: ''Downshift is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family]].''

[[File:EnerDownshiftCard.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|No, I'm not [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. Or [[Wheeljack (Armada)|Wheeljack]]. Or [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]].]]

During his rookie years, '''Downshift''' was a decidedly headstrong individual who lacked the virtue of maturity. One likely would not believe that now, though; after diligent training under [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]], the warrior has transformed into a silent and cautious soldier, barely resembling his past self. Now a markedly more responsible Autobot, he’s taken to replacing his previous naivety with an expertise in different forms of combat. Woe be to the [[Decepticon]] who challenges Downshift–all it takes is one moment of vulnerability for the Autobot to put his training to good use, and take them down.

Despite being something of a loner after years of service in the [[Powerlinx Battles]], he's in a relationship with [[Joyride (Cybertron)|Joyride]], his lifebond partner. He's also often confused with the thrill-seeker [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]], despite them looking and sounding nothing alike.

==Fiction==
===''Energon'' comic===
Downshift was one of many Autobots assembled by [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] when [[Los Angeles|four]] [[Earth]] [[Toronto|cities]] [[Moscow|were]] attacked by [[Alpha Quintesson|Alpha Q's]] [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] clone army. He joined [[Prowl (Energon)|Prowl]] and [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]] in [[Tokyo]], [[Japan]] fighting against a horde of [[Cruellock]] drones. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} He and his team later witnessed a reborn [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] massacre the Terrorcon hordes before he mysteriously disappeared. {{Storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 4}}

Downshift was a rookie soldier sent into the rift, along with his partner [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]], to locate [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and his scattered crew. {{storylink|Protection}} They searched fruitlessly for some time over several planets and asteroids. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}} Eventually, the duo found the Autobots' trail on [[Iron Planet]]. There they were joined by their assigned field commander, [[Bulkhead (Energon)|Bulkhead]]. The old coot's eccentric cackling really got on Downshift's nerves, but he respected the chain of command. The three Autobots tracked their comrades down to [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], where the Decepticons were attacking. Downshift demonstrated that he possessed a [[Spark of Combination]] by [[Powerlinx]]ing with [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]] in turn. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}}

Downshift and a crew of Autobots made their way back towards Cybertron in order to get the [[energon tower]]s necessary to defend the energon-rich planets beyond the rift. They were attacked en route by a squadron of [[Divebomb (Energon)|Divebombs]], but Downshift and Hot Shot broke off from the others and made their way through the rift. Thanks to the power of teamwork, they were able to destroy the Terrorcons who pursued them, and transformed to speed off to Cybertron as fast as their wheels could carry them while spinning in the void of space. Uh. On Cybertron, Downshift learned that [[Brian Jones|crazy, cackling old men]] pop up in a variety of species. After securing an energon tower from Doctor Jones, they returned to Jungle Planet and activated the tower, driving off the Decepticon invaders. {{storylink|Bulkhead (episode)|Bulkhead}}

[[File:E33 titlecard.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Downshift and Hot Shot continued to oversee the arrival of more energon towers for [[Alpha Quintesson|Alpha Q]]'s planets, including the replacement tower called in for [[Ocean Planet]] at the original was destroyed by [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]]. They powerlinked in order to hold off the Insecticons attacking the tower. {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}} ''When [[Planet Q]] was rebuilt by Alpha Q outside the Autobots' energon grid, they were forced to defend it without the aid of an energon tower; they had already used the last one in their reserve. By the time Downshift and the others made it to the planet, Scorponok had already begun to ransack it of its energon. Downshift and Hot Shot joined forces again to protect Planet Q from Megatron's forces. When Kicker and Ironhide got in over their heads in a bout against Scorponok, Optimus sent both Downshift and Hot Shot off to aid them. But when they joined Kicker on the battlefront, he sent the two Autobots to deal with Terrorcons instead, while he assisted Ironhide on his own. {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}}''

In the [[Autobot Grand Prix]], Downshift was one of the more heated competitors. He trash-talked with [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] before the race, and held onto second place behind Hot Shot until losing control and causing the first pile-up. Unlike [[Prowl (Energon)|Prowl]], Downshift was largely unconcerned with the injuries he caused in the pile-up, and took the first opportunity to abandon Prowl and the others to get back in the race. {{storylink|Crash Course}}

[[File:Prowl Downshift Powerlink.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]
When [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]] finally got Unicron up and running, Downshift joined the Autobots for an all-out assault on the Planet-Eater. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} As the battle continued, Downshift and [[Roadblock (Energon)|Roadblock]] competed against [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] on the surface of Unicron. The Autobots fought and failed to prevent Unicron from reclaiming Alpha Q's energon orb as his head, and the dark creature was made whole once more. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}} Eventually the fighting became too severe, and the Autobots were forced to retreat to a safe distance while Optimus Prime and [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] prepared to battle Unicron personally. {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Unicron demonstrated his awesome power by consuming [[Blizzard Planet]] entirely. The Autobots were forced to struggle against the energy vortex he created, as entire chunks of the planet flew at them through space. Downshift and a half-dozen other Autobots were too seriously injured at this point to continue the war. They were placed in stasis chambers aboard the ''[[Miranda II]]'' in order to repair. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}}

After Optimus Prime and Omega Supreme apparently won the war against Unicron, Downshift and the other damaged Autobots were taken back to Cybertron to complete their regeneration cycles. {{storylink|Ambition}}

In a virtual training program, Downshift and Prowl were made tag-team partners. Unfortunately, they didn't properly coordinate their Powerlinx, and ended up combining as two tops with no bottom. Their opponents, [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] and [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]], were just about as stupid, but managed to defeat the squabbling Autobots anyway. {{storylink|Distribution}}

[[File:Energon-Downshift-Cliffjumper-Flee.jpg|upright=1.15|thumb]]
As Bulkhead, Downshift and Prowl were recuperating, Cybertron was conquered by Galvatron, who flooded the surface with energon gas that repelled the Autobots back into space. A small team managed to infiltrate the planet through an opening in the gas, after which Ironhide and *snicker* [[Team Ironhide]] were dispatched to rescue Downshift and the others. Eager for news about what had been happening while they were inactive, Downshift and Prowl pummeled Ironhide with questions, until he finally yelled at them to shut up and let him talk. Taking to the streets, Downshift and the others met up with Optimus Prime in battle with Galvatron, and the Autobots were fully assembled for the first time since the war with Unicron. {{storylink|Decepticon Army}} Reunited with their crazy ol' commander, Cliffjumper and Downshift joined Bulkhead in a daring rush on the Decepticon position. Later, when [[Six Shot (Energon)|Six Shot]] set off an eruption in the energon gas pipeline, they were pulled to safety by [[Superion Maximus]]. Although damaged, Downshift and the others resolutely continued to fight, assaulting the energon towers to prevent Cybertron from destroying the planets it was passing by through space. {{storylink|Formidable}}

[[File:Autobots-Destructive Power.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
The Autobots had just reclaimed the control center for Cybertron when Galvatron bathed fully in the Super Energon pool, rapidly growing to Unicron size. Downshift, Cliffjumper and Hot Shot went out to lend aid to Team Rodimus in the field. Even Powerlinked, however, Downshift and Hot Shot were outgunned by the amassed Decepticon soldiers. As the enormous Galvatron began towing Cybertron out into space, Downshift and the other Autobots continued to war with the Decepticons, fluttering around Galvatron like skirmishing insects. {{storylink|Destructive Power}} Downshift spent most of the battle Powerlinked to Hot Shot, but they eventually separated as Optimus Prime assumed responsibility for the fight, funneling the power of Unicron himself in order to defeat the possessed Galvatron. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}}

Prime could not overcome Unicron on his own, however, and needed the Combination Sparks of all his fellow Autobots to face the final conflict. Downshift willingly stepped forward to give up his individuality for the greater good of the team. His body was converted into pure energy as he became one with his spark, so that it could in turn become one with all the other Combination Sparks, revitalizing Optimus. Filled with the strength of all his men, Optimus united with Omega Supreme in the ultimate Powerlinx, grappling with Galvatron until the Decepticon leader shrugged off Unicron's influence and plunged into the sun. Downshift and the other Autobots then separated, and were restored to their individual forms. {{storylink|The Sun}}

====''Cybertron'' comic====
[[File:CybertronComic-Downshift.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Downshift. Always getting himself in some really [[Distribution|awkward positions]]. At least he gets a dope upgrade from this one though!]]
Downshift grew up in the [[Fourth Parallax]] neighborhood. There, his smarts allowed him to outclass the Decepticon thugs that ran the local raceways. Though he had always dreamed of joining up with Optimus Prime's crew to fight in the war, his upbringing had left Downshift reckless on the battlefield, and he almost died in his first battle. He pulled through, spent some time on Earth, and came to be a warrior who thought two steps ahead of his opponents. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 10|Downshift's profile in Club magazine #10}} After the evacuation of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] due to the threat of the [[Unicron Singularity]], some soldiers chose to stay behind. Downshift was one of these brave souls, and he guarded the [[Spark Core Access Tunnels]] that led to [[Primus]]'s inner chambers. While on duty, Downshift was attacked by [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] and [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]], impaled to a wall by one of the latter's [[harpoon]] [[missile]]s. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 4}} [[Vector Prime]] and Cybertron's other defenders had to deal with the "melty, evil guy", so Downshift stayed up on the wall a little longer than he would have liked. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Pt 5}}

After being released, Downshift helped Vector Prime bring [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]] to the Chamber of Alpha Trion, the later having suffered grievous injuries of his own. Downshift's injuries were looked after by a worker drone as an [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] and an [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]] from another dimension joined them, allies for the struggles yet-to-come. Much of the damage dealt to him was too extensive for his body to be salvaged however, and so Downshift was reformatted into a new muscle car form. As this process was put under way, Vector Prime vanished, and yet another ally presented himself to the group: [[Over-Run (Armada)|Overrun]], a Mini-Con who's consciousness had been integrated into the planet's Vector Sigma node. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}}

After the group spent some time repairing the damages dealt to Vector Sigma, Over-Run alerted them to a distress call from the Mini-Con Council of Sages. Downshift joined [[Sentinel Maximus]], [[Omega Prime]] and Skyfall in lending assistance to the Autobot-aligned [[Mini-Con]]s, under assault from insurgents and their Decepticon associates. {{storylink|Revelations Part 4}} Though Downshift and the other larger robots quickly gained an upper hand against the miniature aggressors, the situation became more dire when Unicron and [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]], the secret architects of this conflict, revealed themselves and joined the fray. {{storylink|Revelations Part 5}} Downshift and his comrades managed to hold off the Chaos-Bringer until Primus made himself known, and the now out-sized Unicron beat a hasty retreat. After the Unicron Singularity was finally dealt with, Downshift and his new friends took off in the hopes of meeting the Devil face-to-face once again and taking him down for good. {{storylink|Revelations Part 6}}

===Toy bios===
====''Energon''====
Hot Shot saw a kindred spirit in the headstrong young Autobot Downshift and decided to take him under his wing, trying to help him develop into a more mature warrior.{{storylink|#Energon|''Energon'' Downshift toy bio}}

====''Universe''====
With the evacuation of Cybertron due to the Unicron Singularity, Optimus Prime assigned Downshift to stay behind as one of the few Autobots left on Cybertron, with the specific task to guard the entrances in Iacon leading to the planet's Energon core. A loner by nature, Downshift felt at home on the desolate and damaged planet. {{storylink|#Universe (2003)|''Universe'' Downshift toy bio}}

After spending most of his time on guard duty and watching Earth kung fu movies, Downshift was assigned by Optimus Prime to search for the legendary Pirate Oasis, a lost lake located deep inside Death Valley, where he encountered a group of buccaneers led by [[Cannonball (Cybertron)|Cannonball]].{{storylink|#VsCannonball|''Unverse'' Downshift vs. Cannonball: Search for the Pirate Moon toy bio}}

====''Cybertron''====
Under Hot Shot's mentorship, Downshift did indeed become a more mature warrior following the Energon Wars, now valuing patience and consideration over impulsiveness.{{storylink|#Cybertron|''Cybertron'' Downshift toy bio}}

Downshift eventually fell in love with a [[Joyride (Cybertron)|female Autobot]] and was joined with her under the Covenant of Primus. Unfortunately, just as the two were planning to spend some time in the Crystal Cities, the Unicron Singularity threatened Cybertron, necessitating the evacuation of the planet's inhabitants to Earth. During the evacuation, Downshift was separated from his lifebond partner, but finally found her again following a lengthy search. Optimus Prime then ordered the two to stay in hiding in a small town south of Providence, [[Rhode Island]]. Later, the two stayed behind on Earth as envoys of Cybertron. {{storylink|Cyber Key Codes|Downshift's Cyber Key Code text}}
{{Note|This information contradicts Downshift's ''Universe'' toy bio, which claims he's a "loner by nature" and "perfectly at home on the desolate and damaged planet", and which his portrayal in the ''Cybertron'' comic built upon. It should be noted, though, that the Cyber Key content was often heavily tongue-in-cheek, therefore it's hard to say if this information was originally really supposed to be "[[canon]]". However, the Facebook edition of [[Ask Vector Prime]] later settled the matter and even declared the "motorcycle refugee" from the ''Cybertron'' cartoon and Downshift's "fembot lifebond partner" to be one and the same, giving her the name "Joyride".}}

: Released in the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)| Energon]]'' Combat Class toys, Downshift transforms into a fictional sports car that seems to be primarily inspired by the [[wikipedia:Cadillac XLR|Cadillac XLR]], with the addition of a few design traits, such as his headlights, also generally resembling the [[wikipedia:Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class (R170)|first generation Mercedes-Benz SLK]]. He is deco'd in a red-and-green striped rally livery as a homage to [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'s Alitalia livery from Generation 1. His rear window features a pair of louvers, again; also evoking Generation 1 Wheeljack's [[wikipedia:Lancia Stratos|Lancia Stratos]] alternate mode. The Generation 1 homages continue into his [[robot mode]] has he features Wheeljack's head, a simulated car roof on his chest, and even feet with a hint of shaping based on Wheeljack's original Stratos "grill-feet" (although these aren't actually visible in this figure's car mode).

: Downshift comes with a pair of clear-plastic guns, one a spring-loaded missile launcher, one non-firing. These can be hand-held or attached to Downshift in various ways in both modes. The wheel on his right shoulder contains a [[Spark crystal|spark crystal]] to mount an [[Energon star|energon chip]] to. This amusingly means the crystal and any potential chip mounted to it will spin when serving its vehicle mode role as the hubcap of the left rear wheel. Unfortunately, due to Downshift's chest being underneath his vehicle mode, the red paint on his [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] is usually one of the first paint applications to be worn off from play. Good luck trying to find one loose on the aftermarket with a fully-painted insignia!

: When Powerlinxing with the other Autobot Combat Class toys in the line, he can either form a lower body or a torso. When forming the torso, he becomes '''Powerlinx Downshift'''. Due to the connections being the same, Downshift can also Powerlinx with the Mega Class Autobot toys, but this just looks plain silly.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Super Link'' '''Wheeljack''' release replaced the pale-olive plastic color of his robot parts with a medium silver.

: Downshift was first released as part of the final wave of "normal" ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' black-backed cards, a shipment that appears to have been very brief, mostly showing up in Kohl's department stores and Canada. This naturally caused a panic. He was later released in much greater numbers in the "''The Powerlinx Battles''" packaging.

: Downshift was later [[redeco]]ed as [[BotCon 2010]]'s [[Slicer (G1)#Timelines|Decepticon Slice]].

: For ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'', the original ''Energon'' Downshift was [[redeco]]ed with blue stripes and a large Autobot sigil on his [[Alternate mode|car mode]], which, strangely enough, has the "eyes" filled in. However, his robot mode was almost totally unchanged, save yellow plastic replacing the pale-olive. The paint operations on his [[robot mode]] chest were not even changed to match his new vehicle mode deco.

: A [[KB Toys]] [[exclusive]] alongside [[Cyclonus (Armada)#Universe (2003)|Snow Cat]], the pair were released during a time when Kay-Bee was having great financial difficulty, closing multiple stores nationwide. Few Kay-Bees appear to have actually received these. The bulk of these exclusives appear to have been sent instead to "Kay-Bee Toy Works" outlet stores.

: Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Downshift transforms into a green car that combines elements from various 1970s era muscle and pony cars. In either mode, inserting a [[Cyber Key]] into a flip-up slot in his rear window springs open a claw from the car's grill, with a grinder in the center. He comes with two large spring-loaded missile launchers, which can peg via [[5 mm post|5mm post]] on his vehicle side-panels/robot legs, or mount on his shoulders.

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

:While Downshift's Wheeljack-modeled head in this form is not surprising, he still retains his Lancia-grill feet. Funky.

==Notes==
* The ''Energon'' cartoon switched Downshift and [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]]'s dialogue recordings around from their first appearance in "[[Imprisoned Inferno]]" onwards, leading to several moments where the characters would refer to themselves with the wrong names. Additionally, other characters would refer to them with the wrong name, due to the unintentional swapping of recordings.
**This name mix up got so bad in the Latin-American Spanish dub that the regular voice actors for Downshift and Cliffjumper would also switch roles due to this confusion.
* The Japanese version of the character was also going to have the name "Downshift" (ダウンシフト ''Daunshifuto''), like the English version, until he was renamed "'''Wheeljack'''" in accordance with the [[homage]] he became during the design phase.

{{factions|autobot|autobotg2}}
{{disambig3|Superion}}
{{featured}}
:''Superion is an [[Autobot]] [[combiner]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Superion studioox.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I MUST SUCCEED!]]
As the first of the [[Autobot]] [[combiner]]s, '''Superion''' is an imperfect warrior at best. In other gestalt Transformers, the mental aspect of combination has famously resulted in instability and insanity, as disparate personalities have been meshed into one mismatched whole. Superion aims to overcome this not by achieving a more thorough melding of the minds, but rather, by ''shutting out'' all the different, conflicting personalities of the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] who compose him. He suppresses absolutely everything save for his dedication to the destruction of the [[Decepticon]]s, and his rival [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] in particular—something that he is especially good at, despite the fact that his strangled thought processes leave him struggling to innovate or adapt to new tactics in battle. Other Autobots mistakenly interpret this single-mindedness and inability to engage on a social level as aloofness, as if Superion considered himself to be above his teammates, but he is truly physically and mentally incapable of giving any more of himself.

Superion is made up of the five Aerialbots:

*[[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] (torso)
*[[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]] (left arm)
*[[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] (left leg)
*[[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]] (right arm)
*[[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] (right leg)

In some universes, [[Airazor (Universe)|Airazor]] or [[Alpha Bravo]] replace Slingshot on the team, and [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] transforms into Superion's weapon.

====''The Transformers'' cartoon====

[[File:KTVS2 superion vs menasor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Taken seconds before he teabagged Menasor.]] When the five Aerialbots were created on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and brought to life by [[Vector Sigma]]—reactivated through the sacrifice of [[Alpha Trion]]—[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] slyly alluded to Superion's existence by noting that ''six'' Autobots had been born that day. The other Autobots soon learned the true meaning of their leader's words when, during a battle back on [[Earth]], the Aerialbots merged to become Superion for the first time to counter the threat posed by Menasor. At first, Superion was able to match Menasor, but the Decepticon combiner's sheer aggression soon turned the tide. Struck by a building and trapped by a landslide, Superion was nearly run through by a factory smokestack until, at the last moment, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] appeared to intercept Menasor's attack. Helped free by Omega, Superion joined him in defeating Menasor, sending the Decepticons into retreat. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

[[File:Wardawn superion.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Weeks later, back on Cybertron, Superion engaged a damaged [[guardian robot]] in battle, and found himself tossed around like a rag doll by the giant's immense strength. Summoning up all his power, Superion delivered a punch so explosive that the guardian was hurled up into the air, out of the building they were fighting it, and then shattered into pieces when it crashed back down. {{storylink|War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn}}

During a battle in the Middle East against [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] and the Decepticons' [[Giant Purple Griffin|new flying fortress]], the Aerialbots were at a disadvantage, unable to combine into Superion thanks to the unexplained absence of Fireflight. Fortunately, their missing member soon turned up, and they formed Superion and promptly kicked the fortress out of the air. Turning his attention to Bruticus, Superion found himself flung to the ground, but as Bruticus lunged towards him, he quickly separated into his component parts to get out of the way, sending the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] combiner sprawling. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}} Soon after, Superion got another crack at defeating Menasor while helping in the Autobot effort to defend the [[Statue of Liberty]]. This battle went a lot better for him than their last, as he singlehandedly defeated Menasor and destroyed Megatron's [[Lightning Bug]] weapon. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

[[File:ForeverLongTime superion fires.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
In the year 2006, Superion accompanied [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] in investigating reports of [[Quintesson]] activity on an asteroid. Superion brought his prodigious power to bear against the aliens' starships and forced them into retreat, but this meant the aliens were unable to close the [[Time Window]] they had constructed on the asteroid. A robot named [[Alpha Trion|A-3]] emerged through the window, who was then hurled into space by an explosion caused by the attack of the returning Quintesson force. Superion managed to follow and grab him, but was then pinned down by Quintesson fire, and believe that he was doomed. As time began to unravel thanks to chronal energy leaking from the unclosed time window, A-3 transformed in Superion's very hands into his future self, revealing that he was actually Alpha Trion, whose life Superion ''had'' to save, so that his ''own'' could come to pass. The effect of the chronal energy then struck Superion himself, causing him to exist in two places at once, giving him double the firepower to repel the Quintessons once again. The duplicate Superion then faded away, and the Autobots soon returned A-3 to his proper place in time and closed the window. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (episode)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

Hounding [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] through an asteroid field, the Aerialbots formed Superion to really bring the pain. The two Decepticons rushed the getalt at the moment of his combination and were able to knock him aside long enough to escape through a nearby vortex. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} Later, Superion was part of a team led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] that prevented the Decepticons from using a comet to destroy [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. After the group was shot down over [[Eurythma]], Superion continued to fight the Decepticons until [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] incapacitated all of the Autobots using a [[Harmony|harmonic weapon]] he'd obtained from the [[Eurythman|natives]]. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}}

The Aerialbots were sent to investigate strange activities by the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]], and formed Superion after coming under fire from both the Junkions and the Quintessons. Superion shrugged off the Quintesson fire, rammed their ship with his fists and shot through the ship's protective shield, hurting himself in the resulting explosion. [[File:ROOP1 superion hateplague.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]] The giant Autobot managed to send a distress call to Cybertron and was carried back to the planet with help from [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]. Just before passing out, Superion warned Rodimus Prime of the Quintesson interference. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}} Some time later, Superion joined in the Autobot effort to defend [[Japan]] against Decepticon attack, separating into his component Aerialbots to blast [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] before he collided with a speeding passenger train. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

When attempting to recover [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s body, the Aerialbots were infected with the [[Hate Plague]]. While infected, they combined into Superion, who smashed a hole through the roof of the lab they had entered. [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] led a team of Autobots to attempt to subdue Superion, but they were shot down by the raging gestalt. Later, Defensor was helping evacuate a bridge when Superion attacked. Defensor was able to knock Superion away, but he bounced off the bridge cables, making contact with Defensor and spreading the infection further. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} Superion was cured when the resurrected Optimus Prime unleashed the power of the Matrix to neutralize the plague. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}

As the Autobots' Scramble City project was nearing completion, the location of the secret cavern in which they were finishing the battle station's construction was discovered by the Decepticons. The Aerialbots repelled the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] with an aerial barrage, but when the Stunticons came rolling onto the scene, they merged into Superion to deal with their old foes. A single kick from Superion tore up the ground beneath them and briefly buried the Stunticons, but they soon extricated themselves and formed Menasor to fight back. Tackled to the ground by the Stunticon combiner, Superion deftly separated into his component 'bots to avoid being stomped, then re-combined in an alternate configuration for more power. Menasor seized Superion out of the air as he attempted a flying kick and hurled him aside, so the Aerialbots tried switching configurations again, only for Fireflight to forget which limb he was supposed to be forming and fall off. Menasor exploited the opportunity to have [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] forcibly combine with Superion as the Autobot's missing leg, crippling him with great pain. A timely blast from Optimus Prime removed the Stunticon, allowing Fireflight to rejoin Superion, but the arrival of the Combaticons proceeded to tip the battle in the Decepticons' favor. Restrained by Menasor and pummelled by Bruticus, Superion had to eventually give up and split back into the Aerialbots to escape, but thankfully, Defensor and Metroplex soon showed up to win the day. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

During the Decepticon invasion of Cybertron in the year 2011, the Aerialbots assembled as Superion to defend the planet against Galvatron's forces. Superion fought fiercely against [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], and was almost shot in the back by the underhanded [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], but luckily, Optimus Prime was watching out for the giant warrior and Abominus wound up on the receiving end of the shot instead. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} As the battle continued, Superion, Defensor and [[Raiden]] came under heavy fire from the Decepticon combiners until the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] dropped from the skies to rain down terror and artillery fire on the Decepticons. The battle proceeded to spread to Earth as the Decepticons endeavored to stop Hot Rod from recovering the missing [[Matrix of Leadership]]; Superion engaged Menasor in the Arctic to keep him from interfering with the young Autobot's quest. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

Sometime later, Superion fought with Bruticus outside Trypticon, staging a distraction so that [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Twincast]] could break into the Decepticon base and retrieve vital information. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

When [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] attempted to usurp command of the Decepticons following the disappearance of Galvatron, the Aerialbots were among the Autobot forces who attacked his leadership rally on [[Moon (moon)|Earth's moon]]. They formed Superion to enter the fight, but the tide turned when Galvatron made an unexpected return and galvanized his troops to strike back, resulting in Superion getting zapped hard and fleeing with the other Autobots. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}}

Superion joined the entire Autobot army in journeying to the North Pole for a climactic battle with Scorponok. He fought against the evil combiners as the battle raged. Along with all the other Autobots present, Superion lent his energies to the Headmasters' [[Head Formation]] to revitalize Fortress Maximus at the critical moment. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

The Protectobots were first on the scene, but Superion soon came swooping in to back them up, only for Bruticus to join the fight as well. On Kenji's advisement, Superion blew the leg combination joints out from under the Decepticon combiners with his rifle, allowing the Protectobots to forcibly link up with them as new legs, flying the evil gestalts off and dropping them in the ocean. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 5|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #5}}

The Aerialbots' powers of flight made them the ideal choice to speed to the aid a group of Autobots in need of reinforcement on an island the Decepticons were using as a staging base for the launch of their counter to Scramble City, [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. Charged predominantly with protecting the local wildlife, the Aerialbots were joined in the mission by Protectobot medic [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] (replacing a miffed Slingshot), who took up position as Superion's left leg to fly to the island. The combiner was nearly crushed by Trypticon, but the saurian city was distracted by the sudden appearance of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], Scramble CIty's robot form. Superion detached Air Raid, who buzzed Trypticon and taunted him into attacking Metroplex... who turned out to be a giant hologram courtesy of [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], through which Trypticon fell into the ocean. {{storylink|Fight!

Unfortunately for them, the battle-station modes that [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] and [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] had adopted to hook up to Trypticon's city mode allowed them to launch the Stunticons and Combaticons into battle so rapidly that Superion was torn limb from limb mere moments after his combination. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}

The Aerialbots formed Superion to stop Menasor from stealing energy from a power plant, but the Decepticons had an extra trick up their sleeves: their new [[Omega Wave Cannon]], which threatened to shut down the Autobot combiner's whole body with its deadly electromagnetic beams. Though by all rights the two direct hits he took from the weapon should have knocked him offline, Superion's components redistributed their power to keep on fighting, hitting Menasor with a full-power blow. Unfortunately, the damage done by the Omega Wave Cannon had weakened Superion enough that Menasor was able to withstand his attack, and worse still, he was unable to change his limb configuration to counter Menasor's follow-up attack. Fortunately, Metroplex and the other Autobots soon arrived, and the sight of the giant city-bot left Menasor momentarily stunned, allowing Superion to get the upper hand. Disengaging Slingshot, Superion had him knock Wildrider loose from Menasor and take his place, immobilizing the Decepticon combiner so that Superion could stomp him into defeat. {{storylink|Full Throttle Scramble Power!}}

''Superion was first depicted in a series of visions experienced by [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]], the Autobots' human friend who had once contained the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] itself within his brain. After a particularly serious nightmare, Buster subconsciously drew the image of a five-jet combiner robot, a design far more sophisticated than what had been achieved by Cybertronian science up 'til that point.'' {{storylink|Devastation Derby!}} ''Another series of surreal dream images from Buster's mind saw the jet combiner in action, first destroying the Decepticon commander [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] who had recently bedeviled Buster, and then fighting against a new car-robot combiner. Realizing these dreams were in fact unfocused visions from the Creation Matrix itself, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] decided to mind-link with Buster during his next bout of REM sleep, guiding the visions into a more coherent stream of information. The link was successful, and Prime and Buster observed Superion fighting alongside his fellow combiner [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] against their Decepticon opposite numbers, [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] at the [[Pullen Power Plant]]. Relating this information to [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], Optimus and his chief engineer began planning on how to make these dreams into reality.'' {{storylink|Second Generation!}} {{storylink|The Special Teams Have Arrived}}

[[File:Superion aerialbots over america.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|left|Able to leap tall dams in a single bound!]]
Using information recorded on the combination sequence of the Decepticons' Devastator, Wheeljack reverse-engineered and refined the process to create the Aerialbots. Unfortunately, the team was called into action at Hoover Dam before any of its members, save Silverbolt, had their personality programming completed. When the Aerialbots were forced to combine in order to destroy a massive energy drill sent over by the [[space bridge]], Superion was confronted with a human pawn named [[Ricky Vasquez]] carrying [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] in gun mode, infused with a [[cerebro-shell]] that forced him to obey the Decepticons' will. Still, Vasquez had begun to fight the Decepticons' control over him, and he tried to resist Megatron's order to shoot Superion. Seeing the human as a danger to his mission, Superion attempted to crush Vasquez and end the threat, but Silverbolt loudly cried out against that course of action inside his head. Strangely, Vasquez and Superion ended up not fighting each other, but themselves, frozen in mid-action as they fought against their own inner drives. Ultimately, Silverbolt forcibly disengaged Superion rather than risk harming an innocent life. {{storylink|Aerialbots over America!}}

[[File:Menasor superion heavy traffic.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|I'm fading, I'm fading!]]
Following the near fatality at Hoover Dam, the Autobots erased the Aerialbots' programming and memories, reconstructing their minds from scratch and giving them an infusion of Matrix energy to start over again. Superion next saw action against the Decepticon combiner known as Menasor, fighting to protect his comrade [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] and their human ally, [[Donny Finkleberg]]. Their fight was cut short, however, when the monomaniacal [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]] agent named [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]] used her powers to overload Superion's circuitry, leaving him open to a blast from Menasor's [[cyclone gun]]. The RAAT agents managed to dismantle the combiner into his separate Aerialbot bodies and took them all captive along with several other Autobots. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic!}} The Autobots were only released after Circuit Breaker was forced to make a deal with them in order to end the threat of the rampaging [[Battlecharger]]s. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}}

When Optimus Prime determined that a new human construction named [[Power Station Alpha]] might tempt the Decepticons into action, he sent Bumblebee to attend the unveiling as a precautionary surveillance measure. Sure enough, [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] made an appearance, and so Optimus sent Silverbolt and the Aerialbots as back-up. They arrived just in time to see Bumblebee being blown away by the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] team guarding Power Station Alpha. Assuming their Superion form, the Aerialbots attempted to threaten the humans into allowing them to retrieve Bumblebee's body. {{storylink|Blood on the Tracks}} An intense but one-sided conflict raged between Superion and the Joes until he received a signal from [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], conveying the horrific news that Optimus Prime had died in battle while the Aerialbots were on their mission. Superion immediately disengaged and returned to the Ark. {{storylink|Power Struggle}} A short time later, the Autobots joined forces with both G.I. Joe and [[Cobra]] against the Decepticons, who planned to use Power Station Alpha to destroy the world. The Aerialbots entered the battle and became Superion to pit their strength against the mighty Devastator. Superion eventually scored the winning shot when his [[stress fracture cannon]] caused a malfunction in Devastator's coupling links, forcing him back into his individual Constructicon modes. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!}}

''Later, the Aerialbots confronted Menasor again, only this time their fusion into Superion let slip Silverbolt's secret shame: the mental merging allowed the other Aerialbots to learn of their leader's fear of heights. Horrified at being found out, Silverbolt caused Superion to lash out at Menasor with such savagery that they very nearly harmed the very humans they had come to save.'' {{storylink|...Perchance to Dream}}

''Still doubting the Aerialbots because of their various neuroses, Optimus placed [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] in temporary command of the unit and had him psychologically test them in the field. When Jetfire was gunned down by Decepticons, they formed Superion: once again, he was left crippled by the combination of personality flaws and could only concentrate on combat, tearing into the enemy and causing plenty of collateral damage. When [[Danny Phillips|a bystander]] screamed at him to realise what he was doing, the giant proved incapable of computing anything beyond his mission to destroy his enemies.

At one point after the Aerialbots joined Earthforce, Superion was struck with a [[cerebro-shell]], courtesy of the Insecticon named Bombshell, and he began to run amok, crashing through sparsely populated areas on a beeline towards major human population centers. The Autobots were unable to stop him through sheer force, so they enlisted the help of a human reporter named [[Irwin Spoon]], giving him instructions on how to infiltrate Superion's exo-structure and manually pull the cerebro-shell out of his circuitry. Spoon succeeded in the nick of time, freeing Superion's thought processes right as he reached a local township. {{storylink|Inside Story!}} [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] reported these events back to [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]], prompting them to send in the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]]. {{storylink|Front Line!

The two teams clashed in battle over the [[Pullen Power Plant]], each assuming their combined form; Superion was able to deal Menasor a crippling blow with his stress fracture cannon, forcing him to withdraw.

Having apparently merged into Superion prior to the craft's impact, they and a handful of other Autobots lay deactivated at the bottom of the ocean until 2002, when they were reawakened by Optimus Prime, emerging from the waters in their combined form. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 2|Prime Directive #2}}

Superion assured Prime he would be part of the coming battle. Soon after, while Superion and the other Autobots engaged the Decepticons in battle in the frozen wilderness of Canada, the US government dropped a bomb on both factions. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 3|Prime Directive #3}} Ironically enough, it was a metallic [[cyber-virus]] unleashed by Megatron's virus that saved them, solidifying around the dome of the explosion; [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] was concerned about the amount of effort it would take to extricate Superion from the metal dome, but the combiner put his worries to rest by punching his way out with sheer force.

Superion proceeded to fly the Autobots to [[San Francisco]] on his back, for a final showdown with Megatron's forces. Superion took on Devastator during the city-shaking battle, but was forced back into his component robots by an airstrike courtesy of the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] and their unstoppable [[triangle formation]]. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 4|Prime Directive #4}}

After Megatron's defeat, Starscream seized control of Iacon and exiled those who would not renounce their factions from the city. The injured Superion was allowed to remain in the city until he was repaired enough to make a decision for himself. {{storylink|Second Exodus}} Once the Constructicons became loyal to [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]], however, Starscream realized that all major factions now had access to combiners except the neutrals, and decided to make Superion theirs, drafting the two volunteers [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] and [[Alpha Bravo]] into the team to replace Slingshot. Starscream revived and recruited [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]], who agreed to rebuild the combiner. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}} The [[Enigma of Combination]] accelerated the repair job. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}}

[[File:IDWRID33-repairingsuperion.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH_6iFYiryY Da-na-NUM, da-na-NUM].]]

The new team of Aerialbots were deployed over [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]] to combat the similarly rebuilt Menasor, who had teamed up with Swindle and were planning to rob the planet blind. Superion's greater mental stability and dexterity allowed him to outwit his rival, even splitting his body around one of Menasor's devastating haymaker punches, stumbling the Decepticon and allowing Superion to pummel him. Superion was glad to help the Camiens, although he mused that they should have called him sooner. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} Starscream later showed off "his" new combiner to the Camiens as part of his opening remarks. During the reconstruction process, Superion chatted with Optimus Prime about Starscream's political ambitions and what it was like to be a combiner, although Superion was unable to articulate his feelings on the latter. {{storylink|The Possible Light}} Things quickly took a turn for the worse when Prowl and the Constructicons came knocking and merged into Devastator, aiming to shut down the Space Bridge and cut off contact with the colonies. Superion moved to stop him, but the Autobot combiner and his modular limbs were no match for Devastator's brute strength. Devastator dragged his quarry back through the Space Bridge, but was distracted by Chromia, Ironhide, and the Decepticons. In the meantime, Starscream resuscitated his warrior with the Enigma, and created a new combiner—Defensor—from a group of nearby Autobots. Together the duo were able to temporarily take down Devastator. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}}

[[File:ThePossibleLight-showingoffsuperion.jpg|left|thumb|200px|This is how we all felt when we finished our first ''Combiner Wars'' figure.]]

In the aftermath, Starscream stationed Superion and Defensor on Caminus, guarding the vital spacebridge to Cybertron. Much to Optimus Prime's concern, Superion had not willingly separated himself since his first fight with Menasor; Prowl commented that for all intents and purposes Superion ''was'' the new default form for the Aerialbots. Eventually, Menasor attacked once again, and he was joined by a rebuilt Devastator. Believing that Devastator, who now incorporated [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]], was still loyal to Prowl, Defensor tried to fight him, sparking a brawl between the combiners. The battle sent all four combiners hurtling through the damaged space bridge and onto a distant alien planet. The quartet battled until a [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|new combiner]] arrived, promising to put a stop to the mayhem once and for all. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} This was easier said than done, and Defensor and Superion had to protect an uncertain Optimus Maximus from a berserk Devastator, even as Superion tried to remind Devastator of Scoop's loyalty to Starscream. Optimus Maximus finally managed to reach a consensus with his components, and the three combiners battled Devastator and Menasor in a fight that spanned across the colony worlds. Optimus, Defensor, and Superion managed to surround Devastator and tear him back into his component parts after the gang reappeared at Caminus. With Prowl in custody, Superion was saddened to think that Optimus Maximus might never form again. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

Superion later resumed his post at Caminus's spacebridge, intending to safely transport Devastator offworld. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}} He later travelled to [[Devisiun (planet)|Devisiun]] with Starscream; his presence impressed the natives and inspired them to join Starscream's [[Council of Worlds]]. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}}

When Decepticons raided the space bridge chamber, Optimus Prime summoned Superion for crowd control. Despite Starscream's efforts to remain in command of the combiner, Superion followed Optimus Prime to Earth as a show of force to annex the planet for the Council of Worlds and prevent Galvatron and the Decepticons from seizing it for themselves. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}}

Superion and the Autobots engaged the Decepticon invaders, but Galvatron's forces were mostly conquered by the [[mindbomb]] effect controlled by [[Earth Defense Command]]. Galvatron then teleported away via [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], leaving the Autobots to deal with the unhappy Chinese defense forces. Prime's aide [[Aileron]] retrieved his ''[[Skyroller]]'' from Cybertron, and the Autobots loaded aboard, taking the Space Bridge with them as they fled. Superion and Prime's forces relocated to [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]]'s old residence while considering their next move. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}}

[[File:AsAboveSoBelow-giantsuperion.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Superionsize me.]]

Superion subsequently accompanied the combined Autobot/Decepticon strikeforce as they moved on Galvatron's underwater base in the [[Indian Ocean]]. While Superion initially held up well against the onslaught of [[Seeker clone]]s, tag-teaming them alongside [[Victorion]], the two combiners were unprepared for Galvatron's ace in the hole: thanks to the machinations of G.B. Blackrock and his [[Onyx]] software, Galvatron had hijacked the Enigma of Combination and spread its powers across the Earth. Superion was thus caught by surprise when Galvatron began mish-mashing the combatants together, creating a combiner of his own in the form of [[Galvatronus (CW)|Galvatronus]]. Seconds later, Victorion was taken out of action by Galvatron's newfound ability to forcibly ''de-''combine combiners through the Enigma, leaving Superion alone and facing down Galvatronus and [[Sky Reign]]. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}}

Galvatron then tried to turn the Enigma's power on Superion—however, Superion had ''not'' been created through the energies of the Enigma, allowing him to fend off the mental assault and stay together. As the other Autobots watched, Superion struggled to deactivate the Engima's adaptive code before coming up with a solution; by overwriting part of the source code into his own cortex, he could harness the Enigma's energies for his own, using it to force the other combiners to separate at he cost of losing control of his [[Size changing|mass displacement]], temporarily growing even larger and using his super-size to smash the ''Nemesis'' apart.

[[File:Ceremony-SuperionVsMonstructor.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
The threat vanquished, Superion separated; by de-combining, Superion had deactivated a vital part of the source code and nullified the power of the Earth-Enigma... so long as he never re-formed. Upon splitting, Silverbolt officially declared that Superion was "dead". {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 5: As Above...So Below|As Above...So Below}}

Years later, however, Superion was called back into action during [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s attack on the galaxy; following the destruction of Cybertron, the Aerialbots escaped to Earth with the other Transformer refugees, Superion was unleashed to tap into the powers of the Enigma once more. As the battle for Earth raged, however, Superion was forced to go up against [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]], mutated by the power of [[Ore-11]], but after joining forces with Victorion the pair successfully brought him down for good, with Superion blasting a hole through the evil combiner's torso as Victorion rammed her fist through his head.

Using the powers of ''both'' Enigmas and [[Stardrive]]'s [[magic]], [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] was able to tap into the afterlife, communing with the spirits of the deceased and using them to bolster Optimus Prime as he struggled against [[Unicron's creator]] in [[infraspace]]. When the battle had been won, Superion rejoined Metroplex and the other heroes as the assembled Cybertronians gazed out at their new homeworld. {{storylink|Ceremony}}

In response, the Aerialbots separated and re-combined at ground level, where Superion could safely roll into the Decepticons' legs and defeat them. Unfortunately he couldn't ''stop'', and was still rolling off into the distance even as [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] was trying to thank him. {{storylink|Kre-O Micro-Changers Combiners comic}}

===''My Little Pony/Transformers''===
When [[King Sombra]] was unleashed on Cybertron, he cast his mind-control spell on the Aerialbots, enthralling them to his will. When they combined into Superion, the result was the combiner being singularly focused on enforcing Sombra's will. When Superion began beating down the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], [[Spike (MLP)|Spike]] appealed to the individuality of each Aerialbot, allowing them to break free of Sombra's control and decombining. {{storylink|The Mightiest Dinobot}}

When Optimus Prime got the [[Enigma of Combination]], he combined the latter bunch into Superion. Superion then smashed many Decepticon outposts. After another Decepticon base was destroyed, Wheeljack and Perceptor thought Megatron was acting aloof, and that the minerals they found in the destroyed base were strange. The next outpost they attacked had Devastator show up, and Superion had a LARGE scale fight with the green bozo. After their battle, Superion had expended too much of the Autobots' energon reserves, so they had to find a new potent fuel to better give Superion more energy. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Transformers: Earth Wars - Combiner Wars Campaign}}

To permanently obtain Superion, one had to collect all six three- or four-star Aerialbots and combine them in the Combiner Lab.

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

:Superion is formed out of all five Aerialbot toys, with [[Silverbolt_(G1)#The_Transformers|Silverbolt]] serving as the central body component, and the four smaller team members as limbs, using additional attachments for Superion's hands and feet. A helmet covers Silverbolt's head and a red waist plate attaches onto his chest piece. He carries Silverbolt's [[electrostatic discharger rifle]], though his own [[bio]] describes his weapon as a "[[stress fracture cannon]]". As a "Scramble City"-style combiner, Superion's limbs are fully interchangeable; any of his limb-components, or any members of the other compatible combiner teams, are able to form either an arm or leg for the giant.

:Due to Silverbolt forming his torso, his design weaknesses are carried over to Superion. Additionally, as Silverbolt has rather thin legs, this leads to Superion having very thin thighs. His height coupled with the weight of his limbs can make Superion lean back, putting stress upon Silverbolt's weak and flimsy waist hinges.

