Magnoburst: /* Catchphrase */

I've noticed that all the links that read "Optimus Prime (RID)" don't direct here because of the uppercase "I". Is it worth a redirect from "(RID)" or should we just fix the uppercase "I" every time we see them? --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 20:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Much as I dig the Universe incarnation coloration... I think we should probably use an "original" color picture. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 01:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

==Universe RiD mini-Prime?==
I'm fuzzy on the details... but is the Basic-sized Wal*Mart RiD Prime considered a separate character? He was in the OTFCC 04 script reading as a specifically alt-universe version, yes? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 02:34, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
: Yeah, he was. All the little Spychanger guys were from a distinct universe. Everyone's small there. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 13:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

== Costco exclusive ==

Doesn't his bio seem to indicate that he's AEC Prime?
: Yeah, but then that toy was used in fiction as RiD Prime crossed over into the UT universe. He's a fun one. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 13:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

== Minicon ports? ==

Does this mean that Mini-cons were in development as a concept ''before'' Armada?
:No. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 16:00, 22 March 2009 (EDT)

Prime is in the "Repurposed toys" category. Is that because the yellow spy changer was repurposed? If so, the category can be removed since we don't put the toys that were repurposed from in the category. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 00:36, 9 June 2010 (EDT)

== Organization ==

Holy shit, there has to be a better way to organize this. There's headings full of stuff from other pieces of fiction, discreet incarnations of characters collected under one heading... and shouldn't the version from Universe who later went on to star in the Fun Pub comics have his information in "3H" and "Fun Pub" sections under the cartoon continuity header, since he comes from a post-cartoon setting? Different stream, sure, but we list plenty of different streams under cartoon headers across the wiki. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 16:50, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
:Eh, I'm not sure how we can get around Universe Optimus being one definite specific guy throughout those stories. Nobody else's going to play with that version but the fan club (3H or FunPub), so I also don't see the point in splitting up his story across sections. No opinion on whether he should be under cartoon continuity. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 17:00, 18 August 2015 (EDT)

However this gets reorganzied, I absolutely think a mention of the female version needs to be put back in the opening section. Because seriously, a canonically female Optimus Prime is absolutely noteworthy, no matter how minor and retconned her appearance was. Honestly I'm not sure she shouldn't still have an article of her own. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 17:10, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
:I'm ''trying'' to hammer this into some kind of shape, and y'know, I'm leaning toward the idea that she should maybe have a "Galvatron II" style article linked via a suite, if only because it would make this stuff ''easier to read''. As it stands, her being included here results in header with one of those ''obnoxious'' (2) disambigs after it, which ''then'' has to include something from the ''Armada'' comics, which should by all logical reason be in a small section of its own, next to her Voice Actor Drama role, under a larger header referring to this discreet incarnation of the character. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]])

===Image===
How is the image representative of the Spy Changer guy? Especially considering, y'know, it's a mode the toy doesn't have. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 21:04, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

:It's the yellow Optimus Prime. Who got a profile in the 3H TFMag describing things that happened to him which, ''demonstrably'' didn't happen to the RiD Prime who showed up in the TFU and Cybertron comics.
:Assuming that 3H profile of the yellow not-from-TFU-comics TFU RiD Optimus Prime represents the same character as the yellow not-the-same-guy-from-the-TFU-comics TFU RiD Optimus Prime from the script reading is pretty safe, right? The smaller robot pic is just non-ideal because his only fictional appearance was in super robot mode.
:(The Sams Club toy should probably be moved to this article too, since the TFU Prime's was established as a separate character.)-[[User:Derik|Derik]] 21:55, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
::This is not "yellow Optimus Prime." This is specifically the Spychanger yellow Optimus Prime who is specifically from a universe where all Transformers are Spychanger-sized. He is not RiD Optimus Prime. Please understand this. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 22:04, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

::It's possible that there are as many as four different RID Prime-based characters in the small amount of TFU fiction we actually got. There is AN Omega Prime already in the Cauldron when Primal busts in to do some harrowing. Another Omega Prime, potentially a different one, is summoned when Depthcharge refuses to do the job Primal had him resurrected for. We never see this Omega Prime do anything, but I'm inclined to believe it's the one later seen in the Club comics. These three Omega Primes are ALL colored as the original toys, unfortunately, but it sounds from the 3H profile as though the original prison-break Omega Prime should probably have been colored with the appropriate yellow parts, while the Oracle-summoned Omega Prime should be in the "Cybertron" colors. Then, of course, there's the Spy Changer, who shows up in the script reading in non-Cauldron-related circumstances and is tiny. -[[User:LV|LV]] 22:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Is he actually tiny in-universe? (There were only two TFU RiD Oppy toys and they're both yellow. I'm inclined to believe they're the same character unless there's a significant reason to believe otherwise.) -22:13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
::::The script explicitly calls him "Optimus Prime (Micro)". And then RID Prowl says he "barely comes up to [Prowl's] power pod". Also, he and Prowl (Micro) talk about how weird it is that the RID guys keep shouting their attack names. -[[User:LV|LV]] 22:19, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

::::Creating even more alternate universes for the sake of creating more alternate universes just seems ridiculously and unnecessary complicated and confusing.

===Separation or merge===

Is the fact that this RID Optimus Prime is female sufficient to warrant her own individual page? If so, then we should also make an individual page for the female Scourge. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 10:43, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
:I think we should take this as similar to the Armada Beast Wars; Universe Optimus Prime has actually done things in fiction, whereas AVP Scourge... hasn't. I think Scourge will be fine with a note on the page saying "In this micro-continuity, Scourge was female", even if we keep Universe Optimus separate. [[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 10:55, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
::This Optimus Prime had turned up in some previous fiction (the play at OTFCC) and Scourge is just a line on AVP, so you're right that we ''technically'' should but I think we should do what we did with the Aurex Beast Wars: keep everything on the BW pages because they're not quite different enough. -- [[User:Charles RB|Charles RB]] 16:06, 18 August 2015 (GMT)
:::Several characters are alternately male or female depending on continuity. They aren't split based on that. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 11:36, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
::::Hrm. I guess. This feels different to me, though; probably because all other gender-switch characters are "same events, different gender", rather than "same general universe, different events, different gender". I'd be happier keeping this on its own page, but I can see the argument for merging, so... I guess? --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 11:45, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
:::::Ultimately, it boils down to "is this a version of RID Optimus Prime?" And considering how we now don't consider differing species enough to split pages... [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 12:10, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
::::::This might be related. We don't keep separate pages for all the ''Animated'' characters who were originally male before being given proper characterizations as females, which were explained as the result of time travelers altering history.

:::::::I missed that, which Animated characters are those? They're really listed as both genders on their pages? -- [[User:Charles RB|Charles RB]] 18:07, 18 August 2015 (GMT)
::::::::[[Sunstreaker (Animated)|Sunstreaker]], for one. Ugh. I guess I see your point. I suppose we should merge, even if we'll lose that excellent opening section. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 13:17, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
::::::::(Though if we do merge, would having the image caption as some variant of "Wait a minute... there's something bothering me about this place. I know! This lesbian bar doesn't have a fire exit! Enjoy your death trap, ladies." be workable?) --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 13:18, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
:::::::::If Sunstreaker's ''it'' and never had any fiction, is that really a precedent? (If we do merge though, good call for saving th intro, Riptide!) --[[User:Charles RB|Charles RB]] ([[User talk:Charles RB|talk]]) 18:21, 18 August 2015 (GMT)
::::::::::In my opinion, gender isn't a big enough factor to keep the pages separated. Alternate universe versions of characters that are a different gender is nothing new, even though beforehand it was mostly due to differences Japanese/American marketing decisions. If [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] got some new fiction exclusive to Japan, and was treated as a male character in it, I think it's safe to say we'd list it on her main page. Heck, doesn't every universe where Transformers officially have ''no'' gender listed on the same page as incarnations from universes where they do have genders count towards this argument? --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] ([[User talk:Ascendron|talk]]) 13:50, 18 August 2015 (EDT)

== Alt mode? ==
Hi everyone! I'd like to open a (very friendly and loving!) discussion about Fire Convoy/RiD Prime's alt mode. The belief in some fan circles is that he turns into a late-90s Hino fire truck of some kind, likely the Aerial/Profia (https://www.globalpartnersjp.com/japanese-used-hino-profia-truck_16385.html). An ancient TFW2005 thread (https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/someone-please-post-a-pic-link-of-the-real-life-rid-op-prime-japanese-firetruck.92208/) has a few images of a truck closer in color to Fire Convoy, but there's no specific information on the model (and the model name 'Brandlier' gets thrown around a lot, although any search for that term tends to largely bring up TF-related results, so it's hard to say for sure). This picture of a Hino ladder truck in Shinjuku is closer to Fire Convoy's color scheme, although no model is given: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2008-09-10-shinjuku-24CH1815.JPG

While he does indeed have the split window of the Fuso, that's likely more due to the way he transforms, requiring the window to split to form his legs. Additionally, I think it's reasonable to think that, since the other three major new Autobot/Cybertron designs for this series were all spitting images of real-world vehicles (to the point where Dodge required the Viper logo to appear on RiD Side Burn's packaging), Convoy/Prime would be based upon an existing vehicle that would probably be pretty familiar to fans in Japan. (this is literally the first thing I've ever contributed to a Wiki so I apologize if I've done it wrong! I don't know what it says about me that I was this motivated to discuss what truck Fire Convoy turns into.) --[[User:Flash1087|Flash1087]] 10:50, 20 Jan 2023 (UTC)

==Catchphrase==
I know '''BURNING SPRIT''' is more accurate to his Japanese dialogue but I really like '''BURNING JUSTICE'''. could we change it back on a couple captions? particularly the OG figure, The spychanger, and the Haslab.

Xenophobic?--[[User:Magnoburst|Magnoburst]] ([[User talk:Magnoburst|talk]]) 11:43, 12 February 2024 (EST)
: "Burning justice" is a nonsense phrase created to make fun of common anime tropes in an era where the fandom was much more close-minded to Japanese media and treated it as inherently inferior to the western output. That's not the vibe we want to perpetuate; it's the whole reason the page was overhauled in the first place. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]])
bad take but ok.--[[User:Magnoburst|Magnoburst]] ([[User talk:Magnoburst|talk]]) 11:57, 12 February 2024 (EST)

== Alt mode? ==
Hi everyone! I'd like to open a (very friendly and loving!) discussion about Fire Convoy/RiD Prime's alt mode. The belief in some fan circles is that he turns into a late-90s Hino fire truck of some kind, likely the Aerial/Profia (https://www.globalpartnersjp.com/japanese-used-hino-profia-truck_16385.html). An ancient TFW2005 thread (https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/someone-please-post-a-pic-link-of-the-real-life-rid-op-prime-japanese-firetruck.92208/) has a few images of a truck closer in color to Fire Convoy, but there's no specific information on the model (and the model name 'Brandlier' gets thrown around a lot, although any search for that term tends to largely bring up TF-related results, so it's hard to say for sure). This picture of a Hino ladder truck in Shinjuku is closer to Fire Convoy's color scheme, although no model is given: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2008-09-10-shinjuku-24CH1815.JPG

While he does indeed have the split window of the Fuso, that's likely more due to the way he transforms, requiring the window to split to form his legs. Additionally, I think it's reasonable to think that, since the other three major new Autobot/Cybertron designs for this series were all spitting images of real-world vehicles (to the point where Dodge required the Viper logo to appear on RiD Side Burn's packaging), Convoy/Prime would be based upon an existing vehicle that would probably be pretty familiar to fans in Japan. (this is literally the first thing I've ever contributed to a Wiki so I apologize if I've done it wrong! I don't know what it says about me that I was this motivated to discuss what truck Fire Convoy turns into.) --[[User:Flash1087|Flash1087]] 10:50, 20 Jan 2023 (UTC)

== Organization ==

Holy shit, there has to be a better way to organize this. There's headings full of stuff from other pieces of fiction, discreet incarnations of characters collected under one heading... and shouldn't the version from Universe who later went on to star in the Fun Pub comics have his information in "3H" and "Fun Pub" sections under the cartoon continuity header, since he comes from a post-cartoon setting? Different stream, sure, but we list plenty of different streams under cartoon headers across the wiki. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 16:50, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
:Eh, I'm not sure how we can get around Universe Optimus being one definite specific guy throughout those stories. Nobody else's going to play with that version but the fan club (3H or FunPub), so I also don't see the point in splitting up his story across sections. No opinion on whether he should be under cartoon continuity. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 17:00, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
:I sense a McFeely'd article in the near future.... [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 17:03, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
However this gets reorganzied, I absolutely think a mention of the female version needs to be put back in the opening section. Because seriously, a canonically female Optimus Prime is absolutely noteworthy, no matter how minor and retconned her appearance was. Honestly I'm not sure she shouldn't still have an article of her own. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 17:10, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
:I'm ''trying'' to hammer this into some kind of shape, and y'know, I'm leaning toward the idea that she should maybe have a "Galvatron II" style article linked via a suite, if only because it would make this stuff ''easier to read''. As it stands, her being included here results in header with one of those ''obnoxious'' (2) disambigs after it, which ''then'' has to include something from the ''Armada'' comics, which should by all logical reason be in a small section of its own, next to her Voice Actor Drama role, under a larger header referring to this discreet incarnation of the character. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]])
::<nowiki>===Spy Changer continuity===, ====Dreamwave Armada comic====, ====3H comics (or Voice Actor Drama)====</nowiki>? With that being a subset of another header, we can avoid the (2), I guess. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 17:22, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
:::I really like the idea of the Galvatron II model for cases where someone is technically in the same continuity family but in practice is quite distinctive.

:It's the yellow Optimus Prime. Who got a profile in the 3H TFMag describing things that happened to him which, ''demonstrably'' didn't happen to the RiD Prime who showed up in the TFU and Cybertron comics.
:Assuming that 3H profile of the yellow not-from-TFU-comics TFU RiD Optimus Prime represents the same character as the yellow not-the-same-guy-from-the-TFU-comics TFU RiD Optimus Prime from the script reading is pretty safe, right?

Prime is in the "Repurposed toys" category. Is that because the yellow spy changer was repurposed? If so, the category can be removed since we don't put the toys that were repurposed from in the category. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 00:36, 9 June 2010 (EDT)

== Organization ==

Holy shit, there has to be a better way to organize this. There's headings full of stuff from other pieces of fiction, discreet incarnations of characters collected under one heading... and shouldn't the version from Universe who later went on to star in the Fun Pub comics have his information in "3H" and "Fun Pub" sections under the cartoon continuity header, since he comes from a post-cartoon setting? Different stream, sure, but we list plenty of different streams under cartoon headers across the wiki. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 16:50, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
:Eh, I'm not sure how we can get around Universe Optimus being one definite specific guy throughout those stories. Nobody else's going to play with that version but the fan club (3H or FunPub), so I also don't see the point in splitting up his story across sections. No opinion on whether he should be under cartoon continuity. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 17:00, 18 August 2015 (EDT)

However this gets reorganzied, I absolutely think a mention of the female version needs to be put back in the opening section. Because seriously, a canonically female Optimus Prime is absolutely noteworthy, no matter how minor and retconned her appearance was. Honestly I'm not sure she shouldn't still have an article of her own. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 17:10, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
:I'm ''trying'' to hammer this into some kind of shape, and y'know, I'm leaning toward the idea that she should maybe have a "Galvatron II" style article linked via a suite, if only because it would make this stuff ''easier to read''. As it stands, her being included here results in header with one of those ''obnoxious'' (2) disambigs after it, which ''then'' has to include something from the ''Armada'' comics, which should by all logical reason be in a small section of its own, next to her Voice Actor Drama role, under a larger header referring to this discreet incarnation of the character. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]])

:It's the yellow Optimus Prime. Who got a profile in the 3H TFMag describing things that happened to him which, ''demonstrably'' didn't happen to the RiD Prime who showed up in the TFU and Cybertron comics.
:Assuming that 3H profile of the yellow not-from-TFU-comics TFU RiD Optimus Prime represents the same character as the yellow not-the-same-guy-from-the-TFU-comics TFU RiD Optimus Prime from the script reading is pretty safe, right? The smaller robot pic is just non-ideal because his only fictional appearance was in super robot mode.

::It's possible that there are as many as four different RID Prime-based characters in the small amount of TFU fiction we actually got. There is AN Omega Prime already in the Cauldron when Primal busts in to do some harrowing. Another Omega Prime, potentially a different one, is summoned when Depthcharge refuses to do the job Primal had him resurrected for. We never see this Omega Prime do anything, but I'm inclined to believe it's the one later seen in the Club comics. These three Omega Primes are ALL colored as the original toys, unfortunately, but it sounds from the 3H profile as though the original prison-break Omega Prime should probably have been colored with the appropriate yellow parts, while the Oracle-summoned Omega Prime should be in the "Cybertron" colors. Then, of course, there's the Spy Changer, who shows up in the script reading in non-Cauldron-related circumstances and is tiny. -[[User:LV|LV]] 22:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

===Separation or merge===

Is the fact that this RID Optimus Prime is female sufficient to warrant her own individual page? If so, then we should also make an individual page for the female Scourge. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 10:43, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
:I think we should take this as similar to the Armada Beast Wars; Universe Optimus Prime has actually done things in fiction, whereas AVP Scourge... hasn't.

== Alt mode? ==
Hi everyone! I'd like to open a (very friendly and loving!) discussion about Fire Convoy/RiD Prime's alt mode. The belief in some fan circles is that he turns into a late-90s Hino fire truck of some kind, likely the Aerial/Profia (https://www.globalpartnersjp.com/japanese-used-hino-profia-truck_16385.html). An ancient TFW2005 thread (https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/someone-please-post-a-pic-link-of-the-real-life-rid-op-prime-japanese-firetruck.92208/) has a few images of a truck closer in color to Fire Convoy, but there's no specific information on the model (and the model name 'Brandlier' gets thrown around a lot, although any search for that term tends to largely bring up TF-related results, so it's hard to say for sure). This picture of a Hino ladder truck in Shinjuku is closer to Fire Convoy's color scheme, although no model is given: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2008-09-10-shinjuku-24CH1815.JPG

While he does indeed have the split window of the Fuso, that's likely more due to the way he transforms, requiring the window to split to form his legs. Additionally, I think it's reasonable to think that, since the other three major new Autobot/Cybertron designs for this series were all spitting images of real-world vehicles (to the point where Dodge required the Viper logo to appear on RiD Side Burn's packaging), Convoy/Prime would be based upon an existing vehicle that would probably be pretty familiar to fans in Japan. (this is literally the first thing I've ever contributed to a Wiki so I apologize if I've done it wrong! I don't know what it says about me that I was this motivated to discuss what truck Fire Convoy turns into.) --[[User:Flash1087|Flash1087]] 10:50, 20 Jan 2023 (UTC)

Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)

2024-01-11T13:58:06Z

Magnoburst: /* Ultra Class */

{{nav-cybertron}}
[[File:Cybertrontoy leader optimus prime.jpg|upright=2|thumb|Optimus Prime, an example of how complex these toys could get.]]

The final act of the "[[Unicron Trilogy continuity family|Unicron Trilogy]]", '''''Transformers: Cybertron''''' vastly expanded the scope of the ''Transformers'' universe, bringing in the theme of "[[Cybertronian colonies|lost colonies]]" with different styles, while still unifying the toyline under a central play-[[gimmick]], the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s.

{{TOCclear}}

==Overview==
[[File:Cyb-toy Override.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Speed Planet Override]]
After ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s rather muddled [[gimmick]]/theme presentation, Hasbro dialed it back for ''Cybertron'' by sticking with a single unifying play gimmick: the [[Cyber Key]]s. These large discs, with designs based on the planet of their origin, unlocked pop-out weapons and action features in each toy once plugged into the key slot. Any planet's key would work with any toy. With the spring-loaded gimmicks less complex than those in ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'', they freed up the designs to allow for more robot-mode posability.

Where ''Cybertron'' gets its diversity is in its aesthetics, through the different planets each Transformer could hail from. Each planet has its own theme, with the toy designs reflecting the culture of each world.

:*'''[[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]''' and '''[[Earth]]''' toys are the most traditional of the series, with future-tech-vehicle and close-to-real-life vehicles respectively, and more "traditional" proportions and detailing.
:*The '''[[Velocitron|Speed Planet]]''' toys are naturally all about the fastness. The vehicle modes are futuristic and fantastical, with transparent plastic tires and other accents. Even the bulkier vehicle modes at least look like they were built for raw horsepower. Colors are bright and clashing, the robot modes themselves streamlined. The Cyber Key gimmicks are typically tied to their swing-out blaster weapons.
:*The brutal '''[[Jungle Planet (colony)|Jungle Planet]]''' is full of robotic beasts, with deeply-complex, nigh-organic sculpting that brings to mind the [[Transmetal|Transmetal IIs]] of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' or the [[technorganic]] ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Maximal]] toys. Robot modes feature limbs made from beast-bits, clawed hands, and fanged mouths. Melee weapons rule the land, with most Cyber Key gimmicks focused on pop-out blades.
:*The '''[[Gigantion|Giant Planet]]''' is about heavy machinery. ''Very'' heavy machinery. Though few in number compared to the rest of the planets, they live up to their planet's name by being some of the largest toys in the line. These heavy construction (or ''de''struction) vehicles are bulky and industrial, plus each one has a tiny [[Mini-Con]] partner to operate a work station somewhere on each bot's vehicle or robot mode.
:*'''[[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]]''' bots are similarly few in number. Their only real unifying style is "futuristic danger". The vehicle modes are sleek and deadly-looking, robot modes vicious and pointy.

The tail-end of the line was again heavy on the [[redeco]]es (by then a practice that had become expected and largely accepted), but also brought micro-play back into the line. Mini-Con two-packs were released to bolster the ranks of the still-popular Mini-Con class. But the history-making addition to the ''Transformers'' franchise was in the [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] toys. These sub-Scout, simple and above all ''inexpensive'' toys were based on the larger toys of popular/major characters, giving kids the chance to own an Optimus Prime or Megatron they could keep in their pocket. From this point on, Legends-sized toys would continue on in some manner through every major ''Transformers'' toyline.

The ''Cybertron'' toyline was one of the first lines to create an ''almost'' perfect representation of robot mode [[scale]] between figures within the line. The previous two toylines in the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family|Unicron Trilogy]] had almost achieved similar results but a lot of the time characters in the cartoons would either be drawn or have their CG models resized into [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|exaggerated proportions]], creating a huge difference between the figures in-hand and the characters presented on-screen. It's likely feasible that the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|Cybertron]]'' cartoon copied the toyline's scale between characters rather than the other way around. This is further evident as a lot of the vehicles in the toyline are out of [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|scale]] [[Scattorshot (Cybertron)#Toys|with]] [[Mudflap (Cybertron)#Toys|one]] [[Lugnutz#Toys|another]], however the show ''usually'' fixed this issue by resizing vehicle animation models to fit a realistic scale. While most of the toyline scale is consistent with what is on-screen, the Giant Planet Natives and [[Primus]] are the main exceptions to this, as they were greatly exaggerated in size on-screen to further support the "giant" aspect of their race, and Primus is... well... obviously a [[Cybertron (planet)|planet]]. Supreme Class [[Starscream (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|Starscream]] can also be displayed with other figures in the line to create a fairly well-scaled representation of the [[Starscream (episode)|episode which inspired the toy]] or next to fellow Supreme Class figure, Primus, to imitate [[Titans|another scene]], much like ''Energon''{{'}}s [[Omega Supreme (Energon)#Toys|Omega]]/[[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|Optimus Supreme]] and [[Unicron]].

==Hasbro ''Cybertron'' toyline==
For Hasbro's line, every Cyber Key (packaged with every toy Scout Class or larger) has a short alphanumeric code printed on its back. These [[Cyber Key Codes]], when plugged into the official ''Cybertron'' website (now defunct), unlocked design sketches and extra biographical info on each toy.

==Hasbro European market-only releases==
{{anchor|Europe}}
As with ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' before it, the European ''Cybertron'' line was mostly just the US line outlined above. However, two sets of [[Micromaster]] [[combiner]] teams that were released as part of the [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'' toy line]] (which was never officially distributed as such in Europe) in the US, exclusive to [[KB Toys]], got released under the ''Cybertron'' banner, using a different assortment number (29514) than their own ''Universe'' counterparts as well as the earlier ''Energon''/''Universe'' figures (all of which were released under the assortment number 29460).

{{anchor|Japan}}{{anchor|Takara}}
==Takara ''Galaxy Force'' toyline==
[[File:TF-Galaxy-Force-Logo.png|left|300px]]
Premiering roughly half a year before ''Cybertron'' (as Hasbro's lines tended to run approximately 18 months while Takara stuck with 12 months), ''Galaxy Force'' would mostly feature slight alterations from the Hasbro versions. Some of the additions to the line, like the ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' retools (sold in Vs packs in Japan) would eventually make their way to the States.

Store-promo [[Mini-Con]] giveaways returned in a big way, with full teams devoted to some of the major characters in the line.

Presumably due to lackluster sales, the line ended even earlier than its projected twelve-month run, after only ''nine'' months. Several characters and redecos that appeared on the show were either never released in Japan at all, or were given a limited production run and/or only made available as exclusives: First, "Dark Ligerjack" (aka Nemesis Breaker), despite being initially assigned the ID number GD-14, was relegated to a Toys"R"Us Japan exclusive; then "Master Megatron" was given a "limited edition" release; the "Dark Crumplezone" redeco of "Landbullet" (named "Armbullet" in the anime), despite being initially assigned the ID number GD-15, was never officially released in Japan at all; Primus was released in an unaltered Hasbro deco (complete with a [[tampograph]]ed [[Cyber Key Codes|Cyber Key code]] that was only relevant for the Hasbro release) in special retro packaging marketed as part of the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' toy line]]; and "Blendar" (Quickmix) and "Moledive" (Menasor) were only released as [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive "[[USA Edition]]s", also in unaltered Hasbro decos in Hasbro packaging with additional stickers on the packaging, more than a year after the ''Galaxy Force'' line had run its course at retail.

