Spinister (G1)

Mdjj1996:

{{factions||decepticon|}}
{{disambig3|Spinister}}
:''Spinister is a [[Decepticon]] [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Spinister-boxart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I'm terribly mysterious and I have 300 pounds of canned meat strapped to my right arm.]]
'''Spinister''' is mysterious... ''terribly'' mysterious. A closed book to the Decepticons, Spinister is a dark menace to his Autobot enemies. Often, the first warning of his approach is the gentle note of a detonating fusion bomb or the delightful hiss of metal boiling away under an assault of charged particles from his [[Particle beam cannon|beam cannon]]. How he is so terribly sneaky is unclear, but rumor has it that he has developed a cloaking device that he has kept a secret from his fellow 'Cons. Quiet and mysterious, that's how he likes to be, and that's how he intends to stay. One must wonder how much even his binary-bonded [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] companions [[Singe]] and [[Hairsplitter]] know about him.

This grim air warrior seems far more independent of mind than the common Decepticon, though he doesn't go in for the outright mutiny for which [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] is noted. When he spots unrecognized potential in the Decepticon ranks, however, he may well bring the would-be warrior under his tutelage without the knowledge or permission of his superior officers. Actually speaking his mind would prevent the whole mysterious, shadow-warrior thing from working, after all.

Then again, the guy might just be a paranoid dumbass who'd shoot a torch just because it "looked at him funny." He's actually a bit of a savant when it comes to re-wiring things, though.

Also, his name is cooler than [[Slayride]] and [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]] combined.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
[[File:HuntingParty-Mayhem Attack Squad small.JPG|upright=1.4|thumb|Dammit, why does someone always have to ruin a perfectly good group shot with a wussy thought bubble??]]
''Spinister was recruited into the new [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] by [[Snarler]], and placed in charge of training and grading other new recruits to the squad. During a training exercise, a fresh-new warrior named [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] went AWOL in the middle of a battle. Spinister went after him, knowing the desertion was punishable by death in the Decepticon Army. He saw promise in the young soldier, though, and so instead faked having difficulty against an Autobot drone he was fighting. Spinister hoped that seeing him in danger would force Needlenose to act, and he was right. Needlenose came back and fought off the drone to "save" Spinister. Because of this, Spinister ignored his temporary loss of courage in the official report, and nominated Needlenose for full membership in the Mayhems, and their mission to hunt down the traitors [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] and [[Catilla (G1)|Catilla]].'' {{storylink|The Hunting Party (Marvel)|The Hunting Party}}

''Arriving on Earth, the Mayhems confronted Carnivac separately from his new Autobot comrades in the [[Survivors]], and ran him to ground.'' {{storylink|Way of the Warrior}} ''Carnivac managed to escape them when the National Guard arrived to interfere. The head of the human military unit ordered his soldiers to "blow away" the Decepticons, an order that Spinister told him would be his last. The humans were slaughtered in short order, and Spinister's group managed to track down Carnivac again with little fuss.''{{storylink|Survival Run}} ''Seeing Carnivac's newfound care for fleshlings, Spinister opened fire into a crowd, committing Carnivac to taking the fire himself in order to protect the humans. Stunned by the gunfire, Carnivac lay wounded as Spinister transformed and was about to pass sentence on him. His fellow traitor Catilla leapt out from nowhere, however, spoiling Spinister's aim. Bludgeon managed to impale the new arrival with his [[sword]], but the Mayhems were then driven off by the Survivors before they could finish Carnivac off as well.'' {{storylink|A Savage Place!}}

[[File:Deadly Obsession Needlenose Spinister.jpg|left|thumb]]
Spinister joined Needlenose, [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]], and [[Windsweeper]] in serving their commander, [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]. They investigated why Autobots were patrolling a sector of space, taking a group of Autobots as prisoner on the planet [[Pz-Zazz]]. {{storylink|Bird of Prey!}} The hostages revealed the search for the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]], inflaming Thunderwing's obsession to obtain the artifact. The Mayhem Attack Squad were soon taken to [[Cheyne]], where Spinister and Ruckus took down [[Dogfight (G1)|Dogfight]] for Thunderwing. As the Autobot proved to be of little use, the Decepticons left. {{Storylink|Kings of the Wild Frontier.}} They next went to [[Pequod]], and Thunderwing sent Spinister, who was beginning to have doubts about the sanity of his leader, and Needlenose to deal with the Autobot [[Pretender]]s at the planet while their leader mentally connected with the [[Klud]] to discern the Matrix's location. Once he did, he recalled his troops and left. {{Storylink|Deadly Obsession}} The Matrix was located on the moon [[VsQs]], where Thunderwing led his forces in battle against the Autobots. He abandoned Windsweeper to his fate when the [[Matrixspawn]] creature attacked, being more focused on his prize than a fellow Decepticon. When their leader ran off chasing the creature, Spinister held back his fellow Mayhems, telling them it was their duty to look after the injured Windsweeper, and let Thunderwing deal with his own business. {{Storylink|Dark Creation}}

[[File:AllFallDown-Spinister.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Few people get along with their bosses.]]
After Thunderwing captured the Matrix and arranged for his team to infiltrate the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] aboard a stolen shuttle, he quickly found the Matrix's own corrupted persona waxing control over his own mind. Spinister tried to warn him of the madness taking over, only to have Thunderwing fire on his own troop. The shock of having shot one of his loyal soldiers drove home the point for Thunderwing, but it was too late, and the Matrix completely overtook his thoughts. After the Autobots managed to drive Thunderwing out of the ship and into the vacuum of space, Spinister and the Mayhems gave up without a fight, wanting no more violence that day. {{storylink|All Fall Down}}

=====Trigger-Happy!=====
Spinister, [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]], and [[Windsweeper]] accompanied [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] and [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] in delivering battle plans to [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], the former three acting as the group's rear guard. The Autobots learned of the delivery and planned to ambush them, but their mission was botched by [[Backstreet (G1)|Backstreet]], who gave away his faction's presence prematurely. Spinister and the other Decepticons were provoked into starting a firefight that endangered the inhabitants of nearby [[Rivers' Town]]. Panicked over his mistake, Backstreet wound up going on the run from his fellow Autobots. Learning of the situation, Megatron had his troops track down the fugitive in the hopes of recruiting him to their faction. Spinister found the runaway squatting in an abandoned amusement park, and reported so to his leader. But though Megatron ordered him not to engage Backstreet, Spinister found the temptation of roughing up the isolated Autobot too strong to resist. He and [[Scoop (G1)#Trigger-Happy!|Scoop]], the first Decepticon to converge on his position, attacked Backstreet together. On his arrival, Megatron was enraged by his soldiers' "show of initiative," and violently saw them off before they could do any lasting damage. Ultimately, Megatron's plan failed, and Backstreet returned to the Autobots. {{storylink|Trigger-Happy!}}

[[File:Where wolf death small.JPG|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Entered the No-Spinister Zone.]]
While Carnivac was still seeking revenge for Catilla's murder, Spinister and the others set up an island base on Earth while preparing for their next strike. The cowardly Needlenose got on everyone's nerves, though, when the waiting weighed on his circuits enough to compel him to stage a mock emergency drill and test the Mayhems' response time, just in case Carnivac came looking for him. Spinister gave Needlenose a stern rebuke after that, warning him that the next incident would cost him his life. As it turned out, Carnivac HAD infiltrated the base during the commotion, and Needlenose's next round of genuine emergency calls were left unheeded. {{storylink|Cry Wolf!}} The wolf's next strike on Bludgeon did not go as quietly, and he drew the attention of the rest of the base. Instead of risking himself in close-quarters combat, Carnivac's forte, Spinister wisely chose to blast the traitor from a distance, apparently destroying him. {{storylink|Wolf in the Fold!}} The Mayhems were then forced to defend themselves against the combined might of the Survivors and [[Earthforce]], who had come to rescue Carnivac from his insane mission of vengeance. While Bludgeon and the others charged head first into battle, Spinister saw no gain in a warrior's suicide, and attempted to slip away. Unfortunately for him, only Carnivac's shell had been destroyed earlier, and the robot within had survived to take his vengeance on the Mayhems, shooting Spinister, crushing Snarler and then assisting the Earthforce in capturing the remaining Decepticons. {{storylink|Where Wolf?}}

====''Transformers Comic-Magazin''====
Spinister was present when Megatron made peaceful gestures to Humanity in [[New York City]] and the Decepticons gave a "statue" of [[Snaptrap (G1)|Snaptrap]] as a gift to the city. Unsurprisingly, once humanity was off-guard the Decepticons struck, and the Autobots barely stopped them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 4#Transformers in Action: The Troy Principle|The Troy Principle}} Those events were recorded on a videotape that was later found and watched by Autobots on Cybertron after a [[City of Fear!|nuclear disaster]] in [[Kalis]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 21|In Memory of Earth}}

Spinister and a group of Decepticons broke into a [[Nevada Alpha|nuclear arms cache]] in order to acquire the armaments within. During the siege, the inhabitants were able to send a distress signal to the Autobots, alerting them to their presence. They sent a large squad of assorted of Autobots to station, forcing the Decepticons into a retreat. Fortunately for them, they were able to make off with three nuclear missiles in the chaos.{{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 8|Save Nevada Alpha}}

The characteristics of Spinister and the other "Small Targetmaster Decepticons" were reviewed by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] in a simulation watched by [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]].{{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 15|Memories of Bumblebee}}

Spinister fell in with [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Gigatron]]'s Decepticon forces on Earth. This was a very fortunate decision, as evil Autobots from [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon|another dimension]] invaded, and as a result everything not on Earth in Spinister's universe ceased to exist. {{storylink|Invasion (issue)|Invasion}}

Spinister survived the destruction of his universe and was last seen in the negative polarity universe with a small band of evil Decepticon survivors, back under [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s command. {{storylink|The Future Buried...}}

Spinister was present when [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] was recruiting for the "Neo-Decepticon" insurgency at [[Fort Scyk]]. He later participated in the attack on the [[Kalis]] [[Baird Beaming Transmitter]] that led to the destruction of the [[Last Autobot]]. {{storylink|Counterpoint}}

Soundwave was off-planet when the resurrected [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] returned to Cybertron with a [[Gene Key]] capable of turning Autobots into Decepticons. The former Headmaster arrived at Fort Scyk and commanded the assembled troops to follow him, executing [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]] as an example of the price of questioning his orders. Spinister filed out with the rest, but not before he had got a message out to Soundwave. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Three}} He was next seen with Needlenose alongside Scorponok at the [[Sonic Canyons]], preparing to make his Gene Key's effects permanent, when [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] and the Dinobots attacked. When Grimlock's mole [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] neutralised the Gene Key's effects on the Autobots, turning the odds against Scorponok, Spinister and Needlenose chose the better part of valour, transformed to their aerial modes and fled. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Five}}

Later, Spinister and Needlenose convinced a few agitated Cybertronians to lob a grenade at [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] as he was giving a speech at the [[Eugenesis Plaza]]. {{storylink|Destiny, Part One}} Spinister then monitored as [[Fang]] instigated a riot between more agitated Cybertronians and the [[Wrecker]]s on [[Auto-artery RG1|Auto-artery RG1 (North)]] as part of Soundwave's plan to sow disquiet and blind Cybertron to [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s impending attack. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Two}}

After the Decepticons kidnapped [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]], they demanded [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] turn himself over in exchange. Spinister acted as aerial spotter for the Decepticons, tracking Prime's route to the exchange point. Unfortunately for the Decepticons, a covered pass allowed Optimus to sneak [[Fizzle]] and [[Hosehead (G1)|Hosehead]] into the area inside his trailer as back-up. {{storylink|Autobot Hostage}}

[[File:WorldsCollide3 Spinister1.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|WE'RE GONNA GET SENT TO THE BAD PLACE!]]
In [[Primax 703.09 Gamma|one of many alternate realities]], Spinister was one of the few survivors of [[Unicron]]'s attack on that universe's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and had become little more than a gibbering half-insane emotional wreck as a result. When [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] was accidentally transported into this reality, Spinister told him about Unicron and what he did. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4}} Optimus tried to get some answers out of him over how they could potentially defeat Unicron, but Spinister would only babble on that all those who crossed Unicron's path were already doomed. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 2 of 4}} When Unicron returned soon after Prime's arrival, Spinister welcomed his oblivion with open arms. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 3 of 4}} Unicron possessed his frame, and used it to converse with Optimus, demanding an explanation for the dimensional interloper's presence. Once this exchange came to an end, Spinister was drawn into the Chaos Bringer's open maw and consumed. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 4 of 4}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Stormbringer issue 4|''Stormbringer'' #4]]}}
[[File:SpotlightBlaster Spinister.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|How exactly am I flying?]]
Spinister was [[Reproduction#2005 IDW continuity|constructed cold]]. {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}} Back before the war, Spinister appeared in the crowd cheering [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron's]] first pit fight. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}} It is unknown whether he joined the Decepticons at their inception or became part of the movement later on after the conquest of [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]]. Much later, Spinister was working under [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] on Cybertron, shortly after the Battle of [[Thunderhead Pass]]. He was part of the last major push for territory on the planet before it became uninhabitable. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}} Centuries later, Spinister still served with the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]] leader as part of the crew aboard the starship ''[[Thanatos]]''. He followed [[Divebomb (G1)|Divebomb]] and the other flying Decepticons into battle with Thunderwing on Cybertron. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}

At some point, Spinister joined up with [[Scavenger (group)|a squad of loose Decepticons]] led by [[Krok (G1)|Krok]] and annoyed them with his paranoid, triggerhappy nature {{storylink|Rules of Disengagement (issue)|Rules of Disengagement}} though an erroneous report placed Spinister among the Decepticons imprisoned on Cybertron after the war with [[D-Void]]. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|The Autonomy Lesson}}

[[File:MTMTE8 MisfireSpinister.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|One... two... hang on, guys, I've got this one... ''thuh-ree...'']]
Not long after they all received [[Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|a call from Cybertron to return]], the Scavengers were on [[Clemency]], scavenging. During this time, they ran into a supposedly dead K-Class Decepticon called [[Fulcrum]] and Spinister removed his explosive charge in fear of the Decepticon blowing himself up while they were scavenging him. {{storylink|Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|Who's Afraid of the DJD?}} Misfire described him to Fulcrum, after the bot revealed himself to be actually alive, as the dumbest being in the universe. Later, he wanted to shoot a fire for giving him weird looks (in fairness they were using a still-living Autobot as a fireplace) and then shot a torch because it was glowing at him, much to Fulcrum's dismay. They were later contacted by the [[Decepticon Justice Division]], who were looking to torture and kill one of them for crimes against the Decepticons. Confused since there were only six of them and the Division mentioned seven bots present, they looked around and discovered a stasis-locked [[Grimlock (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|Rules of Disengagement (issue)|Rules of Disengagement}}

The Scavengers decided to stay and fight the D.J.D. by unleashing Grimlock from his pod when the D.J.D. got close. As the D.J.D. were arriving, they revealed their real target had been Fulcrum, but it was already too late. Krok released Grimlock and the fight began. During the battle, Spinister assisted Crankcase in fighting [[Helex (DJD)|Helex]]. After a while, Fulcrum attempted to blow all of the D.J.D. members up with his bomb mode by jumping off the Worldsweeper. As Spinister (probably) expected, the Decepticon harmlessly crashed into the ground and made a soft explosion. The D.J.D. left in any case for [[Overlord (Masterforce)|another target]] and the leader, [[Tarn (DJD)|Tarn]], announced the Scavengers and Grimlock were all now on [[The List]]. Spinister and the others recovered Fulcrum and a damaged Krok. Fulcrum then revealed to them that the D.J.D. had been after him for a crime he had committed during the war for fleeing from a fight. They set off afterwards for Cybertron with a plan to use Grimlock, who was revealed to be almost brain-dead, as a bargaining chip if they ever arrived on the planet. Before they left, they scavenged parts from [[Flywheels]], who had been killed during the fight. {{storylink|Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|Who's Afraid of the DJD?}}

[[File:Scavengers arm the lonely.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
When Misfire managed to get himself incarcerated in the [[Galactic Council]]'s death row on the planet [[Constancy]], the rest of the Scavengers hatched a plan to rescue him, but Spinister, Krok and Crankcase were incapacitated by [[Solomus|Tyrest]]'s [[universal killswitch]] at a crucial moment. {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}} After [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]] and [[Perceptor (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Perceptor]] used half the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] to neutralise the killswitch, Spinister was seen to recover. {{storylink|Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|This Calamitous Life}}

[[File:Scavengers IRL.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.7|YOU! ARE! A! TOY!]]
Spinister and the Scavengers would have many more misadventures, including—amongst other things—conjugating verbs, using [[holomatter]] avatars to blend in with the natives on [[Magisteria VI]] and somehow getting turned into [[toy]]s. To let off steam, they amused themselves by vandalising [[Autopedia]] and playing "[[Cybertronian games#Shoot Shoot Bang Bang|Shoot Shoot Bang Bang]]". It was shortly after one such game that Spinister alerted the others that the giant TV was talking again and it said its name was [[Demus]], an associate of Krok's through a [[Militant Monoform Movement|Triple-M]] subgroup on [[The Big Conversation]], who offered them the opportunity to make some easy [[Shanix]] at his scrapyard on [[Tebris VII]]. After arriving on the planet and meeting with him, Spinister was [[mode lock]]ed in [[robot mode]], as Demus had a heightened phobia of [[transformation]].

Demus revealed that he wanted to offer the Scavengers half a billion Shanix ''each'' in exchange for Grimlock. When Misfire objected, it was put to the vote in a rare display of Decepticon democracy and Spinister elected to sell him along with Krok and Crankcase, carrying it by three votes to two. However, they wouldn't get the chance to make the deal as Demus was then summarily executed by the Duly Appointed Enforcer of the [[Tyrest Accord]], [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Fortress Maximus]]. {{storylink|Some Of My Best Friends Are Autobots}}

[[File:Spinister animals.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Max put them all under arrest for trafficking with a known offender but the Scavengers were able to distract him and hide in Demus's warehouse full of "[[Roboid]]" toys. After learning the true scope of Demus's crimes and that the Roboids were actually lobotomised [[Transformer]]s, stuck in [[beast mode]], to be sold to the organics of the galaxy as "torture dolls", they were able to throw him off their trail by alerting him to the presence of Grimlock on the ''Weak Anthropic Principle'', but then found that they couldn't leave their comrade behind and rode to his rescue on six unboxed [[Equinoid]]s. During the subsequent confrontation with Fortress Maximus, Spinister successfully mastered using a triple negative in a sentence, leading the other Scavengers to all pitch in, using their own unique talents to outwit the Duly Appointed Enforcer and escape with Grimlock by convincing him that the Roboids' lives were in danger—in reality, Spinister had discovered a way to reverse their "[[domestication]]" and left behind a note explaining how to do it. From then on, the Scavengers vowed to adopt Krok's new plan: to find and help all the other Decepticons out there who had been damaged by the war... after one more game of "Shoot Shoot Bang Bang". {{storylink|Animals}}

Some time later aboard the ''Weak Anthropic Principle'', the Scavengers watched a video that was being broadcast to the galaxy at large of ''[[Lost Light]]'' crewmembers apparently counting down the time to their deaths, which even they found a bit dark. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}}

[[File:NothingWillEverBeTheSameAgain-maskedcrusaders.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.7]]
The Scavengers later visited [[Earth]] so that Crankcase could meet his online friend "[[CONS4EVA]]." Misfire and Spinister found themselves chasing Grimlock across [[New Mexico]]. Disguising themselves as [[M.A.S.K.]] agents, the two undercover Decepticons pursued their quarry to [[Amarillo]], [[Texas]], where they joined forces with [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] desk jockey [[MP3]]. The trio followed Grimlock to [[Arlington]] before MP3's "[[Action Van]]" broke down; when Misfire and Spinister revealed the faces of their [[holomatter]] avatars, Misfire's poorly-constructed holomatter face caused MP3 to pass out. Believing that they'd killed him, they buried MP3 and continued their chase. But after watching an EMT resuscitate an injured woman, they realized that they ''hadn't'' killed MP3, so Spinister hurried back to dig up their human friend while Misfire followed Grimlock. An apologetic Spinister brought MP3 back to their ship, where they discovered that Crankcase's Decepticon friend was really a religiously-inclined [[Dire Wraith]] in disguise. Having gathered three different species, the Wraith enacted the mystical ritual known as the "[[Crossover]]," which opened a tiny interdimensional portal. MP3, hoping to go on more space adventures with the Scavengers, tendered his resignation through the portal... only to discover that the Scavengers had left without him. {{storylink|Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again!}}

[[File:JourneysEnd ScavengersPretendAdventure.jpg|thumb|upright=1.9|]]
The Scavengers next traveled to [[Frayus]], searching for some [[ununtrium]] they could sell. Disappointed at finding none of the rare element (and therefore no fiendish death traps to avoid), Spinister and the others prepared to leave only to find themselves in the middle of a struggle between the [[Galactic Council]], the [[Black Block Consortia]], and the Decepticons of [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]. Seeking an exit, they found their tele-portal back up to the W.A.P. in orbit was missing. Fortunately, another exit provided itself. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 3): Journey's End|Journey's End}}

[[File:TheTiesThatBind SpinisterCheckUp.jpg|left|upright=1.9|thumb|Spin doctor.]]
This exit brought them to [[Troja Major]], where the Curator [[Agonizer]] offered to pay the Scavengers a large sum of money for the retrieval of the [[Epistemus|Magnificence]], which had fallen into the hands of the former Autobot [[Flame (Marvel)|Flame]]. After agreeing to take the job, Spinister and the others were transported to the planet [[Confluence]], where they located Flame's Worldsweeper just before being attacked by a horde of [[Treecon|wooden robots]]. While Grimlock swiftly dealt with them, the Scavengers were then accosted by [[Scorponok (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Scorponok]], who summarily disabled Grimlock and apprehended the Scavengers.
After being tossed into a cell on the Worldsweeper, Krok had Spinister open up Grimlock to discover a cavity within the Dinobot made to hold the Magnificence. After Scorponok filled them in on the details surrounding Grimlock and the Magnificence, he reawakened the Dinobot and sicced him on the Scavengers, with Spinister getting his arm ripped off in the process. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (issue)|The Ties That Bind}}

[[File:KillAllCons ScavengersSurvive.jpg|upright=1.65|thumb|]]
While Scorponok left them to their fates, the Scavengers were able to pacify Grimlock after getting him to transform into his dinosaur form. Krok then had Spinister and Nickel disassemble the other Scavengers to make it look like Grimlock had murdered them; once the Dinobot had been taken away, the Scavengers put themselves back together and stormed the bridge to confront Scorponok. After revealing the [[Firstborn]] and his plan to raise an army of Decepticons through organic reproduction, Scorponok attempted to extract the Scavengers' sparks only to be stopped by Nickel using a prerecorded message from Tarn. Spinister and the others then made their escape to a transmat and set in coordinates for [[Garrus-9]] provided to them by the Magnificence. However, Grimlock elected to stay behind to protect the Firstborn and pushed the Scavengers into the portal before they could debate over it. Upon ending up in what appeared to be Garrus-9, Spinister and his pals found themselves locked in Grimlock's old cell. With the Magnificence non-respondent and no way to call for help, the Scavengers were well and truly helpless. {{storylink|Kill All 'Cons}}

Or so it seemed until [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]], while exploring a temple in what she believed to be the [[Transformer afterlife|Afterspark]], stumbled upon the Scavengers. {{storylink|The Everlasting Voices (2): The God War|The God War}} After a confrontation over misunderstandings, the Scavengers and Nautica soon figured out that "Garrus-9" and "the Afterspark" were both illusions generated by the euthanasia clinic [[Mederi]]. After recovering the body of [[Axe (G1)|Axe]] from one of the wards, the group met up with the rest of Nautica's crew and pieced together the mystery of Mederi – as well as the fact that Mederi was in fact the "[[Cyberutopia]]" that Nautica and her crewmates had been searching for. Before they could revel in their escape from Mederi's patient-killing program, the Scavengers and the Crusadercons were attacked by a horde of [[Sparkeater (creature)|sparkeaters]] created from the rest of the ''[[Lost Light]]'''s crew. {{storylink|The Everlasting Voices (3): You Are Here|You Are Here}}

[[File:Lustrare-SpinisterWipeout.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]
As the sparkeaters attacked, Spinister and the others were saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock, who was accompanied by [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]], [[Riptide (G1)|Riptide]], [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]], and [[Wipe-Out]]. When the ''Lost Light'' showed up, Crankcase and Grimlock went with [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]]' team to board the captured ship while Spinister and the other Scavengers barricaded themselves in Ward Zero with Mederi's telepaths. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 1): A Dance Before Dying|A Dance Before Dying}} While Spinister worked with "[[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|the angry doctor]]", Nickel was able to stop the sparkeaters by using Ward Zero's generator to cure them. Shortly after, the telepaths began to give an ominous countdown, culminating with a rift opening up in space. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 2): Lūstrāre|Lūstrāre}} The Scavengers and Crusadercons all hopped onto the recaptured ''Lost Light'' and went through the rift, ending up in a system comprising five replica Cybertrons. After landing on one of the Cybertrons, the crew were confronted by the forces of the [[Adaptus|Grand Architect]], who decided to let them aboard onto his Worldsweeper. As [[Froid]] and [[Sunder (G1)|Sunder]] filled them in on the Grand Architect's plan to use a "[[God Gun]]" to repel an oncoming threat, Spinister and the others noticed said God Gun open up another rift through space, bringing forth a fleet of ships led by [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]! {{storylink|Crucible (Part 3): Farsickness|Farsickness}}

[[File:TheReturnOfTheKing MegatronGreetsScavengers.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb]]
Only Megatron wasn't leading the fleet of ships but rather fleeing from them; the fleet itself turned out to belong to the [[Functionist Council]] of an [[Functionist Universe|alternate timeline]]... and among these forces was a planet-sized robot cast in the image of [[Primus]], made from said timeline's Cybertron. As "Primus" laid waste to the God Gun, Megatron's ship fired on the Grand Architect's Worldsweeper to free Spinister and the others, bringing them aboard the [[Last Light (ship)|''Last Light'']]. Spinister and his fellow Scavengers were all astonished when Megatron greeted them warmly and mentioned them by their names (and nicknames). {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} After meeting up with the rest of Rodimus' group on the ''Lost Light'', the assembled crew devised a plan to defeat the Functionist Council through the use of twelve [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrixes]] created by the real Primus, [[Rung (G1)|Rung]] (though from Spinister's perspective, it was just everyone taking turns to say things). {{storylink|Crucible (Part 5): The Unremembering|The Unremembering}} Once the Functionist Cybertron had been forced back into robot mode thanks to the timely arrival of [[Moonbase One|Luna 1]], the crew set their plan into motion. Heading down to the [[hot spot]] [[Automica]], Spinister provided cover fire for the Matrix-carrying Thunderclash as they were faced with Functionist forces. Although they were briefly overwhelmed, the pair was able to open their Matrix after an uplifting speech from Rodimus, sending its energies through the hot spot and into [[Vector Sigma]], where it vaporized the members of the Functionist Council. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 6): A Spark Among Embers|A Spark Among Embers}}

In the aftermath, the Scavengers attended a gathering at [[Swerve's]], where they made amends with Fortress Maximus. After the party had concluded and the ''Lost Light'' was disassembled, Spinister and his fellow Scavengers departed for Troja Major to meet up with CONS4EVA. In another universe, the Scavengers were [[quantum generator|quantum duplicated]] along with the entire crew of the ''Lost Light'', and prepared for some further adventures in their new setting. {{storylink|How To Say Goodbye And Mean It: Part 2}}

Spinister, Galvatron, and [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] were sent by [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] to rob the [[Autobot City Bank]]. In heavy disguise, they went in and got the drop on the bank tellers, only for [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]], and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] to turn up.

When Wheeljack and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] invaded the work site, Spinister and the other Kreons surrounded the pair.

**''Accessories'': Left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles
:[[BotCon 2012]]'s ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' version of Spinister is a [[redeco]] of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#HFTD|the 2010 ''Hunt for the Decepticons'']] Deluxe Class [[Tomahawk (TF 2010)#Toys|Tomahawk]] toy, with the alternate-tooling head used for ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Vortex (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Vortex]]. He transforms into a slightly futuristic strike helicopter with a rotating camera array under its cockpit, sporting an amalgamation of features from both the {{w|Eurocopter Tiger}} and the ADH-02 Hellhound attack helicopter from ''{{w|Patlabor}}''. He comes with two spring-loaded missile launchers that mount under his wings via [[5 mm post]]s, or can be attached to 3mm bars via their [[c joint]] clips. In [[robot mode]], he is armed with "snapping pincers" on his right forearm, while his missile launchers end up over his shoulders.

:Part of the [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service#Series 4.0 (2016)|Figure Subscription Service 4.0]], ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Spinister is a [[redeco]] of Deluxe Class [[Alpha Bravo#Generations|Alpha Bravo]], transforming into a helicopter that resembles an Aerospatiale Dauphin.

*'''Spinister''' (Deluxe Class, [[2019]])
**''ID number'': '''WFC-S48'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SG-42'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[January 25]], [[2020]]'''
**''Accessories'': "NFM Dual-[[Fusion cannon|Fusion Cannon]]," "Spin-Blast [[Particle beam cannon|Particle Beam Cannon]]"
:Despite not winning the [[Fan_polls#2018_.281.29|2018 ''War for Cybertron: Siege'' fan poll]], ''[[War_for_Cybertron:_Siege_(toyline)|Siege]]'' Spinister was still produced and released in the fifth and final wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Deluxes, converting from robot to Cybertronian helicopter and back. He comes with two weapons: the "NFM Dual-Fusion Cannon", and a "Spin-Blast Particle Beam Cannon", based off of his Targetmaster partners' weapon modes. In an undocumented but extremely obvious feature, his guns can be combined to form a single four-barreled gun the way the the original toy's Targetmasters could. He features battle damage paint applications in the form of silver dry-brushing on the center of his thighs and a brownish paint wash on his forearms. Despite the overall decrease in scale seen in the ''Siege'' line, Spinister stands as the tallest deluxe mold in the entire line, barely inching out Ironhide and Impactor. This roughly keeps him in scale with the recent releases of his fellow Scavengers figures in their depictions seen in the IDW comic.

:In an effort to reconcile the fact his G1 box art has the appearance of a complete cockpit for each shin, only one of Spinister's legs forms his alt mode's cockpit and nose, while the other is stored away, leaving him with another, identical cockpit section in his undercarriage. His spinning rotor sits in place in robot mode thanks a small fin-tab on his helicopter tail ending up sitting against the rotor-base in robot mode, nestled in a small divot in the base.

:He has two 5mm posts on his robot mode back rather than the one typical of Deluxe class figures of the Siege Subline, but they're covered by his helicopter blades by default and if the blades are rotated out of the way they're still hard to use anything (like a Weaponizer that's being used as a backpack) due to the proximity to his blades and his helicopter tail.

:The original stock renders included additional paint applications not present on the final toy, those being silver details on his mouthplate and shoulders, purple details on his chest, and a painted yellow plug on his abdomen. Also, stock renders for his helicopter mode showed both of his weapons being the same shade of blue as his lower body and legs, while the robot mode renders and the physical toy had his Dual-Fusion Cannon being in the same pink-ish purple color as his arms.

:Additionally, the ''Siege'' line also featured [[Battle Master]]s intended to represent Spinister's original Targetmaster partners, which are compatible with ''Siege'' Spinister: [[Singe#War for Cybertron: Siege|Singe]] was available by himself in wave 4, whereas Hairsplitter (now named "[[Hairsplitter#War for Cybertron: Siege|Shrute]]") was available as part of the [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive "Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron" set with [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Skywarp]].

:Strangely, Spinister’s instruction booklet uses the Autobot insignia and colour scheme.

==Notes==
*Spinister's ''Timelines'' bio card art depicts him wielding Vortex's [[MechTech]] weapon. The toy doesn't come with it, and there's no real evidence it was ever intended to.
*''Kre-O'' Spinister is one of the few Decepticon Kreons with blue eyes. Others include [[Wildrider (G1)#Kre-O|Brake-Neck]] and [[Windrazor (Prime)#Kre-O|Windrazor]].
*Spinister was one of the unsuccessful options in the 2018 [[Fan polls#2018 (1)|Fan poll]], paired with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. He was described as a saboteur, against Wheeljack's scientist, taking inspiration from his G1 toy bio.

:''Flywheels is a [[Decepticon]] [[Duocon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Flywheelsboxart.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Howitzer'd!]]

'''Flywheels''' (aka '''Skytread'''<ref name="skytread">"Skytread" is a substitute name used by Hasbro for new toys representing the ''Generation 1'' Flywheels character, ''presumably'' because the name "Flywheels" is currently not available as a [[trademark]], first used for a [[Titan Master]] figure from the [[Titans Return (toyline)|''Titans Return'' line]] released in 2016 and subsequently also for a Deluxe Class figure from the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|War for Cybertron: Siege]]'' line released in 2018. Furthermore, it was also used in ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'', where [[Skytread]] was a [[Nebulan|Nebulon]] [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] that was binary bonded to Flywheels.</ref>) tries to keep it together and stay upbeat, he really does, but it's hard when your mind (and often your body) is literally divided in two. A split personality would be trouble enough, but to add injury to illness, Flywheels' two halves are very jealous of each other and basically hate each other's guts. They spend more time fighting one another than the Autobots. It doesn't matter whether they're unified in robot form or not, Flywheels' two halves go right on arguing, which can be disconcerting to others around him, to say the least.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
[[File:Sixshotg1marvel.jpg|upright=0.6|thumb|"Hi. We're off to do other things now... elsewhere. Without you. Bye!"]]
Flywheels was a part of [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]'s army of Decepticons on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Upon learning the co-ordinates of the planet [[Nebulos]] from [[Zarak (G1)|Lord Zarak]], requesting the Decepticons help in ridding the [[Autobot]]s from his world, Scorponok ordered his army to lay siege to the alien planet. Flywheels was seen in jet mode as part of a battalion carrying Decepticons from their spacecraft to the surface of Nebulos, where he remained out of sight, away from the main events. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} Later, every Decepticon on the planet left Nebulos in pursuit of the Autobots to planet Earth. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

[[File:Zombieskalis.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.9]]
''Back on Cybertron, Flywheels appeared in a brief battle against [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and the [[Sparkabot]]s. He was knocked out of the air by Ultra Magnus and was captured by the [[Autobot]]s. As a prisoner, he was soon forced to fight with his captors against a horde of [[zombie]] Transformers in [[Kalis]]. Though the Autobots had taken away his blaster, Flywheels was still able to pull his own weight in destroying the encroaching horde by using his tank mode. After he realized that they were slaughtering former Autobots, Ultra Magnus ordered a cease-fire, hoping they might instead come up with the means to revert the zombies to a fully-living state. Flywheels disobeyed Ultra Magnus' order, but soon stood down when his captors threatened to blast him next. The group retreated to a nearby building, where they puzzled out that they were indeed fighting the dead, but the zombots hadn't been risen through supernatural means; rather, a powerful radio-signal was controlling the motor functions of Cybertronian corpses. With this information in mind, Flywheels led Ultra Magnus to the [[Baird Beaming Transmitter]] so they could jam the signal. Reluctantly, Ultra Magnus returned Flywheels his weapons, so that the Decepticon could watch his back while he worked on shutting down the zombies. This proved fortuitous for Magnus, as Flywheels saved his life from a zombie who had managed to sneak up on him, just as he was finishing up his task.'' {{storylink|City of Fear!}} ''Ultra Magnus then allowed Flywheels to go and get reinforcements, though he had little expectation of the Duocon's return.'' {{storylink|Legion of the Lost!}} ''Surprisingly, Flywheels did come back with [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] to give the remaining zombots a good stomping, and force his way into the inner sanctum of the crazed scientist, [[Flame (Marvel)|Flame]], responsible for the entire Kalis incident.'' {{storylink|Meltdown!}}

''He later joined the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] and took part in their joint attack with the [[Wrecker]]s on [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] and [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]. He was one of only three Mayhems to escape alive from the gruesome twosome's base, but was killed by Galvatron after the retreat to the Decepticons' [[Decepticon heavy transport|heavy transport]].''<ref>Although Flywheels's death is not shown, Galvatron [[:File:Galvatron flywheels.jpg|grabs him by the right arm]] during his and Megatron's assault on the Mayhems' ship, and his corpse (with the right arm torn off at the shoulder) [[:File:Time wars casualties.png|can be seen on the ground]] just before Rodimus Prime and the other Autobots intervene to save the remaining Wreckers and Mayhems. It's pretty clear what happened off-panel.</ref> {{storylink|Time Wars}}

Flywheels took part in [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s attack on the [[Baird Beaming Transmitter]] in [[Kalis]], where he berated [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] for making too much noise. {{storylink|Counterpoint}}

====''Transformers '84''====
[[File:TF84 FlywheelsDullBot.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2]]
Flywheels, along with [[Battletrap]] and [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]], was part of a Decepticon unit under [[Wingspan]]'s command. They followed the Autobots [[Fastlane]] and [[Cloudraker (G1)|Cloudraker]] to [[Earth]] in [[1017]], intent on locating the long-lost [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. Eager for action, Flywheels and Battletrap headed off to scout the terrain, leaving Wingspan alone with Counterpunch. When the Duocons returned they found Wingspan had been ''mysteriously'' killed and, blaming the Autobots, the three Decepticons headed off to confront them. In the ensuing battle, Flywheels was able to gravely wound Cloudraker, but was in turn shot down by Fastlane. {{storylink|Transformers '84 issue 0|'84 #0}}

[[File:DuelAsteroid Flywheels.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|What is this ominous light that threatens to engulf us?]]
Flywheels, alongside [[Battletrap]], worked under [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], who first sent them into battle when the Autobots and Decepticons were fighting over a [[Floppy disk|disk]] containing data on the [[Master Sword]]. The Duocons' double amount of vehicle modes was enough to overwhelm the Autobot [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]], and the Decepticons quickly grabbed the disk and retreated. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Flywheels soon appeared again to defend Scorponok as he used the disk's data to manufacture the [[Zarak Shield]]. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}}

The Duocons' next mission was to hide a time bomb on the asteroid [[Juno]], so that Scorponok could blow up [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] when the two arrived for their duel. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}} Flywheels later participated in the climactic battle against the Autobots at the [[Arctic|North Pole]] and retreated into space when Scorponok put his plan to destroy the [[Earth]] into motion. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

====''Legends'' comic====
[[File:LegendsManga Vol40 Flywheel.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
In 2021, Flywheels was among Scorponok's Decepticons who battled [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]]'s Autobots near a [[black hole]], where he got his butt handed to him by [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]]. Scorponok's detonation of the black hole caused the combatants to lose their bodies, and they were forced to convert their heads into small [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] forms and travel to the [[Legends World]] in search of new ones. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Prologue}} Flywheels joined up with the [[Astrotrain Transport Company]] for a free body, only to be enslaved by [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] until he and the other Headmasters were able to escape. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 40|Bonus Edition Vol. 40}} Now unemployed, Flywheels used his speed to pick pockets until he met [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]], an alternate version of Scorponok from another dimension. Tempted by his offer of a new body, he figured any Scorponok was worth being loyal to and agreed to recruit additional soldiers to his cause, convincing [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] and Brawn to join him at his "new workplace". When Zarak moved to conquer the world, however, Flywheels was punched out by an angry Grimlock, then swatted into the distance by Zarak for daring to suggest he could help by forming Scorponok's head. {{storylink|LGEX Headmaster Set Chapter}}

Flywheels was unfortunate enough to be hanging around in [[Akihabara]] when [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] landed on top of it. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|Bonus Edition Vol. 43}} When Scorponok arrived in the Legends World, he had Flywheels sneak into the local [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department|police station]], steal the keys to the jail and break out [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]], [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]] and the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]]. After stealing [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]'s [[transtector]], he also broke [[Katsu Don]] out to aid in Scorponok's plan. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One|Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One}} Flywheels was on board Scorponok's [[Majin Zarak]] during the final battle for the Legends World. When the other Headmasters abandoned ship, Flywheels was apparently still on board when Scorponok and Majin Zarak were blasted into a dimensional void, trapping him as well. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger!

Flywheels and the Decepticon [[Clone (subgroup)|Clones]] volunteered for [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]'s mission to make [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]'s weekend more interesting. Whether they succeeded was never recorded. {{storylink|The Test (issue)|The Test}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:Duocons from MtMtE -8.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|"It is only logical that there will be no side-effects from this whatsoever."]]
[[Battletrap]] and Flywheels were created by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] as early prototypes for his [[Triple Changer]] fascination. Instead of achieving three alternating modes, however, they gained the ability to separate into two different alternate modes at once. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye#Issue #8|More Than Meets The Eye #8}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Rules of Disengagement (issue)|''More Than Meets The Eye'' #7]]}}

Flywheels was a "twitchy [[Neoprimalism|neoprimalist]] with big feet" who suffered from a possibly made-up form of psychosomatic hyperflexia that caused him to change form when he lied. {{storylink|Rules of Disengagement (issue)|Rules of Disengagement}} During the war, he was stationed at [[Grindcore (prison)|Grindcore]], where he outfitted new prisoners such as [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] with nasty transformation-hindering [[inhibitor spike]]s. {{storylink|Speak, Memory: Part 1}}

[[File:KillAllCons-TheForagers.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]
At some point he was captured by the Autobots and imprisoned in [[Garrus-9]]. After [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]]'s sacking of the prison, Flywheels was allowed to leave as part of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s crew. Not far out of the [[Elba System]], their ship was intercepted by the [[Decepticon Justice Division]]. Flywheels and [[Flame (Marvel)|Flame]] used the ship's comm system to eavesdrop on the communication between Shockwave and [[Tarn (DJD)|Tarn]], discovering that their liberator was willing to sell them all out to save himself, as pretty much everyone on the ship was on "[[The List]]" of transgressors to the Decepticon cause. When Tarn rejected the offer and began to use his weaponized voice, they cut the eavesdropping and, along with [[Scorponok (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Scorponok]], abandoned ship, figuring that ejecting themselves without direction in space presented better odds of survival. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (issue)|The Ties That Bind}} Floating aimlessly in the direction of the [[Dark Nebula]], Flywheels began praying for salvation, which came in the form of [[Krok (G1)#2005 IDW continuity|Krok]] and [[Spinister (G1)#2005 IDW continuity|Spinister]], and their [[Weak Anthropic Principle|hijacked prisoner escort ship]]. He joined the hodge-podge crew, though he wasn't taken with their name for themselves. {{storylink|Kill All 'Cons}}

[[File:Flywheels tesarus whos afraid of the djd.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9|left|Flywheels about to feel the agony of "de feet."]]
Flywheels became part of Krok's ragtag Decepticon crew along with [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]], Spinister, and [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]]. Searching for [[energon]] and supplies on the planet [[Clemency]], Flywheels mistook the still-living body of [[Fulcrum]] firstly for a miracle and then for a [[zombie]] and an affront to [[Primus]]. Once that misunderstanding had been sorted out the group then chanced upon a P-6 [[Worldsweeper]], a type of [[Starship|ship]] that Flywheels noted was famous only for "crashing". What they found on board the ship, such as aborted [[protoform]]s, disconnected [[brain module]]s and a robot apparently made out of wood was disturbing enough, but then they were contacted by the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] through Flywheels' [[communicube]] and given an ultimatum to surrender one of their number so that the other six could watch him die. As there were only six of them the group reasoned that the D.J.D. must have miscounted, until Krok discovered that the ship also contained [[Grimlock (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Grimlock]] in a [[stasis pod]]. {{storylink|Rules of Disengagement (issue)|Rules of Disengagement}}

After agreeing on the seemingly-suicidal plan to fight their way out, the Scavengers spiked Grimlock's stasis pod with [[circuit speeder]]s and left him out for the D.J.D. to find. While [[Tarn (DJD)|Tarn]] battled the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] leader, the rest of the Decepticons tried to slip away but were ambushed in turn by the rest of the D.J.D. When Flywheels's feet proved too big for [[Tesarus (DJD)|Tesarus]] to do his usual "grind them up feet first to make the death last longer" bit, he simply stuffed the praying Flywheels into his grinder head-first, leaving only his lower half intact. After the D.J.D. abandoned the fight for a new priority target (believing their primary target, Fulcrum, was dead) the surviving Scavengers looted Flywheels's remains for spare parts and [[energon]]. Eighteen months later, what little of him was left was examined by the [[Mortilus|Necrobot]]. {{storylink|Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|Who's Afraid of the DJD?}}

===2019 IDW continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[The World In Your Eyes Part Two|''Transformers'' issue #2]]

[[File:TheWorldInYourEyesPart3 AscenticonGuardVolunteers.jpg|right|upright=1.6|thumb]]
Skytread was a supporter of the [[Decepticon|Ascenticons]], and attended a rally held by [[Megatron (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Megatron]] in [[Tarn (polity)#2019 IDW continuity|Tarn]]. As Megatron delivered his speech, unknown assailants attacked, seemingly trying to assassinate the Ascenticon leader before vanishing. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Two}}

Using the attack and the recent murder of [[Brainstorm (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Brainstorm]] as justification, Megatron formed his own private [[Ascenticon Guard|security force]], comprising Skytread, [[Elita One (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Elita-1]], [[Reflector (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Refraktor]], and [[Quake (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Quake]], drawing the concern of [[Security Operations]] and [[Autobot]] senator [[Optimus Prime (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Orion Pax]]. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}}

[[File:TheCracksBeneathYourFeetPt1 SkytreadRefraktor.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.0]]
After the murder of the newly-forged [[Rubble]] and a [[Voin]], Quake disappeared from the Guard. Rubble's mentor, [[Bumblebee (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] joined the guard shortly afterwards, claiming that he wanted to be part of a solution to Cybertron's current chaotic state. While Elita-1 welcomed him, Skytread and Refraktor greeted him with hostility, obliquely threatening to "break" him if he double-crossed them. Despite Bumblebee stating that Ascenticon second-in-command [[Soundwave (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] had left it to Elita-1 to allow him in, Skytread became more aggressive, insulting Bumblebee for his poor record in Security Operations and his failure to keep Rubble safe, and even pushing him. Enraged, Bumblebee punched Skytread in the face. When Refraktor attempted to attack Bumblebee from behind, he received an elbow to the face before Skytread tackled Bumblebee, only for the new recruit to sweep his legs. Angered by the behaviour of her comrades, Elita-1 quickly broke up the fight. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part One}}.

As unrest continued, the Ascenticon Guard gained more recruits, including [[Barricade (IDW)|Barricade]], a former member of Security Operations who had been implicated in the murders of Rubble and the Voin. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Three}} Security Operations soon reached Ascenticon headquarters, and [[Prowl (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Prowl]] requested that he be allowed to question his former comrade. Flanked by Skytread and [[Acid Storm (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Acid Storm]], Soundwave refused. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four}}

As Security Operations cordoned off Ascenticon Headquarters, Megatron and Soundwave discussed the truth. Brainstorm, had been killed by The Rise, a terrorist group that Megatron publicly opposed, but was actually in charge of. The Voin had witnessed the murder, and had been killed by Quake based on information from Barricade. Rubble had stumbled upon Quake, and was quickly murdered himself. Aware that Barricade's capture could expose him, Megatron ordered The Rise’s direct commander, [[Shockwave (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], to carry out a false-flag attack on Ascenticon Headquarters to evacuate Barricade.

[[File:TheChangeInYourNaturePt1 BumblebeeBeatsSkytread.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.2]]
As a secret member of The Rise, Skytread guarded Barricade as he prepared to be extracted, only for Bumblebee, himself secretly spying on behalf of Orion Pax, to join them. Despite his best efforts, Skytread was unable to get the spy to leave. As [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]], [[Whisper (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Visper]], and [[Storm Cloud (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Storm Cloud]] breached the building, Bumblebee attempted to stun Visper, only for Skytread to shield his fellow Riser with his body. While he lay stunned, Bumblebee attempted to fight off Visper and Sixshot, only for Skytread to recover and stun the interloper, allowing Barricade to escape. Later, Skytread was present when Megatron used the attack as justification for the Ascenticons taking a more aggressive approach, and unveiling the movement's new insignia. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Five}}

After being branded with the new insignia, Skytread was confronted by Bumblebee for his behaviour during the attack. Refusing to tell him anything, and stating that he should be thankful for stopping Sixshot from killing him, Skytread was blinded by Bumblebee's headlamp before being punched and kicked in the face. Once again, Elita-1 broke up the fight, and claimed that Skytread had saved Bumblebee's life by accidentally stunning him. Bumblebee, however, questioned how much she actually knew about her Guard. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part One}}

After Elita-1 was removed as leader of the Guard, Soundwave promoted Skytread to the position, who quickly began sadistically flaunting his new authority over Bumblebee. In the aftermath of the [[Tether]]'s fall, Skytread ordered Bumblebee to search the ruins of a collapsed structure for survivors on his own, secretly knowing that he was sending the spy into [[Treadshot (G1)|an arranged ambush]] to be eliminated at Megatron's behest. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down}}

*'''Flywheels''' (Duocon, [[1987]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-97'''
**''Accessories:'' "Laser cannon" pistol
:Flywheels' [[robot mode]] is made from the combination of two separate vehicles that make up his [[alternate mode]]: a maroon [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#F-4 Phantom|F-4 Phantom II fighter jet]] and a brown self-propelled howitzer of vague origin. Pressing the jet onto the tank's turret via friction-hold tabs triggers a spring-loaded [[autotransformation]] into the combined robot mode. Splitting the robot into the two vehicles is an entirely manual affair, however.

:His only robot-mode articulation is the sideways-swinging movement of his arms at the shoulder, but thankfully his rifle has a [[5 mm post]] on the back end so it can at least point forward in robot mode, even if he has to hold it like a sword to do so. The rifle can also be mounted on the tank's front end or on the underside of the jet nosecone.

*'''Skytread''' (Titan Master, [[2016]])
**''Accessories:'' Tank accessory
:A [[retool]] of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Horri-Bull#Generations|Terri-Bull]], Skytread (presumably renamed for [[trademark]] reasons) is a small robot who can transform into a Flywheels head that is compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger ''Titans Return'' figure. He is packaged with a small vehicle accessory redecoed from Terri-Bull's, which can form a tank for Skytread to ride in robot mode, a [[5 mm post|5mm]] gun for larger figures to wield, or combine with Skytread to form a jet. Due to the sculpt of the head mode face, it can be difficult to get Skytread himself in and out of the jet configuration.

:The gun barrels connect to the tank turret via 3mm [[C joint]]s. This allows them to pivot up and down, as well as clip onto other compatible figures.

