:''Demolishor is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family]].''
[[File:ArmDemolishorDWCalendar.jpg|upright=2.3|thumb|They were delicious.]]
'''Demolishor''' is not the brightest soldier in [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]'s ranks, but he is one of the most reliable. He holds very true-to-[[spark]] values concerning loyalty and devotion to the Decepticon cause; to him, a leader is to be obeyed without hesitation, and he will give his all on any battefield he may be ordered onto. His values, however, sometimes collide with Megatron's ultimately selfish goals, and though Demolishor does not necessarily ''resent'' his leader for sometimes acting contrary to what he sees as the principles of his faction, he does occasionally find himself struggling to reconcile the two. Ultimately, Demolishor may find that devotion to the Decepticon way of life is not the same thing as devotion to Megatron.

His [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]], although sometimes he likes the added boost of firepower that [[Bonecrusher (Armada)|Bonecrusher]] gives him. Demolishor also commonly works alongside fellow Decepticon [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], and their shared love of combat has culminated in a genuine friendship between the two. As the somewhat sharper of the duo, Demolishor tends to reign in his friend's wild antics a bit.

[[File:Metamorphosis demolishor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?"]]
Alerted by a signal beacon to the reactivation of the long-lost [[Mini-Con]]s on [[Earth]], Demolishor joined [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] in warping to the planet. While his leader was busy battling [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], who had followed them there, Demolishor and Starscream took an interest in the nearby [[human]] children who had had been responsible for activating the beacon, but were prevented from grabbing them by the appearance of Autobot [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] and [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]]. The Decepticons withdrew to their base of operations within the wreck of the [[Exodus (Armada)|Mini-Con spaceship]] on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to regroup, where Demolishor soon picked up the signals of two more Mini-Cons the children had activated. Returning to Earth, now outfitted with a missile-tank [[alternate mode]], Demolishor joined the Decepticons in attempting to capture the children and the Mini-Cons, but found themselves obstructed by the Autobots once again. Demolishor went up against Optimus Prime himself, physically trying to restrain the Autobot leader while in his truck mode, but got blasted and run over for his efforts. {{storylink|Metamorphosis (Armada)|Metamorphosis}} During the battle that followed, another two Mini-Cons were uncovered and retrieved by [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], one of which he kept for himself, and the other which he presented to Megatron. After retreating back to the moon, Demolishor and Starscream duelled to prove themselves worthy of being given the Mini-Con; their contest was something of a draw, but Megatron gave the Mini-Con, [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]], to Demolishor. {{storylink|Base}}

[[File:Base demolishor vehiclemode.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|Rolling, rolling, rolling. Keep them wagons rolling.]]

Demolishor took part in the search for a new Mini-Con in the [[Grand Canyon]], during which he menaced Red Alert and [[Carlos Lopez]], {{storylink|Comrade}} and later squared off against Red Alert and Hot Shot alongside the other Decepticons in the Arctic, only to retreat when Optimus Prime joined the fight. {{storylink|Soldier (episode)|Soldier}} While on a mission in a heavy forest, Demolishor used Blackout to track the location of a hidden Mini-Con, and spent most of the time teasing Starscream over his lack of a Mini-Con. {{storylink|Jungle}} The tables were soon turned, though, when the Decepticons experienced some downtime, and everyone began mocking Demolishor for how clumsy and useless he was outside of a combat situation. About to slug Starscream for the insults, Demolishor only wound up proving everyone right when he tripped over [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]] and fell through the base wall. {{storylink|Carnival}}

[[File:Palace demolishor and bonecrusher.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|You know, you don't talk very much...I like you!]]

Demolishor stood guard while the other Decepticons searched the endless wastes of the [[Sahara|Sahara desert]] for a new Mini-Con signal, and nearly blasted Cyclonus when he mistook him for an enemy combatant. Actual enemies were soon to arrive in the form of the Autobots, but in the shoot-out that ensued, a subsidence caused Demolishor and the Autobots' human allies to disappear beneath the shifting sands. They all wound up in a ruined subterranean palace full of anachronistically high-tech defences that they discovered had been created through the power of the [[Mini-Con storage panel]] the temple was built around. Demolishor pursued the kids through the ruins, fighting off robotic spider-sentries, and managed to claim the Mini-Con for his own. Escaping even as the ruins collapsed around him, Demolishor activated the Mini-Con, [[Bonecrusher (Armada)|Bonecrusher]], and used its power to send the Autobots packing. Unfortunately, Megatron forced him to give Bonecrusher up because he had "disobeyed" orders by abandoning his guard post. {{storylink|Palace}}

[[File:Swoop demolishor strung up.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|"He had a baseball bat and I was tied to a ceiling. Ticking him off was the smart thing to do."]]

Demolishor was not optimistic when the Decepticons captured the Autobots' human friends [[Billy (Armada)|Billy]] and [[Fred (Armada)|Fred]], and he was right, as hostage negotiations went wrong thanks to an act of rebellion by Leader-1. {{storylink|Confrontation (episode)|Confrontation}} A Mini-Con search in the catacombs beneath a human city fared a little better; though he needed to send Blackout to search the narrower spots, Demolishor was able to join in beating up new Autobot [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] before the Decepticons secured the Mini-Con and withdrew. {{storylink|Underground (episode)|Underground}} Soon after, during a mission to a sunken underwater city, Demolishor kept the Autobots busy while Megatron searched the ruins and successfully located another Mini-Con. {{storylink|Ruin}} Following a failed attempt to secure another Mini-Con from a volcanic island, Demolishor watched as Megatron forcibly awoke the Mini-Con from the underwater ruins, which turned out to be one of a [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|trio]] who could together form the legendary [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] sword. {{storylink|Prehistory}} In a failed attempt to obtain the other two sword components, presently in Autobot custody, the Decepticons staged a raid on the Autobots' base, during which Demolishor was ambushed and strung up by Smokescreen. {{storylink|Swoop (episode)|Swoop}}

[[File:Gale demolishor and blackout.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Are you saying you have something against a 'man' and a minicon being together?"]]

Demolishor's alternate mode did not prove conducive to mountain-climbing when a new Mini-Con signal was detected on a high peak. Hot Shot proceeded to slice Demolishor's shoulder cannons off with the Star Saber, which made him reluctant enough to plead with Megatron not to attack the Autobots' base in hopes of retrieving the sword. He was prepared to take Hot Shot on again soon after, but was probably grateful when Starscream stepped in to challenge the young Autobot to a one-on-one duel instead. {{storylink|Overmatch}} Later, Demolishor stood guard when the Decepticons began tunnelling beneath a human highway for a Minicon, ordering Cyclonus into action when Blackout detecting the approaching Autobots. While the other Decepticons were busy in battle, Demolishor got stuck with digging duties, but failed to unearth the Mini-Con before the Autobots surrounded them and forced a retreat. {{storylink|Gale}} The chance for a rematch with Hot Shot soon came in a fight that carried from Earth back to the Decepticons' moonbase, which ended when the enigmatic [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] helped the Decepticons reclaim the Star Saber. With Hot Shot disarmed, Demolishor and Cyclonus gave him a brutal stomping and dumped his body back on Earth. {{storylink|Credulous}}

[[File:Conspiracy demolishor weapons mode.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb|right|After transforming Demolishor a few times in the office, Hasbro wanted to repaint him gray and black and name him Metal Gear Demolishor in hopes of selling him better.]]

The Star Saber ended up in Starscream's hands, and he swaggered around the base with it, mocking Demolishor and trying to taunt him into fights he couldn't win. Knowing that simply taking the sword would cause dissension in the ranks, Megatron used Leader-1 to trick Starscream into accidentally attacking Demolishor with the blade. Demolishor and the others were given cause to question Starscream's competency with the sword, forcing him to hand it over to Megatron. {{storylink|Conspiracy}}

When Starscream voiced his concerns that Scavenger might have went and joined the Autobots after deserting the Decepticons, Cyclonus and Demolishor pointed out that there was no evidence that the mercenary had actually switched sides. Seeing him among the Autobot ranks changed Demolishor's mind. The turncoat's tactics allowed the Autobots to thoroughly outsmart the Decepticons on the battlefield, giving them their first defeat in a long time. {{storylink|Trust (Armada)|Trust}} Demolishor then got chased around the moon by Megatron wielding the Star Saber in a supposed "training exercise". {{storylink|Vacation}} Things seemed to be going Demolishor's way when he successfully dug up the next Mini-Con, but it was then blasted out of his hands by new Autobot arrival [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]] just as he warped out. A slash to his arm from the Star Saber was his punishment, which made him redouble his efforts on the next Mini-Con hunt. The Mini-Con recovered was the final member of the [[Race Mini-Con Team|Race Team]], and Demolishor watched alongside the other Decepticons as the tiny 'bots formed the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom shield]] for the first time. {{storylink|Reinforcement}} When Megatron engineered a decisive battle between himself and the Autobots, bringing both Star Saber and Skyboom to bear, Demolishor helped out by raining fire down on the Autobots and engaging in a back-and-forth bout of boulder slinging with Smokescreen. {{storylink|Decisive Battle}}

[[File:Rebellion demolishor headshot.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|He thought of a good reason to follow Mr. Popo's pecking order.]]

When Megatron concocted a plan to divide and conquer the Autobots using the Decepticons' warp system, Demolishor was charged with coordinating the operation of the warp gates from the moon base. {{storylink|Vow}} This plan failed, as did their next offensive, and Megatron decided to take out his frustrations on Starscream. Fearing that Megatron would ''kill'' the younger 'bot, Demolishor actually blasted through the door his leader had locked in order to stop him. Observing the Decepticons' morale faltering all around him, Demolishor tried to reinvigorate his comrades, but was blind to the fact that they were all being manipulated by Sideways, who was seeking to shake up their ranks. When Sideways goaded Starscream into trying to destroy the warp gate, Demolishor stopped him, but Starscream merely redirected his anger and challenged Megatron to a duel instead. Demolishor woke the sleeping Cyclonus, and the pair watched as their two comrades duked it out, with Megatron's inevitable victory providing the renewal of morale and vigor the 'Cons required. {{storylink|Rebellion (Armada)|Rebellion}}

[[File:Desperate demolishor and minicons.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|World of Tanks: Transformers Edition]]

The arrival of boastful Decepticon tactician [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] was a source of great frustration to Demolishor, who found his position as Megatron's closest confidant usurped by the newcomer. Already publicly embarrassed by Thrust when he used his invisibility powers to trip him up, Demolishor groused his way through Thrust's first mission plan, {{storylink|Tactician}} and spent a lot of energy loudly blaming Thrust when it failed. It didn't break Megatron's trust in his new minion, however, and Thrust soon had another plan put together, but that one went awry when Optimus Prime and [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] revealed their power to combine. Demolishor was grabbed by the powered-up Autobot leader and dumped in the ocean. {{storylink|Linkup}} Demolishor's hatred of Thrust was soon exploited by Sideways, who tricked him into trying to destroy Thrust in another attempt to manipulate the Decepticons to his own ends. But both Sideways and Demolishor had been duped themselves: Thrust knew Sideways was working against them in service of a mysterious master, and allowed the scenario to play out, then all the Decepticons, including a confused and angry Demolishor, turned on Sideways and expelled him from their ranks. {{storylink|Detection}}

[[File:Sacrifice demolishor binoculars.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Swiggity swooty, I'm coming in for that booty."]]

During a later battle on a beach, Demolishor was nearly squashed when the giant Decepticon battleship [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] arrived on the scene. {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}} While Megatron merged with Tidal Wave to battle Optimus Prime and Jetfire, Demolishor led the Decepticons' Mini-Cons in a charge to keep the other Autobots busy. {{storylink|Desperate}} Some uneventful downtime followed, during which Demolishor just stood around and watched as Megatron got repaired and Thrust went off a Mini-Con search of his own (to be fair, Demolishor had wanted to go too... Thrust simply didn't bother telling him he was leaving). {{storylink|Runaway}}

Demolishor was on hand when [[Wheeljack (Armada)|Wheeljack]] was welcomed into Megatron's forces. {{storylink|Past II}} Following this, the Decepticons had Starscream and the Star Saber lure the Autobots out of their base, with Demolishor watching them through binoculars to check that they had brought the third Mini-Con weapon, the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]] with them. Once the Decepticons learned the Autobots had purposely left it at the base, Demolishor took part in an attack on the undermanned Autobot headquarters to steal the Blaster. {{storylink|Sacrifice}} Unfortunately, they didn't tell Starscream they would be doing this, and he was furious at being abandoned on the battlefield; when Demolishor tried to take the Star Saber from him for Megatron, they nearly came to blows until Demolishor backed down. The enraged Starscream proceeded to defect to the Autobots, and provided them with access codes that allowed them to invade the Decepticons' moonbase. {{storylink|Regeneration (Armada)|Regeneration}} Demolishor watched gape-mouthed as the Autobots materialized through the Decepticons' warp gate, but managed to compose himself long enough to sound the alarm. [[File:Rescue demolishor blinded by laserbeak.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|A new low.]] In the resulting battle, Demolishor chased down [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]], but was prevented from destroying the Mini-Con combiner when a precision strike by [[Laserbeak (Armada)|Laserbeak]] blinded him long enough for Hot Shot to take him out. {{storylink|Rescue}}

The Autobots successfully freed all the Decepticons' captive Mini-Cons, so Demolishor and the others were stuck filling in for the tiny 'bots, picking up where they'd left off on the construction of a spaceship, and cutting into the time the Decepticons would have otherwise spent gossiping and watching Megatron vent his anger by destroying the lunar landscape. {{storylink|Mars (episode)|Mars}} He was part of the Decepticons' next battle, which was actually a carefully constructed scheme by Thrust to bring Starscream, the Star Saber and the Skyboom back to the Decepticon fold. {{storylink|Crack (episode)|Crack}} Once Starscream was back in their ranks, however, Demolishor observed him dragging Thrust off for a private "chat"; he tried to tattle on him to Megatron, but the Decepticon leader wasn't interested. The three Mini-Cons weapons were subsequently used to power the Decepticons' completed spaceship, and Demolishor was charged with piloting the vessel, struggling but eventually succeeding in mastering the proper flow of power from the weapons to achieve successful liftoff. {{storylink|Threaten}} When Optimus Prime and Jetfire arrived to stop the ship from using its [[Hydra Cannon]] against Earth, Demolishor, Cyclonus and Wheeljack dealt with Jetfire, pinning him down and leaving him unable to stop Optimus from sacrificing himself to stop the cannon's blast. {{storylink|Crisis (Armada)|Crisis}}

[[File:Drift powerlinxdemolishor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"My god...it's full of Mini-Cons..."]]

With Optimus destroyed, Demolishor and the other Decepticons set course back to Cybertron, {{storylink|Remorse}} but soon found themselves pursued by the Autobots in a [[Axalon (Armada)|ship]] of their own. {{storylink|Depart}} Demolishor tracked the Autobots' approach, and participated in the space battle that followed, grappling with [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]]. The combat reached a surprising climax when Optimus Prime was returned to life by the Mini-Cons, {{storylink|Miracle (episode)|Miracle}} but no sooner had it ended than a worm hole suddenly appeared that sucked several of the Autobots away. Tracking the lost Autobots to a sterile alien world, Demolishor ventured down to the planet's surface with Megatron and Starscream, where they all wound up embroiled in a fierce battle with [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]], a dark clone of Optimus. Gravely wounded by the evil creature, Demolishor, Megatron, Starscream, Hot Shot, and Red Alert were saved by their Mini-Cons, who combined their energy to give their partners a power boost, [[Powerlinx|fusing their armor into new colors]] in the process. {{storylink|Puppet}}

[[File:Alliance powerlinxdemolishor vehiclemode.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|Rolling, rolling, rawhide!]]

Returning to Cybertron ahead of the Autobots, Demolishor and the Decepticons quickly subjugated the planet using the power of the Mini-Con weapons. When the Autobots arrived, they brought warning of the coming of a mysterious cosmic enemy known as [[Unicron]]; Demolishor was concerned by their story, but Megatron (now "Galvatron" after his Mini-Con power-up) refused to believe it. {{storylink|Uprising (Armada)|Uprising}} Soon after, when Hot Shot burst into the Decepticon base in an attempt to make Galvatron see reason, Demolishor and Cyclonus tried to stop him, but Wheeljack, being an old friend of the Autobot's, let him pass. During Hot Shot's explanation, Thrust was revealed to be an agent of Unicron himself, and absconded into Cybertron's depths with the Skyboom and Requiem Blaster; {{storylink|Dash (episode)|Dash}} Demolishor gave chase, but when he reported back that he had lost Thrust's trail, he was ordered at Star Saber-point by an angry Galvatron to continue searching. {{storylink|Drift (episode)|Drift}} The search for Thrust was a failure, however, Demolishor resumed his military duties, monitoring Autobot troop movements. {{storylink|Portent}}

Despite the revelation that Unicron was very real, having been hiding in plain sight as Cybertron's moon, Galvatron still refused to acknowledge his threat, and preferring to press on against the Autobots. Demolishor was busy in battle and did not witness Starscream sacrificing himself to prove Unicron's power to Galvatron. {{storylink|Cramp}} [[File:Alliance powerlinxdemolishor and blackout.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]] Demolishor was unmoved by his death, but supported Galvatron in his decision to at last ally the Decepticons with the Autobots against Unicron. Demolishor attended the formal alliance ceremony, hesitantly shaking hands with Hot Shot. He and Cyclonus subsequently joined Hot Shot and [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] on a reconnaissance mission to Unicron's surface, where Demolishor became separated from Blackout when Unicron began transforming. Believing his Mini-Con lost, Demolishor returned to the landing site in preparation for withdrawal, but an attack by a swarm of [[Dead End Drone]]s stymied them. Demolishor was taken aback when the two Autobots willingly covered him so he could help Cyclonus out of a chasm, and was given pause to reconsider his feelings towards them when Hot Shot presented him with Blackout, whom he had safely recovered for him. {{storylink|Alliance}} Analyzing the data that Blackout had gathered on Unicron's surface, Demolishor located a weak spot on the planet-sized monster's neck. While their troops attacked this sensitive area, Optimus Prime and Galvatron were able to insert themselves inside Unicron's body. {{storylink|Union}} Gathering on the bridge of the Autobots' ''Axalon'' with the others, Demolishor watched and waited; when Unicron became non-functional, he voted against attacking in fear that they would hurt Galvatron, still within. Soon, he observed as Galvatron and Prime emerged from the giant, engaged in brutal one-to-one combat, and Galvatron sacrificed himself to end the cycle of hatred that was fuelling Unicron. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}

====''Cloud''====
At some point after [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] joined the Autobots on Earth, Starscream encountered a small group of Transformers who had travelled to their world from the other-dimensional [[Cloud World]]. This caused him to miss a scheduled check-in with the Decepticon base, and Demolishor and Cyclonus were dispatched to see what had happened. They arrived after the otherworldly travellers had left, and faced off against the trio of [[Hot Shot (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Hot Shot]], [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]], and Side Swipe. {{storylink|Return}}

[[File:MegatronsSword demolishor.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|"Constructicon colors!" "...this is going to end badly for me, isn't it?"]]

Following Megatron and Unicron's apparent destruction at the climax of the [[Unicron Battles]], the alliance between the Decepticons and Autobots continued. Together, over the next ten years, they rebuilt Cybertron, and allied with humankind to establish the [[Cybertron City (city)|Cybertron Cities]] to mine [[energon]] on Earth. Demolishor was assigned to [[Ocean City]], where he guarded the city's main gate. Though he was as prone to grumbling as ever, and still put a lot of significance on the fact that he remained a Decepticon despite the alliance, Demolishor developed something of a friendship with his new allies and grew into his role.

[[File:MegatronsSword demolishor and cyclonus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Dumb and Dumber]]

Demolishor probably figured it was going to be another regular duty shift the day rebellious human [[Kicker Jones]] raised Ocean City from its usual resting place beneath the sea. Trying to stop the young punk from leaving the city without authorization, Demolishor was outmaneuvered, and didn't take kindly to Hot Shot making fun of him for it. As such, when Kicker tried to leave a second time, Demolishor was extra-dedicated to stopping him... but still failed to prevent him getting past. Kicker's second trip outside, however, had been brought on by the impending arrival of an Energon-stealing [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] horde, which Demolishor then helped fend off. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}} Reports soon came in of a Terrorcon attack on [[Asteroid City]] out in space, and [[Lunar City]] on the moon, where Demolishor's old comrades Tidal Wave and Cyclonus were stationed, respectively. When they disappeared in the attacks, Demolishor angrily claimed the Autobots would have worked harder to search for them if they had been Autobots. {{storylink|Energon Stars}} Tidal Wave soon reappeared, but had fallen in with the Terrorcon forces, claiming that their master [[Alpha Quintesson|Alpha Q]] was planning to revive Megatron for them—an allegation that shocked Demolishor and forced him to think hard on his loyalties. {{storylink|Scorpinok (episode)|Scorpinok}}

[[File:Demolishor MegSword.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|And so Demolishor became the king of England.]]

When Cyclonus returned to Earth soon after, Demolishor was overjoyed to see that his friend had survived, and the pair immediately indulged in some friendly sparring, ''while Demolishor shared the news of Megatron's potential rebirth''. Full of vigor, the duo were keen to help defend [[Plains City]] when the Terrorcon horde attacked it, but things took a turn when the Terrorcon leader [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] revealed a sword that Alpha Q had forged from Megatron's own [[spark]]. Sensing his old leader's lifeforce in the blade, Cyclonus immediately turned on the Autobots to join the Terrorcon crusade, but Demolishor was much more conflicted; when the blade was sent flying during the fighting and landed in front of him, his fear and uncertainty caused him to hesitate before picking it up, and Tidal Wave snatched it away. {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}

[[File:NewCybertronCity ironhide and demolishor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Ironhide ''and'' Ironhide!]]

Demolishor was part of the unit sent to the Arctic to help establish [[Blizzard City]], but was too distracted by what he had experienced to do much work. This led to him arguing with the Autobot [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]], who didn't trust him because he was a Decepticon, and who he in turn teased over being a rookie, but when Kicker got lost in a blizzard, the two had to join forces to search for him. Working with Ironhide to fend off a Terrorcon attack, Demolishor rejected the chance to join Cyclonus and Tidal Wave, still unconvinced that Megatron was ''really'' alive. {{storylink|The New Cybertron City}} But the truth was soon to reveal itself, when Megatron, reborn from within Unicron by the power of energon, launched a massive attack on Ocean City. After only a moment to process this revelation, Demolishor submitted himself to Megatron's leadership once more, but his time in the Autobots meant the transition was not easy: he knocked Ironhide out himself rather than let him risk his life against Megatron, and hesitated to open the door to the city when Megatron commanded it. To force him to pick one absolute loyalty, Megatron dared Demolishor to fire his weapons at him, but he could not, and reluctantly blew the door to the city open. After Megatron's forces raided the city's energon stores, Ironhide pleaded with Demolishor not to leave with them, but he departed in silence with his fellow Decepticons. {{storylink|Megatron Raid}}

[[File:EnergonTower demolishor gunfingers.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Not wholly convinced of Demolishor's loyalty, Megatron left him to stand guard over the Decepticons' base—the dormant body of Unicron itself, stolen from Alpha Q—while the villains departed on their next mission. {{storylink|Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary}} When the Decepticons tried searching the remains of Asteroid City for more energon, Demolishor was unable to find any; Megatron started bludgeoning him for his failure until he suggested they check out Lunar City. He joined Megatron and Cyclonus in raiding the moonbase, then confronted the Autobots in a brief battle in the [[asteroid belt]]. {{storylink|Battle of the Asteroid Belt}} Demolishor was slightly taken aback to learn that Ocean City would be their next attack target, but he participated in the assault nonetheless, reluctantly squaring off against an angry, vengeful Ironhide. {{storylink|Energon Tower (episode)|Energon Tower}} Returning to Unicron, they discovered Alpha Q had stolen a chunk of their energon stockpile in their absence, and had one more surprise for them: he had revived Starscream as an "energon ghost" and sent him to kill Megatron. Demolishor tried to hold off the mind-wiped spectre of his former teammate, but was helpless to stop him. Fortunately, Megatron used the power of Unicron to bring Starscream under his control, {{storylink|The Legend of Rodimus}} and Demolishor looked on as Megatron welcomed him back to the Decepticon ranks. {{storylink|Crisis in Jungle City}}

[[File:KickerBeware megatron and demolishor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|{{w|Spider-Man (2002 film)|"You have a knack for getting in trouble." "You have a knack for saving my life."}}]]

After the Autobots protected their Cybertron Cities with new [[Energon tower (technology)|energon towers]], Megatron took out his frustrations on Demolishor and Cyclonus, and tried to pry from them information on ''how'' the Autobots found energon deposits in the first place. It took Starscream's blade pressed to his throat before Demolishor would reveal the existence of Kicker's extrasensory ability to detect energon, but with that information, Megatron formulated a plan. While the Autobots were visiting the remains of Lunar City, Demolishor approached Ironhide and Kicker with the story that he had abandoned Megatron, in an attempt to lure Kicker back to the Decepticons' mobile base for capture. The plan went wrong when Scorponok, secretly working for Alpha Q, took off with the base, and Demolishor and Cyclonus's subsequent attempt to snatch Kicker was thwarted by the unseen intervention of [[Team Rodimus (G1)|Team Rodimus]]. {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}} Demolishor was aghast at Megatron's response to this failure: to simply destroy the Cybertron Cities remotely with an orbital bombardment. He tried to make his leader understand that doing so would kill many humans as well, struggling to explain that humans did not have immortal sparks like Transformers, but Megatron was immovable, and Demolishor was forced to stand by his side as the assault began. Fortunately, the Autobots erected a planetwide [[Energon grid (technology)|energon grid]] that shielded Earth from the attack. {{storylink|Energon Grid (episode)|Energon Grid}}

[[File:Energon-Demolishor-Death.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|"Damn you, Ironhide! You were the worst roommate!"]]

Demolishor was a little concerned for Cyclonus's mental state when Megatron used the power of Unicron to heal injuries he had sustained, in the process reformatting him into "Snow Cat"; Megatron brushed off his concerns, and instead excoriated his troops for their failure to locate the interfering Alpha Q. {{storylink|Rodimus Friend or Foe?}} An attempt to flush Alpha Q out only brought the Decepticons into conflict with Team Rodimus, a battle from which Demolishor convinced Megatron to retreat. Soon after, the Decepticons attacked the Autobot ship ''[[Miranda II]]'', which activated its personal [[Energon grid (technology)|energon grid]] defense system during the battle. Observing that the distracted Megatron was directly in the path of the grid, Demolishor was galvanized into making a final, fateful decision about where his loyalties lay: diving into action, he pushed his leader out of the way and took the force of the grid's blast himself. ''With his final words, Demolishor entreated the horrified Ironhide to remember him'', and then exploded. {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}}

[[File:TaleofTwoHeros demolishor hypermode.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Though Demolishor's body was destroyed, his spark persisted and was salvaged by Megatron. Using his control over Unicron's powers to fashion a new body for Demolishor, Megatron took the extra step of wiping his mind, removing any trace of his conflicted nature and degenerating him into a simple-minded, ape-like creature, easily excited and prone to grunting and jumping around. He first saw action in his new form on a blizzard-swept planet, where he and Snow Cat successfully seized an energon deposit from the Autobots, but were sent packing by a swarm of Alpha Q's new [[Cruellock]] Terrorcons. {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}} He subsequently joined the Decepticon effort to prevent the Autobots from reaching Unicron's body, {{storylink|A Tale of Two Heros}} and engaged [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]] in a vehicle-mode battle on the ''Miranda II's'' hull as both the ship and Unicron returned to Cybertron via [[space bridge]]. The Decepticons were forced to warp away when the Autobots turned the planet's energon grid on, inflicting massive damage onto Unicron's body. {{storylink|Battle Stations}} The sight of Unicron in the skies of Cybertron led the Decepticons on the planet to revolt—news that Demolishor and Snow Cat happily brought to Megatron, though he wasn't particularly bothered. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}}

[[File:SurvivalInstincts reformatted demolishor.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Demolishor was part of the unit sent down to Cybertron's surface to recruit Decepticon war criminal [[Shockblast]]. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}} Upon returning, he had to contend with an energon-starved Unicron's automatic defense attempting to impale him with huge spikes. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}} Once that situation was under control, Demolishor was part of the team sent back down to Cybertron to create an opening in the planet's energon grid by destroying energon towers, {{storylink|Each One Fights...}} then helped hold off the Autobots while Terrorcons gathered energon from the planet's core. This energon re-powered Unicron enough for Megatron to have him transform, and Demolishor helped keep the attacking Autobots busy while the process completed itself. {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}} When Unicron's transformation was done, Megatron opened his surface beneath Demolishor and Snow Cat so they could escape a standoff with Scorponok, but the Terrorcon leader dogged them through Unicron's interior, foiling their every attempt to battle the Autobots. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} Subsequently, an unstable energon reaction initiated by Alpha Q opened up a rift in space, through which Demolishor, along with Unicron and all the other Decepticons, were sucked into. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}}

[[File:ImprisonedInferno demolishor embarassed.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|On this ship, you are to refer to me as "idiot," not "you captain"! I mean - you know what I mean!]]

On the [[Alpha Q's universe|other side of the rift]], Alpha Q used Unicron's head and his energon to begin recreating all the planets that Unicron had once eaten, and Demolishor and the Decepticons began stealing the energon growing within them to continue Megatron's plans for Unicron's body. The Autobots followed, and succeeded in apprehending Shockblast; Demolishor brought news of his capture to Megatron, but the Decepticons purposely left him in Autobot custody on [[Iron Planet]] while they clashed with the Autobots for that planet's energon reserves. {{storylink|Protection}} They later made actual attempts to rescue their comrade. As the Decepticons hunted down the Autobot who had been Shockblast's guard, Inferno, Demolishor was surprised to discover that Shockblast had been demoted below him. He didn't quite grasp the concept of outranking a fellow Decepticon. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}} During the Decepticon attack on [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], Demolishor helped run interference in orbit to keep the Autobots from getting down to the planet's surface, but he and his team-mates were taken down by new Autobot arrivals [[Team Bulkhead]]. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}} Undeterred, Demolishor and the Decepticons soon made another play for Jungle Planet's energon, only to be repelled when the Autobots erected a new energon tower to shield the planet. {{storylink|Bulkhead (episode)|Bulkhead}} Not long thereafter, Demolishor accompanied Megatron in approaching Inferno, who was struggling to overcome the mind-altering programming that the Decepticon leader had inflicted upon him. When Megatron was called away to [[Ocean Planet]], Demolishor, Starscream, and Scorponok were left to help Inferno through his "transition", but Inferno elected to kill himself rather than become a Decepticon. {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}}

[[File:ReturnOurScorponok demolishor and snowcat.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|Dumb and Dumber To]]

''With an energon grid now protecting most of the planets, the Decepticons had to scavenge what they could from the half-formed world outside the grid, but Demolishor didn't mind the menial labor. He took part in the battle on the newly-formed [[Planet Q]], where he tried and failed to get Scorponok to focus on energon gathering, rather than fighting Ironhide.'' {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}} Between fights, Demolishor and Snow Cat shuttled supplies around, but had to contend with tremors that shook Unicron, spawned by Megatron's impatience. {{storylink|Crash Course}} On their next energon-gathering mission, Demolishor and his buddies came under attack from the Autobots, but managed to cover the Terrorcons' escape, allowing them to deliver the final payload of energon needed to power Unicron back up to the stage where he could move again. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} Demolishor and the other 'Con grunts then battled the Autobots on Unicron's surface, preventing them from interfering with Megatron's successful reintegration of Unicron's body and head. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}} Demolishor was first on the scene when Shockblast briefly usurped the power of the completed Unicron, but got blasted by the traitor and then expelled from Unicron's body. {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Megatron destroyed Shockblast and briefly retook control, but was soon possessed by Unicron himself, leaving Demolishor, Snow Cat, and Mirage struggling to escape the planet-eater's internal defenses. They failed, and ended up bound to Unicron's surface by energy-tentacles, giving them a front-row seat for the Unicron-controlled Megatron's battle with the gigantic, [[Primus]]-empowered Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} Fortunately for them, they were freed by a barrage of Autobot fire moments before Optimus destroyed Unicron, but were subsequently captured by [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]]. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}

[[File:Wishes rad hides from demolishor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"ONCE! IN A LIFE! TIME-" "Go away!" "What? What's wrong with my voice?"]]

With Megatron having apparently perished along with Unicron, Demolishor, Snow Cat, and Mirage were incarcerated on Cybertron, but were soon freed by Starscream, who revealed that Megatron still lived. {{storylink|Ambition}} They were joined in their breakout by Shockblast's younger brother [[Six Shot (Energon)|Six Shot]], who suggested using the planet's energon grid against the Autobots. Demolishor led him to the control room, and might have discovered its human operators, [[Rad White]] and the Jones family, hiding in a vent if he hadn't fallen flat on his face while attempting to peer inside it. {{storylink|Wishes}} Six Shot succeeded in taking control of the energon gas powering the grid and using it to force the Autobots off the planet, and the other Decepticon grunts began to feel underappreciated as Megatron (now "Galvatron" again after exposure to [[Super Energon]]) praised Six Shot for his accomplishments. However, following a battle on the hull of the ''Miranda II'', during which Demolishor and Snow Cat were clobbered by [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]], they all enjoyed watching Galvatron beat Six Shot up for taking action without orders. {{storylink|Galvatron!}} The Autobots were soon able to find a way to break through the gas shroud and return to Cybertron; Demolishor took part in the battle that followed, which concluded with the Autobots escaping underground. {{storylink|Break Through}}

[[File:IronhideTeam demolishor news reporter.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|On next week's episode, we're gonna have a roach problem!]]

