*'''Cybertronian Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Blaster rifle
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro), [[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Optimus Prime transforms from a red, blue, and silver robot into an "armored truck mode." He comes with a hand-held rifle that is held via either of its two [[5 mm post]]s, and can fold up to store in either mode. He features additional 5mm ports on his forearms, roof, and front-wheel panels. Optimus has a stylized sculpted Autobot insignia on his back, as seen in the game, but it is obscured by [[kibble]].

: An undocumented transformation step includes flipping Optimus Prime's knees out in vehicle mode to form a back bumper with tail lights. Oddly, the toy itself and the [[package art]] show Optimus Prime with four fingers on each hand, while he has 5 fingers in the video game. The vehicle mode pictured on the stock photos is minimally mis-transformed: The exhaust pipes have not been rotated to hide the indentations against the vehicle body. The instructions show the rifle being plugged in by its shorter peg, but the packaging depicts the rifle stored by its grip, which keeps the weapon higher off Prime's body, but is also more secure.

:Optimus Prime is part of the first wave of ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, but he and Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Generations|Bumblebee]] shipped ahead of their two other wavemates via [[Toys"R"Us]].

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#United|Optimus Prime Cybertron Mode]], [[Darkside Optimus Prime (United)|Darkside Optimus Prime]], and ''[[Transformers Tribute|Tribute]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Tribute|Optimus Prime]]''.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2012)
**''Series/Number:'' '''01 / #001'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[2012]]-[[December 28|12-28]]'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TG01'''
**''Accessories'': "Ion cannon"

: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, Optimus Prime is based on his ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (video game)|Fall of Cybertron]]'' design, and transforms from a robot to a Cybertronian truck and back. His ion cannon, based on a weapon seen in his concept art, can mount via either of its two 5 mm posts onto ports on his hands, forearms, back, and shoulder smokestacks. The toy is known for being oddly small for an Optimus Prime toy, especially when compared to other toys from the same line. This allows him to be more or less in scale with [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and [[Bruticus (WFC)|Bruticus]] (likewise from the same line), however. Optimus features sculpted fake wheels on his back.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the first wave of Japanese ''Generations'' toys, is noticeably shinier, casting his red and blue plastics in different, metallic shades, having much darker gray and black plastics, coating much of his red plastic in glossy metallic paint, and featuring numerous additional [[Paint operation|paint highlights]], among other deco changes.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Generations|Ultra Magnus]], and was [[redeco]]ed into [[Optimus Prime (KOU)|''Knights of Unicron'' Optimus Prime]].

:A redeco of Cybertronian Optimus Prime with a translucent red front section, additional (painted) "scratched paint" details, some red paint highlights either omitted or changed to yellow and additional yellow circuitry pattern detailing reminiscent of the jammed abilities/mode lock/EMP effect from the ''War for Cybertron'' game, available in a [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive three-pack with redecos of Cybertronian Megatron and Cybertronian Bumblebee.

*'''Matrix of Leadership SDCC Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Gun, magnet, dignity-removing wearable Matrix packaging

: ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#First Edition (2011)|Prime: First Edition]]'' Matrix of Leadership Optimus Prime converts from [[robot mode]] to his [[alternate mode|truck mode]]. He comes with a gun than he can wield with his hands, as well as peg onto his hitch in vehicle mode, with different pegs for either configuration. Similar to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|a previous Optimus Prime toy]], he features some [[Kibble#.22Faux-parts.22|faux-kibble]] in the form of his actual windshield chest being covered by sculpted panels featuring his characteristic windshield-chest. His arms are slightly longer than his original design's arms.

:This figure is an [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011. The toy comes in a packaging shaped like the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Prime|Matrix of Leadership]], which one could wear around their neck, preferably at the convention itself, so passers-by can exclaim "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT?" and then try to get one themselves. The Matrix itself comes packaged in a [[Packaging|box]] that is designed to look like Optimus Prime's chest, and opens accordingly. The chest window doors are sealed with a round magnet.

[[File:PrimeFEtoy-SDCCpackaging.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Step 1: Put Optimus Prime toy inside a wearable Matrix. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit!]]

: The toy itself is an early release of the Deluxe Class Optimus Prime toy from the later "Entertainment Pack" set (see below).

*'''Optimus Prime vs Megatron: A Rivalry Reborn''' (Entertainment Pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Gun
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro)}}

: Entertainment Pack Optimus Prime is a slight redeco of the SDCC figure, with some deco differences between the SDCC release; this version has blue on the faux windows instead of gray and some of the added silver deco on the roof/feet, as well as the yellow paint on his lights. His midriff is also darker. Optimus also comes with a similarly-scaled [[Megatron (WFC)/toys#EntertainmentPack|Megatron]] and PVC figurines of [[Jack Darby#EntertainmentPack|Jack Darby]], [[Miko Nakadai#EntertainmentPack|Miko Nakadai]], and [[Raf Esquivel#EntertainmentPack|Raf Esquivel]].

: Initial distribution of this set was... spotty at best, with most of the stock going to Canada. However, [[Toys"R"Us]] picked up this set, along with most of the "First Edition" line, as part of a ''huge'' block of US market [[exclusive]]s for holiday season 2012.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2011)
**''Number:'' '''001'''
**''Accessories:'' "[[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] battle sword", "[[plasma cannon]]", cardboard stand
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro)}}

[[File:TF-Prime-First-Edition-Voyager-Optimus-Prime-(Second-Run).jpg|left|upright=1|thumb|''(Second run pictured)'']]
: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: First Edition'' Voyager-Class toys, Optimus Prime transforms into a truck, with a similar (but more complex) transformation to his previous Deluxe-Class toy, and features a faux-kibble window-chest panel as well as a detailed truck cab interior. He comes with a "Cybertronian battle sword" and a "plasma cannon", either of which can peg into his hands. The cannon also features a 5mm peg-hole on the underside of its barrel, allowing the sword (or any other compatible accessory) to mount there as a bayonet. They are stored in vehicle mode by pegging them onto either the 5mm-compatible trailer hitch or onto each peg-hole beside it, although the [[instructions]] tell [[you]] to peg the sword facing forwards onto the hitch, with the cannon mounting backwards onto one of the side pegs. His trailer hitch ends up on his right robot leg, and he has a fake, sculpted, equally-usable trailer hitch on his left leg. He features a cardboard stand as with all "First Edition" toys, but the weak adhesive used for its flaps means it often has trouble supporting the weight of a Voyager class figure for an extended amount of time, the top caving in as the glue gives way. As Optimus only comes with one plasma cannon and the battle sword, one can buy an extra copy for another.

: He is minimally mistransformed in-package and in the [[Stock photography|stock photo]], as his shoulder guards aren't flipped open. His stock photography also shows his plasma cannon as being solid black, when the final cannon is black speckled with silver paint, with slightly more painted silver details on the tips of the barrels.

:The Japanese release of this figure features slightly different colors for greater [[show-accuracy]], including darker reds and blues, and a more metallic silver plastic.

:Optimus Prime also had a slight assembly problem between the head and the neck's ball joint, which causes it to pop off with some movement. This can be fixed by unscrewing the head halves, then properly snap it back before reattaching. This fix also adds some additional head articulation. Though the instructions tell you to rotate the hands while transforming into vehicle mode, this may result in a very slight gap on the front hood panels. Leaving the hands untransformed can thoroughly shut the gaps.

: The First Edition Voyagers were never released in the US, forcing buyers to import him from Canada or Japan... at first. [[Toys"R"Us]] later picked up this toy, along with most of the "First Edition" line, as part of a ''huge'' block of US market [[exclusive]]s for holiday season 2012. This second run introduced a [[Variant#Colors and deco|deco variant]], in which the red paint on, beside, and below the truck side windows is omitted, revealing the patch of brown plastic underneath. As he is packaged in robot mode, with his front wheels and shoulders covering said patch, the only way to identify which version is which while in the box is by looking at the hinge joints beside his two painted torso lights, with the center portions of the hinges being unpainted brown on the variant. All releases of this mold also have a minor issue with the truck mode windvane/robot mode heels refusing to connect solidly to the truck cab in vehicle mode, leaving a visible gap above Prime's windshield.

: Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be aware, there is a premium [[IP theft|knock-off]] that's been making the rounds since October 2019.

: One of two exclusive toys at the [[Tokyo Toy Show]] 2012 held on [[June 16]]th and [[June 17|17th]] (the other being [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#UnitedBlack|''United'' Black Optimus Prime]]), this is the First Edition Prime mold (see above) done up mostly in translucent plastics. He comes in a grayscale version of the First Edition packaging that is otherwise unchanged from the Japanese package, The figure's deco is identical to the Hasbro version's second run of the figure.

: This Japanese-exclusive black-and-gold redeco of First Edition Voyager Class Optimus Prime was available exclusively at the fourteen stores taking part in the [[Cybertron Satellite]] promotion. It depicts Prime coated in an alloy reverse-engineered by Ratchet from MECH equipment that protects Optimus against Dark Energon and other techno-biological hazards.

:In 2014, Dark Guard Optimus Prime was re-released as a lucky draw prize for the ''Transformers Celebration 2014'' event held at Ikebukuro Sunshine City store's Toys"R"Us.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cyberverse Commander, 2012)
**''Series / Number'': '''2 / 001'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[March 31]], 2012'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-01'''
**''Accessories'': 2 "battle cannons"
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 2|Series 2 ''Cyberverse'']] Commander Class toys, Optimus Prime is a smaller-scale toy, and features translucent plastic for his torso so that the toy can be illuminated using the electronic lights featured in the larger playsets. He comes with two translucent "battle cannon" weapons which feature multiple [[C joint|3mm posts and port]]s, allowing them to be held by his hands, or store/mount onto numerous ports on his person. Additionally, he features a 5mm port for a trailer hitch.

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

:Like many other modern toys, Optimus was designed with an alternate head sculpt (based on the [[mouthplate]]-less face as seen on the show) intended for a later retool, which was [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the original head. At least one specimen sporting the mouthplate-less head has been found at retail, although since this occurrence has seemingly been limited to an isolated incident, it can be assumed to be a [[quality control|manufacturing error]] rather than a genuine [[variant]].<ref name="cvvari">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/cyberverse-optimus-prime-unmasked-variant-174184/ TFW2005 reporting] on the head sculpt "variant" for Cyberverse Commander Class Optimus Prime.</ref> The mouthplate-less head sculpt ''was'' eventually used officially for a later-[[wave]] redeco, Nightwatch Optimus Prime (see below).

:Take note that the leg construction (thigh parts with legs consists of rear wheels/fifth wheel hitch & engine compartment/flip out legs combination) can become loose after a long time of play due to being used with transformation. Also, the legs did not seem to securely connect due to the hitch's shallow holes & the front half of the legs' small pegs. Also, attaching weapons with 3mm posts on the Battle Cannons' holes can cause some stress marks.

:This sculpt was later retooled to make ''Beast Hunters Cyberverse'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#BHCyberverse|Ultra Magnus]].

**''Series / Number'': '''2 / 008'''
**''Accessories'': 2 "battle swords"
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the third wave of ''Prime Cyberverse'' Commander Class toys, Nightwatch Optimus Prime is a redeco of Series 2 ''Cyberverse'' Optimus Prime, using the faceplate-less head sculpt that is [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the original head. His blue plastic is now gray, his smokestacks and thighs are left unpainted, he loses the Autobot insignia on his right forearm/door, and he gains yellow paint highlights for his eyes and lights, along with various other minor deco differences. Instead of the original release's cannons, he now comes with a pair of swords, which each have a pair of 3mm posts for wielding/mounting.

*'''Autobot Set''' (EZ Collection 6-pack, [[November 24]], 2012)
**''ID number'': '''EZ-SP1'''
**''Accessories'': 2 "battle cannons"

: This redeco of Optimus Prime uses the faceplate-less version of the mold's head and replaces his red plastic with a metallic shade. Apart from this, the metallic red paint on the side cabins/backpack & the front windows/chest does not match with the metallic red plastic. The entirety of the dark gray unpaintable plastic is also replaced with a lighter shade, which also resulted in the tires being cast in the same shade.

:He was only available in a TakaraTomy ''[[EZ Collection]]'' six-pack with [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#EZ6pack|Bumblebee]], [[Ratchet (WFC)#EZ6pack|Ratchet]], [[Bulkhead (Prime)#EZ6pack|Bulkhead]], [[Arcee (WFC)#EZ6pack|Arcee]], and [[Wheeljack (Prime)#EZ6pack|Wheeljack]]. Optimus is slightly mis-transformed in-package, probably to fit in the plastic tray. The stock photos still depict his tires being black.

**''Series / Number'': '''3 / 001'''
**''Accessories'': Launcher & missile (combine to form Thunder Lance), [[Star Saber (Thirteen)#BHCyberverse|Star Saber]]
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: [[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Beast Hunters (2013)|Beast Hunters]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 3|Series 3 ''Cyberverse'']] Commander Class toys, Optimus Prime is an all-new mold. He now transforms into a monstrous, flat-nosed truck with spiky fenders at the front and a cage compartment at the back, and comes with the Thunder Lance and Star Saber. Each of the weapons features two differently-placed 3mm posts, allowing them to be held by his hands, or mount onto two ports on the rear vehicle sides, as well as allowing the lance to additionally be used as a pressure-fired missile launcher.

: Undocumented in the instructions, Optimus Prime's front fenders can flip up or down. Probably due to the very small eye holes or a rare case of paint error; All of the copies had the bright metallic blue paint applied onto his lower eye sockets as well. This is present to all of the redecoes below. Likewise, a sculpting/molding issue is present to ''all'' releases of this mold: The lower section of his faceplate is ''slightly'' lopsided.

**''Accessories'': Launcher & missile (combine to form Thunder Lance), [[Star Saber (Thirteen)#Target2pack|Star Saber]]

: Part of the "[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Exclusives 2|Predacons Rising]]" [[subline imprint]], Optimus Prime is a redeco of his Series 3 ''Cyberverse'' Commander Class toy in a color scheme inspired by both [[Thunder Clash]] and ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Optimus Prime]], including a version of the two's winged chest insignia. He comes in a two-pack with a purple and black redeco of Commander Class [[Predaking (Prime)#Target2pack|Predaking]].

: Like all ''Predacons Rising'' releases, the Optimus Prime/Predaking two-pack was [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores in the United States and Canada and to [[Tesco]] stores in the UK, and is also supposed to be exclusive to Carrefour elsewhere in Europe (presumably in France and/or Spain, though there have been no sightings as of yet). It has also been found at Rossmann drug stores in Germany and Ripley stores in Chile and popped up at BigW stores in Australia ''much'' later, in mid-2014. Also, like all ''Predacons Rising'' multi-pack redecos of ''Beast Hunters'' Cyberverse figures, the ''Cyberverse'' logo is nowhere to be found on the packaging.

: A Bic Camera and Joshin Kids Land exclusive, this redeco is the first release of the ''Prime: First Edition'' Deluxe class Optimus Prime figure in Japan, in desaturated hues of plastic (the [[stock photography]] provided by TakaraTomy showed Orion Pax's red plastic as more pink than its original toy, this seems to have been a trick of the lighting or a photoshop). He has fewer paint applications than other iterations of the toy, instead utilizing customer-applied foil stickers, including both Autobot and Decepticon insignias of varying sizes.

: While he retains the blaster-cannon accessory, instead of his normal sword, he comes with a gold vac-metal version of the [[Arms Micron]] [[R.A.#Orion|R.A.]], who originally came with [[Ratchet (WFC)/toys#Robots in Disguise|Ratchet]].

{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Voyager Class toys, Optimus Prime is a smaller, slightly more [[Articulation|articulated]] mold, and is the first mainline ''Prime'' Optimus Prime figure released ''not'' to have fake windshield windows on his chest, though they're upside-down relative to truck-mode.

: He now comes with a half-translucent gun which lights up and expands [[MechTech]]-style when the lever is pulled. Bizarrely, the main section of the weapon is sculpted to resemble Prime's forearm, with the unfolding part being his in-show gun. Additionally, he comes with an opaque sword resembling the [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|Star Saber]], which he can wield two-handed. The gun features a peg on its underside and a port on each side, while the sword features a peg and peg-hole on its hilt in addition to its 5mm handle. In robot mode, either accessory can mount on his hands, on either of his shoulders, or be pegged into either of his half-translucent forearms. In vehicle mode, the top of the vehicle mode cab can also fold back to reveal two additional peg holes, and there are three peg holes (including the fifth wheel hitch) on the back section, although the hitch tends to open up and not hold very well.

: Unlike previous Voyager Class MechTech weapons, the gun cannot be set to stay expanded. This means that Prime is forced to threaten Decepticons with a random block of parts, unless you want to use one of your hands to permanently unfold his weapon.

: As the red parts are entirely painted translucent blue, exercise some caution while transforming or posing him.

: The [[TakaraTomy]] release of Optimus Prime has considerable differences from the [[Hasbro]] release. His blue and red plastics are darker and metallic, his translucent blue plastic is darker, and a few of his [[paint operation]]s have been omitted and replaced with customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s, such as his shins, feet, headlamps, and [[insignia]]s. His legs, outer forearms and truck mode "sleeper cabin" side panels have been [[retool]]ed to include [[5 mm post]]-holes as part of the line-wide "[[Arms Micron]]" gimmick. As such, he does not come with the Hasbro version's weapons, but instead an Arms Micron partner named [[O.P.]] who transforms into a weapon resembling Optimus's in-show blaster cannon.

: AM-01 Optimus was part of a number of special Arms Micron [[campaign item|promotional giveaways]]. Between [[March 1]]st and [[March 30]]th 2012, those who pre-ordered Optimus online from through one of four different web sites ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon Japan]], [[Toys"R"Us]], Bic Camera, and Yodobashi Camera) received the bonus promotional Micron [[Firebolt (G1)#Preorder|Firebolt]] with their Prime. Meanwhile, buying him from [[AEON]] stores got customers the [[R.A.#Shadow|Shadow R.A.]] toy.

: The Hasbro version of the mold was retooled to make ''Beast Hunters'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Beast Hunters|Ultra Magnus]], using the forearms of the TakaraTomy version. The Takara version of the mold was used to make ''Prime'' [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Weaponizer, 2012)
**''TakaraTomt name'': '''Arms Master Optimus'''
**''TakaraTomy release date:'' [[September 29]] 2012
**''TakaraTomy ID Number:'' '''AM-21'''
**''Accessories'': Rifle (Hasbro only), "R.A." Arms Micron & Matrix Blade (TakaraTomy only)

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Robots in Disguise'' Weaponizer Class toys, Optimus Prime is a large toy, similar in size to Leader Class figures from previous ''Transformers'' toylines. He features a simpler transformation and design compared to previous Leader-sized figures, with him having fake chest windows (again) and a simplified, hollow truck rear where his feet, arms, and fake chest windows are plainly visible. He comes with a blaster that can mount onto his hands, shoulder-pads, and the sides of his legs/truck rear.

: His ''main'' gimmicks, however, are the two large, blue-and-white mini-guns hidden in his back/hood, which can deploy and "weaponize" either mode. When deployed, the mini-guns swing out from his back/hood and spin, while a red LED inside his torso lights up briefly. The mini-guns swing down to the sides of his head in robot mode, and can also be deployed in vehicle mode when one manually opens the grille. Pushing down on the red lever on the center his torso (in either mode) briefly lights up the LED again and swings the mini-guns back into their hiding places.

: The Hasbro version of this mold was retooled to make ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Platinum Edition|Ultra Magnus]].

: The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the seventh wave of Japanese ''Prime'' toys, is dubbed '''Arms Master Optimus''', uses darker, metallic plastics, casts the backs of his thighs in metallic red, replaces his metallic silver paint with glossy gray, and replaces a few of his paint operations with customer-applied foil stickers, such as his insignias, shins, headlamps, the ''tiny'' yellow lights on his torso, and the blue deco on his truck panel sides. He has also been retooled with additional [[5 mm post]]s for his thighs, roof, and lower backpack, as well as ports for his forearms, shoulders, smokestacks, fuel tanks, and roof. Instead of the rifle, he comes with a very large [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#ArmsMaster|Matrix]] which can tab onto his chest as armor or mount onto the back of the truck cab, with the Matrix also being covered in 5 mm posts and holes so that Arms Microns can be attached to it. He additionally comes with a clear-blue "Shining" version of the Arms Micron, [[R.A.#ArmsMaster|R.A.]], who can combine with the Matrix to form the colossal [[Star Saber (Thirteen)#ArmsMaster|Matrix Saber]].

: Arms Master Optimus was central to a number of [[campaign item|promotional giveaways]]. A larger version of the cardboard trailer unit that came with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#BattleShield|Battle Shield Optimus Prime]] was given away to customers who bought him at Yodobashi Camera and Bic Camera stores. Purchasing him from [[AEON]] stores got you a ''second'' version of R.A., [[R.A.#ShiningGR|Shining R.A. GR]]. Then in mid-November, AEON had a second promotion for the toy, this time offering the [[Gura#Shining|Shining Gura B]] Arms Micron.

**''Series/Number'': '''2 / 001'''
**''Accessories:'' Two "Ionic Pulse Launchers"/"Eaglefire Missile Launchers", two missiles, [[Star Saber (Thirteen)#BHVoyager|Star Saber]]

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Voyager Class toys, Optimus Prime transforms into a monstrous, flat-nosed truck, but differs from his Cyberverse toy by having a faceplate-less mouth, and by being equipped with a large four-winged backpack in robot mode. He features a 5mm port for each of his hands, one on his backpack, one near each of his front wheels, and one on each of his two upper wings.

:He comes with the Star Saber, which has a 5mm handle and a post on its hilt, as well as two spring-loaded, missile-firing "[[Ionic Pulse Launcher]]s" (which are called "Eaglefire Missile Launchers" in the instructions). The launchers each feature a 5 mm post, have flip open prods, and can peg onto the ports near the wheels on his robot back, giving him a pair of back-mounted rocket engines.

:Some units have a waist [[Swivel joint|swivel]] that is somehow fixed in place, and is unable to rotate. His packaging stock photography also depicts translucent green missiles that are opaque light-gray in the final product. His instructions include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 5|fifth chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series.

:He was redecoed into ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]'' Hunter Optimus Prime and ''Go!'' [[Hunter Nemesis Prime]]. This toy also served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Galvatron (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Galvatron]].

*'''Beast Hunter Optimus Prime''' (Ultimate, 2013)
**''Accessories:'' Dragon-hunting sword, dragon-hunting shield, five missiles
{{toydesigner|[[Lenny Panzica]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Ultimate Class toys, Beast Hunter Optimus Prime is larger than the average Weaponizer or Leader Class toy, and comes with a sword and shield which can mount via 5 mm post in various ways on his hands, forearms, and legs.

:His main [[gimmick]], however, is his quintet of "[[Firebreath Cyclocannons]]"—spring-loaded dragon-headed missile launchers mounted on an ornate, rotating circular contraption attached to his back/roof. Turning the handle on top makes the backpack rotate and cycle through each cannon, and pressing the handle's button will trigger and fire whatever cannon is at the top/front. When the cannons are cycled through in robot mode, his eyes and windshield-chest light up, and one can alternatively rotate (but not fire) the cannons and activate his light-up features by pushing down on the fake spiky fenders on his stomach. Out of the package, the handle itself comes detached to allow the rest of the toy to fit.

:His stock photography depicts his three green missiles as translucent when they are opaque in the final product. His instructions include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 17|seventeenth chapter]] of the ''Tales of the Beast Hunters'' series. This toy was originally announced at UK Toy Fair 2013 as "Dragon Disc Optimus Prime".

:His sword would later be reused for Unite Warriors [[Grand Scourge#Unite Warriors|Grand Scourge]]'s [[Matrix Breaker]] Sword, and [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Arcee]]'s [[Combiner Slayer]] from the SDCC Exclusive Combiner Hunters set.

: This version of Ultimate Class Beast Hunter Optimus Prime is exclusive to [[Cybertron Con 2013]]. While Prime itself is unchanged, he has been packaged in the box with his backpack plugged into his back, allowing the cannons to rotate when his spiky stomach-fenders are pushed down. The box itself also has slightly different text and graphical layouts, is encased in a large, slip-on outer covering, and features a designated number as part of the ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' line.

:This version was only available in a two-pack with an ever-so-slightly more redecoed Voyager Class [[Predaking (Prime)#Optimus|Predaking]], which has thus far only been released at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in Portugal, the United Kingdom and Germany.

**''Series/Number'': '''3 / 001'''
**''Accessories:'' Nexus Sword, Vector Shield, cannon, missile
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''Beast Hunters'' Series 3 Voyager Class toys, Optimus Prime is functionally an upsized copy of his ''Beast Hunters'' Series 3 ''Cyberverse'' toy, though with certain sculpted details based on his larger toys, the replacement of his ball joints with more robust [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s, the addition of thigh [[Swivel joint|swivel]]s, and various deco differences. As a result, his complexity is lower than in his previous Voyager Class toys, but he ends up being much, ''much'' more massive.

:For accessories, he comes with (according to his bio) "the ancient weapons of the Primes", such as his Nexus Sword (a reference to [[Nexus Prime]]), the Vector Shield (an upscaled, non-transforming version of the shield from his [[#BBladeCyberverse|''Cyberverse'' "Beast Blade" toy]], and a reference to [[Vector Prime]]), as well as a generic cannon with a pressure-fired missile. All of his accessories can peg into his hands, right forearm, backside, and vehicle sides.

:The Nexus Sword is similar to the one included with the original Voyager ''Beast Hunters'' Optimus Prime toy, but is shorter and less detailed.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)

:Optimus Prime transforms into a red and blue semi truck of likely fictitious origin. In keeping with the simplified [[Transformation|transformation scheme]] of the Rescue Bots line, Optimus Prime transforms from truck to robot when [[Autotransformation|his legs are folded down]], at which point his head, arms, and hands emerge; folding his toes into position will finish the transformation.

:Of note is that on some samples, the head can sometimes lock into position even when the figure is in robot mode; this could be observed simply by walking into a store and seeing multiple "headless" Prime figures. This can occasionally be corrected by pushing down on the back of the panel or tapping the head, thereby releasing it.

**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Megatron, Security Officer, Tank Driver
**''Accessories'': Energon axe

: This set's Optimusses are based on the ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|incarnation]]. The larger Optimus is a smaller, simpler build than the first big kit, and makes use of ball-and-socket parts for increased articulation. It also carries a spring-loaded missile launcher. The Optimus Kreon's [[tampograph]]s are based directly on the ''Prime'' cartoon model, though he carries an energon axe akin to the one from the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' games. He also has a clear-blue extra "energon" torso piece.

: This set also comes with a [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] tank/robot build, a miniature bank playset with opening/breakaway vault to hold the set's "[[ultimate Dark Energon weapon]]" piece (though it also contains stickers that can make the bank into a museum), and Kreons of ''Prime''-styled Megatron, a human [[Security Officer (Kre-O)|Security Officer]] and evil human [[Tank Driver]].

In addition to the robot mode having a buildable shield and sword, both it and the vehicle build have two firing missile launchers.

**''Pieces'': '''189'''

:The "[[Underbite Jetpack Takedown]]" Optimus Kreon uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Based on his appearance in ''Robots in Disguise'', he features a new version of the Optimus helmet, this time lacking a moutplate. He attaches to an included jet pack, armed with two pressure-launch missiles.

: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.

: Optimus got his own large vehicle set, featuring a giant longnosed cab truck with space on the back to connect the included "[[Stasis pod#2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon|stasis cell]]" for transport. That "flatbed" part is rigged to be pushed forward, which pushes a large cannon forward out through the truck's front grill; pushing the cannon ''all'' the way forward automatically launches the massive rubber-tipped missile. The smokestacks are also hinged to swing down into "machinegun" mode.

: The set comes with another Optimus Kreon, plus [[Fracture (RID)#Kre-O|Fracture]] (who comes with a hoverbike vehicle) and micro-Kreon Mini-Cons [[Airazor (RID)#Kre-O|Airazor]] and [[Divebomb (RID)#Kre-O|Divebomb]].

: This set was first released in Taiwan and Singapore from January 2015, and later in Canada from May 2015. It was only released in the US in late 2015 through closeout chains like Ross and TJ Maxx.

**''Pieces'':'''27'''
**''Accessories'': Rack, bazooka, dual pick-axe

:Part of the sixth wave of Custom Kreons, and the first (and only) ''Robots in Disguise''-themed wave, Optimus Prime uses the new 2015 Kreon construction with the hollow waist-peg and "raised" hands.. He comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his extra pieces. Unlike the previous Custom Kreons, he no longer features a chromed helmet, and comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso, legs, and his arms, plus a chromed Bazooka (originally from the Kre-O Battleship sets), and some kind of a dual pick-axe with a clear red staff.

:Despite what the instructions said, the body piece ''cannot'' be pegged down between the leg parts installed on the display stand. However this can be amended by putting a 2x1 brick piece.

:For some reason: unlike the stock photos (pictured from the right), This Custom Kreon had a slight [[Quality control|QC]] issue to the opaque and transparent helmets: One had two sides sculpted, while the other one has the small flat square sculpt (similar to the details on Hound's helmet) on the right side. Several samples had two different "variants": One with the perfect transparent helmet & a differently-sculpted opaque helmet, while the other one has the opposite.

{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Junichi Akutsu]] (concept artist)}}
{{picsneeded|combined modes}}

: Part of the eighth wave of ''Go!'' toys, Optimus Exprime is capable of changing from a robot to either a train or (something resembling) a [[Popular beast alternate modes#Dragons|dragon]] and back again. He can also form the torso of either DaiKenzan (with [[Kenzan]] forming the upper torso, head, and arms and [[Gekisoumaru]] forming the legs) or DaiGekisou (With Kenzan and Gekisoumaru reversed from their roles in DaiKenzan).

: While not mentioned in his instructions, the train sections which normally hang off his arms can be reversed and his dragon claws can be flipped out to give him a passable set of combat claws.

: Each of his kabuto helmets forms the head for one of the two combined modes. In addition, either of his kabuto helmets can be connected to his robot mode back (allowing his swords to also be stored on his back), and both can be connected to the rear of his train mode simultaneously. In robot mode or combined mode, his kabuto helmets can be held individually as a shield or combined into an even larger shield.

: Optimus Exprime's electronics are slightly less complex than those of Kenzan and Gekisoumaru. In robot, dragon, and train modes, pressing a button sets off red flashing LEDs and causes him to play one of seven sounds or phrases (which do not change depending on the mode). Pressing and holding the button activates a combination mode similar to the ones found in Kenzan and Gekisoumaru. Optimus Exprime calls on Kenzan and Gekisoumaru to combine with him, and then combination music plays as the LEDs flash blue, purple, and red (with the two halves of his [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] showing different colors!). Completing either combination by snapping the correct kabuto helmet into place ends the combination mode and triggers another phrase.

: Once combined, DaiKenzan has three new phrases (spoken in Kenzan's voice), while DaiGekisou has four (in Gekisoumaru's voice). In either combined form, pressing and holding the button activates an additional, longer phrase for their "final attack". DaiGekisou is armed with a scissors-esque "shuriken" made from combining Optimus Exprime's two swords, while DaiKenzan simply wields them separately.

: Unlike the other [[Swordbot]] toys, Optimus Exprime's kabuto helmets form an integral part of one of his [[alternate mode]]s. The kabuto helmet designed for use with his DaiGekisou combination forms the head of his dragon form, while the kabuto helmet designed for use with his DaiKenzan combination forms the "tail" of the same. He comes with two HUGE swords (with [[5 mm post|5mm]] handles) which can be attached to several places on his kabuto helmets or either alternate form, held separately in his hands, or held both in the same hand (with one held in reverse-grip).

: An additional oddity is that unlike every other toy in the Go! toyline, Optimus Exprime came packaged in a box without a window. This is potentially because of the sheer amount of information TakaraTomy wanted to print on the box, or because they were unable to fit him into the box in robot mode with all of his accessories displayed. Whatever the reason, it left him with a smaller box than the other voyagers in the line, a substantially-altered box layout, and a much shorter profile.

: His robot mode feet are sculpted to resemble itty-bitty versions of his bullet train mode, complete with molded wheels.

: Optimus Exprime's swords were later reused for [[Bludgeon (G1)#Combiner Wars|Figure Subscription Service 4.0 Bludgeon]].

: Part of the first wave of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] line, Optimus Prime is a smaller-scale toy. He transforms from robot to trailer/truck combination and back! Like every ''Robots in Disguise'' Legion Class toy, Optimus features 3mm posts on his hands and arms. Due to the size and simplified transformation, he ends up having 6 wheels instead of 10. His scannable Autobot insignia is on his robot mode left shoulder. However, the badge is completely impossible to scan in vehicle mode.

:[[:File:RID2015-Legion-Optimus-Prime.jpg|The prototype images]] showed that Optimus features sharp antennae on his head. This was rounded off [[for safety reasons]] in the final product.

:This mold was redecoed into [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Robots in Disguise (2015)|Ultra Magnus]].

:In 2016, the figure saw re-release in the ''[[Combiner Force]]'' [[subline imprint]] packaging refresh. Being the ''tenth'' use of the sculpt at this point, some instances of mold deterioration have affected the figure, including: the vehicle front's bumper (which affects the space on the head/front bumper transformation), the headlights, and/or the legs, and the hole on the left shoulder is also prone to develop a stress mark due to the right shoulder's slightly "thickened" peg. Although the re-released badge didn't seem to unlock Optimus Prime after it was scanned, a later update to the game amended this.

:Also, the ''Combiner Force'' re-release's instructions were erroneously packed with [[Heatseeker#Legion|Heatseeker]].

*'''Power Surge Optimus Prime''' (Warrior Class, 2016-2017)
**''Accessories:'' 2 swords, axe, launcher

:Power Surge Optimus Prime is a retool of the original Warrior Class Optimus Prime figure, now transforming into a 6-wheeled futuristic trailer truck. Optimus now also comes with a pair of swords, which can be attached to his 5mm-compatible hands or the top of the truck/back port to serve as the robot's wings. Most notably, Power Surge Optimus Prime features retooled truck hood/shoulder parts to makes the hands more evident. As a retool of the original Warrior Class Optimus Prime toy, he retains his axe accessory, albeit unpainted just like the ''Clash of the Transformers'' Warrior Class toy's. His light blue-colored Launcher can be attached onto his collar.

:Like the original Warrior Class Optimus Prime, the figure features an undocumented feature: His axe can be stored on his vehicle mode trailer. Additional features include storing the axe onto either of his leg hooks, combining the launcher with either of the swords at their hilt, and storing the launcher underneath the vehicle. In a neat bit of engineering, he can fully transform with his swords attached.

:Power Surge Optimus Prime's scannable Autobot insignia is on his robot mode left shoulder. As he's packaged in robot mode, this badge is easily scannable while still in-package. Like his wavemate Bumblebee, this figure eventually saw release in the 11th wave of the Warrior Class line with the "Combiner Force" packaging. His scannable sticker is also altered, but scanning the badge only unlocks Energon currency, but not the character. This ''also'' applies to the original release's badge, but it unlocks eight Ultra Sparks instead.

:First released as part of the seventh wave of the Warrior Class assortment under the ''Mini-Con Weaponizers'' subline imprint, Power Surge Optimus Prime was later re-released in the ''Combiner Force'' subline imprint packaging refresh.

:This retooled mold was also used to make [[Nemesis Prime (RID)#TAV56|another Nemesis Prime]].

*'''Mega Optimus Prime''' (2015)

:Mega Optimus Prime is a new larger-sized mold with the similar [[transformation scheme]] from the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Hyper Change HeroeS.S.F3-Step Changers|3-Step Changer]] toy. It transforms from truck to robot in just 3 easy steps! His deco is based on his appearance in the season finale "Battlegrounds". He also obtains additional articulation on the arms, and sports connector ports for any ''Robots in Disguise (2015)'' Mini-Con figures.

:Like the 3-step changer figure, his scannable Autobot insignia is on his robot mode chest/truck hood. The badge is easily scannable while in package.

:While stock photos of his American packaging give this figure the name "Mega 1-Step Optimus Prime" (with the "1-Step" part translated into French, Spanish and Portuguese), the final product's packaging simply says "Mega Optimus Prime".

*'''Robots in Disguise Collection''' (6-pack, 2015)

:The new One-Step Optimus Prime toy transforms from a trailer truck into a robot in just one easy step! The toy features a similar transformation to the other [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#OneStep|One-Step Optimus Prime]] and [[Hound (Movie)#Robots in Disguise|One-Step Changer Movie Hound]]. The figure is only available as a "Special Edition Figure" in a 6-pack with the One-Step figures of [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#RIDCollection|Bumblebee]], [[Steeljaw (RID)#RIDCollection|Steeljaw]], [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#RIDCollection|Grimlock]], [[Sideswipe (RID)#RIDCollection|Sideswipe]], and Underbite, all of which are unchanged from their individual releases. This set was exclusive to [[Target]] stores in the United States and to [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in Canada.

:His scannable badge is featured on the left side of his trailer. Like the Legion Class figures, the badge is impossible to be scanned in robot mode. Due to how the legs are molded, Optimus Prime can ride on [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Stomp .26 Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]], but does not activate any of the larger figure's gimmicks.

:Part of the first wave of the "Mini-Con Weaponizers" [[subline imprint]], this One-Step Changer figure of Optimus Prime is a new sculpt. In the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], it was identified alternatively as an "Advanced One-Step" or "Evolved One-Step" figure depending on the user's region, but on the toy's packaging, no such modifiers are featured, and it is available as part of the regular One-Step Changer assortment.

:Part of 9th wave of One-Step Changers, and the first of the Combiner Force subline, this Optimus Prime is yet another new mold, with a different transformation scheme (a similar engineering to ''Age of Extinction''{{'}}s Bumblebee) consisting of pulling the switch on the back (do ''not'' hold the truck kibble when you transform him). Like most One-Step Changers, Optimus Prime features limited articulation on the shoulders, and features 5mm compatible hands.

:His scannable badge is on the right side of his vehicle mode's trailer kibble, accessible while in-package. This Optimus cannot ride on [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Stomp .26 Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]] due to how the legs are molded.

*'''Optimus Prime vs. Decepticon Bludgeon''' (Mini-Con Battle Pack, 2015)
**''Accessories'': Battle Axe, 5 armor pieces (combine to form into a weapon)
:Part of the first wave of ''Mini-Con Battle Pack'' figures, this Optimus Prime figure is about the size of a Scout Class figure (In Optimus's case, the size of ''Cyberverse'' Commander figure), and scaled with Legion Class figures. Its transformation scheme also takes some cues from the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Legion Class|Legion Class figure]]. Battle Pack Optimus Prime also features a transparent orange battle axe & armor pieces, although the chest armor/flip-up mask piece is needed to be assembled first. The included pieces can be combined into a clawed battle axe, or attached to his body to form his armor (although the flip-up mask can restrict his head articulation). Optimus Prime can totally wield the axe dual-handed. As an undocumented feature, the axe can be stored on his truck mode with the tab featured on Prime's right shoulder.

:The figure seems to have some transformation scheme & design related problems in it: The front truck cab's upper two pieces are supposed to be pushed to the front in robot mode, but the piece keeps collapsing back due to looseness when the figure is standing straight (Though pressing the two halves together firmly tends to reduce this issue for a while), while the tab underneath the truck grill does not connect well with the bottom port. Additionally, his 5mm compatible hands have a slight problem with wielding weapons with short 5 mm posts.

:Optimus Prime was also packaged with [[Bludgeon (RID 2015)|Bludgeon]], a Cyclone Mini-Con which is designed to be launched from the [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] [[Crazybolt (RID)#Toys|Crazybolt]] and [[Overload (RID)#Toys|Overload]] toys.

:His scannable Autobot insignia is in his left shoulder. While accessible in Robot Mode (and in-package), the badge is impossible to be scanned in vehicle mode.

:This mold was also used to make [[Toys"R"Us Prime|Geoffrey Prime]].

**''Japanese Release Date'': 2016-[[June 25|06-25]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TAV50'''
**''Accessories'': Sword
:Power Surge Optimus Prime is roughly the size of a Leader Class figure, and transforms into a truck in 7 steps. It comes with the [[Mini-Con]] [[Aerobolt]], who transforms from a bird to his chestplate. This triggers electronic lights and sounds, as well as deploying a mask, two shoulder cannons, and a pair of large wings for the larger robot. He is packaged with his front truck kibble detached from his body so he can fit inside his packaging properly.

:The toy was originally solicited as '''Gigawatt Optimus Prime''' in the Robots in Disguise Mobile Game.

:The ''Adventure'' release of the toy is named '''Hyper Surge Optimus Prime''', and it features a plastic color & extensive paint applications which is inspired by his ''Generation 1'' counterpart's colors.

* '''Strongarm and Optimus Prime''' (Crash Combiners, 2016/2017)
:Part of the first wave of the ''Combiner Force'' assortment, Optimus is a roughly Scout-class sized figure that changes from his futuristic truck with a combiner chest that doubles as his spoiler into a robot in <s>three</s> four extremely simple steps. His individual robot mode only has limited articulation on his shoulders. He also has a little green arrow above the connector on the truck bumper indicating where to crash him to combine with other figures. A 5 mm post hole on top of his vehicle mode can accommodate a compatible accessory or Weaponizer Minicon, though he cannot use it in his individual robot mode.

:Optimus Prime comes packaged with [[Strongarm (RID)#Crash Combiners|Strongarm]] and is intended to combine with her to form [[Primestrong]]'s upper torso. Connecting them to each other will activate Optimus Prime's automatic transformation, but Strongarm must be converted manually. He can also combine with any other Crash Combiner figure to form a random Combiner.

:Although no scannable badge is located at his robot mode, the badge was located at his combined mode's left shoulder. The badge was impossible to be scanned while in-package due to the obstruction of the spring-loaded combiner chest kibble. Speaking of impossible, the badges on the re-releases of the toy can't be scanned by the game. The instruction sheet amusingly replaces Optimus's last picture in the transformation process with [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]].

Like the previous versions, Optimus Prime can become the top half of any Crash Combiner gestalt, though his official combination is with Grimlock as [[Primelock]].

: The instructions also separated the transformation schemes on the flip-out head and the chest as the 3rd & 4th step. Also, unlike the first toy, Optimus Prime's lower chin is not entirely painted.

:This two-pack was a very late addition to the ''Robots in Disguise'' line, with a Hasbro product code number in the same region as the wave 1 Prime Masters from ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]''.

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TAV21'''
**''Accessories'': Small Axe, Small Black Blaster, Bumblebee's Sword, Strongarm's Crossbow, Jazz's Lance, Drift's Sword

:Available only for the Japanese markets, this Optimus Prime is a large figure that stands around the same height as a ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' gestalt, and he transforms from a futuristic trailer truck to robot and back. The figure features 3 gimmicks:
:*Pressing the button on his robot mode chest activates the red lights (well, because the blue ones are expensive for the price point) on his chest, and the sounds and voice phrases (provided by [[Taitem Kusunoki]]) were played along with the light-up gimmick. Pressing the button for a few seconds will activate his long voice line with transformation sounds.
:*Pressing the two gray pieces on his arms makes the spring-loaded 5mm-compatible Decepticon Hunter hilt pop out from his hands.
:*Turning the dial on his left shoulder will feature a normal Autobot Insignia, and ''two'' Scan-badges.

:Optimus Prime also has a sculpted translucent Matrix panel inside his chest that lights up when his electronics are activated.

:The figure also features a hollow trailer, fit for the Warrior Class-sized toys. The trailer can also be converted into a battle station. Because of the toy's design & transformation, he is kinda show-accurate. Optimus also features 5mm-compatible ports on his trailer, arms, shoulders, legs, knees, waist armor, and the pop-out Decepticon Hunters. He also includes a number of soft rubbery weapons such as his signature axe, the sword, the crossbow, the lance, the katana-like sword, and the black blaster (the only one molded in hard plastic). The weapons can also be combined with the Decepticon Hunters into a dual-bladed weapon, or store into the trailer's inner panels. The weapons can also be wielded by any Warrior Class figures, although the accessories are associated with Bumblebee, Grimlock, Sideswipe, Strongarm, Jazz, & Drift.

:The two badges on his left shoulder are compatible with TakaraTomy's ''Transformers Chronicle'' app.

:Unlike the Hasbro release, the toy features no scan-badges on the toy, instead it was printed on one small card, along with the other three badges. Optimus Prime was released as a four-pack along with [[Steeljaw (RID)#TAV35|Steeljaw]], [[Underbite#TAV35|Underbite]], and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#TAV35|Grimlock]].

He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

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

{{toydesigner|[[Evan Brooks]] (Hasbro), [[Koki Yamada]] (TakaraTomy)}}<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpi_le8uDJX/ Design notes on Gamer Edition Optimus Prime] from [[Hasbro]] designer [[Evan Brooks]] on Instagram</ref>

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Studio Series]] Gamer Edition'' figures, "Gamer Edition Optimus Prime" is based on his appearance in the ''War for Cybertron'' video game and transforms into a Cybertronian truck in 22 steps. Unfortunately, the rear of the truck lacks any covering, leaving his hands ''very'' exposed from that angle. Due to his transformation, Optimus does not have the engraved Autobot insignia on his back like his game counterpart and the [[#Generations|original ''Generations'' figure]]. He has silver "windows", based on the in-game model but not the opening cinematic.

:Like other ''Studio Series Gamer Edition'' figures, his right forearm can be removed to attach his Ion Blaster or any other ''Gamer Edition'' blaster via use of a [[5 mm post]]. Unlike other ''Gamer Edition'' figures, his forearm can be stored behind his waist when not in use. The Ion Blaster is compatible with [[Fire Blast effect]]s, using a 3mm post instead of the usual 5mm port for blasters of this size. He also comes with his large battle axe, which is comprised of two handle pieces and a headpiece, as well as a 5mm compatible Matrix of Leadership accessory which is stored inside his chest cavity.

:Notably, Optimus's axe accessory has been designed so it can assume both configurations seen in the game; the larger blade can be left folded in half for a halberd-style weapon, as seen in cinematic cutscenes, or unfolded to make a double-bladed axe, as seen during actual gameplay. His shoulders can also be slid out and the transformation hinges used as butterfly joints to aid in posing with the large axe.

:For storage in vehicle mode, the blaster attaches on the truck bed while the axe head slots on top of the blaster. He has two 5mm ports on the sides of his vehicle mode, so the axe can be split and stored in a slightly more streamlined manner if desired. Unusually for a ''Studio Series'' figure, Optimus has no dedicated method of storing his weapons in robot mode. Some buyers have been able to find creative but unintentional methods, such as clicking the Ion Blaster to the thin section of the front bumper where the gaps on either side of the grill are. However, this can potentially scratch the paint, so due caution should be exercised.

:His instructions feature several errors. The assembly for the axes in robot mode have the arrows pointing the the wrong directions, indicating that you are supposed to assemble the haft and then remove the head. Step 6 highlights only the rotation of the chest piece to vehicle mode orientation, when the shoulders and arms should also be rotated, and step 8 shows the 'hood' resting on top of the wheelarches instead of underneath, which is shown in every step until 16, where it's suddently correct. Finally, there are two ways to attach the axe in vehicle mode, the first as depicted in the instructions where the attachment is on the head itself, and the other at the top of the haft as depicted in stock pictures.

:In a borderline unnoticeable case of misassembly, every single one of Optimus's wheels is on the incorrect side, as shown in the vehicle mode product render. The detailing is intended to point down instead of up to replicate the in-game tire model. To remedy this, swap the left wheels to the right side and vice-versa. Fortunately, this misassembly appears to be fixed on most if not all later run copies of this mold. Some copies have been reported to have scuffs and scratches on the softer blue plastic parts, particularly the back half of the vehicle mode. This appears to be due to the release agent used in casting being insufficient, causing the metal mold itself to scratch the parts as their sprue is removed. It appears to be less common and less severe in later waves than in its initial release.

:Optimus Prime was reissued in mid-2024 with preorders listed on April of that year. It was later retooled into [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#FracturedFriendship|Security Officer Orion Pax]].

*A black and red version of the First Edition deluxe Optimus Prime could be seen in the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011 ''Transformers'' slide show, inside a mock-up of the wearable Matrix of Leadership package done for the convention that year. This figure was presumably a test-shot, as it seems to share plastic colors with ''Generations'' [[Black Shadow (G1)#Generations|Sky Shadow]] (who was, coincidentally, first revealed at that same Comic-Con).

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

[[File:SickMind CybSat-OpSkyMaster.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|He's about to pull a Powdered Toast Man.]]

*'''Sword Mode''' (ソードモード ''Sōdo Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., C.L., O.P., R.A.
: Optimus's "Sword Mode", depicted on his AM-01 release box-back, which is just him brandishing the [[Star Saber (Arms Micron)|Star Saber]] while [[C.L. (Prime)|C.L.]] is attached to Optimus's right leg. Woo.

*'''Sky Master Mode''' (スカイマスターモード ''Sukai Masutā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B. (x2), C.L. (x2), Jida (x2), O.P.
: The more interesting "Sky Master Mode", revealed in the "[[From the Cybertron Satellite, Transformers Division|Cybertron Satellite]]" segment of "[[Sick Mind|Phantom Transformation! Mind-Diving]]", has him using O.P. as a blaster, ''two'' [[B.B. (Prime)|B.B.]]s as leg-thrusters, and ''two'' sets of C.L./[[Jida]](!) combinations as back-mounted [[jet pack]]s. The [[Arms Micron#AMW Series|AMW versions]] of C.L. and Jida, while not as color-coordinated, are a far more economical option than buying two of each Cliffjumper. Good luck with the second B.B.. This mode was created as a "counter" to the aerial combatant Starscream, along with the [[Energon Sniper]] Combo Weapon (despite it being a Decepticon-Micron-formed weapon). Apparently, the "Arms Up Mission" game isn't picky about factions.

*'''Galaxy Prime Mode''' (ギャラクシープライムモード ''Gyarakushī Puraimu Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., Jaze, O.P., Pral, R.A., Sise
: Seen on [[Unicron/toys#Prime|Gaia Unicron]]'s boxback, "Galaxy Prime mode" has Optimus wearing Gaia Unicron in "Gaia Armor" mode while holding the [[Star Saber (Arms Micron)|Star Saber]] and [[Cosmotector (Prime)|Cosmotector]] Super Combo Weapons.

*'''Ultimate Mode''' (アルティメットモード ''Arutimetto Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., Baro, Baro G, Baru, B.H., B.H. B, C.L., C.L. GR, Dai, Gabu, Gora, Gora II, Igu, Jaze, Jida, Jida R, Noji, O.P., Pral, R.A., Sise, Shining B.B., Shining O.P., Shining R.A.
: This Micron-covered "Ultimate Mode" for Arms Master Optimus was shown in the Cybertron Satellite segment of "[[One Shall Rise, Part 3|Sealed Transformation! The Mystery of Orion Pax]]". He wears the Matrix on his chest with [[Baro (Prime)|Baro]], Baro G, [[R.A.]] and Shining R.A. attached to it, [[Zori (Prime)|Zori M]] on his back, Jida R and [[Igu]] on his right shoulder, Jida and [[Noji]] on his left shoulder, B.H. and C.L. on his right arm, B.H. B and C.L. GR on his left arm, [[Gora]] on his right hip and Gora II on his left, B.B. and Shining O.P. on his right leg, and Shining B.B. and O.P. on his left leg. Finally, he wields the Cosmotector and [[Dark Matter Calibur]] in his hands. Phew!

*'''Sky Wing Mode''' (スカイウイングモード ''Sukai Uingu Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': C.L., Hades, Ida, Jida, Shining R.A.
: "Sky Wing Mode" is a flight-capable mode for Arms Master Optimus shown in the Cybertron Satellite segment of "[[Orion Pax, Part 2|Hopeful Transformation! Aim for Planet Cybertron]]". He wears [[Hades]] as wings with C.L. attached, and wields the Matrix Saber as well as a weapon made from Jida and [[Ida]].

*'''Aqua Screw Mode''' (アクアスクリューモード ''Akua Sukuryū Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': Arc S, B.H. B, Baro, Baro G, C.L., C.L. GR, Dai, Gora II, Zamu
: A mode for Arms Master Optimus designed for underwater combat, "Aqua Screw Mode" was shown in Cybertron Satellite segment of "[[Loose Cannons|Explosive Sword Transformation! Wheeljack and Dreadwing]]". C.L. and Baro are combined into a propeller engine and attached to his right foot, their GR and G redecoes do the same for the left, and B.H. B is attached to his right shoulder to act as a radar system. He wears [[Arc|Arc S]]'s blade on his right arm and wields the [[Giga Tornado Cannon]] Combo Weapon.

*'''Space Blaster Mode''' (スペースブラスターモード ''Supēsu Burasutā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.H., B.H. B, C.L., C.L. GR, Gora II, Guru, R.A., Shining R.A., Zori M
: Arms Master Optimus's "Space Blaster Mode" is a mode designed for fighting in outer space, introduced in the Cybertron Satellite segment of "[[Armada (episode)|Infinite Transformation! Multiplying Enemies]]". He wears R.A. and Shining R.A. on his shoulders as wings, C.L. and C.L. GR on his back as thrusters, and B.H. and B.H. B on his feet as... more thrusters. His weapon of choice in this mode is the [[Matrix Blaster]].

Micronus Prime

[[File:11MicronusPrime.jpg|thumb|right|350px|So, if the Mini-Cons are [[Pokeformers|Pokémon]], does this make him [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Arceus_(Pok%C3%A9mon) Arceus]?]]

At the dawn of time, [[Primus]] created '''Micronus Prime''', conscience and moral center of the [[Thirteen]]. Although he is the smallest member of this venerated group, he possesses boundless reserves of energy and a clever mind, enabling him to predict the actions of his brothers and sisters before even they know what they're going to do.

Micronus's innocent nature belies his strong ethical sense; although he takes his role very seriously, he approaches his duties with a light [[Spark]] and an easy touch. He eschewed the most dour members of the Thirteen in favor of the free-spirited [[Onyx Prime]], whom he once considered his closest friend, and his creative energies also inspired him to strike up friendships with [[Solus Prime]] and [[Nexus Prime]]. Micronus's siblings always appreciated his presence—he could impart a fraction of his energy upon them using the [[Chimera Stone]], directing his own energies into a form that suited their needs. He would pass a version of this [[Powerlinx|ability]] on to his descendants, the [[Mini-Con]]s.

In recent years, Micronus Prime has retreated to the [[Realm of the Primes]], where he temporarily served as a mentor and spiritual guide to [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]], the youngest member of the Thirteen. In this role, he prefers to let his younger sibling learn through trial and error, sometimes feigning a blithe indifference to the mental and physical rigors of his training regimen. In reality, though, Micronus cares deeply about all living things, be they [[Transformer]] or otherwise.

==Fiction==
===Aligned continuity family===
====''The Covenant of Primus''====
Micronus Prime was the fifth Prime created to battle [[Unicron#Aligned continuity family|Unicron]]. As the Primes began planning for their future campaign against the Chaos-Bringer, Micronus gravitated towards the growing faction of strategists: [[Alpha Trion]], [[Quintus Prime]], and [[Liege Maximo]]. Their early fights against a simulated copy of Unicron went poorly, although Micronus and [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] were adamant that Unicron considered himself too independent to create a similar set of "[[Dark Primes]]".

As the Primes began building weapons for the upcoming conflict, Micronus worked alongside Solus at her [[Forge of Solus Prime|forge]]. Using his own abilities, he would augment her hammer strikes with his own energy, allowing her to create powerful tools and weapons. Among them was the Chimera Stone, which would become Micronus's own iconic [[Artifacts of the Primes|artifact]]. As Solus worked with the other Primes, Micronus befriended Onyx Prime, and the two became inseparable. As the Thirteen trained and planned, Micronus worked alongside Solus Prime and the other strategists to create a massive computer capable of running through all of Unicron's possible responses to an attack, a forerunner to what would one day become [[Vector Sigma]].

The time eventually came to take the fight to Unicron. Micronus worked as a saboteur, intending to cripple and distract Unicron while the warriors damaged him. Perched on Quintus's shoulder, Micronus participated in the great battle against Unicron, drawing off the [[Energon]]-seeking missiles that Unicron fired at the Primes by venting his own energies. With [[Prima]] and Solus leading the charge, the Primes managed to fight their way inside Unicron with the help of [[Vector Prime]]'s portals. Unicron's [[Dark Energon]] counter-attacked provoked a flood of nightmarish visions, which nearly overwhelmed their attempts to shut him down. Only the calm words of Optimus Prime inspired them to persevere with their mission, and Micronus laughed that as long as they were together, hell wasn't such a bad place to be. The Thirteen ultimately triumphed over Unicron, and together they returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], giddy in their victory. What they didn't know was that close contact with Unicron had amplified some of their inner darkness.

In the age that followed, the Primes began building a settlement for themselves, dividing into like-minded groups—some focused on labour, while others debated law and philosophy. Micronus worked with Megatronus, Nexus, and Liege Maximo on an Energon refinery. However, Micronus—along with Onyx Prime, Solus Prime, and Nexus Prime—never fit in with one group or another; they viewed the other Primes as dour and unimaginative, and chafed under some of the strictest laws imposed by Prima. While Megatronus and Solus Prime developed a strong, mutual affection for one another, Micronus was happy for them. Even so, tensions continued to rise between these ad hoc groups, which finally boiled over after Prima learned about a "farm" of robotic beasts that Liege Maximo and Quintus Prime had constructed. The Primes held a vote to decide the future of the farm; Micronus voted against letting the project continue.

Not long afterwards, Micronus and Onyx were the first to discover that Solus Prime had been killed by Megatronus's [[Requiem Blaster (Thirteen)|Requiem Blaster]]. Micronus was heartbroken by the loss, and almost overcome with rage when he realized that Megatronus was behind the killing. Micronus accompanied six of the other Primes, and through [[Vector Prime]] they tracked down Megatronus. Micronus, still inconsolable, refused to believe Megatronus's side of the story. The Primes confronted Liege Maximo, who Megatronus had accused of orchestrating the entire scheme. The anger and misery finally boiled over within all of the surviving Primes, and as Maximo's beasts ran amok the twelve Cybertronians battled one another in blind rage.

Micronus emerged from the fracas unscathed, although Liege Maximo had been blown to bits with the Requiem Blaster and Onyx Prime had been fatally wounded. When the remaining Primes had calmed down, they set about tending to the wounded. Over a period of time, Micronus and the other survivors buried Liege Maximo's remains in a chasm and held a memorial to Solus Prime in deep space. Hoping to put their ugly past behind them, the Primes turned their attention to Cybertron and their plans for the future. Micronus tried to comfort the dying Onyx; the two called a meeting of all the surviving Primes.

As Primus had created them, the Primes decided that they would create the next generation of Cybertronians using the power of Onyx's [[Triptych Mask]] within the [[Well of All Sparks]], and the Primes would retire from active society. At the last moment, Micronus decided to accompany Onyx on his final journey into the Well. Together, their sacrifice activated the Well and allowed it to start producing new life. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

When [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] sacrificed himself to save [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the Primes rescued him before his Spark could be extinguished. He wound up in the extra-dimensional [[Realm of the Primes]] with other members of the Thirteen. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} Foreseeing the rise of Megatronus on Earth, {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}} the Primes opted to train Optimus for this new mission, assigning Micronus as his new mentor.

[[File:RIDMicronusPrime.jpeg|thumb|left|'''Optimus''': Are you going to be my Yoda-type mentor? '''Micronus''': No. (''kicks him in the shin'')]]
In one such training session, Micronus challenged Optimus to climb a hill. When Optimus questioned the difficulty of his task, Micronus summoned a group of [[human]]s into the realm... and a threatening robot with multiple Mini-Con minions to attack them. Optimus tried in vain to defend the humans, repeatedly begging Micronus to help him, but Micronus declined every time. Eventually, Optimus realized that he needed to climb the easily climbed hill ''first'', which activated his [[Prime Decepticon Hunter]] and gave him the power to defeat the robots, saving the last surviving human. At the end of the test, Micronus revealed that the humans were merely illusions, meant to prove that there would always be distractions and hard choices in the battles coming, and to keep the goal -and mind- clear. {{storylink|Out of Focus}}

Unfortunately the time arrived before Optimus's training was complete, but Micronus regardless took him before the other Primes. When Optimus persuaded them, Micronus and the other Primes bestowed some of their power on him and sent him to Earth. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}}

Following the battle with [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], Micronus appeared to Bumblebee's team on Earth and took back the power bestowed on Optimus. Though this left Optimus in a weakened state, Micronus scanned him and said he would recover. {{storylink|Overloaded, Part 1}}

====2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' books====
During Optimus's training, Micronus became aware that one of the other Primes was interfering with his work. While meeting with the Primes, he realized that [[Liege Maximo]] had gone missing, and went to confront the culprit himself. {{storylink|The Trials of Optimus Prime}}

===Fun Publications===
Micronus was one of [[Vector Prime]]'s siblings among the [[Thirteen]]. Vector noted that Micronus deeply cared for all living things, Transformer or otherwise. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/14}}

The [[Transcendent Technomorph]]s of [[Axiom Nexus]] knew the [[Mini-Con]]s to be the children of Micronus Prime. {{storylink|Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist|Rook - Axiom Nexus News, 2015/05/09}}

When [[Nexus Prime]] united the [[Terminus Blade]] and the [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|Star Saber]], the other [[Thirteen]] were drawn to the event—including Micronus. Time and space were rewritten that day, as the walls between the multiverse grew stronger and less permeable. A consequence of strengthening the walls of the multiverse was that Micronus Prime and the original Thirteen could no longer continue to exist as multiversal singularities, and so they were splintered and scattered throughout the multiverse. And so the one became many, sentient reoccurring themes each appearing in their own way, if at all, in all the worlds of the multiverse. {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|''The Transformers'' vol. 2 #47]] (mentioned); ''[[Micronauts: Revolution]]'' (depicted)}}
[[File:IDW Micronus Prime.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"I made the stars that became the carbon in your mother's ovaries."]]

Micronus was one of the Thirteen Primes who led the [[Thirteen Tribes]] that arose on Cybertron following the departure of the [[Knights of Cybertron]]. {{storylink|The Crucible}} Like four others, he was attracted to the [[Crystal City]] alliance, ruling with his fellow Primes from the city's citadel. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} According to [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], Micronus was known for his "betrayal" of his closest friend [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]] and [[Liege Maximo]] in the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]]. {{storylink|White Heat}} The death of [[Nexus Prime]] at the hands of [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] prompted all the remaining Primes except [[Alpha Trion]] to flee Cybertron. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

Micronus left Cybertron aboard his [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Prion (Titan)|Prion]], and led the colonization expedition to a [[Prion (planet)|distant world]]. He oversaw the creation of a new civilization of Transformers birthed from Prion's [[hot spot (phenomenon)|hot spot]], which eventually developed into a world of Mini-Cons. However, Sentinel Prime claimed that Micronus abandoned his people during their time of need, abdicating Prion's world via [[Space bridge|Spacebridge]] and allowing for the colony's genocide at the hands of the [[Black Block Consortia]]. {{storylink|White Heat}}

One way or another, he ended up creating the sub-atomic realm known as [[Microspace]] seven million years ago, {{storylink|Crisis Intervention}} and retreated inside it. His inert body lay at the center of the [[Entropy Cloud]] which threatened to destroy that universe entirely. {{storylink|Micronauts: Revolution}}

Eons later, [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]] would send one his [[Regenesis]] ores, [[Ore-3]], to Prion. {{storylink|The Crucible}} {{storylink|Ceremony}} Micronus Prime's name was remembered in the [[Way of Flame]], the religion of [[Solus Prime]]'s colony [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}}

Hoping to save his realm using [[Earth]]'s supplies of [[Ore-13]], Micronus attempted to contact [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] through the Titan [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]]. Unfortunately, the message didn't get through correctly; instead, [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]]'s mind made the trip across time and space. Micronus told his Camien visitor that she would have to ''experience'' his message to understand his plight. Windblade's new avatar was sent into Microspace, where she encountered the evil [[Baron Karza]] and his retinue and learned about the dire civil war that threatened Microspace. When Windblade's mind returned to her normal body, Micronus appeared in a final vision, urging her to help his dimension by any means necessary. {{storylink|Informed}}

Some time later, Baron Karza set up his main base inside Micronus's body where he made usage of the Prime's personal Spacebridge to try to save Microspace. The heroic [[Micronauts (franchise)|Micronauts]] made the voyage through the Spacebridge, arriving inside Metrotitan's Spacebridge chamber on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|O Ship of State}}

He transforms into a disc-shaped alternate mode with a big honking [[:File:Minicon symbol.png|classical Mini-Con insignia]] covering one side to create something strongly reminiscent of the [[Mini-Con storage panel|Mini-Con storage panels]] from the [[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|original ''Armada'' cartoon]]. There is a [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] on his back, allowing him to attach to [[Powerlinx]] pegs, though he unfortunately lacks the pin needed to activate any gimmicks like old Mini-Con toys.

:To fill out the rest of the "Deluxe" size class, the tiny Micronus comes with a one-wheeled vehicle he can ride on. The exhausts can be bent down to use as kickstands.

The armor is roughly the size of a Deluxe minibot rather than a normal Deluxe, meaning Micronus remains the shortest Prime even in his armor. Additionally, the armor can disassemble into component parts that can be wielded as weapons by larger figures, in the style of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizers]] and their various successor lines. Micronus also includes his [[Artifacts of the Primes|artifact]], the Chimera Stone, in the form of an even smaller disc bearing his personal insignia. It can store on his back in both robot and alternate modes, or peg into the chest of the larger exo-suit using a 5 mm post.

:Micronus's legs and arms are made from translucent plastic… including the ball joint sockets. As such, it is not uncommon to find white stress marks on those sockets after some play or even out of box. Many copies are unable to completely close up the bottom of the disc mode. Be wary of trying to force it as that can stress the clear sockets further. Depending on the copy's individual tolerances, you may be able to bring the sides closer together by rotating the hips so the flat side of the pin points forward.

* Micronus's name is likely derived from "Micron", the Japanese name for Mini-Cons across the franchise.

[[File:12QuintusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I went into space to create alien species who could act as allies to the [[Transformer]] race! And made [[Quintesson|these guys]]... whoops.]]

The scientist of the [[Thirteen]], '''Quintus Prime''' possesses a mind second to none. His idealism and perfectionist tendencies means that he frequently butts heads with the less imaginative members of the Thirteen. Something of a daydreamer, Quintus believes that life, in all its forms, is the most important thing in the universe, and that life should be encouraged to grow and thrive at all costs throughout the galaxy. Accordingly, he wields the [[Emberstone]], an [[Artifacts of the Primes|artifact]] which can accelerate biological processes in base elements.

==Fiction==
===Aligned continuity family===
====''The Covenant of Primus''====
Quintus was the tenth Prime created by [[Primus]] to fight against [[Unicron#Aligned continuity family|Unicron]]. His artifact was the [[Emberstone]], and he became one of the Strategists of the Thirteen, alongside [[Alpha Trion]], [[Micronus Prime]] and [[Liege Maximo]]. To defeat Unicron, [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] exposed his [[spark]], its frequency almost identical to Primus's own, to Unicron's own Anti-Spark knocking both into [[stasis lock]]. Quintus subsequently used his Emberstone to awaken Optimus. After Unicron's defeat, Quintus drifted freely between the cliques formed in the group alongside [[Maccadam|Alchemist Prime]] and Optimus Prime.

After Maximo revealed that [[Prima]] had been plotting how likely each member of the Thirteen was to be corrupted by Unicron's presence, it came to light that Quintus had worked alongside Maximo and Megatronus to create new robot beasts – Prima was suspicious of these beasts and ordered the three to shut down their "Farm". A conflict broke out between the Thirteen over whether or not Maximo had the right to create new life – a conflict that eventually came to a head when Optimus demanded a full vote on the matter.

The vote came to a tie until [[Solus Prime]] voted against allowing Maximo to create new beasts. After Megatronus accidentally killed Solus, Quintus was among the members of the Thirteen that demanded that Megatronus be found and made to pay for his crime, but the group was surprised when Solus's dead body began to glow and melted an opening to the deep core of Primus, creating the [[Well of All Sparks]]. When Maximo was confronted at the Farm, Quintus refused to accept any personal responsibility for the beasts' creation. The Thirteen then proceeded to fight, their battle spilling into the caverns with the beasts.

With the [[Age of Primes]] over, Quintus went into space to seed life, hoping to create new races that might one day form peaceful alliances with Cybertron. His first stop was a metal-rich planet he named [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]]. There, he created the first [[Quintesson]]s, a manipulative, deceitful race which would become less than friendly with Primus's new creations. When the Quintessons arrived on Cybertron, Alpha Trion wondered what became of his brother, idly speculating that Quintus's own creations may have disposed of him when they no longer required him. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

====''Prime'' cartoon====
According to legend, at the beginning of time, Unicron and Primus battled each other for eons, with neither side remaining victorious for long. Till, that is, Primus created the [[Thirteen]]. These Thirteen defeated Unicron and cast him into space. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|''Transformers'' #47]] (mentioned), [[Heavy|''Till All Are One'' #9]]}}
[[File:OP18 Thirteen in Crystal City.jpg|thumb|left|375px|Second from the right, and fashionably green.]]
Quintus was one of the Thirteen Primes who led the [[Thirteen Tribes]] that arose on Cybertron following the departure of the [[Knights of Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} Like four others he was attracted to the alliance at [[Crystal City]], forming the [[Thirteen]] Primes. Unbeknownst to the Primes, one of their number, the bestial [[Onyx Prime]], was in fact a time-travelling [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]] from twelve million years in the future, who was manipulating history to ensure the rise, and subsequent fall, of the Primes' society. Goaded on by Shockwave's machinations, [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] and [[Liege Maximo]] turned on the group, killing [[Solus Prime]] and starting the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]]. Though Megatronus managed to flee Cybertron, Quintus and [[Nexus Prime|Nexus]] were able to restrain Maximo, eventually banishing him aboard [[Vigilem]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

As the war wound down, Nexus Prime met his end at the hands of [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]], prompting all the remaining Primes, except [[Alpha Trion]], to flee Cybertron. Eons later, the younger Shockwave would send one his [[Regenesis]] ores, [[Ore-2]], to [[Gorlam Prime]], {{storylink|The Crucible}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} the resting place of [[Necrotitan|Quintessa]], a [[Titan (group)|Titan]] somehow affiliated with Quintus. {{storylink|Ceremony}}

[[File:ESQuintusPrime PrimeTime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|"Squidward, you're even ''more'' handsome now!"]]
After helping to establish Cybertronian culture, Quintus Prime left his homeworld on a mission to seed life on planets all across the galaxy, intending to create new races that could be allies of Cybertron in the future. Using the power of his Emberstone, he would trigger the evolution of life on a planet, then quickly move on to the next world, leaving the races he spawned to fend for themselves. His first creations, the [[Quintesson]]s, desired to know the purpose of their existence, and so set off into space in search of their absent creator—but when they discovered that they were just one of many experiments Quintus had abandoned, they grew bitter and sought to destroy Quintus and all his creations, and take the power of the Emberstone for themselves. Fleeing the Quintessons, Quintus took refuge on primordial Earth, where he fused his spark with the Emberstone, and used its power one last time to create the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Terratronus]], who would protect the stone from all who would misuse its power. Terratronus deceived the Quintessons into thinking Quintus and the stone had left Earth, then placed the stone in a subterranean cave marked with Quintus's insignia. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}} {{storylink|Witwicky, Part 1}}

Millions of years later, when later generations of Cybertronians came to be stranded on Earth, the [[human]] siblings [[Robby Malto|Robby]] and [[Mo Malto]] found the Emberstone beneath the town of [[Witwicky (town)|Witwicky]]. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}} Judged worthy of its power by Quintus's spirit, {{storylink|Witwicky, Part 1}} the pair's touch activated the stone, and as Quintus's voice rang out, dubbing the children the "legacy of hope," the stone's power created two new Transformers, [[Twitch]] and [[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]] from a pool of water, and manifested [[cyber-sleeve]]s on Mo and Robby's arms that emotionally bonded them to the robots. {{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 1}} When they later explored the cave system with [[Bumblebee (ES)|Bumblebee]], the scout found a message in Ancient Cybertronian but failed to notice Quintus' insignia. {{storylink|Friends and Family}}

After [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]] was informed of how the [[Terran]]s had come to life, he recognized the Emberstone and, with [[Alex Malto]]'s aid, explained Quintus Prime to the younger audience. When the Maltos and Terrans were surrounded by [[Arachnamech]]s, Mo beseeched Quintus for aid, and the Prime's voice responded and activated the Emberstone to create [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]], [[Jawbreaker (ES)|Jawbreaker]], and [[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]]. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}}

When Robbie fell ill, and Optimus theorized that only the Emberstone would be able to help him, a distressed Mo tried to use her cyber-sleeve to contact Quintus Prime. In frustration, Mo wished that she'd never touched the Emberstone at the same time that [[Mandroid]] claimed the artifact. Bringing the Malto family to his starship, which had been orbiting Earth abandoned for millions of years, Quintus's spirit showed Mo a simulation of what her life would have been like had she never touched the stone. Mandroid then teleported aboard, hoping to crash the ship to end the Maltos, only for the Emberstone to empower Mo's cyber-sleeve enough that she managed to defeat him. Quintus then appeared to the Maltos, thanking Mo for answering his call but warning that there were still trials ahead. {{storylink|Prime Time (episode)|Prime Time}}

===''One'' film===
Quintus Prime and the other twelve Primes were created by [[Primus]] at the dawn of Cybertron, and they ruled Cybertron benevolently through its Golden Age. When a war with the Quintessons threw the planet into a protracted, violent conflict, the Primes' secretary, [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel Prime]], herded the [[Thirteen|thirteen]] into a Quintesson ambush within a remote cave. Quintus would be killed during the battle, with his brothers' and sisters' bodies resting in a hidden cave for fifty cycles before being rediscovered by miners [[Optimus Prime (One)|Orion Pax]], [[Megatron (One)|D-16]], [[Elita-1 (One)|Elita]], and [[Bumblebee (One)|B-127]].

: Released as part of the first 2026 wave of ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'', The Thirteen Quintus Prime is a Deluxe-class, based on his design from the ''Covenant of Primus''. He transforms from a squiddy-robot mode to squiddy-Cybertronian spaceship mode. In addition to his regular pair of arms, Quintus also features a pair of tentacles that each loop in a circle, making them able to hold accessories that have 5mm pegs. The ends of those tentacles are also compatible with [[blast effect]]s. The instructions feature two configurations for those tentacle arms in vehicle mode: either underneath the spaceship pointing forward as landing gear, or on the sides of the “skirt” pointing backward.

: Quintus Prime comes with his artifact, the Emberstone, which is on a 5mm peg, enabling him to hold it in any of his hands or tentacle arms. When not in use, the Emberstone can be stored in his spaceship cockpit, where its peg fills out the center of his chest in robot mode. Unfortunately, the Emberstone is unable to grant you your own cyber-sleeve.

: In contrast to his various depictions, this Quintus Prime has a pair of legs cast in transparent plastic under his tentacle "skirt" that are involved in part of the transformation.

: Quintus Prime was first revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2025.

For those of you who don't know, kind of a guy spreading apple seeds around as he walked. So this guy was spreading Cybertronian life...|link=https://www.youtube.com/live/WoJyX1XusVE?si=gDKcAaAlUI26da-9&t=1715|name=Aaron Archer|site=YouTube|year=2024|month=02|day=24}}</ref>
*Quintus Prime's ''[[Transformers: EarthSpark (cartoon)|EarthSpark]]'' incarnation was inspired by the silver-and see-through aesthetic of the [[pre-Transformers|pre-Transformer]] ''[[Microman]]'' franchise, the wizard {{w|Gandalf}}, and the signature mask of beloved underground hip hop icon {{w|MF DOOM}}.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=@Idasomethinghem made this excellent design for Quintus's debut in ep 122. The prompt was to give Quintus a more ancient benevolent robot god vibe. Wanted to give some nods to Microman, MF Doom, and a lil bit a Gandalf 😬|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20240716201025/https://twitter.com/nowayjermaine/status/1813305206555263390|name=Jermaine Jose|site=Twitter|year=2024|month=06|day=16}}</ref>
*Quintus' depictions in media often omit his third pair of arms, a trait that carried over to his ''Age of the Primes'' figure. His depiction in ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' is a notable exception, although it eschews his tentacles in favor of two pairs of legs.

Transformers: Age of the Primes

{{disambig3|Age of Primes}}
{{nav-AOTP}}

[[File:Age of the Primes main artwork.jpg|right|thumb|350px|'''2024:''' ''"[[Megatron (One)|The Age of Primes has ended! No more false prophets!]]''" '''2025:''' ]]

'''''Transformers: Age of the Primes''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to ''[[Transformers: Legacy]]''.

First teased at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2024]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/52ddGYMyvpE?t=11223s ''Transformers'' panel] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2024]] on the [[Hasbro Pulse]] YouTube channel, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Evan Brooks]], [[Mark Maher]], [[Marcelo Matere]], and [[Nate Purswell]]</ref> and given a full reveal at [[Cybertron Con 2024|Cybertron Con]] later that year,<ref name = "CyCon25">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjmcMC9nNoA ''Age of the Primes'' reveal panel] from [[Cybertron Con 2024]] on the [[Hasbro Pulse]] YouTube channel, with Mark Maher.</ref> ''Age of the Primes'' revolves around the mythical [[Thirteen|Thirteen Primes]] and their [[Energon bloodline|descendants]].<ref name=usedtwice>{{citesocial|quote=The best part of the next 2 years is, you’ll not only collect the 13 primes but theres an amazing plethora of bots that are all descendents of the primes, you can collect them all, finish mini collections, and guess their energon bloodline.|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/DC2tKXARTg3/|name=Mark Maher|site=Instagram|year=2024|month=11|day=26}}</ref> Unlike the Thirteen's diminutive toys in the 2018 ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' line, these are standard-sized figures, drawing from multiple designs, and each including their [[Artifacts of the Primes|artifact]]. ''Age of the Primes'' also continues the standard of scale, articulation, and compatibility for 3 mm [[Fire Blast effect|effects]] and [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|5 mm weapons/armor]] set by the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''. The "descendants" of the Primes, much like ''Legacy'', are based on characters from multiple ''Transformers'' series.

Much like ''Power of the Primes'', a substantial part of the toyline is also dedicated to the [[combiner]] teams: the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] and the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]. Both subgroups utilize a similar system to the ''Legacy'' [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]], with a Commander Class toy transforming into the torso and combining with an included frame that four smaller toys can attach to.

The line makes pretty significant changes to the smallest and largest of the size classes that have been standards over many prior years. The Core Class assortment was completely discontinued (hard to make bigger changes than ''that''), while the Titan Class toys were decreased in size, and thankfully, price. Unfortunately, due to a number of factors beyond Hasbro's control, some size class prices have gone ''up'' (only in certain markets), most notably the Voyager Class toys.

''Age of the Primes'' continues ''Legacy'''s trend of themed "capsule" lines exclusive to various retailers, beginning with the "Wreck 'n Doom Collection", a [[Wreckers]] vs. [[Mayhem Attack Squad]]-themed line continuing on from the previous "Wreck 'n Rule" and "Doom 'n Destruction" collections, exclusive to [[Amazon]] in North America. This year's (incredibly small) [[Walmart]] line is themed around ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' in celebration of its 20th anniversary. The ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' assortment from previous lines remains, with a new packaging design based on the other ''Age of the Primes'' toys.

==''Age of the Primes'' (TakaraTomy)==
[[TakaraTomy]]'s normal-retail ''Transformers Age of the Primes'' (トランスフォーマーエイジ・オブ・ザ・プライム ''Toransufōmā Eiji obu za Puraimu'') toyline is largely the same as Hasbro's, with no notable changes to the toys proper (other than the omission of the tampographed Hasbro product code numbers); the one "big" change is that the packaging adds [[List of Japanese ID numbers|ID numbers]] for each item.

==Notes==
*Concurrently with 2025’s ''[[Studio_Series#2025|Studio Series]]'' assortment, the toyline sees a return to the plastic windows not seen on Transformers packaging since ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]''. Also like ''Studio Series'', the boxes are now less decorated than their predecessors, replacing the full package artwork with an all-black design that has art of the figure’s robot and alternate forms on one side of the window, with the robot form on the left side of the box and the toyline’s poster on the right, and little graphics on the front showing the toy’s step count.
*The Thirteen’s roster (and many of their designs and artifacts) are pulled from [[2013]]’s ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus]]'', with the [[Thirteenth Prime]] represented by Optimus Prime in his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Star Convoy]] form.
*''Age of the Primes'' coincides with the Thirteen's major role in the theatrical film ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]''.
*The Thirteen's boxes feature subtly distinct livery from the "mortal" figures in the line: their names and transformation step callouts are rendered in gold rather than the usual white, and their [[Insignia/Gallery#Religious symbols|personal sigils]] developed for [[2018]]'s ''[[Power of the Primes (franchise)|Power of the Primes]]'' take the place of faction symbols.
*Unlike the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' and ''Legacy'' toylines, which were each three years long, ''Age of the Primes'' is only two years.<ref name=usedtwice /><ref>{{citesocial|quote= 2026 and 2025 are linked together, I can say that, and if you can believe it we’re already starting to think a little bit about 2027.|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/08/03/sdcc-2024-hasbro-interview-john-wardens-return-generations-studio-series-combiners-more-513802|name=John Warden|site=TFW2005|title=SDCC 2024 Hasbro Interview – John Warden’s Return, Generations, Studio Series, Combiners, More!|year=2024|month=08|day=03}}</ref> Also unlike those lines, it will not be rebranded with a new name for the second year.<ref>{{citesocial|quote= Yes, 2026 will also be Age of the Primes.|link=https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/2025-generations-listings-united-wave-5-age-of-the-primes.1259609/page-1203#post-22990969|name=Evan Brooks|site=Instagram|year=2025|month=01|day=04}}</ref>
*''Age of the Primes'' was previously teased with the releases of ''Legacy'' [[Vector Prime#Legacy|Vector Prime]] and [[Malleus Minotaurus]], the former of whom was later featured on official art for the toyline.
*Though it continues to include characters from all parts of the brand’s history, ''Age of the Primes'' mostly drops the universe designations from their names.
*The majority of the figures in the toyline are identified as direct descendants of one of the Thirteen through something referred to as an "[[Energon bloodline]]" in another element derived from the Covenant, though use of the phrase "bloodline" for the concept raises some [[Reproduction|serious questions]].

'''Silverbolt'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s character is defined by his extreme {{w|acrophobia|fear of heights}} and by his refusal to bow to it. He constantly struggles to project the image of a brave, determined soldier to hide his fear from others. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] named him leader of the Aerialbots in the hopes that worrying about them would give him something else to focus on besides his own phobia. This has proven true and, not surprisingly, the mature, responsible Silverbolt makes an excellent commander.

He can combine with his fellow Aerialbots to form [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. In the future of some timelines, he will join forces with other veterans of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] to form [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]], the final Autobot combiner.

[[File:G1Silverbolt Key1.jpg|left|thumb|"So long, cruel world!" Actual episode quote. Seriously.]]
Silverbolt was constructed out of a low-flying cargo transport vessel, which was modified to resemble an Earthly Concorde. He was later given life by [[Vector Sigma]], along with the other [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], then returned to [[Earth]] with the Autobots via [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. It was soon discovered that Silverbolt had a crippling weakness: an intense fear of heights, due to his low-altitude origins. Conversely, he was the only Aerialbot who wasn't a complete jerk. Because of this, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] made him commander of the Aerialbots, reasoning that it would give him something to worry about other than his acrophobia. He proved worthy of this role when he persuaded his mutinous teammates to help the Autobots protect humanity, by showing them how [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]] was able to disregard his fatigue at will due to his concern for Omega Supreme's well-being, something robots cannot do.

[[File:G1 Silverbolt cartoon.jpg|thumb|"Has anyone seen my [[Humanization#Lips|lip balm]]?"]]
As the combined forces of the Autobots and Aerialbots sent the Decepticons into retreat, Silverbolt bravely went after [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and destroyed the [[Key to Vector Sigma]], despite his great fear of heights. As he fell, he was saved at the last moment by [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], who was impressed by his courage. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

Silverbolt led his Aerialbots to the Middle East to discover why aircraft had been mysteriously disappearing from the area. As they flew over a canyon, Silverbolt detected a call from help down below, only to discover it was a Decepticon trick. The Decepticons retreated when Optimus Prime showed up, and Silverbolt pitched in to rescue Slingshot, who had been buried by [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]]. Later on, Silverbolt and [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] fought the Decepticons and their drones. When the Combaticons merged into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], Silverbolt (after expressing disdain for [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]]'s late arrival) ordered his team to become [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. After a bit of combiner-on-combiner action, the Aerialbots separated and ignited the oil that had spilled all around the Decepticons, scattering them. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}}

[[File:WarDawn-SilverboltAndOP.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.15|"In the future, you'll be a great Autobot leader." "Sweet!" "And I'm the key to your success." "GET OUT."]]

When the Seekers captured half of the Earth's leaders, Silverbolt seemed to be the only one concerned, and he valiantly rescued the humans when [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] dropped them. Back at the base, Ratchet and Silverbolt couldn't believe the other Aerialbots' admiration of the Decepticons, but that was cut short when strange energy readings were detected on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Boarding Omega Supreme, Silverbolt went with the other Autobots to check it out, but when they arrived, the other Aerialbots were more interested in tagging along with Starscream. Rushing in to help his teammates, Silverbolt was placed with the others into the [[Kronosphere]], where they were sent to Cybertron's past, before the Great War. There, he met a worker named Orion Pax, and Silverbolt was again frustrated by his fascination with Decepticons. When Orion Pax was injured by Megatron, Silverbolt and his team brought him to Alpha Trion, and at Silverbolt's insistence, the damaged Orion was rebuilt into Optimus Prime. Following that, the Aerialbots destroyed the Decepticons' fuel, and Wheeljack managed to repair the Kronosphere and return them to their time. Upon their return, Silverbolt ordered the Aerialbots to combine into Superion and take down a [[guardian robot]] Megatron had sicced on the Autobots. {{storylink|War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn}}

The Aerialbots were tasked with applying [[corrostop]] to the [[Statue of Liberty]], but Perceptor was captured by Stunticons, leaving it up to the Aerialbots to locate him. They followed the Stunticons' [[Blitzwing (G1)|escape vehicle]], but Dirge and Ramjet scared Silverbolt's squad off by using their [[Lightning Bug]]. When Megatron offered to let Perceptor free at [[Fox Creek Canyon]], Silverbolt was among the many Autobots to come with Prime to rescue their comrade. Later, Silverbolt commanded the formation of Superion, and in this combined form the Aerialbots defeated Menasor and destroyed the Lightning Bug. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

After the death of Megatron and the retaking of Cybertron, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots became part of the Autobot Fleet. When [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] and Spike were kidnapped to [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]], the rescue party alerted the Aerialbots to swoop by for covering fire and pick-up. By 2006, Silverbolt was showing far more confidence as a leader, and effectively coordinated the entire rescue operation. Briefly, he even [[scale|grew so large]] that all the Autobots trapped on Quintessa's surface were able to board him. Whattaguy. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}} When the Quintessons destroyed their own planet to get at the Autobots, the resulting blast wave destroyed the Aerialbots' ship, sending Silverbolt and the rest hurtling through space. They eventually impacted on [[Goo Number 8739-B|Goo #8739B]]. That planetoid was so sticky, Silverbolt couldn't even blast free of its surface in jet mode. They were eventually rescued by [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}}

{{Note|In the episode "[[Dark Awakening (episode)|Dark Awakening]]", several jets in the Autobot Fleet resembling the Aerialbots' alt modes were destroyed by the Quintessons. Repeatedly. Since the Aerialbots unquestionably survived the attack, it would seem their character models were merely used to build up the size of the fleet, and the casualty figures.}}

[[File:ForeverLongTime Air Raid Silverbolt.jpg|thumb|"Why are you the leader, Silverbolt? I've got a nicer paint job." "[[Inferno (episode)|Yes, but... a Concorde is bigger.]]"]]
As a leader, Silverbolt was something of a killjoy to his fellow Aerialbots, encouraging moderation and self-control over daredevil flying and adventuring. During a battle against the Quintessons, Air Raid was eager to chase after the Quintessons and give them what-for, but Silverbolt insisted they stick with the mission and secure the asteroid base the Quintessons had been operating from instead. When Air Raid gave him some backtalk that basically amounted to "Pussyyyyy!", Silverbolt shrugged it off and reminded his comrades that THIS was why Prime put him in charge. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (episode)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

Once, Air Raid led the Decepticon duo of [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] into an asteroid field where Silverbolt and his fellow Aerialbots were waiting to spring an ambush. The Aerialbots messed the Decepticons up pretty badly, especially after they transformed into Superion. Eventually, Silverbolt and the others chased the Decepticons through a strange warp in space. This proceeded to have no consequences for [[Sandstorm (G1)|anyone]] [[Paradron|whatsoever]]. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}}

Silverbolt and the Aerialbots tried to stop the Decepticons' abduction of [[Octane]], and later showed up to stage an ambush for [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}}

Silverbolt and the Aerialbots were spending a relaxing day watching home movies on [[Teletraan II]] when things suddenly get serious, as the Autobots' computer off-handedly informed them [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] was never destroyed in his last battle with [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. Sure enough, Silverbolt and Skydive were later present at the former site of Fort Knox, investigating Trypticon's handiwork on behalf of the [[Abdul Fakkadi (G1)|King of Kings]] of [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]]. When they tracked Trypticon to his new staging grounds, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots launched from [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], but the Decepticon presence in Carbombya was more than they had anticipated. The Aerialbots made a hasty retreat when confronted with overwhelming firepower, but soon returned with reinforcements and drove the Decepticons from Carbombya. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

During a battle in space, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots may or may not have been present. Superion, at least, was surely there on the planet [[Eurythma]]... sometimes. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}} Silverbolt was ''definitely'' stationed at Autobot City, though, when [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and Starscream stole Metroplex's eyes. The massive Autobot was nearly driven mad with pain when the Decepticons set off a bomb in his brain, and Skydive, Silverbolt and [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] had to keep him contained so that his thrashing didn't destroy anything irreplaceable. Like Portland. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine}}

[[File:BigBroadcast Silverbolt jet mode.jpg|left|thumb|No one tell him that space is really really high up.]]
After [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] took some hostile fire over the [[Junkion (planet)|planet of Junk]], Rodimus Prime dispatched Silverbolt and the Aerialbots to investigate. They were caught in a crossfire between the brain-addled Junkions and the Quintessons, who were responsible for messing with the Junkions' air waves, and their minds. Even after becoming Superion, the Aerialbots took heavy fire and had to be brought back to [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] on Cybertron for repairs. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

Normally, Silverbolt is the pinnacle of self-restraint and professionalism. One day, though, he congratulated [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] on strategically getting himself set on fire by [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], and then personally flew down the monster's throat, throwing out laser bolts and imaginative taunts all the way down his gullet. Someone slipped a little too much caffeine into Silverbolt's oil that day. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}} Silverbolt turned out for the celebration of [[Power Platform Alpha]]'s activation. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

During the Decepticon invasion of [[Japan]], the Aerialbots fought against [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] when he tried to derail a bullet train full of passengers. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}} Sometime thereafter, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots were recruited by Rodimus Prime to rescue the body of Optimus Prime from [[Gregory Swofford|Swofford]] and [[Mark Morgan|Morgan]]. Unfortunately, this only meant they were among the first Autobots exposed to the [[Hate Plague|hate plague]]. Despite the madness induced by the red dust, the Aerialbots were apparently still willing to form Superion. Superion ran amok, causing serious property damage, infecting [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]], and taking several other Autobots out of action. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} Silverbolt and the others were eventually cured of the Hate Plague along with the entire planet when Optimus Prime unleashed the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}

When the Decepticons invaded Cybertron searching for the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], the Aerialbots tried to stop them. Unfortunately, they didn't reckon with [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]. Silverbolt's team was taken down in a matter of seconds, with him being personally shot down by Cyclonus, wielding Sixshot in gun mode. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} As the battle on Cybertron neared its conclusion, Silverbolt was shot down AGAIN by [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]]. The [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] then took his [[power pack]] to use as fuel for the giant rocket engine they were constructing for Galvatron. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

=====Scramble City=====
{{voiceactor|[[Tomomichi Nishimura]] (Japanese)}}
Silverbolt and the Aerialbots were dispatched from the [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]] project by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] to aid Optimus Prime in battle with the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] and [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. Their aerial firepower frankly overwhelmed the marauding Decepticons, and sent them home with their transistors between their struts. On his second attempt, Megatron sent the Stunticons, who were considerably more successful in engaging the Autobots. Damaged in jet modes, Silverbolt the Aerialbots chose instead to merge and form Superion. As Superion, they possessed scramble combining abilities, but so did the Stunticons when they formed Menasor. The Aerialbots were in the midst of reconfiguring their limb formation when Fireflight, being...well, a daydreaming idiot, mixed up whether he was supposed to be the right leg or the left. His indecision gave Menasor time to shoot him down, and [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] assumed the place of Superion's right leg instead, corrupting his programming. Silverbolt and the others were trapped as Superion, literally fighting themselves, until Fireflight retook his place as Superion's limb. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

[[File:JHeadmasters01SmokescreenEtc.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Silverbolt and the Aerialbots were stationed at Autobot City on Earth in 2011. When Galvatron attacked Cybertron via the old [[space bridge]] network, the Aerialbots were summoned to Cybertron as reinforcements. They soon arrived with the [[Trainbot]]s and quickly joined the battle. Silverbolt and his team formed Superion and battled [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and Devastator. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Later, the combined Aerialbots fought alongside [[Raiden]] and Defensor against the Decepticon combiners, and were nearly crushed when Bruticus collapsed a building on their position. They were bailed out by the arrival of the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]]. When Hot Rod began his search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] on Earth, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots returned to the humans' planet to assist him. They confronted the Stunticons in the desert, pitting Superion against Menasor yet again. The battle was so fierce, it eventually carried them to the Arctic, where Hot Rod was searching. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

[[File:HM6 warped Aerialbots.jpg|thumb|200px|left]]
Silverbolt and his flying comrades joined the [[Triple Changer]]s in distracting the Decepticons long enough for [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Twincast]] to sneak inside Trypticon and gather data on the [[Madmachine]]. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}} Sometime later, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots were on a research vessel that passed near a [[Metamorphose|strange meteorite]]. The meteorite had been altered by Galvatron to produce magnetic warping waves whenever it detected metal, and so it send the Aerialbots and their ship twisting through space. Although the Decepticons tried to intervene, the Autobots eventually recovered Silverbolt and his injured colleagues. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}}

Following a lengthy repair cycle, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots were ready for action when Galvatron and the Decepticons laid siege to Cybertron one last time. Transporting to Cybertron from Earth, they raced into battle (on foot, for some reason). Silverbolt and the team got the drop on the Stunticons when they merged into Superion, smashing and scattering the 'Cons before they could form Menasor. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} As the fighting continued, the Aerialbots battled Abominus as Superion and later separated to trade blaster fire with the Stunticons. The warring only came to an end once [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s bombs blew up [[Vector Sigma]] and annihilated the planet.{{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

Silverbolt was stationed at Autobot City when a volcano erupted in [[Peru]], threatening a nearby town. Ultra Magnus sent out the Protectobots and [[Trainbot]]s, but they ran into trouble with the Headmasters and [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]]s. Silverbolt pleaded with Ultra Magnus to send his men in as reinforcements, but Magnus was worried about leaving the base unguarded by sending out too many of his troops. As Ultra Magnus wracked his brain trying to deal with the problem, the Autobot Headmasters had time to ''fly from [[Athenia]]''. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}}

When [[buridanka|a giant carnivorous plant]] attacked San Francisco, Ultra Magnus dispatched Silverbolt and the Aerialbots to combat it. Although they made frequent bombing runs on the organism, the Aerialbots were unable to stop it. Only the arrival of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] and his powerful giant [[Transtector]] brought an end to the creature's rampage. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} Silverbolt and the Aerialbots were part of a strike team that flew to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to disrupt Scorponok's gathering of Decepticons. They immediately formed Superion upon entering the battle. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}}

When one of Scorponok's Death Towers emerged in Washington D.C., Silverbolt and the Aerialbots were dispatched to investigate it. As part of Superion, Silverbolt participated in the Autobots final battle with Scorponok's Decepticons at the North Pole. He lent his energies to the Headmasters' [[Head Formation]] to revitalize Fortress Maximus at the critical moment. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

=====Metrowars=====
As part of Superion, Silverbolt was stationed at [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]] while it was under reconstruction after an attack from [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]]. {{storylink|Metrowars}}

===''Prime Wars Trilogy'' marketing material===
[[Silverbolt (G1)#Prime Wars Trilogy marketing material|Silverbolt]] was the leader of the [[Aerialbot (G1)#Prime Wars Trilogy marketing material|Aerialbots]]. {{storylink|Silverbolt (G1)#Combiner Wars|Silverbolt's bio}} At one point, [[Wheeljack (G1)#Prime Wars Trilogy marketing material|Wheeljack]] helped rebuild them.