:As with Terri-Bull, the upper portion of Skytread's legs has been installed backwards. Due to this, his legs have a problem folding down in head mode if not fixed. This appears to have been fixed in the Australian release.

:This toy also doubles as the separate ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' character [[Skytread]]. It was re-issued along with Nightbeat for the fourth wave of Titan Masters alongside [[Shuffler#Generations|Shuffler]] and [[Repugnus (G1)#Generations|Repugnus]], which unfortunately became prominent shelfwarmers.

**''ID number:'' '''WFC-S10'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SG-11'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 30]], [[2019]]'''
**''Accessories:'' "HV Electron Breacher," EM24 IR Laser Launcher" (combine to form "LRRF Suspension-Ray Super-Launcher")

:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Skytread consists of a jet and Cybertronian tank which can transform and combine to form his [[robot mode]]. He includes the "EM24 IR Laser Launcher" and the "HV Electron Breacher," two guns compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], which can combine to form the "LRRF Suspension-Ray Super-Launcher," form his tank barrels in vehicle mode or be added to the jet mode. Unlike his fellow [[Duocon]] ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' [[Battletrap#Generations|Battletrap]], Skytread's components do not have their own robot modes, although this results in a noticeably more stable figure. Skytread does however use the same connection port and plug system as Battletrap, allowing for mixing and matching between the four components. Skytread features far fewer battle damage paint applications than the rest of the toyline, they are all on the tank mode/lower legs. He features multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:Many Skytreads have an issue where the tank mode turret will not tab together properly, and there is not enough clearance to securely mount the tank barrel in position. This is due to a set of raised ridges on the inside of the legs, just above the ankle joints, that are a bit too tall and push the robot waist in tank mode up ''just'' enough to prevent proper connections. Carving these ridges down a bit will fix the issue. On some examples of the toy, the leg panels do not peg into the waist properly, though this can be amended by pressing it down with a hammer's head. Repeating this method during transformation will finally fix this issue.

:Skytread was retooled into [[Slamdance (G1)#Generations|Slamdance]].

:Raider Skytread, Special Ops-Soldier was released as part of Wave 4 of the [[Transformers Trading Card Game]], War for Cybertron: Siege II. In order to depict the character's Duocon origins, Skytread begins the game as two separate cards in Alt Mode, one depicting his tank half and the other depicting his plane half. Once one of the two Alt Mode cards is KO'd, his '''Revenge''' ability activates, allowing the player to combine the two Alt Mode cards into one Combiner Mode, depicting Skytread's robot mode.

:The artwork for the card is based on the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Skytread toy, with the art for both Alt Modes being reused from said toy's packaging art.

==Notes==
*It's often speculated that Battletrap and Flywheels' names were mistakenly swapped during production, as the rollers of tank treads are not generally thought of as wheels. Their names are even swapped in the ''Headmasters'' episode "[[The Master Sword Is in Danger!!]]".
*In IDW's original G1 continuity, Flywheels is a [[Triple Changer]] as opposed to a Duocon, changing between a jet and a tank similarly to Blitzwing.

'''Barricade''' is a police officer. Though aggressive, violent, unpleasant, and probably ''thoroughly'' corrupt, he does have a certain sense of honor and pride in his role as a peacekeeper... though he interprets that job description rather loosely.

{{TOCclear}}

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
{{note|The Barricade who appears in Phase 2 of the [[2005 IDW continuity]] is a composite of the police car Barricade and the [[Barricade (G1)|Micromaster Barricade]].}}

[[File:ForeverIsALongTimeComing-Barricade.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3|#ADAB]]
Barricade was a Decepticon police officer who settled on [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]'s post-war Cybertron to rebuild a peaceful society, though unlike others he refused to join the [[NAIL|neutrals]] out of faith in the true Decepticon cause—equality. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}} Despite this, he wasn't above 'collecting' pre-war [[shanix]] on the side. {{storylink|The Transformers: Redemption|Redemption}}

He participated in the investigation of the murders of [[Wilder (Masterforce)|Wilder]], [[Brisko]], and [[Treadshot (IDW)|Treadshot]], stressing that the victims were ''Cybertronians'' and not just some "'Cons", though Starscream thought it unimportant and advised him to take it easy with the investigation. {{storylink|City of Steel (issue)|City of Steel}} After three more Decepticons were found dead, Barricade recognized one of the victims as [[Stratotronic]], leading the investigation onward to [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (issue)|Fight or Flee}} Following the fiery death of Gutcruncher and even more Decepticons, Barricade joined [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] in apprehending the primary suspects, the [[Firecon]]s. {{storylink|Quest for Fire}}

[[File:Redemption BarricadeSwiftShanix.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.5|"I don't get it, Barry. You're a millionaire, and you've got all the babes you want! Why aren't you living it up in your palace in Europe?"{{-}} "Well...let's just say I...hate crime."]]
The Firecons were proven innocent and Barricade went on to help investigate a ''fourth'' murder scene. This time, Starscream ordered him to gather a crew and raze buildings in the Decepticon ghetto in hopes of getting someone to squeal, but he rejected the order, refusing to turn on his fellow Decepticons, an act that earned him praise from [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}} Barricade then helped Prime with his plan to lure out the killer by using the Dinobots as bait, dropping the Autobot team through a trap door to keep them out of danger. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (issue)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

Following Cybertron's newfound alliance with [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], Barricade got into a relationship with the Camien [[Swift (G1)|Swift]], and together with [[Strafe (IDW)|Strafe]] they made plans to transport a truckload of Camien [[spark]]s to [[Alyon]] where they could grow. Not wanting bigshots like Starscream or Optimus Prime to learn of their plan, Barricade instead approached [[Slag (G1)|Slug]], whom he'd recently arrested, and offered him pay in exchange for aid from the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. He didn't trust Slug enough to tell him what the mission was for and thus the Dinobots, who assumed he was entirely corrupt after learning where their pay would be coming from, planned to snitch on him to the [[Badgeless]]; he'd likely die and they'd get a briefcase of dirty [[Shanix]] anyway! (Slug changed that plan after learning what the ''real'' cause was)

[[File:Redemption BarricadeCarMode.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5|Not a fan of hickeys, we suppose.]]
The journey was long and hazardous, the travelers being menaced by Badgeless, [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]], and mutated [[turbofox]]es, but Slug always urged the others to keep moving, eventually causing Barricade to realize he knew what the secret shipment really was. Moved by Slug's unexpected compassion, he promised to carry on... only to be cut down by [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], who sought to destroy the sparks. As he lay bisected, he apologized to Swift for his failure before Bludgeon ignited the truck's fuel, destroying both Barricade and the sparks.

To everyone's surprise, Alyon already ''had'' a field of sparks forming naturally and by inadvertently bringing everyone over to stop Bludgeon desecrating it, Barricade had succeeded. Slug was pretty sure Barricade would have been glad to die for that. Afterwards, Slug told Swift that when the Badgeless came back, she should tell them that they'd kidnapped her and Barricade and that the cop had "died protecting Cybertron". {{storylink|The Transformers: Redemption|Redemption}}

Swift would later join the Decepticons on the strength of Barricade's rose-tinted explanations of the cause. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}} This would not last however, as she soon learned Barricade's attitude was far from the norm for a modern Decepticon. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable}}

:*''First appearance:'' [[The World In Your Eyes Part Four|''Transformers'' issue #4]]
[[File:TheCracksBeneathYourFeetPart3 BarricadeBee.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.0|It's [[2007]] all over again.]]
Barricade was a member of Cybertron's [[Security Operations]]; in the days that followed [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]]'s murder, Barricade and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] were tasked with tracking possible members of [[The Rise]]. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}} Barricade resented being called away from this task to provide additional security at a forging ceremony at the [[Pyramid (Cybertron)|Pyramid]] in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], and encountered [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] breaking up a scuffle. When Bumblebee's ward [[Rubble]] offered his assistance in regards to the Brainstorm investigation, an irritated Prowl told the two to leave. Barricade demeaned them after they departed, but Prowl told his colleague to cut the pair some slack. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}}

Prowl, however, was not aware that Barricade himself had ties to the controversial [[Decepticon|Ascenticon]] faction. When Prowl and his subordinates began combing the Iaconian underworld for news regarding a [[Voin]] who had, apparently witnessed Brainstorm's murder and possessed incriminating information on Brainstorm's killer, it was Barricade who first learned of the Voin's whereabouts from the black market dealer [[Headlock (G1)|Headlock]]. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Three}} In short order, Barricade passed this knowledge along to the Ascenticon [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], who, in turn, got in touch with [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], clandestine leader of [[The Rise]], to eliminate this loose end. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Five}} However, the operation quickly went south, as Shockwave's hitman, the notoriously unstable [[Quake (G1)|Quake]], not only killed the Voin, but also Rubble. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Five}} Realizing that he would soon be found out, Barricade abandoned Security Operations in favor of a new life in the [[Ascenticon Guard]]. The undercover Bumblebee was shocked to see him being recruited with none of the troubles he had gone through to get in. Barricade shrugged this off as simply having more desirable qualities to the Guard than Bumblebee did. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Three}} When Prowl figured out that Barricade had double-crossed him, the Ascenticon Guard and Security Operations engaged in a standoff outside of Ascenticon Headquarters—a standoff that lasted until Shockwave was able to orchestrate a phony "attack" that ended with Barricade being "kidnapped" by [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] and safely extricated. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Five}}

When reporting in to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Orion Pax]] and [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], Bumblebee learned that Barricade was partially responsible for Rubble's murder, infuriating him. After Barricade had relocated to one of The Rise's secret bunkers, [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]] played a prank on him by directing him to the wrong personal quarters. He ended up entering [[Shadow Striker (G1)|Shadow Striker]]'s room and was promptly and forcefully ejected by her, much to Flamewar's amusement. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}}

Barricade arrived at the cinema in response before Optimus and Megatron could exchange blows. Roaring into transformation, he taunted Drift saying if he felt lucky bringing knives to a shootout, and this fight will be his fade to black. He also called him "granolabot". {{storylink| Transformers: Earth Wars| Direct the Dialogue week 2}}

Barricade was waiting restlessly in the Decepticon base when Shockwave summoned him to the Space Bridge Hub for a dangerous secret mission. Starscream wished him luck, which Onslaught explained that he meant he expected him to fail. Barricade replied that those that underestimate him will end up as roadkill.

A bot with a reckless full-tilt approach is who Shockwave needed to send through the multiverse to find new recruits. Taking steps to ensure that Barricade fails, Starscream sent [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Hun-Gurrr]] after him. {{storylink| Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Event Horizon}}

Both [[Drift (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Drift]] and Barricade arrive in an [[Live-action film series|alternate universe with ceaseless fighting]], and Barricade immediately fell in love with it. When Barricade confronted Drift, he gave fighting talk before engaging him head-on. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Outlaws}}

Barricade considered sticking around and partying after tagging someone with his cross-dimensional beacon. But he suddenly felt an inferiority complex when the warzone's gigantic military ordnance started aiming and shooting at him and Drift. He managed to bag a [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], but nothing happened. Just then Barricade was tackled by Hun-Gurrr, and he activated his dimensional jump key and transported them both to another universe. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Critical Mass}}

In [[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|a new, garish universe]], Barricade deduced Hun-Gurrr's true intentions and subsequently convinced Hun-Gurrr to team up. Dismissing the current universe due to its colors giving him a headache, Barricade and Hun-Gurrr departed once more. Arriving in [[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|another universe]], the duo witnessed [[Megatron (Armada)|the local Megatron]] and concluded that they had found an ideal candidate. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Worlds Collide}}

:Part of the fourth wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Barricade is a new-head [[retool]] of [[Prowl (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Prowl]], transforming into a Cybertronian police car. He has multiple [[5 mm post]] holes to accommodate [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] accessories and parts. He also features multiple hardpoints to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. His two "HF Siren-Blast Punisher Cannons" can be mounted on these points, or the slots on his hood/shoulders, as well as combine into a larger double-barreled blaster. He also includes a light bar that can be mounted on his roof or wherever else you care to. The bar has an indent in its top that, despite being rectangular, still fits 5 mm posts very well.

: Initial stock renders depict his forearms and upper waist being painted black, but as those parts were molded with [[unpaintable plastic]], the final product obviously does not have that deco. TakaraTomy stock photography featured Barricade with "To punish and enslave" in [[Alphabet#Autobot_script|Autobot script]] under "Police", but was removed from the final product.

: Barricade's instructions do not mention the light bar accessory.

: Barricade is the only one of the figures using this mold and its retools to have any 'battle damage' paint; his is limited to his front fenders. His car doors read "Police" in Autobot script, identical to his moldmate Prowl.

: He was redecoed into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Smokescreen (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Smokescreen]]; his robot mode was based on [[Guido Guidi]]'s [https://www.deviantart.com/guidoguidi/art/80-Retro-style-G1-Barricade-black-version-280192563 Generation 1 Smokescreen-styled iteration of the the live-action film character], as Hasbro brought Guidi on for the ''Siege'' design process.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Guido_Guidi/status/1102605582912180226 Tweet by @Guido_Guidi, 4 March 2019]</ref> The original version of the mold was also used to make [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Bluestreak]].

[[File:G1 Hound reissueart1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Rejected as [[kid-appeal character]]. Why? Not [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|yellow]] enough.]]
'''Hound''' wishes he were [[human]]. The dark, barren metalscapes of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] no longer interest him. Now that Hound has been shipwrecked on [[Earth]], he considers this planet his home. He sees humankind as beautiful and wishes he could interact with their ecosphere the same way they do, to feel what they feel and to see what they see.

He treasures his job as an Autobot scout, making good use of his ability to project [[hologram]]s for added disguise. He uses this opportunity to explore the breathtaking caverns and mountainous expanses that Earth provides. He's a meek, benevolent soul, even compared to his fellow Autobots. He gets along with the [[Cliffjumper (G1)|more blood-thirsty of their ranks]] but not the [[Blades (G1)|''most'' blood-thirsty of their ranks]].

His nicknames are '''Sarge''', '''Nose''', and '''Sniffer'''.<ref>''[[The Transformers Comics Magazine]]''</ref>

[[File:Houndfirstappearance.jpg|left|upright=0.6|thumb|Hi, I'm friendly!]]
''In the early years of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Hound was serving alongside [[Tempest (G1)|Tempest]] and [[Pulsar (G1)|Pulsar]] under [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] shortly before he was made overall Autobot leader by the [[Council of Autobot Elders|High Council]].'' {{storylink|And There Shall Come...a Leader!}} Hound was a part of the crew on board the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] when it crashed into [[Earth]] four million years ago while clearing an asteroid field in the path of Cybertron. Upon reviving in [[1984]], Hound marveled at this world's strange and diverse lifeforms, and couldn't wait to explore its surface—not for business, but for pleasure. However, Optimus Prime cautioned him, reminding Hound that their primary purpose was to spare Earth's inhabitants from the onslaught of the Decepticons. Hound was chosen as part of the first field expedition into the world under [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]]'s command, and his new surroundings overwhelmed him. His sensors alerted them to a [[Community Drive-In|drive-in movie theatre]], a serene scene that quickly turned into a battle when the Decepticons arrived. Hound was able to divert [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ravage]], though Hound worried more about [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]]'s whereabouts, as the small scout had gone missing. {{storylink|The Transformers (issue)|The Transformers}}

[[File:Tellhimwhodefeatedyouthisday.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|"Ravage, who defeated you this day?!" "Uh, the guy that Jazz keeps getting colored as, I think?"]]
Fortunately, Bumblebee was later able to radio his location to Hound, who informed the other Autobots. Better still, he had located a [[human]] who could convert Earth fuel into a substance they could use! Hound and the others traveled to the home (and auto repair shop) of [[Sparkplug Witwicky]], where they were, of course, attacked again by the Decepticons! [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] apologized for leaping in front of Hound to get closer to their enemies, but Hound was fine with it so long as Decepticons were destroyed one way or the other. Unfortunately, the Decepticons left the battle with their prize, Sparkplug Witwicky, in the hopes that the human could convert fuel for them instead! {{storylink|Power Play!}}

The battle left Hound and Sideswipe low on fuel, so Optimus Prime offered to carry the two home inside his trailer. After Hound had been attended to, he and the other Autobots met with the amazing [[Spider-Man]], who offered to help them rescue Sparkplug from the Decepticons' [[Fortress Sinister|cliffside headquarters]]. Hound drove Spider-Man past the Earth military blockade himself with Spider-Man posing as his driver, but Hound stayed behind to help draw the Decepticons' fire while Spider-Man and [[Gears (G1)|Gears]] slipped into the headquarters. {{storylink|Prisoner of War!}}

''Following this, he was present when the Autobots countered the Decepticons when the latter attacked the [[Sherman Dam]], hoping to steal its energy. At Prime's order, Hound submerged into the water to locate the source of the dam's problems and found [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]]. After a fight between the two, Hound was blasted out of the water by Rumble's piledrivers. The sight of this distracted Optimus Prime during his fight with [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] atop the dam, and Megatron was able to use this distraction to knock Prime from the dam.'' {{storylink|Decepticon Dam-Busters!}} ''Back at the Ark, Hound alerted Optimus Prime to an imminent Decepticon attack.'' {{storylink|Raiders of the Last Ark}}

When Hound was next seen, he was hanging from the ceiling of the Ark with the other Autobots, the work of the evil Decepticon [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]], who had returned and taken leadership of the Decepticons for himself. [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]] was shocked to discover this terrible development, and the human returned to tell [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ratchet]], the sole Autobot survivor. {{storylink|The New Order}} Ratchet was eventually able to restore the Ark to the Autobots after outwitting Megatron, and Hound and the others were repaired. However, Optimus Prime's head was still in the hands of the Decepticons. {{storylink|DIS-Integrated Circuits!}}

Hound's next mission involved stopping [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] from sending a message to the Decepticons back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], but matters were complicated when they faced the newly created [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. Their merging into the mighty [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] did not help things, either, but thanks to help from [[Bomber Bill]], a human trucker, the communications array was destroyed before the entire message could be sent. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}}

[[File:Houndholomap.jpg|left|upright=1.6|thumb|Google Maps later rendered Hound obsolete.]]
The conversations of Shockwave's Decepticons, stationed at [[Blackrock Aerospace Assembly Plant Number One]], were being listened in on by Hound and the other Autobots, and so they overheard Shockwave's plans to dispose of Prime's head now that he was no longer useful to them. Hound led a long Autobot convoy out to rescue their leader, {{storylink|Brainstorm!}} and headed to the swamp where Shockwave planned to dump Prime's head. They were able to form a human-chain to rescue the head from sinking to the bottom of it, but when the head was placed on Optimus Prime's body, it attacked them. This was not the real head of Optimus Prime, but an imposter head controlled by Shockwave! A group of Decepticons led by Soundwave joined the imposter Optimus Prime in destroying them, but during the course of battle the real head was restored and the Decepticons defeated. Hound was one of the few Autobots left standing. {{storylink|Prime Time!}}

[[File:Houndravagecrisisofcommand.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Noticing a pattern?]]
''Now that Prime and the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] had been returned to them, Hound was one of the Autobots who opposed using the Matrix to create [[Ultimate Autobot|super-warriors]]. Soon after, he assisted [[Mirage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Mirage]] in capturing Ravage, who had been spying on the Autobots' debate. But Ravage's capture was part of the Decepticon's plan; once Ravage learned what he wanted to know, he escaped. Hound learned of the spy's departure when Optimus demanded to know why he was still in the base instead of chasing Ravage down; Bumblebee had been tasked with telling Hound of their prisoner's escape, but had opted to try and recapture Ravage himself! The Autobots learned that Bumblebee in turn had gotten himself captured, and Optimus was the one who ultimately retrieved him. His sense of self rejuvenated by the experience, Prime announced before Hound and the others that he had settled on not creating super-warriors, and that the debate was closed.'' {{storylink|Crisis of Command!}} ''When the rogue [[Swoop (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Swoop]], under the control of the human [[Peter Anthony Morris|Professor Morris]], attacked the Ark, it fell to Hound and [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] to give him the "old Autobot one-two". It worked, though upon recovering his mind, Swoop flew away. Following him to a [[Roxxon Oil]] facility, Hound and the other Autobots found the Dinobot lucid—for all of about two seconds before his primary [[cybo-dendron]]s, damaged after four million years in a tar pit, finally burned out and he attacked them again. With the assistance of Morris and his [[neural relay link]], they were able to subdue Swoop and return him to the Ark for treatment.'' {{storylink|The Icarus Theory}}

Hound was next seen being reconstructed, along with a handful of other Autobots. {{storylink|Rock and Roll-Out!}}

''Hound watched Megatron and Shockwave battling in a [[Wyoming base|coal mine]] on a monitor at the Ark. When he asked if Optimus had seen it, Prime replied that it was in hand and that Bumblebee was keeping an eye on the situation.'' {{storylink|Second Generation!}}

''When [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] made their time-jump to [[1986]], Optimus Prime, Ratchet and Prowl were lost in [[Limbo]]. Suspecting Decepticon involvement, Hound and [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]] were sent to spy on their foes. Cyclonus discovered the spying Autobots and attacked, taking out Jazz and beating Hound within an inch of his life while expositing about his [[Life Spark|past self]]. Only the arrival of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] saved Hound.''

[[File:Target2006-houndandmagnus.jpg|left|upright=1.7|thumb|Well, someone had the scale guide, at least.]]
''After getting a lift back to the Ark from Magnus, Hound tried several times to get Ultra Magnus to assist the Autobots against Galvatron; he also defended their strategy of allying with Megatron. Hound was part of the raiding party which captured Scourge, though he took a critical view of [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]'s tactics, especially as the Autobots were beaten again and again.'' {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

[[File:Newyorkunderbase.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|He should really stick to fighting Ravage.]]
''In the wake of Galvatron's trip from the future, Optimus Prime faked his death to teach the Autobots how to survive without him. Hound was one of the Autobots who attended his funeral, moments before Optimus Prime reappeared.'' {{storylink|Resurrection!}}

When [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] fought on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] for leadership of the Autobots, Hound was among the dozens who disembarked from the Ark to be spectators. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

Some time after, he and the other Autobots answered a distress call from Buster Witwicky, but when they arrived to rescue him, they were attacked by both Earth-based Decepticon armies. Hound was pounced upon by [[Weirdwolf (G1)|Weirdwolf]].

The battle was discovered to be a ruse by [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] to cover his efforts to claim the powers of the [[Underbase]]. Hound was subsequently part of a team sent to confront Starscream in [[New York City]]. Unfortunately, Hound and several of his peers ended up slaughtered by Starscream on the Brooklyn Bridge. {{storylink|Dark Star}}

Later, Ratchet was seen tinkering with Hound's decapitated head. {{storylink|Back from the Dead}}

=====Earthforce=====
{{Earthforcefiction}}
When Optimus Prime visited the [[Earthbase]] he brought with him a number of deactivated Autobots from the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], including Hound and [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], to be revived in [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'s [[Body Shop]]. However while Tracks was eventually revived (despite a series of unexplained "accidents") Hound was not seen to be repaired. {{storylink|Makin' Tracks!}}

====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic====
[[File:G2houndprimalfear.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"This is my O Face!!"]]
Later revived through unknown means, Hound joined [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]]'s unit in leaving Cybertron to find new conflicts and fought against the [[Outpost B-67 exo-structuring party|technoforming fleets]] of the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]. He hesitated to gun down what appeared to be a surrendering enemy, only for [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] to do the work for him. He afterwards expressed his disgust over the bloodlust shown by his comrade. Blades, in turn, berated Hound for being a liability and revealed that the Cybertronian had a gun concealed behind his back. {{storylink|War Without End!}} Following this, he was the only Autobot not infected by the [[Shadow parasite|psychic parasites]] of the [[K'tord Nebula]], due to a blow to the head that knocked him off-line. After Prime and [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] managed to temporarily cease fighting long enough to deal with the parasites, Hound scanned the Transformers for any remnants in their systems. {{storylink|Primal Fear!}}

As one of the more level-headed Autobots, Hound did not participate in Grimlock's ill-advised strike on the Liege Centuro and his fleet. Instead, he helped Optimus free Grimlock and his strike team after they had been taken prisoners by the enemy.{{storylink|Devices and Desires! (Marvel)|Devices and Desires!}} Still, Hound knew good sense when he heard it, even from Grimlock, and when Prime thought it was a good idea for him to go meet the Decepticons alone, Hound arrived with Grimlock and a rescue battalion just in time to keep Megatron from destroying his old nemesis. {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}} The Autobots set up an Earthbase as Prime recuperated. Hound was on guard when Megatron forced his way into the camp, fresh from his own conflict with the Cybertronian Empire. {{storylink|New Dawn|Tales of Earth, Part Four}}

Later, Hound also got involved in protecting the planet [[Ethos]] from genocide. {{storylink|Escalation!}}

====''Regeneration One''====
{{NoteRG1}}
[[File:Hound natural selection.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|Just leave a voicemail. They'll get it.]]
By [[2012]], Hound was alive again. When Optimus Prime was alerted to Megatron's devastation of Earth, Hound was among the detachment of Autobots he took to confront the tyrant. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 4}} In the ensuing battle against Megatron's [[zombie]] army, Hound took down [[Blot (G1)|Blot]]. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 5}} Returning to Cybertron aboard the ''[[Valiant (G1)|Valiant]]'', Hound and the other Autobots were unwittingly targeted by surface-to-air missiles as the [[Civil Defense Hub]] had been overtaken by the Decepticon [[Clone (subgroup)|Clones]] [[Pounce]] and [[Wingspan]], under the command of [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Four}} Though the missiles were called off at the last moment, the Autobots aboard the ''Valiant'' were now alerted to the threat and prepared for immediate deployment. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Five}}

[[File:Hound death war to end all wars.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1|[[The Great Car Rally|You sure go to pieces when a missile hits you, Hound.]]]]
Though the threat of Scorponok had been neutralised, it wasn't long before Cybertron was invaded by [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s [[Blitz Engine]]s. Hound found himself fighting on the front lines along with [[Siren (G1)|Siren]], [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]], [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]], [[Mirage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Mirage]] and a host of [[generic]] Autobots, most of whom were slaughtered in the first action. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Four}} Having survived that battle, Hound formed part of [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]]'s forces in an attack on the [[Hub (G2)|Hub Network]]. Landing alongside [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]], [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]], [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]] and [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] at area 59, subdivision 17.4, branch 5: Z-9-#J-4 with a plan to take down the entire Hub in one fell swoop. However, [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] had anticipated their strategy, and the Autobots soon found themselves fighting for their lives. Swarmed by [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian]] fliers, Hound managed to get some good shots in but was hit in return, set on fire, careered off the edge of a ledge and exploded when he hit the bottom. Ouch. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 3}}

[[File:Houndfootball.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.6|What? Some say that's how Tom Brady throws his footballs.]]
{{main|Hound (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity}}
Hound was part of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s crew aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], and thus was present for many battles between the Autobots and Decepticons on Earth. Hound often accompanied the Autobots' human friend [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]]. He continued serving up through 2005, where he was stationed on Earth during the [[Battle of Autobot City]].

In a splinter timeline, he had other adventures, including exclusive membership in the [[Four-Wheel Drive Corps]]. Hound briefly gained a [[Binaltech]] body, but time-travelling put a stop to that. He served on the planet [[Athenia]] by the year 2011, and when Cybertron was destroyed that same year, he joined the [[Disaster Relief Team]] to search the remains of the planet for survivors.

Hound helped fend off a Decepticon attack. He and the other Autobots then enjoyed an unusual lull in Decepticon activities for the next several days, only to find out they had been lulled into a false sense of security; the Decepticons had stolen the Autobots’ entire supply of fuel during this quiet time. Even as Windcharger headed out to fetch more fuel, Hound informed him it was too late; his radar detected that the Decepticons were already on their way. Hound and the other Autobots nonetheless attempted to fend off the Decepticons once more. Thankfully, Optimus returned just in time with a new shipment of fuel. Re-energized, the Autobots forced the Decepticons to flee once again. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons}}

===Marvel Storybooks continuity===
Hound was among the Autobots who vowed to stop Decepticon activity on Earth. He and the other Autobots cheered so loudly at Optimus's proclamation that "Freedom was the right of all sentient beings" that they nearly caused a volcano to erupt. Later, Hound was involved in the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons that was a result of Megatron taking millions of humans hostage in a bid to get the Earth to surrender to the Decepticons. Hound participated both in the invasion of the Decepticons' base and the subsequent fight against The Devastator. The Autobots were eventually victorious, and Hound drove away with the rest of his comrades after Optimus declared the war between Autobots and Decepticons to be over. {{storylink|Battle for Earth}}

After [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] alerted the Autobots to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s latest plan, they took to the seas in a boat [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] built. When [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] pointed out a strangely-behaving iceberg to Hound, the ship was boarded by [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], who promptly fell for one of Hound's holographic tricks. The Autobots later defeated the Decepticons and confiscated the treasure they'd found. {{storylink|Search for Treasure Under the Sea}} When the Decepticons came up with a new plan to steal Earth's fuel, Hound and Bumblebee volunteered as scouts to locate their enemy. Hound found the Decepticons at [[Hoover Dam]] and after alerting the other Autobots, took part in the battle to save it. {{storylink|The Deadly Fuel Shortage}}

The Decepticons developed a [[molecular transfer device]] to steal Earth's fuel, and Hound joined in on a raid on the Decepticon stronghold, though he accidentally set off the alarm as they entered. {{storylink|Summertime Coloring Book}}

While the Autobots were relaxing in the woods one day, Hound stumbled on Megatron and his goons trashing the place. He reported to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus]], who was feeding a [[bunny rabbit|bunny]] and the Autobots set about defending the forest from the Decepticons. Hound created [[Butch Witwicky (G1)|Butch]] and [[Sparkplug Witwicky]] holograms so Megatron came up empty-handed when he made a grab for them. {{storylink|Forest Rescue Mission}}

When the Decepticons attacked [[Oil Valley]], Hound was part of a convoy of Autobots that turned up to fight them. {{storylink|Battle at Oil Valley}} [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] told Hound and some other Autobots about a stash of [[energon cube]]s hidden somewhere on Earth, and they decided to try to find it. They headed to [[Mount St. Hilary]], only to find the Decepticons were already there searching. Naturally another battle ensued, which ended when [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] ate all the energon cubes. {{storylink|The Lost Treasure of Cybertron}}

Hound was among the Autobots who volunteered to go on a mission to save [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and ended up on [[Earth]]. After [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] got the help of [[Sparkplug Witwicky]] in repairing Hound and the other Autobots, Hound gave Sparkplug and his son [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] home to [[Kimball]], only to find the Decepticons were already there raiding the city. Hound raced back to base and fetched the rest of the Autobots so they could chase the Decepticons off. {{storylink|Battle for Cybertron}} Hoping to win a year's oil, the Autobots entered the [[Big Car Rally]]. Hound drove the mountain leg, helped by [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] who repaired a bridge [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] had taken out. When he reached [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]'s stage, Hound saved his comrade by jumping in front of [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]]'s blast, at the cost of needing some repairs from [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|The Great Car Rally}} Optimus, Bumblebee and Hound lazed around under a tree outside Autobot HQ one sunny day.

When a human working at [[Prodhoe Bay]] had made a deal with the Decepticons, promising to turn a blind eye to the disappearance of several gallons of crude oil in exchange of a new jeep, Hound infiltrated the Decepticon operation and posed as the jeep to be delivered. He then signalled Autobot headquarters, who were able to send Skyfire to deal with the Decepticons. {{storylink|When Continents Collide}}

When the Autobots learned that the Decepticons were abducting humans to ransom for fuel, Hound took part in a raid on the warehouse where the hostages were being kept, using his sensors to track the approach of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s squad as they came to investigate what was up. {{storylink|Sun Raid (Listen 'n Play)}}

===Deadly Paradise===
[[File:Carob megamaze.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Sideswipe was convicted of destroying the [[Nova Suspension Bridge]] and deactivated, despite his pleas of innoncence, in order to ease the strain on human/Autobot relations. Prowl became suspicious of the Decepticons being somehow involved, and discovered evidence that lead to the remote [[Carob Island]]. Hound accompanied Prowl, Windcharger, Brawn, Bumblebee and Ratchet and headed to said island. Upon landfall, Prowl discovered a cave from where suspicious sounds were coming from. Leaving Bumblebee and Hound behind to guard the entrance, Prowl, Windcharger, Brawn and Ratchet went inside. While they were standing guard, Bumblebee and Hound were somehow captured and deactivated by Madame [[Cee]] and her army of pig-robots. They were eventually reactivated inside Madame Cee's workshop, where they learned that the Decepticons were forcing her to help build Autobot duplicates. After learning of the location of Megatron's temporary base on the island, Hound and the rest of the group entered it, finding themselves wandering in a vast, underground labyrinth. They finally came upon an open area, only to be captured in force cages by the Decepticons. Prowl managed to free the rest of the group, and Hound helped them defeat Starscream and Skywarp while Prowl dealt with Megatron. In the process of fighting the Decepticons, Hound damaged his leg. Ratchet prepared to repair it, only to find that his lubricant container was empty. The Autobots managed to escape Megatron's megamaze when they realized that Ratchet's lubricant container had been leaking all day, thus leaving them a trail that led out of Megatron's megamaze that surrounded the facility. Using his keen sensors, Hound was able to follow the trail, even in the dark. The Autobots returned to their headquarters where they were able to clear Sideswipes name, and presumably reactivated him. {{storylink|Deadly Paradise}}

After a lightning storm, Hound marveled at how a strike had changed a nearby mountain. Huffer built a lightning rod to harness the power of Earth's storms, which Hound thought he detected the Decepticons snooping around but didn't bother telling anyone. It later turned out he was right, though the Decepticons had mistaken the rod for a radio mast, and they retreated after being shocked by it. {{storylink|Autobots' Lightning Strike}} When [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] detected the Decepticons, Hound used his radar and infrared to determine that their foe was headed for the desert. They subsequently caught the Decepticons raiding an experimental solar energy plant. {{storylink|Megatron's Fight for Power}}

When Bumblebee discovered that the Decepticons were planning to build an ion drive to power their ship, Optimus Prime sent Hound to keep a listening watch for Decepticon radio signals. Hound soon recorded a lot of Decepticon radio activity, and reported back to Optimus with his findings. Thanks to the information gathered by Hound, the Autobots were able to pinpoint to location of the Decepticons’ construction site. {{storylink|Autobots Fight Back}}

Hound eavesdropped on [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]]'s attempts to scout out human life forms. After Laserbeak's transmission was cut off, Hound and Spike went to investigate what the Decepticon was doing and found a windmill. When they found the Decepticons were involved, they called in the rest of the Autobots, and unfortunately the windmill was destroyed in the ensuing battle. {{storylink|Laserbeak's Fury}} When [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] picked up radio signals from a cloaked Decepticon space station, Hound decoded the signals.

====Dinobots Strike Back====
Near the beginning of most branches in one micro-continuity-nexus, Hound reported back to the Ark that four of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] had inexplicably ditched lookout duty in [[Hidden Valley]] to go on a rampage through farm country. {{storylink|Dinobots Strike Back}}

====Battle Drive====
[[File:BattledriveAutobotsfindBuster.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Ohh...I've just had a terrible nightmare of an insane git singing at me...]]
When Optimus began to worry that Bumblebee failed to report in a timely manner while out on patrol, he dispatched Hound alongside Prowl and Swoop to check up on the little Autobot. When they met up with Bumblebee, who informed them of the Decepticon's ploy to destroy acres of farmland in order to starve humanity into submission, Hound suggested they headed back to Autobot headquarters immediately, in order to report back to Optimus. Doing so, however, led them straight into a violent storm, stranding them in the middle of nowhere and ending their adventure.

Alternatively, if the small group of Autobots decided to try and stop the Decepticon plot on their own, they were surprised to find Buster Witwicky on the road. The boy informed them that his father had discovered a fatal flaw in Decepticon circuitry, from whom Sparkplug was now on the run from. If the Autobots decided not to postpone their current mission for Sparkplug's sake, they were ambushed and destroyed by the Decepticons.

If they decided to rescue Buster's father, Hound and the Autobots drove into the mountains, they quickly discovered Sparkplug holed up in a cave surrounded by Decepticons. While Swoop flew ahead to distract the Decepticons, Hound and the rest of the earthbound Autobots met up with Sparkplug in his cave, and decided whether or not to make a stand against the Decepticons. Depending on some choices other bots made, Hound's battle to defend the cave alongside Bumblebee and Prowl was more or less difficult.

In one version of the following events, Hound, Prowl, Bumblebee and the Witwickys fell to their deaths in an attempt to find an alternate route out of the cave.

In another version of the subsequent events, Hound, Prowl and Bumblebee successfully held out against the Decepticons until Autobot reinforcements arrived to turn the tide of battle.

In yet another version of these events, Hound successfully used his hologram gun to create a diversion, and allowed Prowl to make a mad dash back to Autobot headquarters with Sparkplug.

In a completely different sequence of events, Hound was chosen along with Jazz, Prowl, Wheeljack, and Swoop by Optimus Prime to stop the Decepticon plot, when Bumblebee made it back to the Autobots' headquarters on his own. The group, joined by Bumblebee, was ambushed as soon as they arrived in the open countryside of the farmland. If [[you]] attempted to interfere, the Autobots were doomed. However, when the Autobots were left to their own devices, Hound and the rest of the group realized on their own that they had stumbled into a Decepticon trap. Whether or not the group made it back to their base depended on the decisions Optimus Prime made.{{storylink|Battle Drive}}

====Desert Flight====
Hound was part of a group of the Autobots’ best scouts, led by Optimus on a fuel-finding mission. When the convoy heard a large explosion in the distance, Optimus sent Cosmos to investigate the noise.

If Cosmos radioed his findings to Optimus immediately, Optimus's convoy moved in to investigate a nearby Decepticon base. En route, the Autobots passed near a human town, but began floating in mid-air before being able to reach it. Evidently, the phenomenon was caused by a Decepticon anti-gravity weapon.

If Optimus ordered his troops to come to the humans’ aid, they found themselves taking part in a struggle in futility, as the entire town was near-weightless, meaning they couldn't put the humans anywhere where they wouldn't float away once more. Then, the Autobots heard Decepticons approaching. Helpless in their current position, the Autobots were quickly eradicated by the Decepticons.

If Optimus ordered his troops to attack the Decepticon base, they soon reached an area free of the anti-gravity beam's influence. They were then attacked by a small fleet of Decepticons. The Decepticons were quickly forced to break off their attack and retreated. But with the battle over, the Autobots noticed a small human boy at their feet. The Autobots then headed for the Decepticon base, with their stowaway. Megatron delivered an ultimatum; if the Autobots did not surrender Optimus Prime to the Decepticons immediately, he would use his gravity beam to have the nearby humans float off into space.

If the Autobots decided to continue with their initial plan to simply attack the Decepticon base, their advance was halted by a force field. Megatron then fired his beam in all directions, causing a ripple effect that sent everything not fastened down to the Earth's surface to float helplessly out into space.

Alternatively, the Autobots could concoct a plan where Optimus would pretend to allow himself to be taken prisoner, per Buddy's suggestion. In actuality, Hound and the rest of the Autobots were hidden away inside Optimus's trailer. The Autobots then led a surprise attack on their unsuspecting foes.

In the event that Buddy tampered with the gravity gun in the ensuing battle, the Autobots would emerge victorious.

In the event that Buddy instead entered a space-time anomaly created throughout the course of the battle, the Autobots would lose their fight against the Decepticons, and Hound wound up either injured or dead.

If Optimus destroyed the duplicate Cosmos, the real one would inform the Autobots of the Decepticons’ schemes, and the convoy would roll out to take on their adversaries. They were soon met by a squad of flying Decepticons, but were at a strict disadvantage against their adversaries as their vehicle modes possessed no weapons. The Autobots nonetheless managed to fight their way to the Decepticons’ base, one way or another, and defeated the Decepticons by using their own gravity weapon against them. {{storylink|Desert Flight}}

====Decepticon Poison====
In one possible scenario, Hound was amongst the troops that Optimus brought to the Decepticons’ poison lab, in order to foil the Decepticons’ plan of poisoning the humans’ nearby water supply.

If the Autobots decided to launch a full-frontal assault, as suggested by Ironhide, Hound was one of the Autobots Optimus called forth to gun down the laboratory. The laboratory then caved in on itself, signalling an Autobot victory.

Alternatively, if Optimus decided to send his troops to the water reservoir instead of the lab, Hound was amongst the group of Autobots that found the reservoir swarmed by Decepticons upon their arrival. In one possible sequence of events, Hound was killed by Megatron in the battle that ensued. {{storylink|Decepticon Poison}}

====Autobot Alert!====
[[File:AutobotAlertMetroplex.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Hound was present at the Autobot city of Metroplex when an Autobot Alert sounded.

He and the other Autobots learned of two Decepticon plots simultaneously occurring. One of which was the theft of a coded message meant for Ultra Magnus's eyes only. If Ultra Magnus decided to prioritize theft of the coded message, Hound was part of the captive audience that listened to Kup divulge information about an ancient Autobot formula. Hound took off towards the Autobots’ desert research centre along with a number of other Autobots. Once there, they learned from Springer that the Cybertite sphere containing the formula was discovered by humans during the 16th century. If the Decepticons had decoded Springer's message, they would be searching off the coast of California, where the ship containing the sphere had sunk. If they hadn't decoded the message, the Decepticons would still be digging in the nearby crater.

If Ultra Magnus decided to assume that the Decepticons had already decrypted the message, he ordered his forces to split up to more efficiently address the situation. Hound was sent ahead to scout out the best route to the California coast. Catching up with Hound, Ultra Magnus's troops were informed by Powerglide (who had flown ahead of the land-bound group) that he had discovered the location of the sunken ship containing the cybertite sphere. Simultaneously, Blurr caught up with the group to inform them that the Decepticons were quickly approaching. The Autobots then needed to decide whether they would raise the ship themselves, or try and ambush the Decepticons after they had done so. Whether the Autobots failed or succeeded from this point forward depended on the actions of other Autobots. {{storylink|Autobot Alert!}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
After the death of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] and the fall of [[Altihex]], Hound was one of several Autobots called upon by [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] to meet with him in the ruins of [[Praxus]]. Here, Grimlock announced his plans to take command of the Autobots himself, by force if need be, should the next appointed Prime not prove to be capable of leading them in combat. The group attended the inauguration of Optronix into [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], and when an enemy attempt was made against the new Prime, Hound helped fend off the assassins. He and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] gunned down [[Backbite (G1)|Backbite]], causing him to explode spectacularly. Optimus then took care of the other assassins, winning several Autobots over... only to then announce that he planned a planet-wide evacuation. Hound was visibly shocked over this decision. {{storylink|The War Within issue 1|The War Within #1}} Though hw helped in loading up the Autobots' shuttles needed for this exodus, Hound bemoaned the oath of allegiance he had long ago taken to the Autobots all the while, and talked with Ironhide over how... wrong the evacuation felt. Grimlock chimed in as well, reiterating his doubts over Prime's ability to head the Autobots. Though Grimlock stormed off, Hound and the rest of his team remained to continue at their task. {{storylink|The War Within issue 2|The War Within #2}} Shortly after this transpired, Megatron and Optimus were fed visions of the future through the Matrix of Leadership. In one of these visions, they witnessed Hound help defend a hydro-electric dam from a Decepticon attack on Earth. {{storylink|The War Within issue 5|The War Within #5}}

During the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], when Prime disappeared and the Autobots fractioned into several smaller armies, Hound remained with the primary Autobot faction under [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s leadership. He reported the bad news that the Decepticons' new [[Trypticon (G1)|assault base]] was almost operational. {{storylink|Fragmentation (G1)|Fragmentation}} This information proved slightly out of date; Trypticon was not only already operational, but battle-ready. When the giant Decepticon proved too much for Prowl's team to handle, Hound rustled up some reinforcements and lent a hand. Everything the Autobots threw at their enemy still wasn't enough to even slow it down however, and the Autobots only managed to survive the encounter because Trypticon was called away mid-battle. {{storylink|Revelation (The Dark Ages)|Revelation}} Hound's group returned to base for repairs, only to come under attack by [[The Fallen]]. The ancient Transformer broke into the Autobots' holding cells, reappropriated [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] from one of them, and then took off. {{storylink|Confrontation (issue)|Confrontation}} It was Shockwave's Decepticons who wound up tracking down The Fallen to his base of operations, information that was conveyed back to Hound and the Autobots by [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]]. Though the opposing factions joined forces to put an end to The Fallen's machinations, Hound was not among the soldiers who arrived on the battlefield in time to see any action. {{storylink|Conflagration}}

Afterwards, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] managed to unite the Autobots once more, and under his leadership gained a significant hold over Cybertron's resources and territories. This eventually forced the [[Ultracon]]s and Shockwave's Decepticons to sign a peace treaty with the Autobots. Hound was in attendance at the ceremony, which was interrupted by a bombing engineered by Starscream and his [[Predacon (War Within)|Predacon]]s. This attack only served to strengthen the alliance between the factions, and they struck back as a united front against the aggressors. However, the dramatic return of Megatron with his cloned [[Air Warrior|Aerospace Extermination Squadron]] ended any ideas of truce whatsoever. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath}} Megatron quickly took over the planet, and enslaved the majority of Autobots. Hound was among the many unfortunates captured, and put to work in [[Internment Camp Pi]]. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}}

{{unreleased WW comic}}
Optimus returned to Cybertron, and the Autobots were freed from slavery. {{Storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.6}}

Later still (and four million years ago), Hound was part of the crew of the Ark spaceship, and crashlanded on the planet Earth after a conflict with the Decepticons. The Autobots and Decepticons on board remained in [[stasis lock]], buried at the base of [[Mount St. Hilary]] in Oregon, until the volcano exploded in [[1984]], freeing them. Hound and the other Autobots under Prime's command waged war against the Decepticons on Earth, until finally capturing them all. Roughly a decade after they arrived, the Autobots planned to return to Cybertron with their prisoners aboard the ''[[Ark II]]''. Tragically, however, sabotage led to the spaceship exploding on its maiden voyage, and all aboard were believed dead.

Not so. In fact, a human mercenary named [[Lazarus]] had recovered a great number of the Transformers that had been on board, including Hound. He went to work on these deactivated robots, installing programming directives that would turn the Cybertronians into mindless drones for his own purposes. In [[2002]], Hound was repurposed as Lazarus' transport jeep when he entertained the "freedom fighter" [[Bishop (human)|Bishop]], and stood guard against anybody following them. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 1|Prime Directive #1}} Lazarus was prepared to unleash his robot soldiers on the world, only to fail at the starting gate when Megatron reasserted control over his own programming and resumed the war. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 2|Prime Directive #2}} Hound, along with the other Autobots Lazarus had salvaged, were used to power Megatron's latest doomsday weapon: a metallic virus that would cyber-form the planet into a new Cybertron. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 3|Prime Directive #3}} The Decepticons soon after left to attack San Francisco, allowing Hound's allies to extract him from the machinery powering the virus. As he looked him over, [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] reported that Hound was alive, although he had been left in a barely functional state. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 4|Prime Directive #4}}

Not long thereafter, Hound and the Autobots were entrenched against the Decepticons in [[Alaska]] when they were confronted with an envoy from Cybertron, which had apparently ended the war sometime ago, creating a Unified Cybertronian government. [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], leader of this new regime, demanded the Autobots surrender themselves as war criminals. The Autobots escaped from his troops' clutches, and Hound was sent out as part of a scouting party to gather more information on the newcomers. While out on their patrol, they were ambushed and approached by a team headed by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. {{storylink|New World Order}} Allegedly in order to prevent the warlike Transformers of Earth from igniting old passions, Hound and many of his fellow Autobots were captured by this group. {{storylink|Brothers' Burden}} Brought back to Cybertron aboard [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], Hound and the Autobots were removed from their prison cells by the [[Triple Changer]] named [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], and brought into contact with a resistance cell led by [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]]. It seemed Shockwave actually had a hidden agenda (of course), and many Autobots had begun taking up arms again to fight back against his regime. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} Hound joined in the insurrection at [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], and the resistance ultimately pushed Shockwave out of command, retaking Cybertron for the Autobots. {{storylink|War and Peace}}

As Ultra Magnus began re-establishing Autobot control over the planet, Prowl decided that Hound and the rest of the Ark's crew would be best served by returning to Earth and establishing a permanent base of operations there. {{storylink|Original Sin}} Being the Earth-lover that he was, Hound was all for the idea. Several others objected, unwilling to leave Cybertron after returning to it for such a brief period of time, but Hound reminded them that they had responsibilities towards their human friends. {{storylink|Atonement}} As the Autobots blasted off from Cybertron, Hound looked over a display of Earth on their ship's bridge. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}}

Hound was last seen at the site of the future [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], using his holograms to help [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] visualize his plans for the city. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

Later, the Sarge and special operations officer [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] provided valuable intelligence that allowed Prime's reconstituted [[Firestormer|Firestormer Squadron]] to strike at Megatron's [[Decepticon Empire|Decepticon Star Empire]] in the latter stages of the war. During the final battle on [[Mirtonia]], the Autobots emerged victorious when the Decepticons accidentally blew up an experimental energon refinery and themselves with it, though this explosion also blew the General and Hound out of their own universe and into [[Nexus 208.0 Epsilon]].

Though the war in his own universe was over, Sergeant Hound only knew his years of military service, and when the General joined the [[Convoy (group)|Convoy]], Hound joined the [[Axiom Nexus Security Administration|Offworlder Zone Security Administration]] to serve under his commanding officer once more. {{storylink|Hound (G1)/toys#Timelines|BotCon 2015 Sgt.

[[File:Offworldercop-CMW.jpg|thumb|upright=2.0]]
Sergeant Hound was one of the policebots who pursued the criminal [[Megatron (Movie)|C-81]] and his band of miscreants after one of their botched raids. With the assistance of fellow officers [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]], [[Prowl II|Prowl]], and [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]], Sergeant Hound managed to corner the group of Cybertron's most wanted in [[Seeker-Shinai]]. During the arrest, Hound noted that a nearby Seeker recognized that C-81 was a "Megatron". Hound was skeptical of this claim, but nonetheless reported the comment to his superiors after bringing the criminals to the Offworlder maximum security prison.

Later the same day, the TransTechs ceased functioning on a planet-wide scale. Sergeant Hound and General Optimus Prime had to deal with the ensuing chaos. Thankfully, the prison was still (mostly) secured, and Sergeant Hound was content to allow the prisoners fight it out amongst themselves to tucker them out. The Sergeant and the General went off to investigate the source of the shutdown. They soon discovered the source of the problem: a nest of [[Waruder]] invaders deep within Axiom Nexus's underground network.