At some point, Demolishor took part in a virtual fighting tournament, thanks to Six Shot hacking into an Autobot training program. Fighting as a tag team, he and Snow Cat went up against [[Prowl (Energon)|Prowl]] and [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]], and won when the two Autobots took themselves out of the fight by powerlinxing incorrectly—though in the process, the two Decepticons were inspired to try powerlinxing themselves, even if they couldn't get it quite right. Proceeding to the next round, they discovered their opponents were Galvatron and Starscream, who had already beaten virtual duplicates of the pair in their original bodies in the previous round. Frustrated to have found his minions goofing off in the game, Galvatron thrashed them, then quit the tournament. {{storylink|Distribution}}

Hoping to get a taste of the Super Energon that had empowered Galvatron and Starscream, Demolishor, Snow Cat, and Mirage went searching for the subterranean reservoir that held the miracle fuel, accidentally stumbling into Primus's chamber in the process. Finding Rad and the Jones family taking refuge there, Demolishor and Snow Cat left Mirage to stand guard and forced [[Brian Jones]] to lead them to the [[Super Energon Temple|temple]] containing the Super Energon. {{storylink|The Omega Train}} They were a little nervous about immersing themselves in it, but were finally about to take the plunge when a horde of [[Insecticon (Energon)|Insecticon Terrorcon drones]] burst out of the reservoir's depths and scared them witless. {{storylink|Decepticon Army}} Fleeing from the Insecticons, and having grown to giant size due to exposure to Super Energon, the pair headed back to the surface and sent word of the creatures' approach to Galvatron, news-reporter style. They rejoined their leader on the battlefield, just in time for Optimus to have his spark of combination re-energized by Primus's awakening. Once more able to combine with Omega Supreme, Optimus blew away all of his enemies with a whirlwind attack. {{storylink|Ironhide Team}}

Once the rogue Terrorcons were back under control, the Decepticons turned to the business of using the energon towers to move Cybertron through space, through the rift and back to Alpha Q's realm. Demolishor helped battle the Autobots as the planet moved through the rift, and later tried to defend the towers against Autobot attack, though both times, he had to contend with Six Shot's ambition constantly undermining their battlefield movements. {{storylink|Formidable}} After Six Shot purposefully allowed the towers he was guarding to overload, Demolishor was assigned to keep an eye on him alongside Snow Cat and Mirage. Six Shot soon tricked them into leaving him unattended by suggesting they make another play for the Super Energon pool. Demolishor and his buddies sped off, but quickly found the corridors all around them closing off as Six Shot used the control room to lock them in. Starscream freed Demolishor and co. a short time later, but they found themselves battling Autobots until far more world-shaking matters took precedent: Galvatron had used the Super Energon to transform himself into a giant. {{storylink|Galvatron Terror}}

Demolishor and the other Decepticons held off the Autobots as they attacked the towering form of the Decepticon leader, but as he grew larger and larger and the planet's surface began to crack under his weight, Demolishor followed Snow Cat's advice to get the heck out of there. Under the sway of the still-living consciousness of Unicron, Galvatron took off for space, towing Cybertron behind him on a Super Energon cable; Demolishor and the rest followed, offering some token return fire at the pursuing Autobots. {{storylink|Destructive Power}} When Optimus Prime used the power of Unicron to grow to a titan of equal height, Demolishor and Snow Cat broke off from the battle to excitedly watch the two giant leaders duke it out on Jungle Planet. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}} Unable to make much in the way of a contribution to the huge scale of the final battle, Demolishor, Snow Cat, and Mirage could only spectate as the possessed Galvatron shook off Unicron's influence long enough to sacrifice himself by plunging into a foundling energon sun created by Primus. While loyalists Starscream and Mirage followed their leader into solar oblivion, the long-suffering Demolishor and Snow Cat could only float in space and ponder what to do next with their lives. {{storylink|The Sun}}

Ten years after the Battle for Energon, when the [[Unicron Singularity]] forced the evacuation of Cybertron, Demolishor was left behind on their deserted homeworld. Through circumstances unknown, he had reverted to a version of his original Earth body (no word on whether his mentality recovered as well), and kept himself busy by fighting off the [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]] horde that began infesting the planet soon after. Demolishor heard rumors that Megatron had once again returned from the dead, but after the ordeal he went through last time, he hoped it was not true, since he found that he enjoyed not being pushed around by his commander for once. {{storylink|#Cybertron|Demolishor's ''Cybertron'' toy bio}}

====''Timelines''====
During the search for the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, Decepticon sniper [[Swindle (Cybertron)|Swindle]] bitterly remarked on Demolishor and Snow Cat's disappearance from the Decepticon ranks, considering it evidence of how little good loyalty to Megatron would do to advance a 'bot's standing in life. {{storylink|Force of Habit}}

Millions of years later, when a Mini-Con signal was broadcast from Earth, the Decepticons picked it up and quickly made plans to travel to Earth. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 3|Armada #3}} Upon arrival, Demolishor, Cyclonus and [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] broke into a [[human]] military base, where Demolishor scanned a tank for his new [[alternate mode]] (though the resulting tank mode wasn't particularly close to the source). {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 4|Armada #4}} While the other Decepticons began fighting the Autobots who had followed them to Earth, Demolishor ambushed the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team]], [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] and three human kids. He captured the Mini-Cons and expressed interest in taking the humans apart to see where all their courage came from. Then four other Mini-Cons swarmed his face and shattered his targeting reticle "eyepatch". {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 5|Armada #5}}

After the Decepticons successfully captured the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]], Demolishor helped bring them back to the Decepticon base at [[Silver Ridge]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 6|Armada #6}} He later participated in the attack on the [[Autobase|Autobot base]], but didn't do much other than stand around and take offense to Starscream's claims that Megatron didn't need any underlings when he had the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 7|Armada #7}} A little later, Demolishor joined Starscream and Cyclonus in capturing two humans who had been befriended by Starscream's Mini-Con [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]], but unfortunately for them, they turned out to be the Autobots' human allies Rad and Carlos. The Autobots soon arrived to rescue their friends, and when Swindle turned on the Decepticons for tricking him into thinking he was going to be released, the villains retreated. {{storylink|Armada Free Comic Book Day}}

[[File:WorldsCollide2 Demolishor vs SmokescreenScavenger.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3]]

When the Decepticons' Mini-Cons escaped, Demolishor and the others pursued them to [[Kansas]], where they fired impotently on a [[Mini-Con Ark|large object]] that was stealing all of Earth's Mini-Cons. They were then distracted by the arrival of several Autobots, and could only watch as the object rocketed off into space. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 8|Armada #8}} After figuring out that the Mini-Cons had ended up on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], the Decepticons chased after their precious power-ups. As Demolishor was the only Decepticon incapable of flight (Megatron got temporary rocket thrusters), he was left behind to guard the base. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 9|Armada #9}} He wasn't very good at it, though, and was beaten up by Autobots who wanted to use the Decepticons' [[space bridge]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 10|Armada #10}}

When said space bridge stopped working some time later, Megatron ordered Demolishor and Starscream to fix it. Neither of them knew how. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4}} The Decepticons later learned that [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] had gone missing, and they seized the opportunity to perform an all-out assault on the Autobots. Demolishor found himself facing down [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] and [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] on a thin mountain road, and decided to play a game of chicken with them. He won, as both Autobots swerved away and fell off the road, where Smokescreen was seriously injured by Megatron. Shortly afterwards, their winning streak was interrupted by a [[Galvatron (G1)|mysterious powerful Transformer]] who knocked out Demolishor, Cyclonus and Starscream in short order. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 2 of 4}} As it turned out, the stranger had been a [[Herald of Unicron|Herald]] of [[Unicron]], who was on his way to destroy Cybertron. The Decepticons were forced to ally themselves with the Autobots and return to their home planet in order to fight him off. Demolishor survived the battle with Unicron and was seen among the crowds of cheering Transformers in the aftermath. {{storylink|The End (Armada)|The End}}

====Dreamwave ''Energon'' comic====
[[File:StarscreamEnergon-Multiplicity3.jpg|thumb|right|Giddy-up now...TO HELL!]]
Some time in Cybertron's past, during the war, Demolishor was part of a battle in which [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] led an attack on an Autobot bunker. Demolishor watched the battle from a Decepticon saucer-ship, alongside Megatron, Starscream, Cyclonus and Thrust. {{storylink|No Exit}}

Ten years after the battle with Unicron, Unicron's [[Unicron's Four Horsemen|Four Horsemen]] attacked Cybertron. Demolishor was among the Transformers called in as reinforcements against this new threat. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Two}} Some time later, he was stationed at the [[energon]] ore processing plant [[Deltos-Five]] when its systems started going haywire. Grumbling that Thrust had left him to deal with technical difficulties while ''he'' got to have fun fighting [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] on Earth, Demolishor made his way into the facility, where he was ambushed by a ghostly Starscream. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}}

Demolishor was recovered by [[Alpha Quintesson]] and upgraded into a new body via the power of Unicron. Placed on Earth shortly before the Autobots erected a [[Energon grid (technology)|global energy shield]], Demolishor was charged with kidnapping [[Kicker Jones]], and tracked the boy down just as he as attempting to play hooky from a training session at [[Alterenergy|AlterEnergy]]. Demolishor approached in his new dump truck alternate mode, and Kicker actually flagged him down in hopes of hitching a lift before Demolishor revealed his true nature. {{storylink|Doomsday Redux!}} Demolishor's specially-tailored new form allowed him to first shrug off energon blasts from the human boy, and then easily take out an AlterEnergy rapid response team, before grabbing Kicker and absconding. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 1}}

With Alpha Quntession unable to teleport him off-planet thanks to the energy shield, Demolishor went into hiding; AlterEnergy began searching the planet for him, {{storylink|Armageddon Part 2}} but he was holed up in a cave in [[Mexico]], by a space bridge portal, waiting for Alpha Quintesson's forces to take out the shield down so he could use the bridge to bring Kicker to his master. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 3}} An AlterEnergy team led by Rad tracked him down before that could happen, but Demolishor was ready for them and the Autobot backup they brought, and was able to fight them to a standstill. Word then came through from Alpha Quintesson that the energy shield was down, so Demolishor broke off the fight and returned to the chamber he had been keeping Kicker in, only to find that the boy had been freed by Rad and Carlos while he had been busy in battle. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 4}} Demolishor immediately gave chase through the caves, but when he caught up to them, Kicker stood his ground and used his special powers to channel the energy of all the energon on Earth, using it to utterly destroy Demolishor. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 5}}

Demolishor was among the Decepticons who had a great time kidnapping Mini-Cons back when the war broke out. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Counter-Strike!}}

In modern day, he was sent to [[Earth]] to search for escaped Mini-Cons alongside [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] and [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]]. Demolishor was apparently still searching elsewhere when the rest of the Decepticons were beaten up by the Autobots and fled. {{storylink|Friends and Foes!}} Eventually, he sawed his way into the wreckage of the Mini-Cons' ship, as he had orders from [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] to retrieve its [[locator log]]. He was surprised to find the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team|Street Action Team]] in the ship, and wasn't sure what to do with the situation. Deciding that the best course of action was violence, he began blasting the Mini-Cons but was distracted when [[Rad White]] grabbed the locator log and ran for it. Demolishor followed in his tank mode, only to drive straight into an unstable part of the cave, where the vibrations from his treads caused the hidden log to explode and collapse the cave on top of him. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 3|Deep Trouble!}}

Some time later, Demolishor participated in an attack on the Autobots when they were trying to send their Mini-Cons back to Cybertron. Though the Mini-Cons ultimately decided to stay on Earth, the Decepticons destroyed the Autobots' space bridge anyways. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 4|No Way Back!}} [[File:PaniniArmada9 demolishor powerlinx.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5]] He and Cyclonus were then sent to search for Mini-Cons on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. The Autobots [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] and [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] followed them, but were no match for the Mini-Con-augmented Decepticons. Demolishor shot Smokescreen down and prepared to squash him under his tracks, but didn't expect the Autobot to suddenly get a Mini-Con partner of his own. Powered by [[Liftor]], Smokescreen delivered a powerful punch to the incoming Demolishor, driving him back. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 6|Between Two Worlds!}}

When the Decepticons planned to [[Nuclear weapon|nuke]] the Autobots from their new lunar base, Demolishor caught a transmission from the Autobots' Mini-Cons, who offered to surrender in exchange for the Autobots' lives. He reported this to Megatron, who opted to take the Mini-Cons then blow the Autobots up anyway. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 8|Earthshaker!}} The plan was a huge failure, ending with the destruction of the Decepticon base and no Mini-Cons to show for it. Demolishor cheerfully referred to the whole thing as a "bit of a blip in the old world-conquest plans", which promptly got him punished by the disgruntled Megatron. Suddenly, Cyclonus showed up and started attacking his fellow Decepticons. He turned out to be possessed by the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]], who were using him to get rid of Megatron once and for all. After watching the two duel for a while, Demolishor power-linked with [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]] and entered the fray, but did little damage to Cyclonus. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Dawn of Destruction!}}

Megatron and Demolishor were searching the area around the Autobot base for Mini-Cons when they were, unsurprisingly enough, stumbled upon by Optimus Prime and Hot Shot. Demolishor tussled with a vehicle mode Optimus, but evidently didn't fare too well, as the Autobot leader was seen battling Megatron moments later. Bested, the "cowardly" pair warped away. {{storylink|Cave Catastrophe}}

Megatron and Demolishor later launched a sneak attack against the kids when they left themselves in the open, and were yet again bested by the two Autobots when they came to render aid. {{storylink|Race to Disaster}}

===Reader's Digest ''Armada'' novels===
Demolishor was one of the Decepticons warped to the planet Earth after the Mini-Cons, who had long been dormant there, awoke. The Decepticons' initial attack against the Autobots was rebuffed, and they began building a base of operations on the Moon by reinforcing the partial remains of the Mini-Cons' ship.

Demolishor and Starscream were tasked by Megatron to scan all of the Earth's vehicles to find suitable alternate modes. When Megatron checked in on their progress, Demolishor presented Earth's mightiest military vehicles to his leader. Demolishor chose a "missile tank" alternate mode for himself. Megatron then led the members of his inner circle on an assault on the Autobots' base on Earth. The assault was briefly halted when Megatron spotted the Autobots' human allies, Rad, Alexis and Carlos, rush into the war-zone. Megatron demanded that the children hand over their Mini-Con companions. But Optimus Prime and his Autobots weren't far behind, and they launched a counter-attack against the Decepticons. Demolishor tried to blast Optimus, only for his missile to be deflected by the Autobot Red Alert. Subsequent assaults on the Autobots proved futile, as Optimus assumed his "Super Optimus Prime" mode and overwhelmed the Decepticons with pure brute strength. The balance of power shifted even further in the Autobots' favor when Red Alert and Hot Shot acquired Mini-Cons. Red Alert used the new strength bestowed upon him by his new partner, Longarm, to lift Demolishor up off the ground, then Hot Shot used the electrical powers granted to him by his Mini-Con, Jolt, to short out the Decepticon's circuits. Megatron soon recognized that the Decepticons were outmatched and ordered a retreat.

Back on the moon, the Decepticons squabbled over their defeat until Cyclonus teleported in late. As it turns out, two other Mini-Con panels had been uncovered by the children during the fight, and Cyclonus had managed to snatch them away before fleeing. Megatron allowed Cyclonus to keep one of the Mini-Cons, while the other was given to Demolishor. Demolishor named his new partner “Blackout." {{storylink|Transformers Armada: Race for the Mini-Con Robots|Race for the Mini-Con Robots}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' "Super-Con Class" toy (basically "Deluxes"), Demolishor transforms into an anti-aircraft missile tank of made-up model, though it appears to be heavily based on the ADATS weapon system. His primary Mini-Con gimmick is the twin spring-loaded missile launcher in his left shoulder; attaching any Mini-Con to the Powerlinx port there pops the launcher forward, after which the missiles can be fired simultaneously by pulling the Mini-Con back. Reportedly, Demolishor was to feature this gimmick in both shoulders, but it was cut back to one for cost considerations, so his right shoulder now simply holds two spare missiles.

: In vehicle mode, Demolishor features extra Mini-Con compatibility design specially around his partner [[Blackout (Armada)#Toys|Blackout]]. When in vehicle mode, Blackout can be inserted into the space between Demolishor's front treads, forming a more "complete"-looking tank. Blackout can then be launched into action by a small spring-loaded launcher, activated by a tiny button on Demolishor's back end. Also on the back end is a flip-out seat that Blackout or any other appropriately-jointed Mini-Con can sit in to "man" his guns (Though Blackout's hand-guns plug quite nicely into the screw-holes in the back of Demolishor's turret, making it look like a more direct interface). The seat can also be used for Demolishor's rudimentary "Attack Base" mode, which involves folding out his legs/treads to turn him into an elevated anti-aircraft station.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Legends of the Microns'' "Ironhide" and [[Sonokong]] ''Eunha Yeongung: Cybertron'' "Hide" releases, render the figure in more primary, show-accurate colors, painting him a more greenish shade of tan, making his face brown rather than black, and features a Decepticon symbol with proper "separated" [[Paint operation|paint applications]], among several other smaller paint changes.

: This toy doubles as Generation 1 [[Demolisher (G1)|Demolisher]].

: Part of the final wave of ''Armada'' product, this [[redeco]] of the original Demolishor gives him in a new red and off-white color scheme, roughly [[Homage|homaging]] [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] due to Demolishor being named after Ironhide in Japan. According to [[Aaron Archer]], he was originally intended to be colored like [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]], because Demolishor's gun-hands reminded him of Sixshot (we don't get it either—maybe he meant [[Six-Gun|Six-''Gun'']]?),<ref>{{citesocial|quote=While the repaint was originally supposed to be painted in a “Generation One Sixshot-like” color scheme, the plans were scrapped.|link=https://news.tfw2005.com/2003/04/09/demolishor-repaint-confirmed-179|name=Tim Formas|site=TFW2005|year=2003|month=03|day=09}}</ref> but the red color scheme was decided upon and used in the animated series first, so the toy had to follow suit. Reflecting the late nature of this change, his packaging depicts a normal-colored Demolishor toy, as the colors had not been decided upon by the time cardback photography was required.

: The Takara "Ironhide Super Mode" release is similar to the Hasbro one, but its colors are once again lightly tweaked to look more cartoony, in darker, more primary shades, and not as glossy. It also lacks the dark blue paint on top of the Hasbro version's head, and once again has a "separated" Decepticon symbol rather than a block-painted one.

:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Demolishor (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Demolishor]].

: One of the smaller ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' sets, Demolishor's vehicle mode is still an anti-aircraft missile tank, but with only one spring-loaded rocket per side, activated by a rotating "drum" on top of the launcher. He also features working rubber treads, and a 2x2 "[[Powerlinx]]" plate than can be used by both ''BTR''-based and regular-type [[Mini-Con]]s, though the grip on the latter is not terribly great. He is "transformed" by removing pretty much everything on the "Trans-Skeleton" core, flipping out the limbs, then adding ''some'' of the parts back on to create a super-top-heavy, awkward robot.

: He also comes with a building-block version of [[Blackout (Armada)#Built to Rule!|Blackout]].

: His 1x4 plates with the flat area in the middle would later show up in some ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets.

: Demolishor's and Cyclonus's ''Armada'' toys (with their respective Mini-Cons) were [[redeco]]ed for the initial assortment of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Super Link]]'' line. It's quite possible that their new color palettes were chosen to fit with Takara's plans to characterise the new ''Energon'' Demolishor and Snow Cat toys as upgraded forms for these two; Demolishor has a very [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]-esque color palette of lurid green and purple with hazard stripes, with his new ''Energon'' toy having originally been conceived in homage to the Constructicon [[Long Haul (G1)|Long Haul]].

: These toys were only released in America ''much'' later, towards the end of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' line as [[KB Toys]] [[exclusive]]s. These releases were identical apart from their packaging, which naturally sold them under their Western-market names.

: ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Demolishor's new body transforms into a large "earth-mover" dump truck. His truck bed contains four spring-loaded missiles, plus four "false", non-firing missiles. His center torso block can rotate forward to bring his launcher over his body for "[[Super Mode|Hyper Mode]]"... which puts his head right in the middle of his sternum. His truck bed also features two pairs of "dead" Powerlinx plugs to attach Mini-Cons to, one pair on each side of the "flap", allowing for Mini-Con Powerlinxing in both truck and [[robot mode]]s. The [[Spark crystal|spark crystal]] on his abdomen/front bumper can be used to mount an [[Energon star|energon chip]] to.

: The truck bed also has possibly the biggest Decepticon [[insignia]] on a Deluxe-level toy ''ever''.

: Care should be taken with his elbows, as the pinned clear plastic joints can snap when bending or straightening out his arms.

: According to Hasbro in [[Hasbro Q&A/August 2009: Answers|a Q&A]], he was originally supposed to be a new character named [[Long Haul (disambiguation)|Long Haul]].

{{toydesigner|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: A late addition to the [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toy line]], the original ''Armada'' Demolishor figure was redecoed in a more military camo scheme. He does not come with his Mini-Con partner Blackout in this release; instead, Demolishor and his [[wave]]-mate [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#CybDx|Optimus Prime]] debuted a new [[Cyber Key]] variant: [[retool]]ed from the standard "[[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]" style key, this version lacked a sculpted [[insignia]], so that any symbol could be [[tampograph]]ed on to it, and featured a [[Mini-Con]]-style [[Powerlinx]] socket on the back, allowing it to operate the figure's formerly-Mini-Con-activated missile launcher feature without the figure itself having to be retooled.

: The key sports a tampographed Decepticon insignia, a purple border, and a [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] tampographed on the back. This code, when entered on Hasbro's website, was ''supposed'' to unlock additional information on the character or the toy, but due to an error on behalf of Hasbro, it unlocked information intended for Demolishor's wave-mate, the aforementioned Deluxe Class Optimus Prime; Demolishor's information was instead unlocked using the code "D56B", which was tampographed on the back of the Cyber Key included with said Optimus Prime toy.

:One of eight [[McDonald's]] ''Armada'' promotional toys, Demolishor is a simple toy that transforms from Cybertronian tank to robot in a few steps. His right arm/cannon features a "battle damage" pop-off gimmick that is activated when a yellow button on the front of his tank mode is pressed.

:He has a [[Powerlinx]] post on his front left tread that you can attach Mini-Cons to, though its main purpose is to allow him to combine with the other Happy Meal Decepticons to form a [[Mighty Vehicle]]. The back of his head has a Mini-Con Powerlinx port, so he can activate Mini-Con features on larger toys, but given its location and his size, it would be a pretty awkward fit on most figures.

: ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Super Collection Figure]]'' Demolishor ("Ironhide" in Japan) is a 3-inch tall soft-plastic figurine based on his animation model. Made to pop apart, he has limited articulation, with swivel neck, waist, shoulders and legs. He came in two paint schemes: full-color and pewter-finish, each available at an equal ratio of one each per case of twelve figures. Be careful with the pewter version, as the pegs are often painted, leading to super-tight fits and occasional breakage.

: Like all normal SCF figures, he was sold in a [[blindpacking|blind-box]] assortment, so you could not tell which mold or color scheme you got until you actually opened the box.

He also has removable missiles, and comes with a really teeny version of [[Blackout (Armada)#MSCF|Blackout]].

: As the Mega SCFs are all based on a singular ball/socket and clip system for joints, you can swap parts from any figure around with any other in the line... as long as there's enough clearance, of course.

==Notes==
[[File:ARgame-DemoFight.jpg|right|thumb|ARHH!!|upright=1.3]]
*According to the Armada IP Creative Bible, one of his production names was '''Scourge'''. Get it, Scourge, [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], and [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]]?
*According to [[Aaron Archer]], Demolishor was loosely based on a pirate, hence the eyepatch design and his name being ''Demolish'''or'''''.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=I originally thought of him as a Pirate (accent on the OR at the end of his name) but he is also a tank type body proportion based on his vh form.

*Meanwhile, his vehicle mode was based on a concept from [[Draxhall Jump]]; of the various designs they produced for ''Armada'', his was the only one to make it through to the final product more or less unchanged.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=DHJ worked on a couple of Armada items and the only one that really stayed the same from their design is the Demolishor Vh. I did the robot and it was based on a Takara model, so it is hard to give any one group "credit" for being the one responsible for a given product.|name=Aaron Archer|site=TFW2005|year=circa 2002}}</ref>
*Demolishor was originally planned to be in the [[Transformers (Armada PS2)|''Armada'' PlayStation 2 game]] as a long-running boss fight in the Antarctic. According to the original storyboards (unlocked in the game by finding the appropriate [[Data-Con]] on the [[Pacific Island]] base), he was the pilot of the crashed starship (instead of [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]]), and the player would have first fought him inside the control room of the ship. [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] was then to fire on the ship when Demolishor was near defeat, which would cause the ship to crash into the chasm below. The player would then have to chase Demolishor vertically through the downed ship and into an ice cavern, where he would try and drop stalactites on your head during your final confrontation. Why Demolishor was removed from the game is unknown, though the most likely explanation is time and budget concerns.
*There was almost one more toy in the above list! ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Onslaught (G1)#Combiner_Wars|Onslaught]] had a "[[retool|pretooled]]" alternate head that would have made it represent Demolishor. This head tooling was never used, though a test prototype surfaced on the Chinese site [[TaoBao]] in 2015.<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/looks-like-were-getting-a-cw-demolisher.1051737/ TFW2005 thread, 19 September 2015]</ref>
*Demolishor's scrapped renaming into '''Long Haul''' for his dump truck body in ''Energon'' leaves him the odd man out compared to "[[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]]" and "[[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]]".
*Demolishor's Energon CG model inconstantly fluctuated between one bearing his toys shrimpy arms and one with larger, more proportionate ones. The color of his hands is also known to swap without reason between green and black.
*Despite originating in the Unicron Trilogy, Demolishor has had [[Demolishor (SG)|two]] [[Demolishor (WFC)|characters]] based on him appear in [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|two]] [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|separate]] Generation 1-influenced continuities, both before he actually got a [[Demolisher (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]]. Probably helped by [[Demolishor (ROTF)|his third namesake]] appearing in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''.

**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Optimus Prime'''

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in [[robot mode]]. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. His hands are designed to hold 3 mm-compatible weapons.

:The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy's subsidiary Subarudo.

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

: Released in the third wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into on-screen. His driver cabin now features a small interior with an opening driver-side door with a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg onto his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a Robo-Vision Decoder. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Released in the first wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Leader Class toys, this Optimus Prime, at the time, was the most accurate representation of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [https://web.archive.org/web/20070814100030/http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His [[Ion blaster]] weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel hitch is sculpted in the rear of the truck. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

:Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms.

: As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus's final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a "powering up" sound effect.

:Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints, and ankles. His hands even have individually articulated fingers and thumbs!

**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"

:The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a [[retool]] and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.

:The paint deco is... unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners, and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.

:Unlike the initial ''Premium Series'' toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment. The instructions still depicts the original Leader Class mold's head.

Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro's Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its "powered up" appearance.

:[[Fast Action Battlers|Fast Action Battler]] Power Hook Optimus Prime is a (roughly) Deluxe sized figure made for younger children than the rest of the mainline and was designed to have a quick conversion and an action feature. This actually translates to him being made of a series of Automorph mechanisms that facilitate what is for the most part, a one step transformation. Just split the front of the truck along the seam and Optimus' chest and arms swing into place while his feet pop out. The sides of the truck even feature little sculpted arrows to remind you what to do! He has a little string attached to his missile tied to his "backpack" to let you imagine he's reeling things in with his hook. It also means little ones don't lose it, but other figures in the line featured firing missiles which weren't tied to anything, so that's probably not why it's there. The launching hook isn't Prime's only gimmick though, as his waist is spring loaded in one direction for a punch (or maybe even kick) attack. For whatever reason, the balls in his hip joints are cast from clear blue plastic so they may be a point of fragility.

:Unsurprisingly, he is relatively inaccurate to the film's design.

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "[[core body]]". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be transform into his meteor-like "entry mode". This mode can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet.

:Optimus Prime's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. Compared to the overly simple transformation of the protoform mode, his truck mode's transformation can be described as an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess''.

: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.

Of note is the [[tampograph]]ed detailing on his chest resembling movie Prime's distinctive chest design.

: This toy was a [[campaign item|promotional freebie]], exclusively available in Japan with a pre-order for the ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' DVD/HD-DVD from Paramount Pictures Japan.

: Made under license by [[RadioShack]]. The three-function infrared remote, in Optimus Prime's signature colors, gives you control of the truck with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a truck styled after the Movie character, it also transforms to robot mode. The top of the gun-shaped IR remote serves as a display stand, though the gun itself can't stand freely. The tip of the gun also unscrews to reveal a hidden ball-point pen.

[[File:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don't I look awesome with my corpse backpack?]]

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends class Optimus Prime is a much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn't inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy. It should be noted that he was molded in only one paintable plastic color, with red and blue deco patterns decked on it. The top of the truck's bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn't mentioned in the instructions, though they're hardly needed.

: Compared to the final product, stock photos of the figure loses blue paint operations on his knee armor. This mold was also used to make [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event. Optimus also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen EZ Collection sets. And like all the first waves, he comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the Revenge of the Fallen toyline. His pair of legs is also mistranformed to fit in the bubble.

:In Malaysia, this toy was one of the four Legends Class toys to be released as promotional merchandise for the Petronas Gas Station. He could be obtained starting from the 12th of July, via RM30 ($7.04) worth of gas or RM15 ($3.52) worth of foods and items in the Mesra Shop.

:Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be warned, there is a very convincing-looking [[knockoff]] that's been making the rounds. While the paint applications are pretty much identical to the real deal, the pegs on the legs/trunk front can be a little too tight when attached. in some worst cases; it can break off if attempted to pull off by force.

:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|first movie's toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot [[insignia|logo]] on the side of the truck's bunk, and hanzi (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军" means "Shanghai General", while "大将" means "Grand general". The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.

:The Japanese version of the toy, named "Optimus Prime Revenge Edition", was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail ''Revenge'' toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the [[tampograph]]ed Chinese.

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]'' Optimus Prime would have been a redeco of the 2007 Optimus Prime Voyager-Class mold in a similar style to the Leader-Class Buster Optimus Prime (see below), with a much more accurate and detailed paint scheme, including white stenciled flames. He would have come with a set of [[Jetfire (Movie)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]] armour parts to form the powered-up Optimus Prime seen at end of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', and due to not having to form Jetfire's robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie's design of them than the leader class Jetfire toy could manage. While not combined to Optimus Prime, the armour can be arranged to form a sort of weapon emplacement mode or a jet engine on the back of Optimus's vehicle mode.

:Both Jet Power Optimus Prime and the accompanying redeco of Voyager-Class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#UniteMegatron|Megatron]] would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece Movie]]'' releases of Leader-Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]]. Of amusement is the fact the comics are essentially showcasing toys that have been canceled.

The articulation is limited to hinges on his arms, legs and shoulders, all three of them being contingent from his transformation.

:Towering at only barely over two inches, this is actually not just the smallest movie-verse Optimus but even the smallest transformable figure of Optimus Prime for a while - ironically enough, being even slightly tinier than the [[Smallest Transforming Transformers]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]].

:This toy is also the basis for the fiction-only [[Transformers Part One]] version of [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-01'''
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie's Leader-class Optimus Prime.

:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime's entire pectoral region "flexes", lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares "I am Optimus Prime" in [[Peter Cullen]]'s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just "Optimus Prime"; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises.

:Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime's arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime's arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable. The blades are removable by unscrewing the three screws on the arm lower panel. Removing the blades makes the arms swivel. The flip-out blades would be omitted in the Jetwing and Striker releases.

:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro's photos is that the sun visors above Prime's windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime's lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy.

:Overall, the robot mode of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 ''Transformers'' Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.

[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who's your daddy? He is.]]
:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] to form Jetpower Optimus Prime by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy. It is best to not constantly attach and remove Jetfire's missile gun on the pin of Optimus arm since the pressure applied will bend the pin holding the arm panel of the hood.

[[File:Rotf optimus stock photo 1.jpeg|thumb|right|upright=1]]
:Like several new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos of the hand-painted [[prototype]] (pictured right), the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. The rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime's CG design. The lower arms were originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Finally, his fingers are no longer articulated, and instead the entire hand is now one molded piece. The articulated fingers would later be used for the ''Asia Premium Series'' and ''Movie The Best'' releases.

:As a result of striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime ends up being remarkably complex for the time, with the figure essentially exploding into a series of chunks and panels that need to be aligned just right in order to come together in truck mode. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even ''harder''. Also, let us not forget that, upon transforming him back to robot mode, he will declare his identity over and over and over and over and over until you're finished.

:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release. This version can also attach [[Energon star]]s.

:The entire mold became a victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from upscaled (and sometimes simplified) molds to high-quality clones. Several of his redecoes/retools below also suffers from this.

:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market-[[exclusive]] Leader Class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (Movie)#JetfireBuster|Jetfire]] and a slightly altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but unlike the standalone Buster Prime, has a head with a faceplate, itself containing more paint details than the first release of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.

:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version ''doesn't'' use the improved version of Optimus' [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.

This release of Buster Optimus Prime was susceptible to a paint scraping issue on the silver painted slide-out barrel of his blaster. This problem was fixed for the [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|DOTM Re-release]] by relocating the silver paint app from the barrel to the inside wall of an exposed gas tank that had been previously left as unpainted grey plastic. The black paint app on the barrel was left unchanged.

:In mid 2010, this set was released in Australia. In early 2011, it was released in the Philippines. In late 2011, [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|this set]] was [[Rebranding|re-released]] in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[packaging]].

: He comes bundled with redecos of [[The Fallen#Transformers (2010)|The Fallen]], [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Legends Class toys 3|Megatron]], [[Jetfire (Movie)#Legends Class toys 2|Jetfire]], and [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Legends Class toys 3|Starscream]] in a [[Kmart]]-exclusive five-pack. To date, this is the only Hasbro release of this figure that acknowledges the combining feature between Jetfire and Optimus Prime.

: This redeco was also re-released as part of the ''Chronicle'' EZ Collection lineup. ([[#Chronicle|See below]].)

: This Japanese-exclusive release of Optimus Prime features much more black coloring than the previous releases, and it's (coincidentally) based on the Fast Action Battlers Power Armor Optimus Prime toy, so as to be used with the similarly-repainted Legends Jetfire figure to form the Optimus' powered up combination. For some reason, he has red eyes.

: This redeco also uses the slightly-smaller fuel tank/elbow tabs from the "Battle Damaged" release.

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

: Released in the second wave of 2010 ''Transformers'' Voyagers, Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design, while also being much more movie accurate than the previous Voyager incarnations. He features two [[Dual Energon Swords|energon swords]] made of soft plastic, similar to his Leader Class incarnation, albeit not spring-loaded. They can be detached from the mushroom joints they're on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp.

: He also has a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] in his chest which is made of unpainted gray plastic. In an awesome homage, the Movie Matrix rests on a stand molded to look like its Generation 1 incarnation.

: His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two "[[barrage cannon]]s". Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point.

: The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime's transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime's head magically clipping through his chest to transform. The instructions also neglect to mention that his heel/bumper pieces must be slid out until they ''click'', making the figure just that bit more stable, and that the rotating truck door panels on his upper arms can be pulled further out (but not off) from their sockets, allowing more space for the panels to swing around his hood-arms during transformation. It should be noted that the chest windows on all releases of this sculpt are prone to slight cracking, often out of the packaging.

: The TakaraTomy ''Autobot Alliance'' release of this toy has some significant differences. Color-wise, the red plastic is in a darker shade, his shin and wheel joints are grey rather than Hasbro's bronze, and the Matrix of Leadership has been painted silver. More immediately noticeable is that the dual energon swords have been replaced with a pair of battle hooks, similar to 2010's Leader Class Optimus Prime (see below). However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the swords rather than the hooks.

: This mold was also used to make ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

: Released in the first wave of ''Transformers'' Leader class toys, this [[retool]] of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class Optimus Prime features the head from [[#BusterOptimus|Buster Optimus Prime]], and has had his blades replaced with semi-articulated Battle Hooks for face-destroying action! He has a darker paint job and sports black splotches on his body and head to signify battle damage. However, due to these extra "battle damage" paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' release were omitted.

: He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous "I am Optimus Prime!" with "We must stop the Decepticons!" The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated "Optimus Prime" sound clip as the original release. To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about ''anywhere'' outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia). The box also mentions racing sounds, which may or may not be referring to the button-activated diesel engine noises carried over from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' version of the figure.

: This version uses the TakaraTomy version of the instructions, which improved upon the original Leader-Class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.

:Like his EZ Collection Real brethren, Optimus Prime comes with two different variants: The "Real Color" features a flat shade on the plastic colors and paint, while the "Metallic Color" features metallic paint and plastic instead.

{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro), [[Hisao Nishimoto]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Released as part of the first wave of the [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander class figures, this Optimus Prime is a roughly Scout-sized figure. He comes with a jetpack that can combine with both his truck and robot modes. The jetpack attaches via [[C joint]] clips, and the jetpack can transform in and out of a winged configuration when Optimus is in truck mode. Optimus himself features C joint bars for his smokestacks and trailer hitch, as well as bars on the top of his headache rack, while his hands and jetpack can hold/mount his rifles via C joint-related 3 mm clips/holes.

