First revealed at New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], the '''''Transformers: Studio Series''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations: Studio Series''''') toyline is a celebration under the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' banner of over ten years of [[live-action film series|films]], with characters from every movie represented. It has also coincided with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]'', and ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'', acting as the collector-oriented tie-in for these films, similar to ''Generations'' for the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' toyline. ''Studio Series'' would later add toys based on ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and video games such as ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''.

In the first seven years of the toyline, each figure was numbered with an indication of their movie of origin and came with a cardboard backdrop–the eponymous "studio"<ref>{{citesocial|quote=It's called "Studio Series" partly because Hasbro envisioned fans using the included backdrops as miniature "studios" when taking photos of the toys for social media.|link=https://twitter.com/tfwiki/status/1136078338706104320|name=Transformers Wiki (Matthew Karpowich)|site=Twitter|year=2019|month=06|day=05}}</ref>–depicting a notable scene from their respective fictional appearance. Backdrops were often repeated between separate figures to represent the same scene, and were rescaled accordingly for toys in different [[size class]]es.

With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same size class; within the Deluxe Class, 18 Bumblebee is shorter than 10 Jazz and 01 Bumblebee, who are in turn shorter than 04 Ratchet and 11 Lockdown.

The toyline boasts greater [[show-accuracy|screen-accuracy]] than previous lines, due its focus on relative scale and its making use of CG models pulled from films or games for reference when possible. This approach does fall short for the initial ''Bumblebee'' and ''Rise of the Beasts'' toys though, as they were designed early in their respective film's development.

====Exclusives====
The earliest exclusives in ''Studio Series'' were hit hard by the bankruptcy of [[Toys"R"Us]] in several countries. Thundercracker was only available for a very short window at TRU, and only in store. Likewise, the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack was also intended for Toys"R"Us, but ultimately only released that way in Canada, which still had Toys"R"Us by the time it came out. Both releases were eventually made available through numerous online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]], [[Entertainment Earth]], ToyWiz, and TFSource.

The Bumblebee Then & Now Two-pack was exclusive to [[Target]] and BigBadToyStore in the United States and to Kmart in Australia. The Bumblebee Vol. 1 Retro Rock Garage set debuted at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018 and was later also made available via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]. The Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway set appears to have been an "online exclusive" shared between the same retailers that offered Thundercracker and Bumblebee/Charlie. We say "appear" because the Retro Pop Highway set was ''also'' available at GameStop stores in the United States, ''and'' both sets were ''also'' listed in Diamond Comic Distributors' ''Previews'' catalog, so really the only "exclusivity" for these appears to be that neither of them is available from [[Walmart]] or Target.

;Asia only
Meanwhile, in Hasbro Asia markets: a special Bumblebee with battle damage deco was [[Campaign item|given away]] to customers who purchased at least 100 SGD of ''Studio Series'' and/or ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' products in Singaporean Toys"R"Us stores; and in China, the purchase of ''Studio Series'' products from Hasbro's official TaoBao online shop on May 15, 2018, entered buyers into a lucky draw with the chance of receiving one of 300 battle damaged Bumblebees or one of 88 Blackouts in camouflage deco.

===2019===
Falling on the tenth anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', the [[2019]] product saw a return of the film's starring combiners, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS32|Jetwing Optimus Prime]] and a hugely ambitious [[Devastator (ROTF)#Studio Series|Devastator]], which necessitated a release over two years.

====Exclusives====
As with the previous year's Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway, the Drift and Baby Dinobots set was available from multiple online retailers. Battle Damaged Megatron was first found stocked by Hong Kong shops, long before it was available both online and in store at Toys"R"Us in Canada and Target in the U.S.

"As Seen In Parks" Megatron was officially exclusive to Universal Studios, but was released (almost a ''year'' after he had been officially revealed) in Hasbro's Asian markets first. Due to the global {{w|COVID-19 pandemic}}, the toy was ended up being released exclusively via online retailers in the U.S.

===2021===
For [[2021]]'s new product, ''Studio Series'' started to include characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', in celebration of the film's 35th anniversary. These toys feature a separate numbering system in Hasbro markets that utilizes "86" before the number of the respective figure. The '86 figures follow the same style, scale and play pattern of those from the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' toyline, complete with [[Fire Blast effect|blast effect]] compatibility and [[5 mm post|5 mm port]]s that can support the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Gnaw also makes the first non-Autobot or Decepticon entry in the toyline.

===2022===
In [[2022]], ''Studio Series'' adopted the Core Class price point that debuted in the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' toyline, producing both characters too small for Deluxe Class as well as pocket-sized versions of the main cast like in [[Legends Class (2005)|days of yore]]. Notably, unlike the larger figures in the line, the toys in the Core Class are not numbered.

2022 also saw the first shift in the line’s packaging design, conforming to Hasbro’s initiative to reduce packaging waste. Box sizes were slightly reduced, with plastic clamshells and windows phased out in favor of decorated cardboard backings and small open windows respectively. Leader Class figures switched to a completely closed box design. Core Classes do not have the display backdrops, but retain the new decorated cardboard backings.

====Exclusives====
2022 saw the first in a line of exclusives themed around [[NEST]] in the online exclusive N.E.S.T. Bumblebee, a new assortment of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxes from Target, and a special commemorative multi-pack of Autobots for the 15th anniversary of ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' available at [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]].

In late 2022, a second wave of ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxes were briefly listed by the wholesaler NDA Toys, with accompanying stock renders, and seemed to fill the pair of conspicuous gaps in the ''Studio Series'' numbering system. A listing for a third wavemate was also discovered months later. Unfortunately, Target opted to cancel their release due to poor sales of the previous wave.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/original-plans-for-individual-releases-of-hatchet-and-earth-mode-hound-were-cancelled/48011/ "Original Plans for Individual Releases of Hatchet and Earth Mode Hound were Cancelled"] at Seibertron.</ref> Hound was eventually released in 2024 for ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' and Hatchet and Bumblebee in 2025 for the main ''Studio Series'' line.

===2023===
''Studio Series'' expanded in scope in [[2023]], not only with toys for ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]''–the first new ''Transformers'' movie since the line's early days–but also into the world of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game. These "Gamer Edition" toys feature unique packaging and a separate numbering system that we've chosen to represent as beginning with a plus (+), though the actual toy packaging stylizes the symbol as a little D-pad. Neat! It also introduced the Commander Class range of figures from ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', starting with Ultra Magnus, who was revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2023 by [[Flint Dille]].

====Exclusives====
There were further releases in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' this year, some of which continued the range of NEST-themed redecoes, and none of which were released in waves or regular assortments. Another ''Transformers'' 15th anniversary set, this time for most of the Decepticons, was available on Amazon.

===2024===
[[2024]] introduced figures marked as "Concept Art" releases–based on character designs created for films which ultimately did not appear in the finished product. ''Bumblebee'', having left a variety of designs on the cutting room floor during its tumultuous post-production, was the primary source for this initial round of "Concept Art" releases. Figures from the unreleased ''[[Transformers: Reactivate]]'' game would also be added under the "Gamer Edition" banner, sharing its numbering system, while the long-running ''The Transformers: The Movie'' Dinobots lineup came to a close this year with Swoop.

Another addition for 2024 was the "A-Level" assortment, a concept being introduced across multiple Hasbro collector lines to distribute toys of high-profile, in-demand characters outside of the normal wave-based assortments, meaning they can remain available for retailers to order (and thus for fans to buy) for a longer period of time. The inaugural ''Studio Series'' A-Level Deluxe Class case was home to the first toy for the concurrent ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' film; taking advantage of the film's standalone nature, Hasbro chose to decrease the scale of its ''Studio Series'' toys for affordability, placing leaders Optimus Prime and Megatron in Deluxe rather than their more typical Voyager or Leader size classes.<ref>[[April 25]], [[2024]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s06YE02e844 Hasbro Pulse Transformers Fanstream | April 2024] on YouTube, with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Mark Maher]], and [[Evan Brooks]].</ref>

Leader Class figures would finally adopt the open-window packaging design of the other size classes this year, while thicker cardboard was used for all boxes aside from the Core Class.

Except for the Deluxes, the first wave was made available early alongside ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Legacy United|Legacy: United]]'' products at [[Singapore Comic Con#2023|Cybertron Fest 2023]].

====Exclusives====
With the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' branding being rotated out of circulation, its signature Target-exclusive cartoon-style redecoes of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toys were released in normal ''Studio Series'' packaging. Another Amazon "15th Anniversary" multipack was released, this time for ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''. Similar to the [[#Exclusives|first year]] of ''Studio Series'', a limited amount of specially painted Optimus Primes were given to people who spent at least HKD$3000 at the Hasbro Hong Kong Fan Expo 2024. There were also Target exclusive reissues of 49 Bumblebee and 51 Soundwave.

===2025===
Beginning with 2025's spring wave, the line's packaging was completely refreshed for the first time, notably seeing a return to plastic windows and the abandonment of the line's signature ID numbers and backdrop displays, on a new design in alignment with the concurrent ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' toyline.<ref>[https://youtu.be/70HJMtOWpk0?list=TLPQMjcxMDIwMjSvhwDwAHRwJQ&t=1092 1027 Hasbro Pulse Premium Event 2024!] with [[Nate Purswell]], [[Evan Brooks]], and [[Mark Maher]], on the official [[Hasbro Pulse]] Youtube channel</ref> In this vein, the unique "Gamer Edition" branding for video game-based toys was removed. ''Studio Series'' also began shifting from four waves per year to three, reducing the amount of repacked figures and allowing more time for each wave to stay on shelves. As part of these changes, 2025's initial winter wave served as a sort of stopgap offering, comprised of multiple [[package refresh]]es (including two previously cancelled ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxe figures!) and redecoes, functioning like an additional wave of 2024 product prior to the spring relaunch.<ref>"Like United wave 5, this wave is somewhat of a last minute addition while being as cost effective as possible, it’s also why we haven’t seen the updated mainline packaging yet because it’s kind of considered a extension of the 2024 lineup."—[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/hasbro-at-mcm-london-comic-con-25-27-october.1268848/page-15#post-22808424 Jtprime17, TFW2005, 2024/10/26]</ref> Tragically, the Core Class was discontinued.

