MinerEdgar: /* Merchandise */ added entry for 2015 Transformers gum release

{{factions|decepticon}}
:''King Poseidon is a [[Decepticon]] [[combiner]] from the [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:KingPoseidon1.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|King of the Deep Blue Sea]]
'''King Poseidon''' (キングポセイドン ''Kingu Poseidon'') is the combined form of the [[Seacon (Masterforce)|Seacons]], created when the Seacon leader [[Turtler]] merges with one of each of the numerous Seacon drones under his command. As Turtler is the only sentient member of the team, it is his consciousness alone which controls the giant combiner, becoming even more cold and cruel as he tears through the battlefield with his massively increased mobility and destructive power.

King Poseidon is composed of:

*[[Turtler]] (torso)
*[[Gulf]] (right leg)
*[[Kraken]] (left arm)
*[[Lobclaw]] (right arm)
*[[Overbite (Masterforce)|Overbite]] (firearm)
*[[Tentakil (Masterforce)|Tentakil]] (left leg)

After numerous failures on the part of the individual Seacons and the other Decepticons serving under them, Decepticon leaders [[Giga]] and [[Mega]] decided it was time for King Poseidon to enter the fray. {{storylink|Eliminate the Godmaster Ginrai}} The Seacon combiner introduced himself to the shocked Autobots during a battle on an island off the coast of America, and immediately attacked [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]], who found himself unable to match King Poseidon's raw power. As King Poseidon ground his foot down on top of Ginrai, the trailer Ginrai had recently added to his [[Transtector]] suddenly burst into life, flying through the air and knocking King Poseidon aside. Ginrai and the trailer then fused together to create "Super Ginrai", who seized King Poseidon and body-slammed him so hard that the Seacons forming his limbs exploded. Only Turtler survived, and escaped into the ocean. {{storylink|Heroism!! The Birth of Super Ginrai}}

[[File:Kingposeidon ginraiflip.jpg|thumb|"And lo did Ginrai toss King Poseidon out on his aft, as was before, as e'er shall be."]]
King Poseidon next battled Super Ginrai in [[Canada]], where he was again quickly overcome by the Autobot's [[Chōkon Power]] and had his right arm blown off. Sent tumbling backwards, the combiner lost his grip on his sword, which wound up impaling his own leg and destroying it. With two limbs gone, the Seacons were forced to disengage and retreat. {{storylink|Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter}}

It was some time before King Poseidon reappeared, but he eventually showed up again when Autobot Godmaster [[Lightfoot (G1)|Lightfoot]] clashed with the Seacons in the waters off [[Australia]] and was sent tumbling into a crevasse. When Ginrai arrived to save his team-mate, the Seacons merged into King Poseidon and collapsed the crevasse on both of them, intending to leave them both to be destroyed by a sub-sea volcano that was about to erupt. Ginrai's drone partner [[Godbomber]] soon came to dig them out, and King Poseidon engaged him in battle to prevent the Autobots from being rescued, but during their fight, the volcano erupted. King Poseidon was knocked aside by flying rocks, allowing Godbomber to extricate Ginrai and Lightfoot, but as they attempted to flee, King Poseidon recovered for one final attack. Ginrai and Godbomber merged into God Ginrai and grappled with the combiner on the rim of the volcano, at which point Lightfoot performed a "Chōkon Spin Drill", creating a water spout that threatened to suck King Poseidon in. With his attention divided, King Poseidon was overcome by Ginrai and hurled into the volcano, then hit with a blast from Ginrai's God Cannon, blowing him into his component parts. As ever, only Turtler survived, slinking back to [[Decepticon Base]] to report his failure. {{storylink|Escape!! The Underwater Volcano Erupts}}

[[File:Kingposeidon clouderdangle.jpg|left|thumb|I believe I can fly... I believe I can touch the sky...]]
A little later, the Decepticons found themselves approached by the final Godmaster, [[Clouder]], and [[Hydra (G1)|Hydra]] instructed King Poseidon to test the newcomer's ability in battle. Surprisingly the other uninformed Decepticons, King Poseidon burst from beneath the ground and mercilessly attacked Clouder, who countered by transforming to his falcon form, seizing the combiner's shoulders, and hoisting him into the air. As he was dragged over a nearby cliff and dangled over the ocean, King Poseidon attempted to free himself with his double cannons, but wound up having his limbs blasted off by Clouder's Chōkon Power. As he tumbled into the ocean, Clouder hit him with one more blast, blowing King Poseidon to pieces yet again and proving himself to the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Appearance!! The Final Godmaster}} {{storylink|Secret Orders! Destroy the Autobot Base!!}} Clouder was subsequently installed as a double agent within the Autobot ranks, and the information he fed the Decepticons enabled them to perform an all-out assault on [[Autobot Base]]. King Poseidon was summoned into action by Giga and separated into his component Seacon parts, which proceeded to invade the base and destroy it from within. {{storylink|Disaster! The Autobot Base Explodes}}

When the Decepticons captured Autobot [[Headmaster Junior]] [[Shūta Gō]], King Poseidon served as jailer for the young hero, holding him in an unbreakable grip as Ginrai arrived in the base to rescue him. Unable to act thanks to King Poseidon's hold on his team-mate, Ginrai was pummelled by [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]], but the tables turned most unexpectedly when the Decepticon Junior [[Cancer (G1)|Cancer]] could finally no longer stomach the Decepticons' evil and opened fire on King Poseidon. King Poseidon's arm was blown off and he dropped Shūta, but Cancer pressed his attack, and King Poseidon turned his weapons on the youth, blasting his gun out of his hand. Luckily, before he could deliver the killing blow, King Poseidon was once again blasted to smithereens by Godbomber. {{storylink|God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base}} Cancer subsequently sided with the Autobots and provided them with the information they needed to mount an attack on the Decepticons' headquarters, during which King Poseidon was formed once again, only to be promptly blown apart by [[Grand Maximus]]. {{storylink|The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}}

[[File:Kingposeidon metalhawkswordfight.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|Mine's bigger than Yours!]]
When the Autobots' assault resulted in the destruction of Decepticon Base, the villains relocated to the [[Grand Canyon]] for an attack on North America, and the Autobots pursued, splitting up into teams to search. The team consisting of the Headmaster Juniors and [[Ranger]] were about to scale a rock face when it exploded into fragments, revealing King Poseidon hiding within it. When their weapons proved ineffective against the giant, Shūta and [[Cab (human)|Cab]] grabbed his arms in hopes of breaking them off, but King Poseidon simply slammed his arms together, crushing the boys between them. Although Ginrai and Grand Maximus arrived to save them, the Decepticons pulled out rather than fight on, heading for the Alps for their final attack on Earth. {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}} Again, the Autobots gave chase, but as soon as they arrived in the Alps, [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]] and the Autobot Juniors were almost immediately attacked by the waiting King Poseidon. Metalhawk engaged the combiner in a sword fight, but as they strained their blades against one another, Ginrai appeared in the skies overhead and knocked King Poseidon into his component Seacons with a God Punch attack. Rather uncharacteristically, the Seacons actually managed to stay intact through his disassembly, and Turtler had them immediately recombine to attack Ginrai, but the Autobot hero easily blew King Poseidon to fragments with his God Cannon, for the final time. {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} Turtler, of course, survived the explosion, but disappeared, and was not seen either during the final battle, or when the other Decepticons fled into space at the war's end. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

====''Generations Selects Special Comic''====
[[File:Selects King Poseidon Full Target Mode.jpg|left|thumb|230px]]

After traveling to the [[Precursor World]], Turtler recreated his Seacon drones using [[Angolmois Energy]]. He reformed King Poseidon using four Gulfs while battling Optimus Prime over the [[Silver Matrix]]. {{storylink|Seacons comic 3}} Prime began blasting off the King's limbs, but he summoned more drones of the Kraken and Lobclaw types and replaced his lost arms. {{storylink|Seacons comic 4}} Optimus Prime could heal himself using Star Power, however, keeping their battle at a standstill. He struck King Poseidon with great force, causing the combiner to separate back into Turtler, a Lobclaw, Kraken, and two Gulfs. The Seacons regrouped in the waters of the [[Blue Planet (GS)|Blue Planet]], with all six Seacon types now upgraded by Angolmois Energy. Turtler initiated the King Poseidon combination again, hoping to prove the Seacons were worthy of respect and would never be looked down upon again. King Poseidon was shocked when he realized he still couldn't overpower Prime, who was drawing strength from his burning determination to protect the lives on the Blue Planet. Still, King Poseidon continued to fight, believing he could claim real power through the Silver Matrix. {{storylink|Seacons comic 5}}

King Poseidon's struggle with Optimus Prime was interrupted by Galvatron. Having reformatted himself inside the Photon Sailer, Galvatron emerged as Super Megatron as he brought down Halfshell and his ship. He mocked King Posideon with how Halfshell had been using him, but the united Seacons refused to listen. King Poseidon turned his power on Megatron, but was blown to pieces for his troubles. {{storylink|Super Megatron comic 1}}

Matters escalated as [[Primus]] and the Blue Corps of the [[Primal Vanguard]] joined the fight, but Super Megatron evolved to become Ultra Megatron Omega thanks to the energies of the Silver Matrix. King Poseidon re-entered the fray to protect Prime from Megatron (having restored his combiner mode using more Seacons). Even with an army of Seacons at his back, however, King Poseidon was broken apart again by the arsenal of Megatron Omega.
{{storylink|Super Megatron comic 2}} He eventually accepted his failure and reverted to Turtler. {{storylink|God Neptune comic 1}}

In defense of the Blue Planet, King Poseidon would reform again using Decepticons from 2050, becoming the [[Scramble 7]] combination. As chaos reigned around them, King Poseidon reluctantly teamed up with God Neptune. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}

====''Zone''====
Years later, King Poseidon was among several powerful Decepticons led in an assault on planet [[Micro|Zone]] by the reborn [[Emperor of Destruction|Dark Emperor]] [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]. Attempting to steal their [[Energon Z]], the Decepticons proved no match for the [[Micromaster]]s and were driven away. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)#Catalogue story page 1|Zone Project Story}}

[[File:KingPoseidonZone1.jpg|thumb|...of course he needs a cape! He's a "King"!]]
King Poseidon was one of nine Decepticons selected by the supernatural new emperor of the Decepticons, Violengiguar, to become one of his [[Nine Great Demon Generals|Great Demon Generals]]. Appointed "Oceanic Fish General" and equipped with new powers and weapons to make him stronger than before, King Poseidon was first unleashed against the Autobots on the ocean planet of [[Wall]]. Hiding beneath the waves alongside Trypticon, King Poseidon emerged to battle Autobot commander [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]], but was beaten back by a concentrated attack from [[Erector (G1)|Erector]], [[Skywave]], [[Missile Bull]], and [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 3}} At some point, the Generals schooled [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]] and the [[Metrosquad]] in the ways of evil, making them formidable opponents to the [[Powered Master]]s. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 7}}

King Poseidon was sent to [[Earth]] along with [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], and [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] to steal the [[Zodiac]] necessary for Violengiguar's schemes. The mysterious energy source was located beneath the planet's surface by new Autobot commander [[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]] and stolen by Devastator, but as Dai Atlas attempted to chase him down, King Poseidon struck, emerging from a nearby subterranean lake and ensnaring Dai Atlas with a chain. Devastator handed the Zodiac off to King Poseidon, who returned to the surface with it, where he was attacked by [[Sonic Bomber (G1)|Sonic Bomber]] and forced to hurl the Zodiac out of his reach. Unfortunately for the villains, Dai Atlas was the one who caught it, prompting Trypticon to fire a beam of Energon Z at the heroes. The Energon Z interacted with the Zodiac, which empowered Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber with its energies, transforming them into powerful new "Zone Modes". The firepower of the two Autobots' new modes was directed upon King Poseidon and Trypticon, who were destroyed when they exploded dramatically. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

===Comic continuity===
====''Super-God Masterforce'' comic====
[[File:Kingposeidon manga.jpg|upright=1.4|left|thumb]]
One of King Poseidon's forays onto the battlefield occurred when the Decepticons attempted to dupe the Autobots with holographic projections of legendary Decepticons from years past. Racing into action, the Autobots suddenly found themselves surrounded by a legion of Decepticons led by "[[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]", and while the holograms themselves posed no danger, the threat of King Poseidon was all too real. The Seacon combiner loomed over the battlefield, bearing down on the Autobots, at which point the new Autobot Godmasters Lightfoot, Ranger and [[Road King]] arrived with a new trailer unit for Ginrai's Transtector. At Lightfoot's instruction, Ginrai combined with the trailer, transforming into "Super Ginrai" and unleashing the full extent of his Chōkon Power against King Poseidon. Struck by a "Super Fire Guts" attack, King Poseidon was smashed to bits, and the battered Turtler limped away while the Autobots realized the had been facing illusions. {{storylink|Burn, Chokon! New Commander Super Ginrai!}}

Turtler later combined with several other Decepticons into the mis-matched "[[Scramble 7]]", which, naturally, had Piranacon's head and torso. {{storylink|The Battle Begins! The Earth-Space Alliance Army}}

King Poseidon returned as the powerful '''Grand King Poseidon''' and battled the Autobot Masterforce warriors in a whirlpool. {{storylink|Headmasters VS Masterforce}}

Years later, King Poseidon was one of nine Decepticons selected by the supernatural new emperor of the Decepticons, Violengiguar, to become one of his [[Nine Great Demon Generals|Great Demon Generals]]. Appointed "Oceanic Fish General" and equipped with new powers and weapons to make him stronger than before, King Poseidon was first unleashed against the Autobots on the ocean planet of [[Wall]]. Hiding beneath the waves alongside Trypticon, King Poseidon emerged to battle Autobot commander [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]], but was beaten back by a concentrated attack from [[Erector (G1)|Erector]], [[Skywave]], [[Missile Bull]], and [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]. {{storylink|Fight!

Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 7}}

King Poseidon, Trypticon, Predaking, and Devastator were directed to attack Earth in search of the mysterious "Zodiac", in order to create the super-energy Violengiguar needed for his schemes. They were pursued to the planet by the Autobot [[Powered Master]]s Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber but while, Dai Atlas was occupied in a subterranean battle with Devastator, King Poseidon located and absconded with the Zodiac. Dai Atlas pursued him back to Earth's surface, where both sides grappled for possession of the Zodiac until Trypticon fired a beam of [[Energon Z]] at the Autobots. The Energon Z interacted with the Zodiac and unleashed its energies, transforming Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber into heavily armed new "Zone Modes". The two heroes blasted the generals with their powerful new weapons, winning the day. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (manga)|Zone}}

: Released in the fourth year of Takara's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' line under the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1988 (Super-God Masterforce)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' banner, King Poseidon is identical to the Hasbro-release [[Piranacon (G1)#Toys|Piranacon]], being the combined mode of all six Seacons. [[Turtler#Toys|Turtler]] forms the torso, [[Kraken#Toys|Kraken]] and [[Lobclaw#Toys|Lobclaw]] form the left and right arms respectively, [[Gulf#Toys|Gulf]] and [[Tentakil (Masterforce)#Toys|Tentakil]] form the right and left legs respectively, while [[Overbite (Masterforce)#Toys|Overbite]] is in his artillery mode as a hand-cannon, thanks to the unique combiner fists that serve double-duty as both a standard [[5 mm post]] holder and a "[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1986 (Scramble City and 2010)|Scramble City]]"-style combiner socket. And like any "Scramble City" style combiner, the limbs (and gun-bot) are freely swappable and cross-compatible with any other teams (though obviously the combiner would need Poseidon's fists to use a bot as a gun).

: Normally, one would have to buy all six Seacons separately to complete the combiner. However...

: A TakaraTomy-initiated addition to the ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' series, all six Seacons were re-made for the ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' direct-order series, each one an extensive (and in a couple cases, almost-total) [[retool]]ing of a ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' combiner toy. He comes with new-mold combiner [[kibble]], with ''Power of the Primes''-style combiner hands that feature individually-posable fingers. As a result, those hands are similarly compatible with [[Prime Master]]s, albeit the port one would use to plug in those accessories is shallower than on the aforementioned ''Power of the Primes'' hands.

: King Poseidon's large trident-shaped sword is now formed by combining the melee weapons of the six individual Seacons. Similarly, the Seacons' guns contain multiple ports and pegs, enabling them to be assembled in several possible ways to form a large gun for King Poseidon, not unlike those encouraged by the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. While there are no official configurations detailed in the instructions with which to combine the Seacons' guns, the ''[[Transformers Generations 2020]]'' book does include one suggestion that can be replicated if one wishes.<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/generations-selects-seacons-in-color.1178893/page-116#post-17509007 Suggested combination of the Seacons' guns for King Poseidon] in the TFW2005 thread for the ''Selects'' Seacons</ref>

: Speaking of large guns, he retains the original "use one bot as a cannon" gimmick thanks to each limb-bot having an "artillery" mode, essentially formed by slightly modifying their leg modes. As the individual limbs are not designed with gun handles for their Targetmaster forms, the Seacon serving that purpose instead uses its combiner peg to attach to a port on the back of one of the combiner hands. However, as the limb molds were not originally engineered to bear the weight of an ''entire separate limb figure'' attached in this manner, doing this will likely cause King Poseidon to drastically lean forward, making it difficult to stand him straight. This also makes it incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to pose King Poseidon holding up his arm in a firing pose without external assistance such as a [[flight stand]], to take the excess weight off the combiner's joints.

: In [[Super Megatron comic 1|the first installment]] of the promotional comics advertising ''Generation Selects'' [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#Generations Selects|Super Megatron]], King Poseidon assumes what it called his "Full Target Mode", which basically replaces the combiner's hands and feet with the gun barrels of his components' Targetmaster modes. This mode can be replicated with these figures, but the resultant configuration is highly unstable.

: The Seacons were all sold individually, released two at a time over the course of three months: [[Turtler#Generations|Turtler]] and [[Gulf#Generations|Gulf]] on [[January 25]] 2020, [[Kraken#Generations|Kraken]] and [[Lobclaw#Generations|Lobclaw]] on [[February 29]], and [[Overbite (Masterforce)#Generations|Overbite]] and [[Tentakil (Masterforce)#Generations|Tentakil]] on [[March 28]]. They were [[TakaraTomy Mall]] [[exclusive]]s in Japan, but were also carried by [[Hasbro Pulse]] and other online retailers in the U.S. and Canada.

: This set (minus Lobclaw) was later [[redeco]]ed as [[God Neptune#Generations Selects|God Neptune]].

The two sets could be plugged together to form King Poseidon. Each group of three was connected by a rubber sprue, and were available in blue, yellow, or red, so you could wind up with a mis-matched King Poseidon, like the one we've got pictured here!

Optimus Prime (One)

2024-12-09T07:33:13Z

MinerEdgar: /* Merchandise */ added entry for killerbody High End Baby Figure

{{factions|autobot|hofsilver}}
{{disambig3|Optimus Prime}}
:''Optimus Prime is an [[Autobot]] from [[Transformers One (franchise)|One]].''
[[File:One-Optimus-Prime-full-body.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Bring me Sentinel!"]]

Bold and daring, '''Orion Pax''' came from humble beginnings as a [[cogless]] energon miner who, growing bored with his duties, snuck around in the archives to learn about the [[Thirteen|Primes]]. Yearning for adventure and the autonomy to make his own choices, he often tricked his by-the-books best friend [[Megatron (One)|D-16]] into breaking the rules and getting them both in trouble.

Despite this, his spark is very much in the right place, and as his sense of justice matured, he was bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]], becoming the legendary hero '''Optimus Prime'''.

{{bigquote|We stand here together as one, proving we all have the the power to transform; to become who we were destined to be; to right wrongs; to make our world better. Because here, freedom and autonomy are the right of all sentient beings. Here, all are truly ''Autobots''.|Optimus Prime|''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]''}}

==Fiction==
===''One'' film===
{{voiceactor|[[Chris Hemsworth]] (English), [[Yūichi Nakamura]] (Japanese)|[[Goran Višnjić]] (Croatian), [[Tommy Morgenstern]] (German trailers and Main Movie), [[Adrien Antoine]] (European French), [[Martin Desgagné]] (Canadian French), [[Andrés Gutiérrez Coto]] (Latin-American Spanish), [[Ivan Labanda]] (Spain Spanish), [[Mauro Horta]] (Portuguese), [[Massimiliano Manfredi]] (Italian), [[Tuukka Haapaniemi]] (Finnish)}}

Despite lacking a cog, the energon miner Orion Pax was an incredibly bold bot who dreamed of proving his and other cogless transformers' worth, often getting into trouble for failing to obey rules or follow protocol. Orion befriended the unambitious [[Megatron (One)|D-16]], who idolized [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] and spent most of his time pulling Orion out of one jam or another. Once, Orion became convinced that he could transform without a transformation cog, and D-16 had to spend three days getting his friend back into shape. On several occasions, Orion broke into the city's archives searching for information about the missing [[Matrix of Leadership]]. After the latest such illicit adventure, D-16 helped him escape from the [[Guard (One)|archive guards]], and Orion gifted his best friend with a pristine sticker of [[The Fallen|Megatronus Prime]]. During a mining expedition, Orion broke protocol with D-16 to rescue [[Jazz (One)|Jazz]] after a vein of unstable energon caused the mine to collapse. In response to his breaking of protocol, his captain, [[Elita-1 (One)|Elita-1]] was fired and demoted by [[Darkwing (One)|Darkwing]]. Angered by this injustice, Orion reminded Darkwing that while he lacked a Transformation Cog, his finger could still transform into a rude gesture, causing Darkwing to almost deck Orion until D-16 intervened by punching Orion and trying to apologize on his behalf before being knocked down himself.

Following the mining incident, [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel Prime]] announced his return from the surface, informing the city that he had failed to find the Matrix, but that work would be stopped so that everyone could watch the Iacon 5000 race the following day. Seeing an opportunity to show everyone their potential, Orion tricked D-16 into entering alongside him, coming close to victory until D-16 was injured on the final stretch. While trying to convince an upset D-16 that participating in the race wasn't a mistake, the pair were visited by Sentinel Prime, who praised them for inspiring the other miners to work harder and granted them access to his personal repair bay. However, before they could be escorted, Darkwing, angry at the pair for nearly beating him in the race, took them down to waste management at sublevel 50 where the two met [[Bumblebee (One)|B-127]].

While B-127 was introducing the pair to his artificial friends, Orion discovered that one of the sculptures contained a transmitter from [[Alpha Trion (One)|Alpha Trion]] and a map of a possible location of the Matrix. After convincing D-16 and B-127 to accompany him on the search, the three snuck their way up the garbage chute to take a train to the surface, where they ran into Elita-1. Still royally steamed at Orion for getting her fired, Elita attempted to stop the departing train. Knocked off the train by Cybertron's shifting geology and left stranded on the surface, the group convinced Elita-1 to join their party in search of the Matrix. The map eventually led them to an [[Mouth of Unicron|ancient cave]] where the Primes had fallen in battle against the [[Quintesson]]s. The Matrix was not in the cave, but Orion discovered that Alpha Trion's spark still flickered and the group reactivated him with an energon cube. Trion revealed a dark truth: that Sentinel was an imposter, a false Prime who had betrayed the Primes and made a deal with the Quintessons where he would be allowed to rule Cybertron in return for paying them energon and, as a result, stole the cogs from new transformers so they could mine it.
[[File:TF-One-Optimus-Prime-2024.jpg|left|300px|thumb|"I choose to run towards my problems, and not away from them. Because's that– because's that what heroes do."]]
Though a bitter pill to swallow, Orion remained hopeful and announced his plan to reveal the truth to Iacon. D-16 on the other hand expressed his desire to kill Sentinel for what he had done, unnerving Orion, B-127, and Elita-1. Trion granted Orion and his allies the cogs of the dead Primes,<ref>In the film, [[Micronus Prime]]'s cog is shown going to Orion, while the film's novelization states he received [[Prima|Prima Prime]]'s. It doesn't ultimately have a significant effect on the story as a whole, so deciding which cog he got somewhat becomes a matter of [[personal canon]].</ref> and they escaped as Trion held off the approaching [[Death Tracker]]s. On their journey back to Iacon, the party was captured by the former Cybertron [[High Guard]], who mistook them for Sentinel Prime's spies. After watching D-16 beat down [[Starscream (One)|Starscream]] and take control of the guard, they were attacked by Sentinel's legion of Death Trackers and his enforcer, [[Airachnid (One)|Airachnid]]. D-16, B-127, and many members of the Guard were captured, leaving Orion feeling hopeless. Elita, far from Orion's biggest fan, inspired him to keep going, reminding him that his greatest strength was his endless hope. Inspired, Orion rallied the remaining members of the Guard and organized a plan to free the others. While Elita smuggled them into Iacon, Orion made his first of many inspirational speeches to the cogless miners and convinced them to rise up against Sentinel after revealing the truth that their cogs were stolen.
[[File:One-Megs-Prime-face-to-face.jpg|thumb|300px|"Can I come home?" "The truce with Jotunheim is conditional upon your exile."]]
During the battle for Iacon, Orion helped free D-16 and the rest of the guard. While D-16 attacked Sentinel directly, Orion, B-127, and Elita instead focused on revealing Sentinel's treachery to the entire city via Airachnid's memories. After broadcasting them thoughout the entire city, D-16, despite the truth being out, was still set on killing the false Prime. Orion pleaded with him, trying to make his friend see that his path of vengeance was not the way to build the future. Shoving Orion aside, D-16 aimed his fusion cannon at Sentinel, only for his shot to hit Orion as he jumped in the way, blowing a hole through his chest and knocking him over a cliff. A horrified D-16 managed to catch Orion by the wrist, dangling over the edge. Mortally wounded, Orion begged his friend to not let go, only for D-16 to bitterly tell him he was done saving him and let him fall.

[[Primus]] took note of Orion's selfless sacrifice. As Orion plummeted into the depths, the structure of Cybertron opened up around him so that he fell into the planet's very core. There, the spirits of the Primes appeared around Orion, including Alpha Trion, who announced that Primus had judged him worthy to bear the Matrix of Leadership and be custodian of Cybertron's future. The Matrix materialized and settled into Orion's chest cavity, transforming him into Optimus Prime. Hurled back to the surface, Optimus landed before D-16, now Megatron, and fought to stop him from destroying any more of the city, ultimately forcing him to surrender by destroying his fusion cannon with an [[energon-axe]]. Saddened by the path of destruction his old friend had chosen, Optimus banished Megatron and his followers from Iacon. Knowing he could not lead the planet alone, Optimus asked Elita and B-127 to work with him, an offer that was readily accepted by both bots. Holding the Matrix high, energon began flowing in abundance once again and the miners were granted cogs, becoming fully autonomous "Autobots". Optimus vowed that the Autobots would defend Cybertron from the Quintessons and any [[Decepticon|future enemies]].{{storylink|Transformers One (film)|One}}

:Released as part of ''[[Transformers One (toyline)|Transformers One]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Prime Changers line, Optimus Prime is a Deluxe Class-ish figure and transforms from a robot to a Cybertronian truck in 20 steps. Like the other Prime Changers, he has pearlescent plastic and glittery paint applications, specifically his silver and gunmetal paint.

:His removable shoulder pipes can double as blasters. He comes with his Energon axe which can be wielded on his hands and stored on his back or between his legs in alt mode. Both the shoulder pipes and axe are [[Fire Blast effect]]-compatible. The included Matrix of Leadership can be held using 5 mm posts with both hands. Word of caution: the Matrix may break if the arms are pulled apart while he is holding it due to the thin plastic. There is a [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|''Generations'']]-style 3 mm port on his posterior in robot mode for use with various industry standard action figure stands.

:Due to its short friction pegs, the wrists can become floppy or pop off easily. The stock photography on the back of his box shows him with an Autobot symbol in the center of his chest above his windshield, but the actual toy lacks one.

:Like a few of his other ''One'' toys, the Prime Changer seems to be based on an early design for Optimus Prime (see [[#Notes|Notes]]). The designers of the larger [[#Studio Series|''Studio Series'' Deluxe]] toy consider this Prime Changer toy as the Orion Pax form due to its smaller size.<ref name=April25/>

:Optimus comes in a [[Target]]-exclusive 2-pack with [[Megatron (One)#RaceChangers|Megatron/D-16]]. They can be launched at each other for combative play or have the launchers connected side-by-side for racing action.

:''[[Studio Series]] One'' Optimus Prime is a larger Deluxe Class figure and transforms into a Cybertronian truck in 25 steps. His shoulder pipes are removable and can double as blasters, though they can't use [[Fire Blast effect|blast effects]] like the above [[#PrimeChanger|Prime Changer]]. His energon axe, however, keeps the effect peg and also fuctions similarly, pegging into his hand and storing on his back in robot mode and in the truck bed. The included Matrix of Leadership can tab into slots in his fists without the need for opening hands. He comes with a "dual-barrel blaster" meant only for his truck mode, which can be stored under his back in robot mode. Lastly, Optimus comes with a backdrop showcasing the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] cityscape as seen in the film.

:Optimus was revealed on [[April 18]], 2024, alongside the premiere of the movie's first trailer. Released at the Deluxe Class price point, Optimus is a smaller (and more affordable) figure than previous Optimus toys in the line.

:Released as part of Blokees' ''Classic Class'' model kit line, this Optimus Prime is a 4.5-inch tall non-transforming Deluxe/Prime Changer-sized ''Gunpla''-style model kit with some pre-painted parts on the runners. He also features a torso frame that lights up upon shaking (or at least ''lightly tap'' some areas on the torso), causing the eyes and the Matrix to glow for a limited time. Aside from the usual display stand and two pairs of hand parts, Optimus also includes a Tracker Blaster (used by his cogged Orion Pax form) to hold and an interchangeable unmasked face piece. While the pieces are molded on a touch-gate runner for easy removal of parts without nippers or tools, the former is required for a cleaner cut. The head, back piece, and upper neck collar parts must be removed first to allow access to the Matrix chamber to detach the MacGuffin.

:The smokestacks can be inverted via parts rearrangement to create its "flamethrower" mode. Also, care must be taken while swapping the face plates; Careful wiggling is required to remove the pieces from the translucent eye/socket joint part.

==Notes==
*There appears to have been an earlier concept design for Optimus Prime that was used for several of his toys, notably the Prime Changer, Mega Changer, and Robot Battler. This design has prominent sloped kneepads, a narrower chest window (but not pinched in the middle like Orion Pax's), and an angled collar section similar to his Cogged Orion Pax design.
*One of Optimus Prime's models has a blue axe with an orange trim instead of the orange axe with a blue trim from the final film. This older model is in a few promotional renders and was the reference used for most of his 2024 merchandise.
*Many of his toys and merchandise also use a traditional silver/gray instead of the light bronze of his final design.
*Orion's interest in the archives is a nod to [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|his]] backstory from both ''[[Transformers: The War Within]]'' and the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned Continuity]], where he was a data clerk before becoming Prime.

[[File:Megatron (One).jpg|right|300px|thumb|Upright=1.66|"SENTINEL! Your miner has returned! I bring the destruction of Iacon!"]]

The humble energon miner known only as '''D-16''' was a stickler to protocol, a [[The Fallen|Megatronus Prime]] fanboy who believed strict adherence to the system and its rules would one day allow him to ascend to greater heights. His attitude often served as a reality check and grounding presence to his best friend, the bold and adventurous [[Optimus Prime (One)|Orion Pax]]. However, after experiencing events that left his entire worldview turned upside down, D-16 would embark on a path consumed by anger and revenge... a path that corrupted him into a despotic villain even worse than the one he rose up to fight against. A villain called '''Megatron'''.

{{bigquote|The age of [[Thirteen|Primes]] has ended! No more [[Sentinel Prime (One)|false prophets]]! Follow me, and you will never again be deceived!! RISE UP!!!|D-16 declaring a new era|''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]''}}

A cogless energon miner and big [[The Fallen|Megatronus Prime]] fan, D-16 often found himself bailing his best friend, [[Optimus Prime (One)|Orion Pax]], out of trouble. On one such occasion, after Orion had been caught trespassing in the archives, he gave D-16 a rare sticker of Megatronus to wear proudly on his shoulder. During a mining expedition with their captain [[Elita-1 (One)|Elita-1]], D-16 and Orion broke protocol when an unstable energon vein caused a collapse, staying behind to free the trapped [[Jazz (One)|Jazz]].

After a transmission from Cybertron’s leader, [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel Prime]], announced that the [[Iacon 5000]] race was happening the following day, Orion tricked his friend into entering, using [[jet pack]]s to compensate for their inability to transform. Despite briefly taking the lead, the two ultimately placed last after D-16 was injured on the final stretch. Berating Orion for the trouble they were about to be in for daring to enter, the two friends were surprised when Sentinel Prime paid them a visit in the medbay and congratulated them for inspiring the other miners, promising they would be patched up in his quarters. However, before [[Airachnid (One)|Airachnid]] could escort them there, [[Darkwing (One)|Darkwing]], furious at almost being beaten by two miners, tossed them down to sublevel 50, where they met the energetic [[Bumblebee (One)|B-127]].

[[File:TF-One-D-16.jpg|thumb|right|150px|He’s getting the touch, he’s getting the power!]]
While being shown B-127's garbage statues, Orion discovered a transmitter that gave coordinates on the possible location of the [[Matrix of Leadership]], which had been lost for cycles, causing the energon to stop flowing. Though initially skeptical, D-16 eventually agreed to accompany Orion and B-127 to the surface to search for the artifact. Hitching a ride on a transport train with Elita-1 trying to stop them, the quartet was thrown from their transport after reaching the surface. After convincing Elita to join them on their quest, they arrived at an ancient cave containing the bodies of the fallen Primes. Although the Matrix was nowhere to be found, the four discovered that [[Alpha Trion (One)|Alpha Trion]]’s spark still flickered and revived him with an energon cube. Trion told them of the lie they had been living, about how Sentinel betrayed the Primes in favor of making a deal with the invading Quintessons and removed the transformation cogs from newly born Cybertronians so they could mine energon for the Quintessons.

Enraged by this revelation, D-16 vowed to kill Sentinel, unnerving his comrades. Trion granted the four transformation cogs, taken from the bodies of the fallen Primes.<ref>In the film, [[Prima|Prima Prime]]'s cog is shown going to D-16, while the film's novelization states he received [[Onyx Prime]]'s. It doesn't ultimately have a significant effect on the story as a whole, so deciding which cog he got somewhat becomes a matter of [[personal canon]].</ref> Fleeing from Sentinel's Death Trackers, the former Cybertronian High Guard captured the four. Unwilling to back down, D-16 fought the Guard's leader, [[Starscream (One)|Starscream]], defeating him and damaging his throat, and manifesting his [[fusion cannon]] for the first time. Though he ultimately chose not to execute Starscream, he promised it would be the last time he showed mercy, earning the respect and seizing control of the Guard. Before they could launch an attack, however, they were found by Sentinel’s forces, with D-16, B-127 and several others being captured and brought to Sentinel’s tower. D-16 refused to kneel before the false Prime who, noticing his Megatronus decal, painfully cut the symbol into his chest and revealed that he stole Megatronus' transformation cog after killing him.