:Along with Metroplex, Menasor, Bruticus, and Defensor, Superion was designed for an aborted ''[[Diaclone]]'' subline that would have been called ''[[Diaclone#Jizai Gattai|Jizai Gattai]]'' (自在合体 "Limitless Combination"), which was shelved to make way for the ''Transformers'' line. Based on the extent to which the combination process detailed in Superion's patent design<ref>[http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=O1Y8AAAAEBAJ&dq Patent #JP61-115590]</ref> differs from the finished toy (to say nothing of the fact that Silverbolt appears as a fighter jet like the other Aerialbots, rather than a passenger plane), it is fair to assume that he was the first "Scramble City"-style combiner to be designed.

:In his original release year of 1986, Superion's five Aerialbot components could be purchased either individually, or in a [[giftset]]. The individual Aerialbots were later reissued in [[Europe]] as part of the ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' series in 1990, and were offered as mail-in promotional figures in [[Japan]] during 1991's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1991_.28Return_of_Convoy.29|Return of Convoy]]'' line.

:As part of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', Superion was [[redeco]]ed in colours deemed popular in products of the time, or something like that. Silverbolt's white is replaced by light blue, Slingshot is gold, Fireflight a much darker red, Skydive silver and Air Raid blue. In addition to still wielding Silverbolt's handgun, Superion was now armed with two spring-loaded missile launchers that came with Silverbolt, which he could either carry in his fists, or could mount jauntily on his hips by plugging into ports on Silverbolt's wings.

:Because Slingshot is so notorious for having [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]] you might be better off not merging this guy at all. Or throw [[Afterburner (G1)|Afterburner]] in there as a limb. Or even paint a G1 Slingshot gold and add the G2 decals. That might work better, yeah.

:Unlike his original release, ''Generation 2'' Superion was only available by purchasing all five Aerialbots separately.

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Superion is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Superion Maximus]], formed from his components in the classic "Scramble City" manner, with individual multi-configuration energon weapons forming a hand or foot for each of his limbs. Although most of the original Aerialbot [[character]]s return in this set, [[Airazor (Universe)#Toys|Airazor]] replaces [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]]; while the brief character description on the back of the box fits Slingshot, Hasbro [[Hasbro Q&A/October 2009: Answers|stated in a Q&A session]] that Airazor is a new character designed "in memorium" {{sic}}. Superion's components suffer some mostly [[for safety reasons|safety-related]] [[mold]] changes, including the severe blunting of Air Raid and Airazor's nosecones.

:Like the Storm Jet version of the sculpt, Silverbolt features several instances of [[misassembly]]: The more obvious one affects his inside legs, which are swapped so that the knee joint faces the wrong way. Although a swap (involving tiny pieces and springs) fixes this, at least a few specimens reportedly had one leg assembled correctly, and the other one incorrectly, making repair impossible. Furthermore, his shoulders are also misassembled, since there is a sculpted chevron...in his armpit. A fix for this requires removing metal pins, which is at least easier than on the original Storm Jet version of the sculpt, since Silverbolt's pins have the ridged section on one end, rather than in the center.

:Like the simultaneously released [[Bruticus (G1)#Universe (2008)|Bruticus Maximus]], Superion was initially intended as a ''Universe'' [[Target]] [[exclusive]], but these plans were cancelled in favor of releasing the toy in the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline instead, now representing the separate character of [[Superion (ROTF)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Superion]] by this wiki's standards. A few non-American markets such as Australia and Singapore did receive the toy in ''Universe'' packaging, however, so it manages to make it onto this article.

:One of the first [[Kreon]] [[Micro-Changer]] combiner sets. The four component Kreons, [[Silverbolt (G1)#Kre-O|Silverbolt]], [[Air Raid (G1)#Kre-O|Air Raid]], [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Kre-O|Skydive]], and [[Fireflight (G1)#Kre-O|Firestrike]], can be rebuilt into their alternate modes. They can also be rebuilt into Superion by taking them apart and combining their pieces.

:[[Slingshot (G1)#Kre-O|Quickslinger]] can be combined with Superion if you have any sense of creativity.

:Like the entire Micro Changer combiner sets, Superion comes with only one Kre-O display brick, and a sticker sheet composed of his leg detailing & a Kre-O logo. Due to the leg stickers being slightly transparent, applying them into the black-colored leg parts can render the details being semi-transparent. The instructions also did not mention on where you should put the Kre-O logo sticker. Also, Superion's combined mode's waist part is somehow prone to falling off from the assembly while posing, and he has a problem standing straight due to how the legs are constructed.

:Superion happens to be the only Wave 1 Micro-Changer Combiner who doesn't need 'flak jacket' parts on any of his components. Even Quickslinger (who's not included in this set) doesn't have one, because Superion is ''that'' awesome.

:Released under the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[subline imprint|subline]], ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Superion is a new combiner consisting of a set of new sculpts, namely a Voyager Class leader/torso ([[Silverbolt (G1)#Generations|Silverbolt]]) and four Deluxe Class limbs, each sold separately. Initially, new member [[Alpha Bravo#Toys|Alpha Bravo]] replaced Slingshot and was released as part of the general retail Deluxe Class assortment in the same [[wave]] as teammates [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]] and "[[Fireflight (G1)#Generations|Firefly]]" (Fireflight renamed for [[trademark]] reasons). [[Air Raid (G1)#Generations|Air Raid]], a [[retool]] of Skydive, was released in the subsequent wave. Designed in the "Scramble City" style, they can, once again, be combined into Superion, with each Deluxe alternatively serving as an arm or a leg. Each comes with a double-barrelled gun that can transform into either a foot or a fist to complete the limb, dubbed a "hand/foot/gun" (or "HFG" for short) by fans. The toys' packaging places Skydive and Air Raid as the left and right arms and Firefly and Alpha Bravo as the left and right legs. On top of that, the concurrently released Legends Class [[Powerglide (G1)#Generations|Powerglide]] has a third "weapon" mode, which can be held by Superion, using Powerglide's front landing gear as a handle; unfortunately, his overall weight makes it largely impossible for him to be held by any combiner in a firing pose without falling over or pulling the arm down.

:As Air Raid was not released part of the first wave, the figures' instructions and packaging depicted [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Decepticon Dragstrip]] in his place as right arm, while one of Superion's two [[Stock photography|stock photos]] [[:File:Generationstoy superion.jpg|depicted him with a second Firefly as his other arm]]. The individual numbering the figures received, however, made it clear that a fifth Aerialbot would be coming in later waves to complete the "proper" Superion formation. Even ''later'' than that, "[[Slingshot (G1)#Generations|Quickslinger]]" (Slingshot renamed for trademark reasons similar to "Firefly") was announced and subsequently released as part of a "shared online exclusive" promotion named "May Mayhem", serving as an alternate limb for Superion and completing the original Aerialbot roster.

:Oddly, the hand-painted [[prototype]] of Superion on display at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 featured some coloring and detailing differences from the final product that are unique to that one sample. Even the hand painted prototype used for early [[stock photography|stock photos]] is closer to the final figure. Notably, Superion's hips (which are formed out of Silverbolt's shoulders) were painted ''red'', with the trapezoid sections in the center painted silver. Another difference shared with the prototype from the stock photos is that the Autobot insignia on the side of his chest was smaller and colored red with a white outline, rather than entirely white.

:Unlike the original ''Generation 1'' toy, ''Combiner Wars'' Superion is designed to have his legs attached with the aircraft fuselage facing forward as opposed to backwards. While the legs can be attached backwards to achieve a look similar to the G1 design, Silverbolt's fists necessitate untabbing the nose cones (or in Alpha Bravo's case, his tailfin) in order to fit, in addition to the fact doing so will rob Superion of his functional knees.

:As a part of the first and second wave promotion in Hasbro's Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s and [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]]s was given out when purchasing any four Deluxe Class toys from those waves. As such, Superion was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-generations-combiner-wars-free-g1-sticker-sheet-with-tru-singapore/32469/ Aerialbot and Stunticon sticker promotion on Seibertron.com]</ref> These sticker sheets did not include stickers for Quickslinger or Powerglide, however.

:''Generation 2''-themed redecos of the ''Combiner Wars'' Aerialbots including Quickslinger instead of Alpha Bravo, as well as [[Powerglide (G1)#CWG2|Powerglide]] (sporting a new, made-up deco), were released as a [[giftset]], including a collector card and a cardstock poster (of ''Combiner Wars'' Superion in his original, Generation 1-inspired colors). Though [[Slingshot (G1)#CWG2|Quickslinger]] doesn't seem to crumble like [[Slingshot (G1)#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' Slingshot]] did, there are scattered reports of [[Silverbolt (G1)#CWG2|Silverbolt]] having some breakage problems due to his thin combiner head joint.

:He is a thing of glorious, [[Neon|eye-searing]] 90's beauty.

:Similar to the "May Mayhem" single release of [[Slingshot (G1)#|Quickslinger]], the Superion "Collection Pack" was also a "shared exclusive" between various online retailers and the online storefronts of major "big box" retailers in the United States, but was available at general retail in Hasbro's Asian markets.

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors#Toys|Unite Warriors]]'' lineup, Takara's iteration of ''Combiner Wars'' Superion features a more cartoon-accurate paint scheme. He includes Sling (alternatively also named "Slingshot" on his bilingual packaging) instead of Hasbro's Alpha Bravo. Despite being announced shortly before Hasbro's Quickslinger, he was ultimately released later. Printed on his instructions is the first chapter of ''[[Unite Warriors Offshot]]''. Powerglide is not included in the set as ''Unite Warriors'' does not include Legends Class molds.

:The giftset included a [[collector coin]] when purchased in markets outside Japan. Superion was also released in Australia, as a Toys"R"Us exclusive.

:''Unite Warriors'' Superion was re-released by TakaraTomy on [[February 23]], 2019. Unfortunately, the rerelease did not include a retooled head piece to resolve the earlier breakage issue.

: Revealed at [[Cybertron Con 2024]], ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' Superion is formed from four Deluxe Class limbs and a Commander Class Silverbolt within a large frame, à la ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]]. Silverbolt forms the core of the torso, and additional frame pieces fill out a skeletal Superion capable of standing on its own. The smaller jets attach to the frame pieces to create a complete combiner. Unlike Menasor, his arms are capable of swapping places. An undocumented (optional) transformation step allows you to rotate Silverbolt’s cockpit assembly 180 degrees before tucking it into Superion’s back to improve the silhouette behind his head.

:Though his and Menasor’s limb-bots are incompatible with each other’s frames, the frames themselves can be swapped between the two combiners. However, Vortex from the upcoming Age of the Primes Bruticus ''is'' compatible with the Superion frame. Additionally, while their frames are generally compatible, due to a size difference in Superion's legs compared to Menasor's, a matching set of legs is required; otherwise, the combiners will be [[:File:SuperionCompatibility.jpg|lopsided]].

*'''Superion''' (1986, [[1993]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''W-1'''
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Matsuda]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Superion was one of three characters released as digital watches in Japan by Takara in 1986 to promote the [[Fight!_Super_Robot_Lifeform_Transformers_(toyline)#1986_.28Scramble_City_and_2010.29|''Scramble City'' toyline]] (the others being [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] & [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]]). Cross-promoted in [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (manga)|''TV Magazine''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s manga]] as a [[wrist-communicator]] ([[#Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers comic|see above]]), "Watchbot" (ウォッチボット) Superion is a small representation of the combiner with a clock in his chest. With the push of a lever he "transformed" into a full tiny figure complete with legs, standing up on the watch band. The figure cannot be removed from the watch, but the arms do rotate.

:Takara originally planned a North American release of the Superion watch toy in 1986 and photographs of it were shown in their 1986 US product catalog. For unknown reasons, its intended 1986 release in the US was cancelled.

:Superion and the other watches were later re-released in 1993 as part of an expanded line of Transformers watches that was sold directly in North America by Takara as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' merchandise.

**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:An unpainted figurine of Superion was available as part of the second range of [[Kabaya]]'s line of ''[[Transformers Ramune]]'' [[candy toy]]s, tying in with the ''Scramble City'' toyline. Like all figures in the series, Superion was sold in a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] box with fizzy "ramune" candy, and featured a main body was made of hard red plastic, with soft grey PVC limbs articulated at the hips and shoulders.

[[File:Superion keshigomu.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|''Ramune'' figure on the left, ''Forms Robo'' on the right.]]
*'''Superion''' (1986)
:Later in 1986, in the third ''Ramune'' wave, Superion was among the characters immortalized as a soft rubber figurine, known as a ''keshigomu'' in Japan. He was available in either red, blue or yellow colors, and as before, came blindpacked with ramune candy. While similar to the separate range of ''keshigomu'' figures released by Takara that would later be imported by Hasbro as part of their [[Decoy (G1)|Decoy]] promotion, Superion and his wave-mates saw no American release.

===''Forms Robo''===
*'''Superion''' (1986)
:Superion was also part of the small ''[[Forms Robo]]'' collection of larger ''keshigomu'', with this chunkier version of the character standing at around twice the height of his ''Ramune'' figure. Like the other figures in this series, Superion was packaged in an individual baggie and was available in red, blue, green and yellow.

:However odd his selection to receive the honor may seem, Superion was one of a small number of ''Transformers'' characters upon whom [[Collegeville Costumes]] based a [[Halloween]] costume. This two-piece set consisted of a sculpted thin plastic mask held over the wearer's face with elastic, and a smock with a picture of Superion's [[package art]] and his name on it. A fairly common packaging error with this costume seems to have been the Superion mask being swapped for a [[Silverbolt (G1)#costume|Silverbolt's]].

==Notes==
[[File:Metrodome TFTheMovie DVD.jpg|thumb|Ah, wonderful idea.]]
[[File:Superion-prototype-collage.jpeg|thumb|]]
* 'Superion' is a partial Latinization of {{w|Hyperion (mythology)|Hyperion}} (Ὑπερίων), the name of a Titan in Greek mythology associated with the sun. The fully Latinized form would be 'Superio'. If following classical pronunciation, the last syllable of 'Superion' should be pronounced 'own', not 'on'.
* Marvel UK is notable in how it ''really'' ran with Superion's tech spec, and its description of him having limited, "kill the enemy" mentality and being a "fierce and frightful machine". Of the four times he appeared in UK strips, ''three'' times have him turning out to be an uncontrollable threat (and the other time was a dream sequence!).
* Superion appears on the cover of [[Metrodome]]'s 2003 edition of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' but he isn't in it. Yay...
* A preliminary or alternative packaging mural by Takara for 1985 featuring many oddities (such as the [[Burn Out (Diaclone)|black Honda City Turbo]]), includes the preliminary design for Superion (at right).
{{--}}

===Character models and appearance===
[[File:WarDawn superion combination.jpg|thumb|Everyone remembers Silverbolt, but does anyone remember that jet dude, the other jet dude, that jet guy, and Aerialbot #5? I think not!]]
* Being made up of very similar-looking planes did not help Superion when it came to firmly establishing which member of the team formed which of his limbs. Unlike the other combiner teams, with their unique modes and shapes, when simplified down for Superion's [[character model]], the Aerialbots' limb forms are essentially identical, differentiated only by color, which in turn made errors very easy to make as well (as you can see from our sampling of Marvel Comics images). Broadly speaking, most depictions of Superion—the Generation 1 cartoon paramount among them—replicate his appearance as seen in his box art. In an odd quirk, however, the team's combination sequence in the cartoon would often show the individual members moving into position in accordance with the toy's ''instructions''—Fireflight and Slingshot as the legs, and Air Raid and Skydive as the arms—only for them to change colors to match the "box art" layout at the moment of linking up, as shown in the sequence from "[[War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn]]" illustrated at right.
** Japanese media was a little more thorough on this, with "[[Scramble City: Mobilization]]" animating the combination in much more detail that clearly showed the correct Aerialbots moving into place, and a diagram in [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 5|issue #5]] of the ''[[TV Magazine]]'' comic labeling the limbs as such. However, that did not stop [[Studio OX]] from creating a mix-and-match Superion model that made Slingshot and Air Raid the arms, and Fireflight and Skydive the legs which they used through their works, and which you see at the head of this article.
* In terms of animation, Superion has an ''astonishingly'' inconsistent character model. The colors on his arms and legs leap and jump about all over the place—they're ''vaguely'' consistent, in that, uh, the right arm is mostly red and the left arm is mostly white, but the specific details are constantly shifting around from shot to literal shot. The same goes for the boxes on the fronts of his legs, and it's a toss-up whether or not they'll remember to color in his black "shorts" or not. Check out our screen captures in the cartoon sections of this article—literally no two are alike!
** But it's hard to blame the animators when his character model is as badly drawn as it is, with various areas of impenetrable visual gibberish around his gun, torso, and left shoulder that don't seem able to logically exist in three-dimensional space. In particular, his rifle is so clumsily drawn that it has become a forearm-mounted cannon, leading to nearly all material that uses the model illustrating it the same way.
** If his model wasn't baffling enough, the wings on his left forearm are positioned differently between the front and back views. From the front, the wings appear to be folded against his arm, but from the back, they are drawn wide open. As this was a similar issue with Fireflight's character model, the animators would often draw the wings on that arm in both configurations from scene to scene. Fireflight's left arm also appears to be missing from Superion's model.
* Superion's appearance varies in media. The Generation 1 toy's head has a sculpted mouth which is absent in most depictions, replaced by a boxy [[mouthplate]]. Studio Ox and various Japanese illustrations retain the mouth and colored the face silver. The ''Combiner Wars'' and ''Age of the Primes'' versions of Superion split the difference, keeping the faceplate but painting it silver.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Superion''' (スペリオン)
*''Hungarian:'' '''Szuperion''', '''Superion''' (Marvel Comics)
*''Italian:'' '''Pentajet''' (toy line and season 3)
*''Mandarin:'' '''Superion''' (Taiwan, 速伯利昂 ''Sùbólìáng''), '''Dàwúwèi''' (China, 大无畏, "Great Dauntless")

Talk:How To Say Goodbye And Mean It: Part 2

Magaroja: /* Time to Ratchet’s funeral */ new section

==Lunarians and the Last Look==
Minimus says that 500,000,000 new sparks have come to term and ''also'' that 500 Lunarians have been integrated into society. The fact that he lists them as separate categories suggests to me that there are mostly "normal" TFs being born, and also a small number of Rung-ites who have never been seen before and got the new name.
Also: I thought the whole point of the last few panels was that it was ambiguous. The LL is flying near a yellow sun - as when earlier that issue it was near one when Magnus said "okay, it's actually time to go home." Rodimus setting a course for peril and adventure was like when Capt. Kirk would say "Second Star to the right and straight on til morning" - no one actually put that into the nav computer, it was a sweet joke and they'd cruise around before going home. I thought the whole point of the sequence was that we DON'T know if it worked and never will. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 09:58, 7 November 2018 (EST)
:I observed the first point and forgot to include it in the article; I actually read it as being an error, and that it was meant to say "500 ''million'' Lunarians," a restatement of the previous fact by Minimus in different words, rather than referring to two separate things.
:But on the other point, no, you've just misread that. That's showing us the other side of the coin. The ship was ''supposed'' to jump back to Cybertron, which "our" crew did; the last pages are the duplicates who instead materialized at some unknown point somewhere off the map. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 10:09, 7 November 2018 (EST)
::I'm gonna hop into this lil' debate - I think the tone of Roberts' letter at the end makes it pretty clear that this other crew DOES pull it off, and WILL be having adventures, and that the universe without a Lost Light that they've jumped into is like, ours, man. Wow. Heavy. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] ([[User talk:Hooper X|talk]]) 12:23, 7 November 2018 (EST)
:::Yeah, it's not showing us a "what if." I feel it's pretty unambiguously showing us the Duplicate Lost Light that was actually successfully created. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] ([[User talk:ItsWalky|talk]]) 13:44, 7 November 2018 (EST)
::::The fact that it's explicitly noted the navigation computer is going "404 location not found" pretty much makes it utterly clear, even if everything else does't. - [[User:TBR|TBR]] ([[User talk:TBR|talk]]) 17:33, 7 November 2018 (EST)

Also, like, on another topic, I didn't get the feeling that ALL the Lunarians were Rung-ish, just the one who took the helmet off. But maybe I'm missing a clue, I dunno. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] ([[User talk:ItsWalky|talk]]) 13:44, 7 November 2018 (EST)
:The one who takes his helmet off is separate from the guy flying Rodimus. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 13:50, 7 November 2018 (EST)
::Yeah, there's at least ''two'' Rung-alikes, so it's pretty heavily implied, at least, that Lunarians are "Children of Primus". Which makes you wonder what would have happened if it really had been ''Rodimus'' who had reignited the hotspot... - [[User:TBR|TBR]] ([[User talk:TBR|talk]]) 17:33, 7 November 2018 (EST)
:::Oh god no, imagine so many Rodimusses... Rodimii? among the real Rodimus. It will either result in him being proud because "everything has to be in the shape of my face", or he will end up in a depression because there are so many of him, which by extension makes him less noticeable. [[User:Jirr'kel|Shockblaster's Hideout]] ([[User talk:Jirr'kel|talk]]) 04:17, 8 November 2018 (EST)
::::Also, Ambus's comment that the Lunarians are blending in so well that he wishes they'd stand out more implies they share Rung's forgettability. -- [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] ([[User talk:Dark T Zeratul|talk]]) 05:23, 1 February 2019 (EST)

==Warren time travel==
The idea that Rodimus's team went forward in time in the Warren is a great fix to the time disparity between Lost Light and rest of IDW, but it has a snag of its own. The Scavangers DIDN'T use a time-bendy method to get to Mederi, and it really doesn't feel like they were stuck in that cell for years when Nautica found them. On the other hand, it doesn't feel like years have past since the defeat of the Functionists and Prowl's visit. - [[User:Zandergb|Zandergb]] ([[User talk:Zandergb|talk]]) 18:37, 7 November 2018 (EST)
:That's not a problem for the Scavengers, though, because they're not the ones claiming only a month has passed. They can have gone through their "Revolution" story, spent a few more years travelling, then go through the events of #14-15. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 18:48, 7 November 2018 (EST)
::Both the Scavangers and Rodimus's team departed for Mederi around the same time. LL #12 had Getaway use Warren to get to "Cyberutopia" and the Scavengers use Agonizer's portal to get to Troja Major. #13 had Rodimus's tracking of Getaway fail, presumably because of Getaway's Warren journey. #14-15 has Nickel trying to call Deathsaurus after being blown into the portal, and then the Scavengers being teleported to Mederi relatively soon after. #16 tells us that Rodimus's team used the Warren right after the events of #13. So both #13/#16's flashback and #14-15 happen right after #12, which brings us back to either the Warren providng a time skip and the Scavengers being trapped for years, or both groups arriving around the same time and there being a (regular) time skip between #24 and the earliest bits of #25. [[User:Zandergb|Zandergb]] ([[User talk:Zandergb|talk]]) 14:44, 8 November 2018 (EST)
:::You're presuming the Scavengers stuff in #12 occurs concurrently, in the same time period, as the other stuff. Presume it doesn't, and this ceases to be a problem! - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 16:22, 8 November 2018 (EST)
::::But it does, the battle the Scavangers stumble upon is the same one that Getaway refuses to respond to in #11. [[User:Zandergb|Zandergb]] ([[User talk:Zandergb|talk]]) 09:59, 9 November 2018 (EST)
:::::I'm half-kidding in all of this because it's obviously all a balls-up, but to play the game a bit, since we know that the Lost Light makes multiple trips through the Warren, we can't conclusively conclude that it's the Warren transit from #12 that takes them to Cyberutopia that is the one Rodimus loses track of them after. We could, for instance, presume that's simply an unseen Warren jump that moves the Lost Light from the "present" into the "future" in which they are location when they later turn down the distress call from Frayus.- [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 11:07, 9 November 2018 (EST)

==Nautica's "omission"==
Last few edits got me thinking on this. I always took Swerve lamenting a regrettable omission from Nautica's book as her not mentioning Skids (cuz, y'know, she doesn't really care that much about him anymore and Swerve obviously does.) But clearly this is up to interpretation as those edits demonstrate. Does anyone have a more definite answer on what Swerve is referring to? [[User:Nu-Priest|Nu-Priest]] ([[User talk:Nu-Priest|talk]]) 09:58, 9 September 2023 (EDT)
:I think the fact it specifies "at the end" heavily suggests that it's about the quantum jump, but I suppose if there's confusion it might be worth laying out the possibilities on the page. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 13:16, 9 September 2023 (EDT)

== Time to Ratchet’s funeral ==

Did the issue ever indicate a specific duration (or even a rough approximation) between the quantum jump and Ratchet’s funeral? Another page (can’t remember which) states “centuries”, but this seems long to me, particularly if we consider the homing of the Lunarians (I know 500 m is a lot, but surely it wouldn’t take ''centuries''). Other pages, including the timeline page, just say “many years later”. [[User:Magaroja|Doc Chloroplast]] ([[User talk:Magaroja|talk]]) 12:57, 9 March 2026 (EDT)

'''It's every bot out for themself as Autobots race against Decepticons to press the button that will allow them to win!'''

==Synopsis==
A green light shines in the desert, indicating the beginning of a challenge. [[Optimus Prime (Cyberworld)|Optimus Prime]], [[Elita-1 (Cyberworld)|Elita-1]], and [[Bumblebee (Cyberworld)|Bumblebee]] tiredly stumble upon this challenge and enter it, hoping it will be easy. Much to their displeasure, they soon find out that the game appears to be glitched, and all three fall through the sand and into the game's arena. The arena is a dark space filled with floating platforms that surround a larger platform with a button at its center. The fall seems to trigger another flashback from Optimus, one in which the purple power-up from earlier features prominently. After [[Grimlock (Cyberworld)|Grimlock]] and [[Mirage (Cyberworld)|Mirage]] also fall in, Grimlock sarcastically remarks that Prime isn't looking all that good, and Mirage continues, stating that this whole program feels off. [[Starscream (Cyberworld)|Starscream]], [[Sky-Byte (Cyberworld)|Sky-Byte]], and [[Megatron (Cyberworld)|Megatron]] land next, with Elita none too happy about the appearance of Sky-Byte. Megatron takes a brief moment to comment about the convenience of all the bots he wants offline being in one room, and verbally spars with Starscream before the fight begins.

With all the contestants assembled, the game can finally start, and the [[Narrator]] tells everyone that they must press the button in the center of the battlefield to win. Bumblebee goes first, recklessly stepping onto a red platform, which falls to the abyss beneath his feet, forcing him to quickly move to a blue platform. Megatron begins shortly after Bee, jumping through the floating patches of ground like it's second nature, only coming to a stop when the platform in front of him turns red. Starscream took this opportunity to try and eliminate Megatron, but he was soon kicked into Optimus, triggering Prime's second round of flashbacks for the day. Megatron proceeds to press the button that is now within his reach, but due to being in its blue "treat" phase, it gives all his foes a power boost instead of eliminating them like he had hoped. Emboldened by his increased strength, Mirage tries to take on Megatron, only to be quickly thrown into the abyss and removed from the competition.

Starscream attempts to menace Optimus, but is convinced by Prime to assist in fighting Megatron instead. Optimus leads the charge, making Megatron think that he's clashing with Optimus, only for Starscream to launch a surprise attack. After a brief exchange of blows between all three of them, the Decepticon leader comes out on top, taking the time to gloat at Optimus. Starscream, however, manages to surprise Megatron once more by grabbing him, triumphantly announcing to Megs that his nemesis has won. Megatron knocks Starscream off of him with ease, explaining that Starscream is not his nemesis; Optimus Prime is. The truth enrages Starscream, causing him to lunge at Megatron, hurling them both into the pit below.

Elita-1 reaches the center platform soon after, with Sky-Byte not far behind her. Much to Optimus's protests, Elita presses the button while it's on its red "trick" phase, causing all the red platforms to start falling, including the ones Bumblebee and Grimlock are standing on. Distraught, Optimus runs after his fellow Autobots while Elita shoots at Sky-Byte's grappling hook, preventing him from latching on to a platform and causing him to be eliminated. Elita then goes to follow Optimus, but he tells her to guard the center platform. With Elita agreeing to keep watch and Bumblebee assuring him of his well-being, Optimus moves to help Grimlock, who is unable to get off the edge of the platform he's on. Unfortunately for both of them, Grimlock's platform gives way soon after Optimus arrives. Optimus quickly grabs another platform, but can barely hang on to it. Grimlock tells Optimus to let him go and Optimus does, joining the others in the center as they watch Megatron and Starscream fight.

Bumblebee presses the button while it's red to try to get the two Decepticons eliminated. As the room is filled with vision-hindering smoke, Optimus has a third flashback, causing him to press the button while it's blue. The button press sets off the challenge's win condition, and with Starscream being defeated previously, Optimus, Bumblebee, Elita, and Megatron are declared winners. Megatron tells Optimus that his hesitation is a weakness before they are separated. Back in the jungle, Megatron spots a large flying creature. Meanwhile, Optimus's memories continue to surge forth, and Elita asks him if he's alright.

I recommend removing this note; not only do we not know how Chip came to be a wheelchair user, but also he may be perfectly fine with remaining as such.

'''After defeating the Stunticons, five of the Autobots pose as the crazed combiners to learn of Megatron's newest plan.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:Masquerade prime vs mmaster.jpg‎|left|thumb|Shortly after this, Menasor threw up.]]
[[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] sends the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] on a mission to find components for an unrevealed purpose, including the world's largest, most perfect ruby. While searching for their components, the actions of the Stunticons catch the attention of the [[Autobot]]s, who track their movements and their crimes. Breakdown and Wildrider get the first component: laser lenses from a scientist. Dead End and Drag Strip get the second component: an experimental generator from the Army. Motormaster gets the last one: a perfect ruby from a museum.

The Autobots split into teams and manage to be extremely effective at capturing the Stunticons in the middle of their capers. [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]], [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]], and [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] take on [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] and [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]]. [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]] and [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] take on [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] and [[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Strip]]. Finally, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]], [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blaster]], and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]] go for [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]], who challenges the [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]] to a game of “chicken” and ends up in a head-on collision. Spike, Bumblebee, and Blaster peer through the dust to see who survived, and it turns out that Optimus is the clear victor with merely a minor headache, while Motormaster lies in a wreck.

[[File:Masquerade Wheeljack Optimaster.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|No Motormaster disguise is complete without a hunk of Big League Chew.]]

Although all five Stunticons have been captured, the Autobots still don't know what their plans were for the components they stole for Megatron. [[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]] guesses that the parts are going to be made into a weapon. (Nooo, really?) Optimus hatches a scheme to disguise Autobots using [[camouflage paint]] and penetrate the Decepticon camp disguised as Stunticons: Optimus Prime as Motormaster, [[Jazz (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Jazz]] as Dead End, [[Sideswipe (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Sideswipe]] as Breakdown, [[Mirage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Mirage]] as Drag Strip, and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] as Wildrider.

[[File:Sideswipe FakeBreakdown.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Sideswipe? I, Breakdown, have never heard of such a being!]]

The disguised Autobots infiltrate the Decepticons, although their arrival causes [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|some]] raised eyebrows because they are driving too "safely". They deliver the stolen components to Megatron without being detected.

Back at [[Ark (G1)|Autobot Headquarters]], the Stunticons manage to shimmy and shake their way out of their cells, merge into [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and overcome their Autobot captors. They then head back to the Decepticon base.

[[File:Masquerade Megatron manning gun.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|We've been here before.]]

The Constructicons complete Megatron's new weapon, and he reveals its power, but just then Menasor arrives and declares the Autobots as infiltrators. Using Windcharger's magnetic field ability and Mirage's illusion power, the Autobots merge into their own Menasor. The two giants battle it out, and the Autobots are overcome. Megatron trains the new weapon on the Autobots, but the device blows up in his face after a few scattered shots.

Autobot reinforcements arrive, and the Decepticons flee without their usual promises for revenge. It is revealed that Ironhide had made adjustments to the ruby back at Autobot HQ, which caused the device to explode. The Autobots head for home, victorious.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
[[File:Masquerade Jazz camouflage paint.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
[[File:Soundwave fly.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Huh? Tape-bot cannot fly!]]
*It's never explained just how the Autobots disguise themselves. Sideswipe says something about camouflage paint and the Autobots are transformed, details and all, into the Stunticons. It's apparently some high-tech stuff, because it even lets Optimus totally change his transformation scheme. And it just turns right off once Optimus decides the jig is up.
*Gadgets and powers:
**Wildrider shows his...well...amazing maneuverability by doing a sharp turn to avoid Inferno, Grapple & Hoist and dodging a blast from Inferno. Well, he is a lunatic after all.
**Breakdown uses his unique engine to cause vibratory pulses to disrupt his bars and break free. He later uses his concussion rifle with similar technique to help other Stunticons get out.
**Soundwave informs us that Menasor has "special powers"... which seem to consist of a couple of under-arm mounted guns.
**Sideswipe and Mirage both fire their shoulder missiles, which the writers and animators usually seem to forget about.
**Soundwave can fly in his tape deck mode! When the Decepticons retreat, he transforms and then flies off behind Starscream. It is tempting to assume that the animators took a script direction like "the Decepticons transform and fly off in retreat" a bit too literally.
**Mirage can project a hologram of Menasor's face. This runs contrary to his usual schtick, which is invisibility. His original bio described him as being able to create "the illusion of a different appearance" for up to six minutes, but this is the only time it pops up in the cartoon (presumably because holograms were Hound's gimmick... though per the bio, Hound's great power is to create ''maps'', and simple images on rare occasions.)
*Breakdown's leaky pump has been addressed as his weakness (along with his paranoia). This is also mentioned in his toy bio, his ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)|Universe]]'' and ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' profiles.
*Megatron explains his weapon-du-jour thusly: "The most destructive weapon known to Decepticon science...Utilizing that ruby's light, focused through those perfect lenses, it will fire the most destructive ray of all. More powerful than any laser, it will create a chain reaction in whatever it touches... producing instantaneous destruction." Based on the animation, this appears to be a long-winded way of saying "It blows up rocks."
*Hasn't Megatron learned his lesson about building [[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|giant superlasers that can't be moved]]? [[B.O.T. (episode)|Apparently not]]!
*Megatron's line "Suggestion noted...AND IGNORED!" when Soundwave warns him would be revisited during the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' episode "[[Nemesis Part 2]]" when his [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|namesake]] utters those exact sentiments to [[Dinobot II]] on board the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]''.
*Two scenes deleted from this episode feature the individual Stunticons talking with each other ''while'' combined as Menasor, only for Menasor himself to then silence all of his components, because their chatter is confusing him! Even without this dialogue, the finished episode portrays Menasor as almost adorably dumb and easily bamboozled - utterly baffled, for example, when Prime accuses him of being an imposter.
*This episode marks the final appearances of [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]], and [[Sideswipe (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Sideswipe]] in the American version of the original ''Transformers'' cartoon.

===Real-life references===
*''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' sound effects:
**''[[Millennium Falcon]]'' engine roar as Laserbeak flies over the faux Stunticons.
**A lengthy sequence of borrowed effects follows as Laserbeak flies onwards - sounds include the ''Falcon'' engine burst, a [[TIE Fighter]]'s targeting computer, [[Death Star]] superlaser, and ''Falcon'' engine whine. As he returns to Soundwave, he gets another ''Falcon'' engine burst.
**''Falcon'' engine and [[X-wing Fighter|X-Wing]] diving whine as Menasor flies away from Autobot Headquarters.
**X-Wing and TIE Fighter roar as the Constructicons fly off... and again as Menasor flies off... and again as Starscream and Soundwave fly off.
**A variety of [[lightsaber]] noises as Megatron fires his super not-a-laser weapon.

===Animation and technical errors===
*Coloring errors:
**As Motormaster hands out assignments, Drag Strip has a random rectangle drawn in the middle of his visor, and Dead End's face is miscolored - his mouthplate is light gray instead of yellow, and his visor is red instead of purple.
**As Optimus gets his idea after watching the broadcast, the triangles on his waist are gray instead of yellow.
**As Laserbeak returns to Soundwave, Soundwave is missing his Decepticon insignia, as well as the gold stripes around his cassette door (which is drawn too small as well). He also doesn't move his mouthplate when he speaks.
**As "Motormaster" (Optimus) drives up to Megatron, his door is colored purple like his windows (and his window rims are colored purple too.) A shot later, it's back to black, but the ''next'' shot (Starscream asking about his voice) shows his grille as black instead of gray. The same thing happens as the real Motormaster busts out of the Autobot cell.
**Just after dismissing the Constructicons, Megatron's face is white.
**"And the Autobots are totally unaware of its existence" - "Breakdown" is colored as Sideswipe. (Of course, he IS Sideswipe, but should be... oh, you get the point.)
**As "Motormaster" (Optimus) asks about the weapon, Megatron's forehead colors are reversed (black forehead with gray triangles).
**As "Motormaster" (Optimus) says, "Too many head-on collisions!", his headlights are black instead of white.
**"Motormaster"'s black grille returns again as Megatron explains the weapon, recurring in numerous shots.
**Soundwave's cheekguards and eject button are both blue instead of white as Starscream mocks Megatron.
**Soundwave's missing the gold rim around his tape door as he and Starscream move toward the impostor Stunticons.
**"No, he's the imposter!" - "Drag Strip" is missing his Decepticon symbol (and possibly some striping, depending on which color model you trust.)
**"There's one absolute test, 'Stunticons'" - Dead End's tires are white; Soundwave's cheekguards are blue instead of white again. The same error repeats when Starscream calls out for Menasor to destroy the Autobots.[[File:Masquerade Megatron manning gun.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
**When Megatron first grabs the laser, he's colored in reverse (light gray body with a dark gray face).
**Drag Strip is white instead of yellow as Menasor swings his sword. When Menasor hits the fake with the sword, Drag Strip is attached backwards, with his wheels pointing outward.
**When "Motormaster" reverts to Optimus Prime, his headlights aren't colored white and he's missing the horizontal lines on the crest of his helmet.
**"No need for the disguises anymore" - Prime's face is a darker gray than his mouthplate in most of this shot; they should be the same tone. For a second, the faceplate darkens then lightens again.
**When the Autobots begin firing on Menasor, his face is entirely black.
**Just before Megatron fires the laser, Windcharger is miscoloured in green and gray (with yellow stripes on his arms, like Hound).
**As he stares at the destroyed weapon, Sideswipe's fist is white instead of black.
*When Motormaster says "Breakdown and Wildrider", he points to each robot as he says the other's name.
*The Stunticons land on a beach and each of them kicks up sand when they land. A few moments later, they transform and drive off, and no sand is disturbed by their tires.
*The Stunticons clearly never had detailed transformation models worked out:
**Every time the four cars transform to [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], they more or less just morph into their Earth forms. When they transform back to [[robot mode]], all the robot bits just slide out from under their car modes, which disappear into their backs.
**Motormaster's transformation is similarly wonky; his arms are just kind of absorbed lengthwise into his torso, which then morphs into his trailer - rather than the arms ''becoming'' the trailer's roof, as they should. Every time he transforms, his trailer/torso rather blatantly changes color from light to dark gray (or vice versa.)
*Ventriloquist bots:
**Ratchet's voice actor in this episode is [[Wally Burr]], not the usual [[Don Messick]], and it shows. Burr uses the same generic deep voice he used for Thundercracker in "[[War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn]]" and Jazz in "[[Kremzeek!]]".
**"Yeah, but I don't have to like it" - Ironhide's mouth doesn't move for the first part of this line.
**Menasor's mouth doesn't move as he says his own name.
**As he flies off to "Destroy fake Stunticons", Menasor's mouth - again - doesn't move.
**As Bumblebee says, "Great Cybertron," Spike is mouthing the words.
**The Autobot Menasor gets knocked to the ground, but one who delivers "The generator..." line in Optimus' voice is the one standing up (with the sky behind him).
*Wildrider is missing his transformation sound effect as he approaches the optics shop; Breakdown does get one a second later.
*The experimental generator is inordinately tiny when it's sitting on the flatbed truck.
*Motormaster somehow transforms into (a ''tiny'') truck mode while still inside the museum. Also, a moment later as he drives away, he has a dark gray stripe on his trailer that shouldn't be there.
*After Inferno extinguishes Breakdown's burning fuel pump, the Stunticon's rear spoiler is missing. It returns in the next shot.
*While firing on Drag Strip, Warpath is shown driving forward while his treads are stationary.
*As Tracks goes into flight mode, the sandy beach suddenly has squares on it for one shot (as if it were pavement).
*As Motormaster comes into view before the crash with Prime, his bumper extends to the sides of his trailer rather than the sides of his cab.
*When rushing to inspect the aftermath of Optimus and Motormaster's game of chicken, Spike exclaims "I can't see anythi-". Before he can spit out "ng," Blaster cuts him off saying "I'm not getting any radio response."
*After the crash, just before Optimus transforms into robot mode, his cab's grille is missing the vertical line in the middle. His subsequent transformation looks very crude, especially around his legs.
*Blaster contacts the other Autobots and his chest lights up, but during Warpath's report it's no longer flashing.
[[File:G1 cartoon Motormaster slagged.JPG|thumb|upright=1.1]]
*As often happens, the animators mistake Motormaster's panel lines for the start of a second trailer. It's particularly visible in the last shot of his wrecked form after his collision with Prime.
*Optimus strokes his faceplate during the discussion of the Stunticons' plans, and his finger disappears for a moment.
*The broadcast of the doctor's announcement shows a building with the word "OPTCS" behind him. Earlier it was correctly shown as "REPUBLIC ''OPTICS'' COMPANY".
*The doctor's bow tie has grown to twice the size when he appears on TV.
*Jazz's waist is huge as he stands outside the paint chamber.
*When approaching the crater, Jazz appears to be driving above and not under rocks, and as Windcharger breaks formation to test their disguises, he clips into the cliff edge above them. In the same shot, "Wildrider"'s windows are the same gray as his body, rather than red.
[[File:Huge Ironhide and Small Ratchet.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Introducing Ultra class Ironhide and Scout class Ratchet.]]
*As a result of animation cels being stacked incorrectly, Ratchet appears teeny-tiny in the front of a crowd shot, making Ironhide look colossal by comparison. The tiny Ratchet should, of course, be (barely visible) at the ''back'' of the crowd.
[[File:Masquerade-menasor-modelchange.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Model make no sense! Menasor confused."]]
*Menasor's limbs:
**When the Stunticons combine at Autobot Headquarters, Motormaster transforms to robot mode... and then the other Stunticons just clip onto him, rather than forming additional new limbs. Of course, it kinda sorta fits with the screwed-up way Menasor is often drawn, but this version has ''Motormaster's feet''.
**During his escape, Menasor constantly changes back and forth between having Dead End and Drag Strip attached ''to'' his arms, and having them ''as'' his arms. (It should be the latter.)
**As Menasor lands at the crater, two successive shots show him from exactly the same angle. In the first, his Drag Strip arm is drawn as the "clip-onto-Motormaster" model... and in the very next shot, it's drawn as the "Drag Strip forms the whole arm" model.
*When Menasor takes off to warn Megatron, he has a purple [[Autobot]] insignia.
*Menasor's under-arm lasers only appear when the plot calls for them - when he fires them in Autobot Headquarters, and again when he fires them on the fake Menasor. The first time, they're dark gray; the second time, they're white.
*Mirage's Autobot symbol is missing as he transforms.
*The weapon's beam comes from ''beside'' the barrel, rather than coming out of it.