Arriving at the nest, Hound and Optimus found a battle already in progress between the Waruders and the group of escaped criminals led by C-81. The Cybertronians were soon joined by [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)|Lift-Ticket]] and [[Burn Out]], the latter of which impressed Hound thoroughly with her heavy armament and precision aim. Despite these reinforcements, Hound and company found themselves on the losing side of the battle. Thankfully, C-81 managed to grab a hold of the Waruders' [[Beet-Chit|leader]] and forced him into peaceful negotiations. The discussion ended with an agreement that the Waruders would be allowed safe passage to a deserted Cybertron. As the invaders migrated via C-81's interuniversal gate, the Sergeant conversed with Burn Out's pilot, [[Dia]], and explained to her the circumstances that led to the Waruders building such an evolved and dangerous hive. Sergeant Hound and General Optimus Prime then allowed C-81's band to "slip away" as a way of thanking them for their part in thwarting the Waruder invasion. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}}

A few months later, Hound was part of [[Cheetor (TransTech)|Cheetor]]'s OZSA team which tried to arrest [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)|Cy-Kill]] at the [[Axiom Nexus News]] offices.

==Notes==
[[File:Hound braver roadking armada generics.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb]]
*The Hound toy was originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "J59 Jeep", coming with a blue-and-white pilot figure and several IP-infringing decals.
*Ken Sansom's voice for Hound sounds not unlike famous actor {{w|James Stewart (actor)|Jimmy Stewart}}.
*Due to the [[character model|animation model]] of the character being based on [[package art]] as much as the actual toy, Hound's holographic rifle was misinterpreted as a small pistol thanks to the foreshortening used. The Alternators toy uses the "pistol", which led people more familiar with the original figure's gigantic rifle to quip that his new weapon was "far too small".
*Hound's head design has several elements that alternate frequently between two different interpretations among the various toys and art renditions: On the original toy, the center of his helmet sports a raised ridge that's only slightly indented compared to the sides of the helmet on the front end. The animation model, based on the toy's package art that depicts the section in question in a way that's open to misinterpretation, changes that to an ''entirely'' indented middle section of the helmet ''without'' a ridge. Since then, comic book artists have mostly followed the animation model, with the exception of [[Don Figueroa]] ([[Transformers: The War Within|''The War Within'' volume 1]] and IDW's [[The Transformers (IDW)|ongoing title]], the latter drawn in his new "live action movie"-inspired style) and [[Andrew Wildman]] ([[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|''The War Within'' volume 2]]). The toys (''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], and ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' figures) have mostly remained faithful to the original toy, with the exception of the ''Universe'' Deluxe Class toy. In addition, the usually raised "earmuff" sections on the sides of the helmet, which were ''indented'' on the original toy, alternate heavily between "round" and "squared", sometimes even between different comics drawn by the same artist (notably [[E. J. Su]] and [[Guido Guidi]]).
*Like those of many Generation 1 characters, Hound's animation model has appeared as an unnamed cameo in the [[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|''Armada'' cartoon]]. He is visible both reacting to the [[Mini-Con]] beacon alongside [[Braver]] and [[Road King]] in "[[First Encounter]]" (seen at right), and in a flashback in "[[Prehistory]]".

:''Prowl is an [[Autobot]] and later [[Maximal]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Prowlg1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Prick.]]
'''Prowl''' is the Autobot military strategist. As such, [[Prime (rank)|Autobot Commander]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] keeps Prowl near at hand for his indispensable expertise. Prowl is quiet, competent, loyal, and possessed of almost endless patience.

Prowl's dedication to logic and reason make him an excellent strategist, but not much of a socialite. He really doesn't tend to get along well with his fellow Autobots, many of whom find his strict adherence to military protocol stifling, and his uptight personality sure doesn't help matters. He does not react well to the unexpected, to the point that it can literally scramble his cerebral circuits. The [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] commander [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], who is disorder made manifest, ''especially'' honks Prowl off, and Grimlock feels pretty much the same way in return, only with more swear words. He's very fond of his [[acid pellet]]s, though.

In some universes, he can [[combiner|combine]] with the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], or combine with other Autobots into [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]] or [[Betatron]]. In other timelines, at the twilight of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], he joined forces with fellow veterans [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] to form [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]], instrumental to the final Autobot victory.

{{main|Prowl (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity}}
Part of the crew of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Prowl served as one of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s top advisers during the early years of the Autobot-Decepticon conflict on Earth. In 2005, he met his end at the hands of the Decepticons shortly before the [[Battle of Autobot City]]. His body was interred with honor within the [[Autobot Mausoleum]], but was soon desecrated and destroyed.

In a splinter timeline, death would not be the end for Prowl and things would proceed to get very, ''very'' confusing. His mind would be merged with that of [[Chip Chase]], creating the new entity [[Prowl II]], until time travel would undo that, until it didn't, and then Prowl came back to life for real. In 2011, he returned to battle on Earth, aiding Ultra Magnus at Autobot City. Prowl appeared again in 2021 with a new [[combiner]] body and became a limb for [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]].

[[File:DeadlyParadise-ProwlvisitsCeesworkshop.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Prowl didn't think this through, and is now bound to a life of maid service.]]
When Sideswipe was deactivated after being accused and convicted of destroying the [[Nova Suspension Bridge]], straining human/Autobot relations in the process, Prowl became suspicious. He approached Optimus, and explained that it made little sense for Sideswipe to have attacked the bridge in broad daylight before several eye-witnesses. Agreeing that this had the Decepticons' stink all over it, Optimus allowed Prowl to investigate [[Carob Island]], the one place on Earth where a rare alloy discovered at the scene of the crime could be found. Prowl took with him Bumblebee, Hound, Ratchet, Windcharger, and Brawn and traveled to the remote Pacific island. After searching through the dense jungle on the island, Prowl heard some sort of activity originating from a cave. He, Brawn, Ratchet, and Windcharger headed inside the cave while Bumblebee and Hound stood guard. Inside the cave, the four Autobots found [[Decepticon gopher]] machines drilling and extracting the same ore they had found at the crime scene. The Autobots battled the Decepticon machines, and exited the cave only to discover that Bumblebee and Hound had gone missing. Prowl's squad then met with Madame [[Cee]] and her army of robotic pigs. When Prowl questioned her as to what happened to his companions, Madame Cee escorted the Autobots to her home, all the while claiming the Autobots were in good hands. At Cee's house, Prowl was taken on a tour while Cee explained that she remodeled machines and had recently acquired a new beneficiary. Upon seeing a scale-drawing of Optimus Prime in her workshop, Prowl demanded an explanation, only to be attacked by Ravage. [[File:DeadlyParadise-RavageattacksProwl.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.3|Prowl gets greeted by his loving cat and...tries to shoot it. ''What a prick''.]] Ravage revealed that Madame Cee was indeed under the employ of the Decepticons. Prowl managed to lock Ravage in a room, then forced Madame Cee to take him to Hound and Bumblebee. Prowl found them deactivated, but not tampered with. Madame Cee explained that Megatron was forcing her to help him build duplicate Autobots when all she wanted to do was build more pig-robots. Prowl learned from her the location of the Decepticon base, reactivated his friends, and took his whole squadron to confront the Decepticons.

[[File:DeadlyParadise-ProwlClone.jpg|thumb|upright=1.7|left|Megatron shows Prowl his life-size replica that spouts various insults.]]
Finding Megatron's temporary headquarters on the island, Prowl and the others soon found themselves travelling deeper and deeper inside an enormous underground maze. They finally happened upon an open area, only to be captured by the Decepticons with force cages. Prowl appealed to Megatron's ego to have the Decepticon let him out of his cage and have a look at what Megatron's plan was. Megatron presented Prowl with a duplicate of himself, and explained that a duplicate Optimus Prime was nearing completion as well. Now knowing the full extent of the Decepticons' ploy, Prowl was led back to his cage by two Decepticon guards, only for him to notice that Rumble was in charge of the force cages. Prowl began taunting Rumble on his diminutive size, something that both of his escorts joined in on, prompting Rumble to create an earthquake in rebuttal. Taking advantage of his escorts being thrown off-balance, Prowl then destroyed the controls for the force cages and defeated Rumble. While his newly freed comrades dealt with the Decepticons that rushed to the scene, Prowl backtracked to Megatron's laboratory. There, he sneaked up on Megatron and tricked him into shooting the duplicate Prowl before managing a couple of hits on the Decepticon leader. Megatron escaped through a secret passage, taunting Prowl that he and his friends would never escape the [[megamaze]] that surrounded the facility. The situation seemed dire, until Prowl discovered that Ratchet's lubricant holder had become damaged earlier in the day during their fight with the Decepticons' drilling machines. As it had been leaking all day, Prowl and his squad were able to follow the trail it left behind out of the megamaze. Prowl then returned to Autobot headquarters with enough proof to clear Sideswipe's name, who was presumably re-activated afterwards. {{storylink|Deadly Paradise}}

===Sticker Adventures books===
In the aftermath of a battle with the Decepticons, the Autobots found that Decepticon activities had seemingly stopped altogether. Taking advantage of the situation, Optimus went on a trip to fetch fuel and parts for the Autobots’ ship. Prowl saw his leader off, and reminded him to check the air pressure in his tires before leaving. After Optimus had left, the Autobots discovered to their horror that the Decepticons had stolen their entire fuel supply. Hound and the other Autobots nonetheless attempted to fend off the Decepticons when they attacked once more. Thankfully, Optimus returned just in time with a new shipment of fuel. Re-energized, the Autobots forced the Decepticons to flee once again. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons}}

As they were repairing a ship, Optimus Prime asked Prowl if he was sure they would be able to reach Cybertron with it. Prowl admitted that he could only be so certain about the fact, as Earth was not on any Cybertronian map. Then, the Decepticons launched an attack on the Autobots’ construction site. Optimus was rendered unconscious during the course of the fight, but the Autobots nonetheless managed to fend off the Decepticons. Upon Prime's reawakening, Prowl was standing at his side in the Autobots’ medi-bay. He expressed relief over Optimus’s safe recovery. {{storylink|Return to Cybertron}}

===Marvel Storybooks continuity===
Prowl was among the crew of the Ark who crashed on Earth and was rebuilt as a terrestrial vehicle. When the Autobots invaded the Decepticon fortress, it was Prowl who studied Megatron's war room map and deduced his plot for Global buildings. All that logic apparently caused him to channel Red Alert for a moment, as he momentarily seized up and started blaring an alarm. {{storylink|Battle for Earth}}

===Marvel coloring books===
Prowl was one of the many Autobots who prevented the Decepticons from harming Sparkplug and Buster Witwicky. Though he was badly damaged in the fight, Prowl was fixed right up by Sparkplug. He then helped the Autobots protect the Hoover Dam. {{storylink|The Deadly Fuel Shortage}}

Prowl was part of the Autobot convoy that followed Optimus Prime into battle when it was discovered that the Decepticons were stealing fuel from all around the globe through the use of a [[molecular transfer device]]. When Bumblebee won the day by turning the Decepticons' machine against them, Prowl and Jazz hoisted the little Autobot on their shoulders and cheered for him. {{storylink|Summertime Coloring Book}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|A Message From Outer Space}} {{storylink|Bumblebee's Dangerous Mission}} {{storylink|The Big Book of Coloring Fun}}}}

Prowl was part of a small strike team of Autobots assembled by Ultra Magnus to help the Dinobots, who were currently engaged in battle against the Decepticons, just outside of Autobot City. After they defeated the Decepticons, Prowl and the others were cheered on by the nearby oil rig workers as they drove back to Autobot City. {{storylink|Battle at Oil Valley}}

===Big Looker storybooks continuity===
When the Cybertronian civil war had yet to leave the planet, Optimus asked his Autobots to join him in leaving their home world behind and travel out into space. When Bumblebee volunteered to join Optimus, Prowl and the rest of the Autobots jumped in as well. After crash-landing on Earth and being offline for about 65 millions years, Prowl and the rest of the Autobots met Sparkplug and his son Spike. With the Decepticons still not in the know of what forms the Autobots had taken, Prowl was one of the troops that Optimus led into the desert in order to ambush their enemies. Though they successfully took by surprise a squadron of Decepticons, the Autobots had not anticipated a second group flying in from the opposite direction. Thanks to a warning from Spike and Sparkplug, the Autobots managed to fend off the Decepticons, and came to accept Earth as their new home. {{storylink|Battle for Cybertron}}

Thanks to [[Shooting Star]], Optimus discovered that Blitzwing was planning to steal oil from a nearby oil truck. Optimus took Prowl and a team of Autobots to stop the theft. Upon arriving on-scene and seeing the Decepticons sneaking up on the oil truck’s operators, Prime consulted Prowl for his strategic expertise. Thanks to Swoop’s help, the Autobots managed to thwart the Decepticons’ heist. {{storylink|Decepticon Hijack}}

Prowl was present when [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]] came rushing back to base after being attacked by the mind-controlled [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]]. He and [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] later helped free Grapple from Bombshell's insidious cerebro-shell. {{storylink|Insecticon Attack!}}

===Kid Stuff Talking Story Books===
{{voiceactor|? (English)}}
Prowl is Optimus Prime's over-acting right-hand man.

Prowl helped Optimus Prime investigate a series of human disappearances in the [[Kalahari Desert]]. Skyfire discovered one of the humans lying on the desert floor unconscious, and radioed Autobot headquarters with his findings. Prowl deployed the Autobots' sensor drone to patch into the human's residual brain wave patterns to make sense of what was going on. He and Optimus learned that the humans were being kept as slaves to gather enormous amounts of coal, but beyond that, the Autobots were still in the dark as to what the Decepticons were planning. Until, that is, Bumblebee reported back to them and filled them in; the Decepticons were planning to strap the giant diamond lens they created out of the charcoal to focus sunbeams down on the Earth’s surface. The lens would beam down destruction from a Decepticon satellite in Earth’s orbit. With its power, they would melt the [[Rocky Mountains|Rockies]], and use the oil that would gush forth to power themselves, kill the Autobots and conquer the galaxy. When Skyfire failed in preventing the satellite from launching, Optimus and Prowl could do nothing but watch on in horror as the Decepticons’ plan began to unfold.

Prowl overlooked Ratchet attaching external fuel tanks onto Skyfire to allow the Autobot superjet to reach the Decepticon satellite in orbit. {{storylink|Satellite of Doom}}

When the [[Prodhoe Bay]] oil company sent out an emergency signal, Prowl caught wind of it on his monitoring station. Though at first, he could not pinpoint the exact location from where the Decepticons were syphoning oil from the company, his search area was narrowed by a signal sound out by Hound. The Autobots sent out Skyfire, who managed to bring down the Decepticons’ transport, but Megatron and Soundwave escaped into the frozen wastelands of the north. Prowl continued to monitor the area for the next several days, hoping to find the Decepticons once more. But the Decepticons managed to once more empty underground oil reservoirs, which caused a chain of events threatening the future of the Earth and human civilization. In order to combat this, Prowl and Optimus concocted a plan together to return the crude oil to its proper resting place, and fill the Decepticons’ transport’s tanks with razon gas. {{storylink|When Continents Collide}}

{{bigquote|OUR MISSILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!}}

Prowl and Optimus were travelled to the island of [[Sumatra]], where they discovered that hundreds of square miles of lush jungle had been eradicated. The Decepticons were once again causing death and destruction in their quest for more oil. Back at Autobot headquarters, Prowl resumed his post and scanned for Decepticon activity. When the computer did finally detect the Decepticons on the move, Prowl deployed Bumblebee to their coordinates to deal with their destruction of the south american jungles. {{storylink|Storms of Destruction}}

Prowl monitored the Dinobots as they made their way from their own recovery base to the Autobots' headquarters. After the Dinobots were ambushed by the Decepticons and Slag was badly damaged, Prowl relayed Optimus’s command that they were to return to their own base. He later informed Optimus that the Decepticons had attempted to discover the location of the Dinobots’ base, but that Ratchet had managed to plant a [[Memory Scrambler Mine]] on their [[Thermo-borer]], clearing the machine’s memory banks. Nonetheless, the Decepticons managed to find their way back to the Dinobots’ base, this time piloting the [[Crusher (G1)|Crusher]]. After updating Optimus Prime on the situation, Prowl dispatched the Autobots’ superjets to deal with the Decepticons. {{storylink|Jaws of Terror}}

Prowl expressed his puzzlement over a series of hit-and-run Decepticon attacks in the skies over the Pacific. He relayed Optimus’s orders that Skyfire should not pursue the enemy, as it was deemed a waste of fuel. Later, he reported to Optimus that Bumblebee, who had been sent out on a scouting mission in the southwestern pacific, was days overdue for checking in. Prowl and Optimus decided to head to the island of [[Buru]] personally to investigate what was going on. Upon arrival, Prowl immediately sensed the Decepticons’ presence on the island. Prowl and Optimus soon found themselves losing a battle to Insecticon troops. Thankfully, Optimus had had the forethought to have the Dinobots meet them on the island. The Dinobots quickly turned the tide of the battle, freeing Prowl and Optimus to search for Megatron. Before they found him, however, Megatron had already escaped off the island. {{storylink|Slaves of the Insecticons}}

Later, Prowl monitored a Decepticon attack on an oil storage dump in the Arabian peninsula. As he coordinated the Autobot troops to rescue the humans at that location, he also kept tabs on a series of attacks on oil tankers off the coast of Africa. Despite the Decepticons' jamming devices, he had been able to listen in on Megatron and Soundwave's conversation as they drained all super tankers that came into their area of their precious cargo. Prowl devised a plan to stop Megatron's latest ploy; the Autobots would contaminate the crude being transported by the Colossus super tanker, scheduled to make a delivery to the area next. The powerful corrosive within the oil would destroy the Decepticons' submersible from within, allowing the Autobots to sweep in and take out Megatron. Though the plan went as planned for the most part, Megatron and Soundwave managed to escape. Afterwards, per Optimus's orders, he erased the memories of all humans who had witnessed the battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons. {{storylink|Attack of the Decepticons}}

===The Battle for Planet Earth===
{{voiceactor|[[Peter Marinker]] (English)}}
As [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] spied on the Decepticon base, he wished [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] or Prowl were with him. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (G1)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}} When some the Decepticons left the base to head for [[Stanley Lake]], Optimus consulted Prowl who suggested following them. After the Autobots reached the lake, Optimus asked Prowl for a rundown of the situation, and Prowl came up with the idea of drawing the Decepticons out of the control room to avoid possible human casualties. {{storylink|Menace at the Dam}} Prowl didn't trust Starscream when the Decepticon wanted to defect, and pointed out to the others that Starscream's hatred of the Autobots was well known. He suspected Starscream was there to spy on them, and he and Optimus indeed subsequently tricked Starscream into sending the rest of the Decepticons on a wild goose chase. {{storylink|Espionage!!!!!}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
The Autobots subsequently returned to Cybertron aboard a refueled and repaired ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' with the defeated Decepticons, taking the Decepticons on Cybertron unawares and quickly securing control of Cybertron. Peace reigned for a time until a series of natural disasters began, the source of which was determined to be the planet [[Moebius]] in [[Gargent 087.0 Kappa|a parallel universe]], designated Strata 22. The Autobots assembled a team to travel to this alternate universe and stop the threat at its source. Optimus Prime, [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]], [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], Prowl, and [[Bluestreak (G1)|Silverstreak]] composed the team; they dubbed themselves [[Spy Changer]]s because they aimed to achieve their goal with stealth and diplomacy. The team modified their bodies to match the 22nd Strata's native cyborgs using data acquired from the [[Sky Spy]] and crossed over but were soon attacked by the local [[Guardian (GoBots)|Guardians]], who mistakenly presumed them to be [[Renegade|Renegades]]. The Spy Changers were then rescued by the real Renegades, who presumed them to be potential allies and took them back to their flagship, ''[[Rogue Star]]''. Renegade leader [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)|Cy-Kill]] attempted to court the Spy Changers as allies, but Optimus saw through Cy-Kill's deception. Optimus sent Jazz to discover the truth of the situation, and the Renegade alliance with [[Gog]] of Moebius came to light. Optimus then sent Prowl to make contact with Guardian leader [[Leader-1 (GoBots)|Leader-1]], and a secret Autobot-Guardian alliance was formed. Wheeljack then discovered the cause of Cybertron's troubles: Renegade bases on Moebius were draining the planet's energy. The planet's geometry had turned it into a crude [[Dimensional Interfacer]], and Moebius was tapping into Cybertron to sustain itself. Hoist was able to end the crisis by triggering the bases' remote detonation sequence. Cy-Kill was furious, but in the ensuing battle, the Autobot-Guardian alliance triumphed over the Renegades. Optimus Prime and Leader-1 shook hands, and the Spy Changers returned to their home reality, secure in the knowledge that they had allies in places as distant as alternate realities. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime/Facebook src#September 30, 2015|Ask Vector Prime, 30/09/2015}}

===Highway Clash===
{{notemultipath}}
Prowl and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus]] secretly guarded a shipment of microchips that could be used to imbue sentience onto robots. Posing as the police escort guiding the precious cargo accross the Yorkshire Dales, he was attacked by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] who sought the microchips to create an army of Decepticons. With [[you]]r help, Prowl may or may not have been successful in keeping the microchips out of the Decepticons' hands. {{storylink|Highway Clash}}

===''Find Your Fate Junior''===
{{notemultipath}}

====Dinobots Strike Back====
Prowl was present in the Ark's war room as [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] reported that [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] was controlling the other [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] with [[cerebro-shell]]s, and advised that an immediate attack might be necessary to prevent human casualties. If Optimus Prime agreed, the ensuing battle dislodged all four cerebro-shells through a little blunt trauma.

If Optimus decided instead to consult the Ark's computer, producing a plan to have [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] remove the shells with his magnetic field, Prowl warned everyone that time was of the essence, with the Dinobots approaching [[Bandit's Bluff]], near a human city. This gave [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] an alternative idea to lure them over the edge of the bluff and into the ocean with a hologram of Optimus Prime, which would work despite Prowl's doubts. If Optimus chose to stick with the computer's plan, Prowl was part of the convoy accompanying Windcharger to Bandit's Bluff. Windcharger was, however, unsure how far away to cast his magnetic field from. If he stood 40 feet away, the Dinobots' repetitive motions told Prowl that the force was too strong, but his warning came too late for Windcharger to stop. Once the four Dinobots were torn to bits, Prowl somberly collected the cerebro-shells for study.

If Windcharger stood further back and safely removed the shells, one path led to a [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] returning from scouting the following day with news of [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee's]] disappearance inside [[Mount Lomas]], where a secret Decepticon base was producing enough superfuel to make their enemies unstoppable. Though Windcharger advocated an immediate assault, Prowl thought a mountain fortress would be too hard to storm. He suggested having the Dinobots infiltrate the base by pretending the cerebro-shells were still controlling them, then backstabbing the Decepticons just before the other Autobots attacked. Either plan would produce a victory, but [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]] fared better if [[you]] chose Prowl's. {{storylink|Dinobots Strike Back}}

====Battle Drive====
[[File:BattledriveProwlandMegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|He likes pastry! (Who doesn't?)]]
When Optimus began to worry that Bumblebee failed to report in a timely manner after being sent out on patrol, he dispatched Prowl alongside Hound and Swoop to check up on the little Autobot. When they met up with Bumblebee, who informed them of the Decepticon's ploy to destroy acres of farmland in order to starve humanity into submission, Prowl suggested they attempt to take on the Decepticons on their own, while Hound advocated heading back to base. Doing the later led them straight into a violent storm, stranding them in the middle of nowhere and ending their adventure.

Alternatively, if the small group of Autobots decided to try and stop the Decepticon plot on their own, they were surprised to find Buster Witwicky on the road. The boy informed them that his father had discovered a fatal flaw in Decepticon circuitry, from whom Sparkplug was now on the run from. If the Autobots decided not to postpone their current mission for Sparkplug's sake, they were ambushed and destroyed by the Decepticons.

If they decided to rescue Buster's father, Prowl and the Autobots drove into the mountains, where they quickly discovered Sparkplug holed up in a cave surrounded by Decepticons. While Swoop flew ahead to distract the Decepticons, Prowl and the rest of the earthbound Autobots met up with Sparkplug in his cave, and decided whether or not to make a stand against the Decepticons. Depending on the choices he and other bots made, Prowl's battle to defend the cave alongside Bumblebee and Hound was more or less difficult.

In one version of the following events, Hound, Prowl, Bumblebee and the Witwickys fell to their deaths in an attempt to find an alternate route out of the cave.

In another version of the subsequent events, Prowl, Hound and Bumblebee successfully held out against the Decepticons until Autobots reinforcements arrived to turn the tide of battle.

In yet another version of the events, Prowl made a mad dash back to Autobot headquarters with Sparkplug. Although he managed to evade his pursuers by zig-zagging between trees, the adventure came to an abrupt halt when it all turned out to be one of [[you]]r dreams.

In a completely different sequence of events, Prowl was chosen along with Jazz, Hound, Wheeljack, and Swoop by Optimus Prime to stop the Decepticon plot, when Bumblebee made it back to the Autobots' headquarters on his own. The group, joined by Bumblebee, were ambushed as soon as they arrived in the open countryside of the farmland. If [[you]] attempted to interfere, the Autobots were doomed. However, when the Autobots were left to their own devices, Prowl and the rest of the group realized on their own that they had stumbled into a Decepticon trap. Whether or not the group made it back to their base depended on the decisions Optimus Prime made.{{storylink|Battle Drive}}
{{-}}

====Decepticon Poison====
After the Autobots’ latest batch of fuel had been poisoned by Ramjet, leaving a number of Autobots unable to assume their robot forms, Prowl suggested the Autobots send out a task force of healthy Autobots to uncover the Decepticons’ plot. Though Perceptor suggested they instead stay on the defensive while he worked out an antidote, Prowl dismissed this plan, pointing out that there was no guarantee that Perceptor would conjure up an antidote before the Decepticons decided to strike.

If Optimus decided to go with Perceptor’s plan, and the antidote cured the Autobots, Perceptor’s concoction would leave them with a battle fever. Though the recently cured Autobots all rallied for a direct attack against the Decepticons, the more level-head Prowl suggested a more conniving approach, where the Autobots would ambush their assailants.

If Optimus allowed the cured Autobots to charge headlong into battle, Prowl was ordered to stay behind as back-up, as he was still running low on fuel. Prowl made his displeasure about the situation known. When the first charge of Autobots were quickly overpowered by the arrival of Megatron, Prowl sprung into battle, following Optimus’s lead. The Autobots were still running low on fuel however, and though they were able to retrieve their injured throughout the ensuing battle, they were quickly forced to retreat. Thankfully, the Autobots had cause enough damage to the Decepticon ranks that the evil robots retreated as well, granting the Autobots a reprieve.

If Optimus instead followed Prowl’s plan, the Autobots were instructed to transform into vehicle mode and play dead. The Decepticons, believing the Autobots’ ruse, disarmed themselves in order to carry out the Autobots’ “carcasses.” Now with the element of surprise against unarmed opponent, the Autobots Transformed and were able to easily defeat the evil robots.

In another possible turn of events, Perceptor gave out too much of his antidote to each Autobot. The Autobots who received the antidote soon found themselves falling apart, leaving Prowl and the rest outmatched against the greater number of Decepticons.

In a completely different scenario, Optimus agreed to Prowl’s plan to go on the offensive and try and discover the full extent of the Decepticons’ plans. Optimus nominated Prowl, Bumblebee and Mirage to go along with him on the mission. The group refuelled with the gas that Sparkplug brought back from the Autobots’ secret storage area, and took off. The group soon happened upon the Decepticons’ lab in the middle of a barren, polluted wasteland.

If all four Autobots ventured together into the Decepticons’ lab, they first encountered Laserbeak, only to quickly dispatch him. Venturing further into the lab, the group soon spotted the antidote they were after, and sent Mirage to fetch it. Mirage returned with the beaker and news; he had heard Ramjet and Starscream talking about using a new poison to turn humans into mindless slaves. Prowl opted to try and take down the Decepticons immediately in light of this turn of events.

If Optimus ordered his squad to instead return to Autobot headquarters immediately, his squad returned to find their comrades nearly dead from the poison. But with Ratchet’s help, the antidote was quickly distributed, and the Autobots sprung back to life.

The Autobots decide to stop the Decepticons from poisoning the humans next.

If Optimus led his troops back to the Decepticons’ poison lab, Prowl was amongst the Autobot convoy that drove into action. Happening upon the Decepticons hauling barrels of poison out of their lab, the Autobots devised a couple of plans to stop them.

If the Autobots went along with a plan thought up by Windcharger, Windcharger would use his magnetic abilities to levitate the barrels of poison over the Decepticons. Prowl then quickly shot the barrels full of holes, allowing the barrels’ contents from flowing down onto the evil robots. With Jazz igniting the barrels’ content and Warpath finishing the Decepticons’ lab off, the Autobots drove back to base victoriously that day.

Alternatively, if Optimus decided to end his troops to the water reservoir instead of the lab, Prowl was amongst the group of Autobots that found the reservoir swarmed by Decepticons upon their arrival.

If however Optimus ordered his troops to deal with the Decepticons before returning to base with the antidote, Prowl suggested that he use his incendiary missiles to destroy the poison first, before dealing with Ramjet and Starscream.

If the Autobots went along with Prowl’s strategy, the resulting heat from the explosion caused the Autobots’ circuits to overheat, rendering them unconscious. Upon reawakening, the Autobots found themselves captives of Megatron, who informed them that their fellow Autobots would soon perish, and that the humans would be conquered by the Decepticons shortly after. Ashamed of his failure, Prowl covered his face in shame.

If Optimus instead decided to deal with Ramjet and Starscream first, his troop easily overpowered the pair, Prowl and Mirage working together to wrestle down Starscream. After having destroyed the lab, the Autobots returned to their headquarters with the antidote.

If instead of all heading into the lab together, the Autobots had sent in Bumblebee alone, and Bumblebee subsequently managed to escape with the antidote to the Decepticons’ poison, the Autobots escaped from the [[Decepticon Poison Lab|Valley of Poison]] and returned to Autobot headquarters. Once the other Autobots were cured, they all drank a toast to Bumblebee, to celebrate his part in the mission. {{storylink|Decepticon Poison}}

====Autobot Alert!====
Prowl was in Metroplex city when an Autobot Alert sounded.

In one possible scenario, Jazz was selected alongside Mirage, Swoop, Powerglide and Jazz, to join Ultra Magnus on an orbital mission to both rescue Cosmos and halt a Decepticon plot to take over Earth’s broadcast satellites. After donning special space gear for solar protection, the team took off and headed towards Cosmos’s last coordinates. Though they soon found Cosmos, so did they spot Galvatron’s ship, Cyclonus, looming nearby. After they had retrieved Cosmos, Ultra Magnus called out to his troops to return to the shuttle’s control deck. Ultra Magnus ordered his troops to train all of their weapons on Cyclonus for a full-frontal assault.

If the Autobots went ahead with Ultra Magnus’s plan, Prowl was ordered to program the engines for fast-forward thrust. He and the rest of the Autobots were horrorstruck when Galvatron himself emerged from Cyclonus, followed by an army of multiwing jet fighters. Prowl and the others were left drifting helplessly into space as the Decepticons tore their shuttle apart.

If instead Powerglide and Swoop went about their own way of defeating the Decepticons, Cyclonus’s transmission device was successfully destroyed and the entire crew of the Autobot shuttle presumably returned to base safely. {{storylink|Autobot Alert!}}

====The Invisibility Factor====
[[File:InvisibilityFactorGalvatronShockwaveandScavenger.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"You think Prowl's still mad at me for [[The Transformers: The Movie|shooting him]]?"]]
In one possible scenario, the Autobots were informed by Kup and Hot Rod that the Decepticons had taken possession of an [[Invisibility Device]], created by the human [[Sarah Sanders]], and taken it into space to study it. Ultra Magnus put together a team of Autobots and took off in one of their shuttles to pursue them. Prowl was amongst the Autobots chosen. Once in space, however, the Autobots had difficulty pinpointing the Decepticons’ location. The ship’s crew had to decided where to look next for the Decepticons. Prowl suggested looking in the [[Asteroid belt|Asteroid Belt]] beyond [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], noting it would be a great place to hide.

If the Autobots decided to investigate the dark side of the moon, they found themselves unable to see anything on the satellite’s shadowy surface. Prowl waited silently as Ultra Magnus, Jazz and Hot Rod discussed possible plans of action.

If Ultra Magnus decided to go through with Hot Rod’s plan of shooting down to trick the Decepticons into revealing themselves, the Autobots succeeded only in making themselves an easy target for their enemies. The Decepticons blasted their shuttle to bits. Prowl and his friends were reduced to space junk.

If Ultra Magnus listened to Jazz’s plan, he ordered his Autobots to remain silent, and to shut off all of the shuttle’s lights and mechanisms. Launching a probe as a decoy, the Autobots successfully tricked the Decepticons into revealing their position when they mistook the probe as their shuttle and opened fire upon it. Firing back, the Autobots began crippling the Decepticons’ ship, until a lucky shot rocked their own shuttle. Though the Decepticons attempted to escape while the Autobots were off-balance, the Autobots were able to deliver the finishing blow, ending the Decepticons’ menace as the evil robots' ship exploded.

In an alternate scenario wherein the Autobots listened to Prowl’s suggested and searched the Asteroid Belt beyond Mars, they soon found themselves struggling to get through the maze of floating rocks.

If the Autobots pushed on their search in the Asteroid Belt, they soon found themselves on a collision course with two enormous asteroids. If they only managed to blast one of asteroids, the Autobots were forced to retreat back to Earth after their shuttle took substantial damage. If the Autobots managed to blast neither of the Asteroids, they were all crushed between the giant pieces of space debris.

If they managed to blast away both asteroids, they reached a vast, empty expanse of space within the asteroid belt. Prowl was happy to report that they had only sustained minor damages to their shuttle while navigating through the Asteroid belt. There were bad news to follow shortly, however, as blasts coming out of seemingly nowhere revealed that the Decepticons had figured out the workings of the Invisibility Device, and were now attacking the Autobots. The Autobots considered retreating, but Kup reminded them that Sarah Sanders had not perfected her device yet, and the Decepticons’ invisibility may yet wear off.

If the Autobots attempted to flee from the Decepticons’ attack, they found themselves at too much of a disadvantage to successfully make it out of the Asteroid Belt. They were blown into space junk before they could reach Earth.

If the Autobots held their ground, they were instructed by Ultra Magnus not to open fire upon the Decepticons until ordered to do so. Though things were tense as the Autobots were hit over and over again by their invisible opponents, soon the enemy ship came into view, just as Kup had predicted. The Autobots opened fire on the flimsier vessel, blowing it and the Decepticons within to smithereens.

If the Autobots did retreat out of the Asteroid Belt, they convinced one another that the Decepticons most likely perished within it. Then, a few days later, when the invisible Decepticons attacked Metroplex city, Prowl and the rest of the Autobots were reduced to scrap metal, unable to fight the unseen enemy.

In a completely different scenario, wherein Hot Rod and Kup returned to Autobot headquarters for reinforcements after seeing the spaceship land, the two of them reported to Ultra Magnus directly, who agreed the situation necessitated further investigation. Hot Rod and Kup returned to the ship’s landing site accompanied by Jazz, Sunstreaker, Prowl and Springer. When they arrived, the ship in question was nowhere to be found, prompting Jazz and Springer to second-guess the veracity of Hot Rod and Kup’s story.

If Jazz and Springer convinced Hot Rod and Kup to return to Metroplex city to make sure they didn’t have a few wires loose, Ratchet found nothing wrong with the pair, but the incident was forgotten nonetheless. That is, until Galvatron returned with a fleet of identical ships, and destroyed both Metroplex and all of its inhabitants.

If Hot Rod and Kup convinced the other Autobots to keep on looking, Hot Rod eventually found trail marks, indicating that a heavy object the size of their spacecraft had indeed landed and had been dragged away. Prowl and the others followed the trail to a more rocky terrain, where tracking the ship would become more difficult. The trail seemingly lost, the Autobots then heard someone incoming, and took cover. From their hiding places, they saw the Decepticons Scavenger, a human captive within the grasp of his steam-shovel.

If the Autobots decided to rescue Sarah immediately, Scavenger dropped the woman, and cried for help while attempting to flee.

If the Autobots pursued Scavenger, they found him rejoining a whole squadron of Decepticons. Fighting the Decepticons immediately would cost them their lives. Otherwise, if the Autobots decided on a retreat when faced by the whole squadron of Decepticons, they managed to do so by blinding their enemies by their high beams and then splitting off into different direction. They later regrouped and found Sarah Sanders wandering in the desert.

If the Autobots asked Sarah to build them their own Invisibility Device, Sarah refused, stating she would not build weapons for war. Running away from the group Sarah was almost killed when Dirge passed overhead and dropped a missile on her position. After rescuing her from the Decepticon attack, Prowl and the others brought Sarah to safety within Metroplex. Grateful for the rescue, Sarah showed the Autobots how to create an [[Invisibility Scrambler]] to counteract the Decepticons’ Invisibility Device. Anticipating the Decepticons’ attack, the Autobots successfully defeated the evil robots when they came.

If instead of asking Sarah to build them an Invisibility Device, Prowl and the others attempted once more to retrieve her ship, the whole group snuck over to where the Decepticons were stationed. Once there, Hot Rod and Prowl argued over which plan of action would be the smartest to undertake next.

If the Autobots agreed with Hot Rod to try and take the Decepticons by surprise with a head-on attack, the Autobots manage to stun the Decepticons by dazzling them with their headlights. Prowl provided Hot Rod some cover fire while the young Autobot raced down and snatched the Invisibility Device from the Decepticons. The Autobots then successfully peeled back, congratulating one another on a job well done.

If the Autobots agreed with Prowl to take a moment to come up with a more detailed plan, Prowl instructed Hot Rod to taunt the Decepticons into following him. The plan worked, and the bulk of the Decepticons took off after the young Autobot. With only Scavenger, Shockwave and Galvatron left behind, Prowl and the others easily defeated the Decepticons still guarding the spaceship, and forced Galvatron to retreat. In one possible scenario that followed, Prowl helped destroy a hidden Decepticon base that Hot Rod found while the Decepticons gave him chase. In another, Prowl watched on as Sarah left in her spaceship in order to destroy it, vowing it would never be used to bring destruction.

In an alternate scenario where the Autobots silently trailed Scavenger while the Decepticon held Sarah Sanders captive, Prowl and the others followed him all the way to the Decepticons’ secret desert base. Inside, they spied upon Galvatron telling Sarah Sanders that the Decepticons would use Cerebro-Shells to control her mind, so that she would reveal to them to secret of invisibility. At this point, the Autobots decided to step in. A direct attack would only end in the Autobots’ defeat.

In order to rescue Sarah, the Autobots would need to employ trickery. Using Jazz’s special abilities, the Autobots could do just that. In this scenario, the Autobots grabbed Sarah while the Decepticons were too dazzled by the illusions that Jazz projected. Sarah directed the Autobots towards where the Decepticons had stored her ship. Upon following her directions, Prowl and the others came upon two doors, unable to tell behind which one they would find their means of escape.

If the Autobots happened upon Sarah’s ship as they were, they would be destroyed by the droids guarding it. However, if the Autobots first opened the door which lead to a closet filled with Decepticon spare parts, they found a pile of spare Decepticon emblems. Prowl instructed the others to don them. Prowl and the rest of his team were able to fool the Decepticon Droids guarding Sarah’s ship. Escaping in the ship, despite the Decepticons best efforts to stop them, and a malfunctioning engine that Prowl had to fix under pressure, the Autobots returned to Metroplex. Sarah then gave the Autobots the secret to her Invisibility Device, ensuring the Autobots their victory in their war against the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Invisibility Factor}}

===The Official Transformers: Generation 2 Annual===
Prowl, along with the rest of the Ark crew, crash-landed on Earth and awoke millions of years later to find that the war continued there. After years in stalemate with the enemy, Prowl devised of a plan to at least temporarily rid Earth of Megatron's forces. The Autobots allowed Starscream to "overhear" that they had uncovered an ancient Cybertronian ship atop of [[Table Mountain]] in [[Africa]], one which contained the means to return to Cybertron. The Autobots then stationed themselves around the spacecraft. When the Decepticons predictably attacked to seize the ship for themselves, Prowl was hardly able to keep a straight face. After a brief skirmish, the Autobots retreated and allowed the victors to claim their prize. But once all of the Decepticons were within the ship, its doors slammed shut, and it began to hurtle uncontrollably away from the planet. {{storylink|Day of the Decepticons}}

Prowl was part of the crew of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], and was present on the ship's bridge when it was attacked by the Decepticons in the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]''. The vessel crashed on prehistoric [[Earth]], where Prowl and the rest of the crew were sent into stasis lock, and were thus was unable to stop [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] leader [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] from attempting to alter history by travelling back in time and killing [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. Fortunately, the villain's efforts were thwarted by [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]]'s [[Maximal]]s. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}}

====IDW ''Beast Wars'' comics====
As the Great War drew to a close, Prowl, Silverbolt, and Ironhide received news that, in a final and terrible confrontation, both Optimus Prime and Galvatron had perished. These three, and the rest of the Autobot High Council, divided leadership duties over the Autobots between themselves, and took on the post of "[[Primal Council]]" in the process. Prowl proposed they extend an olive branch to the remaining Decepticon troops, arguing that without the mad Galvatron to edge them on, they might be willing to end the war without further bloodshed. The rest of the council agreed to try out Prowl's plan, much to the frustration of the [[Under-3|last surviving member]] of "Unit-3." Despite this upstart's aggressive protests, an [[Tigatron|operative from Unit-2]] was sent out to approach the remaining generals in the Decepticon army amicably. But other troubles loomed ahead, including a report from the late [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] that transwarp reactions had been detected en-masse recently.

[[File:Maximalimperium.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb]]
One general in the enemy force refused the Autobots' call for peace. Having renamed himself "[[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]", he led [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], among others, on a rampage. This forced Prowl and the other members of the council to intervene personally. Prowl joined forces with Silverbolt, Ironhide, Unit-3, and Tigatron to form the gestalt [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]], and pushed back as transwarp energy rained down on Cybetron, turning all those it struck into a fluctuating quantum state. Thankfully, the higher-ups in the Decepticon hierarchy then arrived on the battlefield, and elected to surrender to the Autobots. Thereafter, Prowl was one of the signers of the Pax Cybertronia, officially ending the war. For Prowl, this victory was bittersweet; many of his friends had fallen during the conflict, including Inferno, who had been hit by the aforementioned transwarp energy, and stripped of everything that had made him an individual in the process. {{storylink|Dawn of the Predacus}}

Years into Cybertron's newfound era of peace, Prowl was a member of the Maximal counterpart to the Tripredacus Council, presiding over the [[Maximal Imperium]] alongside former Autobot teammates Ironhide and Silverbolt. The trio sent [[Ikard]] to request a report from [[Big Convoy]], but he refused, citing his need to investigate the [[Angolmois Energy|Angolmois]]-fueled murders. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 2|The Ascending #2}}

[[File:Prowlthewarwithin.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Who are you, and what did you do with Prowl?]]
Prowl was an Autobot from [[Praxus]]. After the death of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] called him, [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], and others to the ruins of Praxus, where he declared that if the new [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] was insufficient, they would take control of the Autobot military. Prowl was present at the ceremony when Optronix became Optimus Prime, and was restrained by Grimlock when Prime was attacked. But Optimus successfully defeated a squad of assassins sent after himduring his inauguration, winning several Autobots over immediately. {{storylink|The War Within issue 1|The War Within #1}} Prowl became Optimus Prime's [[Second-in-command|immediate subordinate]] and adviser. When Optimus ordered a planetary evacuation, Prowl told Prime that there were many voices raised in opposition against it. When Prime asked if Prowl's own voice was raised in opposition, Prowl looked away but did not reply. The [[Planetary engine|planetary turbines]] were then activated by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and Prime left to investigate. {{storylink|The War Within issue 2|The War Within #2}} As [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] led an assault on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Prowl and Jazz led the defense, and Prowl sent out an order to all Autobots outside Iacon to regroup and dig in elsewhere, {{storylink|The War Within issue 3|The War Within #3}} while those with him made a final stand. Upon breaching the last of the Autobots' defenses, Shockwave shot Prowl in the chest, temporarily knocking him offline. {{storylink|The War Within issue 5|The War Within #5}} He was awakened by Jazz just as the city began crumbling down; while the Autobots had been fighting, Starscream had activated one of Cybertron's planetary engines, resulting in a chain reaction that reduced Iacon to a crater. In the battle's aftermath, Prime informed his troops that he was aborting the planet's evacuation; he had learned that abandoning their world would only cause their war to escalate instead of ending it. {{storylink|The War Within issue 6|The War Within #6}}

[[File:Prowldarkagesvehicle.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Cheese it! It's the cops!]]
After Prime and Megatron disappeared in a [[space bridge]] test, the Autobots fractured, leading to the [[Lightning Strike Coalition]] and [[Wrecker]]s leaving the main Autobot army. Prowl took over leadership of the Autobots, doing his best to fight against the similarly fractured Decepticons as they continually struck at their defenses. {{storylink|Fragmentation (G1)|Fragmentation}} After reports came in that a mobile fortress was being built by the Decepticons in the [[Praetorus Wharf]], Prowl led a team to investigate. Upon arrival, they found that the fortress was not only already functional, but also battle-ready: [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] transformed and attacked the group. {{storylink|Devastation (issue)|Devastation}} Realizing they were hopelessly outgunned by the enemy, Prowl ordered his troops to scatter, hoping to simply outrun Trypticon. This change of tactic did little to help, forcing Prowl to send out a distress signal to call for reinforcements. A couple of squads responded, but their combined firepower ''still'' wasn't enough to best Trypticon. The Autobots were only spared because Trypticon suddenly received a message recalling him to the neutral zone, and left in answer to it. {{storylink|Revelation (The Dark Ages)|Revelation}} Returning to base, PRowl learned from Trailbreaker that Jetfire had recently come to the conclusion that current events on Cybertron were being influenced by some outside force. Prowl grew further concerned when he found that Jetfire had gone missing, only for his inquiries to be cut short by the arrival of [[The Fallen]], who broke into their base to reappropriate [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] from one of their holding cells. Though they tried to contain him in a forcefield, the ancient Transformer proved too powerful to be restrained, and made off with Blitzwing in hand. {{storylink|Confrontation (issue)|Confrontation}} Prowl allied himself with Shockwave, who had assumed command of the Decepticons, to prevent The Fallen's plans from coming to fruition. But Prowl did not participate in the battle that ended in The Fallen's defeat, instead staying behind at the Autobase to coordinate tactics against their enemy. Afterwards, Prowl and Shockwave agreed to let the [[Well of All Sparks]] remain sealed "[['Til all are one]]," as Shockwave put it. {{storylink|Conflagration}} Eventually, however, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] took command of the Autobots, and reunited the three factions. Under his leadership, the Autobots gained a significant hold over Cybertron's resources and territories. This eventually forced the [[Ultracon]]s and Shockwave's Decepticons to sign a peace treaty with the Autobots. Prowl was in attendance at the signing of the truce, which was interrupted by a bombing, engineered by Starscream and his Predacons. This act of aggression only served to unite the Autobots, Ultracons, and Decepticons however, and Prowl led a charge against Starscream's troops. A united Cybertron finally seemed within reach... that is, until Megatron made a dramatic return, accompanied by an army of [[Air Warrior]]s. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath}} With this army's aid, Megatron enslaved the Autobot population, including Prowl. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}}

{{Unreleased WW comic}}
Optimus would return to Cybertron, and the Autobots would be freed from slavery. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.6}}

While those left on Cybertron endured the [[Great Shutdown]], a group of Autobots under Optimus Prime's command left on board the Ark in search of new energy sources. Unfortunately, Megatron led an attack on the Autobot flagship from the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'', and both ships crash-landed on a planet called Earth. Millions of years later in the Earth year of 1984, the Autobots and Decepticons awoke and resumed the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. The Decepticons were eventually defeated by the Autobots and their human allies, and the Transformers were set to return home on the ''[[Ark II]]'', but it was sabotaged by General [[Robert Hallo]] and rogue government engineer-turned-arms dealer [[Lazarus|Adam Rook]].