:Optimus was first released as a "Limited Edition Preview" in [[Calendar|March]] [[2011]], over two months before the full release of the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' toyline on [[May 16]], 2011. He comes packaged with a pair of {{w|Anaglyph image|Anaglyph}} 3-D glasses for use on the transformers.com website, but they cannot be used to view 3D movies in cinemas.

:This toy is also notorious for being a shelfwarmer in a small number of Walmart stores for 8 years.

:The figure also saw regular release, with no changes of the figure but lacks 3D glasses.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], Deluxe Class Optimus Prime features a high range of motion, with ball jointed shoulders and hips, swivels at the neck, knees, and feet, and double swivels in the elbows. As a result of the transformation process, he can also rotate at the waist, though this is hindered considerably by his "backpack" [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded "Automorph" feature in his head, if the truck kibble pushes the small grey switch from his back before splitting the chest into half. And due to how close the head of the faceplate and the front unpaintable piece is, Optimus' "nose" section has a tendency to chip off after many transformations.

:Optimus Prime features a [[MechTech]] Blaster that can convert into an Energon Battle Axe reminiscent of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 character]]'s [[Energon-axe|iconic weapon]], though the weapon cannot be locked in battle axe mode. There is also a pair of C joint rods on the underside of both forearms. His MechTech blaster can plug into the port on each of his arms or be held in either hand in robot mode, or plug into one of two holes on his truck roof/robot shoulders.

:After step 5, the instructions did not mention that you should fold back the shoulder panels to form the sleeper part until the 11th step. Care must be taken while transforming the legs: the small peg located on the lower leg can be snapped off due to the peg being slightly thick to accommodate with the hole. Also, take note that Optimus Prime cannot wield 5 mm weapons with longer posts, as the way that his pinky finger is molded prevents the post from pegging down through his hands. Also, take note that the legs' sculpted small rectangle peg (the one that locks the robot mode legs in place) is prone to warping if care is not taken during transformation.

:The hand-painted prototype photos from both the packaging and the instructions shows that Prime had long smokestacks, but it was shortened for safety reasons in the final product.

:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]'s weapon. This figure was also sold at Universal theme parks in new packaging with ''[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]'' branding. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:The "Standard" version sports an extremely detailed "premium" and screen-accurate paint job, while the Black version sports a black deco that makes him look very much like [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|if he is dead]].

:Each figure was sold separately in a black box with a black movie Optimus Prime silhouette that is visible thanks to the "Exclusive Optimus Prime" and the Milk's 10th anniversary logo. The outside of the box prevents anyone from seeing the figure inside, meaning that you have to open to see if the version that you've got is the "Standard" version or the Black version.

:He also has a new [[MechTech]] Ion Blaster with a flip-out [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], and like all Voyager Class MechTech weapons, it can lock into place by latching one of the levers to the body of the gun.

:His MechTech [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|trailer]] opens up much like Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]'s trailer (as well as being able to stand up to harken back to the Generation 1 [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'s upright mode), includes storage for many MechTech weapons inside and out, and is able to transport up to two Deluxe class (or one smaller Voyager) Autobots.

:The flame deco on Optimus' forearm parts (hidden by the wheels) are flipped in the stock photos, which is present in the vehicle mode. The updated version of the photo (seen in the packaging) features the correct deco. Meanwhile, all of the stock photos of the Ion Blaster/Energy Blade (sans the extra step instruction) depicts the blade as a painted opaque piece.

:Part of the [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive "Streetside Bot Brawl" three-pack, this is a battle-damaged redeco of the initial ''Dark of the Moon'' Optimus Prime toy. Unlike the other figures in this set, Optimus received a different set of MechTech weapons from his standard release: he was given redecos of [[Laserbeak (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Laserbeak]]'s cannons.

:He was sold with a grey and purple redeco of ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager-Class [[Shockwave (Movie)#StreetsideBotBrawl|Shockwave]] and a battle-damaged redeco of ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe-Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#StreetsideBotBrawl|Bumblebee]].

*'''Striker Optimus''' (MechTech Leader, [[November 17]] 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA28'''
**''Accessories:'' Eliminator Gun & Assault Blaster (forms [[Mega Striker]]), shield/battle shield

: Labeled as a "[[Triple Changer]]", Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of ''Dark of the Moon'' Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus Prime, with new weapons. The base figure has most of the same mold changes as Jetwing Optimus Prime (see below), but has been altered further; in particular, the transforming smokestacks and fuel tanks/ion blaster parts have been replaced with retooled regular tanks that now function as mounts for the new accessories. The colors on the toy are darker than Jetwing Optimus, with a different flame deco that extends farther along the sides of the toy. Additionally, two new 5 mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys"R"Us|Toys"R"Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The "I am Optimus Prime" saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the "We must stop the Decepticons!" saying of 2010 ''Transformers'' Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included.

:He comes with a shield with a fold-out handle, allowing Optimus to hold onto it with either hand in robot mode. It has a simple transformation gimmick for vehicle mode which is activated by pressing a button at the top of the shield, causing the sides to spring outwards. In vehicle mode, the shield can be laid flat across the bed of the truck, attaching via a post on the back onto the truck’s trailer hitch. Alternatively, the bumpers on the shield can be rotated outwards, and the front can be bent down in order to form a new front end and hood for "battle vehicle mode", resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicle modes seen in ''Dark of the Moon''.

:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the "Eliminator Gun" and "Assault Blaster", which combine into the "Mega Striker", a rifle that closely resembles the one used in ''Dark of the Moon''. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In "battle vehicle mode", the sides of the truck are rotated up, and the guns can be attached by small pegs to holes in the modified smokestacks, or they can plugged into any of the standard connection points with their [[5 mm post|5 mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode.

The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime's ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster is painted silver with a black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is left as unpainted grey plastic (exactly like the blaster on the original single-boxed ROTF Buster Optimus Prime). After receiving numerous reports from customers that the silver paint on the slide-out barrel was easily scraped off by merely transforming it from gas tank to blaster, Takara-Tomy briefly stated in an interview that they had addressed the issue for the Dark of the Moon packaged version by swapping the placement of the silver paint application. Thus, the Dark of the Moon packaged version now features the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster as unpainted grey plastic with an unchanged black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is now painted silver.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA15'''
**''Accessories:'' Tank A & Tank B (forms Ion Blaster), Jetwing jet pack, Arm Gatling Cannon A & B, Leg Armor A & B
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class Buster Optimus Prime, with an accompanying large jet pack and massive dual Gatling Cannons. The base Optimus Prime figure has several modifications including: a new stomach area and elbow flares to reflect the changes to Optimus Prime's CG model in ''Dark of the Moon'', modified lower arms to incorporate MechTech ports and clips for the cannons, and a retooled area under his back so the jet pack can fit on more securely. The dual energon blades mounted on his arms have been removed. The toy retains Buster Optimus Prime's electronics, but batteries are not included.

:The Jetwing jet pack attaches onto Optimus Prime via a part that hooks onto one of the hinges behind his neck, and a spring-loaded clamp that latches onto a recessed area under Optimus' back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus' Ion Blaster must be removed for this mode, and they can be stored inside the engines for the jet pack. The Jetwing can be used on previous Leader Optimus Primes from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' onwards, but due to the lack of modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn't as stable. The jet pack features four MechTech ports on the main wing articulation points, and two [[C joint]] mounting points on each wing. The Gatling Cannons both feature two MechTech ports and 2 C joint mounts on either side of each cannon.

:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime's flight tech for ''Dark of the Moon'', and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Jetwing Optimus Prime was available for early purchase in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 (held at Tokyo Bic Sight) on [[June 18]] to [[June 19|19]], shortly before its wide release in July.

:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.

Among other deco changes, he features Generation 1-style trailer stripes on his Jetwing jet pack, Movie-style flame color gradient on his Gatling Cannons, and [[AllSpark Power]] blue paint on the mechanical detailing.

:The box seems to have been created rather hastily from the Japanese original. It is roughly identical to the Tomy release, but with the Japanese text edited out... mostly. Random Japanese text remains floating in space on the top of the back panel and underneath the "Jetwing Optimus Prime" name on the front. Curiously, the left flap has been rewritten to eliminate mention of [[NEST]] and the jetpack's ability to detach, while the right flap has been (badly) edited to remove all mentions of [[MechTech]].

*'''Ultimate Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Ultimate, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA32'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Omega Combat Armor, MechTech Ultimax Super Cannon
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Kunihiro]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Billed on his packaging as "BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!", Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a "normal" Optimus Prime on its own, roughly equivalent to a Voyager in size and complexity, though with a lower degree of screen-accuracy than most large Optimus toys. Prime has 5 mm fist holes, as well as additional 5 mm ports on his front wheel wells and both sets of external fuel tanks. Four of these remain available in robot mode. The trailer has twelve more 5 mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.

:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus' trailer]] transforms into nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although this renders the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation, having no leg articulation whatsoever aside from swinging the hips out slightly and twisting at the ankles for maximum stability. The armor adds six more 5 mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the four from the cab robot and the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has his own pair of 5 mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can hold itself up using folding blue supports, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic.

:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime's gigantic Ultimax Super Cannon, an electronic light-and-sound weapon the size and mass of a Deluxe figure. The whole cannon attaches to a special socket slightly behind Prime's shoulders, can store on the back or flip over to be gripped in both fists in armor mode, or stored upside-down underneath the trailer in truck mode. When pointed forward, the cannon has a larger helmet styled after Prime's own with a large translucent face shield featuring a painted targeting system. The weapon has three electronic modes: each of two small buttons plays its own weapon-firing noise and flashes one set of lights, while the large pull-switch in the cannon's center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration "I am Optimus Prime". The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5 mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the "backpack", allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus' imaginary "flight" operations.

:Although the trailer is made exclusively for the cab with which it comes, it is scaled much more closely to and can be pulled by Optimus Prime's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class iteration.

:In Japan, Ultimate Optimus Prime comes with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

The toy was released as a "{{w|Dragon (zodiac)|Year of the Dragon}}" Special Edition in [[2012]], since the Chinese Zodiac sign for that year is the Dragon.

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Optimus Prime (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. You simply slam him down on the big blue button on the back end of his truck mode and he transforms thanks to spring-loaded mechanisms. To transform him back, just slam him down again on the same blue button.

:Shockingly, he actually has arm articulation! Swivels at his shoulders allow you to rotate his arms 360 degrees! Go little Prime! Unfortunately, because his big blue button sits right under his feet, his robot mode is a little unstable when it comes to standing.

:Prime was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn't be transformed in package.

:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the ''Dark of the Moon'' Go-Bots toys. Prime's pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.

:In robot mode, the motor gimmick really comes to the fore—his head, shoulders, and legs move in time with his forward movement. His legs pump up and down, his shoulders pump up and down, and his head rocks side-to-side. This gives the toy the illusion that it's running, rather than just rolling.

:The other gimmick for Prime is his auto-transform gimmick. From truck mode, push him down on his back bumper and his bonnet automatically folds back and his arms automatically pop out. He needs to be transformed back manually.

:In robot mode, Go-Bots Optimus Prime has a limited swivel joint for head articulation, and while he has other movable joints, all of them are spring-loaded and unable to hold a pose.

The figure lacks the chrome of previous releases, instead opting for silver paint. The pin-striping is also absent, but he does have painted pupils. The figure also features 2-2-1 articulated fingers, which the [[#Leader Class toys 2|first Leader Class]] did not have due to budget cuts. The ion cannon included lacks the black paint application, leaving it completely silver.

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 Optimus]]), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

: This set was only available on [[June 28]] as part of a special promotion at Toys"R"Us, given away free from noon to 2pm (roughly) as part of an in-store building event that coincided with the opening weekend of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' and the final day of a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale on all ''Transformers'' product.

:This version of "movie" Optimus is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' incarnation, as that's how he appears in "[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]" and as a mascot character on the park grounds. He is available exclusively in a box set sold at The Ride's gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks. After several years of ''only'' being available at the park proper, the four-pack was eventually added to Universal's online store.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies. Optimus's [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged. This set would later see slight production changes; all of the figures' tampographs have gone back to thicker lines and being a bit sloppier, while Optimus's medium-pearlescent-gray plastics (his arm-mounted smokestacks) have been lightened considerably and lost a significant amount of metallic sheen.

: In mid-2020, the set was revamped again ''again'', now removing Evac and replacing him with the [[N.E.S.T. Sentry]]. This version of the set uses the latter version of the other three characters with the thicker tampograph lines and lighter medium-gray plastic.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Optimus comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: One of the Mini-Con limb-bots (Soundwave helmet) is based on the original movie version of Optimus. The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus's original body. Two of his limbs are based on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). And the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]! The heck?

:[https://www.seibertron.com/events/fullsize.php?event_id=400&size=1&image=29 First shown at New York Toy Fair 2015], the Mini-Con Combiners were apparently cancelled without fanfare... a decision that must have come late in the day, as they went on to star in their own promotional animation, "[[Stuck in a Tree]]", released about eight months after the trade show.

:Another redeco of Deluxe-Class ''Dark of the Moon'' Prime, this release uses a darker grey, a less magenta-y red, and less gold on the front end. Included is the trailer originally available with the ''Chronicle'' release. The trailer holds up to seven MechTech or similar 5 mm peg accessories. Four holes are located on the top-front end of the trailer, with another three inside. The door also folds down to become a ramp, and the inside of the trailer is big enough for several Legion or Commander Cyberverse toys, or one smaller-end Deluxe figure. Two [[C joint]] bars also run along the bottom of both sides.

:The center section of the inner trailer floor has been retooled so it can no longer be pulled out and flipped over, since bottle cap figurines aren't really sold in the West outside of import shops. However, the framework on the bottom of the trailer can be unscrewed to allow this piece to be flipped or, for the more industrious fan, have the tabs removed to restore the function. There is still an indent to make flipping the sliding section up easier, hinting at the neutered feature.

:Unlike both the Walmart exclusive Deluxe figure and the Japanese release, no weapon accessories are included.

:Amusingly, the packaging still showcases 3 canceled Movie Trilogy Series Deluxe class toys.

*'''First Edition Optimus Prime''' (2014)
**'''14 OF 30'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield

: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toy line]]. Prime is a Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck vehicle mode and his updated robot mode from the film (well, mostly based on his initial design rather than the final design in the movie). His transformation is much simpler than his counterparts from the previous three movie lines, being billed as transforming in "15 easy steps." His torso, shoulders, upper legs, and the vehicle mode grill are all completely chromed with the exception of minor blue and red details painted on his chest. However, this comes at the expense of his smokestacks and wheels being bare gray plastic, whereas they are chromed in the film. His [[shellformer|simplified transformation]] also comes at the expense of having a very bulky "backpack" of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. His truck kibble can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own, though this is not an intended feature of the toy.

:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via a 5 mm post. In truck mode, the sword is stored underneath, while the shield mounts onto the trailer hitch. The sword also features a [[5 mm post|5 mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:He was only available as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, but was also released at brick and mortar retails in Australia and Hasbro's Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as "14 of 30" in Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]'' campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.<ref name="fepress">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for ''Age of Extinction'' First Edition Optimus Prime]</ref> To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies ''another'' product as "14 of 30", which doesn't sport any such markings on its packaging ''either''.<ref name="retro">[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Hasbro Thrilling 30 retrospective] on Facebook, mirrored [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/hasbro-transformers-30th-anniversary-thrilling-30-exclusives-retrospective-gallery-181598/ here] on TFW2005.</ref>

:Optimus Prime comes with the same sword, now molded in orange plastic with no paint operations. This set omits the shield seen in the First Edition and Silver Knight versions of this mold. It is omitted as there is no place in the truck mode to store it, since the trailer now takes over the trailer hitch, which is where the shield was supposed to be stored, though you ''technically'' could have stored it in the trailer. This toy is still compatible with the First Edition and Silver Knight versions of the shield, though neither match the color scheme well.

:The stock photo on the right shows him with the side panels of the truck on his backpack incorrectly flipped out. They should be split and tabbed together.

:In the United States, this set was a "shared exclusive" between [[BigBadToyStore]], [[Toys"R"Us]], and [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]. In Canada and Singapore, it was exclusive to Toys"R"Us, whereas in Australia, it was a Myer exclusive.

:A redeco of the ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class toy, this Optimus Prime has large portions of his body, mostly his truck parts, vacuum metalized silver, and his light-piped eyes were neutered by blue paint. He comes with a redeco of Generation 1 [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]]'s sword, which can be wielded by his 5 mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, ''especially'' with the shoulder kibble & the bottom leg's posts (This can be amended if you slightly widen the holes with 3 mm hand drills). As with the original ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class figure, the instructions don't mention about forming the sleeper part until step 10, the pinky finger prevented the sword to peg down through his hands, and of course: his truck mode can attach with the Armored Weapons Platform included in the ''Chronicle'' or the ''Movie Trilogy Series'' figure. This figure has slightly loose shoulder joints.

:This figure was only available in a two-pack with a Voyager Class [[Grimlock (AOE)#Target2Pack|Grimlock]] figure.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro), [[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Evasion Mode Optimus Prime" is based on the character's initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime's White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, ''two'' false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a "default" 90° position. Also, while you transform him back to truck mode, his hands must be in the same sideways position to ensure the truck kibble is properly flushed.

:Optimus includes a spring-loaded missile-firing "ion cannon" modeled after Megatron's shotgun from ''Dark of the Moon'', with the missile features a sculpted shotgun nozzle on the front section. It can be held in his hand or attached to the top of the truck cab or truck bed via 5 mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it.

:In time-honored tradition, Prime's instructions depict the toy with an alternate "[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]" head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' and "Rusty" releases of the figure (see below). Additionally, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him with extra white/silver [[Paint operation|paint detail]]s, especially on his chest and wheel rims, as well as having gray upper arms with red details, among other differences.

:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy, but slightly larger than his ''Generation 1'' toy's truck) he is quite tall.

:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of ''Movie Advanced Series'' toys, is dubbed "Classic Optimus Prime", and opts for a deco closer to Prime's previous on-screen appearances, omitting the blue paint on his feet and hands to reveal the gray plastic underneath, and adding new paint details all over. Instead of painting it in clear light blue, his light-piping eyes are neutered with opaque light blue paint.

:The faceplated version of the mold was used to make [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]].

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (deco, TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Leader Class toys, this is yet ''another'' "big" Optimus Prime figure. While smaller than the First Edition toy, this one features more silver and chrome paint in vehicle mode, a more poseable robot mode, and a Vector Shield accessory instead of the Sentinel Shield. Unlike the First Edition figure, Leader Class Optimus Prime's pauldrons and hip-skirts are formed from truck kibble, giving him a marginally smaller backpack. His accessories have roughly the same functionality as the First Edition toy, with his sword being hand-held and pegged onto his hands or storing underneath the truck, and his shield mounting onto his left forearm or storing on the back of the truck. Additionally, the sword sheath underneath the truck can be folded up and used in robot mode.

:It should be noted that this Optimus Prime can accommodate the [[Dual Energon Swords#Dark of the Moon|Battle Blade]] accessories to recreate the scene of him fighting against Galvatron.

:This figure was only made available as a store [[exclusive]] in parts of Europe, at least in the United Kingdom (at Argos) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).

:Apparently, early plans for the shield were to have it colored gold and silver, but it was later changed to gray and red. When a hand-painted [[prototype]] of the toy was first displayed at the 2013 New York Comic Con, the shield was colored yellow and silver; in addition, the original versions of the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] also depict the gold color, but the versions featured on the back of the toy's [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy's colors for the shield. Meanwhile, the versions of the stock photos provided to websites and online retailers depict the shield in its final colors for the robot mode, whereas the vehicle mode photo is the unedited version featuring the shield's original colors. Furthermore, UK-based retailer Argos also featured unedited versions of the stock photos for both modes in one of its catalogs, causing some confusion among fans.<ref name="argos">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/991761-uk-getting-different-leader-decos-optimus-yellow-vector-shield.html TFW2005 thread] about outdated stock photos used in Argos catalog.</ref> Sometimes, the spring loaded "[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]" feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...

{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime, he transforms into a Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck as seen in the film, in ''4 steps'':
::1. Press 2 buttons on the truck steps make the side panels pop out in position.
::2. Fold down the front section to transform it's robot mode legs.
::3. Fold back the rear parts to form the kibble.
::4. Position the arms into place, and Optimus will announce "Transform!", with a classic transformation sound effect.

: Like Stomp & Chomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers, activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He has notably less kibble than other ''Age of Extinction'' Optimus Prime toys... from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so lucky, with large chunks of truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he's wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out.

: The Sword of Judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the ''Age of Extinction'' leader class Optimus, but cast in flat grey rubbery plastic rather than the transparent plastic and paint operations of the initial release. This Optimus Prime erroneously features blue paint on his feet instead of the screen-accurate red.

:Another release of the Leader Class Optimus Prime figure, now redecoed from the original ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class mold, but with the gimmick-less arms from the Supreme Class retool, and a pair of articulated fingers which was not previously used for the original release. He also retains his pair of Energon Swords, hooks, his knuckle piece, and the fuel tanks that can combine to form his ion blaster. In terms of deco, he features a darker plastic color and paint (which resulted in two-tone shades of silver & gunmetal), which is meant to go with this line's Jetfire.

*'''Optimus Prime''' ([[2017]])
**''Movie'': '''''Transformers'''''<ref>The packaging actually features a "10 Years" logo, in reference to the anniversary of the first film.</ref>
**''ID number:'' '''MPM-4'''
**''TakaraTomy release date:'' [[September 30]], 2017
**''Accessories'': "[[Ion blaster|Rifle]]", 2 "[[Dual Energon Swords|Energy Swords]]", [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#MPM4|Matrix of Leadership]]

:Released to conclude the 10th Anniversary of the live-action film series, ''[[Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' Optimus Prime transforms from a 25 cm-tall robot (a little taller than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Convoy]]) resembling how the character appeared in the first live action movie into a <s>Kenworth W900</s> modified Peterbilt 379, in 43 steps, with many of the engineering cues being distinctively based and improved on the [[#Leader_Class_toys_2|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class mold]].

:The figure has diecast metal in its feet, shins, and abdomen. It features pinstriped flames, articulated fingers, a headsculpt with a face that can rotate between masked and unmasked modes in a method identical to Armor Knight Optimus Prime's, and an abdomen that opens to reveal a chamber housing a diecast Matrix of Leadership. He comes with said Matrix, his "Rifle" (aka "Ion Cannon"), and a pair of "Energy Swords" that tab in behind his wrists in a technically inaccurate fashion (they should replace the hands entirely). All three weapons can combine and store on the trailer hitch in vehicle mode or robot mode. Speaking of, Optimus can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|trailer]] from ''Masterpiece'' MP-10 Convoy. Possibly due to this feature, he is actually too short in robot mode, deviating from the scale much more than his peers.<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/mpm-3rd-party-scale-discussion.1194209/page-2#post-17949152 Thread discussion on the MPM scale], which lists Weijiang's upscaled knockoff of MPM Optimus deviating from the scale by being 0.93 cm too short; and taller than the real MPM by 3 inches.</ref>

:Though the figure does a much better job of conveying the on-screen character model than the ROTF Leader Class mold did, there are still a few inaccuracies—most notably the forearm and shoulder pad designs and the head/torso proportions. The final product also lacks certain paint details visible in stock and packaging imagery, such as the blue rings on his feet and the gold on his pelvis. In both the final product and stock photography, the silver detailing on the forehead is the wrong shape as there should not be a break in the silver. It should be noted that this mold does not combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Leader Class toys|Jetfire]].

:In addition, it is very difficult, if not impossible for the vehicle mode to tab together properly. The entire cab assembly breaks apart very easily as the tabs lack sufficient friction to keep it together, resulting in either a gap forming between the front windows and the hood or part of the hood raising up. This is due to a mold change seen in early prototypes and the toy packaging where the red abdomen sections tab in lower, inaccurately exposing the hinge between it and the chest windows. The pipes that are supposed to connect to the bottom of the smokestacks also don't swing out far enough to properly do so if the feet are tabbed together completely. Two sets of plastic rings on posts connect each of the shoulders to the torso - the ring that ends up on top in vehicle mode is slightly too thick and often filled with stress marks straight out of the packaging and can create stress marks on the torso piece it's connected to. The same ring can also make it ''extremely'' difficult to tab the cab together. Since the lower ring is on a separate part and still keeps the joint connected, it can be helpful to disassemble the figure and cut away the upper ring to alleviate both problems, but do so at your own risk. Since the windows don't tab in in vehicle mode, the chest piece, which is ''rather'' thin and tabs in to the grille as well, is under an extreme amount of stress. This cause breakages on a few number of copies, specifically in the piece which swivels outwards on the secondary joint of the chest piece. While this breakage is rare, care should still be taken when transforming.

:The TakaraTomy release replaces the dark gray plastic on the Hasbro version with lighter tan gray as well as adding some of the missing paint applications shown on the box, with the thighs and gas tanks still missing silver paint. The mold tolerances have been adjusted, and transforming to truck mode properly is possible with a degree of variation on some copies. The Hasbro and TakaraTomy versions both have misassemblies on the sleeper cabin hinges, where they are reversed, although this does not affect transformation. The TakaraTomy release is packaged in truck mode, whereas the Hasbro version is packaged in robot mode. Due to the changes made for the Takara release, it is theorised that the Hasbro version was rushed to meet the anniversary year and/or Toys 'R Us exclusivity deadline.

:Much like his ROTF ancestor, he is a frequent victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from clones that fix the issues above to high quality upscales.

:[[Starscream (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|As]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|expected]], the [[:File:MPM4Optimus.jpg|Hasbro stock photos]] have the figure mistransformed in both modes. The backpack is a mess, the chest and torso bits aren't properly configured, and the smokestacks in truck mode aren't extended.

:In the United States, Canada, and Hasbro's Asian markets, ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Optimus Prime was exclusively available from [[Toys"R"Us]], whereas in Spain, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour. It's currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply "Toys-Shop", but again might have been available online only.

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

:The second ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Optimus Prime transforms from a robot based on his appearance in the ''Bumblebee'' mid-credits scene into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film's ending scene, much like the ''Studio Series'' toy [[#SS38|below]]. He comes with his "Ion Blaster" used in the Cybertron sequences in the film, which can be folded and stored behind his cab. He also includes a new [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#MPM12|Matrix of Leadership]], despite the Matrix never appearing or being mentioned in the movie. Similar to the ''Masterpiece Movies Series'' toy above, Optimus Prime can tow the [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP44|trailer]] included with MP-44 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|Convoy]].

:Unfortunately, due to reduced parts count and possibly cost-cutting measures, the trigonal [[kibble]] on his shoulders ends up slightly protruding on the vehicle mode. This also results in a somewhat amusing appearance for the truck mode, as the placement of the said kibble looks like it has a pair of cat-ears. The truck bed is also quite unfinished, having little semblance to the real thing. Additionally, he is one of the lightest(even compared to the carbots) MPM figures to date. For a MPM figure of this price and size, he has an unusually low count of die-cast parts, since he only has die-cast gas tanks(which are small) and a die-cast Matrix of Leadership.

:For an MPM figure, his hands are rather compromised in articulation, as his index finger can only open to 90 degrees, lacking the double joint on it that most figures with a 3 finger-trigger finger split have. This may have been because his fingers needed to be posed at a 90 degrees pose for a secure grip on his matrix, but [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|other figures]] have been able to do it without the fingers needing to be locked, so this is purely a cost cutting measure done by Hasbro. Prime also has a design flaw in his wrists. Its flips out on a joint for transformation, but the joint is too weak to support the weight of the ion blaster. Combine that with a gaping hole in his arm underneath his wrists, his hands end up drooping downwards if Prime holds the blaster in a 90 degree or downwards arm angle.

:Hasbro [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLtuM8DJeY9/ stock photography] depicts much brighter and saturated colors, as well as clear blue windows. TakaraTomy stock photography (right), which was revealed months later, features darker, more film-accurate colors, and clear grey windows. Despite both versions of the toy using TakaraTomy's stock photography, only TakaraTomy's version includes the accurate grey windows, as well as unpainted red plastic sun visors. The box also features the peculiar (''especially'' for a Masterpiece figure) call-out "Articulated Head" depicting Optimus just... turning his head to the left. The photography is also strangely low resolution compared to previous releases in the line, possibly a consequence of 2020 pandemic complications.

:This toy was revealed on February 25, 2021 via live-stream. It is a [[Target]] exclusive in the United States and a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Canada. The toy was reissued in the fall of 2024, $6 cheaper than its original price.

:This figure would be redecoed into MPM-12N [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)#Masterpiece|Nemesis Prime]].

:This Optimus Prime is a ''minor'' redeco of the One-Step Changer figure, ''omitting'' the paint apps on the knees, the flames on his shoulders, and changing the robot mode chest's deco. Along with his wavemate Bumblebee, Optimus Prime loses his pin on his leg, which is used to activate Stomp & Chomp Grimlock's pop-out weapons and gimmicks.

:Knight Armor Turbo Changer Optimus Prime is a Voyager-sized figure that transforms from truck to robot in just 2-steps: pulling his whole truck kibble to the front then fold down to complete the robot mode, although converting him back requires some few steps. His only articulation is the elbows, and he features 5 mm compatible hands. He also features a "Knight Armor" gimmick, which consists of his mask popping out to his head with the press of the button on his chest. Take note that you need to flip back the mask manually before you turn him back into Truck Mode.

:The TakaraTomy release of the figure features extensive paint applications to resembles his on-screen appearances, and his pop-out mask is now vacuum metallized with some gold details.

:Legion Class Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the first ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class figure, with the deco resembling the paint job from Optimus Prime's Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck. While the main body is identical to the figure, the arms and legs are newly tooled, with simple assemblies for the wheels. The retooled legs now features a more solid stopping point, which prevents the center front grill/legs to swing back further. It should be noted that his flame decals are ''painted over'' the side windows.

:The newly tooled legs also feature unreasonably long pegs to secure their connection in vehicle mode. They have a tendency to snap off over time, though this doesn't affect the toy too much.

:In 29th August to 29th September, the entire 1st wave of ''The Last Knight'' Legion Class figures that almost ''massively'' shelfwarmed in Malaysia's Toys"R"Us stores were sold as a giveaway item for the customers who purchased ''The Last Knight'' toys for RM200 (approx $46) in a single receipt.

It includes two collector cards that form part of a poster with decodable Cyberglyphics on the back.

:"Cybertron Optimus Prime" now features a darker grey plastic, and mostly shares the same paint mask to the original Deluxe class figure, with added paint details on his head and the mesh-like pattern on the front of his "entry" mode.

Lastly, he features Cyberglyphics on his vehicle mode windows, and the rear sides of the vehicle. His flame attachment is now cast in translucent red plastic with orange sprays.

:Although ''MechTech'' Optimus Prime's deco is similar to the initial release, some of his parts (robot shoulder flaps, chest piece/truck front) were recast in blue plastic (with the chest being painted red), and his paint applications on the pelvis, headlights & thighs are omitted. His front truck hood/backpack's deco is altered: the truck steps and the fenders were painted blue, and the gold gradients on the flame tampographs are removed, while he features additional flame tampos on both sides of his front hood, and an Autobot Insignia on his left robot shoulder. He still retains the light-piping gimmick, but cast in clear plastic, with the eyeballs being (halfheartedly) painted with clear blue.

:This Voyager-sized Optimus Prime has a similar transformation scheme to [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Generations|''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class Galvatron]], notably the shoulders, rooftop backpack, and the leg/wheels combo based on his Leader Class figure. He features a similar but different transformation scheme, which results in a somewhat clean robot mode, although most of his vehicle kibble hangs on his back. He also features the sword & the shield based on his final design in the movie, albeit the sword being painted similarly to the Armor Knight Optimus Prime's sword. His sword can store underneath his Vehicle mode or his robot mode backpack, while the shield can be stored on the truck's fifth wheel hitch, which can also tow the trailer included from the Japanese exclusive [[#VoyagerTrailer|Mechtech Voyager]]. Although the pectoral armor can be slightly pushed up a little bit further, the pieces have to actually stop at where the rectangular peg holes are located.

:Surprisingly, this was also the first Hasbro exclusive transforming Movie Optimus Prime figure to be based on the final design seen in ''Age of Extinction''. He even features the forearms that Prime had before obtaining the Sword of Judgement, which unfortunately means that he is inaccurate to his appearance in the battle of Hong Kong and the entirety of ''The Last Knight''. The sword's blade is still painted as the heated-up version from the concept art.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (SDCC 2017 exclusive Voyager Class, 2017)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield, Tire piece

:The ''San Diego Comic-Con 2017'' exclusive Optimus Prime figure is another redeco of the ''Premier Edition'' figure, which aims for a more movie-accurate look than the original by still sharing the same paint masks, but replacing the chest's deco with flames and adding extra paint applications on the legs, arms, chest, head, tire rims, both sides of the engine compartment, and the sword and shield... but for some reason still sports the movie-inaccurate blue 'collar', as well as the smaller, less accurate vehicle flame tampographs instead of the more movie-accurate ones used on Dark Optimus Prime. His Autobot insignia is also moved on the upper back section of the air dam. He is packaged in a stylish, display-case-like-box similar to later ''Transformers: Alternators'' releases and the Hasbro Toy Shop/SDCC 2011 exclusive figure.

:Hilariously, Optimus Prime also comes with an ''authentic tire piece'' from a Western Star 5700XE truck (no seriously, look it up.). His stock photo is also ''slightly'' mistranformed: his pectoral armor is not rotated properly in robot mode. Also, the fifth wheel hitch pieces seem to be missing on his robot mode stock photos.

:Remaining stock was sold through Hasbro Toy Shop.

**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield
:This redeco of the [[#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime]] figure features a really unusual deco pattern consisting of red transparent tires, the vehicle front grill and fuel tanks (the fenders remained opaque red due to unpaintable plastic). Some of his parts like the vehicle front hood and the truck roof feature a pattern similar to the ones used for the [[Tech Spec]]s in the ''Generation 1'' toys. He features a new sword and shield accessory, which can be used to decode the patterns.

:In the United Kingdom, this Optimus Prime was released as an Argos exclusive along with several other sets branded as part of the ''Reveal the Shield'' [[subline imprint]]. His United States release was initially claimed to be exclusive to [[Target]] by online retailers from Asia, but even though the other ''Reveal the Shield'' products eventually became available at Target, Voyager Class Optimus Prime was released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in the United States instead, complete with a "Toys"R"Us exclusive" sticker. Also, both his United States and Asian releases lack the "Reveal the Shield" logo the United Kingdom release has (but still feature the "Reveal hidden images" call-out).

:This Optimus Prime is a somewhat/nearly screen-accurate redeco (dedeco?) of the Leader Class figure, but uses the original Leader mold instead of the Armor Knight retool, unfortunately. In comparison to the first ''Age of Extinction'' Leader Class figure, his vacuum-metalized front truck bumper, sun visors, robot mode chest, smokestacks, and side tanks were omitted, revealing the grey plastic underneath. His chromed chest was also stripped of chrome for adding paint operations, his shield was unpainted, and both of his sword and truck mode windows were cast in colorless plastic. He also features some extra silver paint on his robot mode forehead, and his white-colored Autobot insignia is slightly tampographed on the left.

