent, and that Wasp had been innocent the whole time. Despite this, Sentinel Prime still wanted Wasp brought in, but the crazed Autobot got away. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

Sentinel had later succeeded in capturing [[Swindle (Animated)|Swindle]], [[Sunstorm (Animated)|Sunstorm]], [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]], and [[Lugnut]], leaving [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] to suspect he was getting help. Jazz had this suspicion, too, and followed him to find that he was bargaining with [[Lockdown (Animated)|a double-dealing bounty scum]]. Jazz and the others defeated Lockdown, along with [[Ramjet (Animated)|another Decepticon fugitive]]. While they had captured the clone, Lockdown had escaped. Jazz later became impressed by Prowl's new armor, especially [[Yoketron]]'s helmet. {{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}}

When Sentinel realised he was needed on Cybertron, the Elite Guard packed up and headed for home. Jazz was disappointed, as he had enjoyed being on Earth. {{storylink|Predacons Rising}}

On the return trip, Jazz and Sentinel were contacted by the Autobot council, who wished to discuss Sentinel's temporary promotion. Sentinel let this go to his head, and told Jazz to refer to him as "Commander". He also directed Jazz to take them through an unstable ion storm, despite Jazz's protests. As Jazz piloted them in, energy from the storm somehow restored Swindle, who had been stuck in [[Alternate mode|altmode]]. Swindle instigated a prisoner break, releasing the other Decepticons, and lead them in an attack on the Elite Guard. Jazz requested that Sentinel contact Cybertron for help, but fearing repercussions for allowing the escape to happen on his watch, he sent a coded message to Optimus instead. Appearing unexpectedly through a Transwarp link within Swindle's chest, Optimus Prime was able to free the Elite Guard. He then made sure the Decepticons could hear him order Jazz to modify the ship's decontamination chamber to freeze its occupants. However, he simultaneously gave Jazz a secret coded order to set up the chamber to freeze those ''outside'' of it. Thus, when the Decepticons eventually recaptured the Autobots and placed them in the chamber, it backfired, allowing the Autobots to escape and recapture all the prisoners but Swindle and [[Lugnut]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

Having returned to Cybertron, Jazz began chafing under Sentinel Magnus' militant approach. When [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] and [[Captain Fanzone]] accidentily transwarped to Cybertron, Jazz followed orders and helped capture them. However, once they had escaped he tailed them, and eventually helped them by granting them access to the Elite Guard infirmary so they could search for [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]]. After battling [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]], Ratchet was able to recapture the [[Magnus Hammer]], but refused to give it to Sentinel. Instead, he escaped took it with him back to Earth, intent on keeping it from Sentinel and protecting it for Ultra Magnus. Sentinel started to follow him, but Jazz volunteered to go instead. Upon his arrival on Earth, he informed Ratchet that he'd had enough of Sentinel and promptly volunteered his services to the Earthbound Autobots. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

**''Accessories'': 2 side-pipe "energy chucks"

: Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' deluxes, Jazz transforms into a car that looks like a cross between [[Jazz (G1)|his Generation 1 counterpart]] and a 1950s Corvette. The toy features translucent blue [[light-piping]] for its visor, as well as translucent blue headlights. Curiously, all the toy's vehicle mode windows are ''also'' cast from this plastic, but tinted black by [[Paint operation|paint applications]]. The toy's exhaust pipes can be removed from its forearms, and are connected by a short length of string to serve as nunchaku-style "energy chucks" weapons. They can also be assembled into claw-like weapons.

: Also, in vehicle mode, if you flip the trunk open and leave it that way, Jazz will appear to have spoilers, similar to his [[Jazz (G1)|G1 counterpart]]'s vehicle mode.

Transformers Animated (toyline)

Fiscal: Spotted at retail

{{Nav-Animated}}

[[Image:TFAnimated Voyager EarthOptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Putting the "cool" in "Playskool".]]
The '''Transformers Animated''' toy line merges the more expressive design style of the [[Transformers Animated|cartoon]] with extremely poseable robot forms (to a degree which seemed pleasantly surprising even to [[Hasbro]]). Unlike the [[franchise]]s immediately before it, there is no overarching, line-wide [[gimmick]] (such as [[Mini-Con]]s or [[Cyber Planet Key]]s). Rather, transforming ''is'' the gimmick, and the toys have other special features unique and appropriate to the character (such as [[Blitzwing (Animated)|triple-changing]] or [[Ratchet (Animated)|interchangeable tools]]). While the designs originated with Hasbro and the [[Cartoon Network]] team, [[TakaraTomy]] stepped up to the plate to engineer the toys. The line debuted on July 1, 2007, at Hasbro's Future Products panel at [[BotCon 2007|BotCon]].