[[2025]] saw another combiner in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' [[Devastator (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Devastator]]. Learning from previous combiner releases, all six Constructicons were scheduled to be released within one calendar year to make them easier to collect. The toyline also saw the addition of the ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]'' video game, celebrating its tenth anniversary.

====Exclusives====
The "MTMTE Collection" is Target's new subline of exclusives in North America, replacing ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''. Overload's product description also labelled it as the "Power Collection." Amazon continued its trend of faction-based "15th anniversary" sets, though such branding has been omitted from this year's packaging.

{{anchor|TakaraTomy}}

==TakaraTomy ''Studio Series'' toyline==
Similar to ''Power of the Primes'', in Takara's '''''Transformers Studio Series''''' (トランスフォーマースタジオシリーズ ''Toransufōmā Sutajio Shirīzu'') line, all figures are identical to their Hasbro counterparts, forgoing Takara's past practice of using more movie-accurate paint jobs. This is most likely due to the line being an official collaboration between Hasbro and [[TakaraTomy]], much like the ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece#Masterpiece Movie Series|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' line. ID numbering differs after number 8 compared to the Hasbro releases, since some of the exclusives are not released in Japan. Introduced to the line in 2021, Takara includes characters from ''The Transformers: The Movie'' in its pre-existing ''Studio Series'' numbering system, whereas Hasbro assigns them ID numbers prefixed by "86". Takara also assigns ID numbers to Core Class figures, which go unnumbered in Hasbro markets. From wave 4 through wave 12, the packages featured the franchise's 35th anniversary logo. Toys would eventually use entirely closed boxes starting with wave 29.

{{note|Toys in italics are exclusive to the TakaraTomy line.}}

Beginning in July 2025, TakaraTomy switched to different packaging, matching Hasbro's switch. With this, it was decided to reset the numbering.

===''Premium Finish''===
{{nav-pf}}
In 2021, TakaraTomy decided to go back to its old ways and launched the short-lived ''[[Transformers Premium Finish|Premium Finish]]'' toyline, featuring re-releases of some ''Studio Series'' figures with much more movie-accurate decoes. This line has its own numbering system, and, with the exception of the first Bumblebee, also notes the figure's movie of origin. ''Premium Finish'' was imported to western markets via [[Hasbro Pulse]].

==Merchandise==
A wearable Bumblebee helmet was released as a Target exclusive, tying into the ''Bumblebee'' film, similar to the Optimus Prime helmet made for ''The Last Knight''. A series of [[Jada Toys]] ''Hollywood Rides'' vehicles were also made to tie into ''Studio Series'', using the toyline's packaging style and even a couple of backdrop artworks.

==Notes==
*In July 2017, photos of a computer screen taken during an internal Hasbro presentation were leaked to the public that revealed, among other things, the very ''existence'' of the ''Studio Series'' general retail line-up, though not the actual title "Studio Series" yet (which was later revealed through separate leaks). The fact that the slides incorrectly featured projected release dates for "2017" instead of 2018 (which included dates ''predating'' the leak) led some fans to assume that the still unannounced line-up had long since been canceled. It wouldn't be until several leaks later that Hasbro ''finally'' acknowledged the existence of the ''Studio Series'' line, and revealed the first few [[wave]]s during New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], even offering a limited quantity of the first wave of Deluxe Class figures as an early release through the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website. Simultaneously, [[TakaraTomy]] revealed their version of the line at [[Wonder Festival]] Winter 2018.
*Among the figures whose existence was revealed through the aforementioned July 2017 leak that were ''not'' officially unveiled at Toy Fair was Voyager Class Ironhide, who made his worldwide debut at retail in Singapore in June 2018. Subsequently, Hasbro announced the redeco of Voyager Class Starscream (based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''), the final figure revealed through the July 2017 leak, via their "[[Hasbro Pulse]]" Instagram account a few days before [[San Diego Comic-Con]], even though they ''still'' hadn't officially acknowledged the existence of Ironhide by that point.
*Like with previous movie-based lines, ''Studio Series'' also assigned code names to at least some of its characters. In 2018, the "theme" for those code names was "Australian race horses":
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Stryker"
:::*Dropkick: "Blue Lightning" or "Blue Light"
:::*Megatron: "Fox"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Radar"
:::*KSI Sentry: "Sentry"
:::*Shadow Raider: "Mercenary"
:::*Shatter: "Red Lightning" or "Red Light"
}}
:The code names of many of the other figures, assuming they even ''had'' code names, are still unknown, as those toys have (thus far) consistently been listed under their actual characters' names. Meanwhile, a listing for a supposed Voyager Class figure using the code name "Destroyer" later turned out to be a mislabeled Energon Igniters Speed Series [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Barricade]] from the [[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|''Bumblebee'' movie toyline]], with which the ''Studio Series'' shares its code names.
*A few of the Deluxes and Voyagers of the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Generations .28Series M4.29|previous]] [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)#Premier Edition|two]] movie toylines scale fairly well with ''Studio Series'' figures. To this extent, [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 5|a]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#ThirdTLKDeluxe|few]] [[Nitro Zeus#Toys|molds]] [[Cogman#Deluxe|were]] also redecoed in this toyline as well [[Nitro Zeus#Toys|as a]] [[Drift (AOE)#Premier Edition|few]] [[Berserker#Toys|retools]]. Furthermore, the static figurine of [[Quintessa (TLK)#Toys|Quintessa]] scales well among these toys and also seems to serve as an inspiration for later pack-in figurines like [[Wheelie (ROTF)#Studio Series|Wheelie]], [[Brains#Studio Series|Brains]] and the [[Mini Dinobot#Toys|Mini Dinobot]]s.
*To tie-in with the launch of the toyline in 2018, the ''Studio Series'' branding and packaging design (including the backdrop artworks but not the ID numbers) were used by [[Jada Toys#Studio Series|Jada Toys]] on their vehicle mode replicas of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Studio Series|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/merchandise#Studio Series|Bumblebee]] based on the first live-action movie, though the same replicas were also released in more generic-looking packagings that lack the ''Studio Series'' branding altogether.
*One of the biggest [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|misconceptions]] surrounding the ''Studio Series'' toyline is that there is a [[Subline imprint|subline]] called "Studio Series 86". This came about from leaked listings on Walmart's website where the number "86" was misinterpreted as part of the toyline's title, rather than the ID numbers of those toys. While the toys based on characters from the [[1986]] movie do feature a separate numbering system, the line itself doesn't acknowledge them as being any different from the live-action movie toys they are sold alongside.
**While it has never been confirmed, the move to include 1986 characters in the ''Studio Series'' toyline after three years of continuous focus on the live-action films, was likely done to allow Hasbro and TakaraTomy to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the film, without stepping on the toes of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' 25th anniversary, which was celebrated as a part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''. Evidence suggesting this is the inclusion of some of the film's main characters ([[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Cyclonus]], [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Galvatron]]) being sold in the concurrently-ran ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' toyline and the shared design aesthetics of the toys between both lines.
*Due to the cancellation of Hound, the toyline's numbering system is missing 86-18. Additionally, 79, 86-13, 86-20, 95, and 96 are only assigned to the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' version of the line.
**74 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee and 102 ''Rise of the Beasts'' Optimus Prime are the only toys so far to be re-released in the regular line after debuting in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''.
**TakaraTomy's version of the line has skipped over "72" for unknown reasons.
**Junkion Scrapheap and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Ironhide both use the 86-24 number. Optimus Prime and Galvatron also share the number 86-31.
**Hatchet's original ID number for his cancelled ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' release was 94. When he was finally released 2 years later, his packaging had the number 117, but his product description and instructions still used 94, making him the first figure to possess two numbers at once.
**The original ID number for the cancelled Bumblebee from the same wave is unknown, as there are no other gaps that it might have occupied. The main line release was given the number 116.
*The instructions of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' "[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Worlds Collide]]" set mistakenly label it as part of ''Studio Series'', under the ''Transformers'' movie.
*The introduction of the "Gamer Edition" banner led Hasbro to review the full back catalogue of [[video games]] they retained ownership over, including more esoteric options, such as the [[Family Computer|Nintendo Famicom]] ''[[Transformers: Mystery of Convoy]]'' or the [[Nintendo 64]] ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals (N64)|Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals]]!''<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Pretty much all of it.

[[File:High jump cardart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Don't make me clench this fist. Nobody wants Mr. Fisty to come out and play."]]
Asking '''Highjump''' to stick to the rules is like asking water to run uphill. He's the most "cloak and dagger" of the [[Off Road Patrol]], happily ignoring battle protocol whenever it's convenient, especially on those missions that Autobot command never sanctioned in the first place. One would think that this puts him at odds with his by-the-books Patrol leader [[Powertrain]], but the two actually get along very well. Highjump's infiltration skills are beyond question, and he does the regrettable dirty work that sometimes needs to be done to make a mission succeed.<ref>''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' #3</ref>

====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
[[File:Off road patrol king con.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5]]
Highjump and the Off Road Patrol were created on Cybertron as the first wave of Micromasters. They developed a taste for insubordination however, which may have been part of the reason [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]] agreed to send them to Earth instead, as reinforcements for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s diminished army aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. Not in a position to turn away free troops after many of his own had [[Underbase Saga|recently fallen]], Prime accepted the Micromasters and informed them on a pair of recent news reports involving giant creatures spotted in the [[New Jersey (Earth)|New Jersey]] swamps and unusual storm activity consolidating over Manhattan. Believing there was a Decepticon link between the stories, the Off-Road Patrol took to the swamps to seek out any clues. When [[Mudslinger (G1)|Mudslinger]] found the Decepticon [[Pretender]]s running a weather-control device, the alerted his teammates and the battle was joined. Highjump and [[Tote]] used a trip-line to send [[Skullgrin]] flying, and the weather machine was destroyed. Unfortunately, the forces of nature were too far along to stop, and the storm itself continued to rage. Luckily, the [[Race Car Patrol]] were able to stop the Decepticons from collecting the storm's energies in the [[New York City|Big Apple]], foiling their plot utterly. After the mission's completion, the Micromasters regrouped at the base of the [[Empire State Building]], where Optimus offered to pick them up, so they could avoid any trouble from the local law enforcement agents. The Micromasters refused Optimus's help, preferring to instead act as an independent unit and deal with such matters their own way. {{storylink|King Con!}}

Having saved Manhattan from destruction, the Micromasters became local celebrities and vigilantes, helping to clean up the streets. When [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]] of the Race Cars got to be too popular as a pro wrestler (long story), [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]] of the Decepticons tried to take him down a peg, sending the [[Air Strike Patrol|Decepticon Micromaster Air Strike Patrol]] to kidnap his fan club before a big match against [[Storm Cloud (G1)|Storm Cloud]].