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TLK-15'''
**''Accessories'': Temenos Sword, Calibur Axe, Overshield/Fifth Wheel Hitch, Energon Sword (limited edition)

:Calibur Optimus Prime is a retool of the Armor Knight Optimus Prime figure, itself a retool of the original ''Age of Extinction'' Leader Class figure. In a clever bit of [[partformer|partforming]], the fifth wheel hitch now forms a handheld shield based on the one used in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], which results in a backpack-less robot mode. As such, the shield that came with prior versions has been omitted (though it's still fully compatible, of course). The figure can be transformed without partsforming if so desired, leaving a backpack like the original leader, but the sword will not store on his back due to the remolding. He also comes with an axe based on the one used in the third film.

:The initial release of the figure comes with a limited edition Energon Sword. According to [https://amzn.asia/d/9lU57nG Amazon Japan's page] and the instructions, the included Energon Sword & Axe is compatible with ''Movie The Best'' MB-11 Optimus Prime figure (seen above), which basically makes Calibur Optimus Prime a weapon expansion pack for said figure. Said compatibility, however, makes the weapons(other than the sword)too big for this figure, since the ROTF Leader mold is bigger than this one.

:Unlike the ''Movie Advanced Series''' Armor Knight figure, the blue plastic and red paint are less metallic.

:The back of the packaging features a small typo, notably the word "kinetic" being written as "''Kinetic'''k'''''". The bio also denotes the elemental metal as "Cyber-Matter" living metal, which is a term that originates from the [[Aligned continuity family]]. Oddly, TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout "battle figure" included with Telebi Magazine's [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].

:The Calibur Axe was later redecoed into "Bronze Calibur Axe", as a giveaway accessory for the 3rd ''The Last Knight Final Battle Campaign'' in Japan. In 2018, Optimus Prime is released along with [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TLKLeader|Megatron]] as part of the TakaraTomy Mall exclusive "Optimus Prime VS Megatron" set.

:Released as part of a new line called ''[[Transformers Tribute]]'', Orion Pax is a redeco of ''Titans Return'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Sergeant Kup]], and transforms from a red-and-blue Cybertronic pickup truck which is also an homage to <s>Generation 1 [[Crosshairs (G1)#Generation 1|Crosshairs]]'s vehicle mode</s> [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Collector's Edition|Orion Pax's original e-HOBBY toy]]. His Titan Master, retooled from [[Recoil (G1)#Generations|Flintlock]], features a new face that is based on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Deluxe|''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax toy]]. As a redeco of the Kup mold, Orion Pax still suffers the leg panel misassembly.

:The set also includes a redeco of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|''Generations War for Cybertron'']] Optimus Prime figure, which changes the original figure's dark red plastic to a brighter, more vibrant red, changes the gray plastic to a darker charcoal tone, changes the "windows" from gray to nearly black, and replaces most of the original figure's pink-ish red paint details (which were yellow on the redeco from the "Rage over Cybertron" three-pack) to teal.

:*''Accessories'': Two [[Dual Energon Swords#Studio Series|Energon Sword]]s, "Forest Fight" backdrop (1st version)

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Optimus Prime transforms from a robot into a Peterbilt 379 semi-truck. He comes his [[dual Energon Swords]], which can be mounted onto his arms or store on the back of his robot mode or truck bed. The figure combines engineering concepts from his ''Age of Extinction'' [[#Voyager Class toys 5|Voyager Class figure]] with techniques previously used on ''Prime: First Edition'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Prime: First Edition|Optimus Prime]]. He also features a more subdued color scheme compared to other Optimus Prime figures. Like the rest of the ''Studio Series'' figures, the figure prioritizes robot mode [[scale]] and thus stands shorter than his Voyager Class wavemate [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Starscream]]. The CG renders depict him possessing long smokestacks, but the final product has them shortened... again. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the forest battle from ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:While the 5 mm compatible arms can fit with most weapons with the same post size, some of the weapons' handles can barely fit on it due to either the slightly thickened tab or thin sculpted panels.

:The rear truck cabin/back kibble can turn slightly floppy over time in robot mode, as there are no tabs and holes to secure it. Despite being labeled as the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' version of the character, this mold is not meant to combine with the later released [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], although it can be achieved with some [[Fan mode|fiddling]]. However, it ''can'' carry (but not combine with) ''Studio Series'' [[#SS44|44 Optimus Prime]]'s trailer.

:While stock photos and renders show the figure with a faceplate, this [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/1859790330757819/?type=3&theater image] posted by the Transformers Facebook page shows him with his mouth exposed.

The semi-translucent blades release features a date code "73461", whereas the translucent orange blades version features a date code written as "80171".

:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' (though sold under the first ''Transformers'' film's branding), this ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is an extensive retool of the figure above, featuring many new parts, namely a new backpack, chest piece, back of thighs, forearms, a (removable) abdominal area, and lower legs with a pair of non-transforming fenders. These new parts lead to [[Show-accuracy|a better resemblance]] to his appearance in the first two movies and allow him to combine with ''Studio Series'' [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]] to form "Jetwing Optimus Prime," while resulting in a somewhat more involved transformation. His color scheme features a much higher contrast than the previous release. Inexplicably, he has silver paint apps added on his forearms that actually make him ''less'' accurate than if it were left as the bare red plastic underneath, while forgetting to accurately paint a different section of his forearms blue. Unfortunately, as a trade-off for having a more accurate robot mode, his vehicle mode suffers; his front drive tires lift off the ground, he's missing the toolboxes behind his fuel tanks, some of his robot mode kibble is exposed beneath his doors, and several of the floodlights above his windshield are gone.

:Instead of Energon Swords, he now comes with an [[Ion blaster]] like that used in the battle of [[Mission City]]. It can be stored on various rectangular peg holes in Prime's vehicle mode or on the larger rectangular pegs on his cab nose/forearms or on the robot mode's back. While this Optimus figure can use the first mold's blades, the new molding prevents the swords from being properly stored on the robot's back, and using the intended "underslung" grip displaces his forearm armor slightly. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the highway fight with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the first ''Transformers'' film. Since the Leader Class figure below is a redeco of this one, it should come as no surprise that this one is fully compatible with the trailer and jet pack.

:The panels with the fuel tanks are connected to his back by small friction pegs, and have a tendency to pop off during transformation, though they can easily be reattached. This was fixed in later versions of the mold. As the front grills rely on a hook-and-tab assembly to complete the truck mode and combined with the fact that they're molded in translucent plastic completely painted over in silver, the painted tabs can wear down and break off during transformation, leaving a gap in the front of the truck mode. Care must be taken when combining him with Jetfire, as it can place much stress on the hinges that the grills are connected to.

:The packaging stock photo features him having a misassembled hip, which is facing backward. Speaking of misassembly, a small number of Optimuses have two left or right upper arms. These errors prevent the front section from fully transforming. This can be identified by viewing the front section while he's still in-package.

:His rear wheels were later reused for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Optimus Prime]], while the front wheels appear to have been slightly retooled for use on the ''Earthrise'''s trailer as well.

:This Optimus was reissued through [[Walmart]] in November 2025. The reissue does have the pinned back panels seen with later uses of the mold, and the package art has been updated slightly, most notably removing the cross-sell of ''Studio Series'' [[Bonecrusher (Movie)#Studio Series|Bonecrusher]] that was on the back.<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/possible-studio-series-ss-32-voyager-optimus-prime-reissue-found-at-us-retail.1284174/#post-23830862 Comparison between original and reissue boxes of SS-32, TFW2005]</ref>

{{toydesigner|[[Yūya Ōnishi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:The third ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is based on his appearance in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', and as such closely resembles the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 Optimus design]]. He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film's final scene. As a result, the truck frame is about half the length of the one used in the film, lacking the prominent gap between the gas tanks and the rear axle, but this makes him appear closer to the truck he turned into in G1. Optimus comes with the [[Ion blaster]] he is seen wielding in the film's Cybertron sequences and a backdrop featuring the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] where he meets up with Bumblebee. The blaster can peg into the fifth wheel hitch in vehicle mode.

:While his truck mode scales with most of the ''Studio Series'' brethren, Optimus's robot mode shares the same height as the other Optimuses in this section, which means that he towers over his original size in the film. Unlike his appearance in the movie, this Optimus's design closely resembles [[Mark Yang]]'s concept art of the character, complete with flat feet. Unlike most of the ''Studio Series'' figures, this Optimus doesn't have any insignia tampographed or sculpted on. The silver weathering on his stomach varies from figure-to-figure.

:Unfortunately, the grey lower leg panels tend to disconnect/dislodge if the feet are swiveled, or if the pressure is applied downwards while standing. The silver-painted hinged panels on the sides of his truck mode (and to an extent, the painted crotch) are prone to chipping due to being involved in the transformation.

:Some versions of this figure feature tabs on the top of the inside of the front window frame, that have no hole to peg into on the robot torso, seeming to be remnants of a late-stage design change, that do interfere with vehicle mode holding together.

:This toy was one of the items that were released as part of Hasbro's Transformers 35th Anniversary promotional mailer box<ref>https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/21/transformers-35th-anniversary-promo-box-in-hand-388546</ref> and was also given a repaint as part of TakaraTomy's own [[#35th Anniversary|35th Anniversary exclusive set]].

:He was reissued as a GameStop exclusive shortly after the [[March 28]], [[2024]] fanstream.

:This Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the second toy with a new stomach area that is molded to be accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'', complete with a new trailer forming his weapons platform and combat armor. His arsenal includes two cannons, an energon axe, an energon sword, a shield, and a slightly redecoed (de-decoed?) Ion blaster from the second toy, losing its blackened barrel. He also comes with a unique backdrop depicting his confrontation with the [[Driller]] in the Battle of Chicago. His fellow Leader Class Autobot, [[Jetfire (Movie)#Studio Series|Jetfire]], comes packaged with a replacement ''Transformers'' and ''Revenge of the Fallen''-accurate abdomen piece, allowing them to combine... though the piece is color-matched to Optimus's first ''Studio Series'' 05 release, a figure that lacks this figure's new molding and is thus incompatible with Jetfire. In addition to the new deco and molding, the hinges on his back that the panels with the fuel tanks are attached to now have pins, preventing the pieces from popping off when swiveling them into position during conversion. Care should still be taken when transforming the front grill, as the tab needed to hold it together still has the potential to break on this version of the mold.

:In terms of deco, Optimus features gradient orange paint on his forearms/truck front which the Voyager Class release didn't have, while the formerly transparent parts are now cast in opaque blue plastic, with both his real and [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux windows]] painted silver. Meanwhile, the CG stock renders feature several color and deco details that are inaccurate to the final toy; notably, the joints on his grille section are shown to be orange rather than gray, the windows are shown to be transparent rather than opaque, and all the weapons are shown to be painted, even though the only weapon that actually features ''any'' paint on the final toy is the sword. Conversely, both the CG render ''and'' the near-final stock photo of the robot mode show the new abdomen piece as being painted in a single red color, while the final product (including the TakaraTomy stock photos) have the details in the center section painted in movie-accurate silver.

:The CG render on the front packaging is a rather lazily edited version of the Optimus Prime art (complete with ''Revenge of the Fallen''-styled abdomen), with the Jetwing unit slapped on his back. There are also a few obvious design oversights, with no actual means of attaching the shield to Prime's arm in a shield-like manner, the handle of the axe colliding with the arm panel if pushed in all the way, and no official instructions on how to store the Ion blaster in the trailer. At least for the blaster, it can still use the ports on the truck as before, and there is sufficient space in the trailer itself to store the blaster or a few other accessories. And while Prime himself has been improved to prevent parts popping off, the dark grey "shoulder straps" on the Jetwing have a frustrating tendency to pop off due to the raised rectangular details directly under them, meant to hold them in place with friction but instead causing the part to flex and deform under pressure.

: Despite the figure's size classification, Prime himself is Voyager-sized (obviously, seeing as he's a retool of a previous ''Studio Series'' Voyager). The Leader Class price point comes from the extra accessories that he comes packaged with.

:"15th Anniversary" Optimus Prime is a redeco of the second ''Studio Series'' figure, featuring slightly minimized/altered paint applications and plastic color changes. Aside from that, he doesn't come with the Ion blaster included with the regular release but instead comes with the two swords included with the original ''Revenge of the Fallen'' version of the mold, cast in a slightly more reddish clear orange and painted a brighter silver instead of gunmetal. In terms of deco, Optimus's metallic gray plastic is replaced with a light shade of grayish silver, the paint operations on his forearms and lower legs are omitted, and the previously colorless plastic used on the real/faux truck windows is now translucent black. The new blue paint used for most of the torso/truck cab is a noticeably different shade compared to the blue plastic, whereas the blue paint on the original release was a much closer match to the plastic.

:Interestingly, the robot mode stock render and photo show Optimus wielding his swords with the blades on the inside of the arms instead of the outside. Unlike the original SS-32 release, this release comes with the securely pinned back hinges used for the Leader Class figure. There has been one instance of yellowing on the grey plastic used, but it is not known if it is a widespread issue or an isolated instance. As with previous versions of this mold, the tabs that hold the front grill together in truck mode have the potential to break.

:This figure comes in an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive 5-pack alongside redecoes of ''Studio Series'' [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Bumblebee]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ironhide]], [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#SS15thAnniversary|Ratchet]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#SS15thAnniversary|Jazz]], released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the first live-action [[Transformers (film)|''Transformers'' film]]. The pack comes with a unique reversible backdrop depicting the alley where the Autobots first met Sam on one side and the exterior of Sam's house on the other.

:"''Revenge of the Fallen'' 15th Anniversary" Optimus Prime is another release of the [[#SS32|SS-32 mold]] with [[#Studio Series|SS-05]]'s Energon swords, though this time both sport their original decos. The digital render and stock photos for this release have him holding the swords correctly. This also comes with the securely pinned back hinges.

:This figure comes in an Amazon exclusive pack alongside ''Studio Series'' [[Jetfire (Movie)#SSROTF15th|Jetfire]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)#SSROTF15th|Chromia]], [[Arcee (Movie)#SSROTF15th|Arcee]], and [[Elita-One (Movie)#SSROTF15th|Elita-1]], released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the second live-action Transformers film. Although this version of Optimus is technically for the first movie, its inclusion makes sense as this mold is the one that combines with Jetfire. The box meanwhile reuses SS-05's package art. The pack comes with a unique reversible backdrop with the first version of the "Pyramid Desert Battle" scene on one side and the "Shanghai Pursuit" scene on the other.

:Part of the 18th wave of ''Studio Series'' Leader Class figures, Optimus Prime is based on his "knight" appearance in ''Age of Extinction'', specifically with the arm design prior to obtaining the Sword of Judgment, though he still includes the sword. He is about the same height as his prior ''Studio Series'' Voyagers, filling out his price point with higher mass and parts count, including opening fingers and enough articulation to hold his sword with both hands. Easily missed, the truck hood on his backpack can be hinged up, which gives more room for his waist to rotate. His waist rotation does not include his crotch armor, which can make some poses look a little awkward. Curiously, his thigh armor has been incorrectly rendered as separate hip skirts like on his [[#Leader Class toys 5|2014 Leader Class mold]].

:He transforms into a licensed Western Star 5700EX truck in 44 steps. The fifth wheel hitch works with the trailers of his Generation 1 counterpart's most [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Earthrise|recent]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Studio Series|toys]], though they both end up hanging at an angle. He can't tow the trailer of his [[#SS44|''Dark of the Moon'' version]] due to that trailer’s larger peg.

:Optimus includes the Sword of Judgement, the Vector Shield, a silver-painted Energon blade, and a storage adapter piece. The sword features a removable hilt so figures without opening hands can wield it. The Vector Shield can be reassembled into its cannon mode using 5 mm connections. The sword and shield connect to the adapter piece to store on his robot back (this unfortunately results in his roof panel sticking up obtrusively behind his head) and in the truck hitch. The Energon blade can tab into his wrist and stores on tabs on either side of his back (though this risks chipping the paint on those tabs) and on tabs at the back of the truck mode.Undocumented, the blade can also attach to an otherwise unused tab underneath the shield.

:Optimus's large kibble backpack can be easily popped off its mushroom peg to give him a cleaner profile at the cost of weapon storage. There is also a [https://youtu.be/Kwk2zBPpL7o&t=1045 fan mode] that provides a more secure (and cleaner!) storage for the Sword in truck mode. This is done by opening the back of the truck cab and threading the hilt end of the sword into the oddly-perfectly sized space between the smokestacks and back of the cab, and then closing it back up. The adapter piece with shield attached can still be slid onto the blade and attached securely onto the fifth wheel hitch. Care should be taken not to damage the Sword when transforming back to robot mode, however.

:Optimus is missing some sculpting on the smokestacks that is present in the instructions, as well as having the tips of his smokestacks trimmed off. His official product description includes two major errors: the first mislabels Optimus' truck mode as a Western Star 4900EX rather than a 5700EX. The second is the mention of a swappable head gimmick, which designer Evan Brooks quickly clarified would not be the case.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Hello! That description seems to be an error. He doesn't come with an alternate head.|link=https://twitter.com/TFHypeGuy/status/1879335782542168556|name=Evan Brooks (via TFHypeGuy)|site=Twitter|year=2025|month=01|day=14}}</ref>

:Due to being larger and heavier than previous Voyagers, this Optimus can barely ride ''Studio Series'' [[Grimlock (AOE)#Studio Series|Grimlock]], another Leader Class figure from years prior. Fortunately, a Titan Class version of [[Grimlock (AOE)#SSTitan|Grimlock]] was released the next year, featuring a dedicated spot and peg for this Optimus to ride!

:Optimus was first teased at the October 2024 MCM Comic Con London, before being officially announced on [[January 13]], 2025. Pre-orders went live the next day.

:Released in the 20th wave of ''Studio Series'' Leader Class toys, Nemesis Prime is a retool of the previous year's ''Age of Extinction'' Optimus Prime. He comes with the updated forearms and biceps (though his hand armor was not retooled to match), an unmasked headsculpt, Quad Barrel Shotgun, and wrist blade based on ''The Last Knight'', omitting the Energon sword. In addition to his red war paint, he features a darker color scheme to signify his brainwashing by Quintessa and further differentiate him from the prior release. Due to all the new parts being cast in blue plastic, he is even ''more'' blue.

:For the first time ever, Nemesis is designated as a Decepticon on his packaging, though he retains his Autobot insignias on the figure itself. Hasbro stock photography (right) has a bent left antenna.

:Nemesis Prime was revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2025 and went up for pre-order on "[[September 17|Transformers Day]]" later that year. Nemesis appeared on shelves unexpectedly the week of December 15, with preorders shipping that Friday.

Optimus' truck mode can also be attached with the Energon Igniters core, and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly, making him a fast-moving truck.

:Due to its simplified transformation, Optimus' robot shoulder parts ended up sticking out from his truck mode, and his upper cabin panel ends up being integrated with his head. Unlike most Speed Series toys, he also shares a similar pivoting shoulder articulation from his ''Reveal the Shield'' counterpart, and his Energon Igniter port ends up under his right foot in robot mode rather than on his knee.

:Released as part of the ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' subline, Optimus Prime is now based on his appearance in ''Rise Of The Beasts'' - reusing only the windshield, wheels, and some transformation cues from [[#SS38|SS-38 Optimus Prime]]. He is rather impressively made using only 4 new molds compared to the usual 9. Optimus includes a new blade and arm cannon accessory. The blade can be handheld or mounted on his wrists, and both accessories can be used on either arm or stored on his back.

:He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a Freightliner FLT. Both accessories can be stored in the truck bed. The vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed in the stock images; the panels with the Autobot symbols on the front of his arms should be folded down and the fuel tanks in his legs should be folded out. He shares some transformation elements with MPM-12 Prime above, particularly in the arms.

:The figure is rather notorious for a number of design choices that are questionable at best, and outright designs flaws at worst. The shoulder articulation is extremely limited, resulting in him only being able to shrug when his arms are raised to the sides. Due to the mold and budget limitations, the truck has some prominent kibble in the rear and lacks a fifth wheel hitch. In some copies, his transformation scheme causes his rearmost tires to lift off the ground. The instructions imply the chest panels open out 90 degrees, but they only open to about 45. There's enough clearance and the plastic is thick enough that it shouldn't break if forced, but don't try to force it regardless.

:He also features design flaws in the grey panels on each forearm designed to open and allow the transformation of the hands. If opened all the way, a surface on the interior of each panel obstructs the fist you're trying to fold out or in and places undue stress on the wrist joint which can lead to Prime's hands snapping off at the base of their mushroom peg connection. So exercise caution and only open these grey panels to 45 degrees which paradoxically affords more clearance, rather than the full 90 to try and avoid this. There's also clearance issues between those panels and the roundel in the elbow which can pop the flaps off if the elbow is anything but straight.

:Whether by coincidence or by design, his chest can open up along with a third panel (that includes a faux grill not seen in either mode for some reason) in a manner that replicates his Matrix chamber in the 1986 movie, though no Matrix of Leadership toys can fit inside without impeding his transformation.

**''TakaraTomy name: '''Voyager Class Optimus Prime'''
**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''BV-01'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': June 24, 2023
**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster

:Released as part of the first wave of "Core" ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (toyline)|Rise of the Beasts]]'' Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime is based on early control art for the movie, and thus comes with his Ion Blaster accessory (He would end up having an arm mounted cannon in the film), which can be wielded in his hands, mounted on the 5 mm port on his back for robot mode storage, or mounted on the trailer hitch for vehicle mode storage. Due to him being based on control art, his mask's Cybernetic details and accessory is different from the movie. His gas tanks ''may'' have a tendency to pop off, so don't pull on them too hard during transformation.

:Optimus is mostly molded in gray plastic, with most of his red and ''all'' of his blue details being painted on. Care should be taken when handling the figure, as the black paint on his crotch is prone to chipping over time.

:Prime is compatible with most of the recent trailers released with his fellow Primes, but they all end up hanging at an angle as the trailer hitch is elevated up too far due to his feet.

:The vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed in the image to the right, the fuel tanks that are on the back of his legs in robot mode should be folded out for vehicle mode.

==Notes==
*The original design for what would become ''Dark of the Moon'''s [[#UltimatePrime|Ultimate Optimus Prime]] toy was significantly different. As Hasbro's toy designers did not know the purpose of the trailer in the film yet, they created a trailer that opened up to reveal a rotating cannon that Optimus would sit in. Once it was revealed to become a jetpack, the designers had to rush to redesign the toy. Takara's take became [[#Supreme Class toys|Jetwing Optimus Prime]], though it is currently unknown if theirs was also a last minute change.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://twitter.com/playwiththistoo/status/1595146431534600199|quote=That Hasbro trailer was very last minute.

Talk:Power of the Primes (toyline)

2023-03-04T01:34:04Z

Mamothcav32:

So, there's a video showing the first few waves of PotP toyline and I'm just wondering if that information should be added in. Click [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY8B81WOlzE&list=LLPW3R6yHaTxq0SX79SOPJ1A&index=16 das link] to check it out :3
:As it's all unofficial leaks, no, it shouldn't. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 07:19, 6 August 2017 (EDT)

Should I add the fact that the leak happened to the notes as almost half of the leaked waves have been confirmed?

== Prime Master faction bullets ==

Given that the Prime Masters don't have the Autobot or Decepticon symbols anywhere on them or their packaging, should their faction bullets be replaced with their unique insignia? --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 18:42, 24 November 2017 (EST)
:I say yes, but someone needs to program them. We should also give each Prime's page the insignia in the list of factions on the top, like some of them already are. [[User:West james|west james/notirishman]] ([[User talk:West james|talk]]) 18:50, 24 November 2017 (EST)

When will a list of the card info go up? The thread on the AllSpark is useful, but the link name is kinda long.[[User:Dvandom|Dvandom]] ([[User talk:Dvandom|talk]]) 17:28, 2 December 2017 (EST)

== Combiner Weapons ==
Unlike the Combiner Wars toyline, it looks like the Voyager class figures in this series aren't coming with weapons intended for use in Combiner mode, which leads me to guess that the Prime Masters are intended to be the weapons. Is this correct? [[User:Battlemaster|Battlemaster]] ([[User talk:Battlemaster|talk]]) 01:16, 14 December 2017 (EST)
:Due to the multiple negatives in that sentence I'm not sure what you are asking or even whether you are saying the POTP Voyagers come with weapons or without. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 07:54, 14 December 2017 (EST)

[[File:MTMTEDragstrip.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|One more word out of you, and I'll stomp my alt-mode.]]

'''Drag Strip''' (aka '''Dragstrip''') has never heard of the term "graceful in victory". He doesn't just like to win, he ''loves'' it. Drag Strip would sooner die a miserable death than ever sacrifice a victory, as he thrives on the bragging rights which accompany first place. He just loves to bite more than he can chew and can't keep himself from stroking his own ego and bragging about his accomplishments in ''excruciating'' detail.

The other Decepticons, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] included, hate his metal guts and would gladly pummel him to scrap for being plain obnoxious if it weren't for the fact that his insatiable lust for victory makes him a formidable foe against the [[Autobot]]s. Not that he cares; they're just jealous.

Drag Strip combines with his fellow Stunticons to form [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]].

[[File:KeytoVectorSigmaPt1 stealing DragStrip.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Long before fans, Rumble was inventing his own Toilet-modes for Transformers.]]
After a failed attempt to steal experimental [[superfuel]] from [[United States military]], [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] realized that while the Decepticons controlled the skies, the Autobots had supremacy on the ground, and so they needed new ground-based warriors who could out-drive and out-fight the Autobots on their terms. [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] was sent to steal various [[human]] vehicles that would be rebuilt into the new Stunticons. In Drag Strip's case, Rumble targeted the winner of a Formula 1 race on national television, which was a bad idea really, as it alerted the Autobots to Megatron's scheme. The Decepticons journeyed to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], beat the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] out of [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]'s possession and ordered the [[Vector Sigma|ancient supercomputer]] to give life to the Stunticons. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}} Whilst the Autobots were trapped on Cybertron, the Decepticons returned to [[Earth]] with the newly awakened Stunticons who began wreaking havoc and damaging the Autobots' good name by attacking the US military base containing the experimental rocket fuel. Eventually, the Autobots returned with the newly built [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] whose combined form [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] defeated the Stunticon combiner Menasor. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

Despite this defeat, the Stunticons were the key component in Megatron's elaborate scheme to hold [[Europa 2000|a fake charity race]] from Paris to Istanbul so he could steal U.S. driver [[Auggie Cahnay (G1)|Auggie Cahnay]]'s experimental car which would be melted down to house the powerful [[Pearl of Bahoudin]]. One by one, the Stunticons disabled the Autobot participants assigned to protect Cahnay, but the downfall of Megatron's plan came when he ordered the Stunticons to stop going after the remaining Autobots. Together, Cahnay, [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]], [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], and [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] defeated Menasor and destroyed the Pearl of Bahoudin. {{storylink|Trans-Europe Express}}

[[File:Dragstripcartoon.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Where'd he get this head from, anyway?]]
When Megatron needed additional equipment for his latest secret weapon, he sent the Stunticons out to steal it for him. Drag Strip and [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] stormed a U.S. military base and scooped up a new experimental generator for their leader. On the way back, Drag Strip kept trying to taunt the disinterested Dead End into racing with him back to base. Their racing was interrupted, though, by the Autobots [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] and [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]]. Drag Strip was knocked for a loop by Warpath's rapid-fire shells from his turret gun. Brought in to Autobot custody, the Stunticons were held prisoner while [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and the Autobots used camouflage paint to disguise themselves as the Stunticons in order to enter Megatron's good graces and learn the purpose of the stolen equipment. [[Mirage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Mirage]], the Autobots' spy, took Drag Strip's place. The Stunticons did manage to break loose, though, and smashed their way out of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] as Menasor and made their rendezvous with Megatron, only to find themselves confronted with a faux Menasor, created by a combination of Mirage's illusions and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]'s magnetism. The real Menasor easily broke the delicately bonded "Menasor", but the Autobots had also sabotaged the equipment before handing it over to Megatron. After the super-cannon exploded, the Stunticons fled the battle. {{storylink|Masquerade}}

[[File:CosmicRust DragStrip waterskiing.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|left|Come to Cuba, and let loose your wild side.]]
When Megatron was infected with [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] after a trip to the lost Autobot colony of [[Antilla]], the Stunticons were assigned to capture the Autobot scientist [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], who had developed the powerful anti-corrosion [[Corrostop]]. Drag Strip water skiied behind a speedboat driven by [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]], allowing him to force Perceptor to back into the waiting [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]]. After Megatron cured himself and infected the Autobots with the Cosmic Rust, Menasor attacked the Statue of Liberty in [[New York City]] with the ancient [[Lightning Bug]] heat ray, intent on stopping the Autobots from [[Matter duplicator|matter-duplicating]] more Corrostop from the layer they sprayed on the statue. Superion defeated Menasor and destroyed the Lightning Bug. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

After [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] was banished for yet another failed coup, he returned with a powerful new Decepticon team called the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] who were able to outfight Autobot and Decepticon alike. With Megatron needing a trump card, [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] attempted to call on the Stunticons to help, but Drag Strip said to tell Megatron to blow it out his exhaust pipe. However, the Stunticons belatedly arrived after the Combaticons' combined form of [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] defeated [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and forced Megatron to acknowledge Starscream as the new Decepticon leader. Realizing that Starscream would not stop at Megatron, the Stunticons merged into Menasor and disabled Bruticus in one mighty punch. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

In the wake of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s attack on Cybertron in the year [[2005]] and the subsequent Decepticon exile to [[Chaar]] in [[2006]], the Stunticons were reduced to being scavengers, fighting like [[slaarg]]s with their fellow Decepticons over the few scraps of energon they had. This changed when [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] brought news of [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]'s survival, and the Stunticons were among the first to donate their few remaining energon supplies to help revive their leader and give the Decepticons purpose. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} However, while Cyclonus and the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]] were resurrecting Galvatron, the [[Quintesson]]s arrived on Chaar with an offer of energon in exchange for attacking the Autobots. Drag Strip was among those who were incredulous at their offer... but the Stunticons were instrumental in convincing the other Decepticons to go along with the Quintessons. Drag Strip was the very first Decepticon to board the Quintesson ship when ordered. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} After Galvatron returned to seize control of the Decepticons, the Stunticons were part of the Decepticon team attacking the Autobots on Earth. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

[[File:G1 UltimateWeapon Stunticons.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
When the Decepticons took up arms in Europe, Drag Strip and the Stunticons were part of the troops Galvatron maintained out of their mobile headquarters, [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. They joined forces to battle Defensor as Menasor. Later, the Stunticons were diverted away from Trypticon by [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], allowing the Witwickys to sneak inside and steal the city-bot's transforming cog. As diversions go, it was a good one—the Stunticons were beaten senseless by the two Autobot leaders, and were in no position to pursue the thieves. Galvatron expressed his disgust with their performance by punting Drag Strip into a tree. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

Drag Strip made a very brief appearance on Chaar when [[Scourge (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Scourge]] used the power of the Matrix to temporarily wrest control of the Decepticons from Galvatron. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}} Drag Strip and the Stunticons were also among the first Decepticons to be infected by the [[Hate Plague]]. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

When [[Vector Sigma]] began perfecting the new super-metal [[Cybertonuron]] on Cybertron, Galvatron ordered another all-out attack on the planet to seize the metal for the Decepticons before the Autobots could make use of it. Drag Strip and the Stunticons journeyed to Cybertron with the strike force, and confronted their old enemies, the Aerialbots. The Aerialbots got the drop on Drag Strip's group by forming Superion and lashing out before the Stunticons could form Menasor as well. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Drag Strip and the Stunticons were still in a firefight sometime later, as [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] passed by looking for [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] and the Decepticon [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}} In [[San Francisco]], Drag Strip and the Stunticons assisted Bruticus in using [[buridanka|a carnivorous plant]] to distract the Autobots from [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s plans on [[Zarak (planet)|Zarak]]. They fought against the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s and [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}}

Sometime later, Drag Strip and the Stunticons gathered in the desert as their Ninja Commander [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] began issuing orders. They assembled as Menasor, and took part in the escalating Decepticon war effort as five separate Autobot outposts were attacked simultaneously at Sixshot's command. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} Drag Strip was also among the Decepticons who assembled to welcome Scorponok as their new Emperor of Terror following Galvatron's fall. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}}

Soon afterwards, Menasor was involved in a fight against the Autobots when both sides were interrupted by the dimensional intruder [[Grand Scourge]], who used his [[Matrix Breaker]] sword to disassemble Menasor with a single blow. After grappling Dead End, the dimensional intruder realized he could forcefully combine with the Stunticons. Before Drag Strip could react, he was grabbed by Grand Scourge and forced to serve as the left arm of the rogue Decepticon's gestalt mode. {{storylink|Decepticon Dark Commander Grand Scourge}} They Stunticons were saved when [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] arrived and defeated Grand Scourge, and Drag Strip fled while complaining that he just wanted to go back to demolition racing. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 53|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 53}}

Drag Strip and the Stunticons decided to have a little fun and tear up a baseball stadium in Japan. Luckily, the Autobots' plucky young ally [[Kenji]] was present to radio for assistance. All the combiner teams assembled, and it was Menasor and Bruticus against Superion and Defensor! Defensor was forced to break apart by the combined Decepticon attack, but Superion and Kenji got the idea to shoot out the Decepticons' legs. [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] and [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] took advantage of the empty combiner ports and took over as Menasor's legs, launching him into the ocean. {{storylink|Fight!

Later, [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] posed as humans to rally people against the Autobots, and Motormaster's brigade staged an attack on the rally to drive the point home. The Autobot fire engines [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] and [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] arrived, however, and used their water hoses to wash off the Decepticons' fake insignia. Enraged, Motormaster planned to combine into Menasor...only to see his men were already retreating into the distance. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 7|Fight!

In the year [[2010]], Drag Strip participated in a Decepticon attack on the planet Feminia. He and his team merged into Menasor in order to battle alongside Bruticus and Devastator against their Autobot counterparts Superion, Defensor and Omega Supreme. The fight was fairly evenly matched until Galvatron called up his ace-in-the-hole, [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], whose power was unmatched by any of the Autobots... except for the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]], who essentially tied Predaking's shoelaces together until he fell over, straight into Menasor and his chums, sending them all toppling to the ground and knocking them to bits. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

Galvatron kidnapped Doctor [[Dalton]] of [[Eran]] to upgrade the might of his combiner warriors. When the Autobot combiners arrived to save Dalton, Drag Strip and his teammates were deployed at high speeds from Motormaster's launcher mode. They met Superion in mid-air, and the force of their deployment enabled the combiner teams to tear him apart. The Stunticons then merged into Menasor to move in for the kill. They were ultimately outwitted by the Autobots, however, who rescued Dalton and safely returned to Metroplex. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}

====Full Throttle Scramble Power!====
The Decepticons constructed a new weapon to pursue their energy-plundering campaign on Earth, the [[Omega Wave Cannon]]. With the device at the ready, the Stunticons headed out to retrieve some energy from a power plant. They were met with the Aerialbots, and both teams combined into the gestalt forms. As they battled, Menasor made great use of his modular nature, having his Stunticon components swap between being arms and legs. Atop of this, Superion was crippled by the Omega Wave Cannon, giving the Decepticons the advantage. But the Autobots turned the tide of the battle by sending out massive amounts of reinforcements into the field, and the Decepticons were sent packing. {{storylink|Full Throttle Scramble Power!}}

''Drag Strip and the Stunticons, along with the other [[Special Teams]], were first conceived within [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]'s mind shortly after the human had relinquished control of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]].