===Continuity errors===
[[File:G1 Masquerade Warpath crushes DeadEnd.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Bad day for Dead End...as usual]]
[[File:Masquerade BreakdownWildriderdefeated.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|It seems someone got his driver's license revocated...again]]
*During their construction in "[[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1]]", Megatron notes that he has outfitted the Stunticons with "automatic force fields that make their hulls impenetrable", which accounts for how well they did in battle. Yet in this episode they are easily taken down by second string Autobots, including non-fighters such as Grapple and Hoist. Warpath even manages to simply punch right through Dead End! Optimus Prime only suffers a slight headache after colliding with Motormaster, who is wrecked! Clearly they have been skimping on their scheduled maintenance.
*Motormaster's [[transformation scheme]] greatly differs from that of Optimus Prime - yet after donning his Motormaster disguise, Optimus transforms exactly like Motormaster does. (However bizarre this seems, it was clearly scripted - so we also count it as a possible technology, under Continuity Notes above.)
*The Stunticons are all badly beaten up after their capture. But when they escape, they're suddenly in perfect shape - able to drive, transform, combine and fight with no problems.
*"The weapon [is] but minutes from completion. And then..." "And then... what?" A fine question, indeed! Megatron's crazy laser thing is stuck down in the bottom of a crater, with no obvious way to move about or blow up anything that doesn't come popping down into the crater.
*The Autobots account for their ability to merge (Windcharger's magnetic field) and for the fake Menasor's face (Mirage's hologram) but where do they get working ''hands'' for their fake Menasor?

===Sci-Fi Channel edits===
*In the mid-1990s, many G1 episodes were aired on the [[Cartoon Quest|SciFi]] [[Animation Station|Channel]]. To allow expanded advertising time, they were edited down, cutting "unnecessary" dialog and scenes out. Some of the "unnecessary" dialog cut from this episode included parts of Grapple and Inferno's lines, resulting in them collectively uttering "Time to add firobably hate myself in the morning, but..."

===Trivia===
[[File:Dragstripcartoon.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"Dead End and Drag Strip, your job is to upsell."]]
*In full sell-my-toy mode, Motormaster gives a quick introdump at the episode's start, naming off his troops, and then ''again'' a moment later as he hands out assignments.
*In case you missed it, the Autobots chosen to impersonate the Stunticons are based specifically on [[alternate mode]]s. Given this attention to detail, it's not infeasible to think that the plot of this episode may have originally called for the Autobots to simply have their alternate modes painted, since they consistently refrain from transforming once in the Decepticon camp:
**Although the specific models don't line up, Prime and Motormaster both transform into semi trucks
**Jazz and Dead End are both Porsches
**Sideswipe and Breakdown are both Lamborghinis
**Mirage and Drag Strip are both Formula 1 race cars (albeit very different-looking ones)
**And.... weeeeell, Windcharger's a Pontiac Firebird and Wildrider's a Ferrari, but the plot demanded Windcharger for his magnetic abilities. This would also explain why a different device, a projector of some sort, is used to disguise him rather than the camouflage paint.
*Whether by inspiration or by parallel reasoning, several toy redecos have followed the pattern of this episode:
**''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[:File:ClassicsLOCMenasor.jpg|Menasor]] is a [[redeco]] from ''[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends of Cybertron]]'' [[:File:LOC CybertronPrime.jpg|Optimus Prime]], [[Transformers: Generations#Asian market exclusives .28.22GDO.22.29|GDO]] [[:File:GenerationsMotorbreathToy.jpg|Motorbreath]] is a retool of ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[:File:TF2010-toy Legends Optimus Prime.jpg|Optimus Prime]] and ''Animated'' Motor Master is a retool of ''Animated'' Optimus Prime. ''[[Transformers: Generations#Combiner Wars .282015-.29|Combiner Wars]]'' Voyager class [[:File:GenerationsVoyOP.jpg|Optimus Prime]] also got [[:File:Generations-CW Voyager Motormaster stock.jpg|a Motormaster retool]].
**''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[:File:Universe2008 DragStrip.jpg|Drag Strip]] is made from ''Classics'' [[:File:Classics Mirage toy.jpg|Mirage]]. ''Combiner Wars'' [[:File:CWDlxMirage.jpg|Mirage]] is also a [[:File:Generationstoy-Dragstrip.jpg|Dragstrip]] retool.
**At one point there was intended to be a ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Binaltech]]'' [[Wildrider (G1)#Notes|Wildrider]] created from ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[:File:AltWindcharger toy.jpg|Windcharger]] (or rather, his ''Binaltech'' [[:File:Binaltech Overdrive Toy.jpg|counterpart]]), but that never eventuated.
**[[Don Figueroa]] used ''Universe'' [[:File:Universe2008 SideSwipe toy.jpg|Sideswipe]] as a basis for the [[2005 IDW continuity]] version of Breakdown, and the toy's mold was used for both the ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[BotCon 2010]] [[:File:BreakdownBotcon.JPG|''Generation 2''-esque Breakdown]] toy and the ''Timelines'' [[Transformers Collectors' Club|TFCC:]] [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service|TFSS]] [[:File:TFSS Preview Breakdown.jpg|Generation 1-esque Breakdown]] toys! Furthermore, ''Animated'' Breakdown uses the same mold as ''Animated'' Sideswipe (the Rodimus Minor mold).
**''[[Titanium Series]]'' [[:File:ROTF-toy DeadEndTitanium.jpg|live-action movie Dead End]] reuses [[:File:Movie TitaniumRM Jazz.jpg|live-action movie Jazz]]'s mold, while the ''Timelines'' toy of an [[:File:Animated Dead End Toy.JPG|''Animated''-esque Dead End]] is a redeco of ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' [[:File:Ani-toy Jazz Deluxe.jpg|Jazz]].
** By 2017, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Combiner Wars|Optimus Prime]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Mirage]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|Jazz]] had all received ''Combiner Wars'' style toy releases.
*Optimus's "And then... what?" is apparently a rare instance of hearing a character's thoughts, since he says it in his own voice while sitting right next to Megatron, still in his Motormaster disguise.
*If any one episode served to cement Megatron's poor reputation among certain (more snarky) elements of the fandom, this is surely it. He comes up with a madcap scheme to build a useless weapon, doesn't listen to any of his troops' rather intelligent suggestions, insults his underlings for no reason, misses the obvious, toys with his enemies, pouts when he loses, and flies off with nothing in the end.
*Man, Starscream saw through the whole charade in about two seconds, didn't he?

===Foreign localization===
'''French'''
:*''Title:'' "'''Mascarade'''" ("Masquerade")
:*''Original airdate:'' ?
::*All the logo transitions were cut. It is unknown if it was that way for the original broadcast or if the episode was chopped for the DVD release.
::*A new, slight voice deformation is added, only on Megatron's voice. It will stay for next episode.
::*When Spike sees Optimus Prime disguised, he says "Man, Optimus. If I hadn't see you transform, I would be scared", and Optimus Prime answers "Anyway, you're scared just looking at yourself in the mirror". Excuse me, what ??
::*The Autobots disguised as Stunticons keep the voice actors of the Autobots. Among them, [[Francis Lax]] talks in his joined hands to create a "filter" and disguise his voice to be Motormaster.
::*Like in ''[[Starscream's Brigade#Foreign localization|Starscream's Brigade]]'', Francis Lax makes a reference to his own creations. When Optimus Prime is disguised as Motormaster, he calls Megatron "chef vénéré" ("revered boss"). In the French dubbing of ''{{w|Starsky & Hutch}}'', Lax dubbed Hutch, and that nickname was always used by the two protagonists for Captain Dobey.
::*For some reason, Megatron's line "There's one absolute test, Stunticons. Merge and become Menasor!" is replaced by "There's one thing the Decepticons can't stand, and that's when someone dares to mess with them. And you will understand it!". Consequently, it makes the scene look like the Autobots form Menasor as a last chance rather than to obey Megatron.
::*As a consequence, Starscream's line "Well, we are waiting" is dubbed by "Are we really going to get angry for so little?", and what's more with [[François Leccia]]'s voice just for that line.
::*Optimus Prime's final line "Let's roll out!" is replaced by "And now...", but the phrase is not finished.
::*Name-dodging:
:::*Motormaster does not say the names of the Stunticons, they just salute in silence.
:::*When making the groups, Motormaster still does not name them. Instead, he says "That's where we part ways as planned. I hope that everyone remembers their mission. Each of you has to seize a component".
:::*Motormaster is simply called "the Stunticon" several times.
:::*Optimus Prime's line "Blaster, contact the others" becomes "Now, contact the others". During that report, the Autobots don't say their names or those of the Stunticons they got.
:::*Ratchet does not explain who is who after disguising the Autobots. Instead, he tells Optimus "Admit that one might have doubts seeing such perfection. I hope you guys can hold on until the end", and Mirage adds "Never forget that Mirage exists".
::*Missing lines:
:::*The soldier's line "Careful men, we don't even want to scratch that experimental generator!" is missing.
:::*The first museum guard does not say anything. Only the second one talks when he hears the truck.
:::*Breakdown and Wildrider do not talk when driving to the Autobots. However, Wildrider's line "I think we are going to have a little fun" is present.
:::*Wildrider's line "Don't worry Breakdown, help is on the way!" is absent.
:::*Dead End and Drag Strip stay silent while driving on the beach. However, Dead End says "Well, that seems interesting!" but Drag Strip does not answer and starts shooting.
:::*Warpath does not say anything during the battle.
:::*Wildrider's line "Guess it's all up to me now" is missing.
:::*Optimus Prime's does not say anything while waiting for Motormaster. The latter also stays silent while arriving, but finally says "The king of the road will soon be good for scrap, you'll see!". Then the two battle in silence.
:::*When the Autobots tow the Stunticons to their base, most of the dialogue is absent. The only line is Breakdown saying "This kind of situation is so annoying!".
:::*The Autobots do not say anything during ''one minute and twenty seconds'', while driving to the Decepticon base, being escorted by Laserbeak and observing the Constructicons.
:::*Soundwave's line "Laserbeak, return!" is missing. Predictable, since most of the time, Laserbeak's name is one of the most dodged in the dub.
:::*The conversation between the disguised Autobots at the top of the pit is missing, as well as the ones during the descent.
:::*While escaping, the Stunticons all say their respective lines, except Breakdown for some reason.
:::*The conversation between the Autobots trying to be a good Menasor is replaced by Francis Lax, who dubs the fake Menasor, making weird effort noises.
:::*Optimus Prime's line "Move!" is missing.

'''Starscream''' has a copious quantity of merchandise.

==HG Toys==
[[File:Hgtoys starscream products.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]

Licensor [[HG Toys]] released quite a few pieces of ''Transformers'' merchandise in 1984, including several sculpted in Starscream's likeness. All of these items shared the same basic sculpt, modified to fit the piece of merchandise in question.

*'''Stamp Bot''' (1984)

:A small, non-poseable figurine of Starscream with a rubber stamp on the base. An alternate version of Starscream was also available with fewer paint applications and ''Autobot'' symbols on its wings!

*'''Zipper Clip''' (1984)

:A smaller version of the Starscream sculpt, designed to be attached to a coat zipper.

*'''Clip On''' (1984)

:A pocket clip depicting Starscream.

==3-D Jigsaw Stand Up Puzzle==

[[File:Standup starscream puzzle.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]

*'''Starscream''' (1984)

:Released by [[Warren (company|Warren]], this piece of Starscream merchandise was a [[jigsaw puzzle]] in disguise! This 75 piece puzzle forms a 13" by 20" battle scene of Starscream, [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] battling [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]. Once broken down, 28 of these pieces could be assembled into a three-dimensional model of Starscream standing over 8" tall in [[robot mode]] as well as being assembled into [[alternate mode|jet mode]]—a progenitor of the [[3D Battle-Card Game]] in many respects!

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Milk caramel starscream.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Starscream''' (1985)
:One of [[Kabaya]]'s first Transformers [[candy toy]] lines, the ''Transformers Milk Caramel'' series featured small rubber figures, similar to the later-released [[Decoy]]s, but smaller, flatter and based more on the toys, rather than their animation models. Starscream was available in numerous different colors.
{{-}}

==Transformers Choco==
[[File:Kabaya gashapon starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|No, no, no, I said green ''screen!'']]
*'''Starscream''' (1985)

:One of the first of many snap-together candy toy model kits released by Kabaya during the Generation 1 era, this small version of Starscream was available as in various solid colors as part of the ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' range, coming packaged with small "Chocolate Dots". Owing to its diminutive size, it could only transform between robot and jet modes by being disassembled and put back together in different configurations. The figure was apparently also available through capsule machines.
{{-}}
==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Kabaya gum starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Starscream''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Left and right fists, 2 missile launchers, landing gear

:Starscream was also available as part of the larger ''Transformers Gum'' range of figures. Released in the first wave of the series and standing at about four inches tall, he was moulded from red, black, and grey plastic and featured stickers for detail. Unlike his smaller ''Choco'' counterpart, as was standard for the ''Gum'' figures, he is fully transformable, essentially being a scaled down version of the actual Starscream toy.

:This Starscream figure was later re-released in 1997 by a Korean company named [[Toon Town]], in a two-pack with the "Transformers Gum" version of [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys|Sideswipe]].
{{-}}

[[File:Kabaya-Starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Starscream''' (2011)
:Released in the third wave of the revived ''Transformers Gum'' series in 2010, this transforming model kit of Starscream is made from red, blue, and silver plastic, with stickers for detail. He's based on the ''Henkei'' Starscream release.
{{-}}

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy starscream.jpg|thumb|Not a mis-colored Skywarp]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1985)
: This small purple rubber figurine of Starscream was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Starscream's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for. A peach-colored version of the figure could be found packed in various other multi-packs the following year.

*'''Starscream''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''35'''

: The Starscream figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (35, in Starscream's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

==Parody Deformed==
[[File:Pd starscream.jpg|thumb|"Don't push me, Megatron, my desire for cuteness is as great as yours!"]]
*'''Starscream''' (1990)

:A small red and white, non-transforming [[super deformed]] model kit of Starscream was available as part of [[Kabaya]]'s "[[Parody Deformed]]" line of [[candy toy]]s. The tenth figure in the series, he came with a "[[PDTF Comic]]" comic about himself, "Good Luck! Starscream!!", and something that could charitably be described as "chocolate".

==Super Collection Figure==
[[File:SCF Starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|The clear one makes for a nicely inexpensive "ghost" version if you don't wanna hunt the one below.]]
*'''Starscream''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Starscream was available as part of the first "Act" of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

:This figure was [[redeco]]ed into ''Super Collection Figure'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Skywarp]] (maybe), ''Heroes of Cybertron'' [[Sunstorm (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Sunstorm]] and [[Air Warrior#Heroes of Cybertron|Air Warrior]], and [[retool]]ed to become [[Thrust (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Thrust]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Ramjet]] and [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Dirge]].

{{-}}{{anchor|GhostSCF}}
[[File:SCF ghost starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1]]
*'''Ghost Starscream'''{{fact}} (2001)
**''Act'': '''5'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: Starscream's figurine was recast in translucent plastic and painted in clear-paints to represent his ghostly form from the third season of the Generation 1 cartoon. It was released as a rare "[[chase figure|Secret Figure]]" in the fifth, ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Masterforce]]''-themed wave of the ''Super Collection Figure'' series, packed at a ratio of one in every ten cases (which figure -if any in specific- it replaced in the lucky case is currently unknown).

{{-}}{{anchor|CoronationSCF}}
[[File:SCF Starscream Coronation.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Pre-gray'd for Galvatron's convenience.]]
*'''Coronation Starscream'''{{fact}} (2002)
**''Act'': '''8'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:Starscream was [[retool]]ed for a third and final release in the eighth Act of the ''Super Collection Figure'' line (the last of the "Generation 1" themed Acts). Like the ghost figure, he was only available as a rare "Secret Figure", ''presumably'' released in the same 1-per-every-10-cases ratio as other Secret Figures. This version features a new head and arms with the crown, shoulderpads and cape from his coronation scene in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. He's also rendered in a medium gray plastic rather than the original's bright white.

:Luckily for fans, this version of Starscream saw normal release in Hasbro's ''Heroes of Cybertron'' (see below), a much easier-to-obtain and cheaper option.

{{--}}

==''Heroes of Cybertron''==
[[File:HOC Starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Starscream''' (2002)

:When the ''Super Collection Figure'' series was imported to become Hasbro's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line, the figures were all cast entirely in translucent colored plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of their heads, giving them all a [[light-piping]] gimmick. Unlike the Japanese figures, they were sold in individual blister packaging, with character profile cards.

: Released in the first wave of ''Heroes of Cybertron'', Starscream has a number of small but significant color differences from his initial ''Super Collection Figure'' release (see above). The white has been replaced with a light gray, his face is now medium-gray, his "pec vents" are the same dark gray as his other detailing rather than black, a white stripe has been added to his wing deco (as opposed to unpainted white plastic), the Decepticon symbols are purple rather than the odd blue of the SCF, and the connector points for the wings are light gray rather than torso-matching red. The end result is a figurine that is ''significantly'' more [[show-accuracy|accurate to the original animation model]] than the ''SCF'' version.

*'''Starscream with Crown''' (2002)

:This ''Heroes of Cybertron'' release, in the fifth and final wave of the original line, saw the ''SCF'' chase figure of Starscream in his coronation gear reach a much wider audience. Deco-wise, he is nigh-identical to the ''SCF'' version... well, aside from the obvious "clear plastic painted over" angle, which leaves him in a ''slightly''-brighter medium gray (though still darker than the normal ''Heroes'' release). Much more obvious is that the Decepticon symbols on his wings are now "right-side up," the only version of ''SCF/Heroes'' Starscream to have his symbols this way.

: He also came packaged with the left leg of the fifth wave's [[Metroplex (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Metroplex]] "build-a-figure".

: While the three named Seekers in the set were originally intended to have a sparkly paint job to differentiate them from the normal retail versions, that ended up not happening and they ended up basically the same.

:Released as part of the ''Furai Model'' line by [[Flame Toys]], Starscream is an articulated, non-transforming, Voyager Class-sized {{w|Gunpla}}-style model kit.

:For straight-assembly builders, Starscream features a sheet of foil stickers for detail (notably the wings), though the kit can be panel-lined and touched-up with several panel-lining and paint markers (water/acrylic-based markers are recommended, as alcohol-based markers like ''Gundam Markers'' can potentially damage the ABS plastic). If one desires; the kit's pieces, aside from the translucent parts, can be fully coated with spray paints to recreate the finished sample seen in the stock photos.

{{toydesigner|[[Dennis Chan]] (sculptor)}}

:Released in the third wave of the ''[[Transformers R.E.D.]]'' line, Coronation Starscream is a non-transforming, 6-inch action figure akin to the ones from the ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Legends'' and ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]] The Black Series'' lines. He features over 25 points of articulation and extensive paint operations in an attempt at [[show-accuracy]]... or perhaps that should be ''movie''-accuracy, as Starscream is the first ''R.E.D.'' figure to be based on ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:Starscream includes two pairs of hands: two closed fists, and two open, grandly gesturing hands. As is the norm, he also features two removeable null ray weapons that mount on his biceps, along with two pinkish-purple [[Fire Blast effect|blast effects]] to simulate them firing. And of course, Coronation Starscream would be incomplete without his removeable crown, shoulder pads, and fabric cape accessories to re-enact his signature scene in the movie.

:As with all ''R.E.D.'' toys, Starscream was a Walmart exclusive in Canada and the United States, and was later made available on [[Hasbro Pulse]] in limited quantities.

:This mold, minus the coronation accessories, was used to make ''R.E.D.'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#R.E.D._.5BRobot_Enhanced_Design.5D|Thundercracker]].

*'''Ghost of Starscream''' (2022)
**''Accessories'': 2 arm cannons, smirking alternate head, toy-based alternate head, closed fists (L & R), gripping hands (L & R), "expressive" hands (L & R)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Super7#Transformers ULTIMATES!|Transformers ULTIMATES!]]'' from [[Super7]], Ghost of Starscream is a 7-inch-tall action figure based on Starscream's cartoon model, cast in translucent plastic with glitter mixed into it. He features multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips, and ankles; plus swivel biceps, elbows, knees, and a bit of ab crunch. His hands pop out at the wrists so they can be replaced with his additional spare hands in different poses. He comes with three different replaceable head sculpts: a painted "normal" face, a painted smirking face, and a clear-plastic head based on the original Starscream toy.

: Preorders opened on [[January 29]] 2021, and closed on [[February 28]], with the toys purportedly shipping in winter of that year, but thanks to worldwide manufacturing and shipping delays, actually arriving in May 2022, with buyers finally receiving him in June.

: Reversing the typical release order, the redeco of "Ghost Starscream" now represents the standard living version. Like Ghost Starscream, it includes an alternate head with an angry expression and another that resembles the original toy.

: He comes with the seemingly-standard [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#UltimatesStarscream|pistol Megatron]] accessory, but also a pair of deep-cut additions: the claw-hand Starscream had in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]" and the large machinegun he wielded in "[[The Core]]".

He features two faces (a standard one and a "creepy" one according to the product listing), his ever-present null-ray cannons, and two dagger-like blades. He also features a small assortment of hands, in pairs: closed fists, opened hands, cannon-holding and blade-holding hands.

: That is not shellformering. That's just kibble. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 21:41, 27 April 2010 (EDT)

Should Voyager-Class [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)]] be added? [[User:Inkblot|Inkblot]] 09:45, 10 December 2011 (EST)

== Under-3 ==

Seriously... the ultimate shellformer. Right?--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] ([[User talk:Nevermore|talk]]) 06:04, 19 July 2016 (EDT)

== Picking on the size classes meant for younger fans ==

I really don't think we should have the McDonald's toy, the One-Step Changer, the Turbo Changer, or any other toy from a size class that is generally simplified for younger fans. We should, of course, make a note that such size classes often have shellformers, but putting them in the gallery with toys from size classes that are generally larger and more complex isn't fair to them. It's one thing for us to make fun of the Ultra Class Big Convoy for being a shellformer, but literally putting Under-3 right next to him seems a little cruel to the latter. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 14:41, 18 October 2018 (EDT)
:Absolutely. The entire POINT of figures like that is that they are designed to be ultra simplistic figures that shellform and the like. A mention is warranted, but not full inclusion.
:(And yes, I know the bigger toys are technically designed to shellform too. You know what I mean.) [[User:Crossfire|'''Cross''']][[User talk:Crossfire|'''fire''']] 20:19, 18 October 2018 (EDT)
::I'm confused by the notion that this article is "making fun" of anything. Although I agree that Under-3 doesn't really fit in. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 21:14, 18 October 2018 (EDT)

== Siege Starscream ==

I don't know if he's as extreme as some of the other examples here; the nosecone becomes his little shoulder thingies, and he does have some panels flip around. Granted, the transformation IS on the comparatively lazy side, since he essentially lays down and curls into a ball to "transform", but it just feels like "shellformer" doesn't really work for him. Just my 2c. [[User:Magaroja|Doc Chloroplast]] ([[User talk:Magaroja|talk]]) 15:33, 25 July 2023 (EDT)

Even though my favorite color is red, I don't like how my red name clashes with the others, so this page is here.

Also, I like Transformers (duh), I like reading TFWiki, and I hope to be able to contribute more as time allows.

==Regenesis/Thirteen Primes==

Either The Crucible or one of the adjacent stories states that Shockwave sent (all?) the Regenesis ores to the planets where the Enigma of Combination and the remaining tribal leaders ended up going. We don't know how he chose the location for one of them, since apparently Alpha Trion never left Cybertron until the events of Hello Cruel World. One possibility; he DID, and settled on a planet sometime between Primacy and the start of Regenesis. Shockwave sent the ore there, and sometime later Trion returned to Cybertron to retrieve Metroplex. I'm going to say that it's Ore-7, because 'Plex ends up with it in his thumb. Maybe he recovered the missile and stored it somewhere unsecure until he was attacked by the Ammonites, resulting in the Thumb Quest.

HAHAHA just kidding Barber spilled many of the beans already. Stop reading if you're not caught up on OP or Unicron.

Known ores:
*''Ore-1 (Time): LV-117 - ?''
*''Ore-2 (Death): Gorlam Prime - ? and the Necrotitan''
*Ore-4 (Gravity): Caminus - Solus Prime and Caminus
*''Ore-6 (Cold): Arduria - ?''
*''Ore-7 (Change): ? - ?''
*''Ore-8 (Destruction): Tsiehshi - Megatronus and ?''
*''Ore-9 (Space): Velocitron - ? and Navitas''
*''Ore-10 (Deception/Mind): ? - ?''
*Ore-12 ("Protection"): Elonia - Prima and Emissary
*Ore-13 (Power): Earth - The Arisen/Optimus Prime and Metrotitan
*Ore-14 (Regeneration): Cybertron - None.

Known planets and Primes/Titans
*Ore-??: Eukaris - Onyx Prime and Chela
*Ore-??: Prion - Micronus and Prion
*Ore-??: Antilla/Unicron - Alpha Trion and ?? (I think Metroplex)

Unknown ores and planets
*Ore-??: ?? - The Liege Maximo and Vigilem
*Ore-??: ?? - Vector Prime (and possibly Tempo)
*Ore-??: ?? - Alchemist Prime and ?
*Ore-??: ?? - Amalgamous Prime and ?
*Ore-??: ?? - Quintus Prime and ?

Unknown ores and Prime
*Ore-??: Devisiun - ? (though maybe Nexus Prime)

There's a lot left unpaired, but at this point it probably won't matter. I will say, however, that Shockwave may have sent The Liege Maximo's ore to some unrelated planet based on stories he heard that were seeded by Onyxwave.

A bunch of guys got figures in the 2000s; some of them existed beforehand, others were created and then promoted via the comics, and others have more complicated histories.

==Fiction First==
These guys appeared in different media (either the G1 cartoon, the Marvel books, or the IDW books) before getting figures. I don't count anyone who was snuck into the IDW books to promote upcoming toys; see above for those jerks. For these guys, their first toylines are at the end.

==Repurposed/Other==
This is a complicated category.

Some of these guys were originally designed as figures for characters in other continuity families or as special versions of G1 characters but re-imagined in IDW as new characters. Others have toys that, while designated as part of the G1 continuity, are based on similar-looking characters from other continuities. Splitting hairs? Welcome to the TF Wiki. That said, I'm not a hairsplitter, so I'm lumping them all together here. In the later case, though, there's a link to the "G1 toyline" they come from.

===Autobots===
*'''[[Delta Magnus]]''' - Cybertron? {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}} (flashback) (repurposed from [[Delta Magnus#toys|Ultra Magnus Movie Preview version]])

===Decepticons===

*[[Tidal Wave (G1)|Tidal Wave]] - Earth? : [[Titans Return (toyline)]] (basically identical to Armada [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]]) (might be dead?)

==The Thirteen Original Transformers: Power of the Primes==
One day [[Simon Furman]] said "hey, what if Primus created 13 Cybertronians as the progenitors of the Transformer race!" Hasbro took that idea and ran with it, so it made sense that the idea would eventually trickle down to IDW. They have representations now in the [[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes toyline]], so when they appear in IDW, they'll now appear here.

I'm lumping Alpha Trion in here screw you.

*[[The Arisen]] - unknown; they MAY be Optimus Prime, who died, but the books were REALLY cagey about who the Arisen really was.

I made this stupid page so that I could track who's alive and who's dead in IDW-verse. OK.

==Legend==
*Alive (link to last issue unless it's {{storylink|Post}}/{{storylink|How To Say Goodbye And Mean It: Part 2}})
*<s>Dead</s> (link to issue)
*'''Status Unknown''' (link to last appearance)
*♠ Constructed Cold
*♦ Forged
*♣ Artificial

Both "versions" are listed here... though I think we should call the Gorlamite Tailwind [[Windrim]] (Gorlamite Blackjack, meanwhile, looks like him and not like [[Black Heat]]... God what an unfortunate name).

Many toys have been made of [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] '''[[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]''', enough to warrant this page!

==Toys==
===''The Transformers''===
{{anchor|Generation 1}}
[[File:G1Starscream toy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|[[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Then]] [[Sunstorm (G1)|about]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|eight]] [[:File:G1BlackStarscream toy.jpg|million]] [[Seeker (body-type)|redecos]] [[E-HOBBY|followed]].]]
*'''Starscream''' (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985/1986/1990)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''22'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null-rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear

: Starscream's first toy began life as "Jet Robo" from the ''[[Diaclone]]'' line, transforming into a grey, red and blue F-15 Eagle fighter jet. To transform Starscream, one must essentially take most of his plane parts off and transform his body, then reattach most of plane parts on again, along with the addition of two blue fists. If you don't mind being fiddly, though, transformation can certainly be achieved by only removing the fists, weapons and landing gear (which can store in Starscream's cockpit). Owing to the modular nature of his design and the fact that it is impossible to store all the parts in either mode, it can be quite difficult to find an intact original set of this toy.

:Starscream is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in robot mode, and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short "[[cluster bomb]]" projectiles are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Starscream's [[null-ray]]s. The original ''Diaclone'' version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.

:The ''Diaclone'' version of the Starscream mold featured tailfins with solid tips and solid fists, and both these features carried over to the earliest ''Transformers'' releases. Soon, however, the ''Transformers'' mold was modified to add hollow tips to the fins, and tabs to the insides of the fists to allow them to hold onto his arms tighter, resulting in a visible slit on either side of each one. These altered versions became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. Like all his 1984 brethren, a [[rubsign]] was added to Starscream in 1985.

:The Italian release of Starscream (as "Astrum") by [[GiG]] put him in a generic "Distructor Planes" box, featuring names and tech specs for all three planes in the assortment.

: Starscream's mold was [[redeco]]ed into the concurrently-available [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]]. It would later be redecoed again to make [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]], and [[retool]]ed into [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]]. On top of this, given his role as a major Generation 1 character, Starscream himself would be reissued many times down the years, the first being [[Classics (Europe)#Australian exclusives|still in his original packaging in Australia]] in 1990. Subsequent reissues had more distinctive presentation, and this article strives to list each one under its own header. The long lifespan of his toy actually began in 1986, when Starscream remained part of the assortment for that year despite the departure of nearly every other 1984 toy from store shelves.

*'''Good Bye Megatron''' (Multi-pack, 1986)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null-rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear

:The second release of Starscream's toy came with this Japanese-exclusive two-pack, which saw him packaged alongside [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], in commemoration of the Decepticon leader's passing ([[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|of sorts]]) in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Starscream himself was ''actually'' dead, but where was his "Good Bye Starscream" set, eh?

*'''Starscream''' (Classic Pretender, 1989)
**''Accessories'': 2-part Pretender shell, helmet, left & right wings, left & right "lasers"/tail wings, rifle
:The first new Starscream toy since the original brought the treacherous Air Commander back as a [[Classic Pretender]]. He still transforms into a grey, red and blue F-15 fighter jet, though his vehicle mode now borders on the [[super deformed]]. He is armed with a pair of blue lasers, which become his tail fins in jet mode.

:Starscream's two-piece [[Pretender]] shell resembles a human in a teal, grey and brown space armored suit with a removable helmet. The shell is armed with a large blue rifle. When Starscream is inside the shell, his removable grey wings store in holes on the shell's back, while the blue lasers get plugged into the sides of the large rifle.

This version of Starscream featured a silver face, as opposed to the Hasbro version's black.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] also forewent releasing the individual Classic Pretenders, and instead released their own version of the Hero Set named "Set Commandos". Starscream was given the name "Tornado", which was originally the Italian name of [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

: [[Action Master]] Starscream is a non-transforming action figure based loosely on his cartoon [[character model]], but using a color scheme derived from the Pretender toy. His main accessory is the [[Turbo Jet]], a small personal attack craft that Starscream can set astride like a motorcycle. The Turbo Jet rolls on three small wheels, and can transform into a gun emplacement.

: The third exclusive redeco of the original Generation 1 Starscream toy released alongside the 2001 reissues, "Starscream Secret Version" was available through the [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] contest held in conjunction with the first edition of ''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Transformers Generations]]'' (with a ''[[Super Collection Figure]]'' Skywarp figurine as second prize). The figure was limited to only ''five'' pieces, making it one of the rarest officially-released ''Transformers'' toys in the world, and to cap it off, the toy was not actually ''shown'' during the contest, hence its "Secret" moniker. Given its amazingly limited availability, it was not even 100% known ''what the toy looked like'' until a picture of it appeared in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009]]'', showing it as being primarily clear and colorless. Prior to this appearance, it was suggested that both this toy and the ''SCF'' Skywarp were ''not'' officially released, due to the bankruptcy of ''Generations'' publisher [[Keibunsha]]. Whether or not this scenario is accurate is still unknown at this time, as no one has publicly translated the text regarding the figure from ''Generations 2009''.

**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear, 2 missile launchers, 3 missiles, sound/light energy unit

:Starscream's ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' release is a slight [[retool]] of his original toy, armed with new, functional spring-loaded launchers and missiles, and an electronic light-and-sound "energy unit" in the shape of a tank. The electronic box lights up with the press of either button, and emits electronic "machine gun" or "jet engine" noises. In robot mode, the box attaches to Starscream's back; in jet mode, it plugs into his tail-end.

:This version of the mold would have been used to make ''Generation 2'' [[Blackout (G2)|Blackout]]. The new accessories were also used, in different colors, for ''Generation 2'' [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Ramjet]].

*'''Advanced Tactical Bomber Megatron''' (Decepticon, limited test market release)
**''Accessories'': 12 missiles, 2 missiles launchers

: A planned-but-more-or-less-canceled redeco of ''Generation 2'' [[Dreadwing (G2)#Toys|Dreadwing]], "Advanced Tactical Bomber" [[Megatron (G1)/toys#ATB|Megatron]] would have come with Starscream, a redeco of Dreadwing's partner [[Smokescreen (G2)#Toys|Smokescreen]]. The pair can combine into the "flying wing" Advanced Tactical Bomber, while Starscream can detach to become a smaller solo jet, leaving Megatron to transform into a treaded tank mode. According the Toy Fair 1995 Transformers presentation, the toy's missiles are intended to glow in the dark.

: This toy's deco was modified to make ''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]'''s [[BB#Toys|BB]] and [[Starscream (BWII)#Toys|Starscream]] out of the same mold-set. Importantly, ''this'' Starscream has light gray plastic rather than ''Beast Wars II'' Starscream's silver plastic, as well as an unpainted gray head with a blue faceplate where ''Beast Wars II'' has a painted-black helmet with silver faceplate, and of course, different stickers between the two. The missiles in the set are also [[retool]]ed with a different, pointier back-end, indicating the launchers' interiors were also retooled; this tooling is however completely different from the retooling done to each individual later use of the mold, meaning ''none'' of the missiles are interchangeable between them.

: This mold was also used to make ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Dreadwind (RID)#Toys|Dreadwind]] and [[Smokejumper#Toys|Smokejumper]], while Starscream's mold was sold separately during the ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' line as [[Smokesniper#Toys|Smokesniper]].

: This figure was only released to test markets in Ohio, USA in very limited quantities. It was never available as a wide release.

*'''Starscream''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' 10 missiles

: Starscream's ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' incarnation is a redeco of the [[Predator (subgroup)|Predator]] [[Skyquake (G1)#Toys|Skyquake]], transforming into a large bomber jet based vaguely upon an SR-71 Blackbird. The main feature of the toy is its "carpet bombing" gimmick; each wing contains a drum that holds up to four missiles, which drop out as the drum is rotated. A further two missiles can also store on each wing, and one on each side of his fuselage, but while Skyquake came with enough missiles to fill all these ports, Starscream only comes with ten. The short length of the missiles necessary for this gimmick to function means that Starscream does not come with Skyquake's firing missile launcher, since the missiles are shorter than [[for safety reasons|US safety standards]] allow, although it is incorrectly shown on his packaging. Starscream also lacks Skyquake's [[Megavisor]] gimmick. The figure also features a barely noticeable yet enormous Decepticon symbol on the [http://www.seibertron.com/transformers-toys/view/machine-wars/starscream/608/2/25/ top of the plane] rendered in black paint on black plastic.

: Starscream is known to have come with either pale grey missiles, better fitting his new color scheme, or bright green missiles like Skyquake's.

: This mold was later redecoed to make [[King Atlas#Toys|King Atlas]]. The toy [[Repurposing|doubles]] as the [[Starscream drone]]s in ''[[Transformers: Wings Universe|Wings Universe]]'' and as [[Starscream (MW)|an unnamed character]] in [[2019 IDW continuity]].

: Starscream would have been made available in the aborted ''[[Transcendent Technomorph|Transtech]]'' series in 2001. Control art and early [[Prototype]] images have surfaced, showing that the toy would have been at the Deluxe scale and featured internal lighting mechanisms that changed color depending on its mode. The toy is clearly a homage to his ''Machine Wars'' body, which at the time of ''Transtech's'' intended release would have been the last form Starscream had inhabited in American markets.

: In 2008, this design would be [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]] universe's [[Starscream (TransTech)|Starscream]].

: This design was revived by [[Draxhall Jump]] when they were contracted to create the ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Megamorphs'' line for Toy Biz; Starscream ultimately became the [[Iron Man]] toy.

: Available concurrently with the 2001 reissue of the original Generation 1 Starscream figure, "Starscream Ghost Version" is an [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]] ''[[Collector's Edition]]'' redeco of the 2001 Starscream reissue, cast almost entirely in translucent plastics (except for those parts made of die-cast metal) in homage to Starscream's tenure as a ghost in the third season of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]]. To make the toy further match Starscream's cartoon appearance, it features a notably lighter shade of blue, and a translucent orange cockpit as opposed to the traditional smoky grey. The toy came in unique monochrome-blue window box packaging featuring [[CGI]] artwork of Starscream.

:The first reissue of the original Starscream toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive. It featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. This didn't work out ''so'' badly with the null-rays, but the cluster bombs just wound up looking ''stupid''.

:As another in an increasingly large number of reissues of the original Generation 1 Starscream toy, this entry in the Japanese-exclusive ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues decided to mix things up by giving the figure a full-scale redeco into [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] colors. His blue plastic became much lighter, while his cockpit was made bright orange, and even featured new grey paint applications running across it. Several of his stickers were replaced with new, show-accurate paint applications, including new wing-stripes and [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon symbols on his wings and nosecone (of course, Starscream didn't have one on his nosecone in the cartoon, so it isn't perfect!).

:Starscream's fists were remolded with new circular peg-holes so he could wield his missile launchers in his hands, which also worked in conjunction with a new tab on the fists' undersides to allow him to hold his new accessory: Megatron in gun mode. This miniature Megatron splits into two pieces at the handle, with each half plugging into the new hole and tab added to each of Starscream's fists. Megatron can also plug into Starscream's underside in jet mode, replicating the time the characters linked up in this fashion in the cartoon episode, "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]". The set also came with a remolded fist for the original Optimus Prime toy, allowing him to hold the Megatron accessory, and a DVD featuring a trailer for the upcoming Playstation 2 video game ''[[The Transformers (PS2)|The Transformers]]'' and Japanese toy [[commercial]]s for Optimus Prime, [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 null-rays, 2 missile pods

: Starscream's ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' toy is a re-imagining of the original Generation 1 figure, retaining its basic [[transformation scheme]], but designed to be closer to the animation model, with greater articulation and integrated parts that do not require detachment during transformation. The only pieces that now need to be removed are Starscream's null-ray rifles, which move from his wings to his arms. He has three peg-holes on each arm, allowing the null-rays to be mounted on his shoulders, on his forearms, or in his fists. These holes are also designed to accommodate the generic spring-loaded missile launcher weapon included with ''Robotmasters'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|G1 Convoy]], [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Convoy]] and [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Megatron]].

:Starscream came with two "missile pods" based on weapons Starscream used but once, in the Generation 1 cartoon episode "[[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain]]". These chromed accessories plug into the square holes in Starscream's chest, and feature opening covers that reveal (non-firing) missiles within.

*'''Starscream''' ([[September 28]], [[2006]])
**''ID number:'' '''MP-3'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 null-rays, 2 missile racks, [[Doctor Arkeville#Masterpiece|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figurine, gun clip, two-piece display stand

:The second new mold in [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line, this highly-detailed version of Starscream is the "odd man out" of the series, eschewing the slavish cartoon-accuracy of the other ''Masterpiece'' figures in favor of creating as accurate an F-15 Eagle alternate mode as possible, with a somewhat more stylized robot mode. The toy features several unobtrusive built-in gimmicks, including ''numerous'' opening panels on his jet mode surface (highlighting the attention this mode received), flip-up panels in his chest that reveal missile racks based on the weapons seen in the Generation 1 episode "Fire on the Mountain", and a rotating face that allows Starscream to switch his expression from stony-faced to sneering. Owners of the toy are given quite a few customization options, as Starscream comes with an extensive sheet of sticker decals, including variously sized Decepticon symbols, and squadron numbers and markings, including one of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]]!

:In addition to his built-in features, Starscream comes with several accessories. He is armed with both his traditional null-ray rifles, but his familiar cluster bombs are replaced with a rack of (slightly inaccurate) Sidewinder missiles. He also comes with a clip that mounts under his nosecone, allowing him to hold the Megatron pistol accessory that came with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary.2FMasterpiece|''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime]] in emulation of the way the characters linked up in "S.O.S. Dinobots", and a small figurine of [[Doctor Arkeville]], his partner in crime from several first-season episodes of the Generation 1 cartoon, which can fit in his cockpit. Finally, he includes a two-piece, reconfigurable display base that allows the figure to be posed in mid-flight in either jet or robot mode, and can store Starscream's accessories while they are not in use. [[Control drawing|Control art]] for ''Masterpiece'' Starscream which showed the figure wearing his [[Transformer clothing|Crown of Leadership]] (as seen in the coronation scene of the original animated movie) and a pair of otherwise-pointless flip-out notches in the finished toy's shoulders indicated that Takara planned for a set of clip-on coronation gear. Ultimately, it would take ''six years'' before these accessories were finally released.

: ''Masterpiece'' Starscream's creation was overseen by famed Japanese mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]], who was particularly intent on hiding the robot-mode details on the underside of the fighter mode. The first prototype for the figure was essentially an upgraded, more complex version of the original toy, with much more accurate robot and jet modes, but Kawamori's desire to avoid simply making a new version of an old toy saw the figure go through a major redesign into its finished form. Perhaps the most notable change was the repositioning of Starscream's tail-fin structures from his legs to his hips, with the intent of creating the feel of a samurai wearing a pair of swords at his waist (presumably, if somewhat oddly, based on the then-recent ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' cartoons' portrayal of their [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] as a noble swordsman). Even so, Kawamori was still unhappy with the amount of robotic parts visible underneath the plane, but conceded that too many changes would essentially not make the toy look like Starscream in robot mode. In this pursuit of realism, the most visible concession to the design was the abandonment of his traditional color scheme, replaced with an all-over greenish-tinged grey. Given that this color is inaccurate to most real F-15 fighters (whose Gunship Gray coloration is ''much'' closer to Starscream's traditional shade), the question of why it was changed at all is not an unreasonable one. However, there are instances of [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6VLv-xwhhag/TZ7hPg5UX-I/AAAAAAAAAXo/UW1469Fm19M/s1600/F-15_three_shipper.jpg F-15 Strike Eagles] that actually utilize this (seldom seen) color scheme.

:This mold was later retooled into the ''Masterpiece'' versions of [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thundercracker]], and was recolored by Hasbro into a [[#MasterpieceUS|more cartoon-accurate Starscream color scheme]] released under their ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' line as well as redecoed into Hasbro's version of Masterpiece [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|Skywarp]] under the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]] line. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh ''Masterpiece'' figure, [[#MP11|Starscream]].

:Though not stated on the package, Starscream is in fact a 1/60 scale F-15. The same scale used by many popular Japanese mecha toys including Kawamori's own ''Macross'' Valkyries. Coincidence?

