'''Bumblebee and Chop Shop team up to raid a secret treasure from a lost temple.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Bumblebee (Cyberworld)|Bumblebee]] tries to convince [[Optimus Prime (Cyberworld)|Optimus]] and [[Elita-1 (Cyberworld)|Elita]] to take some energon that they have found instead of him, citing his perceived responsibility for the team's recent loss and the departure of [[Grimlock (Cyberworld)|Grimlock]]. Optimus and Elita reassure Bumblebee that none of that was his fault, and he caves and takes the extra EXP, repairing the damage [[Scorponok (Cyberworld)|Scorponok]] recently inflicted on him. Meanwhile, the Autobots are being stalked by [[Chop Shop (Cyberworld)|Chop Shop]], who tries to steal Optimus' [[Energon-axe|axe]]. Elita stops Chop Shop before he can succeed and dares him to make another move. Chop Shop begs for mercy and promises the team great treasure if they let him go, but Elita is not fazed by his pleas and moves to shoot him. It takes Optimus reminding Elita of the Autobots' ideals to make her back off.

Bumblebee grabs Chop Shop before he can flee and promises that he's going to "take care" of him. When the two of them are alone, Bumblebee asks Chop Shop for more information about this "treasure" he's on about. Chop Shop leads Bumblebee to the entrance of a stone temple. Bumblebee agrees to go in after reminding his accomplice to not play any tricks on him. Inside the temple, the two of them find their path blocked by a door, but Chop Shop is not deterred and digs/eats his way around, with Bumblebee following close behind. Bumblebee then stumbles upon a surprisingly modern-tech jhallway, but Chop Shop stops him before can take another step. A bit of muck falls from Chop Shop's mouth, revealing the tile below them to be booby-trapped with spikes as it hits. In order to get through unharmed, Bumblebee has to resign himself to being held by the hand and carried as Chop Shop walks across the room's ceiling. After they're done with the spikes, Chop Shop lets go of Bumblebee and goes to a place where he can guide him from afar. Bumblebee decides to go forward on his own, believing that Chop Shop had abandoned him, only to be jumpscared by a falling corpse. Chop Shop, now inside a control room, lets Bumblebee know that he hasn't left him, and shows him the way through the rest of the temple via light-up paths.

When Bumblebee reaches the artifact they were both after atop a pedestal, Chop Shop builds it up as something grand and wonderful... and when Bumblebee remarks that it's just a simple rock, Chop Shop shoots back that it is a "''special'' rock!". Bumblebee grumbles that maybe Scorponok should have finished him off, but he still takes the rock on Chop Shop's insistence. Of course, it's trapped, and lava begins to pour into the room. Bumblebee asks Chop Shop to help him out, but the Decepticon seems to have abandoned him, and Bee has to make his way back on his own. When Bee reaches the exit, he gets stuck trying to hold up the door. Chop Shop returns to Bumblebee to get the "special rock", and leaves Bee there when he hands it to him. Bumblebee's hands quickly give out, sealing him inside the temple, with the lava closer to him than ever. Bumblebee beats himself up about his supposed stupidity, but a crack in the wall sparks a memory, and he digs his way out like Chop Shop did earlier by bashing through loose walls.

Once outside the collapsing temple, Bee makes his way back to Optimus and Elita. He proceeds to explain to them he doesn't need to be saved all the time, and show off his prize: the "special rock"! In the scramble to escape, he had actually grabbed a second normal rock and gave ''that'' one to Chop Shop. Bumblebee then gives Optimus the real "special rock"... which is revealed to not be a rock at all, the crust breaking open to reveal a metal orb that instantly levels up Optimus and turns his experience bar from blue to purple.

At the same time, Chop Shop is celebrating getting the artifact he was after, only to realize that Bumblebee had fooled him. Glumly, he puts the rock in a pile with number of other seemingly normal rocks.

==Quotes==
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings, Elita. Even... that."
:—'''Optimus Prime''' doesn't have to sound that disgusted at his own beliefs.

"The amazing, the wondrous, the beautiful-" 
"It's a rock." 
"Correction! Is a special rock!"
:—'''Chop Shop''' overestimates '''Bumblebee's''' enthusiasm.

==Notes==

===Continuity notes===
* Bumblebee mentions [[Grimlock (Cyberworld)|Grimlock]] bailing, which happened at the end of the [[Storm the Desert|prior episode]].

===Character levels===
* Bumblebee is Level 2, gaining about half a level of XP when he takes the energon. He is back to low level by the end of the episode.
* Chop Shop is Level 6.
* Optimus Prime is Level 1.

===Transformers references===
* Optimus drops his usual catchphrase, "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings".
* Chop Shop calls Bee “Bumblebot”, much like [[Wasp]] did back in ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Animated]]''.

===Real world references===
* This episode's name is a reference to the [[Disney]]-Pixar film ''{{w|A Bug's Life}}''.
* As the lair is collapsing, Bumblebee slides under a door, only to have to reach back to grab something important, referencing the famous scene from ''{{w|Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark}}''.
* Chop Shop's continued exclamation of "special rock!" is very reminiscent of Gollum from {{w|The_Lord_of_the_Rings_(film_series)|''The Lord of the Rings''}}.

===Trivia===
* Like other Cyberworld episodes, this one was initially uploaded alongside the [[Storm the Desert|previous episode]] with an SEO baiting title ("Bumblebee TRAPPED in Haunted Dungeon"). The title comes from writer Ali Lightfoot's twitter feed. <ref>{{citesocial|quote=Set your alarms, Transformers: CYBERWORLD episode 10 "A Bug's Lie" goes live this Saturday 4th October.|link=https://x.com/HedlesChkn/status/1973803122339291420|name=Ali Lightfoot|site=Twitter|year=2025|month=10|day=2}}</ref>

'''One shall stand. One shall fall.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:TF2023 no. 24 - Optimus Defeats Megatron.jpg|thumb|150px|left|''When darkness meets the light'' '''''This is what it sounds like!''''']]
[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] clash in a furious exchange of unrelenting blows. Optimus affirms that even though he cares for the innocent, that won't stop him from giving Megatron the beating he deserves. However, Megatron quickly turns that around on him and begins targeting the civilians in the area, taunting Prime that he's never been able to make the hard choices that were necessary to save [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He whales on Prime all the while, rendering him nearly unconscious. [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] congratulates the [[Decepticon]] leader on his victory, but Megatron is not yet finished. Megatron transforms into gun mode and orders Starscream to drop Optimus onto a set of antennae atop a skyscraper, impaling Prime and keeping him stationary as Megatron prepares his final lesson. Starscream then collects [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]], [[Carly (G1)|Carly]], and [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]] and brings them before Optimus. Megatron presents his mortal enemy with an ultimatum: choose which he will execute, his human friends or the pure-hearted [[Autobot]]. Optimus refuses to play this sick game, but Megatron says that if he doesn't choose, he will simply kill them both! Beachcomber begs Optimus to choose him, but still Prime rejects the idea. Under the influence of Megatron, Starscream aims at Spike and Carly, ready to pull Megatron's trigger...

But he hesitates, as [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] glides silently overhead. Optimus and Starscream both look up in awe at the ancient Transformer, who looks down and waves at Starscream — [[Transformers (2023) issue 13|just as he did millennia ago]]. Starscream, speechless, waves back. As Omega flies off, Megatron orders Starscream to obey his will. However, seeing Omega has reminded the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] of his true name: Ulchtar.

A beam of energy fires into the sky from Megatron's [[fusion cannon]], blasting off Ulchtar's face as the Decepticon leader returns to robot mode. As Ulchtar's body falls to the ground below, Megatron turns his fusion cannon on Carly and Spike, who are saved by the timely intervention of [[Shredhead]], who tells Carly — noticeably surprised to see her van is now a [[Transformer]] — that [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] says hello, before slicing through the antenna that pins Optimus in place. Megatron begs Optimus to stop, but the Autobot leader has lost any patience with his enemy, pulling the remaining antenna from his torso and using it to knock Megatron off the skyscraper. His body is caught by [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], and he orders the Decepticons to retreat.

Still reeling from the battle, Optimus holds Spike in his hands, relieved to see that the boy is okay. As Optimus, Spike, Carly, and Beachcomber collect themselves in the aftermath, Carly notices that the light in the [[Matrix of Leadership]] has returned, with Prime realizing that he has been cured of Megatron's infection. Carly remarks on how small the light is... but as Optimus looks over the dark and destroyed remnants of [[Chicago]], he tells her that it is small, but still mighty.

==Quotes==
"You think I am weak. But just because I care for the innocent... doesn't mean I can't beat you into submission!"
:—'''Optimus Prime''' to Megatron

"If I beat you, [[Human|their]] whole planet will be worse off won't it?!! But no! You can't make the hard choices! You can't lead this way! '''YOU CAN'T SAVE CYBERTRON THIS WAY!!!!'''"
:—'''Megatron''' chastises Optimus Prime's concern for humans

"Who are you?" 
"A new friend. Sent by [[Cliffjumper (G1)|an old friend]]."
:—'''Optimus Prime''' meets '''Shredhead'''

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* Bruticus is missing his left leg throughout this issue; it's unclear if the leg was destroyed outright or merely blown off, leaving Brawl's fate uncertain for now.
* Omega Supreme was first seen in the flashback story in [[Transformers (2023) issue 13|issue #13]], the same story that revealed Starscream's origins as Ulchtar. How is he here on [[Earth]]? We'll just have to wait and find out. But it might have something to do with the signal being sent out from the shard of Cybertron on earth, mentioned by Megatron in [[Transformers (2023) issue 20|issue #20]].
* Shredhead was sent to Earth by Cliffjumper in [[Transformers (2023) issue 22|issue #22]] to protect Carly.
* The flashback of Sparky holding little baby Spike for the first time has been glimpsed before in the visions Optimus had after Sparky entered the Matrix.
* The final line of the issue calls back to what Prime said to Sparky in [[Transformers (2023) issue 4|issue #4]].

===Transformers references===
* Optimus drops a [[Furmanism]] after he is impaled by Megatron ("I cannot, I will not!").
* Optimus pulls a Sears Tower spire out of his left side, evoking a similar action from his climatic battle with Megatron in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.
* Following up on the previous issue ending with a ''The Transformers: The Movie'' quote, Optimus delivers a “I thought you were made of sterner stuff” to a pleading Megatron.

===Errors===
* On page 8, where Optimus is impaled, the three small rectangles on his thigh are colored yellow instead of white.
* On page 14, where Starscream stars his name, the triangle shape on his shoulder thing is painted like the background as opposed to red.
* The three rectangle on Prime's right thigh are colored yellow.
* Ultra Magnus’s antennas are once again colored blue in this issue.

===Other notes===
* Prime’s trailer appears out of thin air when he transforms.
* Energon Experience: Presented by Skybound Brand VP [[Arune Singh]].
** '''Character Spotlight:''' Beachcomber.
** '''You've Got [[The Touch]]:''' Spotlight on the F cover homaging ''The Transformers: The Movie'' (see below).
** '''Creator Q&A:''' Arune asks [[Sean Mackiewicz]] what his favorite memory from Daniel Warren Johnson's run was.

:''Rumble is a [[Decepticon]] [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[Image:RumblePrime-cardart.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Just who the hell do you think I am!?"]]

Loudmouthed, violent, and destructive, '''Rumble''' loves using his quake-producing armament to shake up the opposition, and is therefore the ultimate Decepticon soldier. Though he is most often found by the side (or rather, ''inside'') of his powerful commander, [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], Rumble can be a surprisingly effective warrior on his own and loves any mission that involves wholesale destruction. His piledrivers can open up the ground below his opponents, throwing even the mightiest warriors for a tumble! It's these moments of chaos that keep up Rumble's morale.

He is [[FIRRIB|blue and red]]! He's also less [[Deployer (WFC)|Mini-Con]]ny these days.

{{bigquote|Get ready to ''crumble''... before ''Rumble!''|Rumble on his own awesomeness|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]''}}

==Fiction==
===Aligned novels===
Soundwave sent Rumble and [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]] to search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in [[Crystal City]]. Afterwards they attended [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] and [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Orion Pax]]'s hearing with the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

===Unreliable Narratives===
{{voiceactor|[[Greg Sepelak]] (English)}}
Rumble was one of the two test subjects in [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave's]] latest experiment. Rumble and his brother Frenzy's sparks would be extracted from their bodies and placed in [[Laser core]]s, which would permanently allow their sparks to be switched between different bodies. When [[Wheeljack (Prime)|two]] [[Kup (WFC)|Autobots]] invaded the lab they were in, [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]] released Rumble and Frenzy to engage the Autobots. After Shockwave eventually disarmed the Autobots, Rumble and Frenzy were ordered to execute them, but the two Autobots utilized the Decepticons' original data disc bodies to stop Rumble and Frenzy (who were unwilling to risk harm to their old bodies). After beating the two [[Deployer]]s with their own bodies, the Autobots tossed the bodies out of the lab's windows, into the lab's waste canals. Rumble and Frenzy immediately followed, trying to retrieve their bodies.

Back in [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], Soundwave would demand that Shockwave return the two to their original bodies, to which Shockwave complied. {{storylink|Unreliable Narratives}}

[[Image:WFC Rumble intro.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Look everyone; no hands!]]

Following the defeat of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]] in the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] [[Vaults]], the [[Autobot]] leader was transferred to [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] prison facility where he was tortured by Soundwave. In the hopes of luring [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]] to Kaon, [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] and Soundwave orchestrated events that allowed Zeta Prime to send a message to the Autobots revealing of his survival. Even though the Autobots recognized it for the trap it was, Optimus nevertheless led [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sidewipe]] allowing themselves to be captured and briefly imprisoned. They broke free, releasing all of the other Autobots in the prison and fought their way to Soundwave's laboratory. Soundwave protected himself behind an impenetrable forcefield and unleashed Rumble, [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], and [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] upon the Autobots. Any attempt by Optimus and his team to free Zeta was met with a gleeful attack by Rumble and his compatriots. However, when they received damage, Soundwave was forced to leave his protective shield to administer repairs, leaving him open to attack. Eventually, Soundwave and his minions were overwhelmed and had to retreat but not before mortally wounding Zeta Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron''===
{{voiceactor|[[Keith Silverstein]] (English)}}
Rumble was sneaking around Autobot City, and when shot by Optimus Prime, angrily yelled "lucky shot" before retreating. He then assisted Soundwave in his efforts to rebuild and revive Megatron, putting the Decepticon leader's new head into the assembly machine. He subsequently handed the reborn Megatron a [[Riot Cannon]]. Later, he could be seen torturing Autobots with Frenzy as Decepticon troopers cheered them on. As Megatron walked by, he called to the little 'bot to "show no mercy". Later still, Rumble fought during the Decepticon assault on the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'', destroying obstructions and helping his master fell enemies. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}

**''Japanese ID number'': '''AM-30'''
**''Accessories'': Left & right pile drivers (Hasbro only), "Dago R" Arms Micron (TakaraTomy only)

: Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#RID|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, "Decepticon Rumble" transforms into a blue compact car with red windows. He features small, sculpted cannons on his back [[kibble]] panels, and also comes with a pair of pile driver accessories with sculpted, non-firing cannon barrels at the ends. The pile drivers can peg via [[5 mm post]] onto the rear sides of the vehicle and the backs of his robot shoulders, or they can be held by his hands, with the weapons covering most of his hands and looking like integrated weaponry. Additionally, the weapons themselves each feature a peg-hole underneath their barrel ends. He also has a "dramatic head reveal," wherein his head springs out from within his torso when said torso is opened during transformation.

: Since his hands are fully painted, the paint tends to scrape off whenever he holds his weapons. Additionally, while he ''does'' have a [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed waist, his crotch panel gets in the way, restricting movement.

: In wave six of the ''Prime'' toyline, Rumble was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' episode, "[[Loose Cannons]]".

: The Hasbro [[stock photography]] for this toy depicts blue [[paint operation]]s on his pile drivers that are absent from the final product.

: Rumble's [[TakaraTomy]] release, part of the tenth assortment of ''Prime'' toys in Japan, is ''significantly'' different from the Hasbro version. First of all, he's red as per [[Rumble (G1)/toys|the Generation 1 toys]]. He uses the mold's [[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|alternate head]], and has several different [[paint operation]]s, as well as customer-applied [[sticker]]s, including a Soundwave-shaped sticker meant to complement its twin on [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], allowing the two to combine their shoulder kibble into a Soundwave-glorifying shield. Instead of the twin pile-driver weapons, he comes with a single [[Arms Micron]] partner named [[Dago|Dago R]], a robotic octopus that transforms into something resembling the [[Hasbro]] version's pile drivers.

: This mold (with the alternate head) was [[redeco]]ed into [[Frenzy (WFC)#Prime|Frenzy]]. This mold also served as the basis for the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' designs of [[Rattrap (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Rattrap]] and [[Packrat#Beast Wars: Uprising|Packrat]].

*'''Ravage & Decepticon Rumble''' (Legends Class, 2012)
**''Series / number'': '''01 / 001'''
**''Accessories'': Disc case
: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] toys, "Decepticon Rumble" transforms into a "[[data disc]]". He is designed to interact with the Voyager Class [[Soundwave (WFC)#Fall of Cybertron|Soundwave]] mold, being capable of storing in and launching out of Soundwave's chest compartment, and features a [[Autotransformation|partial, spring-loaded transformation]] to robot mode that is triggered when a button on his underside is pressed. He features hands that are compatible with [[C joint|3mm post]]s, and comes with a clear-purple plastic case which can be used to store him in disc mode.

: Rumble uses the same "circuit board" pattern as the other three humanoid data discs, but like the other three, has been mirrored in a way to give each one a unique orientation to the pattern.

: Due to his construction, Rumble has little to no posability, and the fact there is nothing to lock his feet into the proper position renders standing alone very difficult for him.

: He was only available in a two-pack with [[Ravage (WFC)#Generations|Ravage]]. He was [[redeco]]ed into his wave-mate, [[Frenzy (WFC)#Generations|Frenzy]], and [[retool]]ed to make his Autobot counterparts [[Eject (FOC)#Toys|Eject]] and [[Rewind (FOC)#Toys|Rewind]].

: True to classic [[TakaraTomy]] form, this version of Rumble is basically the toy we got as Frenzy; the red-and-black humanoid. There are a few paint differences from the Hasbro Frenzy, though. Black has been added to his hands, plus the circuit board pattern on the data disc mode is in the same orientation as Hasbro-Rumble/Takara-Frenzy. The brighter-red base layer of paint under the circuit pattern is missing as well.

:''Frenzy is a [[Decepticon]] [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:FrenzyWFCboxart.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
'''Frenzy''''s tendency to lash out at anyone who reminds him of his size would make him a textbook case of {{w|Napoleon complex|Short Bot syndrome}} if it weren't for the fact that he'll lash out at nearly anybody for almost no reason at all. A [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] spy and all-around sneaky robot smaller than other Decepticons, Frenzy focuses on hiding and striking Autobots where they least expect it!

He's a follower, not a leader, and his ambition is limited to making trouble and hurting people. He can usually be found as part of [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]]'s throng of underlings, but he's also been known to tag along with [[Barricade (WFC)|Barricade]]—that guy's always tracking down somebody to beat up.

[[FIRRIB|He's red, and blue!]] And gray, also.

{{bigquote|Time to dance, Autobots!|Frenzy's battle cry|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]''}}

==Fiction==
===Aligned novels===
Soundwave sent Frenzy and [[Rumble (WFC)|Rumble]] to search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in [[Crystal City]]. Afterwards they attended [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] and [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Orion Pax]]'s hearing with the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. The two communicated in coded beeps but could speak normally when they choose to. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

===Unreliable Narratives===
{{voiceactor|[[Greg Sepelak]] (English)}}
Frenzy was one of the two test subjects in [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave's]] latest experiment. Frenzy and his brother Rumble's sparks would be extracted from their bodies and placed in [[Laser core]]s, which would permanently allow their sparks to be switched between different bodies. When [[Wheeljack (Prime)|two]] [[Kup (WFC)|Autobots]] invaded the lab they were in, [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]] released Rumble and Frenzy to engage the Autobots. After Shockwave eventually disarmed the Autobots, Rumble and Frenzy were ordered to execute them, but the two Autobots utilized the Decepticons' original data disc bodies to stop Rumble and Frenzy (who were unwilling to risk harm to their old bodies). After beating the two [[Deployer]]s with their own bodies, the Autobots tossed the bodies out of the lab's windows, into the lab's waste canals. Rumble and Frenzy immediately followed, trying to retrieve their bodies.

Back in [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], Soundwave would demand that Shockwave return the two to their original bodies, to which Shockwave complied. {{storylink|Unreliable Narratives}}

===Timeless===
Frenzy accompanied [[Barricade (WFC)|Barricade]] when he confronted [[Fisitron (Timelines)|Fisitron]] on false charges of killing the crew of [[Outpost Thetarus]] with [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]]. Frenzy could only laugh as Barricade ignored Fisitron pointing out that [[Oilslick]] was the more likely culprit. {{storylink|Timeless}}

===''Adventure''===
During an intrusion from [[Cloud World]] into his universe, either Frenzy or Rumble witnessed the bloodthirsty [[Deadlock (Cloud)|Deadlock]] shoot a downed [[Override (RID)|Override]] in the head. {{Storylink|Decepticon Jaeger Deadlock}}

Frenzy and Rumble never got along with [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] during his days as a Decepticon, and they often came to blows. When they heard about Grimlock joining the Autobots, the two brothers traveled to [[Earth]] to settle their score for good. {{storylink|#Adventure|Rumble & Frenzy bio}}

When [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]], [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] came to rescue [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]] from imprisonment in [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], they ran into Soundwave, who released Frenzy in defense. Frenzy put up a fight and didn't take kindly to comments about his size. Despite this, the Autobots managed to defeat Frenzy, and Soundwave recalled him. Although Soundwave was defeated, he and his minions were able to escape after attacking Zeta Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

He later accompanied Soundwave and the rest of the [[Decepticon]]s in the assault on the facility created to house the body of the defeated [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]], taking time out to torture fallen [[Autobot]]s and amuse the troops. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron}}

There are a few [[paint operation]] changes from the Hasbro version, mainly adding black to his fists. The faction symbol on his chest is a brighter lavender, and the blue "base layer" under his circuit pattern is a more subdued powder-blue, and also lacks the ring-shaped gap between the circuit portion and the raised center nub with the faction symbol.

: Part of the tenth wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' toys in Japan, Frenzy is a redeco of the [[Rumble (WFC)#Prime|TakaraTomy version of ''Prime'' Rumble]], transforming into a blue compact car of made-up model with red windows, and using the mold's [[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|alternate head]]. A good amount of his detail-based deco is provided by customer-applied [[sticker]]s. He also has a "dramatic head reveal," wherein his head springs out from within his torso when said torso is opened during transformation. He comes with his [[Arms Micron]] partner, [[Dago|Dago F]], a robotic octopus that converts into a pile-driver weapon.

: Despite looking similar to the [[Hasbro]] "[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Robots in Disguise]]" Rumble toy at first glance, his car-body is a darker blue, plus he uses light blue plastic for his biceps, thighs, and feet, unlike Hasbro-Rumble's black.

'''Kickback''' is one of the most charming, likable beings you're ever likely to meet. He collects friends the way others do [[energon cube]]s. Scratch the surface, though, and you find a manipulative blackmailer that loves digging up dirt on his new "pals" to force them to work for him. Humans are particularly likely to fall prey to his honeyed words. In [[beast mode|insect mode]] his super-charged legs allow him to jump great distances and kick through solid steel, though he's vulnerable in that mode when attempting to fly through high winds.

[[File:PlagueInsecticons Kickback harvester.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|GRASSHOPPER KICK!]]
Kickback, [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]], and [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] landed on [[Earth]] in their own space pod before the [[Ark (G1)|Autobot ship]] arrived on Earth. Their pod crashed into the region of [[Bali]] that would become known as "[[Demon Swamp]]" and their [[idento-computer]]s adapted them to transform into giant robot insects and eat organic food to survive.

The existence of the "Insecticons" became known to both the Autobots and Decepticons after they began attacking villagers rowing though, and Megatron formed an alliance with them. The Insecticons’ unique powers proved an asset. Kickback, in particular was able to disable [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]]'s transform circuit with a well-placed blow, and knock both [[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]] and [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] back down when they tried areal assaults (he also made short work of a combine, though that was more about goofing off). Later, the three rejoined Megatron at a nearby refinery, dining on the tasty oil. They aided the Decepticons in trying to drive off the attacking Autobots, but when the tide turned in the Autobot's favor, Kickback and the others decided instead to simply eat all the [[energon cube]]s the Decepticons had been harvesting and scram, with Megatron angrily in pursuit. {{storylink|A Plague of Insecticons}}

[[File:KickbackLavaIntro.JPG|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Kickback emerges from the Tang.]]
Megatron didn't hold his grudge against the Insecticons for long. When the Autobots invaded the canyon when Megatron was working with stolen electro-cells, he had the trio summoned to provide additional support in return for a reward. Kickback even scored a successful, though ultimately non-fatal, shot against Optimus Prime. Kickback thought the two energon cubes given as payment was pretty good though his companions disagreed, calling it "measly" when compared to the haul Megatron was pulling in. The trio only grew more agitated when the cubes went missing with a Decepticon insignia in its place. The Insecticons went back to the canyon, confronting the Decepticons, but Megatron was able to calm them when he figured out it was [[Mirage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Mirage]] framing him. The threesome partook in a Decepticon trap using Mirage. However, they retreated once the electro-cells were destroyed in the battle which knocked the Decepticons out. {{storylink|Traitor (episode)|Traitor}}

[[File:InsecticonsCaveInsectionSyndrome.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|"Don't worry, buddy, buddy. If Blackarachnia doesn't want to go out with you, that's her loss, loss."]]
On one occasion, the Insecticons were chowing down on redwoods in a national forest when [[Hound (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hound]], [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]], and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]] arrived on the scene and attempted to stop them. Despite the equal odds, the Insecticons managed to overpower their Autobot opponents and send them into retreat after launching a massive fallen tree trunk at the heroes (naturally, Kickback used his legs to push the tree instead of his arms like the others). Megatron then arrived and offered a deal: if he led the Insecticons to a fresh new source of energy, they would aid him in acquiring some useful data from the heavily guarded [[Iron Mountain]] installation. Agreeing, the Insecticons accompanied the Decepticons to the [[Nova Power Core]], an energy source of considerable power. Consuming it, the Insecticons found themselves more than doubling in size and strength.

Naturally, both groups of 'Cons planned to eliminate each other at the most opportune opportunity, but the Insecticons got the upper hand by secretly placing all of Megatron's troops under the control of Bombshell's [[cerebro-shell]]s. Kickback and the others planned to use [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] to acquire Iron Mountain's data for themselves, but little did they know that the Nova Power in their systems was explosively unstable. With the help of the Megatron, the Autobots attempted to forcibly administer an antidote to the Insecticons which would reverse their invincibility and self-destruct cycles. Kickback tried to escape with Soundwave, but was felled with a blast of antidote. With Shrapnel and Bombshell also returned to normal, the three fled to fight another day. {{storylink|The Insecticon Syndrome}}

[[File:QuestForSurvival Insecticons.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Kicking it old school.]]
Again, the Decepticons and the Insecticons buried the hatchet. The Insecticons built up a massive [[Insecticon clone|clone army]], and were using them to provide energy to the Decepticons. Again, Megatron was shortchanging them on their reward. Their clone forces allowed them to easily repel Autobot attacks and made them too threatening to the world's food supply. When [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] had crashed in a valley, carrying a batch of new [[robotic insecticide]], [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] was sent to warn the Insecticons to stay clear of that area. Not surprisingly, they didn't believe the sincerity of the warning. And, yes, Kickback gave Thrust a good kick for some laughs. After dodging some missiles from the angry [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]], they went straight to the crash site to investigate. There, Insecticons found a field of [[Morphobot]]s, plants that eat robotic matter. Not realizing the danger, they took their clone army right into the field to feed and instead had their entire group devoured with only Kickback, Bombshell, and Shrapnel escaping.{{storylink|Quest for Survival}}

Eventually, Kickback and company built up another clone army and went back to their usual tricks, now ravaging cities for energy, with the Autobots rushing to drive them out. When there was trouble on Cybertron, Optimus Prime tried to highjack the Decepticon [[space bridge]], but The Insecticons ran off with the bridge's control panel. They apparently couldn't resist nibbling on the thing, because when Megatron later found them in a parking garage they had chewed it up. They dropped the panel and ran before they were chewed out themselves. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

[[File:TFTM SquashedKickback.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Well, it was inevitable that he of all people would kick the bucket.]]
When the Decepticons invaded [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] on Earth in [[2005]], a keen-eyed [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] spotted their hijacked shuttle before they were able to penetrate the city's defenses. As a result, the Autobots had time to activate the base's heavily armored transformation sequence, and the Decepticons are forced to physically breach the defenses. Kickback and Shrapnel attempted to eat their way into the city, but kept their eyes on their stomachs and were caught off guard by the returning Hot Rod and [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]]. Kup used Kickback's head as a ramp to jump his way into the closing city, flattening the Insecticon's head in the process.

Heavily damaged, Kickback was carried by [[Long Haul (G1)|Long Haul]] back to [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] as the Decepticons bolted. He proved too weak to resist when the 'Cons tossed him and several other weakened warriors out of the shuttle to lighten the load.

Either he got better or that was an identical clone, because when the Decepticons were running extremely low on energon, he and Shrapnel were with the others on [[Chaar]] to scrap over what little energon the Decepticons had left.

All three Insecticons, along with the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] and Soundwave, were then seen on Earth trying to stop [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], [[Blurr (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blurr]], [[Marissa Faireborn]], and [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] from delivering the [[Transformation cog]] to [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]].

Along with the other Insecticons, Kickback took part in an attack on [[Kyushu]]. The [[Four-Wheel Drive Corps]] responded, but the attack turned out to be an ambush as the Insecticons trapped the Autobots in a volcanic crater. Luckily, the Four-Wheel Drive Corps was able to "combine" and perform the fearsome "Four-Wheel Drive Combination Scrumbuster" attack. The blast of energy was so powerful that it sent the Insecticons fleeing in terror (also, Kickback got decked in the jaw by [[Outback (G1)|Outback]]). {{storylink|Fight!

On a later attempt, Kickback managed to get a hold of another copy of the data and was about to rendezvous with the ''[[Thunder Arrow]]'' when it was revealed to be actually [[Shouki]] in disguise!

At one time the Insecticons attempted to use their clones to eat their way across the universe, but they were foiled by [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] and the clones were destroyed. Kickback later learned that [[Blowpipe (G1)|Blowpipe]] had the ability to mass-produce clones and, deciding to try again, traveled to the [[Legends World]] and stole away the Targetmaster. Blowpipe let him create miniature clones of himself as well as convert other people into clones, granting him a clone army that he set loose upon the Legends World to devour materials and convert them into energon for him. He was defeated by [[Clouder]], who froze him with an [[Wheeljack Instant Immobilizer|Immobilizer]] before taking care of the clones. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 47|Bonus Edition Vol. 47}}

Kickback was one of Lord [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]]'s warriors operating out of [[Polyhex]]. Along with his fellow Insecticons and the [[conehead]]s, he pursued another sextet of Autobots who had just carried out some sort of raid on the [[smelting pool]], only to be forced to retreat by a torrent of liquid metal that had just been siphoned off of it. {{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}} Later, he was present for the testing of the testing of the new [[space bridge]] and when an [[Cybertron Seven|Autobot resistance cell]] destroyed [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]], he was sent flying in the subsequent explosion. {{Storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}

''Identified as one of the Decepticons' [[Ten Deadliest Killers]], Kickback was targeted by the [[Wrecker]]s in [[Operation: Volcano]] and they trained against a [[facsimile construct]] of him. Scouting ahead of the rest of the Decepticons on information [[Autobot traitor|acquired]] by Shrapnel, he was fooled into believing that [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]] was meeting with the [[Autobot resistance chief]]s at the [[Imperial Amphitheatre]], though in reality these too were facsimile constructs. Just as Kickback and the other Decepticons were about to walk into the trap, they were inadvertently saved by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], who called them to Earth.'' {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

[[File:Kickback aerialbots over america.jpg|thumb|Kickback gets to use his special power!]]
Upon arriving on Earth, Kickback and his fellow Insecticons infiltrated [[Hoover Dam]] alongside Megatron, with Kickback using his special power to kick down a door. They summoned the [[Conehead]]s and an enormous drill across the space bridge in an attempt to drain the dam, using the [[water]] to drive massive turbines on Cybertron and when the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] arrived to stop them, Kickback again used his special power to kick [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] off the dam. Ultimately their plan was foiled when the human [[Ricky Vasquez]] broke Megatron's mental control over him and the Insecticons helped their leader to retreat. {{storylink|Aerialbots over America!}}

Under [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]'s command, Kickback participated in a raid on an [[oil tanker]] alongside the [[conehead]]s and his fellow Insecticons. Though he was eager to put his "legendary" talent of persuasion to use on the ship's crew, Bombshell instead used one of his cerebro-shells to locate the vessel's control room, as they were pressed for time. Though the Decepticons were successful in securing the ship, they discovered after the fact that it had already dispensed its cargo, leaving them with no fuel for their efforts. {{storylink|Buster Witwicky and the Car Wash of Doom}} When the Autobots launched an attack on the Decepticons' island headquarters to rescue a recently captured Buster Witwicky, Shockwave converted the landmass into its rocket-ship mode and had it blast off into space.

{{note|Due to being published early in the franchise, these stories are out of continuity with the above.<ref>"Plague of the Insecticons!" was later designated as [[universal stream]] [[Primax 1285.0 Gamma]] by [[Vector Prime]].</ref>}}
Upon learning that the Autobots were secretly planning to open a dialogue with the [[Ronald Reagan|President of the United States]], [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] awakened the Insecticons to undermine the potential alliance. The trio were too new to be in full control of themselves, and needed to be remote-controlled to be of any use on the battlefield. To this end, [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ravage]] was selected to guide them on their test-run.

The Insecticons interrupted the peace talk, Kickback making his presence known by gunning down a jeep upon arrival. The Insecticons then proclaimed themselves to be Autobots, and began to attack the humans, leading them to believe Optimus had always planned on betraying them. Having put on enough of a show for the President himself, Kickback and his teammates then zoomed off to unleash their firepower on downtown [[Washington, D.C.]]. Warpath and Prowl both tried to put an end to the Insecticons' rampage, and the latter managed to bring Kickback down first, temporarily removing him from the conflict. When he came to again, Kickback trained his sights on Optimus's [[Roller (G1)|Roller]] drone and destroyed it... unwittingly bringing about the Decepticons' defeat; Roller's destruction caused Optimus to keel over in pain at the exact right moment, causing a [[cerebro-shell]] launched by Bombshell to miss its intended target, and instead lodge itself into Ravage. The cat was left unable to continue issuing orders, leaving the Insecticons directionless. {{storylink|Plague of the Insecticons!}}

=====Movie future timeline=====
When Megatron ordered a massive offensive against [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in the year [[2005]], Kickback was among the troops who besieged the fortress. Megatron was badly wounded during a showdown with Optimus Prime, forcing the Decepticons to retreat aboard of [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. Kickback himself had sustained several injuries in battle, and so when Astrotrain called on his passengers to alleviate his load, Kickback was cast out into the void of space. He and the other wounded were then drawn to [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], who remade the Decepticons into his heralds. {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}}

Kickback and the Insecticons worked under Megatron's command during the [[Decepticon Civil War]]. When Megatron and Shockwave called for an [[Enclave]], a traditional Decepticon peace-talk, Kickback was seen talking to [[Long Haul (G1)|Long Haul]] during the festivities. The Autobots sabotaged the event by faking an assassination attempt on Megatron, and the in-fighting among the Decepticons was renewed with added fervor. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}} Later, he joined his fellow Insecticons in infiltrating [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]'s base to spy on their activities. They ate their way through the wall next to the war room, and planned to pick a nice, cozy spot for eavesdropping, but [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] caught the little pests in a [[rustbug hoop]]. He then fed them false information to lead Megatron and Shockwave into a confrontation with each other, giving him a chance to consolidate control over the Decepticons. {{storylink|Bugged!}} After the coup, Kickback was part of the attack on Autobot Earthbase led by Soundwave. Though the base's defenses being offline at the time, the Decepticons were nonetheless driven off in short order. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

===Marvel coloring books===
Under Shockwave's orders, Kickback, Laserbeak, Ravage, and the Constructicons attacked a human village, planning to raze the town and build a new fuel plant in its place. Little did they suspect that Cosmos was spying down on them from orbit, and called the rest of the Autobots to intervene. When the Autobots' attack started, Shockwave sent Kickback and Ravage to sneak up on their opponents and catch them off-guard. Once more, Cosmos spotted them, and warned Grapple and Gears of the Decepticons' intentions. The Autobots beat up the Decepticons, threw them into a pit, and held them there by pouring some quick-drying cement atop of them. {{storylink|The Autobot Spy in the Sky}}

Kickback told Bombshell Grapple would be a useful tool for Megatron's quest for power. Somehow he talked Bombshell into staying behind to do the work while Kickback flew ahead to take credit for the idea with Megatron. Well done, Kickback. {{storylink|Insecticon Attack!}}

Kickback accompanied Bombshell on a mission to [[Hidden Valley]], where the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s were lax in their lookout duty, failing to see the two Insecticons approach. After Bombshell knocked out and planted [[cerebro-shell]]s on four of them, Kickback reported their triumph back to Megatron.

====Attack of the Insecticons====
[[File:AttackoftheInsecticonstheSunPak.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
Discovering an underground cave filled with Autobots, Kickback spied on what he discovered to be the testing site for the Sun-Pak, a device invented by the Autobots' human ally Sparkplug. Recognizing how valuable to the Decepticon cause the device would be, Kickback radioed Decepticon headquarters, gleeful at the notion of being rewarded by Megatron for his findings. When answered by Starscream instead of Megatron, Kickback reluctantly informed the Seeker of his discovery nonetheless. Kickback was then lead alongside a number of other Decepticons into the underground cavern by Starscream in order to seize the Sun-Pak by force.

If the Autobots flee the battle and accidentally travel farther underground by confusing their escape route with another tunnel, they become prey to the Electro-Disrupter located at the Insecticons' nest, and must decide whether to secretly send one Autobot away to recharge the Sun-Pak or use the device as a bargaining chip. If Beachcomber is sent away with the Sun-Pak and chooses an underwater route to the surface, he is met with Kickback who easily overpowers the Autobot. But Kickback is in turn defeated by a shot from a blaster courtesy of the humans Sparkplug and Buster, who were unaffected by the Electro-Disrupter, and found a quicker road to the surface than their Autobot comrade. {{storylink|Attack of the Insecticons}}

At some point after the disappearance of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'', Shockwave managed to track the ships to the planet Earth, and dispatched Kickback, [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]], and [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] to the planet as part of some longterm machinations which were never made clear.

The Insecticons were supposed to remain in hiding on Earth until an unknown time, and managed to keep their presence on the planet secret even after the Autobot and Decepticon spaceship crews awoke and began regularly battling it out on Earth. However, Bombshell began instituting plans of his own, mutilating cattle, kidnapping fleshlings, and growing techno-organic "Insecticlones", among other things. Kickback noticed a minor power struggle between Shrapnel and Bombshell, and enjoyed stirring things up between his partners. Bombshell's antics drew the attention of the Autobots and [[Earth Defense Command]], and the Insecticons were forced into the spotlight to do battle. Kickback was personally taken down in combat with [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]. {{storylink|Extermination}}

Using these piledrivers, the Insecticons attacked and robbed a train carrying cash and bullion from the Denver Mint, although Kickback sneered at the concept of "sheets of inert plant matter" being valuable.

===2019 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Constructicons Rising, Part 2|''Galaxies'' #2]]}}

Kickback emerged from the [[Forge Pyramid]] as part of a trio of new sparks, alongside Skrapnel and Bombshell. These three were born with a unique appetite, and eventually discovered a gift for material hyper-metabolization. Kickback and his comrades could consume raw materials and refine it to produce an ultra-powerful energon as waste product of their actions. They became a living waste recycling station, producing a viable power source from nothing but scrap, and were highly sought after and praised by the people of Cybertron.

When the [[War of the Threefold Spark]] began, battlefields were filled with fallen soldiers. Kickback and the others began to devour the bodies of the dead, and they developed a taste for it. Not everything is known about their activities during the war. However, the Insecticons are known to have conspired with [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], one of the Threefold Spark's most notorious collaborators. He tested them for compatibility for his cloning experiments. {{storylink|Escape Part Two}} Once their appetites were discovered, they were condemned as "Insecticons", pests to be squashed and feared, in case they ever turned their hunger towards the bodies of the living. After the amnesty ended the war, many undesirables were dispatched to distant colonies or simply deep space itself. The Insecticons were exiled from Cybertron along with all the others. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 2}}

Around two kilocycles after the war, they were contacted by Shockwave, who was running a terrorist cell known as the [[Rise]]. Shockwave made a deal with the Insecticons to prime a group known as the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s for eventual recruitment into the Rise. The Constructicons had the unique ability to combine into a massive, singular form. Fear of their power led them to be unofficially exiled from Cybertron after the war as well. On the colony [[Mayalx]], Bombshell worked his magic convincing them to rebel against the government's control. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 2}} Kickback and the Insecticons consumed several colonists to produce enough energon to fully recharge the Constructicons. After that, they went wild as their Combiner form, [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], destroying the colony and leaving plenty of scraps for the Insecticons. Shockwave sent his [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s to Mayalx and -- in exchange for the energon they metabolized from consuming the colony -- the Insecticons secured a ride home to Cybertron. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 4}}

On Cybertron, Shockwave's patron Megatron soon led the Ascenticon faction in overthrowing the seated government, claiming the world for his Decepticon army. One of the casualties of the fighting was the [[A'voan]] biosphere, a sanctuary for the alien people who had nearly been wiped out ninety kilocycles ago. The Insecticons saw weakened prey and tried to feed off of the organics, but were driven back by [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]], and [[Road Rage (G1)|Road Rage]]. They developed a taste for organic life, though, and they vowed to taste it again. {{storylink|Escape Part One}}

They tried to barter with Shockwave, offering him the chance to finally make the clone army he once intended to forge from them during the war. Shockwave rejected them, as the Insecticons were unaware he already had what he needed to produce his clones without them. Left to their own devices, the Insecticons injected [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] with a cerebro-shell, turning him into their spy. Skystalker was left at the Rise with instructions to gather Shockwave's cloning machines for them, while Kickback and the Insecticons left to gather raw materials for the energon they would need. They attack Hound's convoy of organic refugees being led out of Iacon towards [[Darkmount]]. {{storylink|Escape Part Two}}

Hound's security forces managed to drive them off again. The Insecticons only managed to capture two organic and an Autobot to devour. Still, Skystalker did his work, and soon they had a lair inside an [[immersant]] Titan with fully functional cloning equipment. {{storylink|Escape Part Three}} Their efforts were successful, and soon an entire swarm of Insecticons rose to hunt and devour for them. {{storylink|Escape Part Four}} Kickback and the Insecticons now had a cycle at work, sending out clones to consume raw materials for them, then consuming the clones themselves to make their ultra-energon and power the machines to make more clones, ad infinitum. {{storylink|Escape Part Five}}

Shockwave initially tried taking his equipment back by force, but soon realized the Insecticons had become formidable in their own right. Instead, he negotiated neutrality in exchange for occasionally asking for their services. When [[Termagax]] was detected with the [[Enigma of Combination]] near the [[Sea of Rust]], Shockwave asked the Insecticons to dispatch their clone swarm on his behalf. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}}

Kickback was among the many Transformers transported to [[Equestria]] through a malfunctioning [[space bridge|spacebridge]]. {{storylink|Transformation Is Magic}} The Insecticons set about [[Insecticon clone|cloning]] themselves, and the combined swarm attacked the [[Sweet Apple Acres]] farm and began devouring everything in sight. A horrified [[Applejack]] managed to oust the invaders from her farm with the assistance of [[Discord (MLP)|Discord]] and her extended family. {{storylink|Strength in Numbers}} Kickback joined the attack on the [[Crystal Empire]] but was eventually banished back to Cybertron with the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Finale (Friendship in Disguise!)|Finale}}

[[File:NBE 125.JPG|thumb|125px|NBE 125]]
Video footage was taken of a small mechanical grasshopper on a tree branch. The grasshopper then flew towards the camera changing into a robot and proceeded to attack the camera, breaking the lens. It was sightings like this and others that prompted the secret government organization known as [[Sector Seven]] to launch a disinformation campaign called [[Hungry Dragon]]. A key part of this was the Takara Agreement, a collaboration with a Japanese toy manufacturer [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]. The goal of the agreement was to portray non-biological extraterrestrials as kids' toys, cartoons, and fiction. Any claims of actual sightings of giant robots would be seen as fanciful nonsense.

It was a great success. You don't believe alien robots actually visited the Earth, do you?

The original footage of the grasshopper was eventually leaked to the public through [http://www.sectorseven.org/ the internet]. {{storylink|Sector Seven (game)}}

Chafing under Megatron's rule, Kickback and his fellow Insecticons began raiding energy storage and high-energy research facilities worldwide. The energy gave them increased size and power, and it was only when the Autobots and Decepticons formed an alliance that they were able to be stopped. {{storylink|Harvest of the Insecticons}} When [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] returned to Earth with new troops in the form of [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], the Insecticons managed to ambush them. {{storylink|Junkion Reunion}} After [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] crashed into a movie set, Kickback, [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], and [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] were sent to retrieve him and the weapon he was transporting. Unfortunately they got into an altercation with the Autobots and failed to destroy the film evidence of the crash, which subsequently made it into a blockbuster film. {{storylink|Hoist Goes Hollywood (Legends)|Hoist Goes Hollywood}}

*'''Kickback''' (Insecticon, 1985)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''40'''
**''Accessories'': "Electrothermic Blast Tube"

: ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Kickback is a [[redeco]] and slight [[retool]]ing of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Waruder]] Insecter Robo "Battas" toy, transforming into a robotic grasshopper. As a ''Diaclone'' mold he has a "pilot compartment" revealed by opening his clear-yellow chest, but on its own there's not much you can do with it. His wings were given rounded-off tips [[for safety reasons]].

: The mold has a couple of variations in the chromed-silver wings. Original versions only had a single [[rubsign]] indent, on the outer right-[[robot mode]] wing. Later versions not only added indents to all four faces of the wings (for symmetry, apparently, but still only one rubsign), but ''shortened'' the wings as well, for reasons unknown.

: In Japan, Kickback and the other Insecticons were "re-released" as mail-order items from 1987 through 1988. They each cost 880 yen (their normal retail price) and two [[Robot Point]]s.

: This mold was used to make the [[Shothole#Toys|Shothole]] drones.

:Kickback was re-released as part of the Japanese ''[[The Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' series in a set with [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] and [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]]. This set also included three [[energon cube]] accessories that fit inside their chest compartments.

:The Kickback in this set has ''another'' change to the wings; this time, the "[[For safety reasons|safety circles]]" at the wing-tips added by [[Hasbro]] back in the day are no longer present, giving them pointed tips. The wings also go back to having a single rubsign indent.

:Kickback was released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, as a [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]], in a set with his Insecticon pals. Unlike his teammates, Kickback keeps his original name, although Shrapnel is mistakenly identified as "Kickback" on the [[instructions|instruction manual]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TG08'''
**''Accessories:'' "Disc launcher", disc projectile, insect wings/twin battle blades

{{note|''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]] was repurposed as Generation 1 Kickback by ''Transformers Legends''.}}
: Part of the third wave of 2012 ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Kickback transforms into a Cybertronian insect. His wings are attached in insect mode via [[C joint]], and can be removed and used as "battle blades" that are held by his hands via [[5 mm post|5mm post]]. He also comes with a disc launcher that fires its disc via pressure-launch, and is based on the [[Gear Shredder]] from ''Fall of Cybertron''. The wing-blades can peg into any of the launcher's four 5mm ports, although the [[instructions]] nominally peg them on the front sides, making the launcher look a bit like a crossbow. Aside from his hands, Kickback features additional 5mm ports for mounting, such as on his thighs, legs, and clawed appendages.

:In an undocumented feature, the launcher can mount/store on his back in either mode by sliding it into grooves found on top of each of the clawed appendages that hold his wing-blades, and pegging the wing-blades in this configuration while in robot mode will give him a spiffy winged backpack. His [[instructions]] also forget to mention that his gold-and-purple chest panels have to be angled up for robot mode.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the third wave of Japanese ''Generations'' toys, is noticeably shinier, casting his purple plastic in a darker, metallic shade, having much darker gray and black plastics, replacing his gold paint with pale yellow, and featuring numerous additional [[Paint operation|paint details]], among other deco changes. This version's instructions not only remember to angle up the chest panels, they also include an additional note showing how to store the launcher on his wings/clawed appendages.

Kickback's [[tampograph]]s are slightly altered, changing the lower part of his leg tampos to red, and adding a white highlight to his chest.

:Part of the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' Insecticon 3-pack along with Shrapnel and Bombshell, this Kickback figure is yet another reissue of the Generation 1 toy. He also includes an Energon cube accessory from ''The Transformers Collection'' release.

:This set was releaed as a [[Kmart]] exclusive in the United States. However, it was also stocked by US-based online retailers [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource, who supposedly obtained it as an import from Asia. It was available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely Singapore, the Philippines, and China; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Canada and Australia, it was sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was officially available via the UK division of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and A1Toys. In Germany, it was originally available via Bankroft, an online retailer that otherwise specializes in [[Nerf]] blasters and accessories, as part of a special "Fan Edition" arrangement through Hasbro Germany, with the help of several German [[fandom|fan]] sites. Due to low sales, the unsold stock was later sold to Actionfiguren24, a German online retailer that specializes in imported toys, who was able to lower its price for its existing stock of imported Insecticon sets as a result.

