Here is my talk page. Please don't spam weird stuff here.

{{welcome}}

However, so far your contributions have all been to talk pages, many of them unnecessary additions to conversations that ran their course months ago, with no actual contributions to the content of the wiki itself. And considering some of those additions are calling out other users, I'd say you don't have a lot of room to criticize. If you're going to stick around, we'd appreciate it if you'd try to actually help improve the wiki rather than just lurking in the talk pages and not contributing. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 08:36, 29 November 2018 (EST)

I appreciate your eagerness to add new content, but please make sure you're properly tagging and categorizing any new images you upload. You can find more information on how to do that [[Transformers Wiki:Images|here]]. Also, when adding new images to an article, please make sure you're formatting them properly, such as using the "thumb" modifier and setting a maximum height or width. Otherwise, we have a full-size image sitting in the middle of the page and totally breaking the layout. If you have to, just look at how some of the other images in the article are formatted and copy that. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 12:12, 29 November 2018 (EST)

[[File:Cyberverse overview small.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6]]
The '''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''' toyline continues the trend set by ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' of occupying the young demographic lying between the preschool and preteen audiences.

Announced in time for [[Toy Fair 2018]], ''Cyberverse'' brings with it the line-wide "[[Action Attack]]" [[gimmick]], with every figure including a unique mechanical function.

The line also reintroduces a full [[size class]] system after ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' relegated it to two price-points out of a mess of over a dozen others. The Warrior Class is brought over, while the Scout, Ultra, and Ultimate Classes are revived with different price-points, albeit in a similar fashion to ''Generations''' [[Transformers: Generations#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Cyber Series]] toyline of bigger figures for lower prices.

Strongarm (RID)

2018-03-29T06:23:54Z

Kampungpisangadrian: /* Notes */

{{factions|autobot|ozsa}}
{{disambig3|Strongarm}}
:''Strongarm is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:Strongarm_(RID).jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Next time on ''Rookie Blue''...]]
Cadet '''Strongarm''' sees a bright future in law enforcement ahead of her. She knows the regulations front-to-back, able to recall them by number with ease as needed (often to her teammates' chagrin). She is full of seemingly-boundless energy, and is more than willing to throw herself into dangerous situations in order to collar a target. Being assigned to work with [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], hero of the war with the Decepticons, is a sure sign that she's destined to go places! Maybe even all the way to [[Earth]]!

This enthusiasm for her job makes her a tenacious officer, but also difficult to work with. Bumblebee's rather loose command style doesn't quite gel with the cadet's by-the-rules approach, as she uses protocol to sometimes get around Bumblebee's orders. It also puts her directly at odds with [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], a bot who breaks rules almost habitually and constantly thumbs his nose at authority. She's not terribly thrilled about working with convicted criminal [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] either, but at least he doesn't specifically try and pick fights with her like Sideswipe does.

Sometimes she works with the [[Mini-Con]]s [[Sawtooth (RID)|Sawtooth]] or [[Trickout]]. She can also combine with either the legendary war hero [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] to form [[Primestrong]], or with the rest of the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] to form [[Ultra Bee]].

==Fiction==

[[File:RID-CybertronianBumblebeeStrongarm.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5]]
Cadet Strongarm of the [[Cybertron Police]] {{storylink|Five Fugitives}} studied under [[Dropforge]] at the [[Kaon Police Academy]]; {{storylink|Get a Clue}} she was classmates and friends with [[Nightra]] before the latter's explusion for attempting to cheat on her exams. {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}} She was still a cadet when she was partnered with Bumblebee. She and her partner captured the criminal [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} while patrolling Kaon City. {{storylink|Can You Dig It?}} Unfortunately for Bumblebee, she then insisted that regulations meant she had to accompany him on a trip to [[Earth]] after [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] appeared to him in a series of visions. There they found that the prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' had crashed, scattering [[Decepticon]] prisoners over the nearby area. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}}

[[File:PilotPart1 Strongarm Cybertronian vehicle.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5|[[Carmine Fanzone|Captain Fanzone]], eat your heart out]]
Adopting a local vehicular form, Strongarm joined the team in recapturing the escaped Decepticon [[Underbite]] before he could reach and devour nearby [[Crown City]]. The operation was a success, though she was unsure about the wisdom of allowing Sideswipe and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] to remain on the team. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 2)}}

Strongarm and Sideswipe continued having trouble working together, inadvertently resulting in Strongarm's comms being damaged. When the pair went sent on a mission to investigate fugitive signals, they split up, and Strongarm was captured by [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], who tried to convince her that he intended to dwell peacefully on Earth. She was freed by Sideswipe and Russell, though Steeljaw got away. {{storylink|Trust Exercises}} Strongarm and the team managed to capture [[Bisk (RID)|Bisk]]. They later encountered [[Chop Shop (RID)|Chop Shop]] and were unprepared for the Decepticon's ability to split into component parts. When Strongarm attempted to tackle one of his components, it resulted in Chop Shop taking Fixit as a new right arm, however the team were eventually successful in rescuing the Mini-Con and capturing the Decepticon. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RID)|More than Meets the Eye}}

[[File:TrustExercises Strongarm points gun.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|Strongarm uses her famous death stare.]]

Sideswipe and Strongarm continued to squabble — when they went to a [[Crown City Museum of Natural History and Sciences|museum]], Strongarm alternated between doing so and towing Grimlock on a trailer. Splitting up, the team was unable to capture [[Terrashock]] until Bumblebee came up with a way to hunt the Decepticon on his own terms. {{storylink|W.W.O.D.?}} Strongarm searched the ''Alchemor'' crash site again but only turned up a [[Decepticon Hunter]], which she was unable to get working despite Fixit's instructions. During the mission to protect the generator at the dam, she was forced to help Grimlock back to the scrapyard, and was unable to help hunt for [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]]. {{storylink|As the Kospego Commands!}}

[[File:CollectEmAll Strongarm rulebook.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|Strongarm/rule book, BFFs]]
Feeling homesick, Strongarm began breaking out in hives, as well as relying more and more on the rulebook, which irritated Sideswipe as they searched for the Decepticon [[Filch]]. After some encouragement from Bumblebee, Strongarm broke several rules as they captured Filch, though she later wrote the others up anyway. {{storylink|Collect 'Em All}} When Grimlock turned on the other Autobots and stole Underbite's stasis pod, Strongarm's first instinct was that Grimlock had been pretending to be good all along. She, Bumblebee and Sideswipe tracked him to [[Crown River Dam]], where they discovered that he had been under the control of [[Minitron]]. {{storylink|True Colors}}

After begging, Strongarm got her own solo mission, only to find that Bumblebee was following her. Despite several missteps, she managed to capture the Decepticon [[Springload (RID)|Springload]] with his help. {{storylink|Rumble in the Jungle}} Teamed with Bumblebee, Strongarm hunted [[Ped (RID)|Ped]] in subterranean tunnels, and was forced to help support part of Crown City when it was undermined by the Decepticon's digging. She later became trapped at the bottom of a pit during a later successful attempt to capture Ped. {{storylink|Can You Dig It?}} When Bumblebee was regressed to immaturity thanks to [[Quillfire (RID)|Quillfire]]'s toxins, Strongarm saw the opportunity to test herself in a leadership role. After suffering a number of Bumblebee's pranks, she took Grimlock to go hunt Quillfire, only to have Bumblebee follow them. Following a jaunt on a carnival ride and Quillfire's incapacitation, Strongarm had Grimlock chain Bumblebee up until he recovered from the toxin. {{storylink|Adventures in Bumblebee-Sitting!}}

[[File:OutOfFocus Strongarm towing Grimlock.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|Capture rampaging dinobots with the all new Strongarm:Dinobot hauler!]]
When [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] and [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] came to Earth to collect the bounty on Bumblebee, Strongarm was captured by the Decepticon to use as a ransom along with the other Autobots. {{storylink|Hunting Season}} Strongarm and Sideswipe continued their bickering, even as the team hunted the [[Skunkticon]] gang led by [[Malodor]], hampering efforts at several points during the chase. {{storylink|Out of Focus}}

After discovering that Strongarm had been sneaking off the base, Sideswipe blackmailed her into doing undesirable jobs for him. After they tangled with Steeljaw's gang, Bumblebee revealed he already knew about Strongarm sneaking out, and Strongarm revealed she had been using a nearby carwash. {{storylink|Sideways (episode)|Sideways}} Strongarm joined Sideswipe, Russell, and Grimlock for a horror movie marathon; the three Autobots tried to scare Russell to no avail. Strongarm joined Bumblebee and the rest of the team for an excursion to a local cave network in pursuit of a Decepticon signal. They encountered [[Nightstrike]], who picked them off one by one and tried to drain their energon. Trapped in a cocoon, Strongarm was forced to hallucinate her worst fear—disgracing the Kaon police force. {{storylink|Even Robots Have Nightmares}}

Strongarm towed Grimlock to the Crown City subway system after Sideswipe went missing. She discovered that the mad scientist [[Vertebreak (RID)|Vertebreak]] had stolen Sideswipe's body, and she was forced to fight him. With Sideswipe's help, the other Autobots managed to incapacitate and recapture Vertebreak, and Strongarm challenged the repaired Sideswipe to a race home. {{storylink|Some Body, Any Body}} After Drift and Slipstream returned to Earth in pursuit of Jetstorm, Strongarm rolled out with the other Autobots to recapture Quillfire and Springload. {{storylink|One of Our Mini-Cons Is Missing}} After taking part in a training exercise against Sideswipe, Strongarm [[GroundBridge]]d to the ocean, where the Decepticon [[Octopunch (RID)|Octopunch]] was planning to steal an abandoned Cybertronian ship. Strongarm was taken out of the fight by an army of deployable Mini-Cons and locked in an empty room, where she couldn't contact her teammates. She managed to break out and escape before the ship self-destructed. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RID)|Deep Trouble}}

[[File:BuzzOnWindblade Strongarm points.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
When the gladiator [[Groundpounder (RID)|Groundpounder]] and his cheating manager [[Headlock]] debuted at the Crown City [[Rumbledome]], Strongarm and the other Autobots- minus Grimlock and Fixit- tried to GroundBridge into the city. Instead, they wound up in the Arctic, and then appeared outside the city limits, where they were held up by traffic while Grimlock fought Groundpounder. Strongarm arrived just in time to [[Stasis cuffs|stasis cuff]] the fleeing Headlock. {{storylink|The Champ}} Fixit's sentry programming asserted itself, causing Strongarm to be menaced by the scrapyard's various security systems. {{storylink|The Trouble with Fixit}} Strongarm helped set up a new rollercoaster that Denny purchased, but headed out with the team to investigate a Decepticon signal. The signal belonged to [[Kickback (RID)|Kickback]], who had been set up by Steeljaw as a distraction while the rest of his gang broke into the Autobot base and deactivated the other stasis pods. The Autobots managed to take back their territory and rout the Decepticons, and Strongarm helped to recontain Octopunch's tentacles. {{storylink|Lockout}}

The Autobots set out to capture [[Scowl (RID)|Scowl]], whom Grimlock had inadvertently befriended and set free. Strongarm helped to reroute a train that Scowl had derailed, then ran damage control at a local spa while Grimlock tried to recapture the vengeful Decepticon. {{storylink|Similarly Different}} Strongarm realized that many of the ''Alchemor'''s convicts were based off Earth animals, and began researching the dangers of Earth creatures. She was less than impressed by the newcomer [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] and was particularly irked by Windblade's cavalier attitude toward protocol. The disagreement boiled over when the Autobots set out in search of [[Zizza]], when Windblade revealed that she didn't care if humans were caught in the crossfire. The two Autobots eventually resolved their differences, and Strongarm's knowledge of Earth bees helped her bring in Zizza. {{storylink|The Buzz on Windblade}}

[[File:Battlegrounds2 Strongarm in armor.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Feeling homesick for Cybertron, Strongarm came along with the team on a "vacation" to [[Edmondville]]. Although the gang had fun scaring off a group of human tourists, things took a turn for the worse when they encountered [[Pseudo]], who locked Strongarm and the Mini-Cons in an old bank vault. Strongarm escaped by blasting a hole in the wall and tracked Pseudo to a nearby mine. After a brief chase, the Autobots managed to subdue the [[Shifter]].{{Storylink|Ghosts and Impostors}} On a training exercise with Sideswipe, both Autobots were ambushed by Decepticons; Strongarm managed to send a fragmentary transmission back to the base before she was captured by Fracture. The duo were later joined by Windblade, and all three of them were lashed to the [[Crown City Colossus]] while the Decepticons worked to summon [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}} With their ranks bolstered by a revived Optimus Prime, the three Autobots were freed and joined in the fight. Although Optimus faltered in his fight against Megatronus, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Strongarm were able to unlock the power of their Decepticon hunters and give themselves a power-up, allowing them to fire a sustained blast at Megatronus and vaporize him. With Steeljaw's gang almost entirely arrested, Strongarm opted to remain on Earth alongside her commander. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}}

While listening to Optimus's old war stories, Strongarm got into yet another fight with Sideswipe. Following a GroundBridge explosion, she helped clear up and along with Bumblebee and Grimlock, was defeated by Overload when the Decepticon arrived at the scrapyard. {{storylink|Overloaded, Part 1}} After tracking Overload to a parking lot, the team split up with Grimlock and Strongarm trying to track the Cyclone Mini-Cons. They soon realized they'd actually been tracking humans, but managed to maintain their cover. They caught up with Bumblebee in time to help take Overload back to base. {{storylink|Overloaded, Part 2}}

Missing the teamwork she had developed with Sideswipe, Strongarm attempted to establish a similar rapport with Grimlock, which mainly resulted in them bungling an attempt to capture [[Saberhorn]]. During the later fight at the steel mill, they were eventually able to work together enough to save Bumblebee from being melted down, though Saberhorn himself got away. {{storylink|Metal Meltdown}} When she accidentally endangered some motorists during the pursuit of [[Crazybolt (RID)|Crazybolt]] and [[Slicedice]], Strongarm became demoralized and turned in her Decepticon Hunter. After an attempt to get her to help Fixit backfired badly, she resigned herself to rusting in the corner, however a fire started by Crazybolt endangered some humans, and Bumblebee was able to spur her into returning to the field to save them. {{storylink|Suspended}}

Bumblebee, Strongarm, and Grimlock captured the Mini-Con [[Torpor]], though the mission was nearly botched when Grimlock stumbled in on the other two Autobots as they strategised, tipping their target off to their whereabouts. When Grimlock gained increased brainpower fom a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]], Strongarm and Bumblebee took him along on an attempt to capture [[Simacore]]. Though during the operation, she and Bumblebee were trapped against a particle accelerator and in danger of being particle collided, Fixit came up with a cure for Grimlock, and the Dinobot rescued them both. {{storylink|Brainpower}}

[[File:Misdirection-StrongarmvsSteeljaw.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

When a wounded Steeljaw turned up at the scrapyard, Bumblebee, Strongarm and Grimlock followed the trail of energon he'd left to a disused drive in. Following the arrival of [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]], Crazybolt and Slicedice, the Autobots discovered that Steeljaw had been feigning. Strongarm sped back to base where she confronted the Con, and though she was able to best him in combat and rescue Fixit, Denny and Russell, he managed to get away and had freed a bunch of prisoners. {{storylink|Misdirection}}

[[File:Impounded-Strongarmblasting.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

After weeks of hunting for leads to find the new group of Decepticons, Strongarm turned down the opportunity to stake out a [[Rear Axle]] concert in favor of brushing up on her regulations. When Bisk turned up at the concert, Bumblebee called her and Grimlock in as backup, however the pair were held up by traffic. {{storylink|Bumblebee's Night Off}} The Autobots tracked down the Decepticon [[Silverhound]] to a carnival, and engaged him in a nearby parking lot. After a brief struggle, during which Grimlock was tossed in the middle of a nearby crowd, Strongarm successfully captured the Alchemor escapee. She then covered for Grimlock, announcing on her speakers that he was part of an upcoming exhibit; "If Dinosaurs Could Talk." On their next mission, she and Bumblebee were stunned by Quillfire's quills and ended up in an impound lot, booted and dazed. Strongarm particularly objected to being held among "common criminals" in the lot. They had to be rescued by Denny and Russell, and with the help of Grimlock, now sporting a construction crane disguise for his dino mode, successfully captured Quillfire and his two new Mini-Con partners, [[Back]] and [[Forth]]. {{storylink|Impounded}}

After an incident with the GroundBridge brought [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] to Earth, Strongarm and Grimlock were knocked out by the Decepticon. They recovered, only to be warped away from the junkyard alongside [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] by a portal created by Soundwave. Working together, Strongarm and Grimlock were able to shut down Laserbeak, then rushed back to the rest of the team. They arrived just as Denny, Fixit, Russel, and Bumblebee managed to get Soundwave back into the [[shadowzone (dimension)|shadowzone]], and threw the Decepticon Mini-Con back into the other dimension after its master. {{storylink|Portals}} Strongarm was on a mission in an area that interfered with Fixit's communication equipment when Optimus Prime needed assistance defeating [[Stockade (RID)|Stockade]]'s troops. {{storylink|Graduation Exercises}}

After a chance encounter resulted in [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] joining the team, the Autobots got a lead to the location of the remaining Decepticons on Earth; [[Toolbox]], recent escapee from "Decepticon Island." The Autobots disguised Grimlock as a Decepticon, and used a ruse wherein the rest of the team posed as captives to infiltrate the crashed ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]],'' base to the Decepticons. Despite making good headway at first, Strongarm and the others were discovered by the Decepticon higher ups after an argument between Bumblebee and Optimus caused the mission to stall out. The Autobots then found themselves completely surrounded by Steeljaw's troops. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}}

Thanks to Windblade providing them with an impromptu distraction, the rest of the Autobots managed to make a break for it and slipped away from the Decepticons. They then split up into smaller teams, with Strongarm, Grimlock, and Sideswipe being sent off to try and free the Mini-Cons being held captive. They ended up in a communications room where they encountered Groundpounder and Thunderhoof. By kicking him while he was in mid-air, Strongarm put Sideswipe outside the range of one of Thunderhoof's seismic stomps, allowing him to get to a nearby monitor and transmit a disabling frequency. Holding onto consciousness for seconds longer than the Decepticons could, Strongarm's team managed to best their opponents. After using the communications equipment to free the Mini-Cons, the trio escaped the ship before the [[cryo-gas]] set up by Bumblebee bomb froze everyone aboard.

In the aftermath of the battle, several Autobots opted to return to Cybertron, as the current Decepticon crisis had been dealt with. Strongarm decided to instead stay on Earth, and help Bumblebee set up a permanent base of operations to more properly meet any future threats that might come to the planet. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}} When news of the Bee Team's exploits reached Cybertron, Strongarm became one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

Bumblebee took his team on a tour of interesting locations on Earth, culminating in them visiting the remains of [[Autobot Outpost Omega One]], only to find a strange bomb had been set up to detonate. Strongarm was paired with Grimlock when the team split up to search, only to have to leave him to go find Bumblebee after he stepped on a mine. On the way, she spotted that the bomb's explosion was imminent, and ended up having to alert Bumblebee to that fact as well. {{storylink|History Lessons}}

[[File:StrongarmsBigScore Strongarm post arrest.jpg|thumb|left|270px]]
After a training exercise went awry, Strongarm was surprised to find she had the lowest of the [[PASERQuAT]] scores Fixit had prepared. She insisted on taking him on her next mission to improve her score, and as a result he accompanied her to [[Mount St. Hilary]], where the pair found [[Scatterspike]] and [[Sawtooth (RID)|Sawtooth]] engaged in a drilling operation that threatened to cause the volcano to erupt. After capturing Scatterspike in a fight that spilled out into a nearby [[Star Visitor Estates|human settlement]], Strongarm successfully prevented the volcano from exploding, and Fixit raised her score by a point and a half. In return, she prepared a score for him, but wouldn't tell him what it was. {{storylink|Strongarm's Big Score}}

Drift and Strongarm checked out the Great Wall of China as the searching of Cybertronian sites continued. When they later joined Grimlock after the Dinobot encountered Thermidor and Tricerashot, Strongarm joined in the pursuit, however her attempt to cooperate with Sideswipe ended up with them both crashing. {{storylink|Pretzel Logic}}

Team Bee retrieved a [[high energy pulse generator]] from [[Egypt]], only to have to destroy it when it threatened to fry their brains. Following an invasion of the scrapyard by the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, the team lost both their own Mini-Cons and their leader, after they were abducted by [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Mighty Big Trouble}} Joined by Optimus, the team split up to search for Starscream. Sideswipe and Strongarm stumbled on the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, and the initial hostilities were brought to an end when the Mini-Cons recognized the Prime. A short time later, they ran into the Scavengers, and during the fight, Strongarm linked with Sawtooth to great effect, until the Weaponizer Mini-Cons were captured by Starscream. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}} The Scavengers defeated, Strongarm and the rest of the team located Starscream's ship, and during the ensuing battle with the Decepticons, they were knocked out by Starscream. They eventually managed to defeat Starscream, despite him successfully merging with the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, by dragging him down into range of Fixit's signal so he could be de-merged. After farewelling Optimus and the Mini-Cons, Team Bee split up to search more Cybertronian sites. {{storylink|Worthy}}

[[File:KingOfTheHill2 Strongarm reigns in Sideswipe.jpg|right|thumb|260px]]
After a period of downtime, Strongarm and Sideswipe were sent to investigate a Decepticon signal. After attempting to capture [[Heatseeker]] themselves, Strongarm opted to call in the rest of the team when the [[Stunticon (Prime)|Stunticon]] endangered a nuclear waste disposal site. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 1)}} The pair were assigned the task of getting a [[hermit]] to vacate the danger zone, which they accomplished before rejoining the rest of the team. An explosion resulted in the entire team being merged into [[Ultra Bee|one robot]] while unconscious and ultimately Heatseeker got away. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 2)}}

The Autobots' next mission took them to [[Antarctica]], where they had to recapture [[Crustacion]] after the Decepticon was freed from one of Windblade's caches. Strongarm and Sideswipe worked to rescue the humans at a base while the rest of the team caught the Con. {{Storylink|Defrosted}} When a stricken plane endangered another cache, the team were joined by [[Rescue Bot]] [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]], whose personality was a little too similar to Sideswipe's for Strongarm's linking. The team had to track down [[Ragebyte]] and ensure he didn't blow up [[Crown City Bridge]]. {{storylink|Blurred}}

Strongarm, along with the rest of the team, found herself unable to resist the [[Sphere of Doradus]] thanks to the energies it was giving off. The team were eventually able to resist its effects long enough to capture Springload. {{storylink|Sphere of Influence}} She and Bumblebee went to retrieve a Decepticon Hunter from one of Windblade's caches, only to have to call in the rest of the team when they encountered [[Dragstrip (WFC)|Drag Strip]] and [[Wildbreak]]. {{storylink|Bee Cool}}

[[File:TRID S3 E8 GAC MSS.jpg|left|thumb|300px]]
After a methane explosion occurred during an attempt to capture Drag Strip, the team found themselves merged into one robot. In the aftermath, they ended up with two Sideswipes, something Strongarm had had nightmares about, and she ended up having to work with them as the team retrieved the relic Drag Strip had stolen. {{storylink|The Great Divide}} Strongarm drew on Dropforge's teachings in order to solve the mystery of some Decepticon burglaries, which led the Autobots to catch [[Boostwing]]. She wasn't quite satisfied with the resolution to the case, which led her and Russell to track down Boostwing's brothers [[Pilfer]] and [[Jacknab]], who had also been stealing things in Crown City. {{storylink|Get a Clue}}

When Drift's old mentor [[Shadow Raker]] showed up on Earth, Strongarm and the team helped Drift recover his Mini-Con students after the Decepticon kidnapped them. {{storylink|Out of the Shadows}} Another of Fixit's combiner experiments led to the Autobots temporarily switching bodies. Strongarm was thrilled to be Bumblebee, and even more so when she was put in charge of the subsequent road race mission to defeat the Stunticons, though she found she had difficulty getting the rest of the team to follow her orders. {{storylink|Disordered Personalities}}

When Nightra turned up, Strongarm bought her story about being a bounty hunter on the run from a Con she'd previously caught, and when the Con in question abducted Nightra, Strongarm brought the rest of the Bee Team to rescue her. Unfortunately it turned out the "Con" was actually the Autobot bounty hunter [[Blastwave]] and Strongarm had to arrest her former friend as a criminal. {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}} Strongarm had to put up with Grimlock becoming an artist and making terrible sculptures of her. {{storylink|The Golden Knight}}

[[File:RiD2015 - Combine and Conquer - Reaction Faces.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Discussion subject: following Da Rulz.]]
Grimlock developed super speed as the result of one of Fixit's experiments, forcing the team to have to deal with him at the same time as they fought Simacore and his army of [[Mini-Clones|cloned Mini-Cons]]. {{storylink|The Fastest Bot Alive!}} During a mission to prevent the Stunticons from stealing the power source of a maglev train, Strongarm lost her Decepticon Hunter — part of a series of thefts of the weapons by some mysterious Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Railroad Rage}}

Strongarm was initially overjoyed when Bumblebee announced new strict discipline as they hunted the Stunticons, however it soon became apparent he was being too strict even for her, and she had to talk him into toning it down. The team managed to combine into their Ultra Bee form without the aid of Fixit's equipment and fought Menasor. {{storylink|Combine and Conquer}} When Optimus visited to recruit Drift for a mission, Strongarm and Sideswipe started competing to prove they were worthy of going instead. A call from Windblade sent the team to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], where they succeeded in preventing the Stunticons from accessing a cache, and defeated the Decepticon team once and for all. Optimus later told the pair he didn't want to deprive Bumblebee of their skills. {{storylink|Moon Breaker}}

A sudden assault on the scrapyard, forced the Autobots to abandon base and hole up in the nearby caves. They tracked the Decepticon culprits to the Crown River Dam and discovered Steeljaw and his pack were back to make problems for them. {{storylink|Exiles}} When Sideswipe left the cave despite Bumblebee's orders to stay put, Strongarm gave chase and the pair were trapped in a cargo container together by Clampdown. They eventually managed to get free and help Bumblebee, whom the 'Cons had also captured, get some payback on their captors. {{storylink|Breathing Room}}

[[File:FreedomFighters Strongarm salutes.jpg|thumb|left|270px]]
The team tangled with the Decepticons again, this time interrupting them while they were trying to steal nuclear waste. {{storylink|Prepare for Departure}} Strongarm found herself having trouble reconciling adhering to the [[Kaon Conventions]] with the need to capture Steeljaw's pack, and ended up hauling Clampdown around handcuffed to herself. In the end, they captured most of the pack. {{storylink|Prisoner Principles}} The team was joined by Optimus Prime as they defeated Soundwave and prevented the Decepticon from irradiating the entire planet. {{storylink|Collateral Damage}}

Strongarm got respite from having to tow Grimlock's trailer when Bumblebee decided to prove he could do the "grunt work" he was always asking his team to do. She and the rest of the team were forced to recapture Underbite when the Decepticons escaped. {{storylink|Something He Ate}} An attack by [[Wingcode]] left Bumblebee, Strongarm and Sideswipe incapacitated and slowly deteriorating until Grimlock and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] managed to capture the Decepticon so Fixit could create a cure. {{storylink|Sick as a Bot}} Strongarm was reunited with Dropforge during the pursuit of Steeljaw, only for her old instructor to lock the team up. She was able act on a hunch and prove Dropforge was under the influence of a mind control signal from Cybertron, using Steeljaw's tech to free him of its influence. {{storylink|Five Fugitives}}

A visit by Optimus sent the Bee Team to Cybertron in ''[[Prime Force One]]'', where after evading the planetary defenses, they landed and were immediately surrounded by security. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}} With the help of Dropforge and Steeljaw, the team managed to gain entry to the [[High Council Tower]]. Discovering that the council were actually disguised Decepticons led by [[Cyclonus (WFC)|Cyclonus]], the team merged into Ultra Bee to combat the Decepticons' own combined form while Fixit disabled the Decepticon mind control. A protracted battle followed, but the Autobots prevailed, and in the aftermath, Optimus assigned the Bee Team as ambassadors to Earth. The team returned to the planet they now regarded as home, and found themselves again pursuing Steeljaw. {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}}

Strongarm and Grimlock checked on a stasis pod, only to find it empty. After they tracked the Decepticon fruitlessly for some time, Bumblebee arrived to point them in the direction of the [[Fun-A-Rama]] amusement park, where the team found and captured [[Flamefeather (RID)|Flamefeather]]. {{storylink|Fire, When Ready!}} During a training exercise, Strongarm mainly squabbled Sideswipe, resulting in the team's defeat. The pair were sent to investigate activity, but proved unable to capture [[Spinhead]] and had to return to the scrapyard empty handed. Fortunately Bumblebee came up with a plan and the whole team managed to defeat the Decepticon. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 1|Robots in Disguise #1}}

Strongarm took part in the capture of [[Transit (RID)|Transit]]. During a visit by [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]]'s team, Strongarm got to meet [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and was disguised as the Decepticon [[Retrofit]] in an attempt to capture [[Clipshade]]. She was unfortunately rumbled, but Clipshade was captured anyway. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 2|Robots in Disguise #2}}

After establishing the location of [[Overhead]], Strongarm and the rest of the team managed to take the Decepticon down. After Overhead gave them a distress beacon she claimed would bring the leader of the [[Cybercomrade Sect]] she belonged to, Strongarm was left to guard her while Bumblebee and Grimlock set a trap. Unfortunately Overhead was the real sect leader, and overpowered Strongarm before escaping. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 3|Robots in Disguise #3}}

Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus making up took longer than Strongarm had expected, but the Autobots soon made amends and, through her Croctobot lackeys, tracked Overhead to an abandoned petrosynthesis chemical plant. They tripped a silent alarm, however, giving Overhead time to hide and jump an unsuspecting Strongarm, but Strongarm broke out of her headlock by flipping Overhead overhead and soon after saved Arcee from a nasty hit. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 4|Robots in Disguise #4}}

Following the defeat of Megatronus, Strongarm and the rest of Team Bee were lured to [[Fort Tucker]] as a distraction while Steeljaw and [[Steve (Vehicon)|Steve]] abducted Fixit and Russell from the scrapyard. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 5|Robots in Disguise #5}} Returning to base, the team found empty stasis pods and the computer trashed, and were forced to resort to their own wits to work out where Steeljaw was. They to successfully located the cave in question, rescuing Fixit and Russell before engaging Steeljaw's crew. Strongarm managed to deal Thunderhoof a decent blow before she was hit by a Vehicon. Eventually the three Vehicons realized that Steeljaw was not part of Megatron's command, and in the aftermath Team Bee was left with the majority of Steeljaw's team as prisoners. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 6|Robots in Disguise #6}}

===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' books===
When the Autobots detected [[Scuzzard]] on the loose, Strongarm, Bumblebee, and Sideswipe managed to lure the Decepticon into a trap, though things got hairy for Strongarm for a while. The Decepticon was snatched from them by the newly-escaped Filch, and the Autobots were forced to track down and capture both of the birdbots. {{storylink|Bumblebee Versus Scuzzard}} Detecting Autobots signals at the docks, the Autobots stumbled on a fight between Underbite, Thunderhoof, and [[Slink]]'s gang. Strongarm managed to tie up [[Sneak]] before having to help Sideswipe in his fight against Thunderhoof. She later netted Slink and [[Snitch (RID)|Snitch]] as the Autobots captured Slink's gang. {{storylink|Sideswipe Versus Thunderhoof}}

After the team captured [[Forager]] who appeared to rescue Drift, throwing doubt on the Autobot's motives, Strongarm played it cautiously, worried that Drift would team up with the Decepticons. She and the rest of the team were captured a short time later when [[Foxtrot]] and [[Stilts]] took over the scrapyard and put the team in stasis pods. The team was eventually freed with Drift's help, and turned the tables on the Decepticons. {{storylink|Drift's Samurai Showdown}}

Bumblebee attempted to get Strongarm to loosen up by joining the others in a game of football. She and the rest of the team took on [[Skinkbomb]], only to find the Decepticon's explosives formidable, and the fight was lost when Bumblebee became distracted. Though the team thought Bumblebee might be suffering from brain rust, the next time they faced Skinkbomb, they all heard the illusionary Optimus Prime's voice and were all able to overcome the Decepticon regardless. {{storylink|The Trials of Optimus Prime}}

Strongarm, Bumblebee and Grimlock attempted to arrest the Decepticon [[Brakepad]], only to fall foul of his lethargy-inducing powers. After they returned to the scrapyard empty-handed, Denny and Russell had to force them to go back out into the field and capture Brakepad. {{Storylink|Autobot World Tour}}

*'''Strongarm''' (Legion Class, [[2015]])

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Legion figures, Strongarm transforms into a police SUV. In robot mode, her fists are compatible with 3mm-peg weapons, although she does not come with any herself. Her head is sculpted with her [[mouthplate|battle mask]] deployed.

:Her scannable Autobot [[insignia]] is on her driver's-side door in vehicle mode, becoming her left arm in robot mode. This badge is accessible while she is still in-package.