==Notes==
* Fun fact: a large majority of figures in the ''Cybertron'' toyline have to have their heads rotated 180° degrees for transformation; whether it be absolutely necessary for clearance/design intent, or for cosmetic reasons (e.g. [[Thundercracker (Armada)#Cybertron|Thundercracker]], whose face gets exposed in vehicle mode whenever his [[Cyber Key]] [[gimmick]] is activated). Since the [[character model|cartoon models]] were heavily based on the toys, this would also be frequently shown in the [[stock footage]] transformation sequences.

Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)

Magnoburst: /* Ultra Class */ fixed the link to wing saber. it used to go to the energon figure.

The final act of the "[[Unicron Trilogy continuity family|Unicron Trilogy]]", '''''Transformers: Cybertron''''' vastly expanded the scope of the ''Transformers'' universe, bringing in the theme of "[[Cybertronian colonies|lost colonies]]" with different styles, while still unifying the toyline under a central play-[[gimmick]], the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s.

{{TOCclear}}

==Overview==
[[File:Cyb-toy Override.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Speed Planet Override]]
After ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s rather muddled [[gimmick]]/theme presentation, Hasbro dialed it back for ''Cybertron'' by sticking with a single unifying play gimmick: the [[Cyber Key]]s. These large discs, with designs based on the planet of their origin, unlocked pop-out weapons and action features in each toy once plugged into the key slot. Any planet's key would work with any toy. With the spring-loaded gimmicks less complex than those in ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'', they freed up the designs to allow for more robot-mode posability.

Where ''Cybertron'' gets its diversity is in its aesthetics, through the different planets each Transformer could hail from. Each planet has its own theme, with the toy designs reflecting the culture of each world.

:*'''[[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]''' and '''[[Earth]]''' toys are the most traditional of the series, with future-tech-vehicle and close-to-real-life vehicles respectively, and more "traditional" proportions and detailing.
:*The '''[[Velocitron|Speed Planet]]''' toys are naturally all about the fastness. The vehicle modes are futuristic and fantastical, with transparent plastic tires and other accents. Even the bulkier vehicle modes at least look like they were built for raw horsepower. Colors are bright and clashing, the robot modes themselves streamlined. The Cyber Key gimmicks are typically tied to their swing-out blaster weapons.
:*The brutal '''[[Jungle Planet (colony)|Jungle Planet]]''' is full of robotic beasts, with deeply-complex, nigh-organic sculpting that brings to mind the [[Transmetal|Transmetal IIs]] of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' or the [[technorganic]] ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Maximal]] toys. Robot modes feature limbs made from beast-bits, clawed hands, and fanged mouths. Melee weapons rule the land, with most Cyber Key gimmicks focused on pop-out blades.
:*The '''[[Gigantion|Giant Planet]]''' is about heavy machinery. ''Very'' heavy machinery. Though few in number compared to the rest of the planets, they live up to their planet's name by being some of the largest toys in the line. These heavy construction (or ''de''struction) vehicles are bulky and industrial, plus each one has a tiny [[Mini-Con]] partner to operate a work station somewhere on each bot's vehicle or robot mode.
:*'''[[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]]''' bots are similarly few in number. Their only real unifying style is "futuristic danger". The vehicle modes are sleek and deadly-looking, robot modes vicious and pointy.

The tail-end of the line was again heavy on the [[redeco]]es (by then a practice that had become expected and largely accepted), but also brought micro-play back into the line. Mini-Con two-packs were released to bolster the ranks of the still-popular Mini-Con class. But the history-making addition to the ''Transformers'' franchise was in the [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] toys. These sub-Scout, simple and above all ''inexpensive'' toys were based on the larger toys of popular/major characters, giving kids the chance to own an Optimus Prime or Megatron they could keep in their pocket. From this point on, Legends-sized toys would continue on in some manner through every major ''Transformers'' toyline.

The ''Cybertron'' toyline was one of the first lines to create an ''almost'' perfect representation of robot mode [[scale]] between figures within the line. The previous two toylines in the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family|Unicron Trilogy]] had almost achieved similar results but a lot of the time characters in the cartoons would either be drawn or have their CG models resized into [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|exaggerated proportions]], creating a huge difference between the figures in-hand and the characters presented on-screen. It's likely feasible that the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|Cybertron]]'' cartoon copied the toyline's scale between characters rather than the other way around. This is further evident as a lot of the vehicles in the toyline are out of [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|scale]] [[Scattorshot (Cybertron)#Toys|with]] [[Mudflap (Cybertron)#Toys|one]] [[Lugnutz#Toys|another]], however the show ''usually'' fixed this issue by resizing vehicle animation models to fit a realistic scale. While most of the toyline scale is consistent with what is on-screen, the Giant Planet Natives and [[Primus]] are the main exceptions to this, as they were greatly exaggerated in size on-screen to further support the "giant" aspect of their race, and Primus is... well... obviously a [[Cybertron (planet)|planet]]. Supreme Class [[Starscream (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|Starscream]] can also be displayed with other figures in the line to create a fairly well-scaled representation of the [[Starscream (episode)|episode which inspired the toy]] or next to fellow Supreme Class figure, Primus, to imitate [[Titans|another scene]], much like ''Energon''{{'}}s [[Omega Supreme (Energon)#Toys|Omega]]/[[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|Optimus Supreme]] and [[Unicron]].

==Hasbro ''Cybertron'' toyline==
For Hasbro's line, every Cyber Key (packaged with every toy Scout Class or larger) has a short alphanumeric code printed on its back. These [[Cyber Key Codes]], when plugged into the official ''Cybertron'' website (now defunct), unlocked design sketches and extra biographical info on each toy.

==Hasbro European market-only releases==
{{anchor|Europe}}
As with ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' before it, the European ''Cybertron'' line was mostly just the US line outlined above. However, two sets of [[Micromaster]] [[combiner]] teams that were released as part of the [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'' toy line]] (which was never officially distributed as such in Europe) in the US, exclusive to [[KB Toys]], got released under the ''Cybertron'' banner, using a different assortment number (29514) than their own ''Universe'' counterparts as well as the earlier ''Energon''/''Universe'' figures (all of which were released under the assortment number 29460).

{{anchor|Japan}}{{anchor|Takara}}
==Takara ''Galaxy Force'' toyline==
[[File:TF-Galaxy-Force-Logo.png|left|300px]]
Premiering roughly half a year before ''Cybertron'' (as Hasbro's lines tended to run approximately 18 months while Takara stuck with 12 months), ''Galaxy Force'' would mostly feature slight alterations from the Hasbro versions. Some of the additions to the line, like the ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' retools (sold in Vs packs in Japan) would eventually make their way to the States.

Store-promo [[Mini-Con]] giveaways returned in a big way, with full teams devoted to some of the major characters in the line.

Presumably due to lackluster sales, the line ended even earlier than its projected twelve-month run, after only ''nine'' months. Several characters and redecos that appeared on the show were either never released in Japan at all, or were given a limited production run and/or only made available as exclusives: First, "Dark Ligerjack" (aka Nemesis Breaker), despite being initially assigned the ID number GD-14, was relegated to a Toys"R"Us Japan exclusive; then "Master Megatron" was given a "limited edition" release; the "Dark Crumplezone" redeco of "Landbullet" (named "Armbullet" in the anime), despite being initially assigned the ID number GD-15, was never officially released in Japan at all; Primus was released in an unaltered Hasbro deco (complete with a [[tampograph]]ed [[Cyber Key Codes|Cyber Key code]] that was only relevant for the Hasbro release) in special retro packaging marketed as part of the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' toy line]]; and "Blendar" (Quickmix) and "Moledive" (Menasor) were only released as [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive "[[USA Edition]]s", also in unaltered Hasbro decos in Hasbro packaging with additional stickers on the packaging, more than a year after the ''Galaxy Force'' line had run its course at retail.

==Notes==
* Fun fact: a large majority of figures in the ''Cybertron'' toyline have to have their heads rotated 180° degrees for transformation; whether it be absolutely necessary for clearance/design intent, or for cosmetic reasons (e.g. [[Thundercracker (Armada)#Cybertron|Thundercracker]], whose face gets exposed in vehicle mode whenever his [[Cyber Key]] [[gimmick]] is activated). Since the [[character model|cartoon models]] were heavily based on the toys, this would also be frequently shown in the [[stock footage]] transformation sequences.

Magnoburst:

==Jake/Stingray bio==
If you have a scanner, the best way would be to scan it (and the instructions if you have them), and email to to fortmax05@gmail.com (A picture where the text was readable would also work, but a scan would be preferred). If you can't do wither, the best thing to do would be to just transcribe the bio on the talk page. And thanks, man. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] ([[User talk:FortMax|talk]]) 21:13, 25 January 2014 (EST)
:Oh, and if you have the bio and/or instructions for the Taxxon and are able to scan them, that'd be a big improvement over the current images on the instructions archive --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] ([[User talk:FortMax|talk]]) 21:37, 25 January 2014 (EST)

==Leaked info==
Leaked info like the Nitro toy shouldn't go on the wiki until it's officially confirmed. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 14:39, 17 March 2017 (EDT)

I totally understand, not doing anything wrong intentionally or to be a douche. [[User:TitaniumToughGuy|TitaniumToughGuy]] ([[User talk:TitaniumToughGuy|talk]]) 19:03, 17 March 2017 (EDT)

==Editing a page's sections==
While your editing is appreciated, however...

{{preview}}

...if you need to do a large number of editing on a page with many sections, like what you did for at the [[Non-vehicle non-beast alternate modes]] page, it's bet to just edit the entire page instead of editing section by section. That way, you're not filling up the Recent Changes page with little edits one after another. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] ([[User talk:Lonegamer78|talk]]) 00:43, 17 December 2019 (EST)

==BotBots==
Please remember to add the Note about "recommended minimum buys" when you make a new BotBots page. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 02:20, 25 March 2020 (EDT)

Sure thing, knew I was forgetting something.[[User:TitaniumToughGuy|TitaniumToughGuy]] ([[User talk:TitaniumToughGuy|talk]]) 07:00, 25 March 2020 (EDT)

==Dweller==

Just going to say this and i will walk away. You could have just added 'more than likely a coincidence' instead of just flat out deleting but that just me. If you were in the right, I will just shut up.--[[User:Projectus|Projectus]] ([[User talk:Projectus|talk]]) 19:46, 25 August 2020 (EDT)

:If it's more than likely that it's a coincidence, then there is no need for it on the page since it's ''more than likely'' that it is irrelevant to that page. The concept art you're linking to is regarding Action Masters, and other than the concept of 'a base that is also an octopus', Dweller and that art are not related. [[User:TitaniumToughGuy|TitaniumToughGuy]] ([[User talk:TitaniumToughGuy|talk]]) 20:46, 25 August 2020 (EDT)

::Well that and they have a shark transformers with them but fair enough.--[[User:Projectus|Projectus]] ([[User talk:Projectus|talk]]) 05:02, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

::: Still not enough for them to be directly related. Hypothetically, if the designer of Dweller happened to come out and say they based the design of the Dweller on that Action Master concept art, then by all means it should be on Dweller's page, but that has not happened. If anything, that concept art has more in common with the [[Tako Tank]] (yet ''another'' octopus base), and even THEN those two are not related.[[User:TitaniumToughGuy|TitaniumToughGuy]] ([[User talk:TitaniumToughGuy|talk]]) 09:02, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

:::: I just conceded the argument you didn't need to browbeat me. Now i must argue that the Tako tank is not a base, it a vehicle. A more apt analogy would be [[Orcanoch]] wrong species, right type of being. Other than that I see your point.--[[User:Projectus|Projectus]] ([[User talk:Projectus|talk]]) 13:04, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

:::::No, you do not need to argue that. Arguing that proves nothing other than that you are personally upset about your edit being undone. I am not "browbeating" you, just explaining to you why coincidental information doesn't belong on a character's page. Please stop arguing purely for the sake of it.[[User:TitaniumToughGuy|TitaniumToughGuy]] ([[User talk:TitaniumToughGuy|talk]]) 13:28, 26 August 2020 (EDT)
::::::yeah your right, that was just nitpicking.--[[User:Projectus|Projectus]] ([[User talk:Projectus|talk]]) 14:22, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

== Transmetal Cheetor ==

Why did you revert my addition to Transmetal Cheetor's toy writeup? I had the toy right in front of me and the pegs are there. Do they have a function I'm not aware of or something? [[User:ThatGuy79|ThatGuy79]] ([[User talk:ThatGuy79|talk]]) 07:47, 17 March 2023 (EDT)
:They're just sculpting detail. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] ([[User talk:ItsWalky|talk]]) 08:16, 17 March 2023 (EDT)
::Ohhhh. I thought the shape was too specific since they look like swivel joints. Guess not. Thanks for clearing that up. [[User:ThatGuy79|ThatGuy79]] ([[User talk:ThatGuy79|talk]]) 09:27, 17 March 2023 (EDT)

== Kinda sorta not quite Grimlocks ==

Should the Beast Machines T-Wrecks and Energon Grimlocks REALLY be listed as toys of G1 Grimlock? I can see having them mentioned (trivia maybe?), but having them in the actual list of toys seems to be giving out MIS-information. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 15:39, 27 September 2009 (EDT)
:Yea that is pretty weird, going by this articles logic Megabolt Megatron should be listed under Beast Wars Megatron and not Megatron RID. [[User:Dead Metal|Dead Metal]] 16:31, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

== Henkei figure ==

Me user has him Grimlock Henkei toy. Can me uploads picture? (I'm asking this cos I'm not sure what to do, I don't know how to find Takaratomy stock photos since [[Transformers Wiki:Images]] doesn't tell me how, so taking my own seems to be the best I can do for that) [[User:Item42|Item42]] 00:14, 20 February 2010 (EST)
:Yes. You can upload your own picture. That would be good. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 10:44, 20 February 2010 (EST)

:::::Don't know what it's about, don't care what it's about. IT DOESN'T MATTER. It's a joke someone posted and it's none of your business to jibber jabber about it. And we can move on with our lives when you actually start paying attention to what you have been told over and over and over again.

Hey, so what's the criteria for weapons to get their own pages?

'Cause I think Grimlock's rocket launcher might deserve its own page. [[User:Banannixx|Banannixx]] ([[User talk:Banannixx|talk]]) 02:50, 15 November 2020 (EST)

== Page split? ==

:The merchandise and toy sections in my mind at least seem large enough for a split at this point, and its Grimlock so they are sure to grow. Idk if there is an exact science to this decision but I feel like characters have gotten a toy merch split for less, or a toy fiction split.

Robosen just revealed their Flagship Grimlock robot and their website has it up for pre-order here: https://us.robosen.com/products/flagship-grimlock .

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy), , [[Shōji Kawamori]] ([[Studio Nue]])}}

:Grimlock's toy was originally part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' Dinosaur Robo series. When [[Hasbro]] imported the toy in 1985 for the ''Transformers'' line, its blue pelvis was changed to red, its sword was changed from chrome to flat red, the Diaclone driver mini-figure was dropped but still retained the cockpit though later releases had it permanently locked shut, and its teeth were altered [[for safety reasons]].

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

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

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

:His shell's head looks a lot like a younger {{w|Ed Asner}}, and also bears a passing resemblence to his voice actor, [[Gregg Berger]].

*'''Grimlock''' ([[Legends (G1)|Legends]], 1989)
**''Accessories:'' "rocket launcher" dino-tail
:A [[Kmart]] [[exclusive]] in its [[Hasbro]] release, this version of Grimlock is simply the inner robot of his Classic Pretender form without the shell or its accessories, leaving him only his tail/gun.

{{-}}{{anchor|HeroSet}}
[[File:G1toy japanese legends giftset.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Hero Set''' (Multi-pack, 1989)
**''Accessories:'' Tail/gun
:In Japan, Legends Grimlock was available only in a boxed "Hero Set" with the Legends versions of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Jazz]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Starscream]]. Grimlock was mostly unchanged from to the Hasbro release, but sported a silver painted face instead of Hasbro's orange painted one.

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

*'''Grimlock with anti-tank cannon''' (Action Master, [[1990]])
**''Accessories:'' Anti-tank cannon partner, "[[particle beam cannon]]"

:Part of the initial assortment of non-transforming [[Action Master]] figures, Grimlock's design combines his cartoon model with extra toy-based detailing. He came with the [[Anti-tank cannon]] "partner" machine which could be ridden by Grimlock (or any other Action Master) or unfolded via spring-loaded [[gimmick]] to form a really ''big'' hand-held "long-range mortar launcher". He is compatible with any other Action Master vehicle or weapon.

**''Accessories'': [[Energo weapon|'Energo' sword]], twin 'stunner' laser rifle, galaxial rocket launcher, 3 rockets

:Grimlock's original toy was reissued in the European/Australian-exclusive "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]" series, with no notable changes. In Greece, these releases were added to re-releases of the [[Defensor (G1)#Toys|Defensor]] and [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Toys|Devastator]] [[giftsets]].

*'''Grimlock''' (Dinobot, [[1993]])
**''Accessories:'' 'Energo' sword, twin 'stunner' laser rifle,

:Grimlock's original toy was [[redeco]]ed for release in ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', this time lacking the missile launcher accessory. He was available in three different colors; the first—and rarest—in his original silver (the easiest way to spot if this is a ''Generation 2'' or original is by the "Autobot" [[tampograph]] on his leg), then in a medium turquoise-blue, and finally (and most commonly) in a dark blue.

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

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

**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun, energo-sword
{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

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

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

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

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Joe Kyde]] (deco artist), [[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}

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

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

:Grimlock's bayonet blaster (dubbed the "[[Guardian Blaster]]" in his [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 13|TFCC profile]]) can be deployed in either mode and fires a clear red projectile. Both weapons can be stored on his back when not used. As with most ''Classics'' toys, Grimlock features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]], placed on the left side of the tyrannosaurus torso/his left leg.

:A common complaint about the figure is the size of the peg that locks his arms in place being too small in relation to the peg-hole, making it difficult to keep transformed. The black shoulder flaps above this assembly are meant to tab into these and lock the whole thing together, but the flaps don't align properly and the tabs themselves are too short to even reach the slots. In addition, the bayonet blaster has a hair-trigger and his fist holes are a few fractions of a millimeter too small to accommodate standard 5mm peg accessories that most modern ''Transformers'' toys use.

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

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

:He includes a cannon and his trademark sword. In vehicle mode, the sword can peg onto the side of his rear treads, while the cannon can peg into the back of the cabin. The cannon has a joint on its connector so it can swivel around.

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

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (concept artist)}}

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

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

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

:When he was reissued, he came with a crown redecoed from the King Grimlock release and a new flame attachment to go over his sword.

*'''King Grimlock''' (December, 2009)
**''ID number:'' '''MP-8X'''
**''Accessories:'' Energo sword, twin 'stunner' lasers rifle, crown

:King Grimlock is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock with a color scheme based on his appearance in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Generation 1 Marvel comic]]. All of his previously flat gray surfaces are coated in silver paint, his gold chrome is more vibrant, and his previously black plastic is now a dark blue in reference to the limited color palette of the Marvel Comics issues, and the colorless chrome used for his tail and arms is now a light blue chrome. He also features some different paint applications: on his dinosaur chest, inside the clear panel on his robot mode chest, and on his robot mode knees. In addition, his toes are now metallic yellow instead of metallic gray. He also lacks the faceplate paint of the original Masterpiece Grimlock. His sword is also tinted orange rather than neutral clear, and the clear panel on his chest is clear dark green plastic instead of neutral clear. Curiously what were the red eyes in dinosaur mode on the original ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock are now the blue eyes on King Grimlock, and the blue eyes are now the red. The product also features the crown worn by Grimlock in the comics instead of the accessories from the cartoon, such as the waiter apron or the glasses. The [[package art]] is drawn in an homage to the early style of ''The Transformers'' published by Marvel Comics, as well as a bilingual ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' style [[bio]] on the back of the package.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

: Part of the first (and only) wave of Electronic Action ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Grimlock is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints... and considerably larger than any other figure in the line at that. His design is based on his ''Age of Extinction'' counterpart, but also takes some cues and the coloration from the Generation 1 version of the character. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

: He is designed with a removable head, forelimbs, thighs, lower legs, and tail, 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.

: His large size is augmented by a large number of accessories and gimmicks.

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

[[File:Generations-Cyber-Battalion-Grimlock.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Me Grimlock having identity crisis!]]
*'''Grimlock''' (Cyber Battalion, 2015)

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]'' Cyber Battalion class figures, this Voyager-sized mold of Grimlock transforms from robot to dinosaur and back. The figure has a far greater range of articulation than many other Cyber Series figure to date. A small switch on the back of his beast-mode head moves his jaw up and down.

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

:Like all of the ''Cyber Series'' figures, Grimlock initially 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. The line was later distributed in larger quantities by [[Walgreens]] stores in parts of the United States.

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

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

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

:The beast accessory released with Clobber also has more than a passing resemblance to [[Snarl (G1)#AM|Snarl]]'s [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] [[Action Master partner]] [[Tyrannitron]], though, whether this was an intentional nod or just pure coincidence, is yet to be seen.

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

{{toydesigner|[[Evan Brooks]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: Released to commemorate the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Grimlock is inspired by the ''Masterpiece'' figure, which hybridized the look of his appearance in [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the Generation 1 cartoon]] and his original toy, while sporting multiple aesthetic details unique to the ''Masterpiece'' toy. Because he is also influenced by the concurrently-ran ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', this Grimlock conforms to the trilogy's concerns for scale, making him the tallest Leader Class figure in the format.

: This figure comes with a non-transforming and slightly articulated [[Wheelie (G1)#Studio Series|Wheelie]] figurine (plus his slingshot) and Grimlock's rocket launcher, which can store on his back in ''T. rex'' mode.

: Grimlock's colors were subject to multiple changes (see right). Physical samples were not shown on the [[October 16]]th [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]] due to in-progress color changes by [[TakaraTomy]]. The original renders shown at the time had yellow parts, a clear chest panel, and an opaque dino neck, evoking the Generation 1 cartoon model. [[Hasbro]] stock photography somewhat reflected this, but the dino neck was made translucent-yellow instead to reveal inner details, much like the [[#The Transformers|Generation 1 toy]]. In the end, the final toy (used in TakaraTomy stock photography) featured gold paint instead of yellow, a translucent-black chest panel instead of clear (both of which closer evoke the original toy), and an opaque dino neck. Despite the translucent Generation 1 toy-styled neck feature being scrapped on the final toy, the neck halves are still molded in translucent plastic (the same translucent-black plastic used on his chest panel) and the detailed piece inside the neck assembly still remains, meaning one could remove the gold paint from the neck halves and salvage this feature for a more toy-accurate look.

: Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a diorama display for the figure. In this case, it is the Dinobots' famous (ahem) ''self-invited'' entrance at [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]'s execution.

: Grimlock was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Grimlock (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Grimlock]].

:Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' "Maximal Grimlock" is a retool of [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Generations|Dinobot]] from the same line, transforming from a robot mode based on Dinobot's ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon appearance into a ''[[Jurassic Park]]''-accurate ''Velociraptor'' in 28 steps. Grimlock features a new head based directly on Grimlock's (and therefore, Dinobot's) original ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' figure. Grimlock's hands have a [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] that can hold both his weapons and can close to hold objects. He also has 5 mm ports under his heels and one under his back-[[kibble]]. His tail can detach and split into two components: his Cyber Slash tail weapon, and his sword. If one chooses to, the 5 mm port on the hand or the hand's swivel joint can allow the Cyber Slash weapon to spin in his hand. The sword's tip is molded with the same texture as Grimlock's skin, presumably to better blend in as the tail tip in beast mode. Due to the Cyber Slash weapon connection, the sword cannot be held by other Transformers toys with traditional 5 mm port hands. The Cyber Slash weapon can store in robot mode by attaching to the same port as beast mode.

:Oddly for a modern ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' figure, Grimlock's ''Velociraptor'' mode features a deco that strays from the original ''Beast Wars'' toy and ''[[Transformers: Dinobots|Dinobots]]'' [[Grimlock (Dinobots)#Toys|Grimlock]]'s decoes and includes some particularly odd choices like leaving the fake "eyes" on the chest unpainted, but painting exactly ''half'' the knee section white, despite that portion being mostly concealed in beast mode.

:And in what can be considered a surprise, Grimlock is mentioned in Hasbro's official description for the figure to be inspired by the character's appearance in ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]''!<ref>[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-kingdom-battle-across-time-collection-deluxe-wfc-k40-autobot-mirage-maximal-grimlock "Beast Wars: Uprising-inspired Maximal Grimlock toy converts from robot to raptor mode in 28 steps"]</ref> Even though his [[Beast mode#Beast Wars: Uprising|Beast Upgrade]] appearance was never shown.

:The nylon plastic used for Grimlock's shoulder joints, thigh joints, and forearms has been reported to yellow quickly over time.

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' Core Class toys, Grimlock is a miniature version of the famous Dinobot leader, converting into a blocky ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. Part of his beast mode tail detaches to become a twin-barrelled gun in robot mode. Grimlock also forms the left leg for Volcanicus, the first combiner released within the Core Class scale. He's probably disappointed at not forming the torso... Similar to how [[Goryu (G1)|Goryu]] is the leader of the [[Dinoforce]], but only forms the left leg of [[Dinoking]]. Hmmm... Like Snarl, the underneath of Grimlock's crotch features an H-shaped-ish port, most likely used for a foot panel like Monstructor/Dinoking does.

: Due to being connected with the frame that holds the dino body/arms and head, the combiner knee joint may cause it to bend up due to how (slightly) tight the construction is. While Grimlock's combiner peg can be attached to any of the thighs, he is ''only'' designed to attach to the left side, given the joint's placement, and the cavity on Grimlock's left robot foot providing clearance on the gestalt's thigh panels (the left half of Sludge's robot legs/rear tail).

: His stock photography is mistransformed, the legs can flip around to form a better-looking tail, reducing the amount of kibble hanging off his back section.

: Grimlock and the other Core Class figures from his wave arrived at US retail ''less than a week'' after their initial reveal.