After being freed in a siege led by Orion and Elita-1, D-16 seized the opportunity to attack Sentinel. Despite being outmatched, a citywide broadcast of Airachnid's memories revealing Sentinel's treachery gave D-16 the opening to overpower Sentinel, ripping off his wings and preventing his escape. Aiming his fusion cannon at the false Prime, D-16 was horrified when his shot hit an intercepting Orion, who had attempted to stop him from becoming like Sentinel. Eventually deciding he was done saving his friend, D-16 let Orion fall into Cybertron's core and tore Sentinel in half, seizing Megatronus' cog from his chest and declaring himself "Megatron". Rallying the High Guard to ransack the city, Megatron briefly fought B-127 and Elita-1 before Orion, repaired and empowered by the Matrix of Leadership into Optimus Prime, returned to the surface. In the ensuing battle, Optimus overpowered Megatron and banished him from Iacon, lamenting to his former friend about how he had chosen to destroy Cybertron like Sentinel had. Declaring that this wasn't over, Megatron and the High Guard retreated.

In the shadows, Megatron rechristened his new followers "[[Decepticon]]s" and swore revenge on Optimus. {{storylink|Transformers One (film)|One}}

:Released in the final wave of 2024 ''[[Studio Series]]'' toys, Megatron transforms into a Cybertronian tank and is based on his form in the final battle of ''Transformers One'', thus lacking the Decepticon insignia added in the post-credit scene. However, the fusion cannon and two side cannons are from his cogged D-16 form. His fusion cannon and smaller arm cannon can be mounted on either arm and combine to form the main turret of the tank mode. The smaller cannons can attach to the turret base or sides of his tank mode, or to his left arm should you wish Megatron to possess a more movie-accurate machine gun. He also comes with a backdrop depicting the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] cityscape as seen in the film.

:His head tends to pop off easily unless you gently push it forward until you hear a quiet "click." The arm cannon can be attached to his fusion cannon to somewhat approximate his final form's cannon.

:Megatron was first revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] along with the rest of his wave. This figure was included in a special "Media Influencer Box" sent out to select parties in late September—two months before the figure's scheduled release.

:Released as part of Blokees' ''Classic Class'' model kit line, this Megatron is a 4.5-inch tall non-transforming Deluxe/Prime Changer-sized ''Gunpla''-style model kit with pre-painted parts on the runners. He also features a torso frame that lights up upon shaking (or at least ''lightly tap'' some areas on the torso), causing the eyes and his inner Cog to glow for a limited time. Aside from the usual display stand, the similar pairs of hand parts, and the secondary arm-mounted cannon, Megatron also comes with his signature triple-barreled fusion cannon. While the pieces are molded on a touch-gate runner for easy removal of parts without nippers or tools, the former is required for a cleaner cut.

:Since the forearms are designed to be asymmetrical, it is not feasible to create a proper non-Fusion Cannon-activated right forearm with the original parts from another copy of the kit, unless ''extensive'' modifications are made.

'''Elita-1''' doesn't have time for your nonsense. As the head of an Energon mining crew, she maintained a spotless record while harvesting large amounts of energon for the good of Cybertron. Despite having to manage bots less perfect than herself, she put herself on track to promotion through her hard work and leadership skills.

...until one of those aforementioned [[Optimus Prime (One)|less-than-perfect bots]] messed all that up.

[[File:TFOne Mine Explosion.jpg|left|thumb|300px|IT'S GONNA BLOW!]]

As the captain of a group of [[cogless]] energon miners, Elita-1 maintained a spotless record and was determined to eventually be promoted to overseer. During one venture into the mines, [[Wheeljack (One)|Wheeljack]] accidentally caused an unstable energon vein to explode, causing a collapse that pinned [[Jazz (One)|Jazz]] under a rock. As per protocol, Elita ordered all miners to evacuate and leave Jazz. However, [[Optimus Prime (One)|Orion Pax]] and [[Megatron (One)|D-16]] defied the order and managed to save Jazz, barely making out of the collapsing tunnel and causing damage to nearby mining equipment. Elita was blamed for the disaster and demoted to waste management by [[Darkwing (One)|Darkwing]], not before angrily stamping her badge onto him.

During the [[Iacon 5000]] race, Elita watched in disbelief as Orion and D-16 were revealed to be participating on the monitors. After the race, she later found the two, along with the overly-talkative [[Bumblebee (One)|B-127]], trespassing on transport train in an attempt to reach the planet's surface. Still furious about her demotion, Elita attempted to sabotage the departing train. Despite this, Cybertron's shifting geology caused the four bots to be thrown from the train upon reaching the surface, with Elita crying out in fury. Orion explained they had discovered the possible location of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and were on a quest to retrieve the lost artifact. Snatching the map from Orion, Elita demanded that she be in charge and that if they found the Matrix, the other three would take full responsibility for going out of bounds and say she had tried to stop them.

The quartet eventually arrived at an ancient cave containing the bodies of the [[Thirteen|Primes]]. After searching the cave unsuccessfully for the Matrix, the four discovered that [[Alpha Trion (One)|Alpha Trion]]'s [[spark]] had not been extinguished and revived him with an Energon cube. Trion revealed that Cybertron's leader [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel Prime]], was an imposter, a false Prime who had betrayed the Primes as part of a deal with the invading Quintessons and had removed the [[transformation cog]]s from all newly born Cybertronians so they could mine energon as tribute for the invaders. To aid the four, Trion granted them cogs from four of the fallen Primes, with Elita receiving [[Alchemist Prime]]'s, and the group retreated as Trion held off the approaching [[Tracker|Death Trackers]].

On their way back to Iacon City, the four were captured by the former Cybertron High Guard. The Guard's leader, [[Starscream (One)|Starscream]], demanded intelligence on Sentinel but was beaten into submission by D-16, who seized control of the Guard and began to prepare for an assault on Sentinel's tower. Unfortunately, it was at that point that Sentinel's enforcer, [[Airachnid (One)|Airachnid]], found and destroyed the High Guard's base and captured D-16, B-127, Starscream, and several other Guard members. Elita gave a discouraged Orion a peptalk. Despite taking many digs at him, she praised him for his endless optimism and potential as a great leader. Though the remaining members of the guard displayed some dissent towards the newcomers, Elita silenced it by slugging [[Shockwave (One)|Shockwave]] in his eye. Formulating a plan to use the remaining Guard members along with additional support from the miners, Orion commanded the Guard to roll out for Sentinel's tower to rescue their comrades.

Commandeering a garbage train, Elita crashed it headlong into the tower while [[Soundwave (One)|Soundwave]] freed the prisoners. While D-16 attacked Sentinel, Elita, Orion, and B resolved to captured Airachnid and broadcast her memories to reveal Sentinel's crimes to the city. As the broadcast went out, Elita and the others watched as D-16 turned on Orion, dropping his former friend into a chasm. Elita tried to jump into the pit after Orion, only to be held back by B. She watched in horror as D-16 executed Sentinel, and declared himself "Megatron" before commanding the High Guard to ransack the city. Though Elita and B attempted to stop Megatron's rampage, they were no match for his new, more powerful form. Just then, Orion, empowered by the Matrix into Optimus Prime, returned to the surface and managed to defeat Megatron, banishing him and the High Guard from the city. Following the battle, Optimus offered Elita the rank of major, but she suggested becoming a commander instead, the request being granted by the new Prime. Elita looked on as Optimus used the power of the Matrix to make energon flow freely once more and gave all the miners transformation cogs. United as fully autonomous "Autobots", they vowed to defend Cybertron from the Quintessons and any [[Decepticon|future threats]]. {{storylink|Transformers One (film)|One}}

'''B-127''' works in waste management in the lower levels of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], and has done so for a long time. So long that he hasn't spoken to anyone else in a while, and the isolation's kind of getting to him—he's built himself a group of imaginary friends to keep him company, and he talks way, ''way'' too much to fill the silence. Even when he's unconscious. ''Especially'' when he's unconscious.

His name is kind of clunky, so he's been trying out a few nicknames, like '''Badassatron''';<ref>...which is pronounced '''''BADASSATRONNN'''''.</ref> for the most part, people just call him '''B'''.

Maybe he'll [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|figure out something better]] eventually.

==Fiction==
===''One'' film===
{{voiceactor|[[Keegan-Michael Key]] (English), [[Ryōhei Kimura]] (Japanese)|[[Dennis Schmidt-Foß]] (German, first trailer), [[Phil Laude]] (German, second trailer), [[Philippe Lacheau]] (European French), [[Julien Allouf]] (European French, first trailer), [[Patrick Emmanuel Abellard]] (Canadian French), [[Juca Viapri]] (Latin-American Spanish), [[Idzi Dutkiewicz Sánchez]] (Latin American-Spanish, first trailer), [[David Jenner]] (Spain Spanish), [[Andrea Lavagnino]] (Italian), [[Juha Viitala]] (Finnish)}}

For as long as he could remember, B-127 worked in waste management on sublevel 50. Deprived of anyone to talk to and left with only his garbage statues for company, B was overjoyed when [[Optimus Prime (One)|Orion Pax]] and [[Megatron (One)|D-16]] were thrown down to waste management by [[Darkwing (One)|Darkwing]]. Orion accidentally beheaded one of his statues and discovered a beacon from the Quintesson war, broadcasting a message from [[Alpha Trion (One)|Alpha Trion]] and giving coordinates on the possible location of the long-lost [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Deciding to investigate further, the trio climbed up the garbage chute and boarded an automated train headed for the surface. They were intercepted by [[Elita-1 (One)|Elita-1]], who headed for the front to report them to security. As the bots tussled, the train reached the surface and all four were thrown from it by Cybertron's shifting geology.

[[File:Transformers-One-B-127.jpg|left|280px|thumb|"Who are you calling Goldbug!?"]]

After a long journey full of nothing but B-127's babbling, the quartet arrived at an ancient cave containing the bodies of the Primes. Though the Matrix was nowhere to be found, Orion noticed that Alpha Trion's spark still flicked and revived him with an energon cube. Trion told them of how Cybertron's leader, [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel Prime]], was an imposter who had betrayed the Primes and made a deal with the Quintessons that allowed him to rule under their thumb. After giving them the transformation cogs of the fallen Primes, Trion told the four to leave while he held off Sentinel's trackers.

Forced to adapt very quickly to their new cogs, the group fought through Sentinel's forces to make it back to Iacon city and reveal the truth. However, they were caught by the former Cybertron [[High Guard]] whose leader, Starscream, demanded intelligence on Sentinel, believing them to be spies. D-16 remained defiant and seized control of the Guard from Starscream. It was then that Sentinel's enforcer, [[Airachnid (One)|Airachnid]], found them and attacked, taking B, D-16, and several Guard members to Sentinel's tower.

The false Prime revealed his intention to frame them as traitors and give them a public execution, but a siege led by Orion and Elita freed them. While D-16 attacked Sentinel, B, Orion, and Elita captured Airachnid and brought her to the broadcasting room, where B, ecstatic over his new battle mask and "knife hands" went a little overboard on the attack. Broadcasting Airachnid's memories and revealing the truth to the city, B and Elita watched in horror as a rage-filled D-16 turned on Orion, dropped him into Cybertron's core, executed Sentinel and renamed himself “Megatron” to the cheers of the High Guard.

B and Elita attempted to stop Megatron's rampage, but to no avail as they were no match for his powerful new form. Just then, Orion, reformatted by the Matrix into Optimus Prime, returned to the surface and defeated Megatron, banishing him and his followers from Iacon. Optimus, now the new ruler of Cybertron, stated that he would need B and Elita at his side, much to B's excitement. As Optimus used the power of the Matrix to make energon flow once more, B looked on as all the cogless miners were granted cogs and became fully autonomous “Autobots”, determined to defend Cybertron from all future threats.

Some time later, B went to see his old friends on sublevel 50 to share the tale of his adventure. After quickly putting [[Steve (One)|Steve's]] head back on, B proceeded to show off his new knife hands, accidentally killing Steve (again) and A-A-Tron, to his horror. {{storylink|Transformers One (film)|One}}

:Released as a [[Walmart]] exclusive in the United States and a few other select retailers across different regions, Energon Glow Bumblebee is an approximately Deluxe-sized toy, albeit slightly larger than his below Prime Changers version. He also features simpler engineering, with a big portion of the toy's budget being instead dedicated to a light-up chest gimmick activated by pressing his stomach. His arm blade and blaster can be used on either arm and combined to store on his robot back/vehicle roof.

:His paintjob is noticeably more gold-leaning (and in turn, more screen-accurate) than most other Bumblebees in the ''Transformers One'' mainline. Keeping in line with the "Energon Glow" theme of the figure, his wheels, lower arms, and car roof are all molded in transparent blue plastic.

:*''Accessories'': sword, blaster, chest cover
:Released as part of the Prime Changers line, Bumblebee/B-127 transforms from a robot to Cybertronian sports car in 15 steps. His chest plate can be removed to reveal a non-removable transformation cog. The blaster only attaches to his left hand, and the arm blade only to right unless combined with the blaster. The combined form is used to store the accessories on his robot back and vehicle roof, though they can also be attached individually if you want one equipped but not the other. Due to his particular conversion scheme, he can replicate the "car with arms" form he took while attempting to transform for the first time. He has a 3 mm flight stand port on his backside, only accessible in robot mode.

:His dark gunmetal, bright silver, and slate blue paint applications use glittery paint, while his plastic is pearlescent.

:While he appears to have a design flaw preventing his ankle tilts from working, this appears to actually be intentional. The tilt is necessary to lock his feet into position in vehicle mode, but due to the squared off socket for the joint pin, the feet become mostly locked in place in robot mode.

:Bee is the odd man out of the Prime Changers, being the only one who isn't roughly in [[scale]] with the rest. While having roughly the same mass as the other figures, his head, feet, and legs are about half again as big due to him basically being stretched to match their size.

Aside from his hand parts, B-127 also comes with an additional Transformation Cog, an unpainted (and non-screen accurate) welding helmet, and a Jetpack accessory, though he is not seen using it in the film.

:Due to how B-127's empty Cog slot is designed, there is ''no'' absolute way to make him interact with the accessory.

==Notes==
* Of all the main cast of ''Transformers One'', Bumblebee has the greatest connection to his [[live-action film series]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)|counterpart]]: his name being given as "B-127" is taken from ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', and his helmet design (with its large "cheeks" and movable "antennae") bears resemblance to his appearance in that film; additionally, his overly-talkative nature is a meta-gag about his "future" self being best known for not being able to speak. Conversely, his battle mask resembles his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]]'s [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Toys|original toy]].
*Despite the name being an alias used on most promotional material and toys, ''Bumblebee'' is never referred to as such in the film itself, presumably to avoid confusing audiences who [[Bumblebee (film)|already saw him receive that name on-screen]]. That, or Cybertronians don’t know what bees are yet.

[[File:G2-Clench-boxart.jpg|upright=2|thumb|You were supposed to be this colossus! You were this great legendary thing!]]
Utterly devoted to destroying the [[Autobot]]s, the Decepticon leader '''Clench''' (aka '''Colossus''') is fueled by anger, hatred, and malevolence. He wades into battle blasting, smashing and running over anything in his path with no mercy, then shooting anything else with heavy firepower.

So naturally, he's a registered driver in [[Texas]].

{{TOCclear}}

==Fiction==
===Fleetway ''Generation 2'' comic===
[[File:WarWithoutEndG2UK-Clench.jpg|upright=1|thumb|C'mon, at least shout your name and powers or something.]]
Clench was part of the Decepticon force led by [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], sent to [[Earth]] to smash stuff up and lure out [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]. Mostly, he just drove over some parked cars. {{storylink|War Without End (issue)|War Without End}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
[[File:MegsOrigin2 Clench dies.jpg|upright=1|thumb|left|Insert crappy "Let me give you a hand" joke here.]]
Long before the war, a group of ex-miners including [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]], [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]], and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] took part in a violent uprising against leaders who had exploited them while pocketing the fruits of their labor. They found themselves on the lam in crime-ridden [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], which is where they apparently met Clench. Clench employed these same bitter ex-miners to work as gladiators in an [[Gladiatorial combat|underground bloodsport]] (in which he also occasionally partook), placing them at greater risk than they had ever known and conditioning them to give in to their murderous impulses, all while hoarding the fruits of their labor for ''himself.'' Clearly, he had thought this through.

So Megatron eventually killed him during one of the fights and took over. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}}
{{--}}

===''Wings Universe''===
[[File:Clench g2 redux.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"But [[Streetwise (G1)#Wings Universe|Black Dynamite]], I sell drugs to the community!"]]
Clench was created at a [[Cyberfactory]] in the [[United States of America|U.S.]] state of [[Texas]] using a combination of human ingenuity, [[Nebulos|Nebulan]] science, and reverse-engineered Cybertronian technology that allowed access to the same font of life that flowed through [[Vector Sigma]]. Although designed to function as a security bot, Clench had other ideas: less than ten minutes after coming on-line he had demolished the facility he was born in and set off on one of the most atrocious criminal careers in history. Not the first unsavory Cybertronian of the second generation, Clench soon met others like him and forged them into an outlaw organization known as the [[Decepticon Syndicate]], with him as the head honcho.

Only cursorily connected to the original Decepticons, Clench gladly accepted new troops and technology that arrived from [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], so long as the big bosses "stayed off his turf". The Decepticon Syndicate started with classic Decepticon gambits like hijacking and fuel theft, but Clench soon expanded their repetoir into more unusual Cybertronian crimes like gunrunning and racketeering. Following the [[Non-Biological Entity Citizenship Amendment]] to the U.S. Constitution, Clench was simultaneously declared a citizen and #1 on the Most Wanted list. Clench eventually pushed too far, however, when he attempted to kidnap and ransom the [[Queen of England]]. This crime prompted [[United Kingdom|UK]] citizen [[Pyro (G1)|Pyro Ignatius Spark]] to gather his own team of second generation Autobots to actively oppose Clench and his Syndicate in their dirty dealings. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux|Clench's profile}}

[[File:G2Redux-Clenchgravitypowers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left]]
Clench led a platoon of "second generation" Decepticons into battle at the [[Large Hadron Collider]] in [[Switzerland]], repelling the Autobots who had tried to defend the facility and capturing Pyro. Inside, Clench met up with his new ally, the [[Quintesson]] minion [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]], who promised him that his highly energized [[forestonite]] fuel would endow the Decepticons with amazing new powers and tilt the tide of battle in their favor. [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] urged Clench not to trust Quintesson science, for which Clench mocked him...and then came to believe him, choosing to use [[Cindersaur (G1)|Cindersaur]] as a test subject for the forestonite. As this first subject began to mutate, Clench dictated that Sky-Byte and Breakdown would be the next guinea pigs, and if all survived then he himself would power up with the substance, to later determine if any other Decepticon deserved the privilege. The forestonite imbued Clench with the power to create local gravity wells, crushing and immobilizing his enemies.

He and his troops charged into battle against a would-be Autobot rescue team, and Clench reveled in his new power and gloated over how quickly his enemies would all be destroyed. But Clench and his troops were soon overwhelmed by the sheer number of Autobot reinforcements, whose rapid-attack tactics were more than a match for Clench's strategy of "use gravity beams to hold them down while [[Double Punch]] crushes them". Things only got worse when the Autobots gained Forestonite upgrades as well—particularly when Pyro gained limited precognition and could then pre-avoid all of Clench's attacks. In the skirmish the LHC facility was destroyed, prompting Double Punch and Sky-Byte to retreat. Disgusted at the prospect of a fair fight, Clench too fled the scene. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}

Cooperating with [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]], Clench supplied his ally with blueprints stolen by [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] as well as the [[Firecon]]s. When he was cagey about the Firecons' abilities, Jhiaxus revealed that he had already heard all about [[forestonite]] from Sky-Byte, infuriating Clench. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 2|A Flash Forward #2}}

Clench was once a [[gladiatorial combat|gladiator]], and his fight against [[Apeface]] made [[Pipes (G1)|Pipes]] a fan. After the closing of the pits under the [[Nominus Edict]], Clench became a member of the newly-rechristened Decepticons. Clench was a part of the attack on the [[Senate]] building, releasing a squad of [[Decepticon Mini-Cassette|Decepticon infiltration troopers]] hidden within him to swarm the Senators. He fought the [[Senate Guard]] members, even landing a hit on his former fan Pipes (and thinking he should at least feel a ''little'' guilty about it). {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: We Have Deceived You|We Have Deceived You}}

Clench was made a member of [[Strika (BM)|Strika's]] "[[Strika's Heavies|New Heavies]]", and manned a massive [[rail gun]] on the Senate building's roof. He reported to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] that he spotted [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] escaping, and fired on the retreating Autobots below, maiming [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and killing [[Chainclaw (G1)|Chainclaw]]. Clench wound up being blown to bits when [[Sunrunner (G1)|Sunrunner]] marked his position and [[Sidetrack (G1)|Sidetrack]] and [[Flak (G1)|Flak]] bombarded him with homing missiles. {{storylink|War World: Prime|Prime}}

{{toydesigner|[[Takio Ejima]] (TakaraTomy), [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

: Clench transforms into the front half of a long-nosed truck cab resembling an early 1990's Kenworth T600. The back half of his vehicle form, the truck bed and container, turns into a large, double-barreled, missile-launching artillery platform that uses "gravity feed" to load a new pair of missiles for rapid firing. Pressing a button between the barrels pops up a spring-loaded targeting reticule. Both [[gimmick]]s are available in truck mode as well. In truck mode, the support strut for the artillery cannon becomes a rear-mounted, extending gripper-claw.

: He was first released as part of the "transitional" period of ''Transformers'' in the European market, in Generation 1 style packaging, yet bearing the new ''Generation 2'' Decepticon sigil.

: Despite what his tiny fictional appearance and his boxart would suggest, Clench is actually a very dark blue-green in colour. With neat little sparkles! Yay. Sparkles.

==Notes==
[[File:Timelines-Clenchfake.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|THIS TOY REVEAL MAKES US SO ANGRY!!! BOTCON IS [[Ruined FOREVER|RUINED FOREVER]]!!!]]
*Clench's original toy's [[license plate]] reads "TEXAS 1953 NUE 480". It's certainly not a Texan license plate, but it doesn't particularly look like any European license plate either.
*Clench has what appears to be an odd personal insignia: jagged lightning bolts that at their center feature a gunsight-target view of a red wolf in crosshairs. Exactly what this is supposed to symbolize is unclear. The lightning bolt seems to be the same design used on fellow UK villain [[Skyquake (G1)#Toys|Skyquake]], which was released the year before Clench's original toy.
*His Function is "Leader." This supposedly means he's the main baddie of 1993's line, though Hasbro Europe was pretty liberal with the "Leader" label during that time. But most of the other "Leaders" were members of multi-bot groups, and since Clench is a Decepticon sub-group of one, then it follows he's likely the head honcho of them all.
*After some crafty fans found images of [[BotCon 2010]] [[Streetwise (G1)#Timelines|"Streetstar"]] in BotCon.com's directory structure, a (fake) photoshopped image of [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'']] [[Octane#Universe (2008)|Tankor]] in Clench's colors was found also soon thereafter, and reported as real news by Seibertron.com. About half an hour later, the BotCon 2010 site went live, revealing Clench's true sculpt. Oh, those [[Fun Publications]] guys, such [[Shattered Expectations (SG)|pranksters]].
*In "[[Generation 2: Redux]]", Clench's mannerisms are based on character actor {{w|Jack Palance}}.

MinerEdgar: updateing formatting

[[File:Transformers Activity Center Assembled.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb]]
The '''Transformers Activity Center''' is an [[Autobot]] base with three floors, a watchtower, and an armory. The armory walls are reinforced with stone in a manner resembling an [[Egypt]]ian [[pyramid]]. The one possible weak point in this mighty fortress's defences is a patch of wall on the ground floor.

==Toys==
* [[Transformers_Activity_Center |Transformers Activity Center]] (1985)

The Transformers Activity Center was a lithographed cardboard playset (similar to the [[S.T.A.R.S.]] [[Command Center (G1)|Command Center]]) produced under license from Hasbro by [[Warren (company)|Warren Industries]]. The set, released in 1985, is sized for standard Transformers of the time. The design provides the upper floors with enough weight distribution that they can support even the likes of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. One wall of the ground floor is designed with a "Break-through door", achieved by cuts in the cardboard. The first and second floors have various computer consoles and monitors for the Autobots to man, while the third floor is a simple extra battlement level. The long ramp/staircase leading to the second floor is just wide enough for [[Throttlebot]]s and [[Mini Vehicle]]s to drive down.

MinerEdgar: Added Transformers Gum Raiden entry

{{factions|autobot}}

:''The Trainbots are an [[Autobot]] [[subgroup]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Trainbots story page.jpg|thumb|right|450px|You may not like it, but this is what [[Transforming Bullet Train Robot Shinkalion|peak performance in the Japanese market]] looks like.]]

The '''Trainbots''' (トレインボット ''Toreinbotto'') are an Autobot subgroup that transform into trains. Having been constructed in [[Japan]], they consider the country to be their homeland, even going so far as to adopt Japanese names, which is unusual for Transformers. Due to this love for their "birthplace", the Trainbots feel especially protective of the country, its people, and its culture.

The Trainbots consist of:

*[[Shouki]] (leader), the brash speedster.
*[[Getsuei]], the sluggish stealth expert.
*[[Kaen]], the hot-running powerhouse.
*[[Seizan]], the rugged mountain-climber.
*[[Suiken]], the brainy strategist.
*[[Yukikaze (G1)|Yukikaze]], the icy cold weather operative.

They combine to form the train super robot, [[Raiden]]. Unsurprisingly for locomotives, they can also combine in vehicle mode to produce a single super space train and frequently act as interstellar transport for their fellow Autobots.

In the most dire of railway-related emergencies they can go even further beyond and combine with their fellow train 'bots in the [[Sixliner|Liner Team]] and the [[Sixtrain|Train Team]] to create the [[Trainbot Omni-Car Joint]], the ultimate expression of Autobot locomotive might.

Shouki and his team were not the first Trainbots, however. Known to only a few beyond their creators and their "older siblings" [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]] and [[Shadow]], the scientific initiative that birthed the Trainbots generated a second, "prototype" team of Trainbots.

They include:

*[[Doctor (G1)|Doctor]] (leader), the smart-mouthed medic.
*[[Silver (G1)|Silver]]
*[[Crystal (G1)|Crystal]]
*[[Thunder (G1)|Thunder]]
*[[Battle]]
*[[Miracle (G1)|Miracle]]

The prototype Trainbots can combine to form [[G Liner]], Raiden's powerful but sluggish predecessor.

There are also lesser-known additions to the Trainbot team, such as:

*[[Ginou]]
==Fiction==
===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''Generations'' toy bios====
The Trainbots were constructed on Earth, in Japan. Their creation was a collaboration by several Japanese companies utilizing technology developed in the [[Binaltech (technology)|''Binaltech Project'']]. {{storylink|Shouki#Generations (Japan)|''Generations'' Shouki bio}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
The Trainbots were built in the ''Raiden Initiative''. A number of scientists had at least a small part to contribute to their creation, including Drs. [[Doctor Fujiyama the Famous Scientist|Fujiyama]], [[Kenneth Onishi|Ōnishi]], [[Sōji Yoshikawa|Yoshikawa]], [[Chifumi Takahashi|Takahashi]], [[Kaminari Ishihara|Ishihara]], and [[Haruma Gō|Gō]]. As the ''Raiden Initiative'' was handled by [[Shibuya Manufacturing Corporation|Shibuya Manufacturing, Worldwide]] (on behalf of the Japanese government), the project leader was Doctor Yoshikawa. He was responsible for the weapons and communications systems for the team. Doctor Gō was the lead on building their superstructures. Doctor Ishihara created their neural networks and helped specify the parameters of their personality components. Doctor Ōnishi created their power grids. Doctor Fujiyama built their combat protocols. Their Heavy Series-Linkage System, which enabled them to combine, was designed by Doctor Takahashi. {{storylink|Source:Ask Vector Prime/Facebook#September 27, 2015|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/27}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
[[File:Hmop raiden.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]
In 2011, Shouki and the Trainbots were operating on Earth. After [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] invaded Cybertron, the robot trains assembled to transport their fellow Autobots to Cybertron across the [[Space bridge]]. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} The Trainbots formed Raiden and fought alongside [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] against their Decepticon combiner counterparts. They were nearly crushed by falling debris when [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] collapsed a building on them using his [[Sonic stun-gun|sonic stun gun]]. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} The Trainbots returned to Earth just in time to shuttle [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] back to Cybertron, after their successful quest for the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}} The Trainbots also transported Rodimus Prime and the [[Monsterbot (G1)|Monsterbot]]s to planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]] as reinforcements for the Headmasters, {{storylink|Rebellion on Planet Beast}} carried him into battle again on the planet [[Praum]], where [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] had set a trap for Fortress and his team. {{storylink|The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery}}

Back on Earth, Shouki and the Trainbots took Danny and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] on a sightseeing trip in Tokyo, Japan. Shouki was very proud of the country, which was his birthplace on Earth. When [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] declared his intention to steal all of Japan's energy, Shouki and the Trainbots remained quietly alert, confident their combination form could handle any threat to their homeland. Their passive response to the danger angered the more action-oriented Headmaster team, especially [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]. After fruitlessly chasing behind Sixshot in attacks on London and New York, Chromedome was incensed when he arrived back at Autobot headquarters to see Shouki and the Trainbots returning from a shopping spree with Danny. Shouki and Chromedome nearly came to blows with each other before Danny intervened.