*'''Kickback''' (Legends Class, 2016)
:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Kickback is a Legends Class mold based on the G1 toy that transforms from robot to mechanical grasshopper. [[Titan Master]]s can ride in a seat on his back in grasshopper mode, emulating his ''Diaclone'' origins. He features 5 mm hand holes, allowing him to wield compatible accessories such as the vehicle weapons used by the single-pack Titan Master figures. His conversion scheme is similar to his original figure with some modifications to give better articulation. The antennas on his head are molded with softer plastic [[for safety reasons]]. However, due to the small printing size of the images used for his [[instructions]], combined with the dark background, the steps for transforming his arms end up rather unclear, making the tab-to-body procedure difficult to figure out.

:Like most figures in the ''Titans Return'' toyline, Kickback has a peg hole on the back of his pelvis that is compatible with a number of generic action figure stands.

*'''Kickback & Clouder''' ('''Kickback & Double-Dealer''') ([[October 28]], [[2017]])
**''ID number:'' '''LG47'''

:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Kickback is a redeco of [[#Titans Return|''Titans Return'' Legends Class Kickback]] with black upper arms and clear plastic wings and chest piece (with the latter being smoked yellow), as well as some new paint details such as toy-inspired red stripes on his feet and a cartoon-inspired red visor. His Decepticon insignia has been moved to the center of his chest, and he has an additional one on his grasshopper head. Kickback was sold in a two-pack with [[Clouder#Legends|Clouder]], and comes with the pack-in mini-comic [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 47|''Legends'' Bonus Edition Vol. 47]].

:The toy's instruction manual, despite using the same line-art or renders as the Hasbro version's, is printed in a considerably larger format and uses a white rather than dark gray background, resulting in a much clearer depiction of the transformation steps for his robot arms. (Then again, ''Legends'' Kickback is packaged in insect rather than robot mode, which means the owner starts out with a properly transformed insect mode to begin with. As a result, the instructions only depict the transformation into robot mode.)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Kickback is a cartoon-accurate version of the character which transforms into a robotic grasshopper in 14 steps. His accessories include two [[Dark Energon]] swords, which can mount to his beast mode wings, as well as his "Electrothermic Blast Tube", which can mount under his beast mode.

:Continuing on from ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s take on beast modes, his beast mode wings are more accurate to a real life grasshopper's than his cartoon model's, with a much more intricate pattern.

:''Laserbeak is a [[Decepticon]], and later [[Autobot]], [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[Image:Deployer DarknessRising3.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Origamicon.]]
Of the [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]]s who stand with [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], '''Laserbeak''' may say the least, but he quickly distinguishes himself, as his powerful laser attacks can pin down an [[Autobot]] attack force... when it isn't cutting them to shreds. The only one of Soundwave's Deployers to apparently join his master on [[Earth]], Laserbeak is for all intents and purposes Soundwave's twin. Efficient, competent, and all-seeing-and-hearing, Laserbeak is a menace to even the mightiest of Autobots. He also has the honor of being perhaps the only thing his master sincerely cares about besides [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], and Soundwave will drop everything if it means saving Laserbeak.

Years after the war ended, he was rescued by Autobot [[Rescue Bot]] recruits, and eventually became an Autobot and Rescue Bot trainee himself at the [[Rescue Bot Training Center|Rescue Bots Academy]].

==Fiction==
===Aligned novels===
Megatron despised Soundwave's minions, including Laserbeak. Regardless, Soundwave found Laserbeak more valuable than [[Rumble (WFC)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], and when Soundwave did some intense thinking, his Minicons inside got restless. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus}}

===''Prime'' cartoon===
[[Image:Laserbeakface.jpg|left|thumb|250px|''This'' is a bird?]]
When Soundwave intercepted a message from [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]], Soundwave released Laserbeak (which was resting on his chest) to bring Fowler to the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]''. After chasing Fowler's helicopter, the drone grabbed Fowler with his tentacles and returned to the Decepticon ship. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}

After Soundwave picked up a possible signal from [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], who was previously assumed dead, [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] went to investigate. Untrusting of Starscream, Soundwave decided to keep an eye on him by sending Laserbeak after him. After finding Megatron, Starscream intended to allow Megatron to perish, but was forced to reconsider when he discovered Soundwave's Minicon watching him. {{storylink|Masters & Students}}

While proving a point to [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]], Soundwave unleashed Laserbeak, who zoomed around the ''Nemesis'' bridge and shot her a couple of times before reuniting with his master. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}

[[Image:Triage Jackhammer vs Laserbeak.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Simon Furman would have a field day with this.]]
Laserbeak was dispatched to keep the ''[[Jackhammer (Prime)|Jackhammer]]'' busy while Soundwave went after an [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] relic. [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] managed to shoot the drone down, and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] hit on the plan of uploading a virus into the disabled Laserbeak to allow the Autobots to gain the Iacon database. He and [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] managed to do so, planting an additional grenade as a decoy. When Soundwave retrieved Laserbeak and returned to the ''Nemesis'', the Decepticons found the grenade but not the virus, which passed into the ship's computer and began downloading the database. {{storylink|Triage (episode)|Triage}}

Once the Decepticons obtained information pointing to [[Jasper]], [[Nevada]] as the home of the Autobots' human friends, Laserbeak was put to work searching the area for the Autobots' base. This bore fruit when he located [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]], who happened to be the last of the Iacon relics. He kept Smokescreen busy until Soundwave arrived to capture the Autobot. {{storylink|Hard Knocks}} After further exploration of the area, Laserbeak presumably found the base himself, and passed the information along to his superiors, engineering the destruction of the base and the scattering of the Autobots. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}

Laserbeak was dispatched to monitor the battle after the Decepticons tracked [[Jack Darby]]'s location. He was caught in the explosion when [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and Jack blew up a gas station to take out the two pursuing [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]], and Soundwave was unable to salvage any surveillance data from him. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}}

During a battle in [[Texas]], Laserbeak detached from Soundwave and was able to successfully short-out Optimus Prime's shiny new jetpack, causing the Autobot leader to crash in an undignified heap. {{storylink|Project Predacon}} Laserbeak's second attempt at downing Optimus didn't go so well, with the Autobot leader punching him out of the air. He was unable to locate Soundwave after his master was captured, but [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] had him track Fowler to the Autobots' shielded base and reactivate Soundwave with new orders—capture Ratchet. {{storylink|Minus One}}

During his rescue of Soundwave, Laserbeak's transponder was shot off by [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]], and the Autobots later used it to build an [[Chip|aerial drone]]. {{Storylink|Persuasion}}When Soundwave was trapped in the [[Shadowzone (dimension)|Shadowzone]], Laserbeak was also trapped by virtue of still being attached to his chest. {{Storylink|Deadlock}}

Trapped in the Shadowzone, Soundwave and by extension Laserbeak, followed Megatron back to Earth, but got stuck on the planet after Megatron departed. Soundwave and Laserbeak spent an unspecified amount of time in the Shadowzone, wandering aimlessly on Earth. After [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] caused a GroundBridge accident, Soundwave flew through the rift, deploying Laserbeak to overwhelm the Autobots while he threw Bumblebee into the Shadowzone. After [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] got their second wind, Soundwave dispatched Laserbeak once again, herding them into a portal and sending them out of the scrapyard so Soundwave could concentrate on building a beacon to contact Megatron.

Ultimately, the two Autobots were able to pin down the Mini-Con and bludgeon him into unconsciousness. While Bumblebee and [[Denny Clay]] overpowered Soundwave and forced him back into another Shadowzone portal, Grimlock and Strongarm returned with a still-unconscious Laserbeak, throwing both of them into the dimension from whence they had came. {{storylink|Portals}}

[[File:TRID S3 E21 CD SC 4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"I'll get you next time, Gadget. Next time!" "Meeeoww!"]]
When Soundwave escaped the Shadowzone using Decepticon Hunters brought to him by the Activator Mini-Cons [[Stuntwing]], [[Trickout]], and [[Goldgear]], Laserbeak-who had been reformatted into an Activator Mini-Con as well-was deployed to attack [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] when his master discovered the Autobot while he was hiding. As Soundwave went to activate a beacon generator that could irradiate Earth in an effort to contact Megatron, Laserbeak was deployed again to fight Optimus Prime. Just as he was about to finish the Prime, [[Hi-Test (RID)|Hi-Test]], an Activator Mini-Con who had failed Soundwave, knocked Laserbeak aside before he linked up with Optimus to upgrade him. With the additional power provided, Optimus successfully knocked Laserbeak out of the sky. The Mini-Con was then taken back to Cybertron on ''[[Prime Force One]]'' alongside his master. {{storylink|Collateral Damage}}

Laserbeak was on board a ship when it became damaged. Injured and in his cassette alternate mode, Laserbeak was trapped in a pile of debris until the [[Rescue Bot]] recruits found the ship and retrieved him. They took him back to the Academy on Earth, where Laserbeak transformed and managed to flee the building. His injuries meant he wouldn't be able to go very far before being forced into [[stasis lock]], and [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] found him stuck in a burning tree. [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] successfully repaired the Decepticon, and as his criminal record was clear, Laserbeak was allowed to stay at the Academy. {{storylink|More Than Meets The Eye (RBA)|More Than Meets The Eye}}

Hoist was making repairs to Laserbeak when [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] and [[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]] dropped by the lab. Later, when he was trying to work out who had messed up the lab, Hoist suspected Laserbeak, however he and [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] ruled the Decepticon out when they realized his claws didn't match the scratch marks. {{storylink|Things That Go Bot In The Night}}

Wedge invited Laserbeak to join them aboard [[Citadel Secundus]] for the recruits' Year 2 graduation party, but Laserbeak declined, believing himself unworthy due to his past misdeeds. {{storylink|Space Party}} When Secundus was struck by an asteroid, Laserbeak worked with [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] and Whirl to rewire the control console at the Academy, allowing them to remotely take control of the Titan and prevent him from crashing into the Earth. In the aftermath, Optimus Prime praised Laserbeak and the others who had assisted in the rescue, and offered them the opportunity to become part of the next class at the Academy. Laserbeak was hesitant at first due to his allegiance, but Optimus recognized his efforts to change and officially made him an Autobot, at which point he accepted. {{storylink|Crash Of The Titan}}

When the captive [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] were brought before Soundwave in the Kaon Prison, Laserbeak swooped down and perched on his master's arm. It soon turned out, however, that Prime's team had allowed themselves to be captured so they could rescue [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], and as they escaped and made their way through the prison, Laserbeak could be spotted lurking in the shadows, watching their progress, at three different locations. By the time Prime's group made it to Soundwave's laboratory, where Zeta Prime was being held Laserbeak had reunited with his master, and joined Soundwave in battling the Autobots. Laserbeak served as Soundwave's last line of defense in the clash, ejecting from his chest and screeching across the lab at high speeds, blasting laser bursts onto the Autobots below. He was eventually downed, however, and accompanied Soundwave in a hasty retreat, but not before Soundwave fatally wounded Zeta Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron''===
[[Image:FOC-pressXtopetLaserbeak.jpg|right|thumb|300px|You know you want to.]]
Laserbeak was at Soundwave's side during the assault on Autobot City that nearly destroyed the Ark. In a surprising lack of judgement, he flew past a rampaging Optimus Prime, leading the Autobot leader to where Soundwave was disguised as a light fixture. Luckily for both Decepticons, they were in such a place Optimus was unable to get a clear shot and managed to retreat.

Laserbeak was with Soundwave when the Combaticons and Starscream brought Optimus in as their prisoner. He also somehow missed the massive city-sized Autobot who snuck up on the Decepticons and proceeded to beat Megatron to death. He wisely fled with the remaining Decepticons.

Laserbeak was instrumental in reviving Megatron in Soundwave's laboratory in Kaon, recovering the Techvolt used to bring the Decepticon leader back to life. This earned him an affectionate scratch on the head from the notoriously unemotional Communications Officer. When Megatron tried to do the same, the irate Minicon nipped at him, amusing the warlord.

During the assault on the Autobot defenses keeping Trypticon prisoner, Laserbeak was with Soundwave throughout the battle. He was next seen aboard the Nemesis, Trypticon's new form. He joined Soundwave and Rumble in boarding the Ark as it fled towards a Space Bridge, successfully fending off the Autobots and destroying their anti-air cannons. This allowed the Decepticons to send in Bruticus. He wasn't seen after, though presumably he was sucked into the collapsing Space Bridge along with everyone else.

Laserbeak accompanied Soundwave, Shockwave, and Starscream on a mission to retrieve the Dark Spark from an ancient Cybertronian city. Laserbeak helped his master fend off attacking Insecticons. When they reached the chamber that held the Dark Spark, Laserbeak was dispatched by Soundwave to help the Decepticons unlock vault. When the Autobots Sideswipe and Ironhide took the Dark Spark and locked the Decepticons in the Dark Spark's chamber, Laserbeak was the only Decepticon that wasn't trapped inside, and freed his comrades. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark}}

::TFU Tankorr seperate, yes. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 20:28, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

:::Because dumb Tankor is a separate personality shell program that is not Rhinox. The two were never meant to mingle; Rhinox's spark merely POWERS the body and program (plus makes the Maximals reluctant to hurt Tankor.) Just as Thrust is a separate entry from Wasipnator, and Jetstorm will be separate from Silverbolt. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 20:31, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

We need a screencap of Rhinox communicating with Primal from the Allspark just so there's a place for a "Rhinox is Death" joke. I'd do it myself since I have the DVD's, but I have no idea how to get a screencap (PrtSc doesn't work on video media for some reason) --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 21:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Uh... why is he the only Tankor on this page? When we start putting ONE tankor in his toylist, we have to include them all! I sugest that he gets removed.--[[User:Sunjumper|Sunjumper]] 12:32, 18 July 2009 (EDT)

==BW Movie Coin==
"Beast Wars Movie Coin (1997)
Released only in Japan, Rhinox was one of three characters from Beast Wars to receive a movie coin, the other two being Rattrap and Scorponok." Definitely not accurate.

Cyclone

LV: /* Known Cyclones */ Doomitron is not a Cyclone

{{faction|minicon|decepticon|autobot}}
{{picsneeded|Toys and plenty of fiction pics}}

[[Mini-Con]]s come in various forms, and the spheroid '''Cyclones''' are a particularly dangerous bunch. Each one transforms into a free-rolling wrecking ball with a hidden blaster-cannon, but their "robot" modes can be every bit as dangerous. Somewhat feral and absolutely capricious in personality, they are known for being absolute terrors when angry or threatened. They have simple wants, and are easily entertained. Many entertain themselves with mean-spirited pranks or just straight-up attack each other out of pure boredom.

Despite their often-unreliable nature, partnerships with larger Cybertronians are not unheard of. Particularly destructive warriors can impress them into joining up just for the fun of bashing stuff, though others just kind of follow orders to the best of their limited ability because... well, what else is there to do?

So far, most of the Cyclones have found favor in the [[Decepticon]]s (no big shocker there), but at least [[Undertone|one]] has sided with the [[Autobot]]s.

'''Onslaught''' is a genius when it comes to strategy, and while this tactical skill is his most impressive asset, he's more proud of the fact that he's so much bigger than his peers. In true Decepticon fashion, he likes to show off his brawn by bullying smaller foes.

Sometimes, he is the leader of the [[Combaticon (ROTF)|Combaticons]], with whom he combines to form the mighty [[Bruticus Maximus (ROTF)|Bruticus Maximus]].

Onslaught was among the Decepticons in [[Transformers Reaction Force|T.R.F.'s]] custody. When the T.R.F. opted to work with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and release some Decepticons to be part of his "crew", among Megatron's first choices was none other than [[Berserker]]. However, Berserker was deemed too dangerous, so Megatron had to settle for Onslaught, who needed high level clearance to be released. When released, he angrily bemoaned the small size of the T.R.F.'s doors, which he could not fit through. However, he ''was'' able to get his cannon through said door.

Onslaught joined the Decepticons on their hunt for [[Cade Yeager]], and followed his leader to the human's scrap yard and then to a nearby town. They were met with some not-quite-unexpected resistance in the form of the Autobots [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], and [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] and damaged in a trap set by Yeager. He attempted to catch the fugitive human but was ambushed by Drift and Crosshairs. He first lost his leg and took several shots in the chest before finally losing his "fat head" to Drift's sword.

*'''Bruticus Maximus''' (2009)

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Onslaught is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Barricade (Energon)#Energon|Barricade]], transforming into an eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier with a rear-mounted (non-firing) missile rack that turns and elevates. He was available with the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bruticus Maximus giftset, and when combined with the other Combaticons, Onslaught forms the torso. Almost every Onslaught also has a paint error on the right robot knee, in that there is no paint around the hole immediately below the knee, where there ''is'' paint on the left one. This error is also evident in the box photos for the individual robot mode, but not the combined mode, curiously. ONSLT and C5 (a reference to the original Onslaught's team ID number) are tampographed on the hood of Onslaught's vehicle mode.

:He was also [[retool]]ed into ''[[Transformers Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]]'' [[Heatwave (Timelines)#Heatwave|Heatwave]] and is indistinguishable from ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Onslaught (G1)#BrutMaxSet|Onslaught]], including the paint error.

:[[Prime 1 Studio]] Onslaught was supposedly a ''huge'' non-transforming but screen-accurate polystone statue that was entirely based on his robot mode seen in the film. As with all Prime 1 Studio statues, he would probably featured an LED gimmick on the eyes. Had this release had not been canceled, you would have needed a ''bigger shelf'' for this guy.

{{canceledtoy}}

==Notes==
* For his appearance in ''The Last Knight'', Onslaught employed a retooled version of [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]]'s model, complete with new weaponry and Western Star 4900SF tow truck kibble replacing the original dump truck parts.
** According to an Instagram post from [[Josh Nizzi]], Onslaught and Long Haul are [[twin]] [[Relatives|brother]]s, justifying why they share a body-type. However, this little tidbit has not been referenced in any official media. <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/BX3g_imj9sG/ Josh Nizzi on Instagram, 16 August 2017: "Onslaught, the twin brother of Long Haul."]</ref>
* ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Onslaught was developed independently of the on-screen character, yet shares the same article for simplicity and because both of them are based off [[Onslaught (G1)|Generation 1 Onslaught]].
* During Onslaught's one line of dialogue, he appears to have an alternate mouth design based off [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]'s (compared to what is seen during the rest of his screen-time) to accommodate the exaggerated words. While his voice actor is uncredited, it bears resemblances to [[Steven Barr]] or [[John DiMaggio]].
* Onslaught's promotional [[Transformers Reaction Force|TRF]] prisoner dossier bio states he is developing a new weapon called The Decapitator, presumably the large claw he wields in the film.
* The prop truck used to portray Onslaught in ''The Last Knight'' returned to Daimler Trucks North America's headquarters in [[Portland]], Oregon, where it was put to work towing other trucks.

I get that '''not''' being named "Nemesis Prime" is really convenient for organization's sake, but it seems disingenuous to not acknowledge anywhere this is like constantly referring to, for example, one of the Universe Devastators as "Constructicon Devastator".

[[File:TFU Hotspot.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|Unfortunately, for a serious [[primus apotheosis]] subject, an Optimus Prime-like head isn't enough. Fake windscreens on the chest are common.]]

'''Hot Spot''' (aka '''Hot Zone''') leads by example. Whether it's a raging battle or a raging fire, he's right in the thick of things—and that's where he's happiest. While many Autobots get into trouble by not thinking in combat, Hot Spot is a natural warrior who excels at fighting on instinct alone. His fellow Protectobots find his endless energy inspiring (though a bit exhausting), letting Hot Spot command even the most philosophically different of robots like [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] as a tight and effective unit. He's a tough fighter to boot—strong, well-armed and well-armored.

Hot Spot can combine with his fellow [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] to form [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] or [[God Guardian]].

When the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] attacked an inhabited city on [[Earth]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] called upon the Protectobots to evacuate the civilians caught in the crossfire. Later, as Earth's orbit was diverted to the [[sun]] by the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], Hot Spot extinguished the flames engulfing the bone-dry crops of a farmer before quickly driving off to the next fire. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

[[File:Bot-episode-hotspot-guns.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|He fights fire with firearms.]]
Hot Spot, as part of Defensor, totally blew up [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. Afterwards, he was with the Protectobots when they saved some window-washers from a burning skyscraper, helping [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] extinguish the flames with liquid nitrogen. Later still, Hot Spot and the other Protectobots were ordered to help defend [[Ark (G1)|Autobot Headquarters]] from a Decepticon attack. They merged into Defensor and activated his useless force field, which almost immediately deactivated, allowing the Decepticons to blast Defensor back into his component parts. {{storylink|B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.}}

By [[2006]], the Protectobots had risen to become a major presence in the Autobot army. Hot Spot participated in the liberation of [[Paradron]]. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} He, [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] were among a group of Autobots who battled the Decepticons on [[Eurythma]].

Realizing that this "invasion" and the recent assault on [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] were connected with [[Unicron]] getting his eyes back, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] sent Hot Spot, Groove, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] up to Unicron to investigate. They were repulsed, violently, by Unicron's internal defenses. When Unicron and Starscream enlisted [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] to move the Planet-Eater's head to Cybertron to make it his new body, though, Hot Spot and his team were ready with energon explosives to blast Unicron back out into space. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine}}

[[File:G1 UltimateWeapon HotSpotStreetwise covering FirstAid.jpg|left|upright=0.95|thumb|He regrets the moments he got his arm extensions.]]
One day, the Autobots were asked to help the Dutch authorities deal with French rebels. After dispersing the human aggressors, Hot Spot was concerned about how they could protect the human civilians from the Decepticons and cover First Aid, who was helping the downed [[Blades (G1)|Blades]]. Later, as it turned out the battle was only a diversion to allow [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] to steal Metroplex's [[transformation cog]], Hot Spot, Rodimus Prime and Ultra Magnus tried to reassure First Aid of his value to the Autobots when the pacifist medic failed to stop Swindle. Unfortunately, just as First Aid left, the Autobots were called upon to deal with a rampaging Trypticon. Hot Spot ordered the remaining Protectobots to combine into Defensor even without First Aid to save a train full of civilians. After successfully saving them, Hot Spot tracked down First Aid to a junk yard and convinced the latter of his value to the Autobots. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

Later in 2006, the Protectobots arrived at the aftermath of the battle between the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] at [[Mark Morgan]]'s laboratory. They transported the injured [[Jessica Morgan]] to county general hospital and watched over her as the doctors restored her ability to walk with an exo-skeletal structure, enraging the robo-phobic senior Morgan. When Hot Spot tried to explain that they only wanted to help, Morgan shot back that they were only turning her into one of ''them''. This had [[Hate Plague|negative consequences]]. What a jerkface. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

When the Stunticons went on a rampage, attacking a human baseball stadium, the Autobots' human friend [[Kenji]] radioed for help. Hot Spot and the other combiner warriors answered his summons. After Hot Spot extinguished the blaze caused by the Decepticon attack, he joined his fellow warriors in forming Defensor and Superion. The sides evened up with the arrival of Bruticus, however, and a critical blow to Defensor's chest damaged Hot Spot, forcing the Protectobots to disengage. Through sheer cunning, the other Protectobots managed to drive off the Decepticons, and Hot Spot survived long enough to receive the proper repairs. {{storylink|Fight!

Later, the Decepticons tried to drive a rift between the humans and Autobots by using their ground-bound members to pose as crazed Autobot attackers. Hot Spot and [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] arrived on the scene and used their water sprays to wash off the fake Autobot symbols, revealing the Decepticons underneath. Not beaten yet, Onslaught and Motormaster unleashed a combiner whirlwind attack, but Hot Spot and Inferno whipped their ladders around, sending the Decepticon sub-commanders flying straight into a double kick by Optimus Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. {{storylink|Fight!

After the Decepticons uncovered their secret building site, the Protectobots rode into battle alongside the newly completed Metroplex. Hot Spot and his comrades arrived and formed Defensor just in time to act as the harbinger of Metroplex and his really big gun. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

On the planet [[Feminia]], the Autobots had constructed a massive energy tower, so naturally the Decepticons wanted to plunder it.

They had to be rescued by the mysterious and powerful [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]]. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

When [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] kidnapped the famous scientist, Doctor [[Dalton]], Hot Spot and the Protectobots joined the Aerialbots in speeding to his rescue. They were harshly rebuffed at [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s gate, however, by the Combaticons and Stunticons. Superion was torn to shreds, and Hot Spot converted to repair bay mode in order to bring the fallen Aerialbots back on line. His teammates held the line, fending off Bruticus and Menasor while Hot Spot hurried to finish his work, and Blades snuck inside Trypticon to retrieve Dalton.

In [[2011]], [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] attacked Cybertron looking to take control of [[Vector Sigma]]. Hot Spot and [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] were on the front lines defending Cybertron against the Combaticons. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} As Defensor, Hot Spot's team continued battling on Cybertron for some time. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Later, Hot Spot and the Protectobots assembled on Earth at [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s command. Their mission was to stop the Decepticons from interfering with [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]], who were searching for the hidden location of the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. On a security sweep, the Protectobots ran across their old foes, the Combaticons, and went into battle. The two teams quickly assumed their combined forms as Bruticus and Defensor, as the fighting escalated. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

When Galvatron made another strike on Cybertron, this time to steal the super-metal [[Cybertonuron]], Hot Spot and the Protectobots assembled before the [[space bridge]] on Earth to be transported into battle. Seeking out the Combaticons on the battlefield, the Protectobots soon formed Defensor and fought once more with Bruticus. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Defensor and Bruticus's battle continued as Defensor delivered a devastating smash to Bruticus's back. For at least part of the battle, the two teams disassembled again, as Hot Spot and Blades were seen firing upon the aerial Combaticons again. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

[[File:Hm12 Hot Spot Shouki.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Hot Spot and the Protectobots were dispatched to [[Peru]] with the [[Trainbot]]s when a volcano erupted, leaving a mountainside village in dire peril. Their rescue mission was blocked by the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. Hot Spot was ready to tear into the enemy, but [[Shouki]] insisted the Protectobots proceed on to the village to protect the innocent lives. Hot Spot relented, but the Protectobots nevertheless failed to reach the village. They were intercepted by the Decepticons' second wave, the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. Although they formed Defensor, the Protectobots were taken out of action by [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]'s paralysis ray, which was strong enough to leave them completely immobilized. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}}

Hot Spot and the Protectobots were part of a strike team that flew to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to disrupt Scorponok's gathering of Decepticons. They immediately formed Defensor upon entering the battle. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}} When the planet [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]] sent out a distress call asking for energy, the Autobots of Earth responded. While they were loading the Trainbots full of supplies, however, Galvatron and the Decepticons arrived to take the energy for themselves. Hot Spot and the Protectobots fought back against the enemy, and formed Defensor to counter Devastator on the battlefield. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

After the death of Ultra Magnus, the Autobots were desperately trying to pick up the slack during Sixshot's campaign of destruction around the globe. Hot Spot and the Protectobots assembled as Defensor to go out and confront Sixshot at one of the attack sites, but they apparently didn't fare too well. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} When the Decepticons seemingly abandoned Earth, Hot Spot and the Protectobots assisted Spike in rebuilding the planet after the enemy's departure. On one occasion, they located Sixshot's old command base. By combining into Defensor, the Protectobots helped Raiden and Computron obliterate the base, wiping out all trace of the Decepticons' presence. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

Following a lengthy period of inactivity, the Decepticons renewed their attacks on Earth. With Fortress still off in space, Spike Witwicky dispatched Hot Spot and the Protectobots to attend to the threats. In Canberra, [[Australia]], the Protectobots confronted Bruticus at one of Scorponok's new Death Towers. As Defensor, the Protectobots were beaten severely by Bruticus. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} As part of Defensor, Hot Spot participated in the Autobots final battle with Scorponok's Decepticons at the North Pole.

The Protectobots made a complete recovery and then some: the transfusion had given them the ability to combine!

In this prophetic vision, the Protectobots were tasked by Optimus Prime to look after the [[Pullen Power Plant]], only for it to come under attack from both the Combaticons and the Stunticons. By merging into Defensor, and with the help of [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], the Protectobots were able to safeguard the plant.'' {{storylink|The Special Teams Have Arrived}} {{storylink|Second Generation!}}

Hot Spot and the other Protectobots were then created on Earth by [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Wheeljack]] and the Autobots after they stole a recording of [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s combiner transformation sequence and modified it. {{storylink|Command Performances!}}

[[File:Protectobots-marvel24.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67]]
Hot Spot accompanied Optimus Prime and his fellow Protectobots to [[Energy Futures Industries]], where they squared off against [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and the Combaticons to prevent them from stealing the [[hydrothermocline]], a potentially limitless supply of energy. To prevent property damage and potential civilian casualties, the Autobots agreed to be uploaded into a virtual fantasy world in EFI's computer systems by [[Ethan Zachary]], a [[human]] programmer on site. Similarly, the Decepticons agreed so that the hydrothermocline would remain intact. The game scenario was arranged so that the "death" of either Optimus or Megatron would end the game. Once inside "[[Multi-World]]", Hot Spot convinced Optimus Prime to remain behind while the Protectobots eliminated the potential threats. Hot Spot himself did battle with his opposite number, [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]], in the region known as the Slimepit. Despite the hindrance the bog caused, Hot Spot still held true to Autobot ideals and threw himself in harm's way to protect the virtual inhabitants of Multi-World. In turn, they carried him to safety away from Onslaught, giving him the advantage he needed to defeat the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]. Despite their efforts, though, Optimus Prime ended up dying on this mission, and the Protectobots brought his body back to the Ark. {{storylink|Afterdeath!}} Back at the [[Wyoming base]], the increasingly insane Megatron would obsessively relive these events, {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}} ''as would the [[time travel]]ling [[Dicet Alpha-zero]].'' {{storylink|The Quest!}}

[[File:Democracykingofthehill.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Hot Spot lets the others know how he feels about these meetings with his "wanking" gesture.]]
Hot Spot was one of the several Autobots who watched through a window as [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ratchet]] futilely tried to repair Optimus Prime's body. {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend!}} After the funeral, Hot Spot and other high-ranking Autobots assembled to nominate a new leader. Hot Spot suggested their nominee possess wisdom just like Optimus Prime, since their late leader knew how and how not to fight. After the Autobots were rescued by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] from an attack by [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], Hot Spot and the others chose [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] to be their new leader. {{storylink|King of the Hill!}}

[[File:Hotspot-g1issue35.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"Now I've set the timer to ten seconds, so I'll just get in between you guys and—dammit! Not again!"]]
Under Grimlock's leadership, Hot Spot and the Protectobots were ordered to hunt down and apprehend the AWOL Autobots [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]]. They caught up with the deserters at a used car lot run by [[Big Steve Ludwig (G1)|Big Steve]], but a four-way skirmish developed between Blaster, the Protectobots, the Combaticons, and the human-led robot hunters, [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]]. In the end, Hot Spot and his crew only managed to capture Blaster. {{storylink|Used Autobots}} When a second encounter with the Combaticons endangered the lives of several [[Spacehikers|young humans]], Blaster not only saved the children and defeated [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] where [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] failed, but then willingly resubmitted himself to Protectobot custody rather than trying to escape. Impressed with Blaster's actions, Hot Spot decided to defy Grimlock's orders and let him go free along with the children aboard a [[mode lock]]ed [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]]. {{storylink|Child's Play (issue)|Child's Play}} Grimlock subsequently captured the Decepticon shuttle and brought it on board the Ark. Finding that Blaster had escaped, he nevertheless tried the human children before an [[Autobot Multi-Circuit Court]] and sentenced them to death as Hot Spot and the other Autobots looked on. {{storylink|Spacehikers!}}

At [[Alternate Reality, Inc.]] back on Earth, the human [[Ethan Zachary]] replayed some of Optimus Prime's memories of Hot Spot in an attempt to convince the former Autobot leader that he was more than just a computer program. {{storylink|Pretender to the Throne!}}

''Following Optimus Prime's return to life, Hot Spot and the Protectobots were assigned to guard the backup copy of the [[floppy disk]] that had enabled his resurrection, stored at an [[Alternate Reality, Inc.]] warehouse. Alerted to Combaticon activity at [[Rutter U.S. Military Base]], the team was relieved by the Autobot [[Powermaster]]s so they could go and deal with their old rivals. Unfortunately, they were too late to stop the Combaticons' theft of military technology; worse yet, upon their return to the warehouse, they discovered that the Decepticon Powermasters had stolen the disk in their absence. Combining into Defensor, they tried to stop the villains from escaping, but a barrage of fire from the underhanded Combaticons knocked the giant over.'' {{storylink|Prime Bomb!}}

Hot Spot led a team of Autobots sent to [[Earth]] by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] to counter the threat of a [[Cobra]]-rebuilt [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]. Megatron's new form was more than a match for them, however, and nearly all of his team were destroyed. Only Hot Spot and [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] survived the encounter. {{storylink|Final Transformations}}

As the last survivor still on Earth, Hot Spot observed Cobra hauling a trailer of Transformers technology salvaged from the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], and noted that his orders included keeping Autobot tech out of the humans' hands. He single-handedly attacked the convoy, drawing fire from numerous Cobra tanks, until he managed to destroy the trailer by ramming it off the side of an embankment. Weary and on the brink of shut-down, Hot Spot self-destructed to keep Cobra from using his own body as a replacement source of technology. {{storylink|All or Nothing!}}

Following the assault of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s [[Blitz Engine]]s on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Hot Spot was seen clearing up the mess, putting out fires alongside [[Hosehead (G1)|Hosehead]] and [[Blades (G1)|Blades]]. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 1}}

===The Special Teams===
Hot Spot and the rest of the Protectobots were posted at the [[Pullen Power Plant]] to defend it while its human workers had been evacuated due to the possibility of a landslide in the area. Blades soon spotted the Stunticons heading towards their position. Racing to meet their incoming foes, Hot Spot was surprised to witness these newcomers combine into Menasor.To combat this new threat, the Protectobots merged once more into Defensor. The Decepticons soon found himself losing the battle and disperse, though the storm around them had gotten too bad for the Autobots to give chase. Hot Spot admittedly felt he had too much work to do at the plant to bother going after the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Special Teams}}
{{-}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:Hotspot-warwithin.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|My invisible partner already has this dance—]]
After the signing of the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]], many of the special teams went into hiding or broke up to continue fighting on different factions. Hot Spot maintained the Protectobots, one of the late model specials teams, in secret. The group watched the battles rage around them, continuing to help when possible, intervening to uphold CIA where necessary, and trying to overcome the shortcomings of the combination process.

Upon learning that [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] had persuaded the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] to join his [[Ultracon]]s, Hot Spot led his team to the [[Tagan Heights]] to counter the threat of [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] by using Defensor. {{storylink|Escalation}} Unfortunately the plan backfired as Defensor became too focus on beating Devastator and not enough on safeguarding his surroundings. After being talked down by Springer, the team divided and quickly concocted a plan to defeated Devastator; Hot Spot lifted First Aid to reach a port on Devastator's leg and plug a cable into it, while the other end of the line was plugged into Tagan Heights' power grid by Groove and Streetwise. The overload of electricity fried Devastator, knocking him unconscious and forcing him to separate into his component 'bots. {{storylink|Devastation}}

Hot Spot subsequently became obsessed with overcoming the problem with their combined form. The team's analysis was interrupted by an attack by the [[Chaos Trinity]], as Hot Spot was one of the [[Unbinding|Four Angles of Dissolution]] [[The Fallen]] needed to awaken [[Primus]] and draw [[Unicron]] to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. After the previous failure against Devastator, Hot Spot was unwilling to risk using Defensor again, and his team was defeated by the [[Dark science|enhanced powers]] of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and his allies, [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] and [[Bugly (G1)|Bugly]]. {{storylink|Confrontation (issue)|Confrontation}} Hot Spot was taken to a [[Well of All Sparks|subterranean chamber]], where energy from his and three others' Sparks served to unlock the seal of Primus. [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], another of the Four, eventually freed himself and rescued Hot Spot in what might have been an embarrassing role reversal... if he'd been awake for it. {{storylink|Conflagration}}

During [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s reign over [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], he was sent to stop [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]'s rampage. Despite merging with his fellow [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] into [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]], he was defeated even with the aid of the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]]. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}}

Once they had recovered, Hot Spot and the Protectobots followed an anomalous energy signal to the remains of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s lab, where they found the offline [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]]. They called it in to [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], who asked to be kept notified of any developments. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}}

Sometime before Cybertron was abandoned, Hot Spot was a dispatch officer, searching for viable soldiers to fill out the ranks.

Two years after the fall of [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] in [[New York City]], Hot Spot was among the surviving Autobots stranded on Earth. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 1: "New Arrivals, Old Encounters"|New Arrivals, Old Encounters}} He was present when [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]] returned from space and told them Cybertron was restored. {{storylink|Space Opera—Final Tableaux: Orphans of the Helix|Orphans of the Helix}} While most Autobots returned to Cybertron, Hot Spot was one of those chosen by [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] to remain on Earth. He and [[Kyle Pennington]] agreed that the Autobots, despised by humanity as they were, really needed better PR. Pennington suggested that he and fellow fire truck [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] do stuff like extinguish fires and save cats from trees, which Hot Spot thought was a great idea. Nobody else did. {{storylink|Police Action: Part 1}} He went on to aid in the search for the Decepticon forces hiding on Earth, but their lack of success and the fact that nobody really saw him as a leader got Bumblebee down. Hot Spot tried to cheer him back up, but was left behind when Bumblebee chose to deal with things on his own. {{storylink|The Question}}

[[File:WordsHangInTheAir-Pallbearers.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|Always a pallbearer, never a pall.]]
After returning to Cybertron, Hot Spot helped extinguish fires and look for survivors in the wakes of several mysterious explosions. {{storylink|Stick Together}} He later brought an injured [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] to [[Fixit (G1)|Fixit]]'s medbay for treatment. {{storylink|City on Fire}}

Hot Spot joined the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' following its return to Cybertron. When the ship encountered a coffin floating in outer space, Hot Spot, [[Mirage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Mirage]], [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] and [[Grotusque]] carried it in, under the command of Megatron. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|Words Hang in the Air}} After the coffin was opened and the ''Lost Light'' began vanishing, Hot Spot fled with the rest of the ship's crew to an escape craft. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|Predestination: A Beginner's Guide}}

Despite having transferred to the ''Lost Light''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crew, Hot Spot and Streetwise were seen extinguishing a fire at [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]'s bar back on Cybertron. {{storylink|Quest for Fire}}

[[File:MistakesAndMayhem-Protectobotssortof.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|So in sync with each other that they keep calling Mainframe and Grotusque "Blades" and "Streetwise."]]
After the ''Lost Light'' was restored, its crew attended [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]]'s "pre-wake" on board the ''[[Vis Vitalis]]''. Hot Spot, Streetwise, Blades, and Groove all busted a serious move on the dance floor. {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}}

Hot Spot was one of four other crewmembers chosen to escort Mirage back to Cybertron after he started seeing apocalyptic visions. Streetwise joked that the five of them were "Protectobots." {{storylink|The Possible Light}} Once they arrived, Mirage led them hurriedly to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] to tell them about his vision, when suddenly [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]]'s [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] attacked, who was hoping to destroy the [[space bridge]] to Cybertronian colonies. [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] countered him, but [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] feared the Autobot combiner wouldn't be enough, so he used the [[Enigma of Combination]] to create another. Hot Spot, the other four "Protectobots," and [[Rook (Generations)|Rook]], who had wandered into the group, were all combined into the mighty [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]], who managed to defeat Devastator. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}} With the Constructicons temporarily contained, Optimus Prime worried that none of Defensor's components had reverted to their normal forms since becoming a combiner; Prowl noted that it was difficult for combiner teams to stay separate for long. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}}

Hot Spot and the Protectobots later departed Cybertron, apparently intending to return to the ''Lost Light''. {{storylink|The Transgressors}} It took several months, but they finally caught up with the ''Lost Light'' on its quest for Cyberutopia. Much had changed. [[Getaway]] was now captain of the ship, and held strict rules about socializing and helping other races on their journey full-pace towards Cyberutopia. Asking around, the Protectobots learned most of the senior staff, including co-captains Rodimus and Megatron, had apparently abandoned the ''Light'' in order to make faster progress on their own. In fact, the regretful [[Riptide (G1)|Riptide]] informed them Getaway had led a mutiny against the captains, abandoning them on [[Necroworld]] to the [[Galactic Council]] and [[Decepticon Justice Division]], then used mnemosurgery to reprogram the crew into believing otherwise. Hot Spot and the others attempted to flee before Getaway did the same to them, but were captured by the security team and placed in an infinite memory loop by [[Sunder (G1)|Sunder]]. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 1): Full Circle|Full Circle}}

Riptide managed to survive Getaway's attempt to dispose of him, hiding away in the ship until he could rescue the Protectobots. Rook had been killed by Getaway and [[Atomizer]] while they slept, so First Aid suggested they un-entomb [[Ambulon]]'s corpse as a replacement leg for Defensor. At the shuttle bay, Defensor and Thunderclash tried to fight their way through the security team, but Getaway had hired [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] as the new head of security. He blasted Thunderclash and broke apart the unstable combiner with a single swipe of his blade. Hot Spot, Blades, Groove, and Streetwise were dazed enough for Getaway and the others to bring them down with a hail of gunfire. Only First Aid, Riptide, and the seriously injured Thunderclash managed to escape the ship. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 3): Journey's End|Journey's End}}

Apparently their injuries weren't as bad as they seemed, as all five Protectobots were perfectly fine as they attended Ultra Magnus' parting toast as the ''Lost Light'' completed its victory lap. {{storylink|How To Say Goodbye And Mean It: Part 2}}

:Hot Spot transforms into a blue Mitsubishi Fuso Great fire engine. As a [[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]-style combiner torso, he has a third mode as a "repair bay", somewhat remeniscent of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Powermaster Optimus Prime]]'s combat deck. In this form, he is equipped with waldo arms to "repair" other vehicles. Hot Spot can connect with [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s city mode in this form as well. Another alternate mode allows him to function as an armored car carrier, by extending his legs in vehicle mode and attaching his guns and Defensor's chest plates; he has deck space to carry a single small vehicle in this form. Unusually for G1, Defensor's head is an integrated part of Hot Spot rather than separate combiner kibble.

:Hot Spot's chest plate was initially made of painted [[die-cast]] metal. However, later runs replaced this with colored plastic and also had some paint application changes on his headlights. A plastic-chest yellow-eyed version (as opposed to the red eyes on the other releases) has been reported but not confirmed.

*'''Protectobot Hot Spot''' (Voyager Class, [[2012]])
**''Accessories'': "Water Blast" projectile

:''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Hot Spot is an Asian market and [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive redeco and [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Inferno (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Inferno]] with a new head, transforming into a fictional firetruck based on the 2002–2007 {{w|Pierce Manufacturing#Gallery of Pierce Apparatus|Pierce Contender}} series of trucks. He is armed with a non-removable arm cannon with a spring-loaded "water blast" projectile. As with [[Grapple (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Solar Storm Grappel]], the bars on top of his shoulders have been enlarged so that they work with [[C joint|3mm clips]]. The vehicle panels on Hot Spot's forearms can rotate 180° in order to get them more out of the way. This is a feature not documented in the instructions or shown in the image to the right, but it is shown in the [[packaging|package]] [[stock photography]].

:This figure was the model for the non-toy ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' incarnation of [[Hosehead (SG)|Hosehead]]. The original version of this sculpt was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Pyro (G1)#Timelines|Spark]], and it was separately retooled to make ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Reveal the Shield]]'' Solar Storm Grappel. It was then redecoed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Artfire#United 2|Artfire]], using tooling from both the original Inferno version and the newer Grappel version of this sculpt.

*'''Protectobot Hot Spot''' (Voyager, [[2015]])
**'''3 of 5: [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two rifles
:Part of the third wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Voyager Class toys, ''Generations'' Hot Spot transforms from a firetruck resembling a modified [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Rosenbauer Panther 6x6]] to a robot resembling his original design. He can combine with the Deluxe Class [[Blades (G1)#Generations|Blades]], [[First Aid (G1)#Generations|First Aid]], [[Streetwise (G1)#Generations|Streetwise]], and [[Rook (Generations)#Generations|Rook]] and Legends Class [[Groove (G1)#Generations|Groove]] to form [[Defensor (G1)#Generations|Defensor]]. Like the other ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager Class toys, Defensor's head and torso kibble is incorporated into the toy itself, rather than being add-on parts. Hot Spot's two rifles combine into a longer rifle for the combined robot. In an undocumented feature, Defensor's head can be opened while Hot Spot is in Firetruck mode, revealing a bucket and sprayer. As a bonus feature, the bucket can seat a [[Titan Master]] or a [[Prime Master]], a play feature advertised on the Inferno retool of the mold. Hot Spot is notably articulated for a ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager, featuring double elbow joints and over 90 bends in his knees, though waist and ankle joints are omitted.

:Contrary to his instructions, stock photography, and even how he is packaged, Hot Spot is not intended to have double knee joints. Each knee link should be rotated back 90° at its lower hinge and snapped forward into the lower leg behind the siren, making the legs far more stable.

:Officially this toy omits the G1 repair bay mode. There are many [[fan mode]]s to correct this official oversight.

:This mold was later retooled to make ''Combiner Wars'' [[Onslaught (G1)#Combiner Wars|Onslaught]] and [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service#Version 4.0|Transformers Figure Subscription Service]] [[Bludgeon (G1)#Generations|Bludgeon]], and retooled from the original mold into ''Generations'' [[Pyra Magna#Generations|Pyra Magna]] and ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' [[Inferno (G1)/toys#Generations|Inferno]]. The thighs, hips and biceps were later reused for the ''Collaborative'' figure [[Ectotron#Toys|Ectotron]].

:Hot Spot was only available in a two-pack with [[Blades (G1)#Transformers (2014)|Protectobot Blades]], which was released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Hasbro's Asian markets, while in the United States, it was officially an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive that was later also flipped by other online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]] for a hefty markup.

==Notes==
[[File:G1HotSpotHeads.jpg|thumb|Sometimes you feel like a mouth. Sometimes you don't.]]
*Like [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s ever disappearing-and-reappearing visor, Hot Spot would occasionally switch between having a [[mouthplate]] or having a mouth drawn '''on''' his faceplate in his appearances on the original ''Transformers'' cartoon. The two most prominent instances of him having a mouth occur in "[[Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine]]" and "[[The Ultimate Weapon]]"—episodes that seem to have been animated by two different animation companies, suggesting that Hot Spot's mouth may have come from an alternate [[character model]]. Or, at least, a recurring [[José Delbo|artist mistake]].
*Hot Spot was one of the few Autobots (like Metroplex) in the G1 cartoon to have red eyes instead of blue.
*Hot Spot was given an [[homage]] in the ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' line; [[Firebot (Armada)|Firebot]] (a crash-response truck) was redecoed in light blue with red-and-white warning stripes.
*Hot Spot's original vehicle mode is rendered quite differently from his toy in both animation and comic books. Whereas the Mitsubishi Fuso has four front wheels and two in the rear, the opposite is shown in media depictions.
*Despite having his own robot mode stock photography on the box of his first ''Generations'' toy, the instructions use the stock photograph of Inferno with Hot Spot's newly sculpted head photoshopped (and over-sized) over the top.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''26'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Energo weapon|'Energo' sword]], twin 'stunner' laser rifle, galaxial rocket launcher, 3 rockets
:Grimlock's toy was originally part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' Dinosaur Robo series. When [[Hasbro]] imported the toy in 1985 for the ''Transformers'' line, its blue pelvis was changed to red, its sword was changed from chrome to flat red, the Diaclone driver mini-figure was dropped but still retained the cockpit though later releases had it permanently locked shut, and its teeth were altered [[for safety reasons]].

:The original Grimlock changes from robot into a robotic ''{{w|Tyrannosaurus}}'', and comes with a red [[energo weapon|energo-sword]], a black double-barreled rifle, and a rocket launcher with three silver rockets.

:In Japan, he and the other four Dinobots were offered as mail-away items during ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (toyline)|Operation Combination]]''; Grimlock cost 2300 yen (his original retail price) and 2 [[Robot Point]]s.

*'''Grimlock''' ([[Classic Pretender]], [[1989]])
**''Accessories:'' Pretender shell, helmet, "Atom-Smashing Submachine Gun", "rocket launcher" dino-tail
:The [[Classic Pretender]] version of Grimlock is much smaller, simplified and slightly modified, but still transforms into a robotic ''T. rex''. His dino tail becomes a rocket-launcher-gauntlet thing that can be held by either the inner robot or outer shell, but either way has got to be a ''bear'' to aim properly. He came with a large human [[Pretender]] shell with a rather knight-like armor theme, with a helmet and large cannon with a blade on the barrel, giving him a pseudo-sword.

:His shell's head looks a lot like a younger {{w|Ed Asner}}.

{{note|Pretender Classic Grimlock's function was "Lieutenant Commander" instead of "Dinobot Commander", very likely due to the lack of other Dinobots for sale at the time.}}

Grimlock was mostly unchanged from to the Hasbro release, but sported a silver painted face instead of Hasbro's orange painted one.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Grimlock, was renamed from "Tiran" to "Drago", originally the Italian name of [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

He came with the [[Anti-tank cannon]] "partner" machine which could be ridden by Grimlock (or any other Action Master) or unfolded via spring-loaded [[gimmick]] to form a really ''big'' hand-held "long-range mortar launcher".

:The only new toy in the third wave of second-year ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Deluxes, Grimlock is a [[redeco]] of [[Dinobot (BW)#Toys|Dinobot]] in gray and gold with black spots, transforming into a "raptor" of some variety. His tail detaches and separates to form a gear-powered, spinning blade weapon, while the central "tail bone" separates to be used as a sword. The entire assembly can store in [[robot mode]] by flipping down the tail-mount and pegging the blade's base to the peg on his lower back. He also has a "mutant mask", halves of a dino-skull that flip up to cover his more robotic head. Thankfully these pieces are not pinned in, and can be easily removed for better clearance. He was also slightly [[retool]]ed from the original mold to have ratcheting shoulders and space for an "energon chip" [[rubsign]].

: Grimlock is extra-notable for suffering from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]], making his hip-joints in particular prone to snapping off. Grim.