:Although her kneecaps were painted blue in the initial stock photos, the final product leaves them bare as the thighs are made from [[unpaintable plastic]]. She also features different paint details on her face compared to the final product. The instructions also tell you to rearrange the arm kibble before you fold the legs up in vehicle mode. It's recommended to do it the other way 'round.

: This mold was also used to make [[Ratchet (WFC)#RIDLegion|''Robots in Disguise'' Ratchet]].

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TAV34'''

:Available only in this four-pack, this version of Strongarm is a redeco of the original Legion Class Strongarm toy, replacing her blue plastics with white, and giving her a ''ton'' of new [[paint operation]]s to make for an amazingly show-accurate toy at such a small scale...even though they forgot the side-windows.

:This toy lacks a scan-badge sticker, unlike virtually all of the ''Robots in Disguise/Adventure'' products. Instead its scan-badge is printed on a single collector's card that also features the badges for the other three figures in the set.

:Like the rest of the ''Adventure'' EZ Collection sets, some online retailers like Amazon Japan were still selling it 2 years later at greatly reduced prices (70% off).

:Strongarm was released as a four-pack along with [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#TAV34|Bumblebee]], [[Sideswipe (RID)#TAV34|Sideswipe]], and [[The Fallen/toys#TAV34|Megatronus]].

:Part of the third wave of Mini-Con/armor two-packs, and the first wave with the new "Mini-Con Weaponizers" branding, this version of Strongarm is slightly smaller than her Warrior-class toy (putting her more in show-like scale with the Warrior Decepticons) and with a slightly simpler transformation. She comes with multiple clear-plastic armor pieces that can attach to her robot mode. Unlike prior waves, these pieces do not form a separate super-weapon, but instead attach to her pack-in partner [[Sawtooth (RID)|Sawtooth]] in either robot or weapon mode.

:The TakaraTomy release of this set gives Strongarm a considerable amount of paint on her torso and head, and more paint detailing on her vehicle mode front end.

:Part of the first wave of [[One-Step Changer]]s, Strongarm transforms from robot to police SUV in a single step: folding down her vehicle-mode hood and truck bed unfolds and spins around her robot mode from the cab area. In robot mode, she has extremely limited posability, with just shoulder-swivels and some extra outward-swing thanks to her transformation. Her fists have [[5mm post]]-compatible holes. Due to how the legs are molded, Strongarm cannot ride on [[Grimlock_(RID_2015)#Stomp_.26_Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]].

:Her scannable Autobot [[insignia]] is on her right shoulder in robot mode. As it's on a folded-up robot bit and she's packaged in vehicle mode, there's no way to scan this while she is still in-package.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Adventure'' release of "Easy Dynamic" Strongarm was released as the only ED figure in the series' fifth wave of product. It features an extensive amount of paint applications for greater show-accuracy, though they missed her hands, waist, and feet.

This Strongarm cannot ride on [[Grimlock_(RID_2015)#Stomp_.26_Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]].

:In the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], it was identified alternatively as an "Advanced One-Step" or "Evolved One-Step" figure depending on the user's region, but on the toy's packaging, no such modifiers are featured, and it is available as part of the regular One-Step Changer assortment.

*'''Strongarm''' (Warrior Class, 2014/2015)
**''Japanese release date'': '''2015-[[March 21|03-21]]'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''TAV03'''
**''Accessories:'' Rifle

:Part of the first wave of Hasbro's Warrior-class figures, Strongarm transforms into a police SUV of made-up model. This larger, more complex and poseable version of the character includes a rifle accessory (with an odd permanent "blast effect" on the barrel-tip), which can be mounted using 5mm ports in both robot and vehicle mode. Like so many toys, her head is designed with a [[light-piping]] [[gimmick]] that's rendered moot by both opaque plastic and painted optics.

:Her scannable Autobot [[insignia]] is on her robot-mode right chestplate. As she's packaged in robot mode, this badge is easily scannable on-card without purchase.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Adventure'' version of this toy (sold in the first wave of product) uses a deeper shade of blue, as well as having more complicated [[paint operation]]s. In vehicle mode she has a silver grill and blue striping on her hood, as well as more complicated striping on her side-panels. In robot mode, rather than having the solid-blue chestplate and helmet, she has much more show-accurate white-and-blue striping. Her scan-badge is also different, used in TakaraTomy's ''Transformers Chronicle'' app, though in-package it's covered by a dummy sticker to prevent pre-purchase scanning.

:This mold was also used to make [[Greejeeber]], and retooled differently into [[Ratchet (WFC)#Robots in Disguise (2015)|Ratchet]]. In 2017, the original figure eventually made a comeback in the 10th wave of the Warrior Class line with the "Combiner Force" packaging. Her scannable sticker is also altered, but scanning the badge only unlocks Energon currency, but not the character.

**''ID number:'' '''TAVVS03'''

: Strongarm was also released in a TakaraTomy "VS" two-pack, pitting her against fellow police-vehicle [[Phantomjaw]]. This release of Strongarm is physically identical to her individual release.

====Crash Combiners====
{{anchor|CrashCombiners}}
* '''Strongarm and Optimus Prime''' (Crash Combiners, 2016/2017)
:Part of the first wave of the ''Combiner Force'' subline, Strongarm is a roughly Legion-class sized figure with a ''very'' basic transformation: flip the head out of the chest and move the arms and legs to the side slightly. Strongarm can form the legs of any Crash Combiner, nominally with the included Optimus Prime. She features no useful articulation to speak of. A [[5mm post]] hole on top of her vehicle mode can accommodate a compatible accessory or Weaponizer Minicon, though individually she cannot use it in robot mode.

:The instruction sheet amusingly replaces Optimus's last picture in the transformation process with that of [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]].

*'''Strongarm & Trickout''' (Activator Combiner, 2017)

:Part of the first wave of Activator Combiners, Strongarm is a larger-but-simpler-than-Warrior figure that transforms into her usual patrol truck mode. Plugging an Activator Mini-Con, such as her pack-in partner [[Trickout]], onto her vehicle-mode lightbar activates "Throttle Up" mode, opening her front side-panels and popping her wheels down for a more monster-truck-like vehicle mode. This mode can also be triggered without a Mini-Con by pushing the black button behind the lightbar.

*'''Ultra Bee''' (Team Combiner, 2017)

:Released as part of the [[Ultra Bee]] set, Strongarm transforms from robot to vehicle in just 1 step, and combines with Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Grimlock to form Ultra Bee. As a Team Combiner limb, Strongarm can swap any right arm of any other Team Combiners.

:Each toy uses the same universal combination joint as the other Team Combiners and the [[Crash Combiner]]s, which can lead to some... ''interesting'' combinations, given that most robots form very specific body parts when combined. Mixing Crash Combiners with Team Combiners leads to some ''especially'' weird results.

===Kre-O===
[[File:KreO-toy Strongarm.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Strongarm Capture Cruiser''' (2015)
**''Set Number'': '''B1549'''
**''Pieces'': '''105'''
**''Kreons'': Strongarm, [[Springload (RID)#Kre-O|Springload]]
**''Accessories'': Crossbow

: Only available in the "Strongarm Capture Cruiser" set, this Strongarm Kreon uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. She also comes with a buildable [[Capture Cruiser]] vehicle modeled vaguely after her.

: While the Kreon itself does not have a scannable badge, the set's [[instructions|instruction booklet]] has a unique scan-badge that rewards the player with a Strongarm Kreon item.

:All of the 2015 ''Transformers [[Kre-O]]'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set... although Strongarm and [[Sideswipe (RID)#Kre-O|Sideswipe]]'s sets turned up in considerably smaller numbers than the others.

*'''Strongarm''' (2015)
**''Pieces'': '''9'''
**''Accessories'': Crossbow

:Part of the fourth wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' —and the second of the ''Robots in Disguise''-themed product— Strongarm is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. She has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

:She is designed with a removable head, forearms, upper legs, and boots, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means her pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: The ''Robots in Disguise''-branded Hero Mashers were not released in the U.S., seeing release mostly in European and Australian markets.

**''Series'': '''1'''
**''Number'': '''3/12'''

:Part of the initial assortment of ''[[Tiny Titans]]'', this version of Strongarm is a very small, minimally-painted soft-plastic figure of her in robot mode, sporting a battle-ready boxing stance.

:Sold in a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] baggie (though there is a tiny window on the back to peek in and see what's inside), she comes with a collectible card with a scan-badge for the mobile game, which unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item.

===''Radz''===
{{anchor|Radz}}
*'''Strong Arm'''{{sic}} (Radz candy dispenser, 2015)
**''Blindbag code'': '''F'''

: The [[Radz]] candy-dispenser version of Strongarm is a plastic sphereoid with feet, spiky "hair", and a keychain fob. Pulling the hair back opens the toy's "mouth" and projects a little bowl-like tongue, dispensing a single colored sugar pellet. The hair can be taken off to refill the dispenser, and swapped with any other Radz.

:Strongarm was available only in a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] baggie, though the bag has a code number on the back under the "best by" date that tells you what's inside (only the last letter is the important part). She comes with a bag of sugar pellets, and a mini-poster with a collection checklist on the back.

===McDonald's===
*'''Strongarm Vision Mask / Strongarm Mask''' (2016 / 2017)
**''McNumber'': '''6''' (US only)

:Part of the third [[McDonald's]] Happy Meal promotion for ''Robots in Disguise'' in the US (fifth globally), this Strongarm mask is unique among the Happy Meal masks in that it adds a movable clear-red viewfinder that can drop down over either eye, letting the wearer "scan" stuff in the style of the old [[Tech Spec]] decoders.

: Scanning the figure into the "McPlay" app opens up some ''Transformers / My Little Pony'' activities.

: This set of masks was first released in Asian markets in early 2016. In October 2017, the four masks were matched with four figures from the early-2017 non-US promo and finally released in the US in a joint promotion with ''My Little Pony''.

{{anchor|McFigure}}
*'''Strongarm / Strongarm Figure''' (2017)
**''McNumber'': '''5''' (US only)
**''Accessories'': Missile launcher, missile

:Part of the fourth McDonald's Happy Meal promotion for ''Robots in Disguise'' in the US (fifth globally), this Strongarm is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming action figure with articulation at the neck and shoulders. Her oversized missile launcher accessory uses a [[5mm post]], making her compatible with most other "modern" ''Transformers'' accessories.

: Scanning the figure into the "McPlay" mobile app opens up some ''Transformers / My Little Pony'' activities.

: This set of toys was first released in European markets in early 2017. In October 2017, four of the five figures were matched with the masks from the 2016 non-US promo and finally released in the US in a joint promotion with ''My Little Pony''.

===Surprise Drinks===
[[File:TF-RID2015-Surprise-Drinks-Strongarm.jpg|250px|thumb|At nearly $2 a 10oz bottle... yyyeah.]]
*'''Strongarm''' (2016)

: The ''Transformers: Robots in Disguise'' "[[Surprise Drinks]]" bottles come with two different Strongarm toys: a show-accurate 1.5-inch non-transforming soft-plastic figurine, or a similarly-sized pencil-topper of her head. These toys are hidden inside the capsule attached to the bottle by the wrapper. These are randomly blindpacked and do ''not'' correlate with who's on the wrapper, and there's no codes, so... good luck.
{{-}}

===Kinder Surprise===
*'''Transformers: Robots in Disguise''' (2015)
:Only available inside a blindpacked chocolate egg as part of Kinder's ''Transformers: Robots in Disguise'' series, this buildable Strongarm mini-figure consists of a generic "cog" onto which her limbs and armor can be clipped to construct her. She has articulation on her shoulders and upper legs.

==Notes==
[[File:Strongarm Adventure Dancing Queen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
* While Strongarm's abdomen and upper legs are actually dark gray (with light gray and white panels), none of her toys get the color right.
* The end credits sequence for ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)#Japanese release|Adventure]]'' proves Strongarm's got some moves on the dance floor.
* The [[Flock]] member [[Matilda]] takes on Strongarm's form in ''[[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]]''.

:''Strongarm is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:Strongarm_(RID).jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Next time on ''Rookie Blue''...]]
Cadet '''Strongarm''' sees a bright future in law enforcement ahead of her. She knows the regulations front-to-back, able to recall them by number with ease as needed (often to her teammates' chagrin). She is full of seemingly-boundless energy, and is more than willing to throw herself into dangerous situations in order to collar a target. Being assigned to work with [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], hero of the war with the Decepticons, is a sure sign that she's destined to go places! Maybe even all the way to [[Earth]]!

This enthusiasm for her job makes her a tenacious officer, but also difficult to work with. Bumblebee's rather loose command style doesn't quite gel with the cadet's by-the-rules approach, as she uses protocol to sometimes get around Bumblebee's orders. It also puts her directly at odds with [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], a bot who breaks rules almost habitually and constantly thumbs his nose at authority. She's not terribly thrilled about working with convicted criminal [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] either, but at least he doesn't specifically try and pick fights with her like Sideswipe does.

Sometimes she works with the [[Mini-Con]]s [[Sawtooth (RID)|Sawtooth]] or [[Trickout]]. She can also combine with either the legendary war hero [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] to form [[Primestrong]], or with the rest of the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] to form [[Ultra Bee]].

[[File:RID-CybertronianBumblebeeStrongarm.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5]]
Cadet Strongarm of the [[Cybertron Police]] {{storylink|Five Fugitives}} studied under [[Dropforge]] at the [[Kaon Police Academy]]; {{storylink|Get a Clue}} she was classmates and friends with [[Nightra]] before the latter's explusion for attempting to cheat on her exams. {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}} She was still a cadet when she was partnered with Bumblebee. She and her partner captured the criminal [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} while patrolling Kaon City. {{storylink|Can You Dig It?}} Unfortunately for Bumblebee, she then insisted that regulations meant she had to accompany him on a trip to [[Earth]] after [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] appeared to him in a series of visions. There they found that the prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' had crashed, scattering [[Decepticon]] prisoners over the nearby area. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}}

[[File:PilotPart1 Strongarm Cybertronian vehicle.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5|[[Carmine Fanzone|Captain Fanzone]], eat your heart out]]
Adopting a local vehicular form, Strongarm joined the team in recapturing the escaped Decepticon [[Underbite]] before he could reach and devour nearby [[Crown City]]. The operation was a success, though she was unsure about the wisdom of allowing Sideswipe and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] to remain on the team. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 2)}}

Strongarm and Sideswipe continued having trouble working together, inadvertently resulting in Strongarm's comms being damaged. When the pair went sent on a mission to investigate fugitive signals, they split up, and Strongarm was captured by [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], who tried to convince her that he intended to dwell peacefully on Earth. She was freed by Sideswipe and Russell, though Steeljaw got away. {{storylink|Trust Exercises}} Strongarm and the team managed to capture [[Bisk (RID)|Bisk]]. They later encountered [[Chop Shop (RID)|Chop Shop]] and were unprepared for the Decepticon's ability to split into component parts. When Strongarm attempted to tackle one of his components, it resulted in Chop Shop taking Fixit as a new right arm, however the team were eventually successful in rescuing the Mini-Con and capturing the Decepticon. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RID)|More than Meets the Eye}}

[[File:TrustExercises Strongarm points gun.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|Strongarm uses her famous death stare.]]

Sideswipe and Strongarm continued to squabble — when they went to a [[Crown City Museum of Natural History and Sciences|museum]], Strongarm alternated between doing so and towing Grimlock on a trailer. Splitting up, the team was unable to capture [[Terrashock]] until Bumblebee came up with a way to hunt the Decepticon on his own terms. {{storylink|W.W.O.D.?}} Strongarm searched the ''Alchemor'' crash site again but only turned up a [[Decepticon Hunter]], which she was unable to get working despite Fixit's instructions. During the mission to protect the generator at the dam, she was forced to help Grimlock back to the scrapyard, and was unable to help hunt for [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]]. {{storylink|As the Kospego Commands!}}

[[File:CollectEmAll Strongarm rulebook.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|Strongarm/rule book, BFFs]]
Feeling homesick, Strongarm began breaking out in hives, as well as relying more and more on the rulebook, which irritated Sideswipe as they searched for the Decepticon [[Filch]]. After some encouragement from Bumblebee, Strongarm broke several rules as they captured Filch, though she later wrote the others up anyway. {{storylink|Collect 'Em All}} When Grimlock turned on the other Autobots and stole Underbite's stasis pod, Strongarm's first instinct was that Grimlock had been pretending to be good all along. She, Bumblebee and Sideswipe tracked him to [[Crown River Dam]], where they discovered that he had been under the control of [[Minitron]]. {{storylink|True Colors}}

After begging, Strongarm got her own solo mission, only to find that Bumblebee was following her. Despite several missteps, she managed to capture the Decepticon [[Springload (RID)|Springload]] with his help. {{storylink|Rumble in the Jungle}} Teamed with Bumblebee, Strongarm hunted [[Ped (RID)|Ped]] in subterranean tunnels, and was forced to help support part of Crown City when it was undermined by the Decepticon's digging. She later became trapped at the bottom of a pit during a later successful attempt to capture Ped. {{storylink|Can You Dig It?}} When Bumblebee was regressed to immaturity thanks to [[Quillfire (RID)|Quillfire]]'s toxins, Strongarm saw the opportunity to test herself in a leadership role. After suffering a number of Bumblebee's pranks, she took Grimlock to go hunt Quillfire, only to have Bumblebee follow them. Following a jaunt on a carnival ride and Quillfire's incapacitation, Strongarm had Grimlock chain Bumblebee up until he recovered from the toxin. {{storylink|Adventures in Bumblebee-Sitting!}}

[[File:OutOfFocus Strongarm towing Grimlock.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|Capture rampaging dinobots with the all new Strongarm:Dinobot hauler!]]
When [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] and [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] came to Earth to collect the bounty on Bumblebee, Strongarm was captured by the Decepticon to use as a ransom along with the other Autobots. {{storylink|Hunting Season}} Strongarm and Sideswipe continued their bickering, even as the team hunted the [[Skunkticon]] gang led by [[Malodor]], hampering efforts at several points during the chase. {{storylink|Out of Focus}}

After discovering that Strongarm had been sneaking off the base, Sideswipe blackmailed her into doing undesirable jobs for him. After they tangled with Steeljaw's gang, Bumblebee revealed he already knew about Strongarm sneaking out, and Strongarm revealed she had been using a nearby carwash. {{storylink|Sideways (episode)|Sideways}} Strongarm joined Sideswipe, Russell, and Grimlock for a horror movie marathon; the three Autobots tried to scare Russell to no avail. Strongarm joined Bumblebee and the rest of the team for an excursion to a local cave network in pursuit of a Decepticon signal. They encountered [[Nightstrike]], who picked them off one by one and tried to drain their energon. Trapped in a cocoon, Strongarm was forced to hallucinate her worst fear—disgracing the Kaon police force. {{storylink|Even Robots Have Nightmares}}

Strongarm towed Grimlock to the Crown City subway system after Sideswipe went missing. She discovered that the mad scientist [[Vertebreak (RID)|Vertebreak]] had stolen Sideswipe's body, and she was forced to fight him. With Sideswipe's help, the other Autobots managed to incapacitate and recapture Vertebreak, and Strongarm challenged the repaired Sideswipe to a race home. {{storylink|Some Body, Any Body}} After Drift and Slipstream returned to Earth in pursuit of Jetstorm, Strongarm rolled out with the other Autobots to recapture Quillfire and Springload. {{storylink|One of Our Mini-Cons Is Missing}} After taking part in a training exercise against Sideswipe, Strongarm [[GroundBridge]]d to the ocean, where the Decepticon [[Octopunch (RID)|Octopunch]] was planning to steal an abandoned Cybertronian ship. Strongarm was taken out of the fight by an army of deployable Mini-Cons and locked in an empty room, where she couldn't contact her teammates. She managed to break out and escape before the ship self-destructed. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RID)|Deep Trouble}}

[[File:BuzzOnWindblade Strongarm points.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
When the gladiator [[Groundpounder (RID)|Groundpounder]] and his cheating manager [[Headlock]] debuted at the Crown City [[Rumbledome]], Strongarm and the other Autobots- minus Grimlock and Fixit- tried to GroundBridge into the city. Instead, they wound up in the Arctic, and then appeared outside the city limits, where they were held up by traffic while Grimlock fought Groundpounder. Strongarm arrived just in time to [[Stasis cuffs|stasis cuff]] the fleeing Headlock. {{storylink|The Champ}} Fixit's sentry programming asserted itself, causing Strongarm to be menaced by the scrapyard's various security systems. {{storylink|The Trouble with Fixit}} Strongarm helped set up a new rollercoaster that Denny purchased, but headed out with the team to investigate a Decepticon signal. The signal belonged to [[Kickback (RID)|Kickback]], who had been set up by Steeljaw as a distraction while the rest of his gang broke into the Autobot base and deactivated the other stasis pods. The Autobots managed to take back their territory and rout the Decepticons, and Strongarm helped to recontain Octopunch's tentacles. {{storylink|Lockout}}

The Autobots set out to capture [[Scowl (RID)|Scowl]], whom Grimlock had inadvertently befriended and set free. Strongarm helped to reroute a train that Scowl had derailed, then ran damage control at a local spa while Grimlock tried to recapture the vengeful Decepticon. {{storylink|Similarly Different}} Strongarm realized that many of the ''Alchemor'''s convicts were based off Earth animals, and began researching the dangers of Earth creatures. She was less than impressed by the newcomer [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] and was particularly irked by Windblade's cavalier attitude toward protocol. The disagreement boiled over when the Autobots set out in search of [[Zizza]], when Windblade revealed that she didn't care if humans were caught in the crossfire. The two Autobots eventually resolved their differences, and Strongarm's knowledge of Earth bees helped her bring in Zizza. {{storylink|The Buzz on Windblade}}

[[File:Battlegrounds2 Strongarm in armor.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Feeling homesick for Cybertron, Strongarm came along with the team on a "vacation" to [[Edmondville]]. Although the gang had fun scaring off a group of human tourists, things took a turn for the worse when they encountered [[Pseudo]], who locked Strongarm and the Mini-Cons in an old bank vault. Strongarm escaped by blasting a hole in the wall and tracked Pseudo to a nearby mine. After a brief chase, the Autobots managed to subdue the [[Shifter]].{{Storylink|Ghosts and Impostors}} On a training exercise with Sideswipe, both Autobots were ambushed by Decepticons; Strongarm managed to send a fragmentary transmission back to the base before she was captured by Fracture. The duo were later joined by Windblade, and all three of them were lashed to the [[Crown City Colossus]] while the Decepticons worked to summon [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}} With their ranks bolstered by a revived Optimus Prime, the three Autobots were freed and joined in the fight. Although Optimus faltered in his fight against Megatronus, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Strongarm were able to unlock the power of their Decepticon hunters and give themselves a power-up, allowing them to fire a sustained blast at Megatronus and vaporize him. With Steeljaw's gang almost entirely arrested, Strongarm opted to remain on Earth alongside her commander. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}}

While listening to Optimus's old war stories, Strongarm got into yet another fight with Sideswipe. Following a GroundBridge explosion, she helped clear up and along with Bumblebee and Grimlock, was defeated by Overload when the Decepticon arrived at the scrapyard. {{storylink|Overloaded, Part 1}} After tracking Overload to a parking lot, the team split up with Grimlock and Strongarm trying to track the Cyclone Mini-Cons. They soon realized they'd actually been tracking humans, but managed to maintain their cover. They caught up with Bumblebee in time to help take Overload back to base. {{storylink|Overloaded, Part 2}}

Missing the teamwork she had developed with Sideswipe, Strongarm attempted to establish a similar rapport with Grimlock, which mainly resulted in them bungling an attempt to capture [[Saberhorn]]. During the later fight at the steel mill, they were eventually able to work together enough to save Bumblebee from being melted down, though Saberhorn himself got away. {{storylink|Metal Meltdown}} When she accidentally endangered some motorists during the pursuit of [[Crazybolt (RID)|Crazybolt]] and [[Slicedice]], Strongarm became demoralized and turned in her Decepticon Hunter. After an attempt to get her to help Fixit backfired badly, she resigned herself to rusting in the corner, however a fire started by Crazybolt endangered some humans, and Bumblebee was able to spur her into returning to the field to save them. {{storylink|Suspended}}

Bumblebee, Strongarm, and Grimlock captured the Mini-Con [[Torpor]], though the mission was nearly botched when Grimlock stumbled in on the other two Autobots as they strategised, tipping their target off to their whereabouts. When Grimlock gained increased brainpower fom a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]], Strongarm and Bumblebee took him along on an attempt to capture [[Simacore]]. Though during the operation, she and Bumblebee were trapped against a particle accelerator and in danger of being particle collided, Fixit came up with a cure for Grimlock, and the Dinobot rescued them both. {{storylink|Brainpower}}

[[File:Misdirection-StrongarmvsSteeljaw.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

When a wounded Steeljaw turned up at the scrapyard, Bumblebee, Strongarm and Grimlock followed the trail of energon he'd left to a disused drive in. Following the arrival of [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]], Crazybolt and Slicedice, the Autobots discovered that Steeljaw had been feigning. Strongarm sped back to base where she confronted the Con, and though she was able to best him in combat and rescue Fixit, Denny and Russell, he managed to get away and had freed a bunch of prisoners. {{storylink|Misdirection}}

[[File:Impounded-Strongarmblasting.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

After weeks of hunting for leads to find the new group of Decepticons, Strongarm turned down the opportunity to stake out a [[Rear Axle]] concert in favor of brushing up on her regulations. When Bisk turned up at the concert, Bumblebee called her and Grimlock in as backup, however the pair were held up by traffic. {{storylink|Bumblebee's Night Off}} The Autobots tracked down the Decepticon [[Silverhound]] to a carnival, and engaged him in a nearby parking lot. After a brief struggle, during which Grimlock was tossed in the middle of a nearby crowd, Strongarm successfully captured the Alchemor escapee. She then covered for Grimlock, announcing on her speakers that he was part of an upcoming exhibit; "If Dinosaurs Could Talk." On their next mission, she and Bumblebee were stunned by Quillfire's quills and ended up in an impound lot, booted and dazed. Strongarm particularly objected to being held among "common criminals" in the lot. They had to be rescued by Denny and Russell, and with the help of Grimlock, now sporting a construction crane disguise for his dino mode, successfully captured Quillfire and his two new Mini-Con partners, [[Back]] and [[Forth]]. {{storylink|Impounded}}

After an incident with the GroundBridge brought [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] to Earth, Strongarm and Grimlock were knocked out by the Decepticon. They recovered, only to be warped away from the junkyard alongside [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] by a portal created by Soundwave. Working together, Strongarm and Grimlock were able to shut down Laserbeak, then rushed back to the rest of the team. They arrived just as Denny, Fixit, Russel, and Bumblebee managed to get Soundwave back into the [[shadowzone (dimension)|shadowzone]], and threw the Decepticon Mini-Con back into the other dimension after its master. {{storylink|Portals}} Strongarm was on a mission in an area that interfered with Fixit's communication equipment when Optimus Prime needed assistance defeating [[Stockade (RID)|Stockade]]'s troops. {{storylink|Graduation Exercises}}

After a chance encounter resulted in [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] joining the team, the Autobots got a lead to the location of the remaining Decepticons on Earth; [[Toolbox]], recent escapee from "Decepticon Island." The Autobots disguised Grimlock as a Decepticon, and used a ruse wherein the rest of the team posed as captives to infiltrate the crashed ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]],'' base to the Decepticons. Despite making good headway at first, Strongarm and the others were discovered by the Decepticon higher ups after an argument between Bumblebee and Optimus caused the mission to stall out. The Autobots then found themselves completely surrounded by Steeljaw's troops. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}}

Thanks to Windblade providing them with an impromptu distraction, the rest of the Autobots managed to make a break for it and slipped away from the Decepticons. They then split up into smaller teams, with Strongarm, Grimlock, and Sideswipe being sent off to try and free the Mini-Cons being held captive. They ended up in a communications room where they encountered Groundpounder and Thunderhoof. By kicking him while he was in mid-air, Strongarm put Sideswipe outside the range of one of Thunderhoof's seismic stomps, allowing him to get to a nearby monitor and transmit a disabling frequency. Holding onto consciousness for seconds longer than the Decepticons could, Strongarm's team managed to best their opponents. After using the communications equipment to free the Mini-Cons, the trio escaped the ship before the [[cryo-gas]] set up by Bumblebee bomb froze everyone aboard.

