Since many of their Titan's systems were spread out and integrated into this new civilization, the inhabitants of the civilization he founded named their planet in his honor. <br /> <br /> Cut off from Cybertron and stranded on their resource-poor world, the Camiens developed a culture of conservation and careful energy husbandry. Camien warriors rely on swords instead of using consumption-heavy ranged weaponry. Caminus would also give rise to the [[Cityspeaker]]s, a tradition of communicating with dormant Titans.<br /> <br /> Caminus also hosts a flourishing artistic and spiritual community, in spite of its straitened infrastructure. Chief among them is the [[Way of Flame]], a religion that deifies [[Primus]] and the [[Thirteen]], extoling [[Solus Prime]] as the spiritual progenitor of Caminus and the greatest of the Thirteen. This religion is headed by the [[Mistress of Flame]], the spiritual leader of the planet. Most Camiens are fanatically devoted to the lineage of the Primes, viewing even [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|modern Primes]] as gods to be worshipped and followed without question. But in the absence of any actual Prime to issue commands, the [[Forgefire Parliament]] oversees the colony. Even so, the Parliament is quick to default to the commands of the Mistress of Flame or a Prime should the opportunity arise.<br /> <br /> The term for things relating to Caminus is '''Camien'''.<br /> <br /> {{quote|On my colony, on Caminus, we were so cold, so alone. The Primes so distant. To learn one is real – alive...|[[Midnight Express (RID)|Midnight Express]]|&quot;[[New Cybertron Part 1: To Walk Among the Chosen|To Walk Among the Chosen]]&quot;}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Generation 1 continuity family===<br /> ====2005 IDW continuity====<br /> [[File:Windblade1 Caminus.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.95|The Titan Caminus, seen here shortly after leaving Cybertron.]]<br /> <br /> Circa twelve million years ago, Caminus was one of the twelve &quot;colony Titans&quot; who departed [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in the hopes of establishing [[Pax Cybertronia]] across the galaxy. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}} Caminus travelled through space and eventually settled on a small moon in a distant star system; using the [[hot spot (phenomenon)|hot spot]] within his body, Caminus established a new outpost of Transformer civilization. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}} New [[Spark]]s that emerged from this hot spot were nurtured in facilities like the [[Lighthouse]], which also trained medical workers like [[blacksmith]]s. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 4: Bad Moon Rising|Bad Moon Rising}} While [[female Transformer]]s went extinct on Cybertron for reasons unknown, Caminus, like the other Cybertronian colony worlds, retained a civilization where both male and female Transformers coexisted. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}}<br /> <br /> To ensure the colony's survival as it grew, Caminus allowed himself to be disassembled and spread across the planet. Caminus's intact [[brain module]] survived, however, and in order to interpret his jumbled thoughts the Camiens developed the tradition known as &quot;[[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]],&quot; with some of their number painting their faces in honor of Caminus. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}} {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} The citizens of Caminus grew to develop a religion known as the [[Way of Flame]], which deified the [[Thirteen]] and extolled [[Solus Prime]] as the greatest among them. Camiens believed that they were descended from Solus, and that they each possessed a portion of her spark. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} The colony grew to have an appreciation of the arts to such an extent that scientific fields such as medicine were considered secondary concerns. As a result of the dominant religion, Camiens were expected to find [[Amica Endura]]e within ten megacycles of their creation or become essentially ''persona non grata'' within society. {{storylink|The Frail Gaze}} In this prosperous age, the Camiens developed ties with nearby planets, including a nearby [[Mederi]] center. {{storylink|An Axe to Break the Ice}}<br /> <br /> Some 600,000 years ago, [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]] launched a sample of [[Ore-4]] at Caminus. {{storylink|Shockwaves}} {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}}<br /> <br /> Approximately five hundred years ago, the Cybertronian adventurer [[Anode]] discovered Caminus and took up residence on the planet, training in a Lighthouse facility as a blacksmith. When her overconfidence led her to fail a delicate operation, she fled Caminus in shame. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 4: Bad Moon Rising|Bad Moon Rising}}<br /> <br /> At some point after this, Caminus detected a Cybertronian distress beacon emanating from the planet [[Antilla]], and sent a ship to make contact with their ancestors. When the delegates arrived, they found that the planet was ruled by Onyx Prime and his [[Maximal]]s, who killed [[Magrada|one of them]] while the other two fled. By the time the ship returned home, Caminus had begun to suffer energy shortages caused by their dwindling sun and decreasing resources. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of Primes}}<br /> <br /> To cope, the Camiens developed a low-energy lifestyle, adjusting their Sparks to run on a &quot;lower frequency&quot; to conserve [[energon]] and causing their energon to appear bright blue in color compared to the purple of their ancestors. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} To conserve fuel, Camiens eschewed &quot;wasteful&quot; energy weapons in favor of melee weapons. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade #3}} The energy crisis caused a shift in their civilization, with pioneering Camiens establishing shantytowns in the wastelands in the hopes of striking a vein of usable energon. {{storylink|Ghost Stories}} One such town, [[Parvus Oppidum]], was attacked by Onyx Prime and his [[Maximal]]s shortly afterwards {{storylink|Ghost Stories}} so they could acquire a sample of Ore-4. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}} The [[Mistress of Flame]] subsequently covered up the attack. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}}<br /> <br /> In the mid-19th century, a Camien expeditionary vessel containing a cargo of [[protoform]]s ran afoul of the anti-mechanoid [[Galactic Council]]. Given Caminus's isolation from the larger galaxy, they were ignorant of the hatred their Cybertronian ancestors had incurred. The ship was shot down in the [[Gray Area]], and the [[Stardrive|sole surviving protoform]] was rescued by [[Rom]]. {{storylink|Shining Armor issue 1|Shining Armor #1}}<br /> <br /> Shortly after the end of the Cybertronian [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], the [[Autobot]] [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]] discovered Caminus. Hoping to establish a link with Cybertron so that their ancestral homeworld could rescue their dying colony from certain death, the Mistress of Flame sent [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] and [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]] on this task. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}} {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} Some months later, Windblade and [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] were able to repair Metroplex's [[space bridge]] so that it could link with the one on Caminus. Unfortunately, Cybertron's ruler [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] had his own ideas; seeking to set himself up as the head of a new Cybertronian empire, he recruited [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] to stage an attack on Caminus; when Menasor invaded, {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} Caminus attempted to alert his Cityspeakers about the [[Enigma of Combination]] that had created the [[combiner]], but they were unable to interpret his garbled warnings. Starscream then deloyed [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] to defeat the Decepticons, hoping to set himself up as a hero in the eyes of the populace. <br /> <br /> Following the attack, Windblade met with the [[Forgefire Parliament]] in order to determine responsibility for the tragedy. As Cybertron was the cause of the attack, the Parliament decreed that Cybertron must make reparations, and demanded an explanation from Cybertron's official ruler, Starscream. Starscream complied, but diplomacy was interrupted by the arrival of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], who demonstrated his possession of half of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] before the [[Mistress of Flame]] and the assembled Camiens. As a living Prime holding an artifact of Solus Prime, Optimus was essentially a god to the residents of Caminus, and his authority quickly overshadowed Starscream's. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} A number of Cybertronians, primarily Decepticons, went to Caminus to help with disaster relief, and said Decepticons were confused to find that the Camiens were glad to see them. <br /> <br /> Thanks to sneaky PR moves by Optimus, Starscream was forced to announce a [[Council of Worlds]] where Caminus and the [[Republic of Cybertron]] would both have an equal voice. {{storylink|The Possible Light}} The first meeting to arrange it fell into problems over how the Council would be governed when Windblade and Starscream were the only two representatives so far. The Camiens were happy to accept Optimus Prime as the tiebreaker, which Starscream wrote off because he knew the Camiens would ''always'' vote his way and give Prime ''de facto'' control—only he wanted Cybertron to have ''de facto'' control instead. The arrival of a Prowl-controlled [[Devastator (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Devastator]] on Caminus, trying to force Cybertron to cut ties with the planet, resulted in another bloody combiner fight on the poor planet and the first Council of Worlds decision: Prowl would be imprisoned on Caminus before facing trial for crimes under both planet's laws. Starscream followed this up by agreeing to station a combiner on the colony, increasing his control over it as feared. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}}<br /> <br /> Prowl was clear that Caminus was going to be soft-conquered and Windblade and Optimus couldn't stop it, so he went with Plan B: arranging a Menasor breakout and an invasion of Decepticons into Caminus, believing a &quot;better life&quot; was there, which saw the space bridge damaged. Before the combiners were warped off Caminus, the locals were aghast that this was happening ''for a third damn time''. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}}<br /> <br /> After the end of the &quot;[[Combiner Wars (event)|Combiner Wars]]&quot;, Caminus became a member of the [[Council of Worlds]]. {{storylink|All That Remains}} Many of its citizens chose to immigrate to Cybertron. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade vol. 2 #4}} Following the annexation of Earth into the Council of Worlds, Optimus Prime and [[Aileron]] travelled to Caminus to meet with the Mistress of Flame. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}}<br /> <br /> When a swarm of undead [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s were detected on course for Cybertron, the sick and wounded were evacuated via spacebridge to Caminus. {{storylink|Ping}} In the aftermath, the Mistress of Flame attempted to have Chromia released into Camien custody. Starscream refused prompting the Mistress to ask for Swindle and the Stunticons instead as the two had yet to answer for their crimes against the colony. {{storylink|Heavy}}<br /> <br /> Soon afterwards, Windblade revealed to the public that &quot;Carcer&quot; was in fact [[Vigilem]] and that he had freed [[Liege Maximo]] before he died. As a result of this open defiance, the Mistress subsequently banished Windblade from Caminus, becoming the planet's permanent representative on the Council. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}<br /> <br /> Following Shockwave's defeat and capture, {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}} his Maximals took off in [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]] to join forces with [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], their flight being tracked with [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]]. Though unable to save [[Devisiun (planet)|Devisiun]], Prowl managed to extrapolate that Nemesis was heading for Caminus, relaying the information to Optimus Prime and encouraging him to bait a trap for the Chaos Bringer there. The Council of Worlds made the heavy decision to sacrifice Caminus so Optimus could enter Unicron and destroy him from within. {{storylink|Unstopped and Unstoppable}} <br /> <br /> When Unicron arrived in Camien orbit, he and his army were met by a massive [[Autobot fleet]]. Although the Mistress of Flame perished against the Chaos Bringer's Maximal army, her sacrifice allowed the Autobots and their allies the time needed to safely evacuate the population to Cybertron even as Unicron devoured the colony for its Ore-4. {{storylink|Last Stand (Unicron)|Last Stand}} When Unicron later destroyed Cybertron, the Camiens were teleported to [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Road's End}}<br /> <br /> ====''Titans Return'' marketing material====<br /> [[File:PowerOfTheTitanMasters-Caminus.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]<br /> Caminus was the possible location of one of thirteen [[Titan (group)|Titans]], alongside [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Unicron]], [[Master (planet)|Dominius]], [[Nebulos]], [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]], [[Antilla]], [[Paradron]], [[Earth]], [[Velocitron]], [[Biosfera]], [[Aquatron]], [[Botropolis]], [[Micro|Micron]], and [[Gigantion]].&lt;ref&gt;[[:File:TR_Titan_Force_map.jpg|''Titans Return'' Titan Force 3-pack map]]&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> On Caminus, [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]], and [[Stripes]] battled [[Skullcruncher (G1)|Skullsmasher]], [[Grax]], and [[Horri-Bull|Rot-Gut]], who were attempting to abscond with stolen codes. {{storylink|Titans Return: The Power of the Titan Masters}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====''Combiner Wars'' cartoon====<br /> [[File:TheFall-Caminus.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]<br /> The brawling [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] warped to Caminus via orbital [[space bridge]]. They fell onto the planet and caused mass destruction as they landed; though Menasor killed Computron, he himself was slain by Windblade. {{storylink|The Fall}}<br /> <br /> ====''Beast Wars: Uprising''====<br /> The [[Book of Logos]] identified &quot;Caminus&quot; as one of seven colonies. {{storylink|Book of Logos}}<br /> <br /> ====''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon====<br /> Chromia hailed from Caminus. {{storylink|Siege episode 3}}<br /> <br /> ===''Animated'' cartoon continuity===<br /> Caminus was a robotic planet within the territory of the [[Autobot Commonwealth]]. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The Complete AllSpark Almanac|The Complete AllSpark Almanac}}<br /> <br /> ===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===<br /> The Cityspeaker [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] hailed from Caminus, {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} as did her compatriot [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> *[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/caminus Caminus's name] is Latin for forge—[[Solus Prime|an appropriate name]].<br /> *Caminus appears to be the moon of a gas giant, but for ease of bookkeeping, this wiki categorizes it as a &quot;planet&quot;.<br /> *Due to Caminus being used to officially introduce genuine female Transformers into the [[2005 IDW continuity|2005-2018 IDW continuity]], it is often thought by fans to be a planet populated solely, or largely, by female Transformers.

They are common on Transformers who have a relatively low foot surface area whose point-of-contact is concentrated somewhere forward of the ankle joint.<br /> <br /> This arrangement allows a Transformer greater dynamic stability by re-locating the ankle joints away from the center-of-balance axis, and reduces wear on the ankles by allowing the foot to flex before absorbing an impact. Heel struts can increase the leverage afforded by the ankle joints by distributing the pressure over a larger area, dramatically increasing a Transformer's static stability without the need for big, clunky feet.<br /> <br /> Heel struts are more common on Transformers with small frames or a high center of gravity. It has been noted that a disproportionate number of [[female Transformer]]s have heel struts... but female Transformers also tend to have smaller frames and lack the big clunky feet of [[Swindle (G1)|many male Transformers]]. Of course, some [[Scrapper_(G1)|male characters]] '''[[Devastator_(G1)|are]]''' heel struts, so maybe that balances it out.<br /> <br /> <br /> Heel struts should not be confused with reverse articulated knees or triple-jointed legs, both of which feature the forward-canted foot, but typically lack the stabilizing strut behind it.<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Prime'' cartoon===<br /> When the Autobots were trying to figure out how MECH built [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|Nemesis Prime]], Ratchet said that [[MECH]] disassembled [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] &quot;from [[cranial chamber]] to heel-strut&quot;. {{storylink|Nemesis Prime (episode)|Nemesis Prime}}<br /> <br /> [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] once called [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] 'the stiletto-heeled freak'. {{storylink|New Recruit}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Transformer anatomy]]</div> LittleAutobot1218 https://tfwiki.duckdns.org/index.php?title=User:LittleAutobot1218&diff=1413106 User:LittleAutobot1218 2020-05-23T02:10:45Z <p>LittleAutobot1218: </p> <hr /> <div>~ Welcome to my corner of this world... its the corner of a femme Transfan. ~<br /> <br /> <br /> Hi!

This has resulted in something of a rivalry stewing between him and [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]], and if there's any criticism to be made of his fellow recruits, Wedge will be the one to make it, though he'll usually regret it soon after. Despite being an arrogant member of his class, Wedge shares Blades' fanboy attitude towards Autobot legend [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], and perhaps in a few attempts to follow in the former scout's footsteps, he shares Bee's sense of responsibility, such as properly recycling trash instead of careless disposal.<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===''Rescue Bots Academy'' cartoon===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Mason Hensley]] (English)|[[Jacopo Calatroni]] (Italian)}}<br /> [[File:IfAtFirst Wedge power fist.jpg|thumb|left|290px| &quot;Look at the size of that thing!&quot;]]<br /> Wedge won a rescue competition to earn himself a spot studying at the [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] on [[Earth]]. He started an instant rivalry with Hot Shot when the latter was assigned to the team of new recruits by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. Once [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] screwed up the first rescue drill, Wedge challenged him to a simple stacking contest and easily won. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} Hot Shot went on to win an obstacle course race against Wedge and revealed that Optimus had given him the ability to use three alternate modes, though Wedge was still unimpressed, beliving it was the bot and not their abilities that made for a good rescuer. Nonetheless when Hot Shot later realized that the jet mode he was stuck with for the day was useless for the cave rescue exercise they'd been assigned, Wedge joined the others in encouraging him not to give up. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}} Wedge and the other recruits got to meet Blades when the copter-bot was brought in to help tutor Hot Shot in the art of flying, and later took part in a forest fire rescue. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}}<br /> <br /> Following a particularly tricky rescue, [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] constructed new tools for everyone, including power drivers for Wedge. The first test didn't go well, but Wedge and the others enlisted [[Boulder]] to give Hoist some encouragement and help perfect the tools. {{storylink|If at First...}} After Hot Shot was assigned to look after [[Tough Luck Chuck]] when the test robot was damaged, Wedge and [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] found Chuck roaming the training center. He slipped through their fingers as well and got through the [[GroundBridge]], forcing the recruits to search for him in [[Milford]]. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Bored by Chase's class on police codes, Wedge and the other recruits persuaded Chase to let them try to do a practice rescue, and ended up being rescued themselves by [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] when they got stuck in the snow. {{storylink|Whirl'd View}} When the recruits didn't understand why Boulder was having them plant flowers, the Rescue Bot set them a task which taught them that all parts of nature are important. {{storylink|Plan Bee}}<br /> <br /> [[File:MissionInaudible Wedge rides on Hot Shot.jpg|thumb|right|310px| &quot;That's it! No more droids! I'm flying solo!&quot;]]<br /> Aiming to get the response time of the group down, Wedge borrowed the trigger for the rescue alarm and ran a series of drills, annoying his fellow recruits and eventually resulting in him ending up trapped in one of the launch tubes. He returned the alarm to Heatwave. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}} The recruits had to contend with a runaway rock sculpture of Hot Shot's head when he decided to carve it into a mountain alongside the likenesses of the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} Hot Shot and Wedge ended up disregarding Hoist when their fellow recruit was put in charge of a rescue mission, and as a result, their own efforts almost ended up in disaster. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} After completing a simulated rescue, despite a glitch occuring, the recruits took part in a real rescue in Griffin Rock which was only successful because the glitch gave [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] an idea to complete it safely. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}}<br /> <br /> During a ride on the ''[[Sigma]]'', Wedge realized there were only four command chairs and told the others that meant that one of the five recruits wouldn't graduate. The team went on to botch a volcano rescue drill after staying up all night worrying, until Heatwave told them they'd assumed wrong. {{storylink|Five into Four}} When Whirl was filming footage for a recruitment video, Wedge attempted to give a demonstration of Hero Hall, only to be swamped by a tidal wave. He and the others later helped whip the footage into a usable state. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} After a botched rescue had the recruits blaming each other, Heatwave assigned them to cleaning duties. Hot Shot sneaked out to do a rescue, and as a result, the rest of the recruits had to go help him when he hit trouble. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Wedge and the other recruits set up a surprise rescue mission for Medix, who didn't get the appeal of surprises. Unfortunately the mission did not go well, and the other recruits promised to stop with the surprises. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}<br /> <br /> The recruits got to try out some [[TX3000]]s on loan to the rescue center, and even used them during an actual rescue. {{storylink|The TX3000}} They had to round up a lost flock of sheep, but were hampered by Hoist malfunctioning. {{storylink|Little Bot Peep}} When there was a rumour there would be a guest at the academy, Wedge assumed it would be [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], however it turned out to be [[Wes]], a [[Lad Pioneer|Teen Pioneer]]. Wedge avoided spending time with Wes, believing he didn't have much to offer as a rescuer, until he discovered he was Wes's favorite Rescue Bot. {{storylink|Driving a Wedge}} Boulder accompanied the recruits to the planet [[Parvus]] where they rescued the last surviving [[Galax]]. {{storylink|The Big, Small Rescue}}<br /> <br /> [[File:BattleOfTheBots Wedge vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|left|300px|“That’s the sun, Wedge. It’s after dawn.” &lt;br/&gt; “Well, it offends me. Turn it off.”]]<br /> Wedge challenged Hot Shot to a competition, putting his [[Heroes of Cybertron (cards)|Heroes of Cybertron]] cards on the line as a prize. When Hot Shot won the construction challenge, Wedge was demoralized, believing there was no way he'd win the [[Cube (sport)|Cube]] challenge, however his friends encouraged him to try, and he indeed won. The two bots decided to keep it as a tie, and Hoist presented them with custom cards. {{storylink|Battle of the Bots}} When an alien rock went missing, Wedge cast suspicion on Hot Shot, but the rock turned out to be a small alien, which the recruits then had to round up so it could be sent home. {{storylink|About a Rock}} The recruits tried to keep secret the fact a dog had followed them home after the last rescue, only to discover that the dog was actually trying to alert them to the fact they'd missed someone who needed rescuing. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Wedge took part in the rescue of [[Dr Hart]] from a rogue iceberg. After Hot Shot realized that he didn't need the [[Rubber Ducky|Rubber Duck]] Cody had loaned him, Wedge still thought it prudent to bring the duck with them on the next rescue. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}}<br /> <br /> Whirl tried to get Wedge and the other recruits into cheerleading, but it wasn't until they employed the skills they'd learned during a rescue that they were enthusiastic about it. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} When Boulder assigned the recruits the task of familiarizing themselves with smartphones, they became addicted to the devices and began neglecting their chores and rescue work. {{storylink|Screen Time}} During a field trip to the museum in Milford, Wedge and the other bots helped Whirl apprehend a thief who'd turned up to burgle the place. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}<br /> <br /> [[File:AllAtSea Wedge facepalm.jpg|thumb|right|280px | When your teammates are being ridiculous.]]<br /> When the ''Sigma'' returned to base without the teachers, the recruits had to take the ship and go to their rescue, though not without Hot Shot and Wedge fighting over who was temporary captain. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} Wedge excelled at collecting trash, resulting in Boulder placing him in charge for an undersea trash collection mission, during which the recruits had to rescue Medix from a shark. {{storylink|All at Sea}} Wedge and the other recruits had to deal with an out-of-control [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] after inserting too many power cells into it. {{storylink|All Washed Up}} When Heatwave suggested the recruits try their hands at teaching, Wedge attempted to demonstrate first aid on Chuck, only for Chuck to run off. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}}<br /> <br /> An attempt to rescue a balloon from a tree turned into a major disaster when the recruits went in without a plan. {{storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} A fantasy simulation saw the recruits trying to corral a dragon, until they worked out that the dragon was actually trying to help. {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} Yet another sim turned into chaos thanks to Hot Shot combining it with his game, forcing the recruits to deal with giant hedgehogs. {{storylink|Hack Attack}} Wedge and the other recruits found their rescues complicated by Medix's attempts to loosen up after they suggested he was a stick in the mud. {{storylink|Life of the Party}}<br /> <br /> The recruits were keen to be taught by new teacher [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] but discovered Hoist was afraid of Dinobots. {{storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} A trip to Dino Island hit a snag when a [[dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaur]] escaped back through the GroundBridge, disabling it in the process so Grimlock and the recruits had to make their own way back to the academy. {{storylink|Dino Hard}} Chase assigned the recruits a stealth mission and Wedge and Medix paired up to hunt through Griffin Rock for Chuck. Unfortunately before they could find him, they were caught by Chase. {{storylink|Buddy Cop}} Another mission saw the recruits having to rescue penguins from an island the hard way after an electrical storm knocked out their tools and even their ability to transform. {{storylink|Escape from Penguin Island}}<br /> <br /> [[File:TrickOrTreat Wedgeblebee.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]<br /> During a series of search and rescue missions, Wedge and the others were surprised to learn Hoist had cheated on one of the tests. {{storylink|All that Glitters}} During a mission to retrieve a downed satellite, Wedge had to interfere with [[Dig Fest (event)|Dig Fest]] to stop an out of control vehicle. Though the other recruits thought he'd succumbed to lure of fame when he agreed to take part in the show, in reality he'd spotted the satellite in the middle of the arena and used the show as a way to get close enough to grab it. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}} Wedge's attempts to duplicate Bumblebee's heroic rescue feats in the simulator were less than successful. When Cody introduced the recruits to the concept of [[Halloween]], Wedge donned a Bumblebee costume to go trick or treating, however after realizing that he couldn't do things the same way Bumblebee did, he took part in a rescue using his own skills. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}}<br /> <br /> Medix's confusion over a television commercial meant that the recruits had to mount a hasty coverup so he wouldn't blow their secret to all of Milford. {{Storylink|Monster Savings}} Wedge and the others got a tune stuck in their heads, impairing their performance on a training exercise. They managed to forget the tune, but this caused problems on a mission to the planet [[Herboo]], as it was the code needed for the [[Virtual Sonic Fence]] Hoist needed to use to stop the [[karknoid beetle]]. {{storylink|Tune Out}} A trip to survey a geyser field saw the recruits having to deal with a swarm of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}}<br /> <br /> [[File:FlyingHunkAJunk Wedge wedged.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]<br /> Wedge was equal parts thrilled and flustered when Bumblebee visited the academy for a teaching session. Determined to impress his hero, Wedge skipped out on the maintenance work Bumblebee was having them do and followed Bumblebee to Griffin Rock where he completely failed to achieve anything heroic. What's worse, without maintenance he suffered major failures during a later sim exercise and had to do the maintenance anyway. {{storylink|Bee Prepared}} When Whirl's failed attempts to do a maneuver led her to try to seek out the Wise One, the other recruits went after her and became trapped in a ravine, requiring her to rescue them using the maneuver she had been trying to perfect. {{storylink|Whirl's Wise-Bot Quest}} Wedge's conscientious recycling efforts were not duplicated by the other recruits, who simply threw all their recycling out. This resulted in a giant ball of junk threatening the satellite they were trying to fix and Wedge had to alter its course. He later enthusiastically joined his fellow recruits in sorting the trash. {{storylink|Flying Hunk-A-Junk}}<br /> <br /> Wedge and Medix were unsuccessful in directing a blindfolded Hot Shot through an obstacle course. A subsequent mission deep undersea forced the recruits to rely on each other as they rescued an automated drone from deep sea wildlife. {{storylink|Into the Depths}} Wedge was repairing roads with Hot Shot when the latter was distracted by dogs at a nearby farm. The pair were forced to mount a search when the dogs ran off as a result of Hoist's new comm system. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} The recruits struggled to complete a rescue sim until Hot Shot realized they'd been trying to stop the disaster instead of saving the people. {{storylink|The Ice Wave}}<br /> <br /> As graduation drew closer, the recruits successful competed against their teachers in a relay race carrying a pretend rescue victim. When Hot Shot opted to abandon his Rescue Bot training and return to Cybertron to compete in the Cube finals, Wedge slipped a group picture of the recruits into his luggage. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} The remaining recruits decided to tune in to the final using the space bridge to boost the holo-emitter screen. Unfortunately this led to the creation of a slowly growing energon bubble which engulfed the academy. It was only when Hot Shot returned that the recruits were able to burst the bubble. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> ===Rescue Bots Academy===<br /> [[File:RBA-Wedge-snowplow.jpg|thumb|upright=1.60|Unsuited for Hoth]]<br /> *'''Wedge the Construction-Bot''' (2018)<br /> <br /> : The first toy of Wedge is a redeco and slight retool of [[Boulder#Arctic|Arctic Rescue Boulder]] with a new head.