Hasbro, citing the strength of the [[Transformers (2007)|movie]] toyline, [[Ruined FOREVER|postponed]] the official release of the Animated toyline to June 22, 2008 in the US. However, some toys began showing up at retailers in the Cincinnati area to coincide with [[BotCon 2008|BotCon]], followed by wider releases in Canada in May and the U.S. shortly thereafter.

An expansion on the [[Cyber Slammers]] subline from the 2007 live-action movie toys, Bumper Battlers feature "bump-and-transform" action. Hitting the front bumper causes the toy to change into robot mode, and pressing the toy's sigil activates sound effects and speech gimmicks.

==Criticisms==
Since the first wave of Animated toys were released, there have been multiple complaints of poor quality [[Paint operation|paint application]]s, sloppy paint applications, and very greasy ball and hinge joints. There are also complaints over certain breakage issues, such as Lockdown's wrists, and toy functionality being limited by support struts added [[For safety reasons|to prevent breakage]], such as with Voyager Megatron's cannon and Bumblebee's stingers being unable to position properly.

Most of these issues can be fixed with relative ease. <ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=47309 Animated Fixes on AllSpark.com]</ref>

Optimus used this opportunity to to grab Rumbler. Activating its sword, he charged Megatron, who turned just in time for the blade to cleave his wrist.

*'''Megatron & Rodimus''' (Convention Souvenir 3-Pack, 2008)
**''Accessories'': "Rumbler" Tank-cannon, missile, sword-blade

:Megatron is a [[redeco]] and [[retool]] of Ultra-class ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], with a more heroic color scheme and a new head mold based on an early character model for ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. He comes with [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]] and [[Divebomb (SG)|Divebomb]] as a bagged set, limited to 1100 pieces.

:Megatron transforms into a silver and black Cybertronian jet with red accents and blue translucents. Included is the "[[Rumbler (SG)|Rumbler]]" tank (which is originally a representation of ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' Megatron's tank form, and sort-of a homage of [[Megazarak]].), which can plug onto the top of the vehicle mode and can also fire missiles out of its spring-loaded main gun (presumably meant to be a [[fusion cannon]]). [[Super Mode|Hyper Mode]] can be activated by tugging his transparent wing tips outward, which extends the blue sections, raises the upper gray parts of his wings in an "X-wing" configuration, and deploys the red weapons underneath. In robot mode, Rumbler can be attached to either of his arms as a cannon, or it can be flipped around and have a sword attached to the rear of its turret. Like most convention exclusives, the electronics from this accessory have been stripped out to keep costs down.

==Notes==
* The list of Rumbler's appearances is presumably the same as Megatron's, since Rumbler is usually attached to Megatron's arm.

Mixmaster (ROTF)

2009-08-07T06:14:08Z

Fiscal: Adding depth; removing "maybe there's a combined mode????" speculation

{{factions|decepticon}}
{{disambig3|Mixmaster}}

:''Mixmaster is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

{{mainpic}}

A genius chemist, '''Mixmaster''' serves as a weapons designer to the Decepticon elite. He has spent his entire lifespan mastering the intricacies of chemical reactions, becoming an expert in poisons, corrosive substances, and most especially explosives. He has a knack for improvisation, being able to make deadly concoctions from just the native materials a world has to offer. A member of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], when [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] is formed he constitutes the lumbering beast's head.

Sometimes, there are more than one of him.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance4_Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Not shown: Mixmaster learning to use a bone as a club.]]