**''Accessories:'' Crown, pauldrons (left and right), cape, 2 null-rays, hologram pilot figurine

:Following up on the original plan for the ''Masterpiece'' Starscream figure six years after the fact, MP-11 decks Screamer out in his coronation gear from ''The Transformers: The Movie'', including crown, twin shoulder pads, and a sculpted plastic cape (rather than a fabric one). In addition to his new accessories—which also include a new hologram pilot figure in place of Doctor Arkeville—Starscream features some extensive retooling to wind his ''Masterpiece'' design away from Kawamori's original, less Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered null-rays attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation. Despite the similarity to the original MP-3 prototype, the retooled parts are in fact a whole new design heavily based on the original concept. This new version of the mold was redecoed into [[Sunstorm (G1)#Masterpiece|Sunstorm]] and (without the coronation gear) into Hasbro's [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#MP11SW|Skywarp]] and [[Acid Storm (G1)#Masterpiece|Acid Storm]]. It was later retooled into the [[Seeker (body-type)#Coneheads|Coneheads]] [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Ramjet]], [[Thrust (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thrust]] and [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Dirge]], although the mold by that point had noticeably [[Mold#Deterioration|deteriorated]], resulting in numerous quality control issues.

:2013 saw a China-only re-release of MP-11 Starscream. While announced as the same as the original, it featured some changes. Chief among them is the head is no longer molded in light gray plastic painted over gloss black and dark metallic gray (for the face) but it's molded in a more cartoon accurate dark gray (for the helmet) and a lighter metallic gray for the face. This release also features the nosecone molded in light gray plastic rather than molded in blue and then painted over light gray. The black tabs on the top of the jet are now the same grey as the rest of the jet. It also included a collector's coin like the original Asian (excluding Japan) release.

:This version was released by Hasbro [[#Masterpiece 2|under ''Generations'' co-branding]].

:This new iteration of the ''Masterpiece'' Starscream features more cartoon-accurate proportions compared to previous releases. He can also convert into his Gerwalk-styled "Alternate Transformation" while in Jet mode. Popular toy magazine ''Figure King'' profiled this new cartoon/Anime accurate version in issue #242.

:A ''Hobby Magazine'' issue revealed that his chest was redesigned during the prototype's production, allowing the parts to correctly sit flush.

:For accessories, he comes with 5 alternate faces, various effect parts and, like many other newer ''Masterpiece'' figures, a bunch of accessories referring to determinate appearances of the character in the G1 cartoon, such as Megatron in gun mode (the first time such an accessory has been included with a ''Masterpiece'' Starscream), the drill arm seen in "[[The Core]]" and the pincer he used in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]" to remove the asteroid fragment from Megatron's arm, alongside said asteroid fragment. He also comes with a 2-piece stand with an adaptable arm, a purple redeco of the one that came with [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Masterpiece|Dinobot]], plus a specific cradle adapter to attach Starscream in Gerwalk mode to the stand. Numerous cases of hairline cracks have been reported at the wrist joints and tailfin joints.

:Upon the announcement of the second version of ''Masterpiece'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#MP52|Skywarp]], a competition for Starscream's add-on kit was revealed; giving him his iconic crown and cape from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Those who purchase Starscream, Skywarp, and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#MP52|Thundercracker]] will receive the exclusive kit.

:''Masterpiece'' Starscream Ver. 2.0 was redecoed into the [[TakaraTomy Mall]] [[exclusive]] Thundercracker.

[[File:ClassicsStarscream toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Fear my extra-long null-rays!!!]]
*'''Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' 2 null-ray cannons (left and right), 2 missiles

: Like the other entries in the ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' series, Starscream is a faithful "modernizing" of his original Generation 1 form, updating his original toy with modern standards of toy engineering, transformation, sculpting detail and articulation (not dissimilar in principle from his ''[[#Robotmasters|Robotmasters]]'' incarnation, but with less of an adherence to his cartoon [[character model]]). Sharing many design elements with his ''[[#Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' toy, Starscream still transforms into an F-15 Eagle, but has the nose of an {{w|F-14 Tomcat}} fighter jet. His color scheme is, of course, based on the traditional Starscream palette, but seems to owe its new layout to {{w|File:F-15A first prototype 2.jpg|the original F-15 prototype}}.

:As usual, Starscream is armed with his familiar null-rays, which can mount under his wings, on his shoulders, or in his fists, and fire spring-loaded projectiles. The large size of his null-rays (necessary [[for safety reasons]]) restrict his arm movement somewhat in robot mode, as they bump into his wings. Like all ''Classics'' figures, he has a heat-activated rubsign on his left wing. Certain parts of Starscream, like his back panel and tailfin assemblies, are made of unusually rigid gray plastic that is slightly prone to cracking or breaking, and should be handled with care.

: [[Variant#Running changes|Later versions]] of Starscream saw a [[retool]] in the jet intake area, which involved the slope of his shoulders being decreased, and a fifth small rectangle being added to the vertical area. This version of Starscream is the harder to find of the two, but was used as the basis for all subsequent redecos and retools. Despite its age, the mold has been frequently reused for various Seeker characters in the years since its first use, though its last few uses have exhibited visible signs of mold degredation.

*'''Masterpiece Starscream''' (2007, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 null-rays, 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip, display stand

: A [[Walmart]] exclusive, Hasbro's Masterpiece Starscream is an ''extensive'' redeco of the previous year's ''Masterpiece'' figure from Takara, recolored to resemble the character's animation model, down to the orange canopy and the silver nosecone, although the cartoon-accurate silver paint on the nosecone actually covers ''toy''-accurate blue plastic.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/206593-clean-mp-ss-cleanscream-blue-nosecone.html Clean MP SS - Cleanscream(blue nosecone) - tfw2005.com]</ref> In an effort to bring out detail in the sculpt, he has also been given an extensive paint wash to bring out his panel lines. His colors were not the only thing changed, however; the tips of his vertical stabilizers were shortened and rounded, and the plastics used overall have greater resilience to impact and damage than the fragile Japanese release.

:Starscream includes the same accessories as the Takara version of the toy, including a two-piece display stand, null-rays, sidewinder missiles, a small figurine of Doctor Arkeville (which now has the correct skin color), and a clip to hold 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime's Megatron gun while in jet mode. Starscream was finally given the correct tech spec stats he was originally supposed to have back in 1984 for this release, which had been mistakenly given to Skywarp instead.

:Takara got in on the act the following year when they released Hasbro's version of Masterpiece Starscream as a "[[USA Edition]]", adding a Japanese sticker to the Hasbro ''Classics'' packaging. This version of the toy was not without a few changes: the original mold for the tail fins was used, an extra Decepticon symbol was added to Starscream's nosecone (which was present on his original toy, but not his animation model), and his black "scorch mark" [[paint operation]]s were dialed back, and those that remained were switched to a lighter gray.

:Perversely enough, ''[[Titanium Series|Titanium]]'' Starscream is actually a redeco of ''Titanium'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Thundercracker]], instead of the other way around. Based on the Seekers' [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] forms as seen in the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] comic series ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', this version of Starscream transforms into Cybertronian "tetrajet", as designed by [[Don Figueroa]].

:This red and black redeco of the ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Megatron]] figure (itself a retool of the ''Sports Label'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Optimus Prime]]) appeared on eBay in mid-2007, identified by the auctioneer as Starscream. More pictures followed from a different source a month later, but after that, this strange little redeco quietly vanished, never released, and never even officially ''acknowledged'' by [[TakaraTomy]]. Was it a [[knockoff|knock-off]], or an abandoned official product? We may never know.

:As a redeco of the one communal mold used for all the ''Sports Label'' toys, Starscream, if that's who he really was, would have transformed into an undersized Nike sneaker with real fabric shoelaces, and would have been armed with a modular two-piece gun that split and stored inside each half of the large sneaker "shell" that made up a big chunk of his alternate mode.

This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, with its only notable change from past versions being a pale yellow window instead of dark gray, and the inclusion of [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon insignias on its wings and nosecone, rather than stickers (similar to the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' reissue before it but not flipped like the animation and metallic purple and silver instead of glossy purple and white).

: Available only as a mail-away exclusive offered through ''[[Transformers Generations 2009]]'' Vol 2 that was released in November 2009, this redeco of Starscream is the second in the character's history to pay homage to his time as a ghost in the third season of the Generation 1 cartoon by casting him almost entirely in traslucent colored plastic. Parts of the figure made in softer plastic, like his thighs, remain opaque.

: Starscream Ghost Version uses the altered version of the ''Classics'' Starscream mold that originated with Classics [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]] and was last seen with [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]] (down to the 2006 copyright date stamped on it), rather than the modified version first used on ''Universe'' Starscream and the iterations that followed ([[#Universe (2008)|see below]]).

**''Accessories:'' Left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles

:The second ''Universe'' Starscream toy is a redeco of [[#Classics|''Classics'' Starscream]], with a considerably lighter gray base color, more vibrant red paint, his face painted in dark gray compared to ''Classics'' Starscream's flat gray plastic color for the face and a deco more faithful to Starscream's original Generation 1 toy, very similar to the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' release.

:Several minor changes were made to the sculpt for this release: his launcher pegs were widened, and the peg-holes for them on his shoulders and wings were modified in order to accommodate them. His air intakes were further modified (on top of the changes made to the mold for [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|''Classics'' Skywarp]]) so that the bottom-most rectangle goes completely across the air intake's surface rather than just the center.

:The figure is reported to suffer from heavy quality control issues, most commonly mentioned are the joints and hinges being incredibly weak. As a result, Starscream's wings are difficult to keep in place in robot mode. The elbows, which previously snapped into place when articulated, now slide freely, and the entire hip joint system can be shifted out of alignment.

:This modified version of the mold was used for ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Thundercracker]].

:The first transformable Starscream toy not to turn into a jet, ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Starscream transforms into a licensed 1:32 scale {{w|Mitsuoka Orochi}}. Like the other toys in the line, he features [[die-cast]] metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. This is also currently the only ''Alternity'' mold to feature [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|a fake kibble chest]].

:In car mode, small wings are ''supposed to'' be able to flip out from under Starscream's rear wheels, giving him the appearance of a flying car. Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath ''deforming the rims and chipping the tires''. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s ''very easily''.

:This mold, with a different head sculpt, was also used to make the simultaneously released ''Alternity'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Alternity|Skywarp]], and later [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Alternity|Thundercracker]] and [[Banzai-Tron (G1)#Alternity|Banzai-Tron]] as well.

*'''Starscream''' (Legends Class, 2011)

:[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Starscream is a new sculpt based on his Generation 1 jet appearance with many fuselage details borrowed from the [[#Masterpiece|Masterpiece version]]. This is the first Starscream in many years to attempt an entirely new transformation for him, with the arms now forming the rear of the jet and the legs folding under the wings. Amusingly, he has ''two'' cockpits, with the one that is actually part of his jet mode folding ''right behind'' the [[kibble#faux-parts|fake]] one on his chest in robot mode. As part of the "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[subline imprint]], Starscream sports a [[rubsign]].

: Early specimens of the toy released in Asia and at United States retail feature an unpainted gray-plastic helmet, a comparatively rare [[variant]]. This variant is the one featured in the Hasbro [[stock photography]], although the stock photo depicting the figure in [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] has the more common black helmet, as this was the only version ever available at European retail.

: The "Reveal the Shield" Legends figures saw exceedingly limited release at large-scale retail chains in the US. Throughout 2011, they eventually started appearing in discount stores like Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Tuesday Morning, with perhaps the largest and most consistent outlet being Five Below stores.

:This sculpt was also redecoed and retooled to make ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Chronicle|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Chronicle|Skywarp]], as well as ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Generations|Thundercracker]] and [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2014)]] [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Skywarp]].

Starscream features numerous 5mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides.

: In an undocumented feature, Starscream's tail-fin is attached via a 5 mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the two pegs found on the underside of the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle's top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.

: He was later redecoed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Skywarp (WFC)#Generations|Skywarp]] and ''Thrilling 30'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#T30Deluxe|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Skywarp]].

:Part of the fourth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Legends Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Starscream is a new mold that is roughly the same size as a ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toy. Based on a [[Guido Guidi]] [[Seeker (body-type)|seeker]] concept for the [[The Transformers (IDW)|first IDW ongoing series]], Starscream transforms from a hybrid F-15/F-22 style jet. He features a fold out front landing gear, [[5 mm post|5 mm-compatible]] hands, and back/roof, and has [[C joint|3 mm-compatible]] upper arm ports. He comes with two removable null-rays that have both 5 mm and 3 mm pegs.

: Alluding to the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' episode "[[Possession]]", Starscream is partnered with [[Waspinator (BW)/toys#Generations|Waspinator]], who can transform into a wasp, a robot with 3 mm-compatible hands, and a gun with 5mm handle. He has an [[autotransformation]] feature that folds up his wings when his gun barrel is extended.

:As one of seven toys in the [[Transformers: Generations#Cyber Battalion Series|Cyber Battalion]] series, Cyber Series Starscream is a Voyager-sized figure intended to be sold at a cheaper price point. Starscream features a transformation similar to his ''Generations'' Legends Class counterpart. Undocumented in the instructions and as shown in the packaging art, Starscream's rifles can be attached underneath his wings and his robot mode arms.

:Unfortunately, the figure did not get distribution in the United States, but has been reported showing up in Asian markets and was also solicited to South America. Toy importers did stock this series in a limited capacity and they sold out quickly in 2015 and effectively disappeared at that time. In 2016, the Cyber Battalion Starscream figure (along with ''Cyber Battalion'' Optimus Prime and Bumblebee) saw release in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and finally ended up being turned into a Walgreens exclusive.

**''Accessories:'' 2 null-rays, 2 missile racks, hologram pilot figurine, two-piece display stand, gun clip

:The Hasbro version of [[#MP11|MP-11]] differs from the Takara release in a toy-accurate blue nose cone, borders around the Decepticon logo, a slightly different grey plastic, the tabs of the top of the jet are in grey (like the second release of MP-11) and is missing the coronation gear. However, he does come with the stand from previous Masterpiece Seekers and two racks of missiles that can peg onto the bottom of his wings in place of the null-rays. Neither the box nor the instructions mention this, but he comes with the gray clip that can hold the Megatron gun that came with other ''Masterpiece'' figures, such as MP-1 Optimus Prime or MP-13 Soundwave. Official images, including the box art, shows the top of the wings mis-transformed in robot mode.

:Despite still using the numbering system of Hasbro's ''Masterpiece'' line begun in 2013, Starscream was [[co-branding|co-branded]] as part of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' line. He was available exclusively at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Australia, and Canada.

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Starscream transforms from a robot that utilizes the [[Evergreen]]-styled design into a fighter jet. He also features some markings on his jet mode: an Autobot kill count on the right side of the cockpit, and a Decepticon symbol with the number "D-22" (a reference to Starscream's Japanese ID number). Starscream can also form the torso of [[Starscream Combiner|an unnamed combiner]] using any selection of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style Deluxe Class figures as limbs. His instructions and [[TakaraTomy]] stock photos depict him with the ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures from Wave 1. He also includes Prime Armor that can hold a [[Prime Master]] (and by extension, a [[Titan Master]], [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and can turn into feet for said unnamed combiner. The silhouette of Starscream's torso mode appears to homage the robot mode of another [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Starscream includes an Enigma of Combination (dubbed the ''Seeker Enigma''), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to Starscream via the previously mentioned Prime Armor or the combined mode chest, which can also facilitate the other previously mentioned objects.

:There are several reports of the peg that connects the wings often refusing to connect well. In 2018, a running change was made in the re-release of the toy: the peg that connects between the wings and the robot back has been retooled to connect firmly. The only way to identify this running change is the code "73101" stamped onto the box.

:Starscream was later retooled into [[Elita One (G1)#Generations|Elita-1]].

**''TakaraTomy release date'': '''[[April 27]], 2019'''
**''Hidden message code'': '''NULLRAY'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "HPI [[Null-ray|Null-Ray]] Laser Launchers"

:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Voyager Class figures, Starscream transforms from a heavily G1-inspired robot into a Cybertronian 'tetrajet' based on the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers']] appearance in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", although the jet mode has <s>the robot-mode legs</s> pretty much his ''entire robot body'' sticking out from the undercarriage. He includes two "HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers," which can mount on his upper arms or under the wings in jet mode (or in any other 5 mm port, really). As part of the ''Siege'' [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], Starscream has 5 mm ports on his biceps, forearms, shins, under his feet (vehicle-mode thrusters), and wings. The 3 mm pegs on his shins, forearms, left bicep, and the tips of his null-rays can accommodate effects parts (sold separately). Similar to his wavemate [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Soundwave]], Starscream is absolutely ''slathered'' in battle damage paint — it's heavily present on his legs, chest, forearms, and the ''entirety'' of his jet form.

:Like the rest of ''Siege'', his robot mode focuses on articulation, with double-jointed elbows, knees that bend at nearly 180 degrees, ankle rockers, and especially waist articulation being notable articulation points for a Starscream toy. As an interesting design addition, he also has spring-loaded panels in his lower legs to avoid hollow gaps when viewed from the back. As a rather heavy shellformer, Starscream can easily be separated into both a wingless robot mode and a nearly complete tetrajet via a single friction hinge.

:Speaking of friction hinges, the initial release of Starscream suffers from a production flaw: his robot-mode chest easily pops off during transformation as a result of a late design change that removed a pin from the chest without adjusting plastic tolerances. Said initial releases also use the live-action "angry eyes" design for his Decepticon insignia. One or both errors were corrected for later wave shipments; both were fixed by the time the figure shipped again with Voyager Class [[Springer (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Springer]]. While the pin wasn't added back in, the plastic used for the grey strut the chest piece attaches to uses a stiffer plastic that is less likely to cause it to pop off.

:Amusingly, the panel on his instruction sheet that demonstrates where to attach C.O.M.B.A.T. weapons depicts him mistransformed, with his left forearm opened along the transformation hinge. He is also slightly mistransformed in-package, with his arms rather adorably left unextended and the panel behind the head not being locked in place between the shoulder pylons.

:As is tradition, this mold has seen numerous redecoes and retools:
:*It was redecoed into the ''Siege'' Seeker three-pack, consisting of [[Acid Storm (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Acid Storm]], [[Ion Storm#Generations|Ion Storm]], and [[Nova Storm (G1)#Generations|Nova Storm]]; and the later ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)#NetflixToyline|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Hotlink (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Hotlink]].
:*It was retooled into ''Siege'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Thundercracker]], ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Selects|Generations Selects]]'' [[Red Wing#Generations|Red Wing]] and the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)#NetflixToyline|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Decepticon Sparkless Seeker, all featuring a new, smirking face.
:*It was retooled differently into ''Siege'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Skywarp]], released as part of the Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron set, with a new, sneering face.

:The original figure eventually became a notorious shelfwarmer, due to him being reissued in the third wave and coincidentally around the time that the ''Earthrise'' figure was revealed at NYCC 2019.

**''Accessories:'' 2 [[null-ray]]s

:Released as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Voyager Class lineup, this version of Starscream is a cartoon-accurate mold. He transforms into an F-15 jet based on his traditional alternate mode and features a pair of G1-accurate null-rays. His design and transformation scheme is heavily based on his [[#Classics|2006 ''Classics'' figure]] while adding points of articulation the earlier figure did not have such as pivoting ankles, a more expressive ball-jointed head, and hinges that allow the wings to fold backwards in robot mode. However, due to this, his torso is very hollow at the sides and his intended waist articulation was dropped due to the physical space required for transformation.

:The stock renders have some minor differences from the prototype seen at New York Comic Con. The renders depict the section of his chest that covers part of his cockpit as being unpainted red, while the prototype has it painted a more animation-accurate white, also present on renders featuring [[Smashdown]], and ''four'' null-rays on his Jet mode, with two of them attached at the turbines of his chest, which is impossible to do on the toy. The render also depicts his shoulder joints as being molded in blue and knee joints in white, whereas the prototype has their colors swapped.

:At least ''one'' copy features a factory misassembled figure with a newly tooled head sculpt<ref>https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/alternate-head-for-earthrise-starscream.1190272/</ref> (with his expression being based on him being disintegrated by Galvatron in ''The Transformers: The Movie'') which was meant for [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Skywarp]].

:There have been reports of some units suffering from a cracked waist panel due to the left tab not being pushed in far enough during assembly. The unpaintable gray parts, such as the elbows and tailfins, are somewhat prone to [[photodegradation|photodegrading]] in-package. Moreover, the over reliance of red paint for his torso and black paint for his head means that he is extremely prone to chipping.

:Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Starscream's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read markings on the map. Unusually for a larger Earthrise toy, Starscream's piece of the map does not contain the labeled location of a named planet; however it does include an unlabeled image of the planet [[Jupiter]], slightly obscured by another smaller sphere. It also shows a sliver of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], one of several planets too big for one map piece.

:As per the norm, Starscream was later redecoed into [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Skywarp]] (with the alternate head) and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Thundercracker]] (with the neutral-faced head). The mold would later be further retooled into the [[Conehead]]s [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Ramjet]], [[Dirge (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Dirge]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Thrust]] and then differently retooled into [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Coronation Starscream]].

:''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Core Class Starscream is a roughly Legends-sized toy that can interact with Titan Class figures, although its product description states that it is designed to pose with larger Starscream toys.

As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

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

:Rather than coming with a (nominally) hand-held weapon accessory, Starscream comes with a wing-pack. Of course, being a ''Hero Mashers'' piece, it can be attached anywhere, including being hand-held, and the wings have multiple gun barrels on them, so have a blast.

: His right forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Skywarp]]'s arm in the [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Megatron]] set.

:Starscream's torso sculpt is noticeably similar to that of the [[Titan Heroes|Titan Guardian]] Starscream released at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] in [[2013]].

*'''Starscream''' (EZ Collection, [[April 27]], 2013)
**''ID number'': '''EG07'''

:This individual release of ''EZ Collection'' Starscream is a redeco of the [[#Transformers .282010.29|2010 ''Transformers'' Legends Class Starscream]] toy, and it features light blue paint applications replacing the original dark blue's. However, unlike the ''Chronicle'' toy and the vehicle stock photo, his head/cockpit is painted half black, which makes it slightly less glaring in jet mode. Stock photos also depict him having a greener shade of metallic blue.

[[File:TF-2014-Legion-Class-Starscream.jpg|upright=1|thumb|Blasters not included. No, seriously, they're not.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Legion Class, 2014/2017)

: Another release of the ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class sculpt, this time as an odd mish-mash of prior releases. The tooling is identical to the 2012 release's running change variant, with the retooled hands and holes inside his wings compatible with [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] [[C joint|3mm]] pegs, while the deco is nigh-identical the ''[[Transformers Chronicle (toyline)|Chronicle]]'' release, with the fully-black hemlet making for a weird-looking jet-mode nosecone. The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark on the inside of one of the tailfins and number on the inner right leg, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. A later [[variant]] replaced the purple Decepticon insignia with black versions.

: Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Starscream/Waspinator two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Reveal the Shield'' Starscream's packaging and only slightly altered, advertising a "[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the toy with the null-rays that came with the running change variant of the sculpt's 2012 release, even though the actual toy doesn't include the weapons.

:Legion Class Starscream has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. The later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. This figure was re-released in 2017 in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]], the black insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia, and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

: Starscream is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class [[Doubledealer#Generations|Doubledealer]], itself a redeco/[[retool]] of [[Blitzwing (G1)/toys#Generations|Blitzwing]] from the same line. Starscream transforms into two vaguely futuristic vehicles: a jet with an opening cockpit and back-mounted rocket boosters, as well as a tank with a rotating turret and a spring-loaded "Vertex Cannon" that launches its missile when the barrel is compressed. The cannon can also be swung out and deployed for use in jet mode. He lacks Doubledealer's blaster and sword accessories, but instead comes with two of [[#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Starscream]]'s [[null-ray]] cannons that can plug into the [[5 mm post]]s on his shoulders/vehicle sides, cannon base, and wings. Unfortunately, his shoulders suffer from the same [[design flaw]] Blitzwing and Doubledealer suffered from. Starscream was sold exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]].

:''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' "Ghost Starscream" is a new-head [[retool]]ing of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)/toys#Generations|Skydive]], transforming into a made-up fighter jet that looks like a cross between an F-16 and an F-18. Like so many other "ghost" Starscream figures, he is cast almost completely in translucent plastics.

: As a Deluxe-sized ''Unite Warriors'' figure, he can form the leg or arm of any ''Combiner Wars''-style Combiner or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs, but is normally associated with [[Grand Galvatron#Toys|Grand Galvatron]]. As such, his large (non-firing) double-missile-launcher accessory can convert into either a hand or foot for combiner forms.

: He was sold in an [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive giftset of Grand Galvatron along with [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Unite Warriors|Tactician Cyclonus]], [[Thrust (Armada)#Unite Warriors|Curse Armada Thrust]], [[Breakdown (WFC)#Unite Warriors|Zombie War Breakdown]], and [[Roller (G1)#UW06|Wandering Roller]].

The stock photography shows that, in order to differentiate him in control of the body from Octone, the shoulder and head pylons should both be moved up instead of leaving them down.

He comes with two null-rays that can attach to his arms or under his wings. His transformation is nigh-identical to his ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' toy, with a few minor changes; his null-rays can now peg to his wings, his face is hidden in jet mode, and the nosecone no longer flips back when forming his chest.

:Amusingly, the Decepticon symbol on his chest is ''ridiculously'' tiny, to the point where it's little more than a purple triangle.

In exchange for the gun/fist/foot accessory of his original release, Starscream comes with the ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Prime Armor that originally came with [[Dreadwind (G1)#Generations|Dreadwind]]. The Prime Armor has a place for a [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]] (or [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and can transform into a hand for a Combiner. He also comes with a piece that can fill the gap in the chest armor or be held by Starscream as a gun. He was released by [[TakaraTomy Mall]] and in [[Cybertron Satellite]] stores as part of TakaraTomy's celebration of the brand's 35th anniversary. In 2019, he also saw an official release in Australia, where he was available from Mr Toys Toyworld.

However, he still retains the elongated null-rays and cluster bombs from the [[#Commemorative Series|''Commemorative Series'' release]]. His eyes have also been painted gold rather than using the old terrible [[sticker]] across the bridge of his nose. His [[rubsign]] is an all-new type used on all of the ''Vintage G1'' toys; the insignia only turns red rather than the mood-ring multicolor of older rubsigns, plus the silver border is mirror-level reflective.

==Notes==
[[File:G2SSJungleprotojet.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb]]
* During the development of the [[Conehead]]s, [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]] was initially planned as new wing tooling attached to an unchanged Starscream body. This [[prototype]] plan lasted long enough to receive [[package art]], which was published decades later in ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]''.
* In the 1990s, Hasbro evidently had more redeco plans for Starscream (and the paired [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Ramjet]]) that fell through:
** A hand-painted mock-up and accompanying artwork for a proposed Generation 2-era redeco of Starscream appeared in auctions on eBay, amongst similar items put up for sale from the collection of a former Hasbro employee. Eventually, this black redeco of Starscream was revealed to have been labeled by Hasbro as "[[Blackout (G2)|Blackout]]". Said redeco was probably planned for release alongside the Ramjet redeco named "[[Sandstorm (G2)|Sandstorm]]".
** Another unproduced redeco of Starscream for the ''Generation 2'' line was found in 2007, in an auction on eBay. It is known to the fandom as "Jungle Attack Starscream" (as seen to the right). It is unclear if it was intended to actually be another Starscream toy; it may have been paired for release with "[[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Notes|Cloud Camo Ramjet]]", who was discovered at a similar level of "completion".
* During early planning for ''Beast Wars'', Hasbro conceived [[McDonald's]] toys of vehicular [[Auto Roller (G2)|Auto Roller]]s, including one of Starscream as a jet.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CJIcRo5Aqym/ ]</ref> This toy concept may have been a parallel idea to the unreleased ''Generation 2'' [[jet Auto Roller]] ultimately used in Japan as ''Beast Wars II'' [[Autojetter#Toys|Autojetter]].
* Aside from Starscream's ''Unite Warriors'' Deluxe Class toy (as the alternate head of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]]) and his ''Power of the Primes'' Voyager Class toy (as his own body tooling), Hasbro also designed an unused combining body for Starscream as the "pretooled" alternate head of ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager Class [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Cyclonus]].

Centurion droid

2020-06-26T18:02:51Z

Magaroja: /* Notes */

:''The Centurion Droids are non-sentient [[drone]]s from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[File:Centurions k2vs.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|We make Sentinel units look smart.]]

The '''Centurion droids''' are an automated defense guarding the [[Vector Sigma]] supercomputer. Though possessing no weapons, Centurions are trained in hand-to-hand combat to stop all intruders. They also possess very strong armor that protects them from attacks, making them even more dangerous. They tend to be encountered in large numbers.

They must be either evaded or tricked in order for one to approach Vector Sigma. Fortunately, that's not hard.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
[[File:Centurions.jpg|left|thumb|Some toasters just killed some Colonials, oops wrong universe.]]

The Centurion Droids were first encountered deep within planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], guarding the chamber of Vector Sigma from both [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s. [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] was able to bypass them by using the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] to override their defenses, but [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and his Autobots were not so lucky. Unable to defeat the Centurions in combat, the Autobots kept them busy with a slew of ancient worker droids. The worker droids stumbled off the edge of a chasm, leading the Centurions to follow like lemmings. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}}

After [[Vector Sigma]] and [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] gave life to the new [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], the Autobots attempted to return to [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], but the way was blocked by dozens of Centurion droids. The Aerialbots used their flight capabilities to good effect, routing the Centurions and enabling the Autobots to escape. As Omega Supreme headed for [[Earth]], the Centurion droids angrily shook their fists at the retreating Autobots. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}
{{-}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
The Centurion Droids were encountered by Optimus Prime again in the year 2011 when Prime was on another mission to reach Vector Sigma. However, this time around, the Centurions did not appear to be nearly as threatening, as Prime simply ''plowed through them'' like an American football player. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

====''Wings Universe''====
{{Wingsnote}}
"[[Doc (G1)|Doc]]" created the Centurion droids as a replacement for the [[Guardian robot]]s. While he and his assistant [[Centrifuge]] were demonstrating them to [[Bishop (Autobot)|Bishop]] on ''[[Around Cybertron]]'', they went rogue and attacked Centrifuge. "Doc" promised they'd work the bugs out before the Centurions started being sold. {{storylink|Around Cybertron issue 12|Around Cybertron #12}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
[[File:Stormbringer2 Centuriondroids.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|BY YOUR COMMAND]]
Greatly upgraded Centurion Droids were employed by [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and his crew to prevent disruption of their resurrection of [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] and their study of the [[Pretender]] graft process. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2|Stormbringer #2}} A squad of these droids managed to corner the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] [[Nosecone (G1)|Nosecone]] and [[Afterburner (G1)|Afterburner]] before being destroyed by the arriving [[Wrecker]]s. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 3|Stormbringer #3}}

After the discovery that Thunderwing expended ultra energon more quickly the harder he was hit, Optimus Prime had [[Dogfight (G1)|Dogfight]] reprogram the remaining Centurions to attack the gigantic Decepticon. Attacking ''en masse'', the Centurions managed to cause a massive spike in Thunderwing's internal catalytic flux, but they were quickly destroyed. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}
{{-}}

===Swindle's Spiel===
[[Swindle, Swindle and Swindle]] had Centurions among their drones for sale. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Swindle's Spiel, 2015/10/05}}

==Notes==
*The upgraded droids bear a more than passing resemblance to [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] [[Tank Drone]]s, not to mention the Cylon Centurions of ''Battlestar Galactica''.
*The IDW version of the Centurion droid serves as the inspiration for the robot mode of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|War for Cybertron: Siege]]'' [[Brunt (G1)|Brunt]], which was then redecoed and released as a Centurion droid a year later as a [[Hasbro Pulse]] exclusive.

Though not shown in the instructions, an extra post on the body of the weapon (attached to their head) allows this mode to be held like a blaster, with the handle forming the barrel; the tip of the handle/barrel has a small peg for attaching blast effects, including the axe impact effect by the hole on the "impactee" side.

:Part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' "[[Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron]]" set, Terror-Daxtyl is a [[redeco]] of [[Pteraxadon]] in a purple/silver deco. They can transform into a "Double-Edged Flankstrike Axe" that can be held by any compatible toy via a 5 mm post. As a part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], they include a "Fire Blast" effect piece that simulates their axe mode impacting another object that clips onto the blade-edge. Though not shown in the instructions, an extra post on the body of the weapon (attached to their head) allows this mode to be held like a blaster, with the handle forming the barrel; the tip of the handle/barrel has a small peg for attaching blast effects, including the axe impact effect by the hole on the "impactee" side.

:Part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' "[[Firestormer#Toys|Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce]]" set, Trenchfoot is a [[redeco]] of [[Caliburst_(G1)#War_for_Cybertron:_Siege|Caliburst]] (who is a redeco of [[Blowpipe (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Blowpipe]] with a new "Fire Blast") in a red/black deco. He can transform into a "Foxhole Counterblast Cannon" that can be held by any compatible toy via 5 mm post. As a part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], he includes a "Fire Blast" effect piece that can be used to simulate his blaster mode firing, and can slot onto the various hardpoints found on other figures and weaponry from the same subline to simulate blaster fire or explosions. The outer peg of the effect part can also attach to 5mm ports. The actual gun barrel piece can detach from the back, revealing a 3mm peg, and connect to his arm as a cannon. Due to the gun barrel piece's size, attaching a "Fire Blast" effect to it while he's wielding it in this manner will render the figure too unstable to stand.

:This set is paired up with the [[Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron]]. A preliminary/placeholder name for this pack was evidently "[[Firestormer]] Battle Pack", which showed up in several online listings.The set was an [[Amazon]] exclusive in North America, which also label the set as "Final Strike Figure Series: Part 1."

:The original mold was [[Retool|retooled]] into [[Aimless_(G1)#War_for_Cybertron:_Siege|Aimless]], who was redecoed into [[Hairsplitter#War for Cybertron: Siege|Shrute]].

Greenlight

Magaroja: /* War for Cybertron: Siege */

{{faction|autobot}}
:''Greenlight is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Femaleautobot green.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|THREETWOONE]]
'''Greenlight''', back when she was impetuous and untested, was once one of Cybertron's most promising young scientists. But then the war came. Unlike before, when she could only abstractly mourn for the lives lost, it took the loss of a friend to make her realize that she, too, had a stake in the outcome.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
[[File:Femaleautobots.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Pssst, hey, Greenlight, pay attention!]]
Greenlight was a member of the [[Female Autobots]], an underground resistance movement on Cybertron. Four million years ago, she and the other Female Autobots tried to board the Ark, but they failed and were thought destroyed until they were rediscovered in modern times.

Greenlight was manning a series of monitors in the team's secret underground headquarters when [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] and her team returned from their energy-stealing mission. Later, when their headquarters was located and destroyed, she and [[Lancer]] freed [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] from the debris. Sticking with the rest of the team, she did her share in the fight against the Decepticons and could again later be seen manning a series of monitors in the team's new base. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}
{{-}}

====''Wings Universe''====
{{Wingsnote}}
Greenlight and [[Lancer]] were amateur historians and the assistants of the archaeometrist named [[Glyph (Universe)|Glyph]]. They were assigned to [[Flip Sides (G1)|Flipsides]]'s excavation site in [[Median]], where they uncovered a mysterious artifact known as the [[Heart of the Dragon]]. Unfortunately, Decepticon raiders from [[Quarex]] also learned of their discovery. The historians requested aid from the [[Elite Guard|Autobot Elite Guard]] to defend themselves and their find. Greenlight helped [[Strika (BM)|Strika]], Lancer and the Elite Guard fortify Median against [[Rage (G1)|Rage]]'s [[Stormtrooper (G1)|Stormtrooper]]s. Unlike her fellow neophyte Lancer, however, Greenlight showed no interest in engaging the enemy. She remained in hiding near the dig with Glyph and Flip Sides while the others fought off the Decepticons. Rage and [[Aquablast]] managed to infiltrate the defenses and reach the chamber where the historians were hiding, though, and Aquablast killed Glyph before Greenlight's optics. They were only saved by the last minute arrival of Lancer, wielding a borrowed laser weapon. {{storylink|Flames of Yesterday}}

When the Autobots' current reserve of energies was dangerously low, Greenlight joined her comrades still on Cybertron in stasis hibernation as an energy-saving measure. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[The Will of the Few|''The Transformers: Windblade'' vol. 2 #7]]}}
[[File:TheWillOfTheFew-greenlight.jpg|thumb|250px|>Be me]]
Greenlight served aboard the permanently spacefaring Titan [[Vigilem|Carcer]], under the command of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]. Having been unable to keep [[Lancer]] from getting too friendly during roll call, the two were assigned to guard Carcer's space bridge, as Cybertronians had recently come through it, violently clashing with [[Devastator (G1)|each]] [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|other]]. Greenlight grew increasingly bored, saying that no one had used the space bridge in weeks, and she wasn't really sure that actual Cybertronians had come through it. Lancer assured her that they had, and almost immediately after, the bridge activated. While Lancer radioed the bridge of the ship, Greenlight joined with the other reinforcements in "welcoming" [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] to their ship.{{storylink|The Will of the Few}}
[[File:0700-greenlightandlancer.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
After Carcer's inhabitants had joined the Council of Worlds, many of them emigrated to Cybertron while Carcer himself was being repaired, Greenlight among them. She and [[Lancer]] were trying to enjoy a quiet drink together at Maccadam's when a [[Drunkatron|drunk Decepticon]] harassed them. After Lancer told him he wasn't making any sense, Greenlight stated that the couple were from Carcer, anyway, and that he should get lost. {{storylink|07:00:00}}

As she and Lancer were loitering, Carcer's sensors picked up an army of [[zombie]] [[Titan (group)|Titans]] headed towards Cybertron, alerting [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] of the threat. {{storylink|Ping}} After Elita had refused to transform Carcer into [[robot mode]], Lancer and Greenlight exchanged guilty glances but ultimately remained loyal to the First. {{storylink|Desperate Times}} When the Cybertronian fleet tried to claim Carcer by force, Greenlight and Lancer remained in the control room, reporting everything to Obsidian, including the hull breach that had sealed itself suspiciously fast. {{storylink|Desperate Measures (Till All Are One)|Desperate Measures}}

When Windblade awoke Carcer however, Cybertron learnt he was truly Vigilem, the Titan of [[Liege Maximo]] who had freed his master before dying. When [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] was tasked to hunt down the rogue Prime, Greenlight and Lancer joined her aboard the ''[[Sabre]]''. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

Soon after heading out however, the trio came under attack from the Prime's [[Maximal]] enforcers, damaging their long range communications. By the time they'd repaired them, they were in [[G Nebula 89]] as the [[Decepticon Vengeance Division]] squared off against [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. Despite their immense firepower, the [[Decepticon fleet]] failed to damage the Chaos Bringer, with Chromia ordering the ship back to Cybertron once Unicron teleported away. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}} When the trio returned however, Unicron had now assumed a towering robot mode and had sent the mutated DVD against the [[Autobot fleet]] defending the planet. {{storylink|Our Finest}} As Unicron began to tear into Cybertron however, the [[Spectral Knight]]s used the [[magic]] of the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] to teleport the planet's population to the safe haven of [[Earth]], the fleet following shortly afterwards thanks to Elita One's sacrifice. {{storylink|Road's End}}

===2019 IDW continuity===
Inseparable from [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], Greenlight joined her partner outside the [[Pyramid (Cybertron)|Pyramid]] when she received a newborn to mentor. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}}

Unlike Chromia from the same line, who merely resembles the original mold, her ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style combiner parts are left intact, allowing her to form an arm or leg for any combiner from the ''Combiner Wars'' or ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' toylines. She includes the Prime Armor Combiner hand from the aforementioned line, in addition to Dazzlestrike, a redeco of ''Siege'' [[Lionizer (G1)#Generations|Lionizer]] with a new effect part.

:In the U.S., Greenlight and Dazzlestrike were available only online, via Amazon, and only to Amazon Prime members.

: The original version of the figure was retooled into ''Power of the Primes'' [[Firestar (G1)#Generations|Novastar]].

==Notes==
*Greenlight was only known as the "Unnamed Green Female Autobot" for a good 25 years until she was named in the ''[[Transformers Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]]'' text story, "[[Flames of Yesterday]]", as were a handful of other previously-unnamed female Autobots.
*The Club Udon special edition cover to ''[[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers: The Art of War]]'' [[The Art of War issue 2|#2]], which is dedicated to the ladies of the two brands, surprisingly features what appears to be Lancer with Greenlight's colors. This is the only instance during the 25 years between the airing of "The Search for Alpha Trion" and the publication of "Flames of Yesterday" that these characters have been referenced.
*In the 2005 IDW continuity, Greenlight and Lancer are a romantic couple, the first on-panel female couple shown in a ''Transformers'' story, though [[Proxima (G1)|Proxima]] and [[Acceleron]] were the first mentioned.

Magaroja: /* War for Cybertron: Siege */

{{suite}}
[[File:G1Skywarp package art.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67]]
[[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] has always looked and will always look a lot like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. There are many [[Starscream (G1)/toys|toys of Starscream]] and where there is a Starscream toy, a Skywarp toy soon follows.

==Toys==
===The Transformers===
[[File:G1toy skywarp.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2.2]][[File:G1catalog84-DecepticonPlanes-Redeco.jpg|right|thumb]]
*'''Skywarp''' (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''23'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, 2 "Machine Guns", left & right wings, left & right rudders, left & right tail fins, landing gear

: Skywarp began life as a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Jet Robo", but unlike team-mates [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]], with whom he shares his mold, his distinctive black-and-purple deco did ''not'' originate in that line. Skywarp transforms into an {{w|F-15 Eagle}} fighter jet, by a process which essentially involves removing and reattaching most of his plane parts. Though it is possible to do so without removing all of them, this rather piecemeal design and the fact that neither mode uses all his parts means it can be quite difficult to find an intact original Skywarp on the secondary market.

:Skywarp is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in robot mode, and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short rockets are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Skywarp's machine guns. The original ''Diaclone'' version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.

:While the earliest releases of Skywarp were basically identical to the ''Diaclone'' mold, some small modifications were soon made to the figure which became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. These included the hollowing out of the inner edges of his wings and the tips of his tail-wings, the lengthening of the pegs on his wings, and the addition of extra clips on the inner sides of his fist-gauntlets, allowing them to grip his arms better but creating a visible slit on them. Like all his 1984 brethren, Skywarp gained a factory-applied [[rubsign]] in 1985, which was added to the left side of his fuselage.

:For some reason, the stats on Skywarp's, Starscream's and Thundercracker's [[Tech Spec]]s were switched around. Skywarp's box was given Starscream's numbers, giving him a high intelligence and rank that stood in contrast to the bio printed next to them.

:Early Hasbro stock photos of Skywarp (right) show him with a plastic purple nosecone. This was changed to a soft, black rubber nosecone when the toy was actually released. However, a [http://tfarchive.com/toys/articles/toypics/mex_skywarp.jpg Mexican variant] retained the purple plastic nosecone. The same stock photos also show him with purple launchers with black triggers and muzzle rings, black feet, black shins, black outer arm panels, purple horizontal stabilizers, and both sets of purple missiles. These stock photos were also later used to promote Takara's 2001 reissue (see below).

:The Italian release of Skywarp (as "Corvo") by [[GiG]] put him in a generic "Distructor Planes" box, featuring names and tech specs for all three planes in the assortment.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] and retooled to make [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]].

The two halves of his rifle store in his lower legs. Like all ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' toys, Skywarp was an [[exclusive]] to Kay-Bee stores and related stores like Toy Liquidators.

: The toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the [[Skywarp drone]]s. This mold is also used by ''[[Beast Wars II (toyline)|Beast Wars II]]'' [[Dirge (BWII)#Toys|Dirge]], [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|''Robots in Disguise'' (2001)]] [[Skyfire (RID)|Skyfire]], ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' [[Wingstun#Toys|Wingstun]] and ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Waspinator (BW)/toys#Timelines 2|Waspinator]].

