*&#039;&#039;&#039;Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; (Decepticon, 1985)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;49&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Magnetic impulse defuser&amp;quot; barrel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was one of the very first 1985 toys to see release, if not &#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039; first. Shockwave transforms into a large Cybertronian handgun, and features light and sound electronics powered by a 9-volt battery. Pulling his trigger activates a flashing light in his gun arm and one of two (fairly generic) blaster-sound frequencies, which are toggled between by a small switch on his backpack; in gun mode, the light winds up in his barrel. As a robot, he has a large, if not the most, amount of articulation for the era. Officially, his [[die-cast]] feet are rotated into his legs in gun mode, but if you wish to display him free-standing, leaving the feet out (as shown in the picture to the right) balances the figure and keeps him from tipping forward from the weight of his arms and barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The large Decepticon [[insignia]] on his chest has a thin purple outline tracing just beyond the margins of the symbol itself, a decorative feature unique in the entire history of the [[Transformers brand|brand]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was initially sold without a rub sign; one was later added to the side of his torso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave is one of the most oft-broken G1 toys, owing to a mixture of weak plastics clashing against die-cast metal, overpowered springs and ratchets shearing themselves apart, and outdated electronics corroding into uselessness. The rubber hose covering the wires connecting his torso and arm&#039;s electronics is particularly prone to dry-rotting. Be careful!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Shockwave mold was licensed from the [[South Korea|Korean]] toy company [[ToyCo]].&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Shockwave with Fistfight&#039;&#039;&#039; (Action Master, 1990)&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Double-barreled &amp;quot;Turbo Rifle&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As an [[Action Master]], Shockwave is a non-transforming action figure who combines elements of his cartoon model and original toy, with a few more details. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. Part of the third assortment of individually-carded Action Master figures, he came with his small robot [[Action Master partner|partner]] [[Fistfight (G1)|Fistfight]], who combines with Shockwave&#039;s handgun to form a &amp;quot;Lightning Gun&amp;quot; cannon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: An early [[prototype]] of the figure depicted in both the 1990 Hasbro [[catalog]] leaflet included with the figures and a more elaborate catalog that was available in Germany seems to be an entirely different sculpt with slightly different proportions and detailing, including a right hand is sculpted in an open position, and on top of that also featured different colors, with a darker, more saturated shade of purple, the arm cannon and chest colored blue instead of orange, and Fistfight with his black and purple colors swapped. Additionally, there are reports of an early &amp;quot;test market&amp;quot; release that supposedly included a rubber hose that connects from his gun-arm to his back, like the original toy. There are holes in the toy&#039;s gun-arm and backpack; the black hoses included with many old &#039;&#039;[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]&#039;&#039; toys can fit in these holes.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:AlternatorsShockblast toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Guns akimbo.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Shockblast&#039;&#039;&#039; (Alternator, 2004)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Alternator ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;12&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese release date&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;[[April 4]], [[2005]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;BT-13&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Muffler-blaster&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]&#039;&#039; version of Shockwave is [[retool]] of &amp;quot;[[Jazz (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Meister]]&amp;quot; from the same line. Named &amp;quot;Shockblast&amp;quot; for [[trademark]] reasons, his [[alternate mode]] is a licensed, 1:24 [[scale]] {{w|Mazda RX-8}}, changing Meister&#039;s standard street model into a Mazdaspeed-modified version with new front and rear fenders, doors, side skirts and a spoiler (the Japanese &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; version, Laserwave, is specifically marketed as a &amp;quot;Mazdaspeed Version II&amp;quot;). He features [[rubber tires]], opening doors, hood and trunk, a detailed interior including seats and a dashboard complete with steering wheel, and a working &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism (which is not connected to the steering wheel, though). In robot mode, his muffler unfolds to become a hand-held blaster; it can also be arm-mounted thanks to the holes near the robot&#039;s elbow joints compatible with the muffler&#039;s vehicle-mode mounting peg. Shockblast also features a new head sculpt with a single eye that is illuminated using some very effective [[light-piping]], and an arm cannon made out of clear plastic that replaces his left hand. Undocumented in the instructions is a tab on the underside of each foot that can be positioned to make the figure more stable in certain poses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Takara&#039;s &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Laserwave has quite a number of small but significant changes from the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version. As usual with &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; releases, his car shell is partially constructed of [[die-cast]] metal rather than all-plastic, as well as having all the car body parts (including those made out of plastic) covered in a metal-flake paint. His passenger compartment has a hard-plastic steering wheel on the right-hand side of the car (as they are in Japan). He has [[Vacuum metallizing|vac-metal]] side-mirrors and &amp;quot;LWAVE&amp;quot; on his license plate (rather than Shockblast&#039;s &amp;quot;SHKWAV&amp;quot;). The &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism uses a magnet assembly to connect the steering axle to the front wheels instead of the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version&#039;s plastic insertion point. Plus it comes with a bonus large Decepticon [[insignia]] [[sticker]] that can be applied to a real car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockblast was later re-released as part of a Europe-only wave of &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toys in the same packaging style as the second North American &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; assortment, the latter of which Shockblast was &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; re-released in. Despite Hasbro re-claiming the &amp;quot;Shockwave&amp;quot; name by then, this re-release still calls him &amp;quot;Shockblast&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original Meister version of the sculpt was also released in a &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039;-only red version ([[repurposing|repurposed]] into &amp;quot;[[Zoom-Zoom]]&amp;quot; by the [[Story of Binaltech|official &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; fiction]]) and was later retooled into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]&#039;&#039; [[Autorooper]]. The Mazdaspeed car parts, but with Meister&#039;s original head sculpt and left hand, were later used to make the &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039;-only [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Argent|Argent Meister]].&lt;br /&gt;

Interestingly, Kreon Shockwave&#039;s chest is orange, like [[#ActionMaster|Action Master Shockwave]], while the lines in the orange section harken to [[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|&#039;&#039;Energon&#039;&#039;]] [[Shockblast]]&#039;s chest design.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Flask&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version of Shockwave has much more detailed, original-toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior version, plus his wrist-blaster is now clear-purple plastic. You can also replace the blaster with his clear-purple flask, which gives him a more &amp;quot;accurate&amp;quot; smaller blaster-hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was only available in a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the &amp;quot;[[Kreon Class of 1984]]&amp;quot;. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there &#039;&#039;was&#039;&#039; no remaining stock after the show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: His inclusion in the set is somewhat more justified than other 85~86 characters who appear in it, as while the original Shockwave toy was released in 1985, the character made an early debut in 1984 in both comics and cartoon.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Released as part of the second wave of Battle Changers, Shockwave is a massively built-up Kreon that transforms from robot to Cybertronic tank and back without removing any parts! The robot mode is based on that of Generation 1 Shockwave while the vehicle mode is based on that of [[Shockwave (WFC)|&#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; Shockwave]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:All of the 2015 &#039;&#039;Transformers [[Kre-O]]&#039;&#039; product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set.&lt;br /&gt;

{{note|The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; [[Shockwave (WFC)#Generations|Shockwave]] toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 Shockwave.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class toys, Shockwave transforms into a &amp;quot;Cybertronian mobile artillery&amp;quot; mode. The front center fuselage of the vehicle becomes a [[5 mm post|hand-held]] &amp;quot;laser cannon&amp;quot; that&#039;s modeled after the [[Sling Shock#Generations|Sling Shock]]. It can be stored on a 5mm port on his back, and undocumented in his [[instructions]], can replace his hands by folding either one of them in, revealing a socket on his wrist that a tab underneath his cannon can mount to. As another undocumented feature, the cannon actually consists of two pieces, with a large y-shaped barrel that can be removed, revealing the sculpted ends of a triple-barreled gun. The y-shaped barrel part can also be stored on Shockwave&#039;s back, forming some sort of [[jet pack|jet-pack]] exhaust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave features two examples of [[Kibble#faux-parts|faux-parts]]: The undersides of his heels resemble the front end of the y-shaped barrel part, effectively serving as an extension of the barrel in vehicle mode, whereas a fake replica of the top end of his head (including his signature &amp;quot;ear&amp;quot; panels) is sculpted on the top side of his vehicle mode (which ends up on the underside of his backpack in robot mode).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure has a &amp;quot;dramatic reveal&amp;quot; feature, where pressing the chest into place causes the head to pop up. The clasp used to hold the spring-loaded piece in place is fairly strong, and requires a small amount of force to latch if the head isn&#039;t pressed down before moving the chest assembly. Depending on the individual quality of the figure, this can cause the latch to wear out, and the spring is strong enough that the head will push the whole assembly out of place in vehicle mode if not properly retracted. As such, care should be taken on this step of conversion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was [[redeco]]ed/retooled into &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039; [[Fireflight (FOC)#Generations|Air Raid]] and [[BotCon 2014]] [[Brimstone (G1 Star Seeker)#Timelines|Brimstone]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unsurprisingly for an Aligned toy inspired by Generation 1, &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039; Shockwave was used in multiple Generation 1-based stories, with the Hasbro deco [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|appearing]] in IDW Publishing&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; comic series&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Shockwave&#039;s new body in &amp;quot;season 1&amp;quot; of &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; is actually drawn according to his Aligned counterpart&#039;s [[:File:War for Cybertron Shockwave.jpg|appearance]] in the High Moon Studios video games as opposed to the toy, but all things considered, the toy is a good match.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and the short comic &amp;quot;[[Starscream&#039;s New Power]]&amp;quot; and the TakaraTomy deco [[Brawl (G1)#Transformers: All Spark|appearing]] in the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: All Spark]]&#039;&#039; manga series and the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Cloud]]&#039;&#039; stories.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Decepticon Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; (Legends Class, 2016)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the fifth wave of the &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; Legends Class figures, &amp;quot;Decepticon Shockwave&amp;quot; is an all new mold that transforms into a &amp;quot;cannon&amp;quot; that resembles his original laser gun mode! Homaging a scene from &amp;quot;[[The Revenge of Bruticus]]&amp;quot;, a 5 mm peg folds down from the bottom of the cannon to form a gun mode which &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039; [[Bruticus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Bruticus]] (or any other &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039;-style Combiner mode fist, or even his [[#Masterpiece|&#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure]]) can wield, though a molded gun handle a few millimeters ahead of the 5 mm peg makes the connection incompatible with many figures. Shockwave&#039;s weight unfortunately prevents most figures from being able to actually hold up without bringing said figure&#039;s arm or entire body down, even the combiners made specifically to hold him. The 5 mm peg/gun handle combo also plugs into either the back of Bruticus or on top of [[Onslaught (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Onslaught]]&#039;s vehicle mode, though the open space for Bruticus&#039;s head makes the latter attachment somewhat unstable. Shockwave only features a 5 mm-compatible right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave also comes with a collector card based on his packaging art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was later redecoed/retooled as [[BotCon 2016]] [[Reflector (G1)#Combiner Wars|Reflector]] and [[Flash Sentry#Toys|Flash Sentry]] and served as the model for the non-toy &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]&#039;&#039; incarnation of [[Movor#Beast Wars: Uprising|Movor]].&lt;br /&gt;

:Released in the third wave of the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]&#039;&#039; Cyber Battalion figures, Shockwave transforms into a spaceship in a few easy steps. Unlike most figures in the Cyber Series, Shockwave is not based on any existing &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; mold and has unique engineering. Additionally, he features a 5 mm-compatible fist and a well-articulated upper body, but lacks bicep swivels and knee articulation. His vehicle mode is loosely based on his original blaster mode but also takes some design cues from the [[#Fall of Cybertron|&#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039;]] and [[#Construct-Bots|&#039;&#039;Construct-Bots&#039;&#039;]] Shockwaves. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In vehicle mode, the upper body does not connect solidly anywhere resulting in parts moving out of place in copies with loose hinge joints. This is somewhat harder to correct than many figures due to how small the joint is and how it is recessed into the chest. His plastic is also cast in two different shades of purple, which contrast strongly against one another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Amusingly, considering how easily he transforms between modes, his alt-mode is mistransformed in the stock photo. The robot mode Shockwave head rotates to an altered head in a different shade of purple for the vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Debuting in Asian markets, this figure was later sold in the United States at Walgreens stores.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]&#039;&#039; Leader Class figures, Shockwave is a heavily G1-inspired Voyager-sized robot that can assume a small Leader-sized super robot mode with &#039;&#039;four arms&#039;&#039; by combining with armor consisting of two shoulder pads, two platform boot pieces, and a backpack. These pieces are compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], and can be placed in many configurations on his body, but there are only two official ones. Shockwave features multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons (such as his cannon arm now called the &amp;quot;LV-1 Thermal Range Neuron Beam&amp;quot;) to accommodate &amp;quot;Fire Blasts&amp;quot; from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. Although promotional images of the figure depict the waist, upper arms, shoulder joints, and the backs of Shockwave&#039;s calves as a more vibrant violet, the retail version has these molded in the deep indigo as the rest of the figure. Like other figures in the same line, Shockwave features &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; paint. Unlike the others however, the only paint applied to the primary figure is found on his feet, while a great deal has been applied to the armor pieces instead. The figure also features two [[light-piping]] effects, one for the eye in robot mode and another for the bridge in spaceship mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave himself transforms into a spaceship resembling [[Sixshot (G1)#Generations|an upside-down laser gun]]. His armor pieces can also combine with this mode, augmenting it into a Cybertronian spacecraft not entirely dissimilar to the shape and details of [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|another Shockwave]]&#039;s [https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:ArmadaTidalShockwave.jpg pre-Earth mode], itself a callback to the 1985 ray-gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The armor pieces can combine to form a hovercraft the figure can stand on as well. The platform boot pieces are nominally attached under Shockwave&#039;s feet to give him a height boost, but they can also attach to the sides of his legs to give him [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|leg-mounted guns]], as seen in the picture at right, which also has a different positioning for the shoulder cannons. This configuration is only in a few TakaraTomy stock photos, and along with the hovercraft, isn&#039;t featured in the instructions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Caution should be taken with the rubber hose on the figure, as it&#039;s very prone to stress and breaking, especially at the plug connection point. This seems to be due to it being slightly too short, causing a great deal of tension on the point where it attaches to Shockwave&#039;s body when he&#039;s in spaceship mode or has his arm extended. The plug itself and the corresponding &amp;quot;correct&amp;quot; ports on his forearm and bridge tower seem to be slightly larger than standard 5mm posts, suggesting the size difference may be intentional to deter connecting the hose in a way that would lead to damage. However, the difference isn&#039;t enough to fully prevent the peg being pushed in with a small amount of force. This has the added effect of making some of his ports too loose to hold accessories properly while others may be slightly too tight.&lt;br /&gt;

The accessories use black as opposed to the dark grey of the main figure. Unlike the retail figure, Galactic Man Shockwave lacks battle-damage paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

As a [[Triple Changer]] he has a third Gerwalk-esque walking helicopter mode, called only an &amp;quot;alternate mode&amp;quot; to differentiate it from his &amp;quot;vehicle mode&amp;quot;, plus an official &amp;quot;Shockblast&amp;quot; cannon mode created by fiddling around with the toy. He has a pair of mechanical pincers which his &amp;quot;Astro Magnum&amp;quot; weapon can be fitted over and all four of his &amp;quot;Blast Arms&amp;quot; weapons can attach via c-clips to various sculpted rods. Due to the weapons being molded in translucent purple plastic, the c-clips tend to be more prominent to stress marks. Shockwave was sold exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]] and came with the comic &amp;quot;[[TFC-D03]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Destron Laserwave&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[March 26]], [[2016]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-29&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left and right fists, translucent right fist, gun barrel (opaque and translucent), saluting right hand (opaque and translucent), &amp;quot;Laser Vulcan&amp;quot;, stand, die-cast Megatron Gun accessory (Asia reissue)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Destron Laserwave&amp;quot; is a painstakingly cartoon-accurate and toy-accurate figure, transforming into a large Cybertronian handgun and scaling with the rest of the Masterpiece line (since [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-9]]), standing slightly taller than the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 seeker mold]] and slightly shorter than [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Masterpiece 2|MP-13 Soundwave]]. Though this figure&#039;s light purple coloration was controversial in some parts of the [[fandom]], it is based directly off Shockwave&#039;s original [[character model|animation model]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Similarly to [[#Generation 1|his original toy]], Laserwave has two separate electronic light gimmicks (but no sounds!). Two LR44 batteries power the light in his left arm, which is activated by clicking a button on his forearm and causes his arm cannon to glow with purple light, pulsing in and out eight times after a single push. 2 AAA batteries power the light in the gun barrel, activated by—what else?—pulling his trigger; toggling a small switch on his abdomen determines if the gun barrel LED remains illuminated for as long as the trigger is held, or if it will automatically pulse in and out ten times. His eye lights up using [[light-piping]] from a large panel in the back of his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He includes a left fist that can be swapped out for his arm cannon, to replicate his two-handed appearance from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] episode &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, and an open &amp;quot;saluting&amp;quot; hand that can be swapped for his right fist based on the same scene from the same episode. Additionally, he includes translucent versions of his arm cannon and both right hands to match his original toy&#039;s appearance. The barrel of his gun mode ends up on his back in robot mode, in contrast to his original toy, for which it was attached as a separate piece (something that was also true for the cartoon, in which it usually flew in from off-screen when he transformed). To cover this change, he comes with a stand for his gun mode that folds up into a show-accurate backpack and clips over the barrel. To avoid the potential dry-rot and pliability issues of a rubber tube, the connector tube for Shockwave&#039;s gun arm is made of a thin spring-like metal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a mini version of himself in gun mode which he can wield (called a &amp;quot;Laser Vulcan&amp;quot; in the instructions), as seen in the episode &amp;quot;[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, and a sticker sheet allowing him to have either classic Decepticon logos or cartoon-styled ones (with smaller eyes and a three-pointed central crest).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Asian countries outside of Japan, he comes with a [[collector coin]]. The coin package is shaped after Shockwave&#039;s chest on the outside with the inside part being decorated after his target scope, and refers to the character as Destron Laserwave (a deviation from the other collector coins, which always used the western names even for characters who have different names in Japan). In Asia, the figure was later reissued and came with a die-cast Megatron Gun accessory.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Defense Officer Laserwave&amp;quot; is a [[redeco]] of MP-29 sporting a much darker shade of purple that&#039;s more in line with both the [[#Generation 1|G1 toy]] and most of his animated appearances. It was [[exclusive]] to [[TakaraTomy Mall]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He features a new head sculpt with slightly different details and proportions from the earlier Masterpiece, most obvious in his eye now being smaller and a less greenish shade. The hose on his small gun accessory is now made of plastic instead of fabric. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:His forearms now feature tampographed G1-cartoon styled Decepticon symbols, rather than the [[Sticker|decal]] options of the original &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure. In addition, some of his dark purple is actually painted, as is the silver on the barrel of his gun mode. This means special care must be taken to avoid scratching the paint when clipping the backpack around the gun barrel in robot mode. &lt;br /&gt;

An image of this statue made a cameo in the 2009 film &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]&#039;&#039;, featuring in a newspaper that was sucked up by [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was likely to have been one of several &#039;&#039;Transformers [[Attacktix]]&#039;&#039; Booster pieces, using a wide, powerful, spring-loaded &amp;quot;blaster&amp;quot; missile launcher attack. He was to be a 40-point Leader-class piece. Though displayed as part of the &#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039; display at the [[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]] &amp;quot;Celebration IV&amp;quot; convention, Shockwave was ultimately never released as the &#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039; toyline was put on ice.&lt;br /&gt;

He has limited articulation (neck and shoulder swivels only), but he&#039;s so cute it doesn&#039;t matter.

:A non-transforming PVC figure of Shockwave was released as part of a promotion by [[Boss Coffee]]. The small figure was randomly included with single cans of the company&#039;s &amp;quot;Rainbow Mountain Blend&amp;quot; coffee, contained in a plastic capsule affixed to the top of can which then became a display base for the figurine once removed. Shockwave features articulation at the shoulders and waist, and came with a small catalog leaflet that could be folded up and attached to the lid/base to form a diorama background for added display value.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the third wave of [[Mighty Muggs]], Shockwave is a [[super deformed]], non-transformable PVC figure with articulated arms and head. As all Mighty Muggs are made from the same mold, he has a really weird-looking round head. His left arm, however, is [[retool]]ed to include his trademark gun hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was briefly believed to be canceled, but Hasbro revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 that his wave would be released. Along with the rest of his wave, Shockwave was eventually released as an exclusive at Diamond Distributors and [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] stores.&lt;br /&gt;

It includes the [[Cobra]]s [[Destro|James McCullen Destro XXIV]] and a [[Battle Android Trooper]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/12/shockwavehiss/ Shockwave H.I.S.S. page at yojoe.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; with a trolley for carrying [[Energon cube]]s. Destro&#039;s accessories include [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] in the form of a non-transforming tape deck, various guns, a suitcase of money, and three micro-casettes capable of being placed within the Soundwave toy. The toy&#039;s press release identifies the tapes as [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys|Laserbeak]], [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Ravage]] and [[Ratbat (G1)/toys|Ratbat]], but since all three sport the sculpted details of the original Laserbeak toy and are colored red, gold, and orange they visually appear to be Laserbeak and his redecos [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys|Buzzsaw]] and [[Sundor]], respectively.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:ToyCoAstroMagnum.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|&amp;quot;Shackwave&amp;quot;? &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Shackwave&amp;quot;?!&#039;&#039;&#039; RADIOWAVE, [[fandom|you]] idiots!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Although Shockwave was depicted in the very first episode of the original cartoon series, he did not receive a toy release until early in 1985. Unlike the bulk of early Transformers that drew their molds from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Micro Change|Microchange]]&#039;&#039; toys, Shockwave&#039;s original form was first produced by [[ToyCo]] as the &amp;quot;[http://soundwavesoblivion.blogspot.com/2015/05/shockwave-toyco-variants-part-1.html 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]&amp;quot;. As such, similar non-Transformer toys using the same mold were released in 1985, including a [[RadioShack]] exclusive called &amp;quot;Galactic Man&amp;quot;. A minor but amusing difference between the RadioShack version, humorously called &amp;quot;Shackwave&amp;quot; by fans, and the [[Hasbro]] version, is that Shockwave&#039;s inconveniently placed trigger was remolded and appears less... inconvenient.&lt;br /&gt;
** A 1985 Hasbro briefing binder gives Shockwave&#039;s toy the name &amp;quot;Spark Man,&amp;quot; which probably was a name attached to the toy, considering its similarity to Radio Shack&#039;s &amp;quot;Galactic Man,&amp;quot; rather than being an early name for the Hasbro character.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/ron-friedman-auction-hasbro-briefing_15.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He still hadn&#039;t settled into his finalized name at the time the script for &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|More than Meets the Eye]]&amp;quot; was written; in it, he is referred to as &#039;&#039;&#039;Flash Beam&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://boltax.blogspot.com/2011/02/ron-friedman-auctions-scripts-part-3-of.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shockwave was released by ToyCo in Korea in the 1980s at the same time Hasbro released him elsewhere. The only difference between the Korean version and the Hasbro release is a large &amp;quot;ToyCo&amp;quot; sticker on the front of the box.&lt;br /&gt;
** The name &amp;quot;4 Changeable&amp;quot; refers to the fact that the toy was advertised as having four modes. Before you get excited, though, those other two modes are &amp;quot;Vulcan Base&amp;quot; (the gun mode with the legs separated and feet folded out) and &amp;quot;Gunborg&amp;quot; (gun mode, arms separated and splayed a bit, feet folded out). There&#039;s a reason you never noticed them before.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Astro Magnum mold also appears to have been licensed to a small company called Village Toys in the 1980s, where it showed up in their [http://counter-x.net/footnotes/convert-a-bots/index.html Convert-A-Bots] line under the name &amp;quot;N-4-SR&amp;quot; (...&amp;quot;Enforcer&amp;quot;, get it?). There are at least two variants; one was dark grey, with purple highlights,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;n4sr1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://plasticcrack.net/archives/2009/04/convert-a-bot_shockwave_that_is_not_shockwave Convert-A-Bots N-4-SR, variant 1]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the other pale green, also with purple highlights.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;n4sr2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1NVirID3fc Convert-A-Bots N-4-SR, variant 2]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Starbrigade.jpg|125px|thumb|Product and colors (and franchise) may vary.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Shockwave bears the rather strange distinction of receiving a number of particularly high quality [[knockoff]]s, all of which known retain the electronics and some even having odd {{w|Flash Gordon}}-esque [[retool]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
* A silhouette of Action Master Shockwave&#039;s card art appears on the back of the 1993 &#039;&#039;[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] [[Star Brigade]]&#039;&#039; action figure cardbacks... as [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]]!&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; has many toys, so logic dictates that they should receive a page. Logic also dictates that they should be awesome.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:G1Shockwave toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|You can try to play Duck Hunt with him all day long, but it just doesn&#039;t work.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; (Decepticon, 1985)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;49&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Magnetic impulse defuser&amp;quot; barrel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was one of the very first 1985 toys to see release, if not &#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039; first. Shockwave transforms into a large Cybertronian handgun, and features light and sound electronics powered by a 9-volt battery. Pulling his trigger activates a flashing light in his gun arm and one of two (fairly generic) blaster-sound frequencies, which are toggled between by a small switch on his backpack; in gun mode, the light winds up in his barrel. As a robot, he has a large, if not the most, amount of articulation for the era. Officially, his [[die-cast]] feet are rotated into his legs in gun mode, but if you wish to display him free-standing, leaving the feet out (as shown in the picture to the right) balances the figure and keeps him from tipping forward from the weight of his arms and barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The large Decepticon [[insignia]] on his chest has a thin purple outline tracing just beyond the margins of the symbol itself, a decorative feature unique in the entire history of the [[Transformers brand|brand]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was initially sold without a rub sign; one was later added to the side of his torso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave is one of the most oft-broken G1 toys, owing to a mixture of weak plastics clashing against die-cast metal, overpowered springs and ratchets shearing themselves apart, and outdated electronics corroding into uselessness. The rubber hose covering the wires connecting his torso and arm&#039;s electronics is particularly prone to dry-rotting. Be careful!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Shockwave mold was licensed from the [[South Korea|Korean]] toy company [[ToyCo]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: As an [[Action Master]], Shockwave is a non-transforming action figure who combines elements of his cartoon model and original toy, with a few more details. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. Part of the third assortment of individually-carded Action Master figures, He came with his small robot [[Action Master partner|partner]] [[Fistfight (G1)|Fistfight]], who combines with Shockwave&#039;s handgun to form a &amp;quot;Lightning Gun&amp;quot; cannon.&lt;br /&gt;

: An early [[prototype]] of the figure depicted in both the 1990 Hasbro [[catalog]] leaflet included with the figures and a more elaborate catalog that was available in Germany seems to be an entirely different sculpt with slightly different proportions and detailing, including a right hand is sculpted in an open position, and on top of that also featured different colors, with a darker, more saturated shade of purple, the arm cannon and chest colored blue instead of orange, and Fistfight with his black and purple colors swapped. Additionally, there are reports of an early &amp;quot;test market&amp;quot; release that supposedly included a rubber hose that connects from his gun-arm to his back, like the original toy. There are holes in the toy&#039;s gun-arm and backpack; the black hoses included with many old &#039;&#039;[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]&#039;&#039; toys can fit in these holes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]&#039;&#039; version of Shockwave is [[retool]] of &amp;quot;[[Jazz (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Meister]]&amp;quot; from the same line. Named &amp;quot;Shockblast&amp;quot; for [[trademark]] reasons, his [[alternate mode]] is a licensed, 1:24 [[scale]] {{w|Mazda RX-8}}, changing Meister&#039;s standard street model into a Mazdaspeed-modified version with new front and rear fenders, doors, side skirts and a spoiler (the Japanese &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; version, Laserwave, is specifically marketed as a &amp;quot;Mazdaspeed Version II&amp;quot;). He features [[rubber tires]], opening doors, hood and trunk, a detailed interior including seats and a dashboard complete with steering wheel, and a working &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism (which is not connected to the steering wheel, though). In robot mode, his muffler unfolds to become a hand-held blaster; it can also be arm-mounted thanks to the holes near the robot&#039;s elbow joints compatible with the muffler&#039;s vehicle-mode mounting peg. Shockblast also features a new head sculpt with a single eye that is illuminated using some very effective [[light-piping]], and an arm cannon made out of clear plastic that replaces his left hand. Undocumented in the instructions is a tab on the underside of each foot that can be positioned to make the figure more stable in certain poses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Takara&#039;s &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Laserwave has quite a number of small but significant changes from the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version. As usual with &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; releases, his car shell is partially constructed of [[die-cast]] metal rather than all-plastic, as well as having all the car body parts (including those made out of plastic) covered in a metal-flake paint. His passenger compartment has a hard-plastic steering wheel on the right-hand side of the car (as they are in Japan). He has [[Vacuum metallizing|vac-metal]] side-mirrors and &amp;quot;LWAVE&amp;quot; on his license plate (rather than Shockblast&#039;s &amp;quot;SHKWAV&amp;quot;). The &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism uses a magnet assembly to connect the steering axle to the front wheels instead of the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version&#039;s plastic insertion point. Plus it comes with a bonus large Decepticon [[insignia]] [[sticker]] that can be applied to a real car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockblast was later re-released as part of a Europe-only wave of &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toys in the same packaging style as the second North American &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; assortment, the latter of which Shockblast was &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; re-released in. Despite Hasbro re-claiming the &amp;quot;Shockwave&amp;quot; name by then, this re-release still calls him &amp;quot;Shockblast&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original Meister version of the sculpt was also released in a &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039;-only red version ([[repurposing|repurposed]] into &amp;quot;[[Zoom-Zoom]]&amp;quot; by the [[Story of Binaltech|official &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; fiction]]) and was later retooled into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]&#039;&#039; [[Autorooper]]. The Mazdaspeed car parts, but with Meister&#039;s original head sculpt and left hand, were later used to make the &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039;-only [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Argent|Argent Meister]].&lt;br /&gt;

: This version of Shockwave has much more detailed, original-toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior version, plus his wrist-blaster is now clear-purple plastic. You can also replace the blaster with his clear-purple flask, which gives him a more &amp;quot;accurate&amp;quot; smaller blaster-hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was only available in a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the &amp;quot;[[Kreon Class of 1984]]&amp;quot;. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there &#039;&#039;was&#039;&#039; no remaining stock after the show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: His inclusion in the set is somewhat more justified than other 85~86 characters who appear in it, as while the original Shockwave toy was released in 1985, the character made an early debut in 1984 in both comics and cartoon.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:All of the 2015 &#039;&#039;Transformers [[Kre-O]]&#039;&#039; product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets.