[[File:UniteWarriorsOffshot Silverbolt Cooking Energon.jpg|200px|thumb]]
In the 2030s, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots deployed from Metroplex to put a stop to the Stunticons' latest bout of mischief. {{storylink|Today Is Us Stunticons' Annual Holiday Demolition Race!}} This led to a battle in which Superion was seized by [[Grand Scourge]] but saved by [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], allowing the Aerialbots to escape. They went on to accompany Broadside to the [[Legends World]] and help him defeat [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]], who then started living with them on Broadside's giant [[transtector]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 53|Bonus Edition Vol. 53}} The Aerialbots later visited Metroplex, another visitor to this world.

=====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' comic=====
When the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] confronted Menasor at a baseball stadium, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots arrived as back-up. They formed Superion to engage Menasor and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. After [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] was injured, Superion targeted the Decepticon combiners' legs, shaking them loose and giving the smaller Protectobots a chance to link up with the Decepticon gestalts and override control of their bodies. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 5|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #5}} After the Autobots discovered a utopia island paradise, it was besieged by Megatron and the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]], who wanted to build an impregnable fortress. [[Kenji]] radioed for help, and Optimus Prime sent Silverbolt and the Aerialbots to the rescue. As Superion, they fought off [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], using their smarts to outthink the evil warriors. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 6|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #6}}

=====''The Great Transformer War''=====
In 2010, Galvatron kidnapped Doctor [[Dalton]] of [[Eran]] to utilize his skills and improve the Decepticons' combiner technology. Silverbolt and the Aerialbots joined the Protectobots in assaulting Trypticon, in hopes of rescuing the hostage scientist. Silverbolt and his team formed Superion for a first strike, but the Decepticon combiners countered with their deployment modes, launching the Stunticon and [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] troops with enough force to tear Superion apart. The Protectobots stood guard over [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] as he performed battlefield triage on the Aerialbots in his repair bay mode, bringing them back online. Silverbolt then transformed into launcher mode and unleashed the Aerialbots in their own scramble attack, blinding Menasor and Bruticus long enough for the Autobots to escape safely with Dalton. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}

====Full Throttle Scramble Power!====
The Decepticons, up to their usual tricks, threatened to plunder Earth's resources. Silverbolt asked Optimus Prime to allow his Aerialbots to deal with the Stunticons, currently attacking a power plant. Optimus was hesitant, as the other Autobots pointed out that the Aerialbots were too young and inexperienced to go out into the field for such daunting a task. Silverbolt pleaded his case, stating that the Stunticons were the Aerialbots' bitter rivals. After briefly contemplating the situation, Optimus allowed Silverbolt and his team to deal with the threat. The two teams met, and quickly combined into their gestalt forms to do battle. Though Superion was initially crippled by the [[Omega Wave Cannon]], a new weapon controlled by the Decepticons, Superion held his own until the Autobots dispatched enough reinforcements to send the Decepticons fleeing. {{storylink|Full Throttle Scramble Power!}}

[[File:Silverbolt aerialbots over america.jpg|thumb|left|<div align="center">'''THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!'''</div>]]
The Aerialbots were then created when [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]] filmed [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s combining sequence. Using the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, Optimus Prime gave the Aerialbots life. While the Aerialbots were being tested, Prime ordered them to stop the Decepticon assault on the [[Hoover Dam]].

The fight went well, but [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] used his super-sonic ability to bring out a Transformer's deepest fear; it warped Silverbolt's fear of heights (ironic for an Aerialbot) and forced him to land. The Aerialbots prevailed in the fight, however, and as the Decepticons fled, Silverbolt combined them all to form [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], trying to stop a Decepticon drill from absorbing all of the Hoover Dam's electricity.

Superion's reflex was to strike out and kill [[Ricky Vasquez|the human]] who held [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] in his gun form, but Silverbolt mentally stepped in and prevented him from doing so. He forced the Aerialbots to disassemble. The human fired Megatron's gun at the drill, winning the day for the Autobots. {{storylink|Aerialbots over America!}}

[[File:Aerialbots minds wiped marvel 22.jpg|thumb|"Wheeljack, did you unquestioningly kill the Aerialbots, as per my orders?" "Yep—sure thing, Prime!"]]
Nonetheless, Silverbolt's mind was wiped along with his fellow Aerialbots shortly afterwards, due to Optimus Prime's dissatisfaction with the mission. Optimus then gave them life once more with the Creation Matrix, hoping their second activation would yield better results. Later, when [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] was transporting the human [[Donny Finkleberg]] on a scouting mission, they came under fire from the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]]. Silverbolt and the Aerialbots were sent to do battle with the new enemy team. Both combiners fused, creating [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and Superion. The fanatical robot-hating [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Josie Beller]], also known as Circuit Breaker, fired upon Superion during the clash, crippling him heavily and leaving Menasor the victor. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic!}} Silverbolt and the Aerialbots, left unconscious in the battle's aftermath, were captured by Circuit Breaker and the government's anti-robot militia, [[Intelligence and Information Institute|Triple-I]]. As these humans' prisoners, the Aerialbots' bodies were disassembled for study, while their faces were mounted on Circuit Breaker's wall as trophies. They were only released, along with several other Autobot captives, after Circuit Breaker was forced to elicit their aid by combining them into a [[Circuit Breaker's Autobot suit|giant mechanical suit]] to defeat the [[Battlecharger]]s. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}}

''The Autobots several failures during one of Optimus's recent absences convinced the Autobot leader to fake his own death, in order to teach his soldiers how to survive without him. Silverbolt was among the Autobots who happened upon the remains of a facsimile construct of Prime, torn to shreds after a staged solo mission the later had taken on in Decepticon territory.'' {{storylink|Prey!}} ''A funeral was held for the Autobots' fallen leader, attended by all. At least, until Optimus spontaneously reappeared on Earth standing atop his headstone, and the whole matter was quickly forgotten.'' {{storylink|Resurrection!}}

Optimus Prime sent Silverbolt and the Aerialbots to back up Bumblebee as he investigated possible Decepticon activity at the unveiling of [[Power Station Alpha]]. They arrived just in time to see Bumblebee being blown away by the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] team guarding the power station and combined into Superion in an attempt to retrieve Bumblebee's body. {{storylink|Blood on the Tracks}} Upon learning that Optimus Prime had died in battle while the Aerialbots were on their mission, Superion immediately disengaged and returned to the Ark. {{storylink|Power Struggle}} Silverbolt was one of the several Autobots who watched on as Ratchet futilely tried to repair Optimus Prime's body. Once the Autobot leader was declared irreparable, the Autobots held a funeral service for their leader, and launched his remains into space. {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend!}} Later, the Autobots united with both G.I. Joe and [[Cobra]] against the Decepticons, who planned to use Power Station Alpha to destroy the world. Silverbolt and the Aerialbots entered the battle and once more formed Superion, this time to defeat [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!}}

[[File:Silverbolt perchance to dream.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|"This must be a flashback... I'm in monochrome!"]]
''They would battle Menasor again at a Blackrock plant, and this time the fusion worked so well everyone found out the others' weaknesses and neuroses. Horrified at his fear of heights being found out, Silverbolt drove Superion into a vicious, brutal fury.'' {{storylink|...Perchance to Dream}}

''Following this, Silverbolt and the other Aerialbots would come under [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]'s command to investigate enemy activity in a small East Coast town. Little did the group suspect that Jetfire had been tasked with undermining them throughout the mission in order to test their psychological limits. Early on, Skydive and Air Raid teased Silverbolt over his displacement as team leader, unaware on how deep their words cut. Silverbolt became convinced that he was going to be stripped of his rank permanently.''

''Decepticon signatures were detected in short order, but any hope of forming an organized battle plan was dashed when Slingshot rushed a surprise attack. Silverbolt grumpily urged the others to join in, knowing full well that their teammate would find himself out of his depth if allowed to charge in alone. The Autobots were met with Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp siphoning electricity into energon cubes. The Decepticons' cache was detonated by a stray shot, and both Thundercracker and Skywarp managed to escape. Desperate to prove his worth, Silverbolt pushed himself to catch Starscream before Jetfire could. He got more than he bargained for, as Starscream shot Jetfire down, sending him into the nearby waters. Silverbolt was forced to call upon the other Aerialbots to combine into Superion, but the combiner proved as destructive and slow-witted as ever, and his target escaped. Despite the mission ending on a sour note, Jetfire gave the Aerialbots a positive review, having been unconscious during Superion's poor showing.'' {{storylink|The Return of the Transformers}}

''Silverbolt eventually admitted his acrophobia to his fellow Autobots, but found support where he had expected ridicule. With his comrades assisting him, he eventually managed to overcome his fear of heights.'' {{storylink|The Magnificent Six!}}

After the death of Optimus Prime, Silverbolt was among several Autobots gathered to determine who would next lead their forces. The meeting was interrupted by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]], who demanded that command was handed to him. The other Autobots dismissed him at first, but when Grimlock proved himself a worthy leader against [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], they reevaluated their opinion of the Dinobot. After Trypticon was driven off, Silverbolt and the rest of the Autobots voted Grimlock to take command. {{storylink|King of the Hill!}}

As Grimlock took over the Autobots, Silverbolt and the other Aerialbots took an extended leave of absence from the war, since the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] commander focused Autobot resources on repairing their fallen comrades and prepping the Ark to become spaceworthy again. The Autobot craft launched into orbit in pursuit of [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], who had been partaking in overtly mutinous behavior. Though the Autobots managed to capture Blaster's [[Blast Off (G1)|spaceship]], within it they only found a [[Spacehikers|quartet of small human children and a stuffed bear]]. In order to draw out his real target, Grimlock put the humans on trial, a procession which Silverbolt attended. He was visibly displeased when Grimlock sentenced the kids to death for aiding Blaster, though thankfully this was all a ruse on Grimlock's end to draw Blaster into the open. {{storylink|Spacehikers!}}

Silverbolt disembarked with the rest of the Earth-bound Autobots from the Ark onto Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], where he and the other Autobots witnessed a battle for leadership between [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]. This was a moment of opportunity for [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s Decepticons, who attacked Silverbolt and the others on the moon's surface. Though the Decepticons struck a devastating first blow, Blaster and Grimlock managed to temporarily put aside their differences in order to lead their troops together. Though many Autobots were severely damaged, the Decepticons were successfully pushed into a retreat. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

[[File:Silverbolt dreadwing down.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.8]]
''When an battle between [[Getaway]] and [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] resulted in a human getting critically injured, a life-support system was put together to keep the injured party alive. But when [[Throttle (G1)|Throttle]] stole the power cell needed to power said system, Silverbolt sent out Fireflight and Skydive to chase him down and retrieve the battery. The two Aerialbots botched the mission, with [[Dreadwing (G1)|Dreadwing]], Throttle's vehicle, winding up on the ocean floor along with the thief's loot. A team headed by Optimus was forced to take on the arduous task of heading underwater, and battle the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]] to retrieve the power cell before the human in their care succumbed to his injuries. Upon their success, Silverbolt flew over to their location and gave them a lift back to dry land.'' {{storylink|Dreadwing Down!}}

When an [[Underbase]]-powered [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] announced that he would "destroy the cities of [[New York City|New York]], [[Tokyo]], and [[Buenos Aires]]," Silverbolt was among the allied Autobot/Decepticon teams sent ahead to New York City. He didn't get much of a chance to battle the villain, as he was blasted out of the sky upon his initial approach, resulting in his death. {{storylink|Dark Star}} ''Silverbolt was kept in stasis aboard the Ark with the other Underbase casualties and a resurrected Optimus Prime considered reviving Silverbolt with a fragment of the Matrix, before ultimately deciding to give the gift of life to the planet Earth instead.'' {{storylink|The Greatest Gift of All!}}

[[File:LastAutobot-Silverbolt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
After obtaining [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from [[Hydrus Four|Hydrus 4]], Grimlock indiscriminately pumped the restorative substance through the Ark's life support chambers, reviving Silverbolt along with other fallen Autobots. Silverbolt and the others were immediately shoved into battle against [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} Following Unicron's defeat, it was discovered that Cybertron had only avoided being devoured to crumble apart anyways; Primus's consciousness had been sundered during the battle, and without it, Cybertron was losing its cohesion. Silverbolt attended a meeting where it was decided that the now allied Autobots and Decepticons would evacuate the planet. {{storylink|Exodus!}} The Decepticons, having quickly given up on the alliance, tried to strand the Autobots on Cybertron as it self-destructed, but Grimlock had hidden away a small fleet of Decepticon warships. Silverbolt, suffering Prowl's impatient badgering, piloted one of the warships to [[Klo]] for a last stand against the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Last Autobot?}} Unfortunately, the Autobots stumbled into an ambush as soon as they made landfall. Silverbolt was among the many casualties of this battle, his battered-up corpse seen littering the battlefield afterwards. He was presumably resurrected by the [[Last Autobot]], who arrived alongside a revived Optimus Prime to turn the tide and send the Decepticons running off into exile. {{storylink|End of the Road!

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
[[File:Silverbolt sunstreaker perchance to dream.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|left|"Hey, who's the joker that left this cyber-bug in my CR chamber?"]]
Kept in inactive rest after his destruction at the hands of Starscream, Silverbolt was revived by [[Galvatron II|Galvatron]] when the future Decepticon infiltrated the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and attempted to reprogram several Autobots into working for him, using their darker impulses as a focus. Galvatron succeeded in reactivating Silverbolt and several others, but failed to command their loyalty, and they turned his own [[mind bug]] technology against him. {{storylink|...Perchance to Dream}} When Optimus Prime took the Ark out into space shortly thereafter, leaving [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] in charge of Autobot activity on Earth, Silverbolt joined the new Earthforce in opposing the remaining Decepticon factions, led by Megatron and [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|Break-Away!}} Although Grimlock had promised Optimus Prime that he would show restraint on Earth, Silverbolt was present at the first meeting of the Earthforce where their leader ''literally'' threw the [[Autobot Code|rule book]] out of the window. {{storylink|Once upon a Time...}}

[[File:Aerialbots the house that wheeljack built.jpg|thumb]]
Perhaps at Silverbolt's request, the other Aerialbots were also revived in short order, and joined Earthforce as well. When Wheeljack's new defense grid for the Earthbase went awry, Silverbolt assembled the Aerialbots to fly air support for Prowl as he attempted to re-enter the base and shut down the system from the inside. {{storylink|The House that Wheeljack Built!}}

Sometime later, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots were operating as Superion when [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] zapped them with a [[cerebro-shell]], causing the super-robot to rampage through the countryside. A human named [[Irwin Spoon]] eventually managed to climb inside and remove the shell from Superion's cerebral circuitry. {{storylink|Inside Story!}}

Optimus selected six of his finest warriors, Silverbolt among them, to travel to the [[Acid Wastes]] and investigate the ruins of the [[Underbase]] located there. With [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] approaching their homeworld, Optimus hoped to use the Underbase's connection to Cybertron's core as a substitute for the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] in battling the evil planet. Though Silverbolt was eager to do his part, [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]], [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] made excuses not to go. Frustrated over this apparent show of cowardice, Optimus sent them all along despite their objections. As they traveled through [[Stanix]], Silverbolt found himself needing to prod along his hesitant companions. However, all attempts to move them forward failed once they reached [[Yuss]]. Silverbolt puzzled out that the others had lived through a traumatic experience in the town, but was accosted by a swarm of mutated mechs before he could inquire the subject. The leader of the mutants revealed himself to be [[Megadeath (G1)|Megadeath]], the Decepticon responsible for the others' past trauma. Silverbolt was knocked out and the group was taken captive.

[[File:Magnificent Six the end.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
When he awoke, Silverbolt found that the others' disposition had yet to improve. In an attempt to shock them out of their self-pity and despair, he mocked his compatriots, calling them "the Autobots' resident losers." This actually worked, and the others told him how, early in the war, Megadeath had tortured and humiliated them to their breaking point. When they had finally managed to escape, they crippled Megadeath and left him to die. Regrettably, they failed to disarm the Neutronic bombs that went on to transform the area into the Acid Wastes and mutate its inhabitants. Silverbolt convinced his comrades that they were stronger than they thought, and the group's confidence slowly returned.

While Silverbolt freed the mutant mechs from Megadeath's psychological control and guided them out of the area, Prowl and the others sought to excise their demons by confronting their torturer. After his task was done, Silverbolt returned to witness his teammates' battle, fearing they would break the Autobot code if left unsupervised. The Autobots stopped short of delivering a killing blow, but Megadeath committed suicide instead of allowing himself to face justice for his war crimes. Having found closure, the Autobots continued on with their mission, and reached the former site of the Underbase with their new wards in tow. {{storylink|The Magnificent Six!}}

=====Another Time & Place=====
Silverbolt was part of the Autobot force who travelled to [[Hydrus Four]] to rescue the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. Along with his fellow Aerialbots, [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] and [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]], he performed a bombing run on the Decepticon-held medcenter where they were trying to revive Megatron. {{storylink|Another Time & Place}}

After receiving reports from [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] that [[Quintesson|strange goings-on]] were happening around the [[Junkion (planet)|planet of Junk]], [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]] sent the Silverbolt and the Aerialbots to investigate. Encountering a [[Quintesson Cruiser]] above the planet, they formed Superion, who fired his jets at the ship's force fields. The resultant explosion not only damaged the Quintesson craft but also knocked Superion unconscious. He was recovered by Sky Lynx, who returned him to Cybertron for repairs. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

[[File:Jazz silverbolt prowl escalation.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]
After the defeat of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and his Decepticons on [[Klo]], the Autobots split into smaller combat units throughout the universe. Once Optimus Prime and Grimlock learned of the threat posed by the second generation [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian army]], though, the Autobot forces reconsolidated under their command. Slingshot and the other Aerialbots were first seen after the Autobots had retreated to an asteroid sanctuary for retraining. They were, um, outsmarted by [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] during the war games, and led into a Dinobot ambush. {{storylink|The Power and the Glory}}

Later, when Grimlock decided to countermand Prime's orders and come to his aid against the Decepticons on Earth, Silverbolt was part of the rescue team he assembled. {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}} Optimus recuperated from his injuries for a few days afterwards, only for Megatron to burst into the medical bay following a brief off-world absence. Silverbolt rushed to Optimus's aid, only to find that Megatron had come to forge an alliance. Optimus accepted, but the Autobots were soon called to the planet [[Ethos]] to repel invaders, a conflict Megatron refused to involve himself in. {{storylink|Escalation!|Tales of Earth Part Five}} The Autobots found the culprit behind the invasion once more to be [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s army, and Silverbolt helped in staving off an impeding genocide. The Autobots found themselves outmatched, but managed a victory when Megatron decided to have the Decepticons join the fray after all. {{storylink|Escalation!}} Silverbolt was also involved in the major offensive against the Cybertronians at Autobase Earth. {{storylink|Total War!}}

Deciding that there was no more room for rogue heroics among the Autobot ranks after he had been given command of Cybertron, [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity#Classics|Prowl]] traveled to [[Azure]] alongside Silverbolt and [[Ironhide (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity#Classics|Ironhide]] to reel Grimlock back into the Autobot forces. The trio tracked down Slag and Sludge and arranged through them a meeting with their leader. This meeting wound up being cut short by a distress call from Earth, and Grimlock agreed to accompany the Autobots aboard the ''[[Graviton (Classics)|Graviton]]'' to respond to it. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 50|Grimlock's profile in Club magazine #50}}

During their journey, the ''[[Graviton (Classics)|Graviton]]'' was pulled into the [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon]] universe and deposited near that universe's prehistoric [[Earth]]. After being shot down by the ''[[Talon (Classics)|Talon]]'', the Autobots adopted organic alternate modes to survive the ambient [[Energon radiation]], with Silverbolt taking the form of an eagle. {{storylink|Shattered Time}} After discovering that three [[stasis pod]]s were missing from the ship, the Autobots went in search of them, only to find Megatron had found them first. Silverbolt, [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] were bombarded by the newly activated [[Autojetter]], and it was only the arrival of [[Depth Charge (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Depth Charge]] and the recovery of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] that saved them. {{storylink|Shattered Expectations (BWSG)|Shattered Expectations}}

[[File:BWSG-silverboltrobotmode.jpg|thumb|left|200px|I don't even know what my weapons are supposed to be doing!]]
The Autobots retreated across a rock bridge, and watched as Magnus faced off against Megatron, dealing their foe a temporary defeat. Back at the ''Graviton'', Depth Charge gave the "Maximals" more of an explanation regarding his presence. {{storylink|Shattered Paths}} When they located their missing energy purifier, the Maximals went out to fetch it. Despite the new ability of Ironhide, Prowl, and Silverbolt to merge into [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]], they were trounced by [[Piranacon (G1)#Classics|God Neptune]]. {{storylink|Shattered Hope}} Returning to the ship, the Maximals fueled up before joining Depth Charge, who had located the Matrix he was seeking. The Maximals kept a security system occupied long enough for Magnus to retrieve the Matrix in question, however a short time later they were confronted by Megatron piloting a giant mech. {{storylink|Shattered Balance}} Silverbolt again took part in merging into Magnaboss, but the combiner was soundly defeated by Megatron's [[Gigastorm Armor]]. The Maximals were moments later pulled into a dimensional rift created by Ultra Magnus. {{storylink|Shattered Destiny}}

Silverbolt and his comrades arrived on modern-era negative-polarity Cybertron, where the [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Cliffjumper]] of their reality brought them up to speed. {{storylink|Falling into Place}} After being retrofitted with technological alt modes again by [[Needlenose (SG)|Needlenose]] and [[Spinister (SG)|Spinister]], Silverbolt traveled to positive-Earth to bolster the forces against the evil [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]] and his [[Terminus Blade]]. {{storylink|Distant Fissures}} They survived Magnus's attacks thanks to the timely arrival of [[Nexus Prime]]. {{storylink|Restoration}}

Following the infusion of [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] into his systems, Silverbolt blacked out during a hypersonic burn and shot away into space, only being saved by [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]'s fast reactions. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Two}} Sometime around [[2007]], he was being kept in stasis in the [[Nursery (Cybertron)|Nursery]] alongside [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] and [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]]. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}}

[[File:Blaster silverbolt destiny.jpg|thumb|left]]
Once Grimlock had returned from [[Nebulos]] with technology developed by the resurrected [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], new bodies were constructed for Silverbolt, Blaster, Inferno and Huffer and they were kept in the maxi-malady (secure) unit known as "[[Garage|The Garage]]" for testing, though Silverbolt and the others railed against this inactivity. Soon enough, Blaster hacked into [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s communications grid, alerting the Neo-Decepticon commander to the recuperating Autobots' interference and the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] were dispatched to eliminate them. They defended themselves admirably, though Silverbolt was wounded by [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]]'s napalm during the battle, only being saved by Inferno's quick reactions. Having proved themselves, they rejoined the Autobots proper. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Two}}

Reunited with the rest of the Aerialbots, Silverbolt was sent on a mission to investigate a Neo-Decepticon threat but [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] called them back before they encountered any resistance. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Three}} Soon afterwards, [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s ''[[Warworld]]'' attacked Cybertron and Silverbolt, along with pretty much every other flying Autobot, was deployed in response. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Four}} This massed attack proved to be a feint to distract the ''Warworld'' from the [[Wreckers]], who successfully boarded and neutralised the Decepticon mothership. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Five}} Once Rodimus Prime had sealed off their universe from the multiverse to defeat the Matrix entity, all surviving Cybertronians were rendered mortal, presumably including Silverbolt, who eventually died of old age. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}

===The Special Teams===
Silverbolt was created on Cybertron, where Vector Sigma first ignited the spark of life within him. Silverbolt, and the rest of the Aerialbots were nearly convinced to join the Decepticons upon their initial alliance with the Autobots. This was due to a fault in the Aerialbots’ programming, present due to a sudden drop in the mega-computer when they were being created. Silverbolt was capable of stripping electrons from air particles as he flew, and then discharging the build of energy as a weapon. The Aerialbots were sent over by Optimus to help the Protectobots defend the [[Pullen Power Plant]] from the Decepticons. Happening upon Bruticus and Menasor teaming-up to take on Defensor, the Aerialbots combined into Superion to even the odds. Bruticus fell early in the battle, prompting the Aerialbots to separate and give chase to Starscream while Defensor took over the fight with Menasor. {{storylink|The Special Teams}}

===Ladybird Books continuity===
When an Autobot salvage expedition was unexpectedly ambushed by Decepticons, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] became concerned that the Cons had developed a new form of surveillance. Silverbolt suggested his men perform a full scan of the area for any spy installation. The Aerialbots were unable to locate any sites on the ground, but a ghost of a radar contact at high altitude caught their attention. Forming Superion, they flew as high as possible and confirmed that ''something'' was out there in the upper atmosphere. {{storylink|Galvatron's Air Attack}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
Silverbolt and his fellow Aerialbots became one of the first Autobot "[[Special Teams]]" several million years ago, adopting the process used to create [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] in order to become Superion. The unchecked destructive power of these super-robots was eventually recognized by the Autobot and Decepticon factions, however. By the time of the [[Dark Ages]], the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]] had been ratified, strictly forbidding Special Teams from operating together on any given faction, in order to prevent these titans from tearing the planet apart. {{storylink|Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|War Within: The Dark Ages}}

[[File:DWPrimeDirective6 Autobots wanttheirheads.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Although they were apparently not part of the Ark's original crew, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots somehow arrived on Earth and were part of Optimus Prime's unit in the 1980s. The war on the human homeworld raged until 1998 when the Decepticons were finally defeated, and in the following year, the ''[[Ark II]]'' was constructed to take the Transformers home. However, the ship was sabotaged by the rogue engineer-turned arms dealer Adam Rook, known as [[Lazarus]], and General [[Robert Hallo]], who planned on reprogramming the Transformers into the service of the United States military. The Aerialbots were some of the few Transformers who were not recovered by Lazarus for his reprogramming venture, now aimed at hiring out the Transformers to the highest bidder. Instead, they lay immobile in the Arctic waters until reactivated as Superion in 2002 by Optimus Prime, using the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 2|Prime Directive #2}}

Silverbolt and the Aerialbots in their Superion form, battled the Decepticons in the Northwest Territories of [[Canada]] {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 3|Prime Directive #3}} and again in [[San Francisco]]. During the latter conflict, Superion was broken down into his individual components while battling [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 4|Prime Directive #4}} When Megatron failed to convince Optimus Prime to join his cause, Silverbolt and his team were freed and eventually reunified in order to intercept a nuclear missile (launched by General Hallo) headed for the California coastline. Superion, and by extension the Aerialbots, were destroyed in stopping the missile. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6|Prime Directive #6}}

Before the war, Silverbolt was a law enforcer and member of captain [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Orion Pax]]'s team, serving as their eye in the sky and participating in the capture of [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]. {{storylink|Law and Disorder}} During their hunt for the Decepticon spy [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]], he reported to Orion where their target was headed and the failed attempts of the other Autobots at taking him down. Once everyone else was defeated or distracted, Silverbolt went after Soundwave on his own, only to crash when [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] ripped off his port stabilizer. {{storylink|The Hunt for Soundwave}} He later participated in the search for the insurgent [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Hot Rod]], but was unable to assist his teammates after they entered the maze-like [[Acropolex]]. {{storylink|Ruins}} After Orion Pax had become Optimus Prime, Silverbolt and his Aerialbots responded to his rallying call for additional support against the Decepticons and fought against the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] in the battle over [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. {{storylink|Broadcast}}

When [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] began his rampage across Cybertron, Silverbolt first provided aerial surveillance and later led the Aerialbots in an attack that served to collapse a building on top of the beast. {{storylink|The Illusion of Control}} Four million years ago, Silverbolt attended a victory celebration on Cybertron after the Autobots stopped a Decepticon energon convoy from reaching its destination.

Silverbolt was one of the Autobots who took part in a battle for [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]] under the command of [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]]. The skirmish went nowhere and both sides were forced to abandon the world when their war tore it asunder. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 2: A Lonely Pillar on the Plain|A Lonely Pillar on the Plain}}

In the modern era, with Optimus Prime leading the Autobots in the field, Silverbolt became Operation Commander on the [[Autobot Orbital Command Hub]]; [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] was one of his senior officers. He was involved in trying to find the attempted assassin of [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], deducing the assailant had to be an Autobot. To catch the would-be killer, Silverbolt and Blaster concocted a plan where the Autobot morale-booster set himself as bait. Silverbolt and his men waited as backup while Blaster dealt with the assassin (who turned out to be a mind-controlled [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]]), but he nearly stormed into the room when he saw that "the Voice" was not armed with a weapon. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

When Galvatron began to fire at the planet's surface using [[Kimia Facility]]'s particle cannon, Silverbolt led all available flying Autobots in an attack on the facility. Though he didn't know what Galvatron was targeting, he knew the barrage had to be stopped, and volunteered to destroy Kimia by tossing explosives into its barrel. He didn't need to, as it was soon blown up by Autobots on the inside. {{storylink|Chaos Part Two: Numbers|Numbers}}

After the Chaos war, Silverbolt's fellow Aerialbot [[Barrel Roll]] died in an explosion and Silverbolt, unable to trust any Decepticons after four million years of war, blamed the survivor, [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] and would've killed the Decepticon if not for Wheeljack spoiling his aim. Shortly after the incident, Bumblebee agreed to accept [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] into the government, which made Silverbolt even more furious. He attacked Bumblebee and [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] before announcing that he and his Aerialbots were leaving Bumblebee's government. {{storylink|Stick Together}}

[[File:Silverbolt Angry Stick Together.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]
Shortly after leaving Iacon behind and traveling into the untamed wilderness Cybertron had become, the Aerialbots were the first to fall victim to [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s experiments with a [[combiner]] energy that influenced their minds and made them turn on each other. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} Silverbolt's comrades teamed up to attack him, though he himself remained immune for a time, something he believed to be a side effect of him never truly feeling like part of the team. He avoided their attacks for three days before he too began to feel the effects and made a recording of his experiences as a warning to whoever came next. {{storylink|Night and the City}} [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]], sent out to find the lost Aerialbots, first discovered a broken wing belonging to their Silverbolt, {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt (IDW)|Dinobot Hunt}} but by the time he tracked the warning message to its source, he found the Aerialbot leader had succumbed to the influence and, to cope, merged with his team into a single being: [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|Night and the City}}

Leading the motley group of Autobots back to Iacon, Superion took part in the ensuing battle against Megatron's resurgent Decepticons, but fell in battle against a Prowl-controlled Devastator. The surviving Aerialbots, still combined, were left comatose and reliant on life support, {{storylink|Three Monologues}} and remained that way for some time until [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]], hoping to recruit a combiner of his own, got his hands on the [[Enigma of Combination]]. Thanks to the efforts of [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]], the team was brought back online, with two new members to replace the fallen Slingshot. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}}

As part of Starscream's larger political games, Silverbolt and the new Aerialbots were deployed to the planet [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]] to stop Menasor, who Starscream had deliberately unleashed on the planet to cause chaos. Silverbolt was less than enthusiastic about having to combine again, although Superion was able to dispatch the Stunticon combiner. The team was easily able to dispatch the Stunticons, {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} and remained on Caminus to use their combined strength to help with the subsequent cleanup. {{storylink|The Possible Light}} Following another clash with Prowl's Devastator form, Superion was bested and collapsed into his components. Starscream thought otherwise and used the Enigma to forcibly reintegrate them back together. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}}

[[File:EdgeOfTheEarth AerialbotsAttacked.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3]]
As the [[Council of Worlds]] took shape, Optimus Prime expressed concern that Superion hadn't separated back into his original components. Prowl, having experienced the addictive power of combination firsthand, remarked that Superion ''was'' the new default form for the Aerialbots. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} Though the Aerialbots were evidently happiest as Superion, they disassembled themselves from time to time after Superion joined Prime's peacekeeping forces on Earth. In one such instance, Silverbolt and the Aerialbots performed a horticultural "bombing run" in the Middle East, releasing fast-growing plants to help feed the local humans. Silverbolt and the Aerialbots then fled the air resistance they faced, reluctantly holding to Prime's orders to not engage any human counter-strikes. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 2: Edge of the Earth|Edge of the Earth}}

[[File:AsAboveSoBelow SuperionIsDead.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb]]
As Optimus and Soundwave moved to take out [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]'s rogue Decepticon cabal, Superion and [[Victorion]] provided support for the alliance. They discovered, however, that the Decepticon conqueror had managed to co-opt the source code of the Enigma, granting him the power to merge and separate Cybertronians at will. Able to resist its deleterious effects, Superion managed to nullify Galvatron's weapon by copying a fraction of the interconnected code into his neocortex and splitting himself apart. Unable to re-combine for fear of restoring the power of Galvatron's enigma, Silverbolt announced that Superion was "dead." {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 5: As Above...So Below|As Above...So Below}} He and the other triumphant Autobots were subsequently evacuated from the battle. {{storylink|White Light}}

Silverbolt and the Aerialbots returned to Cybertron and took to the skies when [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]] descended on their homeworld in his [[Nemesis (BW)|personal vessel]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}} He was also part of Optimus Prime's fleet that confronted [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] and the [[Maximal]] army in orbit above [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]]. {{storylink|Last Stand (Unicron)|Last Stand}} Silverbolt engaged Unicron's forces again when the planet-eater attacked Cybertron. {{storylink|Our Finest}} On Earth, he combined with his fellow Aerialbots into Superion to help defeat Unicron for good. {{storylink|Ceremony}}

===''Kre-O'' online comic===
Silverbolt was present at [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] when the Decepticons attacked. {{storylink|Two Giant Bases! Everybody Getting Along, Come On, Fight!}}

The Aerialbots responded to another attack on Metroplex by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], and [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], though Silverbolt refused to fight in plane mode because of his fear of heights and had them form Superion instead. The Decepticon combiners exploited his weakness by tossing Superion into the air, scaring him too much to fight, but the Aerialbots separated and recombined on ground level where Superion could safely dispatch the Decepticons by rolling at their legs. {{storylink|Kre-O Micro-Changers Combiners comic}}

===2006 IDW ''Beast Wars'' continuity===
As the Great War drew to a close, Silverbolt, Prowl, and Ironhide received news that, in a final and terrible confrontation, both Optimus Prime and Galvatron had perished. These three, and the rest of the Autobot high council, divided leadership duties over the Autobots between themselves, and took on the post of "Primal Council" in the process. Prime's death hit Silverbolt especially hard, and he proposed to the other council-members that they take the time to recover from this blow to their morale. He was overruled by Prowl, who proposed they extend an olive branch to the remaining Decepticon troops in an effort to end the war without further bloodshed. The rest of the council agreed to try out Prowl's plan, much to the frustration of the [[Under-3|last surviving member]] of "Unit-3." Despite this upstart's aggressive protests, an [[Tigatron|operative from Unit-2]] was sent out to approach the remaining generals in the Decepticon army amicably. But other troubles loomed ahead, including a report from the late [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] that transwarp reactions had been detected en-masse recently.

[[File:Maximalimperium.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb]]
One general in the enemy force refused the Autobots' call for peace. Having renamed himself "[[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]," he led [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], among others, on a rampage. This forced SIlverbolt and the other members of the council to intervene personally. Silverbolt joined forces with Prowl, Ironhide, Unit-3, and Tigatron to form the gestalt [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]], and pushed back as transwarp energy rained down on Cybertron, turning all those it struck into a fluctuating quantum state. Thankfully, the higher-ups in the Decepticon hierarchy then arrived on the battlefield, and elected to surrender to the Autobots. Thereafter, the Pax Cybertronia was signed, ushering an era of peace on Cybertron. {{storylink|Dawn of the Predacus}}

Though Silverbolt's aerial insecurities became mostly a thing of the past, he still muttered a short prayer or mantra every time he took flight. Though taking to the air might bring about some queasiness in him still, Silverbolt believed that courage was not the absence of fear, but the ability to overcome it. {{Storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook}}

Some time into the Pax Cybertronia, Silverbolt became a member of the Maximal counterpart to the [[Tripredacus Council]], presiding over the [[Maximal Imperium]] alongside former Autobot teammates [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]. The three of them sent [[Ikard]] to request a report from Big Convoy, but he refused, citing his need to investigate the [[Angolmois Energy|Angolmois]]-fueled murders. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 2|The Ascending #2}}

Pursuing the AllSpark after it had been launched into space, Silverbolt was one of the many Autobots that found his way to Earth. There, he participated in a great battle within a human settlement against the Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe|The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe}}

===''My Little Pony/Transformers''===
During his invasion of Cybertron, [[King Sombra]] used his magic to enslave many Cybertronians, including Silverbolt and the other Aerialbots.

Part of the ''Ark'' crew and the leader of the Aerialbots, Silverbolt was revived ahead of his team so he and [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]] could rescue [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] from the [[Pacific Ocean]].

When the Decepticons launched an all-out attack on the ''Ark'', Silverbolt led his team into battle, combining into [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] to meet [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 21|Transformers #21}}

When the Autobots learned that the Decepticons were planning to create a new batch of Decepticons, the Autobots responded by returning to Cybertron and building the Aerialbots. Both they and the Stunticons were brought to life at the same time before Vector Sigma, and Silverbolt and the Aerialbots fought to defend the supercomputer from the Decepticons. Though it seemed that the Decepticons might win thanks to the power of Menasor, the Aerialbots managed to rout the Decepticons and chase them away. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1 (Legends)|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}} Silverbolt and the rest of the Aerialbots clashed against the Stunticons once more on Earth, when the Decepticons attempted to use the power of the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] to transform the planet into a new Cybertron. He and his teammates merged into Superion, and they were ultimately victorious. Though the Decepticons attempted to flee with the key, Silverbolt gave chase, and was able to destroy the device, ending its treat to Earth. {{storylink|Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

Silverbolt and his Aerialbot team managed to drive [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]] into a retreat after this twisted creation of [[Doctor Arkeville]] was unleashed on the world. {{storylink|Nemesis Rising}} They had similar success intercepting [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]]'s convoy, which was trying to deliver part of a super weapon to Decepticon HQ. The Aerialbots' attack resulted in the Decepticons destroying their own weapon to keep it out of Autobot hands. {{storylink|Eagle Eyes}} The Aerialbots were trapped by the Decepticons and sent back through time through a [[Chronogon]] portal. Encountering the archivists Orion Pax and Ariel, the team took the injured pair to [[Alpha Trion]] following an attack on the [[Iacon Archives]]. Trion helped the team return to present day, where Silverbolt told [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] about their adventure. {{storylink|Golden Age (Legends)|Golden Age}}

Though Silverbolt projects the image of a brave, grimly determined warrior - as befitting his role as Aerialbot Commander - he's actually afraid of heights, a phobia he masks but has never quite conquered.
The illusion of aerial ease is helped by his sleek, aerodynamic jet form, making him seem a natural-born flyer.
Rather than show any emotional weakness, Silverbolt keeps his eyes firmly on the horizon. Never down.

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the third year of the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' toyline in the US (second in most of Europe and Japan), Silverbolt transforms into a Concorde SST jet liner. He also has a third "launching ramp" mode that serves as a base/platform for smaller toys. He was designed with a spring-loaded launching mechanism in this mode, but the [[Hasbro]] releases of this toy removed the spring entirely, leaving the launcher lever to just kinda slide around pointlessly when the "Blast Shield" chest plate isn't attached. The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] release of the figure features this missing spring-loaded action, however.

: As a "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and 2010)|Scramble City]]"-style toy, he can also form the torso of a super robot, completely interchangeable with the smaller compatible limb-bots in the series. His nominal position is as [[Superion (G1)#Toys|Superion's]] torso; arguably, ''any'' combination of limbs is ''some'' iteration of Superion.

: He was originally designed for the aborted ''[[Diaclone]]'' line ''[[Diaclone#Jizai Gattai|Jizai Gattai]]'' (自在合体 "Limitless Combination"), and then finalized and released in ''Transformers'' when it proved the stronger seller.

: Completely undocumented from the instructions: the "Blast Shield" chest plate piece is ''also'' intended for Silverbolt's robot mode, not just Superion's combined mode, as evidenced by the molded crotch-guard, the designated sticker details that are covered up by Superion's own separate crotch-guard piece in combined mode, and his [[character model]] and [[package art]]. This—combined with the fact that all of the other combiner torso-bots don't use their respective combiner chest plate pieces as parts of their individual robot modes—has led many to believe that Silverbolt's chest/torso is just a flat, detailless ramp. In another undocumented feature, Silverbolt's "Electrostatic Discharger Rifle" can also attach to a peg hole on the underside of the chest plate piece, presumably to create a drone of some kind to function with his ramp mode, much like [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]]'s "[[Roller car]]". As the original four "Scramble City" combiner teams were intended for the ''Diaclone'' toyline, it is entirely possible this was a left over feature from [[prototype]]s based directly on ''Diaclone'' concepts, in a similar vein to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Powered Convoy's/Ultra Magnus's]] chest-plate-and-head vehicle intended for the pilot figures of the ''Diaclone'' toyline.

:A particular weakness of Silverbolt's design is the way both his legs are connected to his hips by a long pin going through several ''very'' small (and weak) plastic hinges that are put under a lot of stress, as the immediate joint underneath this assembly is a swivel used during transformation.

: In Japan, the entire "Airbot" team were later offered (as individual purchases) as mail-order items in US packaging during ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1991 (Return of Convoy)|Return of Convoy]]'' in 1991. Silverbolt cost 2000 yen and three [[Robot Point]]s, and did ''not'' include the spring in the base mode launching mechanism, unlike the original Japanese release (possibly because it may have been part of the production run of the Hasbro ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line, see below).

: Much like the original releases of the toy, the instructions neglect to show the chest plate being used for his individual robot mode. This version also lacks the spring in the launching mechanism.

: Released in the second year of the Hasbro ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' toyline, Silverbolt transforms from an eagle into a robot, with portions of his wings turning into a pair of [[sword]]s. Each wing also contains a spring-loaded missile launcher. He is able to combine with his pack-in companions [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Beast Wars|Ironhide]] and [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Beast Wars|Prowl]], forming part of the torso and helmet to the giant robot [[Magnaboss (BW)#Toys|Magnaboss]].

:Silverbolt most certainly suffers from the dreaded [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]]. Thankfully he is not one of the more common cases and most Silverbolts have survived many years of playwear. Unlike, say, [[Slingshot (G1)#Generation 2|Slingshot]].

: The Magnaboss toy included no information about its three components beyond their names. The toy was established in [[2007]] by [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] to represent the Generation 1 character Silverbolt a decade after its release.

His spring-loaded missile-launching blaster features a B-2 Stealth bomber as a decorative shape. His '''BOLT-25''' markings reference both his name and the twenty-fifth (silver) anniversary of the Transformers brand.

:The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] version of Silverbolt was released in American ''Universe'' packaging as a "[[USA Edition]]" toy. He is redecoed to more closely resemble his appearance in the original ''The Transformers'' cartoon, with most of his grey plastic parts now cast in a bright shade of off-white. The red paint applications on his chest are now a match for his red plastic parts, resulting in a unified look as opposed to the two-tone chest of the ''Universe'' version.

: Available only as a component of ''Universe'' [[Superion (G1)#Universe (2008)|Superion]], this version of Silverbolt is a white and black redeco of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Storm Jet (Energon)#Toys|Storm Jet]], transforming into a futuristic supersonic jet similar to an SR-71 Blackbird or [[Skyquake (G1)#Toys|Skyquake]]. As a toy derived from the ''Energon''-series "[[Powerlinx]] [[Combiner]]"s, he can attach any ''Energon'' combiner limbs to the Powerlinx ports located on his arms and legs, though nominally he combines with his fellow Aerialbots to become Superion.

: Like the Storm Jet version of the sculpt, Silverbolt features several instances of [[misassembly]]: The more obvious one affects his inside legs, which are swapped so that the knee joint faces the wrong way. Although an easy quick swap (involving the unscrewing of exactly eight screws) fixes this, at least a few specimens reportedly had one leg assembled correctly, and the other one incorrectly, making repair impossible.

:Furthermore, his shoulders are also misassembled, since there is a sculpted chevron...in his armpit. A fix for this requires removing metal pins, which is at least easier than on the original Storm Jet version of the sculpt, since Silverbolt's pins have the ridged section on one end, rather than in the center. Nonetheless, the sculpted chevrons are an ''extremely'' minor detail and attempting to remove the pins needed to correctly reposition them may not be worth the risk of damaging/breaking the figure.

:The Superion five-pack, despite being initially intended as a ''Universe'' [[Target]] [[exclusive]], was only released in ''Universe'' packaging in some non-American markets such as Australia and Singapore. Instead, American Target stores (and Zellers stores in Canada) received an unchanged version of the toy in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' packaging, still named [[Superion (ROTF)|Superion]], with all the individual components, including [[Silverbolt (ROTF)|Silverbolt]], retaining their names as well.

: ''[[Kre-O]]'' Silverbolt is a [[Micro-Changer]] [[Kreon]], a small buildable figure that can be re-built into a jet-like configuration. His chest deco omits the original toy's add-on chestplate, womp womp.

: He can also contribute his parts to form the super robot [[Superion (G1)#Kre-O|Superion]]; his torso goes into the super robot torso, and his legs form the robot's right "hand".

: He was only available as part of a "complete" Superion set in the first wave of Micro-Changer Combiner sets, packed in with [[Air Raid (G1)#Kre-O|Air Raid]], [[Fireflight (G1)#Kre-O|Firestrike]] (AKA Fireflight), and [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Kre-O|Skydive]]. ([[Slingshot (G1)#Kre-O|Slingshot]], aka "Quickslinger" in ''Kre-O'', was sold separately as a single-pack Micro-Changer; you can figure out how to add his parts into the mix if you're feeling up to it.)

: All of the Kreons in the set now use the minor [[retool]]ing done to Kreon arms in 2014, making the rounded-off forearm cuffs a sharper cylinder that better serves as a stud to attach pieces to. Deco-wise, ''most'' of the toys were unchanged from their individual releases; Silverbolt remains the same as his prior release.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

: Released in the first wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Voyager Class toys, [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|''Generations'']] Silverbolt transforms from a jet resembling a modified {{w|Concorde}} to a robot resembling his original form. He includes a larger-scale version of the original toy's rifle, which can be held in Silverbolt's or Superion's hands, or mounted to the sides of Silverbolt's forearm or underneath his nosecone in jet mode. The winged rear section of the rifle can be detached and used by Silverbolt as a shield, which can also be separately either held in Silverbolt's hand or mounted to the side of his forearm.

: He can also form the torso to the super robot [[Superion (G1)#Combiner Wars|Superion]], combined with the Deluxe Class [[Alpha Bravo#Toys|Alpha Bravo]] (or [[Slingshot (G1)#Combiner Wars|Quickslinger]]), [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Combiner Wars|Skydive]], [[Fireflight (G1)#Combiner Wars|Firefly]], and [[Air Raid (G1)#Combiner Wars|Air Raid]] as the limbs. Of course, he's also cross-compatible with any Deluxe limb-style bot mold from ''Combiner Wars'' or ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]''. Silverbolt also has an official confifuration as form the torso of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Magnaboss (BW)#Combiner Wars|Magnaboss]]; a sticker sheet was sold at [[BotCon 2016]] to enhance Silverbolt's resemblance to the original ''Beast Wars'' figure.

: Silverbolt includes a collector card featuring art from the "[[Nemesis Rising]]" episode of ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]''.

: Due to the way the head of Superion flips out, as well as the thinness of the plastic making up that joint, it is easy to push the wrong area when folding the head back into the body. This may cause stress lines and fractures if not properly addressed, and in the worst-case scenario Superion's head can simply snap off. On the bright side, it's still possible to secure Superion's head inside Silverbolt's torso, and the combined mode's chest clamps can still hold the head in place for the combined mode.

:Oddly, the hand-painted [[prototype]] on display at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 featured some coloring and detailing differences with the final product that are unique to that one sample. Even the hand painted prototype used for early [[stock photography|stock photos]] is closer to the final figure. Notably, Silverbolt's shoulders (which become Superion's hips) were painted ''red'', with the trapezoid sections in the center painted silver.

:As a part of the first and second wave promotion in Hasbro's Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s and [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]]s was given out when purchasing any four Deluxe Class toys from those waves. As such, Silverbolt was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-generations-combiner-wars-free-g1-sticker-sheet-with-tru-singapore/32469/ Aerialbot and Stunticon sticker promotion on Seibertron.com]</ref>

:This mold was retooled into ''Combiner Wars'' [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Cyclonus]] and [[Scattershot (G1)#Combiner Wars|Scattershot]], and [[BotCon 2016]] [[Sea Clamp#Combiner Wars|General Sea Clamp]]. Despite sharing the same toy designer and transformation scheme, ''Power of the Primes'' [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)#Power of the Primes|Hun-Gurrr]] is ''not'' a retool of ''Combiner Wars'' Silverbolt.

: Takara's ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' Silverbolt is a redeco of his ''Combiner Wars'' toy, with a more cartoon-accurate deco, which includes replacing the orange colors of the Hasbro release with a more golden yellow color. Strangely, this does not include replacing the cream-white color of the ''Combiner Wars'' release with the cartoon's grayish-white color. Due to the abundance of paint used in the deco, the Takara release features much tighter joints, which in some cases can prove inhibitive for articulation.

: He was only available as part of the full [[Superion (G1)#Unite Warriors|Superion]] box set alongside similarly-cartoon-deco'd versions of [[Air Raid (G1)#Unite Warriors|Air Rider]], [[Fireflight (G1)#Unite Warriors|Firebolt]], [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Unite Warriors|Skydive]], and [[Slingshot (G1)#Unite Warriors|Sling]], the first set released in the line. The set was reissued without changes four years later.

:As with the Hasbro releases, this Silverbolt does not use the retooled and improved joint for the Combiner head. Unfortunately, the 2019 re-release did not fix this issue.

: Revealed at [[Cybertron Con 2024]], [[Transformers: Age of the Primes|''Age of the Primes'']] Silverbolt is a roughly Voyager-sized robot who turns into an unlicensed approximation of a Concorde in 44 steps. In his jet mode, his nosecone has the ability to be angled downwards to better resemble real-world plane and homage his transformation sequence in the original cartoon. The cockpit can also seat a [[Titan Master]], though sadly it cannot be closed with one inside. He features deployable landing gear, with the rear landing gear being built-in to his hip armor.

:Along with his own weapon, Silverbolt includes a collection of parts that can be assembled into a base mode or a booster for the jet mode. More importantly, however, it serves as a frame to build Superion. When he is in robot mode, he can use the parts as a shielded turret. Much like ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' [[Motormaster (G1)#Legacy|Motormaster]] before him, Silverbolt himself only forms the core chunk of the chest, with the additional frame pieces creating a skeletal Superion capable of standing on his own, as advertised on his packaging. The four concurrently-released Deluxe Aerialbots can be attached to fill out the combiner. Unlike the ''Legacy'' [[Stunticon (G1)#Age of the Primes|Stunticons]], the Deluxe figures that form Superion's arms are capable of being attached to the left or right arm. <ref>[https://weibo.com/1918541453/P3Y0fgLlk Product photography] displaying Slingshot attached to Superion's right arm at the official [[Hasbro China]] Weibo acccount</ref> The leg bots, however, do not have the same split-in-half functionality as Slingshot and Fireflight, meaning they can’t properly Scramble City. Silverbolt, Motormaster, and Onslaught’s frame pieces are swappable, though the bots that attach to them are incompatible with the other combiner’s parts. Interestingly, Silverbolt’s arm frame pieces ''are'' compatible with the concurrently-released [[Vortex (G1)#Age of the Primes|Vortex]]. Superion’s chest frame can also be used to build a combiner around ''Age of the Primes'' [[Nexus Prime]], who replaces Silverbolt as the chest core and head. Nexus attaches backwards, showing his own parts as a chestplate while Superion’s own forms the back.

:When transforming Silverbolt to his robot mode, care must be taken with Superion’s horns; when Silverbolt’s chest folds into place, Superion’s head must be positioned very precisely so the horns can slit into their dedicated recesses on the inside of the chestplate. Thankfully, the horns are made out of a softer plastic so they likely won’t snap, but be careful anyway to avoid bending. They also detach easily, on pegs that are slightly larger than 3 mm.

:Silverbolt is capable of storing his gun on his back in robot mode via a rectangular tab. Undocumented in the instructions, Superion's rifle ''also'' can via the (otherwise unused) grey tabs on the side, though it's not as elegantly hidden as Silverbolt's blaster is from the front.

:The sides of Silverbolt's abdomen are not painted the same cartoon-accurate color as his thighs because they are made of [[unpaintable plastic]].

:Notably, Silverbolt is unusually light on 5mm ports for a post-''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' figure, even lacking them under his feet.

==Notes==
[[File:G1silverboltchestonoff.jpg|thumb|Sometimes Silverbolt just wants to naked it up.]]
[[File:SilverboltPrimeVisualworks.jpg|thumb|This is the most hardcore Silverbolt has ever been.]]

* Silverbolt's [[character model]] and [[package art]] is based on the toy with what is often misunderstood to be Superion's chest plate attached. Unlike most of the other Generation 1 combiners, the chest plate piece was ''also'' intended to be a part of Silverbolt's [[robot mode]] and actually features a molded crotch-guard on it, complete with designated sticker details—all of which get covered up with a completely separate crotch-guard piece for Superion. Despite this, the toy's instructions and the back-of-the-box art presents Silverbolt with his flat, detailless ramp torso. Silverbolt's [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] profile art also depicts him without the chest plate, despite the comics themselves featuring it, likely due to the artist being under the mistaken impression that the chest plate wasn't intended for him.
* Due to the size of his original toy's alternate mode, in that form he should be one of the biggest Transformers around (approximately 164 feet, 5 inches tall!). This means he's one of the most [[Scale|out-of-scale]] Generation 1 characters, both as a toy and in all of his depictions in fiction.
*''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]'' depicts Silverbolt with the eagle head for his robot mode head.
* A proposed [[Fun Publications]] [[BotCon]] [[exclusive]] idea was a redeco of [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' Silverbolt]] into [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]]/[[Scrash (G1)|Scrash]] and [[King Atlas]].<ref>[http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc14/bc14br.html BotCon 2014 attendee report]</ref>

{{factions|nexusprime|autobot|sgDecepticon}}

{{disambig3|Nexus}}
[[Image:NexusPrimeflankedbyotherPrimes.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Insert batteries where?!]]
One of the [[Thirteen|original Thirteen Primes]], the wild and unpredictable '''Nexus Prime''' is the first [[combiner]]. He is the bearer of the immensely consequential [[Artifacts of the Primes|artifact]] known as the [[Enigma of Combination]] and the lord of [[Rarified Energon]]—the stuff of [[spark]]s themselves—granting him a variety of mysterious powers above and beyond many of his siblings. Nexus' go-to problem solving method of scattering himself to the four winds has often proved the cause of, and solution to, all of his and his resultant sub-selves' problems. He also has a habit of hoarding the legendary blades forged by his sister [[Solus Prime]] whether they belong to him or not, considering himself the safest pair(s) of hands. How much these antics relate to his reputation as the prankster of the Thirteen is up for interpretation. His fragments include:

*[[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]] (A-10 Thunderbolt II, left leg)— a deep space explorer with the ability to project [[Force field|forcefields]]
*[[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]] (anti-aircraft tank, right arm)— a disaffected soldier with the power to forge [[Energon weapon|energon weapons]] unaided
*[[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]] (fighter jet, left arm)— a mystical guardian with preternatural healing abilities
*[[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]] (helicopter, right leg)— a credulous refugee with the power to manipulate sparks
*[[Heatwave (Timelines)|Heatwave]] (armored personnel carrier, torso)— a cheerful technician with ability to "speak" machinery to life

Unlike many of his descendants, Nexus Prime is highly mutable and not beholden to a single set of components. In [[Aligned continuity family|a different universe]], Nexus instead split himself into:

*[[Clocker (Prime)|Clocker]]— a [[Velocitron]]ian racer
*[[Mainspring]]— a Velocitronian mechanic
*[[Chaindrive]]— an Autobot soldier
*[[Pinion]]— a [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]] trader
*[[Cannonspring]]— a lost Cybertronian

Oh yeah, and he is responsible for [[Shroud|splintering]] himself and [[Multiversal singularity|his brethren]] across the [[Multiverse|multiverse]]. That was a pretty significant thing that happened.

He is sometimes, unfortunately, known as '''[[#Naming issues|Nexus Maximus]]'''.

==Fiction==
===Fun Publications===
When the Thirteen visited ancient Earth of some universal streams, Nexus Prime used a [[holomatter]] avatar which inspired the myth of the goddess Hera, trusted confidant of Zeus, who was [[Prima]]'s holomatter avatar. [[Vector Prime]] shared many fond memories with his siblings, including Nexus, and noted that there were universal streams where Nexus was known as Nexus [[Convoy (rank)|Convoy]].

Nexus Prime, Vector Prime, [[Alpha Trion]], and [[Solus Prime]] made the decision to split Nexus Prime into five pieces to conceal the location of the five fragments of Prima's [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|Star Saber]] sword, a weapon that could destroy star systems, from their evil brother [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]. Using the blade of the Star Saber, Nexus Prime was cut into five other robots: [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]], [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]], [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]], and [[Heatwave (Timelines)|Heatwave]], who were subsequently scattered across the [[multiverse]] and lost to the ages. {{Storylink|Ask Vector Prime}}

But the skills of Nexus Prime are needed once again, and now that his components have been called together by Primus, he searches the multiverse for the components to the Star Saber sword, armed with his masterful control over all uses of [[energon]], and ability to manipulate [[spark]]s.

[[Image:Clubcombinercarving.jpg|200px|thumb|They drew his limbs arranged incorrectly!]]
The [[Caretaker]] told its components that Nexus Prime was "designated a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]", like the other original thirteen. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 6}}

When Landquake, Breakaway, Topspin, and Heatwave made an attempt to use their powers to revive the recently assassinated [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], they were transported—along with a revived Skyfall—to the presence of [[Primus]] in the "afterlife". He gave them a choice of living (or staying dead) as they were, or being reborn as what they were meant to be. After the gestalt members made their deliberations, Primus declared, "The choice is made. Arise, Nexus Prime," as they started the transformation. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 5}}

[[Image:OmegaDoomNexusPrimeGalvatron.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Behold the fingers my toy totally doesn't have!]]

Nexus Prime [[Reformatting|reformatted]] the dead Megatron into the powerful Galvatron, investing in him some of the power of the Thirteen. The two exited the Decepticon stronghold to counter [[Omega Doom]]'s offensive, but they were forced to split up when Doom launched a starkilling missile into Cybertron's sun. Though his Decepticon components protested leaving the battle, Nexus Prime knew saving this Cybertron's star system was of more immediate importance. Regardless, he was too late in stopping the missile, and its energies began to destroy the sun. Nexus began to concentrate.

Nexus returned to Cybertron triumphant, having used his own powers to negate those of the starkilling missile, and he made short work of Omega Doom, saving Galvatron in the nick of time. Though there was more on this Cybertron to do, such as finishing [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]] once and for all, Nexus Prime knew he had to depart this universe. After saying goodbye to [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]], he entered a portal with [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]], trusting fate to bring him to the correct destination. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 6}}

Nexus Prime and Aquarius traveled from world to world, but without finding what Nexus Prime was looking for. Eventually, the pair arrived on [[Primax 509.28 Epsilon|one universe]]'s [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where they were attacked by a group of smaller Decepticons who thought they had an easy mark. Though Nexus Prime was unwilling to use his more supernatural powers, lest he draw unwanted attention towards himself, he was still able to easily beat their attackers. As they left the group of dazed Decepticons behind, Nexus Prime and Aquarius wandered through a Cybertronian marketplace. Finally, Nexus Prime began to drop hints about what [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|mysterious artifact]] he was looking for; he hadn't yet clued Aquarius in. Ultimately, Nexus Prime spotted a shipping container with an [[Elite Guard]] symbol on it. This unlocked a memory in the ancient Transformer, allowing him to determine their next destination. He and Aquarius vanished through another portal to yet another dimension. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

After several unspecified adventures, Aquarius ended up in Axiom Nexus and took charge of a shard of the Star Saber from a [[Chifumi Takahashi|courier]]. In exchange, he promised to help her get home. {{storylink|Transformers I.Q.#issue 48|Transformers I.Q. last issue review}} To their surprise, however, they ended up on the Cybertron of Aquarius's home reality. It soon became obvious that Nexus had transported them there in order to receive the [[Origin Matrix]], the fifth and final piece, from [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Mammoth]]. {{storylink|Transformers I.Q.#issue 54|Transformers I.Q. trivia bonus #12}} {{storylink|Falling into Place}}

[[File:AnotherLight-choppitychop.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|"...''Transformers: Prime'' will never make a dozen episodes about finding you."]]

While waiting for Nexus Prime's arrival, Ultra Mammoth confronted his negative counterpart [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]], who was wielding the [[Terminus Blade]] on Earth. After the Origin Matrix inadvertently supercharged the Blade, Nexus Prime's components arrived in time to combine the Matrix with the other elements to reform the Star Saber. Prima's great sword severed the evil Magnus's arm, and Nexus Prime banished the insane Autobot to a dimension suitable for his temperament. With the Star Saber and Terminus Blade in hand, Nexus Prime set about undoing what damage he could from Magnus's abuse of the weapon. {{storylink|Restoration}}

In multidimensional space, Nexus Prime found he could not undo the destruction of universes already caused by the Terminus Blade. Aware that his actions would not be without consequences to himself, Nexus Prime brought the Saber and Blade together. He strengthened the existing walls between dimensions to prevent further inter-universe decay. He bolstered dying universes that had not yet succumbed to Ultra Magnus, hoping they might still survive. In the process, however, the strengthened walls could no longer support the fluidity of multiversal singularities. Nexus Prime felt himself and his fellow Thirteen splintering, existing as independent beings in each reality they manifested in, instead of thirteen singularities. {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}} In [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon|one universe]], Nexus Prime's individual components reconstituted themselves as a group of low-ranking Decepticons known as Heatwave, [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skytop]], [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landfall]], [[Breakaway (Classics)|Quakebreak]], and [[Topspin (Classics)|Spinaway]]. Although they retained their ability to combine, this "new" Nexus Prime was significantly less coordinated than his predecessor, and his components didn't believe the stories that they had once been some kind of multiversal guardian. {{storylink|Coalescence}}

===Aligned continuity family===
====''The Covenant of Primus''====
[[Image:5NexusPrime.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Nexus Prime was the seventh member of the Thirteen created by Primus with the purpose of fighting against and defeating Unicron. As the first and greatest combiner, he could separate himself into multiple independent components and combine them at will. Nexus, like his siblings who were created between [[Prima]] and [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], was balanced between the personalities of Primus and Unicron.

Nexus was part of the '''Free Agents''', which included [[Maccadam|Alchemist Prime]], [[Solus Prime]], and the [[Thirteenth Prime]]: capable of both direct battle and subtle attacks. As the Primes trained with each other, Solus created the [[Cyber Caliber]] for him, which could split into smaller swords. Nexus would follow Solus into the portal leading to Unicron, entering Unicron's body to harm him from within. All of Nexus' components struggled with the overpowering corruption of Unicron's Dark Energon, but the words of ''Thirteen'', "All Are One", would help him keep fighting. Eventually, Unicron was defeated and Nexus returned to Cybertron with his siblings.

As the [[Age of Primes]] began, Nexus devoted his time to his creative interests, having no interest in the politics of Prima's group. During the [[War of the Primes]], when the Primes came together to vote on whether [[Liege Maximo]]'s [[Farm]] should be shut down or not, Nexus voted with Prima to shut it down. Sometime later, Nexus would join Prima, [[Vector Prime]], [[Alpha Trion]], [[Micronus Prime]], and ''Thirteen'' in finding Megatronus after the death of Solus Prime. Nexus would take his Cyber Caliber when all the Primes visited the Farm, which led to infighting among the Primes.

Nexus Prime would survive the War of the Primes, but the memory of his existence would fade away into myth and legend. Several stellar cycles later, the five components of Nexus Prime -- [[Cannonspring]], [[Mainspring]], [[Pinion]], [[Clocker (Prime)|Clocker]], and [[Chaindrive]] -- would briefly reunite as Nexus Prime, giving [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] his sword. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

====Aligned novels====
Known as the "Wizard of Forms", Nexus Prime was all about change and mutability. When standing alone, his body seemed to shift or be overlaid with ever-changing forms and combinations he might take. Powerful, proud, and frequently unpredictable even to those who knew him best, Nexus Prime was full of good humor and a bit of a prankster at times. He was the "mad experimenter" of the Thirteen and is fascinated by changing states of matter and the creation of new elements in solar forges. This shared affinity for creation led [[Solus Prime]], the "Maker" of the Thirteen, to have special feelings for Nexus, which in turn seemed to have earned him the enmity of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] and [[Liege Maximo]].

Nexus Prime was last seen by Alpha Trion before the [[Age of Wrath]], taking custody of many of Solus Prime's creations, including the Cyber Caliber, the [[Chaos Edge]], the [[Blades of Time]], and the [[Omni Saber]].
The Omni Saber was a part of Nexus Prime's body, and he secreted the Cyber Caliber away inside his form as well before splitting himself into five component robots: Clocker, Mainspring, Chaindrive, Pinion, and Cannonspring.
Each component held a fraction of the Cyber Caliber within themselves and was also charged with guarding one of the Blades of Time. Only by assembling the Blades of Time and using them to open a gateway to the hollow [[Realm of the Primes|realm]] of Vector Prime could the Cyber Caliber be reassembled. The [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|Star Saber]] was believed to have been taken by Nexus Prime but was not in his possession during the [[Great Exodus]].

The sub-selves of Nexus Prime scattered throughout the colony worlds of Cybertron. They remained apart for so long that each forgot their true nature, and no longer recalled being part of Nexus Prime or the Thirteen. All but Cannonspring even forgot their duty to safeguard the Blades of Time and the Cyber Caliber. Clocker and Mainspring wound up on [[Velocitron]], where they remained slightly out of place as mechanics instead of the speed-driven racers who ruled the planet. Pinion ended up on [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]], assimilating well into the culture (perhaps because the Junkion way of constantly reusing materials appealed to the subconscious preference of Nexus Prime for change). Chaindrive found himself on Cybertron, and eventually became part of the Autobot resistance movement alongside [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] and Alpha Trion after the Ark's departure. Cannonspring ended up in a crippled ship in Cybertron's deep orbit, until the prospector [[Axer (Prime)|Axer]] triggered some latent transwarp energy on board, transporting them both to Junkion. Cannonspring remained inert for over a million years inside his ship after it crashed.

Nexus Prime began to come together once more thanks to the Matrix, which directed Optimus Prime through space to the various colony worlds. As the Ark came to Velocitron, Optimus discovered two pieces of the Blades of Time and fatefully agreed to bring Clocker and Mainspring on the next leg of his journey when they asked. On Junkion, Prime encountered Pinion while recovering a third Blade, and the fourth was retrieved from Axer. Meanwhile, back on Cybertron, Alpha Trion and [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] concocted a method of sending a scout after Optimus Prime by keying residual Space Bridge energy to the signature of the Matrix. Instinctively, Alpha Trion decided Chaindrive was the proper choice, and he brought with him the fifth Blade. Once all five Blades and the other four components assembled on Junkion, the combined energy was enough to rekindle the inert Cannonspring, bringing him back to full functioning and allowing them to reassemble into Nexus Prime.

Displaying the ability to hold more weapons than an armory, Nexus Prime pulled forth both his Omni Saber and the Chaos Edge, and also passed the Cyber Caliber over to Optimus Prime. Although he refused to kill anyone, Nexus Prime essentially held off the Decepticons and the [[Star Seeker]]s for a time, on intimidation alone. As [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] and [[Thundertron]] left to pursue other goals, Nexus Prime reclaimed his swords and gave some last words of encouragement to Optimus Prime before splitting himself once more. Reduced to a new set of five protoforms, Nexus Prime vanished into space and the annals of history once more. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

In the primitive age that followed the departure of the [[Knights of Cybertron]], Nexus Prime joined his [[Thirteen Tribes|tribe]] with those of [[Solus Prime|Solus]], [[Vector Prime|Vector]], [[Maccadam|Alchemist Prime]] and [[Alpha Trion]] in [[Crystal City]]. Like the other four, he knew [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]] but he himself was disgusted by Onyx's bestial horde and took time to become acclimated to them. He had a brother in the east who ruled his own kingdom. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} Nexus was the first recorded owner of the mysterious artifact known as the [[Enigma of Combination]]. He evidently chose to keep the artifact's true nature as a physical object a secret, with most believing the "Enigma" part of the name referred to a puzzle that had to be solved to allow for [[Combiner|combination]]. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

One evening, Vector Prime barged in on a meeting to announce the approach of Onyx and [[Liege Maximo|a crony]], as well as the news that [[Septimus Prime]] had perished and that [[The Fallen|the conqueror]] of [[Protihex|his lands]] was on the warpath across Cybertron. Despite Solus and Onyx's dismissal, Nexus felt Septimus had still been a Prime such as they were before he asked who Onyx's minion was, the newcomer introducing himself as Liege Maximo, who had also lost his lands to the army of [[Darklands|Darklanders]]. At Alpha Trion's urging, the Primes allowed Onyx and Liege Maximo into their alliance. When the time of battle came, Nexus wished to join his followers in combat but remained behind at Solus's urging. After the [[Titan (group)|Titans]] arrived, Onyx leapt into the fray only to recognize the enemy commander as his old friend Megatronus. Nexus was shocked at this development, before the eight Primes joined forces. In the aftermath, [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] expressed the belief that the alliance would attract Nexus's brother to him. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} Unbeknownst to the Primes, the 'bot they believed to be Onyx Prime was in fact a time-travelling Shockwave from ten million years in the future who had engineered the entire conflict to bring the Primes together as history recorded. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

[[File:RID34 enigma of combination.jpg|thumb|left|250px|My Enigma don't go to none if they're lowborn, hun.]]

Power turned Nexus into something of a git really, believing that all non-Primes should serve their Prime masters. {{storylink|The Crucible}} Among the members of his court was a [[Titan Master]] by the name of [[Infinitus]], who wholeheartedly believed in his master's elitist approach to social engineering. {{storylink|White Heat}} The Thirteen Primes ruled their planet peacefully until Liege Maximo and Megatronus conspired together, goaded on by Shockwave's machinations, and started the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]] via the murder of Solus Prime. While Megatronus fled Cybertron, Nexus and [[Quintus Prime|Quintus]] managed to restrain Maximo, before trying and exiling him aboard [[Vigilem]]. {{storylink|Heavy}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

Nexus allied himself with "Onyx Prime" during the war and used his [[Enigma of Combination]] to create the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]: humanoid Transformers combined with beasts. {{storylink|The Crucible}} [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] found the whole concept disgusting and single-handedly slaughtered the Headmasters before coming after Nexus himself. Nexus sneered that Galvatron was a "lowborn" that couldn't kill him, and Galvatron responded by doing just that. The realization that a Prime could be killed by someone other than another Prime caused most of the remaining Primes to flee the planet. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

He was survived by Infinitus, who vowed to keep his master's teachings alive and eventually apply them to all of Cybertron–especially the parts about forced servitude to the Primes. {{storylink|White Heat}} Nexus's [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Devisiun (Titan)|Devisiun]], also survived the war and colonized [[Devisiun (planet)|a planet]] in honor of his master which the younger Shockwave eventually seeded with [[Ore-5]]. {{storylink|Ceremony|The Lost Colonies of Cybertron}}

:Nexus Maximus is composed of his five team members, with Heatwave forming his central body component. His limbs' [[energon weapon]]s form his hands and feet. Conisisting of [[redeco]]s of components of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' combiners, Nexus Maximus, just like [[Superion Maximus]], [[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus Maximus]], and [[Constructicon Maximus]], features universal connection points for the limbs, allowing many different combinations and even swapping of limbs from different teams, in a fashion very similar to ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'''s "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and Transformers 2010)|Scramble City]]"-type combiner teams. Unlike the other Maximus-style combiners, Nexus Maximus features four unique molds for his limb pieces, rather than two redecoed to fit both the legs and arms, due to him using both [[Destruction Team]] and [[Air Team]] molds. Whereas the individual components' robot modes still feature the same head sculpts as the ''Energon'' figures they're redecoed from, the combined form of Nexus Maximus himself was given an entirely new, unique head sculpt, which is an amalgamation of visual elements of its components' own heads: Skyfall's eyes, Landquake's chin, Breakaway's forehead, Topspin's "mohawk", and Heatwave's "ears".

:Nexus Maximus is the combined form of the first five [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] freebie toys, which were released over the span of five years in different toyline brandings for the components.

==Notes==
[[File:NexusPrimeHead.jpg|thumb|upright=1.75|]]
*Nexus Prime's backstory bears a noticeable similarity to that of {{w|Voltron}}.
*Nexus Prime's TFCC magazine profile mentions that he "no longer has an [[alternate mode]]", due to being split apart for so long and then reassembled.
*Like other members of the Thirteen, Nexus was originally established as a [[multiversal singularity]] who existed as one being across all space and time, but that is [[Shroud|no longer the case]].
*As depicted in the Covenant of Primus, all five of his known components are visible on the right side of the body: a tank (Landfall) and jet (Breakaway) making up one arm, and a helicopter (Topspin) and jet (Skyquake) making up one leg. Hasbro designer [[Aaron Archer]]'s intent was that, as the ultimate combiner, Nexus Prime was not limited to just five components, but could instead combine with any number of robots.<ref name=reinterpretation>{{citesocial
|quote=I would suggest that instead of calling it a misrepresentation, call it a reinterpretation. The Cov. version of Nexus Prime as represented in the book, not only has a rearranged parts, all known (5) parts are represented on the viewable side, he is made up of at least ten parts, half hidden in shadow (other than elements of a carrier type jet) as they were not full named or fully realized characters - it was Aaron Archer's direction that he not be only confined to 5 members, but his core made him combine-able with anyone, as he is a god character. Along with the face detail being moved around, I also did several sketches with him as ever more laden with combiner parts, walking hunched over ala RotF Devastator, or more wide stanced with 4 arms. |link=https://roseknightmare.tistory.com/2760 |name=Ken Christiansen |site=blog post |title=Nexus Prime’s Face Design: Reinterpretation, Not an Error |year=2025 |month=11 |day=26}}</ref>

*Nexus Prime's head design varies greatly across his depictions. The design—an amalgamation of traits from his components' heads—is meant to evoke a superhero cowl (similiar to [[Batman]]), with his head covered in armor but his mouth exposed. However, the deco used for his mouth is almost completely black, making it difficult to see. ''The Covenant of Primus'' reinterpreted his mouth area as a visor, his chin as a [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]]-esque [[mouthplate]], and his actual eyes as forehead detail. It also tweaked the sides of his head into antenna and circular details resembling those of Optimus Prime. Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] has stated that these changes were deliberate reinterpretation.<ref name=reinterpretation /> Most subsequent incarnations have followed the Covenant interpretation; as a result of this game of telephone, his big screen debut in ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' bears almost no resemblance to his original design (save for the upper-torso, which is nearly 1:1).
*[[Volcanicus (Cyberverse)|''Cyberverse'' Volcanicus]]'s head is based on the Covenant's Nexus Prime design, albeit with a mouth and chin-guard resembling Nexus's original design.

===Naming issues===
[[Fun Publications]] originally submitted the possible names '''Prime Nexus''' and '''Maximus Prime''' to [[Hasbro]] for the character (reflecting the fact that the character is a Prime in-fiction), Hasbro rejected these, apparently because they were feeling protective towards the use of the name Prime (despite previously having approved the fiction that named him a Prime, written by their own [[Forest Lee]]). Hasbro suggested merging the non-Prime segments of the two names instead... oops.

Apparently neither Hasbro nor Fun Publications did their research when naming Nexus Maximus, because there is another product which shares that name and was, as of [[May 24]], [[2009]], the top Google result (websites relating to this character have since surpassed it). While it is definitely a "toy", it is most assuredly not intended for ages 5 and up. According to the Fun Publications Club panel at [[BotCon 2009]], Hasbro did a search for the name with "safe search" on, causing them to not see... well, [http://www.edenfantasys.com/dildos/double-ended-dildos/nexus-maximus this]. '''NOTE: DEFINITELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK.'''

When he finally appeared in fiction, his name was, in fact, given as Nexus Prime, which makes much better sense story-wise but deprives us of many cheap and easy joke opportunities. [[Pete Sinclair]] posted an image on the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] forums of [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]] blaming the "Nexus Maximus" name on a bad translation by [[Beta Maxx (RID)|Beta Maxx]].<ref>[https://tilallaremine.wordpress.com/2011/05/31/nexus-prime/ Definitely, definitely, *not* Nexus Maximus. Timelines Nexus Prime!] from 'Til All Are Mine blog.</ref>

(The debate is still on as to whether Nexus Maximus constitutes a choking hazard.)

Liliesrobots: /* Toys */ Nexus stub! Mark has shown him off, so he’s officially revealed.

[[Image:NexusPrimeflankedbyotherPrimes.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Insert batteries where?!]]
One of the [[Thirteen|original Thirteen Primes]], the wild and unpredictable '''Nexus Prime''' is the first [[combiner]]. He is the bearer of the immensely consequential [[Artifacts of the Primes|artifact]] known as the [[Enigma of Combination]] and the lord of [[Rarified Energon]]—the stuff of [[spark]]s themselves—granting him a variety of mysterious powers above and beyond many of his siblings. Nexus' go-to problem solving method of scattering himself to the four winds has often proved the cause of, and solution to, all of his and his resultant sub-selves' problems. He also has a habit of hoarding the legendary blades forged by his sister [[Solus Prime]] whether they belong to him or not, considering himself the safest pair(s) of hands. How much these antics relate to his reputation as the prankster of the Thirteen is up for interpretation. His fragments include:

*[[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]] (A-10 Thunderbolt II, left leg)— a deep space explorer with the ability to project [[Force field|forcefields]]
*[[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]] (anti-aircraft tank, right arm)— a disaffected soldier with the power to forge [[Energon weapon|energon weapons]] unaided
*[[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]] (fighter jet, left arm)— a mystical guardian with preternatural healing abilities
*[[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]] (helicopter, right leg)— a credulous refugee with the power to manipulate sparks
*[[Heatwave (Timelines)|Heatwave]] (armored personnel carrier, torso)— a cheerful technician with ability to "speak" machinery to life

Unlike many of his descendants, Nexus Prime is highly mutable and not beholden to a single set of components. In [[Aligned continuity family|a different universe]], Nexus instead split himself into:

*[[Clocker (Prime)|Clocker]]— a [[Velocitron]]ian racer
*[[Mainspring]]— a Velocitronian mechanic
*[[Chaindrive]]— an Autobot soldier
*[[Pinion]]— a [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]] trader
*[[Cannonspring]]— a lost Cybertronian

Oh yeah, and he is responsible for [[Shroud|splintering]] himself and [[Multiversal singularity|his brethren]] across the [[Multiverse|multiverse]]. That was a pretty significant thing that happened.

He is sometimes, unfortunately, known as '''[[#Naming issues|Nexus Maximus]]'''.

==Fiction==
===Fun Publications===
When the Thirteen visited ancient Earth of some universal streams, Nexus Prime used a [[holomatter]] avatar which inspired the myth of the goddess Hera, trusted confidant of Zeus, who was [[Prima]]'s holomatter avatar. [[Vector Prime]] shared many fond memories with his siblings, including Nexus, and noted that there were universal streams where Nexus was known as Nexus [[Convoy (rank)|Convoy]].

Nexus Prime, Vector Prime, [[Alpha Trion]], and [[Solus Prime]] made the decision to split Nexus Prime into five pieces to conceal the location of the five fragments of Prima's [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|Star Saber]] sword, a weapon that could destroy star systems, from their evil brother [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]. Using the blade of the Star Saber, Nexus Prime was cut into five other robots: [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]], [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]], [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]], and [[Heatwave (Timelines)|Heatwave]], who were subsequently scattered across the [[multiverse]] and lost to the ages. {{Storylink|Ask Vector Prime}}

But the skills of Nexus Prime are needed once again, and now that his components have been called together by Primus, he searches the multiverse for the components to the Star Saber sword, armed with his masterful control over all uses of [[energon]], and ability to manipulate [[spark]]s.

[[Image:Clubcombinercarving.jpg|200px|thumb|They drew his limbs arranged incorrectly!]]
The [[Caretaker]] told its components that Nexus Prime was "designated a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]", like the other original thirteen. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 6}}

When Landquake, Breakaway, Topspin, and Heatwave made an attempt to use their powers to revive the recently assassinated [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], they were transported—along with a revived Skyfall—to the presence of [[Primus]] in the "afterlife". He gave them a choice of living (or staying dead) as they were, or being reborn as what they were meant to be. After the gestalt members made their deliberations, Primus declared, "The choice is made. Arise, Nexus Prime," as they started the transformation. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 5}}

[[Image:OmegaDoomNexusPrimeGalvatron.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Behold the fingers my toy totally doesn't have!]]

Nexus Prime [[Reformatting|reformatted]] the dead Megatron into the powerful Galvatron, investing in him some of the power of the Thirteen. The two exited the Decepticon stronghold to counter [[Omega Doom]]'s offensive, but they were forced to split up when Doom launched a starkilling missile into Cybertron's sun. Though his Decepticon components protested leaving the battle, Nexus Prime knew saving this Cybertron's star system was of more immediate importance. Regardless, he was too late in stopping the missile, and its energies began to destroy the sun. Nexus began to concentrate.

Nexus returned to Cybertron triumphant, having used his own powers to negate those of the starkilling missile, and he made short work of Omega Doom, saving Galvatron in the nick of time. Though there was more on this Cybertron to do, such as finishing [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]] once and for all, Nexus Prime knew he had to depart this universe. After saying goodbye to [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]], he entered a portal with [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]], trusting fate to bring him to the correct destination. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 6}}

Nexus Prime and Aquarius traveled from world to world, but without finding what Nexus Prime was looking for. Eventually, the pair arrived on [[Primax 509.28 Epsilon|one universe]]'s [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where they were attacked by a group of smaller Decepticons who thought they had an easy mark. Though Nexus Prime was unwilling to use his more supernatural powers, lest he draw unwanted attention towards himself, he was still able to easily beat their attackers. As they left the group of dazed Decepticons behind, Nexus Prime and Aquarius wandered through a Cybertronian marketplace. Finally, Nexus Prime began to drop hints about what [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|mysterious artifact]] he was looking for; he hadn't yet clued Aquarius in. Ultimately, Nexus Prime spotted a shipping container with an [[Elite Guard]] symbol on it. This unlocked a memory in the ancient Transformer, allowing him to determine their next destination. He and Aquarius vanished through another portal to yet another dimension. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

After several unspecified adventures, Aquarius ended up in Axiom Nexus and took charge of a shard of the Star Saber from a [[Chifumi Takahashi|courier]]. In exchange, he promised to help her get home. {{storylink|Transformers I.Q.#issue 48|Transformers I.Q. last issue review}} To their surprise, however, they ended up on the Cybertron of Aquarius's home reality. It soon became obvious that Nexus had transported them there in order to receive the [[Origin Matrix]], the fifth and final piece, from [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Mammoth]]. {{storylink|Transformers I.Q.#issue 54|Transformers I.Q. trivia bonus #12}} {{storylink|Falling into Place}}

[[File:AnotherLight-choppitychop.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|"...''Transformers: Prime'' will never make a dozen episodes about finding you."]]

While waiting for Nexus Prime's arrival, Ultra Mammoth confronted his negative counterpart [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]], who was wielding the [[Terminus Blade]] on Earth. After the Origin Matrix inadvertently supercharged the Blade, Nexus Prime's components arrived in time to combine the Matrix with the other elements to reform the Star Saber. Prima's great sword severed the evil Magnus's arm, and Nexus Prime banished the insane Autobot to a dimension suitable for his temperament. With the Star Saber and Terminus Blade in hand, Nexus Prime set about undoing what damage he could from Magnus's abuse of the weapon. {{storylink|Restoration}}

In multidimensional space, Nexus Prime found he could not undo the destruction of universes already caused by the Terminus Blade. Aware that his actions would not be without consequences to himself, Nexus Prime brought the Saber and Blade together. He strengthened the existing walls between dimensions to prevent further inter-universe decay. He bolstered dying universes that had not yet succumbed to Ultra Magnus, hoping they might still survive. In the process, however, the strengthened walls could no longer support the fluidity of multiversal singularities. Nexus Prime felt himself and his fellow Thirteen splintering, existing as independent beings in each reality they manifested in, instead of thirteen singularities. {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}} In [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon|one universe]], Nexus Prime's individual components reconstituted themselves as a group of low-ranking Decepticons known as Heatwave, [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skytop]], [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landfall]], [[Breakaway (Classics)|Quakebreak]], and [[Topspin (Classics)|Spinaway]]. Although they retained their ability to combine, this "new" Nexus Prime was significantly less coordinated than his predecessor, and his components didn't believe the stories that they had once been some kind of multiversal guardian. {{storylink|Coalescence}}

===Aligned continuity family===
====''The Covenant of Primus''====
[[Image:5NexusPrime.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Nexus Prime was the seventh member of the Thirteen created by Primus with the purpose of fighting against and defeating Unicron. As the first and greatest combiner, he could separate himself into multiple independent components and combine them at will. Nexus, like his siblings who were created between [[Prima]] and [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], was balanced between the personalities of Primus and Unicron.

Nexus was part of the '''Free Agents''', which included [[Maccadam|Alchemist Prime]], [[Solus Prime]], and the [[Thirteenth Prime]]: capable of both direct battle and subtle attacks. As the Primes trained with each other, Solus created the [[Cyber Caliber]] for him, which could split into smaller swords. Nexus would follow Solus into the portal leading to Unicron, entering Unicron's body to harm him from within. All of Nexus' components struggled with the overpowering corruption of Unicron's Dark Energon, but the words of ''Thirteen'', "All Are One", would help him keep fighting. Eventually, Unicron was defeated and Nexus returned to Cybertron with his siblings.

As the [[Age of Primes]] began, Nexus devoted his time to his creative interests, having no interest in the politics of Prima's group. During the [[War of the Primes]], when the Primes came together to vote on whether [[Liege Maximo]]'s [[Farm]] should be shut down or not, Nexus voted with Prima to shut it down. Sometime later, Nexus would join Prima, [[Vector Prime]], [[Alpha Trion]], [[Micronus Prime]], and ''Thirteen'' in finding Megatronus after the death of Solus Prime. Nexus would take his Cyber Caliber when all the Primes visited the Farm, which led to infighting among the Primes.

Nexus Prime would survive the War of the Primes, but the memory of his existence would fade away into myth and legend. Several stellar cycles later, the five components of Nexus Prime -- [[Cannonspring]], [[Mainspring]], [[Pinion]], [[Clocker (Prime)|Clocker]], and [[Chaindrive]] -- would briefly reunite as Nexus Prime, giving [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] his sword. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

====Aligned novels====
Known as the "Wizard of Forms", Nexus Prime was all about change and mutability. When standing alone, his body seemed to shift or be overlaid with ever-changing forms and combinations he might take. Powerful, proud, and frequently unpredictable even to those who knew him best, Nexus Prime was full of good humor and a bit of a prankster at times. He was the "mad experimenter" of the Thirteen and is fascinated by changing states of matter and the creation of new elements in solar forges. This shared affinity for creation led [[Solus Prime]], the "Maker" of the Thirteen, to have special feelings for Nexus, which in turn seemed to have earned him the enmity of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] and [[Liege Maximo]].

Nexus Prime was last seen by Alpha Trion before the [[Age of Wrath]], taking custody of many of Solus Prime's creations, including the Cyber Caliber, the [[Chaos Edge]], the [[Blades of Time]], and the [[Omni Saber]].
The Omni Saber was a part of Nexus Prime's body, and he secreted the Cyber Caliber away inside his form as well before splitting himself into five component robots: Clocker, Mainspring, Chaindrive, Pinion, and Cannonspring.
Each component held a fraction of the Cyber Caliber within themselves and was also charged with guarding one of the Blades of Time. Only by assembling the Blades of Time and using them to open a gateway to the hollow [[Realm of the Primes|realm]] of Vector Prime could the Cyber Caliber be reassembled. The [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|Star Saber]] was believed to have been taken by Nexus Prime but was not in his possession during the [[Great Exodus]].

The sub-selves of Nexus Prime scattered throughout the colony worlds of Cybertron. They remained apart for so long that each forgot their true nature, and no longer recalled being part of Nexus Prime or the Thirteen. All but Cannonspring even forgot their duty to safeguard the Blades of Time and the Cyber Caliber. Clocker and Mainspring wound up on [[Velocitron]], where they remained slightly out of place as mechanics instead of the speed-driven racers who ruled the planet. Pinion ended up on [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]], assimilating well into the culture (perhaps because the Junkion way of constantly reusing materials appealed to the subconscious preference of Nexus Prime for change). Chaindrive found himself on Cybertron, and eventually became part of the Autobot resistance movement alongside [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] and Alpha Trion after the Ark's departure. Cannonspring ended up in a crippled ship in Cybertron's deep orbit, until the prospector [[Axer (Prime)|Axer]] triggered some latent transwarp energy on board, transporting them both to Junkion. Cannonspring remained inert for over a million years inside his ship after it crashed.

Nexus Prime began to come together once more thanks to the Matrix, which directed Optimus Prime through space to the various colony worlds. As the Ark came to Velocitron, Optimus discovered two pieces of the Blades of Time and fatefully agreed to bring Clocker and Mainspring on the next leg of his journey when they asked. On Junkion, Prime encountered Pinion while recovering a third Blade, and the fourth was retrieved from Axer. Meanwhile, back on Cybertron, Alpha Trion and [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] concocted a method of sending a scout after Optimus Prime by keying residual Space Bridge energy to the signature of the Matrix. Instinctively, Alpha Trion decided Chaindrive was the proper choice, and he brought with him the fifth Blade. Once all five Blades and the other four components assembled on Junkion, the combined energy was enough to rekindle the inert Cannonspring, bringing him back to full functioning and allowing them to reassemble into Nexus Prime.

Displaying the ability to hold more weapons than an armory, Nexus Prime pulled forth both his Omni Saber and the Chaos Edge, and also passed the Cyber Caliber over to Optimus Prime. Although he refused to kill anyone, Nexus Prime essentially held off the Decepticons and the [[Star Seeker]]s for a time, on intimidation alone. As [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] and [[Thundertron]] left to pursue other goals, Nexus Prime reclaimed his swords and gave some last words of encouragement to Optimus Prime before splitting himself once more. Reduced to a new set of five protoforms, Nexus Prime vanished into space and the annals of history once more. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

====''Prime'' cartoon====
According to legend, at the beginning of time, [[Unicron]] and [[Primus]] battled each other for eons, with neither side remaining victorious for long. Till, that is, Primus created the [[Thirteen]]. These Thirteen defeated Unicron and cast him into space. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}

[[File:OriginMyths-ThePrimes.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Love child of Silverbolt and Wheeljack.]]