===Alternators/Binaltech===
[[File:AlternatorsGrimlock toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Me Grimlock no can munch metal, but can burn rubber!]]
* '''Grimlock''' (2005)
**''Alternator ID number:'' '''9'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-10'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun, energo-sword

: For the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line, Grimlock's [[alternate mode]] was changed from a dinosaur into a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]], 1:24 scale silver {{w|Ford Mustang}} with opening doors, hood, and trunk, a detailed interior, [[rubber tires]] and a working steering mechanism. His engine transforms into a double-barreled gun, and he also carries an orange "energo-sword" which can attach to the underside of his vehicle mode. The toy is one of the most-complained-about ''Alternators'' toys, due to its notoriously finicky transformation (with many small steps that must be performed in exactly the right order) and to several pieces which have a tendency to pop off with relatively small amounts of force. And it's a Grimlock who doesn't transform into a ''Tyrannosaurus rex.

: The main difference between Hasbro's ''Alternators'' version of the toy and the Japanese ''Binaltech'' version is that the latter has its vehicle shell partially made out of painted [[die-cast]] metal parts, whereas the ''Alternators'' version is made entirely out of plastic (not counting the rubber tires). In addition, the ''Binaltech'' version's engine/gun and the wheel's rims are [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]], whereas they're simply painted silver for the ''Alternators'' version.

:This sculpt was retooled into ''Alternators/Binaltech'' [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Wheeljack]].

===Classics===
[[File:Grimlockclassicstoy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Me Grimlock want to try new appearance, how me look in thigh high boots and stiletto heels?]]
*'''Grimlock''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, missile, removable tail

: ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Grimlock, a gray and gold ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', is a re-imagined form of his original toy, and is notably designed to run rather than drag (theories on the ''T. rex'' having changed from "caveman adversary" to "Carl Lewis in lizard skin" since the Generation 1 incarnation).

:This mold features a few design elements likely influenced by Grimlock's Pretender toy; his bayonet blaster is an homage to his gun/blade combo weapon from said toy, and his tail detaches to become a handheld weapon as it does for the inner robot of his Pretender toy. Another similarity is the ''T. rex'''s upper-body forming the [[robot mode]] legs (though the ''T. rex'' head forms his feet this time around).

:Grimlock's bayonet blaster can be deployed in either mode and fires a clear red projectile. Both weapons can be stored on his back when not used. As with most ''Classics'' toys, Grimlock features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]], placed on the left side of the tyrannosaurus torso/his left leg.

:A common complaint about the figure is the size of the peg being too small in relation to the peg-hole, making it impossible to lock the arms into place. The black shoulder flaps above are apparently meant to tab into these and lock the whole thing together, but the flaps are remarkably out of alignment and the tabs themselves are too short to even reach the slots. In addition, the bayonet blaster has a hair-trigger and for no apparent reason, his fist holes are a few fractions of a millimeter too small to accommodate standard 5mm peg accessories that most modern ''Transformers'' toys use.

:An unpainted ''Classics'' Grimlock was used at the [[BotCon 2007]] customization classes to create ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overkill (G1)#Timelines|Overkill]]. The mold was also [[redeco]]ed to make [[Grimlock (SG)#Toys|''Shattered Glass'' Grimlock]] and [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|''Universe'' (2008)]] Overkill.

**''Accessories:'' Gun, Energo-sword

:Based upon his appearance from ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', this version of Grimlock transforms into a Cybertronic heavy tank. This transforming partly die-cast and plastic Grimlock was initially unreleased due to the cancellation of the ''Transformers'' series of ''Titanium'' toys at retail (the line would continue on for ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' at the three-inch scale). The toy was eventually released in the fall of 2008 as a Toys-R-Us exclusive, alongside the also-almost-unreleased War Within [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Prowl]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, missile, removable tail

: ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Grimlock is an extensive redeco of ''Classics'' Grimlock, with generally more intricate paint detailing to make him more closely resemble the ''Generation 1'' toy. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the heat sensitive rubsign seen on the ''Classics'' release, and instead features vacuum-metalized "chromed" plastic (in a similar [[gimmick]] to the ''Beast Wars'' [[Transmetal]]s toys). The vac-metal is used on his [[beast mode]] feet, as well as the ''Tyrannosaurus'' torso, which was, oddly enough, in Hasbro's original deco plan for ''Classics'' Grimlock.

===Masterpiece===
[[File:Grimlock Masterpiece.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Me Grimlock be smaller than Prime, but me Grimlock more expensive!]]
*'''Grimlock''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-8'''
**''Accessories:'' Energo sword, twin 'stunner' lasers rifle, waiter apron, waiter bow tie, waiter tray, 7 unique waiter glasses, intelligence transfer helmet, crown (reissue exclusive), flame (reissue exclusive)

: Released in March of 2009, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Grimlock is based upon his original toy and cartoon model, transforming into an outdated view of the ''Tyrannosaurus'' rather than the more accurate depiction seen on ''Classics'' Grimlock. Of all the Masterpiece figures, Grimlock features both the least complex transformation, as well as the least deviation from his original toy's essential [[transformation scheme]].

: ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock features the usage of [[die-cast]] metal for his dinosaur mode's toes and an LED mounted within his right fist which illuminates both his gun's barrels and his sword. As a result of said mechanism, the only articulated part of his right hand is the thumb. Similarly his left hand is modeled much like [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Masterpiece Starscream's]] hands with the thumb and index finger fully articulated with the remaining fingers joined together. Possibly as a show of good faith regarding the sacrificed articulation, [[TakaraTomy]] designed his alternate mode's arms to be highly poseable, featuring full articulation of the claws with the arms themselves attached to the body with ball joints.

: He features many gimmicks, including the ability to change his eye color in either mode from red to blue with the flip of a switch found at the back of his head in robot mode, and by opening the top of his head in dino mode and switching the eyes around. This allows the owner the choice of representing the use of blue in the cartoon (and his IDW alternate mode) or the use of red in most other media, including his original toy. His tail is connected to his head, and by wiggling and moving it, the head rotates at the base of the neck. Pushing down on his torso in dinosaur mode makes his legs move up higher into his body, and as a result his head will look up. His alt mode's head features jaws that snap shut at the press of a button hidden on his cheek; in addition, it also has a tiny sculpted flame thrower in its mouth, but [[for safety reasons|for your safety]], it does not actually breathe fire (boo). Besides his weapons, he also comes with a cloth apron and bow tie to go with a drinks serving tray he carried in "[[Madman's Paradise]]", as well as the device he used to transfer his super-intelligence into [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] in "[[Grimlock's New Brain]]".

:King Grimlock is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock with a color scheme based on his appearance in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|G1 Marvel comic]]. All of his previously flat gray surfaces are coated in silver paint, his gold chrome is more vibrant, and his previously black plastic is now a dark blue in reference to the limited color palette of the Marvel Comics issues. The colorless chrome used for his tail and arms is now a light blue chrome. He also features some different paint applications: on his dinosaur chest, inside the clear panel on his robot mode chest, and on his robot mode knees. His toes are now metallic yellow instead of metallic gray. He lacks the faceplate paint of the original Masterpiece Grimlock. His sword is also tinted orange rather than neutral clear, and the clear panel on his chest is clear dark green plastic instead of neutral clear. Curiously what were the red eyes in dinosaur mode on the original ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock are now the blue eyes on King Grimlock, and the blue eyes are now the red. The product also features the crown worn by Grimlock in the comics instead of the accessories from the cartoon, such as the waiter apron or the glasses. The [[package art]] is drawn in an homage to the early style of ''The Transformers'' published by Marvel Comics, as well as a bilingual ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' style [[bio]] on the back of the package.

:King Grimlock was only available via [[TakaraTomy Mall|Toy Hobby Market]], the official shopping site of TakaraTomy. Pre-orders were open through [[July 31]]st through [[September 11]]th 2009, with the toy shipping out in December.

: [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Grimlock is a [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] redeco of ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock with King Grimlock's accessories (also redecoed). His gray is darker, he features additional painted details on his thighs, biceps, and waist to mimic label stickers included on the original 1985 figure, the dark gray painted details on his robot mode toes are now gold, the dinosaur mode's toenails are now coated in a thick gold paint rather than the polished golden look of the TakaraTomy version, and the red paint used on the metal area on his crotch is a lighter shade, matching the adjacent red plastic less.

:Grimlock's teeth and claws have been slightly rounded for this release.

:The stock photography to the right is mistransformed, depicting Grimlock's beast mode claws as pointing straight down (as they are in robot mode) instead of laying flat to the ground.

*'''Grimlock''' (Voyager Class, 2012)
**''Series / number'': '''1 / #003'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[2013]]-[[June 29|06-29]]'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''TG19'''
**''Accessories'': Sword, shield
{{note|''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Grimlock (WFC)#Generations|Grimlock]] was repurposed as Generation 1 Grimlock by ''Transformers Legends'' and ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]''.}}

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Grimlock transforms into a robotic ''[[Popular beast alternate modes|Tyrannosaurus rex]]''. He comes with a sword with a [[5 mm post|5mm handle]] and a peg on either side of the hilt, as well as a shield which can mount via its single peg. Grimlock features 5mm ports for his hands, as well as on his forearms/lower dino legs and shoulders/dino hips. Interestingly, the hollow sides of his dinosaur arms feature [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]-compatible [[C joint|3mm ports]].

:His main [[gimmick]]s, however, are that he has a light in his dinosaur mouth, and a chomping dinosaur jaw. When a lever behind his dino head is pulled, his mouth opens, and the light turns on, strongly illuminating his head. This gimmick can also be used in robot mode, as his dino head ends up inside his hollow chest, although it's not as effective. The [[insignia]] on his chest is the Lightning Strike Coalition variant of the Autobrand.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the seventh wave of Japanese ''Generations'' toys, replaces his gray plastics with darker shades, coats much of his gold plastic in shiny metallic gold paint, paints his tail tip silver and his abdomen red, and features more [[Paint operation|paint details]], among other deco changes.

:This toy was [[redeco]]ed for all the other versions of ''Fall of Cybertron'' Grimlock, but was also used for ''Age of Extinction'' [[Grimlock (AOE)#Voyager Class toys|Grimlock]].

*'''Dinobots''' (Platinum Edition 5-pack, 2015)
**''Accessories'': Two-piece spiked maul

:Part of the ''Generations [[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' Dinobots 5-pack, Grimlock is a redeco and retool of [[Grimlock (AOE)#Voyager Class toys|''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class Grimlock]], sporting a Generation-1 inspired deco and a head. This release also suffers from a small degree of mold deterioration: the ''T. rex'' heels that connect with his forearms and the shoulders/''T. rex'' upper jaw halves seemed to connect loosely.

:Grimlock was bundled with Slug, Slog, Snarl, and Strafe.

: This set was initially released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Canada in October 2015, followed by Singapore a month later (although it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular store there or not). Much later, it became available via the Australian Toys"R"Us website (but never found in stores). In the United States, it was initally only available online via [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[BigBadToyStore]] before being found at discount chain Ross a year after its intial release in Canada.

*'''Grimlock''' (Cyber Battalion, 2015)
:Part of the new ''Generations'' Cyber Battalion series, this new Voyager-sized mold of Grimlock transforms from robot to dinosaur and back. The figure has a far greater range of articulation than many other Cyber Series figure to date. A small switch on the back of his beast-mode head moves his jaw up and down.

:This version of Grimlock is a unique amalgamation of three versions of the character; the robot mode head, torso, and transformation scheme take cues from [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Warrior Class|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' Grimlock]], the coloration is borrowed from [[Grimlock (AOE)#Toys|the toys of the live-action movie Grimlock]], lastly the styling and (scientifically outdated) stance of the dinosaur mode resembles the classic G1 Grimlock look.

:Like all of the ''Cyber Series'' figures, Grimlock did not get distribution in the United States, but has been reported showing up in Asian markets and was also solicited to South America. Toy importers did stock this series in a limited capacity and they sold out quickly in 2015 and effectively disappeared at that time.

**''Accessories:'' Dragon/bird/gun accessory

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Titan Master]]s, Clobber is a retool of [[Squeezeplay (G1)#Generations|Crashbash]] and transforms from a robot into a head compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger figure in the line. Clobber features a new head piece based on ''Generation 1'' Grimlock's animation model. [[Hasbro]] stated at [[BotCon 2016]] that Clobber ''is'' Grimlock himself, leaving the reasons for his name unclear, but some kind of attempt to avoid confusion with the contemporaneous ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Grimlock (WFC)|character]] seems a likely explanation. Clobber features peg holes in his feet to allow him to stand on a variety of ''Titans Return'' figures, and is packaged with a beast accessory with three modes: a dragon for Clobber to ride, a ''T. rex'' formed by combining with Clobber, or a 5mm-compatible gun for larger figures. His new face piece was molded in black plastic, rather than gunmetal.

:As with Crashbash, Clobber's instructions feature the same error for steps 6(5)-8(7).

:This toy also doubles as the independent ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' character [[Clobber (BW)|Clobber]].

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' "Dinobot Grimlock" is a brand new mold which transforms into a very Generation 1-inspired, wide-hipped robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. He can combine with his fellow Dinobots to form [[Volcanicus (Generations)#Toys|Volcanicus]] and can attach any ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style Deluxe Class figure. Like the other Dinobots in this subline, he features translucent plastic with gold paint on the inside to give him a 'layered' look reminiscent of [[#Generation 1|his original toy]]. He also includes two pieces of Prime Armor that each can hold a [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]] (and by extension, an [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]] or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and attach to his forearms as battle claws. These also double as feet for Volcanicus. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Grimlock includes an Enigma of Combination (dubbed the ''Dinobot Enigma''), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to him via the previously mentioned Prime Armor. In beast mode, he can carry an Enigma, Matrix core, or Prime Master ''in his mouth'', where Volcanicus's chest would be. If you're particularly creative, you could place a Matrix in his mouth.

:In China, Grimlock was also released along with the other four Deluxe Dinobots as a gift-set, exclusive to Hasbro China's TianMao site.<ref>https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=559183834163&skuId=3853426938808</ref>

He STILL doesn't have his 'Energo' Sword, but he can more than compensate by using the newly-molded guns or even one of the two Magma Swords (based on the one from his ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Grimlock_(G1)/toys#Generations|self]]) that the set comes with.

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] stores in the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia, this ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]''-branded two-pack features "1984 Grimlock" in the form of a Generation 1-inspired redeco of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Grimlock (Energon)#Toys|Grimlock]]. The toy is slightly retooled to give it [[5 mm post|5mm ports]] in its hands, allowing it to hold the included redeco of [[Razorclaw (G1)|Generation 1 Razorclaw]]'s sword (not pictured in stock photography). Undocumented in the instructions, he can be combined with ''Energon'' [[Swoop (Energon)#Toys|Swoop]] to form an inter-continuity version of [[Mega-Dinobot]]. As an Evolution 2-Pack, Grimlock was packaged alongside an ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' Voyager Class [[Grimlock (AOE)#TRUEvolution|Grimlock]] toy.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, shrunken character renders for both Grimlocks, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release. The sword is also packaged on the center of the bubble, instead of hiding underneath it. This figure was also the first release of the [[Grimlock (Energon)#Toys|''Energon'' Grimlock]] mold in Japan.

Being the sixth use of the sculpt, it's starting to show instances of [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]], as several sections (such as the tabs that hold the robot mode torso together, or the parts of the beast mode neck formed by the robot mode feet) don't fit properly anymore.

:In the United States, Grimlock has thus far been found at Big Lots and Family Dollar stores. In Australia and Europe, he is available at general retail again, just like the previous [[wave]] of Legion Class figures. In 2015, he was re-released in redesigned packaging now resembling the currently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''' packaging template, but replacing the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers".

:The [[stock photography|stock photo]] on the back of the packaging depicts him with ''Beast Hunters'' Cyberverse Commander Class [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#BHCyberverse|Optimus Prime]]'s sword, which is also listed as an accessory in the Hasbro website product listing for this toy. The actual toy doesn't include a weapon. Furthermore, the [[instructions]] printed on the back of the packaging of the 2014 release are completely inaccurate, as they are for an [[Grimlock (AOE)#WalmartENmold|entirely different "Grimlock" toy]]! (This was fixed for the 2015 release.) Even if the instructions ''had'' been accurate, they probably wouldn't have mentioned that Grimlock can also form a leg of [[Abominus (Prime)#Beast Hunters|Abominus]] (or a combiner of his redecoes).

His design is based on his ''Age of Extinction'' counterpart, but also takes some cues and the coloration from the Generation 1 version of the character. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

*'''Grimlock''' (September 2001)
**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Brainwave Transfer Device, stand

:The original Grimlock PVC was re-released in a solid metallic color for the fourth act of the "Super Collection Figure" series, available only as a rare "[[chase figure|Secret Figure]]", packed at a ''presumed'' ratio of one in every ten cases. (This ratio was given for Secret Figures in later Acts, and it seems unlikely it would change.)

:It is unknown if he replaced a random figure in the lucky case, or was a consistent replacement for a specific one.

===Heroes of Cybertron===
[[File:HOC Grimlock.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Me Grimlock join Mechs Without Hats.]]
*'''Grimlock''' (2003)

: Part of the third wave of ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'', this version of the ''Super Collection Figure'' Grimlock mold was cast in translucent blue plastic and painted over, leaving his eyes and a stripe on the top of his head unpainted to attempt a [[light-piping]] gimmick. This version lacks the Brainwave Transfer Device from the Japanese release, which, let's be honest, was probably for the best.

: This toy was sold on a blister card rather than blindpacked, and a collector card of the character was included instead of the stand.

===Hard Hero===
[[File:HardHero Grimlock bust.JPG|upright=1.2|thumb|'''ME GRIMLOCK DEMAND TO KNOW WHERE ME GRIMLOCK'S LEGS ARE!''']]
*'''Grimlock''' (2003)

: [[Hard Hero]]'s Grimlock is a 6.5 inches tall cold-cast porcelain bust, sculpted after his cartoon appearance (complete with blue eyes) and holding a white energo-sword in his right hand. The bust was limited to 2500 pieces, with an additional 100 being specially signed by sculptor [[Jason Ray]]. Grimlock was number 9 in Hard Hero's main series of ''Transformers'' busts.

===MyClone===
*'''Grimlock''' (Takara, 2003)
** ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MTF015'''
** ''Accessories:'' Grey display stand

:Released in the second wave of the ''[[MyClone]]'' line of Transformers PVC figures, this [[super deformed]] Grimlock comes with a hexagonal grey display stand, which can link up with the identical stands included with other ''MyClone'' figures. His modular design allows his parts to be mixed and matched with those of any other ''MyClone'' figure, though he stands out as rather unique about the Transformers MyClones, as he's the only one in alternate mode.

[[File:DiacloneGrimlock.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Me Diaclone Grimlock...kinda boring.]]
[[File:Grimlock Natural History Museum.JPG|upright=1.3|thumb|Me Grimlock '''BIG''' person, so they put Grimlock's statue in Natural History Museum!]]
[[File:G2GrimlockArtwork.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Heavy Metal Greymon.]]
* Grimlock was originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Dinosaur Robo Tyrannosaurus". The only differences between this incarnation and the ''Transformers'' release is that the ''Diaclone'' version has a silver-chromed sword and a blue crotch piece rather than red, as well as coming with a green-and-black Diaclone pilot figure.
* The original ''Diaclone'' commercial for the mold that became Grimlock showed him spewing fire from his mouth. So much for truth in advertising!
* There is a Grimlock toy placed in the showcase in the dinosaur section of the {{w|Natural History Museum}} in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]]; oddly, this doesn't make him the [[Slag (G1)|only one]].
* Grimlock's function is [[Lieutenant Commander]] instead of Dinobot Commander on his Pretender Classic and Alternator toys. Lieutenant Commander is [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]'s rank. Deal with it, egobot.
* Despite being released in three different color schemes during the ''Generation 2'' toyline, a piece of recolored card artwork—seemingly from the collection of a former [[Hasbro]] employee—has surfaced on [[eBay]] (alongside recolored artwork of [[:File:G2SwoopArtwork.jpg|Swoop]] and [[:File:G2SludgeBoxart.jpg|Sludge]]), showing what may have been an intended fourth version of the Grimlock toy for that line. Being bright yellow with teal stripes, it certainly ''looks'' very [[neon|'90s]].
* [[T-Wrecks]] may have been intended to be a new form for Grimlock, based on the references in his tech spec bio to his ''Beast Wars'' "Attack Specialist" function and other hints. However, T-Wrecks' appearances in the [[3H Productions]] ''[[Transformers: Universe (comic)|Universe: The Wreckers]]'' comics suggest he is a new, unrelated character.
* A working name for the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Ford Mustang mold which ultimately ended up as Grimlock was "[[Freeway (G1)|Freeway]]", according to various early store listings.
* The [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] toy released in the [[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|''Energon'' toyline]] was originally created by [[Hasbro]] for release as a special new-mold addition for the [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'' toyline]], and was intended to represent Generation 1 Grimlock. However, it wasn't and it didn't for the combination of budgetary concerns and keeping the combination gimmick (since he combines with the packed-in [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]] to form "[[Mega-Dinobot]]") only in the ''Energon'' toyline, which had combination as a central theme.

[[File:Flamewar2.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|She sings from somewhere you can't see.]]

'''Flamewar''' may not seem like the ideal [[Decepticon]] soldier. Immature, mercurial and opportunistic, she seems more interested in pulling pranks on her fellow soldiers than pulling her weight around the base; but this childish attitude masks a warrior not to be underestimated, possessed of an array of skills ranging from spying and sabotage to science. Perhaps her most valuable trait, however, is her fervent loyalty to the Decepticon cause—as long as her [[spark]] still burns, she'll keep the legacy of the Decepticons alive, even if she's the [[Pax Cybertronia|last one around to do so]].

She's not a big fan of [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]].

{{voiceactor|[[Brandie Tarvin]] (English)}}
[[File:Tre flamewar singlewhitefemale.jpg|upright=1|thumb|left|There is no possible way that this is not ridiculous.]]
As one of the last Decepticons from the era of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], a dissatisfied Flamewar became an agent for the [[Tripredacus Council]], who sent her to observe [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]'s efforts on [[Ceti Alpha Seven]]. When the [[Autobot]]s sent a strike force to destroy his [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] cloning facility, Flamewar ambushed and disabled [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], leaving them to Deathsaurus to eliminate. (He failed, of course.)

Although all of the Autobots eventually escaped, Flamewar reported to the Council that Deathsaurus's experiments had been a success. Suddenly, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] broke into her transmission, revealing that [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]] had introduced a virus into the [[Virulent Clone|clones]], and that they had finally tracked her down. With her exposure, Flamewar was deemed useless as an agent by the Council, and they remotely destroyed [[Flamewar's ship|her ship]]. {{storylink|Descent into Evil}}

When Flamewar regained consciousness from that whole explodey-ship deal, she found herself the prisoner of Ricochet, [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]], and [[K-9]]. They demanded that she work as a double-agent for them against the Decepticon/Predacon Alliance, but she refused. "Ricochet" and the others then dropped their disguises and revealed themselves as [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], and offered Flamewar a place in the organization of the Predacon criminal [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]. Not really having much else to do, Flamewar accepted. {{storylink|Intimidation Game}}

Shortly before the signing of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], Flamewar posed as a revived [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and used a [[Steelgrave|pliable intermediary]] to recruit an army of dissatisfied Predacons. Together, they conquered a string of planets in the [[J'kozian sector]], stealing resources to build a drone army that could re-ignite the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]].

Her plans were derailed by a [[Airazor (BW)|team]] [[Crossblades (BW)|of]] [[Stiletto (BW)|Maximals]] on an intelligence-gathering mission. They sabotaged the drone-production facility on [[Nibari]], reprogramming the drones to obey the native rebels. Most of Flamewar's army was killed by the drones while she was tied up by a challenge of personal combat the Maximals goaded her into. Defeated and utterly humiliated, Flamewar was sent back to Cybertron for trial. {{storylink|The Razor's Edge}}

A true fanatic, she refused to accept the original Megatron was dead, believing instead that Death itself was Megatron's ally, and would never take him. {{storylink|Flamewar (G1)#BotCon2014|BotCon 2014 Flamewar profile card}} {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur}}

In [[2984]], on the run from Autobot bounty hunter [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] for unspecified crimes ("bad things", according to her), Flamewar attacked the [[Galadria Space Bridge Outpost]] with the intent of using its [[space bridge]] to put herself beyond the pursuer's reach. Just as she had finished slaughtering her way through the Autobots who attempted to stop her, she was discovered by [[Cannonball (G1)|Cannonball]] and his pirate crew of [[Star Seeker]]s. Flamewar had never heard of the pirates and had no interest in Cannonball's proposal that she join his crew... until a hefty handful of [[energon]] chips and other valuable goodies changed her mind. She subsequently accompanied the Star Seekers through the space bridge to [[Unicron]]'s disembodied head, which Cannonball sought to use to drain the energy of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], but the scheme was opposed by the Cybertronian Knights and Flamewar was defeated by Devcon in the battle that followed. As they were being cuffed and taken away, however, Star Seeker weaponsmaster [[Ferak]] slipped a small [[Lukythian Warp Star|Warp Star Warhead]] into Flamewar's palm. {{storylink|Hoist the Flag}}

[[File:FlamewarasCaptain-TPJ.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.65|right]]
Using the warhead to effect an escape from the Knights' custody, the Star Seekers took off on a new quest: a search for the immortal [[spark]] of [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]. Following the treacherous Decepticon's trail to [[Shut-Up-Tornado-I'm-Trying-To-Think|a nameless planetoid]] near [[Quintesson]] space, the crew discovered a mountain stronghold, where Flamewar was able to put her linguistic skills to use translating various runes. Within the ruins, they found a half-dead Quintesson who professed to be a former ally of Starscream's, but after the alien was brought on board, Flamewar discovered the truth: in actuality, the long-deceased Quintesson's body was possessed by Starscream's spark! Working with Starscream, Flamewar staged a mutiny, allowing Starscream to possess Cannoball's body and imprisoning the ex-captain's own spark in a containment device. Now with a ship and crew to continue her mission to reinstate the [[Decepticon Empire]], Flamewar embraced the pirate life, donning a modified version of Cannonball's helmet and even beginning to talk like the captain, indicating that she would soon become the next in the line of pirates to bear the name... {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur}} As [[Shokaract]] mused about the current state of affairs in the universe, Flamewar took up the command seat of the ''[[Tidal Wave (G1)|Tidal Wave]]''. {{storylink|Legacy (issue)|Legacy}}

Flamewar engaged [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] on the surface while Sixshot and Shadow Striker set the base to blow. Once her comrades flew off, Flamewar broke off her attack and retreated to The Rise's back-up redoubt. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Three}}

Flamewar made a nuisance of herself at the new base. She thought it was funny to tell the arriving [[Barricade (IDW)|Barricade]] that Shadow Striker's quarters were his, with predictable results. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}} When Lieutenant [[Slipstream (G1)|Slipstream]] tapped Flamewar and several others for a mission, Flamewar insisted on calling them "Team Stream", hoping it would catch on like "Strika's Heavies" during the last war. They raided a [[Titan Net]] subsidiary hub in order to gain access to the closed network that linked the Titans in orbit. A [[data-bomb]] locked down the Titans to keep them from interfering in the next stage of the Rise's plans. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Four}} Flamewar and the others escaped aboard [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] after [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] sent his Titan, [[Vigilem]], to attack the [[Winged Moon]]. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Five}}

==Notes==
[[File:Malkova control art - flamewar and shadow striker.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.2]]
* Early in development, there were supposed to be three Decepticon biker chicks, but the idea was dropped to keep the focus on the Insecticons.<ref>[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/timelines/descent/flamewar Flamewar toy notes at BWTF.com]</ref>
* Flamewar's creator, [[Ben Yee]], insists that Flamewar is absolutely not [[Raksha]], despite all appearances.
* According to the April/May 2006 issue of the [[Fun Publications]] [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club (magazine)|Transformers Collectors' Club Newsletter]], the first samples of Flamewar came back with an Autobot sigil rather than Decepticon, requiring a quick fix before she was "mass"-produced for the convention.
* She collects [[Hasbro]] memorabilia. How shameless of them.
* Her "Razor's Edge" body, or rather the one under the Megatron costume, appears to be based on ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]/[[Decepticharge]], incidentally also ''Alternators'' [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]'s body.
*The 2005 IDW incarnation of Flamewar is not a Decepticon but rather hails from a Cybertronian colony world,<ref>[https://twitter.com/TheJohnBarber/status/970694291034054656 Tweet by @TheJohnBarber, 2018/03/05]</ref> given the rarity of female Transformers born on Cybertron in the modern era.
*The 2019 IDW version of Flamewar seemingly blends the general look of her BotCon 2014 toy with the shoulder-mounted wheels of her BotCon 2005 toy, the red/orange chestplate of her [[Flamewar (Prime)|''Transformers: Prime'' toy]], and more prominent "horns" on her forehead crest seemingly inspired by her [[2005 IDW continuity]], ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' or [[Transformers Trading Card Game]] depictions. Homages all the way down!

[[File:Animated-toy MultipleSizeOptimusPrimes.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|[[Optimus Prime (Animated)/toys|''Animated'' Optimus Prime]] toys of different size classes. From left to right: [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], [[Activators]], Deluxe Class, Voyager Class and Supreme Class.]]
'''Size class''' is how [[Hasbro]] determines the size and price of a toy. It also determines the amount of budget spent on the production of a [[Toy|Transformers toy]], such as paint or electronics. The logic behind size classes is simple: retailers can order a [[case]] of toys, knowing exactly how much they will sell for and exactly how much shelf space they will occupy. All the Deluxes in a line have identically-sized packaging and cost the same price. When you run out of Deluxes, you order a new case and put them right back where they belong. This is incredibly convenient, especially compared to [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]], where the sizes and prices of figures varied widely.

Each size class corresponds to its own '''price point''', the rough retail price of the individual toys. Price points do not correspond to exact retail price, but suggest the rough value one can expect to pay. A $10 price point toy may retail for $9.76 at Wal-Mart while being $10.99 at Toys-R-Us and $7.99 on sale at Target.

Up until ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', toys with a uniform gimmick were sold as their own distinct assortment, which often resulted in an assortment consisting of no more than four or six different toys. Since Autobots and Decepticons often had their own distinct gimmicks, this resulted in separate Autobot and Decepticon assortments. Starting with ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'', however, [[HasKen|Hasbro and Kenner]] introduced uniform price points which continued as ongoing size class assortments throughout the line (although, in the case of longer lines, an assortment could occasionally be reset while still retaining the same size class name).

The intended class of a toy is relevant to all phases of its design process. To sell at a given price, there are tight formulas for how much plastic can be used, how many paint applications are allowed, whether electronics can be included, and how complex the transformation and articulation can be. Further, since a size class is literally a ''size'' class; toys are limited in their measurements, so that they will fit into the same size packaging as other toys in their class. As an example, the ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Voyager [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] toy, in robot mode, is very short compared to other toys in his class. This may be because he transforms into a mostly-linear plane, with his weapon added on as a tail assembly, making him even longer. Regardless of whether there was room in the budget for more plastic, there may not have been room in a Voyager-sized box for him to be any bigger. For years, most Transformers toys were packaged in vehicle mode; however, starting with the 2010 Transformers toyline, Voyagers began to be packaged in robot mode. This eventually spread to the Deluxes in the 2012 revival of the ''Generations'' toyline. However, there were still exceptions; the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' Deluxe [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobots]] were packaged in their beast modes.

Size classes have not been consistent from line to line, with names often changing to affect marketability. Furthermore, beginning with the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|''Dark of the Moon'' line]], Hasbro began to slightly reduce the size of figures for each price point. While originally justified due to the inclusion of the somewhat more complex [[MechTech]] weapons, subsequent lines didn't have those weapons, and yet the gradual downsizing continued. For example, 2018's ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS18|Bumblebee]] is the exact same height as ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Hunt for the Decepticons promotion|Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' [[Hubcap (TF 2010)|Hubcap]] in robot mode, a ''Scout'' Class figure from 2010 (although admittedly Bumblebee has a considerably more intricate transformation; but then again, Hubcap's transformation was unusually simplistic for its time).

==Beast Wars==
[[File:BWToy Ultra OptimusPrimal BoxedSample.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' had five size classes. From smallest to largest:

* '''Basic,''' the cheapest at US$5.
* '''Deluxe,''' at US$10. This was one of the strongest performing price points, and nearly all future retail lines would feature product in the deluxe price range.
* '''Mega,''' at US$15. Toys of this size were often [[shelfwarmer]]s.
* '''Ultra,''' at US$20. Only eight toys were sold at this price point.
* '''Super,''' at US$30. This size class contained only one toy, [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimal Optimus]].

Basic and Deluxe are sold on cards to this day; size classes larger than Deluxe were, and are, sold in boxes.

These size classes were also utilized in the concurrent ''[[Animorphs]]'' line.

==Beast Machines==
[[File:BMToy Silverbolt CardedSample.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' continued ''Beast Wars''' size classes, but increased the price of Basic to US$7.

'''Supreme''' was introduced as a US$40 size class. [[Cheetor (BW)/toys|Cheetor]] was the only Supreme in this line; a Supreme [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal]] toy was planned to be in this line, but was moved to ''Robots in Disguise''. Both of these supreme class designs featured electronic lights and sounds. Supreme Optimus Primal even featured speech by voice actor [[Garry Chalk]].

Two additional size classes, [[Deployer (BM)|Deployers]] (US$5) and [[Beast Rider]]s (US$10) would turn out to be short-lived. The size of Ultra toys was increased while maintaining the price.
{{-}}

==Robots in Disguise==
[[File:Ut rid carded.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' used the ''Beast Machines'' size classes, though the Basic price point was once again lowered to US$5. However, most of the toys at this price point were either [[Spy Changer]] two-packs or [[redeco]]ed Generation 1 combiner limbs, making them somewhat smaller and less intricate than previous lines' Basics (a notable exception is [[Obsidian (RID)|the recolor]] of [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]], which was sold for less than the original version).

''Robots in Disguise'' also had three Mega-priced multipacks of smaller figures (the three smaller Predacons, a trio of recolored ''Beast Machines'' Basics as Autobots, and the recolored [[Laser Cycle]]s).

Several of the line's toys ran afoul of the differences between US and Japanese packaging policies. The [[Team Bullet Train]] toys were individually packaged as Megas, despite being smaller than the usual members of that size class. The near-Basic-sized [[Wedge (RID)|Wedge]] was sold as a Deluxe.
{{-}}

==Armada==
[[File:Ut armada supercon.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' toyline renamed or repurposed all the existing price points:

* '''Mini-Con,''' at US$6.50 replaced the Basic price point, with 3-packs of [[Mini-Con]]s.
* '''Super-Con,''' at US$10 replaced the Deluxe.
* '''Max-Con,''' at US$20 replaced the Ultra. All Max-Cons had electronic sound effects.
* '''Giga-Con,''' at US$25. All Giga-Cons (except for [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]]) featured electronic lights and sounds.
* '''Super-Base,''' at US$40 replaced Super, but used the Supreme price point. The only figure of this class was [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Optimus Prime]], who featured an infrared-activated automatic transformation gimmick, as well as lights and sounds.
* "[[Unicron/toys|Unicron]]" was in his own class using the Supreme size, at US$50. He had lights, but no sounds.

The old US$15 price, previously used by the Mega size class, was effectively discontinued, taken up by role-play toys like the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] and the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Dark Saber]].
{{-}}

==Universe (2003)==
[[File:TFU03-toy EnWideload.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The original ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line used the ''Beast Wars'' size class designations, but only had '''Deluxe''' and '''Ultra''' (the latter at US$20).

After the ''Universe'' line as such had effectively ended, repackaged ''Energon'' (and even later, ''Cybertron'') toys were sold on ''Universe'' cards as discount chain [[exclusive]]s, divided into the price points '''Basic''' (US$5) and '''Deluxe''' (US$8).
{{-}}

==Alternators==
[[File:Ut alternators early.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line was unique insofar as it only consisted of a single price point (US$20). This was owed to the uniform [[scale]] of the line at 1:24, as well as the fact that all the toys from the line were based on licensed vehicles.

Some retailers actually listed the toys under the "Mega" price point, but this designation was never officially used by Hasbro. In fact, there was an official "Mega Alternators" assortment of sorts, which consisted of shrinkwrapped two-packs consisting of two individual toys (mostly limited to [[shelfwarmer]]s such as [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]], [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys|Side Swipe]] or [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]), available for the price of a single Alternators toy exclusively at Toys'R'Us.

Hasbro later replaced the original mass retail Alternators assortment with a second one, which remained at the original one's price point. In the case of Alternators [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]], Hasbro reportedly accepted a smaller profit margin (since the toy was more expensive to produce than other Alternators toys) so they could still sell it at the US$20 price point.
{{-}}

==Energon==
[[File:Ut energon boxed.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' took a somewhat random approach to size-class naming. The second [[Transformers: Energon (mini-comic)|pack-in catalog]] introduced the size class range as

* '''Energon''' (Basic), with the price back to US$7
* '''Combat''' (Deluxe) - US$10.
* '''Mega Combat''' (the former "Max-Con") - US$20. All Mega Combat (and the subsequently renamed Mega Class) figures featured sound effects.
* '''Commanders''' (the former "Giga-Con") - US$25. Commanders had lights and sounds depending on the figure.
* '''Leaders''' (the former "Super Base") - US$40. Leaders featured both lights and sounds.
* [[Unicron/toys|Unicron]] was given no size class - US$50.

The third [[catalog]] explicitly referred to the price points as

* '''Energon Class'''
* '''Combat Class'''
* '''Mega Class''' (a renamed US$20 Max-Con/Mega Combat class, not to be confused with the old ''Beast Wars''/''Beast Machines''/''Robots in Disguise''-era US$15 Mega class)
* '''Command Class'''
* '''Leaders Class'''
* Omega Supreme was given no size class.

The fourth and final catalog continued using the terms originated by the third (although each of the [[combiner]] teams has its own double-page spread, and the individual members have no price points listed, even though the limb and torso bots shipped as part of the Energon and Combat Class assortments, respectively), but finally listed Omega Supreme as '''Supreme Class'''.

==Cybertron==
[[File:Ut cybertron voyagerclass.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' changed the naming of some size classes, but retained others:

* '''[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends of Cybertron]],''' at US$3, with tiny [[Market six]]-aimed figures.
* '''Mini-Con Class,''' at US$5 was added for the Mini-Con two-packs.
* '''Scout Class,''' at US$7, formerly Energon Class.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$10, formerly Combat Class.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$20, ''Energon'' Mega Class (see ''Energon'' section above). Sound effects were dropped from all but four figures in this size class. [[Vector Prime]], [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Leobreaker]], [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]] and his smarter remold Dark Crumplezone retained their sound effects gimmick.
* '''Ultra Class,''' at US$25, formerly Command Class. Ultra class toys had lights and sounds.
* '''Leader Class,''' dropping the plural "s" from the previous "Leaders Class". Leader class figures featured lights and sounds, and (except for [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]]) featured several [[Cyber Key]] gimmicks.
* '''Supreme Class,''' remained the same. Supreme class figures had lights and sounds, with several different Cyber Planet Key gimmicks. [[Primus]] featured an [[Omega Lock]] accessory gimmick that was essential for his transformation.

==Classics==
[[File:Astrotrain packaging deluxe.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' kept the Deluxe and Voyager classes, renamed as

* '''Legends,''' at US$4 - Legends of Cybertron repaints, raised $1 in price.
* '''Mini-Con,''' at US$7, in three-packs again, replacing the Scout Class price point.
* '''Classic Deluxe,''' at US$10.
* '''Classic Voyager,''' at US$20.
{{-}}

==Movie==
[[File:Movie 1 voyager.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers (2007 toyline)|Transformers]]'', the toyline based on the 2007 [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]], retained many size classes from before:

* '''Legends Class,''' at US$4.
* '''Scout Class,''' at US$7.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$10.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$20. Continuing on from the standards set in ''Cybertron'' and ''Classics'', ''Movie'' Voyagers featured no electronics unless they were redecos of toys from previous lines.
* '''Ultra Class,''' at US$25. (Consisted of two Toys "R" Us [[exclusive]] ''Cybertron'' redecoes.)
* '''Leader Class,''' at US$40. The Leaders featured electronic lights and sounds, usually attached to a spring-loaded [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick.

The '''Supreme''' class was dropped. The Scout Class, which consisted entirely of [[redeco]]s of toys from the ''Energon'' and ''Cybertron'' toylines, was exclusively available at Target stores in the USA, but was sold at mass retail in Europe and Canada. Additionally, there was a gimmick-based sub-line named '''[[Fast Action Battlers]]''', which also sold at US$10 (like the Deluxe Class toys); a simplistic, cutesy sub-line aimed at young children named ''[[Cyber Slammers]]'', which also sold for US$8; and a new US$90 figure sold as '''Ultimate Bumblebee.'''
{{-}}

==Animated==
[[File:TFAnimated Leader Megatron BoxedSample.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Transformers Animated'' toyline]] has the following size classes:

* '''Activators''', at US $8. Features an automorph gimmick.
* '''Deluxe Class''', at US$10.
* '''Voyager Class''', at US$20.
* '''Leader Class''', at US$40. Features electronic lights and sounds, including speech samples voiced usually by the actors from the cartoon.
* '''Supreme Class''', at US$50. Only Roll-out Command Optimus Prime got released for this price point. It features electronic lights and sounds, including speech samples voiced by [[David Kaye]].

In addition, the [[Bumper Battlers]] size class replaces the movie line's [[Cyber Slammers]], going one better by featuring an extensive array of voice samples and sound effects. However, with this comes a price increase to US$10. Legends Class toys of the Animated cast were released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' toyline instead.
{{-}}

==Universe (2008)==
[[File:Universe2008 Sunstreaker CardedCopy.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The 2008 [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' toyline]] has the following size classes:

* '''Legends Class''', at US$4.
* '''Deluxe Class''', at US$10.
* '''Voyager Class''', at US$20. Several of the redecos and retools of ''Cybertron'' toys had their sound effects removed and the battery compartments riveted shut, owing to pricing changes in this price point between their original manufacture and release in Universe.
* '''Ultra Class''', at US$25. All-new Ultra class figures featured lights and sounds.
* '''Supreme Class''', at US$50. This size class consisted solely of the Toys 'R' Us exclusive repackaged ''Armada'' [[Unicron/toys|Unicron]].
{{-}}

==Revenge of the Fallen==
[[File:Movie 2 voyager.JPG|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' was fairly similar to the first movie's toyline, with the addition of the Human Alliance and Supreme Combiner classes, as well as the prices jumping up a few dollars. Due to competition between mass retailers, Deluxe and Voyager were often marked down to around $10 and $20 respectively to drive sales to those stores.

* '''Legends Class,''' at US$5.
* '''Scout Class,''' at US$8.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$13.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$22.
* '''Human Alliance,''' at US$30.
* '''Leader Class,''' at US$45.
* '''Supreme Combiner,''' at US$100. Consisted solely of the dog-sized [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] toy.
{{-}}

==Dark of the Moon==
[[File:Movie 3 deluxe.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' divides the toys into two major categories. The Cyberverse line contains Legion (previously Legends) and Commander (replacing Scout, but slightly smaller and less complex) size classes and transforming playsets which come with either a Legion or Commander class figure. The MechTech line includes Deluxes class figures and above, with the new addition of Basic figures to the Human Alliance subset. Due to the inclusion of the large MechTech weapons with Deluxe, Voyager and Leader figures, they are slightly smaller than those of the same size class in previous lines.

* '''Legion Class,''' at US$5.
* '''Commander Class,''' at US$8.
* '''Human Alliance Basic,''' at US$10.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$13.
* '''Cyberverse Action Set,''' at US$15.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$20.
* '''Cyberverse Playset,''' at US$24, consisting solely of the Cyberverse Ark playset.
* '''Human Alliance,''' at US$35.
* '''Leader Class,''' at US$45.
* '''Ultimate,''' at US$75, consisting solely of the Ultimate Optimus Prime toy.
{{-}}

==Prime==
[[File:PrimeBHtoy-Ultimate-Predaking.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The [[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|''Prime'' toyline]] started with the 'First Edition' line released in November 2011, and continued into the 'Prime: Robots in Disguise' 2012 line. Continuing to use the Legion, Commander, Deluxe and Voyager size classes at their previous price points, it also adds a 'Vehicle Class' consisting of a Cyberverse transforming playset and Legion-class figure, a 'Weaponizer' class for larger-than-Voyager figures with pop-out weaponry in both modes, and a 'Maximus' class for figures that transform into Cyberverse-scaled battle stations / powered armor suits.

* '''Legion Class,''' at US$5.
* '''Commander Class,''' at US$8.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$13.
* '''Vehicle Class,''' at US$20.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$22.
* '''Weaponizer Class,''' at US$30.
* '''Maximus Class,''' at US$35.
{{-}}

==Generations==
===Studio Series===
Like previous movie lines, Studio Series contains three main categories; Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader. There are no Scout or Legion class figures to date; the only figures that can be considered to belong to these categories are the [[Arcee (Movie)#Studio Series|Arcee]], [[Chromia (ROTF)#Studio Series|Chromia]], and [[Elita-One (Movie)#Studio Series|Elita-1]] figures sold as a unit under the Deluxe price-point. Similarly, Voyager-sized figures with additional accessories are sold under the Leader price-point due to the cost of the extra plastic.

*'''Deluxe Class''' at US$19.99
*'''Voyager Class''' at US$29.99
*'''Leader Class''' at US$49.99
*'''Deluxe Multi-Pack''' at US$29.99 - Contains a Deluxe figure with mini accessories or figures
*'''Deluxe Class 2-pack''' at US$39.99 - Consists solely of the Bumblebee Then & Now 2-Pack
*'''Bumblebee Retro Multi-pack''' at US$59.99

==Age of Extinction==
[[File:CrosshairsPackaging.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toyline]] was split into two different series. One series was known as "Robots in Disguise" which featured gimmicky toys such as the "Power Battlers" which are successors to the "Fast Action Battlers", "One-Step Changers" which convert in one easy step, "Dino Sparkers" which are unarticulated and non-transforming figures of Autobots riding non-transforming Dinobots who can generate sparks by being pulled back, "Flip and Change" figures which transform by being flipped over themselves, a "Smash and Change" Optimus which converts when smashed into the ground, a "Mega One-Step Bumblebee" which transform in one step but is the size of a "Leader Class" figure, and a 22 inch tall electronic "Stomp & Chomp Grimlock which also converts in one step. The second series was a Generations series specifically for Age of Extinction which included "Deluxe Class", "Voyager Class", and "Leader Class" figures. The line also included "Legion Class" figures and two packs with both "Legion Class" and "Scout Class" figures exclusive to Wal-Mart. One last class is "Evolution Two-Packs" containing Age of Extinction versions of figures and redecos of older figures made to represent the past version of a character. Evolution Two-Packs are exclusive to Toys'R'Us.

Nothing on the provided link says that - in fact, there's no mention of Sawtooth at all, and the only reference to Great Byte is when Beechen responds to a question about "is he a replacement for Goldgear?" with "no".

I noticed that the user Malcontent has edited the pages for [[Brawn (G1)/toys| Brawn]], [[Jipe_(Malignus)|Jipe]] and [[Outback_(G1)|Outback]] to say the vehicle mode is based on a Suzuki Jimny SJ20. Is this right? I've never seen anything about it before and google leads me to the wiki pages and a couple of mentions that probably came from people reading said pages. Looking at the users other [[Special:Contributions/Malcontent|contributions]], I've noticed some others might be suspect too. Such as the model of [[Sandstorm_(G1)|Sandstorm's]] helicopter mode or pointless speculation of [[Cutthroat_(G1)|Cutthroat's]] monster mode.

'''[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]''' got the Hollywood bad-guy treatment, and therefore got truckloads of toys too!
He also ''became'' a truck later on. Funny, that is.

===Transformers (2007)===
====Legends Class toys====
[[File:Movie Legends Megatron toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Just what the hell do I turn into?]]
*'''Megatron''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Megatron'''
:[[Legends Class]] Megatron is the smallest mainline ''Movie'' Megatron toy. The sheer simplicity of the Legends class toy means that his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] is basically his [[robot mode]] splayed out. His robot mode is passably accurate, but has the Alien Queen-esque head design that was replaced with the finalized design after this figure's production (though due to the lack of detail, it can also be interpreted as his current head design). Due to his transformation scheme, he has swiveling waist. Despite it's simplicity, the Legends class figure is far closer to Megatron's actual design in the movie than most of his larger figures.

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

:The figure is misassembled in package with the arms being swapped putting paint applications and more sculpted detail on the wrong sides of his arms; it is a simple matter to rectify this though as they are on rather loose ball joints at the shoulder and are easily popped off and swapped round. It should be noted that the arms & head is molded in softer, rubbery plastic, and it was unknown if they would harden and break just like [[Scorponok (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Scorponok]].

*'''Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-14'''
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:Voyager Class Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his Cybertronic jet, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them. With a significantly different (and simple compared to other figures of the same pricepoint) transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm. His wings feature flip-out "ice blades", and pulling on a piece in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like pincer claws.

:Something interesting to note is that his feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two "rear toes" on each feet automatically close up when he's not standing up. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing, as the feet parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.

:The stock photo on the toy's packaging depicts Megatron with the unused head that appeared in some concept art. However, the rest of the figure's body is still modeled after the final character model.

*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:One of the first figures available in the ''[[Premium Series]]'' (although not explicitly identified on the packaging as such), Voyager Class Megatron was released exclusively at Best Buy on October 16th, 2007 alongside the North American launch of the ''Transformers'' movie DVD. Megatron has been completely redecoed, covering most of his previously grey parts with metallic silver paint and a black paint wash over the top of that. Black and gold highlights are used to offset all of the silver, while the transparent 'ice' parts are clear. These changes essentially make Megatron far more accurate to his movie appearance.

:Megatron is presented in robot mode inside a special display box similar in shape to the packaging for the Hasbro release of ''Generation 1'' ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]].