He knows the value of looking ''good'' and isn't afraid to let others know it. It's not simply his own lines he's interested in; he has an appreciation for well-built mechanical bodyforms of all sizes and functions... and a nasty penchant for tearing them apart after he's done admiring them. Slick, sly and snobbish, he's the Decepticons' medic, though he professes both a preference and proficiency for ''dis''-assembly. However, his medical skill has kept him in high demand; he's even performed vital and experimental surgeries on [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]. <br /> <br /> While not entirely a coward, Knock Out also knows a good thing or two about self-preservation. When the going gets tough, Knock Out gets going–the opposite direction. He has no qualms with abandoning ship if only to save his hide, even if it means betraying a comatose leader or deserting altogether. He doesn't get the most respect on the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'', either. Show him some kindness, and hey, maybe he'll stick by your side.<br /> <br /> Both in the operation room and on the battlefield, Knock Out typically works with his brutish partner [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]]. Knock Out is the speedster of the duo, swiftly striking his victim's vulnerables with his [[Energon prod]] in debilitating sneak attacks while Breakdown goes the &quot;massive smackdown&quot; route with his raw power.<br /> <br /> {{quote|I'm not only an automobile; I'm an automobile ''enthusiast''.|Knock Out explains to Starscream why he took his alternate mode|&quot;[[Speed Metal]]&quot;}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Cartoon continuity===<br /> ====''Prime'' cartoon====<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Daran Norris]] (English), [[Ernie Hudson]] (BotCon 2011), [[Yasunori Masutani]] (Japanese)|[[Hu Qian]] (Chinese), [[Alexander Kovriznyh]] (Russian), [[Diego Sabre]] (Italian), [[Stephan Rabow]] (German), [[Olivier Cuvellier]] (French), [[Milton Wolch]] (Latin American Spanish), [[Do-hyeong Nam]] (Korean), [[Marco Aurélio Campos]] (Portuguese), [[Kimmo Härmä]] (Finnish)}}<br /> <br /> [[File:TFPrime KnockOutDrill.JPG|left|thumb|upright=1.4|&quot;Prepare for valmorification!&quot;]]<br /> <br /> [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] called Knock Out and Breakdown to the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'' to help fix [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]. As they were on an [[energon]] trail at the time, only Knock Out initially turned up at the ship, and he was shocked at Megatron's condition. When Breakdown did join them, it was with news that he'd discovered an [[Energon Harvester]] was on [[Earth]]. As the [[Autobot]]s had already surrounded the museum the device was in, Knock Out and Breakdown organized a diversion at the front of the building. During the fight, Knock Out attacked [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] with his prod, but was flattened by [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] after the Autobot was punched by Breakdown. The two Decepticons sped off into the city after they saw that [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] had captured the Harvester. Knock Out subsequently accompanied Starscream and Breakdown to an energon seam in [[Greece]]. He and Breakdown got the opportunity to fight Bulkhead again, but came off decidedly second-best, and they both fled after the Harvester was destroyed and the other Autobots turned up. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}<br /> <br /> [[File:KnockOutvehiclemode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|The 2011 Stryker-Z.]]<br /> Knock Out took to engaging in street racing with the humans. On one occasion, a [[Fast Willy|hapless human]] who scratched his paint job was run off the road by the Decepticon. Despite Starscream's disapproval of his participation in such events, Knock Out continued to cruise around, looking for action, and was eventually drawn to a street race near [[Jasper]]. After the race started, he realized that one of the other cars taking part was [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and attacked the Autobot. He ended up grabbing what he assumed was Bumblebee's human pal, but was actually an unrelated human named [[Vince]]. Making off, he contacted Breakdown and they attempted to spring an ambush on the three Autobots who came to rescue the boy, but after [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] jumped on him, he decided to withdraw to avoid any more damage to his finish. Unfortunately he was caught by Optimus Prime, who ''ripped his door off'' while rescuing Vince. Faced with four Autobots, Knock Out fled back to the ''Nemesis'' only to face a very angry Starscream, who put a few more scratches in his finish. {{storylink|Speed Metal}}<br /> <br /> Starscream offered him a position as second-in-command if he helped convince Soundwave that they needed to humanely terminate Megatron. Knock Out tried his best, pointing out that the brain activity Megatron was displaying just meant their leader was in a dream state from which he might never wake up. Soundwave remained unconvinced, and after an Autobot incursion severed Megatron's life support, Knock Out was forced to reconnect it. The medic later reported to Starscream that, though Megatron's body lived on, his brain activity had ceased. {{storylink|Sick Mind}}<br /> <br /> [[File:OutHead-Knockoutfails.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|&quot;But he came aboard the bow, my Lord!&quot;]]<br /> <br /> He found Starscream in the middle of making a speech to Megatron's body and reminded Starscream of his rank. During the enacting of Starscream's new plan, Knock Out stood atop the ship's back, watching as a Vehicon activated a heat ray to melt a glacier. He ordered Breakdown to take care of Bulkhead and Arcee when the two Autobots turned up, but failed to notice Optimus approaching the ship from behind. The Autobot subsequently caused the heat ray to explode. {{storylink|Out of His Head}}<br /> <br /> With his tenure as second-in-command over, Knock Out went back to his original post as medic. Following Starscream's... &quot;treatment&quot; at the hands of Megatron, Knock Out administered whatever passed for Decepticon medical care. He was surprised to see the patient up and about, thought Starscream claimed to be fine. Some time later, Starscream was back in the infirmary minus an arm, which he claimed had just fallen off. Knock Out tried to interest him in a new, upgraded limb, even going so far as to fetch one from storage, but Starscream announced he was going to get his old one back. He subsequently turned up back at the infirmary with even worse damage, but despite Knock Out's inquiries into what had happened, Starscream refused to talk about it. {{Storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}}<br /> <br /> [[File:TMI-KnockOutpainted.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|You ruined my paint job, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJpsAe70uig DINKLEBERG!]!]]<br /> <br /> Knock Out and Breakdown led a squadron of Vehicons to recover a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]] that had been uncovered on Earth, ending up in a pitched battle against the Autobots. The cylinder somehow incapacitated Bulkhead, the closest defender, allowing Knock Out to scoop up the prize then GroundBridge back to the ''Nemesis''. Unfortunately for the pair, the &quot;incapacitation&quot; was the data within the cylinder being ''expelled'', leaving them with an empty prize and an unhappy Megatron. They quickly deduced that the information was within the Autobot's brain. Knock Out and Breakdown tracked Bulkhead to a monster truck arena, where [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] had taken him in the hopes of triggering increasingly lost memories from the Autobot. Bulkhead and the human fled, but Knock Out easily found them with an energy reader to pinpoint the Autobot. Amusement turned to horror when Bulkhead painted a Cybertronian mathematical symbol on Knockout, ruining his paint job. Bulkhead was quickly downed, and Knock Out prepared his buzzsaw to remove his head. Miko tried to take a swing at Knock Out and missed... instead slamming into Bulkhead bodily, which triggered the data's self-defense routines ''again'', and the data beamed from Bulkhead's eyes, rocketing into space. The two Decepticons fled empty-handed once the other Autobots arrived. {{storylink|T.M.I.}}<br /> <br /> During their missions carrying energon around, Knock Out and Breakdown were under orders to lead the Autobots on a chase to burn through the Autobots' energon supplies. On one such mission, their Vehicon escort was attacked and wiped out by [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], whom Knock Out assumed was a ringer. Knock Out's inability to locate new energon deposits at a fast enough rate annoyed Megatron, who berated him. They were interrupted by Ratchet, who seemed to be amped up on something. After Megatron defeated Ratchet, he was left to Knock Out to extract a sample. The Decepticon medic did so, and prepared to finish off the Autobot, but was distracted at a vital moment, and during the ensuing fight, the sample was destroyed. Knock Out was able to later find a single drop of the substance that had given Ratchet a power boost. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}<br /> <br /> Knock Out continued humoring his leader's whims. He reported that the new space bridge was almost ready, they just needed an ample power source. Once the power source was secured, they headed for the construction site, but Megatron abruptly left after ordering them to complete the space bridge, leading Knock Out to wonder if their leader was losing it. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}} He was nonetheless surprised when [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]] decided Megatron wasn't coming back. He and Breakdown watched as Soundwave raised an objection and relieved Airachnid of command, and thus were there to welcome Megatron back when their leader indeed returned, though they were all surprised to see he'd brought Optimus Prime back with him. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}<br /> <br /> [[File:FlyingMindSecondOpinion.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|I don't know what's worse, you punching me or your ''paint job! AUGH!!''.]]<br /> <br /> Knock Out affixed a new Decepticon insignia to the amnesiac Optimus, who believed himself to be Orion Pax. Knock Out and Breakdown went to a military base and managed to steal a power source for the space bridge, despite the Autobots turning up, though they did inadvertently let Arcee onto the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}}<br /> <br /> Sent with Breakdown to investigate a hidden Cybertronian treasure, Knock Out emerged from a cave with the new device only to find Bumblebee and Bulkhead waiting. He sped away, amused by Bumblebee's attempts to follow him without transforming, and managed to elude his pursuer. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} After his success in retrieving the relic, Knock Out inquired to what it did, and Megatron demonstrated the shield generator's abilities, causing Knock Out to leak a little. He was sent with Breakdown to secure the next artifact, and used the generator to hold Optimus and Arcee at bay. This worked until Breakdown landed on him. After Megatron secured the [[Forge of Solus Prime]], Knock Out retreated through the GroundBridge and later watched Megatron unsuccessfully test it. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> Following the crash of the ''Nemesis'', Knock Out reported on the ship's status, and protested against Megatron's plan to bring it back online with Dark Energon. His fears quickly came true as the ''Nemesis'' gained a will of its own. Knock Out discovered it was decoding the data from the Iacon database, and suggested allowing it to continue before the ship put him in stasis lock. When [[William Fowler|Fowler]] and the kids arrived on board to download the Iacon database, they used his body as a ladder to reach the console. After the ship's Dark Energon was purged, he came back online, discovering [[Jack Darby|Jack]] on the console. Ratchet thumped him from behind before he could act, escaping with Jack and the Iacon relic locations. Megatron was furious at Knock Out's failure. {{storylink|Flying Mind}}<br /> <br /> As part of the plan to send several teams to retrieve the artifacts simultaneously, Knock Out was assigned to find the [[New York City|Manhattan]] relic with some miners and an [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]] to back him up. After digging it up in the subway system, Knock Out's team was attacked by Arcee and Bumblebee, and with the Insecticon managed to bring them down. He intended to try out their new find on them, but was interrupted by a sweeper train hitting him. He attempted to escape with the relic, being chased down by Bumblebee and forced to fight. However Bumblebee unintentionally used the [[Phase shifter]] to avoid the incoming sweeper train, while Knock Out was scraped along the tunnel wall. Horrified that his paint was heavily ruined, and with the relic in Autobot hands, Knock Out retreated. {{storylink|Tunnel Vision}} After returning empty-handed, Knock Out was tasked with examining [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] and found the grenade the Autobots had implanted in the drone. After diving for cover, Knock Out was forced to dispose of the grenade and Megatron ordered him to fix Soundwave's visor. {{storylink|Triage (episode)|Triage}}<br /> <br /> When [[Hardshell]] claimed that he'd offlined Bulkhead, Knock Out argued with him about the effectiveness of Insecticons. Knock Out had finally got a chance to buff his paintwork, lamenting on the difficulty of the task without Breakdown's help, when a fight broke out between the Insecticons and Vehicons, and he was damaged in the crossfire. He took his concerns to Megatron, demanding that the Insecticons be restrained in some way, though Hardshell objected to that idea. {{storylink|Hurt}}<br /> <br /> Knock Out was surprised when Breakdown's signal abruptly reappeared, and even moreso when it turned out to be [[Silas|Breakdown with some additions]]. Cylas insisted on meeting with Megatron, though Knock Out was more keen to take him apart in retaliation for Breakdown's demise. He later got the chance when Cylas made the mistake of failing Megatron, {{storylink|The Human Factor}} and made him into a guinea pig for his experiments. {{storylink|Thirst}} Knock Out was on the ''Nemesis'' bridge when Optimus attacked the warship with the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|Legacy (episode)|Legacy}} After Megatron retrieved the arm of a Prime from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Knock Out grafted it onto his leader and later watched as Megatron forged the [[Dark Star Saber]] from a chunk of [[Dark Energon]]. {{storylink|Alpha/Omega}}<br /> <br /> [[File:HardKnocksKnockOut.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|I dare you.]]<br /> Knock Out insisted on proving his worth and took the [[Resonance Blaster]] with him to retrieve one of the [[Omega Key]]s. Despite facing Arcee and Bumblebee, he succeeded and returned to the ''Nemesis'' with his prize. He was disappointed when he was stuck analyzing the relic rather than going after the next key. {{storylink|Hard Knocks}}<br /> <br /> [[File:InsideJobKnockOut.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Part of the crew, part of the ship, part of the crew, part of the ship!]]<br /> Once they had [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] captured, Knock Out claimed the phase shifter and used it to extract the final relic from inside the Autobot. After helping Megatron use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to learn the purpose of the [[Omega Key]]s, his leader ordered Knock Out to use the patch on Smokescreen himself to learn the location of the Autobot base. Unfortunately Smokescreen grabbed the shifter while it was still attached to his wrist and trapped him halfway through a bulkhead—a predicament that Megatron later didn't care to extract Knock Out from. {{storylink|Inside Job}} Megatron changed his mind when he needed Knock Out to perform a cortical psychic patch. As Megatron rummaged through Starscream's memories, Knock Out realized they were incriminating him as well as Starscream. He almost terminated the link, trapping Megatron in Starscream's head, but was stopped by Dreadwing. Megatron later reminded him that the Decepticons must act as one unit. {{storylink|Patch (episode)|Patch}}<br /> <br /> After restoring Starscream's [[Transformation cog|T-Cog]], Knock Out had to leave the room in a hurry to avoid Dreadwing's rage. He returned to trying to discover how the Omega Keys worked, and succeeded with Starscream's help. He later helped Starscream kidnap the Autobots' human friends and transport them to Cybertron for use as hostages. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}} Knock Out handed over Miko in exchange for an Omega Key and took part in the activation of the [[Omega Lock]]. After the Lock's destruction at Optimus's hand, Knock Out tried to lift the mood with a quip, only to be knocked about by Starscream and told to tend to Megatron. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}<br /> <br /> Megatron sent Knock Out back to Cybertron with a team to search for relics near the Omega Lock. They turned up the [[Apex Armor (Prime)|Apex Armor]] and also [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], who had tracked the recently energy surge. Knock Out took him back to Earth. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}} Knock Out seemed greatly amused by the picture of a dancing monkey Starscream found, and was present when Shockwave brought a cloned [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]] through the space bridge. {{storylink|Scattered}} Starscream later explained to Knock Out why he thought the medic had the safer of their jobs. {{storylink|Prey (episode)|Prey}}<br /> [[File:PepperSprayKnockOut--MO.JPG|upright=1.4|thumb|left|Yes, like pepper spray is in any way going to harm my ''mechanical''--Argh! My optics!]]<br /> Sent to find a Predacon fossil at a museum, Knock Out discovered that Fowler and [[June Darby]] had gotten there first. Though he grabbed the two humans and the fossil, he was unable to contact the ship for a bridge back, so had to resort to driving around. When the two humans escaped into a rail yard, he played hide and seek with them, only for June to hide the fossil on a departing train. Grabbing the pair, he set off in pursuit, and as Arcee and [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] joined the pursuit, he finally managed to raise the ''Nemesis''. Four Insecticons were dispatched to help, enabling Knock Out to ditch the two humans and grab the fossil. He returned triumphantly to the ''Nemesis'' to present the bone to Megatron. {{storylink|Plus One (Prime)|Plus One}}<br /> <br /> Knock Out's experiments with Synthetic Energon, using Cylas as a test subject, were having limited success until Starscream suggested mixing in a few drops of Dark Energon. The new mix transformed Cylas into an energon-sucking zombie and created a plague which resulted in Knock Out and Starscream being chased through the ship. Confronted by Megatron, they were forced to admit what they had done, and were sent to locate and destroy Cylas. They eventually located him, but he had already been dispatched by the freed Airachnid. After the affair had been resolved, Megatron ordered Knock Out to turn all his experiments over to Shockwave. {{storylink|Thirst}}<br /> <br /> Knock Out delivered the first of the Synthetic Energon to Shockwave's off-site laboratory, only to be shocked along with the other Decepticons when [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]] revealed his [[robot mode]]. The Decepticons quickly realized that the Predacons wouldn't remain loyal for long, and embarked on a plan to destroy the maturing Predacon clones while blaming it on the Autobots. {{storylink|Evolution}}<br /> <br /> Following Ratchet's capture, Knock Out found himself reduced to running errands and fetching equipment. While doing so, he made the critical mistake of letting it slip in front of Ratchet that the Decepticons felt threatened by Predaking's evolution and deliberately let the Autobots destroy the Predacon clones for them. The Autobot managed to dupe him, escaping under his watch. Things went from bad to worse when Predaking went on a rampage after learning of the Decepticons' treachery. Knock Out made the tactical decision to go get the Dark Star Saber for Megatron, but returned to find Predaking had already been dealt with. Of course, just then the Autobots attacked the ship. {{storylink|Synthesis}} While everyone fought the Autobots, Knock Out began packing for a quick escape. Unfortunately the fighting prevented him from getting off the ship, and when the Autobots took control and used the ship to restore Cybertron, he nonchalantly attempted to join them on the bridge, claiming he was &quot;joining the winning team.&quot; Miko punched him out for his trouble. {{storylink|Deadlock}}<br /> <br /> [[File:PredaconsRisingKnockOutBreakstheImmobilizer.JPG|thumb|upright=1.67|Birdbrain!]]<br /> Knock Out instead ended up locked up in a cell with the Vehicons. He attempted to negotiate for release by telling Bumblebee that the Autobots could find a map to Shockwave's labs in [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]]. He was still in his cell when Starscream arrived to spring everyone and try to take back the ship. During the revolt, he reclaimed the phase shifter from Smokescreen, however once they reached the bridge, he turned on Starscream, using the phase shifter to grab the immobilizer and knock out his former comrade with it. Unfortunately this meant he was part of the last line of defense against Unicron reaching the Well of All Sparks, and he began to think Starscream's plan to flee might have been the right idea. Luckily fleeing turned out to be unnecessary, as Optimus arrived back in time to defeat Unicron, and Knock Out was present as Optimus sacrificed himself to restore the [[AllSpark]] to Cybertron. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}<br /> <br /> ====Titan ''Prime'' comic====<br /> [[File:Knock Out on The Mind Trap!.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|left|He lets his hand do the talking.]]<br /> Knock Out developed a [[neuron refractor]] and took it to [[Zhejiang Province]], [[China]], where he laid a trap in a scrap-metal facility. When [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] investigated [[energon]] readings there, Knock Out zapped his mind into the body of a [[Lin-Che|human worker]], and instructed the [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] he'd brought to feed Optimus's old body into a crusher. Unfortunately Optimus and Lin-Che managed to reverse the effects of the refractor, and Optimus gave Knock Out a punch on the jaw that sent him running. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.8|The Mind Trap!}}<br /> <br /> Aiming to secure Optimus Prime's head, Knock Out and [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] attacked a TV studio and took the crew and audience of ''[[Down and Out]]'' prisoner. Once they had lured Optimus and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] there, the two Decepticons forced them to run the game show course, which had of course been modified to be deadly. When Optimus actually succeeded in rescuing the hostages, Knock Out revealed that he'd rigged the place to blow, but unfortunately for him, [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] had secretly tagged along and blew the floor out from under him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.14|It's a Knock-Out}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ====Eaglemoss ''Prime'' comic====<br /> When Knock Out and Breakdown captured the Autobot Bumblebee, Knock Out stopped his partner from finishing the Autobot off so that they could finish their [[Speed Metal|previous race]] and determine who is faster. Bumblebee went along with the race long enough to blindside Breakdown and dump yellow paint over Knock Out. The blurry and disoriented Breakdown started firing at the first big moving blotch of yellow he saw, diverting the Decepticons so Bumblebee could escape. {{storylink|King of the Road}}<br /> <br /> ====2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon====<br /> Following the restoration of Cybertron from the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Knock Out was one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. {{Storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}<br /> <br /> ====Japanese continuity====<br /> {{note|Japanese continuity does not include the final season of ''Prime''.}}<br /> <br /> =====''Unite Warriors''/''Legends''=====<br /> During a battle with [[Grand Galvatron]], [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] projected a hologram of Knock Out to distract [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]], having scanned Breakdown's memories and learned of his desire to be reunited with his partner. {{storylink|Sky Reign Chapter}} After the battle was over, Breakdown returned to his home dimension where he was greeted by Knock Out. {{storylink|Baldigus Chapter, Part Two}} Knock Out later showed Breakdown the schematics to the [[Apex Hunter Armor]]. {{Storylink|Transformers Legends Final Chapter &quot;Epiloge&quot;|Epiloge}}<br /> <br /> =====''Adventure''=====<br /> Imprisoned after the Decepticons' defeat, Knock Out stripped his fellow inmates of their parts and used them to modify and enhance his own body, becoming &quot;Bloody Knock Out&quot;. After escaping, he developed an interest in capturing [[Slug (Adventure)|Slug]] for use as a guinea pig for his experiments. {{storylink|#Adventure|Bloody Knock Out}}<br /> <br /> Bloody Knock Out later began building [[Nemesis Prime (Adventure)|Nemesis Prime]], an evil duplicate of Optimus Prime, and hired [[Runabout (Adventure)|Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (Adventure)|Runamuck]] to acquire a part from [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] to finish his project. {{storylink|Return! The Most Evil Duo}}<br /> <br /> ===''Kre-O'' online manga===<br /> Knock Out was one of the [[Decepticon]]s who joined [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] in the ''[[Nemesis (Kre-O)|Nemesis]]'' to chase the [[Autobot]]s in the ''[[Ark (Kre-O)|Ark]]''. After they boarded the ''Ark'', it crashed to [[Earth]] and the [[Transformer]]s fell to a four million year-long sleep. After waking up, Knock Out wondered if the world had any blocks. {{storylink|Kreon Story}}<br /> <br /> After Megatron was beaten by Optimus's new &quot;[[Skeletron|See-Through Power]]&quot;, the Decepticon leader threw a tantrum and demanded Knock Out come up with his own version. So he did the best he could: putting Megatron in see-through clothing. A pink see-through women's negligee. Thoroughly humiliated by Autobot laughter, Megatron came back to base and knocked out Knock Out with a single punch. {{storylink|Wheeljack's Bizarre Invention! Optimus Power Up!?}}<br /> <br /> Knock Out was one of many Decepticon warriors (accidentally) clobbered then (purposefully) bound and carried to an Autobot picnic by Optimus. {{storylink|Emergency! Hurry to the Base, Optimus!}} Together with [[Waspinator (Kre-O)|Thrustinator]] he subjected the [[Constructicon (Kre-O)|Constructicons]] to merciless tickling after they lost a battle with the Autobots. {{storylink|A New Menace! The Giant Soldier Devastator Appears!}} He was then present when Megatron conquered [[Metroplex (Kre-O)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Two Giant Bases! Everybody Getting Along, Come On, Fight!}}<br /> <br /> When Megatron wanted a giant golden Megatron head placed on top of his newly constructed solar tower, Knock Out pointed out that the tower had ended up too tall for them to climb. He was then buried in blocks when the Decepticon combiners accidentally wrecked the tower. {{storylink|Megatron's Ambition!? The Solar Tower Is Built!}} Knock Out invented a helmet intended to power up Megatron, but it had the side effect of transforming him into the crazy [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. The Decepticons were able to return their leader to normal thanks to the Autobots, but Knock Out learned nothing from the experience and was soon offering Megatron new helmets again. {{storylink|Enter the New Emperor of Destruction!? Stop Galvatron's Rampage!}}<br /> <br /> Knock Out was among the Decepticons caught in a [[space bridge]] accident and sent to a distant world where the Kreons were the size of toys to the human inhabitants. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise! The Transformers Are by Your Side!?}}<br /> <br /> ===Toy bios===<br /> Knock Out is the Decepticons' weapon designer, who has spent so long in the murky, underground weapons dealing world that he prefers to ''literally'' be underground. {{storylink|Knock_Out_(Prime)#Cyberverse|Energon Driller with Knock Out}} You'll note we didn't say &quot;top weapon designer&quot;.

