== Sidebar ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given its imminence and &amp;quot;big deal&amp;quot; status, would it make sense to put [[Unicron: The Darkest Hour]] on the sidebar? --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 21:36, 18 March 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe - we don&#039;t usually put miniseries up, but it is likely to be pretty important for the IDW continuity. Now I think of it, we should probably have Cyberverse up there too. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 22:59, 18 March 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::How about Rescue Bots Academy? --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 11:00, 20 March 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::It&#039;s probably a bit early yet. That&#039;s not out until next year. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 15:46, 20 March 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::::Actually, it just got moved up to Fall according to [http://www.cynopsis.com/032018-discovery-family-heads-into-upfront-season-with-legacy-kids-brands-cake-boss-spinoff/ Discovery Family&#039;s 2018-2019 upfront]. If we&#039;re gonna add Cyberverse, it might be prudent to add RBA as well. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:26, 21 March 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::That&#039;s pretty fantastic news! Sounds like adding that is reasonable then. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 16:53, 21 March 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
Could we please add links to the GoBots and IDW sister wikis? [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 15:29, 7 May 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:Sure, I&#039;ve just added links for them to the main page. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 16:52, 7 May 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::I think it&#039;d be a good idea to have links to them in the sidebar too - their own subsection under the &amp;quot;current media&amp;quot; section? --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 17:28, 7 May 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Having links in the &amp;quot;Navigation&amp;quot; section that go to entire other websites would not be good, IMHO, as users are not going to expect it. Adding links to other sites in the sidebar is something that needs more of a discussion than it has been given, and also should be run by Walky. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 17:43, 7 May 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== Multiple account abuser ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A not exactly subtle case: [[Special:Contributions/Transformers1001|Transformers1001]] and [[Special:Contributions/TransformersFan1001|TransformersFan1001]]. The two accounts were created the exact same day, make very similar edits (i.e. the kind that have to keep getting reverted), and are never active at the same time. Note that when one account stops making edits, the other starts. Would you please take care of them? -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:38, 20 May 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Bumblebee (film) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would you please be so kind as to update the links from &amp;quot;Bumblebee: The Movie&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;[[Bumblebee (film)]]&amp;quot; on the main nav and the [[Live-action film series]] page? Thanks much. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 14:20, 5 June 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
: Thank you! -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:37, 5 June 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::No problem! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 16:47, 5 June 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Vandalist? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Polar Prime 12]] keeps copy and pasting a poor fiction section for [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)]] based on his bio. They have been told many times to stop, and their edits are reverted, yet they insist on having their summary on the page. Can you give them a penalty? [[User:Notirishman|notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 19:32, 13 July 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:For now, I have dropped an explanation on their talk page as it&#039;s more obvious for them to see than the page edit history. I&#039;d prefer to err on the side of being friendly and making sure they know why they&#039;re being reverted before getting out the ban stick. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 21:09, 13 July 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cyberverse ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Could you please unlock the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)|Cyberverse cartoon]] article? Locking it made sense months ago when we didn&#039;t know anything and wanted to prevent vandalism, but now that we&#039;re only a few months from launch and details are actually starting to emerge, it makes more sense to re-open it for editing so we can keep up with any new information. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 15:01, 25 July 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:Yep, I think it&#039;s OK to unlock it now. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 16:28, 25 July 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Botched move ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have the time, could you fix the &amp;quot;KSI Sentry&amp;quot;/&amp;quot;Trax (AOE)&amp;quot; histories? And move &amp;quot;Trax (G1)&amp;quot; to just &amp;quot;Trax&amp;quot;. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 08:25, 30 July 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I apologize for the inconvenience I created. I wasn&#039;t aware of the issues that would arise from it. [[User:Notirishman|notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 13:06, 30 July 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== Ruined Forever update (NOT content-related) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve been working on updating instances of inter-wiki linking to remove bare URLs and use the current preferred templates, and I realized there&#039;s a few spots on [[Ruined FOREVER]] that need to be brought up to date. I&#039;m not changing any of the content, but I have put together a new draft in my [[User:Cyberlink420/sandbox-ruin|sandbox]] that uses our &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;{{w}} and [[tvtropes]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; templates, as well as fixing one of the links to redirect properly. Unfortunately I can&#039;t implement the changes myself since the page is locked; could you please copy-paste the draft onto the article when you get the chance? Thanks much. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 12:50, 24 August 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I have updated the TVTropes link and the anchor on the Wikipedia like, but I don&#039;t see the point in changing perfectly good Wikipedia links to use a template instead. What&#039;s the advantage there? --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 18:57, 24 August 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Scroll box template ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible to integrate the coding for [https://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Scroll_box this template] to here? I want to try out a proposal. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 01:16, 4 November 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I&#039;ve added the scrollbox class styling they&#039;re using on it. Let me know if you need anything else. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 01:11, 4 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== What everybody lacks but me. ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was able to add in more information to the Transformers video games, more specifically, the NDS games for the 2007 &amp;amp; ROTF movies, the ROTF PSP game, and the Wii/PS2 version of the ROTF game. I even added in character pages for the Krome-exclusive NPCs, and the playable ROTF DS Transformers. Something that nobody, not even you, were never able to do, because I have the time &amp;amp; energy to do so, all because I did some heavy researching, and thorough analysis. [[User:StormJet|StormJet]] ([[User talk:StormJet|talk]]) 22:29, 5 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Cool, good work! --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 22:52, 5 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:You really need to tone down that passive-aggressiveness. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 23:09, 5 November 2018 (EST) &lt;br /&gt;
::You&#039;re lucky, everything I did was unfairly removed. -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 22:58, 5 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::: From what I can see, you added a toy listing for something that was leaked, and the other one was an addition to the &amp;quot;many deaths of Optimus&amp;quot; page that wasn&#039;t really a death. Hardly unfair. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 23:09, 5 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::: It wasn&#039;t fair. If the toy wasn&#039;t real, I wouldn&#039;t have posted anything about it, but it was clearly real and a planned product. It wasn&#039;t like it was secret North Korean nuke codes or something, it was a prototype on display, clearly it was being revealed and confirmed. Later on, the same user who called me out later took the credit for himself, when I deserve the credit. I do not understand how that on &amp;quot;the many deaths of Optimus Prime&amp;quot; was wrong when 1. There&#039;s a couple of near death mentions on the page 2. The film really built it up like he was going to die and 3. It was the truth. It honestly doesn&#039;t end there, but I don&#039;t feel like digging it all up, but to make it short, I&#039;ve been insulted, called a liar, etc. It really makes me think this place is highly elitist, hypocritical, and unwelcoming of newer users, which is why I&#039;m leaving, but want to put my case to rest before I do. -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 23:24, 5 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::: So you came to an entirely different conversation to bring up your, putting it kindly, imagined unfair treatment. Very mature. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 00:04, 6 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::: @MisterKenneth: I hope you&#039;ll understand that there are very good reasons why we don&#039;t list leaked toys here. It&#039;s because if we acknowledge the leaked toy, it will encourage further leaks in future, which is essentially encouraging people to break the law. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 00:12, 6 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::: @Escargon You started by saying that what people did to me was fair. I simply joined in here to tell @Stormjet that he&#039;s lucky he was able to get that cool info in without somebody going after him, which wasn&#039;t the case for me. I didn&#039;t intend on saying anything else. @Abates I don&#039;t understand. How is it a leak if its a confirmed product? I saw people confirm that MPM-7 was a real product going to hit the shelves and online stores, so I have no idea how that&#039;s a leak and illegal. It&#039;s not like I collected that information from some shady spy in a dark alleyway, the image I uploaded of MPM-7 was from I believe either Seibertron or TFW2005, and I saw sources confirming MPM-7&#039;s existence. I was telling the truth. I didn&#039;t come here to spread lies, I&#039;m not that kind of person. -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 00:54, 6 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::That particular image that was uploaded was a leak, as you can see here: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/bumblebee-the-movie-masterpiece-movie-vw-beetle-bumblebee-prototype-figure-leaked/40982/ If someone has it displayed somewhere without making it clear that it&#039;s from a leak, then that&#039;s an error on their part, but we still can&#039;t have it on the Wiki. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 01:05, 6 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::: I most likely got that image and the info from here https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-movie-masterpiece-mpm7-volkswagen-bumblebee/41919/ this article proves the toys existence by going as far as to mention pre-order and release dates. They said that it may not have anything to do with the final toy, but after looking at images of the final toy, I can safely say it had everything to do with it. Would a &amp;quot;leak&amp;quot; as you call it have the kind information seen here? -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 01:17, 6 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::: &amp;quot;It exists&amp;quot; is &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; the concern here. The issue is: has it been officially announced? If &#039;&#039;no&#039;&#039;, then it&#039;s a leak, no matter how &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; it is. - [[User:TBR|TBR]] ([[User talk:TBR|talk]]) 01:25, 6 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::: Well, I guess there&#039;s not really much else I can say. With that said, I don&#039;t want to continue this discussion, so good day, or night depending on where you&#039;re at. @StormJet I apologize if what I said got your thing here derailed. -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 01:37, 6 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Re the above conversation, if people are removing your edits repeatedly, then the proper course of action is to talk it out on the talk page in question. I didn&#039;t remove the edits in question, so I can&#039;t give any more insight into their removal than anyone other than the person who did so. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 15:09, 11 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

== Possible use of multiple accounts? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hey, would you be so kind as to run an IP check on [[User:‎Kampungpisangadrian]] and make sure they aren’t the same IP as [[User:Memeuser17]]? I know it’s a weird request and I’m probably just being paranoid, but something about the whole thing feels off. Like, Kampung doesn’t make any edits for 8 months, then Memeuser suddenly tries to start something on their talk page unprovoked, and that just HAPPENS to be when Kampung comes back? Like I said, I’m probably just being paranoid and I&#039;ll gladly admit it if I&#039;m wrong, but there’s something weird about the whole thing and I just wanna make sure. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 13:57, 29 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Those users both edited from the same IP address and with the exact same user agent, so I&#039;m going to go out on a limb here and say they are most likely one and the same person. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 16:07, 29 November 2018 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
Stop assuming they are the same person, please[[User:Puppetroblox|Puppetroblox]] ([[User talk:Puppetroblox|talk]]) 17:26, 26 January 2019 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

== Titan page move ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for moving the Titan page. Could you get the talk page as well? I moved the messages from it onto the Titan (IDW) talk page, so it should be safe to relocate. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 21:53, 7 January 2019 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

== Another possible multi-account vandal ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hey, if you get the chance, could you run an IP check on [[Special:Contributions/Tritusk]] and [[Special:Contributions/Firetrack]]? Both are relatively new, and both are attempting to erase instances of characters dying or inserting claims of &amp;quot;but they were fine&amp;quot;, not unlike the already-banned [[Special:Contributions/StarPlat]]. Would rather nip this in the bud early before they start messing up more pages. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 18:56, 15 January 2019 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Tritusk appears to be the same person as [[Special:Contributions/Hipfiree]], which is kinda bizarre because Hipfiree is not banned, (they were banned briefly when we thought they were StarPlat) and in fact edited a few days before they created the Tritusk account. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 20:32, 15 January 2019 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::Weird. So I guess Firetrack is clean then? -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:35, 15 January 2019 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Firetrack I&#039;m not sure on. It&#039;s possible that they could be Hipfiree but the evidence there isn&#039;t conclusive enough for my liking. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 20:46, 15 January 2019 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::Fair enough, then. I&#039;ll keep an eye on things just to be safe. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:48, 15 January 2019 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

== Wikia to Fandom changeover ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on my cursory research, it seems the migration from Wikia to Fandom is complete, as every Wikia link I&#039;ve tested so far has redirected to the .fandom URL. When you get the chance, could you update the interwiki linking system to point directly to the Fandom URL instead? Also, do we have a full list of wikia sites with their own domains that we support interwiki linking to? I know Memory-Alpha is one of them, but that redirects to a .fandom URL now as well instead of memory-alpha.org, so it wouldn&#039;t hurt to make sure those are up to date too. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 14:23, 24 January 2019 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:It looks like there are some which haven&#039;t yet been migrated - e.g. community.wikia.com is still non-migrated. They will probably make an announcement on the staff blog when the migration is finished so once they do that, it should be safer. Our Interwiki for Memory-Alpha points to the .org domain, so so long as that&#039;s still redirecting, we should be all right. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 14:38, 24 January 2019 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::Based on [[wikia:community:Help:Fandom domain migration#What are the next steps?|this help entry]], it sounds like the changeover to Fandom will be finished by February 4th, so we should be safe to update things after that date. (Side note, do we want to change the prefix to &amp;quot;fandom:&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;wikia:&amp;quot;? I don&#039;t mind going in and editing any articles accordingly to update them if we do.). -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 01:10, 26 January 2019 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

:::This may be a stupid question, but why do you want wikia interwiki links? Even if you want to link out to wikia/&amp;quot;fandom&amp;quot;, interwiki links aren&#039;t nofollow&#039;d (unlike standard external links), so they help wikia&#039;s SEO. (Similar but lesser point about changing existing links from wikia to fandom - or memory-alpha.org to the fandom link - since they redirect anyway) - [[User:Mammalian Verisimilitude|Mammalian Verisimilitude]] ([[User talk:Mammalian Verisimilitude|talk]]) 12:00, 26 January 2019 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
::::I don&#039;t believe the SEO impact of us linking to, say, Memory Alpha would be significant.

== A question ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How do you add image captions? {{unsigned|Gadgetprime12}}&lt;br /&gt;
:Hi! In the article where the image is being displayed, you&#039;ll see something like &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[File:image.jpg|300px|thumb]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;. That&#039;s the code that displays the image, so adding a caption is a matter of adding it to this code like &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[File:image.jpg|300px|thumb|Caption goes here]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;, though I should warn you in advance that adding captions on this wiki is regarded as a reward for making a significant contribution, so you should concentrate on editing in other areas before you start adding them. &lt;br /&gt;

Then how should we call her? Also do you know her &amp;quot;In universe real name&amp;quot; and the actress who played her in the movie?

I was originally going to call her &amp;quot;Dylan Gould&#039;s aide&amp;quot;, due to the fact that she helps him the same way [[Charlotte Mearing|Charlotte]] [[Mearing&#039;s aide]] does, but i called her maid because the word &amp;quot;aide&amp;quot; was used for the [[Trump Tower]]&#039;s female workers in his dogs&#039; article. So i&#039;ll call her Dylan Gould&#039;s assistant okay? As for how i&#039;m going to save the image i uploaded from being deleted is by creating an article about her, but first, i need to find more information about her.

::::it&#039;s much easier than you could expect Abates, recently my husband Renato and i were re-watching DOTM to have that amazing nostalgia feeling of the day when we went to the theaters and watched the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|then-apparent]] final chapter of the [[Live-action film series]] together, suddendly we both noticed that her voice in our language was the same of a character from a kid cartoon that our son Gabriel was watching at the time. We then correctly deduced that it was the same voice actor, so after watching the movie and put Gabriel to sleep, Renato then searched for who voiced her in the movie, but nothing was found, until i decided to search for the voice actor of the kid cartoon character instead, and then i found the answer, that&#039;s how we both killed the riddle of who&#039;s her Brazilian voice actor which is Marly Ribeiro. As for her actress, Fanofcoolstuff27 told me he discovered who played her in the film, so go and check his talk page to find out who is her actress and how he found out.

== Human Collaborators ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am going to create a page about all the humans who work for the Decepticons in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]. Should &amp;quot;Human Collaborators&amp;quot; be considered an organization or a group? If you know what should i consider about them, then i&#039;ll make it happen. Spoiler: all the members who were not in [[Chicago]] were killed by the Decepticons, all the members who were in Chicago, except for [[Dylan Gould|their leader]] were killed by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] when he destroyed the apartment in [[Trump Tower]], and finally, Dylan is killed by [[Sam Witwicky|Sam]]. everything i&#039;ll insert on the page is based on what i learned when i watched the film, so this claim of mine about all them being dead at the end of the film is true so don&#039;t change-it please. Hope you have a Happy New Year. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 23:46, 29 December 2020 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:I am not sure at all that that was intended as a proper noun. Megatron was just saying that they should kill the humans who collaborated with them. It&#039;s entirely possible that the collaborators were not aware of each other, and I think it would be a stretch to call it an organization or group. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 16:16, 30 December 2020 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Exactly what i&#039;m talking about, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] ordered them to kill &#039;&#039;all the humans who collaborated with them&#039;&#039; to make sure their plan wouldn&#039;t be exposed, some of them were disposed off before the party where he revealed their relationship with the Decepticons to Sam, and after the party was over, the remaining collaborators where (including his friends and his assistant) where all killed, they didn&#039;t killed Dylan because he gained permission to stay alive by selling [[Human|his race]] as slaves to them and they didn&#039;t killed his bodyguards because every rich person as Dylan for exemple must always have someone to defend them from danger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::During the onslaught in his apartment, there is one brief moment that shows Bumblebee&#039;s firing from Carly&#039;s point of view (POV) and in that moment it&#039;s possible to see that there were no bodyguards there. And if you saw the moment when an [[Orbital Assault Carrier]] ambushed Sam and Epps&#039; team, the bullets from the Carriers causes a human to be reduced to dust, which is exactly what happened to them in that scene, i know all his bodyguards did also duck and covered themselves but the fire literally obliterated his apartment completely. Also his bodyguards are so loyal to him that they follow him anywhere he goes if he is outside of any of his properties, (i know the garden where he revealed he work for the Decepticons to Sam belongs to his estate but he was outside of his mansion, so that also counts), but in the moment where he approached [[35 East Wacker]] to inform that the Autobots are still alive none of his bodyguards came with him, which proves once again that they were murdered by Bumblebee when he decided they must pay for all the evil they were causing with their lives.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
::If you don&#039;t believe me there is one piece of information that proves it other than visual facts and concrete dialogs, that being the movie&#039;s script. And no its not an earlier version of the script that was later revised, its the script in its final version (the version that is 100% accurate to how it happened in the film itself), the script in its final version is even in many script websites you can go and see. Unfortunately those websites don&#039;t have the text of what happens in the scene, only the characters&#039; dialogs, and DOTM is not the only movie in which the final version of the script includes only the characters&#039; dialogs in script websites, there&#039;re many other movies which suffers the same fate as DOTM in those websites. How do i know that you may ask, because sometime after i completed my 11th birthday, i was searching for the movie&#039;s script to learn more about the human villains from &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; on the internet since i wanted to know what happened to all of them, when suddenly i found a website which has the script on its final version, i was too young to understand English at the time, but with Renato&#039;s help i managed to translate everything, and after analyzing every single text written on it, it was left clear for us that is the script on its final version and so what happened to all the human collaborators was finally revealed to us. After discovering that, i took pictures from my computer screen using a camera that i received for my birthday, of the writings that mentioned what happened to all of them, which is about their deaths, exactly as i said above, after i took the pictures we then printed the photos and guarded them inside a box with things of my childhood, so that i could recall them once i was more older. Nine years later both Renato and i forgot that they all died and the photos we took before, but i had a dê-ja-vu feeling when i interpreted in my mind that they all died. So we searched for it on the movie&#039;s script again, only to find out it didn&#039;t had the text from the scenes and only has the dialogs. Now in [[2021]] because of every goddamn thing that happened last year, we&#039;re gonna have to move to a new home, and one day while making preparations to move out, Gabriel have found that box with things from our childhood, and after opening it we found the pictures and remembered them, it was thanks to our son that we found official evidences of their deaths to prove here and create the page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::As for the page, i want to create-it because the story of everything they did goes beyond what was showed to us in the film, one of them appeared in the [[Transformers: Rising Storm|Rising Storm]] comic miniseries &amp;amp; their origin and why [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] decided the Decepticons should have human allies is explained in the [[Transformers: Convergence|Convergence]] prose-story. But i will include only the members who were relevant to the comic, prose-story and movie&#039;s plot. Those members being [[Dylan Gould]], [[Gould|his father]], [[Dylan Gould&#039;s assistant|his assistant]], his bodyguards, [[Alexi Voskhod]], [[Voskhod|his uncle]], [[Jerry Wang]] and [[Bob Singer|the Engineer]], and no i won&#039;t create an page about Dylan&#039;s bodyguards because that would be ridiculously dumb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I talked about this to [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) but he said that i was just speculating things, after that i said that i would keep it to myself and i wouldn&#039;t do any change nor create the page because of what he told me, now i regret doing that since i&#039;m afraid he won&#039;t believe me about what i&#039;m telling you right now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Sorry for not talking to you at the very beginning of the year but just like December i&#039;m not having free time to be here due to us being packing our stuff to move out, i was able to make some contributions right at the beginning of the 2021 but not to talk to someone about anything on their User talk pages. Still Happy 2021 and hope that this year is better than the fraggin&#039; crap that was [[2020]]! --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 13:50, 15 January 2021 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::That is quite a lot of text and I am not sure I am following the gist of your argument. The fate of these people doesn&#039;t have any relevance to whether they can be considered a coherent organization. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 00:05, 16 January 2021 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::Sorry if my last reply was too extensive but its because there was so many things that i found out about the collaborators and that happened in the meantime and i wanted to explain everything to you. I know the fact that my son (who is 2 years old) managed to find the box where my husband and i guarded the pictures we took from the website where we found the movie&#039;s script in its final version when we were kids at that time seems like an impossible case scenario, but what happened was that one day after we were done making our preparations to move out for that day to continue in the following day, we forgot that we left the ladder to attic opened, Gabriel was playing inside the house and sometime while none of us where paying attention he went upstairs and entered the attic. When we found him there he was opening all the boxes he found, after preventing him from opening more i saw that one of the boxes he opened contained things from our childhood that we forgot, including the pictures i took when i was 11 years old, that how he found it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::That&#039;s all what happened that brought me here and allow me to have an evidence that all the collaborators are as good as dead. You may not follow the gist of my last argument but its true, since if wasn&#039;t i wouldn&#039;t come up with the idea to create a page about them. In fact i never wanted to write any speculation of mine on this wiki since i always go for concrete facts about the brand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::Speaking of which you shouldn&#039;t have said that &amp;quot;their fates are irrelevant to whether they can be considered a coherent organization&amp;quot; because after what Fanofcoolstuff27 told me, i realized that human collaborators is not a group nor an organization, and so when i create the page it&#039;ll read like &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;the human collaborators are Decepticon-allied humans from the Dark of the Moon portion of the Live-action continuity family&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; and of course reveal what happened to them and include the fact that its revealed in the script on the notes section of the page, so that fans will know what happened to all of them at the end of the film and so prevent it from being changed to look ambiguous, since that&#039;s what everyone thinks when about them when (as i&#039;m saying a lot of times above) the script reveals what happened to all of them, besides i think that creating a page about the collaborators is a good way to celebrate Transformers: Dark of the Moon 10th year anniversary. I&#039;ll wait for your reply thanks! --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 20:25, 16 January 2021 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Human collaborators are not unique to Dark of the Moon. E.G. [[Shawn Berger]] can be regarded a human collaborator because he worked with the Decepticons. Then you have the question over whether, say, [[Marissa Faireborn]] would be covereed since she was part of the EDC in the IDW comics when they were working with the Decepticons.&lt;br /&gt;
:::::All that aside, I am not sure why you are trying to persuade me in particular that the wiki needs this page. A wiki is a group effort. If you are determined to create this, I would suggest creating it as a sandbox page and asking the community at large. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 00:30, 17 January 2021 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

::::::Abates, i&#039;m not persuading you, i&#039;m just saying everything to let you know about this subject and what i plan to do with it. I now understand that the human collaborators are something that exists from the beginning of the brand, and so i&#039;m going to do what you&#039;ve said and i&#039;ll create it as a sandbox and ask everyone if this wiki should really have it.