*'''Battle Over Mission City''' ("Screen Battles" two-pack, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:A Target exclusive redeco of Voyager Class Megatron in primarily beige and chocolate brown colors with brown paintwashes, this version replaces the ice colored translucent plastic with two shades of translucent orange to replicate a look that resembles Megatron's fiery demise (or atmospheric re-entry). Unlike the previous releases, this version's wings are painted to match the body color, so they give the appearance of molten slag. This version was only available in a two-pack with a mostly unchanged Deluxe Class [[Jazz (Movie)#TargetvsMegatron|Final Battle Jazz]] in reference to their fight on the skyscraper featured in the film.

:As the colors on this Megatron are very similar to the colors on the Screen Battles version of Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]], it can be assumed that those two sets are meant to also represent the climactic final battle at the end of the film.

====Leader Class toys====
[[File:Movie Leader Megatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Ohhhh! I turn into a big-boned guy!"]]
*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-07'''
:Leader Class ''Movie'' Megatron transforms into a silver Cybertronic assault jet. In robot mode, Megatron's right "[[Rocket Claw]]" disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable "[[mace|chain]] [[whip]]" weapon concealed within his forearm; pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a "[[fusion cannon]]," with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.

:Megatron's instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be center-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.

:There is an error in Megatron's legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation. In addition to ''that'', both of Megatron's hands have a finger misassembly. Two pieces are molded to have two fingers, while one is obviously supposed to be a thumb–however, this thumb is on the 'outside' of his hands instead of the inside. The prototype on the packaging's stock photos show the correct assembly.

:Possibly a dropped feature [[for safety reasons]], the right hand (partly a projectile tethered to the arm) is designed to launch out of his wrist via a spring-loaded firing mechanism. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was removed, though the firing trigger remains. One can either find a compatible spring or steal the spring in his left arm fusion cannon, then place it in his right forearm, though stealing the spring from his left arm would disable his fusion cannon-retracting Automorph.

{{anchor|PremiumLeader}}
[[File:Premium Movie Megs.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|"Hey, I got a tan!"]]
*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
:Premium Megatron is a redeco of the previously released Leader Class Megatron. The figure is now given far more movie-accurate paint applications of black, gold, & silver. Premium Megatron also features the classic transformation sound when the chest Automorph function is activated. The original "metal shriek" sound is retained when the sound button is pressed in vehicle mode.

:In the promotional photos of the toy, this version was pictured with a new vehicle mode face cover that fit the new head better. However, this retool was apparently dropped before actual production but can still be seen on the box back photography. All manufacturing errors from the first release are still present.

:Unlike some of the early "Premium Series" toys, Premium Leader Megatron was mass-released at a variety of retailers, instead of being an exclusive to any particular store.

:Released an an exclusive for Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong (ACG, also known as Ani-Con) 2008, The ''Premium Series'' Megatron toy is released without any changes along with [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Starscream_(Movie)/toys#DeepSpace|Deep Space Starscream]], [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Premium|''Premium'' Barricade]], [[Blackout (Movie)#Premium|''Premium'' Blackout]], and a [[Brawl (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Brawl]].

*'''Fusion Blast Megatron''' ([[Fast Action Battlers|Fast Action Battler]], 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

:Fusion Blast Megatron is a simple version of Megatron with dorky-looking proportions in robot mode, and it turns into an even dorkier-looking vehicle mode. The transformation sequence manages to be even more simple and non-involved than the other ''Movie'' Megatron toys by means of an Automorph feature very similar to the early Beast Wars flipchangers. Moving his back section down causes the torso to flip up, hiding the head and positioning the arms skywards. Though the figure requires a little more repositioning and folding, most of the transformation is done with a single step.

:The figure's packaging depicts Megatron with a different head sculpt and silver paint instead of unpainted gray plastic.

====Jollibee Kids Meal====
*'''Megatron''' (Jollibee Kids Meal toy, 2007)

:Available only at Jollibee fast food chains in the Philippines, this Megatron toy is functionally an upscaled version of his Legends class figure though with minor transformation differences. It also has a new head sculpt which is markedly more detailed than the Legends toy but still has the concept design head rather than the final version in the film.

===Revenge of the Fallen===
====Legends Class toys====
{{anchor|ROTFlegend}}[[File:TF-ROTF-Legends-Class-Megatron.jpg|After enduring countless "What do I turn into" captions, Michael Bay started from scratch.|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Megatron''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-02'''

:Megatron transforms from a reasonably accurate version of his movie robot mode to a reasonably accurate version of his tank mode (with a teeny extra Megatron face in his groin, without paint details probably to avoid creepiness). He has ball-jointed shoulders and hips in robot mode, plus elbow and knee joints. His alt mode turret is formed by merging his left and right arms, which is a neat callback to the first movie's fusion cannon, but means the turret can't rotate side to side, only pivot at the barrel.

:Several samples suffer from a disconnected lower left leg, which should be connected to the metal rod inside the upper leg. While the loose appendage cannot be repaired without extensive tooling, the upper leg is tight enough to prevent the leg from falling out during display or careful play. Speaking of legs, this Legends Class Megatron is somewhat prone to falling down with a light breeze of wind. The kibble on his robot mode back doesn't help the balancing at all.

:Megatron also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' EZ Collection sets. And like all first waves, He comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline. In Malaysia, this toy is also one of the four Legends Class figures to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can be obtained starting from the 12th of July along with Optimus Prime, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The second mainline ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Megatron toy is more slender than the larger Leader-Class Megatron, as it was based (more or less) on the finalized Megatron design, and as such, features a sleeker tank mode, a large lobster-claw like right arm and a normal-sized left arm. Unlike the larger toy, the Voyager's firing missile is located on the left arm, though the end is still sculpted to look like a set of fingers, and he also wears the entire top of the tank as a [[kibble]] backpack instead of having jet turbines like the Leader class toy. For some reason, he's also green (thankfully, less so than the stock image pictured here).

:He features two [[Mech Alive]] gimmicks. Turning his waist turns internal gears in his chest, while bending his right elbow makes a blade extend in and out of his claw.

**''Accessories:'' Missile

:This [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive three pack includes a redeco of Megatron's Voyager-Class toy from the first movie in a scheme basically identical to the first movie's Voyager "Premium Series" version (but with much fewer paint details), as well as the Voyager-Class [[The Fallen#GatheringNemesis|The Fallen]] and a redeco of Deluxe-Class [[Soundwave (ROTF)#GatheringNemesis|Soundwave]]. The back of the box and samples shown before release portrayed this Megatron as using the unrevised original head design from the first film, but the final version has the same head as past Voyager-Class Megatrons.

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]'' Megatron was to be a screen-accurate silver redeco of Voyager class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Megatron, but the toy (along with a [[Jetfire (Movie)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]]-armoured Voyager class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#VoyagerJetPower|Jet Power Optimus Prime]]) was canceled.

:Both Megatron and the accompanying Jet Power Optimus Prime would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]]. Of amusement is the fact the comics are essentially showcasing toys that have been canceled.

====Leader Class toys====
[[File:ROTF Leader Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Beefcake!]]
*'''Megatron''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The first and largest ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Megatron toy is based on an earlier design for Megatron that differs slightly from the final CG model. This design is more bulky and hunchbacked than the final design, has a right arm with a shoulder pad that doubles as a bladed shield, and also has a very short and gimpy left arm. Like the Voyager Class toy, he also features feet that do not look like the CGI model, which has large two-toed feet formed by the tank treads rather than flat, clawed feet that resemble those of the first movie's design. Leaving the feet retracted creates a more movie-accurate appearance when the legs are viewed from the front (when viewed from the side, Megatron's legs look like stubs).

:The figure transforms into a Cybertronian tank, though it lacks the wings seen in the film and is also less streamlined. In robot mode, Megatron's entire lower right arm is a spring-loaded missile launcher and the tank turret's armour/shroud can be mechanically repositioned to partially cover the cannon, with flip-out sword blade, as seen in the early concept design. Due to the amount of [[gimmick]]ry involved, the right arm has no elbow.

:Pressing the Decepticon symbol-emblazoned button on his chest activates his light, [[Mech Alive]], and voice sound effects ("I am Megatron!"). The Mech Alive mechanics involve shaking his head to and fro while panels in his chest shudder. The European release (sold in the UK and non-English speaking countries) proclaims just simply "Megatron!" with laughter. After a month or two, the American release became available in the UK as well as the Canadian province of Quebec, while English Canada (which usually stocks the American release) somehow got the European version in some areas.

:Interestingly, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|while]] [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|other]] [[Demolishor (ROTF)|figures]] in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' line suffered mold simplifications from budget cuts, Megatron got mold ''additions''. Hasbro's stock pictures depict a vastly different and much smaller shield which lacks the outer claw prongs and has different detailing, and there is no evidence that the flip-down feet had been implemented at all. These late mold changes may have been done to slightly increase the toy's accuracy to his movie depiction and, in the case of the flip-down feet, to make Megatron look like he actually has ''feet'' rather than stubs to walk on.

*'''Shadow Command Megatron''' (Leader, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Shadow Command Megatron, as the name suggests, is a mostly black redeco of Leader class Megatron, which much resembles the previous Fast Action Battlers ''Night Attack Megatron'' redeco. The figure sports more paint applications than the first release. The voice chip has been changed, instead of saying "I am Megatron!" like the initial release, it says "There is no command but mine!". The blast sound effect has also been changed to a laser sound, and a G1-esque sound effect plays when rotating Megatron's legs during transformation.

:Initial shipments of Shadow Command Megatron have a minor misassembly in his right shoulder that causes the laser sound effect to go off only when his arm is pointing backwards, as opposed to forward. It is fixable, but only after knocking out a pin.

*'''Cannon Blast Megatron''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)
**''Accessories'': Projectile

:A much simpler version of Megatron, this figure transforms by putting his arms behind his back and folding in half at the waist, more or less. His right arm has a spring-launched missile fired via a switch on the side, as well a soft plastic blade that can be folded out. Twisting the figure's right arm produces a chopping action. Due to the weird design of the feet and weight distribution, Megatron is difficult to stand up unless he is hunched forward.

**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''003'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV07'''
**''Accessories:'' Fuel tank halves/Double Cannons

:[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander Class Megatron is an abbreviated version of his Voyager counterpart, transforming into a single piece fuel tanker. The fuel tank splits in half, forming hand-held double cannons which then can be combined into a large cannon. The [[C joint]] mounting clip of the fuel tank is on a swivel, allowing the large cannon to be mounted onto the smokestacks and used in vehicle mode. His head is also on a pivot joint, allowing him to look up and down.

:Care must be taken while forming the rear cabin: The instructions tell you to fold the feet panels up after transforming the legs first, but it will cause some slight stress marks on the feet panels/smokestacks' joints. We recommend folding the panels up first while the legs are still separated.

*'''Megatron''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Fusion Cannon]], tarp/cape

:''MechTech'' Megatron now transforms into a <s>disfigured Mad Max truck</s> officially licensed Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and trailer, although it lacks many of the features in the movie, such as the spikes on the roof and the rope mesh on the hood. The forward half of the trailer-mounted oil tank converts into Megatron's [[MechTech]] Blaster, which in turn converts into a Fusion Cannon when the ladder is pushed in. Like all MechTech Voyager toys, his weapon can lock into this mode by pushing the ladder all the way in and rotating it to the right. Megatron has six MechTech [[5 mm post|5mm post]]/MechTech ports in vehicle mode, including three on his MechTech weapon, two on the steps below the truck cab doors, and a self-covering port (which automatically fills in the hole when a weapon is not inserted) on the roof. Though the truck cab and its "trailer" are a single entity that cannot be separated, Megatron does have an articulation joint between where the trailer and cab connect where the fifth wheel hitch would be, despite being formed from his independently-jointed legs.

:The rubbery tarp over the tanker is a two piece affair, with a detachable 'hood' accessory that slots into a port beside Megatron's neck. This deliberately obscures Megatron's badly mutilated face, a callback to the injuries he received at the climax of ''Revenge of the Fallen''. In [[robot mode]], two more MechTech ports become available on his legs, and two on the truck steps end up on his arms; all other MechTech ports from vehicle mode are still usable. Megatron's fusion cannon can even be mounted on his back, like in the movie, thanks to the truck's cab (and associated MechTech port) winding up on his back. Care should be taken when transforming the shoulders, as the tiny Mack dog hood ornament is prone to being snapped off by the shifting black bumper section. It is also quite difficult to get his chest to tab into his shoulder panels due to his arms getting in the way, and his already short pegs having to tab into very shallow holes.

:Megatron is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:The gun from the Evasion Mode Optimus Prime toy, released several years after, is intended to be compatible with this figure-not only is it sculpted to resemble the shotgun Megs used (twice) in the movie, a tab on the handle (not the post that was supposed to be the handle for ''Age of Extinction'' Optimus) allows him to wield it properly by slotting onto a slot on his hand. It even has 5mm posts on its side so that it can mount in movie-accurate fashion on his back!

: The movie Megatron [[Kreon]] is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' body, which is odd since it's his [[Dark of the Moon]] body that shows up in the Ride (and as a photo-opportunity "mascot" character on the park grounds). He was available exclusively in a box set sold at the ''[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]'' gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies (and a logo-plate rather than the older 2x4 logo-brick). Megatron's [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged.

: Where the other park-exclusive toys can be purchased through Universal's online store, the ''[[Kre-O]]'' pack is ''only'' available at the park proper at the time of this writing.

His transformation is triggered when you depress a tab on the back of his wind vane and spin the wind vane a full 360 degrees, deploying his robot mode. Rotating the wind vane clockwise changes him back into a truck. He features articulation at his shoulders.

:Part of the second wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, Galvatron transforms into a 2012 Freightliner Argosy. Given that it would be impossible to emulate his on-screen transformation, he is a ''complete'' [[Shellformer|shell-former]], with his truck mode folding up solely along his back and calves. As with Evasion Optimus Prime, he has a different paint scheme than seen on his packaging, with fewer paint applications on his body and weapon. His cannon can either be held like a gun or fitted on his hand in a way that appears as if it is coming out of his arm.

:Galvatron's package is the only packaging in the Age of Extinction toyline thus far that neglects to mention what his alternate mode is called. The only mention of Freightliner being involved with his alternate mode is in the tiny copyright information section of the box.

:The ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' version adds some additional paint applications for a more screen-accurate look, most notably, a darker face with yellowish-red eyes. This mold was later retooled into JD.com exclusive [[JD Red Knight]].

:Knight Armor Turbo Changer Megatron is a Voyager-sized figure that transforms from a Cybertronian Jet to robot in just a few steps. His only articulation is the elbows, and he features 5mm compatible hands. He also features a "Knight Armor" gimmick, which consists of his mask popping out to his head with the press of the button on his chest. Take note that you need to flip back the mask manually before you turn him back into Cybertronian Jet Mode. On the other note, his arm-mounted Fusion Cannon is very, very small.

:It should be noted that ''every'' photos of the toy featured in the magazine (including the commercial) is slightly mistansformed: his cockpit/cannon is not rotated in robot mode, although the magazine's 115th page shows that his cannon is rotated correctly.

:"Mission to Cybertron" Megatron is a redeco/new head retool of [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Deluxe|''Generations Thrilling 30'' Megatron]] (and also the first Deluxe Class Movie Megatron toy that is not a [[Fast Action Battler]]), featuring a new head based on his appearance in the movie, albeit in a ''Generation 1''-ish style. He transforms from robot into Don Figueroa's stealth bomber design from IDW Publishing's ''[[The Transformers (IDW)|The Transformers]]'' ongoing series (which resembles a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit). In robot mode, his wingtips detach to combine and transform into his fusion cannon. The cannon can peg into 5mm ports on his hands and forearms. Many figures were erroneously released with [[Quality control|two left fists]]. The instructions still depict his original mold's head.

:As with most "Mission to Cybertron" figures, Megatron features Cyberglyphics on both sides of the wings/fusion cannon, which translate to his own name. He also comes with a card, with the glyphs being decoded as "ENERGON", while the back features a piece (which includes Megatron) for the 6-part "Mission to Cybertron" poster.

:The figure also saw release in Japan, also as a Toys"R"Us exclusive, without any changes from the American release. This mold was also used to make ''Generations'' [[Dreadwing (G2)#Generations|Dreadwing]] and ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Krok (G1)#Timelines|Krok]].

:Released in the second wave of ''Premier Edition'' Voyagers, Megatron is a new mold which transforms from robot to Cybertronian jet. It is armed with a weapon resembling the [http://www.higgins-collection.org/artifacts/1605 Ikakalaka] weapon, and it can be stored on the robot's back which also can end up under the cockpit in jet mode if left place, or may be stored on the jet's top. It also features a non-removable fusion cannon on the right forearm. While the figure appears nearly black in promotional images, it's actually a metallic graphite gray with darker gunmetal gray paint applications. As with the other TLK Megatron figure, this one lacks the red facial "scar" from the film, but has red light piping in the eyes, forehead... and neck! The jet mode cockpit is also cast in transparent red. The port on the robot back/jet undercarriage is compatible with most figure flight stands. The jet mode lacks any sort of landing gear. There is a minor variant, in regards to the Decepticon symbol. While the stock photos and vast majority of the release feature the Decepticon symbol as it appears with its movie styling, some copies have been found sporting the traditional Decepticon logo, with the difference being in the eyes.

:Some stock photos depict Megatron's sword handle as being an unpainted red, however the final release and later stock photos have it the same color as the rest of the sword. The stock renders also depict the sword's bladed section and several body details being painted silver.

:The figure saw release in Japan as a Toys"R"Us exclusive. As with most Wave 2 Deluxes and Voyagers, Megatron's release was delayed in some territories, leading to [[scalping]] on the aftermarket.

:Part of the first wave of ''Premier Edition'' Leader Class figures, Megatron changes from Cybertronian jet to robot and back. He includes a large sword-axe which can store on his back in robot mode, and on the top of his jet in his vehicle form. In addition, he also comes with two flame effects which can plug into his turbine exhausts in jet mode or his arm-mounted fusion cannon in robot mode. On the back of his head there is a lever that can be pulled up to rotate a portion of his head, and close in the tusks to form his battle mask. In jet mode, he has an opening cockpit and his nosecone can be opened up to expose the fusion cannon by the push of a button right behind the cockpit. Because this action is spring-loaded and the two halves of the nosecone are made of soft plastic, it does not hold together well.

:Of all the Megatron toys above, this Leader Class figure bears the largest jet mode in the lineup.

:His battle axe was redecoed as a promotional campaign item, which used gold chrome.

**''ID Number:'' '''13'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-11'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[July 28]], 2018'''
**''Accessories:'' "Forest Battle" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Megatron is an all-new Voyager Class mold that transforms into a Cybertronian tank and is generally more accurate to his appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. It features a flip-out sword for his [[death-lock pincer]] with an articulated thumb sticking out of the side to make up for his lack of a right hand, as well as side turrets for his tank mode (which weren't featured in the film itself, but found on many promotional images of his alt mode). As his tank mode is based on early concept art and promotional images, it does not include wings. The figure also includes a cardboard backdrop depicting the forest battle in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:The lower rear leg panels fall off very easily due to pegs being molded too short. Due to transformation, Megatron is left with a glaringly hollow robot mode if viewed from the sides; this problem can be somewhat rectified by gently forcing the turrets downward.

:While some [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]] painted samples show Megatron with a dark, metallic color scheme, the final product features light grey plastic. Likewise, the CG stock render depicts Megatron having brighter & dull gold parts instead of the final product's bronze, and his pair of turrets is depicted as being molded in black paint.

:Unsurprisingly, the [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/1/16/20180531120445%21StudioSeries-13-MV2-Voyager-Megatron.jpg stock photo] featured on many websites isn't fully transformed in the feet (making them look long and flat). As shown in the accurately-transformed figure to the right, his toes have the capability to split in two, the back half of the foot must be folded down for accuracy, and the kibble that forms his face-guard in tank mode helps balance the feet out. Speaking of feet: the small wheel on Megatron's right foot in the CG stock render is molded in the same light gray color, while his left foot's wheel is molded in the same color as the treads.

:In a rather ''bizarre'' case of parts reuse, several of this figure's parts (notably the arm joints and the hip pieces) were also used for ''Studio Series'' Leader Class [[Shockwave (Movie)#Studio Series|Shockwave]], whereas his chest piece was also used for ''Studio Series'' Voyager Class Megatron in his body from the 2007 film (see below).

:This ''Studio Series'' Megatron is an all-new Leader Class mold that transforms into a Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and is accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'' complete with a new cloak accessory and chains. He also comes with a shotgun, a minifigure of [[Igor]], and a cardboard backdrop display depicting the Decepticon camp in [[Namibia]], [[Africa]]. The Igor figure can plug into small pegs behind his head in robot mode or on the Truck mode's trailer.

:Care should be taken when tabbing in his shotgun to his hand as the gunmetal paint on the handle can chip or rub off. The shotgun is actually molded in beige plastic and then completely coated with gunmetal and silver paint for increased screen-accuracy. While only the right hand is molded to be able to hold it via 5 mm post, a small peg above and perpendicular to the handle allows him to wield the shotgun in his left hand, though it takes some fiddling with his fingers (which are molded in soft plastic) to make it look presentable.

:It can be difficult to get enough clearance in truck mode for the cab's rear wheels to roll freely, as the chest pieces hang very low to the ground when in alternate mode. In addition, due to the sheer length of the truck mode and the internal forces from plastic tolerances, it can be difficult to get all ten wheels on the ground at once.

:The rubber chains take a bit of stretching to properly attach. Some orientations are easier to hook on than others, and the order of operations can also make it easier or harder to get all four eyelets hooked in place. As a result of the transformation, the truck cab is noticeably hollow, and cannot pivot at the trailer connection. As the front grills/spikes are molded in soft plastic, the pieces may warp in robot mode, in and out of package.

:Presumably as a result of being accidentally assigned to the wrong toy during the same photo shoot, the Hasbro stock photos of Megatron depict [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire's]] cane as an accessory, rather than Jetfire's own stock photos.

*'''As Seen In Parks Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2019)
**''ID Number:'' '''48'''
**''Accessories:'' Shotgun, chains, backdrop

:Released as a [[Transformers: Universal Studios|Universal Studios]] exclusive, this Megatron is a redeco of the Leader Class figure above, featuring an entirely gray body meant to resemble the Megatron meet and greet in Universal Studios. Unlike the previous ''Studio Series'' Leader Class figure, he does not come with either a cloak accessory or a minifigure of Igor. His backdrop depicts the door and queue area where the Megatron performer exits and greets park guests.

:Though we're not ''entirely'' sure whether "As Seen In Parks Megatron" is indeed supposed to be the toy's official name, the "As Seen In Parks" descriptor ''is'' featured in the same location where other ''Studio Series'' toys have their prefixes, such as "[[Stinger (AOE)#Generations|Decepticon Stinger]]", "[[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#Generations|Autobot Ratchet]]", "[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS26|WWII Bumblebee]]" or "[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS27|Clunker Bumblebee]]", so...

*'''Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2019)
**''ID Number:'' '''54'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-46'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 28]], [[2020]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Flail, backdrop
:This (mostly) brand new Voyager Megatron sculpt is based on his body from the 2007 film, drawing some engineering cues from his ''Masterpiece'' figure. Like his wave-mate [[Soundwave (ROTF)#Studio Series|Soundwave]], he's slathered in metallic silver paint. As such, exercise some caution if you don't want to get them scratched during transformation.

:Confusingly, his chest is redecoed from that of his initial ''Revenge of the Fallen'' release, making it inaccurate to its appearance in the 2007 film. In a bizarre reversal of this, Megatron's CG model render on the front of the packaging depicts his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' head photoshopped onto his 2007 chest and body. As a byproduct of his transformation scheme, his knee joints are placed extremely far back on his legs, resulting in unsightly gaps in some poses. Due to being used with transformation, the rear ankle panels are ''sometimes'' not strong enough to support the weight of the figure.

:This figure's flail, attached using a [[mushroom joint]], differs from those of his previous Leader Class and ''Masterpiece'' toys: it uses a proper spiked head (rather than repurposing one of his hands) and is connected using two separate chains sculpted from a flexible material. Unfortunately, he does not come equipped with his fusion cannon.

:Like the rest of the Voyager figures in the same wave, Megatron first saw release in Hong Kong independent stores.

*'''Megatron''' (Tiny Turbo Changer, 2018)
**''Series'' '''4'''
**''Bag Code'': '''N'''
:Released in Series 4 of [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Megatron is a new mold based off his appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' and as such changes into a (very) rough interpretation of his Cybertronian tank alternate form. He features articulation in his cannon arm, but not his standard arm. His torso features a hinge through the top of his torso that is not used in his transformation and allows his whole upper body to split in half, but otherwise has no purpose.

:Standing at approximately 5-inches, ''Bumblebee'' Power Megatron shares an identical design to his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body, therefore transforming into a Cybertronian tank. As with other Power figures, he can interact with the Cores of larger Energon Igniters toys.

:The stock photography has him mistransformed: His legs are not straightened.

**''Japanese release date'': '''[[August]] [[2019]]'''
**''Accessories'': [[Fusion cannon]], chain whip, [[AllSpark#Masterpiece Movie Series|AllSpark]], chest piece, left and right hand

:The [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|''Masterpiece Movie Series'']] figure of Megatron is a large (12" tall), complex, mostly screen-accurate mold, and for the first time in ''years'' is based on his appearance in the 2007 film rather than the sequels, transforming into a Cybertronian jet mode. Both his weapon gimmicks are based on his removable hands: he includes a rubber "chain" piece which can connect either hand to its wrist to represent the flail he used to wreck Sector Seven's base, and his transforming gun can plug into a single wrist in its smaller "handgun" form, or into both wrists in its extended "fusion cannon" form. Although his hands have nowhere else to store when removed, they do ''not'' need to be removed for transformation, and both weapons have dedicated storage in robot and vehicle modes. He also includes a smallish silver-painted AllSpark cube, which can fit into his red translucent innards to represent his death at the end of the first movie. Like several other movie ''Masterpiece'' figures, he has an articulated jaw.

:Exercise caution while transforming him into both modes: as many of his parts are painted, some of the sections are prone to chipping.

==Merchandise==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Lunchables====
* '''Megatron''' ("Pocket Transformers" toy prize, 2007)

: A sort of "pseudo-figure" of Megatron cast in dark gray plastic, Megatron "transforms" from a flat structure emblazoned with the Decepticon symbol and the word "Transformers" to a robot by folding out. Megatron is represented by stickers decorated with artwork of the character on the top, bottom, and two fold out "arms". Said artwork is based on earlier promotional artwork of Megatron, and thus features a different head than the finalized version. His name is also spelled out across his feet in this mode.

: This mold was also used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Blackout (Movie)#Lunchables|Blackout]] and [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Lunchables|Starscream]]. A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Lunchables|Optimus]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#Lunchables|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/merchandise#Lunchables|Bumblebee]], though with the Autobot symbol sculpted in instead of the Decepticon one. Each iteration of this mold was made with a different color of plastic.

====Robot Fighters Game====
*'''Optimus Prime vs. Megatron''' (2007)

:Megatron comes packaged along with Optimus in a toy set that allows both figures to be strapped to their separate bases, and subsequently be controlled by two players, making them punch and kick one another via knobs that can be twisted and turned to make the characters perform different moves. Megatron's body is slightly simplified and features articulation at the shoulders and hip joints. A sort of update on the classic "Rock'em Sock'em Robots" game. The figures can also be separated from the base for fun on the go!

====3D Battle-Card Game====

: Megatron is a 53-point "Rare" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from plastic cards, he can be assembled into either his robot mode or alien jet mode. His card construction was reused for the enigmatic [[Sky Lynx (Energon Wars)|Sky Lynx]] card in the game's "Energon Wars" expansion.

====Battling Robots Bubble Bath====
*'''Megatron''' (2007)
[[File:Megatron bubblebath.jpg|120px|thumb|"This is why I hate merchandising."]]
:Megatron's torso attaches to the bottle of bubble bath. His elbows bend, and his arms have a punching gimmick, to allow him to battle the forces of good. Pushing a lever on either side makes the respective fist punch forward. He's removable, though not as easily held without the bottle below his waist. Like many pieces of Megatron merchandise, this "figure" uses the older head design with blue eyes. The blue eyes are also the only spot of paint on him, unlike the elaborately decoed Prime.
{{-}}

====Burger King====
*'''Megatron''' Burger King free toy (2007)
:A non-transformable version of Megatron, cast primarily in gray plastic. The toy's entire "gimmick" is that both arms rotate at the shoulder. Due to the strict [[For safety reasons|protocols]] of making a fast food premium, Megatron's sharp and deadly design was forced to be smoothed out. This had the unfortunate effect of making his sculpted details meld together and looking less like a killer robot and more like a melted clay man. The toy ''appears'' to use the earlier head render of Megatron's, but due to the vague detail and paint job, may also not be.

:The toy also comes with a purple plastic Decepticon base and a lenticular motion card with a surprising amount of frames of animation. These two pieces may in fact be the better part of the package.

This little figurine has a little strap on it so that it can be put on cell phones or portable gaming devices.

====Robot Replicas====

*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Fusion Cannon
:As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of Megatron is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, though the elbows only turn from side-to-side, giving him extremely limited arm articulation. His forearms can be replaced with his fusion cannon accessory (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins).

: Rise of Megatron has a pull-back motor and can "transform" between flying tank and robot modes, both of which are quite inaccurate. The tank mode lacks a cannon, while the robot mode lacks legs for purposes of the toy's own gimmick. Megatron's robot mode torso also looks quite deformed and odd compared to the CG model in the movie, with features such as a round mouth, huge arms, and symmetrical (huge) shoulders.

*'''Megatron''' (Power Bot, 2009)

:The [[Power Bots]] version of Megatron is a large, sturdy action figure for younger children. Pressing the various Decepticon symbol buttons activates battle phrases, sound effects and light-up eyes, although for the European release, almost all of the battle phrases were cut in order to avoid language barriers (except for the occasional nonsensical utterance of "Decepticon!" and "Megatron!" among a huge, long string of blasting noises).

*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2009)

:This non-transformable Megatron action figure was ''supposed'' to be very movie-accurate, but is actually a combination of the bulkier, earlier design used for his Leader class toy and the more slender final design used for the Voyager class toy. Although his arms are normal-sized and the right arm has the "lobster claw" seen in the final design, Megatron appears hunchbacked due to the fact that he has no neck (though not to the same extent as the Leader class toy).

:Strangley, the head sculpt of this figure is reused on the Stealth Force version of the character.

:Part of the third wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen''-themed ''Robot Heroes'', this figurine of Megatron depicts him in mid-transformation between robot and tank modes, which is based on an unused concept art. He has articulation at the neck, shoulders, and waist. "[[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]" comes packaged with him. Humorously, his Leader Class figure can achieve this "mode".

: Part of the "Stealth Force" subline, this Megatron also has no robot mode, but makes up for it with a number of hidden weapons that flip out of his tank mode at the press of a button. His tank turret can fire a missile, while all the hidden weapons are non-firing.

:While not having a robot mode, this is the only toy in the Stealth Force line to have a robot head. Strangely, the head sculpt used on the front of his tank mode is the same sculpt used for the [[Robot Replicas]] release of Megatron.

Megatron (Movie)/toys

2020-06-17T06:19:02Z

LV: /* Masterpiece Movie Series */ That "extra plastic" is so his head is the right shape in vehicle mode - I've seen it claimed that it's because the vehicle mode uses his original head design, but I don't know whether that part is true or not.

'''[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]''' got the Hollywood bad-guy treatment, and therefore got truckloads of toys too!
He also ''became'' a truck later on. Funny, that is.

====Legends Class toys====
[[File:Movie Legends Megatron toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Just what the hell do I turn into?]]
*'''Megatron''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Megatron'''
:[[Legends Class]] Megatron is the smallest mainline ''Movie'' Megatron toy. The sheer simplicity of the Legends class toy means that his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] is basically his [[robot mode]] splayed out. His robot mode is passably accurate, but has the Alien Queen-esque head design that was replaced with the finalized design after this figure's production (though due to the lack of detail, it can also be interpreted as his current head design). Due to his transformation scheme, he has swiveling waist. Despite it's simplicity, the Legends class figure is far closer to Megatron's actual design in the movie than most of his larger figures.

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

:The figure is misassembled in package with the arms being swapped putting paint applications and more sculpted detail on the wrong sides of his arms; it is a simple matter to rectify this though as they are on rather loose ball joints at the shoulder and are easily popped off and swapped round. It should be noted that the arms & head is molded in softer, rubbery plastic, and it was unknown if they would harden and break just like [[Scorponok (Movie)#Legends_Class_toys|Scorponok]].

====Voyager Class toys====
[[File:Movie Voyager Megatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey, I think I'm as weird as the ''[[Transformers: The War Within|War Within]]'' figures! ...nah, not there yet.]]
*'''Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-14'''
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:Voyager Class Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his Cybertronic jet, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them. With a significantly different (and simple compared to other figures of the same pricepoint) transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm. His wings feature flip-out "ice blades", and pulling on a piece in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like pincer claws.

:Something interesting to note is that his feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two "rear toes" on each feet automatically close up when he's not standing up. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing, as the feet parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.

:The stock photo on the toy's packaging depicts Megatron with the unused head that appeared in some concept art. However, the rest of the figure's body is still modeled after the final character model.

*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:One of the first figures available in the ''[[Premium Series]]'' (although not explicitly identified on the packaging as such), Voyager Class Megatron was released exclusively at Best Buy on October 16th, 2007 alongside the North American launch of the ''Transformers'' movie DVD. Megatron has been completely redecoed, covering most of his previously grey parts with metallic silver paint and a black paint wash over the top of that. Black and gold highlights are used to offset all of the silver, while the transparent 'ice' parts are clear. These changes essentially make Megatron far more accurate to his movie appearance.

:Megatron is presented in robot mode inside a special display box similar in shape to the packaging for the Hasbro release of ''Generation 1'' ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]].

*'''Battle Over Mission City''' ("Screen Battles" two-pack, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:A Target exclusive redeco of Voyager Class Megatron in primarily beige and chocolate brown colors with brown paintwashes, this version replaces the ice colored translucent plastic with two shades of translucent orange to replicate a look that resembles Megatron's fiery demise (or atmospheric re-entry). Unlike the previous releases, this version's wings are painted to match the body color, so they give the appearance of molten slag. This version was only available in a two-pack with a mostly unchanged Deluxe Class [[Jazz (Movie)#TargetvsMegatron|Final Battle Jazz]] in reference to their fight on the skyscraper featured in the film.

:As the colors on this Megatron are very similar to the colors on the Screen Battles version of Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]], it can be assumed that those two sets are meant to also represent the climactic final battle at the end of the film.

====Leader Class toys====
[[File:Movie Leader Megatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Ohhhh! I turn into a big-boned guy!"]]
*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-07'''
:Leader Class ''Movie'' Megatron transforms into a silver Cybertronic assault jet. In robot mode, Megatron's right "[[Rocket Claw]]" disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable "[[mace|chain]] [[whip]]" weapon concealed within his forearm; pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a "[[fusion cannon]]," with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.

:Megatron's instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be center-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.

:There is an error in Megatron's legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation. In addition to ''that'', both of Megatron's hands have a finger misassembly. Two pieces are molded to have two fingers, while one is obviously supposed to be a thumb–however, this thumb is on the 'outside' of his hands instead of the inside. The prototype on the packaging's stock photos show the correct assembly.

:Possibly a dropped feature [[for safety reasons]], the right hand (partly a projectile tethered to the arm) is designed to launch out of his wrist via a spring-loaded firing mechanism. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was removed, though the firing trigger remains. One can either find a compatible spring or steal the spring in his left arm fusion cannon, then place it in his right forearm, though stealing the spring from his left arm would disable his fusion cannon-retracting Automorph.

*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
:Premium Megatron is a redeco of the previously released Leader Class Megatron. The figure is now given far more movie-accurate paint applications of black, gold, & silver. Premium Megatron also features the classic transformation sound when the chest Automorph function is activated. The original "metal shriek" sound is retained when the sound button is pressed in vehicle mode.

:In the promotional photos of the toy, this version was pictured with a new vehicle mode face cover that fit the new head better. However, this retool was apparently dropped before actual production but can still be seen on the box back photography. All manufacturing errors from the first release are still present.

:Unlike some of the early "Premium Series" toys, Premium Leader Megatron was mass-released at a variety of retailers, instead of being an exclusive to any particular store.

*'''Fusion Blast Megatron''' ([[Fast Action Battlers|Fast Action Battler]], 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

:Fusion Blast Megatron is a simple version of Megatron with dorky-looking proportions in robot mode, and it turns into an even dorkier-looking vehicle mode. The transformation sequence manages to be even more simple and non-involved than the other ''Movie'' Megatron toys by means of an Automorph feature very similar to the early Beast Wars flipchangers. Moving his back section down causes the torso to flip up, hiding the head and positioning the arms skywards. Though the figure requires a little more repositioning and folding, most of the transformation is done with a single step.

:The figure's packaging depicts Megatron with a different head sculpt and silver paint instead of unpainted gray plastic.

*'''Megatron''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-02'''

:Megatron transforms from a reasonably accurate version of his movie robot mode to a reasonably accurate version of his tank mode (with a teeny extra Megatron face in his groin, without paint details probably to avoid creepiness). He has ball-jointed shoulders and hips in robot mode, plus elbow and knee joints. His alt mode turret is formed by merging his left and right arms, which is a neat callback to the first movie's fusion cannon, but means the turret can't rotate side to side, only pivot at the barrel.

:Several samples suffer from a disconnected lower left leg, which should be connected to the metal rod inside the upper leg. While the loose appendage cannot be repaired without extensive tooling, the upper leg is tight enough to prevent the leg from falling out during display or careful play. Speaking of legs, this Legends Class Megatron is somewhat prone to falling down with a light breeze of wind. The kibble on his robot mode back doesn't help the balancing at all.

:Megatron also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' EZ Collection sets. And like all first waves, He comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline. In Malaysia, this toy is also one of the four Legends Class figures to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He can be obtained starting from the 12th of July along with Optimus Prime, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.

**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The second mainline ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Megatron toy is more slender than the larger Leader-Class Megatron, as it was based (more or less) on the finalized Megatron design, and as such, features a sleeker tank mode, a large lobster-claw like right arm and a normal-sized left arm. Unlike the larger toy, the Voyager's firing missile is located on the left arm, though the end is still sculpted to look like a set of fingers, and he also wears the entire top of the tank as a [[kibble]] backpack instead of having jet turbines like the Leader class toy. For some reason, he's also green (thankfully, less so than the stock image pictured here).

:He features two [[Mech Alive]] gimmicks. Turning his waist turns internal gears in his chest, while bending his right elbow makes a blade extend in and out of his claw.

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

:The first and largest ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Megatron toy is based on an earlier design for Megatron that differs slightly from the final CG model. This design is more bulky and hunchbacked than the final design, has a right arm with a shoulder pad that doubles as a bladed shield, and also has a very short and gimpy left arm. Like the Voyager Class toy, he also features feet that do not look like the CGI model, which has large two-toed feet formed by the tank treads rather than flat, clawed feet that resemble those of the first movie's design. Leaving the feet retracted creates a more movie-accurate appearance when the legs are viewed from the front (when viewed from the side, Megatron's legs look like stubs).

:The figure transforms into a Cybertronian tank, though it lacks the wings seen in the film and is also less streamlined. In robot mode, Megatron's entire lower right arm is a spring-loaded missile launcher and the tank turret's armour/shroud can be mechanically repositioned to partially cover the cannon, with flip-out sword blade, as seen in the early concept design. Due to the amount of [[gimmick]]ry involved, the right arm has no elbow.

:Pressing the Decepticon symbol-emblazoned button on his chest activates his light, [[Mech Alive]], and voice sound effects ("I am Megatron!"). The Mech Alive mechanics involve shaking his head to and fro while panels in his chest shudder. The European release (sold in the UK and non-English speaking countries) proclaims just simply "Megatron!" with laughter. After a month or two, the American release became available in the UK as well as the Canadian province of Quebec, while English Canada (which usually stocks the American release) somehow got the European version in some areas.

:Interestingly, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|while]] [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|other]] [[Demolishor (ROTF)|figures]] in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' line suffered mold simplifications from budget cuts, Megatron got mold ''additions''. Hasbro's stock pictures depict a vastly different and much smaller shield which lacks the outer claw prongs and has different detailing, and there is no evidence that the flip-down feet had been implemented at all. These late mold changes may have been done to slightly increase the toy's accuracy to his movie depiction and, in the case of the flip-down feet, to make Megatron look like he actually has ''feet'' rather than stubs to walk on.

*'''Shadow Command Megatron''' (Leader, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Shadow Command Megatron, as the name suggests, is a mostly black redeco of Leader class Megatron, which much resembles the previous Fast Action Battlers ''Night Attack Megatron'' redeco. The figure sports more paint applications than the first release. The voice chip has been changed, instead of saying "I am Megatron!" like the initial release, it says "There is no command but mine!". The blast sound effect has also been changed to a laser sound, and a G1-esque sound effect plays when rotating Megatron's legs during transformation.

:Initial shipments of Shadow Command Megatron have a minor misassembly in his right shoulder that causes the laser sound effect to go off only when his arm is pointing backwards, as opposed to forward. It is fixable, but only after knocking out a pin.

*'''Cannon Blast Megatron''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)
**''Accessories'': Projectile

:A much simpler version of Megatron, this figure transforms by putting his arms behind his back and folding in half at the waist, more or less. His right arm has a spring-launched missile fired via a switch on the side, as well a soft plastic blade that can be folded out. Twisting the figure's right arm produces a chopping action. Due to the weird design of the feet and weight distribution, Megatron is difficult to stand up unless he is hunched forward.

**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''003'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV07'''
**''Accessories:'' Fuel tank halves/Double Cannons

:[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander Class Megatron is an abbreviated version of his Voyager counterpart, transforming into a single piece fuel tanker. The fuel tank splits in half, forming hand-held double cannons which then can be combined into a large cannon. The [[C joint]] mounting clip of the fuel tank is on a swivel, allowing the large cannon to be mounted onto the smokestacks and used in vehicle mode. His head is also on a pivot joint, allowing him to look up and down.

:Care must be taken while forming the rear cabin: The instructions tell you to fold the feet panels up after transforming the legs first, but it will cause some slight stress marks on the feet panels/smokestacks' joints. We recommend folding the panels up first while the legs are still separated.

*'''Megatron''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Fusion Cannon]], tarp/cape

:''MechTech'' Megatron now transforms into a <s>disfigured Mad Max truck</s> officially licensed Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and trailer, although it lacks many of the features in the movie, such as the spikes on the roof and the rope mesh on the hood. The forward half of the trailer-mounted oil tank converts into Megatron's [[MechTech]] Blaster, which in turn converts into a Fusion Cannon when the ladder is pushed in. Like all MechTech Voyager toys, his weapon can lock into this mode by pushing the ladder all the way in and rotating it to the right. Megatron has six MechTech [[5mm post]]/MechTech ports in vehicle mode, including three on his MechTech weapon, two on the steps below the truck cab doors, and a self-covering port (which automatically fills in the hole when a weapon is not inserted) on the roof. Though the truck cab and its "trailer" are a single entity that cannot be separated, Megatron does have an articulation joint between where the trailer and cab connect where the fifth wheel hitch would be, despite being formed from his independently-jointed legs.

:The rubbery tarp over the tanker is a two piece affair, with a detachable 'hood' accessory that slots into a port beside Megatron's neck. This deliberately obscures Megatron's badly mutilated face, a callback to the injuries he received at the climax of ''Revenge of the Fallen''. In [[robot mode]], two more MechTech ports become available on his legs, and two on the truck steps end up on his arms; all other MechTech ports from vehicle mode are still usable. Megatron's fusion cannon can even be mounted on his back, like in the movie, thanks to the truck's cab (and associated MechTech port) winding up on his back. Care should be taken when transforming the shoulders, as the tiny Mack dog hood ornament is prone to being snapped off by the shifting black bumper section. It is also quite difficult to get his chest to tab into his shoulder panels due to his arms getting in the way, and his already short pegs having to tab into very shallow holes.

:Megatron is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:The gun from the Evasion Mode Optimus Prime toy, released several years after, is intended to be compatible with this figure-not only is it sculpted to resemble the shotgun Megs used (twice) in the movie, a tab on the handle (not the post that was supposed to be the handle for ''Age of Extinction'' Optimus) allows him to wield it properly by slotting onto a slot on his hand. It even has 5mm posts on its side so that it can mount in movie-accurate fashion on his back!

: The movie Megatron [[Kreon]] is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' body, which is odd since it's his [[Dark of the Moon]] body that shows up in the Ride (and as a photo-opportunity "mascot" character on the park grounds). He was available exclusively in a box set sold at the ''[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]'' gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies (and a logo-plate rather than the older 2x4 logo-brick). Megatron's [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged.

: Where the other park-exclusive toys can be purchased through Universal's online store, the ''[[Kre-O]]'' pack is ''only'' available at the park proper at the time of this writing.

:Part of the second wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, Galvatron transforms into a 2012 Freightliner Argosy. Given that it would be impossible to emulate his on-screen transformation, he is a ''complete'' [[Shellformer|shell-former]], with his truck mode folding up solely along his back and calves. As with Evasion Optimus Prime, he has a different paint scheme than seen on his packaging, with fewer paint applications on his body and weapon. His cannon can either be held like a gun or fitted on his hand in a way that appears as if it is coming out of his arm.

:Galvatron's package is the only packaging in the Age of Extinction toyline thus far that neglects to mention what his alternate mode is called. The only mention of Freightliner being involved with his alternate mode is in the tiny copyright information section of the box.

:The ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' version adds some additional paint applications for a more screen-accurate look, most notably, a darker face with yellowish-red eyes. This mold was later retooled into JD.com exclusive [[JD Red Knight]].

:Knight Armor Turbo Changer Megatron is a Voyager-sized figure that transforms from a Cybertronian Jet to robot in just a few steps. His only articulation is the elbows, and he features 5mm compatible hands. He also features a "Knight Armor" gimmick, which consists of his mask popping out to his head with the press of the button on his chest. Take note that you need to flip back the mask manually before you turn him back into Cybertronian Jet Mode. On the other note, his arm-mounted Fusion Cannon is very, very small.

:"Mission to Cybertron" Megatron is a redeco/new head retool of [[Megatron_(G1)/toys#Deluxe|''Generations Thrilling 30'' Megatron]] (and also the first Deluxe Class Movie Megatron toy that is not a [[Fast Action Battler]]), featuring a new head based on his appearance in the movie, albeit in a ''Generation 1''-ish style. He transforms from robot into Don Figueroa's stealth bomber design from IDW Publishing's ''[[The Transformers (IDW)|The Transformers]]'' ongoing series (which resembles a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit). In robot mode, his wingtips detach to combine and transform into his fusion cannon. The cannon can peg into 5mm ports on his hands and forearms. Many figures were erroneously released with [[Quality control|two left fists]]. The instructions still depict his original mold's head.

:As with most "Mission to Cybertron" figures, Megatron features Cyberglyphics on both sides of the wings/fusion cannon, which translate to his own name. He also comes with a card, with the glyphs being decoded as "ENERGON", while the back features a piece (which includes Megatron) for the 6-part "Mission to Cybertron" poster.

:Released in the second wave of ''Premier Edition'' Voyagers, Megatron is a new mold which transforms from robot to Cybertronian jet. It is armed with a weapon resembling the [http://www.higgins-collection.org/artifacts/1605 Ikakalaka] weapon, and it can be stored on the robot's back which also can end up under the cockpit in jet mode if left place, or may be stored on the jet's top. It also features a non-removable fusion cannon on the right forearm. While the figure appears nearly black in promotional images, it's actually a metallic graphite gray with darker gunmetal gray paint applications. As with the other TLK Megatron figure, this one lacks the red facial "scar" from the film, but has red light piping in the eyes, forehead... and neck! The jet mode cockpit is also cast in transparent red. The port on the robot back/jet undercarriage is compatible with most figure flight stands. The jet mode lacks any sort of landing gear. There is a minor variant, in regards to the Decepticon symbol. While the stock photos and vast majority of the release feature the Decepticon symbol as it appears with its movie styling, some copies have been found sporting the traditional Decepticon logo, with the difference being in the eyes.

:Some stock photos depict Megatron's sword handle as being an unpainted red, however the final release and later stock photos have it the same color as the rest of the sword. The stock renders also depict the sword's bladed section and several body details being painted silver.

:The figure saw release in Japan as a Toys"R"Us exclusive. As with most Wave 2 Deluxes and Voyagers, Megatron's release was delayed in some territories, leading to [[scalping]] on the aftermarket.

He includes a large sword-axe which can store on his back in robot mode, and on the top of his jet in his vehicle form. In addition, he also comes with two flame effects which can plug into his turbine exhausts in jet mode or his arm-mounted fusion cannon in robot mode. On the back of his head there is a lever that can be pulled up to rotate a portion of his head, and close in the tusks to form his battle mask. In jet mode, he has an opening cockpit and his nosecone can be opened up to expose the fusion cannon by the push of a button right behind the cockpit. Because this action is spring-loaded and the two halves of the nosecone are made of soft plastic, it does not hold together well.

:Of all the Megatron toys above, this Leader Class figure bears the largest jet mode in the lineup.

**''ID Number:'' '''13'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-11'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[July 28]], 2018'''
**''Accessories:'' "Forest Battle" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Megatron is an all-new Voyager Class mold that transforms into a Cybertronian tank and is generally more accurate to his appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. It features a flip-out sword for his [[death-lock pincer]] with an articulated thumb sticking out of the side to make up for his lack of a right hand, as well as side turrets for his tank mode (which weren't featured in the film itself, but found on many promotional images of his alt mode). As his tank mode is based on early concept art and promotional images, it does not include wings. The figure also includes a cardboard backdrop depicting the forest battle in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:The lower rear leg panels fall off very easily due to pegs being molded too short. Due to transformation, Megatron is left with a glaringly hollow robot mode if viewed from the sides; this problem can be somewhat rectified by gently forcing the turrets downward.

:While some [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]] painted samples show Megatron with a dark, metallic color scheme, the final product features light grey plastic. Likewise, the CG stock render depicts Megatron having brighter & dull gold parts instead of the final product's bronze, and his pair of turrets is depicted as being molded in black paint.