[[File:Stunticonsmarvelg1.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|And thus Drag Strip was born! Oh, and all those blue guys, too, we guess.]]
Upon learning that the [[cerebro-shell]] implanted in Optimus Prime had also granted them access to the powers of the Creation Matrix, [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] immediately built a team of Decepticons. The new Stunticons, which included Drag Strip, were sent to find the Autobot [[Skids (G1)|Skids]], who had earned new trust for the Autobots by publicly saving a [[human]]. After Drag Strip and the others knocked over every car in their way to get to Skids, they turned to "protect" him from the new Aerialbots, hoping to confuse the public and discredit the Autobots. Drag Strip combined with his fellow Stunticons to form Menasor, and they fought the Aerialbots' Superion. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic!}}

''Drag Strip and the other Stunticons watched in horror as Megatron bludgeoned [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] with a boulder for suggesting that he might need their assistance in defeating Optimus Prime.'' {{storylink|Prey!}}

Megatron gathered Drag Strip and the rest of the Stunticons before him to escort him in gun mode to Florida, where they would be air-lifted to the Decepticons' [[Club Con|new island headquarters]]. In the wake of the death of Optimus Prime, Megatron's paranoia had grown so great that Drag Strip and the others left their leader behind to deal with a random human truck. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}} After Megatron's apparent demise, Drag Strip stood by while his new commander, Shockwave, spoke to [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] about the temporary use of [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|King of the Hill!}}

[[File:Decepticons enemy action.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|"I was the first one to know your plan sucked, Shockwave!"]]
''Drag Strip was at Shockwave's side when the Decepticon leader ordered his warriors to try and gun down [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] as he breached the defenses of their [[Club Con|underwater base]]. However, upon his arrival, Galvatron told the Decepticons that he had only wished to talk, and that Shockwave's decision to meet him with violence had only served to assure they had made a powerful enemy. Drag Strip turned to his leader, utterly unimpressed over how Shockwave had handled the situation.'' {{storylink|Enemy Action!}}

During a battle on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] between [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] for command of the combined Earth/[[Nebulos]] Autobot forces, recently promoted Decepticon commander Ratbat orchestrated a surprise assault on both groups. Motormaster led Drag Strip and the entire Earth-based Decepticon army from their space-faring Decepticon headquarters. But when Blaster and Grimlock noticed the ambush, they teamed up and turned the tide against the Decepticons. Drag Strip was defeated by a shot from Grimlock's missile launchers, and after many casualties, the Decepticons were forced to retreat. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

[[File:Vortex drag strip wildrider thrust starscream club con.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|left|Drag Strip will quickly take your bags up to your room.]]
Ratbat moved their space-traveling island base back to Earth's seas, where it became a human travel resort to smokescreen the Decepticons' efforts to locate a key to finding the powerful [[Underbase]]. Drag Strip was advertised on television as part of the island's smiling welcoming party. The Autobots sent Blaster and [[Jesse (G1)|Jessie]] to rescue [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]], and Jessie was able to sneak into the Decepticons' base and past Drag Strip and [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] (who were telling jokes to each other) to find Buster. Though the infiltrators were found out, both were able to escape the Decepticons. The attempt to subdue Blaster resulted in a firefight with him however, spooking many of the human vacationers. Drag Strip saw many of them off the island afterwards. {{storylink|Club Con!}} After the Decepticons found what they were looking for, Drag Strip was seen escorting Buster Witwicky back to his cell so that Starscream and Ratbat could review the data they had acquired privately. {{storylink|The Flames of Boltax!}}

Back in action on Earth, Drag Strip and his Stunticon partner Dead End began working for a faction of Decepticons led by Megatron. Megatron had created an [[Global warming satellite|ozone-warping rocket]], designed to trap heat in the atmosphere which could be tapped for a new source of energy, even though it would virtually destroy all life on Earth. Their plan was interrupted by two Autobots, [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]]. {{storylink|Starting Over!}} While Wheeljack kept the Stunticons busy, Prowl leapt onto the rocket itself, his weight knocking it off course and causing it to crash before it reached the apex point in the atmosphere it was meant to travel to. Drag Strip and Dead End raced to the crashsite, hoping to retrieve the atmospheric poisons Megatron had loaded it with. At the fallen rocket, however, they ran into [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]], who were interested in securing the equipment for their commander, [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]. The four Decepticons began to tussle, little realizing Prowl had already snuck away and neutralized the canisters. {{storylink|Life in the Slow Lane}}

Drag Strip attended an [[Enclave]] in an attempt to unite the disparate Decepticon factions, but Autobot sabotage ensured that it was unsuccessful by faking an assassination attempt on Megatron. Drag Strip was afterwards swept into a giant brawl between Megatron and Shockwave's troops. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}}

Later on, when the united Decepticon forces attacked the Autobot [[Earthbase]], Drag Strip was seen charging into battle in robot mode for some reason, even though the [[Battlecharger]]s and his fellow Stunticons were all racing forward in vehicle mode. Their goal was to kill some Autobots, while also distracting them as [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] looted a human [[oil tanker]] in the [[Gulf of Mexico]]. Both goals proved fruitless, and the Decepticons were driven off. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}} When the Decepticons needed to kidnap the Autobots' human ally, [[Irwin Spoon]], Drag Strip and the Stunticons ran interference for Motormaster so that he could get away with the human stored inside his cab. {{storylink|Front Line!

The two Stunticons raced up onto the rear bumpers of their foes, only to be caught off guard when the Autobots suddenly broke away, sending the Decepticon cars hurtling into the back wheels of their own boss, Motormaster, knocking all of them off the road. {{storylink|End of the Road!

Demonstrating patented bullying skills, Drag Strip and the Stunticons ganged up on the wily old Autobot and demanded <s>his lunch money</s> the data disk. Kup was relatively willing to give it up (the disk was, after all, a fake), but Drag Strip still had two of his buddies grab the Autobot's arms so's he could get in a few gutshots for good measure.

Along with many other Transformers, the Stunticons were transported into Earth's past when [[Teletran 3]] went wild. Ending up in 1930's [[Chicago]], Drag Strip was deactivated and locked into the form of a '30s car, which was fairly sporty for the time but not nearly as fast as his usual race car mode. He and the other Stunticons were briefly used for organized crime by a group of humans, until a group of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I.

They found him in the hands of [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Spike Witwicky]] and began attacking him (after all, he could always be repaired after the human was squished). Spike fought back, puncturing one of Drag Strip's tires, but the Stunticons eventually won and took Breakdown back to their starship-building site.

Swindle's hasty application of the combiner technology did not properly integrate the personalities of the Stunticons, leaving them arguing amongst themselves while combined. The Autobots managed to distract and overwhelm Menasor by targeting his components individually, bringing the gestalt down. Drag Strip and many of his comrades were taken into custody by Skywatch. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 5: "Earthworks"|Earthworks}}

After a few months in captivity, the Stunticons were broken out by the main Decepticon force once they returned to Earth.

The Stunticons stayed behind on Earth to kill the little Autobot, only to be knocked out by an electric surge when Bumblebee interrupted the space bridge's power flow, allowing the Autobots to recapture them. {{storylink|The Question}}

Once the war had ended and the Stunticons had returned to Cybertron, they took up residence in the growing Decepticon ghetto outside of Metroplex. Unwitting pawns in Starscream's scheme, Swindle convinced them that a better life was right around the corner... if they attacked the planet [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]] and pillaged the place.

{{bigquote|Only those who crossed the finish line first survive.}}

Many find the self proclaimed Drag Strip to be a distasteful individual. It's as if his vocal circuits were designed to incessantly irk everyone. Whether it be fighting, racing, or flat out robbery, Drag Strip would deceive his opponent by any means to prevail. Because of his trickery, everyone avoided him. Drag Strip's personality may be perceived as a defect, but to Megatron, this is the type of Decepticon he requires. Of course, other dishonest Cybertronians would seize the opportunity to demonstrate their superiority for trickery, only to cause Drag Strip to go on a rampage.

In battle, Drag Strip wielded a pair of "[[Shadow Daggers]]" and the "[[Lightspeed Cutting Torch]]". His active skill was "Blademarang":
*'''Blademarang'''—Drag Strip throws a dagger that strikes all opponents within the vicinity. Each target receives a DoT tick, which starts off with 260 points of damage, with a 20% increase to every successive tick. If there is more than one opponent, then Drag Strip can throw up to 2 blademarangs. An additional 20% damage will be contributed onto every additional enemy over 5 seconds. {{storylink|Transformers Online (2017 video game)|Transformers Online}} <ref>[http://tfol.qq.com/act/a20160726data/hero14.shtml Drag Strip on the Transformers Online website]</ref>

Dragstrip secretly arrived on Earth to race some of the local humans. When Hound found out, Dragstrip challenged the Autobots to a race. If they didn't race him, he would kill all the humans on the track at the current moment. Optimus reluctantly accepted the challenge, and sent Mirage and some other Autobot racers. Unfortunately, this left a large number of Autobots missing in the ranks, and Megatron saw this as an opportunity to hit the Autobots hard. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars| Race Day Mayhem Event}}

Dragstrip meets up with the rest of the Stunticons during the race requesting some backup. [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]] asked who the new black and red truck who stole his colors was, to which Breakdown replies it was their new recruit. Dragstrip took both Offroad and Breakdown to the track to race. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars}}

Starscream commented on how Dragstrip had more of an ego than he did, while Bludgeon just said he was glad to have Dragstrip on the team, even if he had to tolerate the egomaniac.

:''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Drag Strip transforms into a {{w|Tyrrell P34}} Six-Wheeler race car. He comes with a purple double-barreled plasma-energy blaster that attaches to the back of his vehicle mode. In robot mode he is armed with a small purple gravito-gun. His fists do not have peg holes, allowing them to be less obvious in vehicle mode. Because of this, his weapon plugs into the top of his wrist. Since he was designed with the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and 2010)|Scramble City]]-style combination, he can form the arm or leg to any similarly-constructed robot combination, though his nominal placement is as the right arm to [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. Due to the difference in his frame construction, Drag Strip is the only Stunticon whose car body faces forwards rather than backwards when used as a combiner leg.

:The picture on the right shows his vehicle mistransformed as the silver-chromed piece is supposed to be flipped back to form the engine block part and cover the Decepticon sigil, as shown [http://toys.tfw2005.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2007/10/transformers-g1-0308_1191473381.jpg here].

:Drag Strip's [[sticker]]s are asymmetrical and visibly different from those shown on packaging photos, and several stickers' worth of art are left un-cut and unusable on the sticker sheet. This is believed to be a result of a late-stage change in the placement of his [[rubsign]]. It seems that the rubsign was intended to be placed on the left side of the vehicle, with smaller stripe stickers on either side to make space for it, while the longer stripe stickers are used on the right side and the spoiler. Meanwhile, the space for the rubsign was originally covered by a wider stripe sticker.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://tfsquareone.blogspot.com/2019/08/hasbro-g1-drag-strip-hidden-stickers.html|name=Maz|site=Transformers Square One|title=Hasbro G1 Drag Strip - The Hidden Stickers|year=2019|month=08|day=22}}</reF> By carefully repositioning the rubsign and manually cutting the shapes into the unused printed sections of the sticker sheet, you can recreate this original layout if you so wish.

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Decepticon Drag Strip is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Classics|Mirage]]. He transforms into a closed-canopy Formula racer concept car. The front "wing" of the car mode detaches to become a handheld weapon. In spite of having clear red plastic in his light piping segment, Drag Strip's light piping gimmick was neutered... with red paint.

:Drag Strip suffers from sticky paint around the red cockpit similar to the sticky paint found on most [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]] [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|Prowl]]s.

:Like the other "Special Edition" figures, Drag Strip comes in a black book box-style packaging with monochrome art.

:"Dragstrip" is part of wave one of the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys and transforms from an Indianapolis-style racer to robot and back! He can also transform into a limb for any ''Combiner Wars''-style Voyager Class figure or form one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber's]] legs but is, of course, intended to be combined with [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]], [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]], [[Dead End (G1)#Combiner Wars|Dead End]], [[Offroad (CW)#Toys|Offroad]], and [[Blackjack (G1)#Generations|Blackjack]] to create [[Menasor (G1)#Generations|Menasor]]. He is also officially associated with [[Galvatronus (CW)#Toys|Galvatronus]], [[Ultra Prime]], and [[Grand Scourge|Scourge Grand Prime]] as well as being used with [[Superion (G1)#Generations|Superion]] due to [[Air Raid (G1)#Generations|Air Raid]] not being part of wave one. Dragstrip comes with a collector card featuring art from the episode "[[The Thin Blue Line]]" of ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]''.

:While the instructions have the spoiler in the proper position for the leg mode, they never actually show it pivoting up. Missing this step will result in a combiner with one leg slightly longer than the other, which will result in a lopsided stature unless another deluxe combiner with a spoiler-mounted peghole (such as Breakdown) is used as the other leg. Bear in mind the photo to the right shows the leg incorrectly transformed with the spoiler still down.

:Dragstrip's included dagger includes a diagonally-oriented 5mm peg that seemingly serves no purpose, as his forearms are too large to allow it to be held as such. The dagger also has no unobstructive place to mount while Dragstrip is in vehicle mode, causing it to protrude outwards from the vehicle no matter where it attaches.

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

:Though designated for release in the first quarter of 2015, Dragstrip's wave reached U.S. store shelves in late 2014.

:This mold was retooled into [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Mirage]]. Two years later, the mold's wheels and Combiner joint would be reused for [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|''Power of the Primes'' Jazz]].

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy]]'' Deluxe Class toys, "Decepticon Dragstrip" is a mostly cartoon-accurate version of the character, except for the shoulder pylons that are formed from the the car's front air dam. He transforms into a close approximation of his Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler race car mode in 17 steps. His accessories include two blasters, which can mount on his race car mode or combine side-by-side into a dual-barrel blaster. Dragstrip is also the only wave 1 Deluxe of the ''Legacy'' line to not use any translucent plastic in his construction.

:Dragstrip combines with his fellow ''Legacy'' Stunticon toys to form Menasor. When Dragstrip is attached to Menasor's right arm, a hidden button on his underside is depressed, releasing a spring-locked latch that allows the figure to split in two at the waist, thereby giving Menasor a full range of elbow motion. As ''Legacy'' Menasor is designed with a specific limb configuration in mind, Dragstrip is limited to being Menasor's right arm, as he's incompatible with the tabbing system on the left arm intended for Dead End. Due to this design, Drag Strip is also not compatible with any prior systems of combination.

As if!) on his [[concussion weapon|concussion rifle]] if he gets cornered in an alley. As you'd expect, his paranoia is his worst weakness. It's such a problem that the stress can trigger mechanical problems, and it does, constantly. (Oh, yeah, I bet you'd ''love'' to claim this was "self-inflicted"!)

Breakdown can also combine (They'll never take me alive!!) with his fellow [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] to form [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. As if the combiner wasn't unstable enough (It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you!!!), he's forced into working together with [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] (Oh god, I have to run together with HIM?) when they form Menasor's legs. In some universes, he is paired with [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]] instead. (Don't believe his lies!) In others, he is part of [[Galvatronus (CW)|Galvatronus]] or [[Grand Scourge]] (Eek! They're even worse than Menasor!).

[[File:Ktvs1 megs builds breakdown.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|These Snap-Tite kits are awesome!]]
After a failed attempt to steal experimental rocket fuel from [[United States military]], [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] realized that while the Decepticons controlled the skies, the Autobots had supremacy on the ground, and so they needed new ground-based warriors who could out-drive and out-fight the Autobots on their terms. [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] was sent to steal various [[human]] vehicles that would be rebuilt to become the new Stunticons. Breakdown was given [[Spark|life]] by [[Vector Sigma]] along with the rest of the Stunticons. He agreed to obey Megatron, but there was a certain reluctance in his voice. He probably thought Megatron was out to get him, or something. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}}

[[File:Breakdown.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|I'm Breakdown and... what the $*#@! are you looking at?!]]
Whilst the Autobots were trapped on Cybertron, the Decepticons returned to [[Earth]] with the newly awakened Stunticons who began wreaking havoc and damaging the Autobots' good name by attacking the US military base containing the experimental rocket fuel. Eventually, the Autobots returned with the newly built [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] whose combined form Superion defeated the Stunticon combiner Menasor. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

Despite this defeat, the Stunticons were the key component in Megatron's elaborate scheme to hold a [[Europa 2000|fake charity race]] from Paris to Istanbul so he could steal US driver [[Auggie Cahnay (G1)|Auggie Cahnay]]'s car which would be melted down to house the powerful [[Pearl of Bahoudin]]. One by one, the Stunticons disabled the Autobot participants assigned to protect Cahnay. Afterwards, the Stunticons were defeated when Cahnay rammed his car into Menasor's face. {{storylink|Trans-Europe Express}}

[[File:Cosmicrust taking over this boat.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|Oh, God, People!, get away from me!]]
When Megatron was infected with [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] after a trip to the lost Autobot colony of [[Antilla]], the Stunticons were assigned to capture the Autobot scientist [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], who had developed the powerful anti-corrosion [[Corrostop]]. Arriving incognito on a ferry, Breakdown transformed and nervously informed the human passengers that this was a mutiny...no, no a hijack! Anyway, they were taking over the boat! Breakdown forced the humans into the captain's cabin, though he actually locked them in the garage. After Megatron cured himself and infected the Autobots with the Cosmic Rust, Menasor attacked the Statue of Liberty in [[New York City]] with the ancient [[Lightning Bug]] heat ray, intent on stopping the Autobots from [[Matter duplicator|matter-duplicating]] more Corrostop from the layer they sprayed on the statue. Superion defeated Menasor and destroyed the Lightning Bug. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

After [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] was banished for yet another failed coup, he returned with a powerful new Decepticon team called the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], who were able to outfight Autobot and Decepticon alike. With Megatron needing a trump card, [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] attempted to call on the Stunticons to help, but they refused as they were having a demolition derby with various human-owned cars. However, the Stunticons belatedly arrived after the Combaticons' combined form of [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] defeated [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and forced Megatron to acknowledge Starscream as the new Decepticon leader. Realizing that Starscream would not stop at Megatron, the Stunticons merged into Menasor and disabled Bruticus in one mighty punch. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

[[File:Masquerade as i preducted.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|Shouldn't the [[Red Alert (G1)|insanely paranoid]] Lambo Autobot have taken his place?]]
While assembling a new weapon capable of destroying any target by creating a chain reaction in its molecules, Megatron found himself short a few key components to finish the device. He sent the Stunticons out to retrieve those components by any means necessary. Breakdown and [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] assaulted a local optics laboratory to gather new focusing lenses for the cannon's beam. On their way to the weapon's construction site, they were intercepted by a troop of Autobots. It was [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] who brought down Breakdown, setting him on fire with his arc-welder rifle by using a trail of fuel as a fuse. The Stunticons were dragged back to Autobot Headquarters for imprisonment, an experience that Breakdown considered thoroughly "mortifrying". Once brought in, the Stunticons' radios were disabled and they were trapped in vehicle mode behind energized bars. The Autobots then used camouflage paint to alter their appearances and mimic the Stunticons, hoping to get close enough to Megatron to catch him unawares. Autobot warrior [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] assumed Breakdown's appearance for the mission. After they left, however, Breakdown tried using his unique vibratory pulses to disrupt his bars and break free, and just as he "preducted", it worked! He caught his Autobot captors by surprise and blasted several of them before they could react, giving him enough time to free his fellow Stunticons and form Menasor. After a brief but memorable conflict, Menasor escaped the Ark and returned to Megatron. The cannon was rendered unusable by the Autobots' intervention, though, and Megatron's plan failed. {{storylink|Masquerade}}

[[File:Ffod3 squalor on chaar.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Breakdown never did like sitting around the campfire with the other Decepticons.]]
In the wake of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s attack on Cybertron in the year [[2005]] and the subsequent Decepticon exile to [[Chaar]] in 2006, the Stunticons were reduced to being scavengers, fighting like [[slaarg]]s with their fellow Decepticons over the few scraps of energon they had. Motormaster determined that the Decepticons needed strong leadership to survive, and hope came when [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] brought news of [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]'s survival and asked for the Decepticons to donate their remaining energon to revive their leader. While Dead End was pessimistic about their survival, Breakdown said they were doomed anyway without a leader and focus. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} However, while Cyclonus and the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]]s were resurrecting Galvatron, the [[Quintesson]]s arrived on Chaar with an offer of energon in exchange for attacking the Autobots. The Stunticons were instrumental in convincing the other Decepticons to ally themselves with the Quintessons. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} After Galvatron returned to seize control of the Decepticons, the Stunticons were part of the Decepticon team attacking the Autobots on Earth. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

=====Scramble City=====
[[File:Scramblecity breakdown forms an arm.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|Arm? Leg? He's the guy with the gun!]]
Breakdown and the Stunticons were summoned by Megatron to put an end to the [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]] project, and succeeded where [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] had failed. Their first strike was impressive, holding back [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and a cadre of Autobots and shooting the Aerialbots out of the skies. When the Aerialbots formed Superion, Breakdown and his teammates followed suit and merged into Menasor. During the battle, the Stunticons tried mixing it up by swapping around their usual configuration, and Breakdown became Menasor's left arm. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
[[File:Hmep3 breakdown and dragstrip.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
Breakdown and the Stunticons participated in Galvatron's siege on Cybertron. They managed to gain the high ground against the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] and [[Throttlebot]]s, and rained laser fire down on their opponents. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Breakdown and his team formed Menasor to fight their Autobot counterparts, but were steamrolled by the might and firepower of the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]]. Transporting back to Earth, they attempted to interfere with [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]]'s quest for the Matrix. Breakdown and the Stunticons were confronted by the Aerialbots in the desert, but the battle of their combiner forms eventually led them to the Arctic. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

When [[Vector Sigma]] began perfecting the new super-metal [[Cybertonuron]] on Cybertron, Galvatron ordered another all-out attack on the planet to seize the metal for the Decepticons before the Autobots could make use of it. Breakdown and the Stunticons journeyed to Cybertron with the strike force, and confronted their old enemies, the Aerialbots. The Aerialbots got the drop on Breakdown's group by forming Superion and lashing out before the Stunticons could form Menasor as well. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Breakdown and the Stunticons were still in a firefight sometime later, as [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] passed by looking for [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] and the Decepticon [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}} In [[San Francisco]], Breakdown and the Stunticons assisted Bruticus in using [[buridanka|a carnivorous plant]] to distract the Autobots from [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s plans on [[Zarak (planet)|Zarak]]. They fought against the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] and [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}}

Sometime later, Breakdown and the Stunticons gathered in the desert as their Ninja Commander [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] began issuing orders. They assembled as Menasor, and took part in the escalating Decepticon war effort as five separate Autobot outposts were attacked simultaneously at Sixshot's command. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} The Stunticons remained on Earth while Scorponok took the bulk of the Decepticon forces to planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], hiding from the Autobots in the sunken continent of [[Lemuria (myth)|Lemuria]] where they mined [[crysmagnetal]]. When Scorponok returned, the Stunticons, combined as Menasor, joined in the final battle between the Autobot and Decepticons at the North Pole. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

Breakdown and the Stunticons decided to have a little fun and tear up a baseball stadium in Japan. Luckily, the Autobots' plucky young ally [[Kenji]] was present to radio for assistance. All the combiner teams assembled, and it was Menasor and Bruticus against Superion and Defensor! Defensor was forced to break apart by the combined Decepticon attack, but Superion and Kenji got the idea to shoot out the Decepticons' leg components. [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] and [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] took advantage of the empty combiner ports and took over as Menasor's legs while [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] and [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] took over as Bruticus' lower limbs. All four Protectobots immediately launched Menasor and Bruticus into the ocean. Breakdown was last seen chasing his "possessed" teammates into the distance. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 5|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #5}}

While posing as Autobots, Breakdown, [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] and the Stunticons rampaged through the city streets, smearing the good name of their adversaries. Later, [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] posed as humans to rally people against the Autobots, and Motormaster's brigade staged an attack on the rally to drive the point home. The Autobot fire engines [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] and [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] arrived, however, and used their water hoses to wash off the Decepticons' fake insignia. Enraged, Motormaster planned to combine into Menasor...only to see Breakdown and the others were already retreating into the distance. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 7|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #7}}

Breakdown was one of the Decepticons that oversaw the conversion of a [[Battle Dog|dog]] into a Decepticon weapon. The awesome energy within the animal allowed it to escape, and Megatron was forced to send out the Combaticons in order to retrieve it. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 8|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #8}}

=====''The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers''=====
In the year [[2010]], Breakdown participated in a Decepticon attack on the planet Feminia. He and his team merged into Menasor in order to battle alongside Bruticus and Devastator against their Autobot counterparts Superion, Defensor and Omega Supreme. The fight was fairly evenly matched until Galvatron called up his ace-in-the-hole, [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], whose power was unmatched by any of the Autobots... except for the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]], who essentially tied Predaking's shoelaces together until he fell over, straight into Menasor and his chums, sending them all toppling to the ground and knocking them to bits. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}
{{note|Breakdown only appears as a component of Menasor}}

=====''The Great Transformer War''=====
Galvatron kidnapped Doctor [[Dalton]] of [[Eran]] to upgrade the might of his combiner warriors. When the Autobot combiners arrived to save Dalton, Breakdown and his teammates were deployed at high speeds from Motormaster's launcher mode. They met Superion in mid-air, and the force of their deployment enabled the combiner teams to tear him apart. The Stunticons then merged into Menasor to move in for the kill. They were ultimately outwitted by the Autobots, however, who rescued Dalton and safely returned to Metroplex. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}

====Full Throttle Scramble Power!====
The Decepticons constructed a new weapon to pursue their energy-plundering campaign on Earth, the [[Omega Wave Cannon]]. With the device at the ready, the Stunticons headed out to retrieve some energy from a power plant. They were met with the Aerialbots, and both teams combined into the gestalt forms. As they battled, Menasor made great use of his modular nature, having his Stunticon components swap between being arms and legs. Atop of this, Superion was crippled by the Omega Wave Cannon, giving the Decepticons the advantage. But the Autobots turned the tide of the battle by sending out massive amounts of reinforcements into the field, and the Decepticons were sent packing. {{storylink|Full Throttle Scramble Power!}}

[[File:G2Redux-Breakdownlongwayforrevenge.jpg|thumb|upright=0.75]]
Some time after the return of Cybertron's Golden Age, Breakdown was the only remaining [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]]. The others were all placed in stasis after a brutal fight with [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. Breakdown left [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]'s army. His self-esteem had decreased considerably without [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] to prove his value, and he feared it was only a matter of time before the volatile Decepticon leader simply did away with him. Breakdown traveled back to Earth in hopes of tracking down the last [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobot]] [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] for revenge, and eventually joined [[Clench (G1)|Clench]]’s Decepticon Syndicate.

In 2010, Breakdown helped Clench take control of the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, where the Decepticons and the [[Quintesson]] agent [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] hoped to harness the potential of the chemical [[forestonite]]. Breakdown expressed his distrust of Sky-Byte, but his views were ignored by Clench who nominated both soldiers as test subjects for the refined forestonite. Luckily for them, the new fuel worked as intended. Breakdown's vibration ability was enhanced considerably, allowing him to fire sonic booms at his enemies.

He got to try out his new powers and try for vengeance when Streetwise and his fellow Generation 2 Autobots broke in, attempting to stop Clench's plan. After throttling Streetwise for a while, Breakdown had his enemy in his grip, but when he saw the Autobot commander [[Pyro (G1)|Spark]] making a grab for the forestonite, he blasted the supply, hoping to blow it and Spark up.

Instead, the shattered canisters released forestonite gas, and exposed the Autobots to the same mutations as the Decepticons. Now granted the capability to phase through objects, Streetwise vanished from sight, psyching out the increasingly paranoid Breakdown. Eventually, he was able to sneak right up on the Decepticon. Breakdown would’ve been taken prisoner, but an explosion from outside startled Streetwise just long enough for Breakdown to transform and speed off in escape. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}

Many years ago on Cybertron, Breakdown existed before he was born and had joined [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] and [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] in shooting at [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]. {{storylink|Spacehikers!}}

[[File:Stunticonsmarvelg1.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Breakdown is the blue guy in the background.]]
''Though [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]] had given the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] back to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], its influence was still present in his mind. He and Prime had their minds connected to a machine, where they shared a vision of a "Second Generation" of Transformers. Breakdown was the member of the Stunticons, one of four [[Special Teams]]. In this vision, Breakdown and his fellow Stunticons combined into Menasor and fought the Autobots Superion and Defensor. But [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] were listening in on this vision, and both sides planned to make it reality.'' {{storylink|The Special Teams Have Arrived}} {{storylink|Second Generation!}}

[[File:Breakdown raat compression cannon heavy traffic.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8]]
Upon learning that the [[cerebro-shell]] implanted in Optimus Prime had also granted them access to the powers of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]], Megatron and Soundwave immediately built a team of Decepticons. The new Stunticons, which included Breakdown, were sent to find the Autobot [[Skids (G1)|Skids]], who had earned new trust from the Autobots by publicly saving a [[human]]. After Breakdown and the others knocked over every car in their way to get to Skids, they turned to "protect" him from the new [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], hoping to confuse the public and discredit the Autobots. Breakdown combined with his fellow Stunticons to form [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], and they fought the Aerialbots' [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic!}}

''The other Stunticons watched as Megatron raged at the accidentally insolent Motormaster. Breakdown looked especially concerned as Megatron seemed to have crushed Motormaster under a boulder, but Megatron had purposefully missed to teach him a lesson.'' {{storylink|Prey!}}

Breakdown had traveled early with some other Decepticons to their [[Club Con|new island headquarters]], where he helped construct an energy transfer pipeline that led from the island through the [[space bridge]] to Cybertron. Megatron, meanwhile, had been attacked by [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] under secret orders from [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]. When Predaking was defeated, (possibly) Breakdown found a "[[laser disk]]" inside Predaking that proved Shockwave's treachery. And then Megatron went nuts and apparently blew up himself and the Space Bridge before their eyes. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}}

[[File:Clubconresort.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|left|Breakdown is responsible for the mints on pillows.]]
Breakdown was seen among the Decepticons on board Shockwave's island base. When it was attacked by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]], Breakdown and the others traveled with the space-faring island headquarters into Earth's orbit, though Shockwave was seemingly killed in the process. {{storylink|The Desert Island of Space!}} [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]], who had assumed command, organized Breakdown and the other Decepticons in a battle against the Autobots on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]] defended himself by throwing a moon rock at his head. But when their island ship was damaged, Ratbat called for a retreat. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

Ratbat moved their space-traveling island base back to Earth's seas, where it became a human travel resort to smokescreen the Decepticons' efforts to locate a key to finding the powerful [[Underbase]]. Breakdown was advertised on television as part of the island's smiling welcoming party. {{storylink|Club Con!}} Shortly thereafter, Ratbat's Decepticons met with [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]'s Decepticons, and tempers and suspicions came to a head between the two groups as Breakdown was helping move fuel to the island base's fission tubes. {{storylink|Cold War!}}

Breakdown was briefly seen at the [[Enclave]], rubbing shoulders with the various troops from Megatron and [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]'s factions. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}} Later, after the factions merged, he drove into battle alongside the Stunticons and [[Battlecharger]]s when [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] led an attack on Autobot [[Earthbase]]. Although the Autobot defense systems were down at the time, Breakdown and his comrades were still ultimately driven off. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}} On another occasion, Starscream and Soundwave learned the Autobots had a [[Irwin Spoon|human reporter]] writing a positive story about them. Fearing that good publicity among the humans would give Earthforce an edge, they sent the Stunticons to kidnap the human. {{storylink|Front Line!

They sealed the door to the audience chamber during the attack, and so Soundwave summoned the Stunticons as Menasor to break through the door. They eventually did so, and Breakdown and Dead End were about to execute the Decepticon traitors when Death's Head returned with news of Shockwave's demise. Using a series of explosives built into his hover platform as an incentive, the bounty hunter forced Soundwave and the other Decepticons to submit to their leadership. {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}}

Breakdown and the rest of the Stunticons were being kept a secret from the Autobots until Megatron was ready to dispatch them on a raid on the [[Pullen Power Plant]]. Once in position, the Stunticons raced forward, ready to take whatever Autobots might be guarding the location by surprise. Breakdown drove ahead of the rest of the group, scouting for an open road to their destination. Encountering the Protectobots en route, Motormaster ordered Breakdown and the other Stunticons to combine into Menasor to do battle. Dead End and Breakdown received the most damage during the fight, prompting them to send signals to their gestalt form to flee the battle.

Breakdown decided to stay quiet, however, and let himself be used by a human criminal gang until he and the others were found by a group of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I.

Joes and attack an Autobot peace ceremony in the form of Menasor. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} Following the battle, he and [[Nautilator]] were assigned to guard the imprisoned Joes, and Breakdown told his fellow Decepticon how freaky it was to be on Earth and have all those fleshlings stare at you. He then decided to check up on the [[Snake-Eyes|prisoner in black]], only to hypnotized by the human's [[Arashikage]] ninja techniques and forced to gun down Nautilator. After then freeing the humans, Breakdown was released from Snake-Eyes's control and fell unconscious. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}} After coming to his senses, Breakdown joined his fellow Decepticons in repelling a joint Autobot/G.I. Joe assault. Despite being backed up by powerful 'bots such as [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], the Decepticons were defeated and Cybertron remained in the Autobots' control. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[...For All Mankind|Transformers vol. 1 #1]]
[[File:Broadcast-BreakdownWildrider.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Early in the war, Breakdown and Wildrider tried to take out the anti-Decepticon pirate news broadcaster, [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], after [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] had revealed his location. They attacked Blaster only to be taken out by the arriving [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|Broadcast}}

After Megatron fell in battle and the powerful but unreliable Scorponok took over the cause, many Decepticons scattered rather than serve under him. Breakdown and the Stunticons became highwaymen on [[Magmara Nine]] until [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]] arrived and told them Megatron was back in charge. {{storylink|Primacy issue 2|Primacy #2}} Breakdown and the Stunticons participated in a massive strike on Autobot-controlled Cybertron under Megatron's command, launching the modern incarnation of the Autobot/Decepticon War. {{storylink|Primacy issue 4|Primacy #4}}

[[File:ForAllMankind-Breakdown.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"I hated that show!"]]
Breakdown was among the Decepticons abandoned on Earth after the fall of [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]. Two years later, he was so desperate for energon that he attacked a human solar power planet, looking to somehow recharge. [[Skywatch]] was dispatched to the scene, and they overpowered the Stunticon using armored [[Crash suit]]s. By attaching a mode-lock device, the Skywatch agents forcibly reverted Breakdown to vehicle mode, leaving him trapped and unable to operate himself. [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Spike Witwicky]] took possession of Breakdown's car mode himself after the battle. {{storylink|...For All Mankind}}

Breakdown was then been relegated to Spike's pimpmobile, although the human did repair the battle damage first before taking the Decepticon out on the town. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 1: "New Arrivals, Old Encounters"|New Arrivals, Old Encounters}} Witwicky drove Breakdown to Skywatches' headquarters to interrogate Optimus Prime, who had surrendered himself. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 2: "A Rude Awakening"|A Rude Awakening}}

After an enlightening conversation with Optimus, Spike left to drive Breakdown around to help clear his head. He asked Breakdown rhetorical questions about his feelings on the war, knowing that the [[Suppressor (device)|suppressor]] kept the captive Decepticon from being able to listen, but Spike's one-sided chat was suddenly interrupted. The other [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] had surrounded Breakdown on the road, hoping to rescue him. Reclaiming Breakdown wouldn't be easy, as Spike began unloading gunfire at them through his busted window. Despite these countermeasures, Spike was forced to abandon Breakdown by leaping out his window into a body of water when he saw the much bigger [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] heading towards him in a game of chicken.