Just letting you know, you&#039;ve more than likely found an unofficial transcript of the dialogue which can be found for just about any film on the web. People with a lot of spare time write down every line of dialogue from films. This also sometimes leads to made up dialogue if something has been misinterpreted by the person recording the dialogue in written format. If the writer has used extracted subtitle files from films, that can also lead to misinterpreted dialogue (e.g. Bonecrusher&#039;s growls and alien gibberish being misinterpreted as spoken English words in the official subtitles for the first film or Animated&#039;s subtitles mistaking Shockwave&#039;s name for &amp;quot;Chug-Way&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for the body guards dying in the apartment, it is still just built on speculation. Yes, the Decepticon ship weapons turn humans to dust, but there is no dust or bones shown in the apartment. Again, we can&#039;t record anything on the wiki if it hasn&#039;t been confirmed or shown visibly. Their fates are simply left ambiguous. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 17:51, 17 January 2021 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Fanofcollstuff27, i know that the final version of the script that i found is an transcript made by someone, after all its obvious that no movie company would do something like that, but the version i&#039;m talking specifically about is accurate to how it happened in the film.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As for the collaborators in DOTM most of what i&#039;m saying is true, after all if Megatron ordered them to execute all of them to avoid any danger of his plans being exposed, then they really did killed them all, except for Dylan since he sold humanity as slaves for them so that their plan could finally be set into motion. But the bodyguards is the only part that&#039;s causing a lotta headache here, i know there was no dust or bones shown in the apartment during the slaughter after rescuing Carly, but their deaths could have happened while the drone sent by the government was descending to see what was going on, and so it wasn&#039;t shown to us. Also as i said on your talk page and this one, his body guards are so loyal to him they follow him anywhere he goes, so that means they should have followed Dylan when he approached 35 East Wacker to warn them about the situation, but as we saw in the film none of his body guards came with him. And last but not least the reason why there weren&#039;t dust or bones is because the slaughter was caused by the [[Orbital Assault Carrier]]&#039;s guns, not by the [[Disintegrator ray]]. Since the Disintegrator ray is the Carrier&#039;s weapons that causes the Humans to be reduced to dust with only remaining of their corpses being their skeletons, while the guns kills the human in a way that leaves absolutely nothing of their corpses, no body, no blood, no organs, no bones, no clothes, no dust, nothing, like if the victim didn&#039;t even existed. So why did i said that the guns causes to be reduced to dust with bones instead of being reduced to absolutely nothing? Because i decided that i would say only what fans want to hear, since one day while i was talking about what each of the Orbital Assault Carrier&#039;s guns do to the human body and when i said that the guns causes to be reduced to nothing and the disintegrator rays causes to be reduced to dust and bones, all the members of our transformers&#039; fan club on my school shouted at me &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;IF YOU CLAIM THAT THE ORBITAL ASSAULT CARRIERS&#039; GUNS REDUCE US TO NOTHING AND THE ORBITAL ASSAULT CARRIERS&#039; DISINTEGRATOR RAYS REDUCE US TO DUST WITH BONES, YOU&#039;RE NOT A TRUE TRANSFORMERS&#039; FAN!&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;. So that&#039;s why i did that. I&#039;m sorry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:If you and/or Abates want to reply me again, please don&#039;t do it here, do it on [[Transformers Wiki talk:Community Portal|the wiki&#039;s community portal]] because this is the last time i&#039;ll talk about this here, since i&#039;ll bring this conversation there so that more people can discuss about it. --[[User:Cybertron Forever|Cybertron Forever]] ([[User talk:Cybertron Forever|talk]]) 16:13, 18 January 2021 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

== Backing up the wiki with rsync ==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve been wondering about an older outstanding item from the tech wiki article:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Long term, we should find someone to host an rsync backup of the entire /var/lib/mediawiki directory, along with an offsite replica of the MySQL database. While it would take a while to reupload the data, this would effectively preserve the wiki in the event of a complete catastrophic datacenter failure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Synching MySQL and InnoDB can be tricky (especially with InnoDB), but even just backing up /var/lib/mediawiki to a separate Linode and using `mysqldump` every so often would be a good start? Would love to work out the details. Also, plesae let me know if there&#039;s a better place to work this out too. Thanks!

== RBA screencaps ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks again for your hard work as usual filling out the RBA articles! Just a hot tip, but if you use the Discovery Family app, you can watch the show with no network bug in the corner, with no HDCP preventing screencaps either. They stay available to stream until 30 days after their US airdate, so while it&#039;s not super helpful for replacing images from old episodes, it&#039;s a great way to get clean images as new episodes air. If you don&#039;t have access to it, though, feel free to ping me in the Discord when you&#039;re uploading a new pic so I can get you a clean version! -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19:22, 19 March 2021 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Zone Deaths==&lt;br /&gt;
I had removed the references to Trypticon dying post-Headmasters because I don&#039;t know that we have a concrete source saying that the members of the Destron 9 Dai Mashougun were actually &#039;&#039;&#039;dead&#039;&#039;&#039;. I mean, we thought Metrotitan was a zombie Metroplex for the longest time, and that turned out to be false. The odds of these nine guys all dying off-screen just to be brought back to life again feels... off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Black Zarak I&#039;ll grant for certain as dead, and maybe King Poseidon as I don&#039;t know what happens to Turtler in MF.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unless we can have specific reference to them all being resurrected by Violen Jyger (Jaeger/Jiger/whatnot), I&#039;d say leave it out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

As for the deaths, the Destron Generals were usually refered as the &amp;quot;9 Resurrected Destron Demon-Generals&amp;quot;, implying that they were all brought back to life.

Many thanks.  &amp;quot;Kyuu Daimashou-gun&amp;quot; literally translates to &amp;quot;9 Great Demonic Warriors&amp;quot;.  That leaves me to guess that the use of the word &amp;quot;demonic&amp;quot; and the presence of dead Decepticons like Black Zarak are what pointed people in the direction of them ALL being resurrected.  But still, I guess that&#039;s not really enough to go on.  Maybe add a footnote?--[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 23:50, 5 July 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

That&#039;s a mildly different interpretation than I had been going on... a friend of mine thought that &amp;quot;mashougun&amp;quot; was a pun combining &#039;&#039;mashou&#039;&#039; (demonic/devillish/etc) with &#039;&#039;shougun&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;general&amp;quot;), which is why I had been hyphenating it &amp;quot;Demon-Generals&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:(To be honest, I&#039;m not actually sure if Japanese puns &#039;&#039;work&#039;&#039; that way, and I don&#039;t think he&#039;s as Japanese-literate as you are.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Still, the base idea is the same in either translation, right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Given Violen Jyger&#039;s origin as &amp;quot;the conglomeration of a bunch of angry Destron souls&amp;quot; (see [http://www.remus.dti.ne.jp/~mikami/transformers/vj2.html here]), it&#039;s not out of the question that he&#039;d have the ability to raise the dead - heck, clearly he HAS that power, given Black Zarak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I haven&#039;t looked at the current Trypticon profile to see the recent changes, but I think a vague &amp;quot;Trypticon may or may not have been killed under unknown circumstances and  subsequentially revived&amp;quot; could work - or just ignore that particular facet and say that he was next seen working for Big Bug V until we get something more solid. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 00:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Edit: Looked at the current version. That works for me. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 00:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hmmm.  That &amp;quot;Mashougun&amp;quot; gag actually went over my head, there.  The definately DOES work, and I doubt it&#039;s a coincidence.  But I guess whether they&#039;re &amp;quot;Demonic Generals&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Demonic Warriors&amp;quot; doesn&#039;t really matter.  Personally, I like &amp;quot;Generals&amp;quot; better.  Also, I added a stub for [[Violen Jygar]].  Haven&#039;t written the fiction summary yet, so I&#039;ll be sure to add that tid bit abut him being the cumulation of angry Decepticon Sparks (didn&#039;t know that until now).  Thanks.--[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 00:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

==2005/2006==&lt;br /&gt;
As Jackpot asked about this in the latest edit summary: &amp;quot;Five Face of Darkness&amp;quot; is still in 2005, and consulting the Cybertron Chronicle shows that the first occurrence of the &amp;quot;Historical Trailer&amp;quot; stating that &amp;quot;Now it is the year 2006&amp;quot; was with &amp;quot;Starscream&#039;s Ghost,&amp;quot; the tenth aired episode of the season, well before &amp;quot;Big Broadcast,&amp;quot; which was twentieth.  -[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 02:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Trypticon ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
actually on the main page it states that the G1 Trypticon toy has NEVER been available to buy in the UK but that&#039;s WRONG!!!! coz during the mid to late 80&#039;s in a shop called WHAT EVERYONE WANTS in GLASGOW! i bought my G1 Trypticon toy there &amp;amp; still have him to this day!(although i&#039;ve since lost his side ramps!)but he&#039;s still a good toy &amp;amp; i&#039;m lucky to have him! {{unsigned|Hosta|08:51, 10 February 2011}}&lt;br /&gt;
:Was he available only there? If so, it was probably an imported toy not one generally released in the UK market. Any toy can be bought anywhere via specialty importers.--[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 09:00, 10 February 2011 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::aye your right! he prob was an import! coz it had Scramble City written on one the corner of the front of the box! but....still....a lucky find! {{unsigned|95.145.104.184|07:20, 11 February 2011}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== UK Release ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cute bit of trivia regarding the UK release - the Marvel comic actually rounded up 10 as competition prizes. The competition emphasised that the toy was not &#039;normally&#039; available in the UK - though an occasional recurring theme in letters pages was &amp;quot;I found this toy that you said isn&#039;t out in the UK&amp;quot;... Grimlock occasionally asked for readers to send packaging in so he could verify they were genuine toys, and opined they were. Don&#039;t know enough about UK 1980s toy shop ordering channels to come up with anything definitive, but I guess smaller independents went through different wholesalers - it&#039;s possible, considering the line seems to have had a slower decline over here, that we got shipped US overstock or something. The Trypticon competition was in #185 (Oct &#039;88) which I&#039;m guessing would be around the time he was discontinued in America.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Box Art ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wasn&#039;t sure where I should put this but I found this link to a guy who claims to have done the Trypticon box art, and also has some VERY interesting alternate drawings of Optimus Prime and Megatron&#039;s box art. I&#039;ve NEVER seen this alternate Megatron art before. http://www.base24.com/robot.htm [[Special:Contributions/207.255.27.100|207.255.27.100]] 10:53, 13 March 2012 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Takara Trypticon&#039;s Towers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rumor that all copies of LG43 have the symmetric tower tooling is false. I own one with asymmetric towers and have deleted that anecdote twice so I&#039;m posting it here. [[User:AzimuthAcolyte|AzimuthAcolyte]] ([[User talk:AzimuthAcolyte|talk]]) 15:03, 16 May 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;quot;Legendary shelfwarmer&amp;quot;?==&lt;br /&gt;
Isn&#039;t that an exaggeration?  He ended up at clearance stores because those are the places that bought inventory from dead TRU warehouses.  Metroplex was at Costco for $40 too.  --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 10:40, 21 September 2018 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;quot;The Nemesis&amp;quot;==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Should we include this in the toy section? I mean from the words of John Warden himself &amp;quot;Trypticon can also convert into The Nemesis, an incredible space fortress.&amp;quot; While showing the vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Primal vs Megatron!&#039;&#039;&#039; (Basic Class versus two-pack, 1996)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Takara ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;VS-6&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Two swords&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The first &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Primal was a Basic Class blue bat which could autotransform into a robot by pulling the tail. Two swords were removable from under its wings for use as weaponry in [[robot mode]]. In the [[Hasbro]] line, he was packaged along with an [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|alligator version of Megatron]] and a [[Optimus Primal vs Megatron!|&#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; mini-comic]]. The Japanese release of the two-pack, dubbed &amp;quot;Amazon Showdown: Convobat VS Megalligator&amp;quot; (アマゾンの対決, &#039;&#039;Amazon no taiketsu&#039;&#039;), lacks the comic, but does come with individual character bio cards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Whether this toy can be considered the Optimus Primal character is a matter of debate. Released before the animated series began, which established Optimus Primal as a separate entity from Optimus Prime, the accompanying profiles and mini-comic seem to assume that the Beast Wars are a progression of the same characters from the Autobot/Decepticon war. Whether the animated series&#039;s [[retcon]] affected this set of toys is probably a matter of personal preference. It can be interpreted as representing one of the more interesting micro-continuities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]&#039;&#039; has asserted that, in [[Beast Wars timeline (IDW)|IDW&#039;s version of the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; continuity]], Primal&#039;s bat form was suggested by the &#039;&#039;Axalon&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s computer as a potential alt mode, but he rejected it in favour of the more powerful gorilla without ever actually reformatting into it. Thus, this [[micro-continuity]] posits bat mode Primal as an essentially theoretical alt-form that never actually came to be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was also used to make the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#AmazonConvobat|Optimus Prime-recolored Convobat]] (who may or may not be a separate character from either Prime or Primal), and [[Onyx Primal#Toys|Onyx Primal]].&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Primal&#039;&#039;&#039; (Ultra Class, 1996/1997/1998)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Takara ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;C-1&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Two swords, four missiles, flail&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The second Optimus Primal toy was an ape in the Ultra size class.  Though the transformation from primate to humanoid was a relatively simplistic one, the toy compensated with more than a fair share of weaponry and action features. A compartment on his right forearm opened to reveal a skull-shaped mace he could hold in his fist. His left forearm could open into a double-barreled missile launcher. On his back were two spring-loaded missile launchers which auto-flipped over each shoulder.  By pulling a lever in the center of his back, both arms would either spin at the bicep or bend in and out at the elbow, depending on the placement of notch-buttons located on either bicep. This gimmick was shown to be an effort to simulate a gorilla beating its chest while Optimus was in [[beast mode]], but could also be used in robot mode, making him swing his weapons wildly before himself.  And finally, like many first-year &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toys, a battle mask/&amp;quot;[[mutant head]]&amp;quot; could be deployed over his robot head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The European version released in English/Spanish/Italian &#039;&#039;Beast Wars/Biocombat&#039;&#039; packaging featured the additional alternate name &amp;quot;Black Jack&amp;quot; for the Italian market, whereas the &#039;&#039;other&#039;&#039; European version released in French/Dutch/German &#039;&#039;Beast Wars/Ani Mutants&#039;&#039; packaging was simply named &amp;quot;Optimus Primal&amp;quot; just like the United States version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Takara released the toy under the name of &amp;quot;Convoy&amp;quot; as part of their &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; line in July of 1997, nearly identical to the Hasbro version. The missiles for the Takara version are thinner and simpler than the original Hasbro version, and would be used in all subsequent releases of the sculpt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This sculpt was [[redeco]]ed into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Primal and [[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]] DX Convoy, and [[retool]]ed into &#039;&#039;Beast Wars Reborn&#039;&#039;/&#039;&#039;Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary&#039;&#039; versus pack Optimus Primal. Takara also created multiple special variants, including all-gold (from &#039;&#039;Tele-V Magazine&#039;&#039;, only ten awarded), red and gray (&#039;&#039;Tele-V&#039;&#039; again, but only twenty pieces for lucky draw), and blue-fur (a &#039;&#039;[[Comic Bom Bom]]&#039;&#039; design-contest prize, only thirty awarded).&lt;br /&gt;

It came with tiny, non-transforming versions of Optimus Primal and [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]].

&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Transmetal]] Optimus Primal is a mechanical gorilla that transforms into a partially organic robot. Like all Transmetals, it featured chromed plastic and a third vehicle-inspired mode. In Primal&#039;s case, his gorilla mode could transform into a gorilla on a [[hoverboard]]. Two maces were stored on his back and could double as missiles for his hip-holstered blaster.&lt;br /&gt;

:Continuing a trend from Generation 1 where Italian releases of toys representing the same characters as previous toys released under the same name were sometimes given names that didn&#039;t reflect the Italian market names of those previous releases, the European version released in English/Spanish/Italian &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;/&#039;&#039;Biocombat&#039;&#039; packaging featured the additional alternate name &amp;quot;Metal Gorilla&amp;quot; for the Italian market.

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Optimal Optimus&#039;&#039;&#039; (Super Class Transmetal, 1998)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Takara ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;C-47&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; One gun, four missiles, six break-away armor plates&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Transmetal Optimal Optimus was the first toy in the Super size class, featuring electronics and four transformations: robot, ape, jet, and armored transport. When a back section of the cannon module was pulled, the eyes and shoulder-mounted missile launchers lit up and the launchers fired. It came with four missiles, two of which stored on its legs. Its forearms featured blast-away armor plates that could also be pegged to its upper arms. His cockpit perfectly fits a [[MicroVerse]] figure in the seat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Optimal Optimus&#039;s on-package [[bio]] states that he has Cybertronian &amp;quot;air guardian&amp;quot; technology and twin scramjet modules. [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]&#039;s function was Air Guardian, and his Tech Specs said he had these same scramjet modules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The European version released in English/Spanish/Italian &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;/&#039;&#039;Biocombat&#039;&#039; packaging featured the most bizarre choice for the additional alternate name for the Italian market yet, naming &#039;&#039;this&#039;&#039; figure &amp;quot;Optimus Primal&amp;quot; (!). Once again, the &#039;&#039;other&#039;&#039; European version released in French/Dutch/German &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;/&#039;&#039;Ani Mutants&#039;&#039; packaging was simply named &amp;quot;Optimal Optimus&amp;quot; just like the United States version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]&#039;&#039; character [[Optimal]]. This sculpt was also used to make [[Primal Prime]], with a redesign that had separate triggers for the missile-lighting and missile-launching so users would be less likely to shoot themselves in the eye.  This body was also the template for [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]&#039;s (non-toy) &amp;quot;Optimal&amp;quot; body, seen in &amp;quot;[[Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Japanese version features a more yellow shade of orange, different painted details include removing of blue paint on the helmet of headsculpt in robot mode, adding yellow paint on the armour of knee and shoulder to show more cartoon accurate, different translucent missiles with slightly changed mold where also will be inherited by Primal Prime in Beast Machines product line, and notably black tires instead of purple.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Energy [[shuriken]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The first &#039;&#039;[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Primal is a dark bronze and translucent blue technorganic gorilla that transforms into a technorganic robot. Based on early concept art, he has a...loose relationship to show accuracy, with a skeletal beast mode face and entirely different arms. Thankfully his gimmicks &#039;&#039;are&#039;&#039; more or less accurate. His right robot mode arm is spring-loaded to throw the shuriken that stores in his left leg (the ape mode&#039;s left shoulder). Like all &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; toys, he has a hidden &amp;quot;[[spark crystal]]&amp;quot; that displays his faction allegiance; Primal&#039;s is in his chest, revealed with the spring-loaded &amp;quot;flexing&amp;quot; motion that also moves his beast mode face up for snarling while posing. His robot mode head also features a changing expression via sliding brow/skullcap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Official [[Hasbro]] stock photography of this toy shows a differently-molded shuriken, lacking the &amp;quot;energy flame&amp;quot; effect.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Primal&#039;&#039;&#039; (Happy Meal toy, 2000)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: McDonald&#039;s &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; Optimus Primal is an incredibly simple toy that transforms from a technorganic robot to technorganic ape.  Its sculpted detail is based directly that of the television show&#039;s model for Primal. It uses translucent plastic for the body, and, like the other McDonald&#039;s &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; toys, there&#039;s a sculpted spark crystal on the toy&#039;s surface; on Optimus Primal, it is placed on the stomach. Additionally, there are two organic flaps on the toy&#039;s back, and in robot mode, nobody&#039;s entirely sure exactly what to do with them. Are they rotated all the way down to make his booster jets? Are they rotated out to the sides to make the backs of his shoulder pads? Are they rotated back to where they go in gorilla mode, once you get his heads swapped? We may never know.  &lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Missile&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:One of the last toys released in the &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; line (under the &amp;quot;Battle for the Spark&amp;quot; rebranding), &amp;quot;Blast Punch&amp;quot; Optimus Primal transforms into a technorganic gorilla more like the show model, though with a considerably brighter color scheme. His main [[gimmick]] is his left arm, which contains a hidden missile launcher. Pushing down on his shoulder armor &amp;quot;winds&amp;quot; the mechanism in his gauntlet. Pushing the spark crystal on his bicep spins his gauntlet around, simultaneously triggering the spring-loaded missile launcher and activating his spring-loaded ramming &amp;quot;blast punch&amp;quot; action, extending his fist forward nearly a full inch. He also has hidden jet thrusters under a panel on his back. In beast mode, a small button on the top of his head pushes his upper face up in a &amp;quot;snarling&amp;quot; action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Due to the small size of the two gears used to rotate the forearm, manually transforming Optimus&#039;s left arm can damage the gimmick to the point of no longer working. The soft plastic used in the gears prevents them from crumbling apart and allowing them to be glued to the pin, but damage can be prevented by using the wind-up mechanism exclusively to transform the arm. If it must be moved by hand, turning the forearm in the same direction as the motor allow the larger gears to safely ratchet to minimize damage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Blast Punch Optimus Primal was released in Japan in 2004 as &amp;quot;Convoy&amp;quot; as part of the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars Returns&#039;&#039; line, exclusive to [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] stores. The only difference between the releases is that Convoy has blue eyes in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Disc&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Intended for release in the &#039;&#039;[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]&#039;&#039; toyline, Air Attack Optimus Primal was eventually released as a [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] [[exclusive]] as part of the &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; toyline.  Positively oozing light-and-sound gimmicks in both modes, Optimus Primal does &#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039; sorts&#039;a crazy crap, all of which is first activated by pressing his chest plate. Doing so &amp;quot;turns on&amp;quot; his electronics with a metallic shrieking noise, and the toy proceeds to hum constantly while the chest glows with a red LED. The electronics will eventually &amp;quot;turn off&amp;quot; if the toy is left idle, but you don&#039;t want to do that! You want to push his head (in either mode), which activates glowing lights in his eyes and actual speech samples of [[Garry Chalk]] from the &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; cartoon (making Primal the first English-speaking &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toy to have speech clips performed by his actual cartoon voice actor). On top of that, the toy also features a pressure-launching disc-shooter in its robot mode stomach (accompanied by blasting sound effect), and a geared right arm with a spring-loaded punch action (and suitably pained electronic grunt). The &#039;&#039;big&#039;&#039; feature—the one that gives the toy its name—is his jetpack, which pops out (with translucent blue jet flames trailing behind) at the push of a button. This puts the toy into &amp;quot;flight mode&amp;quot;, and it constantly produces the sound of whooshing jets, which then rises and falls depending on how the figure is held. Tilt him upwards, and the pitch rises as he ascends! Tilt him down, and &#039;&#039;zoom!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Also, he has a butt on his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The sparkly brown plastic in this figure&#039;s chest and legs is prone to breaking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The toy&#039;s packaging features both an Autobot and Maximal insignia. The Maximal symbol used, however, is the one used during the &amp;quot;Beast Wars&amp;quot; rather than the one from &amp;quot;Beast Machines&amp;quot; this toy was meant to be part of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy was released in Japan on [[August 8]], 2002 as a Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us-exclusive &amp;quot;[[USA Edition]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the second wave of &#039;&#039;[[Robotmasters (franchise)#Toys|Robotmasters]]&#039;&#039; toys, Beast Convoy is a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] mold primarily based upon the original Ultra Class Optimus Primal figure, and using the original Ultra Class toy&#039;s color scheme. The mouthplate features an engraved mouth, although it is painted silver like the rest of the face, and lacks the Mutant Head from the original figure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Both forearms contain small, non-firing cannons in them (and thus a skull mace is not included), which can be revealed by flipping up the panels on his arms. Similarly, the missile launchers from the Ultra-class version of the toy have been replaced by non-firing cannons based more closely on the ones from the TV show. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Beast Convoy features open-palmed hands, thus preventing him from holding both of his swords in the same hand, but a small connector-piece is included to connect the swords together, allowing Beast Convoy to hold the lower sword with the upper sword connected. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Megatron]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|G1 Convoy]], Beast Convoy comes with a generic blue missile launcher which can fit in his palm. &lt;br /&gt;