[[File:DWPrimeDirective2 Prowl kills.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|[[Dull surprise|DULL MIND CONTROL]]! Wait... that actually kinda makes sense...]]
In the year [[2002]], Prowl was one of many Transformers under the control of Rook. He, along with several Autobots and Decepticons, attacked the [[Smitco Oil Refinery]] Arctic facility during Rook's sales demonstration to several terrorist organizations. Unfortunately, the invasive program that controlled Prowl killed a helpless human refinery worker escaping from the destruction. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 2|Prime Directive #2}} After Megatron reactivated himself and freed the other Decepticons from Rook's slavery, he used Prowl and the Autobots captured by Lazarus as power sources for his latest doomsday weapon: a metallic cyberforming virus. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 3|Prime Directive #3}}

[[File:Prowl UltraMagnus WarAndPeace1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|We meet again, Puffy McForearm!]]
Sometime after the destruction of the cyberforming virus and the defeat of the Decepticons in [[San Francisco]], the Autobots were lured to the [[Alaska]]n coast by a distress beacon from an Autobot escape pod, and walked right into a Decepticon ambush. The fighting stopped when [[Scourge (G1)|a mysterious Decepticon]] appeared from the pod and declared that hostilities must cease, as Cybertron had been unified under one ruler, but before he could finish this sentence, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] appeared and blasted him. Stating that he was the leader of Cybertron, he ordered all combatants to lay down their arms and surrender themselves to his forces. Megatron, refused to believe him and attacked, giving the Autobots the distraction they needed to recover their wounded and retreat. Once safely away, Optimus Prime ordered Prowl to escort Ratchet and the wounded back to base, but unexpectedly, his strategist refused, citing the need to gather intelligence on the new situation, and to keep Prime and his essential leadership out of potential harm's way. Optimus ceded Prowl's point, and returned to base while Prowl led the recon team. Unfortunately for Prowl, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] made contact with [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and convinced the homesick Autobot to help his Cybertronian forces round up Prowl's team so they could all go home. {{storylink|New World Order}}

After Magnus convinced Optimus Prime and some of his Autobots in [[Oregon]] to turn themselves over, Prowl reported on the situation and Magnus' claims that they needed the Autobots back home to repair the damage done to Cybertron, but stopped short of advocating blind trust in Magnus or Shockwave. Instead, he suggested they keep an open mind, believing Magnus was still an Autobot at his core. {{storylink|Brothers' Burden}} Unbeknownst to them, Shockwave had ordered the deactivation of Optimus Prime and his Autobots, an order that outraged the "former" Autobots under his command. While [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] took Prime through the [[Old Slave Trails]] to see [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]'s rebel team, those under Prowl were taken by [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] to meet with the Autobots rebels [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] was aligned with. {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}} En-route to the rebels' base of operation, Prowl tried to pry some answers out of their rescuers. Smokescreen detailed how several rebel cells had sprung up over time to oppose Shockwave's dictatorship. Unfortunately, just as they arrived at the rebels' meeting ground, Shockwave unleashed the [[Guardian robot|Omega Sentinels]] on the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] in Iacon, brushing aside the trappings of peaceful coexistence and instituting marital law. {{Storylink|Passive Aggression}} However, with Optimus Prime returned, the various sub-factions of Autobot rebels were unified under his inspirational command and launched an all-out attack on Iacon. Prowl was in [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]'s team, and watched as the light from the [[Matrix of Leadership|Autobot Matrix of Leadership]] was unleashed from Shockwave's tower. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}}

[[File:Prowl Ironhide DWOngoing3.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|"My encouraging speech failed miserably. Now the only logical thing to do is get F****ing tanked."]]
Ultimately, the Autobots won the day and retook Cybertron from Shockwave and his Decepticons. After their victory, Prowl resumed contact with the team still stationed in the ''Ark'' on Earth. {{storylink|Generation 1 issue 0|Generation 1 #0}} After Prowl was placed in command of security of the planet, he and Ironhide watched as Autobot recruits were trounced ''again'' by training drones at the Autobase. Prowl knew these recruits were trying their best, but with the situation more volatile than ever, the Autobots needed more troops and had no choice but to accept whomever enlisted. However, he understood Ironhide's concerns that if these new Autobots didn't get themselves into gear, then they might as well not have an army at all. While checking in on Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, Prowl was alerted by the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] that [[Sunstorm (G1)|something]] may have trashed one of Shockwave's labs before blasting off. {{Storylink|Black Sunshine}} Though the obviously more trustworthy Autobots were now in control, the population was still reluctant to support them. Prowl attempted to address their concerns in a public forum at [[Central Hall]], expecting a structured, supportive crowd, but was overwhelmed by the barrage of questions from concerned citizens, much to Ironhide's amusement. Fortunately, Ultra Magnus managed to salvage the embarrassing situation by stepping in to answer the questions posed to Prowl. Later, at New Iacon's [[Alpha Preserve]], Ironhide, Prowl and Kup knocked back [[Kremzeek]]-brand refreshment, reflecting on the changes in politics on Cybertron, and pondering if old relics like themselves were needed anymore. {{storylink|Skyfire (issue)|Skyfire}}

[[File:Prowl DWOngoing04.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|"Why does Bluestreak keep 'poking' me on Facebook? What does that even mean?"]]
To take his mind off post-war politics, Prowl attempted to dig into the mystery of the energy signature detected at the Decepticon laboratory the Protectobots had investigated. He tried to understand why Shockwave was harvesting clones of both Autobots and Decepticons, why energy similar to [[Vector Sigma]] was detected there, and where Shockwave had uploaded the compressed contents of the supercomputer to. Just when the exhausted Prowl was on the cusp of realizing that this all led back to [[Sunstorm (G1)|the missing clone]], Ultra Magnus contacted him, reporting that he had notified the other Autobots for the meeting the next cycle, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, preparations for the Autobots to return to Earth would begin shortly. {{Storylink|The Omega Effect}} The next cycle, as Prowl made his way to the meeting, [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] reported that the upload from Vector Sigma was intended to be downloaded into Shockwave's secret lab, but the network there was overloaded, and so it was downloaded into one of the clones in his lab, which would be far too much for any mortal Transformer. Prowl theorised for the being to remain relatively sane, it must have simplified the information it received, and that Shockwave became interested in Earth only after he began to decode data from Vector Sigma. Still, neither Prowl nor Perceptor had any idea what this all meant. Entering the meeting, Prowl reported that they had a problem and it was heading for Earth. {{Storylink|Original Sin}}

[[File:Prowl Jazz Brawn DWOngoing10.jpg|left|thumb]]
Prowl reported his and Perceptor's findings on the clone and announced a return to Earth, to the agreement of [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]], [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] and [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]], but to the anger of [[Gears (G1)|Gears]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] and [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]]. Prowl understood the reluctance to leave Cybertron so soon after returning for the first time in millions of years, but said that Cybertron was not currently in danger, but they had an obligation to their second home, Earth, and to their human friends. He asked for volunteers over Huffer's protests, but Ironhide commented that for all their complaints, the detractors knew Prowl was right. {{storylink|Atonement}} True to his word, Mirage, Huffer and Gears joined the Autobots going to Earth, though with obvious difficulty. Prowl comforted Huffer, expressing his appreciation in his fellow Autobot for joining him and bringing his invaluable skills on this mission. But at the last, Prowl too agreed that he would miss Cybertron. {{Storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}}

Arriving on Earth, Prowl's team began building a new Autobot facility, far away from settlements so as to not endanger humanity should the Decepticons attack. Prowl welcomed [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]]'s team to the future site of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]]. {{Storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

===''Transformers/G.I. Joe''===
[[File:DWTFJoe2 Jazz Prowl.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Back in World War II, Prowl has a conversation with himself in front of Jazz.]]
Prowl, along with several other Autobots, lay dormant on the [[Fera Islands]] for a long time until [[1939]], when [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] stumbled upon them whilst battling [[Cobra]]. Soon after awakening and being reformatted into a new form, Prowl told [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] not to trust the [[human]]s, as they had just opened fire on [[Ironhide (G1)|Iron Hide]] {{sic}} without provocation. In contrast, the other Autobots were happy to offer G.I. Joe help, though Prowl insisted that they needed more information before throwing themselves headlong into the humans' war. {{storylink|Transformed}} After the Autobots teamed up with the Joes anyway, Prowl mocked [[Duke (G.I. Joe)|Duke]] for thinking a rope would be enough to pull [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] up from a crumbling cliff. {{storylink|Wolves}}

As the Autobots and Joes got closer to the Cobra [[Terrordrome]], Optimus Prime started to regret interfering with the humans and their war, and contemplated withdrawing. Prowl agreed, pointing out that G.I. Joe could very well be the bad guys in the scenario, but [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] told him to shut up. {{storylink|Trenches}} Optimus Prime soon changed his mind, and Prowl participated in the attack on the Terrordrome. Along with all the other Transformers, he was killed when the life-giving [[Matrix of Leadership]] was destroyed. {{storylink|The Iron Fist}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
[[File:GIJoevsTF5 Autobots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Utter prick, now in Firebat Red!]]
Among many of his fellow Autobots (and several Decepticons), Prowl was found dormant on the crashed ''Ark'' by the human terrorist organization [[Cobra]] and reprogrammed to serve them. He and [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] were rebuilt to transform into Cobra [[Firebat]] jets in the process. When the Transformers were eventually freed from the humans' control, Prowl joined a team of Autobots that hunted down [[Cobra Commander]], but failed to capture him as they were distracted by his [[S.N.A.K.E.]] guards. After taking out most of the mechs, the team witnessed [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] get decapitated by [[Storm Shadow]], and descended upon the ninja in a fit of rage. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 5|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5}} Prowl and Bluestreak were later seen fighting two [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] in the sky when the [[SPS Satellite]] went out of control and sent energy beams raining down on [[Cobra Island]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 6|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #6}}

[[File:Prowl and Swideswipe BlackHorizon1.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5]]
A few years later, having returned to Cybertron, Prowl was part of a team of Autobots waiting for a chance to charge in and free Optimus Prime from [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]]'s clutches. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}} With the Decepticon army defeated, Prowl was sent back to Earth as part of a team that worked to prevent Cybertronian technology from falling into the wrong hands. After a failed attempt to capture [[Destro]] while he was illegally selling S.N.A.K.E.s in [[Cuba]], Prowl returned to the team's headquarters at the ''[[Arc II]]'' and discussed Optimus Prime's recent mission to [[Tibet]] with [[Firewall]]. The base then came under attack by the [[Pretender Monster]]s, and Prowl fought them alongside [[Eject (G1)|Eject]]. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2}} He was heavily injured during the battle, but soon received medical attention at [[Pit (G.I. Joe)|the Pit]] and was set for a full recovery. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 2 of 2}}

{{-}}

===''Transformers Legends'' anthology===
When Optimus Prime accidentally killed a fellow Autobot, Prowl—who never liked [[Geosensus|the dead guy]] anyway—covered it up so the rest of the team wouldn't lose faith in their leader. He swore that if the accidental killing was ever discovered, he would take the blame. {{Storylink|Parts}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
[[File:Infiltration2-ProwlchargesRatchet.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|He wasn't the first to do it, but NO ONE pricks like this prick.]]
{{main|Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity}}
Prowl learned to appreciate rules and discipline during his formative years in [[Petrex]], a strictly [[functionism|functionist]] town where saying anything bad about your [[alternate mode]] could get you thrown in jail. He eventually made it into the [[Iaconian Mechaforensic Division]], where he became the partner of [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Tumbler]] and became caught up in complex series of events centred around a plot by the [[Senate]] to lobotomise members of the Decepticon movement. After a time spent working in [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], he attempted to desert when war broke out in earnest, but [[Peaceful Resolution|his ship]] was shot down and he was forced to take a full part in it, generating a jealous hatred of neutral Transformers thereafter.

Millions of years later, he was the Autobot unit commander on Earth, still focused on the rules, and had only become more frustrated with the tendency of the Autobots in general and Optimus specifically to lionise and listen to charismatic warriors and mavericks as time passed. Having covertly aided in the recovery of [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]], he took the chance to make some "improvements" during his rebuilding, which would ensure that the iconic elder could be controlled and made to act as a proxy for him. Prowl didn't want attention or glory, he only wanted to do his job, and he had absolutely no ethical qualms about ensuring that "when [Kup] speaks, you won't even see my lips move"...

After the Decepticon [[Surge (event)|Surge]] and the counter-offensive that finally drove them from Earth, Prowl was forced to remain there at the insistence of Optimus Prime. Optimus believed they could not leave in good conscience while human society was still in disarray from their war and rogue Decepticons still wandered the planet. A spell as a beat cop car made him reassess matters, but the betrayal of [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] reversed that and more. On their return to Cybertron, and the return of thousands of neutrals, or "[[NAIL]]s" as he contemptuously dubbed them, a misjudged attempt to blackmail [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Chromedome]] led to the [[mnemosurgery|mnemosurgeon]] erasing his memory of the blackmail knowledge, and left his mind open to [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]]'s [[cerebro-shell]], making him a Decepticon puppet and even the head of [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] until [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] killed the puppet-master, after which he was driven from Iacon along with the rest of the Autobots and Decepticons who would not renounce their factions.

===''Hearts of Steel''===
[[File:Prowl HeartsofSteel1.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Prehistoric prick.]]
Prowl and the other Autobots fought the Decepticons on prehistoric Earth until an incoming ice age threatened to destroy them all. Both sides went into hiding underground, powering down until the threat had passed. When they were eventually awoken thanks to humans in the mid-19th century, Prowl and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] decided it was best not to wake up [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and get involved with humanity just yet. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 1|Hearts of Steel #1}} [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] disagreed and met with some humans, and from them he learned that the Decepticons had been awakened as well. Prowl and Ratchet, who seemingly led the Autobots in Prime's absence, then saw the need to ally with the humans and defeat their long-time enemies. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 2|Hearts of Steel #2}}

[[File:ProwlandBeesteambodies-HOS4.jpg|right|upright=0.95|thumb|Victorian prick.]]
The Autobots took on new Earth modes, forming a train to pursue the Decepticons' [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] as it headed towards [[New York City|New York]]. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 3|Hearts of Steel #3}} They were briefly held back when the Decepticons collapsed a tunnel entrance on them, forcing Prowl and the others to stop and dig the rest of the train and their human allies out of the rubble. Once the Astrotrain was stopped and the Decepticons were defeated, the Autobots went back underground to continue fighting another day. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 4|Hearts of Steel #4}}

Having become a fan of [[w:CSI (franchise)|CSI]], Prowl insisted on investigating all the clues in a crime scene to determine who was responsible, despite it being obviously that the Decepticons were the culprits.

===''Henkei! Henkei!'' pack-in manga===
Prowl was waiting on a roadside when a yellow car zoomed past. Prowl instantly pursued it and ordered the car to a halt. The car proved itself to be none other than [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], who was protecting a boy from the Seekers that the child had spray painted. Prowl then bolted into action and drove off the Decepticon planes. Prowl warned the child about the Decepticons but Sunstreaker congratulated him for his work. Prowl was not amused. {{storylink|Henkei! Henkei! volume 5|Henkei! Henkei! #5}}

Prowl was Optimus's best friend for life! Both of them, along with the rest of their friends, traveled to Earth in search of energon.

The evil robots were defeated, though the Autobots decided to keep vigil over the Earth in case they ever returned. {{storylink|I Am Optimus Prime (Robot Heroes)|I Am Optimus Prime}}

===''Alternity''===
The Prowl of an unspecified [[universal stream]] came to be an ally of the [[Alternity]], a collective of higher-dimensional beings tasked with guarding the multiverse from incredible threats. He helped provide cover fire for a cross-universal battle when the more evolved beings in his squad suddenly all seized up. They returned to normal after a moment, but had dreadful news for their allies: the Alternity's aggregate had been sundered by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], robbing them of their god-like powers! As a retaliatory strike, Prowl suggested that the Alternity and its allies attempt to simultaneously destroy several of Megatron's [[auto-avatar]]s throughout the Multiverse, hoping to destabilize the source of their foe's own power, the essence of [[Hytherion]]. The Autobots succeeded in destroying 667 of Megatron's bodies, allowing the Alternity's sucessors, the "[[Planicron|Flaternity]]", to deliver the finishing blow that obliterated the [[Megatron Aggregate]]. {{storylink|Alternation}}

:*''First Appearance:'' [[The World In Your Eyes Part Two|''Transformers'' issue #2]]

Prowl was a member of [[Security Operations]], working closely under [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]]. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Two}} His ill-tempered, prickly disposition was so infamous that even [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Orion Pax]] would occasionally use Prowl as a measuring stick when describing other people's foul moods. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part One}} Prowl and Chromia greeted the returning [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] after his failed mission to [[Probat (planet)|Probat]]. {{storylink|Wannabee, Part 2}} At some point, Prowl bought a stray female [[flyt]] off a [[Voin]] scavenger, naming her [[Green]] and keeping her in his quarters as a pet. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Swindle's|Swindle's}}

[[File:TheWorldInYourEyesPart5 ProwlAndGreen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.75|left|]]
Prowl and Chromia arrived on the scene after [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] had been murdered by [[The Rise]]. Prowl took note of a possible witness to the crime mentioned by [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]]- that of a Voin scavenger that she encountered in the vicinity. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Two}} Later, Prowl joined Orion Pax and others in watching a broadcast in which [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] unveiled his new [[Ascenticon Guard]], much to their collective concern. He reported on the investigation into Brainstorm's murder to Pax and his search for the potential Voin witness. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}} Prowl's investigation had to be put on hold as he was forced to work security during [[Gauge]]'s [[Reproduction|forging]] ceremony at the [[Pyramid (Cybertron)|Pyramid]] alongside [[Barricade (IDW)|Barricade]]. His bad mood did not improve when he found [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Rubble]] getting in the middle of a scuffle between a [[Reversionist]] and an [[Decepticon|Ascenticon]]. Prowl told the two to take a hike and harshly dismissed Rubble's naive offer of help with the Voin investigation. However, when Barricade demeaned them after they were out of earshot, Prowl told his partner to lay off the pair. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}} Prowl later retired to his quarters to reevaluate his approach to the investigation (and to feed Green), deciding to shake down some informants with connections to the Voin. He received a panicked call from Rubble, who claimed he had located the Voin Prowl was looking for, but the call abruptly ended when Rubble was murdered with Prowl still on the line. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Five}}

Wracked with regret over Rubble's senseless death, Prowl was present as [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] performed an autopsy on the young 'bot. After Ratchet told him that Rubble and Brainstorm did not share the same murderer, Prowl became even more determined to bring the killers to justice. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part One}} Suspecting [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] to be Rubble's murderer, Prowl and Chromia consulted with [[Froid]] about him, only for their interview to be interrupted by the sudden and violent arrival of a wounded [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. He told them that he was attacked by Risers at the [[Iacon Memorial Crater]] and they should look into what was going on there. Prowl helped Cyclonus to get medical treatment as Chromia decided to assemble a team to investigate the site. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Two}}

[[File:TheCracksBeneathYourFeetPartThree ProwlHeadlock.jpg|thumb|upright=1.9|right|''Dios mio!'' My evil twin has struck again!]]
Prowl then went off on his own to get some information from black market dealer [[Headlock (G1)|Headlock]], cornering the criminal in an alley and demanding answers about the dead Voin that Rubble saw before he himself was killed. Headlock claimed he had ALREADY told Security everything he knew, much to Prowl's confusion, as they had never spoken about it before. Headlock then clarified that he had given his information about the Voin to Barricade earlier, stunning Prowl. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Three}} Hearing that Barricade had abruptly quit Security Operations and joined the Ascenticons, Prowl brought a group of trainees to the front door of [[Ascenticon Headquarters]]. He met with [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], requesting that he be allowed inside to question Barricade. Soundwave bluntly refused, leaving Prowl infuriated. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four}}

Prowl reported to [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] about several dangerous situations unfolding on Cybertron. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part One}} He brought [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]] to speak with the Voin representatives on Cybertron to see if she could diplomatically acquire any information on his case. She was able to trade Security's information on The Rise in exchange for further illumination on Brainstorm's death and warned Prowl that greater troubles regarding the Voin were on the horizon. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}} Sure enough, the Voin soon sent an "asserter" to Cybertron that would enact vengeance against whomever had killed their kind, and Prowl escorted it through the streets while Nautica tried to talk the alien down. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}}

[[File:Prowl, Nightbeat & Green.jpeg|thumb|left|upright=1.2|"You are... a good friend. I know that. I am sorry... that it is sometimes difficult."]]
As the situation on Cybertron continued to degenerate, Prowl began to brood alone in his quarters, watching [[Andromeda (G1)|Andromeda]]'s news broadcasts and stewing in his perceived failure to prevent the recent tragedies. He was visited by his old colleague [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] who sought to shake Prowl out of his funk by providing a new lead in the investigation of The Rise. Prowl was soon granted access to interrogate [[Singe]], and demonstrated his distinctly-harsh manner of acquiring information from criminals. Singe pointed Security in the direction of [[Swindle's]], and Prowl and Nightbeat put together a team to investigate the illegal gambling den. Prowl didn't have much patience for [[Strongarm (BWU)|Strongarm]] and [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]]'s inexperience, nor [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]'s defiance, but the operation went forward under his supervision. Bumper entered the establishment alone, reporting to Prowl on what he saw via internal comms. The rookie officer noticed [[Whisper (G1)|Visper]] and [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] chatting with [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]], but in turn was made by Mindwipe. Losing contact with Bumper, Prowl and the others breached the door, sending Swindle's patrons scrambling in all directions. Mindwipe had managed to hypnotize Bumper and sicced him on Prowl, but Prowl non-lethally took his subordinate down before he could do any harm. While most of the criminals had escaped, Prowl booked Swindle and prepared to interrogate the defeated [[Storm Cloud (G1)|Storm Cloud]], believing he finally had a solid link to The Rise. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Swindle's|Swindle's}}

*Footage from the previous two commercials was spliced in with new footage of Jazz, Sideswipe and Prowl charging into battle alongside Optimus Prime in a commercial advertising toys for both Optimus and Megatron. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Optimus Prime and Megatron|Optimus Prime and Megatron commercial}}
*Prowl, Jazz and Sideswipe were once more seen together, this time storming the Decepticon base. Unknown to them, the nearby inconspicuous micro-cassette recorder was the Decepticon communications officer, Soundwave! As soon as the Autobots stepped past him, Soundwave transformed and sic'ed Laserbeak on them. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Soundwave|Soundwave commercial}}
*Prowl, [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] and Sunstreaker fled from a Decepticon attack, and hid behind a mountain concealing the Autobots' newest warrior, [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]! {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Jetfire and Shockwave|Jetfire and Shockwave commercial}}
*Much later, Prowl was with a band of Autobots who agreed to join Optimus Prime as he gave up transformation powers to become "more alive". {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Action Masters|Action Masters commercial}}
*[[Action Master]]-form Prowl battled Starscream aboard his [[Turbo Cycle (G1)|Turbo Cycle]] on Cybertron. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Action Master vehicles|Action Master vehicles commercial}}

He also appeared on promotional videos online:
*Prowl planned on attending [[BotCon 2009]] alongside his fellow Autobots. {{storylink|BotCon 2009!}}
*Prowl was standing idle inside the Autobots' base when [[Punch (G1)|Punch]] reported back to Optimus on what he had recently found out about the Decepticons. {{storylink|BotCon 2010 Promo}}

==Notes==
[[File:Tftm prowl blowsmoke.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Turns out he ''didn't'' know his vocalizer from his exhaust port.]]
[[File:ProwlMaybe BM.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Be too prickish, and you end up like this.]]
*The Autobot [[Insignia|faction symbol]] seems to be loosely based on Prowl's head.
*The Bluestreak/Prowl head design was used as the basis for the head of [[Natron]], the Autobot [[Tyco]] [[Electric Racing Set]] car.
*Instead of having a normal gunshot death in ''The Transformers: The Movie'', Prowl is shown having orange smoke coming from his mouth as he dies. ''Hardcore.''
*A very Prowlish [[Character model|computer model]] was used for one of the [[generic]] Transformers in ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]''. It is seen as a corpse in a [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] factory in the episode "[[Revelations Part I: Discovery]]". A similar thing happens with [[Soundwave (G1)#Notes|Soundwave]], [[:File:Bm soundwave.jpg|too]].
*Prowl is generally a stuffed shirt, but [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] let [[Nick Roche]] start to turn him into a methodically, ruthlessly practical planner who'd be engaged in... [[All Hail Megatron issue 15|''questionable'']] things for the "greater good". This turned out to be a very popular take, and when IDW had Prowl become a more conventional Autobot later on, a large number of fans ''protested'' and wanted him to stay morally dodgy.<ref>[http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=7345 IDW forum thread practically begging for Prowl's new characterization to be undone.]</ref> In an [[Andy Schmidt|editorial boo-boo]], Prowl ''would'' [[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|still be scheming]] at the same time [[Ride-Along|he had explicitly]] [[...For All Mankind|turned nice]]. By the time of [[Infestation (IDW)|''Infestation'']], Prowl's personality had returned to the amoral schemer, not only in the miniseries, but in the ongoing itself.
*''Kre-O'' Prowl's title in the Class of 1984 set (Best Logic Processors) is most likely swapped with Shockwave's (Best Optics). This is supported by their classic G1 counterparts' bios- it is Prowl who can track and analyze the trajectory of 800 moving objects while Shockwave is the servant of logic.

:''Tidal Wave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Tidal wave looms ps2.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Like a vast predatory <s>bird</s> fish...]]
'''Tidal Wave''' (sometimes '''Mirage''') is a colossal powerhouse, one of the largest Decepticons under [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]'s command. His power is backed up by a brain that doesn't exactly run at optimal speeds; he's not so much stupid as he is single-minded and easily frustrated, although [[Pokeformers|his tendency to shout his own name repeatedly as a sort of battle cry]] doesn't do much to refute his reputation as a knucklehead. In battle he is merciless, an unyielding engine of destruction.

He is unquestionably loyal to Megatron and his ideals and will quickly sign up with anyone that promises power to the Decepticon cause. He may or may not have a [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|soft spot for children]].<ref>One of the ''Super Link'' [[commercial bumper]]s features Mirage introducing himself, then telling the good little children out there that it's nice to meet them.</ref>

Tidal Wave's [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Ramjet (Armada)|Ramjet]].

==Fiction==
===Toy pack-in comics===
[[File:Armada V4 Tidal Wave.jpg|thumb]]
On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Tidal Wave rescued [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] when the [[Decepticon]] leader was being transported to prison. The two combined, and their power was too much for [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]] and [[Rollout (Armada)|Rollout]] to handle. Their battle was cut short when Ramjet pointed out the gigantic form of [[Unicron]] in the sky. {{Storylink|Armada Volume 4}}

[[File:Energon V4 Decepticons.jpg|thumb|left]]

As part of [[Eclipse-Team]], Tidal Wave, now in a new body and using the name "Mirage," was assigned to patrol the exterior of an Autobot [[energon]] refinery plant while his team-mates [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]] and [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Slugslinger]] plundered the resources within. The plan quickly went awry and when Slugslinger called in Mirage for reinforcement, Mirage was swatted by [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] for his troubles. The mission was a complete failure. {{Storylink|Energon Volume 3}}

In another battle, Mirage, along with [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]], [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]], and [[Shockblast]], were sicced on a weakened [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], but were blasted away by [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]]. {{storylink|Energon Volume 4}}

[[File:ArmadaTidalShockwave.jpg|thumb|left|220px]]
After leading the Decepticons to victory on the planet [[Dabola]], {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}} Tidal Wave was brought to [[Earth]] by the Decepticon strategist [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] in an attempt to bolster [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s forces. He passed [[Neptune]] on his way to [[Earth]], {{storylink|Detection}} before coming upon the Autobots and Decepticons locked in a beachfront battle. Thrust's claims of Tidal Wave's prowess initially conflicted with the newcomer's... lack of grace. This was exemplified when [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]] capsized the huge warship and sent it to the bottom of the deep. However, Tidal Wave quickly recovered by transforming into his massively powerful [[robot mode]] and quickly sent the Autobots scrambling for cover. {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}}
[[File:ArmTVTidalWave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Crumbs, chief.]]
Pounding the Autobots with firepower, Thrust called out to Tidal Wave to initiate his party piece. Tidal Wave transformed and split into three component vehicle sections (which somehow shrank in size), headed for Megatron and Powerlinxed with him, forming a combination known as ''Burning Megatron''. Megatron declared that "The Power is Mine!" before setting off in pursuit of Jet Optimus. Tidal Wave gave Megatron flight capability and an overwhelming amount of firepower which kept Jet Optimus at bay long enough for Megatron to slice the connection point between Optimus Prime and [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] with the Star Saber. However, Optimus Prime managed to obtain the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]] and used it to injure both Tidal Wave and Megatron, forcing the Decepticons to retreat {{storylink|Desperate}} to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] for repairs. {{storylink|Runaway}}

Tidal Wave later participated in the Decepticons' operation to steal the Blaster. When the Decepticons learned the Autobots had not brought the super-weapon into the open, Megatron had Tidal Wave abandon Starscream on the battlefield and combined with him to attack the undermanned enemy headquarters. There, Megatron used the extra power Tidal Wave granted him to take the Requiem Blaster by force. {{storylink|Sacrifice}} After Starscream cracked and attacked Megatron, Tidal Wave was sent after him to Earth when the rogue Decepticon jet escaped their moon base with the Star Saber in his possession. The Autobots initially assumed both Decepticons were part of a combined attack, but eventually came to Starscream's assistance against Tidal Wave when the Decepticon shot him down. Hot Shot nailed Tidal Wave in the eye with his axle cannon but the powerful Tidal Wave recovered quickly and caused problems for Jet Optimus, who couldn't so much as scratch him. This prompted Starscream to toss the Star Saber to the Autobot leader which he used to slice off one of Tidal Wave's chest guns and forced the Decepticon to retreat again. {{storylink|Regeneration (Armada)|Regeneration}}

[[File:Desperate Tidal Wave blocked.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]

Tidal Wave was present when Starscream led the Autobots into the heart of the Decepticon base to liberate the captive Mini-Cons. He handily took down Side Swipe, then moved to the chamber where the [[Hydra Cannon]] was under construction to prevent the Mini-Cons from being lost to the Autobots. On the way, he encountered [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]] and Hot Shot, the latter of whom distracted him long enough for the former to penetrate deeper into the Decepticon base.

Though Hot Shot fought hard, Tidal Wave was simply too big and powerful for the young 'bot to defeat alone, so he fled to the construction room with Tidal Wave in hot pursuit. Tidal Wave arrived just in time to see the Mini-Cons flee with Perceptor. [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] then arrived and the two fought for a while before the Autobots retreated, their objectives achieved. {{storylink|Rescue}}

[[File:Rescue tidal wave kicked.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]

Megatron then sent Tidal Wave to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] as part of a trap for Starscream and Jetfire. He beat up Starscream in the sky, but lost him in a dust storm. He encountered both the Autobots, as well as their Mini-Cons, shortly thereafter in orbit where they had located [[Firebot (Armada)|Firebot]]. Megatron and Thrust arrived to help him at this point, but all three were forced back when the three Mini-Con weapons reacted to their close proximity, and unleashed a powerful wave of energy. {{storylink|Mars (episode)|Mars}}

Tidal Wave participated in the attack during which Starscream returned to the Decepticons, bringing the Star Saber and Skyboom Shield with him. Once again, he fought Hot Shot and Jet Optimus. {{storylink|Crack (episode)|Crack}} When Optimus Prime and Jetfire arrived to stop the Decepticon ship from unleashing the power of the [[Hydra Cannon]] against Earth, Tidal Wave was able to use cloaking technology to sneak up on the Autobot leader. He then proceeded to pin down Optimus, only for Jetfire to throw Starscream at him, allowing Optimus to wrestle free from his grasp. Nonetheless, thanks to Tidal Wave's and the other Decepticons' efforts, Optimus was forced to sacrifice himself to stop the super-weapon's blast from reaching the planet.{{storylink|Crisis (Armada)|Crisis}} Tidal Wave later combined with Megatron to defeat Side Swipe, {{storylink|Miracle}} and again when they found themselves on [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]]'s world. {{storylink|Puppet}} He presumably took part in Galvatron's conquest of Cybertron {{storylink|Uprising (Armada)|Uprising}} and later tried, with only partial success, to prevent Hot Shot from getting close to Galvatron. {{storylink|Dash (episode)|Dash}}

[[File:Cramp galvatron tidalwave.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3]]

After that, Tidal Wave was assigned a squad to Decepticons and sent to clear an area of Autobots. He engaged Jetfire during this time, calling the Autobot a "show-off". {{storylink|Portent}} He again combined with Megatron when the Decepticon leader decided to approach Optimus Prime for some... aggressive negotiations. Jetfire managed to keep him occupied single-handedly during this time. {{storylink|Cramp}}

Tidal Wave attended the meeting during which the Autobots and Decepticons formed a temporary truce to combat the menace of [[Unicron]], notably shaking hands with Jetfire. {{storylink|Alliance}} After this, he combined with Galvatron in order to kill the traitorous Thrust, and then, with the similarly combined Optimus Prime and Jetfire, helped his commander penetrate deep into the core of Unicron, while he doubled back to keep the titan occupied. {{storylink|Union}} Though Tidal Wave participated on the final assault on Unicron, his efforts proved unecessary; once Galvatron sacrificed himself to the dark god, there was no longer enough hatred in the universe to sustain Unicron, and he vanished from existence. The Transformers' war now at an end, Tidal Wave and his fellow Cybetronians stood united as a race, and begun rebuilding their war-torn planet. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}

{{noteslonly}}

''Before he came to Earth, Tidal Wave was in charge of a [[Decepticon]] platoon on [[Dabola]] which included [[Shockblast]] and [[Six Shot]]. After a series of battles, they eliminated the Autobots on the planet but Shockblast and Six Shot grew bored and started lashing out at their Decepticon allies. Tidal Wave eventually managed to drive them away and subsequently garnered an everlasting hatred for Shockblast. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}}''

After the end of the Unicron Battles, Tidal Wave loyally followed Galvatron's last request—that the Decepticons remain at peace with the Autobots. During the ten year period that followed, Tidal Wave somewhere along the line changed not only his color palette but also his occupation—instead of being a warrior, he was now a guardian of the [[energon]] mines in the Solar System's asteroid belt.

[[File:Energon-Tidal-Wave-Meets-Scorponok.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]

Tidal Wave's post was one of the first targets of the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] hordes. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}} After being attacked and abducted, {{storylink|Energon Stars}} he was brought to [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] and [[Alpha Quintesson]]'s base of operations where they convinced him to side with them by promising to revive Megatron, a deal which Tidal Wave eagerly agreed to despite clearly disliking Scorponok. He began by attacking an energon-mining facility on Mars and managed to obtain a large amount of energon before being driven back by the Autobots. {{storylink|Scorpinok (episode)|Scorpinok}} At some point thereafter, he met up with Cyclonus somewhere in space and gave him a quick run-down on the situation. Cyclonus liked the idea of reviving Megatron, but was skeptical that this goal could actually be achieved.

After that, Tidal Wave led a force of Terrorcons to attack [[Mars City]] and steal its energon. Due to the city's weak defenses, he was able to grab all its energon and slaughter most of its guards and inhabitants before leaving.

Fresh from this success, he led an attack on [[Plains City]] alongside Scorponok where he faced off against his old allies Cyclonus and Demolishor. They were again repelled after a fierce battle against the Autobots, but this time Cyclonus came with them, having seen that Scorponok possessed [[Energon Sword|Megatron's sword]] and thus concluding that Megatron could be brought back to life with reasonable effort {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}.

[[File:Energon-Cyclonus-Galvatron-Corpse.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66]]

Tidal Wave, Cyclonus, and Scorponok returned to Unicron's body where Tidal Wave showed Megatron's corpse to Cyclonus. After Cyclonus hitting the corpse failed to resurrect it, he and Tidal Wave began to question Scorponok over whether or not it was possible to bring Megatron back, given what state he was in. They were dismissively ordered to simply keep at their Energon-gathering tasks. Tidal Wave's team then tried to raid a recently discovered Energon vein in some snow mountains, but were driven away when the Autobots warped in an [[Cybertron City (city)|entire city]] atop of it. {{Storylink|The New Cybertron City}}

After this, the Autobots upgraded all their defenses around their energon sources, leading to a series of defeats for the Decepticons under Alpha Q's control. In frustration, Cyclonus kicked Megatron's corpse a few times in proxy revenge for all the times he'd mistreated them. Tidal Wave begged him not to do that and verbally defended Megatron when their leader's disembodied voice demanded that they treat him with more respect.

Seeing that Megatron's spark was causing trouble, Scorponok attempted to kill him outright but only succeeded in resurrecting him in a new body; at this, Tidal Wave was overjoyed and gleefully helped Megatron take control of Unicron's body from Alpha Q. He then followed Megatron in another attack on Plains City, during which Hot Shot lost an arm. {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}} After this, they returned to their base where Tidal Wave was assigned to guard the recently inducted Scorponok. Scorponok wondered why Megatron didn't kill Optimus Prime in their last sortie and Tidal Wave told him to figure it out - in the event that he did, the rest of the Decepticons would start to trust him.

Tidal Wave later took part in the Decepticon mission to [[Ocean City]], during which Demolishor returned to their ranks {{storylink|Megatron Raid}} for another raid on [[Moon (moon)|Earth's moon]]. {{storylink|Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary}} He also accompanied the Decepticons in their next attack on Ocean City, attacking from beneath the water but was like everyone else, repelled by the [[energon tower]]'s ''Autobot-flavored'' energon. {{storylink|Energon Tower (episode)|Energon Tower}} He was present when Megatron, for the first and only time, used the powers he gained from Unicron to restore Starscream's loyalty to the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Legend of Rodimus}}

After this, he observed a force of Alpha Q's Terrorcons investigating [[Jungle City]], and reasoned that there was probably energon to be had. The Decepticons attacked and made off with as much energon as they could, during which Tidal Wave attempted to destroy the energon tower. On this occasion, most of their efforts went to waste when the Autobots exploded the city to prevent the Decepticons from getting the energon, but the 'Cons still came out ahead. {{storylink|Crisis in Jungle City}}

He also took part in an attempt to capture [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]]. {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}} When this failed, Megatron got the idea that chucking some giant comet-shaped lumps of Unicron at Earth would obliterate the Autobots and assigned Tidal Wave to lead the efforts in pushing them across the gulf of space. Tidal Wave explained to Scorponok that this slow procession would scare the humans much more than having the projectiles appear near their planet without warning.

However, Megatron's grand plan just gave the humans and Autobots time to prepare and so the plan failed miserably. All the Decepticons fled back to Unicron. {{storylink|Energon Grid (episode)| Energon Grid}} Following this, Megatron ordered them to find Alpha Q, who would be the next potential target for retrieving a lot of energon. Demolishor and Tidal Wave protested that this would be nigh impossible, but Megatron would have none of it. Just before trying to track him down, Tidal Wave and Starscream were responsible for seeing that Scorponok took all his energon back to Megatron and didn't try to skim any off the top for Alpha Q. {{storylink|Rodimus Friend or Foe?}}

He later took part in a plan to lure out Alpha Q, using Scorponok as bait. However, it was [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] who came to Scorponok's rescue. All the Decepticons present, Tidal Wave among them, exchanged fire with Rodimus's team and retreated when Megatron was injured. {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}} Some time after this battle, he received a message from Snow Cat that he had found energon on an icy planet and so the Decepticons set off in pursuit. He attacked the ''[[Miranda II]]'' alongside Megatron and, after making some initial gains, the two were forced back by Alpha Q's new [[Cruellock]] drones.

Still, this event ended well for Tidal Wave and the Decepticons. The Autobot's used the ''Miranda II's'' [[Energon Ring]] to destroy the Terrorcons, allowing the Decepticons to take all the planet's energon. {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}} After that, he took part in a rather half-hearted attack on the ''Miranda II'' in deep space, and was again driven off. {{storylink|A Tale of Two Heros}} After that, the Autobots under Optimus Prime decided to attack Unicron and so the Decepticons went to defend their base, Tidal Wave paying particular attention to Optimus Prime. After fighting for a while, both Unicron and the ''Miranda II'' arrived at Cybertron where both sides fell back to regroup. {{storylink|Battle Stations}}

[[File:Energon-Shockblast-Rides-Tidal-Wave.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]

With the arrival of Unicron, Cybertron erupted into chaos. Megatron decided to recruit the unstable and dangerous Shockblast, ''who had been imprisoned by the Autobot/Decepticon coalition since Tidal Wave had last seen him''. Due to their previous enmity, Tidal Wave vehemently opposed this plan, but to no avail. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}} Shockblast [[radio]]ed Megatron regarding a cache of energon big enough to revive Unicron, and thus despite his objections to trusting Shockblast, Tidal Wave was assigned to lead a team to this location.

As soon as they met, Shockblast immediately took charge of the operation, sending the Decepticons to smash various towers. Tidal Wave, ''being familiar with Shockblast'', refused to obey him and the two began squabbling with Shockblast actually using Tidal Wave as a flying surfboard from which to shoot down Autobots. Megatron ordered the Decepticons to bring Shockblast to him and, his loyalty to Megatron being greater than his hatred of Shockblast, Tidal Wave reluctantly did so. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}}

Tidal Wave kept up his dislike and distrust of Shockblast, even going so far as to blame him for Unicron's highly destructive pangs of hunger. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}} When Unicron had been sated, Megatron sent the surviving Decepticons to destroy Cybertron's energy grid with Shockblast in command; Tidal Wave chafed at this, but still obeyed his commander. Shockblast ended up getting in over his head and so Tidal Wave tried to rescue him, getting hit by a falling energon tower in the process. {{storylink|Each One Fights...}} After this, Megatron rebuilt him as Mirage.

[[File:Energon-Mirage-1st-Appearance.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66]]

Mirage's first mission in his new body was to lead a large force of Terrorcons down to Cybertron as a distraction to allow Shockblast to sneak in with the main force. The plan worked and, despite Shockblast's incompetence, Unicron was restored to functionality. {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}} The Autobots retaliated and Mirage helped defend Unicron. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} In the aftermath he helped Starscream save Megatron from Shockblast's attempted coup and then followed Megatron into the rift in space that had opened up in the meantime. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}}

[[File:Energon-Mirage-Unleashed.jpeg|right|thumb|upright=1.66|I got smaller after my upgrade?]]

Mirage followed Megatron when he destroyed the first of Alpha Q's planets and also when they took a large amount of energon from [[Iron Planet]] while deliberately not helping the imprisoned Shockblast. {{storylink|Protection}} He then accompanied Megatron on his secret mission to Iron Planet. There, Mirage advised Megatron not to release Shockblast; Megatron agreed, threatening to 'rewire' the traitor which inspired Shockblast to offer to capture an Autobot as proof of his loyalty. Megatron did release Shockblast at this, above Mirage's objections; Mirage's fears on this particular occasion proves groundless as Shockblast did indeed capture [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]], allowing Megatron to forcibly turn him into a Decepticon. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}}

When Scorponok went to harvest the energon from [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], Mirage was among those who distracted the Autobots from this mission. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}} Mirage took part in the Decepticons' attempt to steal Jungle Planet's Energon before an energon tower was activated there. They met with failure. {{storylink|Bulkhead (episode)|Bulkhead}}

Some time later, he took part in the attack on the Autobot base on Ocean Planet, approaching the base of the energon tower from underwater and destroying it. The Autobots brought in another tower to Ocean Planet, and Mirage tried once more to destroy it, but this time was met by an Autobot team waiting for him underwater. They foiled Mirage's attempt at toppling this second tower, and the Decepticons were forced to flee as the [[energon grid]] came online. {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}} ''When [[Planet Q]] was restored, Mirage was one of those sent to guard the palace in case Scorponok should get in and regain his memories, but was smashed out of the way by [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]]. As it turned out, however, they needn't have bothered. {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}}''

He later took part in another defense of Unicron against the Autobots, and was this time defeated by the presence of [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] and the timely arrival of Inferno, now rebuilt as Roadblock, with a huge number of energon towers. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} He remained with Unicron and again fought to defend the chaos bringer's body from those who would destroy it, sucessfully doing so long enough for Megatron to reattach the Planet-Eater's head to its body. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}}

Optimus used the new powers granted to him by his combination with Omega Supreme to toss Snowcat and Mirage around like rag dolls as he made his way towards Megatron's throne room. As soon as the pair recovered, they were hounded by a team of Autobots led by Hot Shot, leaving them unable to help Megatron gather the last bit of Energon he needed to fully awaken Unicron. Then... the voice of the Decepticon leader was heard throughout the planet, declaring Megatron was no more: Unicron was now in command of the Decepticon's body! {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Mirage, Snow Cat, and Demolishor struggled to escape the planet-eater's internal defenses. They failed, and ended up bound to Unicron's surface by energy-tendrils, giving them a front-row seat for Unicron/Megatron's battle with the giant-size, [[Primus]]-empowered Optimus Supreme. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} Fortunately for them, they were freed by a barrage of Autobot fire moments before Optimus destroyed Unicron, and captured by [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]]. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}

Mirage, Snow Cat, and Demolishor were summarily put in prison where they shared a block with Six Shot. ''Oddly enough, given their history'', Mirage didn't seem to bear Six Shot any of the hatred he had for his brother. The four jailbirds were eventually released by Starscream. {{storylink|Ambition}} During the jailbreak, Mirage was separated from the others, but soon found them again. Not seeing any Autobots around, they just decided to blow up whatever was convenient. After a while, the others left him to attend to various tasks, leaving Mirage and Snow Cat to carry on creating chaos. {{storylink|Wishes}}
[[File:Energon-Mirage-Galvatron!.jpg|thumb|200px|left]]
After Six Shot collapsed the energon towers and flooded Cybertron with ''Decepticon-flavored'' energon gas, Mirage and Snow Cat rejoined the rest of the Decepticons in their commandeered control room, where they along with Demolishor were ready and willing to express their disdain for Six Shot when he activated the base defenses to fire on the ''Miranda II'' without Galvatron's express permission. {{storylink|Galvatron!}}

The Autobots were soon to find a way to break through the gas shroud and return to Cybertron; Mirage took part in the battle that followed, which concluded with the Autobots escaping underground. {{storylink|Break Through}}

At some point in time, both Mirage and a digital duplicate of his "Tidal Wave" body were among the Decepticons who hacked into an Autobot virtual training program that took the form of a tag-team fighting tournament. They lost their very first match against Hot Shot and Rodimus, but stuck around to watch Superion Maximus get thrashed by Bruticus Maximus and Constructicon Maximus later in the tournament. {{storylink|Distribution}}

Mirage, Demolishor, and Snow Cat followed Rad and [[Brian Jones|Dr. Jones]] to the energon core, having been misdirected by Starscream into thinking this was the location of the Super Energon pool. Dr. Jones led Snow Cat and Demolishor off to find the actual pool, leaving Mirage to guard Rad. {{storylink|The Omega Train}} After a while, [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] and Kicker arrived on a rescue mission. Arcee fired an [[energon star]] at [[Primus]], temporarily re-energising the deity and causing it to drive Mirage out. {{storylink|Ironhide Team}} Mirage then rejoined the Decepticons to shoot Autobots on the surface. The Decepticons turned to the business of using the energon towers to move Cybertron through space, through the rift back to Alpha Q's realm. Mirage helped battle the Autobots as the planet moved through the rift, and later tried to defend the towers against Autobot attack. Both efforts were undermined by Six Shot's pettiness and insubordination, and Cybertron was brought to a halt. {{storylink|Formidable}}

Following this battle, the Decepticons retreated and Mirage, along with Demolishor and Snow Cat, was assigned to guard the unreliable Six Shot. Having apparently become stupider since his upgrade, Mirage and friends took seriously Six Shot's suggestion that they go and claim some super energon for themselves, and so they ran off and let their prisoner escape.

Six Shot managed to trap them and they were once again rescued by Starscream. The four blasted their way into the control room, only to find Six Shot was long gone. Then, thanks to [[Sally Jones|Sally]] who had since infiltrated the Decepticons' control room, the Autobots arrived to take control of the Decepticon base. Mirage despaired at how Galvatron had left them to their own devices in a distinctly soap operatic manner. {{storylink|Galvatron Terror}} He was impressed when Galvatron became a giant after immersing himself for a second time in the super energon pool. Mirage helped his fellow Decepticons make war against the Autobots even as the now Unicron-sized Galvatron took to space, fluttering about like skirmishing insects around the colossus. {{storylink|Destructive Power}}

Mirage was left unable to contribute further to the conflict when Optimus channeled Unicron's essence to grow in size and match Galvatron in stature. As the two titans crashed down on Jungle Planet, Mirage tried to step in anyways, only to be stopped by Starscream, who assured him his leader wouldn't want them to interfere even if they could. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}} When Galvatron flung himself into the energon sun to destroy Unicron's spark, ''Mirage loyally followed after him and seemingly ended his life''. {{storylink|The Sun}}

{{note|In Japan, after becoming Mirage, Tidal Wave became straight-up Gay For Galvatron. The dub dodged the issue as best it could (although honestly, that was probably more due to the fact that the English writers didn't seem to know what was going on in the show at the best of times), with Mirage's love-struck remarks being replaced with simple cheering for his leader or something else entirely—but it couldn't do anything about his repeated coquetteish gestures, doe-eyed expressions, or that one time he pirouetted and struck a pose while surrounded by a glowing pink heart. Maybe Tidal Wave couldn't properly articulate his love in his Armada form?}}

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' continuity===
====''Armada'' comic====
Tidal Wave was among the Decepticon troops allied with the Autobots and Mini-Cons during the battle against Unicron. He clutched his head in agony when the Chaos Bringer appeared and declared that this reality would be consumed. {{storylink|The End}}

====''Energon'' comic====
Millions of years ago, Tidal Wave captured [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] and coerced him into building [[seismic-shock warhead]]s for the Decepticons, which Megatron would use as a last resort to destroy the planet should he lose the war. Whenever Ironhide refused, an Autobot prisoner of war was executed. {{storylink|Aftershock (issue)|Aftershock}}

Ten years after the defeat of Unicron, Tidal Wave felt ill-at-ease during peacetime, and was recruited by [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] into joining the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]]. Starscream came upon the group and openly mocked them during a cathartic exercise, wherein they unloaded their weaponry into the open. Tidal Wave and Scorponok sent Starscream tumbling into a ore processor to be crushed, though Tidal Wave's leg was injured in the process. The other Terrorcons brought him before their master, and Tidal Wave met with Alpha Quintesson for the first time. His benefactor healed his wounds and granted him an upgraded "hyper-mode," boosting his offensive capabilities. The Terrorcons were then dispatched to Earth, in order to retrieve the energon that lay there, and revive Unicron. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}}

On Earth, the Terrorcons attacked an [[Alterenergy]] excavation/drilling operation site. Tidal Wave and Insecticon began setting up Energon siphons when the humans retaliated by sending several fighter jets their way. To Tidal Wave's chagrin, the other Terrorcons got to destroy them all while he prepped their equipment. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath}} Once that distraction had been dealt with, Scorponok made it known that he planned to gather Energon for himself, and only deliver his table scraps to Unicron. Though Tidal Wave disagreed with short-changing their master, he was too intimidated by Scorponok to speak up about it. He later alerted Scorponok to the return of Battle Ravage, who had caught the humans [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]] and [[Alexis Thi Dang|Alexis]] while on a hunt. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Two}} Scorponok took immediate interest in Kicker Jones, as his analysis of the boy indicated that he could detect Energon from afar. Tidal Wave doubted that Kicker was anything special, but Scorponok reminded him that he wasn't on his team to think. Optimus Prime and his Autobots then traveled to Earth to battle the Terrorcons. Tidal Wave and his compatriots powered themselves with pure Energon before the battle, giving them an extra edge. Though the Terrorcons easily outclassed their opponents, they stopped short of destroying them when one of their Energon siphons was destroyed; Scorponok ordered his soldiers to retreat, so they could salvage as much Energon as possible. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Three}}

After coercing Kicker to find them another Energon vein, Scorponok left Tidal Wave behind to guard the siphons while he dealt with the Autobots. Hot Shot managed to get passed the other Terrorcons, and rescued Kicker alongside [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]] and [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]]. The Autobots then fled, leaving Tidal Wave with the Energon canisters... which contained impure and highly volatile Energon. The stockpile detonated, and Tidal Wave was later forcibly retrieved from Earth so that Alpha Quintesson could discipline him for his failure. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Four}}

Tidal Wave attacked Ironhide and [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] while they were overseeing the construction of a new base on Cybertron. Using Cliffjumper's life as leverage, he forced Ironhide to reactivate the seismic-shock warheads for Scorponok's scheme to use on Earth. Ironhide foiled Tidal Wave when he armed the doomsday weapon, with the cold threat of destroying Cybertron rather than allowing the Decepticons destroy Earth. Tidal Wave panicked and left through a space bridge. {{storylink|Aftershock (issue)|Aftershock}}

While the other Decepticons and Terrorcons thought little of Tidal Wave, [[Alpha Quintesson]], however, saw something in him, and reformatted him into Mirage, noting as he did so that Scorponok had fallen out of [[Unicron]]'s favor. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} Mirage, Slugslinger, and Sharkticon then tracked down Kicker and the Omnicons to the shores of the Black Sea and attacked, intent on once more capturing the energon-detecting boy. {{storylink|Multiplicity}} Mirage dominated the Omnicons on the battlefield, easily beating down both Skyblast and Arcee simultaneously while his acolytes took care of the other enemy 'bots. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} Mirage believed his victory was assured. As he readied to finish off Strongarm, Sharkticon rose up from the nearby body of water... and went belly up. Kicker burst forth from the aquatic Decepticon, charged with incredible power from the subterranean energon well beneath them. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}} As Alpha Quintesson had instructed him to capture Kicker alive, Mirage was at a loss as to how he should handle this unexpected turn of events. While he hesitated, Kicker used his energon-manipulating ablilities to revive the Omnicons to full strength. Now suddenly outgunned, Mirage and Slugslinger fled, leaving Sharkticon to fend for himself. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 4}}

{{Unreleased energon comic}}
Mirage fell in with Megatron after the Decepticon leader was resurrected, but was of the opinion that Megatron had "lost his edge." He shared his thoughts on the matter with [[Shockblast]], and though the other Decepticon rebuked him, he secretly agreed with Mirage. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 2}}

[[File:Tidalwave pushup.gif|left|thumb|Megatron might be a jerk, but he cares for his troops' physical fitness.]]
Tidal Wave, in his combined battleship mode, was stationed as a relay and refuel point off a small chain of islands in the Mid-Atlantic. The [[Autobot]]s made their way inside him to take out the [[Decepticlone]] platoons inside and destroy him, but discovered that Tidal Wave wasn't merely a transport. They escaped just in time to avoid being crushed as Tidal Wave transformed into his titanic robot mode.