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class toys, Shockwave transforms into a &amp;quot;Cybertronian mobile artillery&amp;quot; mode. The front center fuselage of the vehicle becomes a [[5 mm post|hand-held]] &amp;quot;laser cannon&amp;quot; that&#039;s modeled after the [[Sling Shock#Generations|Sling Shock]]. It can be stored on a 5mm port on his back, and undocumented in his [[instructions]], can replace his hands by folding either one of them in, revealing a socket on his wrist that a tab underneath his cannon can mount to. As another undocumented feature, the cannon actually consists of two pieces, with a large y-shaped barrel that can be removed, revealing the sculpted ends of a triple-barreled gun. The y-shaped barrel part can also be stored on Shockwave&#039;s back, forming some sort of [[jet pack|jet-pack]] exhaust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave features two examples of [[Kibble#faux-parts|faux-parts]]: The undersides of his heels resemble the front end of the y-shaped barrel part, effectively serving as an extension of the barrel in vehicle mode, whereas a fake replica of the top end of his head (including his signature &amp;quot;ear&amp;quot; panels) is sculpted on the top side of his vehicle mode (which ends up on the underside of his backpack in robot mode).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure has a &amp;quot;dramatic reveal&amp;quot; feature, where pressing the chest into place causes the head to pop up. The clasp used to hold the spring-loaded piece in place is fairly strong, and requires a small amount of force to latch if the head isn&#039;t pressed down before moving the chest assembly. Depending on the individual quality of the figure, this can cause the latch to wear out, and the spring is strong enough that the head will push the whole assembly out of place in vehicle mode if not properly retracted. As such, care should be taken on this step of conversion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was [[redeco]]ed/retooled into &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039; [[Fireflight (FOC)#Generations|Air Raid]] and [[BotCon 2014]] [[Brimstone (G1 Star Seeker)#Timelines|Brimstone]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Decepticon Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; (Legends Class, 2016)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the fifth wave of the &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; Legends Class figures, &amp;quot;Decepticon Shockwave&amp;quot; is an all new mold that transforms into a &amp;quot;cannon&amp;quot; that resembles his original laser gun mode! Homaging a scene from &amp;quot;[[The Revenge of Bruticus]]&amp;quot;, a 5mm peg folds down from the bottom of the cannon to form a gun mode which &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039; [[Bruticus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Bruticus]] (or any other &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039;-style Combiner mode fist, or even his [[#Masterpiece|&#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure]]) can wield, though a molded gun handle a few millimeters ahead of the 5mm peg makes the connection incompatible with many figures. Shockwave&#039;s weight unfortunately prevents most figures from being able to actually hold up without bringing said figure&#039;s arm or entire body down, even the combiners made specifically to hold him. The 5mm peg/gun handle combo also plugs into either the back of Bruticus or on top of [[Onslaught (G1)#Combiner Wars|Onslaught]]&#039;s vehicle mode, though the open space for Bruticus&#039;s head makes the latter attachment somewhat unstable. Shockwave only features a 5mm-compatible right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave also comes with a collector card based on his packaging art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was later redecoed/retooled as [[BotCon 2016]] [[Reflector (G1)#Combiner Wars|Reflector]] and [[Flash Sentry#Toys|Flash Sentry]] and served as the model for the non-toy &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]&#039;&#039; incarnation of [[Movor#Beast Wars: Uprising|Movor]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Decepticon Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; (Cyber Battalion, 2018)&lt;br /&gt;
:Released in the third wave of the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]&#039;&#039; Cyber Battalion figures, Shockwave transforms into a spaceship in a few easy steps. Unlike most figures in the Cyber Series, Shockwave is not based on any existing &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; mold and has unique engineering. Additionally, he features a 5 mm-compatible fist and a well-articulated upper body, but lacks bicep swivels and knee articulation. His vehicle mode is loosely based on his original blaster mode but also takes some design cues from the [[#Fall of Cybertron|&#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039;]] and [[#Construct-Bots|&#039;&#039;Construct-Bots&#039;&#039;]] Shockwaves. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In vehicle mode, the upper body does not connect solidly anywhere resulting in parts moving out of place in copies with loose hinge joints. This is somewhat harder to correct than many figures due to how small the joint is and how it is recessed into the chest. His plastic is also cast in two different shades of purple, which contrast strongly against one another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Amusingly, considering how easily he transforms between modes, his alt-mode is mistransformed in the stock photo. The robot mode Shockwave head rotates to an altered head in a different shade of purple for the vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Debuting in Asian markets, this figure was later sold in the United States at Walgreens stores.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]&#039;&#039; Leader Class figures, Shockwave is a heavily G1-inspired Voyager-sized robot that can assume a small Leader-sized super robot mode with &#039;&#039;four arms&#039;&#039; by combining with armor consisting of two shoulder pads, two platform boot pieces, and a backpack. These pieces are compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], and can be placed in many configurations on his body, but there are only two official ones. Shockwave features multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons (such as his cannon arm now called the &amp;quot;LV-1 Thermal Range Neuron Beam&amp;quot;) to accommodate &amp;quot;Fire Blasts&amp;quot; from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. Although promotional images of the figure depict the waist, upper arms, shoulder joints, and the backs of Shockwave’s calves as a more vibrant violet, the retail version has these molded in the deep indigo as the rest of the figure. Like other figures in the same line, Shockwave features &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; paint. Unlike the others however, the only paint applied to the primary figure is found on his feet, while a great deal has been applied to the armor pieces instead. The figure also features two [[light-piping]] effects, one for the eye in robot mode and another for the bridge in spaceship mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave himself transforms into a spaceship resembling [[Sixshot (G1)#Generations|an upside-down laser gun]]. His armor pieces can also combine with this mode, augmenting it into a Cybertronian spacecraft not entirely dissimilar to the shape and details of [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|another Shockwave&#039;s]] [https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:ArmadaTidalShockwave.jpg pre-Earth mode], itself a callback to the 1985 ray-gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The armor pieces can combine to form a hovercraft the figure can stand on as well. The platform boot pieces are nominally attached under Shockwave&#039;s feet to give him a height boost, but they can also attach to the sides of his legs to give him [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|leg-mounted guns]], as seen in the picture at right, which also has a different positioning for the shoulder cannons. This configuration is only in a few TakaraTomy stock photos, and along with the hovercraft, isn&#039;t featured in the instructions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Caution should be taken with the rubber hose on the figure, as it&#039;s very prone to stress and breaking, especially at the plug connection point. This seems to be due to it being slightly too short, causing a great deal of tension on the point where it attaches to Shockwave&#039;s body when he&#039;s in spaceship mode or has his arm extended. The plug itself and the corresponding &amp;quot;correct&amp;quot; ports on his forearm and bridge tower seem to be slightly larger than standard 5mm posts, suggesting the size difference may be intentional to deter connecting the hose in a way that would lead to damage. However, the difference isn&#039;t enough to fully prevent the peg being pushed in with a small amount of force. This has the added effect of making some of his ports too loose to hold accessories properly while others may be slightly too tight.&lt;br /&gt;

He includes a blaster that covers his fist and resembles his original weapon. Also included are two parts that connect over the gun to mimic the original Shockwave&#039;s barrel cover.&lt;br /&gt;

As a [[Triple Changer]] he has a third Gerwalk-esque walking helicopter mode, called only an &amp;quot;alternate mode&amp;quot; to differentiate it from his &amp;quot;vehicle mode&amp;quot;, plus an official &amp;quot;Shockblast&amp;quot; cannon mode created by fiddling around with the toy. He has a pair of mechanical pincers which his &amp;quot;Astro Magnum&amp;quot; weapon can be fitted over and all four of his &amp;quot;Blast Arms&amp;quot; weapons can attach via c-clips to various sculpted rods. Due to the weapons being molded in translucent purple plastic, the c-clips tend to be more prominent to stress marks. Shockwave was sold exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]] and came with the comic &amp;quot;[[TFC-D03]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:MP29-Laserwave.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|Fans are literally quaking in their boots at this figure.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Destron Laserwave&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[March 26]], [[2016]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-29&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left and right fists, translucent right fist, gun barrel (opaque and translucent), saluting right hand (opaque and translucent), &amp;quot;Laser Vulcan&amp;quot;, stand, die-cast Megatron Gun accessory (Asia reissue)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Destron Laserwave&amp;quot; is a painstakingly cartoon-accurate and toy-accurate figure, transforming into a large Cybertronian handgun and scaling with the rest of the Masterpiece line (since [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-9]]), standing slightly taller than the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 seeker mold]] and slightly shorter than [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Masterpiece 2|MP-13 Soundwave]]. Though this figure&#039;s light purple coloration was controversial in some parts of the [[fandom]], it is based directly off Shockwave&#039;s original [[character model|animation model]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Similarly to [[#Generation 1|his original toy]], Laserwave has two separate electronic light gimmicks (but no sounds!). Two LR44 batteries power the light in his left arm, which is activated by clicking a button on his forearm and causes his arm cannon to glow with purple light, pulsing in and out eight times after a single push. 2 AAA batteries power the light in the gun barrel, activated by—what else?—pulling his trigger; toggling a small switch on his abdomen determines if the gun barrel LED remains illuminated for as long as the trigger is held, or if it will automatically pulse in and out ten times. His eye lights up using [[light-piping]] from a large panel in the back of his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He includes a left fist that can be swapped out for his arm cannon, to replicate his two-handed appearance from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] episode &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, and an open &amp;quot;saluting&amp;quot; hand that can be swapped for his right fist based on the same scene from the same episode. Additionally, he includes translucent versions of his arm cannon and both right hands to match his original toy&#039;s appearance. The barrel of his gun mode ends up on his back in robot mode, in contrast to his original toy, for which it was attached as a separate piece (something that was also true for the cartoon, in which it usually flew in from off-screen when he transformed). To cover this change, he comes with a stand for his gun mode that folds up into a show-accurate backpack and clips over the barrel. To avoid the potential dry-rot and pliability issues of a rubber tube, the connector tube for Shockwave&#039;s gun arm is made of a thin spring-like metal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a mini version of himself in gun mode which he can wield (called a &amp;quot;Laser Vulcan&amp;quot; in the instructions), as seen in the episode &amp;quot;[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, and a sticker sheet allowing him to have either classic Decepticon logos or cartoon-styled ones (with smaller eyes and a three-pointed central crest).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Asian countries outside of Japan, he comes with a [[collector coin]]. The coin package is shaped after Shockwave&#039;s chest on the outside with the inside part being decorated after his target scope, and refers to the character as Destron Laserwave (a deviation from the other collector coins, which always used the western names even for characters who have different names in Japan). In Asia, the figure was later reissued and came with a die-cast Megatron Gun accessory.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Defense Officer Laserwave&amp;quot; is a [[redeco]] of MP-29 sporting a much darker shade of purple that&#039;s more in line with both the [[#Generation 1|G1 toy]] and most of his animated appearances. It was [[exclusive]] to [[TakaraTomy Mall]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He features a new head sculpt with slightly different details and proportions from the earlier Masterpiece, most obvious in his eye now being smaller and a less greenish shade. The hose on his small gun accessory is now made of plastic instead of fabric. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:His forearms now feature tampographed G1-cartoon styled Decepticon symbols, rather than the [[Sticker|decal]] options of the original &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure. In addition, some of his dark purple is actually painted, as is the silver on the barrel of his gun mode. This means special care must be taken to avoid scratching the paint when clipping the backpack around the gun barrel in robot mode. &lt;br /&gt;

He is packaged with [[Cancer (Masterforce)#Legends|Cancer]], a redeco of &#039;&#039;[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]&#039;&#039; [[Squeezeplay (G1)#Generations|Crashbash]]. As a &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039; mold, Shockwave is not actually designed to interact with [[Titan Master]] figures, though Takara stock photographs and the instructions suggest rearranging his arms in cannon mode to form an awkward seat for Cancer. If you wish, you could pair him with &#039;&#039;[[Unite Warriors]]&#039;&#039; Bruticus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unusually for a &#039;&#039;Legends&#039;&#039; release, he&#039;s referred to by his English market name rather than &amp;quot;Laserwave&amp;quot;, presumably for trademark and/or marketing reasons. [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|A later &#039;&#039;Legends&#039;&#039; story]] would note that in-universe, Laserwave had changed his name to &amp;quot;Shockwave&amp;quot;.

Like all the Decepticons in the series, Shockwave was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Shockwave was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.&lt;br /&gt;

Like all Decepticon Decoys, Shockwave was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots.

&lt;br /&gt;
: An [[exclusive]] release for [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2012, this is a [[redeco]] of the 2012 new-[[mold]] &#039;&#039;[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe: Retaliation]]&#039;&#039; [[HISS tank]] meant to represent Shockwave, with an additional cannon piece meant to emulate &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; Shockwave&#039;s gun barrel. It includes the [[Cobra]]s [[Destro|James McCullen Destro XXIV]] and a [[Battle Android Trooper]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/12/shockwavehiss/ Shockwave H.I.S.S. page at yojoe.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; with a trolley for carrying [[Energon cube]]s. Destro&#039;s accessories include [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] in the form of a non-transforming tape deck, various guns, a suitcase of money, and three micro-casettes capable of being placed within the Soundwave toy. The toy&#039;s press release identifies the tapes as [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys|Laserbeak]], [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Ravage]] and [[Ratbat (G1)/toys|Ratbat]], but since all three sport the sculpted details of the original Laserbeak toy and are colored red, gold, and orange they visually appear to be Laserbeak and his redecos [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys|Buzzsaw]] and [[Sundor]], respectively.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ToyCoAstroMagnum.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|&amp;quot;Shackwave&amp;quot;? &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Shackwave&amp;quot;?!&#039;&#039;&#039; RADIOWAVE, [[fandom|you]] idiots!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Although Shockwave was depicted in the very first episode of the original cartoon series, he did not receive a toy release until early in 1985. Unlike the bulk of early Transformers that drew their molds from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Micro Change|Microchange]]&#039;&#039; toys, Shockwave&#039;s original form was first produced by [[ToyCo]] as the &amp;quot;[http://soundwavesoblivion.blogspot.com/2015/05/shockwave-toyco-variants-part-1.html 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]&amp;quot;. As such, similar non-Transformer toys using the same mold were released in 1985, including a [[RadioShack]] exclusive called &amp;quot;Galactic Man&amp;quot;. A minor but amusing difference between the RadioShack version, humorously called &amp;quot;Shackwave&amp;quot; by fans, and the [[Hasbro]] version, is that Shockwave&#039;s inconveniently placed trigger was remolded and appears less... inconvenient.&lt;br /&gt;
** A 1985 Hasbro briefing binder gives Shockwave&#039;s toy the name &amp;quot;Spark Man,&amp;quot; which probably was a name attached to the toy, considering its similarity to Radio Shack&#039;s &amp;quot;Galactic Man,&amp;quot; rather than being an early name for the Hasbro character.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/ron-friedman-auction-hasbro-briefing_15.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He still hadn&#039;t settled into his finalized name at the time the script for &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|More than Meets the Eye]]&amp;quot; was written; in it, he is referred to as &#039;&#039;&#039;Flash Beam&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://boltax.blogspot.com/2011/02/ron-friedman-auctions-scripts-part-3-of.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shockwave was released by ToyCo in Korea in the 1980s at the same time Hasbro released him elsewhere. The only difference between the Korean version and the Hasbro release is a large &amp;quot;ToyCo&amp;quot; sticker on the front of the box.&lt;br /&gt;
** The name &amp;quot;4 Changeable&amp;quot; refers to the fact that the toy was advertised as having four modes. Before you get excited, though, those other two modes are &amp;quot;Vulcan Base&amp;quot; (the gun mode with the legs separated and feet folded out) and &amp;quot;Gunborg&amp;quot; (gun mode, arms separated and splayed a bit, feet folded out). There&#039;s a reason you never noticed them before.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Astro Magnum mold also appears to have been licensed to a small company called Village Toys in the 1980s, where it showed up in their [http://counter-x.net/footnotes/convert-a-bots/index.html Convert-A-Bots] line under the name &amp;quot;N-4-SR&amp;quot; (...&amp;quot;Enforcer&amp;quot;, get it?). There are at least two variants; one was dark grey, with purple highlights,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;n4sr1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://plasticcrack.net/archives/2009/04/convert-a-bot_shockwave_that_is_not_shockwave Convert-A-Bots N-4-SR, variant 1]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the other pale green, also with purple highlights.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;n4sr2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1NVirID3fc Convert-A-Bots N-4-SR, variant 2]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Starbrigade.jpg|125px|thumb|Product and colors (and franchise) may vary.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Shockwave bears the rather strange distinction of receiving a number of particularly high quality [[knockoff]]s, all of which known retain the electronics and some even having odd {{w|Flash Gordon}}-esque [[retool]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
* A silhouette of Action Master Shockwave&#039;s card art appears on the back of the 1993 &#039;&#039;[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] [[Star Brigade]]&#039;&#039; action figure cardbacks... as [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]]!&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; has many toys, so logic dictates that they should receive a page. Logic also dictates that they should be awesome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:G1Shockwave toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|You can try to play Duck Hunt with him all day long, but it just doesn&#039;t work.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; (Decepticon, 1985)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;49&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Magnetic impulse defuser&amp;quot; barrel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was one of the very first 1985 toys to see release, if not &#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039; first. Shockwave transforms into a large Cybertronian handgun, and features light and sound electronics powered by a 9-volt battery. Pulling his trigger activates a flashing light in his gun arm and one of two (fairly generic) blaster-sound frequencies, which are toggled between by a small switch on his backpack; in gun mode, the light winds up in his barrel. As a robot, he has a large, if not the most, amount of articulation for the era. Officially, his [[die-cast]] feet are rotated into his legs in gun mode, but if you wish to display him free-standing, leaving the feet out (as shown in the picture to the right) balances the figure and keeps him from tipping forward from the weight of his arms and barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The large Decepticon [[insignia]] on his chest has a thin purple outline tracing just beyond the margins of the symbol itself, a decorative feature unique in the entire history of the [[Transformers brand|brand]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was initially sold without a rub sign; one was later added to the side of his torso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave is one of the most oft-broken G1 toys, owing to a mixture of weak plastics clashing against die-cast metal, overpowered springs and ratchets shearing themselves apart, and outdated electronics corroding into uselessness. The rubber hose covering the wires connecting his torso and arm&#039;s electronics is particularly prone to dry-rotting. Be careful!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Shockwave mold was licensed from the [[South Korea|Korean]] toy company [[ToyCo]].&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Shockwave with Fistfight&#039;&#039;&#039; (Action Master, 1990)&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Double-barreled &amp;quot;Turbo Rifle&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As an [[Action Master]], Shockwave is a non-transforming action figure who combines elements of his cartoon model and original toy, with a few more details. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. Part of the third assortment of individually-carded Action Master figures, He came with his small robot [[Action Master partner|partner]] [[Fistfight (G1)|Fistfight]], who combines with Shockwave&#039;s handgun to form a &amp;quot;Lightning Gun&amp;quot; cannon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: An early [[prototype]] of the figure depicted in both the 1990 Hasbro [[catalog]] leaflet included with the figures and a more elaborate catalog that was available in Germany seems to be an entirely different sculpt with slightly different proportions and detailing, including a right hand is sculpted in an open position, and on top of that also featured different colors, with a darker, more saturated shade of purple, the arm cannon and chest colored blue instead of orange, and Fistfight with his black and purple colors swapped. Additionally, there are reports of an early &amp;quot;test market&amp;quot; release that supposedly included a rubber hose that connects from his gun-arm to his back, like the original toy. There are holes in the toy&#039;s gun-arm and backpack; the black hoses included with many old &#039;&#039;[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]&#039;&#039; toys can fit in these holes.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Shockblast&#039;&#039;&#039; (Alternator, 2004)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Alternator ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;12&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese release date&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;[[April 4]], [[2005]]&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;BT-13&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Muffler-blaster&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]&#039;&#039; version of Shockwave is [[retool]] of &amp;quot;[[Jazz (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Meister]]&amp;quot; from the same line. Named &amp;quot;Shockblast&amp;quot; for [[trademark]] reasons, his [[alternate mode]] is a licensed, 1:24 [[scale]] {{w|Mazda RX-8}}, changing Meister&#039;s standard street model into a Mazdaspeed-modified version with new front and rear fenders, doors, side skirts and a spoiler (the Japanese &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; version, Laserwave, is specifically marketed as a &amp;quot;Mazdaspeed Version II&amp;quot;). He features [[rubber tires]], opening doors, hood and trunk, a detailed interior including seats and a dashboard complete with steering wheel, and a working &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism (which is not connected to the steering wheel, though). In robot mode, his muffler unfolds to become a hand-held blaster; it can also be arm-mounted thanks to the holes near the robot&#039;s elbow joints compatible with the muffler&#039;s vehicle-mode mounting peg. Shockblast also features a new head sculpt with a single eye that is illuminated using some very effective [[light-piping]], and an arm cannon made out of clear plastic that replaces his left hand. Undocumented in the instructions is a tab on the underside of each foot that can be positioned to make the figure more stable in certain poses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Takara&#039;s &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; Laserwave has quite a number of small but significant changes from the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version. As usual with &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; releases, his car shell is partially constructed of [[die-cast]] metal rather than all-plastic, as well as having all the car body parts (including those made out of plastic) covered in a metal-flake paint. His passenger compartment has a hard-plastic steering wheel on the right-hand side of the car (as they are in Japan). He has [[Vacuum metallizing|vac-metal]] side-mirrors and &amp;quot;LWAVE&amp;quot; on his license plate (rather than Shockblast&#039;s &amp;quot;SHKWAV&amp;quot;). The &amp;quot;steering&amp;quot; mechanism uses a magnet assembly to connect the steering axle to the front wheels instead of the &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; version&#039;s plastic insertion point. Plus it comes with a bonus large Decepticon [[insignia]] [[sticker]] that can be applied to a real car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockblast was later re-released as part of a Europe-only wave of &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; toys in the same packaging style as the second North American &#039;&#039;Alternators&#039;&#039; assortment, the latter of which Shockblast was &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; re-released in. Despite Hasbro re-claiming the &amp;quot;Shockwave&amp;quot; name by then, this re-release still calls him &amp;quot;Shockblast&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original Meister version of the sculpt was also released in a &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039;-only red version ([[repurposing|repurposed]] into &amp;quot;[[Zoom-Zoom]]&amp;quot; by the [[Story of Binaltech|official &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039; fiction]]) and was later retooled into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]&#039;&#039; [[Autorooper]]. The Mazdaspeed car parts, but with Meister&#039;s original head sculpt and left hand, were later used to make the &#039;&#039;Binaltech&#039;&#039;-only [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Argent|Argent Meister]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: This version of Shockwave has much more detailed, original-toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior version, plus his wrist-blaster is now clear-purple plastic. You can also replace the blaster with his clear-purple flask, which gives him a more &amp;quot;accurate&amp;quot; smaller blaster-hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was only available in a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the &amp;quot;[[Kreon Class of 1984]]&amp;quot;. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there &#039;&#039;was&#039;&#039; no remaining stock after the show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: His inclusion in the set is somewhat more justified than other 85~86 characters who appear in it, as while the original Shockwave toy was released in 1985, the character made an early debut in 1984 in both comics and cartoon.&lt;br /&gt;

:Released as part of the second wave of Battle Changers, Shockwave is a massively built-up Kreon that transforms from robot to Cybertronic tank and back without removing any parts! The robot mode is based on that of Generation 1 Shockwave while the vehicle mode is based on that of [[Shockwave (WFC)|&#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; Shockwave]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:All of the 2015 &#039;&#039;Transformers [[Kre-O]]&#039;&#039; product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets.

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Deluxe Class toys, Shockwave transforms into a &amp;quot;Cybertronian mobile artillery&amp;quot; mode. The front center fuselage of the vehicle becomes a [[5 mm post|hand-held]] &amp;quot;laser cannon&amp;quot; that&#039;s modeled after the [[Sling Shock#Generations|Sling Shock]]. It can be stored on a 5mm port on his back, and undocumented in his [[instructions]], can replace his hands by folding either one of them in, revealing a socket on his wrist that a tab underneath his cannon can mount to. As another undocumented feature, the cannon actually consists of two pieces, with a large y-shaped barrel that can be removed, revealing the sculpted ends of a triple-barreled gun. The y-shaped barrel part can also be stored on Shockwave&#039;s back, forming some sort of [[jet pack|jet-pack]] exhaust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave features two examples of [[Kibble#faux-parts|faux-parts]]: The undersides of his heels resemble the front end of the y-shaped barrel part, effectively serving as an extension of the barrel in vehicle mode, whereas a fake replica of the top end of his head (including his signature &amp;quot;ear&amp;quot; panels) is sculpted on the top side of his vehicle mode (which ends up on the underside of his backpack in robot mode).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure has a &amp;quot;dramatic reveal&amp;quot; feature, where pressing the chest into place causes the head to pop up. The clasp used to hold the spring-loaded piece in place is fairly strong, and requires a small amount of force to latch if the head isn&#039;t pressed down before moving the chest assembly. Depending on the individual quality of the figure, this can cause the latch to wear out, and the spring is strong enough that the head will push the whole assembly out of place in vehicle mode if not properly retracted. As such, care should be taken on this step of conversion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was [[redeco]]ed/retooled into &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039; [[Fireflight (FOC)#Generations|Air Raid]] and [[BotCon 2014]] [[Brimstone (G1 Star Seeker)#Timelines|Brimstone]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Decepticon Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; (Legends Class, 2016)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the fifth wave of the &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; Legends Class figures, &amp;quot;Decepticon Shockwave&amp;quot; is an all new mold that transforms into a &amp;quot;cannon&amp;quot; that resembles his original laser gun mode! Homaging a scene from &amp;quot;[[The Revenge of Bruticus]]&amp;quot;, a 5mm peg folds down from the bottom of the cannon to form a gun mode which &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039; [[Bruticus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Bruticus]] (or any other &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039;-style Combiner mode fist, or even his [[#Masterpiece|&#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure]]) can wield, though a molded gun handle a few millimeters ahead of the 5mm peg makes the connection incompatible with many figures. Shockwave&#039;s weight unfortunately prevents most figures from being able to actually hold up without bringing said figure&#039;s arm or entire body down, even the combiners made specifically to hold him. The 5mm peg/gun handle combo also plugs into either the back of Bruticus or on top of [[Onslaught (G1)#Combiner Wars|Onslaught]]&#039;s vehicle mode, though the open space for Bruticus&#039;s head makes the latter attachment somewhat unstable. Shockwave only features a 5mm-compatible right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave also comes with a collector card based on his packaging art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was later redecoed/retooled as [[BotCon 2016]] [[Reflector (G1)#Combiner Wars|Reflector]] and [[Flash Sentry#Toys|Flash Sentry]] and served as the model for the non-toy &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]&#039;&#039; incarnation of [[Movor#Beast Wars: Uprising|Movor]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Decepticon Shockwave&#039;&#039;&#039; (Cyber Battalion, 2018)&lt;br /&gt;
:Released in the third wave of the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]&#039;&#039; Cyber Battalion figures, Shockwave transforms into a spaceship in a few easy steps. Unlike most figures in the Cyber Series, Shockwave is not based on any existing &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; mold and has unique engineering. Additionally, he features a 5 mm-compatible fist and a well-articulated upper body, but lacks bicep swivels and knee articulation. His vehicle mode is loosely based on his original blaster mode but also takes some design cues from the [[#Fall of Cybertron|&#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039;]] and [[#Construct-Bots|&#039;&#039;Construct-Bots&#039;&#039;]] Shockwaves. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In vehicle mode, the upper body does not connect solidly anywhere resulting in parts moving out of place in copies with loose hinge joints. This is somewhat harder to correct than many figures due to how small the joint is and how it is recessed into the chest. His plastic is also cast in two different shades of purple, which contrast strongly against one another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Amusingly, considering how easily he transforms between modes, his alt-mode is mistransformed in the stock photo. The robot mode Shockwave head rotates to an altered head in a different shade of purple for the vehicle mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Debuting in Asian markets, this figure was later sold in the United States at Walgreens stores.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]&#039;&#039; Leader Class figures, Shockwave is a heavily G1-inspired Voyager-sized robot that can assume a small Leader-sized super robot mode with &#039;&#039;four arms&#039;&#039; by combining with armor consisting of two shoulder pads, two platform boot pieces, and a backpack. These pieces are compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], and can be placed in many configurations on his body, but there are only two official ones. Shockwave features multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons (such as his cannon arm now called the &amp;quot;LV-1 Thermal Range Neuron Beam&amp;quot;) to accommodate &amp;quot;Fire Blasts&amp;quot; from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. Although promotional images of the figure depict the waist, upper arms, shoulder joints, and the backs of Shockwave’s calves as a more vibrant violet, the retail version has these molded in the deep indigo as the rest of the figure. Like other figures in the same line, Shockwave features &amp;quot;battle damage&amp;quot; paint. Unlike the others however, the only paint applied to the primary figure is found on his feet, while a great deal has been applied to the armor pieces instead. The figure also features two [[light-piping]] effects, one for the eye in robot mode and another for the bridge in spaceship mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Shockwave himself transforms into a spaceship resembling [[Sixshot (G1)#Generations|an upside-down laser gun]]. His armor pieces can also combine with this mode, augmenting it into a Cybertronian spacecraft not entirely dissimilar to the shape and details of [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|another Shockwave&#039;s]] [https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:ArmadaTidalShockwave.jpg pre-Earth mode], itself a callback to the 1985 ray-gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The armor pieces can combine to form a hovercraft the figure can stand on as well. The platform boot pieces are nominally attached under Shockwave&#039;s feet to give him a height boost, but they can also attach to the sides of his legs to give him [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|leg-mounted guns]], as seen in the picture at right, which also has a different positioning for the shoulder cannons. This configuration is only in a few TakaraTomy stock photos, and along with the hovercraft, isn&#039;t featured in the instructions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Caution should be taken with the rubber hose on the figure, as it&#039;s very prone to stress and breaking, especially at the plug connection point. This seems to be due to it being slightly too short, causing a great deal of tension on the point where it attaches to Shockwave&#039;s body when he&#039;s in spaceship mode or has his arm extended. The plug itself and the corresponding &amp;quot;correct&amp;quot; ports on his forearm and bridge tower seem to be slightly larger than standard 5mm posts, suggesting the size difference may be intentional to deter connecting the hose in a way that would lead to damage. However, the difference isn&#039;t enough to fully prevent the peg being pushed in with a small amount of force. This has the added effect of making some of his ports too loose to hold accessories properly while others may be slightly too tight.&lt;br /&gt;

The accessories use black as opposed to the dark grey of the main figure. Unlike the retail figure, Galactic Man Shockwave lacks battle-damage paint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:During the second &#039;&#039;Q-Transformers&#039;&#039; series, the Shockwave toy was available in a three-pack alongside [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Q-Transformers|Soundwave]] and [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Q-Transformers|Megatron]]. He is identical to the original &#039;&#039;Q-Transformers&#039;&#039; toy.&lt;br /&gt;

===Masterpiece===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MP29-Laserwave.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|Fans are literally quaking in their boots at this figure.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Destron Laserwave&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[March 26]], [[2016]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-29&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left and right fists, translucent right fist, gun barrel (opaque and translucent), saluting right hand (opaque and translucent), &amp;quot;Laser Vulcan&amp;quot;, stand, die-cast Megatron Gun accessory (Asia reissue)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Destron Laserwave&amp;quot; is a painstakingly cartoon-accurate and toy-accurate figure, transforming into a large Cybertronian handgun and scaling with the rest of the Masterpiece line (since [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-9]]), standing slightly taller than the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 seeker mold]] and slightly shorter than [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Masterpiece 2|MP-13 Soundwave]]. Though this figure&#039;s light purple coloration was controversial in some parts of the [[fandom]], it is based directly off Shockwave&#039;s original [[character model|animation model]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Similarly to [[#Generation 1|his original toy]], Laserwave has two separate electronic light gimmicks (but no sounds!). Two LR44 batteries power the light in his left arm, which is activated by clicking a button on his forearm and causes his arm cannon to glow with purple light, pulsing in and out eight times after a single push. 2 AAA batteries power the light in the gun barrel, activated by—what else?—pulling his trigger; toggling a small switch on his abdomen determines if the gun barrel LED remains illuminated for as long as the trigger is held, or if it will automatically pulse in and out ten times. His eye lights up using [[light-piping]] from a large panel in the back of his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He includes a left fist that can be swapped out for his arm cannon, to replicate his two-handed appearance from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] episode &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, and an open &amp;quot;saluting&amp;quot; hand that can be swapped for his right fist based on the same scene from the same episode. Additionally, he includes translucent versions of his arm cannon and both right hands to match his original toy&#039;s appearance. The barrel of his gun mode ends up on his back in robot mode, in contrast to his original toy, for which it was attached as a separate piece (something that was also true for the cartoon, in which it usually flew in from off-screen when he transformed). To cover this change, he comes with a stand for his gun mode that folds up into a show-accurate backpack and clips over the barrel. To avoid the potential dry-rot and pliability issues of a rubber tube, the connector tube for Shockwave&#039;s gun arm is made of a thin spring-like metal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes with a mini version of himself in gun mode which he can wield (called a &amp;quot;Laser Vulcan&amp;quot; in the instructions), as seen in the episode &amp;quot;[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, and a sticker sheet allowing him to have either classic Decepticon logos or cartoon-styled ones (with smaller eyes and a three-pointed central crest).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Asian countries outside of Japan, he comes with a [[collector coin]]. The coin package is shaped after Shockwave&#039;s chest on the outside with the inside part being decorated after his target scope, and refers to the character as Destron Laserwave (a deviation from the other collector coins, which always used the western names even for characters who have different names in Japan). In Asia, the figure was later reissued and came with a die-cast Megatron Gun accessory.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-29+&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Translucent left and right fists, opaque right fist, gun barrel (opaque and translucent), opaque saluting right hand, &amp;quot;Laser Vulcan&amp;quot;, stand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Defense Officer Laserwave&amp;quot; is a [[redeco]] of MP-29 sporting a much darker shade of purple that&#039;s more in line with both the [[#Generation 1|G1 toy]] and most of his animated appearances. It was [[exclusive]] to [[TakaraTomy Mall]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He features a new head sculpt with slightly different details and proportions from the earlier Masterpiece, most obvious in his eye now being smaller and a less greenish shade. The hose on his small gun accessory is now made of plastic instead of fabric. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
:His forearms now feature tampographed G1-cartoon styled Decepticon symbols, rather than the [[Sticker|decal]] options of the original &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure. In addition, some of his dark purple is actually painted, as is the silver on the barrel of his gun mode. This means special care must be taken to avoid scratching the paint when clipping the backpack around the gun barrel in robot mode. &lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]&#039;&#039; Shockwave is a another redeco of his [[#Combiner Wars|&#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039; Legends Class figure]], transforming from robot to 5 mm-compatible cannon and now featuring a deco closely based on the Generation 1 cartoon (although his show-accurate purple is a slightly brighter hue). He is packaged with [[Cancer (Masterforce)#Legends|Cancer]], a redeco of &#039;&#039;[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]&#039;&#039; [[Squeezeplay (G1)#Generations|Crashbash]]. As a &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039; mold, Shockwave is not actually designed to interact with [[Titan Master]] figures, though Takara stock photographs and the instructions suggest rearranging his arms in cannon mode to form an awkward seat for Cancer. If you wish, you could pair him with &#039;&#039;[[Unite Warriors]]&#039;&#039; Bruticus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unusually for a &#039;&#039;Legends&#039;&#039; release, he&#039;s referred to by his English market name rather than &amp;quot;Laserwave&amp;quot;, presumably for trademark and/or marketing reasons. [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|A later &#039;&#039;Legends&#039;&#039; story]] would note that in-universe, Laserwave had changed his name to &amp;quot;Shockwave&amp;quot;. According to [[Shogo Hasui]], Shockwave was not originally intended to be released as part of the &#039;&#039;Legends&#039;&#039; lineup.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/Hasui_TF/status/769560271580979200&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:Shockwave was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;keshigomu&#039;&#039; figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Shockwave was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Shockwave was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.&lt;br /&gt;

:The figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple &amp;quot;checklist&amp;quot; number (51, in Shockwave&#039;s case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, Shockwave was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer. &lt;br /&gt;

He was to be a 40-point Leader-class piece. Though displayed as part of the &#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039; display at the [[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]] &amp;quot;Celebration IV&amp;quot; convention, Shockwave was ultimately never released as the &#039;&#039;Attacktix&#039;&#039; toyline was put on ice.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Shockwave was briefly believed to be canceled, but Hasbro revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 that his wave would be released. Along with the rest of his wave, Shockwave was eventually released as an exclusive at Diamond Distributors and [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] stores.&lt;br /&gt;