:Unsurprisingly, the [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/1/16/20180531120445%21StudioSeries-13-MV2-Voyager-Megatron.jpg stock photo] featured on many websites isn't fully transformed in the feet (making them look long and flat). As shown in the accurately-transformed figure to the right, his toes have the capability to split in two, the back half of the foot must be folded down for accuracy, and the kibble that forms his face-guard in tank mode helps balance the feet out. Speaking of feet: the small wheel on Megatron's right foot in the CG stock render is molded in the same light gray color, while his left foot's wheel is molded in the same color as the treads.

:In a rather ''bizarre'' case of parts reuse, several of this figure's parts (notably the arm joints and the hip pieces) were also used for ''Studio Series'' Leader Class [[Shockwave_(Movie)#Studio_Series| Shockwave]], whereas his chest piece was also used for ''Studio Series'' Voyager Class Megatron in his body from the 2007 film (see below).

Around the same time, the figure was released as a Target exclusive in the US.

*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2019)
**''ID Number:'' '''34'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-27'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 23]], 2019'''
**''Accessories:'' Cloak, chains, shotgun, [[Igor#Studio Series|Igor]] minifigure, "[[Namibia|Serengeti Hideout]]" backdrop
:This ''Studio Series'' Megatron is an all-new Leader Class mold that transforms into a Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and is accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'' complete with a new cloak accessory and chains. He also comes with a shotgun, a minifigure of [[Igor]], and a cardboard backdrop display depicting the Decepticon camp in [[Namibia]], [[Africa]]. The Igor figure can plug into small pegs behind his head in robot mode or on the Truck mode's trailer.

:Care should be taken when tabbing in his shotgun to his hand as the gunmetal paint on the handle can chip or rub off. The shotgun is actually molded in beige plastic and then completely coated with gunmetal and silver paint for increased screen-accuracy. While only the right hand is molded to be able to hold it via 5 mm post, a small peg above and perpendicular to the handle allows him to wield the shotgun in his left hand, though it takes some fiddling with his fingers (which are molded in soft plastic) to make it look presentable.

:It can be difficult to get enough clearance in truck mode for the cab's rear wheels to roll freely, as the chest pieces hang very low to the ground when in alternate mode. In addition, due to the sheer length of the truck mode and the internal forces from plastic tolerances, it can be difficult to get all ten wheels on the ground at once.

:The rubber chains take a bit of stretching to properly attach. Some orientations are easier to hook on than others, and the order of operations can also make it easier or harder to get all four eyelets hooked in place. As a result of the transformation, the truck cab is noticeably hollow, and cannot pivot at the trailer connection. As the front grills/spikes are molded in soft plastic, the pieces may warp in robot mode, in and out of package.

:Presumably as a result of being accidentally assigned to the wrong toy during the same photo shoot, the Hasbro stock photos of Megatron depict [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire's]] cane as an accessory, rather than Jetfire's own stock photos.

*'''As Seen In Parks Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2019)
**''ID Number:'' '''48'''
**''Accessories:'' Shotgun, chains, backdrop

:Released as a [[Transformers: Universal Studios|Universal Studios]] exclusive, this Megatron is a redeco of the Leader Class figure above, featuring an entirely gray body meant to resemble the Megatron meet and greet in Universal Studios. Unlike the previous ''Studio Series'' Leader Class figure, he does not come with either a cloak accessory or a minifigure of Igor.

:Though we're not ''entirely'' sure whether "As Seen In Parks Megatron" is indeed supposed to be the toy's official name, the "As Seen In Parks" descriptor ''is'' featured in the same location where other ''Studio Series'' toys have their prefixes, such as "[[Stinger (AOE)#Generations|Decepticon Stinger]]", "[[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#Generations|Autobot Ratchet]]", "[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS26|WWII Bumblebee]]" or "[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS27|Clunker Bumblebee]]", so...

*'''Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2019)
**''ID Number:'' '''54'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-46'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 28]], [[2020]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Flail, backdrop
:This (mostly) brand new Voyager Megatron sculpt is based on his body from the 2007 film, drawing some engineering cues from his ''Masterpiece'' figure. Like his wave-mate [[Soundwave (ROTF)#Studio Series|Soundwave]], he's slathered in metallic silver paint. As such, exercise some caution if you don't want to get them scratched during transformation.

:Confusingly, his chest is redecoed from that of his initial ''Revenge of the Fallen'' release, making it inaccurate to its appearance in the 2007 film. In a bizarre reversal of this, Megatron's CG model render on the front of the packaging depicts his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' head photoshopped onto his 2007 chest and body. As a byproduct of his transformation scheme, his knee joints are placed extremely far back on his legs, resulting in unsightly gaps in some poses. Due to being used with transformation, the rear ankle panels are ''sometimes'' not strong enough to support the weight of the figure.

:This figure's flail, attached using a [[mushroom joint]], differs from those of his previous Leader Class and ''Masterpiece'' toys: it uses a proper spiked head (rather than repurposing one of his hands) and is connected using two separate chains sculpted from a flexible material. Unfortunately, he does not come equipped with his fusion cannon.

:Like the rest of the Voyager figures in the same wave, Megatron first saw release in Hong Kong independent stores.

*'''Megatron''' (Tiny Turbo Changer, 2018)
**''Series'' '''4'''
**''Bag Code'': '''N'''
:Released in Series 4 of [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Megatron is a new mold based off his appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' and as such changes into a (very) rough interpretation of his Cybertronian tank alternate form. He features articulation in his cannon arm, but not his standard arm. His torso features a hinge through the top of his torso that is not used in his transformation and allows his whole upper body to split in half, but otherwise has no purpose.

*'''Megatron''' (Power Series, 2018)
:Standing at approximately 5-inches, ''Bumblebee'' Power Megatron shares an identical design to his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body, therefore transforming into a Cybertronian tank. As with other Power figures, he can interact with the Cores of larger Energon Igniters toys.

:The stock photography has him mistransformed: His legs are not straightened.

**''ID number'': '''MPM-8'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MPM-8'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[August]] [[2019]]'''
**''Accessories'': [[Fusion cannon]], chain whip, [[AllSpark#Masterpiece Movie Series|AllSpark]], chest piece, left and right hand

:The [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|''Masterpiece Movie Series'']] figure of Megatron is a large (12" tall), complex, mostly screen-accurate mold, and for the first time in ''years'' is based on his appearance in the 2007 film rather than the sequels, transforming into a Cybertronian jet mode. Both his weapon gimmicks are based on his removable hands: he includes a rubber "chain" piece which can connect either hand to its wrist to represent the flail he used to wreck Sector Seven's base, and his transforming gun can plug into a single wrist in its smaller "handgun" form, or into both wrists in its extended "fusion cannon" form. Although his hands have nowhere else to store when removed, they do ''not'' need to be removed for transformation, and both weapons have dedicated storage in robot and vehicle modes. He also includes a smallish silver-painted AllSpark cube, which can fit into his red translucent innards to represent his death at the end of the first movie. Like several other movie ''Masterpiece'' figures, he has an articulated jaw.

:Exercise caution while transforming him into both modes: as many of his parts are painted, some of the sections are prone to chipping.

==Merchandise==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Lunchables====
* '''Megatron''' ("Pocket Transformers" toy prize, 2007)

: A sort of "pseudo-figure" of Megatron cast in dark gray plastic, Megatron "transforms" from a flat structure emblazoned with the Decepticon symbol and the word "Transformers" to a robot by folding out. Megatron is represented by stickers decorated with artwork of the character on the top, bottom, and two fold out "arms". Said artwork is based on earlier promotional artwork of Megatron, and thus features a different head than the finalized version. His name is also spelled out across his feet in this mode.

: This mold was also used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Blackout (Movie)#Lunchables|Blackout]] and [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Lunchables|Starscream]]. A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Lunchables|Optimus]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#Lunchables|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/merchandise#Lunchables|Bumblebee]], though with the Autobot symbol sculpted in instead of the Decepticon one. Each iteration of this mold was made with a different color of plastic.

====Robot Fighters Game====
*'''Optimus Prime vs. Megatron''' (2007)

:Megatron comes packaged along with Optimus in a toy set that allows both figures to be strapped to their separate bases, and subsequently be controlled by two players, making them punch and kick one another via knobs that can be twisted and turned to make the characters perform different moves. Megatron's body is slightly simplified and features articulation at the shoulders and hip joints. A sort of update on the classic "Rock'em Sock'em Robots" game. The figures can also be separated from the base for fun on the go!

====3D Battle-Card Game====

**''Card number'': '''20'''

: Megatron is a 53-point "Rare" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from plastic cards, he can be assembled into either his robot mode or alien jet mode. His card construction was reused for the enigmatic [[Sky Lynx (Energon Wars)|Sky Lynx]] card in the game's "Energon Wars" expansion.

====Battling Robots Bubble Bath====
*'''Megatron''' (2007)
[[File:Megatron bubblebath.jpg|120px|thumb|"This is why I hate merchandising."]]
:Megatron's torso attaches to the bottle of bubble bath. His elbows bend, and his arms have a punching gimmick, to allow him to battle the forces of good. Pushing a lever on either side makes the respective fist punch forward. He's removable, though not as easily held without the bottle below his waist. Like many pieces of Megatron merchandise, this "figure" uses the older head design with blue eyes. The blue eyes are also the only spot of paint on him, unlike the elaborately decoed Prime.
{{-}}

====Burger King====
*'''Megatron''' Burger King free toy (2007)
:A non-transformable version of Megatron, cast primarily in gray plastic. The toy's entire "gimmick" is that both arms rotate at the shoulder. Due to the strict [[For safety reasons|protocols]] of making a fast food premium, Megatron's sharp and deadly design was forced to be smoothed out. This had the unfortunate effect of making his sculpted details meld together and looking less like a killer robot and more like a melted clay man. The toy ''appears'' to use the earlier head render of Megatron's, but due to the vague detail and paint job, may also not be.

:The toy also comes with a purple plastic Decepticon base and a lenticular motion card with a surprising amount of frames of animation. These two pieces may in fact be the better part of the package.

This little figurine has a little strap on it so that it can be put on cell phones or portable gaming devices.

====Robot Replicas====

*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Fusion Cannon
:As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of Megatron is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, though the elbows only turn from side-to-side, giving him extremely limited arm articulation. His forearms can be replaced with his fusion cannon accessory (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins).

: Rise of Megatron has a pull-back motor and can "transform" between flying tank and robot modes, both of which are quite inaccurate. The tank mode lacks a cannon, while the robot mode lacks legs for purposes of the toy's own gimmick. Megatron's robot mode torso also looks quite deformed and odd compared to the CG model in the movie, with features such as a round mouth, huge arms, and symmetrical (huge) shoulders.

*'''Megatron''' (Power Bot, 2009)

:The [[Power Bots]] version of Megatron is a large, sturdy action figure for younger children. Pressing the various Decepticon symbol buttons activates battle phrases, sound effects and light-up eyes, although for the European release, almost all of the battle phrases were cut in order to avoid language barriers (except for the occasional nonsensical utterance of "Decepticon!" and "Megatron!" among a huge, long string of blasting noises).

*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2009)

:This non-transformable Megatron action figure was ''supposed'' to be very movie-accurate, but is actually a combination of the bulkier, earlier design used for his Leader class toy and the more slender final design used for the Voyager class toy. Although his arms are normal-sized and the right arm has the "lobster claw" seen in the final design, Megatron appears hunchbacked due to the fact that he has no neck (though not to the same extent as the Leader class toy).

:Strangley, the head sculpt of this figure is reused on the Stealth Force version of the character.

Amusingly, because of the tank mode featuring Megatron's face, he ends up with two faces in "robot mode".

:While not having a robot mode, this is the only toy in the Stealth Force line to have a robot head. Strangely, the head sculpt used on the front of his tank mode is the same sculpt used for the [[Robot Replicas]] release of Megatron.

'''When Hoist goes prospecting in the hope of striking energon, he finds that rickety old mines are not built for Bots, especially big scary Dinobots.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] shows off his cowboy impression to [[Medix (RB)|Medix]], who is confused at his mention of a "Big Tom". Hoist clarifies that Big Tom doesn't exist and he was just demonstrating cowboy mannerisms, but some stomping puts that fact in doubt. It turns out to just be [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]], who is trying to figure out a learning activity for today. Medix leaves them to it, and an old newspaper gives Grimlock and Hoist a clue—miners once found [[energon]] in a mine. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] okays the mission so long as they pay attention to safety and have backup.

Grimlock and Hoist head for the mine, and Hoist is startled when they're joined by Grimlock's friends [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] and [[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]]. Hoist cautions everyone to be extremely careful as the mine will be unstable. They reach the mine, and Hoist supplies the three Dinobots with nose-flashlights. They charge into the mine, and Hoist suggest they split into teams to search, however Sludge immediately steps in some mine carts and ends up carried off. Snarl, not wanting to be left behind, does the same. Grimlock observes the increasing amount of falling debris as the mine becomes more unstable, shortly before the other two Dinobots crash into him. Hoist catches up with them, and he and Grimlock decide they should evacuate from the mine before there's any more damage. The other two Dinobots are determined to go on and start trying to break their way through the blocked tunnel ahead. Grimlock orders them to stop, just as they strike energon. Unfortunately it's at this point that the mine collapses.

Everyone is all right, but now they're trapped in the mine. Grimlock attempts to contact the Academy for a [[GroundBridge]], but can't get a signal out. He admits he didn't want to look weak to his Dinobot comrades, who in turn admit they were trying to impress Hoist. Luckily Hoist has a plan to carefully dig themselves out by having the Dinobots support the tunnel as he digs. They eventually get free, with Hoist using his winch to pull them the rest of the way. Grimlock reveals he managed to bring a single energon nugget out of the mine so they didn't end up completely empty-handed.

*Unlike other appearances in the [[Aligned continuity family | Aligned Continuity]] thus far, the [[Energon]] in the mine is pink, akin to its appearance in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|G1 cartoon.]] Maybe it just comes in more colors than blue.

*Hoist uses a torch-claw-contraption that requires the activation code "Power up and Energize", a type of tool that was first seen in the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)| Rescue Bots cartoon]]. The tool itself is based on the light-up armature that comes with his "Command Center" toy.

Decepticon master strategist '''Hatchet''' is most famous for formulating devastating counter-attacks against [[Autobot]] defenses. Yet as a member of the Dreads infiltration and assassination team, he also plays another role, taking on the dirtiest jobs available personally and exterminating his targets with a brutal and efficient finality.

When [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] was being retrieved from [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Hatchet, [[Crowbar]], and [[Crankcase (DOTM)|Crankcase]] surfaced quietly and secretly hitched a ride on the Autobots' shuttle back to Earth. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon}}

With the [[human]] [[Sam Witwicky]] believing that the Decepticons wished to capture Sentinel and force him to use the control pillar to activate his space bridge, Hatchet, [[Crankcase (DOTM)|Crankcase]] and [[Crowbar]] were sent to pursue the Autobots. After Crowbar disposed of [[Seymour Simmons]], Hatchet and Crankcase leaped to attack, only for the Autobots to break suddenly and deploy their [[Stealth Force]] mode. Hatchet was targeted by the Autobot [[Mirage (Movie)|Dino]], who embedded his anchored blades into the Decepticon's back, and corralled Hatchet into the firing line of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. After Hatchet was pounded with Autobot ordnance, Dino tossed the Decepticon into the oncoming side of the highway, where he slammed into a passing car and was destroyed. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

**''ID number'': '''Series 1, 007'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''CV21'''
**''Accessories'': 2 attack drones/alpha-rez cannons

:Unlike his onscreen appearance, ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Hatchet transforms into a modified Eurofighter Typhoon jet. He includes two attack drones that can be carried under his wings in vehicle mode or transformed into two cannons, one single- and one multi-barreled. These cannons can then be combined end-to-end to form a larger two-handled rifle. Despite being a quadruped, his claws are still designed to be able to hold Cyberverse-scale weapons. He has sculpted "muscle" detailing on his torso, sculpted spine detailing on his back, and the jet exhaust around his neck resembles a collar. His jet mode has flip-out landing gear in the nose.

:Most likely to save space, his lower legs are not fully transformed in-package (the official photos also depict him mistransformed this way.). The instructions also don't mention it, but Hatchet can stand very well on two legs, being able to hold his weapons in his hands without balance issues.

:In an undocumented step of his transformation, the flap behind his cockpit (at the base of his robot mode tail) flips back to cover much of the open space in his torso. In a total design fluke, this cavity is large enough for a Human Alliance human figure, making Hatchet function like a Human Alliance toy.

''"C'mon guys, wait up..."'' You can't help but feel sorry for '''Scavenger'''. He wants so badly to be liked and needed, to feel like a useful and valuable member of his team. His self-esteem is so low he'd do just about anything to get the approval of the others, but his simpering, doting eagerness to please just reinforces the other Decepticons' opinion of him as a worthless loser. He's constantly excavating everywhere he goes in the attempt to find something of worth to please everyone and prove his value, but it's invariably just some piece of garbage or scrap he excitedly finds, and that just reinforces their opinion of his worthlessness once again. If it wasn't for his shovel's unique ability to detect needed materials, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and the others would likely have dumped the poor scrub long ago.

Scavenger combines with his fellow Constructicons to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], where he serves the useful function of right arm.

Millions of years ago, the evil Scavenger and the Constructicons built [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] for the Decepticons. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Out of gratitude, Megatron would later turn the Constructicons evil with his [[Robosmasher|Robo-Smasher]] device, {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}} and eventually built them on Earth. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}}

{{note|Nothing in the preceding statements is confusing. These aren't the droids you're looking for.}}

[[File:HeavyMetalWar Scavenger.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|"This shovel of mine glows with an awesome power!"]]
For their first mission on Earth, the Constructicons raided an experimental power plant for the energy disc components and power converter on-site. The humans were using the components to tap into Earth's magnetic field for an infinite power supply and all the energy they'd ever need. Such a simple-minded (and straightforward) scheme was too unimaginative for the mighty Megatron, however—he had the Constructicons (1) build a strength transfer machine so that he could (2) utilize the powers of his fellow Decepticons to (3) best [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] in personal combat and (4) force the Autobots into exile in deep space as a matter of honor, which would (5) leave Earth's resources open for plunder by the Decepticons in order to get (6) all the energy they'd ever need. An evil scheme without at least five unnecessary steps is fodder to Megatron.

To ensure his treachery went undetected, Megatron sent the Constructicons to destroy [[Teletraan I]], and prevent the super-computer from alerting the Autobots to his strength transfer. While all the Autobots left the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] to watch the combat, Scavenger and friends tunneled into the volcanic caverns underneath [[Mount St. Hilary]]. Using his shovel's sensors, Scavenger pinpointed Teletraan I's location so that [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] could burn his way through the floor of Autobot headquarters. They thought the mission would be as simple as destroying a computer console...but nothing is simple when the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] are on guard duty. The dim-witted but battle-hardened Dinobots forced the Constructicons outside and away from Teletraan I. To compensate, the Constructicons assumed their [[Devastator (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Devastator]] mode and turned the tide. With Teletraan I still active, though, the Autobots quickly uncovered Megatron's deception, and came to lend their dino-buddies a hand. [[Hound (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hound]] used his holograms to distract Devastator long enough for Optimus Prime to blast him to pieces. Fleeing from the Dinobots' wrath, Scavenger and his teammates tumbled into a lava fissure opened up earlier by [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]]'s groundquakes, and were temporarily deactivated. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}}

[[File:CityofSteel Scavengerwreckstheceiling.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|"But Megatron, sir, we just built this base—" "Shut up and SMASH!!"]]
During a plan to turn [[New York City]] into New Cybertron, Megatron employed the Constructicons for...urban renewal. Several landmark buildings in Manhattan were loosened at their foundations and lowered into underground caverns by the Decepticons, allowing Cybertronian towers to be raised in their place. While [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]] and [[Hook (G1)|Hook]] argued over whose creative contribution was greater to the overall plan, Scavenger dutifully used his shovel to break the foundation of the Empire State Building, and quickly jumped to safety as the building fell onto the lowering platform. When the Autobots arrived to stop the Decepticon plan, Megatron arranged to kidnap Optimus Prime with Scavenger's help. After [[Laserbeak (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Laserbeak]] reported the Autobots would be at a rendez-vous in Central Park, Megatron and Scavenger travelled to that location in their underground lair and, reviving the trick he used on Teletraan I earlier, Scavenger pinpointed when they were directly underneath Optimus Prime in the park above. Scavenger then slammed his shovel with enough force to shatter the ground under Prime's feet, causing the Autobot leader to fall into Megatron's awaiting arms. Later on, Scavenger and the Constructicons joined forces to form Devastator, but were once again taken down by a single shot from Optimus Prime's laser rifle. And his arm wasn't even attached this time! {{storylink|City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel}}

When next employed by the Decepticons, Scavenger and the Constructicons built a [[transfixatron]] for Megatron to freeze the Autobots in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. After rendering the Autobots helpless, a second (and elaborate) Constructicon device would crush the Autobots into chunks. In a turn of events no one could possibly see coming, the initial plan failed and Megatron was forced to rely on his back-up strategy: initiate Devastator and crush everything. This time, [[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cliffjumper]] defeated Devastator by turning the transfixatron on its own creators, causing Scavenger and friends to lose their "transformation identity" and revert helplessly back to vehicle mode. {{storylink|The Autobot Run}}

[[File:TheCore ConstructiconsMegatronPoint.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|"I thought I told you kids to clean out the gutters!"]]
In their next endeavor, the Constructicons were charged with building a drill to tunnel down to [[Earth's core|Earth's molten core]], unleashing the energy for Megatron's use and consumption. Scavenger nearly upset the entire project, however, after a malfunction in his geological sensors guided the drill to an unstable part of the mantle—the resultant rock fracture nearly upset the entire drill site. What's worse, when Scavenger was having his circuits checked out by Mixmaster on the surface, they were spotted by a group of Autobots. This in part led to the Autobots temporarily gaining control over the Constructicons and Devastator, although Megatron would tell you that was part of his plan all along. In the end, Megatron's plan inevitably went wrong and threatened all life on Earth. Devastator was the only one who could fly to the center of the earth to stop the drilling in time. In their group huddle before combining, Scavenger actually started tearing up, telling his fellow Constructicons how great it was being part of the team. [[Bonecrusher (G1)|Bonecrusher]] essentially told him to grow a robo-spine, and then they saved the world. {{storylink|The Core}}

Sometime later, Scavenger and the Constructicons exploited [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]]'s artistic nature for their own ends. Grapple had designed a solar power tower that could produce limitless energy, but couldn't get the plan approved by Optimus Prime without an explanation of how he'd keep it from the Decepticons. The Constructicons came upon [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] and the distraught Grapple, and offered their services for the "greater glory of art." Scavenger was right there with the other Constructicons, manipulating Grapple's pride as an engineer. The Autobots eventually destroyed the tower and saved Grapple and Hoist after the Constructicons turned on them, but this outing proved that—despite his easy-to-please nature and team player attitude with his fellow Constructicons—Scavenger was ultimately a Decepticon at heart. {{storylink|The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders}}

[[File:Microbots RumbleScavenger.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|"Nice shootin'... if you were aimin' for the sky!"]]
When searching for the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' after it was unearthed in Central America, Scavenger and the Constructicons aided the Decepticons in clearing a path to the lost ship. Scavenger enjoyed some bonding time with [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], destroying the foliage and making fun of [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]. Later, he used his sensors to track down the ship's stardrive by locating the [[Cybertroid alloy]] inside. {{storylink|Microbots}}

Nearly all the Autobots and Decepticons on Earth began suffering from a [[Cybertonium]] deficiency, losing their fine motor control and proper operating status without this necessary element. Scavenger and the Constructicons were among the few Transformers on Earth unaffected (which actually makes sense under any of their origins), and were awaiting a shipment of Cybertonium from [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]] via the [[space bridge]] when the Dinobots attacked. Scavenger missed the call-to-arms to become Devastator, though, and was knocked aside by Sludge before he could merge with the others. This left Devastator a handicapped southpaw, and the Dinobots made their way through the space bridge to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}}

[[File:DesertionDinobots1 ScavengerDinobots.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Scavenger was listening to his iPod while digging, and didn't hear the call to battle. Look what happened. Remember, kids—don't excavate and iPod.]]
While mining an asteroid in low orbit for Megatron, Scavenger and the Constructicons confronted Omega Supreme for the first time since leaving Cybertron. They only managed to avoid his vengeance because Optimus Prime forced Omega Supreme to put his duty before revenge—it was clear that a mad Omega Supreme would easily outmatch Devastator in a fight any other day of the week. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

Scavenger's sensing abilities enabled the Decepticons to precisely locate and excavate the [[Pearl of Bahoudin]]. His digging uncovered the Pearl and its weather-altering powers for Megatron. Shortly afterward, he joined almost a dozen of his teammates in surrounding and firing on three Autobots who had captured the Pearl. {{storylink|Trans-Europe Express}}

[[File:TFTM Scavenger.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|"I'm tired of being a doormat! It's time for Scavenger to shine!"]]
After Starscream finally engaged in open rebellion against Megatron, the Decepticon commander gathered Scavenger and the other Constructicons to his side in order to battle the traitor and his brigade. Megatron considered Devastator his ultimate weapon to use against Starscream, but Starscream had prepared his [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] with a combined form of their own: [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. Bruticus made remarkably short work of the Mighty Devastator. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

[[File:TFTM Daniel rams Decepticons.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|left]]
In preparation for the [[Battle of Autobot City|Decepticon assault]] on [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], the Constructicons helped Megatron and Starscream board an [[Autobot shuttle]]. [[Prowl (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Prowl]], one of the crew members, attacked Scavenger, who returned fire and killed him with a single shot. And he ''still'' gets no respect. The Decepticons subsequently flew the shuttle to Autobot City, where the Constructicons wrecked things both separately and as Devastator until Megatron was defeated and Starscream called for a retreat. On the [[Astrotrain (G1)|train ride]] home, a fight for leadership broke out, but the Constructicons didn't win. Instead the victory went to Starscream, and Scavenger and his comrades were content with playing horns at his coronation. However, Starscream was soon killed by [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], a reborn Megatron who immediately took back control of his troops. Scavenger followed Galvatron to the planet of [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]] to hunt down [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], but ended up being knocked over by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] alongside [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|Scavenger’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]."}}

[[File:ScavengerFFOD1.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|""Cannot answer now?" Son of a-"]]
Following Galvatron's defeat, the Decepticon army was forced to live on the barren world of [[Chaar]], where they fought each other over the small scraps of [[energon]] they could find. When Astrotrain arrived with a shipment of three or four [[energon cube]]s, Scavenger punched Bonecrusher in the back and grabbed his share, despite Bonecrusher calling dibs on it. Scavenger doesn't care for the rule of dibs. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} Oddly enough, Scavenger was not present when the other Constructicons built and activated [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

Scavenger and the Constructicons later constructed a giant engine on an asteroid, in order to send the giant rock crashing into [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. When a group of Autobots came to destroy the engine, Scavenger formed the right leg of Devastator, which should not be possible. Regardless, Devastator was immediately defeated by [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], and the Constructicons soon crashed onto the planet [[Eurythma]]. There, Scavenger stole Scrapper's position on the combiner ''again'', and Devastator was defeated by a single blast from [[Perceptor (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Perceptor]]. ''Perceptor''. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}}

When the rest of the Constructicons participated in the attack on [[Paradron]], Scavenger was again nowhere to be seen. They must really not like him. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} As part of Devastator, he later helped [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] fight [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] in the sea of [[Japan]]. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}} Alongside the other Constructicons, Scavenger was very briefly seen joining in on the attack on the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

On an island paradise, Scavenger and the Constructicons were performing excavation work for Megatron's new fortress, at the cost of the natural resources and precious animals. The Autobots arrived to stop the Decepticons. Despite their vast power, [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] and the combined Devastator failed to defeat the Autobots due to their lack of teamwork, and the Constructicons were knocked back into their component parts.

In the year [[2010]], Scavenger participated in a Decepticon attack on the planet Feminia. He and his team merged into Devastator in order to battle alongside Bruticus and Menasor against their Autobot counterparts Superion, Defensor and Omega Supreme. The fight was fairly evenly matched until Galvatron called up his ace-in-the-hole, [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], whose power was unmatched by any of the Autobots... except for the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]], who essentially tied Predaking's shoelaces together until he fell over, straight into Devastator and his chums, sending them all toppling to the ground and knocking them to bits. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

When the Decepticons learned of the Scramble City project being secretly assembled by the Autobots, Megatron sent his henchmen to interfere with their work. The Constructicons joined Starscream and his flying partners in an attack on the Autobots. Optimus Prime and a task force of Autobots held their position until Scavenger and the Constructicons inevitably joined forces into Devastator. The Aerialbots gave Devastator a good whippin', though, and the Decepticons retreated. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
Scavenger and the Constructicons were stationed on Earth in 2011, under the command of [[Sixshot]]. They attempted to prevent Ultra Magnus from sending reinforcements to Cybertron to help the Autobots fend off Galvatron's siege on [[Vector Sigma]]. Scavenger and his squad were ganging up on the [[Trainbot]]s until [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] arrived and shooed them off with his superior firepower. Having failed to stop the Autobot reinforcements from departing, the Constructicons followed them to Cybertron. As Devastator, they tried to shoot [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] in the back, but Optimus Prime foiled their aim, making them hit [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] instead. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Devastator was involved in a combiner shootout on Cybertron until the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] arrived and annihilated the Decepticon combiners. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

{{Wingsnote}}
Nine million years ago, Scavenger was a member of the construction team that built [[Crystal City]]. It was during this project that he and his fellow Constructicons were introduced to [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 42|Hauler's ''Wings of Honor'' profile}} The Constructicons rose to prominence thanks to their immense architectural skills, and formed their own faction under the leadership of Hook. They were forced to align themselves with the Decepticons in order to maintain access to Kaon's smelting pools, which granted him access to the raw building material they needed to continue their work. Unhappy with this arrangement, seven renegade Constructicons went underground, building Megatron in an attempt to take power for themselves. Unfortunately for them, Megatron turned on them and formed his own group of Decepticons, eventually brainwashing Scavenger and the others into his service with the Robo-Smasher. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 42|Devastator's ''Wings of Honor'' profile}} Among their first acts as Decepticons, the Constructicons destroyed Crystal City. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 42|Hauler's ''Wings of Honor'' profile}}

Scavenger was part of Hook's team when [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] ordered the creation of Devastator. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}} During the third Cybertronian war, the Constructicons were ambushed at [[Elevation Recostalus]] by a group of Autobots including [[Hauler]] and [[Erector (G1)|Erector]], who disabled them before they could form Devastator. The group remained offline until 1984, when Megatron rebuilt them on Earth. {{storylink|Transformers I.Q.#issue 45|Transformers I.Q. last issue review}}

During the [[Battle of Autobot City]], Devastator was blasted apart by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s team.

[[File:Constructiconsbornmarvel.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Scavenger is the green and purple one.]]
Early in the Transformers' war on [[Earth]], [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] used the stolen power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] to give life to the first of a new generation of Decepticon warriors, the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. Scavenger and his Constructicons were immediately given a mission upon their coming online: to construct a communications tower to transmit a message to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. A truck stop was raided for raw materials, which attracted the ire of trucker [[Bomber Bill]], who, with the aid of the [[Autobot]]s, managed to destroy the tower Scavenger and the other Constructicons had built. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}}

[[File:Soundwave scavenger dinobot hunt.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
''With both Shockwave and [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] out of action, Scavenger fell under [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s command and assisted him in capturing the rogue [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] [[Sludge (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Sludge]] as well as the hapless [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Cliffjumper]], [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] and [[Gears (G1)|Gears]]. By setting Sludge against [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] in the [[human]] town of [[Doonstown]] and booby-trapping their own [[Ark shuttlecraft|shuttle]] against [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s Autobots when they arrived, Soundwave, Scavenger and [[Skywarp (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Skywarp]] managed to inflict significant casualties on the enemy and won the day for the Decepticons.'' {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt!}}

''Scavenger and the Constructicons, after troubleshooting their union as [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], were sent by Shockwave to abduct [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]. After tracking the boy down to a demolition derby, and merging into Devastator to fend off the Autobots they found there, the Constructicons' attack was suddenly called off. While Devastator battled, Soundwave had discovered that Buster held the rest of the Creation Matrix in his head, and considered this too great a revelation to proceed as initially planned.'' {{storylink|Devastation Derby!}}

After [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s retaking of Decepticon command, Scavenger and the other Constructicons were charged with building perimeter defenses around [[Wyoming base|their headquarters]] located at the base of a coal strip mine in eastern [[Wyoming]]. Devastator's services were again required when the Autobots staged a surprise attack, but they retreated once they had what they needed; data on the Constructicons' combining process. {{storylink|Command Performances!}}

''While the Decepticons were searching for their errant captive [[Donny Finkleberg|Robot Master]], Soundwave picked up a signal of [[Joy Meadows]] appearing on ''[[Between the Lines]]'' threatening to expose the truth of the Transformers' war on Earth. Following [[Swoop (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Swoop]] thanks to a [[Intelligence and Information Institute|Triple I]] tracer, Megatron, Soundwave, Scavenger and the rest of the Constructicons located the human reporter being sheltered by the Dinobots and proceeded to beat the snot out of them. The battle was turned against the Decepticons by the arrival of [[Centurion (Marvel)|Centurion]] and so Soundwave decided to end it by incinerating the humans' footage. Once more victorious, Scavenger and the others left the Dinobots to lick their wounds.'' {{storylink|In the National Interest}}

''The Constructicons were sent into frigid [[Yukon]] territory to work on a secret project. They were discovered by [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]] and [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]], only for the two Autobots to accidentally betray their presence with an accidental weapons discharge. The Constructicons chased down the interlopers, blasting at them through a nearby forest. During the chase, they merged into Devastator in an attempt to overtake the pair. While in this form, they were duped into blasting a hydro-electric dam. Realizing what was coming, the Constructicons only had time enough to separate before the concrete structure collapsed, unleashing a torrent of water. The Constructicons were submerged in the flood, allowing the Autobots to escape.'' {{storylink|The Mission}}

[[File:Scavenger shrapnel daniel the final battle.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7]]
When Megatron launched an all-out offensive against [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in the year [[2005]], Scavenger was among the troops who besieged the outpost. He and the other Constructicons combined into Devastator at Megatron's command to breach Autobot City's outer defenses. When the Decepticons were eventually forced to retreat inside [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], the Constructicons were relatively unscathed from the battle. As such, they voted that all injured Transformers be jettisoned when Astrotrain complained he didn't have the energy necessary to carry them all back to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}}

After a brief substitution in leadership, the Decepticons fell back under the command of Megatron, now reborn as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. Scavenger and [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] accompanied him when he traveled to the [[Junkion (planet)|planet of Junk]] to snatch away the [[Matrix of Leadership]] from [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. Scavenger and Shrapnel went after an easy target in Magnus's group, attacking the young human [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]].

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
Scavenger, like most of the Constructicons, served under Megatron's command during the Earthforce saga. He was first seen talking to [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]] from Shockwave's camp during the [[Enclave]], a peace-talk called for when the fighting between Megatron and Shockwave's factions reached its zenith. He was presumably swept into the brawl that resulted from the Autobots faking an assassination attempt on Megatron. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}} Later, he was present when Soundwave and [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] successfully took over the factions and united the Decepticons. {{storylink|Internal Affairs!}} Scavenger joined the majority of the Decepticon forces in a major attack on Autobot [[Earthbase]] under Soundwave's command, hoping to draw attention away from Starscream's raid on an off-shore [[oil tanker]]... and maybe kill a 'Bot or two. Instead, they ended up with no [[oil]], and Scavenger got roasted by [[Slag (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Slag]]'s flame breath. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic====
Scavenger was seen on board the [[Warworld]] among the Decepticons rallied by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

====''Classics''====
{{noteclassics}}
Thanks to partial schematics culled from [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]'s data-tracs, Megatron was able to rebuild Scavenger and the Constructicons in his efforts to rebuild his power base. As a side effect of Megatron's reconstruction work, the meek Scavenger was now the largest of the Constructicons. Scavenger and his team assembled aboard [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] to help Megatron lay claim to a source of [[Rarified Energon]]. {{storylink|Crossing Over, Part 2}}

Facing the Autobots in battle over the new energon, Scavenger and the Constructicons merged into their new [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] form. Devastator was tougher than [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] in battle, but also proved tougher than the ground beneath his feet. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 3}} Only the individual Constructicons emerged from the cave-in, and they proved the definition of "gestalt" by being incapable of beating Grimlock as five when they succeeded as one. Scavenger and his teammates dogpiled on Grimlock, but could not hold him back. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 5}} Where strength failed, Scavenger and [[Hightower (Classics)|Hightower]] tried guile.

===Marvel Storybooks continuity===
Under the guise of the [[Global Corporation]], Scavenger and his fellow Constructicons created sophisticated buildings all around the world. Within each building, however, was hidden a mechanism that would trap underground all within the structure. When the scheme was put into motion and the Autobots responded with an attack, Scavenger and his fellow Contructicons merged to become The Devastator. Though in this form, the Constructicons were able to overpower the Autobots, that changed when the Dinobots arrived. Scavenger and Mixmaster died when Swoop sliced through both of The Devastator's legs with his sword. {{storylink|Battle for Earth}}

As Devastator, Scavenger and the other Constructicons stumbled upon [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] admiring his reflection in the wilderness, and managed to capture the vain Autobot. The group revealed their individual components to their prisoner once he was safely locked up within Decepticon headquarters. They rejoined forces to combat an Autobot rescue party that attempted to storm Decepticon base, and captured [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] as well, putting them in Sunstreaker's cell. The Constructicons were once more prompted to combine into Devastator to contemplate an Autobot peace offering; a life-sized statue of the gestalt! The peace offering turned out to be an Autobot ruse, and reinforcement burst forth from within the statue. The Autobots forced Devastator to break up into his component pieces by thoroughly dividing his attention, and so Scavenger joined the fight against the Autobots as an individual. The Decepticons ultimately lost the battle to the Autobots. {{storylink|The Autobots' Secret Weapon}}
{{note|In "The Autobots' Secret Weapon," Scavenger is never portrayed in any of the illustrations, nor is he called out by name in the text. However, he must be present for Devastator to be formed.

Shockwave led the Constructicons in an attack on a human village, intent on razing the town and building a fuel plant in its place. The Constructicons, blindly loyal to Shockwave, obeyed all his orders as he dispensed them. As he worked, Scavenger boasted that the Autobots wouldn't learn about the Constructicons' handiwork until it would be too late. Little did the Decepticons know, they were being spied upon from orbit by the Autobot [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]]. Cosmos relayed what was happening to his teammates, who rolled into action to put an end to the Decepticons' plot. Scavenger was attacked by [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]], who made the Constructicon "go crunch" by shoving him down a pit. After the rest of the Decepticons had been made to join Scavenger in his pit, the Autobots pored quick-drying cement on them to hold them in place, keeping them out of further trouble. {{storylink|The Autobot Spy in the Sky}}

===Find Your Fate Junior===

====Autobot Alert!====
In one possible scenario, the Constructicons were responsible for building the Decepticons’ command centre in the evil robots’ latest plot of taking over the Earth. They also were responsible for stocking Astrotrain with explosives and weapons before the Decepticon shuttle launched into space to further sabotage Earth's satellites.

In a different possible scenario, the Constructicons joined Galvatron on his campaign to retrieve an ancient cybertite sphere containing the secret of an ancient Autobot power-booster. Discovering that the sphere was within a sunken ship off the California coast, the Constructicons merged into Devastator in order to retrieve it. {{storylink|Autobot Alert!}}
{{-}}

====The Invisibility Factor====
[[File:InvisibilityFactorGalvatronShockwaveandScavenger.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
In one possible scenario, Scavenger accompanied Galvatron on a patrol in a desert at night. Upon spotting a spaceship that flickered in-and-out of sight, the patrol investigated. Finding the Autobots Kup and Hot Rod conversing with a woman at the ship's landing site, Scavenger and the others fired upon them, causing them to scramble away. Galvatron then ordered his troops to stay and scrutinize the spaceship instead of pursuing the Autobots.

If Hot Rod and Kup decided to attack immediately, the Autobots were easily defeated and destroyed by the Scavenger and the other Decepticons.

If Hot Rod and Kup silently followed the Decepticons back to their hide-out in a nearby canyon, they managed to tricked Scavenger and the others into thinking that they were being ambushed by a whole squadron of Autobots. Panicking, the Decepticons attempted to retaliate by firing in all directions.

If Hot Rod snuck down and successfully snatched the Invisibility Device from Shockwave, the Decepticons gave chase to the young Autobot. They were unable to catch him before Kup fired down onto the canyon's walls, causing it to collapse and burying the Decepticons under an avalanche of earth and rocks.

In an alternate scenario, Scavenger and the other Decepticons decided to take off into space in Sarah Sander's ship after acquiring the Invisibility Device. Whether the Decepticons succeeded in mastering the Invisibility Device and subsequently destroyed the Autobots, or were destroyed or defeated themselves depended on what choices the Autobots made from this point on.

In yet another alternate scenario, the Decepticons were to first to make contact with Sarah Sanders. While the rest of his squadron dragged her spacecraft away, Scavenger himself held Sarah captive.

If the Autobots decided to rescue Sarah immediately, Scavenger was at first ready to fight them off, but upon seeing how outnumbered he was, he dropped the woman, and cried for help while attempting to flee.

If the Autobots pursued Scavenger, the Decepticon still managed to rejoin his squadron of Decepticons. He quickly informed them of his situation, and pointed them towards his pursuers. In whichever scenario that followed, the Autobots managed to steal the Invisibility Device from the Decepticons, either dazzling Scavenger and the others with their headlights while Hot Rod took the device right out of their hands, or tricking most of the other Decepticons into leaving the spaceship behind while they pursued the young Autobot on a wild goose chase. Now greatly outnumbered, Scavenger quickly fell to the Autobots’ firepower. {{storylink|The Invisibility Factor}}

[[File:Scavenger war within.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
Nine million years ago, Scavenger was involved in the early days of the Decepticons, and specifically Megatron's plan to turn the planet into a cosmic dreadnought. He eagerly defended the project from Autobot invaders... right up until the point [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] shot him in the face. Without looking. {{storylink|The War Within issue 6|The War Within #6}} He and the other Constructicons later created the gestalt process, giving them the power to merge into Devastator. After the technology was widely distributed, however, the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]] came down banning the use of Special Teams as too dangerous. The Constructicons were the first to break the Accords during the Dark Ages, joining up with [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and his [[Ultracon]]s. {{storylink|Escalation}} As Devastator, they attempted to seize control of the [[Tagan Heights]] from the [[Wrecker]]s, and also had an epic battle with [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. Ultimately, Devastator was taken down by the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] who overloaded him with electricity. This not only shut Devastator down, but also forced him to split into his component 'bots. {{storylink|Devastation}}

Although they were apparently not part of the crew of the ''Nemesis'', Scavenger and the Constructicons did somehow wind up on Earth in the 1980s, fighting alongside Megatron and his crew against the Autobots. In 1998, Scavenger was captured and deactivated along with the rest of the Decepticons following [[Operation Liberation]]. Roughly a year later, after the explosion of the ''[[Ark II]]'', Scavenger's body was recovered by the mercenary known as [[Lazarus]], who attempted to reprogram many of the Transformers into controllable soldiers. Once Megatron overcame this programming, however, he freed his fellow Decepticons and they began to terrorize the Earth once more. Scavenger and the Constructicons attacked a city in [[California]] shortly after being freed, using their Devastator form to cause horrendous amounts of property damage. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 5|Prime Directive #5}} It took some daredevil maneuvering by Optimus Prime himself to bring them down. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6|Prime Directive #6}}

''Scavenger and the Constructicons were later reactivated by Starscream, during a time when Megatron was missing and Decepticon leadership was changing hands. They took up residence in [[Las Vegas]], converting the city for Decepticon use. Needless to say there was some resistance, and a small army of humans and Autobots led by [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] soon invaded the territory. Scavenger did not personally engage in battle, although he may have been responsible for pulling four of his deactivated teammates to safety while [[Long Haul (G1)|Long Haul]] distracted the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}''

''Megatron eventually returned to Earth, but Scavenger and the Constructicons owed Starscream for reconstructing them, and so remained loyal to him when the Decepticons split into two factions. Of course, this only meant they were among the first to be captured by the [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]] when those aliens took over Las Vegas and turned Starscream into their puppet. Trapped behind an impenetrable force dome, Scavenger and the Constructicons attempted to batter their way out as Devastator using sheer brute force, until [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] offered a better idea. Reconverting into their separate modes, Bonecrusher dug a tunnel out beneath the force field and Scavenger excavated it, enabling Starscream's faction to join the final battle against the Keepers. Acting as Devastator, they were too far away from [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and his [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced force shield when the American nuclear assault was dropped on the Keepers, and were blasted into pieces. {{storylink|Transformers: Annihilation|Annihilation}}''

''The nuclear blast left Devastator fused into his singular [[robot mode]], leaving him unable to split back into Scavenger and his other components. Eventually, Devastator fell into the Void along with [[Omega Sentinel (G1)|Omega Sentinel]] in the final conflict with the Keepers, and was left in stasis lock, drifting in the vacuum of space, after the Sentinel destroyed the Keepers' power source and shattered the Void back into real space-time. The starship ''[[Bounty]]'', on a secret space mission from Earth, came across Devastator's remains and planned to tow him back to Earth. {{storylink|Transformers: Fusion|Fusion}}''

The pieces of Scavenger and the Constructicons fell under the control of [[Earth Defense Command]], and were held in their [[Roswell]] facility for study. {{storylink|Generation 1 issue 0|Generation 1 #0}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
The ruthless terrorist organization known as [[Cobra]] dug dozens of Autobots and Decepticons out of their four-million-year resting place and began rebuilding them into a Cobra-controlled army. However, with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]]'s help, the mind-controlled Transformers were awakened just as [[Doctor Mindbender]] expressed surprise at the Constructicons' meticulousness. Scavenger kindly offered to "meticulously" tear the doctor to pieces. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 3|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #3}}

He ultimately didn't get to have any fun with maiming, as Soundwave arrived and took Mindbender for his own purposes before ordering the Constructicons to defend the [[SPS Satellite]] controls from the Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joes]] that were assaulting [[Cobra Island]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 4|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #4}} Scavenger and his comrades went outside and formed Devastator, but were defeated by the attackers soon after killing [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 5|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5}}

===''The Beast Within''===
During a particularly violent battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, Scavenger watched on in horror as [[Beast (G1)|The Beast]], the Dinobots’ gestalt form, dispatched Predaking in one sword strike. Brought out of his stupor by Onslaught, Scavenger joined with the other Constructicons to form Devastator. {{storylink|The Beast Within}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[Megatron Origin issue 2|''Megatron Origin'' #2]]; [[All Hail Megatron issue 1|''Transformers: All Hail Megatron'' #1]] (modern era)
[[File:MegsOrigin2 Constructicons.jpg|thumb|upright=1.65]]
After getting laid off due to the [[Senate]] "reforms" being championed by [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]], Scavenger and the other Constructicons sought out new work—with [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]. The secrecy necessary for operating the underground [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiator sports]] of [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] meant that the combat arena needed to be mobile. As a result, the Constructicons were given the unique and challenging job of building a new arena from scratch before every battle, using only the scrap and other materials on-site. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}} They also worked with repairing Megatron and other injured gladiators after their battles. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}}

The Constructions witnessed [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] recruit an army of Autobots to overthrow the Decepticon tyranny of Cybertron. {{storylink|Broadcast}} As the war began in earnest between the Autobots and Decepticons, the Constructicons remained loyal followers of Megatron. At one point they were stationed on [[Varas Centralus]] alongside [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]], where they committed some atrocity that was enough to cause Sky-Byte to abandon the Decepticon cause. {{storylink|A Better Tomorrow}}

[[File:AHM1 Scavenger.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|left]]
In modern times, Scavenger and the Constructicons came to Earth for Megatron's major offensive against the planet. Using the newly acquired gestalt technology, they merged into [[Devastator (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Devastator]] and easily swept aside the Autobot forces, leaving Earth ripe for conquest. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7|All Hail Megatron #7}} The Constructicons were involved in the opening strike on [[New York City]], bringing down buildings and causing massive civilian casualties. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 1|All Hail Megatron #1}} Later, they formed Devastator and destroyed all the underground tunnels leading in and out of the city, cutting it off from the outside world. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 2|All Hail Megatron #2}}

[[File:Bumblebee2 Scavenger attacks Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Bumblebee just failed the same [[:File:Remorse democracy.jpg|leadership test]] Scavenger gave to [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]].]]
Scavenger joined [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]'s side during the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]'s revolution, combining with the other Constructicons to form Devastator and attacking Megatron. Megatron put up a good fight, but was eventually defeated and only survived due to the arrival of human jets from the [[European Union]]. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}} After spending some time swiping at the attacking planes, Devastator was attacked by [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11|All Hail Megatron #11}}, who defeated him by shooting him through the chest. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12|All Hail Megatron #12}}

Following the Decepticons' defeat, Scavenger was separated from the other Constructicons and went on the run from [[Skywatch]]. Two years later, after he had successfully avoided capture for a while, the humans decided to focus on hunting down [[Blurr (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Blurr]] instead. Apparently, not even Skywatch considered Scavenger particularly important. {{storylink|The Hanging Sword}} In an attempt to escape from Skywatch, Scavenger painted himself in less conspicuous colors and spent a week trying to sneak aboard a cargo ship going out of the country. However, he was found by [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]], who wanted the Autobots and Decepticons to work together in order to prove to the humans that they were equals. This enraged Scavenger, who strictly considered the "meat bags" lesser beings to be ruled over, and lashed out at Bumblebee with his shovel. As the Autobot fled, Scavenger taunted him and went back into hiding. {{storylink|The Impossible Knot}}

[[File:Devisive Blurr finds Constructicons and Bombshell.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
After the war ended, Scavenger worked for the Autobots on Cybertron until he spotted [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] being chased by the Autobots. Coming to Bombshell's defense, the Constructicons beat up Blurr and fought with [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] until [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] showed up, threatening to detonate their [[Inhibitor/deterrence chip|I/D chips]]. They just taunted him since [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] had disabled their chips, but Prowl used a secret passcode to override the disabling and detonate them anyway, seemingly killing all the Constructicons. {{storylink|Devisive}} In fact, the Autobot had fallen under Bombshell's mind-control, allowing the Insecticon to fake the Constructicons' deaths and hide them away for the purpose of perfecting Devastator. {{storylink|The Verge}} Once Megatron returned from a long absence, Scavenger combined with his fellows into the new Devastator—with Prowl serving as the head—who was then deployed to conquer [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} Devastator was taken apart when Prowl fought back and rejected the combiner, which would have allowed Megatron himself to take his place had the Decepticon leader not been defeated in the process of combining. {{storylink|Heavy Is the Head}}

The Decepticons were exiled from Iacon following their defeat, but Scavenger and the Constructicons, impressed by the terrible things they'd seen in Prowl's mind, left the others to join their new idol in the similarly exiled Autobot forces. After a brief battle with the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], they were allowed to stay at the Autobot camp, where they promptly picked a fight with Arcee before the Dinobots calmed them down with camaraderie and energon. {{storylink|Second Exodus}} They were caught in the [[Quintessa (IDW)|Necrotitan]]'s "death wave", but were healed from its effects when the Titan was brought down by [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}} As the Transformers got together to celebrate the defeat of the Necrotitan, Scavenger and his teammates only had praise for Prowl, much to his discomfort. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} As Cybertron was attacked by 70 billion [[Ammonite]]s sent by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], the Constructicons followed Prowl into battle and convinced him to form Devastator again for the sake of defeating [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]]. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}}

Convinced that the Constructicons were a useful resource, Prowl made them his own personal strike force and took them with him on a mission to Earth. On arrival they saved the ''[[Ark-7]]'' from burrowing human drone-missiles, then formed Devastator to fight [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]'s Decepticons. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 2: Detonation Boulevard|Detonation Boulevard}} When the Autobots located where [[Earth Defense Command]] was holding [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], Prowl had Scavenger become a double agent and leak the information to the Decepticons. {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}} He and the Constructicons subsequently participated in the attack on the EDC base, using stealth paint to sneak into the battle zone before forming Devastator and destroying the base. {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 5: I Dream of Wires|I Dream of Wires}} Back aboard the ''Ark-7'', Prowl and the Constructicons listened in on Optimus Prime's conversation with Alpha Trion. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

When the Autobots began hunting for the [[Enigma of Combination]], Prowl and the Constructicons went in serach of Spike Witwicky. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part One: Signals, Calls, and Marches|Signals, Calls, and Marches}} Their search took them to [[Tokyo]], where they secured their asset but ran afoul of Galvatron. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Two: Vs.|Vs.}} Feigning a truce with their mutual nemesis, the team stormed the [[Onyx]] facility by forming Devastator. Devastator ultimately went berserk due to his loathing of Spike and ruined the mission, allowing [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] to abscond with the Enigma. The team was forced to retreat to the ''Ark-7''. {{storylink|The Onyx Interface Conclusion: The Obliterati|The Obliterati}}

After Prowl learned that Optimus Prime had helped Starscream form a permanent [[Council of Worlds|alliance]] with [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], the team hijacked the ship's new spacebridge to travel to Cybertron {{storylink|The Possible Light}}, where they formed Devastator. Superion and Defensor ultimately brought down Devastator, and the Constructicons were sent to a secret prison - Starscream wasn't done with them yet. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}} Seeking a new edge, Starscream drafted [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] into the team, knowing that Scoop's fanaticism would force Devastator to obey his orders. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} Ultimately, however, Devastator wound up losing control. After [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]] and his fellow combiners felled the giant, the Constructicons went back to jail. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

Although the individual Constructicons were still considered criminals, Starscream made allowances for releasing his own loyal combiner when necessary. The Constructicons reformed Devastator at Starscream's command to thwart a group of Decepticons commandeering the space bridge, {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} and to siege the colony ship [[Vigilem|Carcer]] when [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-One]] refused to transform her Titan in defense of Cybertron from [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]]'s [[zombie]] fleet. {{storylink|Desperate Measures (Till All Are One)|Desperate Measures}}

Following the impeachment and arrest of Starscream, the Constructicons received pardons, and later watched from a nearby rooftop as [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]] and [[Liege Maximo]] arrived on Cybertron and joined Optimus and his retinue for a meeting in the [[Spire]]. Though the other Constructicons initially laughed off off Scoop's renewed faith in his "Chosen One," who had seemingly foreseen this series of events, {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}} the team wound up forming Devastator to break an indignant Starscream out of prison. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 3: The Ground|The Ground}}

With Onyx Prime unmasked as none other than [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], the Constructicons wound up battling against [[Victorion]] on Starscream's orders. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|The Hallowing}} Though they were initially able to withstand her gravity powers, {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 5: Endless Forever|Endless Forever}} this was soon revealed to be the work of Liege Maximo, using supplies of [[Ore-4]] to buffer them against Victorion's attacks. When [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] destroyed this ore, Victorion was able to unleash a devastating gravitational onslaught which fatally crushed Scavenger and the other Constructicons. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}}

Scavenger and the other Constructicons formed Devastator to attack the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] starship ''[[Defiant (G.I. Joe)|Defiant]]'', successfully destroying one of its two modules. Devastator was blown back into his components when [[Wild Bill]] rammed the other module straight into him. {{storylink|Targetmasters (issue)|Targetmasters}}

Later, once the Decepticons and [[Cobra]] had merged to become "Decepticobra," Scavenger participated in a coordinated, multi-front attack on the Autobots' city of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]].