[[File:PrimalXsword.jpg|left|100px|thumb|Opposable thumbs!]]&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|Beast Wars 10th Anniversary]]&#039;&#039; Optimus Primal is based loosely on his original ultra ape action figure while pulling some elements from other figures, including a transformation very similar to the Playskool Go-Bot [[Beast-Bot|Gorillabot]], which itself was a nod to Optimus Primal&#039;s &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; form. The sculpts for both BWX leader toys were intentionally designed to blend in with the Jungle Planet aesthetic, &amp;quot;in case&amp;quot; they didn&#039;t get a Beast Wars Anniversary release (according to [[Aaron Archer]]&#039;s statements at [[BotCon 2005]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Similar to his Transmetal form, BWX Optimus Primal also comes with a hoverboard with two [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s at the base, allowing him to ride it in his gorilla mode, or hold it in robot mode via the 5mm posts on his robot palms/gorilla feet. When a [[Cyber Key]] is inserted at the rear of the board, a spring-loaded extending &amp;quot;assault blade&amp;quot; (or &amp;quot;ass lt blade&amp;quot; as the instructions call it) deploys, and a trigger is revealed to allow one to use the spring-loaded missile launcher at the tip. Though it is not intended to be removed, the blade can be popped off and held in Primal&#039;s hand thanks to his poseable thumbs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He is also packaged with a mini-comic-sized reprinting of [[IDW Publishing]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Transformers, Beast Wars: The Gathering|The Gathering]]&#039;&#039; #1, a small [[Axalon (BW)#Toys|&#039;&#039;Axalon&#039;&#039;]] ship figurine, and a [[Animatron|Jungle Planet]]-style Cyber Key.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Gorilla|Optimus Prime]], [[BotCon 2014]] [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] and [[Primal Prime]], and &#039;&#039;[[Transformers United|United]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#United|Optimus Primal]]. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This release is a [[retool]] of the original 1996 Ultra toy, with new beast and robot heads, plus a new robot chest piece sculpted to match the television series&#039;s portrayal. The color scheme was also altered to be show-accurate, changing the black to dark gray, much of the light gray to medium gray with hints of bronze, primary red to crimson, and blue to a more dull steel blue.  All of the toy&#039;s previous [[gimmick]]s are retained with the sole exception of the &amp;quot;mutant head.&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure came packaged with a similarly-remolded [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Beast Wars Reborn|Megatron]] and a [[Golden Disk (disambiguation)|Golden Disk]] CD-ROM that contains control art for a number of &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toys.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: In 1995, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Laser Optimus Prime]] was a new [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039;]] mold that transformed into mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, pulling a grey and black fuel tank trailer. On the sides of the trailer is a humourous sticker depicting Laser Optimus Prime using a flamethrower to burn down a forest, with the words &amp;quot;Optimus Prime Octane&amp;quot; over the image.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, like Hero Optimus Prime, the bottom of the truck became his familiar windowed chest based upon the original Optimus Prime toy. His main gimmick was light up LED headlights, and a [[light-piping|lightpipe]] in the bottom of his right fist, illuminated by an LED in his right forearm, that would illuminate his clear sword or his double-barreled rifle if they were used in that hand. All three LEDs were activated simultaneously by pressing the sunroof-like depression on the roof of the truck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The trailer unfolds to form a battle station bristling with many firing weapons. Primarily, it can fire an air-powered missile launcher, a ripple rocket launcher with 5 missiles that can be launched individually (this turret can also be mounted in Laser Prime&#039;s hand) and a &#039;disc launcher&#039;, that fired several blue plastic discs adorned with the &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; Autobot sigil. This disc launcher is the only weapon that can be used in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was redecoed in 2000 as &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]&#039;&#039; [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]], and slightly retooled as Scourge. After Scourge, the next use of this mold was planned to be &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; [[Toxitron (Universe)|Toxitron]], which ended up being canceled. The slightly retooled version of this mold was released in 2006 in Japan as reissue Battle Convoy, which was the name of this toy during the Japanese &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039;. The reissue used the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039;]] modified tooling, with a slightly modified deco using silver vacuum-metalized plastic on his chest and trailer sides along with additional paint applications and G2 symbols. The mold was also redecoed to create a &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; version of Ultra Magnus as an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Within the &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars Reborn]]&#039;&#039; text story, the reissued Laser Prime toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a temporary form for Optimus Primal.&lt;br /&gt;

These thrusters each contain a spring-loaded missile launcher,and can be swung forward in both vehicle and robot mode by plugging a [[Cyber Planet Key]] into his key-jack.  This also activates electronic sound effects. He has a new head that replicates Optimus Primal&#039;s first [[character model]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Available only in a multi pack with the &#039;&#039;Axalon&#039;&#039; versions of [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#Timelines|Cheetor]], [[Rhinox (BW)#Timelines|Rhinox]], and [[Rattrap (BW)/toys#Timelines|Rattrap]], as well as the &#039;&#039;[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]&#039;&#039; version of [[Dinobot (BW)#Timelines|Dinobot]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Titanium Series&#039;&#039; Optimal Optimus transforms from robot into an armored transport. For undetermined reasons, this incarnation of Optimal Optimus does not include the beast mode. This does have precedent in the fiction: When [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] built a copy of that body for himself at the end of &#039;&#039;[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]&#039;&#039;, his version didn&#039;t have a beast mode either. Oddly enough, the two chest cannons can rotate back over his shoulder, while the original Beast Wars figure&#039;s cannons were in a fixed position. Amusingly, this toy is denoted as an [[Autobot]] both on his stand and on his shoulder, even though Optimal is a [[Maximal]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Black Convoy is the first &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; release since [[Skids (G1)#Alternators/Binaltech|Skids]] in early 2006, and was available exclusively in Japan at the winter Wonder Festival in 2007. His plastic colours are different from Nemesis Prime&#039;s, with grey plastic replacing the black on his shins, waist, shoulders, and forearms. In addition, Nemesis Prime&#039;s windows are tinted red, but Black Convoy&#039;s windows are completely clear. His paint deco is based upon &#039;&#039;Kiss Players&#039;&#039; Convoy&#039;s, arranged in the same patterns but using teal, and he has vacuum-metallized wheels and front grill. The paint deco on his head is meant to evoke that of &#039;&#039;Car Robots&#039;&#039; [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]]. Perhaps the most important differences are that he has die-cast metal parts, and most of his truck body panels are coated in gloss black paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Perhaps due to cost-cutting, this toy was released in the large bubble-on-a-tray packaging also used in the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; line. However, he came with no character or packaging art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]&#039;&#039; fiction [[Repurposing|repurposes]] this figure as a new body for Optimus Primal, based on how Primal&#039;s disembodied spark had previously taken possession of Nemesis&#039;s body earlier in the &#039;&#039;[[Story of Binaltech|Binaltech]]&#039;&#039; story.&lt;br /&gt;

He features warmer, more yellowish paint for the gorilla chest and face, and relocates the [[Maximal]] [[insignia]] to the &#039;&#039;underside&#039;&#039; of his gorilla backside [[kibble]] panel. His hoverboard, meanwhile, uses a darker shade of blue paint for the Cyber Key jack, and the front of the hoverboard features both the &amp;quot;stripes&amp;quot; from [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Gorilla|the &#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;&#039; redeco]] of this toy, and the fully-painted vents from the &amp;quot;10th Anniversary&amp;quot; version.&lt;br /&gt;

Like all &#039;&#039;Power of the Primes&#039;&#039; Leader Class figures, Optimus is a small Deluxe-sized robot who combines with the armor to form a larger figure based on the &amp;quot;Optimal Optimus&amp;quot; toy from the original &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; toyline. His smaller robot form transforms into a futuristic cargo ship; according to Hasbro at [[Toy Fair 2018]], the inner robot is meant to represent his Cybertronian form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He includes a Matrix of Leadership accessory with a removable center crystal, allowing any [[Prime Master]] to take its place. The Matrix can store in the cockpit, in reference to the &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]&#039;&#039; episode &amp;quot;[[Optimal Situation]]&amp;quot;, as well as two cannons which can be held as clubs or as guns in robot mode, and they can store in the legs of the Evolution Armor in ape mode. The Evolution Armor transforms into Optimal Optimus&#039;s gorilla mode, minus his backpack. The gorilla can ride Optimus Primal&#039;s ship mode as a surfboard, as a callback to Primal&#039;s [[#MegaTransmetal|Transmetal]] body and [[#Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|&#039;&#039;Beast Wars 10th Anniversary&#039;&#039;]] Deluxe figure. Optimus Primal can transform into a backpack for the gorilla, or combine with the armor to form a jet. His two cannons can be placed on his chest after moving the cockpit down or next to his head. They can also be left off and combined into a larger rifle or stored on his legs. In combined robot or ape mode, the weapons (individually or as a rifle) can be pegged into a 5mm post hole on either thumb, through there is no real way to do this that isn&#039;t awkward due to the placement.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Evolution Armor, two cannons/clubs, Matrix of Leadership frame, Matrix of Leadership core, 2 blast shields, crown, [[Scepter of Sparks]], [[Throne of the Primes]], 4 Prime Master figures&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Power of the Primes&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Throne of the Primes&amp;quot; Optimal Optimus is a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018-exclusive redeco of Evolution Optimal Optimus. The biggest change in his deco is to the Evolution Armor itself, which features the same colors as the core figure. The waist and backpack of the core figure, along with the blast shields, are cast in same dark gray as his shoulders, chest, and calves. The outer shell of the Matrix core figure is recolored reddish-orange, and the cannons feature additional paint applications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The additional accessories tie in to Primal&#039;s winning of the [[Power of the Primes (franchise)#Notes|2017 fan vote for the next Prime]]. The Scepter of Sparks, modelled after the [[#MegaTransmetal|Transmetal figure]]&#039;s club, which doubles as a mace, can hold up to four Prime Masters, such as the four included in this set. The crown is a new mold, featuring the Maximal logo on the front. Finally, the Throne of the Primes, while a cardboard insert, features artwork of the faces of the eight other competitors in the survey—[[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], and [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Unknown Evil]]. The Prime Masters can also be stored in the [[Halo of Primus]], a circular rotating plastic tray included on the back of the throne.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The four Primes he comes with are [[Amalgamous Prime#Generations|Amalgamous]], [[Nexus Prime#Generations|Nexus]], [[Prima#Generations|Prima]] and the [[Thirteenth Prime#Generations|Thirteenth]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For some odd reason, HasbroToyShop stock photography showed the figure with a [[Megatronus]] [[Inferno (G1)/toys#Generations|Inferno]] [[Prime Master/Combinations|card]], despite the figure coming with his own special card.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Debuting at SDCC 2018, this set was later made available via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]], but sold out in about 20 minutes. The toy was later released at general retail in Taiwan and Japan.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class toys, Optimus Primal transforms from show-accurate robot into a realistic gorilla in 22 steps. Closer to a Deluxe Class size (likely to relatively scale with &#039;&#039;Kingdom&#039;&#039; Leader Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#K11|Optimus Prime]]), Optimus Primal makes up for it with above-average articulation, including butterfly shoulder joints, double-jointed knees, opening hands, rotating shins for a foot point, and toe articulation in both modes. Optimus Primal also has fold-out shoulder cannons, two Cyber Blades that store on his back in either mode, and pop-out jointed forearm blasters. A rarity for the &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron Trilogy&#039;&#039;, Optimus Primal has no [[5 mm post|5 mm]] ports barring his hands, making him largely incompatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. However, he still features 3 mm posts at the end of his blaster tips, as well as his buttflap, which is molded to resemble jet boosters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A variant of the Cyber Blades was discovered with the blades coming in a matte bone white coloring instead of the show accurate silver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, the white paint on the insides of Optimus Primal&#039;s thighs near his hip joints is heavily prone to chipping off as a result of friction with his crotch plate, namely where its sprue was connected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Stock renders cast his robot mode feet in a more show-accurate grey. Hasbro stock photography (right) is mistransformed, with the robot mode&#039;s shoulder cannons still extended on the gorilla&#039;s shoulders. Some pictures also pose his gorilla legs in a way that makes the flap of thigh-covering [[kibble]] appear like a loincloth, when it can plug into his [[flight stand]] port to sit flush with the legs for a natural appearance. &lt;br /&gt;
:A variant was recently discovered with Primal&#039;s Cyber Blades coming in either &lt;br /&gt;
:Like all &#039;&#039;Kingdom&#039;&#039; Voyager figures, Optimus Primal comes with a [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] card that &amp;quot;reveals a possible destiny of a key character&amp;quot;, with each character having three possible destiny variants. As part of the first wave, he can come with 1 of 4 [[Source:Golden Disk destinies|possible cards]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Three ape faces, four robot faces, two Cyber Blades, skull flail (Asia exclusive)&lt;br /&gt;
:Released to celebrate &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s 20th anniversary, &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Convoy is a faithful recreation of the character as he appeared in the Mainframe animated series. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TF-Masterpiece-MP32-Asia-exclusive-skull-flail.jpg|left|100px|thumb|It&#039;s a lost art of weaponry.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Matching his original figure, Convoy has two &amp;quot;cyber blade&amp;quot; swords, which can now be stored on his back in robot mode. Each wrist has cartoon-accurate flip-out &amp;quot;plasma cannons&amp;quot;, while his &amp;quot;mega blaster&amp;quot; shoulder cannons have also been recreated. In robot mode, a panel can rotate in his posterior to reveal his &amp;quot;convoy jet&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Convoy has the new gimmick of light-up eyes. These are powered by two computer batteries stored in the beast mode head and activated by pressing down the robot mode head. They stay lit for about ten seconds. Convoy comes with three different gorilla faces: neutral; smiling and angry, and four different robot mode faces: open-mouthed; close-mouthed; smirking and original style mouthless faceplate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Optimus Primal is an inch or two smaller than his original Ultra Class toy, comparable to Beast Wars Neo [[Big Convoy]]. Not shown in the instructions is a peghole in the waist, designed to allow Convoy to be mounted on a flying stand. Another undocumented feature is a peg on his back, that allows &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; [[Rattrap (BW)/toys#Generations|Rattrap]] to ride on his back by plugging the aforementioned peg in the hole that is normally used for weapon storage in beast mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:If bought in Asian countries outside of Japan, he also comes with a die-cast skull flail based on the one that came with the original toy. It comes packaged in a cardboard box designed to look like a crate of [[banana]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the second wave of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; [[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]], this PVC figurine of Optimus Primal&#039;s original gorilla body has articulation in the shoulders and neck. He was available only in a &amp;quot;Beast Wars Series&amp;quot; two-pack with [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] (amusingly enough, the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] he also came with in the &#039;&#039;[[MicroVerse]]&#039;&#039; [[Orcanoch]] playset).&lt;br /&gt;

:Optimus Primal would have come with [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]] in this set. Like the other later [[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]] waves, this toy was cancelled because retailers only wanted &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; toys. Some managed to trickle out into the wild - the picture seen here comes from an eBay auction. He looks... Unhinged, to say the least.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
* The design of Optimus Primal&#039;s bat form is an [[homage]] to [[Batman]], an action figure license also held at the time by [[Kenner]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Page 78, Toy database section in &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars Universe]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to Bob Forward at a BotCon panel, the &amp;quot;Flight Mode&amp;quot; Primal has in the first season of the &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; animation is a vestigial reference to the bat-form, the concept being that Primal and Megatron would each have had 4(!) modes, able to transform freely between them.  This was ultimately considered too difficult to animate, and the concept was dropped, Primal&#039;s &amp;quot;Prime Jets&amp;quot; being a way to prevent re-writing the flight-related parts of the scripts. &lt;br /&gt;
* Primal&#039;s gorilla mode, paired against [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;T. rex&#039;&#039; mode, was inspired by the showdown in the film &#039;&#039;[[King Kong]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://obscuretf.com/hhk/BC04interviews.html Botcon 2004 Interview with Vinnie D&#039;Alleva], p2&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* According to the control art of Optimus Primal&#039;s toy, his chest originally seemed to be a kind of launcher instead of being an homage to the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Page 50, Toy database section in &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars Universe]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Ectotron is an [[Autobot]] and [[Ghostbusters|Ghostbuster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]] (via [[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]).&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ectotron_boxart.jpg|thumb|300px|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tdyU_gW6WE I ain’t afraid of no sleep. I ain’t afraid of no bed.]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ectronymous Diamatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (nicknamed &#039;&#039;&#039;Ectotron&#039;&#039;&#039;) has learned that sometimes, you just have to roll with what life throws at you. A bit of a stuffy, fussy bot by nature, he&#039;s learned that whether it&#039;s dealing with beings who can&#039;t pronounce his full name (or just don&#039;t want to) or getting splattered with spectral marshmallow goop, better to just go with it and soldier on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s how he&#039;s ended up working with the [[Ghostbusters]], a team of [[human]] paranormal investigators. Now in the guise of their (semi)reliable [[Ecto-1]] vehicle, this theoretical physicist finds himself in the company of a group who &#039;&#039;don&#039;t&#039;&#039; think he&#039;s really all that weird, given what they&#039;ve been through. Plus, now he&#039;s got a Cybertronian-sized ion-throwing [[proton pack]] and neutrona wand, which is pretty dang useful against foes both physical and ectoplasmic.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:GhostsOfCybertron1-Ectotron.jpg|thumb|left|300px|&amp;quot;...Funkytown.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A theoretical physicist by trade, {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 3}} Ectronymous Diamatron was one of the many Autobots who fled the Decepticon-occupied [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] aboard the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039;, moments before the planet&#039;s destruction at the hands of [[Gozer]]. Although Ectronymous had worked hard to achieve his scientific credentials, Ectronymous felt overlooked by his shipmates, and chafed at their impromptu nickname, &amp;quot;Eck.&amp;quot; Believing that the Autobots aboard the ship were the last of their kind after the loss of their homeworld, Ectronymous was shocked when—during one of his shifts on the &#039;&#039;Ark&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s&#039;&#039; communication console—his homemade scanner detected a Cybertronian signal from a nearby world, and news of this strange reading eventually found its way up to Autobot leader [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. Though the other Autobots doubted the veracity of his findings, Ectronymous&#039;s conviction moved Prime, and the Autobot leader decided to allow the scientist to travel to the planet to investigate: a planet the natives called &amp;quot;[[Earth]].&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GhostsOfCybertron2-everyonevskremzeek.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arriving just outside [[Prospect Park]] in [[New York City]], Ectronymous [[scanning|scanned]] the first vehicle he could find: the [[Ecto-1]], incapacitated after a run-in with a particularly aggressive [[ghost]]. It was in this form that he first encountered [[human]]s, scaring off a pair of police officers who had attempted to ticket the illegally parked vehicle, before he was discovered by the [[Ghostbusters]], confused at the presence of &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; cars. It was not until the arrival of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]&#039;s own ghost, however, that Ectronymous realized the &#039;&#039;true&#039;&#039; source of the signal; though [[Ray Stantz]] easily captured Starscream&#039;s ghost, [[Winston Zeddemore]]&#039;s confusion over what an &amp;quot;Autobot&amp;quot; was prompted Ectronymous to reveal his true form to the Ghostbusters. {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Ectronymous initially believed that he could simply intimidate the four men into handing over the [[ghost trap]] in question, he found that the Ghostbusters were far more difficult to intimidate than he initially believed, and Ectronymous was forced to zap the trap out of [[Peter Venkman]]&#039;s hands, releasing the furious Air Commander. Despite initial hostilities, Starscream was able to persuade the heroes of his good intentions, claiming that he had been reduced to this ghostly state by a supernatural being that called itself &amp;quot;[[Kremzeek]]&amp;quot;—a story that was seemingly borne out moments later, when an electrically charged imp materialized nearby. Unable to restrain the creature with their normal technology, Ectronymous helped ground the manifestation and instantaneously dispelled it. Entering into an uneasy truce with Starscream, the group returned to [[Ghostbusters firehouse|the firehouse]] so that Ectronymous could repair his communications, which had been damaged during atmospheric entry, and contact Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GhostsOfCybertron3-Ectotrontransforms.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait a minute, what did you do to my uncle’s hearse?!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After meeting [[Janine Melnitz]], and grudgingly accepting the nickname &amp;quot;Ectotron&amp;quot;, Ectronymous was able to reestablish contact with the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039; and inform Prime of the strange proceedings; while waiting for the Autobot leader to join them on Earth, however, the Ghostbusters accepted a job in Brooklyn and, with their main vehicle disabled, Ectotron was pressed into service as their substitute ride. While investigating an abandoned power plant in [[Brooklyn]], the team ran afoul of [[Killerwatt|another electrical ghost]]; thanks to Ectotron modifying a ghost trap beforehand to handle the increased wattage, and tackling a nearby telephone line after realizing that the ghost was feeding off the city&#039;s energy grid, the Ghostbusters were able to safely capture the ghost. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On returning to the firehouse, Ectotron connected with Optimus—who had, in the meantime, gotten acquainted with New York City&#039;s graffiti culture firsthand—and prepared to show him the trap where Starscream had been imprisoned in after returning to the firehouse... only for Peter to reveal that Starscream had vanished. {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 3}} After relocating to the Ghostbusters&#039; offsite [[Red Hook]] warehouse, the Cybertronians both received a set of massively upscaled [[proton pack]]s designed to tackle Cybertronian threats; after a brief and unsuccessful practice run, however, Egon detected Starscream&#039;s PKE signature in [[Queens]], and the team headed out. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GhostsOfCybertronPart4-protonpacks.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While investigating [[Grosbeak Generating Station]], the team encountered Starscream... and, moments later, his ghostly &amp;quot;master&amp;quot; Kremzeek, who promptly swallowed his disloyal minion and launched an attack on the Ghostbusters and Autobots. While Peter cut the power and Optimus took on Kremzeek, Ray hit on the bright idea to unleash the electrical ghost that they had captured the previous night. After Ectotron procured the ghost trap in question, the team unleashed the ghost, who promptly devoured Keemzeek and, in the process, cancelled itself out. However, Kremzeek&#039;s destruction &#039;&#039;also&#039;&#039; unleashed the ghosts of the Decepticons that Kremzeek had captured and enslaved... including [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]! {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the ensuing battle, Ectotron was able to restrain and trap [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]&#039;s ghost, but was taken off guard when Megatron used his ghostly powers to possess Ectotron&#039;s body, using him to momentarily overpower Optimus Prime. However, the Autobot leader was able to quickly pin down the possessed Autobot, long enough for Ray to use some [[mood slime]] to expel Megatron from his body. Though the [[Decepticon leader]] then considered possessing Optimus himself, he found himself restrained by Ectotron&#039;s neutrona wand, being summarily detained within a ghost trap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GhostsOfCybertronPart5-EctotronOptimus.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath, Ectotron decided to leave Earth along with Optimus Prime, but decided that he would not return to the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039;; rather, he would continue to travel the universe and search for more Cybertronian ghosts in the hopes that they could one day be returned to life and rehabilitated. As the first &amp;quot;intergalactic Ghostbuster&amp;quot;, the scientist generated a new nametag for himself, and—after helping to repair both the firehouse and the real Ecto-1—left Earth aboard his shuttle... unaware that his departure was being watched by Starscream&#039;s ghost. {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 5}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Collaborative-Ghostbusters-Ectotron-box.jpg|thumb|right|200px|It&#039;s technical.  It&#039;s one of our little toys.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ectotron&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[July 8]], [[2019]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: [[Proton pack]], neutrona wand, [[Slimer]] figurine&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The first figure announced for the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]&#039;&#039; line, Ectotron turns into a [[General Motors]] licensed custom 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor, representing [[Ecto-1]] from the &#039;&#039;Ghostbusters&#039;&#039; series. His vehicle mode features extensive paint applications to allow a mostly accurate appearance, including a lot of silver over translucent plastic to allow clear head, tail, and roof lights. The mass of machinery up top pulls out from the vehicle mode to form a &amp;quot;proton pack&amp;quot; in robot mode, with the connecting cable for the neutrona wand formed by the blue rubberized hose on the driver&#039;s side. This hose can be a bit of a pain to get back into position when transforming back to vehicle mode, so be careful. In robot mode, he features several design cues based on the Ghostbusters&#039; uniforms, including the tan of their jumpsuits, his own nametag, and goggles. Whether coincidentally or by design, the proportions of Ectotron&#039;s vehicle and robot modes means that he is more-or-less in [[scale]] with most &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; figures. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a [[5 mm post|5 mm-compatible]] neutrona wand accessory (which mounts on the side of the roof-gear in vehicle mode), and a delicious-looking soft translucent figurine of Slimer. The neutrona wand has a tip compatible with [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] blast effects, and Slimer similarly has a compatible port on his underside. While it is likely to allow for mounting on an action figure &amp;quot;flight&amp;quot; stand, it also allows Slimer to be mounted on the roof of the vehicle mode or on the end of the weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Ectotron shares several parts with the &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class [[Hot Spot (G1)#Combiner Wars|Hot Spot]]/[[Onslaught (G1)#Combiner Wars|Onslaught]] mold, most evidently the upper arms and legs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Ectotron is packaged in a nostalgic [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]-styled box in vehicle mode, much like the contemporaneous &#039;&#039;[[Vintage G1]]&#039;&#039; line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The stock photography shows Ectotron holding his weapon by the peg used to mount it on the car mode roof machinery, while the instructions instead show it held by the grip that the cable plugs into. While the latter is more accurate to the device&#039;s operation in the film, the former allows it to be aimed forward without shooting from the hip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Announced in the run-up to [[Toy Fair 2019]], preorders for Ectotron went up on [[Hasbro Pulse]] on [[February 15]], 2019, selling out within six hours. Ectotron was also sold online through [[GameStop]] in the United States, [[EB Games]] in Canada, and Zing and EB Games in Australia.   In 2020, additional online retailers offered this product for sale.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ectotron&#039;&#039;&#039; (2021)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: [[Proton pack]], neutrona wand, [[Slimer]] figurine, [[Muncher]] figurine&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A redeco and minor retool of the original figure, the second version of Ectotron is based on the Ecto-1&#039;s worn-down appearance in &#039;&#039;Ghostbusters: Afterlife&#039;&#039;, with rust and cracked Ghostbusters logos. The Ecto-1&#039;s ladder has been moved from the right side of the car to the left, and in robot mode Ectotron features a new head sculpt with lowered goggles and a raised face shield. Despite the prototype having painted eyes and mouth, the Slimer figurine remains unpainted on the final product and a second ghost, Muncher, is included as an unpainted translucent blue figurine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of Ectotron is packaged with a copy of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers/Ghostbusters]]&#039;&#039; [[Ghosts of Cybertron Part 1|#1]]. To accommodate the comic, the packaging has been changed from the original release&#039;s box to a blister card.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Ectotron was released as a [[Target]] [[exclusive]], going up for preorder on [[November 13]], 2020.&lt;br /&gt;