:Released as part of [[Super7]]&#039;s ReAction Figure line, this Shockwave is a non-transforming 3 3/4 inch toy that features a rather limited articulation akin to the vintage action figures from Kenner.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:ToyCoAstroMagnum.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|&amp;quot;Shackwave&amp;quot;? &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Shackwave&amp;quot;?!&#039;&#039;&#039; RADIOWAVE, [[fandom|you]] idiots!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Although Shockwave was depicted in the very first episode of the original cartoon series, he did not receive a toy release until early in 1985. Unlike the bulk of early Transformers that drew their molds from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[Micro Change|Microchange]]&#039;&#039; toys, Shockwave&#039;s original form was first produced by [[ToyCo]] as the &amp;quot;[http://soundwavesoblivion.blogspot.com/2015/05/shockwave-toyco-variants-part-1.html 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]&amp;quot;. As such, similar non-Transformer toys using the same mold were released in 1985, including a [[RadioShack]] exclusive called &amp;quot;Galactic Man&amp;quot;. A minor but amusing difference between the RadioShack version, humorously called &amp;quot;Shackwave&amp;quot; by fans, and the [[Hasbro]] version, is that Shockwave&#039;s inconveniently placed trigger was remolded and appears less... inconvenient.&lt;br /&gt;
** A 1985 Hasbro briefing binder gives Shockwave&#039;s toy the name &amp;quot;Spark Man,&amp;quot; which probably was a name attached to the toy, considering its similarity to Radio Shack&#039;s &amp;quot;Galactic Man,&amp;quot; rather than being an early name for the Hasbro character.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/ron-friedman-auction-hasbro-briefing_15.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He still hadn&#039;t settled into his finalized name at the time the script for &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|More than Meets the Eye]]&amp;quot; was written; in it, he is referred to as &#039;&#039;&#039;Flash Beam&#039;&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://boltax.blogspot.com/2011/02/ron-friedman-auctions-scripts-part-3-of.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** Shockwave was released by ToyCo in Korea in the 1980s at the same time Hasbro released him elsewhere. The only difference between the Korean version and the Hasbro release is a large &amp;quot;ToyCo&amp;quot; sticker on the front of the box.&lt;br /&gt;
** The name &amp;quot;4 Changeable&amp;quot; refers to the fact that the toy was advertised as having four modes. Before you get excited, though, those other two modes are &amp;quot;Vulcan Base&amp;quot; (the gun mode with the legs separated and feet folded out) and &amp;quot;Gunborg&amp;quot; (gun mode, arms separated and splayed a bit, feet folded out). There&#039;s a reason you never noticed them before.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Astro Magnum mold also appears to have been licensed to a small company called Village Toys in the 1980s, where it showed up in their [http://counter-x.net/footnotes/convert-a-bots/index.html Convert-A-Bots] line under the name &amp;quot;N-4-SR&amp;quot; (...&amp;quot;Enforcer&amp;quot;, get it?). There are at least two variants; one was dark grey, with purple highlights,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;n4sr1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://plasticcrack.net/archives/2009/04/convert-a-bot_shockwave_that_is_not_shockwave Convert-A-Bots N-4-SR, variant 1]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the other pale green, also with purple highlights.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;n4sr2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1NVirID3fc Convert-A-Bots N-4-SR, variant 2]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Starbrigade.jpg|125px|thumb|Product and colors (and franchise) may vary.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Shockwave bears the rather strange distinction of receiving a number of particularly high quality [[knockoff]]s, all of which known retain the electronics and some even having odd {{w|Flash Gordon}}-esque [[retool]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
* A silhouette of Action Master Shockwave&#039;s card art appears on the back of the 1993 &#039;&#039;[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] [[Star Brigade]]&#039;&#039; action figure cardbacks... as [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]]!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The &#039;&#039;&#039;lightsaber&#039;&#039;&#039; is the weapon of choice of the [[Jedi]] and the [[Sith]]. It is presumably an energy-based weapon and comes in a variety of colors—violet, red, blue, and green.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Darth Maul]] possesses a unique dual-bladed lightsaber. [[General Grievous]] possesses lightsabers, despite being neither a Jedi or a Sith.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Springer (G1)|Generation 1 Springer]]&#039;s [[bio]] states that his helicopter blade becomes a &amp;quot;light saber&amp;quot; that can slice through concrete. Whether or not it&#039;s the same thing as the Jedi/Sith weapon is not clear, though unlikely.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the [[The Transformers: The Movie| 1986 movie,]] Both [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] use energy sword weapons very similar to lightsabers. Megatron&#039;s energy sword was purple, and Hot Rod&#039;s energy sword was orange. Interestingly, Megatron&#039;s purple lightsaber like weapon existed before an actual purple lightsaber was introduced into the Star Wars franchise.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is an animated feature film based on the original &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; toyline. It was released in the United States on Friday, August 8, 1986.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film&#039;s storyline follows the same continuity as the &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers (cartoon)|Transformers]]&#039;&#039; cartoon. It introduces a [[Scale|planet-sized Transformer]] called [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] who eats other planets, and is approaching [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. As part of their continuing wars, the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s have a [[Battle of Autobot City|fierce battle]] on [[Earth]] which sees both [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] mortally wounded. Prime passes the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and dies, and Megatron is transformed by Unicron into [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] (briefly) assumes leadership of the Decepticons, but is killed when Galvatron arrives at Cybertron. Galvatron then chases the surviving Autobots on Earth across space, splitting them up and taking the Matrix. The Autobots find their way back to each other, and follow Galvatron to Cybertron just as Unicron transforms into [[robot mode]] and begins to eat their world. Travelling inside Unicron, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] recovers the Matrix, transforms into Rodimus Prime, and uses the Matrix to destroy Unicron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Often referred to by fans simply as &amp;quot;the movie&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;TFTM&amp;quot;, the movie was a step up in almost every area from the television series, with a more sophisticated plot, more serious treatment of war and violence, a hugely ambitious scope and a greatly increased animation budget with well-known celebrities providing voice work. For these reasons, the film remains very popular with children of the 1980s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film opens with characters who had been featured in the first two years of the toyline and associated media (cartoons, comic books, etc.), but quickly introduces new characters and kills many of the old ones to make room. Of particular note, Optimus Prime and Starscream are both destroyed during the course of the film.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TFTM Unicron Lithone.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|That&#039;s no moon.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Unicron/Generation 1|A mechanical planet]] travels through the depths of space, attacking [[Lithone (planet)|a metal planet]] which has [[Lithone (species)|robotic inhabitants]]. Robots, vehicles, buildings, and even large chunks of rock are sucked off the surface and devoured by the monstrous planet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the year [[2005]], and the [[Decepticon]]s are now in control of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The [[Autobot]]s are preparing to launch an assault to retake the planet from hidden bases on two of Cybertron&#039;s moons. The Autobots launch a [[Autobot shuttle|shuttle]] to pick up a final shipment of [[energon]] from [[Earth]] before they strike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tftm1986a.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Commander, tear this ship apart until you&#039;ve found those plans. And bring me the passengers; I want them alive!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Plans for the attack are overheard by [[Laserbeak (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Laserbeak]], who reports back to [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. The Decepticons attack the Autobot shuttle en route to Earth, wiping out its crew (including [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]], [[Prowl (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Prowl]], [[Ratchet (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ratchet]] and [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]]). Using the Autobots&#039; own shuttle, the Decepticons are able to get very close to the Autobots&#039; base on Earth, [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], before they are detected, and begin a devastating surprise attack on the unprepared city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the battle at Autobot City, both [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron suffer mortal injuries, and a number of others are also killed. Eventually the Decepticons retreat, but the damage suffered by the Autobots is severe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|For an extensive synopsis of the battle, see [[Battle of Autobot City]].}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tftm1986b.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after the battle, Prime lies on his deathbed. He passes the reins of leadership to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and gives him the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. (Though [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] actually touches the Matrix before Magnus does.) Prime relates a prophecy: &amp;quot;One day, an Autobot shall rise from our ranks, and use the power of the Matrix to light our [[darkest hour]].&amp;quot; He then gives the oath, &amp;quot;[[&#039;Til all are one]]&amp;quot;, and [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|dies]]. This sequence of events is observed remotely by Unicron, the monstrous planet, who appears unusually concerned by the survival of the Matrix.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticons are making their escape aboard [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], but are too heavy for him to get them all home under his own power. After putting the matter to a fair vote, the Decepticons decide to throw their injured members off the ship to better the chance of survival for the rest, including the mortally wounded Megatron. Too injured to save himself, [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] tosses Megatron out into space and claims leadership of the Decepticon army.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|For an extensive synopsis of the battle’s aftermath, see [[Unicron War]].}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Megatron and the other adrift Decepticons then encounter Unicron in interstellar space. Unicron offers to rebuild Megatron and his minions in exchange for their service. After some coercion on the planetoid&#039;s part, Megatron agrees, and is [[Reformatting|reformatted]] into [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. The other Decepticons are turned into [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cyclonus]], [[Scourge (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Scourge]], and the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]]. Unicron provides them with a [[Revenge (G1)|ship]], and sends them to kill Ultra Magnus and destroy the Matrix, stating that the Matrix is the only thing which can stand in his way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tftm1986c.jpg|upright=1.1|left|thumb|Don&#039;t be too proud of this technological terror you&#039;ve constructed.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Galvatron first stops at Cybertron to take his revenge by killing Starscream and reclaiming leadership of the Decepticons. Almost immediately afterwards, Unicron arrives in Cybertron&#039;s vicinity and devours at least two moons—both of the Autobots&#039; moon bases are destroyed. Under coercion by Unicron, Galvatron finally heads to Earth to kill Ultra Magnus, but Magnus and the other surviving Autobots flee in a pair of shuttles. Eventually Galvatron manages to cause one shuttle to crash on yet another metal planet ([[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]]), and detonates the other with a volley of missiles. However, the Autobots in the second shuttle escape unnoticed by separating the front portion of their shuttle just before impact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TFTM Quintesson Palace.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots in the crashed shuttle, Hot Rod, [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]], and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], find themselves separated and in a hostile environment. Hot Rod and Kup are captured by a squad of [[Allicon]]s and taken before a [[Quintesson]] [[Quintesson#Judges|judge]] and his court. While being held there, they learn the name and nature of Unicron from [[Kranix (G1)|Kranix]], a survivor of the planet destroyed in the opening of the film, which he calls [[Lithone (planet)|Lithone]]. Meanwhile, the Dinobots encounter and befriend a young, wild Autobot named [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] who has been living alone on Quintessa. Together, they crash the trial just as Hot Rod and Kup are fighting losing odds against the Quintessons&#039; [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]]. The tide is turned, and the Autobots commandeer a [[Quintesson Cruiser]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tftm1986d.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|What an incredible smell you&#039;ve discovered!]]&lt;br /&gt;
The other group of Autobots has landed on the planet [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]] to make repairs, but are attacked yet again by Galvatron, who was tipped off to their survival by Unicron. During the battle, Ultra Magnus tries to open the Matrix to use its power, but is unable to do so, and instead is killed. Galvatron absconds with the Matrix, taking it away to Unicron. The remaining Autobots—[[Perceptor (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Perceptor]], [[Blurr (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blurr]], [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], [[Arcee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Arcee]], and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike]]&#039;s son [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]]—are then ambushed by [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]], the eponymous natives of Junkion, who are also giant transforming robots. This battle is cut short, however, by the arrival of Hot Rod&#039;s group in their Quintesson ship. After exchanging the [[universal greeting]] they all make friends, and the Junkions restore Ultra Magnus to life. Together, the whole group travels to Cybertron to try to recover the Matrix and destroy Unicron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TFTM Unicron smashes cybertron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Rebel base in range. You may fire when ready.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Galvatron attempts to open the Matrix to use its power against Unicron and force his master into submission, but is unable to open it. Unicron, not pleased with this attempted treachery, shocks Galvatron by transforming from a planet into a [[Scale|planet-sized robot]]. Unicron plucks Galvatron off his chest and swallows him, Matrix and all, and then begins attacking Cybertron itself. [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]] scrambles the Decepticon forces to defend the planet, but they are ineffective against so large an enemy. Shortly the Autobots arrive from Junkion, and fly the Quintesson ship straight through Unicron&#039;s eye. This impact destroys the ship, and the Autobots fall out inside Unicron. Hot Rod, separated from the others, eventually runs into Galvatron. During their fight, Hot Rod gets his hands on the Matrix and hears Optimus&#039;s voice speak the words, &amp;quot;Arise, Rodimus Prime.&amp;quot; Hot Rod grows in stature, adopts a much sterner demeanor, and quickly dispatches Galvatron by tossing him through Unicron&#039;s hull out into space. He then opens the Matrix, which fills Unicron with light and begins destroying him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tftm1986e.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Use the Force, Luke.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the meantime, the other Autobots inside Unicron have located some of their comrades from the moon bases who had been presumed dead, including [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]] and Daniel&#039;s father, Spike. The Autobots, including Rodimus, escape through Unicron&#039;s remaining eye just as he begins to fall apart and explode. The scene then immediately shifts to the surface of Cybertron, where—for unclear reasons—the Autobots seem to be in charge again. Rodimus predicts an era of peace and prosperity, and the film closes with a shot of Unicron&#039;s severed head still floating in orbit around Cybertron.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:TFTM European intro.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.4|It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire&#039;s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire&#039;s sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy....]]&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;One shall stand. One shall fall.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:—&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039; uttering the most quoted line of the Movie. An ass kicker cometh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Why throw your life away so recklessly?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:—&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Prime&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;s trash talk is actually [http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/sterner-stuff a lot cooler than it sounds].&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;Did we &#039;&#039;have&#039;&#039; to let them detonate three quarters of the ship?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When &#039;&#039;The Movie&#039;&#039; was broadcast in [[The Transformers (cartoon)#Season 5|the fifth season]] of &#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039;, it was broken into 5 parts (designated &amp;quot;Days&amp;quot;) and given new bookending segments with original story material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Day One===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TommyPrimeSeason5BumperMovie.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|You just watch yourself. We&#039;re wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tommy Kennedy|Tommy]] meets up with [[Powermaster]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] in the barren wasteland and Prime is concerned with the black eye and many bruises Tommy is sporting. Tommy explains that some &amp;quot;big guys&amp;quot; at school tried to rough him up (and by all visual evidence, succeeded). Tommy asks Prime if he&#039;d ever faced any &amp;quot;big guys&amp;quot; in his many adventures and Prime decides to tell him about the time he faced the &amp;quot;biggest guy&amp;quot; of them all, [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Optimus leaves off at the point during the [[Battle of Autobot City]] when Megatron broke their defenses to let the slaughter begin. Optimus gruesomely teases his own death scene to a very confused and concerned Tommy, but reassures him that until he can be revived as a Powermaster, the Matrix must be passed on to someone else who is worthy. Tommy wants to hear all about it, but Optimus doesn&#039;t have the time. Apparently, he needs to meet up with [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]] and help him [[Space bridge technician|repair]] the [[Space bridge]]. Tommy asks if he can tag along and Optimus tells him that if he can lift one of their two-ton screwdrivers, he can even help. They summarily blast off into space.&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Day Two===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PrimeExplodingMemoryChip.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|I&#039;ve lost R2!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Tommy and Optimus meet up in the barren wasteland, though Prime isn&#039;t sure what Tommy wants. Tommy reminds him that he promised to tell him more about Unicron and Prime concedes that he&#039;s been having trouble with his memory chip, lately. Tommy tells him all about the Battle of Autobot City, but none if it rings a bell for Optimus. Prime asks Tommy to open up an access panel in the back of his head and check the circuit. Tommy repairs the circuit, jogging Prime&#039;s memory...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prime leaves off at the point where [[Jazz (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Jazz]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cliffjumper]] are eaten by Unicron. Tommy demands to hear more of the story, but Prime&#039;s memory chip explodes and smoke pours from the side of his head. All he sees are brief flashes of the further adventures of [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and the rest. The furthest he can see, though, is the &amp;quot;death&amp;quot; of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] when his shuttle is blown up by [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. Tommy expresses discontent, citing that the Autobots are &amp;quot;too cool to die&amp;quot;. Prime says he knows there&#039;s more to the story, but with his faulty memory chip, he can&#039;t access the details. Tommy insists they get his chip fixed and so they blast off into space to do just that.&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Day Three===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TommyKennedyTraumatized.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|I can&#039;t even see. How am I supposed to fight?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Tommy finishes the repairs on Prime&#039;s memory chip, much to Prime&#039;s relief. Tommy asks Prime to test it out by continuing his story about the battle against Unicron. Prime indulges Tommy&#039;s request...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prime leaves off at the point where [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] and Hot Rod are taken to the [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]] pits and watch as the survivors of [[Lithone (planet)|Lithone]] are executed. Tommy begs Prime to stop, claiming that the story thus far is too intense and depressing for him to handle. Prime asks if he wants to hear about how Kup and Hot Rod are fed to the Sharkticons, how the Autobots are menaced by &amp;quot;aliens made of junk&amp;quot; or how Ultra Magnus is blown to pieces by [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. Tommy suddenly changes his mind and demands to hear all the gory, macabre details. Prime sets Tommy back down in the barren wasteland and promises to return soon to transform his day into an adventure. He then blasts off into space.&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Day Four===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PrimeTommyStopMotion.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|If there&#039;s a bright center to the universe, you&#039;re on the planet it&#039;s farthest from.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Tommy and Optimus meet up once again in the barren wasteland. Tommy asks why Prime is so late for their appointment and Prime confesses that [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] took a wrong turn on the way over. Prime wishes he hadn&#039;t let the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] fly the shuttle. Tommy asks if Prime has enough time to tell him more of the story and Prime assures him there&#039;s time enough...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prime leaves off at the point where the Autobots team up with the [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]]s to battle Unicron. Tommy is incredulous, wondering what a bunch of aliens made of junk could possibly contribute to the battle against Unicron. Prime informs him that great adversities often bring out the best in people, citing Hot Rod as an example. Tommy begs to hear how the story ends, but Prime says that he must first take Grimlock to have his &amp;quot;brain circuits&amp;quot; upgraded. Setting Tommy down, Prime promises to be back soon to transform his day into an adventure. Then he blasts off into space.&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Day Five===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:StanBushTheTouchMusicVideoRecordLabelNotes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|He made a fair move. Screaming about it won&#039;t help you.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Meeting again in the barren wasteland, Optimus asks Tommy if he&#039;s ready to hear the end of the story. Contrary to all the enthusiasm Tommy has shown during past storytimes, the human child laments that he&#039;s forgotten most of the tale thus far (offering the flimsy excuse that his lack of an electronic brain makes remembering so many details impossible). Prime gives him &amp;quot;a quick rundown&amp;quot; (that takes &#039;&#039;four minutes&#039;&#039;) and then proceeds to finish the epic yarn...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prime finishes the story with the destruction of Unicron, the ascension of Rodimus Prime and the exile of the Decepticons. Prime asks Tommy if he&#039;s satisfied, but Tommy just has more questions. Like what was up with the [[Quintesson]]s? Did they drop Grimlock on his head when he was a kid? And how did they ever bring Prime back to life? Prime tells Tommy to slow down. He has to attend an interstellar peace conference, but until he returns, he leaves Tommy with... [[The Touch|THE TOUCH!!!]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Animation errors==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TFTM Unicron Small.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|We’re doomed.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*When Unicron is approaching Lithone at the start of the movie, at the line &amp;quot;Look, it&#039;s Unicron!&amp;quot;, a [[Animation error#Sizing errors|cel stacking error]] results in Unicron&#039;s ring appearing in front of a building arch, [[Distribution|making Unicron look very tiny]] in that shot. In the next shot, it is clear that Unicron is several times larger than the entire planet of Lithone.&lt;br /&gt;
*The inside of one of the Lithonian ships being devoured by Unicron is visible for a couple of frames. The pilot of the ship appears to be Kranix, even though he apparently screams out Kranix&#039;s name, and Kranix appears later in the Quintesson prison.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Optimus Prime asks Jazz to report security status, it shows both Jazz and Cliffjumper. Cliffjumper is seen twiddling knobs above the actual drawn computer, as if a section was supposed to be present.&lt;br /&gt;
*Coloring errors: &lt;br /&gt;
**When the closeup of Cliffjumper doing his countdown is shown, his shoulders are blue (like his windows) instead of red.&lt;br /&gt;
**Scavenger&#039;s head is white instead of black as he ducks from Prowl&#039;s shot aboard the shuttle.&lt;br /&gt;
**Blaster&#039;s forehead is red instead of white after his &amp;quot;look out and shout!&amp;quot; line, and again after he returns to [[robot mode]].&lt;br /&gt;
**In the big lineup of firing Decepticons in Autobot City, Soundwave&#039;s cheek guards are blue instead of white.&lt;br /&gt;
**When Blaster asks Perceptor &amp;quot;What&#039;s shakin&#039;?&amp;quot;, a Dirge-colored Seeker flies by the window.  However, it appears to be the standard Starscream/Thundercracker/Skywarp design, instead of having Dirge&#039;s unique wings.&lt;br /&gt;
**As Devastator lays into the walls, Shrapnel is white where he should be black.&lt;br /&gt;
**Megatron&#039;s pelvis is white instead of black as he gives the &amp;quot;let the slaughter begin!&amp;quot; order.&lt;br /&gt;
**When the Dinobots jump out of Optimus Prime&#039;s Shuttle, the shuttle is colored like the first shuttle, which Megatron boarded, instead of red-highlighted scheme of Prime&#039;s shuttle.&lt;br /&gt;
**When Prime says &amp;quot;No matter the cost&amp;quot;, the shuttle is painted completely orange, when the front should have red and white highlights.&lt;br /&gt;
**When Prime drives up behind the Decepticons, Blitzwing&#039;s helmet is purple instead of yellow. Prime&#039;s trailer is missing its Autobot symbol as well. &lt;br /&gt;
**The gun Megatron uses to fatally injure Optimus is blue and white for most of the shots it is seen in, but when Megatron screams &amp;quot;Fall! FALL!&amp;quot; while shooting Prime again, it is black.&lt;br /&gt;
**Prime&#039;s antennae are white as he tries to stand after knocking Megatron off the ledge.&lt;br /&gt;
**Starscream&#039;s whole nosecone, rather than just the canopy, is yellow as he looms over the fallen Megatron.&lt;br /&gt;
**As Starscream prepares to toss Megatron out the door, Soundwave&#039;s eyes are painted white like his mask rather than red. (Maybe he was sleeping, his excuse for not stopping Starsceam)&lt;br /&gt;
**Starscream&#039;s cockpit shell nearest his head is colored like a canopy rather than gray, as he nominates himself for leadership. Man, even the A-list animation team couldn&#039;t keep this straight.&lt;br /&gt;
**When dragging Arcee into the shuttle and two shots later when flying into space Magnus&#039;s Shuttle has Blue highlights instead of Red.&lt;br /&gt;
**After Springer runs past him, Perceptor&#039;s gun changes from red to white for a few frames.&lt;br /&gt;
**When Cyclonus is strafing what appears via editing to be Hot Rod&#039;s shuttle, it has red highlights instead of blue.&lt;br /&gt;
**When Hot Rod&#039;s ship is being watched by Galvatron trailing smoke it has red highlights instead of blue.&lt;br /&gt;
**In the shot after Magnus announces that he cannot deal with that now, his ship has blue highlights instead of red.&lt;br /&gt;
**Shrapnel&#039;s lower legs are white when he lands on Junk, instead of black. Must be a side effect of being dead.&lt;br /&gt;
**When Hot Rod tells the Junkions the universal greeting, the Autobot insignia on his chest is colored black.&lt;br /&gt;
**After transforming, Unicron has all-white hands (instead of white with gold knuckles) and a white, rectangular chin (instead of the double-triangular chin with a goatee) he has later.&lt;br /&gt;
**As the Autobots fly through space after exiting Unicron&#039;s eye, Rodimus is painted in Ultra Magnus&#039; colors (inverted).&lt;br /&gt;
*When the Decepticons blow a hole through the Autobot shuttle to get in, it is a clean break. However, Megatron is still shown ripping through random ship components to get in. &lt;br /&gt;
*When the Decepticons are killing the Autobot shuttle crew, there is one of the common Starscream/Skywarp/Thundercracker miscolors. Megatron transforms into gun mode and Starscream catches him, killing Brawn. When they cut back to the Decepticons, Starscream is in front of the Constructicons without Megatron and is firing one of his arm rifles (this was probably meant to be Skywarp, as he flies into the shuttle and takes a seat at the controls once the Autobots are defeated). When they cut back to the Decepticons for the third time, Starscream has Megatron again and is finishing off the rest of the Autobots. In the shot of Starscream firing his own lasers, his wings are red instead of gray. &lt;br /&gt;
*Per his standard cartoon appearance, Ratchet should have a [[Red Cross]] symbol on each shoulder. When he turns in his seat as Brawn is shot down, we can see one on his right shoulder, but when he stands to return fire on the Decepticons, the right shoulder&#039;s cross has vanished, and he&#039;s only got one on his left shoulder. Then, when he falls, the cross is missing from &#039;&#039;both&#039;&#039; shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
*When the Decepticons fly to the shuttle&#039;s controls: &lt;br /&gt;
**All of the Autobots have changed positions from when they fell—Brawn is now on his back, for example, while Prowl is now face-down.&lt;br /&gt;
**Ironhide&#039;s chest is completely intact, despite having a bunch of holes blown in it.&lt;br /&gt;
**Prowl, who turned gray as he fell (evidently dead before he even hit the floor) seems to be back in his normal colors.&lt;br /&gt;
*The reflections of Hot Rod and Daniel in the lake rarely line up with where they should be.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Hot Rod catches a fish, it is barely the size of his finger. When he releases it, it&#039;s [[Scale|suddenly huge]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Hot Rod has at least two totally different transformation schemes during the course of the film.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Kup and several Autobots at the roadblock react to Hot Rod&#039;s attack on the hijacked Autobot shuttle, Bluestreak is represented by Prowl&#039;s [[Character model|animation model]], in Bluestreak&#039;s gray and black colors. &lt;br /&gt;
*Sunstreaker appears with Kup&#039;s group on Earth as they observe Hot Rod firing on Ironhide&#039;s shuttle. Sunstreaker later appears as Optimus Prime&#039;s co-pilot when they arrive on Earth with the Dinobots, and is seen disembarking the shuttle along with Optimus Prime and Hound.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ShockwaveBattleAutobotcity.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|We&#039;ve picked up a new group of signals... enemy fighters heading your way.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*In a wide aerial shot of the city under attack, a Reflector flies by in Ironhide&#039;s color scheme. Shockwave also makes his only appearance in the battle; considering both his role as Cybertron&#039;s guardian and his absence from any other scenes during the battle, his presence is probably an animation error. Rumble also flies past, despite being inside Soundwave at this point.&lt;br /&gt;
*A laser blast that should be behind Blaster is instead layered in front of him as he acknowledges Perceptor&#039;s orders.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TFTMRumbleFrenzytwored.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|[[FIRRIB|What]] about that [[R2-D2|blue one]]? We&#039;ll take that one.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*When [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] sends out his cassette troops, [[FIRRIB|Rumble is the same color as Frenzy]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Blaster first ejects what looks like Eject, who stays blue up until he gets to the edge of the screen. He then turns black like Rewind. Then Blaster ejects another blue cassette, which after about a second turns black. This one gets through half his transformation colored black, then turns blue for a split second then turns black again. Then, when the cassettes are fighting each other, Eject runs in from the left and jumps over Perceptor. And then he runs in from the left &#039;&#039;again&#039;&#039; to shoot Ravage.&lt;br /&gt;
*As Springer runs up to the launcher, Wheeljack&#039;s body is visible, but he&#039;s in the red, white and blue color scheme of Smokescreen - who, in the storyboards of this sequence, was intended to be the one lying there dead.&lt;br /&gt;
*While Springer and Arcee are trying to move the launcher into place, Springer&#039;s face is the same color as his helmet.&lt;br /&gt;
*During Devastator&#039;s combination sequence in Autobot City, his chest plate, portions of his pelvis, his forearms, and Bonecrusher&#039;s treads are all green. The chestplate and pelvis should be purple, as should Bonecrusher&#039;s treads (they&#039;re &#039;&#039;normally&#039;&#039; green when Bonecrusher is separate, but they turn purple when he combines), and his forearms should be black.&lt;br /&gt;
*For almost the entirety of his screen time during the battle in Autobot City, the &amp;quot;jet engine&amp;quot; on top of Devastator&#039;s chest plate is misinterpreted as a trapezoidal block. The only time it appears in its proper shape is when he high-kicks Grimlock. It appears as it should during the scuffle on Astrotrain.&lt;br /&gt;
*While Perceptor and Grapple are shooting, Swoop&#039;s lower half runs by in the foreground, long before the rest of him gets there.&lt;br /&gt;
*Prime&#039;s dramatic transformation sequence far outlasts the transformation sound that&#039;s supposed to go with it. It&#039;s also the wrong sound (ascending pitch) for his robot-to-vehicle transformation. His trailer is also missing the Autobot logo, which reappears for the rest of the scene.&lt;br /&gt;
*Prime is missing the transformation sound as he blasts back to robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
*The gun Megatron fires uses the same sound effect as his fusion cannon.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Optimus Prime takes the Matrix out of his chest to give to Ultra Magnus, the animators forgot to remove the cel of the Matrix inside his chest, as it&#039;s still in there even as he&#039;s holding it in his hands. Since it&#039;s not supposed to be there, the luminous effect for the Matrix&#039;s core is missing from the duplicate in his chest, creating a visual trick that makes it look like Optimus might just have removed the core itself. (The [[Matrix of Leadership#Universe|&#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; comic]] would later use this error as a springboard to reconcile the visuals of Optimus&#039;s chest interior with their depiction in &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]&#039;&#039;.)&lt;br /&gt;
*When Ultra Magnus accepts the Matrix, he&#039;s seen inserting it into his chest twice, or at best readjusting its &amp;quot;fit&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*As the other Decepticons prepare to push him out, Bombshell&#039;s chest is rendered as a shapeless gray mass, rather than with its yellow canopy.&lt;br /&gt;
*The voice that says, &amp;quot;Brothers! Don&#039;t!&amp;quot; is nowhere close to the voices of any of the five Decepticons shown getting thrown out of Astrotrain.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Megatron says &amp;quot;Nobody summons Megatron&amp;quot; his chest emblem is colored gray like his chest. It looks like it should have been painted as a darker shade of purple, as it&#039;s the shadowed section. But was painted gray instead.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TFTMStarscreamCoronationErrors.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4| *&#039;&#039;trumpet fanfare&#039;&#039;*]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Even after the [[Battle of Autobot City]], characters who are supposedly dead continue to appear in crowd shots and battles. Shrapnel&#039;s role in the fight on [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]] is the most noticeable (and he was called for by name in the original script), but Thundercracker, Skywarp and Kickback can all be seen at Starscream&#039;s coronation. The two jets are later seen again, flying into Unicron&#039;s mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
*In the establishing shot of Starscream&#039;s coronation, there are only five Constructicons (Bonecrusher had better things to do tonight) and they are miscolored as purple and white rather than their usual purple and green color scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
*Hook has two eyes instead of his normal visor as he looks around in confusion during the trumpet scene.&lt;br /&gt;
*An early establishing shot clearly shows Cybertron with two and &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; two moons in low orbit. Yet a third moon is visible right after Unicron finishes eating the two Autobot bases.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Galvatron introduces himself to the Coronation party, Soundwave&#039;s chest window is drawn far too small.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Galvatron says &amp;quot;Decepticons, to Earth!&amp;quot;, aside from his mouth being partially open, his mouth doesn&#039;t move. I guess being reformatted by Unicron gives you the ability to talk without moving your mouth?&lt;br /&gt;
*In the scene where  Bumblebee and Spike are in the [[Autobot frigate]] and escaping Moonbase Two&#039;s destruction, when the two are cheering after believing that Unicron has been destroyed, Bumblebee&#039;s on the left side of Spike&#039;s seat. However, after Spike expresses his &amp;quot;colorful&amp;quot; reaction to Unicron remaining completely unscathed, and when the frigate is about to get sucked into Unicron, Bumblebee is on the right side of Spike&#039;s seat.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Cyclonus is strafing the Autobot shuttle in space, he briefly flies offscreen, and during that time his laser blasts come from a point that in no way matches his flight path. &lt;br /&gt;
*During the wide shot of the Autobots in the crashed ship on Junk, Blurr&#039;s entire head is white. Also so is Daniels head, which is drawn as an indistinct incomplete circle.&lt;br /&gt;
*Daniel&#039;s lips don&#039;t purse when he whistles.&lt;br /&gt;
*Wreck-Gar&#039;s mouth doesn&#039;t move at all during his first lines, despite the camera pushing in all close on his face.&lt;br /&gt;
*The pistol Ultra Magnus fires uses the same sound effect as Optimus Prime&#039;s rifle.&lt;br /&gt;
*During the Junkion chase scene, Trashbin attacks Arcee. When she fights him off his motorcycle, his model is switched for Junkyard&#039;s when he falls down. And his head then flickers between colors when mounting Junkyard.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Grimlock gets kissed, his eyes are round instead of triangular.(Probably intentional expression)&lt;br /&gt;
*As Hot Rod falls off one of Unicron&#039;s inner spikes, his lower body isn&#039;t drawn in. It looks like it should be blocked by our view of the spike, but is layered above it instead.&lt;br /&gt;
*Hot Rod&#039;s missing his Autobot symbol as he regains his footing inside Unicron.&lt;br /&gt;
*As the Dinobots fly around Unicron, both his eyes are intact. (The left one had at this point been shattered.)&lt;br /&gt;
*The third smelting victim (who looks a lot like another Bumblebee) doesn&#039;t fall from the conveyor belt; he simply vanishes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Continuity errors ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:G1TFTM Snarl cameo.JPG|thumb|upright=1.4|He used to bulls-eye womp-rats in his T16 back home.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Dinobot [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] is mysteriously absent from almost the entire movie, even though the Dinobots as a group are featured prominently. Copies of the script which have come into fans&#039; hands repeatedly list the Dinobots, but never make mention of Snarl by name. In fact, at one point the script refers to &amp;quot;the four Dinobots&amp;quot;. Despite this, Snarl does appear in three very brief shots—in which at least one other Dinobot (Swoop in one, Sludge in another) is entirely absent. Hmm.&lt;br /&gt;
** On the other hand, the original production &#039;&#039;storyboards&#039;&#039; for the scene where Snarl first appears in the movie only mentions &amp;quot;the Dinobots&amp;quot;, not a specific amount of them. Additionally, Snarl also seems to have been in the scene with Kup telling the Dinobots a story in at least &#039;&#039;one&#039;&#039; version of the film; the Japanese trailer for the movie has finished footage of this scene...but it&#039;s very different from the one in the film; the Dinobots are all in their robot modes, and Snarl is present in the scene instead of Slag. It&#039;s completely unknown why Snarl&#039;s appearance in this scene was cut.&lt;br /&gt;
*Also curiously absent are the 1985 Autobot cars and Mini-Vehicles, such as Inferno, Smokescreen, Cosmos, Warpath, etc. It would seem that these characters were available at the time of the movie:&lt;br /&gt;
**Perceptor and Blaster both debuted at the same time in the cartoon as the 1985 cars, and both play prominent roles in the movie.&lt;br /&gt;
**Grapple is [[:File:BattleAutobotCity.jpg|seen &#039;&#039;very&#039;&#039; briefly]] during the battle for Autobot City. Or maybe it&#039;s [[Hauler]].&lt;br /&gt;
**The 1985 Decepticons (Astrotrain, Dirge, etc.) appear in the film.&lt;br /&gt;
**[[:File:TFTM-SideswipeRedAlertTracks.jpg|Tracks]], [[:File:TFTM-RedAlertDown.jpg|Red Alert]] and Smokescreen (who was supposed to be the corpse in place of Wheeljack next to Windcharger) all appeared in storyboards but not the finished film.&lt;br /&gt;
*Devastator is treated as &#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039; ultimate threat, while in the cartoon, his role (and apparent power) was already being [[Starscream&#039;s Brigade|severely diminished]], presumably because several other combiners had been introduced. In story terms, the absence of these newer combiners, not to mention the mighty Omega Supreme, is inexplicable. In real-life terms, those characters didn&#039;t exist when the film commenced production. (The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]&#039;&#039; adaptation shows Omega Supreme, Superion and Defensor guarding the Ark against an attack by Bruticus and Menasor, attempting to [[retcon]] the problem away.)&lt;br /&gt;
*Possibly the biggest example of the film&#039;s tonal shift from the cartoon, shots from firearms that would previously knock another character down at best have since become lethal, best demonstrated when Brawn and Prowl are each killed with a single shot by the Decepticons during the movie&#039;s first act.&lt;br /&gt;
**While Prowl, Ironhide and Ratchet are shot straight through the torso, Brawn is killed by a single shot to his shoulder, which makes little sense.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cyclonus armada tftf.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|We&#039;ll be safe enough once we make the jump into lightspeed.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*The existence of Cybertron&#039;s moons is contentious &#039;&#039;at best&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
**On the one hand, in numerous close and distant shots of the planet throughout the first two seasons, not a single moon was seen. Ever. Even after it got knocked out of Earth&#039;s orbit.&lt;br /&gt;
**On the other hand, Megatron &#039;&#039;does&#039;&#039; refer to Cybertron as &amp;quot;land of the metal moon&amp;quot; (note the singular) during &amp;quot;[[Microbots]]&amp;quot;, suggesting otherwise. The fact that he was overenergized at the time and lost consciousness in mid-sentence - just before he &#039;&#039;might&#039;&#039; have specified a plural number of moons, (in)conveniently enough - makes it unclear just how much credence we should lend this statement.&lt;br /&gt;
**The movie promptly introduces two (possibly three) moons over the planet. In continuity terms, they must either have highly elliptical orbits with periapsides (points in their orbits that bring them closest to the planet) that just happened to coincide with the timeframe of the movie or they were constructed sometime after 1986.&lt;br /&gt;
*During the Battle of Autobot City, Starscream gets his leg caught. He shoots downward and gets away while screaming &amp;quot;My foot!&amp;quot;, but it&#039;s his shin that&#039;s smoking while his foot looks fine. Later he kicks Megatron with the same foot. Shouldn&#039;t that hurt, according to him?&lt;br /&gt;
*So Ultra Magnus just happens to have a ready-made Matrix chamber installed in his chest cavity? Is this standard issue for all Autobots?&lt;br /&gt;
*The cartoon had already established that Astrotrain increases his size when he transforms to shuttle mode, being large enough to carry a pair of Decepticons in his cockpit. However, within the movie itself, his size is [[scale|noticeably inconsistent]]: When he leaves Autobot City, he&#039;s just large enough for the Decepticon army to cram themselves in; later, he&#039;s so huge that the Constructicons can quite comfortably form Devastator inside him.&lt;br /&gt;
*Speaking of Astrotrain, his entire body flips over when he transforms from train to space shuttle to escape from Autobot City. While &#039;&#039;we&#039;&#039; applaud the [[Show-accuracy|toy-accuracy]], the Decepticons inside probably didn&#039;t.&lt;br /&gt;
*Soundwave is loyal enough to pick up a wounded Megatron and save him, but when Starscream goes to throw Megatron out, Soundwave doesn&#039;t try to intervene. He even tries to steal the leadership once Megatron is gone. The &amp;quot;loyalty&amp;quot; attribute that has pertained so strongly to Soundwave seems to be alienated from the character in this scene. &lt;br /&gt;
*The number of minions created by Unicron changes throughout the film, with more Sweeps appearing as the story progresses. A second Cyclonus (&amp;quot;Cyclonus, the warrior, and [[Cyclonus&#039;s Armada|his armada]]&amp;quot;) is shown being created but disappears shortly thereafter. At least &#039;&#039;seven&#039;&#039; new characters are shown at one point, created from only &#039;&#039;six&#039;&#039; Decepticons thrown from the shuttle.&lt;br /&gt;
*How can the Constructicons blow on those trumpets? Only [[Hook (G1)|three]] [[Bonecrusher (G1)|of]] [[Mixmaster (G1)|them]] have mouths.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SSBQ.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|&amp;quot;I&#039;ve been looking forward to this for a long time.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Yes, I bet you have.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] is capable of reducing [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] to ashes with a single shot from his cannon mode. Though in later episodes Galvatron is shown blowing up even small &#039;&#039;[[Thrull|planets]]&#039;&#039; and being able to take down [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] with one shot from his cannon, his extraordinary killing power seems to be gone—like when he scores a direct hit in cannon mode on Ultra Magnus in &amp;quot;[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5]]&amp;quot; and Magnus isn&#039;t especially hurt at all, or how a similar blast against Scourge in &amp;quot;[[The Burden Hardest to Bear]]&amp;quot; only leaves the latter temporarily incapacitated. [[Marvel Comics]] bios explain this by suggesting that Galvatron had nearly limitless power through Unicron... but then again, Galvatron himself claims to be &amp;quot;more powerful than ever&amp;quot; after Unicron is dead in &amp;quot;[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2]]&amp;quot;. [[To sell toys|Who knows.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Why didn&#039;t the Autobots notice Unicron until he was within devouring distance of Cybertron&#039;s moons? Why doesn&#039;t Shockwave, who is &#039;&#039;on Cybertron,&#039;&#039; react until after Unicron has eaten these moons, transformed into a giant robot, and &#039;&#039;smashed his hand into the planet&#039;s surface?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Despite running out of energon goodies on Quintessa, Hot Rod has at least one to offer to the Junkions.&lt;br /&gt;
*How did Hot Rod and Kup know to fly from Quintessa to Junk?&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TFTMStarscreamVsUnicron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|This is either Starscream or his stunt double; hard to tell.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*When the Decepticons on Cybertron launch a counterattack on Unicron, all three of the first-year Seekers are seen fighting alongside the Coneheads. Given that all three were either explicitly killed earlier in the movie (Starscream) or have been turned into Galvatron&#039;s troops by this point (Thundercracker and Skywarp), they&#039;re obviously not supposed to be &#039;&#039;around&#039;&#039; in these forms anymore; of course, they could also just be [[generic]]s reusing their colors...but, as noted above, Thundercracker and Skywarp &#039;&#039;also&#039;&#039; appear at Starscream&#039;s coronation.&lt;br /&gt;
*Daniel, who was just learning how to use his exo-suit, had to knock down the acid cover inside Unicron to save his loved ones. Why couldn&#039;t the more experienced Spike do the same with his suit from above? He had both of his arms free and a clear shot at the cover.&lt;br /&gt;
*It&#039;s not clear how Rodimus Prime (carrying two humans) and the other Autobots survived their jump out of Unicron&#039;s eye and their plunge towards the surface of Cybertron.&lt;br /&gt;
*It&#039;s also unclear just how the dozen or so Autobots (and one shipload of Junkions) managed to retake the whole planet of Cybertron. Did Unicron really wipe out &#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039; many Decepticons?&lt;br /&gt;
* Unicron&#039;s invincibility is extremely inconsistent; Moments before becoming Galvatron, Megatron creates visible damage to Unicron&#039;s horns simply by attempting to hold into something. Later, he doesn&#039;t suffer even a dent when one of Cybertron&#039;s moons is detonated in his mouth. Near the end, the Dinobots are capable of punching their way through his &amp;quot;skin&amp;quot;, and Rodimus Prime just casually throws Galvatron into space through Unicron&#039;s side. Even without the Matrix, the small group of Autobots did pretty well against him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Not necessarily errors===&lt;br /&gt;
*Fans have noted throughout the years that Astrotrain, in his flight through zero-gravity space, should not have needed to &amp;quot;jettison some weight&amp;quot; in the literal sense. However, since the ejected Decepticons quickly fall behind Astrotrain instead of floating alongside him, he must still have been accelerating and thus would have needed to burn a greater amount of fuel in order to push a larger payload. Perhaps he should have said &amp;quot;jettison some &#039;&#039;mass&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;, but then again, just being a spaceship doesn&#039;t make him a rocket scientist.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Dinobots spend the majority of the film in their dinosaur modes, a practice that would eventually carry into season 3 of the cartoon. Swoop is the only one to spend extended amounts of time in robot mode, due to the anatomical issues of walking in a flight-based mode. However, there are some instances where they&#039;re briefly shown in robot mode for blink-and-you-miss-it moments, for no reason whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Continuity notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*The Movie has had a huge effect in shaping the mythos. Among the elements and characters which would reappear in many other iterations of Transformers are:&lt;br /&gt;
**The notion that Cybertron has moons&lt;br /&gt;
**The Matrix as a physical object, rather than the computer program previously depicted in the Marvel Comics. Even the Marvel Comics would eventually shoehorn this one in.&lt;br /&gt;
**Autobot City&lt;br /&gt;
**Unicron&lt;br /&gt;
**The notion of Megatron becoming Galvatron&lt;br /&gt;
**The idea of &amp;quot;Prime&amp;quot; being a rank rather than simply a given name.&lt;br /&gt;
**And it killed off Optimus Prime before it was cool!&lt;br /&gt;
*Cybertron&#039;s appearance in the post-titles establishing shot shows some major changes to the planet since our last look at it in Season 2. Many of the same buildings from the cartoon&#039;s stock image of the planet are there, but the giant pit near the planet&#039;s equator is mostly covered over, and the shredded portion of its southern hemisphere has been completely rebuilt.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gadgets and powers:&lt;br /&gt;
**Springer deploys a small flip-out twin laser from his wrist during the Autobot City battle.&lt;br /&gt;
**Arcee and Hot Rod both activate a long-distance scanner of some sort by lowering a red visor from under their helmets over their eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
**Hot Rod uses a saw blade that extends from his retracted wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
**Blurr has the same kind of hooked welding tip used by various Autobots as far back as &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
**Arcee unleashes a nasty barbed post from her fender to fend off a Junkion.&lt;br /&gt;
**Grimlock shows the never-before seen ability to [[GoBots|shoot lasers from his fists]].&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Revenge of Bruticus|&amp;amp;lt; &amp;amp;lt;]]&#039;&#039;&#039; What makes Starscream the leader? Megatron&#039;s &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;dead&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; almost dead!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Real-world references and Easter eggs==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TFTMUnicronSkyscrapers.jpg|thumb|I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*When the inside of Unicron is shown after he devours Lithone, the &amp;quot;blinking energy&amp;quot; effect of Unicron&#039;s innards shows, for a split second, what appear to be several images of post-apocalyptic buildings. These images look to be recycled background paintings from &#039;&#039;{{w|Fist of the North Star (1986 film)|Fist of the North Star}}&#039;&#039;, a film [[Toei Animation|Toei]] had animated the same year. Regardless of animation efficiency/corner-cutting, the flashing images of ruined civilizations are eerily appropriate for Unicron.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TFTM Sludge Devastator.jpg|thumb|Your eyes can deceive you. Don&#039;t trust them.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*When Sludge gets haymakered by Devastator, his eyes pop out of their sockets in &#039;&#039;{{w|Looney Tunes}}&#039;&#039; fashion.&lt;br /&gt;
*Kup&#039;s storytelling sequence aboard the shuttle is drawn from the novel &#039;&#039;{{w|Of Mice and Men}}&#039;&#039;, complete with Grimlock in the Lenny role asking Kup to &amp;quot;tell Grimlock about petrorabbits again&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Junkions speak almost entirely in pop culture quotes and pastiches. Littered among the generic phrases like &amp;quot;operators are standing by!&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Film at eleven&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;eliminate even the toughest stains&amp;quot; are more specific references, such as:&lt;br /&gt;
**&amp;quot;Don&#039;t look behind door #2, Monty!&amp;quot; - a reference to the game show &#039;&#039;[[Let&#039;s Make a Deal]]&#039;&#039; and its host, [[Monty]] Hall.&lt;br /&gt;
**&amp;quot;Ger-ronny-doo-ron-ron-ronny-mo!&amp;quot; - both the famous &amp;quot;{{w|Geronimo (exclamation)|Geronimo!}}&amp;quot; war cry, and the 1963 hit &amp;quot;{{w|Da Doo Ron Ron}}&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
**&amp;quot;You check in, but you don&#039;t check out&amp;quot; - a parody of the tagline for {{w|Roach Motel (insect trap)|Roach Motel}} insect traps.&lt;br /&gt;
**&amp;quot;Happy motoring!&amp;quot; - the slogan of gas company [[Esso]].&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tftm rosencrantz-and-guildenstern.jpg|thumb|Easy? You call that &#039;&#039;easy!?&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
*The Quintesson jail cell includes robot debris &#039;&#039;strongly&#039;&#039; resembling [[:File:Tftm rosencrantz-and-guildenstern.jpg#parts|several mobile suits]] from 1985 Japanese animation &#039;&#039;{{w|Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam}}&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;[[Star Wars (film)|Star Wars]]&#039;&#039; sound effects (yes, even the high-budget Movie uses them):&lt;br /&gt;
**The &#039;&#039;[[Millennium Falcon]]&#039;&#039; engine burst noise is used extensively throughout the film, over and over and over, almost any time a Decepticon takes flight.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- **[[Darth Vader]] and [[Ben Kenobi]]&#039;s clashing lightsabers is used as... something --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Luke Skywalker]]&#039;s deactivating [[lightsaber]] is used as the sound of the Quintesson ship&#039;s ramp extending.&lt;br /&gt;
**Clashing lightsabers are used as Unicron fires eye-blasts at the attacking Transformers.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- **?????? is used as Swoop&#039;s missiles fire at Unicron. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
**An igniting lightsaber is used as Rodimus opens the Matrix.&lt;br /&gt;
**An AT-AT foot stomp sound is heard as the Autobot shuttle crash lands on Junk.&lt;br /&gt;
*The &#039;&#039;[[Star Trek]]&#039;&#039; sliding door sound is used as Wreck-Gar pulls out his &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;iPhone&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; mini-TV.&lt;br /&gt;
*The sound used for the communicators on &#039;&#039;Star Trek&#039;&#039; is used when Daniel activates his blaster to save Spike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adaptations==&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Transformers: The Movie (Marvel comic)|A comic adaptation of the movie]] was published by [[Marvel Comics]] in 1986, concurrently with the movie&#039;s theater run. It was based off a non-finalized version of the script, and differs in many details from the final film. Additionally, most of the major character models (and possibly their unedited original character write-ups) appear in issue #4 of the &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]&#039;&#039; series.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Transformers the Movie (Ladybird adaptation)|A storybook adaptation]] was released in the UK by [[Ladybird Books]].&lt;br /&gt;
*A four-part adaptation was released in 2006/2007 by [[IDW Publishing]], as part of the film&#039;s 20th anniversary celebration. It was titled &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]&#039;&#039; to differentiate it from the [[Michael Bay]] [[Transformers (film)|live-action film]]. Unlike its predecessor, it adheres rigidly to the script and plot of the finished movie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Soundtrack==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|The Transformers: The Movie - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Promotions==&lt;br /&gt;
*Early in the movie&#039;s production, a [[The Transformers: The Movie promo|promotional trailer]] was made to sell the project to potential investors.&lt;br /&gt;
*The movie was advertised on related 1986 toy packages via the [[Decipher the Decepticon]] Sweepstakes, which included a pack-in poster and contest.&lt;br /&gt;
*The movie was heavily advertised directly by TV [[commercial]]s, and tail-end segments on Transformer toy ads. Portions of its story were also retold in altered fashion by animation segments of commercials for the movie character toys, such as a spot showing Springer doing battle with Wreck-Gar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In the comic continuity==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel UK comic]] made extensive use of the Movie as the basis for a series of stories involving the Transformers in the future. However, there are several differences between the events seen on screen and those referenced in the comic:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The comic always dates the movie to [[2006]], following the date given in a treatment that was all [[Simon Furman]] had when he wrote &amp;quot;[[Target: 2006]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*In &amp;quot;Target: 2006&amp;quot;, [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] states that he was previously &amp;quot;[[Life Spark]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Matrix is always called the &amp;quot;Creation Matrix&amp;quot; in the comic, a name that predates the &amp;quot;Matrix of Leadership&amp;quot; but which is now used for the same physical object.&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Wheeljack]] both survive the events, both later appearing in &amp;quot;[[Space Pirates!]]&amp;quot; (set in [[2008]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] definitely survives the attack by Unicron. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The US comic almost completely ignored the events of the Movie, though later in the run an alternative future is briefly shown in &amp;quot;[[Rhythms of Darkness!]]&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;[[A Savage Circle]]&amp;quot;. In this timeline at least some of the events of the Movie took place such as the creation of [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] from [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], which is dated to 2005, though [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]]&#039;s death was overlooked. [[Prowl II|Wouldn&#039;t be the first time. Or the last.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*The US version of the future story &amp;quot;[[The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006]]&amp;quot; implicitly has the events of the movie as part of its backstory. However, since the rest of the US series ignored the movie, this issue&#039;s place in the continuity is questionable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Edits==&lt;br /&gt;
Several English-language versions of the film exist, with the following differences in content from the American theatrical run:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In some versions (notably the European version) the opening credits are replaced with a scrolling text (&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Star Wars&#039;&#039; style&amp;quot;) which provides backstory.&lt;br /&gt;
*In some versions (notably the European version) the film ends with [[Victor Caroli|a narrator]] reassuring the audience that Optimus Prime will return.&lt;br /&gt;
*Instances of swearing in the film (there are two) were edited out; sometimes one, sometimes both. Those instances are: Spike yelling, &amp;quot;Oh shit, what are we gonna do now?&amp;quot; after the self-destructing Moon Base 2 fails to scratch Unicron, and Ultra Magnus growling, &amp;quot;Open, damn it, open!&amp;quot; while trying to open the Matrix to fend off Galvatron and the Sweeps on Junkion. The United Kingdom cinema version had the swearing included but, when it was released on VHS in the United Kingdom, Spike&#039;s line was cut (&amp;quot;damn&amp;quot; not being considered especially offensive in the UK). However it has been restored on all United Kingdom DVD releases.&lt;br /&gt;
*In some early FHE video releases, the shot of the Matrix falling out of Optimus Prime&#039;s hand and being caught by Hot Rod is edited so that it appears that Ultra Magnus simply takes the Matrix from Prime. Why this was done is not known, and the replay of the Hot Rod catch on Unicron&#039;s monitors was left intact. &lt;br /&gt;
*The original FHE video release of the film painted out all instances of Megatron&#039;s green-colored &amp;quot;bleeding&amp;quot; from the end of the battle of Autobot City up to his meeting with Unicron.&lt;br /&gt;
*Instead of DEG, the {{w|Rank Organisation|Rank Film}} &amp;quot;{{w|Gongman}}&amp;quot; appears before the British release of the film, as Rank were the United Kingdom distributors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
None of these edits significantly affect the story. They should not be confused with various other sequences which were changed before the film&#039;s final release:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Originally, Ultra Magnus&#039;s &amp;quot;death sequence&amp;quot; on Junkion called for him to be lassoed and drawn and quartered by the Sweeps&#039; energy beams, but this was deemed too graphic for audiences, hence the less disturbing &amp;quot;shot to death&amp;quot; sequence seen instead. There is evidence that the original sequence had been fully animated when the decision was made, however; the Sweeps still kept their solid energy lassos when they fire upon Magnus, and Magnus is seen visibly straining against what appears to be said lassos (edited out and replaced with laser fire) before exploding. This also explains why the Junkions only have to put his limbs back on to repair him.&lt;br /&gt;
*A number of other sequences were illustrated as [[storyboard]]s but dropped, presumably without ever being animated. Among them were: &lt;br /&gt;
**A short scene showing Ironhide piloting the Autobot shuttle through &#039;&#039;huge chunks of ice&#039;&#039; from the tail of a passing comet, explaining how the Decepticons caught them unawares. In response to a reprimand by Prowl who prickishly disapproves of Ironhide&#039;s piloting shenanigans, Ironhide exclaims, &amp;quot;I can sure as shootin&#039; dodge a couple of ice chunks&amp;quot;. When the Autobots are suddenly jolted by the Decepticon strike force as Megatron and his troops attempt to enter the shuttle, Ironhide tells the others on board, &amp;quot;That was no ice chunk...&amp;quot;. Heroic nonsense ensues...&lt;br /&gt;
**An extended sequence with Hot Rod and Daniel outside the city.&lt;br /&gt;
**A sequence of Mirage blasting Bombshell and being fired on by Megatron.&lt;br /&gt;
**The Autobots finally bringing down Devastator with a barrage of missiles (and the Constructicons subsequently shooting Red Alert in the back).&lt;br /&gt;
**The Decepticons dogpiling Optimus Prime, explaining why he seems to be standing up just before his fight with Megatron, and no longer holding his rifle. According to storyboards, Prime gets bum-rushed by Blitzwing (who causes Prime to drop his gun), Starscream, Astrotrain, and Skywarp. While it is not clear how Prime defeated the first four hand-to-hand combatants, Dirge is later shown attempting one final sneak attack (and gets his can handed back to him) as Prime is talking to Megatron before the two leaders&#039; final fight.&lt;br /&gt;
**Trailbreaker is shown dead among the wreckage of Autobot City as the Decepticons begin their retreat.  &lt;br /&gt;
:Some of these concepts were in earlier versions of the script, and hence made it into the comic adaptation.&lt;br /&gt;
*Rumors have occasionally circulated in the fandom of additional animated footage that was dropped from the film, such as ultra-violent battle scenes. No evidence has ever surfaced to back these claims; the only known edits of any storyline or character importance are those listed in this section.&lt;br /&gt;