Tidal Wave walked around the island chain in the deep waters, unloading volleys of missiles, lasers, and the occasional [[Jet Laser]] on the tiny-by-comparison Autobots. Despite his impressive size, firepower, and nigh-impenetrable armor, the Autobots managed to do enough damage to Tidal Wave's one weak point—his face—to cause a chain reaction that caused multiple explosions inside him, sending him falling face-first to the ocean floor.

The Autobots were able to extract information from Tidal Wave's computer that the Decepticons' main base was located in Northern Alaska, but the information was planted there by Megatron to lead the Autobots into a trap.

Tidal Wave was later seen still on Earth and has survived from his battle with the Autobots, but is now taking exercises with the survived [[Decepticlone]] army. {{storylink|Transformers (PS2)|Transformers}}

==Toys==
===Armada===
[[File:Armada Tidal Wave toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"TCS Tiger's Claw, Transform!" (''Armada Version Pictured'')]]
[[File:Micron Shockwave toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|thumb|Alleged Decepticon Military Genius. (''Micron Densetsu version pictured'')]]
*'''Tidal Wave with Ramjet''' (Giga-Con, 2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-06'''
**''Accessories:'' Ramjet Mini-Con partner, 2 missiles

: Tidal Wave is a robot that is made up of three different aquatic vehicles, collectively called the "Dark Fleet"; an aircraft carrier, a Cybertronic double-bowed battleship, and a troop-landing craft. All three can combine to form a single gigantic warship, which from there can transform to robot mode ''without'' having to separate. Each smaller craft has its own gimmick; the carrier has a working storage elevator for Tidal Wave's [[Mini-Con]] partner [[Ramjet (Armada)|Ramjet]], the battleship has Mini-Con [[Powerlinx]]-activated swiveling cannons (also usable in robot mode), and the landing craft opens up to reveal seats for Mini-Cons to sit on.

: Tidal Wave can also combine with Megatron (and the Galvatron redeco), with Tidal Wave's aircraft carrier and battleship clipping onto Megatron's arms and his troop transport clipping onto Megatron's back (after the turret has been positioned in Full Blast Mode configuration) as a jetpack. His arms, as their plugs are identical to Leobreaker's, can also be attached to the later ''Cybertron'' Megatron toy, using the same ports that allow for Dark Claw Mode. These arms can also be attached to the Leader class Optimus Prime toy. Conversely, one may connect any character or characters using the Leobreaker mold to Tidal Wave in lieu of one or both of his arms.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] and [[Hasbro]] versions are considerably different. Takara's "Shockwave" replaces all the green plastic with purple, uses darker grays, and has several of the paint colors altered. These differences were made to [[show-accuracy|align the toy more closely to the cartoon's appearance]], though they're not completely accurate. Hasbro's original color scheme for Tidal Wave was supposed to match the animation more closely, but the Hasbro design team thought there was already too much purple between the Decepticons on the store shelves at the time, thus they changed some of Tidal Wave's colors around.

===Energon===
[[File:Energon Tidal Wave toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Tidal Wave...Tidal Wave...Tidal Wave...]]
*'''Tidal Wave with Ramjet''' (Ultra, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-04'''
**''Accessories:'' Ramjet Mini-Con partner, 2 missiles

:Tidal Wave's ''Armada'' toy was [[redeco]]ed for the early part of ''Energon'', with "energy" patterns resembling stylized lightning bolts painted across it. Several portions of his body were also cast in transparent green plastic. This was the result of his body being infused with Decepticon-energy [[energon]], as in the series, he did not have his lightning "scars" until after he touched (and was injured) by raw energon.

:The toy has also been very slightly retooled—the notches on the inside of his body that were originally designed to prevent the missiles from firing by giving the triggers a place to rest have been made larger so they now actually fulfill their original purpose.

:The Takara version has a silver painted forehead in robot mode to show more cartoon accuracy where the Hasbro has golden painted forehead as same as the boxart

:Tidal Wave retains his ability to combine with ''Armada'' Megatron/Galvatron, as well as ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Megazarak (Universe)|Megazarak]].

[[File:Energon Mirage toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Mirage''' (Mega, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-15'''
**''Accessories:'' 4 missiles
: Mirage is an upgraded body for Tidal Wave, transforming into a sleek assault speedboat with multiple spring-loaded missile launchers as well as fold-out wings for his "Hyper Mode". As something of a [[shellformer]], Mirage's transformation sequence is one of the most complex for the ''Energon'' toy line and as a side effect, he ends up with some obnoxiously large [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] shell [[kibble]]. Some bad design and excessively tight knee joints means his lower legs will often detach from the upper thighs whenever one tries to bend his knees.

:The initial release of Mirage was one-per-case, and was part of a wave that saw limited distribution due to [[Shelfwarmer|a glut of early product on the shelves]]. However, Mirage was later put into "Mega-Buy" multi-packs at a buy-one-get-one-free price at numerous chains, including Toys 'R' Us and Wal-Mart, relieving much of the demand for the item.

: This mold was also [[redeco]]ed into ''Energon'' [[Dreadwing (Energon)|Dreadwing]] and [[BotCon 2009]] [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]].

===Generations===
{{main|Tidal Wave (G1)#Generations}}

==Notes==
[[File:TidalwaveMouthplate.jpg|thumb|right]]
*While Tidal Wave's use of his own name as a battle cry is a trait shared in both versions of the ''Armada'' cartoon, his vocabilary is much more rich in the dub, mostly speaking in simple-minded short sentences. In ''Micron Legend'', his title is "Strong-arm admiral Shockwave", with his dialog mostly consisting of repeating his name or the word "Strong-arm", saying "Combine" when combining with Megatron, or chanting "Shock, Shock, Shock waaaaaaave", a trait he carries over into ''Super Link''. When he upgrades to Mirage ("Shockfleet" in Japan), his battle cry becomes "ShockShockShock!"
*In the English dub of the ''Armada'' cartoon, Tidal Wave is referred to by his Japanese name, Shockwave, several times. Of course, the English dub was notorious for [[Sparkplug (Armada)|not]] [[High Wire (Armada)|keeping]] [[Sureshock (Armada)|names]] [[Grindor (Armada)|straight]].
*In the animated series, the big frowny expression and chin guard on Tidal Wave's toy is sometimes misinterpreted as a mouthplate. This alternate mouthplate design went on to be used by Tidal Wave's 3D model in the ''Energon'' cartoon.
*Tidal Wave's [[:file:ArmadaTidalShockwave.jpg|Cybertronian mode]] is directly based on Generation 1 [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s alternate mode.
*An easter egg on the PlayStation 2 ''Transformers'' game is that, when he's in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], you can enter a cavity where his robot mode head is stored. You can walk all over it and a glitch enables you to walk inside his head. He doesn't seem to mind.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8hcHAW3YiY Gameplay video showing the Tidal Wave's head Easter egg.]</ref>
[[File:MirageEnergon-card.jpg|thumb|right|I have something else in common with [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]], [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|eh?]]]]
*Mirage may have been originally intended as a separate character. [[Hasbro]] appears to have implied this is the case, saying that designing the toys before the show was completed led to "some characters not aligning together in the animation and toy expressions".<ref>[[Hasbro Q&A/August 2009: Answers]]</ref> No wonder his Japanese name is Shockwave.
*''[[Transformers Vault]]'' mistakenly calls him '''Tidalwave''', lacking the spacing.
*Like all non-toy [[Kreon]]s, Tidal Wave is made up of existing parts, in his case using the [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Ironhide]] helmet, as well as using legs in place of his arms, with hand pieces inserted into the feet.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Shockwave''' (ショックウェーブ ''Shokkuwēbu''), '''Shockfleet''' (Mirage, ショックフリート ''Shokkufurīto'')

==Side Missions==
===Legends of Cybertron===
'''Rulers of Kaon'''
*'''Boss''': Megatron (Around 100,000)
**'''Notable Enemies''': Mixmaster, Mirage.
An EXTREMELY and tough special mission that '''''boasts''''' unfair and unbalanced. All the enemies faced here are cranked up to eleven stat wise. Extremely high ranking bots, and extreme precision and skill is required to beat this extremely tough side mission.

It is recommended to bring in Maxed 4 star bots (Forge level, and Bot level) into this fight with very powerful synergies.

'''Revenge Of The King'''
*'''Boss: Grimlock (???)''' (It's helpful to note no one has gotten too far into Revenge of the King yet.)
**'''Notable Enemies: ???'''
And you thought Megatron was bad? This is another EXTREMELY tough special mission (recommended for people near the end game) that also '''''boasts''''' an extremely tough difficulty. The difference here being that it takes Rulers Of Kaon, and flips it on it's head difficulty wise. Did we also mention that most of the bots here are 5 Stars in-between the 100,000's? It is '''VERY HIGHLY''' recommended to not only bring in Maxed out 4 star bots, but also bring in a few Maxed 5 star bots (If you have any) and said bots also should have extremely powerful synergies and Abilities, because you'll '''REALLY''' need it.

====Very Helpful Notes about Legends Of Cybertron:====
** You will want '''''LOTS''''' of practice in the arena. This mission demands it.
**[https://forums.transformersforgedtofight.com/discussion/4327/rulers-of-kaon-guide| There is a guide to help you fight through Rulers Of Kaon. It is highly recommended to look at this for helpful tips before starting.] No guide for Revenge Of The King exists yet.
** You will want something to snack on, because Legends of Cybertron is ''VERY'' long and ardous to complete. On average, each enemy alone takes a couple minutes to beat depending.
** Have a swear jar at the ready. These two missions are very good practice for not swearing.
** Of the two bosses that stand out in ROK, Mixmaster is the most well behaved. We mean it.

==Spotlight Missions==
Spotlight Missions are limited-time story missions that focus on the game's newest characters. Typically lasting about a month, fully completing these missions will reward the player with character-based chips to go toward purchasing that month's character in the Store, in addition to the standard Gold, XP and Ore-13.

===A Question of Loyalty===
Drift is questioned about his loyalties to the Autobot cause, while Hot Rod arrives, albeit under the influence of Dark Energon.

#'''Once A Decepticon'''
#*Boss: Barricade
#'''Gone AWOL'''
#*Boss: Mixmaster
#'''Autobot Traitors'''
#*Boss: Drift
#'''Uncharted Territories'''
#*Boss: Ironhide
#'''Brothers in Arms'''
#*Boss: Bumblebee (DOTM)
#'''Bring Him Home'''
#*Boss: Hot Rod

===Size Matters===
As the Autobots finally come close to Megatron, Grimlock starts going haywire about how he would be better at taking Megatron down. When Megatron is defeated, Grimlock is now "intelligent" and is convincing other bots to fight Optimus and you.

===This Is Going To Sting===
A new signal is detected on New Quintessa, which turns out to be Scorponok. But he's not exactly coherent — he can't quite remember who he is or why he's here, but knows that he needs to find (a) Megatron. While Scorponok runs into Waspinator and confuses Grimlock and Dinobot for each other, the Maximals head out to either help or subdue him. But the Predacon is slowly starting to piece things together...

Also, Waspinator is one of the most lonely 'bots ''ever''.

==Gameplay==
Gameplay is similar to ''[http://marvel.com/games/170/marvel_contest_of_champions| Marvel Contest of Champions]'', also made by Kabam.

*Right Tap: Light attack or Shoot when far away
*Right Swipe: Medium attack or Dash forward when far away
*Right Hold: Heavy attack - Transform into alt mode and break through an opponent's block
*Left Swipe: Dash backward
*Left Hold: Block - reduce incoming damage
*Left Up/Down: Sidestep up/down

When a bot lands and receives enough hits, a Special Attack becomes ready to be used. Higher ranked bots can have their Power further charged for a Special 2 or 3 for epic damage combos! Only one bot can use a special attack at once though! So plan and block or dodge accordingly!

;Characters and Mods

;Forging

==Classes==
[[File:Classes-Forged-to-Fight.jpg|thumb|Clockwise from top right: Warrior, Scout, Tech, Demolitions, Tactician, Brawler]]
Each Bot falls into one of six classes. Each class listed gains an attack bonus over the class below it, and has a disadvantage against the class above it.

*'''Scouts''' quickly eliminate opponents with frequent Special Attacks and a high Critical Rate. Their rapid attacks give them an advantage over Tech bots.
*'''Tech''' Bots generate shields, manipulate Power, and equip some of the most advanced custom weaponry. Their shielding abilities help them when facing Demolitions bots.
*'''Demolitions''' Bots are burst damage experts that buff their Special Attacks for bigger, bolder, explosions. Their fewer attacks give them an advantage over Tactician bots.
*'''Tacticians'''' strong synergies and master strategies help them adapt during a fight to turn their enemies' strengths against them. Their anti-Armor abilities help them when facing Brawler bots.
*'''Brawlers''' are armored allies and furious foes that value strength at any cost. Their low Critical Rate and high attacks give them an advantage over Warrior bots.
*'''Warriors''' have deadly accuracy and love bleeding Energon from their opponents. Their tracking systems give them an advantage over the evasive Scout bots.

==Notes==
*Forged to Fight is an '''extremely''' referential game. Just about everything, from story dialogue to Bot Synergies to the actual combat moves themselves, is a callback to ''something'' from Transformers history. We've noted the more significant ones here but, seriously, we could write an entire article on the number of references alone.
* Generation 1 and Movie characters are clearly differentiated with their proper classic and movieverse insignias and transformation sounds.
* Though the game is set on New Quintessa, the actual fights take place in various environments, which are [[Egypt]], [[Chicago]], [[Hong Kong]], [[London]], and the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]].
* Bonecrusher is labeled as ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bonecrusher, despite the fact that he was not in [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|said film]]. There ''was'' a [[Buffalo MPV Decepticon|bot with Bonecrusher's appearence]], but there's no confirmation the two were intended to be the same character.
*The "Forged to Lead" and "Forged to Serve" Synergy Bonuses reference Megatron's team in the first movie, although with Grindor in place of Blackout.
*Shockwave's first special ability is named after [[Shockblast]].
* Galvatron’s first and third special attacks are a reference to ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. The first special attack is from Galvatron flying to his ship, and the third special attack is a reference to his killing of [[Starscream (G1)#Transformers:G1|Starscream]]).
* The Chapter title "Fight The Power" and the dialogue contained in both "Party Getting Started" and "Fight The Power!" could be references to the anime ''{{w|Gurren Lagann}}''.
*In “Enter the Horns”, specifically the mission “Bull Scrap”, Jazz says that Tantrum looks like the mascot of a basketball team on Earth, a likely reference to the {{W|Chicago Bulls}}
*In one of the game's more... ''interesting'' references, the mission entitled "Guess Who's Back?" has Jazz appropriately paraphrase the (in)famous opening of {{w|Eminem}}'s 2002 hit "{{w|Without Me}}" (and by extension, his later song "{{w|Just Lose It}}").
*Cyclonus's regular gun is modeled after [[Nightstick (G1)|Nightstick]], specifically his [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe '08]] toy.

===Foreign names===
*''Italian:'' '''''Transformers: Combattenti''''' ("Transformers: Fighters")
*''Japanese'' '''''トランスフォーマー鋼鉄の戦士たち''''' ("Transformers steel warriors ")
*''Mandarin:'' '''''变形金刚：百炼为战''''' ("Transformers: forge 100 times to fight")

But passing through the [[Eshems Nebula]], they encounter a spatial warp field and the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] crash-lands on an [[New Quintessa|unknown planet]]. After encountering [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], a strange new [[Grindor (ROTF)|Decepticon]], and a corrupted [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Autobot]] from another [[live-action film series|reality]], Optimus entrusts the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to the [[You|Commander]].

==Side Missions==
===Legends of Cybertron===
'''Rulers of Kaon'''
*'''Boss''': Megatron (Around 100,000)
**'''Notable Enemies''': Mixmaster, Mirage.
An EXTREMELY and tough special mission that '''''boasts''''' unfair and unbalanced. All the enemies faced here are cranked up to eleven stat wise. Extremely high ranking bots, and extreme precision and skill is required to beat this extremely tough side mission.

It is recommended to bring in Maxed 4 star bots (Forge level, and Bot level) into this fight with very powerful synergies.

'''Revenge Of The King'''
*'''Boss: Grimlock (???)''' (It's helpful to note no one has gotten too far into Revenge of the King yet.)
**'''Notable Enemies: ???'''
And you thought Megatron was bad? This is another EXTREMELY tough special mission (recommended for people near the end game) that also '''''boasts''''' an extremely tough difficulty. The difference here being that it takes Rulers Of Kaon, and flips it on it's head difficulty wise. Did we also mention that most of the bots here are 5 Stars in-between the 100,000's? It is '''VERY HIGHLY''' recommended to not only bring in Maxed out 4 star bots, but also bring in a few Maxed 5 star bots (If you have any) and said bots also should have extremely powerful synergies and Abilities, because you'll '''REALLY''' need it.

====Very Helpful Notes about Legends Of Cybertron:====
** You will want '''''LOTS''''' of practice in the arena. This mission demands it.
**[https://forums.transformersforgedtofight.com/discussion/4327/rulers-of-kaon-guide| There is a guide to help you fight through Rulers Of Kaon. It is highly recommended to look at this for helpful tips before starting.] No guide for Revenge Of The King exists yet.
** You will want something to snack on, because Legends of Cybertron is ''VERY'' long and ardous to complete. On average, each enemy alone takes a couple minutes to beat depending.
** Have a swear jar at the ready. These two missions are very good practice for not swearing.
** Of the two bosses that stand out in ROK, Mixmaster is the most well behaved. We mean it.

==Spotlight Missions==
Spotlight Missions are limited-time story missions that focus on the game's newest characters. Typically lasting about a month, fully completing these missions will reward the player with character-based chips to go toward purchasing that month's character in the Store, in addition to the standard Gold, XP and Ore-13.

===A Question of Loyalty===
Drift is questioned about his loyalties to the Autobot cause, while Hot Rod arrives, albeit under the influence of Dark Energon.

#*Boss: Mixmaster

#'''Bring Him Home'''
#*Boss: Hot Rod

===Size Matters===
As the Autobots finally come close to Megatron, Grimlock starts going haywire about how he would be better at taking Megatron down. When Megatron is defeated, Grimlock is now "intelligent" and is convincing other bots to fight Optimus and you.

#'''Something Bigger'''

#'''Big Head'''
#*Boss: Motormaster

#*Boss: Megatron (ROTF)

===Shocking Revelation===
Shockwave is making a weapon that could turn the tide on the Autobots. Soundwave reports to Shockwave that he has seen the traitor Starscream flying around the area.

It's a race on New Quintessa for the Golden Disk! Dinobot hunts for the artifact so he can destroy it before it falls into the wrong hands. Rhinox takes off trying to help Dinobot. Waspinator tries to steal the disk for himself. Grimlock is confused by Dinobot's name. We're all confused when the "stone shattered disk" has [[Golden Disk (Vok)|Alien disk]] markings on one side and [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Voyager disk]] markings on the other.

===Emergence===
Cyclonus emerges on New Quintessa and reunites with his master, Galvatron, after a (very) brief stint with Starscream. But Galvatron's insanity pushes Cyclonus to the brink, and he decides it would be prudent to ally with someone else...

#'''Friends?'''

===Grave Consequences===
Megatronus has made his presence known, and is collecting relics to bolster his power. When Optimus and Ultra Magnus (and Megatron, oddly) go missing, a search party sets out to find them, but lose their faculties to Megatronus's corrupting signal, until only Arcee and the Commander are left. Faced with the power of a Prime... can they hope to win?

#'''Place of Shadows'''

===This Is Going To Sting===
A new signal is detected on New Quintessa, which turns out to be Scorponok. But he's not exactly coherent — he can't quite remember who he is or why he's here, but knows that he needs to find (a) Megatron. While Scorponok runs into Waspinator and confuses Grimlock and Dinobot for each other, the Maximals head out to either help or subdue him. But the Predacon is slowly starting to piece things together...

Also, Waspinator is one of the most lonely 'bots ''ever''.

#'''Bug Bytes'''

#'''The Traitor'''

#'''Lead or Be Led'''
#*Boss: Scorponok

==Gameplay==
Gameplay is similar to ''[http://marvel.com/games/170/marvel_contest_of_champions| Marvel Contest of Champions]'', also made by Kabam.

*Right Tap: Light attack or Shoot when far away
*Right Swipe: Medium attack or Dash forward when far away
*Right Hold: Heavy attack - Transform into alt mode and break through an opponent's block
*Left Swipe: Dash backward
*Left Hold: Block - reduce incoming damage
*Left Up/Down: Sidestep up/down

When a bot lands and receives enough hits, a Special Attack becomes ready to be used. Higher ranked bots can have their Power further charged for a Special 2 or 3 for epic damage combos! Only one bot can use a special attack at once though! So plan and block or dodge accordingly!

;Characters and Mods

;Forging

==Classes==
[[File:Classes-Forged-to-Fight.jpg|thumb|Clockwise from top right: Warrior, Scout, Tech, Demolitions, Tactician, Brawler]]
Each Bot falls into one of six classes. Each class listed gains an attack bonus over the class below it, and has a disadvantage against the class above it.

*'''Scouts''' quickly eliminate opponents with frequent Special Attacks and a high Critical Rate. Their rapid attacks give them an advantage over Tech bots.
*'''Tech''' Bots generate shields, manipulate Power, and equip some of the most advanced custom weaponry. Their shielding abilities help them when facing Demolitions bots.
*'''Demolitions''' Bots are burst damage experts that buff their Special Attacks for bigger, bolder, explosions. Their fewer attacks give them an advantage over Tactician bots.
*'''Tacticians'''' strong synergies and master strategies help them adapt during a fight to turn their enemies' strengths against them. Their anti-Armor abilities help them when facing Brawler bots.
*'''Brawlers''' are armored allies and furious foes that value strength at any cost. Their low Critical Rate and high attacks give them an advantage over Warrior bots.
*'''Warriors''' have deadly accuracy and love bleeding Energon from their opponents. Their tracking systems give them an advantage over the evasive Scout bots.

==Mods==
{{main|Module}}

==Base==
At the Commander's base, you can assign Bots and Mods to the seven nodes on your base to defend it, and generate Gold over time. The higher the star rating and rank of the bot, the more Gold is generated over a longer time.

There are also these main structures in a base:
*'''Crystal Extractors''' - Claim 4-hour Crystals and Daily Crystals from these extractors.
*'''Alliance HQ''' (level 5) - Help other Alliance players with help requests to earn <s>Loyalty points</s> Gold.
*'''Battle Center''' (level 7) - View other commanders' attempts to raid your base, and enact revenge within 24 hours.
*'''Mobile Command''' (Level 10) - Send bots on Away Missions for a small Gold fee to earn decent amounts of currencies.

===Relics===
Relics give a permanent boost when placed on your base, each found through specific tasks.

*[[Immobilizer]] - Was obtained as a possible prize from an Alliance Crystal or Shattered Lands Crystal, but has since been removed.
*[[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]] - Was obtainable in the Raid Store at some point in the game for 2,000,000 Raid Chips. It gives +5% XP in Story Missions.

Crystals are used in the Space Bridge to win various prizes, which are presented on a scrolling roulette. Although you can stop the wheel early, it does not affect the outcome, as the prize is determined soon after a crystal is activated. Any duplicate Bots and Mods are converted into Class Ore-13 and Gold.

==Notes==
*Forged to Fight is an '''extremely''' referential game. Just about everything, from story dialogue to Bot Synergies to the actual combat moves themselves, is a callback to ''something'' from Transformers history. We've noted the more significant ones here but, seriously, we could write an entire article on the number of references alone.
* Generation 1 and Movie characters are clearly differentiated with their proper classic and movieverse insignias and transformation sounds.
* Though the game is set on New Quintessa, the actual fights take place in various environments, which are [[Egypt]], [[Chicago]], [[Hong Kong]], [[London]], and the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]].
* Bonecrusher is labeled as ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bonecrusher, despite the fact that he was not in [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|said film]]. There ''was'' a [[Buffalo MPV Decepticon|bot with Bonecrusher's appearence]], but there's no confirmation the two were intended to be the same character.
*The "Forged to Lead" and "Forged to Serve" Synergy Bonuses reference Megatron's team in the first movie, although with Grindor in place of Blackout.
*Shockwave's first special ability is named after [[Shockblast]].
* Galvatron’s first and third special attacks are a reference to ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. The first special attack is from Galvatron flying to his ship, and the third special attack is a reference to his killing of [[Starscream (G1)#Transformers:G1|Starscream]]).
* The Chapter title "Fight The Power" and the dialogue contained in both "Party Getting Started" and "Fight The Power!" could be references to the anime ''{{w|Gurren Lagann}}''.
*In “Enter the Horns”, specifically the mission “Bull Scrap”, Jazz says that Tantrum looks like the mascot of a basketball team on Earth, a likely reference to the {{W|Chicago Bulls}}
*In one of the game's more... ''interesting'' references, the mission entitled "Guess Who's Back?" has Jazz appropriately paraphrase the (in)famous opening of {{w|Eminem}}'s 2002 hit "{{w|Without Me}}" (and by extension, his later song "{{w|Just Lose It}}").
*Cyclonus's regular gun is modeled after [[Nightstick (G1)|Nightstick]], specifically his [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe '08]] toy.

===Foreign names===
*''Italian:'' '''''Transformers: Combattenti''''' ("Transformers: Fighters")
*''Japanese'' '''''トランスフォーマー鋼鉄の戦士たち''''' ("Transformers steel warriors ")
*''Mandarin:'' '''''变形金刚：百炼为战''''' ("Transformers: forge 100 times to fight")

[[File:Spotlight Blaster cvrRI.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|What's their hurry? The band is playing [[The Touch]], so it must be something important.]]
The '''Autobot Mini-Cassettes''' (also known as '''Recordabots''') are [[Autobot]]s who, on [[Earth]], transform into analog audio cassettes. They can fit into [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]'s chest compartment, though their apparent relationship to Blaster varies depending on continuity.

Their counterparts amongst the [[Decepticon]]s are the [[Decepticon Mini-Cassette]]s.

====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
[[File:SteeljawRamhornCallPrimitives.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.65|He who fights and fights again lives to run away another day.]]
During the attack on [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], Blaster attempted to radio Prime for reinforcements on [[Moonbase One]]. [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] detected the transmission and sent his Cassettes to prevent the broadcast. Once [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and the others breached the communications tower, Blaster ejected Ramhorn, Steeljaw, Rewind and Eject to match the Decepticon punks ''mano a mano''. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

After [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] detected chronal energy emanating from an asteroid near Cybertron, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] sent a squad of Autobots with him to investigate, including Blaster with Ramhorn and Rewind. They encountered a [[Quintesson]] expedition and a school of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]]s, which Ramhorn relished in ramming repeatedly. During the fight, however, the Autobots accidentally passed through the Quintessons' [[Time Window]], arriving 11 million years in the past. They met [[Beta (G1)|Beta]], and took up arms in the original Cybertronian revolution against the Quintessons. They held the line against the [[Dark Guardian]]s long enough for the Autobots of 2006 to return the revolution's leader [[Alpha Trion (G1)|A-3]] from the future. As A-3 turned the [[Coder Remote]] on the Guardians, the Autobots returned to the present through the time window. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (episode)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

During a Decepticon outbreak in Europe, Ramhorn and Steeljaw fought alongside [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and the other Autobots against [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]'s forces. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}} Ramhorn and Steeljaw were among the Primitives called to stop [[Primacron]]'s latest experiment. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

{{noteukonly}}
[[File:ClubCon Raindance GrandSlam.JPG|left|upright=0.9|thumb]]
Hundreds of years ago, a troop of Autobot astronomers on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] detected the legendary [[Underbase]] making its way towards Earth. In order to alert their Autobot colleagues on that world, they encoded the information onto Raindance and Grand Slam. On their way to Earth, their ship was damaged and the two Autobots crashed into the sea. They were found locked in their cassette modes by a band of 18th century pirates, who stashed them away in a treasure chest just before a storm destroyed their ship, sinking it in the ocean.

In the present era, [[Decepticon Imperial Headquarters]] stumbled across this long-lost information and commanded [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s Decepticons on Earth to find the lost tapes. They moved their disguised desert island starship to the rough coordinates of the shipwreck and opened a [[Club Con]] vacation resort for fleshlings to disguise their true purposes there. The [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]] successfully retrieved Raindance and Grand Slam from the treasure chest, despite a brief altercation with [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]. {{storylink|Club Con!}} Ratbat and his communications expert [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] were able to learn from the cassettes that the Underbase was set to pass by Earth in less than a week's time. {{storylink|The Flames of Boltax!}} Their fate after that is unknown.

''Playback was a prisoner of the Decepticons on Cybertron. Along with [[Hosehead (G1)|Hosehead]] and [[Horsepower (G1)|Horsepower]], he was released into the wild on Earth to be hunted down by [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] as part of his initiation as a new Decepticon leader. He was the first of the trio Thunderwing tracked down and executed, leaving his corpse to rust on a shallow beach.'' {{storylink|The Big Shutdown!}}

====Marvel UK future timelines====
[[File:Arcee rewind steeljaw.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8]]
By [[2008]], Eject was stationed at Autobase on Cybertron, working communications for [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]].

Meanwhile, on Earth, the [[Quintesson]]s invaded [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], devastating most of the base's population. Rewind, Steeljaw, and Ramhorn were stationed there, but got trapped inside Blaster's chest when he was blasted off-line and hung on the ramparts. A quick-thinking [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] realized where they'd be and managed to free them. The Mini-Cassettes joined Hot Rod and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] in retaking Autobot City from the Quints. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}
{{-}}

====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic====
Steeljaw was part of a squad of Autobots dispatched to Earth when [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] learned [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] was still alive and active. He was killed in battle by Megatron's hyper-velocity rail gun, a deadly weapon created by [[Cobra]]. {{storylink|Final Transformations}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
During the [[Age of Internment]], Blaster and his Mini-Cassettes were allied with [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] and the remaining free Autobots against Megatron. Their twin goals were to bring down the legions of the [[Air Warrior|Aerospace Extermination Squadron]], and somehow locate the long-missing Optimus Prime. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}}

Millions of years later, the Mini-Cassettes joined Blaster as part of ''another'' rebellion, this time against [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and the corrupt Unified Cybertronian government. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}}

Steeljaw was so vigorously dedicated to his napping that he couldn't spare the energy to swat away the annoying Decepticon, [[Ravage (SG)|Ravage]]. {{storylink|Recordicons|Recordicons #1}} Steeljaw once asked Ravage why he thought they were friends. Ravage apparently misunderstood an old saying after hearing Steeljaw eviscerated [[Enemy (SG)|Enemy]]. {{storylink|Recordicons|Recordicons #4}}

:''Battletrap is a [[Decepticon]] [[Duocon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Battletrapboxart.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|The Cybertronian equivalent of a Wuzzle.]]
Of the two [[Duocon]]s, '''Battletrap''' is the sane one. In contrast to [[Flywheels]], whose two components are constantly bickering, Battletrap uses the two separate vehicles of his [[alternate mode]] in concert with each other. He likes to play with his target in the way a housecat might play with a rodent...that is, if said housecat happened to have a separate avian part of itself that could fly like a hummingbird.

Sometimes, Battletrap is the combined form of [[Battleslash]] and [[Roadtrap]].

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
Battletrap was a part of [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]'s army of Decepticons on Cybertron. Upon learning the co-ordinates of the planet [[Nebulos]] from [[Zarak (G1)|Lord Zarak]], requesting the Decepticons help in ridding the [[Autobot]]s from his world, Scorponok ordered his army to lay siege to the alien planet. Battletrap was seen in his helicopter mode as part of a battalion carrying Decepticons from their spacecraft to the surface of Nebulos, where he remained out of sight, away from the main events. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} Later, every Decepticon on the planet left Nebulos in pursuit of the Autobots to planet Earth. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

[[File:Uk202timewarsMayhems.JPG|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Battletrap isn't too proud to play dead when necessary.]]
[[File:Crankcase battletrap quake the void.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|"It takes a while to get all the dents out after being thrown against a wall, OK?"]]
''Some time later, Battletrap left Scorponok and returned to Cybertron for unknown reasons. On the bridge to [[Tyrest (polity)|Tyrest]], Battletrap and his [[Duocon]] partner [[Flywheels]] in their aerial modes along with other Decepticons engaged in a brief battle against [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and the [[Sparkabot]]s while on a regular patrol. The Duocons managed to avoid the Sparkabots fire and were able to knock them out in an explosion, incurring the wrath of Ultra Magnus. Battletrap was out of Ultra Magnus' reach but Flywheels was not so fortunate. Paranoid of the rumors of "the walking dead" in [[Kalis]], Battletrap abandoned Flywheels to the Autobots rather than daring to cross into that [[Polities of Cybertron|city-state]].'' {{storylink|City of Fear!}} ''Battletrap was later a member of the original [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] and took part in their joint mission with the [[Wrecker]]s to destroy [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] in the [[Time Wars]]. He was one of the first warriors to fall during the battle, his chest torn open by Galvatron before being smashed against a wall.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}

''Despite his apparent "death",'' Battletrap appeared with the gathered Autobots and Decepticons on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to hear the words of [[Primus]] through [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]] immediately before the arrival of [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Despite the heavy casualties suffered by both sides, he survived the subsequent battle and also narrowly escaped death at the hands of subterranean [[Demon|Cybertronian monsters]] shortly after, though his buddy [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]] wasn't so lucky. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

When Cybertron began shaking itself apart, Battletrap escaped the planet with the rest of the Decepticons under [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s command. Leaving their Autobot "allies" stranded, they went on to conquer the planet [[Klo]], massacring its [[Klozian|fleshy, pink-skinned inhabitants]]. {{storylink|The Last Autobot?}} When the Autobots finally caught up with them, the Decepticons mostly massacred them too, with only a few survivors escaping into the swamps. However their moment of victory was interrupted by the arrival of the [[Neo-Knights]], a newly resurrected [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Last Autobot]]. Battletrap joined the other Decepticons in dogpiling Prime but was caught off guard by the arrival of the other Autobot survivors and was run over by [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]]. Nevertheless, he survived the battle and retreated along with the other Decepticons when Bludgeon realised the day was lost. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}
{{-}}

=====Another Time & Place=====
Battletrap was part of the raid on [[Hydrus Four]] by Bludgeon and his army. After the Autobots arrived, he allegedly was about to shoot [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] in the back, but was shot down instead by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|Another Time & Place}}

{{note|The text piece described Sunstreaker as being menaced by "Battletrap in tank mode". Battletrap doesn't HAVE a tank mode. Maybe this is another clue that Battletrap and Flywheels' names were mixed up early on, but more likely it was supposed to be [[Quake (G1)|Quake]], another prominent member of Bludgeon's Decepticons.}}

====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic====
In the first battle between the two generations of Decepticons, Battletrap was badly wounded and had to be carried back to safety inside of the [[Warworld]]. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

====''Classics''====
{{noteclassics}}
Battletrap continued his service with Bludgeon's forces on into the 21st century. He was summoned by [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] to help with a waste disposal job after [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Grrr]] was branded a traitor and eliminated fighting [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]]. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

====''Regeneration One''====
{{noterg1}}
[[File:Neo-decepticons counterpoint.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|I've never been to Kalis before. Sounds like a nice place, I think.]]
Twenty-one years after the defeat at Klo, Battletrap joined up with [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s "Neo-Decepticon" insurgency at [[Fort Scyk]] in [[Polyhex]] and participated in a raid on the Kalis [[Baird Beaming Transmitter]], allowing Soundwave to take control of one of Cybertron's orbital defence satellites and destroy the [[Last Autobot]]. {{storylink|Counterpoint}} Later, he attacked one of Cybertron's communications facilities alongside [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]], [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] and [[Windsweeper]] to blind the Autobots to [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s approach. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Two}}

[[File:FinalShowdown2 Battletrap stomp.JPG|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Battletrap shows ''everyone'' his foot fungus.]]
Battletrap and Flywheels were under the command of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], who first sent them into battle when the Autobots and Decepticons were fighting over a [[Floppy disk|disk]] containing data on the [[Master Sword]]. After overwhelming the Autobot [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]s and playing a quick game of "catch", Battletrap got his hands on the disk and delivered it to Scorponok. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Scorponok used the data to create the [[Zarak Shield]], and when a group of Autobots came to investigate, the two Duocons joined the Decepticon Targetmasters in stopping them. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} The Decepticons were later led into a trap on the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], and Battletrap was caught up in the ensuing battle. He shot down the air fighter [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]'s friend [[Kirk]] was piloting. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}}

By order of Scorponok, the two Duocons later planted a bomb on [[Juno]], one powerful enough to destroy the entire asteroid. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}} Battletrap and Flywheels participated in the final battle against the Autobots in the [[Arctic]]. Battletrap got the drop on [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] and was about to stomp them to death when he was interrupted by the rogue [[Sixshot]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. When it looked like Scorponok's plan to destroy the [[Earth]] was going to be successful, the Duocons fled into space to watch the results from afar. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:Duocons from MtMtE -8.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|"It is only logical that there will be no side-effects from this whatsoever."]]
Battletrap and Flywheels were created by Shockwave as early prototypes for his [[Triple Changer]] fascination. Instead of achieving three alternating modes, however, they gained the ability to separate into two different alternate modes at once. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye#Issue #8|MTMTE #8}}
{{-}}

====''TransTech''====
When he was diagnosed with [[Machanimus Disjunctus]], Battletrap was upgraded into a Triple Changer to save his life. {{storylink|#Timelines|BotCon 2015 Battletrap bio card}} He managed to get himself stranded on [[Axiom Nexus]], and wound up with the number four spot on the "Cybertron's most wanted" list. His crimes were so numerous that he had trouble remembering them all. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}} In a [[public service announcement]] for the [[Axiom Nexus Security Administration|OZSA]], [[Axiom Nexus News]] reporter [[Rook (TransTech)|Rook]] questioned why Battletrap was number four on the list as none of the crimes on his long record (petty theft, graffiti, etc.) included specifically malicious ones. Rook further reported criminal profiler [[Torca (TransTech)|Torca]]'s (correct) analysis that Battletrap was a grunt for a boss and not a leader on his own. {{storylink|Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist|Rook - Axiom Nexus News, 2015/06/15}}

Battletrap found Axiom Nexus to be boring, but nonetheless found excitement in the Under City, where he fell in with fellow registries on the "most wanted list" [[Stepper (SG)|Stepper]], [[Nebulon (SG)|Nebulon]], and [[Megatron (Movie)#TransTech|C-81]]. Under C-81's leadership, the group planned to steal the parts for an inter-universal gate so as to run an off-the-books travel agency. On one of their raids, the group found themselves on the run from the OZSA, the chase leading them into [[Seeker-Shinai]], where the law caught up to them. They were locked up together in the Offworlder Maximum security prison, where Battletrap and his group met [[Oilmaster]] and [[Packrat]]. Thanks to these two new additions, the lot of them managed to escape prison and once more went on the run. On their way out, Battletrap fought his fair share of [[Blastcharge Strika Drone]]s.

[[File:BattletrapbattlesWaruders-CMW.jpg|thumb|right|upright=2.1|First we crack the shell, then we crack the bugs inside!]]
When Battletrap and the others finally made it outdoors, they found Axiom Nexus to be completely offline. Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, they headed for the city's underground tunnel network. There, they encountered [[Burn Out]], [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)|Lift-Ticket]], and [[Spy-Eye]], who all took off upon seeing them. Suspecting they might be off to report the prison escapees, Battletrap suggested they follow this new group while he restocked on weaponry from one of the crime group's stashes. Delving deeper underground, the group came the [[Waruder]]s. These new players proved considerably more hostile. Using his sword and gun, Battletrap discovered the Waruders' pilot/exo-suit nature. The group now knew how to dispatch the Waruders thanks to Battletrap, but they nonetheless found themselves overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Though they tried to run, Battletrap and the others eventually found themselves too battered to flee. It was at this time that both the strangers they had previously encountered and the law-enforcers [[Optimus Prime (G1)#General Optimus|General Optimus Prime]] and [[Hound (G1)#TransTech|Sergeant Hound]] met up with them. All three teams band together to fight against the Waruders. The Waruders eventually surrendered when C-81 offered them another Cybertron to feast upon instead of the local one. C-81's group built their inter-dimensional gate, and were allowed to go free in return for their part in thwarting the invasion.

Cybertron's most wanted were content with getting out of the adventure alive...all of them except Packrat, who still had felt compelled to pick-pocket one of the cops. Disgruntled by this last turn of events, Battletrap expressed interest in visiting one of the city's many pubs. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
When the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons ended, Battletrap appeared among the Decepticons who helped repopulate Cybertron with the Autobots and the [[NAIL]]s. After [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] returned from months in the wilds of Cybertron, Battletrap and the remaining Decepticons stood up to [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]] and the Autobot-led police as they tried to execute him. Rioting broke out in the streets as Battletrap and the Decepticons violently celebrated their leader's return. {{storylink|City on Fire}} Led by [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]], the rioting mob stormed the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] prison and freed Megatron. {{storylink|The Verge}}

Later, Battletrap found himself living in the Decepticon ghetto outside [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. He attacked the interlopers [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]], along with the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] and other disgruntled Decepticons, but they were sent packing by the arrival of [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]] and [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]]. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}}

:As a Duocon, Battletrap is a single robot which splits into two separate vehicles. When separated, the robot transforms into a simplified gray [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#AH-64 Apache copter|AH-64 Apache helicopter]] and a blue Ford F-150 camper truck. In [[robot mode]], he has a gray double-barreled cannon that mounts on his shoulder. The gray dual cannon can also be mounted on top of the truck or beneath the cockpit of the helicopter.

**''Accessories'': Double-barreled missile launcher, two missiles, rotor blades/"Night-Fire Blade"

:Battletrap is a blue and gray [[retool]] of ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' [[Springer (G1)#Voyager|Springer]], a Triple Changer who transforms into both an armored car and a helicopter. His helicopter rotors detach to transform into a sword that is held by his hands via [[5mm post]], and can store underneath his car mode. He also comes with a dual missile launcher that fires its two missiles in succession via a two-step pressure launch. The launcher features a jointed 5mm handle to allow it to pivot, and can mount underneath the helicopter cockpit. He has two 5mm ports on his back, the sword hilt has an additional post, and the launcher has additional ports at the top and bottom. Battletrap also has a new head.

:The original version of this mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Cloud|Hot Rodimus]], and extensively retooled into ''Thrilling 30'' [[Sandstorm (G1)#Voyager|Sandstorm]].

'''Flamesnort''' is the rare noble sort of [[Decepticon]]. He firmly and honestly believes that he is fighting for a gallant cause, and that the good of Decepticonism will inevitably triumph over the evils of the [[Autobot]]s, as long as he does his part to aid in the battle—even if it's been a thousand cycles since [[Megatron (WFC)|command]] last answered his communications.

And if he ''can't'' hold the line against [[Bumblebee (WFC)|the forces of darkness]], well, that's what the [[Seismic-shock warhead|planet-cracking bomb]] he's guarding is for.

{{voiceactor|[[Robin Atkin Downes]] (English)}}, TBA (Japanese)
During the war, Flamesnort was stationed on [[Earth]] along with a seismic-shock warhead he was charged with protecting. Time wore on and Flamesnort lost contact with Command, but continued to try and re-establish contact. The remote English island he was located on ensured he was not disturbed, until, that is, his transmissions were detected by [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] who came to investigate. Believing them to be the vanguard of an Autobot fleet, he attempted to extract information from them, but retreated when he was unable to defeat Bumblebee.

After attempting another report to Command, he tried a different tactic, surrounding a couple of humans in a ring of fire so he could again fight Bumblebee. He almost lost the control key for the warhead during the battle, and after the two humans escaped, Flamesnort instead opted to return to his cavern and activate the warhead. Fortunately for planet Earth, Bumblebee and Fixit were able to catch up with him and deactivate the weapon, defeating the Decepticon in the process. {{storylink|The Golden Knight}}

Flamesnort's statis pod was later taken aboard ''[[Prime Force One]]'' by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Drift (RID)|Drift]]. {{storylink|Moon Breaker}}

Blastwave was in pursuit of the rogue Autobot [[Nightra]], who stole his [[Light Bender]] and bounty hunter ID badge and fled to Earth. Following the fugitive, he encountered Bee's team, who believed that he was the criminal and Nightra was the bounty hunter. He fired upon Nightra, causing her to flee and for Bee's team to retaliate. Blastwave mopped the floor with them-using Grimlock as a weapon no less-and then went back to [[Blastwave's ship|his ship]]. He then tracked Strongarm and Bumblebee's signals as they looked for Nightra. He promptly opened a space bridge right next to them, grabbed Nightra, and left. He was placing Nightra in a containment unit when Bee's team came to stop him. Nightra escaped again and Blastwave was thrown in the cell meant for her. In the cell, Bee's team finally realized that Blastwave was an Autobot, who spoke to them using [[Cybertronian Sign Language]], setting the record straight. He was released and helped save Bee's team from being sucked out into the void of space. A captured Nightra was given to Blastwave by Strongarm as well as his badge and Light Bender. Blastwave was pleased. {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}}

*'''Blastwave''' (Deluxe, [[2016]])
**''Accessories'': Double-barreled blaster, sword

:Part of the 9th wave of the Warrior Class line, now sporting the "Combiner Force" subline logo, Blastwave transforms from a robot to a double-barreled tank of fictional origin. Blastwave is a heavy [[retool]] of the previous year's [[The Fallen/toys#WarriorClash|Deluxe Megatronus]], with pretty much all of the figure from the waist up being redesigned, plus new kneepads. The cannon barrels in tank mode are articulated, and can be removed from the figure's back to be used as a hand-held weapon. The figure also has a peg hole on the back of its head meant to "store" the sword in tank mode; but it can also be used in conjunction with the cannons to allow for the figure to be displayed in a more offense-focused configuration.

: This mold was also used to make [[Bludgeon (Prime)#Robots in Disguise (2015)|Bludgeon]].

'''Nightra''' is a former cadet at the [[Kaon Police Academy]], where she was a classmate of [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]]. Events left her with a somewhat...''less-than-favorable'' opinion of Strongarm, and she decided she needed to look out for herself first...

==Fiction==
=== 2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon ===
{{voiceactor|[[Lori Petty]] (English)}}, TBA (Japanese)
Nightra and Strongarm were best-friends and cadets at the [[Kaon Police Academy]] where on one occasion, they were caught by [[Dropforge]] drag-racing in the Hall of Studies. On another occasion, they attempted to arrest a [[Wrecker]] for speeding, resulting in him damaging Nightra's Autobot insignia and identity signal. After Nightra was caught with a [[keyfile]] for one of their exams, she tried to get Strongarm to take the blame, but Strongarm refused to lie under questioning by the Academy's [[Proctor|Proctors]], resulting in Nightra's expulsion. After this, Nightra turned to a life of crime until she found herself being pursued by the bounty hunter [[Blastwave]]. Stealing his [[Light Bender]] and bounty hunter ID badge, she fled to Earth.

Nightra entered the Autobots' base through their [[GroundBridge]], using the Light Bender to make herself appear invisible. After revealing herself to Strongarm and her team, she was invited onto the morning patrol after scanning Strongarm's alt-mode. She used the ID badge to pass herself off as a bounty hunter, and claimed that Blastwave was one of her bounties who had escaped and was now looking for her. The Autobots agreed to protect her, but it didn't take long for Blastwave to appear, causing Nightra to flee. Catching up with her, the Autobots attempted to take her somewhere private, but Blastwave appeared once again and grabbed Nightra, disappearing through a portal to [[Blastwave's ship|his ship]]. After Strongarm and her team made it onto the ship as well, Nightra fled to the bridge with Strongarm following. After noticing her sealing off the cargo bay and preparing to jettison it, Strongarm realised what Nightra really was, but she took the control chip to disable the console and used the Light Bender's decoy function to throw Strongarm off. However, Strongarm managed to shoot out the bridge lights to make Nightra's illusions disappear, allowing her to slap [[stasis cuffs]] on her and hand her to Blastwave. {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}}

==Notes==
* The synopsis for "Guilty as Charged" released through TV listings services referred to Nightra as '''Chicane''', presumably an early working name for the character. While usually referring to an artifical S-curve in a road or racing circuit, "[[w:Chicane|chicane]]" derives from the same French root as "chicanery", ''chicaner'', which can be translated as "to prevent justice"...which ''may'' have been considered a bit too on-the-nose, given Nightra's character.
* Nightra's character model is an altered version of Strongarm's. How fitting.
* Nightra is the first rogue Autobot to serve as a primary antagonist in an Aligned cartoon. This probably implies that a number of Autobots are now wanted crooks.

[[File:SRaker.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Your destiny lies with me, Deadlock."]]
There are many lost bots who are in need of someone to look after them and '''Shadow Raker''' has taken many under his wing. Calling his pupils his 'Shadows', Shadow Raker teaches them the finer lessons of martial arts. He only asks for two things in return: complete loyalty to him and stealing anything he wants. While he delights in the riches his pupils steal for him, his greatest thrill is twisting their innocent minds until they're as rotten as he is.