* Ectotron went through several prototype designs settling on the final version of the character. [http://66.media.tumblr.com/e3cdc9b0d6e2a71c9199df9941c4fe8d/tumblr_pxxgpa7gsg1qcrr5qo1_1280.jpg The earliest concept art] depicted Ectotron with an entirely different transformation scheme, which featured a chest formed from the hood of the Ecto-1, and slightly different legs. A second revision (pictured right), produced in 2018 in association with [[Dan Schoening]] and [[Luis Antonio Delgado]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/dannyschoening/status/1139058113892372480&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; possessed a slightly different head, a Shockwave-esque hand-mounted proton weapon, and a hazard stripe deco—apparently based off the [[wikia:ghostbusters:Ecto-1a|Ecto-1a]] from &#039;&#039;Ghostbusters II&#039;&#039;—rather than the beige &amp;quot;jumpsuit&amp;quot; pattern as seen on the final toy.&lt;br /&gt;
*Ectotron&#039;s [[Tech Spec]] include the normal strength, intelligence, speed, and [[fireblast]] categories, as well as two new categories representing ghost trapping and “ghostbustability”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.allspark.com/2019/02/transformers-collaborative-line-debuts-with-ghostbusters-ectotron/ Ectotron product listing archived at Allspark.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Ectotron&#039;s code name was &amp;quot;Project Mullet&amp;quot;. That name appears in listings at UK wholesaler NDA Toys&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mulletnda&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.nda-toys.com/product/7377/transformers-gen-project-mullet-wholesale NDA Toys listing] for &amp;quot;Project Mullet&amp;quot; aka Ectotron.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and several international Amazon divisions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mulletamzuk&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MMSVNP1 Amazon UK listing] for &amp;quot;Project Mullet&amp;quot; aka Ectotron.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mulletamzde&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07MMSVNP1 Amazon Germany listing] for &amp;quot;Project Mullet&amp;quot; aka Ectotron.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*According to [[Erik Burnham]] and Dan Schoening, Ectotron&#039;s dialogue in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers/Ghostbusters]]&#039;&#039; was written with the voice of {{w|David Hyde Pierce}} in mind.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/erikburnham/status/1143706829488349185&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Ectotron is an [[Autobot]] and [[Ghostbusters|Ghostbuster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]] (via [[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]).&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Ectronymous Diamatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (nicknamed &#039;&#039;&#039;Ectotron&#039;&#039;&#039;) has learned that sometimes, you just have to roll with what life throws at you. A bit of a stuffy, fussy bot by nature, he&#039;s learned that whether it&#039;s dealing with beings who can&#039;t pronounce his full name (or just don&#039;t want to) or getting splattered with spectral marshmallow goop, better to just go with it and soldier on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s how he&#039;s ended up working with the [[Ghostbusters]], a team of [[human]] paranormal investigators. Now in the guise of their (semi)reliable [[Ecto-1]] vehicle, this theoretical physicist finds himself in the company of a group who &#039;&#039;don&#039;t&#039;&#039; think he&#039;s really all that weird, given what they&#039;ve been through. Plus, now he&#039;s got a Cybertronian-sized ion-throwing [[proton pack]] and neutrona wand, which is pretty dang useful against foes both physical and ectoplasmic.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:GhostsOfCybertron1-Ectotron.jpg|thumb|left|300px|&amp;quot;...Funkytown.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A theoretical physicist by trade, {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 3}} Ectronymous Diamatron was one of the many Autobots who fled the Decepticon-occupied [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] aboard the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039;, moments before the planet&#039;s destruction at the hands of [[Gozer]]. Although Ectronymous had worked hard to achieve his scientific credentials, Ectronymous felt overlooked by his shipmates, and chafed at their impromptu nickname, &amp;quot;Eck.&amp;quot; Believing that the Autobots aboard the ship were the last of their kind after the loss of their homeworld, Ectronymous was shocked when—during one of his shifts on the &#039;&#039;Ark&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s&#039;&#039; communication console—his homemade scanner detected a Cybertronian signal from a nearby world, and news of this strange reading eventually found its way up to Autobot leader [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. Though the other Autobots doubted the veracity of his findings, Ectronymous&#039;s conviction moved Prime, and the Autobot leader decided to allow the scientist to travel to the planet to investigate: a planet the natives called &amp;quot;[[Earth]].&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GhostsOfCybertron2-everyonevskremzeek.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arriving just outside [[Prospect Park]] in [[New York City]], Ectronymous [[scanning|scanned]] the first vehicle he could find: the [[Ecto-1]], incapacitated after a run-in with a particularly aggressive [[ghost]]. It was in this form that he first encountered [[human]]s, scaring off a pair of police officers who had attempted to ticket the illegally parked vehicle, before he was discovered by the [[Ghostbusters]], confused at the presence of &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; cars. It was not until the arrival of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]&#039;s own ghost, however, that Ectronymous realized the &#039;&#039;true&#039;&#039; source of the signal; though [[Ray Stantz]] easily captured Starscream&#039;s ghost, [[Winston Zeddemore]]&#039;s confusion over what an &amp;quot;Autobot&amp;quot; was prompted Ectronymous to reveal his true form to the Ghostbusters. {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Ectronymous initially believed that he could simply intimidate the four men into handing over the [[ghost trap]] in question, he found that the Ghostbusters were far more difficult to intimidate than he initially believed, and Ectronymous was forced to zap the trap out of [[Peter Venkman]]&#039;s hands, releasing the furious Air Commander. Despite initial hostilities, Starscream was able to persuade the heroes of his good intentions, claiming that he had been reduced to this ghostly state by a supernatural being that called itself &amp;quot;[[Kremzeek]]&amp;quot;—a story that was seemingly borne out moments later, when an electrically charged imp materialized nearby. Unable to restrain the creature with their normal technology, Ectronymous helped ground the manifestation and instantaneously dispelled it. Entering into an uneasy truce with Starscream, the group returned to [[Ghostbusters firehouse|the firehouse]] so that Ectronymous could repair his communications, which had been damaged during atmospheric entry, and contact Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GhostsOfCybertron3-Ectotrontransforms.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait a minute, what did you do to my uncle’s hearse?!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After meeting [[Janine Melnitz]], and grudgingly accepting the nickname &amp;quot;Ectotron&amp;quot;, Ectronymous was able to reestablish contact with the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039; and inform Prime of the strange proceedings; while waiting for the Autobot leader to join them on Earth, however, the Ghostbusters accepted a job in Brooklyn and, with their main vehicle disabled, Ectotron was pressed into service as their substitute ride. While investigating an abandoned power plant in [[Brooklyn]], the team ran afoul of [[Killerwatt|another electrical ghost]]; thanks to Ectotron modifying a ghost trap beforehand to handle the increased wattage, and tackling a nearby telephone line after realizing that the ghost was feeding off the city&#039;s energy grid, the Ghostbusters were able to safely capture the ghost. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On returning to the firehouse, Ectotron connected with Optimus—who had, in the meantime, gotten acquainted with New York City&#039;s graffiti culture firsthand—and prepared to show him the trap where Starscream had been imprisoned in after returning to the firehouse... only for Peter to reveal that Starscream had vanished. {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 3}} After relocating to the Ghostbusters&#039; offsite [[Red Hook]] warehouse, the Cybertronians both received a set of massively upscaled [[proton pack]]s designed to tackle Cybertronian threats; after a brief and unsuccessful practice run, however, Egon detected Starscream&#039;s PKE signature in [[Queens]], and the team headed out. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GhostsOfCybertronPart4-protonpacks.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While investigating [[Grosbeak Generating Station]], the team encountered Starscream... and, moments later, his ghostly &amp;quot;master&amp;quot; Kremzeek, who promptly swallowed his disloyal minion and launched an attack on the Ghostbusters and Autobots. While Peter cut the power and Optimus took on Kremzeek, Ray hit on the bright idea to unleash the electrical ghost that they had captured the previous night. After Ectotron procured the ghost trap in question, the team unleashed the ghost, who promptly devoured Keemzeek and, in the process, cancelled itself out. However, Kremzeek&#039;s destruction &#039;&#039;also&#039;&#039; unleashed the ghosts of the Decepticons that Kremzeek had captured and enslaved... including [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]! {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the ensuing battle, Ectotron was able to restrain and trap [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]&#039;s ghost, but was taken off guard when Megatron used his ghostly powers to possess Ectotron&#039;s body, using him to momentarily overpower Optimus Prime. However, the Autobot leader was able to quickly pin down the possessed Autobot, long enough for Ray to use some [[mood slime]] to expel Megatron from his body. Though the [[Decepticon leader]] then considered possessing Optimus himself, he found himself restrained by Ectotron&#039;s neutrona wand, being summarily detained within a ghost trap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:GhostsOfCybertronPart5-EctotronOptimus.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath, Ectotron decided to leave Earth along with Optimus Prime, but decided that he would not return to the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039;; rather, he would continue to travel the universe and search for more Cybertronian ghosts in the hopes that they could one day be returned to life and rehabilitated. As the first &amp;quot;intergalactic Ghostbuster&amp;quot;, the scientist generated a new nametag for himself, and—after helping to repair both the firehouse and the real Ecto-1—left Earth aboard his shuttle... unaware that his departure was being watched by Starscream&#039;s ghost. {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 5}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Collaborative-Ghostbusters-Ectotron-box.jpg|thumb|right|200px|It&#039;s technical.  It&#039;s one of our little toys.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ectotron&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[July 8]], [[2019]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: [[Proton pack]], neutrona wand, [[Slimer]] figurine&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The first figure announced for the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]&#039;&#039; line, Ectotron turns into a [[General Motors]] licensed custom 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor, representing [[Ecto-1]] from the &#039;&#039;Ghostbusters&#039;&#039; series. His vehicle mode features extensive paint applications to allow a mostly accurate appearance, including a lot of silver over translucent plastic to allow clear head, tail, and roof lights. The mass of machinery up top pulls out from the vehicle mode to form a &amp;quot;proton pack&amp;quot; in robot mode, with the connecting cable for the neutrona wand formed by the blue rubberized hose on the driver&#039;s side. This hose can be a bit of a pain to get back into position when transforming back to vehicle mode, so be careful. In robot mode, he features several design cues based on the Ghostbusters&#039; uniforms, including the tan of their jumpsuits, his own nametag, and goggles. Whether coincidentally or by design, the proportions of Ectotron&#039;s vehicle and robot modes means that he is more-or-less in [[scale]] with most &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; figures. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a [[5 mm post|5 mm-compatible]] neutrona wand accessory (which mounts on the side of the roof-gear in vehicle mode), and a delicious-looking soft translucent figurine of Slimer. The neutrona wand has a tip compatible with [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] blast effects, and Slimer similarly has a compatible port on his underside. While it is likely to allow for mounting on an action figure &amp;quot;flight&amp;quot; stand, it also allows Slimer to be mounted on the roof of the vehicle mode or on the end of the weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Ectotron shares several parts with the &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class [[Hot Spot (G1)#Combiner Wars|Hot Spot]]/[[Onslaught (G1)#Combiner Wars|Onslaught]] mold, most evidently the upper arms and legs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Ectotron is packaged in a nostalgic [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]-styled box in vehicle mode, much like the contemporaneous &#039;&#039;[[Vintage G1]]&#039;&#039; line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The stock photography shows Ectotron holding his weapon by the peg used to mount it on the car mode roof machinery, while the instructions instead show it held by the grip that the cable plugs into. While the latter is more accurate to the device&#039;s operation in the film, the former allows it to be aimed forward without shooting from the hip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Announced in the run-up to [[Toy Fair 2019]], preorders for Ectotron went up on [[Hasbro Pulse]] on [[February 15]], 2019, selling out within six hours. Ectotron was also sold online through [[GameStop]] in the United States, [[EB Games]] in Canada, and Zing and EB Games in Australia.   In 2020, additional online retailers offered this product for sale.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: [[Proton pack]], neutrona wand, [[Slimer]] figurine, [[Muncher]] figurine&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A redeco and minor retool of the original figure, the second version of Ectotron is based on the Ecto-1&#039;s worn-down appearance in &#039;&#039;Ghostbusters: Afterlife&#039;&#039;, with rust and cracked Ghostbusters logos. The Ecto-1&#039;s ladder has been moved from the right side of the car to the left, and in robot mode Ectotron features a new head sculpt with lowered goggles and a raised face shield. Despite the prototype having painted eyes and mouth, the Slimer figurine remains unpainted on the final product, and a second ghost, Muncher, is included as an unpainted translucent blue figurine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of Ectotron is packaged with a copy of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers/Ghostbusters]]&#039;&#039; [[Ghosts of Cybertron Part 1|#1]]. To accommodate the comic, the packaging has been changed from the original release&#039;s box to a blister card.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Ectotron was released as a [[Target]] [[exclusive]], going up for preorder on [[November 13]], 2020.&lt;br /&gt;

* Ectotron went through several prototype designs settling on the final version of the character. [http://66.media.tumblr.com/e3cdc9b0d6e2a71c9199df9941c4fe8d/tumblr_pxxgpa7gsg1qcrr5qo1_1280.jpg The earliest concept art] depicted Ectotron with an entirely different transformation scheme, which featured a chest formed from the hood of the Ecto-1, and slightly different legs. A second revision (pictured right), produced in 2018 in association with [[Dan Schoening]] and [[Luis Antonio Delgado]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/dannyschoening/status/1139058113892372480&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; possessed a slightly different head, a Shockwave-esque hand-mounted proton weapon, and a hazard stripe deco—apparently based off the [[wikia:ghostbusters:Ecto-1a|Ecto-1a]] from &#039;&#039;Ghostbusters II&#039;&#039;—rather than the beige &amp;quot;jumpsuit&amp;quot; pattern as seen on the final toy.&lt;br /&gt;
*Ectotron&#039;s [[Tech Spec]] include the normal strength, intelligence, speed, and [[fireblast]] categories, as well as two new categories representing ghost trapping and “ghostbustability”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.allspark.com/2019/02/transformers-collaborative-line-debuts-with-ghostbusters-ectotron/ Ectotron product listing archived at Allspark.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Doctor Arkeville]] spent years personally constructing Nemesis Prime piece by stolen piece, hiding his handiwork from both [[Concurrence]] agents and the Decepticons. Designed to be the ultimate military commander, he had arguably the mightiest [[Binaltech]] Transformer body ever constructed, but it remained without a life-force. Dr. Arkeville planned to acquire one by tapping into an amazingly powerful extra-spatial source that the Autobot Translink Project had uncovered. It is unknown whether this final step ever came to fruition.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://tformers.com/article.php?sid=6142 Nemesis Prime&#039;s &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; bio.] This was not on the toy&#039;s packaging, but rather distributed online to Transformers news sites to promote the figure&#039;s availability at San Diego Comic-Con. It was later confirmed to be the work of [[Hasbro]] copywriter Forest Lee.{{fact}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|This is the only known &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]&#039;&#039; fiction, aside from a brief blurb on a promotional Mazda website for the &amp;quot;RX-8 Transformer&amp;quot; (which was later released as [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Alternators|Meister]]) that summarized the initial backstory of the first chapter of the &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; story. While it is clearly based on the &#039;&#039;[[Binaltech]]&#039;&#039; storyline, borrowing elements with no precedent in English-language canon, it differs from &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s &amp;quot;Black Convoy&amp;quot; bio in some details and may be considered a separate continuity. Also, since this bio was only made public through online retailers with access to Hasbro&#039;s promotional material library and [[Ben Yee]]&#039;s review of the Nemesis Prime toy, it&#039;s hard to say if the bio was ever actually &amp;quot;officially&amp;quot; released, even though release had been fully intended.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Story of Binaltech&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Dr. Arkeville, seeking to create an evil leader greater than [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], used a subspace impulse cloner to duplicate Optimus Prime (with a snazzy black-and-teal paint job). To this end, Arkeville twisted Prime&#039;s imported essence to evil with a rewriting program, but the clone still lacked life. He experimented with a subspace linkup to channel a life force, but the operation was interrupted: A time warp suddenly appeared and produced a [[Spark|mysterious orb]] which touched the clone body, causing the clone to both activate and vanish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, on [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]], the Autobots were enacting [[Operation: Distant Thunder]] to undo the changes that [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] had wrought upon the timeline. The Autobots had just send a drone into the past with the intent of restoring the correct timeline, expecting reality to change around them, returning to its proper state. Instead, the successful restoration of the correct flow of history caused their alternate timeline to become undone, as all of their reality was torn apart by warp holes. At that moment, Arkeville&#039;s clone appeared before them, extending his hands as an orb of light engulfed first the island, then the entire world. The warp holes were extinguished, and the clone announced that it had used the power of the spark that now inhabited it to preserve the &amp;quot;Binal-Time&amp;quot; that the Autobots inhabited. The Autobots continued questioning this &amp;quot;Black Optimus&amp;quot;, who explained that he was a spark who had been sent back in time from the distant future, referring to himself only as &amp;quot;the [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Protector]]&amp;quot;. His mission was to preserve the Binaltechs, as their existence would, in the future, bring about the [[Alternity]], a &amp;quot;great existence&amp;quot; involving beings who would ensure prosperity and protection across the multiverse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When these explanations were done, the clone&#039;s core AI suddenly asserted itself, and he began taunting the Autobots, even manifesting a Decepticon symbol on his body. Using what remained of the Protector&#039;s power, the clone rejected his foreign spark and formed a warp portal back to Arkeville&#039;s lab. Reduced to an automated state, the clone still was able to leap through the portal to its creator. There, the doctor initiated another subspace translink experiment, this one succeeding in connecting the clone to an ancient, evil, greedy life force. At last, Arkeville&#039;s creation became Nemesis Prime. {{storylink|Binal Time}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happened to Dr. Arkeville after that is unknown, but soon after activation, Nemesis Prime began to make his move. When Megatron&#039;s forces attacked the [[Earth Defense Command]] base on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], Nemesis Prime appeared to block any further progress by the Decepticon leader, refusing to let him dominate Earth&#039;s solar system, which Nemesis Prime desired for himself. Megatron was disgusted that an Earth-born machine would wear the Decepticon [[insignia]], but just as they were about to battle, across the galaxy, on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] accomplished his mission to activate the [[Quintesson]]-created [[Large switch|killswitch]], deactivating all non-Binaltech Transformers. Megatron was frozen, and Nemesis Prime calmly seized the opportunity to take power, ordering Shockwave to gather as many Decepticon bodies as possible. Seeing the logic in this order, Shockwave complied. Nemesis Prime sat on Megatron&#039;s throne and plotted future moves. {{storylink|Kill Switch}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeking to make himself a true match for Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime schemed to create an artificial [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] by using a device to wrench minds from their bodies and combine them in a crystalline storage unit. Attempting a test run in a human settlement in [[Australia]], Nemesis Prime was thwarted by a contingent of Autobots led by Optimus Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. The two Primes went one-on-one during the ensuing battle, but when Optimus was sent tumbling into a riverbank, the Protector&#039;s spark flew to his aid and fused with him, lending Prime its power. Supercharged by the power of the Protector&#039;s spark, Optimus absorbed Nemesis Prime&#039;s next attack and redirected it upon his dark twin, who was engulfed and finally destroyed as his body exploded into shards. {{storylink|Unfinished Business, Part 4}}&lt;br /&gt;

Nemesis Prime was the product of a mad plan by [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]], who put a lowly, unknown warrior through an excruciating rebuilding process, tortuously reforging him into the very image of Optimus Prime. Through forcible data uploads and brainwashing, the Decepticon was imbued with memories and skills culled from many sources, giving him much of Optimus Prime&#039;s knowledge and combat algorithms. This, however, cost him not just his sense of identity, but also any framework with which to process this knowledge. His creator having since perished, Nemesis Prime became a threat to all, skulking in the dark parts of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and targeting both Autobots and Decepticons in his murderous insanity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByBrand.htm?BR=496&amp;amp;amp;ST=SO&amp;amp;amp;ID=22380&amp;amp;amp;PG=1 &#039;&#039;Universe Classic Series&#039;&#039; Nemesis Prime&#039;s on-package bio]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Though marked as a Decepticon, the clone Nemesis Prime holds allegiance only to his creator, [[Unicron]]. His very nature is destruction. His only purpose is to return his master to life.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.soundwavesoblivion.com/toyarchive/masterpiece/mp10bblackconvoy.html Translation of MP-10B&#039;s toy bio]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Loyal Subjects figure bio===&lt;br /&gt;
Nemesis Prime took the form of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and went on a rampage bent on destroying whole worlds. It had no thoughts or allegiance to either Autobot or Decepticon and merely craved destruction. Its rampage threatened to upset the balance of power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At one point shortly before [[Christmas]] it attacked [[Santa Claus]]&#039;s village, utterly destroying it and incinerating the reindeer. It was challenged by {{w|The Elf on the Shelf|a teleporting elf}} who fought valiantly but was twisted into a scratch-back.