**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, 2 "Machine Guns", left & right wings, left & right rudders, left & right tail fins, landing gear
:The original Skywarp toy was reissued for the first time in 2001 as part of Takara's small "[[Collector's Edition]]" series, which made several Generation 1 toys available as convention [[exclusive]]s. Sold in new open-faced packaging with no notable changes from the original figure, Skywarp was an exclusive at the Japanese science fiction convention "Super Festival 21", available only in a set with Thundercracker and limited to 1000 pieces. The pair are often mistakenly identified as [[e-HOBBY]] exclusives.

**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, 2 "Machine Guns", left & right wings, left & right rudders, left & right tail fins, landing gear

:The original Skywarp toy was made available again as part of Hasbro's line of [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] reissues. Released in the fourth wave of the series, it featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. His machine guns didn't turn out ''too'' bad; the missiles didn't fare so well. Rather than correct the erroneous Tech Spec numbers from Skywarp's original release, this reissue retained them and instead features a slightly re-written bio to remove the contradictions.

**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]] in his Generation 1 colors. He transforms into a Cybertronic fighter jet, armed with two spring-loaded projectile launchers that can fire orange "energon" bolts. These launchers end up in his arms in robot mode. He has a third robot mode that collapses the legs around the cockpit (oh hush), with flip-out panels revealing an extra pair of thrusters. His [[spark]] crystal, revealed by flipping the purple hatch on his back, has a Decepticon [[insignia]] [[tampograph]]ed on top of it.

:Although most previous versions of the mold have the wingtips swept forward in vehicle mode, Skywarp was packaged and depicted in his instructions with the wingtips swept back. His fictional appearances, however, use the conventional arrangement shown here.

:Skywarp was also used to make ''Beast Machines'' [[Aero Drone|Sonic Attack Jet]], ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Storm Jet (RID)|Storm Jet]], and ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Jhiaxus (RID)|Jhiaxus]].

*'''Skywarp''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF X-1'''

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' product, Skywarp is, of course, a redeco of this line's Starscream. Like all toys in the series, he is a tiny, simplified version of the original Generation 1 toy, transforming into an F-15 fighter jet, with most of the accessories from the original toy faithfully translated save for his machine guns. As with all previous waves of ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'', these figures were sold [[blindpacking|blindpacked]], with Skywarp as one of the wave's two rare [[chase figure]]s

: This mold was redecoed into ''Smallest Transforming'' Thundercracker, and retooled to make Thrust.

*'''Skywarp & Thundercracker''' (Multi-pack, 2005)
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Machine Guns"

: ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] from the same series, a smaller yet more advanced version of the original toy, adding more articulation and reducing the amount of [[Partformer|part-forming]] required. He was available only in a two-pack with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]], which also came with a Decepticon sigil pin and chromed missile pods. This set was the very last product released in the ''Robotmasters'' line and wasn't even strictly sold in a box from that series; instead, it used an [[e-HOBBY]] Generation 1 reissue box, with a small ''Robotmasters'' sticker in the corner tab noting its origin from the front.

===Classics (2006)===

[[File:Class06-toy Skywarp.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|Ultra Magnus isn't pictured because he was just pushed-well, you know.]]
*'''Ultra Magnus vs Skywarp: Battle For Autobot City''' (Multi-pack, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles

: ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Skywarp is a Target-[[exclusive]] redeco and slight retool of ''Classics'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Starscream]], transforming into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-15 Eagle fighter jet]], though with a canopy like that of an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-14 Tomcat]]. Unlike previous (and future) figures, the shade of purple used for this figure has a more reddish tint to it. He comes with a pair of spring-loaded missile launchers that can be mounted on his biceps or used as hand-held weapons in robot mode and can attach under his wings in vehicle mode. As with most ''Classics'' toys, he also features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

: Skywarp was slightly [[retool]]ed from the earlier Starscream figures. The retool is present in the jet intake area. The slope of his shoulders was decreased from Starscream's, and a fifth rectangle was added to the vertical area. This retooled version was used for all subsequent releases of the mold, and was also used as a [[Variant#Running change|running change]] on Starscream.

: He was only available as part of a two-pack with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Classics|Ultra Magnus]]. The set's price was $19.99, despite including both a Voyager Class and Deluxe Class mold in it, which would be approximately $30 worth of toys if they had been sold separately. He was also available in Woolworth stores throughout the United Kingdom.

: [[Stock photography]] of ''Classics'' Skywarp showed [[:File:Classics Skywarp toy.jpg|a more detailed color scheme]] than the actual released figure. Much like ''Classics'' Ultra Magnus, the changes were most likely due to an overabundance of [[paint operation]]s. This more detailed version was shown at [[BotCon 2006]], and at least one sample found its way to a collector's hands. The sample also used the original Starscream mold, and not the retooled version mentioned above.

*'''Skywarp''' (2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-6'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Machine Guns", 2 AIM missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot, Megatron Gun clasp, display stand

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Skywarp was released in Japan in September of 2007. He is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] mold in black, gray, silver, and purple, though the purple and silver are more minimal than usual. Skywarp is able to switch between a minimally retooled stoic face and a new snarly face, retooled from Starscream's previous smirk. The tiny [[Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figurine (this time molded black) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Masterpiece Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime]].

: The sticker sheet includes Skywarp-esque stripes, as well as several whimsical squadron markings.

:The second pressing of ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp (released in October 2008) features an assembly error: his left and right pectorals are flipped. This misassembly does not affect transformation at all, and is really only noticeable when compared to prior ''Masterpiece'' Seekers. The September 2007 pressing of ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp is assembled correctly. ''Masterpiece'' Thundercracker is misassembled as well.

:It is a common misconception that the stoic face on Takara's ''Masterpiece'' Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker are the same, when all of them are in fact different sculpts.

:This mold was later used for the ''Masterpiece'' version of [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thundercracker]]. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh ''Masterpiece'' figure, [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|Starscream]].

*'''Skywarp''' ([[2015]]-[[January 5|01-05]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-11SW'''
***''Accessories:'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP11SW|Megatron Gun]], Doctor Arkeville pilot

:A redeco of the newer ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 Starscream]] mold, Skywarp features some extensive retooling to wind the ''Masterpiece'' Seeker design back into the more Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered Machine Guns attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation.

:The figure features flip-up missile racks built into his pectorals. He comes with the original version of the Megatron gun that first came with ''Masterpiece'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|Optimus Prime]]. He also comes with a Doctor Arkeville pilot figure identical to the previous MP-6 release.

:Skywarp's deco is heavily based on his cartoon appearance and features the rarely reproduced in toy form entirely purple shoulders and arm cannons. Despite the focus on cartoon accuracy in his deco, he carries over the striping on his forearms, shoulders, and pectorals similar to his original MP-6 Masterpiece release.

:Skywarp was only released in China via Hasbro Asia under the TakaraTomy label; marking the second time an original TakaraTomy Masterpiece toy wasn't released for the Japanese market ([[Megatron (G1)/toys#MasterpieceGoldMegs|Masterpiece Megatron Gold Version]] was the first).

:On [[November 30]], [[2016]] MP-11SW Skywarp was released in Japan for the first time as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive. There are notable differences between this release and the original almost two years prior. The shade of purple used on the later release is more warm and less cool in tone. His biceps and knee flaps are now molded in black plastic rather than in purple plastic painted a glossy black. The inner portion of his upper chest is no longer painted silver mold molded in silver plastic. Many of the paint operations are also slightly different in color from the earlier Hasbro Asia release. Hasbro Asia also re-released the figure to coincide with the Japanese release.

:When purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Skywarp comes with a collector coin, mounted on a card resembling his wings, complete with his signature wing stripes. The coin was reissued in 2016, without change, alongside the figure.

: [[Titanium Series]] ''[[War Within (toyline)|War Within]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Thundercracker]], transforming into a Cybertronian "tetrajet" as reimagined by [[Don Figueroa]]. As with all 6-inch Titanium Cybertron Heroes, he is constructed mostly of fully painted die-cast metal. He was available only at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] after the Titanium line had already been cancelled, and also Hasbro Toy Shop's booth at {{w|San Diego Comic-Con}} 2008.

: This mold was also used to make ''War Within'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Starscream]], [[Sunstorm (G1)#Titanium Series|Sunstorm]], and [[Thrust (G1)#Titanium Series|Thrust]].

*'''Skywarp''' (Deluxe, 2008)

: ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Skywarp is a [[Toy Hobby Market]] exclusive redeco of ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]]. Skywarp and his fellow [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] were opened for pre-order on [[May 22]]nd through [[June 20]], and mailed out in September 2008.

:Soon after release, there were numerous complaints from both Japanese and Western collectors about the poor quality control for both Thundercracker and Skywarp. Skywarp's most common fault was missing paint for one of his shoulders. Some reported both toys suffering misassembly issues such as having two left or two right thighs.

:Several minor changes were made to this mold for this release. The holes for his missile launchers in his arms were widened, as were the launcher's insertion pegs. The wing's missile launcher insertion points were lengthened and are now curved at the end. The last rectangle on his air intakes was further modified from the [[Transformers: Classics|Classics]] version, this time the bottom most rectangle goes completely across the air intake's surface rather than just the center. ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Thundercracker and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' Starscream also saw most of these changes.

*'''Masterpiece Skywarp''' (2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Machine Guns", 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip, two-piece display stand
: A [[Walmart]] exclusive redeco of the original ''Masterpiece'' Starscream mold. Just like Starscream, Skywarp is able to switch between two different faces. This release uses the Starscream's stoic and smirking alternate faces rather than the Takara ''Masterpiece'' Skywarp's newly-tooled stoic and snarling faces. Hasbro designer [[Joe Kyde]] felt the alternate snarling face did not fit Skywarp's prankster personality, so he went with the Starscream smirk face instead when designing the deco for Hasbro's release. As a result of gang molding, Skywarp also uses Starscream's stoic face, the decision being the difference between Skywarp and Starscream's stoic face was negligible enough not to make a significant difference. The toy also features a more G1 toy styled deco rather than cartoon-based, particularly in the yellow eye color and wing stripes. His purple more closely matches that of the original toy than the purple used on the Takara version, and features a lighter flat black, like the original toy, instead of Takara's darker glossy black. The Hasbro version replaces some of the dark gray of the Takara version with a dark silver, removes the arm and chest striping, but adds additional red detailing, while removing some as well. Much like Hasbro's Starscream, he does not feature any of the warning or slogan tampographs, but features tampographed striping, Decepticon symbols, and some additional paint details not present on the Takara version. The nosecone features black paint over purple plastic, allowing for easy customization of "Mexican Masterpiece Skywarp".
: The tiny Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine (molded in black with no paint applications) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with ''Masterpiece'' Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime and a stand (featuring Skywarp's name) with a support beam for jet or robot mode.
: Masterpiece Skywarp was also available as an Argos exclusive in the [[United Kingdom]].

:Skywarp's original toy was reissued again as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series, this time in a two-pack with his erstwhile partner, Thundercracker. This release of the figure replaced his Decepticon symbol stickers with [[tampograph]]s, and changed his purple stickers to a much bluer shade. Curiously, although Thundercracker's wing stripes were replaced with tampographs, Skywarp's remained factory-applied stickers.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''A-04'''

:Skywarp is a [[retool]] of the simultaneously released ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Alternity|Starscream]] with a new head, transforming into a licensed 1:32 scale {{w|Mitsuoka Orochi}}. Like the other toys in the line, he features [[die-cast]] metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. This is also currently the only ''Alternity'' mold to feature [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|a fake kibble chest]].

:In car mode, small wings are ''supposed to'' be able to flip out from under Skywarp's rear wheels, giving him the appearance of a flying car. Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath ''deforming the rims and chipping the tires''. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s ''very easily''.

:This mold, with Skywarp's head, was also used to make [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Alternity|Thundercracker]] and [[Banzai-Tron (G1)#Alternity|Banzai-Tron]].

He transforms into an F-15 with many fuselage details borrowed from the Masterpiece version. This is also the first Seeker mold in many years to attempt an entirely new transformation, with the arms now forming the rear of the jet and the legs folding under the wings. Skywarp was available only in Japan, and like many Japanese "EZ Collection" toys, was [[blindpacking|blindpacked]].

These same Kreon accessories were also used for [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Thundercracker]].

: A variation of Skywarp exists where initial versions of the figure feature chrome purple toes. Later versions omitted this detail. The [[stock photography]], by the way, shows him with purple-plastic legs rather than black.

: This version of Skywarp is heavily based on his cartoon appearance. He features a glossy black, a medium warm purple, shiny metallic purple paint on most of his purple plastic, and an amber cockpit. Paint operations found on the Henkei! Henkei! release were shuffled around for the sake of cartoon accuracy, up to and including purple shoulders.
: Original photos of Skywarp showed him with show-accurate all purple arm cannons, but due to gang molding (and lack of additional paint operations) only the upper most portion of his arm cannons ended up purple.

: Part of the [[TakaraTomy]] ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' line, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Skywarp is a redeco of ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Starscream (WFC)#Generations|Starscream]], and transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. His color layout is based on that seen in ''War for Cybertron'' promotional material, with purple wings, although much of the black is replaced with a dark metallic gray.

:Skywarp comes with two spinning, triple-barreled "assault cannons" which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the [[Neutron assault rifle]] from ''Fall of Cybertron''. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Skywarp features numerous 5mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides. Additionally, his tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the two pegs found on the underside of the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle's top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.

This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.

:Skywarp is minimally mis-transformed in-package: his jet mode nosecone is extended, rather than folded in as it should be in robot mode. He comes packaged with a copy of [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[Winners & Losers: Dark Cybertron Chapter 3|''Robots in Disguise'' #23]].

:Despite using a mold matching [[Skywarp (WFC)|Skywarp]]'s appearance in ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', this toy ''technically'' represents G1 Skywarp, thanks to his [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] pack-in fiction. Consequently, the toy is listed in the former's page as a [[repurposing]].

: Hellwarp is a black, purple and grey [[redeco]] of [[Transformers: Generations|''Generations'']] Voyager Class [[Sky-Byte (RID)#Generations|Sky-Byte]] as a both roundabout and direct homage to [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|''Beast Wars II'']] [[Starscream (BWII)#Hellscream|Hellscream]]. He transforms into a bio-mechanical great white shark and is armed with a gear-activated spinning claw weapon that can fire a missile. His [[beast mode]] articulation consists of an opening mouth and a tail that moves up and down. There is a hexagonal peghole underneath him which is compatible with some collector display stands. As with the rest of the ''Cloud'' Decepticons, Hellwarp is an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive, and he comes with the "[[TFC-D04]]" comic.

**''ID number:'' '''QT-30'''

:A redeco and minor retool of ''[[Q-Transformers]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Q-Transformers|Starscream]], Skywarp transforms from a [[super deformed]] F-15 to a cute chubby little robot. His facial expression has been changed from Starscream's smirk into a crazy grin.

:This mold was also retooled into ''Q-Transformers'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Q-Transformers|Thundercracker]] and [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Q-Transformers|Jetfire]].

:During the second ''Q-Transformers'' series, the Skywarp toy was available in a three-pack alongside [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Q-Transformers|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Q-Transformers|Thundercracker]]. He is identical to the original ''Q-Transformers'' toy.

===Decoy===
[[File:Decoy skywarp.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.2|Mini-wave in celebration of me! WooOOoo!]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)

:Skywarp was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Skywarp was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. He is, surprisingly enough, ''not'' identical to either Starscream or Thundercracker: the stance of his legs and the position of his Decepticon symbols differ, but he is, of course, most prominently distinguished by his raised arms.

:Skywarp was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, in a peach coloration randomly packed in several box sets and with other products produced by Takara subsidiary [[Seven]], and in a wide variety of colours in "gachapon" capsule machines.

*'''Skywarp''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''33'''

: The Skywarp figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (33, in Skywarp's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

*'''Skywarp''' (Lucky Draw figure, 2001)

: ''[[Super Collection Figure]]'' Skywarp is a non-transforming three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine, [[redeco]]ed from ''SCF'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]]. Limited to 200 pieces, he was only available as the second place prize in a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] contest held in conjunction with the first edition of ''[[Transformers Generations]]'' (with the "[[Starscream (G1)/toys#SecretStarscream|Secret Starscream]]" toy as the first place prize). Due to the bankruptcy of the ''Transformers: Generations'' publisher, [[Keibunsha]], it is unknown whether the Japanese version of Skywarp was ever actually sent out or not.

: This mold was also used to make ''Super Collection Figure'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] and ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' (see below) Starscream, Thundercracker, [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] and the [[Air Warrior]]s.

*'''Skywarp''' (2002)
: When the ''Super Collection Figure'' line was brought to the US as ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'', Skywarp was widely released as part of the first wave. As was the standard for the line, Skywarp was made from translucent red plastic that was mostly painted over, giving him [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes. In addition, he is distinguished from his ''Super Collection Figure'' counterpart by grey knee-vents and black foot-panels, versus the respetive purple and grey applications on the original (though several samples of the figure were missing the foot-panel paint, including the one shown at the TFU link below).

*'''Skywarp''' (2004, unreleased)

[[File:OTFCCSkywarp.jpg|thumb|Doesn't so much teleport as not exist in the first place.]]

: A redeco of ''Mega Super Figure Collection'' G1 Starscream (minus the extra coronation accessories), Skywarp was to be among the first of the fan club exclusives offered by [[BotCon#BotCon history|OTFCC]] as well as the first in their ''Legends of Cybertron'' line. The figure was delayed and never saw a full release due to [[3H Productions|3H Enterprises]] losing the license to run the official Transformers fan club. At least a couple of sample versions were produced, of those most (but not all) had the open-palm hands and the hand wielding Megatron in gun mode painted blue rather than the correct purple.

He can stand normally or use a stand to take on a "hovering" pose. Skywarp was limited to 300 pieces, and sculpted by [[3L Creation Group]] from a design by [[George Tremarco]].

He was to be a [[retool]] of sorts of the similarly unreleased ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], using the same weapon and base but a brand new jet mold. Skywarp would've been able to detach from his base and fly on a string, enabling him to get better shots at opposing pieces. Any other details about his role in the game are unknown.

Featuring eight ball-jointed points of articulation. Unlike the other [[1984]] style Seekers, a Skywarp is not a redeco of the Starscream and Thundercracker figurine from the first wave (who were later redecoed to create the [[Rainmaker]] trio and [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]), but an all new mold with different construction and parts than his predecessors. He is slightly larger than the other '84 Seekers and features more moving parts. He does share some parts with the simultaneously released [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]], and fellow chase figure [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]]. For every 96 figures from wave 2 of The Loyal Subjects, there is 1 Skywarp.

*'''Skywarp''' (09-2015)
**''ID number:'' 48

:A super deformed Skywarp model kit produced by [[Kotobukiya]] as part of their franchise-spanning ''[[D-Style]]'' line. Like [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#D-Style|Megatron]] he comes with three different faces and in line with the rest of the line, comes with a mini alt mode figure, in this case an F15 jet. He also contains a replaceable open hand. His chest contains flip-up panels in his chest that reveal missile racks based on the weapons seen in the Generation 1 episode "Fire on the Mountain". The null rays can be removed and wielded as guns, and he can also hold Megatron's gun.

:In order to get the figure looking like the promotional photos, required paint applications include coloring the screaming mouth, chest fans and panel lines, missile rack surrounds, null ray panel lines, and knee vents all in black. Eyes and cockpit come in translucent colored plastic and can also be painted to improve their look. Finally, the mini F15 jet comes as a single black piece and is missing all coloring.

:He comes in a two pack along with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#D-Style|Thundercracker]].

:This mold was also used to make ''D-Style'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#D-Style|Starscream]].

He also features LED light up eyes, Decepticon insignias on his wings, null rays and thrusters in his feet, for use when he's "hovering", mounted on the included display stand.

:This figure was also redecoed with a different new face into Mecha Nations [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Mecha Nations|Thundercracker]], with whom he was a 2015 Toy Soul exhibition exclusive.

*'''Skywarp''' (06-2017)
:Part of the second wave of Transformers Bitfig capsule toys, Skywarp's is a redco of the previously released Starscream toy whose design is inspired by his appearance in the G1 cartoon. Skywarp is articulated at the neck and shoulders. Bitfig toys were packaged in capsules color coded to the toy they contained.

==Notes==
[[File:Skywarpatron.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb]]
*In a possible fit of madness, a triple changer was proposed that would switch between Skywarp (possibly mistaken for Starscream), [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], and Skywarp's jet mode.
*In modern times, Skywarp is often the last of the three primary Decepticon Seekers to see the use of a toyline's respective Seeker mold. This often leads to his figures becoming prominent shelfwarmers at the tail end of a line's run.

*'''Autobot Greenlight & Dazzlestrike''' (Deluxe Class multipack, [[2019]])
**''ID number'': '''WFC-S15'''
**''Accessories'': Slashing "Fire Blast" effect
:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Dazzlestrike is a [[repaint]] of the single-packed [[Battle Master]] [[Lionizer (G1)#Generations|Lionizer]], transforming from robotic lion with a back-mounted blaster cannon into the Shadowsteel Iceblade. The cannon can also fold down and act as a much bigger tail. As a part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], its weapon mode can be attached to any toy with a [[5 mm post]]-hole. Thanks to the handle being on a swivel-joint, its weapon mode can also be mounted perpendicularly, such as on a robot's forearm or on the side/top of a vehicle mode, without sticking straight out and looking ridiculous. Thanks to the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, the back of the blade has a 3 mm post where the "Fire Blast" piece would attach.

:The figure includes a new "Fire Blast" effect piece to simulate a fiery slashing attack, clipping onto the back side of the blade or the handle in beast mode, simulating a pounce effect. Dazzlestrike is packaged with [[Greenlight#Generations|Greenlight]].

==Notes==
*The figure's name is spelled "Dazlestrike" with one "z" on the front of the packaging, whereas on the back and in the instructions, it's spelled "Dazzlestrike" with a double "z". We're operating under the assumption that the spelling that makes more sense is the correct one, and the other one is a typo.
*The character's box-art is the same as ''Siege'' [[Lionizer (G1)|Lionizer]]'s.

:''Greenlight is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Femaleautobot green.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|THREETWOONE]]
'''Greenlight''', back when she was impetuous and untested, was once one of Cybertron's most promising young scientists. But then the war came. Unlike before, when she could only abstractly mourn for the lives lost, it took the loss of a friend to make her realize that she, too, had a stake in the outcome.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
[[File:Femaleautobots.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Pssst, hey, Greenlight, pay attention!]]
Greenlight was a member of the [[Female Autobots]], an underground resistance movement on Cybertron. Four million years ago, she and the other Female Autobots tried to board the Ark, but they failed and were thought destroyed until they were rediscovered in modern times.

Greenlight was manning a series of monitors in the team's secret underground headquarters when [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] and her team returned from their energy-stealing mission. Later, when their headquarters was located and destroyed, she and [[Lancer]] freed [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] from the debris. Sticking with the rest of the team, she did her share in the fight against the Decepticons and could again later be seen manning a series of monitors in the team's new base. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}
{{-}}

====''Wings Universe''====
{{Wingsnote}}
Greenlight and [[Lancer]] were amateur historians and the assistants of the archaeometrist named [[Glyph (Universe)|Glyph]]. They were assigned to [[Flip Sides (G1)|Flipsides]]'s excavation site in [[Median]], where they uncovered a mysterious artifact known as the [[Heart of the Dragon]]. Unfortunately, Decepticon raiders from [[Quarex]] also learned of their discovery. The historians requested aid from the [[Elite Guard|Autobot Elite Guard]] to defend themselves and their find. Greenlight helped [[Strika (BM)|Strika]], Lancer and the Elite Guard fortify Median against [[Rage (G1)|Rage]]'s [[Stormtrooper (G1)|Stormtrooper]]s. Unlike her fellow neophyte Lancer, however, Greenlight showed no interest in engaging the enemy. She remained in hiding near the dig with Glyph and Flip Sides while the others fought off the Decepticons. Rage and [[Aquablast]] managed to infiltrate the defenses and reach the chamber where the historians were hiding, though, and Aquablast killed Glyph before Greenlight's optics. They were only saved by the last minute arrival of Lancer, wielding a borrowed laser weapon. {{storylink|Flames of Yesterday}}

When the Autobots' current reserve of energies was dangerously low, Greenlight joined her comrades still on Cybertron in stasis hibernation as an energy-saving measure. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[The Will of the Few|''The Transformers: Windblade'' vol. 2 #7]]}}
[[File:TheWillOfTheFew-greenlight.jpg|thumb|250px|>Be me]]
Greenlight served aboard the permanently spacefaring Titan [[Vigilem|Carcer]], under the command of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]. Having been unable to keep [[Lancer]] from getting too friendly during roll call, the two were assigned to guard Carcer's space bridge, as Cybertronians had recently come through it, violently clashing with [[Devastator (G1)|each]] [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|other]]. Greenlight grew increasingly bored, saying that no one had used the space bridge in weeks, and she wasn't really sure that actual Cybertronians had come through it. Lancer assured her that they had, and almost immediately after, the bridge activated. While Lancer radioed the bridge of the ship, Greenlight joined with the other reinforcements in "welcoming" [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] to their ship.{{storylink|The Will of the Few}}
[[File:0700-greenlightandlancer.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
After Carcer's inhabitants had joined the Council of Worlds, many of them emigrated to Cybertron while Carcer himself was being repaired, Greenlight among them. She and [[Lancer]] were trying to enjoy a quiet drink together at Maccadam's when a [[Drunkatron|drunk Decepticon]] harassed them. After Lancer told him he wasn't making any sense, Greenlight stated that the couple were from Carcer, anyway, and that he should get lost. {{storylink|07:00:00}}

As she and Lancer were loitering, Carcer's sensors picked up an army of [[zombie]] [[Titan (group)|Titans]] headed towards Cybertron, alerting [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] of the threat. {{storylink|Ping}} After Elita had refused to transform Carcer into [[robot mode]], Lancer and Greenlight exchanged guilty glances but ultimately remained loyal to the First. {{storylink|Desperate Times}} When the Cybertronian fleet tried to claim Carcer by force, Greenlight and Lancer remained in the control room, reporting everything to Obsidian, including the hull breach that had sealed itself suspiciously fast. {{storylink|Desperate Measures (Till All Are One)|Desperate Measures}}

When Windblade awoke Carcer however, Cybertron learnt he was truly Vigilem, the Titan of [[Liege Maximo]] who had freed his master before dying. When [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] was tasked to hunt down the rogue Prime, Greenlight and Lancer joined her aboard the ''[[Sabre]]''. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

Soon after heading out however, the trio came under attack from the Prime's [[Maximal]] enforcers, damaging their long range communications. By the time they'd repaired them, they were in [[G Nebula 89]] as the [[Decepticon Vengeance Division]] squared off against [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. Despite their immense firepower, the [[Decepticon fleet]] failed to damage the Chaos Bringer, with Chromia ordering the ship back to Cybertron once Unicron teleported away. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}} When the trio returned however, Unicron had now assumed a towering robot mode and had sent the mutated DVD against the [[Autobot fleet]] defending the planet. {{storylink|Our Finest}} As Unicron began to tear into Cybertron however, the [[Spectral Knight]]s used the [[magic]] of the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] to teleport the planet's population to the safe haven of [[Earth]], the fleet following shortly afterwards thanks to Elita One's sacrifice. {{storylink|Road's End}}

:For her first figure since her debut in 1985, Greenlight is a minor retool of [[Power of the Primes (toyline)|''Power of the Primes'']] [[Moonracer (G1)#Generations|Moonracer]], featuring a new headsculpt while removing the 5mm ports from her forearms. Unlike Chromia from the same line, who merely resembles the original mold, her ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style combiner parts are left intact, allowing her to form an arm or leg for any combiner from the ''Combiner Wars'' or ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' toylines. She includes the Prime Armor Combiner hand from the aforementioned line, in addition to Dazzlestrike, a redeco of ''Siege'' [[Lionizer (G1)#Generations|Lionizer]] with a new effect part.

==Notes==
*Greenlight was only known as the "Unnamed Green Female Autobot" for a good 25 years until she was named in the ''[[Transformers Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]]'' text story, "[[Flames of Yesterday]]", as were a handful of other previously-unnamed female Autobots.
*The Club Udon special edition cover to ''[[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers: The Art of War]]'' [[The Art of War issue 2|#2]], which is dedicated to the ladies of the two brands, surprisingly features what appears to be Lancer with Greenlight's colors. This is the only instance during the 25 years between the airing of "The Search for Alpha Trion" and the publication of "Flames of Yesterday" that these characters have been referenced.
*In the 2005 IDW continuity, Greenlight and Lancer are a romantic couple, the first on-panel female couple shown in a ''Transformers'' story, though [[Proxima (G1)|Proxima]] and [[Acceleron]] were the first mentioned.

[[File:WFC-Siege-C.O.M.B.A.T.-System-examples.jpg|thumb|300px|And that's how, with a few minor adjustments, you can turn a regular gun into five guns.]]
The '''Cybertronian Omnifunctional Modular Battlefield Assault Tech System'''<ref>[http://www.toyhypeusa.com/2018/10/04/hasbro-nycc-2018-transformers-war-for-cybertron-seige-official-press-release-event-coverage/ Toy Hype USA, 4 Oct 2018: "Hasbro NYCC 2018 – Transformers War For Cybertron: Seige Official Press Release & Event Coverage"]</ref> — or the '''C.O.M.B.A.T. System''' for short — is a type of modular weapons technology purported to be the most advanced in the universe. Employed by the [[Transformer]]s in the final days of their conflict on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], C.O.M.B.A.T. weapons can convert into alternate forms suited for different types of combat or combine to become bigger and stronger.

==Toys==
===War for Cybertron: Siege===
Weapons under the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' C.O.M.B.A.T. System have multiple [[5 mm post]] hardpoints on them so that they can be combined in various configurations (some official), and can sometimes transform into different weapons. [[Micromaster]]s, which are bundled in two packs, are able to combine into large weapons as well as transform into their vehicle form. This size class is also used for Soundwave's minions, who can turn into cassettes or be used as a shield with fold-out pegs. "[[Battle Master]]s", small [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]-type figures, combine with other weapons and figures. They include additional "Fire Blast" effect pieces that can be placed onto other weapons included with other size classes, as well as hardpoints on the figures themselves to simulate being 'shot' or on the back of vehicles to simulate "rocket boosters" or "speed", depending on the effect part. Each effect part attaches via a 3 mm hole or, in most cases, 5 mm posts. Some Deluxe Class figures are classified as "Deluxe Weaponizers," which can be disassembled into multiple weapons to be used in the C.O.M.B.A.T. System.

{{faction|autobot}}
:''Greenlight is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Femaleautobot green.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|THREETWOONE]]
'''Greenlight''', back when she was impetuous and untested, was once one of Cybertron's most promising young scientists. But then the war came. Unlike before, when she could only abstractly mourn for the lives lost, it took the loss of a friend to make her realize that she, too, had a stake in the outcome.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
[[File:Femaleautobots.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Pssst, hey, Greenlight, pay attention!]]
Greenlight was a member of the [[Female Autobots]], an underground resistance movement on Cybertron. Four million years ago, she and the other Female Autobots tried to board the Ark, but they failed and were thought destroyed until they were rediscovered in modern times.

Greenlight was manning a series of monitors in the team's secret underground headquarters when [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] and her team returned from their energy-stealing mission. Later, when their headquarters was located and destroyed, she and [[Lancer]] freed [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] from the debris. Sticking with the rest of the team, she did her share in the fight against the Decepticons and could again later be seen manning a series of monitors in the team's new base. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}
{{-}}

====''Wings Universe''====
{{Wingsnote}}
Greenlight and [[Lancer]] were amateur historians and the assistants of the archaeometrist named [[Glyph (Universe)|Glyph]]. They were assigned to [[Flip Sides (G1)|Flipsides]]'s excavation site in [[Median]], where they uncovered a mysterious artifact known as the [[Heart of the Dragon]]. Unfortunately, Decepticon raiders from [[Quarex]] also learned of their discovery. The historians requested aid from the [[Elite Guard|Autobot Elite Guard]] to defend themselves and their find. Greenlight helped [[Strika (BM)|Strika]], Lancer and the Elite Guard fortify Median against [[Rage (G1)|Rage]]'s [[Stormtrooper (G1)|Stormtrooper]]s. Unlike her fellow neophyte Lancer, however, Greenlight showed no interest in engaging the enemy. She remained in hiding near the dig with Glyph and Flip Sides while the others fought off the Decepticons. Rage and [[Aquablast]] managed to infiltrate the defenses and reach the chamber where the historians were hiding, though, and Aquablast killed Glyph before Greenlight's optics. They were only saved by the last minute arrival of Lancer, wielding a borrowed laser weapon. {{storylink|Flames of Yesterday}}

When the Autobots' current reserve of energies was dangerously low, Greenlight joined her comrades still on Cybertron in stasis hibernation as an energy-saving measure. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[The Will of the Few|''The Transformers: Windblade'' vol. 2 #7]]}}
[[File:TheWillOfTheFew-greenlight.jpg|thumb|250px|>Be me]]
Greenlight served aboard the permanently spacefaring Titan [[Vigilem|Carcer]], under the command of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]. Having been unable to keep [[Lancer]] from getting too friendly during roll call, the two were assigned to guard Carcer's space bridge, as Cybertronians had recently come through it, violently clashing with [[Devastator (G1)|each]] [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|other]]. Greenlight grew increasingly bored, saying that no one had used the space bridge in weeks, and she wasn't really sure that actual Cybertronians had come through it. Lancer assured her that they had, and almost immediately after, the bridge activated. While Lancer radioed the bridge of the ship, Greenlight joined with the other reinforcements in "welcoming" [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] to their ship.{{storylink|The Will of the Few}}
[[File:0700-greenlightandlancer.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
After Carcer's inhabitants had joined the Council of Worlds, many of them emigrated to Cybertron while Carcer himself was being repaired, Greenlight among them. She and [[Lancer]] were trying to enjoy a quiet drink together at Maccadam's when a [[Drunkatron|drunk Decepticon]] harassed them. After Lancer told him he wasn't making any sense, Greenlight stated that the couple were from Carcer, anyway, and that he should get lost. {{storylink|07:00:00}}

As she and Lancer were loitering, Carcer's sensors picked up an army of [[zombie]] [[Titan (group)|Titans]] headed towards Cybertron, alerting [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] of the threat. {{storylink|Ping}} After Elita had refused to transform Carcer into [[robot mode]], Lancer and Greenlight exchanged guilty glances but ultimately remained loyal to the First. {{storylink|Desperate Times}} When the Cybertronian fleet tried to claim Carcer by force, Greenlight and Lancer remained in the control room, reporting everything to Obsidian, including the hull breach that had sealed itself suspiciously fast. {{storylink|Desperate Measures (Till All Are One)|Desperate Measures}}

When Windblade awoke Carcer however, Cybertron learnt he was truly Vigilem, the Titan of [[Liege Maximo]] who had freed his master before dying. When [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] was tasked to hunt down the rogue Prime, Greenlight and Lancer joined her aboard the ''[[Sabre]]''. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

Soon after heading out however, the trio came under attack from the Prime's [[Maximal]] enforcers, damaging their long range communications. By the time they'd repaired them, they were in [[G Nebula 89]] as the [[Decepticon Vengeance Division]] squared off against [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. Despite their immense firepower, the [[Decepticon fleet]] failed to damage the Chaos Bringer, with Chromia ordering the ship back to Cybertron once Unicron teleported away. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}} When the trio returned however, Unicron had now assumed a towering robot mode and had sent the mutated DVD against the [[Autobot fleet]] defending the planet. {{storylink|Our Finest}} As Unicron began to tear into Cybertron however, the [[Spectral Knight]]s used the [[magic]] of the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] to teleport the planet's population to the safe haven of [[Earth]], the fleet following shortly afterwards thanks to Elita One's sacrifice. {{storylink|Road's End}}

===2019 IDW continuity===
Inseparable from [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], Greenlight joined her friend outside the [[Pyramid (Cybertron)|Pyramid]] when she received a newborn to mentor. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}}

[[File:WFC-Siege-Deluxe-Greenlight-&-Battle-Master-Dazlestrike-multipack.jpg|thumb|300px|>First toy is introduced in ''War For Cybertron: Siege''. >Has 5 mm holes removed from her forearms.]]
*'''Autobot Greenlight & Dazzlestrike''' (Deluxe Class multipack, [[2019]])
**''ID number'': '''WFC-S15'''
**''Accessories'': Prime Armor/combiner hand/"C-50 Sonic Electro-Armor", Prime Master gap filler/gun, [[Battle Master]] [[Dazzlestrike#Generations|Dazzlestrike]], slashing "Fire Blast" effect
:For her first figure since her debut in 1985, Greenlight is a minor retool of [[Power of the Primes (toyline)|''Power of the Primes'']] [[Moonracer (G1)#Generations|Moonracer]], featuring a new headsculpt while removing the 5mm ports from her forearms. Unlike Chromia from the same line, who merely resembles the original mold, her ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style combiner parts are left intact, allowing her to form an arm or leg for any combiner from the ''Combiner Wars'' or ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' toylines. She includes the Prime Armor Combiner hand from the aforementioned line, in addition to Dazzlestrike, a redeco of ''Siege'' [[Lionizer (G1)#Generations|Lionizer]] with a new effect part.

:In the U.S., Greenlight and Dazzlestrike were available only online, via Amazon, and only to Amazon Prime members.

: The original version of the figure was retooled into ''Power of the Primes'' [[Firestar (G1)#Generations|Novastar]].
{{-}}

==Notes==
*Greenlight was only known as the "Unnamed Green Female Autobot" for a good 25 years until she was named in the ''[[Transformers Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]]'' text story, "[[Flames of Yesterday]]", as were a handful of other previously-unnamed female Autobots.
*The Club Udon special edition cover to ''[[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers: The Art of War]]'' [[The Art of War issue 2|#2]], which is dedicated to the ladies of the two brands, surprisingly features what appears to be Lancer with Greenlight's colors. This is the only instance during the 25 years between the airing of "The Search for Alpha Trion" and the publication of "Flames of Yesterday" that these characters have been referenced.
*In the 2005 IDW continuity, Greenlight and Lancer are a romantic couple, the first on-panel female couple shown in a ''Transformers'' story, though [[Proxima (G1)|Proxima]] and [[Acceleron]] were the first mentioned.

[[File:WFC-Siege-Deluxe-Greenlight-&-Battle-Master-Dazlestrike-multipack.jpg|thumb|300px|"Shogun Megazord Fire Saber activate, now!"]]
'''Dazzlestrike''' (aka "'''Dazlestrike'''") is a [[Battle Master]] who looks similar to [[Lionizer (G1)|Lionizer]].

==Toys==
===Generations===
====War for Cybertron: Siege====
*'''Autobot Greenlight & Dazzlestrike''' (Deluxe Class multipack, [[2019]])
**''ID number'': '''WFC-S15'''
**''Accessories'': Slashing "Fire Blast" effect
:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Dazzlestrike is a [[repaint]] of the single-packed [[Battle Master]] [[Lionizer (G1)#Generations|Lionizer]], transforming from robotic lion with a back-mounted blaster cannon into the Shadowsteel Iceblade. The cannon can also fold down and act as a much bigger tail. As a part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], its weapon mode can be attached to any toy with a [[5 mm post]]-hole. Thanks to the handle being on a swivel-joint, its weapon mode can also be mounted perpendicularly, such as on a robot's forearm or on the side/top of a vehicle mode, without sticking straight out and looking ridiculous. Thanks to the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, the back of the blade has a 3 mm post where the "Fire Blast" piece would attach.

:The figure includes a new "Fire Blast" effect piece to simulate a fiery slashing attack, clipping onto the back side of the blade or the handle in beast mode, simulating a pounce effect. Dazzlestrike is packaged with [[Greenlight#Generations|Greenlight]].

==Notes==
*The figure's name is spelled "Dazlestrike" with one "z" on the front of the packaging, whereas on the back, it's spelled "Dazzlestrike" with a double "z". We're operating under the assumption that the spelling that makes more sense is the correct one, and the other one is a typo.
*The character's box-art is the same as ''Siege'' [[Lionizer (G1)|Lionizer]]'s.

:Soundwave is a Christmas tree ornament resembling a miniaturized version of the original Soundwave toy in robot mode, complete with casette-mode Laserbeak in his chest.

NOTE: Only Thunderwing is a Pretender in IDW. Firebal is an OC repurposed from Vroom's inner robot form. Stakeout, Fixit, Countdown, and likely Overload are not Gorlamites in IDW. Tailwind and Blackjack were depicted both as Gorlamites (who likely died) and Cybertronians. Both "versions" are listed here... though I think we should call the Gorlamite Tailwind [[Windrim]] (Gorlamite Blackjack, meanwhile, looks like him and not like [[Black Heat]]... God what an unfortunate name).

Magaroja:

==Legend==
*Alive (link to last issue unless it's {{storylink|Post}}/{{storylink|How To Say Goodbye And Mean It: Part 2}})
*<s>Dead</s> (link to issue)
*'''Status Unknown''' (link to last appearance)
*♠ Constructed Cold
*♦ Forged
*♣ Artificial
*''No appearances in IDW''

Both "versions" are listed here... though I think we should call the Gorlamite Tailwind [[Windrim]] (Gorlamite Blackjack, meanwhile, looks like him and not like [[Black Heat]]... God what an unfortunate name).

Magaroja:

I made this stupid page so that I could track who's alive and who's dead in IDW-verse. OK.

==Legend==
*Alive
*<s>Dead</s> (link to issue)
*'''Status Unknown''' (last seen before Dark Cybertron OR survival unknown, link to last appearance)
*♠ Constructed Cold
*♦ Forged
*♣ Artificial
*''No appearances in IDW''

Both "versions" are listed here... though I think we should call the Gorlamite Tailwind [[Windrim]] (Gorlamite Blackjack, meanwhile, looks like him and not like [[Black Heat]]... God what an unfortunate name).

:''Starscream is a [[Decepticon]] [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:CyberverseStarscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Between you and the Namekian, I think I've lost my touch at genocide.]]
One of the co-leaders of the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]]s and [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s [[second-in-command]]<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/cyberverse Character bios] at the official ''Cyberverse'' website</ref>, '''Starscream''' is the kind of guy who'd sell you out to Megatron in a heartbeat, then sell ''Megatron'' out to whoever offers him more power. He's not a very loyal sort, and often comes at odds with the heroic and loyal [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] - both traits Starscream despises.

Starscream was present when Megatron located the [[AllSpark]] on [[Earth]], {{storylink|Fractured}} and later contacted the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] shuttle he'd sent to the planet to find out how his scouts [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]] were doing on their search mission. He wasn't very happy when the [[Autobot]] [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] answered his call instead (the [[Decepticon]] scouts being buried under tons of rubble thanks to [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]). {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

*'''Starscream''' (Scout Class, 2018)
:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Scout Class Starscream is roughly the size of a Legends Class figure that converts from robot to <s>Gerwalk mode</s> jet with limbs (Also known as a "transformational mode") and back. His wings swing around in a spring loaded "Wing Slice" attack attached to his waist, which can be locked in using the landing gear.

:This is the only figure of the character that has knee joints.

:The figure was later redecoed into [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)#Toys|Slipstream]].

====Warrior Class====

*'''Starscream''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
:Released as part of the first wave of ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class lineup, this Starscream is a Deluxe-sized figure that converts from robot to jet and back. His "Wing Slice" [[Action Attack]] gimmick is activated by winding up a spring in his waist and releasing the upper part of the figure, allowing it to spin and flip out its spring-loaded wing blades with centrifugal force. The underside of these panels, normally hidden, are painted over in bright pink with large silver Decepticon [[Insignia]]. The waist can be locked in place by pegging his landing gear onto a peg on his backside. Additionally, he has non-firing Null Ray blasters molded into his forearms with [[5 mm post]] hole hands.