[[File:Hm8 Trainbot Express.jpg|thumb|right|300px|With your head held high and your scarlet lies / You came down to me from the open skies]]
When Sixshot finally made his attack on Japan, Shouki demanded that his team be allowed the first strike against their opponent. Flying to the rescue, the Trainbots assembled as Raiden to fight Sixshot. Raiden's victory was prevented by the arrival of [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], piloted by [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. It turned into an all-out brawl after that, with the Headmasters arriving as reinforcements for their comrades. Sixshot was revealed, and he used his ninja training seemingly to duplicate himself, attacking Raiden as several winged wolves. As a demonstration of their newfound trust in each other, Raiden urged Chromedome to shoot at the holographic Sixshots swarming around him, knowing he would certainly be hit by some of the blasts. The Decepticons were eventually driven off and Shouki and Chromedome shook hands back at headquarters, having forged a warrior's bond on the field of battle. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

Galvatron soon struck out against Cybertron again, this time seeking the new super-metal known as [[Cybertonuron]]. The Trainbots were first in line on Earth to transport over the Space Bridge into combat with the Decepticons. They rushed straight into the fighting as soon as they arrived. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} They confronted the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] in defense of their home planet. Shouki clearly told [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] what's what, warning him to leave the planet or suffer the consequences. The battle was fierce but brief, as the Trainbots disabled their opponents. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

The Trainbots defended the [[Sol 1]] satellite during its launch cycle. When Scourge, Cyclonus and the Predacons arrived to steal the satellite, they flew out with the Headmasters to stop them. Shouki gave the command and the Trainbots assembled to form Raiden, grappling with [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] and ultimately chasing off the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}} Next, the Trainbots joined the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] on an emergency rescue mission to [[Peru]], where an active volcano was threatening a small town. They were intercepted by the Predacons, and so Shouki asked [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] to go on ahead and help the villagers while the Trainbots occupied the Preds. Soon, Raiden and Predaking were formed, and the battle was really joined. The Headmasters soon arrived and tagged out the Trainbots, allowing Shouki and his friends to journey to the village and escort the people to safety in their combined train mode. At first, the Trainbots could not get close enough to the village due to the eruption, but eventually they launched themselves into the air and rode the winds down to the town below, gathering up all the innocent villagers. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}} In their next evil scheme, the Decepticons unleashed a giant carnivorous plant in downtown [[San Francisco]], prompting the Autobots to respond. The Trainbots arrived on the scene, but were confronted by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], who wished to duel with sabers made of light. The Trainbots formed Raiden and met Bruticus sword for sword. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}}

[[File:HM8 Trainbots in lounge.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]
On a geological expedition to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] with Danny and Spike, the Trainbots were present when a series of tremors rocked the landscape. Seeking to investigate, the group split up to locate the source of the phenomena. Shouki took Danny and Wheelie with him, and they happened across [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]] and [[Rippersnapper (G1)|Rippersnapper]] of the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. Although they informed Spike of what they had seen, they were then captured by [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]] on sentry duty. After they were rescued by the Headmasters and uncovered the Decepticons' plan to blow up Mars, Shouki and the Trainbots flew back to Athenia in order to take Spike and Danny to safety. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} They were almost immediately called back, however — the Decepticon Headmasters had used [[plasma energy]] to neutralize Fortress Maximus, leaving the Autobots on Mars in desperate need of reinforcements. Raiden was formed as they arrived, and fought against [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and the MegaZarak Transtector, scorpion mode. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}}

The Trainbots served as military transportation for the Autobots when they attacked the Decepticon meeting on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. The strike was foiled by the arrival of Galvatron, and the Autobots fled back to Earth aboard the trains. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}} Shouki and his team were next used for a relief mission. The planet [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]] was in desperate need of energon, and Ultra Magnus coordinated the Autobots of Earth in gathering some of their energon reserves aboard the Trainbots. Shouki worked with Magnus to make sure his soldiers were properly packed with energon. Galvatron and the Decepticons wanted the energy for themselves, however, and interfered with the relief aid. When the firefight started, Ultra Magnus told Shouki to forget about them and get the energon to Sandra. But the Trainbots took off twice for Sandra, and they were twice shot down by the Decepticons before they could leave atmosphere. After being shot out of the air by Sixshot, Shouki bravely challenged the much larger Decepticon to battle. He later joined Magnus and the Technobots in using his large vehicle mode teammates as cover to fire back upon the Decepticons. The Autobots of Earth finally gave up, sending energy reserves from Athenia instead. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

[[File:HM8 Trainbots watching TV.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
The Trainbots also ferried the Witwickys and Headmasters to the mutual benefits talk with Galvatron. When the Autobots learned Galvatron was actually a fake, Shouki and his brother Yukikaze distracted the Decepticons by sumo wrestling each other, giving their comrades a chance to secure the Witwickys safety. {{storylink|Daniel Faces His Biggest Crisis Ever!!}} After the talks failed, the Decepticons fled into space aboard Scorponok, planning to raid other planets in the universe for their energy. The Trainbots were part of a task force Fortress assembled to chase after their nefarious foes. After reaching the [[Twin Star]] planets, the Trainbots ferried [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] down to the barren world of [[Twin Star|Toruin]]. They then transformed into Raiden and flew to the sister planet, [[Twin Star|Sperity]], to battle the Decepticon invaders. {{storylink|Battle for Defense of the False Planet}} On [[Darhos]], the Trainbots transported the rescued prisoners from the northern hemisphere to safety. {{storylink|Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!}} They also appeared on [[Paradise]], escorting [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] on his scouting mission and later flying the Technobots and Monsterbots into battle. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}}

On [[Pirate Planet]], Shouki and Yukikaze helped Highbrow unlock the secret of the [[proton energy]]. They transported him to an abandoned pirate ship in space, where they recovered a signal transmitting skull that served as a key to the pirates' pyramid hiding place. They were almost caught flatfooted by Soundblaster, but Danny Witwicky managed to surprise the Decepticon and give them a chance to escape. At the pyramid, the train brothers reunited with their fellow Trainbots and formed Raiden to keep Galvatron from interfering. {{storylink|Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship}}

After returning to Earth, the Trainbots re-entered Ultra Magnus's command at Autobot City. They were summoned to transport the Technobots to [[Florida|Miami]], where an Autobot energy facility was under attack by the Decepticons. Shouki believed Ultra Magnus should alert Fortress to the attack, but Magnus wanted to handle things on his own without bothering the commander. The conflict escalated, however, as Sixshot and Trypticon besieged Autobot City itself. The Trainbots returned to the city, and Shouki again pleaded for Ultra Magnus to ask for help. Magnus relented this time, and Shouki sent word to Athenia. The Trainbots returned to the battle, assembling as Raiden, but were waylaid by [[Apeface]] and [[Snapdragon (G1)|Snapdragon]], who kept them busy long enough for Sixshot to murder Ultra Magnus on the battlefield. In the aftermath, the Trainbots attended Magnus's funeral. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}}

When Spike and Chromedome needed to get to Earth for the volcano summit, the Trainbots popped over to Athenia to give them a ride. At Autobot City, Shouki and [[Suiken]] heard a commotion outside and investigated, finding Spike injured in a battle between Metroplex and Trypticon. Shouki rushed him back to Athenia for treatment. He then went BACK to Earth to defend the [[Pacific Ring of Fire]] from the Decepticons with the rest of the Trainbots. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}} After the Decepticons seemingly abandoned Earth, the Trainbots assisted Spike in rebuilding the planet after the enemy's departure. On one occasion, they located Sixshot's old command base. By combining into Raiden, the Trainbots helped Defensor and Computron obliterate the base, wiping out all trace of the Decepticons' presence. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

After Wheelie was kidnapped by the Decepticons and ransomed for the secrets of the [[Master Sword]], the Trainbots flew Chromedome and Danny in close to the [[Scorponok (G1)|MegaZarak]] base for a rescue attempt. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Raiden was briefly seen helping to repair the Battleship Maximus after [[Weirdwolf (G1)|Weirdwolf]] detonated some bombs on its hull. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}} When Danny went missing in a space vortex, the Trainbots joined the [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]s in searching for him. {{storylink|My Friend Sixshot!}} They also transported the Headmasters to the [[Pallas]] asteroid in order to battle the Decepticons. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}}

Upon returning to Earth, the Trainbots ferryed Danny and the Headmasters to the Andes Mountains for a rescue mission, after Spike and [[Carly]] crashed their jet in the treacherous terrain. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} As Raiden, the Trainbots participated in the Autobots final battle with Scorponok's Decepticons at the North Pole. They lent their energies to the Headmasters' [[Head Formation]] to revitalize Fortress Maximus at the critical moment. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

Following the expulsion of the Decepticons from Earth after the battle at the North Pole, the Transformers' war shifted into a series of space-based exchanges between Athenia and Chaar known as the [[Master Wars]]. During this time, the Trainbots discovered that Scorponok had constructed a new transtector for himself, and reported the news to [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]]. {{storylink|Master File No, 1}}

The Trainbots were heavily injured fighting the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] in the form of Raiden, leaving them requiring extensive repairs. Blaming himself for their condition, Shouki left the team so that his leadership would never endanger them again. Electing for new stealth upgrades from his creators at Shibuya Manufacturing, {{storylink|Shouki#Generations (Japan)|''Generations'' Shouki bio}} Shouki found himself partnered with his old friend [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] in his new role as an Autobot spy over his strenuous objections for fear of endangering Daniel as well. {{storylink|Train Wars: Shouki & Daniel Chapter}}

As the duo returned from a mission to retrieve stolen data on [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex's]] [[Metrowars|new upgrade]], Shouki was dismayed to find Cybertron under attack by an interdimensional incursion from the [[The Fallen|Fallen.]] {{storylink|Train Wars}}

Just as all seemed lost for the ragtag band of Transformers left to defend Cybertron, Shouki was greeted by Suiken along with the [[Micromaster]] trains [[Desire]] and [[D-Go]]. The other Trainbots had arrived astride Metroplex, bringing with them the [[Sixliner|Liner Team]] and the [[Sixtrain|Train Team]]! Chiding his brother for being as solemn as ever, Yukikaze reminded Shouki the Trainbots would always have his back. With that, on [[Windy (G1)|Windy]]'s count all three teams of train 'bots combined into [[Trainbot Omni-Car Joint|one massive coupling]] to chain the Fallen, giving Shouki and company time to vanquish the dark god by funneling Metroplex's power through Shouki's new "Raiden" cannon mode. The battle over, the Trainbots shared a tender moment as Daniel reminded Shouki they were ''all'' his partners. {{storylink|Train Wars 2}}

Responding to a distress call from their [[Beastformer (species)|Beastformer]] allies on the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]], the Trainbots hurtled through the atmosphere in their separate train modes to deal with the Decepticons menacing the planet. Combining in mid-air, the united team allowed gravity to do the rest of the work as Raiden delivered a shattering "JR Kick" straight to Predaking's face, taking him out of the fight. The day won, [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] directed the Trainbots to shuttle the any of the Beastformers' wounded back to the Autobot base on [[Athenia]] for treatment. {{storylink|The Decisive Battle of Planet Beast!}}

Back on Earth, the Trainbots wowed Daniel with their amphibious talents as they transported him and the Autobot Headmasters on a mission to investigate reports of massive squids attacking the Autobots' undersea bases. The Decepticons were laying in ambush and unleashed the culprit, a giant robot squid! The Trainbots allowed themselves to be entangled by the mechanical mollusk, biding their time until Daniel was safe inside his [[exosuit]] and the Headmasters' remotely piloted [[transtector]]s converged on their location. When the time was right, the Trainbots erupted into their robot modes, catapulting their passengers to safety and shredding several of creatures' tentacles in the process. As the Headmasters did their part by tying the creature into one massive knot, the Trainbots made a show of it by erupting from the ocean as Raiden to swing the swing the automaton architeuthis like a mace, flattening the other Decepticons and ending the aquatic menace. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 3|The Headmasters #3}}

When [[Christmas]] rolled around, The Trainbots got into the spirit of the season when they joined the Autobot Headmasters in handing out gifts at a Japanese children's hospital, even going so far as to procure an enormous Santa hat to don as Raiden and carry a huge sack. The merriment was soon interrupted by the arrival of the Decepticon Headmasters, but rather than join the battle, the Trainbots followed Chromedome's instruction to disengage, decombining and flying the hospital's patients to safety in their respective train modes.{{storylink|The Headmasters issue 6|The Headmasters #6}}

Upon their arrival to [[Athenia]], the [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] set out to make themselves useful by offering their expertise to [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress's]] existing troops. While the Trainbots could assume their train modes in a flash, when it came time to combine into Raiden, the big guy failed to live up to his name. The Trainbots began taking speed transformation lessons from the Autobots' new resident "Speed Coach", [[Pointblank]], to get their super mode formation up to snuff. {{storylink|Transformers: The Headmasters (story page)|''The Headmasters'' story pages}}

[[File:Trainbots Masterforce Delivery.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Come and take a ''Raiden'' the space train!]]

Several years after the Decepticons' expulsion from Earth following the final battle at the North Pole, the Trainbots were dispatched to pick up the new Autobot [[Masterforce (technology)|Masterforce]] that had risen to prominence on Earth, and bring them to [[Athenia]] so Fortress could transfer his position of [[Supreme Commander]] to their leader, [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]]. Naturally, the Decepticons attacked Athenia during Ginrai's stay, and the Trainbots formed Raiden to fight back, only for him to wind up being cut down alongside Chromedome by a powerful blast from the combined Decepticon [[Scramble 7]]. The quick thinking of Ginrai and the other Godmasters managed to repel the Decepticons with a combination attack, and a battered Raiden survived to fight another day. {{storylink|The Battle Begins! The Earth-Space Alliance Army}}

The attack on Athenia had proven that the Decepticons on Earth had joined forces with the Decepticons in space, and so the Autobots elected to do the same to better fight their enemies. Soon after, when the leader of the space-based Decepticon forces, [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]], began heading for Earth, the Trainbots, the Autobot Headmasters and [[Grand Maximus]] gave chase. They were unable to stop him, but luckily, no sooner had he arrived than Ginrai tricked BlackZarak and the Earth Decepticon leader [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] into crashing into each other at speed, smashing each other up but good. Raiden and his allies cheered for Ginrai's success. {{storylink|God Ginrai's Amazing Divine Combination!}}

==Notes==
[[File:Prototype Trainbots Diaclone.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
* The Trainbots had the preliminary name of '''Trailbots''' (トレイルボット ''Toreirubotto''), the first component intended to be a portmanteau of "train" and "rail". The members also had preliminary names of their own, based their original ''Diaclone'' identifications.<ref>''When the Anime/Tokusatsu Hero Was Born'' by [[Keisuke Fujikawa]]</ref>
* The Trainbots' combined train form appears in the [[title sequence]] of the [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon]], but not in the series itself. The series creators seem to have intended to use the Trainbots to transport the cast back and forth to [[Athenia]], more closely tying ''Masterforce'' to the [[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|previous season]], but the idea was quietly dropped. They did, however, appear for that purpose in the [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (manga)|concurrent comic series]].
* [[IDW Publishing]] line-artist [[Andrew Griffith]] wanted to use the Trainbots as background characters in ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]'', and was okayed by writers [[James Roberts]] and [[John Barber]] for the plausibility, but in the end never found the right opportunity to work them in.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Came so close to adding these guys in RID.

* TakaraTomy selected the same scale (HO) for the ''Masterpiece G Series'' as [[Tyco]] did for the [[Electric Train and Battle Set]], rendering the two products released 37 years apart still compatible with each other.

{{factions|autobot}}

:''The Trainbots are an [[Autobot]] [[subgroup]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Trainbots story page.jpg|thumb|right|450px|You may not like it, but this is what [[Transforming Bullet Train Robot Shinkalion|peak performance in the Japanese market]] looks like.]]

The '''Trainbots''' (トレインボット ''Toreinbotto'') are an Autobot subgroup that transform into trains. Having been constructed in [[Japan]], they consider the country to be their homeland, even going so far as to adopt Japanese names, which is unusual for Transformers. Due to this love for their "birthplace", the Trainbots feel especially protective of the country, its people, and its culture.

The Trainbots consist of:

*[[Shouki]] (leader), the brash speedster.
*[[Getsuei]], the sluggish stealth expert.
*[[Kaen]], the hot-running powerhouse.
*[[Seizan]], the rugged mountain-climber.
*[[Suiken]], the brainy strategist.
*[[Yukikaze (G1)|Yukikaze]], the icy cold weather operative.

They combine to form the train super robot, [[Raiden]]. Unsurprisingly for locomotives, they can also combine in vehicle mode to produce a single super space train and frequently act as interstellar transport for their fellow Autobots.

In the most dire of railway-related emergencies they can go even further beyond and combine with their fellow train 'bots in the [[Sixliner|Liner Team]] and the [[Sixtrain|Train Team]] to create the [[Trainbot Omni-Car Joint]], the ultimate expression of Autobot locomotive might.

Shouki and his team were not the first Trainbots, however. Known to only a few beyond their creators and their "older siblings" [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]] and [[Shadow]], the scientific initiative that birthed the Trainbots generated a second, "prototype" team of Trainbots.

They include:

*[[Doctor (G1)|Doctor]] (leader), the smart-mouthed medic.
*[[Silver (G1)|Silver]]
*[[Crystal (G1)|Crystal]]
*[[Thunder (G1)|Thunder]]
*[[Battle]]
*[[Miracle (G1)|Miracle]]

The prototype Trainbots can combine to form [[G Liner]], Raiden's powerful but sluggish predecessor.

There are also lesser-known additions to the Trainbot team, such as:

*[[Ginou]]

The Trainbots were built in the ''Raiden Initiative''. A number of scientists had at least a small part to contribute to their creation, including Drs. [[Doctor Fujiyama the Famous Scientist|Fujiyama]], [[Kenneth Onishi|Ōnishi]], [[Sōji Yoshikawa|Yoshikawa]], [[Chifumi Takahashi|Takahashi]], [[Kaminari Ishihara|Ishihara]], and [[Haruma Gō|Gō]]. As the ''Raiden Initiative'' was handled by [[Shibuya Manufacturing Corporation|Shibuya Manufacturing, Worldwide]] (on behalf of the Japanese government), the project leader was Doctor Yoshikawa. He was responsible for the weapons and communications systems for the team. Doctor Gō was the lead on building their superstructures. Doctor Ishihara created their neural networks and helped specify the parameters of their personality components. Doctor Ōnishi created their power grids. Doctor Fujiyama built their combat protocols. Their Heavy Series-Linkage System, which enabled them to combine, was designed by Doctor Takahashi. {{storylink|Source:Ask Vector Prime/Facebook#September 27, 2015|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/27}}

In 2011, Shouki and the Trainbots were operating on Earth. After [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] invaded Cybertron, the robot trains assembled to transport their fellow Autobots to Cybertron across the [[Space bridge]]. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} The Trainbots formed Raiden and fought alongside [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] against their Decepticon combiner counterparts. They were nearly crushed by falling debris when [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] collapsed a building on them using his [[Sonic stun-gun|sonic stun gun]]. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} The Trainbots returned to Earth just in time to shuttle [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] back to Cybertron, after their successful quest for the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}} The Trainbots also transported Rodimus Prime and the [[Monsterbot (G1)|Monsterbot]]s to planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]] as reinforcements for the Headmasters, {{storylink|Rebellion on Planet Beast}} carried him into battle again on the planet [[Praum]], where [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] had set a trap for Fortress and his team. {{storylink|The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery}}

Back on Earth, Shouki and the Trainbots took Danny and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] on a sightseeing trip in Tokyo, Japan. Shouki was very proud of the country, which was his birthplace on Earth. When [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] declared his intention to steal all of Japan's energy, Shouki and the Trainbots remained quietly alert, confident their combination form could handle any threat to their homeland. Their passive response to the danger angered the more action-oriented Headmaster team, especially [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]. After fruitlessly chasing behind Sixshot in attacks on London and New York, Chromedome was incensed when he arrived back at Autobot headquarters to see Shouki and the Trainbots returning from a shopping spree with Danny. Shouki and Chromedome nearly came to blows with each other before Danny intervened.

[[File:Hm8 Trainbot Express.jpg|thumb|right|300px|With your head held high and your scarlet lies / You came down to me from the open skies]]
When Sixshot finally made his attack on Japan, Shouki demanded that his team be allowed the first strike against their opponent. Flying to the rescue, the Trainbots assembled as Raiden to fight Sixshot. Raiden's victory was prevented by the arrival of [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], piloted by [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. It turned into an all-out brawl after that, with the Headmasters arriving as reinforcements for their comrades. Sixshot was revealed, and he used his ninja training seemingly to duplicate himself, attacking Raiden as several winged wolves. As a demonstration of their newfound trust in each other, Raiden urged Chromedome to shoot at the holographic Sixshots swarming around him, knowing he would certainly be hit by some of the blasts. The Decepticons were eventually driven off and Shouki and Chromedome shook hands back at headquarters, having forged a warrior's bond on the field of battle. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

Galvatron soon struck out against Cybertron again, this time seeking the new super-metal known as [[Cybertonuron]]. The Trainbots were first in line on Earth to transport over the Space Bridge into combat with the Decepticons. They rushed straight into the fighting as soon as they arrived. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} They confronted the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] in defense of their home planet. Shouki clearly told [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] what's what, warning him to leave the planet or suffer the consequences. The battle was fierce but brief, as the Trainbots disabled their opponents. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

The Trainbots defended the [[Sol 1]] satellite during its launch cycle. When Scourge, Cyclonus and the Predacons arrived to steal the satellite, they flew out with the Headmasters to stop them. Shouki gave the command and the Trainbots assembled to form Raiden, grappling with [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] and ultimately chasing off the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}} Next, the Trainbots joined the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] on an emergency rescue mission to [[Peru]], where an active volcano was threatening a small town. They were intercepted by the Predacons, and so Shouki asked [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] to go on ahead and help the villagers while the Trainbots occupied the Preds. Soon, Raiden and Predaking were formed, and the battle was really joined. The Headmasters soon arrived and tagged out the Trainbots, allowing Shouki and his friends to journey to the village and escort the people to safety in their combined train mode. At first, the Trainbots could not get close enough to the village due to the eruption, but eventually they launched themselves into the air and rode the winds down to the town below, gathering up all the innocent villagers. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}} In their next evil scheme, the Decepticons unleashed a giant carnivorous plant in downtown [[San Francisco]], prompting the Autobots to respond. The Trainbots arrived on the scene, but were confronted by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], who wished to duel with sabers made of light. The Trainbots formed Raiden and met Bruticus sword for sword. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}}

[[File:HM8 Trainbots in lounge.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]
On a geological expedition to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] with Danny and Spike, the Trainbots were present when a series of tremors rocked the landscape. Seeking to investigate, the group split up to locate the source of the phenomena. Shouki took Danny and Wheelie with him, and they happened across [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]] and [[Rippersnapper (G1)|Rippersnapper]] of the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. Although they informed Spike of what they had seen, they were then captured by [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]] on sentry duty. After they were rescued by the Headmasters and uncovered the Decepticons' plan to blow up Mars, Shouki and the Trainbots flew back to Athenia in order to take Spike and Danny to safety. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} They were almost immediately called back, however — the Decepticon Headmasters had used [[plasma energy]] to neutralize Fortress Maximus, leaving the Autobots on Mars in desperate need of reinforcements. Raiden was formed as they arrived, and fought against [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and the MegaZarak Transtector, scorpion mode. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}}

The Trainbots served as military transportation for the Autobots when they attacked the Decepticon meeting on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. The strike was foiled by the arrival of Galvatron, and the Autobots fled back to Earth aboard the trains. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}} Shouki and his team were next used for a relief mission. The planet [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]] was in desperate need of energon, and Ultra Magnus coordinated the Autobots of Earth in gathering some of their energon reserves aboard the Trainbots. Shouki worked with Magnus to make sure his soldiers were properly packed with energon. Galvatron and the Decepticons wanted the energy for themselves, however, and interfered with the relief aid. When the firefight started, Ultra Magnus told Shouki to forget about them and get the energon to Sandra. But the Trainbots took off twice for Sandra, and they were twice shot down by the Decepticons before they could leave atmosphere. After being shot out of the air by Sixshot, Shouki bravely challenged the much larger Decepticon to battle. He later joined Magnus and the Technobots in using his large vehicle mode teammates as cover to fire back upon the Decepticons. The Autobots of Earth finally gave up, sending energy reserves from Athenia instead. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

[[File:HM8 Trainbots watching TV.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
The Trainbots also ferried the Witwickys and Headmasters to the mutual benefits talk with Galvatron. When the Autobots learned Galvatron was actually a fake, Shouki and his brother Yukikaze distracted the Decepticons by sumo wrestling each other, giving their comrades a chance to secure the Witwickys safety. {{storylink|Daniel Faces His Biggest Crisis Ever!!}} After the talks failed, the Decepticons fled into space aboard Scorponok, planning to raid other planets in the universe for their energy. The Trainbots were part of a task force Fortress assembled to chase after their nefarious foes. After reaching the [[Twin Star]] planets, the Trainbots ferried [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] down to the barren world of [[Twin Star|Toruin]]. They then transformed into Raiden and flew to the sister planet, [[Twin Star|Sperity]], to battle the Decepticon invaders. {{storylink|Battle for Defense of the False Planet}} On [[Darhos]], the Trainbots transported the rescued prisoners from the northern hemisphere to safety. {{storylink|Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!}} They also appeared on [[Paradise]], escorting [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] on his scouting mission and later flying the Technobots and Monsterbots into battle. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}}

On [[Pirate Planet]], Shouki and Yukikaze helped Highbrow unlock the secret of the [[proton energy]]. They transported him to an abandoned pirate ship in space, where they recovered a signal transmitting skull that served as a key to the pirates' pyramid hiding place. They were almost caught flatfooted by Soundblaster, but Danny Witwicky managed to surprise the Decepticon and give them a chance to escape. At the pyramid, the train brothers reunited with their fellow Trainbots and formed Raiden to keep Galvatron from interfering. {{storylink|Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship}}

[[File:HM23 Trainbots grab skull.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]
After returning to Earth, the Trainbots re-entered Ultra Magnus's command at Autobot City. They were summoned to transport the Technobots to [[Florida|Miami]], where an Autobot energy facility was under attack by the Decepticons. Shouki believed Ultra Magnus should alert Fortress to the attack, but Magnus wanted to handle things on his own without bothering the commander. The conflict escalated, however, as Sixshot and Trypticon besieged Autobot City itself. The Trainbots returned to the city, and Shouki again pleaded for Ultra Magnus to ask for help. Magnus relented this time, and Shouki sent word to Athenia. The Trainbots returned to the battle, assembling as Raiden, but were waylaid by [[Apeface]] and [[Snapdragon (G1)|Snapdragon]], who kept them busy long enough for Sixshot to murder Ultra Magnus on the battlefield. In the aftermath, the Trainbots attended Magnus's funeral. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}}

When Spike and Chromedome needed to get to Earth for the volcano summit, the Trainbots popped over to Athenia to give them a ride. At Autobot City, Shouki and [[Suiken]] heard a commotion outside and investigated, finding Spike injured in a battle between Metroplex and Trypticon. Shouki rushed him back to Athenia for treatment. He then went BACK to Earth to defend the [[Pacific Ring of Fire]] from the Decepticons with the rest of the Trainbots. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}} After the Decepticons seemingly abandoned Earth, the Trainbots assisted Spike in rebuilding the planet after the enemy's departure. On one occasion, they located Sixshot's old command base. By combining into Raiden, the Trainbots helped Defensor and Computron obliterate the base, wiping out all trace of the Decepticons' presence. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

After Wheelie was kidnapped by the Decepticons and ransomed for the secrets of the [[Master Sword]], the Trainbots flew Chromedome and Danny in close to the [[Scorponok (G1)|MegaZarak]] base for a rescue attempt. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Raiden was briefly seen helping to repair the Battleship Maximus after [[Weirdwolf (G1)|Weirdwolf]] detonated some bombs on its hull. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}} When Danny went missing in a space vortex, the Trainbots joined the [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]s in searching for him. {{storylink|My Friend Sixshot!}} They also transported the Headmasters to the [[Pallas]] asteroid in order to battle the Decepticons. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}}

Upon returning to Earth, the Trainbots ferryed Danny and the Headmasters to the Andes Mountains for a rescue mission, after Spike and [[Carly]] crashed their jet in the treacherous terrain. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} As Raiden, the Trainbots participated in the Autobots final battle with Scorponok's Decepticons at the North Pole. They lent their energies to the Headmasters' [[Head Formation]] to revitalize Fortress Maximus at the critical moment. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

Following the expulsion of the Decepticons from Earth after the battle at the North Pole, the Transformers' war shifted into a series of space-based exchanges between Athenia and Chaar known as the [[Master Wars]]. During this time, the Trainbots discovered that Scorponok had constructed a new transtector for himself, and reported the news to [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]]. {{storylink|Master File No, 1}}

The Trainbots were heavily injured fighting the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] in the form of Raiden, leaving them requiring extensive repairs. Blaming himself for their condition, Shouki left the team so that his leadership would never endanger them again. Electing for new stealth upgrades from his creators at Shibuya Manufacturing, {{storylink|Shouki#Generations (Japan)|''Generations'' Shouki bio}} Shouki found himself partnered with his old friend [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] in his new role as an Autobot spy over his strenuous objections for fear of endangering Daniel as well. {{storylink|Train Wars: Shouki & Daniel Chapter}}

As the duo returned from a mission to retrieve stolen data on [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex's]] [[Metrowars|new upgrade]], Shouki was dismayed to find Cybertron under attack by an interdimensional incursion from the [[The Fallen|Fallen.]] {{storylink|Train Wars}}

Just as all seemed lost for the ragtag band of Transformers left to defend Cybertron, Shouki was greeted by Suiken along with the [[Micromaster]] trains [[Desire]] and [[D-Go]]. The other Trainbots had arrived astride Metroplex, bringing with them the [[Sixliner|Liner Team]] and the [[Sixtrain|Train Team]]! Chiding his brother for being as solemn as ever, Yukikaze reminded Shouki the Trainbots would always have his back. With that, on [[Windy (G1)|Windy]]'s count all three teams of train 'bots combined into [[Trainbot Omni-Car Joint|one massive coupling]] to chain the Fallen, giving Shouki and company time to vanquish the dark god by funneling Metroplex's power through Shouki's new "Raiden" cannon mode. The battle over, the Trainbots shared a tender moment as Daniel reminded Shouki they were ''all'' his partners. {{storylink|Train Wars 2}}

Responding to a distress call from their [[Beastformer (species)|Beastformer]] allies on the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]], the Trainbots hurtled through the atmosphere in their separate train modes to deal with the Decepticons menacing the planet. Combining in mid-air, the united team allowed gravity to do the rest of the work as Raiden delivered a shattering "JR Kick" straight to Predaking's face, taking him out of the fight. The day won, [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] directed the Trainbots to shuttle the any of the Beastformers' wounded back to the Autobot base on [[Athenia]] for treatment. {{storylink|The Decisive Battle of Planet Beast!}}

Back on Earth, the Trainbots wowed Daniel with their amphibious talents as they transported him and the Autobot Headmasters on a mission to investigate reports of massive squids attacking the Autobots' undersea bases. The Decepticons were laying in ambush and unleashed the culprit, a giant robot squid! The Trainbots allowed themselves to be entangled by the mechanical mollusk, biding their time until Daniel was safe inside his [[exosuit]] and the Headmasters' remotely piloted [[transtector]]s converged on their location. When the time was right, the Trainbots erupted into their robot modes, catapulting their passengers to safety and shredding several of creatures' tentacles in the process. As the Headmasters did their part by tying the creature into one massive knot, the Trainbots made a show of it by erupting from the ocean as Raiden to swing the swing the automaton architeuthis like a mace, flattening the other Decepticons and ending the aquatic menace. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 3|The Headmasters #3}}

When [[Christmas]] rolled around, The Trainbots got into the spirit of the season when they joined the Autobot Headmasters in handing out gifts at a Japanese children's hospital, even going so far as to procure an enormous Santa hat to don as Raiden and carry a huge sack. The merriment was soon interrupted by the arrival of the Decepticon Headmasters, but rather than join the battle, the Trainbots followed Chromedome's instruction to disengage, decombining and flying the hospital's patients to safety in their respective train modes.{{storylink|The Headmasters issue 6|The Headmasters #6}}

Upon their arrival to [[Athenia]], the [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] set out to make themselves useful by offering their expertise to [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress's]] existing troops. While the Trainbots could assume their train modes in a flash, when it came time to combine into Raiden, the big guy failed to live up to his name. The Trainbots began taking speed transformation lessons from the Autobots' new resident "Speed Coach", [[Pointblank]], to get their super mode formation up to snuff. {{storylink|Transformers: The Headmasters (story page)|''The Headmasters'' story pages}}

[[File:Trainbots Masterforce Delivery.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Come and take a ''Raiden'' the space train!]]

Several years after the Decepticons' expulsion from Earth following the final battle at the North Pole, the Trainbots were dispatched to pick up the new Autobot [[Masterforce (technology)|Masterforce]] that had risen to prominence on Earth, and bring them to [[Athenia]] so Fortress could transfer his position of [[Supreme Commander]] to their leader, [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]]. Naturally, the Decepticons attacked Athenia during Ginrai's stay, and the Trainbots formed Raiden to fight back, only for him to wind up being cut down alongside Chromedome by a powerful blast from the combined Decepticon [[Scramble 7]]. The quick thinking of Ginrai and the other Godmasters managed to repel the Decepticons with a combination attack, and a battered Raiden survived to fight another day. {{storylink|The Battle Begins! The Earth-Space Alliance Army}}

The attack on Athenia had proven that the Decepticons on Earth had joined forces with the Decepticons in space, and so the Autobots elected to do the same to better fight their enemies. Soon after, when the leader of the space-based Decepticon forces, [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]], began heading for Earth, the Trainbots, the Autobot Headmasters and [[Grand Maximus]] gave chase. They were unable to stop him, but luckily, no sooner had he arrived than Ginrai tricked BlackZarak and the Earth Decepticon leader [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] into crashing into each other at speed, smashing each other up but good. Raiden and his allies cheered for Ginrai's success. {{storylink|God Ginrai's Amazing Divine Combination!}}

==Notes==
[[File:Prototype Trainbots Diaclone.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
* The Trainbots had the preliminary name of '''Trailbots''' (トレイルボット ''Toreirubotto''), the first component intended to be a portmanteau of "train" and "rail". The members also had preliminary names of their own, based their original ''Diaclone'' identifications.<ref>''When the Anime/Tokusatsu Hero Was Born'' by [[Keisuke Fujikawa]]</ref>
* The Trainbots' combined train form appears in the [[title sequence]] of the [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon]], but not in the series itself. The series creators seem to have intended to use the Trainbots to transport the cast back and forth to [[Athenia]], more closely tying ''Masterforce'' to the [[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|previous season]], but the idea was quietly dropped. They did, however, appear for that purpose in the [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (manga)|concurrent comic series]].
* [[IDW Publishing]] line-artist [[Andrew Griffith]] wanted to use the Trainbots as background characters in ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]'', and was okayed by writers [[James Roberts]] and [[John Barber]] for the plausibility, but in the end never found the right opportunity to work them in.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Came so close to adding these guys in RID. Checked with James and he wasn't using them and John said it was OK just never had the right time to work them in.|link=https://twitter.com/glovestudios/status/1393243365446201345|name=Andrew Griffith|site=Twitter|year=2021|month=05|day=14|(defunct=)}}</ref>
* TakaraTomy selected the same scale (HO) for the ''Masterpiece G Series'' as [[Tyco]] did for the [[Electric Train and Battle Set]], rendering the two products released 37 years apart still compatible with each other.
* Doctor and the other prototype Trainbots are based on a rare set of "special edition" alternate decoes of the original ''[[Diaclone]]'' Trainbots.

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie continuity family]].''

[[File:Arceemovie.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|She's got legs, she knows how to use them. Temporarily, anyway.]]
Originally a member of the Autobots' science team, '''Arcee''' never stood out as being the "soldier" type until the war broke out. Though small compared to many of her peers and adversaries, she compensates with speed and aggressive maneuvers. Quickly developing hunter skills to be reckoned with, Arcee became one of the most dangerous Autobots around.<ref>''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'' trade paperback bonus material</ref> She is a crack shot with her crossbow weapon, and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] has trained her to use her speed to her advantage in battle, striking suddenly and swiftly and then vanishing away again as fast as she appeared.

The events at [[Tyger Pax]] created a nagging doubt in Arcee about her abilities. She carries some guilt about [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s injuries, and part of what drives her is the desire to prove herself, not only in the optics of her friends, comrades, and even her sisters [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]], but most importantly in her own.

For a time, Arcee used experimental technology that allowed her mind to control ''three'' bodies at once! When two of these bodies were destroyed, she stayed out of sight to adjust to the return to single-body status.<ref>Hasbro's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/characters/arcee Vector Sigma: Arcee profile]</ref>

Arcee was held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, Arcee pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in her way, but ultimately, none of her three components were able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and he quickly put the Decepticon down.

While not on missions, Arcee was parked with the other Autobots in their hangar at [[Diego Garcia]]. It was here that the Autobots received word from the [[President of the United States]], via [[Theodore Galloway|Director Galloway]], that the White House was concerned that the Autobots' living on Earth was the reason for the Decepticon activity, and that if need be, they would ask the Autobots to leave. Later, after Optimus Prime died in battle and [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia.
[[File:ROTF Arcee shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Michael Bay displays his usual attitude towards women.]]
NEST had a different idea, and instead shipped Arcee and the other Autobots to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, Sam and Mikaela attempted to make their way through the bombed-out Egyptian town that had become the battlefield. Arcee arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to escort them through the warzone, but unfortunately, two of her bodies were shot down by enemy forces, with only the blue component remaining operational when last seen. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Arcee was among the Autobots fending off a wave of Decepticon forces led by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], where Arcee tried to contact the capital of the last remaining Autobot city for reinforcements only to fail in establishing a connection. She was eventually ordered to retreat by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

Arcee was among the crew of Autobots that had become stranded on Earth after arriving in 1987. Seven years later in 1994, she and the others were in [[New York City]] when Optimus witnessed the activation of the transwarp key. The Autobots regrouped in a warehouse to find [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]] had taken in a stowaway, [[Noah Díaz]], who Arcee researched and discovered his past as a soldier. Arcee confirmed the existence of the transwarp key in the museum on Ellis Island, and the group realized they could use it to return to Cybertron. Arcee pointed out they couldn't take the key themselves without evading detection, but Mirage convinced Noah to steal the key for them, despite the group's misgivings. Arcee helped stakeout the museum during Noah's infiltration, only for the Terrorcons to arrive in force. Arcee was knocked out of the fight by the burly [[Battletrap (ROTB)|Battletrap]], and the group lost Bumblebee to [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge's]] blade. The group was saved by the timely arrival of Airazor, who explained Scourge had only taken half of the key, and Arcee convinced [[Elena Wallace]] to help lead them to the remaining half in Peru after encouraging her with the knowledge she'd be saving two worlds in the process.

On the flight to Peru aboard [[Stratosphere]], Arcee wondered if the slain Bumblebee could be revived with an Energon treatment, but Optimus lamented that they likely couldn't without returning to Cybertron. The group linked up with Wheeljack and Arcee rode inside his vehicle mode as they took positions keeping watch while Noah and Elena hunted for the key. The Terrorcons arrived and engaged the Autobots in battle. While Wheeljack drove, Arcee provided some firepower in her robot mode, but once again Battletrap took her and Wheeljack out of the fight by making them tumble down a mountainside in the ensuing car chase. Arcee regrouped with the others when they confronted the Maximals, aiming at [[Cheetor (ROTB)|Cheetor]] until Airazor defused the stand-off. When Scourge obtained the complete key and began to bring [[Unicron]] to Earth, Arcee took part in the battle against the Terrorcons and their Predacon reinforcements. Though Arcee's speed and blasters served her well, things looked grim when Unicron appeared in the sky and the Autobot-Maximal alliance began to be submerged by the sheer numbers of their enemy. Arcee was aghast when Optimus declared his intention to sacrifice himself to destroy the portal bringing forth Unicron, but luckily, Noah and [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]] saved Optimus and the day from the Chaos Bringer.