: Together with the [[Air Strike Patrol]] and the [[Race Car Patrol]], the Off Road Patrol was released by Hasbro in late 1988 (basically, a case of "next year product" being released at the end of the old year), in packaging that differed from the "proper" 1989 Micromasters' redesigned packaging (silver cards and boxes featuring an all-new "Transformers" logo) by retaining a variation of the faction-specific color-coded gradient background on the card and featuring a unique "Micro Transformers" title in a variation of the old, pre-1989 "Transformers" logo. This same basic packaging design was also used for Canada (albeit bilingual English/French) and parts of Europe (bilingual French/Dutch, and Italian-only packaging distributed by [[GiG]]). However, a variant of sorts featuring the later 1989 packaging design also exists, and was released (in English-only packaging) in the United Kingdom, where it was sold at Woolworth's stores.

{{picsneeded|toy, fiction in armor}}
[[File:Hotwire and Lube no armor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Hotwire is in the red shirt.]]

'''Hotwire''' is a reformed thief and skilled mechanic. He uses his skills to help keep his Powermaster partner, [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]], running smoothly.

The old Hotwire had a lot in common with thrill-seeking Joyride, and the similarity has not escaped the Nebulan. Much like [[Hi-Q]] saw the good in him, Hotwire strives to temper some of Joyride's excesses and make him a better bot. He grudgingly accepts that Joyride tends to ignore much of his efforts, but he has to believe that if he turned out all right then everybody has a chance to make good.<ref>''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)|The Transformers Universe]]'' profile for Joyride and Hotwire in [[Rhythms of Darkness!|''The Transformers'' #67]]</ref>

==Fiction==
===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
{{noteukonly}}
Early in life, Hotwire had many run-ins with Nebulon law enforcement for car theft. His life changed when [[Hi-Q]] saw potential in him an put him to work in the [[Hi-Q Industrial Research Complex]]. {{storylink|The Transformers Universe|Joyride's ''Universe'' profile}}

After the first group of Transformer visitors left [[Nebulos]], Hi-Q (working at the request of the [[Council of Peers]]) irradiated the planet's fuel supply so that it was poisonous to robots. Hotwire was at Hi-Q's side when this process was implemented.

Later, Hotwire was helping fix an [[electrostatic oscillator]], gloating that he could do it blindfolded, much to Lube's annoyance. Their task was interrupted when [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]], [[Getaway]], [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]], and [[Slapdash (G1)|Slapdash]] arrived to ask [[Hi-Q]] for help rebuilding [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]. The Autobots were warned that if they used Nebulon fuel they would freeze up and eventually die. Eventually Optimus Prime was rebuilt and Hi-Q decided to become his Powermaster partner in order to save his life and to defend Nebulos against [[Darkwing (G1)|Darkwing]] and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] (who were already Powermasters). Following his example, Hotwire quickly volunteered to be partnered to Joyride.

The new Autobot Powermasters defeated Darkwing and Dreadwind. [[Hi-Test (G1)|Hi-Test]] and [[Throttle (G1)|Throttle]] were banished from Nebulos, so they took off with their partners.

The Powermaster process altered the circuitry of the Autobots to the point where they could not be separated from their partners. They had to stick together, but, for the sake of Nebulon peace, the Autobots could not remain there. So they all left on the ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'' to meet up with the other Autobots, leaving their friend [[Kari]] behind. {{storylink|People Power!}}

In transit to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] Optimus Prime filled the Nebulons in on the [[Great War (G1)|Autobot/Decepticon war]]. The history lesson was interrupted by a transmission advertising the "[[Cosmic Carnival]]." Optimus and Goldbug investigated the show upon learning that their fellow Autobot [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] was part of the line-up, though the rest of the crew did not join them; the Cosmic Carnival had a very steep entrance fee, and they didn't have the currency to spare. {{storylink|The Cosmic Carnival}}

''Shortly after the group arrived on Earth, Hotwire was present during a brief skirmish with the Autobots' [[Advance Surveillance Unit]]; after the latter three had accidentally trampled the town of [[Border Flats]] while trying to join in a Christmas celebration, the Powermasters had headed out to retaliate against what they had assumed to be a Decepticon attack. The misunderstanding was quickly cleared up.'' {{storylink|Cold Comfort and Joy!}}

''On another occasion, the Powermasters attempted to retrieve a vital power cell from [[Dreadwing (G1)|Dreadwing]], who had crashed into the ocean. The power cell was necessary in order to save the life of a human injured during the Transformers' war. While their binary-bonded partners kept the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]] at bay, Hotwire and his fellow Nebulans pried open Dreadwing's cockpit and stole back the power cell from Hi-Test and Throttle.'' {{storylink|Dreadwing Down!}}

''Hotwire accompanied Joyride and the other Autobot Powermasters on a mission to guard an [[Alternate Reality, Inc.]] warehouse, where Optimus Prime has left behind a [[floppy disk]] containing a copy of his mind. Shortly after they had taken up the task, [[Darkwing (G1)|Darkwing]] and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] attacked. The Autobots were forced into scrambling for cover, allowing Darkwing access to the building while Dreadwind remained on the offensive. Realizing that they were failing at their task, the three Autobots made a mad dash for the building, in the hopes that at least one of them would make it inside before Dreadwind took them out. Despite Hotwire's best efforts as his partner's engine, Joyride was unable to outpace Dreadwind, and wound up getting roasted by the jet's [[thermal melter]]s. Ultimately, the team was unable to prevent the Decepticons from taking off with the disk.'' {{storylink|Prime Bomb!}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
Hotwire was a [[Cyberdroid]] businesswoman working out of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. Her shop, [[Hotwire's]], provided services of body work, body art, and more exotic modifications to a select clientele. Relatively legit (sort of), Hotwire still served the various crews of the criminal underground often enough that the [[Maximal Command Security Force]] had her name in numerous files.

While investigating the death of the Builder named [[Twirl (G1)|Twirl]], [[Wolfang (Maximal)|Wolfang]] noted her altered paint job and paid a visit to ''Hotwire's'' for more information. After being pressed, Hotwire allowed Wolfang to interview the bodywork specialist [[Lube]] about the victim. After Lube tipped Wolfang that Twirl had been on her way to [[The Way Of All Things]], Hotwire politely ended the interrogation of her employee.

Only much later in the investigation did Wolfang learn Twirl was a [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] in hiding after the [[Targetmaster Extirpation|Extirpation]], and Hotwire was responsible for the flying body-mod disguise she used to hide her true alt-form. {{storylink|Trigger Warnings}}

Hotwire accompanied [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]] as the Autobot Powermasters went out for a drive. They were shocked to encounter the Decepticon Powermasters, and Hotwire assumed his engine mode to allow Joyride to transform and fight back against their aggressors. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Powermasters|Powermasters commercial}}

In this form, he can fit into the engine socket of any Autobot Powermaster mold, unlocking its transformation from vehicle to robot mode. (He ''can'' fit into Decepticon sockets, but will not unlock their transformation.)

When you break down the personality of '''Fastlane''' (aka '''Fastclash'''), he doesn't come off sounding very good. He's a totally immature, reckless, thrill-seeking show off. Surprising then to find that he's quite well liked by both humans and Autobots. The fact is there's just no malice in Fastlane's antics, he's mischievous at worst and his stunts are usually quite entertaining to watch. His most daring stunts can be a bit dangerous to others who happen to be nearby (he once caused a HUGE accident on Cybertron by doing a 360 in confining heavy traffic at 500 miles per hour) but no one's ever been really hurt by them except for Fastlane himself when he pushes his design just a little too far.

Fastlane is the younger clone brother of [[Cloudraker (G1)|Cloudraker]].

Fastlane and Cloudraker were once friends with another pair of Cybertronian Clones named [[Pounce]] and [[Wingspan]]. The two duos lost contact with each other for some time, during which Pounce and Wingspan joined the Decepticons. Fastlane and Cloudraker were confronted by their old friends, who were looking to take a golden skull from their Autobot counterparts and use it to collect a unique energy source from the [[Pirate Planet]]. While trying to keep the skull from the Decepticon Clones, Fastlane and his brother made contact with the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] aboard the Battleship Maximus. {{storylink|Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship}}

The Clones accompanied the Headmasters back to Earth, and remained there allied with [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] when [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] took his men to defend the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]]. As the Decepticons began a series of attacks around the globe, Spike dispatched Fastlane, Cloudraker, and the [[Throttlebot]]s to Santiago, Chile to investigate the emergence of one of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s Death Towers. They were thoroughly trounced by [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], who was guarding the tower. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}}

====''Legends'' comic====
In [[2021]], the ever-reckless Fastlane ended up stealing a data disc from the [[Universal Peace Alliance]] containing evidence that their chairman, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]], had been supplanted by an impostor. Labeled criminals by the Alliance as a result, the Clones fled to the [[Legends World]] where they were confronted by the fake Spike and [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], and while Fastlane was initially able to escape when they mistook Cloudraker for him, he changed his mind and came back to help his brother. When the actions of "Spike" caused Hound to realize he was fake, Fastlane took the opportunity to uncover his disguise, revealing him to be the evil [[Cobra Commander|Old Snake]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 58|Bonus Edition Vol. 58}} When Pounce and Wingspan arrived in the Legends World, stole three [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] and defeated [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], Fastlane and Cloudraker battled them and successfully released the smaller robots from their grasp.