Breakdown was returned to the construction site of a spaceship, built by an alliance between some Decepticons and a group of Autobots led by [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Hot Rod]]. [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] spent three hours doing mysterious repairs on Breakdown, cutting into time needed to build the spaceship, a decision that had begun to rub the Autobots the wrong way. But when [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and a group of deputized Autobots under [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]]'s command arrived to arrest everyone for their illegal actions, Swindle's gambit was revealed. Breakdown had been rebuilt, like the other Stunticons, to combine into the massive [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. Surprise! {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 4: "Enemies of the System"|Enemies of the System}}

[[File:PoliceAction1-Breakdown.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Breakdown teaches Spike an important lesson in helmet safety.]]
Despite their new physical power, however, the Stunticons' combiner process was imperfect. The individual robots' personalities did not properly blend into one another to create the Menasor gestalt mind, leaving them mentally disorganized. Breakdown was heard complaining that he couldn't see anything from his position as one of the legs. The Autobots took advantage of this weakness, targeting the individual Stunticon components in sequence. Breakdown was seen surrendering to Skywatch in the aftermath. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 5: "Earthworks"|Earthworks}}

[[File:Stunticons The Question.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Months later, the Stunticons were freed from their captivity when Decepticons under Megatron's command returned to Earth and attacked the Skywatch facility where they were held. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 1: The Demolished Man|The Demolished Man}} Around six weeks later, Breakdown ran Spike off his motorbike and attempted to kill him. Unfortunately, [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] and [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] were observing Spike as part of the Autobots' investigation into him, and they gave Breakdown a bit of a beating. {{storylink|Police Action: Part 1|Police Action #1}} He returned to the other Decepticons, who were planning on joining Megatron on Cybertron via [[space bridge]], but ended up staying behind alongside the other Stunticons to destroy an intruding Bumblebee. However, Bumblebee was able to capture all five of them by sabotaging the bridge, causing a power surge that knocked them out. {{storylink|The Question}}

Losing to Bumblebee was a major blow to the Stunticons' egos and reputation. They mostly stayed off the radar when Cybertron was repopulated following the Chaos event, congregating in the Decepticon ghetto outside of New Iacon. When Swindle arrived with the [[Enigma of Combination]] to restore Menasor, however, Breakdown and the Stunticons jumped at the chance to reclaim their fame. Swindle and the Stunticons travelled through Metroplex's space bridge and stormed Caminus. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}}

Things quickly went downhill for the Stunticons and Menasor was summarily trounced by the similarly rebuilt Superion. The Stunticons were disassembled, sent back to Cybertron, and imprisoned. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} Swindle sprang the Stunticons as part of a diversion; they formed Menasor and incited a Decepticon riot at Metroplex's space bridge. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} The Stunticons fared poorly in their second fight against the Autobot combiners, and after Menasor fell the Stunticons were put away for good. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

[[File:InvasionEpilogue-cardtable.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Aw dang we hoped they'd bump into the teal and pink one!]]
A Breakdown (in a forestonite-enhanced body) was among the many Offworlders in [[Axiom Nexus]]. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 4}}

Another Breakdown, hailing from a [[The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3|universe]] where an Autobot-Decepticon alliance was fighting a group of violent techno-organic aliens known as [[Destructon]]s, was tasked by Galvatron to find the Destuctons' ancient structure known as the [[Maelstrom Fracture Obelisk]]. Eventually finding it, Breakdown was about to report its location when the Destructon known as [[Psychokhan]] attacked, piercing him with a Psychospear. The spear's mental assault combined with the power of the obelisk's [[Disentanglement Field]] to send Breakdown flinging through the multiverse. Years later, the [[Transcendent Technomorph]]s found his energy signature in [[unspace|transwarp]] and brought him into [[Axiom Nexus]]. The advanced Cybertronians quickly fitted him with an [[identification bolt]] and left him under constant surveillance. {{storylink|Breakdown (G1)#Timelines|TFSS Breakdown bio card}}

Breakdown was playing cards with a number of other bots in Axiom Nexus when [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Hero Prime|Hero Prime]] and [[Optimus Prime (Armada)#Beast Prime|Beast Prime]] turned up looking for [[Depth Charge (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Depth Charge]]. {{storylink|Invasion: Epilogue}}

[[File:BotCon2010Promo-Breakdown.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|For some reason he has a thing about [[BotCon]].]]
*Breakdown and the rest of the Stunticons drove over a barren, rocky terrain to meet against the Aerialbots. Both teams combined, and their gestalt forms engaged in a no-holds-barred slug-fest. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Aerialbots and Stunticons|Aerialbots and Stunticons commercial}}
*[[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] called Breakdown and [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]] to him to help him brainstorm ideas for more ultimate weapons. Breakdown suggested they visit [[BotCon]] again, as it was the destination for everything Transformers-related. Also, there would be exclusive toys, special guests, and various functions and events! Little did Breakdown know that Counterpunch was a double agent, and that the Decepticons' designs for BotCon would soon be relayed to the Autobots. {{storylink|BotCon 2010 Promo}}

===''Transformers Legends''===
[[File:TFLegends-Breakdowncardart.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|[[Signal Lancer (Cybertron)|Signal Lancer]] just can't catch a break.]]
Breakdown and the rest of the Stunticons were created in response to the failure of a Decepticon campaign to acquire Autobot superfuel. Realizing they needed a strong ground force, Breakdown and his kin were created by modifying Earth vehicles with Cybertronian technology, and then bringing them before Vector Sigma to be imbued with the spark of life. The Autobots brought the Aerialbots to life at the same time, and the Decepticons found themselves on the losing side until the Stunticons merged into Menasor. The Decepticons lost nonetheless, though they acquired the key to Vector Sigma as a consolation prize. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1 (Legends)|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}} Later, Breakdown participated in a fight on Earth as the Decepticons attempted to use the power of the key to transform Earth into a new Cybertron. Even though he and his fellow Stunticons merged into Menasor, the battle was still lost to the Autobots, and the Decepticons fled. {{storylink|Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

Even [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] had trouble controlling the Stunticons. The team went on a crime spree in the back alleys of human cities until they were tracked down and stopped by [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and his team. {{storylink|The Thin Blue Line}}

Breakdown was among [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s Decepticon troops who attacked a small group of Autobots, forcing them into hiding in the [[Autobot Mausoleum]]. {{storylink|Dark Awakening (Legends)|Dark Awakening}}

Wildrider and Breakdown were sent to stop a convoy of Autobots from delivering a vital component to a power station to prevent it exploding. Possibly because they were the only ones crazy enough not to realize they'd be in danger if they were near the station when it exploded. They failed anyway. {{storylink|Rushdown Road}}

**''Team ID number'': '''S2'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''D-51'''
**''Accessories'': [[Concussion weapon|concussion rifle]], [[plasma-energy blaster]], connector
:The original Breakdown toy transforms into an off white [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Lamborghini Countach|Lamborghini Countach]]. He comes with a blue double-barreled plasma-energy blaster that attaches to the back of his vehicle mode. In robot mode, he is armed with a small blue laser pistol. As he was designed with the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and 2010)|Scramble City]]-style of combination, he can form the arm or leg to any similarly-constructed super robot. Although the 1986 Stunticon gift set shows Breakdown as the left arm of Menasor, Breakdown's nominal placement is as Menasor's right leg.

:In early preproduction samples of the toy, Breakdown's Decepticon [[sticker]] was placed on his vehicle-mode door—but at some point, it was replaced with a [[rubsign]], which then in turn was moved to a sculpted indent on the toy's roof for the final release (the instructions ended up suggesting that the Decepticon sticker be placed on his crotch). With the rubsign taking up space on the roof, the original Countach-accurate trapezoid sculpted indent was shortened, and another red sticker was dropped from the sticker sheet—but the printed red section remains, allowing you to cut it out and apply it yourself if you wish. Breakdown's arm stickers are mirrored, leaving it up to preference which sides they should go on; sources agree that the red dots should be at the top. Finally, the small square stickers—which the instructions suggest slapping onto the front of his shins—appear to be sized for the square regions next to his knee hinges, a fact supported by early test shots of the figure; again, the boxart suggests the red dots should be at the top.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://tfsquareone.blogspot.com/2020/05/hasbro-g1-breakdown-hidden-sticker.html|name=Maz|site=Transformers Square One|title=Hasbro G1 Breakdown - More Hidden Stickers|year=2020|month=05|day=29}}</ref>

Its confirmed production run numbers a mere 300 specimens: 204 were available at BotCon '94, an additional 48 were given official release the following January at the 1995 Florida Extravaganza Collectibles Show, and the rest initially remained in Hasbro's possession and over the years have probably made their way into private collections. Originally, Hasbro had planned to mass-release a complete set of ''Generation 2'' Stunticons, but ultimately only Breakdown saw official release in any form. The "collect them all!" [[cross-sell]] on the back of the packaging featuring the other Stunticons was covered by a BotCon 1994 sticker.

He uses the "Sideswipe" robot mode with the hood-chest. His pistol can be mounted in either of the holes on his shoulders, as well as combined with the removable engine assembly to form a beefier-looking weapon.

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

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Breakdown is a new-mold figure which transforms from a supercar resembling a Lamborghini Diablo crossed with a Kode 0 to robot and back. As a ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe, he is able to form a limb for any ''Combiner Wars''-style Voyager figure but is, of course, intended to be combined with [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]], [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Drag Strip]], [[Dead End (G1)#Combiner Wars|Dead End]], [[Offroad (CW)#Toys|Offroad]], and [[Blackjack (G1)#Generations|Blackjack]] to create [[Menasor (G1)#Generations|Menasor]]. He is also officially associated with [[Galvatronus (CW)#Toys|Galvatronus]].

:The limb piece can connect on the vehicle mode's top in two different ways: either by using the 5mm peghole arrangement most of the other Stunticons use, or through a system of tabs which incorporate the weapon closer to the vehicle, evoking the custom engines [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] had [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|''for some reason'']]. The limb piece can also be stored on the robot's back, a feature also shown in the figure's [[package art]], also evoking the custom engines Sunstreaker had [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Unite Warriors|''for some reason'']] (this can either be achieved by using the 5 mm peg, or by folding back the limb piece's palm and thumb, and using the guide-rails located on the sides of the limb piece). Breakdown's sword/gun can tab into either of the slots on the car mode's sides.

:Strangely, unlike the other Stunticons, Breakdown's limb piece is not molded in purple plastic, but instead molded in black and painted a more blue-ish shade of purple, causing it to stand out among the other Stunticon hands and feet.

:The ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' release of Breakdown is sold in a [[Menasor (G1)#Unite Warriors|Menasor]] gift set that includes the five original "Stuntrons". He has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon. Oddly, the Takara version of Breakdown substitutes his regular hand/foot weapon for one identical to Drag Strip's. Whilst this means that the hands and feet can be symmetrical in combined mode (with two of the Drag Strip type and two of the Dead End type), this does mean that it doesn't clip onto his car roof like the original did, nor can it slide into the specially-molded groove in the back of his robot mode.

==Notes==
[[File:G2Breakdown toy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|So what if he can't transform? He doesn't have to link up to that jerk Motormaster ever again!]]
*An ''unofficial'' [[Action Master]] ''Generation 2'' Breakdown was an exclusive at [[BotCon 2004]], created from bootlegged Action Master [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] parts. Though this wiki does not normally list unofficial items, this one is put here simply to reinforce that even though it is a [[BotCon]] toy, it was from the one year that BotCon was unofficial, and the toy is not [[Hasbro]]-approved either. Thank you, won't we?
*Despite popular belief, Breakdown's eyes in the Generation 1 cartoon are ''purple,'' not yellow. However, the shade of lavender used for said eyes causes an optical illusion when placed next to the dark red of his face, making them look yellow. This misconception has since gone on to influence practically ''every single future version'' of the character ever, including all of his fictional appearances, official illustrations, and toy releases.
*In the ''[[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers Decepticons]]'' game based on the [[Transformers (film)|2007 movie]], an unlocked alternate mode called "Scout" is a [[homage]] to Breakdown.
*''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Runamuck (ROTF)|Runamuck]]'s vehicle mode deco homages Breakdown's Generation 1 form.
**Also, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Brakedown (ROTF)|Brakedown]] homages G1 Breakdown in form, color, ''and'' name.
*Breakdown's depiction in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers (IDW)|The Transformers]]'' comic is based upon ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]'s design sans roof. Since you can remove that mold's roof without tools, you can mistransform the Subscription Service figure mentioned above to match this portrayal.
*Breakdown is one of only two characters to have ''three'' BotCon exclusive toys, although one of them is the previously-mentioned unofficial bootleg. (The other one is [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]].)
*In ''Earth Wars'', in addition to sharing some elements in design & transformation with [[Jumpstream#Transformers: Earth Wars|Jumpstream]] & [[Sunstreaker_(G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Sunstreaker]] (the latter of whom is also Gunner class), Breakdown looks around in confusion after transforming from alternate to robot mode. This is likely a hint of his paranoia. Poor guy.

Slammer

Mamothcav32: /* War for Cybertron: Kingdom */

{{factions|autobot}}
:''Slammer is an [[Autobot]] [[drone]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Kingdom-Slammer-art.jpg|upright=2|thumb|''Hey! Yo! Look out down below!''{{-}}''Here he comes, Kingdom Slammer''{{-}}''War For Cybertron's hero!'']]
For a drone controlled by [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], '''Slammer''' does not do much. He is usually seen in the form of Metroplex's left rear tower, though he is rarely seen in tank form.

Sometimes, Slammer is a sentient Transformer armed with the power of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|C.O.M.B.A.T.]] technology.

==Fiction==
===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
Metroplex can maintain control of Slammer over a maximum range of 40 miles. Slammer's [[Mortar cannon|cannon]] shoots explosive rocket-propelled mortar shells with a range of 1.5 miles. {{storylink|The Transformers Universe|Metroplex's ''Universe'' profile}}

[[File:Slammer sixgun scamper.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Slammer at left, with his alliterative domestic partners]]
Slammer was often seen when [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] looked like Metroplex's city mode, which was usually right before or after Metroplex transformed. When in tank mode, Slammer was accompanied by his partners [[Scamper]] and [[Six-Gun]].

Slammer appeared alongside Scamper and Six-Gun when the latter interrogated the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] and [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] over the recent theft of famous monuments. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

Later, Slammer and Scamper responded to [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle's]] intrusion of Metroplex, but were disabled when the [[Decepticon]] blew a hole in the floor, causing them to crash. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

====''Legends'' comic====
When Metroplex was rebuilt in a new body, Slammer was incorporated as a stationary cannon normally hidden inside his right arm. Metroplex used his firepower to defeat [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]], then took him with him to the [[Legends World]] where Slammer and his other components assured him they'd always be together. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Metroplex)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}

Closer than ever to reaching the [[AllSpark]], the Autobots awakened after crash-landing on pre-Ice Age Earth. While battling the Decepticons, both sides were joined by the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, their epic battle changing their combined destinies.

Slammer's function was a combat drone, and he [[trans-scan]]ned into a tank/tower. His [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizer]] ability and heavy artillery were his powers and weapons, and his core traits were being obedient, passive, and formidable. Slammer's message from the future was that he is part [[Six-Gun|of]] [[Scamper|something]] [[Metroplex (G1)|larger]]. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' webpage}}<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/kingdom ''Kingdom'' webpage]</ref>

Enigma of Combination

2022-11-03T18:58:52Z

Mamothcav32: /* Combiner Wars */

{{faction|nexusprime}}
[[File:Galaxies Enigma of Combination.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"A riddle, wrapped in a mystery..."]]

The '''Enigma of Combination''' is one of the [[Artifacts of the Primes|artifacts]] of the [[Thirteen]]. Possessed by [[Nexus Prime]], it is not only capable of fostering unity and cooperation of the minds of sentient creatures in its proximity, but also of bestowing one of the greatest abilities known to [[Transformer|Cybertronians]]—that of [[combiner|combination]]. This ancient tool can instantaneously merge any Cybertronians together into a combiner, enhance the power and mental stability of pre-existing combiners, or integrate new components into pre-existing combiner teams.

{{quote|They say that the Enigma was made for Nexus Prime. And they say that his purpose—its purpose—the intent that prompted Primus to bring him and it into being... was to inject some fragment of change, of unpredictability, of chaos, into a world that otherwise would be forever ordered.|[[Termagax]]|[[Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic]]}}

==Fiction==
===Aligned continuity family===
====''The Covenant of Primus''====
In ancient times, Nexus Prime wielded the Enigma of Combination, which contained a fraction of his own combinational powers. Much like its owner, the Enigma frequently changed size and shape, making it impossible to predict or keep track of. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

===Generation 1 continuity family===
====2005 IDW continuity====
[[File:RID34 enigma of combination.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Hey! Listen!]]
The Enigma of Combination was created by [[Solus Prime]], sometime before the unification of the Thirteen. {{storylink|Transformers: Historia|Historia}} {{storylink|The Nothing Man}} [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] would come to regard the Enigma, and the other [[Artifacts of the Primes]], as "metaphors made real;" {{storylink|Conquerors Part 1: Aphelion|Aphelion}} by channeling a primal force of the universe. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}} For reasons unknown, [[Nexus Prime]] chose to conceal the artifact's physical nature, with even his closest allies believing the "enigma" in question was a puzzle whose solution allowed for [[Combiner|combination]]. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

During the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]], Nexus Prime and his [[Thirteen Tribes|tribe]] allied with [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]], and the pair used the Enigma to create the first [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] by combining humanoid Transformers with Onyx's [[Maximal|bestial followers]]. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}} The [[Darklands|Darklander]] warrior [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] was of the opinion that Onyx only tolerated Nexus due to the fact that the latter owned the Enigma; {{storylink|The Crucible}} sickened by the "abominations" that the Enigma produced, Galvatron waged a bloody crusade in the name of Cybertronian "purity" and slaughtered the Headmasters to the last 'bot {{storylink|Earthfall Part 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}} before killing Nexus and taking the Enigma. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

[[File:TheCrucible-TheDawnOfMan.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Not shown: Gregorian choir.]]

In the age that followed, Galvatron would partner with [[Nova Prime]], who, to accomplish his dream of an interstellar "[[expansion]]," sought to use combiners as a weapon of conquest. {{storylink|Primus: All Good Things|All Good Things}} Galvatron lied and claimed that Nexus had fled the planet and took the Enigma with him. Alpha Trion could detect the falsehood in Galvatron's words — none had ever known whether or not the Enigma was anything more than a ''concept'', but Galvatron clearly knew it to be a physical object. Realizing that he had accidentally tipped his hand, Galvatron shot the Enigma into space to put it beyond anyone's reach, {{storylink|The Crucible}} hoping that the Enigma would crash and burn up in a distant star. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}}

While stories of the Enigma's capabilities survived into the modern era of Cybertron, most Cybertronians dismissed the artifact as a myth. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Two: Vs.|Vs.}} Different groups of Transformers would infrequently attempt to recreate the "lost art" of combination, but what few successful combiners they produced were brutish and imperfect. {{storylink|Primus: All Good Things|All Good Things}} {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} {{storylink|The Crucible}}

After drifting in space for millennia, the Enigma fell to [[Earth]] seven to eight million years ago in the region that would one day become {{w|Mesopotamia}}. {{storylink|The Crucible}} {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Three: ONoffON|ONoffON}}

Eventually, Onyx Prime — who had fled Cybertron at the conclusion of the First Cybertronian Civil War — became aware that the Enigma still existed in the universe and sent [[Domitius Major]] and the crew of the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' to find and retrieve it for him though this may have been a ruse so that the ''Axalon'' crew could play their role in the ontological paradox that the younger Shockwave had set in motion. {{storylink|Strange Visitors}} {{storylink|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook issue 1|Centurion profile}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} {{storylink|Our Finest}}

When the ''Axalon'' failed to return, Onyx sent another one of his servants to Earth in the form of the [[Titan Master]] [[Sovereign]]. Disguised as a human and extensively conditioned with false memories, Sovereign — who would come to take up the identity of "[[G.B. Blackrock|Garrison Blackrock]]," — was sent to find the Enigma and summon his master when he did so. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 3: Helden|Helden}}

[[File:OnOffOn-EnigmaOfCombination.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]

It is unknown how long Sovereign was active on Earth for; as "Blackrock," he claimed that the Enigma was first discovered by primitive humans some six thousand years ago at the intersection of the {{w|Tigris}} and {{w|Euphrates}} rivers. Its energies supposedly "combined" the thoughts and ideas of these early tribes, and the ancient warrior [[Gilgamesh]] would raise the city of [[Uruk]] to protect it. According to Blackrock, Gilgamesh passed the artifact to his children, and, over the centuries, this lineage—from which Blackrock supposedly took his surname — would use the Enigma to unite great minds in times of need, leading to breakthroughs such as the atomic bomb and the [[internet]]. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Three: ONoffON|ONoffON}} Owing to Sovereign's jumbled state of mind, the veracity of these statements are unclear. {{storylink|The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)|The Dead Come Home, Part 1}}

What is known is that, sometime prior to 2012, Blackrock came into possession of the Enigma while scouring the earth for Cybertronian artifacts. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Three: ONoffON|ONoffON}} Unaware of his "Sovereign" persona and the original reason why he had been sent to Earth, {{storylink|Conquerors Part 3: Helden|Helden}} Blackrock deduced that the artifact was of Cybertronian origin and used it to jumpstart the lucrative [[Onyx]] corporation, tapping its quantum source code to develop miraculous new breakthroughs in interlinked software and robotics. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part One: Signals, Calls, and Marches|Signals, Calls and Marches}} {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Three: ONoffON|ONoffON}} Over the next three years, Blackrock would use it to engineer his army of reverse-engineered [[Seeker clone]]s into combiners, {{storylink|The Nothing Man}} translate the Cybertronian language, {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} and eventually develop the cutting-edge [[Onyx Interface]]: an all-encompassing software suite that connected every piece of Onyx tech to each other through the Enigma source code.{{storylink|Onyx Interface Part One: Signals, Calls, and Marches|Signals, Calls and Marches}}

Ex-[[Skywatch]] agent [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Spike Witwicky]] became aware of Blackrock's possession of the Enigma; hoping that the relic would provide a clue as to ''why'' the Transformers had constantly interfered with Earth's development, he planned to steal it from the [[Wanmu]] warehouse where Blackrock stored his extraterrestrial curios. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Two: Vs.|Vs.}}

Around 2012, Alpha Trion deduced the location of the Engima and set out to Earth to retrieve it. He left his travelling companion [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] in the care of the Camien [[cityspeaker]] [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and cryptically informed her and her friends that he was hunting for "the holy grail". {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}}

[[File:TheObliterati-mine.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"This mailbox is..."]]
After rescuing Trion from [[Earth Defense Command|EDC]] custody, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] learned of the Enigma's existence from Alpha Trion and ordered his lieutenant [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] to search for it while he returned to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Crucible}} Both Prowl and Galvatron — now leader of the [[Decepticon]]s — realized that Spike likely had some information about the Enigma's whereabouts, and both attempted to hunt him down. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Two: Vs.|Vs.}} Galvatron managed to convince his sibling [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] to temporarily put aside their differences so that they could destroy the Enigma once and for all, but Prowl and the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s allied with Spike and beat them to the punch, using [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] to attack the Onyx facility. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Three: ONoffON|ONoffON}}

Despite Blackrock's best efforts to put the Enigma beyond his reach, Devastator easily captured the artifact but quickly went berserk at the sight of Spike. As he went berserk, Galvatron's forces arrived to try and seize the Enigma, and an enraged Devastator hurled the Enigma at Arcee in fury. In the chaos, Galvatron's underling [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] — in reality, a secret mole for Cybertron's leader [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] — absconded with the Enigma and flew off to deliver the artifact to his boss, {{storylink|The Onyx Interface Conclusion: The Obliterati|The Obliterati}} who was hoping to obtain a combiner of his own. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}} Galvatron grimly predicted that this would soon mean the end of Cybertronian society. {{storylink|The Onyx Interface Conclusion: The Obliterati|The Obliterati}}

Having recovered the comatose body of [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], Starscream recruited [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] to use the Enigma to rebuild the combiner, drafting [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] and [[Alpha Bravo]] to serve replacement team members. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}} As first contact with the Cybertronian colony world of [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]] approached, Starscream devised a plan to win the adoration of the Camiens by first using the Enigma to recreate [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] as an out-of-control monster; when [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and Menasor attacked Caminus, the [[Caminus (Titan)|eponymous Titan]] detected the Enigma's energy within the rogue combiner and tried to alert his [[cityspeaker]]s, but they were unable to properly interpret his warnings before Superion arrived to save the day. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}}

[[File:AnUneventfulNight-zap.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
Starscream used the Enigma to reinvigorate the Aerialbots after Devastator began attacking Caminus's spacebridge, but after realizing that Superion couldn't do it alone, he used the Enigma on a group of bystanders to create [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}} With Devastator defeated, Starscream sought to turn Devastator's power to his advantage and did so by using the Enigma on Scoop, turning him into a new leg for Devastator while ensuring that his devotion to the "Chosen One" meant that Devastator would obey Starscream's orders. Shortly afterwards, [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], acting on Prowl's orders, was able to steal the Enigma and deliver it to the captive Autobot, who used it on himself, Optimus, and some other Autobots to create [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]]. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}}

At the conclusion of the "[[Combiner Wars (event)|Combiner War]]", the newly formed [[Council of Worlds]] put the Enigma under [[Badgeless]] security so that nobody could abuse its power. Not long afterwards, however, Arcee stole it with the intent to destroy it: she wanted to be ensure that Starscream didn't turn people into combiners against their will. [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] gave chase into the [[Rust Sea]]. The Camien [[Torchbearer]]s, who saw destroying a Primal relic as blasphemy, intervened to help Windblade and became a combiner, [[Victorion]], themselves! Eventually Windblade managed to convince Arcee to return the relic, so as to make sure Starscream had no excuse for military action. {{storylink|An Uneventful Night}}

[[File:TheNothingMan-EnigmaCode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"Ones and zeros everywhere! And I thought I saw a two!"]]

While courting the favor of the five [[Titan (group)|Titan]] colonies, Starscream used the Enigma as a means to convince the inhabitants of planet [[Devisiun (planet)|Devisiun]], the colony of Nexus, to join the Council of Worlds. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}}

On Earth, the Autobots aboard the ''Ark-7'' began investigating the source code behind the Onyx operating system; they discovered that every device utilized a highly adaptable code that could "correct" itself and instantaneously pass those changes along to every other Onyx device on Earth. Blackrock himself was aware of this property, and discovered that he could use the data on his Onyx systems to effectively see into the "souls" of every human on Earth... but received his first hint that he himself was not human when he discovered that he couldn't see his ''own'' soul. Blackrock was able to use the Onyx source code to take control of the ''[[Ark-7]]'' after the Autobots brought one of his devices onto their ship, and granted him the ability to shut down most of the ship's systems. {{storylink|The Nothing Man}}

[[File:ItsBeginningToAndBackAgain-EarthEnigma.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|If you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it.]]

By the time that Blackrock had been fully unmasked as a Cybertronian imposter, Optimus Prime led a team to storm Galvatron's [[Nemesis (G1)|underwater base]] and Galvatron revealed the full extent of the Enigma's power. With billions of interlinked Onyx devices scattered across Earth, their combined power created a gigantic Enigma of Combination, and a force that that Galvatron could control to his own benefit. He did just that, first breaking Victorion apart and then mish-mashing some of the combatants together to create [[Galvatronus (CW)|Galvatronus]] and [[Sky Reign]]. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}}

The power of the Enigma was resisted by Superion, who hadn't been created through its energies, and he ultimately found a way to nullify its power. By hacking into the Onyx Interface, copying part of its workings into his neocortex, and splitting into the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s as he did so, he "erased" a vital part of the code, nullifying the power of the Earth-Enigma so long as he never reformed. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 5: As Above...So Below|As Above... So Below}}

Determined to discover the information that the brain-dead Swindle had on Starscream, [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] ordered Rattrap to bring him the Enigma so the Combaticons could see inside Swindle's mind, {{storylink|Things We Said We'd Never Do}} uniting the five into the destructive [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}} In the aftermath, [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] demanded that Starscream turn over the Enigma to him, noting it had wandered off too many times to cause mayhem. Starscream was hesitant about parting with his most powerful weapon but the conversation was interrupted before the two could continue. {{storylink|Ping}}

[[File:Ceremony SoundwaveUsesEnigma.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
When [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] arrived at Cybertron, a desperate [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] sought out the Enigma and proposed combining the entirety of Cybertron's population with their planet to fight off the Chaos Bringer. [[Jetfire (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jetfire]] overruled the idea however, noting that, even with the full might of the Enigma's mass-displacement abilities, the result would be too small to properly fight off their foe. {{storylink|Our Finest}}

When Cybertron was evacuated, {{storylink|Road's End}} Soundwave brought the Enigma with him to Earth. As part of the plan to defeat Unicron, Superion reformed, the Earth Enigma's energies surging throughout the planet once again, which Soundwave used in concert with the physical Enigma to make contact with the [[Transformer afterlife|Afterspark]]. Via [[Stardrive]], the spirits of the dead were psychically linked to Optimus Prime in [[infraspace]] allowing him to make peace with [[Unicron's creator]]. As a side-effect, the energies of the Enigmas had allowed for [[Victorion]]'s rebirth, with [[Slide]] functioning as the combiner's new leg. Yet the strain of the act had proven too much for both Soundwave and the physical Enigma, both turning to dust. {{storylink|Ceremony}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
When asked if the [[Infinite Combinatoric]] and the Enigma of Combination were connected, [[Vector Prime]] cryptically asked the questioner if there was "a connection between Jupiter and Odin and Ahura Mazda and Zeus and Marduk". {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime 16/7/2015}}

[[File:PWT_EnigmaOfCombination.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6]]
Created eons ago by [[Solus Prime]], the Enigma of Combination was responsible for the creation of many new Combiners on Cybertron during the later years of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], leading to the [[Combiner Wars (event)|Combiner Wars]] that followed. The [[Council of Worlds]] came into possession of the Enigma and considered using it to stem the conflict, either by creating more Combiners or destroying the existing ones. {{storylink|The Council}} [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] each learned of this and formed an alliance to stop the council's plans. {{storylink|The Fall}} {{storylink|The Duel}} {{storylink|Unforgotten}} As the council debated using the Enigma to control the Combiners, Optimus's team arrived and attacked, followed shortly thereafter by [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. {{storylink|Homecoming (CW)|Homecoming}} Devastator attempted to claim the Enigma for himself, battling the others and the newly arrived [[Victorion]] for it. With seemingly no choice left, the Council ordered Starscream to use the Enigma to take control of the combatants. {{storylink|A War of Giants}} Instead, he used it to merge himself with Devastator, Victorion, and the bodies of [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], becoming an unstable super-Combiner. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (CW)|Darkest Hour}} Upon Starscream's defeat, Megatron retrieved the Enigma and gave it to Windblade, who opted to leave it in Victorion's possession, claiming it rightfully belonged to the Combiners. {{storylink|Destruction's Dawn}}
[[File:AWarOfGiants Starscream plus combiners.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]

While leaving Metroplex City, Optimus received a vision of the Enigma of Combination from the [[Matrix of Leadership]], leaving him to ponder things to come. {{storylink|The Fight Begins}} To combat the attacking [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], [[Victorion]] used the Enigma to merge with Computron, Devastator and Menasor, becoming a super-Combiner. {{storylink|Desperate Actions}} Ultimately, they were forced to separate again after taking too much damage from Trypticon. {{storylink|In Good Hands}} Sensing the Enigma in her possession, Trypticon swallowed Victorion and absorbed the Enigma's power, giving him immense strength and new abilities, such as the power to control Combiners. {{storylink|Consumed}} When Trypticon attempted to do the same with the Matrix, it rejected him, forcing him to release it and everything else he had swallowed, including the Enigma. Before Victorion could reclaim it, however, [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] appeared and surrounded them with a barrier of flame. After killing Optimus, Megatronus took the Enigma and Matrix for his own and departed in search of the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]]. {{storylink|All Things Must Pass}}

As Megatron's group searched for the Blaster in [[Primal Swamp]], they ran afoul of [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], who demanded the Enigma from Victorion and attacked when she failed to produce it. {{storylink|Volcanicus (episode)|Volcanicus}} Believing it would help him survive the apocalypse, it took Megatron himself pointing the Requiem Blaster at his face to convince him Victorion didn't have it, though the former Decepticon leader promised they would inform him if they found it. {{storylink|Primal (POTP)|Primal}} Elsewhere, in the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of Sparks]], Megatronus installed the Enigma and the Matrix into an unknown device. {{storylink|Without Warning}} Megatron eventually realized that Megatronus's plan was to use the Enigma to merge the Matrix and the Blaster into a single all-powerful weapon. {{storylink|Consequences}} Returning to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of Sparks]], Megatronus installed the Blaster into his doomsday weapon and began siphoning the life force from every Transformer's spark. Perceptor attempted to remove the Enigma and the other relics, but his efforts proved unsuccessful as Solus Prime began to return. {{storylink|Collision Course}} A concentrated attack by [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]], [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and Windblade led to the Enigma and Blaster finally being released from the machine. Megatronus attempted to grab them, but was tackled by the heroes. {{storylink|Megatronus Unleashed}} Predaking arrived soon after, still seeking the Enigma, but was quickly and violently dispatched by Megatronus. In the battle's aftermath, Perceptor took possession of the Enigma, studying and protecting it in his lab. {{storylink|Saga's End}}

====2019 IDW Continuity====
One of the [[Artifacts of the Primes]], {{storylink|Light/Star}} the Enigma of Combination was said to be made for Nexus Prime, an extension of his Primus given function to introduce necessary chaos into Cybertronian society to bring about change and prevent stagnation. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}} When the Enigma came into proximity to a group of Cybertronians who were united in a purpose, it fostered their feelings of cooperation before allowing for physical [[Combiner|combination]]. In days long past, [[Terrorcon (G1)|a group of Cybertronians]] used the Enigma to turn themselves into a combiner. Lacking any unity or common goal however, [[Abominus (G1)|their combined form]] was an uncontrollable savage, governed only by the basest impulses of its components, rampaging across Cybertron before being felled at [[Rivets Field]].