Now he's supercharged and out to tear into the Autobots! {{storylink|Knock_Out_(Prime)#Prime|Dark Energon Knock Out}} Knock Out also planted the Dark Energon-infected [[Arms Micron]] [[Zori]] at an excavation site as a trap for any inquisitive Autobots, which resulted in [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] being turned into a rampaging, rage-fueled monster! {{storylink|Bumblebee (WFC)#Terrorcon|''Arms Micron'' Terrorcon Bumblebee's packaging bio}}<br /> <br /> ===''Tales of the Beast Hunters''===<br /> With the Decepticons in chaos following the disappearance of Megatron and the rebellion of the Predacons, Knock Out decided to flee Earth. He soon discovered Shockwave had the same idea, and helped his fellow Decepticon pack up the laboratory, though he wasn't happy about sharing their ride to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with two dormant Predacons in [[Hyperevolution Chamber]]s. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 20}}<br /> <br /> ==Commercial appearances==<br /> Knock Out reacted with confusion to several of Megatron's answers as he took questions from his adoring public. {{storylink|Commercial/Prime#Ask Megatron|Ask Megatron}}<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: Prime - The Game''===<br /> [[File:TransformersPrimeTheGame Knock Out.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|&quot;Why doesn't anyone ever want to play frisbee?&quot;]]<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Daran Norris]] (English)|[[Emmanuel Jacomy]] (French)}}<br /> <br /> As Bumblebee and Raf attempt to escape an energon mine, Knock Out arrived to stop them. The Decepticon medic failed to defeat Bumblebee, but he did keep him distracted long enough for the Autobot's human friend to be kidnapped.<br /> <br /> Back at the ''Nemesis'', Megatron had Knock Out evaluate the status of a recovered Cybertronian colossus named [[Thunderwing (Prime)|Thunderwing]]. Knock Out employed his medical training to determine the problem: Thunderwing was suffering from a condition known as &quot;missing pieces&quot;. <br /> <br /> When the Autobots attempted to infiltrate the ''Nemesis'' and recover their kidnapped friends, Knock Out and Bumblebee raced into combat with each other again. Though he used [[Synthetic Energon]] to enhance his attacks drastically over their prior fight, Bumblebee was still able to hold his own. The fight continued until Knock Out's paint job was severely compromised. Enraged, he rushed at Bumblebee only for the Autobot hero to sidestep, sending Knock Out off the edge of the ship and out of the fight. {{storylink|Transformers: Prime - The Game}}<br /> <br /> {{note|Knock Out is a playable character in the game's multiplayer battle modes, but only after he has been defeated on the ''Nemesis'' bridge in Story Mode.}}<br /> ===''Transformers Universe''===<br /> [[File:TFU Knockout.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|And this is where I'd put a trophy...

Given that Breakdown acts as a rival for Bulkhead in the finished episode — which [[Lugnut (Animated)|''Animated'' Lugnut]] was played up as for [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] in the original ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Animated]]'' [[Cartoon Network]] promotional material — the fandom concluded that Breakdown was meant to be Lugnut at some point in the episode's production. The Hub's [[Mike Vogel]] challenged this notion at [[BotCon 2011]], claiming that Lugnut had been ''Knock Out's'' original name, which had been changed because &quot;Lugnut&quot; wasn't &quot;sexy&quot; enough for the character. The ''Prime'' Season 1 Blu-ray commentary, however, proved Vogel incorrect and corroborated the original theory: Breakdown's place in the show was originally intended to belong to Lugnut, since a fiercely loyal Decepticon bruiser was desired, but the show creators wanted a land-based Decepticon instead.<br /> *Knock Out's [[license plate]] reads &quot;JOFY 892&quot;. <br /> *Some fans have interpreted Starscream's &quot;you're one of ''those&quot;'' line (referring to his car mode preference), Knock Out's wolf-whistling appraisal of Optimus's truck mode, the vanity about his appearance, and voice actor [[Daran Norris]]' somewhat campy performance to be clues that Knock Out is [[Transformer romance|gay]]. Moreover, the term &quot;knockout&quot; is commonly used to describe an attractive ''woman''. Make of all this what you will, as very little [[Humanization#Sexuality|robotic sexuality]] of any kind is evident in ''Prime'' , outside of a very lightly-implied connection between [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] and Arcee.<br /> **When asked at [[BotCon 2011]], the ''Prime'' writers said that there ''is'' no designation for gay, or straight, for that matter, on Cybertron, where Transformers are created by the AllSpark, not through sexual reproductions. They also said that Knock Out is a knock out, and that the ''Nemesis'' is a very &quot;don't ask, don't tell&quot; place. And then they jokingly deflected the matter, claiming that Knock Out's mannerisms are not caused by any particular orientation, but are simply eccentricities caused by &quot;a glitch in the AllSpark&quot; the day he was created... which is unintentionally so insulting to homosexuals that it could create an awkward silence in the [[Void]].<br /> *For the live script reading of &quot;[[Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone]]&quot; at BotCon 2011, Darran Norris was unavailable, so his lines went to [[Ernie Hudson]]. Hearing Ernie, who is quite the buff, deep-voiced dude, attempt Knock Out's particular mannerisms was... interesting.<br /> *Knock Out is, in the Japanese dub of the cartoon, the only character (so far) aware of the existence of the [[Arms Micron]]s. He lets this knowledge slip in &quot;[[Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone]]&quot;, where he offers to replace [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]'s missing arm with an Arms Micron.

(Generic Seekers from, clockwise: (1) MtMtE Part 3, (2) sticker sheet, (3,5,6 and 7) Five Faces of Darkness, (4 and 8) MtMtE Part 1.]]<br /> The term '''Seeker''' refers to [[Decepticon]] jet troopers who share [[Starscream (disambiguation)|Starscream]]'s [[body-type]] but with different colors or minor variations in wing and head shapes.Though the term does not simply go out to just any Decepticon jet. It only goes to a 'Con jet with professional skill in combat/or in the Decepticon AirForce Military. This is most clearly and commonly known from ''[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]'', but any franchise with a Starscream is almost [[To sell toys|inevitably]] going to feature a similar &quot;family&quot; of [[redeco]]ed jet-formers.<br /> <br /> The word &quot;Seeker&quot; hovered a long time in a strange gray area between official and fan-coined terms. It seems to have originated in ''extremely'' obscure official or semi-official writing, but somehow became widely used among fans. ''(See [[#Origin of the term|below]].)'' In 2002, the term appeared in dialog from the first issue of ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' from [[Dreamwave Productions]], [[Canonizing|making it truly official]] after years of controversy. It has subsequently appeared in many other places such as on toy packaging, books, and in other stories.<br /> <br /> ==Generation 1 Seekers==<br /> ===List of named Seekers===<br /> *[[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] (leader)<br /> *[[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]<br /> *[[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]]<br /> *[[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]]<br /> *[[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]]<br /> *[[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]]<br /> *[[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]<br /> *[[Bitstream (G1)|Bitstream]]<br /> *[[Hotlink (G1)|Hotlink]]<br /> *[[Nacelle (G1)|Nacelle]]<br /> *[[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]]<br /> *[[Ion Storm]]<br /> *[[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]]<br /> *[[Red Wing]]<br /> *[[Sandstorm (G2)|Sandstorm]]<br /> *[[Slipstream (G1)|Slipstream]]<br /> *[[Wheezing Arrow]]<br /> <br /> ===Originals===<br /> [[File:MainSeekers.gif|upright=1.66|thumb|The original Seekers]]<br /> In Generation 1, there were six Seekers originally given names and characterization: [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]]. The first three, the season one Seekers, had animation designs done primarily by [[Shōhei Kohara]].<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Coneheads===<br /> [[File:ConeheadsGenerations1.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|&quot;We must consume mass quantities... of energon.&quot;]]<br /> The last three Generation 1 Seekers are usually designated as &quot;[[Conehead]]&quot; Seekers by fans for their distinctive transformation that leaves the jet nosecone pointing up. Unlike their progenitors, the Coneheads typically feature more individual parts between the three, helping to better differentiate them from each other. The animation models for the Conehead Seekers were designed by [[Floro Dery]]. <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===And the rest...===<br /> [[File:MTMTEGenerics-OilField.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Aw, not &quot;[[When Continents Collide]]&quot; again...]]<br /> In the Generation 1 cartoon there were large numbers of [[generic]], unnamed Seekers in addition to the named characters. They came in a wide variety of colors, from extra duplicates of Starscream or one of the other named guys, to original and distinct looks all their own. They seem to have formed the bulk of the Decepticon forces on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], as well as among [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s initial troops on [[Earth]]. They gradually became less common, perhaps as a result of casualties... or the cartoon's production team becoming more careful, or more-likely having more &quot;actual&quot; Decepticons to work with as the toy line expanded. (Extra [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]] units and alternate color cassettes were also used along with these Seekers, early on, to fill out the comparatively thin Decepticon ranks.)<br /> <br /> These unsung Seekers would be recognized years later in ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' toy form as the [[Air Warrior]]s (all using the common lavender/white color scheme). Soon afterward, the [[Dreamwave Generation One continuity|Dreamwave ''Generation One'' comic series]] introduced an army of similarly-colored Seeker drones.<br /> <br /> [[File:AirWarriors MTMtE.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|You talking to me? Or him? Or the other one?]]<br /> Around the same time, another background Seeker was also given a new life through toys and Dreamwave's [[Transformers: Generation 1 (Dreamwave)|''Generation One'' ongoing series]]: [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. This yellow-orange Seeker was a nameless background character in the first episode of the ''Transformers'' cartoon, until [[e-HOBBY]] turned him into an [[exclusive]] toy (available with an [[Autobot]] also based on a [[Hauler|first-episode cameo]]). Now [[Hasbro]] [[Sunstorm (disambiguation)|can't get enough of him]]. Another generic Seeker was given attention: [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]]. Like Sunstorm before him, he was based on one of the background Seekers from the original cartoon, in this case the episode &quot;Divide and Conquer&quot; (see below). And in 2013 [[Fun Publications]] got in on the act by dubbing Sunstorm's partners [[Bitstream (G1)|Bitstream]] and [[Hotlink (G1)|Hotlink]] after two Seekers from Aligned continuity. Additionally in 2015, FunPub dubbed Acid Storm's partners [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]] and [[Ion Storm]].<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> Unnamed Seekers with their own distinct color schemes appear in the following episodes as noted below:<br /> <br /> [[File:More than meets the eye seeker.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|More Than Meets The Eye Part 1 Seekers: <br /> Sunstorm, Nacelle, Hotlink and Bitstream.]]<br /> *&quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&quot;<br /> :In the &quot;return to [[Great Dome|Iacon]]&quot; scene on Cybertron, five to seven Seekers appear (wide shots depict a group of five, but the close-ups give us seven distinct color schemes.) The first three are (as far as colors are concerned) Skywarp, Starscream (with a deeper voice provided by [[Frank Welker]]), and Thundercracker. In a following shot, we see a lavender Seeker with a flamethrower pack who would years later be named Hotlink; a medium-blue Seeker with white trim, holding his arm gun like a rifle, who would eventually be named Bitstream; a yellow/orange Seeker, who would become Sunstorm... and lurking in the back, a very dark-blue Seeker with white trim barely visible, but there if you look, who is apparently [[Nacelle (G1)|Nacelle]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> [[File:MmteSeekers2.gif|upright=1.1|thumb|Lots of generic Seekers from this one.]]<br /> *&quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]&quot; and &quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3|Part 3]]&quot;<br /> :The mother lode of unnamed Seekers.

At least six different Seekers of various shades and decos of blue and at least four of various shades and decos of lavender (two with black tail fins in jet mode, two with white). Also, a blue variant (seen in the picture above) missing his wings and shoulder vents appears in &quot;Part 3&quot;.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> [[File:DivideandCon.gif|upright=1.1|thumb|Divide and Conquer Seekers: Ion Storm, Acid Storm, and Nova Storm]]<br /> *&quot;[[Divide and Conquer]]&quot;<br /> :Avert your eyes! One deep blue, one eye-burning bright green, and one garishly bright yellow. This trio is often referred to by fans as &quot;the [[Rainmaker]]s&quot; because they started an [[acid rain]] shower to irritate a group of [[Autobot]]s. The green jet in this grouping was made into the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]] character, whose name was initially supposed to be &quot;Rainmaker&quot;, then &quot;Acid Rain&quot;.

All three even used the same toy mold in their first release, although Skywarp was heavily [[retool]]ed from the others (including getting an entirely new-mold [[Mini-Con]] partner). While new Decepticon-allied jet characters named [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] and [[Ramjet (Armada)|Ramjet]] were released in ''Armada'', they each had their own unique molds. However, whereas Ramjet was simply the Mini-Con partner of [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]], Thrust was a [[bulk]] who even had a VTOL engine in jet mode, a conehead and vertically-oriented wings in robot mode. Although Thrust's original toy was green, one of his redecos looked much more like his G1 incarnation while the other redeco looked like an inverted version of G1 [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]]. It was also redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Sunstorm (Universe)|Sunstorm]].<br /> <br /> Though only Starscream appeared in the follow-up franchise, ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'', several Seekers appeared in the final portion of the Unicron Trilogy, ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]''. Starscream was back in a form heavily inspired by ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' Starscream design (itself based on the &quot;tetrajet&quot; (see below)), while Thundercracker received a completely different body. A Skywarp was also released as a redeco of Thundercracker.<br /> <br /> Further, the ''[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends of Cybertron]]'' Starscream toy, a tiny, simplified version of his main toy, was redecoed three more times: [[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp]] as a giveaway at [[San Diego Comic-Con#2005|Comic Con 2005]], [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] as a giveaway at [[BotCon 2005]], and [[Sunstorm (Universe)|Sunstorm]] as part of the last wave of the LOC line at retail.<br /> <br /> [[Ask Vector Prime]] would refer to [[Aurex]] Seekers, and [[Armada Volume 5|''Armada'' Volume 5]] labeled Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp as &quot;the Seeker family&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==Live-action film series Seekers==<br /> {{Main|Seeker (Movie)}}<br /> [[File:The Reign Of Starscream Seekers..jpg|thumb|250px|left]]<br /> In the letters page for [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Titan's tie-in comic]], the movie versions of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], and [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]] were first referred to as Seekers—by Starscream himself, no less. [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] was noticeably absent from Starscream's list, despite also being a jet and Thundercracker also being the name/body for a line of drones. This left it unclear what a Seeker ''is''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|#9's Star Screams}}<br /> <br /> Later, the term was clarified to mean a particular unit led by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}}<br /> <br /> {{note|Similarly to the IDW cases above, the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|second movie]] would use the term &quot;[[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]]&quot; to refer to an entirely unrelated group of Transformers!}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Animated continuity==<br /> {{Main|Starscream clone (Animated)}}<br /> {{Groupstub}}<br /> <br /> ==Aligned continuity family Seekers==<br /> [[File:Armada-clonessurroundMegatron.jpg|250px|thumb]]<br /> The Seekers were a pre-existing group long before the formation of the Decepticons. There is some indication that the Seekers are an elite group of the best of the best fliers, although what (if anything) distinguishes a Seeker from any other flying Transformer is open to question. They tend to mostly, though not always, share a common design. <br /> <br /> In an effort to placate the eternally feuding cities of [[Vos (polity)|Vos]] and [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]] each was given something of value. Vos thus became the home of the [[Air Commander|Cybertronian Air Command]] home base of the Seekers. [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] was one of their leaders before the war, and [[Autobot High Council|High Councilor]] [[Contrail (WFC)|Contrail]] seems to have been another. The Seekers were employed in ancient times to guard the secret of [[Dark Energon]] hidden aboard [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon Station]]. They kept this charge even when Starscream allied with the Decepticons, though for the most part they remained largely independent in the civil war. <br /> <br /> [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], apparently upset at being pulled away from the [[Crystal City]], maneuvered Vos and Tarn into destroying each other, wiping out most of the Air Commanders that formed the basis of Starscream's power and bolstering his own position as Second-in-command.<br /> <br /> In the aftermath of this betrayal, many of the surviving Seekers from Vos joined the Autobots, becoming the [[Aerialbot (WFC)|Aerialbot]]s. [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] was one notable Seeker who defected from the Decepticons to the Autobots, helping them exploit their own flight skills further.<br /> <br /> As part of his power play with Starscream, Megatron sent gladiators to kill many of the Air Command's scientists to finally take control of Trypticon away from the Seekers. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}<br /> <br /> The jet-based [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] (specifically the silver &quot;Ace&quot; types) used by the Decepticons in the present day have been recognized as Seekers by Starscream. {{storylink|Scattered}}<br /> <br /> '''Known Seekers:'''<br /> *[[Vehicon (Prime)|Ace Vehicons]]<br /> *[[Bitstream (WFC)|Bitstream]]<br /> *Contrail<br /> *[[Dirge (WFC)|Dirge]]<br /> *[[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]]<br /> *[[Hotlink (WFC)|Hotlink]]<br /> *Jetfire<br /> *[[Nacelle (WFC)|Nacelle]]<br /> *[[Ramjet (WFC)|Ramjet]]<br /> *[[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]] (maybe?)<br /> *[[Skywarp (WFC)|Skywarp]]<br /> *[[Slipstream (WFC)|Slipstream]]<br /> *Starscream<br /> *[[Thrust (Prime)|Thrust]]<br /> *[[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]]<br /> <br /> ==Cyberverse continuity==<br /> {{Main|Seeker (Cyberverse)}}<br /> {{Groupstub}}<br /> <br /> ==The term &quot;Seeker&quot;==<br /> ===Origin of the term===<br /> The truly mysterious thing about the term &quot;Seeker&quot; is the fact that, despite it being widely used by fans as early as the 1990s, nobody knew where it actually ''came from'', as evidenced by confused conversations from that time on [[alt.toys.transformers]].&lt;ref&gt;[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_frm/thread/e885ffdf4355e933/13eeeeae7e2483b7?tvc=17 alt.toys.transformers thread from 1996 about the origin of &quot;Seeker&quot;]&lt;/ref&gt; There were plenty of ''wrong'' answers; the strongest suggestion seemed to be that it came from the &quot;[[Ferak|hunter-seeker skyship]]&quot; used in [[The Smelting Pool!|issue #17]] of the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel US comic]]—though the Decepticons it is applied to in that story are shown only in their flight modes, which look nothing like the jets in question, and are completely different from the Cybertronian forms of the Coneheads, who also appear in the issue. The only real connection between the hunter-seekers we were shown and the &quot;Seekers&quot; is that there's more than one of them and they fly.<br /> <br /> During this time when the term was believed non-canon, fans flirted with other terms such as &quot;Skyraider&quot; ''(see [[#Alternate terms|below]])'', but in 2002 [[Simon Furman]] used &quot;Seeker&quot; in [[The War Within issue 1|a Dreamwave ''War Within'' script]], which sealed the deal of officiality and set the tone not just for the fandom, but for the ''Transformers'' fiction that came afterwards as well.<br /> <br /> [[File:Seekers ad text.jpg|left|197px|thumb|No, you fool, we're following orders: We were told to scour the countryside, so we're scouring it.]]<br /> Years later, the mystery was finally solved with the discovery of multiple department-store advertisements from the [[1984]] holiday season in which the word &quot;Seeker&quot; appeared. The J.C. Penney catalog (sometimes called a &quot;wishbook&quot;) featured a page dedicated to ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' that included this statement in its description of Starscream: &quot;Airplane with sensational F-15 styling scours the countryside searching for Autobots. When they're found, the Seekers set out to destroy them.&quot; It also said [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] &quot;sends out messages to the Seekers and other Decepticons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;J.C. Penney 1984 wishbook [[:File:Seekers ad.jpg|(full-page scan)]]&lt;/ref&gt; J.C. Penney and (now-defunct) chains Zayre and Dahlkemper's put out ads in November 1984 listing Starscream and either Thundercracker or Skywarp as &quot;Decepticon Seeker&quot;. In addition, one of the earliest known ads for Transformers toys '''period''' is a Zayre circular from April 1984 that uses the term.&lt;ref name=&quot;savead&quot;&gt;1984 &quot;Seeker&quot; ads [http://pleasesavemerobots.com/vstp/vstptf84.html#depl84 (scan at The Vintage Space Toaster Palace)]&lt;/ref&gt; The term even appears as late as 1985, in a toy-ordering catalog for (now-defunct) Western Auto, a specialty retail chain for automobile parts and accessories, which lists all the standard Transformers releases from the 1984 line-up, among them the &quot;Decepticon (Seekers) Plane assortment&quot;, with Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp depicted.&lt;ref name=&quot;westernauto&quot;&gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-general-discussion/1061758-seekers-term.html]Western Auto toy ordering guide] at TFW2005.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Presumably, then, the term &quot;Seeker&quot; was likely handed down by [[Hasbro]] in promotional materials, and those retailers happened to run with it. It's impossible to know with absolute certainty, but the most curious aspect of the whole story is that members of the online ''Transformers'' fan community were widely and independently using the term largely without question since the early 1990s, when the [[fandom]] was just getting on its feet, not dissimilar to the way the term &quot;Generation 1&quot; was coined. Were those obscure toy ads truly widely seen enough, and a strong enough part of the fandom's collective memory, to determine common parlance almost ten years after the fact? Or were there more official usages that have since disappeared? ''That'' is a mystery we may never solve!<br /> <br /> ===Alternate terms===<br /> [[File:G1catalog86-DecepticonPlanes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|I don't know what to call you, [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], but I know &quot;plane&quot; isn't it.]]<br /> The most obvious alternate name for these Transformers—and the one generally used by toy [[Pack-in material|pack-in]] [[catalog]]s—is '''[[Decepticon Planes]]'''. While usually clear enough from context, this term has the weakness that there are many Decepticon planes who do not share this body-type. Also, the term is rarely, if ever, used outside of toy-specific contexts. The first [[United Kingdom|UK]] toy pack-in catalog referred to the group as '''strike planes'''.&lt;ref name=&quot;ukcat&quot;&gt;First UK toy catalog [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/img/toysheets/g1/uksheet01/1.jpg (scan at Transformers @ The Moon)]&lt;/ref&gt; The 1985 European [[Milton Bradley]] catalog calls them &quot;'''Decepticon Aeroplanes'''&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;mb&quot;&gt;[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=mb &quot;Milton Bradley Transformers&quot;] at TF-1.com.&lt;/ref&gt; In Japan, they were called '''Jetrons'''. The ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' versions were called &quot;'''Decepticon Jets'''&quot;.<br /> <br /> Within the fiction, the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]] episode &quot;[[Atlantis, Arise!]]&quot; features [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] calling Thundercracker a '''Deceptijet'''. And the 1985 Listen 'n Fun audio book &quot;[[Sun Raid (Listen 'n Fun)|Sun Raid]]&quot; has Megatron ordering the '''Deceptiplanes''' (Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker) to break off an attack. The audio book &quot;[[Jaws of Terror]]&quot; referred to them as '''Decepticon superjets'''. The multipath adventure book &quot;[[Dinobots Strike Back]]&quot; has Megatron order his '''warrior jets''' to attack the Autobots, just before a &quot;good&quot; ending which they fail to prevent. <br /> <br /> [[File:Tetrajet seekers.jpg|thumb|Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter...]]<br /> For a long time, it has been common among fans to refer to the Seekers' cartoon Cybertronian forms (from the episode &quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&quot; among others) as '''tetrajets''' because their shape resembles a {{w|tetrahedron}}, a pyramid with a triangular base.<br /> <br /> If there was ever an official term that could've given &quot;Seeker&quot; a run for its money, it was the one used on the [[Europe]]an ''Generation 2'' packaging of Starscream and Ramjet: '''Skyraiders'''.&lt;ref&gt;Starscream and Ramjet's European ''Generation 2'' packaging [http://www.cobraislandtoys.com/tf/1992/starscreamg2boxfront.jpg (photo at Cobra Island Toys)]&lt;/ref&gt; That term also appeared in those characters' profiles in the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Fleetway)|UK ''Generation 2'' comic]]. When the modern fandom dug this information up, &quot;Seeker&quot; was still considered a fan-generated term, so there was a push to supplant it with &quot;Skyraider&quot;. But Furman's use of &quot;Seeker&quot; in ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', coupled with the rediscovery of the department store advertisements, put a damper on that movement. Some years later, the term &quot;Skyraider&quot; was officially resurrected to describe the jet warriors in the [[BotCon 2009]] set &quot;[[Wings of Honor]]&quot; (based on the [[Starscream (Armada)#Energon|''Energon'' Starscream mold]]). [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]] was indicated as the body-type's developer in-universe.<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: Mystery of Convoy''===<br /> {{storylink|Transformers: Mystery of Convoy}}<br /> {{charstubgame}}<br /> <br /> ===''The Transformers: Battle to Save the Earth''===<br /> In this iteration of the Autobot/Decepticon conflict, it seems all the Decepticon possess the Seeker body-type.