In the distant past, the [[All Spark (Movie)|All Spark]] Cube created [[Thirteen original Transformers|a race]] of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the All Spark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

Mixmaster was among the very first of these new beings, one of several "builders" who would construct a [[Solar harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the All Spark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}} It is presumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, he sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of Mixmaster's only surviving ancient master, [[The Fallen]].
{{-}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
[[Image:ROTFMegatronrebirth.jpg|thumb|250px|]]
After the [[All Spark]] shard was retrieved from [[NEST]]'s secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], Mixmaster, [[Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Ze Little One|another Constructicon]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dove down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon to rebuild Megatron, a request that Mixmaster and the others obliged with. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

After Megatron killed [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Mixmaster climbed the Brooklyn Bridge and knocked down the American flag in a display of dominance as [[The Fallen]] broadcast a worldwide message demanding the humans bring them the head of [[Sam Witwicky]].

Some time later, Mixmaster and another Constructicon with the same [[body-type]] were present during the climactic battle in [[Egypt]] between the [[Autobot]]/NEST forces and the Decepticons. Mixmaster and several other Constructicons waited in a quarry in their construction vehicle disguises until the [[human]]s [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]] and their Autobot guardians [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] approached. The Constructicons [[combiner|combined]] into the mighty Devastator and attacked. Elsewhere, the other Mixmaster fought against the NEST forces in the Egyptian town near the great ruins of the pyramids, using his cannon emplacement mode to cause serious problems, until the ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] arrived to slice him in half and crush his torso. Meanwhile, Devastator had shrugged off the Autobot twins and was busy demolishing the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] when Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to attack Devastator. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[Railgun|railgun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

*'''Mixmaster''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Voyager Class ROTF Mixmaster transforms into a gray and silver cement mixer with purple windows and headlights, based loosely on the [[Wikipedia:Mack Trucks|Mack]] truck seen in the film. The vehicle mode's mixing drum is incapable of rotating due to the transformation, but does boast a pair of gigantic Decepticon logos on either side. The cement chute at the rear of the vehicle mode can accurately raise and lower on a hinge.

: His robot mode is very thin and lanky, with numerous joints on the extremely long arms alone. The packaging calls out [[Mech Alive]] gimmickry in the form of "spinning gears" on his chest, but the feature is only present at the thighs and forearms, which reveal shifting internal bits when the joints are rotated. The robot mode's missile-firing cannon is locked in place on its back pointing straight upward; in order to aim it the toy must be transformed to its artillery cannon-like Battle Mode that has him essentially performing a belly flop, letting the launcher fire forward.

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

Shouldn't this go to [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]]? After all he is a dimension-hopper so this might be one and the same guy. After all the movie Fallen is also in the artice of the G1 Fallen, since they might be the same guy.[[User:Dead Metal|Dead Metal]] 13:40, 25 March 2009 (EDT)

== Spare pic ==

[[Image:Sidewaysrotfhead.jpg|right|thumb|150px|This face probably won't be showing up on any [[Sideways (RID)|televisions]].]]

== Variation? ==

Should the more metallic variation be mentioned?

:What more metalic version? [[User:Dead Metal|Dead Metal]] 05:14, 12 June 2009 (EDT)

::The japanese version is supposed to have a darker. more metallic version that supposedly made it over here in some cases. [[User:Cliffjumper prime|Cliffjumper prime]] 01:04, 19 June 2009 (EDT)

== edit ==

I removed a part from the portion about the notches in the final toy. The poster seemed to be under the impression they're meant to clip into the triangular pieces on the hood. They are however, intended to clip onto the red square bits next to Sideways' front wheels that are hidden inside his torso.--[[Special:Contributions/86.87.28.191|86.87.28.191]] 11:40, 26 June 2009 (EDT)

==Two-pack==
Anyone remember what size/price class the two-pack with Sideways and the blue Autobot redeco of Dropkick was meant to be in? Since it was shown at Botcon, we should be adding it to the page (and making a page for the Dropkick redeco, whose name escapes me?). --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 16:13, 30 June 2009 (EDT)

Reverb (Movie)

2009-06-09T01:35:19Z

Fiscal: /* Trivia */

{{factions|decepticon}}
{{disambig3|Reverb}}
:''Reverb is an [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Alliance3_Reverb.jpg|thumb|250px|]]

Whenever '''Reverb''' goes into battle, he goes with a grin on his face, singing a song that he knew back in the old days. He brings doom to many Autobots by creating a thudding sonic cyclone from the wash on his rotors, twisting metal, destroying their audio sensors, and shattering glass.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===