Following the destruction of Cybertron's [[energon]] supply by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], Cloudraker and Fastlane were on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s team for a mission to destroy the [[Nullification Cannon]]. The two clones dealt with [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]] by luring him through a door and then clocking him on the head with a metal bar. Once the coast was clear, Optimus insisted on going on alone. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

Fastlane and Cloudraker served as security officers for [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] inside the [[Garrus-9]] penitentiary. When the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] raided the facility, the clones fought alongside [[Jetfire (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jetfire]] and the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], but ultimately failed to prevent the Decepticons from making off with the [[Pretender Monster|Monstructor Six]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}} Fastlane took a serious blast through the chest during the fight and probably needed significant repair work. {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}} He was back in action some time later, when he inspected [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s corpse along with his brother. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

Following the end of war, Fastlane and Cloudraker returned to Cybertron and were seen hanging out at the [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]]-run [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]]. {{storylink|Night and the City}} When the Autobots were banished from [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], the two brothers chose to go [[neutral]] and remain in the city, where Fastlane later arrested [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] for seemingly sabotaging the city's power lines. {{storylink|Three Monologues}}

When [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] attacked Cybertron, Fastlane and Cloudraker were part of the [[Autobot fleet]] operating under [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattershot]]'s command that scrambled to meet the Chaos Bringer, only to find their path barred by the mutated [[Decepticon Vengeance Division]]. Though they fought well, they were ultimately destroyed by the flagship [[Worldsweeper]], their deaths prompting [[Victorion]] to try and kill [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]. {{storylink|Our Finest}}

When the Autobots staged an assault on [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] and the [[Hub (G2)|Hub Network]], Fastlane landed on the surface with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and his strike team. After the Cybertronians lulled the Autobots into a false sense of security, they attacked with renewed vigor, sending the surface-bound Autobots racing for cover. Fastlane and [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] attempted to draw fire away from the others, but ultimately the Autobots fell. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 3}}

====''Transformers '84''====
[[File:VikingsVsClones_TF84.jpg|upright=1.7|thumb|left|"I'm seein' double! FOUR men of iron!"]]

Fastlane and Cloudraker piloted the ship ''[[Mantlo]]'' in search of the missing ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]''. Their quest took them to many worlds before arriving on Earth, where it was [[1017|the year 1017]] by the reckoning of [[United Kingdom|the land they ended up crashing in]] due to atmospheric hazards. The two immediately disembarked and sped off to continue their search, unaware that a Decepticon party had been following them through the last six star systems and nineteen planets. This party included [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]], who was under secret orders from Optimus Prime, given before the ''Ark''ʼs launch, to make sure Megatron remained isolated from Cybertron by any and all means. And those Decepticons weren't the only ones on the ''Mantlo''ʼs tail: Its fiery atmospheric entry that night had been noticed by humans in the nearby [[Stansham Castle]], a small group of whom investigated the crash site the next day. And those humans, in turn, were followed by soldiers from [[Godwin the Strongarm|a Viking army]] that had been besieging the castle.

The human scouts discovered the ''Mantlo'' and had barely enough time to ponder what "devilry" was afoot before they were ambushed by their rivals. Fastlane and Cloudraker, on their way back to their ship, found their passage blocked by the battle. At first they stayed concealed in the trees, following Autobot non-engagement regulations. But as they observed the fight, they deemed it an uneven one in favor of the ambushers and decided to intervene on behalf of the "underdog" group. Emerging from the woods and smacking at least one of the soldiers terrified the [[Viking]]s, one of whom declared their cause lost if [[Canute|their enemy]] was in league with "{{w|Niflheim}}-spawned abominations". They ran away and the other humans immediately gave chase, but before the clones to could continue on their way to the ship, they were attacked by the [[Duocon]]s and Counterpunch. Though outnumbered, the clones' [[Gravity-rod rifle|gravity-rod]] and [[sonic boom rifle]]s made short work of the Decepticons – but Cloudraker was critically wounded by one of [[Flywheels]]' [[missile]]s. Cradling his brother, Fastlane ran back to the ''Mantlo'' to give him [[CR chamber|CR]] treatment. He also took the ship airborne again, but as it lifted off, Counterpunch took a shot at it to prevent them from finding the ''Ark'', per his mission. He scored a direct hit, and the craft plummeted. While Cloudraker lay unconscious on a medical table, Fastlane desperately tried to radio for aid. Then the ship crashed again, this time directly into Stansham Castle. {{storylink|Transformers '84 issue 0|'84 #0}}

====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{main|Man of Iron (G1)}}
{{note|The characters in the summary below were not originally intended to be Fastlane and Cloudraker, but were [[retcon]]ned as such by ''Transformers '84''. The following is written from the perspective of the retcon.}}
[[File:Man_of_iron_and_knights.jpg|thumb|''Heavy boots of lead Fills his victims full of dread'']]

An old chronicle records that in the year 1017, as Godwin's forces had just battered down the main gate of Stansham Castle, the ground shook and a giant "[[Man of Iron (G1)|man of iron]]" appeared amongst them. The soldiers were terrified, and their weapons did nothing against the apparition. The metal figure strode in the direction of a nearby abbey, firing warning shots at those who tried to follow him, until [[Aethelric|a priest]] put himself in his path and urged him to go back from whence he came. The man of iron turned and went off into [[Stanewood]]. As time passed, he was seen three times in total before the modern day, each occurrence preceded by an earth tremor.

[[File:Man of iron death.jpg|left|thumb|''Is he live or dead? Has he thoughts within his head?'']]

The humans had no idea this was Fastlane, his outer armor removed, continuing to scout from his base of the buried ''Mantlo'' while Cloudraker remained comatose within. When the ''Ark'' inhabitants awoke of their own accord in the modern day, Fastlane was apparently unaware at first. But his distress signal had continued to beam out, attracting both Autobot and Decepticon attention. [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] flew over Stansham Castle, dropping a bomb-like probe. The Autobots, meanwhile, made clandestine contact with [[Sammy Harker|the son of the castle's curator]]. And the regional human military, spooked by mysterious jets having strafed the castle, led an investigation that ended up unearthing part of the buried ship.

Then one afternoon another telltale earth tremor struck as Fastlane spontaneously emerged from an elevator mechanism in a hillside. He fired at a military truck that happened to be driving right toward him, blowing it up as its occupants ran to safety. Then a [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] suddenly appeared and barraged him with rockets, destroying him. This was followed by an all-out battle between numerous Autobots and Decepticons, ending with the Autobots victorious and Optimus ordering the buried ship's destruction, in keeping with the mission he had given to Punch millions of years prior. [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] dutifully vaporized the ''Mantlo'' in a massive implosion, not realizing he was killing Cloudraker within. {{storylink|Man of Iron (issue)|Man of Iron}}

: Released in the fourth year of Hasbro's US ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' toyline (third year in Europe and in Takara's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' line), [[Clone (subgroup)|Autobot Clone]] Fastlane transforms into a futuristic dragster. His robot mode is (mostly) identical to his Clone brother [[Cloudraker (G1)#Toys|Cloudraker]] (from the front at least), with the resemblance enhanced by removing the spoiler from the back of his robot mode. Fastlane also has two heat-sensitive [[rubsign]]s on his torso: the one on his groin reveals the traditional Autobot symbol, while the one on his chest reveals a dragster image, indicating which Clone he is. This is especially useful for those times when you can't just turn him over and see the giant wheels on his backside.

: The [[The Transformers (Chinese toyline)|Chinese release]] of Fastlane, released in 1993, lacks the "car" rubsign, which has been replaced with a foil Autobot insignia sticker.

: There are two ways to store his "sonic boom rifles" in vehicle mode: the first is the intended way, which is by plugging them into the ports located on either side of the front of the vehicle mode; the other is how he was depicted in the [[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|''Headmasters'' anime]], which requires you to leave the hands flipped out, and plugging the rifles into them, so that they are located higher up.

: He was only available in a two-pack with his brother/fellow Clone, Cloudraker.

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' '''Fastclash''' (renamed due to [[trademark]] issues) transforms from robot to futuristic dragster, and is heavily based on his original Generation 1 toy. Any [[Titan Master]]s can ride in the vehicle mode by simply putting them onto the flip-up "seat" between his arms. Fastclash transforms in very few steps and has very little in the way of securing anything in his dragster mode outside of his ankles and hands. He also has shifting hip joints, but these are designed for the eventual [[Cloudraker (G1)#Titans Return|Cloudraker]] retool, and thus serve no purpose on this toy. As with all four of the clones in this line, Fastclash has a (non-heat-sensitive) painted symbol evoking his original "dragster" rubsign.

: Whilst advertised as a Legends Class figure, [[Hasbro]] representatives at [[Toy Fair 2017]] explained that his size/complexity is a little greater than what is possible in the retail Legends assortment. In truth, his size is easily comparable to a standard Legends Class figure, while his engineering is actually ''more'' simple.

: He was only available in the "Chaos on Velocitron" boxset that includes [[Dynamus#Generations|Dynamus]] & [[Quickswitch#Generations|Quickswitch]], [[Refractor#Generations|Refractor]] & [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#ChaosOnVelocitron|Laser Prime]], [[Parsec#Generations|Parsec]] & [[Nautica (G1)#Generations|Autobot Nautica]], and a [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#ChaosOnVelocitron|Rodimus Prime]] Titan Master head. The set was officially announced by Hasbro to be a [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]], and was sold at stores in the United States, Canada, and Hasbro's Asian markets (such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong). Despite this, it later became available via [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] in the United States (but not in Canada) as well, actually sold by Amazon directly (as compared to a third-party seller).