In the aftermath of the battle, several Autobots opted to return to Cybertron, as the current Decepticon crisis had been dealt with. Strongarm decided to instead stay on Earth, and help Bumblebee set up a permanent base of operations to more properly meet any future threats that might come to the planet. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}} When news of the Bee Team's exploits reached Cybertron, Strongarm became one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

Bumblebee took his team on a tour of interesting locations on Earth, culminating in them visiting the remains of [[Autobot Outpost Omega One]], only to find a strange bomb had been set up to detonate. Strongarm was paired with Grimlock when the team split up to search, only to have to leave him to go find Bumblebee after he stepped on a mine. On the way, she spotted that the bomb's explosion was imminent, and ended up having to alert Bumblebee to that fact as well. {{storylink|History Lessons}}

[[File:StrongarmsBigScore Strongarm post arrest.jpg|thumb|left|270px]]
After a training exercise went awry, Strongarm was surprised to find she had the lowest of the [[PASERQuAT]] scores Fixit had prepared. She insisted on taking him on her next mission to improve her score, and as a result he accompanied her to [[Mount St. Hilary]], where the pair found [[Scatterspike]] and [[Sawtooth (RID)|Sawtooth]] engaged in a drilling operation that threatened to cause the volcano to erupt. After capturing Scatterspike in a fight that spilled out into a nearby [[Star Visitor Estates|human settlement]], Strongarm successfully prevented the volcano from exploding, and Fixit raised her score by a point and a half. In return, she prepared a score for him, but wouldn't tell him what it was. {{storylink|Strongarm's Big Score}}

Drift and Strongarm checked out the Great Wall of China as the searching of Cybertronian sites continued. When they later joined Grimlock after the Dinobot encountered Thermidor and Tricerashot, Strongarm joined in the pursuit, however her attempt to cooperate with Sideswipe ended up with them both crashing. {{storylink|Pretzel Logic}}

Team Bee retrieved a [[high energy pulse generator]] from [[Egypt]], only to have to destroy it when it threatened to fry their brains. Following an invasion of the scrapyard by the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, the team lost both their own Mini-Cons and their leader, after they were abducted by [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Mighty Big Trouble}} Joined by Optimus, the team split up to search for Starscream. Sideswipe and Strongarm stumbled on the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, and the initial hostilities were brought to an end when the Mini-Cons recognized the Prime. A short time later, they ran into the Scavengers, and during the fight, Strongarm linked with Sawtooth to great effect, until the Weaponizer Mini-Cons were captured by Starscream. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}} The Scavengers defeated, Strongarm and the rest of the team located Starscream's ship, and during the ensuing battle with the Decepticons, they were knocked out by Starscream. They eventually managed to defeat Starscream, despite him successfully merging with the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, by dragging him down into range of Fixit's signal so he could be de-merged. After farewelling Optimus and the Mini-Cons, Team Bee split up to search more Cybertronian sites. {{storylink|Worthy}}

[[File:KingOfTheHill2 Strongarm reigns in Sideswipe.jpg|right|thumb|260px]]
After a period of downtime, Strongarm and Sideswipe were sent to investigate a Decepticon signal. After attempting to capture [[Heatseeker]] themselves, Strongarm opted to call in the rest of the team when the [[Stunticon (Prime)|Stunticon]] endangered a nuclear waste disposal site. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 1)}} The pair were assigned the task of getting a [[hermit]] to vacate the danger zone, which they accomplished before rejoining the rest of the team. An explosion resulted in the entire team being merged into [[Ultra Bee|one robot]] while unconscious and ultimately Heatseeker got away. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 2)}}

The Autobots' next mission took them to [[Antarctica]], where they had to recapture [[Crustacion]] after the Decepticon was freed from one of Windblade's caches. Strongarm and Sideswipe worked to rescue the humans at a base while the rest of the team caught the Con. {{Storylink|Defrosted}} When a stricken plane endangered another cache, the team were joined by [[Rescue Bot]] [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]], whose personality was a little too similar to Sideswipe's for Strongarm's linking. The team had to track down [[Ragebyte]] and ensure he didn't blow up [[Crown City Bridge]]. {{storylink|Blurred}}

Strongarm, along with the rest of the team, found herself unable to resist the [[Sphere of Doradus]] thanks to the energies it was giving off. The team were eventually able to resist its effects long enough to capture Springload. {{storylink|Sphere of Influence}} She and Bumblebee went to retrieve a Decepticon Hunter from one of Windblade's caches, only to have to call in the rest of the team when they encountered [[Dragstrip (WFC)|Drag Strip]] and [[Wildbreak]]. {{storylink|Bee Cool}}

[[File:TRID S3 E8 GAC MSS.jpg|left|thumb|300px]]
After a methane explosion occurred during an attempt to capture Drag Strip, the team found themselves merged into one robot. In the aftermath, they ended up with two Sideswipes, something Strongarm had had nightmares about, and she ended up having to work with them as the team retrieved the relic Drag Strip had stolen. {{storylink|The Great Divide}} Strongarm drew on Dropforge's teachings in order to solve the mystery of some Decepticon burglaries, which led the Autobots to catch [[Boostwing]]. She wasn't quite satisfied with the resolution to the case, which led her and Russell to track down Boostwing's brothers [[Pilfer]] and [[Jacknab]], who had also been stealing things in Crown City. {{storylink|Get a Clue}}

When Drift's old mentor [[Shadow Raker]] showed up on Earth, Strongarm and the team helped Drift recover his Mini-Con students after the Decepticon kidnapped them. {{storylink|Out of the Shadows}} Another of Fixit's combiner experiments led to the Autobots temporarily switching bodies. Strongarm was thrilled to be Bumblebee, and even more so when she was put in charge of the subsequent road race mission to defeat the Stunticons, though she found she had difficulty getting the rest of the team to follow her orders. {{storylink|Disordered Personalities}}

When Nightra turned up, Strongarm bought her story about being a bounty hunter on the run from a Con she'd previously caught, and when the Con in question abducted Nightra, Strongarm brought the rest of the Bee Team to rescue her. Unfortunately it turned out the "Con" was actually the Autobot bounty hunter [[Blastwave]] and Strongarm had to arrest her former friend as a criminal. {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}} Strongarm had to put up with Grimlock becoming an artist and making terrible sculptures of her. {{storylink|The Golden Knight}}

[[File:RiD2015 - Combine and Conquer - Reaction Faces.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Discussion subject: following Da Rulz.]]
Grimlock developed super speed as the result of one of Fixit's experiments, forcing the team to have to deal with him at the same time as they fought Simacore and his army of [[Mini-Clones|cloned Mini-Cons]]. {{storylink|The Fastest Bot Alive!}} During a mission to prevent the Stunticons from stealing the power source of a maglev train, Strongarm lost her Decepticon Hunter — part of a series of thefts of the weapons by some mysterious Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Railroad Rage}}

Strongarm was initially overjoyed when Bumblebee announced new strict discipline as they hunted the Stunticons, however it soon became apparent he was being too strict even for her, and she had to talk him into toning it down. The team managed to combine into their Ultra Bee form without the aid of Fixit's equipment and fought Menasor. {{storylink|Combine and Conquer}} When Optimus visited to recruit Drift for a mission, Strongarm and Sideswipe started competing to prove they were worthy of going instead. A call from Windblade sent the team to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], where they succeeded in preventing the Stunticons from accessing a cache, and defeated the Decepticon team once and for all. Optimus later told the pair he didn't want to deprive Bumblebee of their skills. {{storylink|Moon Breaker}}

A sudden assault on the scrapyard, forced the Autobots to abandon base and hole up in the nearby caves. They tracked the Decepticon culprits to the Crown River Dam and discovered Steeljaw and his pack were back to make problems for them. {{storylink|Exiles}} When Sideswipe left the cave despite Bumblebee's orders to stay put, Strongarm gave chase and the pair were trapped in a cargo container together by Clampdown. They eventually managed to get free and help Bumblebee, whom the 'Cons had also captured, get some payback on their captors. {{storylink|Breathing Room}}

[[File:FreedomFighters Strongarm salutes.jpg|thumb|left|270px]]
The team tangled with the Decepticons again, this time interrupting them while they were trying to steal nuclear waste. {{storylink|Prepare for Departure}} Strongarm found herself having trouble reconciling adhering to the [[Kaon Conventions]] with the need to capture Steeljaw's pack, and ended up hauling Clampdown around handcuffed to herself. In the end, they captured most of the pack. {{storylink|Prisoner Principles}} The team was joined by Optimus Prime as they defeated Soundwave and prevented the Decepticon from irradiating the entire planet. {{storylink|Collateral Damage}}

Strongarm got respite from having to tow Grimlock's trailer when Bumblebee decided to prove he could do the "grunt work" he was always asking his team to do. She and the rest of the team were forced to recapture Underbite when the Decepticons escaped. {{storylink|Something He Ate}} An attack by [[Wingcode]] left Bumblebee, Strongarm and Sideswipe incapacitated and slowly deteriorating until Grimlock and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] managed to capture the Decepticon so Fixit could create a cure. {{storylink|Sick as a Bot}} Strongarm was reunited with Dropforge during the pursuit of Steeljaw, only for her old instructor to lock the team up. She was able act on a hunch and prove Dropforge was under the influence of a mind control signal from Cybertron, using Steeljaw's tech to free him of its influence. {{storylink|Five Fugitives}}

A visit by Optimus sent the Bee Team to Cybertron in ''[[Prime Force One]]'', where after evading the planetary defenses, they landed and were immediately surrounded by security. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}} With the help of Dropforge and Steeljaw, the team managed to gain entry to the [[High Council Tower]]. Discovering that the council were actually disguised Decepticons led by [[Cyclonus (WFC)|Cyclonus]], the team merged into Ultra Bee to combat the Decepticons' own combined form while Fixit disabled the Decepticon mind control. A protracted battle followed, but the Autobots prevailed, and in the aftermath, Optimus assigned the Bee Team as ambassadors to Earth. The team returned to the planet they now regarded as home, and found themselves again pursuing Steeljaw. {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}}

Strongarm and Grimlock checked on a stasis pod, only to find it empty. After they tracked the Decepticon fruitlessly for some time, Bumblebee arrived to point them in the direction of the [[Fun-A-Rama]] amusement park, where the team found and captured [[Flamefeather (RID)|Flamefeather]]. {{storylink|Fire, When Ready!}} During a training exercise, Strongarm mainly squabbled Sideswipe, resulting in the team's defeat. The pair were sent to investigate activity, but proved unable to capture [[Spinhead]] and had to return to the scrapyard empty handed. Fortunately Bumblebee came up with a plan and the whole team managed to defeat the Decepticon. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 1|Robots in Disguise #1}}

Strongarm took part in the capture of [[Transit (RID)|Transit]]. During a visit by [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]]'s team, Strongarm got to meet [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and was disguised as the Decepticon [[Retrofit]] in an attempt to capture [[Clipshade]]. She was unfortunately rumbled, but Clipshade was captured anyway. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 2|Robots in Disguise #2}}

After establishing the location of [[Overhead]], Strongarm and the rest of the team managed to take the Decepticon down. After Overhead gave them a distress beacon she claimed would bring the leader of the [[Cybercomrade Sect]] she belonged to, Strongarm was left to guard her while Bumblebee and Grimlock set a trap. Unfortunately Overhead was the real sect leader, and overpowered Strongarm before escaping. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 3|Robots in Disguise #3}}

Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus making up took longer than Strongarm had expected, but the Autobots soon made amends and, through her Croctobot lackeys, tracked Overhead to an abandoned petrosynthesis chemical plant. They tripped a silent alarm, however, giving Overhead time to hide and jump an unsuspecting Strongarm, but Strongarm broke out of her headlock by flipping Overhead overhead and soon after saved Arcee from a nasty hit. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 4|Robots in Disguise #4}}

Following the defeat of Megatronus, Strongarm and the rest of Team Bee were lured to [[Fort Tucker]] as a distraction while Steeljaw and [[Steve (Vehicon)|Steve]] abducted Fixit and Russell from the scrapyard. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 5|Robots in Disguise #5}} Returning to base, the team found empty stasis pods and the computer trashed, and were forced to resort to their own wits to work out where Steeljaw was. They to successfully located the cave in question, rescuing Fixit and Russell before engaging Steeljaw's crew. Strongarm managed to deal Thunderhoof a decent blow before she was hit by a Vehicon. Eventually the three Vehicons realized that Steeljaw was not part of Megatron's command, and in the aftermath Team Bee was left with the majority of Steeljaw's team as prisoners. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 6|Robots in Disguise #6}}

===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' books===
When the Autobots detected [[Scuzzard]] on the loose, Strongarm, Bumblebee, and Sideswipe managed to lure the Decepticon into a trap, though things got hairy for Strongarm for a while. The Decepticon was snatched from them by the newly-escaped Filch, and the Autobots were forced to track down and capture both of the birdbots. {{storylink|Bumblebee Versus Scuzzard}} Detecting Autobots signals at the docks, the Autobots stumbled on a fight between Underbite, Thunderhoof, and [[Slink]]'s gang. Strongarm managed to tie up [[Sneak]] before having to help Sideswipe in his fight against Thunderhoof. She later netted Slink and [[Snitch (RID)|Snitch]] as the Autobots captured Slink's gang. {{storylink|Sideswipe Versus Thunderhoof}}

After the team captured [[Forager]] who appeared to rescue Drift, throwing doubt on the Autobot's motives, Strongarm played it cautiously, worried that Drift would team up with the Decepticons. She and the rest of the team were captured a short time later when [[Foxtrot]] and [[Stilts]] took over the scrapyard and put the team in stasis pods. The team was eventually freed with Drift's help, and turned the tables on the Decepticons. {{storylink|Drift's Samurai Showdown}}

Bumblebee attempted to get Strongarm to loosen up by joining the others in a game of football. She and the rest of the team took on [[Skinkbomb]], only to find the Decepticon's explosives formidable, and the fight was lost when Bumblebee became distracted. Though the team thought Bumblebee might be suffering from brain rust, the next time they faced Skinkbomb, they all heard the illusionary Optimus Prime's voice and were all able to overcome the Decepticon regardless. {{storylink|The Trials of Optimus Prime}}

Strongarm, Bumblebee and Grimlock attempted to arrest the Decepticon [[Brakepad]], only to fall foul of his lethargy-inducing powers. After they returned to the scrapyard empty-handed, Denny and Russell had to force them to go back out into the field and capture Brakepad. {{Storylink|Autobot World Tour}}

*'''Strongarm''' (Legion Class, [[2015]])

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Legion figures, Strongarm transforms into a police SUV. In robot mode, her fists are compatible with 3mm-peg weapons, although she does not come with any herself. Her head is sculpted with her [[mouthplate|battle mask]] deployed.

:Her scannable Autobot [[insignia]] is on her driver's-side door in vehicle mode, becoming her left arm in robot mode. This badge is accessible while she is still in-package.

:Although her kneecaps were painted blue in the initial stock photos, the final product leaves them bare as the thighs are made from [[unpaintable plastic]]. She also features different paint details on her face compared to the final product. The instructions also tell you to rearrange the arm kibble before you fold the legs up in vehicle mode. It's recommended to do it the other way 'round.

: This mold was also used to make [[Ratchet (WFC)#RIDLegion|''Robots in Disguise'' Ratchet]].

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TAV34'''

:Available only in this four-pack, this version of Strongarm is a redeco of the original Legion Class Strongarm toy, replacing her blue plastics with white, and giving her a ''ton'' of new [[paint operation]]s to make for an amazingly show-accurate toy at such a small scale...even though they forgot the side-windows.

:This toy lacks a scan-badge sticker, unlike virtually all of the ''Robots in Disguise/Adventure'' products. Instead its scan-badge is printed on a single collector's card that also features the badges for the other three figures in the set.

:Like the rest of the ''Adventure'' EZ Collection sets, some online retailers like Amazon Japan were still selling it 2 years later at greatly reduced prices (70% off).

:Strongarm was released as a four-pack along with [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#TAV34|Bumblebee]], [[Sideswipe (RID)#TAV34|Sideswipe]], and [[The Fallen/toys#TAV34|Megatronus]].

:Part of the third wave of Mini-Con/armor two-packs, and the first wave with the new "Mini-Con Weaponizers" branding, this version of Strongarm is slightly smaller than her Warrior-class toy (putting her more in show-like scale with the Warrior Decepticons) and with a slightly simpler transformation. She comes with multiple clear-plastic armor pieces that can attach to her robot mode. Unlike prior waves, these pieces do not form a separate super-weapon, but instead attach to her pack-in partner [[Sawtooth (RID)|Sawtooth]] in either robot or weapon mode.

:The TakaraTomy release of this set gives Strongarm a considerable amount of paint on her torso and head, and more paint detailing on her vehicle mode front end.

:Part of the first wave of [[One-Step Changer]]s, Strongarm transforms from robot to police SUV in a single step: folding down her vehicle-mode hood and truck bed unfolds and spins around her robot mode from the cab area. In robot mode, she has extremely limited posability, with just shoulder-swivels and some extra outward-swing thanks to her transformation. Her fists have [[5mm post]]-compatible holes. Due to how the legs are molded, Strongarm cannot ride on [[Grimlock_(RID_2015)#Stomp_.26_Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]].

:Her scannable Autobot [[insignia]] is on her right shoulder in robot mode. As it's on a folded-up robot bit and she's packaged in vehicle mode, there's no way to scan this while she is still in-package.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Adventure'' release of "Easy Dynamic" Strongarm was released as the only ED figure in the series' fifth wave of product. It features an extensive amount of paint applications for greater show-accuracy, though they missed her hands, waist, and feet.

This Strongarm cannot ride on [[Grimlock_(RID_2015)#Stomp_.26_Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]].

:In the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], it was identified alternatively as an "Advanced One-Step" or "Evolved One-Step" figure depending on the user's region, but on the toy's packaging, no such modifiers are featured, and it is available as part of the regular One-Step Changer assortment.

[[File:Adventuretoy-Strongarm.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|''(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)'']]
*'''Strongarm''' (Warrior Class, 2014/2015)
**''Japanese release date'': '''2015-[[March 21|03-21]]'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''TAV03'''
**''Accessories:'' Rifle

:Part of the first wave of Hasbro's Warrior-class figures, Strongarm transforms into a police SUV of made-up model. This larger, more complex and poseable version of the character includes a rifle accessory (with an odd permanent "blast effect" on the barrel-tip), which can be mounted using 5mm ports in both robot and vehicle mode. Like so many toys, her head is designed with a [[light-piping]] [[gimmick]] that's rendered moot by both opaque plastic and painted optics.

:Her scannable Autobot [[insignia]] is on her robot-mode right chestplate. As she's packaged in robot mode, this badge is easily scannable on-card without purchase.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Adventure'' version of this toy (sold in the first wave of product) uses a deeper shade of blue, as well as having more complicated [[paint operation]]s. In vehicle mode she has a silver grill and blue striping on her hood, as well as more complicated striping on her side-panels. In robot mode, rather than having the solid-blue chestplate and helmet, she has much more show-accurate white-and-blue striping. Her scan-badge is also different, used in TakaraTomy's ''Transformers Chronicle'' app, though in-package it's covered by a dummy sticker to prevent pre-purchase scanning.

:This mold was also used to make [[Greejeeber]], and retooled differently into [[Ratchet (WFC)#Robots in Disguise (2015)|Ratchet]]. In 2017, the original figure eventually made a comeback in the 10th wave of the Warrior Class line with the "Combiner Force" packaging. Her scannable sticker is also altered, but scanning the badge only unlocks Energon currency, but not the character.

*'''Strongarm vs Phantomjaw''' (Vs set, 2015)
**''Release date'': '''2015-[[June 27|06-27]]'''
**''ID number:'' '''TAVVS03'''
**''Accessories:'' Rifle

: Strongarm was also released in a TakaraTomy "VS" two-pack, pitting her against fellow police-vehicle [[Phantomjaw]]. This release of Strongarm is physically identical to her individual release.

====Crash Combiners====
{{anchor|CrashCombiners}}
* '''Strongarm and Optimus Prime''' (Crash Combiners, 2016/2017)
:Part of the first wave of the ''Combiner Force'' subline, Strongarm is a roughly Legion-class sized figure with a ''very'' basic transformation: flip the head out of the chest and move the arms and legs to the side slightly. Strongarm can form the legs of any Crash Combiner, nominally with the included Optimus Prime. She features no useful articulation to speak of. A [[5mm post]] hole on top of her vehicle mode can accommodate a compatible accessory or Weaponizer Minicon, though individually she cannot use it in robot mode.

:The instruction sheet amusingly replaces Optimus's last picture in the transformation process with that of [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]].

* '''Lunar Force Strongarm and Optimus Prime''' (Crash Combiners, 2017)
:This Strongarm is a Blizzard-ish redeco (also shared with Optimus Prime) of the figure above.

====Activator Combiners====
[[File:TF-RID2015-Activator-Combiners-Strongarm.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Strongarm & Trickout''' (Activator Combiner, 2017)

:Part of the first wave of Activator Combiners, Strongarm is a larger-but-simpler-than-Warrior figure that transforms into her usual patrol truck mode. Plugging an Activator Mini-Con, such as her pack-in partner [[Trickout]], onto her vehicle-mode lightbar activates "Throttle Up" mode, opening her front side-panels and popping her wheels down for a more monster-truck-like vehicle mode. This mode can also be triggered without a Mini-Con by pushing the black button behind the lightbar.

====Team Combiners====
[[File:TF-RID2015-Team-Combiner-Strongarm.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Ultra Bee''' (Team Combiner, 2017)

:Released as part of the [[Ultra Bee]] set, Strongarm transforms from robot to vehicle in just 1 step, and combines with Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Grimlock to form Ultra Bee. As a Team Combiner limb, Strongarm can swap any right arm of any other Team Combiners.

:Each toy uses the same universal combination joint as the other Team Combiners and the [[Crash Combiner]]s, which can lead to some... ''interesting'' combinations, given that most robots form very specific body parts when combined. Mixing Crash Combiners with Team Combiners leads to some ''especially'' weird results.
{{-}}

===Kre-O===
[[File:KreO-toy Strongarm.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Strongarm Capture Cruiser''' (2015)
**''Set Number'': '''B1549'''
**''Pieces'': '''105'''
**''Kreons'': Strongarm, [[Springload (RID)#Kre-O|Springload]]
**''Accessories'': Crossbow

: Only available in the "Strongarm Capture Cruiser" set, this Strongarm Kreon uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. She also comes with a buildable [[Capture Cruiser]] vehicle modeled vaguely after her.

: While the Kreon itself does not have a scannable badge, the set's [[instructions|instruction booklet]] has a unique scan-badge that rewards the player with a Strongarm Kreon item.

:All of the 2015 ''Transformers [[Kre-O]]'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set... although Strongarm and [[Sideswipe (RID)#Kre-O|Sideswipe]]'s sets turned up in considerably smaller numbers than the others.

===''Hero Mashers''===
{{anchor|HeroMashers}}
[[File:Hero-Mashers-RID2015-Strongarm.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|You're looking...robust, ma'am!]]
*'''Strongarm''' (2015)
**''Pieces'': '''9'''
**''Accessories'': Crossbow

:Part of the fourth wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' —and the second of the ''Robots in Disguise''-themed product— Strongarm is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. She has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

:She is designed with a removable head, forearms, upper legs, and boots, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means her pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: The ''Robots in Disguise''-branded Hero Mashers were not released in the U.S., seeing release mostly in European and Australian markets.

==Merchandise==

===''Tiny Titans''===
{{anchor|TinyTitan}}
*'''Strongarm''' (Tiny Titans, 2015)
**''Series'': '''1'''
**''Number'': '''3/12'''

:Part of the initial assortment of ''[[Tiny Titans]]'', this version of Strongarm is a very small, minimally-painted soft-plastic figure of her in robot mode, sporting a battle-ready boxing stance.

:Sold in a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] baggie (though there is a tiny window on the back to peek in and see what's inside), she comes with a collectible card with a scan-badge for the mobile game, which unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item.

*'''Strongarm''' (Tiny Titans, 2016)
**''Series'': '''5'''
**''Number'': '''6/12'''

:Part of the fifth assortment, the second ''Tiny Titans'' Strongarm has her carrying a triple-barreled blaster. Sold in a blindpacked baggie (though there is a tiny window on the back to peek in and see what's inside), she comes with a collectible card with a scan-badge for the mobile game, which unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item.

:This assortment saw minimal-at-best distribution at "big box" retail, most reliably hitting through online outlets.

{{-}}

===''Radz''===
{{anchor|Radz}}
*'''Strong Arm'''{{sic}} (Radz candy dispenser, 2015)
**''Blindbag code'': '''F'''

: The [[Radz]] candy-dispenser version of Strongarm is a plastic sphereoid with feet, spiky "hair", and a keychain fob. Pulling the hair back opens the toy's "mouth" and projects a little bowl-like tongue, dispensing a single colored sugar pellet. The hair can be taken off to refill the dispenser, and swapped with any other Radz.

:Strongarm was available only in a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] baggie, though the bag has a code number on the back under the "best by" date that tells you what's inside (only the last letter is the important part). She comes with a bag of sugar pellets, and a mini-poster with a collection checklist on the back.

===McDonald's===
*'''Strongarm Vision Mask / Strongarm Mask''' (2016 / 2017)
**''McNumber'': '''6''' (US only)

:Part of the third [[McDonald's]] Happy Meal promotion for ''Robots in Disguise'' in the US (fifth globally), this Strongarm mask is unique among the Happy Meal masks in that it adds a movable clear-red viewfinder that can drop down over either eye, letting the wearer "scan" stuff in the style of the old [[Tech Spec]] decoders.

: Scanning the figure into the "McPlay" app opens up some ''Transformers / My Little Pony'' activities.

: This set of masks was first released in Asian markets in early 2016. In October 2017, the four masks were matched with four figures from the early-2017 non-US promo and finally released in the US in a joint promotion with ''My Little Pony''.

{{anchor|McFigure}}
*'''Strongarm / Strongarm Figure''' (2017)
**''McNumber'': '''5''' (US only)
**''Accessories'': Missile launcher, missile

:Part of the fourth McDonald's Happy Meal promotion for ''Robots in Disguise'' in the US (fifth globally), this Strongarm is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming action figure with articulation at the neck and shoulders. Her oversized missile launcher accessory uses a [[5mm post]], making her compatible with most other "modern" ''Transformers'' accessories.

: Scanning the figure into the "McPlay" mobile app opens up some ''Transformers / My Little Pony'' activities.

: This set of toys was first released in European markets in early 2017. In October 2017, four of the five figures were matched with the masks from the 2016 non-US promo and finally released in the US in a joint promotion with ''My Little Pony''.

===Surprise Drinks===
[[File:TF-RID2015-Surprise-Drinks-Strongarm.jpg|250px|thumb|At nearly $2 a 10oz bottle... yyyeah.]]
*'''Strongarm''' (2016)

: The ''Transformers: Robots in Disguise'' "[[Surprise Drinks]]" bottles come with two different Strongarm toys: a show-accurate 1.5-inch non-transforming soft-plastic figurine, or a similarly-sized pencil-topper of her head. These toys are hidden inside the capsule attached to the bottle by the wrapper. These are randomly blindpacked and do ''not'' correlate with who's on the wrapper, and there's no codes, so... good luck.
{{-}}

===Kinder Surprise===
*'''Transformers: Robots in Disguise''' (2015)
:Only available inside a blindpacked chocolate egg as part of Kinder's ''Transformers: Robots in Disguise'' series, this buildable Strongarm mini-figure consists of a generic "cog" onto which her limbs and armor can be clipped to construct her. She has articulation on her shoulders and upper legs.
{{-}}

==Notes==
[[File:Strongarm Adventure Dancing Queen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
* While Strongarm's midriff and upper legs are actually dark gray (with light gray and white panels), none of her toys get the color right.
* The end credits sequence for ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)#Japanese release|Adventure]]'' proves Strongarm's got some moves on the dance floor.
* The [[Flock]] member [[Matilda]] takes on Strongarm's form in ''[[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]]''.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Strongarm''' (ストロングアーム ''Sutoronguāmu'')
*''Mandarin:'' '''Tiěwàn''' (Mainland China, 铁腕, "Iron Arm")

:''Star Saber is an [[Autobot]] [[Brainmaster]] from the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[File:G1 Star Saber art variant.jpg|325px|thumb|Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs!]]
Famed throughout the length and breadth of the cosmos as the greatest swordsman in the universe, the heroic '''Star Saber''' (スターセイバー ''Sutā Seibā'') has ascended from humble beginnings to the lofty position of [[Supreme Commander]] of the [[Autobot]]s and head of the interplanetary [[Galactic Peace Alliance|Galactic Defense Force]]. Protector of the weak, defender of the defenceless and lover of life in all its forms, Star Saber's heart [[Burning justice|burns]] with an unending passion for justice and peace unequalled by any other, which drives him to quash evil wherever he finds it, with a cry of "Let's say go!"<ref>"Let's say go" is a Japanese language pun, as it is written with the English word, "Let's", and the Japanese word "seigō" (整合), meaning "coordinate" or "integrate" (as seen in print in "[[Shine! The Five Stars of Victory]]"). As such, it's hard to preserve the pun in translation, so the official DVD releases of the series by [[Metrodome]] and [[Madman Entertainment]] didn't bother, rendering the phrase simply as "Let's say go".</ref> This idealism is perhaps best evidenced in his adoption of the orphaned human child, [[Jan Minakaze]], as his own son, for whom he cares deeply.

Star Saber is a member of the powerful sub-group known as the [[Brainmaster]]s, who possess incredible courage, strength, skill and intelligence. Star Saber exemplifies courage in particular: his smallest robot form is the '''Brain of Courage''' (勇気のブレイン ''Yūki no Brain''), which connects to a [[Transtector]] to become the robot known as '''Saber''' (セイバー ''Seibā''). In either robot or jet mode, Saber connects to the mobile battle platform named the [[V-Star]] with a cry of "Battle Up!" to become Star Saber. Furthermore, in either mode, Star Saber is capable of linking up with his team-mate [[Victory Leo]] to become '''Victory Saber''' (ビクトリーセイバー ''Bikutorī Seibā''). In this form, Star Saber's speed and power are greatly enhanced, but at times, Victory Leo's savage personality can override his calm and collected nature.

In one universe, Star Saber is less "knight in shining armor" and more "knight templar".

As a child, Star Saber was a paragon of good behaviour. He was never greedy, so he never had to sneak food, and he never once wet the bed and got scolded for it. He was, however, still a fun-loving kid, who would zoom around on a skateboard while wearing his bedsheet as a cape.<ref>This description of Star Saber's childhood comes from the lyrics of ''Victory''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s closing [[theme song|theme tune]], "[[Cybertron Banzai]]". While the very notion of Transformers having a childhood that they actually physically grow out of is rather bizarre, resulting in the temptation to not consider the song "canon", the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (manga)|Victory]]'' manga ''also'' depicts Star Saber as a child, in an actual, in-story flashback. So if it can happen in the comics, there's really no reason to think that it can't also have been the case in the cartoon.</ref>

Around 500,000 years ago, when Star Saber was a commander in the Autobot army, the powerful [[Decepticon]] warrior [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] threatened the galaxy with his colossal [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. Star Saber led a garrison of Autobots in an assault against the fortress, and battled Deathsaurus personally while his troops planted gravity boosters on the fortress's surface. The boosters de-energized the fortress and trapped it in a gravity cell at the heart of the [[Dark Nebula]], forever earning Star Saber the enmity of Deathsaurus. {{storylink|Resurrection!? The Decepticon Fortress}}

[[File:Starsaber and jean.jpg|215px|thumb|That's where I saw the leprechaun. He told me to burn things.]]
Several years before [[2025]], Star Saber was appointed Supreme Commander of the Autobots, and consulted his friend, [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]], on whether or not he should take the job. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}} Star Saber accepted the role, and by extension, became head of the [[Galactic Peace Alliance]]'s Galactic Defense Force, dedicated to protecting planets all throughout the galaxy from the renewed threat of the Decepticons under the command of Deathsaurus, who had succeeded in his quest to become [[Emperor of Destruction]]. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}} In one of these attacks, a [[human]] spacecraft was destroyed by the [[Dinoforce]], killing all on board, save for a baby that had been placed in an escape pod. Star Saber recovered the child, [[Jan Minakaze]], and adopted him as his own son. {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}}

[[File:Starsaber vehiclemode.jpg|left|215px|thumb|[[Steve Blum|Spike Spiegel's]] weekend ride.]]
In 2025, Deathsaurus's attacks on Earth's sector of space intensified, leading Star Saber to make preparations to leave the Autobots' base on [[Victory (planet)|Planet V]] and personally take command of the defense force unit stationed in Earth's sector. After saving the small frontier community of [[Iron Town]] from a pair of [[Decepticon desperadoes]], Star Saber returned to base to a report of an attack by the Dinoforce on the [[Lunar Base (Victory)|Lunar Base]] on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] and immediately headed to the scene. As he drew close to the moon, Deathsaurus appeared to bar his way, and the two old foes battled while [[Blacker]], [[Braver]] and [[Laster]] clashed with the Dinoforce. Star Saber broke the fight off when Jan alerted him to the worsening battle on the moon's surface, and he proceeded to dispatch the Dinoforce with ease before Deathsaurus caught up to him and their battle continued. Battling his way through Deathsaurus's [[Breast Animal]]s, Star Saber emerged victorious, and the Decepticons fled. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}} The Autobots proceeded to transport the human staff of the damaged Lunar Base back to Earth aboard their [[Rocket Base|Shuttle Base]], but when they came under attack from the Dinoforce again, Star Saber split himself into Saber and the V-Star to defeat their combined robot form of [[Dinoking]]. {{storylink|Sneak Attack! Dinoking}}

[[File:Saber and vstar.jpg|215px|thumb|Anakin built it in a junk yard in a desert.]]
Operating out of the Shuttle Base, Star Saber's Autobots took Earth as a second home of sorts, and staged all their operations from there. Star Saber enrolled Jan at school, flying him there personally for his first day and giving the [[Mabel (Victory)|headmistress]] quite a shock. Unfortunately for everyone, Star Saber's presence at the school attracted the attention of the Decepticon [[Breastforce]]r [[Leozack]], who put the student body in mortal danger when he attacked. Star Saber separated from the V-Star and had Jan use it to carry the students to safety while he tackled Leozack and the Dinoforce. When the students were safe, Saber recombined with the V-Star, and defeated Leozack and Dinoking with the aid of [[Road Caesar]]. {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}}

[[File:Starsaber vs dinoking.jpg|left|215px|thumb|And now we know what killed the dinosaurs.]]
Star Saber later battled Dinoking again at an energy plant, this time with the aid of [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]], {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}} then went up against Leozack once more at the Ocean Exhibition amusement park, {{storylink|Move Out! Rescue Team}} before battling both opponents yet again at a uranium mine. {{storylink|Infiltration... The Uranium Mine}} Later, when Blacker and the [[Multiforce]] investigated a Decepticon energy base in the Amazon jungle, Star Saber became concerned when he was unable to contact them, and sped to their aid, helping them to dispatch the villains. {{storylink|Explosion!! The Energy Base}}

[[File:Starsaber vs breastanimals.jpg|215px|thumb|This is why you don't get out of the car in a safari park.]]
When the Breastforce began draining electrical energy from a major American subway system, Star Saber proved too large to venture into the tunnels to investigate, and had to divide into Saber and the V-Star to proceed. Investigating the power distribution centre, Saber was confronted by Deathsaurus, and in the cramped quarters of the building, proved to be no match for the villain's nimble Breast Animals. Directing the V-Star to crash into Deathsaurus, Saber forced the Decepticon to block the craft, thereby leaving his unprotected chest open for attack and allowing Saber to impale him with his sword. Thus wounded, Deathsaurus fled, leaving Saber victorious once more. {{storylink|Big City - Underground Terror}}

[[File:Saber robotmode.jpg|left|215px|thumb|Behold! Galva—wait, no.]]
When Leozack called in his newest Breastforce recruit [[Hellbat (Victory)|Hellbat]], Star Saber went up against the pair several times, joining the other Autobots in battling through Hellbat's hypnotic waves, {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}} and splitting into Saber and the V-Star to take on the two at once when they stole energy from a Nevada spaceport. {{storylink|Attack the Shuttle Base!!}} Star Saber later joined with the Brainmasters in saving [[Marine City]] from the threat of a neutron bomb, giving Blacker the V-Star so he could search for the bomb while he battled Leozack as Saber. {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation}} Later, while Star Saber was busy leading the Autobots in an attack against Leozack and most of the Breastforce, Hellbat kidnapped Jan and [[Holi]]. Jan proved resourceful enough to escape his cell and contact Star Saber, who came to his rescue, defeating Dinoking by collapsing a mountain on him. {{storylink|Rescue Jan!!}} Not long after, Star Saber and the Multiforce thwarted a Decepticon hydroelectric power-gathering scheme. {{storylink|Mach and Tackle}}

The strange disappearance of several spaceships while passing through the asteroid belt led Star Saber to investigate, disguising himself as an ordinary spacecraft with a large exoskeleton. Venturing into the asteroid belt, Star Saber discovered that the vanishing ships were the work of the Decepticons when the villains caught him in a tractor beam. Luckily, he avoided detection long enough to summon the other Autobots to his location, and bested the Breastforce single-handed in the ensuing battle. {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid}}