The Decepticons used it to turn Optimus Prime into Nemesis Prime, who turned the defense systems of the [[Spy Changer]]s&#039; base against them. {{storylink|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric (2), 2016/05/12}} Subsequently, however, Nemesis Prime made a play for leadership of the Decepticons, gaining the loyalty of [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and [[Crash Test (G1)|Crash Test]]. [[Wheeljack (G1)#The Battle for Planet Earth|Wheeljack]] mused that turning Optimus evil may not have been the Decepticons&#039; best idea. {{storylink|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric (2), 2016/05/19}}&lt;br /&gt;

Nemesis Prime was the result of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave&#039;s]] [[Cloning|cyber-cloning]] experiments. He was programmed with some of Optimus Prime&#039;s skills and memories, but he lacked the experience to actually &#039;&#039;process&#039;&#039; them, which caused him to go a bit nutty, dedicating himself to tearing down everything Optimus stood for. Upon his arrival through the space bridge, Nemesis immediately declared himself the enemy of life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Nemesis first arrived on earth, he promptly proclaimed who he was to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. He then tracked down Optimus Prime&#039;s location with the help of [[Luca]], and went to destroy the Autobot outpost, only to be thwarted by Hot Rod. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars| Light Our Darkest Hour event}}&lt;br /&gt;

His plastic colors are different from Nemesis Prime&#039;s, with grey plastic replacing the black on his shins, waist, shoulders and forearms. In addition, Nemesis Prime&#039;s windows are tinted red, but Black Convoy&#039;s windows are completely clear. His paint deco is based upon &#039;&#039;Kiss Players&#039;&#039; Convoy&#039;s, arranged in the same patterns but using teal, and he has vacuum-metallized wheels and front grill. The paint deco on his head is meant to evoke that of Car Robots [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]]. Perhaps the most important differences are that he has die-cast metal parts, and most of his truck body panels are coated in gloss black paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Perhaps due to cost-cutting, this toy was released in the large bubble-on-a-tray packaging also used in the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; line. However, he came with no character or packaging art.&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; MP-10B Black Convoy is a black redeco and minor [[retool]] of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]], in the typical black/grey/teal color scheme with red windows, and with a tampoed Decepticon [[insignia]] shoulder panel instead of the molded [[Autobot]] one, but lacking the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|trailer]], [[Roller (G1)#Masterpiece|Roller]], and the [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Spike Witwicky figure]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He transforms into a Freightliner FL86, and comes with a hand-held laser blaster which can collapse and store inside a compartment on his back in either mode, as well as a battle axe that slips over Black Convoy&#039;s right hand. His chest opens up to reveal the removable Dead Matrix, which is made of [[die-cast]] metal, and can be held by one of Black Convoy&#039;s hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:When purchased from sellers supplied by Hasbro Asia, Black Convoy came with a [[collector coin]], in a unique black metallic finish. The coin is mounted on a card resembling a dark-tinted Matrix which slides open laterally, like the Matrix itself, to reveal the coin inside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:TakaraTomy reissued this figure in December 2017.&lt;br /&gt;

: MP-49 Black Convoy is a [[Black repaint|black redeco]] and slight [[retool]] of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|MP-44 Convoy]], cast in the typical black/grey/teal color scheme with red windows, plus some more toy-based paint apps absent on Convoy. He omits many of the original figure&#039;s accessories (as well as the soundbox gimmick), keeping only the alternate character model head, Dark Matrix and Ion Blaster alongside the Energon axe and blast effects (which are now molded in clear teal plastic). The knee joints are different compared to the original release, modified in order to move smoothly, preventing the original knee breaking issue. Since this release has no voice chip, there’s a new piece with no holes in the backpack and the sound button parts have also been removed. This Black Convoy is the first &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure of the character with its own ID number rather than that of the original release with &amp;quot;B&amp;quot; appended. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:As part of the third wave of [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] [[Micro-Changer]]s, Nemesis Prime is a Kreon that can be rebuilt into a cabover-style semi truck. He unsurprisingly reuses all of [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s parts, including his helmet, gun, and smokestacks, but comes with extra parts to turn him into a truck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This Micro-Changer assortment was the last one to appear at [[Target]], with later waves showing up only at [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us|ToysЯUs]] or drug/discount stores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Nemesis can&#039;t seem to catch a break in the [[stock photography]] department. His promotional online shots show him with this headpiece turned around inside his helmet, showing only a flat gray plastic instead of red eyes. Meanwhile, his truck-mode picture on the front page of his [[instructions]] are lacking the red windscreen [[paint operation]]s. In both photo sets, his helmet is missing all of its silver paint.&lt;br /&gt;

:In 2017, the Collection 3 Micro-Changers were re-released in a whole new production run, first appearing at [[Walgreens]] stores in the US. These releases use the almost-entirely-[[retool]]ed 2015 Kreon (making most parts incompatible with older Kreons), with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. Nemesis Prime&#039;s [[tampograph]]s are slightly altered, changing the flat light gray to metallic silver... and losing all of the silver on his helmet, &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; the cab-brick&#039;s windows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.&lt;br /&gt;

:A redeco of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GenerationsLegends|&#039;&#039;Thrilling 30&#039;&#039; Legends Class Optimus Prime]], &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Nemesis Prime is about the size of a &#039;&#039;[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]&#039;&#039; Commander Class toy. He transforms from a generic cab-over truck into a robot based on Optimus Prime&#039;s appearance in [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]&#039;s [[The Transformers (IDW)|2009-2011 ongoing series]], and features [[5 mm post|5 mm-compatible]] hands and roof. He features teal paint on his hands, feet, knees, forehead, and even his mouthplate. (which is probably a nod to [[Nemesis Prime (Animated)|&#039;&#039;Animated&#039;&#039; Nemesis Prime]]&#039;s teal detailing.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He comes with [[Spinister (G1)#Generations|Spinister]], who can transform into a helicopter, a robot with [[C joint|3mm-compatible]] hands, and a weapon with a 5mm handle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Hasbro&#039;s original [[Stock photography|stock photo]] for the figure depicting a hand-painted prototype shows Nemesis with Optimus Prime&#039;s ion cannon, which the final toy does not include. That weapon is instead included with the [[wave]]-mate [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Suppressor|Cliffjumper]]/[[Suppressor (Generations)|Suppressor]] two-pack. The version of the photo featured on the back of the toy&#039;s packaging is massively edited (in addition to being shown as mirrored), with the weapon edited out and the rotor piece moved from Spinister&#039;s back to the hand that originally held the weapon. The stock photos also show a Decepticon insignia tampographed on his vehicle mode, which the final product didn&#039;t have.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Evolution Nemesis Prime&amp;quot; is an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]-exclusive retool of &#039;&#039;Power of the Primes&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|Optimus Prime]] with two new heads—the evolution one based on &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; [[Toxitron (G1)#Generations|Toxitron]]&#039;s (originally intended to be a &amp;quot;Nemesis Prime&amp;quot;)—as well as new weapons. He transforms from a truck with a trailer into a robot and back. The individual truck transforms into &#039;&#039;&#039;Nemesis Pax&#039;&#039;&#039; and is able to form the core of Nemesis Prime&#039;s robot mode, while the trailer forms Nemesis Prime&#039;s entire body. His [[ion blaster]] can be split into two weapons, or plug into Nemesis Pax&#039;s hand as shown in stock photography to serve as a shoulder-mounted cannon. He includes the Dark Matrix of Leadership, which can store in his chest in the &#039;Evolved&#039; form. The center of his Matrix can be replaced with any [[Prime Master]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He includes a pair of blasters that can be mounted on his forearms ([[Homage|homaging]] &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]&#039;&#039; [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]]) or on his trailer (in the fashion of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Optimus Prime]]) by flipping out a panel on each side of the trailer. He also comes with the Dark Saber and Giza, a robotic bird who transforms into a sword (in reference to the [[Giza (Prime)|Arms Micron partner]] of [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|&#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; Nemesis Prime]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unlike other &#039;&#039;Power of the Primes&#039;&#039; figures, Nemesis Prime does not include a collector card featuring a [[Prime Master/Combinations|Prime Master power description]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like his moldmate Optimus, Nemesis Prime is prone to having a small number of [[quality control]] issues. Depending on the individual copy, Nemesis Prime may have two left/right arms and/or legs/feet on the evolution armor, an unpainted face in Nemesis Pax mode, a missing Nemesis Pax head, or missing stickers on the trailer. It is also known for many copies to have weak or floppy ankles in combined robot mode, making standing difficult even on a properly assembled specimen. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]&#039;&#039; Nemesis Prime is (inevitably) a [[black repaint]] of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Voyager Class Optimus Prime mold]],  transforming from robot to short-smokestacked Cybertronian armored truck and back. He also comes with the [[Ion blaster]] (the only weapon for this release) compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], and the &amp;quot;Ancient Sword&amp;quot;, redecoed from the &#039;&#039;[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]&#039;&#039; [[Alpha Trion (G1)#Titans Return|Alpha Trion]] figure. Unlike most of the &#039;&#039;Siege&#039;&#039; brethren, Nemesis Prime is practically spotless, but retains multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate &amp;quot;Fire Blasts&amp;quot; from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In vehicle mode, opening the figure&#039;s windows shows the [[Matrix of Leadership]]-like panel molded into the plastic behind the windows. Due to the transformation, the Matrix doesn&#039;t end up in the chest in robot mode. Whether through coincidence or design, it&#039;s possible to fit a &#039;&#039;Power of the Primes&#039;&#039; Matrix core (and by extension, a [[Prime Master]] or [[Titan Master]]) in his chest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Nemesis Prime was released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive in Japan. He was also sold online through [[EB Games]] and Zing in Australia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Peculiarly, his packaging labels him as an Autobot and he reuses an unaltered version of Optimus Prime&#039;s artwork.&lt;br /&gt;

Fangtron and the Combat Deck ramp are both compatible with the [[A.I.R. Lock System]], as the former can turn into a ramp or a shield for Nemesis Prime. This toy also features a different deco compared to the above TakaraTomy Mall exclusive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Hasbro stock photography for the truck mode is also &#039;&#039;laughably&#039;&#039; mistransformed, with the robot mode crotch being plainly visible, an error that actually requires a considerable amount of effort to replicate with the actual toy. In addition, neither the truck windows or panels that cover the robot mode hands are compressed fully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This set is a shared exclusive between online retailers and [[Walmart]] in Canada and the USA.&lt;br /&gt;

His unpublished bio described a character much like the &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; version mentioned above, but without reference to Straxus or any type of origin story. As a redeco of a &#039;&#039;War Within&#039;&#039; toy, this Nemesis would presumably—but not necessarily—have been part of the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] [[Dreamwave Generation One continuity|comics continuity]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Generic decepticons marvel 1.jpg|thumb|You can tell I&#039;m important &#039;cause I&#039;m in color!]]&lt;br /&gt;
*A rather similar black redeco (allowing for 1980s Marvel coloring limitations) appeared leading the Decepticons&#039; charge onto the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; in [[The Transformers (issue)|the first Marvel U.S. issue]].&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Forest Lee|The author of Nemesis Prime&#039;s &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; bio]] has said that the &amp;quot;extra-spatial source&amp;quot; that Arkeville tapped into was actually a pocket dimension that served as [[Unicron]]&#039;s power battery—and that Unicron gave Arkeville exactly what he wanted, in the form of a [[spark]] fragment from Unicron&#039;s [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|own attempt at cloning an Optimus Prime]].{{fact}}&lt;br /&gt;
*Nemesis Prime&#039;s &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; bio seems directly inspired by the Marvel UK &amp;quot;[[Two Megatrons!]]&amp;quot; storyline, which revealed that Straxus had rebuilt a &amp;quot;[[Archforce|hapless trooper]]&amp;quot; into a Megatron clone, complete with copied brain patterns. Unlike Nemesis Prime, however, this clone became a repository for Straxus&#039;s consciousness after Straxus&#039;s botched attempt to invade the original Megatron&#039;s mind. &lt;br /&gt;
*According to [[Hasbro]] copy writer [[Forest Lee]], the reference to Straxus was included in Comic-Con 2008 Nemesis Prime&#039;s bio entirely to make [[David Willis]] happy.&lt;br /&gt;
*Stellar Converter Cannons are also weapons found on the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; [[Primus]] toy.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Loyal Subjects figure had 2 bios: a short version copied verbatim from the &#039;&#039;Armada&#039;&#039; [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]] article and a longer original write-up that includes a bizarre Christmas-themed rampage.&lt;br /&gt;
*The &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Black Convoy toy is used to represent a Decepticon truck transporting [[Megatron (G1)|GT-R Megatron]] to a race in the [[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (story page)|&#039;&#039;Transformers GT&#039;&#039; story pages]], though there is no indication it&#039;s actually him.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Fun Publications]] scrapped preliminary plans to do a &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; Nemesis Prime toy because TakaraTomy effectively did so with [[Grand Scourge#Unite Warriors|&#039;&#039;Unite Warriors&#039;&#039; Grand Scourge]]. Thus the Club release of [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|&#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039; Motormaster]]&#039;s alternate &amp;quot;pretooled&amp;quot; head went to [[Toxitron (G1)#Generations|Toxitron]] instead.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/127659-future-of-unite-warriors-from-figure-king/page-2#entry3212769 Post by Powered Convoy on The Allspark Forums, 2016/04/22]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:FireintheSky Skyfires magicAutobotsymbol.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]&lt;br /&gt;
One of the universals across all Transformers continuities has been the use of &#039;&#039;&#039;insignia&#039;&#039;&#039; to differentiate members of respective armies, and sometimes sub-factions within armies or even individuals. This was sometimes used as a tactical advantage when Transformers would temporarily wear the symbol of the opposite faction to fool their opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] switched sides, tearing the Decepticon insignia off of his chest and installing an Autobot insignia. {{storylink|Fire in the Sky}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]] reawakened the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s and told them to go help their friends. They reluctantly agreed and flew off after them. When they arrived, they initially could not distinguish friend from foe, until [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] suggested that their friends might be the ones with the same robotic face on them as they had. {{storylink|S.O.S. Dinobots}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mirage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Mirage]] once stole [[Skywarp (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Skywarp]]&#039;s insignia as part of a successful plan to turn the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] against the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Traitor (episode)|Traitor}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====Marvel &#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
{{noteukonly}}&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Slag (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Slag]] was revived by [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ratchet]] after being trapped in a tar pit for four million years, he went into a frenzy and attacked him, until he saw Ratchet&#039;s Autobrand and calmed down. {{storylink|Repeat Performance!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MarvelUS14-Jetfire-RiteOfTheAutobrand.jpg|thumb|Die cast construction...]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Ironhide (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ironhide]] was uncomfortable taking orders from [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], who was still wearing a Decepticon insignia.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt!}} Jetfire officially became an Autobot after going through the [[Rite of the Autobrand]]. To better disguise themselves on Earth, [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Wheeljack]] installed [[Circuit (circuit)|shielding circuitry]] into the Autobots which enabled a metal sheet to cover their Autobot symbols in [[alternate mode]]. {{storylink|Rock and Roll-Out!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] fooled [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] into thinking they were Autobots by wearing fake Autobot symbols. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}} The [[Sports Car Patrol]] tricked Ratchet into thinking they were Autobots by wearing counterfeit Autobot symbols—Decepticon and Autobot symbols on a rotating plate so they could switch back and forth. {{storylink|Back from the Dead}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron spent some time on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]&#039;s [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]] district as an [[Empty]]. His mind was damaged and he just wandered about the place until the sight of an Autobot wearing an Autobot symbol snapped him out of it. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Springer carnivac catilla insignia survivors.jpg|thumb|left|...it&#039;s a lost art.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;United into a [[Survivors|single team]] following the events of the [[Time Wars]] and by battling the nightmare creatures generated by [[Skids (G1)|Skids]]&#039;s time in [[Limbo]], [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] offered to make [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] and [[Catilla (G1)|Catilla]] [[Honorary Autobot]]s, passing them a pair of Autobot badges as he did so.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Survivors!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] surrendered to the Decepticons, he laid an Autobot insignia at [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]&#039;s feet. Scorponok promptly crushed it. {{storylink|Surrender!}} After the Autobots and Decepticons came together to fight [[Unicron]], they continued their uneasy alliance and adorned their headquarters with an insignia that included a slightly modified Decepticon sign atop a slightly modified Autobot sign. {{storylink|Still Life!}} [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] and [[Darkwing (G1)|Darkwing]] were outside in Cybertron&#039;s increasingly bad weather discussing the planet&#039;s upcoming self-destruction when the wind blew the gigantic Autobot insignia off the wall and onto Dreadwind&#039;s head. {{storylink|Exodus!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Marvel &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots had at some point begun using a new insignia that resembled Optimus Prime rather than the [[Last Autobot]]. [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]&#039;s Decepticons were also using a new symbol, similar to their old one, that coincidentally resembled the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]] insignia closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]&#039;s Maximal insignia once morphed into a Predacon one (and later back again). No other Transformer showed they could do this, and he only used it for a con. {{storylink|Double Jeopardy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the [[Transmuter (BW)|Transmuter]] turned [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] into a Predacon, it automatically changed his insignia as well as giving him a [[redeco]]. {{storylink|Dark Designs}} Likewise, [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] gained Decepticon insignia while he was possessed by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Possession}} [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] sported both a Decepticon and Predacon insignia while working as a Predacon secret agent. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part 1)}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waspinator &#039;&#039;pulled his insignia off&#039;&#039; like it was a fabric patch when renouncing his Predacon membership. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] has such an ego, he created [[:File:OptimalSituation Tarantulas insignia.jpg|his &#039;&#039;own&#039;&#039; special insignia]] for his [[Arachnoid]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Unicron Trilogy===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] could change his insignia from Autobot to Decepticon—an ability he utilised for deceptive purposes. {{storylink|Credulous}} {{storylink|Ship}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the power of [[Unicron]], [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]] had the ability to brainwash Transformers to the Decepticon cause. In [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]]&#039;s case, it changed his insignia from Autobot to Decepticon. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}} When Inferno fought against Megatron&#039;s influence through his willpower, his insignia would toggle back and forth until he succeeded in purging the Decepticon in him. His Autobot insignia looked brand new after that. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Pyro streetwise insignia g2 redux.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating [[Clench (G1)|Clench]]&#039;s Decepticons at the [[Large Hadron Collider]] in [[Switzerland]], [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] decided that he would have the rest of the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s transferred to serve on [[Earth]]. To make it official, [[Pyro (G1)|Pyro]] handed him a set of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; Autobot badges. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
The first five Transformers, the [[Guiding Hand]], each had their own personal insignia. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} When the [[Knights of Cybertron]] left the planet, they marched beneath the banner of [[Adaptus]]. As a result of the [[information creep]] unleashed following the [[God War]], the symbols of the other four members would later be conflated as having belonged to other clans of the Knights. {{storylink|An Axe to Break the Ice}} {{storylink|The Ties That Bind}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the primitive age that followed the departure of Knights, the [[Thirteen]] came to power. One of their number, the bestial [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]] marked the occasion by commissioning, the &amp;quot;First Face&amp;quot;, supposedly based of [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]]&#039;s description of [[Primus]]&#039;s likeness, but in reality, one of the many ontological paradoxes he had dedicated himself to invoking. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The First Face was, up until the outbreak of the war, considered the closest thing Cybertron had to a universal symbol, held in high regard by the [[High Priests of K&#039;th Kinsere]], the Ignition Cults and the Circuit Sects. Whenever the Cybertronian race was moved by significant unrest, the face would appear, often designed in subtle ways that historians would use to mark the transition from one epoch to the next. During [[Zeta Prime]]&#039;s rule as Prime, the symbol was co-opted for the nascent Autobot faction. {{storylink|Omega&#039;s Conundrum}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticon insignia came about after [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] hurled his datapad at a random screen and decided he liked the shatter pattern. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other insignia were recognized by Cybertronian society, such as the distinctive [[Facial hair|facial insignia]] worn by members of the [[House]] of Ambus. {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ambus}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as he took on the moniker of the &amp;quot;Grand Architect&amp;quot;, Adaptus continued to utilize his insignia, having his troops branded with it. {{storylink|Animals}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} In their quest for the Knights of Cybertron, the &#039;&#039;[[Lost Light]]&#039;&#039; crew repeatedly encountered the emblem but failed to connect it to Adaptus until they confronted him whereupon he claimed ownership of it. {{storylink|Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|This Calamitous Life}} {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}} {{storylink|The Not Knowing}} {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}} {{storylink|An Axe to Break the Ice}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Wars: Uprising===&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath of [[Maxima]]&#039;s death, numerous proto-formers began using a stylized image of her [[Luponoid]] steed as the insignia of the burgeoning Maximal faction. {{storylink|The Predacon Manifesto}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Galva Convoy]] made it clear he was no longer obeying the Builder Assembly, Knock Out noted he bored a different insignia from the Maximal one he&#039;d had previously, one representing the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]]. {{storylink|Derailment}}&lt;br /&gt;

![[File:Symbol autobot reg.png|250px|Autobot insignia]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Autobot]]&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;It seems likely that in the real world, the Autobot symbol was derived from a stylized drawing of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s toy&#039;s head. In the Marvel Comics continuity, it was known as the &amp;quot;Autobrand&amp;quot; (a name that carries over into the IDW continuity) and was seemingly based on the face of the [[Last Autobot]]. In the original animated series, it was a mark of the [[Quintesson]] slave brand.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
![[File:Symbol decept reg.png|236px|Decepticon insignia]] &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Decepticon]]&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;It seems likely that in the real world, the Decepticon symbol was derived from a stylized drawing of [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]&#039;s toy&#039;s head. It has no given origin in the G1 cartoon, but it presumably has similar roots to the Autobot symbol.  In the IDW continuity, the symbol was inspired by a pattern left in a pane of glass which [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] smashed with a datapad in a fit of frustration, while in the process of starting the Decepticon movement. {{storylink|Chaos Theory #1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that the downward-facing point on the base of the central crest was unusual in the 1980s, where the original toy crest ([[#The Great War|see below]]) had ended in a blunt base, which the cartoon also generally used, though with a third point at the top. IDW have generally (though not universally) revived that version in the comics and reference books published by them, as seen on the [[:File:TDOOP cvrRIB.jpg|RI-B cover of their &#039;&#039;Death of Optimus Prime&#039;&#039; one-shot.]]&lt;br /&gt;