It seems to have originated in ''extremely'' obscure official or semi-official writing, but somehow became widely used among fans. ''(See [[#Origin of the term|below]].)'' In 2002, the term appeared in dialog from the first issue of ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' from [[Dreamwave Productions]], [[Canonizing|making it truly official]] after years of controversy.

The first three, the season one Seekers, had animation designs done primarily by [[Shōhei Kohara]].<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Coneheads===<br /> [[File:ConeheadsGenerations1.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|&quot;We must consume mass quantities... of energon.&quot;]]<br /> The last three Generation 1 Seekers are usually designated as &quot;[[Conehead]]&quot; Seekers by fans for their distinctive transformation that leaves the jet nosecone pointing up. Unlike their progenitors, the Coneheads typically feature more individual parts between the three, helping to better differentiate them from each other. The animation models for the Conehead Seekers were designed by [[Floro Dery]]. <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===And the rest...===<br /> [[File:MTMTEGenerics-OilField.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Aw, not &quot;[[When Continents Collide]]&quot; again...]]<br /> In the Generation 1 cartoon there were large numbers of [[generic]], unnamed Seekers in addition to the named characters. They came in a wide variety of colors, from extra duplicates of Starscream or one of the other named guys, to original and distinct looks all their own. They seem to have formed the bulk of the Decepticon forces on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], as well as among [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s initial troops on [[Earth]]. They gradually became less common, perhaps as a result of casualties... or the cartoon's production team becoming more careful, or more-likely having more &quot;actual&quot; Decepticons to work with as the toy line expanded. (Extra [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]] units and alternate color cassettes were also used along with these Seekers, early on, to fill out the comparatively thin Decepticon ranks.)<br /> <br /> These unsung Seekers would be recognized years later in ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' toy form as the [[Air Warrior]]s (all using the common lavender/white color scheme). Soon afterward, the [[Dreamwave Generation One continuity|Dreamwave ''Generation One'' comic series]] introduced an army of similarly-colored Seeker drones.<br /> <br /> [[File:AirWarriors MTMtE.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|You talking to me? Or him? Or the other one?]]<br /> Around the same time, another background Seeker was also given a new life through toys and Dreamwave's [[Transformers: Generation 1 (Dreamwave)|''Generation One'' ongoing series]]: [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. This yellow-orange Seeker was a nameless background character in the first episode of the ''Transformers'' cartoon, until [[e-HOBBY]] turned him into an [[exclusive]] toy (available with an [[Autobot]] also based on a [[Hauler|first-episode cameo]]). Now [[Hasbro]] [[Sunstorm (disambiguation)|can't get enough of him]]. Another generic Seeker was given attention: [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]]. Like Sunstorm before him, he was based on one of the background Seekers from the original cartoon, in this case the episode &quot;Divide and Conquer&quot; (see below). And in 2013 [[Fun Publications]] got in on the act by dubbing Sunstorm's partners [[Bitstream (G1)|Bitstream]] and [[Hotlink (G1)|Hotlink]] after two Seekers from Aligned continuity. Additionally in 2015, FunPub dubbed Acid Storm's partners [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]] and [[Ion Storm]].<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> Unnamed Seekers with their own distinct color schemes appear in the following episodes as noted below:<br /> <br /> [[File:More than meets the eye seeker.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|More Than Meets The Eye Part 1 Seekers: <br /> Sunstorm, Nacelle, Hotlink and Bitstream.]]<br /> *&quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&quot;<br /> :In the &quot;return to [[Great Dome|Iacon]]&quot; scene on Cybertron, five to seven Seekers appear (wide shots depict a group of five, but the close-ups give us seven distinct color schemes.) The first three are (as far as colors are concerned) Skywarp, Starscream (with a deeper voice provided by [[Frank Welker]]), and Thundercracker. In a following shot, we see a lavender Seeker with a flamethrower pack who would years later be named Hotlink; a medium-blue Seeker with white trim, holding his arm gun like a rifle, who would eventually be named Bitstream; a yellow/orange Seeker, who would become Sunstorm... and lurking in the back, a very dark-blue Seeker with white trim barely visible, but there if you look, who is apparently [[Nacelle (G1)|Nacelle]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> [[File:MmteSeekers2.gif|upright=1.1|thumb|Lots of generic Seekers from this one.]]<br /> *&quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]&quot; and &quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3|Part 3]]&quot;<br /> :The mother lode of unnamed Seekers.

The green jet in this grouping was made into the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]] character, whose name was initially supposed to be &quot;Rainmaker&quot;, then &quot;Acid Rain&quot;.

All three even used the same toy mold in their first release, although Skywarp was heavily [[retool]]ed from the others (including getting an entirely new-mold [[Mini-Con]] partner). While new Decepticon-allied jet characters named [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] and [[Ramjet (Armada)|Ramjet]] were released in ''Armada'', they each had their own unique molds. However, whereas Ramjet was simply the Mini-Con partner of [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]], Thrust was a [[bulk]] who even had a VTOL engine in jet mode, a conehead and vertically-oriented wings in robot mode. Although Thrust's original toy was green, one of his redecos looked much more like his G1 incarnation while the other redeco looked like an inverted version of G1 [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]]. It was also redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Sunstorm (Universe)|Sunstorm]].<br /> <br /> Though only Starscream appeared in the follow-up franchise, ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'', several Seekers appeared in the final portion of the Unicron Trilogy, ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]''. Starscream was back in a form heavily inspired by ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' Starscream design (itself based on the &quot;tetrajet&quot; (see below)), while Thundercracker received a completely different body. A Skywarp was also released as a redeco of Thundercracker.<br /> <br /> Further, the ''[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends of Cybertron]]'' Starscream toy, a tiny, simplified version of his main toy, was redecoed three more times: [[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp]] as a giveaway at [[San Diego Comic-Con#2005|Comic Con 2005]], [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] as a giveaway at [[BotCon 2005]], and [[Sunstorm (Universe)|Sunstorm]] as part of the last wave of the LOC line at retail.<br /> <br /> [[Ask Vector Prime]] would refer to [[Aurex]] Seekers, and [[Armada Volume 5|''Armada'' Volume 5]] labeled Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp as &quot;the Seeker family&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==Live-action film series Seekers==<br /> {{Main|Seeker (Movie)}}<br /> [[File:The Reign Of Starscream Seekers..jpg|thumb|250px|left]]<br /> In the letters page for [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Titan's tie-in comic]], the movie versions of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], and [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]] were first referred to as Seekers—by Starscream himself, no less. [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] was noticeably absent from Starscream's list, despite also being a jet and Thundercracker also being the name/body for a line of drones. This left it unclear what a Seeker ''is''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|#9's Star Screams}}<br /> <br /> Later, the term was clarified to mean a particular unit led by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}}<br /> <br /> {{note|Similarly to the IDW cases above, the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|second movie]] would use the term &quot;[[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]]&quot; to refer to an entirely unrelated group of Transformers!}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ==Animated continuity==<br /> {{Main|Starscream clone (Animated)}}<br /> {{Groupstub}}<br /> <br /> ==Aligned continuity family Seekers==<br /> [[File:Armada-clonessurroundMegatron.jpg|250px|thumb]]<br /> The Seekers were a pre-existing group long before the formation of the Decepticons. There is some indication that the Seekers are an elite group of the best of the best fliers, although what (if anything) distinguishes a Seeker from any other flying Transformer is open to question. They tend to mostly, though not always, share a common design. <br /> <br /> In an effort to placate the eternally feuding cities of [[Vos (polity)|Vos]] and [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]] each was given something of value. Vos thus became the home of the [[Air Commander|Cybertronian Air Command]] home base of the Seekers. [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] was one of their leaders before the war, and [[Autobot High Council|High Councilor]] [[Contrail (WFC)|Contrail]] seems to have been another. The Seekers were employed in ancient times to guard the secret of [[Dark Energon]] hidden aboard [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon Station]]. They kept this charge even when Starscream allied with the Decepticons, though for the most part they remained largely independent in the civil war. <br /> <br /> [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], apparently upset at being pulled away from the [[Crystal City]], maneuvered Vos and Tarn into destroying each other, wiping out most of the Air Commanders that formed the basis of Starscream's power and bolstering his own position as Second-in-command.<br /> <br /> In the aftermath of this betrayal, many of the surviving Seekers from Vos joined the Autobots, becoming the [[Aerialbot (WFC)|Aerialbot]]s. [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] was one notable Seeker who defected from the Decepticons to the Autobots, helping them exploit their own flight skills further.<br /> <br /> As part of his power play with Starscream, Megatron sent gladiators to kill many of the Air Command's scientists to finally take control of Trypticon away from the Seekers. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}<br /> <br /> The jet-based [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] (specifically the silver &quot;Ace&quot; types) used by the Decepticons in the present day have been recognized as Seekers by Starscream. {{storylink|Scattered}}<br /> <br /> '''Known Seekers:'''<br /> *[[Vehicon (Prime)|Ace Vehicons]]<br /> *[[Bitstream (WFC)|Bitstream]]<br /> *Contrail<br /> *[[Dirge (WFC)|Dirge]]<br /> *[[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]]<br /> *[[Hotlink (WFC)|Hotlink]]<br /> *Jetfire<br /> *[[Nacelle (WFC)|Nacelle]]<br /> *[[Ramjet (WFC)|Ramjet]]<br /> *[[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]] (maybe?)<br /> *[[Skywarp (WFC)|Skywarp]]<br /> *[[Slipstream (WFC)|Slipstream]]<br /> *Starscream<br /> *[[Thrust (Prime)|Thrust]]<br /> *[[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]]<br /> <br /> ==Cyberverse continuity==<br /> {{Main|Seeker (Cyberverse)}}<br /> {{Groupstub}}<br /> <br /> ==The term &quot;Seeker&quot;==<br /> ===Origin of the term===<br /> The truly mysterious thing about the term &quot;Seeker&quot; is the fact that, despite it being widely used by fans as early as the 1990s, nobody knew where it actually ''came from'', as evidenced by confused conversations from that time on [[alt.toys.transformers]].&lt;ref&gt;[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_frm/thread/e885ffdf4355e933/13eeeeae7e2483b7?tvc=17 alt.toys.transformers thread from 1996 about the origin of &quot;Seeker&quot;]&lt;/ref&gt; There were plenty of ''wrong'' answers; the strongest suggestion seemed to be that it came from the &quot;[[Ferak|hunter-seeker skyship]]&quot; used in [[The Smelting Pool!|issue #17]] of the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel US comic]]—though the Decepticons it is applied to in that story are shown only in their flight modes, which look nothing like the jets in question, and are completely different from the Cybertronian forms of the Coneheads, who also appear in the issue. The only real connection between the hunter-seekers we were shown and the &quot;Seekers&quot; is that there's more than one of them and they fly.<br /> <br /> During this time when the term was believed non-canon, fans flirted with other terms such as &quot;Skyraider&quot; ''(see [[#Alternate terms|below]])'', but in 2002 [[Simon Furman]] used &quot;Seeker&quot; in [[The War Within issue 1|a Dreamwave ''War Within'' script]], which sealed the deal of officiality and set the tone not just for the fandom, but for the ''Transformers'' fiction that came afterwards as well.<br /> <br /> [[File:Seekers ad text.jpg|left|197px|thumb|No, you fool, we're following orders: We were told to scour the countryside, so we're scouring it.]]<br /> Years later, the mystery was finally solved with the discovery of multiple department-store advertisements from the [[1984]] holiday season in which the word &quot;Seeker&quot; appeared. The J.C. Penney catalog (sometimes called a &quot;wishbook&quot;) featured a page dedicated to ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' that included this statement in its description of Starscream: &quot;Airplane with sensational F-15 styling scours the countryside searching for Autobots. When they're found, the Seekers set out to destroy them.&quot; It also said [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] &quot;sends out messages to the Seekers and other Decepticons&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;J.C. Penney 1984 wishbook [[:File:Seekers ad.jpg|(full-page scan)]]&lt;/ref&gt; J.C. Penney and (now-defunct) chains Zayre and Dahlkemper's put out ads in November 1984 listing Starscream and either Thundercracker or Skywarp as &quot;Decepticon Seeker&quot;. In addition, one of the earliest known ads for Transformers toys '''period''' is a Zayre circular from April 1984 that uses the term.&lt;ref name=&quot;savead&quot;&gt;1984 &quot;Seeker&quot; ads [http://pleasesavemerobots.com/vstp/vstptf84.html#depl84 (scan at The Vintage Space Toaster Palace)]&lt;/ref&gt; The term even appears as late as 1985, in a toy-ordering catalog for (now-defunct) Western Auto, a specialty retail chain for automobile parts and accessories, which lists all the standard Transformers releases from the 1984 line-up, among them the &quot;Decepticon (Seekers) Plane assortment&quot;, with Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp depicted.&lt;ref name=&quot;westernauto&quot;&gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-general-discussion/1061758-seekers-term.html]Western Auto toy ordering guide] at TFW2005.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Presumably, then, the term &quot;Seeker&quot; was likely handed down by [[Hasbro]] in promotional materials, and those retailers happened to run with it. It's impossible to know with absolute certainty, but the most curious aspect of the whole story is that members of the online ''Transformers'' fan community were widely and independently using the term largely without question since the early 1990s, when the [[fandom]] was just getting on its feet, not dissimilar to the way the term &quot;Generation 1&quot; was coined. Were those obscure toy ads truly widely seen enough, and a strong enough part of the fandom's collective memory, to determine common parlance almost ten years after the fact? Or were there more official usages that have since disappeared? ''That'' is a mystery we may never solve!<br /> <br /> ===Alternate terms===<br /> [[File:G1catalog86-DecepticonPlanes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|I don't know what to call you, [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], but I know &quot;plane&quot; isn't it.]]<br /> The most obvious alternate name for these Transformers—and the one generally used by toy [[Pack-in material|pack-in]] [[catalog]]s—is '''[[Decepticon Planes]]'''. While usually clear enough from context, this term has the weakness that there are many Decepticon planes who do not share this body-type. Also, the term is rarely, if ever, used outside of toy-specific contexts. The first [[United Kingdom|UK]] toy pack-in catalog referred to the group as '''strike planes'''.&lt;ref name=&quot;ukcat&quot;&gt;First UK toy catalog [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/img/toysheets/g1/uksheet01/1.jpg (scan at Transformers @ The Moon)]&lt;/ref&gt; The 1985 European [[Milton Bradley]] catalog calls them &quot;'''Decepticon Aeroplanes'''&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;mb&quot;&gt;[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=mb &quot;Milton Bradley Transformers&quot;] at TF-1.com.&lt;/ref&gt; In Japan, they were called '''Jetrons'''. The ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' versions were called &quot;'''Decepticon Jets'''&quot;.<br /> <br /> Within the fiction, the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]] episode &quot;[[Atlantis, Arise!]]&quot; features [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] calling Thundercracker a '''Deceptijet'''. And the 1985 Listen 'n Fun audio book &quot;[[Sun Raid (Listen 'n Fun)|Sun Raid]]&quot; has Megatron ordering the '''Deceptiplanes''' (Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker) to break off an attack. The audio book &quot;[[Jaws of Terror]]&quot; referred to them as '''Decepticon superjets'''. The multipath adventure book &quot;[[Dinobots Strike Back]]&quot; has Megatron order his '''warrior jets''' to attack the Autobots, just before a &quot;good&quot; ending which they fail to prevent. <br /> <br /> [[File:Tetrajet seekers.jpg|thumb|Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter...]]<br /> For a long time, it has been common among fans to refer to the Seekers' cartoon Cybertronian forms (from the episode &quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&quot; among others) as '''tetrajets''' because their shape resembles a {{w|tetrahedron}}, a pyramid with a triangular base.<br /> <br /> If there was ever an official term that could've given &quot;Seeker&quot; a run for its money, it was the one used on the [[Europe]]an ''Generation 2'' packaging of Starscream and Ramjet: '''Skyraiders'''.&lt;ref&gt;Starscream and Ramjet's European ''Generation 2'' packaging [http://www.cobraislandtoys.com/tf/1992/starscreamg2boxfront.jpg (photo at Cobra Island Toys)]&lt;/ref&gt; That term also appeared in those characters' profiles in the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Fleetway)|UK ''Generation 2'' comic]]. When the modern fandom dug this information up, &quot;Seeker&quot; was still considered a fan-generated term, so there was a push to supplant it with &quot;Skyraider&quot;. But Furman's use of &quot;Seeker&quot; in ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', coupled with the rediscovery of the department store advertisements, put a damper on that movement. Some years later, the term &quot;Skyraider&quot; was officially resurrected to describe the jet warriors in the [[BotCon 2009]] set &quot;[[Wings of Honor]]&quot; (based on the [[Starscream (Armada)#Energon|''Energon'' Starscream mold]]). [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]] was indicated as the body-type's developer in-universe.<br /> <br /> ==Games==<br /> ===''Transformers: Mystery of Convoy''===<br /> {{storylink|Transformers: Mystery of Convoy}}<br /> {{charstubgame}}<br /> <br /> ===''The Transformers: Battle to Save the Earth''===<br /> In this iteration of the Autobot/Decepticon conflict, it seems all the Decepticon possess the Seeker body-type.

It took a while for Starscream to come to grips with Megatron's faults, but there's no turning back. Megatron doesn't respect him, doesn't appreciate him, and would casually toss Starscream's life away if it got him something he wanted. If following Megatron is the school of hard knocks, then Starscream is the valedictorian—but not without a few scars. It caused him to be an Autobot for at least 3 episodes before giving his life and off lining.