[[File:Starsaber vs liokaiser.jpg|215px|thumb|Do I hear a banjo?]]
When the occupied God Ginrai was unable to respond to an attack by Hellbat and [[Black Shadow (Victory)|two]] [[Blue Bacchus|mercenaries]] in his employ on the planet [[Micro]], Star Saber was forced to travel to the planet to investigate. With the aid of [[Greatshot]], Star Saber defeated the villains, but had pushed his strength to its limit to wrench an overloading power plant from its moorings with his bare hands and fly it into space to prevent the devastation its explosion would have caused. {{storylink|Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior|Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior}} Soon after, the Breastforce attacked the [[Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary]] in an attempt to free their comrade [[Guyhawk]], and despite fighting hard, Star Saber was unable to prevent the Decepticons' escape. {{storylink|Rescue! Guyhawk}} With all six of their members now together, the Breastforce were able to combine into the terrifying [[Liokaiser]], who was actually able to hand Star Saber his first real defeat. Indeed, Star Saber would have died at Liokaiser's hands had God Ginrai not arrived in time to rescue him. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

[[File:Starsaber living metal destroying cannon.jpg|left|thumb|Not a Buster!]]
Star Saber stared death in the face once again on the return trip to Earth when he was attacked by Deathsaurus and confronted by the emperor's deadly [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]]. Although Deathsaurus actually pulled the trigger on what would have been a fatal blast, it was simple luck for Star Saber that Deathsaurus had already used up too much of his personal energy supply, leaving the cannon unable to fire. {{storylink|Resurrection!? The Decepticon Fortress}} Once back on Earth, Star Saber steeled himself for another confrontation with Liokaiser, and found himself having to soothe the fears of Jan, who was having nightmares of his father's demise. When Liokaiser struck again at the [[Schaeffer Energy]] production plant, Star Saber held his own in the fight, but a definitive outcome was not to be had, since Deathsaurus ordered a retreat when the plant's energy was successfully stolen. {{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}} Another battle between Star Saber and Liokaiser soon followed, this time at the South Pole, where Star Saber was again defeated by the combiner, and would have met his end had Deathsaurus not interrupted and attempted to claim the honor for himself. This momentary distraction allowed Star Saber to turn the tables and defeat Deathsaurus while an insulted Liokaiser did nothing but watch his leader lose. {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}}

[[File:Victory30 victorysaber.jpg|thumb|Stand up to the Victory!]]
When a battle with Deathsaurus in the desert left Star Saber and Blacker wounded, {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}} the Decepticons capitalized upon the Autobots' lack of manpower by stepping up their attacks, until Star Saber was left with no option but to enter battle despite his injuries. Confronted by Deathsaurus and Liokaiser in a subterranean cave in Asia, Star Saber was once again saved from the brink of death by God Ginrai, who took the shot meant for his friend. {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} Fatally wounded with no hope of repair, Ginrai insisted that Star Saber allow him to be deactivated and rebuilt using a power-up design the commander had created. Star Saber was revolted at the notion of using his friend's body in such a way, but Ginrai would not relent, {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}} and was reconstructed by [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Minerva (Masterforce robot)|Minerva]] as [[Victory Leo]]. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}} Star Saber then had the scientists implant a combination circuit in his head, which would allow him to merge with Victory Leo. {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}} The duo successfully accomplished this combination for the first time when Deathsaurus was bombarding the Earth with missiles from space; together, they became Victory Saber, outraced Deathsaurus's missiles, destroyed his launcher and defeated him in battle. {{storylink|The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}}

[[File:Victory31 dinoforcespared.jpg|left|215px|thumb|Remember kids, don't walk away from your problems.]]
Star Saber was in space seeing Perceptor off when the Dinoforce attacked Jan's school, leaving the boy to defend his friends as best he could in his mech, the [[Illumina II]], before Star Saber was able to come to his aid. After defeating Dinoking, however, Star Saber was surprised to have the battered Dinoforce troops clutch at his legs and throw themselves in his path in an attempt to save their leader, [[Goryu (Victory)|Goryu]]. Touched by this genuine display of camaraderie, Star Saber sheathed his sword and told Goryu to be sure to heal properly for their next battle. {{storylink|Jan - Defend the Campus!!}}

While Star Saber was attending a Galactic Peace Alliance conference, Leozack attempted to exploit the Autobots' trust of their leader by donning an exoskeleton in his likeness and posing as him in order to obtain information on his combination with Victory Leo. As it happened, only Victory Leo smelled a rat, and in time, the real Star Saber returned to combine with his partner and expose the phoney to the other Autobots. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}} Later, Jan used the Illumina II to help save Star Saber from the Decepticons' latest threat, the metal-eating [[Doriya]] insects. {{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}}

[[File:Victory37 finalblow.jpg|215px|thumb|"Swords! My only weakness...for now."]]
A month later, after no further Decepticon attacks, Star Saber and the Autobots were suddenly forced to go into action when the Decepticons raised [[Atlantis]] off the coast of [[Portugal]]. Disasters caused by the tidal waves the raising of the continent had created kept the Autobots occupied with relief efforts, allowing the Decepticons to steal enough of Atlantis's energy to finally re-power Deathsaurus's fortress. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}} Greatshot and the Brainmasters headed out to serve as the first line of defence against the fortress, while Star Saber and Victory Leo found themselves delayed by the Dinoforce, who had—unbeknownst even to themselves—been abandoned on Earth by Deathsaurus. As Victory Saber and Dinoking battled, the fortress began bombarding the Earth with meteor bombs, one of which struck Dinoking and ended the battle. Victory Saber proceeded to head into space to confront the fortress, but was blasted by its weapons and crashed on its surface, unconscious. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}}

[[File:Victory37 saberfireguts.jpg|left|215px|thumb|Oh crap, Hate Plague!]]
Victory Saber did not regain consciousness until the fortress was nearly upon the Earth, and immediately renewed his attack on the massive weapon, leading Deathsaurus to dispatch Liokaiser to keep Victory Saber busy. Just as the two combatants engaged each other, Jan arrived on the scene in the Illumina II, having been giving information on the fortress's weak spot by Goryu, who had realized that Deathsaurus had abandoned him and his troops. Star Saber separated from Victory Leo, leaving his partner to deal with Liokaiser while he covered his son's entrance into the fortress. Within the fortress, Star Saber faced off against Deathsaurus for their final brutal battle, eventually besting his eternal foe just as Jan succeeded in destroying the fortress's weapon power core. Deathsaurus refused to accept defeat, and sealed Star Saber in the fortress, setting it on collision course with Earth, but with help from Victory Leo, Star Saber escaped. The pair then merged into Victory Saber and, burning with flaming energy, tore the fortress apart from within, causing it to explode in a cosmic firestorm before it collided with Earth. Although the pair initially seemed as through they were destroyed in the conflagration, both Star Saber and Victory Leo emerged from its ashes, just as victorious as their name. {{storylink|Showdown!

[[File:Victorysaber feminia destruction.jpg|215px|thumb|Alright, who ordered the barbecued Victory Saber extra fresh?]]
Some time after the defeat of Deathsaurus, the supernatural entity known as [[Violen Jiger]] took control of the Decepticon forces and amassed an army of [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] from Decepticon history. When these generals attacked the planet [[Feminia]], Star Saber and Victory Leo merged into Victory Saber and headed for the planet with [[Galaxy Shuttle]] and the [[Rescue Patrol Team]] to do what they could for the inhabitants. Victory Saber saved a native boy named [[Cain]] from falling into a pit of lava as the ground beneath his feet collapsed, and got him to the Galaxy Shuttle in time to evacuate, but he was unable to get to safety himself, and was caught in the planet's explosion and feared dead by his troops.

Two-and-a-half months later, Victory Saber's body was discovered floating in space, badly damaged but alive, by the Autobot [[Powered Master]]s [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]] and [[Sonic Bomber]]. They brought him to planet [[Micro|Zone]] for medical treatment, before heading on to Earth to defeat the Demon Generals that were in the process of attacking the planet. Impressed by Dai Atlas's skill in battle, Star Saber held a ceremony to appoint Dai Atlas the new Supreme Commander of the Autobots. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}
{{-}}

====''Robotmasters''====
Some time after Dai Atlas's eventual defeat of Violen Jiger, Star Saber and Victory Leo set about tracking down the Decepticon criminal, [[Gigant Bomb]]. In the course of the pursuit, all three warriors travelled through the mysterious dimensional fissure known as the [[Blasty Zone]] and were cast through space and time, to arrive on Earth in [[2004]]. Star Saber and Victory Leo aligned themselves with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and various other Autobots from throughout space and time to prevent the Decepticons from acquiring the power of [[Solitarium]], and eventually returned to their home time when the task was done.

{{note| ''Robotmasters'' is explicitly placed in the Japanese cartoon continuity, after ''Zone'', by [[Generation 1 cartoon timeline (Japan)|Takara's 2007 Transformers timeline]].

The pair merged into Victory Saber and destroyed their Solitarium with a single strike, causing the two Decepticons to immediately flee the scene.

After crossing the distortion into the year [[2004]], Star Saber surveyed Earth and came across the Decepticon [[Smokesniper]]. Star Saber battled Smokesniper one-on-one and defeated his opponent, only to be attacked from behind and disarmed by [[Gigant Bomb]]. Gigant Bomber and Smokesniper combined into [[Gigant Sniper]] and opened fire on Star Saber, {{storylink|Go!

When an injured robot named "[[Reverse Convoy]]" appeared on Earth, Star Saber and the Autobots brought him to their base for medical aid. {{storylink|Strategic Meeting: The Mysterious New Warrior}} Their trusting natures proved to be their downfall, however, when this so-called Convoy turned out to be the original [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] in a new guise.

While investigating a mysterious explosion, Star Saber came under attack from Starscream, who scored two missile hits on the future-born Autobot. Unable to hit Starscream with his own guns, Star Saber summoned Victory Leo, and the pair combined into Victory Saber to take the fight up close and personal. It took the arrival of Optimus Prime for the Decepticon Air Commander to be defeated, but at that point, Megatron, Gigant Bomb, and Smokesniper arrived. Victory Saber kept Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper busy while Prime defeated Megatron with aid from the newly arrived Optimus Primal. After Megatron was defeated, the three commanders agreed to continue the fight against the new Decepticons/Predacons and protect Earth's Solitarium. {{storylink|Fight!

Star Saber and Deathsaurus's rivalry began when they were children 500,000 years ago, and argued all the time. {{storylink|The Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}} That rivalry came to a true head in 2025, when Deathsaurus began attacking the Earth in pursuit of the energy required to keep his gigantic "Space Stronghold" powered up. {{storylink|Heroic! The Victory War}} In response to Deathsaurus's first attack, Star Saber led the Multiforce to Earth, and made short work of Deathsaurus by cleaving his shoulder with his Saber Blade. As the Decepticon emperor retreated, Star Saber made a vow to protect the beauty of Earth's nature for all mankind. {{storylink|Magnificent! Our Friend, Star Saber!}}

[[File:Super saber meteor spin.jpg|thumb]]
Earth's nature proved to be the very next thing that Deathsaurus attacked, when he started a forest fire and defeated Landcross. Star Saber and Road Caesar came to their friend's aid, but were unprepared for the new strength Deathsaurus had drawn from the energy of the fire. Luckily, Deathsaurus was distracted when his own cyborg-human son, [[Solon Kitakaze (Victory)|Solon]], arrived with Jan in a deadly hold, and Star Saber exploited the opening to flatten Deathsaurus with a "Super Saber Meteor Spin". {{storylink|Great Turn-Around! Star Saber}}

After Jan alerted him to an attack on an Earth city by the Decepticon Leozack, Star Saber came speeding to the rescue, only to be knocked from the sky by the villain's electromagnetic nunchaku. Unfortunately for Leozack, he had forgotten to bring his Breast Animal into battle with him that day, allowing Star Saber to puncture his unprotected torso with his sword and send him fleeing. {{storylink|Leozack Rumbles Violently!}} The rest of the Breastforce didn't do much better in a later battle against Star Saber, and neither did inept Dinoforcer [[Kakuryu]], who was hurled over a cliff by a "Saber Vacuum Tornado Pacifier" from the Autobot commander. As he dangled on the cliff's edge, however, Kakuryu was shocked when Star Saber pulled him to safety, displaying once more the compassion and love of life that made him worthy of the role of Supreme Commander. {{storylink|Warrior of Love, Star Saber!}}

[[File:Starsaber and jean manga.jpg|left|thumb]]
When Deathsaurus kidnapped Jan and took him to the Decepticons' ''[[Thunder Arrow]]'' out in space, an enraged Star Saber gave chase and came tearing through the ship's hull. Deathsaurus didn't take Jan's rejection well, but couldn't stand up to Star Saber's shattering "Planetary Impulse Sword Death-Strike" attack. {{storylink|Watch Out, Jan! Hurry, Star Saber!}} Although the reunion between Star Saber and Jan was a happy one, tempers soon flared between the two of them when they pursued the Decepticon to [[Energy Planet X]], only to lose their trail and start blaming each other. When they were attacked by the lurking Liokaiser, Star Saber disengaged from the V-Star, and allowed Jan to take control of it, transforming it into battle station mode and opening fire on Liokaiser. Saber delivered the final blow that drove the villains into retreat, and the two heroes apologized to each other, realizing that if they couldn't work together, they'd wind up like the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}}

[[File:Victorysaber manga.jpg|thumb]]
Attacked by Deathsaurus, Dinoking and Liokaiser all at once, Star Saber was defeated and would have met his end if not for the sudden appearance of the new, feral Autobot, Victory Leo. Star Saber found he could combine with the newcomer, and together, they became Victory Saber and defeated the Decepticons with their "Flash Victory" attack. {{storylink|The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!}} Deathsaurus tried to create a counter-force for this powerful new combination, creating a mech for Solon with which he could combine to become "Kingsaurus", but when Solon lost focus during a battle on the planet [[Guard]], Victory Saber destroyed his mech with a "Victory Boomberang" attack. {{storylink|Mighty!

[[File:Starsaber deathsaurus truce.jpg|left|thumb]]
After this definitive battle, Deathsaurus withdrew his forces to the Space Stronghold and began bombarding Earth with meteorites. Star Saber engaged Deathsaurus in a battle in space while the rest of his troops entered the massive fortress, but the treacherous Leozack had been planning for this moment, and turned the power of the fortress's main cannon on Deathsaurus himself. Deathsaurus survived the blast and crippled the fortress with his own weapons, allowing Star Saber to come crashing through the control room window and unleash his Planetary Impulse Sword on Leozack. Leozack begged Star Saber not to destroy the fortress, at which point the injured Deathsaurus chose to reveal the true reason for his energy-gathering attacks on Earth to the Autobots: the fortress was, in fact, home to the Decepticon civilians, and they required the energy to keep the fortress functional for them to live in. Star Saber realized that it was time to set aside their warring ways and follow the example set by Jan and Solon. With a handshake between the two leaders, the [[Victory War]] came to an end, bringing peace to everyone—the truest victory of all! {{storylink|Heroic! The Victory War}}

Some time after the end of the Victory war, a new energy source known as [[Energon Z]] was developed on planet Micro. Knowing that the Decepticons—who had since fallen under the command of the supernatural being Violen Jiger—would want the energy for their own nefarious purposes, Star Saber ordered the fortification of Micro into a defense base that could properly protect its precious new innovation. Employing a process developed by the [[Super Car Patrol Team]], the Autobot space pioneers known as the Powered Masters rebuilt Micro as the planet "Zone". {{storylink|Fight!

As the "Nine Great Demon Generals" that Violen Jiger had assembled began attacking planets throughout the galaxy, Star Saber issued commands from his base on Planet V, directing the [[Micromaster]]s of Zone to respond to the threats. {{storylink|Fight!

When the Demon Generals destroyed the planet Feminia, Star Saber was caught in the planet's eruption and feared dead by his troops. A month later, however, he was found floating in space by Powered Masters Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber, who brought him back to Zone for medical attention. After Dai Atlas's successful defeat of the Demon Generals on Earth, Star Saber decided to pass the mantle of Supreme Commander on to the Powered Master. {{storylink|Fight!

[[File:GT-R Saber.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]
In a world where the Transformers' war settled into a series of friendly competitive races known as the [[Transformers GT]], Star Saber became the [[GT Transformer]] known as '''GT-R Saber'''. A hot-blooded combatant, his main tactic in one-on-one races was to transform into [[robot mode]] and use his [[Gas-Fill-Blade]] to slice apart his opponent's drivetrain. Like other racers, GT-R Saber put a limit on his own strength by separating his Matrix into a [[GT Sister]], creating his partner [[Anna]].

====''Story of Transformers GT''====
On the day before the Transformers GT began, GT-R Saber went out for a test run and found himself racing with the similarly practicing [[Optimus Prime (G1)|GT-R Prime]]. Towards the end of the race, Prime transformed into robot mode: assuming he was preparing to fight, Saber transformed as well, only for Prime to turn back into car mode and finish the race while his opponent was distracted. {{storylink|Test Run Battle! –Prelude–}} Saber was determined to get back at Prime in the actual race the next day, finding support in Anna who advised him to target Prime as his victories had likely made him careless. As soon as the race started, Saber blindsided Prime and sent him flying, allowing him to take first place. {{storylink|First Fast Attack! –Whoever Strikes First Wins–}} Lagging behind as the race went on, he found himself behind [[Megatron (G1)|GT-R Megatron]] and sped towards him for an attack, only to be blasted by his opponent's [[EX. Cannon]] and spin out of control. {{storylink|One Shot and One Kill!! –Finishing Blow–}}

====Comic====
GT-R Saber was racing against [[Optimus Prime (G1)|GT-R Prime]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|GT-R Maximus]], being goaded on by Anna on the sidelines, when the race was interrupted by the arrival of the ruthless [[Megatron (G1)|GT-R Megatron]]. An offended Saber threw a punch at the intruder, who effortlessly dodged it and declared his intent to crush all racers inferior to him. In the end, GT-R Prime put a stop to the battle by persuading Megatron to race the three of them instead. {{storylink|Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (comic)|Transformers GT: Mission GT-R}}

====Story pages====
Like other racers, GT-R Saber attended photo shoots alongside Anna in order to promote coexistence between humans and Transformers. {{storylink|Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (story page)|The Work of the GT Sister Race Queens?}} When a reincarnated [[Unicron]] attacked the Transformers GT finals and absorbed the huge [[energon]] pool saved up for the final prize, Saber restored his true power by using the "Matrix In" process to recombine with Anna. Together with the other powered up racers, he fought and defeated Unicron, saving Earth. {{storylink|Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (story page)|The True TFGT}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
[[File:StarSaber TheDividedSelf.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|Not so much "[[burning justice|BURNING JUSTICE]]" anymore as "BURNING HERETICS".]]
Star Saber was part of the [[Circle of Light]] {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}} and known as a religious fanatic, proposing an "atheist holocaust". Part of his religious efforts included trying to turn the Circle over to his ideology, only to be rejected by [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]]. Documentaries were made about his holy wars, giving him the nickname of the "Dark Evangelist". Circle of Light member [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] was aware of the stories surrounding him, relaying them to [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rodimus]] when they were together on the ''[[Lost Light]]''. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}}

Star Saber later fell in with [[Tyrest (G1)|Chief Justice Tyrest]], betraying the Circle of Light by opening their [[Crystal City]] to an attack by Tyrest's [[Legislator]]s. {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}} Once in Tyrest's inner circle, Star Saber helped him with his operations on [[Moonbase One|Luna 1]]. When Minimus Ambus disappointed Tyrest in his performance as [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ultra Magnus]], the Chief Justice decided to appoint Star Saber as the new enforcer of the [[Tyrest Accord]] in Ultra Magnus's place. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}}

When the ''Lost Light'' arrived on Luna 1, Star Saber joined the [[Legislator]] attack on the ship, seeking out the "criminal" and "apostate" [[Skids (G1)|Skids]]. After stabbing Skids through the torso and knocking out [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]], {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ambus}} he had both teleported to a Luna 1 jail cell containing Rodimus and some of the ''Lost Light'' crew. Star Saber was soon there to bring another prisoner from the [[variable voltage harness]]—Skids' partner in crime, [[Getaway]]. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}}

[[File:StarSaber Primushatesyou ArmtheLonely.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"Nobody is innocent, there are merely varying levels of guilt."]]

Soon after, the captive members of the Circle of Light broke free and Star Saber personally attended to the riot. There, he crossed [[Great Sword]]s with Dai Atlas before plunging a fist into his former leader's chest and coldly crushing his [[spark]]. {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}}

Star Saber proceeded to tear through the members of the Circle of Light, demanding worthy challengers. [[Cyclonus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Cyclonus]] answered his call and engaged the enforcer, who quickly gained the upper hand. Star Saber was about to execute his opponent and questioned his reasons for fighting, to which Cyclonus answered to it being personal and turned the tables by stabbing one of Star Saber's eyes with his remaining horn. Cyclonus moved in for the killing blow as the blinded warrior held his damaged eye in pain, but Saber managed to teleport to safety before it could be delivered. {{storylink|Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|This Calamitous Life}}

When Getaway's reign over the ''[[Lost Light]]'' began to falter, he hired Star Saber to serve as the ship's new chief of security in spite of their past relationship, luring him with the promise of a rematch against Cyclonus. Star Saber arrived just as the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], [[Riptide]], [[Mirage (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Mirage]], and [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]] were making their escape. He immediately shot Thunderclash, and then proceeded to hideously murder Mirage and cut down the non-believing [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]], but was prevented from finishing off [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]], Riptide, and the injured Thunderclash when [[Atomizer]] shot him with a [[nudge gun]]. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 3): Journey's End|Journey's End}}

Star Saber was a member of the Circle of Light on a quest to find a peaceful place to call home. He found the AWOL Decepticon Deadlock, whom he returned to the Circle's base. When [[Lockdown (G1)|Lockdown]] came looking for Deadlock, Star Saber and the other members of the Circle fought the bounty hunter, and as a result, Deadlock turned over a new leaf, changing his name to Drift and joining their group. {{storylink|Circle of Light (Legends)|Circle of Light}}
===''Transformers: Earth Wars''===
[[File:StarSaberEarthWars.jpg|thumb|upright=1.75| I fight for Peace! Justice! And better graphics!]]

Famed as one of the greatest cyber-swordsmen in the known universe, Star Saber fought his way up through the ranks, from footsoldier to commander, driven by a flaming passion for justice and peace, and a commitment to the Autobot cause to rival that of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars| Star Saber Bio}}

When the Autobots broke through the [[trithyllium]] doors of the Deception [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]] in the Arctic, Blaster detected a faint signal from a spaceship in the vicinity. Star Saber gave a warning not to enter the fortress because [[Deathsaurus (Victory)#Transformers: Earth Wars| Deathsaurus]] was in there, and Optimus Prime took heed. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars| Arctic Saga - What Lies Beneath}}

When Star Saber finally met the Autobots face to face, he explained to them who Deathsaurus was. Soon they detected that the fortress energy levels were rising. The Fortress wasn't not activating, but was about to self-destruct. Everyone was able to evacuate. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars| Arctic Saga - Monster Within}}

Later, after he joined the Autobots through the Space Bridge, he assumed that the planet was "covered in a brittle exo-skin". Prowl corrected him that the "exo-skin" was actually ice which covers only parts of the Earth. He's a bit dull as Ultra Magnus, as he ranted on how he will not rest in finding Deathsaurus, much to Prowl's chagrin, and mentioned that he lectured at the [[Autobot Academy]], much to Jazz's boredom.

He later told Prowl the reason he spent so much time in the Arctic was that he was looking for his Saber Blade, which is better than the spare he currently wields. So Prowl and Jazz go with Star Saber to find it.

In the Arctic, he was startled by a [[polar bear]], and prepared to defend the others. Jazz told him that it is more scared of him than he is of it, and he replied that he was Justice Warrior of the Year three years in a row.

Soon he ran into Deathsaurus, and he immediately assumed he remained on Earth to conquer and oppress. Deathsaurus responded he was just looking for his lost weapons, but Star Saber would not let him pass. It seemed to Deathsaurus that he was trying to talk him to death.

Months later after his return from the Arctic, he came across Grimlock and the Space Bridge, newly modified as a doorway through time. He felt the presence of a [[Optimus Primal (BW)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Prime]] in the making. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|A Stitch in Time}}

==Toys==
===Victory===
[[File:G1 Saber toy.jpg|thumb|Tall.]]
*'''Star Saber''' (Large Brainmaster, 1989)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-324'''
**''Accessories'': "Brain of Courage" Brainmaster figure, "V-Star" ship/body, nosecone/shield/sword hilt, "Saber Blade", "Saber Laser"

:Star Saber transforms into a large red, blue, and white Cybertronic spacecraft with numerous features and modes.

:The forward section of the spacecraft, "Saber", can detach from the larger spacecraft body (known by itself as the V-Star) to form a smaller red fighter jet, the cockpit of which houses the small Brainmaster figure, the "Brain of Courage". When Saber transforms into robot mode, the Brain of Courage is placed within his chest; when the chest is closed, the figure rises up to become Saber's face. The jet nosecone mounts on Saber's shoulder as a shield, and he can wield the "Saber Laser" rifle.

[[File:G1 StarSaber toy.jpg|right|225px|thumb|Grande.]]
:In grand Autobot leader tradition, the V-Star ship transforms into a battle station which Saber can man, and then into a larger body with which Saber can combine, forming "Star Saber". Saber slots into the empty chest area of the V-Star body, with his normal robot head forming Star Saber's ordinary, unmasked head, which is the appearance he commonly employs in fiction when he is not in battle. His battle helmet, featuring an Optimus-Prime-style mouthplate, is connected to the V-Star, and can swing up to fit over Saber's head.

:In Star Saber mode, Saber's nosecone/shield becomes a sword hilt. The chromed "Saber Blade" of the sword stores in a slot in Star Saber's back, and is drawn by inserting the hilt into the slot and withdrawing it, an action which brings the blade with it, and which is regularly used to dramatic effect in the ''Victory'' animated series. He can also wield the Saber Laser.

:Star Saber can further combine with Victory Leo to form Victory Saber in both vehicle and super [[robot mode]]s. (see below).

:The Victory Saber gift set is a two-pack of Star Saber and Victory Leo. In Victory Saber [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], Victory Leo "transforms" into a large yellow block with wings, and connects into the rear between Star Saber's engines/legs, forming a huge-ass space ship.

:For Victory Saber robot mode, Victory Leo splits up into multiple parts, with most of Leo's body becoming "platform shoes" for Star Saber and the rest of him forming a giant backpack/weapons system from hell. As Victory Saber, the Star Saber robot is armed with his sword and Victory Leo's giant missile-firing "V-Lock Cannon".

*'''Star Saber''' (1989)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-324'''
**''Accessories:'' "Saber Laser", red wings, blue tailfins, cardboard nosecone

:''[[Transform Jr]]'' Star Saber is an immensely simplified version of the larger figure—and that's no exaggeration. His Brainmaster gimmick and the V-Star's base mode are eliminated, and there is virtually no element of actual transformation left in the figure. Saber's jet mode wings are a separate piece that is removed, as are the V-Star's tailfins, and to combine the pair, rather than fold up Saber's legs, you simply pull them off and plug them into his chest. None of that, however, compares to the fact that Saber's jet nosecone is now a piece of folded-up cardboard, lacking its other functions as a shield or sword hilt.

*'''Star Saber DX Set''' (1989)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-324'''
**''Accessories:'' "Saber Laser", red wings, blue tailfins, cardboard nosecone, roleplay "camcorder", 20 silver pellets, cardboard target

:This "Deluxe set" includes the ''Transform Jr'' Star Saber figure and a roleplay camcorder toy, which shoots silver pellets. The set (shown in-box in the top-right of the image above) comes with a stand-up cardboard target decorated with Star Saber's [[package art]], so you can practise your accuracy.

*'''Star Saber''' (2004)

:A smaller, simplified version of the Star Saber toy, the ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' version of the figure eliminates the base mode and Saber's Brainmaster component. Aside from this, however, he is virtually identical to the original Star Saber figure in transformation and weaponry, including his ability to combine with the ''Robotmasters'' version of Victory Leo to form Victory Saber, and as a small compensation for losing two of his gimmicks, the figure has also been redesigned with more show-accurate proportions and is generally nicer to look at.

:Star Saber was also available in a two-pack with the ''Robotmasters'' version of Victory Leo, with whom he could still combine to form Victory Saber in both jet and robot modes. The two figures in this pack are differentiated from their standard release by the addition of a metallic paint job.

*'''GT-R Saber''' ([[2013]]-[[May 25|05-25]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GT-02'''

:''[[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (franchise)|Transformers GT]]'' GT-R Saber is a heavy retool of the ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Alternity|Convoy]] toy, transforming into a 1:32 replica of the Calsonic Impul GT-R race car used by [http://www.impul.co.jp/ Team Impul] in the [[wikipedia:Super GT|Super GT]] racing championship series. He features die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats. His armaments include flip-out non-firing blasters on his arms as well as the awkwardly named Gas-Fill-Blade, a sword based on his trademark Saber Blade but designed to resemble a fuel dispenser. Like all ''GT'' toys, Saber also comes with a [[GT Sister]], poseable human figures themed after [[wikipedia:race queen|race queens]], his partner being a lady named Anna.

:This mold was also used, with different heads and accessories, to make the other ''Transformers GT'' toys: [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GT|GT-R Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)/toys#GT|GT-R Megatron]], and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#GT|GT-R Maximus]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-24'''
**''Accessories:'' "Brain of Courage" Brainmaster figure, "V-Star" ship/body, big nosecone/shield/sword hilt, small nosecone/sword hilt, "Saber Blade", small "Saber Blade", "Saber Laser", Shield, stand pieces

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Star Saber was chosen by fans on the ''Masterpiece'' Fan's Choice poll and announced [[November 19]], [[2013]]. [[Hisashi Yuki]] led the ''Masterpiece'' Star Saber project, rather than the usual ''Masterpiece'' designer, [[Shogo Hasui]], so the creation of Star Saber did not derail the other ongoing ''Masterpiece'' releases.

:Star Saber keeps most of the features the original toy had, the main difference being in how the Brainmaster gimmick works: Saber's face is in the main body rather than in the Brain of Courage figure. Also he comes with an extra accessory that was not in the original figure, the shield Star Saber used in "[[Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification]]", which doubles as a "flight stand" for the figure when in its [[alternate mode]]. He also comes with two swords, one scaled for Saber and one scaled for Star Saber. The small one's blade is stored in the slot opposite to the one where the regular blade is stored, while its hilt detaches from the big one.

:If ordered from Amazon in not-Japanese Asian states, he comes with a collector coin. The coin comes in a box shaped like Star Saber's chest.

:Star Saber was released in Australia as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive, with box and instructions translated to English. The English version of his bio is based on his IDW incarnation.<ref>http://tformers.com/hasbro-australia-to-distribute-masterpiece-star-saber/25793/news.html</ref>

He also includes two heads: his unmasked "Saber" head, and his masked "Star Saber" visage. Although he cannot transform, Star Saber can combine with the simultaneously-released Victory Leo ''Mega SCF'' figure to form Victory Saber.

:A surprise entry in the ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' series, this [[super deformed]] figurine depicts Star Saber combined with Victory Leo as Victory Saber, packaged with an equally adorable Deathsaurus, sporting another new name variant. Originally discovered amongst [[Walmart|Wal-Mart]] store computer listings in mid-2008, the ill-fated Victory Saber and Deathy failed to materialize before the ''Robot Heroes'' line was canceled.

==Notes==
*The longterm relationship between Star Saber and Deathsaurus since childhood is [[Optimus Prime (RID)#Notes|not the]] [[Megatron (RID)#Notes|only one]] in the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]].
*Star Saber's Brainmaster figure has for years been (and continues to be) incorrectly referred to by fans with the names "Yuki" and "Yukio", mistakenly derived from the Japanese word meaning "courage" (勇気 ''yūki''). In truth, like all Brainmaster units, it does not have a proper name, but is known simply by the title used in this article, the "Brain of Courage".
*Star Saber's alt mode, a red and blue fighter jet that combines with a white add-on, is similar to and possibly based on ''Mobile Suit Gundam''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Core Booster. Adding to the similarity is the fact that when merging into his Star Saber mode, his jet portion folds into a block, similar to how the Core Booster's jet would fold into a block before fitting into the Gundam. In fact, Star Saber's final visual design was a result of a revision done by Gundam mechanical designer [[Kunio Okawara]]
*During Star Saber's transformation [[stock footage]], there is a moment where he has a face before he performs his "Brain Set".
*The ''Robotmasters'' episode "[[Fight! The Group of the Strongest Commanders!]]" [[Romanization|romanizes]] Star Saber's name as "Star Saver"; both names are homonyms in Japanese.
*The decision to present the normally squeaky-clean hero of heroes, Star Saber, as a brutal villain in [[IDW Generation 1 continuity]] is pretty clearly drawn from [[James Roberts]]'s days as part of the [[Transmasters UK|Transmasters UK fanfic group]], which depicted the character in this way. He's a ''different'' type of villain as Roberts wanted to respect his former collaborators and not poach their ideas. The reason Star Saber is used is because he was an existing G1 character who would have some ''weight'' if he showed up as Tyrest's new right hand (and hadn't been already established).<ref>[http://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/2015/02/26/james-roberts-on-idws-transformers-more-that-meets-the-eye/ Women Write About Comics: "James Roberts on IDW’s Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye" 19:24 - 31:07]</ref> Thematically, he also fits with Tyrest and Pharma's theme of being one of the main pillars of society (in this case religion) going wrong.<ref>[http://www.fullmetalhero.com/t14540/ Moonbase2's second interview with James Roberts – 02:05:34 to 02:05:57]</ref>
*Like all non-toy robot Kreons in the ''Kre-O'' comics, Victory Saber is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)#Toys|Optimus Prime]] helmet, and a backpack made from a 2x4 harness and a pair of 1x2 plates with side-bars, a pair of clip-on wings ''and'' a pair of clip-on rifles. Add to that a chestplate that's the [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]] wing-pack draped forward. He stands atop a pair of platform shoes, each made out of a 1x2 plate with a slope over one stud, and a 1x2 Combiner "lower limb" block. He carries a short-sword of the type most commonly carried by the [[Predaking (G1)#Kre-O|Predaking]] components. Whoof!