:While his arms have articulation comparable to other ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class toys, Starscream has the unusual distinction of having his hip swivels molded together, meaning the front-to-back movement is in tandem. He also lacks knees, likely due to his whole legs being cast from the same grey plastic. Despite this otherwise restricted movement, he can splay his legs out to the sides due to hinges on his hips, allowing splits and high kicks. Also unusual, the middle recess on his forehead is shown as unpainted in promotional images (including on the back of his box) and yellow in character art, but is painted in metallic blue on the actual toy. He lacks the red stripes on the inner wings on the final product as well.

:This mold was redecoed into [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)#Warrior Class|Thundercracker]] and [[Acid Storm (Cyberverse)#Warrior Class|Acid Storm]].
{{-}}

====Ultra Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Ultra-Starscream.jpg|thumb|300px|You see, that was my first guess.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Ultra Class, 2018)
:This ''Cyberverse'' Starscream is a Voyager-sized figure that converts from a robot to a jet with two giant missile pods under his wings and back. His Action Attack gimmick, when triggered, pops fourteen non-firing missiles from his missile pods (seven on each side), with molded 'smoke trails' to simulate a carpet bombing attack.

==Notes==
*As with the rest of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Starscream's design is based on the [[Evergreen]] design also used for his [[Starscream (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks that, unlike almost every other version of Starscream in existence, make him look different from those of his Seeker comrades. For example, his wings are wide with a zigzagging edge compared to the other Seekers' narrow wings with a sharp tip at the end. Starscream also has forearm-mounted [[null-ray]]s while the other Seekers have theirs mounted on their upper arms. This is not reflected on their toys, however, as all current toys of the Seekers are simple [[redeco]]s of Starscream's.
*This version of Starscream is the second to exhibit an ability that ties into his name: the ability to produce powerful screams, strong enough to stun an Autobot, the first being Transformers: Animated's Starscream.

Many toys have been made of [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] '''[[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]''', enough to warrant this page!

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[File:G1Starscream toy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|[[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Then]] [[Sunstorm (G1)|about]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|eight]] [[:File:G1BlackStarscream toy.jpg|million]] [[Seeker (body-type)|redecos]] [[E-HOBBY|followed]].]]
*'''Starscream''' (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985/1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''22'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null-rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear

: Starscream's first toy began life as "Jet Robo" from the ''[[Diaclone]]'' line, transforming into a grey, red and blue F-15 Eagle fighter jet. To transform Starscream, one must essentially take most of his plane parts off and transform his body, then reattach most of plane parts on again, along with the addition of two blue fists. If you don't mind being fiddly, though, transformation can certainly be achieved by only removing the fists, weapons and landing gear (which can store in Starscream's cockpit). Owing to the modular nature of his design and the fact that it is impossible to store all the parts in either mode, it can be quite difficult to find an intact original set of this toy.

:Starscream is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in robot mode, and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short "[[cluster bomb]]" projectiles are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Starscream's [[null-ray]]s. The original ''Diaclone'' version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.

:The ''Diaclone'' version of the Starscream mold featured tailfins with solid tips and solid fists, and both these features carried over to the earliest ''Transformers'' releases. Soon, however, the ''Transformers'' mold was modified to add hollow tips to the fins, and tabs to the insides of the fists to allow them to hold onto his arms tighter, resulting in a visible slit on either side of each one. These altered versions became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. Like all his 1984 brethren, a [[rubsign]] was added to Starscream in 1985.

: Starscream's mold was [[redeco]]ed into the concurrently-available [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]]. It would later be redecoed again to make [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]], and [[retool]]ed into [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]]. On top of this, given his role as a major Generation 1 character, Starscream himself would be reissued many times down the years; this article strives to list each reissue of the figure under its own header. The long lifespan of his toy actually began in 1986, when Starscream remained part of the assortment for that year despite the departure of nearly every other 1984 toy from store shelves.

**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear

:The second release of Starscream's toy came with this Japanese-exclusive two-pack, which saw him packaged alongside [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], in commemoration of the Decepticon leader's passing ([[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|of sorts]]) in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

*'''Starscream''' (Classic Pretender, 1989)
**''Accessories'': 2-part Pretender shell, helmet, left & right wings, left & right "lasers"/tail wings, rifle
:The first new Starscream toy since the original brought the treacherous Air Commander back as a [[Classic Pretender]]. He still transforms into a grey, red and blue F-15 fighter jet, though his vehicle mode now borders on the [[super deformed]]. He is armed with a pair of blue lasers, which become his tail fins in jet mode.

:Starscream's two-piece [[Pretender]] shell resembles a human in a teal, grey and brown space armored suit with a removable helmet. The shell is armed with a large blue rifle. When Starscream is inside the shell, his removable grey wings store in holes on the shell's back, while the blue lasers get plugged into the sides of the large rifle.

**''Accessories'': Left & right wings, left & right "lasers"/tail wings

:Released exclusively in Japan ''instead'' of the individual Classic Pretender figures, rather than in addition to them, this giftset contained the "Legends" versions of Pretender Starscream and his fellow Classic Pretenders, [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Hero Set|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Jazz]], and [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Grimlock]]. This version of Starscream featured a silver face, as opposed to the Hasbro version's black.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] also forewent releasing the individual Classic Pretenders, and instead released their own version of the Hero Set named "Set Commandos". Starscream was given the name "Tornado", which was originally the Italian name of [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

: [[Action Master]] Starscream is a non-transforming action figure based loosely on his cartoon [[character model]], but using a color scheme derived from the Pretender toy. His main accessory is the [[Turbo Jet]], a small personal attack craft that Starscream can set astride like a motorcycle. The Turbo Jet rolls on three small wheels, and can transform into a gun emplacement.

:Starscream's ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' release is a slight [[retool]] of his original toy, armed with new, functional spring-loaded launchers and missiles, and an electronic light-and-sound "energy unit" in the shape of a tank. The electronic box lights up with the press of either button, and emits electronic "machine gun" or "jet engine" noises. In robot mode, the box attaches to Starscream's back; in jet mode, it plugs into his tail-end.

:The new accessories were also used, in different colors, for ''Generation 2'' Ramjet.

*'''Megatron''' (limited test market release)
**''Accessories'': 12 missiles, 2 missiles launchers

: A planned-but-more-or-less-canceled redeco of ''Generation 2'' [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]], "Advanced Tactical Bomber" [[Megatron (G1)/toys#ATB|Megatron]] would have come with Starscream, a redeco of Dreadwing's partner [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. The pair could combine into the "flying wing" Advanced Tactical Bomber, while Starscream coud detach to become a smaller solo jet, leaving Megatron to transform into a treaded tank mode. According the Toy Fair 1995 Transformers presentation, the toy's missiles were intended to glow in the dark.

: This toy's deco (but not the glow-in-the-dark missiles) was used to make ''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]'''s [[BB]] and [[Starscream (BWII)|Starscream]] out of the same mold-set. This mold was also used to make ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Dreadwind (RID)|Dreadwind]] and [[Smokejumper]], while Starscream's mold was sold separately during the ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' line as [[Smokesniper]].

: This figure was only released to test markets in Ohio in very limited quantities. It was never available as a wide release.

===Machine Wars===
[[File:MWStarscream Toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I have no mouth and I must Starscream.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' 10 missiles
: Starscream's ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' incarnation is a redeco of the [[Predator (subgroup)|Predator]] [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]], transforming into a large bomber jet based vaguely upon an SR-71 Blackbird. The main feature of the toy is its "carpet bombing" gimmick; each wing contains a drum that holds up to four missiles, which drop out as the drum is rotated. A further two missiles can also store on each wing, and one on each side of his fuselage, but while Skyquake came with enough missiles to fill all these ports, Starscream only comes with ten. The short length of the missiles necessary for this gimmick to function means that Starscream does not come with Skyquake's firing missile launcher, since the missiles are shorter than [[for safety reasons|safety reasons]] allow, although it is incorrectly shown on his packaging. Starscream also lacks Skyquake's [[Megavisor]] gimmick. The figure also features a barely noticeable yet enormous Decepticon symbol on the [http://www.seibertron.com/transformers-toys/view/machine-wars/starscream/608/2/25/ top of the plane] rendered in black paint on black plastic.

:Starscream is known to have come with either pale grey missiles, better fitting his new color scheme, or bright green missiles like Skyquake's.

: This mold was later redecoed to make [[King Atlas]]. The toy was repurposed as the [[Starscream drone]]s.

===Transtech===

*'''Starscream'''

: Starscream would have been made available in the aborted ''[[Transcendent Technomorph|Transtech]]'' series in 2001. Control art and early [[Prototype]] images have surfaced, showing that the toy would have been at the Deluxe scale and featured internal lighting mechanisms that changed color depending on its mode. The toy is clearly a homage to his ''Machine Wars'' body, which at the time of ''Transtech's'' intended release would have been the last form Starscream had inhabited in American markets.

: In 2008, this design would be [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]] universe's [[Starscream (TransTech)|Starscream]].

: This design was revived by [[Draxhall Jump]] when they were contracted to create the ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Megamorphs'' line for Toy Biz; Starscream ultimately became the [[Iron Man]] toy.

: Available concurrently with the 2001 reissue of the original Generation 1 Starscream figure, "Starscream Ghost Version" is an [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]] ''[[Collector's Edition]]'' redeco of the 2001 Starscream reissue, cast almost entirely in translucent plastics (except for those parts made of die-cast metal) in homage to Starscream's tenure as a ghost in the third season of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]]. To make the toy further match Starscream's cartoon appearance, it features a notably lighter shade of blue, and a translucent orange cockpit as opposed to the traditional smoky grey. The toy came in unique monochrome-blue window box packaging featuring [[CGI]] artwork of Starscream.

The toy's [[bio]] makes a rare fictional reference to ''Machine Wars'', describing [[Machine Wars (event)|the events]] of the series in the past tense.

: The third exclusive redeco of the original Generation 1 Starscream toy released alongside the 2001 reissues, "Starscream Secret Version" was available through the [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] contest held in conjunction with the first edition of ''[[Transformers Generations]]'' (with a ''[[Super Collection Figure]]'' Skywarp figurine as second prize). The figure was limited to only ''five'' pieces, making it one of the rarest officially-released ''Transformers'' toys in the world, and to cap it off, the toy was not actually ''shown'' during the contest, hence its "Secret" moniker. Given its amazingly limited availability, it was not even 100% known ''what the toy looked like'' until a picture of it appeared in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009]]'', showing it as being primarily clear and colorless. Prior to this appearance, it was suggested that both this toy and the ''SCF'' Skywarp were ''not'' officially released, due to the bankruptcy of ''Generations'' publisher [[Keibunsha]]. Whether or not this scenario is accurate is still unknown at this time, as no one has publicly translated the text regarding the figure from ''Generations 2009''.

:The first reissue of the original Starscream toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive. It featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. This didn't work out ''so'' badly with the null-rays, but the cluster bombs just wound up looking ''stupid''.

===The Transformers Collection===
*'''Starscream''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''9'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null-rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear, two-piece gun mode Megatron, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] fist

:As another in an increasingly large number of reissues of the original Generation 1 Starscream toy, this entry in the Japanese-exclusive ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues decided to mix things up by giving the figure a full-scale redeco into [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] colors. His blue plastic became much lighter, while his cockpit was made bright orange, and even featured new grey paint applications running across it. Several of his stickers were replaced with new, show-accurate paint applications, including new wing-stripes and [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon symbols on his wings and nosecone (of course, Starscream didn't have one on his nosecone in the cartoon, so it isn't perfect!).

:Starscream's fists were remolded with new circular peg-holes so he could wield his missile launchers in his hands, which also worked in conjunction with a new tab on the fists' undersides to allow him to hold his new accessory: Megatron in gun mode. This miniature Megatron splits into two pieces at the handle, with each half plugging into the new hole and tab added to each of Starscream's fists. Megatron can also plug into Starscream's underside in jet mode, replicating the time the characters linked up in this fashion in the cartoon episode, "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]". The set also came with a remolded fist for the original Optimus Prime toy, allowing him to hold the Megatron accessory, and a DVD featuring a trailer for the upcoming Playstation 2 video game ''[[The Transformers (PS2)|The Transformers]]'' and Japanese toy [[commercial]]s for Optimus Prime, [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]].

: Standing at only two inches tall, ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Starscream is a ''very'' small-scale simplification of the original Starscream toy. It retains a surprising amount of the larger toy's functionality and accessories, except its tail fins and wings are combined into single pieces, and his null rays and landing gear are left out.

:This mold was, of course, redecoed into ''Smallest Transforming'' versions of Skywarp and Thundercracker, and retooled into Thrust.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RM-12'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 null rays, 2 missile pods
[[File:RobotMastersStarscream toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I have thighs?]]

: Starscream's ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' toy is a re-imagining of the original Generation 1 figure, retaining its basic [[transformation scheme]], but designed to be closer to the animation model, with greater articulation and integrated parts that do not require detachment during transformation. The only pieces that now need to be removed are Starscream's null ray rifles, which move from his wings to his arms. He has three peg-holes on each arm, allowing the null rays to be mounted on his shoulders, on his forearms, or in his fists. These holes are also designed to accommodate the generic spring-loaded missile launcher weapon included with ''Robotmasters'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|G1 Convoy]], [[Optimus Primal/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Convoy]] and [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Megatron]].

:Starscream came with two "missile pods" based on weapons Starscream used but once, in the Generation 1 cartoon episode "[[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain]]". These chromed accessories plug into the square holes in Starscream's chest, and feature opening covers that reveal (non-firing) missiles within.

: This mold was redecoed into ''Robotmasters'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|Thundercracker]].

{{MPSeekerMold}}

[[File:MasterpieceStarscream toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|And the fandom complained (and rejoiced).]]
*'''Starscream''' (2006)
**''ID number:'' '''MP-3'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 null rays, 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip, two-piece display stand

:The second new mold in [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line, this highly-detailed version of Starscream is the "odd man out" of the series, eschewing the slavish cartoon-accuracy of the other ''Masterpiece'' figures in favor of creating as accurate an F-15 Eagle alternate mode as possible, with a somewhat more stylized robot mode. The toy features several unobtrusive built-in gimmicks, including ''numerous'' opening panels on his jet mode surface (highlighting the attention this mode received), flip-up panels in his chest that reveal missile racks based on the weapons seen in the Generation 1 episode "Fire on the Mountain", and a rotating face that allows Starscream to switch his expression from stony-faced to sneering. Owners of the toy are given quite a few customization options, as Starscream comes with an extensive sheet of sticker decals, including variously sized Decepticon symbols, and squadron numbers and markings, including one of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]]!

:In addition to his built-in features, Starscream comes with several accessories. He is armed with both his traditional null-ray rifles, but his familiar cluster bombs are replaced with a rack of (slightly inaccurate) Sidewinder missiles. He also comes with a clip that mounts under his nosecone, allowing him to hold the Megatron pistol accessory that came with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary.2FMasterpiece|''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime]] in emulation of the way the characters linked up in "S.O.S. Dinobots", and a small figurine of [[Doctor Arkeville]], his partner in crime from several first-season episodes of the Generation 1 cartoon, which can fit in his cockpit. Finally, he includes a two-piece, reconfigurable display base that allows the figure to be posed in mid-flight in either jet or robot mode, and can store Starscream's accessories while they are not in use. [[Control drawing|Control art]] for ''Masterpiece'' Starscream which showed the figure wearing his [[Transformer clothing|Crown of Leadership]] (as seen in the coronation scene of the original animated movie) and a pair of otherwise-pointless flip-out notches in the finished toy's shoulders indicated that Takara planned for a set of clip-on coronation gear. Ultimately, it would take ''six years'' before these accessories were finally released.

: ''Masterpiece'' Starscream's creation was overseen by famed Japanese mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]], who was particularly intent on hiding the robot-mode details on the underside of the fighter mode. The first prototype for the figure was essentially an upgraded, more complex version of the original toy, with much more accurate robot and jet modes, but Kawamori's desire to avoid simply making a new version of an old toy saw the figure go through a major redesign into its finished form. Perhaps the most notable change was the repositioning of Starscream's tail-fin structures from his legs to his hips, with the intent of creating the feel of a samurai wearing a pair of swords at his waist (presumably, if somewhat oddly, based on the then-recent ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' cartoons' portrayal of their [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] as a noble swordsman). Even so, Kawamori was still unhappy with the amount of robotic parts visible underneath the plane, but conceded that too many changes would essentially not make the toy look like Starscream in robot mode. In this pursuit of realism, the most visible concession to the design was the abandonment of his traditional color scheme, replaced with an all-over greenish-tinged grey. Given that this color is inaccurate to most real F-15 fighters (whose Gunship Gray coloration is ''much'' closer to Starscream's traditional shade), the question of why it was changed at all is not an unreasonable one. However, there are instances of [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6VLv-xwhhag/TZ7hPg5UX-I/AAAAAAAAAXo/UW1469Fm19M/s1600/F-15_three_shipper.jpg F-15 Strike Eagles] that actually utilize this (seldom seen) color scheme.

:This mold was later retooled into the ''Masterpiece'' versions of [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thundercracker]], and was recolored by Hasbro into a [[#MasterpieceUS|more cartoon-accurate Starscream color scheme]] released under their ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' line as well as redecoed into Hasbro's version of Masterpiece [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|Skywarp]] under the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]] line. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh ''Masterpiece'' figure, [[#MP11|Starscream]].

:Though not stated on the package, Starscream is in fact a 1/60 scale F-15. The same scale used by many popular Japanese mecha toys including Kawamori's own Macross Valkyries. Coincidence?

**''ID number:'' '''MP-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Crown, pauldrons (left and right), cape, 2 null rays, hologram pilot figurine

:Following up on the original plan for the ''Masterpiece'' Starscream figure six years after the fact, MP-11 decks Screamer out in his coronation gear from ''The Transformers: The Movie'', including crown, twin shoulder pads, and a sculpted plastic cape (rather than a fabric one). In addition to his new accessories—which also include a new hologram pilot figure in place of Doctor Arkeville—Starscream features some extensive retooling to wind his ''Masterpiece'' design away from Kawamori's original, less Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered null rays attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation. Despite the similarity to the original MP-3 prototype, the retooled parts are in fact a whole new design heavily based on the original concept. This new version of the mold was redecoed into [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] and (without the coronation gear) into Hasbro's [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Transformers .282010.29|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp_(G1)/toys#Masterpiece11SW|Skywarp]] and [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]]. It was later retooled into the [[Seeker_(body-type)#Coneheads|Coneheads]] [[Ramjet_(G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Ramjet]], [[Thrust_(G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thrust]] and [[Dirge_(G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Dirge]], although the mold by that point had noticeably [[Mold#Deterioration|deteriorated]], resulting in numerous quality control issues.

:2013 saw a China only re-release of MP-11 Starscream. While announced as the same as the original, it featured some changes. Chief among them are the head is no longer molded in light gray plastic painted over gloss black and dark metallic gray (for the face) but it's molded in a more cartoon accurate dark gray (for the helmet) and a lighter metallic gray for the face. This release also features the nosecone molded in light gray plastic rather than molded in blue and then painted over light gray. The black tabs on the top of the jet are now the same grey as the rest of the jet. It also included a collector's coin like the original Asian (excluding Japan) release.

:This version was released by Hasbro [[#Masterpiece 2|under ''Generations'' co-branding]].

*'''Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' 2 null-ray cannons (left and right), 2 missiles

: Like the other entries in the ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' series, Starscream is a faithful "modernizing" of his original Generation 1 form, updating his original toy with modern standards of toy engineering, transformation, sculpting detail and articulation (not dissimilar in principle from his ''[[#Robotmasters|Robotmasters]]'' incarnation, but with less of an adherence to his cartoon [[character model]]). Sharing many design elements with his ''[[#Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' toy, Starscream still transforms into an F-15 Eagle, but has the nose of an {{w|F-14 Tomcat}} fighter jet. His color scheme is, of course, based on the traditional Starscream palette, but seems to owe its new layout to {{w|File:F-15A first prototype 2.jpg|the original F-15 prototype}}.

:As usual, Starscream is armed with his familiar null-rays, which can mount under his wings, on his shoulders, or in his fists, and fire spring-loaded projectiles. The large size of his null-rays (necessary [[for safety reasons]]) restrict his arm movement somewhat in robot mode, as they bump into his wings. Like all ''Classics'' figures, he has a heat-activated rubsign on his left wing. Certain parts of Starscream, like his back panel and tailfin assemblies, are made of unusually rigid gray plastic that is slightly prone to cracking or breaking, and should be handled with care.

: [[Variant#Running changes|Later versions]] of Starscream saw a [[retool]] in the jet intake area, which involved the slope of his shoulders being decreased, and a fifth small rectangle being added to the vertical area. This version of Starscream is the harder to find of the two, but was used as the basis for all subsequent redecos and retools.

*'''Masterpiece Starscream''' (2007, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 null rays, 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip, display stand

: A [[Walmart]] exclusive, Hasbro's Masterpiece Starscream is an ''extensive'' redeco of the previous year's ''Masterpiece'' figure from Takara, recolored to resemble the character's animation model, down to the orange canopy and the silver nosecone, although the cartoon-accurate silver paint on the nosecone actually covers ''toy''-accurate blue plastic.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/206593-clean-mp-ss-cleanscream-blue-nosecone.html Clean MP SS - Cleanscream(blue nosecone) - tfw2005.com]</ref> In an effort to bring out detail in the sculpt, he has also been given an extensive paint wash to bring out his panel lines. His colors were not the only thing changed, however; the tips of his vertical stabilizers were shortened and rounded, and the plastics used overall have greater resilience to impact and damage than the fragile Japanese release.

:Starscream includes the same accessories as the Takara version of the toy, including a two-piece display stand, null rays, sidewinder missiles, a small figurine of Doctor Arkeville (which now has the correct skin color), and a clip to hold 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime's Megatron gun while in jet mode. Starscream was finally given the correct tech spec stats he was originally supposed to have back in 1984 for this release, which had been mistakenly given to Skywarp instead.

:Takara got in on the act the following year when they released Hasbro's version of Masterpiece Starscream as a "[[USA Edition]]", adding a Japanese sticker to the Hasbro ''Classics'' packaging. This version of the toy was not without a few changes: the original mold for the tail fins was used, an extra Decepticon symbol was added to Starscream's nosecone (which was present on his original toy, but not his animation model), and his black "scorch mark" [[paint operation]]s were dialed back, and those that remained were switched to a lighter gray.

**''Accessories:'' Display stand

:Perversely enough, ''[[Titanium Series|Titanium]]'' Starscream is actually a redeco of ''Titanium'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Thundercracker]], instead of the other way around. Based on the Seekers' [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] forms as seen in the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] comic series ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', this version of Starscream transforms into Cybertronian "tetra-jet", as designed by [[Don Figueroa]]. As a ''Titanium'' figure, Starscream is made in large part from die-cast metal, and comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique removable nameplate.

: This mold was redecoed into ''Titanium'' versions of [[Sunstorm (G1)#Titanium Series|Sunstorm]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Skywarp]], and [[Thrust (G1)#Titanium Series|Thrust]].

:This red and black redeco of the ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Megatron]] figure (itself a retool of the ''Sports Label'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Optimus Prime]]) appeared on eBay in mid-2007, identified by the auctioneer as Starscream. More pictures followed from a different source a month later, but after that, this strange little redeco quietly vanished, never released, and never even officially ''acknowledged'' by [[TakaraTomy]]. Was it a [[knockoff|knock-off]], or an abandoned official product? We may never know.

:As a redeco of the one communal mold used for all the ''Sports Label'' toys, Starscream, if that's who he really was, would have transformed into an undersized Nike sneaker with real fabric shoelaces, and would have been armed with a modular two-piece gun that split and stored inside each half of the large sneaker "shell" that made up a big chunk of his alternate mode.

:A new series of reissues means a new release of the original Generation 1 Starscream figure, and Takara's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series proved no different. This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, with its only notable change from past versions being a pale yellow window instead of dark gray, and the inclusion of [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon insignias on its wings and nosecone, rather than stickers (similar to the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' reissue before it but not flipped like the animation and metallic purple and silver instead of glossy purple and white). The sculpted copyright date is still the [[Starscream_(G1)/toys#Commemorative_Series|Commemorative Series]] release.

: Available only as a mail-away exclusive offered through ''[[Transformers Generations 2009]]'' Vol 2 that was released in November 2009, this redeco of Starscream is the second in the character's history to pay homage to his time as a ghost in the third season of the Generation 1 cartoon by casting him almost entirely in traslucent colored plastic. Parts of the figure made in softer plastic, like his thighs, remain opaque.

: Starscream Ghost Version uses the altered version of the ''Classics'' Starscream mold that originated with Classics [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]] and was last seen with [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]] (down to the 2006 copyright date stamped on it), rather than the modified version first used on ''Universe'' Starscream and the iterations that followed ([[#Universe (2008)|see below]]).

Henkei!'' release.

:Several minor changes were made to the sculpt for this release: his launcher pegs were widened, and the peg-holes for them on his shoulders and wings were modified in order to accommodate them. His air intakes were further modified (on top of the changes made to the mold for [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|''Classics'' Skywarp]]) so that the bottom-most rectangle goes completely across the air intake's surface rather than just the center.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''A-04'''

:The <s>first</s> [[Action Master|second]] Starscream toy not to turn into a jet, ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Starscream transforms into a licensed 1:32 scale {{w|Mitsuoka Orochi}}. Like the other toys in the line, he features [[die-cast]] metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. This is also currently the only ''Alternity'' mold to feature [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|a fake kibble chest]].

:In car mode, small wings are ''supposed to'' be able to flip out from under Starscream's rear wheels, giving him the appearance of a flying car. Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath ''deforming the rims and chipping the tires''. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s ''very easily''.

:This mold, with a different head sculpt, was also used to make the simultaneously released ''Alternity'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Alternity|Skywarp]], and later [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Alternity|Thundercracker]] and [[Banzai-Tron (G1)#Alternity|Banzai-Tron]] as well.

*'''Starscream''' (Legends Class, 2011)

:[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Starscream is a new sculpt based on his Generation 1 jet appearance with many fuselage details borrowed from the [[#Masterpiece|Masterpiece version]]. This is the first Starscream in many years to attempt an entirely new transformation for him, with the arms now forming the rear of the jet and the legs folding under the wings. Amusingly, he has ''two'' cockpits, with the one that is actually part of his jet mode folding ''right behind'' the [[kibble#faux-parts|fake]] one on his chest in robot mode. As part of the "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[subline imprint]], Starscream sports a [[rubsign]].

: Early specimens of the toy released in Asia and at United States retail feature an unpainted gray-plastic helmet, a comparatively rare [[variant]]. This variant is the one featured in the Hasbro [[stock photography]], although the stock photo depicting the figure in [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] has the more common black helmet, as this was the only version ever available at European retail.

: The "Reveal the Shield" Legends figures saw exceedingly limited release at large-scale retail chains in the US. Throughout 2011, they eventually started appearing in discount stores like Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Tuesday Morning, with perhaps the largest and most consistent outlet being Five Below stores.

:This sculpt was also redecoed and retooled to make ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Chronicle|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Chronicle|Skywarp]], as well as ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Generations|Thundercracker]] and [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2014)]] [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Skywarp]].

: Part of the third wave of [[2012]]-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (WFC)#Generations|Starscream]] transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. He comes with two spinning, triple-barreled "assault cannons" which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the [[Neutron assault rifle]] from ''Fall of Cybertron''. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Starscream features numerous 5mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides.

: In an undocumented feature, Starscream's tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the two pegs found on the underside of the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle's top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.

: He was later redecoed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Skywarp (WFC)#Generations|Skywarp]] and ''Thrilling 30'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Thrilling30|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Generations|Skywarp]].

:As one of seven toys in the [[Transformers: Generations#Cyber Battalion Seres|Cyber Battalion]] series, Cyber Series Starscream is a Voyager-sized figure intended to be sold at a cheaper price point. Starscream features a transformation similar to his ''Generations'' Legends Class counterpart. Undocumented in the instructions and as shown in the packaging art, Starscream's rifles can be attached underneath his wings and his robot mode arms.

:Unfortunately, the figure did not get distribution in the United States, but has been reported showing up in Asian markets and was also solicited to South America. Toy importers did stock this series in a limited capacity and they sold out quickly in 2015 and effectively disappeared at that time. In 2016, the Cyber Battalion Starscream figure (along with ''Cyber Battalion'' Optimus Prime and Bumblebee) saw release in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and finally ended up being turned into a Walgreens exclusive.

[[File:Hasbro_MP_Starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|And the award for the worst posed and badly transformed ''Masterpiece'' photo goes to...]]
*'''Starscream''' (2015)
**''ID number:'' '''MP-07'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 null rays, 2 missile racks, hologram pilot figurine, two-piece display stand, gun clip

:The Hasbro version of [[#MP11|MP-11]] differs from the Takara release in a toy-accurate blue nose cone, borders around the Decepticon logo, a slightly different grey plastic, the tabs of the top of the jet are in grey (like the second release of MP-11) and is missing the coronation gear. However, he does come with the stand from previous Masterpiece Seekers and two racks of missiles that can peg onto the bottom of his wings in place of the null rays. Neither the box nor the instructions mention this, but he comes with the gray clip that can hold the Megatron gun that came with other ''Masterpiece'' figures, such as MP-1 Optimus Prime or MP-13 Soundwave. Official images, including the box art, shows the top of the wings mis-transformed in robot mode.

:Despite still using the numbering system of Hasbro's ''Masterpiece'' line begun in 2013, Starscream was [[co-branding|co-branded]] as part of the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' line. He was available exclusively at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Australia, and Canada.

:''[[Alt-Modes]]'' Starscream is a super deformed toy whose body transforms into a jet when the Decepticon faction symbol on his head is flipped. He was [[Blindpacking|blind-boxed]] and available in all four cases of the toyline.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Alt-Modes'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Alt-Modes|Skywarp]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Alt-Modes|Thundercracker]], [[Acid Storm (G1)#Alt-Modes|Acid Storm]] and [[Sunstorm (G1)#Alt-Modes|Sunstorm]], and would have been retooled into [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Alt-Modes|Dirge]].

[[File:PowerOfThePrimestoy-Starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|left|Arise, THICC-Scream.]]
:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Starscream is an all new mold that transforms from robot that utilizes the [[Evergreen]]-styled design into a fighter jet. He also features some markings on his jet mode: an Autobot kill count on the right side of the cockpit, and a Decepticon symbol with the number "D-22" (a reference to Starscream's Japanese ID number). Starscream can also form the torso of [[Starscream Combiner|an unnamed combiner]] using any selection of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style Deluxe Class figures as limbs. His instructions and [[TakaraTomy]] stock photos depict him with the ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures from Wave 1. He also includes Prime Armor that can hold a [[Prime Master]] (and by extension, a [[Titan Master]], Enigma, or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and can turn into feet for said unnamed combiner. The silhouette of Starscream's torso mode appears to homage the robot mode of another [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Starscream includes an Enigma of Combination (dubbed the ''Seeker Enigma''), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to Starscream via the previously mentioned Prime Armor or the combined mode chest, which can also facilitate the other previously mentioned objects.

:There are several reports of the peg that connects the wings often refusing to connect well. In 2018, a running change was made in the re-release of the toy: the peg that connects between the wings and the robot back has been retooled to connect firmly. The only way to identify this running change is the code "73101" stamped onto the box.

:Starscream was later retooled into [[Elita One (G1)#Generations|Elita-1]].

He includes two null-rays, which can mount on his upper arms.

The launcher can attach to him like a trailer, or open up into a base mode. Like all the Base-launchers, the weapon on top of it is an homage to a different version of the character it came with. In Starscream's case, it has a gun resembling G1 Starscream's Null-Ray laser gun.

As a Flip Shot, an impact to the front of his vehicle mode would cause him to flip up when autotransforming. He would be packaged with a launcher and a target. Like many of the Bot Shots from the second year, however, he was cancelled before release.

: This version of Starscream is heavily based on his cartoon appearance. He features a light gray (lighter than the Henkei!

[[File:TF-2014-Legion-Class-Starscream.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb]]
*'''Starscream''' (Legion Class, 2014/2015/2017)
:Another release of the ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class sculpt. The deco for its initial release is unchanged from the ''Transformers'' release from 2012, whereas the tooling is identical to the 2012 release's running change variant, with the retooled hands and holes inside his wings compatible with [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] [[C joint|3mm]] pegs. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Starscream/Waspinator two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Reveal the Shield'' Starscream's packaging and only slightly altered, advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the toy with the Null Rays that came with the running change variant of the sculpt's 2012 release, even though the actual toy doesn't include the weapons.

:Legion Class Starscream has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the purple Decepticon insignia with black versions. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.

:This figure was made available again, without any changes, in 2015, this time in new packaging resembling the then-concurrent packaging design for the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' line, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia.

: Starscream is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Doubledealer#Generations|Doubledealer]], itself a redeco/[[retool]] of [[Blitzwing (G1)#Generations|Blitzwing]] from the same line. Starscream transforms into two vaguely futuristic vehicles: a jet with an opening cockpit and back-mounted rocket boosters, as well as a tank with a rotating turret and a spring-loaded "Vertex Cannon" that launches its missile when the barrel is compressed. The cannon can also be swung out and deployed for use in jet mode. He lacks Doubledealer's blaster and sword accessories, but instead comes with two of [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Starscream]]'s [[null-ray]] cannons that can plug into the [[5mm post]]s on his shoulders/vehicle sides, cannon base, and wings. Unfortunately, his shoulders suffer from the same [[design flaw]] Blitzwing and Doubledealer suffered from. Starscream was sold exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]].

:"Ghost Starscream" is a [[retool]] of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]] with a new head, cast almost completely in translucent plastic, presumably as a [[homage]] to either his ghost appearance in the third season of the cartoon, or the [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive that was also based on the former. As a deluxe class ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' figure, he can combine to form the leg or arm of any combiner from Hasbro's ''Combiner Wars'' subline or any ''Unite Warriors'' figure or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs, but would usually be associated with [[Grand Galvatron#Unite Warriors 2|Grand Galvatron]].

The stock photography shows that, in order to differentiate him in control of the body from Octone, the shoulder and head pylons should both be moved up instead of leaving them down.

He comes with two null-rays that can attach to his arms or under his wings. His transformation is nigh-identical to his ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' toy, with a few minor changes; his null rays can now peg to his wings, his face is hidden in jet mode, and the nosecone no longer flips back when forming his chest.

==Notes==
[[File:G2BlackDeathStarscreamMockup.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
[[File:G2BlackDeathStarscreamProductionColor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
[[File:G2SSJungleprotojet.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb]]
*A hand-painted mock-up and accompanying artwork for what seems to have been a proposed ''Generation 2''-era redeco of Starscream appeared in auctions on [[eBay]], amongst similar items put up for sale from the collection of a former [[Hasbro]] employee. The mock-up features the words "Black Death" on its nosecone, which would probably lead fans to refer to the figure as "Black Death Starscream" if anyone were aware of it existing.
**Somewhat confusingly, there appear to be two different pieces of artwork related to this redeco concept: one is simply a palette-swapped version of Starscream's [[:File:G2StarscreamPackageArt.jpg|''Generation 2'' artwork]] (down to having exactly the same color stickers), while the other features numerous alterations, among them new foot, knee, and shoulder intake detailing, differently positioned wings, and the missile launchers included with the ''Generation 2'' releases of Starscream and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]]. Though unconfirmed, it is thought that the second piece of artwork was meant to go with the final release.
**Speaking of the final release: in 2012, it was revealed that "Black Death Starscream" was ''much'' further along in production than the fandom had previously suspected when a sticker-less test shot was discovered on the Chinese auction site TaoBao (from a seller also possessing loose ''Generation 2'' [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and a production-colors [[Sandstorm (G2)|Sandstorm]]). The test-shot differs from the package art and mock-up by possessing black missiles instead of blue ones and having no Decepticon symbols on the rear stabilizers (although it's possible those were meant to be stickers).
**The actuality of the figure being intended as Starscream is uncertain. In fact, the "desert" redeco of Ramjet discovered at the same time has been revealed as having been intended as [[Sandstorm (G2)|a separate new character]] and not an alternate version of Ramjet as had been assumed. It very well may be that this toy was likewise intended as a new character with the working name "Black Death," and not Starscream at all, but without confirmation of this it may as well remain listed here.
*A second unproduced redeco of Starscream for the ''Generation 2'' line was found in 2007, also in an auction on eBay. It is known to the fandom as "Jungle Attack Starscream", although just as with "Black Death Starscream", it is unclear if it was intended to actually be another Starscream toy.

It's lucky that this [[Caminus|Camien]] has the skills to back up her stubborn determination and give the [[Decepticon]] [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seekers]] a fly for their money! <ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/cyberverse Character bios] at the official ''Cyberverse'' website</ref>

An immigrant to Cybertron from [[Caminus]], Windblade's [[Cityspeaker]] talents gave her the ability to telepathically contact and communicate with other Transformers through her mind. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Windblade was good friends with [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] before she left Caminus, {{storylink|Maccadam's}} and upon arriving on Cybertron she initially fell in with the egotistical [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] and his [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] friends. The group attended a [[Cube (sport)|cube]] match in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], where Windblade first met [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] after the yellow 'bot disguised himself to get into the stadium. After Bumblebee ran afoul of stadium security, Windblade contacted him telepathically and helped him sneak back into the stadium. After helping Bumblebee foil Starscream's plan to ruin the game with a tampered cube, Bumblebee invited her to meet some of his friends at his favorite bar, [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]]. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} After rubbing shoulders with both [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] and [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]], Windblade met the [[Maccadam|bartender]], who baffled both her and Bumblebee with some cryptic advice. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Some time later, following the rise of Megatron and his [[Decepticon]]s early and the start of the war, {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Windblade — now an Autobot — visited Maccadam's, where Chromia unsuccessfully tried to convince her to return to Caminus. Windblade was skeptical when Bumblebee introduced her to [[Deadlock (Cyberverse)|a potential Decepticon deserter]], though the conversation was cut short when Megatron broke into the bar. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

At some point after the loss of Bumblebee's voice, it became clear that Megatron sought to seize control of the [[AllSpark]]. Windblade was one of the Autobots who took part in the battle to eject the artifact from Cybertron, taking down both Starscream and [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] and opening the path for Bumblebee to activate the [[space bridge]] that would take the AllSpark offworld. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Optimus soon announced his intention to leave Cybertron and recover the artifact, and though Windblade tried to persuade Bumblebee to stay with her on Cybertron, he too joined the crew of the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]''. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}} On the day of Bumblebee's departure, the two friends visited the ruins of Maccadam's, and were surprised to find that the bar was still open. Maccadam poured them a drink and told the pair that, although they would be separated, they would always remain friends... and informed them that, one day in the future, they would need to find "the king of the dinosaurs." {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Feeling reassured about her friendship with Bumblebee, she then joined him when [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] called the yellow 'bot to the ''Ark'''s launch site. There, Windblade finally bade her friend farewell. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}} However, she remained in touch long enough to learn that [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] had been able to repair Bumblebee's damaged [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]

In Prime's absence, Windblade and the other Autobot stragglers fought on, though it soon became clear that the heroes were outnumbered by the Decepticons. Eventually, it became clear that the ''Ark'' itself had been lost, and when Megatron realized that the ''Ark'' had tracked the AllSpark to the distant world of [[Earth]], the Autobots soon caught word of this revelation. [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] was eventually able to repair Cybertron's space bridge, and Windblade travelled to Earth to search for the Autobot starship — a one-way trip, as the space bridge exploded behind her.

Windblade spent a long time on Earth, fruitlessly searching for the AllSpark or the ''Ark,'' until she eventually chanced across [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] on Earth, rescuing him from almost falling off a cliff. She soon learned that Bumblebee had suffered damage, and was unable to remember her or his mission on Earth. The [[Decepticon]] [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] soon showed up to rain on their parade, and bested Windblade with ease. The [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] then tried to kill Bumblebee using Windblade's sword, but failed thanks to Bumblebee momentarily paralyzing him with his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]]. Windblade then blew the Decepticon off to parts unknown with her fans. She then attempted to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories with a [[cortical psychic patch]], but this procedure failed and left the two [[Autobot]]s unconscious after subjecting them to severe pain. {{storylink|Fractured}}

The cortical psyshic patch also released a powerful energy pulse, alerting the Decepticons Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]] to their location. Windblade, after coming to, immediately took to the skies to engage Nova Storm in a dogfight. She then instructed [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]]-deprived Bumblebee to retreat to a nearby mineshaft, after which she used her detachable turbines to bury both Decepticons under a large pile of rubble. She then set off to found the Decepticons' ship, which she thought could be used as additional computing power for the cortical patch procedure, but discovered that Bumblebee had rushed in without listening to her carefully detailed plan about how to infiltrate the ship. Entering the bridge, she set up the cortical patch again to enter Bumblebee's memories, using her [[Cityspeaker]] skills to guide him through the process. While Windblade hoped to recover the current location of the Ark, Bumblebee only managed to recover a small fragmented memory detailing the ship's launch... and memories of Windblade herself, finally recognizing her as his old friend. The happy moment was unexpectedly cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing... only for Bumblebee to immediately seize the communicator and blow their cover, to Windblade's chagrin. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

Released as part of the second wave of Cyberverse Warrior Class lineup, Windblade is a Deluxe-sized figure that converts from robot to jet and back. Her "Cyclone Strike" Action Attack gimmick is activated by sliding the nosecone assembly on her back up and down, which, if done quickly enough, causes the front half of her wings to swing upwards. This triggers a mechanism that spins the front halves of the turbines on the wings. Care must be taken to position her arms properly, however, or they might impede movement of the turbines.

*As with the rest of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Windblade's design draws on the [[Evergreen]] design also used for her [[Windblade (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], albeit with a ''lot'' of changes, to the point where it's not immediately obvious that it's based on the Evergreen design more than one of the other, similar Windblade designs.

'''An attempt to reconnect with Impactor lands Springer and Verity in the crosshairs of the unholy team-up of Overlord and Tarantulas.'''

==Synopsis==
In the two years that have passed since [[The Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers|Wreckers' final mission]], [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and [[Verity Carlo]] have been keeping a low profile, living together in a barn off the grid. Via a [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] communications array left to them by [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]], they listen in on radio chatter to keep up to date on goings-on out in the world, from the rise of firebrand anti-Cybertronian politician Megan Guiglione, to the shocking news of [[Kup (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Kup]]'s recent death. Already struggling to process what Verity has told him about his true origins as a creation of [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]]'s, Springer is hit hard by the passing of a 'bot who was like a father to him, and decides to seek out the only remaining link to his past, [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]]—last seen joining up with the Cybertronian terrorist organization [[Mayhem Attack Squad|Mayhem]]—for a heart-to-heart talk. Before they hit the road to meet Impactor, Verity, concerned by phantom traces of outgoing communications she has found on the array, runs a diagnostic on the machine. While she waits for a handset to synch with it so she can monitor the results remotely while they are away, Springer tells her the story of how he first met Impactor...

''Millions of years ago on Cybertron, Kup and Springer fight side-by-side against the [[Decepticon]]s. Spotting a supply drone sneaking its way around them, Springer makes a daring leap to take it out... and no sooner has he landed safely than Impactor is standing over him, informing him that he has been chosen to join the Wreckers. Springer excitedly shares the news with Kup, only to see his old mentor's eyes fill with sadness...''

Many hours and hundreds of miles later, Verity and Springer stop at a gas station, allowing Verity to tactfully avoid a conversation about something ''else'' they discovered using the array which she isn't ready to talk about yet. While getting a coffee, her eyes are drawn to a rack of greeting cards, but she only has a moment to glance at them before suddenly, out of nowhere, a bulldozer comes roaring up, smashes into Springer, and drives away with him!