[[Drift (RID)|Deadlock]] was one of his best students until he betrayed Shadow Raker and "stole" [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] from his "tutelage".

[[File:TRID E 50 Ragebyte RM.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"Any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from science."]]

'''Ragebyte''' is a scientist. He isn't interested in very much outside of his experiments, and he'd really rather avoid any unanticipated variables affecting their outcome—such as, say, do-gooders insisting his tests of his latest explosive formula are somehow unethical. However, if any [[Autobot]]s want to try to stop his pursuit of glorious SCIENCE, this Sharkticon is more than happy to invite them to the table—the ''dissection'' table.

{{voiceactor|[[Christopher Swindle]] (English)}}, TBA (Japanese)
[[File:Blurred Ragebyte submode.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Conclusion: Screen door addition ineffective."]]
Ragebyte traveled to [[Earth]] to experiment with meshing Cybertronian technology with whatever he could find there to make bigger and better explosives. He found extruded [[polystyrene]] to be a useful additive, but before he could complete his bomb, he was caught by [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]], who sealed him in a [[stasis pod]]. When the cache that contained his pod was threatened by a stricken aircraft, the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] removed everything from it, and an incident during transport resulted in Ragebyte escaping.

Reclaiming his bomb, he headed to some nearby docks to raid the stocks of polystyrene. [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] and [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] caught up with him there, however Ragebyte's ability to project an energy beam from his mouth allowed him to get away. Pursued along the river by the pair, Ragebyte successfully forced them to crash their boat and then shook them off when they grabbed him. The Sharkticon proceeded to attach his completed explosive to [[Crown City Bridge]] in order to carry out a field trial, then battled [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Drift (RID)|Drift]], and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] atop the bridge until Sideswipe goomba-stomped him into defeat and Blurr carried his bomb a safe distance away. The team took him back to the scrapyard where he was again stored in a stasis pod. {{storylink|Blurred}}

[[File:TRID E 49 Crustacion RM.jpg|thumb|right|300px|When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer: superstition ain't the way.]]

One of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s most wanted criminals, '''Crustacion''' would probably be ''the'' greatest thief if it weren't for his single-minded obsessiveness getting in the way. It's not just his rabid focus on protecting his loot, which sometimes reaches the point of ignoring more pressing problems. He is also incredibly superstitious, believing that ''luck'' is the overriding factor that guides his successes and failures. Thus he tends to stumble along moment-to-moment with little forethought or reflection, not noticing incredibly simple mistakes that can snowball into colossal problems, like ''which way he's holding his map''.

It's probably a good thing that he's got ample <s>prawn</s> brawn to compensate for his lack of brain: his strength lets him go toe-to-toe with [[Dinobot (RID)|Dinobot]]s, and his built-in [[optic weaponry|optic blaster]]s allows him to take potshots at his pursuers from afar.

Crustacion broke into the [[Treasury Building]], stealing a fortune in [[Shanix]] which he took to [[Earth]] to conceal. He was apprehended in [[Antarctica]] by [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]], who stored him in a cache along with some other supplies. Some time later, the ice thawed, freeing him from his [[stasis pod]] and he began searching for the Shanix he'd stolen. Spying a nearby [[human]] base, he spent some time searching through it for his loot, and it was here that [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] found him. After fighting them off, he managed to find the rest of Windblade's cache and started drilling into it with his optic blasters, however it only contained energon cubes and a grenade. The Autobots caught up with him, causing him to turn tail and lead them on a chase through an ice tunnel which terminated in a dead end, at which point he brought the tunnel down on them. His search next led him to the sea floor, where his attempts to drill downwards were interrupted by the arrival of [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] — though the first two proved no problem, the [[Dinobot (RID)|Dinobot]] defeated him soundly. The Autobots later took him back to the scrapyard. {{storylink|Defrosted}}

Crustacion's Shanix were eventually found in Antarctica by humans, not far from where the Autobots battled him, and were transferred to the [[Crown City Museum of Natural History and Sciences|Crown City Natural History Museum]]. [[Shadow Raker]] and Drift's Mini-Cons, [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]], who were pretending to be Decepticons, later went to the Museum to pick them up before being stopped by the Autobots. {{storylink|Out of the Shadows}}

Crustacion's statis pod was later taken aboard ''[[Prime Force One]]'' by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and Drift. {{storylink|Moon Breaker}}

==Notes==
* Crustacion reuses [[Ped (RID)|Ped]]'s character model, giving him a different head. Unlike Ped, he doesn't seem to be bothered by his own body-type and is described by Russell as a "Shrimp-Bot", as opposed to a "Bot-worm".
* The synopsis for "Defrosted" released through TV listings services referred to Crustacion as '''Prong''', presumably an early working name for the character.

:''Bulkhead is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:Bulkhead-Prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.95|Miss me?]]

'''Bulkhead''' looks huge and menacing but is actually quite careless and gentle souled. Though he's no [[Ratchet (WFC)|brainiac]] nor a [[Arcee (WFC)|fast runner]], Bulkhead is one of the most sturdy members of [[Team Prime]]. He's afraid of hurting things smaller and more fragile than him, but his new [[human]] friend, [[Miko Nakadai]], has helped him grow past that. He has a low tolerance for jerks and bullies, and is quite happy to let people like that stew in the trouble they've made for themselves, but his better impulses—or at least, needling from those around him—always sway him into helping in the end.

For all his sweetness, he's still a [[Wrecker]] through and through. Yet despite participating in several major battles and campaigns, his past career has left some painful psychological scars. Being a part of the Autobots' black ops team means you have to do the dirty work, and Bulkhead's seen many horrors and friends meet a bad end. Though saddened by his traumatic experiences with the Wreckers, he's joined up with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] to end the fight with Megatron, for the sake of all his brothers and comrades.

==Fiction==
===Aligned novels===
Bulkhead was a Wrecker, but unlike his teammates wound up aboard the [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]] in the chaos immediately preceding its departure. When the ship subsequently charted a course for [[Velocitron]], Bulkhead's foremost concern was that the planet learn of his comrades' plight back on Cybertron. Later, as the Ark prepared to leave Velocitron, Bulkhead was one of the Autobots to back up [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] in a confrontation with [[Ransack (Prime)|Ransack]], the aggressive Speed Planet co-leader.

The Ark's next stop was the planetoid [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]], where sabotage caused the ship to crash. Bulkhead was one of the first to escape the crippled ship, and went on to lead the repair effort with [[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]]. When [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]], and Optimus Prime voyaged to the tomb of [[Solus Prime]], Bulkhead grumbled about being left behind, but wound up sounding the alarm moments later when the Decepticons initiated an attack on Junkion. In the battle that followed, Bulkhead pursued [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] into a Junkion excavation site with [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]] before joining a concerted attack on the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]''. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

Bulkhead was one of Optimus Prime's senior advisors on the Ark when the Matrix led them to [[Aquatron]]. He joined the main Autobot force when it touched down on the planet, making contact with the [[Inquirata (Prime)|Curator]] and his Aquatronians. Unfortunately, the Curator was revealed as a [[Quintesson]] with a grudge millions of years old against the Cybertronians, and Bulkhead was among the Autobots who were captured and forced to face trial on ridiculous trumped up charges. The Autobots and Decepticons escaped during the trial and met up with their comrades aboard the Ark and Nemesis to fend off the [[Sharkticon (Prime)|Sharkticon]] hordes and ultimately escape the planet. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}}

Back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Bulkhead was a laborer before joining the [[Wrecker]]s during the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]]. He developed a rivalry with [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}} and fought alongside [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] and many others. Despite his love of being a Wrecker, he left the team to join [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime's]] squadron during the battle of [[Thunderhead Pass]] {{storylink|Chain of Command}} early in the war because he considered Optimus to be "the real deal". {{storylink|Con Job}}

[[File:Bulkhead-Primevehicle.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|And then [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s engineers get a headache.]]
After the Autobots had arrived on Earth, Bulkhead was pulled away from a woodland area to back up [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], but when the team arrived at the battle site, Cliffjumper and the [[Decepticon]]s were gone. Sometime later, Bulkhead scared off some [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s, who were fighting [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. Bulkhead returned to base, and was there when three humans were brought in. Miko questioned him at length about how cool he was. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} During a subsequent visit by Agent [[William Fowler|Fowler]], Bulkhead crushed one of [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]'s tools as part of a demonstration, much to his comrade's annoyance. Bulkhead was part of the ultimately unsuccessful mission to retrieve Cliffjumper from a Decepticon [[energon]] mine. After they returned to base empty-handed, [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]] assigned Bulkhead to watch over [[Miko Nakadai]]. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}

[[File:DarknessRising3 disembulkhead.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|''No'', Bulky, the slogan is get some ''nuts''!]]
Miko managed to persuade Bulkhead to do some off-roading on the way back to base. Once there, Optimus and Ratchet left on a mission, placing Arcee in charge. Arcee promptly left to go patrolling with Bumblebee, leaving Bulkhead in charge. During an impromptu visit by Fowler, Bulkhead managed to prevent him reporting the three kids, but when Fowler was subsequently captured by the Decepticons, Bulkhead was compelled to mount a rescue mission. He [[GroundBridge]]d to the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'', only to find the three kids had followed him. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}

[[File:DarknessRising4-BulkheadandMiko.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Be thankful she didn't do more than heave on your car parts.]]
After trying to make sure the kids were safe, Bulkhead climbed aboard the ''Nemesis'' and began trashing Decepticons before discovering Miko had stowed away inside his chest compartment. Inside the ship, the pair eventually ran into Arcee and Bumblebee, who'd rescued Jack and Raf from some more guards. The three Autobots stuck the kids in a store room while they located Fowler in the brig and chased off [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. Mission accomplished, they returned to base, where Optimus told off Bulkhead. After Jack decided he was better off without the Autobots in his life, Bulkhead took Miko to visit him. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}

[[File:DarknessRising5-BulkheadMiko.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|D'awwww.]]
Once the Autobots pinpointed the location of the Decepticon [[space bridge]] in orbit, Optimus, Arcee, Bumblebee and Bulkhead traveled there by GroundBridge, though the height made Bulkhead nervous. They battled hordes of flying Decepticons, until [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] figured out a way to destroy the space bridge, and Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee did so while Optimus kept [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] busy. They safely GroundBridged back to Earth moments before the explosion. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}

Bulkhead assisted Miko with her science project, holding up her model of the solar system so she could paint it. Unfortunately Ratchet decided to take over the project, relegating Bulkhead to the role of transport. {{storylink|Masters & Students}}

Bulkhead and Bumblebee brought a strange pod back from the [[Arctic]] with them. It later turned out the pod contained [[Scraplet]]s, which Bulkhead was particularly frightened by, and Miko was amused by him screaming like a little girl as they hunted for the critters. There turned out to be too many for the Autobots to deal with, but after the kids repaired an energon fuel line for the GroundBridge, Bulkhead used himself as bait to draw them through to the Arctic, where they froze. {{storylink|Scrapheap (episode)|Scrapheap}}

[[File:ConJob-Fistbump.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|left|"Guy love, that's all it is, Guy love, He's mine, I'm his, there's nothing gay about it in our eyes."]]
Bulkhead was overjoyed when Wheeljack arrived on Earth, however Wheeljack's uncharacteristic silence during Bulkhead's war stories made the latter Autobot suspicious. After Bulkhead questioned Wheeljack on the [[Battle of Darkmount Pass]] and Wheeljack got an important detail wrong, the new arrival was unmasked as a Decepticon imposter. The real Wheeljack arrived and he and Bulkhead threw the imposter out via the GroundBridge. Bulkhead turned down Wheeljack's offer to go exploring the galaxy. {{storylink|Con Job}}

[[File:Convoy-Bulkheadmace.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|"You go on, Bulk, we'll cover the rear."]]
Bulkhead took part in a convoy when Fowler needed transport for a hi-tech [[Dynamic Nuclear Generation System]] device. When the convoy was attacked by [[MECH]], he reluctantly remained in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] in accordance with Optimus's orders, but when they were attacked by flying Vehicons, the Autobots were forced to use their [[robot mode]]s anyway. {{storylink|Convoy (episode)|Convoy}}

Bulkhead chastised Miko for neglecting her education, and when an energon trace was detected in [[Greece]], he attempted to use the mission as an educational field trip. Their education was cut short as Bulkhead's old enemy Breakdown arrived and the pair fought. Back at base, he alerted the other Autobots to the [[Energon Harvester]] he'd seen depicted in an ancient fresco, and the device was soon tracked down to a museum. The Autobots surrounded the museum while the kids were sent in to steal the Harvester, and fought [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and Breakdown. The Decepticons got away with the Harvester. Bulkhead went alone to Greece, where he managed to single-handedly defeat Knock Out, Breakdown, and Starscream, destroying the Harvester in the process. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}

[[File:OutHead-BulkheadBreakdown.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|Wheeljack is gonna be so jealous.]]
Bulkhead covered poorly for [[Jack Darby|Jack]] and Bumblebee when the pair went street racing, and was forced to go with Arcee to find them. He got to fight Breakdown again, flattening the Decepticon with a lamp post. {{storylink|Speed Metal}} Bulkhead was present for Ratchet's announcement that he had pinpointed the Decepticon’s warship, as well as a downed Autobot ship. Though Bulkhead was hoping to go on the offensive and doing some serious damage to the enemy base, Optimus prioritized the other craft, as it might have contained imperiled comrades. But when Ratchet and Optimus returned form their investigation, Optimus had fallen gravely ill. The Autobot leader had been infected with the Cybonic plague, a disease of Megatron's engineering. Jack suggested that Megatron might have created a cure for the sickness, but Bulkhead told him that was a moot point; as far as they were concerned, Megatron had already perished. The Autobots decided to infiltrate the Decepticon base on the off chance they had the cure in their database nonetheless. Bulkhead stayed back at base while Arcee and Bumblebee went on the covert mission. He provided emotional support as the situation developed. Megatron's inert form was discovered within the Decepticons' base, a cure was retrieved, and Optimus was rendered well again thanks to the efforts of Bumblebee, Arcee and Ratchet. {{storylink|Sick Mind}} Later, Bumblebee and Bulkhead played [[basketball]] together in the base, though Bumblebee's behavior was very odd. Bulkhead, Optimus and Arcee traveled to the Arctic to find a lens the Decepticons had stolen from a telescope in [[Hawaii]], and ended up tangling with a heat ray the Decepticons had built with it. They succeeded in destroying it, though it turned out Megatron had been resurrected in the meantime. {{storylink|Out of His Head}}

Optimus took Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Ratchet to investigate a [[Dark Energon]] reading and found Starscream attempting to resurrect [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]]. During the following ruckus, the Autobots found the kids had followed them and tried to send them back to base, only for them to disappear in a GroundBridge accident. It was only when Bulkhead spotted a text message on [[Miko's phone]] that Ratchet could engineer a way to get the kids back from the [[shadowzone (dimension)|other dimension]] they were trapped in. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}}

[[File:TFPep16DoubleCreatureFeature.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.67|So, uh, do you like [[David Kaye]]'s mom [[Bill Fagerbakke|too]]?]]
During an altercation with Breakdown on the [[Kamchatka Peninsula]], Bulkhead was knocked out and Breakdown abducted by MECH. Bulkhead stayed off Optimus's mission to rescue the Decepticon, but Miko persuaded him to go alone. GroundBridging to [[Russia]], Bulkhead forcibly infiltrated the MECH base and rescued Breakdown, though he was forced to pummel both Breakdown and Starscream when the Decepticon jet turned up and ordered Breakdown to destroy Bulkhead. {{Storylink|Operation: Breakdown}} Bulkhead was at the Autobot base when Jack and Arcee brought [[June Darby|Jack's mom]] in to introduce her to everyone. {{storylink|Crisscross}}

[[File:MetalAttraction-stuck.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Arcee, could you get that itch on my back?" "I AM the itch on your back!"]]
Bulkhead and Arcee, inadvertently joined by Miko, investigated a magnetic disturbance. They came across Breakdown and [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]] fighting over a [[polarity gauntlet]], and during the battle, Bulkhead and Arcee were magnetically fused together by the device. They followed the Decepticons to an abandoned gas station, where another fight broke out, and the two Autobots came unstuck. Airachnid tried to escape in her helicopter form, but Bulkhead grabbed her and threw her at Breakdown. He and Arcee returned to base triumphantly with the gauntlet. {{storylink|Metal Attraction}}

[[File:RockBottom-Bulkheadpassion.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Let's raise the roof!]]
Arcee and Bulkhead investigated an [[Stripped energon mine|abandoned energon mine]] with the kids. Bulkhead protected Miko from a cave in, but ended up having to support the ceiling. Miko banged a rock on his foot to attract help, but instead they were found by Starscream. Things looked grim for Bulkhead until Arcee came to his rescue, and the two Autobots and the kids escaped the mine. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}} Bulkhead joined the others in investigating a [[Harbinger|wrecked Decepticon ship]] and found Starscream all webbed up. Offering to defect, Starscream pointed them to the other half of the crashed ship, where they were attacked by Airachnid, wielding an [[Immobilizer|experimental Decepticon weapon]] that froze Bulkhead in his tracks. Bulkhead was locked in position until the Autobots retrieved the weapon and Ratchet used it to unfreeze him. {{storylink|Partners}}

[[File:TMI-Mikojogsmemories.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|This is art!]]
Miko and Bulkhead sneaked into a monster truck rally together. A week or so later, during a mission to secure a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]], Miko accidentally discharged the cylinder into Bulkhead's brain. Though at first Bulkhead seemed fine, he began writing complex equations for synthetic energon, and it rapidly became clear that the cylinder's energy was overwriting his mind. While the other Autobots attempted to secure the cylinder, Miko tried to help Bulkhead retain his memories by taking him to the monster truck track. They were found there by Knock Out and Breakdown, who tried to take Bulkhead's head, but during the attempt, Miko again triggered the energy to discharge from Bulkhead into the sky. Bulkhead was left in a comatose state until Miko managed to wake him with her guitar playing. {{storylink|T.M.I.}}

During an energon shortage, Bulkhead and the other Autobots took part in a number of missions to try to intercept the Decepticon energon shipments. When Ratchet developed [[Synthetic Energon]] and tried it on himself, the medic was amped up enough to knock Bulkhead through a wall. Their medic accompanied them on another mission, but his changes in personality began to concern Bulkhead and the others. After he knocked Bulkhead flying and went off on his own, the other Autobots were forced to track him down before he could damage himself. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}

The Autobots attempted to stop the Decepticons stealing a space bridge power supply from a military base. When Raf was gravely injured, Optimus and Bulkhead went on alone, stealthily infiltrating the ''Nemesis'' and Bulkhead bridged back to base with the power supply while Optimus went after Megatron. Bulkhead watched as Ratchet and [[June Darby]] fought to save Raf's life. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}} As the Autobots attempted to rescue Optimus from a zone flooded with Dark Energon, Bulkhead kept Megatron busy while the others pulled Optimus out. Back at base, the Autobots and their human friends puzzled over the natural disasters suddenly plaguing Earth, and discovered that [[Unicron]] resided at the center of the Earth. Bulkhead and the others began investigating the sites of the earthquakes that had struck when the Dark Energon volcano erupted. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}

Bulkhead, Arcee and Bumblebee came to Optimus's aid as he battled stone Unicron avatars. To their great surprise, help came in the form of Megatron, who offered to help them fight Unicron. Together with the Decepticon leader, the Autobots stepped through the GroundBridge into [[Earth's core]]. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 2}} Though Bulkhead was hampered by the influence of the Dark Energon, and during their fight against [[anti-bot]]s almost fell from the walkway, they reached Unicron's spark chamber. Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Arcee stayed outside to fend off the anti-bots. Following Unicron's defeat, they entered the spark chamber, only for Optimus to fail to recognize them, and they had to GroundBridge back to base without him. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}

The Autobots puzzled over how to get their leader back but made little progress. When Fowler warned them of an attack on a military base, Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Arcee went to try and deal with it, but Knock Out and Breakdown succeeded in getting away with the power source they needed. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}} Bulkhead and the others scoured the globe for the space bridge, but it wasn't until Ratchet and Bulkhead were contacted by a wounded Starscream that they obtained information on the space bridges location. The Autobots stormed the energon mine housing the space bridge and secured it so that they could send Jack and Arcee to Cybertron. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} Ratchet, Bulkhead and Bumblebee monitored Jack's progress from the Earth end of the space bridge. When Megatron arrived to take back control, Bulkhead attacked him and was easily thrown aside, twice. Luckily it all turned out, and Bulkhead and the others returned to base with Optimus Prime restored. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}

[[File:OperationBumblebee2-Forge.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Nope. Not even using the "hammer time" reference.]]
Bulkhead and Bumblebee were responding to an ancient Autobot signal separately, but when Bulkhead arrived, he found Bumblebee unable to transform as his [[transformation cog|T-cog]] had been taken. They quickly worked out MECH was responsible. Bumblebee later talked Bulkhead into taking him on another mission, on which they ran into Knock Out and Breakdown. Bulkhead got to fight his nemesis again while Bumblebee chased Knock Out. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} He almost had to perform T-cog transplant surgery, but was judged unfit by Ratchet. He did get to go on an artifact retrieval mission, and spent some time hitting Breakdown before getting hold of the [[Forge of Solus Prime]] and using it to knock the Decepticon flying. Unfortunately moments later Bulkhead was bushwhacked by Megatron who got away with the Forge. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}

[[File:LooseCannons Wheeljack works on bomb.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|For once [[Wheeljack (Prime)|I'm]] not the one under threat of [[Wheeljack (G1)|explosions]].]]
Bulkhead was overjoyed when Wheeljack returned to Earth, but when his fellow Wrecker decided to recklessly go after [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]], Bulkhead opted to go along. The encounter ended with Bulkhead a hostage with a bomb on his chest as a lure to draw out Optimus. Though Wheeljack tried to defuse the bomb, Bulkhead opted to go the self-sacrifice route, and was only stopped from doing so by Wheeljack, who had realized Optimus was right. Wheeljack and Optimus forced Dreadwing into defusing the bomb, saving Bulkhead's life. {{storylink|Loose Cannons}} Bulkhead accompanied Ratchet as they got more information from Starscream. This led to an Optimus-led mission to an abandoned energon mine in [[South America]], where they found Megatron fighting an [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]]. When the fight was finished, the Autobots surrounded the exhausted Megatron, but were prevented from finishing him off by the arrival of Dreadwing. Though they trashed a bunch of Vehicons, Megatron and Dreadwing escaped them. {{storylink|Crossfire}}

When Fowler was attacked by a truck resembling Optimus, Bulkhead caught his car after it plunged from a bridge. Back at base, they soon established that the truck was a MECH-created clone of Optimus and began searching for the MECH base. Though they located the hideout, [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|Nemesis Prime]] took them out one by one, and after Optimus dealt with the situation, the Autobots returned to base for repairs. {{storylink|Nemesis Prime (episode)|Nemesis Prime}} Responding to an energon signal, Bulkhead accidentally got himself beamed up to the Decepticon warship. After encountering and offlining Starscream (or [[Starscream clone (Prime)|a near approximation]]), and narrowly avoiding Megatron, he found the ship's power core and disabled it with his wrecking ball. The ship crashed, allowing him to disembark and drive back to base, where he found the others had captured Airachnid. {{storylink|Armada (episode)|Armada}}

Bulkhead took part in an attack on it with the [[spark extractor|Spark Extractor]], only to be put into stasis by its weapons. He recovered back at base when the kids disabled the ship. {{storylink|Flying Mind}}

Having found the locations of four artifacts, the Autobots started going on missions to retrieve them. {{storylink|Tunnel Vision}} Bulkhead was sent through the Groundbridge to retrieve one of the artifacts. {{storylink|Triangulation}} He landed up in a volcanic area near the equator and was first subjected to combat with the Insecticon [[Hardshell (Prime)|Hardshell]]. After defeating the Decepticon, he discovered that the relic he was after was [[Tox-En]]. Leaving a grenade and a false trail for the Insecticons to follow, he carried the Tox-En up a nearby volcano to dispose of it only for the Insecticons caught up with him as he reached the top. Bulkhead managed to overcome the trio and destroy the Tox-En, but as he was stepping back through the GroundBridge, Hardshell shot him from behind, {{Storylink|Toxicity}} and his smoking body was flung through the bridge into the Autobot base. {{storylink|Triage (episode)|Triage}}

Ratchet worked frantically to save him, and eventually succeeded. Bulkhead was left in a comatose state, with Ratchet unwilling to operate further until he regained some strength. {{storylink|Hurt}} Bulkhead later regained consciousness and was even able to take a few steps, with the help of Miko acting as drill sergeant. {{storylink|Out of the Past}} His recovery continued to be slow, and when [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] arrived, he was convinced the others were trying to replace him, despite their assurances otherwise. During another mission, Bulkhead tried to convince Ratchet to let him go help, but after Smokescreen went instead and made the mission a success, Bulkhead admitted that the new Autobot did well, then sadly dragged himself back to his quarters. {{storylink|New Recruit}}

He continued to pressure Ratchet to let him go back into combat, and was annoyed by Smokescreen's suggestion that he could use the [[Apex Armor (Prime)|Apex Armor]] as a "crutch". Finally his badgering paid off when Ratchet was convinced to let him help, though Ratchet sent him to protect Raf who was trying to hack into a satellite. Bulkhead arrived just in time to stop what he assumed was Breakdown from destroying Raf's house, but was shocked to discover that Breakdown was being controlled by Silas—now calling himself "Cylas"—and found his injuries were still hampering his fighting ability. When Smokescreen helped him defeat "Cylas", he gained a new respect for the newbie, especially when he learned that Smokescreen studied the Wreckers mission reports. {{storylink|The Human Factor}}

Bulkhead was part of a Team Prime mission to search for an Iacon relic that turned out to be a wild goose chase set up by Megatron. They soon found the real prize—the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|Legacy (episode)|Legacy}} He, Arcee and Bumblebee were happy when they learned they might soon be able to return Cybertron, but quickly realized there would be a downside in that they would have to leave their friends on Earth behind. {{storylink|Alpha/Omega}}

[[File:HardKnocksBulkheadDreadwing.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Not the face [[Tony Todd|again]]!!!]]
Smokescreen and Bulkhead were sent to find one of the Omega Keys, and Bulkhead sent his companion after the key while he faced Dreadwing. During the fight, Bulkhead managed to get the better of the Decepticon and used Dreadwing's own bomb against him. Unfortunately the key was taken by [[Starscream (WFC)|parties]] unknown. The Autobots later discovered that Smokescreen was the final relic, but located their friend too late to save him from the Decepticons. {{storylink|Hard Knocks}} After Smokescreen escaped the ''Nemesis'' with two of the keys, the Autobots received a message from Starscream offering the final key in exchange for surgical help. Bulkhead accompanied Optimus and Ratchet out to Starscream's location, only for them to realize too late that they'd been tricked, and Starscream got away with all three of the Autobots' three Omega Keys. {{storylink|Inside Job}}

Bulkhead found himself in a tricky position when Miko assumed that she'd be coming to Cybertron with the Autobots. He equipped himself with the [[Immobilizer]] when the Autobots traveled to Cybertron, and employed the weapon during the battle against the Decepticons, enabling them to regain the Omega Keys. The Autobots located the [[Omega Lock]], only for the Decepticons to unveil their trump card in the form of the three kids as hostages. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}} Bulkhead was forced to hand over his key in exchange for Miko. After Optimus destroyed the Omega Lock to prevent Megatron destroying Earth, Bulkhead returned with the others to base, only to find that the Decepticons were attacking it. The Autobots were forced to abandon base, and Bulkhead and Miko bridged to a point somewhere in the US. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}

Unable to contact the others, Bulkhead and Miko headed to a Wrecker meeting spot to try to rendezvous with Wheeljack. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}} Their patience was rewarded when Wheeljack turned up, having escaped the Decepticons. They watched as he blew up some of the Vehicons that were sent after him. {{storylink|Scattered}} The trio decided that blowing up an energon mine would be the best way to attract the attention of nearby Autobots. While doing so, they were attacked by a giant metal dragon which Bulkhead punched in the head. Even Wheeljack luring it into the energon mine to blow it up didn't work, but the three Wreckers were rescued by the newly arrived [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] and reunited with most of the rest of Team Prime. {{storylink|Prey (episode)|Prey}}

Bulkhead and Wheeljack provided a diversion at the base of [[Darkmount (Earth)|Darkmount]], lobbing grenades and destroying Decepticons while the other Autobots attacked by other means. The pair were eventually captured by [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], but when Optimus Prime returned and joined the assault, they renewed their attack on the Decepticons. Following the destruction of Darkmount, the Autobots assembled at a human military base. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}}

Bulkhead was not ready when Wheeljack lobbed their old lobbing ball at him, and it bounced off his chest, nearly crushing Miko when it landed. Ultra Magnus took the two Wreckers to [[Scotland]] with him, to investigate Decepticon activity there. {{storylink|Project Predacon}} Bulkhead found himself playing conciliator between Magnus and Wheeljack, as the pair continued to get on each other's nerves. The fact that Wheeljack had brought Miko along didn't help, but when they encountered the Predacon, Bulkhead found himself battling the beast with his fellow Autobots while Miko went for help. The fight didn't end well, as one of Wheeljack's grenades brought the cavern down on them, and as a result Bulkhead was disappointed when Wheeljack opted to leave the team rather than remain under Magnus's command. {{storylink|Chain of Command (Prime)|Chain of Command}} By the time Magnus and Bulkhead had flown back to base, Wheeljack had been talked into staying. {{storylink|Plus One (Prime)|Plus One}}

During a mission to secure energon, Bulkhead teamed up with Smokescreen to scout out an abandoned energon mine. They emerged without finding anything. {{storylink|Evolution}} When the Decepticons started stealing technology to repair the Omega Lock, Bulkhead was part of a team which turned up too late to prevent a theft, but at least he got to see Prime defeat Soundwave. He and Smokescreen were left at base to guard the prisoner while the others went to Antarctica, however Soundwave reactivated, knocking the pair out. {{storylink|Minus One}} When they recovered, they found that Soundwave had abducted Ratchet. Fortunately it turned out a piece Smokescreen had blasted off of Laserbeak would be useful in finding the Decepticon warship. {{storylink|Persuasion}}

They launched the probe and monitored it and Optimus's progress from the base. Though the probe was destroyed, Ratchet was able to send them the coordinates to the Decepticon warship, and Bulkhead and the others geared up in preparation to assault the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Synthesis}} The three Wreckers were ordered to take the bridge, however no sooner did they reach their target than Soundwave bridged them to another part of the ship. By the time they reached the bridge again, it had already been captured by Jack and Miko. With the warship until their control, the Autobots flew it to Cybertron and used the Omega Lock to restore their home world. After Optimus's obligatory speech, Bulkhead and Miko had a tearful farewell before he returned home. {{storylink|Deadlock}}

In the aftermath of Cybertron's rebirth, Bulkhead set to work building a new space port, assisted by Vehicons. With the discovery that there were two new Predacons on the loose, Bulkhead and the other Autobots attempted to persuade Predaking to help them, but were unsuccessful. After encountering Unicron, in possession of Megatron's rebuilt form, the Autobots realized that the dark god intended to destroy their world. After foiling an attempt by Starscream to retake the warship, the Autobots attempted to defend the Well of All Sparks from Unicron's onslaught. It was only when Optimus returned that Unicron was defeated, and Bulkhead was later present when Optimus sacrificed himself to restore the AllSpark to Cybertron. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}

===Titan ''Prime'' comic===
[[File:Titan4.1 Ratchet Bulkhead practise.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"I need practise like Optimus needs a face."]]
As Ratchet unveiled the [[Safe]], Bulkhead was unimpressed that he thought they needed more training. He threw himself into it though, deciding that the best defense was to smash everything he could. In doing so, he inadvertently uncovered and activated a nuclear missile which had been hidden in the base. Unimpressed, Optimus ordered him to hold up the ceiling while Ratchet and Raf dealt with the missile's warhead. Afterwards, Ratchet suggested Bulkhead and Raf design a new Safe. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.1|The Safe and the Failsafe}}

During some downtime, Optimus took the other Autobots, including Bulkhead, on a trip to [[Valley of Fire State Park]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.2|War Story}}

Bulkhead struggled to decorate a [[Christmas]] tree, while enduring a mocking from Arcee and Jack. When Fowler arrived with the news that the Decepticons had taken over a [[Yamal|nuclear-powered ship]], Bulkhead offered him a "Cybertron-size" mince pie. He and Arcee were left to mind the base with the kids while the other went to deal with the Decepticon problem, and the kids suggested the pair try to find something they had in common. They eventually discovered their mutual love of ice skating, and turned the base into an ice rink. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.3|Ice Breaker}}

Bulkhead played ''[[Invasionauts II]]'' with Raf, until suddenly the game put Raf into a hypnotic trance and made him open the GroundBridge. Bulkhead was sure he'd get blamed for this somehow, and explained to Optimus that it was only a ''minor'' problem, but moments later the Vehicons started coming through. Bulkhead fought them alongside the other Autobots until Raf was able to loop the GroundBridge, sucking the Decepticons back through. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.4|Tinker, Tailor, Gamer, Spy!}}

[[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] woke Bulkhead with the news that the [[President of the United States]] had been kidnapped. Bulkhead and the rest of the Autobots visited the [[Grand Canyon]] where he and Ratchet protected [[Air Force One]] while the others defeated Starscream and rescued the President. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.6|All the President's 'Bots!}}

[[File:Titan4.9 Bumblebee and Bulkhead.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"Don't be like that, Bumblebee. I didn't mean to eat the last [[chocolate-covered wheel-nut]]."]]
Bulkhead and Arcee headed to [[Zhejiang Province]], [[China]] after the Autobots lost contact with Optimus Prime. They found [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and a bunch of Vehicons feeding Optimus's body into a crusher but were overcome by the Decepticons before they could rescue him. Luckily Optimus came to his senses in time. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.8|The Mind Trap!}} Bulkhead and Bumblebee retrieved Knock Out's [[neuron refractor]] from China, unaware that a MECH agent had stowed away in it. During [[Novo|Agent Novo]]'s escape from the Autobot base, Bulkhead was almost hit by grenades, and Novo kidnapped Miko. The Autobots searched for Miko, and located the MECH base in time for Novo, now occupying a mechanoid body, to return Miko. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.9|The Novo Incident}}

After Jack's demonstration of bobbing for apples, Bulkhead bobbed for engine blocks. He accompanied Optimus Prime to the [[Deep Driller]] oil platform, but wasn't much help in fighting [[Rufus Madison|General Madison]]'s forces there. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.10|Mad Dogs & Autobots}} Following a successful solo mission to destroy a Decepticon energon store, Bulkhead was ambushed in the [[Alaska]]n forest by Megatron's forces. He was taken back to the ''Nemesis'', where Megatron stuck him in an [[Ultra Prison]], a device which would slowly erase his mind. Luckily Bulkhead had an emergency connection to [[Miko's phone]], and the alerted Autobots brought the three kids to the ship to rescue him. Later Miko said he could thank her by treating her to some monster truck rally. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.11|The Battle for Bulkhead}}

Bulkhead took part in a battle against the Decepticons in [[The Wave]], and did an admirable job at protecting the rear with his wrecking ball. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.12|The Evil Shred}}

Agent Fowler managed to intercept a Decepticon broadcast, which alerted Bulkhead and the rest of the Autobots to the Decepticons' next plot; the desecration of the [[Statue of Liberty]]. But as Liberty Island, now occupied by the Decepticons, was too small to launch a full frontal assault against, Bulkhead stayed behind while Optimus and Bumblebee led a stealth operation against Megatron's troops. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.13|Protecting the Lady}}

Knock Out and [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] specifically demanded Optimus and Bulkhead come after the two Decepticons took over a TV studio. The Autobots found themselves forced to run the ''[[Down and Out]]'' course, lest the Decepticons' hostages be harmed. Luckily Bulkhead had watched the show with Miko, so he knew where many of the traps were, though the Decepticons had made a few changes. The pair managed to get through the course and rescue the hostages, leading to Knock Out and Breakdown's defeat at the hands of Arcee. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.14|It's a Knock-Out}}

When [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] retrieved some Cybertronian weapons, Bulkhead spent hours in the desert fruitlessly trying to get one of them to work. Just as he was about to give up, he was abruptly attacked by [[Ripclaw (Prime)|Ripclaw]], who inflicted a [[mech-venom]] sting on him. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 9}} Following the fight, Bulkhead was left inching nearer and nearer to shutdown. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 10}}

===''Full of Fire!''===
Bulkhead, Ratchet and Bumblebee went out into a [[New Mexico]] desert to test new weapons Ratchet had constructed, though Bulkhead wondered whether it was wise to do so in the open. Ratchet put this down to jealousy that Bumblebee's [[Eagleshot Bow]] had a longer range than the [[Dragon Grinder|Rhino Blade]] Bulkhead had been equipped with. Once the trio were joined by Optimus, they came under attack from no less than six Predacons. Luckily the new weapons gave the Autobots the edge they needed, and Bulkhead unleashed his on both [[Hun-Gurrr (Prime)|Hun-Gurr]] and [[Blight (Prime)|Blight]]. The enemy soon fled, though Optimus was pessimistic about the victory. {{storylink|Full of Fire!}}

===''Beast Hunters'' comic===
Following Optimus's sacrifice, Arcee, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead encountered [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] in a tunnel. {{storylink|Beast Hunters issue 7|Beast Hunters #7}} They emerged on the surface in time to help [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and the other Dinobots fight a squad of [[Forged]]. After that threat was dealt with, they were promptly attacked by a new Predacon. The Autobots split into groups to head to [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], with Bulkhead, [[Slug (FOC)|Slug]] and [[Firestar (Prime)|Firestar]] leading one group of survivors. [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]] drew off the Predacon when it attacked, allowing Bulkhead and the other to reach Kaon while the Predacon was dealt with. There, Bulkhead clumsily tried to explained that the Dinobots would always be welcome in the Autobot ranks, though Arcee needed to step in to clarify for him. Grimlock, however, said the Dinobots would be unable to help with the reconstruction of Kaon, since they'd be building a new home for the survivors. {{storylink|Beast Hunters issue 8|Beast Hunters #8}}

After Cybertron's rebirth, a statue of Bulkhead was constructed in his honor, {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} but Bulkhead himself would end up blacklisted by the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

After [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] accidentally absorbed the contents of a data cylinder, Bumblebee was reminded of Bulkhead's own experience with such a device. {{storylink|Brainpower}} Bumblebee later recalled a time when Bulkhead challenged him to arm wrestling and they almost destroyed two levels of Omega One. {{storylink|History Lessons}}

Bulkhead was summoned to Earth by Optimus Prime, and while he arrived ahead of the Prime, his appearance through the [[GroundBridge]] was timely, coinciding with Bumblebee, [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], and [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] being infected with a malware virus carried by the Energon vampire [[Wingcode]]. Bulkhead reined in the panicked Grimlock, who had run off to do ''something'' to help (but with no idea ''what''), engaging him in a brief fight before physically dragging Grimlock back to the scrapyard unconscious. After settling him with some calming car-smashing, as well as tranquil thoughts about [[Sharkticon (RID)|Sharkticon]]-punching, the two Autobots set about formulating a plan - although the pair were forced to admit they were "not really thinkers." In spite of this, Grimlock came up with a clever ruse to trap Wingcode based on her hunger for more Energon, trapping her in a cave where she could not fly, caught between the two Autobots. Once pummeled into submission, her nano-cells were used as an antidote, restoring the sick Autobots, and with the mission wrapped up, Bulkhead declared he'd like to hang around until Optimus' arrival. He and Grimlock went off for some recreational granite-punching... although Bulkhead was less than gruntled to hear the [[Dinobot (RID)|Dinobot]]'s critique of his kicking technique. {{storylink|Sick as a Bot}}

He encountered [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] when called in by Bumblebee to aid in the Decepticon's capture, initially underestimating his lupine adversary. When the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] became distracted (i.e. arrested) by the arrival of [[Dropforge]], he pursued Steeljaw to a natural gas refinery, only to find himself locked out of the facility by one of the Decepticon's subsonic force fields. He cleverly switched to "plan B", sneaking in via one of the empty pipelines, but Steeljaw detected this cunning via the refinery's security system and detonated the gas in the pipe. Bulkhead punched his way out of the pipe, then regrouped with the other Autobots who had captured the mind-controlled Dropforge and made their way to his location. Together they confronted Steeljaw and defeated his plan to blow up [[Crown City]], but were unable to stop his escape.{{storylink|Five Fugitives}}

Bulkhead, Ultra Magnus and Arcee spied on Bumblebee's team from their spaceship, though Bulkhead thought they should let Bee know they were there. {{storylink|Fire, When Ready!}} While struggling to get his team to work together, Bumblebee recalled happier times when he was part of Team Prime with Bulkhead. Bulkhead and Arcee were sent by Magnus to question [[Spinhead]], but arrived after the Decepticon had been captured. They returned to the ship, unaware that Bumblebee had spotted them. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 1|Robots in Disguise #1}}

The trio visited Bumblebee so they could question some of the [[Alchemor]] prisoners over the whereabouts of [[Clipshade]], and Bulkhead subsequently took part in a joint operation by the teams which succeeded in capturing the Decepticon. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 2|Robots in Disguise #2}}

Bulkhead dozed off while monitoring Team Bee. He later accompanied Ultra Magnus and Arcee on another visit to the team. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 3|Robots in Disguise #3}} Once Ultra Magnus filled the others in on the fact that Clipshade was an Autobot spy tasked with finding the identity of the [[Cybercomrade Sect]] leader, Bulkhead was thankful that they no longer needed to keep secrets from their old friend. The Autobots subsequently mounted another operation to track down Sect leader [[Overhead]], which resulted in them all almost being sucked into a black hole created by Overhead setting her space bridge to self-destruct. In the aftermath, Overhead and her hench-[[Croctobot]]s were taken into custody, and Bulkhead and the others loaded them onto Ultra Magnus's ship to go back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 4|Robots in Disguise #4}}

{{voiceactor|[[Kevin Michael Richardson]] (English)}}
The Autobots detected a massive asteroid of Dark Energon headed toward Earth, and intercepted the ''Nemesis'' crew attempting to retrieve the asteroid when bridging to the location. At the climax of the battle, the asteroid began to split apart and exploded. Team Prime fell to Earth and scattered across the country.

Bulkhead was found in some sort of tomb by Miko. Almost immediately, he encountered Starscream who played on his life by nearly collapsing the whole cave on him. Thankfully, Bulkhead and Miko escaped, and the big guy unleashed tenfold on Starscream. However, one of the Vehicons managed to swipe Miko and take her captive.

Optimus regrouped with Bulkhead later to track a Decepticon signal, though Bulkheads loud speaking and noises alerted Megatron & Starscream to their presence. Bulkhead got another chance to lock fists with Starscream while Optimus fought Megatron. Ultimately, Optimus was trapped in rubble, but Bulkhead managed to get aboard the Nemesis by taking Starscream hostage (in his own ship!).

Starscream tricked Bulkhead, however, into bringing him into a room where he was ambushed by Vehicon troopers. Yet again, Bulkhead came out on top of the pile with Starscream retreating in defeat. Though, Thunderwing's escape from the ship resulted in Bulkhead having to find an alternate route out of the room to join up with the other Autobots.

The team regrouped, though missing Optimus, and Ratchet dispatched Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Arcee to chase Thunderwing in order to give him time to create a device to corrupt his Dark Energon core. Bulkhead was pretty shaken up by Megatron, but was the one who took Arcee in for medical care. Bulkhead later joined the rest of the team in watching the sun set after a day's hard work. {{storylink|Transformers: Prime - The Game}}

===''Transformers Prime: Battle For Energon''===
Optimus sent Bulkhead out on several missions. His first two consisted of Bulkhead retrieving Dark Energon shards from a Dark Energon mine before the Decepticons could use them to raise an army of Terrorcons. Before the mission's end, Bulkhead had to face off against Soundwave and defeat him within the mine. Next, Bulkhead was sent to infiltrate the Nemesis and retrieve Energon stores in the Decepticons' possession. Before Bulkhead could leave the Decepticon ship, he had to contend with Starscream, and defeat him as well. Bulkhead's last missions brought him back to Autobot headquarters. The Autobots' base had been infiltrated by the Decepticons, who had used Scraplets to make its systems go haywire.

*'''Bulkhead''' (First Edition Voyager, 2011/2012)
**''Number:'' '''002'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''2012-[[December 28|12-28]]'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Energon]] battle mace, stand

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#First Edition (2011)|Prime: First Edition]]'' Voyager Class toys, Bulkhead transforms into a truck. He comes with an "energon battle mace" that can either peg via [[5mm post]] into his hands, or replace one of his hands when either is flipped into his arm. The mace itself features a plain peg-hole at the top, and is stored in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] by pegging it onto the trunk. The patch of clear black [[light-piping]] plastic ([[Gang-molding|gang-molded]] to the rest of his [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] clear black parts) on his head is neutered by having his eyes painted, in equally show-accurate light blue. As with all First Edition toys, he features a cardboard stand.

:In an effort for him to fit in his [[packaging]], he is usually mis-transformed: the panel on his back is hinged up to his head, while the wheels connected to his panel-chest, normally splayed out as a pair of "[[Kibble|wings]]" and tabbed into the sides of the back panel, are left folded up and untabbed on his sides. His headlights, normally swiveled and angled up on his chest, are also left untransformed. The large panel (with the [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake sculpted grille]]) underneath his hinged hood pieces also isn't tabbed to the black sliding "spine" behind it, with the results being that his crotch piece tabs only lightly to his waist, detaches easily, dislodges when the front bumper is hinged forward into the indent on its back, and that many packaged Bulkheads are encountered with their flies open.

:The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bulkhead features darker green plastic and paint.

:''First Edition'' Bulkhead never made it to shelves in the United States in the initial run, forcing U.S. fans to import the Hasbro version from Canada. Later, [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] would pick up Bulkhead, along with most of the rest of the First Edition line, as part of a huge block of [[exclusive]]s for the US market. However, in summer 2014, he suddenly appeared on Toys R Us stores all over Hong Kong in massive quantities.

:This mold would have also been [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Generations|Brawn]]. While that toy was canceled, the retooled mold eventually saw release as ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Cloud|Brawn]].

**''Japanese ID number'': '''EZ-08'''
**''Accessories'': Battle Mace

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Cyberverse]] Commander Class toys, Bulkhead is a smaller-scale toy, and features translucent plastic panels on his hood, roof, and robot back so that the toy can be illuminated by the electronic lights featured in the larger playsets. He comes with a translucent-blue "battle mace" weapon which features four [[C joint|3mm post]]s and three post-holes all over, allowing it to be held/mounted into holes on his hands, arms, shoulders/vehicle rear, and roof, or store on his back in [[robot mode]]. The [[Hasbro]] release features a pack-in file card.

:In addition to the regular version, Bulkhead was also released in a special "advance release" assortment alongside [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Cyberverse|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (WFC)/toys#Cyberverse|Megatron]], and [[Starscream (WFC)#Cyberverse|Starscream]], with each figure including a mini-DVD that contains the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' episode "[[Masters & Students]]".

**''Series / Number'': '''3 / 003'''
**''Accessories'': Launcher & missile (combine to form Nova Hammer)

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: [[Beast Hunters]]'' Commander Class toys, Bulkhead is a redeco and extensive retool of his Cyberverse toy, transforming into a heavily-modified armored truck with massive spikes on the fenders. He has 3mm ports in many of the same places as the previous toy, and his vehicle doors have been retooled with additional ports. His color scheme is similar to [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]].

:He now comes with a two-piece "Nova Hammer", a hammer with a very obvious axe-bladed head. The "hammer" can be held at the handle, with the handle featuring a narrow central section to allow it to be safely wedged into Bulkhead's hands, while a thicker 3mm section below the narrow part allows it to be held more securely. The weapon's head can launch the attached handle as a [[missile]] via pressure-launch, and the head/launcher features a 3mm peg-hole and two posts.

:Whether it's due to incomplete [[instructions]] or alternative transformations, Bulkhead's instructions tell [[you]] to leave his wheel "wings" swung down onto his back.

*'''Bulkhead''' (Voyager, 2012)
**''Series / Number'': '''01 / 004'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''2012-[[April 28|04-28]]'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''AM-10'''
**''Accessories'': Cannon/wrecking ball & battle ram (Hasbro only), "B.H." Arms Micron (TakaraTomy only)

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Voyager Class toys, Bulkhead is a new, smaller mold. He now comes with a "battle ram" and a half-translucent cannon with a fully translucent wrecking ball on top, both of which can be mounted (via 5mm posts) on either his roof/back, arms, or hands, with both weapons also featuring an assortment of 5mm peg-holes. The cannon can transform into a spinning wrecking ball that's illuminated by a red LED as a sort of "Energon glow", and as with other Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, the deployed weapon cannot lock into place. Interestingly, the [[mouthplate]] on his face is a separate, jointed, unpainted piece that can flip up to cover his face. Unfortunately, he lacks the lower half of his face, so there's nothing to see there.

: His prototype [[stock photography]] lacks the Autobot symbol that's on his right shoulder-pad in the final product. His instructions also incorrectly show his completed vehicle mode's bumper with his crotch flap still flipped up, and they also neglect to mention that his door windows/shoulder pads can open up to help cover his shoulders.

: Part of the third assortment of TakaraTomy ''Prime'' toys, the Japanese release of Bulkhead is cast in metallic plastic, features painted rims, and drops many of his other [[paint operation]]s in favor of customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s. He also has 5mm post-holes added to his vehicle mode doors as part of the [[Arms Micron]] [[gimmick]]. Instead of either of the accessories from the [[Hasbro]] version, he instead comes with his Arms Micron partner, [[B.H.]], who transforms into a larger version of Bulkhead's wrecking ball, though with a short plastic chain with handle on one end, emulating [[Bulkhead (Animated)|''Animated'' Bulkhead's]] cable-tethered wrecking-ball weapon.

: This mold also served as the basis of the non-toy ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' incarnation of [[Cryotek (Universe)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Cryotek]]. This figure's design also served as a basis as Bulkhead’s new appearance in the ''Robots in Disguise (2015)'' episode "[[Sick as a Bot]]".

*'''Bulkhead''' (Deluxe, 2013)
**''Series / Number'': '''2 / 007'''
**''Accessories'': Dragon Grinder

: Part of the second wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Deluxe Class toys, Bulkhead is a new, smaller mold, and transforms into a heavily-modified off-road truck with spikes/drills on the fenders. His robot chest features narrow chest windows in a similar style to ''Animated'' Bulkhead. He comes with the "[[Dragon Grinder]]", a circular saw which can be spun at the push of a button. It features a sculpted dragon head on top of its housing, and the weapon can mount via its 5mm peg. Bulkhead features 5mm peg-holes on his hands and forearms, as well as on his roof and doors (which end up on his back in robot mode).