{{quote|A surprisingly dark, emotional, and almost excessively cynical experience for Transformers fans.|2=[http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/transformers_the_the_movie/ Rotten Tomatoes]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039; was almost universally panned by professional critics upon its release. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well-known film critic and animation enthusiast, Leonard Maltin, gave it a rating below 1 1/2 stars in his &#039;&#039;1987 Movie &amp;amp; Video Guide&#039;&#039;, regarding it as a &amp;quot;bomb&amp;quot;, then proceeded to write an unflattering blurb denouncing the film as a &amp;quot;feature-length toy commercial&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caryn James of the &#039;&#039;New York Times&#039;&#039; admitted in the [[August 9]], 1986, edition of the paper that the film was intended for young children, pointing out that the kids in the audience were having a grand ole time with the &#039;&#039;Transformer&#039;&#039; toys and comics they brought with them to the theater, but derided the film as having little to no appeal to adults.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Variety&#039;s Film Reviews 1985-1986, Volume 19 &#039;&#039; was far less even-handed in their review, claiming the film had no appeal to adults &#039;&#039;or&#039;&#039; children. They predicted the film would perform poorly in the box office (and were correct, in that regard).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Carrie Rickey of the &#039;&#039;Dallas Morning News&#039;&#039; chided the film in the [[August 13]], 1986, issue of the paper, describing it as &amp;quot;essentially a cartoon &#039;&#039;Star Wars&#039;&#039; about robots from a toybox galaxy far, far away&amp;quot;. She then went on to say that the film &amp;quot;never takes off&amp;quot; and derided it as &amp;quot;uninspired&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Janice Kennedy of the &#039;&#039;Montreal Gazette&#039;&#039; verbally disemboweled the film in the [[August 23]], 1986, edition of the paper, criticizing it as overly commercial, profane, loud, violent, humorless, heavy-handed in its religious messages and chaulk-full of gratuitous celebrity voice-overs. Her only compliment: &amp;quot;But &#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039; does have at least one good thing going for it, a howlingly appropriate song by [[&amp;quot;Weird Al&amp;quot; Yankovic]]. It&#039;s title? &#039;&#039;Dare to be Stupid&#039;&#039;.&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;Ouch&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nanciann Cherry in the August 13, 1986, edition of the &#039;&#039;Toledo Blade&#039;&#039; claimed the robots in the movie had little personality and faded into the background. She even went on to say that &#039;&#039;[[GoBots]]: {{gb|GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords|Battle of the Rock Lords}}&#039;&#039; was a superior film! Her review was filled with inaccuracies, however, citing characters such as &amp;quot;Unicon&amp;quot; and claiming that the destruction of Cybertron&#039;s moons by &amp;quot;Unicon&amp;quot; is what caused the Autobots to travel to Autobot City, at which point Megatron attacked. To be fair, she readily admits, &amp;quot;About 20 minutes into the film, I gave up on the plot and tried to count all the ideas that were stolen from other sources. Now that kept me busy.&amp;quot; So she wasn&#039;t really paying attention, anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kathryn Buxton in the [[August 22]], 1986, edition of the &#039;&#039;Palm Beach Post&#039;&#039; gave the film a whopping &#039;&#039;one&#039;&#039; star, calling it &amp;quot;a ripoff of a successful toyline&amp;quot;, whatever &#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039; means. In the same article, she also gave David Cronenberg&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Fly|The Fly]]&#039;&#039; one star, just for reference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the August 8, 1986, edition of the &#039;&#039;LA Times&#039;&#039;, critic Charles Solomon made clear his dislike for the film centered primarily on the fact that none of the characters had interesting or believable motivation. He stated, &amp;quot;Not even the best actor can create a character out of nothing. Not one of the robots has a reason for doing what he does.&amp;quot; Solomon then pointed to Unicron specifically as an example of the lack of deep, multi-dimensional motivations in the characters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over time, however, the movie has acquired something of a cult following beyond the core base of [[fandom|Transformers fans]], particularly among children of the 80s. It is sometimes screened as a midnight movie at colleges. Online, it is not hard to find amateur reviews lauding everything about it as utterly awesome, from the premise to the soundtrack, and dismissing more critical views out of hand. &#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039; currently holds a 55% &amp;quot;rotten&amp;quot; rating based on 22 professional reviews at online review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/transformers_the_the_movie/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Nowadays, many professional reviewers review the film in a favourable light compared to the [[Michael Bay]] films, stating that they lack the nostalgia of the 86 film.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.inverse.com/article/7309-6-enduring-legacies-of-1986-s-animated-the-transformers-the-movie&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://slate.com/culture/2007/07/transformers-why-the-original-animated-movie-is-still-the-best.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cinemablend.com/new/Sorry-Michael-Bay-Why-1986-Transformers-Movie-Best-43582.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most people think the film&#039;s soundtrack still holds up today, especially with famous artists like Vince DiCola and Stan Bush. Most professional critics consider the soundtrack the film&#039;s strongest point.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.screengeek.net/2017/06/22/retro-review-the-transformers-the-movie-1986/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Box office===&lt;br /&gt;
To date, the budget of the film has not been disclosed—at least, not in any place the [[fandom]] has found (common estimates are around $5-6 million).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Dormehl, Luke (August 2011). &amp;quot;Transformers: The Movie retrospective&amp;quot;.

Comparing this with other animated films of 1986, the results are not particularly charitable; while it did better financially than &#039;&#039;{{gb|GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords}}&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=gobots.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; ($1,338,264) and &#039;&#039;Heathcliff: The Movie&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=heathcliff.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; ($2,610,686), it performed worse than the 1986 &#039;&#039;[[My Little Pony]]&#039;&#039; movie&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=mylittlepony.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; ($5,958,456) and the &#039;&#039;&#039;second&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Care Bears&#039;&#039; movie&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=carebearsmovie2.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; ($8,540,346).