Verity calls Impactor for help, and follows the bulldozer's trail to a nearby town. A day of searching yields no trace of Springer, but Verity's search comes to a sudden and unexpected end when Springer appears in the middle of a Megan Guiglione rally going on in the town square... and opens fire on the politician herself! Springer, obviously, is not himself; the bulldozer, it transpires, was [[Steamhammer (PCC)|Steamhammer]], a member of Mayhem, and Springer's body is now under the control of former Mayhem leader [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]], who is intent on using him to exterminate Guiglione. However, things get even ''stranger'' when Guiglione not only survives Springer's shot, but splits... grows... and ''transforms'', revealing herself to be [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] with a human alternate mode disguise! All around the square, Mayhem members hiding in vehicle mode reveal themselves and engage this unexpected new enemy, but Overlord slaughters them all in seconds. Before he can unleash his sadistic brand of violence on the helpless Springer, Verity steps in, donning her old gauntlets to catch Overlord's attention with a few well-placed blasts. Vividly recalling Verity from their last meeting, Overlord immediately forgets about Springer, snatches her up, and departs in jet mode with her as his captive. Seconds later, Impactor finally arrives on the scene, finding an unconscious Springer, and a shame-faced Carnivac. The furious Impactor vows to kill Carnivac for what he has done, but not before he takes them all back to Mayhem's base and has Springer repaired.

Overlord takes Verity to a dormant volcano, where it is revealed that he is working with Tarantulas. The evil spider explains that he survived the collapse of the [[Noisemaze]] by shrinking down in beast mode and secretly stowing away on Springer's body. Subsequently, he lived in secret with Verity and Springer for over a year, and was the one responsible for the phantom transmissions Verity found on the array. Using it, he contacted Overlord and gathered the resources and funding for his new objectives, which included the continuation of his organic alternate mode experiments, leading to the invention of the "Guiglione" identity for Overlord, created using Verity's own DNA. Overlord, however, is eager to move on to the ''next'' phase of Tarantulas's plan, but the spider testily explains that it is still not yet ready, and the ever-defiant Verity just rolls her eyes as the two giant robots have a tiff in front of her.

''Kup accompanies Springer to the Wreckers' base for his induction, his old body struggling to keep up with the death-defying shortcuts the eager youngster takes on the way. As parting advice, Kup encourages Springer not to lose his optimism. The doors to the base open, and Springer steps inside to be greeted by the team... and by the time he looks back over his shoulder, Kup is already gone.''

In Mayhem's base, an enraged, fully-healed Springer smashes his way out of a [[CR chamber]] and tackles Impactor to the ground, blaming him for everything. Impactor pleads innocence; he explains that he has been under deep-cover as a vehicle in the [[President of the United States|President]]'s motorcade for some time, and in his absence, Carnivac usurped command. Carnivac spits back that the plan to destabilize the peace process by using an [[Autobot]] to kill a human ''was still Impactor's''—he just picked which Autobot to use, and believes Impactor is only angry because he chose his precious Springer. The disgusted Springer rebukes them both, and departs to rescue Verity.

Tarantulas unveils the next phase of his plan to Verity: an upgraded version of the Noisemaze known as the "[[Timemaze]]," which will allow him to send Overlord back in time to key points in history, creating endless divergent timelines and alternate realities for him to experiment with. Overlord, however, chooses this moment to reveal that he's not so interested in the spider's schemes; instead, he intends to use the Timemaze to kill [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] throughout all of time and space. Realizing that such an action would wreak catastrophe upon the space-time continuum, and wounded that once again, a partner he trusted has turned on him, Tarantulas lunges at Overlord. As the pair grapple, Verity leaps up onto the Timemaze's control console and plugs her handset into it, trying to take control of it. Overlord reaches for her, but Tarantulas stops him; the spider, Overlord realizes, is actually ''protecting'' her in hopes of winning Springer's favor. Of course, based on personal experience, Overlord doesn't believe Springer will ever come...

...and is immediately proven wrong when his eye is impaled by Impactor's harpoon, as he and Springer come swooping down into the volcano! While Impactor tackles Overlord and Verity continues trying to damage the Timemaze, Tarantulas stands down, hoping to reunite with the "son" he created but never knew. Pained, he tries to tell Springer that he didn't abandon him, that he thought he had died, that he can make it right... but before he can do anything, Overlord shoots him in the back of the head. Springer tackles Overlord, and they and Impactor go tumbling deeper into the volcano's caldera. Overlord opens fire as they fall, hitting the ceiling and bringing a landslide of rocks down on top of them; Impactor is left pinned beneath the boulders, with Springer on one side, behind him, and Overlord somewhere on the other. Granted a moment of peace amid the chaos, Impactor and Springer are afforded the chance to talk, but don't know where to start. Impactor asks Springer what he would ask Kup, if ''he'' were there, and Springer replies that he would ask him how they first met, as he doesn't remember. Impactor tells the story...

''Having rescued the young Springer—then "Ostaros"—from Tarantulas's lab, Impactor brings him to Prowl. With neither willing to kill the strange, artificially-created Cybertronian, Prowl has him [[Rite of the Autobrand|Autobranded]] and given a new identity, his memory of his origins expunged, then assigns him to Kup's unit. The old Autobot is told the story behind him and sworn to secrecy, and the pair are introduced in Prowl's office that day.''

Impactor apologizes to Springer for ever bringing him into the Wreckers, but before they can talk through the matter any further, Overlord's shadow appears in the distance. Impactor gives Springer one final order, which he reluctantly carries out: as Overlord draws close, Springer shoots ''through'' Impactor's body, as Impactor once shot through his on the planet [[Pova]], killing him and knocking Overlord off his feet. Crashing through Impactor's flaming remains, Springer races back to the Timemaze gate, with Overlord in hot pursuit.

Verity, meanwhile, has hacked into the bank accounts Tarantulas created to fund the Guiglione campaign and transferred millions to her own. Springer comes crashing back into the chamber with Overlord on his heels, and it looks like the game is up... until Carnivac's howl echoes through the volcano, his sonic powers forcibly converting Overlord into his two composite vehicle modes, jet and tank. In a flash, Springer instructs Verity to activate the Timemaze, and he uses it to end Overlord's threat once and for all, by hurling his jet half into the distant future, and his tank half into the primordial past! The dying Tarantulas then calls Springer to his side, telling him he is happy to see that he has turned out "good," and mourning the fact that they could not be together. "Father" and "son" bid one another farewell, and Tarantulas dies.

With nothing left to tether him to the past, Springer chooses a new path: using the Timemaze, he will go back in time to before the war, and live out his life there, seeing if he can stop the war before it happens by effecting change on the smallest, most intimate level possible, in the way the big, crazy Wreckers never could—individually, person-to-person. Rather than drag out the goodbyes, Verity gives him a greeting card with a "thank you" message. The pair hug one last time, and Springer steps through the gate into history.

With Springer's departure, Verity beams out a final, pre-recorded message he left for all surviving Wreckers, their allies, and even a group of prospective rookie candidates who he had been training remotely. Via [[Shimmer|hologram]], Springer gives them all one last order: destroy the legacy of the Wreckers. Make it so that the awful things they had to do in secret in the past will never have to be done again. Be there for one another. "Wreck the past, rule your future."

And Verity herself has a future of her own that it's finally time for her to begin—a future that lies with the ''other'' thing she and Springer found through the array. She stands on the front step of a house, rings the doorbell... and when the house's unseen resident opens the door, Verity silently holds another greeting card out to them, which reads: "For My Mom." In silence, the card is taken... and Verity is welcomed inside.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*We rejoin our heroes following the events of ''[[The Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers|Sins of the Wreckers]]'', which concluded with Verity and Springer going off the grid for a while and Impactor joining Mayhem. The final panel of the [[Sins of the Wreckers issue 5|final issue]] implied Tarantulas had survived his seeming death in the story by featuring a tiny spider hiding in Springer's wheel well, which ''Requiem'' confirms to have been him. Springer's origins were revealed in that same issue, but not to him; Verity has told him the story off-panel between that issue and this one.
*Kup died in [[Schismatic|''Transformers vs. Visionaries'' #1]].
*Springer references the "[[Shimmer]]," the superstitious name for the hologram normally used by the Wreckers' leader to contact new recruits and inform them they have been inducted into the team, originally introduced in "[[Bullets]]." It is the method by which he contacts the past and future Wreckers at the end of the story. "Bullets" placed focus on the fact that "the Shimmer" was famously green in color, which it was logical to conclude was because Springer himself is green. Curiously, however, we here learn that the hologram-contact method was in use before Springer ever joined the Wreckers; does that mean that it's the hologram itself that's specifically projected in green light, or was it purple while Impactor used it?
*In the flashback portions of the story, Kup appears with his design from his original appearance in ''[[Spotlight: Kup]]''.
*Impactor and Springer's first meeting was previously seen in the ''[[Transformers: Mosaic]]'' strip, "[[Dead Men's Boots]]," complete with dialogue repeated here. However, see "Errors."
*Overlord was last seen in [[The Dying of the Light Part 6: Do Not Go Gentle|''More than Meets the Eye'' #55]], in which he concluded that the Autobot Megatron of today was no longer worthy of his attention—hence his desire to travel back in time and confront the Megatron of the past. Numerous references are made to the Wreckers' last meeting with him in [[Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|''Last Stand of the Wreckers'' #5]], including the giant gun Springer used against him, him ripping Springer's face off, Verity telling him Megatron was dead, and Impactor stabbing him in the eye with his harpoon.
** A more subtle nod occurs as we first see his human form, as he's in the same distinctive arms-raised jazz-hands pose as his "please attend carefully" speech from ''Last Stand'' #3.
*When describing the rationale behind Impactor's plan to kill a human politician, Carnivac notes "a cop killed by an Autobot leaves a scar," alluding the death of officer [[John Powell]] at the hands of [[Jazz (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Jazz]] in [[Revenge of the Decepticons Part 4: Burning Chrome|''The Transformers'' vol. 1 #17]], that shadow which has been shown by ''[[Optimus Prime (comic)|Optimus Prime]]'' to still hang over the Autobots.
*The version of Optimus Prime who appears in the Timemaze's monitors showing different times and potential realities is sporting the unique Prime design Roche created for a one-page sequence in [[Sins of the Wreckers issue 2|''Sins of the Wreckers'' #2]].
*One of the monitors shows [[Megatron (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Megatron]], who has been appearing as a [[Maximal]] over in ''[[Optimus Prime (comic)|Optimus Prime]]''.
*Springer shoots through Impactor's body to blast Overlord, just as Impactor shot through his during the infamous battle on [[Pova]], as seen in [[Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 4|''Last Stand of the Wreckers'' #4]] and 5.
*Among Springer's four prospective Wreckers is [[Bulkhead (G1)|Bulkhead]], the Generation 1 version of the [[Bulkhead (Prime)|''Transformers Prime'' character]] who has already made several cameo appearances in IDW continuity. This marks his first appearance in the modern era of this universe, his other appearances having been in pre-war stories.

*Overlord's human alias, "Megan Guiglione," is named after his [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmaster]] partners [[Mega]] and [[Giga]] from ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]''. In "Guiglione's" speech, heard on page 2, "she" refers to "the great American public" as "the real power masters" in an allusion to this, [[Powermaster]]s being the English-language equivalent of Godmasters.
*In addition to Overbite, Stampy, and Roche-original character "Tuskmaster," all originally seen in ''Sins of the Wreckers'', the ranks of Mayhem include two new characters: [[Smolder]] and [[Steamhammer (PCC)|Steamhammer]] from the ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' toyline.
*In addition to various recognizable Generation 1 and [[Beast Era]] characters shown in the Timemaze's monitors, there's a character a little more from left field: [[Optimus Prime (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime]].
*Also visible on the Timemaze's monitors is a forearm with a spiked mace instead of a hand—a nice, safe, non-trademark-infringing cameo appearance by Marvel UK star and longtime Roche favorite [[Death's Head (G1)|Death's Head]].
*One last Easter egg on the monitors includes a metal planet, connected to others like it by a huge web. This is [[Hub (G2)|the Hub]], the interlinked network of cyberformed worlds created by the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]] and ruled over by the [[Liege Maximo]] in the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic book]], which author [[Simon Furman]] never got the chance to tell the [[Alignment|full story]] of due to the comic's cancellation.
*Springer calls Impactor a "wily old buzzard," Impactor's "loving" insult of choice for [[Xaaron|Emirate Xaaron]], as seen in the Marvel UK story, "[[Target: 2006]]."
*One of the headlines on "Megan" shows "her" holding the decapitated head of Optimus Prime on a spike in her hand with an American flag in the other, paying homage to [[Klaus Scherwinski]]'s cover for [[All Hail Megatron issue 1|''All Hail Megatron'' #1]].
*Verity banks with "Tipton Banking Online," an apparent reference to IDW editor [[Denton J. Tipton]]. Also her middle name is "Simone" because [[Simon Furman|of course]].
*While his head is still the ''Prime'' design, Bulkhead's torso now takes after his [[Bulkhead (Animated)|''Animated'' counterpart]].
*Bulkhead's involvement with the Wreckers comes from his ''Prime'' counterpart.
*Two of Springer's prospective Wreckers are Generation 1 incarnations of [[Breacher (TF 2010)|live-action movieverse Breacher]] and [[Strongarm (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' Strongarm]].

===Real-life references===
*Verity refers to her and Springer's road trip as "going full-on Last Stand of the Jack Kerou-eckers," referring to the American novelist {{w|Jack Kerouac}} and his famous work, ''{{w|On the Road}}'', based on his travels across the United States in the 40s and 50s.
*The gas station Verity and Springer stop at is part of the "Alliance Gas" chain, which weirdly makes use of the same logo as the [[wikia:c:masseffect:Alliance Navy|Systems Alliance Navy]] from the ''{{w|Mass Effect}}'' series of video games.
*The protester holding a sign that says "The end is nigh" is a reference to the graphic novel ''{{w|Watchmen}}''.
*Verity gives Overlord the nickname "Lose-Like-Jagger," a double reference to musician {{w|Mick Jagger}} (whose famously pouty lips rival Overlord's own) and the {{w|Maroon 5}} song about him, "{{w|Moves like Jagger}}."
*Verity also calls Overlord "Thunderlips," referring to a character from the movie ''{{w|Rocky III}}''.
*On a hot nickname streak, Verity dubs Tarantulas "P-Didn't," after "P. Diddy," one of the stage names of rapper {{w|Sean Combs}}.
*She also refers to the Timemaze as "Noisemaze Two: Electric Boogaloo," after the 1984 film, ''{{w|Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo}}.''

===Errors===
*The credits page doesn't list any artist for page 6. It's Roche.
*Springer's account of his first meeting with Impactor may match the single panel seen in "Dead Men's Boots," but it doesn't quite jibe with the more detailed account given in "[[Zero Point]]." That story had the meeting take place in the [[Toxic Sludge Swamps]], where Springer was tracking a distress call, rather than fighting to hold territory, and Impactor made his entrance by "dropping out the sky" and eliminating eight Decepticons at once.
*The fourth and final of Springer's recruits appears to be [[Quickswitch]]... who died in [[Good Men|''Transformers vs. Visionaries'' #4]]. It didn't seem plausible that this story could fall between Kup's death and Quickswitch's; eventually, both [[Josh Burcham]] <ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/151842-requiem-of-the-wreckers-discussion/?p=3739444 Comment by Josh Burcham (dcjosh) at The Allspark]</ref> and Roche<ref>Nick Roche at TFcon Canada 2018</ref> would agree with the "{{w|No-Prize}}" fix that this character was [[Sixknight]], despite his Quickswitch-y colors.

===Other trivia===
*This perfect-bound one-shot (marketed as an "Annual") is 52 pages in length, containing 40 pages of story. Backmatter includes a look behind the scenes with commentary from Roche, including original notebook pages that outline early ideas for the story, character designs for Guiglione, Verity, and the 'bots with new alternate modes (Impactor, who has dropped his tank mode for an armored car, and Stampy, Overbite, and Tuskmaster, who have shed their animal forms for vehicle ones), and [[character model]]s for Springer, Impactor, and Kup that Roche assembled for [[Geoff Senior]], who draws the three flashback portions of the story.

Hoo hey, [[Starscream (Movie)|'''Starscream''']] has a metric buttload of toys! That's 1.1 American buttloads!

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Legends Starscream.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|A gold paint job can't hide the lameness.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Legends Class, 2007)

: Legends-class Starscream is a highly simplified, low-cost version of Starscream in his F-22 Raptor body. As such, he has a greatly compromised transformation sequence due to the smaller parts count, with limited articulation and detailing. He's also the bronzest F-22 Raptor Starscream toy there is.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]].

*'''Battle for the Allspark''' (Toys'R'Us exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A Toys R Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#BftAS|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (Movie)#TRULegendsPack|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BftAS|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#BftAS|Megatron]], Starscream, and [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#BftAS|Barricade]].

*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime vs. Stealth Starscream''' (Legends Allspark Battles two-pack, 2008)

: The previously released Legends-class Starscream toy is redecoed predominantly black and silver, somewhat resembling ''Generation 1'' [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. Oddly enough, the paint applications are identical to the regular toy. He comes with a redeco Legends-class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in his Nightwatch color scheme.

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:MovieProtoform Starscream toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Gold Plastic Syndrome. We totally called it..]]
*'''Protoform Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:Based upon the "Protoform" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the movie, Protoform Starscream transforms into his "entry" mode Cybertronic rocket thing. This mode somewhat resembles a Cybertronic spaceship, with a visible bridge between the two dorsal fins. A flame decoration piece fits onto the back of the "vehicle" over the missile projectile, creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail . The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. In robot mode, Starscream marginally resembles previous Starscreams, mostly G1 Starscream, with the large turbines on his chest, wings and vents on his legs. Due to his extensive use of ball joints, he has excellent articulation.

:Starscream is armed with a spring-loaded missile launcher that fires the previously mentioned projectile cast in the same bronze color as his body. Alternatively, the flame decoration can be fitted onto the end of the barrel. The flame can also be placed onto the missile, using both at once. However, in some cases, the flame does not have a snug fit on the missile and falls off easily. This makes firing the missile rather awkward and makes the gun look extremely goofy.

:This toy also has an [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature, as most of the figures in the main line do. Pushing his head back during transformation will move his shoulder pieces back into place, while moving the shoulders forward will make the head pop back up.

: It has been reported that this figure can suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|GPS]], as the bronze plastic it is cast in has the same characteristic swirling exhibited by older figures that rapidly deteriorated. The gold plastic tends to get especially brittle on the hinges that attach the two small wings to his legs. The plastic that houses the joints is somewhat thin and will give way over time. It is highly suggested that this toy not be painted or altered in any way to maximize its lifespan. <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/395208-gold-plastic-syndrome-2007-movie-protoform-starscream.html TFW2005 survey of GPS in Protoform Starscream figures]</ref> Thankfully, to date, this is the last recorded instance of GPS, meaning Hasbro has most likely caught on and stopped using gold plastic.

[[Image:ProtoformStarscreamProto.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Brought down from second place.]]
: The card back [[stock photo]] of Protoform Starscream features a completely different deco, with silver replacing all the bronze. It also has a different, earlier head sculpt. (See [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Notes|Notes]] below)

*'''Protoform Starscream Fusion Cluster Edition''' (C3xHobby Convention exclusive Deluxe, Japan 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Starscream 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 orange plastic, while orange and yellow paint are used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

Released in 2008, only 5 pieces were made.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Voyager Starscream toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Shake hands with danger.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Voyager, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

: The Voyager-class version of Movie Starscream transforms into an officially-licensed {{w|F-22|Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet}}, albeit in beige.

:Pushing the fighter along a smooth surface causes the missile-launching barrels to rotate and fire their projectiles, which can also be stored in the black flip-up braces on the launchers. This gimmick doesn't always work very well. If the toy's gears are not perfecty aligned during assembly, the spinning cannons can be stopped by the firing tab or rotate right past it without even firing. Many samples don't rotate at all! During transformation, pushing up upon the canopy fuselage piece activates Starscream's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick, which pushes panels out of the torso, wings and stabilizers. In robot mode, Starscream is mostly faithful to his movie CGI model, except for being bulkier around his chest, lacking engines on his back and having the very large Gatling cannons serve as his arms (a facsimile of his much slenderer weapons from the movie). Interestingly, his projectile missiles are sculpted to resemble fingers, should users choose to keep them loaded while Starscream is in robot mode. An interesting note is that [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle's]] (or Camshaft's) hands, when detached, make a snug fit in between the three main cannons; if you're feeling sillier, ''Legends'' [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] shoulder does, too. Go on, try it yourself, yes, we'll wait...

:This toy was later [[retool]]ed and [[Redeco|redecoed]] into Movie [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], ROTF [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]], and ROTF [[Skywarp (Movie)|Skywarp]].

*'''Starscream''' (Target exclusive Voyager-sized toy, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

: An extensive redeco of Voyager class Starscream available only as a Target [[exclusive]], this version is [[Redeco|redecoed]] in a color scheme based upon ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. This version of Starscream shares the retooled version of this mold with Movie Thundercracker, giving Starscream a new, vaguely G1-ish head sculpt. The packaging for this toy explains that Starscream altered his appearance following his escape at the end of the film in order to avoid detection.

*'''Starscream Vardia Red Model''' (Toshiba exclusive Voyager-sized toy, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

: In a joint venture by Paramount Home Entertainment Japan and electronics giant {{w|Toshiba}}, Starscream Vardia Red Model is an exclusive redeco of Voyager Starscream only available with Toshiba's new ''Vardia'' RD-A301 HD DVD recorder. The package also comes with an HD-DVD copy of ''Transformers'', five HD DVD-R and five DVD-R discs.

:Starscream Vardia Red Model is '''extremely''' red, with some gold, a little black and Toshiba ''Vardia'' markings on his hull. With the player costing 100,000 yen at the time, this may be the most expensive ''Transformers'' exclusive to be released in relatively large quantities.

[[Image:Movie DeepSpaceStarscream toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I'm Starscream, and I can breathe in space. ]]
*'''Deep Space Starscream''' (Target exclusive "Premium Series" Voyager, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Six missiles

:A Target exclusive, Deep Space Starscream is a redeco of the first version of Voyager class Starscream, based upon the colours used by [[Industrial Light & Magic]] on Starscream's CGI model (instead of the totally made up and inaccurate tan colouring on the previous release). As such he is metallic silver with complementary greys in fighter mode, including the 'First Fighter' (FF) squadron markings indicating he is an F-22 Raptor from {{w|Langley Air Force Base}}. In robot mode reveals gold paint inside his chest detailing and red for circuitry detailing. His eyes are painted film-accurate red, but the rest of the [[Light-piping]] that makes up the back of his head is left uncolored, making the glowing eye effect no longer work while STILL retaining the miscolored bronzed glass color that the clear plastic was molded in. If one wanted to restore the light piping, though, the paint is fairly easy to remove.

: Deep Space Starscream is presented in 'Premium Octagonal' packaging very similar to Robo-Vision Optimus Prime. Even though Hasbro officially considers him as part of the Premium Series, this is not indicated anywhere on the packaging. This toy was given a European mass retail release in 2009.

====Fast Action Battlers====

*'''Battle Blade Starscream''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''QC-02'''

: [[Fast Action Battlers]] "Battle Blade" Starscream transforms into a somewhat superdeformed F-22 Raptor, simplifying the overall design to the point of his feet noticeably sticking out the aft of the fighter, and has a truncated transformation sequence reminiscent of past Transformers such as ''Generation 1'' [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and ''Cybertron'' [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]]. Rather than having a separate weapon, he only has a claw-like blade that flips over the right hand (hence "Battle Blade") and non-removable missiles in the palms of his hands.

: This toy was later redecoed as [[Ramjet (Movie)|Claw Slash Ramjet]].

: There is a Korean [[Knockoff|fake]] of this model going around, under the name of "Latent Spider". Fortunately no real spiders have been found latent inside the toy.

====Other toys====
*'''Starscream''' (Little Red Rooster Meal, 2007)

:One of five toys that was available at Red Rooster, an Australian based fast food chain. This kids meal toy is a black F-22 Raptor with a silver canopy that transforms by simply flipping the jet around to reveal the gray robot mode underneath, pulling down the landing gear and legs, and standing him upright.

===Revenge of the Fallen===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Starscream ROTF Legends toy.jpg|right|thumb|300px|So I wake up with a hangover and find all these tattoos all over me. Damn parties.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-04'''

:Legends class Starscream is a redeco of [[#Legends Class toys|2007's Legends class Starscream]], the main difference being a mostly single main colour scheme (compared to 2007's rather random colour choices) and the ''Revenge of the Fallen''-specific Cyberglyph tattoos.

:For some odd reason, his card back depicts how to transform him from his alt-mode to his robot mode; as all Legends are packaged in robot mode, wouldn't robot-to-vehicle work better?

:Starscream is a redeco of 2007's Legends class Starscream. He came packaged with [[Smokescreen (Movie)#Legend|Smokescreen]] as a [[Target]] [[exclusive]] as part of the [[NEST Global Alliance]] [[subline imprint]].

*'''Starscream''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-02'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Starscream is far more accurate to the movie model in both modes than the previous movie's Voyager mold, with a more dramatic [[transformation scheme]] to boot.

:In robot mode, Starscream has two arm-mounted, spring loaded missile launchers sculpted to resemble his {{w|M61 Vulcan|M61A2 Vulcan 20 mm rotary cannons}}. These weapons end up underneath and facing backwards in vehicle mode. He also has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick, which is linked between his head and chest; when you turn his head, the gears in his chest spin.

:He has amber light piping for his eyes, but they've been painted over in red.

[[Image:ROTFtoy-StarscreamVoyager-popoutlaunchers.jpg|left|thumb|150px|I had more joints!]]

:According to the [[stock photography|stock photos]] of the hand-painted [[prototype]] (seen at left), Starscream's hands originally had a joint down the middle of his palms, possibly to facilitate in hiding them in fighter mode. His arm-mounted cannons were also originally separate parts from his forearms, jointed to move back and forth, again possibly to hide them in fighter mode. However this was [[design change|changed]] for the final toy, with the hands now molded as one piece and unable to be hidden in vehicle mode, and his cannons' details (including the joints) simply molded directly onto his arms. His knee caps were also originally a separate movable piece and not joined to his upper leg. It is assumed that all this was done for cost cutting. His packaging call-outs (excepting Europe) still claim that he has "pop out missile launchers," despite this gimmick's removal. The toy's [[instructions]] include a superfluous "flip down hands" step, and depict the missile launchers extended with partially-folded hands when describing the missile-launch action.

:A [[redeco]] of the new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager class Starscream, Nebular Starscream is a "powered up" version of Starscream (with his packaging going so far as to promote his "exclusive powered-up paint job"). He was [[exclusive]] to [[Kmart]] stores in North America.

*'''Starscream''' (Gravity Bot, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GB-03'''

: As a [[Gravity Bot]], this Starscream features no articulation at all, but relies wholly on a gravity-based [[autotransformation]] gimmick. When laid down on a flat surface, Starscream will transform into a [[super deformed]] F-22, while standing him on his feet again will switch him to robot mode. His cockpit is now a metallic blue instead of the amber/orange.

: His unique aircraft mode (compared to the line's land-based vehicles) gives him a unique transformation, with his wings folding inward and revealing his arms, and the cockpit rotating, flipping down, and revealing his head. Quite awesomely as a result, he is the only Gravity Bot ''not'' to use [[Kibble#.22Faux-parts.22|fake kibble]] for his chest. Go Starscream!

[[Image:ROTF-toy leader Starscream.jpg|right|400px|thumb|"NO ONE DEFEATS [[Bill Rawley|BILL RAAAWLEY]]"]]
*'''Starscream''' (Leader, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, 2 Missiles

:Like the various figures released earlier, Leader Class Starscream transforms into an officially licensed Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet, decoed in a gunmetal-like gray and covered in Cybertronian tattoos to more accurately reflect his on-screen appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' than his Voyager Class toys. In robot mode, either of Starscream's hands can fold down to accommodate a spring-loaded cannon that fires one of two included projectiles; both missiles and the cannon can be stored via pegs on his back. When the fins on the missiles are lined up with the slot on Starscream's wrist, the missiles can also attach to his hands using the same holes as the missile launcher. In Raptor mode, the launcher stores in a space on the underside, and can be flipped out to fire his missiles from underneath. Starscream also features two flip-out, non-firing weapons on his forearms: a cannon resembling an M61 Vulcan on the right, and two generic missiles on the left.

:Starscream's primary gimmick in this size is the addition of electronic lights and sounds. Pulling down on his canopy in robot mode opens chest panels and his mouth and produces one of two phrases: "Decepticons will crush the Autobots!" and "No one can defeat Starscream!" in the version released in the United States, and simply "Decepticons!" and "Starscream!" in the version released in rest of the world, including most of the version released in Canada, Mexico, and Latin America. Additionally, the canopy activates LEDs which light up Starscream's clear, red eyes and various other portions of clear, amber plastic in his chest. During transformation, a button is activated, causing the toy to play a four-note version of [[Transformation#The_noise|the transformation noise]]. In Raptor mode, Starscream's lights and sounds are activated by a Decepticon sigil-covered button on the top of the jet. In addition to lighting the canopy and turbines, this button plays two sounds: either generic jet engine noises or Starscream's voice saying either "No one can defeat Starscream!" (US) or simply "Starscream!" (International).

:An important step was left out of the instructions concerning how to transform Starscream to robot mode. A flap attaches from the fuselage to the cockpit section. To disconnect this part, the cockpit window has to be lifted using notches on the side. Otherwise, you cannot flip the front of the jet forward.

**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] two-pack is based upon the scene in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' where Starscream pursues [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] in Egypt. The Voyager Class Starscream toy features a much brighter plastic colour and has "battle damage" scorch mark paint decos. [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 2|Mudflap]] features a weathered, sandblasted deco. They were part of the "[[Hunt for the Decepticons]]" promotion, and Starscream came with a collector's card.

*'''Starscream''' (Activator, 2010)

:[[Activators]] Starscream is a small toy with cutesified proportions in both robot and F-22 modes. His transformation is greatly simplified, with most of the jet parts just hanging off his back in robot mode. Like all Activators, Starscream features button-activated [[autotransformation]] from jet to robot. While the card's photography shows Starscream as having rolling wheels for landing gear, the final has the landing gear molded in one piece with the legs, probably due to budget cuts.

**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''002'''

**''Accessories:'' missile launcher, missile, [[Chicago]]
:A brand-new [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Legion-class mold, Starscream comes with an [[Orbital Assault Carrier|“Assault Craft”]] similar to the kind the Decepticons use in the film. Starscream himself is much more movie-accurate, better proportioned, and well articulated, capable of rotating his thighs, bending his arms, and raising his shoulders.

:Like the previous movie's Voyager figure, Starscream's hands stick out of the back of the vehicle mode. Also, while landing gear is molded on both the undercarriage and the nose of the jet, the odd layout of robot parts in vehicle mode means they can't all rest on a flat surface at once.

*'''Bumblebee / Starscream''' (Cyberverse 4-pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Gun

:[[Exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]], this four pack contains two Bumblebee and two Starscream Cyberverse Legion toys. Cybertronian Starscream is a redeco of [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'']] [[Legends Class]] [[Starscream (Armada)#LOC|Starscream]], while the other Starscream is a paint-heavy redeco and retool of the 2007 [[Movie (toyline)|''Transformers'']] Legends Class toy, partially cast in translucent plastic and painted with grid lines, presumably to simulate a [[trans-scan]] effect. This Starscream also comes with a redecoed version of ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' [[R-Blade]]'s [[R-Blade#Robotmasters|gun]], which can be held in his newly retooled left hand.

:The Starscreams come packed with a retool of [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'']] Legends Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] and a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Bumblebee]].

:An early name for this set was "Cyberverse Evolution", which is still used by some websites (including the Australian and United Kingdom Toys"R"Us sites), but that name does not appear anywhere on the packaging.

:Interestingly, his airbrushed [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him as lacking the retooled hand, while the regular stock photo to the right is flipped, showing him wielding his weapon with his right hand, instead of his left. Even more interestingly, his back wings are [[Misassembly|swapped]].

: The Cybertronian Starscream mold was also used to make ''Cybertron'' [[Ramjet (Universe)#Cybertron|Ramjet]], [[Skywarp (Armada)#Cybertron|Skywarp]], and [[Sunstorm (Universe)#Cybertron|Sunstorm]], ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Ramjet (G1)#Classic Series|Ramjet]] and [[Thrust (G1)#Classic Series|Thrust]], and ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (WFC)#War for Cybertron|Starscream]].

====Legends Class toys====
[[File:EZ-Collection-Starscream-Keroro-Ver.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Starscream's attempts to blend in with the Keronian society.]]
*'''Starscream Keroro Ver.''' (Legends, 2012)
: This green and yellow redeco of ''Movie'' [[Legends Class]] [[#Legends Class toys|Starscream]] was available free with the December 2011 edition of ''[[Kerokero Ace]]'' magazine, in which the "[[Keroro Gunsō × Transformers]]" comic was published. He came in a cardboard box attached to the magazine with a rubber band, which also contained the magazine's other free gift, a game mat for the ''Battle Spirits'' card game. Though identified as "Starscream Keroro Ver." on the box, which makes it sound like the toy is of Starscream himself, the figure is called "Keroroscream" in various places in the magazine itself, reflecting the events of the comic strip, in which it's a transformed [[Keroro]].

:In lieu of paint—save for his two red optics and golden cockpit—Keroroscream comes with a large sheet of stickers (bound inside the magazine), which allows buyers to kit him out with one of three optional decos: one set features a red and black "hotrod" flame design; a second offers fanservice-y shots of the female members of the ''Keroro Gunsō'' cast in swimsuits; and a third featuring Keroro's fellow platoon members, with Keroro's distinctive winking eyes on the figure's chest. The third set lacks dedicated stickers for the figure's wings; in their place, a blank set of wing stickers is included that buyers could draw their own designs on as part of a contest to win ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' toys. Of course, if you want, you can mix and match these three sets to your heart's content.

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:DOTMtoy-StarscreamDeluxe.jpg|right|thumb|300px|I brought a knife to a shrink ray fight.]]
*'''Starscream''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD02'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 MechTech Null Ray Cannons/Swords

:''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Starscream is a brand-new sculpt, transforming into a surprisingly accurate F-22 Raptor. In spite of being at a much smaller scale than previous Voyager-class Starscreams, his parts hide much better into his vehicle mode. His incredibly flexible arms have joints at the shoulder, in the middle of the upper arm, elbow, and wrist, allowing them to neatly fold up for transformation, as well as scratch his own back.

:He comes with two [[MechTech]] weapons, with one weapon being static and the other being functional. Both weapons are double-sided, featuring a "[[Null-ray]] cannon" barrel (which looks like a machine-gun barrel) on one side and a "sword" on the other. Pushing forward the scope on the functional weapon will cause the sword weapon to extend, increasing its reach. The peg and cannon barrel on the static weapon correspond to the peg-hole and the hole of the scope of the functional weapon, meaning his null rays can combine to form a double bladed weapon that's way taller than he is. This means that he is one of the few Deluxe Class figures to have a MechTech weapon that can remain locked in both modes, which is awesome. Aside from the [[5mm post]]s on the side of either weapon, the Null-ray barrels at their tips are actually 5mm wide, enabling other figures to wield each weapon normally.

:There are a grand total of 6 MechTech holes, with two under the wings, two under the rear stabilizers, and two on Starscream's forearms. The two under the tail allow the weapons to be stored on the robot mode's back.

:This mold was later redecoed into [[Thundercracker (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Skywarp]] and Movie Advanced Starscream found further down in this page. His MechTech weapons were [[retool]]ed into [[Darksteel (DOTM)|Darksteel]]'s weapons.

*'''Starscream''' (2011)

: Released as part of the [[Robo Power]] series of Activators, Starscream features a simple transform that is activated by pushing on the red "thrusters" located in the back of his fighter jet mode; pushing it a second time will cause him to revert back to aircraft mode. Unlike some of the other figures in this series, Starscream boasts not only shoulder articulation but also elbow articulation. Owing to the kid-friendly nature of the toy, [[For safety reasons|the nosecone halves are made of a soft material]].

:Starscream came packaged in a box that was open, but with twist ties and a plastic tray in place to keep him from being transformed.

**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-06'''
**''Accessories'': Missile Launcher, [[Mission City]] backdrop, <s>sawblade</s>

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Starscream is an all-new Voyager-sized mold, borrowing a lot of the engineering of the [[#Deluxe Class toys 2|''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe mold]]. As such, he has peg holes in many of the same spots. There are two major changes added during the up-scaling process—an extra peg hole in the middle of his robot mode back to store his weapon, and extra chest panels that fold away under his wings. He comes with a non-firing missile launcher/claw that can be mounted onto his wrists by folding back his hands. As ''Studio Series'' prioritizes scale, Starscream stands taller than [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Studio_Series|Optimus Prime]].

:The initial prototypes displayed at a Chinese toy convention {{fact|which one?}} and the finalized Hasbro stock photos depict him having a sawblade accessory that is not featured in the final product. The sawblade accessory is later included in the ''Revenge of the Fallen''-themed redeco of the figure below.

:''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Movie Advanced]]'' Starscream is a redeco of the deluxe class Dark of the Moon Starscream without tattoos, making him look similar to his appearance in the first movie.

:He includes two ornate axes that were originally included with the simplified deluxe version of [[Beast Hunters]] [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]], but since he lacks fists with 5mm holes they end up relegated to pegging onto the sides of his arms.

: This mold was also used to create the lunchables figure for [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]].

:A non-transformable version of Starscream, cast primarily in chalk-grey plastic. It can rotate its arms at the shoulder. The toy's main gimmick, though, is the wheel in his chest. Striking the wheel causes it to advance to the next slot, revealing damage to Starscream's torso. A second tap reveals even more damage. Despite being a free pack-in toy, the figure is surprisingly well molded, having well defined head parts and the twin afterburners on his back that even the Voyager version lacks. It even has six fingers (or rather, four fingers and two thumbs) on each hand!

He features white-bordered purple stripes containing electrical designs on his tail-fins and wings, with [[Decepticon]] [[insignia]]s on his tail-fins, as well as a large purple "shield" with electricity emanating from the Decepticon insignia in the center located on his fuselage. His robot mode is completely silver except for his red eyes. Amusingly, his vehicle uses [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] Decepticon insignias!

: So far, this has only been released in Asia, in countries like the Philippines.

:Part of the third and final wave of deluxe ''Stealth Force'' toys, Starscream is a roughly Voyager-sized toy that does not transform into a robot, but does change from a fully licensed Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor into an attack mode that is chock full of pop out weapons. His transformation is totally automatic and button-activated. He can fire one spring loaded projectile from each side of his fuselage.

:He is the only non-land based Stealth Force toy and features a unique package size due to his width. Along with all tail end ''Stealth Force'' toys, his release was scanty at best.

==Notes==
* The earlier head design of his protoform toy is featured on (what else?) his protoform body in IDW's movie prequel comics. It's since become Starscream's standard "pre-Earth" face, likely out of consistency.

'''No sooner are Optimus Prime and Bumblebee back in the land of the living than the threat of Unicron makes itself known.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Wheeljack]] sets to work finding a way to restore [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]] to the physical world, building them new bodies, using photonic material from [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] to grow them new sparks, and finally, transferring their consciousnesses out of [[Pyra Magna]]'s mind. Bumblebee is restored first, and is caught up on current events by [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] while Wheeljack repeats the process with Prime, who awakens with a start from another nightmare about the [[Dark Cybertron (prophecy)|Dark Cybertron prophecy]]. Relieved to see that Bumblebee was not merely a figment of his imagination, Prime embraces his old friend, and begins to tell him about his nightmare, before Windblade interrupts with matters of greater importance.

Windblade plays back a video recording from an hour earlier, showing a three-man team of [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]], [[Subsea]], and [[Rest-Q (G1)|Rest-Q]] departing via [[space bridge|Space Bridge]] for [[Velocitron]] to investigate a loss of contact with the planet. The trio step through the portal to find the the populace of Velocitron scattering in a mad panic in response to the appearance of a huge, horned, planet-size object in the sky, at which point the recording cuts out. The identity of the object is a mystery, but Windblade believes that [[Transformers vs. Visionaries|recent events]] that took place while Optimus was offline hold the answer. A second message was beamed into space by the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]], this time containing a word that Windblade translates as "uncreator," the opposite of [[Primus]], which she believes is the name of the monster planet: [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]].

On [[Earth]], [[Rom]] the [[Space Knight]] engages in battle with a group of humans he believes have recently come into contact with a [[Dire Wraith]]. Presently, [[Jazz (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Jazz]] arrives on the scene, having traced a line of black market Cybertronian technology to the humans, and helps Rom subdue them. Suddenly, Rom's body is wracked with pain; he senses his homeworld of [[Elonia]] is in danger as Unicron approaches it, and further, knows he will be unable to return there in time to defend it. Jazz believes he knows someone who can help...

Back on Cybertron, [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]] is led through the streets to prison. As he goes, he rambles aloud to no-one in particular, relating the story of how, following the Age of Primes, he and the [[Maximal]]s relocated to the planet [[Antilla]], only to find that it "belonged to another." His escort, [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]], snaps at him to shut up, telling him that nobody is listening to him... but Beachcomber couldn't be more wrong, as among the crowds, Shockwave's ancient servant [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] has heard his words...

Out in space, former Space Knight [[Stardrive]] also senses the threat now faced by Elonia. [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]] reminds her that she owes Elonia nothing, and that she and the rest of his team are already occupied tracking the [[Maximal]]s. The beast-robots have been hunting down Cybertronians all across the galaxy, and Prowl's team is now on their trail following their flight from Cybertron...

On Earth, [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] has taken up residence in [[South Dakota]], near [[Mount Rushmore]]. While he and [[Slag (G1)|Slug]] chat—with Slug grumbling over the fact that [[Victorion]], rather than the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], got to be the one to take down [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]—the [[President of the United States]] argues with [[Marissa Faireborn]], determined to have Trypticon sent back to Cybertron to alleviate security concerns. Their debate is interrupted by the arrival of Jazz and Rom; realizing the importance of Rom's mission to protect his homeworld, Jazz, still wanted by human authorities, surrenders himself to military custody in return for Rom being allowed to use Trypticon's Space Bridge to go to Cybertron and rally aid for Elonia.

In the [[New Cybertron]] refugee commune on [[Marshall Islands|Bikini Atoll]], [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] brings the news of Jazz's arrest and the attacks on the colonies to the Autobot colonist soldiers stationed there. Most of the group take the situation calmly, confident in Optimus Prime's ability to set it right, but of course, [[Slide]] is full of nothing but rancor for Optimus.

[[Our Darkest|Alas, even with the might of the Cybertronian fleet backing Rom up, they are unable to stop Unicron from consuming Elonia]]. Worse yet, news soon comes in that contact has also been lost with [[Eukaris]]. Rom is distraught, but [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] is all business, determined to hunt Unicron down and destroy it. Pyra Magna reveals that she has recently been in contact with Prowl, and contacts him so he can join their planning. Prowl teleconferences in live from the midst of a battle between his team and the Maximals over [[Devisiun]], which Unicron is on the cusp of devouring. Learning about the fate of the other colonies, Prowl reasons—much to Stardrive's disgust—that they must abandon Devisiun and follow the fleeing Maximals to Unicron's ''next'' target, in order to set a trap for it there. In short order, Prowl is able to deduce that that target is [[Caminus]], and the Cybertronian space fleet makes ready to defend it. Optimus Prime has a dangerous plan in mind, and warns that the price will be a high one indeed: they will evacuate the entire population of Caminus and ''let'' the planet be destroyed, buying Prime time to venture within Unicron in hopes of learning more about it.

On Cybertron, [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hole up in the corpse of [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]], where Starscream tells his followers about his plans to reunite the various Decepticons cells scattered throughout the galaxy. Presently, Rhinox arrives, and invites Starscream to accompany him to Shockwave's cell.