==Live-action film franchise==&lt;br /&gt;
===2007 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;For the 2007 movie, the Autobot and Decepticon factions were rendered in steely gray. Additionally, the Autobot and Decepticons were strongly associated with the colors blue and red, which led to the Autobot symbol appearing in blue in multiple media. Nonetheless the &#039;official colors&#039; of said symbols remains red and purple.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Live action Autobot insignia.png|&#039;&#039;&#039;Autobot&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;The biggest change is that the tops of the eye sockets, horizontal in the G1 symbol, tip down towards the middle in the Movie symbol. There are other minor differences in proportions and angles.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Movie Autobot.JPG|&#039;&#039;The movie Autobot symbol as it appeared in various promotional material. The beveled edges and metal appearance as opposed to the normal stencil-like insignia is reminiscent of the original insignias as they appeared on the G1 toy packaging.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Live action Decepticon insignia.png|&#039;&#039;&#039;Decepticon&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;The G1 symbol has triangular eyes, as opposed to the skinny diamond eyes in the Movie symbol. Again, there are other minor differences. Perhaps most interesting in this continuity, is that the Decepticon symbol is based upon the face of [[The Fallen]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:FireintheSky Skyfires magicAutobotsymbol.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]&lt;br /&gt;
One of the universals across all Transformers continuities has been the use of &#039;&#039;&#039;insignia&#039;&#039;&#039; to differentiate members of respective armies, and sometimes sub-factions within armies or even individuals. This was sometimes used as a tactical advantage when Transformers would temporarily wear the symbol of the opposite faction to fool their opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] switched sides, tearing the Decepticon insignia off of his chest and installing an Autobot insignia. {{storylink|Fire in the Sky}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]] reawakened the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s and told them to go help their friends. They reluctantly agreed and flew off after them. When they arrived, they initially could not distinguish friend from foe, until [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] suggested that their friends might be the ones with the same robotic face on them as they had. {{storylink|S.O.S. Dinobots}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mirage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Mirage]] once stole [[Skywarp (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Skywarp]]&#039;s insignia as part of a successful plan to turn the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] against the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Traitor (episode)|Traitor}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====Marvel &#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
{{noteukonly}}&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Slag (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Slag]] was revived by [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ratchet]] after being trapped in a tar pit for four million years, he went into a frenzy and attacked him, until he saw Ratchet&#039;s Autobrand and calmed down. {{storylink|Repeat Performance!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MarvelUS14-Jetfire-RiteOfTheAutobrand.jpg|thumb|Die cast construction...]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Ironhide (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ironhide]] was uncomfortable taking orders from [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], who was still wearing a Decepticon insignia.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt!}} Jetfire officially became an Autobot after going through the [[Rite of the Autobrand]]. To better disguise themselves on Earth, [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Wheeljack]] installed [[Circuit (circuit)|shielding circuitry]] into the Autobots which enabled a metal sheet to cover their Autobot symbols in [[alternate mode]]. {{storylink|Rock and Roll-Out!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] fooled [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] into thinking they were Autobots by wearing fake Autobot symbols. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}} The [[Sports Car Patrol]] tricked Ratchet into thinking they were Autobots by wearing counterfeit Autobot symbols—Decepticon and Autobot symbols on a rotating plate so they could switch back and forth. {{storylink|Back from the Dead}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron spent some time on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]&#039;s [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]] district as an [[Empty]]. His mind was damaged and he just wandered about the place until the sight of an Autobot wearing an Autobot symbol snapped him out of it. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Springer carnivac catilla insignia survivors.jpg|thumb|left|...it&#039;s a lost art.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;United into a [[Survivors|single team]] following the events of the [[Time Wars]] and by battling the nightmare creatures generated by [[Skids (G1)|Skids]]&#039;s time in [[Limbo]], [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] offered to make [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] and [[Catilla (G1)|Catilla]] [[Honorary Autobot]]s, passing them a pair of Autobot badges as he did so.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Survivors!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] surrendered to the Decepticons, he laid an Autobot insignia at [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]&#039;s feet. Scorponok promptly crushed it. {{storylink|Surrender!}} After the Autobots and Decepticons came together to fight [[Unicron]], they continued their uneasy alliance and adorned their headquarters with an insignia that included a slightly modified Decepticon sign atop a slightly modified Autobot sign. {{storylink|Still Life!}} [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] and [[Darkwing (G1)|Darkwing]] were outside in Cybertron&#039;s increasingly bad weather discussing the planet&#039;s upcoming self-destruction when the wind blew the gigantic Autobot insignia off the wall and onto Dreadwind&#039;s head. {{storylink|Exodus!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Marvel &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots had at some point begun using a new insignia that resembled Optimus Prime rather than the [[Last Autobot]]. [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]&#039;s Decepticons were also using a new symbol, similar to their old one, that coincidentally resembled the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]] insignia closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]&#039;s Maximal insignia once morphed into a Predacon one (and later back again). No other Transformer showed they could do this, and he only used it for a con. {{storylink|Double Jeopardy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the [[Transmuter (BW)|Transmuter]] turned [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] into a Predacon, it automatically changed his insignia as well as giving him a [[redeco]]. {{storylink|Dark Designs}} Likewise, [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] gained Decepticon insignia while he was possessed by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Possession}} [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] sported both a Decepticon and Predacon insignia while working as a Predacon secret agent. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part 1)}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waspinator &#039;&#039;pulled his insignia off&#039;&#039; like it was a fabric patch when renouncing his Predacon membership. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] has such an ego, he created [[:File:OptimalSituation Tarantulas insignia.jpg|his &#039;&#039;own&#039;&#039; special insignia]] for his [[Arachnoid]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Unicron Trilogy===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] could change his insignia from Autobot to Decepticon—an ability he utilised for deceptive purposes. {{storylink|Credulous}} {{storylink|Ship}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the power of [[Unicron]], [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]] had the ability to brainwash Transformers to the Decepticon cause. In [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]]&#039;s case, it changed his insignia from Autobot to Decepticon. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}} When Inferno fought against Megatron&#039;s influence through his willpower, his insignia would toggle back and forth until he succeeded in purging the Decepticon in him. His Autobot insignia looked brand new after that. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Wings Universe&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Wingsnote}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Pyro streetwise insignia g2 redux.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating [[Clench (G1)|Clench]]&#039;s Decepticons at the [[Large Hadron Collider]] in [[Switzerland]], [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] decided that he would have the rest of the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s transferred to serve on [[Earth]]. To make it official, [[Pyro (G1)|Pyro]] handed him a set of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; Autobot badges. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
The first five Transformers, the [[Guiding Hand]], each had their own personal insignia. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} When the [[Knights of Cybertron]] left the planet, they marched beneath the banner of [[Adaptus]]. As a result of the [[information creep]] unleashed following the [[God War]], the symbols of the other four members would later be conflated as having belonged to other clans of the Knights. {{storylink|An Axe to Break the Ice}} {{storylink|The Ties That Bind}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the primitive age that followed the departure of Knights, the [[Thirteen]] came to power. One of their number, the bestial [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]] marked the occasion by commissioning, the &amp;quot;First Face&amp;quot;, supposedly based of [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]]&#039;s description of [[Primus]]&#039;s likeness, but in reality, one of the many ontological paradoxes he had dedicated himself to invoking. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The First Face was, up until the outbreak of the war, considered the closest thing Cybertron had to a universal symbol, held in high regard by the [[High Priests of K&#039;th Kinsere]], the Ignition Cults and the Circuit Sects. Whenever the Cybertronian race was moved by significant unrest, the face would appear, often designed in subtle ways that historians would use to mark the transition from one epoch to the next. During [[Zeta Prime]]&#039;s rule as Prime, the symbol was co-opted for the nascent Autobot faction. {{storylink|Omega&#039;s Conundrum}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticon insignia came about after [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] hurled his datapad at a random screen and decided he liked the shatter pattern. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other insignia were recognized by Cybertronian society, such as the distinctive [[Facial hair|facial insignia]] worn by members of the [[House]] of Ambus. {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ambus}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as he took on the moniker of the &amp;quot;Grand Architect&amp;quot;, Adaptus continued to utilize his insignia, having his troops branded with it. {{storylink|Animals}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} In their quest for the Knights of Cybertron, the &#039;&#039;[[Lost Light]]&#039;&#039; crew repeatedly encountered the emblem but failed to connect it to Adaptus until they confronted him whereupon he claimed ownership of it. {{storylink|Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|This Calamitous Life}} {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}} {{storylink|The Not Knowing}} {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}} {{storylink|An Axe to Break the Ice}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Wars: Uprising===&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath of [[Maxima]]&#039;s death, numerous proto-formers began using a stylized image of her [[Luponoid]] steed as the insignia of the burgeoning Maximal faction. {{storylink|The Predacon Manifesto}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Galva Convoy]] made it clear he was no longer obeying the Builder Assembly, Knock Out noted he bored a different insignia from the Maximal one he&#039;d had previously, one representing the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]]. {{storylink|Derailment}}&lt;br /&gt;

![[File:Symbol autobot reg.png|250px|Autobot insignia]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Autobot]]&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;It seems likely that in the real world, the Autobot symbol was derived from a stylized drawing of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s toy&#039;s head. In the Marvel Comics continuity, it was known as the &amp;quot;Autobrand&amp;quot; (a name that carries over into the IDW continuity) and was seemingly based on the face of the [[Last Autobot]]. In the original animated series, it was a mark of the [[Quintesson]] slave brand.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
![[File:Symbol decept reg.png|236px|Decepticon insignia]] &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Decepticon]]&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;It seems likely that in the real world, the Decepticon symbol was derived from a stylized drawing of [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]&#039;s toy&#039;s head. It has no given origin in the G1 cartoon, but it presumably has similar roots to the Autobot symbol.  In the IDW continuity, the symbol was inspired by a pattern left in a pane of glass which [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] smashed with a datapad in a fit of frustration, while in the process of starting the Decepticon movement. {{storylink|Chaos Theory #1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that the downward-facing point on the base of the central crest was unusual in the 1980s, where the original toy crest ([[#The Great War|see below]]) had ended in a blunt base, which the cartoon also generally used, though with a third point at the top. IDW have generally (though not universally) revived that version in the comics and reference books published by them, as seen on the [[:File:TDOOP cvrRIB.jpg|RI-B cover of their &#039;&#039;Death of Optimus Prime&#039;&#039; one-shot.]]&lt;br /&gt;

Bludgeon&#039;s Decepticons adopted this symbol around 1991, apparently unaware it was also being used by the Cybertronian Empire that they would soon encounter.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

==Live-action film franchise==&lt;br /&gt;
===2007 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;For the 2007 movie, the Autobot and Decepticon factions were rendered in steely gray. Additionally, the Autobot and Decepticons were strongly associated with the colors blue and red, which led to the Autobot symbol appearing in blue in multiple media. Nonetheless the &#039;official colors&#039; of said symbols remains red and purple.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Live action Autobot insignia.png|&#039;&#039;&#039;Autobot&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;The biggest change is that the tops of the eye sockets, horizontal in the G1 symbol, tip down towards the middle in the Movie symbol. There are other minor differences in proportions and angles.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Movie Autobot.JPG|&#039;&#039;The movie Autobot symbol as it appeared in various promotional material. The beveled edges and metal appearance as opposed to the normal stencil-like insignia is reminiscent of the original insignias as they appeared on the G1 toy packaging.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Live action Decepticon insignia.png|&#039;&#039;&#039;Decepticon&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;The G1 symbol has triangular eyes, as opposed to the skinny diamond eyes in the Movie symbol. Again, there are other minor differences. Perhaps most interesting in this continuity, is that the Decepticon symbol is based upon the face of [[The Fallen]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:FireintheSky Skyfires magicAutobotsymbol.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]&lt;br /&gt;
One of the universals across all Transformers continuities has been the use of &#039;&#039;&#039;insignia&#039;&#039;&#039; to differentiate members of respective armies, and sometimes sub-factions within armies or even individuals. This was sometimes used as a tactical advantage when Transformers would temporarily wear the symbol of the opposite faction to fool their opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] switched sides, tearing the Decepticon insignia off of his chest and installing an Autobot insignia. {{storylink|Fire in the Sky}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]] reawakened the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s and told them to go help their friends. They reluctantly agreed and flew off after them. When they arrived, they initially could not distinguish friend from foe, until [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] suggested that their friends might be the ones with the same robotic face on them as they had. {{storylink|S.O.S. Dinobots}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mirage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Mirage]] once stole [[Skywarp (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Skywarp]]&#039;s insignia as part of a successful plan to turn the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] against the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Traitor (episode)|Traitor}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====Marvel &#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
{{noteukonly}}&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Slag (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Slag]] was revived by [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ratchet]] after being trapped in a tar pit for four million years, he went into a frenzy and attacked him, until he saw Ratchet&#039;s Autobrand and calmed down. {{storylink|Repeat Performance!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MarvelUS14-Jetfire-RiteOfTheAutobrand.jpg|thumb|Die cast construction...]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Ironhide (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ironhide]] was uncomfortable taking orders from [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], who was still wearing a Decepticon insignia.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt!}} Jetfire officially became an Autobot after going through the [[Rite of the Autobrand]]. To better disguise themselves on Earth, [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Wheeljack]] installed [[Circuit (circuit)|shielding circuitry]] into the Autobots which enabled a metal sheet to cover their Autobot symbols in [[alternate mode]]. {{storylink|Rock and Roll-Out!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] fooled [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] into thinking they were Autobots by wearing fake Autobot symbols. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}} The [[Sports Car Patrol]] tricked Ratchet into thinking they were Autobots by wearing counterfeit Autobot symbols—Decepticon and Autobot symbols on a rotating plate so they could switch back and forth. {{storylink|Back from the Dead}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron spent some time on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]&#039;s [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]] district as an [[Empty]]. His mind was damaged and he just wandered about the place until the sight of an Autobot wearing an Autobot symbol snapped him out of it. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Springer carnivac catilla insignia survivors.jpg|thumb|left|...it&#039;s a lost art.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;United into a [[Survivors|single team]] following the events of the [[Time Wars]] and by battling the nightmare creatures generated by [[Skids (G1)|Skids]]&#039;s time in [[Limbo]], [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] offered to make [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] and [[Catilla (G1)|Catilla]] [[Honorary Autobot]]s, passing them a pair of Autobot badges as he did so.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Survivors!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] surrendered to the Decepticons, he laid an Autobot insignia at [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]&#039;s feet. Scorponok promptly crushed it. {{storylink|Surrender!}} After the Autobots and Decepticons came together to fight [[Unicron]], they continued their uneasy alliance and adorned their headquarters with an insignia that included a slightly modified Decepticon sign atop a slightly modified Autobot sign. {{storylink|Still Life!}} [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] and [[Darkwing (G1)|Darkwing]] were outside in Cybertron&#039;s increasingly bad weather discussing the planet&#039;s upcoming self-destruction when the wind blew the gigantic Autobot insignia off the wall and onto Dreadwind&#039;s head. {{storylink|Exodus!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Marvel &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots had at some point begun using a new insignia that resembled Optimus Prime rather than the [[Last Autobot]]. [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]&#039;s Decepticons were also using a new symbol, similar to their old one, that coincidentally resembled the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]] insignia closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]&#039;s Maximal insignia once morphed into a Predacon one (and later back again). No other Transformer showed they could do this, and he only used it for a con. {{storylink|Double Jeopardy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the [[Transmuter (BW)|Transmuter]] turned [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] into a Predacon, it automatically changed his insignia as well as giving him a [[redeco]]. {{storylink|Dark Designs}} Likewise, [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] gained Decepticon insignia while he was possessed by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Possession}} [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] sported both a Decepticon and Predacon insignia while working as a Predacon secret agent. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part 1)}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waspinator &#039;&#039;pulled his insignia off&#039;&#039; like it was a fabric patch when renouncing his Predacon membership. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] has such an ego, he created [[:File:OptimalSituation Tarantulas insignia.jpg|his &#039;&#039;own&#039;&#039; special insignia]] for his [[Arachnoid]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Unicron Trilogy===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] could change his insignia from Autobot to Decepticon—an ability he utilised for deceptive purposes. {{storylink|Credulous}} {{storylink|Ship}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the power of [[Unicron]], [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]] had the ability to brainwash Transformers to the Decepticon cause. In [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]]&#039;s case, it changed his insignia from Autobot to Decepticon. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}} When Inferno fought against Megatron&#039;s influence through his willpower, his insignia would toggle back and forth until he succeeded in purging the Decepticon in him. His Autobot insignia looked brand new after that. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Wings Universe&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Pyro streetwise insignia g2 redux.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating [[Clench (G1)|Clench]]&#039;s Decepticons at the [[Large Hadron Collider]] in [[Switzerland]], [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] decided that he would have the rest of the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s transferred to serve on [[Earth]]. To make it official, [[Pyro (G1)|Pyro]] handed him a set of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; Autobot badges. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
The first five Transformers, the [[Guiding Hand]], each had their own personal insignia. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} When the [[Knights of Cybertron]] left the planet, they marched beneath the banner of [[Adaptus]]. As a result of the [[information creep]] unleashed following the [[God War]], the symbols of the other four members would later be conflated as having belonged to other clans of the Knights. {{storylink|An Axe to Break the Ice}} {{storylink|The Ties That Bind}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the primitive age that followed the departure of Knights, the [[Thirteen]] came to power. One of their number, the bestial [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]] marked the occasion by commissioning, the &amp;quot;First Face&amp;quot;, supposedly based of [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]]&#039;s description of [[Primus]]&#039;s likeness, but in reality, one of the many ontological paradoxes he had dedicated himself to invoking. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The First Face was, up until the outbreak of the war, considered the closest thing Cybertron had to a universal symbol, held in high regard by the [[High Priests of K&#039;th Kinsere]], the Ignition Cults and the Circuit Sects. Whenever the Cybertronian race was moved by significant unrest, the face would appear, often designed in subtle ways that historians would use to mark the transition from one epoch to the next. During [[Zeta Prime]]&#039;s rule as Prime, the symbol was co-opted for the nascent Autobot faction. {{storylink|Omega&#039;s Conundrum}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticon insignia came about after [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] hurled his datapad at a random screen and decided he liked the shatter pattern. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other insignia were recognized by Cybertronian society, such as the distinctive [[Facial hair|facial insignia]] worn by members of the [[House]] of Ambus. {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ambus}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as he took on the moniker of the &amp;quot;Grand Architect&amp;quot;, Adaptus continued to utilize his insignia, having his troops branded with it. {{storylink|Animals}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} In their quest for the Knights of Cybertron, the &#039;&#039;[[Lost Light]]&#039;&#039; crew repeatedly encountered the emblem but failed to connect it to Adaptus until they confronted him whereupon he claimed ownership of it. {{storylink|Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|This Calamitous Life}} {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}} {{storylink|The Not Knowing}} {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}} {{storylink|An Axe to Break the Ice}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Wars: Uprising===&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath of [[Maxima]]&#039;s death, numerous proto-formers began using a stylized image of her [[Luponoid]] steed as the insignia of the burgeoning Maximal faction. {{storylink|The Predacon Manifesto}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Galva Convoy]] made it clear he was no longer obeying the Builder Assembly, Knock Out noted he bored a different insignia from the Maximal one he&#039;d had previously, one representing the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]]. {{storylink|Derailment}}&lt;br /&gt;

![[File:Symbol autobot reg.png|250px|Autobot insignia]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Autobot]]&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;It seems likely that in the real world, the Autobot symbol was derived from a stylized drawing of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s toy&#039;s head. In the Marvel Comics continuity, it was known as the &amp;quot;Autobrand&amp;quot; (a name that carries over into the IDW continuity) and was seemingly based on the face of the [[Last Autobot]]. In the original animated series, it was a mark of the [[Quintesson]] slave brand.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
![[File:Symbol decept reg.png|236px|Decepticon insignia]] &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Decepticon]]&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;It seems likely that in the real world, the Decepticon symbol was derived from a stylized drawing of [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]&#039;s toy&#039;s head. It has no given origin in the G1 cartoon, but it presumably has similar roots to the Autobot symbol.  In the IDW continuity, the symbol was inspired by a pattern left in a pane of glass which [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] smashed with a datapad in a fit of frustration, while in the process of starting the Decepticon movement. {{storylink|Chaos Theory #1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that the downward-facing point on the base of the central crest was unusual in the 1980s, where the original toy crest ([[#The Great War|see below]]) had ended in a blunt base, which the cartoon also generally used, though with a third point at the top. IDW have generally (though not universally) revived that version in the comics and reference books published by them, as seen on the [[:File:TDOOP cvrRIB.jpg|RI-B cover of their &#039;&#039;Death of Optimus Prime&#039;&#039; one-shot.]]&lt;br /&gt;

==Live-action film franchise==&lt;br /&gt;
===2007 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; film===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;For the 2007 movie, the Autobot and Decepticon factions were rendered in steely gray. Additionally, the Autobot and Decepticons were strongly associated with the colors blue and red, which led to the Autobot symbol appearing in blue in multiple media. Nonetheless the &#039;official colors&#039; of said symbols remains red and purple.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Live action Autobot insignia.png|&#039;&#039;&#039;Autobot&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;The biggest change is that the tops of the eye sockets, horizontal in the G1 symbol, tip down towards the middle in the Movie symbol. There are other minor differences in proportions and angles.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Movie Autobot.JPG|&#039;&#039;The movie Autobot symbol as it appeared in various promotional material. The beveled edges and metal appearance as opposed to the normal stencil-like insignia is reminiscent of the original insignias as they appeared on the G1 toy packaging.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Live action Decepticon insignia.png|&#039;&#039;&#039;Decepticon&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;The G1 symbol has triangular eyes, as opposed to the skinny diamond eyes in the Movie symbol. Again, there are other minor differences. Perhaps most interesting in this continuity, is that the Decepticon symbol is based upon the face of [[The Fallen]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:FireintheSky Skyfires magicAutobotsymbol.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]&lt;br /&gt;
One of the universals across all Transformers continuities has been the use of &#039;&#039;&#039;insignia&#039;&#039;&#039; to differentiate members of respective armies, and sometimes sub-factions within armies or even individuals. This was sometimes used as a tactical advantage when Transformers would temporarily wear the symbol of the opposite faction to fool their opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] switched sides, tearing the Decepticon insignia off of his chest and installing an Autobot insignia. {{storylink|Fire in the Sky}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]] reawakened the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s and told them to go help their friends. They reluctantly agreed and flew off after them. When they arrived, they initially could not distinguish friend from foe, until [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] suggested that their friends might be the ones with the same robotic face on them as they had. {{storylink|S.O.S. Dinobots}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mirage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Mirage]] once stole [[Skywarp (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Skywarp]]&#039;s insignia as part of a successful plan to turn the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] against the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Traitor (episode)|Traitor}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Marvel Comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====Marvel &#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
{{noteukonly}}&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Slag (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Slag]] was revived by [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ratchet]] after being trapped in a tar pit for four million years, he went into a frenzy and attacked him, until he saw Ratchet&#039;s Autobrand and calmed down. {{storylink|Repeat Performance!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MarvelUS14-Jetfire-RiteOfTheAutobrand.jpg|thumb|Die cast construction...]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Ironhide (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ironhide]] was uncomfortable taking orders from [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], who was still wearing a Decepticon insignia.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt!}} Jetfire officially became an Autobot after going through the [[Rite of the Autobrand]]. To better disguise themselves on Earth, [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Wheeljack]] installed [[Circuit (circuit)|shielding circuitry]] into the Autobots which enabled a metal sheet to cover their Autobot symbols in [[alternate mode]]. {{storylink|Rock and Roll-Out!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] fooled [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] into thinking they were Autobots by wearing fake Autobot symbols. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}} The [[Sports Car Patrol]] tricked Ratchet into thinking they were Autobots by wearing counterfeit Autobot symbols—Decepticon and Autobot symbols on a rotating plate so they could switch back and forth. {{storylink|Back from the Dead}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Megatron spent some time on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]&#039;s [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]] district as an [[Empty]]. His mind was damaged and he just wandered about the place until the sight of an Autobot wearing an Autobot symbol snapped him out of it. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Springer carnivac catilla insignia survivors.jpg|thumb|left|...it&#039;s a lost art.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;United into a [[Survivors|single team]] following the events of the [[Time Wars]] and by battling the nightmare creatures generated by [[Skids (G1)|Skids]]&#039;s time in [[Limbo]], [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] offered to make [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] and [[Catilla (G1)|Catilla]] [[Honorary Autobot]]s, passing them a pair of Autobot badges as he did so.&#039;&#039; {{storylink|Survivors!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] surrendered to the Decepticons, he laid an Autobot insignia at [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]&#039;s feet. Scorponok promptly crushed it. {{storylink|Surrender!}} After the Autobots and Decepticons came together to fight [[Unicron]], they continued their uneasy alliance and adorned their headquarters with an insignia that included a slightly modified Decepticon sign atop a slightly modified Autobot sign. {{storylink|Still Life!}} [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] and [[Darkwing (G1)|Darkwing]] were outside in Cybertron&#039;s increasingly bad weather discussing the planet&#039;s upcoming self-destruction when the wind blew the gigantic Autobot insignia off the wall and onto Dreadwind&#039;s head. {{storylink|Exodus!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Marvel &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; comics====&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots had at some point begun using a new insignia that resembled Optimus Prime rather than the [[Last Autobot]]. [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]&#039;s Decepticons were also using a new symbol, similar to their old one, that coincidentally resembled the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]] insignia closely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]&#039;s Maximal insignia once morphed into a Predacon one (and later back again). No other Transformer showed they could do this, and he only used it for a con. {{storylink|Double Jeopardy}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the [[Transmuter (BW)|Transmuter]] turned [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] into a Predacon, it automatically changed his insignia as well as giving him a [[redeco]]. {{storylink|Dark Designs}} Likewise, [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] gained Decepticon insignia while he was possessed by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Possession}} [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] sported both a Decepticon and Predacon insignia while working as a Predacon secret agent. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part 1)}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waspinator &#039;&#039;pulled his insignia off&#039;&#039; like it was a fabric patch when renouncing his Predacon membership. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] has such an ego, he created [[:File:OptimalSituation Tarantulas insignia.jpg|his &#039;&#039;own&#039;&#039; special insignia]] for his [[Arachnoid]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Unicron Trilogy===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] could change his insignia from Autobot to Decepticon—an ability he utilised for deceptive purposes. {{storylink|Credulous}} {{storylink|Ship}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the power of [[Unicron]], [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]] had the ability to brainwash Transformers to the Decepticon cause. In [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]]&#039;s case, it changed his insignia from Autobot to Decepticon. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}} When Inferno fought against Megatron&#039;s influence through his willpower, his insignia would toggle back and forth until he succeeded in purging the Decepticon in him. His Autobot insignia looked brand new after that. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Wings Universe&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Wingsnote}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Pyro streetwise insignia g2 redux.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating [[Clench (G1)|Clench]]&#039;s Decepticons at the [[Large Hadron Collider]] in [[Switzerland]], [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] decided that he would have the rest of the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]]s transferred to serve on [[Earth]]. To make it official, [[Pyro (G1)|Pyro]] handed him a set of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; Autobot badges. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
The first five Transformers, the [[Guiding Hand]], each had their own personal insignia. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} When the [[Knights of Cybertron]] left the planet, they marched beneath the banner of [[Adaptus]]. As a result of the [[information creep]] unleashed following the [[God War]], the symbols of the other four members would later be conflated as having belonged to other clans of the Knights. {{storylink|An Axe to Break the Ice}} {{storylink|The Ties That Bind}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the primitive age that followed the departure of Knights, the [[Thirteen]] came to power. One of their number, the bestial [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]] marked the occasion by commissioning, the &amp;quot;First Face&amp;quot;, supposedly based of [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]]&#039;s description of [[Primus]]&#039;s likeness, but in reality, one of the many ontological paradoxes he had dedicated himself to invoking. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The First Face was, up until the outbreak of the war, considered the closest thing Cybertron had to a universal symbol, held in high regard by the [[High Priests of K&#039;th Kinsere]], the Ignition Cults and the Circuit Sects. Whenever the Cybertronian race was moved by significant unrest, the face would appear, often designed in subtle ways that historians would use to mark the transition from one epoch to the next. During [[Zeta Prime]]&#039;s rule as Prime, the symbol was co-opted for the nascent Autobot faction. {{storylink|Omega&#039;s Conundrum}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticon insignia came about after [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] hurled his datapad at a random screen and decided he liked the shatter pattern. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other insignia were recognized by Cybertronian society, such as the distinctive [[Facial hair|facial insignia]] worn by members of the [[House]] of Ambus. {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ambus}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as he took on the moniker of the &amp;quot;Grand Architect&amp;quot;, Adaptus continued to utilize his insignia, having his troops branded with it. {{storylink|Animals}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} In their quest for the Knights of Cybertron, the &#039;&#039;[[Lost Light]]&#039;&#039; crew repeatedly encountered the emblem but failed to connect it to Adaptus until they confronted him whereupon he claimed ownership of it. {{storylink|Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|This Calamitous Life}} {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}} {{storylink|The Not Knowing}} {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}} {{storylink|An Axe to Break the Ice}} {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Wars: Uprising===&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath of [[Maxima]]&#039;s death, numerous proto-formers began using a stylized image of her [[Luponoid]] steed as the insignia of the burgeoning Maximal faction. {{storylink|The Predacon Manifesto}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Galva Convoy]] made it clear he was no longer obeying the Builder Assembly, Knock Out noted he bored a different insignia from the Maximal one he&#039;d had previously, one representing the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]]. {{storylink|Derailment}}&lt;br /&gt;