Scavenger, Long Haul and Scrapper all battled Megatron in the ruins of an old coliseum, but he easily overpowered them all. Upon overhearing Windbade say that Starscream possessed the [[Enigma of Combination]], Long Haul signaled a plan to Scavenger and the other Constructicons, and they later formed Devastator in an attempt to take the Enigma for themselves. {{storylink|Unforgotten}} In the aftermath of the [[Combiner Wars (event)|Combiner Wars]], Scavenger was among those assisting with the reconstruction efforts. {{storylink|Aftermath and Rebirth}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
Half of the original Constructicon team survived the Great War, including '''Skavenger'''. [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] helped reform the team in the days after the [[Armistice]], creating a two-thirds Autobot roster and convincing the Constructicons to undergo [[Micromaster]] downsizing, losing social hierarchy among the [[Builder of Cybertron|Builder]]s but retaining their mobility in the energon-depleted era. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}} {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}

During the [[Grand Uprising]], Skavenger and the Constructicons served the Builders against the [[Resistance]]. They ran a prisoner transport through [[Proximax]] to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] when they were attacked by Resistance fighters. The prisoner, [[Snapper]], escaped, but Skavenger's team found themselves in a prolonged battle with the Resistance which lasted over a day. They retreated to the [[Sights & Sounds]] casino for defense. Meanwhile, one of their members—[[Buckethead]]—had formed an alliance with Snapper and a motley crew of other bots to deal with the alien threat of the [[Monster GoBot|Antares Eight]]. Buckethead and [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] of the Resistance eventually reached both sides and got them to join forces against the Renegade invaders.

At the trans-hyperwave caster the Renegades seized, Skavenger and the Constructicons joined Buckethead's "[[Ex-Bot (BW)|Ex-Bot]]s" in attacking the invaders. The Constructicons formed Devastator, fighting the Monster Renegade combiner [[Monsterous]]. After the fight, all Cybertronians retired to Sights & Sounds for a summit. The Ex-Bots ultimately convinced Skavenger and the Constructicons to leave the Builders and act as part of an independent faction to protect the innocents of Proximax and defend the city from the horrors of war. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}

A year later, the Ex-Bots prevented [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] from using a [[Robosmasher|Robo-Smasher]] to brainwash all the people of Proximax. They also recovered the Autobot-turned-Maximal [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] from his control. As the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]] began, the Ex-Bots chose to get involved with the other armies of the [[Proto-former|proto-races]]. Skavenger and the Constructicons salvaged a lobotomized [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]] and retrofitted and detailed it as the team's new [[Ex-Jet]].

On the march to [[Nova Cronum]], the Constructicons formed Devastator to wade through the hordes of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]s. At the [[Grand Mal]] itself, Devastator joined forces with the Maximal combiner [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]]. Their combined assault weakened the Grand Mal's force field enough for [[Lord Imperious Delirious]] to take note of them, and fire a massive optic ray at the combiners. Devastator pushed Magnaboss out of the way. Magnaboss lost an arm, a fifth of his gestalt mind, but Devastator suffered worse. Half his components were damaged beyond repair, and the Builder combiner was out for the rest of the fight.

Although the war was won, and peace finally came to Cybertron, the Constructicons were in mourning. With the death of [[Hightower (RID)|Hightower]], Long Haul, and Bone Crusher, Skavenger was the last survivor of the original team. {{storylink|Derailment}}

Time marched on. The Constructicons emerged as heroes of the Vehicon Apocalypse, and so it was decided to hold auditions to fill the gaps in their roster. [[Rubbish's Scrapyard]] in [[Hexima]] became the Constructicon training grounds as Skavenger, Buckethead, and [[Quickmix (G1)|Quickmix]] supervised the new potential recruits. Eventually, [[Wideload (G1)|Wideload]], [[Hauler|Road Hauler]], and [[Steam Hammer]] were chosen. Devastator, champion of the Builders, would live again! {{storylink|The Inexorable March}}

Driven by a manic urge to prove himself, Scavenger sees the recycle value of every bit of scrap or junk he comes across, and he'll move heaven and earth - or dig anywhere - to procure it.

Naturally, of what he gathers, very little is of real practical use, which does nothing for his self-esteem, but every now and then he comes up trumps with something of vital importance, which is why Megatron tolerates him. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Scavenger character bio}}

He combined to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] to destroy Autobots bases. He is very useful in his arm mode, seeing as it shoots out a GIANT LASER.

*'''Class:''' Special (Scout)
*'''Lowest Star Rating:''' 2 star (was 3 star)
*'''Weapons:''' Scavenger uses a "Stun gun" of the same make as [[Bumblebee (G1)|that short yellow runt]] and [[Rust Dust|that motorcycle chick]] which he uses to shoot and stun enemy defenses. And he can also usefully dodge Cannon and Mortar Fire.
*'''Ability: Artillery Support''' - Calls in an incendiary artillery strike and deals damage in a large area over 10 seconds. This is probably one of the few times Scavenger is ''actually'' useful!!

**''Team ID number:'' '''2'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''35'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Laser pistol]], "Target Shooter", Devastator's right fist, "Rotor Blade" projectile

:Scavenger was originally from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s [[Pre-Transformer]]s ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline, as Construction Vehicle Robot No. 2 Power Shovel. Transforming into a bright green and purple Komatsu PC200 excavator, Scavenger can become an "Attack Shovel" by attaching the "Target Shooter" projectile launcher (with the "Rotor Blade" loaded) onto the pegs on the right side of his green vehicle chassis. He can combine with his fellow Constructicons to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], functioning as the right arm. His "Target Shooter" becomes Devastator's lower right arm.

:On the European continent, Scavenger was initially released individually alongside the other Constructicons by Hasbro's subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] (MB) in 1985.<ref name="mbredtr">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous/mb_template.html "Milton Bradley and the red TF Tracks"] at TF-1.com.</ref><ref name="mbcollection">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/transformers/mb-transformers-collection/ "MB Transformers Collection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector.</ref> In 1986, Scavenger and the other Constructicons were re-released in Europe, albeit this time in "Hasbro"-branded packaging (but manufactured by [[Joustra]]). The main difference with all other releases thus far was that the Constructicons' main color was now ''yellow'' instead of green.<ref name="frenchcon">[http://tfsource.com/blog/french-connection/ "French Connection"] at the TF Source blog.</ref><ref name="europestrange">[http://tfsource.com/blog/europes-strangest-attractions/ "Europe's Strangest Attractions"] at the TF Scource blog.</ref><ref name="frenchconst">[http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vjap6.html "French TFs: G1 Yellow Constructicons"] at Fred's Workshop.</ref> These are ''not'' to be confused with the later, ''non''-combining yellow European Constructicons, nor with the yellow ''Generation 2'' Constructicons (see below for both).

:For the [[GiG]] Italian relase of ''Transformers'', "Braccio" and the other "Escavators" were sold in boxes very similar to the Takara packaging instead of on Hasbro-style cards. The boxes even sported the Takara ID numbers from "31" to "36", and omitted the "Hasbro" logo on the packaging in favor of a "Takara" logo.

Rumors are that an MB-branded Devastator giftset was also released in continental Europe, but thus far no packaged sample has surfaced.<ref name="mbcollection"/>

*'''Constructicon''' ([[1992]])
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol

:Another yellow European exclusive version of Scavenger, in colors very similar to the previous yellow European release. Not only did this version, just like the other Constructicons, come with no Devastator parts—this Scavenger had also been [[retool]]ed so he lacked the tab on his chest used to connect with Hook. This toy was also not officially named, as he came on a standardized card also used by the other Constructicons.

:There were two [[variant]]s of this Scavenger: The initial production run had his bucket arm cast in gray plastic (a color choice unique to this version), whereas the other one had a yellow bucket arm like the previous European yellow Scavenger.<ref name="eurovar">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/595256-1992-european-yellow-constructicons-variant.html "1992 European Yellow Constructicons Variant"] at TFW2005.</ref>

===Generation 2===
[[file:Scavenger_Generation_2_toy.gif|thumb|Now not only am I yellow, [[Hasbro|They]] still haven't gotten rid of this Butt Scoop.......]]
*'''Scavenger''' (Constructicon, [[1993]])
**''Team ID number:'' '''2'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol, "Target Shooter" missile launcher, Devastator's right fist, "Rotor Blade" missile

:[[Redeco]]s of all six Constructicons were released individually as part of the first assortments of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' products. The first—and seemingly more common—versions were yellow like the previous European release, but had some minor color, deco and tooling differences. In Scavenger's case, the purple plastic parts were slightly brighter, the shovel arm was yellow (like on the ''first'' European yellow version and the later variant of the 1992 version), his "Target Shooter" missile launcher was [[retool]]ed to remove the spring-loaded missile-launcher [[gimmick]], with both "missiles" similarly adjusted to be solid posts rather than notched, and—most importantly—he had the tab on his chest needed to combine with Hook and came with all the extra parts necessary to form Devastator again.

:A later and seemingly less common run changed the yellow plastics to rich orange. It has been rumored that this release was only available in [[KB Toys]] stores, but not verified.

*'''Scavenger''' (Micromaster, 2004)
**''Accessories'': Devastator head & rifle
{{note|The [[Scavenger (Universe Micromaster)|''Universe'' Scavenger]] toy was utilized as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of Skavenger.}}

:A [[redeco]] of [[Digger]], Scavenger transforms into a power shovel truck. He can form the right arm to any similar-construction Micromaster combiner robot, but his nominal position is as the arm of Constructicon Devastator. (He can be used as a left arm too, but since only the right fist to the [[Sixbuilder]] mold-set will work with him, he'd be backwards.)

:A [[KB Toys]] [[exclusive]], he and the other Micromaster Constructicons were also ultimately available from {{w|Sears, Roebuck and Company|Sears}} during [[Christmas]]time, and [[Kmart]]'s online store.

:The toy's connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Scavenger compatible with [[Powerlinx]] ports.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[The Transformers: Micromaster|Micromaster]]'' [[Scavenger (Micromaster)#Micromaster 2|Scavenger]].

[[File:Classics2006 Scavenger toy.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|"Now I'LL be queen of summertime! I mean king! KING!"]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Multi-pack, [[2007]])

:Scavenger is one of the toys included in this gift pack, a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Steamhammer (Energon)|Steamhammer]]. He 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 he has a [[spark crystal]] within the shovel.

:He forms the central body component of Devastator this time, with the combiner's head being located inside his cabin, and the rest of his team plugging into combiner [[Powerlinx]] ports located in his arms and legs.

:Scary, huh?

:Just like his ''Super Link'' and ''Energon'' predecessors, Scavenger suffers from a slight [[misassembly]]: The small tabs on the sides of his treads are supposed to peg into the holes in the black 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. Hasbro's official [[stock photography]] depicts the treads correctly assembled.

*'''Devastor''' (reissue giftset, [[2011]])
**''ID number:'' '''20'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol, Devastator's right fist, "target shooter" projectile launcher, "rotor blade" projectile.

:Scavenger was reissued in a giftset with his Constructicon teammates as part of [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line. Although apparently cast from a newly created mold, given the presence of a Tomy copyright stamp rather than the original Hasbro/Takara one, Scavenger features no appreciable differences from his original figure, aside from a slightly smaller knob on the rear of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]].

*'''Devastor''' (reissue giftset, [[2013]])
**''ID number:'' '''20A'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser pistol, Devastator's right fist, "target shooter" projectile launcher, "rotor blade" projectile.

:Scavenger was ''again'' reissued in a giftset in 2013 as part of [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line, this time in a more 'anime accurate' color scheme. In addition to the mold changes of the 2011 version, Scavenger is also a slightly different color and features more cartoon-accurate paint applications on his face. His projectile launcher / Devastator's lower arm is colored black, instead of purple.

:''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Constructicon Scavenger is an all-new Voyager-sized figure that forms Titan Class Devastator's right arm. His head is based on his character model more than his original toy. He is packaged with the other Constructicons in a massive box. This Devastator currently holds the record of being the tallest Combiner toy released to date.

:A redeco of the above Scavenger figure also available as part of a gift set, featuring extensive [[paint operation]]s and [[vacuum metallizing|Vacuum metallized]] purple parts. The packaging of this set is designed to evoke both Bonecrusher's shovel and Devastator's head, and its interior is designed to resemble the title image of Devastator on his wiki page.

:In the U.S., this set (also referred to as "Devastator Special Edition" in a Hasbro press release) was exclusive to the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website and the Hasbro Toy Shop booth at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2015.

:Takara's Scavenger, included in the ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' Devastor set, has some deco changes to better match the G1 cartoon. He now includes his original weapon. In addition, his knees were also [[retool]]ed. Instead of them being on ball joints, they are now on a swivel joint connected to a mushroom peg, providing better articulation.

:The original Devastator toy was once again available, this time in the [[Walmart]] exclusive ''[[Vintage G1]]'' series. All of the toys inside were cast in a slightly yellower shade of bright green than prior releases, and were given a new style of [[rubsign]] used on all of the ''Vintage G1'' toys; the insignia only turns red rather than the mood-ring multicolor of older rubsigns, plus the silver border is mirror-level reflective.

: Each individual toy in the set has a number of smaller differences from previous versions as well. In Scavenger's case, some of his sculpted details are less sharp and deep than on his previous releases. The spring in his Devastator chunk/missile launcher has also been removed.

===Decoy===
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (Decoy multi-pack, 1985)

:This small purple rubber figurine of Scavenger was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Scavenger's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for.

*'''Scavenger''' ([[1987]])
**''Decoy number:'' '''43'''

:The Scavenger figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number. Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Naturally, this red figurine is much rarer.

==Notes==
*The [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] [[production bible|series bible]] features two descriptions of Scavenger, one typed with the name "Scavenger" and one with "'''Scrounge'''". Oddly, "Scavenger" is the one that's crossed out by hand and relabeled "Scrounge". This would make it onscreen once, when Scrapper referred to him as "Scrounge" in their introductory episode. Writer [[Bob Budiansky]] would apparently later reuse the name for the comic-only character [[Scrounge (G1)|Scrounge]].
*Scavenger's [[character model|animation model]] gives him Hook's pistol. Hook's animation model uses a different take on Hook's pistol, so Scavenger's gun design seems to go unused. Scavenger doesn't mind though; his pistol kills in [[Prowl (G1)|ONE SHOT.]]
*On the subject of the animated movie, Don Messick, who did the voice for both Scavenger and the Autobot Gears, was credited for the wrong character in the movie. Gears did appear near the beginning of the film sitting next to Ironhide on Moon Base I, but Gears himself did not speak, yet Messick was still credited for voicing the character. However, Scavenger DOES have a line in the movie, when he encounters Daniel on the Planet of Junk. Yet, he was not credited as Scavenger.

Breakdown (WFC)

2020-05-17T20:22:59Z

LV: /* Cyberverse */ Berserker doesn't have a gun.

{{faction|decepticon|unicron|primestunticon}}
{{disambig3|Breakdown}}
:''Breakdown is a [[Decepticon]], and sometimes [[Stunticon (Prime)|Stunticon]], from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:PrimeBreakdown-HowToDraw.jpg|thumb|upright=1.95|He ain't nobody's leg any more.]]

Despite a level of skill to match any Decepticon warrior's, '''Breakdown''' is almost crippled by a persistent paranoia, especially when he is in crowds. He is much happier working alone, away from the eyes he is sure are watching him at every moment. That said, he is quick to come at [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s call, as his fear of his powerful leader may be the only thing outreaching his agoraphobic tendencies.<ref>[[How to Draw Transformers Prime]] Breakdown bio</ref>

After spending most of his time on Cybertron in a smaller form, the scout later upgraded to a bulkier, more threatening body following a clash with [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]], a clash which initiated a heated rivalry between the two.<ref>[[Arms Micron]] War Breakdown's tech spec bio</ref> Breakdown has brought that rivalry to present-day Earth, where he assists [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] in his various misdeeds. The two have become good friends in their long partnership, and seem to value each other as much as any pair of friends could.

Since joining the war on Earth, Breakdown has proven to have some quite intriguing depths to his character, besides his deep friendship with Knock Out. He doesn't treat the cannon fodder [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] as such, and even chats to them about romance and is sure to thank them for their hard work. He also has a healthy dose of respect for his foes, as well as gratitude. However, these noble traits are tempered by his boisterous temper; always eager to join a fight or pound some dents into someone, even on his best days.

In one reality, Breakdown combines with [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] to form [[Grand Galvatron]].

===Cartoon continuity===
====IDW ''Prime'' comic====
[[File:BreakdownPrime.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.85|His self-esteem ruined by his small size, Breakdown resorted to steroid use.]]
Breakdown was on [[Earth]] when he received [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]'s signal. He found the air commander buried under rubble by [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|a little Autobot]], whom he promptly pummeled. [[Arcee (WFC)|An even smaller, blue Autobot]] shot at Breakdown, which pleased him, because it meant he was going to kill two Autobots today. At Starscream's insistence, Breakdown got him out of the rubble, and they began chasing and shooting at the Autobots. Breakdown finally cornered them and overwhelmed them with his missile launcher. As they lay dying and Starscream was about to finish them, [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] got the jump on him and shot Breakdown into the face of a mountainside, causing him to flee to fight another day. {{storylink|Transformers: Prime (graphic novel)|Transformers: Prime}}

====''Prime'' cartoon====

Breakdown had a long history with the Autobot known as [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]], {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}} to the point one would call them "archenemies". During their rivalry, Breakdown caused Bulkhead great pains. {{Storylink|Operation: Breakdown}}

[[File:DeusExMachina-Breakdowntruck.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"Shiny. Let's be bad guys."]]
When Starscream requested that [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and Breakdown come to the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'', Breakdown was much too busy trying to track down an [[energon]] trace. He reached an excavation site in [[Greece]], where he encountered an old friend—Bulkhead—and spotted a depiction of an [[Energon Harvester]] on an ancient fresco. After breaking the fresco with Bulkhead's head, Breakdown proceeded to the ''Nemesis'', where [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] located the device in a museum. As the Autobots had surrounded said museum, Knock Out and Breakdown drew them around to the front for a fight, where Breakdown caused [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and Arcee to collide with each other and sent Bulkhead flying into Knock Out. This distraction allowed Soundwave to sneak in the back and steal the Harvester. The Harvester was successfully obtained, and Breakdown and Knock Out accompanied Starscream to the energy vein in Greece to test it out. When Bulkhead turned up there to stop them, the two Decepticons attacked him but came off decidedly second-best, as Bulkhead managed to make Breakdown hit Knock Out by accident which allowed Bulkhead to steal Knock Out's [[Energon prod]] and use it to shock Breakdown into submission. They fled once the Harvester was destroyed and the other Autobots turned up. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}

[[File:SpeedMetal-BBvsBreakdown.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|If you're going to give him as a [[A Gift For Megatron|present to Megatron]], [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2#quotes|be sure to wrap him up and put a little bow on him.]]]]

Breakdown was buffing Megatron's <s>corpse</s> body when Starscream asked him where Knock Out was. Knock Out, it turned out, had been street racing with the humans again. Some time later, Knock Out radio'd Breakdown to let him know there was another street race on. Much later still, Knock Out contacted him with the news that Bumblebee' human friend had been captured. Breakdown joined the other 'Con in setting a trap for the Autobots in a storage facility. Once Bumblebee and Bulkhead turned up, Breakdown ambushed them. He was able to hold his own against the two Autobots until Knock Out announced he was bugging out, and the distraction resulted in Breakdown being knocked into a wall by Bulkhead. Returning to the ''Nemesis'', Breakdown bore silent witness to Starscream's "cosmetic punishment" of Knock Out. {{storylink|Speed Metal}}

[[File:OutHead-BulkheadBreakdown.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Foefist!]]
During a Decepticon plan to melt a glacier to find some energon, Breakdown was hanging around on the hull of the ship when Bulkhead and Arcee appeared nearby. On Knock Out's order, he jumped from the ship and started fighting the two Autobots, unaware that it was a diversion while Optimus Prime scaled a nearby cliff face. He was still fighting them when Optimus caused the heat ray atop the ship to explode and was sent flying by the blast wave. {{storylink|Out of His Head}}

While out scouting an energon source, Breakdown took the opportunity to ambush Bulkhead. Though the Autobot fought back vigorously, Breakdown overcame him and was about to deliver the killing blow when he was zapped by an energy beam from a nearby helicopter. He came around to find himself a captive of the [[human]] organization [[MECH]], the leader of which, [[Silas]], informed him that they wanted to take him apart for his technology. Breakdown was defiant, but the MECH technicians disabled his pain receptors and began dismantling him, including removing his right eye. He was stunned when he was rescued not by the Decepticons, but by Bulkhead. The pair emerged from the rail tunnel to face the main MECH force, and when Silas's helicopter again fired its energy weapon, the 'Con knocked Bulkhead out of the way. After Starscream arrived and chased MECH off, he demanded Breakdown destroy Bulkhead. Breakdown was initially reluctant, but Starscream talked him into it. Though Bulkhead bested Breakdown and used his body to bash the Vehicons, Breakdown was still able to retreat, and Starscream later told him to remember the rescue when the time came to choose between Megatron's leadership and Starscream's. {{Storylink|Operation: Breakdown}}

[[File:TFP ep18 BD optic patch.jpg‎|thumb|left|upright=1.4|[[Major Bludd]] knows how you feel, Breakdown.]]
Breakdown took to wearing an eye-patch as a reminder of his failure. When Soundwave detected a magnetic signature, Breakdown saw the chance to redeem himself and insisted on being the one to retrieve the [[polarity gauntlet]]. Once there, however, he found himself under attack by [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]], who also coveted the device and made a failed attempt to trap him underground. The two fought over it until Arcee and Bulkhead arrived and joined in the party. Breakdown was able to use the gauntlet to magnetically stick the two Autobots together, but while he was on his way back to the ''Nemesis'', Airachnid ambushed him and webbed him to a derelict gas station. He was freed when the Autobots turned up and the gauntlet was triggered, yanking him off the wall. At one point during the following battle, he got hold of the weapon and used it to hit Bulkhead with an oil derrick. After some more fighting, Airachnid tried to make a getaway with the gauntlet and Bulkhead threw her at Breakdown. Breakdown was forced to return to the ship without the gauntlet, but made up for it by presenting Megatron with Airachnid, who had become stuck to his back. {{storylink|Metal Attraction}}

Knock Out and Breakdown were sent with some Vehicons to secure a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]], which the Autobots were also after. Breakdown not only got to fight, but got to be on the winning side for a change. Unfortunately when they got back to the ''Nemesis'', they discovered that the cylinder's contents had already been discharged. After Megatron went to try and find Bulkhead, whose noggin held the data, Knock Out detected where Bulkhead was hiding out, and thus he and Breakdown went to the monster truck track. Bulkhead went and hid in the car park, so the two Decepticons started searching in their own ways—in Breakdown's case, smashing random vehicles. They eventually found Bulkhead, but the cylinder data was lost in the process. The pair were ready to take out some revenge until the arrival of more Autobots forced them to retreat. {{storylink|T.M.I.}}

The pair teamed up again to transport energon around. Though Breakdown was keen to GroundBridge out of there when the Autobots turned up, Knock Out reminded him that they were under orders to lead the Autobots on a chase so the foe would deplete their energon reserves. When Ratchet turned up and bashed their Vehicon escort around, Breakdown was ready to take on the newcomer, but he and Knock Out had to leave after the other Autobots attacked them. Some time later, Breakdown was chatting to a [[Decepticon Miner|miner]] when Ratchet entered the cavern. The rematch was short lived as Ratchet overpowered Breakdown. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}

Breakdown and Knock Out watched Soundwave and Airachnid dispute over whether Megatron would return from a visit with [[Unicron]]. When Megatron came back to the ship, Breakdown was on the bridge to greet him, though the others had to restrain him when he saw that Megatron was being accompanied by Optimus Prime whom Megatron addressed as "Orion Pax". {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}

The Decepticons, including Breakdown and Knock Out, hit a military base and managed to get away with the energy source they needed for their new [[space bridge]], though they did accidentally let Arcee get on board the ship. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}} Breakdown attempted to contact the Vehicons at the space bridge and, though he had trouble getting through at first, was told [[William Fowler|everything was fine]]. When asked how ''he'' was doing, Breakdown replied with surprising kindness and sincerity, responding that he was fine, acknowledging the Vehicons' thankless job and encouraging them to keep up the good work. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}}

[[File:OperationBumblebee2 Breakdown Knockout find Forge.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|STOP! Pick up the Hammer Time!]]
Sent with Knock Out to retrieve a hidden Cybertronian treasure, Breakdown was no doubt pleased to run into Bulkhead again. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} After their previous success, Breakdown and Knock Out went to secure the [[Forge of Solus Prime]]. Breakdown again found himself fighting Bulkhead, but during a moments distraction, Bulkhead hit him with the Forge. After Megatron secured the Forge, Breakdown retreated through the GroundBridge. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}

[[File:Crossfire MECH finds Breakdown.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"We have a crime scene here."]]
Breakdown was assigned to accompany [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]] and Airachnid on a mission, the purpose of which was to get rid of Airachnid. Breakdown's quick temper proved their undoing, as Airachnid goaded him into attacking her. After spending a short amount of time trying to unstick the webbing from his face, Breakdown pursued her, leaving Dreadwing webbed to a tree. Though he caught up with Airachnid, it proved to be a trap, and she swiftly dismantled him. A short time later, a MECH team discovered him in pieces. They elected to bring the remains back to base. {{storylink|Crossfire}}

After [[Silas]] was badly crushed, the [[MECH Surgeon]] intended to use Breakdown's body to revive him. {{storylink|Nemesis Prime (episode)|Nemesis Prime}}

Knock Out would continue to hunt Iacon relics in Breakdown's memory, {{storylink|Tunnel Vision}} though he missed Breakdown's buffing. {{storylink|Hurt}}

[[File:Thirst-restinpeace.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|He's dead?! He's supposed to be a llama!!]]
While Breakdown was offline, MECH worked to rebuild and partially repair his body. Eventually, his body was reactivated and integrated with the remains of their leader, producing what Silas declared a "Cybernetic Life Augmented by Symbiosis", or "Cylas". This had the side-effect of bringing Breakdown's life signals back online, though they appeared corrupted to the Decepticon sensors. Cylas made good use of Breakdown's body, at least until he failed Megatron and was consigned to Knock Out's dissection table. {{storylink|The Human Factor}}

Cylas had become Knock Out's guinea pig for virtually any test he could think of. Knock Out had no qualm about experimenting even further on Breakdown's corpse, believing that his deceased partner would approve of the situation's irony. Cylas became a new form of [[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcon]] who fed on a host's Energon, and the ensuing plague ravaged the Decepticons' ranks and numbers. Cylas was finally killed when he freed Airachnid, who left Breakdown's inactive body a lifeless and, ahem, empty husk once more. {{storylink|Thirst}}

====Titan ''Prime'' comic====
Breakdown and [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] took over a TV studio which was filming ''[[Down and Out]]'', and modified the course into a death trap which they then invited [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] to take part in. To ensure they complied, they put the show's crew and audience into a box suspended over a pit of spikes, and Breakdown held on to [[Chuck Chuckles]]'s unconscious form as extra insurance. Unfortunately for the pair, the death trap was less than deadly, and the two Autobots had brought [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], who shot the floor out from under the two Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.14|It's a Knock-Out}}

Breakdown was a member of the [[Stunticon (Prime)|Stunticons]] alongside [[Wildrider (Prime)|Wildrider]]. {{storylink|Wildrider (Prime)#Prime|Stunt Wildrider}}

=====''Unite Warriors''/''Legends''=====
[[File:BreakdownNewBody-GrandGalvatronChapter.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.7|...wait, never mind.]]
Breakdown managed to survive his repeated deaths and wandered Earth as a malicious zombie. The undead Decepticon's sheer malice attracted the attention of [[Unicron]], {{storylink|#Unite Warriors 2|''Unite Warriors'' bio}} who would summon Breakdown, among others, to his universe to convince [[Galvatron II|Galvatron]] to combine with them in lieu of using Unicron for his new "[[Grand Galvatron]]" body. Breakdown was resurrected in a new combiner body as "Zombie War Breakdown", and he could serve as a limb to Grand Galvatron. The assembled combiner team was ordered by Unicron to conquer [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] so that the planet would become Unicron's new body. Galvatron, not much for obeying anybody, ignored the order and set out to conquer in his own name as Grand Galvatron. {{storylink|Grand Galvatron Chapter}} While Breakdown was loyal to his new master, he sought to return to his universe and reunite with his partner. {{storylink|#Unite Warriors 2|''Unite Warriors'' bio}}

[[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], the main component of Grand Galvatron, had the group undergo training by exposing them to the lava pools of [[Thrull]], which Breakdown actually found enjoyable. {{storylink|Unite Warriors Offshot#Special Training in the Lava Baths of Planet Thrull!|Special Training in the Lava Baths of Planet Thrull!}}

Grand Galvatron attacked Cybertron only to be separated into his components by [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]. As the team continued the battle on foot, Breakdown was shocked to run into Knock Out on the battlefield and tearfully embraced him, unaware that his partner was merely a hologram projected by [[Hound (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hound]] as a distraction. After realizing his mistake, he rejoined the others and combined back into Grand Galvatron to fight [[Sky Reign]]. {{storylink|Sky Reign Chapter}} When the battle was interrupted by [[Megaempress]], Grand Galvatron's limbs detached and fled out of fear, but Breakdown and Roller were cornered by [[Flowspade]] and forced to transform into giant fist weapons for her to wield. {{storylink|Megatronia Chapter}} Then Unicron showed up to conquer Cybertron himself, prompting the team to reform Grand Galvatron and participate in the battle with the Chaos-Bringer. After the battle was won, Breakdown was able to return to his home universe through a dimensional rift and was happily reunited with Knock Out. {{storylink|Ruination Chapter, Part Two}}

Knock Out later showed Breakdown the schematics to the [[Apex Hunter Armor]]. {{Storylink|Transformers Legends Final Chapter "Epiloge"|Epiloge}}

[[File:Breakdown-WfC.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"I always feel like somebody's watching meeeeee!"]]
Breakdown joined [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] and [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] in the invasion of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], attacking the [[Stellar Galleries]] behind the [[Autobot]]'s front lines in order to acquire the [[Omega Key]]. When it turned out [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]] had moved it, Megatron lead them on a run-and-gun mission through the city to the [[Vaults]] itself. Breakdown seemed most comfortable during their time in the train tunnels, even challenging Soundwave to a race. However, when Megatron told him in a paternalistic voice to "try not to get crushed by the trains", Breakdown was confused, wondering aloud if his leader had made a joke. After utilizing [[Dark Energon]] bombers to blast their way into the Vaults, the squad came up against Zeta Prime himself. He was utilizing a vast machine that rendered him unassailable, allowed him to control portions of the ceiling so they dropped to crush anyone in the room, and generated an arbitrary number of energon clones bearing his likeness that battled savagely in melee combat. Soundwave's interest in the clones caused Breakdown to deride him as a total nerdlinger, but he didn't have any words of mockery when Soundwave discerned the machine's weakness: a core that rapidly overheated and so had to open up to cool off. Even in defeat, however, Zeta Prime had put one over on the Decepticons, as they took from him not the Omega Key, but the device that activated it. And the Key was cranky about being woken up from its nap.

Though he had shot another soldier for daring to contradict him verbally, Megatron probably realized Breakdown's last-ditch maneuver to avoid crashing into [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] against Megatron's orders had saved all their lives, and so did not summarily execute him. Nor was Breakdown shot for his constant whining during the team's cat-and-mouse chase with Omega Supreme through the upper spires of Iacon towards a platform studded with some anti-air guns, which would hopefully give them a chance to fight back against the robot of unusual size. They managed to crack open Omega's armor with the emplacements, causing him to crash, but the behemoth remained on his feet—literally, as he transformed to robot mode to continue the fight. Breakdown continually expressed amazement and frustration at the seeming unstoppability of Omega Supreme, but Megatron's confidence was proven justified, as they sabotaged the means by which the giant had been repairing himself, apparently bringing him down. Seemingly unable to believe it despite having participated in the fight, Breakdown could only note, "Uh... all hail Megatron!" Yet even then, Omega Supreme was not defeated, badly damaged though he was. At that point, however, he was unable to continue repairing himself and his armor was badly damaged, allowing concentrated fire to finally overwhelm him.

Breakdown remained at Megatron's side as he tamed Omega Supreme, gaining access to Cybertron's core and infecting it with Dark Energon. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

When Megatron and his Decepticons destroyed a dam they had been using, Breakdown confronted them. Breakdown declared if Megatron could prove to be tougher than he was, then he'd join the Decepticons.

: Part of the second wave of Series-2 Legion-class [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]], Breakdown transforms into an armored car as per usual. He comes with a large triangular-barreled cannon based on his roof-mounted vehicle mode cannon, which has multiple 3mm posts and holes so it can be combined with other weapons and vehicles. As he is a Legion class toy of a bulky, broad-shouldered character, he is really, really, really short even compared to other Legions, let alone his rival [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Cyberverse|Commander-class Bulkhead]].

:"Zombie War Breakdown" is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Offroad#Generations|Decepticon Offroad]], transforming into a 4x4 double-cab pickup truck. He includes a [[5 mm post|5 mm handle]] axe weapon (which can form a side-mounted exhaust pipe for truck mode), and a larger accessory that can form a hand or foot for his limb modes or a gun for robot mode, and can also be mounted on a tab in the vehicle mode's truck bed to form a giant engine block.

:As a Deluxe-sized ''Unite Warriors'' figure, Breakdown can form a limb for any ''Combiner Wars''-style Combiner, or become one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs, although he is nominally part of [[Grand Galvatron#Toys|Grand Galvatron]]. While the front hood/windshields are needed to be folded as kneecaps for his leg mode, the piece also has a tendency to dislodge if he collides to Optimus Prime/Motormaster's and Hot Spot's protruding foot while the legs are being swiveled in his standing position, unless the leg joints are bent down to lessen the problem. Thankfully, He does not have this problem with his normal combiner team.

==Notes==
[[File:VectorSigmaBotBuilderBreakdown.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Hammer this [[Superman]]!]]
*Breakdown's model is usable in ''War for Cybertron'' multiplayer as the Racer-type chassis for [[Scout (WFC)|Scout]]-class characters. His parts are also available in ''Fall of Cybertron'', now classified as Saboteur-type components for the [[Infiltrator (FOC)|Infiltrator]] class (although his wheels can also be used by [[Destroyer (FOC)|Destroyers]]).
*While Breakdown's bulky design is largely dissimilar from [[Breakdown (G1)|his G1 counterpart]], his red face and yellow eyes are directly lifted from his G1 toy, which had similarly colored features.
*Promotional blurbs for the episode "[[Deus ex Machina]]" mentioned that [[Lugnut (WFC)|Lugnut]] would be in the episode. Given that Breakdown acts as a rival for Bulkhead in the finished episode—which [[Lugnut (Animated)|''Animated'' Lugnut]] was played up as for [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] in the original ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Animated]]'' [[Cartoon Network]] promotional material—the fandom concluded that Breakdown was meant to be Lugnut at some point in the episode's production. The Hub's [[Mike Vogel]] challenged this notion at [[BotCon 2011]], claiming that Lugnut had been Knock Out's original name, which had been changed because "Lugnut" wasn't "sexy" enough for the character. The ''Prime'' Season 1 Blu-ray commentary, however, corroborated the original theory: Breakdown's place in the show was originally intended to belong to Lugnut, since a loyal Decepticon bruiser was desired, but the show creators wanted a land-based Decepticon instead.
*Breakdown's [[license plate]] in "[[Deus ex Machina]]" is DGOT 441.
*Despite trying to kill [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]], Breakdown has admitted to having a strange infatuation with her. [[Crossfire|That didn't last]].
*Breakdown's body parts were available to use in the Hub website's [[Vector Sigma Bot Builder]] online game. Normally, you cannot configure a generic 'bot using all Breakdown parts, but you can see what one would look like at right through the magic of Photoshop. While all the characters in the game are hue-shifted from their normal coloration, Breakdown ended up noticeably less-different than his peers, essentially just having a different face color.
*The bio for the Japanese "War Breakdown" release explicitly ties together his ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|War For Cybertron]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' appearances, explaining that he had his physical form upgraded in order to better face Bulkhead.

===Arms Up Modes===
In the Japanese ''Prime'' toyline, Breakdown has named powered-up modes when given various [[Arms Micron]]s in certain configurations:

*'''War Mode''' (ウォーモード ''Wō Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': Jida, Noji, Zamu
: Breakdown's box-back Arms Up mode is just him using the [[Big Scissor]] weapon. Yep! Despite all his other link-points, it's just him using a hand-held weapon. ''Imaginative''.

Later, as Devastator smashed away at the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] after shrugging off Skids and Mudflap, Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to fire upon the giant Decepticon. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S.

:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' "Constructicon Overload" is an all-new mold that transforms from an articulated dump truck into a robot mode based on different concept art from his Legend or comic renditions (see below).

:Although sold at Leader-class price-point, he is roughly as tall as his Voyager-sized teammates, making up for it with with massive secondary arms (rivaling Mixmaster in width) and a removable screen-accurate neck armor piece for Devastator's head mode, though it snaps around Mixmaster rather loosely. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting [[Operation: Firestorm]].

:Overload can be combined with the rest of the ''Studio Series'' [[Constructicon (ROTF)#Generations|Constructicons]] to form [[Devastator (ROTF)#Generations|Devastator]], becoming the giant's chest, lower torso, thighs and waist, though the transformation leaves the back of his head exposed in combined mode, right in the middle of Devastator's stomach.

:CG renders depict Overload in a beet red and cool-grey as opposed to the brick red and warmer grey of the final product. He also comes mistransformed to fit in the box, with his shoulders being angled downwards at the joint that serves as Devastator's hips.

Overload (ROTF)

:''Overload is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Overload-RiseoftheDecepticons.jpg|right|thumb|300px|This may be the only time you ever see me in robot mode!]]

'''Overload''' transforms into a red modified Caterpillar 776 articulated dump truck. Sometimes, he combines with his fellow [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] to form [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]'s lower waist. And no, he's not [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]].

==Fiction==

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===
[[Image:Constructicons-ROTFcanyon.jpg|left|thumb|350px|He looks pretty big until you notice [[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]].]]
During the climactic battle in [[Egypt]] between the Autobots, their human allies and [[The Fallen]]'s Decepticons, Overload arrived in a quarry with the other Constructicons before merging into Devastator to attack former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. Later, as Devastator smashed away at the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] after shrugging off Skids and Mudflap, Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to fire upon the giant Decepticon. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[rail gun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Overload’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel "[[The Last Prime]]"; the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]"; and the storybook "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]."}}

===IDW comics===
Overload's body type was one of the early "construction drones" used to build [[Star Harvester]]s. One of the Overloads joined [[the Fallen]]'s original Decepticons. He tried to battle the turncoat [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] and was quickly taken out. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}

:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' "Constructicon Overload" is an all-new mold that transforms from an articulated dump truck into a robot mode based on the same [[:File:Rotf-overload-wip-two-legs.jpg|piece of concept art]] as his Legends toy and IDW design, while also resembling the design created by Ben Procter (see below).

:Although sold at Leader-class price-point, he is roughly as tall as his Voyager-sized teammates, making up for it with with massive secondary arms (rivaling Mixmaster in width) and a removable screen-accurate neck armor piece for Devastator's head mode, though it snaps around Mixmaster rather loosely. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting [[Operation: Firestorm]].

:Overload can be combined with the rest of the ''Studio Series'' [[Constructicon (ROTF)#Generations|Constructicons]] to form [[Devastator (ROTF)#Generations|Devastator]], becoming the giant's chest, lower torso, thighs and waist, though the transformation leaves the back of his head exposed in combined mode, right in the middle of Devastator's stomach.

:CG renders depict Overload in a beet red and cool-grey as opposed to the brick red and warmer grey of the final product. He also comes mistransformed to fit in the box, with his shoulders being angled downwards at the joint that serves as Devastator's hips.

Quad Barrel Shotgun

2020-04-28T00:05:43Z

LV: Adjustments to toy description

[[File:TLK-Quad-Barrel-Shotgun.jpg|thumb|350px|[[Reggie Bannister]]'s lawyers just called.]]
Used in the most dire of circumstances, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] can use the '''Quad Barrel Shotgun''' (クアッドバレルショットガン ''Kuaddo Bareru Shottogan'') to mow down his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|foes]] with relative ease.

==Fiction==
===''The Last Knight'' film===
When [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Nemesis Prime]] attacked [[Cade Yeager]], [[Vivian Wembley]], and the [[Transformers Reaction Force|TRF]] aboard the [[Guardian Knights' ship]] and stole [[Staff of Merlin|Quintessa's staff]]. Immediately after, [[Santos]] opened fire on the brainwashed Prime, leading Nemesis to return fire with his Quad Barrel Shotgun. After a brief, one-sided standoff, Nemesis stormed away, daring anyone present to challenge him.

Soon after, during his fight with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], Nemesis used the shotgun to hold Bumblebee at bay, before dropping it on the hull of the Guardian Knights' ship. It is unknown if the weapon was lost following the skirmish or if Optimus reclaimed it before leading the attack on [[Quintessa (TLK)|Quintessa's]] [[Ignition chamber|ignition chamber]].
{{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

==Toys==
===Generations===
[[File:Studio-Series-promotional-Quad-Barrel-Shotgun.jpg|thumb|350px]]
*'''Quad Barrel Shotgun''' (Promotional item, [[2018]]-[[April 21|04-21]])
:Released ''just'' before the Japanese debut of ''[[Studio Series]]'', the Quad Barrel Shotgun is a redeco of one of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Generations|Age of Extinction: Generations]]'' [[Hound (Movie)#Generations|Hound's]], utilizing the color scheme in the film. It was given away for free by [[TakaraTomy]] if 4000 yen of ''Transformers'' products were bought from select stores starting on [[April 21]] while supplies lasted. Despite starting long after the toyline was over, Takara's website characterized it as a promotion for ''The Last Knight''.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
*Optimus's shotgun in the film seems to use a retextured CG model for one of [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]]'s shotguns. Similar to the aforementioned toy, the weapon's on-screen appearance has a red and blue flame aesthetic keeping in line with Optimus's paint job.

Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)

2020-04-28T00:00:12Z

LV: /* TakaraTomy toylines */ Crazy late, but marked as a TLK promotion

{{Nav-tlk}}

The '''''Transformers: The Last Knight''''' toyline coincides with the [[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|fifth film]] in [[Michael Bay]]'s [[live-action film series]].

The toyline follows the same basis as the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|previous film]]'s layout, with the majority of figures falling into two sublines:
*Turbo Changers, which encompasses most of the simple-to-transform toys aimed towards younger children.
*Premier Edition, encompassing the "traditional" Deluxe, Voyager and Leader pricepoints, for older children and adult fans.

Along with the standard ''The Last Knight'' toys, Takara also released a toyline called '''''Movie The Best''''' to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of the live action film series.

==Toys==
===Turbo Changers===
====[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]====
Tiny transforming figures based on characters from the entire [[live-action film series]], packaged in blind bags. The reverse of the bags feature both a small clear window on the lower right and an embossed letter on the lower left, allowing easy identification of which figure you're getting.

====1-Step Turbo Changers====
A slightly different name for prior lines' One-Step Changers, with several molds reused from the ''Age of Extinction'' line. All of the figures feature flame deco printed in UV-reactive invisible ink, which can be revealed with the UV "Cyberfire" light in the large Mega 1-Step Turbo Changer [[Dragonstorm]] figure. Despite appearing as prefixes in several online retailers' listings for the [[wave]] 1 figures, the term "Cyberfire" doesn't actually appear as a gimmick call-out on the toys' packaging until wave 3, including packaging [[variant]]s for additional shipments of figures that debuted in earlier waves.

Broadly similar to the Three-Step Changers of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'', these larger figures feature a unified "Knight Armor" gimmick with spring-loaded deployable helmets.

===Premier Edition===
The ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]''-type figures for ''The Last Knight'' are collected under the ''Premier Edition'' banner, explicitly marketed to the adult collector as well as older children. As part of this approach, Deluxe figures are packaged in window boxes, akin to Hasbro's other collector-oriented lines ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Legends'' and ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]: The Black Series''.

Several molds for all size classes are reused from the ''Age of Extinction'' line.

===Exclusives===
Similar to ''Age of Extinction'' before it, ''The Last Knight'' had different "themes" assigned to different chains in the United States, this time with each of them being turned into its own decicated [[subline imprint]] complete with their own logos and unique packaging designs. And then a lot of these figures were also offered to different retailers in other international markets.