===Robosen Collector's Edition===
*'''Grimlock Auto-Converting Robot''' (2023)
**''Accessories:'' carrying case, galaxial rocket launcher, energon sword, crown, wall charger, USB-C to USB 2.0 cable, [[collector coin]]

:The third entry in Robosen's series of G1-style ''Transformers'' robots, this Grimlock is a highly-interactive, programmable transforming robot. Made with 85 microchips, 37 servo motors, and a 6-axis IMU, and capable of speaking over 150 voicelines (all newly-recorded by [[Gregg Berger]]), Grimlock straddles the line between "toy" and "high-end showroom electronics" like the other Robosen robots... though it ''definitely'' leans more towards the latter, given that Robosen not only touts Grimlock as "The World's First Dual-form, Bipedal Walking Robot," but his regular asking price is also an absurd '''$1700'''. Using either voice commands or a companion iOS/Android bluetooth app interface, users can control Grimlock's movements by either using pre-programmed commands or creating movement routines of their own. From an aesthetic perspective, on the other hand, this Grimlock is essentially a 15" tall upscale of his Masterpiece figure, down to various sculpted details that were seemingly recreated 1:1.

:Grimlock is primarily powered by an internal lithium ion battery, charged via a USB-C connection. Based on [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robosen Collector's Edition|Optimus Prime]], the LEDs for Grimlock's Galaxial Rocket Launcher and "energon sword" are likely powered by a replaceable CR 1220 3V battery.

:Like Optimus Prime before him, the voice command that triggers Grimlock's transformation is officially "[[convert]]", but "transform" works just the same. All told, Grimlock has 42 built-in voice commands he can respond to, from simple movement commands like turning left or right to actions like leaning forward and roaring in dino mode. Carried over from Robosen's [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Robosen|Bumblebee]] is "mini-theater" mode, a selection of longer pre-programmed action sequences with matching sounds, with sequences featuring Grimlock either by himself or with other Robosen G1 robots available to pick from. Considering that Robosen continually rolled out new commands and firmware updates for Optimus Prime for months after his release with no clear end date, Grimlock will more than likely recieve additional commands for some time after his release.

:37 servo motors is definitely a ''lot'', but that effort was moreso put into ensuring Grimlock can transform and remain balanced while doing so – compared to contemporary 1st-party figures costing ''over a thousand dollars less'', Grimlock's robot mode lacks basic neck and wrist rotation, and his legs are incapable of rotating such that his feet can point any direction other than straight forward. Dino mode likewise has a notable sacrifice: while his ''T. rex'' neck can rotate a bit to the left or right and his head can look up and down, this comes at the cost of no arm articulation whatsoever.

:When asked to turn right or left in robot mode, Grimlock is not able to perform that action in two or three normal steps with ankle and hip rotation like a human would. He lacks any leg joints that rotate around a vertical axis, so for him to rotate his body to the right, he must perform a startling stutter shuffle move. He pushes one foot out slightly forward, the other foot slightly backward, and maintains that orientation while rapidly sliding his legs together and apart more than once per second until the asymmetrical rapid sliding friction of his feet against the floor eventually scoots him into facing a different direction. This movement can wear out the paint on his inner soles pretty fast, even on smoother surfaces.

:Sadly, Grimlock shares the same inability to stand in robot mode without power as Optimus Prime – when turned off, Grimlock will lean forward and rest his robot arms and legs on the ground. Dino mode fares better, as he ''will'' stay standing up when he's powered off... but as his joints have now gone limp, he's liable to tip or slouch at the slightest bit of disturbance, so if you do decide to put him on display in this mode, make sure he's somewhere ''very'' stable.

:Grimlock's pre-programmed animation set assumes his rocket launcher is in his right hand and his sword in his left. There aren't any sensors to detect whether they and/or the crown are in place, so it's best to avoid, say, <strike>transforming</strike> converting Grimlock while they're in place. On a lighter note, Grimlock is capable of wearing the crown in both modes, meaning it no matter whether he robot or dino – Grimlock always king!

:The app-controlled motion programming interface is extremely complex. The position of each joint at each step in an animation can be dictated either with numerical parameters, or by sensing the positions of the joints on the toy during programming. Many poses can be strung together to form long action sequences. The app uses long gamified sequences of tutorials to teach programming techniques and unlock more sound clips for use in more animations. Despite that available complexity though, there are some actions used by official animations that cannot be performed in customized sequences (if Optimus Prime is anything to go by, at least), such as a head nod or a full mode conversion.

:Given this piece's fragility, complexity, and high cost, it is appropriate that it is packaged in a heavy duty foam-padded carrying case, complete with clasps and a handle. But the case can't protect from paint wear issues that arise quickly via actual use. Grimlock's knuckles and feet will almost certainly instantly get severe scrape marks if he transforms on a rough surface like concrete, but even smooth unvarnished wood can wear the gloss off the paint before long. Even soft carpeting might not be safe, as some users of Optimus Prime have reported toppling issues due to a lack of traction. Grimlock ''is'' designed to be more stable thanks to his IMU, but heed caution all the same.

:Grimlock was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] on July 19, 2023, with orders set to ship out from both Pulse and Robosen's own online store in late Fall 2023. When revealed, Grimlock was made available at a special introductory price of $1500; this is set to last until September 30, at which point his regular price will go into place.

: He comes with the [[Brainwave Transfer Device]]<ref>Unnamed here, but later called as such on Takara's ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Grimlock figure.</ref> seen in the cartoon episode "[[Grimlock's New Brain]]", which... ''can'' sit on his head, but it's not a great fit and falls off at the slightest provocation, especially if you keep the hose attached. Speaking of, in the color version of the figure, the post on top of the helmet may be painted over, making it too thick to fit into the ''very'' small hole in the hose.

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

: The Grimlock PVC was re-released in the fourth act of the "Super Collection Figure" series, this time painted over entirely in metallics, with more toy-like gold replacing the yellow. He was available only as a rare "[[chase figure|Secret Figure]]", packed at a ''presumed'' ratio of one in every ten cases. (This ratio was given for Secret Figures in later Acts, and it seems unlikely it would change.)

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

*'''Grimlock''' (2003)

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

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

:Each statue of the line features a connection point for it to be connected to the others, in order to form a battle scene.

:A Kickstarter campaign to raise the necessary funds for this project was launched, but failed to meet its goal by September 24, 2021 and the whole thing was canceled.

*'''Grimlock''' (2022)

:[[XM Studios]]' statue of Grimlock is nearly 40" tall, made of hand-painted porcelain. Grimlock has [[LED|light-up eyes]] and comes with alternate sets of arms that allow him to brandish his signature sword, gun, and... giant spiked mace? The mace and some of the color and detail choices on this statue suggest it mixes elements of both the G1 character and his [[Grimlock (AOE)|live-action movie counterpart]]. The set also includes a sculpted representation of Grimlock's dino mode that can be displayed next to the robot.

:399 pieces were produced, with a suggested price of about $1,900 US.

==Notes==
[[File:G2GrimlockArtwork.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Heavy Metal Greymon.]]
* Grimlock was originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "[[:File:DiacloneGrimlock.jpg|Dinosaur Robo Tyrannosaurus]]". The only differences between this incarnation and the ''Transformers'' release are that the ''Diaclone'' version has a silver-chromed sword and a blue crotch piece rather than red, as well as coming with a green-and-black Diaclone pilot figure.
* The original ''Diaclone'' commercial for the mold that became Grimlock showed him spewing fire from his mouth. So much for truth in advertising!
* There is (or ''was'') [[:File:Grimlock Natural History Museum.JPG|a Grimlock toy]] placed in the showcase in the dinosaur section of the {{w|Natural History Museum}} in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]]; oddly, this doesn't make him the [[Slag (G1)|only one]]. Sadly, however, he has since been removed from the display. Boo!
* Despite being released in three different color schemes during the ''Generation 2'' toyline, a piece of recolored card artwork—seemingly from the collection of a former [[Hasbro]] employee—has surfaced on [[eBay]] (alongside recolored artwork of [[:File:G2SwoopArtwork.jpg|Swoop]] and [[:File:G2SludgeBoxart.jpg|Sludge]]), showing what may have been an intended fourth version of the Grimlock toy for that line. Being bright yellow with teal stripes, it certainly ''looks'' very [[neon|'90s]], and would delight such fans when it reached fruition in a modern mold in [[2023]].
* [[T-Wrecks]] may have been intended to be a new form for Grimlock, based on the references in his tech spec bio to his ''Beast Wars'' "Attack Specialist" function and other hints. However, T-Wrecks' appearances in the [[3H Productions]] ''[[Transformers: Universe (comic)|Universe: The Wreckers]]'' comics suggest he is a new, unrelated character.
* A working name for the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Ford Mustang mold which ultimately ended up as Grimlock was "[[Freeway (G1)|Freeway]]", according to various early store listings.
* The [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] toy released in the [[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|''Energon'' toyline]] was originally created by [[Hasbro]] for release as a special new-mold addition for the [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'' toyline]], and was intended to represent Generation 1 Grimlock. However, it wasn't and it didn't for the combination of budgetary concerns and keeping the combination gimmick (since he combines with the packed-in [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]] to form "[[Mega-Dinobot]]") only in the ''Energon'' toyline, which had combination as a central theme.

'''''Q-Transformers''''' (キュートランスフォーマー ''Kyūtoransufōmā'', a portmanteau of "cute" + "Transformers") is a [[TakaraTomy]] toyline launched in late [[2014]] and a spin-off of sorts of ''[[Choro-Q]]'', featuring similar [[super deformed]], fully licensed vehicles that now transform into cute little robots.

The toyline is accompanied by ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (mobile game)|Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'', an endless-runner-type mobile game based on the infamous ''[[Transformers: Mystery of Convoy|Mystery of Convoy]]'', as well as a [[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (cartoon)|cartoon]] by the same name.

**''Takara ID number:'' '''26'''

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy), , [[Shōji Kawamori]] ([[Studio Nue]])}}

:Grimlock's toy was originally part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' Dinosaur Robo series. When [[Hasbro]] imported the toy in 1985 for the ''Transformers'' line, its blue pelvis was changed to red, its sword was changed from chrome to flat red, the Diaclone driver mini-figure was dropped but still retained the cockpit though later releases had it permanently locked shut, and its teeth were altered [[for safety reasons]].

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

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

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

:His shell's head looks a lot like a younger {{w|Ed Asner}}, and also bears a passing resemblence to his voice actor, [[Gregg Berger]].

*'''Grimlock''' ([[Legends (G1)|Legends]], 1989)
**''Accessories:'' "rocket launcher" dino-tail
:A [[Kmart]] [[exclusive]] in its [[Hasbro]] release, this version of Grimlock is simply the inner robot of his Classic Pretender form without the shell or its accessories, leaving him only his tail/gun.

{{-}}{{anchor|HeroSet}}
[[File:G1toy japanese legends giftset.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Hero Set''' (Multi-pack, 1989)
**''Accessories:'' Tail/gun
:In Japan, Legends Grimlock was available only in a boxed "Hero Set" with the Legends versions of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Jazz]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Starscream]]. Grimlock was mostly unchanged from to the Hasbro release, but sported a silver painted face instead of Hasbro's orange painted one.

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

*'''Grimlock with anti-tank cannon''' (Action Master, [[1990]])
**''Accessories:'' Anti-tank cannon partner, "[[particle beam cannon]]"

:Part of the initial assortment of non-transforming [[Action Master]] figures, Grimlock's design combines his cartoon model with extra toy-based detailing. He came with the [[Anti-tank cannon]] "partner" machine which could be ridden by Grimlock (or any other Action Master) or unfolded via spring-loaded [[gimmick]] to form a really ''big'' hand-held "long-range mortar launcher". He is compatible with any other Action Master vehicle or weapon.

**''Accessories'': [[Energo weapon|'Energo' sword]], twin 'stunner' laser rifle, galaxial rocket launcher, 3 rockets

:Grimlock's original toy was reissued in the European/Australian-exclusive "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]" series, with no notable changes. In Greece, these releases were added to re-releases of the [[Defensor (G1)#Toys|Defensor]] and [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Toys|Devastator]] [[giftsets]].

*'''Grimlock''' (Dinobot, [[1993]])
**''Accessories:'' 'Energo' sword, twin 'stunner' laser rifle,

:Grimlock's original toy was [[redeco]]ed for release in ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', this time lacking the missile launcher accessory. He was available in three different colors; the first—and rarest—in his original silver (the easiest way to spot if this is a ''Generation 2'' or original is by the "Autobot" [[tampograph]] on his leg), then in a medium turquoise-blue, and finally (and most commonly) in a dark blue.

*'''Grimlock''' (Deluxe Class, [[1997]])
**''Accessories:'' "[[Cyber-slash tail weapon|Spinning slasher sword]]", tail-bone-sword

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

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

{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

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

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

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

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Joe Kyde]] (deco artist), [[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}

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

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

:Grimlock's bayonet blaster (dubbed the "[[Guardian Blaster]]" in his [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 13|TFCC profile]]) can be deployed in either mode and fires a clear red projectile. Both weapons can be stored on his back when not used. As with most ''Classics'' toys, Grimlock features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]], placed on the left side of the tyrannosaurus torso/his left leg.

:A common complaint about the figure is the size of the peg that locks his arms in place being too small in relation to the peg-hole, making it difficult to keep transformed. The black shoulder flaps above this assembly are meant to tab into these and lock the whole thing together, but the flaps don't align properly and the tabs themselves are too short to even reach the slots. In addition, the bayonet blaster has a hair-trigger and his fist holes are a few fractions of a millimeter too small to accommodate standard 5mm peg accessories that most modern ''Transformers'' toys use.

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

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

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

:He includes a cannon and his trademark sword. In vehicle mode, the sword can peg onto the side of his rear treads, while the cannon can peg into the back of the cabin. The cannon has a joint on its connector so it can swivel around.

**''ID number:'' '''C-03'''

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

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (concept artist)}}

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

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

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

:When he was reissued, he came with a crown redecoed from the King Grimlock release and a new flame attachment to go over his sword.

*'''King Grimlock''' (December, 2009)
**''ID number:'' '''MP-8X'''
**''Accessories:'' Energo sword, twin 'stunner' lasers rifle, crown

:King Grimlock is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock with a color scheme based on his appearance in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Generation 1 Marvel comic]]. All of his previously flat gray surfaces are coated in silver paint, his gold chrome is more vibrant, and his previously black plastic is now a dark blue in reference to the limited color palette of the Marvel Comics issues, and the colorless chrome used for his tail and arms is now a light blue chrome. He also features some different paint applications: on his dinosaur chest, inside the clear panel on his robot mode chest, and on his robot mode knees. In addition, his toes are now metallic yellow instead of metallic gray. He also lacks the faceplate paint of the original Masterpiece Grimlock. His sword is also tinted orange rather than neutral clear, and the clear panel on his chest is clear dark green plastic instead of neutral clear. Curiously what were the red eyes in dinosaur mode on the original ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock are now the blue eyes on King Grimlock, and the blue eyes are now the red. The product also features the crown worn by Grimlock in the comics instead of the accessories from the cartoon, such as the waiter apron or the glasses. The [[package art]] is drawn in an homage to the early style of ''The Transformers'' published by Marvel Comics, as well as a bilingual ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' style [[bio]] on the back of the package.

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

Unusually for a Hasbro-branded release, if purchased through Toys"R"Us in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, or mainland China, or Toys Retailing in Thailand, this figure included a Hasbro Asia "Masterpiece King Grimlock" [[collector coin]].

:Oddly, the Hasbro stock photos display his dino-mode legs as being ''backwards''.

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

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

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

{{note|''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Grimlock (WFC)#Generations|Grimlock]] was repurposed as Generation 1 Grimlock by ''Transformers Legends''.}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

: Part of the first (and only) wave of Electronic Action ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Grimlock is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints... and considerably larger than any other figure in the line at that. His design is based on his ''Age of Extinction'' counterpart, but also takes some cues and the coloration from the Generation 1 version of the character. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

: He is designed with a removable head, forelimbs, thighs, lower legs, and tail, 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.

: His large size is augmented by a large number of accessories and gimmicks. The signature electronic aspect is a light-up mouth, used to illuminate his "flame blast" accessory, or any other transparent accessory you care to stuff into his gaping maw. He also comes with two spring-loaded missile launchers.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]'' Cyber Battalion class figures, this Voyager-sized mold of Grimlock transforms from robot to dinosaur and back. The figure has a far greater range of articulation than many other Cyber Series figure to date. A small switch on the back of his beast-mode head moves his jaw up and down.

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

:Like all of the ''Cyber Series'' figures, Grimlock initially 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. The line was later distributed in larger quantities by [[Walgreens]] stores in parts of the United States.

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

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

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

:The beast accessory released with Clobber also has more than a passing resemblance to [[Snarl (G1)#AM|Snarl]]'s [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] [[Action Master partner]] [[Tyrannitron]], though, whether this was an intentional nod or just pure coincidence, is yet to be seen.

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

{{toydesigner|[[Evan Brooks]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: Released to commemorate the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Grimlock is inspired by the ''Masterpiece'' figure, which hybridized the look of his appearance in [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the Generation 1 cartoon]] and his original toy, while sporting multiple aesthetic details unique to the ''Masterpiece'' toy. Because he is also influenced by the concurrently-ran ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', this Grimlock conforms to the trilogy's concerns for scale, making him the tallest Leader Class figure in the format.

: This figure comes with a non-transforming and slightly articulated [[Wheelie (G1)#Studio Series|Wheelie]] figurine (plus his slingshot) and Grimlock's rocket launcher, which can store on his back in ''T. rex'' mode.

: Grimlock's colors were subject to multiple changes (see right). Physical samples were not shown on the [[October 16]]th [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]] due to in-progress color changes by [[TakaraTomy]]. The original renders shown at the time had yellow parts, a clear chest panel, and an opaque dino neck, evoking the Generation 1 cartoon model. [[Hasbro]] stock photography somewhat reflected this, but the dino neck was made translucent-yellow instead to reveal inner details, much like the [[#The Transformers|Generation 1 toy]]. In the end, the final toy (used in TakaraTomy stock photography) featured gold paint instead of yellow, a translucent-black chest panel instead of clear (both of which closer evoke the original toy), and an opaque dino neck. Despite the translucent Generation 1 toy-styled neck feature being scrapped on the final toy, the neck halves are still molded in translucent plastic (the same translucent-black plastic used on his chest panel) and the detailed piece inside the neck assembly still remains, meaning one could remove the gold paint from the neck halves and salvage this feature for a more toy-accurate look.

: Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a diorama display for the figure. In this case, it is the Dinobots' famous (ahem) ''self-invited'' entrance at [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]'s execution.

: Grimlock was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Grimlock (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Grimlock]].

:Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' "Maximal Grimlock" is a retool of [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Generations|Dinobot]] from the same line, transforming from a robot mode based on Dinobot's ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon appearance into a ''[[Jurassic Park]]''-accurate ''Velociraptor'' in 28 steps. Grimlock features a new head based directly on Grimlock's (and therefore, Dinobot's) original ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' figure. Grimlock's hands have a [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] that can hold both his weapons and can close to hold objects. He also has 5 mm ports under his heels and one under his back-[[kibble]]. His tail can detach and split into two components: his Cyber Slash tail weapon, and his sword. If one chooses to, the 5 mm port on the hand or the hand's swivel joint can allow the Cyber Slash weapon to spin in his hand. The sword's tip is molded with the same texture as Grimlock's skin, presumably to better blend in as the tail tip in beast mode. Due to the Cyber Slash weapon connection, the sword cannot be held by other Transformers toys with traditional 5 mm port hands. The Cyber Slash weapon can store in robot mode by attaching to the same port as beast mode.

:Oddly for a modern ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' figure, Grimlock's ''Velociraptor'' mode features a deco that strays from the original ''Beast Wars'' toy and ''[[Transformers: Dinobots|Dinobots]]'' [[Grimlock (Dinobots)#Toys|Grimlock]]'s decoes and includes some particularly odd choices like leaving the fake "eyes" on the chest unpainted, but painting exactly ''half'' the knee section white, despite that portion being mostly concealed in beast mode.

:And in what can be considered a surprise, Grimlock is mentioned in Hasbro's official description for the figure to be inspired by the character's appearance in ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]''!<ref>[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-kingdom-battle-across-time-collection-deluxe-wfc-k40-autobot-mirage-maximal-grimlock "Beast Wars: Uprising-inspired Maximal Grimlock toy converts from robot to raptor mode in 28 steps"]</ref> Even though his [[Beast mode#Beast Wars: Uprising|Beast Upgrade]] appearance was never shown.

:The nylon plastic used for Grimlock's shoulder joints, thigh joints, and forearms has been reported to yellow quickly over time.

Though similar to the ''Siege'' "Final Strike Figure Series", being exclusive multi-packs with package art that combines into a larger piece, the "Battle Across Time Collection" label is printed on the box. The two-pack is exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the US, and in the UK on Hasbro Pulse and several online retailers.

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' Core Class toys, Grimlock is a miniature version of the famous Dinobot leader, converting into a blocky ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. Part of his beast mode tail detaches to become a twin-barrelled gun in robot mode. Grimlock also forms the left leg for Volcanicus, the first combiner released within the Core Class scale. He's probably disappointed at not forming the torso... Similar to how [[Goryu (G1)|Goryu]] is the leader of the [[Dinoforce]], but only forms the left leg of [[Dinoking]]. Hmmm... Like Snarl, the underneath of Grimlock's crotch features an H-shaped-ish port, most likely used for a foot panel like Monstructor/Dinoking does.

: Due to being connected with the frame that holds the dino body/arms and head, the combiner knee joint may cause it to bend up due to how (slightly) tight the construction is. While Grimlock's combiner peg can be attached to any of the thighs, he is ''only'' designed to attach to the left side, given the joint's placement, and the cavity on Grimlock's left robot foot providing clearance on the gestalt's thigh panels (the left half of Sludge's robot legs/rear tail).

: His stock photography is mistransformed, the legs can flip around to form a better-looking tail, reducing the amount of kibble hanging off his back section.

: Grimlock and the other Core Class figures from his wave arrived at US retail ''less than a week'' after their initial reveal.

===Robosen Collector's Edition===
*'''Grimlock Auto-Converting Robot''' (2023)
**''Accessories:'' carrying case, galaxial rocket launcher, energon sword, crown, wall charger, USB-C to USB 2.0 cable, [[collector coin]]

:The third entry in Robosen's series of G1-style ''Transformers'' robots, this Grimlock is a highly-interactive, programmable transforming robot. Made with 85 microchips, 37 servo motors, and a 6-axis IMU, and capable of speaking over 150 voicelines (all newly-recorded by [[Gregg Berger]]), Grimlock straddles the line between "toy" and "high-end showroom electronics" like the other Robosen robots... though it ''definitely'' leans more towards the latter, given that Robosen not only touts Grimlock as "The World's First Dual-form, Bipedal Walking Robot," but his regular asking price is also an absurd '''$1700'''. Using either voice commands or a companion iOS/Android bluetooth app interface, users can control Grimlock's movements by either using pre-programmed commands or creating movement routines of their own. From an aesthetic perspective, on the other hand, this Grimlock is essentially a 15" tall upscale of his Masterpiece figure, down to various sculpted details that were seemingly recreated 1:1.

:Grimlock is primarily powered by an internal lithium ion battery, charged via a USB-C connection. Based on [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robosen Collector's Edition|Optimus Prime]], the LEDs for Grimlock's Galaxial Rocket Launcher and "energon sword" are likely powered by a replaceable CR 1220 3V battery.

:Like Optimus Prime before him, the voice command that triggers Grimlock's transformation is officially "[[convert]]", but "transform" works just the same. All told, Grimlock has 42 built-in voice commands he can respond to, from simple movement commands like turning left or right to actions like leaning forward and roaring in dino mode. Carried over from Robosen's [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Robosen|Bumblebee]] is "mini-theater" mode, a selection of longer pre-programmed action sequences with matching sounds, with sequences featuring Grimlock either by himself or with other Robosen G1 robots available to pick from. Considering that Robosen continually rolled out new commands and firmware updates for Optimus Prime for months after his release with no clear end date, Grimlock will more than likely recieve additional commands for some time after his release.

:37 servo motors is definitely a ''lot'', but that effort was moreso put into ensuring Grimlock can transform and remain balanced while doing so – compared to contemporary 1st-party figures costing ''over a thousand dollars less'', Grimlock's robot mode lacks basic neck and wrist rotation, and his legs are incapable of rotating such that his feet can point any direction other than straight forward. Dino mode likewise has a notable sacrifice: while his ''T. rex'' neck can rotate a bit to the left or right and his head can look up and down, this comes at the cost of no arm articulation whatsoever.

:When asked to turn right or left in robot mode, Grimlock is not able to perform that action in two or three normal steps with ankle and hip rotation like a human would. He lacks any leg joints that rotate around a vertical axis, so for him to rotate his body to the right, he must perform a startling stutter shuffle move. He pushes one foot out slightly forward, the other foot slightly backward, and maintains that orientation while rapidly sliding his legs together and apart more than once per second until the asymmetrical rapid sliding friction of his feet against the floor eventually scoots him into facing a different direction. This movement can wear out the paint on his inner soles pretty fast, even on smoother surfaces.

:Sadly, Grimlock shares the same inability to stand in robot mode without power as Optimus Prime – when turned off, Grimlock will lean forward and rest his robot arms and legs on the ground. Dino mode fares better, as he ''will'' stay standing up when he's powered off... but as his joints have now gone limp, he's liable to tip or slouch at the slightest bit of disturbance, so if you do decide to put him on display in this mode, make sure he's somewhere ''very'' stable.

:Grimlock's pre-programmed animation set assumes his rocket launcher is in his right hand and his sword in his left. There aren't any sensors to detect whether they and/or the crown are in place, so it's best to avoid, say, <strike>transforming</strike> converting Grimlock while they're in place. On a lighter note, Grimlock is capable of wearing the crown in both modes, meaning it no matter whether he robot or dino – Grimlock always king!

:The app-controlled motion programming interface is extremely complex. The position of each joint at each step in an animation can be dictated either with numerical parameters, or by sensing the positions of the joints on the toy during programming. Many poses can be strung together to form long action sequences. The app uses long gamified sequences of tutorials to teach programming techniques and unlock more sound clips for use in more animations. Despite that available complexity though, there are some actions used by official animations that cannot be performed in customized sequences (if Optimus Prime is anything to go by, at least), such as a head nod or a full mode conversion.