Starscream was a member of this malevolent menagerie, one of many soldiers who followed Megatron out of greed for the power the Mini-Cons could impart upon them. When the Decepticons introduced themselves to the Cybertronian public by attacking [[Cyber City]], Starscream was there, and bested both [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] whilst augmented with the power of his Mini-Con, [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]]. The Decepticons triumphed over [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]'s Autobots, but as they were gloating, Starscream discovered that the [[Decepticon Headquarters (Armada)|Decepticon base]] had been broken into, and the Mini-Cons held captive there had escaped and fled the planet. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 2|Armada #2}}<br /> <br /> [[File:DWArmada4 Starscream jetmode.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]<br /> After a million years of war, during which the Mini-Con empowered Decepticons steadily conquered the planet, Starscream joined Megatron, [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] and [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] in traveling to the distant world of [[Earth]] when a Mini-Con distress beacon from the planet reached Cybertron. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 3|Armada #3}} While Megatron went after a group of Mini-Cons led by [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] and their newfound human friends, Starscream led the other Decepticons to a nearby military base to find suitable Earthly vehicles whose forms they could adopt. Regrouping with Megatron outside [[Science City]], Starscream downloaded Megatron's new vehicle mode into him in characteristic fashion: by suddenly stabbing him in the back with the data injector. Just as Megatron was complimenting Starscream on his choice of vehicle, the Mini-Cons came roaring by, and Starscream and Cyclonus led the chase after them, until they were stopped by the Autobots and momentarily disabled. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 4|Armada #4}}<br /> <br /> [[File:DWArmada5 Starscream Ineednoone.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|&quot;Hey, Private Haircut! I might be taking a bit too much off...YOUR HEAD!&quot;]]<br /> In the ensuing fight, Starscream and Cyclonus tried to get the jump on Scavenger, until Hot Shot and [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] intervened. Starscream went up against Hot Shot, but the Decepticons were forced to retreat when the Mini-Cons all powerlinked with the Autobots and the Decepticons were unable to match their power since, as Starscream pointed out Megatron had powerlinked with all their own Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 5|Armada #5}}<br /> <br /> Starscream went with the Decepticons to [[Rapid City]], [[South Dakota]] to capture the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]], but chafed at Megatron's greed and began trying to think up a way to stymie his plan to forge all three Mini-Cons into a [[Star Saber (Armada)|sword]]. Stalking the halls of their new [[Silver Ridge]], [[Nebraska]] base as he pondered the subject, he came across Sparkplug's Mini-Con group breaking into the base to rescue to the Air Defense Team and attempted to captured them, but they brought the room's ceiling generator down on him. {{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 6|Armada #6}} By the time he had dug himself out, Megatron had completed the forging of his new &quot;Star Saber&quot;, and Starscream joined him in attacking [[Lincoln, South Dakota]] to lure the Autobots out of hiding. Grumbling to the other Decepticons that the Megatron's latest power trip had caused him to forget about them, he decided to give their leader a reminder of their importance by instructing Megatron's Mini-Con partner [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]] to disrupt his control of the Star Saber. When Megatron subsequently lost control of the blade and the Mini-Cons making it up ecaped, Starscream mocked his loss and left. {{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 7|Armada #7}}<br /> <br /> Megatron eventually came up with the idea to mix Cybertronian technology with human anatomy to create a power source, similar to that of the Mini-Cons, and had Starscream send out [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]] into the wild to lure out some specimens. Starscream and Cyclonus surveyed the Mini-Con from overhead, and moved in once he had secured two targets: Carlos and Rad! Hot Shot, Smokescreen, and Red Alert turned up to rescue their friends, but when Megatron involved himself, the would-be-rescuers were quickly defeated. With three Autobots and two humans taken prisoner, Swindle asked Starscream to now grant him his freedom; something the bulk had agreed to grant him for his involvement in the scheme. Starscream replied by laughing in the Mini-Con's face, mocking his gullibility. Optimus then turned up, but was defeated in turn when Starscream shot him in the back while he was dueling Megatron. Starscream boasted that, while Megatron was unable to defeat Optimus on his own, all he had required to fell the Autobot was a single blast. Megatron asked if Starscream wanted to repeat his gloat while his cannon was pointed toward the Decepticon jet. Starscream nervously declined. Having been offered friendship by the humans, Swindle turned on his master and freed the Autobots from their bonds. Though the Decepticons were forced to retreat, Starscream would have the last laugh; he activated his retrieval program to snatch Swindle back up as he flew off. {{storylink|Armada Free Comic Book Day}}<br /> <br /> [[File:DWArmada10 StarscreamThrust whiner.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.95|You come wide at me again, boy and I'll stick your head right up your arse!]]<br /> When the Mini-Cons from both factions disappeared, Starscream tracked them to a strange obelisk in [[Tranquility, Kansas|Tranquility]], [[Kansas]]. Weaponry in the obelisk held Starscream back, and a battle that erupted following the Autobots' arrival distracted both sides long enough for the obelisk to blast off into space with the Mini-Cons on board. {{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 8|Armada #8}} The Decepticons followed the obelisk to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]], where Starscream was shot down by the defense systems protecting the Mini-Con moonbase that had been built there. {{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 9|Armada #9}} While Megatron worked on getting around the defenses, Starscream and newcomer [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] were sent back to their Silver Ridge headquarters to retrieve some equipment, griping at each other all the way. Coming across the unconscious body of Demolishor outside and realizing the Autobots had come a-calling, Starscream sprayed the base control with laser fire, unaware that the 'Bots in question had hidden themselves in the vents. A little later, as the pair were trying to figure out ''why'' the Autobots had broken in, Hot Shot and Red Alert suddenly burst from their hiding place and blasted Starscream into the computer behind him, to prevent the Decepticons from tracking the space bridge movements of Optimus Prime. {{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 10|Armada #10}} Megatron did eventually succeed in capturing the creators of the moonbase, the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team|Destructicon Team]], but found he could not control their power, much to Starscream's amusement. {{storylink|Fire &amp; Ice}}<br /> <br /> [[File:DWArmada13 Starscream smirk.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|He's smirking because he farted on Megatron's pillow.]]<br /> <br /> When Megatron was about to test his newest weapon, the [[Solar Scalpel]], Starscream alerted him to a shuttle of Autobots that would make the perfect guinea pigs. Starscream lambasted his leader for destroying only their shuttle, but Megatron retorted that he wanted the Autobots to see their doom coming. Starscream had the last laugh, however; [[Space Mini-Con Team]] member [[Sky Blast (Armada)|Sky Blast]] destroyed the Solar Scalpel, scuttling Megatron's plans. {{Storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 13|Armada #13}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Armada14 clean cover.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|I'll have to bury what's left of ye in a soup can!]]<br /> <br /> Lacking the skills necessary to fix the Decepticons' malfunctioning space brige, Starscream instead went out on patrol and came upon Hot Shot and several of the Autobot Mini-Cons travelling from [[Big Sur National Park]] to [[San Francisco]] and decided to follow, unaware he himself was being followed by Thrust. Blasting the Autobots out of the sky as they arrived at the construction site, Starscream spotted an [[Over-Run (Armada)|unfamiliar Mini-Con]] and made a bid to grab him, only to be knocked unconscious by a blow from behind delivered by the mysterious [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. {{Storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4}}<br /> <br /> When Leader-1 discovered the Autobots were scanning [[transwarp|subspace]] for the absent Optimus Prime, Megatron decided to strike [[Autobase|Autobase: Earth]]. Starscream fired the opening shot in the battle that followed, destroying the computer console Red Alert was stationed at and felling Red himself, but was prevented from delivering a killing blow by Megatron, who wanted to finish off the Autobot himself. Fortunately for the Autobots, Galvatron attacked the Decepticons {{Storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 2 of 4}} and handily defeated all of Megatron's lackeys. {{Storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 3 of 4}}<br /> <br /> The Decepticons eventually retreated after Megatron bested Galvatron, but were soon contacted by the returned Optimus Prime with the proposal of an alliance against Galvatron's master, the world-eating being known as [[Unicron]]. The Decepticons agreed, and everyone returned to Cybertron to prepare for the coming battle, but when Unicron appeared in the skies over their homeworld, and incredulous Starscream refused to fight, and was sure that he had seen the last of Megatron when he jetted off into the fight. As it turned out, he was right. {{Storylink|The End}}<br /> <br /> ====Dreamwave ''Energon'' comic====<br /> During the war on Cybertron, in the middle of a Decepticons mission to seek out entrenched Autobot bunkers, Starscream noted to Megatron that even though the Decepticon leader's plans were smarter and more practical, the action-before-thought demonstrations of the warrior [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] were a greater &quot;crowd-pleaser.&quot; Starscream warned his leader that Scorponok's antics might be seen as some as a challenge. {{storylink|No Exit}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Energon issue 33.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|I feel everything! I know everything!]]<br /> In the wake of the unification of Autobots and Decepticons following Unicron's defeat, Starscream had tried to ingratiate himself with [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] and the rest of the remaining Decepticons. His wheedling didn't last long, though, as [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] showed up and promptly blasted him into an Energon ore processor, which ground his body down and smelted what remained. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}} Contrary to appearances, however, this would not be the last of Starscream: later, during the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] attack on Earth, he returned in a new form, the bizarre circumstances of his death having somehow allowed him to transcend death as an Energon &quot;ghost&quot; of sorts. Investigating a blast in the processing facility, Demolishor was attacked by the spectral Starscream, who drained his energy. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}}<br /> <br /> {{note|Due to Dreamwave's subsequent bankruptcy, the ''Energon'' comic ceased publication before Starscream's story could continue. The following would have taken place in unpublished issues.}}<br /> <br /> Seeking to absorb more and more Energon, Starscream set out looking for other Transformers to drain, and came across the ever-unfortunately [[Dropshot (Armada)|Dropshot]] being menaced by Decepticons. The 'Cons scattered at the sight of a &quot;ghost&quot;, while Starscream drained Dropshot dry. He then targeted the Mini-Con [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], having sensed his connection to the Energon-rich core of Cybertron and intending to feed on it through him. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 1}} After having seemingly killed Over-Run, Starscream battled with the [[Omnicon]]s, and proved to be more than a match for their [[Energon weapon]]s, which only made him stronger. The Omnicons allowed Starscream to begin draining their energy, but as he did so, they merged their minds together and defeated him with combined force of will. Reverted into a solid form by this experience, Starscream fled. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 2}} In reality though, Starscream had only managed to destroy Over-Run's body; the Mini-Con had managed to upload his mind into Cybertron itself to escape death. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 5}}<br /> <br /> {{note|Starscream's murder of Over-Run would later be recounted in the cartoon-continuity [[Balancing Act|''Cybertron'' comic]], as the [[Unicron Singularity]] caused the comic and cartoon continuities to intertwine; see Starscream's [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity#Cybertron comic|cartoon article]] for details.}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ====''More than Meets the Eye: Armada''====<br /> {{note|Although supposedly set in the same universe as Dreamwave's ''Armada'' comic, the ''[[More than Meets the Eye: Transformers: Armada|More than Meets the Eye]]'' guidebook published after the conclusion of the series contained multiple scenarios that were incompatible with the comic's story, including some points drawn from Starscream's portrayal in the ''Armada'' cartoon.}}<br /> <br /> Starscream was originally revolted by the idea of powerlinking, but came to accept it when he realised the power the Mini-Cons could provide him. He doesn't entirely trust Swindle, suspecting he may just be &quot;fattening him up for the kill&quot;, but knows they make a powerful team together.<br /> <br /> According to [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]], Starscream botched the first mission they went on together on Cybertron, and left him for dead in the process. Tidal Wave has carried a grudge against Starscream ever since, which was only magnified when he discovered that Starscream had allegedly developed a fondness for human beings. Starscream himself confirmed this, feeling that the small creatures had opened his mind to new ways of thinking. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye: Transformers: Armada|More than Meets the Eye: Armada #3}}<br /> <br /> ===Cartoon continuity===<br /> {{main|Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity}} <br /> [[File:Armada starscream cartoon continuity.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2.2]]<br /> Starscream accompanied the Decepticons to Earth in the year 2010, but his relationship with his leader was a troubled one; where Starscream craved Megatron's respect, Megatron gave him not one ounce of it, consistently berating and even brutalizing him in some kind of twisted attempt to drive him to realize the Decepticon potential he could see within the younger 'bot. Granted control of the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] but abandoned on the battlefield as part of a feint scheme, Starscream turned against his comrades and sided with the Autobots—not out of any desire to do good, but because he hoped they would help him destroy Megatron. Although he befriended the Autobots' young human allies—[[Alexis Thi Dang]] in particular—and appeared to slowly be coming around to their way of thinking, he fell victim to the manipulations of [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] and [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]], who tricked him into returning to the Decepticon fold. When the threat of [[Unicron]] appeared, however, Starscream could see that the only way forward was for Autobots and Decepticons to unite under Optimus Prime's leadership. Coming to a fatal decision, Starscream challenged Megatron to one last battle for respect, then attacked Unicron himself, sacrificing his life to convince his leader of the threat the chaos-bringer posed.<br /> <br /> Ten years later, Starscream was resurrected by the alien [[Alpha Quintesson|Alpha Q]] using the power of [[Energon]], sans his memories, with the intent that he destroy Optimus Prime and Megatron both. But Megatron was able to harness Unicron's power and even further mindwipe Starscream, transforming him—ironically enough—into his most loyal soldier in the war for Energon. When Megatron hurled himself into an Energon sun to entrap Unicron's spark, Starscream plunged into the star alongside his leader, and was believed dead. However, in 2030, when the sun collapsed into a [[Unicron Singularity|black hole]], Starscream and Megatron were freed, and Starscream—his mind now his own once more—had a new ambition: to take leadership of the Decepticons for himself. He opted to bide his time at first, supervising the search for the [[Omega Lock]] on Earth while Megatron sought out the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, but when he located an army of [[Ancient Decepticon]]s, he made his big move. Taking on the entire Autobot army, Starscream stole the Omega Lock and the Cyber Planet Keys, and channeled from them the power of Primus, transforming himself into a skyscraper-sized giant. In a final battle with Megatron on the planet Gigantion, Starscream disappeared in a reality-sundering discharge of energy, apparently swept away across the dimensions.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Panini ''Armada'' comic===<br /> [[File:PaniniArmada1 starscream shot down.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br /> During the war on Cybertron, Starscream participated on multiple raids on Mini-Con villages. The enraged Mini-Con [[Dualor (Armada)|Dualor]] sought revenge by luring the Decepticons into an attacking an Autobot outpost, planning to blow them all up; Starscream, Cyclonus and Megatron took the bait, but Dualor's plan failed thanks to interference from [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]]. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Counter-Strike!}}<br /> <br /> Although the Mini-Cons would later abandoned the planet, the war continued after their departure. In one of many battles, Starscream strafed some Autobots, but was shot down by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]'s trailer cannon despite his Mini-Con augmentation. [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] punished him by taking [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]] away, which Starscream protested against. {{storylink|First Encounter!}} When Megatron found the Mini-Cons on Earth, he summoned Starscream, Cyclonus and [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] to the planet through a [[space bridge]]. After spending some time searching for Mini-Cons and shooting at Autobots, he was shot down by [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]]. {{storylink|Friends and Foes!}} Starscream was later present when the Decepticons made a failed grab for the Autobots' Mini-Cons, after Optimus Prime had hoped to send them back to Cybertron. Ultimately, the Mini-Cons opted to stay on Earth, and though the Decepticons didn't manage to swipe any of the little runts, they did destroy the Autobots' space bridge. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 3|No Way Back!}}<br /> [[File:PaniniArmada7 starscream vs perceptor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br /> In order to boost his own strength and overthrow Megatron, Starscream made a plan to capture the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]]. Knowing that the Mini-Con trio enjoyed saving humans, he arranged for a satellite to fall on [[Chicago]] to draw them out. True to their nature, the Air Defense Team showed up and diverted the satellite, letting Starscream attack and capture [[Jetstorm (Armada)|Jetstorm]]. Unfortunately, an Autobot team showed up and saved the Mini-Cons, but Starscream had still managed to plant a tracking device on Jetstorm. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 5|Devices and Desires!}} Following his tracker, he soon found and ambushed the Air Defense Team again, successfully capturing them, shutting off their personality chips and combining them into the powerful [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]]. Unsatisfied with even the sword, Starscream went after the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team]] to ensure he had enough power to best Megatron. They resisted and attacked Starscream in the form of [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]], and he fought back with his new Star Saber. However, disengaging Air Defense Team's personalities had been a mistake — without them, the Star Saber's power soon went wild. Lightning filled the air and Starscream began panicking as he couldn't let go of the weapon, but thankfully Optimus Prime took it from him and separated it. With his plan failed, Starscream ran away. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 7|The Two-Edged Blade!}}<br /> [[File:PaniniArmada9 starscream sonic destabiliser.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br /> After the Decepticons built a grandiose base on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Starscream was shocked to hear that Megatron planned to spare the Autobots in exchange for their Mini-Cons. Megatron confirmed that ''of course'' he was just going to trick the Autobots and blow them up after he got their Mini-Cons, and Starscream even got to fire the missiles for the job. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 8|Earthshaker!}} After the plan failed, Starscream first reported that Cyclonus was missing, and then that he was returning with too much power inside him. It turned out that Cyclonus was powered up and under the control of the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]], and while the other Decepticons attacked the &quot;traitor&quot;, Starscream had an idea. He used a [[sonic destabiliser]] to safely separate the Destruction Team from Cyclonus, and after they escaped, he contacted them and offered them a deal... {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Dawn of Destruction!}}<br /> <br /> {{note|The cancellation of the Panini ''Armada'' comic meant that Starscream's schemes never reached fruition.}}<br /> <br /> ===Starscream's Hate Mail===<br /> {{note|A mere wiki article write-up cannot convey how rude he was to the five-year-old letter-writers.}}<br /> {{charstubfiction}}<br /> After cleaning out his circuits, Starscream took a look at another batch of fan art sent in by his readers. He threatened to track down all those who submitted sub-par drawings and attack them in their homes. Starscream also reminisced fondly about bashing [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]] upon seeing a drawing of the Mini-Con, accused one of the artists to have ''traced'' the artwork he had sent in, and tried to browbeat another human into telling him the location of [[Mirage (Armada)|Mirage]] and [[Downshift (Armada)|Downshift]]. Furthermore, Starscream was amused by what he mistook as a black-eye on a rendering of Megatron, and suggested the artist join forces with him against the Decepticon leader.<br /> <br /> When a reader suggested that Starscream should simply give up trying to overthrow Megatron, Starscream threatened to reduce the puny human to a jammy residue, spread his remains on a piece of toast, and ''eat'' it. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 7|Starscream's Hate Mail #?}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Reader's Digest ''Armada'' novels===<br /> Starscream was one of the Decepticons teleported to Earth by the warp gate within the remains of a Mini-Con ship. Despite the radical change in scenery, Starscream continued to do battle against the Autobots who had been teleported alongside them. The fighting came to an end, temporarily, thanks to the efforts of [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]]. The Decepticons retreated to the Earth's moon, where they begun reinforcement partial remains of the Mini-Cons' ship into a base of operations. {{storylink|Transformers Armada: The Battle Begins|The Battle Begins}}<br /> <br /> Megatron tasked Starscream with scanning all of the Earth’s vehicles to find suitable alternate modes for the Decepticons. Once the task was completed, Starscream offered Megatron first-pick of alternate mode, hoping to charm the Decepticon leader. But Megatron was aware of Starscream's scheming nature, and was unmoved by his second-in-command's sycophancy. After Megatron selected a &quot;super-tank&quot; as his choice of alternate mode, Starscream elected to adopt a fighter jet as his disguise. Once the other two members of Megatron's inner-circle, Demolishor and Cyclonus, had also taken on new alternate modes, Megatron led his troops in an attack on the Autobots' base. The Decepticons blasted the mountain concealing the Autobots' base until the Autobots' human allies, Carlos, Alexis and Rad, approached the war-zone with their companion Mini-Cons. Megatron demanded that the children hand over their Mini-Cons, but the Autobots soon caught up to their allies and launched a counter-attack against the Decepticons.<br /> <br /> Though they managed to get a few hits on Optimus, Starscream and Cyclonus were forced to double back to Megatron’s side when the Autobot leader assumed his “Super Optimus Prime” mode and swatted the Decepticon fliers out of the air. Megatron, having recently acquired a Mini-Con partner, proved to be of minimal help on the battlefield, as he had difficulty controlling his newfound power. Starscream helped Megatron right himself after the recoil of one of his shots sent him reeling, only for his leader to bark at him to deal with Optimus Prime instead. The hope that Optimus would destroy Megatron swelled in Starscream's mind as he, Demolishor and Cyclonus rushed the Autobot leader. Optimus easily swatted Starscream out of the air once more. Recognizing that the Decepticons were outmatched, Megatron called for a retreat.<br /> <br /> Back on the Moon, the Decepticons began to squabble between themselves over their defeat. The kerfuffle was interrupted by Cyclonus, who had lingered behind as the others had teleported away. As it turns out, the Autobots' human allies had uncovered more dormant Mini-Cons during the fight, and Cyclonus had managed to snatch away two panels before fleeing. Starscream tried to grab one of the Mini-Cons for himself, but Megatron denied him the opportunity to amass more power. Since Cyclonus was the one who stole the Mini-Cons, Megatron allowed him to keep one of them. The other Mini-Con was given to Demolishor. Upset at this turn of events, Starscream claimed that as second-in-command, he deserved his own Mini-Con. Megatron replied that, as second-in-command, Starscream should be capable of acquiring a Mini-Con on his own. {{storylink|Transformers Armada: Race for the Mini-Con Robots|Race for the Mini-Con Robots}}<br /> <br /> ===The Balance of Power===<br /> [[File:BalanceofPower starscream datacon.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67]]<br /> During the war on Cybertron, the Autobots and Decepticons met in battle while searching for a mysterious relic that could allegedly reveal what had become of the Mini-Cons who had long ago vanished from the planet. While Cyclonus and an army of [[Decepticlone]]s kept the Autobots busy, Starscream snuck away from the combat and managed to unearth the relic, which turned out to be a [[Data-Con]]. The device contained a recording left by the Mini-Cons that provided a flight plan and tracking codes for their vessel, which Starscream intended to keep for himself. However, just as he was attempting to perform a deep-space probe to locate the craft's current resting place, either by coincidence or consequence, a Mini-Con distress beacon screamed to life, alerting all the other combatants to the Mini-Cons' current location. Starscream and the Decepticons took off through a space bridge, tracking the signal back to the source, and the Autobots pursued... {{storylink|The Balance of Power}}<br /> {{note|This comic was written as a tie-in to the [[Transformers (PS2)|''Armada'' video game]], but its details differ from the introduction seen in the game itself.

Optimus Prime and [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] intercepted the Decepticon pair before they could discover the location of their base, but in the mid-air combat that ensued, the villains' [[Cyber Key]] powers allowed them to gain the upper hand. Impaling Optimus Prime through the shoulder with his Cyber Key swords, Starscream broke off the battle and retraced the Autobots' flight path, looking for their base, evening managing to shoot Prime down when he attempted to pursue. Fortunately for the Autobots, their human ally [[Coby Hansen]] was able to get the base's shielding up in time to hide it from Starscream's prying eyes, and the Decepticon was then taken down by an unexpected blast from Optimus Prime's Cyber Key-powered cannons. {{storylink|The Devil's Dogfight! Coby's Courage}}<br /> <br /> {{charstubfiction|{{Storylink|Deep Sea Discovery! Vector Prime}}}}<br /> <br /> Following Megatron's disappearance in the explosion of the starship ''[[Atlantis]]'', Starscream took control of what small Decepticon force was currently active, and dispatched Thundercracker to [[Velocitron]] to obtain that world's [[Cyber Planet Key]]. Unsurprisingly, the Autobots defeated him and took the key for themselves. {{storylink|Fastest Dream! Hot Shot's Run}}<br /> <br /> They also later obtained the key from [[Animatron|Jungle Planet]], where Starscream watched their victory from afar. {{storylink|Galaxy Force Mission.7}}<br /> [[File:GFmanga8 super starscream.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br /> With two keys and their focusing device the [[Omega Lock]] now gathered in one place, Starscream was able to send his newest recruit [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] to steal them all from the Autobots at once, then rejoined with him at the location of the third Cyber Planet Key, hidden on Earth itself. Optimus Prime and [[Vector Prime]] had followed Sideways, however, and a battle over the key broke out; although a blast from Optimus took off nearly half of Starscream's face, he still triumphed over the two Autobots, wrested the Earth key from its pedestal and added it to the Omega Lock. The combined energy of the three keys flowed into Starscream, transforming him into a skyscraper-sized giant. As if this were not enough, the activation of the Earth key also awoke an army of ancient Decepticons slumbering on Earth, who began laying siege to the planet at Starscream's command. {{storylink|Galaxy Force Mission.8}} The Autobots proved no match for Starscream's new powers, as he took Optimus down with his new Cyber Key blaster, blowing his chest open and exposing the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. When the Autobot aerial ace [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]] arrived with news that [[Primus]] had awoken, however, the bolstered Prime rose, protected from Starscream's blasts by the Matrix, and merged with Wing Saber into his &quot;Sonic Wing&quot; mode. The combined Autobots tore into Starscream, and the titanic Decepticon was vanquished in a huge explosion. {{storylink|Galaxy Force Mission.9}}<br /> <br /> {{note|The ''Galaxy Force'' manga was cancelled before it could reach the end of the story, so it's unknown if Starscream would have returned in later chapters the way he did in the cartoon.}}<br /> <br /> ===Cyber Key Code content===<br /> Years ago, Starscream was responsible for slicing off Red Alert's hand with his sword during a battle on Cybertron.

Thus Starscream had no need to sacrifice himself to convince Megatron of the threat of Unicron, and after Megatron's apparent demise, Starscream took command of the Decepticons. This led to a stronger Autobot/Decepticon alliance, one that partially survived the coming of the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]]s, the return and death again of Megatron, the [[Unicron Singularity]] crisis, and beyond. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/19}}<br /> <br /> ===Spacewarp's Log===<br /> [[Spacewarp]] claimed to know Ulchtar.

He also located his own Mini-Con, [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]]. When the Autobots ventured too close to the base, Starscream attacked (blowing up the hangar he was holed up in first), using his superior speed and sword skills as well as aerial attacks.

This also gave them the chance to infiltrate the downed ship and free the captive Mini-Con [[Aftershock (Armada)|Aftershock]] from the control room. As they were leaving Starscream surprised them and briefly fought them in the control room. He attempted to use his null laser cannons at full power in an attempt to finish off his foes, but only succeeded in cutting the rock face below the ship, which collapsed and sent the precariously balanced ship plunging into the valley below. The impact of the crash buried the bow deep into the earth, forcing the Autobots to climb their way up and out to the surface. When the Autobots pulled free from the buried ship and got back to ground-level, Starscream attacked again even stronger than in their previous encounter. But this battle too ultimately ended in defeat, leading Optimus Prime to interrogate him as to the whereabouts of Megatron. When Starscream refused (hinting a desire to kill him as well) he attempted to fire his null ray at point-blank range, Optimus knocked him unconscious with a well-aimed punch. He then ordered Red Alert to hack the treacherous Decepticon's warp transponder, which led them to Megatron's [[Pacific Island]] base.