'''Megatron brings Cybertron into Earth's orbit to harvest the energy from the destruction caused by Cybertron's gravity.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:Sparkplugkidnapped.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|"Kidnapping humans will be simplicity itself, thanks to my new, Transformers-sized crane game."]]
[[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Skywarp]] attack a solar power station off [[India]]'s [[Malabar Coast]]. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]], [[Jazz (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Jazz]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Sunstreaker]] arrive in time to intercept them. Watching this battle remotely are [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and the evil human scientist [[Doctor Arkeville]]. Megatron orders [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] to begin phase two of Operation Guinea Pig, which involves setting [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Ravage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ravage]] loose inside [[Ark (G1)|Autobot headquarters]]. With the [[Autobot]]s distracted by Rumble's rumbling, [[Laserbeak (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Laserbeak]] flies in, nabs [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]] and flies out.

Back in India, the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] suddenly take flight and retreat. Prime smells a rat, then Sunstreaker tells him of the attack on their headquarters.

[[File:TFG1TUD1.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|"I love the Power Glove. It's so bad."]]
After bringing Sparkplug to [[Decepticon]] headquarters, Doctor Arkeville fits him with a mind-control device called a [[hypno-chip]] which brings him into the Decepticons' control. As a means of demonstrating the new technology, Sparkplug is made to attack a full-sized replica of Optimus Prime. Megatron intends to use this technology to create an army of human slaves. With the successful completion of the first part of his plan, Megatron communicates with [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]] to confirm that the new [[space bridge]] is ready.

The Autobots attack the Decepticon undersea base to rescue Sparkplug. Optimus Prime leads a direct attack from above while [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cliffjumper]], [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] tunnel under the ocean floor. The mission is successful, and the Autobots return him to their base. After undergoing repairs, the Autobots and Spike notice that Sparkplug is acting oddly, but before they can learn why, the Decepticons launch a surprise attack. [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike]] realizes that Sparkplug has sabotaged the Autobots' weapons and [[Teletraan I]], which let the Decepticons in undetected.

When Spike confronts his father, Sparkplug appeals to Spike to join the Decepticons. Spike refuses, and Sparkplug tells his son that when they next meet, they will be enemies. In a desperate effort to salvage the situation, Spike sets off the [[fire-retardant foam]]. This clogs the Decepticons' weapons, and Megatron orders a retreat. Sparkplug willingly goes with them.

[[File:Spikesparkandark.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Snow Miser tunes in to his favorite show, ''The Witwickys''.]]
At the space bridge site, Megatron reveals that he intends to bring [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] into Earth orbit using the bridge. The gravity of Cybertron will cause natural disasters, and the Decepticons plan to harvest the vaguely-defined "energy" this will somehow create, and transport it to Cybertron. Arkeville isn't too keen on this idea, but Megatron says it's a new problem for the evil scientist to solve using his genius intellect.

Using the [[Sky Spy]], the Autobots see the giant space bridge and [[roll out]] to investigate. When they attack the bridge site, Megatron releases a group of human slaves to act as shields. The ploy works, and things get even more complicated when the humans attack the Autobots with sticks and stones.

Spike stops Sparkplug from attacking Bumblebee, and for a moment it appears that Sparkplug is back to normal. But Arkeville recomputes his signal, and Sparkplug is again under Decepticon control. He rushes to the first space bridge pylon and activates it. Thundercracker activates the second.

Optimus Prime chases Megatron up to the third pylon and wrestles him away from the button. Megatron orders Prime to turn on the pylon himself, or else he will be responsible for catapulting Cybertron into oblivion. Unwilling to sacrifice his home planet, Optimus Prime activates the space bridge, bringing Cybertron into Earth's orbit, but wonders if he is dooming Earth in the process.

'''Skywarp''': You waste more energy with your mouth!
:—More heart-warming Decepticon camaraderie.

"I've got the plan, if all of you've got the cast-iron [[manifold]]s for it!"

===Continuity notes===
[[File:UltimateDoom1 Optimus on hydrofoils.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
*This episode is one of several that gets a narrative opening from [[Victor Caroli]].
[[File:TUD1 Brawn drilling.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|With that drill... take us to the heavens!]]
[[File:TUD1 Cliffjumper depth gauge.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|And now, on with the countdown.]]
*Gadgets and powers:
**The Autobots make their first use of [[hydrofoil]]s in this episode, newly installed by Wheeljack. More than most, these gadgets would show up in [[Dinobot Island, Part 2|many]] [[Atlantis, Arise!|future]] [[City of Steel (episode)|episodes]].
**Ironhide retracts his hand and out comes... a toilet plunger lookin' thing. He uses it to locate the center of Rumble's seismic disturbance, with the results displaying on his chest windows (not unlike his sonadar sensors).
**Sideswipe was getting ready to fire a flare from his hand weapon. He was interrupted by Ravage. Flares are mentioned in Sideswipe's [[bio]].
**Optimus Prime's chest windows light up, indicating an attack on Autobot Headquarters.
**Brawn has a vehicle mode tunneling drill. It'll show up again in "[[The Immobilizer]]".
**Cliffjumper has a depth gauge that emerges from his vehicle-mode hood.
**Sunstreaker fires a missile from his wrist at Megatron.
**Thundercracker fires a rocket from his forearm in the same way he did in "[[Divide and Conquer]]".
**Cliffjumper fires his [[glass gas]] like a regular laser beam from his hand gun.
**Ratchet uses the same retractable wrist-welder he had in "[[Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion]]".
**This time, it's the blue button on Megatron's stomach that acts as his radio transmitter.
*Once again, evidence that Cybertron is actually outside the Milky Way galaxy: Optimus describes the apex of the space bridge as being "beyond this galaxy".
*For those who wonder how humans can breathe on Cybertron, this episode offers some relief: the final scenes clearly show Cybertron sucking up a chunk of Earth's atmosphere. Of course, this doesn't cover Chip Chase's earlier visit to the planet in "[[Divide and Conquer]]".
*Also, it may just be perspective, but when we see Earth and Cybertron in the same shot, Cybertron looks almost comedically tiny - arguably a justification for it having buildings which are visible from orbit. That just raises questions about how it manages to siphon a visible chunk of the atmosphere, though.