&lt;br /&gt;
==Significance in Transfandom==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039; remains one of the most important elements of the entire Transformers brand, both within the fiction and from the perspective of the brand&#039;s popularity and &amp;quot;mindshare&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fictionally, it established several story concepts that have been used repeatedly in the years since 1986, some of which—such as Unicron and the Matrix—are now central to the entire Transformers mythos. The movie is also the centerpiece of the most well-known Transformers continuity: the Generation 1 animated universe. The &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; cartoon is split into &amp;quot;pre-movie&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;post-movie&amp;quot; sections which feature different characters and settings, and even somewhat different visual styles. (Most pre-movie episodes were animated by the studio [[Toei Animation|Toei]], while most post-movie episodes were animated by [[AKOM]].)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On a practical note, it was widely available on videotape, and remained so long after the &#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039; cartoon had gone off the air. Only a [[Family Home Entertainment|handful of series episodes]] were available on video, making &#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039; the logical choice for someone looking to pick up a &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; cartoon; this made it far more well known among fans than any particular cartoon episode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To an entire generation of young fans, the movie was the most visually spectacular and narratively epic &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; experience of their entire youth. Events such as the death of Optimus Prime are widely reported to have reduced many kids to tears. It is hardly a surprise that these emotional experiences embedded themselves deeply in many fans&#039; memories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Latter-day &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; stories have made uncountable references (though [[The Transformers: The Movie/references|we&#039;re trying]]) to the movie, lifting or borrowing elements of its [[Minus One|dialogue]], [[The Transformers: Autocracy|fight sequences]], [[A Flash Forward|subplots]], [[Heavy Is the Head|details]], [[Less Than Zero|settings]] and more, as writers have discovered that a shout-out to the movie is a quick and easy way to win cheers from [[GEEWUN|some segments]] of [[Fandom|their audience]]. Even Hasbro and Takara themselves have gotten in on the act, producing a variety of toys based on the minutia of the film: [[Starscream (Armada)#Cybertron|Starscream&#039;s crown]], [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#United|Galvatron&#039;s creation]], the awakening of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Rodimus Prime]], and more. The fandom, for their part, pores over new &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; fiction, often latching on to even the most tangential of details as a [[The Search for Alpha Trion#Quotes|&amp;quot;reference&amp;quot;]] to the movie, [[The Burden Hardest to Bear|coincidental or not]]. Call-outs, real or perceived, were once a rare treat - but now are so common that many fans are more likely to groan than cheer whenever some version of Optimus Prime declares that &amp;quot;[[One Shall Fall|One shall stand...]]&amp;quot; or a damaged character states that &amp;quot;[[Unfinished|I still function]]&amp;quot; or a vengeful blast is preceded by &amp;quot;[[The Illusion of Control|Here&#039;s a hint]]&amp;quot; or yet another Soundwave says yet another variation of &amp;quot;[[Human Error, Part II|Soundwave superior]]&amp;quot;, or... well... this:&lt;br /&gt;

In 2016, thirty years after the release of the film, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] gave us perhaps one of the most meta comeback lines in franchise history. When [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] declares that &amp;quot;Today — one shall stand, and two shall fall!&amp;quot;, Optimus simply punches him in the face with a flat &amp;quot;No cliches, Galvatron&amp;quot;, voicing once and for all just how sick we&#039;ve gotten of &#039;86 quotes. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 6: No Fair Fights|No Fair Fights}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{quote|...wait, I only just noticed something. Did they actually manage to go the entire episode without quoting the 86 movie?|[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/94625-episode-65-beast-hunters-episode-13/page-4#entry2360303 Allspark poster Unit Eleven]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Criticisms==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TFTM Ratchet dies.jpg|left|thumb|Only [[Stormtrooper (SW)|Imperial Stormtroopers]] are so precise.]]&lt;br /&gt;
All this is not all to say that the movie is a &amp;quot;masterpiece&amp;quot;, exactly. The film met with extremely harsh critical reviews on its release, and some of those criticisms still ring true today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The film displays an arguably cynical attitude towards itself as [[To sell toys|a vehicle for advertising toys]], especially in the way beloved characters are killed—sometimes gratuitously—for sake of justifying the story&#039;s focus on a new group of toys. (Note that with the exception of Laserbeak and possibly Buzzsaw the poster at the top of this article features &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; new characters.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further, the two primary plot devices—[[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] and the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]—have no prior establishment in the fiction. Unicron is given no backstory ([[Call of the Primitives|until season 3]]) or justification; he simply exists, is very dangerous, and is afraid of the Matrix, all for no adequately explained reason. The introduction of the Matrix itself is a heavy [[retcon]]. The story asks the audience to accept that this cosmically powerful artifact has been in Prime&#039;s possession all along (even though an X-ray of Optimus Prime&#039;s innards in the second-season episode &amp;quot;[[A Prime Problem]]&amp;quot; shows absolutely no signs of said Matrix), but has somehow never been relevant before. In fact, this lack of prior establishment is what led [[Simon Furman]] to develop the divinity backstory of Unicron and [[Primus]] in the UK comics run.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Megatronlightsaber.jpg|thumb|Your powers are weak, old man!]]&lt;br /&gt;
The movie bears many similarities to &#039;&#039;[[Star Wars (film)|Star Wars]]&#039;&#039;: There are several character-parallels ([[Springer (G1)|Springer]] is a [[Han Solo]]-type and [[Arcee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Arcee]] even has Princess Leia&#039;s hairdo!), the primary threat is similar (it&#039;s the [[Death Star]]... [[Unicron/Generation 1|but it transforms!]]), and both feature a climactic battle where the [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|young hero]] hears the voice of his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|dead, wise mentor]] one last time before saving the day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To be a bit more fair to &#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039;, however, most of these similarities are either superficial (Arcee&#039;s Leia-hair; Megatron&#039;s &amp;quot;lightsaber&amp;quot; he briefly uses in his duel against Optimus Prime) or can be seen as elements common to thousands of years&#039; worth of epic storytelling through human history, not just common to &#039;&#039;Star Wars&#039;&#039;. As a simple example, the phenomenon of two charismatic leaders dealing each other mortal injuries in battle hearkens back to some versions of the &amp;quot;[[King Arthur]]&amp;quot; myth; in their final battle, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Arthur]] and his arch-enemy [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Sir Mordred]] deal one another lethal injuries and both apparently expire—though Arthur according to the legend will [[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1|return]] when [[Cybertron (planet)|England&#039;s]] need [[Darkest hour|is greatest]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Formatting==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tftm widescreenesque.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|The &amp;quot;widescreen&amp;quot; picture (left) actually &#039;&#039;cuts off&#039;&#039; the top and bottom of the fullscreen picture (right). Your eyes can deceive you; don&#039;t trust them.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Although it was billed in some advertisements before its theatrical release as being &amp;quot;widescreen&amp;quot;, the movie was in fact animated in a 4:3 (fullscreen) aspect ratio. For its theatrical screenings, the film was matted down in the projector by the projectionist to a 16:9 aspect ratio (widescreen), chopping the top and bottom off the picture, but all video transfers of the movie were done without mattes, meaning that there was actually more picture visible in the fullscreen video and DVD releases than there would have been in theaters. Across 2006 and 2007, new editions of the DVD of the film were released by Sony BMG and [[Metrodome]] which applied the mattes in order to replicate the original theatrical presentation of the film for the first time in home entertainment. Some fans, however, didn&#039;t realize that the film wasn&#039;t actually &#039;&#039;animated&#039;&#039; in widescreen, and, hearing that the DVD was to be in widescreen, expected to see the fullscreen image with additional footage at the sides, causing them to complain that the top and bottom were cut off, thereby totally missing the point.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:TFTM LaserDisc cover.jpg|thumb|The cover image from the original Japanese home media release of the movie.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*The movie was originally released in North America on VHS and Beta on [[September 17]]th, 1987&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1964&amp;amp;dat=19870911&amp;amp;id=YhAuAAAAIBAJ&amp;amp;sjid=Ls8FAAAAIBAJ&amp;amp;pg=3198,2881581&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; by [[Family Home Entertainment]], minus Spike&#039;s swear. Not long after, it was released in the UK by [[Video Gems]]. This version featured the opening text crawl and closing narration inherent to the UK version of the film. In Australia, the film was released on video by RCA/Columbia Pictures/Hoyts. In Japan, Hillcrane released a {{w|LaserDisc}} version alongside a VHS copy, both sporting a gorgeous painted cover that decorated many a fan&#039;s desktop back in the day.&lt;br /&gt;
*The movie was released spottily in the &#039;90s, beginning with a budget VHS by Avid Home Entertainment in 1991. [[Malofilm]] released a VHS in Canada in 1995, notable for being the first home entertainment version to include Spike&#039;s swear. In 1998, Japanese company Pioneer produced another pair of LaserDisc and VHS releases. In 1999, things kicked off when American company [[Rhino Entertainment|Kid Rhino]] secured the Transformers license and released the film on VHS once again.&lt;br /&gt;
*The 21st century&#039;s flirtation with &#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039; started with a UK budget VHS release of that country&#039;s version by [[Sony|Sony Wonder]], distributed by [[Maverick Entertainment]]. A Japanese company called CatCo followed this up with a VideoCD, and Malofilm—now Seville—were the first to release a DVD version of the film, though it was just a dump of their VHS version.&lt;br /&gt;
*In November 2000, &#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039; got its first, full professional DVD release from Kid Rhino. This edition, labelled a &amp;quot;Special Collector&#039;s Edition&amp;quot;, is the first to feature remastered video and audio, and several special features, including storyboards and an interview with [[Vince DiCola]]. Rhino concurrently released this version on VHS, sans extras.&lt;br /&gt;
*In 2001 in the UK, Sony Wonder released their own much-delayed DVD version of the film. It was the UK version of the film, but included Spike&#039;s swear. However, the release was burdened by badly interlaced video, though it notably included the [[Omni Productions]] dub version of the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|Headmasters]]&#039;&#039; episode &amp;quot;[[Four Warriors Come out of the Sky]]&amp;quot; as an extra. This version (including the &#039;&#039;Headmasters&#039;&#039; episode) was simultaneously released on VHS.&lt;br /&gt;
*The movie was released on DVD in Australia in 2003 by [[Madman Entertainment]], using the same video as the Maverick version, but distinguished by some nifty new cover art by [[Don Figueroa]], and special features not seen on other editions, such as &#039;&#039;[[Stan Bush|The Touch]]&#039;&#039; music video and 80s TV spots.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tftm uk covers.jpg|thumb|The UK poster art (left) has been the most common DVD and VHS cover in its home country, but the Ultimate Edition featured new art by Andy Wildman (right).]]&lt;br /&gt;
*After acquiring the license to release &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; DVDs in the UK, [[Metrodome]] focused on completing their run of series box sets before turning their attention to the movie properly, releasing only a cheap budget DVD of the UK version through Prism Leisure with no extras, and a UMD of the same version. &lt;br /&gt;
*In 2005, Metrodome released &#039;&#039;Transformers: The Movie - Reconstructed&#039;&#039;, a new version of the film designed to expose as much of the animated picture as possible. This, however, only resulted in exposing the rough, unfinished edges of the animation, and an overly pale remaster was compounded by excessive interlacing due to an unnecessary NTSC to PAL transfer. This, coupled with a 5.1 remix from [[Magno Sound &amp;amp; Video]], featuring the same extra sound effects that they added to Rhino&#039;s season box sets, made this release both controversial and disappointing to many. This was the first time that the US version of the movie was released in the UK, and the first to feature the US poster art as a cover (although a Silverscreen store exclusive version of the disc included a reversible cover with the UK poster art as well). Extras include trailers, TV spots, the character biographies from the Madman release, a looped version of the Lion &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; theme on the main menu, and a subtitled version of &amp;quot;[[Four Warriors Come out of the Sky]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tftm sony covers.jpg|thumb|Sony&#039;s covers, by Don Figueroa.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*For the movie&#039;s 20th anniversary in 2006, new license holder [[Sony|Sony BMG]] released a two-disc special edition of the film, featuring both a high-quality widescreen remaster and the original fullscreen version, audio commentaries from crew and fans, several new featurettes interviewing those involved in the movie&#039;s production, storyboards, TV spots, American and Japanese commercials and more. Most notably, this version included the first Western release of &amp;quot;[[Scramble City: Mobilization]]&amp;quot;, albeit silent and unsubtitled, featuring only audio commentary.  Also very notable is that this version includes an actual deleted scene from the animated film as an extra, though it is more of interest as a curiosity than anything it actually contains, being an approximately 2-second-long aerial view of the Autobots running towards the critically damaged Optimus Prime. This release featured two covers by Don Figueroa: one is of the &#039;84-&#039;85 cast that appear in the movie, and one is of the movie&#039;s new characters, available either as a lenticular hologram that switches between the two, or as a reversible sleeve with the images printed on either side.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Tftm madman covers.jpg|thumb|Madman&#039;s 2003 DVD cover (left), and their 2007 Special Edition cover (right).]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Delayed a bit to coincide with the hype for the 2007 [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]], Metrodome also released a two-disc &amp;quot;Ultimate Edition&amp;quot; with a different widescreen master. Like &amp;quot;Reconstructed&amp;quot;, this version used the US edition of the film, but this time, the UK version was also included, in fullscreen, on the second disc. Extras include TV spots, commercials, the Madman biographies, storyboards, commentary, &amp;quot;Scramble City&amp;quot; (with audio and subtitles), featurettes with [[Flint Dille]] and [[Peter Cullen]], and more. The double-disc edition was sold in a steel case featuring new art by [[Andrew Wildman]], with the UK poster art adorning the standard case inside. Various store exclusives were available, including postcards from Play.Com, a reversible cover with the US poster art from HMV, art cards from Virgin Megastore and [[posters]] from Woolworths and [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]]. It was also available in an extra-less single-disc version. This version was premiered at the Mid Ulster Film Festival in Ireland which was the only cinema showing of the remastered version of the film to date.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ShoutFactory TFTM BluDVD.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
*The film was released in Full HD 1080p on Blu-ray in the UK in October 2007. The Blu-ray is not region-locked, so it will play anywhere in the world. It features a 2.0 soundtrack, 5.1 Dolby Digital track, and a full bitrate DTS 5.1 track. The master used was the same used by Sony for their US DVD. Sadly, there are no extras on the DVD. The version of the film on the Blu-ray is the US one, complete with curse words.&lt;br /&gt;
*Madman produced their two-disc special edition through some collaboration with Metrodome, and consequently it features much of the same content, with additional extras taking the form of The Touch music video and a bonus episode of &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]&#039;&#039;. This release again features cover artwork by Don Figueroa, specifically the cover of [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]&#039;&#039; adaptation.&lt;br /&gt;
*For the film&#039;s 30th Anniversary, and after being out of print in the US for 10 years, the film was rereleased on Region 1 DVD and given its first Region A Blu-ray release on [[September 13]], [[2016]] by [[Shout! Factory]]. Both versions are sourced from a brand-new 4K transfer which underwent extensive color-correction and remastering, and a Steelbook packaging variant of the Blu-ray was also made available.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.shoutfactory.com/film/action-adventure/the-transformers-the-movie-limited-edition-30th-anniversary-steelbook The Transformers: The Movie Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Steelbook]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Steelbook Blu-ray was released in the UK by [[Manga Entertainment]] as a limited edition on December 12th, 2016, followed by a standard edition release a year later.&lt;br /&gt;
*On September 27, 2018, Fathom Events screened the movie at select theaters in the United States. The movie was preceded by an interview with [[Travis Knight]] and [[Hailee Steinfeld]] and a preview of a scene from &#039;&#039;[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]&#039;&#039;, and followed by a short featurette of Stan Bush discussing the music he contributed to the movie and performing acoustic versions of &#039;&#039;The Touch&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Dare&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/08/01/1986-transformers-movie-hitting-theaters-one-night-only-369314 1986 Transformers Movie Hitting Theaters One Night Only!]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Cineplex would later show the movie in Canadian theaters on October 4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Television broadcasts==&lt;br /&gt;
Following a segmented, five-part broadcast during [[The Transformers (cartoon)#Season 5|the fifth season of &#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039;]], the complete feature film was aired on American television in 1989 via Fox stations. Air dates and times were June 17 at Noon, July 30 at 11 A.M. and September 2 at 10 A.M. Of course, this was the language-edited video release from Family Home Entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The movie was aired on [[Hub Network|The Hub]] on February 18, 2012, following [[Orion Pax, Part 1|the Season 2 premiere]] of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]&#039;&#039; on what was called &amp;quot;Transformers Mega Saturday&amp;quot;. Uniquely, this version combined the European opening narration with the US scrawl-free opening credits, muted the two swear words (rendering the lines as &amp;quot;It isn&#039;t even dented! ...What do we do now?!&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Open... &#039;&#039;Open!&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;), used the European closing narration at the end, and sped up the scroll of the end credits to cut it down for time, ending the lyrics of the [[theme song]] around the beginning of its second verse (&amp;quot;Strong enough to break the bravest heart...&amp;quot;). Subsequent re-airings on The Hub aired this version of the movie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The American television airing of the feature film adds one extra sound effect, and it has never been heard in any other release. During the scene when Arcee is racing to jump aboard the departing Autobot shuttle, there is a distinctive sound effect when she jumps. In all other releases there is no sound effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A July 4, 2014 Hub broadcast of the movie markets it as &#039;&#039;Transformers: The Animated Movie&#039;&#039;, distinguishing it from that computer animation/live action [[Transformers (film)|hybrid film]] with the similar title made two decades and one year later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*According to [[Buzz Dixon]], Hasbro&#039;s decision to kill off Optimus Prime was actually an attempt to maintain some brand-storytelling parity with &#039;&#039;[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]&#039;&#039;, as Dixon had just convinced them to allow the death of [[Duke (G.I. Joe)|Duke]] in &#039;&#039;{{w|G.I. Joe: The Movie}}&#039;&#039; and both films were in production at the same time.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.joeheadquarters.com/interviews_dixon.shtml&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*This film was the last professional performance by [[Orson Welles]], who died only a month later. According to production materials shown at [[BotCon 2000]] by Tim Finn, the voice recording sessions for &#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039; were done on [[September 10]] and [[September 11|11]] of 1985. Welles died on [[October 10]] of that same year. It has often been speculated that Unicron&#039;s last line (&amp;quot;Destiny… you cannot destroy my destiny!&amp;quot;) was recorded by another actor—possibly [[Leonard Nimoy|Nimoy]]—because it sounds different than the other lines. This speculation has been quashed by statements by Transformers voice director [[Wally Burr]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://cybertronchronicle.freewebspace.com/60-astrominutes/wally-burr/wally-burr-3.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Windcharger wheeljack otp.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Uncle Owen! Aunt Beru!!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*With the exception of Starscream and possibly Shockwave, only the Autobots suffered fatalities in the movie. All of the other &amp;quot;dead&amp;quot; Decepticons from the Autobot City battle were rebuilt into Galvatron&#039;s new troops, and although more Decepticons were shown taking heavy damage and suffering huge casualties while fighting Unicron, their identities and their final condition are uncertain. Additionally, both Starscream and Unicron survived in the post-movie series in some form or another. Shockwave&#039;s death in the finished film is highly uncertain, although in the script it is fairly strongly implied. He does make some miscolored appearances in crowd shots in later cartoon episodes, but these are probably examples of the fairly common animation errors in those episodes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Somewhat ironically, though only three of the original eighteen Autobots - [[Jazz (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Jazz]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cliffjumper]], and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]] - are definitively shown to have survived the movie, two would quite literally never be heard from again: [[Scatman Crothers]] passed away (though this didn&#039;t stop Jazz from making any number of background cameos) while Casey Kasem [[Casey Kasem#Notes|quit the show early in the third season]]. Fate&#039;s finger is fickle indeed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Unicron&#039;s roars in the movie were stock vocalizations originally created for Marvel Productions&#039; 1982 &#039;&#039;The Incredible Hulk&#039;&#039; animated series and performed by voice actor Bob Holt, who voiced the [[Hulk]] in that show. Holt otherwise never voiced a character in the Marvel/Sunbow Transformers series (although he was a regular member of the &#039;&#039;{{gb|Challenge of the GoBots (cartoon)|Challenge of the GoBots}}&#039;&#039; cast as the original voice of [[Cop-Tur (GoBots)|Cop-Tur]]), and had passed away the year before &#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039; was released in 1986. Thus, Unicron has the distinction of featuring &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; posthumous performances for the same Transformers character in a single production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[:File:TFTM-MaybeBeachcomber.jpg|A robot resembling Beachcomber]] appears alongside Spike and the Autobots inside Unicron seconds before Daniel blasts the acid cover. Whether this was actually meant to be Beachcomber or just coincidental coloring is unknown, but regardless, Beachcomber shows up alive and well in &amp;quot;[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Pieces of music from the movie would later be used in the Commodore 64 version of &#039;&#039;Turrican&#039;&#039;. For instance, basically unaltered bits of &amp;quot;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWFx-Go6Y6A Escape]&amp;quot; make up [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6jjpwpDVNY Subsong Two of the game&#039;s title theme].&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Hotlink is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Sunstorm Cartoon.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|But can it do smoke rings? (Hotlink is the purple one in front.)]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Hotlink&#039;&#039;&#039; is a &amp;quot;Mechatronic Engineer&amp;quot; by trade but a gadget geek at heart. You&#039;ll never find him without his tool kit, and he&#039;s always ready to tinker up a new device to fit the needs of the moment. It&#039;s an affinity that transcends even Autobot or Decepticon factions for him. He&#039;ll be just as quick to geek out over an awesome Autobot weapon as one from his own team. And just as quick to &amp;quot;improve&amp;quot; it for his own enjoyment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His favorite creation of his own is the [[pyropathic flamethrower]]. The kids love that one. &lt;br /&gt;

Hotlink was one of the Decepticon jets on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] four million years ago. He used a flamethrower to enclose the [[Autobot]]s [[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]] in a circle of fire. They were nevertheless able to escape and plowed through Hotlink&#039;s patrol. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;

In [[2013]], Hotlink was part of the joint [[Autobot]]/[[Decepticon]] resistance on Cybertron against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]&#039;s [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian]] clone army in the [[Machine Wars (event)|Machine Wars]]. Two days before Jhiaxus&#039;s army arrived, Hotlink helped [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] fuse the controls for the [[space bridge]] control room. Despite their best efforts, however, the bridge could not be opened up from their end. They were ushered out of the room when [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] and [[Pyro (G1)|Pyro]] wished to talk in private. {{storylink|A Common Foe}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Five days later, he joined in an all-out assault on the Cybertronians, setting at least two clones ablaze with his flamethrower. {{storylink|Termination}}&lt;br /&gt;

Hotlink was one of many offworlders in [[Axiom Nexus]]&#039;s Under City. Hotlink was part of a crowd in [[Seeker-Shinai]] that [[Megatron (Movie)|C-81]] attempted to disperse through intimidation. Unfortunately, all the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] present were too stunned to see a &amp;quot;Megatron&amp;quot; in Axiom Nexus to budge. {{storylink|Cybertron&#039;s Most Wanted}}&lt;br /&gt;

His missile launchers can mount under his wings, on his shoulders, or in his fists, and fire spring-loaded projectiles. The large size of his launchers (necessary [[for safety reasons]]) restricts his arm movement somewhat in robot mode, as they bump into his wings. All three Rainmakers have slight tolerance issues with the white parts, making key joints juuuuuust a bit too tight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was only available in a [[BotCon 2013]] [[exclusive]] souvenir set with [[Bitstream (G1)#Timelines|Bitstream]] and [[Sunstorm (G1)#Timelines|Sunstorm]], limited to 2500 pieces. All three toys use exactly the same [[paint operation]]s and plastic layouts, with the only difference between the three being their primary plastic color.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Promoting the [[Netflix]]-original [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|&#039;&#039;War for Cybertron Trilogy&#039;&#039; cartoon]], Hotlink is a redeco of &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]&#039;&#039; [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Skywarp]], coloring him entirely purple while slathering him in an &#039;&#039;extensive&#039;&#039; paint wash coating to represent accumulated grime and battle scars. He transforms into a Cybertronian &amp;quot;tetrajet&amp;quot; based on the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers&#039;]] appearance in &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&amp;quot;, although the jet mode has &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;the robot-mode legs&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt; pretty much his &#039;&#039;entire robot body&#039;&#039; sticking out from the undercarriage. As a rather heavy [[shellformer]], Hotlink can easily be separated into both a wingless robot mode and a nearly complete tetrajet via a single friction hinge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He includes two &amp;quot;HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers,&amp;quot; which can mount on his upper arms or under the wings in jet mode (or in any other [[5 mm post|5 mm port]], really). As part of the &#039;&#039;Siege&#039;&#039; [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], Hotlink has 5 mm ports on his biceps, forearms, shins, under his feet (vehicle-mode thrusters), and wings. The 3 mm pegs on his shins, forearms, left bicep, and the tips of his null-rays can accommodate effects parts, like the ones that come with his pack-in partners, Battle Masters [[Heartburn#Toys|Heartburn]] and [[Heatstroke#Toys|Heatstroke]]. These two are nigh-identical redecoes of [[Blowpipe (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Blowpipe]] meant to be the flamethrowers the pre-retcon &amp;quot;Hotlink&amp;quot; used in the original 1984 cartoon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The military insignia on Hotlink&#039;s box places him in the Air Division as an Engineering Private.  His instructions, meanwhile, have him as a Ground Division Infantry General.  Given that puts him at the same rank as &#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;, his box prrrrobably has it right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As with other Netflix series figures, Hotlink was exclusive to [[Walmart]] in Canada and the United States, and in Japan as a [[TakaraTomy]] Mall exclusive.&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*Hotlink was a nameless walk-on in his first appearance in the original Generation 1 cartoon&#039;s first episode, &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&amp;quot;. He was given his name with his first toy in 2013, taken from [[Hotlink (WFC)|a more recent Aligned Seeker]]. Incidentally, [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hotlink &amp;quot;hotlink&amp;quot;] didn&#039;t exist as a word when he made his original fictional appearance! Maybe, back then, he just loved {{w|andouille}}.&lt;br /&gt;
*In the Japanese dub of &#039;&#039;The Transformers&#039;&#039; cartoon, Hotlink actually shouts out an anime-esque name for his special move involving the ring of fire: &amp;quot;Fire Attack!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*Coincidentally, &amp;quot;Hotlink&amp;quot; was originally intended by [[Fun Publications]] as the name for the orange [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] to be included in the [[BotCon 2013]] exclusive souvenir three-pack, back when [[e-HOBBY]] was planning to release their own exclusive [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] toy, and FunPub had thus changed the figure&#039;s intended color scheme to a more red-ish orange. At that time, the purple Seeker was intended to be named &amp;quot;Nacelle&amp;quot;. However, when the e-HOBBY figure didn&#039;t happen, the orange Seeker&#039;s identity was changed back to Sunstorm, he was given a more yellow-ish color scheme closer to FunPub&#039;s &#039;&#039;original&#039;&#039; original plans for the figure, and the name &amp;quot;Hotlink&amp;quot; was reassigned to the purple Seeker.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;bc13seekers&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/156054-generations-selects-brown-box-revealed-pg-7/page-9#entry3834842 Post by Fun Publications&#039; Jesse Wittenrich on The Allspark Forums, 15 January 2019]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;whois&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://twitter.com/JesseWittenrich/status/1096940990424854528 Series of posts by Jesse Wittenrich on Twitter, 16 February 2019]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The name &amp;quot;Nacelle&amp;quot; was later given to [[Nacelle (G1)|yet &#039;&#039;another&#039;&#039; Seeker]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Further confusion arose when the BotCon 2013 exclusive souvenir three-pack was given the name &amp;quot;Rainmakers&amp;quot;. [[Fun Publications]] employees subsequently confirmed that the pack&#039;s title was an error, and that they were indeed intended to be the &amp;quot;welcoming committee&amp;quot; from &amp;quot;More than Meets the Eye, Part 1&amp;quot;, with no intended direct connection to the the trio from &amp;quot;[[Divide and Conquer]]&amp;quot; known as the &amp;quot;[[Rainmaker]]s&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Bumblebee&#039;&#039;&#039; (Mini Vehicle, 1984-1986)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;11&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;C-56&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Bumblebee&#039;s original toy, released in 1984 and in Japan in 1985, originally hails from the &#039;&#039;[[Micro Change]]&#039;&#039; series, transforming into a &amp;quot;penny-racer&amp;quot;-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He was available through the first three years of the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; series, the entire duration of the [[Mini Vehicle]] assortment, the only 1984 Mini Vehicle to do so. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;Bee has a &#039;&#039;lot&#039;&#039; of minor variations. Throughout 1984 and 1985, Bumblebee was produced in both yellow and red (as was [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Cliffjumper]]), a move meant to &amp;quot;make the line look bigger&amp;quot; according to former [[Hasbro]] R&amp;amp;D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dunsay&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; For his 1984 release, both color versions had an Autobot sigil on the roof/chest. In 1985, this was replaced by a [[rubsign]]. The rubsign remained on the 1986 release, though he was only released in yellow that year. The original version of Bumblebee also features the &amp;quot;Dunlop&amp;quot; brand name stamped on his tires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Packaging-wise, there are several more variations. In 1984, the Mini Vehicles were packaged in vehicle mode. Come 1985, a picture of the toy in vehicle mode was added to the front of the card, and &#039;&#039;later&#039;&#039; the toys proper were packaged in robot mode. From this point on, the Mini Vehicles were also part of two different pack-in promotions; the [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] and iron-on reflective patches. The Mini-spies packed in with Bumblebee and Cliffjumper only came in white, one of the three possible colors for the add-ons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: For his 1985 Japanese release, Bumblebee came in a small box rather than on a card.  He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol. He was also released in the 1986 assortment, but only in yellow. This is why he has two ID numbers in Japan; in 1986, the line switched from a single-series number listing to splitting it up between &amp;quot;C&amp;quot; (Cybertron/Autobot) and &amp;quot;D&amp;quot; (Destron/Decepticon) groupings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Bumblebee was released in a wide variety of colors in markets south of the border, which will be covered in separate entries below (as to not make this entry unreadably long; there&#039;s a &#039;&#039;ton&#039;&#039; of variants and more keep popping up!). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In the early 1990s, Bumblebee was one of many Transformers &#039;&#039;finally&#039;&#039; released in China. He comes on a card nigh-identical to the original Hasbro packaging, with a few Chinese-language stickers added. The toy itself has some notable differences from the original, however: aside from an unpainted rear bumper (the most obvious difference), this Bumblebee has a paler, less-saturated yellow plastic. He also only came in yellow, and only came with a rubsign. This toy, along with many other Chinese-market Transformers at the time, somehow made their way to UK stores, most notably Woolworths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was later [[retool]]ed into a [[#Keychain|keychain version of Bumblebee]], as well as for a [[#TFCollection|&#039;&#039;Transformers Collection&#039;&#039; multipack]] (see below).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The original mold is also used by the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus-faction]] [[Volks (G1)|Volks]]. Later [[retool]]ings of this mold were used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]] and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Bumblebee&#039;&#039;&#039; (Mini Vehicle, 1985)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Bumblebee came in a wide variety of colors: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, silver, and white. The silver and white versions are particularly notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces. The sticker on the back of Mexican Bumblebee&#039;s head is also slightly different from the Hasbro/Takara release, being the same general design, but smaller and with thicker, simpler lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Volks&#039;&#039;&#039; (Robocar, 1985)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Bumblebee was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar &amp;quot;Volks&amp;quot;, initially available in two color schemes: his original yellow and black, and slick-looking silver and black with a gold face, both decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests based on the original &#039;&#039;[[Micro Change]]&#039;&#039; decals. The design of the sticker on the back of his head was also changed to a more complex grid pattern. The raised &amp;quot;DUNLOP&amp;quot; branding on the tires was also removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Later, Estrela released red and orange versions of Volks sporting the new &amp;quot;[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]&amp;quot; faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Volks is considered a [[Volks (G1)|separate character]] from Bumblebee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Volks&#039;&#039;&#039; (Robocar, 1985)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The aforementioned red and orange versions of Volks were released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, both sporting the Estrela stickers and &amp;quot;DUNLOP&amp;quot;-less tires. Later releases of the orange version have been found with different paper stickers: the one on his chest/roof being one that was originally applied to [[Salt-Man Z]]&#039;s groin. (The back-of-the-head decal was &#039;&#039;probably&#039;&#039; also changed, but right know we don&#039;t know for sure.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The card&#039;s toy photogrpahy depicts the Estrela yellow and silver versions, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was never sold in Argentina.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Bumblebee&#039;&#039;&#039; (Mini Vehicle, 1985)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Bumblebee by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro yellow and red versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the &amp;quot;plate&amp;quot; part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Bumblebee&#039;&#039;&#039; (Mini Vehicle, 1986)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Bumblebee is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, three different colorations have been confirmed: the original yellow-and-black, red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be &#039;&#039;six&#039;&#039; different versions of Peruvian Bumblebee all told, with the three others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}} &lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Goldbugg1toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Older, squatter, faster.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Goldbug&#039;&#039;&#039; (Throttlebot, 1987)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;C-97&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The [[Throttlebot]] Goldbug was released in 1987, and like the other Throttlebots, he has a pull-back motor and a simple transformation.  The vehicle mode was not designed to look like a penny racer, as the original toy was, so its variation on the Volkswagen Beetle was much more realistically-proportioned.  Despite being made of gold plastic, he does not seem to suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]].  Though the other Throttlebots seem to have always been intended to be new characters, Goldbug&#039;s head was based directly on that of Bumblebee&#039;s original toy.  Bumblebee was the second Transformer to be given a second toy (as both [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and Rodimus Prime had been released the previous year).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The Throttlebots were part of the [[Decoy]] promotion in 1987, where the carded toys came with a soft-rubber figuring. The Throttlebots were the only team to come with either Autobot or Decepticon Decoys; the other toys in the promotion only came with Decoys of the same faction they belonged to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This toy also doubles as the &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]&#039;&#039; incarnation of [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Pretender shell, helmet, large &amp;quot;sonic blaster&amp;quot; rifle, small &amp;quot;laser pistol&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As part of the sixth year of Generation 1, Bumblebee was released as a &amp;quot;[[Classic Pretender]]&amp;quot;, expanding the range of [[Pretender]]s toys. This version of Bumblebee is still a Volkswagen Beetle, but now has what look like off-road tires. His vehicle mode has a realistically-proportioned front end, but the cab area is more relatively compact than on the Goldbug toy (though not quite as deformed as the original Bumblebee). He came with a gun for his robot mode that could be mounted on his roof and another gun for his human shell. Oddly, the robot&#039;s head is modeled after [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper&#039;s]] toy head.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the second wave of single-carded [[Action Master]] figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that mixed cartoon model with toy-detail. He comes with his [[Heli-pack]] that transforms into a large &amp;quot;high-powered air rifle&amp;quot; with spring-loaded deploying barrel. Bumblebee and his Heli-pack are cross-compatible with any other Action Master figure, vehicle or accessory; plus the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

:Goldbug, and the rest of the Throttlebots, were reissued in Europe in 1991 as part of the [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] reissues. It was [[retool]]ed to remove the [[rubsign]] indent, and the heat-sensitive decal was replaced with a glossy-paper faction symbol. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Bumblebee was reissued as a keychain by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Along with having its rear bumper [[retool]]ed to accommodate the chain, the keychain form lacked the &amp;quot;Dunlop&amp;quot; text on the tires. The toy also returned to its original sticker set-up, doing away with the rubsign and restored the Autobot symbol on his chest. They keychain version of this figure was made available again in 2007, this time released by Basic Fun under the &amp;quot;[[Heroes of Cybertron]]&amp;quot; banner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In Japan, all four Mini-Bot keychains were released in Japan in 2003 as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. Each of the keychains also had a black &amp;quot;[[Chase figure|chase]]&amp;quot; version. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Bumble|an evil clone]] of Bumblebee.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Bumblebee&#039;s first &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; toy was a [[redeco]] of his original toy, transforming into a &amp;quot;Penny Racer&amp;quot;-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. However, this version has yellow chrome on the previously matte-yellow plastics. Thankfully, there seem to be few to no reports of chrome flaking on any of the &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; Mini Vehicles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure pictured here features a G1 Autobot [[Insignia]] on his chest/roof, but this is nonstandard. The figure as released featured a bare chest/roof. The only symbol on the figure is the G2 Autobot Insignia stamped on the bottom of his foot followed by the word Autobot.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Bumblebee&#039;s second release in the &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; line was as a recolor of the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[High Beam]], transforming into a concept race car with exposed rear engine that looks &#039;&#039;exactly&#039;&#039; like the [[Wikia:hotwheels:Speed Blaster|Speed Blaster]] car from Mattel&#039;s &#039;&#039;Hot Wheels&#039;&#039; line that was first released in 1991 under the names &amp;quot;Back Burner&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Sonic Special&amp;quot;. He features through-axle construction for incredibly fast zipping on flat, smooth surfaces, and is compatible with many tracks and playsets from &#039;&#039;Hot Wheels&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Matchbox&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

This time around, Bumblebee was [[retool]]ed to have a new [[Show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] head. Additionally, this version of the figure gave Bumblebee both an Autobot symbol &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; a rubsign, keeping the former in its traditional placement on his chest, and relocating the rubsign to the back of his head, replacing the original tech-detailing sticker that had previously been there.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: One of the earliest proposals in the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]&#039;&#039; line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Cliffjumper]] as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with &amp;quot;war toys&amp;quot; [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#MP21|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Binaltech &amp;amp; TF Collection Complete Guide]]&#039;&#039; book. The design did, however, end up appearing fictionally as Bumblebee&#039;s form in the &amp;quot;[[Descent into Evil]]&amp;quot; comic.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called &amp;quot;[[Wave Crusher]]&amp;quot; on a trailer.  This is a bit similar than his Action Master toy&#039;s transforming heli-pack.