Following the [[War of the Threefold Spark]], the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] discovered the Enigma buried beneath Rivets Field, [[Termagax]] suspecting it had been buried when the unstable combiner had been defeated, with the visionary pushing the six to become [[Devastator (G1)|a combiner]]. Years later, when the Constructicons had been exiled to [[Mayalx]], they reflected on their history with the Enigma, wondering if its code continued to influence their behaviour even now. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 1}} Subsequently, the Enigma was entrusted to Termagax's care. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}}

When the Constructicons were goaded by the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] to turn their combined form on Mayalx, [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] wondered if they could do so without the Enigma, only for [[Hook (G1)|Hook]] to point out that they'd only needed it the first time they combined, opining that all it had done was impart the code for combination onto them. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 4}}

After [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] conquered Iacon, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] attempted to barter information on the Enigma to the [[Decepticon leader]]. After Soundwave engaged in aggressive negotiations, {{storylink|War World: Awakenings|Awakenings}} Starscream revealed that the Enigma was in Termagax's care, Megatron dispatching the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] to find his [[mentor]]. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}} When word of the hunt eventually trickled down to the lower ranks, who drunkenly discussed it at [[Swindle]]'s, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] convinced Swindle to ensure word of the Enigma and the hunt reached Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Swindle's II|Swindle's II}}

Off in space, the amoral [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] and [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]] conspired to forge their own versions of the Artifacts of the Primes aboard the colony of [[Hexagon]]. The Enigma's powers were replicated by Airachid's [[Combination Core]] which fused [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattershot]] and his [[Technobot (G1)|team]] into [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. {{storylink|Light/Star}}

When a Seeker patrol and [[Landmine (G1)|Landmine]] both found Termagax, they respectively called in the [[Insecticon swarm]] and the Autobots to [[House (building)|House]] in the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]]. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}}

As fighting consumed the area, Termagax prepared to eject the Enigma away from anyone before [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] simply teleported into House and claimed the artifact. As he monologued about this victory, Jumpstream teleported in to steal it, leading to a teleport duel before the Enigma fell into [[Flywheels|Skytread]]'s hands. It was then that the landscape caved in, sending Skytread and the Enigma into the rust. Though Skytread was quickly devoured by the [[rust worm]]s, Termagax was confident that the Enigma had survived, with the Autobots worryingly noting that [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]], if she was still alive, was likely capable of retrieving it. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}}

===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===
The artifact of Nexus Prime, the Enigma of Combination was buried with its master when he passed. The artifact passed into legend, though records of its abilities were preserved in [[Witwiki]]. When [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] grave-robbed the Tomb of Nexus Prime, the Enigma was among the treasures they stole, only to be left in their shuttle when they returned to Cybertron to find it time locked by the [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]]. When Grimlock used the shuttle to evacuate himself and his newly formed [[Dinobot (Cyberverse)|Dinobots]], the vessel being shaken about activated the Enigma, which combined the five into [[Volcanicus (Cyberverse)|Volcanicus]]. {{storylink|The Immobilizers}}

:Class participants who finished creating their Ratchet toy in-class were given an exclusive Enigma of Combination accessory. As with the previous year's [[Covenant of Primus]], it was handcrafted by [[Myu]] who offered the accessory to class participants, but without any official Hasbro endorsements.

:This accessory can be held by any toy with 5mm ports; more interestingly, it can be used with the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations_toys#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' Optimus Prime]] toy, plugging into the combined form's chest plate. Naturally, this means that, if you so desire, you can give the Enigma to [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], or worse, [[Grand Scourge]]... but that would be ''evil'', and you'll have to spend the rest of your life living with the knowledge that you've disgraced the legacy of the Thirteen to achieve your own twisted, selfish ends.

==Notes==
*When listing a handful of the artifacts of the Primes, the novel ''[[Transformers: Exiles|Exiles]]'' mentions the [[Infinite Combinatoric]]. Given the abilities its name implies, this ''might'' have been an early name for the Enigma. It wouldn't be the only point of confusing discontinuity between artifacts in ''Exiles''.
*Some combiners created or enhanced by the Enigma display unusual powers: Superion was able to split his body apart at will and swap legs into arms almost instantaneously, while Defensor was able to detach entire limbs and use them as rocket-propelled projectiles.
*Blackrock mentions that the Enigma can tap into the "primal force" of the universe to alter the mass of any given target, providing a tongue-in-cheek explanation for why [[Scale#Combiner characters|combiners tend to be several times the size of their components]].

'''Walmart''' (previously spelled '''Wal-Mart''' until 2008) is one of the biggest discount department store chains in the United States, with branches in many other countries.

Over the years, they have carried a lot of [[exclusive]] ''Transformers'' [[toy]]s, in addition to the regular mass retail releases.

Walmart employees are also often accused of not really caring about what they sell in addition to a lax return policy, making Walmart one of the main victims of [[toy swapping]].

Walmart is also the parent company of [[Sam's Club]].

===[[Power Core Combiners]]===
*'''Power Core Combiners Special Value Offer'''

: After most stores had long gotten rid of ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' (and a few waves of product virtually never hit normal retail shelves), Walmart put out these bonus packs of a 5-piece combiner team with a two-pack taped to the side... all for the whopping price of ''ten dollars''. '''''TEN DOLLARS.''''' These were placed mostly on pallets pretty much wherever there was room in the aisle. There does not appear to be any particular order to who got packed with what, but reported combinations include:

**God dammit. We're totally the new [[Star Trek|Trekkies]], aren't we?

Grimlock (G1)/toys

2022-10-17T17:01:41Z

Mamothcav32: /* Titans Return */

{{suite}}
[[File:G1 Grimlock boxart.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Me Grimlock have been shaking fists at uptight paleontologists since 1985.]]
Me [[Grimlock (G1)|'''Grimlock''']] have lots of toys and merchandise!
{{picsneeded|silver G2 toy, Decoy, Myclone}}

==Toys==
===''The Transformers''===
[[File:G1Grimlock toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|And the debate goes on: "Me Grimlock am greatest warrior!" "No! Me Grimlock am greatest warrior!"]]
*'''Grimlock''' (Dinobot, [[1985]]/[[1986]]/[[1990]])
**''Takara ID number:'' '''26'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Energo weapon|energo sword]], "stunner" lasers, [[galaxial rocket launcher]], 3 [[Missile|rocket]]s
{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: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.

{{-}}{{anchor|Pretender}}
[[File:G1-toy GrimlockPretender.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Me Grimlock have fleshy bits!]]
*'''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.

: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.

* '''Grimlock''' (2005)
**''Alternator ID number:'' '''9'''
**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-10'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun, energo-sword

: 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)}}

: ''[[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 being too small in relation to the peg-hole, making it impossible to lock the arms into place. The black shoulder flaps above are apparently meant to tab into these and lock the whole thing together, but the flaps are remarkably out of alignment and the tabs themselves are too short to even reach the slots. In addition, the bayonet blaster has a hair-trigger and for no apparent reason, 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)}}

: 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.

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.

Like all of the Battle Changers, Grimlock uses a new hip piece using larger balljoints than the normal Kreons. He also comes with a weapon that, once stickers are applied, resembles the sword used by ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], and can be wielded by his C-joint hands.

:All of the 2015 ''Transformers [[Kre-O]]'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set.

* '''Electronic Grimlock''' (Electronic Action, 2014)
**''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.

*'''Dinobots''' (Platinum Edition 5-pack, 2015)
**''Accessories'': Two-piece spiked maul

: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). 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.

*'''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.

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Titan Master]]s, Clobber is a retool of [[Squeezeplay (G1)#Generations|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).

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

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' "Dinobot Grimlock" transforms into a very Generation 1-inspired, wide-hipped robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. He can combine with his fellow Dinobots to form [[Volcanicus (POTP)#Toys|Volcanicus]] and can attach any ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style Deluxe Class figure. 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.

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

{{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.

: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.

: A [[HasCon 2017]] exclusive, this trading card was released as part of the "2017 ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' HasCon Collection" three-card promo set, alongside "[[Nerf]] War" and "Sword of Dungeons & Dragons" cards. The card is reversible, depicting Grimlock in robot mode on one side ("Dinobot Leader") and his alternate mode on the other ("Ferocious King"), with each side having different stats and abilities. Each side of the card's flavor text features a different Grimlock quote: one from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', and one from "[[Grimlock's New Brain]]". The card bears a silver border, indicating it is illegal to use in official ''Magic'' tournament play. Notably, unlike many similar cards, Grimlock doesn't "transform" to its other face, and instead is worded to "become" it, probably due for the sake of [[trademark]].

==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.

'''Scavenger''' loves to smash stuff, and he's quite good at it. Falling under the command of [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]], Scavenger exists for a single purpose—destruction. It doesn't matter if it's a building or a [[Maximal]], he'll roll right through it, relying on his heavy armor to protect himself. Anything he can't knock over, run over, tear apart with his clawed hands, or crush in his crane-mode jaws, he attacks using electric currents produced from the [[galva-conductor]]s on his back. Or blasts with missiles. Or perforates with cannon fire. Or all three. At once. In the FACE.<ref>''Beast Machines'' Scavenger toy bio</ref>

Sometimes he is a single individual, and sometimes he comes in droves.

A number of the Scavenger drones were destroyed by the Wreckers in the ensuing close-quarters melee. Those that weren't wrecked by the Wreckers ended up caught in the blast that consumed the facility as the shuttle launched. {{storylink|Departure}}

===The Razor's Edge===
In the days leading up to the [[Pax Cybertronia]], [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]] (disguised as the original [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]) manufactured a large number of Scavenger drones on the conquered planet of [[Nibari]]. She attempted to use them against three Maximals and a local insurgents' army. However, the insurgents had rewired the drones to obey their commands, and they quickly overpowered and defeated Flamewar.

After the Maximals' departure, the native Nibarians planned to convert the drones to tools of construction and repair. {{storylink|The Razor's Edge}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
Scavenger was a member of the [[Kospego (group)|Kospegos]], serving as muscle for [[Thunderhoof (BWU)|Thunderhoof]] along with [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]]. Unfortunately for Thunderhoof, they got a better offer from [[Megatron (BW)|Gnashteeth]]. Once their new boss disposed of the old boss, the remaining Kospegos became known as the [[Darksyder]]s, and Scavenger served under the renamed Megatron. {{storylink|Identity Politics}}

Scavenger and fellow Predacon [[Immorticon (BW)|Immorticon]] joined with the kindred malcontent Maximals [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] and [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]] to escape their dystopian Cybertron. They activated an experimental [[unspace|transwarp]] device, but found themselves in [[Axiom Nexus]] instead. After processing, they were placed in the care of [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]]. He convinced him that the [[Transcendent Technomorph]]s who ruled the city were little different from the [[Builder of Cybertron|Builder]]s under whose yoke they had chafed. Under the direction of Alpha Trion, his agent [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]] transferred Scavenger's spark from his Lowtech body into that of his Transcendent Technomorph [[Scavenger (TransTech)|counterpart]], with the authorities of Axiom Nexus none the wiser. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 25|"TransTech" Blackarachnia's profile in Club magazine #25}}

Scavenger joined in the raid on [[Shockwave (TransTech)|Shockwave]]'s laboratory in the hopes of rescuing [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]]. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 5}} Scavenger and his comrades successfully stormed into Shockwave's inner sanctum, where they came face-to-face with the formidable [[Megatron (TransTech)|Megatron]]. Though his fellow conspirator Immorticon was destroyed by Megatron, Scavenger managed to escape off-world. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 6}}

Upon arrival in Alpha Trion's home universe, Scavenger stood idle while the rest of Alpha Trion's loyalists began securing equipment for travel, as their materialization had surely been detected by one faction or another. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 1}}

*'''Scavenger''' (Basic, 2000)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' Basics, Scavenger transforms into a Cybertronic treaded ''de''struction vehicle. A plunger mechanism on the back of the "shovel" opens and closes the vehicle's crusher jaw. Its [[spark crystal]] is located in the "control tower" behind a flip-down panel.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Scavenger (RID 2001)|Scavenger]].

==Notes==
[[File:ScavengerBMconcept.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|At least I don't have [[Cobybot|a bunch of alternate heads]] lying around.]]
* Although the early ''Beast Machines'' concept art for Scavenger is very similar to the final product, his original color layout implies a lot more paint applications in his crane-neck area.
* Scavenger had the preliminary name of '''Destructicon'''.<ref>''ToyFare'' Magazine's ''Beast Machines'' sneak-peek booklet</ref>''
* From what can be inferred by his original toy bio and all of his ''Beast Machines''-related fictional appearances, Scavenger seems to be the only Vehicon who ''isn't'' a general.
* His vehicle mode is based on some of [[hive (G1)|the hive's]] machines from [[The_Transformers_(cartoon)#season%204|the rebirth]].

Lots of games involve Movie Bumblebee!

=="Flight of the Bumblebee" online game==
At some point in time Bumblebee was trapped in a canyon with several Decepticons, among them Brawl, Barricade, Wreckage, and Scorponok. He valiantly fought through them all to make it to the other side. He did it without even bending a fender. If he succeeded, his victory earned him a place in Autobot history! If he failed however, the Decepticons would gather to celebrate his defeat! {{storylink|Flight of the Bumblebee|Flight of the Bumblebee}}

==Transformers: Rise of the Chevy Autobots==
Bumblebee and his partner [[Sphinx]] were sent to [[Earth]] to recover the AllSpark. They were meant to meet up with fellow Autobots [[Flash (Movie)|Flash]] and [[Ridge]], but only found the Decepticons waiting for them at the rendezvous point. Though Bumblebee escaped the ambush, he had to watch on as Sphinx's spark was drained out of his body by the enemy. In order to turn the tides against the Decepticons, Bumblebee sought out other agents to help him out; [[Chevy Autobot]]s. He acted as field director for the Chevy Autobots in their subsequent struggles against [[Mainframe (Movie)|Mainframe]], sending them frequent updates on the situation at hand, and thanking the recruits who contributed most to the cause. At some point, Bumblebee let his guard down and the Decepticons took advantage by taking out an Autobot communications hub. He apologized for his lapse. Bumblebee later discovered that Sphinx was still alive; Autobot communications picked up a signal containing a message from Bumblebee's friend. Enraged, Bumblebee swore to make the Decepticon keeping him captive pay. Bumblebee then stumbled upon a report from the human [[Dina Morgan]] mentioning "Energon." Intrigued that a human would have knowledge of the substance, Bumblebee investigated Sector 42-83, her last known location. Upon his arrival, he only found a blazing ruin. Frustrated once more, Bumblebee returned to Sector 32-113 to help more newly arrived Autobots train for the mission at hand.

The Decepticons soon began to fight in the open, and Bumblebee dispatched his trainees to the field to face off against the numerous types of enemy drones. The identity of the Decepticon leader then reached Bumblebee; [[Mainframe (Movie)|Mainframe]]. Taking an offensive strategy against the Decepticon, Bumblebee posted false information on the web about possible locations of the AllSpark, hoping to lure Mainframe and his drones out of hiding. His recruits would then ambush the Decepticons at the strategically chosen locations. "Dina Morgan" then came into contact with Bumblebee, who traced her signal to her location. Though Bumblebee highly suspected the message was a Decepticon trap, he felt it was his duty to try and protect the human anyways. Sure enough, Decepticon Drones were waiting for him at the traced location. Bumblebee was nonetheless unphazed by the turn of events, and goaded Mainframe into a confrontation.

Bumblebee lost his battle against mainframe, and his Spark was absorbed the the Decepticon. However, he and the other captured Autobots' essence remained intact within Mainframe for a time, and made attempts to contact the rest of the Autobot forces. Thanks in part to the information the Autobots were able to leak from within Mainframe, the Autobots managed to defeat him and his forces. Bumblebee was freed from within the evil robot, along with Flash, Ridge and Sphinx. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Chevy Autobots}}

==''Sector Seven'' game==
[[File:Beagle rover destroyer.jpg|left|thumb|Not a Decepticon....[[Movie Prequel issue 3|really......]]]]
In 2003, Bumblebee arrived on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] where he destroyed the [[Beagle 2 Rover]]. To control leaks of the footage beamed back to Earth from the Rover, Sector Seven enacted "Hungry Dragon 2", this time choosing the especially visible medium of a live-action feature film and ancillary media.

Events reached a flashpoint on April 23, when Bumblebee touched down on Earth, arriving in response to [[Rebecca Howard|Howard]]'s signal. {{storylink|Sector Seven (game)}}

==''Transformers'' (Glu)==

When Optimus Prime was separated from the rest of the Autobots, Bumblebee contacted a human ally through their cell phone. By remotely altering the device with Cybertronian technology, Bumblebee enabled his ally to assist the damaged Prime in battling the Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers (Glu)}}

==''Transformers: The Game'' (console)==
===Autobot campaign===
[[File:TransformersTheGame wallpaper BumblebeeVsBarricade.jpg|left|300px|thumb|"All this artillery on your body and you go for a ''punch''?!?"]]

Bumblebee landed in Tranquility while being briefed by Optimus Prime on his mission to find clues on the AllSpark. While on Earth, he took the form of a beat-up 1976 Chevrolet Camaro in possibly a dump or a demolitions bay. Some Decepticon drones were also in Tranquility at a nearby construction site, so Bumblebee confronted and destroyed the drones before any civilian casualties could ensue.<ref>Even though in the game, you actually can't step on or run over civilians.</ref> Prime detected a Cybertronian code matching that on an artifact owned by a boy named Sam Witwicky, who was reported to be buying a car at Bobby Bolivia's. Unfortunately, some more drones heard of Prime's report, so Bumblebee had to get involved in a high-speed car chase and defeat the drones.

With Sam buying the Camaro-ed Bumblebee, the first phase of finding the AllSpark was complete. The next day, Prime warned Bumblebee that the Decepticon named Barricade was also on Earth and threatening to take Sam and his new female friend, Mikaela. So the Autobot had to incapacitate the arm-spinning, spike-punching, tantrum-throwing Decepticon while the humans escaped. Now that Bumblebee knew of the Decepticons' growing involvement in finding the AllSpark's location, he obviously needed help. The only problem now with the Autobots' landing was their radar systems. The Decepticons had hacked radio towers throughout Tranquility to mess up any aircraft radar. Naturally, Bumblebee went to the scene and destroyed the towers. With the Autobots having landed, it was time to find the AllSpark.

Optimus Prime explained to Sam and Mikaela about the AllSpark, the importance of the glasses, and Humanity's fate. Before moving on the matter at hand, Mikaela questioned Bumblebee's alt-mode being such a beater. The mildly insulted Autobot then copied a more current version of the Camaro (2009 Concept). Later, a government group called Sector Seven went after the Autobots with their helicopters and cars. After Jazz's successful distraction, Sector Seven then switched their sights to Bumblebee, who got captured, but then got away with the efforts of Prime.

Sector Seven sent Bumblebee to Hoover Dam. The Autobot immediately saw the AllSpark and a frozen Megatron. After a mysterious blackout, Bumblebee got free and started to shut down the power faster by ripping out the mainframe, blowing up the cooling fans, and removing nuclear canisters from their generators. The AllSpark was his, but he had to wait for it to shrink while fending off Sector Seven troops, a lot of Energon drones, and a defrosting Megatron. (Oy!) Eventually, Sam and Mikaela got to the dam and fled with Bumblebee to Mission City before Megatron could get his huge, pointy clutches near the cube.

The Autobots' first priority was then keeping the cube from Megatron. Unfortunately for Bumblebee, he crashed into a building due to interference from energon drones generated by the cube's radiation. Ironhide came in and helped. While the rest of the Autobots fought the Decepticons, Bumblebee had one final showdown with Barricade. After a lot of punches, blasts, and car chases, Barricade finally went down for good. Megatron then went to the scene and incapacitated the wounded Autobot with one shot from his fusion cannon. Bumblebee urged the two humans to take the cube to Optimus for he could not go on any longer.

After the battle was won by the Autobots, Bumblebee struck a pose with the other remaining four as they listened in on Prime's final speech. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}
===Decepticon campaign===
After Barricade finally came across Sam in Tranquility, the loyal Bumblebee arrived on the scene to protect the human, ensuing a fight. The battle, later resorted to a chase, ended up a [[Bay Demolition|Bay's Demolition]], which just so happened to be swarming with Autobot drones. However, Barricade conquered the situation and killed Bumblebee before swiping the glasses from Sam and continuing his mission. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

==''Transformers: The Game'' (PSP)==
The Autobot scout, Bumblebee was the first of his kind to arrive on Earth, discovering the link between the Witwicky family and the AllSpark. After saving Sam and Mikaela from Barricade, Bumblebee summoned the other Autobots to Earth. Subsequent events are unclear but Bumblebee was captured by Sector Seven and taken to the [[Hoover Dam]], near the AllSpark. Though Bumblebee broadcasted a distress beacon to the other Autobots, he managed to free himself from the humans and claimed the AllSpark as the Decepticons were distracted healing Megatron. Driving away from the Dam and in the direction of [[Center City]], Bumblebee was guarded by the other Autobots against the horde of Decepticon [[drone]]s. When Bumblebee reached the city limits however, Megatron made a forceful landing atop the scout, killing him and claiming the AllSpark. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

==''Transformers: Autobots''==
Bumblebee arrived in Tranquility to meet up with [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-A-Bot]], and after a short discussion created from radio sound clips, instructed Create-a-Bot to scan a number of vehicles, the last of which was a Decepticon. After a short battle, Bumblebee then used Create-a-Bot's mad h4x0r skills to break into the internet and find the location of [[Archibald Witwicky]]'s glasses, which turned out to be conveniently in Tranquility. Going to retrieve them, Bumblebee arrived at the Witwicky house to find [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], who then blew up a car and ran, blaming the explosion on the yellow car now chasing him down the highway. Meeting on a bridge, they fought. Once Bumblebee won, Barricade once again ran.

Later, Bumblebee received a mission to destroy several [[Sector Seven]] turrets designed to shoot down the reported [[Non-Biological Extraterrestrial|N.B.E.s]] seen around the city. Afterward, he served as a distraction, driving to various markers to fight off the police while the other Autobots did their thing. Once that task was completed, he found that Create-A-Bot had disobeyed orders, and secretly helped him, but ended up luring Sector Seven to them. Deciding that it would be better to protect Create-A-Bot, Bumblebee took on Sector Seven, and got himself captured, being taken to Hoover Dam, where his weapon chip would be removed. After being rescued by Create-A-Bot, Bumblebee was given the coordinates of his weapon chip, and, after fighting off some freed Decepticon prisoners and avoiding Sector Seven he found his weapon chip, and searched the base for the AllSpark, finding it in the deepest part of the dam. Upon being discovered, the AllSpark turned the site's computers into mechanical scorpions...to defend itself. From the good guys. After retrieving the AllSpark, Bumblebee had to escape in under 30 seconds to avoid getting locked in. After a quick getaway, he met with Optimus. The two then drove up the highway, with Optimus helping Bumblebee with Sector Seven road blocks, the encountered a drone and Barricade were waiting for them. After Barrricade demanded the Allspark, a two-on-two battle broke out, in which Prime helped Bumblebee against Barricade and the drone. After this Prime ordered Bumblebee to take the Allspark and rendevous with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]].

After arriving back in Tranquility, Bumblebee was hounded by [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] with Bumblebee reaching several markers to give himself nine seconds headstart against Blackout. After reaching Ratchet, Ratchet held off Blackout for him. Afterwards Create-A-Bot helped Bumblebee deliver the Allspark to Optimus, be preventing him from from being [[Blastification|blasted]] into [[Slag (slang)|slag]]. After Megatron grabbed the Allspark Optimus ordered Create-A-bot to stay behind with Bumblebee, but given Create-A-Bot's involvement in the final battle, it's evident Bumblebee let him go to help Prime. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

==''Transformers: Decepticons''==
After sending troops to slow down Barricade and the Decepticon [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Create-A-Bot]], Bumblebee showed up in person to take care of business himself, serving as little more than a distraction. After running away, Bumblebee later acquired the AllSpark, transporting it across Tranquility while [[Starscream (Movie)/games|Starscream]] gave chase. Stopping in the suburbs, Starscream pounded Bumblebee's face to custard and pried the AllSpark from his cold, non-functioning fingers. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Decepticons}}
{{-}}

==AllSpark Wars==
After the first battle with the Decepticons on Earth, Bumblebee and the other Autobots went into stasis lock, held in storage around the world. He was revived over the course of the AllSpark Wars, which eventually led to the Decepticons' defeat. {{storylink|AllSpark Wars}}

==Allspark Highway==
The Autobots obtained the AllSpark, and needed to bring it to a secure location. Relaying it to one another, Bumblebee being the second link in the chain, the Autobots kept the AllSpark out of Decepticon hands until the evil robots simply gave up the chase. {{storylink|Allspark Highway}}

====Autobot campaign====
[[File:ROTF 360PS3PC BumblebeeVsCombaticonWarrior.jpg|thumb|250px|Bumblebee decided to learn from a [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|different Prime]].]]

Bumblebee was the Autobots' high speed recon soldier. In combat mode, he possessed a [[plasma cannon|solar plasma cannon]] firing rapid energy bursts, which could shift into a missile launcher that fired six missiles at a time. In melee combat, he could deploy an [[axe (weapon)|axe]] from his left hand. Finally, he possessed the ability to emit a localized [[electromagnetic pulse]]wave, which would temporarily stun enemy Decepticons.

Since he hadn't seen combat in some time, Bumblebee was sent through some retraining under Ironhide. Despite being fully combat certified, Bumblebee was not deployed during the [[Shanghai]] mission. When the Decepticons learned of the AllSpark shard Sam had left with Mikaela, Bumblebee was sent to rescue the girl and protect her from the drones dispatched to capture the shard. After a vicious fight, Mikaela was air lifted to safety.

After Megatron was reborn and kidnapped Sam, Bumblebee was sent to an industrial sector near his college to rescue the boy. He fought through twenty eight Decepticons while [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] hacked their processors to learn Sam's location. Once he found Sam at [[Broadwater Metal Works|an abandoned foundry]], Bumblebee raced Sam to the extraction point. However, the Decepticons sent reinforcements under [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. Bumblebee was able to fight off the Decepticons and defeat Grindor, saving Sam. However, it was learned that some knowledge from the AllSpark had been absorbed into the boy when he killed Megatron. Sam was forced to go seek out [[Seymour Simmons]] to learn what was going on. Bumblebee protected the boy while talked at the deli Simmons' mother owned. Sam than told Bumblebee that he needed to get to the museum nearby to speak with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]], an ancient Decepticon defector. Bumblebee fought off the Decepticons sent to destroy the museum long enough for Jetfire to open a [[space bridge]] and take him and Sam to [[Egypt]].

Once there, Jetfire explained what was going on: thousands of years ago, the [[Dynasty of Primes]] came to Earth to build a [[Star Harvester]] to convert Earth's sun into Energon. When they discovered the humans, twelve of the [[Thirteen|original Primes]] upheld the sanctity of life, but one Prime, forever known as [[The Fallen]], betrayed and slaughtered his brothers. The machine was hidden from the Fallen, who went on to become the master of the Decepticons. The machine was hidden within the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]], and [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] was sent to destroy it and expose the harvester. On the way, he decided to terrorize the city of [[Cairo]]. Faced with the largest Decepticon ever seen, the Autobots decided that Bumblebee, the smallest of the Autobots, would be a good choice to help [[NEST]] counter Devastator's rampage. Surprisingly enough, it worked: Bumblebee was able to whittle down Devastator's cannons and missile launchers before finally defeating the beast. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

====Decepticon campaign====

He also almost managed to defeat Starscream, but at the last moment Starscream used his [[Null-ray|null ray]], disabling Bumblebee. 'Bee overheard Starscream talking about the [[Matrix of Leadership]], and warned Optimus. When Optimus went missing in Egypt, Bumblebee went there himself and was told to rendezvous with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] near the [[Great Pyramid of Giza|Great Pyramid]]. By the time Bumblebee reached the pyramid, Jetfire had been knocked out by [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], who had taken possession of the Matrix. Bumblebee fought long and hard against the [[Combiner]], finally defeating him and retrieving the Matrix, only for [[Megatron (Movie)/games|Megatron]] to turn up and take Bumblebee prisoner. When Optimus came to the rescue, Bumblebee passed on the message that Jetfire had given him, that Optimus should use Jetfire's part to gain the power to defeat Megatron. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Glu)|Revenge of the Fallen (Glu)}}

*'''Strong Match-ups:'''

*'''Weak Match-ups:'''
**Mixmaster - Mixmaster looks to deliver much of his damage during Special Attacks allowing him to bypass much of Bumblebee’s evasiveness. Mixmasters use of Ability Block will also greatly reduce Bumblebee’s chance to avoid incoming attacks.
**Drift - Drift’s Precision Buff will ensure Bumblebee has nowhere to Evade to.
**Hot Rod - Evasive Bots will have a very hard time against Hot Rod, his Decceleration Debuff will completely negate the opponent’s chance to activate their Evade abilities.

:''Menasor is a [[Decepticon]] [[combiner]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Menasor studioox.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Dennis the Menasor]]
'''Menasor''' was meant to be the ultimate Decepticon weapon, and perhaps he would have been if not for the fatal flaw in his design. His mind was designed to merge the psyches of the five [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] who compose his form. Unfortunately the great depth of resentment the four limb components feel towards [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]], plus the extreme differences in attitude that makes them less a team and more a destruction derby, and of course the tiny detail that they're all psychotic, has created a primal psychological rift and left Menasor an unpredictable mass of conflicting, chaotic impulses.

Extremely powerful, highly mentally unstable, and prone to violent tantrums where he lashes out at anything in range, Menasor is not a weapon to point and fire, but a raging monster to turn loose on the battlefield and then get as far out of range as possible.

Menasor is the combined form of all five Stunticons:

*[[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] (torso)
*[[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] (left arm)
*[[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] (left leg)
*[[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Strip]] (right arm)
*[[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] (right leg)

In some universes, [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]] replaces Wildrider on the team, and sometimes the "[[roller car]]" or [[Blackjack (G1)|Blackjack]] act as a sixth component forming a chestplate for the combiner.

[[File:KtVS2 Introducing Menasor.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5| - Don't offend the little ones, Prime!]]
Created by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] to counteract the [[Autobot]]s' rule of the road, the Stunticons were powerful in their own right, but were also equipped with a secret ability by the Decepticon leader: they were the second Decepticon combiner team, able to merge into the towering Menasor. Megatron had the Stunticons unveil their combined form to battle the Autobots' new team, the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], but [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] had predicted Menasor's existence, and had given the Aerialbots the power to combine into [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. Menasor quickly took the upper hand in the fight that ensued between the two giants, his sheer aggression driving the Autobot combiner back, trapping him in a landslide. Just as Menasor was charging his opponent with intent to impale him on a factory smokestack, however, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] appeared to intercept the Stunticon gestalt's attack. Omega freed Superion, and the two Autobots overpowered Menasor, forcing him to disengage and retreat. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

When the Autobots obtained the weather-manipulating [[Pearl of Bahoudin]], Megatron had the Stunticons merged into Menasor to reclaim the device. His heavy-handed efforts did more harm than good, however, as the Pearl was knocked free from [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]]'s grasp and was swept up into a cyclone of its own making. Megatron abandoned the field of battle, leaving Menasor to menace the Autobots until the Pearl's storms wiped out all life on Earth. Bumblebee, [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] and [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] tried burying Menasor in a crevasse, but the giant's prodigious strength allowed him to tear free easily, forcing the Autobots back into a corner as he pressed his attack. Moments before the Autobots met their end, the <s>raging jackass</s> champion driver [[Auggie Cahnay (G1)|Auggie Cahnay]] hopped a cliff in his specially-designed car, launching it full speed ''straight into Menasor's face.'' Even Menasor couldn't shrug off an impact like that, and went down like a sack of tironium bricks. {{storylink|Trans-Europe Express}}

[[File:CosmicRust Menasor holds aloft bug.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|By the power of bumblebees!]]
Menasor's size and strength were brought into play when the Decepticons targeted the [[Statue of Liberty]] for destruction, as he could wield the [[Antilla]]n [[Lightning Bug]] heat ray as a hand-held weapon. The Autobots defend the statue, and before Menasor could open fire with the Lightning Bug, a strafing run from the Aerialbots caused him to drop the weapon. His flying foes combined into Superion and the two titans grappling over the weapon until Superion triumphed, throwing Menasor so hard that he splintered into his component Stunticons, giving the Aerialbot combiner the chance to destroy the Lightning Bug. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

[[File:Masquerade Menasors.JPG|left|upright=1.5|thumb|"If you are me, then who am I? This is all way too confusing for me."]]
While gathering up the components required for a new Decepticon laser weapon, the Stunticons wound up being captured by the Autobots. Looking to find out what Megatron was up to, a squad of Autobots used [[camouflage paint]] to disguise themselves as Stunticons to infiltrate the Decepticons camp, but while they were away on the mission, Breakdown managed to shake the true Stunticons free from their cells. The team united into Menasor, who felled their Autobot captors, then smashed his way out of the Autobots' volcano and took off for the Decepticons' temporary base. His arrival confused everyone, as he insisted that the "Stunticons" already present were impostors, but the Autobots were able to maintain their deception a while longer by "merging" into a Menasor form of their own through a combination of [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]'s magnetic powers and [[Mirage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Mirage]]'s illusions. The two Menasors battled, but the Autobots' makeshift combination couldn't stand up to a slash from the true Menasor's sword, and their true identities were exposed. Menasor stood strong in the hail of firepower the Autobots proceeded to unleash against him, but when a cavalry of other Autobots then arrived, the combiner decided he had had enough, and fled. {{storylink|Masquerade}}
[[File:FiveFaces1 Menasor wields sword.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|I'll kill you if you point out that I'm just Motormaster with some cars attached to my arms!]]
When the treacherous [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] rampaged with his new [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] army, Megatron requested the assistance of the Stunticons, only to be rebuffed by Drag Strip. The Stunticons finally decided to take notice when the Combaticons' combined form of [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] defeated [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]; at first, the rowdy bunch of cars did not care if Megatron was destroyed, but they realized Starscream would not simply stop at eliminating his former leader. The team quickly formed Menasor, who dispatched Bruticus with one mighty punch. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

In 2005, following their expulsion from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the Stunticons retreated with the rest of the Decepticons to the planet of [[Chaar]]. When [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] returned with a pittance of [[energon]] to go around, the Decepticons began fighting over the small handful of cubes, but Menasor held back until a victor had emerged in the form of Devastator, whom he then attacked. Menasor chopped the energy-deprived [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] combiner into his constituent 'bots, but before he could claim his prize, the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] swooped in to snatch up the cube. At that point, [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cyclonus]] arrived to chastise the squabbling Decepticons; Menasor and Astrotrain shared a wearied look as Cyclonus and the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]]s mindlessly chanted their loyalty to the absent [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}}

In 2006, the Stunticons attempted to attacked a weakened [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]], who was missing [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]], as he rescued a falling train. Unfortunately for them, no sooner had they combined into Menasor than [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] blasted their combined form in the back, disabling him before he even laid a hand on Defensor. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

[[File:FSRLFstorypage combaticon menasor.jpg|thumb|Brutisor, or Menacus. You decide!]]
When Menasor clashed with Superion in the heart of a major metropolitan area, the Stunticon combiner took the upper hand in the fight, but was bested when the Aerialbots separated and bound their opponent with energy ropes, making him an easy target for [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]]'s firepower. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 8|Story page #8}} Later, Menasor teamed up with Devastator to wreak some havoc on the Autobots, but the Autobots had some new backup in the form of Defensor. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 12|Story page #12}}

During a later battle with the Autobots, Motormaster combined with the Combaticons to form a variant version of Menasor with [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] and [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]] as arms, and [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] and [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] as legs. The Autobots were aghast at the sight of this new menace, {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 13|Story page #13}} but likely not ''quite'' as aghast as they were at the sight of Menasor, Devastator, and Bruticus's [[:File:GestaltTrioTVMagazine.jpg|deformed bodies]] when they later gathered for another major battle. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 16|Story page #16}}

=====Scramble City=====
{{voiceactor|[[Kōji Totani]] (Japanese)}}
[[File:Scramblecity breakdown forms an arm.jpg|thumb|left]]

After the Aerialbots prevented an attempt by the Decepticons to attack the subterranean construction site of their Scramble City project, the Stunticons were called into action and soon combined into Menasor to battle their airborne rivals. When Superion unveiled the full extent of the Aerialbots' [[Scramble Power]], reconfiguring his limbs to increase his power, Menasor shocked the Autobots by revealing that he too had the same ability. The Stunticons had a slightly better handle on the power, too; when [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]] forgot his position on the combiner, leaving Superion legless, Menasor disconnected Wildrider and had him take the place of Superion's missing limb, crippling the Aerialbot gestalt. A barrage from the other Autobots severed Wildrider, and the restored Superion toppled Menasor, but the Combaticons then arrived to aid the Stunticons. Menasor and Bruticus tag-teamed Superion, but were both stopped when [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City itself]] was brought into battle to end the conflict. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

=====''Transformers 2010'' story pages=====
[[File:2010storypage mixed up menasor.jpg|thumb]]
Following the return of Galvatron and their alliance with the [[Quintesson]]s, the Decepticons renewed their offensive against the Autobots. Menasor, Bruticus and Devastator joined the Decepticons' newest combiner [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] in battling Superion and Defensor, though Predaking did most of the work as Menasor held back and smirked at the sight of his old rivals taking a beating. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (story page)#Part 2|Story page #2}} To fight back, the Autobots had to take the threat posed by Menasor and the other combiners into consideration and develop appropriate countermeasures. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (story page)#Part 4|Story page #4}}

In an "imaginary tale" that proposed an alliance between the Stunticons, Aerialbots, Combaticons and Protectobots, a version of Menasor was formed who had Vortex for a right arm, [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] as his left arm, [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] as his right leg, and Fireflight as his left leg. {{storylink|Fight!