===Real-world references===
*The Seekers attack a solar power plant off {{w|Malabar Coast}}, which is located in southern {{w|India}}.
*As [[The Transformers: The Movie|always]], when there's a {{w|American Top 40|countdown}} of any kind, it's given to Cliffjumper, thanks to being voiced by [[Casey Kasem]].
*Is Windcharger's line "This must be the place!" a reference to {{w|This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)|the Talking Heads song}} that came out just two years prior? Or would you have to be naive to think that?
*Brawn plays a reverse lifeguard: "Everybody into the pool!"
*''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' sound effects:
**The sound of an igniting [[lightsaber]] is repurposed for Cliffjumper's glass gas beam.
**As Spike flees the battle in Autobot Headquarters, the background laser effects include the sound of the [[Death Star]]'s turbolasers firing at the [[Rebel Alliance|Rebel]] fighters.
**The fritzed-out Autobots get the sound of [[Darth Vader]] and [[Obi-Wan Kenobi|Ben Kenobi]]'s lightsabers locking and sparking in their fight aboard the Death Star. The sound is recycled when Spike shorts out Teletraan I a second later.
===Technical or animation glitches===
*The Maharaja says that his solar panels are collecting three hundred energy units per second. Typical government inflation! The screen says it's ''thirty'' units per second.
[[File:UltimateDoom1 Indian maharaja.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
*For an Indian, that Maharaja ''sure'' does look like a Caucasian.
*Coloring errors:
**Skywarp has Thundercracker's colors as he blasts his way into the palace.
**As the Autobots enter the water, Sunstreaker is [[Spin-Out (G1)|colored red]] instead of yellow.
**As Rumble transforms, Soundwave's open chest cavity is colored light blue, as if it were closed. His open chest panel is colored dark blue, as if it weren't there!
**Starscream's face is light gray instead of medium gray as he and the other Seekers ride the elevator into Decepticon HQ.
**Starscream's air intake is light gray instead of red as he and the other jets wait for Megatron.
**As he dives back out of Decepticon HQ, Cliffjumper is colored as Bumblebee.
**When Dr. Arkeville insists that Sparkplug has "no choice" during the attack on the Autobot base, the background is Autobot orange instead of Decepticon purple. The same coloring error occurs during the scene at the energy pylons, when Arkeville mentions having to "recompute the control codes."
**While transforming after arriving at the Space Bridge, Optimus Prime has the gray stripe in his truck mode, and the stripe changes to red as he finishes the transformation. Usually that is done the other way; with no gray stripe in truck mode, but a gray stripe in his robot mode.
*Prime has a sloped windscreen as he and the other Autobots drive through the jungle (repeating an error from "[[Divide and Conquer]]".)
*Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] is drawn pretty badly repeatedly throughout this episode. The front barrel is often drawn at less than half the size it should be. (See the picture further up this page for an example). Apparently size isn't important after all.
*Improbable viewpoints:
**Megatron gets a stationary view of the Autobots charging into the Maharaja's palace. Did Starscream and company spend their time there setting up a camera for him?
**He also gets a view of Soundwave hanging around outside Autobot Headquarters. (Clearly, the Autobots have [[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1|no security]] at this point.)
**As Sparkplug works to sabotage the Autobots, Dr. Arkeville gets footage from ''inside'' Autobot Headquarters! We can ''maybe'' let this one slide and say that Sparkplug set up a video feed or something.
**Then Arkeville gets a view that's clearly coming from Teletraan I itself! (Actually, that would explain both viewpoints.)
**The [[Sky Spy]] gets what is essentially a ground-level view of the Decepticon energy pylons.
**Megatron doesn't seem to be leaning over a console or anything as the Autobots arrive at the space bridge, but Arkeville still gets a full view of him from Decepticon Headquarters.
**Arkeville then gets a view from right next to Sparkplug as he talks with Spike during the battle.
*As Soundwave salutes, most of his body shifts around a bit, but his chestplate remains completely still.
*Soundwave has a purple Autobot symbol as he ejects Laserbeak. Once his cassette door is open, its inside face is colored solid dark blue, instead of the light blue that it should be.
*Most of Laserbeak's caws and cries are not electronically modulated, though his usual electronic trill does show up a few times.
*Sideswipe's leg clips through Spike as he joins them in watching Rumble.
*Sideswipe's gun vanishes as he bashes Ravage aside.
*Laserbeak grabs Sparkplug from a metal-paneled interior space, yet immediately flies right out of the volcano's cone. As Spike looks up after Laserbeak, he's suddenly standing against a rock background.
*After the Autobots in India realize they have been duped, Sunstreaker says "We were set up!", but in Prowl's voice. A similar goof happened in "[[Roll for It]]".
*Either a line was cut, or [[Frank Welker]] misparsed one of Megatron's lines; he says "It had ''better'' function" in regards to the hypno-chip... when nobody had previously been discussing the chips at all.
*The outer edges of Bumblebee's face are supposed to be white, but they're colored yellow as he consoles Spike.
*The animation of Shockwave talking to Megatron is recycled from "[[Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion]]", complete with its strange brightly-lit background and awkward shadow, and Shockwave's incomplete arms. The establishing shot of this conversation has Megatron appearing to "hover" in front of the screen and gently descend as Shockwave speaks. This is weird.
*Prowl drives into the air at the cliff edge before transforming.
*Brawn's front grill just phases right through his giant [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] drill as it folds back up.
*Appearing/disappearing Autobots:
**Prime's strike team includes Prowl, Hound, Jazz, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack, and Bumblebee. During the underwater battle, Gears appears for a single shot.
**As Bumblebee says his "biggest space bridge ever" line, the shot changes, and he's been replaced by a misshapen Hound.
*As Optimus Prime flies to the Decepticon Space bridge, just after Megatron points his arm cannon at him, Optimus ducks to the side, and his face guard vanishes for a split second.
*Whatever damage Cliffjumper did to the inside of Decepticon Headquarters has disappeared by the time Autobots take their exit.
*After Starscream, soaking wet with seawater, emerges from the hole made by Cliffjumper's glass gas, there is a moment where his animation freezes... including the dripping water, which is suspended in mid-air.
*In a pan across the interior of Autobot Headquarters, there are two Prowls.
*One of them is drawn working on Jazz. Since when is Prowl a mechanic?
*In the same shot, Ratchet's mouth is missing as he works on Sunstreaker.
*A layering goof (or cheap shortcut) has Sparkplug's arms not actually reaching into the open panel on Wheeljack's back where he's supposed to be working.
*As Ratchet protests Sparkplug's attempt to work on Optimus, it's suddenly Prowl who he is repairing, rather than Sunstreaker (and despite Prowl being up and about a few shots ago).
*After Prime falls, suddenly it's Jazz laying on the table by Ratchet, with Bluestreak standing over him.
*Sparkplug's wrench looks different between shots, losing its round bolt wrench end in some shots.
*When the Decepticons are showered with foam at the Ark, the shot cuts from Thundercracker to Skywarp by simply changing the colors on the character.
*When Starscream flies to the space bridge, his alt mode is noticeably misshapen. His transformation is amazingly off, as well.
*As Optimus takes aim at Megatron for the second time ("It's not over yet, Megatron!"), his faceplate disappears for a second or two.
*After Sparkplug has his moment of hesitation, Spike's mouth moves, but no words come out.
*When Sparkplug climbs up onto the first energy pylon, the sound of his footsteps is that of a clanking, giant robot, not a human wearing boots.
*The third pylon's energy beam isn't quite aligned with the pylon itself.

===Continuity errors===
*Megatron's "diversion" only draws four Autobots away from their headquarters, with at least that many still present, yet he seems to regard it as a smashing success.
*Rumble, Ravage and Laserbeak are just able to saunter into Autobot Headquarters with no alarms or security systems going off; that's the by-product of a deleted scene from the episode's script, in which it is explained that Teletraan I is offline while Ratchet performs some standard repair work on it.
*In order to test the effectiveness of the hypno-chip, Megatron produces a model of Optimus Prime. Because Starscream is bone-headed enough to think Megatron just randomly let Prime into the base, Megatron directly says it's a model... right in front of Sparkplug. No one considers that Sparkplug might have more common sense than Starscream, or even that he could ''fake'' being mind-controlled because of what he's just been allowed to overhear.
*That must be one light Optimus Prime model; Sparkplug is able to grab it by the ankle and toss it across the room.
*The entire process of rescuing Sparkplug is fraught with improbabilities:
**Brawn's team should have been swept away by cascading torrents of water as soon as a big enough hole was opened in their tunnel.
**Decepticon Headquarters should also have been inundated as soon as the floor dropped out beneath Starscream. To hold the water at bay, the atmospheric pressure in the base would have to be equal to the water pressure at the bottom of the ocean — a pressure that Sparkplug and Arkeville most assuredly could not survive.
**Whatever force keeps water from gushing up through the big hole in the floor doesn't stop water from gushing in when Brawn punches a big hole in the ''wall''.
**"Hold your breath, Sparkplug!" says Windcharger, as they prepare to swim out of Decepticon HQ. Yes, that will save you from the freezing temperatures and crushing pressures at the bottom of the ocean!
**The water gushing into the base is nowhere to be seen as Starscream re-enters the base.
[[File:UltimateDoom1 Foamy Megatron.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|"Mr. Bubbles' Happy Time Fun Bath Soap?! RETREAT!!!"]]
*The Decepticons enter Autobot Headquarters through a huge hole in the wall, yet there has been no explosion or anything.
*The Decepticons can be apparently easily damaged by fire-retardant foam (Cybertronian fire-retardant foam at that!), yet the Autobots are fine.
*Spike trips over nothing as he flees the battle. The next shot make it seem like he was supposed to have tripped over his dad's wrench... but in order to have tripped Spike, the wrench must be either monumentally heavy or bolted to the floor; nonetheless, in the next frame Spike picks the wrench up with no sign of strain—just as you would expect anyone could.
*Every action has an equal and opposite ''re''action; the surface of Cybertron should have been just as devastated by ''Earth''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s gravity as the Earth's surface was by ''Cybertron''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s gravity.
*Why did Megatron slowly climb the rocks to reach the third pylon? Did he forget he could fly?

===Rhino DVD release===
*The energy readout screen is missing its glowing effects in the DVD version. In addition, it is misspelled as “ENERCY”.
*Arkeville’s chip disappears in the Rhino DVD version as soon as he puts it in Sparkplug’s ear.
*Megatron’s mouth freezes in several scenes in the DVD version.
*Wheeljack’s glowing effects are missing when he says, “Maybe, but we’ll need a plan.”
*When Shockwave says, “Everything is in readiness, Megatron.”, Megatron slowly floats down to the floor in the DVD version. In the original broadcast, he remains still. The background effects behind Shockwave are also different between the two versions.
*When Starscream says "Optimus Prime? Prepare to attack!", he and Skywarp have traded colors on the Rhino DVD Release, while in the broadcast, Starscream and Skywarp didn't.
*Starscream falling into the water is missing the splash effect on the DVD. When he crawls out, the DVD version is also missing the water all over him.
*When Dr. Arkeville yells at his slave to only fix the damaged Autobots, his mouth isn’t moving in the DVD version.
*Spike’s hair is darker in the DVD version when he drops a wrench into Teletraan 1’s circuitry. The same shot also has a puff of smoke in the DVD version that is missing in the final broadcast version.

===Trivia===
*This episode is subtitled "Brainwash" in scripts and other official materials.
*Like "[[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|More than Meets the Eye]]", the mid-80s [[Family Home Entertainment]] VHS release of "The Ultimate Doom" was granted the {{w|Film Advisory Board}} Award of Excellence, proudly displayed on the video box cover. However, this particular "award" does not reflect the ''quality'' of any work submitted, but rather that the work is "family-friendly". Cheeky, once again!
*This was one of the six episodes featured on the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|console game]].
*The idea of bringing Cybertron to Earth via space bridge and enslaving humans was used as part of the plot for ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' (which was, despite being a [[Michael Bay]] movie, oddly devoid of ''any'' sort of environmental damage that would be caused by such an event).

{{disambig3|Meltdown}}
:''Meltdown is a [[Decepticon]] [[Micromaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:MeltdownBoxart.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Fon''don't''!]]

'''Meltdown''' is always angry, all the time. A barely-controlled ball of sheer rage, Meltdown only knows one strategy: to charge in, ram his opponents, then transform into robot mode to bludgeon them to death. His angled armor helps him to deflect enemy projectiles as he storms into battle to get up close and personal with the next Autobot he intends to eviscerate. He regards his violent behavior as a perfectly sensible approach to anger management.

Unfortunately for Meltdown, his [[combiner]] partner is [[Half-Track (G1)|Half-Track]], whose job it is to shoot down [[Autobot]] aircraft from afar. Meltdown rarely sticks to the plan, and his reckless berserker charges frustrate his commander [[Direct-Hit]] to no end. On the other hand, Meltdown usually emerges from his oil-soaked melees triumphant - whereas following his commander's terrible plans rarely end well for anyone. Sometimes all the pent-up frustrations of life just ''get'' to him, to the point where he'll literally blow a gasket and pop one of his cerebro-circuits, taking him out of action until he can be repaired.<ref>''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' #4</ref>

{{TOCclear}}

==Fiction==
===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
Meltdown was an Autobot and member of the Tank Team portion of the [[Jet Tank W Team]]. Both pairs were fast in their respective battlefields and had a special gunpowder that they could use to destroy anything in their pincher attacks between land and air. {{storylink|#Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers|Return of Convoy bio}}

===''Regeneration One''===
[[File:Battle patrol soundwave counterpoint.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]
Meltdown was a member of [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s group of Neo-Decepticons at [[Fort Scyk]] in [[Polyhex]]. {{storylink|Counterpoint}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
Meltdown was stationed at a [[trans-hyperwave caster]] station in [[Proximax]]. When the [[Monster GoBot|Antares Eight]] stormed the tower, [[Vamp]] strafed Meltdown's position in vehicle mode, taking down the Micromaster guard. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}

*'''Battle Squad''' (Micromaster Combiner Squad, [[1990]])

:Meltdown transforms into an armored truck, which is intended to be the front half of a blue anti-aircraft half-track that he forms with his combiner partner [[Half-Track (G1)|Half-Track]]. He can, of course, be connected to any other [[Micromaster Combiner]].