:&#039;&#039;[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]&#039;&#039; Bumblebee is a redeco of [[#Classics|&#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Bumblebee.]] Bumblebee swaps some of his black plastic for dark gray, and his light gray plastic for yellow.  His yellow plastic is almost entirely covered in yellow paint to deal with the common problem of yellow plastic being near-translucent against darker plastics and the inconsistency between bare plastic parts and painted clear parts. His eyes are painted blue despite being molded in translucent plastic.  As with all &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; toys, he lacks the &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; heat-sensitive rubsign, but has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts: his hood-mounted scoop and his spoiler.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Classics|Cliffjumper]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:The &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Encore]]&#039;&#039; series of reissues featured a set similar to the 2004 &#039;&#039;The Transformers Collection&#039;&#039; Minibots set; this time, rather than a mix of 1984 and 1985 Mini-Vehicles, it included mostly figures from 1986 plus Bumblebee (whose original toy had still shipped in 1986), bundling him with [[Outback (G1)#Encore|Outback]], [[Pipes (G1)#Encore|Pipes]], [[Swerve (G1)#Encore|Swerve]], and [[Tailgate (G1)#Encore|Tailgate]]. &#039;&#039;Encore&#039;&#039; Bumblebee retains the [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] head sculpt from the &#039;&#039;Transformers Collection&#039;&#039; release, but now sports several additional paint operations: his eyes are blue, his brake lights are red, and his bumpers and headlights are silver.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; Legends class Bumblebee has a vehicle mode that is something of an amalgamation of the vehicle forms recent Bumblebees have adopted. While he forms a modern hatchback like the &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Bumblebee and &#039;&#039;Animated&#039;&#039; Bumblebee toys, the more aggressive design with large flared wheel arches, and small windows evoke the look of the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] version of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. He transforms similarly to, but not exactly the same as, his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section. The hip ball-joints are also fragile, as one of them can eventually break if one attempts to separate it, or twisting it with a slightly warped ball joint.&lt;br /&gt;

As noted above, he also features a silver front bumper and other painted details different from his previous TakaraTomy release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, because he is packaged in robot mode and his vehicle shell is entirely coated in paint, quite a number of Bumblebees have the gold paint between their jointed leg/hood panels and feet scratched off &#039;&#039;out of the box&#039;&#039;, resulting in ugly scored lines on the hood in vehicle mode. &lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Small pistol&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: A boxed set of five Kreons, with Bumblebee, [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Red Alert]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Mirage]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Jazz]] and a fifth &amp;quot;mystery&amp;quot; Kreon; a randomly-packed robot Kreon from the first year of the line.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Rack, rifle, large gun, axe, [[jet pack|rocket-pack]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first assortment of &amp;quot;Custom Kreons&amp;quot;, this version of Bumblebee comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His [[tampograph]]s are much more heavily-detailed than the original Kreon, based on the [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Bumblebee toy]]. His &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; helmet and large rifle are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the &#039;&#039;Kre-O Battleship&#039;&#039; aliens), plus a buildable hand-cannon, rocket-pack and energon axe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Bumblebee&#039;s tampos were also used to make Custom Kreon [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Custom|Cliffjumper]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;:  Scoped pistol&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This version of Bumblebee, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]], has much more toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior versions, including visored-and-masked face. He uses the [[Prowl (Kre-O)|Prowl]] style door-wings, which is really odd considering the toy he&#039;s based on does not have said feature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed &amp;quot;Class of 1984&amp;quot;, [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, but the set actually sold out at the show.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Scoped pistol&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Sold only at discount chains like Family Dollar, this version of Bumblebee uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years&#039; worth of Kreons. Nice. His face tampograph is new, but his torso uses the &amp;quot;Class of &#039;84&amp;quot; deco.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year large Bumblebee (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other &amp;quot;new&amp;quot; with some basic bricks and plates, as well as a set of axles, rims and tires. The set has no instructions, as it&#039;s just a box of bricks to makes whatever with.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:All of the 2015 &#039;&#039;Transformers [[Kre-O]]&#039;&#039; product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets.

&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;Mini-Con Combiner&amp;quot;&#039; Bumblebee comes with one standard Kreon and four &#039;&#039;Cityville&#039;&#039;-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The torso-Kreon and one Mini-Con are based on versions of Generation 1 Bumblebee: [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|&#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039;]] (with an arm-cannon instead of a hand-held blaster, oddly) and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|&amp;quot;Thrilling 30&amp;quot; Bumblebee]] (Prowl helmet) respectively. The remaining three Mini-Con Bumblebees are based on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|&amp;quot;Aligned&amp;quot; Bumblebee]] bodies: &#039;&#039;[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; (Bumblebee helmet), &#039;&#039;[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Prime cartoon|Prime]]&#039;&#039; (Ratchet helmet), and &#039;&#039;[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Rescue Bots cartoon|Rescue Bots]]&#039;&#039; (Jazz helmet).  &lt;br /&gt;

He transforms into a muscle car that resembles a fifth generation [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Ford Mustang|Ford Mustang]], and comes with two &amp;quot;stinger blasters&amp;quot; which peg via 5mm post into his hands, forearms, and rear vehicle sides, and can also combine into a large weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The American release is packed in with a copy of &#039;&#039;[[The Question|Spotlight: Bumblebee]]&#039;&#039;, with a cropped version of the [[Clayton Crain]] RI cover that is called out as a &#039;[[Hasbro]] Exclusive Cover&#039;.

The same applied to the packaged sample on display at [[BotCon 2013]]. Fortunately, the final toy sports the stripes after all. For their own official website, Hasbro remedied this with a new set of stock photos that are more representative of the final product... which were later replaced with the inaccurate photos.&lt;br /&gt;

The figure&#039;s transformation engineering takes cues from the &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; Cyberverse Bumblebee figure. Bumblebee also features 5mm-compatible hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like every Cyber Series figures, Bumblebee was available in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com, initially not hitting mass retail anywhere besides Asia and Latin America. However, alongside Starscream and Optimus Prime, it eventually saw a limited release in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and was later widely available as a Walgreens exclusive.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:This Hasbro version of [[#MP21|&#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; MP-21 Bumblebee]] is virtually unchanged from its Takara counterpart. All accessories included with the MP-21 version (minus the retailer-exclusive battle mask) are present in this release. Unlike the Takara version which (confusingly) identifies the Exosuit figure as Spike or Daniel, this version identifies him as just Spike. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Oddly, the instruction manual and package has a couple quirks—first, stock photos of Bumblebee&#039;s robot mode show his hood vent flap exposed and his backpack untransformed, where the flap should be tucked into its compartment in his pelvis and the backpack rotated, then the bumper folded in. The instructions also show this, but it shows the steps for tucking in the flap and transforming the backpack. Second, the instructions for the swappable face gimmick has two errors: The regular face is shown twice instead of the smiling face being swapped, and the battle mask is shown in the instructions, despite not being included with the actual toy.&lt;br /&gt;

As with some of the &#039;&#039;Titans Return&#039;&#039; Legends Class figures, Bumblebee features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any Titan Master figures to ride inside him. He also features 5mm-compatible hands, although the yellow piece can prevent any weapon&#039;s slightly longer posts to peg down through his hands. Also, take note that the vehicle back wings/shoulder kibble can sometimes block the way for wielding weapons; however the shoulder parts can be swapped for better tolerance, but prevents him from fully transforming into vehicle mode. Oddly, his molded license plate reads &amp;quot;100 STRA&amp;quot; which is a variation of his movie counterpart&#039;s &amp;quot;900 STRA&amp;quot; plate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Although the instructions tell [[you]] to immediately swing down the chest/vehicle roof to his shoulders/vehicle rear, you have to give a slight opening gap on the shoulder parts in vehicle form before you swing the roof piece down, and squeeze the shoulders against the piece until it clicks properly (make sure the rear vehicle&#039;s pegs and the shoulder&#039;s rectangle holes are in place first). Take note that where the tail-end of the chest/roof hinge piece is prone to paint chipping due to the friction between both hinged vehicle rear pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was also used to make [[Chase (G1)#Generations|Roadburn]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of Bumblebee is a retool of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Earthrise&#039;&#039;]] [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], having all of the original figure&#039;s vehicle mode parts replaced with those of a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] Volkswagen Beetle without the &amp;quot;penny racer&amp;quot; proportions, along with a new head sculpt. In keeping with his depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media, this figure is much smaller than a typical Deluxe Class and is closer to being a particularly large Legends Class-sized figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper&#039;s bazooka, which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his wheels. The backend of the cannon is folded out to fit in his car mode&#039;s underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car trunk can either be put into the robot mode&#039;s back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows and a complex transformation scheme. Bumblebee also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; figure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like all Deluxe Class figures of the &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; subline, Bumblebee includes numerous 5 mm ports for attaching other accessories, but due to his small size, he can&#039;t easily accommodate an entire Modulator or Weaponizer figure. His blaster is sold separately as part of the &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]&#039;&#039; [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp horns before it was rounded off in the actual product. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Bumblebee was released as a part of the Walmart-exclusive &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron Trilogy&#039;&#039; toyline, promoting the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-original series]] of the same name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The original mold was differently retooled into &#039;&#039;[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]&#039;&#039; [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]]. &lt;br /&gt;

: Part of Wave 1 of Construct-Bots Triple-Changers, Bumblebee can transform into a sports car-like thing or a jet-like thing. He is heavily armed with two large shoulder-mounted launchers, a third launcher hidden in his jet mode nosecone as well as two large swords.&lt;br /&gt;

: Part of Wave 2 of Construct-Bots Scouts, Bumblebee can transform into a car. He uses largely the same part scheme as Triple Changer Bumblebee, except his head is remolded to have his battle mask up, and uses Ironhide&#039;s shoulders. He also lacks the two shoulder-mounted launchers as well as his rear wheel wells and spoiler attachments, making his vehicle mode appear much smaller. He swaps out his dual longswords for the fork blade originally included with Optimus Prime. His color scheme changes the original&#039;s orange to a neon yellow and most of his black details to a lighter blue.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Blaster/Hand Cannon&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Available only at [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK, and Germany, this two-pack includes a &amp;quot;Classic&amp;quot; Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Legends Class Bumblebee, cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]&#039;s [[MechTech]] weapon that turns into a hand cannon when the scope is pulled. This weapon can either be plugged via 5mm post on his roof/back or held in hand. As with all other &#039;&#039;MechTech&#039;&#039; Deluxe weapon accessories, the converted weapon cannot lock into place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Pieces&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;9&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Blaster&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]&#039;&#039; basic Action Figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. His robot mode takes many design cues from his Deluxe Class &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]&#039;&#039; toy. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any &#039;&#039;Hero Mashers&#039;&#039; accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all &#039;&#039;Hero Mashers&#039;&#039; lines, not just the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039;-branded ones).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other &#039;&#039;Hero Mashers&#039;&#039; figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], &#039;&#039;[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]&#039;&#039;, meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: His left forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Cliffjumper&#039;s]] arm in the [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Bulkhead]] set.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Pieces&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;23&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: Jetpack, axe/missile launcher, 2 &amp;quot;Dino Claw Missiles&amp;quot;, buzzsaw, 2 twin-blasters&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of a &amp;quot;Team Pack&amp;quot; with [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Strafe]], this release of Bumblebee is basically identical to his individual release, but lacking his silver blaster. Instead, he can be equipped with any of the pack&#039;s various accessories (which can be argued also belonging to Strafe but whatever), including a winged jetpack and a spring-loaded &amp;quot;Dino Claw Missile&amp;quot; launcher that doubles as an axe. The spare missile can be pegged to any standard &#039;&#039;Hero Mashers&#039;&#039; peg-hole, though it sits pretty shallowly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: There are two different releases of this set, each one containing the same parts, but arranged differently. One has Strafe much more visibly pulled apart, with the resulting part-spread meaning the jetpack ends up hidden under the packaging photo on the lower-left corner under Bumblebee&#039;s feet.&lt;br /&gt;

:Another release of the 2014 &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; sculpt. The deco is a hybrid between the [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] exclusive &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]&#039;&#039; Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] release of the sculpt and the &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; release from 2012: The Autobot insignia is placed on the chest/roof again (like on the &#039;&#039;Dark of the Moon&#039;&#039; version), but the &amp;quot;running boards&amp;quot; on the sides of the vehicle mode are still unpainted (like on the 2012 release). Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; Legends Class Bumblebee/Blazemaster two-pack&#039;s packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Bumblebee&#039;s packaging and only slightly altered, sporting a highly inaccurate deco and even advertising a &amp;quot;[[Reveal the Shield]]&amp;quot; [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn&#039;t actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro&#039;s official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the sculpt&#039;s 2012 release&#039;s deco.&lt;br /&gt;
:[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee-packaging-variants.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|left|2014 packaging left, 2015 packaging right.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:Legion Class Bumblebee has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. In addition, the version with a black insignia was later re-released in 2015, this time in packaging mimicking the then-current &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; packaging design, but replacing the name &amp;quot;Generations&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;Authentic Transformers&amp;quot;. It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released &#039;&#039;again&#039;&#039;, this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version&#039;s packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing &amp;quot;Reveal the Shield&amp;quot; gimmick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Bumble&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[November 29]], [[2014]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-21&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Laser Gun&amp;quot; pistol, rear-view mirrors, [[Exosuit#Masterpiece|Excelsuit]], spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face, &amp;quot;Battle Face&amp;quot; ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Bumble transforms into an officially-licensed Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle. As with other figures in the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]] in robot mode (making his car mode very out of proportions with the other &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; cars), and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime&#039;s trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Bumblebee lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. Accurate to the real-life Type 1 Beetle, he only has one mirror, on the driver&#039;s side; an extra is included in case of loss or breakage. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For accessories, he comes with his gun (called &#039;&#039;Lazer Gun&#039;&#039; {{sic}} in the instructions), a second interchangeable face with [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Armada|an open-mouth smile]] to replace his regular neutral face, and a spare tire cover that can be plugged on the rear of his vehicle mode by pulling away the license plate, which then fits inside the cover. The cover mounts on his back in robot mode; indeed, it only &#039;&#039;exists&#039;&#039; in order to replicate the large yellow circle on the back of Bumblebee&#039;s [[character model]], a visual adaptation of some molded circular detail on his original toy. Illustrating its non-essential vehicle mode role, it can also be stored out of view on the car&#039;s underside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:To make up for the smaller size of Bumblebee when compared to other figures in the Masterpiece line (and to keep up with the price tag), MP-21 comes with an Exosuit figure, which can transform into its vehicle mode as seen in &#039;&#039;The Movie&#039;&#039;. The figure itself is referred to only as &amp;quot;Excelsuit&amp;quot; (the Japanese G1 dub name) on the instruction book, but according to the line-art included in &#039;&#039;The Transformers Masterpiece Official Guide&#039;&#039;, it&#039;s supposed to be [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Daniel Witwicky]], though the back of the box refers to it as Spike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]], one additionally gets an interchangeable &amp;quot;Battle Face&amp;quot; based on the original G1 toy&#039;s one. If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the face. The coin package is shaped like his head, and identifies him as &amp;quot;Bumblebee Autobot&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

:A redeco of &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Bumble in [[#Generation 2|shiny &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; gold]], this version does not come with an Exosuit figure. Instead, he comes with a three-piece jetpack, as worn by Bumblebee in the cartoon episode &amp;quot;[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]&amp;quot;. The toy-inspired &amp;quot;battle face&amp;quot; from the normal version&#039;s Amazon Japan special release is included as the default face, along with the two cartoon-based faces from the original release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He also comes with an extra [[sticker|sticker sheet]] for customization. The sheet includes both Generation 1 and &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; style Autobot insignias in two different sizes, two yellow &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; style &amp;quot;AUTOBOT&amp;quot; logos (as was stamped on the original toys), &#039;&#039;180 Deceps&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;I♥Cybertron&#039;&#039; (from his appearance in the [[The Planet-Eater!|Marvel Comics adaptation of &#039;&#039;Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039;]]), and the &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;I♥NY&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; license plate decal as seen in the episode &amp;quot;[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The non-Japanese Asian market version came with a special collector&#039;s coin. The coin package is once again shaped like Bumblebee&#039;s head (with the &amp;quot;battle face&amp;quot; faceplate on the front), but actually identifies him as Goldbug. Go figure.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: pistol, rear-view mirrors, spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Another redeco of &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Bumble, in red colors (based on his original G1 toy variant) and chromed bumpers. &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Bumble Red Body was released as a Cybertron Satellite exclusive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:As usual, the version supplied from Hasbro Asia came with a special collector&#039;s coin. This time, the package is shaped like the Beetle&#039;s front hood, and the coin identifies him as &amp;quot;Bumblebee Red Boby&amp;quot; {{sic}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Cybertron Espionage Bumble (Ver. 2.0)&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[November 24]], [[2019]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-45&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: 2 faces, firing effect, small blaster, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#MP45|Spike Witwicky]] figure, I (heart) NY license plate&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Cybertron Espionage&amp;quot; is an all-new mold of the Bumble character, transforming from robot into a show-and-toy-accurate Penny Racer-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He comes with his handgun, now with its own blast effect, 2 faces, a license plate from the episode &amp;quot;[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]&amp;quot;, and a small posable figure of Spike, which can fit in his vehicle mode. While the car mode can be displayed with the doors open, sitting the mini-figure in requires separating its front halves and folding up the windscreen+car hood assembly. Like the other &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Autobot cars, Bumble can fit in Convoy&#039;s (MP-10 and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|MP-44]]) Trailer. Bumble comes with a sheet of optional stickers: Two hearts for his license plate, the ice cream splotches for his shoulders seen in &amp;quot;[[Child&#039;s Play (episode)|Child&#039;s Play]]&amp;quot;, the brown [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|disease patches]] seen in &amp;quot;[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]&amp;quot;, and the [[Morphobot]] tentacle seen in &amp;quot;[[Quest for Survival]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Unfortunately, due to the sake of show-accuracy, this Bumble ends up having most of his kibble present on his rear ankles and a glaring backpack when viewed at any angle other than his front, which also collides with his lower waist, effectively neutering the usage of his waist swivel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:After the official images&#039; reveal, Hasbro requested a number of sites (including a few listings like Amazon Japan) to take down the pictures, until they were allowed to post them again, several hours later. Initially set for a late September release, Bumblebee was pushed back to [[November 24|late November]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Bumble comes with a die-cast token modeled after the Matrix of Leadership, and like the collector coins, the token had Bumblebee&#039;s head, the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; logo and the ID number engraved on it. Strangely enough, the box used for imported releases omits Bumble&#039;s name and just refers him as &amp;quot;Cybertron Espionage&amp;quot; while the box itself retains Bumble&#039;s (Japanese) name.&lt;br /&gt;

His car mode is built on a generic &#039;&#039;Choro-Q&#039;&#039; chassis outfitted with an electric motor and can be remote-controlled using a smartphone app. While the chassis is physically generic, its firmware identifies it as belonging to the Bumblebee kit, and the smartphone app&#039;s controls adopt a yellow and black theme to match, complete with Autobot logo on the steering wheel hub.&lt;br /&gt;

:The INFOBAR figures celebrate 15 years since the 2002 au Design Project that resulted in the INFOBAR cellphone, as well as the 10th anniversary of the [[Live-action film series|live-action films]]. He transforms into a (non-functional) scaled-down replica of the 2002 au INFOBAR, and in lieu of cellphone functions, the figure can be paired via Bluetooth with a smartphone, such as an iPhone, to act as a notification alarm in either robot or INFOBAR mode.

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of the &#039;&#039;[[Vintage G1]]&#039;&#039; line, Bumblebee is a nearly-identical reissue of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]&#039;&#039; Bumble, using the newly tooled head introduced in &#039;&#039;[[#The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]]&#039;&#039; and the many deco alterations. The only &amp;quot;major&amp;quot; difference is the &#039;&#039;Vintage G1&#039;&#039; version has production information tampographed onto the sole of his right foot. He&#039;s the only Minibot in &#039;&#039;Vintage G1&#039;&#039; to not have a [[rubsign]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Despite these differences from the original, card still displays the original toy-based package art. Of particular note is that this is the first ever release of this figure that&#039;s identified on its packaging as being an &amp;quot;official licensed product&amp;quot; approved by Volkswagen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Like all &#039;&#039;Vintage G1&#039;&#039; figures, Bumblebee was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada. He was also available at general retail in Hong Kong, and exclusive to the website of Australian fashion chain Cotton On. Oddly, the Australian release came in [[multilingual packaging]] intended for the European market, a rare but not entirely unheard of occurrence. Due to the limited space on the back, this, unfortunately, means the iconic [[Tech Spec]] card is omitted, replaced by parental warnings in 24 languages about the possibility of breakage due to excessive force, and that parts are not designed to reattach. In Singapore, Bumblebee was released as a giveaway for their screenings of the [[Bumblebee (film)|&#039;&#039;Bumblebee&#039;&#039; live-action movie]].&lt;br /&gt;

Collectors first had an opportunity to purchase the figure in-person at an event at Tokyo Dome from [[November 3]]–4, 2019, starting at 8:30 AM JST.  In-person purchasers needed to have a ticket to the band&#039;s concert in order to purchase the figure. Online orders were also available at noon on [[November 8]], 2019, and quickly sold out. Due to demand, a second run of the toy was made available on [[November 11]], 2019, with the second run shipping in March 2020.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Dinoking is a [[Decepticon]] [[Combiner]] from the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Dinoking.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|Dinosaur King is what you wanna be, yeah&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Dinosaur King is your destiny, yeah&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;C&#039;mon an&#039; make your move!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinoking&#039;&#039;&#039; (ダイノキング &#039;&#039;Dainokingu&#039;&#039;) is the combination of all six [[Dinoforce]] warriors. With the bodies and minds of all six members combined into one he is the top Decepticon when it comes to mindless violence. He enhances the natural abilities of all the members of the force and adds a few of his own. His brain power however, is about the same as any individual Dinoforce member, and he is somewhat insubordinate when it comes to taking orders and prefers to go about fighting in his own fashion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking has a fierce rivalry with the [[Autobot]] [[Combiner]], [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]]. He will stop at nothing to destroy his enemy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking is composed of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Goryu (Victory)|Goryu]] (leader, left leg)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Kakuryu]] (upper torso)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gairyu]] (left arm)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Yokuryu]] (right arm)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Rairyu]] (lower torso)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Doryu]] (right leg)&lt;br /&gt;

The [[Dinoforce]] used Dinoking for the first time when they battled the [[Brainmaster]]s. The Dinoforce got their butts kicked, until [[Goryu (Victory)|Goryu]] gave the order to combine into Dinoking. Now they could easily take on the Brainmasters, though [[Holi]], watching them on the main screen at Galaxy Base, was unimpressed with the new gestalt. His appraisal was proven correct when [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] shortly arrived and slashed Dinoking, causing him to split into his components. {{storylink|Sneak Attack! Dinoking}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an attempt to please [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], [[Leozack]] took the Dinoforce to attack Star Saber at [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]]&#039;s new school. The three Brainmasters arrived and angered Goryu with insults, prompting him to command another Dinoking fusion. The Brainmasters responded by combining into the mighty [[Road Caesar]] and were able to defeat the Dinoforce easily. {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AttackLeozack Dinoking medium shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]&lt;br /&gt;
When the Breastforce came up with a plan to capture a power plant, the Dinoforce was sent to carry it out. The [[Multiforce]] arrived to stop them, but Goryu ordered his team to combine. Dinoking fought them and weakened the Multiforce until [[Machtackle]] suggested they too combine. Leozack blocked their first attempt, then berated Dinoking over the amount of damage they were causing to the plant. After [[Drillhorn (Victory)|Drillhorn]] also got on Dinoking&#039;s case, the Multiforce combined into [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]] and challenged Dinoking to a fight. This proved unwise, as Landcross was almost beaten to death by Dinoking, Leozack and Drillhorn until Star Saber arrived. Dinoking almost defeated Star Saber, but only because the Autobot leader was holding back until the civilians were evacuated. Once that was done, Star Saber trounced Dinoking easily, forcing the Dinoforce to separate and retreat. {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leozack then approached Dinoforce while they were relaxing on an island and ordered them to attack a children&#039;s amusement park. The Autobot Brainmasters and [[Rescue Patrol Team]] arrived to confront them, but Dinoking&#039;s battle with Road Caesar was cut short when Leozack abandoned the combiner. Dinoking retreated too, but the Dinoforce were still amused by Leozack&#039;s toadying to Deathsaurus. {{storylink|Move Out! Rescue Team}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticon Breastforce took control of a mine and needed the Dinoforce to help take its energy. Angered when Star Saber&#039;s ran his V-Star into him, Goryu ordered his team to form Dinoking. However, one blow from Star Saber&#039;s sword again forced them back into their single robot modes. {{storylink|Infiltration... The Uranium Mine}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TankerHijack Dinoking blow to the head.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Why does this always happen to me?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Due the arrival of [[Liokaiser]], the combined form of Breastforce, it would be some time before Dinoking would show himself again. In an attempt to calm Deathsaurus&#039;s growing anger, Drillhorn came up with a plan to steal a tanker full of energy. At the same time, the Dinoforce would plant a bomb in the city to keep the Autobots at bay. After battling Star Saber and the Brainmasters as a group, they merged into Dinoking to finish off the Autobots, but Star Saber kept Dinoking at bay till until [[Braver]] was able to find the bomb. Then [[Blacker]] and [[Laster]] joined the fight, and the Breastforce and Dinoforce retreated, the plan having ended in failure. {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RescueJean Dinoking stock pose.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking was needed again in [[Hellbat (Victory)|Hellbat]]&#039;s latest plan, which involved kidnapping Jan and Holi. [[Kakuryu]] was unsure about the way Hellbat treated them, and Jan and Holi were able to fool Kakuryu and sneak out. Soon after, Star Saber and [[Galaxy Shuttle]] arrived. Dinoking battled Star Saber, but turned and ran when Galaxy Shuttle transformed. {{storylink|Rescue Jan!!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking, Leozack and Hellbat attacked an energy stockpile in the middle of nowhere, but the raid was stopped by a new Autobot: the rebuilt God Ginrai, now called Victory Leo. After Leo easily defeated Leozack, Hellbat and their [[Breast Animal]]s, Dinoking attempted to stop the Autobot by tossing a massive energy container on him, but Leo shot the container and almost vaporised Dinoking. It was not pretty. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:DefendTheCampus Dinoking&#039;s cannon.jpg|left|upright=1.15|thumb|&amp;quot;Say hello to my little obligatory Scarface reference!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking reappeared a little bit later when the Decepticons attacked Jan&#039;s school again. This time, however, he was up against Star Saber and Victory Leo&#039;s new, combined form, Victory Saber. Despite Dinoking having a new weapon, the [[Dinoblaster cannon]], he was still defeated by the Autobot and forced back into his individual robot modes yet again. {{storylink|Jan - Defend the Campus!!}}&lt;br /&gt;

After Deathsaurus abandoned the Dinoforce, they continued to attack cities as Dinoking, unaware of the betrayal. They faced Victory Leo and Star Saber again, but when the two Autobots fled, he believed they were fleeing from him—until he turned around and saw the incoming meteor fired by Deathsaurus&#039;s fortress. Dinoking was blasted apart by the explosion, and a badly-damaged Goryu was rushed to Autobot Shuttle base for repairs. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Much later, when Dinoking finally showed himself again, Star Saber was forced to battle [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], [[Liokaiser]] and Dinoking all at once. Before they could destroy him, a new Autobot warrior named Victory Leo arrived and struck back. Star Saber and Victory Leo combined into the powerful Autobot Victory Saber and were able to defeat their enemies with their &amp;quot;Flash Victory&amp;quot; attack. {{storylink|The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!}}&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Dinoking is a [[Decepticon]] [[Combiner]] from the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Dinoking.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|Dinosaur King is what you wanna be, yeah&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Dinosaur King is your destiny, yeah&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;C&#039;mon an&#039; make your move!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinoking&#039;&#039;&#039; (ダイノキング &#039;&#039;Dainokingu&#039;&#039;) is the combination of all six [[Dinoforce]] warriors. With the bodies and minds of all six members combined into one he is the top Decepticon when it comes to mindless violence. He enhances the natural abilities of all the members of the force and adds a few of his own. His brain power however, is about the same as any individual Dinoforce member, and he is somewhat insubordinate when it comes to taking orders and prefers to go about fighting in his own fashion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking has a fierce rivalry with the [[Autobot]] [[Combiner]], [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]]. He will stop at nothing to destroy his enemy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking is composed of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Goryu (Victory)|Goryu]] (leader, left leg)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Kakuryu]] (upper torso)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gairyu]] (left arm)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Yokuryu]] (right arm)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Rairyu]] (lower torso)&lt;br /&gt;

The [[Dinoforce]] used Dinoking for the first time when they battled the [[Brainmaster]]s. The Dinoforce got their butts kicked, until [[Goryu (Victory)|Goryu]] gave the order to combine into Dinoking. Now they could easily take on the Brainmasters, though [[Holi]], watching them on the main screen at Galaxy Base, was unimpressed with the new gestalt.