In theory, that is. The execution differed drastically in some instances, with some toys only being available online, and others ending up in different venues than originally intended. In more than one instance, international releases were easier to find than the "main" US release, despite receiving little to no advertising.

====Mission to Cybertron====
A Cybertron-themed exclusive [[subline imprint|subline]], with figure decoes featuring [[Cyberglyphics]] writing and cards that form a bigger picture of Megatron and Optimus fighting on Cybertron, with Cyberglyphics on the back. ''Mission to Cybertron'' was the only subline imprint that proceeded more or less as planned, being officially made available as [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusives in the United States, Canada, Australia and Hasbro's Asian markets. For the Christmas 2017 season, the figures were also made available at Toys"R"Us stores in European markets such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Spain.

====Autobots Unite====
An exclusive subline primarily themed around [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Hot Rod]], and to a lesser extent his partnership with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Originally, these figures were solicited as [[Walmart]] exclusives, but thus far, only the Flip & Change figures have actually been found in stores, while Legion and Deluxe Class Hot Rod, the 1-Step 2-pack and the Legion 2-packs have only been available via Walmart's website. Instead, the latter three have been found at discounter Ross.

Other international venues include: General retail in (at least some of) Hasbro's Asian markets, Walmart in Canada, Asda in the United Kingdom, Dráčik in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, Walmart and its subsidiary Bodega Aurrera in Mexico, Prisma supermarkets in Finland, Líder supermarkets in Chile, Tottus in Peru and ICA Hemma in Sweden. In the Netherlands, Deluxe Hot Rod was available at Otto Simon and its subsidiary Top1Toys, while the 2-packs were available from Bart Smit and Intertoys (both owned by Blokker Holding). In June 2018 the legion class figures began appearing in B&M Bargains stores and the Flip & Change figures in Home Bargains stores in the UK.

And to make matters even more confusing, general retail versions of both Legion and Deluxe Hot Rod in standard, non-"Autobots Unite" packaging were listed by several US-based online retailers, including Walmart, with the Deluxe figure eventually being released in China.

====Reveal the Shield====
An exclusive subline with a unified gimmick of "hidden image" decoes, revealed by using clear red plastic weapons as filters in the manner of the original [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Tech Spec]]s. Unlike "Mission to Cybertron" and "Autobots Unite", "Reveal the Shield" was never officially announced by Hasbro, but early information via Asian sources indicated the subline would be exclusive to [[Target]] stores in the United States, which is where the Tiny Turbo Changer 3-pack and the 1-Step Turbo Changer 6-pack actually ended up. Voyager Class Optimus Prime, meanwhile, ended up as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in the United States instead, and even lacks the "Reveal the Shield" logo from the packaging for his US, Asian and Latin American release.

In the United Kingdom, the entire subline was exclusive to [[Argos]] stores, including Voyager Class Optimus Prime (complete with the "Reveal the Shield" logo on his packaging) and the role-play masks; in France, it was exclusive to Carrefour (again including the role-play masks); and in Australia, the 1-Step Turbo Changer 6-pack was exclusive to BigW stores. The 3-pack was also released in Hong Kong and Peru, the 6-pack was released in Chile, and Voyager Optimus Prime was available in several Asian markets and at Falabella stores in Colombia.

==Notes==
*A [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Notes|well]]-[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Notes|known]] [[Titans Return (toyline)#Notes|problem]] occurred again: Various retailers around the world keep listing some of the price points under older working names. Since not all of the price points explicitly identify their respective assortment names on the toys' packaging, this once again resulted in some confusion as to what exactly the price points and gimmicks' correct, final, official names are:
**The "Knight Armor Turbo Changers" are also referred to as "Armor Up Turbo Changers" by some retailers around the world, even though all [[multilingual packaging]] [[variant]]s call out the "Knight Armor" gimmick in several languages (even spelled "Armo'''u'''r" for the United Kingdom) in addition to the general sub-line name "Turbo Changer".
**On a similar note, some retailers' listings for the 1-Step Turbo Changers also give the individual figures' names "Cyberfire" prefixes, referring to the gimmick mentioned above, although that prefix doesn't appear anywhere on the packaging. It ''does'' finally appear (in the form of a separate logo) on the packaging for the third wave of 1-Step Turbo Changers.
*Similar to the previous film's toy line, Hasbro assigned code names to the toys, which were used by online retailers around the world, sometimes even after official photos depicting the toys in their packaging had been added to those listings, and sometimes even persisting long after the toys had been released at retail. Whereas the ''Age of Extinction'' line had used names related to the [[W:Rocky (film series)|''Rocky'' film series]] as code names for the various characters, ''The Last Knight'' has two known sets of code names:
**One of them (presumably the earlier one) simply numbers all figures from the various general retail assortments in sequence, ranging from "TRA 1" (Knight Armor Turbo Changer Optimus Prime) up to at least "TRA 28" (Deluxe Class Dinobot Slash), although the corresponding code names for some of the later figures are currently unknown so it's likely the numbers go even higher than that.
**The other set (presumably the later one) assigns each character a name derived from a celestial body (in a very broad meaning of the term), with three characters even being assigned two different names each, depending on whether the toy was a new sculpt or redecoed from a previous line:
{{collist|3|
:::*Barricade: "Mars"
:::*Berserker: "Gamma Ray" / "Green Gamma Ray"
:::*Bumblebee (new sculpt): "Saturn"
:::*Bumblebee (redeco): "Gas Giant"
:::*Cogman: "Zodiac"
:::*Crosshairs: "Gravity"
:::*Dragonstorm: "Extra Terrestrial"
*Drift: "Nova"
*Grimlock (new sculpt): "Moon"
*Grimlock (redeco): "Lunar Eclipse"
*Hot Rod: "Saturn Rings"
*Hound: "Super Nova" / "Supernova"
*Megatron: "Pluto"
*Nitro: "Gamma Beam Grey"
*Optimus Prime (new sculpt): "Jupiter"
*Optimus Prime (redeco): "Four Moons"
*Scorn: "Sun"
*Slash: "Shooting Star"
*Slug: "Hot Gas"
*Sqweeks: "Earth"
*Steelbane: "Comet"

LV: /* Promotional campaigns */ This was a TLK promo, not Studio Series

[[File:Studio Series logo.png|center|425px]]
[[File:StudioSeries-01-MV1-Deluxe-Bumblebee-w backdrop.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|From L'Oreal]]
First revealed at New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], '''''Studio Series''''', underneath the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' banner, acts as a celebration of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented. It also coincided with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', the sixth film in the [[live-action film series]].

Each toy is numbered, with an indication of their movie of origin. All figures also come with a cardboard backdrop depicting a notable scene from their respective movie. Backdrops from separate figures representing the same scene are designed to be displayed side-by-side.

With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same [[size class]]; Deluxe #18 Bumblebee is shorter than Deluxe Jazz and #01 Bumblebee, who are in turn shorter than Deluxe Ratchet and Lockdown.

===Multi-packs and exclusives===
[[File:Studio-Series-MVBB-Rebekah's-Garage-15-Bumblebee-with-Charlie.jpg|thumb|300px|Bumblebee multipack]]
These are even more complicated than usual, and that's ''before'' international releases come into play. Thundercracker was originally released as a worldwide [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive, but due to the bankruptcy of Toys"R"Us in several countries, he only had a very short availability window in those markets. and was never added to the Toys"R"Us online store before the latter ceased operations. Likewise, the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack was originally intended as a Toys"R"Us exclusive but ultimately was only released that way in Canada, which still ''had'' Toys"R"Us by the time it came out. In the United States, both Thundercracker and the 2-pack were eventually made available through numerous online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]], Entertainment Earth, ToyWiz, and TFSource, although the 2-pack was also inexplicably found at a single [[Target]] store several months earlier.

The Bumblebee Then & Now 2-pack was exclusive to Target in the United States and to Kmart in Australia; the Bumblebee Vol. 1 Retro Rock Garage set debuted at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018 and was later also made available via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] (and additionally was also available at general retail in Taiwan and was offered at Comic-Con Paris 2018); and both the Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway set and the Drift/Baby Dinobots set appear to be "online exclusives" shared between the same online retailers that also offered Thundercracker and the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack, although both were initially claimed to be exclusive to Entertainment Earth. We say "appear" because the Retro Pop Highway set was ''also'' available at GameStop stores in the United States, ''and'' both sets are ''also'' listed in Diamond Comic Distributors' ''Previews'' catalog, so really the only "exclusivity" for these appears to be that neither of them is available from Walmart or Target. Battle Damaged Megatron was first found stocked by Hong Kong shops, and much later, was put up for pre-order on Toys"R"Us' Canadian website, and then on Target's US website before being found in stores.

==Studio Series (TakaraTomy)==
Similar to ''Power of the Primes'', in Takara's ''Studio Series'' (スタジオシリーズ) line, all figures are identical to their Hasbro counterparts, forgoing Takara's past practice of using more movie-accurate paint jobs. This is most likely due to the line being an official collaboration between Hasbro and [[TakaraTomy]], much like the ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece#Masterpiece Movie Series|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' line. ID numbering differs after number 8 compared to the Hasbro release, since some of the exclusives are not released in Japan. Starting with wave 4, the packages feature the franchise's 35th anniversary logo.

==Notes==
*''Studio Series'' can be considered a "sister series" to Hasbro's ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]: The Black Series'' and ''Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years'', which are based around a similar concept and feature a similar overall packaging design.
*In July 2017, photos of a computer screen taken during an internal Hasbro presentation were leaked to the public that revealed, among other things, the very ''existence'' of the ''Studio Series'' general retail line-up, though not the actual title "Studio Series" yet (which was later revealed through separate leaks). The fact that the slides incorrectly featured projected release dates for "2017" instead of 2018 (which included dates ''predating'' the leak) led some fans to assume that the still unannounced line-up had long since been canceled. it wouldn't be until several leaks later that Hasbro ''finally'' acknowledged the existence of the ''Studio Series'' line, and revealed the first few [[wave]]s during New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], even offering a limited quantity of the first wave of Deluxe Class figures as an early release through the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website. Simultaneously, [[TakaraTomy]] revealed their version of the line at [[Wonder Festival]] Winter 2018.
*Among the figures whose existence was revealed through the aforementioned July 2017 leak that were ''not'' officially unveiled at Toy Fair was Voyager Class Ironhide, who made his worldwide debut at retail in Singapore in June of 2018. Subsequently, Hasbro announced the redeco of Voyager Class Starscream (based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''), the final figure revealed through the July 2017 leak, via their "[[Hasbro Pulse]]" Instagram account a few days before [[San Diego Comic-Con]], even though they ''still'' hadn't officially acknowledged the existence of Ironhide by that point.
* Like with previous movie-based lines, ''Studio Series'' also assigned code names to at least some of its characters. This time, the "theme" for those code names was "Australian race horses":
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Stryker"
:::*Dropkick: "Blue Lightning" or "Blue Light"
:::*Megatron: "Fox"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Radar"
:::*KSI Sentry: "Sentry"
:::*Shadow Raider: "Mercenary"
:::*Shatter: "Red Lightning" or "Red Light"
}}
:The code names of many of the other figures, assuming they even ''had'' code names, are still unknown, as those toys have (thus far) consistently been listed under their actual characters' names. Meanwhile, a listing for a supposed Voyager Class figure using the code name "Destroyer" later turned out to be a mislabeled Energon Igniters Speed Series [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Barricade]] from the [[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|''Bumblebee'' movie toy line]], with which the ''Studio Series'' shares its code names.

[[File:Battlegrounds1 Bronko Kowalski.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
'''Bronco Kowalski''', AKA the "Poughkeepsie Piledriver", is a football player.

==Fiction==
===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
Bronco's helmet found its way to [[Denny Clay]]'s [[Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist|scrapyard]]. When [[Russell Clay|Russell]] wanted to go play at the football field, Denny provided him with the helmet. [[Hank]] commented that it looked like something Bronco Kowalski would wear, and Russell confirmed it had previously been owned by Kowalski. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RID)|More than Meets the Eye}}

Hank gave Russell a spare Bronco Kowalski trading card her dad possessed. [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] later used a hologram to fool Russell into thinking Hank had returned to reclaim the card, in order to get him to shut down the scrapyard's security system. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}}

===IDW ''Robots in Disguise'' comic===
After fumbling a catch, Hank complained that she wasn't living up to the standards set by Bronco Kowalski. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 5|Robots in Disguise #5}}

During the climactic battle in [[Egypt]] between the Autobots, their human allies and [[The Fallen]]'s Decepticons, Overload arrived in a quarry with the other Constructicons before merging into Devastator to attack former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. Later, as Devastator smashed away at the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] after shrugging off Skids and Mudflap, Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to fire upon the giant Decepticon. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S.

Shockwave (G1)/toys

2020-03-31T15:00:29Z

LV: /* Combiner Wars */ I don't know what that note was intended to point out, but he definitely does not have a "chrome yellow" chest or hand

{{suite}}

[[File:G1 boxart Shockwave.jpg|upright=1.8|thumb|All these toys are my fault...for being awesome!]]

'''Shockwave''' has many toys, so logic dictates that they should receive a page. Logic also dictates that they should be awesome.

==Toys==
===The Transformers===
[[File:G1Shockwave toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|You can try to play Duck Hunt with him all day long, but it just doesn't work.]]
*'''Shockwave''' (Decepticon, 1985)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''49'''
**''Accessories'': "Magnetic impulse defuser" barrel

: Shockwave was one of the very first 1985 toys to see release, if not ''the'' first. Shockwave transforms into a large Cybertronian handgun, and features light and sound electronics powered by a 9-volt battery. Pulling his trigger activates a flashing light in his gun arm and one of two (fairly generic) blaster-sound frequencies, which are toggled between by a small switch on his backpack; in gun mode, the light winds up in his barrel. As a robot, he has a large, if not the most, amount of articulation for the era. Officially, his [[die-cast]] feet are rotated into his legs in gun mode, but if you wish to display him free-standing, leaving the feet out (as shown in the picture to the right) balances the figure and keeps him from tipping forward from the weight of his arms and barrel.

: The large Decepticon [[insignia]] on his chest has a thin purple outline tracing just beyond the margins of the symbol itself, a decorative feature unique in the entire history of the [[Transformers brand|brand]].

: Shockwave was initially sold without a rub sign; one was later added to the side of his torso.

:Shockwave is one of the most oft-broken G1 toys, owing to a mixture of weak plastics clashing against die-cast metal, overpowered springs and ratchets shearing themselves apart, and outdated electronics corroding into uselessness. The rubber hose covering the wires connecting his torso and arm's electronics is particularly prone to dry-rotting. Be careful!

:The Shockwave mold was licensed from the [[South Korea|Korean]] toy company [[ToyCo]].

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/1985/Decepticon/Shockwave/shockwave.htm More information on Shockwave at TFU.info]''

{{-}}{{anchor|ActionMaster}}
[[File:ActionMaster Shockwave.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Small and deadly.]]
* '''Shockwave with Fistfight''' (Action Master, 1990)
** ''Accessories'': Double-barreled "Turbo Rifle"

: As an [[Action Master]], Shockwave is a non-transforming action figure who combines elements of his cartoon model and original toy, with a few more details. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. Part of the third assortment of individually-carded Action Master figures, He came with his small robot [[Action Master partner|partner]] [[Fistfight (G1)|Fistfight]], who combines with Shockwave's handgun to form a "Lightning Gun" cannon.

: An early [[prototype]] of the figure depicted in both the 1990 Hasbro [[catalog]] leaflet included with the figures and a more elaborate catalog that was available in Germany seems to be an entirely different sculpt with slightly different proportions and detailing, including a right hand is sculpted in an open position, and on top of that also featured different colors, with a darker, more saturated shade of purple, the arm cannon and chest colored blue instead of orange, and Fistfight with his black and purple colors swapped. Additionally, there are reports of an early "test market" release that supposedly included a rubber hose that connects from his gun-arm to his back, like the original toy. There are holes in the toy's gun-arm and backpack; the black hoses included with many old ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' toys can fit in these holes.

===Alternators/Binaltech===
[[File:AlternatorsShockblast toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Guns akimbo.]]
*'''Shockblast''' (Alternator, 2004)
**''Alternator ID number:'' '''12'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[April 4]], [[2005]]'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-13'''
**''Accessories'': Muffler-blaster

: The ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' version of Shockwave is [[retool]] of "[[Jazz (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Meister]]" from the same line. Named "Shockblast" for [[trademark]] reasons, his [[alternate mode]] is a licensed, 1:24 [[scale]] {{w|Mazda RX-8}}, changing Meister's standard street model into a Mazdaspeed-modified version with new front and rear fenders, doors, side skirts and a spoiler (the Japanese ''Binaltech'' version, Laserwave, is specifically marketed as a "Mazdaspeed Version II"). He features [[rubber tires]], opening doors, hood and trunk, a detailed interior including seats and a dashboard complete with steering wheel, and a working "steering" mechanism (which is not connected to the steering wheel, though). In robot mode, his muffler unfolds to become a hand-held blaster; it can also be arm-mounted thanks to the holes near the robot's elbow joints compatible with the muffler's vehicle-mode mounting peg. Shockblast also features a new head sculpt with a single eye that is illuminated using some very effective [[light-piping]], and an arm cannon made out of clear plastic that replaces his left hand. Undocumented in the instructions is a tab on the underside of each foot that can be positioned to make the figure more stable in certain poses.

: Takara's ''Binaltech'' Laserwave has quite a number of small but significant changes from the ''Alternators'' version. As usual with ''Binaltech'' releases, his car shell is partially constructed of [[die-cast]] metal rather than all-plastic, as well as having all the car body parts (including those made out of plastic) covered in a metal-flake paint. His passenger compartment has a hard-plastic steering wheel on the right-hand side of the car (as they are in Japan). He has [[Vacuum metallizing|vac-metal]] side-mirrors and "LWAVE" on his license plate (rather than Shockblast's "SHKWAV"). The "steering" mechanism uses a magnet assembly to connect the steering axle to the front wheels instead of the ''Alternators'' version's plastic insertion point. Plus it comes with a bonus large Decepticon [[insignia]] [[sticker]] that can be applied to a real car.

: Shockblast was later re-released as part of a Europe-only wave of ''Alternators'' toys in the same packaging style as the second North American ''Alternators'' assortment, the latter of which Shockblast was ''not'' re-released in. Despite Hasbro re-claiming the "Shockwave" name by then, this re-release still calls him "Shockblast".

: The original Meister version of the sculpt was also released in a ''Binaltech''-only red version ([[repurposing|repurposed]] into "[[Zoom-Zoom]]" by the [[Story of Binaltech|official ''Binaltech'' fiction]]) and was later retooled into ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' [[Autorooper]]. The Mazdaspeed car parts, but with Meister's original head sculpt and left hand, were later used to make the ''Binaltech''-only [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Argent|Argent Meister]].

**''Set number'': '''30688'''
**''Pieces'': '''310'''
**''Kreons'': [[Megatron (Kre-O)#Kre-O|Megatron]], Shockwave, [[Specialist]], [[Police officer]]
**''Accessories'': Gun hand

:Available in the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Kre-O|Megatron]] ''[[Kre-O]]'' kit, Shockwave is a one-eyed purple [[Kreon]] with a gun for a left hand. Interestingly, Kreon Shockwave's chest is orange, like [[#ActionMaster|Action Master Shockwave]], while the lines in the orange section harken to [[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|''Energon'']] [[Shockblast]]'s chest design.

*'''Kreon Class of 1984''' (Kreon figure set, 2014)
**''Set number'': '''B0090'''
**''Voted'': Best Optics
**''Accessories'': Flask

: This version of Shockwave has much more detailed, original-toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior version, plus his wrist-blaster is now clear-purple plastic. You can also replace the blaster with his clear-purple flask, which gives him a more "accurate" smaller blaster-hand.

: He was only available in a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the "[[Kreon Class of 1984]]". Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there ''was'' no remaining stock after the show.

: His inclusion in the set is somewhat more justified than other 85~86 characters who appear in it, as while the original Shockwave toy was released in 1985, the character made an early debut in 1984 in both comics and cartoon.

: (Also... voted "Best Optics"? Wow, guys, ''cruel''.)

*'''Shockwave''' (Battle Changer, 2015)

:Released as part of the second wave of Battle Changers, Shockwave is a massively built-up Kreon that transforms from robot to Cybertronic tank and back without removing any parts! The robot mode is based on that of Generation 1 Shockwave while the vehicle mode is based on that of [[Shockwave (WFC)|''Prime'' Shockwave]].

: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.

*'''Shockwave''' (Deluxe Class, 2012)
**''Series/number'': '''01 / #003'''
**''Accessories:'' Two-piece laser cannon
{{note|''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Shockwave (WFC)#Generations|Shockwave]] was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as ''Generation 1'' Shockwave in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comics.}}

: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Shockwave transforms into a "Cybertronian mobile artillery" mode. The front center fuselage of the vehicle becomes a [[5 mm post|hand-held]] "laser cannon" that's modeled after the [[Sling Shock#Generations|Sling Shock]]. It can be stored on a 5mm port on his back, and undocumented in his [[instructions]], can replace his hands by folding either one of them in, revealing a socket on his wrist that a tab underneath his cannon can mount to. As another undocumented feature, the cannon actually consists of two pieces, with a large y-shaped barrel that can be removed, revealing the sculpted ends of a triple-barreled gun. The y-shaped barrel part can also be stored on Shockwave's back, forming some sort of [[jet pack|jet-pack]] exhaust.

:Shockwave features two examples of [[Kibble#faux-parts|faux-parts]]: The undersides of his heels resemble the front end of the y-shaped barrel part, effectively serving as an extension of the barrel in vehicle mode, whereas a fake replica of the top end of his head (including his signature "ear" panels) is sculpted on the top side of his vehicle mode (which ends up on the underside of his backpack in robot mode).

:The figure has a "dramatic reveal" feature, where pressing the chest into place causes the head to pop up. The clasp used to hold the spring-loaded piece in place is fairly strong, and requires a small amount of force to latch if the head isn't pressed down before moving the chest assembly. Depending on the individual quality of the figure, this can cause the latch to wear out, and the spring is strong enough that the head will push the whole assembly out of place in vehicle mode if not properly retracted. As such, care should be taken on this step of conversion.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed/retooled into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Fireflight (FOC)#Generations|Air Raid]] and [[BotCon 2014]] [[Brimstone (G1 Star Seeker)#Timelines|Brimstone]].

====Combiner Wars====
[[File:CWLegendsShockwave.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|Shockwave regains his firearms license.]]
*'''Decepticon Shockwave''' (Legends Class, 2016)

:Part of the fifth wave of the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Legends Class figures, "Decepticon Shockwave" is an all new mold that transforms into a "cannon" that resembles his original laser gun mode! Homaging a scene from "[[The Revenge of Bruticus]]", a 5mm peg folds down from the bottom of the cannon to form a gun mode which ''Combiner Wars'' [[Bruticus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Bruticus]] (or any other ''Combiner Wars''-style Combiner mode fist, or even his [[#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' figure]]) can wield, though a molded gun handle a few millimeters ahead of the 5mm peg makes the connection incompatible with many figures. Shockwave's weight unfortunately prevents most figures from being able to actually hold up without bringing said figure's arm or entire body down, even the combiners made specifically to hold him. The 5mm peg/gun handle combo also plugs into either the back of Bruticus or on top of [[Onslaught (G1)#Combiner Wars|Onslaught]]'s vehicle mode, though the open space for Bruticus's head makes the latter attachment somewhat unstable. Shockwave only features a 5mm-compatible right hand.

:Shockwave also comes with a collector card based on his packaging art.

:This mold was later redecoed/retooled as [[BotCon 2016]] [[Reflector (G1)#Combiner Wars|Reflector]] and [[Flash Sentry#Toys|Flash Sentry]] and served as the model for the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Movor#Beast Wars: Uprising|Movor]].

====Cyber Series====
[[File:Cyber-Battalion-Shockwave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Decepticon Shockwave''' (Cyber Battalion, 2018)
:Released in the third wave of the ''[[Transformers: Generations#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]'' Cyber Battalion figures, Shockwave transforms into a spaceship in a few easy steps. Unlike most figures in the Cyber Series, Shockwave is not based on any existing ''Transformers'' mold and has unique engineering. Additionally, he features a 5 mm-compatible fist and a well-articulated upper body, but lacks bicep swivels and knee articulation. His vehicle mode is loosely based on his original blaster mode but also takes some design cues from the [[#Fall of Cybertron|''Fall of Cybertron'']] and [[#Construct-Bots|''Construct-Bots'']] Shockwaves.

:In vehicle mode, the upper body does not connect solidly anywhere resulting in parts moving out of place in copies with loose hinge joints. This is somewhat harder to correct than many figures due to how small the joint is and how it is recessed into the chest. His plastic is also cast in two different shades of purple, which contrast strongly against one another.

:Amusingly, considering how easily he transforms between modes, his alt-mode is mistransformed in the stock photo. The robot mode Shockwave head rotates to an altered head in a different shade of purple for the vehicle mode.

:Debuting in Asian markets, this figure was later sold in the United States at Walgreens stores.

====War for Cybertron: Siege====
[[File:WFCS-Leader-Shockwave.jpg|thumb|A forewarned Shockwave is four-armed Shockwave.|300px]]
*'''Shockwave''' (Leader Class, [[2018]])
**''ID number'': '''WFC-S14'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SG-14'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 30]], [[2019]]'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "LV Duo-Pulse Radiographs," 2 "LV Gamma-Disruptor Launchers," backpack

:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Leader Class figures, Shockwave is a heavily G1-inspired Voyager-sized robot that can assume a small Leader-sized super robot mode with ''four arms'' by combining with armor consisting of two shoulder pads, two platform boot pieces, and a backpack. These pieces are compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], and can be placed in many configurations on his body, but there are only two official ones. Shockwave features multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons (such as his cannon arm now called the "LV-1 Thermal Range Neuron Beam") to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. Although promotional images of the figure depict the waist, upper arms, shoulder joints, and the backs of Shockwave’s calves as a more vibrant violet, the retail version has these molded in the deep indigo as the rest of the figure. Like other figures in the same line, Shockwave features "battle damage" paint. Unlike the others however, the only paint applied to the primary figure is found on his feet, while a great deal has been applied to the armor pieces instead. The figure also features two [[light-piping]] effects, one for the eye in robot mode and another for the bridge in spaceship mode.

:Shockwave himself transforms into a spaceship resembling [[Sixshot#Generations|an upside-down laser gun]]. His armor pieces can also combine with this mode, augmenting it into a Cybertronian destroyer not entirely dissimilar to the ''[[Revenge (G1)|Revenge]]''. The armor pieces can combine to form a hovercraft the figure can stand on as well. The platform boot pieces are nominally attached under Shockwave's feet to give him a height boost, but they can also attach to the sides of his legs to give him [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|leg-mounted guns]], as seen in the picture at right, which also has a different positioning for the shoulder cannons. This configuration is only in a few TakaraTomy stock photos, and along with the hovercraft, isn't featured in the instructions.

:Caution should be taken with the rubber hose on the figure, as it's very prone to stress and breaking, especially at the plug connection point. This seems to be due to it being slightly too short, causing a great deal of tension on the point where it attaches to Shockwave's body when he's in spaceship mode or has his arm extended. The plug itself and the corresponding "correct" ports on his forearm and bridge tower seem to be slightly larger than standard 5mm posts, suggesting the size difference may be intentional to deter connecting the hose in a way that would lead to damage. However, the difference isn't enough to fully prevent the peg being pushed in with a small amount of force. This has the added effect of making some of his ports too loose to hold accessories properly while others may be slightly too tight.

:Branded as a ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Selects|Generations Selects]]'' release, ''Siege'' "Galactic Man Shockwave" is a redeco of the Leader Class figure above, homaging the colors of [[:File:ToyCoAstroMagnum.jpg|RadioShack's "Galactic Man" toy]], down to the "Galactic Man" name across the upper chest. The accessories use black as opposed to the dark grey of the main figure. Unlike the retail figure, Galactic Man Shockwave lacks battle-damage paint.

:It is ''incredibly'' likely that the "RS" in his weapons' names is a reference to Radio Shack. Like, how could it not be?

:''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' Shockwave is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class [[Whirl (G1)#Generations|Whirl]], transforming into a helicopter. As a [[Triple Changer]] he has a third Gerwalk-esque walking helicopter mode, called only an "alternate mode" to differentiate it from his "vehicle mode", plus an official "Shockblast" cannon mode created by fiddling around with the toy. He has a pair of mechanical pincers which his "Astro Magnum" weapon can be fitted over and all four of his "Blast Arms" weapons can attach via c-clips to various sculpted rods. Due to the weapons being molded in translucent purple plastic, the c-clips tend to be more prominent to stress marks. Shockwave was sold exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]] and came with the comic "[[TFC-D03]]".

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-29'''
**''Accessories:'' Left and right fists, translucent right fist, gun barrel (opaque and translucent), saluting right hand (opaque and translucent), "Laser Vulcan", stand, die-cast Megatron Gun accessory (Asia reissue)

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' "Destron Laserwave" is a painstakingly cartoon-accurate and toy-accurate figure, transforming into a large Cybertronian handgun and scaling with the rest of the Masterpiece line (since [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-9]]), standing slightly taller than the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 seeker mold]] and slightly shorter than [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Masterpiece 2|MP-13 Soundwave]]. Though this figure's light purple coloration was controversial in some parts of the [[fandom]], it is based directly off Shockwave's original [[character model|animation model]].

:Similarly to [[#Generation 1|his original toy]], Laserwave has two separate electronic light gimmicks (but no sounds!). Two LR44 batteries power the light in his left arm, which is activated by clicking a button on his forearm and causes his arm cannon to glow with purple light, pulsing in and out eight times after a single push. 2 AAA batteries power the light in the gun barrel, activated by—what else?—pulling his trigger; toggling a small switch on his abdomen determines if the gun barrel LED remains illuminated for as long as the trigger is held, or if it will automatically pulse in and out ten times. His eye lights up using [[light-piping]] from a large panel in the back of his head.

:He includes a left fist that can be swapped out for his arm cannon, to replicate his two-handed appearance from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", and an open "saluting" hand that can be swapped for his right fist based on the same scene from the same episode. Additionally, he includes translucent versions of his arm cannon and both right hands to match his original toy's appearance. The barrel of his gun mode ends up on his back in robot mode, in contrast to his original toy, for which it was attached as a separate piece (something that was also true for the cartoon, in which it usually flew in from off-screen when he transformed). To cover this change, he comes with a stand for his gun mode that folds up into a show-accurate backpack and clips over the barrel.

:He comes with a mini version of himself in gun mode which he can wield (called a "Laser Vulcan" in the instructions), as seen in the episode "[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1]]", and a sticker sheet allowing him to have either classic Decepticon logos or cartoon-styled ones (with smaller eyes and a three-pointed central crest).

:In Asian countries outside of Japan, he comes with a [[collector coin]]. The coin package is shaped after Shockwave's chest on the outside with the inside part being decorated after his target scope, and refers to the character as Destron Laserwave (a deviation from the other collector coins, which always used the western names even for characters who have different names in Japan). In Asia, the figure was later reissued and came with a die-cast Megatron Gun accessory.

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' "Defense Officer Laserwave" is a [[redeco]] of MP-29 sporting a much darker shade of purple that's more in line with both the [[#Generation 1|G1 toy]] and most of his animated appearances. It was [[exclusive]] to [[TakaraTomy Mall]].

:He features a new head sculpt with slightly different details and proportions from the earlier Masterpiece, most obvious in his eye now being smaller and a less greenish shade. The hose on his small gun accessory is now made of plastic instead of fabric.

:His forearms now feature tampographed G1-cartoon styled Decepticon symbols, rather than the [[Sticker|decal]] options of the original ''Masterpiece'' figure. In addition, some of his dark purple is actually painted, as is the silver on the barrel of his gun mode. This means special care must be taken to avoid scratching the paint when clipping the backpack around the gun barrel in robot mode.

:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Shockwave is a another redeco of his [[#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' Legends Class figure]], transforming from robot to 5 mm-compatible cannon and now featuring a deco closely based on the Generation 1 cartoon (although his show-accurate purple is a slightly brighter hue). He is packaged with [[Cancer (Masterforce)#Legends|Cancer]], a redeco of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Squeezeplay (G1)#Generations|Crashbash]]. As a ''Combiner Wars'' mold, Shockwave is not actually designed to interact with [[Titan Master]] figures, though Takara stock photographs and the instructions suggest rearranging his arms in cannon mode to form an awkward seat for Cancer.

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

==Notes==
[[File:ToyCoAstroMagnum.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|"Shackwave"? '''"Shackwave"?!''' RADIOWAVE, [[fandom|you]] idiots!]]
* Although Shockwave was depicted in the very first episode of the original cartoon series, he did not receive a toy release until early in 1985. Unlike the bulk of early Transformers that drew their molds from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' and ''[[Micro Change|Microchange]]'' toys, Shockwave's original form was first produced by [[ToyCo]] as the "[http://soundwavesoblivion.blogspot.com/2015/05/shockwave-toyco-variants-part-1.html 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]". As such, similar non-Transformer toys using the same mold were released in 1985, including a [[RadioShack]] exclusive called "Galactic Man". A minor but amusing difference between the RadioShack version, humorously called "Shackwave" by fans, and the [[Hasbro]] version, is that Shockwave's inconveniently placed trigger was remolded and appears less... inconvenient.
** A 1985 Hasbro briefing binder gives Shockwave's toy the name "Spark Man," which probably was a name attached to the toy, considering its similarity to Radio Shack's "Galactic Man," rather than being an early name for the Hasbro character.<ref>http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/ron-friedman-auction-hasbro-briefing_15.html</ref> He still hadn't settled into his finalized name at the time the script for "[[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|More than Meets the Eye]]" was written; in it, he is referred to as '''Flash Beam'''.<ref>http://boltax.blogspot.com/2011/02/ron-friedman-auctions-scripts-part-3-of.html</ref>
** Shockwave was released by ToyCo in Korea in the 1980s at the same time Hasbro released him elsewhere. The only difference between the Korean version and the Hasbro release is a large "ToyCo" sticker on the front of the box.
** The name "4 Changeable" refers to the fact that the toy was advertised as having four modes. Before you get excited, though, those other two modes are "Vulcan Base" (the gun mode with the legs separated and feet folded out) and "Gunborg" (gun mode, arms separated and splayed a bit, feet folded out). There's a reason you never noticed them before.
* The Astro Magnum mold also appears to have been licensed to a small company called Village Toys in the 1980s, where it showed up in their [http://counter-x.net/footnotes/convert-a-bots/index.html Convert-A-Bots] line under the name "N-4-SR" (..."Enforcer", get it?). There are at least two variants; one was dark grey, with purple highlights,<ref name="n4sr1">[http://plasticcrack.net/archives/2009/04/convert-a-bot_shockwave_that_is_not_shockwave Convert-A-Bots N-4-SR, variant 1]</ref> the other pale green, also with purple highlights.<ref name="n4sr2">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1NVirID3fc Convert-A-Bots N-4-SR, variant 2]</ref>
[[File:Starbrigade.jpg|125px|thumb|Product and colors (and franchise) may vary.]]
* Shockwave bears the rather strange distinction of receiving a number of particularly high quality [[knockoff]]s, all of which known retain the electronics and some even having odd {{w|Flash Gordon}}-esque [[retool]]s.
* A silhouette of Action Master Shockwave's card art appears on the back of the 1993 ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] [[Star Brigade]]'' action figure cardbacks... as [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]]!

'''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]''' is the star of a [[Live-action film series|multibillion-dollar film franchise]], and as such has an ungodly amount of toys and memorabilia!

Seriously, he's probably got more than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] by now.

He is one of two characters (the other being [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]]) to have at least one toy in every size class.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''
:Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the [[robot mode]] very well and has very limited articulation, detail and paint applications. Due to his simplified transformation, his hands are exposed on the vehicle bumper, and due to how the arms are molded, the headlights make the robot mode appear to be wielding a pair of guns. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over it.

:The toy was also released in two different ways in Japan: the Hasbro version was initially released as a giveaway for the customers who purchased the Movie toys worth 3000 yen in the Transformers First Impact 0602 event held in Ikebukuro Toys "R" Us store at June 2 in midnight, with the package completely unchanged with the exception of the sticker covering the back to identify that this was a giveaway. The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy's subsidiary Subarudo.

:He was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[2007]]-[[June 2|06-02]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles
:The first Deluxe Class version of Movie Bumblebee transforms into a yellow {{w|Second-generation Chevrolet Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro}} with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the Movie toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

:Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers (inspired by the shoulder-mounted missile launchers he uses to fight Brawl/Devastator in the movie), which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] during transformation.

:The initial release of the toy featured even tabs for the Automorph gimmick; oddly, Hasbro later decided to [[retool]] the feature so the tab would be uneven.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29613 Original Allspark thread about the retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref> This resulted in many reported cases of the tab snapping during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him and you'll be transforming his front car hood manually. The retooled Automorph gimmick would be used for all subsequent versions of the mold, including a small number of Japanese releases, and the breakage problem wouldn't be fixed until the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack and the Target exclusive "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack.

:Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed Automorph gimmick. The original Hasbro mold (complete with opaque windows) also saw release in Japan 10 years later, as part of an Amazon Japan exclusive 3-pack (see below).

:Both the prototype figures and the latest stock photos had the chest slightly mistransformed, the headlights can be pulled down while in robot mode. It should be noted that the extra yellow paint apps seen on the prototype's legs are not present in the final product, probably due to budget cuts or unpaintable plastic. The "battle damage" paint app seen on the left side of the car roof varies among different copies of the toy: some have the faded paint (which affects its symmetry on the roof) and some have a faded, half dot on the front of the car roof.

:The packaging used for the Japanese toy is the same as for the Hasbro version, with the exception of additional stickers identifying it as a Japanese market release.

*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Deluxe two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles
:This battle pack contains the 1976 Camaro Deluxe Class Bumblebee and the Deluxe Class [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Barricade]]/[[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but the toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

:The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Movie (toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles
:A redeco of the Japanese version of the Classic Camaro Bumblebee sculpt, Bumblebee Limited Metallic Color Version (バンブルビー限定メタリックカラー Ver., ''Bumblebee Gentei Metallic Color Ver.'') was exclusively available with the purchase of a ticket for the movie in Japanese Lawson stores. It retained the clear blue windows and missiles of the standard Japanese release, but it is unclear if this release used the uneven Automorph gimmick from the second run. Unlike most of his Classic Camaro mold mates, this Bumblebee is practically spotless.

*'''Towed to Safety''' (Deluxe two-pack, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles
:This set features an unaltered Deluxe Class [[Longarm (Movie)#TowedToSafety|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe Class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] (basically the same packaging inner tray from the "Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter" pack). As is generally the case with the European releases of the Movie toys, the pictures on the front of the box show the robot mode toys instead of an artist's depiction of their faces.

:For this two-pack, Hasbro slightly retooled Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick again, adding another small tab that finally resolved the breakage issues that had plagued the previous variation of the mold.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38149 Allspark thread about the second retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref>

:This pack has only been confirmed to have been released in the United Kingdom.

[[File:Movie Deluxe 2009 Bumblebee toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Nu-uh! You don't want none of this!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese Name'': '''New Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[2007]]-[[August 9|08-09]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Plasma cannon]]
:The second Deluxe Class Bumblebee toy, which shares no parts with the previous one (even the head, despite being based on the same general design, is a different sculpt), transforms into the {{w|Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro}}. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

:Bumblebee features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures.

:Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands. Depending on how tight the shoulder ball joints are, posing his arms can be troublesome as they're jointed with the front wheel/car doors/wings. If the converting Plasma Cannon is removed from his vehicle form, the spring-loaded windows may become slightly dislodged unless you press both sides of the vehicle rear to counter this.

:Depending on the individual quality control, his pair of yellow shoulder panels tend to pop off occasionally. Care should be taken while transforming the front clear window piece: At least one of the protruding panels can snap off if not done carefully.

:Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design. His robot mode stock photo is mistransformed; the chest hood blocks can be flipped up for better accuracy. This mistransformation is common to all of his redecoes/retools below.

:A running change version of this sculpt adds sculpted pupils to Bumblebee's eyes. A ''second'' running change adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] hold together better.<ref name="conceptvariant">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]</ref> Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the sculpt.

:This sculpt was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon
:A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive "battle damaged" 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee. Even though the 2009 figure is supposed to represent Bumblebee's damaged state as he appeared during the final battle in the movie, oddly enough the "damage" paint decos do not appear to extend to his legs, restricting themselves to his upper torso and car roof/door parts. Maybe they didn't bother because they thought you'd take them off like in the movie. Go figure.

:The Classic Camaro Bumblebee toy included in this package features the same "fixed" Automorph gimmick also found on the version included in the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack. In addition, the Automorph button on the hood ''finally'' sports the painted pinstripes that had been missing on ''all'' previous releases of the sculpt.

:This two-pack was available as a Target exclusive in the USA, as a Zellers exclusive in Canada (in English-only packaging), as a Tesco exclusive in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as an exclusive to stores that were members of either the Idee + Spiel or Vedes trade associations (which were cooperating at the time) in Germany. All international versions came in English-only US-style packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

:A more [[show-accuracy|screen-accurate]] [[redeco]] of Camaro Concept Deluxe Class Bumblebee, with all of the black plastic and paint operations (sans the racing stripes and the grille mesh) are all changed to gray. In addition, the translucent parts are now an ever-so-slightly greener shade of blue. The only other change is the addition of a new [[tampograph]]ed red Autobot symbol on his forehead. Unfortunately, his racing stripes aren't added with black border pinstripes.

:This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) also includes non-[[articulation|poseable]] figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

:This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the scene in which Bumblebee is captured by Sector Seven forces.

:According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist">[http://web.archive.org/web/20080920112933/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Collectors/Checklist Hasbro checklist] featuring Screen Battles sets with additional extras</ref> this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently, the budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], which was supposed to contain ''four'' soldier figures according to the same Hasbro checklist<ref name="checklist"/>).

*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''
:This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee. Despite being in the same scale, this figurine utilizes none of the parts of the ''Robot Replicas'' toy. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

:The Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door "wings" on his back. However, keen [[customizing|customizers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the "Robot Replicas" version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist"/> this seems indeed very plausible.)

===Ultimate===
[[File:Ultimate Bumblebee toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|All those extras and they couldn't make me more accurate than the deluxe class toy.]]
*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Missile
:Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases. His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's "Whip It." This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.

:Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.

:All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional "Try Me" mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.

:The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.

:In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive "Bonus Buy" version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3" [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.

:The projectile included with this figure is the same mold included with several [[Attacktix]] figures like the [[Decepticlone]], Omnicon, Vehicle Mode [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], and a few others.

:[[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a considerably simpler transformation than the standard deluxe toy, intended for the slightly younger set. His main "gimmick" is a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm. As is also the case with Ultimate Bumblebee, the toy is mis-transformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure make the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block. In reality, the chest/bumper consists of two rotating pieces which can pivot down so as to more accurately emulate the appearance in the movie.

:A redeco of Plasma Punch Bumblebee, with the usual Camaro striping now replaced with black colored paint details on upper section of the rear windows, the car roof & front hood, and both halves of each legs are now entirely painted black (due to the half of the leg pieces being swapped with the same grey used for his shoulders). Other deco differences include the crotch being painted silver, and the details on the majority of the body are now replaced with a greener shade of grey, and the turquoise unpaintable joints in now molded in lighter teal. In addition, the left forearm & his head (due to being molded in the same light brown-ish grey) is also painted yellow. Rally Rocket Bumblebee also features a tampograph decal based on his alliterative nickname "BB", with the first "B" letter reversed.

: As is also the case with the original [[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee, the hood in his stock photos is misrepresented as a solid brick.

Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie. Like most Cyber Slammers, Bumblebee manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Bumblebee is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Bumblebee: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.

: Bumblebee also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure.

It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins). For some reason, he's closer to orange than his normal yellow.

[[File:ROTF Legends Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb| Designed for the impulse buyer in all of us.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-03'''

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee is based upon the updated Camaro Concept featured in the movie (unlike the 2007 Legends class Bumblebee which was based on the 1976 Camaro). Compared to the previous Movie Legends, he has better, more accurate detailing and proportions (or as accurate as can be obtained at this [[size class|price point]]).

:The [[:File:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|second batch of stock photos of the toy]], which depict a [[prototype|(pre-)production sample]], show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. It's possible that this was simply the result of an excessive alteration of the hue settings during the digital enhancement of those photos, though.

:There are a few problems on the toy's vehicle mode: Probably due to tolerances, There are difficulties for perfectly aligning the wings/side windows with the legs/rear windows during transformation, though several samples does not seem to have this issue. In terms of deco, Bumblebee's face paint quality varies from figure-to-figure: Due to how the eyes are painted to emulate the mechanical optics; the central blue "eyeball" (especially the left one) is ''slightly'' lopsided. The forehead is often messily painted.

:This mold was used as the basis for the non-toy character [[Saitama Prime]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Pulse Missile

:Released as part of a "preview" [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxe Class assortment alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a relatively major retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate head sculpt... that just so happens to have some very creepy painted eyes but still, it's accurate nonetheless. Also, the paint on the door knobs, the gas lid, and the sculpted "Camaro" is omitted.

:His right arm has also been replaced by an all-new sculpt which substitutes the hand and the hand-held converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version for a built-in plasma cannon with a spring-loaded firing gimmick for the included missile. If one wishes to use the normal right arm, one must pop off the plasma cannon arm and replace it with the normal forearm from the Screen Battles figure (the only one with the accurate gray color), though the window must be replaced with the same translucent blue piece by unscrewing it.

:The instructions still depict him having the head from the 2007 Concept Camaro mold. Both the prototype and stock photos do not have his waist armor rotated into position in robot mode, while the later stock photo does not show the chest pieces being folded up. Due to the omission of the converting Plasma Cannon that holds the rear windows in position, the pieces may not align properly if the lower thighs/vehicle rear is not transformed properly during the robot-to-vehicle conversion.

:The initial production run included a missile that was slightly too long for the slot inside the arm, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. This was fixed by a [[variant|running change]] that saw the missile slightly shortened.<ref name="missile1">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/bumblebee/1757/ Seibertron.com gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the early version with a slightly too long missile.</ref><ref name="missile2">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/rotf/deluxe/bumblebee/ BWTF review of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the later version with a missile that fits in without a problem.</ref><ref name="missile3">[http://snakas.web.fc2.com/09movie/ra03bumblebee.html Autobase Aichi gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], featuring a comparison of both versions of the missile.</ref> The corrected version was also released in other markets such as Japan and Europe.

:This heavy retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts (essentially, only the legs are recycled from ''Movie'' Concept Camaro Bumblebee and the previous ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee; everything else is an entirely new sculpt), including more articulated arms with open palms, less obstructive vehicle [[kibble]], a differently transforming chest, and two flip-out (non-firing) missile launcher racks behind his head. Interestingly, his arms can be detached and easily popped onto the original mold, resulting in a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode, though this sacrifices transformation. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen. A [[variant]] with clear blue windows was released in later shipments.<ref name="cannonbee">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/cannon-bumblebee/1855/2/92/ Comparison between both versions of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Cannon Bumblebee.]</ref>

*'''Bumblebee''' / '''Sam Witwicky''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

:Human Alliance Bumblebee comes with a posable figure of [[Sam Witwicky]] that can fit inside in Bumblebee's vehicle mode (plugging into his seat via a small hole in his back) and drive him. In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. These cannons can also be flipped down further to form some over-the-shoulder restraints. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam can securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his right arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

:[[File:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|left|Modders, vindicated by the prototype.]]
:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because, with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children. The toy's originally intended assembly can still be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html easily achieved by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

:Plonk him down. Lift him up. Plonk him down. Lift him up. This addictive toy transforms automatically when stood up (vehicle to robot), or placed on his back (robot to vehicle). A switch underneath his feet or his car mode releases the transformation — so the toy can be played with in relatively stable modes if held in the air, or just rolling along the ground.

:Because gravity is the powering force in the transformation there's no motors to wear out or batteries to use up when playing with the toy. Which is good, because you will be transforming him no less than nine million times.

:Bumblebee features dumpy proportions and low movie accuracy (no door wings here), forced upon the toy to accommodate the [[Gravity Bot]]s transformation gimmick. His robot mode has no articulation, not even head. But at least he has big feet! Or legs... or whatever the heck they are. Stump? At least he has a big stump.

*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-02'''

:This entirely new Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure for the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toy line]] features a much more accurate and articulated sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept Bumblebee, with the [[transformation scheme]] taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Despite the very similar looks, Battle Blade Bumblebee uses no parts from previous toys; everything about him is an entirely new sculpt. Due to his robot mode height, he stands ''nearly'' taller than Battle Blade Optimus Prime.

:His right hand can be switched out for his cannon by opening the arm guard, flipping out the cannon barrel, folding away the right hand and folding the cannon over to the wrist. Due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of translucent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself may have been based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar to Human Alliance Bumblebee. In other words, pure premium awesome-sauce.

:His head has a tendency to pop off during transformation. The space at the front of the collar would give him ''just'' enough clearance to pass his head through... if it was not for the small plastic flap (the one with the [[Autobot]] symbol) on his chest, which tends to push and squeeze the head out enough that the tension causes the head to pop and fly out from his ball-jointed neck.

:Stock photos show that the axe was originally made in such a way that the blade was mounted on a rod and could be rotated downwards, but this was changed entirely for unknown reasons (possibly fragility). As a result, the blade is mounted upside-down.

:The Japanese ''Autobot Alliance'' release features marginally darker yellow plastic and paint.

All of the green parts have been replaced with a chocolate brown (including the tires), with brown stripes over his eyes which run across the top of his battle helmet. The thumbs and insides of his upper arms are also painted brown. The windows are clear and un-tinted. He has a brown "wash" over his lower arms and on his doors to simulate caked on dirt or mud. There are also silver "scratches" on both doors as well as the driver's side of the hood. He has a tiny black-on-white Autobot symbol on his lower abdomen. Unlike previous versions of this mold, the rear lights, tailpipes, and lower front headlights are unpainted.