![[File:Symbol autobot reg.png|250px|Autobot insignia]]&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Autobot]]&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;It seems likely that in the real world, the Autobot symbol was derived from a stylized drawing of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]&#039;s toy&#039;s head. In the Marvel Comics continuity, it was known as the &amp;quot;Autobrand&amp;quot; (a name that carries over into the IDW continuity) and was seemingly based on the face of the [[Last Autobot]]. In the original animated series, it was a mark of the [[Quintesson]] slave brand.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
![[File:Symbol decept reg.png|236px|Decepticon insignia]] &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Decepticon]]&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;It seems likely that in the real world, the Decepticon symbol was derived from a stylized drawing of [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]&#039;s toy&#039;s head. It has no given origin in the G1 cartoon, but it presumably has similar roots to the Autobot symbol.  In the IDW continuity, the symbol was inspired by a pattern left in a pane of glass which [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] smashed with a datapad in a fit of frustration, while in the process of starting the Decepticon movement. {{storylink|Chaos Theory #1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that the downward-facing point on the base of the central crest was unusual in the 1980s, where the original toy crest ([[#The Great War|see below]]) had ended in a blunt base, which the cartoon also generally used, though with a third point at the top. IDW have generally (though not universally) revived that version in the comics and reference books published by them, as seen on the [[:File:TDOOP cvrRIB.jpg|RI-B cover of their &#039;&#039;Death of Optimus Prime&#039;&#039; one-shot.]]&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;For the 2007 movie, the Autobot and Decepticon factions were rendered in steely gray. Additionally, the Autobot and Decepticons were strongly associated with the colors blue and red, which led to the Autobot symbol appearing in blue in multiple media. Nonetheless the &#039;official colors&#039; of said symbols remains red and purple.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Live action Autobot insignia.png|&#039;&#039;&#039;Autobot&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;The biggest change is that the tops of the eye sockets, horizontal in the G1 symbol, tip down towards the middle in the Movie symbol. There are other minor differences in proportions and angles.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Movie Autobot.JPG|&#039;&#039;The movie Autobot symbol as it appeared in various promotional material. The beveled edges and metal appearance as opposed to the normal stencil-like insignia is reminiscent of the original insignias as they appeared on the G1 toy packaging.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Live action Decepticon insignia.png|&#039;&#039;&#039;Decepticon&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;The G1 symbol has triangular eyes, as opposed to the skinny diamond eyes in the Movie symbol. Again, there are other minor differences. Perhaps most interesting in this continuity, is that the Decepticon symbol is based upon the face of [[The Fallen]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s such an AWESOME buried assumption in a section called &#039;Known Faction Symbols.&#039;  This whole idea that there are UNKNOWN faction symbols too.  The idea that there is a BODY to this story beyond what&#039;s been written, the idea that it has a form BEFORE it&#039;s written... is facinating. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 15:40, 4 April 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#039;t feel the Transtech faction symbols belong here. The line never happened. The events after BM have been well established- Transtech was not it. TFU stupidity aside- they are not all Autobots and Decepticons now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I have to ask- there was an Arachnoid faction-symbol?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yea there was a screencap in Lone Maximal&#039;s faction symble thread b4 the allspark went down. [[User:X-BoB58|X-BoB58]] 15:27, 4 April 2006 (PDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think it&#039;s fine to include them, just with an info note that they&#039;re unused. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking of rare symbols I really want the 5 Predacon symbols from IDW Beast Wars to be up here too, but should they go under BW PRedacon or be their own thing?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also there should be pics of both the regular Con symbol and the three-pointed Cartoon version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh and we should look through DW/IDW art to see if there are any other unnamed symbols there on buildings or anything. [[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 22:28, 4 April 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do we want to include pics of the diffrent variations of the faction cymbols that appeared on the toy packageing? I have the symbols from the top of the old Tech Spec archive saved on my PC and found images for the Blendtron and Commando symbols. I don&#039;t have the Cybertron symbols though.--[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 23:11, 4 April 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;d like both, frankly. My source for the G2 Autobot is distressingly low-resolution (I consider anythign under 400px wide low reolution) and I&#039;m not entiely sure my blendtron synbol is 100% right. (there 1 or two edges I couldnt&#039; tell if they were suppsoed to be rounded or squared off.)-[[User:Derik|Derik]] 01:09, 5 April 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The G2 Decepticon symbol looks nothing whatsoever like Clench besides sharing that diamond-shaped forehead crest, and it&#039;s missing arguably the most distinguishing feature of Clench&#039;s face - the triangular (point-up) mouthplate. In my opinion, the G2 symbol is clearly a stylized version of the G1 Decepticon symbol. Similarly, there is essentially no similarity between the G2 Autobot symbol and Pyro - the G2 Autobot symbol couldn&#039;t much more clearly be Optimus Prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, why is the CR Combatron insignia under &amp;quot;Beast Era&amp;quot;? `[[User:LV|LV]] 17:50, 30 May 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;d need to go back to my G2 issues to check, but I question the validity of suggesting that the G2 Decepticon and Cybertronian symbols are any different. (The only distinction shown here is color, anyway) I also question the simplified versions of the symbols used in the cartoon as &amp;quot;symbols&amp;quot; in their own right, but it seems that I&#039;ve already been outvoted on that count. The only thing I &#039;&#039;would&#039;&#039; ask for is some source text, especially for the more obscure symbols. If they&#039;re going to be here, we need to know where they come from.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 18:52, 30 May 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, and I totally disagree with the note that the G1 Decepticon symbol is based on Soundwave. This is a myth that has perpetuated for years, but has no basis in fact.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 18:56, 30 May 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

I recently moved this article to correct the second capitalized word. However, I am unsure as to whether to move it again and remove the plural. Most article names are singular, even for something like [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]. However, one of the points of this article is to describe and show many faction symbols. This sort of implies a plural title to me. So... I&#039;m conflicted. Does anybody have an opinion? --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 22:34, 12 June 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

I think that if this were an article describing the general signifigance of a faction symbol, that might be appropriate. But this is a list of Faction Symbols. The list is inherenly plural, there&#039;s like 30 of &#039;em. &#039;Faction Symbol,&#039; describing the role and importance of saction symbols in general might be a seperate article- this is a list. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 00:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

::If you actualy look at the emblems being displayed, that was exactly my point, but someone has made it incorrect again. Razorclaw&#039;s orange, maned symbol that matches his beast head is listed with *Rampage&#039;s* name. Rampage&#039;s red, non-maned symbol, which matches his beast head, is listed with *Razorclaw&#039;s* name. The symbols also have the wrong file names, with Razroclaw&#039;s symbol named &amp;quot;Rampage Symbol.png&amp;quot; and Rampage&#039;s symbol named &amp;quot;Razorclaw Symbol.png&amp;quot;.

===Robots in Diguise Commando===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
::I&#039;m assuing this is a placeholder spot for the Car Robots Destronger symbol, which was a green, upside-down G2 Autobot sigil. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 10:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bot/Con Symbols in RiD/UT sections?===&lt;br /&gt;
Should the Autobot and Decepticon (and Predacon in RiD) symbols also be listed in the Robots in Disguise amd Unicron Trilogy sections? It might be misleading if only unique symbols are listed in those sections. &amp;quot;Are Minicons and Powerlinx the only factions in the Unicron Trilogy?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
===Organization===&lt;br /&gt;
The G1 section seems to be vaguely organized chronologically, but Beast Wars doesn&#039;t make sense to me. Since certain chronological listings might be debatable (Ancient Autobot and Ancient Transformer: who comes first, etc), I propose to make each section alphabetical.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Generation 1&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Autobot&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Autobot (Ancient)&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Autobot (The War Within)&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Decepticon&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
etc.&lt;br /&gt;

===&#039;&#039;Factions&#039;&#039;?===&lt;br /&gt;
There is no basis for calling the five IDW Beast Wars symbols &amp;quot;factions&amp;quot;, and the Energon Powerlinx symbols are not factions. But I want to keep a page with all these symbols.

::Indeed. There are different Powerlinx symbols depicted because those are all legitimately distinct symbols which were intended to be legitimately distinct symbols, and they all *mean different things*. The Autobot/Decepticon symbols in the cartoon/comic/toyline are all the same symbol but rendered differently due to media format. We are NOT going to have separate entries for every single mis-render of the same symbol design. That&#039;s absurd. &lt;br /&gt;
::As Derik pointed out, what you had uploaded wasn&#039;t even the &amp;quot;cartoon versions&amp;quot; of those symbols!

The 3-D, glossy, transition-color &amp;quot;deluxe-looking&amp;quot; (if you will) version appearing on packaging, toon bumpers, etc to my knowledge (and i&#039;m sure someone will correct me if im wrong) was never used on an actual &#039;&#039;&#039;figure&#039;&#039;&#039;, nor did characters in the comics and/or cartoon bear sigils with this appearance. It more or less had media-only usage, correct? In contrast, the 2-D, matte, solid-color &amp;quot;plain-looking&amp;quot; version was the type used on the toys, as well as typically being seen on animated/drawn characters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::::Was there ever melding of these two styles? A 3-D glossy symbol with solid colors? or a 2-D matte symbol that transitioned in color? If there was, then I humbly retract my previous ramblings and apologize to the community at large (especially Walky, who seems keen on shooting down whatever i do anyway. And yes, I am aware of the differences between the powerlink colors, but I think my point has validity nonetheless). In any event i do admit to being confused as to exaclty what the &amp;quot;cartoon version&amp;quot; of the Con symbol was in reference to (thank you FortMax). =P&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::But if I am correct in saying that there is a &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;measure of deliniation&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; between these two styles, and not just a simple case of &amp;quot;variation&amp;quot; (which is essentially what the &amp;quot;three point crest&amp;quot; is, and you guys seem to think that&#039;s worthy of mention), then at the very least I think they should be shown as a footnote of some type to the page, perhaps following the Unused symbols.

::::::All of the G1 merchandise that had a symbol not taken from boxart used the logo symbols. The one exception is the marvel US comics, but that was due to the low-tech printing methods used. Plus, whatever the border shaps or solidness of the color, it&#039;s still recognizable as the Autobot symbol. The only time we would need a cartoon version on this page is when said sigil only appears in the cartoon. Plus, the only fictional apperences of the package style sigils (that I know of) are in scene bumpers, commercial bumpers, and titles, none of which actually happen in-universe, and the solid colored symbol appeared on the toys before the cartoon or comics were released.&lt;br /&gt;

Now, what I&#039;m about to say is pure &#039;&#039;speculation&#039;&#039; and thus probably doesn&#039;t deserve to be in the article itself, but I&#039;d wager it&#039;s a regional insignia that has to do with Kokular or [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], as Emirates are regional governors. Alternately, I suppose Megatron&#039;s gladiatorial medallion might be an alteration or perversion of the Kokular/Kaon symbol, showing its continuing evolution into the Decepticon insignia.

==Predacons Rising Unicron-Megatron symbol==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Predacons Rising, Megatron&#039;s new upgrade has a small star shaped insignia on the chest, I think we should add a picture for that. [[User:SoundWave|SoundWave]] 18:47, 6 October 2013 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== G2 fiction section ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unless it was in the GI Joe comic, what is currently listed in the G2 fiction section didn&#039;t happen. What I mean is, it wasn&#039;t part of the story that the Autobots got together and changed their insignia to look like Optimus Prime. The new insignias where just there. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 22:35, 25 December 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Well, how would you describe &amp;quot;their insignia suddenly looked like Optimus Prime rather than the G1 &#039;Bot symbol&amp;quot;. Errors &amp;amp; omissions notwithstanding, that&#039;s on the page, ergo it&#039;s part of the story between G1 #80/etc and G2 #1. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 22:49, 25 December 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::I sympathize, but what we can&#039;t do is imply that if someone looks up the G2 comics they will find the page where the Autobots and Decepticons revise their insignias. How about something like, &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;both the Autobots and Decepticons used new insignias, which they have apparently adopted some time after the battle at Klo. For unexplained reasons, the Decepticons&#039; new symbol was identical in design with the Cybertronian Empire.&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
::P.S. Looking through the comics again, it appears they (accidentally or intentionally) avoided some continuity issues by not giving Megatron, Starscream, and Fort Max any identifiable insignias. Neat. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 00:05, 26 December 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

== Arms Micron Stunticon Symbol ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As near as I can tell, the Arms Micron Stunticon symbol that came on Wildrider&#039;s sticker sheet is unique, derived from the Animated BotCon logo, but with the spiffy addition of MotorMaster into the design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I REALLY like this one, so I took a stab at recreating it, not 100% dead on, but I think I got close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades, can I add it to the page?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ArmsMicronStunticon.jpg|400px]]--[[User:Destrongerlupus|Destrongerlupus]] 18:21, 5 March 2013 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
: I really like that you&#039;ve recreated this. It&#039;s awesome. However, I don&#039;t think this entity you&#039;ve reconstructed is really an insignia. More of a logo. The insignia portion would be limited to the Decepticon symbol with the checkered square around it. Once a bunch of words or letters are added, that&#039;s not an insignia anymore. We definitely need to put this artwork somewhere, but I don&#039;t think this page is the right location. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 19:11, 5 March 2013 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::That&#039;s certainly sensible, might I propose Arms Micron WildRider&#039;s toy entry, or maybe in a note section on his character page? (So far) it seems to be unique to him, that is probably where it deserves mentioning. Also thank you!--[[User:Destrongerlupus|Destrongerlupus]] 09:24, 6 March 2013 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

I know that at first, the slash on the insignias of [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] and his followers was to avoid detection, but then [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] also slashed his insignia after joining Steeljaw, despite not needing to do it as he wasn&#039;t a former Alchemor prisoner, then in season 2, I noticed [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]] still kept the slashed insignia.

&lt;br /&gt;
Not long ago and somewhere close by, a glowing mist filled with TRANSFORMERS energy called ENERGON came down from the sky and covered a shopping mall. The things inside came to life as little TRANSFORMERS robots! These bots can hide in plain sight as everyday objects, meaning no one knows what&#039;s a bot and what&#039;s not! Mischievous, funny, and super silly, these are… BOTBOTS!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Energon hit the objects inside, it made them More Than Meets the Eye. Candy, sports equipment, electronics, school supplies, and other things came to life as little Transformers robots. These robots hide in plain sight at the mall, disguised as the stuff we use everyday.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

If any editor is reading this, please try to track the Cosntructicons in the Movie, and how many there are.  I&#039;ll not see the film again before its US release.

==Army builders?==&lt;br /&gt;

:Well, they also share the same name, at least Rampage does. &amp;quot;Rampage&amp;quot; is a Devastator component (as shown in the toys and DK guidebook) and Rampage is the guy running around after Devastator is formed (as revealed in the film). - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 10:53, 24 June 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

I&#039;m a little confused by the table at the beginning of the article. Scavenger has a blue cross {{dag|blue}}, which has no defined meaning in the key. The green cross {{dag|green}} is defined as a component of Devastator in the film, but the only character marked thusly is Devastator himself. Does this mean that we don&#039;t have names for any of the components of ROTF Devastator? If so, then maybe we should not have such a classification on this chart. Also, Scavenger is not marked.

:Seriously, it is a question that is bugging me a little. Who &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039; explicitly named a Constructicon? Devastator is, in the toyline.

Given [http://unicron-events-interviews.blogspot.com/2009/10/hasbro-q-10212009.html Hasbro&#039;s October 2009 answer to Unicron.com], should we split out all of the individual Constructicon pages (have two Mixmaster pages)? Hasbro is saying they are separate individuals. The problem is that we don&#039;t know if the Mixmaster that revived Megatron went on to form Devastator or fight individually with the Autobots, so the revive Megatron part should be in both articles with a note saying it could be the other guy. Also, with the exception of Rampage, we only know for sure the names of the combining Constructicons. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 11:46, 22 October 2009 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

::Well, it &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039; a clusterpfargtl and we just sort of gloss over it.

The &#039;&#039;[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]&#039;&#039; toyline was notable for introducing the [[Prime Master]] gimmick highlighting the titular &amp;quot;power of the [[Prime (rank)|Primes]]&amp;quot;. Like the rest of the &#039;&#039;[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]&#039;&#039;, each toy included a small packaged card based off the character; unlike its last predecessor, which used the classic [[Tech Spec]]s, the &#039;&#039;Power of the Primes&#039;&#039; toyline included one of twelve randomly packed cards for each toy, each highlighting the additional powers or personality changes that a Prime Master can impart on the character in question. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;&#039;&#039; starred in a film series that made billions of dollars. Woohoo!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Transformers (2007)==&lt;br /&gt;
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only &#039;&#039;Movie&#039;&#039; Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Legends Class toys===&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Japanese name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;EZ Collection Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Legends class Optimus Prime is an &#039;&#039;extremely&#039;&#039; simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in [[robot mode]]. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy&#039;s [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver&#039;s side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: The previously-released Legends Class Optimus Prime toy is redecoed to match the Leader class Nightwatch Optimus Prime deco. He comes with a predominantly black and silver redeco of [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Allspark2pack|Starscream]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Movie ProtoformOptimusPrime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Until I find my feet, I have to use these giant robot hands.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Protoform Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe Class, 2007)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MA-05&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Gun, missile, flame attachment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Based upon the &amp;quot;[[Protoform]]&amp;quot; (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his &amp;quot;entry&amp;quot; mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime&#039;s trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the &amp;quot;vehicle&amp;quot;, creating the illusion of a flaming comet&#039;s tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He resembles previous Optimus characters in robot mode: his angular chest windows are reminiscent of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth, with an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble saying &amp;quot;Exclusive movie poster!&amp;quot;. It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Prima (G1)|member]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|&#039;&#039;Tales of the Fallen&#039;&#039; #4]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Gun, missile, flame attachment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Optimus Prime mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[e-HOBBY]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic its frozen state in the &amp;quot;coldness&amp;quot; of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the &amp;quot;entry&amp;quot; mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear &#039;&#039;blue&#039;&#039; plastic, with the tail end being covered in &#039;&#039;gold&#039;&#039; paint.&lt;br /&gt;

===Voyager Class toys===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Movie Voyager OptimusPrime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|The last one of you out of here gets a... gets a lead salad!]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (Voyager Class, 2007)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MA-13&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The mid-range Voyager class &#039;&#039;Movie&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features a small interior with opening doors and a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver&#039;s side door is opened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt.  However, due to the aforementioned lessened complexity, significant sacrifices had to be made, such as &amp;quot;cheats&amp;quot; to the transformation sequence to achieve this.  He is thus less accurate overall than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck&#039;s front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack.  Nevertheless, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg onto his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Robo-Vision Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (Voyager, 2007)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a &amp;quot;Supermetal finish&amp;quot;, resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved &#039;flame&#039; paint decorations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for &#039;&#039;20th Anniversary&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime. The package also includes a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]]. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This toy has been retroactively declared part of the &#039;&#039;Premium Series&#039;&#039; of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:A gold-chromed version of the Voyager Optimus Prime toy was available as part of the same Lucky Draw contest as the Golden Protoform Optimus (see above) in the December 2007 issue of &#039;&#039;TV Magazine&#039;&#039;. Limited to only 3 pieces, it is insanely rare. The photographed sample here features a chromed truck grill, while a boxed unit has an unchromed grey grill; the owners of both pieces, the Mapes Brothers of [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/ Transformers @ The Moon], believe both are genuine TakaraTomy toys, so it unsure if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Released as part of the  &#039;&#039;Allspark Power&#039;&#039; refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the transformation scheme, this figure actually ends up being &#039;&#039;less&#039;&#039; like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can&#039;t have your cake and eat it too, folks.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:A single-packed version of the battle damaged Voyager Optimus Prime toy from the Sam&#039;s Club exclusive three-pack. Although the assortment number and the general packaging style (which are both the same also used for the [[Premium Series]] redecos of Voyager Class [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#Premium|Autobot Ratchet]] and [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#VoyagerPremium|Megatron]]) seemed to indicate that this might be a Best Buy exclusive, it was later confirmed to be an &amp;quot;international market&amp;quot; exclusive. It was released in Hasbro&#039;s Southeast Asian markets, but was not available in the USA outside the Sam&#039;s Club three-pack.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: A second Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, the gray molded pieces were recolored beige-grey, and multiple parts that were previously molded in blue and red (the chest, shoulder pads, and leg interiors) had their mold colors swapped, with extra [[paint operation]]s to make up the difference. As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the sculpt, in a &amp;quot;doing things differently to achieve a very similar end result&amp;quot; sense. This version was only available in a pack with an unchanged Deluxe Class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)#FreewayBrawl|Bonecrusher]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The largest 2007 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; movie Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime featured, at the time, the most accurate representation of the CGI designs&#039; complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His [[Ion blaster]] weapon is stored in the rear of the truck&#039;s bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel (known among fans as a &#039;hitch&#039;) is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime&#039;s legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.)  Optimus&#039;s final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime&#039;s eyes, accompanied by a &amp;quot;powering up&amp;quot; sound effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints, and ankles. His hands even have individually articulated fingers and thumbs!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: The first Nightwatch Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of the previously released Leader-class Optimus Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black. In fact, he resembles the original [[Diaclone]] Powered Convoy color scheme of &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]]&#039;s truck cab. The previously blue and red flames have been replaced with silver flames, while various other decos have been replaced by copper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version was released in the UK several months before the &#039;&#039;AllSpark Power&#039;&#039; version. Available exclusively through Argos stores, it came in an American-style box with the original Movie packaging design. This version was also released by [[TakaraTomy]] in Japan.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the &amp;quot;[[AllSpark Power]]&amp;quot; second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers.  The translucent parts were also cast in purple translucent plastic instead of black translucent plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Another difference is that this version comes in an &#039;&#039;AllSpark Power&#039;&#039;-style box instead of the original style.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Detachable, Retractable &amp;quot;energy sword&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a [[retool]] and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy.  This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The paint deco is... unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners, and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Unlike the initial &#039;&#039;Premium Series&#039;&#039; toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro&#039;s release. Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro&#039;s Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its &amp;quot;powered up&amp;quot; appearance.&lt;br /&gt;

:[[Fast Action Battlers|Fast Action Battler]] Power Hook Optimus Prime is a (roughly) Deluxe-class made for children of younger ages than the rest of the mainline and was designed to have quick conversion and action feature.