The [[Dinoforce]] used Dinoking for the first time when they battled the [[Brainmaster]]s. The Dinoforce got their butts kicked, until [[Goryu (Victory)|Goryu]] gave the order to combine into Dinoking. Now they could easily take on the Brainmasters, though [[Holi]], watching them on the main screen at Galaxy Base, was unimpressed with the new gestalt. His appraisal was proven correct when [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] shortly arrived and slashed Dinoking, causing him to split into his components. {{storylink|Sneak Attack! Dinoking}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an attempt to please [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], [[Leozack]] took the Dinoforce to attack Star Saber at [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]]&#039;s new school. The three Brainmasters arrived and angered Goryu with insults, prompting him to command another Dinoking fusion. The Brainmasters responded by combining into the mighty [[Road Caesar]] and were able to defeat the Dinoforce easily. {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AttackLeozack Dinoking medium shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]&lt;br /&gt;
When the Breastforce came up with a plan to capture a power plant, the Dinoforce was sent to carry it out. The [[Multiforce]] arrived to stop them, but Goryu ordered his team to combine. Dinoking fought them and weakened the Multiforce until [[Machtackle]] suggested they too combine. Leozack blocked their first attempt, then berated Dinoking over the amount of damage they were causing to the plant. After [[Drillhorn (Victory)|Drillhorn]] also got on Dinoking&#039;s case, the Multiforce combined into [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]] and challenged Dinoking to a fight. This proved unwise, as Landcross was almost beaten to death by Dinoking, Leozack and Drillhorn until Star Saber arrived. Dinoking almost defeated Star Saber, but only because the Autobot leader was holding back until the civilians were evacuated. Once that was done, Star Saber trounced Dinoking easily, forcing the Dinoforce to separate and retreat. {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leozack then approached Dinoforce while they were relaxing on an island and ordered them to attack a children&#039;s amusement park. The Autobot Brainmasters and [[Rescue Patrol Team]] arrived to confront them, but Dinoking&#039;s battle with Road Caesar was cut short when Leozack abandoned the combiner. Dinoking retreated too, but the Dinoforce were still amused by Leozack&#039;s toadying to Deathsaurus. {{storylink|Move Out! Rescue Team}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticon Breastforce took control of a mine and needed the Dinoforce to help take its energy. Angered when Star Saber&#039;s ran his V-Star into him, Goryu ordered his team to form Dinoking. However, one blow from Star Saber&#039;s sword again forced them back into their single robot modes. {{storylink|Infiltration... The Uranium Mine}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TankerHijack Dinoking blow to the head.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Why does this always happen to me?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Due the arrival of [[Liokaiser]], the combined form of Breastforce, it would be some time before Dinoking would show himself again. In an attempt to calm Deathsaurus&#039;s growing anger, Drillhorn came up with a plan to steal a tanker full of energy. At the same time, the Dinoforce would plant a bomb in the city to keep the Autobots at bay. After battling Star Saber and the Brainmasters as a group, they merged into Dinoking to finish off the Autobots, but Star Saber kept Dinoking at bay till until [[Braver]] was able to find the bomb. Then [[Blacker]] and [[Laster]] joined the fight, and the Breastforce and Dinoforce retreated, the plan having ended in failure. {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RescueJean Dinoking stock pose.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking was needed again in [[Hellbat (Victory)|Hellbat]]&#039;s latest plan, which involved kidnapping Jan and Holi. [[Kakuryu]] was unsure about the way Hellbat treated them, and Jan and Holi were able to fool Kakuryu and sneak out. Soon after, Star Saber and [[Galaxy Shuttle]] arrived. Dinoking battled Star Saber, but turned and ran when Galaxy Shuttle transformed. {{storylink|Rescue Jan!!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking, Leozack and Hellbat attacked an energy stockpile in the middle of nowhere, but the raid was stopped by a new Autobot: the rebuilt God Ginrai, now called Victory Leo. After Leo easily defeated Leozack, Hellbat and their [[Breast Animal]]s, Dinoking attempted to stop the Autobot by tossing a massive energy container on him, but Leo shot the container and almost vaporised Dinoking. It was not pretty. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}}&lt;br /&gt;

Dinoking reappeared a little bit later when the Decepticons attacked Jan&#039;s school again. This time, however, he was up against Star Saber and Victory Leo&#039;s new, combined form, Victory Saber. Despite Dinoking having a new weapon, the [[Dinoblaster cannon]], he was still defeated by the Autobot and forced back into his individual robot modes yet again. {{storylink|Jan - Defend the Campus!!}}&lt;br /&gt;

After Deathsaurus abandoned the Dinoforce, they continued to attack cities as Dinoking, unaware of the betrayal. They faced Victory Leo and Star Saber again, but when the two Autobots fled, he believed they were fleeing from him—until he turned around and saw the incoming meteor fired by Deathsaurus&#039;s fortress. Dinoking was blasted apart by the explosion, and a badly-damaged Goryu was rushed to Autobot Shuttle base for repairs. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{factions|decepticon}}&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Dinoking is a [[Decepticon]] [[Combiner]] from the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Dinoking.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|Dinosaur King is what you wanna be, yeah&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Dinosaur King is your destiny, yeah&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;C&#039;mon an&#039; make your move!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinoking&#039;&#039;&#039; (ダイノキング &#039;&#039;Dainokingu&#039;&#039;) is the combination of all six [[Dinoforce]] warriors. With the bodies and minds of all six members combined into one he is the top Decepticon when it comes to mindless violence. He enhances the natural abilities of all the members of the force and adds a few of his own. His brain power however, is about the same as any individual Dinoforce member, and he is somewhat insubordinate when it comes to taking orders and prefers to go about fighting in his own fashion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking has a fierce rivalry with the [[Autobot]] [[Combiner]], [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]]. He will stop at nothing to destroy his enemy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking is composed of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Goryu (Victory)|Goryu]] (leader, left leg)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Kakuryu]] (upper torso)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gairyu]] (left arm)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Yokuryu]] (right arm)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Rairyu]] (lower torso)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Doryu]] (right leg)&lt;br /&gt;

With the bodies and minds of all six members combined into one he is the top Decepticon when it comes to mindless violence. He enhances the natural abilities of all the members of the force and adds a few of his own. His brain power however, is about the same as any individual Dinoforce member, and he is somewhat insubordinate when it comes to taking orders and prefers to go about fighting in his own fashion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking has a fierce rivalry with the [[Autobot]] [[Combiner]], [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]]. He will stop at nothing to destroy his enemy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking is composed of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Goryu (Victory)|Goryu]] (leader, left leg)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Kakuryu]] (upper torso)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Gairyu]] (left arm)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Yokuryu]] (right arm)&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Rairyu]] (lower torso)&lt;br /&gt;

The [[Dinoforce]] used Dinoking for the first time when they battled the [[Brainmaster]]s. The Dinoforce got their butts kicked, until [[Goryu (Victory)|Goryu]] gave the order to combine into Dinoking. Now they could easily take on the Brainmasters, though [[Holi]], watching them on the main screen at Galaxy Base, was unimpressed with the new gestalt. His appraisal was proven correct when [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] shortly arrived and slashed Dinoking, causing him to split into his components. {{storylink|Sneak Attack! Dinoking}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an attempt to please [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], [[Leozack]] took the Dinoforce to attack Star Saber at [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]]&#039;s new school. The three Brainmasters arrived and angered Goryu with insults, prompting him to command another Dinoking fusion. The Brainmasters responded by combining into the mighty [[Road Caesar]] and were able to defeat the Dinoforce easily. {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AttackLeozack Dinoking medium shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]&lt;br /&gt;
When the Breastforce came up with a plan to capture a power plant, the Dinoforce was sent to carry it out. The [[Multiforce]] arrived to stop them, but Goryu ordered his team to combine. Dinoking fought them and weakened the Multiforce until [[Machtackle]] suggested they too combine. Leozack blocked their first attempt, then berated Dinoking over the amount of damage they were causing to the plant. After [[Drillhorn (Victory)|Drillhorn]] also got on Dinoking&#039;s case, the Multiforce combined into [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]] and challenged Dinoking to a fight. This proved unwise, as Landcross was almost beaten to death by Dinoking, Leozack and Drillhorn until Star Saber arrived. Dinoking almost defeated Star Saber, but only because the Autobot leader was holding back until the civilians were evacuated. Once that was done, Star Saber trounced Dinoking easily, forcing the Dinoforce to separate and retreat. {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leozack then approached Dinoforce while they were relaxing on an island and ordered them to attack a children&#039;s amusement park. The Autobot Brainmasters and [[Rescue Patrol Team]] arrived to confront them, but Dinoking&#039;s battle with Road Caesar was cut short when Leozack abandoned the combiner. Dinoking retreated too, but the Dinoforce were still amused by Leozack&#039;s toadying to Deathsaurus. {{storylink|Move Out! Rescue Team}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Decepticon Breastforce took control of a mine and needed the Dinoforce to help take its energy. Angered when Star Saber&#039;s ran his V-Star into him, Goryu ordered his team to form Dinoking. However, one blow from Star Saber&#039;s sword again forced them back into their single robot modes. {{storylink|Infiltration... The Uranium Mine}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:TankerHijack Dinoking blow to the head.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Why does this always happen to me?]]&lt;br /&gt;
Due the arrival of [[Liokaiser]], the combined form of Breastforce, it would be some time before Dinoking would show himself again. In an attempt to calm Deathsaurus&#039;s growing anger, Drillhorn came up with a plan to steal a tanker full of energy. At the same time, the Dinoforce would plant a bomb in the city to keep the Autobots at bay. After battling Star Saber and the Brainmasters as a group, they merged into Dinoking to finish off the Autobots, but Star Saber kept Dinoking at bay till until [[Braver]] was able to find the bomb. Then [[Blacker]] and [[Laster]] joined the fight, and the Breastforce and Dinoforce retreated, the plan having ended in failure. {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RescueJean Dinoking stock pose.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking was needed again in [[Hellbat (Victory)|Hellbat]]&#039;s latest plan, which involved kidnapping Jan and Holi. [[Kakuryu]] was unsure about the way Hellbat treated them, and Jan and Holi were able to fool Kakuryu and sneak out. Soon after, Star Saber and [[Galaxy Shuttle]] arrived. Dinoking battled Star Saber, but turned and ran when Galaxy Shuttle transformed. {{storylink|Rescue Jan!!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dinoking, Leozack and Hellbat attacked an energy stockpile in the middle of nowhere, but the raid was stopped by a new Autobot: the rebuilt God Ginrai, now called Victory Leo. After Leo easily defeated Leozack, Hellbat and their [[Breast Animal]]s, Dinoking attempted to stop the Autobot by tossing a massive energy container on him, but Leo shot the container and almost vaporised Dinoking. It was not pretty. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}}&lt;br /&gt;

Dinoking reappeared a little bit later when the Decepticons attacked Jan&#039;s school again. This time, however, he was up against Star Saber and Victory Leo&#039;s new, combined form, Victory Saber. Despite Dinoking having a new weapon, the [[Dinoblaster cannon]], he was still defeated by the Autobot and forced back into his individual robot modes yet again. {{storylink|Jan - Defend the Campus!!}}&lt;br /&gt;

After Deathsaurus abandoned the Dinoforce, they continued to attack cities as Dinoking, unaware of the betrayal. They faced Victory Leo and Star Saber again, but when the two Autobots fled, he believed they were fleeing from him—until he turned around and saw the incoming meteor fired by Deathsaurus&#039;s fortress. Dinoking was blasted apart by the explosion, and a badly-damaged Goryu was rushed to Autobot Shuttle base for repairs. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}}&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Inferno&#039;&#039;&#039; (Autobot Car, [[1985]])&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;10&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Extinguisher Rifle&amp;quot;, 2 fists (left &amp;amp; right), 3 missiles,2 shoulder wings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Inferno transforms into a Japanese Mitsubishi Fuso F-Series FT fire ladder truck. His ladder has three sections to it, allowing it to extend to a really impressive length. Each of his forearms contains a spring-loaded missile launcher, so he can fire his own fists or silver missiles, though the [[Hasbro]] versions have these launchers severely weakened [[for safety reasons]]. He is usually depicted in media as having a missile/laser/nozzle in place of a hand on his right arm. He is also armed with a small black Extinguisher rifle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Inferno&#039;s toy has been [[Generation 1 reissues|reissued]] as part of the &#039;&#039;[[Classics (Europe)|Classic Heroes]]&#039;&#039; line in 1990, the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039; line in 1993, and &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers Collection]]&#039;&#039; and the &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]&#039;&#039; in 2003. See below for individual entries on these releases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This sculpt was [[redeco]]ed and partially [[retool]]ed to make [[Grapple (G1)#Generation 1|Grapple]], the [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]] &#039;&#039;[[Collector&#039;s Edition]]&#039;&#039; [[Hauler#Collector&#039;s Edition|RoadHauler]] and &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: The Headmasters (toyline)|The Headmasters]]&#039;&#039; [[Artfire#The Headmasters|Artfire]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Part of the third assortment of &amp;quot;basic&amp;quot; carded Action Masters, Inferno is a non-transforming action figure with a simplified design, based loosely on his cartoon [[Character model|animation model]]. Inferno came with a [[Hydro-Pack]] that could be attached to his back (with a &amp;quot;hose&amp;quot; that flipped over his shoulder to attach to his handgun, a feature unique among Action Master &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; accessories), or transformed via spring-loaded mechanism into a large cannon, with a barrel that could be further extended by attaching his handgun to the very end of it. He is compatible with all other Action Master weapons and vehicles.&lt;br /&gt;

:The original Inferno toy was first reissued in [[Europe]] in 1990 alongside several other early Transformers, as part of the &amp;quot;[[Classics (Europe)|Classic Heroes]]&amp;quot; range.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:For &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]&#039;&#039;, Inferno&#039;s original toy was re-used with virtually no deco changes, adding only the &amp;quot;Autobot&amp;quot; [[tampograph]]. His forearms were retooled to remove the spring-loaded launcher mechanism (the chromed missiles from the original releases were also dropped), his detachable fists were also re-tooled in order for them to fit snuggly in the connecting hole of the forearms and the wing extensions on his shoulders were also slightly retooled. He came with a large red [[Water-squirting gimmick|water-shooting]] cannon that clipped to his ladder. Said cannon rains pain.&lt;br /&gt;

:In [[2003]], the original Inferno toy was [[Generation 1 reissues|reissued]] as part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers Collection]]&#039;&#039; series. This time he featured a [[tampograph]]ed Autobot symbol and blue instead of yellow eyes. These changes carried over to &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]&#039;&#039; Inferno (see below), &#039;&#039;Commemorative Series&#039;&#039; [[Grapple (G1)|Autobot Grapple]], and &#039;&#039;[[Collector&#039;s Edition]]&#039;&#039; [[Hauler|RoadHauler]].&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Extinguisher Rifle&amp;quot;, 2 fists (left &amp;amp; right), 3 missiles, 2 shoulder wings&lt;br /&gt;
:The same year as the Takara reissue, Hasbro released their own reissue of Inferno as part of the [[Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us]] [[exclusive]] &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]&#039;&#039; line in the United States, Canada, and Australia. Unlike the Takara version, the Hasbro version no longer featured launching fists or missiles [[for safety reasons]]. This reissue comes with an additional Autobot [[insignia]] decal, depicting the more modern long-faced version of the Autobot insignia. According to the [[instructions]], this [[sticker]] is supposed to be placed &#039;&#039;on top of&#039;&#039; the Autobot insignia sticker that is already on Inferno&#039;s chest!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:In 2006, three years after the U.S. release and long after the &#039;&#039;Commemorative Series&#039;&#039; had been discontinued by Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us in America, Inferno and several other figures were released as Toys&amp;quot;R&amp;quot;Us exclusives in the United Kingdom. Unlike previous UK releases of &#039;&#039;Commemorative Series&#039;&#039; figures, the packaging for this batch was no longer [[multilingual packaging|multilingual]], but in English only. Despite this, the packaging was &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; identical to the previous U.S. version; it lacked the &amp;quot;Commemorative Series&amp;quot; labels, the &amp;quot;choking hazard&amp;quot; safety warning labels and all [[trademark]] ™ and ® markings, and moved the &amp;quot;Ages 5+&amp;quot; recommendation to a new position.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Series&#039;&#039;: Generation 2 Series&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Water Blast&amp;quot; projectile&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]] series&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; Inferno is the first all-new tooling for the Voyager Class [[size class|price point]] in the &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; line. Unlike the original toy, &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Inferno transforms into an American pumper/tanker fire truck, rather than the Generation 1&#039;s Japanese Hino ladder engine. In lieu of a ladder, he packs a water cannon with spring-loaded projectile, a call-back to &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; Inferno&#039;s working water cannon. Said cannon cannot be removed from Inferno&#039;s right arm (not without disassembly, anyway).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of Inferno transforms into a fictional six-wheeled variant of the 2002–2007 Pierce Contender series of firetrucks. It appears to be a fusion of two different designs from that period. See: {{w|Pierce Manufacturing#Gallery of Pierce Apparatus|Pierce Manufacturing}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The number &amp;quot;401&amp;quot; [[tampograph]]ed onto him is the area code for the state of Rhode Island, home of [[Hasbro]]&#039;s headquarters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This sculpt was also used to make &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]&#039;&#039; [[Pyro (G1)#Timelines|Autobot Spark]], and was retooled to make [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; (2010)]] [[Grapple (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Solar Storm Grappel]] and &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]&#039;&#039; [[Hot Spot (G1)#Generations|Protectobot Hot Spot]], and Grappel himself was later redecoed into [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; (2014)]] [[Hot Spot (G1)#Transformers (2014)|Protectobot Hot Spot]]. It was then redecoed into &#039;&#039;[[Transformers United|United]]&#039;&#039; [[Artfire#United 2|Artfire]], using tooling from both the original Inferno version and the newer Grappel version of this sculpt.&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]&#039;&#039; Inferno differs from &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Inferno mainly in the red plastic used: whereas &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Inferno has a darker shade of red, &#039;&#039;Henkei&#039;&#039; Inferno is considerably brighter. The dark brown plastic used for several parts on &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Inferno has been changed to gray. The black parts on &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; Inferno are now dark blue and the colorless clear plastic used for his eyes is actually molded in clear blue plastic (rather than being painted over clear blue). Major paint application changes include chroming Inferno&#039;s water cannon, forearm panels, and the backs of his shoulder panels. Aside from the chrome he also has the addition of yellow highlights to his head, clear-red painted sirens, and the removal of the Rhode Island &amp;quot;401&amp;quot; area code.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Speed Stars]]&#039;&#039; Inferno is a new non-transformable mold, appearing as a much more traditional looking fire truck than any of his previous toys but retaining the &amp;quot;401&amp;quot; tampograph that his &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; toy had. His packaging also depicts his &#039;&#039;Universe&#039;&#039; toy&#039;s robot head. At the press of a button, he can deploy his weapons located on top, at the side and the front of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] while pulling a tab hides the weapons again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Included in the package are &#039;&#039;two&#039;&#039; water-burst missiles. However, they can only be stored in and fired from his top-mounted cannon one at a time.&lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the first normal wave of [[Micro-Changer]] [[Kreon]]s, Inferno is a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]]-bagged mini-figure, though a stamped ID number can be found on the back of the bag, top-right corner.  He comes with extra bits to turn him into something that might be described as a fire engine.&lt;br /&gt;

:In 2016, Collection 1 was re-released in a whole new production run for discount and drug stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released &#039;&#039;Kre-O&#039;&#039; sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Inferno&#039;s torso and face [[tampograph]]s have also been reworked to be slightly more detailed, and the formerly-bare legs now have extra detail tampographing on them. The 1x1 top-clip piece is also slightly different from the original, with a much lower-set clip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Inferno represents his cartoon model very well—right down to his disappearing ladder in robot mode—while still maintaining the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; level of detail. He comes with two heads, one based on the animation character model and one based on the original toy (both of which featured in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]]–see &amp;quot;[[Inferno (G1)#Notes|Notes]]&amp;quot; for details) and four swappable faces: default and angry which only fit into the toy head, and default and smiling which fit onto the animation character model head (these can also be fitted into the toy head but leave gaps).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also comes with three chest pieces: one based on his original toy with a detailed, chromed grill and standard Autobot symbol; one with the simplified, non-chromed grill and symbol designs from the cartoon; and one with clear supports attached to it so that Inferno can recreate the scene from &amp;quot;[[Auto Berserk]]&amp;quot; of him carrying Red Alert in his arms. He also comes with the robotic hose Lord [[Chumley]] attacked him with in the episode &amp;quot;[[Prime Target (episode)|Prime Target]]&amp;quot;, as well as two removable, forearm-mounted communicators, which appeared in the same episode. His wrist-barrel/blaster is hidden behind his right hand and comes in both chromed and unchromed form, to match whichever chestpiece you have attached, and he includes a gushing water-spray effect piece that can plug into either barrel, his fire truck mode&#039;s ladder, head mounted nozzle or robotic hose. He also includes a selection of optional stickers, including standard and cartoon-accurate Autobot logos, and four &amp;quot;fire department&amp;quot; stickers, bearing a similar appearance to the symbol seen on MP-14 [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Red Alert]]. In early displays, the sticker sheet which indicates his role as &amp;quot;Cybertron Search &amp;amp; Rescue&amp;quot; had the word &amp;quot;search&amp;quot; misspelled. This error was corrected in the finalized release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:If preordered from retailers supplied by Hasbro Asia, he also comes with a non-transforming die-cast [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP33|Optimus Prime minifigure]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Inferno was retooled into [[Grapple (G1)#Masterpiece|Grapple]], and more subtly retooled into [[Artfire#Masterpiece|Artfire]].&lt;br /&gt;

:The only figure in the third wave of &#039;&#039;[[Power of the Primes (toyline)#Voyager Class|Power of the Primes]]&#039;&#039; Voyager Class figures, Inferno is a retool of &#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; [[Hot Spot (G1)#Combiner Wars|Protectobot Hot Spot]], and he transforms from a firetruck resembling a modified [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Rosenbauer Panther 6x6]] to a robot. Inferno can form the torso of [[Inferno Combiner|an unnamed combiner]] using any selection of &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039;-style Deluxe Class figures as limbs. He also includes Prime Armor that can hold a [[Prime Master]] (and by extension, a [[Titan Master]], Enigma, or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and can turn into feet for said unnamed combiner. Samples shown at the [[Australian Toy Fair]] 2018 and stock renders show his Prime Armor is redecoed from [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)#Power of the Primes|Hun-Gurrr]]&#039;s, while boxed samples shown at that same Toy Fair and the [[Hasbro]] [[TakaraTomy]] [[stock photography]] (shown to the left) has them redecoed from [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|Starscream]]&#039;s. The final product uses Starscream&#039;s, most likely due to his Prime Armor having fold out 5 mm posts, as opposed to Hun-Gurrr&#039;s 5 mm holes. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Inferno includes an Enigma of Combination (dubbed the &#039;&#039;Autobot Enigma&#039;&#039;), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to Inferno via the previously mentioned Prime Armor. The Autobot Enigma in this case is not the same as the one Elita-1 carries, but is a redeco of Hun-Gurrr&#039;s Terrorcon Enigma. Unlike all other &#039;&#039;Power of the Primes&#039;&#039; Voyager Class figures, his Enigma can&#039;t be placed onto the torso in combined mode due to being a minor retool from an older line. On the plus side, this also means he is the only voyager class figure in the line to grant a weapon to his combined form, being a giant sniper rifle formed by plugging his twin launchers end-to-end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Inferno&#039;s box and card artwork depicts him with the chest and shoulders of the [[Onslaught (G1)#Combiner Wars|Onslaught]] version of the mold (with the chest slightly tweaked to remove the detail that mimicked G1 Onslaught&#039;s chest sticker). However, the final toy only uses tooling from Hot Spot, implying a change late in production. Additionally, there is a slight bit of retooling where his legs collapse into torso mode- where all previous versions of the mold have a simple slot for the tab on the robot thigh to slide into, the retooling creates a slot for the tab to peg into, creating a more secure leg for the combined mode.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Phoenix King movie poster.jpg|thumb|Inferno moonlights for easy cash.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*An early [[variant]] of the &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; predecessor of the original &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; Inferno figure had an actual Mitsubishi company logo and the name &amp;quot;FUSO&amp;quot; sculpted on the front end of his cab section, whereas later versions lacked those details just like the later &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; version did.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;diaclone&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vdiagrapinferno.html Diaclone Grapple and Inferno] at Fred&#039;s Workshop.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Inferno&#039;s original toy, slightly modified, was [[Knockoff|knocked off]] and used as the title giant robot in the Korean animated film &#039;&#039;Phoenix King&#039;&#039; (피닉스킹). &#039;&#039;Phoenix King&#039;&#039; was dubbed (horribly) and released in America by Digiview Entertainment as &#039;&#039;[http://www.angelfire.com/droid/futuremasters/Defenders.html Defenders of Space]&#039;&#039;, generally selling for the bargain price of $1.00. Scenes of &amp;quot;Inferno&amp;quot; from this movie were also incorporated into another bargain film distributed by Digiview Entertainment, &#039;&#039;[http://www.angelfire.com/droid/futuremasters/SpaceThunder.html Space Thunder Kids]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Despite its prominence in the &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; cartoon, Inferno&#039;s &amp;quot;head cabinet&amp;quot; design is rarely incorporated into the designs of his toys, even ones created specifically to represent him as opposed to retools. To date, the only figures that feature it are his original and Masterpiece figures.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:G1Skywarp package art.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] has always looked and will always look a lot like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. There are many [[Starscream (G1)/toys|toys of Starscream]] and where there is a Starscream toy, a Skywarp toy soon follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Toys==&lt;br /&gt;
===The Transformers===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:G1toy skywarp.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2.2]][[File:G1catalog84-DecepticonPlanes-Redeco.jpg|right|thumb]] &lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skywarp&#039;&#039;&#039; (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;23&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left &amp;amp; right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, 2 &amp;quot;Machine Guns&amp;quot;, left &amp;amp; right wings, left &amp;amp; right rudders, left &amp;amp; right tail fins, landing gear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Skywarp began life as a &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Jet Robo&amp;quot;, but unlike team-mates [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]], with whom he shares his mold, his distinctive black-and-purple deco did &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; originate in that line. Skywarp transforms into an {{w|F-15 Eagle}} fighter jet, by a process which essentially involves removing and reattaching most of his plane parts. Though it is possible to do so without removing all of them, this rather piecemeal design and the fact that neither mode uses all his parts means it can be quite difficult to find an intact original Skywarp on the secondary market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in robot mode, and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short rockets are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Skywarp&#039;s machine guns. The original &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the earliest releases of Skywarp were basically identical to the &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; mold, some small modifications were soon made to the figure which became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. These included the hollowing out of the inner edges of his wings and the tips of his tail-wings, the lengthening of the pegs on his wings, and the addition of extra clips on the inner sides of his fist-gauntlets, allowing them to grip his arms better but creating a visible slit on them. Like all his 1984 brethren, Skywarp gained a factory-applied [[rubsign]] in 1985, which was added to the left side of his fuselage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For some reason, the stats on Skywarp&#039;s, Starscream&#039;s and Thundercracker&#039;s [[Tech Spec]]s were switched around. Skywarp&#039;s box was given Starscream&#039;s numbers, giving him a high intelligence and rank that stood in contrast to the bio printed next to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Early Hasbro stock photos of Skywarp (right) show him with a plastic purple nosecone. This was changed to a soft, black rubber nosecone when the toy was actually released. However, a [http://tfarchive.com/toys/articles/toypics/mex_skywarp.jpg Mexican variant] retained the purple plastic nosecone. The same stock photos also show him with purple launchers with black triggers and muzzle rings, black feet, black shins, black outer arm panels, purple horizontal stabilizers, and both sets of purple missiles. These stock photos were also later used to promote Takara&#039;s 2001 reissue (see below).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Italian release of Skywarp (as &amp;quot;Corvo&amp;quot;) by [[GiG]] put him in a generic &amp;quot;Distructor Planes&amp;quot; box, featuring names and tech specs for all three planes in the assortment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] and retooled to make [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]].&lt;br /&gt;

Sold in new open-faced packaging with no notable changes from the original figure, Skywarp was an exclusive at the Japanese science fiction convention &amp;quot;Super Festival 21&amp;quot;, available only in a set with Thundercracker and limited to 1000 pieces.

&lt;br /&gt;
:The original Skywarp toy was made available again as part of Hasbro&#039;s line of [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] reissues. Released in the fourth wave of the series, it featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. His machine guns didn&#039;t turn out &#039;&#039;too&#039;&#039; bad; the missiles didn&#039;t fare so well. Rather than correct the erroneous Tech Spec numbers from Skywarp&#039;s original release, this reissue retained them and instead features a slightly re-written bio to remove the contradictions.&lt;br /&gt;

He transforms into a Cybertronic fighter jet, armed with two spring-loaded projectile launchers that can fire orange &amp;quot;energon&amp;quot; bolts. These launchers end up in his arms in robot mode. He has a third robot mode that collapses the legs around the cockpit (oh hush), with flip-out panels revealing an extra pair of thrusters. His [[spark]] crystal, revealed by flipping the purple hatch on his back, has a Decepticon [[insignia]] [[tampograph]]ed on top of it.&lt;br /&gt;

:Skywarp was also used to make &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; [[Aero Drone|Sonic Attack Jet]], &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; [[Storm Jet (RID)|Storm Jet]], and &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; [[Jhiaxus (RID)|Jhiaxus]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]&#039;&#039; product, Skywarp is, of course, a redeco of this line&#039;s Starscream. Like all toys in the series, he is a tiny, simplified version of the original Generation 1 toy, transforming into an F-15 fighter jet, with most of the accessories from the original toy faithfully translated save for his machine guns. As with all previous waves of &#039;&#039;Smallest Transforming Transformers&#039;&#039;, these figures were sold [[blindpacking|blindpacked]], with Skywarp as one of the wave&#039;s two rare [[chase figure]]s&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was redecoed into &#039;&#039;Smallest Transforming&#039;&#039; Thundercracker, and retooled to make Thrust.&lt;br /&gt;

: &#039;&#039;[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp is a redeco of [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] from the same series, a smaller yet more advanced version of the original toy, adding more articulation and reducing the amount of [[Partformer|part-forming]] required. He was available only in a two-pack with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]], which also came with a Decepticon sigil pin and chromed missile pods. This set was the very last product released in the &#039;&#039;Robotmasters&#039;&#039; line and wasn&#039;t even strictly sold in a box from that series; instead, it used an [[e-HOBBY]] Generation 1 reissue box, with a small &#039;&#039;Robotmasters&#039;&#039; sticker in the corner tab noting its origin from the front.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp is a Target-[[exclusive]] redeco and slight retool of &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Starscream]], transforming into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-15 Eagle fighter jet]], though with a canopy like that of an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-14 Tomcat]]. Unlike previous (and future) figures, the shade of purple used for this figure has a more reddish tint to it. He comes with a pair of spring-loaded missile launchers that can be mounted on his biceps or used as hand-held weapons in robot mode and can attach under his wings in vehicle mode. As with most &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; toys, he also features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Skywarp was slightly [[retool]]ed from the earlier Starscream figures. The retool is present in the jet intake area. The slope of his shoulders was decreased from Starscream&#039;s, and a fifth rectangle was added to the vertical area. This retooled version was used for all subsequent releases of the mold, and was also used as a [[Variant#Running change|running change]] on Starscream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was only available as part of a two-pack with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Classics|Ultra Magnus]]. The set&#039;s price was $19.99, despite including both a Voyager Class and Deluxe Class mold in it, which would be approximately $30 worth of toys if they had been sold separately. He was also available in Woolworth stores throughout the United Kingdom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Stock photography]] of &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Skywarp showed [[:File:Classics Skywarp toy.jpg|a more detailed color scheme]] than the actual released figure. Much like &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Ultra Magnus, the changes were most likely due to an overabundance of [[paint operation]]s. This more detailed version was shown at [[BotCon 2006]], and at least one sample found its way to a collector&#039;s hands. The sample also used the original Starscream mold, and not the retooled version mentioned above.&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 &amp;quot;Machine Guns&amp;quot;, 2 AIM missile racks, [[Doctor Arkeville#MP6|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot, Megatron Gun clasp, display stand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp was released in Japan in September of 2007. He is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-3 Starscream]] mold in black, gray, silver, and purple, though the purple and silver are more minimal than usual. Skywarp is able to switch between a minimally retooled stoic face and a new snarly face, retooled from Starscream&#039;s previous smirk. The tiny [[Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figurine (this time molded black) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|Masterpiece MP-1 Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MPSkywarp stickers.jpg|upright=1.1|left|thumb|Sadly, no stair-pusher sticker.]]&lt;br /&gt;
: The sticker sheet includes Skywarp-esque stripes, as well as several whimsical squadron markings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The second pressing of &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Skywarp (released in October 2008) features an assembly error: his left and right pectorals are flipped. This misassembly does not affect transformation at all, and is really only noticeable when compared to prior &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Seekers. The September 2007 pressing of &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Skywarp is assembled correctly. &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Thundercracker is misassembled as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It is a common misconception that the stoic face on Takara&#039;s &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker are the same, when all of them are in fact different sculpts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was later used for the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; version of [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thundercracker]]. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure, [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|Starscream]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:A redeco of the newer &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 Starscream]] mold, Skywarp features some extensive retooling to wind the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Seeker design back into the more Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered Machine Guns attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure features flip-up missile racks built into his pectorals. He comes with the original version of the [[Megatron (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|Megatron gun]] that first came with &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|MP-1 Convoy]]. He also comes with a [[Doctor Arkeville#MP11SW|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figure identical to the previous MP-6 release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp&#039;s deco is heavily based on his cartoon appearance and features the rarely reproduced in toy form entirely purple shoulders and arm cannons. Despite the focus on cartoon accuracy in his deco, he carries over the striping on his forearms, shoulders, and pectorals similar to his original MP-6 Masterpiece release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp was only released in China via Hasbro Asia under the TakaraTomy label; marking the second time an original TakaraTomy Masterpiece toy wasn&#039;t released for the Japanese market ([[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP5G|&#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Megatron Gold Version]] was the first).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:On [[November 30]], [[2016]] MP-11SW Skywarp was released in Japan for the first time as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive. There are notable differences between this release and the original almost two years prior. The shade of purple used on the later release is more warm and less cool in tone. His biceps and knee flaps are now molded in black plastic rather than in purple plastic painted a glossy black. The inner portion of his upper chest is no longer painted silver mold molded in silver plastic. Many of the paint operations are also slightly different in color from the earlier Hasbro Asia release. Hasbro Asia also re-released the figure to coincide with the Japanese release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:When purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Skywarp comes with a collector coin, mounted on a card resembling his wings, complete with his signature wing stripes. The coin was reissued in 2016, without change, alongside the figure.&lt;br /&gt;

As with all 6-inch Titanium Cybertron Heroes, he is constructed mostly of fully painted die-cast metal. He was available only at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] after the Titanium line had already been cancelled, and also Hasbro Toy Shop&#039;s booth at {{w|San Diego Comic-Con}} 2008.&lt;br /&gt;

Henkei!&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]]. Skywarp and his fellow [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] were opened for pre-order on [[May 22]]nd through [[June 20]], and mailed out in September 2008.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soon after release, there were numerous complaints from both Japanese and Western collectors about the poor quality control for both Thundercracker and Skywarp. Skywarp&#039;s most common fault was missing paint for one of his shoulders. Some reported both toys suffering misassembly issues such as having two left or two right thighs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Several minor changes were made to this mold for this release. The holes for his missile launchers in his arms were widened, as were the launcher&#039;s insertion pegs. The wing&#039;s missile launcher insertion points were lengthened and are now curved at the end. The last rectangle on his air intakes was further modified from the [[Transformers: Classics|Classics]] version, this time the bottom most rectangle goes completely across the air intake&#039;s surface rather than just the center. &#039;&#039;Henkei! Henkei!&#039;&#039; Thundercracker and &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; Starscream also saw most of these changes.&lt;br /&gt;

: A [[Walmart]] exclusive redeco of the original &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Starscream mold. Just like Starscream, Skywarp is able to switch between two different faces. This release uses the Starscream&#039;s stoic and smirking alternate faces rather than the Takara &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Skywarp&#039;s newly-tooled stoic and snarling faces. Hasbro designer [[Joe Kyde]] felt the alternate snarling face did not fit Skywarp&#039;s prankster personality, so he went with the Starscream smirk face instead when designing the deco for Hasbro&#039;s release. As a result of gang molding, Skywarp also uses Starscream&#039;s stoic face, the decision being the difference between Skywarp and Starscream&#039;s stoic face was negligible enough not to make a significant difference. The toy also features a more G1 toy styled deco rather than cartoon-based, particularly in the yellow eye color and wing stripes. His purple more closely matches that of the original toy than the purple used on the Takara version, and features a lighter flat black, like the original toy, instead of Takara&#039;s darker glossy black. The Hasbro version replaces some of the dark gray of the Takara version with a dark silver, removes the arm and chest striping, but adds additional red detailing, while removing some as well. Much like Hasbro&#039;s Starscream, he does not feature any of the warning or slogan tampographs, but features tampographed striping, Decepticon symbols, and some additional paint details not present on the Takara version. The nosecone features black paint over purple plastic, allowing for easy customization of &amp;quot;Mexican Masterpiece Skywarp&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
: The tiny Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine (molded in black with no paint applications) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime and a stand (featuring Skywarp&#039;s name) with a support beam for jet or robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;
: Masterpiece Skywarp was also available as an Argos exclusive in the [[United Kingdom]].&lt;br /&gt;

This release of the figure replaced his Decepticon symbol stickers with [[tampograph]]s, and changed his purple stickers to a much bluer shade.