:''Steamhammer is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Steamhammer-boxart.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|I wanna be your Steamhammer. Let there be no doubt about it.]]
'''Steamhammer''' has the physique to be a dull-witted legbreaker, and to be sure, he's very good in a fight. With his powerful fist and his mighty shovel arm, he is a deadly pugilist, and only the stronger [[Autobot]]s like [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] can really oppose him properly. Stoic and not given to mercy, he could run over a harmless petrorabbit without hesitation. When combined with his [[Construction Team]] into the mighty [[Constructicon Maximus]], he is dangerous indeed.

Brute strength, however, does not win wars alone. Steamhammer is no [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], but he is a skilled communications specialist and code breaker, and this is his preferred occupation: jamming transmissions, intercepting messages, and ensuring that his side's information is good, and the other side's is not. One must wonder, however, how he operates radio equipment and computer terminals with a shovel for a hand—

Ow.

==Fiction==
===''Energon'' cartoon===
[[File:Distribution SteamhammerBarricade.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Before I let him beat me, I would die with my hammer in my hand.]]
Shortly after awakening from their long slumber, Constructicon Maximus and [[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus Maximus]] were ordered by [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] to pursue the fleeing [[Superion Maximus]] after the Autobot attempted to attack the Decepticon leader. Both combiners separated into their individual components and gave chase. They later pledged their allegiance to Galvatron, believing he was the future of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Wishes}}
[[File:Distribution ConstructionTeam.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|I paint my windows so no-one can see I drive myself.]]
When [[Six Shot]] pinpointed an Autobot signal on the planet's surface, Galvatron sent Constructicon Maximus and Bruticus Maximus out to investigate. Steamhammer and the other components of Constructicon Maximus split from their combined form to beat down Autobot refugees who were attempting to look over the ''Miranda II'''s crash site for survivors. Their rampage was interrupted by the arrival of [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] and [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]]. Though Bruticus Maximus gave chase to the duo, they got away.
The Decepticons found their quarry again a little later, after the Omnicons had blocked off some energon pipelines to weaken the Decepticons' planetary defense grid. They recombined to gun down Kicker and the Omnicons, but were countered by the arrival of Optimus Prime and other Autobot reinforcements. {{storylink|Break Through}}

During a virtual training match between the Autobots and Decepticons, Steamhammer and [[Barricade (Energon)|Barricade]] gathered with their respective team members to face off against [[Storm Jet (Energon)|Storm Jet]] and his [[Air Team]]. Both sides combined and clashed, with Superion Maximus losing the battle. However, they were quickly defeated by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Supreme]] in the next round. {{storylink|Distribution}}

After Optimus was blasted under a pile of debris, Galvatron called for Constructicon Maximus and Scorponok to help dig him out. Constructicon Maximus used his individual vehicle modes to clear rubble under which Optimus lay. Superion Maximus, the Prime Force, and Omega Supreme showed up to run interference before the Decepticons could put Optimus down, and Constructicon Maximus recombined to fight the new arrivals. {{storylink|Decepticon Army}}

When Rodimus, Prowl, and Landmine, now back in control of Cybertron's warp gates, teleported in front of Constructicon Maximus and Bruticus Maximus, the former split into his component pieces to do battle. Steamhammer wrestled with Landmine until the earth began to quake. Not knowing what the tremor signified, Constructicon Maximus decided to bail from the fight, and resumed his combined form before flying off. {{storylink|Galvatron Terror}}

Steamhammer and the other Constructicon Team members eventually paid for their treachery during a final showdown with the Air Team. Bruticus Maximus and Constructicon Maximus double-teamed Superion Maximus, who held his own and destroyed Constructicon's spark before the Autobot was reduced to just Storm Jet. However, the ghost of [[Dauntless Maximus|Superion's brother]] appeared, destroying [[Blackout (combiner)|Blackout]], giving Storm Jet the chance to procure Constructicons's dead limbs and recombine into Superion. Before Bruticus could recover, the Autobot pierced his spark, causing an explosion which engulfed them all. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}}

{{note|Steamhammer was never referred to by name, nor was he ever presented as a sentient, individual being. Most of his appearances were as the torso of Constructicon Maximus.}}

*'''Steamhammer''' (Deluxe, 2005)
**''Team ID number:'' '''C5'''

: Steamhammer transforms into a green face shovel, of the super-sized quarry-mining variety. In robot mode, his left arm is made out of the steam shovel arm, and his [[spark]] crystal is located within the shovel. Like the other ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[combiner]] team leaders, he does not come with any weapons.

: He forms the central body component of Constructicon Maximus, with the rest of his team plugging into combiner Powerlinx ports located in his arms and legs. Constructicon Maximus's head is located inside the steam shovel's cabin, which hangs off the back of the head resembling a hoodie.

: Steamhammer suffers from a slight [[misassembly]]: The small tabs on the sides of his treads are supposed to peg into the holes in the gray flaps on his hips, thereby stabilizing the robot torso. However, the tabs are located on the sides of his head instead. Fortunately, the treads can be easily swapped using a screwdriver.<ref name="ooebi">[http://ooebihara.sakura.ne.jp/toys/TF/Slink/ex01/ex01.htm Ooebi's Hobby Factory gallery of Superlink Buildron]</ref> Hasbro's official [[stock photography|stock photos]] depict the treads correctly assembled, and the [[instructions]] show the tabs in the correct place in robot mode (oddly enough, the instructions imply that the tabs peg in less well than they do in reality).

: This sculpt was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[Scavenger (G1)|Scavenger]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EX-01'''

: In Japan, "Scavenger" was only available as part of the complete [[Toys"R"Us]] Japan [[exclusive]] "[[Constructicon Maximus|Buildron]]" set, which was released shortly after the [[Hasbro]] version of Steamhammer, but before all the [[Construction Team]]'s limb figures had been released in the US. He sports some slight deco differences from his Hasbro counterpart—notably, he is lacking the [[tampograph]]ed [[Powerlinx]] symbol on the side of his excavator mode/inside of his right leg.

: Scavenger suffers from the same misassembly as Steamhammer.

*'''Steamhammer''' (Deluxe, 2005)

[[File:SteamhammerEnergonUniverse.jpg|100px|thumb|Another chance to <s>complete</s> get 2/5 of Constructicon Maximus!]]
: A [[rebranding|rebranded]] but otherwise unchanged Steamhammer was re-released as part of the latter half of the 2003-onwards ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, at a point when the line consisted mostly of rebranded re-released of older toys sold through discount chains in the US. Steamhammer's assortment was available at Big Lots!, Tuesday Morning and [[KB Toys]] stores.

: No mention of Steamhammer's combining ability is made on the cardback, presumably because the only other member of the [[Construction Team]] also available in this fashion was [[Wideload (Energon)|Wideload]].

==Notes==
* Steamhammer got his name indirectly from [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Steamhammer (G1)|Steamhammer]], by way of an abandoned [[OTFCC 2004]] [[exclusive]]. At one point in time, the [[Rail Racer (RID)|Rail Racer]] trains were offered to [[3H Productions]] as a possible set of exclusives. Due to a suggestion from [[Graham Weaver]], [[Steamhammer (RID)|one of them]] was planned to be named after the original Steamhammer, as it was a train-y kind of name. (Another of the three trains would be [[Astrotrain (RID)|Astrotrain]] and the third was never decided on, though "[[Loco (RID)|Loco]]" or "Cowcatcher" was favored, and the combined mode would have been named "[[Dominus Trannis]].") [[Hasbro]] changed their minds on the molds' availability, but they later used the "Steamhammer" name themselves, as they did similarly with "[[Vector Prime]]".

More concerned about his paint job, '''Big Daddy''' isn't particularly interested in the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. Nah, he'd rather be at a local drag or the nearby beach.

:In either mode, inserting a [[Cyber Key]] into a flip-up slot in his rear window springs open a claw from the car's grill. He comes with two large spring-loaded missile launchers, which can peg via [[5mm post]] on his vehicle side-panels/robot legs, or mount on his shoulders. He comes with a clear-red Cybertron-style Cyber Key.

:This mold suffers from a [[design flaw]]: Even though his head has a [[swivel joint]], it's rendered useless because the ridges on his chest (the air vents in [[Alternate mode|vehicle mode]]) get in the way in both directions.

It is worth noting that his head is a homage to G1 Wheeljack, like Cybertron Downshift.

:''Whirl is an [[Autobot]] [[Deluxe Vehicle]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:G1Whirl boxart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Whirl enjoys making hand puppets in his own image.]]
[[Units of time|Vorns]] before [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] coined the phrase "Sometimes crazy works", '''Whirl''' was living it in action. Whirl believes that, logically speaking, insanity makes an extremely effective weapon. Enemies flee in terror before the absolutely insane maneuvers he pulls on the battlefield. His extreme maneuverability in helicopter mode lets him spin, bob, weave, dive, and bank like someone totally out of control. Or totally out of his mind.

Needless to say, Whirl is a rather reckless fighter and can take damage because of it. He's okay with that, because he absolutely LOVES his job...perhaps a little ''too'' much. Many of Whirl's comrades remain unsure if his wild behavior is truly an affectation, or if his increasingly-fleeting displays of rationality are actually the facade hiding a troubled psyche.

Whirl is (or was) a member of the elite [[Wrecker]]s unit. He is now a member of the Lost Light.

Sometimes he is known as '''Jetstream'''.

{{bigquote|You wanna know a '''secret''', [[Cyclonus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|hornhead]]? Life's messed up. '''I'm''' messed up.

{{noteukexclusive|Whirl}}
Whirl was a member of the elite Wreckers unit under the command of [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]]. Alongside [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]], he accompanied his commander as Impactor argued with [[Xaaron]] over [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s trip to [[Earth]] to investigate the disappearance of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]].

[[File:Whirl copter Target 2006.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|This is one choppah you cannot get to.]]
Later, the Wreckers continued preparing for [[Operation: Volcano]], an attempt to eliminate some of the [[Decepticon]]s' [[Ten Deadliest Killers|deadliest killers]]. During the simulation, Whirl demonstrated his trademark aerial combat style to draw fire away from his teammates. As the simulation concluded, Impactor decided that without Ultra Magnus' support, the operation would basically become a suicide mission for the Wreckers. Whirl and the others agreed with him and Impactor left to tell Xaaron that the Wreckers were bowing out of Volcano. Taking some downtime, Whirl, Roadbuster, and [[Twin Twist]] went to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] to unwind. While Roadbuster and Twin Twist were having uneasy feelings about the decision to ditch Volcano, Whirl seemed fine with it, pointing out that it was only logical and no one would say that they were in the wrong. Their discussion was interrupted when they noticed [[Fang]], a Decepticon who began bullying a [[Tusks|smaller Transformer]] in the place. Twin Twist violently intervened, realizing that as Autobots, it was their duty to always do their best to stop the Decepticons. His sudden revelation seemed to energize Whirl and Roadbuster, and after Impactor was convinced by Xaaron to go through with Operation: Volcano, the rest of the Wreckers eagerly volunteered.

[[File:Target 2006 Whirl Roadbuster Do It.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|My face is down here, Roadbuster...I think.]]
Unfortunately, Operation: Volcano failed when most of the targeted Decepticons were unknowingly ordered clear of the ambush by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]. Only [[Macabre]] went ahead and attempted to assassinate Xaaron, shooting and mortally-wounding Impactor instead. Whirl and the rest of the Wreckers immediately gunned Macabre down in retaliation. {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

Later, Whirl was seen alongside Ultra Magnus and his fellow Wreckers on a hunt for a Decepticon spy posing as Optimus Prime. This was revealed, thanks to the efforts of [[Outback (G1)|Outback]], to be a product of Decepticon misinformation and Prime was welcomed back into the fold. {{storylink|Distant Thunder!}}

====Marvel UK future timelines====
[[File:Whirl Triton Peace.jpg|left|upright=0.6|thumb|Hands, glorious hands!]]
In an alternate version of [[2510]], Whirl and the Wreckers led the final Autobot offensive against Decepticon held territory, bringing the war to a close. At the ceremony where he officially announced the end of the war, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]] chose to make [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], leader of the Wreckers, his successor as Autobot leader and carrier of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]]. One Autobot named [[Triton]] objected to the idea, though: he said Springer was a fighter, not a tactician, and Ultra Magnus would be a better leader for a world at peace. Whirl took offense to Triton putting down his commanding officer, and shoved the little guy in the back, asking where was his "precious Ultra Magnus" when the Wreckers were winning the war? Triton struck back, and the situation turned from bad to worse as the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] sided with Ultra Magnus against the Wreckers. Shots were fired, battle lines were drawn, and a new war picked up where the old one left off. Tragically, it seems no one took the time to examine Triton's fallen body, and the hidden Decepticon insignia on his chest. The last act of the last Decepticon was to see that there would never truly be peace on Cybertron. {{storylink|Peace}}

Along with the other [[Wrecker]]s Whirl voted to follow [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]]'s plan to leave Cybertron to visit the other planets touched by the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] and so they hitched a ride with [[Berko]]'s [[Cosmic Carnival]] to Earth. Whirl looked on in horror as their surveillance drones showed a devastated planet, and worse still—Megatron! Before any of the Wreckers could react, the Decepticon promptly launched nuclear warheads at their shuttle, apparently destroying it. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 1}}

The Wreckers managed to make it to Earth's surface in escape pods, and Whirl was sent to survey the ruined planet. He spied an incoming horde of [[Zombie|reanimated Decepticons]] sent by Megatron and reported back to the others. The Wreckers' priority then became to get a message back to Cybertron about the situation on Earth. They eventually found the [[Deep Space Network]] located in [[Goldstone]], and put a plan into action to utilize its radio transmitter to send a distress call. Whirl joined Kup and Springer in making a break for the facility while the other Wreckers distracted Megatron's forces. They succeeded in sending their message to Cybertron, but Kup was captured in the process. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 2}}

The Wreckers soon encountered [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Circuit Smasher]]—formerly Spike Witwicky, one of the last vestiges of resistance on Megatron's conquered Earth. Despite some initial hostility on his part, the Wreckers were soon invited to [[Argus Base]], the human resistance's headquarters. On the way there, Whirl asked Spike how things had gotten so bad on Earth. Spike filled them in on the tale of Megatron's rise and humanity's fall. After arriving at Argus Base and convening with the leader of the resistance, [[G.B. Blackrock]], the Wreckers agreed to aid them in destroying Megatron's chief power base—the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 3}}

Whirl embarked on a rescue mission with Springer and [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] to retrieve Kup and also to divert Megatron's forces from the assault on the Ark. While Sandstorm considered the plan to be "reckless suicide", Whirl cheerfully voiced his approval of it. They soon encountered Megatron's air defenders, and experienced trouble fighting them, as the undead Decepticons apparently no longer felt any pain. While Whirl managed to fly circles around [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] for a bit, he was eventually shot down. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 4}}

After returning to Cybertron, Whirl was present with the other Wreckers as they attempted to defuse a tense situation between civilians on a main highway road. They failed and it erupted into a brawl. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Two}} He later participated in an attack on [[Fort Scyk]] to root out [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s cell of Decepticon insurgents, but was flung through the air when the whole place exploded. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Three}}

Whirl was with the Wreckers when the entire Autobot fleet attacked the [[Hub (G2)|Hub Network]]. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 3}} While the rest of the fleet was shot down or captured, the Wreckers covertly infiltrated the Hub's [[slam rail]] tube system and began wreaking havoc from within. The Wreckers traveled from point to point, seeking to destabilize the Hub by severing its planetary links with targeted nuclear explosions. Whirl and the others engaged the troops of [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] in a crowded slam tube and managed to blow them out into space. Eventually, the surviving Autobots managed to escape as the Hub suffered catastrophic damage. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 4}} What became of Whirl after this point is unknown, but if he managed to return to Cybertron and survive the battle with the [[Dark Matrix (G1)|Dark Matrix]] creature, he likely [[Death|died]] of old age after [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]] severed their reality's link to the [[multiverse]]. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}

===Milton Bradley mini-comic===
Whirl was among the Autobots under [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]'s command who launched in the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] to clear a path through an asteroid belt. When the Decepticons attacked the ship, Jetfire sent it crashing into [[Earth]], knocking everyone aboard offline. Four million years later, they were repaired when the ship's systems were reactivated by a volcanic eruption. {{storylink|In the Transformers}}

When the Autobots split into multiple factions after the disappearance of their leaders, Whirl joined Springer's group, known as the Wreckers. During one of the group's missions, he participated in an attack against [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], who sought to claim the [[Tagan Heights]] for [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and the [[Ultracon]]s. {{storylink|Escalation}} [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] joined in to battle the Decepticon combiner, but the resulting clash was so brutal that Whirl and the other Wreckers were forced to retreat to avoid becoming collateral damage. {{storylink|Devastation}}

Much later, during [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s rule of Cybertron, Whirl continued with the Wreckers, now a small unit of Autobots dedicated to keeping the peace wherever (and however) necessary. {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}} When [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] released the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] from their imprisonment in Cybertron's [[Detention Banks]], the Wreckers were sent in to deal with the escapees.

[[File:Interiors WhirlPreEmpurataFlashback.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|HAPPY DAYS]]In the pre-war era, under the reign of [[Nominus Prime]], '''Whirl of [[Polyhex]]''' {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations}} was a member of the [[Aerial Corps]]. Dissatisfied with his lot, Whirl managed to accomplish what was thought impossible, defying the function he was created with and actually changing professions to become a watchmaker. And Whirl was ''good'' at what he did—so good that the [[Functionist Council]], angry that a moderate functionary had given him permission to switch jobs, decided to teach him a lesson. They had the local criminal elements demand a cut of his profits so that when he refused, the [[Heavies]] would be sent to destroy his business and leave the Council's hands 'clean'. Whirl was left destitute and roamed the [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]], where he hung out with a bad crowd and started getting into fights. His combat prowess caught the attention of the [[Senate]]'s agents, who press-ganged a reluctant Whirl into their service. Whirl was made to do despicable things in the Senate's employ. When he tried to resist, he was put through the barbaric [[empurata]] ritual, costing him his original hands and effectively neutering his watchmaking skills. The Senate had, in fact, been ''arranged'' to hire him for all this by the vindictive Functionist Council. {{storylink|Interiors}} {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Patternism}} {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 2: Stet|Stet}}

[[File:Ongoing22 WhirlbeatsMegatron.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|''I'M THE HERO I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!'']]
Whirl was eventually granted a position in the [[Rodion]] police force. When a rabble-rousing miner named [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] was brought in for brawling with other law enforcement officers, the Senate ordered Whirl to kill him, presumably to silence his increasingly loud voice of dissension. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1|Chaos Theory #1}} {{storylink|Interiors}} Failing to finish the job, Whirl was arrested by his captain [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Orion Pax]], so the Senate sent more men to free him, fearing his actions would be exposed. Their men attacked the Rodion police station and freed Whirl, but Orion Pax wouldn't stand for it and defeated them, shooting Whirl's leg off in the process. Whirl warned his captain that the Senate would not be happy if any further harm came to him, but Orion merely picked him up, went to the [[Grand Imperium]] in person and confronted the entire Senate with his actions. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 2|Chaos Theory #2}}

[[File:Whirl Impactor Patternism.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
Due to Orion Pax's public display of Whirl's crime, the Senate had no choice but to send him to [[Garrus-1]]. After Whirl's mistreatment of Megatron in Rodion was exposed, he found himself suffering constant attacks and beatings in prison by Decepticon sympathizers. Whirl saved his one [[communicube]] call for an appropriate occasion, and found it when his former handler [[Kroma]] briefly became his cellmate. Whirl was told of an impending Senate plot involving assassination and a city-destroying bomb. He consequently used his one call to bring Orion Pax to Garrus-1, where he informed his former captain of all he had heard. While Orion initially assumed Whirl was acting out of compassion, Whirl immediately corrected him, explaining that he just wanted revenge against the Senate for mutilating, using, and abandoning him. After Orion left, Whirl was introduced to his new cellmate—[[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]], who promptly beat him into critical condition. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Patternism}}

Whirl eventually wound up in the [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] Security Service, where he witnessed the full extent of what his actions had wrought, as Megatron, now convinced that violence was the only way forward, assaulted the city and slew [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], beginning the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}} Orion Pax—now Optimus Prime—personally invited Whirl to join the Autobots before the Decepticons reached him: "forgiveness as a weapon of war", as Whirl put it. After "bouncing around a bit", he changed his name to "Jetstream" and became a flight instructor at the [[Iaconian Aerial Academy]]. {{storylink|Interiors}}

One of his most promising cadets at the academy was [[Rotorstorm (G1)|Rotorstorm]], but he insisted on berating him in private, his verbal abuse eventually evolving into regular unprovoked beatings. After one particularly savage beating, "Jetstream" shoved Rotorstorm into the academy's newly installed [[CR chamber]], and by the time Rotorstorm recovered, his instructor had moved to a training facility in another province. Whirl later returned to using his original name, and attended the ceremony when Rotorstorm received the [[Novic Medal for Outstanding Valor]], applauding and cheering from the front row. {{storylink|Bullets}}

[[File:LastStandoftheWreckers4-triumphoverevil.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.66|Category: Things That Do Not Exist.]]
Whirl eventually joined the Autobot special operations taskforce, the Wreckers. He was with the team when they triumphed in final battle over their longtime rivals [[Squadron X]] on the planet [[Pova]], only to discover they had no jurisdiction on the planet and would be required to let the Squadron go. Refusing to accept this, Wrecker leader Impactor murdered the entire squadron while Whirl looked away in apparent shame, but took no action. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 4|Last Stand of the Wreckers #4}} {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}} The incident was covered up by [[Autobot High Command]], and to avoid being implicated in the crime alongside their leader, Whirl and the other Wreckers lied and told Springer that they had no idea what Impactor was planning on doing. Springer believed them and defended their inaction at Impactor's trial, also agreeing to become the new leader of the Wreckers at Whirl and the others' request. {{storylink|Zero Point}}

[[File:Spotlight Trailcutter Killmaster.jpg|thumb|upright=2|left]]

At some point during the war, Whirl established a rivalry with the wand-wielding Decepticon known as [[Killmaster]]. Both of them called each other "nemesis". Whirl never, ''ever'' beat him in a fight and always, ''always'' lied about to other Autobots. When Killmaster was MIA and presumed dead, Whirl told people he'd killed him after breaking into a medical center where Killmaster was recharging, crushing the Decepticon's brain as he slept, and shoving his wand up his—''AHEM!'' {{storylink|Cybertronian Homesick Blues}}{{storylink|Dissolution_Part_3:_A_World_Misplaced|A World Misplaced}}

[[File:Whirl copter Stormbringer4.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|Is [[Obsidian (BM)|"Obsidianesque"]] a word?]]
Years later, Whirl was deployed with the other Wreckers to [[Varas Centralus]] to help [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]]'s counter-insurgency team deal with the Decepticon [[infiltration protocol|infiltration team]] there, which had just activated Siege Mode. Partway into the battle, they were forced to pull out and return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when news came through of the possible resurgence of [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2|Stormbringer #2}} Arriving at their homeworld, the team saved the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] [[Nosecone (G1)|Nosecone]] and [[Afterburner (G1)|Afterburner]] from a patrol of [[Centurion droid]]s, then joined Optimus Prime in attacking [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s secret base. Whirl and Roadbuster helped Jetfire from his imprisonment, but they were too late: Bludgeon had indeed recalled Thunderwing home. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 3|Stormbringer #3}} Whirl joined Springer and [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] in attacking the mindless [[Pretender]], but their weapons were disabled when he ionized the air around them, forcing them to back off. Fortunately, a team of Decepticons led by [[Divebomb (G1)|Divebomb]] arrived to supplement the Autobot forces and the day was soon won. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}

The Wreckers got a rematch with Thunderwing some time later when the denizens of the [[Dead Universe]] took control of him and stationed him on [[Corata-Vaz]] to guard one of the [[Nega-Core]]s required for their [[Expansion]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}} Whirl fought hard alongside his teammates {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}} and eventually the Wreckers were able to disable the Nega-Core when [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] lost control of Thunderwing. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

During the [[Surge (event)|Surge]], when the Decepticons launched a devastating simultaneous attack against the Autobots across the galaxy—Whirl and several other Wreckers were captured by Decepticons under the command of [[Turmoil]]. [[Kup (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Kup]] led an extraction team to rescue the Autobots from a Decepticon cruiser, and they were ultimately saved thanks to the efforts the former Decepticon [[Drift (G1)|Drift]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Drift}}

[[File:Whirl Sparkeaterweapon Interiors.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|left|"What, ''this''? It's uhm...just his new [[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]] armor! Yeah, that's it."]]
Around three years later, when putting together a squad to liberate [[Garrus-9]] from the clutches of the deranged Decepticon [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]], Springer ruled Whirl out of the mission on account of his recently becoming something of a liability. {{storylink|Bullets}} The mission to Garrus-9 left Springer in a comatose state, and Whirl and Roadbuster were assigned the task of watching over him and tending to his needs until he awoke. Convinced that this was never going to happen, Whirl attempted to euthanize his leader with Roadbuster's [[Sparkeater (weapon)|Sparkeater weapon]], but was caught in the act by Roadbuster and ejected from the Wreckers by the power of "the veto"—the ability of a Wrecker to have another member of the unit removed at any time. {{storylink|Interiors}} He wound up in prison for his actions, but was released and given a "final warning" by Ultra Magnus to stay out of trouble. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|Hangers On}}

After the war was ended and Cybertron was returned to a primordial state, Whirl and [[Sideswipe (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Sideswipe]] were tasked with policing a mob of [[NAIL|neutral Transformers]] that had recently returned to Cybertron. They came upon Optimus Prime being harassed by [[Tappet|one of the mob]], and promptly began bullying the smaller neutral. Optimus Prime had to pointedly lower Whirl's gun and asked to be filled in on current events. Later, the mob revolted and dragged Whirl to the ground during the ensuing riot. {{storylink|Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime}}

[[File:Whirl Sweeps Liars.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Dear God...they're no longer mint in box!]]
Frustrated with the NAILs and having been kicked out of the Wreckers, Whirl acquired a disturbing method of stress relief: gathering up several leftover [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]] carcasses, pinning them to a wall inside a shabby structure out in Cybertron's wastelands, and apparently mutilating them. Eventually deciding that he'd had his fun, Whirl doused the ruins with fuel and bid a very creepy thank you and farewell to the remains, planning to burn it all—quite possibly, himself included. Interrupted by [[Cyclonus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Cyclonus]], who had misidentified the Sweeps' energy readings as those of [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], Whirl immediately attacked him and set the place ablaze to cover his tracks. Their battle carried them to the [[Mitteous Plateau]], where they were discovered by [[Ratchet (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ratchet]], [[Chromedome (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Chromedome]], and [[Rewind (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rewind]], prompting Whirl to try and pin all the blame on Cyclonus before killing him so he couldn't contradict his story. Before he could, however, a huge subterranean explosion triggered by [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]] erupted beneath Whirl, heavily damaging him and knocking him offline. Figuring that Whirl was too dangerous to leave lying around, Ratchet had him brought along with Tailgate aboard the ''[[Lost Light]]'' as it left Cybertron. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 1: How to Say Goodbye and Mean It|How to Say Goodbye and Mean It}}

[[File:HangersOn Whirl Cyclonus.jpg|thumb|left|110px|Expressions, glorious expressions!]]
Whirl awoke in the medibay of the ''Lost Light'', his first instinct being to reach out and throttle the nearest person to him, which turned out to be [[Rung (G1)|Rung]]. Brought to his senses with the warning that he'd go back to prison if he didn't behave, Whirl left to skulk around the hallways, where he was found by Ultra Magnus and brought him into a meeting between [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rodimus]] and Cyclonus. Advised to make his peace with Cyclonus, Whirl continued to dodge all responsibility for starting the fight but nonetheless offered him a hand of "forgiveness", only to have Cyclonus respond by drawing him into a ''hug''... followed by a whispered threat that he would kill him at some point and the Autobot would never see it coming.

Later, Rodimus addressed the crew to update them on the situation. When he asked if there were any important questions, Whirl made a point to speak up and state that he was embarrassed to be among this group and that they at least needed a decent name. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|Hangers On}}

When a [[Sparkeater (creature)|Sparkeater]] was reported to be loose on board the ''Lost Light'', the crew were ordered to pair off and lock themselves into habitation suites until the creature was dealt with. Being a jerk, Whirl locked himself in without waiting for his temporary roommate [[Animus]] and ignored the other Autobot's pleas to enter, resulting in his being killed by the Sparkeater. Whirl attacked the creature, but his missiles were intercepted by [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]'s [[force field]] to prevent the catastrophic detonation of the sparks the monster was digesting inside it. Whirl was nonplussed. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 3: The Chaos of Warm Things|The Chaos of Warm Things}}

During a therapy session with Rung, [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]]'s extra-sensitive ears overheard Whirl having a "blazing row" with...himself. {{storylink|How Ratchet Got His Hands Back}} Whirl later attempted to cheer up and advise a despondent Trailbreaker on changing his image. His advice consisted of telling Trailbreaker to change his name, always talk big of himself, and then suggested he get [[Brainstorm (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Brainstorm]] to build him a new weapon. After one of Brainstorm's inventions malfunctioned the entire crew of the ''Lost Light'', save the newly rechristened Trail''cutter'', were temporarily frozen in place when a [[Titan Hunter|group of Decepticons]] inconveniently boarded the ship. Whirl was in the middle of watching a furious Rodimus chew Rewind out on the bridge when he was frozen, and Trailcutter was forced to use his inert body as a shield against gunfire, stealing the guns mounted on Whirl's chest to return fire. {{storylink|The Reluctant Specialist}}

[[File:Whirl Interiors yes.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Whirl: '''1'''. {{-}} Hostage situation: '''-2'''.]]
Not long thereafter, Whirl was having a session with Rung when recent crew addition [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] had an acute psychotic episode and went on a rampage through the ship, holing up in Rung's office and immobilizing Whirl by stabbing him to the floor with a pipe. Unfazed, Whirl taunted Maximus, trying to bait him into killing him, but Maximus only grew more curious about Whirl's mental state and reputation, and threatened Rung in order to force Whirl into telling his life story. The story provided Rewind and [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]] enough time to position themselves outside Rung's office and distract Maximus with a projection of his tormentor, Overlord. Whirl used the distraction to tear the pipe out of his gut, unpinning himself from the floor. When a shot intended to take Maximus out went wild and hit Rung in the head instead, Whirl took the opportunity to stab the distraught Max with the pipe, ending the hostage situation after three-plus hours. {{storylink|Interiors}}

[[File:Whirl graffiti MTMTEAnnual2012.jpg|thumb|upright=1.15|left|"Yeah well, I'll build my own spaceship! With blackjack! And hookers! In fact, forget the spaceship!"]]
Whirl joined Rodimus, [[Skids (G1)|Skids]], and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] in being shrunk down and sent to deal with a swarm of [[Nanocon]]s that had been revived within Ultra Magnus's body, where he showed some difficulty with his "no guns" orders. After Magnus smiled them to death, Whirl managed to leave some graffiti inside Ultra Magnus, a fact that he would proudly inform First Aid of during Tailgate's [[Act of Affiliation]] ceremony.