While he serves as Megatron's right-hand man, he constantly looks for a way to become the commander himself and Megatron knows it: Starscream's extremely volatile personality means he is not adept at hiding his true intent. Fortunately for Megatron, Starscream is prone to panic, cowardice and bombastic gestures, meaning that it'd take exceptional circumstances for Starscream to actually manage to get behind him to shove the knife in. Though if you are kind to Starscream, he will return the kindness greatly. <br /> <br /> and he may be a scientist, but [[#Notes|we're not quite sure]].<br /> <br /> {{quote|That shot was perfect, much like the one who fired it!|Starscream after achieving a headshot|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]]''}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===Aligned novels===<br /> Starscream may or may not have had a history as a scientist. Regardless of what he did prior, in the early days before the war began he was one of the leaders of the Cybertronian Air Command. When [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] fell into chaos following bombings by [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s [[Decepticon]] followers, Starscream was posted as [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]]'s bodyguard. He was with the Prime at [[Altihex]] Casino during a performance by comedian [[Armorhide (WFC)|Armorhide]] when the Decepticons attacked. Sentinel's attempt to flee rather than fight back made Starscream ashamed of his leader, so he had [[Skywarp (WFC)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]] take him to [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] Prison rather than the safety of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. This earned him loyalty with Megatron, but wary of how sour a revolution could quickly turn Starscream opted not to be directly involved in the gladiator's operations, posting his Seekers at [[Moonbase One|Moon Base One]] and [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] Station. Megatron was intrigued by why Starscream wanted to occupy &quot;that semi-sentient pile of junk&quot; but despite [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Orion Pax]]'s research they found no clues, with information regarding the Station seemingly censored.<br /> <br /> Whenever Starscream's Seekers were present, the Decepticons were victorious in battle against the [[Autobot]]s. Starscream however, found Megatron's strategies overly convoluted. As the war devolved into a siege of Iacon, Megatron and [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], by probing into forgotten areas of the [[DataNet]], discovered Trypticon was a storage of [[Dark Energon]], the life essence of [[Unicron]]. When questioned, Starscream explained since even the Air Command was not sure what Dark Energon was, he had forbidden its use, fearing the damage Megatron's gladiators would unleash. Megatron forgave Starscream, noting how he &quot;was smart enough to be afraid of it&quot;, and was granted access.<br /> <br /> Starscream sent a message to the Autobots proposing a meeting. Optimus only granted him a communication channel. Starscream stated if the Autobots did not know what Dark Energon was (they did) they would need to find out — and asked what would he could expect from them if something happened to Megatron. Optimus replied that he sought a just peace. Starscream said he understood, broke off the conversation and flew to [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] Prison where Sentinel was held. Starscream offered Sentinel a chance to redeem his cowardly behavior at Altihex. The ultimate aim of this road to becoming Decepticon leader was to become [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] in a peace settlement with Optimus, and lead Cybertron back to its [[Golden Age]]. Starscream then flew to Moon Base One when Megatron ordered him to Trypticon, where he found the Decepticons had invaded the Station and slaughtered and maimed his scientists. <br /> <br /> Megatron and [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] forced Starscream to select two survivors to absorb [[Dark Energon]], for what was a successful experiment. Requiring more for the Decepticon war effort, Megatron ordered Starscream to capture the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]], below the ruins of [[Crystal City]]. Empowered by his first taste of Dark Energon, Starscream activated the device that transmitted Energon to the Station for it to be Darkened. But the Bridge still did not produce enough, and Starscream was ordered to find the [[Code Key]] of Power and Key of Justice to the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] underneath the [[High Council Tower]] in Iacon. Starscream decided it was time to release Sentinel, renouncing Dark Energon after realizing Megatron had turned his soldiers into addicts. Starscream found the Key of Power within the [[High Council Tower|Hall of Justice]] and flew underground to find his plan had failed, as Megatron had mortally wounded Sentinel. He could see within Sentinel's body was the Key of Justice, but was prevented from taking it by [[Blackout (WFC)|Blackout]]. Megatron fought Starscream to a standstill, sparing him because he realized he was a better soldier than a would-be example. <br /> <br /> As Megatron entered the Chamber, [[Teletraan-1 (WFC)|Teletraan-1]] activated the legendary [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] to fly it away. Aware Starscream had a better chance of escaping Omega's awakening, Megatron ordered Starscream and his Seekers to down Omega, in exchange for more Dark Energon. Giving up on his attempt to give up his addiction, Starscream gleefully accepted and they successfully blew Omega out of the sky, allowing the Decepticons to retrieve the Chamber and corrupt the [[core]]. As Cybertron became uninhabitable, the Autobots left on the largest starship ever built - the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]''. Starscream left the planet with Megatron as they gave pursuit on Trypticon, now a ''Nemesis''-class supercruiser. The two ships entered a [[space bridge]], which separated the two ships to unknown parts of space... {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}<br /> <br /> {{note|Starscream's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic &quot;[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (comic)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]].&quot;}}<br /> <br /> {{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}} {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}}}}<br /> <br /> ===Ask Vector Prime===<br /> In [[Uniend 610.23 Zeta]], {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime}} Starscream lead the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s in the Battle at [[Tyger Pax]]. Focused on taking the pressure off the Decepticons' vulnerable rear, Starscream opened fire on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] to protect [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], and then forced the Autobot into a retreat, despite [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]]'s attempts to bring Starscream down. <br /> <br /> After the [[AllSpark]] was launched into space, Starscream, stunned and damaged, tumbled out of control and crashed on the surface of Tyger Pax, though he recovered in time to retreat with Megatron. {{storylink|Bumblebee at Tyger Pax}}<br /> <br /> ===IDW Aligned comics===<br /> Visiting [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]'s citadel to check up on his research, Starscream was annoyed to find that the scientist was prioritizing his experiments on [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticons]] over supplying the Decepticon war effort with more energon. He failed to see how the &quot;bugs&quot; would win them the war but gave up on trying to convince Shockwave otherwise, choosing to let Megatron deal with him instead. {{storylink|Secrets (FOC)|Secrets}} Starscream later participated in Megatron's assault on [[Metroplex (FOC)|Autobot City]]. {{storylink|Last Stand}} {{storylink|Fragmentation (FOC)|Fragmentation}}<br /> <br /> While [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]'s mind was suffering from Shockwave's experiments, he had a vision of himself being approached by Starscream and throwing him into a nearby console. {{storylink|Fall}} This vision eventually came to pass, and Grimlock was able to escape from Shockwave's lab by exploiting Starscream's greed and lust for power. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 4|Rage of the Dinobots #4}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Primecomic-Starscream.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|I am okay with the events that unfolding currently.]]<br /> Starscream had been on [[Earth]] at some point, but was assigned by Megatron to scour the galaxy for remnants of space bridge technology. Returning to their dead homeworld, Starscream built a weapons lab in Kaon and began building a space bridge. He was informed by his [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s elsewhere they had apprehended the Autobot spy [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]]. Later, after basking in the glory of successfully activating the space bridge that would return them to Earth and its [[Energon]], Starscream realized Cliffjumper was present. The Autobot claimed to be freed by his captors after defecting to the Decepticons, and warned them of [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]]: this ruse successfully distracted Starscream long enough for Arcee to activate and overload the space bridge, but he jumped in after them moments before the lab was blown sky high.<br /> <br /> Falling to Earth, a dazed Starscream picked up a [[bunny rabbit]], commenting that [[human]]s were smaller than he remembered. [[Scanning]] a fleet of jets flying overhead, he found Cliffjumper and Arcee driving on a road and launched a missile at them. He picked up Arcee's blown off arm and started battering Cliffjumper with it, but the Autobot blew up the rock formation above them and crushed Starscream with the rubble. Having received Starscream's signal, [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] came to his rescue, and the duo pursued and overwhelmed the Autobots. Just as Starscream was about to send them back to the [[AllSpark]], Optimus jumped and landed on him, while gunning Breakdown away. As Starscream greeted his opponent, [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] tapped him on the shoulder and sent him flying. Optimus opted not to finish the job, allowing Starscream to escape and fight another day as he got Cliffjumper and Arcee to base. {{storylink|Transformers: Prime (graphic novel)|Transformers: Prime}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Prime'' cartoon===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Steve Blum]] (English), [[Satoshi Tsuruoka]] (Japanese)|[[Jiang Ke]] (Chinese), [[Leopoldo Ballesteros]] (Spain-Spanish), [[Jin-uk Hong]] (Korean), [[Gianluca Iacono]] (Italian), [[Gerald Paradies]] (German), [[José Antonio Macías]] (Latin American Spanish), [[Nicolas Dubois]] (French), [[Nestor Chiesse]] (Brazilian Portuguese), [[Tero Koponen]] (Finnish), [[Gunnar Ernblad]] (Swedish)}}<br /> <br /> [[File:DarknessRising1-Starscreamsneer.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|One look sells him as Starscream.]]<br /> Before Starscream joined Megatron and the Decepticons, he was commander of a squadron of Energon Seekers on Cybertron. {{Storylink|Partners}} During the War, Starscream was present at [[Tyger Pax]] when [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] interrogated the Autobot [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}}<br /> <br /> Following the [[Great Exodus]], Starscream intercepted a coded Autobot transmission and managed to trap [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]]. When his interrogation methods failed to extract anything he could use to decode the transmission, he took them to [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], who used a [[cortical psychic patch]] on Arcee and revealed the transmission to be from Optimus Prime on [[Earth]]. Upon being questioned by Cliffjumper of his lack of bravery, Starscream tried to kill the Autobot only to be captured by Arcee. Upon being threatened by Arcee, he cracked and revealed Shockwave's plan; to build a space bridge under Kaon. Starscream was then knocked out but regained contentiousness and pursued the two Autobots to the space bridge. Unfortunately, the space bridge was destroyed with Shockwave, Cliffjumper, and Arcee still inside, but Starscream was able to escape. Starscream presumably took the Decepticons to Earth via the Nemesis soon after. {{storylink|Out of the Past}}<br /> <br /> When the Decepticons arrived on Earth, Starscream scouted an old Decepticon ship called the ''[[Harbinger]]'' that had crashed landed years back. However, he failed to record the coordinates of the crash site or find the [[Immobilizer]]. {{Storylink|Partners}} In time, Megatron departed Earth to gather an army out in space, leaving Starscream in charge. Starscream spent his time sending out [[Vehicon (Prime)|Decepticon grunts]] to search for [[Energon]] deposits{{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}, and managed to set up a lucrative energon mine in secret. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}} <br /> <br /> Three years later, one of Starscream's energon searches was interrupted by Cliffjumper. Once Cliffjumper was defeated by the Vehicons, Starscream personally killed the Autobot. [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] alerted him to Arcee's location, and Starscream decided she would be their next target. Later, when Soundwave received a signal from deep space, Starscream hesitantly opened the space bridge for Megatron's return. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} Megatron revealed to Starscream that he'd brought back [[Dark Energon]], and Starscream provided Cliffjumper's corpse so they could test the substance's reanimation properties. When the undead Cliffjumper's signal led the Autobots to the mine, Starscream blew the facility up on Megatron's orders. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> [[File:DarknessRising3-interrogateFowler.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|&quot;No, Mister Fowler, I expect you to be saved at the last minute!&quot;]]<br /> Following a test of Dark Energon on himself, Megatron took off for parts unknown, leaving Starscream in charge once more. When Soundwave picked up [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]]'s transmissions, Starscream had the human captured and began trying to extract the location of the Autobot base from him. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}} The interrogation almost succeeded, but for the arrival of Arcee, Bumblebee and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] who, after a standoff, forced Starscream to retreat. Once Megatron returned to the ship, he was outraged at Starscream's actions and proceeded to beat his subordinate for &quot;delaying his plans&quot;. Starscream managed to quell his master's anger by announcing he had a way to get their plans back on course. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}<br /> <br /> [[File:DarknessRising5-ohgeez.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Oh my God. It's called toothpaste, use it.]]<br /> As it turned out, his plan was to send Soundwave down to use the [[Giant Sized Array]] radio telescope on Earth to set the space bridge's target. Once the bridge was properly targeted, Starscream opened it so that Megatron could throw the chunk of Dark Energon though. Starscream moved the ship back to a safe distance when the fighting on the rim of the space bridge became more intense, while imploring his master to withdraw as well. Alas, the space bridge exploded, apparently taking Megatron with it, and Starscream gave a brief eulogy before declaring himself leader {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}} and danced in celebration while imploring the troops to chant his name. {{storylink|Patch (episode)|Patch}}<br /> [[File:Patch Starscream dances.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|What'cha doin' on your back?! You should be dancing, YEAH!!!!]]<br /> <br /> [[File:Masters&amp;Students-SoundwaveStarscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|*ping*&quot;FINE! FINE! I'LL WRITE A THANK-YOU NOTE!&quot;]]<br /> Starscream's speeches were poorly received. Intending to find more potentially-loyal warriors, Starscream took Soundwave to try to revive the long-dormant [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]]. To Starscream's disappointment, Skyquake was loyal only to Megatron, and interested only in fighting the Autobots who arrived. A signal detected by Soundwave sent Starscream to the location of the space bridge explosion, where he found Megatron's body and ripped the sliver of Dark Energon from it. He was forced by the observing [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] to return the body to the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'', where he also learned that Skyquake had been terminated by the Autobots. {{storylink|Masters &amp; Students}}<br /> <br /> When [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] arrived on Earth, Starscream had him captured and substituted [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]] with the mission to open the Autobot [[GroundBridge]] to let the Decepticon forces into the Autobot base. Unfortunately Wheeljack broke free before the plan could succeed, and as a result, Makeshift was expelled from the Autobot base onto the ''Nemesis'' hull with an activated grenade. Starscream vacated the hull before Makeshift exploded. {{storylink|Con Job}} After Soundwave picked up on [[Dynamic Nuclear Generation System|another Autobot operation]], Starscream figured it was a good opportunity to get rid of the Autobots while they were distracted, and sent a squadron of Vehicons on a search and destroy mission. {{storylink|Convoy (episode)|Convoy}}<br /> <br /> [[File:DeusExMachina-Screamer grins.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|&quot;We've had too much Energon shed. I think that a cleansing is in order.&quot;]]<br /> To Starscream's discomfort, the crew held a vote and he was obliged to call in [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] to aid in Megatron's recovery. The discovery that an [[Energon Harvester]] was located in an museum on Earth was all the excuse Starscream needed to put that on hold, and the other Decepticons soon obtained the device for him. While they were testing it in [[Greece]], Bulkhead attacked them and destroyed the Harvester. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}} Starscream was irritated by Knock Out's participation in street racing, and eventually decided to make an example of him. {{storylink|Speed Metal}}<br /> <br /> [[File:OutOfHisHead-grabby.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|That's ''not'' how ATB Megatron and Starscream combine!]]<br /> Some time later, after the ship's electromagnetic shielding failed, Starscream put the Vehicons to work fixing it. Offering Knock Out a post as second-in-command, Starscream persuaded him to help convince Soundwave that Megatron was a lost cause. They were interrupted by Arcee and Bumblebee, who were doing something with Megatron's corpse, and after chasing the two Autobots off, they discovered that Megatron no longer had any brain activity. {{storylink|Sick Mind}} Overjoyed at this, Starscream began a new plan, constructing a heat ray which he attempted to use to melt a glacier to get to a huge [[energon]] deposit. Unfortunately, not only did the Autobots arrive and destroy the heat ray, but Megatron was resurrected and dragged the protesting Starscream away for punishment. {{storylink|Out of His Head}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Shadowzone-gah.jpg|thumb|225px|Damn, in another [[Starscream (Movie)|continuity]] the arm comes off and they mock it in this one.]]<br /> Starscream ended up in the infirmary as a result of Megatron's punishment, but continued undaunted in his plans. He took the chunk of Dark Energon he'd been hiding, and went to the site of Skyquake's grave, intending to resurrect the warrior as well as imbuing himself with Dark Energon. Unfortunately the Autobots arrived before Skyquake rose, and Starscream had to retreat through the Decepticon GroundBridge, albeit minus his right arm. After subjecting himself to treatment from Knock Out, Starscream returned to the site to confirm whether Skyquake had risen, only to be attacked by Skyquake's zombified right arm. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}}<br /> <br /> When Breakdown was captured to [[MECH]], Starscream's suggestion they rescue their comrade was turned down by Megatron. Starscream went anyway, and found Breakdown had already been rescued by Bulkhead, but escorted Breakdown back to the ship. {{storylink|Operation: Breakdown}} At an old energon mine, Megatron confronted Starscream about his many transgressions and prepared to terminate his subordinate. Starscream was only saved by the arrival of the Autobots, but on escaping the collapsed mine, realized that he would have to go back in and attempt to rescue Megatron, or face his master's possible wrath later. Venturing back inside, he ended up tangling with the Autobots, and when Megatron later found him, he had been left supporting a large boulder. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Partners-ScreamPrisoner.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|Why am I always seen like this? Chest and lower body off to one side, head towards y'all.]]<br /> Starscream was sent with [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]] to locate the ''Harbinger'' wreck, only for the spider to leave him webbed up when it turned out the ship was broken in half and the weapon they sought was in the other half. Starscream was found by the Autobots and attempted to convince them he wanted to switch sides, even pointing them to the location of the weapon Airachnid was after. Unfortunately he let slip he'd been the one to kill Cliffjumper, provoking Arcee into attacking him. After fighting her, he was able to limp away, though he decided from then on he would be an independent. {{storylink|Partners}}<br /> <br /> Many months later, Starscream snuck on board the ''Nemesis'' to steal [[energon cube]]s and blundered into the workroom that was being used by the recently-amnesiac Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}} Starscream soon realized what was going on, but when more Vehicons arrived, he was wounded while fleeing the ship. He contacted the Autobots to exchange information for medical help. When [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] and Bulkhead arrived, it turned out they already knew about Optimus's situation, but were interested in what he knew about the space bridge, so he was able to trade the information for aid. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> [[File:OperationBumblebee1 Silas meets Starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|&quot;Wanna know how I got these scars?&quot;]]<br /> Tracking a signal, Starscream stumbled upon a MECH trap already sprung by Bumblebee. He was intrigued and followed the MECH helicopter and watched as they tried to install the [[transformation cog|T-cog]] they'd taken into a robot. When their attempt to make the robot work failed, Starscream revealed himself and managed to strike a partnership with them. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} With Starscream's help, MECH secured a source of energon and Starscream was there when they used it on their robot. As Bumblebee came looking for his T-cog, Starscream helped defend it, but when it looked like Bumblebee might get it back, Starscream blasted it and left. Unfortunately Silas was less than impressed, and after a short nap thanks to MECH's weapons, Starscream woke up minus his own T-cog. {{Storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}<br /> <br /> When [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]] arrived on Earth looking for Skyquake, Megatron informed him of Skyquake's passing, noting that Skyquake had perished under Starscream's command. {{storylink|Loose Cannons}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Crossfire Starscream injured.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|Ouch.]]<br /> While scavenging for energon, Starscream found that Airachnid had been cast out from the Decepticons and obtained a pet in the form of an [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]]. She spurned his suggestion that they team up to defeat Megatron, and he barely escaped with his life. Wounded, he employed his previous trick to get medical help from the Autobots in exchange for information about Airachnid's activities, and even later saved Arcee from Airachnid, sparing her life like she spared his much, much earlier. {{storylink|Crossfire}}<br /> <br /> Starscream returned to the ''Harbinger'' in search of energon, and instead found a laboratory containing five [[protoform]]s and the equipment necessary for [[cloning]]. He had soon whipped up five [[Starscream clone (Prime)|Starscream clone]]s, which he dispatched to dispatch Megatron. Unfortunately he soon discovered that he could sympathetically feel every injury they suffered, which gave him a good idea how the mission was going. When the last clone returned to report failure, Starscream sensed the clone's treachery and blasted it. Fully aware of the effect on him, he terminated the clone, screaming in their shared pain as he did. {{storylink|Armada (episode)|Armada}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Triangulation Starscream Apex armor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.34|Starscream SMASH!]]<br /> He was about to operate on himself to install the clone's T-cog when the ship detected the Decepticons sending teams out to locations around the globe. Intrigued, he used the ship's GroundBridge to reach [[Antarctica]], only to be captured by Dreadwing, whom he at first mistook for Skyquake. Eventually, Optimus arrived, and after Dreadwing was buried in an avalanche and the Vehicons accompanying him were dispatched, Starscream now found himself as Optimus's prisoner. The two followed a trail to a human research station where the relic everyone was after was being held. Dreadwing soon arrived and another battle between him and Optimus took place. As they fought, Starscream freed the relic, the [[Apex Armor (Prime)|Apex Armor]], from the ice block containing it and claimed it as his own. Covered in a full body suit and towering over both of them, Starscream used the armor to fight both Optimus and Dreadwing, a fight in which he was the aggressor for once in a long time. Though Starscream had enhanced strength and was rendered invulnerable, he still couldn't fly, and a few of Dreadwing's bombs created a hole in the ice which he fell through. He was subsequently forced to plod along the bottom of the ocean. {{storylink|Triangulation}}<br /> <br /> [[File:NewRecruit-Starscreammonkey.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Next on his list of cat-related videos is Nyan Ravage.]]<br /> Back at the ''Harbinger'', Starscream discovered a photo of [[Red Energon]] on the [[Internet]], as well as a dancing monkey which came as much amusement to him. He took the Apex Armor with him, tracking the substance down to a dockyard where he was confronted by Optimus, Arcee and Bumblebee. Donning the armor, he attempted to retrieve the Red Energon first, and managed to rip a chunk off after Optimus knocked him off the crane. While he was trying to tip the crane over, [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] arrived, and using a [[phase shifter]], removed Starscream from the Apex Armor. The Decepticon responded by firing a missile at the three Autobots on the crane and escaping with a chunk of Red Energon. {{storylink|New Recruit}}<br /> <br /> Starscream set about refining the Red Energon, though the process was slow and only yielded enough for one or two doses. Alerted to a Decepticon operation by the ''Harbinger'''s computers, he used it on himself and soon found Smokescreen had uncovered a relic. Using his new hyperspeed to blindside him, Starscream was able to obtain one of the [[Omega Key]]s, which he later overheard Bulkhead describing as a way to revitalize Cybertron. {{storylink|Hard Knocks}}<br /> <br /> [[File:TFP Inside Job Starscream fistful of keys.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|SQUEE! I've collected all four!]]<br /> Though thinking of restoring Cybertron and ruling it himself, Starscream decided that he didn't have the proper resources to do so. Coming up with a plan, Starscream lured Optimus, Ratchet and Bulkhead to a remote location with the promise of the key he'd found in return for the installation of the T-Cog from his clone. In reality, he used his remaining Red Energon to allow him to infiltrate the Autobot base while leaving the clone behind for the Autobots to find. While stealing the other three keys from, the Autobots figured out his clone was a ruse, and Starscream only just managed to get back through the Ground Bridge. After taking a moment to taunt the Autobots, the Red Energon wore off, and he quickly bridged away to the ''Nemesis'', with the Omega Keys as a peace offering to Megatron. {{storylink|Inside Job}}<br /> <br /> [[File:PatchMegatronStarscream.JPG|thumb|left|upright=1.4| This feels familiar...]]<br /> Requesting to rejoin the Decepticons, the unconvinced Megatron subjected Starscream to a cortical psychic patch and began rummaging in his memories to determine his true motives. Despite the incriminating nature of most of the memories, Megatron's analysis of Starscream's strengths and weaknesses (including the loss of his T-cog and the fact that Starscream is not the only untrustworthy Decepticon on the Nemesis), has him decide to allow Starscream to serve by his side, as he is better with him than against him. Starscream was so relieved by the turn of events that he thanked the All Spark, but Dreadwing was not so pleased about this development. {{storylink|Patch (episode)|Patch}}<br /> <br /> [[File:RegenerationOmegaKeysHologram.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]<br /> Knock Out restored Starscream's T-Cog, though immediately afterwards Starscream was attacked by a murderous Dreadwing and had to be saved by Megatron. After Starscream helped Knock Out unlock the secret of the Omega Keys, Megatron left him in charge of the ''Nemesis''. Starscream used information gathered by Soundwave to kidnap the Autobots' three human friends and took them to Cybertron for Megatron to use as hostages. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}}<br /> <br /> After handing over [[Jack Darby]] in exchange for two of the keys, Starscream took part in the activation of the [[Omega Lock]]. He survived the explosion caused by the Lock's destruction at Optimus's hand, and when Knock Out attempted a quip, knocked the medic down and demanded he tend to Megatron. Starscream returned to Earth with Megatron to take part in an attack on the Autobot base, during which he shot down Wheeljack's ship, the ''[[Jackhammer (Prime)|Jackhammer]]'', with Wheeljack still inside. Following the attack, he and Megatron landed in the remains of the base. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}<br /> <br /> While the other Decepticons dug around in the ruins, Starscream more productively had Wheeljack pulled from the wreckage of the ''Jackhammer''. When human military forces turned up, Starscream offered to unleash the armada on them, but Megatron dealt with the matter using [[Darkmount (Earth)|Darkmount]]'s fusion cannons. His interrogation of Wheeljack did not go nearly as well. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}}<br /> <br /> With the arrival of Shockwave, Megatron appointed the newcomer second lieutenant in charge of science, usurping Starscream's role slightly. Starscream attempted to get his own back by discovering a photo of Ratchet on the internet, only to be embarrassed when it was switched for a picture of a dancing monkey by Raf. He attempted a new gambit—allowing Wheeljack to escape with a tracking device, believing it would lead them to the other Autobots, however Wheeljack discovered the bug and turned the tables on the pursuing Decepticons. Megatron's anger was only stemmed by Shockwave bringing [[Predaking (Prime)|a Predacon he cloned]] to Earth. {{storylink|Scattered}}<br /> <br /> Starscream complained to Knock Out about the pressures of his position. When the Predacon returned from its flight to catch Autobots empty-handed, Starscream noted it was a pity the beast couldn't tell them why it failed. {{storylink|Prey (episode)|Prey}} Starscream was pleased when Decepticon monitoring finally bore fruit and located the Autobots. Unfortunate this turned out to be a series of diversions designed to have the Decepticons spread their forces out, and Megatron was not happy that Starscream fell for it. Darkmount subsequently came under attack and though Starscream did his best to coordinate a defense, the battle ended with him ordering a retreat to the ''Nemesis'' as the base was destroyed. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}} When it looked like the Decepticons were about to embark on another scavenger hunt, Starscream was dismayed, but fortunately it turned out that Shockwave had micro-chipped all his creations, and the fossils they needed would be easy to find. {{storylink|Project Predacon}}<br /> <br /> [[File:ChainOfCommandInForItNow.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|The hills are alive with the sound of Starscream's butthurt.]]<br /> Following the surprise return of the existing Predacon, Starscream was dismayed to find it put in his charge. He had immense trouble controlling the beast and resorted to using the Apex Armor to protect himself from its attacks. Megatron sent Starscream and the Predacon to [[Scotland]], where they found the Autobots had destroyed a team of Decepticons hunting for bones there. While the Predacon took on the Autobots, Starscream found Miko trying to reach Magnus's ship and accidentally lost the Apex Armor to her. Battle ensued, but when the Predacon left for the ''Nemesis'', Starscream and his two seekers found themselves outnumbered by Autobots and retreated. {{storylink|Chain of Command (Prime)|Chain of Command}} In Megatron's bad books again, Starscream was further inconvenienced when the Predacon damaged the ship's communication dish. Though he tried to have it repaired by the Vehicons, it didn't go so well, and Megatron eventually found out. {{storylink|Plus One (Prime)|Plus One}}<br /> <br /> Starscream found Knock Out in the middle of experimenting with [[Synthetic Energon]], and had the medic add Dark Energon to the mix, believing it would allow Megatron to control the results. Instead the new mix transformed Cylas into an energon-sucking zombie and created a plague which resulted in Knock Out and Starscream being chased through the ship. Confronted by Megatron, they were forced to admit what they were done, and were sent to locate and destroy Cylas. They eventually found he had already been dispatched, but to Starscream's dismay, the deed had been done by the recently freed Airachnid. Fortunately he didn't have to deal with her as well, but he later had to face Megatron's wrath over his part in the affair. {{storylink|Thirst}}<br /> <br /> When Megatron took him to another abandoned mine, Starscream assumed his demise was near, but they were merely visiting Shockwave's off-site laboratory. The Predacon unexpectedly arrived and Starscream hit it with a metal bar, only for it to transform and speak. The Decepticons quickly realized that despite Predaking's loyalty, it would not take him and his fellow Predacons long to realize their superiority to the Decepticons, so Starscream hatched a plan to kill two birds with one stone, luring the Autobots to the laboratory so its destruction could be blamed on them. The plan succeeded, and in the aftermath, the Decepticons discovered that the synthetic energon stored at the base had created cybermatter. {{storylink|Evolution}} Starscream managed to talk his way out of being disfigured by Shockwave over not warning the latter that the Autobots were attacking the lab. As Shockwave was put in charge of perfecting the Synthetic Energon formula, Megatron assigned Starscream to gather technology to repair the Omega Lock, which they would need for a delivery mechanism. {{storylink|Minus One}}<br /> <br /> After establishing the location of the Autobot base when they kidnapped Ratchet, Starscream was sent with his armada to destroy the hanger. He did so with aplomb, unaware that the Autobots had swapped the letters on the hangers and he'd destroyed the wrong one. {{storylink|Persuasion}} The error came back to bite him when the Decepticons detected an [[Chip|Autobot probe]] carrying Laserbeak's transponder. Starscream went out and personally destroyed the probe before fleeing through a GroundBridge to escape Optimus. Back on the ''Nemesis'', when Predaking found out about the Decepticons' earlier treachery and went on a rampage, Starscream aided Megatron by blasting Predaking in the back. Though the Predacon was defeated, the ship next came under attack by Autobots. {{storylink|Synthesis}}<br /> <br /> Starscream took his squad of Vehicons and encountered Arcee and Bumblebee. They battled the two Autobots, but were driven back to the Omega Lock room where Starscream tried unsuccessfully to get his hands on the Star Saber which Smokescreen had brought along. Starscream watched in horror as Megatron was killed by Bumblebee, but his desire to avenge his leader was unable to be fulfilled, as Shockwave dragged him away. The pair escaped the ship in a lifepod, somewhere over Cybertron. {{storylink|Deadlock}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Predaconsrising-Starscreamupthecreek.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|No! Bad pets! Bad! Don't you want to know what the fox says?!?]]<br /> As Shockwave continued to try to clone Predacons, Starscream searched for more bones, and was soon assisted by [[Darksteel (Prime)|Darksteel]] and [[Skylynx (Prime)|Skylynx]]. The two Predacons eventually led him to a whole burial ground of Predacon remains, but as they were gathering their find up, they were witness to the apparent return of Megatron. Unfortunately it instead turned out to be Unicron using Megatron's body, and as the dark god created an army of undead Predacons, Starscream fled. <br /> <br /> Finding the warship, he freed Knock Out and some Vehicons and attempted to retake the ship, only for Knock Out to betray him. He was locked in a cell, however when the warship crashed during the battle against Unicron, he was freed. Once Megatron was free of Unicron's will, Starscream approached him, believing he would resume leadership of the Decepticons, but Megatron was no longer interested in the Decepticon cause. Starscream therefore went to [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]] to take his own rightful place as Decepticon ruler, only for Predaking, Darksteel and Skylynx to arrive looking to settle scores with him. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}<br /> <br /> ===Toy bios===<br /> Once upon a time, Starscream was an honorable soldier who fought to defend Cybertron. His long isloation aboard an orbital platform changed all that, making him greedy and ambitious, and he jumped at the chance to join Decepticons and get to lead troops again. {{storylink|Starscream (WFC)#Generations|Generations Starscream}} This path would lead to him binging on Dark Energon, revelling in the power it gave him! {{storylink|Starscream (WFC)#Prime|Dark Energon Starscream}} <br /> <br /> Starscream, whatever you might think, ''isn't'' running away all the time: he's actually making calculated retreats and when the enemy is going &quot;ha ha Starscream's run away&quot;, he comes back without warning and wipes them out. {{storylink|Starscream (WFC)#Prime|Voyager Starscream}} <br /> <br /> ===Titan ''Prime'' comic===<br /> [[File:Titan4.6 Starscream holding president.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|The president's been kidnapped by Decepticons! Are you a bad enough dude to save the president?]]<br /> Starscream accompanied [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] on a trip to [[Antarctica]] to attack the [[Yamal|NS ''Yamal'']]. He carried the [[static lance]] that Megatron intended to use to detonate the ship's nuclear reactors, and when the Autobots arrived to intercede, Starscream used the weapon to knock [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] out. He tried to do the same to [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], but the Autobot dodged the blow and kicked him in the head, taking the lance himself and ruining the Decepticons' plan. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.3|Ice Breaker}}<br /> <br /> Tasked by Megatron with trying to draw the Autobots out, Starscream attacked and captured [[Air Force One]], taking it to the [[Grand Canyon]]. He sent a message demanding Optimus Prime's surrender in exchange for the safe return of the [[President of the United States|President]], but the Autobots turned up in force. Starscream's accompaniment of Vehicons was soon quashed, and Optimus rescued the President, whom Starscream was using as a human shield, by chopping the Decepticon's left arm off. Defeated, Starscream fled. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.6|All the President's 'Bots!}}<br /> <br /> Starscream was appalled when Megatron revealed the latest plan—pitting the Vehicons against each other in a series of deathmatches to ensure their army contained only the toughest. He was even more shocked when Megatron expected ''him'' to fight against [[Fearstorm]]. Starscream was able to defeat the much-larger Decepticon through application of his wits; he first managed to snap off the pointed end of on the bars enclosing their match, then used it to pin Fearstorm's arms to the ground. Fearstorm was thus incapacitated, leaving Starscream easy access to the key that granted him victory; his opponent's spark. Afterwards, Megatron was content to let Starscream return to the ship. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.7|Megatron's Law}}<br /> <br /> On Soundwave's prompting, Starscream set up an ambush for the Autobots in [[The Wave]]. When it predictably went badly for the Decepticons, Starscream demanded his companion take matters into his own hands. Soundwave did, and as a result Starscream had to later help Soundwave look for his missing hand. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.12|The Evil Shred}}<br /> {{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.17|Collider Scope}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.18|Power Outage}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.20|Starscream's Beast}}}}<br /> <br /> ===Eaglemoss ''Prime'' comic===<br /> {{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Horrible TV}}}}<br /> <br /> ===''Tales of the Beast Hunters''===<br /> When [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]] returned from a battle with the news that [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] had apparently perished in a mysterious explosion, everyone on the ''Nemesis'' assumed Starscream was to blame, simply because he had repeatedly expressed an interest in becoming Decepticon leader. He had to go on the run, all the while Megatron would turn up alive so his name would be cleared. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 7}} Dreadwing managed to track him down, but he convinced Dreadwing that he was not the one who eliminated Megatron, on the grounds that he would immediately take [[Decepticon leader]]ship, rather than flee, should Megatron die by his hands. Dreadwing believed him, and ordered his assistance in finding Megatron. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 14}}<br /> <br /> ===''Regeneration One''===<br /> [[File:Gas skunk blackarachnia jetstorm leobreaker starscream war to end all wars.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67]]<br /> As the [[Dark Matrix (G1)|Dark Matrix creature]] tortured [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Circuit Smasher]] with visions of his [[Sparkplug Witwicky|dead father]] in [[Zero Space]], cracks began to appear in the membrane of infinite worlds.