:Given this piece's fragility, complexity, and high cost, it is appropriate that it is packaged in a heavy duty foam-padded carrying case, complete with clasps and a handle. But the case can't protect from paint wear issues that arise quickly via actual use. Grimlock's knuckles and feet will almost certainly instantly get severe scrape marks if he transforms on a rough surface like concrete, but even smooth unvarnished wood can wear the gloss off the paint before long. Even soft carpeting might not be safe, as some users of Optimus Prime have reported toppling issues due to a lack of traction. Grimlock ''is'' designed to be more stable thanks to his IMU, but heed caution all the same.

:Grimlock was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] on July 19, 2023, with orders set to ship out from both Pulse and Robosen's own online store in late Fall 2023. When revealed, Grimlock was made available at a special introductory price of $1500; this is set to last until September 30, at which point his regular price will go into place.

: The Grimlock PVC was re-released in the fourth act of the "Super Collection Figure" series, this time painted over entirely in metallics, with more toy-like gold replacing the yellow. He was available only as a rare "[[chase figure|Secret Figure]]", packed at a ''presumed'' ratio of one in every ten cases. (This ratio was given for Secret Figures in later Acts, and it seems unlikely it would change.)

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

*'''Grimlock''' (2003)

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

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

*'''Grimlock''' (2022)

:[[XM Studios]]' statue of Grimlock is nearly 40" tall, made of hand-painted porcelain. Grimlock has [[LED|light-up eyes]] and comes with alternate sets of arms that allow him to brandish his signature sword, gun, and... giant spiked mace? The mace and some of the color and detail choices on this statue suggest it mixes elements of both the G1 character and his [[Grimlock (AOE)|live-action movie counterpart]]. The set also includes a sculpted representation of Grimlock's dino mode that can be displayed next to the robot.

:399 pieces were produced, with a suggested price of about $1,900 US.

==Notes==
[[File:G2GrimlockArtwork.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Heavy Metal Greymon.]]
* Grimlock was originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "[[:File:DiacloneGrimlock.jpg|Dinosaur Robo Tyrannosaurus]]". The only differences between this incarnation and the ''Transformers'' release are that the ''Diaclone'' version has a silver-chromed sword and a blue crotch piece rather than red, as well as coming with a green-and-black Diaclone pilot figure.
* The original ''Diaclone'' commercial for the mold that became Grimlock showed him spewing fire from his mouth. So much for truth in advertising!
* There is (or ''was'') [[:File:Grimlock Natural History Museum.JPG|a Grimlock toy]] placed in the showcase in the dinosaur section of the {{w|Natural History Museum}} in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]]; oddly, this doesn't make him the [[Slag (G1)|only one]]. Sadly, however, he has since been removed from the display. Boo!
* Despite being released in three different color schemes during the ''Generation 2'' toyline, a piece of recolored card artwork—seemingly from the collection of a former [[Hasbro]] employee—has surfaced on [[eBay]] (alongside recolored artwork of [[:File:G2SwoopArtwork.jpg|Swoop]] and [[:File:G2SludgeBoxart.jpg|Sludge]]), showing what may have been an intended fourth version of the Grimlock toy for that line. Being bright yellow with teal stripes, it certainly ''looks'' very [[neon|'90s]], and would delight such fans when it reached fruition in a modern mold in [[2023]].
* [[T-Wrecks]] may have been intended to be a new form for Grimlock, based on the references in his tech spec bio to his ''Beast Wars'' "Attack Specialist" function and other hints. However, T-Wrecks' appearances in the [[3H Productions]] ''[[Transformers: Universe (comic)|Universe: The Wreckers]]'' comics suggest he is a new, unrelated character.
* A working name for the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Ford Mustang mold which ultimately ended up as Grimlock was "[[Freeway (G1)|Freeway]]", according to various early store listings.
* The [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] toy released in the [[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|''Energon'' toyline]] was originally created by [[Hasbro]] for release as a special new-mold addition for the [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'' toyline]], and was intended to represent Generation 1 Grimlock. However, it wasn't and it didn't for the combination of budgetary concerns and keeping the combination gimmick (since he combines with the packed-in [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]] to form "[[Mega-Dinobot]]") only in the ''Energon'' toyline, which had combination as a central theme.

:Grimlock's toy was originally part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' Dinosaur Robo series. When [[Hasbro]] imported the toy in 1985 for the ''Transformers'' line, its blue pelvis was changed to red, its sword was changed from chrome to flat red, the Diaclone driver mini-figure was dropped but still retained the cockpit though later releases had it permanently locked shut, and its teeth were altered [[for safety reasons]].

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

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

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

:His shell's head looks a lot like a younger {{w|Ed Asner}}, and also bears a passing resemblence to his voice actor, [[Gregg Berger]].

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

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

**''Accessories:'' Anti-tank cannon partner, "[[particle beam cannon]]"

:Part of the initial assortment of non-transforming [[Action Master]] figures, Grimlock's design combines his cartoon model with extra toy-based detailing. He came with the [[Anti-tank cannon]] "partner" machine which could be ridden by Grimlock (or any other Action Master) or unfolded via spring-loaded [[gimmick]] to form a really ''big'' hand-held "long-range mortar launcher". He is compatible with any other Action Master vehicle or weapon.

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

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

**''Alternator ID number:'' '''9'''
**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-10'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun, energo-sword
{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

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

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

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

**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, missile, removable tail
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Joe Kyde]] (deco artist), [[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}

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

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

:Grimlock's bayonet blaster (dubbed the "[[Guardian Blaster]]" in his [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 13|TFCC profile]]) can be deployed in either mode and fires a clear red projectile. Both weapons can be stored on his back when not used. As with most ''Classics'' toys, Grimlock features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]], placed on the left side of the tyrannosaurus torso/his left leg.

:A common complaint about the figure is the size of the peg that locks his arms in place being too small in relation to the peg-hole, making it difficult to keep transformed. The black shoulder flaps above this assembly are meant to tab into these and lock the whole thing together, but the flaps don't align properly and the tabs themselves are too short to even reach the slots. In addition, the bayonet blaster has a hair-trigger and his fist holes are a few fractions of a millimeter too small to accommodate standard 5mm peg accessories that most modern ''Transformers'' toys use.

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

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

:He includes a cannon and his trademark sword. In vehicle mode, the sword can peg onto the side of his rear treads, while the cannon can peg into the back of the cabin. The cannon has a joint on its connector so it can swivel around.

: ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei!

As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the heat sensitive rubsign seen on the ''Classics'' release, and instead features vacuum-metalized "chromed" plastic (in a similar [[gimmick]] to the ''Beast Wars'' [[Transmetal]]s toys). The vac-metal is used on his [[beast mode]] feet, as well as the ''Tyrannosaurus'' torso, which was, oddly enough, in Hasbro's original deco plan for ''Classics'' Grimlock.

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] (concept artist)}}

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

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

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

:When he was reissued, he came with a crown redecoed from the King Grimlock release and a new flame attachment to go over his sword.

*'''King Grimlock''' (December, 2009)
**''ID number:'' '''MP-8X'''
**''Accessories:'' Energo sword, twin 'stunner' lasers rifle, crown

:King Grimlock is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock with a color scheme based on his appearance in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Generation 1 Marvel comic]]. All of his previously flat gray surfaces are coated in silver paint, his gold chrome is more vibrant, and his previously black plastic is now a dark blue in reference to the limited color palette of the Marvel Comics issues, and the colorless chrome used for his tail and arms is now a light blue chrome. He also features some different paint applications: on his dinosaur chest, inside the clear panel on his robot mode chest, and on his robot mode knees. In addition, his toes are now metallic yellow instead of metallic gray. He also lacks the faceplate paint of the original Masterpiece Grimlock. His sword is also tinted orange rather than neutral clear, and the clear panel on his chest is clear dark green plastic instead of neutral clear. Curiously what were the red eyes in dinosaur mode on the original ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock are now the blue eyes on King Grimlock, and the blue eyes are now the red. The product also features the crown worn by Grimlock in the comics instead of the accessories from the cartoon, such as the waiter apron or the glasses. The [[package art]] is drawn in an homage to the early style of ''The Transformers'' published by Marvel Comics, as well as a bilingual ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' style [[bio]] on the back of the package.

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

His gray is darker, he features additional painted details on his thighs, biceps, and waist to mimic label stickers included on the original 1985 figure, the dark gray painted details on his robot mode toes are now gold, the dinosaur mode's toenails are now coated in a thick gold paint rather than the polished golden look of the TakaraTomy version, and the red paint used on the metal area on his crotch is a lighter shade, matching the adjacent red plastic less.

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

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

**''Series / number'': '''1 / #003'''
**''Accessories'': Sword, shield
{{note|''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Grimlock (WFC)#Generations|Grimlock]] was repurposed as Generation 1 Grimlock by ''Transformers Legends''.}}

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

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

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

**''Accessories:'' Sword

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

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

He retains the mace accessory, and its head, or the entire weapon, can be attached to Grimlock's dinosaur mode tail. Grimlock was packaged with [[Swoop (G1)#SDCCDinobots|Strafe]], [[Snarl (G1)#SDCCDinobots|Snarl]], and [[Slag (G1)#SDCCDinobots|Slug]], and their box unfolds into a diorama of the crashed [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] in [[Mount St. Hilary]].

:Part of the Generation 1-inspired 2014 Legion Class assortment, Grimlock is a redeco of ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' ''[[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' [[Rippersnapper (Prime)|Rippersnapper]], and transforms into a vaguely shark-like dragon, although his package art, recolored from the [[:File:MTMTE8 cvrRI.jpg|RI cover]] of [[Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|''More than Meets the Eye'' #8]], and the Hasbro website product description would have you believe that it's a mechanical ''T. rex''. Being the sixth use of the sculpt, it's starting to show instances of [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]], as several sections (such as the tabs that hold the robot mode torso together, or the parts of the beast mode neck formed by the robot mode feet) don't fit properly anymore.

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

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

:Available only in the "Grimlock Unleashed" set, both the buildable Grimlock and the Grimlock Kreon are based on the Generation One looks of the character, despite the other Kreons on the set being based on their Age of Extinction versions. The Kreon comes with his Energo-Sword and two optional helmets, a Sideswipe-style one and a crown based on the time Grimlock led the Autobots. Unlike other Kreons, Grimlock has his faceplate printed on the figure face instead of added by the helmet.

:It is incredibly poseable and well-built by Kre-O standards.

: This set popped up at Toys"R"Us a few short weeks after the initial product without any advance warning... and retailed for a mere $25, despite the size of the set.

**''Pieces'': '''18'''
**''Accessories'': Twin-cannon, left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles, left & right gun-pods, large rifle, flame-blast

: Part of the first (and only) wave of Electronic Action ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Grimlock is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints... and considerably larger than any other figure in the line at that. His design is based on his ''Age of Extinction'' counterpart, but also takes some cues and the coloration from the Generation 1 version of the character. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

: He is designed with a removable head, forelimbs, thighs, lower legs, and tail, 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.

: His large size is augmented by a large number of accessories and gimmicks. The signature electronic aspect is a light-up mouth, used to illuminate his "flame blast" accessory, or any other transparent accessory you care to stuff into his gaping maw. He also comes with two spring-loaded missile launchers.

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

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

: This set was initially released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Canada in October 2015, followed by Singapore a month later (although it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular store there or not). Much later, it became available via the Australian Toys"R"Us website (but never found in stores).

*'''Grimlock''' (Cyber Battalion, 2015)

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]'' Cyber Battalion class figures, this Voyager-sized mold of Grimlock transforms from robot to dinosaur and back. The figure has a far greater range of articulation than many other Cyber Series figure to date. A small switch on the back of his beast-mode head moves his jaw up and down.

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

:Like all of the ''Cyber Series'' figures, Grimlock initially 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. The line was later distributed in larger quantities by [[Walgreens]] stores in parts of the United States.

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

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

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

:The beast accessory released with Clobber also has more than a passing resemblance to [[Snarl (G1)#AM|Snarl]]'s [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] [[Action Master partner]] [[Tyrannitron]], though, whether this was an intentional nod or just pure coincidence, is yet to be seen.

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

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

{{toydesigner|[[Evan Brooks]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: Released to commemorate the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Grimlock is inspired by the ''Masterpiece'' figure, which hybridized the look of his appearance in [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the Generation 1 cartoon]] and his original toy, while sporting multiple aesthetic details unique to the ''Masterpiece'' toy. Because he is also influenced by the concurrently-ran ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', this Grimlock conforms to the trilogy's concerns for scale, making him the tallest Leader Class figure in the format.

: This figure comes with a non-transforming and slightly articulated [[Wheelie (G1)#Studio Series|Wheelie]] figurine (plus his slingshot) and Grimlock's rocket launcher, which can store on his back in ''T. rex'' mode.

: Grimlock's colors were subject to multiple changes (see right). Physical samples were not shown on the [[October 16]]th [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]] due to in-progress color changes by [[TakaraTomy]]. The original renders shown at the time had yellow parts, a clear chest panel, and an opaque dino neck, evoking the Generation 1 cartoon model. [[Hasbro]] stock photography somewhat reflected this, but the dino neck was made translucent-yellow instead to reveal inner details, much like the [[#The Transformers|Generation 1 toy]]. In the end, the final toy (used in TakaraTomy stock photography) featured gold paint instead of yellow, a translucent-black chest panel instead of clear (both of which closer evoke the original toy), and an opaque dino neck. Despite the translucent Generation 1 toy-styled neck feature being scrapped on the final toy, the neck halves are still molded in translucent plastic (the same translucent-black plastic used on his chest panel) and the detailed piece inside the neck assembly still remains, meaning one could remove the gold paint from the neck halves and salvage this feature for a more toy-accurate look.

: Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a diorama display for the figure. In this case, it is the Dinobots' famous (ahem) ''self-invited'' entrance at [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]'s execution.

: Grimlock was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Grimlock (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Grimlock]].

:Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' "Maximal Grimlock" is a retool of [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Generations|Dinobot]] from the same line, transforming from a robot mode based on Dinobot's ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon appearance into a ''[[Jurassic Park]]''-accurate ''Velociraptor'' in 28 steps. Grimlock features a new head based directly on Grimlock's (and therefore, Dinobot's) original ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' figure. Grimlock's hands have a [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] that can hold both his weapons and can close to hold objects. He also has 5 mm ports under his heels and one under his back-[[kibble]]. His tail can detach and split into two components: his Cyber Slash tail weapon, and his sword. If one chooses to, the 5 mm port on the hand or the hand's swivel joint can allow the Cyber Slash weapon to spin in his hand. The sword's tip is molded with the same texture as Grimlock's skin, presumably to better blend in as the tail tip in beast mode. Due to the Cyber Slash weapon connection, the sword cannot be held by other Transformers toys with traditional 5 mm port hands. The Cyber Slash weapon can store in robot mode by attaching to the same port as beast mode.

:Oddly for a modern ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' figure, Grimlock's ''Velociraptor'' mode features a deco that strays from the original ''Beast Wars'' toy and ''[[Transformers: Dinobots|Dinobots]]'' [[Grimlock (Dinobots)#Toys|Grimlock]]'s decoes and includes some particularly odd choices like leaving the fake "eyes" on the chest unpainted, but painting exactly ''half'' the knee section white, despite that portion being mostly concealed in beast mode.

:And in what can be considered a surprise, Grimlock is mentioned in Hasbro's official description for the figure to be inspired by the character's appearance in ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]''!<ref>[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-kingdom-battle-across-time-collection-deluxe-wfc-k40-autobot-mirage-maximal-grimlock "Beast Wars: Uprising-inspired Maximal Grimlock toy converts from robot to raptor mode in 28 steps"]</ref> Even though his [[Beast mode#Beast Wars: Uprising|Beast Upgrade]] appearance was never shown.

:The nylon plastic used for Grimlock's shoulder joints, thigh joints, and forearms has been reported to yellow quickly over time.

:Revealed on [https://www.instagram.com/p/COvYKODJgGf/ #TransformersTuesday], Grimlock was released with [[Mirage (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Autobot Mirage]] as a part of the "Battle Across Time Collection". Though similar to the ''Siege'' "Final Strike Figure Series", being exclusive multi-packs with package art that combines into a larger piece, the "Battle Across Time Collection" label is printed on the box. The two-pack is exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the US, and in the UK on Hasbro Pulse and several online retailers. Initially set for a [[January 29]], [[2022]] release by TakaraTomy, the 2-pack was delayed to March 2022.

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' Core Class toys, Grimlock is a miniature version of the famous Dinobot leader, converting into a blocky ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. Part of his beast mode tail detaches to become a twin-barrelled gun in robot mode. Grimlock also forms the left leg for Volcanicus, the first combiner released within the Core Class scale. He's probably disappointed at not forming the torso... Similar to how [[Goryu (G1)|Goryu]] is the leader of the [[Dinoforce]], but only forms the left leg of [[Dinoking]]. Hmmm... Like Snarl, the underneath of Grimlock's crotch features an H-shaped-ish port, most likely used for a foot panel like Monstructor/Dinoking does.

: Due to being connected with the frame that holds the dino body/arms and head, the combiner knee joint may cause it to bend up due to how (slightly) tight the construction is. While Grimlock's combiner peg can be attached to any of the thighs, he is ''only'' designed to attach to the left side, given the joint's placement, and the cavity on Grimlock's left robot foot providing clearance on the gestalt's thigh panels (the left half of Sludge's robot legs/rear tail).

: His stock photography is mistransformed, the legs can flip around to form a better-looking tail, reducing the amount of kibble hanging off his back section.

: Grimlock and the other Core Class figures from his wave arrived at US retail ''less than a week'' after their initial reveal.

===Robosen Collector's Edition===
*'''Grimlock Auto-Converting Robot''' (2023)
**''Accessories:'' carrying case, galaxial rocket launcher, energon sword, crown, wall charger, USB-C to USB 2.0 cable, [[collector coin]]

:The third entry in Robosen's series of G1-style ''Transformers'' robots, this Grimlock is a highly-interactive, programmable transforming robot. Made with 85 microchips, 37 servo motors, and a 6-axis IMU, and capable of speaking over 150 voicelines (all newly-recorded by [[Gregg Berger]]), Grimlock straddles the line between "toy" and "high-end showroom electronics" like the other Robosen robots... though it ''definitely'' leans more towards the latter, given that Robosen not only touts Grimlock as "The World's First Dual-form, Bipedal Walking Robot," but his regular asking price is also an absurd '''$1700'''. Using either voice commands or a companion iOS/Android bluetooth app interface, users can control Grimlock's movements by either using pre-programmed commands or creating movement routines of their own. From an aesthetic perspective, on the other hand, this Grimlock is essentially a 15" tall upscale of his Masterpiece figure, down to various sculpted details that were seemingly recreated 1:1.

:Grimlock is primarily powered by an internal lithium ion battery, charged via a USB-C connection. Based on [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robosen Collector's Edition|Optimus Prime]], the LEDs for Grimlock's Galaxial Rocket Launcher and "energon sword" are likely powered by a replaceable CR 1220 3V battery.

:Like Optimus Prime before him, the voice command that triggers Grimlock's transformation is officially "[[convert]]", but "transform" works just the same. All told, Grimlock has 42 built-in voice commands he can respond to, from simple movement commands like turning left or right to actions like leaning forward and roaring in dino mode. Carried over from Robosen's [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Robosen|Bumblebee]] is "mini-theater" mode, a selection of longer pre-programmed action sequences with matching sounds, with sequences featuring Grimlock either by himself or with other Robosen G1 robots available to pick from. Considering that Robosen continually rolled out new commands and firmware updates for Optimus Prime for months after his release with no clear end date, Grimlock will more than likely recieve additional commands for some time after his release.

:37 servo motors is definitely a ''lot'', but that effort was moreso put into ensuring Grimlock can transform and remain balanced while doing so – compared to contemporary 1st-party figures costing ''over a thousand dollars less'', Grimlock's robot mode lacks basic neck and wrist rotation, and his legs are incapable of rotating such that his feet can point any direction other than straight forward. Dino mode likewise has a notable sacrifice: while his ''T. rex'' neck can rotate a bit to the left or right and his head can look up and down, this comes at the cost of no arm articulation whatsoever.

:When asked to turn right or left in robot mode, Grimlock is not able to perform that action in two or three normal steps with ankle and hip rotation like a human would. He lacks any leg joints that rotate around a vertical axis, so for him to rotate his body to the right, he must perform a startling stutter shuffle move. He pushes one foot out slightly forward, the other foot slightly backward, and maintains that orientation while rapidly sliding his legs together and apart more than once per second until the asymmetrical rapid sliding friction of his feet against the floor eventually scoots him into facing a different direction. This movement can wear out the paint on his inner soles pretty fast, even on smoother surfaces.

:Sadly, Grimlock shares the same inability to stand in robot mode without power as Optimus Prime – when turned off, Grimlock will lean forward and rest his robot arms and legs on the ground. Dino mode fares better, as he ''will'' stay standing up when he's powered off... but as his joints have now gone limp, he's liable to tip or slouch at the slightest bit of disturbance, so if you do decide to put him on display in this mode, make sure he's somewhere ''very'' stable.

:Grimlock's pre-programmed animation set assumes his rocket launcher is in his right hand and his sword in his left. There aren't any sensors to detect whether they and/or the crown are in place, so it's best to avoid, say, <strike>transforming</strike> converting Grimlock while they're in place. On a lighter note, Grimlock is capable of wearing the crown in both modes, meaning it no matter whether he robot or dino – Grimlock always king!

:The app-controlled motion programming interface is extremely complex. The position of each joint at each step in an animation can be dictated either with numerical parameters, or by sensing the positions of the joints on the toy during programming. Many poses can be strung together to form long action sequences. The app uses long gamified sequences of tutorials to teach programming techniques and unlock more sound clips for use in more animations. Despite that available complexity though, there are some actions used by official animations that cannot be performed in customized sequences (if Optimus Prime is anything to go by, at least), such as a head nod or a full mode conversion.

:Given this piece's fragility, complexity, and high cost, it is appropriate that it is packaged in a heavy duty foam-padded carrying case, complete with clasps and a handle. But the case can't protect from paint wear issues that arise quickly via actual use. Grimlock's knuckles and feet will almost certainly instantly get severe scrape marks if he transforms on a rough surface like concrete, but even smooth unvarnished wood can wear the gloss off the paint before long. Even soft carpeting might not be safe, as some users of Optimus Prime have reported toppling issues due to a lack of traction. Grimlock ''is'' designed to be more stable thanks to his IMU, but heed caution all the same.

:Grimlock was revealed on [[Hasbro Pulse]] on July 19, 2023, with orders set to ship out from both Pulse and Robosen's own online store in late Fall 2023. When revealed, Grimlock was made available at a special introductory price of $1500; this is set to last until September 30, at which point his regular price will go into place.

===Bouncing Ball Heads===
[[File:BouncingBallHead Grimlock.jpg|upright=1.22|thumb]]
*'''Grimlock''' (2017)
:"Bouncing Ball Head" Grimlock is a small, super deformed figurine with a removable head that doubles as a bouncy ball. Despite having a completely round head and a somewhat humanoid body shared by all figurines in this collection, Grimlock's tampographed face is based on a front view of his dino mode head, resulting in a very unsettling appearance. An Autobot logo is tampographed on the back of his head and his name is written under his feet.

:He is (apparently) available in both gacha-style machines and in an 8-pack with the whole collection, and comes inside a spherical capsule with a unique dark gray color.

:Despite clearly representing Generation 1 characters, the collection is advertised as a 2015 ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' product.

**''Accessories'' Energo Sword, Twin Laser Rifle

:Released in the first wave of [[Super7]]'s line of multi-property 3.75-inch "retro" action figures, ''[[Super7#ReAction|ReAction]]'' Grimlock is a non-converting 3 3/4-inch action figure based on his appearance in the original cartoon, with five points of articulation (swivel neck, shoulders, hips) and holes in his feet for use with some variety of stand. Unlike most figures in the line, he comes with two accessories instead of just one, and both of this hands can hold an accessory.

: As with all releases in the ''ReAction'' toyline, Grimlock comes packaged on a small cardback that emulates the nostalgic packaging style of [[Kenner]]'s ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' action figures from the late 1970s to early '80s.

{{-}}{{anchor|ReActionDino}}
*'''Grimlock''' (2022)

: This depiction of Grimlock, released in the fifth wave of the ''ReAction'' line, has him in his dinosaur mode, taking up a significantly larger chunk of cardback real estate and requiring a much deeper bubble.

: It retains the "five points of articulation" theme, as this figure lacks neck articulation, but instead has a jointed jaw for talky-talky or bitey-bitey action, which we can all agree is awesome. ''Jawsome'', if you will. We'll give you props for that, Super7.

*'''Grimlock G2''' (2022)

: This [[redeco]] of the above dino-mode Grimlock figure is now redone in rich blue, to match his ''Generation 2'' toy color scheme (or one of them, anyway). However, he still has the original Autobot faction symbol on his chest rather than the ''Generation 2'' version, which isn't ''not'' accurate to the original toy really, but still.

: He was released as part of the fifth round of [[Target]]-exclusive ''ReAction'' figures, alongside the similarly-toy-based "[[Galvatron (G1)/toys#ReActionGray|Galvatron G1]]" figure.