In the primitive age that followed the departure of the [[Knights of Cybertron]], Nexus Prime joined his [[Thirteen Tribes|tribe]] with those of [[Solus Prime|Solus]], [[Vector Prime|Vector]], [[Maccadam|Alchemist Prime]] and [[Alpha Trion]] in [[Crystal City]]. Like the other four, he knew [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]] but he himself was disgusted by Onyx's bestial horde and took time to become acclimated to them. He had a brother in the east who ruled his own kingdom. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} Nexus was the first recorded owner of the mysterious artifact known as the [[Enigma of Combination]]. He evidently chose to keep the artifact's true nature as a physical object a secret, with most believing the "Enigma" part of the name referred to a puzzle that had to be solved to allow for [[Combiner|combination]]. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

One evening, Vector Prime barged in on a meeting to announce the approach of Onyx and [[Liege Maximo|a crony]], as well as the news that [[Septimus Prime]] had perished and that [[The Fallen|the conqueror]] of [[Protihex|his lands]] was on the warpath across Cybertron. Despite Solus and Onyx's dismissal, Nexus felt Septimus had still been a Prime such as they were before he asked who Onyx's minion was, the newcomer introducing himself as Liege Maximo, who had also lost his lands to the army of [[Darklands|Darklanders]]. At Alpha Trion's urging, the Primes allowed Onyx and Liege Maximo into their alliance. When the time of battle came, Nexus wished to join his followers in combat but remained behind at Solus's urging. After the [[Titan (group)|Titans]] arrived, Onyx leapt into the fray only to recognize the enemy commander as his old friend Megatronus. Nexus was shocked at this development, before the eight Primes joined forces. In the aftermath, [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] expressed the belief that the alliance would attract Nexus's brother to him. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} Unbeknownst to the Primes, the 'bot they believed to be Onyx Prime was in fact a time-travelling Shockwave from ten million years in the future who had engineered the entire conflict to bring the Primes together as history recorded. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

[[File:RID34 enigma of combination.jpg|thumb|left|250px|My Enigma don't go to none if they're lowborn, hun.]]

Power turned Nexus into something of a git really, believing that all non-Primes should serve their Prime masters. {{storylink|The Crucible}} Among the members of his court was a [[Titan Master]] by the name of [[Infinitus]], who wholeheartedly believed in his master's elitist approach to social engineering. {{storylink|White Heat}} The Thirteen Primes ruled their planet peacefully until Liege Maximo and Megatronus conspired together, goaded on by Shockwave's machinations, and started the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]] via the murder of Solus Prime. While Megatronus fled Cybertron, Nexus and [[Quintus Prime|Quintus]] managed to restrain Maximo, before trying and exiling him aboard [[Vigilem]]. {{storylink|Heavy}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

Nexus allied himself with "Onyx Prime" during the war and used his [[Enigma of Combination]] to create the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]: humanoid Transformers combined with beasts. {{storylink|The Crucible}} [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] found the whole concept disgusting and single-handedly slaughtered the Headmasters before coming after Nexus himself. Nexus sneered that Galvatron was a "lowborn" that couldn't kill him, and Galvatron responded by doing just that. The realization that a Prime could be killed by someone other than another Prime caused most of the remaining Primes to flee the planet. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

He was survived by Infinitus, who vowed to keep his master's teachings alive and eventually apply them to all of Cybertron–especially the parts about forced servitude to the Primes. {{storylink|White Heat}} Nexus's [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Devisiun (Titan)|Devisiun]], also survived the war and colonized [[Devisiun (planet)|a planet]] in honor of his master which the younger Shockwave eventually seeded with [[Ore-5]]. {{storylink|Ceremony|The Lost Colonies of Cybertron}}

:Nexus Maximus is composed of his five team members, with Heatwave forming his central body component. His limbs' [[energon weapon]]s form his hands and feet. Conisisting of [[redeco]]s of components of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' combiners, Nexus Maximus, just like [[Superion Maximus]], [[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus Maximus]], and [[Constructicon Maximus]], features universal connection points for the limbs, allowing many different combinations and even swapping of limbs from different teams, in a fashion very similar to ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'''s "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and Transformers 2010)|Scramble City]]"-type combiner teams. Unlike the other Maximus-style combiners, Nexus Maximus features four unique molds for his limb pieces, rather than two redecoed to fit both the legs and arms, due to him using both [[Destruction Team]] and [[Air Team]] molds. Whereas the individual components' robot modes still feature the same head sculpts as the ''Energon'' figures they're redecoed from, the combined form of Nexus Maximus himself was given an entirely new, unique head sculpt, which is an amalgamation of visual elements of its components' own heads: Skyfall's eyes, Landquake's chin, Breakaway's forehead, Topspin's "mohawk", and Heatwave's "ears".

:Nexus Maximus is the combined form of the first five [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] freebie toys, which were released over the span of five years in different toyline brandings for the components.

He attaches to the frame backwards compared to Silverbolt, allowing the bulk of the figure to show as a chestplate, rather than be covered up by Superion’s chestplate.

==Notes==
[[File:NexusPrimeHead.jpg|thumb|upright=1.75|]]
*Nexus Prime's backstory bears a noticeable similarity to that of {{w|Voltron}}.
*Nexus Prime's TFCC magazine profile mentions that he "no longer has an [[alternate mode]]", due to being split apart for so long and then reassembled.
*Like other members of the Thirteen, Nexus was originally established as a [[multiversal singularity]] who existed as one being across all space and time, but that is [[Shroud|no longer the case]].
*As depicted in the Covenant of Primus, all five of his known components are visible on the right side of the body: a tank (Landfall) and jet (Breakaway) making up one arm, and a helicopter (Topspin) and jet (Skyquake) making up one leg. Hasbro designer [[Aaron Archer]]'s intent was that, as the ultimate combiner, Nexus Prime was not limited to just five components, but could instead combine with any number of robots.<ref name=reinterpretation>{{citesocial
|quote=I would suggest that instead of calling it a misrepresentation, call it a reinterpretation. The Cov. version of Nexus Prime as represented in the book, not only has a rearranged parts, all known (5) parts are represented on the viewable side, he is made up of at least ten parts, half hidden in shadow (other than elements of a carrier type jet) as they were not full named or fully realized characters - it was Aaron Archer's direction that he not be only confined to 5 members, but his core made him combine-able with anyone, as he is a god character. Along with the face detail being moved around, I also did several sketches with him as ever more laden with combiner parts, walking hunched over ala RotF Devastator, or more wide stanced with 4 arms. |link=https://roseknightmare.tistory.com/2760 |name=Ken Christiansen |site=blog post |title=Nexus Prime’s Face Design: Reinterpretation, Not an Error |year=2025 |month=11 |day=26}}</ref>

*Nexus Prime's head design varies greatly across his depictions. The design—an amalgamation of traits from his components' heads—is meant to evoke a superhero cowl (similiar to [[Batman]]), with his head covered in armor but his mouth exposed. However, the deco used for his mouth is almost completely black, making it difficult to see. ''The Covenant of Primus'' reinterpreted his mouth area as a visor, his chin as a [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]]-esque [[mouthplate]], and his actual eyes as forehead detail. It also tweaked the sides of his head into antenna and circular details resembling those of Optimus Prime. Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] has stated that these changes were deliberate reinterpretation.<ref name=reinterpretation /> Most subsequent incarnations have followed the Covenant interpretation; as a result of this game of telephone, his big screen debut in ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' bears almost no resemblance to his original design (save for the upper-torso, which is nearly 1:1).
*[[Volcanicus (Cyberverse)|''Cyberverse'' Volcanicus]]'s head is based on the Covenant's Nexus Prime design, albeit with a mouth and chin-guard resembling Nexus's original design.

===Naming issues===
[[Fun Publications]] originally submitted the possible names '''Prime Nexus''' and '''Maximus Prime''' to [[Hasbro]] for the character (reflecting the fact that the character is a Prime in-fiction), Hasbro rejected these, apparently because they were feeling protective towards the use of the name Prime (despite previously having approved the fiction that named him a Prime, written by their own [[Forest Lee]]). Hasbro suggested merging the non-Prime segments of the two names instead... oops.

Apparently neither Hasbro nor Fun Publications did their research when naming Nexus Maximus, because there is another product which shares that name and was, as of [[May 24]], [[2009]], the top Google result (websites relating to this character have since surpassed it). While it is definitely a "toy", it is most assuredly not intended for ages 5 and up. According to the Fun Publications Club panel at [[BotCon 2009]], Hasbro did a search for the name with "safe search" on, causing them to not see... well, [http://www.edenfantasys.com/dildos/double-ended-dildos/nexus-maximus this]. '''NOTE: DEFINITELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK.'''

When he finally appeared in fiction, his name was, in fact, given as Nexus Prime, which makes much better sense story-wise but deprives us of many cheap and easy joke opportunities. [[Pete Sinclair]] posted an image on the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] forums of [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]] blaming the "Nexus Maximus" name on a bad translation by [[Beta Maxx (RID)|Beta Maxx]].<ref>[https://tilallaremine.wordpress.com/2011/05/31/nexus-prime/ Definitely, definitely, *not* Nexus Maximus. Timelines Nexus Prime!] from 'Til All Are Mine blog.</ref>

(The debate is still on as to whether Nexus Maximus constitutes a choking hazard.)

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Nexus Prime''' (ネクサスプライム ''Nekusasu Puraimu'')
*''Mandarin:'' '''Jīng Tiān Wěi''' (经天纬)

[[File:MTMTEBlastOff.jpg|upright=1.8|thumb|Ground control to Major Denial.]]
'''Blast Off''' doesn't need a write-up in some pathetic, [[Main Page|grubby little human database]]. It might matter to [[Sky Lynx (G1)|''some'' robots]] what others think of them, or if they think of them at all, but Blast Off couldn't care less. No, he's literally and figuratively above your average Cybertronian riff-raff. The other Combaticons could completely forget he's up here, orbiting so far above the Earth, distant and alone... with only the empty void for company... and he couldn't care less. No, certainly not.

Lesser robots could hardly understand the joy... yes, that's it, the joy, he finds in efficiently and remorselessly annihilating targets from such a great distance. Blast Off was quite simply "built better" than the rest, you see, and so needs nothing from those tiny beings moving about so... so very... far away below. Blast Off... Blast Off is quite happy with his superior position, yes, quite happy and... and quite alone.

Blast Off condescends to combine with his fellow [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] to form [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]].

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====

[[File:RevengeBruticus BlastOff Brawl.jpg|left|thumb|"You ever think about what you want to do after graduation?"]]
Blast Off was one of the five [[renegade Decepticon]]s liberated by [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] in the Air Commander's latest attempt to unseat [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. As an element of their imprisonment, they had been reduced to mere [[personality component]]s, so Starscream installed them into abandoned [[World War II]] military vehicles. The transplant caused the vehicles to immediately reconfigure themselves: Blast Off in particular went from being a {{w|B-17 Flying Fortress|B-17 bomber}}<ref>"Starscream's Brigade" shooting script</ref> to being a space shuttle, of all things (though he still thought that it was a "crude carcass"). Starscream called them "Combaticons" and announced their names as they transformed, but they didn't recognize him. Nor did they feel particularly indebted to him for their release; in the end, Starscream only guaranteed their loyalty though having given them bodies bereft of [[energy absorber]]s, so they would be dependent upon him to refuel. While their first missions for Starscream were initially successful, the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]]' intervention meant the brigade's defeat, and Megatron exiled all six to a remote asteroid. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

Their exile would prove to be short-lived. With Blast Off providing the locomotion, the Combaticons returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where they defeated [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]] and his [[Sentinel (G1)|drone army]]. It took a temporary Autobot-Decepticon alliance to defeat the Combaticons, and the Autobots believed them destroyed after Cybertron's sort-of liberation. In reality, Megatron had Bruticus (and thus, Blast Off, we guess) reprogrammed to be more loyal. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

[[File:AerialAssault BlastOff Aerialbots.jpg|thumb|"Are you sure this is where we parked?"]]
The Combaticons later ambushed the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] in a Middle Eastern country, and Blast Off heavily damaged [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]] during the battle. He and the others then went off to help Megatron with his scheme to steal fighter aircraft from the country, and to protect his [[Giant Purple Griffin]]. Blast Off somehow failed to notice the Autobot [[insignia]]s on the stolen and disassembled Slingshot and [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] before deeming both jets "cheap junk" and leaving. Although to be fair, he probably would've said that even ''if'' he knew who they were. Blast Off participated in the following battle against the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], but lost when they ignited an oil well, creating an explosion that sent Bruticus flying. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}}

Later, Blast Off and his teammates were driving (despite his obvious lack of wheels) around a city before abruptly forming Bruticus and just as abruptly getting blown to scrap by [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. Only [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] was left in one piece, and he quickly took the opportunity to sell the parts of Blast Off and the others to various [[El Presidente|people]]. As soon as Megatron found out, he forced Swindle to get them back, and Blast Off was soon repaired. Then Bruticus was defeated by the Autobots again. {{storylink|B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.}}

In [[2006]], the Decepticons were driven off Cybertron and took refuge on [[Chaar]], with Blast Off and the others starved for [[energon]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} Blast Off joined in on the attack when the Decepticons noticed [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] spying on them. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}} When the Decepticons were offered energon by the [[Quintesson]]s, the Combaticons joined up with them. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} For this decision, Blast Off was shot in the back by [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] and quickly re-pledged his loyalty to him. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Blast Off was among those Decepticons sent to Earth to prevent the Autobots from delivering a new [[Tranformation cog (biology)|transformation cog]] to [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], but they failed in that attempt. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

[[File:Chaos RunamuckonBlastOff.jpg|left|thumb|"Heigh-ho, Blast Off, away!" 
"Aw, shut up, Runamuck!"]]
Later, Blast Off was patrolling a litter void in Decepticon territorial space when he found a [[Skuxxoid]] on a rocket sled making target practice out of the junk. After running the little punk to ground, Blast Off "convinced" him to give over his impressive blaster cannon. In addition, the alien told him how to find the weapon's rare ammunition, [[death crystal]]s, from Quig Mountain on the planet [[Dread (planet)|Dread]]. When the Autobots came to investigate, Blast Off and [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]] attempted to chase them off the scene. [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], another egotistical space shuttle, gave them a merry chase, but Runamuck managed to blow up a comet to cover their escape. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

[[File:SurpriseParty GiantBlastOff.jpg|thumb|Determined to one-up Astrotrain, Blast Off grows big enough to transport his teammates and their combined form.]]
The Combaticons later failed to assassinate Decepticon exile [[Octane]] at [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]]. {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}} Blast Off followed Galvatron to [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]] to track down [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], where they temporarily formed an alliance with [[Abdul Fakkadi (G1)|Abdul Fakkadi]]. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}} The Combaticons showed off some guerrilla tactics by appearing out of nowhere to damage a peace conference shuttle before escaping aboard Blast Off. {{storylink|Surprise Party}} Blast Off served as transport for Soundwave when the Decepticons attacked the planet of [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]]. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}} When the Decepticons conquered [[Paradron]], Blast Off and Swindle guarded jail cells, but didn't do very well when Rodimus Prime and his troops arrived to rescue the prisoners. Meanwhile, Blast Off was somehow also part of Bruticus, who was watching the whole affair alongside Galvatron. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} As part of Bruticus, Blast Off battled Defensor in [[Japan]], but the Combaticons were forced to separate and scatter when [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] arrived on the scene. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

In [[2007]], the Combaticons were infected by the [[Hate Plague]]. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} Later that year, the Decepticons attacked Cybertron in order to take control of the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. As the other Combaticons built a giant engine on the planet's surface, Blast Off shot down [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] before reporting to Galvatron that the Aerialbots had been vanquished. He then ripped out [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s [[power pack]] to fuel the engine. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

In the year [[2011]], [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] ordered a large-scale Decepticon assault on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in order to get his hands on [[Vector Sigma]]. The Combaticons were part of the attack forces, and Blast Off was seen bombing random targets until he was shot out of the sky by [[Jazz (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Jazz]]. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} As the battle continued, Blast Off merged with his team to form Bruticus, but even alongside the other Decepticon combiners, he was no match for [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]]. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} The Combaticons were driven away, and were instead sent to Earth with orders to stop [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] from bringing the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. Before they got very far, they were ambushed by the Protectobots and were buried in a rockslide in the ensuing battle. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}} Blast Off subsequently helped defend [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] against [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Twincast]]'s infiltration, but the Autobot spy snuck past when the Combaticons were distracted by the timely arrival of the Aerialbots. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

Blast Off later participated in another attack on Cybertron, this time because Galvatron wanted [[Cybertonuron]]. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} The Combaticons ended up facing Defensor yet again, and Bruticus was defeated by a swift kick to the neck. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}} As part of Bruticus, Blast Off later defended a giant carnivorous plant in [[San Francisco]] from [[Raiden]]. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] then took command of the Combaticons, who sent them to attack an Autobot energy facility in [[Florida|Miami]] alongside the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and [[Horrorcon (G1)|Horrorcons]]. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} They also unleashed Bruticus at Sixshot's order as he continued his reign of terror over the Autobots on Earth. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

[[File:IRMLFE Decepticon cheer.jpg|thumb|left]]
When [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] officially took over [[Decepticon leader|leadership]] after Galvatron's death, Blast Off was amongst the cheering Decepticons. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}} On the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], Bruticus later tried to divert attention away from the Decepticon base, to no avail. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} Later, back on Earth, Bruticus stood by and laughed as [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] sank the luxury liner ''[[Queen World]]'' in the Atlantic Ocean. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} Blast Off was present at the massive Autobot-Decepticon battle in the [[Arctic]], if only as part of Bruticus.

In [[2050]], Blast Off and the Decepticons joined the revolution of the [[Selector]]s against their human masters. Blast Off was seen flying into battle with his onetime partner, [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]]. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 2}} Later on, The [[Quintesson]]s and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s sided with the humans, and [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] attacked all while craving [[Angolmois Energy]].

[[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] and [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] took control of Bruticus's legs and flew away with Blast Off, Vortex and Onslaught, planning to drop them off somewhere over the ocean. {{storylink|Fight!

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 Bruticus 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}}

====Madman ''The Transformers'' comic====
In the year 2001, the Decepticons had managed to conquer Cybertron completely. As the Autobots evacuated off-planet, Blast Off was one of the many space-worthy Decepticons who pursued them into orbit and attacked. {{storylink|The Transformers (Madman)|The Transformers}}

====''Wings Universe''====
{{Wingsnote}}
Blast Off graduated from the [[Autobot Military Academy]] and was drafted into the [[Elite Guard]]. He underwent the flying upgrade program to become a Space Warrior, but was curiously outfitted with a rather situation-specific (''re: useless'') [[alternate mode]] as a planetary orbiter. [[Magnum]] and [[Sentinel Major]] recruited him into the Guard's Special Ops Team, the Combaticons. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 2}}

On their first mission, the Combaticons were teamed with [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]] and his Elite Guard Strike Team. In the rundown city known as [[Median]], an archeological dig had uncovered a powerful artifact known as the [[Heart of the Dragon]], and the Decepticon raiders from [[Quarex]] called [[Stormtrooper (G1)|Stormtroopers]] were planning to swipe it. The Elite Guard arrived in Median to plan a defense and protect the dig team from the coming attack.

It was slow going converting the dilapidated ruins into a sturdy bunker to hold off an attack. Blast Off, [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] and [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] worked with the dig's security chief [[Strika (BM)|Strika]] on the fortifications, but Blast Off's prissy manner made him little help. He bemoaned the perils of manual labor, while also complaining about his useless orbiter mode which kept him from being useful during manual labor. When the Stormtroopers arrived, [[Rage (G1)|Rage]] and his minions made it past Metalhawk's crew because he made the mistake of trying to take them alive. The operation went downhill from there, and the Decepticons soon escaped with the Heart.

Tracking the Stormtroopers back to their mobile base, the [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]], Blast Off and the others fought their way through Rage's bizarre creations, the [[Minotoron]]s. Seeing an opportunity to sneak inside, Blast Off, [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and Dion mounted the creatures when they were summoned back inside the Metrotitan. Inside the mechanimals pen, however, the only possible exit was an enclosed observation booth far above their heads. Once again, Blast Off lamented the uselessness of his alternate mode, since he could only fly straight up, unable to maneuver enough to get them into the booth. It was up to Dion to use his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] boosters as a makeshift jetpack to reach the upper levels.

Once the team had reassembled inside, they were forced to confront [[Brimstone (G1 Decepticon)|Brimstone]], a small but powerful Transformer with atom-smashing breath, brought to life by the Heart of the Dragon. They engaged in an accelerated advance to the rear long enough for the Strike Team's <s>mad bomber</s> weapons specialist [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]] to cobble together his explosives and blast Brimstone to [[J'nwan]]. The blast didn't kill the creature, but it did upset his delicate energy containment protocols, causing him to explode from the inside out. Blast Off and the Elite Guard managed to escape the blast radius, and reported back to Magnum about a job well done. {{storylink|Flames of Yesterday}}

The Combaticons and Strike Team continued to work together on many missions over the following weeks. After successfully eliminating [[Shadowcaster]], Blast Off and the Combaticons broke off from their partners to control patrolling the area and search for further leads on the [[Decepticon Warlord]]s. Instead, they ended up being captured by [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 3}}

Deathsaurus saw potential in the Combaticons, and manipulated them into abandoning the Elite Guard and siding with him. For Blast Off, the manipulation required little more than the promise of a [[Triple Changer]] upgrade with both land AND space modes so he wouldn't have to be so... lonely up there... {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 4}}

Blast Off and the Combaticons led a squadron of Deathsaurus's troops in battle against the Elite Guard headquarters. Four Elite Guard teams returned to base quickly enough to eliminate the threat of most of the Decepticons. The Combaticons had one last ace to play, however, and used Deathsaurus's new combination technology to merge into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], killing Sentinel Major and starting the slaughter anew. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 5}} Bruticus managed to slaughter pretty much all of the Guard before [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] blinded the giant, forcing them to separate. They headed back to Deathsaurus's base for repairs. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 6}}

Repairs proceeded, but the Combaticons were startled to learn that Deathsaurus could force them to combine into Bruticus at will. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 2}} They still turned out to help defend the base against the remnants of the Elite Guard. Blast Off found himself grappling with [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]], but gained the upper hand when the Autobot was distracted by the sight of a sword-wielding [[Lyzack (G1)|Lyzack]]. The Combaticons attempted to merge, only to be blasted mid-combination. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 3}} In the resulting confusion, Blast Off was bound and sat on by Side Burn, preventing the Combaticons from forming Bruticus again and ultimately resulting in their capture by the Elite Guard. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 4}}

In the hands of the compromised [[Gyronian Sentry|Gyronian Sentry Team]], the Combaticons were whisked away to Deathsaurus's fortress, now under Megatron's control. Though Megatron gave them the option, none of them cared to help Deathsaurus, and they were imprisoned and their personality components subsequently interred in the Decepticon Detention Center. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}}

Blast Off and the other Combaticons were led by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] to steal a [[hydrothermocline]] energy device from [[Energy Futures Industries]], only to be faced with Optimus Prime and his Protectobots. After some advice by a nearby human named [[Ethan Zachary]], the two groups decided to fight [[Multi-World|virtually]] rather risk damage to the power plant. Transferring his mind into a computer, Blast Off teamed up with [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] and ambushed [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] and [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] in the area called the "Cloud-Steppes". They did well at first with Blast Off hitting Blades with his [[x-ray laser]], until the local AI turned against them and distracted the two fliers with a cloud, allowing Groove to blind them with his [[photon pistol]] so that they crashed into each other and lost the game.

That's right. Blast Off, Lord of the Skies, was beaten up by a cloud. {{storylink|Afterdeath!}} ''These events were observed by the [[time travel]]ling [[Dicet Alpha-zero]].'' {{storylink|The Quest!}}

When the Decepticons successfully acquired the hydrothermocline, they planned to relocate it to the Florida Keys. Megatron assembled a convoy to travel in disguise by road down to the Keys, and so Blast Off joined the convoy. Of cars. Traveling from Wyoming to Florida. While flying in shuttle mode. Down U.S.-1 at less than 100 mph. And yet, the Decepticons called ''Megatron'' mad for expecting an Autobot attack..? {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}}

''On a mission for Commander [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]], Blast Off and the Combaticons secured a volcano where the nemeses [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] had been found frozen in the cooled lava like flies in amber. Shockwave saw Galvatron as a threat to his power base and wanted the volcano destroyed with Galvatron stuck inside it. The Combaticons' mission was interrupted, however, by several female fleshlings trying to save Ultra Magnus. They sent a speeding jeep towards Blast Off and his comrades, but the Combaticons stopped the vehicle easily. However, they didn't fare as well against a tank the women had appropriated, which fired at the jeep and set off the storage of explosives the women had put inside it.'' {{storylink|Ladies' Night (issue)|Ladies' Night}}

[[File:UsedAutobot BlastOff Groove.JPG|thumb|Blast Off demonstrates for Groove how some toys fail the drop test.]]
He and his fellow Combaticons were sent on a hunting mission by Decepticon command and spent several weeks tracking and tormenting [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and the [[Throttlebot]]s, who had recently interfered with their schemes. They were interrupted by both the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and a squadron of [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]] soldiers, though, and engaged in battle with the first of these two groups. Blast Off demonstrated his unmitigated superiority by beating up a [[Groove (G1)|pacifist]]. Darn peace-niks. Blast Off's team was unable to secure their targets while so occupied however, and beat a retreat after the humans had taken off with the Throttlebots themselves. {{storylink|Used Autobots}} Blast Off and his teammates chose to pursue the Protectobots, and tracked them on their return journey to the Ark. Ambushing them in a sprawling train yard, the Combaticons joined to form Bruticus, successfully bringing down the similarly merged [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] after a prolonged battle. But the dim-witted combiner was then tricked into lowering his guard by Blaster, who knocked out his opponent by collapsing an electrical tower atop of him. Afterwards, Blast Off was slapped with a mode-lock device so that Blaster could remote-control him, taking his four [[Spacehikers|newfound human friends]] for a spin around Earth's orbit. {{storylink|Child's Play (issue)|Child's Play}} Unfortunately, Blaster was at odds with Autobot leader [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] at the time as well, and Blast Off and his passengers were forcibly captured by the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. {{storylink|Spacehikers!}} The Decepticon later either escaped Autobot custody on his own or was rescued along with [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]'s victims by the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

''The Combaticons eventually wound up under the leadership of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. On his orders, they staged a raid on the [[Rutter U.S. Military Base]]. There, they secured two armed warheads and components from an advanced guidance computer. The Protectobots intervened part-way through the theft, but Blast Off managed to clear the area with the loot while his teammates provided cover, bringing his cargo all the way to Scorponok's orbital headquarters.'' {{storylink|Prime Bomb!}}

=====The Big Broadcast of 2006=====
{{NoteMarvelBB2006}}
In [[2006]] of an alternate future, Blast Off was drawn to a battle on [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]] after succumbing to the hypnotizing effect of a [[Quintesson]] signal. After the Autobots managed to disable the signal, returning all combatants to their senses, he helped the Decepticons retreat from the planet by serving as their transport. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

In [[2008]], Blast Off was briefly seen racing through the skies with his fellow Decepticons on the way to attack [[Autobase]]; the Decepticons had been fed information that the Autobots had mostly left Cybertron, leaving their territories vulnerable. This turned out to be a Quintesson ruse, and the aliens ambushed the Decepticons in a bid to forcefully colonize the Transformer homeworld. The Decepticons wound up having to temporarily join forces with the Autobots to thwart them. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

Blast Off was one of the Decepticons who fell back under Megatron's command after [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] was destroyed. He was among the crowd of Decepticons Megatron whipped up into a warrior frenzy before first confronting [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] and his second-generation [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronians]]. {{storylink|New Dawn}} He later showed concern when Onslaught buckled over in pain, despite no cause for it being apparent.

===The Special Teams===
Blast Off and the rest of the Combaticons were created by Starscream on a remote Pacific island, by combining military vehicles with Energon cubes. They then drove to the [[Pullen Power Plant]], passing Optimus Prime en route, though the Autobot leader was none-the-wiser to the Decepticons in disguise. Blast Off crossed paths with Fireflight and Skydive in the air, who recognized Blast Off's Decepticon badge. Their cover ruined, Onslaught ordered to rest of his team to merge with him to form Bruticus. {{storylink|The Special Teams}}

===Battle Beneath the Ice===
[[File:BBTI-Combaticons.jpg|thumb]]
When the humans discovered a city buried beneath the ice, Blast Off and the Decepticons came looking for an opportunity to loot it. Initially blamed for shooting down a research plane, Blast Off and the Combaticons fought the Aerialbots until [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] alerted them that the [[city-dweller]]s were the true enemy of them all. After the Autobots and Decepticons worked together to neutralize the city-dwellers, Blast Off transformed to shuttle mode and ferried his fellow Combaticons and Ravage back to Megatron. {{storylink|Battle Beneath the Ice}}

Blast Off was monitoring things on the Decepticon's derelict space cruiser when he spotted one of the Autobot [[Clone (subgroup)|Clone]]s though a doorway.

Blast Off and the rest of the Combaticons served under [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] on a Decepticon ship, when they managed to shoot down the ship being captained by Ultra Magnus. After the Autobots crash-landed on planet [[Barrenikon]], the Decepticons landed their ship nearby to finish off their enemies. In the many possible adventures that followed, Blast Off and the other Decepticons often underestimated you, which often led to them losing to the Autobots, leaving them either stranded on Barrenikon, or fleeing after they received too much damage. That is, if you somehow didn't get yourself killed at their hands. {{storylink|The Transformers Sticker Book (St. Michael)|The Transformers Sticker Book}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:WarWithin2 BlastOff.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|]]
Shortly after [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] became the new Autobot Supreme Commander, Blast Off took part in the Decepticon assault upon [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 2|The War Within #2}} He attacked the [[Decagon]], dogfighting with [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]], {{storylink|The War Within issue 3|The War Within #3}} and was later at Shockwave's side when he ordered his troops to make the final push. {{storylink|The War Within issue 4|The War Within #4}} Blast Off rushed to the front lines as the Decepticons managed to breach the last of the Autobots' defenses. {{storylink|The War Within issue 5|The War Within #5}}

During the [[Dark Ages]] of Cybertron's civil war, while footage of a brawl between Defensor and Devastator was caught on-camera by Prowl's computers in his Autobase, Blast Off was also spotted by one of the hub's screens. {{storylink|Escalation}}

Millions of years later, Blast Off, along with his fellow Combaticons, was imprisoned by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}} until they were released by Starscream. In a plot to plunder Earth of its resources, Starscream planned to abscond with the dormant Combaticons while Shockwave regime was in the midst of being overthrown by the Autobots. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

Returning to the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' via an uncooperative [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], Starscream realized he needed to take parts from the Autobots' [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] if he ever hoped to get the ''Nemesis'' flying again, and for that he needed considerable firepower. Fortunately, there was a nearby abandoned military testing ground from which the Combaticons could scan Earth-based alternate modes. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} When the attack on the ''Ark'' was launched, the Autobots had little problem defending against the first wave, successfully capturing [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], but several of the Autobots were soundly beaten when the Combaticons showed up and combined into the mighty Bruticus. The behemoth attacked the ''Ark'' freeing his Decepticon compatriots before going after [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]. Unfortunately, the Autobots activated their ship's self-destruct before escaping, damaging the Combaticons in the resulting explosion. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}}

[[File:Onslaught G1DW routeofallevil.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb|]]
Damaged or not, the Combaticons soon had to face a powerful enemy when the crazed zealot [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] appeared on Earth, but before they could attack him, Bruticus' head was blown apart by [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] in the Autobot supply ship ''[[Orion]]''. In the aftermath, Bruticus's barely-conscious body was battered upon by an angry Brawn. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}}

The repaired Combaticons were brought to Guadalcanal, where they could hone their somewhat lackluster combat skills and listen to Starscream's long-winded aspirations of glory. Starscream ordered them to defeat the Autobot [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] as a means to train themselves for greater battles. Blast Off ordered Vortex to "take Sky Lynx down", but unfortunately, the Combaticons did not fare well when the Autobot split into his two forms, and Blast Off was embarrassingly grabbed in the flying form's jaws.

This was the least of their troubles, however, as [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] showed up as soon as Sky Lynx was deactivated. This encounter also did not end well. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

[[File:Stormbringer4 Decepticonfliers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|"Whoever hits [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] gets the Cybertron Clearing House."]]
When [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] took command of the Decepticons, the Combaticons rebelled and left Cybertron, becoming mercenaries. While breaking into a weapons vault on the [[Presidium (planet)|Presidium]] they were approached by [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] and offered ample payment for returning to the Decepticon fold, which Blast Off and the other Combaticons accepted. {{storylink|Primacy issue 2|Primacy #2}}

Blast Off was part of the troop complement aboard the Decepticon warship ''[[Thanatos]]'' under the command of [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]]. With respect to the desperate defense the [[Wreckers]] were mounting against [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], Razorclaw sent out two squads of Decepticons to assist the Autobots; Blast Off was among the aerial forces led by [[Divebomb (G1)|Divebomb]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}

[[File:SpotlightArcee BlastOff.jpg|left|upright=1.95|thumb|Now that's just rude.]]
He was later reassigned to the Combaticons operating under [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]]'s [[Decepticon Secret Service]]. The Combaticons were used as an elite storming brigade in the attack on the [[Garrus-9]] penitentiary in an effort to capture the prison's [[Pretender Monster|newest inmates]] and their so-called [[Combiner|gestalt technology]]. Blast Off was right in the middle of chortling over the fun of killing folk when he was skewered by [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]]. The other Combaticons carried him out with them when they evacuated with their prizes. {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}}

After a deal was negotiated between Arcee and Banzai-Tron, Blast Off and the other Combaticons later helped her in an attempt to recapture [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] (who had been stolen by [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] and [[Nova Prime|Nemesis Prime]]'s forces), though the insane Autobot disappeared mid-battle. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

While Blast Off didn't participate in the Combaticons' [[North Korea|adventures]] on [[Earth]] for reasons unknown, he resurfaced years later on Cybertron as one of the Decepticons imprisoned by the Autobots following the end of the war. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|The Autonomy Lesson}} After the captive 'cons had gotten some level of freedom, Blast Off was part of a Cybertronian crowd recruited by [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] to pressure [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] into revealing a secret discovery below ground. Following Starscream into the cave, they witnessed a [[Titan (group)|Titan]] declare him the Cybertronian destined to unite their whole race. He and the other Cybertronians celebrated afterwards with Starscream. {{storylink|Primus: All Good Things}} Once [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] appeared in Iacon, Blast Off and the other Decepticons threw the peace aside and began rioting for a return to the good old days. {{storylink|City on Fire}}

Blast Off joined the riot for [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s space bridge under Swindle's claims that a better life was possible on Caminus. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} He later rejoined his fellow Combaticon teammates as they stewed over Starscream's leadership of Cybertron, with Blast Off being particularly angry about his attempts to sweep the past aside. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} A mysterious informant, DC-357, had already told them that Swindle might be a prisoner rather than a corpse {{storylink|07:00:00}} and they sprayed "SWINDLE LIVES" on a nearby wall as a statement of intent. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}}

To mark Chosen One Day, the Combaticons bought Onslaught a new grenade! {{storylink|Choose Me}}

[[File:0700 BlastOffOnslaught.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2]]
Months in, Blast Off and the others became worried Onslaught was wasting his time in the Swindle search. Blast Off tried and failed to get him to stop. After Onslaught stormed out, it was Blast Off that saw a new DC-357 message come in and inform them that he'd left a [[Badgeless]] disguise outside. Hoping to finally shake the tree, as already the Badgeless' violence was provoking resentment, Blast Off donned the garb, joined a patrol, and as soon as he got a chance he shot a Decepticon escapee dead and sent footage of it to the press. {{storylink|07:00:00}} As riots broke out, a sickened Blast Off headed home telling himself it had to be done.

To his dismay, Onslaught decided ''not'' to exploit the Badgeless killing as he felt it could be a Starscream plot to draw them out and so Blast Off had to come clean. This led to a new plan: the Combaticons arranged a march on the government while they waited for an opening. When [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] emerged to say he was now in charge of reforming the Badgeless and he was throwing the doors open to anyone, Onslaught and Blast Off organised a 'fight' where Blast Off would protect Ironhide, denounce Onslaught's methods, and ask to join the coppers. It worked so well, Blast Off even found [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]] offering him a new place to crash. He then checked if Onslaught was alright and was told his boss was proud of him for such a sweet con. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}

While undercover, Blast Off quickly became a star pupil of Ironhide, even becoming "good friends" with the other officers. After a while, his snooping paid off; he learned that [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] had moved Swindle's body after his death. He quickly informed Onslaught and shortly later, he and Vortex were dispatched to capture Wheeljack. They were intercepted by Chromia but used her to convince Wheeljack into coming with them. Wheeljack and Rattrap informed them that Swindle was brain dead, and Blast Off tried to make Onslaught stop as it was now pointless, but to no avail. Blast Off followed Onslaught into the inner workings of Metroplex regardless and soon they found Swindle, hooked up to life support. Rattrap then came back and gave Onslaught the Enigma of Combination, who told Blast Off that after this, they won't need anyone else ever again. {{storylink|Things We Said We'd Never Do}}

[[File:TheLineBetweenUs CombaticonsAntespace.jpg|thumb|upright=2.0|right]]
The Combaticons merged and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] was formed, Blast Off serving as the right arm. Because of the brain dead Swindle, the combiner was very unstable, leaving it up to Blast Off to try and keep everyone unified. He fought with Onslaught for control over Bruticus, saying that there is no point for this level of violence against civilians. Eventually Bruticus was stopped by Ironhide, and when the gestalt divided into its components, Blast Off apologized to Onslaught for not being able to save him before passing out. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}

Blast Off and the other Combaticons were imprisoned and awaiting trial, though Ironhide was reluctant to prosecute them if their mental scarring proved too great. {{storylink|Ping}}

[[File:ThePriceOfYou-smoochy.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.35|''Our love is a spiral Our <s>blood</s> oils are a spiral And our <s>blood</s> oils shall be exchanged!'']]
The Combaticons were still comatose when Starscream told the [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Eukarian]] [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgeon]] [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]] to turn them to his side as one of his combiners. In Blast Off's mind he woke up next to Onslaught, revealing that Blast Off had a thing for Onslaught. It was soon revealed by Starscream who was also there that this was all a dream, and that if Blast Off took his offer to help him sway the Combaticons for his side he could make this a reality. All he needed in exchange was for Blast Off to be aware of the false memories and to cover any holes in their story should the others get suspicious. Initially revolted by the idea of living a lie, Blast Off soon relented after Starscream reminded him that Onslaught would never let the past go or ever take any real interest in him. As a result, Onslaught and the others were made to believe that Onslaught's original deal with Starscream had worked out, with the Combaticons having been his secret and loyal bodyguards, and that their forming of Bruticus had been a last-ditch attempt to save Swindle's life with Starscream's approval.

Once Onslaught woke up, he saw Blast Off watching over him. He then touched Blast Off's hand, revealing Starscream kept his promise to make Onslaught notice him. {{storylink|The Price of You}} Onslaught mistook Blast Off's guilt for worry, and Blast Off assured him that he was glad things had worked out. Soon the Combaticons "resumed" their work of protecting Starscream, and Blast Off and Onslaught arranged a date. After the latter's first day "back", Starscream questioned how things were working, mocking Blast Off on how terrible things must be for him now. Blast Off claimed he had never wanted this, but Starscream retorted that he shouldn't pretend it wasn't. Frustrated, Blast Off demanded to see Swindle to make sure Starscream had kept his word to have him repaired. As Airachnid was finishing up on manipulating and repairing him, Swindle greeted his teammate, thanking Blast Off for how far he and the others had apparently gone to save him. {{storylink|If I Know You}}

Vortex and Blast Off later stood guard outside Starscream's office as Windblade confronted Starscream, and Blast Off was disturbed at Vortex's suggestions as to what was going on. During the final debate, Starscream revealed all of his crimes to the public, including the manipulation of the Combaticons. As a result, all of the Combaticons were imprisoned for their rampage as Bruticus, and because of his role in their manipulation, Blast Off was ostracized by the others, being shunned by his former lover as a bittersweet aftertaste. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

Blast Off's preferred fighting style from a distance left him isolated, easy to capture and imprison on Cybertron so the Autobots could take Bruticus out of the picture.

He was eventually reunited with the rest of the team. [[Onslaught (G1)#Prime Wars Trilogy marketing material|Onslaught]] subsequently mandated that he switch his alternate mode once again in order to stay close, so - much to Blast Off's anger - he reformatted into a fighter jet. Onslaught welcomed this new temperment because he considered his subordinate to be a more effective soldier afterwards. {{storylink|Source:Combiner Wars pack-in comic bios|Decepticon Blast Off's bio}} He was equally happy blasting Autobots from space as he was planet-side, so this anger was likely a form of [[mode attachment]]. {{storylink|#PWTSE|''Special Edition'' Decepticon Blast Off's bio}}

===''Transformers: Bumblebee Overdrive''===
[[File:BBOBlastOff.jpg|thumb|100px]]
Blast Off is featured as a boss battle in the sixteenth Decepticon base attacked and destroyed by the Autobots. He appears once the player reaches 32,300,000 points.

===''Transformers Roleplaying Game''===
Blast Off was a member of the Combaticons. {{storylink|Decepticon Directive}}

On Earth, Blast Off and the other Combaticons acted as a liaison between the Decepticons and the forces of Cobra, offering them advanced alien technology in exchange for their full cooperation. While meeting with [[Chameleon (G.I. Joe)|Chameleon]] in southern [[France]], the Autobots attacked and only narrowly escaped after Onslaught wounded Bumblebee. The Combaticons, minus Swindle, spent days pursuing the battered Autobots before bumping into a [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] encampment; leery of their advanced weapons and unable to form Bruticus, the Combaticons retreated. {{storylink|Cobra/Con Fusion}}

:''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Blast Off transforms into an {{w|Space Shuttle|International NASA Space Shuttle}}. In this mode, he is armed with two laser cannons mounted to his engines. In [[robot mode]] Blast Off is armed with a small laser pistol and his two laser cannons, which are now mounted on his legs. He usually forms Bruticus' right arm, but as a [[Fight!

:The initial release of Blast Off had a [[die-cast]] metal chest, but like several other 1986 toys, later releases replaced this with colored plastic. In [[1987]], he came packaged with a random Decepticon [[Decoy]].

His markings include his initials on his tread housings and a five-pointed star which, combined with his color scheme, gives his tank mode a somewhat Soviet feel. When combined with the other Combaticons, Blast Off is nominally Bruticus Maximus's right arm, though he can be used in any other limb position.

:He was only available as part of the ''Universe'' Bruticus Maximus [[giftset]], which also contains [[Brawl (G1)#Universe (2008)|Decepticon Brawl]], another redeco of the same sculpt used for Blast Off. The ''Universe'' version of the giftset was initially intended to be released as a [[Target]] exclusive in the United States, but ultimately ended up being only available in some non-American markets such as Australia and Singapore. Instead, American markets eventually received a [[rebranding|rebranded]] version of this giftset (with no changes to the toys themselves) in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' packaging (thereby creating a new [[live-action film series]] [[Blast Off (ROTF)|Blast Off]] character as well as a new version of the pre-existing [[Brawl (Movie)#Exclusive figures|Brawl]] character), exclusively available at Target stores in the United States and at Zellers stores in Canada.

:This sculpt was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], as well as the ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' versions of Blast Off (see [[#United|below]]) and [[Brawl (G1)#United|Brawl]].

:A [[redeco]] of Blast Off from the [[Bruticus (WFC)#Generations|Decepticon Bruticus]] gift set was available individually alongside his fellow [[Combaticon (WFC)#Toys|Combaticons]] as part of the second [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]''-themed 2012-onwards Deluxe Class ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' assortment.

Blast Off replaces the primarily tan colors and purple details of the giftset release with a mainly purple body and yellow detailing, and features new yellow paint operations on his blaster.

:Unsurprisingly for an Aligned toy inspired by Generation 1, ''Fall of Cybertron'' Blast Off appeared in many Generation 1-based stories.

:In 2016, Collection 1 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Blast Off has the biggest change of all of the remade Kreons, as his dark brown plastics have been turned to an odd greenish-tan, the same color of his pre-release prototype at [[BotCon 2012]]. His torso [[tampograph]] has also been reworked to be slightly more detailed, and the formerly-bare legs now have extra detail tampographing on them. What flat gray paint he did have has been changed to metallic silver. Also the 1x2 "roof" block has been replaced with a 1x2 bare plate, possibly due to a factory change?

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

: Released in the fifth wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxes, "Decepticon Blast Off" is a redeco of [[Slingshot (G1)#Generations|Quickslinger]], transforming from robot to what is more or less a Harrier jump jet (thematically fitting with the "Combaticon" moniker). He includes two [[5 mm post|5 mm]] weapon accessories: an "ionic blaster" (sculpted to resemble a flamethrower) and "X-ray cannons" that can also transform into a hand or a foot.

: As a ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe figure, Blast Off can also transform into an arm or a leg for a Combiner, including forming [[Bruticus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Bruticus]] with his fellow [[Combaticon (G1)#Combiner Wars|Combaticons]]. He can also form with any ''Unite Warriors'' Voyager Class figure or even into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs.

:Copies of Blast Off in monolingual English packaging include a copy of [[The End of the Beginning of the World|''Robots in Disguise'' #11]], labelled in the indicia as ''Combiner Wars'' #3. In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead. He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up at TJ Maxx at reduced prices with the collector card.

:Fascinatingly, the original lineart for Blast Off's packaging art uses the [[mouthplate]]d [[Fireflight (G1)#Combiner Wars|Firefly]] head instead!<ref>[https://kenchristiansen.com/index/transformers-packaging-art-bl7a2 "*Blastoff Combiner Wars packaging artwork. Commissioned in Partnership with Hasbro Inc.*" - the art of Ken Christiansen]</ref> The choice to use Quickslinger's head sculpt on the finished product probably has something to do with Blast Off's sort-of-visor coloring error in the Generation 1 cartoon.

:''Combiner Wars'' Special Edition Blast Off is a redeco of ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' [[Movor#Unite Warriors|Shuttler]], which in turn is a slight retool and reassembly of [[#Unite Warriors|''Unite Warriors'' Blast Off]]. This is the first release of this tooling by Hasbro, featuring a dark brown deco more accurate to his original toy as well as the toy-accurate Shuttler-style reverse chest as compared to the ''Unite Warriors'' release.

:Like Shuttler, this Blast Off features a retooled neck piece that prevents his head from falling off while handling and enlarged tabs on his legs to prevent the vehicle and arm modes from falling apart. Unlike Shuttler, however, Blast Off has his arms swapped at his shoulders' ball joints as opposed to at the bicep swivel; as a result, the protrusions on the shoulders prevents the arms from folding up in properly in arm mode. You can easily reassemble them either to fix this, or if desired, into the same configuration as the ''Unite Warriors'' release.

:As part of a trio of "Special Edition" toys celebrating the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'', he is packaged in a premium window box and includes a redeco of the [[The Fallen/toys#Combiner Wars|Megatronus]] [[Prime Master]] (sans [[Bomb-Burst (G1)#Generations|Bomb-Burst]] decoy suit) cast in translucent red plastic. Unlike the other ''Combiner Wars'' Combaticons (including his original ''Combiner Wars'' figure), his hand/foot/gun has metallic silver paint, making it stand out from the dull bare gray plastic of the others.

:He is also mildly mistransformed in the box, as his feet are unfolded into vehicle mode position and the tip of his shuttle nose isn't folded away into his backpack.

:While clearly intended to go with your ''Combiner Wars'' [[Bruticus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Bruticus]], his instructions suggest combining him with any ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Voyager class figure instead.

:Blast Off was first publicly revealed via preorder listings on [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and several Asia-based toy retailers without a prior announcement from Hasbro. This set was an Amazon exclusive in the U.S. but was available at retailers such as [[Toys"R"Us]] in Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Singapore.

:Unlike [[Repugnus (G1)#PWTSE|Repugnus]] and [[Punch (G1)#Power of the Primes|Punch-Counterpunch]], this Blast Off didn't have a Japanese release as this mold was already released two years prior.

Blast Off also comes with a newly-sculpted weapon based on his G1 blaster, as well as a new hand/foot/gun accessory that can be used to transform him into an arm or a leg compatible with any ''Unite Warriors''/''Combiner Wars'' combiner teams, or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs. In vehicle mode, his blaster pegs under his nosecone to become landing gear. The shuttle's tailfin is removed during transformation and pegged (in halves) on the robot mode's back, replicating his original character model.

: Released as part of the first 2026 wave of ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'', Combaticon Blast Off is a Deluxe Class figure that converts from Sunbow accurate robot mode (so accurate, it replicates the animation error "visor" look) to space shuttle. He comes with two blasters that can be held by his fists, mounted on his forearms, or stored beneath his wings. His vertical stabilizer comes detached in package.

: As you would expect, he combines with his fellow ''Age of the Primes'' Combaticons (or, at least, Onslaught's frame) to form [[Bruticus (G1)#Age of the Primes|Bruticus]]. As with other "frame" combiners made by Hasbro/Takara in recent years, he splits in two to serve as Bruticus's right arm, with the frame providing the joint. The rounded, uneven surface of Blast Off's roof necessitates he attach to the frame via the flatter bottom of his shuttle mode rather than the roof as his original toy and cartoon model depicted. No, he doesn't supply Bruticus' chest plate. He’s also compatible with the Superion frame included with ‘’Age of the Primes’’ Silverbolt.

==Notes==
[[File:G1OddCombat.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|]]
*Blast-Off had the working name of Countdown.
*Blast Off's odd choice of alternate mode compared to his teammates can be chalked down to the Combaticons' original wavemates, the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s, all possessing jet alternate modes. Hence, the desire to give the two airborne Combaticons unique alternate modes.
*The [[character model]]s of the Combaticons are kinda... okay, heavily made-up. Early models of the team which were a bit more accurate to the toys-except for the heads, oddly enough–have shown up in various sourcebooks, though Blast Off's is still off in some very odd ways. Blast Off's final animation model apparently mis-interpreted his forehead crest as a visor, giving him one funkily arranged face, for example.
*The packaging of the 1991 European [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] release of the original [[Onslaught (G1)#1991Classic|Onslaught]] toy depicted the Combaticons in (mostly) [[:File:EuroClassicsCombaticons.jpg|new color schemes]], despite the fact that the actual toys looked identical to their original releases. While it may never be known for certain, it has been theorized that these colors originated from a packaging printing error rather than a legitimate attempt to [[redeco]] the Combaticons.
*In the ''[[Transformers: Wings Universe|Wings Universe]]'' continuity the Combaticons are swayed to the Decepticon side by Deathsaurus appealing to their darker natures, represented by one of the Seven Deadly Sins. As noted above, Blast Off is convinced by the offer of a [[Triple Changer]] upgrade so he'd be, y'know, useful (he already has three different vehicle modes in his various toy representations that all tickle down as Blitzwing). His vice is thus Envy.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Blast Off''' (ブレストオフ ''Buresuto Ofu'',<ref>Normally, the word "blast" is rendered in katakana as ブラスト (''burasuto'')—like in [[Strongarm (Energon)|Blastarm]] or [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Broadblast]]. However, the katakana used in Blast Off's Japanese name is most decidedly ブレスト (''buresuto'')—which is usually used to render the English word "breast". This same spelling was later used to render the first part of [[Blast Master]]'s name, an unrelated shuttle character released years later. It is likely that this was simply one of the many name mistransliterations in Generation 1 that stuck.</ref> ブラストオフ ''Burasuto Ofu'')

Liliesrobots: /* Action Edition */ Tarn is hitting shelves

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|Let's face it, if they were allowed to make transforming figures then you'd never buy something from [[Hasbro]] again.]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', ''[[Evangelion]]'', ''[[Star Wars]]'', and of course, most relevant here; ''Transformers''.

Their effort within the franchise launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. This product range has expanded rapidly ever since with numerous new waves, different sublines, and the introduction of kits based around vehicles as well, with new releases for all of these dropping every few months. Known for their solid quality, high poseability and, especially; for being ''astonishingly'' cheap, Blokees' figures have been broadly well-received by collectors, resulting in the toyline earning a small cult following of sorts that one probably wouldn't expect to see around a series of ostensibly non-transforming ''Transformers'' toys.

Outside of China, these figures have seen retail distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]], as well as worldwide distribution via e-commerce sites like AliExpress and Temu. Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy-to-build entry-level model kits, ''Classic Class'' (sometimes mistakenly called "Champion Class", which only applies to human/oid characters from other franchises) offers detailed 4.5-inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing its chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its box.

As of September 30, 2025, at least three kits from "Rise of the Beasts" were discontinued in Mainland China, while global versions of the products continue to be released.

===Galaxy Version===
''Galaxy Version'' is a series of buildable 4" figures released in nine-figure blind box waves. Focusing primarily on Generation 1 (with [[Shattered Glass (disambiguation)|the]] [[2005 IDW continuity|occasional]] [[Transformers One (franchise)|detour]]), these snap-build kits are built on a standard body template, with 22 points of articulation.

Figures are shipped in cases of nine, with a fresh case containing one of each of the nine figures in the wave. A select figure in each wave also has a [[Chase figure|chase variant]] which appears in one out of every four cases, featuring extra accessories and a metallic redeco/paint job.

Wave 7 introduced additional standard points of articulation and eliminated the figure stands. The 8th wave also added new tooling on the upper thighs and the knee joints. Also, the 6th wave saw the phase out of the Autobot/Decepticon symbols.

As of September 30th, the first two Galaxy Version waves were discontinued in Mainland China, while global versions of the products continue to see release.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later.

Much like the Galaxy Version assortment, a fresh case contains one of each figure in the wave, although with Shining Version the chase variant only appears in one in ''six'' cases.

''New characters are in italics.''

New molds are in bold.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their faction symbol blocks activates their light features, so vigorous shaking is not required.

===Defender Version===
Launched in late 2024, ''Defender Version'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining much of the articulation. In addition, Defender introduces buildable alt modes with compatible accessories and ports. In some cases, these vehicle mode releases are designed to combine into a gestalt using an accessory set distributed through ''Blokees Club'' on WeChat.

A Defender Version case includes a full set of the wave's twelve figures, but unlike the other blind-box assortments, ''every'' case contains a chase variant, from a pool of four – two "Special Galaxy Type" variants with improved decos that each appear in five out of every twelve cases, and two variants which also add extra accessories, each appearing in one out of every twelve cases.

As of September 30th, 2025, the first Defender Version wave was discontinued in Mainland China, while global versions of the products continue to see release.

===Blokees Wheels===
Launched in late 2025, Blokees Wheels features buildable 1/64 scaled vehicles based on the alternate modes of various characters from other media, mainly [[IDW Publishing]]'s long-running [[2005 IDW continuity|''Transformers'' comics]].

A Blokees Wheels case contains a full set of the wave's twelve kits. Each case contains a chase variant from a pool of four: two "special" variants with translucent/alternate color schemes, appearing in five out of twelve cases, and two metallic redeco variants, each appearing in one out of twelve cases. Each chase variant also comes with translucent blue Driver Figures that can ride on the vehicles, so many of them have opening roofs.

The cars are marketed as being partially constructed from Solidex, a magnetic "2.5x density new-generation compound"<ref>{{citesocial|quote=High-Density Materials — solid and substantial, crafted with precision and rich in detail!|link=https://x.com/BlokeesOfficial/status/1987331808086679980|name=Blokees|site=Twitter|year=2025|month=11|day=09}}</ref> to evoke the feeling of die-cast cars like [[Hot Wheels]]. Some of them also come with extra accessories. The small instruction card included with each kit lists their [[Tech Spec]]s as "HP", "ATT", "SPD" and "INT".

===X Yearly Version===
Released every December starting in 2023, the ''X Yearly Version'' sets feature ''Galaxy Version'' figures slathered in delicious metallic gold paint in homage to the G1 episode [[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|"The Golden Lagoon"]]. Light up torsos and extra accessories in the vein of ''Shining Version'' are also included. 2026's Dinobot Desertion set bucked the trend a bit by instead featuring a mix of ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Defender Version'' figures in a combination of metallic gold and silver, loosely based on the iconic deco of the Dinobots.

The first set was known to suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]] in the joints. This was remedied in subsequent sets by changing the hinges to a mustardy plastic rather than gold.

==Notes==
* All pegs and peg holes are 3.4mm, which is 0.4mm larger than the regular 3mm ports/posts. This means any accessory with that peg size will be too large for Hasbro-produced ''Transformers'' with regular 3mm compatibility.
* In addition to the class types listed above, Blokees also released the "Starlight Edition" (or "Warrior Version") lineup, featuring characters that are half the size of the Galaxy/Shining Version kits and released exclusively for other franchises such as the ''Herospire'' and ''Kamen Rider'' line. To date, Blokees' ''Transformers'' line has yet to introduce this class type.

[[File:9AmalgamousPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=2|Go ahead, try and make a toy of me. I ''dare'' you.]]
'''Amalgamous Prime''' is one of the [[Thirteen]], the original Primes, who were created by [[Primus]] to battle and defeat his nemesis, [[Unicron]]. A gentle, good-natured prankster, Amalgamous Prime was the trickster of the Thirteen and the master of [[Transformation|change]]; he could instantaneously assume just about any shape he could imagine. Amalgamous's curious nature and independent mind meant that he rarely stayed in one place for very long. His equally mutable [[Scythe (Thirteen)|Scythe]] mimicked his own whimsical form, constantly changing from one shape or state of matter to another. Supposedly, he would go on to found the [[Shifter]]s, who took after his fluid and malleable nature.

==Fiction==
===Aligned continuity family===
====''The Covenant of Primus''====
Amalgamous Prime was the ninth Prime created by Primus to defeat Unicron. He possessed two [[Artifacts of the Primes|artifacts]] of power - his shapeshifting Scythe and the original [[Transformation Cog (Thirteen)|Transformation Cog]], which caused him to shift and flow constantly. In the [[Expulsion of Unicron|ensuing battle]] against Primus's archenemy, Amalgamous fought on the front lines as a warrior, and together the Thirteen saw off Unicron. In the [[Age of Primes|age of peace and rebuilding]] that followed, Amalgamous, [[Liege Maximo]], and [[Micronus Prime]] busied themselves with mining and refining [[Energon]], although personality conflicts simmered between the trio and [[Alpha Trion]], [[Prima]], and [[Vector Prime]], who Amalgamous viewed as bossy and controlling.

After the [[War of the Primes|schism]] that resulted in the deaths of [[Solus Prime]] and Liege Maximo and the self-imposed exile of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], the Primes decided to create a new generation of [[Transformer|Cybertronians]] that might follow them. Amalgamous Prime provided the imprint of his Transformation Cog to their alchemical "brew" in the [[Well of All Sparks]], so that all Cybertronians that emerged would have his gift of transformation, albeit to a lesser degree.

Amalgamous eventually left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for parts unknown, although 'bots of his archetype would occasionally demonstrate greater shape-changing abilities, arising as the [[Shifter]]s.

After Cybertron's [[Golden Age]], [[Mercury (COP)|Mercury]] and her displaced fleet of [[Neutronia]]n refugees discovered Amalgamous Prime's Transformation Cog near a [[Black hole (phenomenon)|black hole]], and took it on board. Prolonged exposure to the Cog altered their physiologies, giving them the power of unlimited shapeshifting and the ability to combine with one another into many different forms. Thus altered, these Transformers renamed themselves [[Mutacon]]s, and began searching for Amalgamous in the hopes that he could undo the change before they permanently merged into a single amorphous being. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

====''Prime'' cartoon====
[[Image:OneShallRise1-WellofAllSparks.jpg|thumb|250px|left|The crackly box-thing in the top left.]]

According to legend, at the beginning of time, [[Unicron#Aligned continuity family|Unicron]] and [[Primus]] battled each other for eons, with neither side remaining victorious for long. Till, that is, Primus created the [[Thirteen]]. These Thirteen defeated Unicron and cast him into space. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}

====Aligned novels====
Among the Thirteen, Amalgamous Prime's talent for change was rivaled only by [[Nexus Prime]]. While Nexus excelled in combination, separation, and alt-forms, though, Amalgamous Prime could alter his shape itself, assuming any appearance he desired. Impatient and perhaps selfish, Amalgamous expressed his distaste to [[Solus Prime]] when she dedicated so much of her time to the creation of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]'s [[Requiem Blaster (Thirteen)|Requiem Blaster]]. Amalgamous Prime's fate after the betrayal of Megatronus and the plotting of [[Liege Maximo]] remained unknown. Only [[Alpha Trion]] and [[Maccadam|Alchemist Prime]] remained on Cybertron as the planet's civilization developed, but legend has it that Amalgamous may have returned at a later date, and the rarely seen modern Transformers known as "[[Shifter]]s" are somehow descended from him. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}
{{--}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
During the time that the Thirteen of the [[multiverse]] existed as [[multiversal singularity|singularities]], Vector Prime recounted in his [[Ask Vector Prime|ANN column]] how Amalgamous and four of his siblings ended up in the [[Realm of the Primes]] following the dissolution of the Thirteen. When Vector Prime (who had self-induced amnesia in order to protect the location of [[Nexus Prime]]'s components) ended up in the Realm of the Primes during his campaign against [[Mogahn the Mass]], Vector's siblings unlocked his memories as [[Primus]]'s appointed guardian of space and time. Vector Prime then returned to normal space and wrested away Mogahn's [[Cyber Caliber]]. Using Amalgamous's gift, Vector reformatted the blade into [[Rhisling]] and vanquished Mogahn, sending the Mass back in time and thus causing the Big Bang.

Vector's audience was confused by this account, however, as Amalgamous was not known to be a member of the Thirteen outside of the [[Uniend|Uniend Cluster]], and moreover, Vector had claimed that he used to go by the name "[[Adaptus]]", who readers understood to be a separate entity from another universe. The distressed Vector realized that he was somehow conflating memories from different universes into one (in actuality, a portent of the coming [[Shroud]] that would eradicate the Thirteen's singularity nature), making it hard to know whether Amalgamous was truly part of the events he had described or not. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/12}}

[[File:OP18 Thirteen in Crystal City.jpg|thumb|375px|I'm the guy on the right. I'll bet you thought that was my thigh.]]

Amalgamous was one of the Thirteen Primes who led the [[Thirteen Tribes]] that arose on Cybertron following the departure of the [[Knights of Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} {{storylink|Origin Myths}} Along with four others, he later joined the [[Crystal City]] alliance creating the Thirteen [[Prime (rank)|Primes]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} The death of [[Nexus Prime]] at the hands of [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] prompted all the remaining Primes except [[Alpha Trion]] to flee Cybertron. Eons later, [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]] would send one of his [[Regenesis]] ores, [[Ore-9]], to [[Velocitron]], {{storylink|The Crucible}} {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|The Hallowing}} which had been settled in eons past by Amalagamous's affiliated Titan [[Navitas]]. {{storylink|Ceremony|The Lost Colonies of Cybertron}}

In the modern day, Amalgamous Prime's name was remembered in the [[Way of Flame]], the religion of [[Solus Prime]]'s colony [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}}

===''Power of the Primes'' marketing material===
Amalgamous Prime's [[Spark]] passed into the possession of one of the twelve [[Prime Master]]s; hidden within a suit of decoy armor, they safeguarded the abilities of the Primes until the present day. By uniting with a larger Transformer, the Prime Master could channel the powers of Amalgamous's Spark and grant them unique abilities that varied with each new partner. {{storylink|Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes}}

[[File:TransformersOne-AmalgamousLiegeMaximoholograms.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|I'm on the left! So they say.]]
Amalgamous Prime and the other twelve Primes were created by [[Primus]] at the dawn of Cybertron, and they ruled Cybertron benevolently through its Golden Age. When a war with the Quintessons threw the planet into a protracted, violent conflict, the Primes' secretary, [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel Prime]], herded the [[Thirteen]] into a Quintesson ambush within [[Mouth of Unicron|a remote cave]]. Amalgamous would be killed during the battle, with his brothers' and sisters' bodies resting in the cave for fifty cycles before being rediscovered by miners [[Optimus Prime (One)|Orion Pax]], [[Megatron (One)|D-16]], [[Elita-1 (One)|Elita]], and [[Bumblebee (One)|B-127]].

A vision of Amalgamous Prime and the other Primes later appeared as Alpha Trion declared a damaged Orion Pax to be the next wielder of the Matrix of Leadership, Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Transformers One (film)|Transformers One}}

The [[Titan Master]]-like robot can store inside decoy armor or ride [[Size class|Legends Class]] figures in vehicle mode, and is fully compatible with toys from the previous ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' line.

: Released as part of the first 2026 wave of ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' Voyager Class toys (fourth wave overall), Amalgamous Prime is modeled after a blend of his designs from the ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|Covenant of Primus]]'' and ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'', nominally forming a hunchbacked, four-armed robot. His unusual posture means he's packaged a bit strangely to fit in the box, and needs a little reconfiguration once removed from the cardboard backing.

: While his primary alternate mode is a somewhat frog-like spider-tank, the figure's main event is a version of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' "[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]"-style gimmick befitting his "multi-mode shapeshifter" nature: his limbs and head are detachable, featuring not only numerous [[5 mm post]]s and sockets (as well as some smaller post/tab/socket combos), but also micro-vehicle [[kibble]] and sculped [[cockpit]]s. These pieces can be re-arranged to form alternate configurations and separate mini-vehicles, or weapons and armor for other figures. The instructions show five different part combinations: a mini-train made from the forward pair of forearms, a mini-jet formed from the rear set of winged forearms, two different mini-fighters made from the forearms attached to the two finned... thrusters?... above his robot-mode shoulders, and a mini-tank centered around his Scythe as a cannon.

: As you probably assumed, Amalgamous lends himself well to [[fan mode]]s, such as a more humanoid robot mode and a pretty convincing recreation of his ''Transformers: One'' design.

: He comes with three [[Artifacts of the Primes|Artifact]]s: two variants of his signature [[Transformation Cog (Thirteen)#Age of the Primes|T-Cog]], and his [[Scythe (Thirteen)#Age of the Primes|Scythe]]. One T-cog, modeled after the one seen in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]] episode "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1]]", stores away inside his head, with the post forming the pupil of his mono-eye. It is also the only artifact of the three marked with Amalgamous’s signal. The other cog, based on the T-cogs seen in ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'', has a 5 mm socket and can be stored on the end of his scythe-handle; yes, you can combo the two cogs if you're feeling frisky. The Scythe forms a gun turret in both of his suggested tank modes, plus the blaster back-end is able to detach and be used elsewhere.

[[File:MTMTEBrawl.jpg|upright=2.4|thumb|"I wouldn't need the pistol, but I don't wanna have to bend over to aim..."]]

If '''Brawl'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s on the battlefield and you can't hear him coming, it's time to check your audio receptors, because chances are you've gone deaf. Brawl's main distinguishing characteristic is '''VOLUME'''. No matter if he's talking (yelling), moving (clanking and rattling), or fighting (yelling, clanking, rattling, and blasting) you're sure to hear him doing it, as is anyone else in the county. As if that wasn't enough, he is also a ball of barely contained rage and violence with a hair-trigger temper. This makes even his comrades wary, but it does make him a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield... as long as the mission doesn't require stealth. Or zero casualties.

Brawl combines with his fellow Combaticons to form [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]].

[[File:StarscreamsBrigade Starscream Brawl.jpg|thumb|"It's YOUR fault I'm not more toy-accurate!"]]
Brawl was one of the five [[renegade Decepticon]]s liberated by [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] in the Air Commander's latest attempt to unseat [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. As an element of their imprisonment, they had been reduced to mere [[personality component]]s, so Starscream installed them into abandoned [[World War II]] military vehicles. The transplant caused the vehicles to immediately reconfigure themselves: Brawl in particular went from being an {{w|M4 Sherman}} tank<ref>"Starscream's Brigade" shooting script</ref> to being a... different tank, before turning into a robot. Starscream called them "Combaticons" and announced their names as they transformed, but they didn't recognize him. Nor did they feel particularly indebted to him for their release; Brawl even threatened to pound him into scrap for no apparent reason. In the end, Starscream only guaranteed their loyalty through having given them bodies bereft of [[energy absorber]]s, so they would be dependent upon him to refuel. While their first missions for Starscream were initially successful, the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]]' intervention meant the brigade's defeat, and Megatron exiled all six to a remote asteroid. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

[[File:RevengeBruticus BlastOff Brawl.jpg|left|thumb]]
The Combaticons managed to tow the asteroid to Cybertron and evict [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. Brawl would have preferred just to shoot the hell out of the Decepticons and [[Earth]], but [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] managed to rig the [[space bridge]] to drag Earth into the sun. However, the Combaticons were later attacked by mysterious aggressors. Although the Combaticons were confused by their appearance, Brawl figured that they should just annihilate them. As it turned out, the aggressors were holograms created by Starscream and Shockwave, whom the Combaticons captured. Once Megatron, as well as the [[Autobot]]s, arrived, the Combaticons merged into Bruticus, but [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] deactivated him. The Combaticons were then reprogrammed to serve Megatron. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

During a Decepticon operation in the [[Middle East]], Brawl and the Combaticons attempted to ambush the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] in a canyon, but were driven off. Later, Brawl provided ground support against the Aerialbots and merged with his comrades into Bruticus to take on [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], but the Decepticons were again defeated. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}}

[[File:BOT RepairingBrawl.jpg|right|thumb|Only a fierce backrub could cure Brawl's rage. Megatron happily loaned out Soundwave for a few hours just to get some peace and quiet.]]
When Onslaught ordered the Combaticons to transform in a street, [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] knocked into Brawl, who in turn made his displeasure very vocal. They then transformed into Bruticus, who was immediately shot to pieces by [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. Swindle was the sole survivor, and he sold his partners' deactivated forms to various humans such as [[El Presidente]]. Under threat of death by Megatron, Swindle stole back the parts of his unit. However, he was unable to find Brawl's personality component, leaving Brawl a silent shell requiring to be guided over to the rest of the group when ordered to form Bruticus. It turned out that the Combaticons couldn't merge at all without that particular piece of technology, much to Megatron's dismay. Swindle was sent out to retrieve the personality component, which had been used by [[Martin and Roland|some]] [[Elise Presser|kids]] to build [[B.O.T. (G1)|a robot]] for a school project. Of course, this made the robot extremely violent, and it destroyed the school lab and fought some Autobots before Swindle found it and recovered the component. This whole ordeal does pose a question: why does Bruticus depend on the personality component of a loud, homicidal maniac to form? {{storylink|B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.}}

By [[2005]], the energy-starved Decepticons had taken refuge on the planet [[Chaar]] and were approached by the [[Quintesson]]s, who provided them with energon in exchange for attacking the Autobots on [[Goo Number 8739-B|Goo]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} Brawl was among those troops that later traveled to Earth to stop the Autobots from delivering a new [[Transformation cog (biology)|transformation cog]] to [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], but they ultimately failed. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

[[File:FightorFlee RazorclawBrawl.jpg|left|thumb|This makes perfect sense in context. Really.]]
During the Decepticon attack on [[Paradron]], Brawl teamed up with [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] to capture [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]], and together they managed to make him fall off a bridge. Later, he manned a [[molecular cannon]] alongside [[Headstrong (G1)|Headstrong]], but the cannon was destroyed in an Autobot attack. At the same time, Brawl was ''also'' part of Bruticus, who was accompanying [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} Some time later, the Combaticons were sent by Galvatron to assassinate the Decepticon exile [[Octane]]. Because bringing Brawl along when you need to sneak up on someone is a good idea. {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}}

The Combaticons later performed a hit-and-run attack on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in order to mess up an upcoming peace conference. Brawl got a good shot at [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] in the ensuing battle, but [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] jumped in and took the blast. {{storylink|Surprise Party}} Brawl was part of Galvatron's surprise attack on the Autobots in the [[Netherlands]]. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}} As part of Bruticus, Brawl took on Defensor in [[Japan]], but the Combaticons were forced to separate and scatter when [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lnyx]] arrived on the scene. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

[[File:ReturnOfOptimusPrime1 BrawlHeadstrong.jpg|right|thumb|oh no brawl's become angry and violent]]
When the [[Hate Plague]] was brought to Earth, the Combaticons were infected by the disease when Bruticus was (rather ineffectively) punched by an infected Ultra Magnus. Bruticus apparently split apart later on, as Brawl was seen rampaging through a human marketplace, crushing various stands beneath his tracks. Soon afterwards he infected Headstrong. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

During a Decepticon invasion of Cybertron, the Combaticons were tasked with installing a giant rocket engine on the planet. Brawl then helped transport defeated Autobots to it, intending on removing their [[power pack]]s to fuel the engine. The Combaticons later held Optimus Prime and a group of Autobots at gunpoint, but were suddenly caught in the middle of a battle between [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

However, Scramble City itself soon drove up and blasted both combiners into the distance. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

However, Superion blasted Brawl and Swindle away with his [[electrostatic discharger rifle]], allowing [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] and [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] to steal their places as Bruticus's legs and fly away with him. Brawl followed them, meagerly yelling for his enemies to wait up. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 5|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #5}}

The Combaticons were later sent to hunt down an escaped [[Battle Dog|puppy]] that Megatron had experimented on. Brawl was pretty happy when he got a few shots in on the fleeing animal, but was reprimanded by [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] as they were supposed to capture it alive. [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] soon showed up to save the dog, and using its energy, he and the [[Mini-Vehicle]]s defeated the Combaticons. {{storylink|Fight!

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 Bruticus 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}}

[[File:EliteGuardCombaticons TheComingStorm2.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.8]]
Brawl was part of an Autobot [[Elite Guard]] special ops unit created by [[Magnum]] to take out the various [[Decepticon Warlord|leaders]] of the new Decepticon faction, in the hopes of ending the war quickly. He was assigned to the "Combaticons" as their Ground Assault specialist. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 2}}

Before they could get started on their primary mission, however, the [[Autobot High Council]] had a more...diplomatic mission for the Elite Guard. Teamed with their fellow squad, [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]]'s Strike Team, Brawl and the Combaticons were to make contact with an archeological team heralded by [[Alpha Trion]] as responsible for one of the greatest finds of recent history. Brawl had little interest in the old bot's preaching, and he spent the mission briefing drawing little cartoon bombs and explosions on the sheet in front of him. When the Councilbot started talking about demolition work, though, Brawl suddenly became more interested in the job.

Out at [[Median]], they found the mission was even more complicated than Alpha Trion let on. Dig coordinator [[Flip Sides (G1)|Flipsides]] explained how they had uncovered a massively powerful artifact known as the [[Heart of the Dragon]], and the Decepticons had already become aware of it. Brawl and the Elite Guard began fortifying the town to [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]]'s specifications to resist attack. Although he preferred DEstruction over CONstruction, Brawl still got to make a lot of noise setting up the barricades, so he enjoyed the work immensely. When [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] of the Strike Team commented how he sometimes missed his truck mode after seeing Brawl in action, the gruff Combaticon laid out his credo for life: ''Reformatting's for wimps.'' Oh, and ''"Aim for the mouth, so's you don't have to talk to them."'' One bot, many credos.

When the attack came, Brawl operated on the second line of defense with Onslaught, [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] and the Strike Team's weaponry expert, [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]]. Once the Decepticon [[Stormtrooper (G1)|Stormtrooper]]s made it through the first line, however, it became a game of cybercat and ironmouse, as the 'Cons split up and used sensor ghosts to send the Elite Guard chasing their tails. By the time Brawl even got a clean shot at one of 'em, the Decepticons had already secured their objective and were speeding back to base.

The Elite Guard pursued them and managed to infiltrate the Stormtroopers' transforming mobile fortress, the [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]]. They were forced to confront [[Brimstone (G1 Decepticon)|Brimstone]], a tiny but powerful Transformer brought to life by the Heart of the Dragon. His fiery breath decoupled molecules, sending even Brawl scurrying for cover. Despite said scurrying, Brawl was uncomfortable with leaving Brimstone to burn himself out like the turncoat Stormtrooper [[Drench (G1)|Drench]] suggested. One can only hope the massive explosion that consumed Brimstone and leveled the Metrotitan was enough to satisfy Brawl's battlelust. {{storylink|Flames of Yesterday}}

Over the following weeks, the Combaticons and Strike Team continued working together on co-assigned missions against the Decepticon hierarchy. Although they bonded on a personal level, the Combaticons were aware Metalhawk's team was a bit more...squeamish about the duties of war than they were. When they captured a [[Warrior|Decepticon cubeformer soldier]], for instance, Brawl tortured the unwilling informant away from the Strike Team to get the information they needed, and Onslaught concocted a story about a suicide implant to explain the Con's demise. After successfully assassinating Decepticon field leader [[Shadowcaster]], the Combaticons remained in the field to search for more information. They got more than they bargained for and were captured by [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]'s forces. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 3}}

Brawl and the Combaticons were isolated behind Oan energy bars, although Brawl was stubborn enough to constantly try and force his way past the unbreakable bars, until his exo-structure was smoldering with the feedback. They were brought before Deathsaurus, who slyly began to manipulate the Special Ops Team into becoming true "Combaticons" under the Decepticon banner. A personal touch was added to sway every Combaticon, but for Brawl he needed to do little more than suggest he ''needed'' help from the Elite Guard in order to fight. That was all it took to make Brawl determined to destroy the Elite Guard just to prove Deathsaurus wrong. Brawl...not very bright. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 4}}

The Combaticons led an assault on Elite Guard headquarters with Deathsaurus's forces and unveiled the modifications their new commander had fitted them with: combination technology to form the big, bad, battlin' [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]! {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 5}} Bruticus managed to slaughter pretty much all of the Guard before [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] blinded the giant, forcing them to separate. They headed back to Deathsaurus's base for repairs. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 6}}

Repairs proceeded, but the Combaticons were startled to learn that Deathsaurus could force them to combine into Bruticus at will. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 1}} {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 2}} They still turned out to help defend the base against the remnants of the Elite Guard. Brawl started bashing [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] around, and finally the moment he'd been waiting impatiently for came — the Combaticons began to merge... and were promptly blasted. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 3}} When it turned out they'd been blasted by more survivors of the Elite Guard massacre, Brawl announced they'd have to have another go at killing them all, but sadly Blast Off was indisposed, so they couldn't form Bruticus. During the end of the battle retreat, Brawl pointed out that Blast Off was still missing, and it delayed the team long enough for the Elite Guard to capture them. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 4}}

In the hands of the compromised [[Gyronian Sentry|Gyronian Sentry Team]], the Combaticons were whisked away to Deathsaurus's fortress, now under Megatron's control. Though Megatron gave them the option, none of them cared to help Deathsaurus, and they were imprisoned and their personality components subsequently interred in the Decepticon Detention Center. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}}

In order to process the information his subconscious was feeding him, Buster linked his mind with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], so that the next dream came through far clearer than the previous ones. Together, they saw into the near future, where Brawl and the Combaticons encountered the Autobots at the [[Pullen Power Plant]]. Here, the Combaticons joined forces with the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] against their Autobot counterparts, the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]].

Thanks to [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s hacking skills, however, [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] also saw the visions and began working on their own Special Teams.'' {{storylink|The Special Teams Have Arrived}} {{storylink|Second Generation!}}

[[File:Swindle brawl afterdeath.jpg|thumb|left]]
On his first mission on Earth, Brawl was sent with the Combaticons and [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] to steal a [[hydrothermocline]] device from [[Energy Futures Industries]]. When they arrived, they were met by Optimus Prime and the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], laying in wait for them. Brawl combined with his team to form Bruticus, but before the giant got a chance to brawl with [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]], [[Ethan Zachary|a human]] suggested that they'd play a [[Multi-World|video game]] over the plant instead. Optimus Prime and Megatron both agreed, and Brawl was sent into the video game along with the other Combaticons, Protectobots, and faction leaders. Brawl teamed up with [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] to destroy [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] in the "Vineland" area of the game. However, they were tripped up by a bunch of vine creatures, [[Decrystallizer cannon|crystallized]], and blown to smithereens.

[[File:GonebutNotForgotten Brawlheadcrush.JPG|thumb|"MEGATRON... PLEASE, NO!! I... CAN'T BREA... WAIT!! I... HAVE A... MOU..." *krunnk*]]
Unluckily for him, Brawl learned nothing about caution from this experience. A few days later, he mouthed off at Megatron, telling him to get over the fact that Optimus Prime had died by someone else's hands. Megatron proceeded to pop Brawl's head like a ripe melon and throw his deactivated body into a wall. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}}

''He got better. On a later mission, Soundwave and the Combaticons were commissioned with destroying the inactive super-Decepticon known as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], who had been trapped inside the lava flow of an active volcano, preserving him like a fly in amber. Shockwave, who had been commanding the Combaticons ever since Megatron was believed dead in a [[space bridge]] accident, nevertheless saw Galvatron as a potential threat to his command, and wanted him eliminated permanently. Vortex and the others were to set up explosive charges around the mouth, burying the future warrior forever. Their plans were waylaid by a group of human females, who used up most of the explosives against the Combaticons. The Decepticons were then forced to retreat once [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and the [[Throttlebot]]s arrived to back-up the humans, but they swore vengeance for the interference.'' {{storylink|Ladies' Night (issue)|Ladies' Night}}

[[File:Brawl first aid used autobots.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2]]
After chasing the Throttlebots around, the Combaticons eventually attacked them in a car lot, and Brawl got into another fight with the Protectobots as they arrived on the scene. Blaster stopped him from shooting [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] in the back, and the Combaticons were eventually forced to retreat. {{storylink|Used Autobots}} Shortly afterwards, the group decided to ambush the Protectobots on their way to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. They failed to take the Autobots completely by surprise as Hot Spot recognized Brawl's tank tracks on the ground, and the ensuing battle quickly led to the groups combining. Bruticus claimed victory over Defensor with his brute strength, but was soon tricked and broken into his component parts by Blaster. {{storylink|Child's Play (issue)|Child's Play}}

''Eventually, the Combaticons fell under the command of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. On his orders, Brawl's team staged a raid on the [[Rutter U.S. Military Base]]. There, they secured two armed warheads and components from an advanced guidance computer. The Protectobots intervened part-way through the theft, but once Blast Off cleared the area with the loot, the rest of the team used hit-and-run tactics to fend their rivals off, eventually managing their own getaway.''

''Afterwards, the remaining Combaticons went to check on [[Darkwing (G1)|Darkwing]] and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]]'s progress at [[Alternate Reality, Inc.]], where Scorponok had likewise tasked them to steal a [[floppy disk]] containing a back-up copy of Optimus Prime's mind. They found [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] about to shoot the jets out of the sky, and blasted the Combiner in the back, crippling him before he could pull the trigger.

Brawl and the rest of the Combaticons were created by Starscream on a remote Pacific island, by combining military vehicles with Energon cubes. They then drove to the [[Pullen Power Plant]], passing Optimus Prime en route, though the Autobot leader was none-the-wiser to the Decepticons in disguise.

After the Autobots crash-landed on planet [[Barrenikon]], the Decepticons landed their ship nearby to finish off their enemies. In the many possible adventures that followed, Brawl and the other Decepticons often underestimated you, which often led to them losing to the Autobots, leaving them either stranded on Barrenikon, or fleeing after they received too much damage.

Brawl participated in [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s siege on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] {{storylink|The War Within issue 2|The War Within #2}} and, upon arrival, quickly shifted to his tank mode to rain down firepower onto the Autobot stronghold. {{storylink|The War Within issue 3|The War Within #3}} He was joined by fellow heavy-artillery 'bots, [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] and [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] in his assault. {{storylink|The War Within issue 4|The War Within #4}} Brawl was on the front lines of the Decepticon army when they finally managed to penetrate the last of the Autobots' defenses. {{storylink|The War Within issue 5|The War Within #5}}

During the Dark Ages, when Optimus Prime and Megatron both disappeared into a prototype space-bridge, both factions splintered into several sub-groups. During this time, footage of Brawl's part in the Iacon attack was reviewed by Prowl in preparation for attacks on multiple fronts. {{storylink|Fragmentation (G1)|Fragmentation}} As part of a combiner group, Brawl's actions were somewhat limited by the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]]; it is unknown how he occupied his time while the Accord was in place. {{storylink|Devastation (issue)|Devastation}}

Millions of years later, the Combaticons were considered war criminals and held in the detention blocks on Cybertron. {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}} Starscream arranged to have them released and brought to Earth as his own private brigade, absconding from Cybertron as Shockwave's regime was being overthrown by the Autobots. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

Returning to the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' via an uncooperative [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], Starscream realized he needed to take parts from the Autobots' [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] if he ever hoped to get the ''Nemesis'' flying again, and for that he needed considerable firepower. Fortunately, there was a nearby abandoned military testing ground from which the Combaticons could scan Earth-based alternate modes. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} When the attack on the ''Ark'' was launched, the Autobots had little problem defending against the first wave, successfully capturing [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], but several of the Autobots were soundly beaten when the Combaticons showed up and combined into the mighty Bruticus. The behemoth attacked the ''Ark'' freeing his Decepticon compatriots before going after [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]. Unfortunately, the Autobots activated their ship's self-destruct before escaping, damaging the Combaticons in the resulting explosion. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}}

Damaged or not, the Combaticons soon had to face a powerful enemy when the crazed zealot [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] appeared on Earth, but before they could attack him, Bruticus' head was blown apart by [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] in the Autobot supply ship ''[[Orion]]''. In the aftermath, Bruticus's barely-conscious body was battered upon by an angry Brawn. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} Starscream was forced into an alliance with the Autobots to save his neck, and the Combaticons were partially recharged as released as part of the arrangement. {{storylink|Skyfire (issue)|Skyfire}}

[[File:Onslaught G1DW routeofallevil.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

The repaired Combaticons were brought to Guadalcanal where they could hone their somewhat lackluster combat skills and listen to Starscream's long-winded aspirations of glory. When Swindle commented on Starscream's mental state, Brawl agreed, stating that he'd like to pull the Air Commander's cerebro circuits straight out of his faceplate so they could get a better look at them. Starscream overheard their conversation, but let it pass in order for them to fight the magnificent Autobot [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]. Unfortunately, the Combaticons did not fare well when the crafty Autobot split into his two forms, with Brawl and Onslaught nearly crushed by the Lynx's right paw.

This was the least of their troubles, however, as [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] showed up as soon as Sky Lynx was deactivated. This encounter also did not end well. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

Early in the war, Brawl defended the [[Citadel (building)|Citadel]] from the Autobots as part of Blitzwing's unit and was ordered with [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] and [[Skullgrin]] to contain the Autobot forces. He got crushed by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobots]] soon after the order. {{storylink|Endgame}} Together with the other Combaticons he left Cybertron rather than suffer [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s leadership, and they made their way to the [[Presidium (planet)|Presidium]] to steal a weapons cache for their own use.

Brawl was a member of the Combaticon tactical unit under the command of [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]]'s [[Decepticon Secret Service]] and helped capture the [[Pretender Monster|"gestalt" transformers]] being held in the [[Garrus-9]] detention facility. He loved killing things: "''We aim to maim!''" Presumably, he was not particularly keen on being maimed himself, as he was impaled by [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]]'s twin saber blades. {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}}

After a deal was negotiated between Arcee and Banzai-Tron, Brawl and the other Combaticons later helped her in an attempt to recapture [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] (who had been stolen by [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] and [[Nova Prime|Nemesis Prime's]] forces), though the insane Autobot disappeared mid-battle. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

Years later, most of the Combaticons were left stranded and energon-less on Earth following a failed invasion. They were hired by [[North Korea]]n leader [[Kim Jong Du]] to lead an attack on the [[South Korea|South]]. Brawl, Onslaught and Vortex destroyed a South Korean outpost on the border of the DMZ to this end. {{storylink|International Incident Part 1: "The Land Ironclads"|The Land Ironclads}} They chafed under Kim's leadership, but unlike them, the Koreans knew how to produce [[energon]], so they had no choice but to obey. Inevitably, the Autobots showed up to stop the Combaticons from getting involved with human conflicts, but were forced to stay in their vehicle modes for the battle. Car modes and [[Skywatch]] [[crash suit]]s were hardly a match for a tank like Brawl, and the Combaticons got away. {{storylink|International Incident Part 2: "Ranks of Bronze"|Ranks of Bronze}}

While Brawl and his teammates were celebrating their victory, the Autobots returned, and this time they had no problems with transforming. Without exclusive access to robot modes, the Combaticons were outnumbered, with Brawl having to deal with [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jazz]] and [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] simultaneously. {{storylink|International Incident Part 3: "Hawk Among the Sparrows"|Hawk Among the Sparrows}} He soon found himself defeated and tied up whilst the Autobots dealt with both the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] and a [[Russia]]n [[Nuclear weapon|nuke]] sent to wipe them all out. While they made sure to destroy the North Korean energon facilities, the Autobots couldn't take prisoners at the time, and so the Combaticons were presumably set free. {{storylink|International Incident Part 4: "All My Sins Remembered"|All My Sins Remembered}}

[[File:Only Forward Brawl tortured.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right]]
Several months later, Brawl and [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] attacked Prowl as he investigated some sensitive issues. He wasn't worried when [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] came to Prowl's rescue, since the Autobots could never penetrate his armor plating in tank mode, but was defeated and captured after Prowl fired a shot straight through his barrel. Stuck in a state of mid-transformation, he was brought to the Autobot base and interrogated as to who sent him. Brawl insisted that it was all him, but when pressed for information, a failsafe installed in his body by Swindle activated and fused the Autobots' [[Suppressor (device)|suppressors]] to his neural net, sending him into nigh-[[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Police Action Part 2: Only Forward|Only Forward}} {{storylink|Police Action Part 3: A Second Chance at Eden|A Second Chance at Eden}}

Brawl was eventually cured and brought home to a reformatted Cybertron, where he was brought by Starscream with a bunch of other Cybertronians to pressure Prowl into revealing one of his secret discoveries below ground. Later underground, they witnessed a [[Titan (group)|Titan]] declare that Starscream was the Cybertronian destined to unite their whole race. He and the other Cybertronians celebrated afterwards with Starscream. {{storylink|Primus: All Good Things}} When Megatron returned from a long absence only to be captured by the Autobots, Brawl and the other Decepticons started a riot and assaulted the Autobot prison, rescuing him. {{storylink|The Verge}}

In the wake of Megatron's defection to the Autobots, [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] took command of the Decepticons and led them back to Earth, where they formed an alliance with [[Earth Defense Command]] against the Autobots. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 1: Hello Cruel World|Hello Cruel World}} Once [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s arrived with a team of Autobots, Brawl and the others confronted them at the town of [[Poverty Flat]], passing themselves off as United States military vehicles to the locals. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 2: Detonation Boulevard|Detonation Boulevard}} This attempt at secrecy was foiled when the Autobots brought in a defected [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], forcing the EDC to teleport the Decepticons out of there. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}} The Decepticons clashed with the Autobots again at the EDC's [[Marshall Islands|Bikini Atoll]] base in a battle that ended with massive damage to their [[Nemesis (G1)|ship]]. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 5: I Dream of Wires|I Dream of Wires}}

[[File:SouthOfHeaven-BrawlLaserbeakBuzzsaw.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8|Brawl's secret love for the song "I'm Like A Bird" is revealed.]]
Brawl joined Soundwave's group in visiting the satellite commune that the humans were building for them near Jupiter, but found himself the source of many of [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]]'s jokes due to his unease floating around in zero-gravity. {{storylink|South of Heaven}} He took a shuttle back to Cybertron with [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] to make contact with the disgruntled Decepticons and teamed up with [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]], and proceeded to whip up anger and intimidate Camien evangelists. Brawl told Dreadwing that Galvatron was the leader they should've ''always'' had, but during a bar conversation with their new ally, Brawl found himself increasingly angry that Needlenose kept talking about negotiations, soft power, and communes. He overturned their table and got cheers from the crowd as he yelled that the Decepticons should just ''take'' "what is ours", from equality to whole planets. (Then, being a dick, he asked Needlenose to buy replacements for the drinks he'd just spilled.) {{storylink|The Transgressors}}

Remaining on Cybertron, Brawl started hanging out with his fellow Combaticon teammates again as they stewed over Starscream's leadership and his attempts to sweep the past aside. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} On [[Chosen One Day]], Brawl and the guys bought Onslaught a brand new grenade to show him they cared. {{storylink|Choose Me}}

[[File:Perihelion-BrawlShoulderTackleArcee.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.8|That's for [[:File:Spotlight Arcee Arcee hits Brawl.jpg|THIS]]!!!!]]
Following a Decepticon rally, Brawl and his fellow Galvatron loyalists approached Starscream about getting unfettered access to the space bridge for their people. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 1: Aphelion|Aphelion}} That night, they led a Decepticon march through Iacon Spaceport 1. After blasting Needlenose's interfering brother [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], Brawl and the other Decepticons used the bridge to travel to the ''Ark-7'', where they confronted the Autobots trapped inside Blackrock's force field. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} Brawl battered Arcee into shutdown, then walked into the captured bridge and casually shot the defeated [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]. Then he cut into Needlenose's call to Soundwave and explained the ''real'' reason for all this: Galvatron wanted them to invade Earth and all that "peace" and "alliances" talk was bunk. The ''Ark-7'' was crashed into [[Shanghai]] and the Decepticons all fell into line with Galvatron, with Brawl cheerily telling Needlenose he was glad the guy hadn't gone soft after all. NOW LET'S KILL SOME HUMANS!