[[File:HM2 menasor uses hotrod as shield.jpg|thumb|left|''"Made... In... China...?"'']]
The Stunticons participated in Galvatron's siege on Cybertron in the year 2011. They formed Menasor to fight their Autobot counterparts, but were steamrolled by the might and firepower of the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]]. Returning to Earth, they were deployed to stop what appeared to be an attempt by the Aerialbots to steal a cache of Decepticon energon in the desert, but this was a feint to keep them busy and prevent them from interfering in Hot Rod's quest for the missing [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Realizing they had been had, the team formed Menasor and sped to Hot Rod's location in the Arctic, but Superion followed and took Menasor down despite his attempt to use Hot Rod as a shield. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

In [[San Francisco]], Menasor assisted Bruticus in using [[buridanka|a carnivorous plant]] to distract the Autobots from [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s plans on [[Zarak (planet)|Zarak]]. He fought against the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]]' combined form, [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} Much later, the Stunticons assembled in the desert as their Ninja Commander [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] began issuing orders. They formed Menasor and took part in the escalating Decepticon war effort as five separate Autobot outposts were attacked simultaneously at Sixshot's command. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

[[File:HMep35 sixshot strikes menasor.jpg|thumb|he got hit with a getsuga tensho'']]
Following the Decepticons' apparent expulsion from Earth, Menasor was among the group who secretly did not leave the planet, but who instead withdrew to the sub-oceanic city of [[Lemuria (myth)|Lemuria]], where he oversaw the processing of [[crysmagnetal]] for Scorponok's fiendish [[Death Tower]]s. Following the towers' deployment, he joined the entire Decepticon army in battling the Autobots at the North Pole, where he would have killed [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] if Sixshot hadn't intervened on the boy's behalf, charging the combiner head-on and toppling him. When Scorponok's plan was foiled, Menasor escaped into space along with the rest of the Decepticons as the battle climaxed. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

Menasor was among the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] recruited by the Decepticons' newest [[Emperor of Destruction]], [[Violengiguar]]. Outfited with new armor and weaponry—including a giant shield that he could sling at his enemies, and some kind of funky transparent-green Phantom-of-the-Opera-lookin' half-face mask—Menasor was somewhat dubiously christened the "Intelligence General" of the group, and sent forth to conquer planets in pursuit of Violengiguar's goal of creating a [[Decepticon Zone]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} At some point, the Generals schooled [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]] and the [[Metrosquad]] in the ways of evil, making them more than formidable foes for the [[Powered Master]]s. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 7}}

Together with Overlord and Abominus, Menasor laid waste to the world of Feminia, destroying the entire planet and nearly killing Autobot leader Star Saber. With the Autobots left in disarray, Violengiguar gathered all nine of his generals together and instructed them to gather the energy sources necessary for him to create a Decepticon Zone: the Energon Z of planet Zone, and the mysterious [[Zodiac]], concealed on Earth. Menasor joined Overlord, Abominus and Bruticus in attacking Zone; the armament of the Autobots' Zone Base was no match for the giants, and Menasor smashed the [[Gasoline Base]] component to pieces with his huge shield. Overlord tore the Energon Z power core out of Zone Base, and the team immediately departed to redenzvous with the other generals and hand over the Energon Z so they could take it with them to Earth. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

=====e-HOBBY comics=====
Menasor was charging into battle against the Autobots when the dimensional intruder [[Grand Scourge]] suddenly dropped in through a tear in space-time. Menasor cared little about the new arrival's identity, moving in to crush him immediately. But with a single swift blow of Grand Scourge's [[Matrix Breaker]] sword, Menasor was split into his individual components. The Stunticons were then forced to combine with Grand Scourge, save Motormaster, who fled in terror. {{storylink|Decepticon Dark Commander Grand Scourge}}

=====''Generations Selects Special Comic''=====
In [[2050]], Menasor and the Decepticons joined the revolution of the [[Selector]]s against their human masters. The [[Quintesson]]s and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s sided with the humans, and [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] attacked all while craving Angolmois Energy. In battle with a scrambled version of [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], Abominus crashed into Bruticus and Menasor and stole some of their limb components to make an even stronger version of himself. {{storylink|Abominus comic 2}}

In the late 1980s, under orders from [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], Menasor joined the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] in an energy raid on [[Tokyo]]. Though challenged by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and a unit of Autobots, Menasor made short work of them by punching all he could in the face with his giant fist. His evil was bested, however, when Prime drove up a ramp and punched ''him'' in the face. The blow was powerful enough to force him to retreat. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 1|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #1}}

Menasor later attacked a baseball stadium where [[Kenji]] was on a date, intending to turn it into a new Decepticon base. Kenji quickly summoned [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] to battle the Decepticon, but Menasor was immediately aided by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. After a short skirmish, Decepticon victory seemed in the bag until Menasor got his legs knocked off. [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] and [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] then latched onto the stumps and blasted Menasor away, dumping him in the Pacific Ocean, far away from Japan. {{storylink|Fight!

The [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]] were there to save the day, tying Predaking's legs together and causing him to topple over and crush Menasor and the other combiners under his weight. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

On a mission to steal energy from a power plant, the Stunticons formed Menasor to fight off the interfering Superion. With Superion weakened by a blast from the Decepticons' new electromagnetic [[Omega Wave Cannon]], Menasor reconfigured his limbs, positioning Drag Strip and Wildrider as his arms for a [[gravito-gun|Double Graviton Gun]] attack that pinned the Aerialbot down. Unfortunately for Menasor, Metroplex and the other Autobots soon arrived, and the sight of the giant city-bot left the Stunticon combiner momentarily stunned, allowing Superion to right himself. Superion disengaged Slingshot, who knocked Wildrider loose from Menasor and took his place, immobilizing the Decepticon so that Superion could stomp him into defeat. {{storylink|Full Throttle Scramble Power!}}

''Menasor first appeared in a series of dreams experienced by [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]], in which the young boy saw the Decepticon combiner ambush Superion while the Autobot was distracted after defeating [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] in combat, only to be beaten back and buried in a landslide. Realizing in short order that these dreams were, in fact, visions of the future granted to Buster by the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] his brain had briefly housed, the Autobots and Decepticons devised a way to peer into his mind. In this dream-vision, they watched as the Stunticons formed Menasor to combat the Protectobots as they attempted to save humans at the [[Pullen Power Plant]]. Menasor found himself physically outmatched by the Protectobot gestalt Defensor, but back-up soon arrived in the form of Bruticus. While Defensor and Bruticus grappled, Superion arrived to engage Menasor; unfortunately for the Stunticon combiner, his personality problems handicapped him, with Dead End taking objection to being ordered about, leading to him firing his weapons too late to hit Superion and accidentally blasting Bruticus instead. Menasor attempted to flee, but Superion stopped his flight by opening a crevasse under his feet with his [[stress fracture cannon]].'' {{storylink|Second Generation!}} {{storylink|The Special Teams Have Arrived}}

[[File:Menasor superion heavy traffic.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
''Using these dreams as a blueprint'', the Decepticons constructed the Stunticons and imbued them with life via one of [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]]'s [[cerebro-shell]]s, which siphoned off the energies of the Creation Matrix as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] used it to bring the similarly created Aerialbots to life. When the two teams subsequently met in battle over the Autobot named [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] and his human passenger, [[Donny Finkleberg]], they merged into Menasor and Superion for the first time. The two gargantuan gladiators shattered a freeway overpass (or was it an entrance ramp...?) before engaging in hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately for the Autobots, the ever-unhelpful robot hunter named [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]] entered the fray for [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]] and zapped Superion, temporarily overloading his circuitry and allowing Menasor to administer the coup-de-grace, courtesy of his [[cyclone gun]]. Skids and Finkleberg disappeared in the melee, though, forcing the Stunticons to disconnect and begin searching for them anew. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic!}}

[[File:Menasor legacy of unicron.jpg|thumb]]
In [[2008]], the renegade Decepticons [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] teamed up with the freelance peacekeeping agent named [[Death's Head (G1)|Death's Head]] to assassinate Commander [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]. Cut off from the battle by a set of blast doors, [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] summoned Menasor to help him break through and deal with the traitors. The super-robot eventually succeeded, but it was too late. Shockwave was dead, and the Decepticons were forced to accept Scourge and Cyclonus as their new leaders. {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}}

===The Special Teams===
A malfunction in the systems of the Autobots' new combiner team, the Aerialbots, caused them to briefly defect to the Decepticons, but when they returned to the Autobot ranks, Megatron was inspired to compensate for their loss by creating the Stunticons. After Starscream collected the freshly-created Stunticons from Cybertron, Megatron ordered them all to rendezvous with the rest of the Decepticon force at the recently evacuated [[Pullen Power Plant]]. The Stunticons merged into Menasor to smash through the Protectobots guarding the plant, but Menasor was unprepared for the Protectobots' own ability to combine into Defensor. Bruticus soon arrived to back him up, but Superion then join the fray; Menasor and Superion squared off, with the Aerialbot combiner successfully damaging Menasor's armor with his stress fracture cannon. Having taken enough lumps for one day, Menasor disengaged into the individual Stunticons and fled. {{storylink|The Special Teams}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:WarandPeace4 menasor crush.jpg|left|thumb|Shoot him before his pelvic thrust is fully realized!]]
Menasor was one of several combiner robots based on the original prototype, [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. He existed as the combined form of Motormaster's Stunticons, but was effectively forced into retirement by the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]], which outlawed the use of super-robots among the factions. {{storylink|Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|War Within: The Dark Ages}}

At some point in Cybertron's recent history, the Stunticons were deemed psychotic and too dangerous to function in society, and as a result were placed into perpetual stasis lock inside of a [[Detention Banks|prison facility]], much to the relief of security officer [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]]. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye #6}} However, in the year 2003, in an attempt to create a diversion while he set his final plans in motion, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] had [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] surreptitiously release the Stunticons, unleashing Menasor on an unsuspecting world once again. The deranged combiner ran amok for a while, crushing Defensor and the Wreckers when they tried to stand in his way, until [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] arrived and took up the fight. Insulting the individual Stunticons as he battled, Magnus was able to fracture Menasor's mind, causing the five Stunticons' consciousnesses to began to bickering inside his head over whose fault it was that they were losing. Temporarily paralyzed by this mental turmoil, Menasor was left wide open, and Ultra Magnus rammed the combiner in the chest, forcing him to separate into his disabled component parts. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}}

When a group of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Cobra]] members ran into the Stunticons in 1930's [[Chicago]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] warned them about the existence of Menasor. Thankfully, Motormaster wasn't around to form the giant. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II issue 2|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #2}}

After the Stunticons were recruited into [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]]'s army, Menasor attacked an Autobot peace ceremony, teaming up with [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] and [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]] to defeat [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} He then tracked down Optimus Prime, stomped on a [[Optimus Prime's rescuees|civilian]] Optimus had just saved, and delivered [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]] to pass a message on to the Autobot leader. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}}

Just as the Decepticons were on the brink of a great victory over the Autobots, the tables turned when the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] revealed their long-hidden combined form, [[Beast (G1)|The Beast]]. This misshapen monstrosity's raw power struck fear in all the Decepticons, but the Constructicons, Combaticons and Stunticons found the courage to combine and counter-attack. When the Beast effortlessly felled Bruticus and Devastator, however, Menasor thought twice about going through with an attack, and instead cowered before the monster, begging for mercy. But the Beast had none: it seized Menasor, lifted him above its head, and tore him to pieces. {{storylink|The Beast Within}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[Things Fall Apart, Part 4: "Enemies of the System"|''Transformers vol. 1'' #5]]; [[First Contact (IDW)|''Transformers vol. 2'' #39]] (with Offroad & Blackjack)
[[File:EnemiesoftheSystem menasor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.70|Menasor's only purpose in IDW fiction is get beaten up by everyone and everything.]]
Gestalt technology was the product of [[Nexus Prime]]'s [[Enigma of Combination]] in the ancient past of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and when it was lost, many dedicated themselves to rediscovering it. {{storylink|The Crucible}} Perhaps the most unexpected success was that accomplished by [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]], who stole what little of the technology had been re-engineered, reunited the scattered Stunticons after they were left behind on Earth following the Decepticon evacuation of the planet, and gave them the ability to combine into Menasor. Keeping his accomplishment a secret, Swindle forged a phoney alliance with a splinter group of Autobots led by Hot Rod, but once they had completed construction of the spacecraft to take them off Earth, he revealed his intent to steal the ship and kill the Autobots, and had the Stunticons merge into Menasor before their horrified eyes. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 4: "Enemies of the System"|Enemies of the System}} Fortunately for the Autobots, the combination wasn't seamless, and the Stunticons were left with individualized consciousnesses instead of a gestalt Menasor mind. ''Un''fortunately for Swindle's chosen first target, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]], they didn't disagree about killing him...only ''how'' to kill him. The arrival of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] gave Menasor momentary pause, long enough for [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] to recognize how uncoordinated Menasor's mind(s) was, and instruct the Autobots on exploiting that weakness. By selectively targeting the individual Stunticon components, the Autobots forced them to think of their own safety instead of Menasor's, making the giant easy prey. He was overwhelmed by their firepower, and broken down into separate Decepticons before capture. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 5: "Earthworks"|Earthworks}}

The Stunticons' makeshift combination would never function again, but represented a further step in the continuing rediscovery of the technology; Shockwave studied the records of his creation, {{storylink|Shockpoint}} which fed into the Decepticons' subsequent perfection of the process. {{storylink|Before the Dawn}} When [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] later took rulership of Cybertron, he encouraged [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] to help him create a functioning combiner of his own, citing Menasor as a particularly worrisome example of a combiner created by an unlikely source. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}}

[[File:CW-returnofmenasor.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.70|Basically the only time that Menasor posed a threat to anyone... for about five minutes or so.]]
After [[The Question|a particularly humiliating defeat]] resulted in [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] leaving the Stunticons, Offroad was brought in to replace him. As the Stunticons were explaining to him how they operated, they were approached by Swindle, who piqued their interest by showing them that he had with him the Enigma of Combination. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} Beforehand, Starscream had also arranged for [[Blackjack (G1)|Blackjack]] to join the Stunticons, fully aware that the cop's anger issues would affect the personality of a combiner... {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}}

After using the Enigma to upgrade Menasor—allowing the Stunticons to properly merge their minds—the Stunticons combined, and accompanied Swindle to the colony world of [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], ready to steal anything of value from its people. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} He appeared in front of the [[Alpha Squadron]] to menace his enemies and when [[Afterburner (G2)|one of them]] tried to arrest him, he stomped the poor bot flat. By this point Swindle realized Starscream had arranged for the Stunticons to play villains so that he could take them down and become the "savior" of Caminus, but his attempts to convince Menasor to stand down were in vain due to Blackjack's influence, which turned the combiner into an unhinged, raging monster. Menasor made short work of both Camien defenders and Starscream's reinforcements from Cybertron, but was finally brought down when Starscream and Optimus Prime deployed the Autobot combiner [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], whose mental stability prevailed over Menasor's blind rage. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}}

The Stunticons and Swindle were incarcerated in Starscream's secret prison while Starscream built relations with the Camiens. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} However, in the interim, [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] and the Constructicons returned to Cybertron and tried to use [[Devastator (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Devastator]] to forcibly sever contact between Cybertron and Caminus, only to bet thwarted when Starscream created the Autobot combiner [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. {{storylink|The Possible Light}} {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}} Meanwhile, Starscream's advisor [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], also not wanting Starscream to form a Cybertronian empire, was colluding with Prowl. While Starscream gained Devastator's loyalty, Rattrap freed Swindle to cause a distraction while Rattrap freed Prowl. Swindle graciously complied, breaking out the Stunticons and proceeding to lie to them and several Decepticons that a better life awaited them on Caminus. The Stunticons combined into Menasor, leading the charge to Metroplex's space bridge chamber. Menasor tried to enter the portal only for Devastator to oppose him; Defensor and Superion soon joined the four-way fray. During the ensuing clash, a stray shot from Swindle hit the space bridge's control panel and destabilized the portal. Menasor and Superion fell through to an unknown, alien planet and were soon joined by Defensor and then Devastator, who demands that the other three calm down or else he would make them calm down. But then they were joined by the result of Prowl's machinations: the new combiner [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]]! {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} The combiners fought as they travelled from planet to planet, and Menasor was subsequently knocked out by Defensor and dragged back to Cybertron, where Windblade and Chromia helped subdue him. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

Later, when the [[Mistress of Flame]] wanted [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] released to Camien custody, she suggested Swindle or Menasor could be handed over instead to face justice for their crimes. Wanting to keep Menasor and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] on his side, Starscream opted to release Chromia. {{storylink|Heavy}}

===''Kre-O'' online manga===
With [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] and [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]], Menasor attempted to place a giant bust of [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]]'s head atop the Decepticon's solar tower.

{{voiceactor|[[Charlie Guzman]] (English)}}
[[File:CombinerWarsTheFallScreen.JPG|thumb|upright=1.5|right|"Hi, I'm Trypticon!"]]
The creation of Menasor and his ilk led to Optimus Prime's realization that the Transformers' civil war had become a never-ending arms race, one that could only end in Cybertron's destruction. {{storylink|Prelude to Transformers: Combiner Wars - Optimus Prime}}

Menasor and [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] fought one another, a fight that spilled over to [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]]. Menasor was able to put down his Autobot enemy for good, but was soon set upon by [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Maxima]]. Declaring that combiners were here to stay, he killed Maxima after she blasted him in the eye - but Maxima's sacrifice allowed Windblade to kill the combiner. {{storylink|The Fall}} For this incident, Windblade swore vengeance against the combiners and all who followed them. {{storylink|Prelude to Transformers: Combiner Wars - Windblade}} Menasor's remains were brought back to Cybertron, where Starscream absorbed them into his giant super-combiner form. {{storylink|A War of Giants}}

For some reason or the other, Menasor and [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] were later brought back to life. Probably due to the [[Enigma of Combination]]. {{storylink|Destruction's Dawn}}

Menasor assisted in the reconstruction efforts following the end of the Combiner Wars. {{storylink|Aftermath and Rebirth}} When [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] attacked, he and the other Combiners were recruited by the [[Mistress of Flame]] to search for [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|Our Heroes Respond}} They eventually reached the [[Titan (group)|Titan]], where Menasor got distracted by a flashing button and pressed it, inadvertently launching a [[Emissary (TR)|missile]]. {{storylink|The Fight Begins}} When [[Victorion]] took control of Fortress Maximus's weapons and prepared to fire them at Trypticon, Menasor spoke up in protest, noting that the barrage would hit [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] as well, but was overruled. {{storylink|Overlord and Emissary}}

[[File:POTP-Ep2-Volcanicus-Menasor-dies.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]
When [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] arrived at Fortress Maximus and revealed the Mistress of Flame had perished, Menasor and the other Combiners assumed him responsible and attacked. Menasor managed to grab Megatron, but was forced to release him after taking a shot to the face from his [[fusion cannon]]. Once Windblade arrived and the fight stopped long enough for Megatron to explain, Menasor fused with the other Combiners using the Enigma of Combination, turning Victorion into a super-Combiner. {{storylink|Desperate Actions}} Unfortunately, they proved no match for Trypticon and were ultimately forced to separate again, though Menasor was quick to jump back into the fray. He and Computron attempted to attack Trypticon's foot to knock him off balance, later joining the others in attacking Trypticon's fortress mode from all sides. {{storylink|In Good Hands}} When Trypticon swallowed Victorion and the Enigma, he used its power to take control of Menasor and the other Combiners, forcing them to attack Maximus and Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Consumed}} Menasor was freed form Trypticon's control after the Titan expelled the Enigma, and he bore witness to the return of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] and the death of Optimus. Believing he intended to restart the Decepticons, Menasor was all but ready to kill Megatron, but cooler heads eventually prevailed and he agreed to follow Megatron's lead in hopes of stopping Megatronus. {{storylink|All Things Must Pass}}

Unfortunately, while the others went searching for the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]] in [[Primal Swamp]], Menasor and his team were cornered by [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Cron]]. Though he refused to admit Megatron's whereabouts and tried to fight back, he was eventually restrained by Overlord, who forced him to watch as Rodimus destroyed each of [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s limbs. Finally cracking, Menasor confessed where the others had gone, only for Rodimus to finish Devastator off and Overlord to crush Menasor's neck, killing him again, causing his spark to float away. {{storylink|Volcanicus (episode)|Volcanicus}}

The Autobots brought the Aerialbots to life at the same time, and the Decepticons found themselves on the losing side until the Stunticons merged into Menasor. The Decepticons lost nonetheless, though they acquired the key to Vector Sigma as a consolation prize. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1 (Legends)|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}} Upon discovering that the key could transform Earth's organic matter into metal, the Stunticons merged once more into Menasor to fight against the Aerialbots, who attempted to stop them from transforming Earth into a new Cybertron.

**''Accessories:'' Head, left & right fists, left & right feet, [[roller car]]/chest plate, "blast deflector" waist plate, Motormaster's [[cyclone gun]] and [[ionizer sword]], small Stunticons' individual guns, sticker sheets (both individual packs and giftset)
:Menasor is formed out of all five Stunticon toys, with Motormaster serving as the central body component, and the four smaller team members as limbs, using additional attachments for Menasor's hands and feet, a mask for his head, waist armor, and a chestplate formed from the "roller car" figure included with Motormaster. He is armed with Motormaster's sword and cyclone rifle. As a "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and Transformers 2010)|Scramble City]]"-style combiner, Menasor's limbs are fully interchangeable; any of his limb-components, or any members of the other compatible combiner teams, are able to form either an arm or leg for the giant. Menasor is the smallest, but sturdiest, of the Scramble City combiners.

:Along with Metroplex, Superion, Bruticus, and Defensor, Menasor was designed for an aborted ''[[Diaclone]]'' line that would have been called ''Jizai Gattai'' ("[[Free-Combination]]"), which was shelved to make way for the ''Transformers'' line. Menasor's five Stunticon components could be purchased either individually, or in a giftset. A Japanese "VS-A" set that would have packaged Menasor with Superion was planned, but went unreleased.

:In his original release year of 1986, Menasor's five Stunticon components could be purchased either individually, or in a giftset. The individual Stunticons were later reissued in [[Europe]] as part of the ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' series in 1990.

Given the ''Generation 2'' toyline's handling of other combiners, it is unlikely Menasor would have been released as a giftset even if the individual figures had made it to retail.

:A [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] [[exclusive]] first sold at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2007, Menasor is a redeco of the ''[[Titanium Series]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Rodimus Prime]], transforming into a Cybertronic Winnebago-ish thing.

:According to this Menasor's bio, he is a single entity built from the bodies of the individual Stunticons and controlled by their psychotic, permanently unified minds. Whether this same backstory applies to the ''Classics'' or ''Universe'' toys is unknown.

*'''Menasor''' (Micro-Changer Combiner, 2013)
**''Set number'': '''A7308'''
**''Pieces'': '''90'''
:Part of the third wave of [[Kreon]] [[Micro-Changer]] combiner sets, Menasor comes as a set of four component Kreons: Breakdown, Dead End, Drag Strip, and Motorbreath. The Kreons can be built into their robot modes or their vehicle modes, or they can be built into Menasor by taking them apart and combining their pieces.

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

:As Kreon combiners only involve four components, ''Kre-O'' [[Wildrider (G1)#Kre-O|Brake-Neck]] instead ended up as a Series 4 blind-bagged figure. However he can built along with the gestalt if you have any creativity.

:Part of the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' subline, ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Menasor is an entirely new mold Scramble City-style combiner made up of four Deluxe figures ([[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Dragstrip]], [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]], [[Dead End (G1)#Combiner Wars|Dead End]], and new member [[Offroad (CW)#Toys|Offroad]]) as limbs, a Voyager figure ([[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]]) as the torso, and [[Blackjack (G1)#Generations|Blackjack]] for the chestplate. He can wield a large, [[5 mm post]] sword formed by connecting Motormaster's smaller sword to his gun and can also hold any of the Deluxe components' smaller weapons. He was announced at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[2014]] along with fellow combiner Superion. His stock photo cleverly concealed an online listing image of ''Generations'' Huffer and Blackjack. A few months after the other Stunticons' release, [[Wildrider (G1)#Generations|Brake-Neck]] (actually Wildrider, renamed due to trademark reasons) was announced and released shortly thereafter, intended to replace Offroad and complete the original Stunticon roster.

:Menasor is considered the least-stable Combiner of the entire ''Combiner Wars'' line, due to the various design failures that plague Motormaster's design which will more likely than not cause him to fall apart. Such issues include but are not limited to: bad hip articulation due to poorly-designed ratchet joints which complicates his ability to stand any way other than straight and stiff (further complicated by the lack of ankle articulation necessary to compensate), shoulder mechanisms that come untabbed due to weak lock tolerances if the arms are moved, a problematic waist swivel caused by the skirt flap being attached to the stomach instead of the pelvis, and the inability to keep Blackjack securely attached to the chest due to incorrectly-molded sizing in the tabs. Although the hip ratchet problem was (slightly) resolved with an updated re-release of Motormaster that included remolded ratchets, the other problems were not addressed by the rerelease or subsequent redecos.

:Although heavily based on the G1 design for Menasor, the Generations iteration of Menasor instructs the legs to be attached with the car body facing forward, as opposed to facing backwards like the G1 toy. Although the undersides of the Stunticons resemble the G1 toys enough to resemble the G1 design if attached backwards, doing so will rob Menasor of his functional knees, ironic due to the fact the reverse was done to give the G1 Menasor toy functioning knees.

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

**''ID number:'' '''UW-02'''
**''English name:'' '''Decepticon Stunticons Combiner Menasor'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword (formed from Motormaster's sword and gun), 4 hands/feet, 4 small weapons
:Takara's ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' iteration of Menasor was sold in a gift set including all five "Stuntrons" (minus [[Runabout (RID)|the Blackjack mold]]) with Wildrider (a retooled Dead End) included instead of Offroad. He has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon. Most notably, Motormaster has more black on his vehicle mode, "Drag Stripe" has red details instead of purple, and Dead End lacks his usual gold stripe. The set also features some minor improvements to the original sculpts, such as improved hip-ratchets for Motormaster for increased stability. In addition, Breakdown's hand/foot/gun accessory (which was designed with the intended Sunstreaker redeco/retool in mind, doubling as his "supercharger" engine) was replaced with another version of Dragstrip's hand/foot/gun accessory, which also increases the symmetry for the hands and feet.

:As the entirety of Motormaster is molded in [[Gold Plastic Syndrome#Other notable instances|swirly plastic]], Menasor/Motomaster's waist can eventually crack and split the torso in half.

:Printed on his instructions is the second chapter of ''[[Unite Warriors Offshot]]''. Undocumented in the instructions, ''Unite Warriors'' Menasor's chest can attach ''Adventure'' [[Runabout (RID)|Runabout]] (or his mold mates Blackjack and Rodimus) on his combined mode chest.

:The giftset also included a collector commemorative coin when purchased in select retailers outside Japan.

**'''3 of 5: [[Dead End (G1)#Legacy|Dead End]]'''
**'''5 of 5: [[Motormaster (G1)#Legacy|Decepticon Motormaster]]'''
:The first combiner figure released in the main ''Generations'' line since ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Menasor is based heavily on the character's appearance in the original Generation 1 cartoon. To match this design — which depicted the Stunticons as if they were simply hanging off Menasor's limbs, rather than actually forming the limbs themselves — the toy features a very unconventional combination method that involves Motormaster's trailer splitting into five combiner-body pieces—two arms, two legs, and a torso—to which the individual Stunticons attach. When attached to the arm pieces, hidden buttons on the arm Stunticons are pressed that allow them to split in two, giving Menasor a full range of elbow articulation; the leg Stunticons, meanwhile, activate an auto-transform feature in the leg pieces themselves, closing up the front of the leg to "complete" its appearance. Motormaster himself forms the upper block of the chest and the head. Nearly every one of Menasor's joints is constructed using strong ratchets, adding a great deal of stability to him overall.

:As the Stunticons themselves do not actually play a role in the combination process, it is possible—and indeed, advertised on the back of Motormaster's packaging—to fully combine the trailer pieces into a skeletal, incomplete Menasor even if you don't have any of the limb-bots. Unlike past toys of Menasor, the ''Legacy'' Stunticons are not interchangeable, each designed to form a specific limb; at most, you can swap the legs for one another. Although the ''Legacy'' Stunticons are not designed to be reverse-compatible with the older ''Combiner Wars'' figures, Motormaster's combination system features ''Combiner Wars'' joint-sized recesses, which technically allow any ''Combiner Wars''-compatible figure to be used as a leg for Menasor, although the connected ''Combiner Wars'' leg will not secure inside the recess and not scale properly if used with a native Menasor leg.

===Transformers Ramune===
[[File:Ramune menasor keshi.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Menasor''' (1986)
**''ID number:'' '''3'''
:An unpainted figurine of Menasor was available as part of the second range of [[Kabaya]]'s line of ''[[Transformers Ramune]]'' [[candy toy]]s, tying in with the ''Scramble City'' toyline. Like all figures in the series, Menasor was sold in a [[Blindpacking|blindpacked]] box with fizzy "ramune" candy, and featured a main body was made of hard red plastic, with soft grey PVC limbs articulated at the hips and shoulders.

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

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

===Gaia Scramble/Transformers Gum===
[[File:Kabaya menasor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
*'''Menasor''' (2013)
:This incarnation of Menasor is formed by combining the separate Stunticons available in two of [[Kabaya]]'s lines of [[candy toy]]s: Dead End, Breakdown, Drag Strip and Wildrider were available as part of the ''[[Gaia Scramble]]'' line, while Motormaster was released through the ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line. All five figures are snap-together model kits that use stickers for details and come with a stick of gum; Dead End and Breakdown share a mold, as do Drag Strip and Wildrider, each kit affecting minor differences in how they are assembled to differentiate the figures beyond color, which, aside from Motormaster, bear no resemblance to any previous established color schemes for the Stunticons.

:One of the titular [[combiner]]s from the [[Transformers Trading Card Game]] Wave 2: Rise of the Combiners, Menasor, Menacing Colossus can be formed by playing the Action card [[Enigma of Combination|Stunticon Enigma]] while the Character cards for all five [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] are in Bot Mode while on the battlefield and/or the KO area.

:Menasor, Menacing Colossus' art is based on the [[Combiner Wars (franchise)|Combiner Wars]] version of Menasor, with [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]] replacing [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]]. Like the Combiner Wars version of Menasor, [[Blackjack (G1)|Blackjack]] is depicted as a chestplate despite not being included in the card set.

==Notes==
[[File:MenasorEarly.jpg|thumb||upright=.9|Menasor got dressed in a rush this morning.]]
*Menasor's [[instructions]] and [[package art]] depict Drag Strip and Breakdown as his arms, and Wildrider and Dead End as his legs, while the character model used for the cartoon and comic—which has gone on to become the "default" arrangement for Menasor in most subsequent media—makes Drag Strip and Dead End the arms, and Breakdown and Wildrider the legs. An alternate model, designed for ''[[TV Magazine]]'' manga and story pages, seen at the top of this article, makes Drag Strip and Wildrider the arms, and Breakdown and Dead End the legs. Drag Strip's the only one in the same place in every configuration!
*An alternate animation character sheet from the original cartoon exists for Menasor. It features all of the limbs in different orientations (the arms upside-down, the legs upside down and reversed with the car sides facing front) from the final model ''and'' the chest sports an Autobot symbol (!), suggesting, perhaps, that the Stunticon and Aerialbot toy factions may have originally been the other way around. This model was used for the toy [[commercial]] which appeared to introduce the Stunticons and Aerialbots, though with the faction symbol corrected.
*The animators frequently misinterpreted Menasor's character model in the original G1 cartoon. Instead of having the four small Stunticons as his actual limbs (with, for example, his fist directly attached to Drag Strip's form), he was drawn as though the four cars attached on top of generic blocky limbs that extended from Motormaster, which would pretty much negate the whole point of the combining schtick.
**Menasor's original design featured in IDW's [[The Transformers (IDW)|ongoing series]] features a modified version of this idea; Motormaster's separating parts form the torso, forearms, hands, and feet of Menasor's body, with the Stunticons filling the missing gaps in the body. When Menasor returned after being rebuilt by the Enigma of Combination, his design was altered to resemble the toy featured in the concurrently running ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' toyline, and returns to the traditional combiner limb setup.
**[[File:MenasorDevastationConcept.jpg|thumb]]Conversely, Menasor's appearance in ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]'' combines his classic Generation 1 and ''Combiner Wars'' designs. While combining, the Stunticons instead attach directly on top of Motormaster's limbs before merging with them to form Menasor's limbs. The resulting Menasor design uses the torso and arms from his G1 design, and uses the CW design for the legs, chest and head. Offroad is featured in this design instead of Wildrider, and although he does not appear with the Stunticon grouping prior to combining or when Menasor briefly separates, Blackjack takes the place of the Roller Car on Menasor's chest, materializing directly from Motormaster himself.
**His Legacy design closely resembles his model in G1 cartoon with the same "combination" sequence. This, however, has Motormaster resort to form only the cab portion (like his CW toys). This, however, makes Motormaster, while still taller, not so out-of-scale to other Stunticons.
***Interestingly, prior to this, many [[Third party|3rd party]] companies have released their version of Menasor with this configuration.
*Despite using his ''Combiner Wars'' design, the ''Earth Wars'' iteration of Menasor uses Wildrider/Brake-Neck as a left leg as opposed to Offroad. Offroad, however, is still in the game and his bio also mentions him as a Stunticon.
*In ''Earth Wars'', once the Stunticons complete the combination sequence for Menasor, the latter shows some seizure-like twitching. This is likely a reference to [[Menasor (RID)|his 2015 namesake]], who also has unstable mentality.