Sent to [[Earth]] by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Reverb (along with [[Gunbarrel (Movie)|Gunbarrel]]) is one of the Decepticons working under [[Fracture]], who was nice enough to find an [[Alternate mode|alternate mode]] for him at an [[Italy|Italian]] military base. After scanning, the Decepticons destroyed the installation. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3}}

Reverb and Gunbarrel were eventually hunted down and destroyed by the [[Autobot|Autobots]] and their [[human]] allies. {{storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

{{Note|Due to space constraints, Reverb and Gunbarrel do not actually appear in Alliance issue 4, but their deaths are reported by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]].}}

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
[[Image:MovieReverbToy.jpg|right|200px|thumb|It's not easy being green. Also, having your toy canceled out from under you.]]
*'''Decepticon Reverb''' (Scout, <s>2009</s>)
**''Accessories'': Quintuple-barreled [[Energon Weapon]] cannon, Decepticon-style [[energon chip]]

:Part of the canceled<ref>[[Hasbro Q&A March 2009: Answers]]</ref> fifth assortment of [[Target]] [[exclusive]] movie-series Scouts, Decepticon Reverb would have been a [[redeco]] of [[Energon (toyline)|Energon]] [[Stormcloud (Energon)|Stormcloud]]/[[Blackout (combiner)|Blackout]], transforming into an assault helicopter similar to an Apache. He could also have formed an leg or arm to any Energon-series "Powerlinx Combiner" super robot — though no super robot torsos actually came out during the original live-action movie toyline, and his packaging makes no mention of the toy's ability to combine.

:He would have come with a quintuple-barreled cannon that formed a hand or footplate for his limb-modes, plus a Decepticon-style energon chip.

: This mold was also used to make the [[Fun Publications]] [[Transformers Collectors' Club]]-[[exclusive]] toy [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]] and ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' (2008) [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus Maximus]] team members [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] and [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]].

{{canceledtoy}}

==Trivia==
* Reverb's toy was first acknowledged on Hasbro's Transformers Action Figure [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Collectors/Checklist Checklist].
* Reverb's deco was thought by many to an homage to an earlier character ([[Deathcobra]] and [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] were popular choices), but his colors were in fact based on ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Cloudraker (Universe)|Cloudraker]], as [[Joe Kyde]] was particularly pleased by Cloudraker's colors and wanted to re-use them on something bigger.
* It is unknown whether the [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] repaint also called Reverb is intended to be the same character. While they are both Decepticons, they have very different color schemes and altmodes.

'''Knock Out''' is a bit of a show-off. While quite flashy and skilled on the battlefield, he's also real insecure, and very desperate to receive attention from his comrades. He's also curious about this [[combiner|combination retrofit]] everyone's so crazy about.

*Dirt Boss is quite possibly the most contradictory character in recent years: he appears alongside Constructicons, and shares name and form with [[Dirt Boss (Animated)|a Constructicon]] appearing in ''Animated'', but is ''not'' a Constructicon, and he is nearly identical to [[Scrapper (Movie)|Scrapper]] from the first movie's video game, but not only is he not named Scrapper, he also has absolutely nothing to do with dirt, bossing, or even ''em''bossing.

On April 1st, 2009, screen writers [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] added to the confusion by referring to Demolishor as a separate character from the other Constructicons, and that Devastator is made up of seven Constructicons, including Scavenger (but not Demolishor) and a new character named Overload.([http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-04-01-transformers-first-look_N.htm Various characters revealed on USA Today.com.

'''Megatron captures and reprograms Rhinox into a Predacon. It doesn't turn out very well.'''

:''Japanese title:'' ライノックス大暴れ! (''Rhinox Ōabare!'', "Rhinox Rampages!")

==Synopsis==
In some usual rocky terrain, the [[Maximals]] are disappointed to learn that their day's expedition has been a waste of time, as the [[Energon (G1)|Energon]] they were searching for is inaccessible. [[Rattrap]] whines, saying the situation couldn't get worse, prompting an attack from the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]]. The Maximals are at a clear disadvantage, but [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] triggers a rockslide that crushes all the Predacons.

[[Image:Dark Designs Rhinoxweb.jpg|left|200px|thumb|What a catch.]]
[[Optimus Primal|Optimus]] commends Rhinox's intelligent tactics, and the Maximals begin their return to base. [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] also determines that Rhinox is a major threat to his operation and orders [[Tarantulas]] to capture the large Maximal. When Rhinox is a distance behind the other Maximals on the road home, the spider captures Rhinox and knocks the rhino out with some [[cyber venom]].