Like the other toys in the line, he features [[die-cast]] metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. This is also currently the only &#039;&#039;Alternity&#039;&#039; mold to feature [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|a fake kibble chest]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In car mode, small wings are &#039;&#039;supposed to&#039;&#039; be able to flip out from under Skywarp&#039;s rear wheels, giving him the appearance of a flying car. Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath &#039;&#039;deforming the rims and chipping the tires&#039;&#039;. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s &#039;&#039;very easily&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: The [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Optimus Prime]] construction set comes with a Skywarp Kreon. He has a helmet, wing back that attaches around his neck, and two blasters that clip onto his arms. These same Kreon accessories were also used for [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Thundercracker]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: A variation of Skywarp exists where initial versions of the figure feature chrome purple toes. Later versions omitted this detail. The [[stock photography]], by the way, shows him with purple-plastic legs rather than black.&lt;br /&gt;

As a Flip Shot, an impact to the front of his vehicle mode causes him to flip up when autotransforming. As a Super Bot, he has more lopsided stats, and is cast in translucent purplish-black plastic.&lt;br /&gt;

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

His color layout is based on that seen in &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; promotional material, with purple wings, although much of the black is replaced with a dark metallic gray.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp comes with two spinning, triple-barreled &amp;quot;assault cannons&amp;quot; which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the [[Neutron assault rifle]] from &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039;. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5 mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Skywarp features numerous 5 mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides. Additionally, his tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the two pegs found on the underside of the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle&#039;s top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;

This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode. &lt;br /&gt;

In an unusual move, Skywarp&#039;s plastic is molded in a light charcoal gray rather than his traditional black. He includes two &amp;quot;HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers,&amp;quot; which can mount on his upper arms, or under the wings in jet mode, and three Battle Master figures, Fracas, Shrute, and Terror-Daxtyl, respectively redecoed from [[Firebolt (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Firedrive]], [[Aimless (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Aimless]], and [[Pteraxadon#Toys|Pteraxadon]], each with their respective Fire Blasts.&lt;br /&gt;

:Legion Class Skywarp is yet another redeco of &#039;&#039;Reveal the Shield&#039;&#039; [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Starscream, which features the retooled wings and hands originally created for [[Transformers: Generations#Asian market exclusives (&amp;quot;GDO&amp;quot;)|&#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; GDO]] Legends Class [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Legends|Thundercracker]]. Aside from that, the figure&#039;s deco is mostly identical to [[#Chronicle|the &#039;&#039;Chronicle EZ Collection&#039;&#039; figure]] listed above, although the purple [[paint operation]]s sport a more blue hue, the purple paint operations on his shins are omitted entirely, and the [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon insignias on the wings are purple with silver outlines rather than completely silver.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;2014legion&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/1040836-classic-legion-skywarp.html Review of 2014 Legion Class Skywarp] at TFW2005, including a comparison with &#039;&#039;EZ Collection&#039;&#039; Skywarp.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp comes in packaging that is based on the packaging design for the concurrently released &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039;-era &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; figures, but replaces the name &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; with &amp;quot;Authentic Transformers&amp;quot;. Since Skywarp and his [[wave]]-mates ship with three figures previously released under what we consider a generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; (2014) toy line]], all of them now in the new packaging style, we consider Skywarp to be part of that line as well. The wave that contains Skywarp has thus far been found at Fred&#039;s, Gordmans, Dollar General and Family Dollar stores in the United States, but was available at general retail in Hong Kong and from Australian Target stores.&lt;br /&gt;

: Hellwarp is a black, purple and grey [[redeco]] of [[Transformers: Generations|&#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039;]] Voyager Class [[Sky-Byte (RID)#Generations|Sky-Byte]] as a both roundabout and direct homage to [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|&#039;&#039;Beast Wars II&#039;&#039;]] [[Starscream (BWII)#Hellscream|Hellscream]]. He transforms into a bio-mechanical great white shark and is armed with a gear-activated spinning claw weapon that can fire a missile. His [[beast mode]] articulation consists of an opening mouth and a tail that moves up and down. There is a hexagonal peghole underneath him which is compatible with some collector display stands. As with the rest of the &#039;&#039;Cloud&#039;&#039; Decepticons, Hellwarp is an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive, and he comes with the &amp;quot;[[TFC-D04]]&amp;quot; comic.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;keshigomu&#039;&#039; figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Skywarp was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. He is, surprisingly enough, &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; identical to either Starscream or Thundercracker: the stance of his legs and the position of his Decepticon symbols differ, but he is, of course, most prominently distinguished by his raised arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, in a peach coloration randomly packed in several box sets and with other products produced by Takara subsidiary [[Seven]], and in a wide variety of colours in &amp;quot;gachapon&amp;quot; capsule machines.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: The Skywarp figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple &amp;quot;checklist&amp;quot; number (33, in Skywarp&#039;s case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Super Collection Figure]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp is a non-transforming three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine, [[redeco]]ed from &#039;&#039;SCF&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]]. Limited to 200 pieces, he was only available as the second place prize in a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] contest held in conjunction with the first edition of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Generations]]&#039;&#039; (with the &amp;quot;[[Starscream (G1)/toys#SecretStarscream|Secret Starscream]]&amp;quot; toy as the first place prize). Due to the bankruptcy of the &#039;&#039;Transformers: Generations&#039;&#039; publisher, [[Keibunsha]], it is unknown whether the Japanese version of Skywarp was ever actually sent out or not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make &#039;&#039;Super Collection Figure&#039;&#039; [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] and &#039;&#039;[[Heroes of Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; (see below) Starscream, Thundercracker, [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] and the [[Air Warrior]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

: When the &#039;&#039;Super Collection Figure&#039;&#039; line was brought to the US as &#039;&#039;[[Heroes of Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, Skywarp was widely released as part of the first wave. As was the standard for the line, Skywarp was made from translucent red plastic that was mostly painted over, giving him [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes. In addition, he is distinguished from his &#039;&#039;Super Collection Figure&#039;&#039; counterpart by grey knee-vents and black foot-panels, versus the respetive purple and grey applications on the original (though several samples of the figure were missing the foot-panel paint, including the one shown at the TFU link below).&lt;br /&gt;

: The original Skywarp figurine was re-released again in this unnamed six-pack of figures available exclusively at [[OTFCC 2003]]. He came packaged with &#039;&#039;Heroes of Cybertron&#039;&#039; versions of [[Starscream (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Thundercracker]], and three [[Air Warrior#Heroes of Cybertron|Air Warriors]].&lt;br /&gt;

The figure was delayed and never saw a full release due to [[3H Productions|3H Enterprises]] losing the license to run the official Transformers fan club. At least a couple of sample versions were produced, of those most (but not all) had the open-palm hands and the hand wielding Megatron in gun mode painted blue rather than the correct purple.&lt;br /&gt;

Skywarp would&#039;ve been able to detach from his base and fly on a string, enabling him to get better shots at opposing pieces. Any other details about his role in the game are unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

:Skywarp was one of the chase figures in the second wave of 3-inch tall [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] vinyl figurines produced by [[The Loyal Subjects]]. Featuring eight ball-jointed points of articulation. Unlike the other [[1984]] style Seekers, a Skywarp is not a redeco of the Starscream and Thundercracker figurine from the first wave (who were later redecoed to create the [[Rainmaker]] trio and [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]), but an all new mold with different construction and parts than his predecessors. He is slightly larger than the other &#039;84 Seekers and features more moving parts. He does share some parts with the simultaneously released [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]], and fellow chase figure [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]]. For every 96 figures from wave 2 of The Loyal Subjects, there is 1 Skywarp.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Skywarpatron.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
*In a possible fit of madness, a triple changer was proposed that would switch between Skywarp (possibly mistaken for Starscream), [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], and Skywarp&#039;s jet mode.&lt;br /&gt;
*In modern times, Skywarp is often the last of the three primary Decepticon Seekers to see the use of a toyline&#039;s respective Seeker mold. This often leads to his figures becoming prominent shelfwarmers at the tail end of a line&#039;s run.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:G1Skywarp package art.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] has always looked and will always look a lot like [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. There are many [[Starscream (G1)/toys|toys of Starscream]] and where there is a Starscream toy, a Skywarp toy soon follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Toys==&lt;br /&gt;
===The Transformers===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:G1toy skywarp.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2.2]][[File:G1catalog84-DecepticonPlanes-Redeco.jpg|right|thumb]] &lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skywarp&#039;&#039;&#039; (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;23&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left &amp;amp; right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, 2 &amp;quot;Machine Guns&amp;quot;, left &amp;amp; right wings, left &amp;amp; right rudders, left &amp;amp; right tail fins, landing gear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Skywarp began life as a &#039;&#039;[[Diaclone]]&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Jet Robo&amp;quot;, but unlike team-mates [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]], with whom he shares his mold, his distinctive black-and-purple deco did &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; originate in that line. Skywarp transforms into an {{w|F-15 Eagle}} fighter jet, by a process which essentially involves removing and reattaching most of his plane parts. Though it is possible to do so without removing all of them, this rather piecemeal design and the fact that neither mode uses all his parts means it can be quite difficult to find an intact original Skywarp on the secondary market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in robot mode, and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short rockets are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Skywarp&#039;s machine guns. The original &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:While the earliest releases of Skywarp were basically identical to the &#039;&#039;Diaclone&#039;&#039; mold, some small modifications were soon made to the figure which became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. These included the hollowing out of the inner edges of his wings and the tips of his tail-wings, the lengthening of the pegs on his wings, and the addition of extra clips on the inner sides of his fist-gauntlets, allowing them to grip his arms better but creating a visible slit on them. Like all his 1984 brethren, Skywarp gained a factory-applied [[rubsign]] in 1985, which was added to the left side of his fuselage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:For some reason, the stats on Skywarp&#039;s, Starscream&#039;s and Thundercracker&#039;s [[Tech Spec]]s were switched around. Skywarp&#039;s box was given Starscream&#039;s numbers, giving him a high intelligence and rank that stood in contrast to the bio printed next to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Early Hasbro stock photos of Skywarp (right) show him with a plastic purple nosecone. This was changed to a soft, black rubber nosecone when the toy was actually released. However, a [http://tfarchive.com/toys/articles/toypics/mex_skywarp.jpg Mexican variant] retained the purple plastic nosecone. The same stock photos also show him with purple launchers with black triggers and muzzle rings, black feet, black shins, black outer arm panels, purple horizontal stabilizers, and both sets of purple missiles. These stock photos were also later used to promote Takara&#039;s 2001 reissue (see below).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The Italian release of Skywarp (as &amp;quot;Corvo&amp;quot;) by [[GiG]] put him in a generic &amp;quot;Distructor Planes&amp;quot; box, featuring names and tech specs for all three planes in the assortment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]] and retooled to make [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skywarp&#039;&#039;&#039; (Basic, 1997)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 rifle halves&lt;br /&gt;
: Sharing a mold once again with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Thundercracker]], Skywarp transforms into a white {{w|Rafale|Dassault Rafale}} fighter jet with spring-loaded one-step transformation from jet to robot. The two halves of his rifle store in his lower legs. Like all &#039;&#039;[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]&#039;&#039; toys, Skywarp was an [[exclusive]] to Kay-Bee stores and related stores like Toy Liquidators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the [[Skywarp drone]]s. This mold is also used by &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars II (toyline)|Beast Wars II]]&#039;&#039; [[Dirge (BWII)#Toys|Dirge]], [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; (2001)]] [[Skyfire (RID)|Skyfire]], &#039;&#039;[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]&#039;&#039; [[Wingstun#Toys|Wingstun]] and &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]&#039;&#039; [[Waspinator (BW)/toys#Timelines 2|Waspinator]]. &lt;br /&gt;

===Collector&#039;s Edition===&lt;br /&gt;
{{anchor|collectorsedition}}[[File:G1toy reissue skywarp.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skywarp&#039;&#039;&#039; (reissue, 2001)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Set C&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left &amp;amp; right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, 2 &amp;quot;Machine Guns&amp;quot;, left &amp;amp; right wings, left &amp;amp; right rudders, left &amp;amp; right tail fins, landing gear&lt;br /&gt;
:The original Skywarp toy was reissued for the first time in 2001 as part of Takara&#039;s small &amp;quot;[[Collector&#039;s Edition]]&amp;quot; series, which made several Generation 1 toys available as convention [[exclusive]]s. Sold in new open-faced packaging with no notable changes from the original figure, Skywarp was an exclusive at the Japanese science fiction convention &amp;quot;Super Festival 21&amp;quot;, available only in a set with Thundercracker and limited to 1000 pieces. The pair are often mistakenly identified as [[e-HOBBY]] exclusives.&lt;br /&gt;

===Commemorative Series===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:G1-toy SkywarpCommSeries.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|The Commemorative Series retooled Skywarp. Robot mode... that&#039;s okay. Jet? Not so much.]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skywarp&#039;&#039;&#039; (reissue, 2003)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left &amp;amp; right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, 2 &amp;quot;Machine Guns&amp;quot;, left &amp;amp; right wings, left &amp;amp; right rudders, left &amp;amp; right tail fins, landing gear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The original Skywarp toy was made available again as part of Hasbro&#039;s line of [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] reissues. Released in the fourth wave of the series, it featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. His machine guns didn&#039;t turn out &#039;&#039;too&#039;&#039; bad; the missiles didn&#039;t fare so well. Rather than correct the erroneous Tech Spec numbers from Skywarp&#039;s original release, this reissue retained them and instead features a slightly re-written bio to remove the contradictions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp is a redeco of &#039;&#039;[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]&#039;&#039; [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]] in his Generation 1 colors. He transforms into a Cybertronic fighter jet, armed with two spring-loaded projectile launchers that can fire orange &amp;quot;energon&amp;quot; bolts. These launchers end up in his arms in robot mode. He has a third robot mode that collapses the legs around the cockpit (oh hush), with flip-out panels revealing an extra pair of thrusters. His [[spark]] crystal, revealed by flipping the purple hatch on his back, has a Decepticon [[insignia]] [[tampograph]]ed on top of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Although most previous versions of the mold have the wingtips swept forward in vehicle mode, Skywarp was packaged and depicted in his instructions with the wingtips swept back. His fictional appearances, however, use the conventional arrangement shown here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp was also used to make &#039;&#039;Beast Machines&#039;&#039; [[Aero Drone|Sonic Attack Jet]], &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]&#039;&#039; [[Storm Jet (RID)|Storm Jet]], and &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; [[Jhiaxus (RID)|Jhiaxus]].&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skywarp&#039;&#039;&#039; (2003)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Part of the first wave of &#039;&#039;[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]&#039;&#039; product, Skywarp is, of course, a redeco of this line&#039;s Starscream. Like all toys in the series, he is a tiny, simplified version of the original Generation 1 toy, transforming into an F-15 fighter jet, with most of the accessories from the original toy faithfully translated save for his machine guns. As with all previous waves of &#039;&#039;Smallest Transforming Transformers&#039;&#039;, these figures were sold [[blindpacking|blindpacked]], with Skywarp as one of the wave&#039;s two rare [[chase figure]]s&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was redecoed into &#039;&#039;Smallest Transforming&#039;&#039; Thundercracker, and retooled to make Thrust.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp is a redeco of [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] from the same series, a smaller yet more advanced version of the original toy, adding more articulation and reducing the amount of [[Partformer|part-forming]] required. He was available only in a two-pack with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]], which also came with a Decepticon sigil pin and chromed missile pods. This set was the very last product released in the &#039;&#039;Robotmasters&#039;&#039; line and wasn&#039;t even strictly sold in a box from that series; instead, it used an [[e-HOBBY]] Generation 1 reissue box, with a small &#039;&#039;Robotmasters&#039;&#039; sticker in the corner tab noting its origin from the front.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Ultra Magnus vs Skywarp: Battle For Autobot City&#039;&#039;&#039; (Multi-pack, 2006)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; Left &amp;amp; right missile launchers, 2 missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp is a Target-[[exclusive]] redeco and slight retool of &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Starscream]], transforming into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-15 Eagle fighter jet]], though with a canopy like that of an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-14 Tomcat]]. Unlike previous (and future) figures, the shade of purple used for this figure has a more reddish tint to it. He comes with a pair of spring-loaded missile launchers that can be mounted on his biceps or used as hand-held weapons in robot mode and can attach under his wings in vehicle mode. As with most &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; toys, he also features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Skywarp was slightly [[retool]]ed from the earlier Starscream figures. The retool is present in the jet intake area. The slope of his shoulders was decreased from Starscream&#039;s, and a fifth rectangle was added to the vertical area. This retooled version was used for all subsequent releases of the mold, and was also used as a [[Variant#Running change|running change]] on Starscream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: He was only available as part of a two-pack with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Classics|Ultra Magnus]]. The set&#039;s price was $19.99, despite including both a Voyager Class and Deluxe Class mold in it, which would be approximately $30 worth of toys if they had been sold separately. He was also available in Woolworth stores throughout the United Kingdom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Stock photography]] of &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Skywarp showed [[:File:Classics Skywarp toy.jpg|a more detailed color scheme]] than the actual released figure. Much like &#039;&#039;Classics&#039;&#039; Ultra Magnus, the changes were most likely due to an overabundance of [[paint operation]]s. This more detailed version was shown at [[BotCon 2006]], and at least one sample found its way to a collector&#039;s hands. The sample also used the original Starscream mold, and not the retooled version mentioned above.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Skywarp&#039;&#039;&#039; (September 2007)&lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;MP-6&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
**&#039;&#039;Accessories:&#039;&#039; 2 &amp;quot;Machine Guns&amp;quot;, 2 AIM missile racks, [[Doctor Arkeville#MP6|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot, Megatron Gun clasp, display stand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]&#039;&#039; Skywarp was released in Japan in September of 2007. He is a redeco of the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-3 Starscream]] mold in black, gray, silver, and purple, though the purple and silver are more minimal than usual. Skywarp is able to switch between a minimally retooled stoic face and a new snarly face, retooled from Starscream&#039;s previous smirk. The tiny [[Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figurine (this time molded black) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|Masterpiece MP-1 Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MPSkywarp stickers.jpg|upright=1.1|left|thumb|Sadly, no stair-pusher sticker.]]&lt;br /&gt;
: The sticker sheet includes Skywarp-esque stripes, as well as several whimsical squadron markings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The second pressing of &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Skywarp (released in October 2008) features an assembly error: his left and right pectorals are flipped. This misassembly does not affect transformation at all, and is really only noticeable when compared to prior &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Seekers. The September 2007 pressing of &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Skywarp is assembled correctly. &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Thundercracker is misassembled as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It is a common misconception that the stoic face on Takara&#039;s &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker are the same, when all of them are in fact different sculpts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This mold was later used for the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; version of [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thundercracker]]. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; figure, [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|Starscream]].&lt;br /&gt;

:A redeco of the newer &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 Starscream]] mold, Skywarp features some extensive retooling to wind the &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Seeker design back into the more Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered Machine Guns attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The figure features flip-up missile racks built into his pectorals. He comes with the original version of the [[Megatron (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|Megatron gun]] that first came with &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|MP-1 Convoy]]. He also comes with a [[Doctor Arkeville#MP11SW|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figure identical to the previous MP-6 release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp&#039;s deco is heavily based on his cartoon appearance and features the rarely reproduced in toy form entirely purple shoulders and arm cannons. Despite the focus on cartoon accuracy in his deco, he carries over the striping on his forearms, shoulders, and pectorals similar to his original MP-6 Masterpiece release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp was only released in China via Hasbro Asia under the TakaraTomy label; marking the second time an original TakaraTomy Masterpiece toy wasn&#039;t released for the Japanese market ([[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP5G|&#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Megatron Gold Version]] was the first).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:On [[November 30]], [[2016]] MP-11SW Skywarp was released in Japan for the first time as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive. There are notable differences between this release and the original almost two years prior. The shade of purple used on the later release is more warm and less cool in tone. His biceps and knee flaps are now molded in black plastic rather than in purple plastic painted a glossy black. The inner portion of his upper chest is no longer painted silver mold molded in silver plastic. Many of the paint operations are also slightly different in color from the earlier Hasbro Asia release. Hasbro Asia also re-released the figure to coincide with the Japanese release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:When purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Skywarp comes with a collector coin, mounted on a card resembling his wings, complete with his signature wing stripes. The coin was reissued in 2016, without change, alongside the figure.&lt;br /&gt;

Henkei!&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]]. Skywarp and his fellow [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] were opened for pre-order on [[May 22]]nd through [[June 20]], and mailed out in September 2008.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Soon after release, there were numerous complaints from both Japanese and Western collectors about the poor quality control for both Thundercracker and Skywarp. Skywarp&#039;s most common fault was missing paint for one of his shoulders. Some reported both toys suffering misassembly issues such as having two left or two right thighs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Several minor changes were made to this mold for this release. The holes for his missile launchers in his arms were widened, as were the launcher&#039;s insertion pegs. The wing&#039;s missile launcher insertion points were lengthened and are now curved at the end. The last rectangle on his air intakes was further modified from the [[Transformers: Classics|Classics]] version, this time the bottom most rectangle goes completely across the air intake&#039;s surface rather than just the center. &#039;&#039;Henkei! Henkei!&#039;&#039; Thundercracker and &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]&#039;&#039; Starscream also saw most of these changes.&lt;br /&gt;

: A [[Walmart]] exclusive redeco of the original &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Starscream mold. Just like Starscream, Skywarp is able to switch between two different faces. This release uses the Starscream&#039;s stoic and smirking alternate faces rather than the Takara &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Skywarp&#039;s newly-tooled stoic and snarling faces. Hasbro designer [[Joe Kyde]] felt the alternate snarling face did not fit Skywarp&#039;s prankster personality, so he went with the Starscream smirk face instead when designing the deco for Hasbro&#039;s release. As a result of gang molding, Skywarp also uses Starscream&#039;s stoic face, the decision being the difference between Skywarp and Starscream&#039;s stoic face was negligible enough not to make a significant difference. The toy also features a more G1 toy styled deco rather than cartoon-based, particularly in the yellow eye color and wing stripes. His purple more closely matches that of the original toy than the purple used on the Takara version, and features a lighter flat black, like the original toy, instead of Takara&#039;s darker glossy black. The Hasbro version replaces some of the dark gray of the Takara version with a dark silver, removes the arm and chest striping, but adds additional red detailing, while removing some as well. Much like Hasbro&#039;s Starscream, he does not feature any of the warning or slogan tampographs, but features tampographed striping, Decepticon symbols, and some additional paint details not present on the Takara version. The nosecone features black paint over purple plastic, allowing for easy customization of &amp;quot;Mexican Masterpiece Skywarp&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
: The tiny Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine (molded in black with no paint applications) is also included, as well as a clasp for jet mode Skywarp to hold the gun mode Megatron that came with &#039;&#039;Masterpiece&#039;&#039; Convoy/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime and a stand (featuring Skywarp&#039;s name) with a support beam for jet or robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;

This release of the figure replaced his Decepticon symbol stickers with [[tampograph]]s, and changed his purple stickers to a much bluer shade.

Like the other toys in the line, he features [[die-cast]] metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. This is also currently the only &#039;&#039;Alternity&#039;&#039; mold to feature [[Kibble#&amp;quot;Faux-parts&amp;quot;|a fake kibble chest]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In car mode, small wings are &#039;&#039;supposed to&#039;&#039; be able to flip out from under Skywarp&#039;s rear wheels, giving him the appearance of a flying car. Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath &#039;&#039;deforming the rims and chipping the tires&#039;&#039;. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s &#039;&#039;very easily&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp comes with two spinning, triple-barreled &amp;quot;assault cannons&amp;quot; which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the [[Neutron assault rifle]] from &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039;. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5 mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Skywarp features numerous 5 mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides. Additionally, his tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the two pegs found on the underside of the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle&#039;s top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.&lt;br /&gt;

:Skywarp&#039;s tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle&#039;s top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp is minimally mis-transformed in-package: his jet mode nosecone is extended, rather than folded in as it should be in robot mode. He comes packaged with a copy of [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]&#039;s [[Winners &amp;amp; Losers: Dark Cybertron Chapter 3|&#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; #23]].&lt;br /&gt;

:Despite using a mold matching [[Skywarp (WFC)|Skywarp]]&#039;s appearance in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, this toy &#039;&#039;technically&#039;&#039; represents G1 Skywarp, thanks to his [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] pack-in fiction. Consequently, the toy is listed in the former&#039;s page as a [[repurposing]]. This mold was also used for TakaraTomy&#039;s &#039;&#039;Fall of Cybertron&#039;&#039; Skywarp, itself repurposed as &#039;&#039;Cloud&#039;&#039; Skywarp (see above), and as &#039;&#039;Generations Thrilling 30&#039;&#039; [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Thundercracker]].&lt;br /&gt;

Based on a [[Guido Guidi]] [[Seeker (body-type)|seeker]] concept for the [[The Transformers (IDW)|first IDW ongoing series]], he transforms from a hybrid F-15/F-22 style jet. He features a fold out front landing gear, [[5 mm post|5 mm-compatible]] hands, and back/wings, and has [[C joint|3 mm-compatible]] upper arm ports. He comes with two removable cannons that have [[5 mm post#Multiple posts and double posting|both 5 mm and 3 mm pegs]]. As with Thundercracker his current Stock Photo is mistransformed: His wing assembly has not been folded up to the body. &lt;br /&gt;

:Skywarp is a redeco of &#039;&#039;Generations Combiner Wars&#039;&#039; Leader [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Thundercracker]]. He transforms from a robot into a jet fighter, and includes a missile launcher and four limb-mounted weapons, plus two guns based on the traditional Seeker arm rifles. He also features a faux cockpit. Skywarp does not include the original Jetfire mold&#039;s &amp;quot;Turbo Thruster&amp;quot; booster pack accessory, but is still compatible with it. &lt;br /&gt;

:This &#039;&#039;[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]&#039;&#039; four-pack version of Skywarp is a retool of [[Starscream (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Starscream]] from the same line with a new slightly sneering face, transforming from a heavily Generation 1-inspired robot to a Cybertronian &#039;tetrajet&#039; based on the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]&#039; appearance in &amp;quot;[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]&amp;quot; and back; although the jet mode has the robot legs sticking out from the undercarriage. In an unusual move, Skywarp&#039;s plastic is molded in a light charcoal gray rather than his traditional black. He includes two &amp;quot;HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers,&amp;quot; which can mount on his upper arms, or under the wings in jet mode, and three Battle Master figures, Fracas, Shrute, and Terror-Daxtyl, respectively redecoed from [[Firebolt (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Firedrive]], [[Aimless (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Aimless]], and [[Pteraxadon#Toys|Pteraxadon]], each with their respective Fire Blasts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This set was made available at general retail in Taiwan without prior announcement from Hasbro, and was an [[Amazon_(website)|Amazon]] exclusive for North America, which also label the set as &amp;quot;Final Strike Figure Series: Part 2.&amp;quot; In an uncharacteristic irony, Skywarp&#039;s face features a sneer, but with the help of [[customizing]], you can swap his head for Thundercracker or Red Wing&#039;s to patch things up a bit.&lt;br /&gt;

: Part of the first wave of &amp;quot;Battle Upgrade&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;[[Hero Mashers]]&#039;&#039; toys, Megatron is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other &#039;&#039;Hero Mashers&#039;&#039; figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], &#039;&#039;[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]&#039;&#039;, meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Each &amp;quot;Battle Upgrade&amp;quot; figure comes with an extra part from a different character otherwise not appearing in the line: Megatron comes with Skywarp&#039;s right forearm, which is a [[redeco]] of &#039;&#039;Hero Mashers&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Starscream]]&#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;

:Skywarp comes in packaging that is based on the packaging design for the concurrently released &#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039;-era &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; figures, but replaces the name &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; with &amp;quot;Authentic Transformers&amp;quot;. Since Skywarp and his [[wave]]-mates ship with three figures previously released under what we consider a generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|&#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; (2014) toy line]], all of them now in the new packaging style, we consider Skywarp to be part of that line as well.

He transforms into a bio-mechanical great white shark and is armed with a gear-activated spinning claw weapon that can fire a missile. His [[beast mode]] articulation consists of an opening mouth and a tail that moves up and down. There is a hexagonal peghole underneath him which is compatible with some collector display stands. As with the rest of the &#039;&#039;Cloud&#039;&#039; Decepticons, Hellwarp is an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive, and he comes with the &amp;quot;[[TFC-D04]]&amp;quot; comic.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5&amp;quot; &#039;&#039;keshigomu&#039;&#039; figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Skywarp was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. He is, surprisingly enough, &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; identical to either Starscream or Thundercracker: the stance of his legs and the position of his Decepticon symbols differ, but he is, of course, most prominently distinguished by his raised arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Skywarp was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, in a peach coloration randomly packed in several box sets and with other products produced by Takara subsidiary [[Seven]], and in a wide variety of colours in &amp;quot;gachapon&amp;quot; capsule machines.&lt;br /&gt;

: The Skywarp figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple &amp;quot;checklist&amp;quot; number (33, in Skywarp&#039;s case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.&lt;br /&gt;

Limited to 200 pieces, he was only available as the second place prize in a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] contest held in conjunction with the first edition of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Generations]]&#039;&#039; (with the &amp;quot;[[Starscream (G1)/toys#SecretStarscream|Secret Starscream]]&amp;quot; toy as the first place prize).

As was the standard for the line, Skywarp was made from translucent red plastic that was mostly painted over, giving him [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes. In addition, he is distinguished from his &#039;&#039;Super Collection Figure&#039;&#039; counterpart by grey knee-vents and black foot-panels, versus the respetive purple and grey applications on the original (though several samples of the figure were missing the foot-panel paint, including the one shown at the TFU link below).&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Air Warrior 6-pack&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039; (2003)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original Skywarp figurine was re-released again in this unnamed six-pack of figures available exclusively at [[OTFCC 2003]]. He came packaged with &#039;&#039;Heroes of Cybertron&#039;&#039; versions of [[Starscream (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Thundercracker]], and three [[Air Warrior#Heroes of Cybertron|Air Warriors]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: While the three named Seekers in the set were originally intended to have a sparkly paint job to differentiate them from the normal retail versions, that ended up not happening and they ended up basically exactly the same.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:OTFCCSkywarp.jpg|thumb|Doesn&#039;t so much teleport as not exist in the first place.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: A redeco of &#039;&#039;Mega Super Figure Collection&#039;&#039; G1 Starscream (minus the extra coronation accessories), Skywarp was to be among the first of the fan club exclusives offered by [[BotCon#BotCon history|OTFCC]] as well as the first in their &#039;&#039;Legends of Cybertron&#039;&#039; line. The figure was delayed and never saw a full release due to [[3H Productions|3H Enterprises]] losing the license to run the official Transformers fan club. At least a couple of sample versions were produced, of those most (but not all) had the open-palm hands and the hand wielding Megatron in gun mode painted blue rather than the correct purple.&lt;br /&gt;

:A &#039;&#039;SmallBluePlanet&#039;&#039;-exclusive redeco of the Starscream statue, Skywarp is a six inch tall polystone statue with articulated head and arms. He can stand normally or use a stand to take on a &amp;quot;hovering&amp;quot; pose. Skywarp was limited to 300 pieces, and sculpted by [[3L Creation Group]] from a design by [[George Tremarco]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: Skywarp was among the planned &#039;&#039;Transformers [[Attacktix]]&#039;&#039; game pieces that were showed at some conventions, but went unreleased as the line was canceled. He was to be a [[retool]] of sorts of the similarly unreleased &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]&#039;&#039; [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], using the same weapon and base but a brand new jet mold. Skywarp would&#039;ve been able to detach from his base and fly on a string, enabling him to get better shots at opposing pieces. Any other details about his role in the game are unknown.&lt;br /&gt;

He&#039;s a black and purple redeco of Starscream, yes. His left hand&#039;s for pushing you down stairs, his right fist&#039;s for pumping the air in victory. Sweet, sweet stair-based victory.&lt;br /&gt;

In addition to his standard abilities such as teleportation, one of Skywarp&#039;s weapons is the obscure [[bouncer bomb]], which he used only once in the cartoon episode &amp;quot;[[The Immobilizer]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

:Skywarp was one of the chase figures in the second wave of 3-inch tall [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] vinyl figurines produced by [[The Loyal Subjects]]. Featuring eight ball-jointed points of articulation. Unlike the other [[1984]] style Seekers, a Skywarp is not a redeco of the Starscream and Thundercracker figurine from the first wave (who were later redecoed to create the [[Rainmaker]] trio and [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]), but an all new mold with different construction and parts than his predecessors. He is slightly larger than the other &#039;84 Seekers and features more moving parts. He does share some parts with the simultaneously released [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]], and fellow chase figure [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]]. For every 96 figures from wave 2 of The Loyal Subjects, there is 1 Skywarp.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:A super deformed Skywarp model kit produced by [[Kotobukiya]] as part of their franchise-spanning &#039;&#039;[[D-Style]]&#039;&#039; line. Like [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#D-Style|Megatron]] he comes with three different faces and in line with the rest of the line, comes with a mini alt mode figure, in this case an F15 jet. He also contains a replaceable open hand. His chest contains flip-up panels in his chest that reveal missile racks based on the weapons seen in the Generation 1 episode &amp;quot;Fire on the Mountain&amp;quot;. The null rays can be removed and wielded as guns, and he can also hold Megatron&#039;s gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:In order to get the figure looking like the promotional photos, required paint applications include coloring the screaming mouth, chest fans and panel lines, missile rack surrounds, null ray panel lines, and knee vents all in black. Eyes and cockpit come in translucent colored plastic and can also be painted to improve their look. Finally, the mini F15 jet comes as a single black piece and is missing all coloring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He comes in a two pack along with [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#D-Style|Thundercracker]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Skywarpatron.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
*In a possible fit of madness, a triple changer was proposed that would switch between Skywarp (possibly mistaken for Starscream), [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], and Skywarp&#039;s jet mode.&lt;br /&gt;
*In modern times, Skywarp is often the last of the three primary Decepticon Seekers to see the use of a toyline&#039;s respective Seeker mold. This often leads to his figures becoming prominent shelfwarmers at the tail end of a line&#039;s run.&lt;br /&gt;