Later, Whirl was among the Autobots that were teleported to the surface of [[Theophany]] by representatives of the [[Galactic Council]]. After the group found [[Crystal City]] in ruins, Whirl openly mocked Drift's despair at seeing the desolation and was decked by the former Decepticon for his irreverence. The group ventured into the ruins and soon discovered an inert [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]], which had once been used to power the city. An abortive attempt by Chromedome to hack into the giant's [[brain module]] accidentally woke the Titan, causing it to fire an eye-blast that hit the Council's ship, ''[[The Benign Intervention]]''. Whirl was ordered to take a team to hold off the troops sent to take revenge on the Cybertronians, with Rodimus stressing to the trigger-happy bot that there should be ''no fatalities''. Whirl and the others successfully fended off their attackers until the Autobots were all teleported back to the ''Lost Light'' by the freed Titan, before the ship quantum-jumped to safety. {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations}}

[[File:Mtmte-before-and-after-whirl-weaponup.jpg|thumb|upright=1.15|right]]
Whirl declined to attend Rewind's movie night when he learned the [[Proteus|subject matter]] of the film. {{storylink|Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|Who's Afraid of the DJD?}} He did, however, agree to aid in Rewind's attempt to expedite Rung's mental recovery. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|Post Hoc}} Rewind brought together a group who each took turns telling their parts in a story of past events from before the war. When Whirl's turn began, he became quite agitated when Ratchet brought up the tender subject of Whirl's encounter with Megatron in Rodion. He settled down and told the others of Orion Pax's visit to Garrus-1 and what they had discussed. When Whirl mentioned that Impactor was his cellmate for a while, Rewind became excited and posited that Impactor had earmarked Whirl then and there for the Wreckers. Whirl shot down that suggestion and admitted that he just got badly beaten-up and he and Impactor met again years later under different circumstances. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Patternism}} Everyone took a break from storytelling, giving Swerve an opportunity to leave and bring back some booze. Whirl wouldn't let him back into the room without uttering the password—''"Whirl is a million billion times tougher than Cyclonus"''. He later had fun positioning Rung's eyebrows to make the still-unresponsive psychiatrist look cross. {{storylink|Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|An Intimate Beheading}}

[[File:BeforeAndAfter-WhirlLocksCyclonusIn.jpg|thumb|upright|left]]
When Rodimus led a mission to [[Temptoria]] to fight Decepticons, Whirl was only too happy to volunteer. Aboard the ''[[Leading Light]]'', he had Rewind record him limbering up, and joined in with some impromptu battle chants with the other Autobots. As they fought Decepticons, his attempt to bond with Cyclonus was rebuffed rather bluntly. He subsequently faked a door malfunction, trapping Cyclonus and Rewind with an exploding bomb. He apparently at least had the courtesy to take Rewind back to the ''Leading Light'', and when it turned out he had a compatible [[spark]], allowed First Aid to use him to jumpstart Rewind, earning him Chromedome's gratitude. {{storylink|Before & After}}

Whirl tagged along with Swerve's group when the crew of the ''Lost Light'' was granted leave on the planet [[Hedonia]]. He was granted a new human-based [[holomatter]] avatar, which he seemed to approve of based solely on the fact that it carried weapons. When the group found a Transformer-friendly bar, Whirl got Ultra Magnus black-out drunk after slipping him a drink containing weapons-grade [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]], much to everyone's chagrin. While waiting for Magnus to regain consciousness, the group played "the nemesis game", each sharing their own personal arch-enemies. Whirl named Killmaster as his, and proceeded to describe the graphic nature of how he ended their rivalry before being cut off by Rung. When Magnus began to stir, the group left Swerve to deal with him and took a trip to a nearby gift shop. Whirl opted to remain outside and continually bang his head against a display case—something he felt relieved pressure on his brain. {{storylink|Cybertronian Homesick Blues}}{{storylink|Signal to Noise}}

[[File:Whirlholomatter.jpg|right|thumb|Because {{w|Carl Grimes|one trigger-happy kid with a missing eye}} wasn't bad enough.]]
Sometime later, the group encountered a group of [[Ammonite]]s—a mechanical race similar to Transformers who were entangled in a long and bitter war with their hated foes, the [[Terradore]]s. Whirl and Skids engaged in a bit of a "my war is bigger than yours" contest with them, with the Ammonites outclassing them in most categories. When [[Imperius Drax]], the leader of the Terradores unexpectedly entered the same bar as them, Whirl took it upon himself to show the Ammonites a thing or two about war. He walked up to chat with Drax, things escalated, and then Whirl simply killed the guy, which resulted in the war escalating again. {{storylink|Little Victories}}

Ultra Magnus was still out cold when they returned to check on him, so Whirl hatched a plan to get him back in time for pick-up. He ferried the others to the shuttle, then they projected their holomatter avatars back to the bar to drive Magnus's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] through an organics-only section. While forcing Magnus into vehicle mode proved difficult, they eventually managed it and drove him home. Whirl admitted to the others that, difficulties aside, he had a fun time. {{storylink|Cybertronian Homesick Blues}}

Whirl was among those interviewed for Rewind's documentary, "Little Victories". A "Person You'd Like To Punch" theme night at [[Swerve's]] had an overwhelming majority of people who attended pick Whirl. {{storylink|Little Victories}}

[[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] allowed Whirl to vent some frustration and blow up a few asteroids in the ''Lost Light''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s path. They were interrupted by [[Pipes (G1)|Pipes]], who wanted to record a message to send back to Cybertron whenever Blaster managed to repair the subspace communications channel. Whirl and Blaster would be the last Autobots to see Pipes alive, as the hapless [[Mini Vehicle|Minibot]] was murdered by [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] minutes later. Having escaped from his cell underneath the ''Lost Light'', Overlord was quickly discovered and dozens of Autobots threw themselves into battle with him. For Whirl's part, he only managed to be used as a club and smashed into [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] during the fight. {{storylink|Under Cold Blue Stars}} In the aftermath, Whirl attended the funeral of those who lost their lives fighting Overlord and engaged in some speculation with Swerve and Skids over what was in Brainstorm's ever-present briefcase. {{storylink|The Gloaming}}

[[File:Whirl Cyclonus HouseOfAmbus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.95]]
When a search for the abducted Ultra Magnus led the ''Lost Light'' to discover the long-missing [[Moonbase One|Luna 1]], Rodimus asked Whirl to be part of an advance landing party. Finding the "miracle moon" to be a hot spot seething with newborn [[spark]]s, Tailgate asked the others to define for him the difference between being "forged" and being "constructed cold". When Chromedome identified himself as someone who had been constructed cold, Whirl couldn't help but point out that he himself had been forged and "perfected" in a hot spot just like the one they were standing in. Shortly thereafter, the group was attacked by [[Lockdown (G1)|Lockdown]]'s [[Titan Hunter]]s, forcing Whirl and the others to flee from superior numbers. {{storylink|Remain in Light 1 of 5: The Fecund Moon|The Fecund Moon}} Retreating didn't sit well with Whirl, and he invited Cyclonus to join him in a counterattack on their pursuers. {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ambus}}

Their attack was successful only in that they didn't get captured along with the others. Whirl couldn't help himself in claiming that he had killed more Decepticons than Cyclonus during the battle. On smelling the enriched Nucleon of a nearby armory close to a jail suspended over a [[smelting pool]], Whirl was eager to organise a jailbreak to free Rodimus and the others.

In company with a far more cautious Cyclonus, Whirl found that he couldn't open the armory door due to his unwieldy claws and needed Cyclonus to help him. Occupied with the door mechanism, Cyclonus inquired of Whirl why he never had his empurata features "fixed". Whirl replied that he was messed up, that he had done and would continue to do bad things. While he remained angry about his mutilations, he was insulated against the voice of his conscience. If fixed he "really would be screwed". In the spirit of ''quid pro quo'' Whirl tried to ask Cyclonus about the gashes on his face, but the reply was lost when a stealthy [[Legislator]] stabbed Cyclonus through the midriff with his sword.

[[File:Whirl Cyclonus TheDividedSelf.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66|"You know what I keep thinking about, Cyclonus? You know the end of Butch Cassidy? Redford and Newman are almost out of ammunition, and the whole Bolivian army is out in front of this little hut?"{{-}} "Whirl, I'm going to make you pay for this."]]

Fortunately (or unfortunately) for Whirl, he fought Cyclonus's attacker off so that Cyclonus could remove the blade without too much injury. The pair then teamed up with other rescued prisoners, [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]] and the remaining survivors of the ill fated [[Circle of Light]], just as an army of Legislators attacked en masse. Whirl asked Cyclonus to call off his previous death threats if they made it out of the fight alive as they rushed into battle wielding [[Great Sword]]s procured from the armory. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}}

In the middle of the battle Whirl noticed something very unusual about Cyclonus's Great Sword, it was, in Whirl's words, "frikkin nuclear-powered", glowing with light and cutting a swathe through the attacking Legislator army. Cyclonus had a surprisingly deep connection with his sword for a novice, as only Dai Atlas could manage a similar feat with his own sword. Dai Atlas suggested to Whirl that "your friend is clearly ''devout''". Whirl was more surprised by the use of the word "friend" than the rest of Atlas's explanation.

However much headway they were making, it wasn't fast enough for Cyclonus. Cyclonus's rather obtuse comment of being "needed elsewhere" made Whirl respond cattily that he was dragging their battle out for fun, that he would just finish up himself. Dai Atlas asked Cyclonus if Whirl was being sarcastic, and Cyclonus replied that he didn't believe that even Whirl knew. {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}}

Whirl and the surviving members of the Circle of Light continued to fight the Legislators, but they were eventually overwhelmed. Moments from being killed, Whirl was saved when Chief Justice [[Tyrest (G1)|Tyrest]] called all remaining Legislators to his position. In the battle's aftermath, Whirl and Cyclonus conferred on the edge of the smelting pool. A heavily-damaged and unable-to-fly Whirl asked Cyclonus if he was still willing to let bygones be bygones in regards to their mutual death threats against one another. Despite briefly entertaining a fantasy of shoving Whirl into the smelting pool, a preoccupied Cyclonus agreed and departed.

Later aboard the ''Lost Light'', Whirl would reveal that Dai Atlas had commented on the unnatural strength of Cyclonus's spark—demonstrated while Cyclonus was wielding a Great Sword. Atlas had wondered if Cyclonus had the spark of a newborn with the intense energy he was producing. Relaying this information to Cyclonus, Whirl indirectly helped save Tailgate's life, as Cyclonus consequently used his excess spark energy to revitalize his dying roommate. {{storylink|Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|This Calamitous Life}}

[[File:Whirl fightfightfight BlackMetal.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66]]
The ''Lost Light'' received a distress call from Orion Pax and headed to [[Gorlam Prime]]. They rescued the ''[[Skyroller]]'' from the collapsing planet's gravity well and welcomed Orion and his crew aboard. Whirl derived amusement from [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]]'s outright hostility toward Cyclonus. {{storylink|Dark Dawn: Dark Cybertron Chapter 1|Dark Dawn}} Later, when Orion and Rodimus were looking for volunteers to journey into the [[Dead Universe]], Hardhead took another verbal potshot at Cyclonus. Whirl was gleeful at first, but then disappointed when they didn't come to blows. {{storylink|Black Metal: Dark Cybertron Chapter 2|Black Metal}}

After the ''Lost Light'' was by guided by to an unknown planet, the Autobots found themselves underwater and attacked by thousands of Ammonites. Whirl was among those who boarded the [[Rodpod]] to launch a counterattack. Eventually, the Autobots found the inert [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] hiding on the ocean floor. {{storylink|Into the Abyss: Dark Cybertron Chapter 4|Into the Abyss}}

The Rodpod entered Metroplex's empty eye socket and made its way to the [[Brain module|brain]], where the group discovered it missing. The Autobots disembarked and after journeying around in Metroplex's head for a brief time, they ended up right back where they started at the Rodpod. Whirl took his frustration out on the garish vehicle, but it was soon discovered to be booby-trapped by an Ammonite. {{storylink|No Exit: Dark Cybertron Chapter 6|No Exit}} The Rodpod exploded, but the Autobots were shielded from the blast by a wall that had suddenly sprung up within the chamber. Ratchet worryingly noticed that Whirl had gone missing in the chaos. Whirl quickly returned, however, having captured the Ammonite that blew up the Rodpod. After some strong-arming, the Ammonite revealed that they had been ordered by [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]] to sabotage the ''Lost Light''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s efforts to return to Cybertron. Before the Autobots could discuss these revelations further, they were confronted by [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]] and [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]]. {{storylink|The Dead Are Not Enough: Dark Cybertron Chapter 7|The Dead Are Not Enough}}

After a brief introduction, the two [[Female Transformer|female]] Autobots offered to lead the others to Metroplex's brain. Another horde of Ammonites appeared, and Ultra Magnus ordered the others to follow Nautica and Chromia. Whirl opted to stay behind and fight the Ammonites with a few others, noting that he was in his element in battle. Eventually, the Autobots were able to connect Metroplex to the ''Lost Light'', which he used as a makeshift life support system. He quantum-jumped back to Cybertron, bringing the ''Lost Light'' with him. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} Unfortunately, this didn't solve the problem of the Ammonite infestation, and Whirl's group was still fighting for their lives within Metroplex as the giant Autobot squared off with the [[Necrotitan]]. The Ammonites kept combining into larger and larger forms, prompting Whirl to admit that even he was tired of fighting with them. Thankfully, through the efforts of [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]] and Megatron, Metroplex was given a sudden boost of power, which reactivated his internal defenses. This immediately eliminated any Ammonite invaders, with Whirl charmingly referring to them as being "deader than a [[Duobot]]". {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}}

[[File:Whirl Arcee DCFinale.jpg|thumb|upright=1.56|Arcee knows that when things aren't [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave's]] fault, they're almost certainly Whirl's.]]
After the Necrotitan was felled, Whirl, putting aside past enmities he may have for the Decepticons, sang along to a tune alongside several of them in Swerve's bar, including [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]], [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], and [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]]. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} The moment of levity was cut short, however, by the arrival of a 70 ''billion''-strong Ammonite army. Whirl was once again thrust into Ammonite-murdering duty. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}} Whirl joked around with [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] about accidentally causing the re-escalation amongst the Ammonites' war, and made a little remark about his role in the start of their own war. When the Ammonites all spontaneously exploded, Whirl called foul on the whole thing for ruining his fun. {{storylink|...And the Damage Done: Dark Cybertron Finale|...And the Damage Done}}

[[File:Whirl Megatron MTMTE28.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.45|''HUEVOS RANCHEROS!!!'']]
Whirl attended Megatron's trial, standing next to Arcee. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|Words Hang in the Air}}

Six months after that, Whirl was still on board the ''Lost Light'', only this time due to a series of events, the captain (or rather, co-captain) of the ship was, in fact, Megatron. Whirl began collaborating with [[Getaway]] and [[Atomizer]] to bait Megatron into attacking an Autobot so that they would have an excuse to have him re-imprisoned. {{storylink|The Lopsided Triangle}} Whirl first messed up Megatron's door with graffiti, and then attacked him with a crossbow before making a physical assaulted. Whirl claimed that he was tired of waiting for Megatron to make his first move, and had instead taken the initiative. However, the fight offered a shocking revelation from Megatron: the only reason Whirl had survived for so long was because Megatron had ensured it by giving an order for the Decepticons never to kill Whirl as a kind of 'gratitude' for teaching him that words were not enough—informing the ex-Wrecker that he was not as good a fighter as he, or other Autobots, believed. The enraged Whirl attempted to punch a hole in Megatron's torso, only to lose his arm through a wormhole within the ex-Decepticon. Megatron then used his revelation as leverage to get the humiliated Whirl to clean up the graffiti and left him in the engine rooms. Whirl later reported to his co-conspirators with a communicator that his attempt to bait Megatron into attacking him had failed. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}}

Whirl and his co-conspirators began planning to manipulate an Autobot into being assaulted or killed by the ex-con; once that happened, Autobot security would either arrest or kill Megatron. Getaway decided Tailgate would be the perfect patsy. {{storylink|The Lopsided Triangle}}

Later on, suspected to be behind the theft of Ultra Magnus's desk tidy (which was more likely caused by the ship disappearing piece by piece), Whirl was confined to his quarters. As 'protest' for this, Whirl watched off-world cinema at Swerve's using his holomatter avatar. While braiding his hair, Whirl revealed that he was a fan of Jean-Luc Godard's works. During the subsequent alarm as portions of the ''Lost Light'' began to disappear, Whirl's holomatter disappeared. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|Predestination: A Beginner's Guide}} Whether he made it to a lifepod or not, Whirl presumably disappeared along with the rest of the original crew of the ''Lost Light''. {{storylink|Twenty Plus One}}

Eventually, the remaining crew found the ruins of a quantum duplicate ''Lost Light'', which had been attacked by the [[Decepticon Justice Division]]. The on-course ''Lost Light''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Whirl had his arms torn off before having his head blown off by [[Kaon (DJD)|Kaon]]. {{storylink|slaughterhouse}}

Whirl was part of Rodimus' intrepid band of heroes chosen to chase down the rogue Brainstorm and gleefully raided Brainstorm's experimental weaponry. When asked by Magnus on why Rodimus would bring Whirl on such a high risk mission, Rodimus answered it was because Whirl would be eager to take a bullet for Orion Pax. The group travelled back to the [[Alyon]] [[Hot spot|hot spot]] where Whirl bluffed to the past Orion Pax that he was on day release from prison. When the larger group regrouped to compare notes, they realized that Sentinel wasn't trying to snuff out the Sparks but was experimenting on them with Whirl putting forth the idea that the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] had assumed Orion's group was trying to steal the Sparks. After the Sparks had been shielded by Trailbreaker's forcefield, Whirl joined Cyclonus in attacking the hovering weapons platform. When that mess was sorted, the group continued to follow Brainstorm but Whirl (unlike everyone else) expressed no grief that they had not prevented Trailbreaker's death. {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 1: All Our Parlous Yesterdays|All Our Parlous Yesterdays}}

Travelling further back to [[Rodion]], Whirl exchanged (rather terrible) banter with Rodimus as they overlooked the police station. After Brainstorm had escaped Cyclonus, the group followed him back a year and split up. Whirl went with Chromedome and Rewind back to the police station and interrupted their tense, romantic conversation to show off his past self's arrest of [[Crossbar]] giddily realizing this was the day Megatron would be arrested. His good mood was ruined when the [[Heavies]] arrived. Utterly trashing them, Whirl was only stopped by Chromedome as the Heavies had to live to ensure future (past?) events happened as they had. Hammer had heard everything about the future and proceeded to taunt Whirl that they had mutilated him at the order of the [[Functionist Council]]. In rage, Whirl turned the [[Sparkeater Gun]] on the third chap who'd come with them declaring him guilty by association. {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 2: Stet|Stet}}

The group then arrived at [[Con Facility 113]] and though Rodimus and Rung had talked down Brainstorm, Rewind killed the unborn Megatron convinced the galaxy would be a better place without him as the myriad of aliens would survive despite the Functionists remaining in power. Whirl respectfully disagreed as he felt countless aliens (they were organics anyway) dying was a price worth paying if it meant Megatron would kill the Functionists and thus inserted a [[Point One Percenter]] Spark that Brainstorm had swiped from [[Moonbase One|Luna 1]] into Megatron's body, securing the timeline. Upon returning to the ''Lost Light'', Whirl joined the crew in movie night for ''{{w|Back to the Future Part II|}}'' but found it inferior to {{w|Alphaville (film)|''Alphaville''}}. {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 3: Predestination: An Expert's Guide|Predestination: An Expert's Guide}}

At some point, he scrawled "WHIRL WUZ HERE" on a chair in Swerve's. {{storylink|Our Steps Will Always Rhyme}} He was present at Rodimus's first real announcement of progress. He went to Thunderclash's pre-wake, did some crazy dancing, and returned to the ''Lost Light'' with most of the crew. {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}}

Later on, Cyclonus went to Whirl's room to ask for advice on Tailgate and Getaway. Whirl was astonished and amused that Cyclonus would ever ask him for advice on such a personal matter, and pointed out that saving Tailgate's life and caring about him did not make him Cyclonus' property. He also pointed out that Cyclonus hadn't really shown Tailgate he cared, while Getaway did so. Just as Cyclonus was about to leave, Whirl asked why he came to him. Cyclonus replied that he believed Whirl would tell him the truth, because Whirl didn't care about what he (or anybody) thought. Troubled, Whirl summoned Getaway and [[Atomizer]], with whom he was working to bring belated justice to Megatron. Whirl was having second thoughts about their plan to bring about Megatron's downfall if it resulted in Tailgate's murder. Getaway shot him in the head with a nudge gun, wiping Whirl's memories of the plan. Just before he passed out, Whirl projected his avatar outside Cyclonus' staring-window. Cyclonus rushed to Whirl's room to find out what was going on, only to find Whirl possessed no memory of their earlier conversation, and all of his digital clocks had been set to 1:13 - Megatron's room number. {{storylink|The Lopsided Triangle}}

Later, Brainstorm's contrivance engine was due to be activated, and despite only having 15 minutes to get to their B.E.D.s, Whirl, Swerve, and Nautica loitered to get drunk off sub-space filtered engex. They then heard a knock at the bar door. Whirl answered and found a new [[protoform]] in an engex box. Since they couldn't afford to risk the extra spark being detected by Maulers, the group decided to send it back to Luna 1. After various escapades, Whirl was left 'holding the baby'. Worse, when he decided the only remaining option to protect the crew was to flush it out the airlock, he discovered it had imprinted on him, adopting claws and a singular optic. Whirl gave in to his remaining threads of compassion and soft-terminated his own spark to hide the protoform with him in his B.E.D. He later woke up in the med-bay, with Velocity telling him he was lucky to be alive. Oh, and that it wasn't a protoform he was incubating—it was an infestation of [[Scraplet]]s, manipulating him so that they could survive to kill again. But Whirl wasn't upset... he was ''proud'' of the little pests. {{storylink|Silent Light}}

Whirl invited Megatron to the regular Movie Night. Don't worry, he hadn't mellowed out, he was being a dick: the film was a war documentary and watching it would make Megatron unhappy. When Megatron was late, they passed the time by starting without him. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}}

Soon after, Whirl was part of a group that observed the second launch of the ''Lost Light'' via a magic window unaware that he and the others were being observed by a repentant [[Getaway]] from further in the future. {{storylink|No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases}}

As revenge, for turning his back on the mutiny, Mainframe tricked Whirl into boarding the [[Rodpod]] to be turned over to the [[Galactic Council]] on [[Necroworld]]. When the group arrived they were attacked by the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] and barricaded themselves in the [[Censere|Necrobot's]] "fortress" with Whirl glaring at Getaway when they made contact with him. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}}

Three weeks after the mutiny, a broadcast went through space of the abandoned crewmembers, guns to their heads, recording how they wanted their corpses to be disposed of. Whirl wanted no funeral. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}}

No sooner had Whirl voiced his protest at simply sitting inside and dying did the attackers back off, promising to return at sunset. When the group split to explore the fortress, Nightbeat had come through by discovering a teleport chamber. Nautica, Velocity and Swerve however had discovered a chamber full of stasis pods containing organic lifeforms, lifeforms Whirl was eager to abandon. But after Megatron had made a rousing speech about understanding and companionship, Whirl decided to stay behind. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 2: The Sun in Flight|The Sun in Flight}} As sunset approached and a forcefield had been set up, Whirl and Cyclnous finished the turrets and discussed relationships. But when Whirl tried to fire on the baddies however, it turned out the forcefield worked in both directions preventing the turrets from being used. When nightfall arrived, Whirl joined everyone for a group hug. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 4: At Close of Day|At Close of Day}} The single most important group hug ever as Tailgate's strong grip had given Velocity the idea to temporarily boost everyone to [[Outlier]] levels via traumatizing someone. That someone was Skids and after his Spark unleashed a burst of energy, {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 5: Rage, Rage|Rage, Rage}} the new superpowered Autobots charged out to meet their fates. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 4: At Close of Day|At Close of Day}}

But when Skids died, the upgrade went with him and the group was surrounded to be saved by Megatron now having donned a [[Fusion cannon|fusion cannon]] and irritably told the crew to fall back while he confronted [[Tarn (DJD)|Tarn]]. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 5: Rage, Rage|Rage, Rage}} Whirl went off to explore the fortress and found his severed arm which Ravage realized was the clue that Megatron had figured out how to safely mine [[Antimatter|antimatter]] which he used to slay his foes. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 6: Do Not Go Gentle|Do Not Go Gentle}}

When Brainstorm had rebuilt the teleport chamber and Rodimus took a group to go back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and find a new ship, Whirl was told by Rodimus to tell Cyclonus that he was in charge and told that Rodimus wouldn't even trust Whirl to be in charge of his own feet. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 1: Some Other Cybertron|Some Other Cybertron}}

Called down to find a closed, ''massive'', stasis pod and utterly bored, Whirl released the 'bot inside and found it was Killmaster, his old nemesis. The Decepticon immediately went on a rampage ("what a pro") and the two rivals once again engaged in combat... combat that Whirl admitted he needed help with, telling Swerve he'd never won before and screaming for him to get Tailgate. Help arrived in the form of a badly wounded Cyclonus, much to Whirl's dismay. Ten and Swerve got zapped by Killmaster's teleporting wand {{storylink|Dissolution Part 3: A World Misplaced|A World Misplaced}} before Cyclonus was able to lop his arm off and Whirl used the wand on ''Killmaster''. Before they went to Brainstorm to get Swerve and Ten teleported back, Whirl probed Cyclonus's cover story about his wounds and learned Tailgate had been fitting in his sleep. Cyclonus refused Whirl's advice about telling Tailgate the truth before it killed him, so Whirl — refusing Cyconus' advice to drop it — crept into Tailgate's room to tell him "a story". {{storylink|Dissolution_Part_4: Bad Moon Rising|Bad Moon Rising}} After telling Tailgate the truth behind Cyclonus' wounds, he accompanied the minibot back to the main room and discussed Killmaster's inventions, with Whirl commenting that the only thing Killmaster loved more than teleportation weaponry was killing. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 5: Modes of Production|Modes of Production}} He was present to greet the returning crew when [[Necroworld]] returned to its own universe. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 6: This Machine Kills Fascists|This Machine Kills Fascists}} When Rodimus revealed his [[Skip|back-up plan to return to Cybertron]], Whirl asked if they could leave Swerve behind. Once the team was ready to take off, Whirl stopped Cyclonus from mutilating himself, following his and Tailgate's "breakup", and sat next to him for support. {{storylink|After Megatron (A Dissolution Epilogue)|After Megatron}}

===''Transformers Legends'' comic===
[[File:LG04 comic Roadbuster.jpg|thumb|]]
Whirl and [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]] were built in the [[Legends World]] by [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]], inspired by designs from a {{w|Special Armored Battalion Dorvack|certain '80s giant robot anime}}, to aid him in his plans to return the world to how it was in the '80s. In spite of Tankor's design intentions, however, [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] recognized them as Autobots from a [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|British ''Transformers'' comic]], an origin story that confused the pair. Setting out to take humans hostage to further their cause, Whirl then encountered an [[Whirl's friend|innocent little girl]] and had a change of heart about his role in life. Placing the girl in his chest canopy, he decided to fight for her sake as a hero of justice and turned on Roadbuster, only to later get admonished by the girl for being too violent. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 4|Bonus Edition Vol. 4}} [[File:LG05 comic Whirl.jpg|thumb|left]] Entrusted with Tankor's '80s Transformation Beam, Roadbuster then started turning everyone present into various '80s forms, though the weapon didn't affect Whirl since he was already from the 80s. When Tankor resolve was broken by a speech from [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], Whirl took the chance to air-drop the rat onto the villains like a bomb, defeating Roadbuster. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 5|Bonus Edition Vol. 5}}

Waspinator later taught [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] about Whirl and Roadbuster during his ''Transformers'' lesson, again explaining that they first appeared in a British comic. The concept of British Transformers had Megatron thinking of the pair as English stereotypes, imagining Whirl as a gentleman in a top hat and monocle, and he confused himself thinking about how Whirl could enjoy a cup of tea without a mouth. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 15#Whirl and Roadbuster Now on Sale, Buzz|Whirl and Roadbuster Now on Sale, Buzz}} On [[Christmas]], Whirl and his little girl friend watched charitable Roadbuster and Tankor give away 80s toys. {{storylink|Merry X'mas!!}}

Running into Roadbuster again while spending time with the girl, Whirl took his new friend hostage to prevent Roadbuster from attacking, shocking his former partner with the decidedly un-heroic act. The girl was upset and took control of Whirl from the inside, forcing him to heroically pick up garbage instead. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 17#Whirl Versus Roadbuster!|Whirl Versus Roadbuster!}} For some undisclosed reason, Whirl eventually returned to Tankor and Roadbuster's side and the three went back to terrorizing the population, but it all came to an end when a dimensionally-displaced [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] defeated Tankor for good. Whirl and Roadbuster were left lost and confused about what to without their leader, so Jetfire invited them back to his [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|home dimension]], reasoning they would fit in better there. The pair accepted his offer and traveled through a [[solitarium]] portal to his universe, where they joined the Autobots and became founding members of a new unit: the Wreckers. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 7|Bonus Edition Vol. 7}}

In the year [[2021]] of this universe, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] recalled Whirl and Roadbuster's origins when he and his soldiers were reduced to heads and needed new bodies built. Using residual radiation acquired from the two Wreckers, Fortress located the Legends Universe and traveled there in search of the expertise used to build them. {{storylink|Headmaster Chapter Prologue}}

As Wreckers, Whirl and Roadbuster fought under [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] for many years. In the late [[2030]]s, they noticed their leader was starting to get fat, and Whirl accidentally hurt him by bluntly commenting that his neglect for his appearance was the reason his relationship with [[Arcee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Arcee]] had failed. Springer then sought to become his old macho self again, so Whirl and Roadbuster suggested he go to the Legends Universe and have their creator, Tankor (now [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]), build him a cool new body. They two came with him for a chance to revisit their old home, where Whirl was reunited with his friend and let her sit inside him again. {{storylink|LG19 Sprung Prologue}}

*'''Whirl''' (Deluxe Vehicle, [[1985]])
**''Accessories'': "Null-Ray Module", "[[Paralyzo box]]", "Photon Beam Rifle", "Shell Cannon"

:Whirl transforms into a light blue Cybertronian attack helicopter, similar to a Bell [[Wikipedia:AH-1 Cobra|AH-1 Cobra]]. In this mode, he has two wing-mounted weapons installed: a Gatling-like "Shell Cannon" and a four-tube "Photon Beam Rifle". Both [[Deluxe Vehicle]]s were licensed from [[Takatoku Toys]] by [[Hasbro]] for inclusion in the 1985 line, and hence were not included in the Japanese line. Whirl was originally the "Oberon Gazette" from the ''Armored Trooper Dorvack'' toyline, although the toy's dark and light blues were inverted for the ''Transformers'' release.

:In [[robot mode]], Whirl is unusual in that he appears quite different from the other Transformers in the line at the time. He has no humanoid hands; instead, his arms end in a pair of mechanical pincers. A "[[Null-ray|Null-Ray]] Module" cannon can be fitted over either pincer, while his "Paralyzo-Box" weapon slides onto the fin on his right leg.

:There is a variation in the construction of his canopy; while most are smooth and featureless, some have raised "cage" outlines on the edges.

**''Accessories'': Rotor blade

:A [[redeco]] of ''[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends of Cybertron]]'' [[Evac (Cybertron)#Cybertron|Evac]], Whirl transforms into a blue Eurocopter Dauphin rescue helicopter. A ''heavily'' simplified version of the Voyager Class Evac toy, his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] has a back mounted (non-firing) twin missile launcher which is carried onto his robot mode, and he is also armed with a rotor blade on his left arm which can rotate, but does not spin freely.

:In terms of articulation, he has ball-jointed hips and knees and can rotate his arms, although the arms can otherwise barely move beyond pointing straight down due to his ball-jointed shoulders being blocked by plastic.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Blades (G1)#LOC|Blades]].

*'''Autobot Whirl''' (Voyager, [[2014]])
**''Series / Number:'' '''02 / 006'''
**''Accessories'': Null-Ray Module, Paralyzo box, Shell Cannon, Photon Beam Rifle

: Whirl is heavily styled after his Generation 1 toy, but sports a more curved head and reverse knee "chicken legs" which evoke (but do not match) his appearance in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]''. He also has a third, Gerwalk-esque mode known as a "Heloped". Just as with his original toy, he has a pair of mechanical pincers which a weapon similar to his "Null-Ray Module" cannon can be fitted over. All four of his weapons can attach via c-clips to various sculpted rods.

:Unmentioned in the instruction sheet is that his shoulder-struts can collapse into his torso for a more pleasing robot mode. Also, in robot mode, you can rotate the shoulder-struts so that the thin tabs on top face down to allow for greater shoulder poseability. It's also likely that the knee transformations are swapped between robot and heloped mode in the instructions, so that the robot mode has the digitigrade legs and the heloped mode has the "gerwalk"-style backwards knees, and this hypothesis is supported by the [[:File:RID26 subcvr.jpg|packaging art]]. A smaller detail of note is that Whirl's neck is on an extra hinged panel that allows the head to be raised up a few millimeters from where it normally sits.

:Whirl comes with a sticker sheet, with one sticker referencing [[Wild Bill|CW-4 William S. Hardy]].

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Cloud|Shockwave]].

:''Legends'' Whirl is a redeco of ''Generations'' Whirl featuring a lighter blue closer to his original toy and additional paint detail on his canopy and shoulders but dropping the black off his nape and the red stripe pattern on his rotor blades. Some of his black plastic (on his toes and head) is replaced with blue. The antenna mounted on his head is angled 45 degrees lower towards the front as opposed to the 90 degrees in the Generations version. He doesn't have a sticker sheet, though two of his Autobot symbols and a single canopy detailing are now tampographed. He now comes with a leaflet featuring a character profile, tech specs, and [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 5|volume 5]] of the ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Transformers Legends]] Comic: Bonus Edition'' mini-comic.