[[Image:Dark Designs Transmuter.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Shocking footage reveals Hasbro's use of test animals for its [[redeco]] machinery.]]
A while later, the Maximals noticed their large comrade has disappeared. Rattrap activates his communicator, and are able to listen through Rhinox's communicator, overhearing the events in the Predacon base where Megatron uses "The Transmuter" to turn Rhinox into an evil Predacon. While the Maximals are concerned, Primal plans to wait a while before the Maximals make an effort to rescue their friend, yessssssss...

In the [[Darksyde|Predacon base]], Megatron, and his new underling, Evil Rhinox, get down to plotting on how they can use Rhinox's knowledge to destroy the Maximals—but some technical problems with Megatron's computer halt the planning session. Rhinox is sent to check up on [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok's]] repair of the system (which was secretly vandalised by Rhinox). With no witnesses, Rhinox drops several tons of hardware onto Scorponok. When Scorponok's flattened body is found later by Megatron and [[Waspinator]], they have no clue who committed the crime.

[[Image:Dark Designs Rhinox Terrorsaur.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Mmm, I feel like ''turkey'' tonight.]]
Waspinator deposits Scorponok into a [[CR Chamber]] for repair, but flying away, Waspinator is hit with a heavy piece of weight pushed by Rhinox. The impact drives Waspinator into a state of dementia. This time, Rhinox's attempt at homicide is witnessed by [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]], who meets with Rhinox in private. There, Rhinox declines Terrorsaur's offer of partnership and insists that Terrorsaur stay silent. Later, Megatron discovers that Tarantulas and Blackarachnia have been poisoned. Still oblivious, a furious Megatron shouts out his confusion.

Outside of the Predacon base, [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] figures out Primal's plan: leave Rhinox as he is, so he'll run roughshod over the Predacons. But knowing that Megatron will eventually wise up, the Maximals get ready to mount a rescue. At the same time, Scorponok has been repaired, and he tells Megatron what happened to him. Megatron concludes that his little experiment has gone wrong, and decides to end it—and Rhinox as well.

[[Image:Dark Designs Megatron.jpg|right|200px|thumb|So purple is a primary color to Predacons, right?]]
Megatron confronts Rhinox, and assigns Scorponok and Terrorsaur to disarm the new recruit. By mentioning Terrorsaur's plotting, Rhinox is able to get the two Predacon goons to fight each other instead of himself, leaving them as easy pickings. With those two taken care of, he opens fire on Megatron, causing the Predacon to fall off his hover platform.

Rhinox taunts Megatron with a speech about who's the boss now, but Rhinox has stepped into the range of the Transmuter. Megatron reactivates the machine, converting Rhinox back to his regular good self. The Maximals blast their way into the base. Primal battles with Megatron, slicing off one of the Predacon leader's arms. A stray shot from the still demented Waspinator hits the Transmuter, and the Maximals grab Rhinox and evacuate while the Predacons take cover to avoid being harmed by the exploding machine.

Afterward, the Maximals relax. Rhinox admits that the Predacons have some serious personality problems, and the Maximals have a big laugh. Except for [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]].

==Notes==
===Technical/animation glitches===
* In one shot, when the Maximals are having a conversation near the Predacon base, Dinobot looks like as if he's standing in the lava flow. This may be because of the camera angle. If so, it means that Dinobot's been animated to stand in mid-air a few inches above the ground, thus the strange effect.

===Continuity errors===
* Near the end of the episode, Evil Rhinox shoots Megatron's kneecaps, making it very hard for him to stand up. Yet Megatron has little trouble standing or moving around in the big fight with the Maximals that happens soon afterward.

===Transformers references===
*When [[Waspinator]] is driven temporarily insane, he babbles that his name is [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]], an Insecticon from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. Stuck like this for the rest of the episode, he proceeds to stutter and repeat words in a semi-accurate reference to the distinctive speech pattern that Shrapnel had in the G1 cartoon, which saw him repeat the last word of his sentences. Waspinator also delivers the classic TF slogan "More than meets the eye."
*The concept of Rhinox being reprogrammed by Megatron only to attempt to overthrow him later is revisited in the sequel series, ''[[Beast Machines]]''.
*Both Optimus and Rhinox say "Yeeessssss..." in a very similar manner to Megatron. Imitation ''is'' the sincerest form of flattery.