:He was packaged with redecoes of [[Rampage (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 2|Rampage]] and [[Ravage (ROTF)#RampageAmongTheRuins|Ravage]] and available exclusively at Toys "R" Us stores.

:Battle Ops Bumblebee is a large (roughly leader size) new mold with "guardian" and "warrior" robot modes, which changes weapons and sound effects. He has a flip down battle mask, a right arm that converts to a plasma cannon, and two non-firing light-up shoulder/hood missile launchers. His non-cannon hand has some articulation, but is tightly jointed. Although not mentioned in the instructions, the missile launchers can be collapsed on the back in robot mode. Also, you have to remove the plastic ring attached on the right cannon hand before you use the toy.

:As revealed at the Hasbro designers panel at [[BotCon 2010]], an easter egg is hidden in Battle Ops Bumblebee's electronics: when in vehicle mode, pressing down on the front left end of the vehicle (or pushing the front left wheel up) thrice will play the first verse of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''Transformers'']] [[theme song]], and three subsequent presses will play the second verse. Unfortunately, it only repeats the first two verses.

:After 7 years, this ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' Bumblebee is a brand-new ''Masterpiece'' mold, based upon his body from the first live-action film. Does it convert? Does it ever!

:As usual, he transforms from a roughly Voyager-sized robot which scales with the Generation 1 ''Masterpiece'' Autobot Cars, into a Concept Camaro seen in the first live-action movie, and his right hand can be replaced with a Stinger Blaster. He also features die-cast parts on his bottom legs & his feet. His Stinger Blaster can store underneath it's vehicle mode.

:Some units feature misassembled waist tabs. Although stock photos shows his tire rims being painted silver, the actual product has tire rims painted in Chevy’s Midnight Silver, which was used as an optional paint for the 2010's Camaros. As with the ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class Neo-Scanning Bumblebee figure, he was casted in rally yellow plastic rather than the usual orange-yellow.

:The Japanese release omits the paint applications on the eyes to allow for light piping, and it features a less dark shading on the blaster weapon. As with most TakaraTomy toys, It also uses black screws over unpainted screws.

:In the United States, Canada, Australia, and Hasbro's Asian markets, ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Bumblebee was exclusively available from [[Toys"R"Us]], as was TakaraTomy's Japanese release. He was also initially released in the Transformers Atrium Fair in Takashimaya B2 Atrium located at Singapore, limited to 300 pieces. In Spain, meanwhile, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés. It's currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply "Toys-Shop", but again might have been available online only.

(This weapon is also depicted on Starscream's side of the instructions, confusing matters of ownership a bit.)

:Care must be taken while rolling Cybertronian Bumblebee's vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section.

:An early name for this set was "Cyberverse Evolution", which is still used by some websites (including the Australian and United Kingdom Toys"R"Us sites), but that name does not appear anywhere on the packaging.

:The [[stock photography|stock photo]] used for the [[packaging]] (which depicts a hand-painted prototype) shows him lacking the retooled hand. The other stock photo (see the image to the right), which depicts a pre-production sample, does show the retooled hand, but has the weapon's handle plugged into a conveniently fitting slot on his ''other'' arm for whatever reason.

Whereas the version with the new right hand was redecoed for several store-exclusive multi-packs, no version available in stores has featured the new ''left'' hand thus far.

:Although the toy is listed as "Bolt Bumblebee" on the official Hasbro website, the United States version and early releases of the [[multilingual packaging|European version]] simply use the name "Bumblebee" everywhere on the packaging, and the "Bolt" prefix was apparently only added as a [[variant|running change]] for later shipments of the European version.

**''Series / Number:'' '''1 / 015'''

:Part of the third wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' Cyberverse Legion Class toys, this toy is a [[black repaint|black]] redeco of his ''Dark of the Moon'' mold. His deco consists of the first two-thirds of his vehicle being cast in black, with painted yellow stripes on the hood and sides, and the rear third of his vehicle being an unpainted metallic yellow, giving the appearance of the stripes extending out from the back. His headlights and most of his windshields are painted a metallic blue, his crotch is painted silver, and he has a gold Autobot insignia on the tip of his hood.

:The yellow paint operations on the black plastic parts and the shade of yellow used for the unpainted yellow plastic parts clash so much that even [[Ben Yee]], who is usually ''very'' generous with his toy reviews, rated this redeco as sub-par.<ref name="stealthyee">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/dotm/legion/bumblebee-black/ BWTF review of ''Cyberverse'' Legion Class "Black" Bumblebee]</ref>

: Commemorating a hilarious and probably very expensive moment of stupidity on the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' set wherein a {{w|Metropolitan Police Department|Metropolitan Police Department}} SUV was hit by a Bumblebee stunt car during filming, Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of his Action Set toy (which uses his first ''Dark of the Moon'' Legion-Class figure) and is painted to hilariously have damage in the front of his vehicle mode. His [[Mobile Battle Bunker#CybertronianWarriors|Mobile Battle Bunker]] has been redecoed to be gray and had the jetpack slightly retooled.

*'''Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Plasma cannon|Plasma Cannon]]

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Bumblebee is an entirely new mold that resembles in many ways the 2010 toyline Battle Blade Bumblebee and is much more accurate than previous Deluxe Bumblebees. In addition to the cosmetic changes made to the vehicle mode and robot mode to resemble the third movie's altered visual design, this Bumblebee also comes with a [[MechTech]] weapon. When a lever is pulled back on the "Blaster" weapon, it opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon", but it springs back into its original position once the lever is left alone. The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via [[5mm post|5mm pegholes]]/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed" 5mm peg hole on the vehicle mode's roof. Two extraneous 5mm peg holes are also located on his vehicle mode hood flap and can be flipped up and used in robot mode to shoulder-mount weapons beside his head. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms. His pair of hands features poseable fingers (albeit 4+1), and it can be formed into a 5mm compatible hand if adjusted properly. Take note that the joints are strong enough to hold the MechTech blaster until it wears off over time of play.

:Bumblebee can form a semi-Stealth Force configuration by lifting up the rear half of his roof, exposing concealed cannons sculpted in translucent blue plastic. Also of note in vehicle mode is the sculpted Camaro SS badging near the doors, which doesn't appear on any other ''Dark of the Moon'' Bumblebee toy or the prop vehicles used for filming.

:Just like his CG robot model, his [[package art]] depicts his racing stripes being pinstripe-bordered despite his toy no longer having it. Whoops.

:Bumblebee is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release. This mold was also used to make ''Movie The Best'' [[Laserbeak (DOTM)#Movie The Best|Laserbeak]].

*'''Nitro Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA18'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Cybertronian Boost Engine/Plasma Cannon

:Nitro Bumblebee is an all-new mold, featuring booster engines, armor plating and other Stealth Force-like design elements sculpted onto the vehicle mode. He transforms rather differently to most of the other Deluxe class Bumblebee molds, with much of the entire front of the car being articulated chest pieces rather than the usual front fenders separating from the rest of the chest. Also of note are his legs, which are considerably different in appearance and transformation to the standard set by the 2007 ''Transformers'' Deluxe class (Camaro Concept) Bumblebee, with the rear wheels ending up inside of his ankle. Like the Leader Class toy, he features sculpted (but unpainted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]]s in both modes, making it the first time the license plate used for the car props from all three movies is used for a Deluxe Class toy.

:He comes with a MechTech Boost Engine, which converts into a Plasma Cannon when the lever is pulled, and although it is similar in function and appearance to [[Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Skids]]'s MechTech blaster, it is in actuality an entirely new mold. He features five MechTech ports in vehicle mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. In robot mode, both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

**''Accessories:'' Plasma Cannon

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] Bumblebee (also sold at Sainsbury's stores in the United Kingdom) is a redeco of the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee, with the standard production model Chevrolet Camaro front end as compared to the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' ZL1 version and the first reuse of the 2007 mold, both hands and the hand-held [[plasma cannon]]/energy blade weapon. However, he ''does'' have the retooled shoulder panels that are held in place with screws (first introduced with ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Alliance Bumblebee).

:Bumblebee features many different ''Transformers'' [[insignia]]s from across different continuities, namely; [[:File:Ancient Autobot Symbol.png|Generation 1 Prehistory Autobot]], [[:File:Minicon symbol.png|Armada Mini-Con]], [[:File:Sumdac Systems.PNG|Animated Sumdac Systems]], [[:File:Playschool Go-Bots G.png|Playschool Go-Bot]], [[S.T.A.R.S.]], "FLY [[Omega Supreme (disambiguation)|Ω SUPREME]]", [[G.B.

:The [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of his packaging are quite strange, depicting a significantly different deco, with the primary color for his vehicle mode gradually fading from yellow to red towards the bottom, and parts of his abdomen sporting the same red color. In addition, his handheld weapon's blade sports a clear blue color. The final toy, by contrast, features no red at all, and his blade is cast in clear black plastic. Furthermore, the stock photos depict his eyes as bright blue, whereas the final toy's eyes are painted black. On top of that, the stock photos contradict ''each other'', with the photo of his robot mode depicting clear blue windows, whereas the photo of his vehicle mode depicts opaque ''black'' windows.

: An all new mold, this version of Bumblebee is smaller than his previous Leader-sized incarnations and, ''technically'', is his first Leader-class toy. Along with the update to his Dark of the Moon form, this is also the first toy to feature a (sculpted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]] (the one used for the prop cars for all three movies). Being different in proportions to his other toys, this Bumblebee seems to have inspired his later "[[#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]]" toy, having a much bulkier torso and smaller arms, with the entire hood pieces being deformed into his chest.

: The main gimmick is that he comes with a massive MechTech backpack, which hooks onto his back window/back, and is the sole electronic component of the toy. It resembles a [[jet pack|jet-pack]], and features missile pods and a cannon, all of which emit lights and sounds when pressed, and can be positioned for either robot or vehicle mode. Pressing the missile pod housings will emit orange lights and play the sound of a barrage of missiles being launched while pressing the cannon will prop up a targeting sight, emit green lights, and play the sound of the cannon deploying/charging and firing a powerful-sounding blast. The weapons can be deployed/retracted when the brown panel on the top-left of the backpack is slid, making the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]] in the process (with an additional mechanical impact sound after deploying). There are a total of five MechTech ports and four [[C joint]] bars on the backpack, with a port and bar on each missile pod, a port on the side of the cannon barrel, a port on the sliding panel, a port on the top-center of the backpack, and a bar on top of each battery compartment.

: Bumblebee can also transform into his [[Stealth Force]] attack vehicle mode, wherein his hood portions split forward and open, his doors open and hinge up, his robot arms swing out from the sides to aim, his plasma cannon extends, and his backpack is attached and deployed, with dedicated pegs to help secure his doors, arms, and shoulders. Finally, like a few other Bumblebee toys, he also features a flip-down battle mask.

: Unfortunately, while Bumblebee has rotational leg [[articulation]], they're ''below'' the knees, limiting their usefulness. Even more unfortunately, while he's perfectly stable on his own, plugging in his backpack in robot mode will make him ''very'' back-heavy, resulting in significant balance issues and limitation of poseability due to his [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s not being strong enough to handle the additional weight on one side. Posing him to lean forwards or posing his legs further to his back may remedy this.

: His secondary stock photos are slightly mistransformed: his shoulder collars are not folded out. Ironically; this mistranformation ''also allows'' the head to move slightly freely.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2011)

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Bumblebee figure (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. Transformation consists of positioning him on the large blue section to the rear of his vehicle mode and pressing down, causing his components to shift around and reveal his robot parts; from there, one just has to rotate out his arms. Transformation back to vehicle mode is done by reversing the steps.

:Bumblebee was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn't be transformed in package.

:[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/110058-question-robo-power-activators/ At least one report] has surfaced of a brand-new figure missing one of the locking tabs that work the spring-loaded transformation mechanism, leaving the figure unable to transform properly.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2011)
''Revving Robots'' Bumblebee is a toy that was designed for younger children and thus lacks transformation. Bumblebee has four points of articulation, the shoulders and hips. Pressing his Autobot symbol causes him to speak one of several prerecorded phrases that change actors mid sentence to invoke the sense that he was talking via his radio. Pushing up the blue shoulder pad activates his stinger blaster, causing it to spin and make blaster sounds. The toy was released alongside ''Revving Robots'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

: The larger Bumblebee ''[[Kre-O]]'' kit is based on the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee of the live-action films]], though with the face of the [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 character]] inside a movie-style helmet. He rebuilds into a sports car that can seat two [[Kreon]] figures, and has a spring-loaded missile launcher.

: He comes with three [[Kreon]]s; a Bumblebee based very much on [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Generation 1 Bumblebee]], [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Red Alert]], and an unnamed "Driver" with black hair and a gray shirt who we guess is meant to kinda sorta be a [[Sam Witwicky]]-like dude if you squint.

**''Accessories:'' 2 throwing stars

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK and Germany, this two-pack contains another brand new Bumblebee sculpt based on the new form he acquires part way through the ''Age of Extinction'' film. Bumblebee transforms into a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro concept, and includes two 'fake kibble' hubcaps, which can be screen-accurately mounted on his back, removed and held as throwing star weapons, or store underneath his vehicle mode. Additionally, his right forearm features a flip-out cannon, and his head sports a flip down battle mask (which is horribly inaccurate to the actual battle mask in the film). Bumblebee cannot transform into vehicle mode with his Shurikens pegged on his back.

: The two-pack also includes a 'Classic' Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generations|Legends Class Bumblebee]], cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon. In most regions, this pack was released ahead of the ''Age of Extinction'' Deluxe figure's single-carded release.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes to the figures themselves. The box features Japanese translated versions of the English text on the front and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release. Take note that this was also the first Japanese release of the 2014 Camaro Bumblebee mold, 7 days ''before'' it's ''Movie Advanced'' Series release (seen below).

The Japanese release of the toy, released as part of ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' lineup (7 days after the original Hasbro Bumblebee mold from the Evolution 2-pack Bumblebee released in Japan), features paint operations on his robot mode's arms, thighs, & his eyes...although this neuters the light-piping gimmick.

:Most promotional images featuring this figure (like the one above), except the ones from Takara, have Bumblebee mistransformed, with his shoulders not folded down correctly and his front bumper/grille not folded down into his chest.

:The mold was later redecoed as Movie Advanced Series [[Stinger (AOE)#Movie Advanced Series|Stinger]].

:This Bumblebee is a ''slightly'' redecoed re-release of the second ''Premier Edition'' Deluxe Class figure, with darker yellow plastic and paint seen in the first ''Movie the Best'' figure above. He also sports some tooling changes: Notably, the arm cannon is a different tooling that is the mirror opposite of the version available with the original release, and thus it is designed to attach to the ''right'' arm instead of the left one. Less notable is the addition of a [[C joint|3mm peg]] to the right forearm to make it a mirror opposite of its left counterpart, allowing it to be attached to the back while the cannon is attached to the arm. Additionally, he comes with a new hammer accessory (hence the name) based on the hammer Bee used during his fight with Nemesis Prime in ''The Last Knight''. The Hammer can also be stored onto the rear hip, or onto Bumblebee's vehicle spoiler, mounted along with the Stinger Blaster. All the new pieces are made from the same tooling, resulting in slightly mismatched forearms, with the new right one made of gray plastic painted orange and silver while the left one is made of orange plastic with silver paint.

:[[Tiny Turbo Changers]] Bumblebee is a small, stumpy, soft-plastic [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] mini-figure that changes from robot to a Concept Camaro 2016 with just a few simple steps. He features hands that are compatible with ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' weapons and other 3mm post accessories. Like all Tiny Turbo Changers, his vehicle-mode tires do not spin, sorry. His legs are attached backwards in package. However, his legs can be easily dismantled from the hood/feet & the waist, flipping the legs backwards, and reassembled.

:Despite bearing the Concept Camaro 2016-ish vehicle mode, his robot mode sculpt and paint applications resemble his appearance in ''Age of Extinction''.

:He and the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#TinyTurboChanger|Optimus Prime]] were available in the first two Series of the line, with no noteworthy changes between releases. Not even their bag codes changed. Their instruction books were updated to say "Series 2". It was unknown if this release had correctly assembled legs.

:Bumblebee was re-released in the second wave of the Premier Edition Deluxe line, and now features a black section on the car roof & the rear section of the vehicle shell. The easiest way to identify the variant is by looking at the bottom rear piece while the figure is in-package, as the black paint can be seen through the clear plastic. This variant also applies to the TakaraTomy release of the figure. Due to this, the initial variant became less common.

:This Deluxe Class Bumblebee is an entirely new mold, transforming from a robot based on his appearance in ''The Last Knight'' into a 2017 Concept Camaro. He also comes with a "Stinger Blaster" arm cannon, which replaces his left arm, or stores underneath his robot mode back. The arm can also be wielded as a handgun via its 5mm post.

:On many copies of this toy, the pegs securing the feet come undone easily, making the feet really floppy, while some parts like the "wings" are prone to becoming detached. Despite what the instructions say, the left arm should be pulled sideways out of the joint instead of down to prevent breakage of the connection. In several occasions, the only way to secure the feet's pegs is by pressing the pieces together firmly. (Make sure the pieces are properly adjusted.)

**''Accessories'': 2 projectiles (1977 Camaro Bumblebee), Missile (1967 Camaro Bumblebee), Detachable Arm Cannon (2016 Camaro Bumblebee)

:''[[Transformers: Tribute]]'' Bumblebee Evolution 3-pack consists of redecos of [[Bumblebee_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys|the first Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure from the 2007 Movie]], [[Bumblebee_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys_5| High Octane Bumblebee from ''Age of Extinction'']], and the most recent, [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#ThirdTLKDeluxe|second ''Premier Edition'' Bumblebee figure]]. The 3-pack features particularly unique packaging, modeled after a garage, complete with graffiti.

:For the 1977 Camaro Bumblebee figure, he uses the opaque windows from the Hasbro release and the fixed Automorph gimmick from the Towed to Safety and the Evolution of a Hero 2-packs. Paint operations on this Bumblebee are minimized compared to his original release, omitting the battle damage on the vehicle mode and some smaller details of his robot mode such as the blue stripes on his thighs and parts of his face. The Automorph button does not use the painted stripes from the Evolution of a Hero 2-pack.

:The 1967 Camaro Bumblebee figure keeps the paint layout of its original "High Octane" release, but features several plastic color differences: The yellow parts are changed from a darker, more orange-y tone to the same lighter shade of yellow plastic shared among all the figures in this set, with the yellow paint operations and tampographs in vehicle mode changed accordingly, all the charcoal-colored parts are replaced by black plastic, the missile (and all of the unpaintable plastic joints) is changed from black to yellow, and the baby blue paint operations for the eyes are changed to a darker tone.

:The 2017 Camaro Bumblebee figure features smoky translucent plastic in his windows as opposed to the original's entirely transparent ones. The Hasbro stock photo for his robot mode still depicts him holding his arm cannon as a gun. This also applies to Takara's secondary stock photos. Speaking of Takara, his vehicle mode roof is also slightly mistransformed.

:The set also saw release as an Amazon Japan exclusive.

The figure recycles the engineering of [[#ThirdTLKDeluxe|''The Last Knight Premier Edition'' Bumblebee]], with a new vehicle shell and some body parts (mostly the lower section) that make Bumblebee slightly smaller than the original mold and thus more to scale with the ''Studio Series'' toys. He transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro based on his appearance in the first live-action ''Transformers'' movie in 22 steps and includes a cardboard backdrop display depicting his encounter with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. He also includes a blaster similar to the one from the ''Premier Edition'' figure, though slightly downscaled, with a different connection point and a slightly altered mirrored sculpt, similar to the ''Movie the Best'' War Hammer Bumblebee toy. The leg joints' floppy connection is also amended from the previous mold. Bumblebee features a [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake]] front grill on his robot mode chest, which the real grill slides over in vehicle mode. He also features rectangular holes on his lower front bumper, the rocker panels, the rear end of the front hood, and the lower valance. The Stinger Blaster can be mounted onto the rear bumper.

:Depending on the individual sample's quality control, Bumblebee has some problems with parts (notably the rear section of the vehicle) refusing to lock together and continually detaching from their proper position thanks to some tolerance issues. His lack of pins on the car roof, combined with said quality control issues, make the transformation ''absolute hell'' if followed by the instructions. Thankfully, [https://youtu.be/bm921hDELGM ways] have been found to transform him to help remedy this problem. Additionally, while converting into both modes, don't flip the lower yellow leg pieces first or after within contact distance at the same time; Doing so can collide both parts and leaves a small but glaring paint chip. The only way to avoid this issue is by leaving the pieces untransformed/flipped back before you separate/reconnect the rear halves.

:Bumblebee, along with the rest of Wave 1 Deluxes, was made available at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] following New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], two months ahead of the scheduled brick and mortar release. The second run of the toy features a running change that eventually amends the quality control issues that plagued the first run. The fixed version's date code is written as "80201". Sadly some copies carrying this code still have the QC issues from the original figure.

**''ID number'': '''15'''
**''Accessories'': Detachable Stinger Blaster, right arm, bumper, 2 rocker panels, 2 spoilers, 2 hoods, [[Charlie Watson]] figurine, "Highway Freedom" backdrop
:This ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee is a redeco of the 01 Deluxe Class toy above, featuring new customizable parts (bumper, rocker panels, spoilers, hoods) for his vehicle mode to evoke the look of a muscle car (while making use of the rectangular holes from the original toy), though they prevent him from fully transforming into robot mode while attached (with the exception of the car hood). He also includes two different options for a spoiler and the hood in car mode. The set includes a Charlie Watson figurine wearing a shirt with the ''Bumblebee'' logo. Compared to the first ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee toy, he loses the striping on the vehicle shells and chest, the silver toes & the yellow and some of the black on his chest flap (probably meant to evoke his appearance in the prequel movie), and the Stinger blaster's upper section. Instead, a vast sticker sheet is included with multiple different decals to customize the figure.

:This set was originally intended as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive and had the working name "Rebekah's Garage" (presumably the name of the originally intended backdrop scene; the general retail wave 3 figure listed below has a "Charlie's Garage" backdrop), but because of Toys"R"Us's bankruptcy, those plans have changed. After having been found at a single [[Target]] store in the United States before it was even officially announced, it was revealed as an alleged Entertainment Earth "exclusive", but was simultaneously also listed by competing online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]] and ToyWiz, in many instances still under the old working name. It ''was'' released as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Canada, with store price tags featuring yet ''another'' working name, "Street Racer Set". Neither name can be found on the packaging, which simply calls the figure "Bumblebee" with no additional prefix or suffix, and the backdrop scene is called "Highway Freedom" on the back.

:All stock photos of the toy's robot mode are mistransformed: His rear kibble/car roof is not folded into a compact piece to tuck into his back.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2018)
**''ID number'': '''18'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-16'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[October 27]], 2018'''
**''Accessories'': Detachable Gatling Gun, right arm, arm blade, battle-mask face, normal face, "Charlie's Garage" backdrop
:This ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee is an all-new mold that transforms from a robot based on the ''Bumblebee'' film into a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle and back! He also comes with a detachable right Gatling Gun arm, an arm blade that can be attached to any of his arms, and a normal face that can be switched out for a battle mask. Most of his additional accessories can be attached to the underside of his car or to his back in robot mode. The exception is one of his faces, which, hangs off his car window. Bumblebee can transform into vehicle mode with either of his faces attached, but cannot be fully transformed with his Gatling gun arm on.

:He is one of the smallest figures in the ''Studio Series'', standing in the same height as [[Jazz (Movie)#Studio Series|Jazz]], most likely due to his small stature in the ''Bumblebee'' film itself.

:TakaraTomy stock photos of the figure depict him lacking silver paint on his robot mode feet, similar to the slightly redecoed figure from the upcoming Then & Now 2-pack. (However, it was currently unknown if the said stock photos are digitally edited versions of the said figure (which also unintentionally revealing the toy from the 2-pack), or it was just a quality control-prone copy sent for photography.) One of the robot mode stock photos is also slightly mistransformed in robot mode: his chest pieces are not locked correctly.

:Like the first Studio Series Bumblebee, this figure also suffers from several design flaws exacerbated by potential quality control issues. Due to the tolerance-altering layers of paint involved, the connection between the face pieces and the back of the head can be too tight or pop off, potentially causing paint chipping. Meanwhile, his vehicle mode's kibble has some minor tabbing issues, notably on the waist piece; his 5mm-compatible hands are prone to popping out if rotated back too far, and his pair of wing doors in robot mode have a tendency to flop over time. However, a gradual running change seems to have fixed these errors almost entirely.

:The vehicle hood and roof that forms his backpack is meant to lock securely into a groove on his upper back in robot mode, but there are two tabs on his back that make this process very difficult and pose the risk of breaking the translucent plastic hinge that has to be forced over it during transformation. While the first tab, located on his hip, is required to store his cannon in either mode, the second tab just below the groove can be sanded down to ease transformation.

**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-19'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[January 26]], [[2019]]'''
**''Accessories'': Pistol, hammer, "WWII Flashback" backdrop
:This version of ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee is based off his appearance during [[World War II]] in ''The Last Knight''. Rather than transforming into the Mercedes-Benz car as seen in the movie, however, he transforms into an armored car as in [[Josh Nizzi]]'s concept art for the character — though it's a ''different'' armored car, being a {{W|Humber Light Reconnaissance Car}} rather than a {{w|Humber Scout Car}}! Bumblebee's Warhammer, based on the one used in World War II (and can double as a monotone version of the warhammer used in his fight against Optimus), doubles as a vehicle mode artillery barrel, with his handgun transforming into a top-mounted turret. As an unadvertised feature, the hammer can be mounted on the back with the handle facing upwards to the left.

:In a ''near''-unnoticeable detail, the Autobot insignia can be seen on his forehead, and it blends very ''badly'' with the green plastic.

:WWII Bumblebee also features a pseudo-[[Automorph Technology|Automorph gimmick]]: His front chest panel can be pushed up and down, retracting/extending his head as long it faces upwards. Also, due to his transformation scheme, WWII Bumblebee is a [[shellformer]], with the majority of the vehicle shells hanging on his rear like a backpack. Speaking of vehicle shells, the "backpack" also blocks the tab hole for display stands unless it's slightly lifted up. While the turret base can be rotated, the Pistol's handle is loose enough to swivel while mounted on, rendering the feature pointless. In a rather baffling design flaw: The holes on the (seemingly) bobbling chest panel are meant to lock with the shoulder joint's tabs, though both the shoulder joint and chest tabs are too further to be tabbed on. On the bright side, the arms are not easily dislodged further from the central body as the backpack is holding the shoulder joints/rear wheel kibble in place.

:This mold was retooled as [[Hot Rod (DOTM)#Generations|WWII Hot Rod]].

:A redeco of [[#Studio Series|the ''Studio Series'' 1976 Camaro Bumblebee]], "Clunker Bumblebee" sports a deco representing the beat-up look he had when first found by Sam, and even comes with a backdrop of [[Bolivia's Finest Quality Used Cars and Petting Zoo]]!

:While the deco seemed to be ''very'' similar to the giveaway figure from above, the patterns are slightly different compared to that toy. While most of his paint masks are identical from the first toy, his chest's stripes and stomach's yellow and some of the black are omitted like the Charlie Watson multipack, the rear vehicle stripes are shortened, and the entire Stinger Blaster is entirely coated in silver (except the pegs). Some yellow paint is omitted from his forearms, and the painted pegs on the feet that connect with the thighs in vehicle mode are removed. The Autobot symbol on his forehead is also slightly narrower.

:This release of the mold finally features the pins for the car roof's midsection, which prevents it from falling off during transformation.

:The fifth general retail Bumblebee figure in the ''Studio Series'' lineup, this Bumblebee is an all-new mold that transforms into his 2008 Concept Camaro form in 39 steps, and with some transformation cues taken from from [[#ThirdTLKDeluxe|''The Last Knight Premier Edition'' Bumblebee]] and the 1976 Camaro mold from the same subline. His head also comes with a non-removable battle mask, which is on the same size ball joint as the original and Clunker versions of Bumblebee in this line, allowing you to easily swap the heads.

:Released as part of ''Bumblebee'' Energon Igniter's Speed Series line, this Bumblebee is a Legends/Legion-sized mold (standing in the same height as [[Jazz_(Movie)#Legends_Class_toys|Legends Class Jazz]]) that transforms from robot into a licensed Volkswagen Beetle in just a few steps, and he features 3mm compatible hands. Bumblebee can also be attached to the Energon Igniters core, and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly. As the port is 5mm compatible, Bumblebee can mount with other smaller weapons with the same post size, making him an efficient weapon-towing vehicle.

The figure's proportions and sculpted detail are significantly improved compared to his [[Bumblebee_(Movie)/toys#Legends_Class_toys|first Legends Class figure]], though the new transformation leaves him with a faux chest and no trademark door-wings. His vehicle mode is largely unpainted, save for a single black paint app for the windshield and hood stripes. The black unpaintable patches on the car roof evoke roof stripes... even though this vehicle mode never ''had'' that detailing. He also features pinned wheels instead of the simple-assembly ones. In a surprisingly near-unnoticeable detail, the Autobot Insignia is sculpted on his fake chest. He shares a similar transformation scheme with ''Robots in Disguise (2015)'' Legion Class [[Sideswipe_(RID)#Legion_Class|Sideswipe]].

Bumblebee can also be attached to the Energon Igniters core to zip his vehicle mode forward. There is also a 5mm port on the vehicle mode hood.

:His articulation in robot mode is rather sparse, limited mostly to his elbows.

:The central [[Stock photography|stock photo]] in the rear packaging depicts him having two 5mm compatible hands, in contrast to the actual toy.

*'''Chevrolet Camaro Transformers Special Edition''' (2009)

:Starting [[June 1]], 2009, [[General Motors|Chevrolet]] began taking orders for the Bumblebee Edition package for the 2009/2010 Chevy Camaro. The package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color with black "Bumblebee" stripes, as well as "''Transformers''" badging on the wheel center caps, sill plates, and embroidered console lid. The package was available for Camaro LT and SS models.

:Production of the Transformers Special Edition ceased on [[January 12]], [[2010]], and with an estimated 1,500 Camaro to have been produced straight from order workbenches.<ref>[http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48563 "Camaro changes - Aqua Blue and Transformers Edition to end; high wing spoiler; hurst". Camaro5.com]</ref> Though production for this full package (with an order of a new Camaro) has ceased, the individual parts that made up the package can still be purchased through authorised GM accessory dealers. However, inspection of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) would reveal if the Camaro was a true Transformers Special Edition or an after-market clone.

*'''Chevrolet Camaro 2012 Transformers Special Edition''' (2011)

:In conjunction with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', Chevrolet began taking orders for the 2012 Transformers Special Edition package for the Chevy Camaro in July 2011, with vehicles arriving at dealers in the U.S., and Canada in September of the same year. Based upon the Bumblebee Camaro prop as it appears in ''Dark of the Moon'', the package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color, with black rally stripes that stretched over the hood, roof, and decklid, a ''Dark of the Moon''-inspired high-wing rear spoiler, 20-inch, black-painted wheels with performance tires, and Autobot Shield logos on the center caps and front quarter panels.

[[File:ChevyCamaro2012TransformersSpecialEdition optionals.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Of course it's a toy, too! It's just an adult-only, no touching, thirty thousand dollar toy.]]

:Inside, the package has a black leather interior accented with yellow stitching on the instrument panel, center console, armrests, and seats. Autobot Shield logos were embroidered on the front headrests and the center console lid.

:Additionally, two dealer-installed options were available: exclusive, 21-inch, black-painted wheels, and a black ground-effects package.

==Notes==
*A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
*[[Aaron Archer]] mentioned that when Hasbro received pictures of numerous toys of Bumblebee [[shelfwarmer|shelf-warming]], they finally realized that they had indeed gone overboard with his toys. Archer suggested a need for a certain amount of yellow-colored toys in each wave, hence the large amount of Bumblebees released per wave.

Transformers: BotBots (toyline)

2020-01-13T02:52:27Z

LV: /* Series 4 */ Smore

[[File:Transformers BotBots Logo.jpg|center|350px]]
[[File:BotBotsPromoArt.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Don't eat the ones that turn into food, or you'll get botbotulism!]]

'''''Transformers: BotBots''''' is a toyline released in late [[2018]], involving small, cartoony, [[super deformed]] robot characters who transform into mundane items. These 1-inch tall soft-plastic bots are marketed in the same style as the insanely popular ''{{w|Shopkins}}'' toys and other collectible mini-toys. The line is heavily aimed at young children, with wackiness and toilet humor galore.

In the universe of the BotBots, a mysterious cloud of [[energon]] gas drifted through a shopping mall, bringing tools, electronics, and even food to life as tiny transforming robots. By day they hide, and by night, mischief aplenty.

''BotBots'' seems to take place in its own [[continuity]]; the rare references to extant ''Transformers'' universes or incarnations of existing characters seem to indicate those exist as mass-market fiction in this world.

{{Quote|One stormy night at a mall nearby, energon power fell from the sky. It hit the mall with its powerful might, and gave everyday objects robot life!|official synopsis}}

==Overview==
[[File:TransformersBotBotstoys.jpg|thumb|right|300px|If ever there was a time to give us a new toy of [[Ejector]], Hasbro, this is it.]]

Each BotBot is a tiny, roughly-1-inch tall PVC-plastic toy that converts from a robot into some other object in a few short, simple steps. Though accessories are exceedingly rare in the line, many BotBots have hands that are compatible with accessories that use [[C joint|3mm posts]].

Each character belongs to a themed team depending on the "store" their [[alternate mode]] is found in, though the individual members of the team are spread out among a '''''lot''''' of packages. The three main price points in the line, found in every Series, are:

* '''[[Blindpacking|Blind Bag]] Mystery Figures''' with a single Bot inside
* '''5-Packs''' with two Bots from the pack's theme team, two Bots from two other teams, and an additional blind-packed (but ''not'' random) "Lost Bot"
* '''8-Packs''' with two Bots from the pack's theme team, five Bots from five other teams, and an additional blind-packed (but not random) "Lost Bot"

There are also several special price points introduced in later Series:

* '''Arcade Renegades Surprise''' packs with twelve Bots from the pack's theme team, and four from other teams (well, usually)
* '''Surprise Unboxing''' packs with ten individual capsules inside, containing five Bots, one "Winner's Circle" gold Bot, and four stickers

Naturally, there is a ton of overlap, with many figures available in multiple different packs; some Bots can be found in up to ''four'' different packages per Series. These redundant Bots are meant to encourage trading among the kids.

In the first three Series, the blind-packed portions are opened by pulling up a tearable flap on the back of the card, revealing a perforated paper layer. The instructions say to then push the plastic bubble with both thumbs to pop the Bot out through the paper, but you can just tear the paper and pull it out too. By Series 4, these tearaway flaps were removed to discourage in-store theft.

The Blind Bag Mystery Figures have individual ID numbers that allow you to tell what toy is inside. For Series 1 and 4, these are lightly embossed (by hand, strangely) on the back of the card on the bottom-right, near the pull-up flap. There are clearer, stamped-on ID codes located ''under'' the flap, though pulling them up while you're still in the store may get you in trouble. In Series 2 and 3, the ID numbers are instead properly printed onto the back of the card, near the top edge. The blindpacked portions of 5-packs and 8-packs also have hand-embossed numbers to identify the Lost Bot/Winner's Circle Bot inside, but we tell you what's in there anyway, so.

==Toys==
As each individual toy can appear in multiple multi-packs, this section is... a little more complicated than most. For each Series, we'll first list a complete roster of characters, broken down by their "tribes", then a listing of the individual packages and their contents.

===Series "1.5"===
This series features special "color change" BotBots with heat-sensitive paint, revealing splotches when warmed up. It appears to be an "add-on" to Series 1, and includes a modified Series 1 checklist.

It was revealed via Hasbro Australia's website<ref>https://shop.hasbro.com/en-au/product/transformers-botbots-toys-bakery-bytes-mystery-5-pack-series-1-collectible-color-change-figures:FD475617-D835-4087-8A4C-6984CB2B7F1F</ref>. But its lack of appearance at [[Toy Fair 2019]], as well as apparently not being included in the ''[[Transformers BotBots Official Sticker Book]]'', indicate it was originally meant to be a store [[exclusive]]; most likely [[Toys"R"Us]], as they are sold through that chain in Canada, Taiwan and Hong Kong. With that chain's US death, [[Amazon]] eventually released the Bakery Bytes to US buyers (as would several smaller online outlets well before then), but no word on the Lawn League yet.

{{note|This "minimum buy" arrangement '''''only''''' works if you can obtain the toys in-person and can see what you're getting. Amazon, the US distributor, does '''''not''''' allow you to pick specific items from ''BotBots'' assortments, and will send you random ones. In this instance, you are better off ordering two Lawn League packs — of which there are only two and they contain all of the toys in wave 1.5 except for the two color-changing Bakery Bytes— and a single Bakery Bytes pack, which no matter which one you get, will have said two color-changing Bakery Bytes. There's still an off chance you might get two of the same Lawn League pack, but retailer Kohl's accepts Amazon returns. Yeah, it's a pain, sorry.}}

*'''''Transformers BotBots Official Sticker Book''''' (2019)
**''Publishing date'': [[September 24]], 2019

: Published by [[Random House]], the ''[[Transformers BotBots Official Sticker Book]]'' contains over 500 stickers, with character profiles on 123 ''BotBots'' characters (including the Series 1 & 2 Bots, and the two moved from Series 1 to Series 3). The book also reveals which group the various [[Lost Bots]] are missing from.

{{-}}
*'''''Lost Bots! (Transformers BotBots) Step Into Reading - Step 3 ''''' (2020)
**''Publishing date'': [[July 7]], 2020
Aimed for kids aged 5 to 7, this 3-step-reading book contains 30 stickers as well.<ref>https://www.amazon.de/Lost-Bots-Transformers-Botbots-Reading/dp/0593173007/ref=sr_1_7?crid=CBSXBD1FIX31&keywords=botbots&qid=1577272595&sprefix=boptbots%2Caps%2C247&sr=8-7</ref>

==Notes==
* The instruction leaflets (as well as the official BotBots website) provide all of the individual BotBot characters with a "Level" of between one and three stars. This corresponds to the illustrated checklist (included in every BotBots package), depicting the BotBots within a shopping mall. To make each BotBot easier to find on the checklist, the one-starred BotBots are on the ground floor, the two-starred BotBots are on the second tier, and the three-starred BotBots are on the top floor. The star rating appears to have no other purpose, and is not a reliable indicator of rarity. 3-Star bots are ''usually'' only available in a single pack, but many one-pack-only bots aren't 3-Star rated. None of this is helped by the fact that Series 2 has several discrepancies between the pack-in checklist and website's Levels for many bots.
* Promotional material for Series 1 shows two Bots who are not actually ''in'' Series 1, a baseball and a soccer ball.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmjc_F0GISU Transformers BotBots Origin Story Sing-Along on YouTube]</ref> Both were moved to later Series.
* All of the characters introduced thus far are entirely new, separate from any traditional "Generation 1" characters: a rarity in today's ''Transformers'' toy market.
* On that note, many characters have [[Autobot]] and [[Decepticon]] symbols on them (though the latter has not been found on anyone without the former also present). However, it does not appear that this is meant to indicate factional allegiance... but ''in-universe marketing''. Absolutely no mention of the Autobots, Decepticons, Cybertron, or the like is made in the promotional materials, only "energon". Several Bots like [[Skillz Punk]] have both faction symbols on them, typically in the context "Autobots vs Decepticons" branding. It looks like in this universe, "Autobots" and "Decepticons" are... well, intellectual property used to advertise products. Meta!
* ''BotBots'' easily has the highest percentage of [[female Transformer]]s in its cast of any ''Transformers'' toyline, and by a stunningly wide margin. In the first two series alone, ''39'' of the 121 characters are female. In fact, it took ''Transformers'' as a whole ''thirty years'' to approach that number of female toy-characters ''period'', and that's including [[BotCon|convention]]-exclusive offerings! (And ''not'' counting toys that had no [[bio]] upon release and were later [[retcon]]ned as female.)

Transformers: BotBots (toyline)

2019-11-13T04:54:49Z

LV: /* Series 4 */ Also, that's certainly "Tricitrustops" with an O, and the crease just makes it look like a U, but until we have proof...

[[File:Transformers BotBots Logo.jpg|center|350px]]
[[File:BotBotsPromoArt.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Don't eat the ones that turn into food, or you'll get botbotulism!]]

'''''Transformers: BotBots''''' is a toyline released in late [[2018]], involving small, cartoony, [[super deformed]] robot characters who transform into mundane items. These 1-inch tall soft-plastic bots are marketed in the same style as the insanely popular ''{{w|Shopkins}}'' toys and other collectible mini-toys. ''BotBots'' seems to take place in its own [[continuity]], with no ties to extant ''Transformers'' universes or incarnations of existing characters. The line is also quite kid-focused, with wackiness and toilet humor galore.

In the universe of the BotBots, a mysterious cloud of [[energon]] gas drifted through a shopping mall, bringing tools, electronics, and even food to life as tiny transforming robots. By day they hide, and by night, mischief aplenty.
{{Quote|One stormy night at a mall nearby, energon power fell from the sky. It hit the mall with its powerful might, and gave everyday objects robot life!|official synopsis}}

==Overview==
[[File:TransformersBotBotstoys.jpg|thumb|right|300px|If ever there was a time to give us a new toy of [[Ejector]], Hasbro, this is it.]]

Each BotBot is a tiny, roughly-1-inch tall PVC-plastic toy that converts from a robot into some other object in a few short, simple steps. Though accessories are exceedingly rare in the line, many BotBots have hands that are compatible with accessories that use [[C joint|3mm posts]].

Each character belongs to a themed team depending on the "store" their [[alternate mode]] is found in, though the individual members of the team are spread out among a '''''lot''''' of packages. The three main price points in the line, found in every Series, are:

* '''[[Blindpacking|Blind Bag]] Mystery Figures''' with a single Bot inside
* '''5-Packs''' with two Bots from the pack's theme team, two Bots from two other teams, and an additional blind-packed (but ''not'' random) "Lost Bot"
* '''8-Packs''' with two Bots from the pack's theme team, five Bots from five other teams, and an additional blind-packed (but not random) "Lost Bot"

There are also several special price points introduced in later Series:

* '''Arcade Renegades Surprise''' packs with twelve Bots from the pack's theme team, and four from other teams (well, usually)
* '''Surprise Unboxing''' packs with ten individual capsules inside, containing five Bots, one "Winner's Circle" gold Bot, and four stickers

Naturally, there is a ton of overlap, with many figures available in multiple different packs; some Bots can be found in up to ''four'' different packages per Series. These redundant Bots are meant to encourage trading among the kids.

In the first three Series, the blind-packed portions are opened by pulling up a tearable flap on the back of the card, revealing a perforated paper layer. The instructions say to then push the plastic bubble with both thumbs to pop the Bot out through the paper, but you can just tear the paper and pull it out too. By Series 4, these tearaway flaps were removed to discourage in-store theft.

The Blind Bag Mystery Figures have individual ID numbers that allow you to tell what toy is inside. For Series 1 and 4, these are lightly embossed (by hand, strangely) on the back of the card on the bottom-right, near the pull-up flap. There are clearer, stamped-on ID codes located ''under'' the flap, though pulling them up while you're still in the store may get you in trouble. In Series 2 and 3, the ID numbers are instead properly printed onto the back of the card, near the top edge. The blindpacked portions of 5-packs and 8-packs also have hand-embossed numbers to identify the Lost Bot/Winner's Circle Bot inside, but we tell you what's in there anyway, so.

{{-}}

As each individual toy can appear in multiple multi-packs, this section is... a little more complicated than most. For each Series, we'll first list a complete roster of characters, broken down by their "tribes", then a listing of the individual packages and their contents.

===Series "1.5"===
This series features special "color change" BotBots with heat-sensitive paint, revealing splotches when warmed up. It appears to be an "add-on" to Series 1, and includes a modified Series 1 checklist.

It was revealed via Hasbro Australia's website<ref>https://shop.hasbro.com/en-au/product/transformers-botbots-toys-bakery-bytes-mystery-5-pack-series-1-collectible-color-change-figures:FD475617-D835-4087-8A4C-6984CB2B7F1F</ref>. But its lack of appearance at [[Toy Fair 2019]], as well as apparently not being included in the ''[[Transformers BotBots Official Sticker Book]]'', indicate it was originally meant to be a store [[exclusive]]; most likely [[Toys"R"Us]], as they are sold through that chain in Canada, Taiwan and Hong Kong. With that chain's US death, [[Amazon]] would eventually release the toys to US buyers (as would several smaller online outlets well before then).

{{note|This "minimum buy" arrangement '''''only''''' works if you can obtain the toys in-person and can see what you're getting. Amazon, the US distributor, does '''''not''''' allow you to pick specific items from ''BotBots'' assortments, and will send you random ones. In this instance, you are better off ordering two Lawn League packs — of which there are only two and they contain all of the toys in wave 1.5 except for the two color-changing Bakery Bytes— and a single Bakery Bytes pack, which no matter which one you get, will have said two color-changing Bakery Bytes. There's still an off chance you might get two of the same Lawn League pack, but retailer Kohl's accepts Amazon returns. Yeah, it's a pain, sorry.}}

*'''''Transformers BotBots Official Sticker Book''''' (2019)
**''Publishing date'': [[September 24]], 2019

: Published by [[Random House]], the ''[[Transformers BotBots Official Sticker Book]]'' contains over 500 stickers, with character profiles on 123 ''BotBots'' characters (including the Series 1 & 2 Bots, and the two moved from Series 1 to Series 3).

==Notes==
* The instruction leaflets (as well as the official BotBots website) provide all of the individual BotBot characters with a "Level" of between one and three stars. This corresponds to the illustrated checklist (included in every BotBots package), depicting the BotBots within a shopping mall. To make each BotBot easier to find on the checklist, the one-starred BotBots are on the ground floor, the two-starred BotBots are on the second tier, and the three-starred BotBots are on the top floor. The star rating appears to have no other purpose, and is not a reliable indicator of rarity. 3-Star bots are ''usually'' only available in a single pack, but many one-pack-only bots aren't 3-Star rated. None of this is helped by the fact that Series 2 has several discrepancies between the pack-in checklist and website's Levels for many bots.
* Promotional material for Series 1 shows two Bots who are not actually ''in'' Series 1, a baseball and a soccer ball.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmjc_F0GISU Transformers BotBots Origin Story Sing-Along on YouTube]</ref> Both were moved to later Series.
* All of the characters introduced thus far are entirely new, separate from any traditional "Generation 1" characters: a rarity in today's ''Transformers'' toy market.
* On that note, many characters have [[Autobot]] and [[Decepticon]] symbols on them (though the latter has not been found on anyone without the former also present). However, it does not appear that this is meant to indicate factional allegiance... but ''in-universe marketing''. Absolutely no mention of the Autobots, Decepticons, Cybertron, or the like is made in the promotional materials, only "energon". Several Bots like [[Skillz Punk]] have both faction symbols on them, typically in the context "Autobots vs Decepticons" branding. It looks like in this universe, "Autobots" and "Decepticons" are... well, intellectual property used to advertise products. Meta!
* ''BotBots'' easily has the highest percentage of [[female Transformer]]s in its cast of any ''Transformers'' toyline, and by a stunningly wide margin. In the first two series alone, ''39'' of the 121 characters are female. In fact, it took ''Transformers'' as a whole ''thirty years'' to approach that number of female toy-characters ''period'', and that's including [[BotCon|convention]]-exclusive offerings! (And ''not'' counting toys that had no [[bio]] upon release and were later [[retcon]]ned as female.)

Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)

2019-10-26T16:39:00Z

LV: /* Rescan Series */ No one but Hot Shot is in a show form in this set.

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

The line, which began in late [[2018]], is of course a sequel to the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]'' toyline.

==Standard retail toys==
===Rescue Bots Academy===
* Released from 2019–???.
These are larger figures, similar in size to the Megabots in the ''Rescue Bots'' line.

===Rescan Series===
The smaller Rescan were released at generally the same time as their larger counterparts. Some were reissues of the original figure, while some were redecos or retools into new characters.

===Flip Racers===

Introduced during ''Rescue Bots'', Flip Racers are simplified ''[[Bot Shots (toyline)|Bot Shot]]''-scale figures with automatic gravity-powered transformations activated by flipping the figure up or down. So far in ''Academy'', figures were available individually, or were included with larger playsets.

Stalker (ROTDS)

The '''Stalker''' is a naturalist, far more interested in observing the habits and habitats of his fellow denizens of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] than becoming involved in their war. Equipped with a [[jet pack]] and active camouflage system, he is surely far too well-equipped to run into any trouble.

==Games==
===''Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark''===
The Stalker was journeying through the ruins of [[Crystal City]], taking notes about the [[Insecticon (WFC)|insectoid protoforms]] found there, as well as their interactions with [[alloygator]]s and [[scraplet]]s. His observations were disrupted by the arrival of the [[Decepticon]]s [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] and [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], and he eagerly changed his focus to these new specimens. He watched as the Decepticons conquered the Insecticons' leaders, and then switched his attention once more, this time to the [[Autobot]]s [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]] and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] as they made their escape with the [[Dark Spark]]. He watched the Autobots' battle in the train station, but ultimately his recorder was noticed by [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and his recordings abruptly ceased. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark}}

==Notes==
*Like the [[Veteran (ROTDS)|Veteran]] (and unlike the [[Entrepreneur]]), the Stalker does not make a physical appearance. Instead, his side story is revealed through collectible audio logs. The Stalker's logs are found throughout chapters 2 and 3.
*The Stalker's voice seems to be inspired by {{w|David Attenborough}}.
*The Stalker comments that his camouflage system was worth every last [[Shanix]] he paid for it.
*It's not totally clear what happened to the Stalker; his last message records that "the smallest" of the Autobot group is headed his way and has noticed his recorder, then ends abruptly, but in-game text indicates that Perceptor was unable to decode this final log due to "significant corrosive damage", implying the involvement of an Insecticon.