:Meltdown was only available in a six-pack with his squad mates Half-Track, [[Direct-Hit]], [[Fireshot]], [[Power Punch]], and [[Vanquish]].

{{anchor|Return of Convoy}}
*'''Jet Tank W Team''' (Micro Trailer team, [[1991]])
**''ID number'': '''C-369'''
**''Accessories'': Micro Trailer #9

: Meltdown is physically identical to the [[Hasbro]]-release, transforming into a Humvee-like armored car. Though Half-Track nominally forms the back half of their combined vehicle mode, Meltdown can combine with any other Micromaster Combiner, Combiner Transport or [[Micro Trailer]] in vehicle mode to form new weird vehicles.

: He was only available (in Japan at least) in a complete set with Half-Track, Fireshot and Vanquish. The set also comes with Micro Trailer #9, an accessory that uses a spring-loaded mechanism to launch Micromasters, and can also be carried by [[Sky Garry (G1)|Sky Garry]] or stored within [[Grandus (G1)|Grandus]]. It can also be "towed" by any Micromaster Combiner in their half-a-vehicle form. Like all ''Return of Convoy'' characters, he was marketed as an Autobot instead of a Decepticon.

==Notes==
*Meltdown and Half-Track are unique among the Micromaster Combiner molds in that as individuals, they actually transform into fully-functional separate vehicles rather than half of a vehicle.

Terrorcon (G1)

{{factions|decepticon|quintesson}}
{{disambig3|Terrorcon}}
:''The Terrorcons are a [[Decepticon]] [[subgroup]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Loveandsteel-terrorcons1a.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|Not a good day to be a Nebulan]]
Sometimes it's hard to take the '''Terrorcons''' seriously. Even for Decepticons, they've got a bunch of personality problems, not to mention a lack of decency. Individually, they're not much, and it's not very hard to outsmart them. One on one, an Autobot would probably win.

Then you actually meet the Terrorcons as a group, and you pray that [[Primus]] has mercy on you, because the Terrorcons sure as hell won't. They'll kill you for a bunch of reasons: orders, sport, boredom, a dare. They're not what you'd call soldiers, warriors, or even brawlers. They're animals, and they bring that thought pattern to everything they do, including their choice of [[Alternate mode|altmodes]], which are the forms of frightening beasts. They're all positively insane.

The Terrorcons aren't known for being particularly loyal, occasionally ditching the Decepticon cause in favor of working for the [[Quintesson]]s.

The Terrorcons consist of:

*The brilliant yet gluttonous [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]] (leader)
*The superiority obsessed [[Rippersnapper (G1)|Rippersnapper]]
*The appallingly disgusting [[Blot (G1)|Blot]]
*The predatory [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]]
*The overly-violent [[Cutthroat (G1)|Cutthroat]]
*And sometimes the not-very-smart [[Cindersaur (G1)|Cindersaur]]

They combine to form the incredibly destructive (but surprisingly cute) [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]].

The Terrorcons accompanied [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] to acquire [[anti-electron]]s from [[Unicron]]'s disembodied head. During the adventure, they were attacked by [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]. They managed to get the upper hand, but were quickly attacked by the newly made [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]]. The Terrorcons formed Abominus, but thanks to the sacrifice of [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]]'s super intelligence, the Technobots formed [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], and defeated the Terrorcons. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

[[File:Money-is-everything-terrorcons-robotmode.jpg|thumb|''Learn to fly, reach the sky, legend will carry you-'']]
Soon afterwards, the Terrorcons were now under the control of the [[Quintesson]]s for no apparent reason. Hun-Gurr was dispatched to attack [[Dirk Manus]], a [[human]] smuggler who had discovered [[Recreator|a device of great value]]. The Terrorcons had been modified by the Quintessons to disassemble from their Abominus form after a short period of time, which was their undoing: Computron detected the timer devices and activated it, forcing the Terrorcons and Quintessons into retreat. {{storylink|Money Is Everything (episode)|Money Is Everything}}

[[File:Abominus1.jpg|thumb|left|Prince has really bulked up.]]
The Terrorcons were among the Decepticons fighting the Autobots on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. They formed Abominus on Galvatron's command, but soon disassembled and left with the other "primitive" Transformers when the [[Oracle (G1)|Primacron's assistant]] called them away to fight the powerful [[Tornedron]]. The Terrorcons were the only primitives to fight the energy-draining Tornedron with something other than energy-based weaponry, but were quickly defeated. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

Late in the year [[2006]], the Terrorcons attacked [[Gregory Swofford]] and [[Mark Morgan]]'s laboratory to steal their new [[Impervious alloy|heat-and-radiation-resistant alloy]]. The fight between Abominus and Computron caused significant damage to the lab and seriously injured Morgan's daughter, [[Jessica Morgan|Jessica]], leading the two scientists to plot revenge on all the Transformers by infecting them with the [[Hate Plague]]. Nice going there, guys. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

In [[2007]], the Terrorcons took part in an attack on [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] as part of Galvatron's plot to obtain the [[Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber|Key]] to the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. When the Decepticons began their attack on Cybertron, Hun-Gurr and Cutthroat were seen firing on the Autobots alongside the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} while Abominus was later seen menacing the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}. They were later seen wearing down the Autobot defenses on Cybertron, and then fled Cybertron aboard [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] with the other Decepticons. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

The Terrorcons were created by the [[Quintesson]]s. As this was done without [[Vector Sigma]], the Terrorcons did not achieve the same intelligence as other [[Transformer]]s. {{storylink|The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 3}}

=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
[[File:Hmop Terrorcons.jpg|thumb|200px]]
In 2011, Hun-Gurrr and the Terrorcons journeyed to Cybertron over the long-abandoned Decepticon [[space bridge]]. They were part of the first wave of Galvatron's siege, hoping to gain control of [[Vector Sigma]]. Hun-Gurrr's team combined into Abominus to battle [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Later on, Abominus teamed up with his fellow combiners to wage war on their Autobot counterparts. Their victory seemed assured until the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Battleship Maximus]] swooped in and scattered the Decepticon combiners. They barely survived the encounter. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} On Earth, the Terrorcons intervened on [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]]'s search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] and the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] kept the Terrorcons busy so that Hot Rod could complete his mission. Even after the Terrorcons formed Abominus, the Headmasters stood against them, and the arrival of Computron swung the odds firmly on the Autobots' side. Abominus was last seen with his head buried in the sand, being kicked in the side by Computron. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

[[File:Hm14 Terrorcons Taking Hostage.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
When Galvatron launched a [[Metamorphose|metal-warping meteorite]] at the Autobots on [[Athenia]], he brought along the Terrorcons to occupy the Autobot forces. Linking up as Abominus, they once again battled Computron and the Headmasters. {{storylink|Approach of the Demon Meteorite}}

Scorponok devised a scheme to harvest [[plasma energy]] from the planet [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] by setting off a series of explosives that would utterly destroy the planet, releasing its stored energies. The Terrorcons were responsible for planting the bombs. Hun-Gurrr was spotted by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]], [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and [[Shouki]] of the Trainbots, but the other Terrorcons managed to take them hostage. Hun-Gurrr left [[Rippersnapper (G1)|Rippersnapper]] and [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]] in charge of the hostages, while he took the other Terrorcons to finish planting the charges. The duo failed to notice when Danny set off a homing signal, however, and were soon forced to flee when the Headmasters arrived to rescue their friends. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} They managed to get two of the three sites set before being set upon by [[Raiden]] and the Headmasters. By forming Abominus, the Terrorcons held their own until Scorponok arrived with his mighty [[Transtector]], MegaZarak. The giant scorpion occupied the Autobots long enough for the Terrorcons to finish their work, and Mars was consumed by the resultant atomic inferno. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}}

[[File:SOSfromSandra Terrorcon Brawl.jpg|thumb]]
Soon after, the Terrorcons joined Sixshot and the returning Galvatron on an energy raid. They sought to prevent the Autobots from re-energizing the distant world of [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]], and steal the energy for themselves. The Terrorcons formed Abominus for yet another in a series of battles against Computron. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}} When Galvatron left for deep space to plunder new sources of energy, the Terrorcons went with him. {{storylink|Daniel Faces His Biggest Crisis Ever!!}} Hun-Gurrr and Sinnertwin were seen gathering energon on the planet [[Paradise]], and the Terrorcons later formed Abominus to battle the [[Monsterbot (G1)|Monsterbot]]s. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}}

The Terrorcons returned with Galvatron and the other Decepticons, setting up shop on Earth under Sixshot's command. He joined an enormous offensive against the Autobots' facility in [[Florida|Miami]], drawing out the troops from Autobot City so that Sixshot could kill [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. Body-slamming Computron as Abominus was just icing on the cake. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} The warfare on Earth continued, as the Terrorcons assembled as Abominus in part of a five-fold simultaneous strike on Autobot interests engineered by Sixshot. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