*'''Whirl''' (2007)

:A 30-point "rare" character in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]'s "Energon Wars" expansion, Whirl "transforms" into a blue helicopter. He uses the same parts layout as [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]], and [[Stormcloud (Energon)|Vortex]].

==Notes==
*Poor Whirl never got a printed ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' bio. One was written though, and finally revealed to the fans on [http://boltax.blogspot.com/2011/01/extended-bio-whirl.html ''Disciples of Boltax''] in 2011.
*Like all non-toy robot [[Kreon]]s in the ''Kre-O'' comics, Whirl is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses [[Knock Out (Kre-O)|Knock Out]]'s helmet (in order to better emulate his appearance in the [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] [[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|''More Than Meets the Eye'' comics]]) and the Vortex rotor/harness assembly... and a yellow brick on the front of the harness, likely a sloped 1x1 brick to be the "cockpit".
*''Cloud'' Whirl is a minor "virtual redeco" of [[Whirl (FOC)|''Fall of Cybertron'' Whirl]].

However,when adding new information, please ensure that it is:
*official - the Nitro toy has only been revealed through unofficial leaks, so it cannot be covered by the wiki yet. See [[Help:Official info]] for more details.
*accurate - multiple people have confirmed at this point that the Optimus Prime stock photos seen in Argos catalogues are being mistakenly used to represent the regular new-mould TLK Voyager Optimus. The DOTM redeco's ''actual'' avenue of release is currently unknown.

{{disambig3|Broadside}}
:''Broadside is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:DW G1Broadside.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Every mode is a loser.]]
'''Broadside''' is a huge loser. He's the forgotten Autobot [[Triple Changer]] who turns into either a tiny aircraft carrier and a jet, or an impossibly large "jet" and an aircraft carrier. Broadside also happens to be terrified of heights. And gets seasick on the water.

His life must ''suuuuuuck''.

Fortunately, as one of the [[Wrecker]]s, Broadside is almost constantly shooting the [[Slag (slang)|slag]] out of [[Decepticon]]s, which is probably a good outlet for any frustration.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
[[File:Triplechangerstarget2006.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|No colors yet. That comes later.]]
''Broadside and his fellow [[Triple Changer]]s were late recruits into [[Operation: Volcano]] by [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]], taking the place of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] in the battle scenario. [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]] decided to the best way to convince [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]] that Broadside, [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], and [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] were up to replace Magnus was by having them pretend to be Decepticons and beating the [[Slag (slang)|slag]] out of him. Their display impressed the Wreckers leader, and the Triple Changers quickly begun training in [[Debris]]. Their introduction into the Wreckers was marred with tragedy, however, as Impactor was killed when Volcano finally went down. Springer succeeded Impactor as squad leader.'' {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

''The Autobots' informants learned that there was a Decepticon spy posing as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] on Cybertron, out to infiltrate their ranks. The Wreckers were sent to pursue this imposter. In due course, Broadside, Springer, Sandstorm, and [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] managed to track down the "spy" after he had already escaped from the Wreckers once with the help of [[Outback (G1)|Outback]]. Before they could execute him, they were ordered to stand down by Ultra Magnus and Emirate Xaaron, who had learned that the Autobots had been fed false information; before them was the real Optimus Prime.'' {{storylink|Distant Thunder!}} ''With his name cleared, Optimus led several raids on Decepticon encampments in which Broadside participated. The last of these raids saw Optimus off to [[Earth]], as he and Ultra Magnus battled [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] while Broadside and the others kept the Decepticon rank-and-file busy.'' {{storylink|Resurrection!}}

[[File:Technician wreckers legion of the lost.jpg|thumb|upright=2]]
''After Prime had left, [[Autobase]] was moved to [[Kalis]] and was soon rocked by a huge explosion. Believing the explosion to be caused by an underground reactor, Broadside and the other Wreckers searched in vain for the chamber. Upon their return to headquarters, the Autobots were overcome by a legion of [[zombie]]s! Springer, still ill-at-ease in his role as leader, floundered when the shambling horde burst through the floor, and without anyone to coordinate them, the Wreckers were easily vanquished. They were captured by the undead horde's controller, [[Flame (Marvel)|Flame]], fitted with [[inhibitor band]]s, and detained within an underground cell. Though things seemed grim, Springer regained his senses following a pep-talk from Xaaron and managed to escape.'' {{storylink|Legion of the Lost!}}

[[File:Wreckers magnus meltdown.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]
''Broadside and the rest of the Wreckers managed to break out of their cell as well, reacquired their weapons, and once more took up the fight against the zombies patrolling Flame's headquarters. They then bumped into a returning Springer, now accompanied by Ultra Magnus, [[Fizzle]], [[Sizzle (G1)|Sizzle]], and [[Guzzle (G1)|Guzzle]]. Unfortunately, any further progress towards Flame's inner sanctum was blocked off by a massive blast door. Springer and Broadside headed back for the surface in order to procure the heavy armament necessary to breach it, only to bump into [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] en-route. Though taken aback at first, Broadside learned that the behemoth had arrived to repay a favor that fellow Decepticon [[Flywheels]] owed Ultra Magnus. With his help, the Autobots reached Flame, albeit a bit too late. The madbot's machines had already destabilized, and the countdown to Cybertron's destruction had begun. While Springer, Ultra Magnus, and Xaaron dealt with Flame, the rest of the group cut through the remnants of madbot's zombie army, and headed back to the surface. There, Broadside learned that a zombified Impactor had sacrificed himself in order to prevent the whole planet from blowing up. The Autobots stood in solemn silence to honor Impactor's heroic passing.'' {{storylink|Meltdown!}}

[[File:WreckingHavoc-yourfoe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8]]
''The Wreckers next prepared for their next mission: to travel to [[Earth]] and do battle against the [[Time travel|future]] Decepticon [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. Broadside helped put together the Wrecker's weapons stockpile in anticipation for this task.'' {{storylink|Deadly Games!}} ''Their mission nearly proved to be a complete disaster, however, as the Wreckers blindly portal-jumped onto Galvatron's coordinates, only to find themselves in the middle of a populated human city, surrounded by potential civilian casualties. Worse yet, Glavatron wasn't alone; with him were fellow future Decepticons [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]. Nonetheless, the Wreckers were forced to engage the enemy units, with Broadside managing to tackle Galvatron... only for his target to retaliate with a devastating right-hook to his face. Galvatron, thoroughly unimpressed with the Wreckers, proceeded to beat the snot out of them all. In order to bring an end to the fight, and any further damage to the city they were in, Springer lured Cyclonus and Scourge away, leaving the rest of his team with the opportunity to gang up on Galvatron. But Galvatron pointed out to them that Springer would surely die if pitted against both his cronies alone... Broadside and the others were forced to go after their commander, despite it meaning that Galvatron would get away from them. Their mission gone completely awry, Springer called for the Wreckers to return to Cybertron and plan anew.'' {{storylink|Wrecking Havoc}}

[[File:Advance surveillance unit firebug.jpg|thumb|left]]
''In order to guard against future problems such as the ones the Wreckers had encountered in their previous outing, Xaaron assigned Broadside, [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] and Sandstorm to Earth full time as an [[Advance Surveillance Unit]], gathering information on the planet so that they would be better prepared for the next battle with Galvatron. Though Broadside wanted to follow Xaaron's instructions to the letter, and not involve themselves in human affairs, his two teammates convinced him to nonetheless help out some humans whose town had been set ablaze. While evacuating the townsfolk, the Autobots discovered that the fire had been started by an alien lifeform, a cute-but-dangerous [[Firebug (G1)|Firebug]]. Broadside was all too willing to simply destroy the pest, but Inferno convinced him instead to send it off to [[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]], where it wouldn't pose a danger to anyone else.'' {{storylink|Firebug!}} ''Later, the three Autobots caused a panic when they tried to celebrate [[Christmas]] with a bunch of humans, leaving the town of [[Border Flats]] in ruins as a result. Broadside and his teammates made themselves scarce, only for the Autobot [[Powermaster]]s to track them down and attack, thinking they were dealing with a trio of Decepticon trouble-makers. Suitably ashamed of the damage they had caused, the Advance Surveillance Unit apologized for the misunderstanding. As the Autobots settled down, Optimus Prime joined them to impart on Broadside and the rest about their responsibility to the planet.'' {{storylink|Cold Comfort and Joy!}}

[[File:Broadsidetotaled.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|In the UK, I was replaced by some other dude!]]
Broadside was present to watch [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] duke it out on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] over leadership of the Autobot forces. The proceedings were interrupted by a massive Decepticon attack, however, which sent the Autobots scrambling until Blaster and Grimlock were able to put aside their differences, and rally their forces into a counter-attack. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

{{note|Broadside's appearance on the Moon in US #41 is his only appearance in the American Generation 1 comics. In the UK, he was edited into a [[generic]] because in their continuity, he was elsewhere with the Wreckers.}}

''The trio's mission became serious once the [[time rift]] raging at both ends of Galvatron's time-jump began to tear apart the fabric of the universe. Xaaron had isolated Galvatron—and his time-tossed minions [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]—as the source of the distortion, and sent the full contingent of Wreckers to Earth, complete with unexpected back-up from their Decepticon counterparts, the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]]. Broadside balked at the idea, but honestly... they needed all the help they could get. Even that wasn't enough, however, against the combined might of Galvatron and the [[Straxus (G1)|Megatron clone]]. The twin titans tore through the Wreckers and Mayhems without mercy: at the end of the so-called "Time Wars", less than half of the warriors were left alive.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}

[[File:Broadsidesurvivors.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|That's a sidekick, not a broadside!]]
''Cut off from any supplies or assistance from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Broadside, Springer and Inferno felt left behind and abandoned to their fate on Earth. They were approached by the remaining members of the Decepticon [[Mayhem Attack Squad]], who felt equally deserted by their faction. Despite this, one of their members, [[Snarler]], still felt that joining up with Autobots constituted treason, and nearly butted heads with Broadside, necessitating Inferno to talk both of them down. Any talk of alliances was postponed when a processing of emergency vehicles passed by, and the Autobots investigated, while the Decepticons hung back. The source of the disturbance turned out to be [[Skids (G1)|Skids]], recently escaped from [[Limbo]]. While in the nether-dimension, Skids had dreamed up several horrors, who materialized into reality upon his return to Earth. He was ready to trigger a nuclear meltdown to eradicate them, but the other Autobots talked him out of it, and fought by his side against the monsters. Though Broadside was ready to use lethal force, the others were hesitant, fearing that the monsters' destruction could somehow lead to Skids's death. Losing ground, Springer wound up calling on the Decepticons for help, and together they defeated the monsters. Better yet, their destruction had no effect on Skids after all! Banded together, Broadside, Inferno, Springer, Skids, [[Catilla (G1)|Catilla]] and [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] rebranded themselves as the "[[Survivors]]".'' {{storylink|Survivors!}}

''Unfortunately, Carnivac found life as a ''de facto'' Autobot difficult as the need to fight was in his blood and so Broadside and the other Survivors watched as he fought with Springer, ultimately breaking away from the main group. At the same time, Snarler didn't take kindly to warriors abandoning the Decepticon cause and assembled a new Mayhem Attack Squad to assassinate the traitors, chancing upon the lone Carnivac first.'' {{storylink|Way of the Warrior}} ''Although Catilla pleaded Carnivac's case, Springer was unmoved until Catilla ran off to save his friend and he had to explain himself to Broadside and the others.'' {{storylink|Survival Run}} ''Now resolved to assist their former comrade, they arrived on the scene too late; although they were able to drive off the Mayhems, [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] had already killed Catilla and so Carnivac broke away from the Survivors permanently to seek his revenge.'' {{storylink|A Savage Place!}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
[[File:Rodimus technobots wreckers peace.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6]]
In [[2510]], Broadside was fighting alongside Springer and the Wreckers when they fired the very last shots of the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. The Decepticons were not totally gone, however—a deep cover agent named [[Triton]] lived on inside the Autobot ranks. In order to stir up discord, Triton challenged Prime's decision when he announced that Springer would e his successor as Autobot leader. Triton declared that [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] was a better choice to carry the Matrix, and the argument quickly escalated into a firefight. A new war between the Wreckers and the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] grew out of the conflict, bringing an end to Broadside's brief shore leave. {{storylink|Peace}}

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
[[File:Survivors wolf in the fold.jpg|thumb|left]]
Springer voted for the Survivors to wait to avenge Catilla's death, but Carnivac quickly ran out of patience. After the Decepticon left to attack the Mayhem Attack Squad within their own base, Broadside petitioned the Autobots went after him. Though Springer resisted going to [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]]'s [[Earthforce]] for the help they would need in order to take on the Mayhems effectively, Broadside and the other Survivors convinced him that this was the best course of action. {{storylink|Wolf in the Fold!}} It took some convincing, but Grimlock eventually acquiesed and allowed a handful of soldiers to join the Survivors in storming the beach where the Mayhems were holed up. While the others fought Stranglehold, Bludgeon, and Octopunch near the sea, Broadside investigated inland, finding Snarler dead and the remains of Carnivac's Pretender shell. He deduced that, despite what the Decepticons believed at the time, Carnivac was still alive. Indeed, Carnivac turned up soon afterwards, and the surviving Mayhems were taken into Autobot custody. {{storylink|Where Wolf?}}

Later on, the Earth-based Decepticons under [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] attempted to divide the Autobots' attention, staging a full-scale assault on [[Earthbase]] while Starscream secured a [[Oil tanker|tanker full of fuel]] in the meantime. While the main Earthforce defended their base, however, the Survivors fought back Starscream's energy-stealing attempt. Broadside used his rarely seen [[alternate mode|carrier mode]] to transport his fellow Survivors into battle on the high seas against Starscream, and the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] was driven off without much effort. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

Broadside served with [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], and [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] as part of a team of [[Firestormer]]s, who fought alongside the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. They attacked [[Outpost B-67 exo-structuring party|their enemy]] with so much zeal, that ''[[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]]'' had to remind them what side they were on. Broadside and his Firestormers' team were the first to uncover the existence of [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] and his [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]] and alert [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] to its threat. However, Jhiaxus' command ship, the ''[[Twilight (G2)|Twilight]]'' blasted them from orbit and kept Broadside and the others prisoner until Optimus Prime and Grimlock managed to set them free and escape. {{storylink|War Without End!}}

[[File:Wreckers loose ends.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Where was I the first 80 issues? ...Would 'on the can' be an acceptable answer?"]]
A member of [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]]'s [[Wrecker]]s, Broadside elected to follow their leader's plan to leave Cybertron and visit the other planets touched by the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. Some time later they hitched a ride with [[Berko]]'s [[Cosmic Carnival]] to the Sol system, where Broadside and Whirl piloted their shuttle towards Earth. After launching surveillance drones they discovered that the planet had been devastated by Megatron, who at that very moment launched nuclear warheads at their shuttle, apparently destroying it. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 1}}

Though the Wreckers managed to escape the exploding ship by descending to Earth in their escape pods, Broadside suffered damage to his [[Circuits|neural circuits]] which left him incapacitated and he had to be cared for by [[Rack'n'Ruin|Rack 'n' Ruin]]. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 2}} He was led about by the duo until they fell to [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Circuit Smasher]], though the super-powered human was talked into staying his hand afterwards. The Autobts were then led by a group of humans accompanying Circuit Smasher to their headquarters. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 3}} After a spell at [[Argus Base]], Broadside was sufficiently recovered to join the human resistance in an assault on the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] though his targeting systems were still not fully functional. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 4}} Broadside was shot down by a [[Guardian (Marvel)|Guardian unit]] during the subsequent battle. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 5}}

[[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] later put Broadside on the list of bots in critical condition, alongside fellow Wrecker [[Leadfoot (G2)|Leadfoot]] and two [[Brawn (G1)|other]] [[Mirage (G1)|bots]]. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}} Broadside's injuries left him sidelined for some time.

Broadside was back on the field soon enough, and joined in with the other Wreckers in an attack on [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s [[Hub (G2)|Hub Network]], managing to destabilize it while also fighting off countless [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronians]] in the process. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 4}} After Jhiaxus was defeated, Broadside, along with his fellow Wreckers and Autobots returned to Cybertron to find it deserted, save for [[Shadow-leech|horrifying creatures that drained the life from whomever they touched]]. As [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]] departed to destroy the Dark Matrix entity controlling the creatures, the remaining Autobots split up, with the Wreckers heading to Earth to enlist the help of the humans. The humans were [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|understandably quick]] to attack, but the Autobots were able to their trust. With the humans, the Wreckers traveled to Nebulos, where together they killed Fortress Maximus. As Rodimus closed off their universe from the rest of the multiverse, severing their connection to [[Primus]] and killing the Matrix entity, all Transformers, including Broadside became mortal, and eventually died of old age over the eons. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}

[[File:Broadsidegrimlocksnewbrain.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Seriously, I'm huge.]]
When [[Teletraan II]] casually brought up in conversation that [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], the Decepticons' largest weapon of mass destruction, had not been destroyed as everyone thought, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] sent Broadside and [[Seaspray (G1)|Seaspray]] out to investigate the site where Trypticon fell into the sea. Sure enough, they found no body, but instead a trail of massive footprints leading back towards land. Once the Autobots tracked Trypticon down to the [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya]], Broadside transported the Autobot strike force in by the coast. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

[[File:Broadsidecrushesdevastator.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Best use of size changing ever.]]
During a strike against a new [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] weapon asteroid, the Autobots and Decepticons alike were interrupted by a powerful [[Harmony|harmonic discharge]]. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blaster]] and Broadside broke away from the main battle to prevent Galvatron and [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] from taking control of the harmony for their own evil ends. Although Soundwave did manage to temporarily copy the harmony onto his tapes, Blaster erased the recording and the Autobots were able to drive off the Decepticons. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}} Broadside was among the Autobots attending the unveiling of a generator on Cybertron when the Decepticon [[anti-electron]] attack was unleashed. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

At a time when the Decepticons were carrying out a series of assaults on the nation of [[Japan]], Broadside confronted [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] in the waters near a fishing village. Broadside nearly capsized a small boat due to the waves generated by their fight, but he managed to stabilize the craft before returning to battle. When the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix-charged]] [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] rampaged through Tokyo, Broadside attempted to stop him by lifting him up with both arms. However, the Decepticon merely unleashed a burst of Matrix energy, hurting Broadside enough to release him.{{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

Broadside later returned to Athenia, where he used his [[Size changing|giant jet form]] to transport [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] back to Earth. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}} He helped out in this manner again when a volcano erupted in [[Peru]], carrying the Headmasters, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike]], [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]], and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] to the village of [[Pan]] to help evacuate the locals. However, Broadside was unable to help the villagers directly, as the raging volcano stopped him from landing safely. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}} He also ferried the Headmasters to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], but didn't stick around to help fight the Decepticons, apparently. Maybe he got airsick. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} In either case, he helped the Autobots survey the damage to Mars after it was devastated by Scorponok's plasma energy explosions. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}}

In the [[2030]]s, Broadside carried Optimus Prime, [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]], and [[Perceptor (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Perceptor]] as they arranged back up for [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]], who was controlling an [[Eldedroid]] and battling a Decepticon monster under the sea. Perceptor suggested the it might be best if Broadside took them to the surface over the spot where the battle was occurring. Broadside and Prime both agreed.

The triple-changer was eager to get there, as the combination of seasickness and worry over his friends was not enjoyable. Unfortunately they were interrupted in their travel by the giant "ghost" of [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]. Some days you just can't win. {{storylink|MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.}}

=====''Legends'' comic=====
[[File:Legends BE 53 Broadside.jpg|thumb|]]
In the G-2 era of the [[2030]]s, Broadside and [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] were by [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] when he declared he would turn his life around. {{Storylink|LG19 Sprung Prologue}}

Self-conscious about his weaknesses and phobias, Broadside always strove to get stronger and would often upgrade his body, but his yearning for power also led to various missteps such as one time working with the Decepticons. Sometime in the 2030s, he modified himself into a giant [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] in control of an even more giant triple-changing [[transtector]] that was so powerful he was able to defeat [[Grand Scourge]] with ease. Following that battle, he and the Aerialbots were deployed to the keep the peace in the [[Legends World]], where Broadside was approached by [[Thrust (Armada)|Armada Thrust]] who suggested they could use his power to conquer the world together. Broadside refused, so Thrust stole his transtector to do it himself, but he was able to take it back by using [[Repugnus (G1)|Repugnus]]'s scaled-up armor suit. When Thrust explained that he really only wanted to prove his strength to the world, Broadside could relate and forgave the Decepticon, allowing him to stay with him and the Aerialbots as long as he used his intelligence for good instead of evil. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 53|Bonus Edition Vol. 53}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:Broadsidewarwithin.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|They shrink me later.]]
During the beginning of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s tenure as [[Prime (rank)|leader]] of the [[Autobot]]s, Broadside was an enormous warrior. He helped defend the Autobot capital of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], alongside [[Vibes]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 4|The War Within #4}}

A few thousand years after that, Broadside, now the size of a standard Transformer, was a member of the [[Wrecker]]s fighting for control of the Tagan Heights region. {{storylink|Escalation}} During one of their missions, he organized the evacuation of his team as [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] were decimating the area. {{storylink|Devastation}}

In the modern era, Broadside was one of the Autobots upgraded into a Triple Changer by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s new process, after the Autobots and Decepticons negotiated a truce following the [[Great Shutdown]]. Along with his fellow former Wrecker Sandstorm, Broadside served as part of Shockwave's Triple Changer Strike Force alongside the Decepticons [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], [[Octane]] and [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]. Together, they traveled to Earth and apprehended Megatron's followers as war criminals. {{storylink|New World Order}} {{storylink|Generation 1 issue 0|Generation 1 #0}} But, while Shockwave was making many promises of a new world order where Autobots and Decepticons could live forever in peace, Broadside eventually concluded he could not be trusted. As a result, Broadside and Sandstorm made contact with [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] and [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] in the Autobot resistance, and began reporting on Shockwave's activities. {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}}

[[File:Broadsidewarandpeace.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Toldja.]]
The Triple Changer Strike Force accompanied Shockwave to Earth, where they took into custody the castaway Transformers from the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' and the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' who had been cut off from developments on Cybertron for the last four million years. As soon as they got the chance, Broadside and Sandstorm freed the Ark's crew from imprisonment, {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}} and took them to meet Smokescreen's unit to plan an uprising against the Decepticon rule. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} Optimus soon sent out a call to arms to all Autobots, uniting them into an organized army. Broadside and Tracks were among those directly contacted, and afterwards openly moved against Shockwave's regime in an assault on his headquarters. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}} The insurrection went off successfully, and the Autobots reclaimed control of Cybertron from Shockwave. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
[[File:SpotlightBlaster GetawayKupHufferBroadside.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Seriously, doesn't he have anything better to do than sit around and be mis-colored?]]
Broadside was there. He saw it happen. The conquest of [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]]. The fall of a Prime. The beginning of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. Broadside was there, and amazingly well armed for such a "peaceful" period, though perhaps he took a cue from [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]]. Either way, the huge old bot was one of the survivors who managed to evacuate before [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron's]] takeover. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}} He was among the Autobots who turned against [[Zeta Prime]]'s rule and provided [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]] with battlefield surveillance during the attack on Zeta's [[Citadel]]. {{storylink|Overthrown}}

As the war began, Broadside was one of many Autobots tapped at one time or another to join the elite fighting squad known as the Wreckers. Over time, he would become one of the longest-serving (and surviving) members of the group. At the command of [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]], he fought against the Wreckers' opposite number, [[Squadron X]], and eventually participated in their final conflict on planet [[Pova]] in the [[Redan Quadrant]]. After the battle, the Wreckers were informed that due to the fact the Wreckers had no jurisdiction on Pova, Squadron X had to be let go or else the Autobots would face diplomatic repercussions. Broadside turned away as Impactor snapped and murdered their prisoners, necessitating the creation of a cover story and Impactor's imprisonment at [[Garrus-9]]. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|Last Stand of the Wreckers #5}}

Though Broadside and the others agreed that Impactor had done the right thing, they didn't want to be thrown in Garrus-9 alongside him. To keep Impactor's second-in-command [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] from testifying against them, they convinced him that they hadn't expected Impactor to snap and asked him to be their leader. {{storylink|Zero Point}} Official records would state that Squadron X had managed to escape their confinement, forcing the Wreckers to finish them once and for all. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 4|Last Stand of the Wreckers #4}}

Around four hundred years ago, Broadside was attempting to defend Autobot territory on Cybertron from Decepticon expansion. He was part of a unit alongside [[Kup (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Kup]], [[Getaway]], and [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] shortly after the Battle of [[Thunderhead Pass]], stuck in the trenches on what was left of Cybertron after [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] stomped through it. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

Broadside's "desperate gamble with the psychic explosives" was one of many thrilling Wrecker exploits chronicled in the [[Wreckers: Declassified]] datalogs. {{storylink|Bullets}}

[[File:Stormbringer2 Wrecker fliers.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Oh, he flies through the air, with a touch of unease...]]
In the present, Broadside was assaulting the Decepticon [[Siege Armature]] on [[Varas Centralus]] alongside [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] and [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] when Springer received orders from [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] to pull out the Wreckers and return to Cybertron. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2|Stormbringer #2}} After Optimus and the Wreckers quickly crushed [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s cult, Broadside reported that Thunderwing was coming back. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 3|Stormbringer #3}} When Thunderwing touched down on Cybertron, Broadside, [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]], and [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]] operated as advance recon, watching as the monstrous Pretender slowly erupted into a rage as memories of his past flooded what was left of his mind. Broadside had to pick up Scoop and run for it as Thunderwing unleashed a massive wave of energy. After [[Twin Twist]] managed to get himself into trouble, Broadside's team were tasked with getting his attention, but were blown away with a mighty clap of his hands. After recovering from having a pocket of gas detonated from underneath them, Broadside and the remaining Autobots fought alongside two squads of Decepticons and reprogrammed [[Centurion droid]]s to help defeat Thunderwing. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}

Later, as the [[Expansion]] began, Broadside and the Wreckers came to [[Corata-Vaz]] to back-up Ultra Magnus and the [[Ark-12]] crew, once again pitting themselves against Thunderwing. The Pretender had been co-opted by [[Nova Prime|Nemesis Prime]] and his [[Dead Universe]] Transformers as guardian to one of three [[Nega-Core]]s, devices which would allow the Dead Universe to expand across the living one completely. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}} Broadside and the others tried fruitlessly to get past Thunderwing and shut down the Nega-Core. {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}} They were only successful once [[Jetfire (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Jetfire]] used Bludgeon's old Axis Cradle to hack into Thunderwing's programming and shut down the new directives [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] had hardwired into him. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

Broadside and several members of the Wreckers were captured by [[Turmoil]]'s Decepticons. They were rescued by the remaining Wreckers under Kup and Springer, and the former Decepticon known as [[Drift (G1)|Drift]]. After this adventure, Kup and Springer formed a unit distinct from the Wreckers aboard the starship ''[[Trion]]'', but Broadside and several other Wreckers were not added to this crews. {{storylink|Spotlight: Drift}}

While rebuilding the Wreckers after the [[Surge (event)|Surge]], Springer remarked to himself that Broadside was "all but lost to them now". What he meant by this is unknown. {{storylink|Bullets}}

[[File:RanksofBronze-BroadsideJetfire.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|man you guys i had this crazy dream where everyone was suddenly in their sunbow models for like one story arc]]
Several years later, Broadside was among the Autobots who gathered on [[Earth]]. Taking on the form of a battleship, he participated in the combined Autobot-[[Skywatch]] attack on the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] in [[North Korea]]. Their battle plan involved pushing [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] and [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] to the shore, where Broadside opened fire on them. However, this plan failed when [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] shot down Jetfire, who crashed right into Broadside, heavily damaging them both. {{storylink|International Incident Part 2: "Ranks of Bronze"|Ranks of Bronze}}

Broadside eventually recovered and returned to America in time for Megatron's revenge on Earth. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 4: Burning Chrome|Burning Chrome}} He watched as [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rodimus]] entered the Autobot base, bringing with him news that Cybertron had been occupied by [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]], and was among the Autobots who left Earth to liberate their home planet. {{storylink|Space Opera—Final Tableaux: Orphans of the Helix|Orphans of the Helix}} When Megatron's Decepticons arrived on the scene during the massive battle on Cybertron, Broadside joined Jetfire in an aerial strafing run against them. {{storylink|Chaos Part Three: Kings|Kings}}

Three weeks after the battle had concluded, Broadside assisted as an air-traffic controller in the main Autobot command hub. He directed ships returning to Cybertron to appropriate landing zones based on [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]]'s recommendations. {{storylink|Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime}} After reporting a ship coming in from the [[Lilivuvian Quadrant|Lilivuvian/Livulian Quadrant]], he was ordered by Bumblebee to call [[Metalhawk (Masterforce)|Metalhawk]] for him. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|The Autonomy Lesson}} Broadside was hanging around in the command hub when [[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Wheeljack]] put a stop to the energy discharges that had been causing explosions on Cybertron. {{storylink|Stick Together}} He was later seen at exactly the same place. {{storylink|Devisive}} He got to receive word of a [[Sky-Byte (RID)|new arrival]]. {{storylink|A Better Tomorrow}}

[[File:WordsHangInTheAir-Pallbearers.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|Coffin up a storm]]

Later, the Decepticon captain, Turmoil, landed his ship on Cybertron. Broadside wasn't too pleased to meet him again. {{storylink|Interference Patterns}} He was still doing his duties at high command as the faction leaders began discussing fair elections. {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt (IDW)|Dinobot Hunt}} {{storylink|Primus: All Good Things|All Good Things}} When Megatron suddenly appeared in Iacon, Broadside and many of the other Autobots immediately tried to kill him, but were ultimately stopped from doing so by the Decepticon population. {{storylink|City on Fire}} He was back to doing his job at high command by the time Megatron's return led to rioting amongst the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Verge}} As he was trying to deal with the increasingly chaotic situation, [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] ripped into high command and destroyed it with Broadside still inside. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}}

Broadside survived and was later seen escorting Megatron to his trial along with Sandstorm. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}} The Triple-Changers acted as bailiffs during the subsequent court proceedings against Megatron. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|Predestination: A Beginner's Guide}} Broadside would subsequently join the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' under Megatron's command and helped to bring in a strange coffin they found floating in space, alongside [[Mirage (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Mirage]], [[Grotusque]], and [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]]. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|Words Hang in the Air}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
The former [[Builder of Cybertron|Builder]] Broadside, left mindless and trapped in his battleship mode due to lack of Energon, was the flagship of the [[Resistance]] Navy during the [[Grand Uprising]], commanded by Captain [[Scylla]]. In the Battle of the [[Yuss Straits]], the ''Broadside'' supported half of all Resistance fighters and tonnage as they advanced on Iacon up the [[Rust Sea|Great Rust Sea]]. With the Yuss defensive batteries disabled, it was the Builders' Navy led by [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]] and the ''[[Tidal Wave (G1)|Tidal Wave]]'' that stood in their way.

Scylla coordinated a daring two-pronged assault from the ''Broadside'' with [[Cybershark]] leading the Resistance's subsea forces. An unhesitant advance by the Navy allowed Scylla to take advantage of the Builders when they scrambled to reposition and support their failing subsea forces. The ''Broadside'' and the Resistance drove a wedge through their foes' position, isolating and targeting the Builder ships individually.

Unfortunately, Banzai-Tron would not allow a clean victory. He charged the ''Tidal Wave'' straight at the ''Broadside'' in a kamikaze maneuver. Scylla ordered all hands to abandon ship, but an enormous number of casualties resulted when the ''Tidal Wave''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s relentless advance pierced the ''Broadside''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s reactor, sending up a mushroom cloud that consumed hundreds of lives. {{storylink|Derailment}}

[[File:G1 Broadside toy.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|A brick in two and a half modes.]]
*'''Broadside''' (Triple Changer, 1986)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''C-85'''
**''Accessories'': [[Plasma-pulse cannon|Plasma pulse gun]], Vibro-axe, 2 missiles

:Broadside is the most ''blatantly'' out-of-[[scale]] Transformer ever. He transforms into an aircraft carrier and a rather unconvincing, apparently aircraft-carrier-sized jet fighter. He carries a rifle and a (comparably) small axe as weapons in [[robot mode]]. Two non-firing missiles attach to his wings in jet mode.

===Generations===
[[File:TF-Generations-Titans-Return-Voyager-Broadside.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Over thirty years later, and he's upgraded to only being a brick in ''two'' modes now.]]
*'''Blunderbuss & Broadside''' (Voyager Class, 2017)
**''Accessories'': Seated gun, "[[Blunderbuss]]" [[Titan Master]], 5 Aerialbot jets

:Released as part of the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' subline, Broadside is an extensive retool of [[Alpha Trion (G1)#Generations|Alpha Trion]], transforming into another ''blatantly'' out of scale aircraft carrier and another aircraft-carrier-sized and very not-aerodynamic jet fighter (however, the legs can be shrunken down with some fiddling)and is a more posable version of his G1 toy. Broadside also features Titan Master-compatible ports on some of his parts, and he comes with tiny [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]] jets (specifically in the alternate modes of their ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' figures released just two years earlier) molded on a sprue; once cut off this sprue, the jets can be attached to his carrier and robot mode ports. and it can be [[Customizing|painted]] in your own will.