When the Autobots abruptly arrived {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} Brawl ecstatically threw himself into the fray. However, the [[Earth Defense Command]]'s "[[mindbomb]]" felled him within the first minute, the [[People's Liberation Army Mecha Force|Chinese Mecha Force]] began tearing through the Decepticons, and all his team either fled to Soundwave or, in Galvatron's case, teleported out. Brawl was taken through the space bridge by [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]], but began fighting his way through the Autobots in a panic and reignited the fight at the other end. Barely surviving an attack by Devastator, he was able to slip away. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}}

While Onslaught was busy trying to find Swindle's body, Vortex and Brawl took several odd jobs to pay for their home and Engex. He showed particular annoyance when Blast Off went out as well, given that their client was found by Blast Off. {{storylink|07:00:00}} During the riots, Vortex and Brawl took Engex bets on whether or not Blast Off was alive; Vortex won the bet and added that today was a good day for the Combaticons as a whole. When Onslaught took Blast Off for debriefing, Vortex threatened that he and Brawl would go on without them, though it proved just to be hot air. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}

[[File:TheLineBetweenUs CombaticonsAntespace.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]
When Blast Off eventually found the location of Swindle's body, he and Onslaught went after Rattrap. They soon met up with Blast Off and Vortex, who had learned from Wheeljack that Swindle was brain dead and his body was being held deep inside Metroplex. After being led to Swindle, {{storylink|Things We Said We'd Never Do}} Onslaught used the [[Enigma of Combination]] to fuse all of the Combaticons into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. However, due to Swindle's brain dead mind, Bruticus was incredibly unstable, and Brawl initially panicked from Swindle's pain of being shot. Regardless, Brawl, Vortex and Onslaught all began reveling in their new-found power despite Blast Off's reservation regarding their actions. Soon the gestalt was defeated, and Brawl passed out on the pavement. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}

Brawl and the other Combaticons were imprisoned and awaiting trial, though Ironhide was reluctant to prosecute them if their mental scarring proved too great. {{storylink|Ping}} The Combaticons were still comatose when Starscream told the [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Eukarian]] [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgeon]] [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]] to turn them to his side as one of his combiners. Because the Combaticons' minds had imprinted on each other during their combination, Airachnid found them more susceptible to the process, and thus had them believe that they had always been working for Starscream, using the aware-of-the-manipulation Blast Off to cover any holes in the story. As a result, Brawl and the others were made to believe that they had been Starscream's secret and loyal bodyguards, and that their forming of Bruticus had been a last-ditch attempt to save Swindle's life with Starscream's approval. {{storylink|The Price of You}} Soon the Combaticons "resumed" their work of protecting Starscream, and on Onslaught's first day back Brawl prepared to take the night shift. {{storylink|If I Know You}}

[[File:TAAO Annual Brawl Fears.jpg|right|220px|thumb|Brawl singlehandedly doubles his character development within a single page.]]
Brawl was among the security detail for the ceremony to welcome Earth into the Council of Worlds. When [[Iron Ring|a group of human assailants]] attacked, he mobilised to fight back and evacuate Starscream. {{storylink|First Strike issue 1|First Strike #1}}

During her campaign for the role of Cybertron's leadership, Windblade invited people to speak with her one-on-one, Brawl was an unexpected speaker. Admitting that he was now afraid of dying because of the near-death experience caused by the forming of Bruticus, Brawl told Windblade he didn't want the war to start over and that she was the best candidate to prevent that from happening. During the final debate, Starscream revealed all of his crimes to the public, including the manipulation of the Combaticons. As a result, Brawl and the other Combaticons were imprisoned for their rampage as Bruticus. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

When Onslaught boasted that they could leave the strategy to him, Brawl declared that he'd handle the destroying. Like Onslaught and Swindle, Brawl was irritated when Vortex offered to stay behind and guard the base. When the Combaticons combined into Bruticus, Vortex constant worry for the base's safety compelled the team to withdraw. Shortly after, Starscream, under imminent threat of a beating from Megatron, contacted the team to demand to know where they were, Brawl joined his teammates in happily informing their illustrious leader they were all protecting the base together.

At some point, Brawl posed in a group photo with many Cybertronians, including [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]]. {{storylink|Open Comms}} As a member of [[The Rise]], Brawl came to pickup the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] along with the [[Energon]] cubes they had produced off of [[Mayalx]] with [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]], [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]], and Blast Off. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 4}}

Back of Cybertron, [[Exarchon]] the Threefold Spark returned and recruited his old collaborator Shockwave at the Rise base. Brawl and the Combaticons decided to throw in with Exarchon rather than become smaller fish in the Decepticon army. {{storylink|War's End Part One}} The Combaticons deployed to meet a second Threefold Spark body, possessing [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]], at a hidden base he had never shared with Shockwave. They agreed to serve as deterrence for any invaders while Exarchon finished his plans. Sure enough, [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and a force of Decepticons led by [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] soon assaulted the canyon. {{storylink|War's End Part Two}} A group of Autobots became involved as well, but they all pulled back once the Combiner [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] arrived from deep space at Shockwave's call. Brawl and the others cautiously welcome Devastator, along with the Rise's other lieutenant [[Slipstream (G1)|Slipstream]] as reinforcements. Exarchon became greedy, however, and tried to impose his spark on Devastator rather than using him as an ally. {{storylink|War's End Part Three}} He failed, but it left the Constructicons disabled and useless as support. The Combaticons soon faced a united attack from the Autobots and Decepticons again. Exarchon was defeated, trapped in a Titan spark cage, which was then destroyed. Brawl and his cohorts were taken into Decepticon custody. {{storylink|War's End Part Four}}

After the Autobots retreated and the Decepticons began repairing the space bridge, Onslaught dragged Brawl out of the way, assuring his comrade that he would be made whole soon. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 10|Transformers #10}} Following the battle, a huge chunk of Cybertron fell into the ocean, but Brawl and Onslaught were rescued from the ensuing carnage by [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. After being pulled aboard, Brawl corroborated Starscream's assertions of the Combaticons' penchant for violence. Later, the group returned to the crashed section of Cybertron and reunited with the remaining Combaticons. Brawl and Onslaught agreed with Starscream's assertions that [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] was an ill-fitting leader, Brawl asserting that he was a traitor for his plotting against [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. The group then watched as Starscream slaughtered most of his human rescuers. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 14|Transformers #14}}

Once the Combaticons were repaired, Starscream led them into battle against Soundwave, the quintet combining into Bruticus, {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 15|Transformers #15}} who was then defeated by [[Devastator (G1)#Energon Universe|Devastator]]. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 18|Transformers #18}} With [[Megatron (G1)#Energon Universe|Megatron]]'s return, Brawl fell in line, and later brought forth a badly-wounded Astrotrain so that the newly repaired Starscream could execute the triple changer as punishment.{{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 20|Transformers #20}}

Brawl reckons he was built to make noise, and does his best to live up to that assertion, whether talking, shooting or just moving.
But the constant grating, clanking and booming irritates the coolant out of his fellow Decepticons. Even the other Combaticons dislike it.
Brawl's hair-trigger temper makes him even less fun to be around, but at least his arrival on the battlefield has been known to paralyze enemies with mind-numbing fear. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Brawl Bio}}

Brawl is one of warriors on Earth alongside his fellow Combaticons. He's probably jealous that [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] got to Earth first before him. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars}}

When Swindle gets wind that the Autobots are on the move to a signal in the Arctic, he and Brawl try to head there themselves. Brawl, as usual, makes himself REALLY loud by shouting, As usual. Swindle tells him to shut up or at least be more quiet, until Starscream comes and finds out about Swindle's plan, and leads the operation himself. Brawl calls for them to wait up.

When they arrived, he shouted what in the [[Anatomic euphemism#Lugnuts|lugnutz]] had they found. Megatron, who was already there, told him that it was a [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. Brawl wanted to blast the entrance open, but Megatron told him that their presence must remain secret to the Autobots on the surface. After Shockwave suggested an alternative, Megatron ordered Brawl to bring in the Constructicons.

{{bigquote|I'm just wild by default.}}

When it comes to notoriety amongst the Decepticons, Brawl is considered the bully of the bunch. Brawl's hot-headed demeanor causes him to easily lose his temper. Regardless of faction, he will relentlessly attack anyone who gets in his way. Despite his wild, militaristic disposition, Brawl is still an exemplary soldier in combat. He is often assigned to serve in a Decepticon vanguard unit. No one knows Brawl's brash shouting was to keep himself sane, because if he keeps quiet, he feels like nothing but a lowly coward.

In battle, Brawl wields the "[[Giant Fists of Fury]]" and a double barreled, semi-automatic "[[Eye of the Thunderstorm]]" submachine gun. His active skill is "Smart Cover":

:''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Brawl transforms into a green Leopard 1A3 main battle tank. In vehicle mode his armament is supplemented by a large dark gray anti-aircraft gun mounted of the back of the tank's hull. In robot mode Brawl is armed with a small dark gray gun. Brawl normally operates as Bruticus' left leg, but as a [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and 2010)|Scramble City]]-style combiner, he can also act as any other limb for any other combination of robots who share the connection design. Bruticus's package art has Brawl face forwards when latter becomes one of the legs while the instruction manual has Brawl face backwards like his in-show appearance. Both don't affect the combiner's overall stability.

:The initial release of Brawl had [[die-cast]] metal treads on his legs, but like several other 1986 toys, later releases replaced this with colored plastic. In 1987, he came packaged with a random Decepticon [[Decoy]] and accompanying mini-comic/checklist.

In robot mode, Brawl can hold his rifle (which features a [[5 mm post]] as its handle) in either hand.

: In addition to his robot and vehicle modes, Brawl can also combine with his fellow Combaticons into Bruticus and serve as any of the gestalt robot's four limbs, though his official configuration shown in the [[instructions]] is the left leg.

: This toy was [[retool]]ed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Twintwist#Toys|Twintwist]].

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Brawl is a redeco of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Kickback (Energon)|Kickback]]/[[Blight (Energon)|Blight]] sculpt, transforming into a green [http://www.army-technology.com/projects/gepard/gepard1.html Gepard] anti-aircraft tank. His tank mode is adorned with the text "1MJ9" in a font that says "brwl" when read upside-down. When combined with the other Combaticons, Brawl is nominally Bruticus Maximus' left leg, though he can be used in any other limb position.

:He was only available as part of the ''Universe'' Bruticus Maximus [[giftset]], which also contains [[Blast Off (G1)#Universe (2008)|Blast Off]], another redeco of the same sculpt used for Brawl. The ''Universe'' version of the giftset was initially intended to be released as a [[Target]] exclusive in the United States, but ultimately ended up being only available in some non-American markets such as Australia and Singapore. Instead, American markets eventually received a [[rebranding|rebranded]] version of this giftset (with no changes to the toys themselves) in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' packaging (thereby creating a new version of the pre-existing [[live-action film series]] [[Brawl (Movie)#Exclusive figures|Brawl]] character as well as a new [[Blast Off (ROTF)|Blast Off]] character), exclusively available at Target stores in the United States and at Zellers stores in Canada.

:This sculpt was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], as well as the ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' versions of Brawl (see [[#United|below]]) and [[Blast Off (G1)#United|Blast Off]]. Another planned redeco, ''[[Transformers (2007 toyline)|Movie]]'' [[Gunbarrel (Movie)#Tiys|Gunbarrel]], was canceled.

His cannon uses the [[C joint]] system, so it can be clipped onto multiple places on his robot mode, as well as on other figures with appropriate mounting points. (The [[instructions]] completely neglect to mention this, instead insisting on keeping the weapon attached to the vehicle roof mount in robot mode, thus keeping his weapon on his back even though he comes packed with the gun clipped onto his fist.) His arm-panels also utilize 3 mm clips, therefore they can be equipped with assorted C joint accessories. They can also be removed and used as shields as they too are attached to his wrists with C-joints. The side of Brawl's alt mode is decorated with "D67", the Japanese ID number of his original toy.

:Originally developed by Hasbro Asia for release in their territories, Brawl was brought over with many other toys as [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusives for the 2012 holiday season.

:This mold would also have been used for the canceled ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Bodyblock (TF 2010)#Toys|Bodyblock]] toy.

:*''Accessories'': Barrel/rifle, gun/hand/foot
{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxes, Brawl transforms into a military tank of some kind. Though the turret cannot rotate, the barrel can hinge up and down. Said barrel can also pop off for Brawl to wield in robot mode as a rifle. The gun/hand/foot accessory can also be attached to the turret to homage to his tank mode with [[Sonic cannon|twin sonic cannon back in G1]].

:Brawl has a slight engineering problem: his waist isn't designed to completely collapse into itself to attach to the hips, so he literally has no stomach (stock photography tends to hide this issue by showing Brawl from a high angle). Additionally, due to tolerance issues on many copies of the figure, the waist doesn't click in in its intended configuration—leading his chest to often flop backward. Later samples of Brawl and all subsequent uses of the mold however appear to have the remedied the issue for the most part allowing the waist to at least stay tabbed in. Additionally, his robot mode legs do not peg very firmly together, resulting in them separating frequently in arm configuration. Particularly, the tab on the hardpoint for the combined mode hand does not fit snugly into the slot. The tab and slot on his knees is similarly loose, but to a lesser degree.

:As Brawl is a ''Combiner Wars'' figure, he can combine with his fellow [[Combaticon (G1)#Combiner Wars|Combaticons]] to form [[Bruticus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Bruticus]] as either an arm or a leg. He can also combine with any ''Unite Warriors'' Voyager class figure or even form one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs.

:Brawl comes with a copy of "''Combiner Wars'' #2" (actually [[Night and the City|''Robots in Disguise'' #9]]), while regional versions outside of the United States come with a collector card. He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up at TJ Maxx at reduced prices with the collector card.

: This mold was retooled to make [[BotCon 2016]] [[Ram Horn#Combiner Wars|General Ramhorn]], [[Nosecone (G1)#Generations|Nosecone]], [[Drillhorn (G1)#Generations|Drillhorn]], and [[Killbison#Generations|Ironbison]].

:Released as part of the first 2026 wave of ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'', Combaticon Brawl converts from Sunbow accurate robot mode to tank. Unlike all the other Scramble City limbs released throughout ''Legacy'' and ''Age of the Primes'' with the exception of his teammate [[Swindle_(G1)#Age_of_the_Primes|Swindle]], he is a Voyager, not a Deluxe, to give him a little more bulk and complexity, and ratchets to provide ankle articulation for the Combaticons' combined mode…. or so the designers said, as the actual toy includes no such ratchet. This price point bump does allow him to come with a pair of large cannons in addition to his handheld blaster, like his original toy.

:He, of course, combines with his fellow ''Age of the Primes'' Combaticons (or, at least, Onslaught's frame) to form [[Bruticus (G1)#Age of the Primes|Bruticus]]. In line with other "frame" combiners made in recent years, he forms only the leg, with the ankle joint restricting him to the left, with no arm mode.

:Word of warning: the instructions tell you to lift the feet up farther than is possible on the toy. Several copies of this figure have also been reported coming with stress marks on the leg mode's ankle joint out of the box.

:Brawl was revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2025.

==Notes==
*The [[character model]]s of the Combaticons are kinda... okay, ''heavily'' made-up. Brawl has a lot of extra bits, and his arms are completely different from the toy. Early models of the team which were a bit more accurate to the toys—except for the heads, oddly enough—have shown up in various sourcebooks, though Brawl's is still off in some very odd ways. Even his final vehicle-mode model is off-kilter, resembling a British {{w|Centurion tank|Centurion}} more than a German Leopard 1.
*The packaging of the 1990 European [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] release of the original Onslaught toy depicted the Combaticons in new color schemes, despite the fact that the actual toys looked identical to their original releases. While it may never be known for certain, it has been theorized that these colors originated from a packaging printing error rather than a legitimate attempt to [[redeco]] the Combaticons.
*Brawl's animation model was used multiple times (in both robot and tank modes) as [[generic]] Decepticons in the [[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|''Armada'' cartoon]].
*According to the [[Walmart]] computer database, there seemed to have been plans at some point for a ''[[War Within (franchise)|War Within]]'' version of Brawl in the 6" ''[[Titanium Series]]'' line. No other evidence of these plans has come to light.
*In the ''Wings of Honor'' continuity the Combaticons are swayed to the Decepticon side by Deathsaurus appealing to their darker natures, represented by one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Shockingly, Brawl's Wrath was his undoing (though one might also make an argument for Lust. Battlelust, that is.)
*Interestingly, Hasbro documentation pertaining to the alternate [[Ironclad]] head for ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe Class [[Rook (CW)#Toys|Rook]] labeled it as a "Brawl" head.<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/145413-the-second-annual-petes-robot-convention-and-dab-academy-june-9-10-2018/page-14#entry3744333 Comments by Pete Sinclair and Jesse Wittenrich]</ref>

IP infringement

2025-12-27T08:14:57Z

Liliesrobots: /* "Third party" toys */ This bit was obviously written circa 2015 or so; while I know we're not really here to catalog 3p i see no reason not to update.

{{disambig2|unlicensed toys based on ''Transformers''|third parties that produce actual ''Transformers'' products under license|Third party}}
[[File:01-Studio Headless Unicron.jpg|thumb|200px|"You underestimate me, Hasbro."]]
The many and varied facets of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] are the intellectual property (IP) of [[Hasbro]] and [[TakaraTomy]], and their ownership of these ideas and designs is [[Copyright|protected by law]]. Alas, some rascally elements have, over the years, decided they'd like a slice of that pie, which has led to the creation of what have been described as '''IP infringing items''' by employees of former Hasbro licensee [[Fun Publications]].

{{bigquote|Theft of IP like this is staggering, develop your own characters and designs!|[[Aaron Archer]], former [[Hasbro]] employee<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170510214929/https://aaron-archer-art.tumblr.com/post/88471654165/aeonmagnus-fans-toys-ft-03-scoria-gallery Aaron Archer on Tumblr]</ref><ref>Archer would later do design work for a not-[[Octopunch (G1)|Octopunch]] figure for an abortive Kickstarter project. TFWiki.net leaves you to make of this what you will.</ref>}}

==Kinds of IP infringement==
Technically, any use of Hasbro and Takara's ''Transformers'' names, characters, and concepts without obtaining a license could be considered IP infringement. Things such as fan art and fan fiction, however, are rarely considered problematic, being as they are not intended to generate profit or are otherwise one-off works. In fact, in the past Hasbro has laid out guidelines to fan-artists and similar creators wishing to make and sell art and crafts based on ''Transformers'', which basically boiled down to being careful how one "branded" it (or, in practice, ''didn't'' brand it by just avoiding the use of brand names and some minor semantics).

When things get dicey —and the license-holders get tetchy— is when IP infringement occurs on a grander, and more organized scale.

===Knockoffs===
[[File:DOTM.MIRAGEKO.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Automatons in Concealment]]
{{main|Knockoff}}
In the context of ''Transformers'', [[knockoff]] is often used to describe both low-budget/quality toys, the kind of off-color, oversized/undersized thing that one might come across in a "dollar store" cranked out by the bajillions from China, and higher-quality toys that actually attempt to pass themselves off as genuine Hasbro or Takara products. Knockoffs that are direct replicas of existing Hasbro toys are very obviously the result of theft – in that case, it is the precise design and engineering for the toy that has been stolen. However, it is not unheard of for manufacturers to create their own cheap toys in the image of ''Transformers'' characters, and these still constitute IP infringement– Optimus Prime the Character is as much Hasbro's property as Optimus Prime the Specific Toy.

Conversely, a toy that copies the engineering (i.e. [[transformation]]) of an existing Hasbro/Takara product but is changed enough as to not resemble an existing character protected by copyright might not necessarily constitute IP infringement: Functionality is protected by patents, and patent protection legally expires after 20 years. This is why you occasionally see off-brand toys that work just like the [[Jumpstarter]]s but look nothing like [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]] or [[Twin Twist]].
{{--}}

==="Third party" toys===
[[File:MechaformNotJetfire.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.85|I Can't Believe It's Not Jetfire!]]
In the late 2000s, spurred on by the ''Transformers'' nostalgia boom invoked by the [[live-action film series]], a new phenomenon arose—unlicensed products based on ''Transformers'' aimed at the adult collector market. The very earliest examples of this kind of product were accessories and then "upgrades" for existing Hasbro toys, such as a trailer/armor set for [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Ultra Magnus]], but the market quickly grew to include standalone action figures based on ''Transformers'' characters. The number of groups producing these figures has ballooned rapidly, to the point that two or even three separate companies will be simultaneously releasing toys of the same characters. Popular market trends have included [[combiner]]s, figures emulating the qualities of the ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line, and higher-quality figures made at the scale of old Legends- or Core-class toys.

The [[fandom]]'s generally recognized name for these kinds of figures is "third party Transformers", although this is ultimately a misnomer for the plain reason that they are not actual ''Transformers'' products. This terminology makes more sense in light of their history, as the initial accessories, add-ons and "upgrade" kits can still somewhat be considered "third party" products, and the term, once established among the fandom, was simply never adjusted when standalone figures became the main focus of such offerings. It also differentiates them from "bootleg" toys, as bootlegs are usually considered explicit copies of official Transformers toys designed to "trick" unaware buyers into purchasing thing, while "third party" products are usually explicitly purchased by collectors for their qualities. Obviously, these should not be confused with the actual [[Third party|third parties]] who produce ''Transformers'' merchandise under license from Hasbro or Takara.

In (very half-hearted) attempts to dissuade the notion that they are pinching ''Transformers'' characters, "third party" toy manufacturers typically avoid using [[Insignia|faction symbols]] (although sometimes include molded spaces for the buyer to apply their own), and give their figures alternative names that attempt to capture the sound and/or spirit of the [[trademark]]ed originals, with varying degrees of bizarreness. A toy intended to look like [[Starscream (disambiguation)|Starscream]] might, for example, wind up named "Stellaryell". Initially, fans would often avoid confusion by referring to these figures as "not" versions of the characters they were based on (for example, "Not-Starscream"), though as the market has grown that terminology has been mostly abandoned since there's liable to be multiple different Not-Starscreams. After many years of these products, name overlaps are bound to happen; for example, different companies have figures alternatively based on [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] that are both named "Rager". Even more hilariously (though not really surprising), there are even ''knockoffs'' of "third party" toys! Let's see ''them'' duke out their IP conflicts in court.

Desire for those toys arises for various reasons, including:

* Wanting a toy of a character who has not received a modern, or any toy, at a certain scale or quality, or in a specific style, such as the ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line.
* Desiring different aesthetics (such as a more [[Live-action film series|movie]] accurate design compared to official toys), or a new design of a character.
* A belief that they are of superior quality. Design limitations such as [[For safety reasons|safety regulations]] and [[Design change|budget]] are much less of an issue compared to official toys; like many other figures designed for an adult audience, a "not a toy" disclaimer can be found on some of these products to justify these features, such as sharper edges on characters or small parts.

For reasons that should be obvious, TFWiki considers "third party" toys unrelated to its goal of documenting the ''Transformers'' brand, beyond examples where they have influenced official product.

====Types of "third party" toys====
Note: The following terms are descriptors rather than actual official terms since, well, they're clearly not official products.

=====Accessories=====
These are generally items that are designed to interact with official product, but involve no modification to said official product. These are most often weapons (e.g. the [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|Star Saber]] and [[Dark Star Saber]] from ''Transformers: Prime''), but may also include [[:Category:MacGuffins|MacGuffins]] like the [[AllSpark Matrix]] or even characters like notable humans such as [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari]] and [[Isaac Sumdac (Animated)|Isaac Sumdac]].

=====Add-ons=====
These are items that are designed to interact with official product and modify their appearance. However, said modification takes advantage of preexisting tabs, slots, posts and so on, thus requiring no actual modification of the official product. An example would be panels designed to fill in the gaps in the thighs of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Titans Return|''Titans Return'' Powermaster Optimus Prime]], which slot in snugly into the gaps.

=====Upgrade kits=====
These are items designed to interact with official product and modify their appearance, but require some sort of actual modification to the official product. This can be as simple as popping off and swapping a limb on ball joints or putting a small piece in a gap to fill it in, to more comprehensive modifications like partial disassembly and replacing of parts. A kit that allows someone to switch the head of ''Classics'' Bumblebee to create a ''Classics''-styled Goldbug or giving ''G1'' Ironhide and Ratchet actual heads would be an example of this.

=====Full figures=====
As mentioned above, these are generally what is meant when references are made to "third party Transformers". These are standalone fully transformable figures clearly based on and meant to evoke actual ''Transformers'' characters. One of the earliest and most (in)famous examples was a triple-changing Not-Springer which became wildly popular because official Springer toys of that time transformed into either a land vehicle or an air vehicle, but not both. These types of products are arguably the most problematic, as they may actually cause lost sales for an official figure. Add-ons and upgrade kits, in contrast, may actually encourage collectors to purchase the official products they are meant to complement.

Again, these are descriptors, partially because there is a lot of overlap. For example, would a replacement head for a reissue G1 Bruticus that comes with light up LED eyes be considered an upgrade kit (since it replaces the original head) or an add-on (since it makes use of the post hole already intended for the original head)? Would hands and feet for a ''Combiner Wars'' Combiner that also transform into weapons for the component bots fall under accessories (as they're weapons) or upgrade kits (since they replace the original hands and feet) or add-ons (since they slot into preexisting ports)? And what about stickers that can change, for example, [[Prowl (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|''Siege'' Prowl]] into an approximation of an [[Autotrooper (disambiguation)|Autotrooper]]? In fact, a lot of what created the demand for figures in the first place was that grey area. The first widely-successful "third-party" figures were technically an upgrade kit for [[Bruticus Maximus (ROTF)|Bruticus Maximus]], which were "fixing" the problem of the set having only two limb molds by adding two additional Basic-sized figures to the mix.

===Doujinshi===
Generally understood to mean fan-comics, ''doujinshi'' (同人誌) are a uniquely Japanese occurrence. Japan has a very healthy culture of fan groups who make their own manga, many of them starring original characters but a huge portion starring characters owned by companies (for a ''Transformers'' example, imagine a gag manga where [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]] is portrayed as a little child and being raised by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and the other Decepticons to be the mighty [[Emperor of Destruction]] he is in [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)#Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory|''Transformers: Victory'']]. Hijinks ensue). This would of course never fly in a litigious society like the US, but in Japan doujinshi exist in a strange gray area.<ref>[https://www.tofugu.com/japan/doujinshi-definition/ A page explaining doujinshi and why they're tolerated in Japan]</ref>

Basically, the difference between what would be understood as a fan-comic in the West and a doujinshi in Japan is that in the West (especially the US), while a company might turn a blind eye to someone making fan-comics for fun (e.g. on a site like DeviantArt), they would come down on them if they tried to put those same fan comics up for sale. [[Hasbro]] might allow (or at least ignore) people selling fanart and fan-comics at a proper ''Transformers'' convention like [[BotCon]], but might be much less forgiving if those same people tried to sell those items at, say, a general science fiction convention. Meanwhile, in Japan, there are various conventions where doujinshi are actually the key focus, such as the famous {{w|Comiket}}. A ''Transformers'' doujinshi might be sold at a ''Transformers''-related convention, but might also appear at, say, a mecha-related convention or a general science fiction-related convention (since the Transformers would fall under a mecha or science fiction category).

Long story short, [[TakaraTomy]] could complain and shut down groups making doujinshi any time they wanted, but like many Japanese companies, it appears that it simply isn't worth the hassle. People who make doujinshi are often the most hardcore of fans, and so alienating them isn't something most companies are eager to do. In addition, any victory would simply not be worth the resulting bad press, since fan groups are not exactly swimming in cash and while doujinshi are put up for sale, a lot of groups seem to just do it for love of the art or the series. Most doujinshi also receive extremely limited distribution, such as at dedicated conventions for only one or two days at a time. It should also be mentioned that many big names in manga got their starts or honed their skills in doujinshi circles, and it isn't impossible for a company to want to recruit some of these up-and-coming talents.

It, er, probably should be pointed out that some (though not all) doujinshi are very, ''very'' NSFW.

==Hasbro and IP infringement==
===Remarks and actions===
Official statements from Hasbro on "third party" toys are few and far between. In one response, provided as part of the company's now-defunct fansite Q&A program, they noted the illegal nature of the figures, and remarked that this kind of IP infringement was unfair to legitimate licensees who pay to produce ''Transformers'' merchandise.<ref>[http://www.tfviews.com/news/main/hasbro-q-and-a/499 TFviews Hasbro Q&A, August 2009]</ref> Hasbro did keep a binder cataloging every "third party" toy in case action needed to be taken against them.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/997302-aaron-archers-statements-toy-design-tfcon-2014-a.html "Aaron Archers statements on toy design at Tfcon 2014"] at TFW2005.</ref>

In 2015, Hasbro's UK branch distributed an online survey of the collecting habits of ''Transformers'' fans to coincide with the Auto Assembly unofficial convention, which included a surprising number of questions regarding "third party" products. In a bit of an embarrassing ''faux pas'', a Hasbro representative present at the convention itself also addressed a [[Vos (G1)|Vos]] cosplayer as "Cynicus", the name of an unofficial figure of that character.<ref>[http://waspshot23.tumblr.com/post/127569311096/ok-so waspshot23 on Tumblr]</ref>

To date, there has only been one known instance of Hasbro pursuing actual legal action against the manufacturers of "third party" toys. While such unofficial toys were banned from being sold at the dealer room at [[BotCon 2012]],<ref>This mandate initially encompassed fan art too, but this was quickly relaxed.</ref> [[BotCon 2015|2015]] and [[BotCon 2016|2016]], they generally seem to adopt a "laissez-faire" approach to such toys; while they don't officially condone such material, they're willing to allow it to exist as long as it isn't impacting Hasbro's bottom line. The one instance of Hasbro taking legal action was an unofficial toy of [[Unicron]], announced during the [[Hasbro Pulse#HasLab|HasLab]] campaign for [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron|''War for Cybertron'' Unicron]], seemingly intended to directly undercut Hasbro's big-ticket crowdfunded toy; evidently and understandably unhappy with this, Hasbro apparently intervened to have all posts about the pretender to the throne taken down from social media.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/3rd-party-not-unicron-apparently-removed-by-hasbro/43937/ 3rd Party (Not) Unicron Apparently Removed by Hasbro] at Seibertron</ref> (The company later cropped up under a new name and sold their toy unimpeded, once the HasLab had run its course.)

===Third party designs in official products and marketing===
[[File:MTMTE18 cvrB.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|IP un-infringement?]]
Beginning in the 2010s, there have been occasions where "third party" figure designs have slipped into official media. One cover for [[Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|''More than Meets the Eye'' #18]] saw [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] and [[Gears (G1)|Gears]] drawn based on unofficial figures "Rager" and "Cogz." Hasbro and [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] did not comment on this, although it seems likely that somebody somewhere might've gotten a slap on the wrist. (The artist in question has not done any comic covers since...)

Meanwhile, ''official'' third party licensee [[Imaginarium Art]]'s statues of [[Hot Rod (G1)/merchandise#Imaginarium Art|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Imaginarium Art|Devastator]] were almost entirely based on the unofficial figures "Carry" and "Green Giant"- Rodimus Prime and Devastator featured very specific proportions and sculpted body details otherwise unique to Carry and Green Giant, with Devastator's kneepads/forearms and Rodimus' unique forearm pipes being dead giveaways, not to mention Devastator's alternate head being the exact "Green Giant" sculpt. One has to assume Hasbro wasn't looking too closely, or were understandably unaware of those figures, when they signed off on these. ...Though someone noticed ''something'' since Rodimus Prime's earliest previews are [https://news.tfw2005.com/2015/12/28/imaginarium-art-rodimus-prime-statue-307242 ''direct'' copies of "Carry"] as opposed to the resculpted chest, head, and back spoiler of the final.

In what was presumably an innocent mistake that resulted from the use of a fan's personal collection, a slide shown at the Hasbro investor and press event presentation during [[Toy Fair 2016]] that represented Transformers "Spanning Generations" featured a photograph of a father and son surrounded by a variety of ''Masterpiece'' toys... and the "third party" [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] "Green Giant".<ref name="toyfair16">[http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/02/12/tfw2005-coverage-hasbro-toy-fair-2016-investor-press-event-309206 Slides from the Hasbro investor and press event presentation during Toy Fair 2016].</ref> Oops!

Although stylized, the ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]'' models for the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] are recognizably based upon the "Feralcons", one of the three notable sets of "third party" Predacons. It even leaked into their combined mode, thusly based upon "Feral Rex". Meanwhile, [[Motormaster (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Motormaster]] is modeled on the TransFormMission "Powertrain" interpretation of Motormaster's design from IDW's [[The Transformers (IDW)|2009-2011 comic series]].

[[File:LL19 vehicle modes.jpg|thumb|left|250px|IP dis-infringement.]]
The ''Earth Wars'' rendition of [[Warpath (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Warpath]] is based on one or both of BadCube "Wardog" and FansToys "Sheridan".

Similarly, ''Earth Wars'' and the ''[[Transformers: Power of the Primes (cartoon)|Power of the Primes]]'' cartoon feature models for the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] based on the Fanstoys' "Iron Dibots" figures, rather than those from the concurrent [[Power of the Primes (toyline)|toyline]].

In an odd occurrence for a game which almost exclusively employed screen models and recent toys, [[Jazz (G1)#Transformers: Forged to Fight|Jazz]] in ''[[Transformers: Forged to Fight]]'' is directly modeled on Toyworld's "Coolsville" figure.

[[E. J. Su]], fulfilling the role of guest artist for [[Crucible (Part 1): A Dance Before Dying|''Lost Light'' #19]], was not given vehicle mode references for Rodimus, Drift, Ratchet, and Chromedome. Consequently, he had to make do with googling and used alt-modes [[:File:LL19 vehicle modes.jpg|based directly]] on the Mastermind Creations "Calidus" and "Stray" figures. Ratchet and Chromedome were based on official, though inaccurate, toys of the character.

The [[package art]] for ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Sky Lynx (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Sky-Lynx]] appears to depict [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] using DX9's "legends scale" take on the character as a basis.

An [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] [[:File:BBArcee Head Revisions.jpg|design presentation]] about the 2018 ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' movie used an image of Fans Toys "Rouge" as a [[Arcee (G1)|"Generation 1" Arcee]] design reference for [[Arcee (Movie)|''Bumblebee'' Arcee]].<ref>[https://www.ilm.com/visual_development/bumblebee-developing-an-epic-set-piece/ Bumblebee: Developing an Epic Set Piece - ILM San Francisco]</ref> This is an unsurprising research method as Arcee did not receive an official ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|figure]] until 2020, with multiple unlicensed third-party companies vying for fans' attention throughout the 2010s.

Package art for ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' [[Nemesis (G1)#Legacy|Nemesis]] featured [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] in his Cybertronian "Tetra Jet" mode, based off Impossible Toy's "Prankstor".

[[Singapore Comic Con#2023|Cybertron Fest 2023]] accidentally let some third party upgrade kits slip through the cracks in its display of fan collections. Namely, in a cabinet full of Optimus Primes, ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Unite Warriors|Optimus Maximus]] has the Perfect Effect upgrade kit equipped, giving him a different pair of hands, feet, torso, and waist than the normal retail release. Not too far away, ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Thrilling 30 (2013–2014)|Thrilling 30]]'' [[Metroplex (G1)#Generations|Metroplex]] and mold-mate ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Titans Return|Fortress Maximus]] have also been seemingly upgraded, using the Unique Toys Metropolis head and Perfect Effect PC-14EX blaster (meant for [[Grand Maximus#Legends|his brother]]) respectively.

[[Daniel Warren Johnson]] uses Magic Square's 2023 "Light of Peace" Optimus as a reference when drawing him in Skybound's [[Transformers (2023 comic)|''Transformers'' comic]], on account of its poseability.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=This is the Optimus Prime figure that Magic Square put out this past year in 2023. It's an update, so it has a new head sculpt, it looks just like the movie, the '86 movie which of course has been my bible. He looks so good that you can actually like, kind of pose him, and he looks pretty dynamic. And I knew that, man, if the toy looks this cool in real life, then I can make him look really cool... like look at this, it looks great, he looks kind of alive.|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joUZgObXmU0&t=798s|name=Daniel Warren Johnson|site=YouTube|title=TRANSFORMERS Issue 1 DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY|year=2023|month=10|day=06}}</ref>

The depiction of [[Primus#One film|Primus]] in the 2024 film ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' is largely based on the 01 Studio "Seed" figure—itself based on his [[:File:UltimateGuidePrimus.jpg|''The Ultimate Guide'' design]]—particularly the details of his arms and legs.

[[File:Gravity Whoops.jpg|thumb|Move over, Green Giant! There's a new 3P Devastator in town for artists to accidentally google!]]
In [[Renegade Game Studios|Renegade Studios]]' [[Transformers Roleplaying Game|Transformers RPG]] sourcebook ''[[The Enigma of Combination]]'', a schematic intended to depict [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] instead depicts Generation Toy's unlicensed "Gravity Builder", or possibly the more widely-available upscaled Jinbao version.

===Hasbro's own copyright dodging===
[[File:CYB sonic bomber originalsculpt.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb|First party problems.]]
Despite Hasbro's own (completely understandable) aversion against people making a profit off their IP without permission, it's not like Hasbro is entirely innocent in this regard: In fact, the ''Transformers'' toys' [[alternate mode]]s being unlicensed reproductions of real-world vehicles and aircraft goes back all the way to the very first ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' toys.

While the whole market situation was still very different back in the 1980s, and car manufacturers apparently didn't start properly enforcing their intellectual properties in the field of toys and merchandise until the early 2000s, ''Transformers'' toys with [[licensed vehicle alternate modes]] are still the exception rather than the rule. The vast majority of [[popular Earth vehicle alternate modes]] are still unlicensed approximations of their real-life inspirations, basically "[[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys|not-Lamborghinis]]" or "[[Powerglide (G1)|not-A-10s]]", with a few details altered to avoid a lawsuit — though this wasn't enough in [[Side Burn (RID)#Toys|one notable case]]. [[Downshift (Energon)#Cybertron|Some]] [[Windcharger (G1)#Transformers (2010)|examples]] are a little more creative, meshing together two or more real-life inspirations to create a genuine "hybrid" design, but most are just barely altered and instantly recognizable for what they are supposed to represent. While the target audience is obviously a different one (most people who buy a Hasbro Sunstreaker do so because he represents Sunstreaker the ''Transformers'' character, not because they want a Lamborghini for their toy car collection; however, most, if not all, people who buy a "third party" version of Sunstreaker do so because he represents Sunstreaker the ''Transformers'' character), it illustrates the gray area involved.

Less of a gray area appears to be the case of the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[High Beam (G2)#Generation 2|High Beam]] (released in 1995), though: Its alternate mode looks plain ''identical'' to a vehicle from [[Mattel]]'s ''[[Hot Wheels (franchise)|Hot Wheels]]'' line that was first released in 1991 under the names "[[fandom:hotwheels:Back Burner (Cap Blastin')|Back Burner]]" and "Sonic Special", then in 1993 as the "Dragon Wagon", but would eventually become more well known in 1995 under the name "[[fandom:hotwheels:Speed Blaster|Speed Blaster]]". Unless both toys were based on the same obscure real-life concept car that has since been ''completely'' forgotten by history, that would be a ''very'' blatant case of Hasbro ''literally'' copying one of its competitor's toys and just making it transform.

Hasbro's ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' and ''[[Kre-O]]'' toylines "knocking off" [[LEGO]]'s iconic bricks cannot be considered IP infringement, however, as the technical patents for their brick-building system expired in [[1978]].

Thirteenth Prime

2025-12-27T08:12:11Z

Liliesrobots: /* One film */ worth noting that 'the thirteenth' wasn't really a big deal here

{{factions|{{factions/icons|custom=PotP-Thirteenth.png|cSize=30px|cLink=Thirteenth Prime}}|autobot}}
{{disambig3|Thirteen}}
[[File:TheVisionary.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|After years of neglect from the [[X-Men]] writers, Chamber began moonlighting as a Transformers character.]]

The '''Thirteenth Prime''' is the last of the [[Thirteen|original epic warriors]] of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Cloaked in mystery even more than his fellow [[Prime (rank)|Primes]], this warrior's legacy is carried forwards in the present day by those who wield the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. He is sometimes known by the epithet of '''the Arisen''', or simply as '''Thirteen'''.

==Conceptual history==
The Thirteenth Prime is a bit of a confusing character, as he's the product of changing ideas, unfulfilled intentions, and abandoned concepts. The character was initially conceived by [[Aaron Archer]] and the other creatives at [[HasLab (Hasbro department)|HasLab]] as part of the new mythology they assembled to underpin the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned continuity]], and was designed to be a mythical figure who served as the in-universe origin point for two concepts spoken of in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'': the prophecy of the "[[darkest hour]]," on which an unknown hero would rise up to save the universe, and the Autobot mantra, "[['Til all are one]]," presaging a great day of unity in the Transformers' future.

As detailed in the "[[Binder of Revelation]]," the original plan for the Thirteenth was that he was the warrior who defeated [[Unicron]] in the Primes' ancient battle with the dark god, after which he disappeared, leaving behind a prophecy that he would return in the universe's darkest hour, on the day "when all are one." In the early planning stages of the Aligned continuity, the Thirteenth didn't have a definite, locked-in identity, as it wasn't known for sure if the story of his present-day return would ever be told, hence the indistinct, "faceless" artwork that was created for the character.<ref>{{citesocial|name=Sabrblade|site=Transformers Wiki Discord|link=https://discord.com/channels/656241088826441729/656248887534944265/1383917633912701031|day=15|month=06|year=2025|quote=I did also actually talk to him about the idea of making the 13th Prime be Optimus and how unpopular that decision ultimately was. He said that that actually wasn't supposed to be the case. The original plan was to deliberately lean into the mystery and ambiguity of the 13th's identity and make him just some legendary figure destined to appear when the time is right according to an ancient prophecy that may or may never come true. The decision to make Optimus Prime the reincarnation of this nameless figure came much later, and it was one of those things that just happened to come about when there's a bunch of cooks all working in the same kitchen. }}</ref> But as the story of the universe took further shape, it was decided that the whole continuity would climax with a story about the return of Unicron, during which the prophecy would be fulfilled, and the Thirteenth would return to destroy the chaos-bringer and unite the universe in peace. While the prophesied hero spoken of in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' turned out to be [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]], for the Aligned continuity, it was decided that the foretold warrior would be [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], who would be revealed as the reincarnation of the Thirteenth when he reassembled the shattered fragments of the [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|Star Saber]] sword and reunited the [[Matrix of Leadership]] with the blade.

But this proposed climactic story never happened. The Aligned continuity would be beset by many problems in the course of its production, and HasLab wound up quickly losing control of the direction of the story as a result of a series of storytelling conflicts between HasLab and the staff of the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' cartoon; Unicron returned well ahead of schedule, Prime got his hands on an intact Star Saber that had never been shattered, and the prophecy of the Thirteenth never even came up. All hope of getting the story back on track was lost in 2012, when layoffs at Hasbro resulted in HasLab being shut down, and instead, a totally different version of the Thirteenth's tale wound up being told in the guidebook, ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus]],'' which removed all the prophecy and mystery from the story, and just matter-of-factly walked through the process of how the Thirteenth was reborn as Optimus. The ''Covenant'' alleged that, from the moment he was given the Matrix and became Autobot leader, Optimus knew that he was the Thirteenth reborn, but no ''other'' Aligned media would ever acknowledge this, or address the concept of the Thirteenth at all, turning the whole thing into just a bit of background lore from a guidebook, instead of the universe-shaking story-ending reveal that HasLab had wanted it to be.

The idea as presented in the ''Covenant'' also didn't go down well. Turning Optimus Prime from a normal 'bot who earned leadership based on his own merits into a preordained hero, reincarnated from a demigod from the dawn of time, proved widely unpopular with fans, and almost no subsequent media to feature the Thirteen has utilised it. Instead, most subsequent stories have wound up hewing closer to HasLab's earliest intentions for the Thirteenth, presenting him as a mysterious figure whose true identity is unknown, while some have even abandoned the concept entirely and chosen to fill the thirteenth spot on the Primes' roster with different characters.

==Fiction==
===Aligned continuity family===
{{main|Optimus Prime (WFC)}}
The figure remembered as only "the Thirteenth Prime" was '''Optimus Prime''', the mediator and visionary of the Primes, who united them by being the first of their number to raise a hand in greeting. After the Thirteen were torn apart by internal conflict, Optimus chose to be reborn as an ordinary Cybertronian through the [[Well of All Sparks]], losing memory of his past and becoming known as '''Orion Pax'''. Pax would eventually take up the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to become Optimus Prime once again, and—after sacrificing his life to restore Cybertron—rejoined his brethren in the [[Realm of the Primes]], where they trained him for a mission to Earth in order to defeat his fallen brother [[The Fallen|Megatronus]].

===2005 IDW continuity===
[[File:TAAO9 the arisen.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1|After years of ignoring Grigori, the Arisen's scar grew to cover most of his torso.]]
{{first|[[Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|''The Transformers'' vol. 2 #47]] (mentioned); [[Heavy|''Till All Are One'' #9]] (obscured image)}}
Like the other Primes, the thirteenth of their number once ruled over one of the [[Thirteen Tribes]] in the ancient days of Cybertron. Along with four others, he was attracted to the [[Crystal City]] alliance and became one of the planet's Thirteen Primes. As Crystal City grew and expanded, he joined his fellow [[Prime (rank)|Primes]] in its citadel. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

He and his brethren would later vanish from the planet when war tore the tribes apart, and disappeared into legend. For reasons unknown, his name was stricken from history, along with that of his brother [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]; whereas Megatronus became known only as "the Fallen", he was dubbed "'''the Arisen'''". {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} Eons afterwards, [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]] would unknowingly send one of his [[Regenesis]] ores to a planet associated with the Arisen. {{storylink|Shockwaves}} {{storylink|The Crucible}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

[[File:OP18 Thirteen in Crystal City.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2|That's me in the corner. That's [[Prima|him]] in the spotlight, building a religion.]]
Like his fellows, the Arisen would be deified by subsequent generations of Cybertronians. He in particular would go onto to be revered as the "true Prime", {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}} and was foretold to lead Cybertron's defence during [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s second coming, bringing peace to the universe when he slew the Chaos Bringer. {{storylink|Last Stand (Unicron)|Last Stand}}

In the present day, upon meeting [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], the [[Mistress of Flame]] of Caminus came to believe that he was the Arisen. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}} [[Pyra Magna]] and her [[Torchbearer]]s considered this sacrilege, and departed from the Mistress's service for it. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} Optimus did not believe it himself either, but he unwittingly lent credence to the Mistress's beliefs when he annexed [[Earth]] into the [[Council of Worlds]], and raised [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]] from beneath the planet's surface. This seemed to prove both that Earth was one of the Thirteen Primes' colonies, and that, thanks to his ability to command its [[Titan (group)|Titan]], Optimus's divine identity was also true. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}} Optimus would not even countenance the notion, but began to exploit the religious faith that Caminus and the other colonies placed in him in order to accomplish good deeds on Earth. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 4: Dance Among the Shadows|Dance Among the Shadows}}

When [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]] returned to Cybertron, Optimus Prime invited him down to the surface for a rational discussion. Onyx agreed, declaring the state of Cybertron as Optimus's responsibility, for the younger Prime ''was'' none other than the Arisen. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of the Primes}}

During the conversation with Onyx, he referred to Optimus as the Arisen, before Optimus requested to simply be referred to by his name, a request Onyx acquiesced to. When [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] tried to take over the discussion, the Mistress came to Optimus's defence, reiterating her belief that he was the Arisen. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}} Once Optimus had seemingly perished, [[Liege Maximo]] would also refer to him as having been the Arisen. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|The Hallowing}}

As Optimus and [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] fought their way to the heart of Unicron, the latter tried convince Optimus to retreat, citing the [[Antilla]]n war as her responsibility. Optimus refused, claiming to be the Arisen and that he alone shouldered the responsibilities for the sins of the Primes' tainted lineage. Before he could elaborate on the statement to the confused Arcee, the two reached the [[black hole (phenomenon)|black hole]] at the centre of Unicron. {{storylink|Ceremony}} Ultimately however, Optimus would pass before he could explain his claim to Arcee. Reflecting on one of her final conversations with Optimus, however, Arcee realized it hadn't mattered who the Arisen had been. What mattered was the inspirational legacy he had left behind. {{storylink|Post}}

===''Titans Return'' cartoon===
{{main|Sentinel Prime (G1)}}
During the clash between [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], the [[Mistress of Flame]] prayed to '''Sentinel Prime''' and the other Primes, asking for his wisdom to help them solve the crisis. {{storylink|Overlord and Emissary}}

The [[Prime Master]] of '''the Thirteenth''' formed the core of the [[Matrix of Leadership]], which selected [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimal Optimus]] as its bearer. {{storylink|Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Power of the Primes|Throne of the Primes packaging}}

===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===
{{main|Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)}}
In a darker timeline, '''Optimus Prime''' was slain in his initial confrontation with [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and his spirit came to rest as the Thirteenth Prime within the accumulated wisdom of the Matrix of Leadership. When the Matrix was stolen away to another universe and pierced by a psychic shard of the native [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]], Optimus' spirit guided her to destroy the Matrix so she could save her own universe. Optimus was presumably laid to rest for good when Windblade followed his orders and destroyed the talisman from within. {{storylink|The Other One}}

When the [[Matrix of Leadership]] merged with [[Optimus Prime (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Orion Pax]], its [[Mediator]] program explained that, although the talisman had been carried by a number of Cybertronians over the years, they were but stewards until the Matrix found the Thirteenth Prime, its true bearer. {{storylink|War World: Prime|Prime}}

===''One'' film===
{{main|Zeta Prime (One)}}
'''Zeta Prime''' was the first bearer of the Matrix of Leadership. After many years fighting against the [[Quintesson#One film|Quintessons]], Zeta and his brethren were lured into a trap by their aide [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel]], who had betrayed them to their enemies. Sentinel personally killed Zeta with [[Nexus Prime]]'s gun and took the Matrix from his corpse, only for it to crumble in his hands, [[Primus]] having deemed Sentinel unworthy. Zeta's spirit would eventually appear to [[Optimus Prime (One)|Orion Pax]] within Cybertron's core, he and his fellow Primes bearing witness to Orion's reformatting as the Matrix's newest bearer, Optimus Prime. (While he filled the thirteenth slot among what was otherwise the standard Covenant Thirteen, no special emphasis or fanfare surrounds this position or his identity.)

===''Age of the Primes'' marketing material===
'''Star Optimus Prime''' was the bearer of the [[Zodiac|Zodiac orb]] and "guiding light" of the Primes. {{storylink|Cybertron Con 2024|Age of the Primes reveal panel}} He was amongst the first generation of Transformers created by [[Primus]], with all subsequent generations flowing from he and his siblings{{'}} [[Energon bloodline]]s.

[[The Fallen|Megatronus]] immediately recognized [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] as '''13''', a fellow original Prime, and asked him to accept the truth of his past. Optimus Prime didn't really seem to understand what Megatronus was talking about. {{storylink|Transformers: Forged to Fight|Forged to Fight}}

===''Transformers: Earth Wars''===
'''[[Nova Prime#Transformers: Earth Wars|Nova Prime]]''' was the self-described "seeker" of the Primes, a renegade derided by his brother [[Vector Prime]] as '''the Nemesis'''. No boundary was too great, no taboo too grave to hinder his pursuit of knowledge and power for the betterment of their children, up to and including the wills of his siblings. Nova Prime's expeditions throughout space and time eventually convinced him that the Cybertronian race were inevitably doomed to squander their birthright to glory and sink into [[Cybertronian civil wars|a morass of petty squabbles]]. To remedy this apparent cosmic constant, he broke the Thirteen's vow of non-interference with the mortal Transformers of the present day and resolved to unravel all of reality in a "[[Great Resetting]]", clearing the multiversal chessboard to try again with a firmer hand, wiser for his studies. {{storylink|Timeless Champions}} {{storylink|Source:Transformers: Earth Wars/2024|Nova Prime bio}}

The Arisen was a mysterious figure prophesied to one day return. In ancient times, he wielded the [[Scepter of Sparks]], and some ancient humans knew him as the mythical [[Heracles]].

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' "The Thirteenth" is a retool of the [[Vector Prime#Power of the Primes|Vector Prime]]/[[Metalhawk (G1)#Power of the Primes|Metalhawk]] inner robot, replacing that toy's blue parts with newly molded parts based on [[Prima#Marvel Comics continuity|Prima]]'s appearance in the Marvel Generation 1 comic, packaged in the [[Throne of the Primes#Toys|Throne of the Primes]] set.

:This toy has identical features to the other Prime Masters in the line. The [[Titan Master]]-like robot can store inside decoy armor or ride [[Size class|Legends Class]] figures in vehicle mode, and is fully compatible with toys from the previous ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' line. The "Power Swap" gimmick means its [[spark]] form can plug onto any decoy armor's weapon form (which has a [[5 mm post]] to be held by larger figures), Deluxe Class figures' chest armor, Voyager Class figures' bucklers, Leader Class figures' [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix]] (in place of their Matrix core), [[combiner]]s' torsos (in place of their [[Enigma of Combination]]), or the included [[Scepter of Sparks]] or [[Halo of Primus]] accessories. With the power of [[you]]r imagination, this bestows the Prime Master's [[Prime Master/Combinations|unique power]] on the larger figure.

:This set debuted at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018, and was later sold via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online. It was also available at general retail in Taiwan.

:The ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' incarnation of the Thirteenth Prime is Titan Class "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Age of the Primes|Star Optimus Prime]]", a full, proper update of the original [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Star Convoy]] figure, turning into a large truck with a wheeled cab and treaded trailer and a base almost identical to the design of the original, with a deco based on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#StarConvoyReissue|2005 reissue]]. He comes packaged with a rifle evoking the design of the original's "Galaxy Bomber," as well as a turret that converts into a blaster, 2 removable pairs of shoulder turrets, and a "sword hilt" adapter doohickey resembling the [[Silver Matrix]] included with the ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' iteration of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Generations Selects|Star Convoy]], all 5 mm port compatible. The rifle and turret/blaster can combine with the hilt to form a longer rifle, reproducing the "Big Bang Cannon" configuration of the ''Selects'' figure. A blue energon bullet (labeled as an "ammo clip" in the product description) is included that can clip into the side of the gun, in homage to the bounteous bullet casings flying in [[Ban Magami]]'s [[:File:Star Base Attack.jpg|original ''TV Magazine'' illustrations]].<ref name = "Cybertron Con 2024"/> The bullet is undocumented in the instructions, and doesn't attach to 5 mm gun barrels or 3 mm blast effect nodes. The hilt/Matrix is stored in one of the hollow calves of the figure (aka the trailer interior) when not in use, while the guns are simply attached to the roof of the trailer. Like most past Titans, Star Optimus Prime also includes multiple [[Fire Blast effect]]s, though he comes with more sets than others. The hilt can connect to any of them and be wielded by Optimus as a flaming sword. Lastly, the figure comes with a small Zodiac orb that serves as his [[Artifacts of the Primes|Artifact]], and is accordingly marked with his personal emblem. The Zodiac can store in his chest as seen in ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)|The Battlestars]]'' story pages. The hilt can be used as a dais to center the otherwise-dwarfed Zodiac within the chest cavity.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/DFOshCXs2gV/ Part II] of [[Hasbro]] designer [[Mark Maher]]'s design notes on ''Age of the Primes'' Star Optimus Prime, on Instagram</ref>

:As with the original figure, Star Optimus Prime comes with a [[Micromaster]] version of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Age of the Primes|Hot Rod]] and a [[Micro Trailer]] to transport him. The vehicle's cab can be separated to reveal a pair of cannons and be attached to the roof of the trailer along with the main turret and one of the shoulder turrets to serve as a battle platform for Hot Rod resembling the battle station of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#G1RodimusPrime|the original Rodimus Prime toy]]. Hot Rod attaches securely to the turrent by hooking his legs around pegs at the bottom. This battle station, sans the turret, is meant to be added to the base mode. The Micro Trailer is labeled as "MT-13," both because it comes with the Thirteenth Prime, and about the original Star Convoy coming with the fourteenth, unnumbered entry in ''Return of Convoy''{{'}}s assortment of Micro Trailers whose numbering stopped at MT-12.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=When I realized that Microtrailer 13 was the natural next number for the trailer I realized it was all truly meant to be. What a wild ride. I love Transformers!|link=https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/design-breakdown-for-age-of-the-primes-star-optimus-prime.1272984/page-8#post-23041932|site=Instagram story (archive on TFW2005)|name=Mark Maher|year=2025|month=01|day=22}}</ref> The Micro Trailer can store inside one of the figure's legs. Similar to the original toy, Hot Rod can sit in Star Optimus's chest cavity (easily cohabitating with the Zodiac), though it can't be fully closed up unless Hot Rod is in vehicle mode. A "tread unit" intended to be a new version of [[Roller (G1)|Roller's]] "[[Roller (G1)#Return of Convoy|Micro Carrier]]" form is also included in the form of the 2-piece, [[A.I.R. Lock System|A.I.R. Lock]]-compatible, ramp assembly for the base mode, which can store on the back of the legs. The Micro Carrier is intended to act as the primary home of the larger turret and features a spinning gimmick for the purpose. In the intended base mode configuration, Star Optimus's arm blocks the turret from spinning freely, but the arm can easily be moved out of the way.

:Star Optimus Prime has a minor [[misassembly]]—in many specimens, the clear plastic chest windows are not fully pressed flush into the chest cavities, leaving visible gaps at the corners. This can be fixed by unscrewing the clear plastic piece and maneuvering the corners better into position.

:Notably, Star Optimus Prime is smaller than his Titan Class predecessors, standing at a mere 15 inches. This coincides with the price decrease of Titans from $199.99 USD to $149.99 USD.

==Notes==
[[File:Prima.jpg|right|thumb|"Identity theft is not a joke, ''Jim''!"]]
*The "Multiversal" Thirteen established by [[Fun Publications]] in [[Ask Vector Prime]] do not seem to have an especially significant thirteenth member, though [[Last Autobot|Autonomous Maximus]] shares several traits with the idea of the Thirteenth Prime, being Primus's final creation who remained dormant for millenia until he was awakened in the present day. This is just a coincidence, though—when the similarities were brought up to him, Archer noted it simply hadn't occurred to him to use the Last Autobot when [[HasLab (Hasbro department)|HasLab]] finalized the Thirteen's roster. <ref>{{citesocial|name=Sabrblade|site=Transformers Wiki Discord|link=https://discord.com/channels/656241088826441729/656248887534944265/1383918059731030137|day=15|month=06|year=2025|quote=I even brought up to him the idea of how the Last Autobot from Marvel G1 would have been a perfect fit for the 13th since the Last Autobot's whole thing was being the final original creation of Primus's before the rest of the Cybertronian race came about, and Aaron said that he simply didn't think of the Last Autobot at the time when he was working on the definitive roster of the Thirteen. His research at the time simply hadn't been thorough enough.}}</ref>
*The Prime Master of The Thirteenth is visually based on [[Prima]] as he appeared in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel ''Transformers'' comics]].
*It's not entirely explicit what's going on with The Thirteenth in ''Power of the Primes'', but context clues ''seem'' to indicate that he's in some way the embodiment of the Matrix of Leadership itself: he isn't mentioned in the description of the [[Halo of Primus]], which only mentions the "12 Prime Masters", but shows The Thirteenth as the core of the Matrix, and the exclusive Prime Master collector card marked with his symbol only describes how the Matrix has chosen Optimal Optimus to lead Cybertron into a new era.<ref>The description of the Halo also mentions that "the powers of [[Primus]] are united as one", but whether this means as one bearer or as one Prime Master is left frustratingly vague.</ref> This would seem to line up with comments made by [[Hasbro]] representatives at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2017 that the Thirteenth Prime ''was'' whoever bore the Matrix of Leadership.
*''Age of the Primes'' is similarly light on details, with Hasbro characterizing Star Optimus Prime as created at the dawn of time with the other Primes via inclusion in the line's [[Energon bloodline|"descendant" gimmick]] while TakaraTomy employed a version of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#The Battlestars manga and story pages|original Star Convoy{{'}}s]] characterization as a modern-day Optimus Prime upgraded by the Zodiac in the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity]]. Little attempt is made to bridge the two, though the most straightforward {{w|Marvel No-Prize|No-Prize}} is some iteration of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Aligned Optimus Prime]]{{'}}s reincarnation schtick.
*The ''[[Transformers One Sourcebook]]'' for the ''[[Transformers Roleplaying Game]]'' suggests that the Arisen could turn out to be [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus]], [[Rodimus (disambiguation)|Rodimus]] or [[Sentinel Prime (disambiguation)|Sentinel Prime]], or even a player character!

IP infringement

Liliesrobots: /* Remarks and actions */ seems worth noting historically

{{disambig2|unlicensed toys based on ''Transformers''|third parties that produce actual ''Transformers'' products under license|Third party}}
[[File:01-Studio Headless Unicron.jpg|thumb|200px|"You underestimate me, Hasbro."]]
The many and varied facets of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] are the intellectual property (IP) of [[Hasbro]] and [[TakaraTomy]], and their ownership of these ideas and designs is [[Copyright|protected by law]]. Alas, some rascally elements have, over the years, decided they'd like a slice of that pie, which has led to the creation of what have been described as '''IP infringing items''' by employees of former Hasbro licensee [[Fun Publications]].

{{bigquote|Theft of IP like this is staggering, develop your own characters and designs!|[[Aaron Archer]], former [[Hasbro]] employee<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170510214929/https://aaron-archer-art.tumblr.com/post/88471654165/aeonmagnus-fans-toys-ft-03-scoria-gallery Aaron Archer on Tumblr]</ref><ref>Archer would later do design work for a not-[[Octopunch (G1)|Octopunch]] figure for an abortive Kickstarter project. TFWiki.net leaves you to make of this what you will.</ref>}}

==Kinds of IP infringement==
Technically, any use of Hasbro and Takara's ''Transformers'' names, characters, and concepts without obtaining a license could be considered IP infringement. Things such as fan art and fan fiction, however, are rarely considered problematic, being as they are not intended to generate profit or are otherwise one-off works. In fact, in the past Hasbro has laid out guidelines to fan-artists and similar creators wishing to make and sell art and crafts based on ''Transformers'', which basically boiled down to being careful how one "branded" it (or, in practice, ''didn't'' brand it by just avoiding the use of brand names and some minor semantics).

When things get dicey —and the license-holders get tetchy— is when IP infringement occurs on a grander, and more organized scale.

===Knockoffs===
[[File:DOTM.MIRAGEKO.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Automatons in Concealment]]
{{main|Knockoff}}
In the context of ''Transformers'', [[knockoff]] is often used to describe both low-budget/quality toys, the kind of off-color, oversized/undersized thing that one might come across in a "dollar store" cranked out by the bajillions from China, and higher-quality toys that actually attempt to pass themselves off as genuine Hasbro or Takara products. Knockoffs that are direct replicas of existing Hasbro toys are very obviously the result of theft – in that case, it is the precise design and engineering for the toy that has been stolen. However, it is not unheard of for manufacturers to create their own cheap toys in the image of ''Transformers'' characters, and these still constitute IP infringement– Optimus Prime the Character is as much Hasbro's property as Optimus Prime the Specific Toy.

Conversely, a toy that copies the engineering (i.e. [[transformation]]) of an existing Hasbro/Takara product but is changed enough as to not resemble an existing character protected by copyright might not necessarily constitute IP infringement: Functionality is protected by patents, and patent protection legally expires after 20 years. This is why you occasionally see off-brand toys that work just like the [[Jumpstarter]]s but look nothing like [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]] or [[Twin Twist]].
{{--}}

==="Third party" toys===
[[File:MechaformNotJetfire.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.85|I Can't Believe It's Not Jetfire!]]
In the late 2000s, spurred on by the ''Transformers'' nostalgia boom invoked by the [[live-action film series]], a new phenomenon arose—unlicensed products based on ''Transformers'' aimed at the adult collector market. The very earliest examples of this kind of product were accessories and then "upgrades" for existing Hasbro toys, such as a trailer/armor set for [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Ultra Magnus]], but the market quickly grew to include standalone action figures based on ''Transformers'' characters. The number of groups producing these figures has ballooned rapidly, to the point that two or even three separate companies will be simultaneously releasing toys of the same characters. Popular market trends have included [[combiner]]s and, more recently, figures emulating the qualities of the ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line.

The [[fandom]]'s generally recognized name for these kinds of figures is "third party Transformers", although this is ultimately a misnomer for the plain reason that they are not actual ''Transformers'' products. This terminology makes more sense in light of their history, as the initial accessories, add-ons and "upgrade" kits can still somewhat be considered "third party" products, and the term, once established among the fandom, was simply never adjusted when standalone figures became the main focus of such offerings. It also differentiates them from "bootleg" toys, as bootlegs are usually considered explicit copies of official Transformers toys designed to "trick" unaware buyers into purchasing thing, while "third party" products are usually explicitly purchased by collectors for their qualities. Obviously, these should not be confused with the actual [[Third party|third parties]] who produce ''Transformers'' merchandise under license from Hasbro or Takara.

In (very half-hearted) attempts to dissuade the notion that they are pinching ''Transformers'' characters, "third party" toy manufacturers typically avoid using [[Insignia|faction symbols]] (although sometimes include molded spaces for the buyer to apply their own), and give their figures alternative names that attempt to capture the sound and/or spirit of the [[trademark]]ed originals, with varying degrees of bizarreness. A toy intended to look like [[Starscream (disambiguation)|Starscream]] might, for example, wind up named "Stellaryell". Initially, fans would often avoid confusion by referring to these figures as "not" versions of the characters they were based on (for example, "Not-Starscream"), though as the market has grown that terminology has been mostly abandoned since there's liable to be multiple different Not-Starscreams. After many years of these products, name overlaps are bound to happen; for example, different companies have figures alternatively based on [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] that are both named "Rager". Even more hilariously (though not really surprising), there are even ''knockoffs'' of "third party" toys! Let's see ''them'' duke out their IP conflicts in court.

Desire for those toys arises for various reasons, including:

* Wanting a toy of a character who has not received a modern, or any toy, at a certain scale or quality, or in a specific style, such as the ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line.
* Desiring different aesthetics (such as a more [[Live-action film series|movie]] accurate design compared to official toys), or a new design of a character.
* A belief that they are of superior quality. Design limitations such as [[For safety reasons|safety regulations]] and [[Design change|budget]] are much less of an issue compared to official toys; like many other figures designed for an adult audience, a "not a toy" disclaimer can be found on some of these products to justify these features, such as sharper edges on characters or small parts.

For reasons that should be obvious, TFWiki considers "third party" toys unrelated to its goal of documenting the ''Transformers'' brand, beyond examples where they have influenced official product.

====Types of "third party" toys====
Note: The following terms are descriptors rather than actual official terms since, well, they're clearly not official products.

=====Accessories=====
These are generally items that are designed to interact with official product, but involve no modification to said official product. These are most often weapons (e.g. the [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|Star Saber]] and [[Dark Star Saber]] from ''Transformers: Prime''), but may also include [[:Category:MacGuffins|MacGuffins]] like the [[AllSpark Matrix]] or even characters like notable humans such as [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari]] and [[Isaac Sumdac (Animated)|Isaac Sumdac]].

=====Add-ons=====
These are items that are designed to interact with official product and modify their appearance. However, said modification takes advantage of preexisting tabs, slots, posts and so on, thus requiring no actual modification of the official product. An example would be panels designed to fill in the gaps in the thighs of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Titans Return|''Titans Return'' Powermaster Optimus Prime]], which slot in snugly into the gaps.

=====Upgrade kits=====
These are items designed to interact with official product and modify their appearance, but require some sort of actual modification to the official product. This can be as simple as popping off and swapping a limb on ball joints or putting a small piece in a gap to fill it in, to more comprehensive modifications like partial disassembly and replacing of parts. A kit that allows someone to switch the head of ''Classics'' Bumblebee to create a ''Classics''-styled Goldbug or giving ''G1'' Ironhide and Ratchet actual heads would be an example of this.

=====Full figures=====
As mentioned above, these are generally what is meant when references are made to "third party Transformers". These are standalone fully transformable figures clearly based on and meant to evoke actual ''Transformers'' characters. One of the earliest and most (in)famous examples was a triple-changing Not-Springer which became wildly popular because official Springer toys of that time transformed into either a land vehicle or an air vehicle, but not both. These types of products are arguably the most problematic, as they may actually cause lost sales for an official figure. Add-ons and upgrade kits, in contrast, may actually encourage collectors to purchase the official products they are meant to complement.

Again, these are descriptors, partially because there is a lot of overlap. For example, would a replacement head for a reissue G1 Bruticus that comes with light up LED eyes be considered an upgrade kit (since it replaces the original head) or an add-on (since it makes use of the post hole already intended for the original head)? Would hands and feet for a ''Combiner Wars'' Combiner that also transform into weapons for the component bots fall under accessories (as they're weapons) or upgrade kits (since they replace the original hands and feet) or add-ons (since they slot into preexisting ports)? And what about stickers that can change, for example, [[Prowl (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|''Siege'' Prowl]] into an approximation of an [[Autotrooper (disambiguation)|Autotrooper]]? In fact, a lot of what created the demand for figures in the first place was that grey area. The first widely-successful "third-party" figures were technically an upgrade kit for [[Bruticus Maximus (ROTF)|Bruticus Maximus]], which were "fixing" the problem of the set having only two limb molds by adding two additional Basic-sized figures to the mix.
{{--}}

===Doujinshi===
Generally understood to mean fan-comics, ''doujinshi'' (同人誌) are a uniquely Japanese occurrence. Japan has a very healthy culture of fan groups who make their own manga, many of them starring original characters but a huge portion starring characters owned by companies (for a ''Transformers'' example, imagine a gag manga where [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]] is portrayed as a little child and being raised by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and the other Decepticons to be the mighty [[Emperor of Destruction]] he is in [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)#Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory|''Transformers: Victory'']]. Hijinks ensue). This would of course never fly in a litigious society like the US, but in Japan doujinshi exist in a strange gray area.<ref>[https://www.tofugu.com/japan/doujinshi-definition/ A page explaining doujinshi and why they're tolerated in Japan]</ref>

Basically, the difference between what would be understood as a fan-comic in the West and a doujinshi in Japan is that in the West (especially the US), while a company might turn a blind eye to someone making fan-comics for fun (e.g. on a site like DeviantArt), they would come down on them if they tried to put those same fan comics up for sale. [[Hasbro]] might allow (or at least ignore) people selling fanart and fan-comics at a proper ''Transformers'' convention like [[BotCon]], but might be much less forgiving if those same people tried to sell those items at, say, a general science fiction convention. Meanwhile, in Japan, there are various conventions where doujinshi are actually the key focus, such as the famous {{w|Comiket}}. A ''Transformers'' doujinshi might be sold at a ''Transformers''-related convention, but might also appear at, say, a mecha-related convention or a general science fiction-related convention (since the Transformers would fall under a mecha or science fiction category).

Long story short, [[TakaraTomy]] could complain and shut down groups making doujinshi any time they wanted, but like many Japanese companies, it appears that it simply isn't worth the hassle. People who make doujinshi are often the most hardcore of fans, and so alienating them isn't something most companies are eager to do. In addition, any victory would simply not be worth the resulting bad press, since fan groups are not exactly swimming in cash and while doujinshi are put up for sale, a lot of groups seem to just do it for love of the art or the series. Most doujinshi also receive extremely limited distribution, such as at dedicated conventions for only one or two days at a time. It should also be mentioned that many big names in manga got their starts or honed their skills in doujinshi circles, and it isn't impossible for a company to want to recruit some of these up-and-coming talents.

It, er, probably should be pointed out that some (though not all) doujinshi are very, ''very'' NSFW.

===Remarks and actions===
Official statements from Hasbro on "third party" toys are few and far between. In one response, provided as part of the company's now-defunct fansite Q&A program, they noted the illegal nature of the figures, and remarked that this kind of IP infringement was unfair to legitimate licensees who pay to produce ''Transformers'' merchandise.<ref>[http://www.tfviews.com/news/main/hasbro-q-and-a/499 TFviews Hasbro Q&A, August 2009]</ref> Hasbro did keep a binder cataloging every "third party" toy in case action needed to be taken against them.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/997302-aaron-archers-statements-toy-design-tfcon-2014-a.html "Aaron Archers statements on toy design at Tfcon 2014"] at TFW2005.</ref>

In 2015, Hasbro's UK branch distributed an online survey of the collecting habits of ''Transformers'' fans to coincide with the Auto Assembly unofficial convention, which included a surprising number of questions regarding "third party" products. In a bit of an embarrassing ''faux pas'', a Hasbro representative present at the convention itself also addressed a [[Vos (G1)|Vos]] cosplayer as "Cynicus", the name of an unofficial figure of that character.<ref>[http://waspshot23.tumblr.com/post/127569311096/ok-so waspshot23 on Tumblr]</ref>

To date, there has only been one known instance of Hasbro pursuing actual legal action against the manufacturers of "third party" toys. While such unofficial toys were banned from being sold at the dealer room at [[BotCon 2012]],<ref>This mandate initially encompassed fan art too, but this was quickly relaxed.</ref> [[BotCon 2015|2015]] and [[BotCon 2016|2016]], they generally seem to adopt a "laissez-faire" approach to such toys; while they don't officially condone such material, they're willing to allow it to exist as long as it isn't impacting Hasbro's bottom line. The one instance of Hasbro taking legal action was an unofficial toy of [[Unicron]], announced during the [[Hasbro Pulse#HasLab|HasLab]] campaign for [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron|''War for Cybertron'' Unicron]], seemingly intended to directly undercut Hasbro's big-ticket crowdfunded toy; evidently and understandably unhappy with this, Hasbro apparently intervened to have all posts about the pretender to the throne taken down from social media.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/3rd-party-not-unicron-apparently-removed-by-hasbro/43937/ 3rd Party (Not) Unicron Apparently Removed by Hasbro] at Seibertron</ref> (The company later cropped up under a new name and sold their toy unimpeded, once the HasLab had run its course.)

===Third party designs in official products and marketing===
[[File:MTMTE18 cvrB.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|IP un-infringement?]]
Beginning in the 2010s, there have been occasions where "third party" figure designs have slipped into official media. One cover for [[Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|''More than Meets the Eye'' #18]] saw [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] and [[Gears (G1)|Gears]] drawn based on unofficial figures "Rager" and "Cogz." Hasbro and [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] did not comment on this, although it seems likely that somebody somewhere might've gotten a slap on the wrist. (The artist in question has not done any comic covers since...)

Meanwhile, ''official'' third party licensee [[Imaginarium Art]]'s statues of [[Hot Rod (G1)/merchandise#Imaginarium Art|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Imaginarium Art|Devastator]] were almost entirely based on the unofficial figures "Carry" and "Green Giant"- Rodimus Prime and Devastator featured very specific proportions and sculpted body details otherwise unique to Carry and Green Giant, with Devastator's kneepads/forearms and Rodimus' unique forearm pipes being dead giveaways, not to mention Devastator's alternate head being the exact "Green Giant" sculpt. One has to assume Hasbro wasn't looking too closely, or were understandably unaware of those figures, when they signed off on these. ...Though someone noticed ''something'' since Rodimus Prime's earliest previews are [https://news.tfw2005.com/2015/12/28/imaginarium-art-rodimus-prime-statue-307242 ''direct'' copies of "Carry"] as opposed to the resculpted chest, head, and back spoiler of the final.

In what was presumably an innocent mistake that resulted from the use of a fan's personal collection, a slide shown at the Hasbro investor and press event presentation during [[Toy Fair 2016]] that represented Transformers "Spanning Generations" featured a photograph of a father and son surrounded by a variety of ''Masterpiece'' toys... and the "third party" [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] "Green Giant".<ref name="toyfair16">[http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/02/12/tfw2005-coverage-hasbro-toy-fair-2016-investor-press-event-309206 Slides from the Hasbro investor and press event presentation during Toy Fair 2016].</ref> Oops!

Although stylized, the ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]'' models for the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] are recognizably based upon the "Feralcons", one of the three notable sets of "third party" Predacons. It even leaked into their combined mode, thusly based upon "Feral Rex". Meanwhile, [[Motormaster (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Motormaster]] is modeled on the TransFormMission "Powertrain" interpretation of Motormaster's design from IDW's [[The Transformers (IDW)|2009-2011 comic series]].

[[File:LL19 vehicle modes.jpg|thumb|left|250px|IP dis-infringement.]]
The ''Earth Wars'' rendition of [[Warpath (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Warpath]] is based on one or both of BadCube "Wardog" and FansToys "Sheridan".

Similarly, ''Earth Wars'' and the ''[[Transformers: Power of the Primes (cartoon)|Power of the Primes]]'' cartoon feature models for the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] based on the Fanstoys' "Iron Dibots" figures, rather than those from the concurrent [[Power of the Primes (toyline)|toyline]].

In an odd occurrence for a game which almost exclusively employed screen models and recent toys, [[Jazz (G1)#Transformers: Forged to Fight|Jazz]] in ''[[Transformers: Forged to Fight]]'' is directly modeled on Toyworld's "Coolsville" figure.

[[E. J. Su]], fulfilling the role of guest artist for [[Crucible (Part 1): A Dance Before Dying|''Lost Light'' #19]], was not given vehicle mode references for Rodimus, Drift, Ratchet, and Chromedome. Consequently, he had to make do with googling and used alt-modes [[:File:LL19 vehicle modes.jpg|based directly]] on the Mastermind Creations "Calidus" and "Stray" figures. Ratchet and Chromedome were based on official, though inaccurate, toys of the character.

The [[package art]] for ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Sky Lynx (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Sky-Lynx]] appears to depict [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] using DX9's "legends scale" take on the character as a basis.

An [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] [[:File:BBArcee Head Revisions.jpg|design presentation]] about the 2018 ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' movie used an image of Fans Toys "Rouge" as a [[Arcee (G1)|"Generation 1" Arcee]] design reference for [[Arcee (Movie)|''Bumblebee'' Arcee]].<ref>[https://www.ilm.com/visual_development/bumblebee-developing-an-epic-set-piece/ Bumblebee: Developing an Epic Set Piece - ILM San Francisco]</ref> This is an unsurprising research method as Arcee did not receive an official ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|figure]] until 2020, with multiple unlicensed third-party companies vying for fans' attention throughout the 2010s.

Package art for ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' [[Nemesis (G1)#Legacy|Nemesis]] featured [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] in his Cybertronian "Tetra Jet" mode, based off Impossible Toy's "Prankstor".

[[Singapore Comic Con#2023|Cybertron Fest 2023]] accidentally let some third party upgrade kits slip through the cracks in its display of fan collections. Namely, in a cabinet full of Optimus Primes, ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Unite Warriors|Optimus Maximus]] has the Perfect Effect upgrade kit equipped, giving him a different pair of hands, feet, torso, and waist than the normal retail release. Not too far away, ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Thrilling 30 (2013–2014)|Thrilling 30]]'' [[Metroplex (G1)#Generations|Metroplex]] and mold-mate ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Titans Return|Fortress Maximus]] have also been seemingly upgraded, using the Unique Toys Metropolis head and Perfect Effect PC-14EX blaster (meant for [[Grand Maximus#Legends|his brother]]) respectively.

[[Daniel Warren Johnson]] uses Magic Square's 2023 "Light of Peace" Optimus as a reference when drawing him in Skybound's [[Transformers (2023 comic)|''Transformers'' comic]], on account of its poseability.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=This is the Optimus Prime figure that Magic Square put out this past year in 2023. It's an update, so it has a new head sculpt, it looks just like the movie, the '86 movie which of course has been my bible. He looks so good that you can actually like, kind of pose him, and he looks pretty dynamic. And I knew that, man, if the toy looks this cool in real life, then I can make him look really cool... like look at this, it looks great, he looks kind of alive.|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joUZgObXmU0&t=798s|name=Daniel Warren Johnson|site=YouTube|title=TRANSFORMERS Issue 1 DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY|year=2023|month=10|day=06}}</ref>

The depiction of [[Primus#One film|Primus]] in the 2024 film ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' is largely based on the 01 Studio "Seed" figure—itself based on his [[:File:UltimateGuidePrimus.jpg|''The Ultimate Guide'' design]]—particularly the details of his arms and legs.

[[File:Gravity Whoops.jpg|thumb|Move over, Green Giant! There's a new 3P Devastator in town for artists to accidentally google!]]
In [[Renegade Game Studios|Renegade Studios]]' [[Transformers Roleplaying Game|Transformers RPG]] sourcebook [[The Enigma of Combination]], a schematic intended to depict [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] instead depicts Generation Toy's unlicensed "Gravity Builder", or possibly the more widely-available upscaled Jinbao version.

===Hasbro's own copyright dodging===
[[File:CYB sonic bomber originalsculpt.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb|First party problems.]]
Despite Hasbro's own (completely understandable) aversion against people making a profit off their IP without permission, it's not like Hasbro is entirely innocent in this regard: In fact, the ''Transformers'' toys' [[alternate mode]]s being unlicensed reproductions of real-world vehicles and aircraft goes back all the way to the very first ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' toys.

While the whole market situation was still very different back in the 1980s, and car manufacturers apparently didn't start properly enforcing their intellectual properties in the field of toys and merchandise until the early 2000s, ''Transformers'' toys with [[licensed vehicle alternate modes]] are still the exception rather than the rule. The vast majority of [[popular Earth vehicle alternate modes]] are still unlicensed approximations of their real-life inspirations, basically "[[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys|not-Lamborghinis]]" or "[[Powerglide (G1)|not-A-10s]]", with a few details altered to avoid a lawsuit — though this wasn't enough in [[Side Burn (RID)#Toys|one notable case]]. [[Downshift (Energon)#Cybertron|Some]] [[Windcharger (G1)#Transformers (2010)|examples]] are a little more creative, meshing together two or more real-life inspirations to create a genuine "hybrid" design, but most are just barely altered and instantly recognizable for what they are supposed to represent. While the target audience is obviously a different one (most people who buy a Hasbro Sunstreaker do so because he represents Sunstreaker the ''Transformers'' character, not because they want a Lamborghini for their toy car collection; however, most, if not all, people who buy a "third party" version of Sunstreaker do so because he represents Sunstreaker the ''Transformers'' character), it illustrates the gray area involved.

Less of a gray area appears to be the case of the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[High Beam (G2)#Generation 2|High Beam]] (released in 1995), though: Its alternate mode looks plain ''identical'' to a vehicle from [[Mattel]]'s ''[[Hot Wheels (franchise)|Hot Wheels]]'' line that was first released in 1991 under the names "[[fandom:hotwheels:Back Burner (Cap Blastin')|Back Burner]]" and "Sonic Special", then in 1993 as the "Dragon Wagon", but would eventually become more well known in 1995 under the name "[[fandom:hotwheels:Speed Blaster|Speed Blaster]]". Unless both toys were based on the same obscure real-life concept car that has since been ''completely'' forgotten by history, that would be a ''very'' blatant case of Hasbro ''literally'' copying one of its competitor's toys and just making it transform.

Hasbro's ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' and ''[[Kre-O]]'' toylines "knocking off" [[LEGO]]'s iconic bricks cannot be considered IP infringement, however, as the technical patents for their brick-building system expired in [[1978]].

:''Scorponok is a [[Decepticon]] [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] and occasional [[Titan (group)|Titan]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Scorponok-Annual.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Scorponok's American design, taken from a British publication, based on a Japanese toy, manufactured in China.]]
Dangerous, wily, and cunning, '''Scorponok''' possesses both a keen mind and a great deal of raw, savage power. He is equally comfortable with maverick stratagems and brute force, though he's built more for the latter: his animalistic alternate form bristles with weapons, from multiple paired cannons and the dreaded electro-stinger in his tail, to the crushing grip of his mighty claws. These traits combine to make him both a terrifying foe on the battlefield and a serious contender for leadership of the Decepticons. Often, only his arch-foe [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] is capable of standing against him.

He is sometimes partnered with [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]]; this often takes the form of [[binary bonding]], where the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] Zarak becomes Scorponok's head. Alternatively, Scorponok himself can be the diminutive Headmaster who bonds with a lifeless but giant [[transtector]], in which state he is known as '''MegaZarak'''—or '''BlackZarak'''.

[[File:Scourge scorponok cyclonus marvel uk 151.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|How awesome is Scorponok? He has two guys ''from the freaking future'' on his team, that's how awesome.]]
''Some time in the past, [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] were displaced from the year [[2008]] and fell under Scorponok’s command.'' {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}} Four million years after [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] had left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Scorponok and his Decepticons levelled an Autobot city and rounded up the survivors for execution via [[smelting pool]]. However, Fortress Maximus and the Autobots ambushed the squad; driven back by their righteous fury, Scorponok ordered his men to fall back and fight another day. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}

When Scorponok's men breached Maximus's base in the [[Manganese Mountains]], they discovered that the entire complex had been abandoned. By pure coincidence, they received a transmission from the corrupt [[Nebulan]] governor [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]], who informed them that Fortress Maximus and his Autobots had recently arrived on [[Nebulos]] and requested their assistance in getting rid of the invaders—unaware of Scorponok's true nature, or his plan to conquer this new world. Once they reached the planet, ''Scorponok found himself made uneasy by the lack of visible Autobot activity and wondered if the aliens might be physically superior to the Cybertronians. These thoughts vanished when he first laid eyes upon the puny and soft Lord Zarak; now convinced that the Nebulans were completely beneath notice,'' Scorponok bullied Zarak into revealing the location of Fortress Maximus ''by roughing up the organic to assert dominance.'' {{storylink|Doomsday for Nebulos}}

[[File:LoveAndSteel-impudentfleshlings.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Upon learning that Maximus had surrendered himself and four of his followers to ensure that the other Autobots could live in peace, Scorponok and his troops laid siege to the Nebulan capital of [[Koraja]], blasting away at its newly erected fortifications when the Nebulans refused their demands to surrender the Autobots in their custody. Before the villains broke through, however, the city gates opened to reveal the five Autobots, who'd formed a [[binary bonding|binary bond]] with the native Nebulans and upgraded themselves into combat-ready “[[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s”. As [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] and [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] effortlessly penetrated Scorponok's defenses, the Decepticon leader ordered another retreat. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} {{storylink|Stylor's Story}}

Scorponok and his troops began investigating ways to dispose cleanly of their Nebulan collaborators, such as dumping them into space inside anti-gravity-powered [[polymer alloy]] bubbles. In the midst of this research, [[Apeface]] and [[Snapdragon (G1)|Snapdragon]] returned from a failed conquest, defeated by two of the Autobot Headmasters. As Scorponok berated his underlings for their failure, Zarak outlined the advantages of the Autobot Headmaster technology and eventually convinced Scorponok and five other Decepticons to undergo the process. Using Zarak's daughter [[Llyra]] as bait, the Decepticons lured the Autobots into a trap, where they encased a group of Nebulans inside the floating polymer bubbles. Zarak was overwhelmed by Scorponok's raw power and quickly forgot himself—even the sight of his own daughter in peril prompted but a moment's hesitation before Scorponok's personality reasserted himself. While the Autobots were busy saving the Nebulans, Scorponok and his troops ambushed the heroes and took them captive. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}}

[[File:Terrorcons-rollout1.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|The Terrorcons are too dumb to notice that they're hanging out with a headless dude.]]

Zarak and his allies continued their campaign to drive the Autobots off Nebulos—although he used the planet's media to spin every battle as a victory for the Nebulans, each new conflict against their foes annihilated irreplaceable Nebulon wonders, including the [[Mercury Gardens of Melanossus]], and the [[Nursery (Nebulos)|Nursery]]. In a conversation with a captive [[Galen]], Zarak admitted that Scorponok's malign influence was affecting his mind and pushing him into committing terrible deeds he'd never do otherwise. Zarak briefly broke free of Scorponok's control to free the Autobots and inform them of a distant world called “[[Earth]]”, but the Nebulan was soon back atop his partner and urging his troops onward to destruction. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

''Scorponok kidnapped [[Pointblank]], [[Crosshairs (G1)|Crosshairs]], [[Sureshot (G1)|Sureshot]] and [[Peacemaker|their]] [[Pinpointer (G1)|respective]] [[Spoilsport|partners]], ostensibly to perfect the [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] process. When the Autobot Headmasters attempted to free their comrades, Scorponok sprang his trap and abducted [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]], as it was the Headmaster process that he couldn't perfect. Scorponok was dismayed to find that Highbrow and [[Gort]]'s mental disunity matched that of his own Headmasters, but realised that the process was sound—the issue lay with the compatibility between the Headmaster partners themselves. Before he could eliminate the now-useless Highbrow, [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] rescued his comrade and drove Scorponok off.'' {{storylink|Worlds Apart!}}

''Thanks to a bug previously planted in the Autobots' headquarters, the Decepticons learned that their enemies had manufactured a [[fuel convertor]] which would allow them travel to Earth. Scorponok approached Fortress Maximus and challenged him to a death match; whoever emerged victorious would be declared triumphant in the greater conflict. In the ensuing fight, Scorponok secured an early advantage by clamping his pincers onto his opponent's leg in mid-transformation, but Maximus shook himself free and struck Scorponok's most vulnerable spot: Zarak. Scorponok transformed to robot mode to better protect his Nebulan partner, and once more grabbed Maximus in a vice. Kord turned the tables again by transforming from his Headmaster mode, and blinding Scorponok with his pistol. However, this constituted cheating by the rules Scorponok had established before the duel's start, and the Decepticon audience opened fire. It mattered little, as by this time Triggerhappy had managed to secure the convertor. The Decepticons fled and made their way off-world, forcing the Autobots to follow.'' {{storylink|The Final Conflict}}

{{note|The events in this UK story differ in significant ways to the [[The Transformers: Headmasters|Headmasters]] mini-series.}}

[[File:Scorponokpretendertothethrone.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6]]

Fortress Maximus and the other Nebulan Autobots—aware that the Decepticons would pursue them offworld and leave the benighted planet to recover—followed a distress signal to Earth. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}} By the time that they’d arrived on Earth, Zarak and Scorponok's minds had blurred together as the increasingly ruthless Zarak assumed the dominant position in their partnership—while Zarak retained his own intellect and free will, he demanded to be addressed as “Scorponok” when the two assumed their combined robot mode. This new iteration of Scorponok tracked the signal to the abandoned Autobot base inside [[Mount St. Hilary]], but found only the [[human]] [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]]. When Fortress Maximus and the Autobots returned to the cave, Scorponok took Spike hostage; in the ensuing battle, Scorponok triggered a rockfall that successfully killed Galen. To Scorponok's dismay, however, Spike took Galen's place, combined with [[Cerebros (G1)|Cerebros]] and Fortress Maxixmus, and forced Scorponok into a withdrawal. {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}}

Through stealth and subterfuge, Scorponok began establishing a beachhead on Earth: hoping to disguise the robotic natures of his soldiers, Scorponok and his followers seized control of a genetics lab and used its technology to upgrade six of his followers into [[Pretender]]s. It was during this operation that Scorponok first crossed paths with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] within a computer-simulated world, who used a paralyzing data surge to force the Decepticon leader back into his own body. {{storylink|Pretender to the Throne!}} To prepare for their eventual landing, Scorponok sent [[Skullgrin]] to Earth to establish a fuel depot. {{storylink|Monstercon from Mars!}} In an effort to wipe out the Autobots, Scorponok established the anti-Transformer [[Z Foundation]], used Zarak and the other Nebulan Headmasters to pose as frontmen, and hired the “[[Roadjammers]]" to test out some paralyzing "[[jammer]]" devices. However, when the mercenaries turned on their employers, Zarak intervened personally by transforming into Scorponok. However, the Roadjammer [[Felix]], had managed to modify the jammer to also take control of its victim's motor functions; beaten down by his own minions, Zarak's emergency “anti-jammer” freed the Decepticon Headmasters from their control but also released the Autobot prisoners they’d taken. {{storylink|Ca$h and Car-nage!}}

[[File:All in the minds.jpg|thumb|left]]

''When Scorponok sought to have [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] brainwash the Autobot [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]], his plans couldn't have gone more wrong. Mindwipe neglected to hypnotise Highbrow's partner [[Gort]], and the Nebulan managed to regain enough control of Highbrow's body to rip Scorponok's head clean off his shoulders. The sudden separation without any mental command caused both Scorponok and Zarak to black out, and Highbrow returned to base with Scorponok's head in his grip.'' {{storylink|All in the Minds!}}

''Highbrow found himself unable to kill Scorponok in cold blood despite his desire to end the threat he posed, but as he ruminated on the matter outside the Autobot base, he was attacked by a group of Decepticons who had come to reclaim the head of their leader. The chronal crisis known as the "Time Wars" soon erupted, during which Scorponok was reunited with his head and reactivated, at which point he demanded revenge for his decapitation. At this point, Highbrow had been shunted to [[Limbo]] by several other Autobots traveling from the future. Not finding himself particularly choosy over who suffered his wrath, Scorponok happily directed his anger towards Ultra Magnus instead. However, his own troops were mass-substituted to make room for a group of Decepticon time-travelers; without the bulk of his loyalists, Scorponok was forced to postpone his revenge, and joined with the various Transformers of two worlds, two factions and two eras against the fighting-mad [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. Despite his newfound allies cautioning him against leaping headlong into combat against the future Decepticon, Scorponok refused to listen. This earned him a sound beating from his opponent and forced his remaining troops to carry him away from the battlefield.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}

[[File:Predacons-ColdWar.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Scorponok leads a lot of block-colored troops into battle.]]

Not long afterwards, Scorponok was contacted by [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]], representative of another faction of Decepticons operating on Earth under the command of [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]. Scorponok immediately brought his ship to their headquarters in the [[Arctic]], only for [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]] to attack their vessel. Starscream soon arrived to smooth things over before any damage could be done, but relations were off to a rocky start. Things got worse when Scorponok revealed his partially fleshling nature to Ratbat's group, worse still as a tour of Ratbat's base seemed to be a pointless delaying tactic, and even worse when he learned of Ratbat's plan to seize the legendary power source known as the [[Underbase]]. Furious that Ratbat had clearly never intended to cooperate with his group, Scorponok attempted to lead his troops away, only to find his path barred by the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. A battle soon erupted between the two sides, and only the sight of Starscream stealing his ship in the midst of the conflict caused Scorponok to call a cease-fire. {{storylink|Cold War!}}

The arrival of the Autobots caused another battle to break out, this time with the Decepticons allied against their common foe. However, Ratbat and Fortress Maximus called for another truce and united their forces against Starscream. Together, the alliance successfully prevented Starscream from completely absorbing the [[Underbase]], but the morsel of power the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] obtained still granted him unimaginable might, and allowed him to destroy Scorponok's ship before heading back to Earth. Although Optimus Prime brought everyone aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] to discuss a strategy, but Scorponok found the idea of allying with Optimus detestable, and was subsequently disgusted by Optimus Prime's apparent cowardice in refusing to join the attack teams against Starscream as he rampaged across the planet. Scorponok was co-commander of an attack team in [[Tokyo]], where an offhand comment by [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] caused him to realize what Optimus Prime must be up to. Abandoning the fight, Scorponok returned to the Ark aboard the Autobot shuttle that had ferried him to Earth. He found that Ratbat had the same idea; the two confronted Optimus Prime, who had just launched a rocket into space to bring the Underbase to Earth.