=====''Generations Selects Special Comic''=====
Having abandoned the [[Decepticon]] cause, the Terrorcons were commissioned by the [[Quintesson]]s to join forces with the [[human]]s in their battle against the [[Selector]]s, [[Autobot]]s, and [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s forces. The once-comical Terrorcons proved to be formidable adversaries on the battlefield; using [[Angolmois Energy]] to bolster their strength and to create [[Slitherfang]]s and [[Pteraxadon]]s for the Quintesson army. [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]] later announced to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] their plan to feed the Transformers' and Selectors' sparks into the [[Hellspark]] within [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]]'s body. Megatron later gained the upper hand on the Terrorcons by absorbing their Angolmois Energy and evolving into Megatron Omega—the combiner team countered by merging into [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] as soon as the [[Terrorbreaster]] arrived. The brutish combiner shot Megatron Omega in the chest, {{Storylink|Abominus comic 1}} but the Decepticon leader just shrugged off his supposedly fatal wound. The Terrorcons spent the remainder of the battle in their combined forms, stealing [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]'s limbs to become [[Abomenaticus]] in order to counter the newly formed [[Comperian]]. Abomenaticus later disengaged to reform Abominus, intending to get his revenge on Megatron Omega. However, Megatron blasted the Terrorcon combiner aside, causing all the sparks stored within the Hellspark to be released. The [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] combiner [[Volcanicus (POTP)|Volcanicus]] protected Abominus from Megatron Omega's attack and suggested that they work together to defeat the corrupted Megatron. The Terrorcons, wanting to know the secrets of Angolmois, formed a temporary alliance with the Autobots and prepared to enter the warp hole from [[Primus]] as Abominus. {{Storylink|Abominus comic 2}}

The Terrorcons duly made their way through the warp hole, arriving on the [[Blue Planet (GS)|Blue Planet]] just after it had transformed into the Neo Primus robot, having brought the other components necessary to form Abomenaticus with them. Grimlock ordered them to get busy eating the Angolmois fueling the planetary giant. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Prelude|Finale Prelude}} Hun-Gurrr assisted in the ensuing battle by catching Volcanicus' dropped [[Magma Blade (GS)|Magma Blade]] and imbuing it with the Angolmois he'd just eaten, creating the "Angolmois Blade", just before getting shot down by [[Red Megatron]] and [[Black Megatron]]. Cutthroat also participated in the battle by forming the left arm of [[Scramble 7]]. After the battle, [[Primus|Oracle]] had the Terrorcons' memories wiped and sent them back to their own time. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}

====''Wings Universe''====
{{wingsnote}}
[[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] and the other [[Cybertronian Knight]]s considered a mandatory meditation session and lecture from [[Cheetor (BW)|Alpha Trizer]] to be a worse challenge than, among other things, Terrorcons overwhelming the cities of Cybertron. {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur, 2015/01/07}}

The Terrorcons were among the many Decepticons under the command of Scorponok on Cybertron. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}} They journeyed with their squad to the world of Nebulos, in pursuit of Fortress Maximus's Autobots. The mighty warrior Blot was chosen to participate in the Decepticons' initial attack on the Nebulans and Autobots in the capital city of [[Koraja]]. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}}

On Nebulos, the Terrorcons had a terrific time terrorizing organic creatures in the city of [[Splendora]], till the Technobots showed up and kicked their tails. Combining into Abominus didn't help much, as it basically provided Computron with a larger target. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}}

The Terrorcons later traveled with Scorponok to the [[Mercury Gardens of Melanossus]] in response to an Autobot sighting there. The newly minted Targetmaster Autobots proved to be a fair match for them; only the Autobots' concern for the Gardens' well-being ended the battle, as they retreated to prevent further damage to them. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

The Terrorcons, along with the rest of the Decepticons, left Nebulos soon after, journeying to the planet Earth. {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}} There they participated in various battles, most notably against Ratbat's forces, {{storylink|Cold War!}} then briefly against an Autobot force under Optimus Prime's command. Shortly thereafter, they were deactivated by the [[Underbase]]-empowered [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] and not seen again. {{storylink|Dark Star}}

After [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] had become [[Decepticon leader]], he sought to reactivate [[Project Dreadnought]], having Abominus defend the control hub in [[Stanix]]. On the [[Wreckers]]' inaugural mission, Abominus confronted the attackers before being toppled. In light of so many small targets, the Terrorcons decombined and fought the Autobots hand to hand. Though they held their own, two Autobots had managed to sabotage Dreadnought with explosives, sending the project up in flames. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 4|Secrets & Lies #4}}

The Terrorcons and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] intercepted [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s team during the search for [[Metascan Alpha]]. The Terrorcons united into Abominus, but the Autobots ignored them and continued with their mission. A short time later, Abominus came under attack from the [[Destructon]]s and was blasted apart. The Terrorcons began a retreat and found themselves being aided by Ultra Magnus, resulting in Cyclonus agreeing to a truce between the two factions. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
Hun-Grrr and Rippersnapper attended a Decepticon gathering called together by [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]], who was looking to recruit more fighters to his cause. Hun-Grrr was skeptic to being ordered around by such a tiny leader, but was suitably convinced when Serpent O.R. proved to be the "son" of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} Rippersnapper later helped defend the Decepticon base from a combined Autobot/[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I.

Hun-Grrr and Blot participated in [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s illegal gladiatorial deathmatches just prior to the formation of the Decepticons. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}}

When Megatron was defeated early in the war, he was ousted by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and banished to [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]]. Believing exile to be far too lenient a punishment for his failure, the Terrorcons traveled to the alien planet to finish their former leader off, planning to do the same to Scorponok later on. {{storylink|Wreckage (issue)|Wreckage}} However, they severely underestimated Megatron, who was able to take down four of them with his bare hands even while running dangerously low on energon. Hun-Gar had the upper hand for a while, but was also defeated as soon as Megatron was able to refuel. Now aware of his power, the Terrorcons swore loyalty to Megatron in exchange for being spared, then brought him back to Cybertron to take revenge on Scorponok. {{storylink|Prey (issue)|Prey}} After Megatron was done punishing the usurper personally, he gave the Terrorcons free reins to tear into him... as long as they kept his pain receptors intact. {{storylink|The Illusion of Control}}

[[File:SpotlightSixshot Terrorcons WhoUs.jpg|left|thumb|Don't kill us! We contribute so much to the continuity!!]]
As the war went on, the Terrorcons became [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]'s biggest fans, hoping to one day be as powerful and feared as the Decepticons' number one mercenary. They were also the closest thing Sixshot has to "friends", as every other Decepticon was scared to death of the guy. The Terrorcons went on a mission to [[Mumu-Obscura]] where they were taken prisoner by the [[Deathbringer (IDW)|Deathbringer]] and the [[Reaper]]s. Sixshot came to their rescue, and though he was tempted to join the Reapers after Deathbringer extended an offer, Sixshot refused to pass the final test for membership: kill the Terrorcons. The Reapers accepted Sixshot's rejection and allowed him to leave with his "friends". {{storylink|Spotlight: Sixshot}}

As the war ended, the Terrorcons apparently went their separate ways. Blot, Cutthroat, and Sinnertwin were among the Decepticons who returned to Cybertron. Blot may have been killed by the rogue Autobot [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] while standing watch. {{storylink|The End of the Beginning of the World}} Cutthroat and Sinnertwin participated in the rioting when Megatron returned to the new Cybertronian settlements. {{storylink|City on Fire}} Hun-Gar and Blot's spark-brother [[Blip]] were part of a band of Decepticons caught practicing [[pink alchemy]] at [[Sensensica]] when the Autobots of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' intervened. {{storylink|Before & After}} Both of them were captured and brought back to Cybertron, where they participated in an ill-fated attempt to rescue Megatron from an Autobot trial - Rippersnapper's presence at the attempted breakout may also indicate that he was part of Hun-Gar's crew on Temptoria. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|Predestination: A Beginner's Guide}}

Cutthroat, Rippersnapper, and Sinnertwin were hired by [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] to guard his [[Regenesis]] ore mine within [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], and challenged [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and her entourage when they came to investigate. Cutthroat fought with Windblade and [[Octane|Tankor]] while the other two faced off with [[Slag (G1)|Slug]] and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] until Starscream himself intervened and captured the Autobots. {{storylink|A Long Way Down}}

===2019 IDW continuity===
Long ago, a group of Cybertronians discovered the [[Enigma of Combination]] and attempted to turn themselves into a combiner. However, their lack of a shared purpose created a rapacious, energy-gobbling "[[Abominus (G1)|abomination]]" that rampaged across the planet until [[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]] and his forces felled the monster at [[Rivets Field]]. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 1}} {{storylink|Escape Part Three}}

:The Terrorcons are a [[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]-style combiner team: four simple, small figures who form the limbs of the combined form, sold carded at the $5 price point, and one larger leader who forms the central torso, sold boxed at $12. They can combine with members of any other Scramble City-style combiner team, or join together to form [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]]. They were sold both individually and as part of a gift set.

:The small toys are fairly simplistic, even for Scramble City limbs. Most of their transformations consist of flipping out the beast torso to form "legs", and flipping back the beast head to reveal the robot head. The robot forms are ''exceedingly'' kibble-laden, with beast arms, legs, heads, tails and wings all hanging off, hoping not to be noticed. They also tend to have rather stunted [[robot mode]] arms. Articulation is limited to a single swivel joint at each shoulder, and knee joints (not very useful due to their fused unifeet.) [[Beast mode]] articulation is much more wide-ranging, with most beast limbs having a swivel joint. They can wield their guns in either mode. Hun-grrr in constrast is surprisingly well-articulated for a toy of the time, especially in his legs, thanks to his transformation engineering.

:The team does not share common plastic colors, but their collective palette is dominated by light gray, yellow, blue, purple and magenta.

*Unlike many of the [[Special Teams]], the Terrorcons never really had an origin story.

You know, whatever works.
*Nearly 33 years after the fact, "[[The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 3]]" stated that for the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity]], the Terrorcons were [[Quintesson]] creations, similarly to fellow Decepticon beastformers the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]], [[canonizing]] a longstanding fan interpolation.