==Notes==
[[File:G2GrimlockArtwork.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Heavy Metal Greymon.]]
* Grimlock was originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "[[:File:DiacloneGrimlock.jpg|Dinosaur Robo Tyrannosaurus]]". The only differences between this incarnation and the ''Transformers'' release are that the ''Diaclone'' version has a silver-chromed sword and a blue crotch piece rather than red, as well as coming with a green-and-black Diaclone pilot figure.
* The original ''Diaclone'' commercial for the mold that became Grimlock showed him spewing fire from his mouth. So much for truth in advertising!
* There is (or ''was'') [[:File:Grimlock Natural History Museum.JPG|a Grimlock toy]] placed in the showcase in the dinosaur section of the {{w|Natural History Museum}} in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]]; oddly, this doesn't make him the [[Slag (G1)|only one]]. Sadly, however, he has since been removed from the display. Boo!
* Despite being released in three different color schemes during the ''Generation 2'' toyline, a piece of recolored card artwork—seemingly from the collection of a former [[Hasbro]] employee—has surfaced on [[eBay]] (alongside recolored artwork of [[:File:G2SwoopArtwork.jpg|Swoop]] and [[:File:G2SludgeBoxart.jpg|Sludge]]), showing what may have been an intended fourth version of the Grimlock toy for that line. Being bright yellow with teal stripes, it certainly ''looks'' very [[neon|'90s]], and would delight such fans when it reached fruition in a modern mold in [[2023]].
* [[T-Wrecks]] may have been intended to be a new form for Grimlock, based on the references in his tech spec bio to his ''Beast Wars'' "Attack Specialist" function and other hints. However, T-Wrecks' appearances in the [[3H Productions]] ''[[Transformers: Universe (comic)|Universe: The Wreckers]]'' comics suggest he is a new, unrelated character.
* A working name for the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Ford Mustang mold which ultimately ended up as Grimlock was "[[Freeway (G1)|Freeway]]", according to various early store listings.
* The [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] toy released in the [[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|''Energon'' toyline]] was originally created by [[Hasbro]] for release as a special new-mold addition for the [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'' toyline]], and was intended to represent Generation 1 Grimlock. However, it wasn't and it didn't for the combination of budgetary concerns and keeping the combination gimmick (since he combines with the packed-in [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]] to form "[[Mega-Dinobot]]") only in the ''Energon'' toyline, which had combination as a central theme.

Magnoburst:

{{factions|autobot}}
Magnoburst is an [[Autobot]]. He is armed with a fusion rifle and powerful artillery cannons mounted on his shoulders. Although he is somewhat dim-witted he still gave his all fighting the great war. Shortly before the Autobots set out to earth on the [[Ark]] he was taken away by [[Vector Prime]] to help supervise the [[Universal stream]]s. If you ask him why he was chosen he will say that it was because he was the most qualified (That is a lie that Vector told him to make him feel better). This new job as assistant to the guardian of time quickly grew boring. One day he saw vector prime interacting with the people of the [[Quadwal]] universal stream through a social media site. He decided to do something similar make an account on tfwiki. And the rest is history. He is currently having his portrait taken. In his opinion the [[IDW]] versions of characters should have entirely separate pages to their [[G1]] counterparts.

{{disambig3|Slug}}
:''Slug is an [[Autobot]] [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobot]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:FOC-Slugart.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Beat [[wiki:The Land Before Time|Cera]] for "Snarkiest Ceratopsian 2013"]]

While '''Slug''' is the most technically minded [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobot]], he has some anger issues. Temper control is not remarkable [[Grimlock (WFC)|to anyone familiar with the team]], but Slug takes it in a different direction. Being extremely passive-aggressive rather than suffering from explosive rage, he constantly looks for opportunities to get sarcastic digs in at those around him. Slug is not particularly bothered with who they are, whether they be friends, enemies, or just people with tremendously bad timing. All suffer snarky and sometimes cruel jabs in response to anything they say or do. This makes Slug one of the hardest Dinobots for outsiders to relate to.

Unfortunately, this bad attitude is backed up by phenomenal stubbornness. Slug takes the straightest path in life and enjoys testing his strength against any challenger. He believes that victory through strength is what life is all about, and no amount of coaxing, reason, logic, debate, or threats will convince him otherwise. He would literally rather slam his head against a solid wall than find a way around it.

The only thing that can keep the belligerent Slug in line is his enormous respect for his leader Grimlock, and while he may not do it with any good graces, he will always follow Grimlock's lead. That said, Grimlock is as much a target for jibes and ridicule as anyone else. Whether this is wise given Grimlock's self-control issues is irrelevant, as Slug never lets an opportunity to mock his leader pass him by.

This overall belligerence may be why more than any of the others, Slug is one with his dinosaur form. It has gotten to the point where he has begun to despise his [[robot mode]] as a weak necessity. For him, Shockwave's experiments did not so much change him as allow his body to truly reflect the person inside: big, angry, and with a head thicker than the hull of a ship.

==Fiction==
===IDW Aligned comics===
Slug and the rest of the [[Lightning Strike Coalition]] were Autobots under the command of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], although they visibly chafed under his cautious and conservative approach to warfare. Although ordered to return to base, when leader [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] discovered that [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]] was in Decepticon custody, Grimlock ignored Optimus Prime's orders and broke rank to hijack a dropship. {{storylink|Good Intentions}} The group managed to track Swoop's signal to the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]], where they prepared to attack [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]'s tower. {{storylink|Secrets (FOC)|Secrets}} They stormed the base head-on, encountering minimal resistance... until they ran afoul of the multitude of [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]]s swarming Shockwave's installation. They nonetheless managed to muscle their way to Swoop, and released him from a harness he was being held in. At this juncture, Slug asked Grimlock if he wanted to simply spirit Swoop away and report their findings to Prime, or to continue their assault and hope to raze the entire Decepticon operation. Grimlock, realizing they had stumbled unto something big, ordered a retreat, only for Shockwave to appear in person, backed up by innumerable more Insecticons. These enemy reinforcements overwhelmed the Lightning Strike Coalition. {{storylink|Siege Mentality}} Though Grimlock managed to struggle free and engage Shockwave as his teammates were carted away by the Insecticons, the Coalition's leader proved no match for the Decepticon scientist. Once the whole team had been defeated, Shockwave began in earnest his experiments on Slug and the others. {{storylink|Last Stand (FOC)|Last Stand}} All five members of the Coalition were strung up, painfully vivisected, and altered. By giving them new alternate modes, based off of [[Earth|alien]] [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|creatures]] he had observed through a window in space-time, Shockwave hoped to turn Slug and the others into mindless killing machines for the Decepticons to exploit. {{storylink|Fragmentation (FOC)|Fragmentation}}

In time, Grimlock managed to escape Shockwave's control, and met back up with his teammates. Slug and Swoop informed Grimlock that the Decepticons' plans revolved around a space bridge tower, where their leader confronted Shockwave. Together, the Lightning Strike Coalition, now calling themselves the Dinobots, held onto their identities and swore to continue protecting Cybertron. {{storylink|Fall}}

After both Optimus and Megatron had left Cybertron behind, Slug and the Dinobots helped convoys of Autobot ships in escaping the planet, while Decepticon saboteurs impeded these efforts. As one of the last convoys escaped Cybertron's atmosphere, Ultra Magnus's shuttle was downed and crashed off in the distance. Slug was hesitant to come to Magnus's rescue, arguing that he was among many Autobots that thought less of the Dinobots after they had been altered with beast modes. But Grimlock convinced his team to go out and retrieve their comrade nonetheless, so that they could prove to all that they were still Autobots through and through. Upon arriving at the crash site, the Dinobots were attacked by [[Backbite (Prime)|Backbite]], one of the long-thought-lost [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacons]]. The monster managed to down Swoop and capture him, though the rest of the Dinobots were unable to pursue immediately; they first had to contend with Grimlock, who had slipped into a primordial rage upon transforming into his Tyrannosaurus mode. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 1|Rage of the Dinobots #1}}

Slug simmered as the other Dinobots put their brains together to track down their captive teammates, having to be reminded by Sludge that their priority was to stage a rescue mission, and not to simply get revenge on their opponents. Using the computer on Magnus's ship, they tracked its owner to a prison in the Sea of Rust. Though Slug wasn't quite ready to accept that their opponents were the mythical "[[Forged]]," Grimlock assured him that previous reports had confirmed their existence. Taking the news lightly, Slug quipped that the prison, seemingly lax in defenses, might be protected by the Forged's "magic powers." The Dinobots still broke in with relative ease, Slug noting that the Forged weren't nearly as tough as the stories made them out to be, and managed to liberate the 'bots held within. Now reunited with Ultra Magnus, the group then fought their way to the prison's roof, where they were confronted by Shockwave's lieutenant, [[Ser-Ket (Prime)|Ser-Ket]], and a brainwashed Swoop. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 2|Rage of the Dinobots #2}}

Desperate to win back Swoop's freedom, Grimlock challenged Ser-Ket to a one-on-one fight, waging himself and the rest of the Dinobots against the freedom of their wayward teammate. Ser-Ket agreed to his challenge, and Slug created a fire-ring for them to duel in with the help of the other remaining Dinobots. Grimlock ultimately arose victorious by using his Tyrannosaurus mode's primal rage, and even managed to restore Swoop to his senses with some percussive maintenance. The Dinobots then readied themselves to take their leave, only for Ser-Ket to ambush Grimlock while his back was turned, and carry him up into the skies. Though Slug, Snarl, and Sludge tried to shoot her down, it was Swoop who rescued the Dinobot Commander by taking to the air himself. Ser-Ket was brought down, and Slug watched on as Grimlock skewered her head, deactivating her permanently. Though the ordeal seemed at an end, the Dinobots were then approached by Shockwave. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 3|Rage of the Dinobots #3}}

Though the Dinobots and Ultra Magnus unleashed all of the firepower at their disposal against the new arrival, Shockwave managed to take them all out by strategic use of a force-field and an EMP. While Slug and the others were put under guard in a force-field-enclosed cell, Grimlock was brought to Shockwave's operating theater to be stripped of his sentience once and for all. Slug and Ultra Magnus staged a fight between themselves to trick their guards into lowering the force-field holding them captive, threatening the continued existence of Shockwave's future test-subjects. Slug then trounced the guards, and the Dinobots bashed their way into Shockwave's lab. Together, they then tore Shockwave to shreds. Unfortunately, this turned out to merely be an avatar of the real Shockwave, as the Dinobots learned while releasing Grimlock's restraints. Afterwards, the Dinobots saw Ultra Magnus off-planet, telling him they planned to stay behind so as to continue helping whatever Cybertronians still lingered on the dying planet, as well as continue their hunt for Shockwave. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 4|Rage of the Dinobots #4}}

As the Dinobots managed to find more and more survivors on their dying world, Grimlock was took up the role of their king, and was left with the burden of hearing out their many petitions and grievances. Slug interrupted one of these sessions to inform Grimlock that the bodies of the Forged from the attack on [[New Kalis]] were ready for him to look over. {{storylink|Beast Hunters issue 1|Beast Hunters #1}} Some time later, the Dinobots moved to the settlement of [[Last Spark]]. Slug became worried when Grimlock and Swoop didn't return from one of their patrols on schedule, but before he could go looking for them, Last Spark came under attack from a group of organic dinosaurs. Slug locked horns with his counterpart, but found that his doppelgänger was stronger than it first appeared. In order to more effectively battle the beasts, the Dinobots swapped opponents, only for the creatures to self-destruct mid-battle. Grimlock later explained that he and Swoop had accidentally released the Dinosaurs while exploring one of Shockwave's abandoned labs, and that the creatures had been created from the same templates that Shockwave had used for their beast modes. {{storylink|Beast Hunters issue 4|Beast Hunters #4}}

While on an Energon gathering mission, Slug and Sludge felt a planet-wide quake rock Cybertron. After barely avoiding being crushed by the tremor, Slug suddenly found himself re-energized in its aftermath. Both Dinobots then realized that the cavern they were in had been completely restructured by the mysterious event. Unfortunately, this meant the path they had previously taken no longer existed. Slug attempted to muscle his way through the wall that had just sprung up behind them, only to find it immovable. Sludge convinced Slug to instead try and make their way to New Spark through a different path, and ask for help there. As they made their way through the subterranean maze, Sludge heard someone calling for help. Slug volunteered to investigate, only to find that the pleas were coming from a Forged, trapped under some rubble. Against his better judgement, Slug helped the Decepticon free himself under the pretense that he was arresting him. {{storylink|Beast Hunters issue 5|Beast Hunters #5}} Slug brought Blackout back to Sludge, and told his fellow Dinobot to patch up their "prisoner" to ensure he didn't die before he could face trial. Slug wound up using his fire-breath to cauterize Blackout's leg, then began carrying the injured 'bot as the group resumed its trek. As they attempted to cross a slick and narrow bridge though, Slug slipped and nearly dropped Blackout into the chasm bellow. While retrieving him, Slug injured his leg. With two members of the group now unable to walk, Slug instructed Sludge to go on ahead while the infirm would wait for him to return with help. Sludge complied. {{storylink|Beast Hunters issue 6|Beast Hunters #6}} As free-flowing energon found its way to Slug, the Dinobot was able to re-energize himself. Blackout's injuries were too severe, however, and the Decepticon expired. Slug resumed heading for the surface, where he found Grimlock among a crowd of other survivors. Before they could all get caught up, an army of Forged came charging towards them, guns ablaze. The Dinobots charged back, only for the battle to be interrupted by a Predacon bursting forth from the underground. The beast was sent fleeing when Sludge finally joined the battle, bringing reinforcements along with him: [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]]! {{storylink|Beast Hunters issue 7|Beast Hunters #7}}

The Autobots headed for Kaon together, battling their way through the Forged army. But once the Decepticons had been dealt with, the Predacon resurfaced. The Autobots split into groups to head to [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], with Slug, Bulkhead, and Firestar leading one group of survivors. Swoop drew off the Predacon when it attacked, allowing Slug and the other to reach Kaon. There, Grimlock announced that Dinobots wouldn't be able to help with Kaon, as they would be building a new city for the survivors: [[New Spark]]. {{storylink|Beast Hunters issue 8|Beast Hunters #8}}

Slug and the rest of the [[Lightning Strike Coalition]] deserted their post defending the Ark when they detected strange energy readings in the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]]. The energy readings were caused by [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]'s [[space bridge]] experiments at the [[energon lake]], and when they arrived, they came under attack by [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticons]] and were overwhelmed. Shockwave took the time to experiment on them, giving them primitive dinosaur forms. Slug broke free and trashed the lab he was in, melting a hole in the floor which he departed through.

* '''Dinobot Slug''' (Battle Upgrade, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''15'''
**''Accessories'': Twin-blaster, 2 multi-blasters, "Snarl" tail

: Part of the second wave of "Battle Upgrade" ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Slug is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

: He is designed with a removable head, forelegs, thighs, lower legs, and tail, 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.

: While most Battle Upgrade figures come with a wealth of accessories, Slug is a bit of an aberration. He comes with relatively few extra bits, but is a lot bulkier than most ''Hero Mashers'' figures. The lack of extra parts can also be attributed to the fact that his head is actually made up of ''three'' pieces, with the sides of his neck-frill held in place by standard accessory pegs/holes. Do with this information what you will. He does have the standard "extra character part" though, his being [[Snarl (FOC)#Hero Mashers|Snarl]]'s tail.

==Notes==
*This is the second new name assigned to a new incarnation of Generation 1 [[Slag (G1)|Slag]]; the first was "Snarl" (as in [[Snarl (Animated)|''Animated'' Snarl]] and ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' [[Slag (G1)/toys#Robot Heroes|Snarl]], both of whom borrowed the name from [[Snarl (G1)|Generation 1 Snarl]]).
*In addition to referring to a round of ammunition or a swift smack across the face, the word "slug" is used by blacksmiths to describe the hot, leftover piece of metal that is punched out when they need to make a hole in something. All of this is rather apt when considering Generation 1 Slag's personality.
*Slug has an Infiltrator body type. As such, Slug's [[beast mode]] head is available as a Predator-type component for Infiltrator-class characters in ''Fall of Cybertron'' multiplayer.
*Ironically, while Generation 1 Slag was always seen as the surliest Dinobot with the least amount of respect for Optimus Prime, Aligned Slug is the first Dinobot to declare the group should contact Optimus Prime for assistance during the assault on Shockwave's Space Bridge, even going as far as to do so without his leader's acknowledgement.

:Grimlock's toy was originally part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' Dinosaur Robo series. When [[Hasbro]] imported the toy in 1985 for the ''Transformers'' line, its blue pelvis was changed to red, its sword was changed from chrome to flat red, the Diaclone driver mini-figure was dropped but still retained the cockpit though later releases had it permanently locked shut, and its teeth were altered [[for safety reasons]].

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

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

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

:His shell's head looks a lot like a younger {{w|Ed Asner}}, and also bears a passing resemblence to his voice actor, [[Gregg Berger]].

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

**''Alternator ID number:'' '''9'''
**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-10'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun, energo-sword
{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro)}}

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

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

**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, missile, removable tail
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Joe Kyde]] (deco artist), [[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}

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

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

:Grimlock's bayonet blaster (dubbed the "[[Guardian Blaster]]" in his [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 13|TFCC profile]]) can be deployed in either mode and fires a clear red projectile. Both weapons can be stored on his back when not used. As with most ''Classics'' toys, Grimlock features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]], placed on the left side of the tyrannosaurus torso/his left leg.

:A common complaint about the figure is the size of the peg that locks his arms in place being too small in relation to the peg-hole, making it difficult to keep transformed. The black shoulder flaps above this assembly are meant to tab into these and lock the whole thing together, but the flaps don't align properly and the tabs themselves are too short to even reach the slots. In addition, the bayonet blaster has a hair-trigger and his fist holes are a few fractions of a millimeter too small to accommodate standard 5mm peg accessories that most modern ''Transformers'' toys use.

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

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

:He includes a cannon and his trademark sword. In vehicle mode, the sword can peg onto the side of his rear treads, while the cannon can peg into the back of the cabin. The cannon has a joint on its connector so it can swivel around.

Of all the Masterpiece figures, Grimlock features both the least complex transformation, as well as the least deviation from his original toy's essential [[transformation|transformation scheme]].

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

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

:When he was reissued, he came with a crown redecoed from the King Grimlock release and a new flame attachment to go over his sword.

**''Accessories:'' Energo sword, twin 'stunner' lasers rifle, crown

:King Grimlock is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock with a color scheme based on his appearance in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Generation 1 Marvel comic]]. All of his previously flat gray surfaces are coated in silver paint, his gold chrome is more vibrant, and his previously black plastic is now a dark blue in reference to the limited color palette of the Marvel Comics issues, and the colorless chrome used for his tail and arms is now a light blue chrome. He also features some different paint applications: on his dinosaur chest, inside the clear panel on his robot mode chest, and on his robot mode knees. In addition, his toes are now metallic yellow instead of metallic gray. He also lacks the faceplate paint of the original Masterpiece Grimlock. His sword is also tinted orange rather than neutral clear, and the clear panel on his chest is clear dark green plastic instead of neutral clear. Curiously what were the red eyes in dinosaur mode on the original ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock are now the blue eyes on King Grimlock, and the blue eyes are now the red. The product also features the crown worn by Grimlock in the comics instead of the accessories from the cartoon, such as the waiter apron or the glasses. The [[package art]] is drawn in an homage to the early style of ''The Transformers'' published by Marvel Comics, as well as a bilingual ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' style [[bio]] on the back of the package.

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

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

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

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

{{note|''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Grimlock (WFC)#Generations|Grimlock]] was repurposed as Generation 1 Grimlock by ''Transformers Legends''.}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

: Part of the first (and only) wave of Electronic Action ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Grimlock is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints... and considerably larger than any other figure in the line at that. His design is based on his ''Age of Extinction'' counterpart, but also takes some cues and the coloration from the Generation 1 version of the character. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

: He is designed with a removable head, forelimbs, thighs, lower legs, and tail, 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.

: His large size is augmented by a large number of accessories and gimmicks. The signature electronic aspect is a light-up mouth, used to illuminate his "flame blast" accessory, or any other transparent accessory you care to stuff into his gaping maw. He also comes with two spring-loaded missile launchers.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]'' Cyber Battalion class figures, this Voyager-sized mold of Grimlock transforms from robot to dinosaur and back. The figure has a far greater range of articulation than many other Cyber Series figure to date. A small switch on the back of his beast-mode head moves his jaw up and down.

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

:Like all of the ''Cyber Series'' figures, Grimlock initially 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.

Clobber features a new head piece based on ''Generation 1'' Grimlock's animation model. [[Hasbro]] stated at [[BotCon 2016]] that Clobber ''is'' Grimlock himself, leaving the reasons for his name unclear, but some kind of attempt to avoid confusion with the contemporaneous ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Grimlock (RID_2015)|character]] seems a likely explanation. Clobber features peg holes in his feet to allow him to stand on a variety of ''Titans Return'' figures, and is packaged with a beast accessory with three modes: a dragon for Clobber to ride, a ''T. rex'' formed by combining with Clobber, or a 5mm-compatible gun for larger figures. His new face piece was molded in black plastic, rather than gunmetal. Clobber gives his larger partners super strength.

He also includes two pieces of Prime Armor that each can hold a [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]] (and by extension, an [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]] or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and attach to his forearms as battle claws. These also double as feet for Volcanicus.

{{toydesigner|[[Evan Brooks]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released to commemorate the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', ''[[Studio Series]]'' Grimlock is inspired by the ''Masterpiece'' figure, which hybridized the look of his appearance in [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the Generation 1 cartoon]] and his original toy, while sporting multiple aesthetic details unique to the ''Masterpiece'' toy. Because he is also influenced by the concurrently-ran ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', this Grimlock conforms to the trilogy's concerns for scale, making him the tallest Leader Class figure in the format.

: This figure comes with a non-transforming and slightly articulated [[Wheelie (G1)#Studio Series|Wheelie]] figurine (plus his slingshot) and Grimlock's rocket launcher, which can store on his back in ''T. rex'' mode.

: Grimlock's colors were subject to multiple changes (see right). Physical samples were not shown on the [[October 16]]th [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]] due to in-progress color changes by [[TakaraTomy]]. The original renders shown at the time had yellow parts, a clear chest panel, and an opaque dino neck, evoking the Generation 1 cartoon model. [[Hasbro]] stock photography somewhat reflected this, but the dino neck was made translucent-yellow instead to reveal inner details, much like the [[#The Transformers|Generation 1 toy]]. In the end, the final toy (used in TakaraTomy stock photography) featured gold paint instead of yellow, a translucent-black chest panel instead of clear (both of which closer evoke the original toy), and an opaque dino neck. Despite the translucent Generation 1 toy-styled neck feature being scrapped on the final toy, the neck halves are still molded in translucent plastic (the same translucent-black plastic used on his chest panel) and the detailed piece inside the neck assembly still remains, meaning one could remove the gold paint from the neck halves and salvage this feature for a more toy-accurate look.

: Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a diorama display for the figure. In this case, it is the Dinobots' famous (ahem) ''self-invited'' entrance at [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]'s execution.

: Grimlock was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Grimlock (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Grimlock]].

:Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' "Maximal Grimlock" is a retool of [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Generations|Dinobot]] from the same line, transforming from a robot mode based on Dinobot's ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon appearance into a ''[[Jurassic Park]]''-accurate ''Velociraptor'' in 28 steps. Grimlock features a new head based directly on Grimlock's (and therefore, Dinobot's) original ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' figure. Grimlock's hands have a [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] that can hold both his weapons and can close to hold objects. He also has 5 mm ports under his heels and one under his back-[[kibble]]. His tail can detach and split into two components: his Cyber Slash tail weapon, and his sword. If one chooses to, the 5 mm port on the hand or the hand's swivel joint can allow the Cyber Slash weapon to spin in his hand. The sword's tip is molded with the same texture as Grimlock's skin, presumably to better blend in as the tail tip in beast mode. Due to the Cyber Slash weapon connection, the sword cannot be held by other Transformers toys with traditional 5 mm port hands. The Cyber Slash weapon can store in robot mode by attaching to the same port as beast mode.

:Oddly for a modern ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' figure, Grimlock's ''Velociraptor'' mode features a deco that strays from the original ''Beast Wars'' toy and ''[[Transformers: Dinobots|Dinobots]]'' [[Grimlock (Dinobots)#Toys|Grimlock]]'s decoes and includes some particularly odd choices like leaving the fake "eyes" on the chest unpainted, but painting exactly ''half'' the knee section white, despite that portion being mostly concealed in beast mode.

:And in what can be considered a surprise, Grimlock is mentioned in Hasbro's official description for the figure to be inspired by the character's appearance in ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]''!<ref>[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-kingdom-battle-across-time-collection-deluxe-wfc-k40-autobot-mirage-maximal-grimlock "Beast Wars: Uprising-inspired Maximal Grimlock toy converts from robot to raptor mode in 28 steps"]</ref> Even though his [[Beast mode#Beast Wars: Uprising|Beast Upgrade]] appearance was never shown.

:The nylon plastic used for Grimlock's shoulder joints, thigh joints, and forearms has been reported to yellow quickly over time.

:Revealed on [https://www.instagram.com/p/COvYKODJgGf/ #TransformersTuesday], Grimlock was released with [[Mirage (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Autobot Mirage]] as a part of the "Battle Across Time Collection". Though similar to the ''Siege'' "Final Strike Figure Series", being exclusive multi-packs with package art that combines into a larger piece, the "Battle Across Time Collection" label is printed on the box. The two-pack is exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the US, and in the UK on Hasbro Pulse and several online retailers. Initially set for a [[January 29]], [[2022]] release by TakaraTomy, the 2-pack was delayed to March 2022.

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Evolution (2023)|Legacy: Evolution]]'' Core Class toys, Grimlock is a miniature version of the famous Dinobot leader, converting into a blocky ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. Part of his beast mode tail detaches to become a twin-barrelled gun in robot mode. Grimlock also forms one of the limbs for Volcanicus, the first combiner released within the Core Class scale. He's probably disappointed at not forming the torso... Similar to how [[Goryu (G1)|Goryu]] is the leader of the [[Dinoforce]], but only forms the left leg of [[Dinoking]]. Hmmm...

:His stock photography is mistransformed; his legs can flip around to form a better-looking tail, reducing the amount of kibble hanging off his back section.

:Grimlock and the other Core Class figures from his wave arrived at US retail ''less than a week'' after their initial reveal.

===Bouncing Ball Heads===
[[File:BouncingBallHead Grimlock.jpg|upright=1.22|thumb]]
*'''Grimlock''' (2017)
:"Bouncing Ball Head" Grimlock is a small, super deformed figurine with a removable head that doubles as a bouncy ball. Despite having a completely round head and a somewhat humanoid body shared by all figurines in this collection, Grimlock's tampographed face is based on a front view of his dino mode head, resulting in a very unsettling appearance. An Autobot logo is tampographed on the back of his head and his name is written under his feet.

:He is (apparently) available in both gacha-style machines and in an 8-pack with the whole collection, and comes inside a spherical capsule with a unique dark gray color.

:Despite clearly representing Generation 1 characters, the collection is advertised as a 2015 ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' product.