[[File:Ratbatdarkstardeath.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Sorry, no, I'm a $40 toy. I am NOT getting upstaged by a cassette.]]

Incensed by this apparent treachery, Scorponok blasted Prime, then killed Ratbat when the other Decepticon attempted to seize the Underbase for himself. Rocketing into space, Scorponok was nearly in range of the Underbase, when Optimus Prime—now recovered and with his [[Powermaster]] partner back in place—pushed him out of its way. The two leaders watched in horrified fascination as Starscream arrived, absorbed the entire Underbase, and promptly self-destructed. An impressed Scorponok decided to prolong their truce long enough for both sides to gather up their fallen; with both Ratbat and Starscream gone, Scorponok's command of the Earthbound Decepticons was assured. {{storylink|Dark Star}} When the truce ended, Scorponok attempted to assassinate his old foe Fortress Maximus by having [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] and [[Snarler]] try to kill Spike Witwicky. {{storylink|The Man in the Machine!}} ''In return, Scorponok granted Pretender shells to them, as well as [[Catilla (G1)|Catilla]], who was monitoring the mission.'' {{storylink|Survivors!}}

''Scorponok, accompanied by Mindwipe and Weirdwolf, rendezvoused with the mercenary [[Doubledealer|Dealer]] in order to purchase Autobot battle plans the mercenary had stolen. But as they were about to depart, they were attacked by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]. "Dealer" was actually Doubledealer, and had sold them out to their enemies!'' {{storylink|(Double) Deal of the Century!}}

''Upon learning that a spare copy of Optimus Prime's mind had been stashed away in an [[Alternate Reality, Inc.]] warehouse, Scorponok tasked [[Darkwing (G1)|Darkwing]] and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] to steal it for him. He also sent off the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] to secure two armed warheads and components from an advanced guidance computer at the [[Rutter U.S. Military Base]]. Both groups succeeded in their tasks, with the [[Powermaster]]s also bringing back the Autobot [[Getaway]] and his Nebulan partner [[Rev]] as prisoners! Scorponok was happy to gloat to the pair on how his plan would culminate in Optimus Prime's demise. Using all of the stolen technology, Scorponok built a "smart missile," which would be able to track down Optimus wherever he went and avoid all obstacles that came its way. He even made sure to equip the device with a camera, so that he and his troops would be able to watch the Autobot leader's final moments! However, Scorponok made a fatal mistake in leaving Getaway unsupervised.

After finally establishing a [[New Jersey base|planetside headquarters]] outside [[New Jersey Earth)|New Jersey]], Scorponok entrusted his Pretender troops with an [[electrostator]] device and a [[Stormmaker Station]] to collect the electrical discharges of an artificially generated storm and convert them into [[energon cube]]s, but the [[Off Road Patrol]] foiled his plan. {{storylink|King Con!}} Zarak continued to function as a covert Decepticon operative, and allowed the Decepticons to counter the growing popularity of [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]] in [[New York City]]. When the Nebulan witnessed the Autobot partaking in a professional wrestling match, he combined with Scorponok and together they contacted Cybertron to summon [[Micromaster]]s of their own to meet him in the ring. {{storylink|The Interplanetary Wrestling Championship!}}

Scorponok found himself drawn into a battle at [[MacDill Air Force Base]] by his newfest recruits, the [[Air Strike Patrol]]. Announcing his arrival in no uncertain terms, he attacked the Autobots who were harassing his troops, only to have those same troops cut and run. Optimus retaliated in a cold fury that startled even Scorponok, making him realize that something bigger was at play behind the scenes. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} After the Autobot leader cooled down, he and Zarak discussed a second alliance to forestall a greater threat; remembering Prime's selfless actions during the recent Underbase crisis, Zarak hesitantly accepted the offer, before the Pretender-enhanced Starscream arrived. {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}} Though too stunned to react at first, Zarak was shaken out of his stupor by Optimus Prime and used Scorponok's weaponry to blast Starscream. The Autobots and Decepticons eventually overpowered him, and Starscream begged Scorponok to take him back under his command. {{storylink|Skin Deep|Skin Deep}} {{storylink|Fallen Star!}} Badly in need of additional troops and firepower, Scorponok agreed, but this decision proved to be very unpopular with his troops. {{storylink|The Primal Scream}} It eventually cost him the loyalty of [[Triggerhappy (G1)|Triggerhappy]] and [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]], who deserted him after Starscream went missing again. {{storylink|Eye of the Storm}}

[[File:Allthisandcivilwar-arethey.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Wildman and Baskerville, pretty well summed up in one panel.]]

Optimus Prime formally offered his surrender in hopes of making a new force to combat the Dark God [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. Although Scorponok initially planned to betray Prime's trust to bolster his own leadership position, but Prime eventually convinced him of the Chaos-Bringer's threat and persuaded him to unite their forces—just as a contingent of rebel Decepticons under [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]'s command attacked Scorponok's base. {{storylink|Surrender!}}

Scorponok arose from the wreckage of his base and quickly put down most of the rebels. His battle with Shockwave spilled into New York Harbor and across the river into Battery Park, until the arrival of Optimus, [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]], and the [[Neo-Knights]] interrupted the fight. {{storylink|...All This and Civil War 2}} Though initially scornful of the humans' efforts, Scorponok was downed by two of them and was nearly killed by [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]]. The battle came to a conclusive end when Circuit Breaker used all her power to knock out Shockwave, and Scorponok agreed to stop fighting. Suddenly, they, along with every other Transformer on Earth, were transported by [[Primus]] to Cybertron. {{storylink|Out of Time!}}

On the Transformers' homeworld, [[Primus]] spoke directly to his children and informed them that they would play a part in the final battle against his eternal nemesis, Unicron. As Armageddon loomed, Scorponok confessed his fears of dying to Optimus Prime, who reassured him that there was no shame in it. Scorponok vowed that he would be proud to go down fighting alongside Optimus... which he nearly did, when the two came under attack from a group of [[Acolyte of Unicron|Unicron cultists]]. Though Scorponok considered leaving Prime to die, his Decepticon honor convinced him to rescue his foe from certain death; despite his ferocity, Scorponok spared one of the cultists at Optimus Prime's behest. {{storylink|The Void!

[[File:Scorponok on the edge of extinction.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|He doesn't need [[Code of Hero|Shakespeare]] to tug at your heartstrings.]]

Unicron arrived at Cybertron mere seconds later, and the final battle began. Scorponok was at first paralyzed by the sheer size of their foe, and later further terrified when Optimus Prime was batted aside with ease. Suddenly faced with his own mortality, Scorponok came to a terrible realization—there ''was'' no Scorponok anymore, just Lord Zarak, a tired old man trapped inside a body that was no longer his. Despite this setback, Zarak rose to the challenge by calling upon Scorponok's Decepticon heritage, and viciously attacked the planet-eater until a stream of fire mortally wounded him. As he lay dying, Optimus took a moment to assure Zarak that he'd done well, before he finally perished. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} His still-smoldering remains were seen in the aftermath of the battle with Unicron. {{storylink|Still Life!}}

He attracted the attention of the Autobots by rampaging through a human settlement, and immediately surrendered to [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]], leader of the Autobot unit. As Autobot ethics required the protection of prisoners, Scorponok had maneuvered Hot Rod's team into fighting his battle for him.

[[File:Scorponok natural selection 1.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]

Long ago, Scorponok once faced off against [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s. Much later, while binary-bonded with Zarak, their mental symbiosis allowed the brutish Scorponok to absorb his partner's scientific expertise and, eventually, evolve into an erudite warrior-scholar. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}} After the end of the war, the Headmasters' original heads had been left behind on Nebulos, and Nebulan scientists led by [[Borx]] initiated “[[Project Lazarus]]”, an attempt to rebuild functioning bodies for the five Autobots. Despite some early setbacks, Borx remained optimistic, and integrated data from Zarak's old headquarters into a new set of bodies. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 2}}

However, Zarak had taken the precaution of implanting a ghost protocol in Scorponok's original head, still moldering in the [[Grax Communications Facility]]—when Borx attempted to decrypt his database, Scorponok reactivated, secretly took control of Project Lazarus by brainwashing the scientists, and ordered the enthralled organics to construct a new body for himself. After returning to life, Scorponok turned his attention to studying the [[CNA|Cybertronian genome]] for what Zarak once called the “warrior gene”, the genetic sequence that differentiated Autobot from Decepticon. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}}

[[File:Grimlock natural selection 1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

When Grimlock—seeking to cure himself and his fellow [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] from the effects of Nucleon—arrived at Koraja's spaceport, Scorponok ambushed the Dinobot leader and brought him to his hidden base. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 5}} After explaining the circumstances behind his resurrection and his change in personality, Scorponok made the Dinobot commander an offer: if he and his Dinobots were to join Scorponok, not only would they be spared, but they would be given new bodies; as an incentive, Scorponok even had a duplicate of Grimlock's original body prepared. However, it took weeks of captivity to finally break Grimlock; after a simulated encounter with his fellow Dinobots, shaken Grimlock relented and agreed to serve the Decepticon. Having spent the interim studying the effects of Nucleon on Grimlock's systems, a triumphant Scorponok unveiled what he called the “[[Gene Key]]”, a device that could reprogram Autobots into Decepticons by switching the warrior gene on or off. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}}

Scorponok demonstrated his Gene Key on three of the former Autobot Headmasters [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]], [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]], and [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]]. Once activated, the trio attacked Grimlock, but the newly restored Dinobot was able to disable them. Scorponok, satisfied that the Gene Key worked, ordered them to depart for Cybertron. Grimlock's shuttle arrived at the [[Cybertropolis]] Spaceport, where he was taken into custody under the orders of temporary Autobot commander [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]]. While the Autobots were distracted by Grimlock's arrival and the return of his ability to transform, a second shuttle landed in the [[Badlands (Cybertron)|Badlands]], from which Brainstorm, Hardhead and Highbrow disembarked. The altered trio made their way to the Iacon [[Civil Defense Hub]] and cleared the way for Scorponok. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Two}}
Scorponok arrived up at [[Fort Scyk]] to meet with the Decepticons there, intending to rally them to his cause. However, few were convinced by his words; when [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]] pointed out that they were under [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s command, Scorponok killed his former subordinate on the spot as a demonstration of his authority.

[[File:Scorponok natural selection 2.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2|OH, YEAH!!!!]]

With [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] still on [[Earth]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and his crew still in space aboard the ''[[Valiant (G1)|Valiant]]'', and Hot Rod searching underground for the [[Primus]] chamber, the Autobots in Iacon found themselves overwhelmed by their Key-altered brethren. Grimlock was out looking for the Dinobots when Brainstorm passed on Scorponok's order to return to the Civil Defense Hub. Back at the Hub, Grimlock demanded that Scorponok complete his side of their bargain and provide new bodies for the Dinobots, but Scorponok had other plans—at least one Autobot, [[Punch (G1)|Punch]], was immune to the effects of the Gene Key, and so Scorponok ordered Grimlock to execute him. When Grimlock rebelled, Scorponok revealed his failsafe crystal that gave him absolute control over Grimlock's new body, and incapacitated the Dinobot leader. Scorponok then communicated with [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], who had begun construction of a giant Gene Key at the [[Sonic Canyons]], one capable of converting every Autobot on Cybertron at once! {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Three}}

Scorponok headed to the Sonic Canyons to supervise the completion of the Key, where he explained his plan: when everyone on Cybertron had been converted into a Decepticon, Primus's grand plan of unity would finally come to fruition and Scorponok would receive his just due as the architect of peace. Perceptor countered this bold proclamation by suggesting that, as chaos was the natural order of things, perhaps the schism that led to millennia of civil war was ''part'' of Primus's plan all along; despite his insistence that he'd evolved beyond mindless aggression, Scorponok could barely contain his rage at being challenged. When the ''Valiant'' dropped out of hyperspace and contacted Cybertron for landing instructions, [[Pounce]] and [[Wingspan]] contacted Scorponok for direction. He had them provide the Autobot cruiser with a flight plan, then used the planetary defenses to blow the ship out of the sky. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Four}}

[[File:Grimlock natural selection 5.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]

Grimlock and [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] and their teams stormed the Civil Defense Hub, taking the control room from Pounce and Wingspan. Grapple set out to recover the data on Scorponok's new technologies, but also discovered that the incoming ''Valiant'' had been targeted by the defense systems. At the canyons, Perceptor announced another delay in the activation of the Gene Key caused by a minor technical issue, which was enough to send Scorponok into a rage and knock [[Roadblock (G2)|Roadblock]] into the canyons. Scorponok continued to rant as the other Decepticons watched with silent concern, only for Grimlock to show up on a [[sky-sled]] and attack Scorponok.

Scorponok, thrilled to have an opponent, transformed and blasted Grimlock off his sled. He then subdued Grimlock with his failsafe crystal, and ordered Perceptor to activate the Gene Key—only to discover that the Key had reverted the Autobots back to normal! As it turned out, Grimlock's betrayal went back to his encounter with Perceptor; he'd never actually used the Gene Key on the scientist, who'd merely pretended to go along with Scorponok's plan to sabotage his grand scheme. An enraged Scorponok prepared to attack Perceptor, but Grimlock jumped him from behind and ordered the Dinobots to strike. A fierce battle ensued on the bridge over the canyons—as the bridge collapsed, Grimlock refused to be rescued; the two plummeted into the canyon, grappling with one another all the while. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Five}}

After [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] was lost aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Scorponok, [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]], and [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] formed an alliance to wipe out the remaining Autobots on Cybertron. There was a degree of contentiousness between the three about divvying up personal territories, with Scorponok in particular warning Straxus not to attempt laying claim to any of the land conquered under his banner. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 3|Secrets & Lies #3}}

Scorponok was a gigantic Headmaster robot built from scratch by Lord Zarak, the secret ruler of Nebulos, upon learning of the Transformers. Working from the Headmaster process designed by the Autobot [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] and later applied to his allies in the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]] and the Decepticons, Zarak used his mental powers to reconstruct the Hive's entire city into a robotic body for him to binary bond with. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}} With Scorponok under his command, Zarak was able to retrieve the key to the Plasma Energy Chamber from the Autobots and carry the Decepticon forces back to Cybertron to reunite with Galvatron. In the end, a bolt of [[plasma energy]] zapped Scorponok in his city mode, launching the massive Headmaster (and the collected Decepticons inside) far out into space. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

Under the control of the elder Zarak, Scorponok fought countless battles against Galvatron in the hope to seize power, until he eventually passed away and bequeathed Scorponok to his son, [[Olin Zarak]]. As the new Scorponok, Olin eventually found himself under [[Cannonball (G1)|Cannonball]]’s employ. He worked as a manual laborer aboard the ''[[Tidal Wave (G1)|Tidal Wave]]'', but continued to long for glory. Worried that he suffered mental instability due to Scorponok still being attuned to his father’s brainwaves rather than his own, Olin planned to have Dr. [[Vez]] recalibrate the machine... but not until he could be sure he could fully trust the doctor. While Olin insisted that the Scorponok exo-suit was not an intelligent being in its own right, [[Tornado]] expressed doubts about this statement and swore that a malign intelligence was silently observing him from within the mechanical scorpion, even when Olin was separated from it.

After the creature from "[[Demon's Maw]]" caused serious damage to the ''Tidal Wave'', Scorponok and his band of laborers were tasked with rebuilding the ship under [[Ferak]]’s supervision. He was absent from the Star Seekers’ attack on [[Ventax II]], having instead been tasked in procuring a large energy production device from a building, but later helped Ferak upgrade the Tidal Wave's transwarp engines in anticipation for Cannonball's greatest heist; robbing Cybertron of all of its energy... in the distant future! {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur}}

After using advanced transwarp mathematics to travel through time, Cannonball led Scorponok and the Star Seekers on a raid of the future Autobot outpost Galadria to access its space bridge nexus. Warping into the heart of Unicron's severed head, Cannonball intended to use the planet-eater's systems to drain Cybertron dry of energon. During the raid, Olin discovered the Cybertronian Knight [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] spying on them, and combined with Scorponok to detain him. As more Cybertronian Knights came to oppose the Star Seekers, Brimstone lent his rail gun mode to Scorponok to ward them off. During the fight, Scorponok was knocked out by [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]] and captured alongside the rest of the crew. {{storylink|Hoist the Flag}}

Tornado's log indicated that Scorponok escaped capture by the Knights and made it back to the Tidal Wave, but Tornado opined that Scorponok may have taken that opportunity to mutiny. Although Cannonball eventually escaped and was back in control of the Tidal Wave, later logs referred to Scorponok's "former quarters". {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur}}

He refused to become a Double-Headmaster himself by allowing Flywheels to form Scorponok's head, and ended up blasted through a portal back to where he came from. {{storylink|LGEX Headmaster Set Chapter}}

[[File:Scorponok headmasters smallrobot.jpg|thumb|left|"Mine is an evil laugh! Moo hoo ha ha!"]]

Scorponok was one of a group of diminutive Transformers who left Cybertron four million years ago to escape the Great War and took up residence on the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]]. To survive the harsh environmental conditions on Master, the Transformers built large, lifeless robotic bodies called [[Transtector]]s, to which they could connect as heads, increasing their size and power. Scorponok underwent the training to become one of these "Headmasters," but he chafed under the leadership of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]], and he led several like-minded Headmaster warriors in a rebellion that ultimately ended with their defeat and exile from Master. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

[[File:Scorponok headmasters shadows.jpg|thumb|Well-manicured eeeeevil.]]
By the year [[2011]], Scorponok had teamed up with Galvatron and the Decepticons, and his three minions, [[Weirdwolf (G1)|Weirdwolf]], Mindwipe, and [[Skullcruncher (G1)|Skullcruncher]], joined Galvatron's forces in an attack on Cybertron in 2011. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Scorponok himself, on the other hand, refrained from making appearances on the battlefield, sticking to the shadows (in the most preposterously literal way imaginable) and emerging only to lure the Autobot Headmasters into a trap on the planet [[Praum]]. {{storylink|The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery}} Not long thereafter, when Galvatron discovered that [[Vector Sigma]] was in the midst of developing a powerful [[Cybertonuron|new alloy]], Scorponok advised against attacking the planet, suggesting instead that they destroy the alloy, rather than risk the Autobots gaining control of it. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} In truth, Scorponok was more concerned about ''Galvatron'' obtaining the alloy's power, and determined to stop anyone from acquiring it by taking out Cybertron itself. He had Mindwipe plant powerful bombs in Vector Sigma's chamber, which went off and devastated the planet, ostensibly taking Galvatron with it. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

[[File:Scorponok headmasters scorpionmode.jpg|thumb|left|Claws...check. Stinger...check. Multiple gun turrets...check. Giant, vulnerable weak spot dead center on the chest...check mate.]]

Scorponok subsequently took control of the Decepticons, falsely claiming that Galvatron was alive and commanding him from afar. He immediately put a series of far-reaching plans into action, starting with the creation of a massive Transtector for himself, which would put him on equal footing with Fortress and his Transtector-scum-battleship, the ''Maximus''. Enslaved [[Beastformer (species)|Beastformer]]s were put to work on the planet [[Zarak (planet)|Zarak]] to construct this Transtector, and to provide it with power, Scorponok had the Decepticons steal [[Sol 1]], a human solar-energy-gathering satellite, which beamed its power reserves to Zarak. {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}} To distract the Autobots from his plans, he ordered Sixshot to attack Earth, so the heroes would focus their efforts on defending the planet. While the construction was going on, meanwhile, Scorponok focused his attention on harnessing the power of the [[plasma energy]] released in the destruction of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}} As part of his efforts to distract the Autobots, Scorponok sent the [[buridanka]] to Earth and [[Athenia]], but was shocked when Fortress revealed his mighty transtector's robot mode to defeat it. {{Storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}}

Seeking to generate even more of plasma energy for his plans of universal conquest, Scorponok used the energy he had already obtained to create bombs that were planted beneath the surface of [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], which would rip the planet apart. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} While the Autobots were busy fighting the Decepticon contingent on Mars to prevent the planet's destruction, Scorponok unveiled his completed MegaZarak transtector to the rest of the Decepticons on [[Chaar]], stepping from the shadows for the first time as he brought all his troops aboard his new battleship-body and flew to Mars. Once there, MegaZarak transformed into [[robot mode]] and spitefully attacked the immobile Fortress Maximus before fleeing into space just before his plasma bombs detonated and blew Mars to cosmic rubble. The Maximus was able to absorb some of the energy released in the initial stages of the explosion, and Fortress was able to transform into Fortress Maximus and escape the blast. Fortress Maximus cleaved MegaZarak shoulder with his [[Master Sword]], forcing the Decepticons to retreat. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}}

[[File:Scorponok headmasters megazarak.jpg|thumb|"Hello? My visor seems to have fallen down over my face. Little help?"]]

Believing that his deeds had cemented his position of power, Scorponok arranged to be coronated the new Decepticon emperor on Earth's moon, but in the midst of the ceremony, Galvatron returned alive and well and retook leadership. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}} Subservient to Galvatron for the moment, MegaZarak and the other Decepticons once attempted to stop Autobot assistance to [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]], but failed. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}} On MegaZarak's suggestion, Galvatron had the Decepticons distract the Autobots with a trap before departing to plunder other planets for their energy. {{storylink|Daniel Faces His Biggest Crisis Ever!!}} MegaZarak transformed to robot mode to battle Fortress Maximus on [[Hive (planet)|Hive]], but the Decepticons were still forced off-planet. {{storylink|Fight to the Death on Planet Hive!!}} MegaZarak then took the Decepticons to [[Twin Star|Sperity]], but they were fooled into thinking the planet was bereft of energy and left. {{storylink|Battle for Defense of the False Planet}} They next went to [[Daros]], where they entered an alliance with the planet's decadent ruling class for energy, leaving when the Autobots and the oppressed populace joined forces to overthrow the corrupt government. It was on Daros that the Autobots met a Beastformer named [[Tekna]] who gave them valuable data about MegaZarak's weak spot at the cost of his life. {{storylink|Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!}} The Decepticons made final stops at [[Paradise]] {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}} and the [[Pirate Planet]], but were nevertheless again and again repelled by Fortress and his Autobots. {{storylink|Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship}} When the Decepticons returned to Earth, diminishing MegaZarak's immediate usefulness to Galvatron, the wicked Headmaster returned to this own schemes, ignoring Galvatron's orders {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} and planting more plasma energy bombs along the [[Pacific Ring of Fire]].

[[File:Hm26 prepare to die.jpg|thumb|left]]

Everything turned around for Scorponok when Galvatron faced the Autobot Headmasters alone in a battle in Alaska, and was finally destroyed when they collapsed an iceberg on top of him. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} This allowed Scorponok to once again seize leadership of the Decepticons, appointing himself the "Emperor of Terror" and resuming his plan for the destruction of Earth by attempting the detonation of his plasma bombs. After [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] decoded Tekna's data, he raced to Earth where a battle was already in progress and gave Fortress Maximus the information, allowing the Autobot leader to perforate MegaZarak's weak spot, and send the critically wounded Decepticon fleeing off into space. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}}

Moving his attentions away from Earth for the time being, Scorponok led the Decepticons back to planet Master in search of a weapon to counter the power of Fortress's Master Sword. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}} The Autobots pursued them, which unfortunately resulted in [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] being captured by the villains and ransomed for the secrets of the Master Sword. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Using this information, Scorponok forged the [[Zarak Shield]] out of [[G-Metal]], {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} and when the two weapons clashed, the Zarak Shield emerged triumphant. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}} Emboldened by this victory, Scorponok led the charge back to Earth, {{storylink|My Friend Sixshot!}} intending to finally destroy it, pausing only in the asteroid belt to effect repairs on his Transtector, and to betray and dispose of [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]], whom he had never trusted. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}}

[[File:HM35 Maximus unleashes power.jpg|thumb]]

Upon his return to Earth, Scorponok promptly had the Decepticon launch an energy-gathering satellite into orbit, and then withdrew to the sunken continent of [[Lemuria (myth)|Lemuria]], where he already had numerous Decepticons working to mine the legendary [[crysmagnetal]]. Scorponok raised "Death Towers" of this metal in five strategic location all over Earth all, which proceeded to generate waves of energy that were gathered by the satellite. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} For the final part of his plan, MegaZarak lured the Autobots to the North Pole, where he clashed with Fortress Maximus for the last time atop a sixth dais of crysmagnetal. As soon as the two combatants were upon the dais, MegaZarak had the satellite beam its stored energy down into his Transtector, and through it into the dais, creating an exponential loop that threatened to tear the Earth apart. Scorponok disconnected from his Transtector and retreated into space with the Decepticons to watch the Earth's destruction, only for Fortress Maximus—supercharged with the combined energy of the Autobot army united in a [[Head Formation]]—to destroy his Transtector, breaking the circuit and saving the Earth. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

====''Super-God Masterforce Master File''====
With the Decepticons at last forced off of Earth, the Autobots also left the planet, and Transformers' war transitioned into a series of space-based exchanges between Chaar and [[Athenia]], which became known as the [[Master Wars]]. To rejoin the fight, Scorponok had a new Transtector constructed, much smaller than his old one (comparatively speaking – it was still taller than a [[combiner]]), but outfitted with hyper-dense armor. Before he could connect with this new body, Scorponok was captured by the mysterious alien entity [[Devil Z]], who had been in hibernation on Earth until recently, and saw a use for Scorponok in his plan to create the ultimate lifeform. Devil Z brainwashed Scorponok, placing him, and by extension the entire Decepticon army, under his control, and then allowed him to link up with his new Transtector. Rather than forming the head for his Transtector, however, Scorponok controlled it from within its chest cavity, wired directly into its systems from there, with a new "decoy" head placed between its shoulders. Now, Scorponok was '''BlackZarak''' (ブラックザラック ''BurakkuZarakku'').

The former Decepticon ninja, [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]], learned what had befallen Scorponok, and alerted the Autobots to the existence of Devil Z on Earth. The news of this shadowy controller reached the Autobots just as the [[Trainbot]]s reported the first sighting of BlackZarak in the shadows of a meteor cluster, and the concerned Autobots decided to send a collection of Transtectors to the small Autobot group under the command of [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]] that was still on Earth, which he used to transform human beings into Autobot warriors to aid in the battle against Devil Z's forces. {{storylink|The Headmasters Now!!}}

Archive footage of Fortress Maximus destroying the MegaZarak transtector was used to educate the future [[Headmaster Junior]]s about the [[Master Wars]]. {{storylink|Birth! Headmaster Jrs}}

After numerous failures by Devil Z's forces on Earth resulted in multiple [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmaster]] warriors joining the Autobot ranks instead of the Decepticons, the incensed alien summoned BlackZarak to Earth. Observing BlackZarak's activities, Fortress Maximus's younger brother, [[Grand Maximus]], raced to Earth ahead of him and warned the Autobots of his coming. In preparation for BlackZarak's arrival, the Autobots worked to construct a power-up drone named [[Godbomber]] for their most powerful member, [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]]. {{storylink|Life? Death? The Desperate Lightfoot}} While they worked, the approaching BlackZarak bombarded the Earth with meteors as part of a complicated scheme by Devil Z's ambassadors, [[Giga]] and [[Mega]] to publicly discredit the Autobots, which was ultimately foiled. {{storylink|Expose the Decepticons' Dark Trap!}}

BlackZarak's threat loomed for a while {{storylink|Super Ginrai Gets Blown Away in the Desert!?}} and when he made his way to Earth's orbit, Giga and Mega combined into their robot form of [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] and headed to Earth's moon to rendezvous with BlackZarak. {{storylink|Will the Bomber Project Be Destroyed!?}} But before BlackZarak arrived, Ginrai merged with the completed Godbomber, and pursued him into space. BlackZarak showed up in the midst of their battle, and promptly impaled Ginrai with his [[Tyrant Spear]], sending him crashing to the moon's surface. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Into the Sky!!}} BlackZarak and Overlord followed him down to the moon, and hunted the wounded Autobot, who was in dire straits until the timely arrival of Grand Maximus. With the sides now more evenly matched, the two Decepticons attempted to break off the battle and head for Earth, but Ginrai and Grand brought them back down to the moon with a bump. BlackZarak instructed the damaged Overlord to flee the battle, and although he was furious at being ordered around by this newcomer, Overlord could do little to argue, and left BlackZarak to face the two Autobots alone. Grand and Ginrai double-teamed BlackZarak, and eventually, Ginrai was able to decapitate the Decepticon with his God Fire Guts attack. Although Ginrai thought his opponent was done for, BlackZarak's headless body hauled itself back up, and retreated off into space, with Grand Maximus hot on his tail. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Showdown on the Surface of the Moon}} The defeat of both Overlord and BlackZarak upset the Earth-bound Decepticons, who swore vengeance on Ginrai. {{storylink|Overlord - Terror of the Chōkon Tornado}} Footage of BlackZarak's battle on the Moon eventually made its way to [[Clouder]]'s hands, who used it as impetus to join the conflict. {{Storylink|Appearance!! The Final Godmaster}}

[[File:Blackzarak scorpion mode.jpg|thumb|The scorched remains of two fans who wouldn't stop asking why Devil Z made so many Autobot Transtectors.]]

During this extended stay in space, BlackZarak mastered localized gravity manipulation and gained the ability to open black holes, which he could use to teleport himself across the galaxy at will. After trapping Grand Maximus inside one of these singularities in order to keep him out of the way, BlackZarak teleported directly to Earth and immediately tore through [[New York City]] as part of Devil Z's "Operation M-1". He proceeded to attack [[Tokyo]] alongside Overlord, but was foiled when Ginrai freed Grand Maximus, and the two Autobots stopped the villains by tricking them into blasting each other. {{storylink|BlackZarak - Destroyer from Space}} With the failure of this scheme, Devil Z initiated "Operation M-2" and had BlackZarak withdraw to the far side of the moon, where he would unleash the atmosphere-destroying [[Death Para-Machine]] against the Earth. Thankfully, BlackZarak was only able to get off one shot from the deadly weapon before Ginrai destroyed it with his God Fire Guts attack. {{storylink|Crisis! The Day of Human Extinction}}

[[File:Blackzarak dakatsu mode.jpg|thumb|left|A dog chasing its own tail has nothing on Hydra Mode.]]
BlackZarak returned to attacking cities around the globe, and soon struck in a city where [[Cancer (G1)|Cancer]] went to, with a trio of [[Sparkdash]] drones to back him up. Luckily, Autobot Godmaster [[Road King]] was on patrol in the area, and soon called in Ginrai to help him take BlackZarak down. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}} When the Decepticons formulated a trap, BlackZarak was sent to [[Moscow]] as part of a divide and conquer strategy. {{storylink|God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base}} After battling Grand Maximus there, BlackZarak returned to the Decepticon base when the Autobots attacked it. During this clash, Devil Z took his brainwashing to the next level, and actually merged his consciousness with BlackZarak, entering his body and taking control of it himself. For his first act in BlackZarak's body, Devil Z collapsed the Decepticon base in a failed attempt to destroy the Autobots {{storylink|The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}} and then led the Decepticons in an attack on North America, bombarding the country with his [[Devil Power]] from a strategic staging point in the heart of the [[Grand Canyon]], {{storylink|Battle to the Death!! God Ginrai VS Darkwings Reborn}} continuing till Devil Z ordered the Decepticons to move to Europe. {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}}

Devil Z took the Decepticons to the peak of the Matterhorn, where he unleashed his Devil Power upon the continent until God Ginrai arrived to challenge him. {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} The battle was fierce, and Ginrai thought he had won when he once again cleaved BlackZarak's head from his shoulders, but the decapitation of his host meant little to Devil Z, who simply transformed BlackZarak's body into a new, twin-headed serpent form, and kept the fight going. Uniting his Chōkon Power with that of the [[Headmaster Junior]]s, Ginrai unleashed his most powerful God Fire Guts yet and dove through BlackZarak's body, finally destroying the giant Decepticon in a huge explosion that left only ash and shrapnel. Although Devil Z survived the blast, he now no longer had BlackZarak's body to enclose him, and was wide open for Ginrai's finishing move: the Final Fire Guts, which utterly obliterated the evil alien. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

====''Legends'' comic====
[[File:BonusGrandMaximus-BlackZarak.jpg|thumb|Tell him to stick a fork in it at your own peril.]]

Years prior to his departure from Master, Scorponok kidnapped six of his fellow 'bots and exposed them to a sample of plasma energy in search of a method to use the energy to power himself up. The experiment was interrupted by Fortress, marking the beginning of Scorponok's open rebellion against him. He tried to recapture his test subjects on his return to Master, prompting them to flee and end up becoming Targetmasters. {{storylink|Mutant Targetmaster Birth Chapter}}

[[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] told [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], visiting from the [[Legends World]], the story about how he and other diminutive Transformers, including Scorponok, left Cybertron to escape the war and settled on Master. He then destroyed a returned Scorponok's Transtector with a powerful blast as proof that despite their size, life on the inhospitable planet had only made them stronger. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 9|Bonus Edition Vol. 9}} Reflecting on his easy victory over such a mighty opponent, Brainstorm would later realize he had been temporarily powered up by Rattrap's presence. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 39|Bonus Edition Vol. 39}} [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] would later mention that the Autobot Headmasters needed to train in case recent rumors that Scorponok had returned again were true. {{storylink|Transformers 2015 Brainstorm Chapter#Part 1|Brainstorm Chapter Part 1}}

By [[2021]], Scorponok did indeed reveal himself to have the battle with Brainstorm and continued his feud with the Autobots. Consumed by his lust for revenge against Fortress, he detonated a [[black hole]] in order to both destroy the Autobots and produce plasma energy for himself, indifferent to the fact that his own troops were in range of the explosion. His plan failed as the Autobots were able to recover much of the explosives, causing the black hole to instead divide into "[[black ball]]s" that infested the bodies of everyone present. {{storylink|Headmaster Chapter Prologue}} While his troops traveled to the [[Legends World]], Scorponok remained in the [[G1 World]] and wandered space. Devil Z, resurrected in the Legends World, remotely brainwashed him and had him return to Beast and enslave Beastformers to build two new transtectors. This resulted in a new BlackZarak as well as the gigantic [[Majin Zarak]], a beast so gigantic Scorponok didn't even form part of it but piloted it like a vehicle. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One|Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One}}

When Devil Z was resurrected, Weirdwolf recalled with resentment how they'd lost BlackZarak to him. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 35|Bonus Edition Vol. 35}} Devil Z also remembered how he had taken control of BlackZarak, and repeated the trick by wiring [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] into the chest of the [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] Transtector while he himself controlled it from the head. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 36|Bonus Edition Vol. 36}} When Devil Z broke free from his restraints in the Legends World, he brought the brainwashed Scorponok and BlackZarak transtector to the Legends World and reformed the hybrid Devil Z/BlackZarak being. Devil Z attempted to kill every living thing in the Legends World so that he could use its native energies all for himself, but he was stopped in his tracks by [[Grand Maximus]] and the [[Masterforce (technology)|Masterforce]] users residing in the Legends World. Devil Z and the BlackZarak transtector were destroyed at the battle's conclusion, although Scorponok was spared. {{Storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Grand Maximus)|Bonus Edition Grand Maximus}}

Freed from Devil Z's influence, Scorponok immediately thought of a plan to produce energy by using the plasma-infused [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] partners as bombs to blow up the Legends World. In order to keep the world's defenders busy, he brought over Majin Zarak and began causing chaos while his troops abducted the Targetmasters. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One|Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One}} While his creation seemed unbeatable, sabotage at the hands of Beastformers allowed the defenders of the Legends World to force Majin Zarak and Scorponok through a dimensional portal, causing them both to disappear to some unknown location. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger!

Several years after the conclusion of the [[Masterforce War]], when the supernatural entity [[Violengiguar]] seized control of the Decepticons, one of his first actions was to recruit "[[Nine Great Demon Generals]]" from Decepticon history. Violengiguar assigned BlackZarak to serve as his "Evil Spirit General", and outfitted him with new armor and weapons to make him more deadly than ever before. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} Along with the other Generals, BlackZarak schooled [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]] and the [[Metrosquad]] in the ways of evil, making them formidable opponents for the [[Powered Master]]s. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 7}}

BlackZarak was part of the team of generals who attacked planet [[Micro|Zone]] in order to steal its precious [[Energon Z]] for Violengiguar's schemes, but BlackZarak refrained from participating in the assault, hanging back on the fringes of the planet's atmosphere to cover his allies' rear. As his fellow generals made good their escape with the Energon Z in hand, BlackZarak barred the way of the [[Super Car Patrol Team]] and [[Battle Patrol]] as they attempted to pursue in the [[Rocket Base|Galaxy Rocket]]. The Demon General managed to trap the rocket in a crackling field of electricity, and then departed to rejoin his fellow Decepticons, leaving the electric net to slowly destroy the rocket. Luckily for the Autobots, the [[Jet Patrol Team]] arrived to destroy the net, and [[Sunrunner (G1)|Sunrunner]] proceeded to use his radar to track BlackZarak back to the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

BlackZarak later attacked Earth, and met resistance in the form of [[Landshaker]] and [[Sky Hyper]]. BlackZarak seized Landshaker, easily shrugging off Skyhyper's blasts, but was suddenly stunned by a barrage from [[Sonic Bomber (G1)|Sonic Bomber]], as he and Dai Atlas came swooping onto the battlefield. Exploiting the opening, Dai Atlas fired on BlackZarak, proving once again that the Autobots' desire to save their comrades would always best the Decepticons' evil. {{storylink|Fight!

When it became apparent that the small force under his command on Earth lacked the manpower to handle the Autobots, Devil Z chose to unite them with the Decepticons in space, and ordered the combined army to attack Athenia. Ginrai (who was on the planet at the time to be appointed Supreme Commander of the Autobots) was able to win the battle by defeating [[Scramble 7]], but after the fight, BlackZarak made his first appearance before the Autobots, carrying Hydra, Buster and the Decepticon Headmasters, who announced that they were returning to Earth. {{storylink|The Battle Begins! The Earth-Space Alliance Army}}

[[File:Devilz head on!.jpg|thumb|left|Head? I don't need a head. Heads are for wimps!]]

BlackZarak joined the Decepticons in travelling to Earth, battling [[Raiden]] and the Autobot Headmasters outside the planet's atmosphere while Ginrai confronted Overlord for the first time down on its surface. After defeating his opponents, BlackZarak turned towards Earth, only to find Ginrai streaking towards him, with Overlord in close pursuit. At the last moment, Ginrai spun out of the way, causing the two Decepticons to accidentally strike each other, and damage one another quite badly. While the wounded Overlord returned to Earth, BlackZarak limped back off into space. {{storylink|God Ginrai's Amazing Divine Combination!}}

BlackZarak later battled Grand Maximus and the Autobot Godmasters in space, with the aid of [[Darkwings]], {{storylink|The Good and Evil Families of Earth}} after which Devil Z spirited him away to carry out some upgrades. {{storylink|The Decepticons' Great Counterattack!}} These upgrades complete, BlackZarak was soon returned to Earth, and joined Overlord in attacking another city, where he wound up battling Grand Maximus and the Autobots Godmasters once more. {{storylink|Life or Death? The Desperate Divine Combination!}} Later, BlackZarak attacked China with a trio of [[Sparkdash|Sparkdash drones]]. Decepticon Headmaster Junior [[Cancer (G1)|Cancer]] happened to be in the city at the time, and when the Autobots arrived to battle BlackZarak, he displayed his disdain for humans—even comrades—by seizing Cancer and using him as a shield to keep the Autobots at bay. It was then that Overlord arrived, and surprised everyone by viciously attacking BlackZarak, disgusted by his treatment of Cancer. While the two Decepticons were fighting, the Autobots exploited their conflict to attack and force them to retreat. {{storylink|The Great Turnabout of the Autobots}}

Overlord's betrayal proved to be the last straw for Devil Z, and he took matters into his own hands by connecting himself to BlackZarak's Transtector as a new head of sorts. Now in control of the Decepticon's body and mind, he transformed BlackZarak into a new serpentine form, and attacked Overlord, the Headmaster Juniors and Ginrai, intending to absorb their [[Chōkon Power|Jinchōkon]], in order to transform himself into the ultimate lifeform. His Jinchōkon-absorbing beam was blocked by the wholly-robotic Autobot [[Pretender]]s, and the Autobots and Decepticons united to destroy Devil Z and BlackZarak for good. Uniting their powers in the "Perfect Transform Attack", all the Autobots and Decepticons boarded Grand Maximus, who collided with BlackZarak, destroying the Decepticon and his alien passenger in an explosion of pure Chōkon Power. {{storylink|The Birth of the Super Life-Forms}}

Years after the end of the Masterforce War on Earth, the creature known as [[Violengiguar]] took control of the Decepticon forces and created an elite fighting force by recruiting "[[Nine Great Demon Generals]]" from throughout Transformer history. BlackZarak was selected to be one of these generals, and Violengiguar used his strange, supernatural powers to bring the Decepticon back from the dead, dubbing him his "Evil Spirit General" and increasing his strength with new armor and weaponry. {{storylink|Fight!

BlackZarak was part of the contingent of generals sent to planet Zone to steal its super-energy, Energon Z, for Violengiguar. After his fellow Decepticons succeeded in purloining the Energon Z, BlackZarak covered their escape, seizing the Galaxy Rocket carrying the pursuing Autobots in an unbreakable grip. He proceeded to coat the rocket in a cocoon of strange energy webbing and then departed to join his fellow generals, but fortunately for the Autobots, the Jet Patrol Team arrived to cut them free before they lost BlackZarak's trail. {{storylink|Fight!

He matched wits with Optimus Prime himself, at one point trying to lure him into surrendering in exchange for a hostage's life. {{storylink|Autobot Hostage}} Eventually, the Autobots became too big a nuisance, and Scorponok had the Decepticons move en masse to a secret underground city in the Nebulos Triangle, but this backfired when the Autobots sealed him and his army underground for good. {{storylink|Decepticons Underground}}

Seeking a new [[Energon]] source, the Decepticons flew Scorponok to an out-of-the-way asteroid, where he served as a base of operations. When a fight inevitably broke out, Scorponok flew to the battle scene. After he picked up [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and tossed the Autobot into the distance, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] angrily bodyslammed him, and the pair began grappling. {{storylink|The Test (issue)|The Test}}

Scorponok, accompanied by [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cyclonus]] and [[Octane]], intercepted [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]], as the Autobot was heading for [[Andellor]]. Scorponok threatened to destroy the Autobot unless he revealed where he was headed. Cosmos complied, but Scorponok was keen on destroying him anyway. Cyclonus insisted they investigate, and recalled the history of Andellor. Scorponok realised that the [[Prism of Power]] which Cosmos sought was the only thing that could stop the Decepticon's new weapon, the [[suspension-ray beam]]. Down on the planet, the three Decepticons ventured into a cave and were attacked, first by some tentacles from a pool, and finally by [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]]. Ironhide shrugged off Scorponok's mightiest blast, and defeated both him and Cyclonus. {{storylink|Transformers in 3-D issue 2|Transformers in 3-D #2}}

After the [[Clone (subgroup)|Clone]]s failed to obtain the coordinates to [[Metascan Alpha]], Zarak mocked Galvatron's skills and, combining with Scorponok, reasserted that he was leader of the Decepticons now. While the pair were still in disagreement, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] broke into their base with the intention of destroying Galvatron's [[Nullification Cannon]].

Eventually, Scorponok became a leading figure in the Decepticon army, but in order to maintain his standing he assumed a brutish, one-dimensional persona, hiding his misgivings about the war. This continued until the war reached the planet Nebulos. While there, Scorponok binary bonded with the corrupt politician Zarak. However, Zarak's grief at the devastation which had been brought to his planet stirred up sentiments in Scorponok he'd presumed were long buried. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye #5}}

Scorponok was a rare [[Point One Percenter]] with an abnormally strong green spark. {{storylink|Remain in Light 1 of 5: The Fecund Moon|The Fecund Moon}} Originally Scorponok was one of the many [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiator]]s who inhabited [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]]; in the past, he'd fought the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobot]] leader [[Grimlock (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Grimlock]] in the ring, and considered him one of the greatest gladiators on the planet. {{storylink|Rage (IDW)|Rage}} Like many other gladiators, Scorponok joined [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s burgeoning "Decepticon" movement, but didn't share his leader's desire to create an equal society—in Scorponok's ideal world, the strong ruled unchallenged and the weak were culled. {{storylink|Unleashed}}

When Megatron fell in his first battle against [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], Scorponok usurped his role as [[Decepticon leader]] and banished his predecessor to the deadly planet [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]]. {{storylink|Derelicts}} Most Decepticons initially accepted this change in management, but [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gar]] and his [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] were disappointed that he'd failed to kill Megatron and set out to finish the job, leaving Scorponok with the promise that they'd deal with ''him'' afterwards. {{storylink|Wreckage (issue)|Wreckage}} Scorponok's first goal as leader was to break up Optimus Prime's [[Grand Convocation]] by cutting them off from the planet's last major source of [[energon]], forcing them to fight among themselves, and undermining their support for Optimus and the Autobots. When his strike force arrived to conquer [[Toraxxis mega-refinery]], they stumbled across Grimlock and the Dynobots robbing energon for themselves, who triggered the plant's alarms and summoned Autobot reinforcements. {{storylink|Faces of Darkness}}

[[File:Scorponok monstrosity.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Scorponok pursued Grimlock into the refinery to kill him, but was overwhelmed when the Dynobot lost his temper and transformed into a monstrous [[cyber-morphic predator]]. Desperate to avoid arrest, Grimlock threatened to blow up the entire complex, which Scorponok encouraged—when Grimlock relented, Scorponok leapt into the refinery's fusion regulator and deactivated it. {{storylink|Rage (IDW)|Rage}} Although thousands of Cybertronians perished in the ensuing explosion, Scorponok survived and encouraged his remaining troops to scavenge parts from the "weaklings" who'd died—when one of his men protested that Megatron would never have stooped to such ghoulish behaviour, Scorponok angrily crushed his head for daring to bring up their past leader. {{storylink|Fallout (issue)|Fallout}}

The destruction of the Toraxxis triggered a [[Exodus (event)|mass exodus]] of neutrals, and Scorponok, disgusted by their cowardice, sent troops to [[Starsreach Spaceport]] to show the evacuees that there was no escape. {{storylink|Massacre}} Learning that the Autobots had discovered the sleeping giant [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] beneath the ruins of Toraxxis, Scorponok ordered his Decepticons to carpet-bomb the area until they destroyed the seals keeping Trypticon down—the Decepticon leader hoped that Trypticon's rampage would wipe the slate clean and allow Scorponok to rebuild Cybertron in his own twisted image {{storylink|Unleashed}} In [[Kolkular]], Scorponok sat back to enjoy Trypticon's rampage from afar until [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] informed him that he was needed in the fortress's main hall... where he found a furious Megatron, freshly returned from his exile. Megatron easily trounced his foe; ignoring his pleas for mercy, Megatron unceremoniously shot Scorponok in the head and threw him over to the Terrorcons. As he retook his rightful place as leader of the Decepticons, Megatron ordered Hun-Gar and his followers to keep Scorponok alive... and in agonizing pain. {{storylink|The Illusion of Control}}

[[File:SpotlightUltraMagnus Scorponok refinements.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]

During the war, Scorponok once stole a consignment of [[solar agitator]]s from an installation under Dynobot protection. {{storylink|Spotlight: Grimlock}} Half a million years ago, while in the [[Manganese Mountains]], he fought a unit of Autobots that included [[Shimmerstick]], [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Chromedome]] and [[Rewind (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rewind]]. {{storylink|The Custom-Made Now - An Elegant Chaos Prologue|The Custom-Made Now}} As the war spread across the galaxy, Scorponok began deliberately violating the non-interaction accord of the [[Code of Interplanetary Conflict]]. His traditional modus operandi was to establish contact with amoral aliens on technologically advanced worlds, develop new hybrid technologies, then eliminate his "partners' when he had what he wanted. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]] had been seeking him for some time. On the planet [[Nebulos]], Scorponok found such a partner in [[Zarak (G1)|Mo Zarak]], head of the [[Zarak Consortium]], front for a cabal of renegade scientists. With Scorponok's input, the self-proclaimed "Cranium" began augmenting Nebulan test subjects—including Zarak himself—with Cybertronian technology before Ultra Magnus tracked him down. Although Scorponok quickly got the upper hand against the Autobot, Zarak ran out, begging Scorponok not to fire lest he destroy what they built together. Unable to abort his shot, Scorponok accidentally killed Zarak; though horrified by his own actions, Scorponok barely survived a direct shot to the head as he staggered to an artificial wormhole generator and escaped. {{storylink|Spotlight: Ultra Magnus}}

[[File:Devastation6 Scorponok liveagain.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|That must have been one hell of a stag night.]]

Shortly after Optimus arrived on [[Earth]], Ultra Magnus contacted him to report that he'd found new lead on Scorponok's whereabouts. {{storylink|Spotlight: Optimus Prime}} At some point over the intervening twenty years, the wounded Scorponok—reduced to little more than a damaged, disconnected head—had relocated to Earth to continue his hybridization experiments. Using a [[human]] collaborator named [[Abraham Dante]] as his front man, Scorponok established an underground organization [[Machination]]. As he sought to restore his body, Scorponok and his scientists developed the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] process that would allow cybernetically augmented humans to control Cybertronian bodies. Dante sent agents out into the field to locate the Autobot and Decepticon bases and conceived tactical scenarios for forcibly acquiring a Transformer as a "guinea pig" before Scorponok underwent the process himself. The discovery of [[Ore-13]] accelerated the conflict on Earth, and, in response, the Machination accelerated their own plans. {{storylink|Infiltration issue 4|Infiltration #4}}

When the Autobots [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Sunstreaker]] next left the ''[[Ark-19]]'' in [[Lake Michigan]], Machination agents surprised them on the highway and kidnapped Sunstreaker, leaving behind a heavily scrapped replica to throw any pursuers temporarily off the scent. As a bonus, they picked up Sunstreaker's human passenger, [[Hunter O'Nion]]. {{storylink|Escalation issue 1|Escalation #1}} Taking advantage of the situation, Scorponok and Dante attempted to have Hunter brainwashed and subjected him to the same bio-mechanical engineering as their own agents. {{storylink|Escalation issue 5|Escalation #5}} From Sunstreaker, the Machination began manufacturing an army of reverse-engineered [[Sunstreaker clone]]s, each with their own Headmaster pilot, networked together through Sunstreaker's severed head. {{storylink|Escalation issue 6|Escalation #6}} Meanwhile, Abraham Dante underwent the Headmaster process himself; the two of them binary bonded just in time to test-drive their union against Hunter O'Nion, who had managed to shake off their brainwashing attempt and was trying to escape the Machination compound. Despite his renewed size and power, Scorponok failed to prevent Hunter from binary-bonding with one of the Sunstreaker drones and escaping the Machination. {{storylink|Devastation issue 6|Devastation #6}}

[[File:SpotlightGrimlock-introducemyself.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]

Dante and Scorponok were of like mind—so alike, in fact, that shortly after undergoing the Headmaster process they already considered themselves one being. Upon learning that the clandestine government group known as [[Skywatch]] had taken Grimlock captive, the combined Scorponok-Dante entity called on their mole [[Kloss]], who planet a virus into Grimlock and freed him from their control. Soon enough, Grimlock escaped, and Scorponok met Grimlock with an offer of an alliance for world conquest. Grimlock refused, and Scorponok triumphed in the ensuing fight. Before he could deliver the final blow, however, Grimlock escaped by teleporting to the still-functional ''[[Skyfire (ship)|Skyfire]]'', while Scorponok planned to destroy Grimlock by taking control of the other Dynobots. {{storylink|Spotlight: Grimlock}} Once his agents had ensured Skywatch had reprogrammed the Dynobots so that he could remotely control them, Scorponok arranged for Grimlock to be orbital-bounced to [[Fallon]], [[Nevada]]. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 1|Maximum Dinobots #1}} When Skywatch turned up with the Dynobots, he engineered a massive, destructive fight, a setup that would discredit Skywatch, allow his Headmasters to "save the day", and secure lucrative anti-Transformer defense contracts from the panicked US government. While his attempt to exploit the Dynobots' internal divides failed, he successfully beat [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Hot Rod]] half to death as he explained his plan to the defeated Autobot. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 2|Maximum Dinobots #2}}

[[File:MaxDinobots 4 beast scorponok.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Eventually, Scorponok lost control of the Dynobots and sent in his army of Headmasters to annihilate everyone, only for the newly arrived [[Monsterbot (G1)|Monsterbot]]s to turn the tide. Scorponok ordered his soldiers to terminate the bemused Hot Rod, but the young Autobot set his guards ablaze and escaped the compound. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 3|Maximum Dinobots #3}} As Hot Rod broke out, Sunstreaker—now binary-bonded to Hunter to replace his real head—broke in to try and find a way to reverse the process; though Scorponok blasted him through the chest, Hunter escaped as the Monsterbots laid siege to the Machination compound and took out its defenses. A furious Scorponok ordered a full recall of all Headmasters to attack the Dynobots, but Hunter severed his connection to the network and disabled all the Headmasters. A furious Scorponok began to take revenge on Grimlock, until [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], ''also'' seeking vengeance against the Dinobot, arrived. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 4|Maximum Dinobots #4}} The two Decepticons fell to fighting, but when Shockwave, calculating that the Headmaster process had impeded Scorponok's mental fortitude, gained the upper hand, he allowed Scorponok to retreat before he turned his attention back to Grimlock. Scorponok caught Hot Rod trying to sever the connection with his real head, so he thought he'd take out his frustrations by squeezing the life out of Hot Rod. However, [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] severed the connection himself and rendered Scorponok helpless. When Ultra Magnus finally responded to Hot Rod's distress message, he took Scorponok into custody and brought down the Machination for good by ordering the Autobots to remove any and all Cybertronian technology. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 5|Maximum Dinobots #5}}

[[File:Chasing the Infinite - Scorponok with Magnificence.jpg|thumb|left|"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."]]
The wounded Scorponok was imprisoned on [[Garrus-9]], where he received a new head and a smaller body. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (issue)|The Ties That Bind}} Although his new body lacked Headmaster technology, some vestige of Dante's consciousness persisted in his mind. {{storylink|Kill All 'Cons}} During the [[Surge (event)|Surge]], the Decepticon [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] seized control of the prison. Fellow inmate Shockwave cut a deal with Overlord—in exchange for curing his [[Achilles virus]], he'd receive his freedom, a ship, and a hand-picked crew of Decepticons to accompany him offworld. Shockwave chose Scorponok, among others, to accompany him—what they didn't know was that Shockwave had specifically picked them because they were on the Decepticon Justice Division's List; when the DJD caught up with them, Shockwave attempted to bargain away the rest of his crew in exchange for his own life. Rather than stick around to be a bargaining chip, Scorponok and fellow crewmembers [[Flame (Marvel)|Flame]] and [[Flywheels]] blasted themselves out an airlock to escape. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (issue)|The Ties That Bind}} Scorponok and Flame became separated from Flywheels as they drifted helplessly through space; they were soon found and recruited by a mysterious entity who called himself the "[[Adaptus|Grand Architect]]". {{storylink|Kill All 'Cons}}

Although Scorponok secured a high-ranking generalship in this new hierarchy, {{storylink|Crucible (Part 2): Lūstrāre|Lūstrāre}}, he cared little for the Architect's enigmatic agenda and found himself quite frustrated at never being told his mysterious master's identity or full plan, beyond using five duplicate Cybertrons to create a [[God Gun]] that would trap a great enemy in a parallel universe. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 3): Farsickness|Farsickness}} Scorponok helped co-ordinate and oversee various experiments that the Architect's agents were conducting in secret locations around the galaxy, attempts to artificially engineer the ultimate Cybertronian lifeform that yielded strange lifeforms like the wooden "[[Treecon]]s" and the multi-changing "[[Infinite]]s". {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (issue)|The Ties That Bind}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 3): Farsickness|Farsickness}}. Realizing that the ancient source of knowledge known as the [[Epistemus|Magnificence]] could aid in this objective, Scorponok utilized the transwarp tunnels of the [[Warren]] to abduct Grimlock—who had had the talisman implanted in his chest for safekeeping—from his cell on Garrus-9 and transported him to the planet [[Corritan]]. After a protracted period of physical and mental torture, Scorponok forced Grimlock to surrender the Magnificence and dumped his broken body in a [[stasis pod|stasis tube]] on board a [[Worldsweeper]]-class starship. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (issue)|The Ties That Bind}}

[[File:KillAllCons ScorponokWithLilBaby.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9|Deactivation Stranding]]
In secret, Scorponok diverted some of the Architect's resources towards experiments of his own—his attempts to revitalize his increasingly stagnant race led to the development of "Project: Firstborn", an attempt to implant a Cybertronian [[spark]] into an organic lifeform. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (issue)|The Ties That Bind}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 3): Farsickness|Farsickness}} Scorponok somehow lost possession of the Magnificence, but picked up its trail again in 2017 when the [[Catharsian]] [[Mengel]] contacted him with the news that she'd successfully brought one of the Infinites to term in her lab on [[Troja Major]]. Realizing that she must have used the Magnificence to accomplish this feat, Scorponok sent troops to collect the Infinite, recover the Magnificence, and begin the elimination of all the Grand Architect's agents—with the means to mass-produce Infinites in their grasp, the Grand Architect's clandestine operatives were loose ends to be disposed of. Upon being presented with the Magnificence, Scorponok scoffed at Mengel's lack of ambition regarding the relic's powers. {{storylink|Chasing the Infinite}}

Further usage of the Magnificence revealed the device was continuing to evolve and was now capable of scanning Cybertronian brains and choosing whether or not to answer. However, due to his unique brainwave patterns—a relic of his severed Headmaster bond with Abraham Dante—Scorponok could bypass this layer of security and force the Magnificence to tell him whatever he wanted. Using the Magnificence, Scorponok advanced his own agenda by extracting [[Rat-a-Tat-Tat]]'s spark and grafting it into an artificially engineered organic he dubbed the "[[Firstborn]]", which would hopefully revitalize the Decepticon race via sexual reproduction; until that day, he carried her gestation pod inside his own chest compartment. {{storylink|Kill All 'Cons}}

[[File:TheTiesThatBind ScorponokVScavengers.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.6|Huh, are they in [[Qatar]]?]]
Scorponok's private Worldsweeper landed on [[Confluence]] where a battery of disguised [[Treecon]]s kept watch for intruders. When the [[Scavengers (G1)|Scavengers]] arrived on Confluence and dispatched the Treecons, Scorponok ambushed the group and remotely disabled Grimlock before imprisoning the group on his ship. After confirming that the Scavengers ''weren't'' working for his enemy, Scorponok waited until the Scavengers had pried open Grimlock's chest compartment, then made a dramatic entrance so that he could explain the story behind Grimlock and the Magnificence. Once he'd determined that the Scavengers were completely expendable, Scorponok reactivated Grimlock in the hopes that the brain-damaged Dinobot would eviscerate his erstwhile allies. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (issue)|The Ties That Bind}}

Scorponok learned that the now-lucid Grimlock, who'd seemingly murdered his Decepticon allies, was demanding an audience with him. Amused, Scorponok gloated to his old rival about the Magnificence before the Scavengers—who'd faked their deaths to catch Scorponok off-guard—turned the tables on their captor and seized the Magnificence to learn Scorponok's true plan. Unwilling to have his thunder stolen, Scorponok unveiled the Firstborn and explained his plan to replenish the Decepticon faction—in exchange for killing Grimlock, Scorponok offered to make the Scavengers his generals, only for the group to refuse the offer. In response, Scorponok began harvesting their sparks before [[Nickel]] use a pre-recorded message of [[Tarn (G1)|Tarn]]'s voice to paralyze him while the Scavengers stole the Firstborn and ran off. {{storylink|Kill All 'Cons}} Losing his experiment and the Magnificence prompted Scorponok to question remaining at the Architect's side. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 3): Farsickness|Farsickness}}

[[File:LL-21-AdaptusStabsScorponok.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|"Did...''kuuu''...I do...''bad''?"]]
As the Grand Architect's plans neared completion, the [[Phantom Fleet]] travelled to [[Mederi]] where they clashed with the ''[[Lost Light]]''. Captain [[Getaway]], pledged loyalty to the Architect by turning over his crew to Scorponok, who mutated them into [[Sparkeater (creature)|sparkeaters]]. Remaining aboard the ''Lost Light'', Scorponok was soon reunited with Hot Rod—now calling himself Rodimus—whom he once again trounced; before he could execute his old foe, [[Solomus|Tyrest]] teleported him away. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 2): Lūstrāre|Lūstrāre}}

Back aboard the flagship, Scorponok teleported a [[geobomb]] into Mederi before noting that the enemy the Grand Architect had prepared so long to face had failed to present himself. When the [[Black Block Consortia]] prepared to kill [[Team Rodimus (G1)|Team Rodimus]], Scorponok eagerly watched only for the Architect to instead imprison them. His patience finally exhausted, Scorponok ordered [[Sunder (G1)|Sunder]] to use his remote [[mnemosurgery]] abilities and discover their master's true identity, only for the Architect to resist the telepathic attack and strip Sunder of his powers. As the God Gun began drilling into the alternate universe, Scorponok noted that their long-prophesied enemy still hadn't shown up, moments before Tyrest then detected an energy buildup on the other side of the portal. Scorponok realized that the Architect had miscalculated—their enemy was ''in'' this other universe, and the Architect's million-year gambit had allowed him access into ''theirs''... moments before [[Adaptus]], the Grand Architect in [[Pharma (G1)|Pharma]]'s body, fatally stabbed him in the back, then sliced his head in half as punishment for making him raise his voice. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 3): Farsickness|Farsickness}} His body remained where it fell, and Flame took to reminding the Grand Architect's other associates that they didn't want to get "Scorponok'd". {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}}

===''Transformers vs. G.I. Joe''===
[[File:Headmasters-Scorponok.jpg|thumb]]

A city on Megatron-dominated Cybertron, {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend}} Scorponok was known as a "city of madness" where unspeakable things took place. When several Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|Joes]] were captured by the Decepticons, the [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] carried them to Scorponok for punishment. {{storylink|Expelled from the Garden}} [[Billy (G.I. Joe)|Billy]] and [[Snake-Eyes|Snake Eyes]] battled atop Scorponok's claws, resulting in the former losing his right arm and leg. {{storylink|FCBD Funnies}} Within Scorponok, Decepticobra constructed the artificial town of [[Springfield (G.I. Joe)|Springfield]] where [[Doctor Mindbender]] brainwashed the captured Joes into thinking they were just ordinary citizens. As Scorponok was facing off against [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Scarlett]] was able to fight off the influence and kill Scorponok's [[Nebulos|Neb'los]] Headmaster, Mo Zarak, after which she herself took control of the scorpion-city. {{storylink|Headmasters (issue)|Headmasters}} Optimus Prime stood atop of Scorponok when he repaired Bumblebee back to working order, leading to word spreading that Optimus had "tamed" the Decepticon war machine. {{storylink|Pax Megatronus}}

When [[Primus]] began transforming, Scorponok fled with the rest of the Autobots to avoid getting crushed. {{storylink|Escape from Primus}} Scarlett, now going by "Zkarlett", then had Scorponok meet up with Fortress Maximus so that she could share a moment with [[Snake-Eyes]], who was similarly in control of Maximus. Together, they then used their city-bot bodies to help convince [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] to transform into robot mode and join them in fighting the Decepticon army. {{storylink|Transformers vs. G.I. Joe issue 12|Transformers vs. G.I. Joe #12}} During the final battle, Scorponok and Maximus took on Megatron's "Mega-Megatron" combiner form, which dwarfed even them. After the Autobots and Joes were victorious, Scarlett brought Scorponok with her to Earth and positioned the city on the planet's new continent, where it became home to victims of the Springfield incident and other displaced peoples and refugees. She and Snake-Eyes lived in a log cabin built on the tip of its tail. {{storylink|The War Never Ends}}

In [[Primax 1086.0 Kappa]], Scorponok and Fortress Maximus were both killed by Nebulans during the Transformers' battle on Nebulos, and their remains were fused together by Mortilus Zarak into a giant robot body under his control.

According to reports by [[Punch (G1)|Punch]], his alter-ego Counterpunch had worked his way into being a trusted advisor to Scorponok. Whether or not this actually happened is uncertain given the conflict between the two personas. {{storylink|The Truth We Make}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
When the devastating Transformer war spread to Nebulos, the Decepticon saboteur [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]] and the Nebulan genius [[Borx|Fausto Borx]] colluded to transform the city of [[Kinodia]] into the towering superweapon MegaZarak: the first "double-Headmaster", jointly piloted by their binary-bonded intellects. Bolstered by this new addition, the Decepticons briefly enjoyed the upper hand during the Nebulan campaign - but their joy would short-lived, as the Autobots retaliated by binary-bonding [[Cerebros (G1)|Cerebros]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] into Fortress Maximus. The battle between these two titans devastated the already ravaged world. Though MegaZarak was the stronger of the two city-bots, the Autobots used [[Llyra]]—daughter of Fausto and mate of their human ally [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]]—as a distraction, and MegaZarak's brief hesitation cost him the fight. {{storylink|A Brush With Infamy–Prologue}}

Though Fortress Maximus emerged triumphant, Nebulos would never again support life, and races across the galaxy would forever immortalize the tragedy as the "[[Scouring of Nebulos]]." {{storylink|Head Games}} MegaZarak saw action again several years later on the planet [[Master (planet)|Rebirth]]; by that point, Zarak had replaced Borx with the [[Cyberdroid]]s [[Abraham Dante|Dante]] and [[Caliburn (BWU)|Caliburn]]. When the Autobots arrived to liberate the world from Decepticon control, the Decepticons deployed MegaZarak against Fortress Maximus. This time, MegaZarak succeeded in toppling his old foe and the Autobots were forced to retreat. {{storylink|A Brush With Infamy–Prologue}} {{storylink|Derailment}}

At some point after this, Dante was unwillingly replaced by [[Olin Zarak|the grandson]] of Fausto Borx. MegaZarak was later destroyed under unspecified circumstances in another battle with Fortress Maximus at the very end of the Great War, presumably taking Zarak with him. {{storylink|Derailment}}

The [[Scorponok (group)|Scorponok]] were created by the [[Quintesson]]s, though much like the Cybertronians, they were treated poorly. The Scorponok never fought back, leaving their home destroyed and its people killed, except for one individual {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 4}} aboard [[Nebulos|Nebulon]] Station, an outpost jammed between a constantly active space bridge. This Scorponok awakened when the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]''-bound Autobots entered the station intending to explode it to pass through the space bridge. Declaring the Autobots an infestation, he killed a [[Security Officer (G1)|Security Officer]] and fought with the Autobots, including a hologram of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] created by [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]]. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] shortly joined the skirmish and knocked Scorponok down a chasm, though he merely transformed and rose up in his gigantic robot mode.

Scorponok busted down the door and resumed the fight against the Autobots. Nearly killing Optimus Prime, he was stopped by the arrival of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and his ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]''-bound Decepticons. After numerous attacks from both sides and tossing aside an annoying [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], Scorponok transformed and disrupted the duel between Optimus Prime and Megatron, only for the former to throw and shoot a charge in Scorponok's face. Arising from the rubble, he once again engaged in a fight with the Autobots and Decepticons, who discovered his weak point was his head. Optimus Prime leaped onto Scorponok's back and slung the disconnected wires on the ground around his neck to ride him, leaving the giant scorpion angered to be once again enslaved. After a failed attempt to kill Optimus Prime thanks to Megatron's interference, Scorponok fled.

Later, Optimus Prime accused Megatron of having Quintesson-like behavior, which attracted the ire of Scorponok, who explained how cruel the Quintessons were and how Megatron is not too dissimilar to a [[Quintesson Judge|Judge]]. A furious Megatron blasted Scorponok which provoked the latter to attack the Decepticons, giving the Autobots time to disable the station's gravity controls and flee to the ''Ark''. Starscream, in a gambit for power, used the ''Nemesis''<nowiki>'</nowiki> cannons at max-power to destroy the Autobots and Megatron, with the resulting explosion presumably taking Scorponok with it. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 4}}

Sombra struggled however to activate Scorponok's weapon systems in time to fight off the Equestrian/Cybertronian alliance, leaving the Titan vulnerable to the power of friendship.

:The largest Decepticon toy in [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] ([[:File:G1toy-FM-Scorponok.jpg|yet still much smaller than Fortress Maximus]] despite fiction showing them as similar in size), Scorponok's [[beast mode]] is a robotic purple, green, and orange scorpion. The pincers have multiple points of articulation, and the ratcheting joints are strong enough to grasp a smaller Transformer. His eight legs are also independently jointed. There are two wheels with rubber grips underneath Scorponok's beast mode body, and pushing him along will cause the scorpion legs to move, simulating the motion of walking. [[Zarak (G1)#Toys|Lord Zarak]] can sit inside the scorpion head/cockpit while in robot form, or he can be stored inside the chest compartment.

:Like many large Generation 1 Transformers, Scorponok has a base mode, with various ramps and towers for smaller Transformer toys to interact with, though it is quite out of [[scale]] for larger toys, such as his fellow Decepticon Headmasters. The central ramp (formed out of his beast tail) is designed with [[Fasttrack (G1)|Fasttrack]] in mind and features a minor gimmick—placing Fasttrack on the orange panel and pressing the small black button will cause the back of the orange panel to rise, sending Fasttrack rolling down the ramp.

:As with all Headmasters, Scorponok has a flip-down panel on his chest which covers a spring-loaded mini-[[Tech Spec|Tech-Spec]]-meter which gives readings for Speed, Strength and Intelligence. The tumblers are activated when Lord Zarak (or any other Headmaster unit) is plugged into his neck socket while in head mode. As Lord Zarak is about the same size as the Headmaster units of smaller Headmaster toys, Scorponok would thus have a pretty small noggin if not for the large helmet (that was the beast mode scorpion head) that is placed over the Headmaster. The helmet also features a flip-down visor, which was homaged in ''Energon'' [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]]. The 2-part rifle and shield plug into Scorponok's pincers.

The figure includes a small red visor-like mask that clips over the [[robot mode]] face, hiding it from view for scorpion mode, and can be reattached to the central head-crest in [[robot mode]] to give him the iconic U-shaped floating brow piece.

:''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#Masterforce|Super-God Masterforce]]'' BlackZarak comes with one major new accessory—his red, two-piece "[[Tyrant Spear]]", which he can hold in robot mode—and also includes all of Scorponok's original accessories, appropriately redecoed, including a gold redeco of [[Fasttrack (G1)|Fasttrack]] named "[[Black Roritchi]]". BlackZarak is notoriously difficult to find complete, due to many of his accessories, and even body parts, suffering from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]]. Even [[Mint in sealed box|sealed]] specimens have horrified owners who opened the toys for the first time to discover broken parts on their previously-untouched toys.

:Like [[Sixshot (G1)#Toys|Sixshot]] and [[Overlord (G1)#Toys|Overlord]], with their respective "Wingwolf" and "space jet" [[alternate mode]]s, BlackZarak's instructions do not feature the additional two-headed serpent mode, created as it was by the production staff after fiddling around with the toy and dubbed the "Dakatsu Mode". As such, it's entirely possible to transform the toy into this form, but if you try, be aware that it was seriously streamlined for animation, and doesn't look nearly as good in plastic as it does on the screen or comic page. (Also, if the toy hasn't shattered yet due to GPS, putting the toy into Dakatsu Mode will probably finish the job.)

:*''Accessories:'' Two missiles

:''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' "Pirate Scorponok" is a retool of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Ultra Class [[Scorponok (Energon)#Energon|Scorponok]], who transforms into both a scorpion-shaped construction vehicle thing and a spaceship. The vehicle is armed with decidedly non-scorpion-like double laser cannons behind each tread, two translucent orange laser cannons either side of his cockpit, and two flip-out laser cannons on the end of his crane arm, which are activated by pushing the small cockpit-shaped device (which also has a Mini-Con [[Powerlinx]] port) forwards. Inside his bucket scoops are two spring-loaded missile launchers in translucent housings. The right pincer houses his spark crystal while the left has another Mini-Con Powerlinx port. On Scorponok's pincers are 5 mm peg holes to accommodate all forms of [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] and [[Omnicon]] [[Energon weapon]]ry, as well as most other accessories featuring a similar peg system. In keeping with the trend for BotCon toys, the [[soundbox|electronic sound feature]] from the original toy has been removed as a cost-cutting step.

:Most importantly, Scorponok has new tooling that replaces his head with a new mechanism for his Headmaster head, [[Olin Zarak#Toys|Olin Zarak]], to plug into. The Headmaster figure itself is a retooled ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Encore|Cerebros]] figure with a new face based on Scorponok's original model sheet head.

:This figure features the same shoulder panel issues as ''Energon'' Scorponok, so care should be taken when handling the toy… [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHXKDmxeuHs&ab_channel=Seibertron.com there is a fix, however!] On top of the already poorly designed panels on the front of the shoulders, this release features a misassembly to the back of the shoulders; the parts with the altmode ladders are assembled on the wrong sides. The pieces should be in the sloped-up orientation, allowing the arms to articulate properly, whereas the factory assembly has them sloped-down. To fix this, just undo the screws and swap the pieces around.

:Scorponok comes in a box set with fellow pirates [[Ferak#Timelines|Ferak]], [[Tornado#Timelines|Tornado]], and [[Cannonball (G1)#Timelines|Cannonball]], plus knights [[Ginrai (robot)#Timelines|Ginrai]] and [[Devcon (G1)#Timelines|Devcon]].

:The original version of this mold was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Double Punch#Timelines|Double Punch]], and retooled differently to make [[Scorponok (Energon)#Cybertron|Dark Scorponok]].

: ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Scorponok is a retool of ''Titans Return'' Titan Master [[Fangry (G1)#Generations|Fangry]], with a new face based on his appearance in "[[The Rebirth]]" episode arc. As a Titan Master, Scorponok can serve as the head of any ''Titans Return''-style Deluxe, Voyager, or Leader Class figure. He also features ports in his feet that allow him to peg onto a wide variety of ''Titans Return'' figures. Like [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Ultra Magnus]], he also features a fully-painted die-cast Titan Master torso and head-mode face.

:Titan Class ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Scorponok is the largest ''Transformers'' toy of 2020, at 21 inches tall. He is compatible with the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]-styled play pattern of the 2016 ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' toyline, as well as the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[A.I.R. Lock System]] and [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. With this ''Earthrise'' release, the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline mostly closes the [[:File:G1toy-FM-Scorponok.jpg|1987 toyline size disparity]] between Scorponok and his original Autobot rival, as this Scorponok is only an inch and a half shorter than [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Titans Return|''Titans Return'' Fortress Maximus]]. He transforms into a scorpion that takes the cake with the largest beast mode ever for a ''Transformers'' toy, and steals the headmaster-with-a-headmaster gimmick that has until now exclusively been Fortress Maximus's whole thing.

:This Scorponok features a head inspired by his appearance in "The Rebirth", while his main body hybridizes inspiration from "The Rebirth", ''The Headmasters'', and [[#The Transformers|the original toy]]. Scorponok's forehead and visor can be lifted to reveal a pair of green-painted eyes. The red visor can be removed via unscrewing, if one is so inclined to show Scorponok's eyes in [[robot mode]]. The head detaches and transforms to become the Deluxe-sized "[[Zarak (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Lord Zarak]]", based on Scorponok from the ''Headmasters'' cartoon. Zarak's own head detaches as [[Titan Master]] Lord Zarak,<ref>The smaller Lord Zarak Titan Master figure is unnamed on Scorponok's packaging and instructions, but is labeled as "Lord Zarak" on the back of the package for ''Earthrise'' [[Fasttrack (G1)#Generations|Fasttrack]].</ref> the [[Nebulan]] from the American cartoon and comics. The Titan Master can then fit in a pilot seat compartment on the scorpion mode's back, or it can stand securely on the Titan Master-scaled foot pegs found in multiple places on the scorpion. The smaller Titan Master can also remain attached to the Deluxe-sized one while attached as the Titan's head, due to a small divot in the neck joint. The Deluxe-sized Lord Zarak/Scorponok head figure features optional less-prominent storage points on its back for Scorponok's large orange ear antennae, so that they don't have to hang from the panels on his shoulders.

:Scorponok comes with the [[Zarak Shield]], though it is now assembled with help from parts on his legs. As per the [[package art]], it can be kept as a shorter shield if the leg parts aren't used. Scorponok also comes with three "Fire Blast effect" parts, identical to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Jetfire]]'s effects parts, only he comes with one set, rather than two. Scorponok's vehicular drone [[Fasttrack (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Fasttrack]] was released separately as a mass-retail Deluxe Class Weaponizer figure, and adds to his Scorponok's robot mode by transforming into a [[#Super-God Masterforce|BlackZarak]]-style [[Tyrant Spear|spear weapon]].

:In city mode, a central hatch reveals a large hidden compartment designed to store Scorponok's head, with or without the smaller Titan Master attached. If one so chooses, the hatch can also be left all the way open, as the detail on the underside of the hatch lines up with the Zarak Shield's detail; together they replicate the G1 toys' window-esque detailing for the central tower—granted, this also leaves a giant open hole in the city mode, unless you fold the scorpion legs away to fill in the gap. Clips located at the end of ramps leading out from the sides of the city are compatible with other ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[A.I.R. Lock System]] ramps, but there are no connection points for ''Titans Return''-era ramps. Scorponok is the first cityformer to have no weapons while in city mode, though he has numerous 5 mm ports where weapons from other figures can be attached, and the two butt-flaps that form the center of the city modes' "crossroads", can be flipped up to reveal three molded rockets on the underside of each in the hollow texturing. The instructions, when showcasing his A.I.R. Lock System features, clearly showcase [[Sky Lynx (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Sky Lynx]] attached to him, but he's erroneously identified as [[Astrotrain (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Astrotrain]] instead. Whoops.

:[[Shogo Hasui]] from the [[TakaraTomy]] design team noted that the figure was originally meant to include its clear face shield and other accessories resembling the G1 toy, but these had to be omitted due to budget cuts.<ref>https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/english-translation-figure-king-270-july-2020-shogo-hasui-interview-on-earthrise-scorponok.1215648/ Interview about the Titan Scorponok design process</ref>

:The engineering of the connection between Scorponok's head and body is similar enough to ''Titans Return'' Fortress Maximus to allow a half-measure of inter-compatibility: Scorponok's head will fit well enough into place on Fortress Maximus's body, but [[Cerebros (G1)#Titans Return|Cerebros]] and his mold mates will not fit on Scorponok's body, not even if you take away Scorponok's removable collar piece. Scorponok also comes with his tail disassembled in order to fit inside his packaging. Like his predecessors in the ''Titans Return'' play pattern, this toy makes no reference to the original Headmaster toys' mechanical [[Tech Spec]] gimmick, but his instructions do include Tech Specs printed in [[Alphabet#Autobot script|Cybertronian script]] for people to decipher.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys (with the exception of his Japanese release), Scorponok's package includes a segment of a larger star map, and a thin piece of red translucent plastic intended as a decoder for the map. Like [[Sky Lynx (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Sky Lynx]], Scorponok's "clip-and-save" map piece is pre-clipped, and care should be taken not to damage it while removing it from beneath the box's inner tray, near all the twist-tie knots. This very large map piece mostly shows the looming foreground location of [[Unicron|UNICRON]], as well as a legend for the markings on other map segments. This legend names five types of lines as: [[space bridge|SPACE BRIDGE]], [[Ark (G1)|ARK]], [[Nemesis (G1)|NEMESIS]], [[Quintesson|QUINTESSON]], and [[Fool's Fortune|FOOL'S FORTUNE]].

:Scorponok was reissued in late [[2024]] with pre-orders listed on October of that year.

{{toydesigner|[[Lenny Panzica]] (Hasbro),<ref name="podcast"/> [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (detailing)}}

:The first ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]'' Titan Class toy, Black Zarak is a [[retool]] of ''Earthrise'' Scorponok and an add-on to the ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' toyline. His deco and newly-molded head are highly accurate to his appearance in ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]''. The head's own robot mode has a new battle-damaged chest, and an eyepatch that references Black Zarak's appearance in ''[[Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!|Zone]]''. Interestingly, the exposed chest innards appear to be based the torso sculpt of ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)#Studio Series|Scrapmetal]], albeit upside-down.

:The toy includes the [[Tyrant Spear#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Tyrant Spear]], which is composed of six separate pieces (three pieces of the spearhead, two for the shaft, and one bottom tip). It is meant to be stored in scorpion mode with the two shaft sections and the bottom tip on either side and the combined spearhead forming a larger stinger. The shaft has grooved areas allowing the robot mode claws to somewhat hold it, though, the hold isn't very tight, and moving the heavily ratcheted arms while it's in his claws, tends to shake it out of the grip anyway. If one chooses, Black Zarak can also accompany and use the previously released ''War for Cybertron Trilogy Selects'' [[Black Roritchi#Generations|Black Roritchi]], although the two figures feature ''drastically'' different shades of gold.

:An extra instruction sheet mentions that the collar piece is not needed, and that attempting to install it may scratch the paint on the back of the head.{{fact}} It also goes without saying, but one can achieve the "Dakatsu Mode" configuration with this figure, though, the shoulders can't be positioned on top of the torso like the G1 toy, and it likewise doesn't stand on its own. Hey, at least it won't [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|crumble]]!

:Having been announced for pre-order 9 months prior to Black Zarak's shipping date, his TransformersTuesday announcement stock images were digitally colored prototype photographs. Said stock images' backgrounds also had "VICTORY" written in [[Cybertronian language|Ancient Autobot]], much like ''Generations Selects'' [[Deep Cover#Generations Selects|Deep Cover]].

:BlackZarak was the "[[Build a Figure|Build-A-Figure]]" from the fifth, ''Masterforce''-centric wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s line of ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' PVC figurines, available in eight out of every ten cases. He was divided into six parts, each one packaged with one of the silver metallic "pewter" versions of the other six figurines in the line (the regular, color versions of the figures didn't come with BlackZarak parts): his head and torso came with [[Ginrai (human)#SCFMasterforce|Ginrai]], his left arm with [[Shūta Gō#Super Collection Figure|Goshooter]], his right arm with [[Metalhawk (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metalhawk]] and [[Minerva (human)#SCFhuman|Minerva]], his waist and backpack with [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Devastator]], his left leg with [[Omega Supreme (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Omega Supreme]], and his right leg with [[Overlord (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Overlord]].

: BlackZarak's parts were available in both full-color and smokey translucent plastic, in an equal ratio of 4 out of every 10 cases each, making two versions of the figure to collect. The tint of the clear parts can vary, with some taking a darker-amber tone; this appears to be simply a matter of the plastic batch being off-color, not a result of any kind of [[photodegradation]].

: He is also the rare ''SCF'' figure to come with a removable accessory... though "removable" might not be the right word, as he has no ''secure'' method of holding his [[Tyrant Spear]]. It just kind of has to sit in his right closed claw, letting gravity do its job.

:Like BlackZarak before him, this version of "MegaZarak" was the build-a-figure from the line's eighth wave. He is a heavy reworking of BlackZarak, sharing only the torso, waist, arms and shield (and the shoulder parts have been altered to remove the gun-connector pegs on the back). Like BlackZarak, there was both a regular full-color figure to collect (available in six out of every ten cases) as well as a rarer variant version, this time in metallic silver (available in four out of every ten cases).

: His six components were packaged with the regular color versions of the other figurines in the line: his head and torso came with [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#SCFFortress|Fortress]], his left arm with [[Dai Atlas (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Dai Atlas]], his right arm with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#SCFStarConvoy|Star Convoy]], his pelvis with [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Jazz]], his left leg with [[Alpha Trion/toys#Super Collection Figure|Alpha Trion]], and his right leg with [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Cyclonus]].

:The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms and waist (that's a lot of weight on one tiny peg!); shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

==Notes==
[[File:Zazorigun.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|His name is about as clever as his progenitor's.]]
* Scorponok's colors are distributed differently in [http://www.botchthecrab.com/gallery/catalog_1988_b.jpg the 1987 and 1988 toy catalogs] as compared to the finished product.
*[[Bob Budiansky]] early treatment for the [[The Transformers: Headmasters|Headmaster's miniseries]] use the name Imperius for Scorponok. It's unclear if it was ever used outside this outline.
* Both Scorponok and Fortress Maximus suffer from the writers struggling to reconcile the characters' high rank with their size. In their comic appearances, they are portrayed as commanders in some capacity but are shrunk down to interact with other Transformers, and their city modes pretty much don't exist. Conversely, the cartoons have opted to portray them as giant city Transformers, though they seem to be merely extensions of the smaller beings that bond with them, with no real life or will of their own.
* The [[Action Master Elite]] [[Double Punch]]'s mold looks just like an [[Action Master]] version of BlackZarak, right down to the molded details, including the head. The coloring (black/red/purple) is similar to BlackZarak's coloring (black/red/gold) as well. This is very strange, considering that Japan never got Action Masters, and Europe never got BlackZarak.
* Scorponok served as the basis for the evil "Zazorigun" (ザゾリガン ''Zazorigan'', a play on サソリ ''sasori'' meaning "scorpion") mecha in [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave of Gold Goldran]]'' series. Unlike fellow ''Goldran'' baddie Death Garrygun (who was derived from [[Sky Garry (G1)|Sky Garry]]), no toy or merchandise of Zazorigun was ever released. A toy was planned, but Death Garrygun was chosen instead just before broadcast, so the opening uses Death Garrygun in place of Zazorigun.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=11話ですが空中要塞ザゾリガンが早くも退場。元々トランスフォーマーのメガザラックのリデコで商品をで出す予定だったけど放送直前にスカイギャリーに変更になった。OPはデスギャリガンに差し替えが間に合った。|link=https://twitter.com/takama2_shinji/status/1581947391694974976|name=Shinji Takamatsu|site=Twitter|year=2022|month=10|day=17|(defunct=)}}</ref>
* [[Omni Productions]] dialogue scripts for ''The Headmasters'', included on the R2 release of the series, feature a number of different, bizarre names for Scorponok, including "'''Bronco'''" in [[The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery|episode 7]], "'''Locke'''"/"'''Lok'''" and "'''Jart'''" in [[Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1|episode 9]], and "'''Sogi'''" and "'''Chandler'''" in later episodes. While the final English dub just calls him Scorponok, variations of these names were actually used in the Latin American dub based on the same scripts, leading to some inconsistencies with Scorponok's name. On his first appearance, Galvatron calls him "Lok". Later, Skullcruncher calls him "Gronko" (episode 7 only), later in the series, he's named "Scorponok", and during the space travel event, he's called "'Chandler", the last two names being the most used during the ''Headmasters'' series. It should be noted that no name makes a distinction between Scorponok and his Transtector.
* Scorponok disappeared from [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW's original ''Transformers'' continuity]] for a long time between [[2009]]'s [[Maximum Dinobots issue 5|''Maximum Dinobots'' #5]] and [[2017]]'s [[Chasing the Infinite|''Lost Light'' #9]]. Though not expressly stated at the time of the former, it was generally presumed he had been taken to [[Garrus-9]]. Picking up on this plot thread, both Scorponok and [[Grimlock (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Grimlock]] were originally intended to be large players in ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]''. Scorponok (his consciousness taken out of [[Abraham Dante]] and put back in his body by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]]) would have acted as [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]]'s go to guy for crazy science and would develop [[Nucleon (substance)|nucleon]] as a steroid analogue. The nucleon would power fighters up but damage their mental state. Scorponok would have solved the problem of not having a head by stealing [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]'s. Grimlock would have been dosed up on nucleon, trapping him in his dinosaur form, and rendering him a psychotic beast. Overlord was to have gone on to use him as the final opponent for anyone who progressed far enough in the arena. It was then intended that Overlord's defeat would come from the Wreckers knocking him into the arena with the enraged Grimlock. Although Grimlock did indeed have a minor part in the series, it was decided to deliberately minimalize any 'big name' characters at Garrus-9 so as not to overshadow the Wreckers.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2uzQB1GqS0 Auto Assembly 2010 Last Stand of the Wreckers Panel]</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9DPbginVXE Moonbase 2's AA2010 interview], 30:06 - 31:03</ref>
* The Scorponok that appears in the Japanese ''[[Kre-O Transformers (comic)|Kre-O Transformers]]'' manga is not based on the toy, which wasn't released in Japan, but on Generation 1 Scorponok's head unit as it appeared in ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]''. Like all non-toy robot Kreons in these comics, he is made up of existing Kre-O parts, namely the [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]] helmet.
* Scorponok's original bio quote, "Kindness is no virtue... and cruelty is no vice," would appear to be a riff on American 1964 Republican presidential nominee {{w|Barry Goldwater}}'s acceptance speech, "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice... And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." Goldwater remained a large political name for the following 20 years and Ronald Reagan had recently awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1986, a year before Scorponok's release, so it would have been a timely reference.

Blast Off (G1)

Liliesrobots: /* Age of the Primes */ i don't think blast off not being a leg is notable

:''Blast Off is a [[Decepticon]] [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:MTMTEBlastOff.jpg|upright=1.8|thumb|Ground control to Major Denial.]]
'''Blast Off''' doesn't need a write-up in some pathetic, [[Main Page|grubby little human database]]. It might matter to [[Sky Lynx (G1)|''some'' robots]] what others think of them, or if they think of them at all, but Blast Off couldn't care less. No, he's literally and figuratively above your average Cybertronian riff-raff. The other Combaticons could completely forget he's up here, orbiting so far above the Earth, distant and alone... with only the empty void for company... and he couldn't care less. No, certainly not.

Lesser robots could hardly understand the joy... yes, that's it, the joy, he finds in efficiently and remorselessly annihilating targets from such a great distance. Blast Off was quite simply "built better" than the rest, you see, and so needs nothing from those tiny beings moving about so... so very... far away below. Blast Off... Blast Off is quite happy with his superior position, yes, quite happy and... and quite alone.

Blast Off condescends to combine with his fellow [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] to form [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]].