[[File:Foudnation2 ArceeChromiaElita.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Arcee lived in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] with her sister Chromia, while their eldest sibling, Elita-One, became a follower of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Following Sentinel's successful unification of the warring tribes of Cybertron, Arcee and Chromia came to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to hear his speech for the future. It was announced that the planet would be governed by a [[Science Division]] headed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and a [[Defense Force]] led by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]; while Chromia elected to join the latter, Arcee, intrigued at the prospect of investigating the legacy of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], signed up with Optimus's team. The Science Division began an archaeological excavation of the area around [[Simfur]], uncovering a strange object that they believed to be connected to the Dynasty. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

[[File:Defiance1 Arcee vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"I transform into a vacuum cleaner!"]]

Some time later, while Optimus was showing Megatron around their work, Arcee's team discovered a mysterious relic with a [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] etched into it. She led her superiors to the ancient relic and watched as Megatron and Optimus began to argue when the former demanded the relic be relocated to his private quarters, with Optimus relenting due to a sudden alien attack. Arcee assisted with its evacuation from the dig site. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

After the attack, Arcee tried to save the life of one of the aliens, but was unsuccessful. She and [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] moved the bodies to [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s lab, where they discovered that the beings were similar in structure to the Cybertronians, only lacking the ability to [[transformation|transform]]. Before they could speculate further about the common ancestry of the two races, [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]] arrived with orders from Optimus to assemble at the Simfur excavation site for a meeting. There, Arcee and the other scientists learned of Protector Megatron's demand for war and Optimus's thoughts on the issue. After most of the scientists agreed to follow Optimus, they travelled to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to watch Megatron deliver his saber-rattling war rally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

[[File:Foundation4Arceechromiaknockeoutbymegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|That's not how you treat 2 ladies, Megatron.]]

Ratchet, Arcee and Elita-One returned to the lab to analyze the other relic fragments recovered from the Simfur excavation, while Optimus, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] broke into Megatron's quarters to examine the intact relic. Before Optimus could explain to Ratchet the strange condition of the artifact, Arcee reported finding a symbol that appeared in the same place on all the different fragments: the same symbol that was on Optimus's head. Ratchet theorised that the legend of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] was true, and that Optimus was somehow connected to all of this. Later, at the dig site near [[Burthov]], Arcee, Ratchet and Optimus were arrested by Prowl's security forces on orders from Megatron for treason. What they didn't know was they were all being led into a trap, and the assassins Megatron sent would only take Optimus alive. After [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]'s initial attack, Optimus ordered the group to escape to Burthov while he took care of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and his soldiers. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}{{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

Arcee was part of the team who captured the disenchanted soldier [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and brought him before Optimus Prime. Ironhide pledged allegiance to Prime and brought news of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', a massive starship that Megatron was building. While observing its construction and taking images of the ship, Arcee remarked that she had never seen its like before. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} From [[Tyger Pax]], she witnessed the departure of the ''Nemesis'' with the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

[[File:MoviePrequel1 Arcee Bumblebee.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"Can I say something?" "Whatever it is, now is not the right time!"]]

During the subsequent civil war, Arcee defended civilians who were being targeted by Megatron's Decepticons for refusing to join in the war against Optimus Prime's Autobots. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As the war raged on, Sentinel invented a "[[pillar|torch]]" that he promised would end the war, which required the [[AllSpark]] to be activated. Arcee and Chromia flanked Ironhide at the lead of the assault on Simfur Temple. As the battle raged, Arcee and Chromia were swatted aside by Megatron, but Optimus attacked, allowing Elita to activate the torch and deliver it to Sentinel. Sentinel arrived in the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], but Starscream blew up the ship. Ironhide picked up Arcee and Chromia as the Autobots retreated. However, the assault had weakened Decepticon morale and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] commanded another [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]] for Arcee and Chromia to steal the AllSpark itself! {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Later, Arcee fought the Decepticons during an attempt to reclaim the Cube at Tyger Pax. However, Arcee and the rest of those under Bumblebee's command didn't know the true purpose of their battle: they were a diversion to keep Megatron busy while other Autobots readied the AllSpark for launch from Cybertron. She was captured and interrogated by the Decepticons but survived the ordeal. She recounted to their Autobot rescuers Bumblebee's heroics in delaying Megatron, which prevented the Decepticon from intercepting the wormhole-bound AllSpark. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

[[File:ReignofStarscream4 Arcee.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb]]

Following the Autobots' victory in Mission City, which culminated in the death of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the destruction of the AllSpark on [[Earth]], Arcee was in command of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] and led [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] and others in an attack on [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's ship]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} While her team made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones the Decepticons sent against them, Arcee killed the Decepticon sniper [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] before he could take out [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. Her teammates were unprepared for the arrival of [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], however, and he quickly slew [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] and wounded [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]]. Remembering her failure at Tyger Pax, Arcee leapt into action, and soon she and Cliffjumper had Thundercracker at their mercy. The arrival of Starscream changed that, as he killed Smokescreen and Air Raid and badly damaged Cliffjumper. As she attempted to pull the last surviving member of her team to safety, Arcee was kicked aside by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

However, Arcee recovered an instant later. The Decepticon starship was already taking off, but she jumped and grabbed onto a piece of landing gear, holding on tight... through the [[space bridge]]. Wow. Later, she made her way back to an Autobot facility, where she unexpectedly met Clocker and [[Crosshairs (Movie)|Crosshairs]]. Along with a large force of Autobots, the three moved in on the Simfur temple, where Starscream was using captured Autobots for a strange project of his. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

She split her troops into two forces: One would attack the city of Trypticon as a diversion, while the other moved in on Simfur. Arcee and her team could only watch helplessly as Starscream drained the life out of the Autobot prisoners strapped onto the [[replica AllSpark]], despite her sister Elita-One's pleas for mercy. An opportunity to cause havoc presented itself when [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]'s forces attempted a coup. Arcee lined up her sights on the generator holding the life energy of the deceased prisoners, dedicated the shot to Elita, and destroyed it, annihilating the Cube and sending the Decepticons into disarray. Arcee's team fought their way through the disorganised Decepticons, linked up with [[Wingblade]]'s team, and rolled out just as the crippled starship came crashing down on the city. With the destruction of the capitol and the defeat of a significant portion of the Decepticon drone army, Arcee considered this to be the turning point of the war, but as long as Starscream was alive, he was a threat that she had to track down. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-Arceeprotoforms.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|The best part of waking up is ... still being in your own body.]]

Some time later, a ship carrying Arcee and her crew was shot down over an unidentified planet, and when Arcee managed to escape the wreckage, she saw that the culprit was her old nemesis, Thundercracker. She blacked out, and an indeterminate amount of time later, she awoke on an operating table—or rather, next to her old body on an operating table. Her [[spark]] had been transplanted into a new body by the Decepticon mad scientist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], as part of a twisted plan to create a new breed of tripartate soldier by using her spark to reignite those of her deceased sisters, Elita-One and Chromia. Flatline had not considered Arcee's strong will, however, and her original programming persisted. She broke free and escaped with two of Flatline's other experiment victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], but was surprised to learn that Flatline's experiment had worked: her sisters lived again in two bodies similar to her own new form, but now, they were connected at the spark, sharing the thoughts, feelings and memories of one another, thinking with one mind yet still retaining a degree of autonomy and recollection of their previous selves. [[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|WASSSS A MAAANNN (now three man)]] The united sisters defeated Flatline, and with the Twins, headed for the exit, but Thundercracker and some Decepticon drones blocked them. Thundercracker laughed, since Arcee hadn't fared too well the last time they tangled, but... that was then. Thundercracker was easily bested by the new and improved Arcee, and escaped while Flatline's headquarters detonated by remote. Arcee wondered whether her weird new existence was a mistake, or if she was merely destined for greater things. Regardless, she refused to become bent on revenge against Thundercracker for the deaths of her crew, so she and the Twins made plans to join the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, Arcee and her sisters, along with [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wreckers]] ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While the ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]]) {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}{{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:ArceeROTFIDWCombo.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|Remember what [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] did with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and the [[Duocon]]s?]]
Arcee participated in the [[Shanghai]] battle. When [[Twins (ROTF)|the Twins]] botched their chase of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], the Arcee motorcycles gave chase before [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] finished the job. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 1|Revenge of the Fallen #1}} When the Autobots were on the move to the US East Coast investigating on multiple detected Decepticon contacts, at least one of the Arcee bikes was seen alongside [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Later, while Optimus was fighting [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] in the forest, at least two Arcee bikes were approaching the battle site alongside [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. An Arcee robot was also seen with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and Ironhide when the latter was firing at Starscream and Megatron who were fleeing from the site. The Arcee robot was the first one to notice Optimus Prime's severe damage before Ratchet pronounced him "nearly gone". {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 2|Revenge of the Fallen #2}} All three Arcee robots were with the other Autobots when they were facing the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] in the desert of Egypt. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

[[File:TFSpaceCase-SpaceCasehitsArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
Sometime later after [[Operation: Firestorm]], Arcee joined Bumblebee and Sam for a picnic, which was cut short when they went to investigate an energy signal that had appeared after an earthquake. The trio proceeded deep underground and, just as Arcee was admonishing Sam to be careful, Space Case ambushed them. Despite their numeric superiority, the Autobots had trouble with their enemy because they were afraid firing weapons might cause their unstable surroundings to collapse. Space Case, angry at what he perceived as persecution from the Autobots, activated his plasma afterburners and rocketed out of the cave, triggering the feared cave-in and burying Sam and the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Space Case}} Arcee managed to send out a distress signal, to which Ratchet responded. The medic fended off Space Case and managed to free Arcee from a pile of rubble, allowing her to go after Space Case a fleeing Space Case. {{storylink|Transformers: Ratchet}} The chase took them towards a densely populated city. Despite Space Case's engine damage, he still had a significant speed advantage over Arcee. As she paused to consider her options, she received a holographic communication from Ratchet. The Autobot medic reported that Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee had survived their encounter with Space Case with no serious injuries, and suggested that Arcee meet back up with them. Arcee cut him off abruptly, inwardly observing that while Ratchet thought she continued to chase Space Case out of a misplaced sense of pride, that's not really what she was doing at all. Arcee then caught up with Space Case. Panicking, Space Case threw Arcee through a storefront and took to the air in another attempt to escape. Arcee, determined not to let anything keep her down, sped after Space Case, used a building to ramp up to his altitude, and destroyed his other engine. Space Case went plummeting into the distance, headed for the waterfront. As he vanished from sight, he promised to be back. Arcee knew she'd be ready for his eventual return. {{storylink|Transformers: Arcee}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ArceeInjured.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, Arcee and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's incredulity about the Autobots "sending their women" to do their fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The battle aggravated the wounds Arcee had taken in Egypt the previous year, however, and she was brought back to Diego Garcia for medical attention courtesy of Ratchet. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

After Sam Witwicky contacted Optimus Prime as Philadelphia was being attacked by Decepticons, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left out of the fight due to Arcee's wounds. Arcee wanted to go despite Chromia's attempt to let her stay behind while her two sisters went. In the end, Optimus decided to allow her to go with Chromia and Elita-1. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

[[File:RisingStorm 3 Arcee, Ravage and Ratbat.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Ravage and Ratbat teach you how to get dates]]

She and her sisters went to New York thinking they would get information on Starscream selling his weapons to humans, but instead they found Astrotrain and a monster. And they also found out that Shockwave was on earth, so they tried to inform Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communication and sent his minions after the girls. Arcee and Chromia told Elita-1 to find Optimus. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

As Ravage was attacking her. Arcee began to feel the pain of her wounds (and Chromia began to feel them too), later Elita-1 died and Arcee and Chromia felt her death. Despite Arcee's attempts to stop her, Chromia activated some bombs they brought with them (which possibly killed Soundwave's minions). Arcee and Chromia survived the explosion. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Originally, Arcee didn't serve either faction, working alone to solve injustices in her own way. [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] personally decided to make an example of her, and only an Autobot extraction team led by [[Kup (Movie)|Kup]] saved her life. This debt saw her join the Autobots. She's chimerical in nature and is constantly changing her [[Alternate mode|altmode]] in an effort to go as fast as possible (maybe that's why her [[robot mode]] always looks different!). She [[Arcee (G1)|previously had a hover-car form]], but on Earth takes a modified bike mode.

During the AllSpark launch, she led the six-bot team that drew Megatron's attention to Tyger Pax. And Optimus only told ''Bumblebee'' that's what their mission was! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|#2's reprint of Movie Prelude}}

[[File:Titan5 Sidewayssideswipes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|I'm such good friends that I all dress alike!]]

Arcee had been on Earth for some time before [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] arrived. When using all three of her bodies, she refers to her collective self as "we". Back then, she was keeping her pink paint job!

She went on to assist Optimus Prime in a [[NEST]] mission in [[Australia]], and so was in a perfect position to capture the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Pursuing him in bike(s) mode, she found it near impossible to blow out his tyres and kept getting sideswiped by him during the pursuit. When a stunned Optimus ordered her to stay on the Decepticon's tail, she responded that the Decepticon's alt mode was far better suited for the terrain... inspiring Optimus to ''blow up'' that terrain.
[[File:Titan2-8 dronesurrender.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Geez, this just getting ''confusing''.]]
With Sideways stunned and taking robot form, Arcee sent one bike in to take him down but almost got hit before human military helicopters arrived to back her up. The mission over, she and Optimus took their prisoner back to [[Diego Garcia]], with Arcee escorting him to a cell. But surprise, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] was waiting to free him! She was quickly stunned and unable to stop the Decepticons escaping. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

She later decided it'd be fun to switch back to her older, single-form body! Her old body got a good workout when she was part of the strike team on the Decepticon's [[Mars (planet)|Phobos]] base. After a brief but violent battle, the [[Purple generic drone|drone hordes]] surrendered to her and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

[[File:Titan13 Arcee.jpg|thumb|"I don't ''want'' to look retro!!"]]
In an [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma|alternate timeline]] where the Decepticons won the battle of [[Mission City]], Arcee was a member of a small group of reinforcements summoned to Earth by the remaining Autobots on the planet. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to await contact from Earth, they were attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], but the quick-thinking Arcee took command and rallied the troops.

Arcee was left bewildered by the idea that Humanity would not trust and love the Autobots, and Optimus explained to her that, from a human point of view, all the Transformers are alien horrors fighting on their planet. Following this, she guarded the [[Savannah]], [[Georgia]] shelter and was caught in an ambush staged by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

Following the Decepticon re-conquest of Savannah, Arcee was part of the raid to rescue [[Mikaela Banes]]. She got off one bit of bravado about how hitting things was her kind of shindig before [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] hit ''her''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

When the Autobots launched their final strike, Arcee was part of the spearhead team hitting the [[Decepticon Heartland]].

Arcee was well trained by Ironhide, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots. She believes without question that the Decepticons must be stopped at all costs. {{storylink|#Scout Class toys|Arcee (Scout)}}

Arcee honed her speed by hunting [[turbofox]]es with other speedsters, challenging herself to get as close as possible before tagging them with her bow. Arriving on [[Earth]] at some point in the early 21st Century, she would spend her days stalking unsuspecting Decepticons until she drew them close enough to strike. {{storylink|#2007dlx|Arcee (Movie Deluxe)}} However, when the situation on Earth began to ramp up into out-and-out combat, Arcee was reassigned to the [[Charii system]].

: Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]], replacing her pinks and most of her whites and blacks with blue, and her translucent red with smoky brown plastic. She transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle. Unusually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do. Instead, her Energon Bow mounts on a peg on either arm, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey "arrow" missile.

:Arcee (and the rest of the Scout wave) were [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores, where they were all part of a [[Robo-Vision]] promotion. Arcee came with a Robo-Vision Decoder which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code ("BULLSEYE") printed on her cardback. Starting [[June 2]], 2007, Target's website allowed users to input those codes to access exclusive content, a concept similar to the online [[Cyber Planet Key]] info from the [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]].

:This toy was also sold as a Farmers exclusive in [[New Zealand]], and was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]'s Cybertronian form in the [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] movie comics.

:This mold was also used to make ''Superlink'' Ariel Paradron Type, as well as the [[BotCon 2005]] "[[Descent into Evil]]" set's [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]], [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]], and the fellow Target-exclusive [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|movieverse]] [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], which was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Arcee (SG)|Arcee]].

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Arcee has references [[tampograph]]ed on her [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], such as her motorcycle's fictional model name, "RC 1100" (Get it? "RC" as in "Arcee"), and her [[Massachusetts]] [[license plate]] marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.

: Arcee's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted, which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm in [[robot mode]] is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.

: Undocumented in the instructions, the two shoulder-mounted half-wheels contain a small niche on the edge of the tires. By folding the wheels down with the hubcaps pointing towards the chest and turning the tires towards the shoulders, one can feel the wheels gently click into place via the tire niches and hidden tabs in the shoulders, allowing the wheels to remain in place and more closely resemble the figure as pictured on its packaging. Probably coincidentally, Arcee is almost perfectly scaled to 3.75 inch figures like Hasbro's own ''G.I. Joe'', though this would put her vehicle mode more in line with the size of the larger Kawasaki Ninja than the Firebolt.

: As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike; unfortunately, it's mounted so low that she will fall in the opposite direction if it is fully extended.

:Legends Arcee is a pink and black motorcycle that transforms into a pink and black robot. Black chunks are strategically placed on her two wheels so she can stand up in robot mode. There's an odd jointed piece above her rear wheel that has a [[Powerlinx]]-like [[5 mm post|hardpoint]] and a peg hole on the other side; since the entire piece serves no function, it may have been designed with a combined form similar to the Deluxes in mind.

:*''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-11'''
:*''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cycle cannons

:[[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] converts from an unlicensed approximation of a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} to a robot with a unicycle for legs. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicycle-bot one of the more stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. There is also a piece on the bottom of the vehicle mode (or back of the robot mode) that folds out, but there is no indication in the instructions as to what this piece is for. However, the piece can slide into a similar piece in the later Arcee toy, starting the supposed combined mode.

:While the instructions depict the motorcycle seat remaining flat so that it ends up covering the bottom wheel, the robot mode more closely resembles the movie design if the seat is folded in and locked into a slot on the motorcycle's bottom, as shown on the back of the packaging. The packaging photo also shows Chromia's front wheel resting behind the robot's shoulders, while the instructions leave it above her head. Furthermore, while it is not mentioned either in the instructions or shown on the box, the stand can be attached backwards and rotated with the guns facing up so that it acts as a prop for the toy, allowing the wheel to actually touch the ground, and letting the toy look from the front like it is unsupported. In addition, the stand can also be attached to right arm as an inordinately large handgun by sliding the two pegs inside the gun into two slots on the inside of the arm.

:The stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it.

:Though the instructions do not explain it, the back of the blister card mentions she has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in her left arm. While it isn't quite the "spinning gears" the card refers to, swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun.

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

:Deluxe class ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Arcee converts from an unlicensed {{w|Ducati 848}} to a robot mode that can look quite awkward if not properly aligned. The figure has a sidecar which can become a Dual Sniper Pistol<ref name="battlebio"/> or a display stand. In robot mode, she is equipped with a small cannon on her right wrist that can deploy a spring-loaded energy blade. Small [[Cyberglyphics]] inscriptions are molded onto the surface of the blade.

:Her [[Mech Alive]] feature is located not in her elbow, as the packaging would suggest, but instead in her chest; tilting her neck up and down causes a pair of exposed gears to turn.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cyber Pursuit Arcee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2010)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories:'' Exhaust pipes/missile

:A simplified version of her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy, [[Fast Action Battlers]] Arcee is targeted at the age 5 and under demographic, being a simplified version of her Deluxe-Class toy and having more limited articulation (that's better than most Fast Action Battlers toys). This version does away with the sidecar/stand in favor of a built-in, fully retractable stand, as well as featuring a kickstand and free spinning wheels. Her main gimmick is the ability to fire her dual exhaust pipes as a single missile in both robot and vehicle mode. She features fully working suspension, but due to the transformation locking both wheels in place, it is not available in vehicle mode.

:Despite being intended for a sub-line that focuses on fast and fairly easy transformations, the design of the shoulder joints and the nature of the transformation can make transforming from robot to vehicle mode frustrating. Ironic.

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

: Coming with [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mikaela Banes]], ''[[Human Alliance]]'' Arcee is a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. As with the other Human Alliance vehicles, Mikaela can ride her in her vehicle mode.

: This figure, which is somewhere in between [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends]] and [[size class|Scout Class]] size, has a motorcycle mode that is slightly similar to Arcee's Ducati 848, with some elements resembling the Aprilia RS125 Mikaela is riding at one point in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|movie]], and some elements entirely made up. The robot mode, meanwhile, is clearly that of the blue motorcycle, [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]. Hasbro explained in their monthly Q&A that it ''is'' meant to resemble Mikaela's bike, and they called it "Arcee" so kids wouldn't be confused by two separate red/pink bikes.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65426 Hasbro December 09 Q&A, AllSpark]</ref> Also, the face, which is mostly unpainted save for a few small details, doesn't resemble ROTF Arcee's movie design at all. In fact, the head design bears some resemblance to [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]].

: Despite being larger than a Legends Class figure, Arcee features less [[articulation]] than most of them. While her right elbow features a swivel joint, the left arm is sculpted in one piece, and the elbow fixed in a permanent position.

: This mold was later redecoed into ''Dark of the Moon'' Human Alliance [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]].

:*''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

: Coming with [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and [[Seymour Simmons]], Human Alliance Chromia is, you guessed it, a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. Simmons can ride her in her vehicle mode as well.

: Aside from the colour scheme, this "Chromia" is clearly meant to be Arcee as it has the main component's robot mode, and its vehicle mode is closer to Arcee's than either the motorcycle included with Human Alliance Skids or the Deluxe Chromia. Its higher level of movie-accuracy includes a much more accurate head sculpt, and although its left arm is also cast in one piece, the extra articulation in the shoulders, waist and hips makes the figure more posable than the other HA motorcycle.

: The transformation is surprisingly complex and fiddly for a figure this size, which is basically a non-autotransforming version of the larger FAB. In robot mode the figure has a piece than the wheels can stand on to support them, or be rotated behind to prop the figure up with some care. The kickstand is too short to hold the bike upright in vehicle mode, although this is easily fixed by gluing a small piece of black plastic to its base to lengthen it. She suffers from balance issues in robot mode as well, since her robot-mode stand ends up placed more towards her left side instead of at the center, meaning she tends to fall to her right side often.

: She also comes packaged incompletely transformed, with her (difficult to open) right hand left untransformed as the motorbike's seat. Good luck getting ''that'' out.

:Elita-1 is a black, white and metallic pink [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank threads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her license plate has ''3L 174'' written on it as an stylish way of spelling her own name. [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Arcee is a Legion Class-sized mold accurate to her appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', transforming into a pink approximation of a Ducati 848 sportbike unlike her previous toys, which were generally colored bright red. She comes packaged with [[Chromia (ROTF)#Studio Series|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)#Studio Series|Elita-1]] in a three-pack priced at the standard Deluxe Class price value, making the trio the smallest transforming figures in the ''Studio Series'' line to date. The set includes three unique stands for each sister's bottom wheels, helping them stay upright, and a cardboard backdrop display of their pursuit of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] through Shanghai's streets.

:Though not included in the toys' instructions, the three sisters can combine into a kind of motorcycle-centaur form, as originally proposed for (but cut from) the movie (see "[[#Notes|Notes]]," below). The combined form is assembled using special tabs on Elita-1 and Chromia's stands to link the figures together, and its appearance is completed with three accessories: a pink cannon, a blue sword, and a blue shoulder pad, which all attach to Arcee. Arcee can also wear the parts while in her individual robot mode (as can Chromia), but neither they nor the sisters' stands store anywhere in vehicle mode.

The tabs on her thrusters can also be used, but doing so will leave her hands ''very'' exposed. The heels can fold down to become wheels for Arcee to skate on in robot mode. There are molded gaps in the front wheels that are meant to line up with other parts of her feet; forgetting about them means the feet will not collapse all the way.

:Oddly, Arcee has no blue paint for her optics, giving her a very dead-eyed look. On some copies, it can be difficult to keep her neck tabbed into the front of her torso.

:Like all other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop. As with most ''Bumblebee'' ''Studio Series'' figures, this backdrop depicts a war-torn Cybertron as it appears in the beginning of the film.

:Arcee was officially revealed during the [[December 3]], [[2021]], ''Transformers'' team roundtable with fans.

:This figure was retooled to make ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' [[Javelin]].

:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Core Class figures, Arcee is based on her appearance in ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]'' and transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a {{w|Ducati 916}} motorcycle in 11 steps. Her small size is to scale with other characters from the movie. She comes with her blaster, which stores underneath the motorcycle to form a kickstand. Like her ''Bumblebee'' toy above, the wheels on her legs can be flipped down as roller skates.

:Her front wheel is on detachable 3mm peg, and comes as such in the box. It can be removed and wielded in her hands or just to clean up her back. The rest of her back kibble can also be removed if so desired, due to it using a friction hinge.

:Her head has sculpted in pigtails, accurate to her CG model

:The stock photo of her motorcycle mode is badly mistransformed, neglecting to transform the rear entirely. According to Sam Smith, this Arcee's face is pink and her wheels are on her legs based on an earlier version of the movie design.

:Notably, Arcee is packaged with her waist swiveled so that her legs are facing to her left, due to the size of the wheels on the back of her legs.

:Arcee and her wavemate [[Freezer]] were first revealed via [[Amazon (website)|Amazon Australia]] listings, days before their official reveal by Hasbro on [[January 10]], 2023.

==Notes==
[[File:Movie scale chart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|In the time before time...]]
===Single Arcee===
*Arcee was originally going to be a member of the live-action movie's Autobot cast, but was later replaced by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. According to screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]], they would have needed to explain the point behind female robots, which there wasn't any time for in the movie.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2007/07/02/exclusive-interview-robert-orci?page=3 Roberto Orci explaining the reasons for Arcee's removal from the script in an interview with IGN.]</ref> Oddly enough, there was no attempt to do so when she debuted in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. By the time of ''Bumblebee'' and ''Rise of the Beasts'', no comment is made on her gender either, the concept of [[Female Transformer|female Transformers]] having long since become a common, accepted part of the franchise; as well as the film industry and general audience now being open to virtually any concept put to film compared to the movie landscape of 2007.
*In another interview, Alex Kurtzman cited "scale issues" as an additional reason for dropping Arcee; allegedly, Michael Bay simply considered her too small as compared to the rest of the Autobots.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070714214451/http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies/transformersmovie/005082421.cfm?page=1 Wizard interview with Kurtzman and Orci]</ref> The Arcee that appears in ''Rise of the Beasts'' is almost as small as she was planned to be in the 2007 film, but she isn't completely dwarfed this time as the other Autobots are scaled down compared to the 2007 roster.
*As part of [[BotCon 2007]]'s Hasbro tour, fans viewed "Robot Scale Chart v03", dated 11.22.05, which showed Arcee's height as 9' (2.7m). However, all of the designs on this chart were very early and later heavily revised (though [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] was revised far less than the others).
*It's commonly assumed that Arcee's big part in the movie would have been the scene in which [[William Lennox]] starts his solo assault on [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] using an abandoned motorcycle. However, the screenwriters rejected that notion, stating that this scene wasn't written until ''after'' Arcee had already been dropped from the script—but if she ''had'' remained in the movie, that scene ''would'' have probably featured her as the motorcycle.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/2288318-post539.html Orci once again clearing up the story between Arcee and the motorcycle Lennox uses during the final battle]</ref>
*Arcee came close to being killed off in ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', as the trade states that two revisions of the plot had her dying.
*Arcee was the host of a "Lonely Hearts" letter column in the Titan comic's [[letters page]].
[[File:BB-Arcee-model.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Ok, her legs were too skinny before, but now we're exaggerating..]]
*Arcee's Cybertronian design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily inspired by her Generation 1 [[Arcee (G1)|namesake]].

===Arcee triplets===
[[File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|So apparently Chromia and Elita-1 were green and silver at some point? Okay.]]
*It's not especially clear whether ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee is one consciousness controlling three bodies, or three separate individuals. Writer [[Roberto Orci]] explained that she was written as a singular entity, but that [[Michael Bay]] "kept them as individuals".<ref>[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2009/07/ask-orci-final-edition.html Roberto Orci answers questions on the Transformers Live blogspot, July 13, 2009.]</ref> If this was Bay's intention, it does not particularly come across in the movie (as the trio doesn't really ''do'' anything), beyond perhaps Arcee referring to her components in the plural form in one instance. The novelization of the film adheres to the script's intent, describing Arcee as a "[[Multi-component Transformer|Tripartite Cybertronian]]", while the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline chose instead to identify Arcee as only ''one'' of the bikes (the pink/red one), and characterize the other two as the separate characters [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]], who were characterised as Arcee's sisters.
**IDW Publishing's ''[[Transformers: Tales of the Fallen|Tales of the Fallen]]'' mini-series, complimented a few years later by ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm|Rising Storm]]'', goes to some lengths to marry the two concepts, depicting Arcee, Elita-1 and Chromia as a trio of robots animated by one spark, sharing thoughts and feelings but still possessing some degree of autonomy from one another.
**[[Titan Books|Titan]]'s comics, on the other hand, depict Arcee as having three bodies in their comic strips (sometimes even forgetting about ''that'' and drawing her in her original first movie toyline body), only to have their letters pages make the contradictory claims that a) they ''were'' separate robots who aren't related and Arcee's just the only one namechecked, and b) that ''nobody knows'' and that it depends "on who you ask".
**Hasbro ''Dark of the Moon'' website adheres to the original idea for Arcee, identifying her as a "a single mind that operates three bodies". Further, it follows through on the events of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' by stating that two of her components were destroyed during the battle at Giza. That, of course, is in fairly complete contradiction to previous Hasbro bios that have Elita-One still operating in the post-movie [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] setting.
[[File:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|SIX! SIX BIKE GIRLS! ah ha ha ha *sob*]]
*It was originally intended that the three individual "Arcees" would combine into a singular, larger robot in the film, but Michael Bay chose to drop the idea for fear of the confusion it would cause given how much else was already going on in the film.<ref>[http://www.siggraph.org/s2009/computer_animation_festival/sessions/details/?id=131 Q&A session with ILM effects supervisor Scott Farrar at Siggraph 2009]</ref> The idea evidently remained until comparatively late in production; both an unknown designer (see right) and [[Steve Jung]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 created a model] for the combined robot, and it appears in both the film's novelization and in the animatic for the Shanghai battle scene included on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD. A vestigial reference to the combination even exists in the finished Arcee, Chromia and Elita-1 toys in the form of a fold-out tab on each that allows them to link up back-to-back. Despite claims made by Hasbro that instructions for the trio's combined form would be made available online, the eventual relegation of Elita to a simple redeco of Chromia neutralized any real chance of the figures attaining any true combination capability, though this was returned to in ''Studio Series''.
**The combined form of the ''Studio Series'' toy appears to be based on [[:File:Rotf-scale-autobots2-1-.jpg|concept art used in the Autobot scale chart]] that appeared on the film's second DVD, rather than any of the other concepts that can be found online.
*The toy [[bio]] for ''Revenge of the Fallen''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s other motorbike Autobot [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] seems to refer to Arcee's change in form between the first and second movie toylines, claiming that he wants to undergo the new "combiner retrofit" he's been hearing about, strongly implying that Arcee underwent the same process. The absence of Arcee's combined mode from the film and IDW's own later explanation for her change in form never matched this implication, though.
*The animatics of the Shanghai battle scene included on the ROTF DVD serve to '''make Arcee more confusing'''. The "Lamborghini Jump" animatic depicts a trio of three female motorcycle Transformers (two red, one either silver or black) chasing Sideways, similar to the scene with Arcee and her compatriots as it appears in the final film. However, as the animatic continues, at least two of the bike-girls jump on Sideways in mid-pursuit, who he manages to throw off and into a building by swerving. Sideways is then confronted by ''another'' trio of bikes (pink, yellow and blue), who merge into a single robot and flip towards him, only to inexplicably disappear immediately afterwards. What the ''hell?''
*At some point between the film and the concept art stages of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Arcee's body was flipped horizontally; this resulted in all of her toys (at the time) being based on the concept art, making them inaccurate to her appearance in the film. Many years later, the ''Studio Series'' toy would correct this to be more in line with her CGI model used in the film.
*While ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shots that take down Arcee are fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would later claim that all three Arcee components were killed<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blu-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[https://www.mtv.com/news/1608508/michael-bay-reveals-transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-death/ Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref> IDW's comics ignored this and continued to feature the three sisters in ''Rising Storm''.
**[[Harold Attinger|Attinger]]'s playing card of Arcee lists her as "deceased", indicating that Orci and Kurtzman's claim has been supported. Of course, said card uses an image of Elita-1.

:''Scalpel is the cutest widdle [[Decepticon]]-allied [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] continuity.
[[Image:ScalpelCA.jpg|thumb|300px|''[["Weird Al" Yankovic|Like a surgeon - HEY! Cuttin' for the very first time...]]'']]

The tiny '''Scalpel''', also known as "the '''Doctor'''", looks harmless enough with his big, inquisitive eyes. But beware—in the world of the Transformers, things are not what they seem! Scalpel has vast databases of anatomical and mechanical knowledge, being familiar with most species in the galaxy. He's extremely adept at getting to the root of a problem and can handily disassemble most technological devices... or life-forms. Unfortunately, when he goes to put them back together, he always has a few parts left over. This has left most of the Decepticons reluctant to come to him for care, in spite of his duties as their field medic.

[[Image:ROTFfilm-Scalpelmicroscope.jpg|left|thumb|250px|That's me, a very expensive microscope just hangin' out in an old warehouse.]]

Scalpel was transported to the [[Laurentian Abyss]] by [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and several [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]]. Once the Decepticons reached the sea floor, Scalpel was released to assess the extent of the damage done to [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. After a cursory examination, Scalpel concluded that they would need spare parts, and ordered the death of [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|the smallest Constructicon]]. Once he had the "donated" parts and the [[AllSpark]] shard stolen by Ravage, he rebuilt Megatron into a more powerful—and very much alive—form.