'''Megatron captures and reprograms Rhinox into a Predacon. It doesn't turn out very well.'''

:''Japanese title:'' ライノックス大暴れ! (''Rhinox Ōabare!'', "Rhinox Rampages!")

==Synopsis==
In some usual rocky terrain, the [[Maximals]] are disappointed to learn that their day's expedition has been a waste of time, as the [[Energon (G1)|Energon]] they were searching for is inaccessible. [[Rattrap]] whines, saying the situation couldn't get worse, prompting an attack from the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]]. The Maximals are at a clear disadvantage, but [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] triggers a rockslide that crushes all the Predacons.

[[Image:Dark Designs Rhinoxweb.jpg|left|200px|thumb|What a catch.]]
[[Optimus Primal|Optimus]] commends Rhinox's intelligent tactics, and the Maximals begin their return to base. [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] also determines that Rhinox is a major threat to his operation and orders [[Tarantulas]] to capture the large Maximal. When Rhinox is a distance behind the other Maximals on the road home, the spider captures Rhinox and knocks the rhino out with some [[cyber venom]].

[[Image:Dark Designs Transmuter.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Shocking footage reveals Hasbro's use of test animals for its [[redeco]] machinery.]]
A while later, the Maximals noticed their large comrade has disappeared. Rattrap activates his communicator, and are able to listen through Rhinox's communicator, overhearing the events in the Predacon base where Megatron uses "The Transmuter" to turn Rhinox into an evil Predacon. While the Maximals are concerned, Primal plans to wait a while before the Maximals make an effort to rescue their friend, yessssssss...

In the [[Darksyde|Predacon base]], Megatron, and his new underling, Evil Rhinox, get down to plotting on how they can use Rhinox's knowledge to destroy the Maximals—but some technical problems with Megatron's computer halt the planning session. Rhinox is sent to check up on [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok's]] repair of the system (which was secretly vandalised by Rhinox). With no witnesses, Rhinox drops several tons of hardware onto Scorponok. When Scorponok's flattened body is found later by Megatron and [[Waspinator]], they have no clue who committed the crime.

[[Image:Dark Designs Rhinox Terrorsaur.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Mmm, I feel like ''turkey'' tonight.]]
Waspinator deposits Scorponok into a [[CR Chamber]] for repair, but flying away, Waspinator is hit with a heavy piece of weight pushed by Rhinox. The impact drives Waspinator into a state of dementia. This time, Rhinox's attempt at homicide is witnessed by [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]], who meets with Rhinox in private. There, Rhinox declines Terrorsaur's offer of partnership and insists that Terrorsaur stay silent. Later, Megatron discovers that Tarantulas and Blackarachnia have been poisoned. Still oblivious, a furious Megatron shouts out his confusion.

Outside of the Predacon base, [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] figures out Primal's plan: leave Rhinox as he is, so he'll run roughshod over the Predacons. But knowing that Megatron will eventually wise up, the Maximals get ready to mount a rescue. At the same time, Scorponok has been repaired, and he tells Megatron what happened to him. Megatron concludes that his little experiment has gone wrong, and decides to end it—and Rhinox as well.

[[Image:Dark Designs Megatron.jpg|right|200px|thumb|So purple is a primary color to Predacons, right?]]
Megatron confronts Rhinox, and assigns Scorponok and Terrorsaur to disarm the new recruit. By mentioning Terrorsaur's plotting, Rhinox is able to get the two Predacon goons to fight each other instead of himself, leaving them as easy pickings. With those two taken care of, he opens fire on Megatron, causing the Predacon to fall off his hover platform.

Rhinox taunts Megatron with a speech about who's the boss now, but Rhinox has stepped into the range of the Transmuter. Megatron reactivates the machine, converting Rhinox back to his regular good self. The Maximals blast their way into the base. Primal battles with Megatron, slicing off one of the Predacon leader's arms. A stray shot from the still demented Waspinator hits the Transmuter, and the Maximals grab Rhinox and evacuate while the Predacons take cover to avoid being harmed by the exploding machine.

Afterward, the Maximals relax. Rhinox admits that the Predacons have some serious personality problems, and the Maximals have a big laugh. Except for [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]].