===''ReAction''===
[[File:TF-Super-7-ReAction-Figures-Grimlock.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Grimlock''' (2020)
**''Accessories'' Energo Sword, Twin Laser Rifle

:Released in the first wave of [[Super7]]'s line of multi-property 3.75-inch "retro" action figures, ''[[Super7#ReAction|ReAction]]'' Grimlock is a non-converting 3 3/4-inch action figure based on his appearance in the original cartoon, with five points of articulation (swivel neck, shoulders, hips) and holes in his feet for use with some variety of stand. Unlike most figures in the line, he comes with two accessories instead of just one, and both of this hands can hold an accessory.

: As with all releases in the ''ReAction'' toyline, Grimlock comes packaged on a small cardback that emulates the nostalgic packaging style of [[Kenner]]'s ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' action figures from the late 1970s to early '80s.

{{-}}{{anchor|ReActionDino}}
*'''Grimlock''' (2022)

: This depiction of Grimlock, released in the fifth wave of the ''ReAction'' line, has him in his dinosaur mode, taking up a significantly larger chunk of cardback real estate and requiring a much deeper bubble.

: It retains the "five points of articulation" theme, as this figure lacks neck articulation, but instead has a jointed jaw for talky-talky or bitey-bitey action, which we can all agree is awesome. ''Jawsome'', if you will. We'll give you props for that, Super7.

{{-}}{{anchor|ReActionDinoG2}}
*'''Grimlock G2''' (2022)

: This [[redeco]] of the above dino-mode Grimlock figure is now redone in rich blue, to match his ''Generation 2'' toy color scheme (or one of them, anyway). However, he still has the original Autobot faction symbol on his chest rather than the ''Generation 2'' version, which isn't ''not'' accurate to the original toy really, but still.

: He was released as part of the fifth round of [[Target]]-exclusive ''ReAction'' figures, alongside the similarly-toy-based "[[Galvatron (G1)/toys#ReActionGray|Galvatron G1]]" figure.

Never-before-seen accessories include 6 different interchangeable dinosaur "hands," and the fish that he held in "Grimlock's New Brain."

: Preorders for Grimlock (and the rest of Wave 2) opened on [[July 29]] 2021, and closed on [[August 27]], with the toys slated for shipping in summer 2022... a vague date Super7 missed by a wide margin.

:[[XM Studios]]' statue of Grimlock is nearly 40" tall, made of hand-painted porcelain. Grimlock has [[LED|light-up eyes]] and comes with alternate sets of arms that allow him to brandish his signature sword, gun, and... giant spiked mace?

The set also includes a sculpted representation of Grimlock's dino mode that can be displayed next to the robot.

:399 pieces were produced, with a suggested price of about $1,900 US.

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

== Kinda sorta not quite Grimlocks ==

Should the Beast Machines T-Wrecks and Energon Grimlocks REALLY be listed as toys of G1 Grimlock? I can see having them mentioned (trivia maybe?), but having them in the actual list of toys seems to be giving out MIS-information. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 15:39, 27 September 2009 (EDT)
:Yea that is pretty weird, going by this articles logic Megabolt Megatron should be listed under Beast Wars Megatron and not Megatron RID. [[User:Dead Metal|Dead Metal]] 16:31, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

== Henkei figure ==

Me user has him Grimlock Henkei toy. Can me uploads picture? (I'm asking this cos I'm not sure what to do, I don't know how to find Takaratomy stock photos since [[Transformers Wiki:Images]] doesn't tell me how, so taking my own seems to be the best I can do for that) [[User:Item42|Item42]] 00:14, 20 February 2010 (EST)

== Galaxial Rocket Launcher ==

Hey, so what's the criteria for weapons to get their own pages?

'Cause I think Grimlock's rocket launcher might deserve its own page. [[User:Banannixx|Banannixx]] ([[User talk:Banannixx|talk]]) 02:50, 15 November 2020 (EST)

'''''Q-Transformers''''' (キュートランスフォーマー ''Kyūtoransufōmā'', a portmanteau of "cute" + "Transformers") is a [[TakaraTomy]] toyline launched in late [[2014]] and a spin-off of sorts of ''[[Choro-Q]]'', featuring similar [[super deformed]], fully licensed vehicles that now transform into cute little robots.

The toyline is accompanied by ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (mobile game)|Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'', an endless-runner-type mobile game based on the infamous ''[[Transformers: Mystery of Convoy|Mystery of Convoy]]'', as well as a [[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (cartoon)|cartoon]] by the same name.

2023-03-01T16:00:30Z

:''Volcanicus is an [[Autobot]] [[Combiner]] from the [[Power of the Primes (franchise)|Power of the Primes]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[File:Volcanicus-Machinima.jpg|right|thumb|300px|K ...I ...L ...L]]

'''Volcanicus''' is the fearsome combination of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] that was 65 million years in the making, and is now ready to deliver the [[Decepticon]]s a world of pain. Considering the Dinobots' reputations as brainless brutes, Volcanicus is similarly a mindless beast as a result, but given how it hasn't stopped the Dinobots before, it's not much of a problem.

He comprises:
*[[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] (torso)
*[[Slag (G1)|Slug]] (left arm)
*[[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] (right arm)
*[[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] (left leg)
*[[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] (right leg)

He is sometimes comprised of six Dinobots with an alternative configuration.

* Grimlock (left leg)
* Slug (upper torso)
* Sludge (lower torso)
* [[Skar (IDW)|Scarr]] (left arm)
* Swoop (right arm)
* Snarl (right leg)

The Dinobots attacked [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and his team in [[Primal Swamp]], believing the Decepticon leader to be behind the recent apocalyptic threat. When all five were forced to the ground, the Dinobots formed Volcanicus to turn the tide of the battle. {{storylink|The Swamp}} He tussled with the others for a while, being pretty much untouchable, until he was knocked off guard by a surprise attack from the arriving [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. {{storylink|Volcanicus (episode)|Volcanicus}} He quickly recovered from this and began chasing Predaking, who himself was chasing the others. They both finally stopped their assault as they witnessed Megatron enter a mysterious dome. {{storylink|Without Warning}} As they waited for Megatron to re-emerge, he started another fight with Predaking, but was knocked to the ground and got stuck in an energon pool. Unable to get back up, Volcanicus split back into the Dinobots to free himself. {{storylink|Primal (POTP)|Primal}} A later attack on the Dinobots by [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] and the [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]-possessed [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Cron]] led to the death of Sludge, consequently resulting in the loss of the ability to form Volcanicus. {{storylink|Athenaeum Sanctorum (episode)|Athenaeum Sanctorum}}

[[File:Selects Volcanicus.jpg|200px|thumb|left]]
When the [[Quintesson]]s escaped their dimensional prison, they arrived on [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]] in the year [[2050]], where they spotted and hoped to subdue the Dinobots to use as merchandise. Towards this goal, they summoned [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], who had the Dinobots on the ropes till Grimlock was encouraged by telepathic messages from the [[Primus|Oracle]] of the past universe to use [[Earth]]'s [[Angolmois Energy]] to manifest his heart's strength in reality. With this energy and the lending of an [[Energon Matrix]] from [[Kakuryu (G1)|Grimmaster]], Grimlock and the other four original Dinobots combined into the mighty Volcanicus. Predaking attempted to use [[Slash (POTP)|Slash]] as a hostage, but the [[Magma Blade (GS)|Magma Blade]]s-armed Volcanicus was nevertheless able to slash Predaking apart into his [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]] components, who quickly retreated, and save his "little sister". Soon after, Volcanicus was contacted by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]] about the [[Selector]] revolt at [[Neo Scramble City]], so Volcanicus's components split up to go and assist their allies. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 1}}

The Dinobots aided the humans against the [[Cybertron Alliance]] and Selectors because of their loyalty to Carly. The [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s were also loyal to their father, Grimlock, and merged with him as a variant of Volcanicus called [[Volcaticon]]. The Quintessons intervened on the battle with anti-Transformer gas, and so Volcaticon deconstructed so that Grimlock could reform Volcanicus with the Dinobots while the Technobots assembled separately as [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. {{Storylink|Volcanicus comic 2}}

Volcanicus and Computron soon realized they were at a disadvantage against the arriving [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s, though. Computron had restored Grimlock's super-intelligence when they merged as Volcaticon, and now lacked the accumulated knowledge necessary to feed his analytics. Meanwhile, the hyper-intelligent Grimlock inside Volcanicus lost his animal ferocity in this "improved" state. {{Storylink|Abominus comic 1}} Given a reprieve, Computron reabsorbed his intelligence from Volcanicus before engaging the Terrorcons' combiner, [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], but to no avail. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] infused himself with Angolmois Energy to counter Abominus, only to be driven out of control himself. Volcanicus used the Angolmois in his Magma Blade to deflect the reformatted Megatron Omega's attack, teaming up with Abominus against him. Volcanicus and Abominus could not prevail, but soon a wormhole opened in space, drawing the Primitive warriors back into the past. {{Storylink|Abominus comic 2}}

Volcanicus and the Dinobots were used as pawns by Primus, knowing they could be easily directed against their old enemy and his rival, [[Primacron]]. Grimlock assembled Volcanicus to fight Neo Primus, the transformed [[Blue Planet (GS)|Blue Planet]] and the first planet-sized robot Primacron created. {{Storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Part 1|Finale 1}} Even Volcanicus could not defeat a planet alone, but [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]] and the Terrorcons had followed through the wormhole and chowed down on the Angolmois inside the Blue Planet. Hun-Gurr caught the Magma Blade when Volcanicus was disarmed and charged it with the energy inside him, returning it as the Angolmois Blade. This sword was powerful enough to disrupt Neo Primus, converting it back into the Blue Planet. {{Storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Part 2|Finale 2}}

After Snarl returned from Nebulos and retrieved the plans for the Quintesson Hive Matrix, he stated that the Dinobots would soon be one. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Mission Accomplished}}

Grimlock wanted to form his combined form almost immediately, so he got help from Jetfire to open the Enigma vault and got his hands on the Enigma. But Swoop noticed a cerebro-shell in the back of Jetfire's head! Trying to form Volcanicus, Grimlock ordered the Dinobots to combine, but nothing happened. As it turned out, the Dinobots didn't know ''how'' to work the Enigma. Soon, Bruticus and Superion arrived on the scene, and the two duked it out while Grimlock desperately tried to figure out how to use the Enigma.

Learning of the Dinobots' actions, Optimus activated the Enigma, creating Volcanicus and Predaking in the process! Springer retrieved the Enigma, but the Dinobots and Predacons had unfinished business, so they settled on finishing the score later, in their new combined forms.

*'''Lowest Star Rating''': Requires 3 star or higher bots to combine. You can sub in 5 star bots if you have them available.
*'''Class:''' Combiner
*'''Weapons''': Volcanicus is surprisingly versatile being the Dinobot Combiner. He attacks by jumping onto things and smashing them with his fists or his sword. He also can use Slug's natural flamethrower ability to set a large area on fire. Volcanicus can also use his sword to send up a beam that rains down as Meteors to heavily damage an area.
*'''Abilities''':
**'''Energo-Sword''' - Jump and strike with the Energo-Sword! Deals massive damage to the target and anything directly behind it.
**'''Fire And Brimstone''' - Set a wide area on fire dealing an average of 2,280 damage over 8 seconds.
**'''Extinction''' - A shower of meteors bombards a very large area dealing an average damage over 10 seconds. Quadruple damage to walls.

:Part of the ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' subline of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'', Volcanicus is formed from Voyager Class Dinobot Grimlock and the four Deluxe Class Dinobots. ([[Slash (POTP)#Toys|Slash]] isn't officially part of the combiner, but it can be done [[Fan mode|if you're particularly creative]].)

:As a ''[[Combiner#TermsForCombiners|Scramble City]]''-style combiner, Volcanicus can also utilize any ''Combiner Wars''-style Deluxe as a limb. His [[Enigma of Combination]] is dubbed the '''Dinobot Enigma''', and can be installed within Grimlock's dino-head's mouth on Volcanicus' chest, or it can also be stored in any of the fists or feet (and by extension, so can a [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]], [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]], even an entire Matrix of Leadership). The two extraneous hands can be used to either bulk up the lower torso or peg into the backs of the feet as heels for additional stability.

:Due to his very wide shoulders and top-heavy design, Volcanicus is very prone to leaning forward, though not enough to topple over thanks to his long feet. His hips are also formed from Grimlock's thighs with no means of securing them in place, which can lead to some crouching poses collapsing under the weight of his upper body. The shoulders also have the tendency to disconnect from Grimlock's robot wings.

:In China, Volcanicus was released in a box set as an exclusive for Hasbro China's T-Mall site. The box set also came with a Volcanicus-themed notepad, and a code for the ''Earth Wars'' game.<ref>https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=559183834163&skuId=3853426938808</ref>

:''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' Volcanicus is a redeco of his earlier ''Power of the Primes'' self, but with a cartoon-inspired deco taking cues from Generation 1 and Volcanicus' appearance in the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'' cartoon. Every member is now generously coated in silver paint and some plastics have been swapped around for further Generation 1 cartoon-accuracy. He also comes with new parts such as the gestalt feet, a pair of guns based on Grimlock's original handgun, two "Volca-Vulcan" cannons meant to fill in gaps in Volcanicus's chest, and a huge pair of "Magma Blades" (based on the sword he wields in ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]'', itself based on that of ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]).

: He also reuses several combiner parts from ''Generations Selects'' [[King Poseidon#Generations|King Poseidon]], most obviously the fists. Furthermore, the combiner joint ratchets throughout have been strengthened (including Grimlock's leg joints), which makes this Volcanicus more stable than his predecessor, although it is slightly difficult to flip the joints out of the Dinobots' chests.

:Volcanicus was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive, also made available from [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the USA.

==Notes==
*Volcanicus's sword in ''Earth Wars'' is based on the one used by ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]. The ''Power of the Primes'' toy does not include this sword, whereas the ''Generations Selects'' toy includes two.
*The ''Earth Wars'' design, the [[New York Comic Con|NYCC]] 2017 prototype, the packaging art, and the ''Power of the Primes'' cartoon depict Volcanicus with Sludge's head facing down, but the instructions show his head pointing upwards. Similarly, Slug's head points outwards in ''Earth Wars'' and the packaging art, but upwards in the cartoon and on the toy itself.
*Back in [[1990]], four of the original five Dinobot designs served as the templates for the "Geisters", recurring villainous henchmen on the Takara/Sunrise co-production ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave Exkaiser]]''. In what might be called a vision of things to come, the four were once briefly fused into a single robot called "[[:File:MadGeister.jpg|Mad Geister]]" (マッドガイスター ''Maddo Gaisutā''). However, because each Geister controlled a portion of the combined body—and they had the accumulated brain power of a Froot Loop—this ended rather badly for them. In a more successful (if not [[Mega-Dinobot|also prescient]]) later development, the Geisters learned to merge in groups of two, with Ptera Geist and Thunder Geist forming the centaur-esque "[[:File:PtederAndHormor.jpg|Pteder]]" (プテダー ''Putedā'') and Horn Geist and Armor Geist forming "[[:File:PtederAndHormor.jpg|Hormor]]" (ホーマー ''Hōmā'').

Dark Amber Leo Prime

2023-02-18T04:13:34Z

Magnoburst: I know he has never worn the unicron symbol but we have put unicron’s symbol on other pages for much less than being half unicron.

{{factions|maximal|unicron}}
:''Dark Amber Leo Prime is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Generation 1 cartoon continuity]].''

[[File:Dark Amber Leo Prime.jpg|thumb|300px|"Nature made me a freak. Man made me a weapon. And God made it last too long."]]

Born from the fusion of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s remnant [[Angolmois Energy]] within [[Earth]]'s crust and the lifeless body of the great [[Lio Convoy|Leo Prime]], '''Dark Amber Leo Prime''' (ダークアンバーレオプライム ''Dāku Anbā Reo Praimu'') finds himself between two opposing forces—the righteousness of Leo Prime and the evil of Unicron. Which will prevail?

==Fiction==
===''End of G1 Universe''===
In a desperate attempt to "save" the dying universe, the [[Maximal]] [[Bluebolt]] brought the lifeless body of [[Lio Convoy|Leo Prime]] to [[Earth]], where she knew remnants of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s energy still persisted, in an attempt to resurrect the great hero. After drawing a magic circle, Bluebolt was interrupted by [[Untite]], who sought to consume the lion's corpse and summoned an undead [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] to restrain the Maximal. However, the ritual still went off without a hitch and the Angolmois Energy merged with the body to from a new being: Dark Amber Leo Prime. Bluebolt was convinced that this black warrior was Leo Prime reborn, but the arrogant newborn was dismissive of the idea, insisting on being referred to as "Dark Amber". The [[Energon Matrix]] that he inherited from Leo Prime acted as a painful sort of "conscience" and forced him into rescuing the hapless Maximal, which he dismissed as gratitude for bringing about his existence. Untite, on the other hand, believed Dark Amber to be his maker, Unicron himself, an event which the black robot couldn't recall. Convinced that his opponent was "incomplete" and that he could kill and consume him for great power, Untite attacked and wounded the still-feeble Dark Amber.

To save her new hero from perishing, Bluebolt offered her body and the energy within for Dark Amber Leo Prime to consume, but he refused, instead opting to use his planet eater abilities to regain strength from eating... dirt. (It is part of a planet, after all.) Revitalized, Dark Amber easily took down the Seeker. {{Storylink|Dark Amber Leo Prime (First)}} After getting more sustenance from the Sparkless's remnants, he moved on to Untite, shredding him apart with his attacks. When it was revealed to Dark Amber by (the now bodiless) Untite and Bluebolt that Earth was about to explode with them still on it, the corrupted Maximal refused to accept the destruction of what became, over ten thousands of millennia, his "home" and used the Unicronian energies within him to restore the planet to a lush one filled with its former life. In the process, he also brought Untite back to tiptop shape. Together with Bluebolt and the grateful Untite, Dark Amber Leo Prime set out in Untite's ship to fix the rest of the universe. {{storylink|Dark Amber Leo Prime (Second)}}

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Dark Amber Leo Prime is a redeco of [[Lio Convoy#Masterpiece|Lio Convoy]]. He transforms from black lion to robot and is intended to replicate Lio Convoy's animated design, although his coloration is based on [[Black Lio Convoy#Toys|the original Black Lio Convoy toy]]. He is designed to scale with other ''Beast Wars''-based ''Masterpiece'' figures.

:This toy replicates many features of the original toy, like an opening chest hatch with sculpted Matrix inside, deployable arm blades and cannons, and missiles which can be inserted into his cannons, but have no launching mechanisms. He includes opening hatches on his calves which reveal articulated jet boosters. To really go the extra mile for show-accuracy, it has two slightly distinct lion heads, to better depict how in robot mode the lion head goes from furry to smooth and angular.

:Dark Amber Leoprime is also the first ''Masterpiece'' figure with CG renders instead of actual photography on the box. This extends to the front of the box, which seems to intentionally echo the original Lio Convoy figure's box art render.

In the past, '''Huffer''' was the crankiest and most pessimistic of the Autobots. But despite his poor attitude, he's strong, smart, ''and'' talented. Nowadays, he has little to complain about because, as the Autobots' resident tech specialist, he's more into creating very complex tools to use on the battle field. He also works as a construction engineer, building structures that can easily take whatever the Decepticons and those nasty [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]]s can throw or breathe at.

Transformers: Legacy

2023-02-09T14:17:31Z

Magnoburst: /* Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection */ The design team clarified that it was not cancelled.

{{disambig3|Legacy}}
{{nav-Legacy}}
[[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|380px|We did it. We put the "s" in ''Generations''.]]
'''''Transformers: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''')<ref>The official in-house title of the toyline is "'''''Transformers Generations: Legacy'''''", which is often used in online product descriptions given to retailers. The name used for the line's logo, however; is just "'''''Transformers: Legacy'''''".</ref> is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.

First revealed in late [[2021]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2021]], ''Legacy'' commemorates the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]] by featuring new toys of characters from across the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. The toys are largely in the [[scale]] and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Non-"[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]" characters are updated with a ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline, most evident with the toys based on ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]''. The toyline also sees the return of [[combiner]]s from Hasbro for the first time since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', starting with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticons]] in [[2022]].

The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the [[multiverse]] as their universes collide.<ref name="Facebook"/> As such, non-"Generation 1" characters are given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as "[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]". Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, or for Core Class figures, on the instructions, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website. Certain characters have also been given these prefixes to denote specific iterations, such as [[Impactor (G1)#Marvel Comics continuity|"Comic Universe" Impactor]].

Similar to its predecessor, the toyline features re-releases from previous lines, even all the way back to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', though ''Legacy'' elects to remove the battle damage [[paint operation|paint applications]] from these toys where applicable.

==Toys==
===Year 1 (2022)===
The first year of ''Legacy'' focuses on characters that can "harness the power of [[Energon]]" as each toy includes an "[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]":<ref name="Facebook">Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: "Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line."</ref> an often translucent accessory that the figure can wield in multiple ways and combine with others, not too dissimilar to the [[2003]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' series. In keeping with this theme, the first wave of Core Class includes weapons specifically designed to combine into a large sword, but is subsequently dropped in later waves. Moreover, toys that do not utilize clear plastic in any part of their construction do not have these "energon infused" weapons, but some product descriptions do claim that the weapons are.<ref>Tarantula's product description says that he comes with a crossbow and an ''sic'' accessory, but Armada Starscream's product description claims that he comes with an energon sword despite both swords being casted in solid plastic.</ref> The random nature of the weapons can be chalked up to the weapons being designed before the roster was finalized. [[Emiliano Santalucia]] was responsible for the concept art.<ref>Then you will actually see the concept art Emiliano Santalucia drew up even before we had the rollout of characters planned for the year. I think this will provide great insight for all yall as alot of the planning for weapon combinations was to obviously utilize our 5mm peg across all scales but this was all sold in before character selects were figured out. -[https://www.instagram.com/p/CfEo07gO0H7/ Mark Maher on Legacy Energon weapons, 2022/6/21]</ref>

Supporting this is a continuation of the "[[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]]" concept with a new tribe of modular [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] that can mix and match body parts and accessories to create your own robot and vehicle modes, or armor and weaponry for other bots. Following [[Menasor (G1)#Legacy|Menasor]], this subline's combiner is [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Legacy|Volcanicus]], uniquely amongst six [[Dinobot (G1)#Legacy|Dinobots]] in the smaller Core Class.

''Evolution'' also puts greater focus on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' characters to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary. The line also notably features the first mainline ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' toys since the show’s cancellation in 2009. 2023 ''also'' marks the 15th anniversary of the Animated cartoon, but we doubt this was intentional.

Continuing on from ''Kingdom'', the special edition ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' line offers redecoes catering to fans, sold through online retailers in the US and Canada. Funnily enough, Black Zarak and Lift-Ticket were shipped before the general retail ''Legacy'' lineup arrived on store shelves, as was Magnificus for ''Legacy: Evolution''.

==''Legacy'' (TakaraTomy)==
[[File:TF-Legacy-Japan-Logo.png|center|300px]]
[[TakaraTomy]]'s ''Transformers Legacy'' (トランスフォーマーレガシー ''Toransufōmā Regashī'') toyline features no notable differences from Hasbro's edition of the toyline at the time of writing, with the exception of [[List of Japanese ID numbers|ID numbers]] for each released figure (sadly, Hasbro's ''Legacy'' toyline ditches the number system seen in the previous ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline) and the omission of all Core class and package refresh figures. Beginning with Wave 9 (corresponding to Hasbro's ''Evolution'' imprint), TakaraTomy's bios began making reference to the characters' arrival in "[[Legacy World]]," presumably the same enigmatic location featured extensively throughout Hasbro promotional images and stock photography.
{{--}}

===Comic===
TakaraTomy's iteration of the ''Legacy'' franchise is accompanied by a series of (very) short comics on their website by brand veteran [[Hayato Sakamoto]], thus far uncharacteristically continuity-light for a TakaraTomy outing as befitting ''Legacy'''s grab-bag approach:

==Notes==
*Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of its roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].
*Some toy listings featured "Evolution" as part of the toyline's name in its first year,<ref>[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing : "Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures" (outdated, "Evolution" has since been removed)</ref> far before the ''Evolution'' branding was officially introduced.
*Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides and no plastic window.
**The lack of a plastic window in the packaging has led to several drawbacks, most prominently the lack of support offered by the plastic window makes the packaging more susceptible to stress-based wear-and-tear, as well as tampering with the figures inside such as pushing Voyager Bulkhead's head into his chest cavity, making it appear as though the figure is missing his head.
*A ''Legacy'' animated series, conceptualized as a sequel to the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon, was in the discussion stage at one point, but [[Netflix]] passed on the pitch,<ref>{{twitter|Per FJ DeSanto: they had a series for Transformers Legacy planned out, but Netflix passed on it. #TFconLA|https://twitter.com/MikeSibertRadio/status/1502847896458170375|Mike Seibert|2022|03|12}}</ref> as it didn't fit with Netflix's mandates at the time. Hasbro chose not to shop it to other platforms or services, as they wanted to maintain their good relationship with the streaming giant.<ref>{{twitter|To be clear Mike even though i may have said it, Netflix didn't "hate" the pitch, in fact they liked it. But their mandates had changed and what we were proposing didn't fit that. Hasbro didn't want to shop it elsewhere cause they want to keep their relationship w Netflix.|https://twitter.com/_TradeSecrets/status/1503087301445836800|F.J. DeSanto's|2022|03|13}}</ref> The show was intended to be much lighter in tone than ''War For Cybertron'', and would have been set centuries after the events of ''Kingdom''.<ref>{{twitter|Also the show was a dramatic change from WFC as it was lighter and more colorful as it was set centuries after WFC and would emphasize the fun of everything. See how colorful the legacy packaging is and you'll get the idea.|https://twitter.com/_TradeSecrets/status/1503087741914939392|F.J. DeSanto|2022|03|13}}</ref>
*The universes currently featured in the ''Legacy'' toyline are the "[[Diaclone|Diaclone Universe]]", "[[Comics|Comic Universe]]", "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)#Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory|Victory Universe]]", "[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|G2 Universe]]", "[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe]]", "[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada Universe]]", "[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron Universe]]", and "[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime Universe]]". The QR-accessed bios on Hasbro's website add "[[The Transformers (franchise)|G1]]" and "[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]" origin universes into the mix, though these names do not appear on the toys' boxes. Strangely, the ''Diaclone''-adjacent items in the ''Generations Selects'' and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lineups are not given the "Diaclone Universe" label.
*In titling universes, ''Legacy'' splits the difference in terms of release years, leaning towards their Japanese release in particular. This is why the "Robots in Disguise 2000 Universe" isn't "Robots in Disguise ''2001'' Universe", as the Japanese release ''Car Robots'' did release in 2000. Likewise, 2003 is considered the anniversary year for ''Armada'', despite it arriving in some countries in late 2002.
*Due to the polarizing reception to the G1-fied redesigns of ''Prime'' characters, Hasbro is currently finding a better balance between preserving the original designs whilst updating them for the current aesthetic for ''[[Animated]]'' updates,<ref>"Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys? A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification."—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about Animated updates in Legacy]</ref> and has not ruled out on ''[[Studio Series]]'' for more accurate redos of ''Prime'' characters.<ref>"Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though? A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies."—[https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/07/25/sdcc-hasbro-kotobukiya-show-floor-qa-461912 TFW2005 asking Hasbro about more accurate redos of Prime characters]</ref>
*The original listings included a lot of entries titled "[[Energon|Energon]] Monster". As per Hasbro designer Mark Maher's Instagram post, these [[Fossilizer]] / [[Weaponizer]] style Core and Deluxe toys were dropped eventually, and last minute the [[Pretenders]] were approved to fill in these empty slots. Hence the different size classes between Skullgrin, Bomb-Burst and Iguanus. <ref>Mark Maher - Instagram[https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXxl3gumjK/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=]</ref>

Dark Amber Leo Prime

2023-02-03T18:24:01Z

Magnoburst: added unicron symbol because he is half unicron.