&lt;br /&gt;

:[[Cyber Stompin&#039; Robots|Cyber Stompin&#039;]] Optimus Prime is a non-convertible action figure made for younger children.

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (2008)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;TS-01&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Display stand &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Trans-scan]]ning Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a &amp;quot;Core Body&amp;quot;. To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called &amp;quot;transformation&amp;quot; into his meteor-like &amp;quot;entry mode,&amp;quot; accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This blue-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Optimus Prime&#039;s Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. We would go into what an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging &#039;&#039;mess&#039;&#039; this transformation is, but we wouldn&#039;t want to fill up the rest of the page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.&lt;br /&gt;

Of note is the [[tampograph]]ed detailing on his chest resembling &#039;&#039;Movie&#039;&#039; Prime&#039;s distinctive chest design.

: Partially constructed of die-cast metal, this small three inch figurine of Optimus Prime has a CGI-accurate sculpt compared to the larger toys, owing to the fact it does not need to transform at all. He is sculpted with his Ion Blaster in his right fist, and is articulated at the neck, shoulders and waist. He comes with a small movie-style Autobot sigil display stand.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn&#039;t inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The top of the truck&#039;s bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn&#039;t mentioned in the instructions, though they&#039;re hardly needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Movie (toyline)|first movie&#039;s toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot [[insignia|logo]] on the side of the truck&#039;s bunk, and kanji (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word &amp;quot;上海将军&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;Shanghai General&amp;quot;, while &amp;quot;大将&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;Grand general&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Japanese version of the toy, named &amp;quot;Optimus Prime Revenge Edition&amp;quot;, was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail &#039;&#039;Revenge&#039;&#039; toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the [[tampograph]]ed kanji lettering.&lt;br /&gt;

He would have come with a set of [[Jetfire (ROTF)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]] armour parts to form the powered-up Optimus Prime seen at end of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039;, and due to not having to form Jetfire&#039;s robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie&#039;s design of them than the leader class Jetfire toy could manage. While not combined to Optimus Prime, the armour can be arranged to form a sort of weapon emplacement mode or a jet engine on the back of Optimus&#039;s vehicle mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Both Jet Power Optimus Prime and the accompanying redeco of Voyager-Class &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#UniteMegatron|Megatron]] would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|&#039;&#039;Unite for the Universe&#039;&#039; comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader-Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]].

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (Leader, 2009)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;RA-01&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie&#039;s Leader-class Optimus Prime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie&#039;s [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime&#039;s entire pectoral region &amp;quot;flexes&amp;quot;, lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot; in [[Peter Cullen]]&#039;s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just &amp;quot;Optimus Prime&amp;quot;; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime&#039;s arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime&#039;s arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro&#039;s photos is that the sun visors above Prime&#039;s windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime&#039;s lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Overall, the robot mode of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who&#039;s your daddy? He is.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] to form Jetpower Optimus Prime by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like several new-mold &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro&#039;s stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted [[prototype]], the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, the rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime&#039;s CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release.  His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As a result of striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime ends up being ridiculously complex. Transforming him back into a truck is probably more complicated than shown in the movie and can only be considered &#039;&#039;torture&#039;&#039;. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being amazingly vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even &#039;&#039;harder&#039;&#039;. Also, let us not forget that, upon transforming him back to robot mode, he will declare his identity over and over and over and over and over until you&#039;re finished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic.  The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This version can also attach [[Energon star]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 fuel tank/exhaust assemblies - combine into [[Ion blaster]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of Leader-class Optimus Prime features a new lower face sculpt that lacks a [[faceplate]], as well as the replacement of his fuel tank/exhaust assemblies with new, transforming versions that can combine into his ion blaster/barrage cannon. To the simultaneous pleasure and displeasure of people who had already purchased the first release of Leader-class &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime, Buster Optimus Prime features an extensive paint job that closely matches Prime&#039;s appearance on the big screen, including covering almost all of his grey plastic with silver paint or chrome, expanding and outlining all of the flame tampographs white for greater accuracy to [[Industrial Light &amp;amp; Magic|ILM]]&#039;s computer model, and generally painting in small details, nooks and crannies that were neglected on the first release due to cost-cutting reasons. The red and blue plastic colors also vary from the original release, to better match his film appearance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:TakaraTomy improved upon the original Leader-class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market-[[exclusive]] Leader-class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (ROTF)#JetfireBuster|Jetfire]] and a slightly altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but unlike the standalone Buster Prime, has a head with a faceplate, itself containing more paint details than the first release of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version &#039;&#039;doesn&#039;t&#039;&#039; use the improved version of Optimus&#039; [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In mid 2010, this set was released in Australia. In early 2011, it was released in the Philippines. In late 2011, [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|this set]] was [[Rebranding|re-released]] in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; [[packaging]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Matrix of Leadership, 2 Fuel Tank-Gun assemblies, removable Energon Swords&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a brand new sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design. He is much more movie accurate than the previous Voyager incarnations. He features two [[Dual Energon Swords|energon swords]] made of soft plastic, similar to his Leader Class incarnation, albeit not spring-loaded. They can be detached from the mushroom joints they&#039;re on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also has a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] in his chest which is made of unpainted gray plastic. In an awesome homage, the Movie matrix rests on a stand molded to look like it&#039;s G1 incarnation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two [[barrage cannon]]s. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime&#039;s transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime&#039;s head magically clipping through his chest to transform. The instructions also neglect to mention that his heel/bumper pieces must be slid out until they &#039;&#039;click&#039;&#039;, making the figure just that bit more stable, and that the rotating truck door panels on his upper arms can be pulled further out (but not off) from their sockets, allowing more space for the panels to swing around his hood-arms during transformation.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Aa-01-battle-blades-prime-japanese-version.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I call these bad boys the &amp;quot;face-takers.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;

However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the dual energon swords rather than the hooks. He retains the masked face used for the Hasbro release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

He has a darker paint job and sports black splotches on his body and head to signify battle damage. However, due to these extra &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the Revenge of the Fallen release were omitted.  He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime!&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;We must stop the Decepticons!&amp;quot; The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated &amp;quot;Optimus Prime&amp;quot; sound clip as the original release.  To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about &#039;&#039;anywhere&#039;&#039; outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia).

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], this Deluxe Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, close in scale to Voyager Class [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|Megatron]]. He has a high range of motion, with ball jointed shoulders and hips, swivels at the neck, knees, and feet, and double swivels in the elbows. As a result of the transformation process, he can also rotate at the waist, though this is hindered considerably by his &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus Prime features a [[MechTech]] Blaster that can convert into an Energon Battle Axe reminiscent of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 character&#039;s]] [[Energon-axe|iconic weapon]], though the weapon cannot be locked in battle axe mode. There is also a pair of C joint rods on the underside of both forearms. His MechTech blaster can plug into the port on each of his arms or be held in either hand in robot mode, or plug into one of two holes on his truck roof/robot shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]&#039;s weapon.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold. He features heatshield details in his sculpting and translucent solar panels on various parts of his body, and huge gas tanks. Optimus himself is differently proportioned, having larger feet and a smaller torso and arms. He also features some [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|faux-kibble]] in the form of his actual windshield chest being covered by a sculpted panel featuring his characteristic deformed windshield-chest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a large [[MechTech]] Ion Blaster that can convert into a &amp;quot;Battle Cannon&amp;quot;. Like all of the MechTech Voyager class toys, this deployed form can lock into place. Specifically, the weapon must be pressed all the way in and rotated to lock it.&lt;br /&gt;

As part of the set&#039;s lunar theme, reflections of stars are painted across his vehicle mode sides and on his windshield, with a sharp reflection of [[Earth]]&#039;s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in one of his windows. This time, his [[Matrix of Leadership]] is cast in orange plastic.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a MechTech rifle converts into a large battle axe, and can be locked in by pulling the lever all the way in and tilting it into a gap to the left. The rifle has a separate flip-out handle, while the axe uses the rifle&#039;s long barrel as the handle, meaning that Optimus can grip the axe with both of his hands. This weapon was also retooled in a running change, adding a stop to the handle instead of relying solely on the gear system to prevent the locking assembly from flying off into parts unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Striker Optimus&#039;&#039;&#039; (MechTech Leader, [[November 17]] 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;DA28&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Eliminator Gun &amp;amp; Assault Blaster (forms Mega Striker), shield/battle shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Labeled as a &amp;quot;[[Triple Changer]]&amp;quot;, Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus Prime, with new weapons. The base figure has most of the same mold changes as Jetwing Optimus Prime (see below), but has been altered further; in particular, the transforming smokestacks and fuel tanks/ion blaster parts have been replaced with retooled regular tanks that now function as mounts for the new accessories. The colors on the toy are darker than Jetwing Optimus, with a different flame deco that extends farther along the sides of the toy. Additionally, two new 5mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us|Toys R Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot; saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the &amp;quot;We must stop the Decepticons!&amp;quot; saying of 2010 &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with shield with a fold-out handle, allowing Optimus to hold onto it with either hand in robot mode. It has a simple transformation gimmick for vehicle mode which is activated by pressing a button at the top of the shield, causing the sides to spring outwards. In vehicle mode, the shield can be laid flat across the bed of the truck, attaching via a post on the back onto the truck’s trailer hitch. Alternatively, the bumpers on the shield can be rotated outwards, and the front bent down in order to form a new front end and hood for &amp;quot;battle vehicle mode&amp;quot;, resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicles modes seen in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the &amp;quot;Eliminator Gun&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Assault Blaster&amp;quot;, which combine into the &amp;quot;Mega Striker&amp;quot;, a rifle that closely resembles the one used in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In &amp;quot;battle vehicle mode&amp;quot;, the sides of the truck are rotated up, and the guns can be attached by small pegs to holes in the modified smokestacks, or they can plugged into any of the standard connection points with their [[5mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all Japanese &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Rather helpfully, his instructions are supplemented with text instructions written in English for all the steps, as well as the additional photographs used for the previous Striker Optimus toy.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Jetwing Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (MechTech Supreme, Australia: [[June 11]], Japan: [[June 18]]-[[June 19|19]] 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;DA15&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Tank A &amp;amp; Tank B (forms Ion Blaster), Jetwing jet pack, Arm Gatling Cannon A &amp;amp; B, Leg Armor A &amp;amp; B&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader class Buster Optimus Prime, with an accompanying large jet pack and massive dual Gatling Cannons. The base Optimus Prime figure has several modifications including: a new stomach area and elbow flares to reflect the changes to Optimus Prime&#039;s CG model in &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, modified lower arms to incorporate MechTech ports and clips for the cannons, and a retooled area under his back so the jet pack can fit on more securely. The dual energon blades mounted on his arms have been removed. The toy retains Buster Optimus Prime&#039;s electronics, but batteries are not included. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Jetwing jet pack attaches onto Optimus Prime via a part that hooks onto one of the hinges behind his neck, and a spring-loaded clamp that latches onto a recessed area under Optimus&#039; back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus&#039; Ion Blaster must be removed for this mode, and they can be stored inside the engines for the jet pack. The Jetwing can be used on previous Leader Optimus Primes from &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; onwards, but due to the lack modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn&#039;t as stable. The jet pack features four MechTech ports on the main wing articulation points, and two [[C joint]] mounting points on each wing. The Gatling Cannons both feature two MechTech ports and 2 C joint mounts on either side of each cannon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime&#039;s flight tech for &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;, and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As with all Japanese &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Jetwing Optimus Prime was available for early purchase in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 (held at Tokyo Bic Sight) on [[June 18]] to [[June 19|19]], shortly before its wide release in July.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.&lt;br /&gt;

:This redeco of Jetwing Optimus Prime is a North American [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.com]] and 2013 [[Black Friday (event)|Black Friday]] [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] exclusive. Among other deco changes, he features Generation 1-style trailer stripes on his Jetwing jet pack, Movie-style flame color gradient on his Gatling Cannons, and [[AllSpark Power]] blue paint on the mechanical detailing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The box seems to have been created rather hastily from the Japanese original.  It is roughly identical to the Tomy release, but with the Japanese text edited out... mostly.  Random Japanese text remains floating in space on the top of the back panel and underneath the &amp;quot;Jetwing Optimus Prime&amp;quot; name on the front.  Curiously, the left flap has been rewritten to eliminate mention of [[NEST]] and the jetpack&#039;s ability to detach, while the right flap has been (badly) edited to remove all mentions of [[MechTech]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:DOTM UltimateOptimusPrime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|Truck forearms of &#039;&#039;&#039;DOOM&#039;&#039;&#039;!]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ultimate Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (MechTech Ultimate, 2011)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;DA32&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Trailer/Omega Combat Armor, MechTech Ultimax Super Cannon&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Billed on his packaging as &amp;quot;BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!&amp;quot;, Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; Optimus Prime on its own, roughly equivalent to a Voyager in size and complexity, though with a lower degree of screen-accuracy than most large Optimus toys. Prime has 5mm fist holes, as well as additional 5mm ports on his front wheel wells and both sets of external fuel tanks. Four of these remain available in robot mode. The trailer has twelve more 5mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus&#039; trailer]] transforms into nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although this renders the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation, having no leg articulation whatsoever aside from swinging the hips out slightly and twisting at the ankles for maximum stability. The armor adds six more 5mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the four from the cab robot and the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has his own pair of 5mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can support itself using folding blue landing gear, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime&#039;s gigantic Ultimax Super Cannon, an electronic light-and-sound weapon the size and mass of a Deluxe figure. The whole cannon attaches to a special socket slightly behind Prime&#039;s shoulders, can store on the back or flip over to be gripped in both fists in armor mode, or stored upside-down underneath the trailer in truck mode. When pointed forward, the cannon has a larger helmet styled after Prime&#039;s own with a large translucent face shield featuring a painted targeting system. The weapon has three electronic modes: each of two small buttons plays its own weapon-firing noise and flashes one set of lights, while the large pull-switch in the cannon&#039;s center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration &amp;quot;I am Optimus Prime&amp;quot;. The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot;, allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus&#039; imaginary &amp;quot;flight&amp;quot; operations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Although the trailer is made exclusively for the cab with which it comes, it is scaled much more closely to and can be pulled by Optimus Prime&#039;s &#039;&#039;Revenge of the Fallen&#039;&#039; Leader class iteration.&lt;br /&gt;

:This is a redeco of Ultimate Optimus Prime. While Prime himself only features a red grill, the [[Armored Weapons Platform#YOTDPrime|trailer]] has been extensively redecoed, with an ornate golden Chinese dragon being painted on the trailer panels, and the various gray parts of the trailer panels, armor, and cannon being replaced by blue, red, gold, and burgundy. The toy was released as a &amp;quot;[[Wikipedia:Dragon (zodiac)|Year of the Dragon]]&amp;quot; Special Edition in [[2012]], since the Chinese Zodiac sign for that year is the Dragon.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (2011)&lt;br /&gt;
:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Optimus Prime (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. You simply slam him down on the big blue button on the back end of his truck mode and he transforms thanks to spring-loaded mechanisms. To transform him back, just slam him down again on the same blue button. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockingly, he actually has arm articulation! Swivels at his shoulders allow you to rotate his arms 360 degrees! Go little Prime! Unfortunately, because his big blue button sits right under his feet, his robot mode is a little unstable when it comes to standing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Prime was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn&#039;t be transformed in package.&lt;br /&gt;

:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Go-Bots toys. Prime&#039;s pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, the motor gimmick really comes to the fore—his head, shoulders, and legs move in time with his forward movement. His legs pump up and down, his shoulders pump up and down, and his head rocks side-to-side. This gives the toy the illusion that it&#039;s running, rather than just rolling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The other gimmick for Prime is his auto-transform gimmick. From truck mode, push him down on his back bumper and his bonnet automatically folds back and his arms automatically pop out. He needs to be transformed back manually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In robot mode, Go-Bots Optimus Prime has a limited swivel joint for head articulation, and while he has other movable joints, all of them are spring-loaded and unable to hold a pose.&lt;br /&gt;

:His stock photos are slightly mistransformed: his legs were not folded out.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;First Edition Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; (2014)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;&#039;14 OF 30&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; toy line]]. Prime is an all-new Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star &amp;quot;5700 OP&amp;quot; concept truck vehicle mode and his updated robot mode from the film.  His transformation is much simpler than his counterparts from the previous three movie lines, being billed as transforming in &amp;quot;15 easy steps.&amp;quot;  His torso, shoulders, upper legs, and the vehicle mode grill are all completely chrome with the exception of minor blue and red details painted on his chest. However, this comes at the expense of his smokestacks and wheels being bare gray plastic, whereas they are chromed in the film. His simplified transformation also comes at the expense of having a very bulky &amp;quot;backpack&amp;quot; of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via 6mm post. In truck mode, the sword is stored underneath, while the shield mounts onto the trailer hitch. The sword also features a [[5mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime&#039;s trailer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was only available as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, but was also released at brick and mortar retails in Australia and Hasbro&#039;s Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as &amp;quot;14 of 30&amp;quot; in Hasbro&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]&#039;&#039; campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;fepress&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; First Edition Optimus Prime]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies &#039;&#039;another&#039;&#039; product as &amp;quot;14 of 30&amp;quot;, which doesn&#039;t sport any such markings on its packaging &#039;&#039;either&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;retro&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Habro Thrilling 30 retrospective] on Facebook, mirrored [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/hasbro-transformers-30th-anniversary-thrilling-30-exclusives-retrospective-gallery-181598/ here] on TFW2005.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Ion cannon&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class toys, &amp;quot;Evasion Mode Optimus Prime&amp;quot; is an all-new figure based on the character&#039;s initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime&#039;s White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; false smokestacks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Optimus includes an spring-loaded missile firing &amp;quot;ion cannon&amp;quot; modeled after Megatron&#039;s shotgun from &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039;. It can be held in his hand or attached to the top of the truck cab or truck bed via 5mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|&#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it. Also undocumented is the fact that the weapon can be stored under either of Optimus&#039; shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In time-honored tradition, Prime&#039;s instructions depict the toy with an alternate &amp;quot;[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]&amp;quot; head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]&#039;&#039; and &amp;quot;Rusty&amp;quot; releases of the figure (see below). Additionally, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him with extra white/silver [[Paint operation|paint detail]]s, especially on his chest and wheel rims, as well as having gray upper arms with red details, among other differences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is in fact almost as small as a Deluxe class) he is quite tall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Lost Age: Movie Advanced&#039;&#039; toys, is dubbed &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Classic Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;, and opts for a deco closer to Prime&#039;s previous on-screen appearances, omitting the blue paint on his feet and hands to reveal the gray plastic underneath, and adding new paint details all over.&lt;br /&gt;

:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction: Generations&#039;&#039; Leader Class toys, this is yet &#039;&#039;another&#039;&#039; completely new &amp;quot;big&amp;quot; Optimus Prime figure. While smaller than the First Edition toy, this one features more silver and chrome paint in vehicle mode, a more poseable robot mode, and a Vector Shield accessory instead of the Sentinel Shield. Unlike the First Edition figure, Leader Class Optimus Prime&#039;s pauldrons and hip-skirts are formed from truck kibble, giving him a marginally smaller backpack. His accessories have roughly the same functionality as the First Edition toy, with his sword being hand-held and pegged onto his hands or storing underneath the truck, and his shield mounting onto his left forearm or storing on the back of the truck. Additionally, the sword sheath underneath the truck can be folded up and used in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This figure was only made available as a store [[exclusive]] in parts of Europe, at least in the United Kingdom (at Argos) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Apparently, early plans for the shield were to have it colored gold and silver, but it was later changed to gray and red. When a hand-painted [[prototype]] of the toy was first displayed at the 2013 New York Comic Con, the shield was colored yellow and silver; in addition, the original versions of the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] also depict the gold color, but the versions featured on the back of the toy&#039;s [[packaging]]  were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy&#039;s colors for the shield. Meanwhile, the versions of the stock photos provided to websites and online retailers depict the shield in its final colors for the robot mode, whereas the vehicle mode photo is the unedited version featuring the shield&#039;s original colors. Furthermore, UK-based retailer Argos also featured unedited versions of the stock photos for both modes in one of its catalogs, causing some confusion among fans.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;argos&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/991761-uk-getting-different-leader-decos-optimus-yellow-vector-shield.html TFW2005 thread] about outdated stock photos used in Argos catalog.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Sometimes, the spring loaded &amp;quot;[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]&amp;quot; feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Lost Age: Movie Advanced&#039;&#039; toys, features numerous silver paint details, and alters the deco on his chest to be more screen-accurate, among many other changes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime. He transforms into a Western Truck seen in the film, in &#039;&#039;4 steps&#039;&#039;. Like Chomp &amp;amp; Stomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers (Both Hasbro and TakaraTomy), activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He is notably less kibbly than other AOE Optimus Primes...from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so promising with large chunks of Western Star truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he&#039;s wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The sword of judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the &#039;&#039;Age of Extinction&#039;&#039; leader class Optimus but cast in flat grey rubbery plastic rather than the transparent plastic and paint operations of the initial release.&lt;br /&gt;

Originally spoken by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 Optimus Prime]] at various times in the Japanese dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]], this line&#039;s got a reputation as a catchphrase of his among Japanese fans and has been reused by many Optimus Primes since, including the Prime in the &#039;&#039;Q-Transformers&#039;&#039; cartoon.&lt;br /&gt;

:[[Asia Premium Series]] Optimus Prime Ultimate Edition is an extensive screen-accurate redeco of Jetwing Optimus Prime (with a maskless head from Buster Optimus Prime), this figure features &#039;&#039;&#039;loads&#039;&#039;&#039; of accessories from the Striker &amp;amp; Jetwing figures, and includes brand-new knuckle and battle hooks based on the HFTD Optimus&#039;, which can be installed in either hand. The figure lacks the chrome of previous releases, instead opting for silver paint. The pin-striping is also absent, but he does have painted pupils. The figure also features 2-2-1 articulated fingers, which the [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Leader_Class_toys_2|first Leader Class]] did not have due to budget cuts.  The ion cannon included lacks the black paint application, leaving it completely silver. When purchased from select retailers, this toy will also include a shiny metal number plate and a bonus mini [[Allspark]] cube accessory. His instructions depict a weaponised mode which has some clearance issues, as his Gatling guns are shown attached to the jetwing, which pushes against his arms. His Eliminator Gun and Assault Blaster cannot tab into the Gatling gun tightly either.&lt;br /&gt;