:Broadside also comes with [[Blunderbuss]], a [[Titan Master]] who transforms from a tiny robot based on [[Safeguard (Cybertron)|Safeguard]] into Broadside's head compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger ''Titans Return'' figure. Blunderbuss can sit in his jet mode cockpit; in boat mode, Broadside's bridge can flip backwards to form a seat for Blunderbuss to ride in.

:Like all ''Titans Return'' figures, Broadside features a small peghole made to accomodate a stand. Unfortunately, due to the nature of his transformations, the peghole will only work for his jet fighter mode. This can be circumvented for the robot mode however by not keeping his back panel flush to the body.

:Even though early Hasbro CG renders of Blunderbuss used colors very close to the final product's light gray plastic, pre-production samples used for [[stock photography|stock photos]] featured a gray face for Broadside's head and even darker plastic (with a green-ish tint) for Blunderbuss's arms, legs and head. Like with the previous wave, the packaging design Broadside was released in was the new "Decepticon" style standard for ''Titans Return'' Voyagers compared to the "Autobot" style used for figures from the first two waves, regardless of actual allegiance.

:In many places, this toy became a [[shelfwarmer]].

:Broadside was further retooled into [[Tidal Wave (Armada)#Generations|Tidal Wave]].

===Legends===

**''ID number'': '''LG53'''
**''Accessories'': Weapon, Headmaster, Aerialbot sprues, Repug Armor Partner Drone

:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Broadside is a redeco of the ''Titans Return'' Voyager figure, in cartoon-accurate colors and head, and replaces stickers with tampographs. He retains the mini Airbot sprues, and he also comes with a [[Repugnus (G1)#LG53|Repug Armor]] [[Partner Drone]] slightly redecoed from the accessory originally included with ''Titans Return'' [[Repugnus (G1)#Generations|Repugnus]].

==Notes==
[[File:Proto broadside.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Awesome... no wait, the opposite.]]
[[File:Broadsidecharactermodels.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|And sometimes the one on the left was colored like the one on the right!]]
*Broadside has the distinction of having two animated [[character model]]s, one based on a prototype toy that apparently went just short of production for some reason, and one based on the actual toy. The prototype design—which could be seen in the [[Toy Fair]] 1986 catalog<ref name="tf86">[https://imgur.com/a/vtnxv Toy Fair 1986 catalog] featuring the infamous ''Generation 1'' Broadside prototype.</ref>, at right—was rendered in animated form only in "[[Carnage in C-Minor]]" and the commercial for the 1986 Triple Changer toys, where it featured a different color scheme that appeared to be derived from the actual finished toy (lacking the prototype toy's blue). The prototype design also appeared in the 1986 [[package art]] mural, and was consistently used for Broadside's [[Marvel Comics]] appearances, colored to resemble the prototype toy, blue and all. The second model, based on the finished toy, appears in "[[Grimlock's New Brain]]" and "[[The Burden Hardest to Bear]]".
*According to "[[Carnage in C-Minor]]", Broadside has quite a temper when it comes to his paint job.
*In the Italian adaptation of the characters names, all three of the Autobot triplechangers were named after winds. The Italian name of Broadside, however, fit particularly well because it is also the name of a [[wikipedia:Mistral (L9013)|French Navy helicopter carrier]]: "Mistral".
*In the Italian dub, Broadside/Mistral's speech imitates whale song.
*In the American cartoon, as well as in both [[Dreamwave Generation One continuity|Dreamwave]] and [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW]]'s comics, Broadside has been portrayed as a relatively large warrior, likely because one of his altmodes is an aircraft carrier. (In Dreamwave's case, however, he was large only in ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' series and was "normal-sized" in the modern era.)
*Broadside's bio in Dreamwave's ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' attempts to explain his ability to change into a giant aircraft carrier. Plates, which overlap in his other modes, extend out to cover the mass. As a result, his armor is terribly thin in this mode. It's not like those things need to repel gunfire or anything. (In contrast, ''More than Meets the Eye'' describes Astrotrain as a normally-armored space shuttle whose plates compress when he shrinks to robot mode, making an incredibly dense and armored warrior.)

Their separate vehicle forms overwhelmed the Autobot [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]], and Battletrap eventually made off with the disk. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Shortly afterwards, the Duocons helped defend Scorponok as he used the data to create the [[Zarak Shield]]. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} Battletrap later participated in a battle on the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], concealing himself in a cloud while blasting away at [[Kirk]] and his troops. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}}

Scorponok later ordered the Duocons to plant a bomb on the asteroid [[Juno]], so that he could destroy the Autobot [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] and the insubordinate [[Sixshot]] during their duel on the asteroid. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}} The Duocons participated in the final battle against the Autobots in the [[Arctic]], during which Battletrap almost stomped [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] to death only to be fired upon by Sixshot. When it looked like Scorponok was going to destroy the [[Earth]], the Duocons fled into space to watch the results from afar. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] experimented to create a Transformer with more than one [[alternate mode]]. While he eventually succeeded with the [[Triple Changer]]s, an early step in the process resulted in the Duocons—a failure due to their consciousness being split between two vehicles. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye}}

==Commercial appearances==

The Duocons' appearance on the battlefield caught the Autobots by surprise when they first thought that a jet was about to crash into a tank, only for the two vehicles to transform into one robot! The element of surprise quickly wore off, however, and Flywheels had to contend with [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] pouncing on him. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Duocons and Throttlebots|Duocons and Throttlebots commercial}}

[[File:G1Battletrap toy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Battletrap]]
[[File:G1-toy Flywheels.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Flywheels]]
* '''Duocons''' (1987)
** [[Battletrap]]
**[[Flywheels]]

: The Duocons were sold in small boxed packages. They share a semi-[[Autotransformation|autotransform]] feature. Transformation begins by lining up the tab and slot on the underside of their aerial component with the corresponding slot and tab on top of the ground component. With the two parts lined up, pushing the aircraft down causes the tabs on both parts to trip a catch in the other, releasing the springs that keep the components folded up. The aircraft essentially folds in half over the "legs" that form from part of the rear of the ground component to form the robot.

: Transformation from robot to vehicles lacks any kind of automatic action. The halves of the robot are pulled apart and the nose of the aircraft is realigned with the fuselage and the leg/torso is folded down to the rear of the ground vehicle, with the moving parts being held by the spring-loaded catches.

: The Duocons suffer from a complete [[Brick (term)|lack of useful articulation]].

: The connection points make vehicles interchangeable, allowing you to create Battlewheels and Flytrap (no, not the garbage truck). This has never been acknowledged in fiction or their packaging, and one can only imagine what effect such a swap might have on their psyches.

[[File:BotCon2015-Battletrap.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6]]

**[[Battletrap#Timelines|Battletrap]]

:Battletrap is a blue and gray [[retool]] of ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' [[Springer (G1)#Voyager|Springer]], a Triple Changer who transforms into both an armored car and a helicopter. 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. 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. Battletrap also has a new head.

:The original version of this mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Cloud|Hot Rodimus]], and extensively retooled into ''Thrilling 30'' [[Sandstorm (G1)#Voyager|Sandstorm]]. It 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]].

:Battletrap was available exclusively in a five-figure box set, packaged with [[Packrat#Timelines|Packrat]], [[Stepper (SG)#Toys|''Shattered Glass'' Stepper]], [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Timelines|Megatron]], and [[Oilmaster#Timelines|Oilmaster]].

====Titans Return====

*[[Flywheels#Generations|Skytread]] ([[2016]])

:A [[retool]] of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Horri-Bull#Generations|Terri-Bull]], Skytread (presumably renamed for [[trademark]] reasons) is a small robot who can transform into a Flywheels head that is compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger ''Titans Return'' figure. He is packaged with a small vehicle accessory redecoed from Terri-Bull's, which can form a tank for Skytread to ride in robot mode, a [[5mm post|5mm]] gun for larger figures to wield, or combine with Skytread to form a jet. Due to the sculpt of the head mode face, it can be difficult to get Skytread himself in and out of the jet configuration.

:As with Terri-Bull, the upper portion of Skytread's legs has been installed backwards. Due to this, his legs have a problem folding down in head mode due to their tolerance if not fixed.

:This toy also doubles as the separate ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' character [[Skytread]]. It was re-issued along with Nightbeat for the fourth wave of Titan Masters alongside [[Shuffler#Generations|Shuffler]] and [[Repugnus (G1)#Generations|Repugnus]], which unfortunately became prominent shelfwarmers.

:Part of the second [[wave]] of ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Legends Class figures, Battletrap has been split into two new characters: Battleslash and Roadtrap. While Battleslash transforms from robot to helicopter and back, Roadtrap transforms from robot to SUV and back.

==Notes==
*It's often speculated that Battletrap and Flywheels' names were mistakenly swapped during production, as the rollers of tank treads are not generally thought of as wheels.
*''The Last Knight'' Leader Class [[Dragonstorm]] and ''Power of the Primes'' [[Dreadwing (G1)#Generations|Dreadwing]] were both dubbed by Hasbro to be Duocons, most likely due to them being two-bot combiners. The same goes for [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]].

==Stop==

We include the foreign titles so as to make the foreign spellings available. We strive to be as informative as possible and whether the foriegn words translate the same as the English titles is immaterial. We want that info present. So please stop removing information from the pages. If it upsets you that much, then let a discussion actually progress in the talk pages first, before going on a massive info-deleting spree. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 01:28, 26 June 2009 (EDT)

: I thought I was following the example set on the Revenge of the Fallen talk page. There, Walky had stated that foreign titles shouldn't be listed if they were simply a direct translation. I thought that was the consensus and was simply trying to catch examples that had fallen through the cracks. Apparently I was wrong, and I apologize for acting prematurely. Perhaps it is time to examine this policy. I will, of course, follow any decision made. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 14:28, 26 June 2009 (EDT)

==Primes==
Dear Khajidha,
I believe you have made an error in your statement "(→Notes: Nexus prime is one of the 13, not the lineage of primes (matrix bearers))". Right here on tfwiki.net you will find the following statements:
"They were the first Transformers, and all Primes..... In an answer in October 2009's Q&A Hasbro indicated that only seven of the 13 were Primes."
This clearly suggests that since Forest Lee had claimed Nexus to be a Prime and that there exists exactly seven "spirit guides" and that these must therefore be the seven aforesaid Primes, THEN Nexus Prime must be one of these seven "spirit guide" Primes. Can you disprove this by logic?
Sincerely, P.C. -{{unsigned|Deszarasu}} 00:31, 2 August 2010 (EDT)
:The spirit guides from Five Faces of Darkness are seven holders of the Matrix of Leadership before Rodimus Prime. The fact that there are seven of them is a simple coincidence with the "seven of the [original] 13" were Primes. Of the original 13 we have Primon/Alpha Prime, Megatronus Prime/The Fallen, Vector Prime, and Nexus Prime. Only Primon is also one of the Spirit Guides, as he was also the first Matrix bearer. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 09:58, 2 August 2010 (EDT)

:You posted unverified information, that means you earned the scoop tag. The term "scoopbastard" may be unfortunate, but that is the name of the tag. What Wikipedia says is irrelevant.

==Still pretty confused==
I read the disambig but am kind of in the dark. How many pages should be in a category before it is needed? I thought 2 was minimum, I get if it's a higher number but I'm wondering if the guideline's written somewhere so I can be consistant and know what to look for prior to creating anymore.

I'm also not sure why Sumdac should redirect to Isaac Sumdac rather than Sari or being a disambig for the two. Couldn't either of them be referred to like this? Plus "Sari" redirects to Sari Sumdac yet the redirect from Isaac to Isaac Sumdac isn't allowed? I guess I'm not sure, it's like the dad's never called by his given name nor Sari by her surname, very confusing. [[User:Tyciol|Ty]] 01:17, 31 May 2011 (EDT)
:Categories generally require at least 7 members. Disambiguation pages are only created when there are at least 3 items with the same name. When there are just two, the unmodified name should redirect to one of them. Since "Sumdac" is used for Isaac most often, it redirects to him. Since there are no other "Isaac's", typing Isaac into the search box will automatically bring him up in the list. The "Sari Sumdac" page was created as "Sari" and later moved, leaving a redirect behind. It probably could be deleted, I'll make the recommendation.--[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 06:04, 31 May 2011 (EDT)

:I think you're putting a little too much emphasis on which toys were used for these rather random displays. For example, no RID Prime or Megatron is present in the displays but Hasbro said that no version of OP or Megs was eligible for the fan votes as they were automatically inducted as part of the first class. Similar language was used to exclude any version of Ironhide etc in this year's voting. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 12:47, 6 June 2011 (EDT)
::I doubt they were that random. I don't think Hasbro considers ''Energon'' Ironhide the same character because he's a kid-appeal character as opposed to Optimus's gruff right-hand bot.

== Brawl ==

While I agree that the entire script should not appear in the quotes section, what is there is far from approaching that.

Furthermore, I feel that the quotes I added are significant & add to the section since:
1) One shows a recurring theme of Spike's romantic interests and
2) The other is an rather adult quote for a kids show, much more deserving of the higher PG rating than the "bloody" comment. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that was part of the reason it got that rating.

I didn't randomly pick these, and put some thought into it. I would argue that there are other quotes that add less to the section, but more importantly, the section is not so big that it would constitute the "entire script". Other episodes have larger quote sections with many more superficial quotes.
:1)The recurring theme of Spike's romances is better handled as a note than a quote. 2)I think you are rather reaching for your adult interpretation. 3)We have been [[Transformers_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal#Hey.2C_I.27ve_got_a_new_user_talk_page_template_request...|having discussions]] here about reducing quote sections. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 06:53, 7 July 2011 (EDT)
::About the quote, Wise has said in an interview (I think the same one that said that Dion died) the visual with the screw was intentional, so I wouldn't be surprised about the quote. But that too would be better for a note than quote. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 07:24, 7 July 2011 (EDT)
:::Interesting, Geewunling. I meant to mention earlier that part of why I had said what I said about the "entire script" was that (at least) one of the quotes that Brawl added was a continuation of a quote that was already there. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 12:30, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

== Fish/Pelycosaur ==

First off, please don't interpret this as an argument, 'cause I know I'm not as familiar with pelycosaurs as I'd like to be, and I'm just curious here.

Regarding your edit to Dinosaur (dinosaur), you basically said that pelycosaur is to dinosaur as fish is to human, rather than dolphin is to human. I'm kind of confused about that, since aren't pelycosaurs and dinosaurs at least part of the same class Reptilia, while fish would be a totally different class? Or is this a timescale thing?[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.177|192.249.47.177]] 18:02, 3 May 2012 (EDT)
:Pelycosaurs are not part of Reptilia as currently defined. Pelycosaurs and mammals are both part of Synapsida. It was not meant as a straightforward comparison, but rather a rough indication of the genetic distance between the two groups. Saying that a human is a fish is actually a more valid comparison, as mammals derive from groups commonly considered "fish" while neither dinosaurs nor pelycosaurs derived from the other. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 18:28, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

"Do some actual work"? This isn't a bloody office job, you know. We're doing this in our spare time, and this site isn't supposed to be taken all that seriously, in case you hadn't noticed. I don't see what the problem is. You've said "policy is to revert" if the user hasn't done much else, but I had a look at the policies and I didn't see that. Besides, isn't inserting a vaguely relevant movie quote appropriate for a page about a character who speaks entirely in quotes? There was even a setup line there that I only had to tweak a little bit. How is that hurting the article? --[[User:Magnus Prime|Magnus Prime]], 17 May 2012
:Yes, we are doing it in our spare time. BUT, there is a point to this website: it is a source of information about the Transformers brand and all of its components. If you are here to add to that, do so. If you are here just to show that you are funny, we're not interested. While the page is called [[Transformers Wiki:Caption]], it has always been interpreted as applying to ALL humor here.

My joke was a lot better than "I don't even like ice cream!" What does that joke have to do with Kup? Nothing.
:"________ callrd, he wants his ________ back" is not a good joke. Neither is "Not _______". Or any of the other things you tried. That's why you were reverted by several other people as well.

I wasn't being sexist about Arcee. I was suggesting that Rodimus (or the show) was being sexist about Arcee. But be honest; between G1 Arcee, Grimlock (ANY continuity) and G1 Springer, who would ''you'' choose? But while Springer certainly didn't want Roddy to die, his attitude towards getting the Matrix seemed to be a combination of "I don't want to be leader" and "Rodimus must be delirious to pick me".

I see you're not too happy about the "Seeker Scout" page that I've created.
--[[User:Norev Durok|Norev Durok]]
:Hi, Norev. I'm actually happy someone is trying to write up the Seeker Scouts (it's been a red link for a while), but there are some problems with the page. The paragraph under "Decepticon campaign" should start with a capital letter and should be written "in universe". Talking about "intro sequences" and "Autobot and Decepticon Campaigns" is "out of universe". Remember to write about the events as if they actually happened, not as part of a game. I'm also not clear about what the caption is trying to say. Do not take any of this as an attack on you, I just want you to become the best editor you can be.--[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 21:24, 21 August 2016 (EDT)

Hi, Khajidha. Ok then, i'll see if I can give it a few more edits, i'm glad that you're happy about completing this pages. Trust me when I say that the Seeker Scouts won't be the only page that it's going from "Red link to Blue link".

Also, what happened to:

"Omnibot Scout 1",
"Omnibot Scout 2",
"Omnibot Warrior",
"Aerialbot Warrior",
and
"Seeker Warrior"?

Because before I've even started to complete this pages, some of them indicate that the pages did actually had some info, but were deleted.--[[User:Norev Durok|Norev Durok]] ([[User talk:Norev Durok|talk]]).

==Unused Content?==

Hi, it's Norev Durok again.

Question: should any unused content be posted here?

I know It may be "out of universe", but I know that there's so much unused content in "Transformers: The Game", that if it have been used, it would have explained so much things about the game.

examples:

Autobot Campaign: it would explain why Bonecrusher is nowhere to be found.

Decepticon Campaign: it would explain why Bumblebee is nowhere to be found after "Level 2", when "level 3"'s ending states that Bumblebee survived and has got the Allspark, but in "level 4" it is Jazz who has the Allspark. *1.

*1: I say "Level X" because I don't remember those levels names.--[[User:Norev Durok|Norev Durok]] ([[User talk:Norev Durok|talk]]).

*'''Autobot Ark''' (Cyberverse Action Set, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV01'''

:Available excusively with the [[Ark (DOTM)#Toys|"Autobot Ark" vehicle/playset]], "Autobot Roller" is a relatively large [[Cyberverse]] Legion Class figure that transforms into a lunar rover of probably made-up origin, with elements of real unmanned vehicles such as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Exploration_Rover Mars Exploration Rovers] and various bomb disposal/manipulator robots. Unlike most Legion Class figures, he can wield Cyberverse weapons in both modes, as his oversized right arm (which sports the necessary [[C joint|3mm clip]]) also serves as the rover's robotic arm.

:The blue paint on his head is notoriously easy to scratch off. The same paint on his back and the flip-up panel there are less likely to get damaged.

==Notes==
[[File:DOTM Ark crew.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
* Roller's robot mode resembles the generic Autobots seen in the Ark in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|the film]], albeit with the addition of lunar rover kibble. Between this and his position as the Ark's pilot, it's likely that he's intended to ''be'' one of those Autobots... but it's impossible to tell which one. Interestingly, Cyberverse [[Flak (TF 2010)|Flak]] from the same line also features a very similar facial sculpt to Roller, insinuating that perhaps he may also be based on these generics.
* Roller's vehicle mode is nearly identical to the [[Cyberverse]] [[Lunar Crawler]], only at a much smaller scale.

:Red Alert is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "New Countach LP500S Police Car", which was itself a [[retool]] of the original Diaclone "New Countach LP500S" that added roof lights to the figure's Lamborghini alternate mode. Rather than a police car like the original figure, Red Alert's new paint job recasts him as a [[Wikipedia:Fire chief's vehicle|fire chief's car]]—a rather dubious disguise, all told, Lamborghinis not exactly being affordable vehicles for fire departments to use. He comes with a hand-held particle beam rifle, and a rocket launcher that clips onto his shoulder. The Hasbro release disabled the launcher's spring-loaded missile-firing mechanism, but it was reinstated for Takara's release of the he toy.

:Red Alert's toy has been reissued several times; each reissue is listed separately below. Red Alert was also redecoed to make [[Clamp Down#Toys|Clamp Down]], who was an homage to the mold's original police deco, while the original version of the mold was used to make [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys|Sideswipe]], [[Deep Cover]], [[Tigertrack]], and ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Sideswipe.

*'''Alert''' (2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF 10'''

:Once again a retool of a Sideswipe, ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Alert was part of the second wave of the line. Like all of ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'', Alert was a tiny, simplified version of his original appearance, with limited articulation and non-rolling wheels.

*'''Alert Meets Ai''' (Autobot, 2005)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BTA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Intercooler/blaster

:The first release in the ''Asterisk'' sub-line of ''[[Binaltech]]'', Alert is a [[retool]] of the ''Binaltech'' [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Streak]] mold as a Subaru WRX STi [[wikipedia:Police system of Japan|Japanese Police]] vehicle, a scheme that many fans expected for a ''Binaltech''/''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Prowl]] (see [[#Notes|Notes]] below). Although not a Fire Department vehicle this time, the toy's [[robot mode]] did feature many red highlights, including a red head, but as the headsculpt was unchanged, he still looked like Streak. BTA Alert was packaged with the PVC human figurine [[Ai Kuruma#Toys|Ai Kuruma]], a policewoman based on the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon]] [[T-AI]].

:Alert's release had problems with parts-fitting in vehicle mode, possibly a sign that the Subaru WRX tooling was showing its age. The later release of this mold as [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Ricochet]] in the ''Alternators'' line, though, does not have these problems.

*'''Red Alert''' (Legends, 2008)
**''Series'': '''Classic Series'''

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] toys, Red Alert is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)| Cybertron]]'' [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#LOC|Hot Shot]], transforming into a modified Chrysler ME Four Twelve concept car in fire chief colours. In either mode he has flip-out "wings".

:This mold is also shared by the red ''Legends of Cybertron'' Hot Shot and ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#LOC|Bumblebee]].

===Henkei! Henkei!===
[[File:Henkei RedAlert.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I'm a Japanese exclusive? This is a plot for revenge, I swear!]]
*'''Alert''' (Deluxe, [[2009]]-[[April 25|04-25]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun/tailpipe

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Alert is a retool of ''Universe'' [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Sideswipe]], itself a retool of ''Universe'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Sunstreaker]], transforming into a modified [[wikipedia:Lamborghini Gallardo|Lamborghini Gallardo]]. Though the car is mostly based upon the Gallardo, to avoid legal problems, it also features modified headlights and elements taken from other cars—most of them are taken from other Lamborghini models, such as a rear end that is basically a cross between a [[wikipedia:Lamborghini Murciélago|Murciélago]] and a [[wikipedia:Lamborghini Diablo|Diablo]]; however, the split side windows and the ridges on the door vents are based on a [[wikipedia:McLaren F1|McLaren F1]].

:Alert's vehicle mode features the same Japanese-style lightbar as ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Ratchet]], attached to the additional indents on the roof that were ''not'' used to attach Sunstreaker and Sideswipe's supercharger intake accessories in either mode. Like all ''Henkei! Henkei!'' toys, he features [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] plastic, including his shoulder rocket launcher and his spoiler. Like ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Lambor, he doesn't come with the supercharger accessory (which ''Universe'' Sideswipe still had).

===Generations===
[[File:Generationstoy G1RedAlert.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|My head looks like Sideswipe's? I have been betrayed!]]
*'''Red Alert''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Pulse pistol/tailpipe, engine supercharger intakes

:''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Red Alert is a retool of ''Universe'' Sideswipe. To differentiate him from the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Alert release of this character, he features a significantly different deco (including a black head like the Generation 1 toy, as opposed to the ''Henkei'' version's [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] red head), the American-style lightbar previously used for ''Universe'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Prowl]] and [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Ratchet]], and, as with all [[Hasbro]] releases of this sculpt, the engine supercharger intakes accessory that originally came with Sunstreaker.

:Unlike ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Alert, whose lightbar is attached to the additional indents on the roof ''not'' used for attaching Sunstreaker or Sideswipe's supercharger intake accessory in either mode, ''Generations'' Red Alert's lightbar is instead attached to the indents used to attach the supercharger to Sideswipe's roof/back in robot mode (possibly so Red Alert could still have his supercharger in vehicle mode), with the roof retooled so the lightbar is fixed with screws, thereby rendering the additional indents entirely pointless as far as Hasbro's uses of the sculpt are concerned. Because this makes attaching the supercharger to the back in robot mode impossible, the [[instructions]] show how to attach the supercharger to the gun to create a larger gun by wrapping the intakes around it, which neither Sunstreaker nor Sideswipe's instructions had shown. And while his instructions finally depict the correct transformation with the upper body rotation and the correct head sculpt (the lineart for ''Universe'' Sideswipe's instructions was simply recycled from Sunstreaker's), they do ''not'' depict the lightbar.

:His [[license plate]] features the number "05" (Generation 1 Red Alert's [[List of Japanese ID numbers|Japanese ID number]]) and the character's Japanese name, "Alert".

*'''Alert''' ([[2012]]-[[December 25|12-25]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-14'''
**''Accessories:'' Rocket Launcher, Particle Beam Rifle, "Circuit Trouble" headband

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Alert is a redeco and retool of [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-12 Lambor]], and transforms into a licensed Lamborghini Countach LP500S with a light-bar. In robot mode, Alert features new shoulders, face, forehead, and extra circular collar details to match his [[character model]], which used these toy based details. He also features a color scheme that is a combination of his original toy, cartoon model, and the real-life Lamborghini model he is based on.

:His non-firing rocket launcher is jointed at the peg to allow it to pivot up and down, and can fit on either shoulder (it should be mounted on his right), while his rifle can be held in either hand. Both weapons can also be combined and mounted onto his light-bar. Alert also comes with a spiky, translucent-blue headband that fits over the "horns" and around the back of his head, not unlike earmuffs. This additional accessory is to mimic the electric spark damage he had in the episode, "[[Auto Berserk]]".

:If purchased in Asian markets outside of Japan, a collector's coin is included. The back of the coin's [[packaging]] identifies him as Red Alert.

: The original version of this mold, with Alert's face, was redecoed into [[Tigertrack#Masterpiece|MP-12T Tigertrack]].

:A [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive re-release of ''Masterpiece'' Red Alert in a color scheme much closer to the character’s on screen appearance, including off-white paint replacing the pure white seen on the original release, the silver on the rims, weapon, and robot mode feet. The accessory part used for emulating “Circuit Trouble” is molded in a clear orange instead of clear blue.

:Like the original version, the "plus" redeco came with a collector coin in non-Takara Tomy markets, albeit of a completely new design. The coin is mounted on a card resembling Red Alert's chest/vehicle mode hood.

Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

{{charstubtoys}}

==Notes==
*The Acura RSX ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys|Prowl]] toy was originally supposed to be Red Alert, with a different head sculpt. Eventually, however, it was decided to release the toy as Prowl instead, even though the Subaru Impreza model had more resemblance to Prowl and the Acura RSX model had more resemblance to Red Alert. Control drawings of the figure with the originally intended Red Alert head sculpt can be found in the Japanese ''[[Transformers Collection 2007]]'' book, among other places. [http://www.reprolabels.com Reprolabels] later made sticker sheets that, together with a head swap (which can be done with ease) allow you to convert the Subaru into Prowl and the Acura into Red Alert, making them resemble their original forms much more closely. At one point, Hasbro's website briefly listed a second Prowl (because he shipped in two different assortments, the two versions counted as two different products distribution-wise) as "Red Alert". Coupled with the lack of photos, this led fans to (incorrectly) assume an upcoming redeco. The listing was soon corrected to "Prowl", coupled with appropriate [[stock photography|product photos]].
*''Kre-O'' Red Alert erroneously appears on Hasbro's [[stock photography]] of ''Kre-O'' Sideswipe set in place of the Sideswipe Kreon it actually comes with.

:''Loudpedal is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Loudpedal-card.jpg|right|thumb|Not....Pedal Loud!|250px]]
To look at '''Loudpedal'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s (ラウドペダル ''Raudopedaru'') [[Tech Spec]]s, one would think him a useless coward. In truth, however, he is a genius without peer: he is one of the galaxy's foremost musicians. Unfortunately, that's not a skill the Decepticons recognize the value of, so they rate him very low, and employ his sonic talents offensively instead. If he concentrates enough, Loudpedal can deploy sound blasts as offensive weapons, or perfectly track down [[Autobot]]s, or even sculpt solid matter into new shapes and functions.

Loudpedal lives a double life as the wildly popular underground musician '''C Shadow''', releasing his music through the interplanetary filesharing system "[[GalacShare]]" and making public appearances using only a [[holomatter]] avatar based on the human [[Raoul]]. Fame means nothing to Loudpedal, though; he ignores all the offers that come his way, content simply to create. [[Exhaust]], however, deduced C Shadow's true identity, and saw the virtue of his skills and their potential value to the Decepticon cause.<ref>''Masterpiece'' Loudpedal bio card</ref>

===''Of Masters and Mayhem''===
[[File:Loudpedal TheToxicTransformer.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|OH ''bugger''. Is it too late to ask Vivisector if he wants his old job back?]]

Loudpedal and his research partner [[Oil Slick (G1)|Oil Slick]] operated under the remote direction of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and [[Knock Out (G1)|Knock Out]] in a hidden Decepticon bunker. One of their research subjects had been used to test new Combiner technology, as well as growing a Matrix "shell" for Shockwave's exploitation. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}} An unexpected side effect of the various experiments was the test subject producing toxic sludge from its body, like a universal solvent. At the same time, the subject's own super-structure and internal working adapted to the sludge, but necessity becoming hyper-regenerative and self-repairing.

Loudpedal saw the opportunity to impress his superiors with this creation, and so he and Oil Slick arranged to use the test subject as a weapon. Induced cognizant stasis kept the subject inert between missions, after which it could be unleashed into the field to destroy selected targets before reverting to stasis for safe recovery and storage. Loudpedal made several successful deployments of the subject, and hoped his work (plus stunning good finish) would net him a fellowship with Knock Out himself.

However, Loudpedal allowed his ego and enthusiasm to get the better of him. The stasis-lock implant inside the subject eventually corroded beyond repair. This seemed to be a moot point, for the subject was quite tractable and did not seem to require punishment or restraint any longer to be obedient. Only when reporting to Shockwave and Knock Out did his superiors point out the obvious—the test subject wasn't submissive, he was merely biding his time until the station's resupply schedule provided him an escape ship. Sure enough, the alarms were triggered mere moments after Shockwave ended the video call.

Loudpedal and Oil Slick suffered greatly at the hands of their escaped test subject, who had chosen to call himself...[[Toxitron (G1)|Toxitron]]. {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}}

:*''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-25L'''
:*''Accessories:'' Gun, grill gun, flight stand, [[holomatter]] avatar minifigure, [[Sound Warrior]], rear-view mirrors

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Loudpedal is a [[redeco]] and [[retool]] of ''Masterpiece'' [[Tracks (G1)#Masterpiece|Tracks]], featuring a toy-accurate headsculpt. His deco is based on the black ''[[Diaclone]]'' Corvette Stingray variant released in 1984 only in Finland. His color scheme is much closer to that of the vintage toy than the 2002 reissue. He comes with the gun from the [[Road Rage (G1)#Masterpiece|Road Rage]] release of the mold; a redeco of the [[Raoul]] minifigure from the original Tracks release, now in his "[[Auto-Bop]]" color scheme, representing Loudpedal's holomatter avatar; and a redeco of the [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Blaster]] boombox in the colors of his original ''[[Micro Change]]'' "RadiCasse Robo" toy, now representing Loudpedal's pocket "Sound Warrior" media player. He also comes with a sticker sheet, allowing the owner to replace the Decepticon symbol in the middle of the flame pattern on the hood with the "CS" logo featured on the original ''Diaclone'' release of the Corvette Stingray mold; for the purposes of this toy, however, the "CS" stands for "[[Cymond]] Shadow." A short story about Loudpedal called "[[Noise & Smoke]]" is printed on his instruction sheet.

:Loudpedal was an [[exclusive]] to [[Tokyo Toy Show]] in 2016. Remaining stock was sold at [[TakaraTomy Mall]].

==Notes==
*"Loud pedal" is another name for the {{w|sustain pedal}} found on pianos. It's also the slangish term for the accelerator pedal on a car.
*"[[The Toxic Transformer]]" established a character named [[Vivisector]] that was based on the black ''Diaclone'' Stingray; the story was released less than a day before the announcement of ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Loudpedal, which was based on the same figure. [[Luke Thompson|The author]] had no idea about plans for a ''Masterpiece'' version of "black Tracks", so that's quite a coincidence! He would subsequently rewrite the story to replace "Vivisector" with "Loudpedal".