He then explored the fortress and found the laboratory where the Decepticons had bred the Weaponizer Mini-Cons and sought to use them to take revenge on Megatron for his cruel acts towards him. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}} Starscream then reformatted himself {{storylink|Mighty Big Trouble}} to his old body type, before he freed the Mini-Cons but they managed to escape him. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}} The Autobots believed him to be dead following his encounter with the Predacons, but he was remembered as a dangerous Decepticon in the records of the War. {{storylink|Mighty Big Trouble}}<br /> <br /> After he had &quot;helped save the universe, from Starscream, Megatron, and Dark Energon&quot;, [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] refused to be defeated by [[Bisk (RID)|Bisk]]. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RID)|More than Meets the Eye}} When Bumblebee attempted to inspire his team with an [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] impression, [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] instead believed Bumblebee to be going for a bad Starscream. {{storylink|W.W.O.D.?}}<br /> <br /> In his hunt for the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, Starscream hired [[Shadelock]], [[RoughEdge]], and [[Razorhorn]] to procure them. {{storylink|Mighty Big Trouble}} His hunt forced the Mini-Cons off [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and led them to joining a group of [[Scavenger (RID 2015)|scavengers]]. {{storylink|History Lessons}} He tracked them down to the planet Earth, where Shadelock found [[Tricerashot]]. Starscream ordered him to follow the Mini-Con to lead them to the remainder of them. {{storylink|Pretzel Logic}} He tracked the Mini-Cons to a human ship, missing them by seconds. There he found the scavengers and the [[Dark Star Saber]]. He immediately claimed the weapon as his own intending to use it for conquest before he noted that it seemed to be operating at less than full power. Nonetheless he still desired the Mini-Cons and ordered his minions to track them and bring them to him. His minions brought him the wrong Mini-Cons. [[Fixit (RID)|One of them]] accidentally revealed [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] was back on Earth and Starscream was able to take the yellow Autobot prisoner by threatening the Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Mighty Big Trouble}}<br /> <br /> [[File:RiD 2015 Worthy One-Winged Seeker.jpg|thumb|left|280px|At least he's not a giant screaming head this time.]]<br /> When Bumblebee was aboard, Starscream gloated about his good fortune before the Autobot escaped only to be quickly recaptured. With his captive now in [[Stasis cuffs|stasis cuffs]], Starscream monologued about his cunning escape from the Predacons and his plan to use the Weaponizer Mini-Cons and the Dark Star Saber to not only kill Megatron but conquer the galaxy. He then resumed scanning for his &quot;little doomsday devices&quot; before Bumblebee began taunting him that no one, not even the Dark Star Saber, took him seriously. Starscream swore that everyone would take him seriously, aiming the cursed blade at Bumblebee's throat. A nearby battle between Autobots and scavengers caught his attention where he used his ship's tractor beam to abduct the Weaponizer Mini-Cons before flying off and gloating to Bumblebee of his imminent victory. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}} Unfortunately it turned out he only had six of the seven Mini-Cons needed, with an attempt at merging resulting in failure. Luckily the last Mini-Con needed turned up at his ship with the Autobots, and he was able to obtain it by knocking everyone out with the Dark Star Saber. He successfully merged with the Mini-Cons, only to lose [[Aerobolt]] thanks to a signal initiated from the ship by Fixit. Starscream managed to fly clear of the ship and engage Optimus and Aerobolt, now merged, in combat until the Autobots succeeded in dragging him back into range of the signal. Separated from the Mini-Cons, Starscream fell comatose and was loaded onto [[Prime Force One|Optimus's ship]] for transport back to Cybertron and justice. {{storylink|Worthy}}<br /> {{--}}<br /> <br /> ===IDW ''Robots in Disguise'' comic===<br /> Years ago, Starscream assigned three Vehicons to construct an [[energon]] mine near the [[Sierra Ridge]] mountains, {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 5|Robots in Disguise #5}} and left them with a bomb triggered by a dead man's switch as an &quot;explosive insurance policy&quot;.<br /> <br /> At some point after [[Predacons Rising (Prime)|Cybertron's restoration]], Starscream's severed arm was brought to Earth with [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]].

Under my leadership, Decepticon victory is assured!|Starscream being all modest|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]]''}}<br /> <br /> For the last thousand years of the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Starscream was in charge of an orbital facility that had the capability of producing [[Dark Energon]], though they maintained only a small stockpile because of its unpredictable and uncontrollable nature. The station's force of neutral soldiers were no match for Megatron's invading forces, while Starscream and [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]]'s repeated warnings that no one could control Dark Energon had no effect on Megatron's determination. Instead, Megatron tempted Starscream with knowledge of his past, reminding him of his demotion from Sky Commander to a mere guard over an all-but-derelict station, and offered to let him join the Decepticons, something Starscream scoffed at — at least, at first. Starscream attempted to destroy the station's stock of Dark Energon before the Decepticon leader could reach it, but failed, and watched, first with amusement as Megatron entered the storage chamber...and then with shock as Megatron infused himself with the substance and bent it to his will within moments. Starscream quickly volunteered his services for the Decepticon cause, causing Jetfire to label him a traitor and leave to warn [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]]. Megatron sent him with [[Thundercracker (WFC)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (WFC)|Skywarp]] to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to reactivate the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge|Energon Bridge]]. Starscream performed the mission successfully using his trademark style, flair, and modesty, never mind Megatron's taunting and unreasonable impatience, or Thundercracker's warning him of the danger of certain courses of action, or even Skywarp's cluing in to his constant insults. <br /> <br /> During the Battle of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], Starscream led the Decepticons aerial squadrons and [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]] led the Decepticons' ground assault, while Megatron, [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]], and [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] went behind enemy lines and tried to secure the [[Omega Key]]. When Megatron's group met up with Brawl, Starscream refused to send Dark Energon bombers, saying that he wouldn't let Brawl waste anymore of &quot;his ships&quot;. Megatron took issue with Starscream dubbing the bombers his, and overrode Starscream's refusal. Later that evening, while looking for the &quot;real&quot; Omega Key, they ran into it: [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]]. Starscream assumed Megatron was killed when Omega attacked a [[dropship (WFC)|dropship]] Megatron was heading for and declared himself Decepticon commander. Shortly afterward, Megatron managed to communicate with Starscream and ordered him to attack Omega Supreme, getting the massive Autobot off Megatron's back. By the time Megatron's group were heading for the Autobot turrets, Starscream was ready to sound a retreat, which Megatron overrode with the threat of marking any retreating Decepticon as &quot;kill on sight&quot;. Fortunately, Megatron arrived moments later and managed to defeat Omega Supreme, making the retreat unnecessary. Later on, he was present at the [[Core]] of Cybertron as Megatron corrupted it with Dark Energon.<br /> <br /> As the Battle of Iacon continued, Starscream fought through Jetfire and [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]], and attacked [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]]'s group in the [[Decagon]]. However, the Air Commander was injured by Optimus's [[Energon-axe]] and forced to retreat. The wound was apparently bad enough to cause him to sit out the remainder of the conflict. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===<br /> {{voiceactor|Sam Riegel (English)|Gianluca Iacono (Italian)}}<br /> Starscream had been in control of Trypticon Space Station for years, until Megatron and his forces invaded. Megatron wished to revive the Dark Energon project to aid him in his conquest of Cybertron, but Starscream would have none of it. Megatron was able to fight his way to Starscream himself, and after a brief battle, Starscream had lost. He begged for mercy, and Megatrons spared Starscream in exchange for loyalty to the Decepticons. Starscream obliged and Megatron was taken to the core of the station.<br /> <br /> After a test run of the Dark Energon's effects on Decepticons in Kaon Prison, Soundwave deduced the element would only destroy the host. A furious Megatron set Starscream to work on fixing the problem, with Starscream continuously bickering with Barricade over his usefulness. The problem was eventually solved in time for an attack on Iacon City. When Megatron felled Zeta Prime and found the Omega Key, the titanic Autobot Omega Supreme was unleashed upon the Decepticons, quickly crushing them with ease.<br /> <br /> Megatron was downright furious with Starscream, declaring he had brought Omega Supreme's rampage upon them all. Starscream retorted that if it wasn't for Megatron and his blind troops, none of this would've happened. Starscream invited Megatron to kill him, but warned him it wouldn't do a thing about Omega Supreme out for their blood. Megatron for the moment let it go, and finally felled Omega Supreme, gaining total dominance over Cybertron.<br /> <br /> Sometime later, Starscream ambushed an [[Autobot rookie|Autobot recruit-in-training]], and would've killed him if it wasn't for Optimus charging to the rescue. He wasn't seen again after that. <br /> {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|War for Cybertron - Autobots/Decepticons}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Cybertron Adventures''===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Sam Riegel]] (English)|[[Gianluca Iacono]] (Italian)}}<br /> <br /> Being Megatron's &quot;right-hand man,&quot; he wonders how the war could have changed if HE were to be the leader, not Megatron. Still he was ordered by Megatron to do his dirty work, and growing jealous, he waits for the right time, to take his place, as leader of the Decepticons.<br /> {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron''===<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Sam Riegel]] (English)}}<br /> Under Megatron's orders, Starscream and the [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticons]] ambushed and captured Optimus Prime under the ruins of Iacon during the assault on the Ark. Starscream's gloating on how he defeated Megatron's nemesis would earn him a blast from the Decepticon's leader's fusion cannon. Starscream's luck would take an uphill turn, however, for Megatron was soon crushed by Metroplex, leaving him the new leader of the Decepticons. At the urging of both Prime and Metroplex, Starscream ordered the Decepticons to retreat.<br /> <br /> Starscream's reign as a leader was lackluster at best. He used most of the Decepticon energon and supplies to further his own ego and cover the Decepticon bases with portraits and effigies of himself and constantly broadcasting self glorifying speeches to his troops. Anyone who wasn't on board with Starscream's reign was thrown into the prisons of Kaon. Needless to say, the prisons were full to bursting as barely a handful of Decepticons had any faith in their new leader. When the Autobots acquired the entire energon supply the Decepticons kept in the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]]. Starscream sent the Combaticons to stop the transport. When the transport was out in the open, Starscream ordered an assault on it, despite the fact the anti-aircraft guns were still functional. As the Decepticons suffered heavy losses, Starscream aborted the mission and ordered a full retreat. The Combaticons ignored the order and brought the transport down, at the cost of half the energon on board. Despite the fact that the Combaticons had saved the mission he had abandoned, Starscream accused them of failing and had them arrested.<br /> <br /> Later, Starscream decided to have a coronation for himself (despite the fact he had been in charge for some time now). Though sadly it was not to be, as [[The Transformers: The Movie|a newly rebuilt Megatron crashed the event]] and took his crown back from the would-be king, much to everyone else's elation. Luckily, the Air Commander escaped Megatron's wrath, swearing revenge.<br /> <br /> Seeking the means to get back at Megatron, Starscream made his way to Shockwave's lab. He came across [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and promised to free him and his team if they would serve him. The Dinobot kindly refused the offer by throwing him into the control panel, freeing himself. This apparently knocked Starscream out as he didn't get back up. What happened to him afterwords is unknown, since most of Decepticons that might have arrested him were cut to pieces by Grimlock. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}<br /> <br /> ===''Transformers: Prime - The Game''===<br /> [[File:TransformersPrimeTheGame Starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]<br /> {{voiceactor|[[Steve Blum]] (English)}}<br /> Starscream was present when the Decepticons were hauling in an asteroid rich with Dark Energon heading toward Earth. When the Autobots came to stop them, he witnessed the asteroid explode and the Autobots fall out of orbit. He then mocked their inability to fly, which annoyed Megatron. He commissioned Knock Out and Airachnid to seek and retrieve the Autobots, joining in the hunt himself. <br /> <br /> Starscream found Bulkhead and Miko in some sort of tomb, and played on his life by nearly collapsing the whole cave on him. Bulkhead escaped the falling cave, and the big guy unleashed tenfold on him. However, one of the Vehicons managed to swipe Miko and take her captive, and Starscream retreated with them. <br /> <br /> Starscream later assisted Megatron in finding a missing component of Thunderwing's, and managed to run into his old pal Bulkhead again. Unfortunately, Bulkhead bested him again, this time taking him captive in his own ship! The treacherous Decepticon tricked Bulkhead, however, into bringing him into a room where he was ambushed by Vehicon troopers. Yet again, Bulkhead came out on top of the pile with Starscream retreating in defeat. <br /> <br /> Starscream quickly installed the biggest component in Thunderwing, which resulted in him attacking Megatron...

On some occasions, they are solid red with lighter red dots for his pupils.<br /> *Starscream's body parts are available to use in the Hub website's [[Vector Sigma Bot Builder]] online game. Normally, you cannot configure a generic 'bot using all Starscream parts, but you can see what one would look like at right through the magic of Photoshop.<br /> *In Starscream's dedicated level in ''Fall Of Cybertron'', a secret room on the exterior of Shockwave's tower complex contains a very G1-esque gold crown that can be picked up by the player and worn for the remainder of the level.

It seems to be quite a bit large for a subsection of this one, and could reasonably be expanded upon. Some material from [[Reproduction]] might be relevant to such a new article as well. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 13:03, 26 December 2009 (EST)<br /> :That might not be a bad idea... considering we have articles for stuff like relatives, reproduction, &quot;sexuality&quot; in the Humanization article, and robot/squishie romances, it seems like an odd omission to not really have a dedicated robot/robot romance article. Or rather, currently all of our robot/robot romance stuff is kind of scattered around in various places of said other articles. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 14:47, 26 December 2009 (EST)<br /> <br /> :Actually, I have been wanting to write a &quot;Romance&quot; (because &quot;Sexuality&quot; is only a bit less correct term) article for quite some time, merging this article's Romance section, Robot-Fleshling romance and a bit from the Humanization article's Sexuality section into one (and adding a much-needed list of those cases in which a Transformer's interest didn't go to something alive). However, thus far I have not found the time to get to it. Would greatly appreciate to see someone else make a start. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 14:48, 26 December 2009 (EST)<br /> :P.S., you know, if no one else does it within twelve hours, I will kick myself to finally do it.

The usage of storylinks seems kind of random too, in terms of whether they're used or not. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 17:35, 27 December 2009 (EST)<br /> <br /> :I agree the lists ain't pretty looking as is. Sorting them by continuity is a good idea, as is alphabetically. However, the Transformer/Transformer list can't be done alphabetically because of the involvement of two Transformers who both can influence the placement. I could arrange it real-life chronically, but that puts forth the question if for consistency I shouldn't all arrange them like that.<br /> <br /> :The storylinks had me in doubt too. On one hand, they might be redundant because the information should be on the character pages linked to anyway. On the other, they are useful in that they help anyone searching for the source finding it. My policy to adding storylinks was if there were one or more continuitioes/continuity parts in which a specific relation happened, and if (arguably) more than one, not to add a storylink. I.E., Arcee's been involved with Hot Rod in about three continuities - no need to source that. On the other hand, Clipper was with Holi only in the Victory cartoon, so she gets a link (even despite her page showing she, in fact, only appeared in the Victory cartoon continuity). However, I am no expert on all parts of Transformers, and some therefore miss a link simply because I don't know what to source it with.<br /> <br /> :Which also brings me to the point I wish to take a few relations off the list. I remember TFA OP/Ba was at first not on the list because their relation was not necessarily of romantic nature. I am not familiar with the Animated universe enough to judge, so I'd appreciate someone who is giving their opinion. Two other uncertain cases are Armada Starscream/Alexis and BW Tigatron/Snowstalker. Plus, I already removed First One/Cloudburst because the Transformer in there never felt anything for the organic, and I think the perspective of this article should be Transformer attitude towards relations. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 02:46, 28 December 2009 (EST)<br /> ::I'd say just pick the TF in each pairing whose name comes first alphabetically and go by that, except in cases like Arcee where the character has more than one significant other. I agree that continuity is likely the main useful sorting criterion, though.<br /> ::I'd agree on removing TFA OP/BA... they never seemed to have much of a relationship outside of BA kind of flirting with ''every'' mech who seemed the least bit interested. Or it could go under a heading of &quot;One-sided attractions&quot;, which is where things like Cloudburst and the First One could go. (I'm not sure discounting the squishies entirely makes sense... the one-sided infatuations like Alexis and the First One ''are'' sometimes plot points, after all...) --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 03:03, 28 December 2009 (EST)<br /> <br /> :::Not only cases like Arcee, but also one-sided cases can't always be done to alphabetical standards. Jackpot is the only counting component in his attempts to relations, so Airazor can't logically be made the first name.<br /> :::Heh, I'm not overly sure about adding that kind of heading as well. Things are already looking pretty busy from my current (not yet saved) continutiy header additions. I'm not sure if it will be for the better to give specific attention to one-sided interest. But upon reevaluation, I think Cloudburst/First One should and can be mentioned in the yet-to-be-written Transformer/organic text. <br /> :::So to be certain this is correct: There is no romantical note between TFA OP and Ba and Alexis had clear romantic feelings for Starscream rather than friendship?<br /> :::And then I have two questions I need help/advice on. Firstly, from what I understand from SG Elita-One's page, she snuggles up to anyone with power. While I assume she and Rodimus go specific in Blitzwing Bop, c/should there be added a Thunderblast-ish note about power (perhaps linking to Optimus)? And secondly, I do feel there ought to be some mention about the straight-gay balance in TF, but I don't want it as aggressive as the Robot-Fleshling romance page currently has, yet more explained/prominent than the current Female Transformer page has. I don't know how to incorporate it. Thoughts? [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 03:42, 28 December 2009 (EST)<br /> ::::You know, I honestly have no clue on Elita.