{{factions|maximal|unicron}}
:''Dark Amber Leo Prime is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Generation 1 cartoon continuity]].''

[[File:Dark Amber Leo Prime.jpg|thumb|300px|"Nature made me a freak. Man made me a weapon. And God made it last too long."]]

Born from the fusion of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s remnant [[Angolmois Energy]] within [[Earth]]'s crust and the lifeless body of the great [[Lio Convoy|Leo Prime]], '''Dark Amber Leo Prime''' (ダークアンバーレオプライム ''Dāku Anbā Reo Praimu'') finds himself between two opposing forces—the righteousness of Leo Prime and the evil of Unicron. Which will prevail?

==Fiction==
===''End of G1 Universe''===
In a desperate attempt to "save" the dying universe, the [[Maximal]] [[Bluebolt]] brought the lifeless body of [[Lio Convoy|Leo Prime]] to [[Earth]], where she knew remnants of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s energy still persisted, in an attempt to resurrect the great hero. After drawing a magic circle, Bluebolt was interrupted by [[Untite]], who sought to consume the lion's corpse and summoned an undead [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] to restrain the Maximal. However, the ritual still went off without a hitch and the Angolmois Energy merged with the body to from a new being: Dark Amber Leo Prime. Bluebolt was convinced that this black warrior was Leo Prime reborn, but the arrogant newborn was dismissive of the idea, insisting on being referred to as "Dark Amber". The [[Energon Matrix]] that he inherited from Leo Prime acted as a painful sort of "conscience" and forced him into rescuing the hapless Maximal, which he dismissed as gratitude for bringing about his existence. Untite, on the other hand, believed Dark Amber to be his maker, Unicron himself, an event which the black robot couldn't recall. Convinced that his opponent was "incomplete" and that he could kill and consume him for great power, Untite attacked and wounded the still-feeble Dark Amber.

To save her new hero from perishing, Bluebolt offered her body and the energy within for Dark Amber Leo Prime to consume, but he refused, instead opting to use his planet eater abilities to regain strength from eating... dirt. (It is part of a planet, after all.) Revitalized, Dark Amber easily took down the Seeker. {{Storylink|Dark Amber Leo Prime (First)}} After getting more sustenance from the Sparkless's remnants, he moved on to Untite, shredding him apart with his attacks. When it was revealed to Dark Amber by (the now bodiless) Untite and Bluebolt that Earth was about to explode with them still on it, the corrupted Maximal refused to accept the destruction of what became, over ten thousands of millennia, his "home" and used the Unicronian energies within him to restore the planet to a lush one filled with its former life. In the process, he also brought Untite back to tiptop shape. Together with Bluebolt and the grateful Untite, Dark Amber Leo Prime set out in Untite's ship to fix the rest of the universe. {{storylink|Dark Amber Leo Prime (Second)}}

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Dark Amber Leo Prime is a redeco of [[Lio Convoy#Masterpiece|Lio Convoy]]. He transforms from black lion to robot and is intended to replicate Lio Convoy's animated design, although his coloration is based on [[Black Lio Convoy#Toys|the original Black Lio Convoy toy]]. He is designed to scale with other ''Beast Wars''-based ''Masterpiece'' figures.

:This toy replicates many features of the original toy, like an opening chest hatch with sculpted Matrix inside, deployable arm blades and cannons, and missiles which can be inserted into his cannons, but have no launching mechanisms. He includes opening hatches on his calves which reveal articulated jet boosters. To really go the extra mile for show-accuracy, it has two slightly distinct lion heads, to better depict how in robot mode the lion head goes from furry to smooth and angular.

==Notes==
*Dark Amber Leo Prime derives his color scheme from [[Black Lio Convoy]]'s consistently show-inaccurate toy deco, effectively spinning the toys out into their own guy.

'''''Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns''''' was a mobile game and loving homage to ''[[Transformers: Mystery of Convoy|Mystery of Convoy]]'' for the Famicom. By faithfully replicating much of what ''Mystery of Convoy'' is infamous for, from the high difficulty level to the strange, made-up enemies, it used the original game's fame/infamy as a marketing tool. It was available for free, with in-app purchases allowing for more continues after your inevitable game over, until it was shut down on [[March 28]], 2016. The game has no story.

''Mystery of Convoy Returns'' was made as a tie-in to the ''[[Q-Transformers]]'' toyline, and the first few waves of toys came with codes for unlocking additional playable characters in the game. It was also accompanied by a ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (cartoon)|Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'' cartoon in which the characters play and discuss the game and its origins.

==Gameplay==
The game is a sidescroller of the "endless runner" type, with the player character automatically moving across the level while the player shoots down enemies, jumps pits and transforms to avoid low ceilings. Unlike the original ''Mystery of Convoy'', characters can now jump in vehicle mode, but not shoot. ''Like'' the original, you die in one hit, but at least each level now contains a checkpoint. Enemies can drop three different items: speed up, speed down, and invincibility. There are 8 levels total, each followed by a boss straight from ''Mystery of Convoy'' that is also fought in a running format, though you cannot transform during boss fights. Like in the original, the final level is a maze that continues forever if the player doesn't take the correct routes. Your clear time on levels is recorded, and for a time there was an online leaderboard.

An update on [[March 31]], 2015 added a bonus "level 0" featuring a much gentler difficulty level, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] as a playable character, and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] as a boss.

Like the original game's "RODIMUS" energon cubes, each level in ''Mystery of Convoy Returns'' features a collectible letter: finding them all spells out "ULMAGNUS" and unlocks an Ultra Magnus color scheme for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. This in turn refers to how how the unlockable [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] in ''Mystery of Convoy'' was a palette swap of Ultra Magnus.

On beating the game, you get a message that thanks you for beating the sequel to a game said to be unbeatable and notes that to this day, no one knows what the titular mystery was.

Magnoburst: /* Alternity */ I think it is safe to say that the alternity line is over.

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

: 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.

:Presumably by mistake, the stats on Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker's [[Tech Spec]]s were switched around. Starscream's box was given Thundercracker's numbers, notably giving him a lower rank and speed that stood in contrast to the bio printed next to them.

: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.

: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.

: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.

: 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 Volume 2]]'', 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 ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1998 (Beast Wars II)|Beast Wars]]'' [[BB (BW)#Toys|BB]] and [[Starscream (BW)#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 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.

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.

{{toydesigner|[[Shōji Kawamori]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (initial concept)}}

: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. As it happens, this Starscream does not transform into a standard {{w|McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle|F-15 Eagle}}, rather he transforms into an {{w|McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle|F-15E Strike Eagle}}; with the dead giveaways being in the conformal fuel tanks on the fuselage, darker aircraft camouflage, and the placement of the real-world-styled decals. 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 [[Slug figure|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 (which is much closer to a standard F-15's color scheme), replaced with an all-over greenish-tinged grey—a color scheme that is more accurate to the real-world version of the toy's {{w|File:F-15E takes on fuel from KC-10.jpg|F-15E Strike Eagle}} vehicle mode.

: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?

:Cast almost entirely in translucent plastic, this "Ghost Version" ''Masterpiece'' figure is yet another callback to Starscream's spectral tenure from the Generation 1 cartoon. When purchased from [[e-HOBBY]], buyers received an [[MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.|exclusive comic]] packaged with the figure. Surprisingly, Ghost Starscream comes with the same sticker sheet as the original MP-3 Starscream, only with the numbering designation changed.

:Like Gentei Ghost Starscream, Masterpiece Ghost Starscream is cast in light purple translucent plastic instead of just colorless clear plastic like the G1 Ghost Starscream figure.

:''Extreme'' caution is needed while transforming/posing this toy: Several parts of him (especially the wing connectors) are prone to breakage.

:This figure was also released in [[Australia]], as an [[exclusive]] through [[Toys"R"Us]], in late [[2010]].

**''Accessories:'' Crown, pauldrons (left and right), cape, 2 null-rays, hologram pilot figurine
{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] and [[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: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]].

**''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.

: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 (G1)/toys#MP52|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]]''.

**''Accessories:'' 2 null-ray cannons (left and right), 2 missiles
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Don Figueroa]] (concept artist)}}

: 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.

**''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.

This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, with its notable change from past versions being the body color being more of a whiteish grey color instead of the metallic grey of the original 1984 version, 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).

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 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.

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.

: Part of the first assortment of "Custom Kreons", this version of Starscream comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His [[tampograph]]s are much more heavily-detailed than the original Kreon, based on the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Starscream toy]]. His "normal" helmet and arm-rifles are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable hand-cannon, a "Megatron" pistol, a buildable wing-pack, an a curved energon blade.

{{note|This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 Starscream in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comics.}}

: Part of the third wave of [[2012]]-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|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 [[5 mm 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 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.

: 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.

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Starscream is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. 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]].

:''[[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 to be based on an {{w|McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet|F/A-18 Hornet}}. 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]].

:''[[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.

:Though designated for a first quarter 2018 release, Starscream's wave reached U.S. store shelves in December 2017.

: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)#Power of the Primes|Elita-1]].

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.

{{toydesigner|[[Aaron Gray]] (Hasbro), [[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: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.

: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.

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: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.

: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]].

: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. The mold's sculpting is heavily inspired by its larger ''Earthrise'' counterpart, though featuring a gray pelvis instead of a red one and having the underside of Starscream's wings facing forward. Starscream comes with his signature weapons—a pair of null-rays, which can either be plugged into his arms or held as handguns.

:The peg holes featured on Starscream's shoulders are hexagonal as opposed to circular, which means that the Null Rays are prone to popping off when rotated onto that peg hole.

:Most (if not, ''all'') copies of the figure had the lower right leg's sculpted details being too slightly shallow compared to the left leg's.

:This figure was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Legacy (toyline)|Legacy]]'' Core Class [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Legacy|Skywarp]], and we'd be very surprised if he ''wasn't'' redecoed into a Core Class [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]].

:Part of the 8th wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Leader Class toys, "Coronation Starscream" is a retool of the ''Earthrise'' Starscream [[#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|above]], with newly-molded poseable hands, the coronation gear from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', a second pair of null-rays, and the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' [[:File:Mtmte1 megatron throne.jpg|command chair]] from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]." The toy lacks the paint applications on his tail fins and the gunmetal grey below and above his shin vents, but adds additional grey squares to his jet mode for [[:File:TFTM Starscream Jet.jpg|closer accuracy]] to the movie. Additionally, various colors are a slightly different shade (red is more crimson, helmet is more gunmetal, blue is more electric) and the Decepticon sigils on his wings are larger. Strangely, the pins on the legs of the ''Earthrise'' version have been swapped out for screws.

:The cape is sculpted plastic that is hinged to flair out like the [[#MP11|''Masterpiece'' MP-11 toy]] above, however the cape cannot flare up to a 90 degree angle without clashing against the ground. it also has a C.O.M.B.A.T. System-style 5 mm post, allowing [[:File:BlasterG2.jpg|anyone compatible]] to have a lavender cape. The shoulder pads feature flip-down panels with a 5 mm port to attach the differently-molded null-rays, designed to fit with the new armor pieces. By coincidence or design, these additional null-rays can fit into his new hands (if they are completely closed) without bumping into the forearms like the original pair. Naturally, these add-ons, barring the Coneheads for the crown, fit other versions of the ''Earthrise'' Seeker mold, so have fun!

: The "throne" features storage on the back for all the accessories, including multiple 5 mm ports. Starscream himself can only barely sit in it (without the cape on, of course), but the more source-appropriate ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Megatron]] toy fits in very nicely.

:First revealed on the [[August 13]]th, 2021 [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]], the toy is the first to show off the Leader Class window-less packaging, starting in 2022, which allows for expanded [[package art]].

Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop. Starscream's backdrop depicts the [[Hall of Heroes]], where his ill-fated coronation took place.

:Walmart once again reissued the original Starscream toy in 2023 under the ''[[Transformers Retro]]'' label. Unlike the ''Vintage G1'' release, however, ''Retro'' Starscream has been redecoed in colors inspired by his appearance in the original ''Transformers'' animated series, more specifically ''The Transformers: The Movie''.

:While Starscream's box retains the form factor of the original G1 release's box, Hasbro's plastic-free packaging initiative means that it lacks a window and is otherwise styled differently.

==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. In [[2020]], 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 commonly known to the fandom as "jungle attack Starscream" (as seen to the right). It is unclear if it was intended to be another Starscream toy or a new character; 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]]. Presumably, the [[Galvatronus (CW)#Toys|Galvatronus]] Combiner head would be redecoed in homage to Starscream's famous crown.

Magnoburst: making fun of my previous mistakes.

{{factions|autobot}}
Magnoburst is an [[Autobot]]. He is armed with a fusion rifle and powerful artillery cannons mounted on his shoulders. Although he is somewhat dim-witted he still gave his all fighting the great war. Shortly before the Autobots set out to earth on the [[Ark]] he was taken away by [[Vector Prime]] to help supervise the [[Universal stream]]s. If you ask him why he was chosen he will say that it was because he was the most qualified (That is a lie that Vector told him to make him feel better). This new job as assistant to the guardian of time quickly grew boring. One day he saw vector prime interacting with the people of the [[Quadwal]] universal stream through a social media site. He decided to do something similar make an account on tfwiki. And the rest is history. He is currently having his portrait taken.

Crystalline King

2022-12-05T16:16:59Z

Magnoburst: minor typo

:''The Crystalline King is an entity from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''

Beware, for in the forests of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], there lies an entity known as the '''Crystalline King'''. Hidden deep in the heart of his [[Crystal City]], travellers beware, for you may be his next victim.

==Fiction==
===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===
The Crystalline King came to Cybertron at some unknown point in time, and set up his Crystal City to protect himself from the native lifeforms. The City became so dangerous to the Cybertronian race that a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] sent the knight [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] on a quest to destroy the King. Unfortunately, the knight of the Primes was felled by the defenses, and the Crystal City continued to menace Cybertron.

Sometime after 2007, a fragment of the Cityspeaker [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] lodged itself in the Crystalline King. This drew the Autobots [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] to Crystal City, where they encountered the defenses and inadvertently freed Thunderhowl, who joined them in retrieving Windblade. The three managed to come face-to-face with the ruler of Crystal City, forcing him to use Windblade's mind shard to generate an army of crystal Cityspeakers. Ultimately, he was shattered by Bee's multiverse energy, and the City collapsed shortly after, permanently ending his reign of terror. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}}

==Synopsis==
In the final days of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]], and [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] watch [[Blades (G1)|Blades]]' live feed of the last major battle, a massive hole in place of the city that was once there. Prowl, horrified by the images he receives, asks Blades if he has a status update on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. The news isn't good: Prime is dead once more. The solemn Autobots are silent for a moment, and Prowl confirms to Blades he's received his report.

Elsewhere, in a secret base, three high-ranking Decepticons—[[Cicadacon]], [[Sea Clamp]], and [[Ram Horn]]—have been experimenting with [[transmatter]], a material that fluctuates between reality, derived from the [[Swarm (G2)|Swarm]]. Having successfully evolved themselves with it in conjunction with the reformatting technology they've found in their secret base, the three have begun trying to evolve other Decepticons. Cicadacon breaks up an argument over between his fellow generals, reminding them that their "host" reacts negatively to anger. Their conversation is cut short anyway, when [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] arrives with news: [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] is dead! The generals, nonplussed at their "beloved" leader's death, check in with the young Decepticon [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], the namesake of Galvatron's [[Megatron (G1)|former self]]. Megatron is eager to take the advantage with Prime dead, but the generals order him to stand down, with more pressing concerns ahead. Megatron ends the transmissions...and tells his troops to fight until there are no more Autobots. The generals return to their experiment, and [[Retrax|one Decepticon]] has been successfully reformatted! The generals explain to their new brother their plan: using transmatter, they will restore the Cybertronian race to their truest form, long lost over the successive generations of Transformers. The process, however, will not work on the dead, and they'll need both Autobots and Decepticons for their plan to be successful. Not trusting Megatron, the generals send Tarantulas to make sure a ceasefire comes to pass.

At [[Nova Plenum]], the highest ranking Autobots confer. With Prime dead, Prowl is the highest ranking Autobot...but he feels unworthy to lead. Instead, he proposes the Autobots form a [[Primal Council]], each of them leading the Autobots together. Silverbolt and Ironhide debate on what to do now; Silverbolt feels that they need time to recover, but Ironhide feels like going after the Decepticons now that they're down. Prowl suggests a compromise; with Galvatron dead, the Decepticons will be directionless, and so, he suggests that each Decepticon unit be reached out to for a chance to stand down. The others agree, but note that they'll need to send out updates to everyone. Silverbolt informs them that he's contacted most of them, but still hasn't reached [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], who was leading Unit-3. Just then, an Autobot enters, informing them that Perceptor and the other members of Unit-3 are dead; now, he ''is'' [[Under-3|Unit-3]]. Unit-3 demands to hunt down the Decepticons, but Prowl has already made up his mind; he has sent [[Tigatron]] out with Unit-2, hoping that Tigatron's respectability will aid in a ceasefire. Ironhide strikes up a conversation with the angry Autobot, impressed by his bearings, and asks Unit-3 if he wants to take Perceptor's place in their contingency plan. Prowl and Perceptor go over Unit-3's report, noting that Perceptor detected readings of [[unspace|transwarp]] energy, which they suspect is linked to the Decepticons. Silverbolt consoles Prowl, distraught over all the death, assuring him that they will finish what the others started. They send the exploration ship, the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'', to investigate the strange readings. The ship's captain, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]], explains that they've been chosen, although one of his [[Rattrap (BW)|crew members]], pessimistic as ever, figures they've only been sent because there was no one else available.

At [[Omega Spaceport]], [[Scorponok (BW)|one]] of Megatron's soldiers alerts him to the approaching Autobot, but Megatron simply tells him to let them come. Tigatron, leading Unit-2, lets the Decepticons know of the Autobots offer of peace, putting and end to the war. But Megatron has already made up his mind—and his holding base falls apart as the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]] combiner, [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], emerges, along with Megatron's other Decepticons! Predaking quickly tears through many of the Autobot; Tigatron takes on Megatron, believing him a fool for continuing the madness, Meanwhile, the flying Autobot [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] takes on [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] and [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]], though the latter, unlucky as always, is accidentally crushed underneath Predaking's foot. Megatron pontificates, believing that even if Cybertron is razed, the Transformers will rebuild it to be better—and do so to other worlds as well. Predaking interrupts his speech when he grabs Tigatron, however, and, knowing that he cannot allow the Autobots to rally behind a new leader, heads off with his troops, telling Predaking to finish off the Autobots. Airazor saves Tigatron from Predaking's grasp, but, knowing that the Decepticons are headed for the Primal Council, tells Tigatron to go help the others. Tigatron is reluctant at first, but Airazor insists, knowing that he is important to the contingency plan. Tigatron promises her that he will see her again and heads off, Airazor watching sadly as he goes.

Out in space, the ''Axalon'' nears closer to the source of the transwarp signals. Unfortunately, the signals are coming not from Cybertron...but from the disembodied head of [[Unicron]]! The generals realized their secret base has been located, but are unconcerned; Unicron is too drained of [[energon]] to react, and the transmatter bomb is prepped to go off in 20 cycles. Cicadacon, pleased that everything is going to plan, quotes a passage from the [[Covenant of Primus]], declaring that the last generation will become the first. Back on the ''Axalon'', the ship's [[Rhinox (BW)|science officer]] detects a build up of energy similar to stealth devices, unsure of its source. The energy suddenly shoots up, and the science officer deduces that whoever is inside is evacuating Unicron's head. Primal, realizing what's about to happen, orders the ship's shields up, as the transmatter bomb explodes, destroying Unicron's head. Tarantulas declares their plan ruined, as the shields of the ''Axalon'' have altered the trajectory of the bomb's fallout, preventing it from reaching most of Cybertron. Cicadacon simply states that it'll only take a bit longer than they had planned for. And Predaking, with Airazor grasped in his hands, watches as the transmatter falls to Cybertron...

In Nova Plenum, Megatron and his soldiers break through the Primal Council's tower. Megatron lets his name be heard...but he is confronted by an unafraid [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], who has faced the "real" Megatron, and roughs up the Decepticon. Megatron quickly regains his bearings, however, and knocks the Autobot back. He, Silverbolt, Prowl, and Unit-3 are quickly surrounded by the Decepticons...but the Autobots reveal they've planned for this! As Tigatron arrives, the five activate their contingency plan—and combine into [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]]! Knocking Megatron back, the Decepticon orders his troops to hold Magnaboss off until Predaking can arrive. Meanwhile, Predaking watches as both Autobots and Decepticons are affected by the transmatter bomb, including Airazor, becoming [[protoform|featureless liquid-metal robots]]. As the generals arrive, Predaking inquires them into what's happening to them. Cicadacon simply explains that they're heading towards "greatness", evolving into "protoforms." Predaking is confused, and Cicadacon merges with his fellow generals, Tarantulas, and [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] into a combiner of their own, [[Predacus]]! Predacus apologizes to Predaking, wanting him to be remade too...but all good peacetimes need a martyr, and so Predacus knocks Predaking back, stabbing and killing him.

The bombs begin to reach Nova Plenum, causing much distress amongst both sides. As Magnaboss finds Airazor, Tarantulas rushes to Megatron. Tarantulas lies to his leader, claiming that the transmatter was part of a "doomsday device" created by Galvatron in the event of his death, and that when Predaking learned of this, the shameful combiner took his own life. Megatron doesn't believe Tarantulas, however, and pushes forward to take out the Autobots while he still can. Tarantulas radios Ravage that Megatron hasn't fallen for the bait, and so, Ravage snipes Megatron with a stun blast. Cicadacon steps forth, addressing the Autobots, declaring that the Decepticons have surrendered.

In the following days, the Autobot and Decepticon leaders meet together to discuss peace, signing a [[Pax Cybertronia|peace treaty]] to declare an armistice. Prowl declares that the Autobots and Decepticons are no more, those being the names of warriors. The Autobots become Maximals, while the Decepticons, using the example of Predaking, become the Predacons. Though they are not yet one race, in time, they will forge forth a new path as Cybertronians. Optimus Primal takes up guardianship of the transmatter victims on the ''Axalon'', promising to do what they can for them. Many come to visit their fallen friends; a heartbrokern Tigatron watches over Airazor, a grim Prowl over [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], and a young, respectful [[Dinobot (BW)|Predacon]] over [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. Those who have worked hard for peace on either side, like Ravage and Tarantulas, are given amnesty, while those who have prolonged the war, like Megatron, will be imprisoned and downgraded. Elsewhere, on [[Predacon Command Outpost One]], the generals, now the [[Tripredacus Council]], look over their continued experiments into weaponizing protoform technology. As he listens to his scientists' reports, Cicadacon smiles, looking over their plans for new [[Transwarp cruiser|ships]] and [[Magmatron|warriors]], preparing to make all one...

==Notes==
* Characters mentioned but not seen include: [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], and the [[Swarm (G2)|Swarm]].