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===

[[File:RevengeBruticus BlastOff Brawl.jpg|left|thumb|"You ever think about what you want to do after graduation?"]]
Blast Off was one of the five [[renegade Decepticon]]s liberated by [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] in the Air Commander's latest attempt to unseat [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. As an element of their imprisonment, they had been reduced to mere [[personality component]]s, so Starscream installed them into abandoned [[World War II]] military vehicles. The transplant caused the vehicles to immediately reconfigure themselves: Blast Off in particular went from being a {{w|B-17 Flying Fortress|B-17 bomber}}<ref>"Starscream's Brigade" shooting script</ref> to being a space shuttle, of all things (though he still thought that it was a "crude carcass"). Starscream called them "Combaticons" and announced their names as they transformed, but they didn't recognize him. Nor did they feel particularly indebted to him for their release; in the end, Starscream only guaranteed their loyalty though having given them bodies bereft of [[energy absorber]]s, so they would be dependent upon him to refuel. While their first missions for Starscream were initially successful, the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]]' intervention meant the brigade's defeat, and Megatron exiled all six to a remote asteroid. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

Their exile would prove to be short-lived. With Blast Off providing the locomotion, the Combaticons returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], where they defeated [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]] and his [[Sentinel (G1)|drone army]]. It took a temporary Autobot-Decepticon alliance to defeat the Combaticons, and the Autobots believed them destroyed after Cybertron's sort-of liberation. In reality, Megatron had Bruticus (and thus, Blast Off, we guess) reprogrammed to be more loyal. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

[[File:AerialAssault BlastOff Aerialbots.jpg|thumb|"Are you sure this is where we parked?"]]
The Combaticons later ambushed the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] in a Middle Eastern country, and Blast Off heavily damaged [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]] during the battle. He and the others then went off to help Megatron with his scheme to steal fighter aircraft from the country, and to protect his [[Giant Purple Griffin]]. Blast Off somehow failed to notice the Autobot [[insignia]]s on the stolen and disassembled Slingshot and [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] before deeming both jets "cheap junk" and leaving. Although to be fair, he probably would've said that even ''if'' he knew who they were. Blast Off participated in the following battle against the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], but lost when they ignited an oil well, creating an explosion that sent Bruticus flying. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}}

Later, Blast Off and his teammates were driving (despite his obvious lack of wheels) around a city before abruptly forming Bruticus and just as abruptly getting blown to scrap by [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. Only [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] was left in one piece, and he quickly took the opportunity to sell the parts of Blast Off and the others to various [[El Presidente|people]]. As soon as Megatron found out, he forced Swindle to get them back, and Blast Off was soon repaired. Then Bruticus was defeated by the Autobots again. {{storylink|B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.}}

In [[2006]], the Decepticons were driven off Cybertron and took refuge on [[Chaar]], with Blast Off and the others starved for [[energon]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} Blast Off joined in on the attack when the Decepticons noticed [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] spying on them. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}} When the Decepticons were offered energon by the [[Quintesson]]s, the Combaticons joined up with them. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} For this decision, Blast Off was shot in the back by [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] and quickly re-pledged his loyalty to him. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Blast Off was among those Decepticons sent to Earth to prevent the Autobots from delivering a new [[transformation cog]] to [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], but they failed in that attempt. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

[[File:Chaos RunamuckonBlastOff.jpg|left|thumb|"Heigh-ho, Blast Off, away!" 
"Aw, shut up, Runamuck!"]]
Later, Blast Off was patrolling a litter void in Decepticon territorial space when he found a [[Skuxxoid]] on a rocket sled making target practice out of the junk. After running the little punk to ground, Blast Off "convinced" him to give over his impressive blaster cannon. In addition, the alien told him how to find the weapon's rare ammunition, [[death crystal]]s, from Quig Mountain on the planet [[Dread (planet)|Dread]]. When the Autobots came to investigate, Blast Off and [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]] attempted to chase them off the scene. [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], another egotistical space shuttle, gave them a merry chase, but Runamuck managed to blow up a comet to cover their escape. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

[[File:SurpriseParty GiantBlastOff.jpg|thumb|Determined to one-up Astrotrain, Blast Off grows big enough to transport his teammates and their combined form.]]
The Combaticons later failed to assassinate Decepticon exile [[Octane]] at [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]]. {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}} Blast Off followed Galvatron to [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]] to track down [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], where they temporarily formed an alliance with [[Abdul Fakkadi (G1)|Abdul Fakkadi]]. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}} The Combaticons showed off some guerrilla tactics by appearing out of nowhere to damage a peace conference shuttle before escaping aboard Blast Off. {{storylink|Surprise Party}} Blast Off served as transport for Soundwave when the Decepticons attacked the planet of [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]]. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}} When the Decepticons conquered [[Paradron]], Blast Off and Swindle guarded jail cells, but didn't do very well when Rodimus Prime and his troops arrived to rescue the prisoners. Meanwhile, Blast Off was somehow also part of Bruticus, who was watching the whole affair alongside Galvatron. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} As part of Bruticus, Blast Off battled Defensor in [[Japan]], but the Combaticons were forced to separate and scatter when [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] arrived on the scene. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

In [[2007]], the Combaticons were infected by the [[Hate Plague]]. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} Later that year, the Decepticons attacked Cybertron in order to take control of the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. As the other Combaticons built a giant engine on the planet's surface, Blast Off shot down [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] before reporting to Galvatron that the Aerialbots had been vanquished. He then ripped out [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s [[power pack]] to fuel the engine. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

=====Scramble City=====
The Combaticons were dispatched to assist the Stunticons in a battle against the Aerialbots. Together, the two teams overwhelmed the Autobot fliers, but before they could finish their enemies off, they were defeated by the newly constructed [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]]. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
[[File:FWCOTS Blast Off.jpg|thumb|wwhatevver]]
In the year [[2011]], [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] ordered a large-scale Decepticon assault on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in order to get his hands on [[Vector Sigma]]. The Combaticons were part of the attack forces, and Blast Off was seen bombing random targets until he was shot out of the sky by [[Jazz (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Jazz]]. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} As the battle continued, Blast Off merged with his team to form Bruticus, but even alongside the other Decepticon combiners, he was no match for [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]]. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} The Combaticons were driven away, and were instead sent to Earth with orders to stop [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] from bringing the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. Before they got very far, they were ambushed by the Protectobots and were buried in a rockslide in the ensuing battle. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}} Blast Off subsequently helped defend [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] against [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Twincast]]'s infiltration, but the Autobot spy snuck past when the Combaticons were distracted by the timely arrival of the Aerialbots. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

Blast Off later participated in another attack on Cybertron, this time because Galvatron wanted [[Cybertonuron]]. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} The Combaticons ended up facing Defensor yet again, and Bruticus was defeated by a swift kick to the neck. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}} As part of Bruticus, Blast Off later defended a giant carnivorous plant in [[San Francisco]] from [[Raiden]]. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] then took command of the Combaticons, who sent them to attack an Autobot energy facility in [[Florida|Miami]] alongside the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and [[Horrorcon (G1)|Horrorcons]]. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} They also unleashed Bruticus at Sixshot's order as he continued his reign of terror over the Autobots on Earth. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

[[File:IRMLFE Decepticon cheer.jpg|thumb|left]]
When [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] officially took over [[Decepticon leader|leadership]] after Galvatron's death, Blast Off was amongst the cheering Decepticons. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}} On the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], Bruticus later tried to divert attention away from the Decepticon base, to no avail. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} Later, back on Earth, Bruticus stood by and laughed as [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] sank the luxury liner ''[[Queen World]]'' in the Atlantic Ocean. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} Blast Off was present at the massive Autobot-Decepticon battle in the [[Arctic]], if only as part of Bruticus. The combiner fled into space when it seemed Scorponok was going to tear Earth apart for [[plasma energy]]. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violengiguar]] gathered together the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]], upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Blast Off was of those summoned, but only as part of Bruticus. {{storylink|Fight!

=====''Generations Selects Special Comic''=====
In [[2050]], Blast Off and the Decepticons joined the revolution of the [[Selector]]s against their human masters. Blast Off was seen flying into battle with his onetime partner, [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]]. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 2}} Later on, The [[Quintesson]]s and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s sided with the humans, and [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] attacked all while craving [[Angolmois Energy]]. In battle with a scrambled version of [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], Abominus crashed into Bruticus and Menasor and stole some of their limb components to make an even stronger version of himself, including Blast Off. {{storylink|Abominus comic 2}}

The makeshift combiner separated, but Blast Off and other Decepticons later followed the Terrorcons through a portal to the [[Precursor World]]. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Prelude|Finale Prelude}} He helped [[Turtler]] form the [[Scramble 7]] combination. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}

As part of Bruticus, Blast Off came to the Stunticons' aid when their new command outpost was attacked by the Aerialbots and Protectobots. Together with Menasor, Bruticus defeated Defensor, only for the two combiners to get their leg components shot off by Superion. [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] and [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] took control of Bruticus's legs and flew away with Blast Off, Vortex and Onslaught, planning to drop them off somewhere over the ocean. {{storylink|Fight!

Blast Off later joined the Combaticons in hunting down an [[Battle Dog|escaped dog]] on which the Decepticons had experimented. He reacted with horror when the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot warriors]] came to stop their evil activities, and the Combaticons combined into Bruticus. However, [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]], imbued with the dying dog's energy, defeated the giant using the [[Minibot combiner|"Minibot Warrior Spiral Attack"]]. {{storylink|Fight!

=====''The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers''=====
In the year [[2010]], Blast Off participated in a Decepticon attack on the planet Feminia. He and his team merged into Bruticus in order to battle alongside Menasor and Devastator 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 Bruticus 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}}

=====''The Great Transformer War''=====
Galvatron kidnapped Doctor [[Dalton]] of [[Eran]] to upgrade the might of his combiner warriors. When the Autobot combiners arrived to save Dalton, Blast Off and his teammates were deployed at high speeds from Onslaught's launcher mode. They met Superion in mid-air, and the force of their deployment enabled the combiner teams to tear him apart. The Combaticons then merged into Bruticus to move in for the kill. They were ultimately outwitted by the Autobots, however, who rescued Dalton and safely returned to Metroplex. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}

=====''Super-God Masterforce'' comic=====
Blast Off formed the right arm of [[Scramble 7]], a Decepticon combiner using various combiner team members in a supposedly "ideal" configuration.

====Madman ''The Transformers'' comic====
In the year 2001, the Decepticons had managed to conquer Cybertron completely. As the Autobots evacuated off-planet, Blast Off was one of the many space-worthy Decepticons who pursued them into orbit and attacked. {{storylink|The Transformers (Madman)|The Transformers}}

====''Wings Universe''====
{{Wingsnote}}
Blast Off graduated from the [[Autobot Military Academy]] and was drafted into the [[Elite Guard]]. He underwent the flying upgrade program to become a Space Warrior, but was curiously outfitted with a rather situation-specific (''re: useless'') [[alternate mode]] as a planetary orbiter. [[Magnum]] and [[Sentinel Major]] recruited him into the Guard's Special Ops Team, the Combaticons. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 2}}

On their first mission, the Combaticons were teamed with [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]] and his Elite Guard Strike Team. In the rundown city known as [[Median]], an archeological dig had uncovered a powerful artifact known as the [[Heart of the Dragon]], and the Decepticon raiders from [[Quarex]] called [[Stormtrooper (G1)|Stormtroopers]] were planning to swipe it. The Elite Guard arrived in Median to plan a defense and protect the dig team from the coming attack.

It was slow going converting the dilapidated ruins into a sturdy bunker to hold off an attack. Blast Off, [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] and [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] worked with the dig's security chief [[Strika (BM)|Strika]] on the fortifications, but Blast Off's prissy manner made him little help. He bemoaned the perils of manual labor, while also complaining about his useless orbiter mode which kept him from being useful during manual labor. When the Stormtroopers arrived, [[Rage (G1)|Rage]] and his minions made it past Metalhawk's crew because he made the mistake of trying to take them alive. The operation went downhill from there, and the Decepticons soon escaped with the Heart.

Tracking the Stormtroopers back to their mobile base, the [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]], Blast Off and the others fought their way through Rage's bizarre creations, the [[Minotoron]]s. Seeing an opportunity to sneak inside, Blast Off, [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and Dion mounted the creatures when they were summoned back inside the Metrotitan. Inside the mechanimals pen, however, the only possible exit was an enclosed observation booth far above their heads. Once again, Blast Off lamented the uselessness of his alternate mode, since he could only fly straight up, unable to maneuver enough to get them into the booth. It was up to Dion to use his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] boosters as a makeshift jetpack to reach the upper levels.

Once the team had reassembled inside, they were forced to confront [[Brimstone (G1 Decepticon)|Brimstone]], a small but powerful Transformer with atom-smashing breath, brought to life by the Heart of the Dragon. They engaged in an accelerated advance to the rear long enough for the Strike Team's <s>mad bomber</s> weapons specialist [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]] to cobble together his explosives and blast Brimstone to [[J'nwan]]. The blast didn't kill the creature, but it did upset his delicate energy containment protocols, causing him to explode from the inside out. Blast Off and the Elite Guard managed to escape the blast radius, and reported back to Magnum about a job well done. {{storylink|Flames of Yesterday}}

The Combaticons and Strike Team continued to work together on many missions over the following weeks. After successfully eliminating [[Shadowcaster]], Blast Off and the Combaticons broke off from their partners to control patrolling the area and search for further leads on the [[Decepticon Warlord]]s. Instead, they ended up being captured by [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 3}}

Deathsaurus saw potential in the Combaticons, and manipulated them into abandoning the Elite Guard and siding with him. For Blast Off, the manipulation required little more than the promise of a [[Triple Changer]] upgrade with both land AND space modes so he wouldn't have to be so... lonely up there... {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 4}}

Blast Off and the Combaticons led a squadron of Deathsaurus's troops in battle against the Elite Guard headquarters. Four Elite Guard teams returned to base quickly enough to eliminate the threat of most of the Decepticons. The Combaticons had one last ace to play, however, and used Deathsaurus's new combination technology to merge into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], killing Sentinel Major and starting the slaughter anew. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 5}} Bruticus managed to slaughter pretty much all of the Guard before [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] blinded the giant, forcing them to separate. They headed back to Deathsaurus's base for repairs. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 6}}

Repairs proceeded, but the Combaticons were startled to learn that Deathsaurus could force them to combine into Bruticus at will. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 2}} They still turned out to help defend the base against the remnants of the Elite Guard. Blast Off found himself grappling with [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]], but gained the upper hand when the Autobot was distracted by the sight of a sword-wielding [[Lyzack (G1)|Lyzack]]. The Combaticons attempted to merge, only to be blasted mid-combination. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 3}} In the resulting confusion, Blast Off was bound and sat on by Side Burn, preventing the Combaticons from forming Bruticus again and ultimately resulting in their capture by the Elite Guard. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 4}}

In the hands of the compromised [[Gyronian Sentry|Gyronian Sentry Team]], the Combaticons were whisked away to Deathsaurus's fortress, now under Megatron's control. Though Megatron gave them the option, none of them cared to help Deathsaurus, and they were imprisoned and their personality components subsequently interred in the Decepticon Detention Center. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}}

''[[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]], who had held the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] inside his mind, once experienced nightmares of strange new Transformers, [[Special Teams]] with the ability to merge into a giants. Blast Off and his Combaticon teammates appeared in one of Buster's earlier dreams, before he sought help from the Autobots. To make sense of these dreams, Buster linked his mind with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s. They then both witnessed a scenario where the Combaticons and [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] lost against their Autobot counterparts, the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], in a battle over the [[Pullen Power Plant]]. However, the dream was also spied into by [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]], and so the Decepticons started building the Decepticon Special Teams seen in the vision.'' {{storylink|Second Generation!}} {{storylink|The Special Teams Have Arrived}}

[[File:Afterdeath Vortex BlastOff.JPG|left|upright=0.9|thumb|"Hey, Vortex! Let's give these... clouds a surprise that will kill 'em all!"]]
Blast Off and the other Combaticons were led by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] to steal a [[hydrothermocline]] energy device from [[Energy Futures Industries]], only to be faced with Optimus Prime and his Protectobots. After some advice by a nearby human named [[Ethan Zachary]], the two groups decided to fight [[Multi-World|virtually]] rather risk damage to the power plant. Transferring his mind into a computer, Blast Off teamed up with [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] and ambushed [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] and [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] in the area called the "Cloud-Steppes". They did well at first with Blast Off hitting Blades with his [[x-ray laser]], until the local AI turned against them and distracted the two fliers with a cloud, allowing Groove to blind them with his [[photon pistol]] so that they crashed into each other and lost the game.

That's right. Blast Off, Lord of the Skies, was beaten up by a cloud. {{storylink|Afterdeath!}} ''These events were observed by the [[time travel]]ling [[Dicet Alpha-zero]].'' {{storylink|The Quest!}}

When the Decepticons successfully acquired the hydrothermocline, they planned to relocate it to the Florida Keys. Megatron assembled a convoy to travel in disguise by road down to the Keys, and so Blast Off joined the convoy. Of cars. Traveling from Wyoming to Florida. While flying in shuttle mode. Down U.S.-1 at less than 100 mph. And yet, the Decepticons called ''Megatron'' mad for expecting an Autobot attack..? {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}}

''On a mission for Commander [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]], Blast Off and the Combaticons secured a volcano where the nemeses [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] had been found frozen in the cooled lava like flies in amber. Shockwave saw Galvatron as a threat to his power base and wanted the volcano destroyed with Galvatron stuck inside it. The Combaticons' mission was interrupted, however, by several female fleshlings trying to save Ultra Magnus. They sent a speeding jeep towards Blast Off and his comrades, but the Combaticons stopped the vehicle easily. However, they didn't fare as well against a tank the women had appropriated, which fired at the jeep and set off the storage of explosives the women had put inside it.'' {{storylink|Ladies' Night (issue)|Ladies' Night}}

[[File:UsedAutobot BlastOff Groove.JPG|thumb|Blast Off demonstrates for Groove how some toys fail the drop test.]]
He and his fellow Combaticons were sent on a hunting mission by Decepticon command and spent several weeks tracking and tormenting [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and the [[Throttlebot]]s, who had recently interfered with their schemes. They were interrupted by both the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and a squadron of [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]] soldiers, though, and engaged in battle with the first of these two groups. Blast Off demonstrated his unmitigated superiority by beating up a [[Groove (G1)|pacifist]]. Darn peace-niks. Blast Off's team was unable to secure their targets while so occupied however, and beat a retreat after the humans had taken off with the Throttlebots themselves. {{storylink|Used Autobots}} Blast Off and his teammates chose to pursue the Protectobots, and tracked them on their return journey to the Ark. Ambushing them in a sprawling train yard, the Combaticons joined to form Bruticus, successfully bringing down the similarly merged [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] after a prolonged battle. But the dim-witted combiner was then tricked into lowering his guard by Blaster, who knocked out his opponent by collapsing an electrical tower atop of him. Afterwards, Blast Off was slapped with a mode-lock device so that Blaster could remote-control him, taking his four [[Spacehikers|newfound human friends]] for a spin around Earth's orbit. {{storylink|Child's Play (issue)|Child's Play}} Unfortunately, Blaster was at odds with Autobot leader [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] at the time as well, and Blast Off and his passengers were forcibly captured by the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. {{storylink|Spacehikers!}} The Decepticon later either escaped Autobot custody on his own or was rescued along with [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]'s victims by the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

''The Combaticons eventually wound up under the leadership of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. On his orders, they staged a raid on the [[Rutter U.S. Military Base]]. There, they secured two armed warheads and components from an advanced guidance computer. The Protectobots intervened part-way through the theft, but Blast Off managed to clear the area with the loot while his teammates provided cover, bringing his cargo all the way to Scorponok's orbital headquarters.'' {{storylink|Prime Bomb!}}

In [[2008]], Blast Off was briefly seen racing through the skies with his fellow Decepticons on the way to attack [[Autobase]]; the Decepticons had been fed information that the Autobots had mostly left Cybertron, leaving their territories vulnerable. This turned out to be a Quintesson ruse, and the aliens ambushed the Decepticons in a bid to forcefully colonize the Transformer homeworld.

Blast Off and the rest of the Combaticons were created by Starscream on a remote Pacific island, by combining military vehicles with Energon cubes. They then drove to the [[Pullen Power Plant]], passing Optimus Prime en route, though the Autobot leader was none-the-wiser to the Decepticons in disguise. Blast Off crossed paths with Fireflight and Skydive in the air, who recognized Blast Off's Decepticon badge. Their cover ruined, Onslaught ordered to rest of his team to merge with him to form Bruticus. {{storylink|The Special Teams}}

Blast Off and the rest of the Combaticons served under [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] on a Decepticon ship, when they managed to shoot down the ship being captained by Ultra Magnus. After the Autobots crash-landed on planet [[Barrenikon]], the Decepticons landed their ship nearby to finish off their enemies. In the many possible adventures that followed, Blast Off and the other Decepticons often underestimated you, which often led to them losing to the Autobots, leaving them either stranded on Barrenikon, or fleeing after they received too much damage. That is, if you somehow didn't get yourself killed at their hands. {{storylink|The Transformers Sticker Book (St. Michael)|The Transformers Sticker Book}}

[[File:WarWithin2 BlastOff.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|]]
Shortly after [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] became the new Autobot Supreme Commander, Blast Off took part in the Decepticon assault upon [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 2|The War Within #2}} He attacked the [[Decagon]], dogfighting with [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]], {{storylink|The War Within issue 3|The War Within #3}} and was later at Shockwave's side when he ordered his troops to make the final push. {{storylink|The War Within issue 4|The War Within #4}} Blast Off rushed to the front lines as the Decepticons managed to breach the last of the Autobots' defenses. {{storylink|The War Within issue 5|The War Within #5}}

During the [[Dark Ages]] of Cybertron's civil war, while footage of a brawl between Defensor and Devastator was caught on-camera by Prowl's computers in his Autobase, Blast Off was also spotted by one of the hub's screens. {{storylink|Escalation}}

Millions of years later, Blast Off, along with his fellow Combaticons, was imprisoned by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}} until they were released by Starscream. In a plot to plunder Earth of its resources, Starscream planned to abscond with the dormant Combaticons while Shockwave regime was in the midst of being overthrown by the Autobots. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

Returning to the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' via an uncooperative [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], Starscream realized he needed to take parts from the Autobots' [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] if he ever hoped to get the ''Nemesis'' flying again, and for that he needed considerable firepower. Fortunately, there was a nearby abandoned military testing ground from which the Combaticons could scan Earth-based alternate modes. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} When the attack on the ''Ark'' was launched, the Autobots had little problem defending against the first wave, successfully capturing [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], but several of the Autobots were soundly beaten when the Combaticons showed up and combined into the mighty Bruticus. The behemoth attacked the ''Ark'' freeing his Decepticon compatriots before going after [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]. Unfortunately, the Autobots activated their ship's self-destruct before escaping, damaging the Combaticons in the resulting explosion. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}}

[[File:Onslaught G1DW routeofallevil.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb|]]
Damaged or not, the Combaticons soon had to face a powerful enemy when the crazed zealot [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] appeared on Earth, but before they could attack him, Bruticus' head was blown apart by [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] in the Autobot supply ship ''[[Orion]]''. In the aftermath, Bruticus's barely-conscious body was battered upon by an angry Brawn. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}}

The repaired Combaticons were brought to Guadalcanal, where they could hone their somewhat lackluster combat skills and listen to Starscream's long-winded aspirations of glory. Starscream ordered them to defeat the Autobot [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] as a means to train themselves for greater battles. Blast Off ordered Vortex to "take Sky Lynx down", but unfortunately, the Combaticons did not fare well when the Autobot split into his two forms, and Blast Off was embarrassingly grabbed in the flying form's jaws.

This was the least of their troubles, however, as [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] showed up as soon as Sky Lynx was deactivated. This encounter also did not end well. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

[[File:Stormbringer4 Decepticonfliers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|"Whoever hits [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] gets the Cybertron Clearing House."]]
When [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] took command of the Decepticons, the Combaticons rebelled and left Cybertron, becoming mercenaries. While breaking into a weapons vault on the [[Presidium (planet)|Presidium]] they were approached by [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] and offered ample payment for returning to the Decepticon fold, which Blast Off and the other Combaticons accepted. {{storylink|Primacy issue 2|Primacy #2}}

Blast Off was part of the troop complement aboard the Decepticon warship ''[[Thanatos]]'' under the command of [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]]. With respect to the desperate defense the [[Wreckers]] were mounting against [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], Razorclaw sent out two squads of Decepticons to assist the Autobots; Blast Off was among the aerial forces led by [[Divebomb (G1)|Divebomb]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}

[[File:SpotlightArcee BlastOff.jpg|left|upright=1.95|thumb|Now that's just rude.]]
He was later reassigned to the Combaticons operating under [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]]'s [[Decepticon Secret Service]]. The Combaticons were used as an elite storming brigade in the attack on the [[Garrus-9]] penitentiary in an effort to capture the prison's [[Pretender Monster|newest inmates]] and their so-called [[Combiner|gestalt technology]]. Blast Off was right in the middle of chortling over the fun of killing folk when he was skewered by [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]]. The other Combaticons carried him out with them when they evacuated with their prizes. {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}}

After a deal was negotiated between Arcee and Banzai-Tron, Blast Off and the other Combaticons later helped her in an attempt to recapture [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] (who had been stolen by [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] and [[Nova Prime|Nemesis Prime]]'s forces), though the insane Autobot disappeared mid-battle. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

While Blast Off didn't participate in the Combaticons' [[North Korea|adventures]] on [[Earth]] for reasons unknown, he resurfaced years later on Cybertron as one of the Decepticons imprisoned by the Autobots following the end of the war. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|The Autonomy Lesson}} After the captive 'cons had gotten some level of freedom, Blast Off was part of a Cybertronian crowd recruited by [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] to pressure [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] into revealing a secret discovery below ground. Following Starscream into the cave, they witnessed a [[Titan (group)|Titan]] declare him the Cybertronian destined to unite their whole race. He and the other Cybertronians celebrated afterwards with Starscream. {{storylink|Primus: All Good Things}} Once [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] appeared in Iacon, Blast Off and the other Decepticons threw the peace aside and began rioting for a return to the good old days. {{storylink|City on Fire}}

Blast Off joined the riot for [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s space bridge under Swindle's claims that a better life was possible on Caminus. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} He later rejoined his fellow Combaticon teammates as they stewed over Starscream's leadership of Cybertron, with Blast Off being particularly angry about his attempts to sweep the past aside. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} A mysterious informant, DC-357, had already told them that Swindle might be a prisoner rather than a corpse {{storylink|07:00:00}} and they sprayed "SWINDLE LIVES" on a nearby wall as a statement of intent. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}}

To mark Chosen One Day, the Combaticons bought Onslaught a new grenade! {{storylink|Choose Me}}

[[File:0700 BlastOffOnslaught.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2]]
Months in, Blast Off and the others became worried Onslaught was wasting his time in the Swindle search. Blast Off tried and failed to get him to stop. After Onslaught stormed out, it was Blast Off that saw a new DC-357 message come in and inform them that he'd left a [[Badgeless]] disguise outside. Hoping to finally shake the tree, as already the Badgeless' violence was provoking resentment, Blast Off donned the garb, joined a patrol, and as soon as he got a chance he shot a Decepticon escapee dead and sent footage of it to the press. {{storylink|07:00:00}} As riots broke out, a sickened Blast Off headed home telling himself it had to be done.

To his dismay, Onslaught decided ''not'' to exploit the Badgeless killing as he felt it could be a Starscream plot to draw them out and so Blast Off had to come clean. This led to a new plan: the Combaticons arranged a march on the government while they waited for an opening. When [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] emerged to say he was now in charge of reforming the Badgeless and he was throwing the doors open to anyone, Onslaught and Blast Off organised a 'fight' where Blast Off would protect Ironhide, denounce Onslaught's methods, and ask to join the coppers. It worked so well, Blast Off even found [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]] offering him a new place to crash. He then checked if Onslaught was alright and was told his boss was proud of him for such a sweet con. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}

While undercover, Blast Off quickly became a star pupil of Ironhide, even becoming "good friends" with the other officers. After a while, his snooping paid off; he learned that [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] had moved Swindle's body after his death. He quickly informed Onslaught and shortly later, he and Vortex were dispatched to capture Wheeljack. They were intercepted by Chromia but used her to convince Wheeljack into coming with them. Wheeljack and Rattrap informed them that Swindle was brain dead, and Blast Off tried to make Onslaught stop as it was now pointless, but to no avail. Blast Off followed Onslaught into the inner workings of Metroplex regardless and soon they found Swindle, hooked up to life support. Rattrap then came back and gave Onslaught the Enigma of Combination, who told Blast Off that after this, they won't need anyone else ever again. {{storylink|Things We Said We'd Never Do}}

[[File:TheLineBetweenUs CombaticonsAntespace.jpg|thumb|upright=2.0|right]]
The Combaticons merged and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] was formed, Blast Off serving as the right arm. Because of the brain dead Swindle, the combiner was very unstable, leaving it up to Blast Off to try and keep everyone unified. He fought with Onslaught for control over Bruticus, saying that there is no point for this level of violence against civilians. Eventually Bruticus was stopped by Ironhide, and when the gestalt divided into its components, Blast Off apologized to Onslaught for not being able to save him before passing out. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}

Blast Off and the other Combaticons were imprisoned and awaiting trial, though Ironhide was reluctant to prosecute them if their mental scarring proved too great. {{storylink|Ping}}

[[File:ThePriceOfYou-smoochy.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.35|''Our love is a spiral Our <s>blood</s> oils are a spiral And our <s>blood</s> oils shall be exchanged!'']]
The Combaticons were still comatose when Starscream told the [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Eukarian]] [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgeon]] [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]] to turn them to his side as one of his combiners. In Blast Off's mind he woke up next to Onslaught, revealing that Blast Off had a thing for Onslaught. It was soon revealed by Starscream who was also there that this was all a dream, and that if Blast Off took his offer to help him sway the Combaticons for his side he could make this a reality. All he needed in exchange was for Blast Off to be aware of the false memories and to cover any holes in their story should the others get suspicious. Initially revolted by the idea of living a lie, Blast Off soon relented after Starscream reminded him that Onslaught would never let the past go or ever take any real interest in him. As a result, Onslaught and the others were made to believe that Onslaught's original deal with Starscream had worked out, with the Combaticons having been his secret and loyal bodyguards, and that their forming of Bruticus had been a last-ditch attempt to save Swindle's life with Starscream's approval.

Once Onslaught woke up, he saw Blast Off watching over him. He then touched Blast Off's hand, revealing Starscream kept his promise to make Onslaught notice him. {{storylink|The Price of You}} Onslaught mistook Blast Off's guilt for worry, and Blast Off assured him that he was glad things had worked out. Soon the Combaticons "resumed" their work of protecting Starscream, and Blast Off and Onslaught arranged a date. After the latter's first day "back", Starscream questioned how things were working, mocking Blast Off on how terrible things must be for him now. Blast Off claimed he had never wanted this, but Starscream retorted that he shouldn't pretend it wasn't. Frustrated, Blast Off demanded to see Swindle to make sure Starscream had kept his word to have him repaired. As Airachnid was finishing up on manipulating and repairing him, Swindle greeted his teammate, thanking Blast Off for how far he and the others had apparently gone to save him. {{storylink|If I Know You}}

Vortex and Blast Off later stood guard outside Starscream's office as Windblade confronted Starscream, and Blast Off was disturbed at Vortex's suggestions as to what was going on. During the final debate, Starscream revealed all of his crimes to the public, including the manipulation of the Combaticons. As a result, all of the Combaticons were imprisoned for their rampage as Bruticus, and because of his role in their manipulation, Blast Off was ostracized by the others, being shunned by his former lover as a bittersweet aftertaste. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

Blast Off's preferred fighting style from a distance left him isolated, easy to capture and imprison on Cybertron so the Autobots could take Bruticus out of the picture.

He was eventually reunited with the rest of the team. [[Onslaught (G1)#Prime Wars Trilogy marketing material|Onslaught]] subsequently mandated that he switch his alternate mode once again in order to stay close, so - much to Blast Off's anger - he reformatted into a fighter jet. Onslaught welcomed this new temperment because he considered his subordinate to be a more effective soldier afterwards. {{storylink|Source:Combiner Wars pack-in comic bios|Decepticon Blast Off's bio}} He was equally happy blasting Autobots from space as he was planet-side, so this anger was likely a form of [[mode attachment]]. {{storylink|#PWTSE|''Special Edition'' Decepticon Blast Off's bio}}

:''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Blast Off transforms into an {{w|Space Shuttle|International NASA Space Shuttle}}. In this mode, he is armed with two laser cannons mounted to his engines. In [[robot mode]] Blast Off is armed with a small laser pistol and his two laser cannons, which are now mounted on his legs. He usually forms Bruticus' right arm, but as a [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and 2010)|Scramble City]]-style toy, he can be connected with any limb slot on Bruticus.

:The initial release of Blast Off had a [[die-cast]] metal chest, but like several other 1986 toys, later releases replaced this with colored plastic. In [[1987]], he came packaged with a random Decepticon [[Decoy]].

This version uses the plastic chest, and his [[rubsign]] indent has been filled in for this release. Another change on this mold is that the inside of his arms does not contain the peg needed to attach to the other arm, as a result, in shuttle mode his arms do not lock together.

His markings include his initials on his tread housings and a five-pointed star which, combined with his color scheme, gives his tank mode a somewhat Soviet feel. When combined with the other Combaticons, Blast Off is nominally Bruticus Maximus's right arm, though he can be used in any other limb position.

:He was only available as part of the ''Universe'' Bruticus Maximus [[giftset]], which also contains [[Brawl (G1)#Universe (2008)|Decepticon Brawl]], another redeco of the same sculpt used for Blast Off. The ''Universe'' version of the giftset was initially intended to be released as a [[Target]] exclusive in the United States, but ultimately ended up being only available in some non-American markets such as Australia and Singapore.

:A [[redeco]] of Blast Off from the [[Bruticus (WFC)#Generations|Decepticon Bruticus]] gift set was available individually alongside his fellow [[Combaticon (WFC)#Toys|Combaticons]] as part of the second [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]''-themed 2012-onwards Deluxe Class ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' assortment.

Blast Off replaces the primarily tan colors and purple details of the giftset release with a mainly purple body and yellow detailing, and features new yellow paint operations on his blaster.

:Unsurprisingly for an Aligned toy inspired by Generation 1, ''Fall of Cybertron'' Blast Off appeared in many Generation 1-based stories.

:In 2016, Collection 1 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Blast Off has the biggest change of all of the remade Kreons, as his dark brown plastics have been turned to an odd greenish-tan, the same color of his pre-release prototype at [[BotCon 2012]]. His torso [[tampograph]] has also been reworked to be slightly more detailed, and the formerly-bare legs now have extra detail tampographing on them. What flat gray paint he did have has been changed to metallic silver. Also the 1x2 "roof" block has been replaced with a 1x2 bare plate, possibly due to a factory change?

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

: Released in the fifth wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxes, "Decepticon Blast Off" is a redeco of [[Slingshot (G1)#Generations|Quickslinger]], transforming from robot to what is more or less a Harrier jump jet (thematically fitting with the "Combaticon" moniker). We can only assume that the use of Quickslinger's head sculpt over [[Fireflight (G1)#Generations|Firefly]]'s [[mouthplate]]d one has something to do with the sort-of visor that Blast Off acquired via coloring error in the Generation 1 cartoon. He includes two [[5 mm post|5 mm]] weapon accessories: an "ionic blaster" (sculpted to resemble a flamethrower) and "X-ray cannons" that can also transform into a hand or a foot.

: As a ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe figure, Blast Off can also transform into an arm or a leg for a Combiner, including forming [[Bruticus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Bruticus]] with his fellow [[Combaticon (G1)#Combiner Wars|Combaticons]]. He can also form with any ''Unite Warriors'' Voyager Class figure or even into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs.

:Copies of Blast Off in monolingual English packaging include a copy of [[The End of the Beginning of the World|''Robots in Disguise'' #11]], labelled in the indicia as ''Combiner Wars'' #3. In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead. He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up at TJ Maxx at reduced prices with the collector card.

:''Combiner Wars'' Special Edition Blast Off is a redeco of ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' [[Movor#Unite Warriors|Shuttler]], which in turn is a slight retool and reassembly of [[#Unite Warriors|''Unite Warriors'' Blast Off]]. This is the first release of this tooling by Hasbro, featuring a dark brown deco more accurate to his original toy as well as the toy-accurate Shuttler-style reverse chest as compared to the ''Unite Warriors'' release.

:Like Shuttler, this Blast Off features a retooled neck piece that prevents his head from falling off while handling and enlarged tabs on his legs to prevent the vehicle and arm modes from falling apart. Unlike Shuttler, however, Blast Off has his arms swapped at his shoulders' ball joints as opposed to at the bicep swivel; as a result, the protrusions on the shoulders prevents the arms from folding up in properly in arm mode. You can easily reassemble them either to fix this, or if desired, into the same configuration as the ''Unite Warriors'' release.

:As part of a trio of "Special Edition" toys celebrating the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'', he is packaged in a premium window box and includes a redeco of the [[The Fallen/toys#Combiner Wars|Megatronus]] [[Prime Master]] (sans [[Bomb-Burst (G1)#Generations|Bomb-Burst]] decoy suit) cast in translucent red plastic. Unlike the other ''Combiner Wars'' Combaticons (including his original ''Combiner Wars'' figure), his hand/foot/gun has metallic silver paint, making it stand out from the dull bare gray plastic of the others.

:He is also mildly mistransformed in the box, as his feet are unfolded into vehicle mode position and the tip of his shuttle nose isn't folded away into his backpack.

:While clearly intended to go with your ''Combiner Wars'' [[Bruticus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Bruticus]], his instructions suggest combining him with any ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Voyager class figure instead.

:Blast Off was first publicly revealed via preorder listings on [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and several Asia-based toy retailers without a prior announcement from Hasbro. This set was an Amazon exclusive in the U.S. but was available at retailers such as [[Toys"R"Us]] in Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Singapore.

:Unlike [[Repugnus (G1)#PWTSE|Repugnus]] and [[Punch (G1)#Power of the Primes|Punch-Counterpunch]], this Blast Off didn't have a Japanese release as this mold was already released two years prior.

Blast Off also comes with a newly-sculpted weapon based on his G1 blaster, as well as a new hand/foot/gun accessory that can be used to transform him into an arm or a leg compatible with any ''Unite Warriors''/''Combiner Wars'' combiner teams, or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs. In vehicle mode, his blaster pegs under his nosecone to become landing gear. The shuttle's tailfin is removed during transformation and pegged (in halves) on the robot mode's back, replicating his original character model.

: As you would expect, he combines with his fellow ''Age of the Primes'' Combaticons (or, at least, Onslaught's frame) to form [[Bruticus (G1)#Age of the Primes|Bruticus]].

==Notes==
[[File:G1OddCombat.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|]]
*Blast-Off had the working name of Countdown.
*Blast Off's odd choice of alternate mode compared to his teammates can be chalked down to the Combaticons' original wavemates, the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s, all possessing jet alternate modes. Hence, the desire to give the two airborne Combaticons unique alternate modes.
*The [[character model]]s of the Combaticons are kinda... okay, heavily made-up. Early models of the team which were a bit more accurate to the toys-except for the heads, oddly enough–have shown up in various sourcebooks, though Blast Off's is still off in some very odd ways. Blast Off's final animation model apparently mis-interpreted his forehead crest as a visor, giving him one funkily arranged face, for example.
*The packaging of the 1991 European [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] release of the original [[Onslaught (G1)#1991Classic|Onslaught]] toy depicted the Combaticons in (mostly) [[:File:EuroClassicsCombaticons.jpg|new color schemes]], despite the fact that the actual toys looked identical to their original releases. While it may never be known for certain, it has been theorized that these colors originated from a packaging printing error rather than a legitimate attempt to [[redeco]] the Combaticons.
*In the ''[[Transformers: Wings Universe|Wings Universe]]'' continuity the Combaticons are swayed to the Decepticon side by Deathsaurus appealing to their darker natures, represented by one of the Seven Deadly Sins. As noted above, Blast Off is convinced by the offer of a [[Triple Changer]] upgrade so he'd be, y'know, useful (he already has three different vehicle modes in his various toy representations that all tickle down as Blitzwing). His vice is thus Envy.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Blast Off''' (ブレストオフ ''Buresuto Ofu'')<ref>Normally, the word "blast" is rendered in katakana as ブラスト (''burasuto'')—like in [[Strongarm (Energon)|Blastarm]] or [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Broadblast]]. However, the katakana used in Blast Off's Japanese name is most decidedly ブレスト (''buresuto'')—which is usually used to render the English word "breast". This same spelling was later used to render the first part of [[Blast Master]]'s name, an unrelated shuttle character released years later. It is likely that this was simply one of the many name mistransliterations in Generation 1 that stuck.</ref>

'''Bruticus''' is the combined form of the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] team. A terrifying sight on the battlefield, Bruticus is among the strongest of all Transformers. He can pulverize a suspension bridge with a single 14,000 psi punch. He can lift up to 500,000 pounds. His armor is impervious to most artillery and radiation.

Bruticus became active for the first time during a battle between [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]'s rogue Decepticon brigade and Megatron's forces. Anticipating [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s expected moves, he waited for his former leader to order the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] to merge into [[Devastator (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Devastator]]. Starscream then unleashed his surprise—he similarly ordered the Combaticons to form the mighty Bruticus. Though extremely low in intelligence, even by the standards of combined robots, he was also extremely powerful, easily defeating Devastator and sending the remaining Decepticons loyal to Megatron into retreat. Unfortunately, the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] arrived and formed [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], who launched an attack from behind, quickly subduing Bruticus. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

[[File:Bruticus cartoon.jpg|thumb|"Bruticus crush... Bruticus destroy human who draw Bruticus wrong!"]]
Starscream and the Combaticons were banished from [[Earth]] on an asteroid, and the group quickly had a falling-out. After Starscream left, the Combaticons attacked [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], easily defeating [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and his drones. Thirsting for revenge, the Combaticons reprogrammed the [[space bridge]] to pull Earth closer to the Sun, in the hopes of destroying it and every Transformer there. The Autobots and Decepticons temporarily joined forces to retake Cybertron and prevent Earth's destruction, and with Starscream's help, they deactivated the Combaticons once they formed Bruticus through a failsafe device built into the treacherous giant's back. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron agreed that Bruticus must be destroyed, but the Decepticon leader fooled the Autobots by using Shockwave's holographic simulator to make it appear as though Bruticus was destroyed, when in reality the combiner was reprogrammed to be loyal only to Megatron. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

[[File:Revenge of bruticus 2 threratenShockwave.jpg|left|thumb|"Bruticus want be drawn proper!"]]
Soon afterwards, during Megatron's latest scheme on Earth involving the theft of fighter aircraft using Middle-Eastern criminals, the Combaticons were called into service to defend Megatron's [[Giant Purple Griffin]], a large... thing that apparently pumped oil. Or something. Struggling against the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], the Combaticons formed Bruticus, yet were still knocked over when the Autobot planes twisted a tow cable around his legs. The Decepticon combiner was finally defeated when the Aerialbots ignited the nearby oil wells, causing a massive explosion that sent Megatron, [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and Bruticus flying away. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}}

Later, Bruticus was walking down the street, minding his own business (i.e. attacking a human city) when BAM! Bruticus was destroyed in battle with [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] (man, this guy can't seem to catch a break). Only Swindle survived, and he sold the remains of his comrades to various mercenaries and [[El Presidente|third-world dictator-types]], only to be forced to locate and rebuild the Combaticons by Megatron. The reformed Bruticus was then defeated when Megatron's [[orbit disruptor cannon]] was overloaded by the human-built [[B.O.T. (G1)|B.O.T.]], once again sending the Decepticon flying into the sky. {{storylink|B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.}}

[[File:Revenge of bruticus 16 brains.jpg|left|thumb|"See! Bruticus head not empty!"]]
For some reason, in the year 2006 the Combaticons were idly hanging around as Bruticus during the Decepticon occupation of [[Paradron]]. He served as something of a comic foil for [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], acting as straight-man while Galvatron delivered witticisms that were completely lost on the giant warrior. Also... that old line about "losing your head if you weren't attached to it"? Apparently, you can lose a foot even if it was attached, because [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] was manning a molecular cannon while Bruticus was in the control room with Galvatron. If you don't watch those feet, they just run right off on their own. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}}

During a Decepticon invasion of Japan, Bruticus was battling Defensor near a dojo. He enraged his opponent by negligently putting the humans in danger with their combat and, once [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] arrived to back up Defensor, Bruticus split into the individual Combaticons and fled. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

Invading [[Gregory Swofford|Swofford]] and [[Mark Morgan|Morgan]]'s lab, Bruticus was the first Decepticon infected by the [[Hate Plague]]. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

[[File:SCcelMenSupBrut.jpg|thumb|Et tu, Bruticus?]]
In 1986, the Autobots and their human allies worked diligently on their "Scramble City" project, a giant mobile fortress. Several Decepticons under the command of Starscream were dispatched to attack the secret construction site, but were defeated by the Aerialbots. Due to Starscream's failure to stop the Aerialbots, the Stunticons were quickly sent in, and soon in the battle formed Menasor. Menasor managed to corrupt Superion's formation by shooting one of ''his own'' limbs onto his opponent, rendering Superion vulnerable. However, he was soon stopped, and Superion regained his balance. Eventually, the Combaticons came in to help Menasor (though not willingly), forming Bruticus. The two tag-teamed against Superion, but were both stopped when [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City itself]] was brought into battle to end the conflict. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

Bruticus joined up with several other Decepticon combiners during a Decepticon assault on Cybertron, {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} but they were all driven away by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} When the Combaticons were sent out to stop [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] from finding the [[Matrix of Leadership]], they clashed with the Protectobots again. Both teams combined, but Defensor eventually blasted the mountain behind Bruticus, who was buried in the ensuing rockfall. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}} While defending [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] against intruders, the Combaticons formed Bruticus to fight back against the incoming [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

Bruticus scuffled with Defensor yet again during a new attack on Cybertron, {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} but was defeated by a flying punch to the neck. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}} Next up, Bruticus was set with ambushing any Autobots who came to stop [[buridanka|a giant carnivorous plant]] planted by the Decepticons in [[San Francisco]]. When the [[Trainbot]]s arrived, Bruticus and [[Raiden]] did battle with energy swords. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}}

[[File:Hm35 Bruticus holding Computron.jpg|thumb]]
Bruticus was formed by the Combaticons as part of Sixshot's major strike on Earth. He attacked an Autobot outpost as four other outposts were being assaulted simultaneously by the other Decepticons. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

On the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], Bruticus later helped a group of Decepticons lead Fortress Maximus away from their base. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} Later, back on Earth, he stood by and laughed as [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] sank the luxury liner ''[[Queen World]]'' off the coast of Lisbon, Portugal. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} Bruticus participated in the large-scale battle with the Autobots at the North Pole, and held down [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] so [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] could kick him. When [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s energy-absorbing satellite started tearing the Earth apart, Bruticus retreated into the atmosphere to watch the results alongside the rest of the Decepticon forces. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

Over fifteen years later, after several more Decepticon leaders had come and gone, the faction came under the rulership of the supernatural entity [[Violengiguar]]. This mysterious creature's first action was to recruit a team of [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] from Decepticon history; Bruticus was enlisted as his "Flame General" and outfitted with new armor and weaponry to make him even more powerful than before. Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], Violengiguar sent his generals forth to conquer planets. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} Bruticus was the first to encounter the [[Autobot]]s when he attacked the planet [[Feminia]]. He was defeated by the combined might of the [[Rescue Patrol Team]], [[Super Car Patrol Team]], [[Battle Patrol|Battle Patrol Team]], [[Galaxy Rocket]] and [[Moonradar (G1)|Moonradar]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 2}}

The Generals later schooled [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]] and the [[Metrosquad]] in the ways of evil, making them more than formidable foes for the Powered Masters. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 7}}

Bruticus did little with the new power Violengiguar gave him; while he joined Abominus, Menasor, and Overlord on a raid for [[Energon Z]] on planet [[Micro|Zone]], he was not seen to engage in battle at any time. His comrades waded through the barrage of firepower unleashed by Zone Base, fending off attacks by the Micromasters, and tore the Energon Z power core out of the base. Bruticus then joined his comrades in escaping with their prize, which they handed off to the other generals to take to Earth as they searched for the Zodiac there. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

In battle with a scrambled version of [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], Abominus crashed into Bruticus and Menasor and stole some of their limb components to make an even stronger version of himself. {{storylink|Abominus comic 2}}

When Superion and Defensor teamed up to take on Menasor as he was attacking a baseball stadium, Bruticus stepped in to aid his fellow Decepticon combiner. After a short skirmish, the Decepticons seemed assured a victory, until Bruticus got his legs knocked off. [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] then latched onto the stumps and blasted Bruticus away, dumping him in the Pacific Ocean, far away from Japan. {{storylink|Fight!

The Combaticons pursued a dog imbued with Decepticon super-science until [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] interfered. They combined into Bruticus as a unit of Autobot [[Mini Vehicle|Minibots]] came to aid Powerglide, but the dog granted the awesome energy within it to Powerglide, allowing him to [[Minibot combiner|combine with the other Autobots]] and blow Bruticus away. {{storylink|Fight!

In the year [[2010]], Bruticus participated in a Decepticon attack on the planet Feminia, battling alongside Devastator 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 Bruticus 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}}

The [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] united to attack planet Feminia, destroying it utterly.

Bruticus, together with [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], and [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], attacked planet Zone; striking quickly, they stole the Energon Z before the local [[Micromaster]] teams could even muster a defense.

Combination technology was something the [[Decepticon Warlord]] [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]] had long tinkered with, since the days of his fortress in [[Gygax]]. Although his early experiments were discontinued thanks to the [[Elite Guard|Autobot Elite Guard]], he remained interested in the idea, and eventually found the perfect means to implement it. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 36|Bruticus's profile in Club magazine #36}}

When the Combaticons were swayed to joining forces with Deathsaurus they received various upgrades. They demonstrated the most potent of these upgrades when they were surrounded by their former comrades in the Elite Guard and combined into Bruticus. The combiner then proceeded to crush their former commanding officer Sentinel Major with one mighty hand. This prompted the other Elite Guardsmen to attack in search of vengeance. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 5}}

Tragically for the Guard, Bruticus proved to be virtually unstoppable and easily wiped out several of the Elite Guard teams before [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]]'s Strike Team arrived. Despite the heroic efforts of [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]] and [[Over-Run (G1)|Over-Run]], Bruticus quickly slew them before [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] managed to blind the mighty combiner and force him to separate. This forced the Combaticons to retreat, but not before killing Metalhawk as well. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 6}}

The Combaticons underwent repairs at Deathsaurus's base, but shocked to learn that the repairs included a remote activation for their combination into Bruticus. The combiner, confused and still blinded from his battle, lashed out at the Constructicons repairing him, and they were forced to use the override they'd fitted to stop the giant in his tracks. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 1}} {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 2}} During the battle to defend the base against the Elite Guard, the Combaticons again attempted to form Bruticus, only to be promptly blasted. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 3}}

Because the Combaticons minds had imprinted on each other during their combination, Airachnid found them more susceptible to the process, and thus had them believe that they had always been working for Starscream, using the inside man Blast Off to cover any holes in the story. As a result, the Combaticons came to believe that their forming of Bruticus had been a last-ditch attempt to save Swindle's life with Starscream's approval. {{storylink|The Price of You}}

[[File:TF2023 no. 16 - BruticusVsDevastator.jpg|right|300px|thumb]]
After a failed attempt at merging during a battle aboard the downed ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'', {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 9|Transformers #9}} the Combaticons, after being recruited by Starscream, were finally able to form Bruticus during a battle against Soundwave's team of Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 15|Transformers #15}} Not to be outdone, Soundwave ordered the Constructicons to to merge into [[Devastator (G1)#Energon Universe|Devastator]]. The titanic warriors fought as their respective leaders tussled below, all watched from a distance by [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Energon Universe|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Autobot]]s. In a spurt of rage, Prime fired on the Decepticons with his [[fusion cannon]], causing the dam they were fighting on to collapse. Bruticus and Devastator continued their battle even as they were pushed on by the raging river. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 16|Transformers #16}}

Eventually arriving in [[Seattle]], the Decepticons' civil war continued, with Bruticus getting the top of the Space Needle thrown at them by Devastator and receiving an uppercut for good measure. The city itself suffered catastrophic damage during the fight as the Autobots rushed to save as many humans as they could from being crushed underfoot by the grappling giants. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 17|Transformers #17}} Bruticus broke off the fight with Devastator to rescue the downed Starscream, but this distraction allowed Devastator to RKO Bruticus off a skyscraper and into the pavement. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 18|Transformers #18}}

Bruticus was active once again to participate in an all-out assault on the Ark, but his feud with Devastator boiled over once again, and the two began to fight each other instead of the Autobots. [[Megatron (G1)#Energon Universe|Megatron]] managed to straighten them out, but before the two could see who could crush Autobots better, they were taken out of the fight by the newly arrived [[Superion (G1)#energon Universe|Superion]].{{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 21|Transformers #21}}

Devastator and Bruticus then fought the assembled US Military along with the other Decepticons, with the two combiners competing over how many humans they could kill. (Devastator was leading 37-23, to Bruticus' disapproval.) {{storylink| Transformers (2023) issue 22|Transformers #22}}

*'''Bruticus''' (Multi-pack, [[1986]], [[1991]], [[2009]])
**''Takara ID number:'' '''D-69'''

:''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Bruticus is formed from all five Combaticon toys. The four smaller Combaticons attach via sockets in Onslaught's shoulders and the bottom of his feet. Fists and feet pads attach onto the four limbs, and Bruticus is completed with a large chest plate and a helmet covering Onslaught's head. He wields Onslaught's [[sonic stun-gun]] in battle. The gun can also be stored on his backpack using two rectangular pegs which hold the gun in place via its targeting sight. As with all [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and Transformers 2010)|Scramble City]]-style [[combiner]] teams, his limbs can be rearranged into any slot of one's choosing.

:The package art of Bruticus has the leg formed by Brawl face forward. Having him face backward like his in-show (look at the right picture) doesn't affect the stability of the gestalt.

:Along with Metroplex, Menasor, Defensor, and Superion, Bruticus was designed for an aborted ''[[Diaclone]]'' subline that would have been called ''[[Diaclone#Jizai Gattai|Jizai Gattai]]'' (自在合体 "Limitless Combination"), which was shelved to make way for the ''Transformers'' line.

:In most markets, only the individual Combaticons were released, with the [[giftset]] only made available in Japan and Italy. The Italian box layout was based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, down to the inclusion of a Hasbro product code number; but unlike the other [[GiG]] combiner giftsets, "Multiforce" lacked the Hasbro logo on the front of the box, and the individual components sported Takara numbers from D-64 to D-68 before their names.

:The individual Combaticons were re-released in various European markets as part of the "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]" line in 1991, and a Bruticus giftset was reissued by [[TakaraTomy]] in Japan in 2009.

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Franks]] (deco artist)}}

: This version of Bruticus comes as a gift set, [[exclusive]] to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[BigBadToyStore]]. Packaged in a ''Generation 2''-styled box complete with hand-painted character art, it contains [[redeco]]es of all five ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticons]] in their Generation 1 doppelgangers' ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' colors, complete with ''Generation 2'' Decepticon insignia. While Onslaught forms the torso, the remaining team members can serve as any of the four limbs, though the official configuration has Vortex as the left arm, Blast Off as the right arm, Brawl as the left leg, and Swindle as the right leg. The individual weapons the Combaticons have can be combined into a "Sonic Cannon" for Bruticus to wield via [[5 mm post]].

: Like the original releases of the mold, this Bruticus also possessed some balance issues. This is mostly caused by having all of the Combaticons being Deluxes, Onslaught included. Although the 4 limb Combaticons can assume either an arm or foot position, certain members fare very poorly in certain modes, such as Brawl as an arm or Blast Off as a leg, which creates further balancing problems for Bruticus.

: Preorders for the set began on [[July 6]] of 2012 via Amazon (BigBadToyStore would not put up theirs until much later), and the final product was shipped out in early/mid-November. This may be considered a tie-in to Amazon's preorder bonus for the ''Fall of Cybertron'' game: a "''Generation 2''"-themed skin for Bruticus. This set was also available at normal retail in Australia.

: These molds were [[retool]]ed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Ruination (FOC)#Toys|Ruination]].

While [[Brawl (G1)#Universe (2008)|Brawl]] and [[Vortex (G1)#Universe (2008)|Vortex]] retain their previous modes of tank and helicopter respectively, [[Blast Off (G1)#Universe (2008)|Blast Off]] is now the combiner's second tank, and [[Swindle (G1)#Universe (2008)|Swindle]] a sand-colored helicopter. As a redeco of an ''Energon'' combiner, Bruticus Maximus feature universal connection points for the limbs, allowing many different combinations and even swapping of limbs from different ''Energon'' Combiner teams.

Additionally, the hand/feet/weapons previously cast in translucent coloured plastic are now opaque grey.

:While unconfirmed, it seems likely that this release was conceived to satisfy then-high collector demand for the original ''Universe'' Bruticus Maximus set, a result of the unofficial Explorer and Munitioner upgrade kits released for the figure by "[[IP theft|third party]]" company FansProject.

**''Set number'': '''A2225'''
{{toydesigner|[[Ed Masiello]] (Hasbro)}}

:One of the first ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Micro-Changer]] combiner sets, Bruticus includes four [[Kreon]]s: [[Onslaught (G1)#Kre-O|Onslaught]], [[Brawl (G1)#Kre-O|Brawl]], [[Vortex (G1)#Kre-O|Vortex]], and [[Swindle (G1)#Kre-O|Swindle]]. These four component Kreons can be rebuilt into their alternate modes or taken apart and combined into Bruticus.

:Like all Micro Changer combiner sets, Bruticus comes with only ''one'' Kre-O display brick, and a sticker sheet composed of his leg, arm and right shoulder details and a ''Kre-O'' logo. Due to the limb stickers being slightly transparent, applying them into the black-colored leg parts could render the details being semi-transparent. The instructions also did not mention where you should put the ''Kre-O'' logo sticker. Also, Bruticus's combined mode's waist part is somehow prone to falling off from the assembly while posing, and he has a problem standing straight due to how the legs are constructed.

:Despite Blast Off's exclusion from the set, he was later released in the first wave of blind bag figures and, with enough creativity, can be combined into Bruticus.

:''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Bruticus is formed from all five Combaticon figures and [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Shockwave]]. Designed in the "Scramble City" style, all four Deluxe Combaticons can each become either an arm or a leg, and come with double-barrelled guns that can transform into either a foot or a fist to complete the limb. The stock photography shows Blast Off and Vortex as arms and Swindle and Brawl as legs. Shockwave transforms into the combiner robot's handheld weapon, but his overall weight makes it largely impossible for him to be held by any combiner in a firing pose without falling over or pulling the arm down. Even worse, as Onslaught is retooled from [[Hot Spot (G1)#Combiner Wars|Hot Spot]], Bruticus retains [[Defensor (G1)#Generations|Defensor]]'s forward-lean problem. Unlike Defensor however, the leaning problem can be resolved by turning Bruticus's thighs inward, forcing the pelvis armor to push against Onslaught's knees and correcting his posture, although this will force Bruticus into a strange A-legged stance.

:A promotional CGI render of the combined mode has Bruticus slightly mistransformed, having Blast Off's legs facing knees forward in his arm mode, which would leave Bruticus' left arm without a double elbow. Though difficult, it is ''possible'' to arrange Vortex's rotors in a shield-like position.

:Like [[Defensor (G1)#Generations|Defensor]] before him, all four limbs were released in the same wave, making it much easier to complete a set. He is also the first "classic" combiner in the ''Combiner Wars'' series to not have a "replacement" member. However, Blast Off was relegated to a simple redeco of [[Slingshot (G1)#Combiner Wars|Quickslinger]], leaving him with a different alt-mode (a jet instead of a space shuttle) and an inaccurate head. In 2018 Hasbro released a redeco of the Unite Warriors version of Blast Off ([[Bruticus (G1)#Unite Warriors|see below]]) as a more accurate replacement.

However, despite being (broadly) accurate in their base colors, all of the Combaticons have Generation 1 insignias, while Shockwave comes with the movie version of the Decepticon faction symbol.

: There is no ''Generation 2''-colored version of the Space Shuttle Blast Off toy, sorry. You only get the jet.

: Weirdly, the ''backs'' of the antennae on Bruticus's head are painted silver, rather than the front where they'd be far more noticeable/make any amount of sense. On the other hand, the original ''Generation 2'' Bruticus had unpainted antennae, so hey.

: This version of the combiner was only sold as a complete team in a big box set, which also included a poster and a collector card based on the packaging art.

Vortex splits in half as the limb-bots before him and is even compatible with Superion's arm frame. The legs are Voyagers rather than the Deluxe leg-bots of Superion and Menasor, implying that they could form the whole leg like the concurrently-released Studio Series Scrapper and Mixmaster.

[[File:EuroClassicsBruticus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|First person to insert a "Don't shoot the caption" gag gets summarily banned.]]

* Much like the individual Combaticons who form him, Bruticus's [[character model]] has a couple of oddities, due to the majority of it being based on unfinished, vague toy design sketches (at right) instead of actual toy references.
** Bruticus's chest plate is drawn to look like it is formed from parts of [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]]—mainly his wings, but the central portion of the chestplate is drawn to look like his shuttle cockpit hull, with the orientation of its details reversed. Certain detailed combination sequences, seen in "[[Aerial Assault]]," "[[The Revenge of Bruticus]]", and "[[B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.]]", actually show Blast Off's wings disconnecting and moving into place as the chestplate, but these sequences also misinterpret some of Bruticus's details, and wind up depicting the two wheels at the base of the chestplate, which are supposed to be part of Onslaught's torso, as being connected to the plate and hence part of Blast Off.
** While Bruticus' toy has wheels on the back of its thighs, his cartoon model only depicts this detail on his ''left'' thigh, almost certainly a product of his rear-view character model being designed without the toy for reference, like multiple other season 2 characters—not that it matters much in practise, as the odd detail is almost consistently omitted from his actual in-show appearances.
** Bruticus has two head designs in the cartoon: the detailed one seen in his full-body character model, which features in most of his animated appearances, and a simplified, more angular one that appears consistently in "[[The Revenge of Bruticus]]" and "[[Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee]]," and in select brief scenes of other episodes.
* The packaging of the 1991 [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European]] [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] release of the original Onslaught toy depicted Bruticus and the Combaticons in (mostly) new color schemes, despite the fact that the actual toys looked identical to their original releases. While it may never be known for certain, it has been theorized that these colors were the cause of an error with the hue settings of the [[stock photography|stock photos]], rather than a legitimate attempt to [[redeco]] the Combaticons.
* Several attributes of [[Action Master Elite]] [[Turbo Master]], including his face and chest plate, suggest that he was originally intended to be Bruticus. However, according to ''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations Deluxe]]'', at one point a non-transforming version of Action Master Bruticus was planned, which would have looked significantly different from [[Turbo Master]].
* For every version of the original Bruticus mold, the packaging art depicts the Brawl figure on backwards.
*''Earth Wars'' Bruticus's character model is a (more proportionate) recreation of his ''Combiner Wars'' toy.
* ''Earth Wars'' Bruticus's Earth Shatter ability is most likely a reference to his [[Bruticus (WFC)|''Fall of Cybertron'' counterpart]]'s shockwave ability, given how it affects a large area and do mass amounts of damage. The same could also be said about Shockfire Missiles, during his boss fight in the final few parts of ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'', in which the cannons on his back to deal damage to the player, though in this case you can actually do it ''while'' using him.

Liliesrobots: /* Action Edition */

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its own box.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their base's faction symbol activates their light features, vigorous shaking not required.

===Defender Version===
Launched in late 2024, ''Defender Version'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining much of the articulation. In addition, Defender introduces buildable alt modes with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants. They have also teased a ''DV'' Devastator, constructed from the vehicular Constructicons released each wave.

While the first wave features circular pogs-like collectible cards, later waves of the toy would change it to rectangular cards.

'''Optimus Prime''' is a bit of a shill.
==Stamp Bot==
[[File:OptimusPrime-StampBot-1984.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|Truck stamp is cool!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984)
:Made by [[HG Toys]], Stamp Bot Optimus Prime is a small, non-poseable figurine of Optimus Prime based on his toy with a rubber stamp on the base, and a cap with a felt "floor" that was soaked in ink. The stamp made an image of Optimus Prime's cab mode.
{{-}}

==Knitting Pattern==
[[File:Transformers-knitting-pattern.JPG|thumb|Here to transform your sweater into something that will get your ass kicked.]]
*'''Wendy DK 3015''' (1986)
: Produced by U.K. company [[Wendy DK]] and designed by [[Joy Gammon]], this pamphlet contained patterns for two ''Transformers''-themed sweaters, one featuring Optimus Prime in robot mode, one featuring Optimus Prime in vehicle mode. The patterns were sized as Children's Large, so you're going to have to upscale it quite a bit if you want your <s>girlfriend</s> mom to knit you one.
{{-}}

==Oral Care Station==
*'''Optimus Prime Oral Care Station''' (1984/85?)
:An electric toothbrush in the likeness of Optimus Prime. A battery-operated feature causes the toothbrush (attached at Prime's left wrist) to move back and forth. The set also included a cup for [[water]], an extra brush head, and a stand to hold the various accoutrements.

==The Transformers Cookie Jar==
*'''The Transformers Cookie Jar''' (1984?)
:A ceramic cookie jar in the likeness of Optimus Prime's head. The top of Prime's head lifts off for the storage of delicious baked goods or Energon or what-have-you. The cookie jar was manufactured by [[Great American Housewares]] under license from [[Hasbro]].

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Tfcaramel optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Note: Do not eat! ... the candy. The toys taste better.]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A small soft-rubber figurine (known as a ''keshigomu'' in Japan) of Optimus Prime was released as part of [[Kabaya]]'s line of ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]]s. Like all the figures from the 1985 range, Prime came blindpacked, and was available in a variety of colors including white, blue, yellow, green and orange. As the name of the series suggests, he came with a piece of caramel candy.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A second Optimus Prime ''keshigomu'' was included in the second wave of ''Milk Caramel'' figures, sporting some broader proportions and more toy-based design cues like visible wheels, holding its gun in its left hand, rather than its right. This figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations; a baffling variant is known to exist with a ''Decepticon'' symbol on its left shoulder!

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''2'''
:The second ''Milk Caramel'' wave also contained a third Optimus Prime figure, largely identical to the second, except with its gun in its right hand, and holding its left arm aloft. Again, this figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations.
{{-}}

==Transformers Choco==
[[File:Tfchoco optimusprime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
:A small solid-color snap-together model kit of Optimus Prime was released by Kabaya as part of their ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' line, coming packaged with small chocolate candies similar to [[M&M's]] called "Chocolate Dots". The kit can transform from robot to vehicle mode, though this version of Prime doesn't have any hands.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists
:A second ''Choco'' version of Prime was upsized from the first a little, and was given a pair of removable fists, the right one clutching Prime's [[ion blaster]].
{{-}}

==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Tfgum optimusprime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists, ion blaster
:In addition to the small ''Choco'' model kit, Kabaya also released a larger version of Prime under their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line. Essentially a downsized version of the original Prime toy (sans trailer), the kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.

{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2010 g1prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster
:The first wave of 2010's revival of the ''Transformers Gum'' series served up a double dose of Prime, beginning with this new model kit of the original Generation 1 version of the character. Sculpted from white, red, and blue plastic, the kit features a positively ''ungodly'' amount of stickers to make it look presentable and comes with Prime's traditional ion blaster weapon, which stores on the rear of his cab in vehicle mode.

:In terms of transformation, Convoy partially [[partformer|partforms]], as the forearms are needed to be removed and attach it back during conversion.
{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2010 henkei prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Smokestacks/laser cannon
:The second Prime figure in the 2010 ''Gum'' line was this kit of his ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''/''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (franchise)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' body. As with the Generation 1 model, this figure is made from white, red and blue plastic and uses ''lots'' of stickers. It comes with the ''Classics''' figure's transforming smokestack/laser cannon weapon.

:Much like his aforementioned G1 self, his arms also need to be partformed into robot mode.
{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2014_g1starconvoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Star Convoy''' (2014)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, Roller/ treads, car mode Hot Rodimus

:Released as part of the 8th wave of Kabaya's 2009 series of standard model kits, Star Convoy is a snap-together model kit that can transform into a futuristic big rig. Like the full-sized Star Convoy toy, this model kit can assume a battle station mode and also includes a diminutive and non-transformable Hot Rodimus in car mode that can interact with the base mode ramps. Like most other Kabaya model kits, Star Convoy has no paint applications and relies on stickers for added details.

:Owing to the original toy's simple engineering, Star Convoy does not require any disassembly to transform into robot mode, making him one of the few non-partforming Kabaya figures. He does, however, need to have his Microcarrier wheel base detached (which was also an option on the original toy) to fully access a significant improvement over his older self: some newly-added leg articulation! The Microcarrier also doubles as a shield that can be attached to the robot's left arm.

==Hero Set==
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle
:A large ''keshigomu'' of Optimus Prime was produced by TakaraTomy licensee [[Maruka Toys]]. Packaged on a blister card, the static, unposeable Prime figure came with a removable laser rifle, and featured a few small stickers for colour and detail. Maruka also produced a Megatron figure in the same scale, and both Prime and he were available in red, yellow or green.
{{-}}

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy optimus prime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)
*'''Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game''' (board game, 1986)
:Optimus Prime was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Prime was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Prime was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1987)
**''Checklist number:'' '''31'''
:The Prime 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 (31, in Prime's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

==Vinyl figurine==
[[File:Optimus Prime Vinyl Figure set.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Vinyl Prime leads his decoys into battle [[Action Master|before the great storm]].]]
*'''Scramble Gun Set''' (1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''Part.1'''
:Optimus Prime was one of several characters released by [[Seven]] and Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of different novelty sets. Prime came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular "Scramble Gun"), an Autobot badge, and four randomly assigned peach-colored decoy figures. In [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Vinyl figurine|"Part.2"]] of the set Prime is replaced by a vinyl Ultra Magnus.{{-}}

==Gold Convoy Trophy==
[[File:Gold Convoy Trophy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Thou will worship this golden convoy. Or Perish!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (trophy, 1988)
:A gold chrome trophy in the likeness of Optimus Prime was given as an award to an unknown number of distinguished [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] employees and as a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] (alongside the [[Chromedome (G1)|Silver Chromedome Trophy]]) in [[TV Magazine]] in 1988. The two different releases have different plaques but appear to be otherwise identical. If you're an Optimus Prime merchandise completist, good bloody luck finding this one.
{{-}}

==Vehicle Play Tent==
[[File:Vehicleplaytent.jpg|thumb|Both a big truck ''and'' a series of tubes.]]
*'''ERO''' (1984?)
:The Vehicle Play Tent was part of the deluge of Transformers merchandise in the 80s. The tent was constructed by means of a series of plastic tubes that fit into sockets on corner pieces (similar to the "k'nex" building system that arrived a few years later), then a vinyl cover was slipped over this PVC skeleton to make the tent.
{{-}}

==''Generation 2''==
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Dairy Queen promotion, 1994)
[[File:DairyQueen Optimus.jpg|thumb|Rare, in a raw chicken sort of way.]]
:Released in Dairy Queen's 'Kid's Pick-Nic!' meals in 1994, this hunk of red and blue plastic is the first known Optimus Prime kids' meal toy and also probably the worst, sporting no transformation and zero articulation of any sort, with an included sticker sheet for detailing that doesn't particularly resemble any iteration of the character.

:These can be pretty hard to find, owing to their limited distribution compared to the average fast food promotion. Being pretty forgettable as toys probably didn't help either, if we're being honest.
{{-}}

*'''Optimus Prime Inflatable Bop Bag'''
[[File:OptimusPrime_G2_Inflatable_Bop_Bag.jpg|thumb|]]
:Released in 1993 by Kid Dimension, a subsidiary of Hasbro,<ref>[http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/hasbro-inc-history/]</ref> this 3 foot tall Inflatable Bop Bag featured the likeness of Optimus Prime above the Transformers Generation 2 logo. Supposedly to encourage kids to punch out Optimus Prime?
{{-}}

==''Metalforce''==
[[File:MetalforceConvoy.jpg|thumb|I'm expensive! ''(Metallic Version Pictured)'']]
*'''Convoy''' (1999/2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MFC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, alternate hand, unpainted rifle, Matrix, helmet and hand

:''Metalforce'' Convoy is a large vinyl figurine produced by [[Time House]] sculpted to very closely resemble Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original television series, and at the time was the most accurate product depiction of Optimus Prime's cartoon appearance.

:The figure has useful swivel joints at the shoulders and neck, and not-so-useful ones at the wrists and knees. It comes fully painted and pre-assembled, but true to his garage figure origins his Ion blaster must be cut free using a hobby knife, then assembled. His clear blue chest window piece is removable to allow the installation of his [[Matrix of Leadership/toys|Matrix of Leadership]], as is a ''[[The Transformers: The Movie|Movie]]''-style Matrix cover (not pictured). He also comes with an alternate hand that allows him to hold his accessories, as well as unpainted and uncut duplicates of his Matrix, hands, and helmet, which probably meant for those who wanted to duplicate them with resin and/or wish to modify/paint them...you know how garage kit modellers do.

:Metalforce Prime was available in both a matte-paint "anime" version that more precisely echoed the colors of the actual series, and a metallic-paint version (pictured), which is less [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] but more shiny. The plain-colors version was the first release and have an Autobot symbol tampograph on his shoulder as per [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon]], while the later metallic-finish version instead came with a decal sheet.

{{-}}

==''Choro-Q''==
*'''Convoy''' (2000)

:''[[Choro-Q]]'' Convoy is a [[redeco]] of the Domra Truck toy from Takara's ''Choro-Q'' toyline of non-transforming [[super deformed]] vehicles. He was an [[exclusive]] at [[BotCon]] Japan 2000, and features a [[pull-back motor]] and a rear license plate that reads "BotCon Japan 2000".

:Along with ''Choro-Q'' [[Mirage (G1)|Ligier]] and [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], Convoy was given out randomly to convention attendees. Each toy was limited to 1000 pieces.

==Super Collection Figure==
[[File:SCF Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|#IGotPrimeOnIt]]
*'''Convoy''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Optimus Prime was available as part of the first wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFaxe}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase axe.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Convoy with Ax''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:Also available in the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave was a rare "Secret Figure" version of Optimus (斧付きコンボイ, ''ono-tsuki konboi''), decorated in metallic paint and replacing his gun-wielding right hand with his [[energon-axe]].

: It was ''presumably'' released at a ratio of one per every ten cases; while this has not been officially confirmed, later waves gave these odds for Secret Figures.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFtrailer}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Truck.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|We're just as confused as you are, folks.]]
*'''Convoy (Trailer Mode)''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''2'''

:Part of the second ''Super Collection Figure'' act, this is the only ''SCF'' figure of a vehicle mode Transformer. As with the previous non-chase Prime figure, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Unlike every other figure in the line (excluding build-a-figures), this one does ''not'' come with a figure stand, because... well, what would be the point?

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFMegaGun}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase jetpack.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Megatron & Convoy''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''2'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:The second ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, like the first, also had its own Optimus Prime chase figure, this one wielding Megatron in gun mode and wearing [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]'s [[jet pack|rocket pack]], as seen in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".

: This was presumably also released at a ratio of one per every ten cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFdamage}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase damage.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Damaged Convoy''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''3'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:There was no mass-release Optimus Prime figure for the third ''Super Collection Figure'' act, but there was another rare chase figure, this time a battle-damaged version of the original figure from the first act, referencing his injuries from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

: Again, it was ''probably'' released in one out of every ten cases. He replaced the clear version of [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Super Collection Figure|Bumblebee]] in the case.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFcom}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Comm.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|He's actually checking his makeup.]]
*'''Convoy (B)''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:For the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, Prime was rendered weaponless, speaking into the open communication panel on his left arm. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Prime was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Care should be taken when moving the joints of the pewter version, as is not uncommon for the connector pegs to have gotten painted as well, resulting in stuck limbs and tearing joints. Shaving the interior of the socket slightly with a hobby knife is usually sufficient to relieve the issue. (This holds true for all other pewter figures on this list, and in fact the entire dang line from here on.)

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Prime came packaged with the left arm of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] build-a-figure; these parts were either in full color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal ratio of four out of eight cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFSilverMatrix}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase silver.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Convoy''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''5'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:This version of Prime was a chase figure in the fifth ''Super Collection Figure'' act, and depicts the Autobot leader, rendered in metallic silver, opening the Matrix, referencing the end of "[[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2]]". This figure was packed in at a ''confirmed'' ratio of one per every ten cases.

*'''Convoy (C) with Megatron Gun Mode''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''6'''
**''Accessories'': Extra right fist, stand

:The sixth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave featured yet another mass-release version of Optimus. While this Optimus is wielding Megatron (using the same mold as the chase figure from the second Act), he has entirely new-mold arms, plus an interchangeable empty right fist. On top of that he was extensively redecoed: he's actually cast in different shades of light salmon plastic and heavily painted over in an overall darker, less saturated scheme, his normally-white parts now in medium-gray. His pec-windows are painted with a weird shiny dark blue that gives them a translucent look. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version came with the head for the wave's [[Grand Maximus#Super Collection Figure|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure, packed at a ratio of six color parts to two pewter per case.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFStarConvoy}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Star Convoy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Chonktimus Prime.]]
*'''Star Convoy''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''8'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:After taking a break for the seventh wave, Prime returned for the eighth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, which would prove to be the final Generation 1-themed set of figures. This figure of Prime in his Star Convoy body was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

:In eight out of every ten cases, the colored version came with the right arm for the wave's [[Scorponok_(G1)#Super_Collection_Figure|Scorponok]] build-a-figure; this part could be in either full color or pewter, at a 4:4 ratio.

:Available exclusively at the Wonder Festival convention, this set includes two metallic-paint versions of Convoy figures from Act 2: the "Convoy w/ Megatron Gun" chase figure (minus the jetpack), and the truck-mode "figure".

: The set was limited to only 1000 units.

**''Accessories:'' Energon-axe

: Exclusive to the Tokyo Game Show 2002, this special set includes a new version of the original first-Act Optimus Prime figure, along with a new version of the first-Act Megatron. Both are cast in transparent plastic and completely painted over in a grimy, battle-damaged look. Both also come with the interchangeable energon-axe and mace weapons from their first-wave chase figures. Completing the theme of the set is the backdrop of the packaging interior, which depicts [[Sherman Dam]].

: Curiously, Optimus features the larger, rounded-off antennae of the [[Hasbro]] ''Heroes of Cybertron'' version of the mold, which was in production/circulation about the same time.

: As with the above Wonder Festival set, this set was also limited to 1000 units.

==''Heroes of Cybertron''==
[[File:HOC Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey Spike, pull my finger.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002/2006)

: Part of the first wave of Hasbro's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)#Heroes of Cybertron|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series, Optimus is a [[redeco]] of the standard ''Super Collection Figure'' Optimus mold, with a ''slight'' [[retool]]ing to give him longer, thicker, rounded-off helmet antennae [[for safety reasons]]. Like all the standard ''Heroes'' figures, he is cast in transparent plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of his head, giving him a [[light-piping]] gimmick. There are a few other small deco differences to the ''Heroes'' version, such as his helmet crest changing from white to gray.

: Optimus was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Cast in solid-white plastic rather than translucent blue, this makes him ''very'' similar to the original ''SCF'' toy, but he retained the thicker antennae, plus got some very minor paint changes on the head: his crest-vent went back to white, and oddly his eyes are white too, rather than the ''SCF'' version's chest-window light blue.

[[File:HOC Optimus Apex.jpg|upright=1.66|right|thumb|Don't tell anyone, but this crap is HEAVY!]]
*'''Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armor''' (2002)

: An unexpected addition to the line, especially in the first wave next to another Optimus (see above), "Apex Armor" Optimus is a [[redeco]] of [[Ginrai (robot)#Super Collection Figure|God Ginrai]], the double-armored-up form of Optimus's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]]. There are a few small paint differences between God Ginrai and Apex Armor Prime (beyond the obvious "opaque vs clear-plastic base figure" thing, we mean), most notably that the many parts on God Ginrai that are darker unpainted gray plastic, like the thighs and side-panels/guns on the lower legs, have been painted the same light gray as the chest on Optimus.

: This is the first Hasbro-release depiction of Optimus in this mode, later backed up with the release of the full-fledged toy of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] with [[Apex Bomber]] the following year.

[[File:HOC Optimus Axe.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Energon Axe: Only used in [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2|one episode]]. Ever.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002)

:This second-wave ''Heroes of Cybertron'' release is a variation of the chase figure from the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, depicting Prime with his right hand replaced with his energy axe. This figure is a little different from its Japanese progenitor (beyond the "clear-plastic painted over" deal, of course), being painted in normal matte/gloss rather than metallic paint, and replacing the left "pointing" hand with the clenched fist of the later "communicator" version of Optimus. It also retains the ''Heroes'' molding alterations to Optimus's helmet.

: Oddly, he comes with the same collector card as the first version, and the packaging does not call out the energy weapon in any way. The card-back cross-sell even shows only the original Optimus.

{{toydesigner|[[Little IroN]] (concept artist), [["Mad" Alterton]] (sculptor), [[Leandro Sivori]] (painter)}}

:The first entry in the ''Transformers Battlefield'' line by model company [[First 4 Figures]], this 13-inch tall diorama depicts Optimus Prime slugging it out with Megatron. Optimus is posed as though doing a shoulder shove while holding his ion blaster, but a provided "REP" (Replaceable Exterior Part) hand allows buyers to instead recontexualise the pose as a spinning backhand slap. Megatron comes with a REP of a battle damaged version of his head, which features a detachable "helmet" to show off his exposed robo-brain.

:The model was limited to 1,850 pieces worldwide, and came with a numbered certificate of authenticity, which allowed buyers to reserve the same number on their next purchase in the series. It also came with an A4 mini-poster depicting the same fight between Optimus and Megatron by artist [[Little IroN]], which was also sold separately as a limited edition A2 poster.

:As a ''Transformers Battlefield'' release, this model featured a detailed base designed to interlock with others in the same range to create a massive battle diorama. Unfortunately, a general discontinuation of First 4 Figures' ''Transformers''-related output put the kibosh on any further ''Battlefield'' models.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' 2-packs (sold under the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|2007 live-action-movie line]] branding), Optimus Prime is a simple, yet well-detailed two-inch tall figurine with exaggerated, cartoony proportions, with swivel articulation at the neck and shoulders. He is sculpted holding his Ion Blaster rifle in his right fist and his left arm in a pointing pose. He is also love, and demands that you pull his [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3#Notes|Finger of Doom]].

**''Legacy of Revoltech ID number'': '''LR-008'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, two clenched fists, gun-wielding right hand, pointing right hand, open left hand

:A non-transforming but ''highly'' articulated Optimus Prime action figure, ''[[Revoltech]]'' Convoy uses the ''Revoltech'' "revolver joints" for maximum poseability. Prime comes with his now-standard ion blaster and Matrix of Leadership accessories, as well as a few alternate hands; while one of the hands is specifically designed to grip the ion blaster, he can't really do anything dramatic with the Matrix, and it just sort of sits in his open-palmed left hand. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat "serfdom" Lee]]'s interpretation of Prime, but due to physical constraints has no lack of perspective.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was redecoed to create ''Revoltech'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Revoltech|Ultra Magnus]]. Magnus comes with a new hand mold that can be used to connect him and Prime together in a handshake.

:The initial reveal of the figure (sculpted by Yamaguchi) features swiveling cut joints instead of "revolver joints" (notably the hip parts), with a rather jarring angled joint on the waist (which results in a "sliced" appearance if swiveled).

:Unfortunately, ''Revoltech'' Convoy cannot be distributed to the US due to licensing restrictions, so fans must rely on online hobby shops to import him.

:In 2014, ''Revoltech'' Convoy was reissued as part of the ''Legacy of Revoltech'' line, with an increased price of 3900 yen. This rerelease uses revised Revoltech joints, which come in matte black instead of glossy and have more ratcheting points than previous releases.

:''Amazing Yamaguchi'' Convoy is an all-new take to the Revoltech figure above, but more poseable. Apart from the Ion Blaster, this figure comes with an Energon Axe accessory, and an interlocked hand accessory that is designed to resemble the haymaker that took down Megatron in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:Unlike the first Revoltech figure, Convoy features painted-details-on-colored-plastic rather than fully coating them. The plastic is noted to have a hollow feel compared to the first figure.

==''ReAction''==
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Optimus Prime''' (2020, 2024)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Ion Blaster

: Released in [[Super7]]'s line of multi-property 3.75-inch action figures, ''[[Super7#ReAction|ReAction]]'' Optimus Prime was naturally part of the first wave of ''Transformers'' figures. It is a non-converting action figure with 5 points of articulation (simple swivel shoulders, legs, and neck) and an [[Ion blaster]] accessory he can only hold in his right hand.

: It should be noted that despite being a "retro-styled" figure, the hard-plastic points on his helmet are very accurate to the animation model and therefore ''incredibly'' pointy, like, "would not be allowed on a toy for the 5-13 set" pointy.

: As with all releases in the ''ReAction'' toyline, Optimus comes packaged in a small cardback that emulates the nostalgic packaging style of [[Kenner]] ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' action figures of the late 1970s to early '80s.

: In late 2024, this figure was reissued with no obvious changes, now in a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] box assortment.

: This is the first of ''three'' different figures of the same concept to be sold under the name "Fallen Leader Optimus Prime"; the other two (below) are [[Target]] exclusives.

: This figure was initially solicited to retailers as "Dead Optimus Prime" before the slightly gentler name change... but "Dead Optimus Prime" is still what the figure is labeled on the cardback checklist as of wave 6.

{{toydesigner|[[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist)}}

:Released as part of the first wave of the ''[[Transformers R.E.D.]]'' line, Optimus Prime is a non-transforming 6-inch action figure akin to the ones from Hasbro's ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Legends'' and ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]] The Black Series'' lines. He is highly articulated and features extensive paint operations for [[show-accuracy]].

:Optimus comes with six hands altogether: a pair of closed fists, a pair of gently beckoning hands, a right hand for his included [[Ion blaster|Ion Blaster]] accessory, and a right hand with the index finger extended. He also features an [[Energon-axe|Energon Axe]], compatible with either wrist in place of his hand. Lastly, he includes a Matrix of Leadership, which can store in his chest thanks to his opening windows.

:As with all ''R.E.D.'' toys, Optimus Prime was a Walmart exclusive in Canada and the United States, and was later made available on [[Hasbro Pulse]] in limited quantities.

The Matrix of Leadership is printed on the Minimate figure's chest and is visible through the windows on the chest covering. Due to their small size, all 4 figures in each series are sold in the same blister card.

:*''Accessories'': Ion blaster, energon axe, Matrix of Leadership, surfboard, jetpack, basketball, energy restraints, left & right fists, 2 open hands, right gripping hand, left pointing hand, alternate head

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Super7#Transformers ULTIMATES!|Transformers ULTIMATES!]]'' from [[Super7]], Optimus Prime is a 7-inch-tall action figure based on his cartoon model. He features multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips, and ankles; plus swivel biceps, elbows, knees, and a bit of ab crunch. His hands pop out at the wrists so they can be replaced with his additional spare hands in different poses (or the obligatory Energon Axe), and his head can be replaced with an alternate based on the original Optimus toy.

: He also features a ''lot'' of accessories, more than any other toy in the wave, including a number of episode-specific ones: [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe's]] jetpack from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]", a ridable surfboard from "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]", energy restraints from "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]", and his giant basketball from "[[The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders]]". He also includes a miniature [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#ULTIMATES!|Spike Witwicky]] figurine.

: Preorders for Optimus Prime (and the rest of Wave 1) opened on [[January 29]] 2021, and closed on [[February 28]], with the toys purportedly shipping in winter of that year but not actually arriving until May 2022.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Alligaticon''' (2022)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Optimus Prime head; Optimus Prime rifle; Decepticon tower tip w/ arm; [[Battle taxi]]

: Part of the third wave of ''ULTIMATES!'', the [[Alligaticon#Merchandise|Alligaticon]] is a 10-inch-long non-transforming figure made to emulate the the Optimus-parts creature's cartoon model to pretty exacting detail (including the ''lack'' of detail on most of its flat surfaces). It makes ample use of multi-swivel joints to give its limbs a relatively wide range of motion, plus extensive tail jointing, a mid-body bend, some neck waggle, and an opening jaw.

: It comes with multiple "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]"-themed accessories, including a tower with Optimus's arm attached to it. The arm is permanently attached, but the hand uses the same wrist-joint as the individual Optimus figure, and can be popped off and replaced with his other hands if you like (Optimus's wrist-pegs are larger than many other figures', so sadly cross-compatibility is limited at best). Curiously, while the arm appears to be identical to the prior figure's arm, the gun is not, having a trigger guard the original version lacks.

: It also comes with Optimus's disembodied head on a ball-jointed "neck" with trailing wires. Like the arm, the head is the same mold as the original Optimus, but this time cast in clear-blue plastic painted over, with a small gap in the back of the head to attempt [[light-piping]]... but depending on the strength of the light, it might just shine through the paint. Since it's the same mold, one could theoretically swap it out, but trying to push that wire-mass back into the socket seems like it'd be a bit of a pain in the neck (wocka wocka!).

: Preorders for the Alligaticon (and the rest of Wave 3) opened on [[December 1]], 2021, with the toys projected to ship in fall 2022... and ''actually'' shipping in November 202''3''.

Optimus Prime is the latest of several representations of his dead body from "[[The Transformers: The Movie]]," now with a greyscale paint scheme, a heavily damaged left torso section, and cracks all over him (and on his rifle too for good measure).

:The "Optimus Prime" Blade features a picture of Optimus Prime on its central Gear Chip and is largely a retool of the mainline ''Beyblade X'' Blade "Helm Knight", sporting a largely similar metal section with Optimus Prime-themed details and an unaltered plastic underframe. The "4-60" Ratchet and "P" ("Point") Bit of this Beyblade are recolored parts from other ''Beyblade X'' tops.

:While the completed Beyblade is labeled as Balance Type, the "Optimus Prime" Blade is individually labeled on the back of the packaging as Defense Type, due to being a retool of the Defense Type Blade "Helm Knight".

:Optimus Prime 4-60P was only available in a two-pack with [[Megatron_(G1)/merchandise#Beyblade_X|Megatron 4-80B]] as an Amazon exclusive.

:The fully assembled figure resembles the ''Masterpiece'' Convoy 3.0 and features an opening Matrix chamber and fully articulated hands, eliminating the need for alternate hands. Both the ion blaster and Megatron gun can be wielded by his hands, though removing the stalk from the Megatron gun makes this much easier.

He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct.

He also comes with a stand with four studs on top which he can be plugged into and connected to similar stands. Optimus can also accommodate the jetpack included with Sideswipe, released on the "Shining Version" lineup.

:If one chooses, Prime's inner shoulder parts and elbow joints can be swapped with the red-colored pieces from the same lineup to create a more cartoon-accurate coloration.

:The "Action Edition" Optimus Prime is a 7-inch (approx 18cm) model kit with a slightly more complex build and features an inner frame (equivalent to the ones used for ''Bandai'''s "Master/Perfect/Real Grade" kits) with greater articulation points than his other ''Galaxy Version'' toys. In addition to his two signature weapons, the removable Matrix of Leadership, and the jetpack, Optimus also comes with a hologram readout and wrist comm pieces to attach to the left forearm, with each of those parts featuring two different types of stickers. The articulated hands also feature two additional index fingers, a straight pointing piece, and a slightly curved piece for the Ion Blaster's trigger. A magnetic component in his display stand's faction symbol activates the light-up features that illuminate his eyes and the Matrix. An additional sticker sheet and extra yellow-colored eye parts can be used to create a toy-accurate version of this kit.

:If one chooses, the middle-to-pinky fingers ''can'' be (carefully) sliced into individual pieces as they also feature individual ball joints for each finger.

'''Optimus Prime''' is a bit of a shill.
==Stamp Bot==
[[File:OptimusPrime-StampBot-1984.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|Truck stamp is cool!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984)
:Made by [[HG Toys]], Stamp Bot Optimus Prime is a small, non-poseable figurine of Optimus Prime based on his toy with a rubber stamp on the base, and a cap with a felt "floor" that was soaked in ink. The stamp made an image of Optimus Prime's cab mode.

==Knitting Pattern==
[[File:Transformers-knitting-pattern.JPG|thumb|Here to transform your sweater into something that will get your ass kicked.]]
*'''Wendy DK 3015''' (1986)
: Produced by U.K. company [[Wendy DK]] and designed by [[Joy Gammon]], this pamphlet contained patterns for two ''Transformers''-themed sweaters, one featuring Optimus Prime in robot mode, one featuring Optimus Prime in vehicle mode. The patterns were sized as Children's Large, so you're going to have to upscale it quite a bit if you want your <s>girlfriend</s> mom to knit you one.

==Oral Care Station==
*'''Optimus Prime Oral Care Station''' (1984/85?)
:An electric toothbrush in the likeness of Optimus Prime. A battery-operated feature causes the toothbrush (attached at Prime's left wrist) to move back and forth. The set also included a cup for [[water]], an extra brush head, and a stand to hold the various accoutrements.

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Tfcaramel optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Note: Do not eat! ... the candy. The toys taste better.]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A small soft-rubber figurine (known as a ''keshigomu'' in Japan) of Optimus Prime was released as part of [[Kabaya]]'s line of ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]]s. Like all the figures from the 1985 range, Prime came blindpacked, and was available in a variety of colors including white, blue, yellow, green and orange. As the name of the series suggests, he came with a piece of caramel candy.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A second Optimus Prime ''keshigomu'' was included in the second wave of ''Milk Caramel'' figures, sporting some broader proportions and more toy-based design cues like visible wheels, holding its gun in its left hand, rather than its right. This figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations; a baffling variant is known to exist with a ''Decepticon'' symbol on its left shoulder!

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''2'''
:The second ''Milk Caramel'' wave also contained a third Optimus Prime figure, largely identical to the second, except with its gun in its right hand, and holding its left arm aloft. Again, this figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations.
{{-}}

==Transformers Choco==
[[File:Tfchoco optimusprime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
:A small solid-color snap-together model kit of Optimus Prime was released by Kabaya as part of their ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' line, coming packaged with small chocolate candies similar to [[M&M's]] called "Chocolate Dots". The kit can transform from robot to vehicle mode, though this version of Prime doesn't have any hands.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists
:A second ''Choco'' version of Prime was upsized from the first a little, and was given a pair of removable fists, the right one clutching Prime's [[ion blaster]].
{{-}}

==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Tfgum optimusprime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists, ion blaster
:In addition to the small ''Choco'' model kit, Kabaya also released a larger version of Prime under their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line. Essentially a downsized version of the original Prime toy (sans trailer), the kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.

{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2010 g1prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster
:The first wave of 2010's revival of the ''Transformers Gum'' series served up a double dose of Prime, beginning with this new model kit of the original Generation 1 version of the character. Sculpted from white, red, and blue plastic, the kit features a positively ''ungodly'' amount of stickers to make it look presentable and comes with Prime's traditional ion blaster weapon, which stores on the rear of his cab in vehicle mode.

:In terms of transformation, Convoy partially [[partformer|partforms]], as the forearms are needed to be removed and attach it back during conversion.

[[File:Tfgum2010 henkei prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]

:The second Prime figure in the 2010 ''Gum'' line was this kit of his ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''/''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (franchise)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' body. As with the Generation 1 model, this figure is made from white, red and blue plastic and uses ''lots'' of stickers. It comes with the ''Classics''' figure's transforming smokestack/laser cannon weapon.

:Much like his aforementioned G1 self, his arms also need to be partformed into robot mode.

[[File:Tfgum2014_g1starconvoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Star Convoy''' (2014)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, Roller/ treads, car mode Hot Rodimus

:Released as part of the 8th wave of Kabaya's 2009 series of standard model kits, Star Convoy is a snap-together model kit that can transform into a futuristic big rig. Like the full-sized Star Convoy toy, this model kit can assume a battle station mode and also includes a diminutive and non-transformable Hot Rodimus in car mode that can interact with the base mode ramps. Like most other Kabaya model kits, Star Convoy has no paint applications and relies on stickers for added details.

:Owing to the original toy's simple engineering, Star Convoy does not require any disassembly to transform into robot mode, making him one of the few non-partforming Kabaya figures. He does, however, need to have his Microcarrier wheel base detached (which was also an option on the original toy) to fully access a significant improvement over his older self: some newly-added leg articulation! The Microcarrier also doubles as a shield that can be attached to the robot's left arm.

==Hero Set==
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle
:A large ''keshigomu'' of Optimus Prime was produced by TakaraTomy licensee [[Maruka Toys]]. Packaged on a blister card, the static, unposeable Prime figure came with a removable laser rifle, and featured a few small stickers for colour and detail. Maruka also produced a Megatron figure in the same scale, and both Prime and he were available in red, yellow or green.