[[Image:ROTF must have brain.jpg|thumb|right|200px|It's only fair to warn you; I have no idea what I'm doing.]]
Later, at a factory in the same city as [[Sam Witwicky]]'s university, Megatron ordered Scalpel to examine Sam, in hopes of finding out what he had learned from the AllSpark information downloaded into his brain. Using several [[Scalpel's assistant|''extremely'' invasive techniques]], Scalpel deduced that Sam's mind was definitely full of handy-dandy information. And the best way to get said information was to examine Sam's brain... while it was laid out on the table. Scalpel's attempt was interrupted by the timely arrival of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

The Decepticons attempted to attack, but were held off by an electrical attack courtesy of Ratchet, allowing the Autobots to escape. Later, Scalpel helped the Decepticons battle the Autobots in the Egyptian desert. Scalpel faced off against Ironhide. The Decepticons were ultimately defeated that day. {{storylink|Ratchet to the Rescue}}

===''TransTech''===
[[File:C-81andScalpel-CMW.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|"Primitive symbols. You walking, talking monkeys with your cave drawings. You assume there is only one way to gain magic."]]
In an alternate timeline, not only did Scalpel survive his encounters with the Autobots, but he became one of Megatron's Mini-Con companions, along with [[Boombox]] and [[Heavyweight]]. The whole lot of them were transported to [[Axiom Nexus]] when Megatron plummeted off a space bridge after a battle against [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Rodimus Prime]]. Though Scalpel and the other Mini-Cons were identified by the TransTechs, they overlooked Megatron himself, believing his truck mode to simply be a derelict heap. {{storylink|Megatron (Movie)#TransTech|Botcon 2015 Megatron's bio card}}

Scalpel continued to help his boss in Axiom Nexus. The most vocal of the three Mini-Cons, he had a tendency to spout out lines that were unnervingly creepy to those around him. When Megatron, now calling himself "C-81," and his new entourage were running from the local police force after a botched theft, the group was held up by a crowd of Seekers. Contemplating so many Cybertronians of similar anatomy made Scalpel express that the crowd would make ideal subjects to create a baseline in his experiments. Soon after, "Cybertron's most wanted" were taken into custody by the police and brought to the offworlder maximum security prison. Upon meeting [[Oilmaster]], Scalpel expressed interest in examining "the gorilla's" anatomy. Oilmaster refused.

[[File:SGNebulonwithScalpel-CMW.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
The group escaped, and eventually found themselves in the middle of a [[Waruder]] nest deep underground. Scalpel was the first to note that the structure wasn't built by the TransTechs, and seemed pseudo-organic in nature. The group were then engaged in battle with some Waruder soldiers. Scalpel jumped at the chance to study one of the fallen invaders, and took hold of one of the Waruder pilots' corpses. He then climbed aboard C-81's altmode, and began to dissect his new subject. With the information that Scalpel gleaned from the body, Cybertron's most wanted were able to deduce that the Waruders were eating away at the planet's cybertonium. This information was instrumental in negotiating with the intruders, and later sending them off-planet. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}}

:Scalpel transforms from a dissecting microscope to a creepy, almost cute insectoid robot with detachable "glasses". He has six insectoid legs that will pop off if you look at them funny, and two adorable translucent 'arms'. He is ''seriously'' mistransformed in-package, presumably because there was no other way for him to fit on the card. His stock photography also shows him mistransformed, with his body extended upwards and the shells forming the base of his microscope mode folded onto his legs.

:A running change has given later versions shorter antennae which fold away better during transformation. It's not clear which version is more common or whether the running change has spread to markets outside the US.

*In the movie itself and the novelization, he is simply called "the Doctor". He goes unnamed in the comic adaptation.
*The only reason his toy has pop-off glasses is because [[Hisashi Yuki]] thinks it's funny.
*In the [[Revenge of the Fallen issue 2|second issue of the movie adaptation]], Scalpel suddenly has a mouth, complete with teeth. And he looks really weird because of it.
*His alternate mode in the movie is different from his toy's. While the toy turns into a dissecting microscope, the alternate mode in the film is actually a {{w|lensmeter}}, a device used by optometrists to check the various aspects of a prescription lens for eyeglasses. It appears to be an [http://www.dickwhitney.net/AOLensometer.htm American Optical Lensometer Junior Model 603] from [[1938]].
*In ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' a bunch of [[Lensmeter Decepticon]]s appear. It is unknown if Scalpel was among them.

:''Scalpel is the cutest widdle [[Decepticon]]-allied [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] continuity.
[[Image:ScalpelCA.jpg|thumb|300px|''[["Weird Al" Yankovic|Like a surgeon - HEY! Cuttin' for the very first time...]]'']]

The tiny '''Scalpel''', also known as "the '''Doctor'''", looks harmless enough with his big, inquisitive eyes. But beware—in the world of the Transformers, things are not what they seem! Scalpel has vast databases of anatomical and mechanical knowledge, being familiar with most species in the galaxy. He's extremely adept at getting to the root of a problem and can handily disassemble most technological devices... or life-forms. Unfortunately, when he goes to put them back together, he always has a few parts left over. This has left most of the Decepticons reluctant to come to him for care, in spite of his duties as their field medic.

==Fiction==
===Movies===
====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[John Di Crosta]] (English), [[Hiroki Shimowada]] (Japanese)|[[Santiago Ziesmer]] (German), [[Michel Elias]] (French), [[Fabrizio Mazzotta]] (Italian), [[Martín Soto]] (Latin American-Spanish), [[José Augusto Sendim]] (Brazilian Portuguese dub)}}

[[Image:ROTFfilm-Scalpelmicroscope.jpg|left|thumb|250px|That's me, a very expensive microscope just hangin' out in an old warehouse.]]

Scalpel was transported to the [[Laurentian Abyss]] by [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and several [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]]. Once the Decepticons reached the sea floor, Scalpel was released to assess the extent of the damage done to [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. After a cursory examination, Scalpel concluded that they would need spare parts, and ordered the death of [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|the smallest Constructicon]]. Once he had the "donated" parts and the [[AllSpark]] shard stolen by Ravage, he rebuilt Megatron into a more powerful—and very much alive—form.

[[Image:ROTF must have brain.jpg|thumb|right|200px|It's only fair to warn you; I have no idea what I'm doing.]]
Later, at a factory in the same city as [[Sam Witwicky]]'s university, Megatron ordered Scalpel to examine Sam, in hopes of finding out what he had learned from the AllSpark information downloaded into his brain. Using several [[Scalpel's assistant|''extremely'' invasive techniques]], Scalpel deduced that Sam's mind was definitely full of handy-dandy information. And the best way to get said information was to examine Sam's brain... while it was laid out on the table. Scalpel's attempt was interrupted by the timely arrival of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Scalpel's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]," "[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel]]" and "[[The Last Prime]]"; the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]"; and the storybook "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]." Though the movie itself does not show Scalpel's fate, [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|the novel]], [[Revenge of the Fallen issue 2|comic adaptations]] and [[The Last Prime]] show him being blasted to scrap by Optimus Prime.}}

====''Dark of the Moon'' film====
{{see|Lensmeter Decepticon}}

===Titan movie comics===
Scalpel linked up with [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] and hid himself inside the larger Decepticon: once Bludgeon was captured by [[NEST]], Scalpel emerged to free him ''and'' all the other Decepticons in human captivity. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}}

===IDW movie comics===
Scalpel served as the ship medic aboard the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' during its mission to scour the galaxy for a [[Star Harvester]]. After the ship was damaged in a collision with the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] was heard calling out for him. The entire crew of the ''Nemesis'' then followed the Ark through a [[space bridge]] wormhole, arriving near [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}}

===''I Can Read!'' books===
[[File:ScalpelvsIronhide-RttR.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|Wait a minute, isn't this kinda one-sided?]]
Scalpel, [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] were at a sea-side dock when they encountered [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. The Decepticons attempted to attack, but were held off by an electrical attack courtesy of Ratchet, allowing the Autobots to escape. Later, Scalpel helped the Decepticons battle the Autobots in the Egyptian desert. Scalpel faced off against Ironhide. The Decepticons were ultimately defeated that day. {{storylink|Ratchet to the Rescue}}

===''TransTech''===
[[File:C-81andScalpel-CMW.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|"Primitive symbols. You walking, talking monkeys with your cave drawings. You assume there is only one way to gain magic."]]
In an alternate timeline, not only did Scalpel survive his encounters with the Autobots, but he became one of Megatron's Mini-Con companions, along with [[Boombox]] and [[Heavyweight]]. The whole lot of them were transported to [[Axiom Nexus]] when Megatron plummeted off a space bridge after a battle against [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Rodimus Prime]]. Though Scalpel and the other Mini-Cons were identified by the TransTechs, they overlooked Megatron himself, believing his truck mode to simply be a derelict heap. {{storylink|Megatron (Movie)#TransTech|Botcon 2015 Megatron's bio card}}

Scalpel continued to help his boss in Axiom Nexus. The most vocal of the three Mini-Cons, he had a tendency to spout out lines that were unnervingly creepy to those around him. When Megatron, now calling himself "C-81," and his new entourage were running from the local police force after a botched theft, the group was held up by a crowd of Seekers. Contemplating so many Cybertronians of similar anatomy made Scalpel express that the crowd would make ideal subjects to create a baseline in his experiments. Soon after, "Cybertron's most wanted" were taken into custody by the police and brought to the offworlder maximum security prison. Upon meeting [[Oilmaster]], Scalpel expressed interest in examining "the gorilla's" anatomy. Oilmaster refused.

[[File:SGNebulonwithScalpel-CMW.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
The group escaped, and eventually found themselves in the middle of a [[Waruder]] nest deep underground. Scalpel was the first to note that the structure wasn't built by the TransTechs, and seemed pseudo-organic in nature. The group were then engaged in battle with some Waruder soldiers. Scalpel jumped at the chance to study one of the fallen invaders, and took hold of one of the Waruder pilots' corpses. He then climbed aboard C-81's altmode, and began to dissect his new subject. With the information that Scalpel gleaned from the body, Cybertron's most wanted were able to deduce that the Waruders were eating away at the planet's cybertonium. This information was instrumental in negotiating with the intruders, and later sending them off-planet. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}}

===Ask Sideways===
Known liar [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] claimed that Scalpel patched him up after he was bisected in [[Shanghai]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Sideways, 2015/07/07}}

===Transformers: Battle for the Matrix===
{{Note|Battle for the Matrix is a simplified retelling of the events of [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]. It can be played from the perspective of either Bumblebee or Optimus Prime. Scalpel is fought in the warehouse scene.}}

*'''Scalpel''' (Scout, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-14'''
{{toydesigner|[[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Alex Androski]] (deco artist)}}

:Scalpel transforms from a dissecting microscope to a creepy, almost cute insectoid robot with detachable "glasses". He has six insectoid legs that will pop off if you look at them funny, and two adorable translucent 'arms'. He is ''seriously'' mistransformed in-package, presumably because there was no other way for him to fit on the card. His stock photography also shows him mistransformed, with his body extended upwards and the shells forming the base of his microscope mode folded onto his legs.

:A running change has given later versions shorter antennae which fold away better during transformation. It's not clear which version is more common or whether the running change has spread to markets outside the US.

Megatron (Movie)/merchandise

2023-07-10T03:54:31Z

MinerEdgar: /* Killerbody */ added entry for killerbody megaron helmet stand bluetoothspeaker

{{suite}}

The live-action incarnation of Megatron has a lot of merchandise!

==Merchandise==
===''Transformers'' (2007)===
====''Lunchables''====
{{anchor|ChessSet}}
*'''TRANSFORMERS Chess Set''' (2007)

: Two identical silver-colored plastic statues of Megatron serve as the [[Chess#Transformers (2007)|Chess Set]]'s Autobot-side King.
{{-}}

* '''Megatron''' ("Pocket Transformers" toy prize, 2007)

: A sort of "pseudo-figure" of Megatron cast in dark gray plastic, Megatron "transforms" from a flat structure emblazoned with the Decepticon symbol and the word "Transformers" to a robot by folding out. Megatron is represented by stickers decorated with artwork of the character on the top, bottom, and two fold out "arms". Said artwork is based on earlier promotional artwork of Megatron, and thus features a different head than the finalized version. His name is also spelled out across his feet in this mode.

: This mold was also used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Blackout (Movie)#Lunchables|Blackout]] and [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Lunchables|Starscream]]. A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Lunchables|Optimus]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#Lunchables|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/merchandise#Lunchables|Bumblebee]], though with the Autobot symbol sculpted in instead of the Decepticon one. Each iteration of this mold was made with a different color of plastic.

{{-}}

====Cap Candy Company====
[[File:GummyCandyFront.jpg|100px|thumb|"Oh, how hideously (and deliciously) ironic!"]]
*'''Transformers Gummy Candy''' (2006)
:Made by the [[Frankford Candy & Chocolate Company]] at the behest of [[Hasbro]]'s Cap Candy Company unit, this large Megatron-shaped [[Gummy Candy|gummy candy]] was available throughout 2006 to 2007. Also available was an [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]]-shaped gummy candies.
{{-}}

====Robot Fighters Game====
*'''Optimus Prime vs. Megatron''' (2007)

:Megatron comes packaged along with Optimus in a toy set that allows both figures to be strapped to their separate bases, and subsequently be controlled by two players, making them punch and kick one another via knobs that can be twisted and turned to make the characters perform different moves. Megatron's body is slightly simplified and features articulation at the shoulders and hip joints. A sort of update on the classic "Rock'em Sock'em Robots" game. The figures can also be separated from the base for fun on the go!

====3D Battle-Card Game====
[[File:3DBattleCard Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
*'''Megatron''' (3D Battle-Card, 2007)
**''Card number'': '''20'''

: Megatron is a 53-point "Rare" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from plastic cards, he can be assembled into either his robot mode or alien jet mode. His card construction was reused for the enigmatic [[Sky Lynx (Energon Wars)|Sky Lynx]] card in the game's "Energon Wars" expansion.

{{-}}

====Battling Robots Bubble Bath====
*'''Megatron''' (2007)
[[File:Megatron bubblebath.jpg|120px|thumb|"This is why I hate merchandising."]]
:Megatron's torso attaches to the bottle of bubble bath. His elbows bend, and his arms have a punching gimmick, to allow him to battle the forces of good. Pushing a lever on either side makes the respective fist punch forward. He's removable, though not as easily held without the bottle below his waist. Like many pieces of Megatron merchandise, this "figure" uses the older head design with blue eyes. The blue eyes are also the only spot of paint on him, unlike the elaborately decoed Prime.
{{-}}

====Burger King====
*'''Megatron''' Burger King free toy (2007)
:A non-transformable version of Megatron, cast primarily in gray plastic. The toy's entire "gimmick" is that both arms rotate at the shoulder. Due to the strict [[For safety reasons|protocols]] of making a fast food premium, Megatron's sharp and deadly design was forced to be smoothed out. This had the unfortunate effect of making his sculpted details meld together and looking less like a killer robot and more like a melted clay man. The toy ''appears'' to use the earlier head render of Megatron's, but due to the vague detail and paint job, may also not be.

:The toy also comes with a purple plastic Decepticon base and a lenticular motion card with a surprising amount of frames of animation. These two pieces may in fact be the better part of the package.

====Basic Fun====
[[File:2007MovieBasicFunKeychains.jpg|thumb|"Crap, Bonecrusher died....Barricade, get over here."]]
*'''Megatron''' (Figural keychain assortment, 2007)
: Produced by [[Basic Fun]], this keychain is a likeness of Megatron's robot mode with articulated arms, legs, head, waist, and a keyring sticking out of his ass.
{{-}}

====''Transformers Movie Danglers''====
[[File:Movie Megatron dangler.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|No, that's not his back, that's his actual face.]]
*'''Megatron''' (2007)
:Released by [[Gacha International|Tomy Yujin]] in November 2007<ref name="TomyYujin">[http://www.gachausa.com/transformersdanglers.html Tomy Yujin ''Transformers'' page]</ref> for the [[Danglers Collection]], this toy is a weird plastic [[super deformed]] version of Megatron that pops out his vehicle mode when you squeeze him. This little figurine has a little strap on it so that it can be put on cell phones or portable gaming devices.

:Other than Megatron, there are also versions of [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticon Devastator]], Bumblebee, Ironhide, Bonecrusher, Jazz, and Optimus Prime.
{{-}}

====''Robot Replicas''====
[[File:Mov2007-toy RobotReplicas Megatron.JPG|thumb|This is heavy, man!]]
*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Fusion Cannon
{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro)}}

:As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of Megatron is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, though the elbows only turn from side-to-side, giving him extremely limited arm articulation. His forearms can be replaced with his fusion cannon accessory (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins).

: This [[Walmart]]-exclusive two-pack includes "battle-damaged" redecos of Robot Replicas Megatron and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]].

====''Attacktix''====
*'''Battle Masters Megatron and Scorponok''' (Battle Master set, <s>2007</s>)
[[File:Attacktix-MovMegsScorp.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|HADOOOUKEN!]]
:One of the many casualties of the shelving of Hasbro's ''[[Attacktix]]'' line was this Battle Master set featuring Megatron and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]].

{{canceledattacktix}}
{{-}}

[[File:Attacktix MovieTransformers Tournament Set.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Because everyone knows Megatron's right-hand man is Bonecrusher, not Starscream.]]
*'''Transformers Tournament Set''' (<s>2007</s>)

: An ''Attacktix'' tournament set featuring unique playing pieces of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]], Optimus Prime, Megatron and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] was at one point scheduled for release. Along with a vast amount of other Attacktix product, it ended being canceled.

====''Titanium Series''====
[[File:Movie TitaniumRM Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Surf's up! WOOOOO!"]]
*'''Megatron''' (3" Robot Masters, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Movie-style Decepticon sigil display stand
:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Megatron is a die-cast metal and plastic figurine, with an accurate sculpt based on the CG model owing to the fact he doesn't need to transform. Being a figurine, he only has articulation in his shoulders, neck and waist. Megatron comes with a Movie-style Decepticon symbol display stand.

{{-}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen''===
====Nestlé====
*'''Megatron''' (Surprise Cup, 2009)
: A small figurine based on Megatron in his 2007 movie robot mode, with an attached cord on top to be used as either a keychain or a cellphone dangler, was one of eight possible miniatures that could be found as a freebie in the bottom of each [[Nestlé]] [[Surprise Cup]]. Interestingly, these first started popping up in European ice cream booths around March 2009, a good couple of months before the usual assortment of toys and merchandise for Revenge of the Fallen hit retail shelves.

====Burger King====
[[File:ROTFtoy-RiseofMegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Darn that [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]. ''*yyywaaawwwwwwn*'']]
* '''Rise of Megatron''' (Kids meal toy, 2009)

: Rise of Megatron has a pull-back motor and can "transform" between flying tank and robot modes, both of which are quite inaccurate. The tank mode lacks a cannon, while the robot mode lacks legs for purposes of the toy's own gimmick. Megatron's robot mode torso also looks quite deformed and odd compared to the CG model in the movie, with features such as a round mouth, huge arms, and symmetrical (huge) shoulders.

====Transformers Digital Watch====
[[File:ROTF Megatrondigitalwatch.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
*'''Megatron Digital Watch''' (2009)

:Made by [[F*A*B Starpoint]], this Megatron-themed digital watch has a nylon velcro strap with a rubber pull tab, a plastic case and chrome bezel, and an LCD display on the face.
{{-}}

====''Wacky Wobblers''====
[[File:WackyWobblers ROTFMegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|He just needs a hug!]]
*'''Megatron''' (2009)

:''[[Wacky Wobblers]]'' Megatron is a {{w|bobblehead}} doll which features details more accurate than any of his mainline toys, especially in the head and feet. However, his right hand, with the "lobster claw" weapon extended, is in an impossible position (compare his right arm with that of the Voyager class toy). Unlike most ''Wacky Wobblers'' bobbleheads, his arms are poseable.
{{-}}

====Basic Fun====
[[File:TF-ROTF-Basic-Fun-Megatron-Keychain.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Prime must have jammed the keyring up his ass.]]
*'''Articulated keychain''' (2009)

: Produced by [[Basic Fun]], this keychain is a likeness of Megatron's robot mode with articulated arms, legs, head, waist, and a keyring sticking out of his ass.

{{-}}

====Figure Collection====
[[File:ROTF-Merchandise Figure Collection Megatron.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb]]
*'''Megatron''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Stand
:The [[Figure Collection]] edition of Megatron is modeled on his [[#Voyager_Class_toys|Voyager class toy]] from the first movie, complete with molded icicles. His wing backpack is a separate piece which must be slotted in after opening the dispenser ball.

{{-}}
====Missile Mania Board Game====
*'''Megatron'''
: Megatron is one of eight characters featured in the [[Missile Mania]] board game, represented by a small standee adorned with artwork of the character.
{{-}}

====''Power Bots''====
[[File:ROTF PowerBots Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|At least nobody’ll forget what faction he belongs to....]]

*'''Megatron''' (Power Bot, 2009)

:The [[Power Bots]] version of Megatron is a large, sturdy action figure for younger children. Pressing the various Decepticon symbol buttons activates battle phrases, sound effects and light-up eyes, although for the European release, almost all of the battle phrases were cut in order to avoid language barriers (except for the occasional nonsensical utterance of "Decepticon!" and "Megatron!" among a huge, long string of blasting noises).
{{-}}

====''Robot Replicas''====
[[File:ROTF-toy RobotReplicas Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|I swear his chest is someone's face. Well, [[Mudflap (ROTF)|some 'bots can sympathize with that]].]]
*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2009)

:This non-transformable Megatron action figure was ''supposed'' to be very movie-accurate, but is actually a combination of the bulkier, earlier design used for his Leader class toy and the more slender final design used for the Voyager class toy. Although his arms are normal-sized and the right arm has the "lobster claw" seen in the final design, Megatron appears hunchbacked due to the fact that he has no neck (though not to the same extent as the Leader class toy).

:Strangley, the head sculpt of this figure is reused on the Stealth Force version of the character.

{{-}}

====''Battle Chargers''====
[[File:ROTF-toy BattleChargers Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|''Two'' faces? Optimus is going to have a field day with this.]]
* '''Megatron''' (Battle Charger, 2010)

:Part of the [[Robot Powered Machines]] subline, Battle Charger Megatron is a rounded-off tank with a [[pull-back motor]]. When pulled back and let go, his turret flips open and a cutesified depiction of his robot mode pops out. Amusingly, because of the tank mode featuring Megatron's face, he ends up with two faces in "robot mode".

**''Series:'' '''Battle Series'''

{{toydesigner|[[Alex Androski]] (deco artist)}}

:[[Robot Powered Machines]] Megatron is a non-transforming ''Hot-Wheels''-scale version of his tank-mode. Megatron's robot mode is sculpted on the bottom of the tank, along with his faction symbol and name. He features a rotating tank turret, but the cannon is constructed out of [[for safety reasons|softer materials]], which makes it droop down and look sort of... depressed. This deco was only available in a two-pack with [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys|Ratchet]].

:The first ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' toy of Megatron was available packed with [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#Robot Heroes|Autobot Ratchet]]. Like many ''Robot Heroes'', he is grinning from ear to ear, and in a squatty pose. Notably, his hands are simplified into three fingered claws, and his head is a cute version of the original (and replaced) design. His articulation is the standard shoulders and neck. The toy is colored much like the Leader Class version of the character.

:The second mold, sharing no parts with the first release. His right arm has transformed into the [[Mace (weapon)|flail]], and he's posed just after slamming it into the ground (with impact "explosion" molded in). The head is the "final" head design, but the toy has many outbursts of blue, either to make a more exciting deco or evoke him being "recently thawed".

: Part of the "Stealth Force" subline, this Megatron also has no robot mode, but makes up for it with a number of hidden weapons that flip out of his tank mode at the press of a button. His tank turret can fire a missile, while all the hidden weapons are non-firing.

:While not having a robot mode, this is the only toy in the Stealth Force line to have a robot head. Strangely, the head sculpt used on the front of his tank mode is the same sculpt used for the [[Robot Replicas]] release of Megatron.

Interestingly, his head is a fairly accurate depiction of his 2007 head, while the body is based on his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' design. Pushing the button on his chest plays the classic transformation sound. There is an on/off switch on his back.

* '''Megatron''' ("Pocket Transformers" toy prize, 2007)

: A sort of "pseudo-figure" of Megatron cast in dark gray plastic, Megatron "transforms" from a flat structure emblazoned with the Decepticon symbol and the word "Transformers" to a robot by folding out. Megatron is represented by stickers decorated with artwork of the character on the top, bottom, and two fold out "arms". Said artwork is based on earlier promotional artwork of Megatron, and thus features a different head than the finalized version. His name is also spelled out across his feet in this mode.

: This mold was also used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Blackout (Movie)#Lunchables|Blackout]] and [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Lunchables|Starscream]]. A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#Lunchables|Optimus]], [[Ironhide (Movie)/toys#Lunchables|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/merchandise#Lunchables|Bumblebee]], though with the Autobot symbol sculpted in instead of the Decepticon one. Each iteration of this mold was made with a different color of plastic.

:Megatron comes packaged along with Optimus in a toy set that allows both figures to be strapped to their separate bases, and subsequently be controlled by two players, making them punch and kick one another via knobs that can be twisted and turned to make the characters perform different moves. Megatron's body is slightly simplified and features articulation at the shoulders and hip joints. A sort of update on the classic "Rock'em Sock'em Robots" game. The figures can also be separated from the base for fun on the go!

====3D Battle-Card Game====
[[File:3DBattleCard Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
*'''Megatron''' (3D Battle-Card, 2007)
**''Card number'': '''20'''

: Megatron is a 53-point "Rare" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from plastic cards, he can be assembled into either his robot mode or alien jet mode. His card construction was reused for the enigmatic [[Sky Lynx (Energon Wars)|Sky Lynx]] card in the game's "Energon Wars" expansion.

====Battling Robots Bubble Bath====
*'''Megatron''' (2007)
[[File:Megatron bubblebath.jpg|120px|thumb|"This is why I hate merchandising."]]
:Megatron's torso attaches to the bottle of bubble bath. His elbows bend, and his arms have a punching gimmick, to allow him to battle the forces of good. Pushing a lever on either side makes the respective fist punch forward. He's removable, though not as easily held without the bottle below his waist. Like many pieces of Megatron merchandise, this "figure" uses the older head design with blue eyes. The blue eyes are also the only spot of paint on him, unlike the elaborately decoed Prime.

====Burger King====
*'''Megatron''' Burger King free toy (2007)
:A non-transformable version of Megatron, cast primarily in gray plastic. The toy's entire "gimmick" is that both arms rotate at the shoulder. Due to the strict [[For safety reasons|protocols]] of making a fast food premium, Megatron's sharp and deadly design was forced to be smoothed out. This had the unfortunate effect of making his sculpted details meld together and looking less like a killer robot and more like a melted clay man. The toy ''appears'' to use the earlier head render of Megatron's, but due to the vague detail and paint job, may also not be.

:The toy also comes with a purple plastic Decepticon base and a lenticular motion card with a surprising amount of frames of animation. These two pieces may in fact be the better part of the package.

This little figurine has a little strap on it so that it can be put on cell phones or portable gaming devices.

:Other than Megatron, there are also versions of [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticon Devastator]], Bumblebee, Ironhide, Bonecrusher, Jazz, and Optimus Prime.

*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Fusion Cannon
{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro)}}

:As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] sub-line, this version of Megatron is a non-transforming action figure that hews very close to the movie's CGI model. It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, though the elbows only turn from side-to-side, giving him extremely limited arm articulation. His forearms can be replaced with his fusion cannon accessory (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins).

: Rise of Megatron has a pull-back motor and can "transform" between flying tank and robot modes, both of which are quite inaccurate. The tank mode lacks a cannon, while the robot mode lacks legs for purposes of the toy's own gimmick. Megatron's robot mode torso also looks quite deformed and odd compared to the CG model in the movie, with features such as a round mouth, huge arms, and symmetrical (huge) shoulders.

However, his right hand, with the "lobster claw" weapon extended, is in an impossible position (compare his right arm with that of the Voyager class toy).

====''Power Bots''====

*'''Megatron''' (Power Bot, 2009)

:The [[Power Bots]] version of Megatron is a large, sturdy action figure for younger children. Pressing the various Decepticon symbol buttons activates battle phrases, sound effects and light-up eyes, although for the European release, almost all of the battle phrases were cut in order to avoid language barriers (except for the occasional nonsensical utterance of "Decepticon!" and "Megatron!" among a huge, long string of blasting noises).

*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2009)

:This non-transformable Megatron action figure was ''supposed'' to be very movie-accurate, but is actually a combination of the bulkier, earlier design used for his Leader class toy and the more slender final design used for the Voyager class toy. Although his arms are normal-sized and the right arm has the "lobster claw" seen in the final design, Megatron appears hunchbacked due to the fact that he has no neck (though not to the same extent as the Leader class toy).

:Strangley, the head sculpt of this figure is reused on the Stealth Force version of the character.

:Part of the [[Robot Powered Machines]] subline, Battle Charger Megatron is a rounded-off tank with a [[pull-back motor]]. When pulled back and let go, his turret flips open and a cutesified depiction of his robot mode pops out. Amusingly, because of the tank mode featuring Megatron's face, he ends up with two faces in "robot mode".

Megatron's robot mode is sculpted on the bottom of the tank, along with his faction symbol and name. He features a rotating tank turret, but the cannon is constructed out of [[for safety reasons|softer materials]], which makes it droop down and look sort of... depressed.

:The first ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' toy of Megatron was available packed with [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#Robot Heroes|Autobot Ratchet]]. Like many ''Robot Heroes'', he is grinning from ear to ear, and in a squatty pose. Notably, his hands are simplified into three fingered claws, and his head is a cute version of the original (and replaced) design. His articulation is the standard shoulders and neck. The toy is colored much like the Leader Class version of the character.

*'''Jazz''' (Autobot Car, [[1984]])
**''Takara ID number'': '''06'''
**''Takara release date'': [[1985]]
**''Accessories'': [[photon rifle]], missile launcher, 3 missiles
{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}
:Originally a pre-''Transformers'' ''[[Diaclone]]'' Porsche 935 Turbo, ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Jazz was part of the original assortment of Autobots released in 1984. He transforms into a Martini Racing Porsche 935/76, specifically the Martini-sponsored 935 which won the first circuit of the {{w|1976 World Championship for Makes}}, the Mugello Circuit. Like other Autobots who sported similar "sponsor" decals, however, Jazz's stickers deliberately misspell his sponsor as "Martinii". In [[robot mode]], he is armed with a silver [[photon rifle]] and a shoulder-mounted, spring-loaded rocket launcher that can fire three silver missiles. Like all his 1984 brethren, Jazz gained a heat-activated [[rubsign]] in 1985, added to the right-hand side of his hood.

:The packaging for the [[Milton Bradley]] release of Jazz in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain sported an additional "Porsche" remark after his name. The significance of this is still unknown at this point.

:In an undocumented feature, unpegging the hands from the shoulders in vehicle mode gives the figure working steering.

:This mold was also used to make (the originally Japanese-exclusive) [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Stepper]], later renamed Ricochet for Hasbro's reissue.

:In 1985, Jazz was also made available as a giveaway [[exclusive]] through a [[Cookie Crisp]] cereal contest. This edition of the figure features modified [[sticker]]s that lack all "Martinii" and "Porsche" detailing: the factory-applied door stickers (which were simply placed directly on top of the normal door stickers!) and the customer-applied stickers on the windscreen, spoiler top and sides. He came with his normal [[instructions]] and a copy of his box-back bio (minus the "[[Tech Spec]]" part) as a glossy-paper mini-card, printed in black and white.

:Per the contest rules, as many as 25,000 of these figures may have been given away.

*'''Jazz''' ([[Classic Pretender]], [[1989]])
**''Accessories:'' 2-piece [[Pretender]] shell, helmet, laser, rifle
:Classic Pretender Jazz is a highly simplified version of his original toy, still transforming into a Porsche 935 Turbo. He is armed with a black gun (named only a "laser" in his instructions, but identified as a [[photon rifle]] in his [[Tech Spec]]s), which can mount on his roof in vehicle mode.

:Jazz's two-piece Pretender shell resembles a human in a blue and white armored space suit with a removable helmet. The shell is armed with a large black rifle (given the dramatic identifier of a semi-automatic [[ion pulse gun]], according to his Tech Specs), and when Jazz is stored inside, it can also hold the smaller robot's photon rifle, thanks to the weapon's multi-width peg.

There are two known versions of Jazz. In one version the factory applied sticker on the car hood is applied upside down. The other version is the same as the Hasbro release.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Here, Jazz was named "Folgore", originally the Italian name of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions, including the two sticker variations.

*'''Jazz w/ Turbo Board''' ([[Action Master]], [[1990]])
**''Italian Name:'' '''Bionic'''
**''Accessories:'' [[electromagnetizer gun]], Turbo Board
:Part of the first assortment of individually-carded [[Action Master]] figures, Jazz's sculpt was based upon his cartoon model, but with some of the toy details added in. Like all (well, most) Action Master figures, he cannot transform, but has extra posability (mostly in his legs) far beyond that of his original toy. He is compatible with all Action Master accessories and vehicles, and comes with the [[Turbo Board]] mini-vehicle, which also converts into a colossal cannon he can carry.

:There are reportedly several minor variations of this figure, all regarding the color of his headlights. Some have them unpainted, while others are light blue or greenish-blue.

:Jazz was reissued in Europe and Australia in 1990 as part of the ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line. This version is ''mostly'' identical to the original toy, but it uses the Cookie Crisp edition's factory-applied door stickers that lack the "Martinii" logos. The customer-applied stickers are the same as the original release, and thus did include the "Martinii Porsche" decals for the windshield and rear spoiler.

*'''Jazz''' (Autobot Car, [[1993]])
**''Accessories:'' photon rifle, missile launcher, 2 missiles
:''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Jazz is a slight [[retool]] and (literal) [[repaint]] of the original toy. The chrome feet have been narrowed, omitting two tabs. His face (apparently degraded from [[mold]] usage) now has a strange unintentional smirk. His roof has been retooled with a small hole to accommodate his new bright green, spring-loaded missile launcher. All of his "Martinii" stickers have been replaced with various new stickers depicting his name and the number "1" laid over a rainbow-colored musical note.

:This mold became the basis for future reissues of Jazz, minus the roof hole retooling but retaining his smirk.

:The missile launcher was not created for the ''Generation 2'' line, but came from the [http://www.yojoe.com/action/91/snowserpent2.shtml Snow Serpent] from the ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' toyline. The same launcher was used in the ''Generation 2'' re-releases of [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys|Sideswipe]] and [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]].

*'''Jazz''' (Laser Cycle, <strike>[[1995]]</strike>)
:A [[redeco]] of the [[Laser Cycle]] [[Road Rocket (G2)#Toys|Road Rocket]] was planned as Jazz, but like many other planned late-1995 ''Generation 2'' redecos, ultimately never saw release. Interestingly, many of these — including Jazz and fellow Laser Cycle redeco [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#LaserCycle|Soundwave]] — ''were'' solicited in various store catalogues, such as the Sears Wish Book. Some packaged samples of this toy do exist, but there are estimated to be less than a dozen in existence. Jazz would have transformed from a white, yellow, and green Yamaha GTS1000 motorcycle, with an LED-lit arm-mounted buzzsaw that formed part of his rear wheel assembly in cycle mode.