===Continuity notes===
* Bove notes this story takes place some time after "[[The Rebirth]]", the three part finale of the original Sunbow ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' cartoon, with Optimus Prime and Galvatron in command of the Decepticons, respectively. Notably, Fortress Maximus is mentioned as one of the many fallen Autobots.
* Optimus Prime was claimed to fallen in the "final battle" between Autobots and Decepticons in the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'' episode, "[[Sparkwar Pt. II: The Search]]".
* Prowl, Ironhide, and Silverbolt begin here their transformation to their Maximal selves, with them being shown to be in charge of the Maximals in both ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars: The Ascending|The Ascending]]'' and the ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]'', the latter of which explicitly retconned the ''Beast Wars'' toys who formed Magnaboss into being the same characters as their ''Generation 1'' namesakes.
* Unicron's head is shown orbiting Cybertron, having fallen into the planet's orbit after his destruction in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' However, see "continuity errors" below.
* Part of the transmatter evolution process uses the reformatting technology of Unicron, seen most prominently in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.
* Both Primal's and Megatron's [[BotCon 2006]] toy bios and profiles in the retail edition of "[[Dawn of Future's Past]]" noted they were around for the very end of the last Great War. However, see errors below.
* Big Convoy and Lio Convoy are shown as members of the Primal Council—both ''[[Transformers, Beast Wars: The Gathering|The Gathering]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars: The Ascending|The Ascending]]'' depicted them as high-ranking members of the Maximals, as well as being members of the cross-faction [[Bi-Partate Committee for State Affairs]].
* In the cartoon, Galvatron's former existence as Megatron is one of the reasons they decided to retrieve him after being exiled to [[Chaar]], as seen in "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1]]".
* Silverbolt notes that there has been rumors of experimentation with transwarp technology since before he came online. Megatron's message on the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]], seen in "[[The Agenda (Part 2)]]", had the Decepticon leader note that the technology was beginning to be developed. This was shortly after he and the other Decepticons awoke from stasis; Silverbolt was created not too long after, being infused with life by [[Vector Sigma]] in "[[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2]]".
* Primal, Rhinox, Rattrap, Dinobot, and Waspinator are all depicted in their [[BotCon 2006]] toy bodies.
* Megatron is seen reading the Covenant of Primus, from which he gained his name, as seen in the two-part finale of ''Beast Wars'', "Nemesis". Later in the issue, Cicadacon quotes a passage from it.
* Predaking here serves as the inspiration for the Predacon faction, something established by both "Dawn of Future's Past" and [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]]'s [[BotCon 2009]] toy bio. However, see "continuity errors" below.
* Multiple ships based on Ravage's [[transwarp cruiser]] from "The Agenda" are seen in this issue, along with the Predacon Command Outpost One from the first part. However, see "continuity errors" below.
* Ram Horn claims to have come from the [[Pit]], the Cybertronian version of Hell first mentioned in ''Beast Wars'', and it's mentioned several other time in the issue.
* Ironhide mentions how he was once killed by the original Megatron, only to come back; his death was seen in ''The Transformers: The Movie''. Later, Prowl mentions Megatron's surprise attack on the [[Autobot shuttle]] he and Ironhide were on, and Magnaboss paraphrases Megatron's line to a dying Ironhide: "such heroic nonsense."
* Among the victims of transmatter is Grimlock, presumably to set up the Dinobot's appearances in ''The Gathering'' and ''The Ascending''.
* Dinobot is seen standing over Grimlock's stasis pod, implying that he got the idea for his Beast Wars name from the Autobot subgroup. This made even more apparent in the accompanying BotCon 2016 script reading "[[The Hot Rod]]", in which the yet-not named as such Dinobot was presented as an admirer of Grimlock. {{w|Geoff Johns}} literalism at its finest, folks.
* A blueprint for the design of Magmatron is seen on Cicadacon's datapad; the Predacon served the Tripredacus Council before eventually betraying them in ''The Gathering''. However, see "errors" below.

===Transformers references===
* Part of the transmatter process includes energy from the Swarm, the entity that served as the main antagonist for the last few issues of the Marvel ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|Generation 2]]'' comic. Sea Clamp's comments seem to imply that they're using it for it's life-giving powers, which it gained after it had consumed Optimus Prime and the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]], having gained the life it lacked, in the [[A Rage in Heaven!|final issue]] of the series. This connection seems inspired by Larry DiTillio's desire to make the [[Vok]] an evolved form of the Swarm, who would have gave Cybertron protoforming technology. However, see "continuity errors" below. Latter in the issue, Cicadacon swears by it.
* The first Decepticon successfully reformatted with transmatter is the ''Beast Wars'' Predacon pillbug Retrax.
* The Primal Council is named for the [[Convoy Council]], the ruling class of Maximals seen in the ''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (cartoon)|Beast Wars Neo]]'' cartoon—since Optimus Primal himself was renamed "Convoy" for Japanese markets.
* Big Convoy questions Prowl's plan, calling it a "few bah weeps short of a ninni bong," referencing the [[universal greeting]] from ''The Transformers: The Movie''.
* Unit-3's name, replacing the moniker of "Under-3", is derived from Tigatron's codename from "Dawn of Future's Past", Unit-2. In fact, Tigatron's unit of Autobots is called "Unit-2".
* Big Convoy's unit is sent to the [[Rust Sea]] Peninsula; the Rust Sea was first mentioned in the letters page for the Marvel UK ''The Transformers'' comic, and has since then gone on to appear in many continuities.
* Unit-3 calls the Decepticon's "Unicron's spawn," the same invective leveled at Tarantulas by Megatron in ''Beast Wars'' episode "[[Nemesis Part 1]]".
* The fourth ''Axalon'' crew member, originally drawn as [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], appears to have been redrawn and colored as young ''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]'' Maximal [[Lio Junior]], though it's most likely not meant to be him. Either him or another in his colors shows up at the end of the issue.
* Primal tells "Rattrap" to "shut his trap", a call-forward to the name that he will eventually take while also being a variation on the oft-slung "Shut up, Rattrap" catchphrase used whenever Rattrap was being obnoxious in the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon.
* Among the Decepticons generic seen in this issue are those based on or colored as the ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' live-action movie continuity character [[Terradive (TF 2010)|Terradive]], the [[BotCon 1996]] exclusive ''Generation 2'' Decepticon [[Nightracer (G2)|Nightracer]] (specifically in the colors her creator [[Raksha]] wanted her to be in), the ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]], the ''Generation 2'' release of [[Firecon]] [[Sparkstalker]], and ''Machine Wars'' [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]].
* On the opposite side, various generics on the Autobot side are colored as: ''Generation 2'' [[Laser Rod]] [[Volt]], ''Generation 2'' [[Color Changer]] [[Jetstorm (G2)|Jetstorm]], the ''Generation 2'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] version of [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], European and Australasia-exclusive [[Action Master]] [[Rumbler (G1)|Rumbler]], the black-and-red version of Lio Junior from the ''Beast Wars II'' toyline included with a jigsaw puzzle, the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]] [[Strafe (G1)|Strafe]], and [[R-Blade]].
* Aside from them, others bearing the color schemes (and hence, presumably ''are'' those characters) of ''Beast Wars'' Buzz Saw, Razorbeast Drill Bit, Manta Ray, Beetle, Snapper, Insecticon, Scarem, and Air Hammer, and ''Beast Wars II'' Bigmos and Dirge. Also, somewhat randomly, the Autobot Action Master Mainframe is seen both as part of Unit-2 and during the signing of the peace treaty.
* Ram Horn mentions "astro-seconds" and "quartrexes" in an attempt to annoy Sea Clamp, units of time mentioned in the Sunbow ''The Transformers'' cartoon episodes, in "[[Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion]]" and "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", respectively.
*Cicadacon lays down the Decepticon sigil when surrendering, similar to how Optimus Prime surrendered to [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] in issue [[Surrender!|#74]] of the Marvel ''The Transformers'' comic, by laying down the Autobot symbol.

===Real-life references===
*Ironhide refers to the Predacon Megatron as a "[[Knockoff|knock-off]]," toys made by other companies that are obvious copies of real ''Transformers'' toys.

===Continuity errors===
*To put it ''very'' mildly, this story was quite controversial within the fandom—aside from the admittedly subjective "''Beast Wars'' isn't supposed to be all about Generation 1" complaints, the story in general actively contradicts major pieces of lore from the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon. Some of these issues have their origins in plot points that author John-Paul Bove had in mind but either didn't have time for or didn't realize were unclear, which he has gone on to clarify [http://wordmongerer.tumblr.com/post/142758963250/this-past-weekend-my-first-transformers-story on his] [http://wordmongerer.tumblr.com/post/143819209495/greetings-now-i-am-not-the-most-online-person Tumblr]. However, many of his clarifications, based on his own [[authorial intent]], cause even further confusion. The story draws upon four major sources: the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon, the Sunbow ''The Transformers'' cartoon, the BotCon 2006 "Dawn of Future's Past" comic, and the various IDW Publishing ''Beast Wars'' comics. For organization's sake, we have divided each continuity error by which story they contradict, along with a section for other general errors below.

====''Beast Wars'' cartoon errors====
* In the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon itself, the Autobots and Decepticons were treated as "Arthurian"-style figures, having long descended into legend by the time of the cartoon. This story chooses to brazenly ignore that, depicting a good majority of the ''Beast Wars'' cast as having existed at the end of the Great War. Some stories have done this before—Optimus Primal and Megatron's [[BotCon 2006]] toy bios and profiles in the retail edition of "Dawn of Future's Past" claimed that they both served in the last Great War—but in such cases the two were depicted as extremely minor figures in the war, serving only for the first few years of their lives at most.
* A particularly bad example of this is the Tripredacus Council: in "[[The Agenda (Part 1)]]", Ram Horn recounts how their "Decepticon ancestors" were defeated in battle, but this story decides to depict them as the ones who have surrendered. Bove claims that he ignored this line in favor of one from "[[Other Victories]]", where Tarantulas revealed that he and the Tripredacus Council were unconnected to either Autobot or Decepticon, and there's some vague lip service paid to this, with Sea Clamp noing that as far as the other Decepticons know, the generals are "as Decepticon as they are." However, even then, it's clear that Ram Horn and the others weren't literally meant to be the ones who surrendered to the Autobots. Even more baffling is Bove's choice to retcon Cicadacon and Sea Clamp (via their toy bios, and admittedly only implied) into being reformatted versions of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]; the latter particularly stands out, as it would have meant that Tarantulas would have been fine with killing one of his masters by blowing up the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' in "[[Master Blaster]]".
* Megatron is depicted as high-ranking enough to lead large forces of Decepticons and take command after Galvatron's defeat—but in the cartoon itself, he was originally a lowly gangster and troublemaker. Bove notes that he didn't intend for this...but even then, the fact that the Tripredacus Council considers him a threat to peace is questionable, when in the cartoon they considered him a minor annoyance to their plans until they detected the [[transwarp wavefront]] in "The Agenda (Part 1)", only then sending Ravage after him. Megatron even referred to the Autobots and Decepticons as "archaic energon-guzzlers" in "[[The Agenda (Part III)]]"—but here, he is one himself! And that's without even bringing up how his toy, obviously based on his [[Transmetal 2]] form, is used to depict a pre-''Beast Wars'' Megatron (for [[to sell toys|toy-selling purposes]], of course, but still).
* The idea of protoforming being a new technology had previously been suggested in the Japanese guidebook ''[[Beast Wars Universe]],'' which held it as a new development in the Pax Cybertronia era. This was based on [[author intent|notes]] from show runners [[Larry DiTillio]] and [[Bob Forward]]. However, those were "behind the scenes" notes that [[pseudocanon|had not made it into any published stories before]], and were alongside other conceptual notes that were rendered impossible by later storyline developments. Even if that concept is to be canonized by "Dawn," the depiction of protoforming as a specifically Decepticon superweapon that caused pre-existing Transformers to turn into protoforms, and the depiction of [[stasis pod]]s as life support systems are...dubious decisions, at best. Admittedly, the cartoon itself did cause some confusion as to whether or not the Maximal protoforms were newly brought online; the events of "[[The Spark]]" treated Airazor as part of a "newborn" metaphor, while both Tigatron's debut in "[[Fallen Comrades]]" and [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] and [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]]'s debut in "[[Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)]]" mentioned that they had been damaged in the crash, with "lost memories"; many interpreted this line as them having had ''identities'' beforehand, rather than just having their innate sense of self having been lost. This, along with Rampage having existed before being turned back into a protoform as seen in "[[Bad Spark]]" has caused many authors to ignore the "newborn" idea of protoforms in favor of them existing beforehand. Still, the decision to make Tigatron and Airazor as prominent Autobots at the end of the war, with Tigatron serving as one of the Autobot/Maximal leaders on the Primal Council feels contradictory, at the very least. See more below in "Dawn of Future's Past errors" for more on the specifics of Tigatron and Airazor, and "IDW Beast Wars" errors for more on the protoforms in general.
* The cartoon established that the majority of the characters renamed themselves upon arriving on Earth—the only ones whose names remained the same (aside from Ravage, obviously) were Optimus Primal, Megatron, Tarantulas, and [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]]. The comic tries to continue that idea—Rhinox, Scorponok, and Rattrap are never referred to by name, but Terrorsaur is referred to by his name in his toy bio, and strangely, Waspinator refers to himself by his Earth name despite not having a toy made for this convention. And again, Tigatron and Airazor are shown to have their Earth names despite not apparently remembering anything else about their old lives.
* The ''Axalon'' is shown here to be an Autobot ship, scaled to their massive size. As seen in the cartoon, it was scaled to the Maximals—and when Primal was mutated by the power of Optimus Prime's spark into his "Optimal Optimus" form, he was shown to tower over the ship's bridge. It's ''possible'' that the ''Axalon'' could have been retrofitted since then to be smaller—but nothing in the cartoon suggests that. Additionally, Optimus Primal, while privy to some secrets like the experiments on [[Rampage (BW)|Protoform X]], was ultimately a lower-ranking Maximal, the captain of an exploration crew. The comic tries to pay some lip service to this idea, having Primal and his crew being sent because they're the only ship available...but he's shown to have enough authority to take the transmatter bomb victims into his care.
* Both Rhinox and Rattrap are depicted as crew members on the ''Axalon'' long before the start of the cartoon. With Rhinox, this isn't so unbelievable; Primal treats him as an old friend, and he's privy to secrets such as Protoform X being on board the ''Axalon''. However, the opening episodes of ''Beast Wars'' made it clear that Rattrap had only recently start serving under Primal's command at the beginning of the cartoon, consistently questioning Primal's decisions ("First day on the job or what?", "You sure you're cut out for this 'commander' gig?"), only warming up to him as time goes on. The story additionally suggests that Rattrap gave Optimus Primal his name, which, aside from the aforementioned issues with Rattrap's time on the ''Axalon'', is an utterly baffling idea. Even more baffling is that [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] was at one point obviously drawn as a member of the ''Axalon'' crew, but thankfully, he was changed into a random generic.
* Ships based on the [[transwarp cruiser]] used by Ravage in "The Agenda" can be seen in Unicron's head and on Cicadacon's datapad, but Sea Clamp called the ship "experimental", implying it was only recently developed.
* In the cartoon, Ravage's service as a Predacon under the Tripredacus Council is little more than a rumor, only know by certain Maximals like Optimus Primal. While he's not seen by anyone in this story besides the Tripredacus Council and Predaking, the fact that he's publicly granted amnesty for his actions seems to contradict that.
* In the cartoon, Tarantulas was slipped into Megatron's gang of criminals to keep tabs on him for the Tripredacus Council. Here, he's shown to do the same while Megatron was a high-ranking Decepticon, and apparently is trusted by Megatron. While this isn't contradictory per se, it's yet another odd decision.
* Finally, Inferno is shown among those affected by the transmatter bomb explosion, implying that he would become the protoform that was reprogrammed into the Predacon [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]], a laughably stupid idea. Bove has claimed that he didn't explicitly show it to leave it up to interpretation, but still, it's very obvious what he was implying.

====Sunbow ''The Transformers'' errors====
* Of note, the original ''Beast Wars'' cartoon was written to be in a vague, unspecified ''Generation 1'' continuity, drawing on both elements of the Sunbow ''The Transformers'' cartoon and the Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics. However, as with the majority of post-cartoon ''Beast Wars'' stories, the comic opts to make it a continuation of the cartoon, with elements that couldn't have happened in a comic based continuity being incorporated (Unicron's head orbiting Cybertron, Ironhide and Prowl's death at the hands of Megatron, Megatron's transformation into Galvatron). However, this doesn't prevent from continuity errors arising from the cartoon, some of which are the results of kind-of sort-of trying to include elements of Marvel continuity that simply just don't work with the cartoon.
* Unicron's head is shown to be orbiting Cybertron, as it famously was at the end of ''The Transformers: The Movie'' after his destruction. However, in the subsequent third season of the cartoon, Unicron's head was blasted out of orbit in "[[Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine]]", and was last seen floating in empty space in "[[Call of the Primitives]]".
* Cicadacon claims that the earliest generations of Cybertronians were forged from the "primordial metals" of Cybertron, similar to the origin given to the Transformer race by [[Simon Furman]] in both the Marvel US and UK ''The Transformers'' comics, and the ''Generation 2'' comic that served as a sequel to the former. However, this just straight up isn't true for cartoon continuity; the "[[Five Faces of Darkness]]" mini-series that served as the premier for the third season of the cartoon revealed that the Cybertronians were mechanically manufactured by the [[Quintesson]]s, who used Cybertron as a factory world.
* Similarly, the Swarm connection is hard to reconcile with the cartoon continuity. In the ''Generation 2'' comics, the Swarm was the result of continued using of the "budding" method of [[Reproduction|creating]] new Transformers, which obviously doesn't exist in the cartoon continuity. Additionally, the Swarm's recreation by Optimus Prime by using the Matrix couldn't have happened in this version, with the Matrix having been drained eradicating the [[Hate Plague]] in "[[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2]]". Again, the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon incorporated several Marvel continuity concepts, and any encounter with the Swarm almost certainly wouldn't have happened the same way it did in the comic, but the use of it with the rest of the comic being almost entirely Sunbow cartoon-based is certainly strange at the very least.

===="Dawn of Future's Past" errors====
* This story follows on with the retcon that Tigatron and Airazor existed ''before'' the events of the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon. However, in that story, Tigatron was a Maximal beat cop, only known as "Unit-2" and not having enough clearance to know about the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]], while Airazor was the pilot of the ship ''[[Chromia 10]]'', who didn't know each other prior to meeting in "Dawn of Future's Past". What's especially strange is the decision to have Airazor one of those affected by the transmatter bomb-meaning at some point she was cured and released from the ''Axalon'', only to have her spark transported into a blank protoform after her ship was heavily damaged saving the ''Axalon'' from [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]].
* The original Predacons being the source for the ''Beast Wars'' faction comes from "Dawn of Future's Past" and [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]]'s subsequent [[BotCon 2009]] toy bio card. However, them being the source of the name is about the ''only'' thing this story shares with those two sources. In Razorclaw's profile, it claimed that at the end of the war, Razorclaw rose to power after most of the Decepticons were destroyed, forming the Predacons, and nearly leading them to victory, only to be assassinated by the Tripredacus Council as part of their machinations. Here, the Predacons are killed before the Predacon faction is created, and are just random Decepticons whose deaths are used by the Tripredacus Council as propaganda, killed while they were combined. Additionally, [[Divebomb (G1)|Divebomb]] was shown to still be alive in "Dawn of Future's Past", aiding Megatron's theft of the Golden Disk with his agents, [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]]. The bio of Laserbeak even stated that Divebomb was the one who gave both them ''and'' Ravage their new Predacon forms, with Ravage only later defecting to the Tripredacus Council's side.

====IDW Publishing ''Beast Wars'' errors====
* In general, the only major continuity errors that pop up are those that contradict the events given in the ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]'', and given that the guidebook also contradicted both the cartoon ''and'' ''[[Transformers, Beast Wars: The Gathering|The Gathering]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars: The Ascending|The Ascending]]'', it's not ''quite'' as egregious as some of the other errors. Still:
* Galvatron is depicted here as having fallen in his final battle with Optimus Prime. However, the glossary published in the trade version of the ''Beast Wars Sourcebook'' claimed that Galvatron's fate was unknown, the subject of legend and conjecture.
* What does contradict ''The Gathering'' and ''The Ascending'' is the depiction of many of the Predacons from that series—reprogrammed from Maximal protoforms—are seen active as Decepticons on Cybertron, along with a few of the Maximals from said series, including Retrax, Buzz Saw, Manta Ray, Snapper, Insecticon, Scarem, and Air Hammer. It falls under the same error with protoforms mentioned above, but in what are definitely errors is the depiction of Retrax as the first successful experiment of the generals (he was depicted as a Maximal protoform reprogrammed by Magmatron's Predacons) and the depiction of both Snapper and Scarem as Decepticons (his profile in the ''Beast Wars Sourcebook'' depicted him as a former Maximal who joined the crew of the ''Axalon'', before being reprogrammed on Earth into a Predacon, while Scarem's profile noted that his Predacon reprogramming was imperfect, shades of his Maximal self still showing through).
* In keeping with the above notes about Megatron, issue [[The Gathering issue 1|#1]] of ''The Gathering'' had Lio Convoy explicitly describe Megatron as little more than a "loose cannon," not worth worrying about... but here, Lio Convoy one of the Autobot commanders who is around as Megatron nearly pushes the Decepticons to defeat the Autobots!
* The aforementioned Glossary gave a muddled and confused origin for the Pax Cybertronia, claiming that the [[Great Upgrade]] that turned the Autobots and Decepticons into Maximals and Predacons occurred after the Great War ended, only for another [[Great War (BW)|Great War]] to break out again between the Maximals and Predacons (allowing room for events akin to ''Beast Wars II'' to occur during this time), and ''then'' the Pax Cybertronia signed by the Maximal and Predacon rulers comes after ''that'' Great War. Here, the peace treaty depicted in this story predates the Great Upgrade, and is signed by the remaining Autobot and Decepticon leaders—which, at the very least, fits the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon's timeline better. The Glossary also claimed that the Tripredacus Council first came into power only after the Pax Cybertronia was signed, but here, they're all high-ranking members of the Decepticons. Also, Cicadacon is seen creating designs for Magmatron—but in Magmatron's profile in the ''Sourcebook'', it was claimed that he originally tried to stop the Pax Cybertronia in its infancy, obviously existing before its signing. Overall, both of these sequences of events don't ''really'' work with the cartoon as is, so it's not like it matters that both cancel each other out.
**'''''HOWEVER''''', there ''is'' some wiggle room for the Glossary's version of history to still play out in this comic's future since the treaty signed here is never actually ''explicitly'' referred to as the Pax Cybertronia, only [[authorial intent|intimated to be by external commentary from the author]]. Ignoring that would allow for at least some of this to be smoothed over.
* The Glossary also noted that the ''Axalon'' was built after the Pax Cybertronia as part of a Maximal-led space exploration initiative, but again, it's shown here as existing as an Autobot ship at the end of the Great War.
* Magnaboss's profile in the ''Sourcebook'' claimed he was developed in response to the Tripredacus Council's own combined form, [[Tripredacus]]. However, Magnaboss is here shown to be created as part of an end-of-the-war contingency, with his components apparently being unaware of Predacus.

===Art and technical errors===
* Sea Clamp and Ram Horn's names are consistently spelt as "Seaclamp" and "Ramhorn."
* Prowl, Ironhide, and Silverbolt have their combiner modes (and in Ironhide's case, his vehicle mode) of their ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' toys, but their robots modes are depicted as mostly being modified versions of their classic character models, with Prowl having his hood chest and Ironhide his windshield chest.

===Other trivia===
*We're going to remind you now that the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon did not establish a definitive in-universe history for itself, merely making it highly plausible that events closely resembling (but not precisely matching) the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original Sunbow ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] and/or the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel ''The Transformers'' comic]] happened offscreen. While "Dawn of the Predacus" is likewise light on details about the precise details of the Great War, the author notes that this story takes place thirty years after ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'',<ref>[https://twitter.com/wordmongerer/status/716433907621736448 Tweet by John-Paul Bove, 2016/04/02]</ref> pushing it closer towards the ever-popular "Generation 1 cartoon as background" route that most other ''Beast Wars'' tie-ins have utilized. Other interviews and statements from Bove note that, in his mind, the events of "[[The Rebirth]]" also happened, furthering the idea that it was meant to take place in the cartoon continuity.
*This book was produced by [[IDW Publishing]] instead of [[Fun Publications]]. As such, it was promoted as being in continuity with IDW's other ''Beast Wars'' books as well as Fun Publications' "[[Dawn of Future's Past]]"<ref>http://wordmongerer.tumblr.com/post/142758963250/this-past-weekend-my-first-transformers-story</ref>—although it doesn't slot in perfectly into that chronology either (see "[[#"Dawn of Future's Past" errors|'Dawn of Future's Past' errors]]" above).
* Several background characters were initially going to be pre-existing characters, only for the author to change his mind about including them. Among these was [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], whose appearance on the ''Axalon'' was deliberately modified because it was decided he wouldn't be part of the crew quite yet.
* Before it was given to IDW, [[Jim Sorenson]] was asked to write a pitch for this as a ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' story. He briefly mentioned "the ghost of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] ([[Prowl II]] maybe)" working to create [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]] as a [[Builder of Cybertron|Builder]] weapon. In the end, the Tripredacus Council would have to stop its rampage by forming Predacus.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/133737-beast-wars-uprising-ama/?p=3360055 Beast Wars Uprising AMA at Allspark]</ref> Sorenson and [[Jesse Wittenrich]] later added more detail: that Magnaboss was created after the Tripredacus Council and [[Predacon Secret Police]] had started investigating combiners, and the plot would have also had Megatron creating the beast mode upgrade (a plot later done in the prose fiction). Prowl had left behind a "[[Prowl II|Prowl 2.0]]" backup copy with a plan for a last-ditch weapon and when Tigatron, Airazor, and Tarantulas try to stop it, Tigatron just becomes part of the Magna-beast. "Predacus rises to (more-or-less) heroically battle Magnaboss to the death." The ending would have Megatron's beasties (who'd have just saved Airazor) taking advantage of the power vacuum created after the combiners died trashing the Predacus and [[Maximal Command Security Force]] armies, with Tarantulas and his combiner knowledge now working for Megs...<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/140167-ama-bish-jesse-jim/?p=3516260 Wittenrich at Allspark]</ref><ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/140167-ama-bish-jesse-jim/?p=3516969 Sorenson at Allspark]</ref>
**Sorenson warned us too that ''all of this'' (and anything else demanded) would have to fit into 22 pages "and FP or Hasbro might have said no. So, don't romanticize it too much."<ref>https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/140167-ama-bish-jesse-jim/?p=3517483</ref>
*An early plan was to have Optimus on the Primal Council as Head of Science but that was dropped as "making him too prominent".
*This was originally planned as a miniseries. Cut bits would include:
**An explicit [[canonizing|canonization]] of the fan theory that [[Pretender]] and [[Micromaster]] tech had been the starting point for the Beasties (half of this longstanding theory appeared in 2013 in ''[[Beast Wars Shattered Glass]]'').
**The Golden Age, as established in "[[The Rebirth, Part 3]]", had indeed happened with just pockets of Decepticon rebellion but Galvatron blew it all up. It would've been more clearly established that there were many fighters who weren't in either main faction but were allied to them (Bove comparing this to how, in the [[World War II|Second World War]], there were multiple countries, groups, and sympathizers attached to the Allies and Axis).
**There would have been material on "the status of a number of Autobots before DotP and the some of the Cold War events after to properly begin to fill in some of the picture of a post-war world."
*This story treats "Transmatter" as something the readers are already supposed to be familiar with, but this was the first time the term had ever been used in ''Transformers'' fiction.