[[File:Decoy optimus prime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)
*'''Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game''' (board game, 1986)
:Optimus Prime was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Prime was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Prime was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1987)
**''Checklist number:'' '''31'''
:The Prime 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 (31, in Prime's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

:Optimus Prime was one of several characters released by [[Seven]] and Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of different novelty sets. Prime came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular "Scramble Gun"), an Autobot badge, and four randomly assigned peach-colored decoy figures. In [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Vinyl figurine|"Part.2"]] of the set Prime is replaced by a vinyl Ultra Magnus.{{-}}

==Gold Convoy Trophy==
[[File:Gold Convoy Trophy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Thou will worship this golden convoy. Or Perish!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (trophy, 1988)
:A gold chrome trophy in the likeness of Optimus Prime was given as an award to an unknown number of distinguished [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] employees and as a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] (alongside the [[Chromedome (G1)|Silver Chromedome Trophy]]) in [[TV Magazine]] in 1988. The two different releases have different plaques but appear to be otherwise identical. If you're an Optimus Prime merchandise completist, good bloody luck finding this one.
{{-}}

==Vehicle Play Tent==
[[File:Vehicleplaytent.jpg|thumb|Both a big truck ''and'' a series of tubes.]]
*'''ERO''' (1984?)
:The Vehicle Play Tent was part of the deluge of Transformers merchandise in the 80s. The tent was constructed by means of a series of plastic tubes that fit into sockets on corner pieces (similar to the "k'nex" building system that arrived a few years later), then a vinyl cover was slipped over this PVC skeleton to make the tent.
{{-}}

==''Generation 2''==
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Dairy Queen promotion, 1994)
[[File:DairyQueen Optimus.jpg|thumb|Rare, in a raw chicken sort of way.]]
:Released in Dairy Queen's 'Kid's Pick-Nic!' meals in 1994, this hunk of red and blue plastic is the first known Optimus Prime kids' meal toy and also probably the worst, sporting no transformation and zero articulation of any sort, with an included sticker sheet for detailing that doesn't particularly resemble any iteration of the character.

:These can be pretty hard to find, owing to their limited distribution compared to the average fast food promotion. Being pretty forgettable as toys probably didn't help either, if we're being honest.

*'''Optimus Prime Inflatable Bop Bag'''
[[File:OptimusPrime_G2_Inflatable_Bop_Bag.jpg|thumb|]]
:Released in 1993 by Kid Dimension, a subsidiary of Hasbro,<ref>[http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/hasbro-inc-history/]</ref> this 3 foot tall Inflatable Bop Bag featured the likeness of Optimus Prime above the Transformers Generation 2 logo. Supposedly to encourage kids to punch out Optimus Prime?

==''Metalforce''==
[[File:MetalforceConvoy.jpg|thumb|I'm expensive! ''(Metallic Version Pictured)'']]
*'''Convoy''' (1999/2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MFC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, alternate hand, unpainted rifle, Matrix, helmet and hand

:''Metalforce'' Convoy is a large vinyl figurine produced by [[Time House]] sculpted to very closely resemble Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original television series, and at the time was the most accurate product depiction of Optimus Prime's cartoon appearance.

:The figure has useful swivel joints at the shoulders and neck, and not-so-useful ones at the wrists and knees. It comes fully painted and pre-assembled, but true to his garage figure origins his Ion blaster must be cut free using a hobby knife, then assembled. His clear blue chest window piece is removable to allow the installation of his [[Matrix of Leadership/toys|Matrix of Leadership]], as is a ''[[The Transformers: The Movie|Movie]]''-style Matrix cover (not pictured). He also comes with an alternate hand that allows him to hold his accessories, as well as unpainted and uncut duplicates of his Matrix, hands, and helmet, which probably meant for those who wanted to duplicate them with resin and/or wish to modify/paint them...you know how garage kit modellers do.

:Metalforce Prime was available in both a matte-paint "anime" version that more precisely echoed the colors of the actual series, and a metallic-paint version (pictured), which is less [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] but more shiny. The plain-colors version was the first release and have an Autobot symbol tampograph on his shoulder as per [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon]], while the later metallic-finish version instead came with a decal sheet.

==''Choro-Q''==
*'''Convoy''' (2000)

:''[[Choro-Q]]'' Convoy is a [[redeco]] of the Domra Truck toy from Takara's ''Choro-Q'' toyline of non-transforming [[super deformed]] vehicles. He was an [[exclusive]] at [[BotCon]] Japan 2000, and features a [[pull-back motor]] and a rear license plate that reads "BotCon Japan 2000".

:Along with ''Choro-Q'' [[Mirage (G1)|Ligier]] and [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], Convoy was given out randomly to convention attendees. Each toy was limited to 1000 pieces.

Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: It was ''presumably'' released at a ratio of one per every ten cases; while this has not been officially confirmed, later waves gave these odds for Secret Figures.

:Part of the second ''Super Collection Figure'' act, this is the only ''SCF'' figure of a vehicle mode Transformer. As with the previous non-chase Prime figure, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Unlike every other figure in the line (excluding build-a-figures), this one does ''not'' come with a figure stand, because... well, what would be the point?

**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:For the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, Prime was rendered weaponless, speaking into the open communication panel on his left arm. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Prime was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Care should be taken when moving the joints of the pewter version, as is not uncommon for the connector pegs to have gotten painted as well, resulting in stuck limbs and tearing joints. Shaving the interior of the socket slightly with a hobby knife is usually sufficient to relieve the issue. (This holds true for all other pewter figures on this list, and in fact the entire dang line from here on.)

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Prime came packaged with the left arm of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] build-a-figure; these parts were either in full color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal ratio of four out of eight cases.

:The sixth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave featured yet another mass-release version of Optimus. While this Optimus is wielding Megatron (using the same mold as the chase figure from the second Act), he has entirely new-mold arms, plus an interchangeable empty right fist. On top of that he was extensively redecoed: he's actually cast in different shades of light salmon plastic and heavily painted over in an overall darker, less saturated scheme, his normally-white parts now in medium-gray. His pec-windows are painted with a weird shiny dark blue that gives them a translucent look. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version came with the head for the wave's [[Grand Maximus#Super Collection Figure|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure, packed at a ratio of six color parts to two pewter per case.

:In eight out of every ten cases, the colored version came with the right arm for the wave's [[Scorponok_(G1)#Super_Collection_Figure|Scorponok]] build-a-figure; this part could be in either full color or pewter, at a 4:4 ratio.

: Exclusive to the Tokyo Game Show 2002, this special set includes a new version of the original first-Act Optimus Prime figure, along with a new version of the first-Act Megatron. Both are cast in transparent plastic and completely painted over in a grimy, battle-damaged look. Both also come with the interchangeable energon-axe and mace weapons from their first-wave chase figures. Completing the theme of the set is the backdrop of the packaging interior, which depicts [[Sherman Dam]].

: Curiously, Optimus features the larger, rounded-off antennae of the [[Hasbro]] ''Heroes of Cybertron'' version of the mold, which was in production/circulation about the same time.

==''Heroes of Cybertron''==
[[File:HOC Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey Spike, pull my finger.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002/2006)

: Part of the first wave of Hasbro's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)#Heroes of Cybertron|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series, Optimus is a [[redeco]] of the standard ''Super Collection Figure'' Optimus mold, with a ''slight'' [[retool]]ing to give him longer, thicker, rounded-off helmet antennae [[for safety reasons]]. Like all the standard ''Heroes'' figures, he is cast in transparent plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of his head, giving him a [[light-piping]] gimmick. There are a few other small deco differences to the ''Heroes'' version, such as his helmet crest changing from white to gray.

: Optimus was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Cast in solid-white plastic rather than translucent blue, this makes him ''very'' similar to the original ''SCF'' toy, but he retained the thicker antennae, plus got some very minor paint changes on the head: his crest-vent went back to white, and oddly his eyes are white too, rather than the ''SCF'' version's chest-window light blue.

*'''Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armor''' (2002)

: An unexpected addition to the line, especially in the first wave next to another Optimus (see above), "Apex Armor" Optimus is a [[redeco]] of [[Ginrai (robot)#Super Collection Figure|God Ginrai]], the double-armored-up form of Optimus's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]]. There are a few small paint differences between God Ginrai and Apex Armor Prime (beyond the obvious "opaque vs clear-plastic base figure" thing, we mean), most notably that the many parts on God Ginrai that are darker unpainted gray plastic, like the thighs and side-panels/guns on the lower legs, have been painted the same light gray as the chest on Optimus.

: This is the first Hasbro-release depiction of Optimus in this mode, later backed up with the release of the full-fledged toy of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] with [[Apex Bomber]] the following year.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002)

:This second-wave ''Heroes of Cybertron'' release is a variation of the chase figure from the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, depicting Prime with his right hand replaced with his energy axe. This figure is a little different from its Japanese progenitor (beyond the "clear-plastic painted over" deal, of course), being painted in normal matte/gloss rather than metallic paint, and replacing the left "pointing" hand with the clenched fist of the later "communicator" version of Optimus. It also retains the ''Heroes'' molding alterations to Optimus's helmet.

: Oddly, he comes with the same collector card as the first version, and the packaging does not call out the energy weapon in any way. The card-back cross-sell even shows only the original Optimus. (The same happened to this wave's energy-weapon-wielding [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Megatron]].)

{{toydesigner|[[Little IroN]] (concept artist), [["Mad" Alterton]] (sculptor), [[Leandro Sivori]] (painter)}}

:The first entry in the ''Transformers Battlefield'' line by model company [[First 4 Figures]], this 13-inch tall diorama depicts Optimus Prime slugging it out with Megatron. Optimus is posed as though doing a shoulder shove while holding his ion blaster, but a provided "REP" (Replaceable Exterior Part) hand allows buyers to instead recontexualise the pose as a spinning backhand slap. Megatron comes with a REP of a battle damaged version of his head, which features a detachable "helmet" to show off his exposed robo-brain.

:The model was limited to 1,850 pieces worldwide, and came with a numbered certificate of authenticity, which allowed buyers to reserve the same number on their next purchase in the series. It also came with an A4 mini-poster depicting the same fight between Optimus and Megatron by artist [[Little IroN]], which was also sold separately as a limited edition A2 poster.

:As a ''Transformers Battlefield'' release, this model featured a detailed base designed to interlock with others in the same range to create a massive battle diorama. Unfortunately, a general discontinuation of First 4 Figures' ''Transformers''-related output put the kibosh on any further ''Battlefield'' models.

**''Legacy of Revoltech ID number'': '''LR-008'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, two clenched fists, gun-wielding right hand, pointing right hand, open left hand

:A non-transforming but ''highly'' articulated Optimus Prime action figure, ''[[Revoltech]]'' Convoy uses the ''Revoltech'' "revolver joints" for maximum poseability. Prime comes with his now-standard ion blaster and Matrix of Leadership accessories, as well as a few alternate hands; while one of the hands is specifically designed to grip the ion blaster, he can't really do anything dramatic with the Matrix, and it just sort of sits in his open-palmed left hand. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat "serfdom" Lee]]'s interpretation of Prime, but due to physical constraints has no lack of perspective.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was redecoed to create ''Revoltech'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Revoltech|Ultra Magnus]]. Magnus comes with a new hand mold that can be used to connect him and Prime together in a handshake.

:The initial reveal of the figure (sculpted by Yamaguchi) features swiveling cut joints instead of "revolver joints" (notably the hip parts), with a rather jarring angled joint on the waist (which results in a "sliced" appearance if swiveled).

:Unfortunately, ''Revoltech'' Convoy cannot be distributed to the US due to licensing restrictions, so fans must rely on online hobby shops to import him.

:In 2014, ''Revoltech'' Convoy was reissued as part of the ''Legacy of Revoltech'' line, with an increased price of 3900 yen. This rerelease uses revised Revoltech joints, which come in matte black instead of glossy and have more ratcheting points than previous releases.

Apart from the Ion Blaster, this figure comes with an Energon Axe accessory, and an interlocked hand accessory that is designed to resemble the haymaker that took down Megatron in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:Unlike the first Revoltech figure, Convoy features painted-details-on-colored-plastic rather than fully coating them. The plastic is noted to have a hollow feel compared to the first figure.

:[[Threezero]]'s second figure for the MDLX line, this version of Optimus Prime is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Optimus Prime is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like Figma and S.H. Figuarts. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and accessories, namely his ion blaster, energon axe and Matrix of Leadership. He comes with a suite of hands in pairs: closed fists, splayed-out relaxed hands, and three different pairs meant to specifically hold each one of the aforementioned accessories. His chest is magnetically attached and as such can store the Matrix when not in use. Optimus also comes with his backpack piece disassembled in package.

:He was redecoed into [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Threezero|Nemesis Prime]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Threezero|Ultra Magnus]], as well as his [[Optimus Prime (SG)#MDLX|''Shattered Glass'' self]].

:*''Accessories'': Ion Blaster

: Released in [[Super7]]'s line of multi-property 3.75-inch action figures, ''[[Super7#ReAction|ReAction]]'' Optimus Prime was naturally part of the first wave of ''Transformers'' figures. It is a non-converting action figure with 5 points of articulation (simple swivel shoulders, legs, and neck) and an [[Ion blaster]] accessory he can only hold in his right hand.

: It should be noted that despite being a "retro-styled" figure, the hard-plastic points on his helmet are very accurate to the animation model and therefore ''incredibly'' pointy, like, "would not be allowed on a toy for the 5-13 set" pointy.

: As with all releases in the ''ReAction'' toyline, Optimus comes packaged in a small cardback that emulates the nostalgic packaging style of [[Kenner]] ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' action figures of the late 1970s to early '80s.

He is highly articulated and features extensive paint operations for [[show-accuracy]].

:Optimus comes with six hands altogether: a pair of closed fists, a pair of gently beckoning hands, a right hand for his included [[Ion blaster|Ion Blaster]] accessory, and a right hand with the index finger extended. He also features an [[Energon-axe|Energon Axe]], compatible with either wrist in place of his hand. Lastly, he includes a Matrix of Leadership, which can store in his chest thanks to his opening windows.

The Matrix of Leadership is printed on the Minimate figure's chest and is visible through the windows on the chest covering.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Super7#Transformers ULTIMATES!|Transformers ULTIMATES!]]'' from [[Super7]], Optimus Prime is a 7-inch-tall action figure based on his cartoon model. He features multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips, and ankles; plus swivel biceps, elbows, knees, and a bit of ab crunch. His hands pop out at the wrists so they can be replaced with his additional spare hands in different poses (or the obligatory Energon Axe), and his head can be replaced with an alternate based on the original Optimus toy.

: He also features a ''lot'' of accessories, more than any other toy in the wave, including a number of episode-specific ones: [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe's]] jetpack from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]", a ridable surfboard from "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]", energy restraints from "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]", and his giant basketball from "[[The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders]]". He also includes a miniature [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#ULTIMATES!|Spike Witwicky]] figurine.

: Preorders for Optimus Prime (and the rest of Wave 1) opened on [[January 29]] 2021, and closed on [[February 28]], with the toys purportedly shipping in winter of that year but not actually arriving until May 2022.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Alligaticon''' (2022)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Optimus Prime head; Optimus Prime rifle; Decepticon tower tip w/ arm; [[Battle taxi]]

: Part of the third wave of ''ULTIMATES!'', the [[Alligaticon#Merchandise|Alligaticon]] is a 10-inch-long non-transforming figure made to emulate the the Optimus-parts creature's cartoon model to pretty exacting detail (including the ''lack'' of detail on most of its flat surfaces). It makes ample use of multi-swivel joints to give its limbs a relatively wide range of motion, plus extensive tail jointing, a mid-body bend, some neck waggle, and an opening jaw.

: It comes with multiple "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]"-themed accessories, including a tower with Optimus's arm attached to it. The arm is permanently attached, but the hand uses the same wrist-joint as the individual Optimus figure, and can be popped off and replaced with his other hands if you like (Optimus's wrist-pegs are larger than many other figures', so sadly cross-compatibility is limited at best). Curiously, while the arm appears to be identical to the prior figure's arm, the gun is not, having a trigger guard the original version lacks.

: It also comes with Optimus's disembodied head on a ball-jointed "neck" with trailing wires. Like the arm, the head is the same mold as the original Optimus, but this time cast in clear-blue plastic painted over, with a small gap in the back of the head to attempt [[light-piping]]... but depending on the strength of the light, it might just shine through the paint. Since it's the same mold, one could theoretically swap it out, but trying to push that wire-mass back into the socket seems like it'd be a bit of a pain in the neck (wocka wocka!).

: Preorders for the Alligaticon (and the rest of Wave 3) opened on [[December 1]], 2021, with the toys projected to ship in fall 2022... and ''actually'' shipping in November 202''3''.

:Another "retro-styled" non-transforming figure by [[Super7]], ''Super Shogun'' Optimus Prime is meant to be an homage to the 1970s "{{w|Shogun Warriors (toys)|Shogun Warriors}}" toyline. To match the famous features of those older toys, this Optimus stands 24" tall and is mostly made of hollow plastic, with 3 points of articulation, wheels on his feet, and a spring-loaded firing left fist. His chest doors open to reveal a removable Matrix of Leadership. Suggested retail price was $350 - hopefully if you're old enough to remember "Shogun Warriors" you've gotten a good job by now.

:*''Accessories:'' Spare balljoint piece, figure stand, 2 open hands, ion blaster, Energon Axe, holdable Autobot and Decepticon insignias

:Released in the first wave of ''Galaxy Version'' line of blind boxes, [[Blokees]] Optimus Prime is a roughly 4-inches tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Autobot leader. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Prime has a pull rate of 1 in every 12 boxes, or three times across four cases.

:Prime comes with a pair of closed and open hands, along with a left hand molded in a pointing position exclusive to this figure. He also comes with his trademark Ion Blaster and Energon axe weapons—the former can be plugged into the closed hands, and the latter can be plugged into either wrist. The barrel of the Ion Blaster is compatible with the blast effects included with Ironhide, Megatron, and Skywarp. He also comes with a stand with four studs on top which he can be plugged into and connected to similar stands. Optimus can also accommodate the jetpack included with Sideswipe, released on the "Shining Version" lineup.

:If one chooses, Prime's inner shoulder parts and elbow joints can be swapped with the red-colored pieces from the same lineup to create a more cartoon-accurate coloration.

:His body parts are redecoed to make ''Galaxy Version'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#Blokees|Shattered Glass Optimus Prime (IDW)]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Blokees|Ultra Magnus (DW)]], and [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Blokees|Nemesis Prime]].

Liliesrobots: /* Shining Version */

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
{{picsneeded|Classic Class, Action Edition, Defender}}

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its own box.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their base's faction symbol activates their light features, vigorous shaking not required.

===Defender Version===
Launched in late 2024, ''Defender Version'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand at roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining a lot of the articulation. In addition, ''Defender'' introduces buildable alt modes as well, with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants. They have also teased a ''DV'' Devastator, constructed from the vehicular Constructicons released each wave.

Liliesrobots: /* Shining Version */ Have not seen the official translation of the wave name, will update if i do. Only sources I've seen are all Chinese.

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
{{picsneeded|Classic Class, Action Edition, Galaxy Defender}}

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its own box.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their base's faction symbol activates their light features, vigorous shaking not required.

===Galaxy Version Defender===
Launched in late 2024, ''Galaxy Version Defender'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand at roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining a lot of the articulation. In addition, ''Defender'' introduces buildable alt modes as well, with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants. They have also teased a "Galaxy Version Defender" Devastator, constructed from the vehicular Constructicons released each wave.

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
{{picsneeded|Classic Class, Action Edition, Galaxy Defender}}

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its own box.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

===Galaxy Version Defender===
Launched in late 2024, ''Galaxy Version Defender'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand at roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining a lot of the articulation. In addition, ''Defender'' introduces buildable alt modes as well, with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants. They have also teased a "Galaxy Version Defender" Devastator, constructed from the vehicular Constructicons released each wave.

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
{{picsneeded|Classic Class, Action Edition, Galaxy Defender}}

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its own box.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

Liliesrobots: /* X Yearly Version */

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
{{picsneeded|Classic Class, Action Edition, Galaxy Defender}}

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its own box.

===Galaxy Version===
''Galaxy Version'' is a series of buildable 4" figures released in nine-figure blind box waves. Focusing primarily on Generation 1 (with [[Shattered Glass (disambiguation)|the]] [[2005 IDW continuity|occasional]] [[Transformers One (franchise)|detour]]), these snap-build kits are built on a standard body template, with 22 points of articulation. A select figure in each wave also has a [[Chase figure|chase variant]], featuring extra accessories and a metallic paintjob.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their base's faction symbol activates their light features, vigorous shaking not required.

===Galaxy Version Defender===
Launched in late 2024, ''Galaxy Version Defender'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand at roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining a lot of the articulation. In addition, ''Defender'' introduces buildable alt modes as well, with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants. They have also teased a "Galaxy Version Defender" Devastator, constructed from the vehicular Constructicons released each wave.

Liliesrobots: /* Galaxy Version */

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
{{picsneeded|Classic Class, Action Edition, Galaxy Defender}}

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its own box.

===Galaxy Version===

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their base's faction symbol activates their light features, vigorous shaking not required.

===Galaxy Version Defender===
Launched in late 2024, ''Galaxy Version Defender'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand at roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining a lot of the articulation. In addition, ''Defender'' introduces buildable alt modes as well, with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants. They have also teased a "Galaxy Version Defender" Devastator, constructed from the vehicular Constructicons released each wave.

Liliesrobots: /* Galaxy Version Defender */

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
{{picsneeded|Classic Class, Action Edition, Galaxy Defender}}

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its own box.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their base's faction symbol activates their light features, vigorous shaking not required.

===Galaxy Version Defender===
Launched in late 2024, ''Galaxy Version Defender'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand at roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining a lot of the articulation. In addition, ''Defender'' introduces buildable alt modes as well, with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants. They have also teased a "Galaxy Version Defender" Devastator, constructed from the vehicular Constructicons released each wave.

Liliesrobots: /* Galaxy Version Defender */

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its own box.

===Galaxy Version===

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their base's faction symbol activates their light features, vigorous shaking not required.

===Galaxy Version Defender===
Launched in late 2024, ''Galaxy Version Defender'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand at roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining a lot of the articulation. In addition, ''Defender'' introduces buildable alt modes as well, with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants.

Ginrai (human)

{{disambig3|Ginrai}}
{{suite|root=Ginrai}}
:''Ginrai is a [[human]] and [[Autobot]] [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmaster]] from the [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Ginrai comb1.gif|upright=1.8|thumb|"Hair ''this'' perfect doesn't just ''happen!''"]]
Being a soldier is not the life for '''Ginrai''' (ジンライ ''Jinrai''). Command structures, fixed routines, forced formality, following orders, knowing your place and toeing the line are his complete antithesis. A [[Nagano Prefecture|Nagano]] native, Ginrai found the atmosphere of his home country unbearably stifling, and left for the [[United States of America|United States]] at the young age of seventeen to "find himself". The very definition of a free spirit and a lone wolf, he took a job as a long-haul truck driver for [[Union Transportation]] which offered him the freedom and solitude of the open road. Despite his desire for isolation and self-exploration, however, he is hugely popular amongst his "brothers" in the trucker fraternity, as his easygoing personality allows him to get along with people like a house on fire.

Ginrai's life was turned upside down when he discovered that he was an [[Autobot]] [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmaster]] and became bonded to a [[transtector]] from the [[G Nebula 89|G Nebula]]. Now wearing the visage of the legendary Autobot commander [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], Ginrai has found his entire worldview changed by the evil of the [[Decepticon]]s, a force he painfully realizes is too great for him to overlook. It would not, Ginrai figures, be a good thing for the Decepticons to rule the world. After all, he lives there.

Ginrai's signature attack technique is the questionably-named "Atomic Fire Guts", which sees him condense his [[Chōkon Power]] into his gun and release it as a blast of roiling flame. Ginrai can combine with his own trailer to become '''Super Ginrai''', upgrading his attack into the more-powerful "Special Fire Guts", and then again with the drone [[Godbomber]] to become '''God Ginrai'''. As God Ginrai, his Fire Guts attack is powered up once more, becoming the ultimate single-strike final attack known as the "God Fire Guts", which transforms Ginrai's entire body into a blazing fireball.

[[File:Ginraiarmor.jpg|left|thumb|It rides up the crotch.]]

The events that would bring Ginrai into contact with the Transformers began an indeterminate number of years ago, when the super-energy alien being and self-styled "Decepticon god" [[Devil Z]] stole several [[transtector]]s, including one intended to be used by the legendary Autobot leader [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], from an area of space known as [[G Nebula 89]]. Devil Z scattered the Transtectors across Earth, where they lay in hiding for years, absorbing the planet's [[Chōkon Power]], to await the day Devil Z would have them bond to human beings, thereby creating a new super-robotic lifeform: [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmasters]]. {{storylink|Shūta and Grand's Masterforce Super-Secrets!}}

Through undivulged circumstances, the transtector intended for Prime assumed the form of a red tractor trailer cab and came to rest in a small [[Esso]] garage in [[California]]. The unwitting [[rent-a-car seller]] rented the cab to several truckers, but always found it returned early with complaints of unusual, even supernatural, incidents.

Ginrai was born in [[Nagano Prefecture|Nagano]], Japan, circa [[2001]].<ref>This is extrapolated from ''[[Generations Selects Special Comic]]'' stating ''Super-God Masterforce'' is set in [[2020]].</ref> {{storylink|Friend or Foe!? The True Form of the Monster!!}} But Ginrai always felt out of place at his home so he traveled to America at age 17 and became a truck driver to find himself. {{storylink|A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai}}

[[File:Ginrai 1stapp.jpg|thumb|You think my front looks great, wait until you see my back!]]

Two years after coming to America, Ginrai happened to be transporting an ill [[dolphin]] from [[Baney Aquarium]] to the [[Ocean Research Institute of California]], which was run, unbeknownst to him, by the Autobot [[Pretender]] [[Diver (G1)|Diver]]. Destiny stepped in when Ginrai's truck broke down on the way, and he pulled in at this very garage, where the owner rented him the transtector to complete his delivery. In the glove box of the cab, he discovered a pair of [[Master-Brace]]s and slipped them on his wrists, only to discover that he was unable to remove them. When Diver laid eyes upon the bracelets, he recognized the basic design of them and insisted that Ginrai take him back to the garage where he had found the truck. On the way, however, they were sent off-road when the truck began to experience an energy surge before being subsequently attacked by the Decepticon Godmaster brothers [[Hydra (G1)|Hydra]] and [[Buster (G1)|Buster]]. Accidentally touching the bracelets as he attempted to escape the crushed cab, Ginrai was infused with the Masterforce, and a suit of armor materialized around him, healing both himself and the transtector as they combined and transformed. Now a Godmaster himself, Ginrai saw the shocked Decepticons off. {{storylink|A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai}}

Ginrai was at first unsure of what to make of his new powers and was not entirely keen on joining the Autobots, as the notion of operating as part of a command structure and being tied down to a specific place ran directly counter to his desire for freedom in his life. Although he promised to aid them when necessary "for the sake of the world"—a mantra for which he admitted he had a weakness—he soon bore witness to the true evil of the Decepticons when Hydra and Buster killed several of his fellow truckers while searching for him. In spite of this, Ginrai was still not entirely willing to join the Autobots, but fate would continue to pushing him into doing so. {{storylink|Ginrai: God On of Rage!!}}

[[File:Superginrai 1stapp.jpg|left|thumb|Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Super Ginrai!]]

Ginrai soon suffered a prophetic dream, after which he discovered three more pairs of Master-Braces in his transtector, indicating the presence of more Godmasters on Earth. When Ginrai brought the bracelets to Japan for study at [[Autobot Base]], {{storylink|A Strange Friendship: Cancer and Minerva}} events began to escalate as his transtector activated on its own, transporting Ginrai to his birthplace of Nagano, or more specifically, a construction site at the base of Mount Yatsugatake there. Blasting for a tunnel through the mountain had been blocked by a mysterious object, which proved to be a trailer for Ginrai's truck, which burst from the tunnel during another battle with Buster and Hydra. {{storylink|Friend or Foe!? The True Form of the Monster!!}} Later still, the two brothers lured Ginrai into a public battle so that they might blame the conflict on him and turn public opinion against the Autobots. The plan failed, but a friend of Ginrai's offered the suggestion that his becoming a Godmaster was the will of God Himself. {{storylink|Eliminate the Godmaster Ginrai}}

Not long thereafter, in a battle with [[King Poseidon]], Ginrai discovered that his cab and trailer were capable of performing a "Double On", merging to create the super-robot "Super Ginrai". {{storylink|Heroism!! The Birth of Super Ginrai}} Additionally, after appearing on television in hopes of locating the remaining three Godmasters, to whom he would give the Master-Braces, Ginrai successfully located [[Lightfoot (G1)|Lightfoot]], {{storylink|Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter}} [[Ranger]] {{storylink|An Enemy? The Third Godmaster, Ranger}} and [[Road King]] and recruited them to the Autobot side. {{storylink|Assemble! The Four Godmaster Gunmen}} During this time, Ginrai was also challenged to a duel by the wandering [[Six Changer]], [[Sixknight]], who had been manipulated into doing so by the Decepticons. Sixknight lost the fight and was shocked to discover that he had been bested by a human being, {{storylink|A Powerful Foe!! Sixknight the Wanderer}} but was affected so deeply by Ginrai's explanation for how this could be so that he wound up siding with the Autobots. After this string of successes the Autobot leader [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]] stepped down as commander and requested that Ginrai take his place. After some deliberation and much hassling from the other Autobot Pretenders, who wouldn't let him say no, Ginrai accepted. {{storylink|The Autobot Warrior, Sixknight?!}}

[[File:Ginrai defeated.jpg|thumb|"Though badly wounded, I must go home for the show!"]]
When [[Grand Maximus]] arrived on Earth to inform Ginrai's Autobots of the impending arrival of the Decepticon super-weapon, [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]], he provided them with the schematics necessary to create the drone [[Godbomber]]. {{storylink|Life? Death? The Desperate Lightfoot}} Metalhawk and the Pretenders raced to finish the construction of Godbomber, but as the so-called "Bomber Project" neared completion, Ginrai was lured into the desert by a disguised Buster and Hydra (under the auspices of performing some stunt driving for a movie) and was attacked and beaten within an inch of his life by the Decepticon Ambassador of Destruction, [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]]. {{storylink|Super Ginrai Gets Blown Away in the Desert!?}} Following a failed attack on the Bomber Project facility, {{storylink|Will the Bomber Project Be Destroyed!?}} the barely healed Ginrai insisted upon taking the fight to the Decepticons, combining with the completed Godbomber to form "God Ginrai". {{storylink|God Ginrai - Into the Sky!!}} In his new form, Ginrai confronted Overlord and BlackZarak on the moon, where he fully embraced his role as protector of Earth and defeated the Decepticons with the aid of Grand Maximus. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Showdown on the Surface of the Moon}}

[[File:Godginrai onmoon.jpg|left|thumb|Ginrai, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes!]]
Upon returning to Earth, Ginrai was lured into a trap in the Middle East by Overlord, during which Godbomber revealed a hidden power by transforming into a [[robot mode]]. {{storylink|Overlord - Terror of the Chōkon Tornado}} Godbomber's robot mode also helped save the day when Ginrai and Lightfoot were entombed in a cave while attempting to stop the eruption of an underwater volcano, {{storylink|Escape!! The Underwater Volcano Erupts}} leading the Decepticons to target him for destruction. Luring Ginrai to the heartland of America, the villains ambushed and badly wounded the Autobot leader, leaving him unable to use his Chōkon Power to animate Godbomber. Luckily, the day was saved when the Headmaster Juniors discovered they were able to take control of Godbomber together. {{storylink|Destroy Godbomber!!}}

When it seemed as though the Autobots had finally been joined by the final Godmaster, a young man named [[Clouder]], Ginrai welcomed him into their ranks with open arms. Metalhawk, however, proved to be less trusting, and soon exposed Clouder as a Decepticon spy. Unfortunately, this was not enough to stop the plan the Decepticons had put in motion; while Ginrai and the Godmasters were occupied battling Buster and Hydra in a nearby city, the Autobot base was crippled by Clouder's sabotage and attacked by the rest of the Decepticons en masse. {{storylink|Secret Orders! Destroy the Autobot Base!!}} Ginrai was unable to prevent the destruction of the base, but was approached by Clouder in the aftermath. Clouder had been left to die in the base by the other Decepticons, and now wanted to work with the Autobots, which Ginrai permitted. {{storylink|Disaster! The Autobot Base Explodes}}

[[File:Godginrai vs blackzarak.jpg|thumb|She can't take anymore, Cap'n!]]
After failing to contact Grand Maximus, Ginrai headed out into space to search for him and found him trapped inside a powerful [[black hole]]. Ginrai too fell victim to the singularity's pull, but he and Grand Maximus were able to combine their energies to destroy it from within and escape. The black hole had, in fact, been created by BlackZarak, who had been able to travel to Earth and join the Decepticons there during Ginrai's imprisonment. {{storylink|BlackZarak - Destroyer from Space}} With BlackZarak now bolstering their forces, the Decepticons' campaign grew ever more aggressive, with Ginrai only just managed to save the planet from the villains' unholy [[Death Para-Machine]]. {{storylink|Crisis! The Day of Human Extinction}}

[[File:Godfireguts.jpg|left|thumb|Itching, burning sensation?]]
When [[Shūta Gō|Shūta]] was captured by the Decepticons, Ginrai was forced to come to the villains' base alone and unarmed in exchange for his safety. Things looked bad for the heroes until the self-doubting Decepticon [[Cancer (G1)|Cancer]] finally switched sides and saved the day. {{storylink|God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base}} With Cancer's aid, Ginrai was able to lead the Autobots in an all-out attack on the Decepticon base, during which Devil Z fused with BlackZarak, creating an even more powerful composite foe. {{storylink|The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}}

[[File:Ginrai juniors.jpg|thumb|Go go, Transformo Rangers!]]
After conclusive final battles with Hydra and Buster {{storylink|Battle to the Death!! God Ginrai VS Darkwings Reborn}} and Overlord, {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}} Ginrai confronted the fused Devil Z/BlackZarak entity atop the Matterhorn. Ginrai saved Overlord from danger after Devil Z turned on him. He was about to destroy both Ginrai and Overlord but Sixknight came to his rescue. He told Ginrai to assemble the Autobots while he battled BlackZarak. After much urging to stay with him Ginrai went to get the other Godmasters. However this would be the last time he would speak to Sixknight as Devil Z unleashed a big bolt of Devil Power on the Autobot Six Changer and destroyed him. Angered by this Ginrai decided to fit BlackZarak alone. {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} As their battle raged down the mountain, Ginrai succeeded in decapitating the villain, but BlackZarak simply assumed a new, serpentine [[alternate mode]] and kept on fighting. The Headmaster Juniors boarded Ginrai's chest cockpit and joined their energies with him, allowing him to destroy BlackZarak's body with his God Fire Guts attack, exposing Devil Z. As the alien raged impotently, Ginrai and the Juniors united every last drop of their Chōkon Power into the almighty Final Fire Guts attack, which destroyed Devil Z once and for all.

With Devil Z's death, the bond he had forged between transtector and human ceased to exist, and Ginrai and the other humans were separated from their transtectors. The transtectors, however, had been evolved through their partnership with the humans and continued to exist as true super-robot life forms. Having been imprinted with his human partner's personality, Ginrai's transtector departed for space to pursue the surviving Decepticons and rejoin the greater war. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

Thinking he was Optimus Prime, she kissed him to obtain a fragment of what she believed was the [[Transformer afterlife|Allspark]] that had bonded to him (although in actuality, it was a fragment of [[Unicron]]'s [[Angolmois Energy|lifeforce]]). Discovering he was a human man, she was somewhat horrified to find that she had kissed someone ''other'' than Optimus Prime, and begged her Sparkbot companion [[Angela]] not to tell anyone. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 43|Kiss Players #43}}

[[File:LegendsManga BonusEdition35 SuperGinrai.jpg|thumb|left]]
Ginrai was summoned by the Headmasters Juniors to the [[Legends World]], where a transtector similar to his original one had appeared. Within it he found a new pair of Master-Braces that allowed him to become a Godmaster again, this time by forming the head of the transtector, and he transformed into Super Ginrai once more. Using Chōkon Power, he battled the Decepticons sent by a revived Devil Z to destroy the transtector, but was overwhelmed when they were augmented with Devil Power. The imperiled Ginrai was contacted by the factory computer of [[G Nebula 89]], responsible for his new body, who told him it could be powered up further through use of [[Getmaster]] technology. He attempted a Get On and ended up drawing upon the power of a passing-by [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], but found to his luck that the rat allowed him to access [[Beast Power|Jūchōkon]], a new form of Chōkon Power that he used to transform into a base mode and fire a "God Fire Base Attack" that sent Devil Z and his cronies packing. Ginrai then remained in the Legends Universe to defend it from Devil Z, but was rather annoyed that the locals kept mistaking him for Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 35|Bonus Edition Vol. 35}} He was later seen partying at the [[Dancitron]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 36|Bonus Edition Vol. 36}}

[[File:Legends Super Magna Convoy.jpg|right|thumb]]

While Ginrai was working for [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]]'s delivery service, the new Godbomber that was being built for him was stolen by Decepticons. He attacked [[Tera-Kura Co.|Decepticon Tera-Kura Co.]] to retrieve the robot only to find it under the control of [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]], who challenged him to a duel. Even Super Ginrai's Getmaster powers did not avail him against Godbomber's firepower and ability to avoid attacks by splitting apart, and he was defeated. Fortunately the ''real'' Godbomber appeared on the scene, allowing him to become God Ginrai once more and destroy the fake before celebrating his reunion with his old partner. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 42|Bonus Edition Vol. 42}} One morning, Ginrai woke up in the body of [[Magna Convoy]], seemingly having contracted [[Transformers sickness]]. He first wondered who Magna Convoy was, but when even [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] and [[Delta Magnus]] were unable to solve the mystery, he got back to his deliveries and stole Delta Magnus's trailer to replace his transtector's. He was soon accosted by the Decepticon Headmasters, who believed they had a chance now that he was just a normal robot, but sent them fleeing by combining with the trailer into Super Magna Convoy. Ginrai's customer, [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]], was so impressed that he offered him a movie role, but Ginrai lost his chance as he reverted into a human the next day. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Magna Convoy)|Bonus Edition Magna Convoy}}

God Ginrai was among those who took on a revived [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], believing his Triplemaster strength would avail him against the giant beast. However, he noticed too late that Trypticon was similarly drawing power from everyone he'd devoured, making him powerful enough to defeat Ginrai by ripping Godbomber off of him. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|Bonus Edition Vol. 43}} After Trypticon was defeated and integrated into [[Akihabara]], Ginrai was seen driving on the streets. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Prologue}} While on a job to transport Master-Braces to [[Bonapar Island]], Ginrai was blasted out of the sky by none other than Giga's Gigatank, and when he transformed to fight back, the Megajet showed up and separated him and Godbomber from their transtectors. Minerva and Cab were able to borrow the transtectors and drive the villains away, but not before they stole Ginrai's shipment of braces. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (God Ginrai)|Bonus Edition God Ginrai}} Knowing this heralded the inevitable return of Overlord, Ginrai revisited his home universe and had Godbomber's armor upgraded in anticipation of their battle. On [[Perceptor (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Perceptor]]'s request, he brought the [[Haywire (Targetmaster)|Haywire Laser]] with him back to the Legends World only to learn that the weapon was actually the [[Beastformer]] [[White Lune]], who scratched his face something fierce when he tried to stop her from wandering off. {{storylink|TF Legends Late Xmas Present Chapter|Late Xmas Present Chapter}}

Lured to the [[Chōkon Tower Chinese Restaurant]] by the offer of cheap food, Ginrai was met with Giga and Mega who revealed that they had come back to life to finish their rivalry once and for all with a duel. Super Ginrai was overwhelmed by his opponents' mastery of the Chōkon variation [[spirit energy|Shinchōkon]], forcing him to Get On with Rattrap and become God Ginrai, but even so he was brought low by Giga and Mega's ability to form their own separate Overlords and combine them into the mighty Overlord Tera. On the cusp of defeat, however, he managed to tap into the Shinchōkon emanating from Rattrap and use it together with Jūchōkon to defeat the Overlords with a "Double Chōkon Fire Guts" attack. Not one to hold a grudge, he then told Giga and Mega he was ready for a rematch any time. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 60|Bonus Edition Vol. 60}} When all Masterforce warriors joined forces to defend the world from Devil Z and his gigantic new BlackZarak, God Ginrai battled him using the combined weapon mode of [[Shaoshao Li]], [[Sue Faireborn]] and White Lune. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Grand Maximus)|Bonus Edition Grand Maximus}}

Ginrai witnessed [[Majin Zarak]]'s arrival in the Legends World {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One|Legends World in Imminent Danger!

When Ginrai, the first Autobot Godmaster, was discovered in America by Diver, it was immediately arranged for him to travel to Japan to meet with the rest of the Autobots. As Metalhawk and the Headmaster Juniors awaited his arrival at [[Harumi Wharf]], however, they were attacked by the Decepticon Godmasters, Hydra and Buster. The Autobots were unable to match the Decepticons' power, but salvation soon came in the form of a red tractor trailer: Ginrai had arrived, and saw the villains off with a blast of Chōkon Power. In the aftermath of the battle, Metalhawk commented on Ginrai's similarity to Optimus Prime and wondered if he could be his reincarnation. Ginrai dismissed the notion, explaining that he had chosen to do this not because he was fated to, but specifically because he had only one life, and wanted to use it in service of the forces of good. {{storylink|On Scene!

[[File:Superginrai manga.jpg|thumb|If he gets a [[black redeco]], I'm outta here.]]
As leader of the Autobots, Ginrai led the heroes in investigating a mysterious Decepticon plan, only for the team to come under attack from what appeared to be a large army of legendary Decepticons, led by [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Super-God Masterforce comic|Galvatron]]. Attacked by [[King Poseidon]], Ginrai was severely outmatched until the other Autobot Godmasters, Lightfoot, Ranger and Road King arrived with a trailer for his transtector. Combining with the trailer, Ginrai became Super Ginrai and defeated King Poseidon, revealing that the legendary Decepticons were nothing more than holograms. {{storylink|Burn, Chokon!

After traveling to planet [[Athenia]], Ginrai was appointed the new [[Supreme Commander]] of the Autobots by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]]. {{storylink|The Battle Begins!

When the Decepticon Ambassador of Destruction Overlord then attacked Tokyo, the newly formed "God Ginrai" attacked him and lured him into space, where the powerful Decepticon warrior BlackZarak was in process of battling other Autobots there. Ginrai was able to turn the two villains' powers against themselves, and they badly wounded each other and fled. {{storylink|God Ginrai's Amazing Divine Combination!}}

Left temporarily blind by the Decepticons' new [[A.O.

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Life or Death? The Desperate Divine Combination!}} {{storylink|The Great Turnabout of the Autobots}}}}

After several further battles, events culminated in Devil Z taking over BlackZarak's body and turning against the other Decepticons, attempting to drain Overlord and Ginrai's Jinchōkon Power to transform himself into the ultimate lifeform. Saved by the Autobot Pretenders, Ginrai and Overlord led their respective factions in combining their energies into the "Perfect Transformer Attack" and destroying Devil Z and BlackZarak for good. With Devil Z's death, the bond he had forged between transtector and human ceased to exist, and Ginrai and the other humans were separated from their transtectors. The transtectors, however, had been evolved through their partnership with the humans and continued to exist as true super-robot life forms. Having been imprinted with his human partner's personality, Ginrai's transtector informed Overlord that they would finish their fight out in space, and the Transformers departed the planet, leaving Ginrai and the other Autobot humans to return to their lives. {{storylink|The Birth of the Super Life-Forms}}

: Released in the fourth year of Takara's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' line under the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' banner, Ginrai a remolded version of the Hasbro [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Powermaster Optimus Prime figure]], transforming into a red, blue and grey tractor-trailer, only able to transform into [[robot mode]] when the small Ginrai human figure is put into engine mode and snapped into place in the truck's grill, unlocking the clasp that holds the legs in place. When the cab is in robot mode, the trailer can become a battle station. Either robot or station can be armed with any of the toy's weapons, including two black "Superconductor Rifles", and two grey double-barrelled "Particle Beam Cannons", (referred to as "Cannon Craft" in "[[The Battle Begins! The Earth-Space Alliance Army]]"), which can be piloted by any small Godmaster figures. The cab and trailer can be merged into "Super Ginrai", whose head is a separate piece, and can go on to combine with the separately sold Godbomber to become God Ginrai.

: Differences between Ginrai and Powermaster Optimus Prime include retractable super-robot fists, a die-cast metal cab with translucent blue plastic windows, shortened smokestacks, a more metallic grey plastic, chrome on the Godmaster Ginrai engine, and silver paint rather than stickers for the small robot's upper legs.

: Super Ginrai was also sold in a gift set with Godbomber, who can interact with Ginrai in several ways. Trailer mode Godbomber can hook up either directly to Ginrai's cab or to the back of Ginrai's own trailer and be towed along behind him, while any of Ginrai's weapons can plug into the holes in Godbomber's wings and chassis. Most prominently, of course, Godbomber disassembles into various component parts that combine with Super Ginrai to form God Ginrai. Godbomber's legs become boots known as "God Legs", to which Ginrai's Particle Beam Cannons attach; his chest and wings form the "God Wing" backpack; his arms clip over the top of Ginrai's own as the "God Punch"; and his back becomes a chromed chestplate called the "God Breast", into the top of which the spring-loaded, missile-firing "God Cannon" plugs. The toy also features a secondary, lesser combination referred to as the "God Breaster", which involves attaching the God Breast to Super Ginrai, and plugging Godbomber's wings into his arms.

:The God Ginrai giftset was reissued in Japan in 2001 with the notable modification of blue eyes for the small Ginrai robot and a slightly different shade of red paint on the cab. However, it was notoriously over-produced, and online retailers were still selling it even years later, at greatly reduced prices. The blue plastic used on this reissue appears to be susceptible to [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|GPS]], becoming brittle and prone to breakage over time.

:This giftset is the basis for the ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#ApexArmorPrime|Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor]]" release, which is notable for referring to the [[Powermaster]] figure as "Ginrai", rather than [[Hi-Q]]. The ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' profile series sidestepped this issue by presenting "Ginrai" as a different name for Hi-Q.

:*''ID number:'' '''TF Super Ginrai 1'''
:*''Accessories:'' Blue gun, robot head, die-cast Super Ginrai figurine

: Like the other figures in the ''[[Transform Jr]]'' line, this version of the basic Ginrai cab robot is a simplified version of its larger counterpart. And when we say simplified, we ''mean'' simplified—the figure features no Godmaster engine gimmick, and its head is simply pulled off and set aside for transformation. The figure comes packaged with a small die-cast metal figurine of Super Ginrai.

:*''Accessories'': 2 red guns, trailer post, 2 wheel pieces, ramp, Super Ginrai head

: This ''Transform Jr'' figure of the ''Shirei Kichi'' (司令基地, "Command Base") is a simplified version of Ginrai's trailer, which can transform to base mode, hitch up to the separately sold cab robot and combine with it to form Super Ginrai. The toy includes a cardboard mock-up of Ginrai in torso mode to complete the super robot's look in-package.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''God Ginrai''' (Multi-pack, 1988)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Blue gun, small robot head, die-cast Super Ginrai figurine, 2 red guns, trailer post, 2 wheel pieces, ramp, Super Ginrai head, "God Breast" chestpiece, 2 "God Punch" arms

:This giftset includes both the ''Jr'' "Ginrai" and "Shirei Kichi" figures and all the accessories which came with them plus the attachments necessary to transform Super Ginrai into God Ginrai. Due to the nature of his construction, though, God Ginrai's fist-holes are blocked off, leaving him unable to hold the weapons which came with his components. Furthermore, as his attachments consist only of two arms and a chestpiece (no boots, no backpack), they cannot combine into Godbomber. The set also includes some sort of plastic "shield" with a cardboard insert depicting the Autobot [[insignia]], which appears to be a pocket or belt clip, or something. We really don't know.

*'''Ginrai''' (2006?)
**''ID number:'' '''BT-17'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/blaster

:When Hasbro wanted to create an ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Dodge Ram toy, Takara reportedly demanded that it be made into [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Alternators|Optimus Prime]] to help the figure sell, only for the ''Binaltech'' release of the toy to wind up being solicited not as "Convoy", but as Ginrai. Ultimately, ''[[Transformers: Alternators#Binaltech|Binaltech]]'' Ginrai was cancelled, and the figure was later released as Optimus Prime/Convoy in the ''Alternators'' and ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' lines, but not before [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] produced [[Binal Time (preproduction)|character and story information]] to go along with it. Unlike [[Widow's Edge|the unreleased story]] for his fellow ''Binaltech'' cancellation victim, [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], which fits into the published ''Binaltech'' continuity, Ginrai's intended story was modified into [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity#The Protector|Optimus Primal]]/[[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Story of Binaltech|Nemesis Prime]]'s fiction and therefore is not compatible with the official ''Binaltech'' continuity.

:Ginrai was solicited at the same time as ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech Asterisk|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Binaltech Asterisk|BTA-04 Black Convoy]], which was also cancelled and would have used the same mold.

{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Super Ginrai is a redeco/extensive retool of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Leader Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Titans Return|Powermaster Optimus Prime]], with new parts to resemble his original toy and his appearances in the cartoon. The Ginrai Headmaster, retooled from [[Hi-Q#Generations|Apex]], features a cartoon accurate deco in robot mode, and a new head-mode face based on the original Ginrai toy's core robot mode. Super Ginrai transforms into a trailer truck and a command base, with both modes equipped with pegs and seats for Headmaster/[[Titan Master]] figures to interact with. While Super Ginrai reuses the shoulder cannons that came with Powermaster Optimus Prime, his two blasters are new to this iteration of the mold. Both blasters can be pegged together at the top to create a seat that can accommodate a headmaster or Titan Master.

:Like his original figure, Super Ginrai is capable of interacting with the ''Legends'' [[Godbomber#Legends|Godbomber]] figure, which can either attach to the back of his truck mode or combines with his robot mode to form God Ginrai. However, the resultant God Ginrai combination can suffer some balancing issues due to the extra weight Godbomber's parts add to his back, along with some issues with his joints.

:This retooled mold was also used to make [[Ginrai (robot)#Titans Return|Magnus Prime]].

Additionally, both weapons can combine together to form a double-barrelled over-shoulder weapon. He also features two accessories that are new to this mold: the Matrix Sword, which was reused from Voyager Class ''Titans Return'' [[Alpha Trion (G1)#Generations|Alpha Trion]] and ''Legends'' [[Lio Convoy#Legends|Leo Prime]], and the large gun accessory from ''Titans Return'' [[Mindwipe (G1)#Generations|Mindwipe]].

:Part of the ninth wave of Kabaya's ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' candy toy series, this Ginrai figure is a snap-together model kit cast in blue, red and grey plastic. Although lacking in any paint applications, the figure feature stickers for detail, and retains most of the accessories and features of the actual Ginrai toy. Due to its small size, however, while the Ginrai engine is removable, it cannot transform to human form, nor can the kit combine with ''Transformers Gum'' Godbomber to form a ''Gum'' version of God Ginrai.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Ginrai came packaged with the head and torso of the wave's [[Scorponok (G1)#Super Collection Figure|BlackZarak]] "Build-A-Figure". These parts were available in both full-color and smokey translucent plastic, in an equal ratio of 4 out of every 10 cases each.

==Notes==
*''Jinrai'' (迅雷) is a Japanese word meaning "thunderclap", but Japanese creator [[Masumi Kaneda]], who named the character, notes the name was designed to evoke various other Japanese words that reflect the character, including ''shinrai'' (信頼, "trust"), ''kamurai'' (神来, "coming from God"), ''nin'ai'' (人愛, "love of people") and ''jin'ai'' (仁愛, "benevolence"). While ''Jinrai'' is the standard way of rendering the katakana that make up his name (ジンライ) in Latin characters, the name is consistently rendered as "Ginrai" in various Japanese sources, including the toy's packaging and the opening sequence of the ''Masterforce'' cartoon. Kaneda notes that this was also deliberate, with '''G'''in'''R'''ai intended to evoke '''G'''iant '''R'''obot.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://twitter.com/KanedaMasumi/status/1488901765923700736|quote=ジンライ(迅雷)を名付けた者がお答えします。正式には「GINRAI」です。信頼、神来、人愛、仁愛、そして「GR」=GIANT ROBOTの意味が含まれています。|name=Masumi Kaneda|site=Twitter|year=2022|month=02|day=02}}</ref> An elegant feature of the name to Kaneda was the fact that every katakana character in the name contains the ''no'' (ノ) character as a {{w|Chinese character strokes|stroke}}.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://twitter.com/KanedaMasumi/status/1156543478152613888|quote=もちろん漢字にすれば迅雷です。「ジンライ」ってカタカナで書くと、4文字すべてに「ノ」が入るすわりの良さが隠し味です。|name=Masumi Kaneda|site=Twitter|year=2019|month=07|day=31}}</ref> God Ginrai (ゴッドジンライ), meanwhile, was named so that omitting every other Japanese syllable yields the word Gojira (ゴジラ), better known in the west as [[Godzilla]].<ref>{{citesocial|name=Masumi Kaneda|quote=Also, there’s something of a secret about his naming, that being that the powered up “God Ginrai” is pulled from “Godzilla.” For that reason, I think the name echoes a strong feeling.|site=''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]''|year=2001|month=07}} ([https://web.archive.org/web/20050207000229/http://www.tfpulp.com/archive/interview/interview.html translated at TFPulp.com] (archived))</ref>

Liliesrobots: /* Galaxy Version */

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Marvel, Naruto, and most relevant here, Transformers.

Their Transformers effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
{{picsneeded|Classic Class, Action Edition, Galaxy Defender}}

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their base's faction symbol activates their light features, vigorous shaking not required.

===Galaxy Version Defender===
Launched in late 2024, ''Galaxy Version Defender'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand at roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining a lot of the articulation. In addition, ''Defender'' introduces buildable alt modes as well, with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants.

Nosecone (G1)

Liliesrobots: /* Notes */

{{factions|autobot|wreckers}}
{{disambig3|Nosecone}}
:''Nosecone is an [[Autobot]] [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:NoseconeMoneyIsEverything.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb|For someone so slow, he can look very dynamic.]]
'''Nosecone'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s natural slowness of thought and action is often taken for laziness, but this is a misperception. Nosecone is a perfectionist, valuing precision over speed, and will take whatever time is needed to complete his objective as completely and competently as possible. His results speak for themselves—he's not the quickest bot on the block, but he'll do the job right.

He can combine with the other Technobots to form [[Computron (G1)|Computron]].

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
[[File:LoveAndSteel-reportswereright.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.6]]
Nosecone was part of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]'s group of Autobots on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. When Fortress Maximus decided to leave the war and head to [[Nebulos]], Nosecone and the other Technobots agreed to follow him on his quest for peace. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}} However, the Decepticons followed the Autobots to Nebulos and brought the war with them.

In the Nebulos resort city of [[Splendora]], Nosecone and the Technobots fought [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] as the combined [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. Though Abominus was defeated and routed, Splendora lay in ruins. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}} ''Nosecone and Lightspeed were badly injured during a Decepticon raid. The incident helped galvanize Fortress Maximus's decision over whether or not the Autobots should leave the planet behind.'' {{storylink|The Final Conflict}} Both factions ultimately left Nebulos for [[Earth]]. Nosecone and the rest of the crew of the ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'' met up with the main Autobot force aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to watch [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] battle Fortress Maximus's champion [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] for overall leadership of the Autobots. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

After [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] was empowered by his short exposure to the [[Underbase]], he obliterated all of the Technobots, including Nosecone, in [[Buenos Aires]]. {{storylink|Dark Star}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
[[File:Autobots attack space pirates.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8]]
When [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] responded to a garbled distress signal on Cybertron, he brought back-up in the form of [[Eject (G1)|Eject]], Nosecone and the rest of the Technobots. Surprisingly enough, the Autobots found themselves fighting alongside their Decepticon nemeses against the [[Quintesson]]s. Together, the Cybertronians managed to drive off the alien invaders, preventing them from forcefully colonizing their homeworld. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

In an alternate future of [[2510]], the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons concluded, and an Autobot Civil War began. During a heated discussion over whether Ultra Magnus or [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] should succeed [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]] as Autobot leader now that he was stepping down, the Autobots came to blows and rashly opened fire, leading to several deaths. Nosecone and the Technobots joined up with Ultra Magnus against Springer and his [[Wreckers]], and so new battle lines were drawn. {{storylink|Peace}}

====''Regeneration One''====
{{NoteRG1}}
[[File:Lightspeed nosecone natural selection.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]
Hot Rod had Nosecone and [[Lightspeed (G1 Technobot)|Lightspeed]] lead an excavation team beneath [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] to search for the old tunnels that led to the [[Primus|Primus Chamber]]. Shortly after reporting back their success, the entire team was slaughtered by [[Demon]]s. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Two}}

====''Transformers '84''====
[[File:Ultra magnus perceptor nosecone lightspeed secrets and lies.jpg|thumb|upright=1.7]]
Nosecone and [[Lightspeed (G1 Technobot)|Lightspeed]] were members of a team led by [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], tasked with investigating a mysterious explosion during the early days of the [[Great War (G1)|war]] on Cybertron. Reporting to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]], Nosecone revealed that the "explosion" was in fact a controlled blast from a [[Project Dreadnought|massive planetary turbine]], apparently intended to alter Cybertron's course through the cosmos. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 2|Secrets & Lies #2}}

[[File:Grimlocks-new-brain-nosecone-vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2|If you become a wall that stands in my way, I'll tear open a hole and break through you every time!]]
Nosecone was the first of the Technobots to be created by the temporarily super-intelligent [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]]. He was built using parts from within [[Unicron]]'s head, specifically for the purpose of tunneling through the reinforced walls within the chaos-bringer. Shortly afterwards, he combined with his new comrades to form Computron. Rodimus Prime welcomed the new team into the Autobot ranks back on Cybertron. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

[[File:Money-is-everything-afterburner-nosecone-consideredattention.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]
A short while later, he and the other Technobots were sent to [[Earth]] to learn how to interact with [[human]]s, taught by [[Marissa Faireborn]]. Nosecone advised careful consideration when Afterburner wanted to rush off into a fight with the Terrrocon Hun-Gurr, advice which Afterburner carefully ignored. After the battle, they encountered the unscrupulous trader [[Dirk Manus]], who led them to his earstwhile allies, the [[Quintesson]]s and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], on Titan. As they dove to the rescue of their companions, Nosecone's scrupulous advice to Afterburner was once again roundly ignored. Captured by Manus, the Technobots were led to the Quintesson base, with Nosecone finding the trader's actions "quite intriguing". Manus furtively healed the team's injuries, enabling them to defeat [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] shortly afterward. {{storylink|Money Is Everything (episode)|Money Is Everything}}

The Technobots responded to the Terrorcon attack on [[Mark Morgan]]'s laboratory. Combining into Computron, they fought Abominus, but the battle inadvertently injured Morgan's [[Jessica Morgan|daughter]], leading the scientist and his friend [[Gregory Swofford]] to infect the Autobots with the [[Hate Plague]]. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} Months later, the Technobots were present for the attack on [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] where the Decepticons stole the key to the [[Plasma energy|plasma energy chamber]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} When the Golden Age of Cybertron was restored, Nosecone was among the crowd cheering for the revival. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

Nosecone and his Technobot comrades were under construction at [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] when the Autobots sought the aid of Doctor [[Dalton]] in improving their abilities. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}} Dalton heavily upgraded the Technobots' weaponry, allowing the combined Computron to easily outmatch the Decepticon combiner, Abominus. As the Decepticon motto goes, however: When in doubt, cheat. [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] outfitted the Terrorcons with "[[Cohesive Control Liquid]]", a substance that enabled them to assume control over Computron. Dalton arranged for [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] to use a special [[exosuit]] to approach Computron safely and administer an antidote. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 2|The Great Transformer War #2}}

====''Generations Selects Special Comic'' (1)====
As part of Computron, Nosecone took on [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] alongside an Autobot/Decepticon alliance in [[2011]]. {{storylink|Super Megatron comic 1}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
In [[2011]], Galvatron staged a major attack on Cybertron. Nosecone and the Technobots joined the Dinobots on the front lines of defense. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} As [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] began his search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] on Earth, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] gathered Nosecone and the Technobots to prevent the Decepticons from hampering his quest. When Hot Rod finally located the Matrix, [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] confronted him with the Decepticon [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s and Terrorcons, but the Technobots arrived to help even the odds. Scattershot ordered them to form Computron, and the mighty giant occupied the Decepticons so that Hot Rod could make a break for the [[space bridge]]. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

[[File:Hm6 Nosecone Scattershot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Later, Galvatron launched [[Metamorphose]], a metal-twisting meteorite, and the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s were its first victims. Nosecone and the Technobots were sent out to recover their damaged comrades for repairs, but they were intercepted by the Terrorcons. The fighting escalated with new arrivals on both sides, as the Decepticons tried to keep their foes occupied until the meteorite reached [[Athenia]], destroying the Autobots completely. The [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] eventually arrived to carry the Headmasters into space to confront the meteorite, and so Nosecone and the Technobots formed Computron and covered their retreat. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}}

[[File:Hm13 Technobots vs Buridanka.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
When [[buridanka|a giant carnivorous plant]] took root in [[San Francisco]], Ultra Magnus sent Nosecone and the Technobots to deal with the incident. The plant proved to be extraordinarily resilient, however, and it was also guarded by the Decepticons. The Technobots were distracted by combat with the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], first as individuals and later combined as Computron and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} After the Trainbots ran into trouble on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], Nosecone and his team were on the way to help when [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] intervened. The Earthbound Decepticons succeeded in occupying the Technobots so that they couldn't make it to Mars. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}}

Nosecone and the Technobots were part of a strike team that flew to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to disrupt Scorponok's gathering of Decepticons. They immediately formed Computron upon entering the battle. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}} Nosecone's regiment later helped load the Trainbots with energon supplies for the destitute planet [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]]. They were attacked by the greedy Decepticons and fought back both as the mighty Computron and as individuals, using the Trainbots' large vehicle modes as a shield. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

The Technobots accompanied Fortress on his quest to prevent the Decepticons from stealing energy elsewhere in the galaxy. During this extended mission, Nosecone and his teammates formed Computron to battle [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] on the planet [[Paradise]]. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}}

After returning to Earth, Nosecone and the Technobots reassociated with Ultra Magnus at Autobot City on Earth. They were sent to [[Florida|Miami]] to counter a Decepticon attack, and battled Abominus as Computron. Unfortunately, the attack was a ruse to draw them away from Autobot City, and they were unable to stop Sixshot's assassination of Ultra Magnus. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} The Decepticon attacks continued even after Magnus's death, as Sixshot launched five separate strikes at once around the world. Nosecone and the Technobots were dispatched as Computron to one of the many battle sites. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} When the Decepticons seemingly abandoned Earth, Nosecone and the Technobots assisted Spike in rebuilding the planet after the enemy's departure. On one occasion, they located Sixshot's old command base. By combining into Computron, the Technobots helped Defensor and Raiden obliterate the base, wiping out all trace of the Decepticons' presence. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

As part of Computron, Nosecone participated in the Autobots final battle with Scorponok's Decepticons at the North Pole. He lent his energies to the Headmasters' [[Head Formation]] to revitalize Fortress Maximus at the critical moment. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

====''Unite Warriors''====
[[File:UniteWarriorsOffshot Nosecone.jpg|upright=1|thumb]]
Upon learning of the human custom of [[Father's Day]], the Technobots decided to throw a surprise party for their own "father", Grimlock. Nosecone helped out by making decorations, and was still busy with this task when Grimlock arrived earlier than expected. {{storylink|Surprise Father's Day Party!!}}

====''Generations Selects Special Comic'' (2)====
In 2050, humans and the [[Cybertron Alliance]] learned how to harness [[Angolmois Energy]] from beneath the Earth's surface. It was used for many purposes, including medical procedures such as restoring the lost memories of the Autobot, [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. Nosecone and the Technobots were overjoyed by Wheeljack's restoration, as they considered him their "grandfather" for creating Grimlock and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 1}}

Relations soured between the Cybertron Alliance and humanity when humans created their own living robots called [[Selector]]s, who rose up and demanded their freedom. The Technobots prepared to abandon [[Earth Defense Command]] headquarters at [[Neo Scramble City]]. At [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus's]] request, they transformed into Computron to determine the humans' chances of winning. Computron initially calculated humanity's odds at approaching zero, but the probability changed drastically when Grimlock and the Dinobots declared loyalty to humanity. The Technobots refused to stand against their father, and entered the battle on the side of the Dinobots. Nosecone and the Technobots merged with the newly combiner-compatible Grimlock, forming [[Volcaticon]]. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 2}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Stormbringer issue 1|''Stormbringer'' #1]]}}
[[File:Stormbringer2 Nosecone Afterburner.jpg|left|upright=1.2|thumb|Nosecone will always walk you home after a long night of Energon exposure.]]
During the reign of [[Zeta Prime (G1)|Zeta Prime]], Nosecone served in the forensic department of [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]]'s Autobot security forces. Nosecone was unimpressed when Prowl assigned new recruit [[Jetfire (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jetfire]] to work alongside him in the lab. {{storylink|The Next Day, and the Next}} True to form, Nosecone took a long time to warm up to his new workmate, giving him the silent treatment for at least a week after Jetfire began work. {{storylink|What It's Really Like}}

Approximately 4 million years later, Nosecone and the other Technobots crewed the Autobot vessel ''[[Calabi-Yau]]'', under Jetfire's command. After landing on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattershot]], [[Lightspeed (G1 Technobot)|Lightspeed]], and [[Strafe (G1)|Strafe]] accompanied Jetfire on a reconnaissance mission and were captured by [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s group of [[Decepticon]]s. Nosecone and [[Afterburner (G1)|Afterburner]], having taken the ''Calabi-Yau'' back into orbit, were fired on by missiles, barely getting off an SOS. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 1|Stormbringer #1}}

The two crash-landed back on Cybertron after escaping the doomed ship in an emergency pod. As if the toxic environment of the planet wasn't enough, they were attacked almost immediately by [[Centurion droid]]s. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2|Stormbringer #2}}

With Afterburner knocked out, Nosecone survived just long enough to see the [[Wreckers]] charge in to the rescue. He was evacuated by [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] to a safer location, and then revived by [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]]. The clearly still-hurting Nosecone wanted to accompany the Wreckers as they invaded Bludgeon's base to rescue the others, but was told by Topspin to "leave it to the professionals". {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 3|Stormbringer #3}}

After Jetfire's team finished their study of Bludgeon's base and left Cybertron, they arrived in the [[Muta-Gaath Nebula]] on the ''[[Ark-27]]'s'' to assist in the recovery of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] and to incarcerate [[Pretender Monster|six Transformers]] capable of [[Combiner|combining]] with each other to form a [[Monstructor (G1)|single robot]]. Nosecone oversaw the transportation of the prisoners onto their ship. {{storylink|Spotlight: Optimus Prime}}

[[File:Voracious Sweeps Lamentations.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|OWIE.]]
Later, he was with the Technobots helping Jetfire try to reverse the debilitating effects of [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s gestalt technology on [[Garrus-9]]'s newest inmates. During the subsequent attack by the [[Decepticon Secret Service]] in an attempt to kidnap the gestalt members, Nosecone and the other Technobots were disabled by the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}}

At Jetfire's behest, Nosecone and the Technobots began reverse-engineering the [[Pretender|polydermal grafting process]] that Bludgeon had used on himself, {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}} and rushed out aboard the ''[[Nightbird (ship)|Nightbird]]'' to deliver the shells to the crew of the ''[[Mirror-Manifold]]''. {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}} Nosecone and the others got to the vessel just in time to save them from [[Cyclonus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Cyclonus]] and gifted [[Cloudburst]] and his crew with new power-enhancing outer shells. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

Years later, Nosecone was stationed at [[Kimia Facility]] when Cyclonus and the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]]s attacked and massacred the Autobots there. He met with an especially horrible fate as the Sweeps ripped him apart ''with their teeth''. {{storylink|Chaos Part One: Lamentations}}

===2019 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Light/Star|''Transformers Annual 2021'']]}}
[[File:LightStar-Afterburner_Nosecone.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2]]
Nosecone and the [[Technobot (G1)|Technical Solutions Team]] joined up with [[Lodestar (Titan)|Lodestar]] and [[Lightbright (G1)|Lightbright]] to search for [[Vigilem]], the rogue [[Titan (group)|Titan]] who attacked the [[Winged Moon]]. Afterburner and Nosecone passed the downtime in their search playing games, though in the end Afterburner always lost. Vigilem was eventually located at the [[Hexagon]] outpost. Base commander [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] was recalcitrant with the team as they tried to secure Vigilem without leading to violence. Nosecone had to remind Afterburner (again, apparently) that collateral damage was a bad thing and to be avoided. [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] and [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] made to lead Nosecone and Scattershot to Vigilem's docking controls while [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] led Strafe and Lightspeed to the energon conduits feeding his repairs. When comms suddenly shut down, Scattershot smelled a set up and soon they were trading laser fire with the Seekers. Nosecone dug them a path into the atmosphere pipes, and they soon rescued Afterburner from Thunderwing's other guard, [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]. A restored comms broadcast led them to Strafe and Lightspeed, who found the criminal scientist [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]] performing experiments on Thunderwing's behalf. The Technical Solutions Team reunited and then genuinely united as Scattershot fell into the [[Combination Core]], an artificial [[Enigma of Combination]] Airachnid had been working on. The resulting eruption brought the Team together as never before, creating a new Combiner known as Computron. Thunderwing ejected that section of Hexagon, leaving him/them to drift through space. The Technical Solutions Team disassembled and were recovered by Lodestar after she destroyed Vigilem. {{storylink|Light/Star}}

Nosecone and his team returned to Cybertron aboard the badly damaged Lodestar. They met with Optimus Prime and the besieged Autobots at [[Crystal City]] as they faced [[Strika (BM)|Strika]] and the Decepticon army. Computron and Lodestar were enough to make the Decepticons give pause, but the Technobots could not retain their combiner form indefinitely. Optimus sent them on ahead to the evacuation site at [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]] to recover. {{storylink|The Landscape of Fear}} The other Autobots eventually made their way towards Darkmount, preparing to leave Cybertron aboard the last ''Ark''. Computron battled the Decepticons' combiner [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] as the passengers loaded, but wasn't strong enough on his own. Nosecone and the Technobots were forced apart, but Scattershot managed to double their strength by adding five volunteers from the [[Senate Guard|Prime Guard]] to a new Computron. They sacrificed themselves to hold the Decepticons until the ''Ark'' took off, and the Autobots left behind were apprehended and imprisoned by Megatron. {{storylink|Transformers: Fate of Cybertron|Fate of Cybertron}}

:*''Team ID number'': '''TK2'''
:*''Takara ID number'': '''C-87'''
:*''Accessories'': "[[X-ray laser pistol]]", left & right "[[rocket-propelled missiles]]"

: Released in the fourth year of Hasbro's US ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' toyline (third year in Europe and in Takara's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' line), Technobot Nosecone transforms into a [[Popular Cybertronian vehicle alternate modes#Drill tank|Cybertronic drill-tank]]. He has a pair of "Rocket-Propelled" missiles that attach to his vehicle mode (though you can leave them off and give him a more low-riding vehicle form).

: As a "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and 2010)|Scramble City]]"-style combiner, he can form any limb to any compatible super robot combination, but his nominal placement is as the left leg of [[Computron (G1)#toys|Computron]]. This results in an off-centered foot, since Nosecone doesn't have one peg hole in the center like most other Scramble City-style combiner limbs, but rather ''two'' holes left and right; the instructions show there was originally supposed to be a footplate with an off-center peg to compensate, but this did not make it to the final release. Nosecone is one of the very few Scramble City-style combiner limbs who, when used in their normal placement, faces backwards.

: Towards the end of the Technobots' production run, they not only lost their [[rubsign]]s, but lost the molded-in indents that said rubsigns went into. While the other Technobots had the indents completely smoothed out as if they never existed, Nosecone's drill-topping block couldn't really be eliminated so easily, so the indent was partially filled in with a raised grill pattern.

: There is also a packaging variant for all four small Technobots, which included a random bonus Autobot [[Decoy|"Decoy" mini-figurine]].

Nosecone's [[tampograph]]s are slightly altered, changing the flat light gray to metallic silver.

:*''Accessories'': Drill-gun

: ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Nosecone is a [[redeco]] and slight [[retool]] of [[Brawl (G1)#Combiner Wars|Brawl]], transforming into a drill-tank. Brawl's gun/tank-barrel has been replaced with the non-spinning drill accessory that was previously included with the [[BotCon 2016]] exclusive [[Ram Horn#Generations|General Ramhorn]] figure. The "floppy waist" issue that affected a lot of Brawls appears to have been (mostly) remedied on Nosecone; while it's still not ''the'' most secure waist connection, at least it's not quite as floppy. As a ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe Class figure, he can combine with any Voyager Class toys released as part of the ''Combiner Wars''/''Unite Warriors'' lines or with [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]] and form either an arm or a leg for the gestalt form, but his official purpose is to combine with his fellow Technobots and serve as the left leg of [[Computron (G1)#Combiner Wars|Computron]].

: Nosecone was only available as part of a Computron box set, including a poster and a collector card based on the set's packaging art. The set was one of several so-called "Collection Packs" that were "online exclusives" in the United States, available from online retailers such as [[Hasbro Toy Shop]], [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], and [[BigBadToyStore]] as well as the online stores of "big box" retailers such as [[Toys"R"Us]], [[Walmart]], [[Target]], and [[Kmart]]. In Hasbro's Asian markets such as Singapore and Taiwan, the set was available at general retail. In Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, it was sold at Toys"R"Us stores, whereas in Spain, it was available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés, supposedly also only available online.

:*''ID number'': '''UW-08'''
:*''Accessories'': drill, rifle, 2 small blasters/missiles, double-gun/foot/hand
{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Available only as part of the ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' Computicon giftset, Nosecone transforms into a drill tank, with a color scheme that sits about halfway between his cartoon's orange-and-maroon and his toy's yellow-and-brown. He is a ''heavy'' retooling of the ''Combiner Wars'' [[Rook (CW)#Toys|Rook]] mold (itself a heavy retool of ''Combiner Wars'' Swindle) rather than the drill-tank tooling of ''Combiner Wars'' Nosecone. Many of these new parts, including his rifle, have [[5 mm post|5 mm holes]] in them to accommodate accessories.

: His massive drill accessory can turn, but does not spin freely. The tip is spring-loaded to collapse into the drill [[for safety reasons]]. It uses both a small peg to attach to the main vehicle's armature, and a hollowed 5 mm post, which means he can use his front-facing first-holes to attach the drill there, or attach to the vehicle's front end to serve as a drill-hand for the arm mode. ''Awesome''. All three of his new guns are designed to be used with his particular hand-hole configuration ''and'' held in a more traditionally-oriented fist.

: Unfortunately, due to the internal molding of his shins, repeatedly transforming Nosecone will eventually create horizontal scratch marks across the hip parts of his thighs.

: The packaging assigns him the [[Alpha Bravo#Toys|Alpha Bravo]]/[[Blades (G1)#Combiner Wars|Blades]]/[[Vortex (G1)#Combiner Wars|Vortex]] "gatling gun" hand/foot/gun accessory, rather than the "missiles" one previously associated with Rook (which instead went to [[Strafe (G1)#Unite Warriors|Strafe]]).

{{suite}}
[[File:Siege-OptimusPrime-CardArt.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.66|It's great to be back...again!]]
With the evergrowing [[Generation 1 continuity family]], '''[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]''' continues to receive more toys—the largest number of toys in fact—for any single ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character! The more Generation 1 Optimus Prime toys that are made, the harder it is for us here at {{SITENAME SHORT}} to keep documenting them all in a single article without it resulting in [[you]]r internet browser freezing!

For the sake of finding an easy and definitive split from the main toy article, we have opted to make this page strictly for the various ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''-branded toylines, as this appears to be the brand [[Hasbro]] will likely continue adding Generation 1 characters to for the foreseeable future.

You know you can always count on Optimus Prime being there when the next year's ''Generations'' line comes around!

:''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' "'''Combat Hero Optimus Prime'''" is a metallic-blue, gunmetal, and red redeco of ''United'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#UnitedG2|Laser Optimus Prime]], having the retooled tab, and being based on the canceled ''Generation 2'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#HeroRecolorOptimusPrime|Combat Hero Optimus Prime figure]], sporting a red mouthplate inspired by the official catalog image for the unreleased toy (packaged samples had featured a traditionally colored gray mouthplate). He comes packed with a (vaguely) ''Generation 2''-styled Deluxe Class [[Jazz (G1)/toys#UltimateGiftSet|Autobot Jazz]], as well as unchanged releases of ''Generations'' Legends Class [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#UltimateGiftSet|Thundercracker]] and [[Motormaster (G1)#UltimateGiftSet|Motorbreath]].

:The Ultimate Gift Set was exclusive to online retailers in the United States, but was available at general retail in Asia.

*'''Optimus Prime & Autobot Roller''' (Legends Class, 2013)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #001'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

:Part of the third wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Legends Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Optimus Prime is roughly the same size as a ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toy and transforms into a semi-truck cab. Both his truck and [[robot mode]] are based on his [[Don Figueroa]]-designed body from [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[The Transformers (IDW)|2009-2011 comic series]], and features [[5 mm post|5 mm-compatible]] hands and roof. He comes with an [[Ion blaster#Legends|Ion Blaster]] which has both 5mm and 3mm posts.

: He comes with "[[Roller (G1)#Generations|Autobot Roller]]", who can transform into a six-wheel armored SUV, a robot with [[C joint|3 mm-compatible]] hands, and a weapon with a 5 mm handle. He has a 5 mm hole in vehicle mode and a 3 mm hole in weapon mode for mounting the Ion Blaster.

: Not depicted in the instructions or stock photos, Roller can attach to Prime in vehicle mode via two tabs on the vehicle front which slot into two corresponding slots on Prime's feet. Another undocumented feature is that the butt of the Ion Blaster can be inserted between the barrels of Roller's weapon mode to form a longer weapon. Also not shown in the instructions but depicted on the stock photo on the card-back is that Prime's shoulderpads can be rotated up; the intended positioning for this is notched, although you can position them at other angles.

: The stock photo of Optimus' vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed: his head slightly sticks out from the truck roof, which prevents the front windows to clamp together. This mold was also used to make ''Thrilling 30'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Generations|Nemesis Prime]], and retooled into ''Combiner Wars'' [[Huffer (G1)#Generations|Huffer]] and [[Pipes (G1)#Generations|Autobot Pipes]].

**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #002'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster, Energon Axe
{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax is based on [[Guido Guidi]]'s [[:File:SpotlightBlurr-Optimus.jpg|design for the character, originally seen]] in ''[[Spotlight: Blurr]]''. Some liberties have been taken with the original concept to facilitate his Cybertronian truck mode, which is a new design not based on the Guidi art. He comes with his [[Ion blaster#Deluxe|Ion Blaster]] and an [[Energon-axe#Deluxe|Energon Axe]] with a transparent red-orange blade, both of which can peg onto 5 mm ports on his hands and vehicle rear sides. Although not depicted on the instructions, the Ion Blaster can also peg into the hole in the larger blade of the Energon Axe. Even though the light-piping eyes are neutered by light blue paint, the side grooves are still able to light up as the paint only focuses on the central optic.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of IDW's ''[[Omega's Conundrum|Spotlight: Orion Pax]]'', which sports a 'Hasbro Exclusive Cover' cropped from the [[Clayton Crain]] [[:File:Spotlight OrionPax cvrRI.jpg|retailer incentive cover]] for the issue. In Europe and Canada, the figure was released without the Spotlight.

:Depending on how many painted layers on the Energon axe's hilt, inserting it onto any hand may cause it to scratch off.

:Most of the first-wave Orion Pax toys released in monolingual English [[packaging]] sport a bizarre [[quality control#Packaging images and labelling|error]]: The [[package art|character art]] on the side of the cardboard insert inside the blister bubble has the character art of Orion's [[wave]]-mate [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#T30Deluxe|Megatron]] superimposed over Orion's own art. This error doesn't appear on the [[Multilingual packaging|European packaging]].

:The toy was later [[Redeco|recolored]] and [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Lio Convoy#timelinestoy|Lio Convoy]], [[Optimus Prime (SG)#NovaPrime|Nova Prime]], and [[Galva Convoy#Toys|Galva Convoy]]. The mold was designed with a pre-tooled [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|Kup]] alternate head that remains unused.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/PetesRoboCon/posts/569672986709925 Behind-the-scenes details] from [[Fun Publications]] alumni Night Shining in a Facebook announcement for unofficial convention Pete's RoboCon 2018</ref>

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2015)

**''Accessories:'' Two blasters (combine into large rifle)
{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''Generations: [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Voyager Class toys, this is a bigger, bulkier incarnation of Optimus Prime with a striking resemblance to Ginrai. He comes with two blasters which he holds via 5 mm post. One of the guns is based on his trademark Ion Blaster, and both weapons store on the back of his vehicle mode as a makeshift engine block. His torso mode has several details that appear to be influenced by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|''Energon'' Optimus Prime]]'s super mode, including the head, chest, and thighs. In particular, the chest details are modeled after the [[Spark of Combination]]. He also features two pair of fake windows on his robot and gestalt chest halves. The combiner head can be used as a robot mode head if you're feeling silly.

:Optimus suffers from a design flaw that many other Voyager Class figures in the ''Combiner Wars'' line experience: the detents, or "click points", on the heavily-ratcheted outward motion of his hips (which also form the hips of his torso mode) are few in number and very far apart. As a result, Prime's legs have great difficulty assuming the natural "A-stance" formation that the angled design of his foot sculpt seems to have been meant to accommodate. Likewise, when forming the torso of Ultra Prime, the interactions of the knee-lock mechanism and the hip detents almost always force Ultra Prime's legs into either an awkwardly knock-kneed arrangement or an equally awkward, and often unstable, bow-legged posture (as seen in the image to the right) that prevents Ultra Prime from standing flat-footed. Unlike Motormaster, this version of Optimus was the only one to not receive the improved hip ratchets implemented in its future releases in some shape or form by Hasbro, though they would be used for the Battle Core redeco later in the line. If one wishes, the improved hip ratchets from a relevant release can be used to replace Prime's first edition ratchets to effectively fix him.

:Being a ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager, Prime is naturally capable of transforming into a torso mode to combine with any 4 Deluxe Class ''Combiner Wars''-style toys, though his packaging call-out has him form Ultra Prime by combining him with Deluxe Class [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]] and [[Alpha Bravo]] as the arms, and with [[Fireflight (G1)#Generations|Firefly]] and [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Decepticon Drag Strip]] as the legs. He can combine with [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Mirage]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]], and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ironhide]] if one wishes to have an IDW-accurate Optimus Maximus.

:Unfortunately, Optimus Prime is also the weakest link of the gestalt combination, due to a number of design failures attributed to his torso mode. The square holes-and-tabs used to secure the arms together when in torso mode are too weak to remain locked in place (though a very small amount of copies can secure the arm well), and are prone to falling out of position should an attached arm be moved. The torso mode's skirt plate is also attached to the stomach rather than the pelvis, rendering the waist swivel nearly worthless due to the skirt obstructing articulation.

:Though Optimus's wave was scheduled for a first quarter 2015 release, it arrived on U.S. store shelves in late 2014.

:Optimus comes packaged with a collector's card featuring art from the initial release of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. The mold would be retooled several times, resulting in [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#CWBC|Battle Core Optimus Prime]], and [[Toxitron (G1)#Combiner Wars|Wrecker Toxitron]]. The toy also served as a model for ''[[Transformers: Forged to Fight|Forged to Fight]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Transformers: Forged to Fight|Nemesis Prime]].

:"Battle Core Optimus Prime" is a white redeco and slight retool of the previous ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus figure. According to the Hasbro panel at [[BotCon 2015]], his new head is based on Star Convoy (see above).

:The figure features newly redesigned hip ratchets to make both robot and combiner mode stable, which were also installed in both TakaraTomy's [[Motormaster (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Motormaster]], [[Grand Scourge#Toys|Grand Scourge]], and a revision wave of Hasbro's Motormaster. The pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack) attach to have also been slightly modified to provide a tighter fit, making the latter toy much less prone to falling out.

:Battle Core Optimus Prime can combine with any Deluxe Class toys with the ''Combiner Wars''-styled joint—but, of course, he is intended to be combined with [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Mirage]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]], and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ironhide]] to form [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Generations|Optimus Maximus]]. He can also combine with ''Unite Warriors'' [[Streetwise (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Streetwise]], [[Groove (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Groove]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Unite Warriors|Prowl]], and ''Combiner Wars'' [[Rook (CW)#Generations|Rook]] to form White Convoy Grand Prime, as seen in the [[God Neptune comic 2|''Generations Selects'' Special Comic promoting God Neptune]].

:Battle Core Optimus Prime comes packaged with a collector's card based on his packaging art. the prototype printed on the back of the box & the stock photos, and the CG model in the instructions had him possessing a single tampographed/stickered symbol on his left arm.

:He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up in the U.S. at TJ Maxx at reduced prices.

:As a part of the third and fourth wave promotion in Hasbro's Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s and [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]] was given out when purchasing any four Deluxe Class toys from those waves. As such, Battle Core Optimus Prime was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2015/08/28/transformers-combiner-wars-sticker-sheet-for-wave-3-and-4-figures-300471 Protectobot and Optimus Maximus sticker promotion on TFW2005]</ref>

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cyber Battalion, 2015)

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]'' Cyber Battalion figures, Optimus Prime is a roughly Voyager-sized figure and transforms from a truck (which is based on the ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Legends Class Optimus Prime figure) into a robot in just 7 simple steps. The figure's transformation engineering had taken cues from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#2010Legend|''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class Optimus Prime]] figure, while it still retains the same ol' articulation.

:As with other earlier Cyber Series figures, Optimus Prime had a rather strange release cycle. At first, he only retailed exclusively in Asia and Latin America, with the closest to a U.S. release being in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com. He did, however, end up being available in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and also later as a Walgreens exclusive.

Surprisingly, he does have a reasonable amount of articulation, including a balljointed head and hinged joints for his arms, shoulders and legs, plus lateral hinges for his feet.

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Optimus Prime is yet another redeco of the ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' Voyager toy. Rather than the [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] colors like the ''Age of Extinction'' 2-pack figure, the toy's deco is very similar to the ''Classics'' release, with some changes and omissions: his blue plastic is a dark metallic sheen, his knee's yellow detailing was removed, his small Autobot symbol tampograph was placed on his right shoulder, and his larger one is placed on his energy unit. His side door/arm kibble is left unpainted. According to [[Mark Weber]], this was meant to represent his abdominal area being torn in the movie's battle. (Yeah, we have no idea how it works, since the "battle damage" parts end up on his ''arms'' in robot mode.)

:Both his robot and vehicle mode [[stock photography|stock photos]] depict him slightly mistransformed.

:''Platinum Edition'' Optimus Prime was only available as part of a 2-pack with [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#Platinum Edition|Megatron]], named "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall" after Optimus Prime's famous line in the movie. In the United States and Canada, this set was officially released as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive. It was also available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at Myer stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and available via Tesco's website (but never found in stores). Surprisingly, it was (and still is) a common find in Brazilian online stores.

*'''Autobot Apex & Powermaster Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2016)
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters, two shoulder cannons, [[Hi-Q#Generations|Apex]] Titan Master
{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist), [[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

:A heavy retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Generations|Ultra Magnus]], this Optimus Prime is based on the Powermaster Optimus Prime toy from 1988. Despite this, Hi-Q (now renamed 'Autobot Apex', presumably for trademark reasons) doesn't form the engine on Prime's chest; instead, he transforms into a de-faceplated version of the original Powermaster Optimus Prime cab robot head, over which a helmet slides during transformation to complete the Powermaster Prime look. In all three of Optimus Prime's modes are various pegs and seats with which Titan Master figures can interact. Like other Leader Class figures, his base mode can connect to other ''Titan Returns'' figures with base modes.

:Most notably in terms of new tooling, the panels on the undersides of Powermaster Optimus Prime's forearms feature slots under the fists, which allow the guns to tab in and be held much more stably than with Ultra Magnus. And due to the amount of empty space in the cab area in vehicle mode, Powermaster Prime can fully transform without the need to remove his head.

:Powermaster Optimus Prime also comes with a collector's card based on his packaging art.

:Optimus comes with the same rifles as ''Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus'' which have the undocumented feature of combining into a huge multi-barreled rifle. His instructions show that one of the two Titan Master seat guns can peg onto the top of his chest plate in base mode, but are unclear on exactly ''how''. The tab on the chest plate plugs into the hole where the Titan Master's feet peg in. However, in doing so the Titan Master will no longer fit. Due to the extra panels that were added to the legs, Optimus can not stand totally flat on both feet. Fortunately, this doesn't have any serious effect on the toy's stability due to the size of the feet. His gray plastic has a particularly warm tint compared to the original, likely the result of referencing a [[Photodegradation|yellowed]] specimen of the original Powermaster figure (such as the one on [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|this very page]]). Optimus' Autobot symbols are also in two different styles. The ones on the shoulders are of the Movie variety, while the trailer features a traditional ''Generation 1''-styled insignia.

:[[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Titans Return|Fortress Maximus]]'s instructions depict him as part of the [[Cybertron City (TR)|Cybertron City]] combination. Meanwhile, the "Siege on Cybertron" instructions show him as a part of the [[Nemesis Command]] combination, albeit mislabeled as [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Autobot Blaster]].

:This mold was further retooled as ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Ginrai (human)#Legends|Super Ginrai]], which was redecoed into Siege On Cybertron [[Ginrai (robot)#Titans Return|Magnus Prime]].

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:This Optimus Prime is a Voyager-sized Triple Changer mold, which transforms from robot to [[Octane (G1)|Octane]]-ish tanker truck to plane. His robot mode is heavily based on ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]], whilst the deco appears to draw from Star Convoy. His Titan Master partner [[Diac#Toys|Diac]] transforms into his head (but any Titan Master figure is compatible). Like all ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Voyager class figures, he has built-in mechanisms to "bulk up" his noggin. In his case, these are spring-loaded pylons. His robot mode also features fake truck windows.

:This iteration of the mold and its redecoes exhibit a minor design flaw: there are two tabs on the plane mode's wings that prevent the truck mode's trailer from fully closing at the rear. Ostensibly, this can be rectified by setting the wings slightly askew so they can properly flatten against each other. However, this leads to some holes on each wing not being lined up with some corresponding pegs on the trailer.

:The stock photo is slightly mistransformed: the wings in jet mode should sit further forward to better resemble a real commercial jet. The packaging art and instructions show the correct orientation. This error is present in photography for all reuses of this variant of this mold.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Legends'' [[Scourge (RID)#Voyager|Black Convoy]] and ''Street Fighter X Transformers'' [[Ryu#Toys|Ryu]], and retooled into [[Octane#Titans Return|Octone]]. Beginning with this wave, Hasbro changed the standard packaging design for ''Titans Return'' Voyagers from "Autobot" style to "Decepticon" style regardless of character faction.

:This mold would've been redecoed as "Action Master" Optimus Prime with a redecoed Infinitus Titan Master for the BotCon 2017 "Action on Hydrus Four" set that never came to be.

: Optimus & Shreddicus were initially [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2017, where they sold out.

This version also removes the red paint on the die cast hinge piece in his body and replaces it with blue paint. Sadly, this figure doesn't come with the Key to Vector Sigma.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Mark Maher]] (deco artist)}}

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' "Evolution Optimus Prime" transforms from a truck with a trailer into a robot and back. The truck cab transforms into his "Orion Pax" form based on his appearance in the Generation 1 episode "[[War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn]]", and he is able to form the core of Optimus Prime's robot mode. His trailer forms Prime's entire body, sharing a noticeable amount of details with MP-10 mold, most notably an almost identical head sculpt. The figure's trailer can also be towed by any other figure with a compatible hitch.

:He is the first non-''Masterpiece'' ''Generations'' G1 Optimus Prime figure to include a removable [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory, which is stored in his chest in the 'Evolved' form, and the center of his Matrix of Leadership can be replaced with any [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]]. His [[ion blaster]] can be split into two weapons for Orion Pax to use, while also stored on Optimus Prime's back via visible [[5 mm post]]s of Orion Pax's hands, though this is undocumented in the instructions.

:Depending on the individual copy, Optimus Prime is prone to having a number of quality control issues: ranging from two left/right arms and/or legs/feet on the evolution armor, to lacking stickers on the trailer pieces. The Takara version of the mold lacks the production numbers located at his right shins, though, as with all ''Power of the Primes'' Takara figures, it is otherwise identical to its international version, meaning that the aforementioned quality control issues still persist in this release.

:Though designated for a first quarter 2018 release, Optimus's wave reached U.S. store shelves in December 2017. This toy was reissued in 2022 for select markets and reran again for [[Target]] stores and [[Hasbro Pulse]] in 2024.

{{toydesigner|[[Aaron Gray]] (Hasbro), [[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[AJ Piejko-Brown]] (packaging)}}

:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime transforms from robot to Cybertronian armored truck cab and back. He includes two weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]—the "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield," which is an axe that transforms into a shield, and the "W-M3 RF [[Ion blaster|Ion Blaster]]." Both weapons can combine to form the "Sentrystrike Ultra-Blaster." Optimus Prime also features "battle damage" paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:In vehicle mode, opening the figure's windows shows the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Matrix of Leadership]] molded into the plastic behind the windows. Due to the transformation, the Matrix doesn't end up in the chest in robot mode. Despite being a Voyager-scale figure, the truck mode is considerably small, in scale with a Legends-sized figure. Whether through coincidence or design, it's possible to fit a ''Power of the Primes'' Matrix core (and by extension, a [[Prime Master]] or [[Titan Master]]) in his chest.