:This mold was later [[retool]]ed to make the ''[[Microman]]: [[Microman#Micro Millennium (1998-2000)|LED Powers]]'' toys [[Microman#MachSpeeder|Mach Speeder]] and [[Microman#HiperSpeeder|Hiper Speeder]]; the retooled mold was then used to make [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Sideways (RID)#Toys|Sideways]] and ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' [[Road Rocket (G2)#Robotmasters|Road Rocket]].

*'''Meister''' (Transformers Collection, [[July 20]], [[2002]])
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
**''Accessories:'' photon rifle, missile launcher, 3 missiles
:Jazz was the first entry in Takara's ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' series of reissues, featuring collectible "book-box" packaging. The figure uses the retooled version of the Jazz mold used in ''Generation 2'', with narrower feet, though the peg-hole in his roof has been removed. Continued degradation of the mold in the intervening years led to further problems with the toy: in addition to the overall looseness of its joints, the toy's face is further deteriorated from the ''Generation 2'' use of the mold, now displaying a gape-mouthed smirk (see inset in picture), and its roof and rear windows no longer align perfectly.

:In addition to these unfortunate, unintentional changes from the original, some intentional changes were made to the figure's stickers. The original toy's "Martinii" sponsor decals on his hood and door are modified to instead display his Japanese name, "Meister", while the "Martinii Porsche" decal across the top of his windshield now reads "Agent Meister".

:A second production run of this figure replaced the original toolings for the weapons with the modified versions that came with Hasbro's ''Commemorative Series'' reissue (see [[#Commemorative Series|below]]).

:A ''[[The Transformers: Collector's Edition|Collector's Edition]]'' [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]], this version of Jazz is almost entirely constructed of vacuum-metalized gold plastic.

It uses the degraded mold of the ''Transformers Collection'' figure, and was only available in a set with the "Anime Version" redeco of [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys|Bluestreak]].

He transforms into a 1:64-scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Dodge Viper]] with Jazz's classic white Martini Racing colour scheme and livery, via [[sticker]]s. Like all [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] molds, he features high-speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly. His rifle is stored between his legs, acting as a tailpipe in vehicle mode.

:This toy was originally exclusively available at [[KB Toys]] stores in 2004, in generic ''Transformers'' packaging with no additional sub-line header. The same toy was later re-released in ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' packaging in 2005, now available from discount chains such as Dollar General and Family Dollar. Jazz was one of three figures released again as part of a second wave of the ''Universe''-branded line-up, with several alterations to the packaging such as a different [[cross-sell]] on the back, a different "Hasbro" logo, and even a different ''function'' (wave 1 Jazz is a "special operations expert", whereas wave 2 Jazz is a "special ops agent").

:This mold was originally intended for release in ''Generation 2'' as an [[Black Viper Go-Bot|unspecified character]].

**''Alternators ID number:'' '''7'''
**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-08'''
**''Accessories:'' muffler-blaster
{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro)}}

:For the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line, "Meister" (the Hasbro release uses the Japanese-market name as well for a change) was given a new [[alternate mode]], namely a highly accurate, [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] 1:24 [[scale]] white [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Mazda RX-8]]. He features an opening hood with engine, opening "suicide" doors and an opening trunk, as well as a detailed interior with seats and a dashboard complete with steering wheel. His front wheels feature a working "steering" mechanism (which is not connected to the steering wheel, though), and all four wheels are equipped with [[rubber tires]]. In robot mode, Meister is sculpted to resemble both the original Generation 1 Jazz toy and the G1 [[character model|cartoon model]]. He is armed with a rifle that transforms from his muffler; the peg used to attach the muffler in vehicle mode actually plugs into the holes on his forearms near the elbow joints, allowing the blaster to be attached there.

:Takara's ''Binaltech'' version of this sculpt differs from Hasbro's ''Alternators'' version by having his car shell partially constructed of [[die-cast]] metal, as well as having all the car body parts (including those made out of plastic) covered in paint and the side mirrors [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]], while the steering wheel is made of hard plastic. By contrast, the ''Alternators'' version has the car shell made entirely out of plastic (in standard white compared to the ''Binaltech'' version's slightly more creamy shade), the side mirrors are unpainted, and the steering wheel is made of a rubber-y plastic. Furthermore, there are some tooling differences as well: Like [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Streak/Silverstreak]] before, the ''Binaltech'' version's steering wheel is placed on the right side of the dashboard (like on a Japanese car), whereas it's located on the left side on the ''Alternators'' version (like on an American car). In addition, the ''Binaltech'' version's "steering" mechanism uses a magnet assembly to connect the steering axle to the front wheels (which are attached to the robot mode shoulders), whereas the ''Alternators'' version uses a plastic insertion point. The ''Binaltech'' version also comes with a large Autobot [[insignia]] sticker that can be applied to a real car.

:This toy was redecoed into the simultaneously available "Velocity Red Mica Edition" (see below), and later retooled into a Mazdaspeed RX-8 as [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Shockblast/Laserwave]], the [[Autorooper]], and later as Argent Meister (see below).

: Simultaneous with his standard release, ''Binaltech'' Meister was also available in a red variant in its own unique packaging. The two figures shipped in cases together in an equal ratio. All of the regular version's white parts, both plastic and metal, are replaced with red, while the panels on the upper hips that are painted teal on the "white" version are painted silver. This version also includes the Autobot car sticker.

: This toy was released concurrently with the "standard" white version of the figure, shipping in the same case, in an equal ratio. This figure's packaging is identical to the standard version (including images of the regular white toy on the back), save for a photograph on the front, and a label identifying it as the "Velocity Red Mica Edition".

**''ID number:'' '''BT-20'''
**''Accessories:'' muffler-blaster
:One of the first releases of the short-lived (and final) revival of the ''Binaltech'' line, this version of Meister utilizes the "Mazdaspeed Version II" retooled RX-8 body introduced with [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Shockblast/Laserwave]], but using the original Meister head and left hand, rather than Shockblast's arm cannon. It is touted as a "Movie Version", somewhat resembling the look of the [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie]] [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], due to its silver paint job. The name is a pun on his Japanese function, "Agent Meister", and the Latin-derived word "argent" for "silver".

:Argent Meister was only released in Japan, with no direct ''Alternators'' counterpart.

:Another Takara reissue of the original 1984/1985 Jazz/Meister toy, following the success of the [[Transformers (film)|2007 Movie]].

:For the most part, the tooling is identical to the second production run of the 2002 ''Transformers Collection'' release, with the modified weapon from Hasbro's ''Commemorative Series'' release. The face uses the fixed mouth originally made for the ''Transformers Collection''/''Commemorative Series'' [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Stepper/Ricochet]] reissue from 2004. The feet are still the narrowed ''Generation 2'' version.

:Other changes unique to this version include the replacement of many stickers (such as the Autobot [[insignia]] on the hood/chest and the "Meister" decals on the doors) with tampographed versions, retooled shoulder mounted flame thrower aligned 90 degree from the axis but unlike the previous iterations, is quite difficult to maintain mounted, and a [[show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] painted blue visor.

{{toydesigner|[[Tomoya Miyake]] (TakaraTomy)}}
:Part of the fifth wave of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|2010 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe class toys, Special Ops Jazz transforms from robot into a "street rally" white sports car that looks like Jazz's original Porsche front-end wearing [[Jazz (Movie)|Pontiac Solstice]] headlights for a hat. Jazz has deployable speakers in both robot and vehicle mode,<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/botcon-2010-hasbro-designers-panel-170066/</ref> and his rifle is an update of his [[Classic Pretender]] weapon. The speakers can also combine with his rifle via clips to form a super rifle, or they can be used on any other clip-compatible ''Transformers'' toy. A theme noticed in a few of the updated G1 Transformers is the backwards compatibility with the original character's weapons. Jazz is able to wield his G1 toy's shoulder rocket launcher on his neck though sadly both his original toy's photon rifle and his Pretender figure's weapon are incompatible with the toy. As part of the first wave of the ''Reveal the Shield'' promotion, he sports a [[rubsign]].

:This mold was later redecoed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Ricochet (Headmasters)#United 2|Stepper]], ''Timelines''/''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Longarm (SG)|Longarm]] and [[Stepper (SG)|Stepper]], and the mold's alternate head was used to make [[Treadshot (SG)|Treadshot]]. It was also retooled to make ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Wheelie (G1)#Generations|Wheelie]] and ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Kick-Off (G1)#Timelines|Kick-Over]], and was ''intended'' to be retooled into ''Generations'' [[Nightbeat (G1)#Generations|Nightbeat]], who ended up as a retool of an [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|entirely different sculpt]] instead.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (2011)
**''Set number'': '''31146'''
**''Pieces'': '''122'''
**''Kreons'': Jazz, Race Driver
**''Accessories'': pistol
:The ''[[Kre-O]]'' Jazz set is based primarily on Generation 1 Jazz in deco, with a head sculpt heavily based on ''Reveal the Shield'' [[#Transformers (2010)|Special Ops Jazz]]'s head, but with [[Live-action film series|Movie]] [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]'s silver coloration. He transforms into a generic sports car that doesn't really look like either of Jazz's alternate modes, with opening doors and a flip-up roof. Sadly, neither of these features is actually useful for inserting a driver (the gap left by opening the roof is too small, and the sides are blocked by unfortunately-placed horizontal bars), but at least the thought was there.

:The included Jazz Kreon is based directly on his ''Generation 1'' self, with his characteristic coloration and deco, and "door wings." He also comes with a generic light gray gun used by some of the other Kreons that can resemble Jazz's [[photon rifle]] if you squint hard enough. The "Race Driver" Kreon wears a red and light gray racing suit and helmet, and also has a light gray baseball cap so he doesn't have to wear his helmet all the time. How thoughtful!

:This set shows signs of having been slightly redesigned late in production. Included among the pieces is a red seat which is not used in either mode; there is an obvious place where it "belongs" in the middle of the car's cabin, but it cannot actually fit there due to other parts interfering. (Interestingly enough, [[LEGO|a certain other company's]] equivalent piece ''will'' fit, thanks to its slightly different design.) Similarly, there is a black sticker with "vent" detailing which the builder is never instructed to apply anywhere, though according to stock photography, it is intended for Jazz's abdomen/pelvis section. Later releases of the set didn't include the seat, but still retained the unused sticker.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}
:Transforming into a Le Mans-like racing car [[Porsche#Porsche 962|subtly inspired by a Porsche 962]], the ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' version of Jazz is a mostly new mold that reuses the wheels and combiner peg of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Dragstrip]]. Jazz can form a limb for any ''Combiner Wars''-style Combiner (or become one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs). Fans wanting to open this figure should take note that almost all of the roof, hood, and front grill of the figure is simply translucent plastic painted over, so be careful to avoid scratching or chipping these areas. Worse still, some fans have reported that this translucent plastic does not age well; it has a nasty tendency to crack after a few transformations. Again, ''be careful.''

:Like all other ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures, he comes with Prime Armor with a place for a [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]] (and by extension, a [[Titan Master#Toys|Titan Master]], [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) that can transform into a hand for a Combiner. He also comes with a piece that can fill the gap in the Prime Armor or be held as a gun. Also like the other Deluxe Class figures, the instructions explaining how exactly the armor connects are extremely vague. To connect the armor, the grill portion of Jazz's chest has two indents that fit the tabs on the "thumbs" when inserted at a slight angle. While this matches up to both the instructions and the packaging art, it should be noted that the connection is rather loose. Curiously, Jazz's engineering includes wrist swivels, but the panels molded underneath his forearms render them largely worthless. On another note, his Prime Armor was redecoed for [[Moonracer (G1)#Generations|Moonracer]], [[Firestar (G1)#Generations|Novastar]], [[Punch (G1)#Power of the Primes|Punch-Counterpunch]], and ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Greenlight#Generations|Greenlight]].

:While not necessarily part of a certain combiner team, his packaging and [[TakaraTomy]] stock photos depict him as part of [[Elita-Infin1te]] while his instructions show him combined with [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|Grimlock]] and the rest of ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures in Wave 1.

:Curiously, the roof and upper section of his hood both sport the iconic Martini racing stripes that were also present on the original Generation 1 figure. [[Copyright|Hopefully, nothing will go wrong.]]

:In November of 2017, ''Power of the Primes'' Jazz became the center of a minor controversy when it was discovered that the figure's deco included the acronym "[[President of the United States|MAGA]]" in tiny [[Cybertronix]] text underneath Jazz's Autobot insignia ({{w|Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016|which, for those of you who have been living under a rock since 2016...}}). When reached for questioning, Hasbro responded that they had not sanctioned the political message and would address the issue with the vendor (corporate language for "freelance artist") responsible.<ref>[https://io9.gizmodo.com/uh-is-this-transformers-toy-a-trump-supporter-1820555691 Uh, Is This Transformers Toy a Trump Supporter?]</ref> A re-release of Jazz as part of wave 3 of the ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class featured a [[variant#Running changes|running change]] that saw the "MAGA" text removed, leaving a blank black space. The variant's date stamp is '''80671'''. While official stock photos of the TakaraTomy release of the figure featured the "MAGA" acronym in Cybertronix, the final toy when released featured the edited tampograph of the Hasbro running change version with a blank black section in its stead.

Jazz features the number "14" on his side, a combination of the racing numbers on [[#Toys|his original]] and [[#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' toys]] according to designer [[John Warden]], with the intent to "keep it fresh in the alternate universe of [[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War For Cybertron]]" and ensure customizers could choose which number they preferred.<ref>https://twitter.com/wardenfive/status/1317412380750585856 John Warden on Twitter, 17 October 2020</ref> Coincidentally, it is also the release number of his ''Diaclone'' toy.

:Jazz comes packaged with his back kibble unfolded, although his instructions address how to properly fold it up for robot mode. His roof assembly is made of painted translucent plastic—including ''the hinge that holds it to the chassis''—so caution is advised when transforming him. Unfortunately, the two pins used to attach the car roof to the body and rear half have been observed to cause the part itself to inevitably over time develop vertical stress fractures at both ends, regardless of whether or not the figure is transformed even once or if anything is inserted into the 5mm peghole on top.

:The [[unpaintable plastic]] parts, such as the thighs, front wheel wells and the skeletal joints that hold most of his torso together, are prone to a form of [[photodegradation]]. Strangely, the white paint used on the translucent parts ''also'' discolors to a yellowish tinge; this had not been observed on prior ''Transformers'' toys, suggesting a different manner of paint mix.

:As with other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a diorama display for the figure. In this case, it shows Jazz's computer terminal and observation window from [[Moonbase One]].

:This figure was retooled with a new head into ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' [[Jackpot (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Jackpot]], and retooled more extensively into ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' [[Knock Out (Prime)#Legacy|Prime Universe Knock-Out]].

:Part of the cross-franchise ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' subline, "Origin Autobot Jazz" transforms from cartoon-accurate robot to <s>handheld vacuum cleaner</s> his Cybertronian vehicle mode seen in the opening scenes of "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" and back, similar to the earlier [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#BuzzworthyOrigin|Origin Bumblebee]] toy. He transforms in 20 steps and includes both his blaster and a two part grappling hook attachment for either arm, attaching to a 5 mm port revealed when his hands are tucked away. The grapple stores underneath the vehicle mode via a 5 mm port hidden under Jazz's chest while the blaster more conventionally plugs on top. The toy's "[[Evo-Fusion]]" gimmick involves combining the blaster and grapple by plugging either just the hook or the hook on its base onto the end of Jazz's gun via a 3 mm connection. His alt mode features two dedicated 5 mm [[Fire Blast effect]] compatible ports on the back which, while technically housed in his feet, are entirely separate from the 5 mm ports also in his feet.

:Like other ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toys, Jazz is exclusive to Target stores in the United States. Due to the open-windowed packaging, it is not uncommon for the paint on his chest to be scratched or chipped while still unopened.

:Origins Jazz was officially revealed during a ''Transformers'' team roundtable with fans on [[February 6]], 2023.

:Jazz was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Jazz was molded in soft red 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. Jazz 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.

*'''Jazz''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''13'''
: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 "checklist" number. Like all Autobot Decoys, Jazz was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

*'''Meister''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''8'''
**''Accessories'': stand
:Released in the eighth "Act" of ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Super Collection Figure]]'', Meister is a PVC figurine based on the cartoon rendition of Jazz. He came in both full-color and pewter-painted versions, both packed one per case.

:The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

:The color versions of Jazz came packaged with the waist of the Act's "build-a-figure" [[Scorponok (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Scorponok]]. This part too could be in either full-color or pewter, packed at a ratio of six color parts to four pewters.

:Released in the fourth wave of ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' Jazz is a redeco of the ''SCF'' Meister figure. He is cast in blue plastic almost completely painted over, leaving the visor and the back of the head unpainted to take advantage of a [[light-piping]] gimmick. His backpack-windshield is also unpainted, which is a cute touch.

:He has a large number of other paint differences from Meister, including a more cartoon-accurate light blue waist deco, red stripes on his rear wheels rather than blue, a much darker gray face, a more complex stripe on his backpack... and for some reason, his boots are light gray all over, including the vehicle-mode wheel hubs, rather than white. Oops.

:Like all ''Heroes of Cybertron'' releases, he came on an individual cardback, with a character bio card. He also included the left leg to the wave's [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure".

===First 4 Figures===

{{toydesigner|[[Little IroN]] (concept artist), [["Mad" Alterton]] (sculptor)}}

:Intended for release in the ''Transformers Battlefield'' line by model company [[First 4 Figures]], this was to be 13-inch-ish tall diorama depicting [[Soundwave (G1)/merchandise#First 4 Figures|Soundwave]] fighting against Jazz. According to a look at the digital sculpt afforded to the toy news press at New York [[Toy Fair]] in 2006, the set featured Soundwave holding Jazz above his head, about to throw him down onto the trashed form of [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] at his feet.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070806062058/http://toyfair06.asmzine.com/first4figures/report.html "First4Figures Limited Transformers Statues and Busts Info!"] at ASMzine.com (archived)</ref>

:As a ''Battlefield'' release, this model would have featured a detailed base designed to interlock with others in the same range to create a massive battle diorama. Unfortunately, a general discontinuation of First 4 Figures' ''Transformers''-related output meant only the first model, "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#First 4 Figures|Optimus Prime]] vs [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#First 4 Figures|Megatron]]", was released.

:All models in the ''Battlefield'' line were advertised as being sculpted by [["Mad" Alterton]], with a corresponding set of art posters by [[Little IroN]], implying he had produced the concept art for each release. The set was likely intended to be limited to 1,850 pieces worldwide, given that the certificate of authenticity for the first set allowed buyers to reserve the same numbered release on their next purchase in the series.

[[File:PorscheMiniSubaru.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
*The [[#LaserCycle|Laser Cycle Jazz]] is not the only cancelled ''Generation 2'' Jazz toy! Revealed on the Graphic Design Portfolio section of [[Bill Forster]]'s website, is an almost all orange redeco of the G1 Jazz figure. This art would later be published in ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]'' alongside many other unrealized ''Generation 2'' concepts, which in turn would inspire the deco of the ''Legacy Toxitron Collection'' figure described above.
*The first toy planned for the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line was Jazz as a Porsche 986. A prototype was made, but Porsche refused to grant Hasbro and Takara the license, stating that "Transformers are not worthy [of] carrying the Porsche trademark. They are war machines, and the toyline in no way represents the lifestyle and ideas which Porsche represents."<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/community/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24622 Former Porsche employee Addl recounting an informal inquiry with Porsche's licensing department at TF Archive]</ref> As a consequence, the toy ultimately never went into production. Photos of the prototype were depicted in the Japanese book ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'', and Hasbro later also displayed the prototype during the [[BotCon 2007]] Hasbro Tour.
*The ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Mazda RX-8 (which ultimately ended up as Meister) was originally intended to be named "[[Camshaft (G1)|Camshaft]]", according to various early store listings and a premature reply from Hasbro's customer service. This would also fit with the early idea of making the ''Alternators'' toys "direct updates" of their characters' G1 predecessors. A prototype was leaked to the public in early 2004 sporting the same basic colors as the later ''Alternators'' "Autobot Camshaft" toy (the Acura RSX), although it's uncertain whether the prototype colors for the RX-8 were supposed to be indicative of the proposed colors for Camshaft (since the Acura redeco was originally intended as a G1 Bluestreak [[homage]] before being renamed into "Autobot Camshaft"). The reason why the RX-8 Alternator was ultimately not named "Camshaft" was apparently because the real-life Mazda RX-8 car doesn't ''have'' a camshaft. The irony is staggering, as Camshaft's original toy was an RX-7, which ALSO lacks a camshaft.
*There have been at least two different reasons stated why the Hasbro toy was named "Meister" rather than "Autobot Jazz": For one, Hasbro was still hoping that Porsche would have a change of mind and grant them the license after all, as Chevrolet had done; also, Aaron Archer has been quoted stating that he thought a third toy named "Autobot someone" following "[[Hound (G1)/toys|Autobot Hound]]" and "[[Tracks (G1)/toys|Autobot Tracks]]" would have been somewhat "redundant".
*By coincidence or by design, the 2006 ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Transformers: Cybertron]]'' [[Ransack (Cybertron)#GTS|Ransack GTS]], a Velocitronian motorcycle toy, employs a deco similar to that of the canceled 1995 [[#LaserCycle|Laser Cycle incarnation of Jazz]].

:Originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "New [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Lamborghini Countach|Countach LP500S]]", Sideswipe transforms into... well, into that. In [[robot mode]] he is armed with a white rifle and a missile launcher that can clip onto either of his shoulders. The launcher can fire one of three included white missiles, in theory, as the springs were weakened for the US release [[for safety reasons]]. The original 1984 US release did not have the [[rubsign]] found on later releases.

:When Hasbro released the original Generation 1 toys in continental [[Europe]] through its then recently acquired subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] in 1985, several toys, such as the Autobot Cars, were actually pre-existing stock originally intended for [[Joustra]]'s version of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' line that was acquired by Hasbro as part of an agreement with Joustra and put into MB-branded ''Transformers'' packaging. For some reason, the Sunstreaker toy (sporting its yellow Hasbro ''Transformers'' colors due to being produced during the ''Diaclone''/''Transformers'' transitional period) was released in packaging intended for his brother Sideswipe, an entirely different sculpt. The packaging even included Sideswipe's instructions and sticker sheet, neither of which were of much use for the toy. It's currently unknown whether the actual Sideswipe toy was ever sold in MB "Sideswipe" packaging at all, although considering the origin of the MB-branded Autobot Cars, it's very unlikely for this to be the case.<ref name="mbsunswipe">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-6/ "MB Transformers: Part 6"] at 20th Century Toy Collector.</ref>

**''Accessories:'' Left & right launchers/thrusters, 2 flame missiles

:One of several [[exclusive]]s to [[OTFCC 2003]], ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Sideswipe is a [[redeco]] of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Prowl (RID)#Toys|Prowl]] mold, once again transforming into a Lamborghini Diablo. A pair of add-on thrusters become arm-mounted launchers for robot mode; each one being a pressure-launch missile launcher.

:The part that connects the toy's windshield to the main body uses a red [[sticker]] rather than paint, as that part is made out of [[unpaintable plastic]]. The police lights from the original mold were removed, leaving this area bare. Prowl's sirens allow him to use a jetpack in robot mode, so there's an irony in leaving that feature out since jetpacks are a trademark of Sideswipe.

:This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] and the ''Universe'' incarnation of [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Universe (2003)|Generation 1 Sunstreaker]].

{{note|While the toy's name was spelled "Sideswipe" (one word) on its own packaging, the cross-sell on the packaging for the OTFCC 2003 [[Shadow Striker (Universe)|Shadow Striker]]/[[Roulette (Universe)|Roulette]] two-pack spelled it "Side Swipe" (two words) instead.

**''Alternator ID number:'' '''2'''
**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Dodge Viper Engine/gun
{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro), [[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:The second ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy released, Side Swipe's [[alternate mode]] is a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] 1:24 scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Dodge Viper .28Chrysler.29|Dodge Viper]] (identified as an SRT-10 model by the Japanese ''Binaltech'' version) featuring opening doors, a detailed interior, and a hood that opens to reveal an engine bay holding a replica Viper V-10 engine. The vehicle mode also features movable steering and [[rubber tires]] with [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] wheels. His removable engine becomes a blaster.

:The main difference between Hasbro's ''Alternators'' Side Swipe and Takara's ''Binaltech'' "Lambor" releases is that the ''Binaltech'' version has die-cast metal parts for most of the car's outer body shell, with the exception of the rear end (the "backpack" [[kibble]] in robot mode), and the entire red exterior of the car is fully painted, unlike the ''Alternators'' version's flat red plastic. Furthermore, the ''Alternators'' version sports additional "blackwash" [[paint operation]]s on his chest the ''Binaltech'' version lacks.

:The Dodge Viper sculpt was originally designed to be a new body for [[Tracks (G1)/toys|Tracks]] after the first attempt to secure the Corvette license had fallen through. Eventually, though, Chevrolet had a change of mind and granted Hasbro and Takara the license for the Corvette design after all. As a result, the Viper mold was slightly redesigned, was given a new head sculpt and released as Sideswipe (or "Side Swipe") instead. This explains why, unlike most of the early Alternators toys, Side Swipe's robot mode bears little resemblance to his G1 self. The most noticeable redesign from the "Tracks" design was the vehicle mode's doors being moved from the "backpack" kibble (where they would have resembled the G1 Tracks toy's wings) to the sides of the arms, thus being the most obvious visual cue taken from the G1 Sideswipe toy. The doors are, however, still splayed out to the sides in the ''Alternators'' version's [[package art]] and can be moved to match Tracks's wing configuration, which implies that the redesign may have been done before the switch from Tracks to Sideswipe was made.

:This sculpt was [[retool]]ed to make [[Dead End (G1)#Alternators/Binaltech|Dead End]], who was then [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Alternators|Sunstreaker]] (although the retool was originally done with Sunstreaker in mind).

**''Series:'' '''VIII'''
**''Accessories:'' "Laser gun", rocket launcher, 3 rockets

:The version of Generation 1 Sideswipe previously released as part of Takara's "Transformers Collection" series, albeit with its spring-loaded launcher de-sprung [[for safety reasons]], was reissued by [[Hasbro]] under the modified name "Side Swipe" as part of their [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] VIII, one of the last American reissues. However, because [[Toys"R"Us]], who had carried the Commemorative Series as an [[exclusive]] line up until that point, had abruptly decided to discontinue the line, Side Swipe was only released in very low quantities in the United States; in fact, his availability at TRU was considered a myth for many years. The unsold stock was made available a year later through [[KB Toys]] stores and outlets, at half the original price. The figure ''was'', however, available at Toys"R"Us stores in Australia and Canada in 2004 in average quantities.

:In 2012, several Commemorative Series figures, among them Side Swipe, were re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets, in slightly altered packaging. Unlike most of the other figures from this batch, Side Swipe retained the "Commemorative Series VIII" label on his box; however, the background color of the "choking hazard" safety warning label was changed from red to black, the Hasbro logo was updated to the then-current version, and the "+" after the "Ages 5+" recommendation was increased in size. Oddly, even though Hasbro had started spelling the name of toys of the character as "Sideswipe" again in 2008, this release still rendered the name as "Side Swipe".

**''Series'': '''Classic Series'''

{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro), [[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the third wave of [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'']] Deluxe Class toys, Sideswipe is a retool/[[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Sunstreaker]], transforming into a modified {{w|Lamborghini Gallardo}}. Though the car is mostly based upon the Gallardo, to avoid legal problems, it also features modified headlights and elements taken from other cars—most of them are taken from other Lamborghini models, such as a rear end that is basically a cross between a {{w|Lamborghini Murciélago|Murciélago}} and a {{w|Lamborghini Diablo|Diablo}}; however, the split side windows and the ridges on the door vents are based on a {{w|McLaren F1}}. He also comes with the same roof-mounted engine supercharger accessory as Sunstreaker. Hasbro's early plans for Sunstreaker and Sideswipe had the two as straight redecos of each other, only differing in their head sculpts besides their colors—namely, Sunstreaker would have just been Sideswipe in yellow with a different head. It was [[TakaraTomy]] designer [[Hisashi Yuki]] who suggested an alternate transformation by turning the upper body by 180 degrees (and swapping the hands to accommodate the different upper body orientation), thus providing more individual robot mode looks for the two characters that resemble their respective ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' designs more.<ref name="generations2009">Interview with Hisashi Yuki in [[Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1|''Transformers Generations 2009'' vol. 1]], [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/223379-takaratomy-staff-interview-generations-2009-vol-1-translation.html English translation] at TFW2005.</ref>

:[[File:SunstreakerSideswipeSDCC2007.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|''Universe'' [[Tigertrack]]. Fortunately, this didn't happen.]]
:Hasbro also originally intended the [[alternate mode]]'s supercharger to split into two halves which would then become the handgun and a spring-loaded shoulder launcher for the robot mode. On the final toy, the Flare Launcher (a redeco of Sunstreaker's Electron Pulse Blaster) can be combined with the removable supercharger engine accessory by wrapping the intakes around the gun and mounted in either of the holes on his shoulders to simulate Sideswipe's Generation 1 missile launcher. Of course, this leaves him without a hand-held weapon. The engine can also be mounted on Sideswipe's back as his [[Jet pack|rocket pack]]. Most of this is not shown in the [[instructions]], which only instruct the owner of the toy to put the gun in his hand and attach the supercharger to his back.

:Even worse, Sideswipe's instruction line art is recycled from Sunstreaker's instructions and therefore incorrectly gives him Sunstreaker's transformation and head, despite the [[stock photography|stock photo]] depicted on top of the instructions showing him with the hood as the chest and the correct Sideswipe head.<ref>[http://hasbro.com/common/instruct/83685.pdf Official Universe Sideswipe instructions PDF file on Hasbro.com]</ref> Unfortunately, the stock photo Hasbro provided to online retailers retains this incorrect transformation, and [[:File:UniSideswipeStockPhoto.jpg|throws in some additional mistakes as well]]. Oy.

:The Sunstreaker/Sideswipe sculpt was also retooled into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Punch (G1)#Timelines|Punch]], [[Breakdown (G1)#Timelines|''Generation 2'' Breakdown]], and [[Breakdown (G1)#G1TimelinesBreakdown|Generation 1 Breakdown]], as well as ''[[Henkei!

:He also has correct, personalized [[instructions]] that aren't just Sunstreaker's. Like Sunstreaker, the Japanese version's roof paint is a much closer match to the red colored plastic.

:A ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''-style redeco of ''Universe'' Sideswipe, ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Sideswipe is pre-molded in new colors, which was unprecedented for the BotCon customization class exclusive (and apparently came as a surprise to [[Fun Publications]]). During the class, the mold was assembled, painted and stickered by the enrollees. Between the two classes, there were 52 participants.

:The exact brands and colors of paints utilized to paint this figure were:

:-Polly Scale #F414296 Stainless Steel (face and hub caps)
:-Polly Scale #F505020 Red RLM23 (this color is discontinued from the manufacturer)
:-Model Master Acryl #4769 Flat White (base coat under RLM 23 on hood)

:-Model Master Acryl #4721 Insignia Yellow (side markers)
:-Model Master Acryl #4637 Semi-Gloss Clear
:-Model Master Acryl #4609 British Crimson (tail lights)
:-Model Master Acryl #4746 Medium Gray (base coat under RLM 23 on upper arms, under Stainless Steel on face and hubcaps)
:-Vallejo #72023 Electric Blue (gun tip)

:In regards to the plastic mold changes, white remains white, but like the original ''Generation 2'' figure, the red and black colors are swapped. Clear green replaces the clear plastic used for the window and thighs.

:This figure uses the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Red Alert (G1)#Generations|Red Alert]] version of the mold, which includes two screw holes in the canopy (rather than one like ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Alert or none like all other versions of this mold). The samples [[Shawn D. Tessmann|Shawn Tessmann]] had on display used the original version of the mold, and lacked the screw holes. Despite the mold change, the lightbar was not included. These holes replace the slots used to mount the rocket pack in robot mode. The rocket pack can still be mounted on the gun in robot mode and in car mode though. As an unintended result of having empty screw holes over the rocket pack sockets, Sideswipe can now mount his gun inside either screw hole on the roof of his car mode.

:The unassembled figure was also given out to those who volunteered at BotCon 2010.

**''Accessories'': Rifle

:''[[Kre-O]]'' Sideswipe can be built in either robot or G1-inspired car mode. His head sculpt is heavily based on [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' Sideswipe]]'s head design, but as a first for a Sideswipe toy with a primarily red body, the head is ''not'' colored black, but ''red'' like the ''Generation 2''-inspired BotCon 2010 customization class version's head ([[#Timelines|see above]]). He comes with two [[Kreon]]s: a Sideswipe based on the Generation 1 character and a generic driver.

:Like many other Kre-O sets, his stock photography shows a different robot mode construction than the final product. The most noticeable examples are his lower legs which have a much less awkward construction in the stock photos than the final product. Whether this is the photographer taking creative liberty or if the set design changed is unknown. The stock photography also depicts the set as including the [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Red Alert]] Kreon in place of Sideswipe.

: This version of Sideswipe features much more extensive toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior version.

*'''Lambor''' ([[October 27]], [[2012]])
**''ID number:'' '''MP-12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, flare gun, two pile drivers (A), two pile drivers (B, Amazon.co.jp only)
{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}
: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Lambor transforms into a licensed Lamborghini Countach LP500S. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his [[Character model|cartoon model]], and even features a Lamborghini-supervised paint scheme, such as glossy red [[Paint operation|paint]] covering the ''entirety'' of his vehicle mode panels and robot shoulders, as well as various bits of black detailing to make it accurate to the real-life vehicle. Standing at around 6¼ inches (or 15.5 centimetres) from head to toe in robot mode, he is also in [[scale]] with MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#mp10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Lambor lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic.

[[File:MP-13 Lambor full color.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|The Amazon version's additional <s>cake slicers</s> <s>screwdrivers</s> pile drivers.]]
: For accessories, he comes with his hand-held flare gun, and his non-firing missile launcher, which is jointed at the peg to allow it to pivot up and down, and can mount on either shoulder in robot mode. His launcher and gun can be combined and mounted on a self-covering peg-hole on his vehicle roof/robot back. He also comes with a pair of pile drivers, which can snap onto the ends of his forearms when either hand is flipped in, and are based on the blunt arm pistons he uses in "[[A Plague of Insecticons]]". He is also compatible with the rocket pack included with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#35th|MP-44 Convoy]], as it belonged to Sideswipe in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.com]], one additionally gets a different [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] pair of pile drivers, which are based on the jackhammer-like pistons he uses in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]". If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a collector's coin is included instead. Both the coin and its wheel-shaped package identify him as Sideswipe instead of Lambor. In Malaysia, Lambor included both the additional Amazon.co.jp pile drivers and the coin. A reissue of the figure in September 2015 came with a different coin, coming in a package shaped like Sideswipe's chest/front hood.<ref>http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/08/24/masterpiece-lambor-hasbro-asia-reissue-collectors-coin-300240</ref>

:This mold was redecoed and retooled to make MP-14 [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Alert]]. Lambor's version of the mold, with Alert's face, was then redecoed into MP-12T [[Tigertrack#Masterpiece|Tigertrack]].