:His "collar" tends to rub against his windshield-hood joint during transformation, which means that the paint on the tip of the collar has a bad habit of being scraped off.

:His instructions incorrectly show his completed vehicle mode's bumper with his crotch flap still flipped up. They also include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 9|ninth chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series.

:This mold also served as the basis of the non-toy ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' incarnation of [[Bighorn#Beast Wars: Uprising|Bighorn]].

**''Pieces: '''13'''
: Part of the first wave of Battle Upgrade Hero Mashers toys, Bulkhead is a non-transforming robot with a rotund and rugged body based on [[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|''Prime'']] Bulkhead, but with the gentle and caring mug of [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|''Animated'']] [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]]. He includes a back mounted set of rocket packs, a Mjolnir-like [[Hammer (weapon)|hammer]], a large white piledriver (cannon?), and an arm mounted gun which fires a spring-loaded [[Missile|projectile]]. His parts, much like all other Hero Mashers, can be removed and swapped out with any other figure from the same line.

:He includes [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Cliffjumper]]'s arm, which is a [[redeco]] of ''Hero Mashers'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Bumblebee]]'s.

:His forearm with the built-in launcher is included with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Optimus Prime]], just recolored, gimmick-neutered and labeled as an arm of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Ultra Magnus]].

[[File:Bulkheadsmile.jpg|thumb|It's really weird the longer you look at it.]]

* Bulkhead is of course an homage to ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], even using a wrecking ball-like mace.
* When [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] was briefly brought in early in the design process of ''Prime'', Bulkhead was originally intended to be [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]]. However, as the show evolved, the writers said they realized that they were essentially writing a new Bulkhead, and the character was brought in.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/site-updates-18/wtftfw-podcast-episode-123-with-derrick-j-wyatt-now-online-171018/</ref> Later, on a featurette on the ''Transformers: Prime Season 1'' Blu-ray, [[Rik Alvarez]] admitted that because of the death of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', they didn't want to confuse kids with a living Ironhide.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/transformers-prime-season-1-blu-ray-review-174448/</ref> It's likely that the former story was a cover for the latter, for spoiler reasons.
* For such a big guy, he runs really ''fast''.
* Bulkhead's chin piece is actually a cover for his lower lip, as is evident whenever he smiles and in his ''Robots in Disguise'' character design.
* Bulkhead's body parts are available to use in the Hub website's [[Vector Sigma Bot Builder]] online game. Normally, you cannot configure a generic 'bot using all Bulkhead parts, but you can see what one would look like at right through the magic of Photoshop. While all the characters in the game are hue-shifted from their normal colorations, Bulkhead ended up noticeably less-different than his peers.
* [[Bulkhead (G1)|Another Bulkhead]] seems to have completely borrowed the look of this Bulkhead.
*An almost-realized [[BotCon]] [[exclusive]] from [[Fun Publications]] was a redeco of [[#First Edition|''First Edition'' Bulkhead]] into [[Bruton]].<ref>[http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc14/bc14br.html BotCon 2014 attendee report]</ref>
*Bulkhead was used as inspiration for [[Hound (Movie)|Age of Extinction Hound]].
*With the exceptions of Optimus and Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Ratchet were the only Autobots from ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' to have speaking roles on ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)|Transformers: Robots in Disguise]].

===Arms Up Modes===
In the Japanese ''Prime'' toyline, Bulkhead has named powered-up modes when given various [[Arms Micron]]s in certain configurations:

*'''Berserk Mode''' (バーサークモード ''Bāsāku Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': Arc, B.2, B.H., C.L., O.P., R.A.
: Seen on his box-back photo, in this mode Bulkhead holds the [[Nebula Scythe]], with [[R.A.]] attached to his right arm, [[B.2]] on his right shoulder, and [[C.L.]] attached to the mounting point behind his head.

*'''Shootgize Galaxy Launcher''' (シュートジアイズガラクシーランチャー ''Shūtojiaizu Garakushī Ranchā'')
**''Arms Microns'': Arc, B.2, B.H., C.L., Gora, O.P., Zori
: Yyyyeah. Revealed in the ''[[From the Cybertron Satellite, Transformers Division|Cybertron Satellite]]'' portion of "[[Scrapheap (episode)|Freezing Transformation!? Terror of the Minicons]]", in this battle mode Bulkhead holds the [[Galaxy Launcher]] Super Combo Weapon, while he's also got O.P. on his left forearm, B.2 on his back, and inexplicably [[Gora]] on his right forearm with [[Zori]] also on his back. And as far as can be told, "Shootgize" seems to be a bad portmanteau of "shoot" and "energize".

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Bulkhead''' (バルクヘッド ''Barukuheddo'')
*''Mandarin:'' '''Gébǎn''' (隔板, "Bulkhead")

Dropforge

Mdjj1996: /* 2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon */

{{factions|autobot}}
:''Dropforge is an [[Autobot]] [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:FreedomFighters-Dropforge.jpg|thumb|right|300px|There's just one more thing...]]

Don't make the mistake of judging '''Dropforge''' by his size — in spite of his diminutive stature, he's a hard-boiled officer of the law who's spent years on the meanest streets of [[Kaon]], with the keen mind, cool head, and deductive skills you'd expect to find in a police detective. He's no pushover in a fight either; if you value anything below your kneecaps, you'll not make the mistake of trying to resist arrest when he brings you in. Unlike many of his fellow officers, Dropforge is more loyal to the ''spirit'' rather than the ''letter'' of the law, and isn't above bending the rules or overlooking regulations when the need arises.

These days, Dropforge has chosen to largely retire from active duty in favor of teaching the bright-eyed young cadets at the [[Kaon Police Academy]] in the dirty work of forensics and detection. Despite his crusty exterior, Dropforge has been known to take a shine to particularly bright students, particularly [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]]. There aren't many like her, but the kid has the potential be the best of the best.

==Fiction==
=== 2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon ===
{{voiceactor|[[David Sheinkopf]] (English)}}, TBA (Japanese)

During her time at the Academy, [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] regarded Dropforge as her favourite instructor. {{storylink|Get a Clue}} On one occasion, however, he caught Strongarm and her classmate [[Nightra]] drag-racing in the Academy's Hall of Studies. Strongarm later insisted that she had only been there to talk Nightra out of it. {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}}

When a case on [[Earth]] required some serious detective work, Strongarm remembered Dropforge and tried to mimic some of his mannerisms during her investigations. {{storylink|Get a Clue}}

[[File:FiveFugitives-Dropforge.jpg|thumb|left|200px|]]

Under the reign of the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Dropforge and a small team of Autobot officers were sent to Earth as part of a bid by [[Cyclonus (WFC)|Cyclonus]] to apprehend [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and his [[Bee Team (RID)|team]]; like other members of the Autobot police force, they were secretly brainwashed by a long-range signal from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to keep them loyal and willing to carry out the Council's orders. They landed at a [[Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist|scrapyard]] outside [[Crown City]] and set out to capture the Autobots.

They caught up with on the outskirts of the city and placed them under arrest for a variety of jumped-up charges. Bumblebee and his team quickly escaped save for Strongarm; after incapacitating [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] and [[Grimlock (RID)|Grimlock]], the Mini-Con subdued Bumblebee and imprisoned them all aboard their ship. With the help of [[Denny Clay|Denny]] and [[Russell Clay|Russell Clay]], the officers were lured out of the ship, allowing for the humans to spring their Autobot friends, with Strongarm conducting a central processor scan on him. The officers chased the fugitive Autobots to a natural gas refinery, where one of [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]'s forcefields inadvertently blocked the signal and caused the police 'bots to reboot, breaking the brainwashing. The signal was permanently blocked after [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] adjusted their processors to new frequencies, and they proceeded back to Cybertron to secretly investigate the perpetrators of the mind-control. {{storylink|Five Fugitives}}

This subterfuge paid off when Dropforge and his officers were able to take custody of the Bee Team and Steeljaw from the [[High Council trooper|High Council's officers]] to escort them to the [[Autobot High Council]] building as part of their investigation. {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}}

==Notes==
*His mannerisms and method of speech establish Dropforge as very much a stereotypical [[w:Hardboiled|hard-boiled detective]].
*''[[w:Forging#Drop forging|Drop forging]]'' is a metalworking process that involves heating metal, pouring it into a die, and dropping a hammer on it to form it into the die's shape. For a paramilitary academy's instructor, it's not an inappropriate name.

Blurr (Prime)

{{Factions|velocitron|autobot|rescuebot}}

:''Blurr is an [[Autobot]]-allied [[Velocitron]]ian from the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:RescueBots-Blurr.jpg|thumb|200px|If the heroes run and hide, who will stay and fight?]]

On the planet [[Velocitron]], '''Blurr''' was among the fastest of the fast; an up-and-coming racer who could keep up with and even outpace the best of them. He attained the role of celebrity among his peers, and to serve in his pit crew was once considered to be a great honor. Since arriving on [[Earth]], however, Blurr's discovered that he's not quite as perfect—or as well-liked—as he thought he once was: while he may be willing to help, he lacks patience when the job gets complicated, and opts to get the job done fast instead of getting it done right, even if he unwittingly endangers others in the process. He's not above trying to run to save his own chassis, or lying to avoid repercussions for his actions.

He's not a bad bot at [[Spark]] though. He mainly just wants to do his own thing: no obligations, no responsibilities, and no speed limits. Maybe with the right guidance...

{{quote|Works for me! I'm on this 'Con like grease on gears.|Blurr|"[[Sphere of Influence]]"}}

==Fiction==
===Aligned novels===
Blurr was the first Velocitronian that the Autobots met when they made planetfall. True to his name, the Autobots only just managed to get a few minor, almost irrelevant details out of him before he sped away again. Blurr was present when [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] revealed that the Autobots had not arrived to save Velocitron—they were, in fact, the ones in need of rescuing. On the way to the Velocitronian capital of [[Delta]], Blurr filled in the visiting Autobots about Velocitron's recent history, including the fact that the two leaders [[Override (Prime)|Override]] and [[Ransack (Prime)|Ransack]] did not see eye-to-eye.

Blurr later took part in the [[Speedia]], Velocitron's greatest and most prestigious racing circuit. Blurr managed to win the race, in one of the closest finishes of Velocitron's history, and received the Speedia trophy as a reward for his efforts. Just after the race, Blurr approached the Autobots, hoping to learn more about [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]]'s flight capabilities.

Later, after Optimus Prime and [[Clocker (Prime)|Clocker]] returned from Velocitron's south pole, Blurr once again joined the Autobots for a meeting. Sensing a connection between a piece of metal Optimus had discovered and the Speedia trophy, Blurr tore the trophy apart, revealing a similar artifact that had been embedded in the trophy- although Blurr was less willing to take the fall for the desecration of this selfsame artifact. After [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]] sabotaged the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'', Optimus requested that Blurr fetch Override to assess the situation.

After Velocitron's leaders began a period of open conflict with one another, Blurr allied himself with Override's cadre of loyalists. When a [[Thundertron|mysterious spacefarer]] visited the planet searching for Cybertronians, the Decepticon-allied Ransack accused Override of collaborating with Cybertronians. The accusation angered Blurr, who retorted by blasting Ransack off his feet. This action only reignited tensions between the factions and heralded the beginning of all-out civil war.

Blurr later sent a distress message to the ''Ark'' as it landed on [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]], updating them about the dire events that had played out on Velocitron after the Autobots had departed. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

[[File:NewRecruits Blurr Cybertronian.jpg|thumb|left|240px|Just a guy who wants to be a Hero for fun.]]
Blurr was a two-times winner of the [[Cybertronian 500]]. The ship Blurr was piloting crashed on [[Earth]] as the result of a meteor storm. Though his shipmate [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]] wanted to save the local earthlings from the meteors, Blurr opted instead to try to save his own skin by attempting to blast off in the ship. Salvage caught him and the pair fought, but were forced to enter their [[stasis pod]]s when the meteors hit the cave they were in. Their ship lay buried for some ten thousand years, until it was found by the [[Rescue Bot]]s. On being revived, Blurr was happy to take credit for saving the cavemen as Salvage lost his memory of the incident, however after Blurr bungled the rescue he took part in and the ship's memory core was repaired, the truth came out. Blurr apologized for lying and Optimus Prime was happy to give him another chance. {{storylink|The New Recruits}}

[[File:ANewHero Blurr commands ship.jpg|thumb|right|270px|Human beings are strong because we have the ability to change ourselves.]]
Blurr was less than enthusiastic as their rescue training continued and ended up botching a mission to rescue a window washer. Pining for the freedom of Velocitron, Blurr sped through Griffin Rock and ended up crashing into the statue of [[Horace Burns]], almost revealing the Rescue Bots' secret, earning [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]'s ire. On learning of the existence of the ''[[Sigma]]'' and overhearing talk of getting rid of him, Blurr stole the spaceship. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy}} Blurr opted to head for [[Hydrus Four]] for some racing, though shipboard computer [[ERVIS]] attempted to guilt him into returning to Earth. After a solar flare knocked out the ship's power, Blurr brought it back online, only to discover there was a satellite about to crash into [[Griffin Rock]]. With some help from the ground, he was able to destroy the satellite and returned to Earth, where Optimus made him a full Rescue Bot and assigned him and Salvage elsewhere. {{storylink|A New Hero}}

Blurr and Salvage joined some other recruits to contact the Rescue Bots for some tips, only to find the Bots on Griffin Rock were only able to sing. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}} Blurr and Salvage were on their way to Griffin Rock with High Tide when they had to stop and rescue [[Woodrow Burns]]. They were in sight of the island when it suddenly disappeared, leaving a number of surprised humans to rescue. {{storylink|Now and Then}} They were soon contacted by Chief Burns, and had to clear out the crater where Griffin Rock used to be, so the island could be relocated there after flying back from the [[Arctic]] where it had been teleported. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}

[[File:MoreThingsChange Blurr vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|left|320px|100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups and 100 squats.]]
Three years on, following the construction of a [[GroundBridge]] between the mainland and Griffin Rock, Blurr tested the bridge by traveling through it successfully, though the first time he sped through so fast he took out a pile of gift baskets. {{storylink|Bridge Building}}

With the [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] finally complete, Blurr was ready to party. After taking part in a snowball fight and almost causing Cody an injury, he challenged [[Quickshadow]] to twenty laps around a slot car track he'd acquired, using the base's [[Minimizer]] to shrink the pair to toy size. Blurr lost. Unfortunately then the base's computer malfunctioned and refused to unshrink them. {{storylink|The More Things Change...}} With the base's holographic disguise also failing, he and Quickshadow made their way to the front door, evading the cleaning equipment with some help from [[Servo (RB)|Servo]]. They succeeded in exiting through a small hatch and restarted the hologram projectors once the cloaking device had been replaced. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}

Feeling that he wasn't contributing enough, Blurr began party crashing car races. [[Dani Burns|Dani]] found out, and after he persuaded her to help him, the pair entered a second race, only for the sonic boom from Blurr's energon boost to damage the stands and the pair being exposed to the rest of the team. Blurr was restricted to the fire house, however when the cars in the third race lost control thanks to errant tech, he helped the rest of the team stop them. {{storylink|Hot Rod Bot}} While the Rescue Team practiced in the Training Center, Blurr and Salvage covered for them in Griffin Rock by employing an unorthodox technique to get [[Mister Pettypaws]] down from a flag pole. They were later joined by the Burnses and Blurr had trouble directing traffic. {{storylink|Uninvited Guest}}

After fouling up during another training exercise, Blurr found himself facing the [[Mini-Con]] [[Bounce]] and helped by [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] member [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]]. Though he was tempted by Sideswipe's offer of a place on the Bee Team, during the chase Blurr proved himself a Rescue Bot by rescuing a number of humans without thinking, and opted to keep up his training instead. {{storylink|The Need for Speed}}

As part of the [[Scrubber Initiative]], Blurr was assigned along with Boulder as Chase's team protecting [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]]'s west coast laboratory. The team proved unable to prevent the [[Morocco virus]] from making off with the technology Baranova was developing. {{storylink|Upgrades}} When Morocco had control of the Training Center, Blurr ferried Professor Baranova at high speed across the US so they could assault the base and devirus the mainframe. Blurr was later present as Optimus Prime gave the rescue team their new assignments. {{storylink|Transformations}}

Following the restoration of Cybertron from the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Blurr was one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. {{Storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

During a practice run, Blurr intercepted a plane's distress call that led him to the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]]. After rescuing the pilot and retrieving [[Ragebyte]]'s stasis pod from one of [[Windblade_(RID)|Windblade]]'s caches, a starstruck Blurr accompanied the team home, much to Sideswipe's chagrin. Fearing Blurr would replace him, Sideswipe attempted to prove his worth alone; however, the pair end up working together to take down Ragebyte. Contrary to Sideswipe's fears, Blurr became his intern rather than his replacement. {{storylink|Blurred}}

Blurr continued to work with the team, taking part in the capture of [[Zorillor]]. He and the rest of the team found themselves drawn to possess the [[Sphere of Doradus]], thanks to the energies it gave off, until [[Springload (RID)|Springload]] made off with it, and it was smashed during their capture of the Con. {{storylink|Sphere of Influence}} With his own team wanting him back, Blurr did some last minute training with Sideswipe, but was again called on to help capture [[Dragstrip (WFC)|Drag Strip]] and [[Wildbreak]] in [[West Rock]]. After the unsuccessful conclusion to that mission, Blurr returned to his Rescue Bot duties. {{storylink|Bee Cool}}

{{faction|decepticon|hofsilver}}
{{disambigm|Soundwave (disambiguation)|Soundblaster (disambiguation)}}
:''Soundwave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:Soundwave Prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|<center>"..."</center>| No eyes...always watching...]]
'''Soundwave''' is the spy master of the Decepticons. One of [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s earliest followers, and, many believe, instrumental to his rise, he uses his tentacles and a veritable army of [[Mini-Con]] [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]]s to learn everything there is to know about his allies and his enemies. He was never very chatty, but these days, on Earth, he's become near silent, communicating by playing back recordings of other people's conversations. He just sneaks about, patiently looking for Autobot transmissions and creeping [[Starscream (WFC)|you]] out.

Soundwave often finds himself acting as a restraint on [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], reining in his rather volatile emotions, and ensuring that Starscream's less than subtle ambitions are held in check. Indeed, this applies to every soldier amongst the Decepticon ranks. Even a treacherous schemer like Starscream has very good reason to fear Soundwave; his ferocity and strength from his gladiator days have not lessened in the slightest, rendering him a deadly foe to any Autobot, or [[Airachnid (Prime)|treacherous Decepticon]] seeking to usurp Megatron. This undying loyalty to his master, as well as their long history together, have attained him a lofty, high position in the Decepticon hierarchy. While [[Dreadwing (Prime)|others]] [[Shockwave (WFC)|may]] have officially held the rank of [[second-in-command]], Soundwave may be the true bearer of that distinction, out of sheer loyalty to the Decepticon leader. As long as Soundwave is around, Megatron has nothing to fear.

It's not just loyalty to Megatron that makes Soundwave such an effective soldier, however. Soundwave wouldn't be caught dead employing ''Bond'' villain tactics; he is concise and pragmatic in all of his endeavors. If he doesn't personally harm you during an outing, don't consider it an act of mercy or decency. You're not a part of his mission and not worth considering. [[Primus]] help you if you're in the way or you ''are'' his mission.

Soundwave has the ability to receive transmissions from anywhere on the planet, bar the shielded Autobot Base. This allows him to spy on every being on the planet in the hopes of picking up Autobot-related communications. He is also adept in his use of [[GroundBridge]]s during combat, dealing many a foe a frustrating defeat by virtue of them simply not being able to get to him.

Although he usually works with [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]], Soundwave's range of Mini-Con subordinates also include [[Rumble (WFC)|Rumble]], [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], [[Ravage (WFC)|Ravage]], [[Ratbat (WFC)|Ratbat]], [[Buzzsaw (FOC)|Buzzsaw]], [[Zori]], [[Stuntwing]], [[Trickout]], [[Hi-Test (RID)|Hi-Test]], and [[Goldgear]].

==Fiction==
===''The Covenant of Primus''===

Soundwave emerged from the [[Well of All Sparks]] sometime during or before the [[Age of Wrath]]. As the [[Quintesson]]s took control of Cybertron, they helped establish civilization across the planet, and a ruling body of Cybertronians to oversee the day-to-day activities the Quints wished the Cybertronians to perform. An election was held that named [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Zeta]] as Prime, and Soundwave became a member of his council of thirteen.

As the age went on, however, Sentinel and his council became suspicious of the Quintessons and ultimately began to plot against the totalitarian rule of these "benevolent invaders". Although the council kept their true intentions secret, active cells of rebellion broke out independently on Cybertron. A scientist named [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] was the first to translate the Quintesson written language for the rebels, and Soundwave's surveillance abilities acquired this information for the council as well.

After the Quintessons were eventually overthrown, Soundwave and the council ushered in the [[Golden Age]] of Cybertron, reverse-engineering Quintesson technology and making their own innovations. A [[Space bridge]] network was used in conjunction with cyberforming equipment to create colony worlds, carrying Cybertronians to the stars. A mechanism was even discovered for carrying the Well's life-giving power to other worlds, allowing energon and Cybertronian life to flourish there as well. Soundwave was present at the lighting of the ceremonial torch that carried the spark of the Well to the first colony world of [[Archon]].

But then, disaster. A [[Rust Plague]] sprang up on the colonies, virulent and incurable. The council made the dark decision to destroy the space bridges, cutting their colonists off forevermore. What followed was the so-called [[Age of Rust]], where Cybertron failed to find new inspiration after the disastrous end of their colonization program, and a metaphorical rust settled in to the population as well. Soundwave was the most vocal member of the council in trying to find something, ''anything'', to strive for and renew the population's interest. But the council's ennui was deep by this point, and they lacked the drive to push forward any new plans. As the other councilors talked about more research, more time, Soundwave denounced them all as doing nothing BUT talk, and renounced words altogether. He abandoned his position on the council and took a vow of silence, letting his actions speak for him from that point forward. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|Covenant of Primus}}

===Aligned novels===
Soundwave was a gladiator from [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] who almost bested [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] in combat, an act that created mutual respect between the two. Soundwave saw in Megatron a desire to return to the swashbuckling spirit of the [[Golden Age]] of Cybertron, when Cybertronians emerged from the [[Well of All Sparks]] having to escape from the [[Underworld]]'s monsters rather than being put into a [[caste system|caste]]. He was appointed Megatron's lieutenant with [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]. Though Megatron despised Minicons, Soundwave insisted on having them around to spy on their gladiators, including the time when Megatron's librarian friend [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Orion Pax]] came to visit. He was suspicious of Orion and even asked permission from Megatron to tail him as he returned to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]].

After [[Decepticon]]s bombed Cybertron in Megatron's name, Soundwave sent [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (WFC)|Rumble]] to search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in [[Crystal City]] (a place which design he always found self-indulgent). Soundwave was not sure whether he should have bothered, as he was not superstitious and wondered what use a piece of a [[Star Saber (Prima)|broken sword]] could be. Instead he got chilling indications Crystal City's scientists were planning to revive [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]].

[[File:WFCcomicDecepticons.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"Yeah, this look is cool now, but I don't think I'll have it ''forever'': I mean, who'd like to [[GEEWUN|see things looking the same for over twenty five years]], right guys? ...guys?"]]

Soundwave attended Orion and Megatron's hearing before the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. During this meeting, Soundwave helped to sow discord and tension by loudly shouting his complaints over security breaches that, in truth, he himself had caused. The Council noted that they were aware someone had tried to find the Matrix, and they appointed Orion [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] and requested he find it. This tore Orion and Megatron's movement in two.

During the final days of the war, Soundwave and his minions' research changed the fate of Cybertron. It was they who found the areas of the [[DataNet]] that [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]] had overlooked and not deleted, revealing the existence of [[Dark Energon]] on [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] Station. It was he who remembered the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] below Crystal City that allowed for the mass transportation of Dark Energon between Cybertron and Trypticon. And it was the evidence he got from Rumble and Frenzy when they infiltrated Crystal City that revealed the existence of the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] and its two [[Code Key]]s, which enabled Megatron to poison the [[Core]] of Cybertron.

When Optimus removed the Chamber from the Core, beginning the planet's slow healing process, Soundwave boarded the ''Nemesis'' with Megatron, [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] and [[Lugnut (WFC)|Lugnut]] to pursue the Autobot ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' into the unknown reaches of space. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

{{note|Soundwave's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic "[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (comic)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]]."}}

Soundwave regained consciousness on board the ''Nemesis'' after emerging from the energy field created by the Space Bridge explosion over Cybertron. While Megatron demanded a status report, Soundwave was already deep at work in a console attempting to determine the answer. Along with Starscream and Megatron, Soundwave examined the tracking reports and confirmed Starscream's assumption that the ''Ark'' was likely not too far away. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
In [[Uniend 610.23 Zeta]], {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime}} [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]] feared that if he or [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] knew the whereabouts of the [[AllSpark]], Soundwave would be able to find it. {{storylink|Bumblebee at Tyger Pax}}

===''Prime'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Frank Welker]] (English)|[[Germán Fabregat]] (Latin American Spanish), [[Arto Nieminen]] (Finnish)}}
When a gladiator calling himself Megatronus vowed to challenge Cybertron's leadership, Soundwave was his first follower and chief amongst them. Soundwave remained at Megatronus' side, now Megatron, as the conflict escalated into a war. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}} After finding out that the Decepticon scientist [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] had used Rumble and Frenzy as test subjects in his experiment to swap the sparks of Decepticons between different bodies, he demanded that Shockwave return them to their original bodies, to which Shockwave complied. {{storylink|Unreliable Narratives}} Following the [[Great Exodus]], when the Decepticons were trying to decrypt an encoded Autobot transmission, Soundwave suggested they should let Shockwave have a shot at interrogating [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]]. {{storylink|Out of the Past}}

The Decepticons later arrived on [[Earth]]. During a Decepticon attack on Cliffjumper, Soundwave intercepted Arcee's comms talk. He later played it back to Starscream, prompting the Decepticon leader to send the drones after her. He later detected transmissions coming from deep space, that prompted the Decepticons to fire up the [[space bridge]], allowing Megatron to return. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}}

[[File:DarknessRising5-Soundwaveturn.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|''Voice actor:'' [[Snake-Eyes]] (English).]]
Shortly after Megatron left the ship on a mission, Starscream wondered aloud if Megatron had a touch of space madness, and Soundwave reminded him that their absent leader was still in charge. Starscream told him to step up global surveillance. Soundwave subsequently intercepted a transmission from [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] and, on Starscream's order, dispatched [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] to capture the agent to learn the location of the [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Autobot base]]. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}} When the Autobots attacked the ''Nemesis'' to retrieve Fowler, slaughtering dozens of their soldiers, Soundwave hid. He simply watched when Megatron returned and took his fury out on Starscream on the bridge for not waiting on his command. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}

Starscream sent Soundwave to the [[Giant Sized Array]] radio telescope in [[Texas]] as they needed to use the array to target the space bridge at [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Soundwave hacked into the computer network at the site, but after he had lined up the dishes, someone realigned them. In response to Starscream's demands as to what was happening, he tapped into the base's security system and discovered that the Autobots' three human friends were in a nearby room, similarly accessing the computer. He extended a tentacle into the room they were in and attacked them. When [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] tried to chop the tentacle with an ax, Soundwave took it from her and used it to sever the computer system's hardline, locking the dishes on Cybertron. The three kids entered the room in time to see him leaving, and Miko and Soundwave snapped photos of each other.

[[File:MastersStudents-Soundwavesradar.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|See how much more convincing I am as a [[:File:Cybertronsoundwave.jpg|communications tower]] with this look?]]

Because of Soundwave's success, the Autobots resorted to sabotaging the space bridge, blowing it up and taking Megatron with it. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}} At Starscream's order, Soundwave activated the comm system so Starscream could give a speech to the troops, declaring himself leader. Failing to impress the Vehicons, Starscream pressed Soundwave's sensors into locating [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]], a Decepticon secreted in a pod in the desert. Starscream and Soundwave reactivated Skyquake, only to find he wasn't receptive to Starscream's leadership, and instead set about fighting [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. Soundwave detected a Decepticon signal from the site where the space bridge exploded, and when Starscream went to investigate, Soundwave sent Laserbeak to keep Starscream honest while he himself filmed the battle between Skyquake and Optimus and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. Though the outcome of the fight was not favorable to the Decepticon cause, Soundwave was able to ensure that Starscream returned Megatron's barely-functioning body to the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Masters & Students}}

Soundwave intercepted a transmission from [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] who was heading for Earth. At Starscream's order, he downloaded the necessary information to [[Makeshift (Prime)|Makeshift]], who took on Wheeljack's form and infiltrated the Autobot base. As Starscream and Soundwave paid a visit to the captive Wheeljack, Soundwave prevented his leader from terminating their prisoner, as he might be of use later. The two 'Cons retired to the ship's top deck to wait for Makeshift to activate the [[GroundBridge]], however Wheeljack broke free and started trashing the Vehicons. When Wheeljack escaped through the ground bridge and sent back Makeshift with his grenade activated, Soundwave and Starscream made sure to get well clear before he exploded. {{storylink|Con Job}} During another Autobot operation, Soundwave listened in on their comm chatter, prompting Starscream to send some Vehicons to attack. {{storylink|Convoy (episode)|Convoy}}

[[File:Deusex-Soundwavecrouching.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|And that's why there's no [[Ratbat (WFC)|Ratbat]].]]
When [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] mentioned seeing an [[Energon Harvester]] in a fresco in [[Greece]], Soundwave was able to track the device's location to a museum. Breakdown and [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] kept the Autobots busy in front of the museum while Soundwave sneaked in the back. He ran into [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] and [[Jack Darby|Jack]], who were already in the process of stealing the Harvester, and grabbed it from them before making a getaway in his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}

[[File:SickMind-Soundwaveobjects.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|"Let me see some tenderness connected with a death, or that dark chamber, Spirit, which we left just now, will be forever present to me."]]

Starscream and Knock Out made a concerted attempt to convince Soundwave that Megatron was beyond saving, and that the only option left to them was euthanasia. Soundwave remained skeptical, and pointed out the patch cable that Arcee and Bumblebee was using to access Megatron's brain. Megatron's life support was damaged during the ensuing confusion, and though it seemed Starscream and Knock Out were content to leave Megatron flat-lining, Soundwave pressured them into reconnecting the cable sustaining their master. {{storylink|Sick Mind}}

After Megatron's resurrection, Soundwave kept him informed regarding Starscream's activities, including his attempt to resurrect Skyquake with the Dark Energon shard ripped from Megatron's chest, and the loss of his arm. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}} Soundwave watched as Breakdown was captured by [[MECH]], and reported back to Starscream. He was on the bridge of the ''Nemesis'' when Starscream passed the news on to Megatron, who was less than impressed that Breakdown had been taken by a bunch of humans. {{storylink|Operation: Breakdown}} He detected the magnetic anomaly caused by the [[polarity gauntlet]], causing Megatron to send Breakdown to go look for it. {{storylink|Metal Attraction}}

Megatron and Starscream headed to a stripped Energon Mine to discover mining drills still there. Starscream attempted to blame this on Soundwave. Megatron told Starscream that Soundwave had been filling him in on the second-in-command's activities. {{storylink|Rock Bottom}} Soundwave listened to Starscream's confessions after Megatron nearly terminated the second-in-command. {{storylink|Partners}}

[[File:SoundwavePlayingSparkbeat..jpg‎|thumb|upright=1.1|He's playing Dubstep.]]
When the new Decepticon space bridge was nearing completion, Soundwave supplied a diagram of the last component they needed. After they obtained said component, Megatron left the ship on a mission of his own. [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] began searching the ship for the Decepticon leader and Megatron instructed Soundwave to send Prime to him. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}} Soundwave translated tremors coming from the [[Earth's core]] into sound, revealing it to be a heartbeat. Megatron did not appreciate this, as it was making his head hurt. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}} After Megatron left the ship to talk to [[Unicron]], Soundwave monitored the comms channels for his master's return. When [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]] suggested considering a future without Megatron, Soundwave ominously looked at her. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 2}}

[[File:Soundwavelayingdownthelaw.jpg‎|thumb|upright=1.1|left|YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!]]
Soundwave continued to try to find some sign of Megatron. When Airachnid announced Megatron wasn't coming back and ordered the ship to [[Regulon Four]], Soundwave decided it was time to lay down the law. He defied Airachnid, who angrily attacked him, but the Decepticon spy master quickly proceeded to defeat Airachnid. Upon Unicron's defeat, Soundwave detected Megatron's signal and activated the GroundBridge, bowing in respect with the other Decepticons as Megatron entered the bridge of the ship. He had to hold Breakdown back when they saw that Megatron was accompanied by Optimus Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}

With Optimus amnesiac and believing himself to be archivist Orion Pax, Soundwave made sure the ship's data core was clear of any incriminating evidence so Orion could be put to work decrypting information they'd stolen from the Iacon archives. When Arcee managed to get on board the ship to look for the lost Autobot leader, Soundwave made deft use of the GroundBridge to get her back off before Orion could see her. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}} When Orion eventually learned the truth, Soundwave relayed the news to Megatron. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} He also notified Megatron when activity was detected on Cybertron, indicating that the Autobots had gone there in an attempt to help Optimus. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}

When Megatron was angry after having had the [[spark extractor|latest find]] snatched from his hands, Soundwave reminded him there were still two more sets of coordinates to investigate. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}} Soundwave was present when Megatron unsuccessfully tested the [[Forge of Solus Prime]]. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}} He played back footage of Skyquake's demise for [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]]. {{storylink|Loose Cannons}}

Soundwave continued to try to decode more data from the Iacon archives, in a continuation of Orion Pax's work. When Airachnid requested Megatron's approval to take point in the hunt for the relics, Megatron requested that Soundwave remind him of her previous words when she planned to abandon him. Later, after Dreadwing and Breakdown's failure to execute her, Soundwave began tracing Airachnid's location during her communication to the ''Nemesis'' for Megatron. {{storylink|Crossfire}}

After the ''Nemesis'' crashed, Soundwave reviewed security footage and discovered that Bulkhead had been the one to cause it. Megatron brought it back online using Dark Energon, though the ship's guiding intelligence proved uncontrollable by the Decepticons. Soundwave plugged himself into the flight console in an attempt to regain control, but was zapped into stasis. {{storylink|Flying Mind}}

[[File:Triage Soundwave visor reflection.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|You--cracked--my--visor! [[Knock Out (Prime)|Prepare for sur...]] wait, wrong line.]]
He was on the ''Nemesis'' bridge when Knock Out left to find the first of the four relics decoded by the ship, {{storylink|Tunnel Vision}} and saw Dreadwing off to find the second relic as well. {{storylink|Triangulation}} After Megatron received word from Hardshell that the artifact he had been sent to retrieve was [[Tox-En]], {{storylink|Toxicity}} Soundwave was dispatched to find the last of the four relics. Soundwave encountered the ''[[Jackhammer (Prime)|Jackhammer]]'' and used Laserbeak as a distraction. He soon uncovered the [[Resonance Blaster]], only to be attacked by [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]]. Though the Autobot managed to crack his visor, Soundwave triumphed, and was only stopped from dispatching Wheeljack by an SOS from Laserbeak. He picked up Laserbeak and returned to the ''Nemesis'', where Knock Out discovered a grenade implanted in the deployer. Once the offending item was removed, Soundwave returned to his work decrypting the Iacon database, unaware that the Autobots had also implanted a virus in Laserbeak, which passed into the computer and began transmitting the database to the Autobots' mainframe. {{storylink|Triage (episode)|Triage}} He returned to the bridge to listen to Megatron complain about how ineffective everyone else was, and watched [[Hardshell (Prime)|Hardshell]] and Knock Out argue. {{storylink|Hurt}}

When [[Silas|Cylas]] came to the Decepticons with the offer of a [[Project Damocles]] satellite, Soundwave was sent to a military base in [[Colorado]] to get the codes so they could control the satellite from the ''Nemesis''. He hacked into the computer, giving him the ability to use the satellite even as he was downloading the codes for it, but failed to stop Raf from knocking the satellite out of orbit. He retreated as the Autobots reached his position. {{storylink|The Human Factor}}

With new information about where the Autobots' human friends lived, Soundwave had Laserbeak patrol the area around [[Jasper]]. {{storylink|Hard Knocks}} Soundwave succeeded in decoding another set of coordinates, and Megatron sent him with a decoy Iacon relic to draw the Autobots off. While he managed to keep Optimus Prime's team occupied for a lengthy period of time, it was not long enough, and by the time he returned to the ''Nemesis'', Optimus had gotten hold of the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|Legacy (episode)|Legacy}} Continuing his work, Soundwave decoded more coordinates and reported them to Megatron while the latter forged the [[Dark Star Saber]]. {{storylink|Alpha/Omega}}

When Megatron returned from victory, he told Soundwave, in great detail, how he had destroyed the Star Saber with his own blade. He soon had two more sets of coordinates downloaded, resulting in Knock Out securing an [[Omega Key]]. When the final set decoded into an image of [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]], Soundwave joined Laserbeak in the field to capture the Autobot rookie. {{storylink|Hard Knocks}} He was on hand to show the image he'd decoded to Smokescreen. {{storylink|Inside Job}}

After firing up the space bridge so Megatron could go to Cybertron, Soundwave told Starscream about what he'd discovered regarding the location of the Autobots' human allies. He later helped Starscream kidnap the three kids and transport them to Cybertron for use as hostages. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}} After handing over Raf in exchange for an [[Omega Key]], Soundwave took part in the activation of the [[Omega Lock]]. He survived the lock's destruction at the hands of Optimus Prime, and returned to Earth with the others. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}

During the hunt for the scattered Autobots, Soundwave dispatched Laserbeak to monitor an attempt to off Jack Darby. The attack resulted in an explosion that took out Laserbeak, and though Soundwave worked, he was unable to retrieve any further surveillance data from the salvaged, charred Deployer. He opened a space bridge to Cybertron, through which Knock Out returned from a mission accompanied by the long-missing [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}} Soundwave was present when Starscream proudly showed off the dancing monkey picture he'd found and later when Shockwave brought [[Predaking (Prime)|a Predacon]] to Earth. {{storylink|Scattered}} {{storylink|Prey (episode)|Prey}} As Starscream dispatched troops to deal with a number of Autobot signals, Soundwave tried to point out that their army was being spread thinly. He suggested that the Autobots were likely to be using the ''[[Harbinger]]'' as a base, but [[Darkmount (Earth)|Darkmount]] came under attack before the Decepticons had a chance to act on the information. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}}

He was forced to repair the ''Nemesis'' communication dish after the Predacon damaged it. {{storylink|Plus One (Prime)|Plus One}} Soundwave GroundBridged to Shockwave's aid in [[Texas]], when the other Decepticon came under attack from Autobots. With the help of Laserbeak, Soundwave managed to take down Optimus Prime and deftly GroundBridged a fragment of Predacon remains back to the ''Nemesis'' before the Autobots could get their hands on it. {{storylink|Project Predacon}}

When a plague inadvertently engineered by Knock Out and Starscream began spreading through the Vehicon population, Soundwave oversaw cleanup efforts. His group of Vehicons and Insecticons moved through the ship, destroying the infected, until the Insecticons suddenly broke off from the operation. He followed them, and on discovering that Airachnid was out of stasis and controlling them once more, used the space bridge to transport both her and the Insecticons to one of Cybertron's moons. {{Storylink|Thirst}} Soundwave hung around during a Decepticon meeting to determine what to do about the potential threat of the Predacons. {{storylink|Evolution}}

[[File:Soundwave Mocks.jpg|thumb|left|:)|upright=1.4]]
As the Decepticons gathered resources to rebuild the Omega Lock, Soundwave monitored some Vehicons stealing materials. He activated the GroundBridge for them when the Autobots turned up, but he himself was shot down by Optimus Prime and crashed into power lines, disabling himself. The Autobots took him back to their shielded base and attempted to interrogate him to find out what Megatron's plans were, but Soundwave merely erased his data and crashed his own hard drives before breaking his vow of silence to convey a message:

{{bigquote|''Soundwave superior. Autobots inferior.''}}

Soundwave remained offline until Laserbeak arrived and reactivated him with new orders—capture Ratchet. {{storylink|Minus One}} After returning to the ''Nemesis'' with Ratchet, Soundwave helped attempt to persuade his prisoner to cooperate by showing picture of the kids and the current Autobot base. {{storylink|Persuasion}}

The Decepticons were puzzled when they picked up Laserbeak's signal outside the warship, as Laserbeak was still attached to Soundwave's torso. {{storylink|Synthesis}} Stationed on the bridge during the Autobot attack on the warship, Soundwave used the GroundBridge to send the Wreckers to a different part of the ship. When the bridge was next attacked by Miko wearing the Apex Armor, Soundwave opened another GroundBridge and advanced on her menacingly, only for Raf to open a second GroundBridge directly behind him. The conflicting energies trapped Soundwave in the [[shadowzone (dimension)|Shadowzone]]. {{storylink|Deadlock}}

[[File:Titan4.2 Soundwave listen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1| You look different, Soundwave. Did you do something different with your entire face?]]
During the war, Soundwave took part in a mission led by Megatron to invade [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and destroy the [[Iacon Energon Refinery]]. The team had barely made it in before Soundwave detected that they'd been spotted and the five Decepticons had to take cover. Following a failed gambit which expended the other three team members, Megatron gave Soundwave a bomb. While his leader caused a distraction, Soundwave ran to plant the bomb, only to be struck by blasts from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|one of the defenders]]. Megatron picked up his wounded second-in-command and helped him to safety, along with the other three Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.2|War Story}}

Megatron and Soundwave somehow slipped some code into ''[[Invasionauts II]]'' to hypnotise Raf into opening the GroundBridge so they could send Vehicons through. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.4|Tinker, Tailor, Gamer, Spy!}} When Soundwave's plan to ambush the Autobots in [[The Wave]] went badly, he fired his remote-controlled hand at [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. The hand lodged in the scout's chest and later emerged when Bumblebee and [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] were asleep. Despite trying its best to kill Bumblebee, Soundwave's hand was strapped to a firework and shot high into the air. Starscream and Soundwave later scoured the desert for the missing hand and managed to find at least one finger. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.12|The Evil Shred}}

Megatron had Soundwave broadcast his intent to wreck the [[Statue of Liberty]] to the world's media. Unfortunately the US military intercepted all the transmissions before they could be received, leaving Megatron very unhappy with his communications officer. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.13|Protecting the Lady}}

When Soundwave was severely damaged, his loyal Deployers set to work repairing him. Utilizing the ancient, mysterious science of an alien world, they succeeded, and Soundwave was revived.

Trapped in the Shadowzone, Soundwave followed Megatron back to Earth, but got stuck on the planet after Megatron departed. {{storylink|Portals}} Some years after Cybertron's rebirth, a statue of Soundwave was constructed. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} His role in the war as Megatron's top lieutenant, and his fearsome reputation as a tactical genius, were well documented on Cybertron, as was his entrapment in the Shadowzone during his final battle aboard the starship ''Nemesis''.

[[File:TRID E 66 Soundwave powered up by three Neo-Forges.jpg|thumb|right|Designation: Soundwave. Operation: New Genesis.]]
After wandering aimlessly for an unspecified amount of time, Soundwave finally got his chance to escape the Shadowzone after [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] activated a malfunctioning GroundBridge, creating a portal to the Shadowzone. Soundwave flew through the rift and, along with Laserbeak, overwhelmed Bumblebee's team, throwing the yellow Autobot into the Shadowzone and knocking out [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] and [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] with his tentacles. That job done, Soundwave set to work constructing a radio array, hoping to contact Megatron and spark a mass Decepticon exodus to Earth. He was hampered by the antics of Fixit, [[Denny Clay|Denny]], and [[Russell Clay|Russell]], who managed to distract him long enough for Grimlock and Strongarm to come to their senses. The two Autobots renewed their assault on the Decepticon, prompting Soundwave to portal them away with Laserbeak. While the Autobots and humans regrouped and conferred with Bumblebee, Soundwave finished constructing his device. On the Autobot team's next attempt to hinder him, Soundwave chased Denny into a crane with his tentacles while Russell stole the last component of his communicator. Soundwave fired a barrage of portals at the human, until they overlapped and opened another Shadowzone portal, allowing Bumblebee to return and fight the Decepticon. Denny knocked Soundwave back through his portal with his crane, and Fixit kept the portal open long enough for Strongarm and Grimlock to return Laserbeak to the same realm. {{storylink|Portals}}
[[File:TRID E 66 Soundwave new vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|left|Laserbeak, unite. Operation: Panzer Unit.]]

At some point during Soundwave's imprisonment, he was provided with a group of genetically modified Activator Mini-Cons by [[Autobot High Council|an unknown group]] to collect [[Decepticon Hunter|weapons]] for him. {{storylink|Collateral Damage}} After obtaining Bumblebee's Decepticon Hunter, [[Stuntwing]] returned it through a GroundBridge portal to Soundwave. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 2)}} Soundwave dispatched [[Trickout]] through another portal to find more of the weapons, {{storylink|Defrosted}} and the Mini-Con returned to him some time later with a second Decepticon Hunter that he obtained from [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]]. {{storylink|The Great Divide}} When [[Hi-Test (RID)|Hi-Test]] returned without a weapon, Soundwave was unhappy and threatened to terminate the Mini-Con, who fled. {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}} [[Goldgear]] would later succeed where Hi-Test failed, leaving Soundwave one step closer to completing his "project". At the same time, the Autobots began to realize that there was a connection with the thefts of their Decepticon Hunters. {{storylink|Railroad Rage}}

After [[Steeljaw's Pack]] was sprung from custody by a group of mysterious "benefactors", Soundwave contacted them through a portal, revealing that he was associated with said benefactors and directing them to prepare for their arrival on Earth or face painful deactivation. {{storylink|Prepare for Departure}}

[[File:TRID E 66 Soundwave new robot mode.jpg|thumb|right|Power depleted. Suggested tactic: Retreat.]]
After [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] obtained some nuclear fuel rods, Soundwave, now reformatted to a new body and vehicle mode, used the Decepticon Hunters to escape the Shadowzone and rendezvoused with him at a demolition derby. There, he revealed a transgalactic beacon generator constructed from wreckage in the Shadowzone which he planned to use to summon Megatron back to Earth. He dismissed the resulting destruction of life on Earth as a result of the radiation from the rods as collateral damage, much to Steeljaw's disgust. Forcing Steeljaw to retreat, Soundwave proceeded to take the generator to the highest point in the city, the Crown City Bank Building. Detecting Autobots, he sent Laserbeak in pursuit of Optimus Prime before being engaged by Bumblebee's team. Using the combined Hunters weapon to freeze Bumblebee and Strongarm, he found himself being disarmed by Sideswipe before Bumblebee, freed by Grimlock, used the weapon to first cut off the ends of Soundwave's tentacles to bring him to his knees and then freeze his body. As the generator started to fire up, Soundwave declared that Megatron would return before it was suddenly destroyed by a missile from Optimus, who had linked with Hi-Test. His mission failed, Soundwave went into stasis. He was then taken back to Cybertron by Optimus onboard ''[[Prime Force One]]'' so that Soundwave could stand trial at long last. {{storylink|Collateral Damage}}

[[File:Soundwave WfC GameInformer Concept Art.jpg|upright=1.66|So Soundwave, you ever going to use that giant missile pod on your shoulder?
"Well there was that [[Spotlight: Soundwave|one time."]]|thumb]]
Soundwave took control of the orbital station [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] was posted at, helping [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] to reach the [[Dark Energon]] by establishing a forward base within the station. He then directed Megatron to a Data Matrix Center in order to find a route to the Dark Energon that had not been blocked by Starscream.

Later, Soundwave notified Megatron that access to the core was impossible, as it was guarded by the Omega Gate. He and [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] accompanied Megatron as they led the assault on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], through which they would find and take the [[Omega Key]], opening the Omega Gate and allowing the core to be infused with Dark Energon. On their way to the [[Stellar Galleries]], Soundwave reported [[sniper (WFC)|sniper]]s, and after taking them down, Megatron infused the entrance with Dark Energon and took his team into the security station. Soundwave noticed that the batteries fed the security grid, and the trio infused each of them with Dark Energon, deactivating the security measures. Soundwave then detected the Omega Key behind their next door, and after opening it, the Decepticons arrived at the Stellar Galleries. They opened the container, finding not the key, but a message from [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], who announced that he had taken the Omega Key, anticipating Megatron's plan. Zeta sent Autobot attack forces against them, but they were swiftly taken down. Megatron ordered Soundwave to trace Zeta Prime's broadcast, and Soundwave found it came from 12.7 cycles ahead. He then noted a weak wall, and the Decepticons broke it down and entered the cities' subsystems, providing a direct route to Zeta, and the Omega Key.

The group descended down a shaft and went through a tunnel, avoiding trains on the way, and after breaking down a door in a ventilation area, they were ambushed by Autobot cloakers. Soundwave dispatched them and infused Dark Energon into the batteries. Megatron congratulated him, and then ordered him to unlock the exit. Soundwave obliged, and the trio found themselves in another tunnel. Breakdown challenged Soundwave to a race, to which the Decepticon responded, in his trademark monotone, "Negative." Tough crowd. Rushing through the tunnel, this time full of moving trains, the group came to a station where they infiltrated Iacon's lower levels. Soundwave detected the Omega Key at last, and suggested proceeding through the logistics station. Roughing it through the Autobot attackers, Soundwave finally determined that the key was beyond the train tunnels.

Soundwave and his teammates arrived at Iacon's main streets, where they met up with [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]] outside of Zeta Prime's vaults, which were impervious to the small amount of Dark Energon Megatron was capable of channeling. After Megatron's squad helped Brawl clear the area, Brawl called in the Dark Energon bombers, but they were spectacularly shot down by the planetary guns. Brawl suggested disabling them, and Soundwave assisted in carrying out the plan. Autobots advanced all around, but Soundwave and the others managed to hold them off until the next wave of bombers arrived, clearing the street and destroying the Vault doors. Soundwave joined the others on their way to the entrance, but the squad was intercepted by a [[Destroyer (WFC)|Destroyer]]. Soundwave and Breakdown split from Megatron to flank him, and eventually they rendered him non-functional. Inside the vault, they avoided Zeta's traps and finally reached the Omega Key—but it too was a trap. Zeta then attacked them, using a giant hologram and controlling the chamber to his advantage, dropping the ceiling and sending holographic brutes to attack for him while safe within an impenetrable energy shield. (Even during the battle, Soundwave was impressed by the creation of endless energon clones, to which Breakdown responded, roughly, "NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD!") Soundwave's dorkiness proved useful in discerning the weakness of Zeta's machines—that the core rapidly overheated after prolonged use, and needed to open up in order to cool, rendering it vulnerable to attack. After the battle, Megatron plucked from Zeta's hand the "key"...which started to blink its lights and chirp. Zeta Prime informed them that the "key" he was actually a device that activated the real key: [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]].