To dismiss the (in my view) quite reasonable assumption that Strika is female as 'fan-conjecture' ignores a number of common-sense factors:<br /> <br /> *The fact that in the cartoon she was voiced by female voice actor - there is no instance I can recall of a female TF character being voiced by a male actor or vice versa.<br /> <br /> *That she is referred to as Obsidian's consort (rather than associate) is not insignificant. There is a nuance of meaning in the term that implies that they are not merely associates, but their relationship would be more similar to that of husband and wife, or domestic companions. The primary meaning of consort is the spouse of a monarch, which would sit well with Obsidian's perceived status.<br /> <br /> On this basis, I think that it is reasonable to assert that Strika is intended to be a female character until there is conclusive evidence to the contrary. Perhaps she should be included in this listing, with a disclaimer about lack of formal evidence. To do otherwise would smack of legalistic hair-splitting.<br /> <br /> :...I wasn't aware this was even in doubt. It'd require a fairly baroque misreading of Beast Machines to make Strika a dude.

Apologies for this misreading. <br /> <br /> ::::::Having said this, some fundamental points remain - yes, there are 6 definitions of consort, but these are not equal or interchangeable - the most common or accepted usage of the term is almost always the one defined first. <br /> <br /> ::::::If the creators of Beast Machines had intended a more neutral relationship like associate, partner or companion, they could easily have used those words, and thus have prevented this current debate. However, the fact that they chose to use the word consort does make certain implications far more reasonable. There have been few (if any) female TFs introduced who did not have some manner of romantic or intimate entanglement. Since there is little doubt of Strika's gender, it is reasonable on this basis to assert that Obsidian and Strika were in an interdependent relationship similar to a marriage. Whether this included physical intimacy is neither here nor there, since many marriages can be founded on mutual attachment without intimacy. We can debate the nature of romance until the cows come home, though this wiki is probably not the best forum for this. <br /> <br /> ::::::So, relationship or not? --[[User:Sofaman|Sofaman]] 12:20, 26 November 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::::::It's been awhile since I watched BM...

[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 13:03, 26 December 2009 (EST)<br /> :That might not be a bad idea... considering we have articles for stuff like relatives, reproduction, &quot;sexuality&quot; in the Humanization article, and robot/squishie romances, it seems like an odd omission to not really have a dedicated robot/robot romance article.

The usage of storylinks seems kind of random too, in terms of whether they're used or not. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 17:35, 27 December 2009 (EST)<br /> <br /> :I agree the lists ain't pretty looking as is. Sorting them by continuity is a good idea, as is alphabetically. However, the Transformer/Transformer list can't be done alphabetically because of the involvement of two Transformers who both can influence the placement. I could arrange it real-life chronically, but that puts forth the question if for consistency I shouldn't all arrange them like that.<br /> <br /> :The storylinks had me in doubt too. On one hand, they might be redundant because the information should be on the character pages linked to anyway. On the other, they are useful in that they help anyone searching for the source finding it. My policy to adding storylinks was if there were one or more continuitioes/continuity parts in which a specific relation happened, and if (arguably) more than one, not to add a storylink. I.E., Arcee's been involved with Hot Rod in about three continuities - no need to source that. On the other hand, Clipper was with Holi only in the Victory cartoon, so she gets a link (even despite her page showing she, in fact, only appeared in the Victory cartoon continuity). However, I am no expert on all parts of Transformers, and some therefore miss a link simply because I don't know what to source it with.<br /> <br /> :Which also brings me to the point I wish to take a few relations off the list. I remember TFA OP/Ba was at first not on the list because their relation was not necessarily of romantic nature. I am not familiar with the Animated universe enough to judge, so I'd appreciate someone who is giving their opinion. Two other uncertain cases are Armada Starscream/Alexis and BW Tigatron/Snowstalker. Plus, I already removed First One/Cloudburst because the Transformer in there never felt anything for the organic, and I think the perspective of this article should be Transformer attitude towards relations. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 02:46, 28 December 2009 (EST)<br /> ::I'd say just pick the TF in each pairing whose name comes first alphabetically and go by that, except in cases like Arcee where the character has more than one significant other. I agree that continuity is likely the main useful sorting criterion, though.<br /> ::I'd agree on removing TFA OP/BA... they never seemed to have much of a relationship outside of BA kind of flirting with ''every'' mech who seemed the least bit interested. Or it could go under a heading of &quot;One-sided attractions&quot;, which is where things like Cloudburst and the First One could go. (I'm not sure discounting the squishies entirely makes sense... the one-sided infatuations like Alexis and the First One ''are'' sometimes plot points, after all...) --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 03:03, 28 December 2009 (EST)<br /> <br /> :::Not only cases like Arcee, but also one-sided cases can't always be done to alphabetical standards. Jackpot is the only counting component in his attempts to relations, so Airazor can't logically be made the first name.<br /> :::Heh, I'm not overly sure about adding that kind of heading as well. Things are already looking pretty busy from my current (not yet saved) continutiy header additions. I'm not sure if it will be for the better to give specific attention to one-sided interest. But upon reevaluation, I think Cloudburst/First One should and can be mentioned in the yet-to-be-written Transformer/organic text. <br /> :::So to be certain this is correct: There is no romantical note between TFA OP and Ba and Alexis had clear romantic feelings for Starscream rather than friendship?<br /> :::And then I have two questions I need help/advice on. Firstly, from what I understand from SG Elita-One's page, she snuggles up to anyone with power. While I assume she and Rodimus go specific in Blitzwing Bop, c/should there be added a Thunderblast-ish note about power (perhaps linking to Optimus)? And secondly, I do feel there ought to be some mention about the straight-gay balance in TF, but I don't want it as aggressive as the Robot-Fleshling romance page currently has, yet more explained/prominent than the current Female Transformer page has. I don't know how to incorporate it. Thoughts? [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 03:42, 28 December 2009 (EST)<br /> ::::You know, I honestly have no clue on Elita. On the one hand, her being a Thunderblast type certainly is a valid interpretation that would fit in with her personality and the Autobot culture.<br /> ::::On the other hand, there's really nothing to indicate that she ever liked Optimus, and if she's infatuated with Rodimus then of course she'd fawn over his leadership abilities. (Plus there's something appropriately lateral about Elita having been Roddy's girl instead of Optimus's.)<br /> ::::So... yeah. Dunno on that one. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 16:27, 31 January 2010 (EST)<br /> <br /> I think they can reproduce, that its not just Primus or the Allspark making all the Transformers.

To dismiss the (in my view) quite reasonable assumption that Strika is female as 'fan-conjecture' ignores a number of common-sense factors:<br /> <br /> *The fact that in the cartoon she was voiced by female voice actor - there is no instance I can recall of a female TF character being voiced by a male actor or vice versa.<br /> <br /> *That she is referred to as Obsidian's consort (rather than associate) is not insignificant. There is a nuance of meaning in the term that implies that they are not merely associates, but their relationship would be more similar to that of husband and wife, or domestic companions. The primary meaning of consort is the spouse of a monarch, which would sit well with Obsidian's perceived status.<br /> <br /> On this basis, I think that it is reasonable to assert that Strika is intended to be a female character until there is conclusive evidence to the contrary. Perhaps she should be included in this listing, with a disclaimer about lack of formal evidence. To do otherwise would smack of legalistic hair-splitting.<br /> <br /> :...I wasn't aware this was even in doubt. It'd require a fairly baroque misreading of Beast Machines to make Strika a dude.

Apologies for this misreading. <br /> <br /> ::::::Having said this, some fundamental points remain - yes, there are 6 definitions of consort, but these are not equal or interchangeable - the most common or accepted usage of the term is almost always the one defined first. <br /> <br /> ::::::If the creators of Beast Machines had intended a more neutral relationship like associate, partner or companion, they could easily have used those words, and thus have prevented this current debate. However, the fact that they chose to use the word consort does make certain implications far more reasonable. There have been few (if any) female TFs introduced who did not have some manner of romantic or intimate entanglement. Since there is little doubt of Strika's gender, it is reasonable on this basis to assert that Obsidian and Strika were in an interdependent relationship similar to a marriage. Whether this included physical intimacy is neither here nor there, since many marriages can be founded on mutual attachment without intimacy. We can debate the nature of romance until the cows come home, though this wiki is probably not the best forum for this. <br /> <br /> ::::::So, relationship or not? --[[User:Sofaman|Sofaman]] 12:20, 26 November 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::::::It's been awhile since I watched BM...

[[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 12:58, 2 February 2010 (EST)<br /> <br /> Heh, the note about Saber and Clipper made me wonder... while not strictly romantic, is it worth noting that Cliffjumper seemed rather flustered talking about fembot curviness in &quot;Eye in the Sky&quot;? --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 12:52, 2 February 2010 (EST)<br /> :I am not sure on that one. I wish to do an update on the Female Transformer page soon now that this is out of the way, and I'd guess that sort of information is slightly more suited for an appearance/definition/intro section of that article. Not that this information can't be on both, but I wouldn't know where to place it in this article. Or do you have a suggestion? [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 12:58, 2 February 2010 (EST)<br /> ::Actually, now that you make me think of it, perhaps Female Transformer would be a better spot (as CJ perhaps seems more flustered by Crasher's shape than by Crasher herself). --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 13:42, 2 February 2010 (EST)<br /> :::Yeah, in that case, making a connection to get it suitable for inclusion here is going to be tough. I definitely see value for it in the aforementioned article (section). I kinda like the idea of morphing the &quot;Appearance&quot; section into a &quot;Definition&quot; section to include male vs. female attitude. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 13:58, 2 February 2010 (EST)<br /> <br /> May I ask where a [[Sari Sumdac]] - [[Afterburn]] would go (specified of course) since Sari is part robot and part human but also because Afterburn wasn't really y'know alive. --[[User:Ninjabot33|Ninjabot33]] 13:48, 28 February 2010 (EST)<br /> <br /> :My suggestion is TF - TF with a footnote we don't know whether her crush comes from her Cybertronian half or is unrelated to it. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 17:00, 28 February 2010 (EST)<br /> <br /> Is the lack of a [[Ratchet (Animated)]] - [[Arcee (Animated)]] an oversight or am I the only one who sees a relationship here? [[User:Gearbox|Gearbox]]<br /> :I think the problem is that they only knew each other for a little while before she went into a coma for a few million years. They didn't really know each other long enough to have a romance, per se. Mutual attraction, certainly, but not romance. -- [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 18:37, 6 June 2010 (EDT)<br /> <br /> Should someone mention [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]]'s creepy obsession with [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] being &quot;pleased&quot; with him? Like in [[:Image:Forced Fusion Skybytedelusion.jpg|this image]]. Or isn't that romantic looking enough? --[[User:Ninjabot33|Ninjabot33]] 13:52, 28 June 2010 (EDT)<br /> <br /> [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] - [[Kita (G1)|Kita]] {{storylink|Spotlight: Cliffjumper}}? --[[User:Ninjabot33|Ninjabot33]] 16:41, 20 October 2010 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ...Mrs. Darby seems to have a thing for Optimus, if [[Metal Attraction]] is any indication. That title takes on a whole new meaning if she wasn't kidding. --[[Special:Contributions/72.215.154.250|72.215.154.250]] 10:27, 12 March 2012 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ==The Twins==<br /> <br /> Are you sure that their dialogue reflects some kind of sexual attraction towards their respective vehicle modes? [[User:Tom Servo the Great|Tom Servo the Great]] 10:22, 28 September 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :Frankly, I don't believe so. I hear gear heads talk about their rides like that sometimes. Besides, the Twins are jackasses. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 16:53, 16 December 2011 (EST)<br /> :: Rewatching the scene; to me, it sounds like they're going to use their vehicle modes to ''pick up'' members of the opposite sex (or whatever their equivalent.) [[User:Tom Servo the Great|Tom Servo the Great]] 17:28, 16 December 2011 (EST)<br /> <br /> ==Cliff/Arcee?==<br /> <br /> Is the potential relationship hinted at between Cliffjumper and Arcee in ''Prime'' worth noting, or too conjectural at this point? It seemed like a pretty heavy hint to me, but at the same time since there's no proof... --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 16:55, 16 December 2011 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Arcee/Optimus? ==<br /> I was wondering if maybe [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] counted for a romance because in {{storylink|Scrapheap (episode)|Scrapheap}}they hold hands when they think they are gonna die and in {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}} Arcee remarks Optimus has &quot;steady hands&quot; {{unsigned|Waitwhatareyouasking}}<br /> :The holding hands in [[Scrapheap (episode)|Scrapheap]] was a comforting gesture, since they both thought they were about to die. As for the &quot;steady hands&quot; remark, I am ''completely'' lost as to how that hints at a romance. And always remember to.....'''''sign your posts!''''' -- [[User:Spydersix|spyder]] 13:52, 13 June 2012 (EDT)<br /> :Because any sign of affection or kindness under any circumstances from a female MUST mean she's romantically attracted to you. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 16:34, 13 June 2012 (EDT)<br /> Sorry been reading to many [[fanfic]]<br /> <br /> == Addition to the list from Of Masters and Mayhem? ==<br /> <br /> [[Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim]] seems to pretty heavily pair up [[Alpha Bravo]] and [[Offroad]]. It's never explicitly stated that they're romantically involved, but it's one of those cases where it basically pushes it as hard as it can ''without'' directly stating it. The wiki's page on it states as much. Is this grounds for adding them to The List?

He is the ambassador and as well a native of [[Velocitron]]. Like the typical volocitronian, he's not only preoccupied with speed and racing, but is also fastidious about looking ''good'' while doing so. In his line of work as a weight-loss surgeon and aerodynamic specialist, he's constantly looking for physical flaws and imperfections to work his magic on... mostly on other 'bots.<br /> <br /> In other universes, he is a member of the Decepticons from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. But you can ''still'' count on him to be obsessed with racing and looking good.<br /> <br /> {{TOCclear}}<br /> <br /> ==Fiction==<br /> ===2005 IDW continuity===<br /> {{first|[[Windblade issue 4|Transformers: Windblade vol. 1 #4]]}}<br /> <br /> [[File:CombinerWars5-Velocitron.jpg|left|thumb|350px|Turn your headlights on; there's a snake in the grass!]]<br /> <br /> Knock Out was born from a [[hot spot]] inside [[Navitas]], one of the [[Titan (group)|Titans]] who had left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to colonize other worlds. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} Despite his love of speed and a high self-regard for his aerodynamic design, Knock Out would find an unlikely [[Conjunx Endura]] in [[Breakdown (IDW)|Breakdown]], an atypically slow Velocitronian. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade vol. 2 #4}}<br /> <br /> [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] caught a glimpse of him racing another 'bot while she was merged with [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s mind. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}}<br /> <br /> Knock Out and [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] were investigating the possible sources of strange seismic activity, ultimately coming across the footprints left behind from the rampaging [[combiner]]s from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|All That Remains}} The pair were sent as ambassadors to Cybertron, and met with [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] to discuss becoming a part of the [[Council of Worlds]]. Negotiations fell through, with Knock Out maintaining that Velocitron didn't need anything from neighboring planets, and the duo left the meeting chamber. Windblade tried to reason with the pair, and invited them to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]] so that they could experience both Camien and Cybertronian cultures. Knock Out totally dissed [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] before returning home through Metroplex's [[Space bridge|spacebridge]]. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade vol. 2 #4}}<br /> <br /> [[File:Windblade DS 4 Velocitronian Ambassadors.jpg|thumb|250px|Well I need to call my Girlfriend.]]<br /> <br /> During the [[Benefit 500]], Knock Out watched with Moonracer and [[Override (BW)|Override]]. He failed to recognize Blurr at first, and was shocked when Windblade's tampering with [[Navitas]]'s controls let her manipulate the racetrack to help Blurr win the race. {{storylink|Race Against the Light}} After Blurr's victory ensured Velocitron's entry into the Council of Worlds, Knock Out returned to Cybertron and signed the treaty, begrudgingly acknowledging Windblade's resourcefulness. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}}<br /> <br /> Approximately two weeks later, Knock Out was present for the ceremony inducting [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] and [[Strika (BM)|Strika]] into the Council of Worlds. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} Though he was preferential to the creature comforts of Velocitron, Knock Out chose to stay on Cybertron for the sake of Breakdown, who was overjoyed to settle down in a place where there was more to life than speed. {{storylink|The Chosen One}} When Starscream announced the creation of a [[Chosen One Day|new holiday]], Knock Out and his Conjunx decided to take a vacation in the [[Acid Wastes]]. {{storylink|Choose Me}}<br /> <br /> At some point, Windblade allowed Knock Out to examine her &quot;for science&quot;. Knock Out concluded from his investigation that Camiens had evolved lower-frequency sparks as a means of energy conservation. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}}<br /> <br /> [[File:TAAO1 KnockOutBreakdown.jpg|thumb|left|250px|As could I Lord Frieza.]]<br /> <br /> After [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] announced his intent to annex [[Earth]] into the Council of Worlds, Knock Out attended the first council meeting discussing this sudden change of events. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}} Knock Out was present for a Justice Committee meeting regarding [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgical]] attacks on several Decepticons on Cybertron and distrust of the [[Badgeless]]. The Committee moved to have [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] investigate the crime spree. {{storylink|07:00:00}} When tensions boiled over in Iacon following the death of a [[Drunkatron|Decepticon bystander]], Knock Out and Moonracer attended a second meeting discussing the future of law enforcement on Cybertron, with Ironhide offering to take over the investigation as the new head of the Badgeless. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}} The Velocitronians later attended a meeting where Ironhide reported on the progress of the new recruits. {{storylink|Things We Said We'd Never Do}} When the newly-formed [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] attacked Iacon, Knock Out and the other Council delegates were temporarily evacuated. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}<br /> <br /> The Council later met with Optimus to hear his side of the story. Although Prime insisted that his intentions were pure, its members unanimously voted against allowing Earth a seat on the council; Knock Out in particular criticizing Prime's poor judgement. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}} Starscream was initially pleased with this turn of events, but the Council's opinion began to shift after news of Optimus Prime's raising of [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]] on Earth reached Cybertron, prompting them to reconsider admitting Earth into the Council. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 6: No Fair Fights|No Fair Fights}}<br /> <br /> [[File:DesperateTimes-noonescuffsmyfinish.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Lord Frieza, Vegeta's giving us a slagging.]]<br /> <br /> When Cybertron came under threat from a fleet of [[zombie]] Titans, Knock Out was hesitant at the idea of declaring war, suggesting a full-scale evacuation. Nevertheless, Starscream decided that Cybertron would stand united against the menace, and Knock Out joined the fracas as the Titans made planetfall. {{storylink|Ping}} Though he and Blurr initially put up a good fight - blasting one Titan who had caused him to scuff his finish - the battle dragged on, and the combatants were forced back to the Council Spire. {{storylink|Desperate Times}}<br /> <br /> When the crisis had passed, the Council reconvened to meet with Optimus Prime as the Autobot leader discussed sharing Transformer technology with the [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]]s, who had recently landed on [[Earth]]. Starscream shot down the proposal; as Earth was not yet a member of the Council, any transactions between the two species would be a violation of the [[Tyrest Accord]]. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 3: Behind My Bleeding Back|Behind My Bleeding Back}}<br /> <br /> When [[human]]s attacked [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] during [[Earth]]'s induction into the [[Council of Worlds]], Knock Out supported [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]'s proposal of killing all humans convinced that [[Liege Maximo]]'s potential return and retribution was the bigger concern. {{storylink|First Strike issue 4|First Strike #4}} In the aftermath, the Council had a meeting regarding alternative energy sources after the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] had corrupted Cybertron's [[energon]] supply. {{storylink|The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)|The Dead Come Home, Part 1}}<br /> <br /> When [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] was due to return to her seat on the Council of Worlds, Starscream commemorated the occasion with a photo-op before cancelling said photo-op when the Camien nearly revealed Liege Maximo's freedom before Knock Out (''very'' briefly) explained the ancient Prime to [[Marissa Faireborn]]. After Windblade revealed the Prime's freedom and ran for office, Knock Out visited her in [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] to offer advice and words of encouragement. At the debates, he sat next to [[Breakdown (IDW)|Breakdown]] and [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] and was later present at Windblade's victory party. {{storylink|The Chosen One}} <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''Of Masters and Mayhem''===<br /> [[File:KnockOutShockwave TheToxicTransformer.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Fitting cleanly into wiki categories isn't very ''avant-garde''.]]<br /> During the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], Knock Out was a scientist associate of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. After successfully sending [[Toxitron (G1)|Toxitron]] to wipe out an [[Autobot]] unit, [[Loudpedal]] and [[Oil Slick (G1)|Oil Slick]] telecommunicated with Knock Out and Shockwave about their experiment. Knock Out thinly smiled at the news that Toxitron was a ''self-repairing'' walking toxic sludge weapon. Some time later, Knock Out and Shockwave telecommunicated again about the Toxitron experiment, but it was during this call that Knock Out realized that Toxitron was secretly plotting to break out of the laboratory he was in. Knock Out and Shockwave warned Loudpedal and Oil Slick to prepare themselves before cutting the call. {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}}<br /> <br /> ===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===<br /> The ex-Decepticon Knock-Out was a member of the corrupt [[Builder Assembly]] that ruled over stagnant post-war Cybertron. He was well known on the council for his love of racing—owning most of the racetracks on Cybertron, including the racetracks that held the prestigious [[Ibex Cup]]—and his general vanity, in spite of being immobile and confined to an [[exo-walker]]. {{storylink|Derailment}} Unsurprisingly, [[Eject (G1)|Eject]] thought unfavorably of Knock-Out and the other assembly members. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}}<br /> <br /> When [[Lio Convoy]]'s [[Resistance]] army threatened to invade [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] in the final battle of the [[Grand Uprising]], the Builder Assembly voted to rescind &quot;General Order 66&quot;, which would allow the recently invented [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] army access to Iacon. The vote came down to Knock-Out, so after some theatrics and horse-trading he voted &quot;aye&quot;, mostly out of spite for having a recent tax break bill of his fail. As the Resistance pushed closer and closer to the [[High Council Pavilions|High Pavilion]], Knock-Out grew bored with the last stands. <br /> <br /> Knock-Out's vainglorious attitude would come back to bite him in the skidplate: Vehicon general [[Galva Convoy]] duped the Council into exposing themselves and summarily betrayed them, forcibly transforming them into mindless Vehicons save [[Riker]]. {{storylink|Derailment}}<br /> <br /> ==Toys==<br /> {{main|Knock Out (Prime)#Toys}}<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> * The IDW incarnation of Knock Out is clearly based on ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]],&lt;ref&gt;[//mscottwrites.tumblr.com/post/92633901891/red-car-with-yellow-rims-could-we-maybe-get-the-word Mairghread Scott's Tumblr, 2014/07/23]&lt;/ref&gt; as the comic panels above demonstrate.<br /> * Mairghread Scott clarified that [[Breakdown (IDW)|Knock Out's conjunx]] is the IDW Generation 1 iteration of [[Breakdown (WFC)|''Prime'' Breakdown]],&lt;ref&gt;[http://mscottwrites.tumblr.com/post/122341451981/loved-the-new-windblade-issue-a-great-read-is Mairghread Scott's Tumblr, 2015/06/24]&lt;/ref&gt; likely a wink at fans who believed that ''Prime'' Knock Out's relationship with Breakdown was more than platonic. He later showed up on Velocitron in a crowd, went on a vacation with Knock Out in &quot;[[Choose Me]]&quot;, and joined Windblade's [[Vigilem|Carcer]] infiltration team in &quot;[[Desperate Times]]&quot;, but, as there was ''already'' [[Breakdown (G1)|a Breakdown running around]] in the 2005 IDW continuity, he wasn't named until the preview for ''[[Transformers vs. Visionaries]]'' [[Schismatic|#1]] was released over two years later!<br /> * The Knock Out featured in &quot;The Toxic Transformer&quot; has elements of both ''Prime'' Knock Out and the [[Knockout (G1)|Micromaster Knockout]]. His ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' counterpart, however, is lifted wholesale from the ''Prime'' and IDW incarnations of the character.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Beast Wars: Uprising Decepticons]]<br /> [[Category:Council members]]<br /> [[Category:Generation 1 Decepticons]]<br /> [[Category:IDW (2005) Transformers]]<br /> [[Category:Scientists]]<br /> [[Category:Velocitron]]</div> LittleAutobot1218 https://tfwiki.duckdns.org/index.php?title=User:LittleAutobot1218&diff=1389058 User:LittleAutobot1218 2020-02-03T07:49:31Z <p>LittleAutobot1218: /* About Me */</p> <hr /> <div>~ Welcome to my corner of this world ~<br /> <br /> Yo!