**''ID number'': '''MP-12G'''
**''Accessories'': MA68S Machine Gun, GZS-3 Grenade Launcher, Broad Sword, 2 "Spike Armor" wheels
{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}
:Like the original [[#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' Sideswipe toy]], ''Masterpiece'' Lambor G-2 Ver. features mostly a straight-up swap of his red and black plastic and paint colors, resulting in a black body with red trim. His windows have been changed from translucent black to translucent red, his helmet is painted red, and he features a new, [[Derek Yaniger|Yaniger]]-licious snarling face with separately-painted [[Teeth|pearly whites]]. He comes with a [[sticker]] sheet that duplicates the original G2 toy's deco, as well as two comic-accurate ''Generaton 2'' Autobot symbol stickers of varying sizes. While the majority of the red car parts on the original Masterpiece figure are now black, portions of the robot mode that were previously red remain red. These areas include the back of his legs as well as portions of his torso.

:Instead of his original weapons, Lambor comes with new accessories based on the weapons he wielded in the Marvel G2 comic. These include a handheld machine gun and grenade launcher, a pair of articulated, non-rolling spiked wheels that can mount on his shoulders, and a sword, all of which can combine and mount onto his roof. Sadly, he does ''not'' come with a bandolier to properly carry that sword on his back, which means the sword just kind-of loosely stows there according to the [[instructions]].

:If purchased in Asian markets outside of Japan, a recolor of MP-12 Lambor's collector's coin is included. Among other minor differences, the coin is now colored silver, and its wheel-shaped package now features a ''Generation 2'' Autobot symbol at the back in place of a Generation 1-type symbol.

His arms and feet remain a very light blue / off-white color to replicate the distinction in color his [[character model]] featured between the original toy's white plastic and vac-metallic silver parts. The Autobot symbol on his chest is larger. He now has MP-14 Alert's face in place of the original MP-12's face.

:He comes with three sets of pile drivers, the two from the original MP-12, plus the third set originally included with [[Clampdown (G1)#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Clampdown]], redecoed in grey, which is based on their appearance in "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]". The instructions also depict the Red Alert mold for the transformation steps.

:When purchased in Asian markets outside of Japan, ''yet another'' (number four for those keeping track at home) collector coin is included, cast in bright silver (as opposed to the brushed appearance of the G-2 coin), which also for the first time identifies him as "Lambor". It comes mounted on a card similar to the original MP-12 and G-2 coins, however the wheel motif is based on the actual Countach wheel design, rather than the generic spoked wheel of its predecessors. Like the coin itself, the card identifies him as "Lambor."<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/the-masterpiece-cards-coins-thread.819496/page-24#post-15270213</ref>

*'''Sideswipe vs. Reflector''' (unreleased Toys"R"Us exclusive 2-pack, planned for ca. 2011)
:This figure would have been a either a retool or a straight redeco of 2008 ''Universe'' Deluxe Class Sideswipe, in a color scheme based on his 1993 ''Generation 2'' toy, but with a slightly different color and deco layout than the BotCon 2010 exclusive [[#Timelines|''Timelines'' customization class figure]]. It would have either featured Sideswipe's regular head or a completely different, never-seen-before head sculpt. It was inteded to be released as part of a [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] two-pack with [[Reflector (G1)#Generations|Reflector]], a redeco of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]'' Delue Class [[Perceptor (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Perceptor]] that would have used that toy's alternate head sculpt. The intended deco sheets for the two figures were revealed by the unofficial [[Pete Sinclair|Pete]]'s Robot Convention on Facebook in 2020, but later taken down again at the request of Hasbro. Oddly, the deco sheet for Sideswipe alternatively depicts the figure with a never-seen-before head sculpt and with Sideswipe's regular head.

{{note|The Aligned Sideswipe toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 Sideswipe in multiple continuities.}}
: Part of the third wave of 2012 [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|''Generations'']] Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Sideswipe is an extensive retool of ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Jazz (WFC)#Generations|Jazz]], featuring a mostly new vehicle shell, as well as having a new robot head and weapon. His massive "battle cannon" is modeled after a [[Path Blaster]] from ''Fall of Cybertron'', features [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s for the handle and on its side, has a spinning, [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratcheting]] drum, and can extend its barrel. In an undocumented feature, the blaster can mount at an angle onto his vehicle rear, with the back of the blaster sliding into the spoiler. He features 5mm ports for his hands, on his forearms/rear vehicle sides, and on his vehicle roof.

: In [[robot mode]], he features a case of [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux parts]]: The centers of his feet are fake wheels (attached to the legs via ratchet joints) that are hidden in the rear section of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], while his real vehicle mode wheels end up on the sides of his chest (partially obscured by panels) and on his forearms.

: His [[stock photography]] depicts him with blue eyes, but the final product leaves his eyes the same black/dark gray color as his head. ''Creepy.''

: The TakaraTomy version of the figure features a metallic red paint job on the entirety of the car and several other extensive detailing changes. The most notable of these include the metallic red paint, War for Cybertron style Autobot lighting effects all throughout the figure, maroon paint surrounding his striping, silver striping instead of white in car mode, metallic gray legs instead of white, and blue painted eyes instead of cold dead unpainted clear gray eyes. The TakaraTomy version also features the smaller pistol included with Jazz that was omitted from the Hasbro release.

: The new shell parts involved in the conversion from Jazz have a design flaw. Similar to Jazz, Sideswipe's back consists of two parts connected via hinge joint that are intended to lock into place by pegging into the pelvis. Unlike Jazz however, Sideswipe's back parts do not swivel far enough to be capable of latching onto the pelvis, leaving the instructions impossible and his robot mode unstable.

: Unsurprisingly, ''Fall of Cybertron'' Sideswipe was used for several depictions of Generation 1 Sideswipe. The TakaraTomy deco [[Sideswipe (G1)#Transformers: All Spark|appeared]] in the ''[[Transformers: All Spark]]'' manga series. This toy also serves as a rough stand-in for Sideswipe's body in "Season 1" of [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comic series.<ref>[[Sideswipe (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Sideswipe]] was redesigned by [[Andrew Griffith]] in [[The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|''Robots in Disguise'' #1]] based on [[:File:WFC Sideswipe.jpg|the game render]] from ''War for Cybertron'' and ''Fall of Cybertron''. Your mileage may vary on how fitting the toy is.</ref>

:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Sideswipe transforms from robot to Cybertronian car and back. He includes two weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]—the "W-10 Photo-Pulser Proton Launcher", and the "W-5 Gyro Blaster" (which inspired a similar accessory for ''Siege'' [[Six-Gun#Generations|Sixgun]] and [[Cromar#Generations|Cromar]]). Both weapons can combine to form the "RR Gyrofuse Axleswitch Hyper-Blaster." Due to the fact that there are two 5 mm ports on the W-5 blaster accessory, the W-10 can fit into both sides of the weapon. Sideswipe also features "battle damage" paint applications on his waist, shins, and feet, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:He has a rather aggravating issue in that his instructions are rather unclear and may cause you to try bending the knees farther back than you should, resulting in a broken joint and floppy leg. Also, his hood-chest may have trouble pegging into place.

:A jetpack intended for Sideswipe is sold separately as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set.

:Though designated for release in the first quarter of 2019, Sideswipe's wave reached U.S. store shelves in late 2018.

Sideswipe was included in the "Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce" with [[Slamdance (G1)#Generations|Slamdance]] and the Battle Master [[Trenchfoot]]. As with the above figure, Covert Clone Sideswipe features battle damage, weapons, and hard points for "Fire Blasts".

:A preliminary name for this pack was "Firestormer Battle Pack", which showed up in several online listings, and also on Hasbro shipping cases for the set. The set was an [[Amazon]] exclusive in North America, which also label the set as "Final Strike Figure Series: Part 1." In Europe, it was ''supposed'' to be an Amazon exclusive as well, but was never actually stocked, although for some reason it was eventually stocked by ''third party sellers'', in European packaging even.

:"Covert Clone Sideswipe" is a clone of Generation 1 Sideswipe in the scope of ''Siege''.<ref>[https://www.amazon.com.au/TRANSFORMERS-Generations-War-Cybertron-Siege/dp/B07NZ7W14Z "A clone of Sideswipe built for covert operations" Amazon listing]</ref> As such, this characterization is reminiscent of the [[Sideswipe (G2)|''Wings Universe'' Sideswipe clone]]. However, the toy's appearance is closer to the [[Sideswipe (IDW)|second-generation Sideswipe]] from the 2005 IDW continuity. Regardless, this toy would be used as a new body for the original Sideswipe in a [[Volcanicus comic 2|''Generations Selects Special Comic'' chapter]].

{{toydesigner|[[Ken Christiansen]] (concept artist), [[AJ Piejko-Brown]] (packaging)}}

:''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Sideswipe is a retool of his ''Siege'' toy, transforming into an unlicensed approximation of a Lamborghini Countach LP500S. His [[plastic|parts]] cast in red (primarily his vehicle mode parts) and roof/windshield are molded to closely resemble the earlier release of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Sunstreaker]], even having molded notches to replicate Sunstreaker’s elbow cutouts. The missile, which is also cast in red, is a new sculpt, lacking the 5 mm post. The parts that are ''not'' cast in red (the wheels, shoulder cannon, and robot mode parts) remain the same. He also has the blaster first included with ''Siege'' Red Alert, cast in black plastic but painted white.

:The jet pack included with the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Deluxe Centurion Drone is still compatible with ''Kingdom'' Sideswipe.

:Revealed on [https://www.instagram.com/p/CPld9tRrYka/ #TransformersTuesday], Sideswipe was released with [[Skywarp (BW)#Generations|Maximal Skywarp]] as a part of the "Battle Across Time Collection". Though similar to the ''Siege'' "Final Strike Figure Series", being exclusive multi-packs with package art that combines into a larger piece, the "Battle Across Time Collection" label is printed on the box. The two-pack is exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the US, and in the UK on Hasbro Pulse and several online retailers.

:Being two Deluxe Class toys, Amazon priced the set at $44.99 USD, but Hasbro Pulse priced the set at $47.99 USD. Amazon later changed the price to match the other "Battle Across Time Collection" set at $52.99 USD, despite the other set being one [[Mirage (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Deluxe]] and one [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Voyager]] and this set only containing two Deluxe Class toys.

[[File:UnmadeG2SideswipeMockup.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Sunswipe.]]
*In recent years, a mock-up of a '''second''' ''Generation 2'' redeco of the original Sideswipe toy has surfaced. Acquired and [http://www.tf-1.com/articles/other/g2swipe_template.html photographed] by ''Transformers'' rarities-hunter [[Maziar Shahsafdari]], the find joins the ranks of the similarly unmade ''Generation 2'' [[Sandstorm (G2)|"desert Ramjet"]] and [http://www.tf-1.com/articles/other/g2mirage_template.html pink and green Mirage] mock-ups. [[Package art]] for the figure published in ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]'' revealed that it would have had decals of a sunrise/sunset on the vehicle mode hood and doors.
*During the 1990s, another company held the "Sideswipe" [[trademark]] in the "toys" field, even though Hasbro still released two toys using that name as part of the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]] line (it's unclear if this resulted in any legal repercussions for Hasbro). When Hasbro finally managed to reclaim the name for the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|''Robots in Disguise'' line]], the name was now rendered as "[[Side Swipe (RID)|Side Swipe]]", in two words, for whatever reason. The next two toys to spell "Sideswipe" as one word again were the [[OTFCC 2003]] [[exclusive]]<ref name="otfccsideswipe">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/exclusives/sideswipe/485/ OTFCC 2003 Sideswipe], named "Sideswipe" on his own packaging.</ref> and the ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Super-Con]].<ref name="armadasideswipe1">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/toys/Armada/Autobots/Side+Swipe/side1.jpg.html ''Armada'' Side Swipe in original packaging], named "Sideswipe".</ref> However, the OTFCC figure was referred to as "Side Swipe" when featured as a [[cross-sell]] on the packaging for the OTFCC 2003 [[Shadow Striker (Universe)|Shadow Striker]]/[[Roulette (Universe)|Roulette]] two-pack,<ref name="otfccvipersisters">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/exclusives/shadow-striker/483/1/10/ Cross-sell on the OTFCC 2003 Shadow Striker/Roulette two-pack's packaging], identifying Sideswipe as "Side Swipe".</ref> whereas the "[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Unicron Battles]]-style packaging redesign for the ''Armada'' figure saw the name changed to "Side Swipe" on the name insert as well.<ref name="armadasideswipe2">[http://www.shmax.com/product_details/835/sideswipe_with_nightbeat ''Armada'' Side Swipe in "Unicron Battles" packaging], named "Side Swipe".</ref> Hasbro ''finally'' decided to re-file the name "Sideswipe" (as one word) as a trademark in 2008, presumably because a [[Sideswipe (Movie)|character]] in the upcoming movie ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and the accompanying [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|toy line]] was going to sport that name, and Hasbro were using that as an opportunity to re-introduce the spelling of the name as one word. As a result, the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Deluxe Class toy was the first toy to "properly" sport the name "Sideswipe" as one word. Oddly enough, in 2012, Hasbro re-filed "Side Swipe", along with several other old trademarks.<ref name="swipe2012">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys-products-30/latest-hasbro-transformers-trademarks-tow-line-armorhide-rollbar-side-swipe-175521/ Hasbro re-files old trademarks]</ref>
*[[Fun Publications]] considered making a ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Sideswipe (as a straight redeco of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe Class [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]]), but ultimately shelved this idea in favor of other products.

Grimlock (RID 2015)

2023-03-17T22:43:39Z

MinerEdgar: /* Transformers Adventure Gum */ added image, removed reference to the line being new

{{faction|decepticon|autobot|rescuebot|hofsilver}}
{{disambig3.5|the ''Robots in Disguise'' Dinobot|the ''Fall of Cybertron'' Dinobot|Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock}}
:''Grimlock is a [[Decepticon]]-turned-[[Autobot]] [[Dinobot (RID)|Dinobot]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:Grimlock-RID2015promorender.jpg|thumb|upright=1.95|Another [[Grimlock (RID 2001)|''Robots in Disguise'' Grimlock]] who is green and can speak in full sentences? Well, at least this time he turns into a dinosaur.]]

'''Grimlock''' is a wild card among the Autobots. Huge and powerful, he's also headstrong and reckless. He transforms into a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', a powerful form that's essentially a wrecking ball on two legs. It's not the subtlest [[alternate mode]] around, but Grimlock isn't one for subtlety.

Grimlock's what you might call a 'bot of action; he has little patience for complicated strategies and prefers to think of plans on the fly. Of course, his usual "plan" starts and stops at "punch it". He's not a particularly ''skilled'' fighter, eschewing guns and blasters in favor of his own fists, but when you're a heavy-hitting [[Dinobot (RID)|Dinobot]], sheer force is often all you need to get the job done. Grimlock's fights involve a lot of collateral damage, and the big guy's not the brightest 'bot around - he's a bit clumsy and has a tendency to both underestimate ''and'' overestimate his own strength. Even so, [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] recognizes that the myriad advantages of having a robotic dinosaur on their side outweigh the downsides, and Grimlock is always excited at the prospect of smashing up some of his monstrous jailmates from his days aboard the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]''.

Although his raw strength is enough to head most problems off at the pass, Grimlock's impulsiveness and often childlike behavior has sometimes landed him in trouble, especially after he bites off more than he can chew. Fortunately, he's tough and tenacious enough to fight his way right back out again. There is little he fears, but since coming to [[Earth]] Grimlock has developed a new phobia—a mortal dread of kittens.

Sometimes he works with the [[Mini-Con]] [[Volcano (RID)|Volcano]]. He can also combine with either [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] to form [[Primelock]] or with [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] to form [[Bumblegrim]], and he can combine even further with the rest of the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] to form [[Ultra Bee]], though he wishes he wasn't always stuck being the combiner's legs.

In the years since his adventures with the Bee Team, he's found himself a new role as a teacher at the [[Rescue Bot Training Center|Rescue Bot Training Academy]], giving special attention to his young mentee [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]].

[[File:PilotPart2 Grimlock dino mode.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Me Grimlock look good in green!]]
Grimlock was arrested for causing severe property damage {{storylink|True Colors}} and imprisoned in a [[stasis pod|stasis cell]] aboard the prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]''. After the ship crash-landed on Earth, his was one of the only stasis cells to remain largely intact after the impact, although the cell's actual "stasis" function was disabled. While Bumblebee, [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] tangled with the Decepticon criminal [[Underbite]], Grimlock managed to partially break free of his cell, and enthusiastically tried to join in the fight. Before he could do so, he was restrained by [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]], who zapped him with a taser attachment. Eventually, Grimlock managed to goad Underbite into a rage to help "free" him. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} Grimlock pursued the Decepticon to a scrapyard, though Underbite proved too much for him to handle. Joining up with [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s team, Grimlock enthusiastically helped bring Underbite in, and after they succeeded, Bumblebee put Grimlock on probation. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 2)}}

[[File:TrustExercises boating.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Sailing for adventure on the big blue wet thing.]]

Grimlock was the only member of Bumblebee's team to successfully complete the trust exercises, and as a result Bumblebee took him to investigate an attack on the oil tanker ''[[Windward]]''. The pair tussled with [[Hammerstrike (RID)|Hammerstrike]], though Grimlock ended up stranded at the bottom of the sea. The duo subsequently tracked the Decepticon to a nearby oil refinery and managed to catch him in a barrel. {{storylink|Trust Exercises}} Grimlock was instrumental in capturing the Decepticon [[Bisk (RID)|Bisk]]. Later, he joined in the hunt for [[Chop Shop (RID)|Chop Shop]] and wound up on guard duty. He decided to interfere anyway, and wound up getting stung into submission by Chop Shop's various components. His conspicuous alternate mode meant that he couldn't join in on the next attempt to bring in Chop Shop, so he wound up keeping [[Russell Clay|Russell]] company at the scrapyard. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RID)|More than Meets the Eye}}

When the team split up to search the [[Crown City Museum of Natural History and Sciences|Crown City museum]] for a Decepticon, Grimlock briefly tangled with [[Terrashock]] in a planetarium, but came off second best. Bumblebee eventually came up with a way to hunt the Decepticon on his own terms, which Grimlock enjoyed immensely. {{storylink|W.W.O.D.?}} Trying to protect a generator from [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]], Grimlock ended up being left on guard by himself and was trounced by the Decepticon. Grimlock was knocked silly, suddenly believing he could fly, and had to be helped back to the scrapyard by Strongarm. {{storylink|As the Kospego Commands!}}

[[File:AsTheKospegoCommands Grimlock poised and ready.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Me Grimlock get ready to rumble!]]

Grimlock's attempts to disguise his beast mode as a truck were less than successful, resulting in him being left at the scrapyard when Bee and the others were hunting for [[Filch]] near Crown City. It later turned out they needed him after all, but only to hold up a bridge. {{storylink|Collect 'Em All}} A [[cyber-tick]] named [[Minitron]] took control of Grimlock, forcing him to fight his friends and then make off with Underbite's stasis pod. The other Autobots followed him to [[Crown River Dam]] where Minitron met with [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]. Although Minitron tried to goad the Autobots into attacking one another, Grimlock managed to pin him down and subdue him. As a reward, Grimlock was formally inducted into the Autobot ranks. {{storylink|True Colors}}

While Bumblebee and Strongarm were away on a mission, Sideswipe and Grimlock got to be spectators for a feud between Fixit and Denny. {{storylink|Rumble in the Jungle}} After [[Ped (RID)|Ped]] raided the Bots' energon supply, the others left Grimlock to guard what was left, and went to hunt the Decepticon. Later as they attempted to trap Ped, Grimlock himself became trapped at the bottom of a pit Ped dug. {{storylink|Can You Dig It?}} After a run-in with [[Quillfire (RID)|Quillfire]] left Bumblebee with reduced maturity, Strongarm and Grimlock went to hunt the Decepticon in a carnival, only to be joined by their leader. Grimlock got used as a steed and experienced a carnival ride before Quillfire was captured. {{storylink|Adventures in Bumblebee-Sitting!}}

When [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] and [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] came to Earth to collect the bounty on Bumblebee, Grimlock was captured by the Decepticon to use as a ransom along with the other Autobots. {{storylink|Hunting Season}} As Bumblebee's team pursued [[Malodor]] and three other [[Skunkticon]]s, Grimlock found himself repeatedly sprayed with their debilitating toxin, and was briefly taken hostage by the Decepticon quartet. He helped capture the Skunkticons, but was again sprayed with toxin in the process. {{storylink|Out of Focus}}

The Autobots encountered the Decepticon [[Clampdown (RID)|Clampdown]], whom Grimlock found extremely creepy. The Autobots were led to tangle with Steeljaw's gang. Grimlock once again battled Underbite, and managed to gain the upper hand by force-feeding the [[Chompazoid]] plastic. The Decepticons were subdued and briefly captured until Steeljaw slipped his cuffs and caused a distraction. While Grimlock and the other Autobots were preoccupied with a runaway garbage barge, the Decepticons escaped. {{storylink|Sideways (episode)|Sideways}}

[[file:RobotsHaveNightmares Grimlock dream.jpg|thumb|right|300px|For rescuing a stray cat from a truck, Grimlock was forced to marry the Cat Prince.]]

Grimlock joined Russel for a night of scary movies, and unsuccessfully tried to frighten the young human, who claimed not to be afraid of anything. Along with the rest of the Autobots, he later travelled to a local cave system in search of [[Nightstrike]]. The Decepticon got the drop on the team and incapacitated all of them with his fear-inducing scream, forcing Grimlock to have nightmares about kittens. Although the Autobots escaped and managed to capture Nightstrike, Grimlock was still jumpy in spite of his claims to the contrary, and quickly fled at the sight of a local stray cat. {{storylink|Even Robots Have Nightmares}}

Grimlock was later dispatched to the Crown City subway system to track down another Decepticon contact, although Strongarm was less than enthused about having to tow the Dinobot all the way there. By the time they had arrived, they discovered that the demented scientist [[Vertebreak (RID)|Vertebreak]], had stolen Sideswipe's body, and was all too eager to try it out on the Autobots. Strongarm fought Vertebreak, but Grimlock was held up by passing trains. The Autobots eventually manage to take in Vertebreak, but Grimlock was too slow to outrun the oncoming train, forcing the other wheeled Autobots to carry him and the Decepticon to safety. {{storylink|Some Body, Any Body}}

Russell explained to Grimlock about the notion of "paying it forward", which confused Grimlock. With the help of the newly arrived Drift and his Mini-Cons, Grimlock helped to recapture a tank that had been commandeered by an escaped Quillfire and Springload... and deliberately made sure not to catch either of the falling Decepticons. {{storylink|One of Our Mini-Cons Is Missing}}

During a training exercise, Grimlock was injured by a falling piece of debris. Feeling that he was "the muscle" of the team and couldn't let his teammates down, Grimlock did his best to hide the injury from Bumblebee. This would eventually have repercussions when the team went underwater in pursuit of [[Octopunch (RID)|Octopunch]], who had broken into an abandoned Cybertronian spaceship. The Dinobot steadily grew weaker and less focused, unable to fight off the ship's various security measures. Eventually, Grimlock told Bumblebee the truth about the injury,and on returning to base he was patched up by Fixit. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RID)|Deep Trouble}}

[[File:TFRIDTheChampGrimlockKick.jpg|thumb|left|300px|He crimefighting covers up a basic insecurity.]]

Grimlock's increasingly brazen shows of strength did not have the desired effect; one stunt wound up almost injuring Russell. When the other Autobots headed into Crown City in pursuit of [[Groundpounder (RID)|Groundpounder]] and [[Headlock (RID)|Headlock]], Grimlock's dinosaur alternate mode meant that he couldn't tag along. When the [[GroundBridge]] malfunctioned, however, he got his chance. With a rollcage welded to his back, Grimlock posed as "Dino-Bash", a human-built robot piloted by Denny, and challenged Groundpounder in a demolition derby at the Crown City [[Rumbledome]]. Groundpounder was eager to tangle with a real Dinobot, and initially gained the upper hand. Grimlock- with Fixit's assistance- was able to nail Groundpounder with his signature cannonball move... but not without almost bringing down the entire arena. {{storylink|The Champ}}

After Fixit reverted to his sentry programming, Grimlock was menaced by the various security measures around the scrapyard. Things were compounded by the return of Chop Shop, although Grimlock helped to bring in the Decepticon thief once again. {{storylink|The Trouble with Fixit}} Grimlock joined the gang to investigate a Decepticon signal that belonged to [[Kickback (RID)|Kickback]]. After returning to base, they discovered that Steeljaw had broken in and taken Fixit and the humans hostage. In the ensuing fight, Grimlock easily trounced Clampdown with a few well-placed tail smacks. {{storylink|Lockout}}

[[File:SimilarlyDifferent Grimlock catches rubble.jpg|thumb|right|380px|"Om..."]]
Grimlock eventually grew bored with his routine duties, and yearned for the days when he could simply smash whatever he wanted to. While on patrol he encountered [[Scowl (RID)|Scowl]], another Dinobot. The duo happily destroyed an old demolition site, but Grimlock realized that he had to do the right thing and arrest Scowl. Scowl managed to win him over and Grimlock let him walk free, on the condition that he never harm a human. Unfortunately for Grimlock, Scowl was actually one of Thunderhoof's old goons, and the Autobots rolled out to bring him in. Grimlock had to fight against a vengeful Scowl at a train station, where he helped redirect an oncoming train, and later at a spa, where he finally managed to overcome the other Dinobot with the help of a stone sculpture. Grimlock was saddened by the outcome of the fight, and mused that Scowl had never intended to change his violent ways. {{storylink|Similarly Different}}

The Autobots discovered [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]], a charismatic 'bot who had been sent to Earth by [[Primus]] eons ago. With their ranks temporarily bolstered, Grimlock helped the team go after [[Zizza]], discovering her hiding spot at a nearby airport and then distracting her mind-controlled human pilots. {{storylink|The Buzz on Windblade}} Grimlock began feeling homesick for Cybertron and the [[Acid Wastes]]. Bumblebee tried to cheer up the team by taking them to [[Edmondville]], where they discovered the Decepticon [[Shifter]] [[Pseudo]]. Although Pseudo temporarily masqueraded as Grimlock, the team were able to spot the imposter and recapture him. {{Storylink|Ghosts and Impostors}}

After Strongarm and Sideswipe were kidnapped by Decepticons, Grimlock joined the remaining Autobots and Windblade for a raid on their hideout. When the Decepticons absconded to the [[Crown City Colossus]] with their hostages, Grimlock took the direct route by travelling underwater, although he was barred from destroying the portal by Clampdown. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}} Now with [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] on the loose, Grimlock teamed up with his allies- including a reborn Optimus Prime - against Megatronus and the other Decepticons. Grimlock managed to distract Megatronus long enough for the other Autobots to bring down part of the statue on their foe. In the aftermath, Grimlock opted to stay on Earth with the rest of the team. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}}

Grimlock was alarmed when [[Micronus Prime|Micronus]] projected a vision on his flank. Following a GroundBridge explosion, Grimlock helped (badly) to clear up and along with Bumblebee and Strongarm, was defeated by [[Overload (RID)|Overload]] when the Decepticon arrived at the scrapyard. {{storylink|Overloaded, Part 1}} After tracking Overload to a parking lot, the team split up with Grimlock and Strongarm trying to track the Cyclone Mini-Cons. They soon realized they'd actually been tracking humans, however Grimlock came up with a plan that let them maintain their cover. They caught up with Bumblebee in time to help take Overload back to base. {{storylink|Overloaded, Part 2}}

[[File:Suspended Grimlock rolls out.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot. So my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts. I must be a creature of the Cretaceous, green, terrible...]]
Despite Strongarm's coaching, Grimlock was unable to establish the same level of teamwork with her that she'd had with Sideswipe, leading to them bungling the capture of [[Saberhorn]]. They eventually managed to successfully work together at the steel mill, however Grimlock ended up throwing Saberhorn through a wall and inadvertently allowing the Decepticon to escape. {{storylink|Metal Meltdown}} Grimlock took part in the pursuit of [[Crazybolt (RID)|Crazybolt]] and [[Slicedice]], during which he was able to help save some motorists accidentally endangered by Strongarm. He later helped Bumblebee try to deal with a fire caused by the two Cons, but they ended up requiring Strongarm's help to rescue some humans. {{storylink|Suspended}}

[[File:Brainpower-datacylindergonewrong.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Grimlock reads YouTube comments.]]
Bumblebee, Strongarm, and Grimlock captured the Mini-Con [[Torpor]], though the mission was nearly botched when Grimlock stumbled in on the other two Autobots as they strategised, tipping their target off to their whereabouts. Feeling that the other Autobots didn't rate his intelligence, Grimlock got Fixit's help him in trying to pass the police academy entrance exam, so that he could prove he was at least smart enough to enter the same fancy school that Strongarm had gone to. However, a mishap resulted in Grimlock downloading the entire content of a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]] into his brain. Though it greatly increased his intelligence, it also meant the eventual degradation of his neural pathways and as he joined in the hunt for [[Simacore]], he soon found his new knowledge left him unable to effectively fight. Fixit was able to reverse the process, draining his intelligence away in time for him to defeat Simacore and rescue Bumblebee and Strongarm from a particle accelerator. {{storylink|Brainpower}}

When a wounded Steeljaw turned up at the scrapyard, Bumblebee, Strongarm and Grimlock followed the trail of energon he'd left to a disused drive in where they encountered [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]], Crazybolt, and Slicedice. Though Grimlock was beaten down at first, he and Bumblebee were able to defeat and capture them after the latter Autobot distracted the enemy with a magic trick he had learned from Russel, allowing Grimlock to get a second wind. {{storylink|Misdirection}}

[[File:Impounded-grimlocksdisguise.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Robots in Disguise Grimlock disguised as [[Grimlock (RID 2001)|Robots in Disguise Grimlock]].]]
Grimlock grew increasingly bored as the Autobots hunted down a cable in a shipping yard, one of the many components the Decepticons were gathering for their current machinations. He managed to find it, shortly before he was blasted by Springload, and then inadvertently by Bumblebee. The mission a bust, the entire team were left mentally drained after having failed to decipher the Decepticons' motives. Grimlock turned down staking out a [[Rear Axle]] concert, not sharing Bumblebee's enthusiasm for the band, when their next lead pointed to it being the Decepticons' next target. Instead, he practiced his sculpture (which simply involved smashing big rocks into smaller rocks). Bumblebee called for back-up when he encountered Bisk on the mission, and Grimlock joined Strongarm in trying to come to help, only for them to be held up by traffic. {{storylink|Bumblebee's Night Off}} When Grimlock almost blew the Autobots' cover by landing in the middle of a crowd while trying to apprehend [[Silverhound]], Bumblebee banned him from going on missions. Fixit came up with a crane disguise for Grimlock to use, and the pair headed out after Bumblebee and Strongarm left to track down Quillfire. Passing himself off as a "Dino Crane," designed to look as it did because "children love dinosaurs," Fixit and Grimlock caught up to their commander and were able to help him and Strongarm capture Quillfire. Bumblebee gave Grimlock's new disguise his approval, allowing him once more to go back into the field. {{storylink|Impounded}}

After an incident with the GroundBridge brought [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] to Earth, Strongarm and Grimlock were knocked out by the Decepticon. They recovered, only to be warped away from the junkyard alongside [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] by a portal created by Soundwave. Working together, Grimlock and Strongarm were able to shut down Laserbeak, then rushed back to the rest of the team. They arrived just as Denny, Fixit, Russel, and Bumblebee managed to get Soundwave back into the [[shadowzone (dimension)|shadowzone]], and threw the Decepticon Mini-Con back into the other dimension after its master. {{storylink|Portals}} Following another mission, Grimlock joined the stealth team via the GroundBridge, and carried an injured Drift back to base. {{storylink|Graduation Exercises}}

After a chance encounter resulted in [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] joining the team, the Autobots got a lead to the location of the group of Decepticons; an escapee Mini-Con called [[Toolbox]]. They used a ruse to infiltrate the crashed ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' which the Decepticons were using as their "Decepticon Island," during which Grimlock pretended to be a Decepticon returning with Autobot prisoners. Though they made good grounds once inside the ship, one of the other slave Mini-Cons blurted out a greeting to Toolbox upon seeing him returned, betraying the Autobots' presence. Grimlock's team were surrounded by the bulk of the Alchemor's remaining Decepticons soon afterwards. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} Thanks to Windblade providing them with an impromptu distraction, the rest of the Autobots were able to make a break for it and split up into smaller groups. Strongarm, Grimlock, and Sideswipe were sent to try and free the Mini-Cons being held captive by the Decepticons. They ended up in a communications room where they encountered Groundpounder and Thunderhoof. Still holding a grudge against Grimlock since their last encounter, Groundpounder beat down the Dinobot while Thunderhoof dealt with the other two Autobots. Sideswipe eventually managed to incapacitate the Decepticons by using nearby equipment to broadcast a high-frequency signal, holding onto consciousness for seconds longer than the Decepticons. After using the communications equipment to free the Mini-Cons, the trio escaped the ship before the [[cryo-gas]] bomb froze everyone aboard.