A news broadcast from [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]] regarding the destruction of the various colonies and the arrival of surviving refugees on Cybertron reaches New Cybertron on Earth. Having been informed of Prime's plan for Caminus by Pyra Magna, Slide tells her fellow colonists that Prime let ''all'' the colonies be destroyed, and declares it's time to end his reign for good.

==Quotes==
"'''Sitting up''' real fast and '''yelling''' always lets a 'bot know when a procedure '''worked.'''"
:—'''Wheeljack''' cheerfully responds to Optimus Prime awakening from his nightmare

"Selling out the '''living''' for the sake of expediency. I was an '''idiot''' to believe in you. Elonians... Wraiths... Cybertronians... we're '''all''' the same... we '''deserve''' each other."
:—'''Stardrive'''

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*Optimus Prime once again dreams of the [[Dark Cybertron (prophecy)|Dark Cybertron prophecy]], including the image of himself holding [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]]'s head on a pike, as he did before in [[All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|''The Transformers'' #50]]. The title of this issue, "Unstopped and Unstoppable," is the final line of the prophecy.
*The events of the ''[[Transformers vs. Visionaries]]'' mini-series are revealed to have taken place in the few days between last issue and this one.
*For the last seven years, IDW stories have made occasional reference to "Primus's opposite," an oblique way of referring to Unicron without ever saying his name. It remains unclear if the name "Unicron" is actually known in Cybertronian legend or not; Windblade has never heard it before (simply "translating" it to mean "uncreator," concluding that it is Primus's opposite based on that) but she's from a planet with a differing belief system, so that's not concrete evidence. It's mentioned in [[Unicron issue 1|''Unicron'' #1]] in reference to him being Primus's opposite, but that still takes place after Windblade reveals his name this issue.
*Jazz was last seen in [[Primeless, Part 2|issue #12]], having gone rogue to hunt down humans using Cybertronian-derived tech following the events of [[What It's Really Like|issue #8]].
*Shockwave's monologue reveals that he deliberately founded [[Eukaris]] as a place where beastformers could live free of prejudice; while this might seem at odds with his personality, ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' did establish that, during his time as a Senator, Shockwave went out of his way to establish the [[Jhiaxian Academy of Advanced Technology|Jhiaxian Academy]], a similar "refuge" for a persecuted class of Cybertronian.
*Shockwave relates how, after the end of the Age of Primes, he and and his [[Maximal]]s relocated to [[Antilla]]. They were first revealed to have a presence on the planet during that time in [[Ghost Stories|the 2017 ''Transformers'' annual]].
*The caption isn't kidding when it says Rhinox "hasn't shown up for a while"; his sole previous appearance was four years ago, in [[The Crucible|''Robots in Disguise'' #34]]. He was an ancient servant of Onyx Prime's from millions of years ago who was left behind when his master left the planet. It's unclear where he's been in the interim, if he's lived on Cybertron or if he relocated to Eukaris or elsewhere.
*Prowl's team were last seen in [[The Dead Come Home, Part 2 (of 2)|issue #14]], in which issue it was revealed Prowl was in contact with Pyra Magna.
*The events of [[Our Darkest|''Unicron'' #0]]—including the destruction of both Elonia and Eukaris—take place between pages 13 and 14 of this issue. The audience is intended to have already read that story before this issue, as it was released several months earlier for [[Free Comic Book Day]]. The end of the story leads directly into [[Unicron issue 1|''Unicron'' #1]], which opens with Unicron's attack on Caminus, and includes Starscream meeting with Shockwave following Rhinox's invitation.

===Transformers references===
*As we already knew would be the case thanks to the issues of ''[[Transformers: Unicron|Unicron]]'' that had been released before this, Bumblebee's new body is based on his "[[evergreen]]" design.
*Subsea was a generic "hi-then-die" Autobot from the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel UK]] story "[[Underworld!]]"
*Rest-Q is an Autobot [[Mini Vehicle]] created by [[Fun Publications]] and featured in a few of their "[[Transformers: Wings Universe|Wings Universe]]" stories, based on a protoype version of [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] and named after [[Rest-Q (GoBots)|a Guardian GoBot]].
*Wreck-Gar's disembodied head is ferried around by a Junkion named Detritus, a character created by [[e-HOBBY]] in 2004 who was a recolor of the original [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] toy. This is literally the first appearance he's ever made in ''Transformers'' media under his own name, in his original body.

===Real-life references===
*After Marissa promises that "no Cybertronians are going to take over this place," the president replies "that's probably exactly what the Lakota said," sarcastically alluding to the unpalatable real-world history of {{w|Mount Rushmore}}; the mountain, originally a site sacred to the {{w|Lakota Sioux}} known as "The Six Grandfathers", was illegally seized from the Lakota by the United States government in 1877 despite the {{w|Treaty of Fort Laramie}} granting the {{w|Black Hills}} to the Sioux in perpetuity — something paralleled in Optimus's annexation of Earth against humanity's wishes. Who says that comic books can't teach you anything?

*Windblade's lower lip remains unpainted for the whole issue.
*Prowl's statement on page 17 that "There's six of us" is at odds with the seven members of his ship's crew: himself, Stardrive, Wheelie, Garnak, Goldbug, Chase, and Rollbar.

===Other trivia===
*Originally solicited for late July 2018, as the second of two ''Optimus Prime'' issues to be released that month, this issue arrived late, in the second week of August. However, it was released a week early on IDW's website by mistake, allowing a small number of purchases to be made before the error was spotted and the issue was taken down.

'''Alpha Trion relates the tale of how the Thirteen Primes came together as one and the origins of the Autobot insignia.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Sunstreaker]] bring [[Sideswipe (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Sideswipe]]'s body to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for interment. As they emerge through the [[space bridge]], they are met by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]], who offers them his condolences, though the pair have few words to spare right now. They are followed through the bridge by an excited [[Aileron]], who informs Optimus that the [[President of the United States]] has finally agreed to [[Earth]] joining the [[Council of Worlds]]. Aileron hands Optimus a holographic receiver through which the president's confirmation message will be transmitted once she has the details worked out. To pass the time until the president's message comes through, Optimus, [[Pyra Magna]], and [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]] gather in [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]'s quarters, where the old 'bot tells them a story of the ''first'' time Cybertron became united...

''Millions of years ago, the twins [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]]—then identifying herself as male—and [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]] are champion gladiators who fight for the amusement of [[Septimus Prime]] and his [[Supplicants of Arrius]]. That changes when, with [[energon]] running low, Septimus orders the two to fight ''each other'' until only one is left alive... but their battle is interrupted by the arrival of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], lord of the [[Darklands]], who slays the Supplicants and declares his intent to absorb Septimus's kingdom of [[Protihex|Protohex]] into his. When Septimus refuses to join him, Megatronus hurls him into the gladiator ring for Arcee and Galvatron to kill.''

''A short time later, the panicked [[Vector Prime]] brings news of Septimus's death and the sacking of Protohex before Alpha Trion, [[Alchemist Prime]], [[Solus Prime]], and [[Nexus Prime]]—a group of Primes who have all allied to build a settlement they call the [[Crystal City]]. The conquering horde now marches toward the Crystal City, but ahead of it comes the Primes' dark brother [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]] and his new companion [[Liege Maximo]], who has also lost his kingdom to the Darklanders. The Primes are initially suspicious of this newcomer, but Onyx and Maximo explain they have come to offer aid to the Primes in fighting off the Darklander army. Onyx hopes they can all agree to work as one, but if they cannot, he and his army of beasts will fight the Darklanders alone. Onyx is scornful of the other Primes' belief in the [[Guiding Hand]], preferring to make history with his own actions rather than following the teachings of what he sees as fairy tales, but Alpha Trion takes him aside to point out the importance of such legends and stories. Those tales are what have helped inspire the building of Crystal City, and will provide the inspiration the people of the city need to join the impending battle, despite the fact they are but poor farmers, rather than warriors. Onyx genuinely begins to appreciate the power that stories hold, and Alpha Trion agrees to convince the other Primes to work him with to combat the Darklanders.''

''Once an alliance is made, Onyx's beasts train the people of the Crystal City as best they can, but time is short, and the Darklanders are soon upon them, with Arcee and Galvatron leading the charge. The battle is brutal and bloody, and partway into the fighting, the very substance of Cybertron itself begins to quake. From beneath the surface of the planet, three living legends emerge, drawn out by the fighting: [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], [[Chela]], and [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]], the first [[Titan (IDW)|Titans]], who legends claim fought by [[Primus]]'s side in eons past. The entire battlefield falls silent at this awesome sight... which proves to be just the opening Onyx Prime needs. He scythes his way through the Darklanders, making straight for their leader... but is taken aback to discover that that leader is Megatronus, an old friend of his. The two make peace, and the battle is brought to an end, all eight Primes declaring a truce and that they will work together for a unified Cybertron.''

''As Crystal City celebrates its new future, Onyx takes a leaf out of Alpha Trion's book, and begins making up stories of his own, starting with one about a "Chosen One" that he tells a drunken Alchemist Prime. Next, Onyx shows Alpha Trion a sigil he has designed that will represent their alliance—the symbol that will become the [[Autobot]] insignia, which Onyx claims is based on the face of [[Primus]] himself, as described by Metrotitan. Alpha Trion is not convinced, and grows concerned that Onyx is blurring the line between a "story" and a "lie". Arcee, meanwhile, can already see a different kind of lie taking form, predicting that the five remaining Primes from across Cybertron will soon join forces with the eight of Crystal City; and together, the lie ''they'' will believe together is that they are superior to other Cybertronians. Trion mutters that it will be Arcee's job to keep them in their place, then departs to speak with one of the Titans, intending to learn all he can about Cybertron before everything changes...''

Unable to decipher the parable of Alpha Trion's story, Starscream dismisses the whole thing as nonsense, but Optimus cautions him to remember it as Cybertron moves towards a new unified future. Just then, the president's transmission comes through, and she introduces the group to Earth's newly-appointed representative to the council. The face of [[Buster (IDW)|Buster]] the dog fills the holo-display, causing Starscream and Pyra Magna to go into conniptions, but a moment later, the ''actual'' representative comes into view: [[Marissa Faireborn]]!

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*Alpha Trion recalls having his head cut off, which happened at the hands of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] in [[White Light|''The Transformers'' #56]]. Optimus notes [[G.B. Blackrock|Garrison Blackrock]]'s involvement in the escapade (as a [[Titan Master]], he took the place of Trion's head in [[White Heat|issue #57]]) and mentions that Blackrock now wears the Autobot symbol, as seen over in ''[[Revolutionaries]]'', prompting Trion to tell his story.
*The history of the Autobot symbol was first talked about briefly by Trion in [[Omega's Conundrum|''Spotlight: Orion Pax'']], a conversation Prime remembers. The last scene of the flashback where Alpha mentions wanting to talk to a Titan and explore Cybertron is most likely a callback to Trion's claim that he and Metroplex charted the surface of Cybertron.
*This issue gives us our first proper look at Arcee back before she was re-engineered by [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]], at a time when she identified as male. Arcee first mentioned having a brother just [[The Life of Sideswipe|last issue]], who is revealed in this story to be Galvatron; the reveal casts new light on the characters' curious closeness and familiarity during the second "season" of [[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|''Robots in Disguise'']], and in particular, a discussion they had on "brotherhood" in [[Now and On Earth|''The Transformers'' #42]].
*It's a little eyebrow-raising to see a ''fourteenth'' Prime, [[Septimus Prime]], appear on ancient Cybertron, but not at all illogical for IDW continuity. After all, here, the Primes ''aren't'' the divine first creations of [[Primus]] that they are in other continuities—they're just the 'bots who emerged as tribal leaders in Cybertronian prehistory, so there could easily be any number of them. Given what we [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|learn about him later]], Onyx Prime's singling him out as "not one of" the real Primes makes a lot of sense.
*Galvatron was originally stated to come from [[Protihex|Protohex]] in [[Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|''More than Meets the Eye'' #9]], but has been consistently identifying himself as hailing from the [[Darklands]] since [[Earthfall Chapter 3: The Mind Bomb|''Robots in Disguise'' #30]]. This issue explains the inconsistency; he ''was'' originally from Protohex, where Septimus Prime's coliseum was located, but Protohex was then absorbed into the Darklands when it was conquered by Megatronus.
*Onyx Prime is drawn with only two cloven, digitigrade legs, instead of the four-legged centaur-style lower body he should have, based on the [[:File:10OnyxPrime.jpg|character art]] published in [[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|''The Covenant of Primus'']], established to be the case in IDW continuity by previous on-panel appearances in [[Ghost Stories|the 2017 ''Transformers'' annual]] and [[The Iron Klaw|''Revolutionaries'' #4]]. At the time, this was believed to be an error, but [[The Falling, Chapter 3: The Ground|HOO-boy]]...
*Galvatron's hatred of [[beast mode]] Transformers stood out as notable for most of his appearances in season 2 of ''Robots in Disguise''; here we learn that Galvatron's very first military campaign involved going to war against and failing to conquer Onyx's army of beast Transformers. It's not hard to see how that might stoke a grudge!
*As Alpha Trion and Onyx Prime talk on page 11, the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]], the mysterious ancient obelisk that is the central MacGuffin of ''[[Revolutionaries]]'', can be spotted casually propped against a wall in the background. ''Revolutionaries'' has established that this artifact once belonged to Onyx Prime, but [[Our Finest|later issues]] would reveal that the origins of the Talisman are irreconcilable with this cameo.
*Way back when Metrotitan first appeared in [[Primus: All Good Things|the 2012 ''Robots in Disguise'' annual]], when the concepts of the Guiding Hand and the [[Knights of Cybertron]] were still very new, the story accidentally muddled the two up; the [[Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations|2012 ''More than Meets the Eye'' annual]] had just explained that the Titans served the Knights, but the ''Robots in Disguise'' annual said they served the Hand, which didn't sit with ''More than Meets the Eye''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s presentation of the Hand as just creation myths. Other stories since (like [[The Transformers: Primacy|''Primacy'']] and [[The Transformers: Redemption|''Redemption'']]) have established the existence of legends that claim the Titans ''did'' exist at the time of the Guiding Hand, and this issue revisits the original gaffe and smooths it out, by having Onyx—now well into the business of making up stories to sway others to his way of thinking—claim that Metrotitan served the Guiding Hand in ancient times.
*Mention is made of "Primus's opposite" once again, IDW's preferred way of alluding to [[Unicron]], which began in ''[[Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime]]''. Outside of these allusions, Unicron has still not appeared or been directly named in IDW continuity as of yet.
*As mentioned by Galvatron a few years ago in [[Onyx Interface Part One: Signals, Calls, and Marches|''The Transformers'' #35]], Alchemist Prime is shown to invent the prophecy that talks of the "Chosen One" after getting drunk on rancid [[engex]]. He actually credits ''Onyx'' with telling him about it...
*The end of this issue leads into [[First Strike issue 1|''First Strike'' #1]], and Earth's induction into the council. Unfortunately, that issue had already ''come out'' several weeks before this, spoiling the surprise of Marissa's appointment—though the president ''had'' already hinted at it pretty hard last issue.

===Transformers references===
*Alchemist Prime scarcely appears without a drink in his hand. The "rancid engex" gag was the only pre-existing basis for his booziness in IDW continuity, and it ''might'' just be an outgrowth of that... but it ''could'' also be drawn from "[[Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime]]", which built on that gag to paint a larger picture of Alchemist as a big drinker, drawing parallels between him and the Greek god of wine {{w|Dionysus}}, and jokingly implying he might be the [[Maccadam|owner]] of the [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|most famous bar on Cybertron]].
*''Beeeeast Warrrs!'' **guitar riff** Among Onyx's animal-army is a robot who looks an awful lot like [[Megatron (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Megatron]], seen in the bottom-right corner of page 10, and on the left side of page 12 is the left arm/pincer weapon of Megatron's [[Megatron (BW)/toys#MegaTransmetal|Transmetal toy]]. On the same page is a face appearing to be [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]], filling the bottom-right corner. While one might have assumed that the latter was a tie-in to the upcoming ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Power of the Primes|toy]], Barber stated it was in fact a coincidence.<ref>[https://twitter.com/TheJohnBarber/status/969601204211732480 Tweet by @TheJohnBarber, 2018/03/02]</ref>

===Real-world references===
*Onyx Prime's comment on the nature of war references a quote attributed to {{w|Robert E. Lee}}: "It is good that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it."

===Errors===
*Starscream is drawn in his ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|body]], despite having been in his ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|body]] since ''[[The Transformers: Till All Are One|Till All Are One]] [[Ping|#5]]''.
*Arrius is described as the god of wisdom, making it clear "Arrius" is just another name for [[Solomus]] of the Guiding Hand. Megatronus says that the Darklanders know him as "Solom'''n'''us," but it's not clear if that's a wee typo, or if it's just a third name the deity is known by.
*This issue contradicts [[Earthfall Chapter 3: The Mind Bomb|''Robots in Disguise'' #30]], which depicted the first meeting of Alpha Trion and Galvatron as the War of the Thirteen Tribes was drawing to a conclusion. Here, however, Galvatron and Alpha Trion are familiar with each other from the very beginning of Cybertronian civilization, with both playing a role in establishing the Primes' role in the first place.
*Starscream questioning the validity of Megatronus's name isn't an error ''per se'' but it does stand out as slightly odd considering [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] told him the Fallen's true name [[Heavy|when recounting the origins of Liege Maximo]]. Then again he might not have been paying attention.

The Arisen

2018-08-14T15:02:19Z

Magaroja: /* Notes */

:''The Arisen is a member of the [[Thirteen]] from the [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW continuity portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:TAAO9 the arisen.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.25|After years of ignoring Grigori, The Arisen's scar grew to cover most of his torso.]]
The true name of the Cybertronian known only as '''The Arisen''' (sometimes '''The Thirteenth''') cannot be found in any record on either [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] or [[Caminus]]. All that is known of him is that he is the [[Thirteenth Prime|thirteenth member]] of the [[Thirteen|original Thirteen Primes]].

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Transformers vol. 2 #47]] (mentioned); [[Heavy|Transformers: Till All Are One #9]] (obscured image)
Like the other Primes, the robot would become known as The Arisen once ruled over one of the [[Thirteen Tribes]] in the ancient days of Cybertron. Along with four others, he was attracted to the [[Crystal City]] alliance and became one of the Thirteen Primes. As Crystal City grew and expanded, he joined his fellow [[Prime (rank)|Primes]] in its citadel. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

[[File:OP18 Thirteen in Crystal City.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2|That's me in the corner. That's [[Prima|him]] in the spotlight, building a religion.]]
He and his brethren would later vanish from the planet when war tore the tribes apart, and disappeared into legend. For reasons unknown, his name was stricken from history, along with that of his brother [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]; whereas Megatronus became known only as "The Fallen," he was dubbed "The Arisen." {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}}

Like his fellows, The Arisen would be deified by subsequent generations of Cybertronians. He in particular would go onto to be revered as the "true [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]" and was foretold to lead Cybertron's defence during [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s second coming. {{storylink|Unicron issue 1|Unicron #1}}

In the present day, upon meeting [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]], the [[Mistress of Flame]] of Caminus came to believe that he was The Arisen. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}} [[Pyra Magna]] and her [[Torchbearer]]s considered this sacrilege, and departed from the Mistress's service for it. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} Naturally, Optimus did not believe it himself either, but he unwittingly lent credence to the Mistress's beliefs when he annexed [[Earth]] into the [[Council of Worlds]], and raised [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]] from beneath the planet's surface. This seemed to prove both that Earth was one of the Thirteen Primes' colonies, and that, thanks to his ability to command its [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]], Optimus's divine identity was also true. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}} Optimus would not even countenance the notion, but began to exploit the religious faith that Caminus and the other colonies placed in him in order to accomplish good deeds on Earth. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 4: Dance Among the Shadows|Dance Among the Shadows}}

When [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]] returned to Cybertron, Optimus Prime invited him down to the surface for a rational discussion. Onyx agreed, declaring the state of Cybertron as Optimus's responsibility, for the younger Prime ''was'' The Arisen. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of the Primes}}

During the conversation with Onyx, he referred to Optimus as the Arisen, before Optimus requested to simply be referred to by his name, a request that Onyx acquiesced to. When [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] tried to take over the discussion, the Mistress came to Optimus' defence, reiterating her belief that he was the Arisen. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}}
{{--}}

==Notes==
*The IDW continuity's depiction of the Thirteen is based virtually entirely on the [[Aligned continuity family]] versions of the characters. There, the thirteenth Prime is [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], who sacrificed himself and was reincarnated into the present-day incarnation of the character. Although Shockwave and the Mistress of Flame seemed convinced of Optimus' identity as the Arisen, whether he went through the same history as his Aligned counterpart remains to be seen...

Magaroja: /* Regenesis/Thirteen Primes */

Even though my favorite color is red, I don't like how my red name clashes with the others, so this page is here.

Also, I like Transformers (duh), I like reading TFWiki, and I hope to be able to contribute more as time allows.

==Animated Screamer Clones==

Amusing idea inspired by talk on Dirge (Animated) talk page:

I can't figure lying among the 7 deadly, and no amount of thinking about it makes it work with Gluttony :/ Sorry [[Ramjet (Animated) | Ramjet]].

==Regenesis/Thirteen Primes==

Either The Crucible or one of the adjacent stories states that Shockwave sent (all?) the Regenesis ores to the planets where the Enigma of Combination and the remaining tribal leaders ended up going. We don't know how he chose the location for one of them, since apparently Alpha Trion never left Cybertron until the events of Hello Cruel World. One possibility; he DID, and settled on a planet sometime between Primacy and the start of Regenesis. Shockwave sent the ore there, and sometime later Trion returned to Cybertron to retrieve Metroplex. I'm going to say that it's Ore-7, because 'Plex ends up with it in his thumb. Maybe he recovered the missile and stored it somewhere unsecure until he was attacked by the Ammonites, resulting in the Thumb Quest.

HAHAHA just kidding Barber spilled many of the beans already. Stop reading if you're not caught up on OP or Unicron.

Known ores:
*''Ore-1 (Time): LV-117 - ?''
*''Ore-2 (Death): Gorlam Prime - ? and the Necrotitan''
*Ore-4 (Gravity): Caminus - Solus Prime and Caminus
*''Ore-6 (Cold): Arduria - ?''
*''Ore-7 (Change): ? - ?''
*''Ore-8 (Destruction): Tsiehshi - Megatronus and ?''
*''Ore-9 (Space): Velocitron - ? and Navitas''
*''Ore-10 (Deception/Mind): ? - ?''
*Ore-12 ("Protection"): Elonia - Prima and Emissary
*Ore-13 (Power): Earth - The Arisen/Optimus Prime and Metrotitan
*Ore-14 (Regeneration): Cybertron - None.

Known planets and Primes/Titans
*Ore-??: Eukaris - Onyx Prime and Chela
*Ore-??: Prion - Micronus and Prion
*Ore-??: Antilla/Unicron - Alpha Trion and ?? (I think Metroplex)

Unknown ores and planets
*Ore-??: ?? - The Liege Maximo and Vigilem
*Ore-??: ?? - Vector Prime (and possibly Tempo)
*Ore-??: ?? - Alchemist Prime and ?
*Ore-??: ?? - Amalgamous Prime and ?
*Ore-??: ?? - Quintus Prime and ?

Unknown ores and Prime
*Ore-??: Devisiun - ? (though maybe Nexus Prime)

There's a lot left unpaired, but at this point it probably won't matter. I will say, however, that Shockwave may have sent The Liege Maximo's ore to some unrelated planet based on stories he heard that were seeded by Onyxwave.

Magaroja: /* Regenesis/Thirteen Primes */

Even though my favorite color is red, I don't like how my red name clashes with the others, so this page is here.

Also, I like Transformers (duh), I like reading TFWiki, and I hope to be able to contribute more as time allows.

==Animated Screamer Clones==

Amusing idea inspired by talk on Dirge (Animated) talk page:

I can't figure lying among the 7 deadly, and no amount of thinking about it makes it work with Gluttony :/ Sorry [[Ramjet (Animated) | Ramjet]].

==Regenesis/Thirteen Primes==

Either The Crucible or one of the adjacent stories states that Shockwave sent (all?) the Regenesis ores to the planets where the Enigma of Combination and the remaining tribal leaders ended up going. We don't know how he chose the location for one of them, since apparently Alpha Trion never left Cybertron until the events of Hello Cruel World. One possibility; he DID, and settled on a planet sometime between Primacy and the start of Regenesis. Shockwave sent the ore there, and sometime later Trion returned to Cybertron to retrieve Metroplex. I'm going to say that it's Ore-7, because 'Plex ends up with it in his thumb. Maybe he recovered the missile and stored it somewhere unsecure until he was attacked by the Ammonites, resulting in the Thumb Quest.

HAHAHA just kidding Barber spilled many of the beans already. Stop reading if you're not caught up on OP or Unicron.

Known ores:
*''Ore-1 (Time): LV-117 - ?''
*''Ore-2 (Death): Gorlam Prime - ? and the Necrotitan''
*Ore-4 (Gravity): Caminus - Solus Prime and Caminus
*''Ore-6 (Cold): Arduria - ?''
*''Ore-7 (Change): ? - ?''
*''Ore-8 (Destruction): Tsiehshi - Megatronus and ?''
*''Ore-9 (Space): Velocitron - ? and Navitas''
*''Ore-10 (Deception/Mind): ? - ?''
*Ore-12 ("Protection"): Elonia - Prima and Emissary
*Ore-13 (Power): Earth - The Arisen/Optimus Prime and Metrotitan
*Ore-14 (Regeneration): Cybertron - None.

Known planets and Primes/Titans
*Ore-??: Eukaris - Onyx Prime and Chela
*Ore-??: Prion - Micronus and Prion
*Ore-??: Antilla/Unicron - Alpha Trion and ?? (I think Metroplex)

Unknown ores and planets
*Ore-??: ?? - The Liege Maximo and Vigilem
*Ore-??: ?? - Vector Prime (and possibly Tempo)
*Ore-??: ?? - Alchemist Prime and ?
*Ore-??: ?? - Amalgamous Prime and ?
*Ore-??: ?? - Quintus Prime and ?

Unknown ores and Prime
*Ore-??: Devisiun - ? (though maybe Nexus Prime)

There's a lot left unpaired, but at this point it probably won't matter.

'''Starscream orchestrates a Decepticon retaliation against Unicron, while Bumblebee goes to Omega Supreme for answers about the planet-eater's origins.'''

==Synopsis==
Disparaging all those leaders who have come before him, [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]] explains to the assembled populace of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and the survivors of the destroyed colonies his plan to eliminate [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. Starscream has sent [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] out into the universe to round up the many scattered cells of surviving [[Decepticon]]s who never returned to Cybertron after the war ended. Between them, these Decepticons form a vast communications network that allows them to track down Unicron's location and intercept it. Now, this united "[[Decepticon Vengeance Division]]" surrounds the monster planet with a [[stasis web]] that prevents it from teleporting away...

Still dealing with the loss of [[Caminus]], [[Aileron]] finds no comfort in [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]]'s stoic assurance that they will be able to get through the threat of Unicron. Before the pair can argue their feelings out, [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]] apologetically interrupts to question Arcee; the sight of the [[Guardian robot|Omega Sentinel]] they found inside Unicron clearly unnerved her, and he wants to know why. Aileron is ready to defend Arcee's honor, but Arcee confesses the secret reason: long ago, she fought alongside the Sentinels during the first disastrous attempts at Cybertronian expansion to other worlds. She assumes one of the Sentinels must have found Unicron, long ago, and suspects it could have been sent by [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]]. Since they obviously can't trust anything Shockwave would tell them, Bumblebee heads off to see the only other 'bot who might have the answer, but when Aileron tries to tag along, 'Bee is reluctant to let her. Aileron explains that she needs something to ''do'' in this time of crisis, an urge Bumblebee himself is very familiar with, and agrees to let her join him as he visits the hangar containing the comatose [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. Of course, since the giant [[Autobot]] has been offline for years, there's no way 'Bee can actually ''talk'' with Omega; he is just here to scope out the situation, hoping perhaps [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]] can be called upon to read Omega's mind. That becomes unnecessary, however, when 'Bee rests his hand upon Omega's forehead, and a crackle of dark energy overcomes the little 'bot, darkening his eyes...

The [[Torchbearer]]s watch from afar as [[Pyra Magna]] silently looks out over the horizon, still clutching the deceased [[Mistress of Flame]]'s forgehammer. Pyra thinks the gift of the hammer was one last parting jab from the Mistress, to remind her of what the Mistress believed she should be; bitterly, Pyra stabs the hammer's shaft into the ground, and leaves it standing here as she walks away, angrily certain that she could never forget the Mistress, even if she wanted to.

Starscream joins [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] and the rest of the [[Council of Worlds]] in their war room, though he is far from welcomed by his old political partners. Starscream assures them he's not who he used to be, revealing Shockwave's plan to build a new Decepticon empire after letting Unicron eat Cybertron, and how he has no desire to go along with it. [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] proposes adding the rest of the Cybertronian fleet to the Decepticon armada for the attack on Unicron, but Starscream insists they can do it alone, while Optimus remains confident in his belief that Starscream intends to betray them all. The argument is interrupted by a transmission from [[G Nebula 89]], which turns out to be from the starship ''[[Sabre]]'' captained by the long-absent [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], who was sent to search for [[Liege Maximo]] months ago. Maximo's reappearance on Cybertron had led all to assume the ''Sabre'' was lost, but it turns out they had a run-in with the [[Maximal]]s and sustained damage to their comms which has only just now been repaired. And none too soon, because the ''Sabre'' has just run across the Decepticon fleet as it begins its attack on Unicron!

Somehow merging minds with Omega Supreme, Bumblebee is granted a glimpse into the distant past, where Unicron's origins are hinted at. Long ago, on a distant, unknown world consumed by war, an alien scientist created a doomsday device that would end the conflict by ending all life. The energies released by this device tore across the cosmos, causing mutations in other races, sweeping across the world of [[Prysmos]], giving birth to the [[Dire Wraith]]s... and obliterating the war-torn world's star system, leaving only a black star, orbited by the now-dead world.

Chromia and her crew watch in awe as the Decepticon fleet unleashes unspeakable mounts of firepower against Unicron, to no apparent avail. Bursting through the conflagration, the Maximal army comes flying up from Unicron's surface, the sight of which is enough for Chromia to call retreat. But the crew of the ''Sabre'' are not the only ones departing the scene; Unicron too warps away, the stars once again winking out in his wake. As the Maximals close on the fleet, the Decepticons think they're in for a fight, but all is not as it seems; Bludgeon reveals that Unicron is his true master, and welcomes the Maximals aboard his ship! There, the [[Eukaris|Eukarian]]-looking Transformers shed their beast-skins to reveal their true forms—spiked devil-robots cast in the image of their progenitor Liege Maximo—as Bludgeon declares that they shall be the final evolution of the Decepticons!

His knowledge imparted, Omega Supreme dies, leaving Aileron to rouse Bumblebee from his trance. The pair race outside in respond to the sounds of chaos, and stare into the sky to see that Unicron has arrived, and has transformed into a titantic robot form that now looms over Cybertron. But Bumblebee has learned what Unicron ''is''... and knows that the only way to stop it is for all the Transformers to ''die!''

"Starscream was '''right''' about me. I pretty much '''never''' know what I'm doing."
:—'''Bumblebee'''

"You didn't know when to stop talking about me, Mistress. You claimed I abandoned the '''Way of Flame'''... but I '''never''' relinquished my duty to Caminus '''or''' her people. I simply refused to serve the Primes' '''hypocrisy'''—or '''yours.''' Did you give me the '''forgehammer''' to remind me of what you thought I should be? To hammer my '''spark''' down a bit? Well, you didn't '''need''' to, Mistress. I will '''never''' forget you... not matter '''how''' hard I try."
:—'''Pyra Magna''' eulogizes the Mistress of Flame

''"The '''star system''' gone... the heart of the storm '''remained'''... the ghosts '''fled'''... no... not ghosts... '''Wraiths'''... spread '''far away'''... power '''coalesced'''... a '''lone planet'''... orbiting a '''black star'''... lifeless... alone... Unicron."''
:—'''Bumblebee''' has a vision

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*Windblade still believes Bludgeon is dead following the events of ''[[The Transformers: Salvation|Salvation]]'', but we learned he was still alive back in [[The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)|issue #13]]. Starscream must have sent him off into space somewhere between [[The Dead Come Home, Part 2 (of 2)|issue #14]] and his subsequent loss of power in the [[The Chosen One|2017 ''Till All Are One'' annual]].
*Arcee's history with the Omega Sentinels as part of Cybertron's attempted expansion was detailed in [[The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|''Optimus Prime'' #18]].
*As we noted last issue, Omega Supreme has been offline since sustaining severe injuries in [[The End of the Beginning of the World|''Robots in Disguise'' #11]].
*Chromia left Cybertron to pursuit Liege Maximo in [[Heavy|''Till All Are One'' #9]]. Her fate, and that of her team, has been a hanging question until now, what with Liege's reappearance in ''Optimus Prime'' #15, and Windblade's own inquiry about what happened to them in #16 going unanswered. Turns out they were okay, folks.
*It's not entirely clear from the visuals, but it ''appears'' that the energies released by the alien doomsday weapon were responsible for the destruction of Prysmos, an event which, per [[Schismatic|''Transformers vs. Visionaries'' #1]], the former inhabitants of the planet believe was caused by the de-alignment of its three suns. This makes the narration a little confusing, however, as it implies that the magicks of Prysmos were ''created'' by Unicron's birth.
*The [[Dire Wraith]]s were established to hail from the [[Dark Nebula]] in [[Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again!|''More than Meets the Eye: Revolution'']]. Though the presence of a "black star," left by the activation of the alien device, might make it seem that this region of space ''is'' the Nebula, [[Shining Armor issue 1|''Rom vs. Transformers'' #1]] established that the [[Space Knight]]s destroyed what was considered to be the {{i|Dire Wraith homeworld}} centuries ago. The Wraiths don't contest this ({{i|Long Roads to Ruin, Part 4|''ROM'' #14}} revealed they infiltrated Earth specifically to transform it into a new home), indicating that the world the Knights destroyed was merely the planet to which the Wraiths migrated following their creation.
*The visual of a "dead world" orbiting a "black star" has been a component of the Onyx Prime/Unicron mytharc since 2015's [[Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|''Transformers'' #47]]. We still don't have the full picture, but Unicron was shown orbiting a black hole in his debut in [[First Strike issue 6|''First Strike'' #6]], and the [[Ghost Stories|2017 ''Transformers'' annual]] would show that the planet [[Antilla]], home of Shockwave/Onyx Prime following the end of the first Cybertronian Civil War, did the same...
*Bludgeon spoke of the approach of a "master" back in issue #14; the most logical choice at the time was that he was referring to the impending arrival of Onyx Prime (especially since Onyx later turned out to be Shockwave, who actually used to ''be'' Bludgeon's master), but it turns out that, like we speculated, he was indeed referring to Unicron!

===Transformers references===
*The three Decepticons we see Bludgeon recruit are the [[Demolition Team]], a squad of [[Mini-Con]]s released as part of the 2006 ''[[Transformers: Classics]]'' toyline. Unsurprisingly, they're not Mini-Cons here!
*In addition to the [[Worldsweeper]]s, which should be familiar to any longtime IDW readers, other types of ship seen in the Decepticon Vengeance Division fleet include [[Warworld]]s (originally from the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic]], but which have also shown up in IDW continuity), and multiple ships cast in the image of the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]], and the [[Revenge (G1)|''Revenge'']] from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.
*Bumblebee and Aileron walk past ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]] on page 6.
*Chromia's ship is named the ''[[Sabre]]'', after the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian]] spacecraft from the Marvel ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|Generation 2]]'' comics.
*G Nebula 89 is a region of space featured in the [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|''Super-God Masterforce'']] and [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (cartoon)|''Victory'']] cartoons.
*The panels illustrating Unicron's transformation are "shot"-for-shot matches to elements of his transformation sequence from the 1986 movie.

===Other franchise references===
*The airships seen above Prysmos are scaled-up and redesigned versions of the ''Visionaries'' [http://www.thevisionaries.net/characters/sky-claw/sky-claw/18 Sky Claw] chariot.

===Real-world references===
*The title of this issue, "Stranger Eons," is a reference to a quote from the {{w|H. P. Lovecraft}} horror story ''{{w|The Nameless City}}'': "That is not dead which can eternal lie/And with strange aeons, even death may die." The concept of "death dying" goes hand-in-hand with Bludgeon's line that, in killing Unicron, the Decepticons "will kill death."

===Errors===
*Should Firestar be on the cover of this issue? The theme of the scene is Starscream and the council; has Firestar been drawn in place of actual council member Moonracer? Firestar isn't in the issue itself!
*On page 2, Sledge calls Wideload "Sledge".

===Deathlist===
*Omega Supreme; finally succumbs to his injuries after mind-melding with Bumblebee

===Other trivia===
*This issue also includes a four-page ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' back-up strip, "[[Last Stand (G.I. Joe)|Last Stand]]," a short coda for the unfinished ''[[Scarlett's Strike Force]]'' that seems to be set a little further into the future than the events of the main story this issue, as it shows the Maximals attacking [[Earth]]. Since we covered that series on this wiki, it's got its own article here.
*Other backmatter includes the first installment in a series of interviews with creators from IDW's past. This issue, it's the IDW's second-ever writer ''Transformers'' [[Nick Roche]] and ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron]]'' scribe [[Shane McCarthy]].

==Quotes==
"Starscream was '''right''' about me. I pretty much '''never''' know what I'm doing."
:—'''Bumblebee'''

"You didn't know when to stop talking about me, Mistress. You claimed I abandoned the '''Way of Flame'''... but I '''never''' relinquished my duty to Caminus '''or''' her people. I simply refused to serve the Primes' '''hypocrisy'''—or '''yours.''' Did you give me the '''forgehammer''' to remind me of what you thought I should be? To hammer my '''spark''' down a bit? Well, you didn't '''need''' to, Mistress. I will '''never''' forget you... not matter '''how''' hard I try."
:—'''Pyra Magna''' eulogizes the Mistress of Flame

''"The '''star system''' gone... the heart of the storm '''remained'''... the ghosts '''fled'''... no... not ghosts... '''Wraiths'''... spread '''far away'''... power '''coalesced'''... a '''lone planet'''... orbiting a '''black star'''... lifeless... alone... Unicron."''
:—'''Bumblebee''' has a vision

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*Windblade still believes Bludgeon is dead following the events of ''[[The Transformers: Salvation|Salvation]]'', but we learned he was still alive back in [[The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)|issue #13]]. Starscream must have sent him off into space somewhere between [[The Dead Come Home, Part 2 (of 2)|issue #14]] and his subsequent loss of power in the [[The Chosen One|2017 ''Till All Are One'' annual]].
*Arcee's history with the Omega Sentinels as part of Cybertron's attempted expansion was detailed in [[The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|''Optimus Prime'' #18]].
*As we noted last issue, Omega Supreme has been offline since sustaining severe injuries in [[The End of the Beginning of the World|''Robots in Disguise'' #11]].
*Chromia left Cybertron to pursuit Liege Maximo in [[Heavy|''Till All Are One'' #9]]. Her fate, and that of her team, has been a hanging question until now, what with Liege's reappearance in ''Optimus Prime'' #15, and Windblade's own inquiry about what happened to them in #16 going unanswered. Turns out they were okay, folks.
*It's not entirely clear from the visuals, but it ''appears'' that the energies released by the alien doomsday weapon were responsible for the destruction of Prysmos, an event which, per [[Schismatic|''Transformers vs. Visionaries'' #1]], the former inhabitants of the planet believe was caused by the de-alignment of its three suns. This makes the narration a little confusing, however, as it implies that the magicks of Prysmos were ''created'' by Unicron's birth.
*The [[Dire Wraith]]s were established to hail from the [[Dark Nebula]] in [[Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again!|''More than Meets the Eye: Revolution'']]. Though the presence of a "black star," left by the activation of the alien device, might make it seem that this region of space ''is'' the Nebula, [[Shining Armor issue 1|''Rom vs. Transformers'' #1]] established that the [[Space Knight]]s destroyed what was considered to be the {{i|Dire Wraith homeworld}} centuries ago. The Wraiths don't contest this ({{i|Long Roads to Ruin, Part 4|''ROM'' #14}} revealed they infiltrated Earth specifically to transform it into a new home), indicating that the world the Knights destroyed was merely the planet to which the Wraiths migrated following their creation.
*The visual of a "dead world" orbiting a "black star" has been a component of the Onyx Prime/Unicron mytharc since 2015's [[Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|''Transformers'' #47]]. We still don't have the full picture, but Unicron was shown orbiting a black hole in his debut in [[First Strike issue 6|''First Strike'' #6]], and the [[Ghost Stories|2017 ''Transformers'' annual]] would show that the planet [[Antilla]], home of Shockwave/Onyx Prime following the end of the first Cybertronian Civil War, did the same...
*Bludgeon spoke of the approach of a "master" back in issue #14; the most logical choice at the time was that he was referring to the impending arrival of Onyx Prime (especially since Onyx later turned out to be Shockwave, who actually used to ''be'' Bludgeon's master), but it turns out that, like we speculated, he was indeed referring to Unicron!

===Transformers references===
*The three Decepticons we see Bludgeon recruit are the [[Demolition Team]], a squad of [[Mini-Con]]s released as part of the 2006 ''[[Transformers: Classics]]'' toyline. Unsurprisingly, they're not Mini-Cons here!
*In addition to the [[Worldsweeper]]s, which should be familiar to any longtime IDW readers, other types of ship seen in the Decepticon Vengeance Division fleet include [[Warworld]]s (originally from the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic]], but which have also shown up in IDW continuity), and multiple ships cast in the image of the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]], and the [[Revenge (G1)|''Revenge'']] from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.
*Bumblebee and Aileron walk past ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]] on page 6.
*Chromia's ship is named the ''[[Sabre]]'', after the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian]] spacecraft from the Marvel ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|Generation 2]]'' comics.
*G Nebula 89 is a region of space featured in the [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|''Super-God Masterforce'']] and [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (cartoon)|''Victory'']] cartoons.
*The panels illustrating Unicron's transformation are "shot"-for-shot matches to his transformation sequence from the 1986 movie.

===Other franchise references===
*The airships seen above Prysmos are scaled-up and redesigned versions of the ''Visionaries'' [http://www.thevisionaries.net/characters/sky-claw/sky-claw/18 Sky Claw] chariot.

===Real-world references===
*The title of this issue, "Stranger Eons," is a reference to a quote from the {{w|H. P. Lovecraft}} horror story ''{{w|The Nameless City}}'': "That is not dead which can eternal lie/And with strange aeons, even death may die." The concept of "death dying" goes hand-in-hand with Bludgeon's line that, in killing Unicron, the Decepticons "will kill death."

===Errors===
*Should Firestar be on the cover of this issue? The theme of the scene is Starscream and the council; has Firestar been drawn in place of actual council member Moonracer? Firestar isn't in the issue itself!
*On page 2, Sledge calls Wideload "Sledge".

===Deathlist===
*Omega Supreme; finally succumbs to his injuries after mind-melding with Bumblebee

===Other trivia===
*This issue also includes a four-page ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' back-up strip, "[[Last Stand (G.I. Joe)|Last Stand]]," a short coda for the unfinished ''[[Scarlett's Strike Force]]'' that seems to be set a little further into the future than the events of the main story this issue, as it shows the Maximals attacking [[Earth]]. Since we covered that series on this wiki, it's got its own article here.
*Other backmatter includes the first installment in a series of interviews with creators from IDW's past. This issue, it's the IDW's second-ever writer ''Transformers'' [[Nick Roche]] and ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron]]'' scribe [[Shane McCarthy]].