As the three Decepticons flew away to track Omega, Soundwave noticed that the "key" was coming for them. Omega Supreme attacked, and thrust the Decepticons' star cruiser into a wall. Crash-landing, Megatron had a change of plans; force Omega Supreme to open the Omega Gate. Soundwave noticed a Decepticon [[Dropship (WFC)|Dropship]] across the bridge, but when the squad went to investigate, Omega Supreme intercepted them. Soundwave reported that his weapons were ineffective; Megatron told his soldiers to destroy the bridge supports, causing Omega Supreme's vast bulk to collapse it. But he transformed to his ship mode, flew back up, and forced the Decepticons to retreat inside. In a frenzy, Breakdown noted that the next door was locked, and Soundwave proposed that Dark Energon could open the door, which it did. Inside, Soundwave picked up a transmission from Starscream, who announced that he would be replacing the "deceased" Megatron as Decepticon leader. Enraged, Megatron threatened Starscream, but Soundwave informed his leader that communication to the surface had been cut off, so Starscream could not hear him.

The trio arrived at the lift, but found it to be locked down. Breaking the locks got the lift back to working condition, but on their way up, Omega Supreme returned and blasted it, forcing the Decepticons down the shaft at breakneck speed. Omega was still out there, so the emergency brakes' destruction was the Decepticons' only hope. At the bottom, they continued their journey to find a way to fight Omega Supreme—Soundwave noted that at the top of the tower were several heavy weapons emplacements which could at least theoretically damage Omega—but Omega Supreme didn't know the meaning of the word quit. (He really doesn't; not much in the processor department.) He grabbed the Decepticons, but Soundwave helped out in shooting Omega Supreme's hand, forcing him relinquishing the three from his grasp. They retreated inside a fortified Autobot position, and in order to prevent detection, Soundwave jammed their signals. Slaying the Autobots inside who dared attempt to counterattack, Soundwave unlocked the exit, which only let in more Autobots. They too, met their demise, but as Soundwave and his comrades escaped, he noticed that the Autobots' security was countering the effects of Dark Energon. Destroying the sentries turned to be a worthwhile solution, but then the Decepticons had to deal with Omega Supreme mining road. Soundwave's sensors indicated the presence of a bridge nearby, and though Breakdown was unsure, Megatron was willing to follow Soundwave's advice. Once again, Omega Supreme continued to stalk them, but Soundwave led his group to an alternate route...a dead end, to be precise, which Megatron was irritated with. Soundwave revealed that breaking a structurally-weak sealed doorway nearby took them to Iacon maintenance tunnels leading straight to the bridge terminal. When they arrived through the power conduits, Soundwave and the others fought through more Autobots and finally activated the bridge.

Racing across the bridge, they barely avoided Omega Supreme's pursuit, and Soundwave located another cargo lift that would transport them straight to the heavy ion turrets. On the lift he picked up several Autobot/Decepticon signals, a sign they were approaching the battle on the surface. Soundwave participated in the slugfest, and his analysis proved that the turrets nearby had enough firepower to legitimately damage Omega Supreme. Then, he showed no mercy using the turrets to breach Omega's armour and finally topple him to the ground below.

Soundwave, Breakdown, and Megatron followed Omega, and at the bottom, they were surprised to see him survive and transform into his mighty [[robot mode]]. Soundwave noted that energon batteries produced from within Cybertron were the source of Omega's limitless endurance, and further advised the team on battling Omega; avoiding his tractor beams would allow them to live, and his turrets were vulnerable, making them the prime target. When the turrets were blown, Soundwave saw that the batteries were being used to repair them, and so it became an objective to corrupt them with Dark Energon. When Omega Supreme used the batteries to heal himself, he was instead weakened, allowing the Decepticons to critically injure him. Omega Supreme was still alive even after all of that, but much weaker. Soundwave observed that his chest plating had been damaged, and Megatron ordered Soundwave and Breakdown to blast it, and Omega Supreme fell at last. Soundwave advised Megatron that now would be a good time to corrupt Omega with Dark Energon, but Megatron told Captain Obvious to shut up and did as he would have done even if Soundwave hadn't brought it up, laughing all the way.

After Cybertron's Core had been infected with Dark Energon, Soundwave was reassigned as head of [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]]'s prison, and watched over (i.e., tortured) Zeta Prime in his spare time. [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]], [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]], and [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] led an Autobot breakout and battled Soundwave's minions [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (WFC)|Rumble]] and [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]]. Soundwave himself sustained heavy damage leaving the safety of his position to revive and retrieve each Minicon, showing uncharaceristic concern for other living beings. Eventually, defeated and critically damaged, Soundwave desperately attempted to restore himself by absorbing life force from Zeta's very own spark. His attempt to fully heal was halted by Optimus, who even took a shot from the Decepticon intended to finish off Prime. Although Soundwave and his minions fled, the damage had already been done and Zeta Prime expired moments later. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

{{voiceactor|[[Isaac C. Singleton, Jr.]] (English)}}
Soundwave hacked into the Autobot mainframe and, while Megatron and some other Decepticons kept the Autobots distracted, downloaded intel indicating the location of the Trypticon space station. As they approached the station in Megatron's ship, Soundwave reported that the inhabitants were taking up defensive positions and docking would not be possible. Though Megatron was confident they could ram the station, Soundwave turned out to be right, and they could only get close enough to drop a small team off on the debris surrounding the station. When the station was conquered and Dark Energon in Megatron's hands, Soundwave suggested it might be a good idea to test the stuff prior to use. It turned out to be unstable, and he warned it could result in destruction of its host. The Decepticons set up Kaon Prison as a testing ground and, after eleven failures, established that the Dark Energon could be used. When Barricade asked what happened to the failures, Soundwave would only say that their remains laid in the prison and creepily ask Barricade to get in the chair so he too could be infused with Dark Energon.

Trypticon station required more power, so the Decepticons sent a team to Cybertron's core to reactivate the Energon Bridge. Soundwave did not anticipate the activation of latent defense systems, triggered by the Decepticon presence, because he hadn't studied the same ancient files as Starscream. Megatron ordered Soundwave to give Starscream whatever he needed, and they succeeded in activating the bridge. Soundwave reported that they were only at 37% power — the Autobots had severed the bridge's link to the core using the Omega Key. Lazerbeak intercepted an Autobot transmission indicating that Zeta Prime was hiding the Omega Key, and Megatron ordered Soundwave to assemble a strike force to obtain it. They managed to find and defeat the Autobot leader, but the Omega Key he had was only the key to awaken the real key — Omega Supreme. Once the Decepticons fought their way through the Autobot defenses, Soundwave reported they had reached Omega Supreme himself. The Decepticons defeated the giant, reestablished the link to the core and infused it with Dark Energon. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|War for Cybertron - Autobots/Decepticons}}

Soundwave discovers that the Autobots have infiltrated the Datacore. Megatron sends him and Barricade to take care of the intrusion. The two speed out, and Soundwave must navigate a highway overgrown with Dark Energon crystals while dealing with swarms of Aerialbots before they can shut off access to the Datacore. An Autobot Destroyer blocks Soundwave's path and brings the roof down, forcing him to take an alternate route. He makes his way to a security station and downloads the information on the Autobots' advance, radioing Barricade to meet him at the assigned coordinates. When Soundwave arrives, though, he finds Barricade in the middle of a shooting gallery. The Autobots are soon joined by an aerial Destroyer, but the pair make short work of it. Soundwave intercepts a data download but cuts it off quickly, and races to intercept the escaping Autobots. Weaving his way through Dark Energon crystals and moving walls (huh?), he reaches the intercept point in time, causing Ironhide and Bumblebee to skid out of control... and right into a fusion blast from Megatron. {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}

He took part in the assault on the factory the Autobots had built in the crater where Trypticon crashed, and once Megatron had rebuilt the giant Decepticon, came to power up Trypticon's power core. On Megatron's orders, Soundwave rebuilt Trypticon into the ''Nemesis'', a ship strong enough to make it towards [[Earth|the planet]] [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] had chosen.

Upon Optimus's approach, Soundwave boasted aloud that he had been observing the Autobot leader, and knew exactly how to defeat him! Despite Soundwave peppering the skies with laser-blasts and cluttering them with floating "aerial mines," Optimus made short work of both Soundwave and his Deployer. As Soundwave flew off, he declared that more surveillance was need, but Optimus's defeat would nonetheless be inevitable. {{storylink|Transformers Prime: Decepticon Strike|Decepticon Strike}}

*'''Cybertronian Soundwave''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' two "weapons"

: Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)#Toys|War for Cybertron]]'' Soundwave transforms into an SUV-style "communications truck", as seen in [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|the video game]]. He comes with his classic shoulder launcher and rifle, both of which can be mounted on his hands, right shoulder, and rear vehicle sides via [[5mm post]]s, and store inside his opening chest (approximating the visual of cassette spools). Soundwave's head features a [[light-piping]] gimmick, but the effect is largely neutered by his painted visor.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#United|Soundwave Cybertron Mode]] and [[Soundwave (KOU)|''Knights of Unicron'' Soundwave]].

*'''Soundwave''' (Voyager, 2012)
**''Series / Number'': '''1 / #001'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TG13'''
**''Accessories:'' Laserbeak/Data disc, shoulder cannon

: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] Voyager Class ''Generations [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' toys, Soundwave is a larger mold, and comes with a shoulder cannon which can peg (via 5mm post) into his hands, right shoulder, and roof/back.

: He also comes with [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] [[Laserbeak (WFC)#Generations|Laserbeak]], who utilizes Soundwave's main [[gimmick]], storing and launching Laserbeak and other "[[data disc]]" minions. A button to the left of his head can be pressed to open his spring-loaded chest compartment, allowing up to three data discs to be stored inside. With discs stored, his back panel/roof now acts as a plunger, which can be moved forward in either mode to launch minions out. Launched minions should land on buttons on their undersides, thus triggering their [[Flipchanger|spring-loaded transformation mechanisms]] and springing them into action! ...Hopefully.

: As an undocumented feature, the seat on his vehicle roof holds ''[[Diaclone]]'' drivers (and by virtue of similar sizes, ''[[Star Wars Transformers]]'' pilots). Additionally, Soundwave's trigger finger is molded into his left hand, presumably so he can push his own eject button.

: For some reason, his [[stock photography]] and [[instructions]] depict him with the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Optimus Prime]] toy's [[Ion blaster]] accessory, which isn't included with the final product.

: The [[TakaraTomy]] release of Soundwave, part of the fourth wave of Japanese ''Generations'' toys, features different colors, using a more purple-ish metallic shade of blue and replacing almost all of his gray parts (the exceptions being his face and "grill") with a much darker metallic shade. It also features none of the red and yellow [[paint operation|paint details]] on his arms and legs, and renders the seat on his roof black. He features new paint applications in addition to those not present from the Hasbro version.

: The Hasbro deco of Soundwave was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]] in IDW's ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comic series while the TakaraTomy deco of Soundwave was also repurposed as ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Soundwave (G1)#Cloud|Soundwave]]. This mold was [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed into [[Blaster (FOC)#Toys|Autobot Blaster]].

**''Japanese ID number'': '''AM-09'''
**''Accessories'': [[Laserbeak (WFC)#Prime|Laserbeak]], Arms Micron "[[Zori#Prime|Zori]]" (TakaraTomy only)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' toys, Soundwave transforms from a UAV not unlike the [[Wikipedia:General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper|Predator B drone]] into an angular batlike [[robot mode]]. His transformation includes a spring-loaded head that deploys automatically when his tail and thrust bottle are folded up. His vehicle mode has a [[5mm post|5mm port]] on the top of its fuselage; the robot also has 5mm sockets passing entirely through his palms. Any of these holes can mount the included Laserbeak, or he can store inside Soundwave's chest in either mode.

: In wave six of the ''Prime'' toyline, Soundwave was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' episode "[[Loose Cannons]]".

: The [[TakaraTomy]] release of Soundwave, part of the second wave of Japanese ''Prime'' product, has considerable differences from the [[Hasbro]] version. He comes with his own [[Arms Micron]], Zori, and cannons with 5mm ports and posts have been added to his wings (on his shoulders in robot mode) in order to accommodate said gimmick. Many of the Hasbro [[paint operation]]s have also been removed and replaced with numerous, small, customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s, including ones for his tiny sculpted kneecaps, which are practically guaranteed to peel off at the sides. In addition, the [[instructions]] for applying the stickers unfortunately contain an error, with the placement of stickers 14 and 15 being swapped around.

:This mold was redecoed into two [[Battle Android Trooper|Stealth B.A.T.s]] which were sold with [[Cobra Commander|Old Snake]] through the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] as a "Club Crossover" exclusive toy, also available to the G.I. Joe Collectors' Club.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime:]] [[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Soundwave is a redeco and extensive [[retool]] of the ''Robots in Disguise'' Soundwave mold, and transforms into a spiky aerial drone with a massive wingspan and three tail-fins. Aside from the usual peg-holes on his fuselage and palms, his wings have been retooled with two new peg-holes, with one on each wing. Instead of Laserbeak, Soundwave features a new partner in the form of Ravage, who is a robotic jaguar that transforms into a thing that fits into Soundwave's chest.

:Soundwave also comes with the "[[Talon Grapple Cannon]]", a spring-loaded launcher that fires a [[missile]] with an opening "claw" at the end, with the missile and launcher being tied together with a length of string. The launcher itself features an additional peg on each side, and its main peg is sculpted to be able to fit in the specially-shaped socket on his chest, allowing the cannon to mount on his vehicle mode underside when Ravage is removed.

:His instructions include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 2|second chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series.

:This toy also served as the basis of the non-toy ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' incarnation of [[Botanica (BM)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Botanica]].

**''Series / Number'': '''3 / 005'''
**''Accessories'': Sonic Saw

: Part of the second wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' [[Cyberverse#Series 3|Series 3 Cyberverse]] Legion Class toys, Soundwave is a smaller-scale toy. He comes with a "Sonic Saw" rifle with a chainsaw bayonet, and the weapon features four [[C joint|3mm posts]] and two ports, allowing it to peg onto any of the ports on Soundwave's hands, forearms/wings, and back/fuselage. This weapon, in varying colors, was also used by [[Hun-Gurrr (Prime)|Hun-Gurrr]], [[Smokescreen (Prime)#Cyberverse|Smokescreen]], and the [[Vehicon (Prime)#CyberverseAir|Air Vehicon]].

: Although the paint operations for the head and the "collar" are mostly [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]], the fact that the black paint operations also include the [[mouthplate]] (which is silver on the [[character model|animation model]]), combined with the purple paint operations on each side of the mouthplate, makes it look as if Soundwave had a huge black head with two purple eyes. This was later amended to some degree by a [[Variant|running change]] that gave the face a slightly darker, more glossy paint job. Soundwave was later redecoed as ''The Last Knight'' [[Ravenspar]].

: In 2017, this Soundwave also saw release as a one of the 3 random free Legion Class gifts for the Walmart exclusive Blu-Ray release of the [[Transformers (film)|four]] [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|live]]-[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|action]] [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|movies]].

The paint mask is mostly identical, with the only exception being the head: TakaraTomy's version ditches show-accuracy and instead limits the black paint operation to the mouthplace, which helps making it more obvious where exactly the head ends.<ref name="cvezcomp">[http://ofensau.wordpress.com/2014/06/04/beast-hunters-cyberverse-legion-class-soundwave-vs-ez-collection-soundwave/ Beast Hunters Cyberverse Legion Class Soundwave vs. EZ Collection Soundwave]</ref>

**''Accessories:'' Shoulder cannon

:Part of the ''[[Combiner Force]]'' subline imprint of the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' toyline, Soundwave transforms from chunky robot into a Cybertronian armored truck. His package art shows his head with the addition of a faceplate, for more of a [[Soundwave (G1)|Generation 1 look]]; this design is known to exist as a pretooled alternate head for the toy, thanks to a (thus far) one-off misassembled figure using it. Although this is undocumented, the shoulder cannon can be hidden inside the truck mode by sliding it between Soundwave's thighs and securing it with the hollows of his feet.

:The shoulder cannon has its own swivel joint, allowing it to angle up (but not down), and can be rotated in the socket. It can also be removed and placed in Soundwave's hand, with some difficulty; however, without the shoulder turret in place, Soundwave's upper torso has a tendency to swing forward.

==Notes==
[[File:TfprimeSoundwavePredator.jpg|thumb|But can he replay footage of "[[Operation: Firestorm]]"?]]
[[File:VectorSigmaBotBuilderSoundwave.jpg|thumb|Deep Desert Soundwave.]]
*In ''War for Cybertron'', Soundwave transforms into a Cybertronian truck during gameplay, and his toy does the same, having only one [[alternate mode]]. However, the game also features a Cybertronian boombox mode, seen during a cutscene and the credits (in addition to a commercial for the Shockwave pre-order bonus), which the toy can approximate with some fiddling. In a ''Fall of Cybertron'' easter egg, he also briefly adopts a Cybertronian lamp post, in homage to [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1|the first episode of the Generation 1 cartoon]].
*Despite his toy and concept art appearance, Soundwave has a [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Generation 1|yellow]] visor in the War for Cybertron game. This was changed to red for the Fall of Cybertron sequel (perhaps displaying, in-universe, his furthered dedication to the Decepticon cause?).
*According to the [[Transformers Hall of Fame]] biography, Soundwave [[Perceptor (Animated)|deleted his emotions to process information more quickly]], and is susceptible to [[Cyber Missions 1|too many sonic booms]].
*[[Duane Capizzi]] said Soundwave can speak, but just chooses not to for his many appearances in ''Prime'' and his ''Robots in Disguise'' debut. The decision was to contrast Soundwave with the overly talkative Starscream,<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/bonus-q--a-with-transformers-prime-creators---answered-171430/ TFW2005 Q&A January 2011]</ref> and at [[BotCon 2011]], the staff compared Soundwave to [[Boba Fett]]. Instead, he records what he overhears and replays it with a mechanical echo that is very similar to the echo of his G1 counterpart. <s>Sorry, [[Frank Welker|Frank]], only [[Megatron (WFC)|one character]] for now...</s> But when he ''does'' talk in "Minus One", he sounds a lot like Frank Welker. Surprisingly, Soundwave drops his vow of silence altogether in his later appearances in the "[[Combiner Force]]" portion of ''Robots in Disguise''.
*Soundwave's prehensile tentacles are reminiscent of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|another Soundwave]], although they are significantly less naughty.
*Soundwave's body parts are available to use in the Hub website's [[Vector Sigma Bot Builder]] online game. Normally, you cannot configure a generic 'bot using all Soundwave parts, but you can see what one would look like at right through the magic of Photoshop.
*The manner in which Soundwave deploys Laserbeak in ''Transformers: Prime'' is similar to that the [[Breastforce]] from ''Transformers: Victory''.
*In one of the rare noticeable instances of physical change within the "Aligned" continuity family, Soundwave's appearance in ''Combiner Force'' is heavily influenced by his ''War for Cybertron'' body, though he retains his head design from ''Prime''.

===Arms Up Modes===
In the Japanese ''Prime'' toyline, Soundwave has named powered-up modes when given various [[Arms Micron]]s in certain configurations:

*'''Night Attack Mode''' (ナイトアタックモード ''Naito Atakku Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': Balo, Jida, Zori
: In this mode, shown on his box-back photo, Soundwave uses the two-Micron weapon [[Spike Hammer Rod]], while [[Jida]] in "Defense Shield" mode hangs on his left shoulder. What exactly makes all this ideal for nighttime attacks is anyone's guess.

*'''Jet Mode''' (ジェットモード ''Jetto Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': Gora (x2), Zori
: Meant simply for flying in fast and blowing crap up, this heavily modified version of Soundwave requires some real work. Because of all the recycled non-''Transformers'' parts in this mode, TakaraTomy designer [[Takashi Nakase]] has nicknamed this version "Recycle Mode". Two jet thruster/fuel tanks are created using bottles from a Japanese "common yogurt drink" and a pair of [[Gora]]s painted up silver, with snipped Arms Micron sprues added on for detail. Soundwave also carries a large weapon made from Zori, a plastic fork, and more sprues. Yes, a plastic fork. You read that correctly.
: There is also a vehicle mode configuration for this Arms Up Mode, with the massive turbines on the end of Soundwave's wings and the weapon on top of the main body. The whole shebang can be seen [http://youtu.be/QJUMhgggH-Q in this TakaraTomy developer video on YouTube].

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Soundwave''' (サウンドウェーブ ''Saundowēbu''), '''Soundblaster''' (サウンドブラスター ''Saundoburasutā'')
*''Mandarin:'' '''Shēng-pō''' (Taiwan, 聲波, "Soundwave"), '''Shēngbō''' (China, 声波, "Soundwave")
*''Russian:'' '''Barkhan''' (Бархан, "Dune")

As the [[Autobot High Council]] met to discuss the immenent success of their plans, Cyberwarp was the lone member to express concern, asking why the rest of the galaxy had to suffer for Cybertron's ascension, and worrying that Cyclonus was enjoying himself too much when it came to that suffering. However, with Cyclonus urging her to "play her part", she acquiesced to continue with the plan. When the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] and [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] arrived on Cybertron, they were greeted by a video broadcast of Cyberwarp proclaiming the High Council's propaganda on every video board around [[Kaon Plaza]]. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}} She continued to transmit her propaganda messages until she hesitated, forcing Cyclonus to step in and finish. When the Bee Team infiltrated the Council Building, they removed Cyberwarp’s [[Light Bender]] device, revealing the true colors of both her and her cohorts.

[[File:FreedomFighters-differences.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Bots, why must we fight, we are not enemies!]]

In the battle that ensued, she stood on the sidelines unsure of what to do; obey Cyclonus or do what she felt was best. Eventually, Cyclonus had enough and forced her to join him in combining into Galvatronus. At first, she was reluctantly compliant, but just when Ultra Bee was about to be done in, she stopped and prevented Galvatronus from using his right arm. After they separated, an exhausted Cyberwarp told Bumblebee that surely there was a way that Autobots and Decepticons could coexist peacefully. {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}}

: Cyberwarp uses the universal connector joint shared by all Team Combiners and [[Crash Combiner]]s, but since she can ''only'' form an arm in combined mode, this can lead to some ''interesting''-looking combinations.

: She is a [[retool]] of her teammate [[Skyjack (RID)#Toys|Skyjack]], with a different headsculpt. There is a mismatch between the two's decos: Cyberwarp's art shows her with yellow piping, but the toy has green, while Skyjack has the reverse issue.

'''Cyclonus''' is, on the face of it, an extremely loyal and efficient air warrior in the Decepticon army. His chilling voice speaks of the destruction that they will rain down on their enemies, and he delights in his cruelty.

However, his career is not exactly as glorious as his boasts suggest. In the past, he's turned and ran with his tailfins between his legs when things got out of his control.

For Steeljaw [[Steeljaw's Pack|and his pack]], Cyclonus and the rest of the Council broke him out of imprisonment to torment the Autobots on Earth as a distraction. {{storylink|Exiles}} For Soundwave, they genetically reprogrammed a small group of [[Mini-Con]]s to bring him three [[Decepticon Hunter]]s to free him from the [[Shadowzone (dimension)|Shadowzone]] and reformat him; they also gave him the directive to summon back Megatron to lead their conquest of Cybertron. {{storylink|Collateral Damage}}

With their plans reaching fruition, Cyberwarp asked why [[alien]]s had to suffer for Cybertron's ascension to which Cyclonus responded that they didn't ''have'' to suffer. It was just a happy bonus before he told her to play her part and make a broadcast. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

When Cyberwarp hesitated in making her broadcast, Cyclonus took over and finished it before shooting down her concerns about morality and ordering [[Skyjack (RID)|Skyjack]] to activate the [[Space bridge|Space Bridge]] to [[Earth]]. The [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] infiltrated the Council chambers however and destroyed the Light Bender to which Cyclonus ordered an attack over Cyberwarp's protests. When fighting the Autobots one-on-one failed, Cyclonus ordered his troops to combine into [[Galvatronus (RID)|Galvatronus]]. Cyberwarp's reservations however allowed [[Ultra Bee]] to defeat them, separating them back into their individual robot modes. {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}}

[[File:TRID E 51 Dragstrip RM.jpg|thumb|right|320px|"Wildbreak, my Pebbles!"]]

'''Dragstrip''' (or '''Drag Strip''') is always looking for a way to get ahead. Vicious and opportunistic, it doesn't take much for him to set his sights on higher and higher prizes... even if it means selling out his fellow [[Stunticon (Prime)|Stunticon]]s. He's not the brightest or the strongest Decepticon around, but he's ''just'' bright enough and ''just'' strong enough to be a major pain in the rear axle. And with a [[Nitro Booster|nitro-powered booster-rocket]] available in both vehicle and robot mode, chasing him is a risky prospect.

Often he finds himself paired with the considerably weaker-strutted [[Wildbreak]], who he has to browbeat and threaten on a regular basis to get their job done. When the two combine into "[[Dragbreak]]", Dragstrip is the one in command of the combiner mode's motor functions. The two of them can combine further with their fellow Stunticons to form [[Menasor (RID)|Menasor]].

Drag Strip borrowed [[Motormaster (WFC)|Motormaster]]'s [[Cybertronian technology finder|Cybertronian technology detector]], intending to use it to find something to get himself in his boss's good graces. He and Wildbreak headed to the human city of [[West Rock]] and broke into a cache of Cybertronian loot. Despite a few minor setbacks involving Drag Strip being frozen solid, they were packing to leave when [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s team turned up. The two Cons eventually managed to give them the slip, but discovered that the Autobots had shut off the only bridge accessing the city.

Having gotten his hands on a Cybertronian relic, Drag Strip was pursued by the Autobots until he caught them in a methane explosion. He returned to Motormaster with the relic, which turned out to be a [[Gravitic Adjuster]] when he tried it out on Wildbreak. Sent to cause some havoc with the device, Drag Strip attacked a State Trooper station, successfully drawing out the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]]. Though the Adjuster gave him an edge, he was eventually defeated by the two [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipes]] (long story) and the Autobots relieved him of his new weapon. {{storylink|The Great Divide}}

Wildbreak joined Drag Strip in trying to track down some Cybertronian tech so they could get themselves into [[Motormaster (WFC)|Motormaster]]'s good graces. They were led to the human city of [[West Rock]] where they broke into a cache of Cybertronian loot. They were packing up the loot to leave when [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s team turned up and on hearing they had a [[Dinobot (RID)|Dinobot]], Wildbreak immediately fled. The two Cons eventually managed to give the Autobots the slip, but discovered that [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] had shut off the only bridge accessing the city. The pair merged into Dragbreak to fight the Autobots atop a parking building — though initially successful, they were ultimately defeated when Bumblebee dropped the roof on them. When the damaged parking structure partially collapsed, they were able to make good their escape. {{storylink|Bee Cool}}

Wildbreak was hanging out at the abandoned base Motormaster was using as a hideout when Drag Strip returned with a pilfered [[Gravitic Adjuster]]. His overly-gleeful teammate used the weapon on him as a demonstration of its power, until Motormaster called him off. {{storylink|The Great Divide}}

Wildbreak, along with the other Stunticons (minus Motormaster), entered the Crown City Grand Prix, aiming for one of them to win and be crowned “Ruler of the Roads,” as part of their campaign to conquer Earth’s highways. Drag Strip and Wildbreak worked together for the majority of the race, and were forced to fend off Strongarm (who was stuck in Bumblebee’s body). However, Drag Strip’s ambitions of winning the race with Wildbreak as his backup were thwarted when the Autobots redirected two of [[Heatseeker]]’s missiles back at the Stunticons, allowing [[Casey (RID)|Crasher Casey]] to remain undefeated. {{storylink|Disordered Personalities}}

After having some fun chasing off a human police car, Wildbreak and the other Stunticons were confronted by Motormaster, who accused them of taking too long to conquer Earth’s roads. {{storylink|The Golden Knight}}

Wildbreak was with the other Stunticons, pushing human cars off the highway, when they were passed by a maglev train. Wildbreak described the train as “beautiful,” but Motormaster was outraged that a vehicle existed that was faster than him, and ordered the Stunticons to steal its power source. They broke into the trainyard to follow his orders, but while they were trying to remove the engine from one of the maglev trains, Grimlock accidentally ran into the control tower, causing the train to start moving at high speed with the Stunticons, [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] along for the ride. During the ensuing battle, Wildbreak was eventually shoved overboard. Later, he tried to explain to Motormaster that they “gave it their best shot,” earning him a hit from Drag Strip. {{storylink|Railroad Rage}}

Wildbreak and the other Stunticons were on the receiving end of an angry monologue from Motormaster on their team’s failure to defeat the Autobots. After they ran a tanker truck off the road to bait the Autobots to their location, Wildbreak joined the Stunticons in combining into Menasor, taking his spot as the combiner’s left arm. Knocking the Autobots off a cliff, Menasor went to attack a human military base, intending to turn its meteor deflection system on the Autobots. However, his plan was thwarted when the Autobots managed to form [[Ultra Bee|their own combiner]], turning the meteor deflection dish on him instead and sending him flying into the distance. {{storylink|Combine and Conquer}}

Wildbreak went with [[Slashmark]] to search for Cybertronian technology, and ended up stumbling upon the Autobots’ base. The two of them observed the Autobots departing into space, and reported this to Motormaster, who decided the Stunticons should follow them up there. After a brief space battle, the Stunticons’ tech detector led them to the same cache the Autobots were after, on the surface of the moon. Once there, Motormaster ordered Wildbreak and the other Stunticons to finish off the Autobots while he investigated the cache, but they were too curious to find out what was in it and followed him instead. They promptly combined into Menasor, broke into the cache, and claimed the plasma thermal accelerator module therein. With the help of this upgrade, Menasor knocked the Autobots back and attempted to destroy their ship, but they combined into Ultra Bee and destroyed the plasma module, allowing them to defeat him. Wildbreak and his fellow Stunticons were then put into stasis pods and taken by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Moon Breaker}}

*Wildbreak's name makes him seem like a stand-in for classic [[Stunticon (G1)|Generation 1 Stunticon]] [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]], given the way it amalgamates Wildrider's original moniker with his [[trademark]]-mandated alternate name "Brake-Neck." In all other respects, though, he's really more of an expy for [[Breakdown (G1)|Generation 1 Breakdown]] (whose name has already been taken by [[Breakdown (WFC)|another "Aligned" continuity]] character), sharing his skittish personality, and his power to generate disruptive vibrational fields.

[[File:TRID E 47 Heatseeker Robot Mode.jpg|thumb|left|200px|]]

Heatseeker was assigned to claim [[Grand Valley]] as Stunticon territory by [[Motormaster (WFC)|Motormaster]]. His tangling with some cops alerted Team Bee, who deployed [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] in response to the situation, but after toying with them for a while, Heatseeker easily lost them by collapsing a tunnel on them. Taking up a position at the top of a rocky outcropping, he began firing guided missiles at them. When the Autobots managed to get the missiles to slam into each other and hid, Heatseeker held his position and waited for them to come out again. When [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Drift (RID)|Drift]], and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] arrived as backup, they were unaware that Heatseeker had already spotted them, and the Stunticon fired off five more missiles, which threatened to detonate a nuclear waste disposal site close by. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 1)}} Heatseeker's missile attack was thwarted when Drift, recognizing the type of missile used, quickly instructed Team Bee how to use their comms to scramble and disable the missiles' detonators. Heatseeker retreated, chased by Bumblebee, Drift, and (eventually) Grimlock.

[[File:TRID E 47 Heatseeker Vehicle Mode.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The V-Stacks were in Arkansas at the Munitions Factory. They were there to collect explosives for the navy. It was a very dangerous operation, but worth a great deal of money to Motormaster, who had put Heatseeker in charge.]]
He laid a trap in the form of a huge number of oil-filled barrels scattered around a disused gas station, using his missiles to detonate them. Unable to use their now-malfunctioning comms to disable the missiles, the Autobots were kept running for cover. Thanks to the intervention of a [[Stuntwing|mysterious Mini-Con]], Heatseeker was once again forced to run, returning to the edge of the waste disposal site.

Encountering a lone [[Hermit|human]], Heatseeker intended to use him for leverage, but he didn't have the chance before the Autobots arrived and surrounded him. Heatseeker prepared another missile barrage, but was quickly dog-piled. One massive explosion later, Heatseeker opted to cut and run while the Autobots were unconscious. As he sped past the gas station, he noticed a Cybertronian tracking device in a crater, and quickly decided this would be the perfect way to lie to Motormaster about just ''why'' he had left his post, presenting it as a gift. Motormaster was unimpressed, but Heatseeker was able to talk him around. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 2)}}

Heatseeker joined his fellow Stunticons in the Crown City Grand Prix, believing that the "Ruler of the Roads" title awarded to its winner was literal. Disdainful of the "squishies" he was competing against, he revealed himself to Grimlock (temporarily swapped into Drift's body), and then proceeded to duel with the Autobot, attempting to push him off a cliff before spinning him out. As the race approached its finish, he launched his missiles at [[Casey (RID)|Casey]] in an attempt to give [[Dragstrip (WFC)|Drag Strip]] and [[Wildbreak]] a clear run for the win, only for the Autobots to dupe the missiles into doubling back and nailing the three Stunticons themselves. {{storylink|Disordered Personalities}}

[[File:RiD2015 - The Golden Knight - Heatmark and company.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"If I'm not the star of your next project, then no-one will be. "]]
Recovering from the setback, Heatseeker joined his fellow Stunticons in running the humans out of [[Star Visitor Estates]], followed by his Crash Combining with [[Slashmark]] to celebrate their victory. They were then joined by Motormaster, who was less than impressed at the pace of their conquering of Earth's roads. {{storylink|The Golden Knight}}

Along with the other Stunticons, Heatseeker went on a joyride across the roads to assert their dominance over Earth, but a impressively fast train caught the attention and ire of Motormaster, who demanded the engine of the offending machine. Heatseeker and the other Stunticons met the Bee Team on the way to their objective but met their defeat during a brawl on top of the speeding vehicle. Motormaster took their report of failure badly and loomed ominously over his underlings, stating that he had various ideas of how they could make up for the loss. {{storylink|Railroad Rage}}

: Available only in the [[Menasor (RID)#Toys|Menasor]] Team Combiner 5-pack, this version of Heatseeker transforms into an off-road vehicle of made-up model in a few simple steps. He can also convert into a leg for a Team Combiner super-robot, though his nominal placement is as the left leg of Menasor.

: Heetseeker uses the universal connector joint shared by all Team Combiners and [[Crash Combiner]]s, but since he can ''only'' form a leg in combined mode, this can lead to some ''interesting''-looking combinations.

: He is a [[retool]] of his teammate [[Slashmark#Toys|Slashmark]], with a different headsculpt.

[[File:TRID E 57 Motormaster RM.jpg|right|thumb|350px|"I am the Motormaster, and you will obey me."]]

'''Motormaster''' has a very simple goal: to be the king of the road. ''Very'' simple. Some might argue "simple to the point of stupid". His ambitions don't seem to get much higher than that, and just what exactly "king of the road" entails is similarly vague. What is certain though is that it involves smashing anything in his way, smashing anything that annoys him, and just generally smashing things. And this hulking semi has the muscle to do so with ease.

The leader of the [[Stunticon (Prime)|Stunticon]]s, Motormaster leads primarily through threats of violence followed by violence. His subordinates are scared oil-less of him, which is close to loyalty, but not quite. When even his conisderable strength isn't enough to get the smashing done, he can combine with his lackeys to form the walking demolition derby [[Menasor (RID)|Menasor]].

After [[Heatseeker]] found [[Cybertronian technology finder|a device]] which could help track Cybertronian tech, he reported back to Motormaster. Though not exactly happy with the failure of Heatseeker's ''assigned'' mission, Motormaster accepted the device, plotting to stock up on tech to help the Stunticons control the roads of Earth. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 2)}} [[Dragstrip (WFC)|Drag Strip]] later managed to acquire the device so that he and [[Wildbreak]] could get in Motormaster's good graces.{{storylink|Bee Cool}}

Drag Strip presented a [[Gravitic Adjuster]] to Motormaster that he tested on Wildbreak before Motormaster called his minion off and promptly sent him to stir up some trouble to show Autobots and humans alike that the Stunticons meant business. {{storylink|The Great Divide}} As Heatseeker, Drag Strip, Wildbreak, and [[Slashmark]] raced in the [[Crown City Grand Prix]], Drag Strip thought about keeping the title of "Ruler of the Roads" to himself; Wildbreak replied that Motormaster would most likely run Drag Strip over, back up, and run him over again. {{storylink|Disordered Personalities}}

When his subordinate Stunticons were on a mission to clear the humans off of the roads of [[Star Visitor Estates]], Motormaster unexpectedly joined them, declaring that he was dissatisfied with their performance at taking over Earth's roads and, therefore, he would show them how things were done ''himself''. {{storylink|The Golden Knight}}

[[File:TRID E 59 Motormaster VM.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"I have too few worthy opponents. When they've gone I always miss them."]]
Accompanying the Stunticons on a road-claiming mission, Motormaster boasted that no vehicles on Earth were faster than the Stunticons - just in time for a maglev train to pass them. Declaring that he would not abide anything being faster than him, he ordered the Stunticons to retrieve its engine. After they were thwarted by the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]], he answered Drag Strip's offer of "making it up to him somehow" by declaring he had ''many'' ideas for how they could do so. {{storylink|Railroad Rage}}

Motormaster was responsible for a strange signal coming from the collapsing sewers, prompting the Decepticons to investigate just what was going on down there. After watching them trash the sewer system, he decided that they were his kind of robots... but there was going to be a rumble anyway! Motormaster put up a pretty good fight, but after the Decepticons bested him, he offered his services as a terrorist to their cause. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|War for Cybertron — Autobots/Decepticons}}

The fearsome '''Menasor''' is the combined form of [[Motormaster (WFC)|Motormaster]], [[Heatseeker]], [[Wildbreak]], [[Dragstrip (WFC)|Dragstrip]], and [[Slashmark]]. His powerful body has the combined strength of his [[Stunticon (Prime)|Stunticon]] components, but using it can be a challenge. Being formed from five 'Cons who have clashing personalities and at best a low tolerance for each other, Menasor's coordination can be considerably hampered. Menasor spends more time yelling orders at his components than roaring threats at his enemies. But when he can get his act together, there is practically nothing he can't flatten.

To show the Bee Team that he meant business, Motormaster ordered his underlings to combine with him forming Menasor. It was a terrifying sight for the Autobots...until he got his sword stuck in the ground. Menasor began barking orders to his arms and belittling them for their incompetence, allowing the Bee Team to escape. After finally freeing his weapon, he made straight to a human military base. He made short work of the autonomous defense tanks, expressing disdain that there was no squishies for him him to squash. He was promptly surprised when [[Ultra Bee]] made an appearance, kicking Menasor to the ground. However, he quickly got the upper servo once more as Ultra Bee struggled with learning any new attacks. He was about to land a final strike against the Autobot when Ultra Bee aimed the asteroid deflector satellite at Menasor, sending him blasting off into the horizon. {{storylink|Combine and Conquer}}

: Each toy uses the same universal combination joint as the other Team Combiners and the [[Crash Combiner]]s, which can lead to some... ''interesting'' combinations, given that most robots form very specific body parts when combined. Mixing Crash Combiners with Team Combiners leads to some ''especially'' weird results.

'''The Bee Team finds themselves struggling to contain the Stunticon while trying to avoid catastrophe at a nuclear waste disposal site.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:TRID S3 E2 KOTH SC 1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|''You are feeling very sleepy...'']]
As five guided missiles head towards them, the [[Autobot]]s turn tail to try to draw them away from the nuclear waste disposal site in [[Grand Valley]], but swiftly realize [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] is lagging behind. [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] fortunately recognizes the type of missile and the Autobots are able to use their comms to remotely short out the detonators. That dealt with, they return to the task of apprehending the [[Stunticon (Prime)|Stunticon]] and start making their way towards his hiding place on a rocky outcropping.

[[Russell Clay|Russell]]'s football game is not going well, and he dejectedly leaves the field, believing he can't make a field goal while the opposing team has that one really tall kid.

[[File:TRID S3 E2 KOTH SC 2.jpg|thumb|right|250px|This is how Bumblebee starts the day.]]
When [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] and [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] reveal that they encountered a hermit before, [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] tells them to go make sure he leaves the area. The Autobots split up, with Bumblebee and Drift finding their path goes through a disused gas station. Observed by [[Stuntwing|the mysterious Mini-Con]], the pair start making their way across, only to find the Stunticon's scattered oil-filled barrels around. The boastful [[Heatseeker]] appears and starts blowing the barrels up with missiles, forcing the pair to take cover.

Strongarm and Sideswipe find the hermit, who is still determined to find some aliens. Sideswipe takes the initiative to transform to robot mode and reveal that ''he's'' an alien. The hermit is about to go contact the Army, but when the pair try to talk him out of it, he concludes he's hallucinating due to being drugged by the government, and drives off in panic.

[[File:TRID S3 E2 KOTH SC 3.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...a car?]]
As Grimlock joins Bumblebee and Drift, Bumblebee asks him to create a distraction. Grimlock charges at Heatseeker and quickly gets knocked around by exploding barrels, but this successfully allows his fellow bots to sneak up behind the Stunticon. Heatseeker takes out Drift using a stunt flip, then sends Bumblebee hurtling into a huge pool of oil. Bumblebee desperately tries to get traction with his tires as a missile streaks towards him... and then suddenly the Mini-Con links with him, giving his vehicle mode flight capability.

Russell packs away his helmet, and when [[Hank]] questions him, he claims he's injured his ankle. [[Denny Clay|Denny]] sits down and tells Russel about his days as a straight-A student, and the emotional crash of the day he got a D... and then how he refused to allow himself to wallow in that setback, and got right back to working hard and making good grades (and ''then'' sell vintage stuff to discerning collectors).

Bumblebee takes a moment to enjoy his new flight mode before trying to question the Mini-Con. He doesn't get anywhere before more of Heatseeker's missiles appear. The rest of the Autobots pick Drift up and observe Bumblebee's flight as he shakes the missiles. They all head after Heatseeker, who's found the hermit trying to fix his broken-down RV. They manage to surround the Stunticon, letting the hermit escape. The cornered Heatseeker prepares to fire more missiles, and the Autobots dogpile him quickly, but not quick enough to stop his armed missiles from detonating right in the middle of the pile of bodies. As the smoke clears, Heatseeker has run for it, and the Bee Team is unconscious... and merged into [[Ultra Bee|one big robot]].

Heatseeker continues to run for it, but as he passes by the abandoned gas station, he notices [[Cybertronian technology finder|a half-buried piece of Cybertronian technology]].

[[File:TRID S3 E2 KOTH SC 4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|It's easier to be purple, than it is to be green.]]
Russell returns to the football game, realizing that giving up really isn't an option, volunteering to kick a field goal. He talks to Hank about adjusting their strategy, and with a little change in their setup, he's able to clear the extremely tall kid and score the winning field goal.

The combiner decombines, and the Autobots regain consciousness none-the-wiser as to what's happened. As they try to work out what's happened, Bumblebee realizes his [[Decepticon Hunter]] is missing, and they decide to head home and prepare for future confrontations.

Heatseeker meets with [[Motormaster (WFC)|his chief]], who is not happy with the Stunticon's return. But Heatseeker quickly lies about why he's back, omitting the whole "Autobots beat him up" thing and showing off the new technology-tracking device he found.

Meanwhile, the Mini-Con, in possession of the missing Decepticon Hunter, opens a ''purple'' [[GroundBridge]] portal through which the voice of [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] orders him to bring the weapon.

==Quotes==
"Hi guys! I'm alive!"
:—'''Grimlock''' tries out for the role of Captain Obvious

"No, you're not aliens. No visitors from another planet would disguise themselves as flashy cars!"
:—The '''hermit''' displays impeccable logic.

"You know... I was a good student, when I was your age. Got all A's. But then, I got a D. It floored me, for a long time after that. I didn't think I could ever get an A again." 
"So you quit school and started a successful business selling vintage stuff?" 
"Nnnnoooo... I realized that if I quit then, I could find a reason to quit ''anything'' for the rest of my life, and I didn't wanna do that. So I went back, figured out what I was doing wrong, and ''worked at it''. Hard. And I started getting A's again. ...and after I graduated, ''then'' I started a successful business selling vintage stuff."
:—'''Denny''' gets a little real with '''Russell'''

"Chief. It ''finds Cybertronian tech''. And there's tons of it on this mudball!"
:—'''Heatseeker''' tells Motormaster that scavenger hunting never changes.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* Sideswipe mulls over what affects the area's background radiation might have on them. This actually does come up [[The Great Divide |later]]....
* The fact that Earth seems to be nothing less than Cybertron's favorite dumpster for various artifacts and relics has been a continuing (and, some would say, ''tiring'') thing since [[Masters & Students|the sixth episode]] of ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]''.
* Soundwave was trapped in the [[Shadowzone (dimension)|Shadowzone]] waaay back in the ''Prime'' episode "[[Deadlock]]", and escaped briefly in "[[Portals]]" before being chucked back in by the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]].

===Transformers references===
* Sideswipe makes an approximation of the classic transformation noise while transforming in front of the hermit.

===Real-world references===
* (tbd)

===Errors===
* When the Bee Team de-combines, Strongarm and Sideswipe are in different positions than they were in as parts of the recumbent combiner: right-arm Strongarm ends up to the left of Bee, and left-arm Sideswipe on Bee's right. Drift also, well, drifts from where he should be as a sword held in Ultrabee's left hand, but not as egregiously.

===Trivia===
* Drift notes that an explosion atop the nuclear waste facility could potentially cause the storage drums to leak, and later implies that radiation from the storage site is what is interfering with their communications. However, the entire point of a storage site is to have the waste drums buried ''deep'' underground where the radiation, if there was any escaping in the first place, would be absorbed by the soil and rock between the storage levels and the surface.
* Before this episode the only time Soundwave spoke in his own voice in the Aligned cartoons was in "[[Minus One]]", for the purpose of trolling his Autobot captors. Apparently his "choosing not to speak" thing has been dismissed in the name of efficient communication with his new minions.

===Continuity notes===
*''Nearly seventy'' Autobot profile images flash past as Optimus describes the 'bots who are wanted for associating with him. The list includes the obvious characters, like the cast of ''Robots in Disguise'' (Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Strongarm, Grimlock, Fixit, Drift, [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]], [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]], Windblade and Jazz), his old ''Prime'' team (Ratchet, Bulkhead, [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]], and [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]]), and the complete compliment of Rescue Bots ([[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]], [[Chase (RB)|Chase]], [[Blades (RB)|Blades]], [[Boulder]], [[High Tide]], [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]], [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]], and [[Quickshadow]]).
**As for the many, ''many'' others, most of whom have not appeared in animated or cartoon form in the [[Aligned continuity family]] before now, and some who have never even appeared ''at all'' in an Aligned form before now! As of this writing, the lack of a full high-resolution version of the episode means not every character has been identified, and indeed, may not be identifiable even ''at'' the highest resolution because of how small their image is, but the aim seems to be to feature a complete roster of classic [[Autobot Cars]] and [[Mini Vehicle]]s from [[1984]] through to [[1986]], with a few other famous classic characters thrown in. Identified 'bots include: [[Rodimus (WFC)|Rodimus]], [[Kup (WFC)|Kup]], [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]], [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]], [[Sunstreaker (Pop-Up)|Sunstreaker]], [[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]], [[Swerve (Prime)|Swerve]], [[Trailbreaker (Prime)|Trailbreaker]], [[Elita One (COP)|Elita One]], [[Firestar (Prime)|Firestar]], [[Gears (ROTDS)|Gears]], [[Inferno (Pop-Up)|Inferno]], [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]], [[Tailgate (Prime)|Tailgate]], [[Mirage (Prime)|Mirage]], [[Springer (WFC)|Springer]], [[Wreck-Gar (Prime)|Wreck-Gar]], [[Windcharger (ROTDS)|Windcharger]], and [[Seaspray (Prime)|Seaspray]]. Identified 'bots who are appearing for the first time in the aligned form include: [[Tracks (RID)|Tracks]], [[Red Alert (RID 2015)|Red Alert]], [[Pipes (RID)|Pipes]], and [[Skids (RID)|Skids]].
*It is revealed that the reason the High Council is constantly oppressing Optimus Prime and his associates is because the High Council is run by the Decepticons, perfectly explaining why they blame Optimus Prime for Cybertron's death: they still believe Megatron's lie that Prime did it, even though it was Megatron who killed the planet by corrupting the core with [[Dark Energon]].

**In contrast to being an altered version of [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] as shown in ''Prime'', Tailgate is shown having a ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|MTMTE]]''-inspired body style his [[Tailgate (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]] employs. This could be an earlier version of his body.

* '''Galvatronus''' (Team Combiner, 2017)

: Available only in the [[Galvatronus (RID)#Toys|Galvatronus]] Team Combiner 5-pack, Riotgear transforms into a Cybertronian off-road vehicle in a few simple steps. He can also convert into a leg for a Team Combiner super-robot, though his nominal placement is as the left leg of Galvatronus.

: He is a [[retool]] of his teammate [[Treadshock#Toys|Treadshock]], with a different headsculpt.

: Riotgear uses the universal connector joint shared by all Team Combiners and [[Crash Combiner]]s, but since he can ''only'' form a leg in combined mode, this can lead to some ''interesting''-looking combinations.

* '''Galvatronus''' (Team Combiner, 2017)

: Available only in the [[Galvatronus (RID)#Toys|Galvatronus]] Team Combiner 5-pack, Skyjack transforms into a Cybertronian VTOL-pod in a few simple steps. In vehicle mode, she has a [[5mm post]]-hole on her roof to mount accessories and Weaponizer [[Mini-Con]]s. She can also convert into an arm for any Team Combiner super-robot, though her nominal placement is as the left arm of Galvatronus.

: Skyjack uses the universal connector joint shared by all Team Combiners and [[Crash Combiner]]s, but since she can ''only'' form an arm in combined mode, this can lead to some ''interesting''-looking combinations.

: She is a [[retool]] of her teammate [[Cyberwarp#Toys|Cyberwarp]], with a different headsculpt. There is a mismatch between the two's decos: Skyjack's art shows her with green piping, but the toy has yellow, while Cyberwarp has the reverse issue. You can ''try'' to correct this by knocking out the pin and swapping heads, but good luck with that.