With the Decepticon threat now finally dealt with, several Autobots decided to head back to their homeworld. Grimlock was not among them, choosing instead to stay behind with Bumblebee on Earth to set up a permanent base of operations, should any more peril befall the planet. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}} When news of the Bee Team's exploits reached Cybertron, Grimlock became one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

Bumblebee took his team on a tour of interesting locations on Earth, culminating in them visiting the remains of [[Autobot Outpost Omega One]], only to find a strange bomb had been set up to detonate. Grimlock was partnered with Strongarm when the team split up, only to end up stepping on a mine. He was unable to move for fear of setting the mine off, until Bumblebee found him and revealed that the "mine" was just an old armor buffer. {{storylink|History Lessons}} When Bumblebee split up the team to search sites of Cybertronian significance, Grimlock was assigned look in western [[China]]. The team was accidentally bridged back to the scrapyard instead of [[Mount St. Hilary]] because Denny and Russell didn't know what they were doing. {{storylink|Strongarm's Big Score}}

[[File:TRID S2 E16 PL MSS.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The Lobster Mobster strikes again.]]
After one too many accidents, Grimlock was disgruntled when Bumblebee only assigned him one mission in the search for Cybertronian relics. During his mission, he encountered Brother [[Gunter]], who set about teaching him patience via the medium of pretzel manufacture. [[Thermidor]] and [[Tricerashot]] turned up at the monastery, resulting in Grimlock calling in the rest of the team, however ultimately it was the patience he'd learned that allowed Grimlock to defeat the scavenger. {{storylink|Pretzel Logic}}

When Team Bee found a [[high energy pulse generator]] in [[Egypt]], Grimlock carried it back to the scrapyard using his crane mode, however the device was destroyed anyway when it threatened to fry their brains. Following an invasion of the scrapyard by the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, the team lost both their own Mini-Cons and their leader, after they were abducted by [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Mighty Big Trouble}} Joined by Optimus, the team split up to search for Starscream. Grimlock was first on the scene when Strongarm and Sideswipe ran into the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, but the ensuing hostilities ended when the Mini-Cons recognized Optimus, and the two groups teamed up. A short time later, they ran into the Scavengers, and then during the fight with them, the Mini-Cons were captured by Starscream. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}} [[File:TRID S2 E19 W SC 1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Say hello to his little friend!]] Grimlock linked with Tricerashot, who'd avoided being captured, and took out the Scavengers. He and the rest of the team located Starscream's ship, and during the ensuing battle with the Decepticons, they were knocked out by Starscream. They eventually managed to defeat Starscream, despite him successfully merging with the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, by dragging him down into range of Fixit's signal so he could be de-merged. After farewelling Optimus and the Mini-Cons, Team Bee split up to search more Cybertronian sites. {{storylink|Worthy}}

Without any Decepticons to punch, Grimlock passed his time playing tic-tac-toe with his own tail. He joined Bumblebee and Drift as they traveled to [[Grand Valley]] to face a Decepticon. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 1)}} Grimlock found himself at a disadvantage as he was unable to outrun [[Heatseeker]]'s guided missiles, but he managed to serve as a distraction for Bumblebee and Drift to move in. The mission ended with the entire team somehow being merged into one robot, though they were unconscious at the time. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 2)}}

[[File:TRID S3 E3 D SC 1.jpg|thumb|right|250px|How To Train Your Dinobot.]]
Impressed by the abilities of Drift's pupils, Grimlock decided to become Drift's "poodle" too. As the team attempted to capture [[Crustacion]] in [[Antarctica]], Grimlock's attempts to put Drift's teachings into practice were surprisingly successful, and he was instrumental in capturing the 'Con. {{storylink|Defrosted}} Grimlock and the rest of the team joined up with the [[Rescue Bot]] [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] as they attempted to recapture [[Ragebyte]]. {{storylink|Blurred}}

Grimlock, along with the rest of the team, found himself drawn to possess the [[Sphere of Doradus]] thanks to the strange energies it gave off. He was later able to overcome this desire thanks to his love of punching, and took part in the capture of Springload. {{storylink|Sphere of Influence}} Grimlock was part of a mission to [[West Rock]], and used his crane disguise to block the city's only exit to prevent [[Dragstrip (WFC)|Drag Strip]] and [[Wildbreak]] escaping. {{storylink|Bee Cool}}

During another attempt to capture Drag Strip, a methane explosion caused the team to again merge into a giant robot, though Grimlock was disappointed to find he was the legs. Afterwards, the team had to cope with having two Sideswipes as they continued to try to get back the relic Drag Strip had stolen. {{storylink|The Great Divide}} Grimlock and the rest of the team captured three Decepticon brothers as a result of Strongarm employing her detective skills. {{storylink|Get a Clue}}

[[File:RiD2015 Out of the Shadows Sidelock.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"The bottom. AGAIN."]]
Grimlock and Sideswipe were temporarily [[Sidelock|fused together]] during another of Fixit's combiner experiments. They and the rest of the team helped Drift recover his two Mini-Cons students after they were kidnapped by the Decepticon [[Shadow Raker]]. {{storylink|Out of the Shadows}} Another of Fixit's combiner experiments led to the Autobots temporarily switching bodies. Grimlock reveled in having Drift's vehicle mode, and gleefully took part in a road race in an attempt to stop the Stunticons, though he had difficulty working with Drift's Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Disordered Personalities}}

The team attempted to help Strongarm's friend [[Nightra]] after she turned up apparently being pursued by [[Blastwave]], only to discover that Nightra was the criminal being hunted while Blastwave an Autobot bounty hunter. When the deception was exposed aboard [[Blastwave's ship]], Grimlock put his all into hanging onto the rest of the team as they were nearly blown out of a cargo bay, before he managed to close the bay door. {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}} Grimlock developed an interest in art and started off by making a sculpture of Strongarm. {{storylink|The Golden Knight}}

[[File:TRID S3 E13 TFA MSS.jpg|thumb|right|250px|WOAH-OHHHH!]]
After allowing Fixit to experiment on him, Grimlock developed uncontrollable super speed. Despite Bumblebee restricting him to base, Grimlock - inspired by Russell's reading a ''[[Captain Plasma Beam]]'' comic to him - believed he could be an effective superhero and joined in on a mission to recapture Simacore. This didn't go well, but he did eventually successfully defeat the Con, and he took pride in Simacore's having declared him to be the Orangucon's "greatest foe". {{storylink|The Fastest Bot Alive!}}

Grimlock, no longer with the aid of super-speed, took part in a mission to prevent the Stunticons from stealing the power source for a high-speed maglev train. {{storylink|Railroad Rage}} Grimlock and the rest of the team finally managed to combine into [[Ultra Bee]] during another mission against the Stunticons. {{storylink|Combine and Conquer}} A message from Windblade sent the team to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], where they again combined and managed to defeat the Stunticons once and for all. {{storylink|Moon Breaker}}

[[File:TRID E 63 Grimlock with rocks.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Me Grimlock love to smash rocks.]]
Russell and Grimlock began making video diaries to keep the absent Drift up-to-date. Their latest effort was interrupted by an attack which drove the Autobots from the scrapyard and forced them to seek refuge in the nearby cave system. Decepticon signals led them to the culprits — Steeljaw and his pack, and the ensuring battle endangered Crown River Dam. {{storylink|Exiles}} With the Autobots finding the cramped quarters of the caves inconvenient, Denny and Russell got Grimlock to enlarge it using his rock-smashing skills. {{Storylink|Breathing Room}} Left on monitor duty, Grimlock was distracted and missed the detection of some Decepticon signals. As a result, he became hyper-sensitive about remaining professional and not having fun on the job, which almost resulted in the Decepticons getting away with some nuclear waste until Sideswipe snapped him out of it. {{storylink|Prepare for Departure}} Grimlock took part in a mission which resulted in the defeat and capture of (most of) Steeljaw's pack at the nuclear plant. {{storylink|Prisoner Principles}}

{{bigquote|Good call, Bulkhead. Smashing stuff really does relax me.|Grimlock|[[Sick as a Bot]]}}
[[File:SickAsABot Grimlock thinking.jpg|thumb|250px|right|All his plans are ''smashing!'']]
Grimlock took part in the defeat of Soundwave, preventing the Decepticon from irradiating the entire planet. He later dressed up as "the monster from Dimension Aaargh" for Sideswipe's performance of ''[[Showcase of Shivers]]''. {{storylink|Collateral Damage}} The Autobots returned to the scrapyard and Grimlock was tasked with securing the prisoners, only to let Underbite escape. He and the other Autobots were forced to chase the 'Con, who randomly teleported thanks to a chunk of space bridge he'd eaten. {{storylink|Something He Ate}} After Bumblebee, Strongarm and Sideswipe were infected with a nanovirus, Grimlock rushed off to try to capture the Decepticon. He only succeeded once the newly arrived [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] helped him slow down and come up with a plan. {{storylink|Sick as a Bot}}

During a pursuit of Steeljaw, Grimlock and the others found themselves arrested by [[Dropforge]]. They were able to escape with Denny and Russell's help and both foiled Steeljaw's plan, and freed Dropforge from the mind control signal he was being controlled by. {{storylink|Five Fugitives}} Optimus arrived once more, sending Grimlock and the rest of the team to Cybertron where the Autobot council were using mind control on the population. On arrival, the Autobots were surrounded by security, {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}} however with the help of Dropforge and Steeljaw, they were able to gain entry to the [[High Council Tower]]. After they discovered the council were actually Decepticons, Grimlock decided the best way to eliminate the mind control was to smash everything. He then took on [[Treadshock]] and managed to knock him out with a tail smash. A battle ensued with the Autobots and Decepticons taking on their [[Galvatronus (RID)|combined forms]] for a last ditch struggle for Cybertron, and the Bee Team eventually prevailed. In the aftermath, Grimlock and the others returned to Earth as newly appointed ambassadors and ended up chasing after Steeljaw again. {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}}

Grimlock was once a major [[Cube (sport)|Cube]] star under the name '''Steelwall'''. During his career as a player, he won MVP at the 217th Cybertron All-Bot Bowl. {{storylink|Trouble Cubed}} [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]] once bet Grimlock couldn't eat thirty seven rocks, but Grimlock ate forty of them. {{storylink|Dino-mite Duo}}

Grimlock joined the [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] as a new teacher, though as a result they started going through the gym equipment a lot faster. Unlike the other recruits, [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] was initially terrified of the Dinobot, skipping out on the class; however, when he later realized Grimlock was afraid of [[Mister Pettypaws]], he overcame his own fear. {{storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}}

Grimlock later took the recruits (minus Hoist) to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]]. However, the group accidentally let a triceratops back through the [[GroundBridge]]. They were forced to return the hard way, with [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] towing Grimlock on some improvised water skis, but Hoist had already overcome his fear of dinosaurs and dealt with the situation by the time they got back. {{storylink|Dino Hard}}

After catching [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] sneaking in late to class, Chase elected to have the recruits participate in stealth training, pairing the partner-less Hot Shot with Grimlock. Hot Shot was skeptical of Grimlock's methods and doubted the large Dinobot could be at all stealthy, leading him to ditch the professor early on. However, Grimlock proved him wrong by completing the exercise while successfully evading Chase's optics, earning Hot Shot's respect. {{storylink|Buddy Cop}}

Heatwave later had the Dinobot fill in for him at the desk while he was away, though begrudgingly, he had to reveal himself in public to fool the witnesses of Medix's confused mishaps.{{storylink|Monster Savings}}

As part of the recruits' final test, Grimlock was picked to be the rescue victim whom the teachers had to carry in a relay race. His size resulted in several unfortunate mishaps, though in the final round it was Hot Shot exploiting his Gatophobia that lost the teachers their victory. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}}

For year two, Grimlock was selected to mentor Hoist, though his expression of joy at the news sent the recruit scurrying away in fear. {{storylink|Back to School}} Hoist did his best to avoid Grimlock, but when they were assigned a mission together, Grimlock tracked him down. They joined Grimlock's old friends [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]] and [[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]] aiming to retrieve a crashed spacecraft. When the three Dinobots' efforts threatened to bring a cliff down on a nearby town, Hoist came up with an alternate plan, and Grimlock realized he'd learned something from the student. {{storylink|Mission Dinobot}} He had Hoist undergo Dinobot sensitivity training and undertook a mission to rescue kittens from a mine. {{storylink|In Training}}

Heatwave had Grimlock cover for him for a few days, and so Grimlock moved a bunch of his stuff into the office. This included a classic Cube from Grimlock's Cube playing days, which Hot Shot promptly borrowed without permission. The recruits managed to lose the Cube in [[Milford]], forcing them to come to Grimlock for help, and once the Cube was safely recaptured, he promised to tell them all about his Cube days while Hot Shot did chores as punishment. {{Storylink|Trouble Cubed}} Grimlock found coming up with activities a struggle, however when Hoist discovered an old newspaper article that pointed to an energon cache in an old mine, he got Heatwave to approve a field trip to investigate. Grimlock called in Sludge and Snarl to help search, however though the Dinobots located the energon, they also caused the mine to cave in, and they had to follow Hoist's plan to extract themselves. {{storylink|The Great Energon Rush}}

Grimlock took part in the rescue of Doc Greene and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] when a force field dome trapped the two humans in the lab. {{storylink|Partners (RBA)|Partners}} Hoist consulted Grimlock when he was trying to decide on a new alternate mode, which unsurprisingly resulted in Hoist picking a dinosaur mode. {{storylink|Big Wheels}} Grimlock took part in a "rescue-athon" paired with Hoist. {{storylink|First Responder}}

When a sandstone butte was in danger of falling on a tree on Dino Island, Grimlock had the recruits called in to help him, Sludge and Snarl deal with the problem. They were able to safely topple the butte away from the tree. {{storylink|Bot Blog}} When Hoist accused Snarl and Sludge of messing up the Academy, Grimlock sentenced them to guard assignment on a distant gas giant, though it later turned out they were innocent. {{storylink|Things That Go Bot In The Night}} Grimlock spotted Hoist as the latter lifted weights. When Whirl needed a spotter for her trip to the [[Amazon]], Grimlock set her up with tracker [[Slash (RBA)|Slash]]. {{storylink|The Tracker}}

Grimlock joined Heatwave and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] in helping with an imminent meteor strike on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. {{storylink|Dino-mite Duo}} When the recruits were being too quiet to be effective during their rescues, Grimlock encouraged them to be more assertive and took them on a trip to the planet [[Krimol]]... where they discovered that being loud aggravated the local wildlife. {{storylink|Don't Be Alarmed}}

Grimlock was among the observers as the recruits undertook their final test of year two. He promised the "dance off to end all dance offs" would take place during the party aboard [[Citadel Secundus]], however he was put into stasis lock when an asteroid hit the Titan and created an anti-energon field. {{storylink|Space Party}} He and the rest of the teaching staff were revived after Secundus was landed safely on Earth, and attended the recruits' graduation ceremony. {{storylink|Crash Of The Titan}}

While checking on a stasis pod with Strongarm, Grimlock stomped on a forest fire that had broken out. He attempted to track [[Flamefeather (RID)|Flamefeather]] until Bumblebee arrived and pointed them in the direction of the [[Fun-A-Rama]] amusement park. There, they managed to track down the Decepticon and capture him (Grimlock covertly stomped him!) however when the morning crowds arrived, Grimlock was forced to pretend to be a dinosaur statue for sixteen hours to avoid blowing the Autobots' cover. {{storylink|Fire, When Ready!}} During a training exercise, Grimlock cheerfully smooshed Sideswipe by executing a "Dinopile". After taking part in a team takedown of [[Spinhead]], he repeated the maneuver on the Decepticon. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 1|Robots in Disguise #1}}

Grimlock and Sideswipe aided in the capture of [[Transit (RID)|Transit]] by directing the Decepticon into a traffic jam engineered by Fixit. During a visit by [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]]'s team, Grimlock took part in a plan to capture [[Clipshade]], though his contribution ended up with him landing on top of Sideswipe again. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 2|Robots in Disguise #2}}

After establishing the location of [[Overhead]], Grimlock and the rest of the team managed to take the Decepticon down, though not before Grimlock had suffered a few bumps and accidentally worn a hat. After Overhead supplied them with a distress beacon she claimed would bring the leader of the [[Cybercomrade Sect]], Bumblebee and Grimlock set a trap, only to encounter Clipshade, who it turned out was an Autobot double agent—Overhead was the real Sect leader. They soon returned to Strongarm to find their captive had escaped. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 3|Robots in Disguise #3}} After attempting to help coach Sideswipe on his acting, Grimlock took part in an attempt to capture Overhead. He ended up being physically tossed by the Buffaloid during the fight, but after she caused the space bridge she was working on to collapse into a black hole, Grimlock managed to save [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] from falling into it. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 4|Robots in Disguise #4}}

Following the defeat of Megatronus, Team Bee followed Decepticon signals to [[Fort Tucker]] and found themselves tangling with two [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s. Grimlock was injured shielding some unconscious humans from Vehicon missiles and had to be helped to safety by Drift. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 5|Robots in Disguise #5}} Returning to base, the team found empty stasis pods and the computer trashed, and were forced to resort to their own wits to work out where Steeljaw was. To the shock of the others, Grimlock reasoned that Steeljaw was probably in the [[Sierra Vistas]], leading them to successfully locate the cave in question, rescuing Fixit and Russell before engaging Steeljaw's crew. Grimlock battled his usual dance partner, Underbite, until the three Vehicons realized that Steeljaw was not part of Megatron's command. In the aftermath Team Bee was left with the majority of Steeljaw's team as prisoners. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 6|Robots in Disguise #6}}

====2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' books====
[[Cybertronian sport#Lobbing|Lob-ball]] star "Gridlock Grimlock" had an impromptu game using Fixit as the ball. When the team went to hunt [[Scuzzard]], Grimlock was left at base as a last line of defense, and clumsily managed to knock over Filch's stasis pod, freeing the Decepticon. He joined the team in hunting down both of the avians, taking down Scuzzard with Sideswipe's help. {{storylink|Bumblebee Versus Scuzzard}} When three of Russell's classmates invaded the scrapyard, Grimlock was forced to pretend to be a prop from a Japanese kaiju movie, which worked until he saw the cat [[tattoo]] one of the boys was sporting, and reacted with terror. Fixit detected Decepticon signals, which resulted in Grimlock and the rest of the team tangling with Underbite, Thunderhoof and [[Slink]]'s gang in a warehouse. {{storylink|Sideswipe Versus Thunderhoof}}

Grimlock was disappointed when a potential Decepticon incursion turned out to be a drill and he wouldn't get to punch anything. He got his chance when the Autobots apprehended [[Forager]], however on their next mission the Autobots were led on a wild goose chase. On their return to the scrapyard they were captured and put into stasis pods by the Ronin, where they remained until Drift was able to free them and help them turn the tables on the three Decepticons. {{storylink|Drift's Samurai Showdown}}

An attempt at a game of football went wrong when Grimlock punctured the ball with his teeth while calling "hole in one!" He and the rest of the team took on [[Skinkbomb]], only to find the Decepticon's explosives formidable, and the fight was lost when Bumblebee became distracted. Though the team thought Bumblebee might be suffering from brain rust, the next time they faced Skinkbomb, they all heard the illusionary Optimus Prime's voice and were all able to overcome the Decepticon regardless. {{storylink|The Trials of Optimus Prime}}

Grimlock, Strongarm, and Bumblebee attempted to arrest the Decepticon [[Brakepad]], only to fall foul of his lethargy-inducing powers. After they returned to the scrapyard empty-handed, Denny and Russell had to force them to go back out into the field and capture Brakepad. {{Storylink|Autobot World Tour}}

When Crown City was overrun by Decepticons as a result of a stasis pod modified to clone an army, the Autobots were forced to battle them throughout the city and surrounding landscape. They eventually found that Steeljaw and another Decepticon had constructed a [[space bridge]] and defeated the pair. {{storylink|Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|Robots in Disguise}}

*'''Grimlock''' (Legends Class, 2015-2016)

:Part of the 2nd wave of Robots in Disguise [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Legion|Legion Class]] line, Grimlock transforms into a robot to ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' and back! He also features a sculpted battle mask on his head...although it's painted with his unmasked face's color. Oh, well. Legion Class Grimlock sports 3mm ports on his robot hands & arm joints. His ''T. rex'' shoulders also feature 5mm ports.

:His scannable Autobot insignia is in his robot/''T. rex'' mode, on his right arm/left leg. This badge is easily scannable while still in-package.

:This figure has been released twice: First in late 2014/early 2015 the original ''Robots in Disguise'' packaging design, and then again in late 2016 in the ''Combiner Force'' subline imprint packaging refresh. And due to one of the mobile game's many updates, "unlocking" Grimlock was rendered useless by that point.

Grimlock also features a sculpted tongue in his ''T. rex'' mouth. Although he only transforms into a single step, his ''other'' step is to fold his pair of feet into two hands.

:This Grimlock can ride on his [[#Stomp_.26_Chomp|Stomp & Chomp counterpart]], but does not activate any of the larger figure's gimmicks.

*'''Grimlock''' (Warrior Class, 2014-2017)
**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''TAV-02'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[March 21]], 2015

:First released as part of the first wave of Warrior-Class figures, Grimlock transforms into a green and black ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. Unusual for a Warrior-Class, he comes packaged with no accessories. In dinosaur mode a switch atop his head moves his jaw up and down. Grimlock's right robot mode leg also features a sculpted [[Kibble#.22Faux-parts.22|fake tail]], to symmetrically match his left leg, where his ''T. rex'' mode tail had stored with. Please take note that Grimlock's hands can't grip some weapons due to his ''T. rex'' feet being in the way.

:His scannable Autobot insignia is in his robot mode, right of his chest. The badge is easily scannable while still in-package.

:The figure suffers a [[design flaw]]: His pair of arms/legs is pretty much prone to have stress marks and/or suffer breakage, thanks to the loose grey plastic piece in the pseudo-ratchet joint. This can be fixed if the grey plastic piece is glued in place (although this will require removing metal pins).

:[[File:RID Warrior Grimlock Packaging Comparison.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|left|Shelf life of a 1980s figure.]][[File:Takaratomy-tav-02-grimlock.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|''(TakaraTomy Version Pictured)'']]

: Despite being succeeded by the "Gold Armor" redeco in wave 4, the original green and black deco of the figure made a comeback in subsequent waves, in two different packaging [[variant]]s as part of the "Mini-Con Weaponizers" and "Combiner Force" [[subline imprint]]s. It is unknown whether these re-releases use the modified pseudo-ratchet joint seen on the redeco. Take note that the re-releases' badges only unlocks Energon Currency instead of the character.

: The TakaraTomy release of Grimlock uses a slightly saturated green plastic, and features extra paint applications, mostly for his alt mode's toes, and his eyebrows. Like his Hasbro counterpart, his scannable Autobot insignia is in his robot mode, right of his chest. Scanning this in the ''Transformers Chronicle'' Mobile App unlocks the toy to the app's collection list.

:Part of the ''Adventure Series'' lineup, Battle Grimlock is a retool of ''Generations'' [[Grimlock (WFC)#Generations|Voyager Class Grimlock]], replacing his heads, shoulders, knee plates, and entire torso to better resemble his cartoon counterpart. He comes with a sword with a [[5 mm post|5mm handle]] and a peg on either side of the hilt, as well as a shield which can mount via its single peg. Grimlock features 5mm ports for his hands, as well as on his forearms/lower dino legs and shoulders/dino hips. The hollow sides of his dinosaur arms feature [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]-compatible [[C joint|3mm ports]]. The LED gimmick on previous releases of the mold has been removed for this release.

:His scannable Autobot insignia is in his left ''T. rex'' leg/right robot mode arm. Scanning this in the Transformers Chronicle Mobile App unlocks the toy to the app's collection list.

:This toy can be armored up with Mini-Con [[Divebomb (RID)#Robots in Disguise|Divebomb]], despite being a differing faction. Divebomb's armor may be connected to Battle Grimlock in either mode. Divebomb himself may be stored on Grimlock's robot shoulders or in his dinosaur undercarriage.

:Part of the first wave of [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Three-Step Changers|''Robots in Disguise'' Three-Step Changers]], This roughly voyager-sized Grimlock transforms into a Robot and ''T. rex'' in just a few easy steps! His scannable Autobot insignia is in his robot mode, middle of his chest. However the badge ''cannot'' be scanned while he's in ''T. rex'' mode. Three-Step Grimlock does not features any 5mm compatible arms, but features the said ports on his front ''T. rex'' legs instead. Giving him weapons (or any Mini-Cons from the Mini-Con Weaponizers subline) to wield can be awkward.

:The TakaraTomy release features extra paint applications. Like his Hasbro counterpart, his scannable Autobot insignia is in his robot mode, middle of his chest. Scanning this in the ''Transformers Chronicle'' Mobile App unlocks the toy in the app's collection list. Unlike the American release, Big Grimlock is packaged in a windowed box, instead of an an open package.

:Although the transformation of this toy is listed as '''3 steps''', there are 2 optional steps: positioning the ''T. rex'' arms, and pulling the tail off before (then reinserting it after) transformation. However, it's possible to transform Grimlock with the tail installed anyway.

:This Grimlock is a redeco of the 3-Step Changer above, with yellow paint applications.

:The toy was solicited as '''Stealthasaurus Grimlock''' in the ''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game.

:For unknown reasons, the 3-Step Changer assortment was halted at United States release for the better part of a year, which resulted in Stealthasaurus Rex Grimlock not appearing at retail until nine months after he had been released in Australia. Afterwards, the assortment continued at a normal pace.

He also lacks the sword and the Optimus Prime mini-figure. Undocumented in the instructions, Stomp and Chomp Grimlock's weapons can be popped out by placing any ''Age of Extinction'' One-Step Changers & Power Attacker figures. However, all of the ''Robots in Disguise (2015)'' One-Step Changers cannot accommodate with the gimmick.

*'''Decepticon Hunter Grimlock with Mini-Con Decepticon Back ''' (Mini-Con Battle Pack, 2016)
**''Accessories'': 5 armor pieces (combine to form a weapon)

:Part of the second [[wave]] of the Mini-Con Battle Pack, "Decepticon Hunter Grimlock" is a new sculpt, similar in size of a Scout Class figure (In Grimlock's case, the size of ''Cyberverse'' Commander figure), with its transformation engineering borrowed from the [[Grimlock (WFC)#Warrior Class|Warrior]] class figure. Battle Pack Grimlock also features transparent yellow pieces, which can be combined into a weapon resembling a ''Tyrannosaurus'' head and can also be attached to his body to form his armor. The ''Tyrannosaurus'' head weapon can also attach to his beast mode head, giving him a hilarious giant transparent ''Tyrannosaurus'' head over his actual ''Tyrannosaurus'' head. As an undocumented feature, the ''T. rex'' head can be used as a handheld (technically, arm-''mounted'' via a pair of tabs) weapon. His scannable Autobot insignia is in his ''T. rex''/Robot chest, accessible in Robot Mode and in-package.

:Fortunately, the elbows use ball joints, removing the nasty arm-breaking [[design flaw]] the Warrior figure had, and he also possesses a pseudo-ratcheting lower jaw for his ''Tyrannosaurus'' head. Apart from this, Battle Pack Grimlock is not without some issues: depending on how tight the shoulder ball joints are, the tabs that connect his shoulders and the upper body had a tendency to get undone easily with little handling force, but it can be partially amended by adding the armor pieces 3 & 4 onto the chest. Also, the 5mm hexagonal pegholes on his ''T. rex'' legs/robot arms (depending on which piece of course) also has a tendency to develop some stress marks due to not being properly molded. This can be fixed by [[Customizing|widening the hole with a 5mm drill bit]], though this results in a circular peghole instead.

:Grimlock was available with [[Back|Decepticon Back]], a Cyclone Mini-Con which is designed to be launched from the [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] [[Crazybolt (RID)#Toys|Crazybolt]] and [[Overload (RID)#Toys|Overload]] toys.

[[File:TF-RID2015-Team-Combiner-Grimlock.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Gabu Gaburincho; Grimlock!"]]
*'''Ultra Bee''' (Team Combiner, 2017)

:Grimlock transforms from ''T. rex'' into robot, and combines with Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Strongarm to form Ultra Bee. Due to the set's nature as a 4-piece Combiner, Grimlock forms the lower section of the gestalt. Unfortunately, due to his transformation, his ''T. rex'' mode ends up having an unambiguous pair of robot legs sticking out of its butt in place of an actual tail. The set's instructions say that the included sword accessory can somehow attach to his ''T. rex'' mode to sort-of disguise/compensate for this, but exactly how isn't clearly illustrated and there are no clips that hold it securely in place.

:As with all Team Combiner torsos, Grimlock's lower torso mode has the distinction of having his hip swivels molded together, meaning the front-to-back movement is in tandem.

:Each toy uses the same universal combination joint as the other Team Combiners and the [[Crash Combiner]]s, which can lead to some... ''interesting'' combinations, given that most robots form very specific body parts when combined. Mixing Crash Combiners with Team Combiners leads to some ''especially'' weird results...except for combining with Crash Combiner torsos...which resulted in having a large pair of lower legs.

[[File:TF-RID2015-Crash-Combiner-Grimlock.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Dynasaur Combination!"]]
*'''Grimlock & Optimus Prime''' (Crash Combiners, 2018)

:A roughly Scout-sized Crash Combiner version of Grimlock that changes from a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' into a robot in a moderate eight steps, deviating from the other Crash Combiners' simplified transformations. He can also spread his legs for a more dramatic pose thanks to his combined form's transformation scheme. Unlike most of the Crash Combiner components, Grimlock features swiveling joints on his arms ''and'' 3mm compatible hands. He also has a little green arrow above the connector on the rear section (which is covered by his tail/gestalt kneecaps) indicating where to crash him to combine with other figures. A 5 mm post hole on top of his ''T. rex'' back can accommodate a compatible accessory or Weaponizer Minicon, though he cannot use it in his individual robot mode's 3mm hands.

:Grimlock comes packaged with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Primelock|Optimus Prime]] and is intended to combine with him to form [[Primelock]]'s lower torso. Connecting them to each other will activate Optimus Prime's automatic transformation, while Grimlock must be converted manually. And due to Grimlock's unique added transformation steps, Optimus Prime (and the other torso bots) ''cannot'' directly crash and combine with Grimlock unless his tail is moved out of the way. Grimlock can also combine with any other Crash Combiner figure to form a random Combiner.

:This two-pack was a very late addition to the ''Robots in Disguise'' line, with a Hasbro product code number in the same region as the wave 1 Prime Masters from ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]''.

:Part of the sixth wave of ''[[Kre-O]]'' Custom [[Kreon]]s, and the first ''Robots in Disguise''-themed wave, Grimlock uses the new 2015 Kreon construction with the hollow waist-peg and "raised" hands. He comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his extra pieces. Unlike the previous Custom Kreons, he no longer features a chromed helmet, and comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso, legs, and his arms, plus a two-sided ax and a chromed sword. He has an adorable printed scream.

:Despite what the instructions say, the body piece cannot be pegged down between the leg parts installed on the display stand. However this can be amended by adding a 2x1 brick piece.

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

==Notes==
*Grimlock speaks normally in ''Robots in Disguise'', making him the first animated depiction of the character to do so on a regular basis. He still refers to himself in the third person a fair bit but when it happens it's more intentional than a display of any lower intelligence.
*He is also the first version of the character to not be the leader of the Dinobots. (The exception to both of these is of course the [[Grimlock (RID 2001)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' version of Grimlock]], who was the only holder of the name thus far to not be a Dinobot.) The ''Rescue Bots Academy'' episode "The Great Energon" rush would later assert the opposite, however.
*This version of Grimlock serves as a demonstration of the choice that is required to join a faction in the Transformers series. Although he is labeled as a Decepticon by Autobot authorities, he displays on two separate occasions that, inherently, he more aligns with Autobot beliefs as his hesitancy to deliberately harm innocent humans in his interactions with both [[Minitron]] and [[Scowl (RID)|Scowl]] prove.
*Grimlock's design in the ''Rescue Bots Academy'' series more closely resembles the distinct [[Grimlock (WFC)|''Fall of Cybertron'' character]], though this is largely due to Hasbro's use of the [[evergreen]] designs rather than any intentional reference. Notably, he never transforms into his robot mode for the entire run of the series.

===Two Grimlocks?===
[[File:RobotsInDisguise-stegosaurconceptart.jpg|thumb|right|300px|If this guy made it in, we probably would have had this same argument about [[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]] instead.]]
For years, the "Aligned" continuity was meant to be one big ongoing timeline with a bit of squinting: the ''War for Cybertron'' Soundwave was the ''Prime'' Soundwave etc. Grimlock's debut in ''Robots in Disguise'' was initially the focal point of discussion amongst fans, with a great deal of debate about whether or not this jovial take on the character was intended to be the same guy who appeared in the ''Fall of Cybertron'' video game and tie-in comics. Some of the discrepancy in Grimlock's characterization and origin story in ''Robots in Disguise'' can be attributed to the fact that Grimlock was not originally slated to be a member of the cast, with his role originally filled by a new Transformer who would have become a red ''Stegosaurus''. This character was scrapped in favour of Grimlock at Hasbro's request, intended to capitalize on the [[2014]] debut of his [[Grimlock (AOE)|live-action counterpart]] in ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]''.

Series writer [[Mairghread Scott]] clarified that the producers had subsequently discussed attempting to work ''Fall of Cybertron'' Grimlock's origin story into ''Robots in Disguise'', but abandoned the idea after the writers decided that the "other" Grimlock's origin story would be at odds with the largely upbeat tone of the show. The writers ultimately decided to focus on staying in canon with the ''Prime'' television show, while ignoring other works of Aligned fiction such as the video games, in regards to Grimlock. Scott declined to discuss if this meant that there were two Grimlocks in the continuity.<ref>[http://mscottwrites.tumblr.com/post/117608543176/answering-some-asks|"There was some discussion at one point of whether or not we could translate the character, but TFPBH Grimlock was too dark to gel properly with RID’s group of young recruits and the more uplifting tone we were going for. Whether that means the comics got cut out of canon or there is another Grimlock out there isn’t something I can answer just yet."]</ref> Series producer Adam Beechen later weighed in with the answer that “Grimlock might be a common name among dinos”, and stated that the writers consider Grimlock a separate character to the individual who appeared in ''Fall of Cybertron''.<ref>{{Twitter|@abatesnz
Yes. Grimlock might be a common name among Dinos. But ours is one of a kind! @kharypayton|https://twitter.com/sonnova/status/606586570980749312|Adam Beechen|2015|06|05}}</ref> Barring a dramatic reorganization of continuity, we now consider these two Grimlocks as separate entities.

When this Grimlock appeared in ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (cartoon)|Rescue Bots Academy]]'', his backstory was fleshed out further, revealing that he previously went by the name '''Steelwall''' before he went by Grimlock, distinguishing him from the other Grimlock even more.

*'''Burger Optimus''' (Phone charm, 2011)

:Part of the "Transformers x [[McDonald's]]" promotion for ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', "Burger Optimus" is a "phone charm" toy that looks like a juicy hot Big Mac burger, but pops open to reveal ''Prime'' Optimus.

:This toy, as well as "[[Bulkhead (Prime)#McDonald's|Shake Bulkhead]]", was a bit of a chore to obtain. First you had to buy a Happy Meal on [[July 30]]th or [[July 31|31]]st, which netted you a ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/merchandise#McDonald's|Optimus Prime]] or [[Bumblebee (Movie)/merchandise#McDonald's|Bumblebee]] toy and a "weekend exclusive Special DVD and [[MechTech]] Sheet with red ticket". Said ticket was then traded in at participating toy stores when buying any [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|''Dark of the Moon'' toy]] to get one of the two charms. (Completing the set with "[[Bumblebee (WFC)/merchandise#McDonald.27s|Potato Bumblebee]]" was considerably easier, at least.)

He comes packed with a model kit of [[Tigerbreast#Transformers Gum|Tigerbreast]], and a stick of gum.

:This figure suffers from a [[design flaw]], in that his knee joint pegs are slightly too big for their sockets, and that the resulting connection is so tight that it makes the sockets form stress marks and eventually crack, or even cracking during assembly.