:An additional, undocumented but confirmed third "hover truck" mode exists, which is achieved by folding all of his wheels under his vehicle mode. While the back wheels don't lock in anywhere, the two front wheels actually have small tabs that plug into slots on the back of the wheel sections that aren't used for either of his other modes.<ref>[http://www.toyboxsoapbox.com/2018/11/13/transformers-siege-voyager-optimus-prime-review/ "At some convention somewhere one Hasbro rep let slip that Siege Optimus Prime also had a hidden hover truck mode."] on Toybox Soapbox</ref>

:There is a message written in [[Cybertronian language|Cybertronian letters]] on Optimus Prime's box art, which reads "LIGHT THE DARKEST HOUR."

:This mold was later redecoed into [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Nemesis Prime]], and a handful of parts were reused for the [[#Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime]] figure released in 2020, including the shins, as such, the trailer packaged with the ''Earthrise'' figure is fully compatible with the ''Siege'' figure's truck mode.

:Depending on the figure's individual quality control, the truck's roof may not sit securely flush in vehicle mode, notably on the rear right side.

:While Hasbro and TakaraTomy's releases of the toy are almost identical, the battle damage paint apps on the latter's shoulders and legs are slightly altered in size.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=シージのオプティマス。右が海外版、左が日本版で後ろが海外前が日本版。汚れのタンポ印刷も違うバリエーションなのかねぇ(´･ω･`) #TFTOYの面白さを伝え隊 https://t.co/g3lMOROVdO|link=https://twitter.com/Alfes2010/status/1099375629361795072|name=Alfes2010|site=Twitter|year=2019|month=02|day=23|(defunct=)}}</ref>

:Part of the second wave ''Siege'' Leader Class figures, "Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime" is an extensive retool of the same line's [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ultra Magnus]], taking heavy design cues from [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime]] (the Japanese series name being "''Galaxy Force''," which is referenced in the name). He transforms into a heavily armed fire truck like the ''Cybertron'' figure, but with a Cybertronian aesthetic. The two "W-30 Magnetic Inducer Launchers" are unpainted blasters from ''Siege'' Ultra Magnus, and as such, mirror the detailing placed just behind ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]]'s cab. Their hexagonal tips resembling ''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime's Super Mode leg cannons were likely a foresight for this retooling, but are molded in black rather than grey likely due to [[gang-molding]]. Optimus Prime also features "battle damage" paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:The core figure's robot mode is inspired by Prime's Generation 1 look, but with [[Kibble|vehicle mode details]] and coloration (including yellow eyes) based on the cab of his ''Cybertron'' counterpart. As with the original ''Cybertron'' figure, the barrel of the truck's left cannon can be detached and wielded by Prime as a rifle called the "JF-15 Gravity Force Laser." The sides of the bumper in truck mode can detach and form arm cannons based on his ''Cybertron'' counterpart's forearms. All five weapons are compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Because of the nature of the mold, additional shoulder pads [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|resembling halves of his truck cab]] were included to complete the Super Mode's resemblance to the template. The vehicle mode's cannons can be underslung and handheld similarly to the ''Cybertron'' figure thanks to the sliding pegs, but lack the original's gimmicks. Unlike Ultra Magnus, Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime also features flip-out support struts on the leg armor to compensate for the back's weight. While they're hardly needed since the armor's bulk is heavy enough to support the weight, the pieces also prevent the leg armor from standing flat when folded in.

:Unlike the above Voyager Class figure, this Prime is fully compatible with the [[Magnus Armor]], as is Ultra Magnus with Optimus's Super Mode gear. Also, whether intentional or not, the figure scales almost perfectly with other figures from the original Cybertron line.

:The box art of his vehicle modes is [[Stock photography#Problems with stock photos|mistransformed]] as a result of using CGI renders; the two shoulder pieces are shown being left on, which is genuinely impossible and in fact appear to be clipped through each other. They are instead stored inside the leg armor, which forms the back end of the trailer. Strangely, the clear blue plastic used for the cab has light bars molded in, but they are painted over in red. Presumably, this is to make the inner robot appear more like G1 Optimus but results in a less accurate vehicle mode compared to the ''Cybertron'' design. Additionally, there are existing stock photos of the figure without the wingpack and the smaller robot head flipped out.

:Specially branded for the 35th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand, ''Siege'' "Classic Animation Optimus Prime" is a redeco of the Voyager Class figure above, featuring a cel-shaded paint pattern that evokes his appearance in the cartoon (though the physical result is more like that of [[Transformers: Devastation|''Devastation'']]).

:Optimus Prime is now decoed in white, dark gray and red, with a Ghostbusters "no ghosts" logo on his right shoulder in addition to the Autobot logo on his left. The trailer is decoed similarly, with Ecto-1 style details adorning the sides, as well as green ghost splatter. Optimus's vehicle mode bumper includes an "ECTO-35" plate, which can be seen through his chest in robot mode, referencing the 35th Anniversary of both the ''Transformers'' and ''Ghostbusters'' franchises.

:He includes all his accessories, aside from [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] and his axe, gaining a number of additional ones consistent with the theme. The trailer opens out into the "Ecto-Base," or can be stood upright as the "Ecto Maintenance Dock." A snap-on cover can be applied to Roller to turn him into a ghost trap, a painted opaque version of the [[Slimer]] figure included with Ectotron, and a "roof-rack accessory" using the same mold as [[Ectotron]]'s that pegs into the roof of the trailer. This final item converts into a proton pack for robot mode, pegging into the hole in his back, and a hose connects his ion blaster to the proton pack to serve as a particle thrower. In addition, the figure's packaging is shaped like a proton pack, complete with clips to enable the buyer to strap it to their back.

:Ectotron can ''sort of'' fit into Prime's trailer, but this requires the former's equipment rack to be removed from the roof, and clearance within the trailer prevents the trailer's rear tailgate from closing.

:Ecto-35 Edition Optimus Prime debuted as an exclusive at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] in 2019, with additional availability at Fan Expo Canada and the [[Hasbro Pulse]] online store.

He includes the ion cannon, Matrix, and [[#Earthrise|''Earthrise'' trailer]] of the Holiday release, naturally done up in more orthodox livery. Caution for those attempting to use the Centurion Drone Ion blaster and Energon Axe accessories, the peg handles are NOT compatible owing to their wider diameter and none poseable fist of the mold.

:Depending on how you pose the figure, the mold tends to be front "heavy" when posed at your standard "stand up straight" form without any dynamic spread the legs style. This is due to how the front feet cannot be extended forward due to a single hinge attaching the joint to the inner "truck cab" being static. This concentrates the center of gravity way behind, parallel to what forms the cab's windshield when it should be adjacent to what makes the cab's front wheels.

: This figure was made available exclusively at [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the United States, and was available at general retail in Hasbro's Asian markets- which stocked the figure months before it was officially acknowledged by Hasbro themselves.

:The Matrix of Leadership is now replaced with the "Silver Matrix" that is a singular piece of plastic dipped in chrome. As such, it does not accommodate Prime Masters/Matrices/Enigmas. The Matrix can be held by 5 mm fist holes and can combine with the guns to form a "Big Bang Cannon". Unlike the original versions of the mold, Star Convoy's stickers, intended to be applied to his trailer, come on a sheet instead of being factory-applied.

:The star-shaped piece that clips into Star Convoy's chest is new to this version of the mold. Because it pegs into a small hole between the tops of the doors to Star Convoy's chest compartment, it introduces an additional step to access the matrix chamber. The red connector which attaches the star to the figure is misassembled, and flipped from its proper orientation. Due to this, the star is prone to not attaching securely to the chest and can easily pop out without much effort. A fix<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/generations-selects-star-convoy-super-megatron-snaptrap-figures.1172403/page-113#post-17312785 Guide to rearranging the chest star for improved stability] in the TFW2005 thread for ''Selects'' Star Convoy</ref> utilized by some to address the issue involves popping out the star and connector, then flipping the connector around, before reattaching both parts to the figure. Care should be taken when handling the star and transforming Star Convoy to ensure it does not bump against other parts of the figure or experience undue stress. The stem of the star is particularly fragile and has been known to break without much force being applied to it.

:Reminiscent of the fact that the original [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|''Return of Convoy'' Star Convoy]] figure could transform into a battle station, a "Z Base Mode" resembling that original battle station mode was created for the character and introduced in the ''Selects'' [[Super Megatron comic 1|Special Comic promoting Super Megatron]]. This figure (and any of the ''Power of the Primes'' Evolution Optimus Prime molds) is capable of being configured into this form. In reference to the fact that the original Star Convoy figure included a [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Micromaster version of Hot Rod]] to man the battle station, one can populate the Z Base Mode with the [[Firebolt (G1)#Titans Return|Firedrive]] or Rodimus Prime Titan Masters from [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Hot Rod's ''Titans Return'' figure]] and the "Chaos on Velocitron" box set respectively. As said Hot Rod Micromaster could also store in the original Star Convoy figure's chest, one can also re-enact this functionality by taking a Matrix frame from a ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Leader Class figure and placing one of the aforementioned Titan Masters in it, then inserting the frame into Star Convoy's chest.

:This toy was released exclusively through [[TakaraTomy Mall]] and, thanks to brand unification, [[Hasbro Pulse]] and other online retailers in the United States and Canada. It is the first ''Selects'' figure to be developed by TakaraTomy.

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

:Released in the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Leader Class toys, Optimus Prime is an ''extensive'' retooling of the [[#Siege|''Siege'' Optimus mold]], now transforming into his classic cab-over Earth-truck mode. Interestingly, his rear wheels are borrowed from ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS32|32]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS44|44 Optimus Prime]], and even has molded drilled-rotor brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure. While the vestigial knee flaps were meant to be flipped out while transforming him into truck mode, the flaps' pegs and the elbow's rectangular holes have a slight occupying-the-same-space issue, which can result in the cab noticeably tilting frontward. If this problem persists, the flaps can be untransformed to straighten the cab properly.

: His very cartoon-like robot mode has an opening chest compartment containing a removable [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory; in an undocumented feature, the Matrix can accommodate "Fire Blast" effect parts and attach to similarly-sized posts. His new Ion Blaster rifle, now in its classic shape, is hinged to fold away the barrel for storage. His hands feature hinge joints in the knuckles, allowing for more expressive posing and proper holding of the included Matrix, with the grip coming from a [[5 mm post|5 mm semi-circle]] formed by the palm and thumb. As the front grill/wheel piece is connected with a c-clip, removing it from his back allows the waist to turn without being hindered.

: For the first time for a (non-''Masterpiece'') ''Generations'' Optimus toy, this release comes with a trailer (sadly too small to store any concurrent car-mode toy larger than the [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Cliffjumper]] mold when closed up) that converts into a combat deck/repair bay complete with an "artillery robot". The trailer's inner walls are loaded with 5 mm post-holes for accessory storage. The main ramp is [[A.I.R. Lock System]] compatible, and its inner section is removable so it can be used as a shield, leaving a U-shaped partial ramp so any cars on the main deck can still roll out. The trailer's artillery robot has two 5 mm post-holes up front for Fire Blast effects or other accessories, and now features ''two'' claw-arms, sadly the gaps in the claws are not 5 mm compatible. The robot can be removed from the trailer at its base and attached to other toys as a giant accessory, notably a "jetpack". (Coincidentally, the trailer's hitch post is at exactly the right height to let it rest inside the 5mm hole on [[Roller (G1)#Generations|''Thrilling 30'' Roller]].)

: This figure can be augmented with the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' "[[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]]", which includes a non-converting long-barreled Ion Blaster, his expected Energon Axe, and [[Roller (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Roller]]. The Energon Axe is specifically molded to fit onto Optimus's ''right'' hand, with the peg sliding into the underside of the fist. Although it ''can'' fit on his left hand if slid through the top, this puts noticeable stress on the axe's peg due to the thumb sliding up against the housing. The set also comes with [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Sideswipe]]'s jetpack, and while it is ''mainly'' designed for Sideswipe it can, of course, be used by Optimus, though due to a section of Optimus' back being marginally wider than the space available, some force may be required to attach the jetpack fully. Whether by coincidence or not, the Energon Strikeshield from the ''Siege'' figure can attach to his forearms if the hands are tucked away, via the tabs on its hinged handle.

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

[[File:TF-WFC-ER-Prime-Comparison.jpg|300px|thumb|[[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|Dodged another shot!]] (''Stock image comparison'')]]
:Confusingly, the figure had ''many'' color differences in different official promotional images. The original 3D renders depicted his colors completely show-accurate to the G1 cartoon (minus the blue codpiece, and with quite rare toy-accurate yellow eyes), the lack of striping on the forearms/side doors, and a fully blue artillery robot for the trailer, while the pre-release prototype seen in New York Comic Con 2019 and the secondary stock photos had his hands and elbows molded in grey, with artillery robot being cast in grey and silver plastic similar to the rest of the trailer. According to [[John Warden]], this was due to the limitations of the mold. Even later, Takara's stock photos showed the figure with blue elbows and a blue and silver artillery robot. The retail release of the figure ultimately, for the most part, went with colors showcased in Hasbro's physical toy stock photos, but with previously yellow eyes now more cartoon-accurate blue, and with his hands, codpiece, and the back piece of his head painted in metallic blue. Early renders also displayed the figure's inner shins as being molded in the same blue color as the rest of the legs, although the final figure presents them cast in gray and unpainted. The sample on the TakaraTomy stock photos also depict his trailer hitch as a single piece.

The issue with the painted blue hands is that if you keep attaching and removing any weapon, it will scrape the blue paint and its remains will get caught on the handle of the weapon.

The legs have been shown to break on several copies due to the thin plastic quality on the early releases in 2020. This issue was fixed with a pin the added on the reissue release in 2024.

: Optimus Prime first saw release in Bangkok before its actual release date in March. Optimus also saw release with a retailer incentive gift box, coming with an additional large poster promoting the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''Earthrise'' cartoon]] with various signatures from the showrunners and the characters, including [[Jake Foushee|Jake Tillman]], Prime's voice actor, and a die-cast logo pin.

: The Optimus Prime robot mold was also used to make ''War for Cybertron Trilogy Selects'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Shattered Glass Optimus Prime]]. The trailer, including its artillery robot and shield/ramp, was redecoed for the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Nemesis Prime's]] Spoiler Pack and [[#Holiday|Holiday Optimus Prime]] (see below). The Matrix accessory was reused or repainted extensively for other contemporary Matrix-bearers, such as ''Kingdom'' Rodimus Prime, ''Kingdom'' Galvatron, and ''Studio Series'' Hot Rod.

: Optimus Prime was reissued in mid-2024 with pre-orders listed on April of that year.

:"Alternate Universe Optimus Prime" is a grayscale redeco of the figure above with a new head that evokes the battle damage and his death in ''The Transformers: The Movie''. The Matrix of Leadership is the same as the mass retail Leader, though the Ion Blaster is painted completely silver and his rear calves are painted. Another change is the number of lugnuts on the wheels of the trailer. The normal retail version has 10 lug nuts per wheel, while this release has none. He is packaged in a ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]''-styled box that depicts Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] grieving during his death scene reflected on a window of his damaged truck mode.
:There are reported issues where the left chest piece is unable to tab in fully due to a deformed pin, leaving a small uneven gap visible in robot mode.

:This is the only ''Earthrise'' toy to lack an ID number and map piece and isn't part of the Galactic Odyssey Collection. Coincidentally, Hasbro ID number WFC-E28 is never used in the toyline within its range of E1 to E41, lending to the possibility that WFC-E28 was intended to be his.

:Before the figure was officially revealed, a single known specimen of the ''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime erroneously used the redeco's alternate head.<ref>https://tformers.com/earthrise-leader-optimus-prime-error-with-alternate-universe-head/37627/news.html</ref>

:Alternate Universe Optimus Prime was supposed to be released as an exclusive for Amazon Prime Day 2020, though the day was pushed back several months, making the toy release much earlier. The figure first saw release in some Malaysian hobby shops ''before'' it was fully revealed on Hasbro's June 26 [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]] stream. The figure was later released in Japan as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive as part of the 7th wave of TakaraTomy ''Selects'' toys.

:Promoting the ''Earthrise'' chapter of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]], this version of Optimus Prime is a trailer-less redeco of the ''Earthrise'' Leader Class mold in darker colors more reminiscent of his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|G1 figure]]. He comes with Battle Masters Enerax and Sheeldron, translucent yellow redecoes of ''Siege'' [[Pteraxadon#Toys|Pteraxadon]] and ''Earthrise'' [[Soundbarrier#Toys|Soundbarrier]] respectively, without the effects parts. In terms of deco, Optimus's blue plastic/paint operations and the unpaintable gray joints are replaced with the same darker shade of blue (which also coincidentally resembles the erroneous deco used for most of TakaraTomy's stock photos of the mold), additional blue paint has been added to his legs, the molded detail in the center of his pelvis is painted yellow, the interiors of his opening chest windows are unpainted, the translucent plastic is tinted green, and the eyes are a non-metallic light blue.

:The stock renders for both the robot and vehicle modes are inconsistent with the later stock photos: They reuse his deco from the ''Earthrise'' renders, but with blue eyes, green windows, and battle-damage paint apps that are absent on the final toy. The forearms are depicted as stripeless in robot mode, while the rear hip piece and the thighs are differently colored in the truck mode render.

:While Optimus Prime never appears in his ''Earthrise'' body in the cartoon, he was initially planned to for the ''Earthrise'' and ''Kingdom'' chapters, the idea from which this toy is based. A cartoon CGI render of this ''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime can be seen in the ''[[The Art and Making of Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.

:As with other ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' figures, Optimus Prime was exclusive to Walmart in Canada and the United States.

{{note|This figure of [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Nemesis Prime]] also represents a "much darker future" of Optimus Prime in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]] cartoon.}}

:Promoting the ''Earthrise'' chapter of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]], this ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Leader Unboxing set contains a redeco of ''Siege'' Voyager Class [[#Siege|Optimus Prime]] as Nemesis Prime. The figure comes with ''Siege'' Optimus's "W-M3 RF Ion Blaster" (but not his "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield") plus a sizeable number of extras that beef up the price. These include: a redecoed trailer from ''Earthrise'' [[#Earthrise|Optimus Prime]]; the Dark Saber, [[Giza (POTP)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Giza]], and large forearm blaster accessories, all from the [[#Power_of_the_Primes|''Power of the Primes'' Evolution Leader Class toy]]; [[Fangtron#Toys|Fangtron]], a [[redeco]] of ''Earthrise'' Battle Master [[Slitherfang#Toys|Slitherfang]], along with their blast effect part; and a compound through which a buyer can dig to reveal energon cubes, rereleased from ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Ultra Magnus's]] Spoiler Pack. Fangtron and the shield/Combat Deck ramp are both compatible with the [[A.I.R. Lock System]], as the former can turn into a ramp or a shield for Nemesis Prime. This toy also features a different deco compared to the TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. Namely, he is in fact molded in very dark gray plastic as opposed to the deep black of the Takara version, and the vehicle stripes, bumper guns, and wheel rims are silver instead of teal.

:The Hasbro stock photography for the truck mode is also ''laughably'' mistransformed, with the robot mode crotch being plainly visible, an error that actually requires a considerable amount of effort to replicate with the actual toy. In addition, neither the truck windows nor panels that cover the robot mode hands are compressed fully.

:Much like previous Spoiler Pack, this set is in a windowless box designed to look like an ammo crate and features translatable [[Cybertronian language|Ancient Autobot]]. The text on the package reads "FANGTRON" and "GIZA", while the 'spoiler' text inside features a Decepticon-themed quote: "YOU MUST STAY TRUE / TO WHOM THE MATRIX HAS / CHOSEN, FOR IF YOU / DON’T, A MUCH / DARKER FUTURE AWAITS" and an Autobot-themed one: "THE DEAD UNIVERSE IS / UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU’VE / EXPERIENCED, PRIME", which are both quotes from [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] in [[Earthrise episode 5]]. The lateral side of the package also features artwork of Nemesis Prime, edited from art of ''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime. Compared to the previous Spoiler Pack, the packaging itself has no plastic insert.

:This set was a shared exclusive between online retailers and [[Walmart]] in Canada and the USA. In New Zealand, the set was sold exclusively at Toy World and Mighty Ape. Like the previous Spoiler Pack, the TakaraTomy release is packaged in a standard windowed box.

:Part of the first wave of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Core Class toys, Optimus Prime is a smaller, roughly Legends-sized mold that according to his product copy and stock images is meant to be posed with larger toys of the same character, but we would be stupid not to note that he is also a good size to interact with Titan Class figures. His transformation shares engineering with the [[#Thrilling 30|''Thrilling 30'' Legends figure]], but with sculpted detailing directly based on the ''Earthrise'' mold, down to details like the ''vestigial knee flaps'' from the ''Siege'' mold. The included Ion Blaster features a 3 mm handle under a 5 mm post, dedicated to the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. He is also fairly articulated for a figure this small, having head rotation and tilting, torso rotation (which looks a bit unnatural), ab crunch, butterfly joints at the shoulders, and ball joints in shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.

:Unlike the actual product, the truck door section of the wrist/hand part is unpainted in the CG stock render. Curiously, his instructions depict an Energon axe that was notably left out of the final release and was not shown in stock photos.

:The red paint on the flip-out arms will chip off over time due to repeated transformations caused by the snap-on connection that holds them in place in robot mode.

:In Japan, Optimus Prime was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive. This mold was later redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Evolution .282023.29|Legacy: Evolution]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Legacy|Nemesis Prime]], while utilizing the unused Energon Axe.

{{toydesigner|[[Lenny Panzica]] (Hasbro)|[[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist), [[AJ Piejko-Brown]] (packaging)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Leader Class toys, "Laser Optimus Prime" is an updated version of his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#LaserOptimusPrime|''Generation 2'' design]] which transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, with deco and sculpt details most directly based on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#G2reissue|2006 "Battle Convoy" reissue's modified deco and stickers]] with a flame deco on the front from his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#RTSDeluxe|2010 Deluxe Class figure]]. He includes an Energon sword, an Energon axe, a new removable Matrix of Leadership (notable NOT the same mold shared by other figures of the same time) which echoes the sticker details of the 2006 reissue, and a trailer that can transform into a battle station (tanker deco of Optimus burning down a forest not included, sadly) with a small detachable double-barreled cannon. The axe and sword can be stored either inside the trailer or on the cab, with the sword stored underneath the rear section of the cab like the original and the axe slotting in over the trailer hitch. In tanker mode, the trailer's claw arm can be folded to act as a jack to allow it to stand freely. His signature shoulder pylons can open outwards to reveal missile pods. He has restricted arm movement as the shoulder pylons do not rotate, while the real arms start beneath the flap.

: Not mentioned in his instructions, the sword and axe can combine into a larger sword. His Matrix can be attached to the axe or the combined sword, using the rectangular peg near the axe's haft (normally meant to keep the handle folded neatly for storage). The chest slot where the Matrix plugs in is open in the back, seemingly meant to allow for [[light-piping]] in robot mode. His eyes feature neutered light-piping due to the back of his head being painted over, but the eyes are left unpainted.

:As the sword accessory is designed for this mold's open hands, it cannot be wielded by other figures with closed 5mm hands due to the protruding tab on the handle.

: Most of Laser Optimus Prime's lower body, including his hips, thighs, the front of his lower legs (except for the shin vents), and feet, reuse elements from the [[#Earthrise|''Earthrise'' toy]] above whereas other details like his crotch, shins, back of the lower legs, tires, and the entirety of his upper body are brand-new. Like the ''Earthrise'' toy, the shins have the ''Siege'' figure's trailer hitch on the outside. Laser Optimus' trailer can be attached to ''Earthrise'' Optimus, as well as ''Siege'' Optimus, ''Kingdom'' Huffer, and ''Kingdom'' Pipes. This figure is also similarly compatible with the trailer included with ''Earthrise'' Optimus.

: The original release's [[Hasbro Pulse]] listing labeled him as "G2 Universe Laser Optimus Prime", while the packaging itself merely labeled him as "Laser Optimus Prime". The subsequent [[package refresh]] in the ''Legacy: United'' subline added the "G2 Universe" label on the box. Despite his origins, Optimus has no G2 faction symbols, only a silver G1 Autobot insignia on his left cab door.

: This figure was also redecoed into ''Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection'' "[[Scourge (RID)#Legacy|Robots In Disguise 2000 Universe Scourge]]" and ''Toxitron Collection'' "[[Toxitron (Universe)#Legacy|G2 Universe Toxitron]]", as well as [[#Target|Target Optimus Prime]] and ''[[Synergenex]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Synergenex|Optimus Prime Type MFS-3 Kiryu]]. The sword, axe, and Matrix were redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Ultra Magnus]]'s [[Terminus Blade]].

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Core Class toys, Optimus Prime is a [[package refresh]] of the previous [[#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' Core Class figure]]. Aside from the packaging, the Ion Blaster's 3mm peg on the handle and the tab for the side truck windows are left unpainted.

: Optimus Prime was spotted at a [[Toys"R"Us]] in [[Taiwan]] in mid-[[June]] 2022 before any official announcement from Hasbro.

: He saw ''another'' package refresh as part of the fourth Core Class Wave for ''Legacy: Evolution''.

: A fairly extensive retool of ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Kup]] with a new cartoon-accurate head, chest, and legs, transforming into a Cybertronian pickup truck... and is a clear homage to the [[e-HOBBY]]-exclusive [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Collector's Edition|release from 2005]]. Pax has a red pistol and an [[Energon goodie]] dispenser, both also reused from ''Studio Series'' Kup.

: Orion Pax retains Kup's removable arm and leg feature, compatible with any 5mm port or post. Additionally—whether or not it was intentional— Orion Pax's shoulders and hips are inverted straight out of the box, differentiating the overall design from Kup. If one doesn't like them this way, a simple twist of the joints will put them back into the orientation they are on Kup.

: Unfortunately, Orion Pax suffers from the same design issue as the mold's original release. The painted robot mode crotch area that is part of the vehicle mode undercarriage does not fold up far enough to prevent dragging and paint damage, thus care should be taken when the figure is transformed.

: This figure is a part of a [[Hasbro Pulse]]-exclusive 2-pack; also including [[Alpha Trion (G1)#Legacy|Alpha Trion]] with [[Vector Sigma#Legacy|Vector Sigma]] and [[Key to Vector Sigma#Legacy|its Key]]. The set was put up for pre-order during [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2022|Pulse Con 2022]], and began appearing in Hong Kong stores shortly afterwards.

: [[Taiwan]]ese fans who supported the [[Hasbro Pulse#HasLab|HasLab]] [[Star Saber (G1)#Legacy|Victory Saber]] project ended up getting the "A Hero Is Born" set instead (along with a full refund) after their Victory Sabers were severely water damaged during shipment and could not be delivered. No, this set is nowhere near as cool. Sorry?

:This mold was further retooled to make the "War Dawn 2-Pack" [[Dion (G1)#Legacy|Dion]] figure.

: Part of the "Pre-Cybertronian War" line, "Data Clerk Orion Pax" is a retool of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Hound (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Hound]], transforming into a Cybertronian armored off-road vehicle in 15 steps. He retains Hound's blaster with clip-on ammo drum and also includes a new two-piece axe based on that of the [[#T30Deluxe|''Thrilling 30'' Deluxe figure]], both 5 mm compatible. The weapons can be mounted on any of his numerous 5 mm ports for storage, including his back and vehicle mode roof. His newly-molded chest is based on his appearance in "[[Chaos Theory Part 1|Chaos Theory]]", while his new head, legs, and windshield are based on [[Guido Guidi]]'s design<ref>{{cite social|quote="young" Optimus Prime concept sketch (that later would become inspiration for Generations Orion Pax toy)...|link=https://twitter.com/Guido_Guidi/status/536828436627869696|name=Guido Guidi|site=Twitter|year=2014|month=11|day=24}}</ref> from "[[Spotlight: Blurr]]".

The set was revealed and went up for pre-order on the [[May 16]] [[Hasbro Pulse]] Fanstream alongside the "Rise of Tyranny" 2-pack.

: A Hasbro Pulse exclusive, this Optimus Prime is a cartoon-accurate redeco of the above ''Kingdom'' Core Class figure. His plastic colors are generally brighter, with the grey unpaintable areas in particular now cast in pearlescent white. He also features some differences in paint applications, including no silver on the legs, no stripe on the vehicle mode cab, yellow highlights on his waist flaps, and a gray background for his eyes, all of which serve to make him more show-accurate. He now comes with his famous [[Combat Deck (G1)#Legacy|trailer]] in Core Class scale (which can be hitched with an extension panel that doubles as a shield), which includes a tiny Roller (also able to tow the trailer!) and repair drone. The trailer was noted by its designer [[Evan Brooks]] to be proportionally large and is scaled to be able to fit the pack-in partner [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Legacy|Bumblebee]], though it's not quite long enough to fit the repair drone, Roller, and Bumblebee all at once. The set also includes both the Ion Blaster and Energon Axe accessories from the previous versions of the mold.

: He was revealed and put up for pre-order on the [[June 20]] [[Hasbro Pulse]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjLY0uamTKM Fanstream]. The set is also sold as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive.

: Part of the fourth Wave of ''Legacy: United'' Deluxes, "G1 Optimus Prime" is an unusual ''Generations'' release in that it is focused entirely on reproducing the aesthetic of his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|original Generation 1 toy]], not unlike TakaraTomy's higher end ''[[Missing Link]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Missing Link|Convoy]] produced around the same time. The chief differences between this and ''Missing Link'' are that the ''Legacy: United'' toy is smaller than the G1 figure and lacks [[die-cast]] metal and [[vacuum metallizing|chrome]]. While not as articulated overall, this Deluxe does have better range at his waist and neck. His forearms, shins, and feet feature detailing based on the sticker placement of his original G1 toy, albeit unpainted. However, like ''Legacy: Evolution'' [[Beachcomber (G1)#Legacy|Beachcomber]], he ''does'' feature "PVC rubber" {{sic}} tires on all six wheels - the first mainline Optimus toy to have soft tires in a [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys|very long time]]. His tires read "CYBERTRON RADIAL 275/80 R22",<ref>The "275/80 R22" notation on the tires means the tire is 275mm thick, the height is 80% of the thickness, has radial construction, and fits a 22 inch rim</ref> referencing the fictional "[[Cybertronian Radial]]" brand used by ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]''.

: He is designed to be able to pull not only current trailers such as that of his [[#Earthrise|''Earthrise'' toy]], but also the original G1 trailer. Due to his smaller size, the ''Earthrise'' trailer is almost perfectly proportioned to him while the original G1 trailer is almost comically huge.

: Optimus has a translucent blue Matrix of Leadership which he cannot hold but can store in his chest, modelled after the 2002 [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#The Transformers|New Year's Special version]]. He comes equipped with two versions of his ion blaster - a larger one modeled after the original G1 toy release and another, thinner version representing the running change variant of the G1 toy blaster. He also comes with an orange energy axe based on the one included with the [[The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Convoy]]. The smokestacks can be used as handheld weapons as well, but barely able to fit into his hands due to the height of his forearms. They are too large to safely be used with [[Fire Blast effect|blast effects]], potentially damaging the effects as they need to be stretched out to fit. All three weapons can store on his truck bed. His axe has nowhere to store in robot mode, and he only has one port on his back to store one of the blasters (unless you use the ones on his calves, but that looks a little silly).

: Both of his blasters are cast in clear plastic and then painted over in glossy black paint. As a result, they tend to have an extremely tight fit to the point that some 5mm ports simply will not hold them. The ports on Prime's legs are similarly looser then normal, able to hold these two guns securely but are loose with basically any other 5mm accessory. Due to his fists being looser than normal to accommodate the blasters, the axe sits ''very'' loosely in Prime's fists and may not even plug in securely at all. The also is some variance in the amount of florescent yellow paint over his eyes, with many copies having it thick enough to neuter his [[light-piping]]. It is unknown if his PVC rubber tires also have the same paint-adhering issue as Beachcomber's tires.

: Teased during the [[May 14]], [[2024]] fanstream as a passion project for Maher, he was later officially revealed on the designer's Instagram page on [[June 12]] later that year, with pre-orders going up on [[June 13]].

:"Security Officer Orion Pax" is an extensive retool of ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Studio Series|Gamer Edition Optimus Prime]] based on his appearance in "[[Chaos Theory Part 1|Chaos Theory]]" and the pre-war portions of ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'', transforming into a Cybertronian truck. Compared to Gamer Optimus, Pax has a new head, chest, shoulders, forearms, shins, and feet, the latter of which gives him some extra height so he can properly look his Decepticon counterpart in the eye. Most of his vehicle mode parts have also seen some notable retooling, resulting in a much more boxy truck mode; the new feet also unfold to to cover up the former gap in the rear.

:His right forearm retains the Gamer Edition figure's ability to be disconnected, revealing a [[5 mm post]], which allows any ''Gamer Edition'' figure's blaster to be attached in its place. Despite this, Pax's own ion blaster has a new part attached to it with a screw so it can be held normally, sacrificing the ability for it to be attached to his arm. However, this functionality can be restored by simply removing the screw and detaching the new part.<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/potential-sdcc-fractured-friendship-2-pack.1264588/page-66#post-22597549 Post detailing how to remove the new part on Orion Pax's ion blaster] in the TFW2005 thread for the Fractured Friendship 2-Pack</ref> This version of the mold fixes the swapped wheel misassembly of the original tooling.

:In addition to the ion blaster, Pax comes with the same Matrix of Leadership accessory as Gamer Edition Optimus (which plugs into his chest cavity via a 5mm connection) and two new forearm-mounted cannons, which peg onto his sides in truck mode.

:Security Officer Orion Pax was included in the "Fractured Friendship" 2-pack alongside the similarly IDW-inspired [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#FracturedFriendship|Gladiator Megatron]].

:A surprise reveal at [[MCM Comic-Con London 2022]], "Holiday Optimus Prime" converts in 37 steps from a licensed {{w|Volvo VN|Volvo VNR 300}}–known throughout the United States as an "[[Amazon (website)|Amazon Prime]] truck"–into a very [[Hero (G2)|Combat Hero]]-styled Optimus Prime with a decidedly [[Santa Claus]]ish color layout, in predominantly red deco with white trim and big black boots. The truck mode is decoed so as to represent snow kicking up over the fenders and falling down onto the roof of his trailer. Said trailer is a redeco of the one included with [[#Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime]] in white with red stripes and features a [[tampograph]]ed Autobot [[insignia]] wearing a Santa hat. It also has a new trailer-hitch add-on part with a much further-back hitch-peg, so the trailer connects in the proper place to Optimus's new truck mode; this part is removable so you can use the trailer with the originally-compatible ''Earthrise'' toys. In terms of accessories, Prime comes with a redeco of the ''Earthrise'' toy's ion blaster in festive candy cane striping, as well as a "Matrix of Holiday Cheer" to store behind his translucent green [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|chest windows]].

:Prime's box is designed to look as though it has been pre-packaged in Autobot insignia/snowflake wrapping paper and partially ripped open to reveal the toy inside, even including a printed-on to/from gift tag!

:The official [[stock photography]] leaves two flaps on Prime's chest mistransformed; they should fold in to give him [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|his iconic grille detail]].

:The figure was made available for sale exclusively at [[Hasbro Pulse]] on November 1, 2022, and shipped in early December 2022.

:...Speaking of the "Amazon Prime" trucks, Holiday Optimus Prime appears to have been repurposed from a long-planned but ultimately [[unreleased toy|never released]] ''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' figure which was listed on the Australian version of the website as early as April 2021,<ref name="amazon1">[https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/04/07/new-amazon-australia-transformers-listings-shattered-glass-and-golden-disk-figures-project-bat-and-more-431028 Earliest reported Amazon Australia listing for "Amazon Optimus Prime"] at TFW2005, April 2021.</ref> with a detailed product description following in June of that same year,<ref name="amazon2">[https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/06/28/transformers-collaborative-transformers-amazon-prime-mash-up-official-description-436399 Product description for "Amazon Optimus Prime"] at TFW2005, June 2021.</ref> as well as listings on other international versions of the Amazon website such as Amazon Germany.<ref name="amazon3">[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/product-description-for-amazon-x-transformers-optimus-prime.1216185/page-11#post-19284981 Earliest documented Amazon Germany listing for "Amazon Optimus Prime"] at TFW2005, June 2021.</ref> The Amazon Australia listing was later rediscovered in July 2022,<ref name="amazon4">[https://tformers.com/leaked-transformers-x-amazon-prime-collaborative-optimus-prime-delivery-truck-listing/46484/news.html Amazon Australia listing for "Amazon Optimus Prime"] reported by TFormers, July 2022.</ref> but photos still remained a no-show. Like Holiday Optimus Prime, the Amazon mashup was also specified to turn into a licensed Volvo truck in 37 steps. All signs point to the Volvo Optimus Prime mold being repurposed as an affiliate of a less corporate–and more public domain–gift distributor... not to mention as a release less likely to annoy other [[Walmart|major]] [[Target|retailers]] of Hasbro toys.

More specifically, the design is based on [[Herb Trimpe]]'s artwork from [[Brainstorm!|issues eleven]] and [[Prime Time!|twelve]].

It can be a snug fit, though, so take a little care when installing.

:Released for the brand's 40th anniversary, ''[[Studio Series]]'' '86 Optimus Prime transforms into a semi-truck in 40 steps. This version is even ''more'' cartoon-accurate than the last several iterations, based directly on his appearance in <s>the entire cartoon</s> ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. However, he still directly takes some design elements from ''[[Masterpiece]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]], including his headsculpt, gray torso stripe and detailing, thighs, and feet. He features a wide array of articulation points comparable to '86 [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Ultra Magnus]], including articulated hands with individual index fingers, rotatable "antenna ears", and butterfly shoulder joints, the latter of which lets him open up his chest compartment and deliver the haymaker that defeated Megatron in the movie. Said chest compartment contains another ''Earthrise''-style Matrix of Leadership and features a front cover flap. Like Magnus, the Matrix can only be held by pinching it due to its small size. Unfortunately, the chest compartment remains red due to being made of [[unpaintable plastic]] to support the butterfly joints. '86 Optimus Prime is about half a head taller than the [[#Earthrise|''Earthrise'' figure]], making him closer in scale to most of his Autobot brethren from the past few years.

:He comes with his ion blaster, energon axe, trailer (with Roller and Auto-Launcher repair drone), and a pair of [[Fire Blast effect|blast effects]] that are reminiscent of those that came with the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|MP-44 "Convoy Ver.3.0"]] figure, which can be used with his blaster and drone. Perhaps this set's most noteworthy new feature is ''another'' pair of fiery effect parts that can be attached to the bottom of the cab, allowing collectors to recreate Prime's iconic truck-jumping scene during the Battle of Autobot City, completed with his included backdrop based on this scene. This is the first non-''Masterpiece'' Optimus Prime toy to hide his wheels in robot mode, come with every main accessory used throughout the cartoon, and feature a cartoon-accurate truck bumper.

:The ion blaster can store on his robot back and truck bed, though the latter might chip the blaster's gunmetal paint due to the tight fit. His energon axe attaches using a [[5 mm post]] revealed by flipping either hand, a design element from MP-01. Prime's weapons and the beam effects are stored inside the trailer with Roller and the repair drone, with enough space left to fit store one [[Autobot Cars|Deluxe Class car]], while the "jumping" effects are stashed away in the trailer's undercarriage. The trailer can transform into a command station<ref>[https://gizmodo.com/hasbro-studio-series-optimus-prime-transformers-the-movie-2000473908 Hasbro's Latest, Greatest Optimus Prime Is Ready to Roll Out] on Gizmodo, July 2024.</ref> or repair bay. The interior of the trailer is based on the MP-44 trailer's sculpt, itself inspired by the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|original trailer's]] stickers. The ''[[Diaclone]]'' consoles have been rendered as unpainted sculpted detail due to their space being used for accessory storage. The Auto-Launcher drone features its traditional antenna and claw arm, and has an opening cockpit, though the space is too small for even a ''Diaclone'' pilot to fit. Unfortunately, the drone cannot poke out of the trailer like previous versions, but it is removable and can be carried by Roller. Roller can also tow the trailer and is scaled to seat 4 [[Titan Master]]s. The ion blaster can also be attached on Roller's rear port, but the tight fit can cause paint chipping on both accessories. Roller stores in the trailer by tabbing onto the drone, facing away from the door unlike usual. Optimus' trailer can also be successfully hitched to all figures previously capable of towing the ''Earthrise'' figure's trailer and all those retooled from the aforementioned mold, though the '86 figure is too large to be compatable with any prior trailers.

:This figure has a number of potential paint chipping issues. The painted red side panels in truck mode can chip from transforming as they slide into small gaps in the legs. To avoid this, the screws near the front feet need to be slightly unscrewed to widen the gap. The silver on the bottom of the front bumper can also get scraped when untabbing from his back. This is not visible in either mode, but to better avoid it all the same, first pull down the blue piece on his behind for some operating room, then firmly hold the top of the backpack and carefully pull down while avoiding contact with his torso. The offending edges on the torso can also be sanded down for more clearance. A less avoidable one is the silver paint on the bottom corners of the truck grill scraping from transformation as they rub against the bumper.

:Optimus' smokestacks tend to rotate too easily, as there is virtually no tension in the socket securing them in place to make proper use of the tabs meant to secure them in place. The neck panel can be difficult to push into place when transforming into truck mode, usually feeling "stuck" even when it isn't and requiring the use of excessive force. Try pressing down hard on both rear ends of the panel as shown [https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/studio-series-86-31-commander-ciass-optimus-prime.1265824/page-5#post-22678953 here]. The edge of the panel can also be sanded down to reduce the pressure needed. Early copies of the figure have a minor [[misassembly]]: his heel/tail light pieces are upside down and on the wrong feet; the thicker blue edge should be on the top side. This has no effect on the toy's functionality, but can be swapped by knocking out the pins if so desired. Fortunately, later releases of the figure, which includes the TakaraTomy release, feature correctly-assembled heel/tail light pieces. This can be identified by looking at the date code on his inner right leg; corrected specimens should say "42831" or higher.

:This figure was revealed by an Amazon product listing on [[July 15]], 2024, with pre-orders going live the next day. The toy saw its first release as an advanced sale item for the [[Ani-Com & Games Hong Kong]] 2024 event. It began to appear at Target by early October.

:Part of the ''Studio Series'' A-level assortment for 2025, this Deluxe Class Optimus Prime is based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: Devastation|Devastation]]'', and transforms into a truck cab. His chest features paint operations made to emulate the cell-shaded artwork from the game. He includes an energon axe with a built-in slash effect (mimicking the the cartoon smear effect applied to melee weapons in-game) and a removable Matrix of Leadership which can tab into slots in his knuckles so it can be held without the need for opening hands. The axe can be stored behind his cab in truck mode.

:Unfortunately, due to the transformation scheme, the grey/silver stripes are not present in truck mode.

:The Titan Class for ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' is "Star Optimus Prime," a full, proper update of the original [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Star Convoy]] figure, turning into a large truck with a wheeled cab and treaded trailer and a base almost-identical to the design of the original. He serves as the line's representation of the [[Thirteenth Prime]]. He comes packaged with a rifle evoking the design of the original's "Galaxy Bomber," as well as 2 removable pairs of shoulder turrets, a second smaller turret, and a sword hilt which doubles as the Silver Matrix, all 5 mm port compatible. The rifle and turret can combine with the hilt to form a longer rifle, seemingly referencing the ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Generations Selects|Star Convoy]] figure which had the same feature. The hilt/Matrix is stored in the back of one of the legs when not in used, while the guns are simply attached to the roof of the trailer. Like most past Titans, Star Optimus Prime also includes multiple Fire Blast effects, though he comes with more sets than others. The hilt can connect to any of them and be wielded by Optimus as a flaming sword. Lastly, the figure comes with a small Zodiac orb that serves as his [[Artifacts of the Primes|Artifact]], and is accordingly marked with his personal emblem. It can store in his chest like in ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)|The Battlestars]]''.

:As with the original figure, Star Optimus Prime comes with a Micromaster version of Hot Rod and a Micro Trailer to transport him. The vehicle's cab can be lifted up to expose a pair of cannons, and it can be equipped with the turret and one of the shoulder cannons to serve as a battle platform for Hot Rod resembling the battle station of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#G1RodimusPrime|the original Rodimus Prime toy]]. This battle station, sans the turret, is meant to be added to the base mode. The Micro Trailer is labeled as "MT-13," presumably because it comes with the Thirteenth Prime, but it also coincidentally continues the numbering from the original assortment of Micro Trailers, which ended with MT-12. (It should also be noted that there were 13 original Micro Trailers, and Star Convoy's was the unnumbered one.) The Micro Trailer can store inside one of the figure's legs, and Hot Rod in his chest cavity. A tread unit intended to be a new version of Roller is also included in the form of the 2-piece, [[A.I.R. Lock System|A.I.R. Lock]]-compatible, ramp assembly for the base mode, which can store on the back of the legs. Roller can be equipped with the turret as well.

:Notably, Star Optimus Prime is smaller than his Titan-class predecessors, standing at a mere 15 inches, almost exactly the same height as an old Supreme Class. This coincides with the price decrease of Titans from $199.99 USD to $149.99 USD.

:''Superion is an [[Autobot]] [[combiner]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Superion studioox.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I MUST SUCCEED!]]
As the first of the [[Autobot]] [[combiner]]s, '''Superion''' is an imperfect warrior at best. In other gestalt Transformers, the mental aspect of combination has famously resulted in instability and insanity, as disparate personalities have been meshed into one mismatched whole. Superion aims to overcome this not by achieving a more thorough melding of the minds, but rather, by ''shutting out'' all the different, conflicting personalities of the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] who compose him. He suppresses absolutely everything save for his dedication to the destruction of the [[Decepticon]]s, and his rival [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] in particular—something that he is especially good at, despite the fact that his strangled thought processes leave him struggling to innovate or adapt to new tactics in battle. Other Autobots mistakenly interpret this single-mindedness and inability to engage on a social level as aloofness, as if Superion considered himself to be above his teammates, but he is truly physically and mentally incapable of giving any more of himself.

Superion is made up of the five Aerialbots:

*[[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] (torso)
*[[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]] (left arm)
*[[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] (left leg)
*[[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]] (right arm)
*[[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] (right leg)

In some universes, [[Airazor (Universe)|Airazor]] or [[Alpha Bravo]] replace Slingshot on the team, and [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] transforms into Superion's weapon.

[[File:KTVS2 superion vs menasor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Taken seconds before he teabagged Menasor.]] When the five Aerialbots were created on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and brought to life by [[Vector Sigma]]—reactivated through the sacrifice of [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]—[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] slyly alluded to Superion's existence by noting that ''six'' Autobots had been born that day. The other Autobots soon learned the true meaning of their leader's words when, during a battle back on [[Earth]], the Aerialbots merged to become Superion for the first time to counter the threat posed by Menasor. At first, Superion was able to match Menasor, but the Decepticon combiner's sheer aggression soon turned the tide. Struck by a building and trapped by a landslide, Superion was nearly run through by a factory smokestack until, at the last moment, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] appeared to intercept Menasor's attack. Helped free by Omega, Superion joined him in defeating Menasor, sending the Decepticons into retreat. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

[[File:Wardawn superion.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Weeks later, back on Cybertron, Superion engaged a damaged [[guardian robot]] in battle, and found himself tossed around like a rag doll by the giant's immense strength. Summoning up all his power, Superion delivered a punch so explosive that the guardian was hurled up into the air, out of the building they were fighting it, and then shattered into pieces when it crashed back down. {{storylink|War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn}}

During a battle in the Middle East against [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] and the Decepticons' [[Giant Purple Griffin|new flying fortress]], the Aerialbots were at a disadvantage, unable to combine into Superion thanks to the unexplained absence of Fireflight. Fortunately, their missing member soon turned up, and they formed Superion and promptly kicked the fortress out of the air. Turning his attention to Bruticus, Superion found himself flung to the ground, but as Bruticus lunged towards him, he quickly separated into his component parts to get out of the way, sending the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] combiner sprawling. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}} Soon after, Superion got another crack at defeating Menasor while helping in the Autobot effort to defend the [[Statue of Liberty]]. This battle went a lot better for him than their last, as he singlehandedly defeated Menasor and destroyed Megatron's [[Lightning Bug]] weapon. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

[[File:ForeverLongTime superion fires.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
In the year 2006, Superion accompanied [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] in investigating reports of [[Quintesson]] activity on an asteroid. Superion brought his prodigious power to bear against the aliens' starships and forced them into retreat, but this meant the aliens were unable to close the [[Time Window]] they had constructed on the asteroid. A robot named [[Alpha Trion (G1)|A-3]] emerged through the window, who was then hurled into space by an explosion caused by the attack of the returning Quintesson force. Superion managed to follow and grab him, but was then pinned down by Quintesson fire, and believe that he was doomed. As time began to unravel thanks to chronal energy leaking from the unclosed time window, A-3 transformed in Superion's very hands into his future self, revealing that he was actually Alpha Trion, whose life Superion ''had'' to save, so that his ''own'' could come to pass. The effect of the chronal energy then struck Superion himself, causing him to exist in two places at once, giving him double the firepower to repel the Quintessons once again. The duplicate Superion then faded away, and the Autobots soon returned A-3 to his proper place in time and closed the window. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (episode)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

[[File:BurdenHardest superion in flight.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|It's a bot! It's a plane! It's Superion!]]
Hounding [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] through an asteroid field, the Aerialbots formed Superion to really bring the pain. The two Decepticons rushed the getalt at the moment of his combination and were able to knock him aside long enough to escape through a nearby vortex. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} Later, Superion was part of a team led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] that prevented the Decepticons from using a comet to destroy [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. After the group was shot down over [[Eurythma]], Superion continued to fight the Decepticons until [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] incapacitated all of the Autobots using a [[Harmony|harmonic weapon]] he'd obtained from the [[Eurythman|natives]]. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}}

The Aerialbots were sent to investigate strange activities by the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]], and formed Superion after coming under fire from both the Junkions and the Quintessons. Superion shrugged off the Quintesson fire, rammed their ship with his fists and shot through the ship's protective shield, hurting himself in the resulting explosion. [[File:ROOP1 superion hateplague.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]] The giant Autobot managed to send a distress call to Cybertron and was carried back to the planet with help from [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]. Just before passing out, Superion warned Rodimus Prime of the Quintesson interference. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}} Some time later, Superion joined in the Autobot effort to defend [[Japan]] against Decepticon attack, separating into his component Aerialbots to blast [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] before he collided with a speeding passenger train. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

When attempting to recover [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s body, the Aerialbots were infected with the [[Hate Plague]]. While infected, they combined into Superion, who smashed a hole through the roof of the lab they had entered. [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] led a team of Autobots to attempt to subdue Superion, but they were shot down by the raging gestalt. Later, Defensor was helping evacuate a bridge when Superion attacked. Defensor was able to knock Superion away, but he bounced off the bridge cables, making contact with Defensor and spreading the infection further. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} Superion was cured when the resurrected Optimus Prime unleashed the power of the Matrix to neutralize the plague. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
=====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' story pages=====
[[File:FSRLFstorypage7 superion vs triplechangers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
Around the time the Autobots initiated their "[[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]]" initiative to construct a mobile battle fortress, Superion battled Astrotrain and [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]], easily overpowering the two [[Triple Changer]]s with his massive hands. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 7|Story page #7}} The combiner did not fare so well in his next battle, against Menasor, but managed to achieve victory by dividing into the Aerialbots and binding the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]] gestalt, allowing him to be bombarded by Scramble City's arsenal. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 8|Story page #8}}

=====Scramble City=====
{{voiceactor|[[Tomomichi Nishimura]] (Japanese)}}
[[File:ScrambleCity superions wrong trousers.jpg|thumb|225px|left|Ssssssssss........aaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!]]
As the Autobots' Scramble City project was nearing completion, the location of the secret cavern in which they were finishing the battle station's construction was discovered by the Decepticons. The Aerialbots repelled the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] with an aerial barrage, but when the Stunticons came rolling onto the scene, they merged into Superion to deal with their old foes. A single kick from Superion tore up the ground beneath them and briefly buried the Stunticons, but they soon extricated themselves and formed Menasor to fight back. Tackled to the ground by the Stunticon combiner, Superion deftly separated into his component 'bots to avoid being stomped, then re-combined in an alternate configuration for more power. Menasor seized Superion out of the air as he attempted a flying kick and hurled him aside, so the Aerialbots tried switching configurations again, only for Fireflight to forget which limb he was supposed to be forming and fall off. Menasor exploited the opportunity to have [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] forcibly combine with Superion as the Autobot's missing leg, crippling him with great pain. A timely blast from Optimus Prime removed the Stunticon, allowing Fireflight to rejoin Superion, but the arrival of the Combaticons proceeded to tip the battle in the Decepticons' favor. Restrained by Menasor and pummelled by Bruticus, Superion had to eventually give up and split back into the Aerialbots to escape, but thankfully, Defensor and Metroplex soon showed up to win the day. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

Following Metroplex's arrival, Superion watched as he battled [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|LG-43 Trypticon Project Chapter}}

=====''Transformers 2010'' story pages=====
Superion and Defensor did not fare well against the Decepticons' newest combiner, [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (story page)#Part 2|Story page #2}} They probably would have preferred to enact a hypothetical scenario that proposed what would happen if the Autobot combiners could make peace with the Decepticons; in this "imaginary tale", Superion sported [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] for a right arm, [[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Strip]] as his left arm, Wildrider as his right leg, and [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] for his left leg. {{storylink|Fight!

[[File:HMep1 superion vs abominus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
During the Decepticon invasion of Cybertron in the year 2011, the Aerialbots assembled as Superion to defend the planet against Galvatron's forces. Superion fought fiercely against [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], and was almost shot in the back by the underhanded [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], but luckily, Optimus Prime was watching out for the giant warrior and Abominus wound up on the receiving end of the shot instead. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} As the battle continued, Superion, Defensor and [[Raiden]] came under heavy fire from the Decepticon combiners until the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] dropped from the skies to rain down terror and artillery fire on the Decepticons. The battle proceeded to spread to Earth as the Decepticons endeavored to stop Hot Rod from recovering the missing [[Matrix of Leadership]]; Superion engaged Menasor in the Arctic to keep him from interfering with the young Autobot's quest. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

Sometime later, Superion fought with Bruticus outside Trypticon, staging a distraction so that [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Twincast]] could break into the Decepticon base and retrieve vital information. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

[[File:HM16 autobot combiners.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
He was formed again, on Cybertron, during the Decepticon raid for the new super-metal [[cybertonuron]], this time scattering the Stunticons like tenpins. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} During the fight, he again clashed with Abominus (again) until Devastator accidentally shot his comrade (again). {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

When [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] attempted to usurp command of the Decepticons following the disappearance of Galvatron, the Aerialbots were among the Autobot forces who attacked his leadership rally on [[Moon (moon)|Earth's moon]]. They formed Superion to enter the fight, but the tide turned when Galvatron made an unexpected return and galvanized his troops to strike back, resulting in Superion getting zapped hard and fleeing with the other Autobots. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}}

Superion joined the entire Autobot army in journeying to the North Pole for a climactic battle with Scorponok. He fought against the evil combiners as the battle raged. Along with all the other Autobots present, Superion lent his energies to the Headmasters' [[Head Formation]] to revitalize Fortress Maximus at the critical moment. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

=====Metrowars=====
[[File:Metrowars superion.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
Superion was stationed at [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]] while it was under reconstruction after an attack from [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]]. When Metrotitan and the Decepticons attacked again, the reborn Metroplex transformed and Superion manned one of Metroplex's cannons with [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]]'s help. With Metroplex's firepower, the Decepticons were sent retreating. {{Storylink|Metrowars}}

When the war began anew in the wake of the [[Cybertron Alliance]]'s collapse, the Aerialbots adopted new bodies and fought with Bruticus in the form of Superion. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Metroplex)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}

In the 2030s, Superion was charging into a battle against the Decepticons when the dimensional intruder [[Grand Scourge]] dropped in via a tear in space-time and forcefully combined with four of the Stunticons. Recognizing that the new arrival was a dire threat, Superion attempted to take him down, only to be thoroughly trounced by the rogue Decepticon. {{storylink|Decepticon Dark Commander Grand Scourge}} He was saved by the arrival of [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], who loosened Grand Scourge's grip and allowed the Aerialbots to split apart and escape. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 53|Bonus Edition Vol. 53}}

When the Stunticons and Combaticons began tearing up a baseball stadium, [[Kenji]], the Autobots' young human ally, used his Superion [[wrist-communicator]] to call for help from the airborne combiner himself, as well as the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]]. The Protectobots were first on the scene, but Superion soon came swooping in to back them up, only for Bruticus to join the fight as well. On Kenji's advisement, Superion blew the leg combination joints out from under the Decepticon combiners with his rifle, allowing the Protectobots to forcibly link up with them as new legs, flying the evil gestalts off and dropping them in the ocean. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 5|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #5}}

The Aerialbots' powers of flight made them the ideal choice to speed to the aid a group of Autobots in need of reinforcement on an island the Decepticons were using as a staging base for the launch of their counter to Scramble City, [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. Charged predominantly with protecting the local wildlife, the Aerialbots were joined in the mission by Protectobot medic [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] (replacing a miffed Slingshot), who took up position as Superion's left leg to fly to the island. The combiner was nearly crushed by Trypticon, but the saurian city was distracted by the sudden appearance of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], Scramble CIty's robot form. Superion detached Air Raid, who buzzed Trypticon and taunted him into attacking Metroplex... who turned out to be a giant hologram courtesy of [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], through which Trypticon fell into the ocean. {{storylink|Fight!

=====''The Great Transformer War''=====
The Aerialbots were deployed to rescue the alien scientist [[Dalton]] from captivity within Trypticon, forming Superion on approach. Unfortunately for them, the battle-station modes that [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] and [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] had adopted to hook up to Trypticon's city mode allowed them to launch the Stunticons and Combaticons into battle so rapidly that Superion was torn limb from limb mere moments after his combination. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}

====Full Throttle Scramble Power!====
[[File:FullThrottle superion vs menasor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|The original Combiner Wars]]
The Aerialbots formed Superion to stop Menasor from stealing energy from a power plant, but the Decepticons had an extra trick up their sleeves: their new [[Omega Wave Cannon]], which threatened to shut down the Autobot combiner's whole body with its deadly electromagnetic beams. Though by all rights the two direct hits he took from the weapon should have knocked him offline, Superion's components redistributed their power to keep on fighting, hitting Menasor with a full-power blow. Unfortunately, the damage done by the Omega Wave Cannon had weakened Superion enough that Menasor was able to withstand his attack, and worse still, he was unable to change his limb configuration to counter Menasor's follow-up attack. Fortunately, Metroplex and the other Autobots soon arrived, and the sight of the giant city-bot left Menasor momentarily stunned, allowing Superion to get the upper hand. Disengaging Slingshot, Superion had him knock Wildrider loose from Menasor and take his place, immobilizing the Decepticon combiner so that Superion could stomp him into defeat. {{storylink|Full Throttle Scramble Power!}}

''Superion was first depicted in a series of visions experienced by [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]], the Autobots' human friend who had once contained the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] itself within his brain. After a particularly serious nightmare, Buster subconsciously drew the image of a five-jet combiner robot, a design far more sophisticated than what had been achieved by Cybertronian science up 'til that point.'' {{storylink|Devastation Derby!}} ''Another series of surreal dream images from Buster's mind saw the jet combiner in action, first destroying the Decepticon commander [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] who had recently bedeviled Buster, and then fighting against a new car-robot combiner. Realizing these dreams were in fact unfocused visions from the Creation Matrix itself, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] decided to mind-link with Buster during his next bout of REM sleep, guiding the visions into a more coherent stream of information. The link was successful, and Prime and Buster observed Superion fighting alongside his fellow combiner [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] against their Decepticon opposite numbers, [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] at the [[Pullen Power Plant]]. Relating this information to [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], Optimus and his chief engineer began planning on how to make these dreams into reality.'' {{storylink|Second Generation!}} {{storylink|The Special Teams Have Arrived}}

[[File:Superion aerialbots over america.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|left|Able to leap tall dams in a single bound!]]
Using information recorded on the combination sequence of the Decepticons' Devastator, Wheeljack reverse-engineered and refined the process to create the Aerialbots. Unfortunately, the team was called into action at Hoover Dam before any of its members, save Silverbolt, had their personality programming completed. When the Aerialbots were forced to combine in order to destroy a massive energy drill sent over by the [[space bridge]], Superion was confronted with a human pawn named [[Ricky Vasquez]] carrying [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] in gun mode, infused with a [[cerebro-shell]] that forced him to obey the Decepticons' will. Still, Vasquez had begun to fight the Decepticons' control over him, and he tried to resist Megatron's order to shoot Superion. Seeing the human as a danger to his mission, Superion attempted to crush Vasquez and end the threat, but Silverbolt loudly cried out against that course of action inside his head. Strangely, Vasquez and Superion ended up not fighting each other, but themselves, frozen in mid-action as they fought against their own inner drives. Ultimately, Silverbolt forcibly disengaged Superion rather than risk harming an innocent life. {{storylink|Aerialbots over America!}}

[[File:Menasor superion heavy traffic.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|I'm fading, I'm fading!]]
Following the near fatality at Hoover Dam, the Autobots erased the Aerialbots' programming and memories, reconstructing their minds from scratch and giving them an infusion of Matrix energy to start over again. Superion next saw action against the Decepticon combiner known as Menasor, fighting to protect his comrade [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] and their human ally, [[Donny Finkleberg]]. Their fight was cut short, however, when the monomaniacal [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]] agent named [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]] used her powers to overload Superion's circuitry, leaving him open to a blast from Menasor's [[cyclone gun]]. The RAAT agents managed to dismantle the combiner into his separate Aerialbot bodies and took them all captive along with several other Autobots. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic!}} The Autobots were only released after Circuit Breaker was forced to make a deal with them in order to end the threat of the rampaging [[Battlecharger]]s. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}}

{{GIJoeTransformersfiction}}
[[File:Superion blood on the tracks.jpg|thumb|left|We are here to attack other Hasbro properties.]]
When Optimus Prime determined that a new human construction named [[Power Station Alpha]] might tempt the Decepticons into action, he sent Bumblebee to attend the unveiling as a precautionary surveillance measure. Sure enough, [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] made an appearance, and so Optimus sent Silverbolt and the Aerialbots as back-up. They arrived just in time to see Bumblebee being blown away by the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] team guarding Power Station Alpha. Assuming their Superion form, the Aerialbots attempted to threaten the humans into allowing them to retrieve Bumblebee's body. {{storylink|Blood on the Tracks}} An intense but one-sided conflict raged between Superion and the Joes until he received a signal from [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], conveying the horrific news that Optimus Prime had died in battle while the Aerialbots were on their mission. Superion immediately disengaged and returned to the Ark. {{storylink|Power Struggle}} A short time later, the Autobots joined forces with both G.I. Joe and [[Cobra]] against the Decepticons, who planned to use Power Station Alpha to destroy the world. The Aerialbots entered the battle and became Superion to pit their strength against the mighty Devastator. Superion eventually scored the winning shot when his [[stress fracture cannon]] caused a malfunction in Devastator's coupling links, forcing him back into his individual Constructicon modes. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!}}

[[File:Menasor superion perchance to dream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Who says I lack killer instinct?!]]
''Later, the Aerialbots confronted Menasor again, only this time their fusion into Superion let slip Silverbolt's secret shame: the mental merging allowed the other Aerialbots to learn of their leader's fear of heights. Horrified at being found out, Silverbolt caused Superion to lash out at Menasor with such savagery that they very nearly harmed the very humans they had come to save.'' {{storylink|...Perchance to Dream}}

''Still doubting the Aerialbots because of their various neuroses, Optimus placed [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] in temporary command of the unit and had him psychologically test them in the field. When Jetfire was gunned down by Decepticons, they formed Superion: once again, he was left crippled by the combination of personality flaws and could only concentrate on combat, tearing into the enemy and causing plenty of collateral damage. When [[Danny Phillips|a bystander]] screamed at him to realise what he was doing, the giant proved incapable of computing anything beyond his mission to destroy his enemies. However, because Jetfire had been offline at the time, he remained unaware of the issues with Superion.'' {{storylink|The Return of the Transformers}}

====Earthforce====
{{earthforcefiction}}
[[File:Superion inside story.jpg|thumb|left]]
At one point after the Aerialbots joined Earthforce, Superion was struck with a [[cerebro-shell]], courtesy of the Insecticon named Bombshell, and he began to run amok, crashing through sparsely populated areas on a beeline towards major human population centers. The Autobots were unable to stop him through sheer force, so they enlisted the help of a human reporter named [[Irwin Spoon]], giving him instructions on how to infiltrate Superion's exo-structure and manually pull the cerebro-shell out of his circuitry. Spoon succeeded in the nick of time, freeing Superion's thought processes right as he reached a local township. {{storylink|Inside Story!}} [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] reported these events back to [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]], prompting them to send in the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]]. {{storylink|Front Line!

After receiving reports from [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] that the [[Quintesson]]s were up to no good on the [[Junkion (planet)|planet of Junk]], [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]] sent the Aerialbots to investigate. Encountering a [[Quintesson Cruiser]] above the planet, they formed Superion, who fired his jets at the ship's force fields. The resultant explosion not only damaged the Quintesson craft but also knocked Superion unconscious. He was recovered by Sky Lynx, who returned him to Cybertron for repairs. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

===The Special Teams===
The Aerialbots were created on Cybertron by Vector Sigma, but briefly defected to the Decepticons upon arrival on Earth. When they returned to the Autobot ranks, Megatron compensated for the loss of Superion's power by creating the Stunticons. The two teams clashed in battle over the [[Pullen Power Plant]], each assuming their combined form; Superion was able to deal Menasor a crippling blow with his stress fracture cannon, forcing him to withdraw. The Aerialbot combiner then disengaged to pursue Starscream, who had been observing the fight, but the Decepticon Air Commander outpaced Superion's components. {{storylink|The Special Teams}}

When an Autobot salvage expedition was unexpectedly ambushed by Decepticons, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] became concerned that the Cons had developed a new form of surveillance. Silverbolt suggested his men perform a full scan of the area for any spy installation. The Aerialbots were unable to locate any sites on the ground, but a ghost of a radar contact at high altitude caught their attention. Forming Superion, they flew as high as possible and confirmed that ''something'' was out there in the upper atmosphere. {{storylink|Galvatron's Air Attack}}

[[File:PrimeDirective4 superion bombed.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
The Aerialbots were among the Transformers on the [[Ark II]] when it crashed in 1999 thanks to the machinations of [[Robert Hallo]] and [[Lazarus|Adam Rook]], but were not among those unfortunates that Rook subsequently rounded up and reprogrammed. Having apparently merged into Superion prior to the craft's impact, they and a handful of other Autobots lay deactivated at the bottom of the ocean until 2002, when they were reawakened by Optimus Prime, emerging from the waters in their combined form. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 2|Prime Directive #2}}

Superion assured Prime he would be part of the coming battle. Soon after, while Superion and the other Autobots engaged the Decepticons in battle in the frozen wilderness of Canada, the US government dropped a bomb on both factions. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 3|Prime Directive #3}} Ironically enough, it was a metallic [[cyber-virus]] unleashed by Megatron's virus that saved them, solidifying around the dome of the explosion; [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] was concerned about the amount of effort it would take to extricate Superion from the metal dome, but the combiner put his worries to rest by punching his way out with sheer force.

Superion proceeded to fly the Autobots to [[San Francisco]] on his back, for a final showdown with Megatron's forces. Superion took on Devastator during the city-shaking battle, but was forced back into his component robots by an airstrike courtesy of the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] and their unstoppable [[triangle formation]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 4|Prime Directive #4}}
[[File:DWPrimeDirective6 Superion nuke.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|"They couldn't hit [[Big Convoy|an elephant]] from this dist—"]]
The conflict came to an end when Hallo launched a nuclear missile at the city in an attempt to destroy all the Transformers; seeing no other recourse, the Aerialbots assembled into Superion and sacrificed their lives by flying straight into the missile, detonating it over the Pacific Ocean. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6|Prime Directive #6}}

''Superion's faceplate was recovered from the ocean depths and incorporated into [[Hugo Fortuna]]'s private collection of Cybertronian and Cybertronian-derived technology. Fortuna's collection was uncovered by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] and [[Franklin Townsend]] while they were investigating the mysterious disappearance of several Transformers. {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}'' Like Devastator, Superion's remains were later [[:File:Superion dreamwave.jpg|taken in]] by the [[Earth Defense Command]] for study. {{storylink|Generation 1 issue 0|Generation 1 #0}}

After the Aerialbots awoke in [[1939]], they formed Superion during the battle against [[Cobra]] and the Decepticons on the [[Fera Islands]]. The giant saved [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Roadblock (G.I.

Cobra used this opportunity to open fire on Superion with [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s massive cannon mode. {{storylink|Trenches}} However, Superion stood strong, shielding his allies against enemy fire for as long as he could.

[[File:IDW RID9 the superion.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.50| Superion heeds the call of the better Ironhide]]
Dissatisfied with [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]]'s governance of the rebuilt [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] following the reformatting of Cybertron, the Aerialbots seceded from his ranks and left the city, venturing out into the untamed wilderness the rest of the planet had become. {{storylink|Stick Together}} There, they were found by [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]], who elected to use them as test subjects, exposing them to the mysterious energies that had previously been responsible for creating the "[[Deceptigod]]" combiner. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} The Aerialbots first succumbed to rage and madness, but then, the four smaller 'bots began to unify in purpose, hunting down Silverbolt, who resisted the process for longer. {{storylink|Night and the City}} To cope, the Aerialbots' minds and bodies—like those who combined into the Deceptigod before them—spontaneously reconfigured of their own accord, fusing the five Autobots together into "The Superion". {{storylink|Second Exodus}} Dismissing the newborn combiner as insane, Megatron left Superion in the wilderness, using the data he had gained from the experiment to perfect the combination process and create a new version of Devastator. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}}

[[File:PlanForEverything-ThisIssueSuperionDies.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Oof! Right in the Slingshot...]]
When [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] came looking for the missing Aerialbots, the prehistoric Autobots soon succumbed to the energy's effects as well. Ironhide fled, following a recording message from Silverbolt that led him to Superion, who rescued him from his pursuers. {{storylink|Night and the City}} With a sufficiently large number of Transformers now in one place, the energies Megatron was broadcasting became too diluted to have any effect, restoring everyone to their right minds, {{storylink|Second Exodus}} and Ironhide then led them all back to Iacon to help save the city from Megatron. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} Superion grappled with the new Devastator and was able to bring him down after the death of [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]], who was controlling him from afar, caused his mind to shut down. However, as Superion turned his attention elsewhere, the Decepticon combiner rose again under the control of ''himself'' and attacked the Aerialbot combiner from behind, tearing him in half and killing Slingshot in the process. {{storylink|Plan for Everything}} The rest of the Aerialbots, still fused into Superion, were carried to a makeshift medical center in Iacon, where they were placed on emergency life-support. {{storylink|Three Monologues}}

After Megatron's defeat, Starscream seized control of Iacon and exiled those who would not renounce their factions from the city. The injured Superion was allowed to remain in the city until he was repaired enough to make a decision for himself. {{storylink|Second Exodus}} Once the Constructicons became loyal to [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]], however, Starscream realized that all major factions now had access to combiners except the neutrals, and decided to make Superion theirs, drafting the two volunteers [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] and [[Alpha Bravo]] into the team to replace Slingshot. Starscream revived and recruited [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]], who agreed to rebuild the combiner. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}} The [[Enigma of Combination]] accelerated the repair job. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}}

[[File:IDWRID33-repairingsuperion.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH_6iFYiryY Da-na-NUM, da-na-NUM].]]

The new team of Aerialbots were deployed over [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]] to combat the similarly rebuilt Menasor, who had teamed up with Swindle and were planning to rob the planet blind. Superion's greater mental stability and dexterity allowed him to outwit his rival, even splitting his body around one of Menasor's devastating haymaker punches, stumbling the Decepticon and allowing Superion to pummel him. Superion was glad to help the Camiens, although he mused that they should have called him sooner. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} Starscream later showed off "his" new combiner to the Camiens as part of his opening remarks. During the reconstruction process, Superion chatted with Optimus Prime about Starscream's political ambitions and what it was like to be a combiner, although Superion was unable to articulate his feelings on the latter. {{storylink|The Possible Light}} Things quickly took a turn for the worse when Prowl and the Constructicons came knocking and merged into Devastator, aiming to shut down the Space Bridge and cut off contact with the colonies. Superion moved to stop him, but the Autobot combiner and his modular limbs were no match for Devastator's brute strength. Devastator dragged his quarry back through the Space Bridge, but was distracted by Chromia, Ironhide, and the Decepticons. In the meantime, Starscream resuscitated his warrior with the Enigma, and created a new combiner—Defensor—from a group of nearby Autobots. Together the duo were able to temporarily take down Devastator. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}}

[[File:ThePossibleLight-showingoffsuperion.jpg|left|thumb|200px|This is how we all felt when we finished our first ''Combiner Wars'' figure.]]

In the aftermath, Starscream stationed Superion and Defensor on Caminus, guarding the vital spacebridge to Cybertron. Much to Optimus Prime's concern, Superion had not willingly separated himself since his first fight with Menasor; Prowl commented that for all intents and purposes Superion ''was'' the new default form for the Aerialbots. Eventually, Menasor attacked once again, and he was joined by a rebuilt Devastator. Believing that Devastator, who now incorporated [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]], was still loyal to Prowl, Defensor tried to fight him, sparking a brawl between the combiners. The battle sent all four combiners hurtling through the damaged space bridge and onto a distant alien planet. The quartet battled until a [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|new combiner]] arrived, promising to put a stop to the mayhem once and for all. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} This was easier said than done, and Defensor and Superion had to protect an uncertain Optimus Maximus from a berserk Devastator, even as Superion tried to remind Devastator of Scoop's loyalty to Starscream. Optimus Maximus finally managed to reach a consensus with his components, and the three combiners battled Devastator and Menasor in a fight that spanned across the colony worlds. Optimus, Defensor, and Superion managed to surround Devastator and tear him back into his component parts after the gang reappeared at Caminus. With Prowl in custody, Superion was saddened to think that Optimus Maximus might never form again. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

Superion later resumed his post at Caminus's spacebridge, intending to safely transport Devastator offworld. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}} He later travelled to [[Devisiun (planet)|Devisiun]] with Starscream; his presence impressed the natives and inspired them to join Starscream's [[Council of Worlds]]. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}}

When Decepticons raided the space bridge chamber, Optimus Prime summoned Superion for crowd control. Despite Starscream's efforts to remain in command of the combiner, Superion followed Optimus Prime to Earth as a show of force to annex the planet for the Council of Worlds and prevent Galvatron and the Decepticons from seizing it for themselves. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}}

Superion and the Autobots engaged the Decepticon invaders, but Galvatron's forces were mostly conquered by the [[mindbomb]] effect controlled by [[Earth Defense Command]]. Galvatron then teleported away via [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], leaving the Autobots to deal with the unhappy Chinese defense forces. Prime's aide [[Aileron]] retrieved his ''[[Skyroller]]'' from Cybertron, and the Autobots loaded aboard, taking the Space Bridge with them as they fled. Superion and Prime's forces relocated to [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]]'s old residence while considering their next move. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}}

[[File:AsAboveSoBelow-giantsuperion.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Superionsize me.]]

Superion subsequently accompanied the combined Autobot/Decepticon strikeforce as they moved on Galvatron's underwater base in the [[Indian Ocean]]. While Superion initially held up well against the onslaught of [[Seeker clone]]s, tag-teaming them alongside [[Victorion]], the two combiners were unprepared for Galvatron's ace in the hole: thanks to the machinations of G.B. Blackrock and his [[Onyx]] software, Galvatron had hijacked the Enigma of Combination and spread its powers across the Earth. Superion was thus caught by surprise when Galvatron began mish-mashing the combatants together, creating a combiner of his own in the form of [[Galvatronus (CW)|Galvatronus]]. Seconds later, Victorion was taken out of action by Galvatron's newfound ability to forcibly ''de-''combine combiners through the Enigma, leaving Superion alone and facing down Galvatronus and [[Sky Reign]]. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}}

Galvatron then tried to turn the Enigma's power on Superion—however, Superion had ''not'' been created through the energies of the Enigma, allowing him to fend off the mental assault and stay together. As the other Autobots watched, Superion struggled to deactivate the Engima's adaptive code before coming up with a solution; by overwriting part of the source code into his own cortex, he could harness the Enigma's energies for his own, using it to force the other comibners to separate at he cost of losing control of his [[Size changing|mass displacement]], temporarily growing even larger and using his super-size to smash the ''Nemesis'' apart.

[[File:Ceremony-SuperionVsMonstructor.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
The threat vanquished, Superion separated; by de-combining, Superion had deactivated a vital part of the source code and nullified the power of the Earth-Enigma... so long as he never re-formed. Upon splitting, Silverbolt officially declared that Superion was "dead". {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 5: As Above...So Below|As Above...So Below}}

Years later, however, Superion was called back into action during [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s attack on the galaxy; following the destruction of Cybertron, the Aerialbots escaped to Earth with the other Transformer refugees, Superion was unleashed to tap into the powers of the Enigma once more. As the battle for Earth raged, however, Superion was forced to go up against [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]], mutated by the power of [[Ore-11]], but after joining forces with Victorion the pair successfully brought him down for good, with Superion blasting a hole through the evil combiner's torso as Victorion rammed her fist through his head.

Using the powers of ''both'' Enigmas and [[Stardrive]]'s [[magic]], [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] was able to tap into the afterlife, communing with the spirits of the deceased and using them to bolster Optimus Prime as he struggled against [[Unicron's creator]] in [[infraspace]]. When the battle had been won, Superion rejoined Metroplex and the other heroes as the assembled Cybertronians gazed out at their new homeworld. {{storylink|Ceremony}}

In response, the Aerialbots separated and re-combined at ground level, where Superion could safely roll into the Decepticons' legs and defeat them. Unfortunately he couldn't ''stop'', and was still rolling off into the distance even as [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] was trying to thank him. {{storylink|Kre-O Micro-Changers Combiners comic}}

When [[King Sombra]] was unleashed on Cybertron, he cast his mind-control spell on the Aerialbots, enthralling them to his will. When they combined into Superion, the result was the combiner being singularly focused on enforcing Sombra's will. When Superion began beating down the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], [[Spike (MLP)|Spike]] appealed to the individuality of each Aerialbot, allowing them to break free of Sombra's control and decombining. {{storylink|The Mightiest Dinobot}}

:Superion is formed out of all five Aerialbot toys, with [[Silverbolt (G1)/toys#Toys|Silverbolt]] serving as the central body component, and the four smaller team members as limbs, using additional attachments for Superion's hands and feet. A helmet covers Silverbolt's head and a red waist plate attaches onto his chest piece. He carries Silverbolt's [[electrostatic discharger rifle]], though his own [[bio]] describes his weapon as a "[[stress fracture cannon]]". As a "Scramble City"-style combiner, Superion's limbs are fully interchangeable; any of his limb-components, or any members of the other compatible combiner teams, are able to form either an arm or leg for the giant.

:Due to Silverbolt forming his torso, his design weaknesses are carried over to Superion. Additionally, as Silverbolt has rather thin legs, this leads to Superion having very thin thighs. His height coupled with the weight of his limbs can make Superion lean back, putting stress upon Silverbolt's weak and flimsy waist hinges.

:Along with Metroplex, Menasor, Bruticus, and Defensor, Superion was designed for an aborted ''[[Diaclone]]'' subline that would have been called ''[[Diaclone#Jizai Gattai|Jizai Gattai]]'' (自在合体 "Limitless Combination"), which was shelved to make way for the ''Transformers'' line. Based on the extent to which the combination process detailed in Superion's patent design<ref>[http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=O1Y8AAAAEBAJ&dq Patent #JP61-115590]</ref> differs from the finished toy (to say nothing of the fact that Silverbolt appears as a fighter jet like the other Aerialbots, rather than a passenger plane), it is fair to assume that he was the first "Scramble City"-style combiner to be designed.

:In his original release year of 1986, Superion's five Aerialbot components could be purchased either individually, or in a [[giftset]]. The individual Aerialbots were later reissued in [[Europe]] as part of the ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' series in 1990, and were offered as mail-in promotional figures in [[Japan]] during 1991's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Return of Convoy (toyline)|Return of Convoy]]'' line.

:Artwork for an unmade Superion [[Action Master]] was featured in ''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]''. As with all Action Masters, this non-transforming figurine of Superion was based on a combination of his animation model and his toy, and would have been armed with a gun and a winged jetpack. Superion would have been included with a motorcycle based on [[Prowl (G1)/toys|Prowl]]'s [[Turbo Cycle (G1)|Turbo Cycle]] that combined with Superion's accessories to form a gun emplacement he could have manned.

**''Accessories:'' Head, left & right fists, left & right feet, "blast shield" chest plate, "deflector shield" waist plate, Silverbolt's "electrostatic discharger rifle", 2 missile launchers, 3 missiles, ramp, small Aerialbots' individual guns

:As part of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', Superion was [[redeco]]ed in colours deemed popular in products of the time, or something like that. Silverbolt's white is replaced by light blue, Slingshot is gold, Fireflight a much darker red, Skydive silver and Air Raid blue. In addition to still wielding Silverbolt's handgun, Superion was now armed with two spring-loaded missile launchers that came with Silverbolt, which he could either carry in his fists, or could mount jauntily on his hips by plugging into ports on Silverbolt's wings.

:Because Slingshot is so notorious for having [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]] you might be better off not merging this guy at all. Or throw [[Afterburner (G1)|Afterburner]] in there as a limb. Or even paint a G1 Slingshot gold and add the G2 decals. That might work better, yeah.

:Unlike his original release, ''Generation 2'' Superion was only available by purchasing all five Aerialbots separately.

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Superion is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Superion Maximus]], formed from his components in the classic "Scramble City" manner, with individual multi-configuration energon weapons forming a hand or foot for each of his limbs. Although most of the original Aerialbot [[character]]s return in this set, [[Airazor (Universe)#Toys|Airazor]] replaces [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]]; while the brief character description on the back of the box fits Slingshot, Hasbro [[Hasbro Q&A/October 2009: Answers|stated in a Q&A session]] that Airazor is a new character designed "in memorium" {{sic}}. Superion's components suffer some mostly [[for safety reasons|safety-related]] [[mold]] changes, including the severe blunting of Air Raid and Airazor's nosecones.

:Like the simultaneously released [[Bruticus (G1)#Universe (2008)|Bruticus Maximus]], Superion was initially intended as a ''Universe'' [[Target]] [[exclusive]], but these plans were cancelled in favor of releasing the toy in the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline instead, now representing the separate character of [[Superion (ROTF)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Superion]] by this wiki's standards. A few non-American markets such as Australia and Singapore did receive the toy in ''Universe'' packaging, however, so it manages to make it onto this article.

{{toydesigner|[[Ed Masiello]] (Hasbro)}}

:One of the first [[Kreon]] [[Micro-Changer]] combiner sets. The four component Kreons, [[Silverbolt (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Silverbolt]], [[Air Raid (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Air Raid]], [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)/toys#Kre-O|Skydive]], and [[Fireflight (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Firestrike]], can be rebuilt into their alternate modes. They can also be rebuilt into Superion by taking them apart and combining their pieces.

:[[Slingshot (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Quickslinger]] can be combined with Superion if you have any sense of creativity.

:Like the entire Micro Changer combiner sets, Superion comes with only one Kre-O display brick, and a sticker sheet composed of his leg detailing & a Kre-O logo. Due to the leg stickers being slightly transparent, applying them into the black-colored leg parts can render the details being semi-transparent. The instructions also did not mention on where you should put the Kre-O logo sticker. Also, Superion's combined mode's waist part is somehow prone to falling off from the assembly while posing, and he has a problem standing straight due to how the legs are constructed.

:Superion happens to be the only Wave 1 Micro-Changer Combiner who doesn't need 'flak jacket' parts on any of his components. Even Quickslinger (who's not included in this set) doesn't have one, because Superion is ''that'' awesome.

:Released under the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[subline imprint|subline]], ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Superion is new combiner consisting of a set of new sculpts, namely a Voyager Class leader/torso ([[Silverbolt (G1)/toys#Generations|Silverbolt]]) and four Deluxe Class limbs, each sold separately. Initially, new member [[Alpha Bravo#Toys|Alpha Bravo]] replaced Slingshot and was released as part of the general retail Deluxe Class assortment in the same [[wave]] as teammates [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)/toys#Generations|Skydive]] and "[[Fireflight (G1)/toys#Generations|Firefly]]" (Fireflight renamed for [[trademark]] reasons). [[Air Raid (G1)/toys#Generations|Air Raid]], a [[retool]] of Skydive, was released in the subsequent wave. Designed in the "Scramble City" style, they can, once again, be combined into Superion, with each Deluxe alternatively serving as an arm or a leg. Each comes with a double-barrelled gun that can transform into either a foot or a fist to complete the limb, dubbed a "hand/foot/gun" (or "HFG" for short) by fans. The toys' packaging places Skydive and Air Raid as the left and right arms and Firefly and Alpha Bravo as the left and right legs. On top of that, the concurrently released Legends Class [[Powerglide (G1)/toys#Generations|Powerglide]] has a third "weapon" mode, which can be held by Superion, using Powerglide's front landing gear as a handle; unfortunately, his overall weight makes it largely impossible for him to be held by any combiner in a firing pose without falling over or pulling the arm down.

:As Air Raid was not released part of the first wave, the figures' instructions and packaging depicted [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Decepticon Dragstrip]] in his place as right arm, while one of Superion's two [[Stock photography|stock photos]] [[:File:Generationstoy superion.jpg|depicted him with a second Firefly as his other arm]]. The individual numbering the figures received, however, made it clear that a fifth Aerialbot would be coming in later waves to complete the "proper" Superion formation. Even ''later'' than that, "[[Slingshot (G1)/toys#Generations|Quickslinger]]" (Slingshot renamed for trademark reasons similar to "Firefly") was announced and subsequently released as part of a "shared online exclusive" promotion named "May Mayhem", serving as an alternate limb for Superion and completing the original Aerialbot roster.

:Oddly, the hand-painted [[prototype]] of Superion on display at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 featured some coloring and detailing differences from the final product that are unique to that one sample. Even the hand painted prototype used for early [[stock photography|stock photos]] is closer to the final figure. Notably, Superion's hips (which are formed out of Silverbolt's shoulders) were painted ''red'', with the trapezoid sections in the center painted silver. Another difference shared with the prototype from the stock photos is that the Autobot insignia on the side of his chest was smaller and colored red with a white outline, rather than entirely white.

:Unlike the original ''Generation 1'' toy, ''Combiner Wars'' Superion is designed to have his legs attached with the aircraft fuselage facing forward as opposed to backwards. While the legs can be attached backwards to achieve a look similar to the G1 design, Silverbolt's fists necessitate untabbing the nose cones (or in Alpha Bravo's case, his tailfin) in order to fit, in addition to the fact doing so will rob Superion of his functional knees.

:As a part of the first and second wave promotion in Hasbro's Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s and [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]]s was given out when purchasing any four Deluxe Class toys from those waves. As such, Superion was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-generations-combiner-wars-free-g1-sticker-sheet-with-tru-singapore/32469/ Aerialbot and Stunticon sticker promotion on Seibertron.com]</ref> These sticker sheets did not include stickers for Quickslinger or Powerglide, however.

Though [[Slingshot (G1)/toys#CWG2|Quickslinger]] doesn't seem to crumble like [[Slingshot (G1)/toys#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' Slingshot]] did, there are scattered reports of [[Silverbolt (G1)/toys#CWG2|Silverbolt]] having some breakage problems due to his thin combiner head joint.

:He is a thing of glorious, [[Neon|eye-searing]] 90's beauty.

:Similar to the "May Mayhem" single release of [[Slingshot (G1)/toys#|Quickslinger]], the Superion "Collection Pack" was also a "shared exclusive" between various online retailers and the online storefronts of major "big box" retailers in the United States, but was available at general retail in Hasbro's Asian markets.

*'''Superion''' (1986, [[1993]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''W-1'''
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Matsuda]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Superion was one of three characters released as digital watches in Japan by Takara in 1986 to promote the [[Scramble City (toyline)|''Scramble City'' toyline]] (the others being [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] & [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]]). Cross-promoted in [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (manga)|''TV Magazine''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s manga]] as a [[wrist-communicator]] ([[#Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers comic|see above]]), "Watchbot" (ウォッチボット) Superion is a small representation of the combiner with a clock in his chest. With the push of a lever he "transformed" into a full tiny figure complete with legs, standing up on the watch band. The figure cannot be removed from the watch, but the arms do rotate.

:Takara originally planned a North American release of the Superion watch toy in 1986 and photographs of it were shown in their 1986 US product catalog. For unknown reasons, its intended 1986 release in the US was cancelled.

:Superion and the other watches were later re-released in 1993 as part of an expanded line of Transformers watches that was sold directly in North America by Takara as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' merchandise.

Like all figures in the series, Superion was sold in a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] box with fizzy "ramune" candy, and featured a main body was made of hard red plastic, with soft grey PVC limbs articulated at the hips and shoulders.

*'''Superion''' (1986)
:Later in 1986, in the third ''Ramune'' wave, Superion was among the characters immortalized as a soft rubber figurine, known as a ''keshigomu'' in Japan. He was available in either red, blue or yellow colors, and as before, came blindpacked with ramune candy. While similar to the separate range of ''keshigomu'' figures released by Takara that would later be imported by Hasbro as part of their [[Decoy]] promotion, Superion and his wave-mates saw no American release.

:Superion was also part of the small ''[[Forms Robo]]'' collection of larger ''keshigomu'', with this chunkier version of the character standing at around twice the height of his ''Ramune'' figure.

==Notes==
[[File:Metrodome TFTheMovie DVD.jpg|thumb|Me Superion... BADASS!]]
[[File:Superion-prototype-collage.jpeg|thumb|]]
* 'Superion' is a partial Latinization of {{w|Hyperion (mythology)|Hyperion}} (Ὑπερίων), the name of a Titan in Greek mythology associated with the sun. The fully Latinized form would be 'Superio'. If following classical pronunciation, the last syllable of 'Superion' should be pronounced 'own', not 'on'.
* Marvel UK is notable in how it ''really'' ran with Superion's tech spec, and its description of him having limited, "kill the enemy" mentality and being a "fierce and frightful machine". Of the four times he appeared in UK strips, ''three'' times have him turning out to be an uncontrollable threat (and the other time was a dream sequence!).
* Superion appears on the cover of [[Metrodome]]'s 2003 edition of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' but he isn't in it. Yay...
* A preliminary or alternative packaging mural by Takara for 1985 featuring many oddities (such as the [[Burn Out (Diaclone)|black Honda City Turbo]]), includes the preliminary design for Superion (at right).
{{--}}

===Character models and appearance===
[[File:WarDawn superion combination.jpg|thumb|Everyone remembers Silverbolt, but does anyone remember that jet dude, the other jet dude, that jet guy, and Aerialbot #5? I think not!]]
* Being made up of very similar-looking planes did not help Superion when it came to firmly establishing which member of the team formed which of his limbs. Unlike the other combiner teams, with their unique modes and shapes, when simplified down for Superion's [[character model]], the Aerialbots' limb forms are essentially identical, differentiated only by color, which in turn made errors very easy to make as well (as you can see from our sampling of Marvel Comics images). Broadly speaking, most depictions of Superion—the Generation 1 cartoon paramount among them—replicate his appearance as seen in his box art. In an odd quirk, however, the team's combination sequence in the cartoon would often show the individual members moving into position in accordance with the toy's ''instructions''—Fireflight and Slingshot as the legs, and Air Raid and Skydive as the arms—only for them to change colors to match the "box art" layout at the moment of linking up, as shown in the sequence from "[[War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn]]" illustrated at right.
** Japanese media was a little more thorough on this, with "[[Scramble City: Mobilization]]" animating the combination in much more detail that clearly showed the correct Aerialbots moving into place, and a diagram in [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 5|issue #5]] of the ''[[TV Magazine]]'' comic labeling the limbs as such. However, that did not stop [[Studio OX]] from creating a mix-and-match Superion model that made Slingshot and Air Raid the arms, and Fireflight and Skydive the legs which they used through their works, and which you see at the head of this article.
* In terms of animation, Superion has an ''astonishingly'' inconsistent character model. The colors on his arms and legs leap and jump about all over the place—they're ''vaguely'' consistent, in that, uh, the right arm is mostly red and the left arm is mostly white, but the specific details are constantly shifting around from shot to literal shot. The same goes for the boxes on the fronts of his legs, and it's a toss-up whether or not they'll remember to color in his black "shorts" or not. Check out our screen captures in the cartoon sections of this article—literally no two are alike!
** But it's hard to blame the animators when his character model is as badly drawn as it is, with various areas of impenetrable visual gibberish around his gun, torso, and left shoulder that don't seem able to logically exist in three-dimensional space. In particular, his rifle is so clumsily drawn that it has become a forearm-mounted cannon, leading to nearly all material that uses the model illustrating it the same way.
** If his model wasn't baffling enough, the wings on his left forearm are positioned differently between the front and back views. From the front, the wings appear to be folded against his arm, but from the back, they are drawn wide open. As this was a similar issue with Fireflight's character model, the animators would often draw the wings on that arm in both configurations from scene to scene. Fireflight's left arm also appears to be missing from Superion's model.
* Superion's appearance varies in media. The Generation 1 toy's head has a sculpted mouth which is absent in most depictions, replaced by a boxy [[mouthplate]]. Studio Ox and various Japanese illustrations retain the mouth and colored the face silver. The ''Combiner Wars'' version of Superion splits the difference, keeping the faceplate but painting it silver.
